You run your lap, you try to pass the baton without dropping it, or it's like actors on stage, your actors on stage for a short while, you do what you can.

Alright Buffalo, our first time in the playoffs under Jim Liefer did not go as planned. We lost in the first round and it is offseason time so quickly I was just looking at some of the pending free agents that we have this upcoming offseason and Patty Kane is top of the priority. I do want to bring him back depending on the dollar value. Asplan depending on the dollar value, Colton we could probably drop, we have some very good centers, Craig Smith we could probably get rid of, Bryson like not too many people that we will be signing gold tending wise, we're going to drop Elliott and maybe try to get a better back that's not 40 years old. Now looking at pending free agents here guys, if they don't sign with their teams we got Austin Matthews, Sydney Crosby, Rantonin, Tolvionin, Buchnayvich, Bifield, Chitrin, Velardi, Bowquist, we got some big names out there. So again depending on the dollar value that Kane wants we're going to have to wait. Now looking at our contracts I was also looking at this off video center wise. This is why I'm saying it's okay to drop a Ross Colton or an Asplan. Our four centers are going to be Thompson, Cousins, Krebs, and Middlestad that's a pretty good four center core. Now Krebs might not be playing so we'll throw him on the left wing so we got 1, 2, 3, maybe sign an Asplan or a Colton depending on the dollar value as well. Looking at our left wings it will be Olufsen, Engvall and Krebs so we could get a probably third or fourth line left wing, right wing, Kubelik, Tuck, Nita Ryder, Halton and if we bring back Kane we would get rid of one of maybe Nita Ryder or Tuck obviously keeping Kubelik and Halton and I think is going to be playing up here in the NHL this time around. Defensively we could use right handed shots we know our left side is pretty good right now. Right handed shot that's really good right now is Henry Yoki Haru so if we can get a replacement for Labouchkin or Zubin then move one of the two would be great get some cap that way and goal tending we're going to let UPL run with it again I think he had a very good season last year I don't see an issue with him alright so I think those are the changes that we're looking at again I think Halton is going to be playing up there in terms of Savoy he I think he might be playing up with this team wherever he is I'm not sure where he is actually where is the main roster in the system yeah so looking at Savoy he I think he also makes it up as well I think he's ready to go 21 years of age so that's another center that we can probably get rid of who would we get rid of maybe we don't have to sign an asplan then you know what I mean and throw KC Middle stat like this is a thing is our center core is so good I don't know where to put anyone right so well that being said I don't know if we're gonna have any good draft picks but listen to the NHL entry draft the cap is up to 94 mil which is pretty good so that looks good there like I said I don't think we're gonna have a good draft picks Seattle gets the first overall pick Montreal went from eight overall to second that's crazy are we anywhere in there no we are not okay so that is fine that is fine we're not a team looking to draft right simple as that let's look at the draft class here we have a Gem and Misa who support well we did not do any good scouting apparently Misa doesn't look like anything too good I don't know I don't think we did scout into all this year I thought I you know what I think I forgot to do up midway through the season anyways doesn't really matter we're not drafting so it's all good if you retired players have we lost any players to retirement so Eric stall has gone Peron's gone Luchich Neil step on Golgowski Petrie Clutterbuck strawman not seeing any Buffalo Sabres on this list and that is good all right so no one getting lost to retirement Golgowski Petrie are now scouts for the penguins and flames all right cool continue seven I don't think we're making any moves come each the draft here if there's anyone that's gonna go like I said defensively we can definitely get rid of someone being a right-handed shot which would be Labushkin and would be Zube so those are the two that for sure I'm good with getting rid of other than that man I don't think there's anyone else that I really want to get rid of again looking at our center core here one two three four like we can get rid of the contracts of Asplin but they're like both of these guys are on expiring deals right left wing we're not getting rid of anyone in the left wing left wing right wing maybe throw like a neater rider and a tuck there just to see what we can get for either of them we could possibly move one of them if we want to keep Kane and then looking at our draft pick our first round pick for 2025 is that the year that's not the right year give me the right here a year okay so we don't have a first round pick for this year okay our second round pick and that looks good to me right sir well what do we want we want a third line scoring forward 17 to 30 sure we want a right-handed defenseman top four would be nice and that looks good to me alright so everything is good there we're all set up for the draft just to see if we get any trades come in our way right so doesn't look like we're gonna be making any moves we don't have a pick in the first round which is all good maybe we can try to find some trades so who are the guys that we were looking to get rid of here right so again like do we want to move these guys just yet probably not until we get someone that we know is gonna come on to the team like Ilya Labushkin find a trade is anyone we're gonna want you to Labushkin so we got draft picks draft picks anyone any anything that we're interested in here so far it's just draft picks like Oscar Limblum I mean that contract no vassal or Vlasik definitely not nothing that I'm really liking there in terms of our forwards that we were willing to give up you know need a rider is he gonna give us anything interesting on the block so that Robertson guy Markov just a bunch of young guys that we're not really looking for alright so nothing for need a rider if we were looking for tuck let's say Alex tuck find trade 15 trades anything that's a little interesting here not that I really see and like some of these moves we can just make yeah so we'll just wait because we don't know who we're signing it right so this will be a quick little draft to be honest or I sim to pick 43 we're not gonna give her a pick is there anyone that's out here that's looking somewhat decent it doesn't really look like it we had an HL top six forward Reeves sniper the there any gems left they are not go back to potential 63 like these guys supposed to go low if we're looking at ranking here core core Lev is supposed to go next right wing I mean would mesh well in the locker room why not core love welcome to the Buffalo Sabres organization right now like I'm not really focused on our draft picks like you know what I mean it might be stupid to say but yeah we're looking at the Ivan beer burry left wing let's look at the ranking here like who's the burry supposed to go next elite medium elite low we'll take a shot with burry why not and then we'll sim to pick 118 we're just going quick here like I said you guys might hate the way I'm doing this right now and I apologize if you guys do not like it but we're just trying to go quick here are there any goaltenders that have like a lead medium or anything like that all right so we did not do any good any good scouting for goaltending we're looking at elite low yeah yeah come off why not welcome to the to the franchise to the team sim to pick 150 Semyonov elite medium is there anyone with like full bars we have this guy start off for some reason send it in wheels why not a lot of wingers were drafting here sim to pick 182 blink 182 all right elite medium anyone that were really like keen on okay our drafting did like we just did not do good with drafting here let's go with top six forward yeah why not another winger okay and let's send the entire draft all right so we made a couple of draft picks there Korolev burry Yakimov's Kovacs and Frolov all right those are their draft picks for for this year but we're more focused on the resign stage and we are more focused on free agency as well so apparently who needs contracts to this say who needs a contract I'm not sure does this say who needs contracts here got you okay so these last guys here you go just bring them back why not something not to worry about for the time being all right and we'll see if they want to come back there okay so that's that and okay all right so resign stage like I said Patrick Kane being the one guy that we're looking at to bring back how much that you want you know what I okay first off we've 18 million cap space okay we can bring Kane back for a year at 5.4 I feel like that's a good that's not a bad thing to do let's do 5.5 to bring Kane back for a year and we'll go from there right Asplin I don't think we were bringing back Colton I don't think we're bringing back right away Craig Smith we're gonna release Bryson we are going to release Pederica we're going to release Roosta Lyman let's release we will qualify you we will qualify you yeah I mean you're 21 years of age we'll just bring you on to the team we don't want to lose yet just in case okay Malikov all right qualify you I mean these guys are 20 like they could potentially be something worst case you know in three years we'll say see you later all right so that's that and then goal tending Brian Elliott we are getting rid of we can qualify pro-steve and we can sign you 19 years of age get you your entry-level deal I don't think we I know Asplin I think we are bringing back let's do let's see if you'll do one year at 2.2 all right so let's see where that takes us and then we're good there right so advanced today these are our scouts saying yes Asplin wants more money Kane is back with the Sabres that is nice to see all these guys yeah it's an honor it's an honor cool all right so go back to resign phase Asplin wants a little more money all right so we'll give him a little more all expiring Colton we are releasing we are gonna release your 21 years old we'll bring in we have 13 mil a cap space so I'm okay with going into free agency with a little bit of cap space here so let's do one year we'll try to do 2.2.3 let's just get them on to the team we do need left-wingers all right so bang again those are scouts and you know what Asplin at this at this rate dude I don't want to give you more we're gonna let Asplin walk in worst case if we need to get them we'll go get him this way we have release you did I not offer you a contract I guess not all right this way we have 13 million cap space going into free agency and we could see what we want to do from there right so all our scouts have accepted and let's send to free agency all right let's do that those are the the UFAs that we qualified and now we are going to free agency to see who is in free agency for this year and oh my goodness all right so we got Miko Rantinen we got Pavel Bucinevich we got Chitrin we got Pro rough so our main our main get right now is definitely a left-winger we're looking at a coast in he is 88 overall 26 years of age I don't think he's going to be an 88 overall after we get him we are Madzukarello we got Taylor Hall which wouldn't be a bad shout he had a decent year last year who did he play with last year he was on the Bruins and was a minus 12 so that's a little concerning we got Gerietta we got Connor Sheary so left-wingers kind of not much looking defensively we do want a right-handed shot Justin Hall Jet Woo Coughlin so not too much and then we do need a backup goaltender as well who could be a good backup for us here Braden Hopi wouldn't be bad 82 overall 35 years of age has that experience so that's not too shabby right so right now we're eyeing Hopi right wing I like Bucinevich for 9.1 I don't think that's worth it man Blake Wheeler like we need someone who could play the left one to Travis Koneckney wouldn't be a bad show two years at 3.4 we could get a Taylor Hall at 5.8 again we only have 13 mil of cop space to work with right now right wing our right D I don't know who we're going for we could go for a Justin Hall we could go for a Woo we could go for a Coughlin I'm not sure man there's not that many right-handed shots available I mean Schmidt Shea Theodore wouldn't be bad but for that amount of money I don't think is worth it so I really don't know what the play here is boys goaltending let's go ahead and wait on that I kind of want to get our players here so right now I don't know what the play is man I kind of want to go for Koneckney gritty guy fits offensive line one and power play one I don't think you'd be playing first line minutes so that's an issue right there left wing Taylor Hall offensive line two which is good but we're looking for like a third liner you know what I mean Brianna of offensive line to sherry to can someone play the third line alright so manji upon a five mil though I'm not a fan of that Jamie Ben offensive line three all forward lines all power play lines all killing lines I can sign them for a year at three point six I wouldn't mind that Jamie Ben wouldn't be bad at thirty five you okay let me see who our left wingers are for the year right now because in all honesty I forget and I don't want to make a stupid signing that's not going to make sense for this team alright so left wingers who would be starting for this team left wing Olasin and wall alright so yeah I mean a second liner would work to to be honest a second liner would work over Engvall so we could fit in a second liner and geez man this is hard I'm just trying to think of something someone that would fit you know what I mean so we're looking at left wingers here Taylor Hall fits line two five point a Yuri on off at an eighty six cut and that dollar amount to so let's go with Yuri on off as being one of the guys I could sign them for a one-year deal you know what two years he wants less let's do two years at two point eight and then we can go for like a lower valued guy like a Brandon Lemieux at one point three wouldn't be too bad eighty three overall I think Lemieux would be a very good shelter so let's sign Lemieux as well we'll do one year for him and he'll be making under league men which I kind of like so let's do that so that looks good there in terms of right defense men dude I don't know jet who is 24 we could take a shot with jet who give him a one-year deal I will like 1.6 I wouldn't mind that and then okay RFA definitely not a Justin Hall like do we bring in a Justin Hall is does he stay at an eighty four do we want to pay him that much you know what one year at two point let's see if he'll take two point seven two point seven five and maybe get a Justin Hall there we could bring in another right defense man could upgrade a Labushkin a Justin Braun wouldn't be too bad at that dollar amount dude had a decent little year played for the Devils 14 points minus three a Justin Braun wouldn't be bad so we can maybe bring him in man that's a lot of money for him Cody CC a 10 of would be good 35 years of age let's bring in a 10 of for one year see if you'll take two mil flat and then looking at gold tenders here I am still very much interested in where is he Braden Hopi bring him in for a year we'll give him 1.3 and I think that's all the offseason moves we need to make all right so let's start simming and see what we can get so zoob and his check for a third and a fourth will decline for now we don't know if those defense men are going to accept or not right so 10 of has rejected and we have a full roster oh no how do we have a full roster I hope those guys are still available man do we actually still have a full roster and those guys still available okay great honor okay so I'm assuming they're still there we have a full roster so we do got to go make those trades so let's just do this quick we have 50 out of 50 who are the guys we want to get rid of right now right that's the way we're looking at it right now so honestly defensively a Labushkin and a zoo could go if we're gonna be able to sign both those guys so let's let's quickly make those trades there a fourth and a seventh a fifth and a seventh fifth and a seventh and a seventh fifth and a seventh fifth and a fifth that's the best offer right now fifth and a seventh to tar no I think a fifth and a fifth is looking like our best offer right now Tampa still good so I don't really want to do that so fifth and a fifth coming from Edmonton we'll take that for Labushkin so that's one trade gone Artem Zube a fourth bunch of fourth-round picks we can get anything lower than a fourth that'd be good we could look at Thomas the tar again we do need a left winger right let's look at Thomas the tar worst case we're taking a fourth round pick Thomas the tar what are you saying my man are you still NHL worthy 78 overall I mean could be a good depth guy we're not trying to bring on contracts hello idiot I'm an idiot okay I'm back back to making a trade Artem Zube quickly making this trade here fine trade Anaheim's probably not great fourth round pick done okay in terms of we still need to free up a couple more contracts I might have to go buy out some of these guys of you contracts who are we buying out here okay Murray let's can we not buy out what I don't think we can I don't think we can so we're gonna just have to make trades here yeah I think you'd only buy out during free agency at least that's what it looks like so let's go make some more trades we just got to free up some some some players here man it's pretty essentially it right so people like these guys that what they're 20 and 17 let's look for older people that we know aren't going to play for this team 25 Picard can go 26 Murray can go Nylander probably stay so that's what two people let's go man I don't know if you're like 22 and still at a 67 let's get rid of you as well and 24 you know I will get rid of you as well all right so that's why I don't know like are we even gonna be able to get rid of a draft pick I don't think any of these teams are gonna want any of these guys unfortunately Vancouver you know what no let's throw players where players fit all right Arizona can you give us a seventh round pick all right cool so that's done and we got contracts that we are able to do all right so Arizona thank you for taking those players off of us all right now looking at left-wingers Gary Anna was one of the guys that we were looking at correct so Gary on off I think it was one year we were no we were saying two years at 2.8 so Dennis Gurianov was one of them there was one more left-winger we were looking at he might have gone already though do we I don't even remember who it was man damn yeah I think he was gone he's not here I would have remembered his name I feel like we could go JVR 36 2.6 wouldn't be bad either is not really intriguing me the noddle not really intriguing me Josh Bailey nothing much so let's go with JVR bring him in for a year at 2.2 I like that veteran presence of JVR defensively we were looking at right defense we were looking at Justin Hall we were looking at a one-year deal at 2.8 and then we were looking at who was the other defense we were looking at boys oh man he might have been gone as well all right so that's not good we could go brawn we could definitely go brawn Brent Burns is available man at an 81 he's 40 years of age though not really liking that yeah let's go brawn we'll do one year at 2.3 and then goal tending if Braden Holpe is still available I would love to bring him in still he signed elsewhere I feel like yeah geez man alright the goal tenders we were looking at that Braden Holpe contract would have been nice we could bring him at Murray I wouldn't mind a Matt Murray to be honest man he's won a cup we'll bring him in for like a year and let's do 2.7 and let's see if those guys accept man alright so here we go rookie GM mistake oh wow that Murray going back to Ottawa alright rookie GM mistake is what I was saying is I didn't know we were full of contracts so we still need a backup goal tender let's go quickly see who else is left on that marker for the backup goal tending position all right who's here Tarasov he's 26 83 overall not really like I want someone that's been through it you know what I mean like a good backup goal tender that's played a lot James Reimer I just love my former Leafs I wouldn't mind a James Reimer he had a 950 say percentage of three games played you know what we'll do a two years at you know what let's give him 0.925 and let's see if Reimer wants to come to Buffalo alright so advanced today we got a trade offer we'll decline that and let's see Grianov is a Buffalo Saber that's very cool to see JVR has accepted his offer Justin Braun has accepted his offer Justin Hall has accepted his offer and now I believe we are just waiting on James Reimer if I'm not mistaken so let's just wait on that and James Reimer has come to the team so looking at the caps situation we have one more contract left with a 9.8 million cap space left so if we really wanted to go out and make a little splash we could and Costin is kind of making it like do we risk getting him was this his first year okay so 26 points like I don't see him staying at an 88 overall we got Zuccarello we got Wheeler we got Shiri okay realistically before we go to sign a big name with the cap space that we do have left we have cap space we might as well use it right we have a contract slot we might as well use it alright so realistically looking at our center core it's going to be Tage Thompson Cousins middle stats avoid he okay left wings is going to be Krebs and Guryanov JVR Olufsen our Engvall and then right wing is going to be Kane Kubolik Tuck Halton in so need a rider's got to go we don't really need any forwards defensively if we wanted to bring in a big guy we got power Dalin Hall Braun Robertson Clegg and then goal-taining dude I don't really know what we need we can like offensively we don't really need anyone right now I think we have more than enough forwards defensively is there anyone left like that that's good defensively and I'm not really seeing anyone that's good schmick play both sides which I kind of like fits the second pairing I just don't see a need for a defenseman there's no one really big there that I think can upgrade the team and looking at free agency like who's left in free agency I don't see us making a big move for anyone so I think we're gonna keep the 9.8 mil on cap space and kind of say you know trade deadline if we need to make a big move we have the cap space available for it right I don't really see anyone that I'm really liking here that I want to bring on to the team which is kind of crazy to say but I don't see much and I don't know I really don't know here man we got a lead exact Nick Bukes dad but like I said I forward wise like we're pretty I think we have too many forwards to say the least as well right now man so to bring in someone I mean I'd be willing to bring in a Blake Wheeler but at that point if we're bringing in a Blake Wheeler we're sitting out halting in and I don't want to do that right so again just quickly looking center-wise it's going to be Thompson cousins middle stats avoid he left wing is gonna be Krebs Gerriana of JVR angle right right wing Olufsen Kane Kuba leak like we got too many players we're gonna be sitting people there's no point and then defensively power Dahlene so it'd be power Hall or be Dahlene Hall power brawn Robertson Yoki Haru like I like that dude I don't think there's anyone that we really need to go out and get so I think that is going to be it for this free agency we're going to sim to the season see what the lines look like and then next video will be the start of the NA the start of the 2025 2026 NHL season alright so let's sim to next season let's decline and at a block we're not looking to make any moves don't know why why those guys are there but we're not looking to make any moves and we're gonna quickly sim right quickly sim and kind of see what everyone's overalls are out with the lines are kind of going to be looking like and get ready for next season boys I think that's a good idea so simulating no trades to be offered things that you like to see and yeah I'm excited to see what this team looks like I'm excited to see what this team does and speaking of it let's see what the lines would be looking like all right so Kubelik I want him on the right wing Kane will go there let's talk Olufsen okay who is sitting I want Griana up there tuck up there cousins here who's sitting okay alright who's scratched first off alright angle is scratched let me oh man okay Kane on that first line Kubelik on the second just want to see if I can get a plus whatever on this on this line here maybe keep Kubelik on the first keep Kane on the second so do Thompson Kubelik Guriadov Olufsen Krebs no we want to Krebs on the wing we want Olufsen on the right side we want a middle we wanted that like that that like that we wanted that like that cousins up here so cousins Krebs Kane Olufsen middle stat talk JVR Savoy he need a rider do I like the way that looks I do want to bring Halton and up as well but he'd be playing fourth line like is that good for his growth unless we do that let me look defensively here not how I want this at all okay so Jesus man Yoki Haru Kleg throw Yoki Haru here who's in the minors right now brawn why is brawn in the minors okay so let me do this real quick we need to go to roster moves we need to we have one slot to call up someone so that's gonna be Justin brawn and then I want Halton in to come up and realistically who are we sending down Savoy he's the only one on a two way we could send down Piz check he's not playing so send down him and then we will call back or we will call up oops we will call up Halton in and now let's go edit AHL lines because Halton in is no longer there everyone's gonna get moved up one essentially and Alexandria I was gonna get in okay and then looking here oh my god defensively yeah I forgot that we took out brawn defensively Piz checks gonna come in he'll be playing first line minus one it is what it is for now power play yeah we just gotta do that extra lines just gotta do this extra attacker literally put in anyone I don't really care and looks good to me alright so now to the NHL even strength I want to put in Halton in I think I want to put them into this third line get that plus one there and see how that kind of does right I think that's gonna look good keep Griana of up there like they get a plus three of Kane plays on that first line Kane Thompson Griana of Krebs like that lines too long too young 1924 24 I like that canes 36 I'm gonna help cousins and Thompson's 27 Greana's 28 to help out the 19-year-old Halton is playing with the 26-year-old and a 29-year-old like I like that I like Halton and on that third line there eventually if we can we'll bring them up but I think that's what the forward core is going to look like to start the season if you guys have anything else that you could think of that might better the team let me know for the forward core defensively Clegg is going to be coming out and Justin Braun's going to be coming in and I think it's gonna work out like this like I kind of like that are we playing Matthew Robertson over Clegg I think so all right so we got Dallin Hall power Yoki Haru Robertson Braun I think that looks pretty good all right you know maybe you'll throw Yoki Haru up there and then put Hall and power together like that and then goal-tending obviously UPL and James Reimer so that is what the team is looking like going into the 2025-2026 NHL season like I said offensively if you guys think of any other line combinations that might work better let me know in the comment section down below but I think this is what the team is going to be looking like going forward who are our captains again we don't have a captain right it's Thompson Tuck and Dallin is a captain okay I do like that Dallin's a captain Tuck gets the A and Thompson gets the A okay that looks good to me and we're done all right so with that being said that is it for this episode if you guys did enjoy be sure to drop a like on it if you guys are new around here make sure to subscribe button down below we're on the road to 5000 subs next video guys we start the 2025-2026 regular season with the new looked Buffalo Sabres


Hey guys, it's Jen from I Create Crafts. In today's video, I'm going to show you how to make these Hunter car decals.  As you can see, I have a huge pile right here of ones that I finished that I'm going to be taking to the stores that I'm selling in. They are my number one sellers. I sell out of these so quickly and I'm going to teach you guys from start to finish how to create them like these. I have these Hunter decals, which are going to be going into the store, but I'm going to show you from start to finish how to create, how to package and then give you ideas of how to sell these. But I'm going to show you everything from the packaging to the car decal instructions on where to get them and how to create this. You don't want to miss it out. If you have a cricket machine and you have time and you love crafting, make your hobby into a crafting business. That's what I did. I started small and I expanded and I'm doing really, really well. And I want to help you guys too. So stay tuned and learn how to create these and make some money crafting in design space. And I'm going to show you just the two that I'm going to be creating today. So I'm going to go into my upload folder and I'm going to be using this one and this one. So I'm going to select both of these and add to canvas. And there's really not much that I'm going to do with this. So this is going to be really quick tutorial. I'm just going to take the double arrows down here and shrink it just a little bit so we can see it better and move these guys over. So I figured these would be really good for hunting, obviously, for men with that are like hunting, they can put it on their cars. So I'm going to make this just a little bit bigger. I'm thinking my normal details, I do around five by five, but I think I'm going to do maybe a six this time. So I'm going to select this first one, go up here to the width and then just type in six. And instead of unlocking it and changing it to be six by six, I'm going to let cricket tell me what size it should be at. So I'm going to push the tab button and I went to four point four, three, seven. So if I did six by six, it's going to skew it a little bit and not make it look so good. And I'll show you what I mean.  And that just does not look right. That's why I say I keep it locked and let cricket tell me what size.  So this one's going to be the same. I'm not going to unlock it. I'm going to change the width here to six. So that was a lot bigger. I might actually drag this out a little bit. Like I said, my decals are my number one seller at my stores that I sell at. So I do a lot of car decal videos. So if you're new to my channel, please hit that subscribe button. And then you can also go back and check out my other videos that I've done on car decals. One of them has over 50,000 views already, which is just mind boggling to me. So I appreciate everybody for commenting and liking and sharing that video. I'm going to do a lot more like this. Like I said, my decals are my number one seller. So I'm going to continue to keep making new ones and I'm going to continue to keep making the video so you guys can see how I make it. So I'm going to make this one actually a little bit smaller. Maybe a six point five will change it up here. Kind of see how that looks, but that was just a little small. And then this one is almost six by six. So for this, the only thing that I have to do with this particular one is attach it because you can see on the side here, all these pieces are detached.  So you're not going to have it look like the way it looks. I don't want to have to do any extra work on this. So I'm going to go ahead and push the weld button. And the reason I'm doing the weld instead of the attach is because these little tiny pieces there, whoops, it went away. These little tiny pieces that are here, if they are not connected, Cricut is going to cut that and you're going to see that when you're weeding it. You're going to have a really hard time weeding that out because there's going to be little slits in it. So this one is already done and this one was already finished for me. So I don't have to do anything else with this. You can change the color of these two if you want. You just go to the color box and you can change it to whatever color that you want. I'm just actually going to stick with black. And I might do this one, maybe even a brown color. Let's see how that looks. Yeah. So there's nothing else I have to do here. I'm just going to click make it and I'm going to show you the two mats that are going to be on the side here and it's going to show you what it's going to look like. So it's going to give you a little preview. So that's what it's going to look like. You can kind of get a quick view on how big these are going to be. So obviously yours doesn't have to be a six by six or whatever mine is. You can do whatever size you like. So I'm going to go ahead and push continue. And then I'll show you which setting I like to use.  I've used several different kinds of kinds of vinyl. And my main one is the Oracle 651. I like using permanent vinyl. It helps from the sun rays and it also doesn't peel up. So I always use 651, but I also use wall cuts adhesive vinyl from heat transfer warehouse. That's a new vinyl that they just came out with. It's a little bit thinner than regular 651, the Oracle. I like that a little bit better. So I normally either use this stencil vinyl here or the premium vinyl. Or even if it's a little tiny, intricate cuts, I use the washi sheet. So for this one, I'm just going to be using the premium vinyl. And I'm going to put the black on one of my mats that I'm going to do another one with this brown, but this is going to be really easy weed. There are a few parts in here that are going to be a little bit difficult to weed out. But yeah, I'm going to go ahead and cut this out. I'm going to weed it out. I'm going to show you what it looks like and how to package it and get ready to sell. All right, guys, so I weeded this out here is my brown one. It was very, very simple to weed this out. It's a very nice detail on this.  And then I'll show you later on how I'm going to make this look a little bit nicer. Oops, I got a piece stuck right here. Here we go. So I'm just going to take my scissors, cut the edge again. Just so I'm not wasting so much transfer tape.  So what I'm going to do next is actually I'm going to show you a trick that I like to use. I do card decals all the time and they are my number one seller. So I'm going to show you this little trick. You can do it. You don't have to do it. So here is my transfer tape is a really huge role of transfer tape. I will leave all of my supplies in the description below, but I'm going to show you really quick what I do. So I'm taking my transfer tape and I lay it out. I have it upside down. This is the sticky side. So you can do this or you don't have to do this, but this really helps me out that I'm not getting like little slits in it, little lines, or it's just going to lay nice and flat. So I'm going to take my decal and I'm going to lay it upside down. Just like this. And then I'm going to take my next one and do the same thing. And just give myself a little bit of room in between each one that I can take my scissors and cut it. Now I'm just going to take this end part and cut this off. And now I can go in and cut this.  So that's why I said just rough cut it in the beginning. So here it is just like this. The next part I'm going to do is actually take my paper cutter. If you don't have one of these, I highly, highly recommend it. It's really easy to cut. It's just a Fiskars paper cutter. It works really well for cutting paper, obviously. But I also use it to cut my decals to make them nice and straight. So I'm just going to take my decal. Actually, what I like to do is flip it upside down, but you guys won't see it. So I like to work with the sticky side up so that it's not sticking onto my cutter. But just for video purposes, I will show you. This guy be a little bit careful because it's I don't want to stick. So there's lines on here like a ruler so you can see where your lines are going to be. And you just want to take this and slide it. And then it's just going to give you a really nice straight cut just like that. And I'm trying to get really close to edge here that it's going to fit in my bag. So I'm going to do that in each side. Just line it up with the lines at the bottom. Making sure that you're not going over your decal. There is a little line in here that I can see where I'm going to be cutting. So I know I'm not going to go over my decal. So I'm going to grab. This is why I said it's easier doing it upside down. Grab the extra there and then just keep going. It just gives it a little bit nicer look to it and nice presentation when you're going to sell these. And it also fits in your bag a lot easier and I'll show you the bag in a second. So I got to do one more side. So just like that. So the next thing I'm going to want to do is take my squeegee and then rub my transfer tape on here really hard on each side, twisting it so I get all the bubbles and all the extra lines out and everything. Then I like to do a test. I like to pull this back and make sure that my decal goes on my transfer tape just like that. Then you want to take it and scrape it again. And then I have bags that I bought from Amazon which really come in handy. They're really nice bags. I think I might have to order the bigger size. So I'll show you what it comes like. So I get 200 of these bags. This one is a five by seven and I think this one is like an eight by five or something. I'm not really sure. So hopefully, nope. Unfortunately, this one won't fit in this. I can show you the next one. So those are the bags that I use. So I'm going to skip ahead and finish this one really quick. So this one should fit in there just perfectly but I'm going to do the same thing that I just did but not bore you and show you. So I'm going to hurry up and speed this up and then I'll show you what it looks like when it's done and how to package it. All right, sorry about that guys. So I have this one all done. I'm going to need to buy bigger bags. I didn't realize. I'm starting to go a little bit bigger with my decals. Normally I do like a five by five but I'm going a little bit larger with these. So I'm going to show you really quick how to package these. So these are the bags. I absolutely love these. They're nice and heavy duty. You just take it, I flip my decal upside down so that when they look at it, they will see it from the front. So here's the front, here's the back because you have this little plastic thing that you fold over. Then I like to put in instructions. So I found this instructions off of Google. I printed a whole bunch off and then I used my paper cutter again to slice them up into nice straight pieces. Then I just take that and I put it in the back. You can put in your business cards. You can put in whatever you want in here. This is how I package mine. Then you just take the little strip off the top and then you carefully lay it down. So it's just like that. Whoops, upside down, just like that. So I have this one but unfortunately, like I said, I have to buy a bigger bag, which is really cool because I'm starting to go a little bit bigger and making more manly ones, I guess. So I've been making a lot of different ones, more mom ones, so I thought I would make a couple of these. So I hope this video tutorial helps you out. If you're interested in any more, I did a whole bunch of video tutorials on card decals. But think, these don't have to be just card decals. You can put them on anything. You can stick them on your windows and your house. You can put them on your PC, on your laptop, on your phone, you know, whatever. This doesn't have to be just card decals but that is my number one seller and I love to show you guys how to make money. So if you're interested in learning how to start a business or learning how I started or how I got into the stores, I do have an ebook for sale. You can find it under icreatecrafts.com and you can find it there.

Supporters gathered at the Fairmont-Copley Plaza Hotel Tuesday to celebrate Ed Markey's election to a second term in the United States Congress. Thank you all, thank you all so, so much for everything that you have done for me. Because of you, I have been elected to a full six-year term in the United States Senate. Since my first year was really characterized by a deliberate commitment to gridlock and to stopping the government's ability to work. So I'm hoping I'm going to be able to break that gridlock. As Senator Markey heads into his first full term as United States Senator, he made the promise to Massachusetts voters to do his best to make them proud. For BUTV10, I'm Hailey Crumbleholm.


In today's video, we're pinning the new Valiant Smasher set in pre-release against the most insane Yu-Gi-Oh! set of the year. Or of all time. What's up guys, we are back. We have a very special versus battle. We do these a lot of time where we take the most recent set and put it against the previous set. And a lot of times it's not that interesting, but today I'm actually really interested to see what will happen in this battle. Because Valiant Smasher is in pre-release. So the prices, as you know, it's before Friday. Not everyone. Most people are pre-release locked. They can't actually list until Friday when you can put your cards to the app for sale. Unless you're actually like an official Konami store or something like that. So their prices are going to be way higher on most cards. So that usually gives a massive advantage toward this set compared to the most recent set. But it is facing up against one of the craziest sets ever. And probably the best set of the year, Rarity Collection 25th Anniversary. So I'm really interested to see what will win this battle. We're going to have totals on the screen. We're going to see if potentially a set that is not in pre-release can beat a set in pre-release, which would be pretty insane. But before we get into it, we do have a giveaway. I'll be giving away every card we pull in this video. QCRs, Ultimate Rares, you know, whatever it's going to be, Collector Rares. Just like the video, be subscribed to our notifications. Let me know down below what you think will win. Will it be pre-release Valiant Smasher or will it be Rarity Collection? I think this is actually going to be a close battle. Okay, let's get these open for this battle. 48 packs will be open today. I'm super pumped. This should be fun actually, but not only... Mostly because I get to open Rarity Collection again. Let's be honest. Okay, let's get this thing open. Another box that does not open. By the way, my Rarity Collection, I think has expired in terms of my discount code. We do still have Valiant Smasher's though, if you want to grab that. And don't forget, tomorrow, you've seen this on Thursday. Tomorrow at 5 p.m. Central. It's going to be amazing. We are opening some insane boxes on whatnot. Legend of the Lost First Edition all the way through Ancient Sanctuary First Edition. The first box in Yu-Gi-Oh all the way through the 11 set in Yu-Gi-Oh. All of them will be open and they are available to buy right now. Six of the sets are available and buy it now. And you can pre-bid on the other five. Go check out my whatnot link. You get $15 credit if you use that link and you've never been on whatnot before. Also, don't forget to check out those packs. If you do want to grab some early, you can do it now. You can also bid on them live tomorrow night.  I can't wait for it. I'm super excited. So I want to see you guys there. I want to make sure you guys hear about it. If you haven't already, make sure to check that out. It's going to be absolutely awesome. Okay, let's go. Let's do this. Let's start off with Valiant Smashers. We have a 24v24 opening right here. But this is probably going to get three Ultras. Maybe a collector or maybe QCR. Here you get a lot, a lot more. But the question is the prices. How will the prices change or vary? Not vary. I guess vary, but the prices compare. How about that? Compare. That's what we're doing here. Compare and contrast. All right. Let's see. Rarity collection. I mean, obviously, I think I know which set we like better for the most part. But if you disagree and you like a different set, let me know. We have a Magician's Salvation. Okay, that's not a crazy card. Pot of Prosperity. That's a good card. We'll take that. Magnite Crusadia Avamax and a DecoTalker Heat Soul. So Pot of Prosperity, I think, has officially put Rarity Collection in the lead. So already off to a good start. The thing with Valiant Smashers is that when they get their Ultras, they may be crazy. And if they do pull a collector, that's going to be pretty big value or at least a pre-release value. We'll see how it turns out on Friday, aka tomorrow. But yeah, Ash Blossom. Already a good card. Very nice. We have a Artifact Glancy Ghost Blossom. No high rarities yet. But both the Pot of Prosperity and Ash Blossom in the bulkier stuff, which is pretty amazing. Cinter Iron Failings. Okay, more stuff. A lot of good cards so far out of Rarity Collection. Not so much Valiant Smashers yet. We have fallen about bad. Oh, and a Ghost Bell and Haunted Mansion. Okay. Okay, Nibiru already pulled insane. We are pulling crazy right now. Valiant Smashers is going to need something to win this. I have a bad feeling for them. Okay, we got a Salta, Valmonica Skelta, okay, Ultra Rare. That's, who knows? I don't know if that's going to be worth, like it could be like 30 bucks for all I know in pre-release. So that's going to be the big one for them. Let's see if that took them ahead of Rarity Collection. I just went two in a row here, so we're going to go two straight Rarity Collection as well. Okay, Rarity Collection. We have a Compulse. We have a Pot of Desires. This is not a bad card either, Rota Ash Blossom. Okay, that's a pretty good pack. I mean, for not really having anything, it had a lot. So, you know, pretty good. We got to go two in a row here. I think Rarity Collection. It feels like they're ahead, but you never know with pre-release prices if they actually are. We have no Ulti's or Collector Rares yet. Very interesting. Let's see what else we can do. Draco, we have Valmonica Chosen Melody Terraforming. We're right. There are some good cards in here like Terraforming. That's a pretty solid, generic card for field spells. Okay, okay. It just feels so lopsided, but I'm wondering if the score is actually lopsided. Trabregate Revolt. There we go. Triple Tack and Wing Dragon of Raw. Isn't this... The Wing Dragon of Raw Collector Rares took us boxes and boxes to pull it. Like, literally. How many boxes were that? It was the last Collector Rares we got, and we pulled it already. Pretty insane. But the good side is, that was a really good pack. Rarity Collection with Triple Tactics Ultimate Rares. A really good one. We have a super there. I mean, just... This just does not feel fair at all. If this wasn't pre-release, oh my goodness, this would be a beatdown. Okay, let's just keep going. Rarity, just keep dominating. Okay, the Platinum Rare. Cool. I was like, something's wrong with the name. Oh, wait, that's Platinum Rare.  Nothing to do with you, Sean. I'm not insulting you at all. We have Centra Iron. All right, all right. Let's just keep... Wait, let's do it in a row. Oh, well, we'll figure it out. We'll get it together. We have Angelo, Valmonica. More Ghost Bell and Spooky Dog. Let's go Sister, sorry. Sister Ghost, not the Ghost Bell. So we are... Man, you guys know the score, but I mean, just on pure feel, if prices didn't exist, I mean, well, I mean, then maybe they would feel different than I guess, but if prices didn't exist, I feel like we would be like Rarity Collection is dominating this opening.  Pot of Prosperity and a Magical Barrier. Oh my goodness, and then a Pot of Desires for good measure. Wow, this is going to be a nice giveaway. Okay, guys, this is a box right here. We have a super and not so much a box for Valiant Smashers at the moment. This versus, I mean, Rarity Collection's got some of the best cards already for them, for been dropping it. I mean, why not? Might as well. Might as well. We have Advanced Draw. We have a Valmonica. This is, it feels like a beatdown. I don't know for sure. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait. Go back to Rarity Collection. Don't double in a row. Rarity Collection just doing its thing. We have, oh my gosh. Oh, this box is insane. Oh my goodness. I'm your unicorn for bid and droplet quarter century. Wow, this is, this cannot be close. There is no way. This is such a good box. Okay. Oh, wow. This is Valiant Smashers. This getting absolutely valiantly smashed. I should say. Woo. Loan fire, ash, secret rare. Even the bad packs are amazing. So, heesh, not good. Not good. If you're a Valiant Smashers stan, your team is getting waxed right now. Might even right now. I feel like I'm behind one on the Valiant Smashers somehow. I'm going to do that. Can't really tell, but I'm just guessing. We have a Memento Mace. One Ultra so far. So you can really see the difference. Like it feels better like with Rarity Collection. I know a lot of people, not a lot. I did see a few comments. They're like, yeah, but it's like not exciting when you pull something because there's so many of them, which I see their point, but it's still exciting in my opinion. I just, it's fun.  Because like, while the Rarities are common, like getting some of the Rarities are common, getting like a good, like a good one in a high Rarity is not necessarily common. So there is still some, some hunt to it. It's not like you're getting a good card every, well, you are getting a good card every time mostly, but you're not getting a high Rarity good card every time. Yeah. A Rarity Collection is growing and growing on me every time.  I think it's going to age really well. Okay. We got something.  Let's not ruin it. Okay. It is a spell card. Let's see what it is. No collector rare, no QCR emblem, emblem of oath. Okay. Emblem of oath. All right. Sure. That's, that's a card. Okay. I don't know if it's good. I really don't know. I don't know. I just, I'm looking for high Rarities in the Valiant Smashers and it's very unlikely. Triple Tack, another one, Cyber Angel Menten, Borreload. Okay. Nothing too crazy there. This is, this is insane. Absolutely insane. Advanced Draw, looking more Supers. Rarity Collection is just, it's, it's a set guys. It is a set of all time. No, Valiant Smashers is a set of all time. Let's be honest. Wing Dragon or Platinum? Better on the floor. Is that our first Baron like in general? I think it is. That's interesting. Not a lot of Baron today. What, what a battle. Stand up, Centra Iron. We still have potentially one more. We should have one more Ultra. Potentially collector QCR. Haven't pulled any out of that case yet that I've been opening. Vision Hero, Ferris, Secrets. So at some point, I mean at this, you got to be pulling one soon, right? I don't know. I don't even know the ratio of QCRs in the set to be honest. So, oh, we got something. We got Centra Iron Primera. Okay. I'm pretty cool looking card. Another Ultra. So we have three Ultras out of there now. So now we're just hoping for high rarity, which is what they need probably to win this. I don't think three Ultras is going to be good enough. Alpha, evenly collector rare. Why, why not just get every good card? Why not? Every good card. Why not? It's some high rarity. I said you're not going to get them every time, but we are right now. We're getting everything. Centra Iron. Man, this isn't, this rarity box is, I didn't open a lot of boxes because we opened so many packs ahead of time and then opened them. But this Baron, it just keeps getting better. This feels like one of the best possible boxes you can get. I mean, we didn't get ash, but we did get droplet QCR. So it's really hard to beat. I'm almost speechless with how good this rarity collect. It really was showing out. It's like you're about to have to show up valiant smashers and rarity collector was like, yeah, let's do it. Let's show him who's boss. Oh my goodness. Rarity. Uh-oh. Okay. We finally got a card. That's not great. I'm sorry, distant coder. But yeah, not, not a generically nice card, you know, just for co-talkers, but I say that I'm assuming it's not generic. Sometimes there are cards with, you know, archetype names that are generic, but I'm pretty sure that's not one of them. I could read it, but you know, come on, reading. This is not going to happen. But if that was like a ash, this would be the best box of all time. Lightning storm. That's good. Cyberangel Benson. Okay. That's, that's all right.  We have a memento. We have Draco. Volmonica followed rhythm. Pretty cool as well. Summoner monk terraforming. Okay. We're down to, what do we down to? Oh, wow. I have two more rarity collection. Wow. Rarity collection is two packs behind. So there's still a lot more to go on there. Tour guide, loan fire, nightmare unicorn. That's a pretty nice collector rare and co-talker inverted again. More nice cards. Why not? Why not? Let's just open another rarity collection is absolutely amazing. It is going to be considered one of the better sets of all time. Pot of X-Draft, it's public judgment, loan fire. More good stuff. Why not? Why not? Four packs left in this video. Now I am smashers. I'm going to open this one and save the, we're going to go two rarity collections, save the last one for potential comeback because you're going to need it. Synchro transmission, gravity collapse, Volmonica. Okay. It's all coming down to the last pack because there is no way the pre-release is that high. This has to be winning because I didn't see when I looked at the price guide, anything like crazy high was like 40 bucks for the ultra. So even if you got three of those, that's like your only chance. You'd have to get three of the best ones, which we got three different ones. So it can't be dark long. We got another platinum, Magnite, Crescia, Avermax, El Lich, Nightmare Unicorn, a standard art. So to the standard arts in there. Okay. One pack left of each guys. If you guys have enjoyed this video, don't forget to subscribe to the channel for more content like this. Tomorrow we will be opening a case of valiant smashers. Hopefully actually getting a QCR or collector rare. We technically have a chance left, but only one pack. Archsaur, Chrissia potential. Hopefully that'll happen.

I can't wait. It's going to be fun. Last rarity collection pack. Summon limit. Elder Incidentus. Compulse. Okay. We ended with a dud. That gives you a chance. You can get QCR. I think QCR Christie is like 300 pre-release. So that could win it for you. Let's do two from the back. All right. Last pack magic. Here we go. Staying glass.

The Imo Police Command has arrested one top ESN commander, Onye Ami, who is allegedly behind the high-profile attack in the state, including the killing of Ahmad Gulak, Prince Iheme, the brother of Akhto Ossita, Iheme, several security personnel, and burning and killing Vainik staff. The suspect, who deserted the Nigerian army, was arrested in Ungoro village in Abombi, a local government area of Imo state, while attending his late father's burial. Parade in the suspect that the Imo state police command headquarters, the police public relations officer, S.P. Michael Abatam, said the suspect was arrested as part of efforts of the command to curb crime and criminality that's yo-tied. The 25th is one time while the power was going on, was told that the government police approaches. Two hours and smart as you and me, the suspect already placed some members of his gang, the police officer, and we are in surveillance, immediately the sighted the police, the H.K. On the process, our first attack was in Nasr, in Nasr, at the first, when we attacked them, we killed two soldiers, the second one was, we took away the rifle, the second one was in Abok police station, we attacked them and we carried the rifle, and the IHEM police station, right there, the IHEMs were, they are in a lot, and that day they ran away.


Guitar and Excel, Interval and Modes, Compliment and Parallel, Worksheet Part Number 5. You know, Phil keeps on telling me I don't have the right to teach music because of a lack of a music theory, PhD or whatever.  It's like whatever, Phil. As for me, it's true.   So no, I don't know it very well.  The toilets today aren't worthy of the name. They come in designer colors, and they're too low. When you flush them, they make this little weak, almost apologetic sound. Not the first. And when you flush it, ba-woosh.  I mean, it's kind of strange.  Anyways, whatever.   By the way, I have learned a lot from highly musically educated people providing free content, which I'm very grateful for. I'm happy to listen to anybody as long as they're providing useful information. I'm just kidding here. So in any case, let's get to it. Here we are in Excel. If you don't have access to this workbook, that's okay because we basically built this from a blank worksheet, but started in prior presentation. So if you want to build this from a blank worksheet, you may want to begin back there. However, if you do have access to this workbook, currently seven tabs down below, the first two tabs representing the end product, the final worksheet that we will be putting together, the numbered tabs tying into the numbers of the video presentations where we work that part of the practice problem, that part of the worksheet. The blue tab on the right is going to start where we ended off last time. And let's give a recap of what we have done thus far. We started by creating the musical alphabet. So we have the musical alphabet here. And then we numbered the notes in the musical alphabet from one to 12. And then we went around the hoard with another one down here. We combined the numbers and letters together because I'm going to argue here that that's useful to learn. And then we created a key which will allow us to sort our musical alphabet by whatever's going to be that starting point, in this case a four, which is a C. So now we're pulling in our musical alphabet but starting on a C. Then we looked at our intervals, the easy way, just noting that there's 12 intervals, including the point that you are on, and just numbered them, measuring them from this point that we're changing on the green cell. And then we discussed what the interval names are. Here's the full names of the intervals. And then here's the symbols. And then this is the distance from the point we're starting at, which in this case is the key of C. And then the interval name, a perfect first, a minor second, a major second, and so on with the two representing how far it is away in notes or half steps from this green cell, our starting measuring point. So then we created our worksheet over here that's going to give us these seven notes in whatever scale that we're focused in on, in this case in the key of C, the scale being determined by that green cell once again. And so now these are going to be the seven notes out of the 12 notes. We got here by applying the musical formula, starting with a C or a four, and going up two steps to get to the D, up two steps to an eight or an E, up one step to get to a nine or an F, up two steps to get to an 11 or a G, up two steps, 12, back to one, which is an A, two steps to a three, which is a B, one step to back to the four, which is a C. And then we just repeated that a couple times down here. So then we populated our worksheet with these. We numbered the relative positions. These are relative positions to the scale now. And then we gave them Roman numerals as well, which gives us an added level of information provided by the ability to have uppercase and lowercase, uppercase meaning that we're going to have a major chord construction versus a minor chord construction. And then we basically constructed the chords from each of these notes in the scale. And we do that by selecting every other note in the musical alphabet, which we discussed a little bit when we built this, but I'll try to make that more clear now with the next part of the project, which will be creating a circular representation of that on the right hand side. And then down below, what we have here are the interval representations, perfect first or one note away from the starting point in this case of a C. And then this works out quite well when we're mapping out the C chord. But when we get to mapping out the D, it gets a little bit confusing because all of these intervals are in relation to the key of C. So you can see it that way, but oftentimes when we move to the D here, even though we constructed it from the C major, we're actually going to talk about the intervals as though it's coming from the D as the relative starting point. So we moved the measuring tool. So hopefully that will become more clear now as we do the next part of the project. I'm going to put this into a circular format on the right, and then we'll get a better idea of how we got to these, and then we'll do the same thing with the intervals over here. So this is a little bit wonky to do in Excel because it's not as easy to make circles in Excel. So let me see if we can pick this up. So we're going to say one, two, three, four, five. I'm going to do it over here. So I'm going to say that the top of the circle is going to be this C. So that's going to be the top of the circle. And then I'm just going to go around the circle. So I'm going to go try to make a circle here. One, two over one, two down, let's do. And this is going to be the D. And then I'm going to go another one down. So I'm in cell B, F, six. And this is going to be equal to the E. And then I'm going to go down two cells and over one cell to get to the F. And then I'm going to go over two cells to get to the G. And then I'm going to go from the G over one cell up two cells to get to the A. And then I'm going to go up from the A to cells to get to the B. So we have somewhat of a circle in Excel. Let's make the cells a little bit smaller. So I'm going to highlight from B, A over here. And then I'm going to go to the B, F. I'll make this a little bit thinner. So let's see right about there. Probably be good. Let's make a skinny cell over here from the AZ. So we'll just have a little bit of space. OK, so then I'm going to label this with the Roman numerals now, which will give me both the relative position relative to the C scale. And it'll give us the construction of the quality of the note that we'll build from it, which in this case is a major given by the fact that it's an uppercase Roman numeral. So I'm just copying the same information over here. So here's the Roman numeral two. Here's the Roman numeral three. And then here's the Roman numeral four. It's a little bit tricky to learn these Roman numerals if you're not used to using them. I mean, most people have seen them, but you probably haven't spent a lot of time if you haven't worked with music or other things that use Roman numerals to look at them a lot. So, but once you get that, then it'll give you more information with the number. So we don't have to repeat the number. If you can see the Roman numeral as a number and have that added dimension of uppercase and lowercase. So there we have that. Let's, let's do some, let's center this. I'll select all of this and then go home tab. Alignment and center. I made this cell wide again. So I'm going to select all of these. So I make them the same width and then just change that width a little bit. All right. So then these ones, let's make these ones black and white. So I'll put my cursor in there. I'm holding down control, by the way, and selecting all of these cells at the same time, non-adjacent cells that are not next to each other. In other words, home tab font group will make this black and then the lettering, let's make that white. And then around this side, let's just put some borders around these. I'm holding down control and just selecting these and font group and let's put some borders around those. So now we have a circular format. So the idea then being when we construct, when we construct a chord, all we do is we take all of our notes and we select every other note that is in the scale, remembering that the scale only has seven out of 12 total notes. So if I go from the C and I skip the D, I get to an E. And if I go from the E and I skip the F to the G, that's the four, I mean the C, E and G, which we would call the one, three, five. Now I could keep on going to get to the seven from the G to the B, there's the seven, and then I could keep going. What happens if I keep going? Because there's only seven notes, right? That seven is equivalent to that B. It's the last note in our scale. So how could I keep going? Well, if I went around in a circle, you can see you can easily just keep going and you'll pick up the one that just skipped last time, which in this case would be the D, which we would call the two, because it's the two note of the scale. But when we look at the construction of the chords, oftentimes we want to put the most important ones up front. So if I'm trying to say the most important ones are the triad, the one, three and the five, then I don't want to go back and put the two between the one and the three. That's my justification as to why I think this is happening because it's a little confusing. But so then you keep counting up to go to the nine. So even though there's only seven notes in the scale, we have a nine, which is equivalent to the two, right? So now when we think about these intervals down here, note that you have to keep in mind that when you see like a nine, it's going to be equivalent to the two. So then I'm going to skip another one and that goes to the 11, right? So that's going to be an F and the 11 then would be equivalent to the one we skipped in here between the three and the five or the four. We skipped the four. And then we're going to go to the next one over and we went to the A and the A would be the 13 and the 13 would be equivalent to the six, right? So just so those equivalents, you just want to keep in mind on how that works is the general idea. Okay, that being said, we can also do a circle of thirds. Now note that I could do that from any point here. I could do that from the D. So here's the D. I skip every note. Boom, boom. And so now we've got the D. We've got the F and the A. I could keep on going. I could go to the C, right? There's the C. I can go to the E and so on. And I'm constructing all the notes within here. Now what do we mean when we say it's major or minor? These indications are telling us that at least the triads, when we do this construction, what happens is the intervals on the first three notes, the triads, will have a common characteristic which will be differentiated only by the third. The third will be major or minor. So we're defining if it's major or minor on the first three notes that we do this process of selecting every other note to look at the interval mainly on the third to see if it's a four note distance major or a three note distance of minor. So you can see here eight minus four is a fourth note distance. Nine minus six is a three note distance. So that's interesting. Now if I keep going out, it gets a little bit less clear when I'm looking at something outside of the one, three, five. If I go to the seven, the nine, the 11, and the 13, then it will depend, it'll depend more on whether it's the two note or whatever and so on. So in other words, when I look at this D, also realize that when I build it from this scale, I'm building it starting on the two. So you would think if I was to name it, it would start on the two and then the four and then the six, right? But that's not what we do. We call it the one, three, five of the two chord of the C major scale, the one, three, five not tying into the C, but it's tying into another relative position. It's tying into the D and more, you could call it the D minor because it will create a minor chord if you just look at the first three notes. But if you extend this beyond what we built here from the C major, you're actually looking at the D Dorian. So it would be the related mode. So basically this is just what we've built right here is basically just the related Dorian mode. If I look at the six, what we've built right here is basically the Aeolian or minor mode. So that's kind of the idea. So if I copy the same thing, let's show that down here. If I copy this whole thing and I put that down here, now it's just going to paste all the relative positions, but now it's pulling in the same information from an interval standpoint. So now I can see, okay, how is this first major? If I'm looking at a major, then the one chord is constructed by a perfect first or a one, and then we skip the two, and then we go to the major third. Now the major third, although we only skipped one note, is actually four total notes away, right? It's four total notes away because these notes only represent seven out of 12 notes in the musical alphabet, right? So it's actually four notes, and then if I go from here to here, then we skipped another one. That's going to be the fifth. When we say it's the fifth, we call it a perfect fifth, but it's actually seven notes away from the starting point, which in this case is the C. Now note down here, what we do not have is a perfect first in our graph here, right? Notice that this whole thing is represented relative positions to the key of C. So you have to recognize that. Then if I want to measure this from the D, we can look at the relative mode that we will create later, which will give us the relative position starting at the D as the starting point. Okay, so we'll talk about that in a second. We can also do a circle of thirds, which sometimes is a little bit faster to use. So let's skip a cell and do that. We're going to say this is going to be the one, and we're going to say this is a C, and then I'm going to go down one and over one, and then I'm going to skip the D, and I'm just going to go to the E. So I'm skipping every other one, just like we do when we do our chord construction. Well, let's do that after, and I'm going to go to the G now. So I went from an E skipping the F to the G, and then I'm going to go one over here, and I went from the G. I went from the G skipping the F. I did the G. Now I'm skipping the A to the B. All right, and then I'm going to go from here, and I'm going to say I kind of squished this together. I should have left more room. Let me pull this over. I'm going to pull this over a little bit. Let's pull this over like two for now, and I'll make this a little smaller. Okay, so then we're going to go from the B. I was on the B, and now I'm going to skip the C and go to the D, and then I'm going to go up here, and I'm going to skip the D. So I've gone around one time. I'm going to go around again, skipping the E and going to the F right there, and then I'm going to go up here, and we're going to say we're going to skip from the G to the A. So I think that looks about right, except I need to pull this like, I'm going to pull this into the middle, and there we go. I think that's right. So we've got C, E, G, B, D, F, A. Okay, I think that's right. I don't want to tell you the wrong thing. So we're going to then, let's make this small again, and now let's put the labels on top of it. So the E is the three, and then the G is the five, and the B is the seven, the D is the two, the F is the six, the A, A. Wait, that was the four, so and then the six. Okay, let's add one more column here. I'm going to put my cursor up top, right click and insert a column, so it's not right next to it. I'm going to select these and make them a little smaller, and then let's center this. I'm going to go to the home tab, a home tab alignment and center, and then I'm going to go, I'm holding down control and selecting all of these cells. I'm going to make them home tab, font group, black, white, and then I'll select these cells up top, and we'll go once again, home tab, font group, black, oh no, let's not do it black-white, let's do just borders. Okay, so now you can see it a little bit faster, right, so the C, if I just take the C, the E and the G, there's the C, E, G. If I start on the E, E, G, B, if I start on the E, E, G, B, and we've created it right there, right, if I start on the G, it would be G, B, D, G, B, D, and if I start on the B, it would be B, D, F, B, D, F, and if I start on the D, I went back to the two, right, which I can call the two, or you can call it like the nine, right? So I got D, six, D, F, A, so there's a D, F, A. So sometimes that's a little bit easier to see, let's copy that and put it down here so I can see the same thing in intervals. So now we just skipped every other one from an interval perspective. So there we have that. Okay, so now let's try to outline our fretboard on the right side now. I'm just going to create another fretboard, but this time I want to populate it with intervals instead of the notes. So I'm going to start this by just doing, by just copying the outline, and I'll do that by saying this is going to be equal to that zero, and then I'm just going to copy this across. I'm just going to copy that across so we can do that, and then I'll copy the formatting. I'll select this whole thing and format paint it, and I'll just put that right there, format paint, boom. And then we have a lookup. So what I'd like to do is find each of these letters up top and I'll look them up over here in our list. I'll look each of those up. Where do I want to look it up? I want to look them up here, and then I want to return this value here. So if I'm looking up an E, I'm going to say find that one of the E, and then return me the interval, which is a four note away major third. Okay, how can we do that? That's the trustee vlookup. So we're going to say this is not vlookup, xlookup, that's old. That's old news.  Get to the new one, xlookup. That's what we do now. So it's the xlookup. So here it is. We're going to say, okay, so what are we looking up? We're looking up this E8 and then comma, and then we got the lookup array. So I'm going to find the lookup array and we're going to say that's going to be over here. Control shift down. So we want to find it there and then comma and then the return. What do we want to return? We want to return this one, which will give it to us in intervals. Boom. Okay, there it is. So that looks right because that E in relation, yeah, is a major third, because if we look at our worksheet over here, right, the E is the third, which I can see here, major third, okay. Perfecto, just like Mundo would do it, my friend Mundo, and he's a perfectionist. It's perfecto just like Mundo would do it. Okay, so then if I copy this to, now what I want to do though is make an absolute reference between the arrays. So I'm going to say F4, F4, F4, F4, and then not F4 on the first one, because I want this one to move both to the right and down. Okay, boom. And then we'll copy it down to, so one, two, three, four, five, six, and then we'll take this whole thing, copy it to the right, copy that Roger, Roger down, Roger out. Roger is out. And then I'll select this whole thing and make it a little wider, because see, this is why I didn't want that dash there, because see, this gets a little wide, because see, this one's kind of fat. If I remove the dash, it'd be thinner, but I think people, the dash is helpful for people to see, so I'm not going to do it. I'm going to keep the dash, I'm going to keep the dash. Okay, so then let's select this whole thing and just format paint it. I'm going to go home font group, format paint. Boom, format has been painted. So now we have this whole thing, mapped out in interval now. And this, this, so what we can do now is I can put this interval worksheet next to my information on the right, right? So I can say, what if I just want to look to like, the fret five, and I want to hide, let's hide to here first. I'm going to say hide this information, and then I can look in here and say, okay, what do I want to keep from here? Maybe I, maybe I hide, maybe I don't need this. I'm going to hide that, and then I'm going to hide from here to here and maybe all the way to here and hide. So now we have, now we have our worksheets right next to, right next to each other. And I can see the interval worksheet. Let's go like that big. I'm sorry, I'm zooming in and out like crazy. And then we can, and then we can use our format painter to basically, to select certain areas within here if we so choose. So we can do things like selecting this and going home tab, format painter. And let's say we want to make this equal to the C and I'll make that one green because that's my one. And then I'm going to say I want this equal to the the E and we'll make that one red. Let's just keep it red. And then I'm going to say this was going to be equal to the G and I'll make that one yellow. And so then we can see those mapped out. And then if I put our squares on this, I can make a square here and say I want to make the shape fill outline and red. And then maybe a little thicker. Should I make it a little thicker than that? Okay, so then we can kind of see, okay, there's the C and you know that we're constructing that we would put our fingers on just like we saw in our prior worksheet. And I can create my related interval information down below. I could I could use do it with colors like I did here or I can just do it this way and say, okay, if I make that shape down here, there's my intervals. There's the zero distance away, perfect first. There's the major third, another perfect first. And you can start to see the intervals a little bit more clearly here, even though up top I basically colored the intervals, which we looked at in terms of just the one three five. But this will give you the more formal names of the interval. Now again, it gets a little bit it's a little bit easier when you do the first one, because if I go to the second one, this is where the problem comes in. If I if I manage the rules, and I want to look at the D now. So now I'm going to go, okay, where are my rules? There's no rules happening here. It's anarchy. We're going to say, let's go into here and say, if I change the green to be to be this one. And then okay, and then the red, I'm going to change it to be this one. Okay, and then the yellow, I'm going to change it to be this one. Okay, and then okay. So now I've got like a D minor. So if I look at that shape, boom, boom, boom, boom. I'm going to delete this one. And then delete this down here. Just copy this shape, holding down control. Copy paste and just move it down. So now you can see the kind of issue here because you would think this D would be the one. But it's not when I measure it in relation to the C scale, which is what we constructed it from, because we constructed it from basically the two note of the C scale. So it resulted in the same, what we would call a D minor, because the one three fives have the same distances between each other. But those distances are relative to the new central point, which we're thinking of as D, not relative to the scale we created it from, which is C. So that's where like the issue comes in. So it's kind of interesting to look at it this way, because then you can see how what the distances are from what we created it from, the C, right? But what we will do is we'll create the modes now underneath of this, and the modes will give us the proper measures in relation to it as the starting point, its relative position being the starting point. So the D is basically the Dorian mode, right? The the the six is basically going to be the minor mode. So we'll create and so this is also you'll also kind of get an idea of the idea of the fact that we can kind of think of minor modes and major modes, right? Because the D, you know, these of the modes that's coming off the two, the three and the six are going to construct a minor one chord, right? We know that's the case. And we know that the modes that are going to be constructed from the one four five of the relative major, the relative modes that are constructed from that, one being the major, right? But the four and the five are going to have a major one chord, right? We know that is the case. So we'll start to build that in future presentations.


Can I get an ambulance to my location, thanks, and I've got a female, she's just come off her motorbike at high speed, she's got a deep laceration to her right leg, looks like it's down to the bone bleeding heavily. The Tactical First Aid Project is a course of training that allows police officers to apply medical interventions to most traumas that will actually come across, so mostly penetrating traumas, but also any other type of blunt force trauma as well. Recruits all the way up to commissioned officers are receiving the training, so approximately 11,000 police now within the service are trained in Tactical First Aid. We've just packed a deep laceration, is there any bone shine for at all? Yes, exceptions lost feeling below the wound. Alright, conscious, how are we doing? Hey mate, what's your name? We've used Tactical First Aid from doing simple welfare checks to vehicle and motor accidents. The first people that actually did the curriculum immediately used that for a tourniquet application inside a downed aircraft. The pilot was trapped by the dashboard, he had both thighs crushed under the collapsed dashboard, which caused severe hemorrhaging in both of his legs. So working with QAS, who tourniquet one leg, Queensland police officers also tourniquet the other thigh simultaneously. The project was really kicked off by myself looking at how I've been affected by dealing with trauma and persons dying whilst I've been on the job and from there I sort of looked at the fact of how much it affected myself personally and then how I can go about removing and mitigating some of those stresses as well. Dealing with thoracic trauma when we locate a sucking chest wound, we're going to apply a chest seal to that. We were nominated for the World Class Policing Awards for their inaugural event which was held in London this year. We were lucky enough to win the awards based on the elements of saving lives. To be nominated was an exceptional thing. To actually win it was just something that I really can't put words to. It's ready. It's ready. It's ready. It is ready. By us being able to now to get in there and actually help people out from innocent bystanders who have been hurt to mental health patients, even to persons involved in criminal activities. At the end of the day we're just trying to do our jobs and keep people alive.
