It's like that feeling, you know, you put your heart out to prepare a meal and you get the reward of it right then and there It's like a instant gratification Hearing some of the guys say, you know, that's the best meal I've had, you know It just made standing duty on the holiday that much better.  I Am senior chief culinary specialist Derek Davenport and I'm the senior enlisted aide to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Typical day as an enlisted aide special program culinary specialists We do household management Maintain Our primary or principals uniforms and just make sure you know things go smoothly because you know traveling can be a little Intense especially when you're on foreign soil and we do all the cooking for entertaining My boss as as we say he hosts his counterparts other heads of militaries and sometimes heads of defenses and we cook for them when they come into the country And it's a snapshot of who we are. So we put our best foot forward and Try to you know, give them that wow factor when they come Around the table because a lot of times around the table is a nice place to conduct business and you can eat and enjoy your meal and have Conversation so you get the show, you know showcase your your talents and skills and abilities on some plates of food that Hopefully they enjoy and hopefully it builds a bridge between our two countries and just helps that international dialogue It's a challenge every day. You have to be flexible and you just never know What's gonna happen? It's never a dull moment days go by fast because there's so much to do. I was denied several times As a junior sailor for positions like these and then I kept screening after that So it took me eight years to get to the place where you know, I wanted to do something a little special a little bit different And this type of environment so I'm very fortunate You can't give up on it if it's something you want to do I mean you're you're in charge of your own career for for the most part just do the right things work hard Learn as much as you can Keep plodding away and it'll come sooner later Unbeknownst to me before I even took this assignment the army had a team that competes at the culinary Olympics I was the first Navy to make the team and I got to compete at the Olympics culinary Olympics last year in Erfurt, Germany and So it's pretty cool Walk away with the gold and the silver medal at the culinary Olympics, and I just was appointed this past year as the team captain for the next Olympic team Armed forces chef of the year and I won that this past year and I competed against 18 other chefs from every branch in the military and they put some phenomenal Food out anywhere from ice carvings to chocolate sculptures and sugar sculptures to live cooking events Where you have to cook your favorite dish and present it before the DUD judges to mystery basket competition That particular competition has been around for 38 years the second time the Navy's won in the history of the competition so that was very a very proud moment and I kind of rub it in at at work because I work with all army folks I said Navy does it again. You know not just football, you know I'd like to work at the White House that's always Been a career goal And I want to get back into a fleet concentration area I can give give back someplace where I can have a little bit more scope of impact among sailors I do that now training the other special programs Enlicit aids culinary specialists in the area DC area and we train twice a month and That kind of it really brightens my day to get put back and give back Stuff that's been passed on to me for all these years that I've been working. I've experienced a lot of different avenues of cooking Both civilian submarine Boots on ground in Afghanistan and now here at the Pentagon and and I cook really good, too So that's an added bonus


ending points, except the start, the first one at 55, I started it at 49. So I should have said these ones, 55, then at 57 to 59 to 61 to 63. Now I'm going to take the ending points. So the ending points end at 57. So there's the 57. And then again, I'm just going to add 2057 plus 2059 plus 2000 to 61. In Excel, I would do that by saying equals the cell above it plus 2000. And then I can simply copy that down. That's not the only way you could do it. You can also type in a couple of these numbers. It'll make a trend. And then you should be able to copy it down. And Excel will be able to see the, see the relationship, the pattern. So in any case, there's the two now, now in Excel, if I'm going to, if I'm going to use Excel to do this, I would like to then get a bucket that's labeled like this 55,000 comma 57,000 or 55,000 to 57,000 something that looks like this. You can type that into Excel. One way to do that is simply, of course, to type into the cell 49,000 to 57,000. Note, however, you have to be careful when typing numbers or when you're trying to type something in that has like an equal or a plus or something like that where you don't want it to actually do a function, a calculation or change it to a number format, but simply put in what you typed. So sometimes you need to put an apostrophe before you type something in to tell Excel, Hey, look, I just want you to put what I typed in there. I don't want you to try to make a formula from it. However, even if you type it in there, it's still kind of tedious to do. So we've put these two in here pretty quickly. These two columns, we were able to copy the columns down, even if we have large columns, what we would like to do is make a formula so I can copy the formula down. So when I have formulas that have like text in it, they can look pretty complicated. But once you do them a few times, they're not that bad. So if you wanted to do this with a formula instead of typing it, it would look something like this equals, we're going to pick what's in cell in this cell, which is represented by C 17 here. And then when I want to put a text field, I have to put quotations around it. So this is going to say, I want you to take that what's in this cell. I don't want you Excel to do a formula. I don't want you to add to it or subtract or anything like that divide. But instead, I want you to just combine it. That's why we have and I want you to and take that cell and and then in quotations type the text of just a dash. That's not a minus sign. I don't want you to subtract the two cells Excel. I want you to just put a dash between them and then and the other the next piece, which is D 17 that represents this cell. So it looks a little complicated. You could just type it in there. You can see in theory what we're doing. But in Excel, it would be great if you can get faster at doing these things. Then of course, you can do these conceptual concepts quickly in Excel, which helps you to really understand things faster because you're able to practice with them faster. So then we can then do a formula to try to say what's in that bucket. Now clearly, I could just go into my data and I could say, Well, the 55,000 in that bucket and then I can go to the second bucket and say it's 57 to 59 and I can go in here to 57 and count the ones up till I get to 59 and so on and so forth. But that's tedious. So clearly, we want to be able to do that in Excel. So this is another complicated looking formula. But if you're able to get the formulas down, then it's quite useful. So you can see what we're doing in concept. And then if you if you were to do this in Excel, you can do a count ifs formula. So what we're telling Excel, I want you to select this entire range. And I want you to count the numbers, meaning I don't want you to add them or subtract. I just count them if and there's an if with an s because we want you to have multiple conditions, there's going to be multiple conditions. What are those conditions going to be? Well, I want you to count everything that's greater than 14 49,000 up to and including 57,000. So so those are the two conditions. Now note that when I start to add this formula down, you might say, Well, wait a second, I want stuff from 49,000 to 57,000, 57,000 to 59,000, 59,000 to 61,000. What if, for example, the number is exactly 59,000? Which bucket is it going to be in? Is it going to be in this bucket? Or is it going to be in the bucket down below? And the answer we typically gonna gonna want here is I want to include it in the upper bucket. So I'm going to say this bucket is 57,000 to 59,000. This bucket is actually everything above 59,000 up to and including 61,000. And by the way, that's why I put 49,000 here, instead of 55,000 as the lower range, because I want it to be below the lower the lower range. So I can say that I want you to pick up everything that's above this number. And if I put 55,000, then it would be right on the line equal to. So I want it to be 49,000 on that first one. And that's why we have that difference. And I'll have that difference in this first bucket than I have up here. Okay, so let's do that. Then I'm going to say, I'm going to say count ifs, and then we selected the range. Now this is my argument. So we said count ifs, I selected the range with this argument, there's the range, and then comma to the next argument. So now, because we want to have greater than, we have to use the, the quotations again. So we've got to use the quote greater than quote, and then we're going to combine it with and therefore we need the and the C17. And so that's going to be saying, I want everything that is greater than what's in C17, the C17 representing this 49,000. So this is the table being selected, comma, you want to count everything that's greater than what's in C17, which is this 49,000. Now if I just hit enter there, it would take everything, it would basically count the whole thing, I think it's 51 numbers, because it's all greater than that lower limit. But we have the second condition, comma condition number two, which is going to select the entire table again. So we're just redoing the thing entire table, comma, the condition here, quotation marks needs to be less than or equal to. So notice that that first condition was, I just needed to be greater than this number. I'm not saying or equal to, I just greater than this one I needed to


This rig to that thing, if it's not an easy fix then no worry about it. It's not because that's so difficult to get like that. Yeah. And I don't know how steady that is. It's no problem. I can just hold. So if I want to take it off the thing. Hey y'all, if I want to take it off of this, is that? You have to undo, you have to twist it. I'll just hold the whole thing. Yeah, and it's probably a little easier, but. Hey y'all. You don't have a hook to this. What do you mean? Oh, I just have. Or is this, wait, is this on? It is on. I thought it was on. Maybe not. Just try it out. I'm trying to figure out how to work the, the, um, Jeff's. Oh, there it goes. There it goes. I'm trying to figure out how to work Jeff's new, um, a gimbal. And it is not an easy time. Anyways, happy Friday, y'all. Yes, y'all. We have a lot going on B. Oh, it's locked. How do I unlock it? Like it's locked it. No matter where I go, it's staying. It's fine. You want to go back? Just tap, tap that. Tap that. Got it. If you want it to follow. Y'all are late at seven after. I know I'm horrible. This, if you point that, whatever you point that at, it'll follow it. Okay, got it. So, y'all, goodness. You guys are from everywhere. Is it a cold Saturday for real? It's a pretty steamy Friday here. Misty, welcome. Also, I checked for your email. Couldn't, I didn't see it. Make sure you have the right email address. T-H-O-R-N-T-O-N at artists till death. Two T's, two L's. I have no idea why I'm not getting it, but I'm not. Freezing cold, windy day. That is not a fun time. Good morning, ATD family. Miss Les, video. I was asleep. No worries. We just did. You get screen shot it. Hi, Cindy. It's freezing in Northern New York. I didn't know you were that far north, Miss Ellen. Is Ellen who sent you the piece earlier? You said it looked good. The purple. Is she the one that did the purple? Lucas challenge? Not sure. It was really nice. Hey, Moo. Sorry for all the clutter, you guys. We've been opening boxes of everything. This is the piece we did earlier today because it was supposed, well, we originally did this one, but it was supposed to be on a white background because oops, so I had to do it again. These are all shipping boxes. We sent another massive order of sticks and paintings out today. So people should be getting them today, tomorrow or the next day. We will also be sending out another order tomorrow. I've completely gone through our entire stock of the sticks that we had here. It was overwhelming. I didn't think that many of y'all wanted stuff. You know, it was crazy. Kim just ordered her first lot of resin today. Also, I've been looking at mics for Jeff all day. And y'all, there are so many different options out there. It's confusing. I'm not entirely sure who sent that. There was no note in it. It wasn't Laura, but Laura did send Ellen, your lupus challenge was amazing. Laura sent a bun pan rack to store our paintings so that it may be more safe than down there. I'm thinking about just putting it on. I think it's on casters. I've been wanting to do a galaxy. Ellen said you two are spoiled. Hey, Amber. We are very lucky is what we... We like being spoiled too. Now I know what a girl goes like. Oh, whatever. Ultimately, we just have you guys to thank for sending us the stuff that we couldn't otherwise attain right now. They sent some of the trays separate. Those are probably the trays. Let me know. We haven't opened them because we just got them. It's amazing how like crappy the companies take care of their shipments like really guys this it came like this. They need to do better. Laura, I appreciate it so much. I can't, there are no words. Pam, I would love to see your first ever resin piece. I swear you guys, our place is so much more cleaner than this and organized. I know like all these boxes and... As soon as I get caught up on shipments, we're going to do a deep clean slash hire people to come help. We're going to bribe our friends with beer and grilling. See if they'll come help. She said I was scared shitless. Hey, Nancy from Perth, Australia. Pam took a picture and sent it to me. I haven't checked my messages in a hot minute, so I will check it shortly. We are working on shirts, Diane. We're in the design phase. We already found a vendor to make them. It's just down to designing what it's going to say, etc, etc. Okay, so here's, I have an idea. Some grandmothers in the house. We can do it for also for mothers. Since we have some grandmothers, I know we got one particular awesome grandmother in the house. I thought about making a shirt that said... Is it one or just... Yeah. Or one poor granny? Yeah. It would be super cute. There are a lot of cute grandmothers in the house. Hey, Antoinetta. And spell poor, P-O. Idea says it has to say bananas, but that was before you said that. Jerry and Jody said you're the nicest, Laura. Jeffrica really needed those. This is true. We are in such need of just, you know, I wouldn't have been able to figure out how to budget that in a while. So I just appreciate it. Kelly and Glenn here on a Friday night. What's up, Kelly and Glenn? You guys got your sippy sippy? No, Kelly is a toky toky. Okay, toky toky. We have our sippy sippies. Now, this is going to be... I'm really loving these half and halfs that I do, so I'm going to try something a little different. It's the same, but different.  I'm going to try some grays, some lighter grays, silver, and a really bright light blue, which I have no clue how this is going to turn out. Does a lot of colors. It's not. I'm just using one of these to make the color. This is the same amount of colors that I have for those. I don't know if it's even, like, if it makes a difference be, but, like, I have this pushed up against the side of the gimbal, so you may have to talk extra louder. No one said anything about it yet. I'm just saying. And so far behind, Ellen Max says I'm only a dog mom. Me too. Hello, beyond. What combo did I miss? Nothing. We were just thanking everybody for being amazing and that we're doing a galaxy poor. Laura Taylor said we got your back kids. The sweetest. My son does dye sublimation. Sublimation, sorry. So if you could get me a logo design, I could send you a sample to see if you like it. It will never fade, she says. Absolutely, Diane. It's Saturday morning in the OZ. Hey, Greg. Greg, so I'm doing the class on June 2nd and I'm thinking about doing, like, 12 by 12 surfaces for my students. I'm only taking 10 people. Do you think you could shoot me a price and if it's even possible for you to make me some 12 by 12s? Let me know. Happy Owl is a grandmother of a few. She said one has autism. He's 17 and I'm pretty sure she said special sweetie. So many people have such sweet children. I just want to hug them all. And when you soft light. We're improvising with our lighting right now. We bought a little LED light back there so it's not as harsh as those hot lights we've been using. This doesn't look anything like blue. That's awesome, CJ. Into them. Try that new blue from something that Eli can blue that they just sent us. I don't understand why it wouldn't be right here with everything else. Oh, eye candy. That's not what they sent us. Oh, I thought you were doing bright teal. Oh, I thought I might have put it over there in the thing in the stock. What color are you making? This is the one they sent us. But I can wait and use it when I do mine. What's really bad about this is it's such a thick paste. Natalie, I don't remember. You need it a little bit. So it's hard to make a color with this. Yeah. You know? Unless we had like, do we have like... I have one. Hold on. It's cool. We need like... Yeah. What's everybody drinking tonight? Uh-oh. This gimbal works awesome. Thanks, Judy. I haven't seen Judy pop up yet. But I don't see why it wouldn't work. Let's see if we can make some light blue. All right. I'm still behind. Natalie, I don't remember what brand Judy's Baker's Rack was, but if you look in the video that we poured over at her house, I listed it in the description box. There's a lot of people here that do a toky toky rather than a sippy sippy. Well, they're in probably states that... Allow it. Allow it. And I'm sure there are some that aren't. Happy Alls says looks like a great color palette. It's going to be very spacey, but I want it to be very subtle except for the light blue. That's what I'm kind of going for here. Pam did her first pour today and said the hardest part was picking colors. That is super difficult. This is what's going to be hard for me. Like this is... Zacky's do dog mom, two brats. I am a single brat mom. Amy says no sippy sippy for me to have him at work. Tomorrow I'm going to bring it. Where do you work, Amy? Or what field? Thanks, Diane. Chew me an email. Amy says I used to do sublimation. Too bad I just sold all my equipment. Ann loves your idea. Beyond Jeff used to like getting glue on his hands. He would love to peel it off. Like second skin type stuff. Ron Jackson said I have no kids. Dot, dot, dot. That I know of. Every time he talks there reminds me more of Aron. Aron with a little bit of Corey. Yeah. Greg's coming by tomorrow to drop off the triangles. We can discuss the 12 by 12s then. Awesome. How was the party tonight, E? We were supposed to go to a dinner, but I think I don't know. An after celebration. Hey, Mariette. I haven't seen you in here in a little bit. Your acrylic pours have looked pretty sweet lately, though. Terry has some of that midnight blue. Beyond. Hey, E, I want to do a pour tonight. Still think I'm going to have saggy canvas, even with tightening attempts. But what color should I do?  Purples are in right now. Tandy, I only have a four baby, too. Trish, I agree. Artists, the electric blue is bananas. John, haven't seen you in like a couple hours. How's it going? Miss Erica Lee. I think that's what he did to soften that lie. It was put wax paper over it. Nancy says three of my grandkids live in Dallas. I miss them so much. I try to visit twice a year. Let us know when you're coming to visit. We would love to meet whoever poor people want to come check out our studio and et cetera. This canvas is what size be? 12 by 12 by 30. Yeah. 12 by 24 probably. Cindy said, Erica, you're an amazing girlfriend. I can tell. I try. She is the best ever. Be. Zachy, where are you that it's so cold? And Corp says, I got $35 and give certificates for Amazon for Nurses Day the other day. Need more colors. Any suggestion for pinks? Oh, lipstick. That is red. And also not on Amazon. Judy is packing the color obsession pigment she got the other day. Thank you, Keshia.  I cannot wait to get my hands on them. Y'all, not only they, okay. I haven't tried any of them yet. I don't know how great they are, but I can tell you that they're coming out with a luxe line that will never be in my budget. I'm sure. But it has like crushed up pearl and stuff. Not yet. We're not. I'm just saying, we'll be able to in the future. Yeah. Janice said that I think she's going to send me a sample of the super awesome ones. Sharon said, could Jeff speak of just a teeny weenie EDB bit please? That's the sweetest way I've ever heard someone say he's not talking a lot enough. Idea said 420 Pittsburgh just got medical so I'm trying to get the PTSD trying to get it. Very nice. Greg and has three grandkids and another doing September. So what do you guys think about the one poor granny shirt?  I'm a poor artist is what it should be. Yeah, I'm a poor artist because there's so many great ways to interpret that. Yeah. Happy all can't drink. I'm allergic. I break out in handcuffs. We have friends that have that allergy. Amy works at a custom automation company. That sounds amazing. Sheila has an adult baby. Would that be your husband? Just made from light blue. Amy, that sounds pretty. I have two shades of purple, dark purple, pastel purple. Both acrylics don't think that's going to work. Do you have any teal or white or gold? Those always look good together. John says I have one son, three dogs and 19 chickens. What? Whoa. It looks like a fairy just farted in here. Wow. That was crazy to breathe that in. I'm sure it's not good for me. Look at that. What is this from? That is from Eli Kim. Eli Kim. Jeff, my painting looks awesome. I wasn't able to watch last night, but I watched a video this morning and I couldn't be more happy. Can't wait to get her. You're going to get in trouble. Barbara, I should. It should be set up enough to package her tomorrow and we'll ship on Monday. Metallic rose gold and Ron just said. I have some color obsession in order to can't wait for them to arise. Hey, Dee, no. Cindy's first grand kid is doing September. How awesome. Pam says I love the poor granny. Ideas said one poor granny is good. Get one poor dad also. R.I.B. I don't want this to fall. All I did was turn. I didn't do it on purpose. It's crazy in here. All the glitter. I agree, Jan. I'm a poor artist. It's good too. Sheila says I have an almost 20-year-old daughter. My mom has a 21-year-old daughter too, but she helps take care of our dad. She can love at home. Krista, I'm just a poor mom from a poor family. Here you go. Good play on stuff. Everybody's a glitter bomb when Micah attacks. Your daughter does poor's ideas. We would love to see him. Jan said listen to Suzanne. She says always tap the lid before opening. Sounds good, Amy. How is everyone tonight? Jana asks. We are amazing. All right. That looks amazing. Who is Eli Kim? Eli Kim is who manufactures MasterCast 1-1 and Rezzy Blast. I love gun metal. My favorite. Please hold. I'll show you. I don't know if you guys can see on this. So, see down here where it says Eli Kim. E-L-I-C-H-E-M. That's the brand. So, already Jeff has noted that there is a slight smell. It's like folk art. Folk art, gold may look good beyond. I mean, you have to always be careful with gold. So, we'll take over. Sheila, that's awesome. Thank you very much. Church says there is an art resin supply shop in Melbourne called Art Tree Creations who also have awesome pigments and powders. They contacted us a while back to pair up and just kind of went nowhere. I have the Maron Rose Gold. How do you like that? And we used it one time and I wasn't too sure about it. Happy Owl said, make just a poor freak. I like it. Rod said, gift left England Tuesday. Should be there soonish. Thanks, Rod. Did I make it live? By the way, it's Robbie. Hey Robbie, I thought you got your own account separate from your mom. Anyways, yes, we are live. We haven't done all of it yet. We're just mixing the resin now. I'm glad you tuned in. Barbara, that sounds like a full house. Cindy says, I have 14 grants and seven great grants. You have a full house. Judy, welcome. How is packaging up all of the color obsession? Have you opened any? Do they look amazing? Tell me what you think. Everybody says hi, Judy. Deb says, I'm a poor great Grammy. Yeah, ask Judy what she thinks of it. Judy, we're trying to figure out what we're going to put on the shirts that we're having made. And right now, Jeff wants to do I'm a poor granny. One poor granny. One poor granny or I'm just a poor granny. And we definitely want to do I'm a poor artist. Sheila, the resin that we're using tonight is MasterCast one to one. It's something that a lot of people have asked us to test out. And Eli Kim actually messaged us full disclosure and said, would you mind trying out our resin for your channel? And we said, sure. And so they sent it to us and now it's here. And we're going to do a poor way to see how we like it. Already though, I can tell you that Jeff is not a fan of the smell. It's not bad, but you can notice it. Yeah, like it's not like overwhelming or anything. This is Resi Blast. What it does is it's supposed to give you easy cells when you mix it in paint and resin. And it's kind of like an oily medium. And what it does is it makes resin disperse. However, if you use too much of this, it can make resin disperse all the way down into making fish eyes. It's a very temperamental last time I used this. However, some people say that they put it in their resin and mix it in. That's what I just said. This is what we had used in the past. You can see the results of this in the unicorn tear table, the table with all the glitter in it. And I wasn't that impressed with it because it basically just made a mess for me to clean up. It dispersed too large. Like when you drop maybe alcohol into resin, it blooms and just goes until it makes a muddy mess. That's what I found with this. And you have to wipe it down with alcohol and scrub it to clean the residue of this product off because it's almost a guarantee that you're going to have to do a flood coat because it makes an uneven, an uneven wavy surface kind of. However, this is what they sent me. This is what I had. So apparently they reformulated it a bit. So I'm going to see if this is a better option than this. I would throw this away. But I'm going to try this maybe even tonight and we'll see how that works. We'll see. Never know. Thank you so much, Krista. So do you like the gold since it reacts different than the silver and the gold?  I'm glad you're here, Nurse Calls. What is color obsession? I can only find resin obsession or hair products. Color obsession is a new product out of Australia. So you probably have to go to colorobsession.au. I'll link their website in the description box after this video posts. However, if you go to their website and decide that you want something, you can email Judy. I'm not sure the process yet, but Judy's going to be helping as a distributor for the United States. What's up, Philly Phil? Judy said, I guess I'm a poor whore, wouldn't go over well. We can make those. We can totally do it. Kaylee calls me grimy, so I'll have to order it for sure. Ann, I need to meet Kaylee one day. Pam, are you asking where you get Rezzy Blast or MasterCast or Color Obsession? Remind me. I'm going to do a review of this tonight, y'all. Can you make silicone into resin? Idea asked. I wouldn't recommend it. This is like a diluted silicone, something mixture created specifically for resin. So we'll see. Samantha, you haven't missed that much. We're just going over what products we're using. Jeff's going to pour a galaxy. Ann Marie said art resin stinks. Then when MasterCast gave her a product, she said it had no odor and she loved it. Since I have no sense of smell, I didn't argue. Art resin does, contrary to what it says, it does have a smell once you put heat on it. I'll tell you that firsthand, it does have a smell after you put heat on it. We'll see what odor this has after we start using it. Oh, that's a lot of colors. It is. Hey, Lisa, we've just mixed up color and gone over products for tonight. Rezzy Blast. So Rezzy Blast, you can order from Eli Kim right here. I think there's also something on Amazon, but I'll link it in the description box. I'm not getting paid in any way to promote this product. I'm merely doing a review.  I get cut off by my credit card company. That's funny, Ellen. Finally in craft, I do that. OZ has awesome suppliers for, you guys ever see, seem to go nuts over our color suppliers. That is true. The U.S. seems to be lacking a little bit in resin options. However, Judy and I are working to bring those products to the states. Where are you going? I'm just going sideways and I don't want to do this this way. Diane says, quote, I'm just a poor addict. My managers might not like that. Who's managers? Nurse calls. Ellen says, Australia has the best pigments anywhere. True. But we're trying to bring them to the states so that they're readily available. Redly. Lisa says, going to give Rezzy Blast another shot, eh? Yes. Because they sent me their new and improved this. We will see. I'm doing it for y'all. My Micah obsession has amazing Micahs and Glitters. They're so great and I stick them in my resin also. I haven't tried that yet. You've used it three or four times and didn't love it, but didn't hate it. And it sounds like you're not sold on it either way. Mike asks, can you explain the difference between inks, tints, powders, paste when added to resin? Thanks. That is a long question. So, Mike, the quick answer is they're all just colorants that you can mix into resin to change the color. However, each one of those reacts differently and looks differently in resin. But I don't know what your mixing time is on this. I know. That's why I'm trying to just. I heard it was similar to art resin though. Usually powders usually are more sparkly. Pastes are more likely to sell up if you want the cell lacing effect. A paste is the easiest way to get that look. In fact, I find it hard not to get cells when I use a paste. Inks are what you would use if you want transparency. Most inks you can see through them. There are acrylic inks that are opaque. However, let me catch up on this first. And a tint is very similar to an ink. But I heard you have to mix it up a lot more than an ink because it separates. Dee says, I really appreciate the reviews you and Jeff do to help us figure out if a product is good or not. Dee, it's our pleasure. I feel fortunate that they approached us to review it. I wish that I had enough. Like a lot of people had reviewed stuff before I invested money into these products. Resin stuff is expensive. It all adds up. So if I can help and give direction and tell you what I think, or what we think, it's our pleasure to do it. I was going to say something. I can't remember. I'll circle back to that. Hey, Marcy. What is the brand of the canvas? This artist loft? John, this brand is artist loft. Thank you, Greg. Judy said the time is shorter than art resin, she thinks. Trish says it's similar. Edward said I did two pores today. First was in biotechs and the other with art resin. Art resin will be the resin of choice going forward from now on. Art resin is great. Downside number one, price. Downside number two, it's soft. Yeah, it definitely takes a little bit longer to cure. Yeah. So I wouldn't say somebody orders one and say, I'll have a tea in two days because you do not want to. I wouldn't ship it after two days. So give yourself at least four days for a good cure and packing and then however long it takes to get there. Yeah, that's why a lot of our pieces haven't gone out yet. We want to make sure they're cured before we put them in the mail that's been completely rough on stuff lately. Yeah, I'm worried about that. Kelly said you got a macro. Okay, so I was sent a macro lens. However, it came with no... So I don't know if someone said something about sending it to me and I don't want to get it wrong. So I'm just going to wait till they ask if we received it. We appreciate, oh, to death, y'all's generosity. You said the screws on here, right? It's on there. It's already on. Now you're just taking off the lens. Got it. Okay, let me see if I can do this without messing up a video. Y'all aren't drunk. I'm just trying to figure out... You have to kind of really put it close to it to get right on. That's going to mess up the gimbal. I'd have to reset it. So we'll play with that in a bit. That's what she said. I think it requires a color palette I don't work with for it to wow me like gold and silver do. That's completely plausible and I would pair Rose with whites and earth tones. I think that would look really clean. Nurse calls. Erica, do you teach classes on resin art in person? We are actually doing one on June 2nd and 3rd. Email me if you would like more info on that. Thornton at artisttilldeath.com. Two T's, two L's. We're doing an all-inclusive class that goes over everything from canvas prep and we'll do demos to completing the piece on the back. Like prepping it for shipping and sanding it down and wrapping it and proper packaging. And we're giving the class for $200. But since it's all-inclusive, we're providing all the resin, all the paint, a torch, everything that you would need we're providing. You just need to show up. And sorry, lost my train of thought again. I took allergy medicine today and it's made me a little bit spacey. Yep, we're supplying everything and whatever's left over in your little kit that we give, you can take home with you to do more art with. Erica, what is the name of the black paste you use? Is it lures? Why do you have fish eyes? Why would that be? Was it gloss? Let me get that. Kim, the black that I usually use is Midnight Black by Lures. This is whale by Distinctive Concrete Concepts. Judy, thank you for covering that. I thought oil painting was expensive then I found resin. Church says art resin has become huge in OZ. I hope it even more catches on here. John, yes it is gallery. It's heavy duty gallery wrap. Zacky's Dew, we have some Bramble Berry colors that Judy had extra and let us take. I haven't used them yet but they are really nice looking colors. Ms. Erica Lee says I have been living for these half and half pours. I'm a fan. Zacky's Dew, I was wondering what a former diaper was. Mike, whatever questions you have, I have no problems answering. So whatever you think of before you do your first pour. You can shoot the questions here or you can send me an email. Happy to help. It may just be touchy with the heat gun. It's our pleasure to share what we know, Ms. Nurse Calls. Lisa says I've been using Pomeranian the last couple of weeks and I've had no issues with it. We haven't had any issues with Pomeranian either. Hey, Terry. Marcus, he did not mix the galaxy pour. He's working on it now. Now, not the original galaxy. Oh, yeah, you're, where is that, oh, the canvas is over there. Nancy said I've had tiles cured for about a week but still dented when stacked. Now I give them two to three weeks with our resin. It's a soft resin until like a month out is from what I read. Diane said, Erica, I just PMG on Facebook. OMG should be a supermodel. This is sweet. I used to dabble but been busy with the business lately. What are fish eyes? I think they've been covered up but there's, like, it's a, what's the words I'm looking for? It's a spot in the resin where, yeah, it's a pit where it will, it's just a dot that's a void of resin kind of like this but more circular. A sinkhole. That's a good word. Will you do more classes later of the year? If there's a demand for it, I'm down to do a class a month or two. We're aiming for 10 students per class. That way I can give all the attention to everybody. And we're also available for like Skype classes. Like if you want to do it via Skype so I can see what you're doing. You can see what we're doing. We can work that out and also we will do private classes. Hi Clara. Andrea, I would love to see a picture. I was about to show you my email address but I know you have it already. I would love to see what Abby's created. Theresa said, Resin will put us all in the poor house. This is true. What's up, Serb? Judy said I agree on the supermodel. Y'all are going to make me blush. Laura said I third that Judy supermodel. Y'all, hey Kelly, this is the first piece. That silver's making things look a little muddy. Was this an ink? I should know what that was. Thank you, Judy. Keisha, I'll do another one. You don't have to show up to the June one. Hey Tamara. Ooh, it does smell when the heat hits it. Resin is therapy. It's definitely a legitimate expense. He's definitely bananas. Y'all, I like that. Swizzle of white. I mean silver you did. Swizzle, that's not, that's not appropriate. Jan said the blue Jeff made is amazing. It doesn't mix the colors. Like you, like I thought it would mix, like the colors would mix together and it's not mixing. It's literally just keeping them apart. That clear is just staying. Marcy says, does anyone else not do what they're planning to do every night because they prefer to watch ATD live? That makes it amazing. Ann, I'm totally down for Skype for sure. John, I agree. With the light blue, right? Which resin is Jeff using? Tonight he's using MasterCast one to one. Where is Jeff's mask? It is over there. Is it Tayshia or? I think it's Tayshia. What's that? Let me know if I said that right. Judy says apparently Ann Marie has a worse sense of smell than I. I don't know about a lot, but I know that that silver is doing some amazingness. Like that might be my new favorite silver. Y'all, I'm seriously blushing at all the amazing compliments. And I got to go back in the gym to keep up. Tamara just did a pour, turned out okay. I'm happy, hurting, but happy. Clara says, Swizzle, the new technique. It's like blue steel. It's still working on it. This is just one big mess. I love the silver, but it's just, it's just one big mess. Definitely like the silver. Maybe super silk? Yeah, the thing is, it's not sticking to this spray paint. That's odd. We've used that spray paint before. Well, it's probably just the type of, the type of, you call it, the resin is different. And I didn't sand it, so. Yeah. Sheila said, I need to get to the point where I can sell my pieces so I can afford my habit. Put them up for sale. You never know with artwork what someone else might find appealing about your work. We have found that over and over where we're like, this is not the best piece we've ever done and then it sells first at a show. We literally, I literally just cleaned out probably 10 or 15 like messed up canvases like that just didn't go right. Put them in the hallway where we normally put all our stuff, like by the trash. And all of them are gone. I know. It was crazy. Ice waterfall. Nordic, I agree. Nurse calls. We can set up Skypes, y'all. Just send me an email. Let me know what's up. Beyond the neglector testing. Very important to do well in school. E, is it me or does it look like it's flowing a lot more tonight than on the earlier live? Are you talking about the resin? Linda said, I love spending Fridays with you. What's up, Nora? I like this. I like it because it's going kind of in two different directions and it's just colliding in the middle. This is what I'm loving. This teal. Yeah, I need to get a better angle.  Like I'm not a fan of the smell at all. The silver does what like I had hoped the silver mayron would do. It acts a lot like the gold mayron, obviously, but it's silver. The stuff just sits. The paint will just sit in places. You can see along the edge. What's silver? Ringy, ringy silver. Judy, it's this from Resi Tint. I'll bring it when we come up next time, but it's aluminum. Sorry, metal pigment powders from Eli Kim. It's pretty boss. It's my favorite thing apart about this piece. Super shimmery. I'll get a better shot of the piece when he's closer.  Kidding, of course. But how can you make everything work on a white background and I can't even work at 10 percent? Because you have to put just a tiny bit of color. You might think, oh, I'll just put a little bit over here. Don't even put it in the white if you don't want any in the white. If you want it in the white, put it next and then heat it up and blow it over. Tilt it and then tilt it back because it'll just take over. Clara said, ATD, the College of Resin. We all go to class every day. I'm surprised Shia is in on. Was she on earlier? She was on earlier. Yeah, she was on earlier. I'm surprised she's not here. Judy says, I like it. Not a mess at all. Kim says, it's bananas. Ron likes the light blue and silver. Now. Nurse Call says, Jeff is throwing down on this piece. Looks amazing. Looks like an abstract flower bouquet. People like it. I'm liking it a lot more. Oh, yeah. Shia's pup horse and house sitting for a few days. Where to sell them? Post them online. You'd be surprised that people that are interested in this type of artwork I would recommend doing by Laura I want to get a good shot of that silver at an angle. There you can get it. You can catch it on that angle. Come on. Judy, we're using your gimbal tonight. If it looks really smooth, that's why. I like this. I'm really happy with this. I'm glad because you weren't down earlier. That looks like it looks like it's deep, deep, deep. And then it goes shallow, shallow into silver. This is about around my hand. We're going to put together our bun pans tonight. Hopefully, if you guys missed it, I'll show you what we did today. Tasia says someone's going to want to buy that painting and turn it into a Harley. My house just brought in the mail and just got my ATT stir sticks. Can't wait to use them tonight. That's awesome, Tiffany. We are going to start sending our sticks out without the paper protectant on it. However, most of them that went out already have that on it. You don't have nails to peel it off or to scratch the paper off of it. Just use duct tape or some kind of sticky tape to just press it and pull it off. Like heavy duty duct tape. Anyways, if you don't know where to sell your artwork, just start an Instagram that you can post it and share on your Facebook. You would be surprised that people wanting to purchase your stuff. Janet says, I've sold paintings that I thought were a failure. We have, too. That resin does not mix well. We'll see what it does with other pigments. Hey, Suzette. The silver is Resin Tint Aluminum by Eli Kim Resins. Ms. Hercules says, I attend this class more than my actual class. Yeah, Diane, you don't want to put that much paint or ink in the resin because that will change the science of it. And it can thicken it a lot. Two smushes. If you like, I'll call that a smush. Claire, I agree. Plum will look good in the color combination. That's what I should have put in there. How many people are watching currently? 146. Tysie, I'm sorry. You don't feel well. Thank you, Ms. Marie. It's a little fast. Kim, I see you. Yeah, I'm surprised it set up so fast, too. But it's warm here, so... It is warm in the studio. That's true. Let's see what alcohol does to it. Are you going to sprit some spritting? Yeah, thank you. Answer is nothing. That's probably because it's already setting. Most likely. Lisa said, I assume that was marron silver, by the way, it was setting on top. Right? Billy Phil, yes, you can be resident certified for attending class if you graduate. Diane, a lot of times we will leave the drips on the side of the canvas because our clients like the organic look that lets them know that it's not a print. This was our earlier today video. Nope. Yep. We had an order for Lazy Susan and Seafoam and Gold, so therefore Seafoam and Gold. We will have to do... Thank you, Kim. I actually think I want to do that right now. We'll have to do a top layer because... Let me just scrape those off. Oh my god, that's already dry. Just heat them and cut them. I'm just sanding. I want to do that. I want to... We're just going to do it real quick. You guys come along. Because if I don't, then I can't do it. You guys, this is almost dry. What resin was that? East Coast. Oh, East Coast? Yeah. That's so rad. Where's my... Ann, it may be sold on Amazon just so you know what to look for. It is Resi-Tent by Eli Kim-Rezan in the color Aluminum. Judy says, I think my coffee table will look good in those colors. I would agree. It would look great in your place. Tiffany's coasters didn't make it in her package. They're over there. I was wondering where her order was. I'm going to get organized, I swear. Tiffany, I will send you those coasters. I sent her the stir sticks out before I printed out everything else. So the two TIF coasters? Yeah, we wrote on them. I know. Yeah, Judy, it was definitely a shorter pot time. Yeah, that was a little bit, and it smelled almost a little loopy. Clara asks, when posting artwork, do you normally post a price with it? Sometimes if I want to... If I want to sell it, I'll put a price tag on it. If I don't, and if I want to see if people like it to get a feel, I just put the size and say, if you're interested, inbox me or email me. We'll talk about it. That's awesome, Ann. Thank you. Neighborhood groups on Facebook. I get a lot of commissions from those. Be honest, I tried to sell one of my phone cases one time and someone thought it was free. Make sure you say when you post it, this piece is available for sale. Philly Phil said I posted a few on Facebook, and when I told them the price, they say I'm crazy. They don't deserve your artwork, Philly Phil. How much? I think you can't even beat art. John said, how do you sell on Instagram? I don't have any account there. You just post photos and let people know that it's for sale, and they will contact you. That's true. Hey, Alan. It's bananas. Your piece got top-coded today, Alan, by the way. Diane's bedroom since Tuesday after surgery. Thank God for ATD videos to catch up on and lives. I'm glad you turned in. I'm sorry you're on bed rest. I hope you feel better. Nurse calls. I have to get ready for work. I'm going to email about the classes. My 11-year-old loves art, and I would really like to bring her with me to your class. I can't make the June class. If you want to set up a one-on-one or one-on-two class, just let me know. Also, I'll have another class next month. No worries. My name will have a microphone. Tamara, yes, the lens did come in today. It didn't have a note with it, so I wasn't sure where it came from. Looks like this. I would have it set up on this, but I'm using the gimbal, and I already have the weight situated, and if I added it on, it would throw it off. However, Jeff played with it this afternoon and thinks it's bananas. Thank you, Clara. Hey, fam. Does the resin have to be fully cured before applying another coat, Maryette? No, it just needs to be tacky set. So you should be able to run your hand across it, but when you touch it, it'll feel tacky. The reason, okay, so if it's tacky set like this, you probably could have done it like an hour ago from how this feels. You don't have to sand it if it's tacky set. It will bond to itself because the resin's gonna heat, melt this slightly. Oh, I almost got in the splash zone. And it'll bond together. If it sets fully like the next day, you would need to sand it down to do the top coat. The time it takes for it to get tacky set depends on... Yeah, this, east coast? ...what resin you used. This stuff sets fast to use it for a... I'll send them to you, Tiffany. Where do you get the Lazy Susan to pour on? The client that ordered this piece brought the Lazy Susan to us to pour on. However, you can get them from Ikea. I hear they're $10. Also, if you look in our last video, I linked to them on Amazon. I think it was like $12. What resin has the smell? That was MasterCast 1-1. I'm gonna do another pour with it, however, give it a shot. Night Nurse Calls. Kim, I think I saw that too. She is beautiful, so I don't know. That blue steel resin metal is $43 on Amazon. Really? That's a lot. Erica, should I PayPal my deposit for the 6-2 class? Where will the class be held? Yeah, you can PayPal the deposit. It is, the PayPal is Thornton at Artist Till Death, two T's, two L's. The class will be held in this building. We have an artist's row, kind of. And a lot of times people hold classes in the space down there. I'll show you guys on a video. But we're holding it here so that it's not a big transport from the studio to where we're doing the class. It's so subtle. It's so classy. Very classy. Oh, there goes the sniffles. Judy, this would look amazing in your front room. Oh, I don't know. In Canada, Resi-Tent Aluminum is $45 for 15 grams. Chris, I agree.  And they can't afford it and they just want to make themselves feel better. Haters. Haters, the haters, the haters. That's if I'm as amazing. Agreed. Is that a polarizer lens? It is. It is. The thing is, it's three lenses. Well, two lenses, one filter. You can take the filter off. You can take the wide angle lens and then you can take the macro which is super up close to where you have to get inches from your subject and then it just blows it up. It was much needed. Thank you, Tamara. What are you looking for? Your canvas is over there. Husbands calling me to bed. Good night. All don't forget to press the thumbs up button. Thank you for reminding people, John. Also, tell hubs we said hi. Philly Phil said a 12 by 48 color piece for 250 just because I'm starting out and they said bye. 12 by 48? That was a big piece. That's a big piece. That's a great, that's a, I love that. Like I love that size. That's a great size. Don't lower your prices for people like that. Somebody will buy it.  Like who cares? Unless it's one of your favorites. Yeah. Judy, I thought about that. Hi, Sherry. How can I post a picture of my logo to get thoughts? Janet, I don't think you can post photos in the super chat feed. If you can go for it, but I don't know how to do that. Sounds good, Greg. Have a good evening.  It gets tiring, but the prep is worth it so that the piece turns out like it should without having to do top coats. Yeah, just that. Southside just called me. I bet they're looking for that thing I used to bring the, give your phone in your pocket. I have to call them. She had to go call our office real quick guys. Guys in gowns. So no questions and no comments yet. Okay, I'm the boss. I think this is what I want to do and I know it's going to be crazy. Just because I want it to be a galaxy, it's a rainbow galaxy. The fun thing about it is, because these are all iridescent. Laura got these. Appreciate it, Laura. We're going to use them. They look different. I'm going to shake them up. That's for sure. Sippy'd my sippy yet. My hands are getting so sweaty. All right. This should be interesting. So we're going to use artist present. Cheers. Because this is going to take a minute. And it's a visible artist. I've been watching and learning for months now. You guys are great. I'm glad you posted. Letting me know. Happy all said I've been posting on Instagram, but not prices. I'd assume they would know it's for sale. You never know.  They, uh, people surprised you with what they don't know sometimes. Think about this color. I mean, too, too ambition. Missy said, LOL, what you doing, Jeff? What did I miss? LOL, what you doing? Ron said, Jeff, I need a DNA sample. I think you're my dad. Oh, come on. That looks bananas right now. I think you candy bee idea said, go Jeff, hit that beat. Bee, Lisa said, listen to Jeff trying to make the rules. Why he is gone. Where is, uh, where's ideas from? Does he live in Dallas? No, Pauline is from Colorado. Come hang out. Tasha looking for family's ideas. I have a triptych. By the way, it's TR IPTYCH future reference. I had to look it up the first time I tried to sell it to spell it prepped in purple and not sure what I want to do with it. What do y'all think? All three canvases are purple. Electric blues always look flat and purple does too. Carly Jay says, you guys help fold, help making folding. You guys help fold the wash less boring. There you go. I don't think so, but I have no idea. I don't think so, but I have no idea. E science. Oh, Jeff was beat boxing. Got it. Love the color palette. Drop the mic. Love the colors. You need glitter. Tandy glitter is very difficult. It's all iridescent. Yeah, it is iridescent. Color palette is bananas. Pittsburgh PA. I'm sorry you didn't get a notification. You're only 79 minutes late. We only did one piece and a flood coat so far. Also, for people that don't know what a flood coat is, what we did on the Lazy Susan was a flood coat. Tamara said, please tell me the sets of inks that are hers include the ones just there. I think you did get an iridescent pack. I think I made too much. I think you made way too much. However, posters. I think you have another painting worth of resin in there. I got two paintings in here. Definitely changing my post. I need to sell something. Gotta get supplies. Post your artwork. Post it everywhere. Someone emailed me not too long ago and said, how do I go about setting my art up like you do and marketing it? No, how do I get YouTube channel? Art YouTube channel. That was a different email. However, my recommendation for that is you have to get your name out there. If you don't do it, nobody's going to do it for you. Even to get the attention of people that can help you, you have to put your art out there. Get an artist's Instagram, get an artist's Facebook and post every day. Her day. All the days. Bye, Leanne. Ideas that I want to hang out for sure. As soon as I can travel, I'll be your special guest star. As soon as you can travel, do you have an ankle bracelet? I just told you, Pennsylvania. In the interest of not adding to waste, I wipe out my resin paper cups with alcohol straight after using the residue dries and I can reuse them. Does anyone else do this? That's a good idea. It's a good idea. We do that with our... With our stir sticks that you can buy. Trusty Dusty Dandy. Trusty Dusty Dandy. Dusty Free. Oh, yeah, yeah. You cannot rewind. No, you can't rewind. Billy Phil says, E, Jeff has brought his A game, these last few pours.  I might do a pour tonight. You guys feel like hanging on for the later part of the vid? Mustard seed common and making melted painting is fantastic. I haven't seen him in the live feeds, though. Thinking about doing my dining room table after I do a few first. You should totally do your dining room table. We started doing pours on tables, actually. We did like four paintings and then we did a table. We had no idea what we were doing. Natalie just started a new account. You need to start a business account anyways. The difference is how they contact you versus a personal account. Ideas that Dallas is to inform Pittsburgh is 412. Oh, nice. Bristol, we are in downtown Dallas, Texas, and we are doing a class June 2nd and 3rd. You should totally come by. Also, if you would like to, shoot me an email at Thornton at artisttilldeath.com. Two T's, two L's. We got to do something with that two T's, two L's business. What is an artist Facebook? Is that different from one's regular Facebook? You set it up as a business account and then you can link it to your personal Facebook account. That way you don't really cross over business and personal if you don't want to, even though all of our stuff is on all the pages, but some people want to keep it separate. So that's an easy way to do it. Also, you can set it up where you can sell stuff through your Facebook page and it'll like, I think, through Stripe into your bank account. Hey, Kelly Green. Is that a coincidence name or did you make that up? What? Kelly Green. Oh, I get it. It'll take me a minute. Zero String, is that something I set up or that is just an option? Ms. Erickley said it's Friday. It's time for late night course. I can't argue. Idea said I can't travel right now because of kid and money. I'll be good to go soon though. Well, if you need to bring the kid, that's fine too. He can play with Kujo. Tamara said, what if you are too ill to art full-time? I'd like to sell my stuff, but if I crash, I can be asleep for days at a time, unable to communicate for a week.  I'm so sorry you go through a chronic illness like that. However, if you make that information public and up front, then I don't see anybody having an issue. I mean, how can you get mad at someone for having chronic illness?  So just make that something that's very evident on your pages. That's what I would do. I wouldn't let that keep me from artying and selling my art for sure. You can show me the label on the inks. Sure can. Hope they are closed. So these are all Doc Martin iridescent calligraphy colors. These came in a set from you guys. Huh? Laura gave us those. Yes, Laura. She already had to get off the feet, unfortunately, but Laura sent them. They come in like a color wheel of maybe 12. It's a really neat set. I will link them in the description box below after this video posts. Over time, you'll say email me at my... Oh, you will email me at my fiance yells, two T's, two L's. It's a thing. It's two T's, two L's. Margaret said, I have slabs of trees that have shellac on them. Should I leave it on or sand it off before I pour on them? Is it an even layer of shellac? Because if it's even, you can just sand it just a little bit to create a tooth. If it's not even, I would just sand it off completely. Kelly Green said, I married Mike Green, but I love the name. Tasha didn't accept my friend request. I feel very rejected. That's funny. I need to do that for the hour we sell too. It's a very good idea to start business, Facebook and Instagram pages. It's super helpful. Kelly said class, please tell us more. I live in Oklahoma and stay at Nylo when I'm in Dallas. Nylo is literally, literally next door to us. Since you stay at Nylo, you obviously know where Southside is. However, we're doing the all-inclusive class that includes every bit of material you need all the way down to the canvas and the heat guns. It's going to be over two days. Email me at Thornton at artisttilldeath.com. Stay with me, two T's, two L's. And it's 200 and that goes for June 2nd. The class will be at least two hours. Starts at 6 p.m. And the third, the class will be at least an hour where I will show you guys how to clean up the back of the canvas, how to prep for shipping, where to sign, how to price, all that stuff. Um, that was a fun sound. If you do have any other questions, you can feel free to send me an email or message me on Facebook or Instagram. Happy to assist in any answers I can give you. We're going to try to do the classes every month at least and we're only accepting 10 students. I know it isn't a pretty array of colors. He said it's going to be a galaxy, but it looks more like it's going to be a rainbow. Barbara, I can absolutely add stir sticks to your painting. I'm waiting on, I'm out. I'm out of the medium sticks. I'm waiting on our manufacturer to cut me some more of that size before I can send the next bulk shipments out. We are also opening on Monday international orders from Canada, the UK, and Australia. Is it not looking amazing? This is going to be like very pastel-y. I think I need to put a black down just to give it some... Have you arranged for lodging for people that want to come in from out of town? I might do that for future classes and have like a bulk group block set up at a hotel. But as of right now, I just don't have the time to deal with the hotel. However, I will. Jane, is that the logo you were talking about? Did you put it on? She changed her profile picture to be... That's very smart. Andrew said, Eric, I hate to ask, but can you show me what you have available for the round coasters? That or can you line them up and take a pic and send them to me so I can see which ones I want to add to my collection? I totally can. I'll try to line them up at the end of the video. If you're still here, just remind me. If not, no problem. I'll send you an email. Just send me a preemptive email so I don't forget because life. Class sounds great. We're just staying nearby. Well, the Nilo is right next door. There's also the Lorenzo that's really close and the Omni. We're downtown, so there's a million options. If you search for hotels, just search downtown Dallas. Diane asked, do you like the inks, Jeff, is using or acrylic inks? They come in the same type looking jar. I think these are transparent inks rather than... I know, but are they opaque? They don't really look opaque. So far, the colors are great. Jeff said once the resin hit, it turned kind of pastel-y. I mean, it looks like I'm making Easter egg. Easter egg. So I think I want to do this with... Huh? I didn't know if you wanted... I didn't know you used that. I have this, but I don't want it to be too stark, right? I don't know. I just grabbed it just in case you needed it. Trust me, people do because it's invisible illness. Tamara, I believe you, but I still think that you should... You don't have to tell people your medical history. Just be upfront enough about it so that, say, you do crash for a couple of days, people aren't thinking you're just not responding to emails or set up like an auto-email response to go out when someone sends an email. Or have a friend help you out. Or that, well said, can you be... It will be a rainbow galaxy. This is true. Yeah. Sherry, I do believe that yours have gone out. I'll check with what stack I have left over there in just a minute. What supplies are included in the class? Okay, we're going to provide the colors, like the paints, stir sticks, a torch, the resin, the canvas, gloves, the wax paper, the cups, coasters for leftover resin. Why wouldn't you be there too? You used them earlier. I have no idea this if you need it for a future. No, I think what I'm going to do, I'm just going to do... Basically, everything except for a respirator will be provided. How do we order for international? I'm going to set up another link on the webpage where it says UK sticks, Canada sticks, Aussie sticks, just so I can keep it separated enough and know what goes where. Kim, I will show how we package a large painting the next time we package a large painting. But if you have a question about a specific thing that's included, just let me know. Yeah, I can see it. It looks really good from here, obviously. And on my phone, the image is T-Tiny, but it looks good from here. What were you saying, B? Colors. Bring your uninflatable mattress and sleep with the paints. That's funny. Jeff, don't forget your socks. He only has the issue with art resin. Oh, I thought... Do you want me to put them on it? That looks like it could be really neat looking on it down.  You can make just flowers that way. Let me see your little piggies. All right, it makes everything better. I agree. Ron said I email pics from her porous fails, but I'm still learning. If you email them to me anytime after like 11 this morning, I haven't seen them. Kim says this is cool looking. And are the Bombay inks you use more transparent? Are they opaque? I'm searching Amazon for more supplies and trying to find colors other than Micas. I, in terms of Bombay inks, prefer the transparency of inks because you can create depth with just one layer. I like what it looks like when one color rolls over the next and it shows the color that can be created with one going over the next, if that even makes sense at all. But these are not transparent like at all. The iridescence aren't. Looks like it will be very rare borealty. Candy Bee, we do also leave when people commission two to three weeks in order to complete a piece. Andrea, there's a Nilo in Dallas. My bed is from Nilo in Rhode Island. They had just gotten ready to open the hotel. There was terrible storm and flooded the whole hotel. That's bananas. Next door to us is a Nilo. You can't even see the purple. Missy, you just sent me the email. I was wondering what was going on with that. I couldn't, I had no idea. I'm not turning off the way I thought I would. The first-timers little kid version. Thanks, Diane. Tamara said Jeff can blow like no other. Lies, I'm pretty good. It's Friday. It is Friday. Oh, thanks, Ron. See what I've got going on here. What have we got over here, kids? It looks like that. Easter borealis. Yeah, I feel a heavy tilt coming on. Andrea said it's funky. I like it a lot. It makes perfect sense. It's going to order a set of the regular, not the iridescent. You'll really like the regular ones. They're really deep, vibrant colors. They look really good. So can't wait to see how this turns out. The colors are so cool. Love the colors. Looks cool. That would be beautiful in a baby's room. I want to do a baby's room one day. Barbara, I do believe we have both of those. Yes, there's that laugh. I'm really not digging it. So let's do something else to it. Very 80s. It is very 80s. Hey, everybody that just tuned in. Hey, everybody just tuned in. Welcome to the 80s, MTV style. I have a new grand baby due in September. We'll hit you up for something special. And I'm super excited. Just let us know. Eric, are you trying to say something? A baby's room some day? Oh, I'm going to have a baby. I told Jeff that I'd love it if he was a part of that process. All right, so that didn't go over. And you can do all the things with it. It's super Easter eggy. I thought the colors would be more vibrant. Like that's the pink. It doesn't. It's not. I wonder if our art would be great like Jeff's if we wore hats when we pour. Try it. Ron, I say if he wants to be part of the process because he's already had a son. Okay, let's let's let's change the subject. Next. Everybody in everybody's business. Hey, hey, hey. Agree, Dennis. It is iridescent, though. This is true. It's super iridescent. But it's not opaque. And I'm not digging it. Perhaps it'd be more vibrant on a lighter background. Perhaps. Yeah. If I used the white, it probably would have been a lot better. Does anyone else think Jeff's going to get is the bill of his hat and the resin every time he blows on it? Every time. I'm like, he's going to scrape the art. I think Andrea's daughter is going to love this one. All right. You need two mics. One day mustard seed. I'm going to order the mics. I've priced some inexpensive ones on Amazon. They're only like 30 bucks each for like a wired mic, like a little Pell mic. So I'm going to order those probably this weekend and we'll see how it works. Billy Phil, I see you. Oh, Andrea said you better watch shy. She was all over his son earlier when she was on here. Mark said the yellow is the only one that is bright. I know. And usually I'm not a fan of the yellows. Make it into a giant drippy pour. That's what I'm doing right now. What? You're going to, oh, you're not turning it into a waterfall? That looks fun. Just that looks fun. Y'all will be able to see in a minute. That is a total gradient. I didn't expect it to do that. That's for sure. Merp. That's what you call a... Y'all, it looks so interesting in person because there's a huge hair. I wonder who that is. Hmm, probably yours. Oh, did it touch that? Lisa says every time you'll talk about mics, I always think of myself two turntables and a microphone. On the ones and twos, now that's a nebula pour. Looking good. Turning interesting. Very Pink Floyd-ish. Barbara J says, beautiful, love it. Rainbow trippy. Andrea said, Jeff Abbey said, that's awesome. We love it when Abbey tunes in, Andrea. It's like the end of space and the beginning of space. I call it a rainbow universe. Universe rainbow. I think rainbow universe is good. It's so... Rings of Saturn. Can you add them to the invoice for me? Barbara wants two coasters from her mini pour, the little big. That doesn't make sense. The big one she wanted to commission the little one of. Well, she has one. That's actually what was hers. That's what I was telling you. I think you tried to sell it. And I told you that that was for that one and then the big ones for the other one. Oh, well, she wants two coasters. Barbara, I can. Absolutely. Stop, stop, stop. I love it, I love it, I love it. No, that's a cold galaxy. Abbey said, it's rainbow. Looks sick. Bronn said, how much? Man, look at this. You guys, this is so... I've got to find something cool. All right, I need you to watch out because I'm going to be, I'm going to be... You're getting in there? Yeah. Bronn, I'll ask him as soon as he's done doing whatever he's about to do. Everything is on this one. Psycadelic is really cool. Now that's nice. Like ice crystals in the sky. It needs some purple. Linda, there was purple in it, but it like... There's magenta. Faded. Well, that's what it is. It's blue, purple, magenta, orange, yellow, green, light green, or teal, light green. All right, I'm going to... Oh my God, this is so nice. Like, I'm... All right, let me get it on camera. Digging it. And it's selling. Like it's just, it's selling. It doesn't show the iridescence from the side. We're going to have to go back over here. Let me see if I can get... Oh, it's perfect on this side. Hold on. Just stop. Oh, and it's so smooth. Art resin? God. See, there's no way we would have been able to do this with anything else. God, to give me something to drink. Super smooth finish. Ron wants to know how much. What is this, an 8 by 24? Um, yeah, 250. 250? For those interested, it is 250. Perfect save. So pretty. It's the rainbow bridge from Thor. That it is. Rainbow Univorce. Idea said, liked it before and after. Ron said, can I buy it? Sure, 250 plus shipping. Bye, Miss D. I'll check the email. I agree, Barbara. Let's see what's like over here. Let's take a look at it. Chris said, turn something out of nothing. Something out of nothing. Oh, you can see the sparkle now. It's so subtle. Night, Keisha. Erica, do you have an iPhone honey needs to know for a mic? Yes, I have an iPhone. Andrew said, if you make coasters like that, we'll take a couple. I think he has some resin left. Well, you should look at this. How fun. Oh, wow. You should just dip them. You should do some smushes. I don't think it'll work with the black. Never know. Sharon said, I want it. Don't care how much. Well, y'all, the first one to send me at least 250 can have it. Oh, plus shipping, which would probably be about $22. Sunset in space. That's a good one. Karen, G, thank you so very much. Prismatic, right? Megan said 250 is too low for that painting. Kelly says I'd buy it if Thor came with it. Y'all, funny story. That's not that funny. Interesting. Probably not even that interesting. My brother's middle name is Thor. He's from Iceland. Dip it. Tamara said, do a smush and find out. Agreed. Clara said, do you have enough resin to do a second? Sounds like you have two buyers. Man, I can't even promise that's going to come out like that, though. I don't know if that's a recreatible one. Well, I think what had happened is it just that resin that I poured in that rainbow, those lines, it just pushed all that other stuff off and just blended in until the back. Nice, CJ. Sharon said sending money now. Bron, we can try to make another one. Well, we'll see. We can try to make another one. I know. But then I said, first one to send money gets it because we had people recently that said they wanted it. It didn't end up buying us the piece, which is fine. But because of that, it has turned into first person to complete the sale gets the piece. Ron, let us see what we can do. Maybe I'll do one of those. I'll do my take on your pour. Should have had a bidding war. Well, that's funny, guys, because I never think, I mean, I don't take my artwork for granted. I never think that it's going to sell. I never think I'm very thankful for that. Amber Alert. How did you prep the base of that just black? How did you prep the base of that? It was just black, right? In his face. Oh, yeah. And that is not the canvas for it. Well, eight by 24. It's hard to see that somebody said night, Ron. I'm going to make a special one for Ron. Plugging the effects of the iridescent inks. It definitely does some interesting stuff for sure. I'm doing my interpretation of it. She is prepping a canvas right now. I'm cleaning my hands with alcohol. I think we should have had a bidding war. We should say. Hi, Janine. Edward said, I feel bad for Ron, man. I'm about to do a piece. Yeah, there was an Amber Alert kidnap child. That's so bad.  But when we have people that like say they want a piece and we lose out on a sale when they don't follow through on it, it becomes business. So because I feel bad, I'm going to do my interpretation of just for we'll see if it works and we'll give them a discount if he wants the piece. On a canvas that's almost twice as big. What do you mean? You up? Honestly, I don't remember. It's not really going to matter. He just put it in there and makes it together. It's going to make sense. It's not going to matter. What happened to I'm never going to take off my banana shirt. When we get the smocks, I'll leave it on forever. I think we need to get some more in touch with what's going on around me. I feel horrible not knowing about it. Sorry about Ron, but I love that piece more than you asked for it enough. Thank you, Sharon. Is somebody? Brian? Biana? Brian? He said what? She said what happened to I'm never taking off my banana shirt. Kelly, maybe the first one to put down a deposit. Some might not have enough funds straight away for a full amount. Minions love bananas. Yeah. Thank you, Sharon. Like what is that noise? But then they can't hear me. So what are you going to do? What are you going to use? All of them colors you use. Okay. Well, you need- I don't know why their names said over here. They're all over here. All right. So she is going to do another rainbow or galaxy. It originally wasn't a rainbow. It was just a- I wanted to do an all colors galaxy just to see what it would look like if you just came to the room. Because I do feel bad. I don't want to take a piece from anybody, but you know what I mean? Lisa, I've never poured on a 36 by 36. We've done a- this piece right here. Whoops. I'm using a gimbal for the first time. This piece in back of her is a 24 by 24. I loved it.  Take a lot of this stuff out of it. Does anybody know when exactly Mother's Day is? Sunday. All right. I've got a painting to do tomorrow. No. There would be no way I could do that live. Andrea Moore. I'd like both of those coasters, please. You know, I have to do a painting for somebody. I don't think you need that much to do with each of these. I mean, this is almost twice as big as the canvas, almost, that I use. So you're going to have to cover this whole canvas. And well, you're doing it the way you're doing it, you said. So it's going to be different. It's not going to be the same, you said. Well, it can't be the same because it's resin. Also, you tell me to do less than each, right? Yeah. I'm just saying, I'm not going to do it. So I'm not supposed to do this. Guys, I would be reading these comments and whatnot, but I'm helping her do this right now. Did you lay the colors down in order? Yeah. I just hope that it's still the same. You need to heat that up. I'll find them, send them an info. It's fine. We'll make it up to Ron. Okay. On the last one, you poured black up here. Were you happy with how that turned out? The thing is, I don't know how it's going to react when I do, when you do it that way, because all those other colors and all that other stuff was underneath it. So I don't know if that was the case, that it just rolled over it, or if it blend, or I don't know. What I did is I did black. I did these in order like that, black, and then I just kind of went down the line. I just kind of overlapped them. You think I should sprinkle the colors on before I do these? No, because you won't have enough. You won't have enough to do that. All right, I'm just going to do it. Mary Jane said, the only reason I started pouring is because she showed me in a dream. She wanted me to try it. I'm doing an acrylic at the moment, but I have all the stuff to start resin. Very nice, Mary, very nice. Am I doing these lines too thick? That's way too much. I don't remember yours, like semi-filling like that. Well, there was a whole bunch of one underneath that, so it's going to be different. You think I should rock it before I didn't tilt? I don't know, just tilt it. I mean, I don't know what it's going to do. That's the reason why you tilt it, and you've got to, it's one of those things where it just touches the edge and touches the corner. It just attaches itself and then it makes that, that's not going to matter. I'll just poke it. Now go to that corner. Just tilt it more down this way, at an angle. So it touches that corner. Now back this way. Now tilt it up. Now tilt it all the way back this way. Now super. Kind of add it, add it. Just tilt it point down that way and then over this way.  Start again down here. Take the yellow. Do yellow. Don't do black. Do yellow. No, no, no. Do the, do the greens. Start with the dark green, light green. Just go backwards. I was going to say do it just in the corner and then this way, but you've already started. Look at that. Why is there so many pits in there?  Pour that orange over here. Don't go over the yellow. Go this way. Just do the purple right here. I said just do the purple right here. Don't go over that orange with that. And then just do the blue right here. Now heat it up a lot. Quite massive pitting. Yeah, just heat it up. What do you think you're doing? Like super heat it? Well, it has to run. It has to, it has to get thin enough so that it all runs together and then it just, if, that's how it fades together. Is that up high or is that just low? Just go in, go in line so it just blends together. All right, now, yeah. Now just tilt it. Come this way, bring it up and let it roll over this way and I'll do it again that way. Now bring this end up, go that way. All right, now stop and I'll just tilt it back that way. Man, I don't know why all those pits are down there. Just let that go over that and I'll tilt it back this way. Yeah. And then I would just super tilt to the corner and then I would just, or actually tilt it and I'll bring it up and I'll go back that way. Let that yellow run. All right, now just lay it down. That's more of a rainbow galaxy. That's beautiful. This beautiful Iran is going to love it. Good.   Low battery. It was fully charged when we started. All right, we got 20% on the battery. Everybody's hearts. Everybody's hearts. Everybody loves it. I would heat that up a little bit right there because of unless that's dirt. I have no idea. Well, it's just, it's very lumpy. It's like there's all kinds of stuff in it. Okay, come over here and look at it. I worry if I heat it up too much, it's going to pit. Is it just me or is there something erotic about that painting? Well, don't heat it up anymore if it's going to pit. I'm going to put it away. But I hope Ron likes it. Well, hold on. I don't know if there's even any room for that size. Hold on. Hold on, guys. I'm going to put you down. Hold on. Hopefully it'll be right there. That's great, Erica. I hope you're happy with it. It looks good. It looks more like a like a like a rainbow galaxy. There's a couple, there's a couple pits, but nothing a top coat won't hurt. It's not quiet. Is there anything like anything? Well, there's a couple of people telling somebody at home. Yeah, the table's all sorts of colors. I think we should just mush it all together and then I want to do some close-ups. Okay, mush it. No fake smiles over here. I said I adore how real you all are. That's one of the reasons I like to watch. Oh, it can be drama sometimes. People are like, y'all work so well together on like Sundays. Most days were good.  When y'all came into our channel, it is 100% an authentic look into our lives. It looks like it's settling back, man. Good. That looks like mud. I'm going to tilt it and hopefully it won't be too muddy. Hi, Andrew.  Kujo, what are you doing? Can you say hi? Did you just want to say hi to all the poor people? Look at all the poor people. Kujo. What do you think? Did you just want to say hi? Kujo. He's like bugging. What are you doing, Kujo? Look how scary that is. That's the old piece I did a long time ago. See you, Clara. Yeah, he does want to go out. That's what he's huffing in and puffing in about over there. We're at one hour 50. No, 150. You message above. Sorry, these are coming in fast. You can use them for whatever you want, Candy Bee. I always thought that the people that turn stuff, I've seen them put wood chips and pencils and all kinds of stuff into resin and let it set and then they turn it into a pin handle or, I don't know, a knife handle. We have quite a bit of skins left. You can just literally let this set right here overnight and you can just peel it up. Hold on, guys, sorry. Moving around a lot. I apologize. I'm still learning this gimbal. We just did this just to like mix everything that we've painted in there one time. And we're just going to save them. Somebody wants to buy them from us. We have a small box that we're going to give to people, but we have been so busy, it's just hard to... This is the mud run to put them away. That's fun. That's great colors. Wow, a teal. Rod's making a suit out of resin skin. Now, well, yeah. Some poms do bark a lot. Kujo's a very good little boy. Thank you, Kim. This was my first drip that I did on purpose. I'll see if I have Ron's email and send him a photo of the painting. Yeah, I don't know. People can make jewelry and stuff out of them. They can stamp different shapes or whatever. I have no idea. They're just all big muddy. They make great placemats. I think they would dissolve them. Kelly says, I'm telling you, we have to make a dress for Lady Gaga out of the skins. I have a friend that knows one of her designers, but I don't know how difficult that would be. Ron, I remade that piece-ish. I did my take. I don't know if someone went and got him or if he was just lurking, but I did a 2.0 version. It is larger and you will absolutely have the first offer. If you are interested, just let me know.  If not, that's cool too. No hard feelings on my end. I just didn't want you to think that it's not all about the business with us. It really isn't. I just had to look out for the business since we had people flake before. So anyways, if you want the piece, let me know if not cool too. Just send me an email letting me know either way. Just let me know, because I feel bad. So yeah, just let me know. Barbara J, you look so glum, cheer up. You did the best you can. You're not always going to be able to please everyone. Love you too. I know, but honestly, I really do try to please everybody. I'll send you a photo of it in better light tomorrow. Ron, just let send me an email so I can make sure I have your email address. We can take a picture of it outside in the sunlight, which will look cool. Kujo's over there lurking. I know. We're going to box the pieces that are set up. Minyana. All right, you guys. I got to walk Kujo. FYI, Erica, they're the most beautiful soul. Thank you. I am not a cancer. I'm a Sagittarius shocker. Do I send you an email about my pores? Yeah, Ron, just send me an email. Thorntonartistilldeath.com, 2T's, 2L's. Let me know either way. No worries, no worries. 2D's a cancer. That's fun. I feel like I knew that. Anyways, thank you guys for tuning in and seeing what we're up to tonight in our very real reality show. I got to walk Kujo. We'll be back tomorrow. Jeff has to do an actual painting tomorrow, but we'll be back tomorrow night. If you have any questions at all, shoot us an email. If you're doing the lupus pour, make sure to hashtag ATDRT, let us know so that we can add your piece to our contest. We will be back tomorrow and can't wait to see you all. Thank you to everybody that tuned in. Moe, every God's side. I know it. All right, B. Bye. I said bye.


They call it phase. Every aircraft must have it after 200 hours in the air, which happens quickly when running 24-hour auctions.  But not before they check every aspect of the aircraft. It's important now, so we do our job correctly and we do it as efficient as we can so that the birds can make it back into the fight. And it's the fight that makes the 12-hour shifts worth it. You actually see what happens. Back at home, you phase the birds and then the pilots, they do missions. But out here in Afghanistan, it's basically what you join the Marine Corps to do. We work pretty hard on a day-to-day basis and we actually phase the birds within two to three days, which is pretty quick given the hours that we have. This is the first combat deployment their squadron has had since 2003. From Camp Bastion, Afghanistan, I'm Sergeant Andrew Milner.


Who were the Scythians and what made up their DNA? Now the Scythians are one of my favourite ancient people who occupied the Eurasian steppe from around the 9th century BC until the 3rd century BC, in particular having a stronghold just north of the Black Sea. Known for being masters of the horse and famous for their skill in mounted warfare, they have left us numerous stunning artefacts, many of which are made from gold, as well as other cultures featuring them in their art, such as this trust and piece of art depicted in a Scythian mounted archer from the early 5th century BC. Now before I get into the ancestry component, I should mention that the Scythians are referenced the many origin stories of different peoples across the world. In Scotland for instance, the Scythians are found in origin stories of both the Scots and the Picts. But who were the Scythians and how did they relate to the various other archaeological cultures from the steppe? While a 2019 study published in Nature looked at the subject in a paper titled Ancestry and Demography and Descendants of Iron Age Nomads of the Eurasian Steppe, the authors begin by noting that there are various other connected cultures of the Scythians from the same general area and the authors in this study decide to collectively group them as the Scythians, as they write. The classical Scythians who had lived in the North Pontic region since the 7th century BC are the most famous among them due to the early reports in the histories of Herodotus, Greek and Persian historians of the 1st millennium BC, chronicle the existence of the Majerte, the Soromations and later the Summations and the Saki. Cultures possessing artefacts similar to those found in classical Scythian monuments, such as weapons, horse harnesses and a distinctive animal-style artistic tradition. Accordingly, these groups are often assigned to the Scythian culture and referred to as Scythians. For simplification, we will use Scythian in the following texts for all groups of Iron Age Steppe nomads commonly associated with the Scythian culture. The study used mitochondrial DNA from 96 individuals associated with the Scythian culture from different geographical regions and time periods and then analysed and sequenced them. Additionally, genomic data from eight of these individuals was obtained and analysed. Those analysed came from different areas across the Steppe, from the Northern Caucasus in the West to Easter in Kazakhstan. Northals note that while the Eastern and Western populations investigated here are separated by a distance of 2,000 to 3,500 kilometres, archaeological evidence indicates that they were strikingly similar regarding the lifestyle and culture. The aims of this study are to investigate the extent to which these groups are genetically related to each other and whether they have a common origin, and to elucidate their demographic history and genetic relationships to modern and living populations. Now very quickly, if you value these videos, please consider supporting my work on Patreon and you'll get exclusive benefits in return. Now on with the video. Firstly, let's look at Haplogroups. The study notes that Haplogroups found in Iron Age nomads are predominant in modern populations in both the West, in the form of HVN1, GytUKWINX, and in Eastern Eurasia, in the form of ACD, FGM, Y and Z. The study then moves on to analyse whether there was a genetic connection between Eastern and Western Scythians. Our results show that the Iron Age groups long believed to be connected through shared cultural artefacts associated with the classical Scythians of the North Pontic region also share a genetic connection. However, ABC analyses that evaluated different models for the origin of the Scythian populations provided the strongest support for a multi-regional origin, with Eastern and Western groups arising independently within their own regions. Despite separate origins in the enormous geographical separation, demographic modelling infers ongoing and substantial gene flow between Eastern and Western groups, which provides a plausible demographic mechanism to explain the general uniformity of the material culture of Scythians right across the Eurasian steppe zone. An interesting finding from the study was the presence of a East Asian component in the ancestry of the Scythians. Our genomic analyses reveal that Western and Eastern steppe inhabitants possess East Eurasian ancestry to varying degrees. In our admixture analyses we find an East Asian ancestry component at K15 and all Iron Age samples that are not being detected in preceding Bronze Age populations and either Western or Eastern parts of the Eurasian steppe. Another ancestral component that is maximised in the North Siberian and Ganassani population becomes visible from the 2nd millennium BC onwards in the Eastern steppe. This component appears later in all Iron Age populations but with significant higher levels in the Eastern and Steppe zone than in the West. The study then goes on to note that there was significant gene flow from Eastern and Scythians into Western and Scythians over the centuries. These findings are consistent with the appearance of East Eurasian mitochondrial lineages in the Western and Scythians during the Iron Age and imply gene flow or migration over the Eurasian steppe belt carrying East Asian North Siberian ancestry from the East to the West as far as the Don Volga region and Southern Russia. In general gene flow between Eastern and Western Eurasia seems to have been more intense during the Iron Age than in modern times which is congruent with the view of the Iron Age populations of the Eurasian steppe being highly mobile semi-nomadic horse riding groups and now for the crux of this study. All Iron Age individuals investigated in this study show genomic evidence for Caucasus hunter-gatherer and East European hunter-gatherer ancestry. This is consistent with the idea that the blend of Eastern and hunter-gatherer and Caucasian elements and carriers of the Yamnaya culture was formed on the European steppe and exported into Central Asia and Siberia. Oliver and Alice's support the hypothesis that the genetic composition of the Scythians can best be described as a mixture of Yamnaya related ancestry and East Asian North Siberian elements. So there you go the genetic composition of the Scythians can best be described as a mixture of the Yamnaya related ancestry the Yamnaya people that occupied a similar region to the Western Scythians and a component of East Asian and Siberian ancestry North Siberian ancestry. Now I've made a few videos on the Yamnaya people before that I suggest you watch them after this video if you haven't seen them already and I'll link them videos above and also in the description below. But here is a general overview of the Yamnaya people just so we have a general understanding. The Yamnaya culture which is also known as the Pitgrave culture existed from around 3300 BC to around 2600 BC in the Pontic Caspian steppe. It was discovered in the early 1900s near the Donets River by a Russian archaeologist erring the name Yamnaya because of the way they buried their dead. In fact Yamnaya is a Russian term that means related to pits. They buried their dead in kurgans a type of tummulus meaning a mound of earth and stones raised over a grave. The dead were often accompanied by animal offerings with the bodies placed facing up with bent knees and covered in ochre. A type of natural clay earth pigment. Status play the role in burials with some of the individuals buried with complete wooden wagons. Now what about the genetic legacy of the Scythians? Well the study found modern and human populations with a close genetic relationship to the Scythian groups are predominantly located in close geographical proximity to the sample burial sites, suggesting a degree of population continuity through historical times. Contemporary descendants of Western and Scythian groups are found among the various groups and the Caucasus in Central Asia. While similarities to Eastern and Scythian are found to be more widespread but almost exclusively among Turkic language speaking formerly nomadic groups, particularly from the Kipchak branch of Turkic languages. So bottom line the Scythians can be modelled as a mixture of Yamnaya related ancestry and a East Asian North Siberian component and the genetic legacy stuff extends today in many of the areas associated with their ancient territory.

Ghulam Ahmad Bhatt is an ordinary man, but life has been good to him. His prayers this morning had a special intensity. It is autumn and he has just finished gathering another plentiful harvest. Equal access to agriculture has made life so comfortable in villages like this in the beautiful valley of Kashmir that it surprises many visitors. Kashmir is one of the most beautiful places in the world and its charm has drawn me back time and again since I was a little girl. Many of the films I've acted in were actually shot in Kashmir but I was never aware of the socio-economic transformation that is taking place in Kashmir's villages. Ghulam Ahmad and his wife are telling Shabana Azmi that all this prosperity and comfort is new. When we were born in Kashmir, we were born in Gulbata. We were born in the year of the seven children. The last year, the people came to us in the same way. The people were looking for a solution. This is what I have heard from the people of Kashmir. A lot of infrastructure was built in the early years after independence, particularly for power and irrigation. Development projects, such as roads and bridges, remain a common sight in Khrmir, not only in the cities, but also in villages like Salora. As horizons have expanded fast over the past two generations, all this infrastructure and development is not enough. Their grandparents may have been happy with the land they got through land reforms, but young Kashmiris aspire for life in the fast track of modernity. The revolution in education, in those early years after independence, focused particularly on girls. At a time when free primary education is a distant dream in many developing nations, in many developing societies, it's wonderful to see that the government of Kashmir has worked very hard to ensure free primary education for all right since the beginning of independence and I think that is one of the reasons that one is able to see this transformation.
