He knows when she's just saying certain words, he'll come here and he'll start jumping around and then if she doesn't, he'll sit and then he'll start going. He'll sigh at me. And then he'll go in there and sit by the door and go, What are you doing? I'm ready now. You'll see as soon as we start saying goodbye to everybody, he'll be like, Oh, it's time. Second time I like the arms. Arms full, noodle nose like husband's ringtone. And so when he hears his ringtone on my iPhone, he takes off in the house, tries to find a ball, and then he runs to me and drops the ball on my feet and I can't give this to dad because he knows dad's calling. Do me a favor and give this to dad for me. Yeah. Yeah. Show dad how much I fetched the ball for him. What kind of dog is he? He's a palm. He is. And his colors are so beautiful. Sometimes they're like all one color, very gold, you know. Yeah. He's a party. He's a party, waiting to happen. He is a party. He brings the party to everybody. Get some more light. What's up y'all? I'm a special guest today. Her name is Sadie and she is here to try resin. Learn some new stuff and tell you guys about her foundation. Come to me. Hi Sadie. You can see what people are asking and what you're doing all right here. So if someone has questions, we'll answer it. But your main goal is to just play and paint. Cool. So I'm going to go ahead and mix this up for you. And while I'm doing that, you can tell them about your foundation and the awareness that you want to bring to people. And then we'll get started on the artwork. Cool. Cool. Cool. So I am a childhood cancer survivor from leukemia. And during my treatment, I always wanted to help other kids with cancer. So then I started doing something called Sadie's Slade during Christmas time. So I would collect toys and do a toy drive and donate them to different hospitals in the DFW area. So that kids fighting cancer in the hospital on Christmas could have a better Christmas. That's so awesome. Thank you. And then I started my foundation, the Sadie Keller Foundation.  And I do something called milestone gifts, which is when a childhood cancer fighter reaches a milestone. I pretty much congratulate them on hitting their milestone in their treatment and get them like a really good gift that they've been wanting.  And yeah, so it's pretty much just like to make them happy and to congratulate them. That's awesome. So you're just spreading smiles to everybody. Yeah. Brilliant. So you've been cancer-free for a while now? Yeah, I'm one year off treatment now, which is really awesome. So you need a milestone present from somebody. It's time, huh? Yeah. I think that's a big milestone. So what is your foundation website? Where can they find more information on what you do? So my website is called the Sadie Caller Foundation website and .org. And you just go in there and you can donate and check out all the other things that I do and see some pictures. And you can see some of my artwork, too. And yeah. So you sell your artwork to raise money to buy gifts for people, too? Yeah. Yeah. Awesome. She just did this one the other day and we resumed it for her. And it is an amazing piece of art. It's a geode that she did with acrylics and then we resumed it for her this week. And will this be available on your website or is it like? So I'm having an art show this Saturday at Art House in Highland Village. And so a bunch of my artwork will be there. So you can come. I'll be also teaching a class, which I'm really excited about. And so you can buy some of my art, eat food and just listen to music and have a lot of fun. That's awesome. We'll try to be there. What is it? Us this Saturday. So the 16th. The 14th. The 14th. The 14th. From 6 to 9. I'm actually going to be teaching a class on this this weekend, too. I almost said the 16th this Saturday. It's not. It's the 14th. But maybe I'll bring my class up there to check out your stuff. Hopefully everybody will be down for it. Everybody loves your geode, it looks like. Leah, you're amazing. My son is three years out of treatment. Looks like everybody loves your geode, which I knew they would because it's amazing. So if they can't make it to your event, can they find your artwork online on your website? Yes. We have like a spot of all my art and you can buy some of it. Super.  Mom? Yes. All the above? Yes. Credit card. Official non-profit. So it's all passed to the actual home. Including the artwork? Yes. Perfect. But then it's going to the foundation. Awesome. I'm going to get the information from them and I'll link it in the description box below this video as soon as we're done. So in case you guys want to check out her website, her artwork, or just want to donate to her amazing cause, it will all be there. So, on to the artwork. Say you picked out her favorite colors. She likes gold, blues, and turquoises because who doesn't? These are amazing. So I hooked her up with some of these amazing colors from Just Resin and we're going to make an amazing piece of artwork that will be ready in time for your show. So you'll have another piece to put in your show. So, Resin is a two part. Do you know anything about Resin? I've watched some videos on it but I haven't actually done it before but I'm really excited. Gotcha. So Resin's a two part usually. Some of them are two to one. Some of them are one to one. Which means one part of this and one part of this. Some is two parts to one part. So since this is one to one we just did the same amount of each to make this amount. So, how much of each of these colors do you want in your piece? Like, is there one you want more colors of? I think that is amazing because gold can take over sometimes. So we'll do this one for the gold. So, let's put some gloves on because sometimes like Jeff, he'll get like a bad reaction to Resin if it gets on his skin. They call it resin rash. Now what mom, if you want to read these questions you might be able to answer for people. It's all adjustable. My.org is the website. Also if you need to you can type down here. Oh, okay, perfect. You can type anything in. Alright you guys, I can't read what's going on right now. Sadie's mom has the iPad in case you guys want to ask any questions about Sadie, the foundation, anything like that. She's there to help. So this is the paste and paste can separate. You want to make sure you mix it up a little bit and it doesn't take a lot at all to make a brilliant color. So that's enough. So this will last you forever. I've had this for two months and I've got this much left and I paint a lot. Yeah. So you can mix that in. It looks like I got something in here. A way I need to mix it so it doesn't get too many air bubbles. You can mix it. Obviously you don't want to get crazy with it, but if you do get air bubbles in it, the cool thing about resin is you can heat it with a heat gun or a torch and it'll pop all the little air bubbles, which maybe they're not up there at the door. Oh, I don't know. I don't. But the car's out front so you don't need to put her to get back. So if you do make air bubbles in, obviously there's some already from where I mixed the two parts in, but we're going to pop that with a heat gun. Also be really careful when you use a heat gun because I burnt myself. So I have this amazing resin scarf for life. I think you picked some awesome colors and it doesn't take much at all. So this is going to be real sparkly. With powder you want to mix it in a little slow so that it doesn't poof up in your face. Also mom, they can hear you if you want to talk. This mic will pick it up. This color. That's so pretty. Yeah. I'm super excited that it's going to be in your piece. How long have you been doing the acrylic for? Maybe like two or three months. That's it? Yeah. Three months? You've been painting and drawing for, but she just kind of found the pouring technique and loved it.  So a lot of them suffer from lupus or cancer or our wheelchair ridden. Like a lot of them have ailments. Yeah. And they find pouring really cathartic. It helps them with their therapy. Yeah, it is. Baby has said that multiple times, like really through her cancer journey it's really become extremely therapeutic to her. Right, baby? Yeah, like just drawing and doodling and like really like and painting has like calmed me down a lot. So tell them why you love gold so much. I love gold so much because gold is actually the childhood cancer color. And so it's like really special to me and it's one of my favorite colors. So that's why I love it so much. That's awesome. So you incorporate some gold in all of your artwork? Yeah. Perfect. It's always more awesome when there's a meaning behind what you're doing. Sometimes I paint just because I like the color and when people are like, what does it mean? What were you inspired by? And I'm like blue. Yeah. It's still not a cute answer, but I mean it is what it is. So when I work with resin some people don't do this and with this kind of artwork or any artwork really it's what you want to do with it. You know, there's no real right way. But what I do is I always put down some clear first so that your colors will like roll over the canvas a little more easily because it'll stick kind of like with acrylics. It's better if you put a little bit down first so that it moves more smoothly. So I just take some clear and just work it around this.  I'm just going to spread this out for you and then I'm going to let you take it away. You know what you're doing. Y'all, I'm going to show you pictures up for artwork. Some of them are still setting from their top coat. But I wish I could have used, I started with acrylics before I got into resin and I made a mess more often than I made artwork. So I had to, it always turned into mud, you know? Yeah. It just turned into a whole lot of nothing. So I switched to resin and it was just here for me to make things look like what I wanted it to. See the little bubbles popping? Oh yeah. So that's why we don't really worry about making too many bubbles in. They're coated. I'm going to leave this right here because you're going to be using that next. I have some clear leftover in case you want any more of any of these colors. Okay. Sorry, that thing is... No, it's perfect. Okay. You can adjust it any kind of way you like. So, now this is your piece. And you can pour it. You can do puddle pours. You can do dirty pours. You can't really do a flip-flop because there's resin on it. But it's your piece. Take it away. And I'm here if you have any questions. Okay. So like, what did you do on trying to get like that kind of... Most of my work is negative space. I like the white to be showing because it's less busy that way. So I'll usually just do thick lines of color. I would probably do all of them with just a little bit of the gold running through it. And I'll take the heat gun and move the resin around and then tilt it a little bit. And then I'll be done with my pieces. So my actual working with this was probably 20 minutes. So it doesn't take a lot. I found with my pouring restraint is key and knowing when to just be like, Okay, I could work with this a little bit more. I have time, but I need to just stop.  But there was something with it. You just wanted to work a little bit more and it has ruined the whole thing. I had that problem. So I would just run some thick lines through it. And then we'll use a heat gun and see where we're at and we'll go from there. If you need to stand up, you can. Some people can't force thing down. I can't. Jeff can. I can't. I think I'll stand up. Okay. Yeah, this table is a little bit high, isn't it? Yeah. I'll figure out my stretch. No pressure. I'm using stone coat art coat resin and this stuff has a really long working time. It's a lot like art resin, but it's not as ridiculously expensive. And I actually have a discount code for this. So if you buy half a gallon, which is 50 bucks, you can get $30 worth of pigment for free on their website, which is linked in the bottom of this video. It looks like ribbon candy from like back in the day. So with the white, do I need to put like just a little streak or? With the white, you're going to get the cells that you like with that. And the white that's in there and the white that I prep this canvas with are different. So like if you look on this, you can see the white over it. So it'll give another dimension. So you can put the white through it. You can put the white just over the white. It'll all look good. You pick colors that are brilliant. You guys, they did a seahorse that I'm really jealous of. And I'll show you guys once it's dry. Watch this. I'll pull it out of the bin in a minute, but I'm going to try to do one eventually. I'll get up the courage. So this is a heat gun. It's really neat because you can turn the heat up or down. I use it all the way up, but you can also use high setting for loads of things. The way I use a heat gun is that this attachment will flatten the airflow so you can fill air bubbles popping. So you can like push it like that. So you can get it to overlap itself. I'm not going to do it because I think you can handle it, but just so you know. And if you need to, we'll rotate the camera so you can get from the other side if you want. If that's not high enough, just let me know and we'll turn it up.  I can get you a straw actually. And that'll make these little like well outs right here. You can add all the color you like. We have left over. Do you want me to hold this while you have more color? Did anybody have any questions for Sadie? You can talk answer. You don't have to. Okay. No. Okay. Perfect. Most people just some people just pop it in and high. It's rotated around this way because when you hit, you put heat on it, it's going to melt and push it this way. And I don't want it all to run off one side. So let's even it back out. Now it'll go this way when you heat it. Let's heat this up a little bit and then you can tilt it and you can pick it up and tilt it and see. I would probably add some more white first because that's going to get some overlapping. We're going to heat it again. All right y'all. I know. You said you're doing great Sadie. Thank you. Let's put some heat on it and then we'll tilt it again. It's a little bit thicker probably than the acrylics that you're used to working with. Oh that's cool. So it works a lot the same as the acrylics do. The two things really that to me are different are that you have set working time. Some resins are only 30 minutes. This is, you could probably get an hour in with this stuff. Before it starts settling. Right. Before it'll be just, it'll turn into like the consistency of hot glue. Okay yeah. And then the other thing is you'd like to coat your acrylic pours with resin because it brings out the vibrancy and the color. Sometimes acrylic pour, it'll look really nice when it's wet and then it dries and it looks dull or cloudy. This kind of eliminates that step and it's just, the way it looks right now is how it's going to look in terms of color depth. Got it. But it's the same with acrylics in that it's going to move till it dries. Okay. So it's looking really nice. Is there anything you want to add to it like cells or, but almost want to put a little bit of gold on this side just to balance it. It does look really good. Sadie, someone wants to know, how did Sadie like meeting Trump? Saw the picture on the left side, how did that come about? You want to tell them about? Yeah. So I lobby on Capitol Hill a lot and talk to congressmen about why we need more funding for childhood cancer because I don't know if we know, but childhood cancer only gets 4% of funding for every single childhood cancer, which is not enough. So there's different acts. And the one that I was doing was the Star Act. And I wanted to get it passed so we can get better treatments and like more funding to help more kids. And so sometimes whenever the president is signing a bill of the law they have a bill signing ceremony. So we didn't know if I was going to meet him or not. But then we got a call and so then the next day I was going to meet him, which was awesome. And he was so nice and it was just incredible. And tell them about the next day what happened? Right. And then the next day Ivanka Trump was like the person who pretty much like made the bill signing happen. And she really wanted to meet me because she couldn't be at the bill signing ceremony. So then the next day I went back to the White House and I got to meet Ivanka Trump, which was really cool. And she was super nice also. I was going to say she looks really nice in person. When you heat this kind of paint and you push the top layer, see how it's like the metallic is in a different spot than the deep gold color? Yeah. That's one of the things I like about this particular gold is that you can move parts of it. I don't even know if that makes sense. I think I'm going to blow it a little bit.  For anyone who's interested in following kind of Sadie's journey, she has a Facebook page just under the Sadie Keller Foundation. So anyone can go and follow all her childhood cancer endeavors. Could you send me a message with all of the stuff and all of the links? I'll put it in the description box so it's easier for everybody to find.  No. No? I've gotten resin in my mouth from using a straw and it is not a good time. That's the taste that will stay with you. That looks really fun. I like how it fades out right there. I also have a lot of glitter. I don't know if you're into glitter. I am into glitter. It's pretty bold. I have glass glitter. Sadie, your technique is great. Someone said they love your jewelry, Cheetah. Oh yeah. I love all her jewelry. So this glitter is, do you want to do some blowing on this? Any other side or are you good with it? I like it. I like that it fades out on this side but there's still something unique about this side as well. I think that looks really good. So this glitter is a glass glitter. It's made for cars. So it's extra super sparkly. Do you want to mix it into a resin or do you want to just sprinkle it where you want to on there? I think I just want to sprinkle it on there a little bit. Just like maybe right here. This has a little part in it so you can kind of dictate where it comes out. I'm going to let you control it. One time you had to rock it back and forth. One time you had to come back out. It's a little bit of a bottle too. Sometimes it helps. That is really pretty. Could I maybe blow the glitter? You can. Let me heat it up because with Stone Coat it kind of, the cool thing about it is after it cools off a little bit, it kind of diffends to where it is but when you heat it, then it can move. So that means you can move just one part of it if you want to. You just only heat it on that part. So you want to blow this part? That rotated around so you don't have a hard time getting to it. I think one of these colors is a little bit transparent. If you wanted to add color over some of the resin, I lied. It's not transparent. I have some of this clear just to make sure it's stuck in there. Sometimes when you blow it, it'll leave a bare spot. Are you going to, I don't know, I was going to make a little bit of a point kind of like this part if you are happy with this because I think it looks really good. That way it looks like they're kind of fading towards each other in my head. So what else do you want to work on with it? I have a little bit of this left if you want to add another color. I think these colors are great. I like it. I do too. But I just want to give you the option that glitters super sparkly. And that metallic is really good too. So this is what Sadie did today. And it is gorgeous. I haven't used glitter like this in a long time. And now I'm re-inspired to do that. I think you guys have nail polish before me. So this is a bun pan rack that one of my amazing subscribers sent to me. It's for like a bakery for like, buns. I want to show them you're awesome. The handle that you have, just pull it down. It should adjust up.  I think you should do this on like a bigger, like that side. Yeah, that would be cool. Like, you know how to work on that phone to like zoom in. Looks like you're setting up a really nice dude. I don't see any kids at all. I lied. There's one right there. So this is what I'm talking about by pitting. See where it looks dry right there? Oh, yeah. But since it's been sitting for not that long, we can just add a little bit there and patch it. I love in the seahorse thing. She's probably going to do a little bit more playing with resin. Yeah. So you have a little bit of resin left over. Let me see if I have a smaller canvas in here. We'll do another point of play. I usually use gallery rock. They hold up better to the weight of the resin. And a lot of people will use these. They're called skins. They'll just peel off of this. They'll make jewelry with it. Oh, that's cool. I'm actually working on like under the ocean piece about this size that I'm going to use these for coral reef type things. It's still project in my head. I haven't gotten it completely together yet, but that's the idea. Sadie, our family went to Australia for her make-a-wish trip. And did you get inspired by all the under the ocean stuff? Yeah. Were you a mermaid that day? Yeah, pretty much. Out in the middle of the ocean, yeah. Actually, we'll be going to Australia at the end of September, beginning of October. Yeah, you resin and a paint brand called Color Obsession are asked Jeff and I to come out and teach a class. Cool. So we will be traveling. Where are you going? Perth. Those sound like amazing places on the other side of the country. So you have this much space to work with. It's all ready to go. I'm really bad about when I have leftover resin and I pull another canvas out. I'm like, let's put it all. Hopefully maybe. And then it never turns out right. But it's yours to do what you want with it. I have an amazing piece. So if there's something you want to experiment with, this is where in my world that happens. I was just about to say I would paint a wall that color, I think. Yeah. That is turquoise and it's by Color Obsession. So. No, just resin. My apologies. Cryptic Arts, is that the type of painting Sadie's else? So yes, she sells a lot of force because she's good with giving the original or letting the originals go. Then she sells print, some of her prints of her artwork that inspired her through treatment. So they're more like treatment type of her during treatment. And all of those are, there's a link on the website to get to those. And we'll be updating. She's got an art show fundraiser this Saturday in Highland Village, Texas at Art House. And so we will update her artwork on her website. That's so exciting. Is this your first show? I did a lot of art shows last year, but that was not for, it was just my like cancer art of like me in the hospital and just like. Ready? Yep. I'm going to kick it up for you. Don't be scared. Super cool. Oh, it's real liquidy if you were in a tilting mood. So much gold flex in it. Yeah. And that's so pretty. That's really pretty too where the white's breaking. Yeah. And you can see the teal under it. And you're getting that over here in the gold too. Looks really good. I don't have any more canvases this size. You're using your resin very well. We always check to make sure there's no bubbles or hairs in it. If there were, we would just take tweezers and pull them out. But, so now you have resin left over. What we usually do is make posters. Those are your press paper kind of? You would think that they would warp, but they don't. I thought they would, but I got them just to see. And they survived. The heat, they survived. The resin. I find that metallic paste are really versatile, even if they're opaque. One person, or a couple of people actually said they need to wipe off your sticky gloves. Yeah. Here you go, ma'am. And then, I think you said you were going to post, a couple of people are asking for the links and stuff you're going to post them at. Yeah. I'm going to post it in the description box. As soon as this video is over, I'll post it down in the description box. I'm really going to like what that white will do. You don't need much. It'll still make a statement. So, since we didn't put any clear down, I'm going to just make sure that all of the raw parts are covered. Natural with your arm in the mix. Thank you. So, now we have this areas covered. Get and tilt it, and it'll settle into a whole bunch of interesting stuff. My subscribers love posters. We have a coaster sale once a month, because I have so much leftover resin that we do a lot of posters. And it's $5 a piece. I'll number them all and put them all out. I do a lot of coasters for when we do craft shows and things like that. Because I find a lot of times people just want to leave with something. Is it ready? Yep. I don't want to burn it, so I'm just going to hold it. You can still tilt it if you need it. Are we going to add any glitter to that last one? Bless you. Thank you. Oh, yeah. But we can't. There's still time. I have dropped that in the last four videos. I'm just going to have to find another place for it to live. Do you want to add glitter to these or are you good? I think I'm good. I like them. I like them too. So, we're going to tape them and put them on this wax paper. Because those trays didn't come lined, so wax paper is fine, it'll still peel off. And then we'll fold this guy back out. I also have those other glitters. If you like that sparkly mica-flake one, just as an option. Don't have to do it. I like it too. Very even. Super. When in doubt, add glitter always, I think. I'm pretty sure that's how it's going to go. So, what did you think about resin? Super fun and it's really cool. Super fun and really cool. It's good. We have some white and gold left. Let's just fill one of these guys up. Which is your favorite? I like the bows. I like the bows too. We're going to have to put both in there. We're going to swirl it around. We're going to make some really interesting stuff happen. Then, I usually make them into magnet or keychain. Are you driving it? Do you need a keychain? No. Not yet. Tomorrow. For your backpack. Yeah. I don't know you had any left in there. Now it'll look like a tie-dyed bow tie. Jeff and I made these sticks because we were so done with wasting popsicle sticks. So, they're reusable. That's a good idea. Yeah, we go through a lot of popsicles. Let's wipe off. Ready to use it again. So, now that you have your first resin pour out of the way, are you ready to do another one sometime soon? Are you going to come to me so we can do another one? Yes, definitely. We'll work on larger ones and we can do like a multi-layered one, like geodes. I'd be really cool. I'd be super into it. As long as you'd be super into it. I love geodes. All right, you guys, thanks for tuning in. I'll link everything in the description box below the video. If you want to know more about Sadie's foundation, you got it? Yep. Tricky. So, I'll also link her foundation on my website, ArtistfulDeth.com. I will see all of you guys later tonight. And...


At a dinner party, after Hannibal had lost to Scipio Africanus, years later, Scipio asked Hannibal, who do you think the greatest general was ever? And Hannibal says, of course, Alexander the Great. And Scipio says, well, who's the second? And Hannibal says, Pyrrhus of Epirus, you've probably never heard of him, but very good general. We'll probably get to him at some point. And Scipio, fishing, obviously, says, well, who would you say the third is? And Hannibal says himself, now, you might ask, that's pretty arrogant, name yourself the third greatest general of all time, that's pretty arrogant, right? But the question you should be asking is, did Hannibal sell himself short? Hello everyone, Dylan Schumacher, Citadel Defense, and we are back with another edition of Toodalidge in Blood, where we study battles, campaigns, armies, whatever from the past to learn modern lessons. If you haven't seen the introduction to this series, I would highly recommend you go back and see that, so you're kind of set up and you understand what it is that we're doing here. If you don't care about that kind of thing, well, let's jump right in. As always, I will put a link to a full or historical video in the description because we don't get to cover all the cool historical details here. We just care about the battles and the lessons. Today's battle is the Battle of Kanai, Kanai, Kanee, I don't know. I've heard a bunch of different pronunciations. I'm probably going to say Kanai. I might do a couple different pronunciations, whatever, just bear with me. This happened on the 2nd of August, 216 BC, a year after the Battle of Lake Trezzamine, which we covered earlier in this series. Hannibal comes into this battle with about 50,000 guys, give or take, I think about 10,000 of those were cavalry. And then Rome comes into this conflict or this battle with about 86,000 guys. So substantial number difference there. So at the beginning of this battle, Rome's strategy here is that they are going to overload their center. They're going to punch through the center of whatever Hannibal puts out, and they're going to divide and conquer. They're going to punch through the center, then they'll encircle one flank and encircle the other flank, and thereby win the battle. They're going to use their superior heavy infantry to punch through the center. Kind of like at Lake Trezzamine when some guys were able to escape by again fighting through Hannibal's blocking force. Hannibal sets up a little bit different. Now you've got to remember, it's important to remember in this whole battle, Hannibal has about 50,000 guys. He has about 30,000 to 36,000 less guys than the Romans. So he stacks his flanks. He puts his elite African infantry on the side of his flanks, and then he puts his Golic and Spanish allies in the middle. And again when he puts them out in this crescent moon shape, and he's thinning his line by doing that, right? He's not having as many guys there. Now if you're the Romans and you're looking across the field and your plan is to punch through the center, and you see the weakest troops, and not only the weakest, but a very thin line of troops in the center, you think this is your day. You think you've got it made because this plays directly into your hand of how you wanted this battle to go. Hannibal also places himself in the center that's represented by that little star there. So that's Hannibal in the center of the battle with the Spanish and Golic allies because his entire plan hinges on this center part, holding the way it needs to hold. Puts his cavalry in the flanks. Rome puts their cavalry on the flank because Rome's basic job for their cavalry is to not let their infantry get out flanked. Rome never brings enough cavalry, you know, Carthage has more cavalry here, and they pay for it every once in a while. So at the start of the battle, the cavalry on the left flank for Carthage, on the right for Rome, charges out and basically blows the Roman cavalry right off the field. They just get overwhelmed and whatever, so they chase them off as they're routing the Carthaginian cavalry pursue. Meanwhile, the Roman center and the infantry just ignores that because that's what Romans do and they continue to come on in through the middle. As they make contact here with this kind of crescent moon shape, it begins to bend. So they're out there in a crescent moon and they start to give and eventually they end up in this concave kind of formation. The flanks don't give just the center. So now you have the center bulging out and if you're the Romans, again of course you think this is going according to plan. So they continue to just funnel guys into this little cup. So eventually they're lined up here, they're kind of stuck on the flanks a little bit, but who cares because they're just sending guys to pour in on the center. Meanwhile, this Carthaginian cavalry that chased the Romans off comes back. The Roman cavalry sees that they're about to be sandwiched between two groups of cavalry, so they leave the field. They retreat and say, forget it. So with the Roman cavalry completely off the field and the Romans now piling into the center of this thing, the Carthaginian cavalry closes the trap. Eventually the battle looks like this. The Carthaginians have built this cup, they've held firm on their flanks. The Romans are piled inside here. So the Romans are piling in here in this cup. Well like I said, the cavalry comes back and they close the trap because the Romans are hung up on the flanks a little bit here. These guys flank out to box them in and then the cavalry comes in and they close the trap. Now if you're not impressed by that, you should be. 50,000 guys were able to sucker in 80,000 guys and completely encircle them. We're going to talk about that more in a minute. So from here, the killing takes place the rest of the day and the Carthaginians systematically kill everybody they can inside the circle. At the end of the day, for the casualty numbers, you have Romans losing about 50,000 guys killed, dead. In addition to that, I think there's another 19 or 20,000 that are captured. The Carthaginians, on the other hand, lose about 5,000 guys total. Just looking at those numbers, you can see how this battle goes. If you think about it, Rome loses about as many guys in a single day as America lost during the entire Vietnam War. American killed in action are roughly around 58,000. It's kind of the typical number that I've heard, 58,000, 57,000 for the entire Vietnam War. Rome loses 50,000 guys in a day. Remember, this is with swords and shields and spears and arrows and rocks. Imagine the slaughter over the course of a day as they're surrounded and slowly, slowly pressed tighter and tighter. It got so tight that people couldn't raise their shields. If you've ever been in a mosh pit or really compact crowd, you have an idea of how this works, right? But you get so compressed and so tight that even if you were to pick your legs up, you couldn't fall over because there's nowhere to fall. That is the kind of chaos and mayhem that you have in the center of this circle of death.  Those things are coming in like it's horrible. Of horrible ways to go, this is really bad. So let's learn some lessons. Okay, I have some lessons here so let's go through them. The first one is surprise and deception. This is a common lesson that we've learned a lot in this series. But being able to surprise and deceive your enemy is a huge, huge tactical advantage that cannot be overstated really. And this is a great example where Hannibal was able to deceive, confuse and surprise his opponent because he came out in that crescent formation shape and the Romans thought, aha, now we have him. And he was able then to deceive them into pushing his lines back so he let them work themselves into the trap. He was able to deceive them and surprise them because they thought they were winning when they were really losing. It's an incredible lesson and again, it really can't be overstated how incredibly brilliant this battle turns out to be. The second lesson you can learn is luck. Sometimes it just pays to be lucky. And I don't know if it was intentional on Hannibal's part or not and I'm sure there's lots of debate about it but I'm just going to chuck this one on up to luck that the Roman plan was to drive through his center and his plan happened, Hannibal's plan perfectly coincided with how to accept, surround and envelop that plan. Sometimes you just get a little bit lucky and it doesn't hurt. The third lesson is lead from the front. This is an important lesson that both the Romans and Hannibal exemplifies. Again, Hannibal puts himself in the thick of the fighting. He puts himself right where the action is going to be, right where everything hinges on. Again, we've talked about this before but you want to lead from the front.  That instills confidence from people that are about to fight and possibly die with you and furthermore when you're up there and you're leading from the front you're able to make real time battle decisions that you can only make when you're in the front and in the thick of it. So leading from the front is a lesson that we have been learning in combat for literally thousands of years. One other thing I will say about the leading from the front is that when you look at the casualty lists Rome really leads from the front here too. Rome loses both consuls which are basically their equivalents of presidents or kind of mini dictators. They lose 80 senators. They lose 29 out of their 48 military tribunes. They lose two questers which are, it's an elected office, it's an important office. And they lose 300 equestrians which are kind of the upper crust, upper class. That's leading from the front.  But when you look at that casualty list, who are the people that are out in these armies leading these armies for victory or defeat? Who are they? They're the politicians.  Imagine if when we got into combat you had elected officials who were shooting and making combat decisions and actually in the blood and in the field. Imagine what kind of a country it would be where our political leaders who would they vote to go to war, they're voting to go home and load their magazines because they're going too. Imagine that kind of society and that's the kind of society the Romans were. To their credit, again they look really bad here because they get totally crushed. But to their credit, when Rome went to war, the rich went to war too. They didn't necessarily just stay home and collect paychecks unlike how people wouldn't necessarily think of war today. No, the rich went to war. They funded it, they generaled it, they put on their armor and grabbed their swords and they went and if they lost, they died because that's the kind of leadership from the front that Rome embodied. And there's something very admirable about that. There's something about that that I very much respect and desire and wish that we had a society like that today. This of course isn't to say that Rome didn't have corruption, all kinds of other problems because of course they did. I'm just saying that a society that sends its leaders and politicians into the literal actual blood and guts fighting is a society that makes war a serious business. The fourth lesson here is waves and reserve. Had Rome gone into this battle in waves or held a reserve, they might not have been completely surrounded and destroyed. But they didn't. If you ever wonder, hey, why do we send guys in in waves? Why don't we all just go at once and try to overwhelm them? Wouldn't that be a better massing of combat power? This is one of the reasons why we don't do that because if you walk into a trap like that and you commit everything you have and then you're surrounded, well, there's nothing else to do now. So this exemplifies the importance of going in in waves and holding a tactical reserve and only committing as much combat power as is necessary to accomplish the task. Because if you overcommit resources, then they are more easily destroyed, surrounded, or you can walk into a trap and lose more than you would otherwise need to. So this is why we don't try to commit everything we have if we don't have to. This would have been a perfect example where Rome came in with considerable more combat power than Carthage.  And again, can't be overstated how much of a disaster this was for Rome. They potentially lost up to 20% of their male population in this battle. For comparison, Germany during World War I lost about 6% of their population. And I mean Germany after World War I was completely emaciated, like just there was nothing left. But Rome lost potentially 20% of their adult male population in this battle. It's absolutely crushing. Mobility, specifically here with the cavalry. This is something that Hannibal will do again and again and again in his battles is he maintains a more mobile unit, namely his cavalry, so that he is able to flank and strike in a quicker fashion than the Romans. And because of that, they keep losing. The Romans keep losing and he keeps winning. That is really one of the key parts of his continued victories. And once you get to the Battle of Zama, where Zama, how do you pronounce that, where he fights Scipio Africanus, Hannibal doesn't have the same cavalry at that point that Scipio does. And that's part of the reason that he ends up losing. Being able to be more mobile than your opponent, being able to move faster, speed is what we call that, right? That's always a big tactical advantage. And you want to maintain that while crippling their ability to be mobile. Whatever number we're on now, I lost track. Formations matter. So if you've ever wondered, you know, why do we walk in this formation or, you know, why do we have to do the wedge or like, what is this stuff really matter? Well, here's an example where formation matters. And we've seen this before in other battles. But because he was able to deceive them by initially setting up in that crescent and then slowly bend it back while holding the sides, because he used that formation in that tactic, it was able to contribute to the deceit of deceiving your enemy, and it was able to contribute to the surprise because the center was folding. And that wouldn't have worked if he would have just set up in a straight line. That would not have worked as well. But because he set up in a crescent and he was able to slowly sucker them in, that was more effective than if he would have just set up in a straight line and then tried to bend. He wouldn't have had that same rushing in effect from the Romans that he's able to accomplish because he had this formation. Double envelopment. This is the classic historical example of a double envelopment when able to surround your opponent from two sides. And again, he made the Romans do that themselves because he filled into this crescent, he was able to have that double envelopment from both sides. It is the creme de creme of military tactics and strategy if you can accomplish a double envelopment. And here is the original double envelopment from Hannibal himself. This battle is studied in every military college, probably across the world. And there's a reason for that. Whenever you think double envelopment and being able to flank your opponent from both sides at the same time, you need to think about the battle of Cannae. And you need to understand this is one of the ultimate military achievements that you could accomplish in your life if you're able to pull off a double envelopment because it leaves the opponent with nothing left to do. The double envelopment is of course further impressive because, like we mentioned, Hannibal had less guys. If Hannibal had, you know, 500,000 guys against Rome's 80,000, and he just lined up guys and was able to outflank the Romans and double envelop, well, I mean, that'd be cool and all, but of course it's not nearly as impressive as when you're able to deceive the enemy into double enveloping themselves and then so using a smaller force to surround a larger force. Again, the brilliance can't be overstated. The second to last lesson, press the advantage. Hannibal is ragged on by Monday morning quarterbacks and historians forever since because Hannibal had just crushed the Romans again. This was the second or third time he had completely destroyed their army and instead of marching on Rome because there was no army between him and Rome, he didn't. We don't need to get too far into the historical weeds here, which need to understand from a larger strategy point, Hannibal could have won the war here. He could have marched on Rome and that would have been it. However, he didn't, he had this whole strategy about disconnecting the city of Rome from its Italian allies and whatever, we're not going to go into it. The point is, he did not press his advantage when he could. In fact, he laid back and waited for victory to come to him rather than reaching out and taking it, which he could have done and he could have won the entire war. We now come to our last lesson, don't quit. Rome lost potentially 20% of their adult male population in this battle and Rome lost 20%. And this is the third time their army has been completely and utterly destroyed in the field against Hannibal. Any other state in the history of mankind folds, like it's over. We surrender, let's do some peace terms, it's done. Rome should have been wiped off the map and history should have been forever different. But Rome doesn't know how to quit. Unless you sign a treaty where you acknowledge that Rome is the superior and you are the inferior, Rome doesn't sign the treaty. And this is a great example. The Republic should have been over, but Rome didn't quit.  But the real point here that we wanna talk about is Rome didn't quit. Rome eventually goes on to win this war. This is the Second Punic War. And after Rome defeats Carthage, they're the big dog in the Mediterranean and they go on to rule and become the Rome that we all know for the next, I don't know, five, 600 years, something like that. Because Rome doesn't quit. Even when there's nothing left to fight with because God knows how you keep going on, Rome keeps going on. And again, there's a lesson to learn there of grit and determination and refusal to surrender when you're absolutely beat. I hope that you have found all of this very helpful. Like the Romans, I would encourage you to do brave deeds and endure.


Here at the Friends of Caritas Fundraiser, it's an art auction that's held once a year to raise money for a charity that I'm very close to that supports people and organizations in Cuba. We do deals for seniors, we put groups on homes that have been lost in hurricanes, we help children with disabilities, recently brought a young man with a rare form of cancer to Miami so he could get treatment, so we raise a lot of money and it's a group of people that I love, it's the out and proud Cuban American community in the Boston area, and I'm also here to read from my play. I feel like I bring the Huntington out into the community in a way that's very present, really generating a lot of interest in the play as well, people are really excited to see this new piece. So interestingly enough I've run into a bunch of subscribers here already, I ran into a board member just now, so the Huntington family already has a presence, but I'm so proud to be here knowing that my play will be up and running and knowing that I'm a Mellon fellow, I'm a real artist. I find my work goes in cycles and so as a Cuban American I write very, very deeply felt plays about Cuba and the relationship between Cuba and America, but then I'll bounce back and I'll do something that's very purely American that's true to my suburban Massachusetts roots, so like something like Gary which is a rock opera about kids in high school who just can't get out of Gary. And so right now I'm very much in that becoming Cuban world, I've traveled to Cuba a few years ago while doing research, I'm going to go back this fall with Caritas, you know when you're a writer you're a sponge, so it's very present in my world right now. And once the show, once that final draft is done and we're in production I'm going to move on to the next thing and that may involve Cuba and may not, I'm not 100% sure what world that is, but you know I have a satellite of interest and so I'll always be that representation of Cuban America for this community because of several of the plays I've written, but I think I also have the opportunity to reach a wide audience as well. I don't feel like, when I say wide audience I don't know what I need because I feel like my work reaches a wide audience, whatever it is it just has to do with where my focus is, I guess that's what I mean. And the time with the residency and the support from the theater gives me a chance to really actually explore those things.


I've got some fun stuff to show you this week We have a new tool that we're releasing called penguin and It's part of my as you may know, I've been doing a lot of board redesigns parts are out of stock packages of different whatever so for me as I've been Redoing a lot of boards. I also had this like kind of urge to like maybe clean up some of the silk screens as well And some of you know that we have some boards with really nice silk screens and some that have kind of like plain silk screens Let's go to the overhead okay, so You know we have You know our plane breakouts which tend to have This kind of you know, vectory font. This is the default vector font from Eagle CAD You know, it's a very legible font.  It's got a little bit of a golden highlight here going on here, but the text here and here and here is all Very nicely rendered and the way we do this is I Finished the board design You know, you get all the parts the right location and I use the this generic font and then what I do is I go to Phil B paint your dragon and I apply him with Arizona iced tea and pizza No, it's getting I you know, he works for us and he does amazing silk screens He spends a few days and he like comes back with a gorgeous silk screen That's how you got like the macro pad or the monster mask that these amazing beautiful pieces of art And I still want to do that You know when we have a really amazing product like the macro pad or the monster mask the circuit playground Yes, we'll spend a few days and do all the custom silk screens thing is though I designed a breakout every single week and I don't want to have Phil B. Just churn out these very basic silk screens that don't need You know graphics treatment. They just I just want to have slightly nicer text And what's funny is like, you know as I was kind of like you know pitching this project to Phil B And I was like well You know, I really want something that's not just the playing vectors to vector fonts of the classic and the new vector font And I wanted to go with it You know nice proportional font maybe and he's like well, there's a proportional font in vector. Yeah, sorry There's a proportional font in eco-cat. Why don't you just use that and I'm like it's a lie You know anyone who's actually tried to use it Knows if you use the proportional font when you render out the Eat the Gerber file from Eagle cat it gets converted into a vector font The portion of font is not actually rastered out It's also that kind of like a hell that I could knock off and we kind of were like What if we wanted to use different fonts and So I saw me, you know, call you a week or two ago.   It's It gets converted, you know, it the Gerber files are exported to I think DXS important until like it, you know illustrator or some other vector editor Philby does the silk screen and then gets exported back from SVG into BMP It's basically unedible. Like this is like one object in Eagle cat. It's like one bitmap object And again, it's awesome when we do like a complicated board But not awesome when it's just a little break out or if I have to like move the Labels around like you can't do that. I'd have to go and edit the SVG and then re-export the whole thing so the tool that Philby finally came up with and I finally got to test out yesterday we went back and forth and Neaten it up. It's called Penguin Because it's kind of a related to It's inspired by the buzzer tool that spark fun uses for their labels But we want to do something that was like in situ. It doesn't create libraries. It actually changes the board file itself. So let's go It's a computer So this is the guy which I just published so check it out and It's a Python script and basically what it does is it opens up, you know, you point it at the board file It reads the XML finds text and then replaces it with the font of your choosing. So You know in this case You know, you can see the original font was like the vector font and then on the other side, you know I picked my favorite which was future a medium or future a heavy Or or bold. I like future. I think it's very visible. It's kind of like my favorite fonts But what's nice is that, you know, when you do this So this is the original and you can see, you know, this is the the vector font Once it's converted second to here and There's this a jaggy-ness, but like ignore that's eagle cats rendering it. It's not actually jaggy It's like the eagle cat. It doesn't it gets a little bit weirded out when you import like 1200 DPI bitmaps, but each one is it's a unique little object that you can move around And so, you know, as I do the font conversion if I want to move labels around You're like, oh, I want to move the sda around if I swap two pens or like the interrupt You know left or right or if I'm looking at the back silkscreen Which looks like this, you know, and I'm like, oh, I want to avoid the The vias or something, you know, I can kind of shift it around To to make sure that the text doesn't get, you know, there's no vias that punch through But it's really nice, you know, like even though the little, you know, LED label text gets converted so you can find it on Get hub and it's called Penguin So that has information and basically there's like, you know, you can do different scaling different DPI and I thought I would show it Live so hold on let me Let me quit everything else. Oh, yeah, the font jokes are about to arrive Just like jokes if you have a good version to certain fonts like okay, put the kids in the other room Yeah, this is gonna get gross. Okay, so you got like the ink display, right?  Yeah, we did it. This is what the people want.  That's right This is beautiful. This is cinema. Okay, so then I don't say this We also downloaded The blade on our font Yeah, and this looks really cool too actually So, yeah, if you find this board in the desert flipped over, what do you do? Yeah, so it's kind of nice so you could you know, do you could do it's almost like quite a nice visible font It's also almost Star Trek next generation. Yeah, very similar very like futuristic and Then you want to meet it to Oops, this is papyrus and then We also had speaking of next generation. Yeah, all right We get the Klingon fonts. Yeah, you got Klingon for it's for your for your Klingon electronics. So Carplock So this is really cool and I've already started to redo a bunch of boards with my favorite font but I think this is gonna be really really useful because You can do any font you can like dynamically change it You know, you can it you know makes a new board So I've actually had to you know, especially because you know fonts don't have the same spacing and so you might want To tweak it. But what's cool is The code that Phil B wrote actually tries to it picks the font size that will Most closely match the size of the text that you had so you don't you know You'll notice like this is bigger than this and then this is it's small So you see it actually tries to do a pretty good job of being like, okay Well, how how big is that text box it calculates the text box size and then finds the font that kind of fits best in it so I think this is really neat. I've already ordered some boards and like so far the Gerber renders look Really good and you know, of course the text also in the right location as well. So People should try this out. Like I said the guide is on learn You just you just run the Python code on your On your file pick the fonts you want and and like poof I do a little bit of cleanup just to make the labels all centered and everything All right, and then what I'm gonna do is I'm just going to say a couple things So maybe I can send a time-coded link later. Yeah So there is people online mostly Twitter that will try to gate keep you and move your goalposts about which design tool You use if you're making open-source hardware, it doesn't matter keycads great Eagle Cads great Just publish your files and whatever use them in for the people who pretend that They're better than you or you have to use a certain tool Don't listen to them because they just want you to feel bad and not share your stuff because they have their own issues They have to deal with So we know when we release this someone's gonna say what about keycat or they're gonna say how come lady? It uses windows or how come the elevator that she takes To a to fruit when she gets there has closed-source firmware. We've actually got emails about this Yeah, so don't worry about that stuff The good news publish your files. That's that's the requirement for open-source hardware and it's open-source this thing that we just did So other people can watch with a computer. We can show them the license you can help out Would you like to port this to kikad or kikad or idea? Yeah, Altium. You could go to town That's the whole point and what happens is and I it's not the a to fruit community. It's kind of I hate to say it everybody else It's very easy to separate one another. We're not separate. We're doing stuff together But when you hear someone say something ask yourself are they trying to make it us and versus them Are they trying to separate one another? So it doesn't bother us that you know, this is the way it is now But it does bother a lot of other people so come together Sweet we've got two stars already already got two stars. So Um Check it out. This is great. This is like gonna totally change all I mean like I'm going to redo all of our boards It's gonna make all of all of our designs look so much better Some people use emacs. It's okay. I use XC max see and that's the point and I think especially as we Barrel into the future. I think we can all do a really good job of Telling people to come on in it's okay Come in with whatever you're doing the whole point is sharing There's also like a Star Wars font too.  Yeah, I do think that just basically just does a text the papyrus would just to burn this into all of Our heads and then we'll go to the well I've got the I've got the um which one you got the cling on but I can redo the papyrus. Okay. Yeah It's fun to show it live. It's so easy it cranks out a new thing and then yeah And then you just you know say once you're once you're good once you know, it's good. You just save it as yeah Look at that look terrifying art so So anyways, I just wanted to mention that because I'll probably have to you know deal with someone snarkin on on Us or someone else and just have to like hey If you use Windows, it's okay if you use the Mac, it's okay if you use Linux, okay If you use papyrus key cat, it's okay if you use don't get keep if you pronounce it solder Versus solder it's okay. It is okay. It's okay. Don't fall for the trap of separating all of us It's a trap Okay, so any question for we move on to folks like this. Of course they do everyone loves papyrus Yeah, it's number one font Okay, so do you want to do picked it? Do you want to do a great search? Yeah? The great search brought to you by did you key data for it? Thank you did you key lady it is user powers of engineering every single week to show you how to find things on digikey.com Lady to what are you trying to find this week? Okay? So I had to like pull it up because I was like what part am I looking for what do you work? Okay, you know how like last week I was saying how like well You know the silicon shortage is like not so bad anymore. I'm able to get some parts Like remember when I couldn't get like transistors and diodes well my favorite diode was unavailable this week And it's got like a 73 week lead time. And so I thought I would show How I found an alternative and there was again It's like it's a little bit sneaky because the first thing I did was the wrong thing So let me find the the part Better than the last thing you did with the wrong thing better to get better to get that out of the way That's true like I think okay, all right, so let's go to the computer. I'll show off this my favorite diode. So I really like using the nbr 120 for my Shot key diodes. I use it a lot of times in power supplies, you know if you have USB power battery power you have O-ring diodes and then whichever one is higher Automatically switches over Chucky guys are just like they're great for so many things, you know that they're used for switching regulators They're using power supply. Sometimes I use them when I just I need like a you know one directional switch You know for like a button, you know use them on my RP 2040 boards and not that NBR 120 maybe a smaller one, but still love this love this diode None stock none in stock we do have some but we're gonna run out really soon. And so Seeing that there wasn't any available and that the manufacturer lead time is is a stunning 73 weeks There you go a stunning 73 weeks I mean like that's now we're talking like 2024 to get this diode And I was a little bit like scared because I use this in so many designs again like boost converters buck converters You know almost every feather uses it as part of the power regulator system, so The thing about this is When there was a little sneaky is you know, I was like, you know, it's not he doesn't shock you died. No, not really there's actually It's sometimes the simpler the part the tougher it is to find an alternative spec because It's deceptive. I found that diodes are very deceptive people are like, oh I mean, yes, if it's a one and four and you know 4148 you're pretty much good to go But once you get into these like power diodes or shocky diodes, there's there's specifications that you really You may care about so the thing I particularly and another thing is I expect this part like a decade ago, right? Like I've used this one part in so many boards But when I first picked it as part of like my power supply, you know family You know, I kind of I didn't make a note of what it was that I liked about it The party was also figuring out what what was it about this diet that I really liked but the thing that then I realized first off You know 20 volts So it can be used for almost all you know 12 volt, you know boost supplies or you know buck converters USB basically your 20 volt is one of the lowest voltages you can get One amp why they pick one amp well because almost everything that we make is USB power And use be pretty much only gives you about an amp of current So I don't really need to go above that for constant current usage The thing that was really nice about this is the ultra ultra low forward voltage. So 340 millivolts forward voltage at one amp, which is which is very low again most non-shocky diodes your foreign 4001 etc. You're looking about 700 to 900 millivolts easily at a volt and you know when you're dealing with electronics running at 3 volts or 5 volts You know that half ball well is going to be the difference between how long you can run on a lipo battery Especially if you have you know, you have your lipo battery and then you have a shocky diode and then a 3.3 volt regulator you know, you want to make sure that that You know that drop is 0.1 volts or 0.2 volts for most of the use case So you're not losing all of that power through the diode before it gets to the regulator and then the regulator You don't need a little bit of headroom as well So the mistake I made was like well One in 4148 what you know one in 4001 the family, you know, I want the NBR 120 family So let's just look at that and see what's available. And you know, yes Looks like there's a couple different forward voltages. I looked at active and then I Searched by quantity available and there was nothing in stock from you know on semi So that was kind of a downer. There are a couple different, you know slight part variations You know some with 350 450 or 500 millivolts So I was kind of like oh, you know, this is this is not good because I know that I really like this particularly low Dropout type rectifier, but my mistake was I shouldn't have searched for the family name What I should actually do and I also searched for the package case and that was a mistake also because there's actually Quite a few very similar package cases. What you want to do is just look for a you know active shop key diode 20 volts is not so important. I do want one amp and I want like a fast recovery type That reverse current I just want to be you know, that or less and Surface mount and then when I got to the next page Can because actually the reverse voltage is not as important The forward voltage I'll figure that out in a moment. So the supplier package here There's actually quite a few all in the same family remember.  Maybe you're like specific packages I don't care as long as it fits on the footprint. So You know, I selected those and then again, I really want that low forward voltage and so The one I was comparing to was like, you know, three fifty ish I don't go up to four hundred maybe just to see what the what the specs are because again, they go they go quite high but I do want to be a low forward voltage and then I Searched by quantity available and I got actually quite a few, you know, pretty good options. So This one was really nice the NBR X 120 see you gotta be careful because sometimes it's like in the family but the family name is not the exact same name and then Also from the same, you know Family not family similar NBR 1020 Right slightly different named But also very low forward voltage And also it's actually got the same reversal current leakage, which is also important to me I want to reduce that current leakage. So this one this this Panjeet's International actually ended up being the part that I got because they have Plenty in stock, but I do want to also note that in addition to like, you know, the NBR One X 20 there's also the PMEG family of Shockey diodes. So this one the next next period NXP They don't use NBR 1020 or 120. They have a difference named You know the way they named their their low dropout Shockey diodes is PMEG and then the voltage, you know In this case 30 and then 10 the current, you know, 1 amp 30 volts And these were actually about the same price also Very good 360 Millivolts and then the PMEG 2010 You know had pretty excellent reverse leakage and also very low forward voltage. So a couple different really good options But you'll see there's not a ton of options in stock like this is You know marketplace ones and we look at this but the NBR X 120 and the NBR 1020 Are both excellent options to replace For ultra low dropout Shockey diodes that are one amp could continue as current And that's your great church Okay, so I'm gonna ask a question. Yes. Um, I hope it's about papyrus. Well, sort of Or shockey diodes if you wanted to play around with this and get a font. Can it be um an otf What is ttf or what type of what type of font I only use ttf because it's kind of like the most popular It's anything that python pillow because that's the library. We're using will Import I bet otf will work basically if python pillow supports. Yeah, do you want to try and experiment live? Uh, sure.  Yeah We'll keep pd. Yeah I'm gonna find like the font. Yeah. No. No. Go to go to the site the dot org. Oh, oh, yeah Yeah, and then scroll down and download the uh Uh, yeah, download the uh, keep going Okay, good. Oh tf. Yeah, don't know tf. Try it out just just for just to see okay Sure, so let's it will drag the Yeah This is like only 720p because yeah, let's just suggest it in the broadcast. Okay already bash Okay, so now I have to uh, I have to go back here I'll go to your computer now. Yeah, let's just see what happens And then I actually have uh, I have this trinky here that I was I was looking at too So let me let's do the trinky. Yeah, I'll see what happens. This is the this is what the trinky looks like beforehand before Okay And then let's bring it into the star wars universe to the bottom silk by the way. Okay, I'm interested Okay, so Python three penguin And it is the proportional font fonts or bash And then Okay, I think it worked Let's look at the output It's that easy Top silk there's this is great. Okay, and then flip it to the other side. Oh boot. Well, they have to change the sizes a little bit Yeah All right, right on. Okay. So this was just a random thing that came up From the the team. You guys need to try and say the rp-24. Yeah, this is cool So, you know what by the way, I'm gonna call it Because I can I can this is on the internet forever Someone is going to make a really cool cosplay Electronics thing using Adafruit open source hardware and when they're finished with it, all of the electronics are gonna have The star wars font in it. It'll be the mode. It'll be like, they'll be like, oh, let me show you how it works Like there'll be lightsabers that use these fonts and stuff like that. Yeah, everyone knows what these this is happening It's happening. This is happening. Okay, cool. Okay. Well, thanks for indulging my curiosity here. All right, any other questions? When we wrap it up for this sunday afternoon. Oh, uh, folks are saying yeah, this is otf is a super type of Ttf. So yeah, yeah, sorry. I mean it basically I think any any vector you do want a vector font, of course Because it's going to resize things as necessary Yeah, okay That's just gladiate everybody. Okay. Thanks everybody Kerplock


Welcome, this is Christy with Art of Awakening, and thank you for watching. Today I thought, well, I'm going to revisit this painting that I started a while back and you may remember it from a previous video, and we're going to, like, talk about flow because there's, um, something I've noticed recently. We've got a lot, we've had a lot of snow this winter, this past winter, in Northern Michigan, and it's all starting to melt now. I know it's April, but this is, this is the UP of Michigan, so it's still got a lot of snow out there, and even now, after it's been melting for days, there's some of the snow banks are still pretty, like, feet tall. So what happens when it starts to flow, when it's been frozen for a long time, the reason I'm talking about this is that a lot of times, when we're healing, whatever it was that we're healing from, a lot of times it sort of causes us to freeze up in some way. It's a protective mechanism that we have in order to be able to cope with extreme situations. So whatever your situation was, and I also want to mention that sometimes, like even just everyday life on this planet right now, can be an extreme situation because we are really living in ways that are not natural. So like, there's like, even if you think you're living a normal life, you probably aren't, right? And it's stressful. It's really stressful. Stress is like really hard on us, and sometimes it causes us to shut down in various ways. And when we heal, you know, part of that healing is this process of thawing out, of unfreezing ourselves. And if you've ever had an extremity of finger or toe or something that got really cold or froze, you know that it can hurt sometimes when you start thawing out. So, you know, sometimes this process of healing, it can be painful even though the healing is happening. It's like, you know, gotta get through that experience of, you know, having these things working through these things. So what I've noticed this spring, and every spring actually, but I've been really noticing at this spring just because there's so much snow that's having to melt, is that as the snow melts, as the ice retreats, things surface.  Isn't that fun, right? All the dog poop from the whole winter starts coming on the surface. Whoops. That's what you get when you put your brush on your feet bucket. All right. So, yeah. So, and that's what happens when we heal too sometimes.  Sometimes when we have to be in a situation and have to bear it for a long, long time, we push these things, we push the emotions down. And again, it's a survival thing. It's a way that we can actually cope and get through it. But when we get to the point where things are a little safer, then it's like safe to start having the stuff, you know, start facing the stuff and start dealing with it. So it's just like having the stuff surface after a long, long winter.  There's nothing wrong with you. It's part of the healing process. And sometimes we do this even on the behalf of the collective.  Your whole society is healing. So sometimes we, very sensitive people, we lightworkers are actually doing a lot more work than we think we are. So I guess the message that's coming through for me right now is to really have some compassion, the self-compassion. Because all of us, I think, are dealing with more than than we think we are. It's there's big, big shifts and big changes happening on a universal level. And it's not easy. And just know that whatever you're doing, whatever you're doing to heal yourself or to feel good or to make others feel good, it's having a major impact. It does make a difference. All right, so like back to this melting thing. I had some thoughts about that because there's different things that come up that can happen you know, when when we have stuff like coming up coming up out of the frozen mess. And out here in my yard, I've noticed that there's different types of debris that surface and some of it, and this corresponds to different things that come up for us in healing. Okay, and there's different ways that you have to deal with it. And so when we have stuff that's surfacing like the trash, sometimes we have to take action. Sometimes there's a call to to act.  And then we hand it over, right, to the sanitary people, and they just deal with it.  Okay, so but first we have to see where it's, you know, just be aware of it. Okay, so as things come up to be healed, first of all, you got a spot that it's trash, right? Because sometimes we kind of think that that there's something wrong with us or that was just the way things are. It can be really easy to just get used to stuff and think, well, that's just the way it is. And then you wonder why you're not coping and people may tell you there's something wrong with you that you're at fault, right? But if you really are objective, you may find that there's stuff there that just needs to be cleaned up. And it's not that there's anything at fault. It's just, you know, just kind of seeing what needs to be done. What needs to be taken action on so that this stuff can be just cleaned up good and for all, and that just requires being just real, but real aware, just keeping your eyes open. And then there's other stuff, sometimes the ickiest stuff that comes up is the stuff like the dog poop, right?  So sometimes there's stuff that we deal with in the healing process that we just can't, like we just can't handle it. Like how do you cope with certain things? How do you reconcile certain things? How do you, you know, in my case, I had somebody in my past that I just kept trying to figure out how, what actions I could take to make things better. And no matter what I did, there was nothing I could do. I mean, it just got worse and worse and worse. And even after I left that situation, I still was like, you know, what happened here? What, you know, how can this person heal? Or how can I do from even the spiritual level to help this person heal? And I finally got my answer. It's like, there's nothing I can do. There's nothing I can do. All I can do is hand it over to spirit. And that's grace, right? Asking for grace. It's all that I can do. And that person will have to heal my own terms. That's between them and spirit. I can do this for, ask for grace, myself too. And, you know, that's what you do when the dog poop comes up, right? In the yard. You just wait for the rain to fall. The sun will shine on it and disinfect. The rain will fall and wash it away. And that's grace. And the lovely thing about that is like, we don't have to do anything for that to happen. We'll always have to do something. So part of this healing process is, first of all, being willing and aware to see what is there that is, you know, coming up to be healed. And then second, to be discerning and realize, well, where needs to be taken action? And where is something that just needs to be handed over? And even both of them, actually, it all needs to be handed over. We can all give it all over to spirit. But sometimes, you know, the spirit calls for us to take the action first, right? To do our part and picking it up. And at other times, it's just pure, just handed over. Handed over to the angels, handed over to Mother Mary or whoever, and let them take it. Because it's not all for us to shoulder. We're not here to save the world. We're here to make it beautiful. Sometimes that entails a lot of picking up of garbage, right? Sometimes we've got to wade through some ugliness in order to bring beauty to the world. We're not here to save it. The world goes for the earth, too. We don't need to save the planet, but we do need to work in cooperation with the planet to create something beautiful and wonderful. Because Mother Earth is here. Mother Earth loves us tremendously. People kind of think sometimes it's us against the planet, but it's not. A lot of forgiveness out there. A lot of forgiveness waiting to be had. But sometimes it starts with just forgiving ourselves. All right, so I may just continue to play with this a little bit more. But I think that's all for today.

My name is Kaye Felix and I will come you to Kaye Felix Inspire. Always remember if you are coming here for the first time please don't forget to subscribe. Hit the bell icon so that you get notified whenever I post new videos. Please do stay tuned for more details in this video. Aiz really really cause me pain from his Facebook blogs, Facebook interviews, what he has said about me, what he has done against me, that many things and I'm going to take you through some of the things and how they have affected me. If you want to fight a man of God, continue. Continue. Call me. Even when Mr. Muiho called me all sorts of names, it was fashionable for him to do so. Even you that is watching this video, you can continue. It's okay, it's fine. But remember that I am anointed of the Lord. Remember that I am anointed of the Lord. When you fight a man of God, remember that he is anointed of the Lord. There are a lot of people who are watching this video that were affected by what Mr. Muiho did to me. And a lot of people. Some of you are watching this video called me and texted me and said to me, Papa, what have you done to this man? What have you done to him? In a twinkling of an eye, Simon Muiho had changed my life. He changed my life.  So, those of you that are judging me that know the man of God is happy that Mr. Muiho is going through a bad patch. Of course, I am not saddened by what is happening to him because it is a seed that he gave in my life that he is ripping. Mr. Muiho had sown a seed. Now he is ripping the seed that he had sown. He is ripping the seed that he had sown. Whatever you saw, you will rip. Most of the people that are commenting, no sense on my platform. You don't have the ability to judge me because to be honest with you, you have never impacted my life in one way or another. So, before you can tell me that, I have to forgive and forget before you can quote all sorts of scriptures for me. I also want to ask you why did God kill a roti? I also want to ask you why did God kill Goliath? I also want to tell you why did God kill an Aneas and Safira? There is a limit to what you can do to a man of God. Never deceive yourself. There is a limit to what you can do to the anointed of the Lord. There is a limit to what you can do. Always understand this principle. If we are not doing what is right before God, God will judge us. But if you put yourself in the seat of judgment, God will visit you. So, God is visiting Mr. Well. And I say this without fear of contradiction. God is visiting Mr. Well. God is not done visiting Mr. Well. God is not done. This is just the beginning. God is not done. When God begins to visit a man in vengeance, the man will understand that even people that comment on Facebook, they are not worth impressing. This is just the beginning. God is visiting him for the pain he caused me. I fasted for seven days, seven nights because of Mr. Well. I prayed and I cried to God. What I cried to God was that God showed this man that you are Elohim. God is answering my prayer. I stand before God. God is answering my prayer. God is answering my prayer. God is answering my prayer. God, you too that is watching me, there are people watching me right now who have passed through the certain level of pain that I have gone through. People have ridiculed you for no just reason. People have said all kind of malicious things to you for no just reason. I want to tell you that God will fight for you. God does not need the validation of man to fight. God in his wisdom knows how to fight. I am talking to a woman, I am talking to a man who has gone through pain because of people. The Lord will fight. I told Mr. Well, I said to him, my God will fight for me. And I still maintain my God will fight for me. I told Mr. Well, I will not take you to the police. I told Mr. Well, I will not take you to court. But my God will fight for me. I want to let you know wherever it is that you are, you are going through any manner of level of pain.  I want to let you know that God will fight for you. God is not a man. It doesn't matter how many people are against you when God decides to fight for you. God can fight. The Lord is fighting my battle. Mr. Simon Well was entered into a battle with me. Little did he know that he has entered into a battle with spirits. He did not know that he has entered into a battle with spirits. When you enter into a battle with spirits, you must be ready to engage into the wrestling of spirits. God will fight. God will fight. And people that are advising him must not deceive him because the truth of the matter is that he will dry up. The truth of the matter is he will dry up. I stand before God as an oracle. I stand before God as an oracle. God will fight. So you can judge me. You can do whatever it is that you want to do. You can say whatever it is that you are saying, but I'm telling you what is happening to him that is God fighting for his own. God has a way of fighting. If you are a media blogger and you are watching this video, let something enter into your spirit. Let something enter into your mind.  There are people you talk about and God will fight. God will fight. God will continue to hear many more news about him. You will continue to hear many more information about him. God can fight. We are not serving a dead God. We are not serving a God that does not answer prayer. If God does not answer our prayer, then he is not God. He is a God that vindicates his own. God is fighting. Jehovah is fighting. This is my message to everybody that is a media blogger. Not everybody you fight is your size. I said this in all humility and simplicity. Not everybody you fight is your size. There are some people you fight them and you expire. Don't cause any man pain unless you are ready for such an amount of pain to be caused to you. You can judge me. When Simon was fighting me, you were not judging me. You were siding with him. Now that God is fighting for me, you want to come here as an advisor. You did not advise him. You want to come to me as an advisor. Well, congratulations. Congratulations. It is only God that can forgive him. As for me, I prayed. It is only God that can forgive him. I handed over the matter to God. So it is only God that can forgive him. Everything that he did to me, I handed it over to God.  I want to tell you that I am happy that God is fighting for me. There is a difference between bitterness and victory. I consider what is happening now as victory. I consider what is happening now as victory. Because when we pray, God must answer. When we pray, God must answer. May God answer whatever prayer you have made in pain. Whatever prayer you have made, may God answer that prayer. May God answer that prayer. Many of you have been following me for quite some time. I came on Facebook and I said it. I said, let him continue fighting me, but I will not fight him physically. I will fight him spiritually. So when a person is fighting another person physically, let him not be deceived that spiritually there is nothing happening. Life is spiritual. I said this without fear of contradiction. Life is spiritual. When you fight a man physically, get ready for what he will do spiritually. Life is spiritual.   A Facebook post can mess up your life. And a Facebook comment can mess up your life completely. I am telling you, life is spiritual. Some people will take you to God, some people will take you to native doctor. Life is spiritual. Whatever you do on earth, understand that life is spiritual. You must understand that life is spiritual. And whatever you do on the earth dimension has consequences. Anything you do on the earth dimension has consequences. My name is Prophet Ian Genesis. I am the man that is carrying the Genesis mandate. Demonstrating the God of the beginning and without fear of contradiction. I said this to you. What is happening to Mr. Muewa is God fighting his own battle because of the men and women of God that Mr. Muewa scandalize. Because of the men and the women of God that Mr. Muewa ravished. God is not sleeping. He is very awake. God bless you.

We actually have a demo on that for Android Auto in the upper right-hand part of your screen if you want to check out that video. Last but not least, we got the off-road pages, which are really cool.

Hi, I'm Stephanie Minton and I went to Carleton to the Public Affairs and Policy Management Program. Today I work at the University of Canada, where I'm a specialist in government relations. Since I graduated from Carleton, I've worked at World Vision and NGO and a consulting firm, National Public Relations, doing consulting. Carleton really prepared me for this type of experience, partially because it was an interdisciplinary program where you were able to build skill sets, to be able to have the skill sets that employers are looking for today. One of the other things that was really fantastic about Carleton is having access to being in Ottawa, where I was able to, through the Residence Association, volunteer at Parliament Hill and work for different members of Parliament, which definitely helped me get to the type of experience that employers have been looking for, for the type of field that I've ended up in today. One of the other things that Carleton's really good at was supporting me to be able to go abroad when I was accepted to be a delegate for the APEC Summit in South Korea. And they were able financially to support me in doing that. And since then, lots of the different jobs that I've had have been impacted by being able to have that international experience at Monner's. During my program at Carleton, I also learned things about how government works and the different steps to make things happen in government, which doing government relations now has been integral to me being able to do my job well.
