Everybody, it's Greg back to here. In this video I'm going to show you what you get in the Mavic Air combo. I'm also going to walk you through step-by-step the DJI Go 4 app, and then I'm going to take you on the first main flight, and I'll give you a few beginner mistakes to avoid, and I'll also show you how to improve your exposure and your color. So make sure you stick around and watch this entire video.  If you're already experienced pilot, this probably isn't for you, or it's also for people who are looking for a refresher. Alright, let's get right into the video. In this first part of the video we're going to have a look at everything you get in the Mavic Air Fly More combo, and it's much better value than just getting the Mavic Air, and do a Google search because I was able to find the Mavic Air Fly More combo for the same price that other people were selling just in Mavic Air. So I saved $300 by getting it at Walmart, so do a Google search before you go out and buy this. You get the travel carrying case, you get a couple of extra batteries. We'll go through everything in this video, get extra rotor blades.  Just have a good look around, take all those sticky tabs off, and then what you need to do is remove this gimbal cover before you do a flight, but don't lose that because you'll need that to transport it in the future. So once you have all the sticky tabs off, the gimbal cover off, then you extend all the different arms. I'll show you how to extend the landing gear in a second as well. And then there's a look at it there. Now it comes with two sets of extra rotor blades. Just be conscious if you go to change those, where you took them from because there's little white lines on them and there's other ones that don't have that. So you want to make sure you have the right rotor blade in the right spot when you go to change those. Something to just be aware of. So I'll show you how to change your battery as well. There's a look at the different sensors, there's a look at the gimbal. Now there's your battery. You just push on those tabs and the battery pops right out. And then to put it back in place you just push down on it and you'll hear a click and then you'll see those red tabs go out. So there's your USB-C port and your SD card fits right there. Now here's a look at your controller. Now when you open it up there's little arms that you have to screw into place that will allow you to control it sort of like an Xbox controller. You'll see that in a second and then you can see there's the different buttons there as well. Now there's the arms. You have to take those out and then you have to screw them into place. So don't lose those but if you do the Flymore Combo comes with an extra set of those so you'll be able to replace them if you happen to lose them somewhere which is handy. So you can see all the different buttons here. We have the home button, the support button, the function button, the on and off switch. So just go through your manual and just become aware of that. That's how you take a picture. That's for a video below that is how you adjust the height of your gimbal in flight. And you can see there's the lightning cable. So it's set up for an iPhone when you first get it and then you just plug your phone in there. There's another USB-C port. Now there's a battery charging hub that allows you to charge up to four batteries at once. And how it works is let's say one battery is at 75 percent. It'll charge that battery first and then the next one and then the next one after that. So it's pretty handy to have those extra batteries because you're going to need them. Now here's a look at other things. You've got the blade protectors, extra rotor blades, all the cables you'll need. So it's a much better value in my opinion to get the Flymore Combo especially if you can find it on sale. And there's another look at the travel carrying case and the case for aircraft as well. Now there's the lightning cable. To go to charge it you have to pull that out and then use the adapter. And that plugs in to the adapter right there. You can see with the USB-C. So make sure you look for that adapter. I found that tricky. Also a good tip is to read all of these manuals and then once you've done that download the DJI Go 4 app. I suggest picking up a set of ND filters because this will help you to control your exposure. So for example if it's a bright sunny day you can adjust your aperture. You can only adjust your ISO or your shutter speed. So an ND filter is perfect for that. Also you'll need a memory card. And I also have a carrying case you'll see that. That just makes it easy to travel. All right so here we are. We've opened up the app and you can see here where it says start flight. Just click on that. Start flight. Now you can see this is the camera looking at another camera. So I've got the Mavic Air camera initiated. Now let's start at the top left and walk around in clockwise position. So I'm going to click where it says ready to go. And if I click there you can see we have overall status. And then if you look to the right it says normal latest firmware. So when I first initiated this I had to do an update. It failed the first time. It got hung up at 99 percent.  I did that. It worked the second time. So below that we have flight mode. You can see that's optical or OPTI. I assume it's optical. And then you see set max flight altitude by default. It's at 120. You can adjust it between 120 or 20 and 500. You've got your compass there. I had to calibrate my compass. All you have to do it'll let you know. You just click on calibrate and then it'll walk you through it. I had to move my Mavic Air around in different directions to help calibrate it. And then you see we have everything else set to normal. If there's a warning there then click on that. That means you probably have to do an update or something like that. And then we have our controller mode. When you first set this up you probably chose the controller mode. They recommend it mode too. So that's what I chose. You can see I have my remote control battery. That's 97 percent. Also when I did the initial setup I had the FN button. I set that to gimbal re-center. And then for the C button on the controller I put advanced camera settings so I can go in and adjust those camera settings on the fly. Then you can see our aircraft battery there. Our aircraft battery temperature. Our gimbal status. I don't have an SD card in there. Although I have two 64 gigabyte cards that I'm going to use. So I'm going to just click on the X. I'm going to close that out. So you can see right here we're going to move over. Where is the OPTI. Then we have our satellites. Then we have our Wi-Fi. And if we click on any of these things it should give us updates. So that was just beside the Wi-Fi. It's the visual navigation settings. So I'm going to turn these on. So I have enable, obstacle, avoidance. I'm also going to turn on the next one. Enable horizontal, obstacle, avoidance, and tap fly. Enable, backward, flying. Enable, obstacle, avoidance. So I just have all of these on.  We have advanced. I have all of those on as well. And again you can see we have our battery power at the top. Now if you look at the far right where we have the three dots. If I click there you can see we have access to all of the menu settings. So we have our controls. You can see we have everything right here. So I'm going to go from the top down and we're going to go through this. So I click here and we should go into that which is this what we're seeing right here. And you can see here we have our home point settings. So the one on the left there that's going to be returning to home. So let's say you were at a rock by a river and you click there it's going to return to that spot. Now let's say you walk 20 yards from where you started the aircraft. It will return where you were. So if you want to return to where you are now currently if you've walked 20 paces the one beside that that will go to where you are at the end. So I hope that makes sense. So if you're going to be stationary and you're not going to move around pick the one on the left. If you think you're going to follow your drone like 20 30 feet or more pick the one on the right and it'll go back to where you are at the end of the flight. Then I have multiple flight modes. I have that engaged. And then return to home altitude. You can adjust this. So when it's returning to home you've got that range there where 20 to 500 meters that'll go down to that altitude when it's returning home. And then you can enable beginner mode if you're just starting if you want to do that. Again you can adjust your set max flight altitude here. And you can able max distance and then again you have the advanced settings. And then you get into adjusting the sensitivity of your controls. I'd wait till you get a little bit more experience before you do any of that. So now if we go to the one below that you can say again we have enable vision positioning and obstacle check. I have all those checked. Go down to the little robot guy there. Here's the stick mode. And this is where our button customization is. You can make some changes there. And then we go to the Wi-Fi signal. You can see our Wi-Fi settings. And if I click here you can see our aircraft battery warning. So this is by default set to 30. You can lower it to 25 percent. It's really a personal choice. It's up to you. Below that we have the gimbal mode. And you can change that so it's on follow or you can have FPV. And then we have our advanced settings here. And then there's different configurations. So what you can do is you can have different speeds for your gimbal and things like that. So for example configuration one max gimbal pitch speed. I've reduced mine to about four and that will slow it down. So that will give you like a slower pan. So you can play around with those if you'd like and have three different settings for that if you want. Now let's look at our camera settings. So if we look just below our top column there you can see we have 4k and we have 30 frames per second. So if I click on that nothing happens. So I'll go to my camera settings. So if you look at the red button there that's your record on and off. There's three little dots below that. If you click there you can see you can choose between auto or manual. And if you look at the very top you can see there's like an aperture. Then there's a camera and then there's a gear. So top left. So that would be your video settings. I suggest shooting on manual mode. That way you're not going to get a variance in your light if it's on auto and you go to a brighter scene it'll get darker. This will keep your exposure the same. So by going to manual and let's say you're shooting outdoors. I would choose the lowest aperture if it's a sunny day or not the lowest aperture but the lowest ISO. So there's your ISO setting would be 100. And you could adjust that and you can see how that gets brighter as I adjust my ISO and then you can see here the zebras are the overexposure warning. I have that set on I'll show you how to set that in a second. So technically how it would work like a camera would or if you're shooting video. If you were shooting at 4k 30 frames per second your shutter speed should be at 60. That's what it should be set at. So we're just inside when we're outside it's going to be a lot brighter than that. Now what you can do and I mentioned earlier is you can put a neutral density filter over your lens and that'll knock down some of that daylight which will allow you to shoot at a lower shutter speed. There's our ISO and again if I go to that's our shutter speed there and the ISO is above that. So it's really getting that combination of the shutter speed and the ISO and to get a better manual exposure. Now for camera if you click on the camera you can see that we have video size. If you click there you can choose different sizes. I'm set for 4k 30 frames per second and you can see we have different sizes there as well. If we go back we have our video format MP4 or MOV. And below that I suggest you put your white balance on custom. So if you're flying outdoors daylight is estimated at about 5600 Kelvin. So if you pick that then your white balance isn't going to fluctuate. So that's why you want to shoot on manual is so that the light exposure doesn't fluctuate and you want to put your white balance on manual as well. So that doesn't fluctuate. Now as far as style I'm going to choose this. So you have on the far left at the bottom custom zero that would be the sharpness. The middle would be contrast and saturation. I'm going to take my contrast down. I do that when I shoot video as well. And then that will allow me to do more in post as far as the contrast. Now the color if you want to do a little more color grading you'll have a little bit more leeway. If you use D Cine like you might have a little bit more dynamic range as well. So I'm choosing that. So those are my settings there. And you can play around with those if you'd like. Now as far as the gimbal if you see right here on the right you can see there's the blue dot. That would be your gimbal height. And that's when you would have the fn that would recenter your gimbal. Now you can see also too there's a play button at the bottom right.  And then you can see here we have our radar and that's showing the distance to objects in the background. And then we also have at the bottom our speed and our height and our distance. Now we also have a map if you click on that it becomes full screen. So you can see a map and then again if I click on the square image then we're back to what the aircraft is seeing. Now if I click here we have different modes. So for example if you chose cinematic mode that would slow the aircraft down a bit more. So it would put the brakes on a little slower and create more of a cinematic stop. So you can experiment with these there's active track which will follow you. If you're walking you can set that to follow you or follow someone else. So you could explore those modes as well. Now there's a couple of different things here. There's the home button just above that. And then that will bring it back to home. But above that if you wanted to start the aircraft you'd click on that and you'd slide that to take off. I'm just going to click cancel right now. And if you go to the DGI at the top that takes you back to the start of the app. And you can see here that there's a slide to update. So there's an update. So I'm going to have to update this. Hey everybody it's Kyle back again. Here we are for our maiden voyage of the Mavic Air. This is my first flight. I've got everything ready to go. It says ready to go. I'm going to make sure that it's set for to come back to me as far as where I wanted to return to. So home base. And I'm going to say okay so I've set the current position as the home base. And then I'm ready to go.  I'm just going to back away give it some room to take off.  Before you do your first flight I suggest you look and make sure that you're not in a no fly zone. And also maybe practice with the flight simulator that comes with the part of the app. Now this is one of the features that you could just tap in a little circle around your subject. I found that a lot easier than trying to do it myself. So check out the smart capture features as well. They're really handy. But you can see it's great footage. This was shot in 4k.

How do you do snowboarding and camping? Those are the things I take pride of. Like, oh, yeah, I do camping. I do snowboarding. Yeah. I'm a part of the Hamtramik Outdoor Adventure Club. When first time ever I went to my trip, I was the only one hijabi girl. Now, so many hijabi girls we have in our club. Honestly, the best decision I've ever made was going inside that club. I got to be in nature. Looking at the trees, breathing the air, everything just lifted off of your shoulders. There's stuff that you've never seen. Things you see in books, it's in real life.


Houthi rebels in Yemen targeted a US-owned cargo ship, using a kamikaze drone shortly after the United States reinstated the group on its list of global terrorists. The attack occurred on the Jenko-Pikadi bulk carrier, located 110 km southeast of Aden. The drone struck the vessel, resulting in a fire that was promptly extinguished. The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations Organization reported that the ship and its crew are safe and proceeding to the next port of call. Yemeni Armed Forces Spokesperson Brigadier General Yahya Suri stated that the attack was in support of the Palestinian people and in response to the American-British aggression on Yemen. Suri warned the US and the UK of an inevitable response to their attacks on Yemen, emphasizing that any renewed aggression would face retaliation and punishment.


What's up guys nice Michael and welcome to my YouTube channel today. We're gonna do the the question reorganized string So I actually tried to make this video once already and it didn't work out Cuz like I kept stuttering and try to couldn't really understand what I was doing But I actually don't understand what I'm doing And I actually couldn't figure out this question for the past two days and I was stuck on it I had to look at the solution, but now I know what what how to do this question. Okay, so This question basically asks given a string check if the letters can be arranged so that two characters that are Jason See each other are not the same. So in the case of the example one a a b A and a are the same characters and they're adjacent to each other next to each other you want to reorganize it so that these Characters that are the same are not adjacent to each other So in this case the output would become a b a because they swapped B And they put B in between the two adjacent letters a b a In a second example, it's not possible. That's why they return in They return a empty string the reason why is because in this case a a a b We've if you take B and you put it between the first two a's The last two a's are going to be adjacent to each other and they're the same so that wouldn't work It might take B and put the last two a's the first two a's are going to be adjacent to each other and That wouldn't work either. Okay So how do you do this question?  Yeah, so how do you do this? Well first thing you got to know is that We have a string s so we're gonna create a we're gonna not a we're gonna create a length n for s.size just in case if we need it because we need it basically and we need it We are going to basically Keep track of every letter That occurred in the alphabet in our string. So we're gonna do this called count and it's gonna have 26 because there's 26 letters in our alphabet and because that we're gonna have Initialize all the values to zero in the beginning Now what are we gonna do? We're gonna go through every character X maybe ch in our string and we are going to Add the care and the number of occurrences for each character. Okay, so the issue with this is that? the character a b c d e f g h i j k up to z is a Character that has an ASCII value. We want to change that ASCII value to start to zero because that's how our count indexes index from so we have to do minus a And that's going to add the number of occurrences for each letter in our alphabet in our count Okay, so after you do that We need to create a priority queue and it's gonna be our heap Priority queue and It's gonna be a pair of int in character because repairing the number of occurrences with its character And we're gonna call this a vector and that vector is going to be a pair Okay I'm gonna call this PQ priority queue Maybe I should call it priority Priority queue priority queue. Yeah, I will do that. I'll call it priority queue. Thank you. Okay I'm not gonna write the comparator yet. I'll write it later because that's gonna be hard to grasp your head around for the comparator, but I'll write it later. Okay So, what are we gonna do? We're gonna go through every every value in our array of Count which is 26 26 letters in the alphabet that we had a count and we're gonna check if count is greater than zero Okay, so if it's greater than zero we are we're gonna check if you can actually pair the two Values are not the same. So if you look at our string here string s is equal to a B If you were to pair these two values up together together, right? You're gonna have a ba, right the ones are not repeating with the ones that are repeating The size of this is n Let's say the size is n And over two would be the number of groups that you're pairing with each other, right? So therefore the upper bound Is gonna be n plus one over two and if your number of currencies is greater than n plus one over two That means it's not possible because you cannot have pairs like that cannot pair each Same character with this adjacent. So we're gonna have to do that here So we're gonna do if our count at I is greater than n plus one over two We're gonna return empty string. Okay, so After that So after this if statement we know that it's not The count at I is not is greater than n plus one over two So what we're gonna do is we're going to actually add the values to our priority queue So we're gonna do priority queue dot push and then we're gonna add a pair We're gonna add the specific count, which is the the number of occurrences that came and then the actual character so to do that I have to Convert the specific character into an actual character. So to do that, I'll do I Plus a and that will convert the specific index into an actual character So that would that's gonna do that part. Okay. Now we're gonna do another part So I'm gonna check while our priority queue size Is greater than We equal to two the reason we're doing this is because we're gonna take the two topmost values And then we're gonna add it to our string that we're returning. So we're gonna do string to return equals empty So we're gonna take the top two values in our priority queue. So we're gonna do priority queue dot top And this is gonna be pair into char Let's see pair one. I'll call it pair one top I'm gonna remove it To get the second one because I only have the access to the first element. So a pair Remove the pop it now. I'm gonna get the second one pair two and I'm gonna remove it also. Okay So Once we get the top values, we're going to actually specifically add the specific character into the string that we're returning So we're gonna do to return plus equal to pair one dot second Then we're gonna do to return plus equal to pair two dot second and that will actually add up the specific character We know if we do dot second because for pairs dot first is the first five second was a Second value. So dot second is our actual character. So that's where we do that Okay now after we add the character to our string to return we need to check if We have to keep adding the best specific value so We need to check if we have to add the value again into our priority queue So to do that, we have to check if the number of occurrences subtracted one If it's if it's still greater than zero We are going to push the pair back into our priority queue in order to make sure that we add the values again and When you push that into your priority queue, it'll make sure that you have added again This would make sure that the number of occurrences you keep adding the characters so that the number of occurrences would Make sense. So in this case of a a b a has a number of currents is to be as number of currents is one If I were to subtract one from number of currencies So a is a number of currencies is to subtract one is gonna be one So is gonna have one I'm gonna push a again into the priority queue to make sure that I add a again To my to return string So I'm gonna do that in this part. So I'm gonna do if pair one dot first Minus-minus. So I'm gonna do a pre-subtraction. So this would subtract one from the value and set equal to the actual pair is greater than zero I'm gonna do a Priority queue dot push pair one and I have to do the same thing for the second value. So I have to do second pair So pair two dot first is greater than zero Priority queue dot Push pair two. Okay. So once you add those That's basically that part we also have to check There's also another case where if you have like odd number of characters, you're gonna have one less in the priority queue You're gonna have like a one remaining one. So we have to do that educate also. So if priority queue Dot size is still greater than zero. That means there's one left We're going to add it to our to return Dot second. Oh dot top and then the character that specific character dot second Add the specific character to our priority to our string that returning for our priority queue and then we're gonna remove the last Priority queue. Okay, so that's gonna that be that part and Yeah, that's that's pretty much this Does pretty much it then after that we have to return our to return Which is our string that we're returning. So I'm gonna move return to return and that returns the string Okay, so now it's a part of actually adding the comparator for priority queue to know which actually goes first and which actually goes second and Whether the minimum goes first the maximum goes first yada yada yada So I'm gonna call this one comparator I'm gonna pass a comparator here, and then I have to make sure it's a comparator Also here There's a thing we got to do dex cl type if you're gonna use a lambda expression and I'm gonna actually use a lambda because I Don't want to create a struct just to pass in a comparator. So That's that part. I'm gonna do auto comparator is gonna equal to this function and I think you have to have a semicolon if I recall. Yeah Okay, the functions are going to take in a pair of int char and we're gonna call this left and then pair int char Right so We have to think about this We're gonna return if the number of occurrences are the same So if left dot if the number of occurrences are the same, so let's say I have a is equal to two and B is equal to two we want the lower value of the Alphabetic order of the characters are here first. So if first is equal to right dot first We want the lower value of the character You we want the lower value of the alpha you we want it to be sorted in Alphabetical order from the lower value first. So we want the minimum lower value. So we want a to go first so Yeah, to write a comparator. It's actually better if you write it from the right side and then the left to make sure that you're actually Doing this correctly because it's harder under because comparators are weird in that what you think that is like a min heave is Actually different from axe heaps stuff like that. So I like to do it from the right side first. So if right dot Second is greater than oh is less Because we want the we wanted to be in alphabetical order from lowest to highest For the letters. Yeah, so we're gonna sort the letters in alphabetical order from lowest to highest Right that second lesson then left dot second. Okay Otherwise we want the Higher count to go first, right? So whatever is a higher count, we're gonna go make that go first. So we're gonna do right dot The higher count is gonna be first red dot first is greater than left dot first So that means that if I have a number of occurrences to and B is number occurrences one It's gonna put a two first and then be one Next value and then all those that do that thing. Let's submit. I hope this is right Compile error something something happened a compile error invalid pair char Was invalid pair into char which one Which is invalid? Dexie all type comparator. It's right Let's see. Let's see if my comparator They're right it correctly compare Okay, I'm going to do is the problem here I'm gonna call it compare. Maybe it's something has to do with the naming. It could be it I don't know. Oh, it's oh wait. No, it's I think it's No, wait, that's not it Still compiler. What is the problem argument to is invalid Uh Dexiel type Deck. I'm pretty sure it's that's right. Dexiel type compare That's right A priority queue Compare, that's right I don't know what's the problem. You know, am I writing a fear wrong auto compare left bracket right bracket Auto compare is equal to left bracket right bracket pair Left right pair left right. Okay left off first is equal to right. Yeah, should be right What is the syntax error? priority queue pair into char priority queue a vector pair and Oh, oh, I had an extra brace. That's why our extra bracket less than time Um, okay, so another priority queue is not cleared in the scope. What do you mean? I named I spelled it wrong. I need to do this one also Uh, and it got accepted. Yeah, so that's how you do this problem Uh The tricky part is the comparator You should write it based on the right right first and the left The reason for that is that will actually help you keep track of which one's alphabetical order Uh, and which one isn't so like if left if right is less than left That means that it's a min. Uh, the smallest value is going to go first if right is greater than left. That means the The uh, larger value is going to go first. But yeah So, yeah, that's how you do this question. I got a hundred percent Speed uh rate com subscribe. I'll check you guys later. Peace


So, I will tell you that in my background, I was an archaeologist and anthropologist and back in the 90s, I was using SPSS on a mainframe. And if I had been able to submit my project profile back then I would have had the SPSS. And what a lot of people don't know is that SPSS means statistical processing for the social science is and I was using it for demographic distributions as well as like, you know, looking for shards and shards over geographic geographies. So, one of the things that I have just been trained to think like is as a social scientist and when we started to steer towards, you know, being able to differentiate what we do with data and the scientific method to solve our business problems or clients business problems. Is we started to think about, you know, how do we want to show up as a corporation. And thankfully we have a very long history of really data responsibility where the, the data, the data and the insights belong to our users to belong to the creators of that data. And, you know, with that, we have now established an ethics board and I am a representative of our trustworthy center of excellence where we have really enabled the humans to think a little bit differently. And so when we created, and I think that this was out of sheer necessity that we needed to show people what, what is the difference between a data science experiment and scaled AI. And when we set about to create this method, which is a formal method within IBM, we remixed Chris DM, which is the methodology that comes with SPSS that we inherited as IBM when we purchased SPSS. And it is, it is with intention that we all chose Chris DM because it starts with the business problem and understanding that business problem. And when I was an archaeologist and an anthropologist before I would go listen to a story and do an ethnography. It was required for me to document how I was feeling, how I was thinking what what my mood was. And that was something that I believe strongly that we bring to the table when we start to look at data and we start to scale out understanding how to look at data. We need to understand our own cognitive biases. So the mixture between social science and mathematics between soft and hard quantitative and qualitative semantics and statistics. All of these things come together. And with that, I'm going to let router do the do do his interpretation of how we have now taken and created the scaled data science methodology. And we put it out there so that everyone can at least see and understand. What are the 254 different work products and 53 different roles that you need in order to really perform a scale data science project. So with that router. Let me go back for you. Sorry. That's that's easy to see why now. Thanks, Beth. And, you know, what what I often have to do when when I talk about this presentation and this topic to people is almost, let's say, explain a bit why it says best practices because because sometimes that that leads people into thinking things that, you know, we we don't intend. So so in the very beginning, and especially when we're working with with junior data scientists, that's that that that came up. Often some or a lot of times the expectation was a bit like, you know, I expect best practice to tell me like, hey, you know, this type of situation, this type of model will work best. And, you know, and that is not that is not the level of detail or not the level of, let's say, determine deterministic aspects that a lot of the the industry applications of data science have. And I'm reminded of this and Alex asked the question Q&A a bit before, you know, sometimes, yes, we do publish research papers and what had happened a couple of years ago. Was that I was actually working on a joint research paper with an oil and gas client about predictive seismic modeling. And we were we were benchmarking several physical approaches with with, you know, machine more machine learning driven approaches. And, you know, from from from a research team, we were told that we were going to get reviewed by an expert, not the dual PhD but quadruple PhD. So that was that was a very tiny bit intimidating. And so we went into those day long review sessions.  And this program, this hyper parameter is strongly tuned, et cetera, et cetera. And what we came away with was really where he said, you know, the approach is solid, the model selection strategy is solid. You could try some Bayesian modeling. But I also don't know, maybe like without trying it, I don't know whether that will be better. So so so that is kind of the level of, you know, certainty on on approach that someone with years and years and years of studying experience was able to put on a very ill defined problem. So so when when we talk about, you know, best practices for our practitioners and our profession, let's say, population, we are talking much more about, okay, what are some of almost the the philosophical thing, what are the big picture items that we want you to get right that we want you to be aware of.  Yes, you want to have a solid model selection strategy with that. That's almost one one level down. And then there's something where and this is this also links back to that conversation I had with that three candidates that said, well, you know, no one is here at this point to put your projects under a loop and saying like, oh, you should have used a random hyper parameter tuning here versus a grid search. No one no one here is to provide that level of scrutiny because we don't know yet what that matters. You were here to see, are your choices properly motivated? And do you understand the context in which you operate? So so that is, you know, the important caveat I tend to give people when when I talk about data science best practices. And, you know, and the reason I care about the same storyline that that that Beth is was expanding upon here is that we talked about her being an anthropologist and everything that comes with that. I'm a psychologist. So that that that makes us quite a duo. You can imagine in in some of the IBM calls. But, you know, that that also means that for me, I haven't gone from psychology to neuroscience to to let's say more general data science. What I also tend to care a lot about is the scientific method. And I also spend quite a bit of time coding high coding up hypotheses in SPSS. But I care a lot about how questions are formulated and what kind of the impact is we tend to have. And for me, data scientists is therefore a very, very general term. I think we mentioned the Harvard Review thing from a couple of years ago before. And I think in the wake of that, sometimes we've tended to or some companies have tended to define data scientists as people that, you know, take data, put the algorithm on, take the output. And for but for me, it's much more than that for me, it is, you know, taking the right type of decisions based on the information available. And, you know, whatever the tooling set there is, that is very open. And when you think about then, you know, the scientific method and how we're doing this in data science is, you know, that aspect of it has sometimes been a bit, let's say, less illuminated, less reaffirmed. By the way, some of the some of the profession talks have been going. And what we were thinking of doing is, you know, how can we how can we help that because ultimately when when we work with clients, but also when clients work internally, that is something that has impact. I don't know how many of you've seen that, but sometime earlier this week on archive, a paper got published that that was called how to fool the masses with machine or 10 ways to fool the masses with machine learning. And it kind of used all these kind of, well, inadvertent tricks that that people can pull with numbers and with with data science methodology and with machine learning to, you know, give the appearance. Of impact, but not the actual realization of impact. And this is, you know, this is a huge problem in a sense that all those companies that that tried dipping their toes in the data science field five, six years ago. 50 60% of them, you know, two, three, two, three years later was scratching their heads and going. It's weird. I have 30 people working on this. I have no impact, or I have, you know, 60 people doing data processing. I have no models in production, or I don't know what these models are doing. And, and so, so what, what week we got to see what the questions we were asked often as, as consultants in the field was, you know, where is that gap coming from because I did all the things that, you know, the strategy agencies and everyone else were telling me to do. And so why, why did I end up with, let's say, a mirage of value rather than rather than something that's that is changing the way I operate. And, and, and this is really where we started thinking of, okay, what do we need to change about also the way we tend to do things and and Beth was mentioned before. Chris GM has long since been the standard of, of data science methodology. And you probably all know the phases where it has business and data understanding. There's, there's some feature engineering, there's model building, there's deployment. And, and, and, you know, that it is kind of the cycle to find the answer to the question that that people used to have like tell me something about my data that I didn't know. I didn't know yet. And that was valuable. And, and the way that can have impact, the way that that knowledge would have impact was, was often undetermined. So, so companies who are not thinking through, well, once I know this, what does that mean? How will, how will that change things for me? And in addition to it being a very difficult question, because when companies said, you know, here's my data, tell me something I didn't know yet. Often data scientists were, were in a very tricky position because where if the data scientists would come up with something, something that was weird in that data or that, that stood out to them. Companies would either say, I knew that already that is too, that is too generic. I've seen that that's just the way my business works. Or that is so far outside of how I thought I would be operating. That can't be true. There must be something that, that you did wrong. There must be something that is wrong with this data. Whatever might, might be the, be the excuse of the time, but it was very hard to calibrate the, let's say that finding into something that was novel, both novel and accepted. So we started thinking about, okay, what does, what do we need to change in that life cycle to, to go straight through to, to impact so that we are no longer doing, you know, science on just the lab route. But, but that we have it, that we have the, the, the properly scaled version, and that we solution for impact. And, and we started thinking about, okay, what, that means it's not just data scientists. We talked at the end of the previous section about data access, about domain driven design, about domain expertise, about exposing, you know, the standard data through a set of API. So that, that's the master data gets, you know, properly followed up, et cetera. So, so here are all the things we started bringing together into that, that scale data science method. And yes, it has the aspects of Chris PM and it has, you know, proper data engineering. It has proper ML engineering. But it also has things like DevSecOps and security by design because a data scientist will need to work with people before putting something in production where we can prevent. You know, data extraction like malevolent data extraction taking place or where, you know, high volume calls of the API can actually reveal data that should be secured by design. We talked about test driven design because, you know, we want to make sure that the systems we build hold up under all the circumstances. That's the data we'll throw at them. So, and this is something that is all far too common because so we've worked with companies that, for example, said, you know, my model worked when I tried it in my notebooks. I deployed it to production. Things don't seem to work that well. It turns out that, for example, all the data that was coming from Japan, China, from Russia with where the characters of the text were non-western was getting filtered out. So that is something that was not tested for that was not checked in production. And, you know, that obviously had impact on how that company was operating. Seth talked about enterprises, I think, for data and AI. So that goes in. So all of these different disciplines is something that we're putting together into that scale data science method because I think also from the beginning when we came to this profession, we've always said data science is a team sport. And this is really how we try to formalize that because Chris BM by itself wasn't something that was acknowledging that fact that explicitly if you go to the next slide. And so what we've taken is really, you know, these sections of Chris BM, these critical steps that we expect data scientists to be able to take, business understanding data, understanding data preparation, etc. etc. And embed them into, let's say, into what we call, let's say that garage innovation loop. So the enterprise design thinking workshops are really our guidance for doing business understanding and data understanding with those ethical considerations with that human and center. That Seth was talking about when we are talking data preparation and modeling that goes together with the people that know the master data around the availability of these APIs that know what needs to be changed, that know what the lineage and provenance of this data has been within the company, etc. And, you know, when it comes to, when it comes to then showing impact with these models, this kind of workflow also takes into account, okay, an AB test to show impact. If that is successful, how would then a team operate such a model? How would we make sure that a model gets refreshed from time to time? How do we make sure that the model is still valid when a law changes, when a business rule changes? And how do we make sure all those different steps of the business, of the world we built this model in, that they act in concert?  This represents over 254 different work products that we have examples for and 53 distinct roles. And, you know, front to back, it is an incredibly large effort to be able to get your data science team to be able to express their models as an API using code architecture so that the human being can get the right information at the right time to make the right types of decisions. And this is how we build out, we call them intelligent workflows. But it is not a solve problem of what information, what human being needs at what time to take what information or to take what action. And I think that more than anything, we want people to understand that if you don't have your test retest reliability for your data science output, then you lose trust. And this goes back to what Seth was talking about earlier as well. You lose trust with your users and you cannot have impact with your data science project. And that's something that I think that I want to steer people to is that it is the human being that we are augmenting with the right information. And that takes an incredible amount of understanding of the business process and the domain expertise to tie it back to what we have. In addition, Rader, do you want to talk just a couple minutes about what we have open sourced as far as our best practices? Yeah, absolutely, Beth, because I did talk a bit about these are all the things that go into that full system design. We had a challenge there internally for a data science population as well, because we also had so many practitioners that grew up with Chris, building models is my job, and we had to think about how do we enable thousands of practitioners as well to know what they need to know about data management and how that feeds into the models they build, to know what they need to know about ongoing quality measurements. So we developed an internal training, but we also wrote down everything we taught in the training and we open sourced that. So what we did is about 21 chapters from everything from what does a diverse project team look like to use it to recommendations on scalability. We have cloud deployment patterns in there to empower our data scientists and widening their view really. And so the link is there. So like we said, that's completely open sourced. We use that also to drive some publications for example IEEE, but this is how we built our internal community and drove that kind of next step. And like Beth said, this is not a solved issue. This is also why we open sourced it so that there's iteration and there's community around this. But this is the approach we took in terms of saying, let's just put it out there and continuously work on this over the next few years. And then part of, you know, part of what we were thinking too is like we wanted to make sure to show people where to start. And where to start is always with our data and then AI and it's understanding the problem that we need to solve. And I have got to tell you that working with our designers on creating this very comprehensive set of workshops of work products of procedures to get at the intent. It has been such a phenomenal discovery because a lot of where people want to use AI or where they want to apply data science. Most of it typically comes down to understanding what is the business need and how do you get that right information to the right time to the right person. And so that that person can take the right action hopefully for growing the business. So with that, I definitely wanted to stop sharing and see if we can field any questions or if there's any comments. I don't see any questions in the panel. I am curious if you can talk a little bit more about the decision to open source the. The data science best practices. I mean, it seems like a really great thing for for the industry and for practitioners and just sort of what went into that decision. So we, with our acquisition of red hat, you know, a lot of our company is shifting culture, and we're shifting from, you know, proprietary products to more open source and I think that we can see this shift within the industry. I briefly mentioned this before there's always trade offs. When you, you know, I think that the log for Jay issue that just happened to all of us is a great example.  I am always surprised, and I love being surprised and delighted by the next generation's version of what what we are doing. And how does the next generation take, you know, some of the principles of the past and remix it and make it relevant for today. So I think that that is something that, you know, we believe in strongly and it's part of our ethos and atmosphere and our ethics to be able to share our expertise with others. I don't know any other company that could have really put together, you know, our data science methodology and some of our best practices, because we have that that variance and we have that breadth in the depth. So we want everyone to contribute. We don't think that we've solved it and we don't think that we can solve it alone. We need we need everyone to help. And we tried to make as much space as possible. And I think that one of the things that, you know, I am personally learning always is to welcome feedback. If if I can, can I cannot do to that best because so I think from, let's say our culture and direction that that's completely accurate and complete. The other thing that that's, you know, I think is a bit of a factor or at least was to me was time in the sense that a lot of the data scientists, I would say they're, they're growing up almost to use that term perhaps a bit wrongly. But, you know, the the the open source culture is a lot more ingrained into into the group that is now, you know, mid-level managers get that's getting to senior positions, etc. Then it was, you know, 10, 20 years ago. But I think Beth and I both talked about how we still did a lot of things, you know, in SPSS and that we coded our analysis that way. A couple of years after I stopped doing that, the most of the faculty was using our as as as open source software. So, you know, it's also an acknowledgement of the fact that that a lot of this big chunk of this population will put a lot of trust in open source and the open source community and has that as their homes. And, you know, it is also so it's also a reflection of us seeing that that, you know, the makeup of this profession change over time and and, you know, wanting to be a part of that. Okay. So, a couple of other questions have come in one from my colleague and your former colleague on Dr. in this day and age. How do we ensure data transparency and avoid bias? I have seen researchers look for the right statistical analysis that supports the original thesis. But this may not actually support ground truth. How is IBM working to avoid this in data science and AI. I think you have to train the human as I alluded to earlier. You know, there are some of the work that we get to do again through our Academy. Recently, we just did one on using the Titanic data set and using that to understand survivability and people in steerage would never have gotten on on a boat because of their socio economic class. And we think in terms of biases, but, you know, there's statistical bias and there's skew and there's, there's lots of things mathematically. But when we are talking about AI that impacts human beings, we need to talk about cognitive biases and we need to talk about our own understanding of having a diverse amount of people thinking through the problem. Because it is, it is always the underrepresented and the, the, the person that is not on the data science team that is typically the one going, hey, how come Alexa doesn't hear my voice. And every single time we think through that we have enough of a variance. We need to start thinking differently about looking at algorithms and looking at who, who they are benefiting the output is the output benefiting a certain amount of people over another person. And I think that that's a really good way to start to think through some of these things. It is a very complex, hard problem to solve. And I think that we, we really are just at the beginning, I will add that's, that's another reason that I want so many more people to. I want to democratize how many people are understanding that algorithms are only probably correct some of the time and that probabilistic thinking is something that we need to engender in, in this next generation, if not ourselves. Okay, and so 1 final question, where can people find information about the date, the IBM data science apprenticeships. That is a great question. I'm positive. It's, it's probably on our IBM.com website somewhere. And we do have an excellent apprenticeship program. And, you know, part of the work we do and I get to do is with our P tech students, which is our pathways to technology, where we take students who are 1st generation of high school graduates. And we have, and they, the P tech, when you graduate from high school, you graduate with a 2 year associates degree. And we are making them part of our apprenticeship program and part of our IBM culture. Again, looking for that variance of thought so that we're, we're looking for people who, you know, come from a very different socio economic condition than some of the, the PhDs that work in our research team. For instance.


The products I have never reviewed on the show is the LiftMaster with the MyQ smart garage door opener and the reason I haven't reviewed it is because Steve and I installed it and it just worked.  It's a smart garage door and it's fabulous. I love it, but I didn't have a story to tell. So I stopped by the LiftMaster booth to talk to Kevin Brigham so he can tell you about these fabulous products and get the credit they deserve that I never gave you. Yeah, well thank you so much for coming by our booth today, but yeah, it's really exciting with the MyQ connected products. It really allows you to have the knowledge and be able to monitor and control just like what you're saying, right? To be able to know the status of your door at any time and the whole idea around this is bringing access points and being able to connect those access points. So the latest innovation we have that we just launched is we've taken our LiftMaster garage door opener. We actually integrated a video camera into it. So not only with our MyQ connected will you know the status, but you'll be able to visually confirm what's going on in your garage. Is your door actually closed? Did your kids come home from school or did your 16 year old borrow your car again and drive out the door with it, right? So it's all around those access points and getting visual confirmation is extremely important. So not only are you able to do that, but one of the other, so this is the MyQ app itself, right? You're very familiar with that. He's looking at an iPad right now. We're doing audio and video, so I'm going to talk along. So what you see is we're live streaming at the moment, but not only can you live stream, but you can actually take action.  I love the way it, so it's beeping and it does that to warn people. I think that it's going to. In the garage. We didn't need any instruction to know, oh, it would be dumb to just go and close the garage door. One little warning. Yeah, it's exactly right. Because security and safety is very important to us as an organization. So we wanted to make sure when we came out with a product that we wouldn't injure anyone in the garage. Right? It could be bad for PR. Exactly right. Absolutely. I hate that. Yeah. So not only do we have the integrated solution, but we also offer an accessory camera as well that you could actually, it has a magnet on the bottom that actually sticks to an existing garage opener. So even for you, Allison, if you wanted to add a camera to your opener because you have my cue already, you can do that. And again, it's integrated into the my cue app itself. So just took this little tiny camera. It's like a three by three inch camera and he just stuck it to the bottom of the garage door opener. That's awesome. Yeah. We're really excited about it. It really gives the opportunity for people that again, that have a my cue system already and an opener to get a camera. And actually that was one of the things I really liked was we had a little lift master, but then we wanted the smart access and we were able to add that on. You didn't make me buy a whole new garage door opener. We were able to add modular. Right. You purchase the hub and you can get my cue access to any garage door opener. That's absolutely. Oh, okay. That's great. Yeah. It's a universal product. Absolutely. So not only that, but we continue to look at access point and that other access point is your door from the garage into your home. So what we've done is we've actually partnered with Yale locks. So Yale lift master and we have a smart lock now. So not only can you control and monitor your garage door, but now you can actually lock your entry door into your home itself. That's great. Now you've got one that looks like a double lock and another one with the swivel handle. Correct. Yeah. There'll be different models available like you're explaining now. Absolutely. So I gotta tell you, my husband Steve here just had to remove that kind of a door handle from our daughter's door, internal door, because her dog kept opening the door. Oh my gosh. He was turning the handle and pulling it towards him. Wow. So he was getting out of the house. I couldn't figure out how he was getting out. And they finally caught him on it. So we could defy him if they had one of these. You could have defied him. Yep. You would have not only known the status, but you'd have been able to lock the door so you wouldn't be able to lock it. Dodger, get back in. You did exactly right. Absolutely. We just put a round door handle on was how we foiled them. This is a dog that we have actually, they had to put child proof things on the oven because he kept turning the gas on. I think he's trying to kill them. Yeah. Sounds like it.   That's the way to go. Yeah. So something else I wanted to bring up as well. So with our MyQ technology, we've actually partnered with Amazon and we provide in-garage delivery now.  So do they notify you and you open the garage for them? Through the entire process, you're notified when the driver arrives. The MyQ and Key by Amazon will alert you when your door is opening and it'll also let you know when the door is closed. Am I the one who opens it or are they? So the driver is the one that opens the door but they don't have access to that door unless they're at the right home with the packages that are supposed to be delivered there. So we've made sure to have all the security points taken care of in addition to the driver has to stand at your door and wait for the door to fully close before they're allowed to leave. So that way no one can access your home at any point. For the audio listeners, I have my skeptical face on right now to that idea but it could be, it could be. I'd like it a little bit better if I got to be the one to open it and close it but we'll see, we'll see. So not only that but you could, again, you could add the camera and you could visually confirm what's going on with the delivery. And then I could have a MyQ door lock to my house so that they don't get into the house after that when they're playing around with the garage. When the driver shows up at your home to deliver your package, they go to open the door. Your MyQ, your smart lock would automatically lock, preventing them from breaking that threshold. They could not go through the threshold of your garage then. You guys have thought of everything. This is fantastic. So where do people go to find out more about all these products? So they could visit liftmaster.com to get all the information in regards to our integrated video solution, the accessory camera and the smart locks as well. Very good. Thank you so much, Kevin. Thank you so much. This is really cool and I love my MyQ system. It's great. Thank you to the customer.


Your boy is not getting wax good try bud. I know you wanted the pictures I know you wanted the 64k ultra HD zoomed in shot of me getting wax And yeah, I know exactly what you were gonna have me wax Well, guess what bud? You're gonna have to go to the hub for the third time today is it ain't happening Yeah On the cheat sheet still imaginable for the wheel of 2k revamped Seizing is one body shot from destroying pause an Instagram picture of your guys choosing a henna tattoo Group chat my exes and then I could still simp excessively. I guess that's still possible It's on the table if I lose only one more game and I could still have to do the 9 and 3 challenge where I call my friends But that's me going undefeated. I don't think so, but I'm so close to knocking out one body shot from D2 And I really don't want to do that. I mean obviously I don't want to do really any of this I don't know why I'm subduing myself to this, but it's all for the content, baby All I care about is the boys.  I really don't know. Oh my god. Okay. It's happening But our squadron is looking kind of sexy. No lie there Fox Michael Jordan Jason Tatum who technically has an invincible I don't know how to get it. If someone wants to let me know that he awesome Yeah, if there's a 97 Jason Tatum He hasn't been on the auction house in a whole day and a half now, so I don't know So I guess we're sticking with what we got which I'm really happy about Seattle massage g4 and 3 I'm looking to add a replacement for Larry Bird Ewing or Vuchovic I think all of that is super realistic. Let's hop into this wheels, man, baby All right, baby You know what I would take store packs because I've been getting so lucky. I'm like back-to-back dark matters right now So that's possible take a team with jackpot is sexy I knew it. I'm a god. I'm a god One store bundle though. There's literally so much in the store. I have no idea what to get I almost don't want to open this bundle even though it kind of looks like the best because I feel like I just double up I'm Boris DL, but I could get symbol are Invincibles Ben Simmons, this is enticing Invincibles KG Invincibles Tim Duncan Sean Kemp Gary Payton Yo, you know what? I'm the Super Sonics, bro And those are two Super Sonics legend Sean Kemp Gary Payton both of these would be incredible over Ewing James Harden Kobe I got to go with this. I'm going full throttle. That's also very on-brand. I'm always full throttle, baby The full throttle super path I get a guaranteed player from a prior full throttle release Oh my gosh, I've only like two whole bundles. I think maybe three. I thought that was a dark matter already Hey, that's something baby a galaxy opal if it's a small forward. I'll be a happy boy 30 is that oh my god I'm trying to replace you bro out of position point guard center Larry bird big diamond here as well miles bridges Hey, I miss you alum want to see that first dark matter, baby. This is Larry bird.  Okay another pink diamond Mikhail bridges. I got both the m. Dot bridges Baby, let me see Invincibles. I want to see Invincibles so bad. I want kg or Tim Duncan I would go insane support zingas. I'll take it. I will absolutely take it flash flips for zingas. Hey Let's go. This is 10 at 20. We're right at halfway lots of pink diamonds Sergei Baca Sergei block ya Okay, it's that it's that it's open that via dark matter.  Okay. I'm gonna say Alex a poker chef ski not bad Not bad yikes, am I really gonna only get one dark matter? I'm actually kind of shocked a decent about a galaxy opal is this might not have been the bundle to open But I got for zingas. I got Tony Allen. I will be alright. I might get something else too number seven shooting guard The Jalen Brown I presume I don't mind that actually I don't know if I'm gonna like Terrence Ross or him better. We'll have to see what we do here We'll have to see we do we're gonna get another pink diamond and then our 20 of 20. Come on, baby clutch up I need that least come on one more dark matter. It's at least a galaxy opal Invincibles Tim Duncan do it, baby. Do it, baby. No, did I just wait wait? Maker dude, isn't he gigantic? Oh, no, he's not absolutely massive. He's very big though seven foot to 21 I so Larry bird. You're for sure coming out, bro Let's look at Jalen Brown compared to Tony Allen because this is basically the debate for my backup small forward There's no doubt in my mind that Tony Allen is a better defender I guarantee he will clamp Allen can rebound better and he cannot shoot as well, which is not surprising at all I'm gonna go with Jalen Brown.  We just changed this team up so much.   I'm so ready to hop into this game. Let's get it boys All right boys, we have been on a hot streak with the challenge wheel packs We got a dark matter in the last two episodes and we got two dark matters in that bundle Our tool I was hoping this one wouldn't go through this one is tough Honestly, cuz it's just tough to get and ones in this game also huge Thank you to dr. Squatch for sponsoring today's video if that name rings a bell to any of you You might remember their awesome Super Bowl commercial with this guy your soap is Switched to dr.

Well, hi there! I'm Sandy Olnop, artist and paper crafter here on YouTube, and I'm going to be journaling in my Inspire Bible today, doing some simple backgrounds. You don't have to be a fancy artist to do these backgrounds. The Inspire Bible is one that was sent to me by Tyndale. Thank you to them for sharing it with me so that I could share it with you. This is the Bible that has the pre-printed verses in it, and I've shared this before. I want you to read the verses. If you get this Bible, just Pinky Swear with me that you will do that so that you can actually learn something and not just turn this into a coloring book. So today I'm going to be coloring a background for this verse on the right-hand side. What I usually do when I set up my Bible journaling is to try to equal out both sides. So I put a little notebook under the left-hand side, depending on the height that I need to make it sort of flat and a little easier surface to work on. For my palette, I'm going to use a tile, an 89-cent tile from the hardware store, and I'll be using my Hydrus watercolors. Hydrus watercolors I like, especially for this technique, though you can use it with any watercolors because I can just drop the watercolor onto the palette super easy like this. I don't have to mix anything up with a brush or anything. It's just really, really straightforward and simple. You can put some paper underneath of the page, but I'll show you one where I don't do that, and the result is the same. I'm going to use baby wipes to paint with, just regular old baby wipes. I'm going to drop a little bit of water. I'm just using a dropper that I have so that I can just get a little bit of water to water down the color. The Hydrus colors can be really strong. The yellows I found I can use full strength, but some of the other colors, you're going to want to water them down because they're going to be really super strong. Test them on some pages in the back of your Bible just to make sure you're not going to be unhappy with the result. But with the baby wipe, all I had to do is dip it in the color and then just start kind of smooshing it on here. I want a soft sort of flowy watercolor look and not real fancy, not real swanky. I'm just letting the color be on there. Took a clean baby wipe and now I'm just going to move some of that around anywhere where I got some more solid places where I wanted it to be a little bit softer. This watercolor does stay. Like once you put it down, it tends to stay there. You can do a little bit of lifting, a little bit of moving, but if you put down too much color, it's going to be an issue for you. Now, right now you're going to probably look at this and go, Sandy, I can't read that. That's a mess. Don't play with me. I want to be able to read my Bible. Well, I'm going to put another piece of computer paper on top and iron it. This is just a hot iron. You can see exactly how long I'm doing it. This is real time. Doesn't take much at all to just iron over it, both to flatten it out and it will also dry it. You could let it air dry and then do your ironing later as well, but I'm just doing this to show you. Look at how great that comes out once you get the ironing done. I took out the paper because it's just going to be easier on my hand to be able to lay my hand down beside the Bible as I paint the lettering on here. I'm just going to use the same colors or the same color that I already have out on my palette and paint in there. I'm using a silver brush from the Silver Brush Company. Links are in the description down below, but it doesn't matter really what brush you use as long as you can get one that has a small enough point to go into the small lettering. This Bible does have very small, small spaces. So I'm using a number four here. You may want to dodge down to a number two or a number three just because there are many in this particular Bible. They have very small spaces. You could also go in here with your colored pencils and do the rest of the stuff on top of this in colored pencil because there's a little more control if you're not somebody who's familiar with mediums. I put together a Bible journaling class on my website where you can learn a lot about different mediums, which ones go through, which ones don't, and my recommendations for how to test with mediums that you have. But one of the pens that I would recommend if you want to just go in and do your lettering with a pen would be the Micron series of pens. They have black ones. They have colored ones. They have ones with a brush tip as well as just ones that are normal pen size in a bunch of different nibs.  Doesn't take a whole lot of massive talent or anything to do a beautiful background like this. I thought I'd show you one more and a little more about how I may apply this in a different way. This purple is a really strong color and I wanted to be careful with it. I put some water in it and my palette got a little bit out of control because I probably put more purple on there than I intended originally. I was going to do the whole page in purple but I decided I was going to instead just do a portion of the page in purple right around the rows. I wanted some purple coming up from that corner and then the purple felt too strong already on my baby wipe so I added more water and I'm going to pull color just from the part that has the most water in it first just until I'm sure of exactly how much color I'm pulling in and it's very faint here. So I got a little more confident and started dipping the baby wipe further into the pigment so that I could get a little bit more purple as I went and again on this one it's going to look like a mess until it doesn't so hang tight with me and I'm just going to apply the color with the baby wipe and as I get more confident I can dip deeper into the purple and give myself a little more color and you can do this tapping type of technique and it gives you just a little bit more of a look of mixed watercolor like just this texture that I find very beautiful. Some people don't like that at all and that's perfectly fine too.  You can see in this right hand side I did do some wiping and got some pretty solid areas but solid in a very light pink so I can still read the words. For me it's still really important to be able to read the scriptures not just have a beautiful thing on here that's going to cover everything up it's not about the art it's about the scriptures so I wanted to make sure that I kept that readable and I'm keeping my edges looking very kind of soft and painterly and then I ironed it and this is what it looks like after ironing so you can see very easily that you can actually see the words nothing comes through on the back just a little haze of color really is all you get on the other side and then I can go in with my brush once again and take those same colors that were on my palette and add my pinks and my reddish color into my flowers and then I'll use the reds and the purples on the words to get a two-tone look on the letters I'm painting the pink on the top and then just changing my brush color to the purple at the bottom and if you're using colors that are very different from each other you may want to rinse out your brush ahead of time the other way you could do it would be would be to paint the purple on the bottom and then the pink on the top and then just let the watercolor blend between the two of them and I'm dabbing off because I wanted a really soft look with the soft background so I dabbed off the color from both of those and my D went out of the lines I want you to see that because this is not about perfection Bible journaling is not about being perfect and creating amazing art it's about spending time in the Word of God if you're not spending time with him you're wasting your time trying to Bible journal so if you'd like to see a flip through of my Bible the video on the left is one that you might want to check out there's also the Bible journaling class on my website you can get a link to that in the description down below as well as the Bible that I'm using and the products that I use to paint with hit the subscribe button if you haven't yet and I will see you guys later on take care and have a great day


Hallå Laddingtons, det här är ett follow-up-video till min Gamen bookreview av The Witcher Så en komment Säg Det är åter Jag vill säga, Sapkowski hade plagiariserat Han är en karaktär Det är egentligen kopplat Ska någon annars jobba Och jag tittade på det och trodde att det skulle bli en bra idé att respondera till det, för jag trodde att det var lite Själv indeed Först och för mest Jag vill säga The contrarian nature of everyone who criticize him Whenever there comes anything popular You always have these guys just They have to go against the grain They have to be contrarian, they have to find faults And you know sometimes it's good to go against the grain It's good to say your piece if something is Obviously wrong So you know I say porn is wrong even though it's very popular Because I know it is wrong But Some guys, just for the sake of it, have to be Special unique, they want to be Apart from everyone else and saying you know this is bad So therefore they find faults In this case they find faults with the witcher because Yeah they want to be unique So they come up with these Points of contention Which I have looked into And I will refute them now But before I do so I would like to share some plans with you all My esteemed Subscribers I'm actually writing my second book right now It's not a fiction book It's more a Social, cultural and political analysis of a few things But in the long term I do want to write fiction Fantasy or history of fiction I just need to sharpen my pen a bit more So that's why I'm writing a second book now And also because I have a lot of things I want to say But anyway I thought to mention this before I actually release a Fantasy or Or the historical fiction book And that is also to do with Original ideas, original names, etc So that was just the preface of my Me refuting the points of contention So anyway, first thing The white wolf is a moniker used by Sapkowski The witcher, Geralt of Rivia Is called the white wolf And apparently the other Character is also called the white wolf and This is rather silly I would say The white wolf is hardly an original moniker I don't think he's the first fantasy author to use the name I don't think there Has never been a Historical figure who has been referred to as the white wolf or the wolf I call myself the lion sometimes just as Plenty of other historical figures or even fictional figures You call yourself the lion because you want to evoke a sense of Royal majesty, a sense of vitality and power That's why I do it, same thing with the wolf And I don't think The story would have been any less good if Geralt was called The strong bear or something like that Now of course a white wolf is more suiting because he has White hair Which is also the second point of contention Apparently the other character also Has white hair Now we can talk about blonde hair First and foremost you might wonder why my hair looks a bit Darker and a bit more dull now than it did when I had long hair Simply a matter of Sun bleaching, a lot of sun bleached A lot of accumulated sun bleached hair But Give it a few months, then Helios and Baldur will bless my My hair with golden luster again But anyway, speaking of hair Basically all other heroes have long blonde hair You can talk about be a wolf or Achilles or elven heroes Everyone basically looks the same Speaking of elven heroes, here is The most epic of descriptions Glorfindel var tall och strait Hes hair var av shinning gold Hes face fair, young, fearless and full of joy Hes eyes were bright and keen And his voice like music On his brows at wisdom And in his hand was strength So if I write A fantasy novel or a short story With a guy who has long blonde hair Would I have copied someone else's work No, it's just an archetype Same thing with having White hair You know, the story of the witch could have been equally good if he had brown hair It's not a big deal So just because two characters have the same hair color Doesn't mean it's copied Then the third point of contention Having a magical sword And I would say in basically all Fantasy stories you have magical swords It would be strange if a character didn't have a magical sword Even in the Arthurian legend you have Excalibur A magical sword It adds to the story It's nothing unique, it's nothing original When I write the story I would probably also have a magical sword In view with some sort of Cool thing or whatever So in my opinion The witcher isn't good because he is Using magic It's not good because he uses A magic sword, it's not good because he has a moniker That is a white wolf, it's not good because he has White hair, he could have had brown hair or blonde hair The series would have been equally good So it's not a success because he has similar attributes as someone else It's a success because it is written In an entertaining and interesting way I like them, I like the books because there is a lot of new and student In terms of geopolitics, economics Societal issues Even tolerance, as I talked about Sexual morality You know, he imbues the stories with a lot of relevant and interesting social commentary And that is also why I like it Because it creates a bit more It makes it a bit more immersive Than just having you know battles and heroics etc Now furthermore in regards to fantasy My favorite setting The Warhammer world Which is geographically speaking our own world But with some changes Also inspired by European history You have Kislev, which is Russia You have the Empire Which is basically the Holy Roman Empire And you have classical elves Which you know, for a contrarian guy He would say oh, these guys have just copied Tolkien's work And I would say no, they have just Built on Tolkien's characters They've just taken elves, put them in a different setting Add a bit of griminess to the dark elves Add a bit of new and to the high elves etc But I don't see it as something bad I just see it as a very nice setting And games workshop If you're watching this Please do release more books from the old world It's a superior setting to Age of Sigmar I'm sorry to say it, but you know it's true So anyway You don't always need to find You know, nitpick fault You can just enjoy a story So that was just my response to the controversy If we shall even call it that Of The Witcher So anyway, since this is A bit more light hearted topic I might throw in some other clips After this little sequence So yeah, enjoy that And as always Thank you for watching And I hope you're all staying safe I was supposed to post boxing footage But then I reminded myself That I will actually make a separate video Will be a quick heavy bag Workout you can do at home For everyone who is fortunate enough To have a heavy bag But anyway, I thought just Put in some gaming footage From The Witcher 3 Vesemir and Gerald are being attacked By a griffon here as you might see So yeah, again I will recommend the game Good times, good times And now the cuddle princess Demands my attention But yeah, thanks for watching I'll see you in the next video XOXO, boom!


When I think about what Jesus did How Jesus came into our world how Jesus's sacrifice isn't coming into this world Becoming a man and laying down his life to come from heaven on earth It's not the same as to leave a hotel and live on the street To come from heaven on earth is not the same as to leave a comfortable bed in your house with the AC and Living under the bridge where you see spiders and everything that is not an accurate Comparisment, but most of us wouldn't even do that But Jesus for the sake of us Leaves heaven where he spent eternity not few years eternity Comes into a new world where there is more than rats. There are sins. There is corruption There is oxygen. There is law of gravity that is sleeping walking There is all of these things and he completely immerses himself into this world But the amazing part is that he did not come into this world with the heavenly chariot heavenly bed heavenly throne heavenly rope and heavenly messengers He did not come into this world Like most of us go into other missionary trips bring 25 bags of everything that will ever need for us and our neighbors And we come into a missionary trip and there's literally all of our makeup all of our clothes and We pre-order hot water from somewhere. We find Wi-Fi We have everything that we had in the United States. The only difference is the coordinates are difference Jesus comes into this world not as just fully God He becomes a fully man means he strips himself of all the makeup of heaven and takes fully the makeup of the earth God who created the mouth had to learn how to speak God who created the knees had to learn how to walk God who initiated sleep and they had to learn how to sleep and get tired God who created everything Had to as a man learn It all as a baby a Billy Graham who is a very famous evangelist that all of us know about when he was a young man He said God revealed to him what the gospel is about from a story that he had experienced once as a young man He developed this fascination with ants With these little creatures that crawl in your house and sometimes outside of the house He said I was so fascinated by that I would come all the time and watch how they work together I watched their and hill I watched how they were so organized I watched how they seem to kind of not hit into each other But always kind of be so busy and everything and once a month in Billy Graham's house There was a man who would come with a pest control Well, he would come and spray certain things around the house and in the house to kill ants spiders and all other little creatures And here's Billy Graham sitting in front of his fascination the end hill Knowing that tomorrow a man is going to come and extinguish all of these ends out of his house and around his house He's a young boy He comes to his mom and he says mom. How can I warn them to leave the property? She said well, you can try did you try talking to them? He said well They're not responding He said I took the biggest biggest end into my hand and I told the biggest end every month Your kind gets removed from my property That day is coming tomorrow Can you gather the rest of the troops and tell them you have less than 24 hours?  Imagine leaving the world you are accustomed to imagine living the world you are so comfortable in and Going into a world that is under your feet Going into a world that is so insignificant Going into a world that is so Minor compared to your world Just so you could tell them that they are in danger So that you can be like one of them to guide them out of the truth the sacrifice that Jesus made if you can put a Slide back on the sacrifice that Jesus made is not only in coming into this world, but becoming an end Jesus became us Jesus became fully men Just so he can guide other men out of the danger That was coming upon our life, which was we were following Satan will following sin And you would think that's already hard But he didn't he wasn't the biggest end That had all other ends worshipping him when Jesus came on this earth. He wasn't fully welcomed his birth Was already an assassination note was written.  He had very few friends and very many enemies. He didn't live even up to 33 years Before people mocked ridiculed questioned blasphemy spit scorched plucked his beard out and blindfolded him and beat him and said prophesy Here is a God becomes a man to tell men you are headed in the wrong direction Here's a God who abandons the makeup of heaven who abandons the beauty and the glories of heaven and becomes literally worse in our comparison than an end to tell the other ends This is not the way to do it and at the end He sacrifices his life for the very ends. He came to show salvation That is sacrifice
