Okay, Julian for those of you that aren't familiar with Burgos and Aries We typically aren't supposed to really like get along in a dating environment.  It's easy to date you because you're sweet like sugar. Julian is a typical Aries. He is a tornado. He likes to cook with vigor and fury. I get things done really fast. I'm efficient. I don't waste time. Whereas I like to follow all the directions and make sure that nothing is a mess and that everything is neat and no one gets hurt. We don't go to the hospital. It always amazes me that you guys like to watch these because we're both vegan. Julian has celiac disease so everything that we eat needs to also not have gluten in it. I'm diseased. He's diseased. When he said he wanted cannolis I was a little blown away because I don't think I've had a cannoli since I lived in Boston and I was like there's no way there's a vegan gluten-free cannoli. But leave it to Pinterest Beach. I found this recipe on gluten-free pallet. Someone has done it. Someone has made a recipe and we are following that. We're going to use it as a rough guideline for what we're doing today. No, we're using it. We're going to reference it from time to time but we're going to take the lead. This requires a deep fryer or like to fry things in oil so I don't want to mess around Julian because someone's going to get hurt. Frying things in oil is literally the best time to mess around. 350 degrees. No, no, no. Not 355. Okay fine. 360. 360.  This is what it's like. Like I know you guys see parts of it but like it tests me every day because half the time you do that and you catch it and the other half we go to the ER.  You are a lot. We love you. You're a lot to love. I'm a lot. As a formality I have all the measuring cups even though we're generally going to be just... You're going to find a way to get every single one of them dirty too. I have all of it. Which one of us is the Susan chef and cut? We were going to cut this recipe in half but it gives you this little yeast that we have to... One and a third cups of water. So put the yeast in this little bowl. You're getting yeast everywhere! I'll take these to the trash okay. You don't have to stir things with your finger. You can use like a utensil or a spoon.  Did you wash your hands? Yeah. A couple hours ago. Come on! See how I did that without getting flour everywhere? Like it's possible. It took you like 20 minutes though. If you believe. See what I'm going to do right now? Instead of taking this and throwing it across the kitchen, I'm going to put it in the garbage. Riveting. See this? You just ripped it off and threw it. How much sugar? Three cups. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That's powdered sugar. Because I thought it only went in the filling. That's the filling. Oh, oh, sorry. Just like weed. I thought two tablespoons of granulated sugar. We had the wrong sugar the whole time. Two tablespoons. No, this is for the filling. Like if I don't catch a little stuff like that, we end up with a nightmare all the time. Two tablespoons. That's very different than three cups of powdered sugar. We're like baking, so it needs to be like relatively exact. I'll go put this back. Nothing. Cinnamon. Don't, we're not ready for that yet. We're just getting it ready. What does it shortening? It looks like butter. Ew. No, no, no, throw that out. Okay. They have these things called cannoli molds where they're like a metal tube similar to this where you like wrap the cannoli around and you fry it like that so it keeps it shape. We couldn't find any. We couldn't find any. So I bought like a baster that can withstand 500 degree heat and we're just going to use that. This better work. I want cannolis. Here we're adding two tablespoons of oil. Any kind of oil works. That's not true. You want to go a little faster? No, I think this is good and careful. I can't believe how slow you're doing this. Don't put your face in it. I was giving it love. I was giving it eye contact and love. Okay, give it. First of all, give it some eye contact and love. Okay, don't overwork it or else they're going to come out really tough. Just enough to form a dough ball. I don't want no pansy little cannoli. I want a tough, weathered, strong cannoli. That's not how baking works. I don't think. I want a cannoli that is an independent cannoli that don't need no man cannoli. As with gluten free things, it'll get kind of crumbly. We have to do this a lot with stuff. We get like an egg replacement. You see this? He was a glass bowl on top of a dish towel so that it's like ready to fall at any second. Are you done with this? No. Yes, you are. No, I'm still using it. If I wasn't so diseased, you could just make normal flour things. All right. So we're going to cover it and hold it in the fridge for 10 minutes. And then we're going to... Oh, Julian! 30 minutes. Or 10, whatever you feel like. We're getting ready to make the cream filling. I got the bowl. Oh, God. It's me. It's me. Yeah, boy, Julian. Thanks for giving me all this energy, Casemore. We're adding a half a cup of... Earth balance. Earth balance, buddy. Because we're balanced. We're not imbalanced. Half a cup of palm shortening. You got to do it like that. And then immediately after this step, you have to send five emails off of your phone screen. All right. I got a quarter cup of vegan ricotta right here. I'm going to make a tower over here of all the ingredients that we've used. Sweet. And the last one, I'm going to dump from up here. Start on high. No. Put it in the bowl so it doesn't like splash everywhere. I wonder how it tastes. No, no, no, no. This is what I'm doing right now. This is so good. It's really nutritious, too. Put that in the fridge. I'm going to just take these out for science. I got on my hand and not on my shirt. Why did you have to do that right into that bowl? We just made that. Throw that out. Second free throw. Throw that out. Which one do you want me to throw out? Both of them. I guess we'll see what happens. Look at you go, girl. But it's all like lean, cracky. It could be worse. At least it's sticking together. I think we're going to make them a little bit small. Small cannolis. Cannellinis. Cannellinis. It's too thick. Let's just see what it looks like wrapped around here. Hold on. Should we flour this? I just want them to get too dry. I have so many concerns. I'm pretty impressed with that. Careful, it's not stick. It's not. It just did. Now you broke it apart. Why don't we try frying this one? Why would you fry one at a time? It's so dumb. Like that? Yeah. And then lower it. There you go. I did it. You did it so well, Jenna. All right. Now you make the next one. Wow. All the stuff is deep-fired. I feel like it's dangerous. Oh, that came out really good. You were right. Oh. Oh, yeah. Take it out. It's already so dark. It's in three to four minutes. Ah, my hand is on there. So just grab the pipe with your hand. Oh, my God. Just wait till that cools a little bit. I don't like this. Should we put the top on? Yeah. Okay. Wow, this one came out so fat. It's like fried dough. Wait. How do I get this off? It's stuck on there forever. It's not. Just... It's stuck to it. It's dead. What do you have? It's not dead. It'll work. I mean, aside from breaking it, it looks pretty nice. It's a little more like fried dough texture. Mm-hmm. I mean, it's good. But they're like soft cannolis. I don't think we can get them thinner though, right? It's not good and fried. Why are you moving that? Oh, my God. My name is so not as thin. You almost knocked that glass off the counter with a deep fryer. Mm-hmm. Look at them right now. Julian. And also, like, I don't want to hear all this slander about you grandmother making cannolis and this being an abomination. Look, okay? We know. I just like food. You're kind of like puffy and fat, though. Kermit, what are you eating? I feel like the picture on this Pinterest is not the cannolis that she made. That's very possible. Oh, one already came apart. Ah. This is the best we've done so far. Like, if you put powdered sugar on that, it's fried dough. Is that a dish? Mm-hmm. Like a funnel cake? Mm-hmm. It's so good. Ooh, this one's looking really good, Julian. We should have never made these. It was really good. Like, they're looking better and better. Yeah, one at a time is the way to go. How would you fry one at a time? It's so dumb. Like, I've suggested. Let me see.  That one is beautiful. Uh-oh, that one popped off.  Yeah, it is really difficult. Oh my God. Like piping hot oil coming out like it's strong. It's like my nightmare every time. Like I'm freaking out. I'm just going to try and like squeeze it in there, I guess. Oh, it's coming out the other side.  You best me beach. Look at that. Damn. It actually like looks kind of nice.  Okay, so this one's a butter maker right here. This one's going to win us contests. Oh, look at you. Give me the other side, beach. Yeah, you got to like give it some pressure. It sticks in there. Oh, you can have that one. You can have the good one. Look at what you did. It looks nice. I mean, I'm too lazy to put powdered sugar on it, but like that's what he would do, right? Cheers. Oh, yours sounds crunchy. Mmm. It is good. It tastes like a cannoli. It sort of tastes like a cannoli. It's definitely like not as crunchy as a cannoli. And the filling is like sort of like a cannoli, but not exactly. But it is the closest thing I've ever had to a cannoli. It's beautiful. I mean, regardless, it is still really good.  Honestly, all that I care about is that it's like a nice doughy outside that tastes good with a really sweet inside. You can make an open, an open noli, like a noli taco. Make a noli taco. Oh. Oh, that's gross. Make a little salsa on top. Oh, that one is crunchy. Mm-hmm. Noli tacos, dude. Is that another thing? Okay. That is the perfect texture. We should fry them like that. How'd you get it like that?   I'm gonna drown them. You stick. I'm not super pleased with the amount of mess that's going on. There's no mess. What mess? We're gonna make some cannoli tacos. Cacos. The texture came out when you just let them do what they want. Well, I know that we've sold everyone super hard on the idea of being gluten-free cannolis because ours came out so well. But what I do hope you take away from this is whatever your dietary restrictions are, if you have any, just make whatever you want. You know what I'm saying? I want to make your cocoa. I want to make your cocoa. Is it cooled off? Yeah. That ratio is all off. Clean it up. Give me a little. No, no, no, no, no. Make it like nice and even. No, all the way. No. You don't listen to my vision and then you just put your vision onto it. This is really good.  Or a poop. No pulling things out of the deep fryer until everyone in the room is ready.  Right? What did I say? Stop. You're going to burn me. Maybe it's not the shape you're familiar with, but it's the taste and the texture. Why are you holding my wrist? To prevent you from doing anything. I want my wrist back. I just want to put butter on this one. Thank you for letting me be in your kitchen. You're not always allowed in here, but when you are, it's under supervision. The dogs are going to eat that. Peach just ate it. It's really good. Subscribe, Peach. It is possible for a Virgo and an Aries to function in the kitchen. You can make some magic together.  And a louder, more boisterous shout-outs to all my Aries out there. For what? Keep going. You're like a lot though. Except move faster. At least I didn't stick acrylic nails into a banana today. We did make cannolis, but we also invented something. Kakos. Kakos. Something similar to downtown LA. J&J's Kakos. Come on in for a 5 for a Kakoku's day. I'm going to drink that later. Don't, no. You're not going to drink this later. I hope this inspires all my other Virgo Aries couples out there. You can make it work as long as you control your Aries. Thank you and you're welcome. All right. That's it. Make sure you subscribe to my channel. I put out a new video on Wednesday, Thursday, June 10. Why? Like, what did anyone ever do to you? Ow. It's hot. Hands? Okay. Our hands are done. Keep them to yourself. That's funny. It's not funny. It's not funny. Oh, I love you. I need to text someone. I'll see you guys next week.


The experts have no idea how many COVID-19 cases there are, by Ryan MacMacon, an audio Mises Weyer narrated by Million Quinteros. In the early days of the COVID-19 panic, about three weeks ago, it was common to hear both of these phrases often repeated. The fatality rate of this virus is very high. There are far more cases of this out there than we know about. The strategy of insisting that both these statements are true at the same time has been used by politicians to implement lockdowns that have forced business to close and millions to lose their jobs. For instance, on March 12th, Ohio Department of Health Director Amy Acton insisted that over 100,000 people are carrying this virus in Ohio today. The state began to implement stay-at-home lockdown orders that day. At the time, the World Health Organization, or WHO, the media, and others were reporting that 2-4% of people with COVID-19 would die. Taking the low-end 2% number and allowing for an incubation period, this would mean that two weeks after Acton's announcement, assuming that the lockdown was 100% effective and not a single additional person caught the disease, 2,000 Ohioans would likely be dead of COVID-19. But as of April 17th, more than a month later, and after a month of the disease spreading through grocery stores and other essential areas of commerce, about 418 Ohioans have died of COVID-19. Clearly, something doesn't add up. At the time, Acton was lampooned by some for presumably inflating the number of infections in the state. Indeed, the very next day she backpedaled, saying she was only guessing. As more research comes in, however, it may be that Acton wasn't wildly inaccurate in her guesstimate after all. Medical researchers and epidemiologists are increasingly claiming that the COVID-19 virus has spread much more quickly and is much more prevalent than has long been assumed. And if that is true, then the percentage of people with COVID-19 cases that result in death are far lower than is assumed. If so, Acton was still wrong, but she was more wrong in her assumptions about fatality rates than about total cases. Here's why. When people say death rate or fatality rate, they generally mean case fatality rate or CFR. This is simply the number of people who die from a disease divided by the number of cases. If there are 10,000 cases and 100 people die from the disease, the CFR is 1%. This is not to be confused with mortality rate, which is the number of deaths divided by the entire population. To calculate the CFR accurately, we have to know what the total number of cases is and also know how many people have died from the disease. If the total number of cases is bigger than we think, then the fatality rate is smaller than we think. How Death Rates Are Affected by Government Data Collection Methods Knowing the number of deaths has been far easier than counting total cases. Due to severity bias, people who have presented severe symptoms or have died have been far more likely to be tested for COVID-19 than half people with few symptoms who never required medical attention. As one epidemiologist quoted by The New York Times noted, To know the fatality rate, you need to know how many people are infected and how many people died from the disease. Ali H. Mukdad, a professor of health metric sciences at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. We know how many people are dying, but we don't know how many people are infected.  But as the Times article concludes, the missing data on deaths in the deaths to infection ratio is still almost certain to be dwarfed by the expected increase in the denominator when the total number of infections is better understood, epidemiologists say. The statistic typically cited by mayors and governors at COVID-19 news conferences relies on a data set that includes mostly people whose symptoms were severe enough to be tested. Put another way, the case totals often cited by politicians are nothing more than wild guesses. Indeed, many researchers and other observers have claimed that total cases numbers were considerably higher than was known from testing. Vermont could have 16 times more infections than officially reported. One March 18 headline reads, but this estimate doesn't apply just to Vermont. The headline comes from a nationwide estimate of cases from Stanford epidemiologist, Steve Goodman. Goodman says the 16 times multiplier is a rough back of the envelope hypothetical based on current knowledge of how the virus is spreading in other places. It assumes that one in four people who have COVID-19 are symptomatic enough to be tested. Another researcher, Samuel Scarpino, a Northeastern University professor who specializes in infectious disease modeling, told The Globe that the U.S. has identified only between one of every 10 cases and one in 30 cases. Similarly, in the Wall Street Journal on March 23, Stanford researchers Aaron Bendavid and Jay Bhattacharya suggested the known cases were a tiny fraction of the actual number. According to a study by Bendavid and Bhattacharya, we get at least 990,000 infections in the U.S. The number of cases reported on March 19 in the U.S. was 13,677, more than 72 fold lower. These numbers imply a fatality rate from COVID-19 orders of magnitude smaller than it appears. If our surmise of 6 million cases is accurate, that's a mortality rate of 0.01%, assuming a two-week lag between infection and death. This is one-tenth of the flu mortality rate of 0.1%. On Friday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported on a new study of Santa Clara County in California, which suggests that cases are being under-reported by a factor of 50 to 85. If the study's numbers are accurate, the true mortality and hospitalization rates of COVID-19 are both substantially lower than current estimates. And due to lag between infection and death, researchers project a true mortality rate between 0.12 and 0.20. That U.S. case fatality rate of 2-4%, commonly reported by politicians and media outlets, is looking less likely every day. What does this mean for policy? If the Santa Clara study, or the estimates of Bindavid and Badacharia, apply to the nation overall, then the current count of 710,000 COVID-19 cases in the U.S. is only a small fraction of the total number of people with the disease. The true number of cases could number from 35 million to 60 million. In a nation with such a large number of infected, efforts to forcibly shutter businesses and put millions out of work until there are no new cases, no deaths, as suggested by federal health bureaucrat Anthony Fauci, are absurd. This goal is likely unattainable without completely ending interstate travel and destroying the U.S. economy over a period of many months or possibly years. Moreover, some epidemiological models being used by politicians to justify harsh lockdowns, like the IMHE model, assume fatality rates based only on cases reported to calculate the CFR. This highlights the highly questionable practice of basing draconian public policy measures on woefully incomplete government-collected data. From the very beginning, neither the WHO nor rational governments have ever had a handle on how many cases there are, what the case fatality rate is, or by what means or how quickly the disease spreads. One need not know anything about viruses to know from the beginning of the panic that the process of collecting data for government policymakers tends to be a biased and makeshift undertaking. This is true of all sorts of data, and in this case, policymakers have never known how many cases there are or were, but have nonetheless quoted numbers that suited their political purposes. Meanwhile, government officials have been encouraging doctors and hospital administrators to maximize the number of reported deaths due to COVID-19. Worst of all, this make things up as you go attitude toward COVID-19 numbers is being draped in the mantle of science by bureaucrats and elected officials who seek to pander to frighten voters. But somewhere along the line, the United States became a nation where knowing next to nothing about a disease's true fatality rate or prevalence is sufficient to justify abolishing the Bill of Rights and millions of jobs throughout the nation. But it's fine apparently because this is what the experts say we should do. Update April 20th. Over the weekend, several new articles have been published noting increased prevalence of COVID-19 than previously known or admitted. The AP reports today. A flood of new research suggests that far more people have had the coronavirus without any symptoms, fueling hope that it will turn out to be much less lethal than originally feared. While that's clearly good news, it also means it's impossible to know who around you may be contagious. That complicates decisions about returning to work, school and normal life. In the last week, reports of silent infections have come from a homeless shelter in Boston, a US Navy aircraft carrier, pregnant women at a New York hospital, several European countries and California. In more than 10 states, the proportion of tests that are positive is nearly 20% or more. But even this may be too low, since tests may return false negatives nearly one-third of the time. Meanwhile, one new study in Massachusetts found one-third of people randomly tested on the street tested positive for COVID-19. For more content like this, visit Mises.org.


This study investigated the effectiveness of STEM applications on fourth-grade elementary school students' problem-solving skills. The study used a convergent parallel design framework, combining quantitative and qualitative methods. The results showed that the experimental group had significantly higher PSIC scores than the control group after 10 weeks of STEM application. Qualitatively, the students reported enjoying the STEM activities and wanting them to continue in future classes. This article was offered by Razitz Engine, Tugs Kavok, Ganka Kisisi, and others.


Image in the in the video. Yeah, absolutely. That's fine. I think that's a great idea. Just let's let's talk about confidence for a minute Let's let's do this. Let's let's run around the room and let's just talk about Let's each one of us take a minute and a half two minutes and talk about what we think about Confidence something we could show from a body language perspective that would give us confidence that we could tell everybody to use You don't do that.  So I when you're talking about confidence Let's talk about it in fake it till you make it because if you're not confident Then you're gonna be worried about what you're doing what you need to do is project open this project that you're comfortable We often say that the most powerful person in the room is one who moves the least We don't mean you don't walk you stand against the wall. We mean you don't fidget you don't do a lot of that So what we need you to do is to open get your chin up to normal level like that Parallel to the floor and any insecurity that's in your body. Just let it flow through your feet That's a really powerful tool and if you don't have those today You can create some subroutines for what you think confident people do and practice them until you start to feel more safe What we know is that doing those kinds of things will make you feel more confident because your thinking brain will come back online when you're under stress and What I suggest to people all the time is start with a low stress situation and build your way up Because the first time you walk in front of you know an audience and start doing this You might feel weird But if you don't think anybody's watching you're walking through a mall doing it You'll probably feel okay, and we all after all build on process what humans work When you remember when you're talking to that guy we're Dr. Phil's and we talked to yeah for some reason we're talking to a witness or something or a jury person jury member Yeah, it was a jury member.  That's it You can still burn off that energy like Greg said by squishing your toes in your feet and remember that if you're walking into a Rolex store no one knows how much money you have oh, they're gonna go off of how you're acting So whether or not you have like some big platinum card in your wallet or not is gonna be rooted on how you're behaving because nobody can See that so the permission is within yourself and give yourself the role of being the most Comfortable person in the room. Can I out comfort the other people mark? Yeah, just so you know if you're walking into a Rolex store you should have been on the list like years ago You're not Anyway, but but go in have a browse have a browse and I mean what a great thing actually go into a Rolex store Have a browse because they haven't got any to sell you anyway So so you know give yourself permission to just walk around knowing that actually You should be more confident than they are because they have no supply and they've done it to themselves now Here's what I would suggest is make sure you really complete your actions And here's why confidence look there is one argument to say confidence is something that you have There's another argument if you talk about the word confides with trust It literally means with trust feed a trust on with with trust is that other people must trust you For you to be seen as confidence My guess is is that's probably what you want is is not only your own confidence But you want to be seen as confident they need to trust you So they need to know that you will do what you're suggesting you're going to do and they're seeing that in your movement So if you make a gesture out make sure that gesture completes if you go to have a drink make sure my lord make sure you complete That because if you go to have a have a drink and your You You don't reservation Right, it's like what's going on with you like if you can't decide whether you're having a drink or not How can I trust you with my thoughts? How can I trust you with the relationship?  That will give you more internal confidence Here's what I'd say is is don't start so much with yourself because you've got to battle your own thoughts Start externally and there'll be all kinds of people who disagree with this But start externally because it's the fastest most effective Intervention into how you're thinking and feeling is from the external world not from the internal or spiritual World Scott what are your thoughts on it? I agree with all that one thing when I'm training people to When they're undercover officers one thing you want to do is train not to be completely confident There's some things that that that I show them how to do how to look like you're not the most comfortable So you don't stick out so you don't stand out because you're supposed to be a drug dealer You're supposed to be somewhere. You're not supposed to be You've got to sort of blend in so the things you do you keep your shoulders down and you may look around some Fidget around your pocket scratch in places that you wouldn't normally scratch because you don't care if anybody's looking at you're not You're you're not Acting as if somebody may be looking at you you do those types of things and you make all those little perky jerky movements and stuff and and maybe not move around so much you draw attention but move move around enough So it doesn't look like you've got your head together and you're thinking one time We were in a restaurant in Nashville and I looked over into the the bar area We're eating and I saw a guy standing there He looked like the most confident guy in the world and I realized this is somebody I'd trained before and I knew I and he Wasn't there to to hang out in the bar with and and meet women or have drinks or whatever He was there working and I knew that and so I walked up to I said hey man And the last thing you want to share for your cop is you remember me Because that means you do you either rested or you've done something and there's you're probably gonna end up With a situation when so I walked up and said hey, man, you remember me. He said No, I said I'm the one that taught you not to stand this way and act this way I said you're gonna get us all killed in here, man. You got to be careful You used to you're standing out like a dang red flag up in here.  I was like dude you look too good. Not that some aren't clean That's not what I'm saying But in this situation he to look like it was a little rough and he didn't and he was showing all the things of confidence He was standing standing up sat up straight has head up like this He wasn't moving a whole lot when he didn't look around he looked like this Whoever he was talking to was looking at him straight in the eyes He was talking to him the whole time didn't blink a lot a whole lot nothing who's in all the classic Cues of confidence and I said this goes against everything about I wait for the other guy Once the situation had had that he was dealing with it was gone That's what I approached and I said you you gotta stop doing this man You're you're this whatever you just did I'd I'd get rid of that Oh that that connection because that's gonna raise a lot of red flakes for that guy as well They know what to look for if you look too confident It's not gonna work. So when you're looking confident You will look the opposite of what what I'm training people look like most of the time is not confident in those things So like everybody else in here has been talking about you got to be still you got to talk at us at a solid level You got to don't make your voice go up and go down and all those kind of things as you're talking and when you're talking to someone Look at them. They're the only like like Bill Clinton does. They're the only person in the world. That's how you that's that's charisma that and people Mistake a lot times confidence for this really great charisma and stuff But it's not if you just look at someone when they're talking to you try to blink a lot Don't stare at him like you're a psychopath or anything. Don't get a psychopathic stare But engage with them when you engage with make sure they're the only person in the whole world Those those are things I would suggest for confidence


Well, hi everybody. It's Sandy. Welcome to my YouTube channel where today I'm going to show you how to make a slider card. These are not new by any means, but I haven't made one in ages if I've ever made one at all. And I thought I would use this brand new Waffle Flower set because they send it to me as part of their new release and asked if I would show how to color it. So I'm very excited to be able to do that. The shark can be dressed up in pirate outfits and shell skirts or grass skirts. There's a surf board. There's little swords that they can hold. All kinds of fun can be had for both little boys and little girls who are into pirates. And I think this would be very, very cute for any cards for them. So I'm going to do a slider card. These are normally called penny slider cards. I'm not sure if I should call it a dime slider card because I realize dimes are thinner than pennies. So I thought I'd do that.  And this is probably one of my most ever used dies. I don't use a lot of them multiple times. And over a long period of time, but this one is just part of my staple because there's always a good reason to have a good curve, right? So I'm cutting two pieces and there's going to be a gap in the middle for my dimes to go through. And I have just the white one is Nina so I can color on it. And the blue one is some Simon Says card stock. And I'm going to use these power tabs in the center of my dimes because we need to create a little thing to slide down the card. I'm going to use about two thirds of one of these. I tried it at first using a full power tab, which does fit in the dime. But you want enough room around the edges of the coins for them to actually travel through the channels. So if you've ever tried this with pennies and had trouble with them that I have some other tips during this video that are going to help you to keep it from sticking and not sliding through.  So I wanted a little sand bank on a corner of my scene. And then I wanted to put a little a couple little palm trees in there. So I decided to mask them out and I used my post-it tape for the more delicate items. Post-it notes were great for just that shape at the bottom. But the post-it tape works better when you've got a piece that you want the whole thing to be held down. So I've got my my little tree and I'm going to cut out just the right hand side because I don't need the left hand side cut. I can just leave it there. Well that's that's my kitty punch in the background if you can hear him. So now I'll stamp my second tree. I have that all ready in my scene. And as soon as I pulled that up I realized wait a minute I want to go use another image in the stamp set. So there was a little treasure chest and I put my mask back so I could put the treasure chest behind the hillside as well. And now I'm going to stamp on a piece of heavy-duty Nina. I realized that for the slider part that's going to be in the front and flip around I wanted heavier cardstock so it'll hold up better because obviously interactive cards kids and adults both I guess are going to play with them. So I'm stamping it on a piece of 110 pound Nina.  And when you stamp things like that just go from the front to the back. So I stamp the skirt first then the shark and then the surfboard. I'm going to color this with some Copic markers and I'm going to keep the coloring pretty simple because Waffle Flower said that since they don't usually do things that are coloring types of images all the time that it would be helpful if I would teach you guys how to do some basic coloring. So I'm going to limit my color palette but I'm going to show you hopefully how to do some fun things as well. I'm taking a C2 marker and generally if you're just going to buy a few markers I'll give you some advice on some of these colors that I'm using. And the grays I often say just do every other one or every third one. So if you want to do a C0, a C2, a C4, C6 or something like that or with this one I'm just going to use the C2 and the C4 and here I'm using a zero marker which is a colorless blender. I'm using it in a way that most people think you would do blending because I'm trying to blend it into white. But the colorless blender really pushes color away from it. It doesn't actually blend anything so don't be mistaken by that but I'm just trying to soften that edge of the C2 that I put down and now I'm going to go in with a C4 and add stripes because the name of the stamp has tiger shark in it and so I looked up what tiger sharks look like and they have these little stripes on them. And when I add the stripes it looks a little bit like I'm giving them dimension because they have white bellies so the whole underside of the shark is going to be white and they'll have these wonderful little stripes on them. And since I'm going to be fussy cutting out the shark I didn't worry about staying in the lines on the outside part too which always makes it easier when you don't have to worry about that kind of a thing. So I stopped for a moment to go look at my picture online because I wanted to figure out what the tail looked like and I couldn't tell from Google you know you pull up Google searches on things and they give you like 10,000 pictures and all of the tails look different. I couldn't tell how much of it was from the lighting on the photos so my tail and my fin might be a little bit off on that but I could tell that there were definitely stripes on the tiger shark which is probably how he got his name because he's got little stripes. So I'm adding a little bit extra of the darker gray color around the outside just to emphasize that a little bit more and then a few little stripes on the fins. And I went it back in with the colorless blender again and you'll see a little bit more of the colorless blender and how that works but I'm basically like pushing some of that gray back into the colored area and just trying to soften some of that a little bit more. I'm going to use one of my favorite red combinations so if you wanted to just pick up a few Copic markers and you wanted to try maybe red flowers, red hearts, red dress on a little girl, this is a great combination to try for reds and it's I think the only one in this video that has all three so I generally try to do a darker medium and a light color. So the light color I color first and the the shark body since it blended into white was a little different. This is more standard for how I color things. I colored the R14 was the lightest color so I colored the whole thing then I went in the darkest shadows down in his throat and then I blended that with the medium color the R37 and then went back in with the R14. That's traditionally for me that's how I do almost everything unless for specific reasons like in this video a lot of my color combinations here are just going to be two colors so keep it a little on the simpler side but I wanted to give you the three color information as well if you are new to Copic coloring.  All right so now I'm going to do a little fancier coloring on the shadows underneath the shark so please don't feel like you have to do this this is just where I get a little crazy. Here is one of those places just under his tail where I left a little gap so it makes it look like his tail goes up and then the end of the tail comes back down again when you do a shadow like that. It's a little extra fancy type of shadows and I wanted to give the surfboard a little bit of dimension so I took my dark and I just made a line following around the edge and I didn't worry about making it really smooth. I just you know kind of sketched it in there and now I'm sketching in some of the medium color and now I'm just going to go over the whole thing with the R14 the light red and that's just going to blend all of it together and make it all look really soft. If you want to just color solid just just the red on the the surfboard totally fine this is over the top stuff which is kind of what I do that's my signature stuff but I just thought I would show you a little bit fancier stuff too and then I decided this this could either be a grass skirt or shell skirt and I decided I wanted color in there rather than just having a little bit of brown shells or something so I just did the grass skirt instead and here's another place for the colorless blender can sometimes help some of the red went into the teeth so I can put several layers of the colorless blender in there because that pushes the color away so I did a little bit I'll go back later and add a little bit more and just try to continue to push that color out but sometimes you need to wait for that to dry in between so I'm moving on to my little beach scene I use the same green for my little palm tree leaves and this E31 is a really great light brown color and if you're looking for a good trio in browns then I would go either an E31 or 33 along with an E29 and an E37 but I'm only going to use the E37 here because it's such a small image we don't need a whole lot of dimension but if you're looking for what colors to get I will list the E29 in the description and stuff in case you forget that and you want to go get that color anyway if you color animals it's always good to have a trio of colors for them because then you can make dark brown animals light brown animals that kind of thing so here's another little fancy addition I'm going to do a long shadow when the sun is kind of low on the horizon you get really long shadows and I can increase the the look of this little hillside being rounded by just putting little rounded lines behind the trees for shadows again that's over the top coloring but it's a really simple thing to do that adds a whole lot to the effect so if the the brown is too dark which I felt it it kind of got too dark you can scrub over it with the lighter color and you can see I'm just kind of coloring over over and over in that area and it really does soften it and I don't know if this is scientifically why but I think there's if you consider there's probably more of the colorless blender type of substrate or whatever in the marker in the lighter ones than in the darker ones then the lighter colors will push away also the darker colors so if you ever color a light one over a dark one and you wonder why it started kind of erasing color that might be why and here's a place where the zero marker also comes in handy so I drew some dots with the brown and now I can also draw dots with the colorless blender and it makes little not perfectly white dots but it sort of erases color it pushes color away and if you look at them closely you would actually be able to see that it creates a little halo around it because it's pushing that color out in all directions whenever you touch that marker to color that's already there so I thought I'd use the same colors from my shark to color the little chest and I'm just going to put shadows on the right hand side keep it really simple with just two shadows and then that buckle I didn't really feel like adding another color to the mix because I'm trying to give you a limited color palette if you're just getting started with markers and don't want to go crazy and the sky color I like a B00 which is much darker than this but a quadruple zero or triple zero are very very light ones and it's a little easier to get this look so what I'm doing is flicking the marker I'm laying the marker the marker nib on its side right along that line where I kind of drew clouds little cloud tops and then lifting it up as I move the marker so I'm making flicking motions almost like if you think of sweeping the dirt off of a sidewalk you flick it off into the the grass or off onto the street it's that kind of emotion so the coloring is just about done here I do go back to one thing after I finished my little fussy cutting but I decided to cut the the shark out by hand because there's all these different pieces that need to be cut around and I was really glad that waffle flower didn't make us cut out all the teeth so they have that nice big mouth that makes it easier and combining these images also means that I don't have to cut out any of those other little parts because that surfboard is just one little shape and I went around the edge with a dark marker in order to hide any of the places where I didn't fussy cut well and then I realized I forgot to go back and add some shadows to the green if you have a selection of gray markers like this C4 then you can use the gray markers to do shadowing on your other colors so if you just get one green and a gray or two then you can mix those and get a perfectly fine little bit of shadow on them without having to buy a whole bunch of markers so it's a great way to stretch the markers that you do have by using some of the grays to shadow. Now I wanted to put my sentiment on and I used my powder tool to prepare the area that I wanted to stamp it and I'm going to use this Mama Elephant ink because I wanted to put a pop of red in there since we have red on the shark and I thought it would be fun to do that so off screen I'm actually inking the sentiment stamp and then closing it on there this is the Misti that I'm using for stamping if I hadn't mentioned that before I can't remember if I did but the Misti really makes lining things up so much easier and there are a lot of videos both on my channel and in others if you search for Misti in my channel then you'll find lots more on how this thing works but I'm going to put my clear embossing powder on I let my heat gun warm up really good before I put this on there because then the paper won't curl as it gets heated up and then that's ready to just put some dimensional adhesive on and I want to put my adhesive on but keep it away from the edge because I want that dime to have a place to roll and I'm using the 3m foam tape for this because it's a little thicker than the power tabs so it's going to give the dime a little more room if the the two panels are raised a little bit higher than the dime is if that makes sense so using two different levels of dimension so I'm trying to slide the dime around to see if it's going to fit through really well and how easily it's going to slide and sometimes you have to work it a little bit but I also had this idea since I had my powder tool out why not run some of the powder in between the dime and make sure the edge of any of that sticky is no longer sticky and then I thought wait a minute why don't I do that inside the groove as well and I put the dime back in the dimes back in and all of a sudden it slid perfectly through there really easily so next I trimmed off some of the edges because since I nudge things a little bit there was a little extra white card stock from the card base now I put another power tab on top of the dime and stuck my little little sharky on it and then decided to put that onto the card and stuck that in the groove and sliding it in there is a little tough so next it's going to be a lot of you know fussing around to try to get him to slide really well but before I do that I want to make sure that he doesn't fall out so since the groove ends all the way out in outer space on the on either side of the card I just put extra dimensionals right underneath the top and the bottom on both sides and that way the dimes are not going to slide out because the gap is not big enough so I ran the dimes and the shark back and forth a whole bunch of times to just sort of I don't know grease the skids I guess and eventually got it to the point where it started to do this fun little spin thing so he's spinning she she girl shark is spinning along on my card and I think this is really a fun kind of interactive card for kids it'd be great for birthdays or all different kinds of fun occasions thanks again to waffle flour for including me in the fun of the new release and I will see you guys later be sure to leave a comment in the doobly-doo and subscribe if you would like to get more videos from me and there's a link in the upper right hand corner to my blog I will see you guys later take care bye bye


Okay, this is my topic why and how to switch to chi-cat because the idea is that everybody start to use chi-cat so it is targeted to ego users but you can compare so the first thing is we pronounce it as chi-cat because this is a quick demo he started to push chi-cat very vigorously and he pronounced it as chi-cat but actually the real pronunciation should be chi-cat according to French but our two usual French guys are not here yeah is it chi-cat yeah but many people call it chi-cat so it can change interchangeable so while I choose chi-cat I have been using alchim when I have access now I don't have access though I don't use and I have been playing for several years of my ego then I choose chi-cat there are several reasons why is I don't want to be limited just what can we just talk about the free version of ego there are some size limitation and the layer limitation although the limitation is quite okay to work with why I think if I'm going longer I want to do bigger board I want to do more layers then maybe from start I can I should start to use a very freely available tool so this is the first reason I'm using our second one is I of course I cannot afford a case of race and especially even ego for the hobby license is about $60 is it yeah this is about but you cannot use it for commercial purpose that's the problem so that's why I cannot afford anything so I just use the chi-cat it's usable and most importantly I want to share my design this is a very debatable point because many people are working on open source design and they want to share their design but if the your audience the people download your file they don't have the software to open it would be a very bad experience although although sometimes you can you can publish a PDF file but for the people if they want to recreate your design they want to improve your design they have to redraw everything using their own tool it's kind of not very nice it's kind of reward everything so that's why I try it's actually very good for these points and this is the why it is thought to be popular among the open source community okay so some of them miss first because there are so many uh comments over the internet comparison with with ego and there's so many years of uh you can get just one a search there's too many some are correct some are correct at the moment when the article is written but what I'm talking about is as per current may not be truly accurate because I have not been using ego for several years so this is what my last impression of ego and my current impression of kai kai not very fair but just some of the idea at first things the many people are complaining about the strategic kai kai is not very stable for a very professional design it is not just a major software open source community to debunk this you just take a take a look at this uh my thoughts about this project I just take a uh just show this let me uh okay just see a pcb I don't want to see the shoulder okay this is the project this is the eight layer board usb 3 fpga our area is it's like that it's a huge vga chip in the in the middle and they're actually they see a 3d preview of the board it's super huge board and it's actually everything is designed in kai kai okay let's continue 30 second um there's also some impression of kai kai it's into an endless development and the many people are talking about how to use a tool called kai builder to build your own kai kai kai from the source and especially from like a snapshot version of every day like the kind of uh tutorial all over on the internet and they claim that this is the only usable machine and I feel that's not the truth actually there's a recently very very recent table version which is 4.0.2 um they start to release this regularly uh because before that an older version is kind of 2013 so until now they have a newly usable version 4.0.2 it's actually starts with 4.0 but now it's 4.0.2 uh you can download from this website their own official website there's a mac version windows version and linux version and under recent ubuntu you can just do a apc get it is already in the official source so there's actually many people say it's not favorable yet but for me it crashes as much less than uh as you are I may encounter some of the some crash like uh once um once a week that kind of frequency all right but there's a lot of annoying here and there later I will do a demo you will start to see some of the more little cheating problems but it's still workable because you pay your fees you pay zero you really cannot complain too much things about the privacy okay now it's the real comparison uh against ego there are several things that ego cannot do one is uh uh it can do a theoretical schematic which means if you have a very big schematic you can separate this into sections and each section is a small creative whereas in ego free version there you can only do one schematic okay there's no limitation on the size of layers you can do whatever layer you want uh like six layer a layer and it it has built in 3d view uh which I shoot later and uh one thing is I feel much much like I can it it allows you to see really editing any of the tcd book things on the boy itself uh we'll show them something like later uh but uh okay maybe maybe it's good to shoot in a temple so there's some advantages of of course there's some you are an audience it's very headache sometimes you have to uh close the whole program that I start again then you overcome some of the strange like a cause or missing the kind of thing it happens all the time and the library collection is not as huge as ego although it is improving but okay it's the packaging of the the components uh learning give example uh for example uh this is a maybe a suppressor this is a we call it a footprint is it's made of two pads and the two screens of this particular thing are what I mean comparing ego is normally this thing is in a library and when it's in a library or you cannot change it whereas in tight cat you can change it to any way you want uh I shoot it later okay this is really nice this is a boy I usually design the this is it's up in like the manufacturer uh we can talk this later yeah so okay uh the tight cat walk flow is a little bit different from ego if you are very familiar with ego but it it's actually quite similar to the older style um cat system like the OR cat uh I'm not sure how many people are actually using that I'm using like like 1990s or something it's very old-fashioned it's similar to this workflow whereas there are several components in ego uh in tight cat uh the the main thing called EE schema uh it is a schematic design tool that you use to draw your schematic uh supporting the EE schema there's a library editor that you edit your components or your parts okay uh there's a medium tool called CVPCB quite a strange name I don't know what it stands for it is used to assign a footprint to a single this is completely different from ego uh explain more like the later and after this all done you have to generate a .NET file and this file will open by a pcv editor because pcv new is kind of fed up name if my programmer give a name pcv new I will file it immediately uh it's kind of history historical reason that this is somehow called pcv new and the with the pcv new there's another patch it's called a pcv footprint editor that you use to design your footprint for a particular component and after all it gives uh it offers a double file and it has a double view so it's kind of a whole ecosystem all in one package um we get with what demo it can be much easier to understand everything so let me start by okay I already have my demo uh because the cat cat you need to use a lot of hotkeys so I use this program that so that I type in it you can see what what what I'm actually I'm typing on the keyboard so now it's a noise number one I double click the schematic file nothing come up actually it is already running but it's at the back so I I already did the schematic it's a simple schematic is to send this to everything uh just to set it up whatever um all the components are actually here under this uh place component part if there's less here you add here so here are the all the viewing libraries with all the components there's one particular uh concept which is different from ego is that a component is a component it doesn't know which footprint it uses for example this is a resistor uh a resistor can be can be any type of package or it can be 0805 0603 or a two hole whatever it can be any component but uh type cat doesn't design it it's inside this in a library it just for a resistor that's it um for people who are switching from ego you will feel it's quite strange why you have to do that uh after I use it for like several months I feel actually it's very good property because uh I can when this particular component is not is not in the viewing library I can draw my own without drawing a footprint so I can put in first and maybe later I can I can assign to our footprint which already exists so that's uh one of the very good properties so how to give this uh how to give this say okay okay if I want a two hole resistor for this particular part I put my cursor here at the E okay it has a reference it has a value footprint is now it's empty what I do is I have done footprint so here comes off all the footprint library you can see uh let me let me a resistor control all the way the resistor to hold for them I can use this one this can be a footprint for a resistor now I want to use this one and you can see the I'm not I'm not again it doesn't focus it's at the back okay it's on the PCB it's something like this for certain parts it actually has a viewing 3d model for the thing for the footprint when you have a model you can see the component itself so it looks like it looks quite nice but for some some of the footprint it doesn't have a viewing 3d model so I am done here but this is how I take a component and I've done a footprint for this one so this is one of the one of the way to do that the other way is using cvcv which is here you cannot know that all your components and give you all the libraries you can just add on in this screen like this is e1 or 100 m of micro capacitor I can find here as the capacitor to hold sorry but I can find it I say or maybe I use this one so you can do this as a batch because it's sorted like all the resistors have to be added so you just got one by one by one just double click to complete we click through the everything that is are done or are done together just save it so okay we have this schematic and in order to make a PCB just now I mentioned you need a net list file you can see here it's generally like this okay now you can open the PCB editor see this one I actually already have this in but the way you to do that is click the net load the net list it will load every footprint here you can test it see anything there will be all here now you start to you can see these are all the layers that this board has it's a quite a strange name but normally you can take look at the pop-up node then you know what happens or what it actually means our front copper layer bottom copper layer like a adhesive not really used only for SMG process paste is solder face this is your screen this is a solder mask or whatever all kind of it's a little bit strange naming I actually I have a slide to try to summarize what it actually is you can take a look and compare it actually it's a one-to-one correspondence both basically the same thing so now we start to lay out the board it's actually very simple you just this part is just left just as easy as you go you just you see all the fly wires that these are not connected yet you just do your magic like whatever you like maybe I spend one minute to finish this board there's a difference from what he mentioned now is the design rule check is built-in what does it mean is for example if I have this this wire I go through here just like that I will have a poverty I cannot go through this doesn't look very nice here I cannot go through it doesn't let me to draw over another track so only valid valid one will be able to you will be able to draw this out but the color doesn't look very nice okay almost finished there are two left two wires I've got another layer actually this board is like that it's finished already or if you can take a look at this board you can even do a 3d view of this board you see all the components and actually this is very important if you want to see the clearance of the between components they don't want you don't want to overlap all these things it's very important and there's another script that you can export the 3d model to a to like a step step file or some kind of a 3d model that you can import into a mechanical cd then you can design the case around it and of course we can we can do a we can do a few of a block plane that makes it easy to even like them you cannot measure the height height is to be used in the model but you can measure any any two points of this board exactly here the way doing to do this is you you put a starting point then you press space then you see it becomes easier then whenever you move it tells you how much distance you have followed so it's very easy to measure distance on the board okay just now I also mentioned that you can easily modify these foot prints on the pcb and and actually if you can go to google your type in ego modify uh pads you will soon find like a force of cliffs resolve and say how to modify holes and the pads are ego without dying so but in kai kat it's so simple that you can point to one cat one cat you just press e edit tell i want to edit this pad you can do whatever you like you can you can see i want to uh pick the hole or it's too big you can let it become a bigger hole you can put here you can you say i want to move it oh sorry you move the whole thing okay you can you can wrap it on the footprint you say you say you want to edit which goes to meter edit editor it comes out here it can move it around and you can just do here update footprint in current board let it move here doing this by doing this you are not changing the library the library is still still intact so you can do whatever you want on the board when the components are already on the board so with this one it becomes so easy to do everything like for example i want this to explain to move in i think ego you have to explore this footprint and then you can do this yeah or you need to do that in the library you can do is you can move everything around the whatever you like so now you have uh you have a very nice 3d view with everything then once you think it is uh it is nicely done the same way you do a plot this is the same as the gerber generation but it's a little bit manual process it's not like kind of not like ego you can do uh many people if they give a cam file that you can do this automatically here you still have to do it manually that you can you need to give a you say i want to export all these layers maybe i need marching i need to show them up i need to the edge okay i plot and the fuel file so after this you go to the uh in in your in your own territory you have all these gerber files here uh then it has a few interval viewer you can look the verb file uh i want this okay i think there's too many files here in a moment it was uh let me delete this but it's annoying it's never open up have to do manually so these are the files you give manufacturer what they will do they will check the file if it's good uh they will see you have all these files this is the backside of copper this is a backside solder mask so that within this mask there's no paint elsewhere there are paints so you can see the screen individually you can check by yourself you can see this is the screen this is the edge for the board this is the front side front side of the mask and the front side to the screen and the fuel you can see if the fuel all matches out to the pack then after this you just pack this everything then send out to many of the one of the choice of your manufacturer partner so okay it's the went to almost there but uh at least some of the good resources for high cat especially these guys uh Chris Gammo the contact electronics i actually can go to his youtube channel he made a whole series of tutorials on how to use high cat a last time it was based on a previous version but all the concepts remain the same and there's a forum also set up by Chris and there's a lot of libraries everywhere and especially for the high cat high cat footprint library you can take a look at the footprint library it's actually based on g-hub so whenever you want to you want to update you just go here you take g-hub then it will start to populate all the all the libraries available on there then just pull it down very automatic and it's keep updating like every three four days there are some updating on that so it's kind of very updated and very nice to be seen but these are all footprints the schematic library is not very up to date but this one is very meeting edge and also including all the 3d shapes but you can also write your own to your own 3d you make your own 3d model but it's using a very old program called win 3d very anti-human kind of software i think it's very much okay so that's about the everything and the tutorial oh yeah yeah there's a website called 3d hub and you can sign up to this website and it has a lot of people contributing all kinds of component libraries on to 3d hub and you can export into any format like ego like kai kai like elton all kinds of format you can just export from the 3d hub and it will kind of save the file into your toolbox so it is actually very useful so that that's everything about kai kai the way kai kai is designed seems like a very unique stuff not to be a once more compared to something then cut the result of another program exactly this is okay you see all the things here at the main screen there are so many these buttons these are all individual programs and normally we use the all the first five and there are some some very useful things as well like this one ccd calculator actually hugely useful uh it's kind of uh for example the basic c it gives you a regulator calculating and you want to how many more infomable or it gives you how many what kind of this value uh you can calculate the resistance of the case case as well as well and give a width give a thickness give a length it gives you how many ohms it is and the the isolation spacing if you're working out some high voltage ptd and this is a kind of impedance calculation uh i part can you enter with this color code and even all the board class values the minimum uh this clearance all these things they give all the values here you can just use this actually it's a very handy kind of tool here so you can say or what's your clearance that width height whatever you can actually specify here you can have multiple designs uh classes of rules then you assign different nets to different classes and also global you can say uh how how wide is your trade system or you can say you need to specify here then when you do our trading and you actually here otherwise it does not give you how do i like okay i need position support yeah you uh you i know what you mean your pinpoint the pain of our type you have to do uh after you modify something on a schematic you have to regenerate analysts then you go to the go to the pcb site you will read this again when reading it will ask uh your your if your footprint will change this will keep or change extra ones will delete all these kind of things you have to do this manually every time it is actually very start fitting with you have to switch in in the back from these two programs or my suggestion is get a very good mouse and get a big screen as a figure get a big screen or get two screens so that you can have pcb on one screen and the schematic on the other because once you play here some of components here it will automatically move the cursor there so it's much easier for me as i can do this i i think this is very very important one last question for you uh i didn't use the plugin there's a plugin called that uh called step up uh it i i heard it gives uh idf file output i idf i think it is uh i'm not sure because the some people say they will expect a step output but many uh they are the the tag team actually is working on the step output they have some demo working somewhere for on the internet but it is not officially including this yet but i feel there's still some distance for for this to be to be true because currently all the 3d models are based on the iml so it's basically a mesh-based model it's not a solid base so i guess there's still some distance to to go around thank you


Aloha, I'm Kili Akina, president of the Grassroot Institute. This was the year when we learned how, quote, annoying the public can be to government agencies. What with their constant demands for transparency, sunshine, and access to government records. In fact, some state agencies were so annoyed that they sought help from the legislature, which responded with a bill to limit the rights of, quote, vexatious records requesters. That's HB 1518, and it's still alive. But fortunately, the latest version requires a decision from a court before stripping government watchdogs of their rights. Now the funny thing is that if anyone is entitled to feel vexed by the state's transparency laws and process, it's the public. According to civil beats, state and city officials have regularly tried to hide records or withhold them by charging ridiculously high fees to the person requesting them. The Grassroot Institute frequently requests public documents, and our researchers could share a few stories with you about the tactics agencies use to delay or avoid a response. When we worked with Judicial Watch to gain a copy of the Native Hawaiian Role, a public voter list, we even had to go to court to get these records released. Ironically, there's a shockingly simple solution that would make everyone happy. Just be more transparent. It's that simple. Requesters would get the documents they want, and state workers could be spared the stress of coming up with reasons to avoid handing them over. In fact, if agencies were more open in their operations, some of those requests wouldn't even be necessary. For example, there's a bill in legislature now, HB165, now headed to a conference committee, that would modernize the existing sunshine law by doing something very simple, requiring the posting of public agency meeting notices and minutes and making board packets available online for public inspection. It's an important step forward for transparency in Hawaii and a common-sense way to reduce work associated with records requests. After all, there's no need to make a request when something's already online and everybody can see it. Of course, several state agencies oppose HB165 and have testified about why they would find it difficult to comply with the bill. It's almost as if they prefer being vexed. Still, we hope that the legislature will embrace greater openness in government and take advantage of the internet to make more records publicly available. They could even think of it as a public health service, because all that stress and vexation can't be good for our state workers. Ehonakako, let's work together. I'm Kelea Akina with the Grass Root Institute, aloha.


Welcome to the ITU studio in Geneva where I'm very pleased to be joined in the studio today I'm Mr. Dominik Roskrut who is a president of Statistics for Poland Welcome to the studio. Welcome I'd like to start off by talking a little bit about the current status of the ICT sector in Poland Perhaps you could tell us what it's like what it's looking like from a statistical point of view That's an interesting question especially for me because before I became president of Statistics Poland I was responsible as one of the directors for ICT statistics So this is something very close to my heart and the ICT sector is growing very quickly It's very important It's part of most of the you know public policies as well at the moment and what we observe that we you know just When we look at it, that's very hard to kind of like a separate from the rest of the economy but there are a lot of indicators that we can use to kind of like Assess the size of this sector and especially what is important in case of Poland is very Quick growth for the R&D that is being conducted by the ICT sector That's one of these things that are very important for the future. We have very strong industry related to gaming you know the Game producers in Poland and they are growing very quickly just started to import even the the people from from outside of Poland to work on the on the new developments so that the sector is very important and We say we see a lot of dynamics in the growth now Mentioned you come from a statistical background. I wanted to ask you What would you say are some of the challenges that you face in collecting data on the ICT sector? I see some are ubiquitous. That's what I mean star everywhere, you know and some of these initiatives to try to kind of like a separate pure effect of ICTs and economy are destined to be To fail because you know basically when we talk with the industry it turns out that the ICT is everywhere you know and in the most remote industries that it won't even expect the ICTs play more and more important role and Even the counterfactual methods that are sometimes used by the econometricians when you try to distill like those who Does some ICTs and those who doesn't use any ICTs It's very hard to kind of like separate this this pure effect of ICTs. So this is one of the major Measurement challenges, of course, there are the challenges ICTs are changing very quickly and then the the practice of statistical production Is and takes time you know and sometimes the indicators that we developed a few years ago are not any more Interesting at the same time new new new new developments Surface and we need time to adopt our statistical systems to to react with the new indicators to also takes time Additional limitation is that we have to harmonize that internationally. So we want to produce statistics. There are You know comparable across the countries, but it puts another limitation on that and it prolongs the time that we need to You know take to to prepare our response. So these are usual Problems and as far as we were Discussing the ICT statistics. I think that we have to kind of like step back a little better think about that changing the paradigm I mean probably we were always too much oriented towards technological indicators and then and related things rather than to Processes related to societies and to economies how this affects societies and how people change their behavior and attitudes and And the same with the with the businesses. How does this affect like on the micro level not on micro level? The the the way they convey their businesses so not not tied down to a single technology now But looking much more on a holistic set and prepare yourself to the future technologies are not yet You know invented but certainly they will show up and what then you know You need to be prepared like in a more comprehensive framework now, of course We're here at the world telecommunication and ICT indicators symposium I wanted to ask you why is WTIS important and and what would you say will be the main takeaways from this year's? Symposium in terms of data collection I think there are a lot of messages that are being conveyed in many many meetings But this this particular one is very important because it really gathers like people from all around the world And it's very important to know that what that you know one of the important messages is that we can use some non-traditional sources of knowledge for development of new ICT statistics and outside of the usual ICT You know a surveys and households and in businesses like I know I would just point out to a time use survey That can be used also to kind of like see how is the behavior of the people changing when when the proliferation of ICTs is Improving another thing is that we can use new data sources like big data and all these in your recent technological advances smart statistics based on a sensor of data that really you know provides us with a new tools of you know Producing more reliable more interesting and more granular statistics And the third thing is that we have to of course when we do all that We need to communicate statistics a little bit better than we used to in the past So that's why I'm always just in the fact that we need to engage closely with the policy makers But also with the other stakeholders like media and the researchers to kind of explain what we're doing and to try to You know engage them into the co-creation process and so that at the end They use our statistics more and more and I think that there is a one very important platform that happens to be here and Now which is SDGs SDGs is Something that I see as a statisticians as a big opportunity to promote statistics and to show how important statistics are Not only in terms of ICDs, but in all other and all other IES as well related to leaving no one behind So I think that there are the future is very interesting Well, thank you very much for showing some very interesting insights with us and we look forward to catching up with you in the future too Thank you very much. Thank you


The president of Ninja Delta Student Union Government, Goodness Ekpen, has condemned the shooting of Juliana Martin, a 400-level student of the University of Benin by an officer of the Nigerian police in Benin City after a peaceful protest. He made this known while reacting to recent press statements made by Edo State Police Command, PPIROO, that the student was not shot by men of his command. Speaking to our reporter Friday at POMOgero Ekpen expressed worry over the action of the police force for denying, the Student Union gave police 24 hours to withdraw the statement and take full responsibility for their action. This retraction of the above-mentioned press release by the Edo State Command of the Nigerian police within the next 24 hours as we have consulted our legal team on the next line of action to be taken in view of the prevailing circumstances. Two, immediate arrest and orderly trial of DSP Emmanuel Wu attached to the counterterrorism units of the Edo State Police Command. Police has not been fully reformed. If what we saw that Juliana Martin was shot, police is coming with under-information. It is a very disheartening. I want to say categorically, I want to reiterate, I want to reaffirm that if Nigeria police force want to throw the pass of oppressors, Nigeria students are ready. I want to also tell the Nigerian police force that our student, we are intellectual army. The intellectual army is the greatest army in the world. The records are there. I want to tell the police force that they should quickly retract their statement. If not, Nigeria students are coming amass to correct that simple impression. The fact that the police used live ammunition, we are aware. So the police, according to what have been demanded, must without hesitation a head to all that we have demand. Secondly, I want to state that in the light of all, the MPDC actually mobilized Mopo Emmanuel to attack us. The reason being that the first day of our peaceful protests, Mopo Emmanuel went into MPDC office with us. So I'm very shocked that Emmanuel is aware we are coming for a meeting the following day, could come with live ammunition to attack us. The lady that was shot was really shot and it was confirmed by the Nigeria military hospital that she was really shot. She suffered bullet injury and not just meh and ECD. The CP over the phone and everyone we met with him told us clearly that she suffered an injury when the process by way means she fell down the floor and she suffered an injury and we are here to debunk that statement that no, we have proved actually that it was a gunshot and she suffered from a gunshot injury.


How's it going guys my name is dpj and if you do enjoy the video leave a like who helps out and if you like what you see you want to see more be sure to subscribe. Okay so the reason I'm making this video I'm bringing all four farms or locations to earn crazy amounts of ruins in minutes into one video is because I've actually covered all these farms or all these these spots to make these ruins but I've had while giving out a little bit of false information with said farms. Today I want to clear all that up and make it 100% apparent that you don't need to defeat Radan to actually get to this spot which I firstly will initially believe you did. So the place where I'm at right now I can't even pronounce it guys I'm not even trying I'll attempt it's called Mogwon does that say Mogwin? Well this secret area right here beholds four incredible spots you can earn insane amounts of ruins for every kind of player level there is in the game. The thing is though the way to get here and the easiest way to get here for lower level players is to well initially I thought it was to defeat Radan but it ain't the only boss you have to defeat to get here is a boss called Godric the grafted. Once you take him out guys which you can do at a relatively lower level you can make your way to where I'm at on the map right here and it is as simple as that the secret area. So the four farms quickly before I showcase you guys the actual route and mini quest you have to do to get here are straightforward. So the first one which every level player can do so basically once you get the item in question from that mini quest you'll end up on the spot right here the item by the way is this which teleports you to the secret area it's called a pure bloods knight's medal you'll end up right here this is a spot where I'll initiate every farm from but the first two which is uh ones for lower level players the other ones for medium to high level players let's follow the path I'm taking on screen now the first one that we'll cover is for all level players all level players like remember as long as you've beat Godric the grafted you can come here and abuse this spot and get some crazy amount of room so just follow the path I'm taking ignore all the enemies and run up to this hill at the top of this hill guys there is a grace which you want to activate so yep keep coming keep coming keep coming run past all these ignore him doing his gymnastics and then activate this grace simple as that okay so the first farm is for all player levels I'd say as soon as you can beat Godric the grafted I've seen players level 15 beat him so yeah good from here guys from the grace select bird there come to where I'm at shoot the bird with a bowl crossbow whatever he'll run off the map you gain 30 into 18k ruins per time he falls off you then simply run back to the grace sit down stand my crop do it again rinse and repeat now if you've got the gold scarab on which is a talisman which gives you 20% extra ruins on enemies defeated you will get a ton where you get 17 fat just under 18 thousand per bird falling off the map they can do this over and over and over as long as you have the bowls the bolts and the crossbow or the the bolt itself simple as that guys you should repeat so that's for all player levels doesn't really matter you can earn millions in an hour easy guys easy the second farm is the same spot which you've probably seen it's a little bit more popular it's this hill right here all these ads here guys give you roughly with that gold talisman under gold scout talisman they give you about 2300 2400 each one and if you've got air effect magic you can take all these out in an instant if you've got your sword it's a little bit longer as you can see here look you'll see how much each I get I get 2452 each guys and that is with the gold scout talisman on so yeah guys kill all these on the hill run back up sit down by the grace stand back up and you are good to go guys simple as that so the other farming spot it means I'm going to have to use my teleporter to go back to the start which is cool okay so from here guys there's another two spots one of them you can farm if you're a high level player you earn tons of money tons of rooms the other one is a one time thing where you can glitch or cheese a bus and get 500k rooms in approximately 30 seconds work so you need to calm this way and just just follow the path you can't jump on your horse yeah but either way just come up here guys and just keep following just keep following there's a grace there you want to activate that know that about it now that obviously the 500k one you want to do 100% I would say this other one which is I think was found first before the two are just previously covered um what is a good spot but enemies do hit a little harder so unless you're a high level here you're probably going to get done over and you're probably going to need range attacks as well right just follow the path I'm going right here guys and if you've got a torch you're going to need it because it's pretty dark in this cave it's pretty dark in this cave but for sure activate that just run through just follow the route I am taking as soon as you're getting here go slightly left up here and then you want to take a right you just want to follow the path down to the right don't go left there here guys you want to push slightly left and you'll see a slight little ramp here there we go and you want to do what's actually stairs or I'm hard right here and come up this way you'll see the light up there simple as that guys simple as that my people and then you'll see a grace right there activate that grace and this is a grace we'll be using for the third farming spot so this grace here activate it you'll run up this hill and you'll take out all of these adds simple as that again they're giving you 2400 per one easy guys take them all out run back down to the grace sit down stand back up rinse and repeat the other spot is guys from the grace we'll go is the boss cheese where you can actually kill him without him throwing a hit at you so he doesn't doesn't fight back but so ever it's a one time thing but hey it means you get 500k runes we're doing no work whatsoever so yes make sure you got that gold scour over on if you're doing this because like I said 500k runes for 30 seconds I've just seen him easy guys easy and he can do this at any level as well so yeah as long as you get access to this area we shall explain to you guys in a second how you can do this you get tons of free rooms guys tons of free rooms simple as of that so go on the lift now this lift should be already at the bottom for you guys if you come here at the first time you come in here and like this is a one time thing by the way so this door will be closed this will be actually when you first come here it won't be closed you have to initiate the fight first so go into the fight let the boss kill you then you'll spawn back outside the room if you select spawn at America so do that and you'll spawn right here you'll then notice is that gold mist above the which would have to traverse to enter the boss fight again don't do that what we're going to do guys is take off all your armor and then jump up onto here now once you get up on here guys this is a trick for console players PC players it's a lot easier but for console players you want to turn well we're jumping up onto that wall there what we want to do is turn around so face the other way then guys you want to step as far forward as you can without falling off this thing then you want to jump and at the same time press that dodge sprint button because if you press it without jumping you'll like dodge backwards and fall off when you've done that guys just obviously face the wall we want to jump to and just run and jump and you should get onto the wall and it really is as easy as that guys once you are in here people run up to the boss he won't fight back hit him you'll notice he will not fight back use what you can put your armor back on put your weapons back on and take him out that easy guys it is that easy okay so to get here to get to the secret area the muggle in palace whatever it's called there's two ways the easy way is to obviously beat godric the grafted once you beat godric the grafted guys you need to come back to the very start of the map which is the first step which is right here upon you coming here guys there will be a like a glowing sign on the floor to your left go on and go and talk to it basically that will then start a mini quest which takes you to the old church which is this area right here so go here guys there will be another NPC leading up the wall and yes speak to him as simple as that it will then start this mini quest to get this medallion which trans uh well teleports you to this secret area so the mini quest basically is about two or three steps it's relatively straightforward the first step is for you to invade three players games three players worlds so do that let them kill you you kill them doesn't matter but once you've done that you come back to him he will then give you a cloth you need to soak in blood that this can take you to one of two locations for me it took me to this church right here the church of inhibition yep there i had to fight an NPC that invaded me killed him i went into the church soaked the blood with a like a statue as simple as that the other location i'm not sure where it is but it we should tell you you should know it's not too hard then guys go back to the rose church upon doing this guys and completing this quest you'll get this uh this medallion this medal you can use the medal then within your inventory to teleport you to this hidden area this secret area simple as that now for the people out there who haven't got the NPC there if you accidentally killed him if you go back to the first step and that stone right there if you go up to rose church and the NPC ain't there there's a good chance that something's gone along along the way you've probably killed him you've hit him i don't know but you can still get to the secret area to take advantage of any of these amazing ruin earning methods but it's a lot lot longer okay so firstly i don't believe you have to beat radon to do this but i'd say beat him anyway because you're gonna have to be fighting bosses a lot harder than him so just take him out there's a good chance you've probably already done that then guys you need to get access to this area right here where are we this access this area right here so you need to get the dectus medallion dectus medallion this comes in two halves if you look on youtube for a guide you'll 100 find one it's relatively straightforward go and grab the two sides guys come here and you'll be able to use this lift you'll end up in this area right here then guys need to come this way follow the path i'm taking right here guys and you'll end up here where there will be a small mini bus guy and a horseback take him out is quite easy you then guys get access to this whole area right here so you need to make your way through it just like so and you'll end up seeing a massive dragon like a statue of a dragon you need to climb its wing and you'll end up at the god tree fight the phantom god tree you need to take him out upon taking him out you need to get up to the floor above yourself and then guys fight the omen king you then have to take him out also doing that guys you gain access to this area here forbidden lands and access to the grand lift of road upon getting up here you then have to traverse all the way to the top here guys and go to this castle of soul at the very top there is a boss called commander noel you have to take him out he then gives you another well half the medallion called the hellig tree medallion the other half of the medallion is found down here so come to the village of the albino it's exactly i'm not even sure come here guys and you'll see at the top of this hill there will be a guy hiding in the basket punch the basket don't hit the basket with a heavy weapon otherwise you can kill him and ruin this whole thing he will then guys give you the other half of the hellig tree medallion you then guys need to go back up to the grand lift of road you then guys need to press right on your d-pad and you'll get access to this area right here the hidden path to the hellig tree upon coming here guys you need to make your way over to around there as there will be a hidden portal before doing this you will be invaded by an mpc who you need to kill before you can access this portal so you're well i'll do it on screen now so from the hidden path of hellig tree follow the path i take up to this grace then go across to this area right here kill the invader go to the portal and you're then guys end up where i'm at on the map right here guys and from here follow the path i take to the grace which leads to the very first two ruin farms i covered in today's video and there we have the people that is how you gain access to this amazing area to earn millions of ruins in no time at all and there we have it guys this is how you can come to this amazing secret area and earn tons of ruins people and hopefully this video helps you out again guys i'm only really doing it because within the previous uh videos i've made in this area i've always said that you need to defeat redawn because i've already defeated redawn i thought this was the only way to get to the secret area but actually it isn't so yes i hope this clears things up for people out there especially the lower level players who can't take him out yet so yes i hope this helps you out if it does leave a like really helps me out if you want to see more out of ring be sure to subscribe and hopefully people i will see you on that next one
