Without Jeff here, I think it looks good and I have vamp here To be my person that helps just for that part Hi Judy Judy, okay So they're just checking to make sure that I can hear me and you can hear me and we can hear me and And Hopefully you can awesome today I was supposed to tell John to come in for this live, but this is a spur-of-the-moment live So he and I discussed that he was going to send me a whole bunch of stuff and whenever The occasion Presents itself. I'm going to use a whole bunch of stuff and today I'm going to use some this Of the things that are oh angel hair with la meta Can't tell you What that means But that's what it is I'm going to call it santa's beard because that's what it looks like also Stay tuned because we're going to do some giveaways of this Sample glitter I think we're going to give one away at the end of this And then the next eight Mystery boxes over 50 bucks will also get bonus this that won't count towards the 50 bucks because I didn't pay for it Therefore you will not pay for it. So la meta is another word for tinsel Learn something near every day. It's a thin wire or foil made of brass gold or silver Oh, well, that must be that's the silver bit strips of metallic foil used as Christmas decorations Oh, so la meta is like tinsel and there is the tinsel amongst the angel here, which I cannot tell you what it is because I don't know So now we know now we know They will be here answering questions for me Before we get started.  I don't know if this is going to work but who knows so I cut up santa's beard into smaller bits and I'm going to mix it into some That and then we're going to see if it works and then See if it works I think it'll work sort of like, you know when birds build their nests They use all sorts of different things to make it structurally sound Yeah, I mean so you're just You're adding anything in to make it a thicker It's like I feel like it'll be a good tiller, but I wonder if it'll make it like furry I don't know furry furry flowers. It could be furry flowers. Who's to say? We'll find out together. Yeah Famp fall I let you guys know that Vance down But we came over to say hello, so Melissa's in the house Libby, Lisa Bannister, Sandy What's up all you fans swampers watching and working Elba's watching on lunch break Even if it is just our lunch break Judy said birds also use spit. Are you going to use spit in it too? What are you going to be making a flower I'm going to try the flower thing just because that's why people mix in the fibers is Dicking it to the right shape um Hopefully that works and then if not it's fine Because I tried it somehow and I'll test it Cool Did you show them that flower? Is that the kind of flower you're doing? I show them this flower for the first day, but it's even turned even more discolored Because this is the one I used Basically laundry detergent in So it's all you can kind of see the little like crystal leaves. Yeah. Yeah So Libby she's using uh modeling paste And then she's adding in Or trying to just add in this Uh santa's beard Just as like a thickener You know what would probably be really good for this is that stuff from stone coat? That's basically yes the quick coat, but this is You don't need a mask for this you need a mask for the other one That's like a silica fiber that's basically what this is just this is thicker like a larger If this doesn't work, I'm going to cut out some not today, but some um some of my fiberglass cloth Uh alpha would like to know what the base you're using and is it a wax paper or butcher paper? How are you mixing? So I'm just mixing this on some butcher paper Is it shiny on both sides shiny side up? Okay, so it's shiny on one side doll on the other So always remember to do the shiny side unless you're me then you always forget that part Should I mix plaster into this? Hi tim um Oh, it's spark that little shimmer to it Is it doing the little ridgey thing? Oh, it's hairy It's doing the little ridgey thing I haven't tried it. I think it's still too. It's too liquidy thin. Yeah It was gonna have a problem doing the The thing because of all the hairs So it's gonna have this one's not gonna be able to do the ridgey thing I'm gonna have to do that like flour. Yeah, I'm going to have to like smear the petals But that's okay because I think that I'll be able to still shape this Swamper's laughing who knows who at Swamper Stop laughing at my pain except for go for it. It is a bit hairy but If you can't tell once I have it. Yeah, Judy said it's called freezer paper Headled out You can't tell you can't tell it doesn't matter Tricia. Hello. Hello Very hairy flowers. There are very um like furry flowers I knew how to make like velvety kind of flowers A This would be Okay, so let me show you my hair.  So if I Pull it up like this. It'll stay in like that. Oh cool So that's good You know what I'm seeing right now Oh, do you know what I'm seeing a wave Somehow the hair is making it a wave Like the big big wave Like from here I'm seeing a wave In in the making a big crashy wave Yeah, when the you know, they go on the rocks And do this cat tails. Oh, yeah, those are furry One of Mono says oh my god, that looks weird Yeah, Tim a pipeline Still too doobie to hand-build it. So it's mine. Hi, Erlene Hi, Erlene Basically, you're almost making um Old school like plaster used to have like Hair like horse hair and stuff in it Like old rugs and old plastic way back in the day When they were trying to mortar their Homes They being humans that made homes with rocks and wood They would use mud and clay and use like horse hair And branches and things. That's kind of what you're doing You learn something every day I did not know that Judy says could be a great spread on canvas for texture Oh, yeah, and they used to use horse hair and rugs and made them very sturdy rugs I know this because I had to rip it out of one of my houses before It was not All right, let's add some color just so we can see what's happening Oh, Tim said also could be cool mountains could be cool mountains. Yeah, I could see it as like this could definitely be a good Okay, landscaping Yeah If you needed to do grass for um Oh, yeah a terrarium or One of those things I guess I should have made it green Coral it could look corally It could look corally you did it properly because it has these little points Yeah, what other things do points like that? I'm gonna figure out what to do with this because It's okay swamper if you're laughing at me. I don't mind I'm used to it Adobe clay houses have grass or straw mixed in for reinforcement sandy sanders Hey sandy Brenda says hi from Florida Hi Brenda And it's still glittery It is still shimmery. I guess that What do you call it? Uh Lameda Slash tinsel so Okay, so you could use this as the as the center if this is yellow the center of a flower Because it is very that All right, we're gonna make it work with this We're gonna make it work See cuz you can smooth it out Yes, I just don't know that I'm just thinking of all the ways you can use this as sure I like the mountain idea And the waves like in my head what I'm seeing is like a crashy wave crash like a stormy wave looks like Bizarre Arlene a what Bez Bizarre bizarre.  I don't either That could be a purple thistle flower sandy sanders. See I knew it was a flower I'm just gonna make some super textured flowers right now We're gonna look up Harry flowers You know everyone else is out there doing that Seems to probably in her head know about Her spiny thistle flower Oh, it's so is Okay, so I'm just trying to shape my petals in this moment thistle flower Oh, it doesn't like this and I chose the right color. See you meant to thousand percent meant to I will say though Pernising bees Can I show the people what we're talking about? You may have to turn your screen down This is a thistle flower And a bee I like the splattery look that it gives Like where it's just touching Are you talking harry potter over here with your bazaar? Or is it a thing? Jeff is either gonna come home and be like that's so red or what is that? Oh a hairball I'm just calling it a hairball instead of a bee jambore It's a cookie jambore You don't want to see the pictures of that Not a hairball Okay, I will say the fibers are hard to control Oh a volcano Have a couple of flowers in your Repetoir before Attempting a saintess beard one Tim peas would like to know how long does it take for this to dry? Right, and I think it probably depends on what you mix with it as well right So if you're mixing plaster and It dries relatively fast Like two hours. Yeah and then Modeling paste I think is probably a 24 hour If it's thin enough because that's what I used on that one piece I give it a day to dry I mean if it's I'm I did this one this morning it's I mean you could paint over it but you couldn't still kind of Light water content Try not to say the N word and if you do it too thick it can crack I have to keep that in mind Making a rosebud of this tiny little flower I like these I like how you did the center Because she did the center of this See that little center And this she did this morning And it's pretty dry A fuzzy furry rosebud So far it looks like a rosebud It's going to just be a flower bud, but um That's not a rose It's just gonna have to be Kelly Conran said happy dance. Love wildflowers. I took lots of photos of landscape Oh, yeah And sandy sander says this would be good for spider webs. You should try the spider web fiber stuff at halloween Yeah, that's a good idea I have a ton of that at my house. I know shocking halloween stuff I think there's something I'm gonna do today You're gonna go halloween shopping y'all halloween stuff is out If you're into halloween decor right now is the time to go Before I get to it all halloween has cool like paint colors that come out So you can definitely see the texture of the fibers.  So I haven't decided I mean, there's some cracks But it's fine. It's plaster. What are you gonna do? No, I'll add to it Let's do a gray wash On this one, I'll just finish this Like um, maybe a watercolor Well, I mean a wash is like a watercolor, but yeah Cause would that maybe soak in a little to the plaster? I don't know Teresa Griffin. Hello Teresa Jennifer said stepped out for a few what I miss made a hairy flower. We made a hairy flower purple a purple Thistle rose hybrid All right, I need some aqua Everyone if you're getting some giggles hit that thumbs up Share a video If you're watching this later comment, it helps the youtubers out there and it's free for you It's There is a contest going on I haven't decided what to do away I Thought it was this Yeah, I know, but I don't know what it What's the competition? But you said something about mystery boxes Well, it's not a giveaway. It's gonna be a mystery box I figured we would give one away like during the life. Oh got it during the life Um, but I don't know what we'll come up with a question neutral tense. I don't think Q o r watercolor knows what Question Look at me. Yeah, this could be the question What is blink sounds good? All right, let's get this wash. Oh, yeah, Teresa. You can't always donate on super chat Timp, he said mystery box. What? Right Tim's all about some mystery boxes. So there's um the Glitterglass company that Erica works with has a new What is it like colorway color? That is a specialty color for glitterama Like a gold silver platinum Mix right so anytime you order from meyer imports during your glitterama Special season um You'll get one of those just thrown in And I think I think you said it starts on august 1st Yep, is there a limited edition glitterama starts august 1st and you should hit them And the coupon code to use on their site is down in the description of the videos To save a little bit Yep, the discount code is atd 2022 And that's on their website as well. It's the same Glitterglasses that erica sells right So I'm using pains gray to Just add some color to the outside Libby a balloon was not used to make the petals Erica showed these ones right here the white On yesterday's video Uh towards the end she showed real quick how she did these particular style flowers With just the modeling paste You did not add add anything into it. It's just the modeling paste right and a palette knife Erica cannot really speak right now. She has a paintbrush in her mouth So I'm talking for her. I don't know why Had a paintbrush in my mouth Had a whole hand open I'm just trying to add some depth Thank you tg. Thank you so much tg. She said because they do these the best ever learning channel Oh So I'm trying to add Dark in the outside area and then use just a water Drenched brush To bring it Inward and that's just going to collect on Any texture that I have on the petals? Which I love Kelly do you mean on resin? Uh, Kelly asked can you teach us how to create the water drops in future videos, please? You can absolutely teach her how to do water drops. Are you asking about Water drops in resin or like spray paint water drops or alcoholic bubbles Just style water drops, which is just Hyper realistic So I don't know if I'll do you guys this is paint gray. Should I do something to the You said pink so then I started thinking it was both metal I think I'll be too dusty or color Libby another says I want to see Erica's hand using the Dawn power wash Are you gonna stop and yeah, you did a video on the Dawn power wash? I haven't done it on my canvas. I did it with some board And after that came out, I know I feel like I did do one on my chair in any case I can revisit that for you guys. I initially intended on doing this as a time lapse because I know some of it can get boring Libby she did it. I think on a tumbler video a while ago, but not the Like full giant canvas style that you're seeing a lot out right now. So that could be A cool video I'll add it to a list. It's got my list running. So if you have any video requests She didn't email in the ampoule yet and then I'll just put it on the calendar Anyone have any questions? I'm just over here in my little world about anything why she's doing this I think everyone's just in a zone watching you They do that when Jeff doodles In the zone when Jeff doodles. Yeah Get in the zone My mind goes blank and I just watch Just a little doodles are a great zone out That's cool to push it up and you get a little shadow going And it was just a drop you used of that right just the smallest bit of paint. Yeah, because it's watercolor and it's Resin to these texture pieces that I haven't decided how best Maybe the outside do a fun pattern around the outside of them so they don't go in It's got to be real thin resin I'm probably going to do that for that look it probably best to add the resin before the plaster Because I don't have to Resin around something my question that would be would the plaster actually stick to a bridge? I would just stuff under where it's going Because yeah, that would be a concern And I know it doesn't stick to This right Up would like to know are you going to do a two-tone color flower? I'm gonna paint a two-tone color flower or am I going to Just do a two-tone one. I mean right now I would assume painting because you're Yeah, but sometimes people video or like She did two-tone petal flower yesterday With the actual she colored the modeling paste two different colors and then mix them But this way with the painting. She could do a two-tone Lisa said this method could make some fabulous Blue Marius this is such a bad thing She's working from home and she keeps accidentally typing my work stuff here in chat and then her comments on her spreadsheet It is canvas tim Yeah, this is just canvas just goes It's lightweight This is a lizard And I can't even say that out loud without thinking about You're making a pink But I don't think that's gonna be the case Grand pink is a very good color combo Or we said these do look Hawaiian Well, we're used to Harry things at the moment Everything's So Pam said palette knife art on canvas. I love that style y'all should try it Is it she just came in I think So I actually have been thinking about doing palette knife art on canvas The only real delay in doing that is I didn't want it to be like I'm not a better artist than anybody, but I wanted it to be unique in some way because there are a lot of people doing just Right finally nice splashes of color like a unique twist on it or yeah Or unique color combos or ways. Well, yeah, that's trying to bring myself into it. Yeah Which is what it's awesome about art We can all be watching you do these flowers and then we could all Everyone in chat Could all do this and even try to copy those exact flowers and they'd all look super unique And different because people bring their own Visions their own colors. They like to it That's true And it's how art grows and it's how art techniques are learned because People like you that do the test You have to do people like me that I don't even do a test. I just do stuff and see if it works That works for you though He usually does it But it's fun. I learned what not to do. That's for sure large large paper Plates are good to mix in I could see that They're good to mix in like a oh, yeah I used trying to figure out how to work with this stuff Not the watercolor the plaster in general Yes, Teresa shared knowledge Exactly Also, if you didn't see yesterday's video She did this real quick with a stencil so you can do many different things See That's cool this morning It's so cool looking There's so many ideas to do Oh I'm gonna put just a little bit of pink on these bad boys We're gonna just work it up into the pedal without changing any of the flow It's pretty Sounds like My puppy daddy's here Chuala says hi Erica, Jeff and everyone that is making so beautifully awesome So I'm using a wet brush With the color and then just slightly damp brush to blend it upward I need to figure out what I want to do With The inside of these I guess I don't have a choice. It kind of just needs to be yellow Yellow doesn't seem like it should be yellow Yellows I'm gonna do this like just right Howdy, howdy, do you know who that was lair bear? She's a mouse I teach painting like with a paintbrush But I will say And if you need a pale color Don't add white to the color I love you If you're trying to get a pale color right add the color white and not add the white to color You're gonna use a lot. Got you on your if you're mixing. Yeah on the palette. Yeah Push the color in a little Right So I want to keep the yellow super pale Because this whole thing kind of has a washed out look anyways It's beautiful lemon-ade color. It's very Lemonade so I just put some of the color down and I'm kind of picking it up Bully So yeah, I'm picking up just a little bit of the color Stippling it in and then just adding more water to pick up The loot and move to that color around This watercolor and that's I don't know what it's good for A bit of the darker or brighter just in some spots That is a great color with that color depth of shade Thank you I wish I knew how to put this on my tv so You can see it up close and personal What kind of tv do you have?  I'll catch the rest later. Bye Erlene. Thanks Erlene Have a good doctor's appointment Meow I think I'm gonna do just a bit of a color wash Before we add any gold leaf Judy says woe is getting Dixie all she has to help in the work Dixie butt I like it better like this I'm gonna just I'm gonna put some eye cat drippies She has some kind of big fancy tv That's how I did it Some tv's have um Like youtube built right in to the remote like netflix u2 disney if it's new And then someone said iphone. I don't know anything about apples But I know duty can stream with her apple to her tv Yeah, that's great So some of the color I got on my brush and some I'm just picking up from the outer Rim of the flower So that it can be darker in some areas and lighter in others Are you doing sort of like the roses behind you type look feel like Yeah I'm not trying to create a drop shadow. I'm just trying to create Some movement a little bit of movement and a little bit of depth I'm burying how Long I pull those strokes Because I don't want it to be fully uniform I'm adding a little bit darker every time Oh, you do this on your landscapes too. It looks cool. I do this on your uh, not landscape What's called skyline? Yeah, I do this a lot on my everything Because it's cool Very on brand for me. Just play with it. Joella. You'll find it tg To all of that to wash it a little bit So watercolors kind of act like alcoholings except They aren't as finicky Like if I put water Next to a watercolor like this it's just gonna Kind of blur it or fuzzy a little bit But if this were alcoholings it would have completely reactivated everything that's in this room So if you added water Yep to it Would it I understand the blur part would it like erase it kind of like if you put alcohol and alcohol ink I don't think it would it just really soften it I think it will just soften it Okay, because The color would have to go somewhere it would and it could come back into the brush just a little bit But because canvas is so porous. Yeah, that's that's on it. It's in there. Okay, but you could blur or lighten it a little Maybe if I was working on Like one of the white cradle boards that we have Oh, okay. It may not because those are not As porous they're Like for alcoholings pulling a straight line when your canvas is flat is They could see it when you had it raised up Easily one of the hardest things if you need to raise it up. They could see it before but okay I feel like I can do this upside down easier than I can this way I'm trying to darken just some areas and just building that color of it Also, remember that Unless spoken for or they tell you art that they create is always for sale as well You like something and always email the piece that you like Let us know you ship everywhere, right? I should have around the world Australia it's iffy right now. We're testing if they're taking shipments right now Large shipments. Yeah That's been a whole Her package is that lax now She said yesterday Everybody's taken so long. I mean, I guess it wanted to get started. I mean it's going I mean it got to chicago the last time I lived there Carol says hi everyone. Hi Carol So see how I added that heavy water here. And so we just kind of blurred it And made it look kind of like a stain Which you can get up all links to do that pretty easily but it would have Woke up everything around it Yeah, the watercolor alcohol ink does have a similar or you can get similar effects Things that are totally different, but also Yeah, like some of that looks very alcohol ink and then other looks paint painterly painterly painterly Erica's teaching me big words Every day So I just went in with clear to see if I could scoot this in or pick it up and it's just not moving Softened it a little Little very little So when it's down on the canvas, it's there. It's there All right, let's get some I think I might Just pull a little bit up Very faint so it doesn't look like I don't know what but I'm just using a wet brush and then pulling the ink off of Just a fair little So just to give the background a slight gray hue Oh, this is so cool looking There's so many ideas I'm following that trap of being inspired And then it just sits in your brain. Yeah turn when the live goes off go do it A little bit extra dark over here because there's nothing visually interesting about that side So yeah, there we have our background everything Meow then Man both our allergies. Sorry everyone if you hear a sniffling the weather outside is Jar that Oh, yep Okay, this is a sticky pin It's by deco foil For iCraft i'm not sponsored But Yeah, they did have sent me stuff before but this was not one of them Pink delight You can find it in our store Claire would like to know do we have the uh Modeling paste in the amazon store and the paints Claire i'll add that to the list of things that we need to look into Get me right There's a silver Okay, so i'm using my sticky pin from deco foil not sponsored by for watching what's up and i'm Okay, initially i was gonna Just antique the The ridges of my flowers But now that i have the pink i'm like should i Should i do the inside Like in these areas Like scribble it I think that would be beautiful Let's try one and see I'm gonna color all the way in all the way up to Stay in the area and this is a adhesive pen She's using pretty sure the adhesive pens are in the store So i'm just doing a little bit of a scribbly scribble to be able to see that once the Theresa says oh it's getting real now Evelyn said been watching looks nice. E. Thank you Watch out for girl cat. She hears everything Lisa says I know oh and puggily loves the bring out bring out the flake and foil My cats are like hey They're trying to cut boy cat literally eating fully I mean my cat eats plastic They're like us to zoom in but So there's not a whole lot to me just yet because everything's clear Okay So now So the way The bottle with the lady on it Mona Lisa everybody Mona Lisa nice people It's a milky color and then once it Starts to dry it goes clear so I don't know if they can see this a little bit Of milkyness that's running right here me Okay I'm charged by this and that's what came out. So for the people that don't know what charged means So this is charging a pen. You press down on the little nibby Press down and the color comes. Oh no. I Okay, yeah, okay, so I don't know if you guys can notice that it's milky white color, but once it's ready for stuff to get stuck to it. It goes clear so I can hear it A lot of you guys can hear So Claire, I am not reading that sentence out loud in front of Erica I'm trying with the camera y'all I'm learning I'm learning Teresa said a firm tap a little bit of this down I thought I'd be fancy with it, but it's not working for me. So we're going to not use this brush I'm just gonna kind of Varnish, it's so That was me billy leaf I'm on about using a sticky pin is You can't really even if it is white until it's ready to go. You can't really always see where it is Clara, could you put this in the um description This is what she's using right now Thank you. I have the best mods But begin with your brush and swirly motion Did someone say that to me or are you saying that Claire is just telling the people what you're saying Thank you for clarification. Thanks lady. That's too big of a chunk So once you get your first bit of Oh, I love it. Soil down You can see where you're at and where you want to add more If you want to add more I'm gonna add more because my world more is more and obviously this must be a really amazing pink if I'm liking pink That's so beautiful Fuchsia fan not pink This is wow, I might have to get some of this.

Don't That is just gorge Lisa says Lisa says that's gorgeous and then lots of parts and kissy emojis and happy face from clara Which don't know what that means Claire is always happy because that's I know I'm like that seems very Are you mad?

Lisa if you put a order in we'll put it in your shipment um the glitter glass Little handout deal You guys have to get on that because free glitter glass is everybody's favorite thing Right So is it anything they order?

Mm-hmm This is beautiful glitter glass I don't think I'm gonna add any of the pink Thank you so much claire No, the center's good. That's a very beautiful Can you show them up close? How that yellow just looks so abrasive Timpy says the best Claire said pro tip you always get your money is worth in the mystery boxes and then some Yes, it's always valued at If you get a $50 you're no matter what you're getting $50 worth of things and then Extra I actually had one person I've twice that had someone like They are very different from grab bags. They are very different. They are not grab bags are just for yeah sale days Those are like half off type mystery boxes, right? So fam when would be a good time for me to do another higher sale? What do you guys think? fall September What's anything like before then? Um august is a little busy Maybe I think claire said tomorrow Does that yellow look better now that it's claire you almost made me fall off is still That looks really good. Yeah, I like that very pale pale Lemonade just gonna get home and be like Oh That does not at all look like hotel. What hotel is he going to? Or i'm thinking motel Everyone said she won a mystery box and it was cool stuff Lisa said you ever get stuck mystery is the cure. It really is. I remember I think it was the first box I ever ordered like three years ago It was like the first time she did the boxes And she sent me a yellow Posca pen and I was just like What? And then uh We were doing challenges once in a while back then And I did a challenge and I actually needed that yellow It was one of the colors in the palette So you never know When you need The random things in the mystery box I'm saying is Is that a carry junk? No, and it's cool And you get so many things that you have to review and test out that you're never necessarily going to use again You have just so much that Don't let it go bad and don't let it go waste because you used it one time or two times Oh, and you once sent me um Those holders The light triangle things I still use those You know you put your board on it. They're like pyramids. Yeah, okay, so apparently I grabbed Gold leaf that is stuck So you can get gold leaf that is loose sheets of gold leaf You get loose sheets and then you can get it so it's stuck on that So basically how you would use this is it's like relief style. It's like barely on there It's like a rub on yeah, so then you just stick it to wherever you think you have which honestly is Amazing Yeah Because you don't it doesn't all of a sudden go flying out of your hand. I wouldn't know anything about that All over your carpet When I did that wall Libby, it's a never bad Habit it's always good. If you're using your supplies, it's a good habit And if you don't use them you can always find churches and um preschools and daycares And things like that that will use your unused art supplies my initial idea for this piece was to Dry brush it with sticky and then just let the gold leaf Adhere to whatever it felt like Maybe I'll do that on the next one Erica's farther away from the phone than I am and I also I have a very loud voice Van projects They're saying it's hard to hear you my bad Is that better? Libby says she's a supply hoarder Don't no one has a supply hoarder title like My very art mother I know a great organizer For anyone who needs organizing They don't do that. Oh Taking dad out to dinner There 430 seems like dad dinnertime Let's dust off the excess and then see what we Oh correct Clara High school or teachers will cry with joy if you donate extra arts supplies to them and think about that. That's true Anybody that deals with children and creativity Will appreciate it more than anything Times can be tough. So if you're not using it Go put a smile on someone's faces And that's coming from me I love that little addition. It's like an antiquey I like it It's reminding me of a brooch Like a 1950s brooch It reminds you of a brooch. Yeah, that's a good thing Dig it Let's just put a little sticky on the night points Judy said vamp organized me to sanity If anyone's in the market for someone organized they stuff Vamp is miss madame organizer I am that was my job for many many many years And still is My gig job side job I think I hit all high points. What color are you gonna do? Gold's gonna dust it with gold. Yeah But I need loose gold Judy says I'm out of here off to get nails done. Oh, have fun, Judy Have a good nail day Judy Doing that tomorrow This is what? Oh, that's a danger. Gold leaf looks like see how it flies away If I sneezed right now, this would go in my face It takes all of nothing to rip This stuff Libby, I would smile and love it. She said if I showed you pictures you would retire real quick. No, I wouldn't She'd be like, what's your budget? Yep Will travel I'm like, I love watching like the hoarder shows and any organized show Like I love it. It's I would assume that you did not like watching orders. No I like because I like watching it get cleaned. I don't like the beginning But I like how it gets clean. That's the only good part is the beginning. No, I like the ending All right, I'm just gonna work it out up in there But you didn't do all the yellow just I didn't I just did the high point, but to be fair It may stick to the paint Oh, that's true. If it was not fully Yeah So that's why I'm kind of turning a rough brush it To work some of that out And if it doesn't go and it's just meant to be there I'm waiting on one of my flowers to just fly off Like the gold leaf just flew off I may have been too much gold to put it all today. Well, you still see yellow I like it So she could have stopped five steps ago I could have but now I just have to make it even but We can never stop adding bling and shine I can't stop more is more more is always more and good That's okay I mean to us Libby said never too much gold. I like it so much. I'm kind of mainly you this one sorry for all the extra mess You might be running out as Claire said this could be a finished oops wrong channel Section. Oh, she's back on tonight too. I'm going to start on something I'm just gonna Gold this up and it'll be good to fair Did you put gold on the high points in the yellow? I'm not really sure where all I put That's what's cool about leafing too. You can kind of just because you can't necessarily see where you put the adhesive Or you can just run the leaf Cross it and it'll catch be mindful if you do that on top of resin Sometimes Well, it does just catch Curl it painting with Julie ease much better with the gold Just adds things when you add a little shine or little Little Yeah, if you have like a flat color Or more of opaque color and you add something a little glossy or a little shiny You don't have to be you know glitter and rhinestones every day Leafing is a good kind of Segway into that. Yeah Oh No such thing as too much bling People in the chat say hi Jeff They know you're here because Bowie told them Chip said hello if you couldn't hear him Either it just dried or you didn't feel a certain spot Well, it very much you just need it in those spots Evelyn I forgot what I said. Why not what? I don't know what I said I mean what I say She said why not? Yep. I don't know what I said I'm sure like very Not pointing at it Impressive Well thought out. Yeah, that's it. It was well thought out Like you considered many things Never in my life have I done that Zero percent of the time. Nope All right, dust this sucker off and see what we got Maybe to go do more work It's better than rearranging my entire house. I suppose Also when leafing I would uh like to add Use a mask Just for me who happens to be allergic to like everything I'm already feeling it because I'm just around it not wearing a mask Expert wall It is not is beautiful somebody will want my hotel art Oh Evelyn I think she was asking because I was saying something about glitter not everyone likes Glitter and rhinestones. It's just too much for a lot of people Especially art that's in a more masculine home sure, but The shine of leafing. I know it's I don't understand it but Leafing is a good good way to bring a little shine and bling into The most masculine of home. So you guys That's Oh, yeah, I'm just gonna ask you guys a pop quiz All right The question is and vamp gets to call the winner What does Lamenta also Like what would we call that? What's another word? What's another word for lametta You can hold your finger over that word and then Show them which Angel hair with lametta What is that another word Melissa Crocker Melissa Crocker Melissa Melissa, can you email me your address, please? I have it in the system. Oh you do unless it hasn't changed Or maybe said same as beard So, yes, lametta is also tinsel Not bad. I think the execution is a little bit weak So I will be revisiting but that shows you what awesomeness you can do with those metal flakes This is what you can do All of this amazing can be yours if you add Some of that lametta to your And modeling page the first eight Mystery boxes is going to get free one of these as well Yeah, and that won't count towards Whatever price minister. No, that's just extra So There you go.

The first test flight of Ukrainian-made AQ-400-Sythe Kamikaze drones has been carried out. Relevant images have been distributed on Ukrainian telegram channels. The price of the base model of the AQ-400-Sythe unmanned aerial vehicles, which will compete with the Iranian-made Shahid drones used by the Russian army, is US$15,000. Drones with additional capabilities will cost slightly more. The body of the drone is made from plywood collected in furniture factories. Manufacturers believe that drones made by this method are cheaper and more profitable compared to those made from other materials. Capable of carrying 32 kilograms of explosives, the drone can travel 750 kilometers at a speed of 144 kilometers per hour.


Welcome to this session where we will look at the use of arrays for solving computational problems. We are seen in the last session that C plus plus provides array data structure. Arrays can be declared to have a type and a size. Remember that all elements of the array have the same type and they are all accessed by using index expression and an index value must be between 0 and size minus 1. We also remember that iterative constructs can be easily used to examine and process all elements of an array in whatever desired order. For example, if I wish to scan all elements of the array one after another, a for loop is ideal to do that. Here is an example for i equal to 0 i less than n i plus plus. Then I can write a code to process array elements. Observe the starting value and end condition. I want to process the array elements from 0 to n minus 1. So, I should start with i equal to 0 and I should check the final condition to be i less than n. Having seen this, we shall now proceed to look at the use of arrays in solving computational problems. In this session, we specifically look at a simple problem of finding average and standard deviation of some data. In this case, the data is marks scored in a quiz by students in a class. Here is the definition of the problem. n students of a class have taken a quiz. Their marks have to be processed to calculate the average and the standard deviation. We assume that at most 600 students are there in the class. Why do we need this number? We need this to define the size of the array, so that the array can hold marks for all students. We proceed with the analysis of this problem, which tells us that we need to calculate the average. We already know how to calculate the average. So, we will use the same algorithm. That is, we start with the declaration of an array of the type integer. We read and store n marks in that array and we find the sum of all n marks. That is, marks of all n students divide the sum by n to get the average. Observe the question mark here, type integer. Should that be integer? Should that be float? Well, here the assumption is that the marks scored by the students are of the type integer, but this has a bearing as we shall see soon when we build the program further. Next we examine standard deviation. All of you would have studied this term in your school mathematics, but here is a quick recap. This is a statistical term and it describes how data values are spread around the average value. A large standard deviation indicates that data values are far away from the average, many of them, whereas a smaller value indicates that most data values are close to the average. Standard deviation has several practical utilities, for example, in quality control or to understand the spread of data, etcetera. We look at the definition of the standard deviation. So, if mu is the average of n marks, the standard deviation sigma is given by this formula. Basically, you find out the difference of each mark from the average and square that difference. Sum it over for all the elements divided by n and you get the square difference of which you take a square root. The square root represents the square root of the quantity in parenthesis. Now, C plus plus provides a library with many mathematical functions and we have a function to calculate the square root. Please note that you will have to include in your program a header file, just like we say hash include i o stream, we will have to say hash include c math. With this, now we proceed to design the program. We use the familiar algorithm to calculate average. So, as we saw earlier, read and store n marks in an array for marks, iteratively find the sum and divide it by n to get the average, which is mu. Next, we set up another iteration over i to scan all array elements again. This time, we calculate the difference diff between marks and mu and the square of diff is added to the running sum. We divide the sum by n and calculate square root to get sigma. Here is a program. We declare the array in mark 600, the variable i and n. We declare sum diff mu and sigma as flow. Why do we do that? Please note that we have assumed that marks are integer. So, obviously the sum should also be integer. However, we notice that mu and sigma are likely to be fractional numbers and if we find out the average mu by simply dividing sum by n and if sum is integer, we will get into a problem. We will lose out the fractional value and therefore, we define sum as flow. Next, we read n elements of the marks array. So, we read the value of n. Notice once again, the for iteration control i equal to 0 while as the n. This iteration will read all the n marks. We now calculate mu. So, we start with sum equal to 0. Again, iterate over all the elements of the marks array. Keep adding every element to sum and finally, when we finish the loop, we divide sum by n to get the mu. This is what I meant earlier when I said if sum and n are both integers, I will lose the fractional path. Since we have declared sum to be a floating point variable, n will be converted. The value of n will be converted to a floating point value and I will get the correct average mu. Next, I calculate the standard deviation sigma. I again start with sum equal to 0 because that is the starting point. I want to accumulate sum of the square differences. I set up the iteration again exactly the same way, but this time I first calculate the difference of i th element of marks with the average and calculate the square of that difference which I add to the running sum. Having calculated this sum, I now find out sigma by saying square root of sum upon n. Remember, square root is a function. You already are familiar with how functions are called. The difference is we are not writing this function here, but we depend upon the library called CMath to provide us with this function. Finally, we produce the output. Of course, you can see that we are producing an output with appropriate strings explaining what we are saying. So, statistics of quiz one marks for the class, number of students is n, average marks is mu and standard deviation of marks is sigma. This completes the program. From now onwards, we shall be looking at complete programs which solve practical problems. Since we are going to write programs for such purposes, it is important that we remember a few practical aspects of program. For example, when we run this program, a user might commit mistake while giving data. What if a user has 1000 students? The user gives the value of n as 1000. However, we must convey to the users that the limit is 600 marks. So, at least our program should validate the input. If the value of n is out of bound, we must give an error message and exit the program. How do we exit the program? We normally say return 0. This type will say return with some value other than 0, so that the operating system is conveyed the fact that program did not work properly. So, this is the code for validating input. After reading n, if n is less than 1 or if n is greater than 600, I output a string invalid value of n, print the value of n and return minus 1. If I include this in my program at the beginning, the program will run properly even for invalid value of n. So, we recall, we state that for solving any problem, it is useful to write a small design document outlining the algorithm, where we should indicate the variables and arrays to be used. Then, while writing the program, it is preferable to write program segments in logical order. It is preferable to write explanatory commands and it is preferable to use simple and easy to understand constructs. With these tapes, we should be able to write good programs which not only work correctly, but are very readable, understandable and therefore, modifiable. In summary, we have learnt how to use arrays to solve simple computational problems. In the next session, we will consider another problem using arrays. Thank you.


You know those thin hairs you sometimes see on muscles? Those beards are actually essential to the muscle's survival. And soon they may help doctors help babies survive. Muscles always cling to a strong, stable surface, which helps them avoid predators. So they produce a very sticky liquid, a combination of proteins that they mold into those hairs. The muscle's foot does the work. When it emerges from the shell, grabs onto a surface sort of like a plunger would. It's the foot that secretes this thin strand of liquid protein, called a Bissell thread. Once the thread latches onto something, within a couple minutes it hardens into a strong yet flexible anchor. Then the foot retracts, leaving the thread stuck to the surface. A muscle will make dozens of these threads, as many as it needs to hold on tight. UC Berkeley researchers are studying muscles to try to create a substance with similar properties. Sticky, strong, and pliable when wet. This kind of adhesive could be especially useful for surgery on unborn babies. Surgeons make an incision in the thin amniotic sac, but there's no reliable way to make sure the incision fully closes. It's hit or miss, with a higher chance of premature births. The scientists have created their own synthetic materials to use as surgical glue. They're testing them on organic tissues like the thin membrane inside eggshells, and pieces of chicken skin, looking at how well they stick under wet conditions, how fast they harden, and how well they'll hold. Taking inspiration from the muscle and its unique wet glue may be just what the doctor ordered. So what do you think of muscles now? Comment below.


Hello and welcome to this Ospor Track Session at the Open Source Summit Europe 2020. My name is Peter Giese. I'm leading the SAP Open Source Program Office. And in this session, I would like to share with you how we have redesigned our outbound Open Source process in order to make it easy for our developers to contribute to Open Source. Open Source is of strategic importance for SAP. Accordingly, the overall responsibility for it resides with our Chief Technology Officer, Jürgen Müller, who is a member of the SAP Executive Board. Within his CTO unit, we have established the Open Source Program Office as a virtual team, consisting of 10 sub-teams, spread across four different board areas. This way we are able to tap in into the expertise of the different Open Source-related functions like legal, compliance, security or developer relations. Our Ospor has chosen SCRUM as its working mode in the same way our development teams are working. That means we have a joint backlog of tasks and we are working in four-week SCRUM sprints. At the beginning of each sprint, we do a sprint planning meeting where we jointly select which of the tasks from our overall backlog we want to tackle in the next sprint. Then for the next four weeks, we work together in six cross-functional teams comprised of the members of the virtual Ospo team to tackle these tasks. At the end of each sprint, we are doing a joint review meeting to review the results and check if they are meeting our done criteria. Our Ospo is responsible for five major areas. The first one is to define, evolve and drive our SAP Open Source strategy and policy. The second one is to manage Open Source compliance and risks. The third one is to enable and support our developers to consume Open Source and to contribute to Open Source. This point is extremely important to us because we see ourselves in Ospo as a service team which tries to remove all the friction from our processes so that the development teams can fully concentrate on their development tasks. That is also the motivation for the fourth area which is to continuously improve our Open Source processes and tools. And last but not least, our Ospo is also promoting and facilitating Inner Source at SAP for those development projects which we are not developing as Open Source. For us, managing Open Source is mainly about continuous improvement. That is why in 2018 when we established our Ospo, one of our first activities was to analyze the status of our Open Source management processes and tools. SAP's Open Source journey started mainly with Open Source consumption as is probably the case for most companies and accordingly in 2001 we already defined our inbound process in a formal way and in 2016 we did a complete redesign of it in order to significantly simplify it. That's why when we established the Ospo, our inbound process was already in great shape but on the contribution side the situation was different because our outbound process which we had formally defined in 2008 was not able to scale with the growth of contributions that we have been seeing since then from our SAP developers. That is why one of our major goals of the newly established Ospo was to completely redesign our outbound contribution process. Contributions to Open Source from SAP are coming in three major forms either as bug fixes or features to Open Source projects that had been initiated by third parties and here on the slide we have to pick just some of the projects that SAP is contributing to in this form like for instance Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry or clearly defined. On the other hand we have those Open Source projects which are initiated by our SAP development teams and also mainly different by them together of course with contributions from our partners and the Open Source community. Examples for this are for instance our Gardner project for managing large scale Kubernetes clusters or our Kuma project which is a site by site extension platform for cloud native applications. When SAP developers fix bugs in Open Source components that they are using we always encourage them to contribute those bug fixes upstream. This is a win-win situation for the according Open Source project which gets it fixed but also for SAP because when we consume future versions of the according project then we are not running into merge conflicts and merge efforts for those bug fixes again. Contributions in the form of bug fixes never required special approvals at SAP. Instead we are providing according guidelines to our developers and hold them accountable for adhering to these guidelines. Our development teams had to follow our outbound Open Source process only in cases when they wanted to contribute features or to initiate new Open Source projects themselves. Our old outbound Open Source process as defined in 2008 was comprised of six mandatory steps. The first step required our development teams to fill out a Word document with around about 30 questions about the projects that I wanted to Open Source and to submit this document by entering an according request ticket in our finance system. After that several teams reviewed the according questionnaire and only if all of them gave their approval the code scan was performed on the source code to create a bit of material and check all involved Open Source licenses. In the next step our legal IP teams reviewed it and only in case they approved everything an extra executive summary document was created for the according A2 manager to take his approval decision. Given his approval the development team could then continue to publish their project as Open Source on public GitHub. The process in this form had several pain points and deficiencies. A process execution was strictly sequential leading to unnecessary delays in the end-to-end process execution. B there was a lack of central transparency about the process date so that in case the process got stuck somewhere oftentimes nobody noticed for several days. C there were a lot of different tools involved in the process like our finance direct system word email excel with a lot of tool breaks in between creating unnecessary barriers for our teams. D there was a lot of extra effort involved to create the separate executive summary document for the A2 to take his approval decision. As a consequence the average duration from the initial outbound request submission to finally publishing the project on publicgithub.com was several months. In some exceptional cases it could even take up to a year. That is why we organized an Ospo workshop with all relevant stakeholders to completely redesign the process especially the invited representatives from all teams involved in the process as well as from our Open Source development projects. We carefully revisited every step and every document of the process to understand the original reasoning and to evaluate if there might be more lightweight alternatives. For this analysis we had defined a set of criteria the most important of which was empowerment meaning that we wanted to prefer guidelines over processes whenever possible in order not to micromanage and police our developers but to empower them by providing them with according guidelines and holding them accountable for adhering to these guidelines. The second evaluation criteria was differentiation instead of using a one-size-fits-all outbound process we wanted to differentiate between outbound Open Source feature contributions and outbound Open Source projects initiated by SAP development teams because of the fact that feature contributions are normally much smaller in size and less complex and in addition will be peer reviewed when submitting the pull request to the According Open Source project. We decided that in the future outbound Open Source feature contributions will not require to follow the SAP outbound process any longer. Instead we will provide our developers with according guidelines for feature contributions and hold them accountable for adhering to these guidelines with respect to the overall process workflow we got rid of the strict sequential execution and instead enabled parallel and optional process steps. In addition we redesigned the request submission form and drastically reduced the number of questions especially for determining if an optional step later in the process has to be executed or not. The optional step of export control classification for instance is only required if the according outbound Open Source project implements or uses encryption. Last but not least we completely removed process step number 5 which was a management approval and instead required our development teams to get approval from their responsible business owner and manager upfront to submitting the outbound open source request. As a result we could reduce the number of mandatory process steps in our new outbound process from 6 to 4. But we still had to solve the problem of the different tools involved in the process and the tool breaks between them. That is why we did a second workshop to find a better solution for the tooling. For the new tooling to support our process we defined the following list of requirements. First, there should be no tool breaks at all between the tools. Second, the tool must support collaboration for several colleagues to work on the same request at the same time. Third, for everybody involved in the process it must be possible at any point in time to review and see the current status of any request. Fourth, it must be possible to do reporting and analytics on our process so that we are able to measure maximum and average end-to-end process execution time as well as the duration of single process steps in order to find out if some of them are taking still too long and might require further fine-tuning and improvement. Fifth, the tool should be designed with our customers. That means with our developers in mind and ideally they should already be familiar with it so that they don't have to learn a new tool. Six, the tool should cover the whole process end-to-end. And seventh, ideally the tool should also be already in use at SAP. Given this list of requirements we came to the conclusion that our existing GitHub Enterprise system would be the best solution. It already fulfilled all of the requirements and would only require us to build some lightweight analytic dashboards on top of it. Of course, GitHub Enterprise is not a workflow engine per se. That's why we needed to come up with some definition and conventions of how to map our end-to-end process and workflow steps to GitHub concepts and entities. In our Enterprise GitHub we have a special outbound process organization where we model each and every outbound request as a separate GitHub repository which gets the name of your outbound project. Each repository then can contain all the documents on communication relevant for the respective request and for the final approval decision. As each outbound request requires multiple process steps and workflow steps where multiple people have to be able to work on it at the same time, we are using GitHub issues within the different request repositories to model the workflow steps. The colleagues from the development team and from the Virtual Ospo team who are required to work on the individual workflow steps are modeled as assignees to the recording issues inside of the GitHub request repository. So how does this work now in action? Whenever a team wants to submit a new outbound open source request they open our Ospo request repository and create an issue there for their new outbound request. They have to text this issue as an outbound open source request so that a GitHub action can automatically pick up the issue and then create an according outbound request repository with a project's name. The GitHub action creates a new outbound request repository by copying our outbound request template repository which contains on the one hand the assignees from the Virtual Ospo team that will work on the request and on the other hand a set of issue templates which represent all the possible outbound process workflow steps. Over the lifetime of the new request repository then all the documents that are relevant for the request and all the issues that are created to represent the different workflow steps will be also stored inside this repository. Now let's see this in action by having a look at our actual GitHub Enterprise system. Let's say I'm a developer in a team that wants to publish their project as open source. In that case I would go to the Ospo organization in our internal Enterprise GitHub into the Ospo request repository where we in general collect all the requests coming to Ospo, be it outbound open source requests or anything else. In this case I would have to create a new issue of type outbound open source request. So by pressing get started here I'm presented according issue template and all I have to do now is to enter the name of my designated open source project and then to submit my request by pressing the submit new issue button. As you can see our GitHub action automatically detected this issue and created the according outbound open source request repository for me which I can now open using this link. As you can see there is exactly one issue inside of this repository so far and this issue is exactly representing the first step of the new outbound open source process. So as a member of the development team I now would have to fill out the request form for our new outbound open source request by just clicking on it. I would then go into edit mode for this issue in order to fill out the 15 questions of the outbound open source request questionnaire. It starts with entering my name, the name of my product owner, the title of my contribution and project, a brief description of the functional scope of the project providing business reasons of why we want to contribute this project as open source to the open source community in case you're a specific deadline to be met or is it a deadline? Then it's asking me if I just want to publish my source code or also binaries for instance on Maven or NPM public repositories in my case it's just GitHub and then it would also ask me certain questions about intellectual property rights or for instance about export control. In this case for the sake of the example I'm entering that I'm using cryptography in my project but that I'm not processing any personal data. Now that I have finished the questionnaire I just have to save my changes with the update comment button and then I would leave an additional comment there as a trigger for the OSPO team to look into it. How would an OSPO team member now be informed about this new outbound open source request? For that we have created a Grafana dashboard on top of our Enterprise GitHub. The dashboard marks the new open source request as read because of the fact that it is not yet assigned to any member of the OSPO team. As an OSPO team member I can now just click on the recording line in the Grafana dashboard to open the respective request repository and assign it to myself for further processing. The next step for me as an OSPO member would be to schedule a meeting with the requesting development team to review their answers to the questionnaire and then based on their answers to initiate the next workflow steps. For instance, the code scanning step or an export control classification step. So in summary, with the new outbound process and tooling what did we achieve so far? We are getting very positive feedback from our engineers because they like the fact that the tooling is completely based on GitHub and that we are providing complete transparency to them at any point in time of the end-to-end process. In addition, the collaboration between the different OSPO team members and the development team members significantly improved due to the fact that we now have a single tool for the whole end-to-end process and no tooling breaks in between. Most important of all, we have been able to reduce the overall end-to-end processing time significantly. On average, the duration between the initial request and the publishing of the code on public GitHub decreased by 70%. In the past, normally the process itself has been the bottleneck, but now the preparation work for publishing your code and documentation and sample code on public GitHub by the dev teams is a new bottleneck. So does it mean that we are done now? Of course not. As I said in the beginning, our OSPO work is all about continuous improvement. Accordingly, we are planning further automation of our new outbound open-source process. For instance, we want to develop a self-service for repository creation on github.com and we also want to develop a new linter tool to check our repository for adherence to our SAP-specific rules and guidelines.

With that, I would like to thank you for your attention and I hope to see you soon again in person once this COVID crisis is finally over. Thank you and goodbye.


How's it going everyone? Caleb here with Leighton Sports Cards. Next night we're going to be working on a random team style break first of the night here.

not just that cities like the city of Portrait, but also in cities where we can see that we have a great, highly polarized society. So very high income, very modern, high rise, standardized formal development as well as informal development. So questions that we can have are really how can a digital trade approach be applied in informal or deprived areas to support discussions about any security, about community involvement, and to do that in a mathematical manner. It's very clear that technologies like unmanned aerial vehicles produce fantastic industry. What you see on the right is an image produced by a PhD student over at the University of New York. She was one of the first people to invent and use drugs to make imagery of a conformal settlement, and that industry was used in an upgrading project. And you can see a three centimeter spatial resolution, so you can really see enormous amounts of detail of what's going on if you compare it to the image on the left, which was formerly the best image available for example the same organism. And it also raises ethical concerns. You can imagine because the image on the left was collected by the buying aircraft or by a satellite. Nobody knew it was being taken, or the image on the right was taken. It was taken by the drawing, flying at 250 to 100 meters above the settlement. Everybody who lived there knew that that image was being taken. They were informed about it of course beforehand, but they did not fully trust what it was going to be used for and what the implications were meant to be. And it was interesting to see how quickly a community concerns become voiced in such a situation. I remember talking to Caroline who said they were the first to have a word there. Everybody was enthusiastic and it was fantastic. I thought it was fantastic to see this technology being used. They've never seen a drone before, they sort of fly, they sort of come back to the same place. It's sort of spectacular, you know. But on the second night already she was hearing concerns of people, what are you going to do with this? Why are you doing this? Are you making photographs of my house? Am I going to be elected or not? What can you see? When people see these images they also see you can have so much detail, you can almost recognize people because they're also going to be images. So it becomes issues of privacy or something like that. And actually those concerns ended up leading to a new research topic that Caroline talked about in part of her PhD research which was primarily technical in nature. How to produce the images and how to produce them. But she also added a component on the ethical issues. Finally, well, perhaps funny enough, as it turned out, the only issue that people here were worried about was whether or not somebody in the council would observe and publish on top of their proof because that must be human. The government or the President had announced that they wanted to have a very beautiful Kigali city and so anything which would detract from that image or something more than clean Kigali would be able to be punished. Nevertheless, it does point to the fact that you have to be aware of what this sort of data might be useful. The last little example I'll show is some work which was done for the city of Sampala by a master's student who graduated last week and looking at 3D modelling of slums in Sampala. And this was done by Shari Kawate. Also in the idea with the notion of trying to build a model or a 3D model of the city, of this neighbourhood or the city, which could be useful for planning purposes. The basic approach for the elements here are sort of combined here in one little process. You have a drone image producing very detailed photographs automatically. You have buildings put in shapefiles which are coming from the city, so this is data produced automatically. This is one of the traditional building for print back of the city. Generating a contour shape file from there and then combining everything into a sort of 3D point cloud. You can try to use all of those classes by the images automatically to come up with 3D model representation of the city. There are various problems associated with those technical problems in the model generation. The experts locally said it's insufficient quality for the land property registration process. But they did acknowledge there was a potential for community collaboration, improving the community, communication with the community about problems in the area that are accuracy limitations. There's further improvement in the methodology and certainly possible and they are going to be explored in the future. For example, combining these aerial images with terrestrial images is another way to proceed to get the side effects of this. And to try to lead to methods for collaborative planning and upgrading which can make really exploits these digital images and digital models more effectively. A little reflection on some of the technical issues. We're increasingly aware that the technologies that are available because of their extreme resolution and the ability to produce massive amounts of data, a very personal nature, have potential for harm. So we are also, my colleague here, I'll say, the birther is not here today unfortunately and is working with others within a project funded by the Dutch Scientific Council called Do My Harm, which is not about urban areas as such but it's about looking at areas which are affected by disasters and how the use of technology, many technologies, post-disaster can have effects, unexpected effects and unwanted effects perhaps on the communities who have been mapped. So this research is sort of talking to the notion of having a more accountable German intelligence. It's important to think about what these impacts are. We're not just looking for the best, most efficient technical fix to a problem after delivery of humanitarian aid to a particular affected community but also have to do that in a humane way which is also going to protect their interests other than pure survival. So a few conclusions. What does geospatial technology constructs mean for the other than youngers? Well, yeah, it's hard to say if you come to a sort of fixed conclusion but it's clear that the developments are really fast. At the moment it's mind-boggling how fast the technology is going and in that respect there's probably, Mr. Schwab was right, the velocity to change in this world is extreme. I think the move certainly in the more wealthier countries from 2D to 3D and 4D geospatial data is inevitable. It's already there in some countries. For example, if I were to go to Kigali tomorrow and wanted to show that there are 2D visualizations on the city they would say, come on, I need to see something dynamic, I need to see 3D, 4D, I need to see flyers. They are already in the grasp of a doctor in arms. This 4D digital twin approach. It's driven by this combination of technology, complex problems and the other cases that seemingly demand 3D and 4D solutions. But that's not the case. There's no reason why you cannot tackle problems without going down this digital twin approach. It's a choice that you can make. I think it's naive also to think that the needs and interests and values of the most disadvantaged groups will automatically be considered by the more powerful agents who are working in the geospatial knowledge infrastructure. If you look at this, this is very much a neoliberal power play, you could say. The geospatial industry today is dominated by commercial interests and that's groups like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, but also the more traditional mapping groups such as ESRI and others who work together with governments to promote a certain view of what information is needed to manage a particular city in an appropriate manner. I think we need advocacy from NGO and CEO groups to engage in more local, if not in the global geospatial knowledge development process and to ensure that reliable and credible representations of their interests and their localities are introduced in these models. If you do so, if you do engage, it's not without risk of course of being in the model, it's just the same as being on the map, it makes you visible, it gives you access to certain things that also entails risks because if you are in an important community that is being mapped it could mean that you are drawing attention from people who are interested to make use of the same location or so that you might end up being evicted. It's important also to be very critical about what is the geospatial knowledge infrastructure process means in the tradition of science and technology studies and to be concerned with the exclude for what is excluded as much as what is actually needed. So to be critical about this digital treatment, I guess the big question is is this geospatial knowledge infrastructure fit for purpose in terms of government? I can't answer that question. Time will tell. Taking us into this fascinating world of digital twins, and so I can imagine it has raised a simple interest and questions. Let's see, can I have a show of hands who would like to make comment, ask a question. Did you have your hand up there? Were there, there, we have questions. Thank you.


Depression can be difficult to explain. Like any mental illness, it feels different for every person. But we it's like to go on to bring people together to both share their experience and maybe even help others out. So we asked our readers and viewers, who has experienced depression and how would you explain what it feels like to others? Here we've made a list of 16 analogies for depression. Disclaimer, some submissions have been edited for length and or clarity. Number one. It's like you have weights built into your arms and legs. They're heavy and they make any basic activity feel like I'm dragging around dumbbells that are too much for me. Number two. It's like you're screaming in pain but there's no sound coming out of you. Number three.   Your mind is. It sucks in anything that might make you feel emotion and it turns it into darkness. Number four. Depression feels like I'm in black and white and the rest of the world is in color. I can't be a part of it no matter how much I might want to. I don't belong. Number five. It's like a prison without bars. You're trapped by an invisible force preventing you from being happy. Number six. It's like the waves of the ocean. Sometimes the waves recede and you see the beautiful sand with the pretty seashells. Soon the tide will come and swallow all that beauty up and drag it away from you. What helped me fight that feeling is knowing that the waves will recede again. Number seven. For me it's like a heavy mist. Sometimes it's far enough away but at other times it presses me down. It can enter your body and lungs, brain, stomach and limbs. Everything feels sick. As if you haven't had fresh air in a while and it's exhausting and frustrating. Number eight. To me it's completely like the dementors from Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling's representation of that struggle was on point. Number nine. A fog that lingers in the early morning sky. Never completely fading, always present and blurring your vision. Number ten. It feels like being in the middle of a large body of water without seeing shores. Something tugs at your leg and you struggle to keep your head above the surface. You gasp and struggle but it's exhausting and tiring and frightening at the same time. Sometimes you truly doubt if you'll ever make it out of there if the thing tugging on your leg will ever let go. Number eleven. To me it feels like being snowed in by an avalanche. You're disoriented and you don't know which way is up so you dig tirelessly in the wrong direction while being starved of oxygen. Everything around you is cold and looks the same. Number twelve. It's a weight on your chest holding you down. No matter what you do it stays there and it spreads throughout your body and everything else takes more effort than ever. Number thirteen. It's like trying to run underwater.  Number fourteen. For me depression was an old TV that lost its signal. All colorful images turned into noisy strange black and white mess of spots. All of the good things I'd lost and all of the bad things I've still got. Sounds turned into buzzing noises and my favorite things everything I liked turned invisible. Number fifteen. It's like all of the joy was sucked from my body. In my chest is nothing only emptiness and I'm bearing the weight of the world on my shoulders. Everything that I loved makes no sense anymore.  It's just feeling nothing at all. Number sixteen. The feeling of being chained around your neck, connected to all of your fears and getting tugged around ruthlessly until you choke. And that's our list. Maybe you can use one of these to explain your problems to the people in your surroundings who have trouble understanding what you're going through. If you've experienced depression and have your own analogy then feel free to share in the comments below.


Our use case is called the Lightbox Gallery and it concerns a new space in the newly renovated Harvard Art Museums which will be opening in November of 2014 in the upcoming academic year and our charge was to essentially figure out what to do with that space in particular to figure out what kinds of digital media could be used to enrich, to broaden the experience of museum goers of students of courses that are using the museum and to reflect that experience out beyond the museum walls to broader communities. So the progress that we've made is to explore the really broad and diverse territory of questions about how museums are used, what they mean to people, the ways in which they produce knowledge, the ways in which they contain or withhold knowledge in the form of collections that are very difficult to easily share and interpret with broader audiences. So we've done a lot of kind of meta-thinking about what museums are and how they work, how that gets expressed in space, how that gets expressed through media and then to take that thinking and apply it to a set of kind of design propositions. The idea being to present the museum leadership with a kind of actionable proposal for actually developing space, developing a curatorial agenda for it, developing display technology and furnishings for it and integrating it into a visitor experience. So in the next month we're going to be offering two presentations to museum leadership, a kind of draft proposal where we're going to show them sketches of design interventions and propose a kind of coordinated program for the space. We'll get feedback from them and then in March we'll present a final presentation, the idea being then that the museum will let us know what they think can be done, what of our proposal can be funded, what we might like to participate in a campaign to fund and ways in which to go forward in programming the space in the year to come and be on.


Hello everybody and welcome back to my vlog to my channel. I apologize now for the overall quality of this for the video, the video capture software that I was using has now decided I can't use it anymore until I get the professional version. I have an older version of professional debut video capture on an old hard drive and I shall seek that out later so I'm not paying another £30 for this software. I'll seek that out later and we'll get better videos from there but I just wanted to show you this. So this is a loopback test with and I'm using the box at the moment as a stand but with this Sound Blaster A9 from Creative. It's lovely, it's good but the problem is is between this and this is a big old long wire which plugs into this bit here. Now for most things that's not a problem but when you're trying to do a loopback and you want to do audio measurements with it which is you know I don't play on the games anymore I've got a sort of gaming rig underneath this desk but it's you know it's I don't really plan it anymore but that's what I bought the sound card for I thought yeah it's got great numbers to it and it'd be good but I didn't think it through completely and now I realise that having that big distance between the auxiliary input on the back of this and the outputs here is a problem all right it is a problem if that wire at the back was all coiled up nice and tight to it probably wouldn't be so bad but it's nice outstretched and that doesn't work very well for what we want so it's being used as a box for now Creative has said I can send it back which is nice but I was trying to say that I was going to buy an x5 but I got something for doing the job that I want it to I can send it to be better so this is what you get with that we're going to zoom into the numbers because it might be easier for me to do it like this so let's look at it like this all right everything's going as close as we can to the calibration of 0.03 dbfs okay so that's the total armament distortion and that's total armament distortion plus a noise now if you run this down to negative 20 and we're not pushing full power the numbers do look much better they do look much better and most people wouldn't be running this to such a high number anyway and if you see here look we got minus 99.96 db on the three kilohertz I thought I'd show that because you can almost see coming against here this is 80 minus 80 db which explains these numbers here all right so now we're going to look at another that I got which was this I'm probably better off just backing that out a bit this focus rights scarlet 212 this is the fourth generation for the artist again I didn't buy it because I want to be a singer-songwriter or playing in musical instruments or anything like that I just thought I wanted to check it and just see what it's going to be like let me put that down and this is the result from that one let me put it there and as you can see much better if we just go straight into that three kilohertz over here you can see down here it's minus 109.3 db let me just zoom in for that and we can look at those got as close as I could to the minus 3 dbfs it's a little bit twitchy on the gain because the gain on that particular knob on it is there's a lot of gain I think it's 69 db it's got a gain and so you tweak it a little tiny bit we're going up to you know it was that's as close as I could get it but still again look at the thd in the noise book the thd that's nice we've got three zeros after the point lovely lovely and even with the noise there we got a two zeros one line putting it very close to that what we want and that's for that now this costs £274 all in with the delivery and such that's a lot of money a lot of money that costs 200 and that and sorry that was £174 that was the cheapest I could find it on ebay even on they're normally around about £200 but £174 was the cheapest I could find it now the one that wins the one that wins I'm gonna look at those numbers on the old the focus right scarlet ti2 it's pretty darn good but the one that actually wins is the one that's actually on now and this here if we just look just again at the the winning one there on the three kilohertz minus 109 or 109 and then here we've got minus 122.12 and our numbers again are very nice for this that's what we're talking about that's nice and this card that's in there cost me £30 I'm going to admit it's a second hand card but it cost me £30 what card is it you might ask well £30 yes you could set up your rig like this you could have a nice little test scenario like this and it's a Xona Xona I'm going to put it up on the screen here Xona DX2 30 pounds that's what it cost me look you can see it there I bought that and you bought this item 30 pounds and so I've decided this is what I'm going to be using all right this is what I'm going to be using for taking the measurements because even this 2k what is the keyboard for this even the 2k there oh let's just go drop down here's a minus 1.1638 and these numbers down here absolutely lovely so that's it I just wanted to show you very quickly I'm going to tell you now as well that the cables do make a difference even if you get a long wire make sure you quail it up nice and tight and don't be holding it when you take your measurements because that will introduce some noise this is using a small cable I've used several small cables and they all seem to don't make the same but that's that's how you want to do it with us anyway when you're doing a loopback so all you're trying to do is well let me just get this sorted out is benchmark in actual fact we've got some benchmark results as well more right mark results let me have a quick little look in here you can see all the measurements have been taken and you can see them all down here as well and you can see them here where we go to the onboard sound cards cable tests for the soundblaster 89 with the rca's on board with the rca's and all this down here but what we got here as well is the onboard for the rma let me just put this up for you for those who like the numbers i'm gonna make that bigger and somehow here we go make that bigger so for those who like those numbers we can see here i've done them at different bits and frequencies 16 bit 48 kilohertz 16 bit 96 16 bit 192 24 bit 48 and 24 bit you know you can look over this itself but yeah see the frequency response we get to see the noise levels and this is for the onboard so the onboard is my sound card that's built into my main board and i'm using a it's asus b450 tomahawk all right but look at the total harmonic distortion and this is running this this when you do the test on this you do it as close as you can to minus 1 db m what minus 1 db so this you know it looks again pretty good pretty good pretty good uh the stereo cross talk bit doesn't look as good when i show you the other ones uh but there you can look look at look through this i think it's the 24 48 that works out to be the best overall pretty much uh and on the 16 bit that doesn't look too bad at all all right so that's that one now i'm gonna go straight to the next one i'm not sure like any i would do it down here so now we look at the focus right uh i'm gonna have that one as close as we can to there so this is the onboard still let's go rid of that where's the focus right on there it is and here we go so again it's pushing it to that um as close to one minus one db as possible and so this is uh but this is at uh minus 3.1 on there the reason why that is is again it's very very sensitive on the old gain on the on the gain here on the big volume control all good but on this one very very sensitive very very hard to get it in the right place uh cross talk's better and the noise floor is better as you can see we get up to this sort of area here for the 24 bit and the noise floor is better this is a little addition um because because i didn't test it in this mode i've done a test 24 bit 176 and that would be 0.4 kHz and it gives us a much better um a much better result we're going to noise level now of um minus 115 dynamic range 115.6 and total i'm on extortion 0.00068 and the um with the noise intermodulation and the noise 0.0099 still not quite as good as a as the sound card zona but it's still a much better result from what we were seeing uh on the other slide on the other on the other output i thought i'd better just add that now you get to see what this um asus zona uh is um 16 bit 48 look at the look at the um look at the difference look at the cross talk as well stereo cross talk how far that is down minus 95 minus 94 minus 101 um much better i didn't do it on the 32 bit because it doesn't have any um specifications for its own 32 bit because it doesn't do it it does at 24 up to 192 kHz and this is lovely and this is lovely and again we get to see pretty much where it's working the best uh 24 bit 96 i would say personally between there and there 24 bit 48 but still very very good very very good and it out and it you know beats the other two so there you get 29 pound second hand sound card absolute brilliant i'm not listening to it for sound i expect it to be very good but that's not what i bought it for i bought it for to do these tests i wanted something with a lower noise floor and um a bit more resolution and now we can have a 24 bit resolution beautiful right that's it i hope you enjoyed that and i'll catch you in the next one bye
