We are only halfway through in this very informative conversation. It's not often that you wake up to find somebody who has fought this killer disease. We all know the minute that say word is mentioned, sometimes it translates to done and that's not the case. Because Nana is here to walk us through her own journey and to tell us how to be able to prevent this, what to do if you have it and also create that awareness. Aka the advocacy because people need to know. So Nana, walk us through once again. It's like you're throwing the net into the society.  And like I said earlier, it took that big sacrifice. There's a reason why God had already drawn. She's going to be the best sales woman and she's going to have this thing going on and she's going to rise above it and she's going to teach so many people and also the work you're doing. 68 people in 4-5 months, that's not easy. Not especially if you just come out of it. So walk us through that. Let me talk first to the people who are in it now. People who have just been diagnosed or the ones who are fighting.   Win in your mind first. Take care of you. Self love. Accept people to help you and then you will be good. Listen to what the doctors have to say. Tafadali. Gata press. Lock your ears. Cancer is cancer. Cancer is lido moreen. Chemotherapy is lido. The therapy is lido. And lido for lido. Please don't be lying to that you can heal cancer with this and go to hospital. You have to do what the doctors are telling you. Those other people who are guiding you are not experts. They know nothing. So eat well. Take your medication. Buy some food supplement and they are guided by your oncologist. And then one year and they do mitishamba. It is the aloe vera. It is the rosemary leaves. It is all these things around us everywhere. Once in a while take those things and you will be healed. And believe that God is going to heal you. Those are the people who I need. The ones who have just been diagnosed accept. First it starts with you. Tafadali. Accept that you are sick. This is a very serious disease because it is system fighting system. You are going to pass through very tough patches. It is a very rough journey. It is tedious. It is a financial devourer because even the diet when it changes it is not cheap. You will never be the same again. So accept that. And when you accept all these things then it becomes very easy to heal. We have amazing oncologist in this country. Let me tell you. Amazing doctors we just have to listen. And families I am begging of you support your patients. Take people to hospital. Cancer see uchawi. Cancer see lana. Cancer see ati people being cast. Tafadali. And actually Maureen all those people are not taking their patient to hospital.  Take people to hospital. And even the families who are picking patients because I know them especially where I come from I am still coming for you. You have to take people to hospital. And this is a must. Then you guys why are you telling people that cancer is never healed? And it is not cured. Are you uncorred? And why are you even telling people that? Can you please stop? You know why people don't come out many people like us. So not people are getting healed. But they are scared. Because when I tell Maureen I am in total remission like cancer Iponagi. What are you telling me? That is so sad. Stigmat. And then also employers you know also that is a huge problem. When someone gets case of cancer what actually is the cause of the disease who don't do it they can't touch you. You are not an island.  Society needs to stop stigmatization because it can happen to me Maureen it can happen to me cancer can't touch it doesn't have boundaries. Then the aftermath let me tell you why I am here even you Maureen we even don't know each other but I am begging you please Maureen what are you telling me? What are you telling me? What are you telling me? That is the end of SSI Mambozilla weza ni nazo what are you telling me? What are you telling me? because it is a very painful disease let me tell you Maureen cancer art and I actually wanted you to touch on that because I have heard so many people saying it's a very painful disease could you just give us a glimpse of that? Chemodera pay Chemodera pay is very painful this is a combination of diseases which doctors don't even understand you can imagine treatment you are nails your body becomes let me tell you it is a very painful experience which you don't even wish you are worst enemy to go through you don't so please Chemodera pay is not easy those medicines even thereafter they are not easy like me now I am going on therapy for 10 years it is not easy it is not cheap please don't let yourself go there then the therapy is not cheap it is not also easy Maureen it erones you know it is like Chemodera pay ni kama ni literally killing you to rebuild you afresh because they can't separate the cancer cells but all of them so the process is extremely difficult the symptoms aftermath is extremely difficult please people let's take care of ourselves because the generic cancers are only 5% this is where people are born with maybe no suppressors tumor suppressors have been damaged by this or the other it is only 5% because if you go back kitambo up in our times or our parents time this thing was not so but now it is so rampant which is wrong Maureen it is us human beings who are doing everything wrong when you go to farmers the best times they are using killing people in the out when you come to us what are we eating you know and why is this generation drinking as if there is no tomorrow that is also a problem I have people are no longer taking care of themselves sorry Nana it is important also to note how much not just the drinking how much poisonous drinks people are being given out there or we are being given out there we all know about these fake drinks I can only imagine if actual alcohol can do that to the body what about this sewage you talked about that one has stuck I am looking at everything and I am like sewage sewage everywhere I don't even know how to answer you because I am also thinking this alcohol thing is a big problem because alcohol because those things you are doing is equal to pure uric acid and you know now what happens to the body when your body is full of uric acid it will have to take it somewhere thank you and then when your body is so full of acid what happens anything can thrive then you are stressed when you are stressed there is an hormone which is being produced in your body called cortisol fights your immune system imagine you are drinking you are eating so badly you are stressed this is a combination literally poisoning your body from all ends so what are you doing to your body and look after mat look at me at 42 and I am having all these side the big M look at the way I am having hot flashes but this is because of the treatment and the therapy and you know this treatment most of them the chemotherapy makes most of the people barren like it is so ya ni Maureen this disease is so out wrenching if people could just understand then all of us will wake up as I said collective responsibility Maureen this is your body this is the only place you live in you have no any other body take care of it listen to the experts the doctors listen to the nutritionists you know and then follow instructions it is simple my dear then let us help others who are in need we are a community where we need to help others because cancer is a big problem even to our economy Maureen can you imagine every year we are losing 37,000 people if you divide that by 12 it is around 3,800 people per month what is that doing to our human resource and those are they are usually at the highest peak of their productivity that makes a lot of sense you understand even as we all bury our ends thinking that what is this doing even to our economy you understand it is a big problem now let me come to NHLF all of you Kenyans where we asla where we nani make sure your NHLF can is updated NHLF can is a real deal breaker please make sure your NHLF can is updated what are the preventive measures Maureen please eat well I told you the needs to avoid actually na na sorry let me just out of curiosity I am giving I want to be very realistic in terms of our resources yes we are in a tropical country we are very blessed especially with organic foods in terms of preventing we know exactly what to avoid as of this point but even new at home what are these foods that you are able to access and what now it's like ok stop that but then what else what can you do I know where you are thinking they know where you want to stand actually no actually let me tell you if there is somebody who does not fight education in fact I want to know what I am going to throw out and what I am going to introduce so let's take it from there so many people when I tell them with pregnancy say maureen let me ask you look at drama look at washi look at pumpkin but look at green bananas which are everywhere look at scarvers which are everywhere you understand look at green bananas look at green bananas ok between that tea and that porridge which is cheaper we just need to open our minds more broadly and think about the automaton think about the automaton my dear you cannot be passing kusava there and saying what are you going to eat this are things which are affordable they are everywhere I am telling you the truth it's only that we don't want to think broadly and we don't want to accept we are making excuses ok fine you can't afford drama and minding true am I there and let me ask you between you are frying there in your house and then go and then beans I mean those black beans we have menji we have command we have variety and it's true and it's very tasty thank you what about those cabbage cabbage is so good you can't afford cabbage you can't afford cabbage tell me how many Kenyans can't afford cabbage guys come on we have a whole variety and please don't tell me at your full of pest signs and I will tell you I have a solution for everything so please don't give me those excuses at the owner ok fine you hit then you have aloe vera aloe vera I'm telling you the truth this is you can't give us medicine everywhere the only problem we have is that we are too lazy to think we are too lazy to go that extra mile you don't want to go that extra mile to go and tuna those rosemary leaves and jamusha them and take them because also of the taste and because also your twit tooth is only guiding you to these other sweet things let me tell you those things guys and please I know Kenyans the way they were even on my social media pages because every day I wake up to teach people every day of my life on my social media pages on our organization pages on Facebook, Twitter Instagram, LinkedIn this information I'm talking and more and more because I'm working a lot with cancer research scientists I'm working with oncologists and all these doctors chemical engineers people who have knowledge about trees all these people are working with them to help us but people in but are you taking action Maureen and even I want to take it as a challenge to you Maureen today I know you have take one thing mind ya kamaoja too na please urana okia na iwi unafikiri and think about the pain I went through because if I show you my toes up to date 4 months down the line you understand I don't want any of you I tell people I'm a general and general rest when the old troop members are safe and you are my troop and because I'm here talking about it please listen 2.1% of what I'm teaching you move with it and don't tell me what I want people who have been eating well and they are safe excuse even excuses and ignorance let us play our part and then God will also play our part and this is not a blame on government Maureen it is not a blame on our parent or our anything it is our responsibility to take care of ourselves and please one more thing those who have been eating well those who have been drinking well please make sure you have lemon and watermelon those are power powerful fruits why they have a very high pH so every morning like me what I wake up and do I wake up squeeze pure lemon with no water and take 2 tbsp that thing it neutralizes those cancer cells faster than chemotherapy my goodness and please don't tell me lemon doesn't have acidity it is your body which is sick yes I love the fact that you mentioned that because a lot of people say it is your body which is sick watermelon is a power fruit Maureen how much is watermelon watermelon is everywhere even at 10 it is true kula watermelon then drink water be the doctor of your own and then research want to know it is not being useless things you take to kagadou room you need to burn I am telling you research on these which are valuable to you especially if you are 30 you are no longer a child it is your responsibility to take care of yourself I have told you 2 fruits if you mess up the news I said watermelon and lemon is a power fruit that breakfast alternated with mkwashi mkwashi is a power fruit the sweet potatoes they are powerful but for me these things my dear friends and when we are able to conquer a thing of diet then other things will believe you me I honestly didn't know how this conversation was going to go but I am so grateful that you are actually touching on actual things that even if you are at your lowest you should be able to prevent because of the we are blessed with resources as a country especially we have very taste for food and personally I am actually thinking wait a minute I can afford these things how come the shopping list looks a bit different now I know from next time in fact I am going to do a note on my fridge order these sweet potatoes domas and think about it it is actually very delicious food thank you very the beans the organic the deguz the yellow beans you know and teach your children to eat these things teach your children these children they look at what you are doing sorry guys then they do as we tell so let us be a society which is willing and intentional to do the things the right way intentionality to do the right thing yes and intentional about preventive measures because they are more cheaper as compared to creative measures very very true you can imagine how these people are helping I now have a list of 120 out of 120 we have only covered 65 and these others imagine they are just at home maintaining cancer with pattern to end all this because they cannot afford treatment they cannot afford to pay for NHIR and we cannot prevent this thing we cannot prevent this thing trust you and everybody like you said anyone is susceptible it can come and take you no matter what so I really really think that it is just incredible that you are putting that across exactly what is your general message to the entire community in terms of support system and I feel like you really spoken so well on preventive measures you also mentioned your support system is what kept you going but what is the one message you can tell people in one minute please eat well eat well it is the only body you live in eat well number two support your sick people relatives friends support them make sure they go to hospital the treatment for cancer are different but they are normally for these are the four processes there is a sanjari mostly there is a chemotherapy there is a red therapy then there is maybe a monotherapy if it is a mono related maybe for women the reconstruction so make sure when your people get sick when you go to those oncologists that ask questions make sure you understand what you are going through and what you are being given for what also another thing if you allow me I will really hanch our people the corporates both internationally to help us because this is an organization in the cancer health initiative is an organization with a big vision and all of you can see what you are doing is to support us with resources right now we have a fund caravan for these people support us with a little actually now I am saying in 264 the BXC patient is a KG of Degu and one packet of Ugani that is one of 5 sheet list and 155 it is 260 that is a million if I get 510 here we feel so many families in the slums in our communities please support us follow us on

NHS and take them to hospital right now I have a couple of them even I am going to see them now which are benefitting from our program so please let us step in for each other to be a people who are human to humanity because people don't believe or remember us because of what we have it is what we made other people feel or what we do for other people and I want to tell all of us when you are helping those sick people those oppressed cancer patients there is no gesture of kindness which goes to waste thank you so much I feel very challenged I feel very well informed indeed what you are doing it is not free but it is actually worth so much more because if I can prevent I won't have to go through that process I won't have to go through that pain I won't have to stop my life in order to get the treatment I won't have to die even go through the aftermath of cancer treatment and we thank you for what you're doing we'll be happy to support where we can challenge I'll check you out on social media and I'm going to soldier behind you thank you Nana wow guys if this is not the moment we say whatever Nana is offering us people pay for millions together we saw the other day somebody

redirecting you how can you avoid getting there if you have a story similar to that a story that can inspire inform educate please share with us on Y254 here and we'll be happy to host you until next time good night and happy holidays the final part of the show


Here we go again. Fueled by the recent flooding in the north and drought in the south of the country, the Bradfield scheme is again making headlines. Who was Bradfield? What was his scheme? Dr John Bradfield was the engineer who designed the Sydney Harbour Bridge. His scheme proposed a system of pipes, tunnels, pumps and dams to divert river water from the tropical north across the Great Dividing Range and into inland Australia. The Bradfield scheme. Bradfield claimed that this would solve our water problems and fuel agricultural production, but he was wrong. Importantly, this water is needed for coastal fisheries in the north. It's not wasted. And it wouldn't make the desert bloom. Water would be lost to evaporation and get soaked up by floodplains and wetlands. To avoid the loss of water, more than 2,000 kilometres of pipe and infrastructure would need to be built and the construction and ongoing costs would be financially prohibitive. Finally, the extra water would change the ecology of our inland rivers and result in the extinction of many species that require the variability of flood and drought to survive. In short, implementing the Bradfield scheme would be an economic and environmental disaster.


Welcome to Tick Mill Weekly Market Outlook for week commencing the 29th of June with me, Patrick Munlow. The return to better functioning of the wholesale US dollar money markets and the floor of dollar liquidity has reinstalled a risk on dollar off regime. This can be seen for example with the rising negative correlation between the S&P 500 and the dollar crosses. The biggest current threat really to that risk on regime probably comes from the unchecked rise in US COVID-19 cases and the response at the district, state and federal level. Renewd lockdowns stand to delay the US recovery as seen in the sell off on Friday in the S&P 500. But we also know that Congress and the Fed have a light trigger finger when it comes to fresh stimulus. At some point, will investors start to identify the second wave as a problem unique to the US, meaning the dollar does not receive the typical boost on bad news. In terms of data, the weak head culminates in the 3rd of July public holiday on Friday, but we'll see much data and Fed speak beforehand. Thursday sees the release of non-farm payrolls, where we can look for a slightly above consensus 3.5 million jump in hiring as April's 20 million jobs decline continues to be reversed. We should also see a good manufacturing eye as a print, perhaps even hitting the 50 level and reasonably strong consumer confidence data. FOMC minutes of the 10th of June meeting will also be released and a host of Fed speakers will be on tap. If you have to pick, you'd probably look at Williams, Fed Chair Williams, who's speaking on a panel with the IMF on Monday and Jerome Powell and Secretary Mnuchin testifying before the House on Tuesday. It's been a good quarter for risk, 20 to 30% gains via S&P and NASDAQ respectively, so a little profit taking, which probably started on Friday, may continue to be the theme as we head into this week. From a technical perspective, the dollar index has put in a reversal of the reversal coming into last week. We saw that short reversal and we then countered that move. Whilst we hold this 9640 area, what I look for now is an equality objective at the 9628 symmetry swing resistance there versus this swing coming in at 9840. And we also have trend line resistance coming in there. So any move up into this 9820 to 9850 area, I'll be watching for bearish reversal patterns to set short positions looking for at least a move to retest the year to date. It goes at 9460 on route to an ideal equality objective at 9360. In the Eurozone, one worrying development for the Euro has been the US reconsidering sanctions against European goods. Negotiations on tax on the digital industries have not been going well and a much larger threat looks to be in the making over Nordstrom too. It's clearly in US interest for this pipeline delivering Russian gas to Germany and Europe not to go ahead. But the EU looks like it's prepared to stand up to US interference in domestic energy policy. A term for the worse in news flow here could undermine some nascent European optimism on the subject of optimism. Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron meet on Monday as they try to finalise the plans for getting the EU recovery fund over the line. The Eurozone data calendar sees June CPI and some final June PMI releases. Germany also sees June unemployment figures where the rate is expected to rise to 6.5% from a technical perspective. Whilst we trade below this 11360 area, I'm now looking for a test of symmetry swing and equality support down to 11050 to 111. Watching for bullish reversal patterns in this area to set long positions, targeting a retest of the year to date highs just below 115 on route to an ideal equality objective at 116. It's a fairly quiet week on the UK data front with final Q1 GDP and June PMI readings having little impact on sterling. Instead, the focus will be on a series of policy speeches over next week from the Bank of England officials. Economists look for further clues on possible shifting policy preferences between QE and negative interest rates. Following Governor Bailey's comments on the sequencing of between rate hikes and unwinding the balance sheet. Also watch for a speech by PM Johnson on Tuesday outlining a massive infrastructure stimulus plan. Other than that, the prime and overriding driver for sterling remains the UK-EU trade negotiations. Expect little progress during the summer months, keeping the uncertainty about UK growth and trade outlook in place, in turn having some weight on sterling as probably one of the G10 effects under performers. The deadline for the UK to request a transition period for the extension will pass this week. The impact on sterling should be limited as the UK government already indicated it won't opt for it. From a technical perspective sterling looks to be testing now the symmetry swing and equality support at the 122.50 to 123.20 area. I'm watching for bullish reversal patterns in this zone to set long positions initially looking for a move back to test the 125 handle from below. Failure to find support at the 122.50 would open a move to retest 122.60. In thinning summer markets there's been some focus on whether soft banks divestment of shares in US telco team mobile could have been responsible for hitting the dolly end last week. Soft banks stake is worth around 30 billion and corporate finance activities are already underway as part of soft banks plan to buy back 2 trillion shares in Japanese yen.  This may have been a factor behind the recent dip in the dolly end. In the week ahead the Japanese calendar sees retail sales and industrial production for May on Wednesday. The second quarter released in the Bank of Japan's Tanker and Business Survey. This is expected to fall heavily as the impact of the second quarter shutdowns are factored in. Their consensus for a large manufacturing rate at minus 25 is quite a way off the minus 50 lows seen in 2009. We'll also be watching Japanese buying of foreign bonds mentioned this last week with three consecutive weeks of strong buying. Unless we are going to see some sort of paradigm shift to a bearish US story driving the dollar lower, dolly end for now is likely to remain range bound. Also an outside risk are the developments in Hong Kong trying to look set to sign a new security legislation to law this weekend which could prompt some further retaliation from the west. So in light with that theme of range I'm looking for the dolly end to move back up into the 108 area where I will be looking for bearish reversal patterns to ultimately target a retest of the 106 lows, a breach here opening move down to the quality objective at 104.20. You'll note we saw a similar decline in recovery after the March spike and so I'm looking for that pattern to play out again over here and then a grind lower into the back end of the summer. The Australian dollar keeps tracking global sentiment without a clear idiosyncratic direction due to the lack of key data releases in central bank activity in Australia. This should continue to be the case this week although we don't expect to jump in infections in Australia may start to show its mark on the currency as the notion that Australia had successfully contained the virus was one of the factors that helped the Australian dollar build its recent resilience. Australian Prime Minister Morrison has shrugged off the new outbreak and pledged to continue with reopening the economy. Should the number of cases grow at a higher pace, markets may start to price at least a slower easing of the lockdown. Looking at the calendar, retail sales on Fridays expected to show a double digit rebound and the Reserve Bank of Australia's Debell speech on Tuesday may clarify the bank's position on the Australian dollar after lows comments last week. From a technical perspective, as we hold the 69-70 area, I'm looking for a test of the quality support at the 67 handle watching for bullish reversal patterns in this area to set longer positions, initially targeting a retest of the price of 70-60 on route to an ideal objective of 70-150. Failure to hold support at 67 will open a deeper corrective move back down to the 65-30s before another bid opportunity will develop. That concludes the weekly market outlook for week commencing 29 June.


Hey friends today, I am back in Walt Disney World I've been gone away for the past 10 days up in Pennsylvania visiting family and other theme parks like Hershey Park and Canobals, but now I have finally made it back home and something major has happened while I was gone I don't need to wear a mask outside anymore Any hoos. Let's go do this. I Think I'm gonna make my way up to fantasy land and we're gonna start off there But I wanted to stop and just appreciate how beautiful the castle is now that it's all fully filled in I think the last time I was here. This was a construction site now the ducks are having a grand old time Look at them down there. Happy as can be. I Can't even begin to tell you how much I'm loving this right now I feel so amazing just to be able to walk around like this and not feel like the heat and the The the swampiness because I feel like that's a good definition when you have the mask on swampy face swampy face. I Wanted to check out seven doors mine train. It looks like it's sitting at about a 50-minute wait I noticed that people that are waiting in line outside is actually not wearing their mask But as soon as they get to this point they're being told that they need to put their mask up So I think as long as you're in a queue you need to wear Massel even though you're outside of the queue you still should be wearing it So that's what I'm gonna do The line moved super quick and you do need to wear your mask even if you're on the outside So mine just stays on the whole entire time. I'm actually used to wearing the mask So even though we have to wear it in the queues and whenever we come in close contact with cast members I'm perfectly fine with that. Oh Yeah, that's the way row number one. I'm excited Oh boy, what a way to start off the day Oh We're just sitting here. Oh, there we go. Oh, that was awesome. I wish we got it back and read it from there Look at that view. Oh, there it goes Oh, yeah, now we got it. Yep lean Perfect try to rock it as much as I can, you know You're an oldie Oh, there she is That is frightening isn't it she even agreed with me That was awesome, I love it when you get stopped in some spots and you just get that extra couple seconds to appreciate your Surroundings and happen twice on that ride once right at the top of the hill and then also when we came down We got to sit there and spend some time with the actual witch and she was frightening She's the scariest thing probably in Walt Disney World and Snow White scary adventures that used to be that was 10 times scarier I loved it Now I want to adventure down into adventure land while I was up in Pennsylvania I visited Dutch Wonderland and I had a dough whip from there and I was like well This is a pretty good dough whip, but it's not a Disney dough whip So I wanted to come out today and specifically get a dough whip so I can see the differences since it's still fresh in my mind. I Don't know why I need to give you a backstory of why I need to get a dough whip I mean there should be no excuse to have to get a dough whip. You could just get a dough whip because it's a dough whip The wait times aren't that bad actually for mid-May 40 minutes for Peter Pan's flight It was 50 for seven doors mind train, but I only waited about 40 I would say and that's not bad I mean June is gonna be her next month. Oh, it's a small world. There's only a 20 minute wait See these aren't bad wait times at all I'm still having a great sensation walking around without my mask on I'd be time I pull up the camera and I go to start a video. I'm like, but then I'm like, yes, yes This is great. I am so happy to be back here just to be able to walk around. I mean that's like the biggest thing I'm not even a hurry to run into any rides or anything like that I kind of just like walking around and letting the wind hit my face like Oh One thing that I'm actually curious about though is since now you don't need to wear your mask outside Do you think that's gonna make people want to not go to the country bear jamboree and carousel progress as much or even before? I know a lot of people were definitely going and sitting down at restaurants more often because they wanted to take a break and Take their mask off. So do you think dining reservations will be more easier to get now? A lot of things change because of this My window time to get my dole whip is in ten minutes and I could tell you I can taste it now I'm so excited. This is gonna be delicious right now. It's a perfect temperature for a dole whip and I'm ready I'm ready ten minutes can't go by quicker. Oh Boy, we got to find ourselves a spot to eat this. It's melting pretty quickly Gotta find a seat gotta find a seat. Maybe we'll sit right here where the snakes used to be No, it's too hot there too hot too hot there. Oh, no Look at this. We are in trouble here, but I found a garbage can. I mean that's better than nothing I got some napkins. It's it's it's causing a mess here, but we're gonna clean up This is a delicate situation here and we got the wind blowing on us I don't know what to do There we go, that's the way It's so good though it really is Okay, yeah, you look it off the top and then I know how to fix this I know how to fix this That's all you had to do I'm giving it a bam So delicious much much better than the dole whip that I got at Dutch Wonderland Bonnie you have to try it. I Can't believe I panicked like that. All I had to do is just take a big sip out of the juice Well, I guess the next time I learned I had to run to the restroom to get like paper towels because napkins were not cutting it, but there we go nice and clean And a little goldfish for good purposes Now I think I'm gonna head on over into frontier land And maybe check on the wait times for Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain I haven't rode Splash Mountain in a while. So I might do that I usually don't like to ride that ride because I get soaking wet and then it's a big soggy bottom kind of day And it's just not the life for me, but you know, it's kind of a nice day today. So we might do it. We might do it I like to check the people out as they actually go down the plummet there to see if they got wet. Hello friends Not too wet No, oh, okay. See they say it's okay. I believe them One thing I've noticed though at Universal Studios the water rides over there You don't need to wear a mask.  I don't know why like, you know We mean maybe because the the mask get wet then so I mean, huh Take a look at that ridiculously long line though for Splash Mountain 45 minutes I don't think it's 45 minutes if it's lining up here Like that is that is a long long wait But we're going for it. I mean I'm in it in it to win it Take a look at the weight though. Holy moly The ac in the queue line for Splash Mountain is probably the best ac in all the Magic Kingdom If you get lucky enough and get stopped right underneath the vent, you're in heaven I'm feeling it right now. I don't want to move but I gotta keep up with the line, but Oh lordy, that's good. That's the good stuff Oh looks like we got row number one right now in the queue line They tell you that they can't accommodate any request and this is one you don't want to sit in the front In fact, I don't like sitting in the back either.  I hope that happens I hope that this part right here when he dropped to the laughing place is actually where it turns into Friends on the other side Are you ready? Can you imagine like dropping down? Well, I've got friends on the other side Oh boy, oh no I got a little bit wet Mostly my hat and the camera the camera did get wet and I was like, oh, but also while I was riding in the dark I noticed I had a bad pixel in the camera So I think I have to get a new camera because you guys notice I would be on the right hand side You can see like a little glowing light Almost had to get a definitely a new camera there But anyways, let me know in the comments if you noticed that dead pixel in the corner there That was so much fun, and I think I'm gonna dry off pretty quickly.  I mean, that's a I'm bald I'm happy we got in line when we did because now it is a 70 minute wait It was actually probably around a 50 minute wait while we were waiting in line So it was definitely longer when we got in line But now that is definitely the wait time because the line is going all the way over the bridge Now I think I'm gonna head back on over to Main Street, USA And maybe stop in the Starbucks and get a coffee. I could use a coffee to give me a little pick me up, you know As I make my way over to Main Street I do want to say hey key and it was nice to meet you buddy and uh, thanks for watching the videos So I hope you're watching this one and uh, yeah, it was awesome to meet you. See you I was standing here staring at the castle for a little bit and I realized this felt one's not on So I never really get to see it kind of just like that And then I got noticing goofy here and I don't know. I think I'm just paying attention a little bit more today than I normally am Doesn't look like there's a bad line for Starbucks But it makes me wonder, you know, a lot of people prefer joffreys over starbucks If they had a closer location for joffreys other than over in tomorrow land Do you think people would stop and get joffreys like somewhere else around here? I don't know where the closest one is other than like the quick services But you know how joffreys has that one special sign like staying there I wonder if they had one closer to Main Street people would go there too Honestly, I like them both just as good. So I probably would go to the one that has the least amount of people waiting in line Because I'm going inside I have to put my mask on but I've been putting my mask on anytime I come close to a cast member anyway I feel like that's very respectable thing to do. They're still wearing mirrors So if you know, you have a photo pass or even to pick up your food from quick service You have to put your mask on and just any general time you're around them. I just think it's nice to wear your mask Looks like they've got something new on the menu a strawberry funnel cake frappuccino Now that sounds kind of delicious But I think I just need my regular coffee, but if you've had that strawberry funnel cake before let me know what it tastes like I got my coffee and I also decided to get a water and I didn't realize they were going to give me this gigantic big cup Thank you so much. Good sir And now I'm happy I just had the biggest epiphany So earlier I was running to get to somewhere so I can eat my dough whip because I forgot That you no longer have to be stationary when you're eating or drinking Like that just hit me because I was like I wish I could walk around and drink my coffee And then I realized I said holy moly. I could do that. I came over here and sat down I was like, wow, I wish I could just like walk around, but I can do that now. This is the craziness. Wow We take for granted the littlest things, but this is something I missed so much Just having a coffee and walking around and taking sips as you just kind of people watch You know That's the good stuff It's also good to point out that the relaxation stations are still open Not sure why but at least you can relax I often wonder if they're going to keep the relaxation stations open. You know what I mean? Like there's not much need for them. It's nice to have a designated area to sit down though Because sometimes it's hard to find a spot to sit down like usually the tables or Trash cans are taken up. So you end up just running around So I mean, but they don't need like an attendant for that. They could just have the seats there huh Things are really starting to look up here at disney world No mask outside the people move we're running and I even hear tell of two monsters From north carolina who are trying to work on some laughing floor that might come back soon But it'll never work Looks like buzz light years out too So I think I'm going to go over and say hi to buzz real quick and then maybe we'll go ride the people mover or The astral orbiter. Yes Hello buzz question astral orbiter or people mover Astral orbiter, that's the way. Thank you I always ask buzz where I should go next and he always leads me in the right direction. So astral orbiter it is Here they come both elevators now Let's see how many they load up in there like I said they used to just like load up one group at a time I think they might be doing more than one group at a time. It makes sense at that point Oh, wait. Oh looks like they might be only doing one group still Oh, definitely. They're doing one group at a time. So I'm gonna have my own elevator And that's why it actually makes it a little bit longer Maybe just people are not interested in riding it like they were before because the people mover was closed But regardless it is a short line I got the whole elevator to myself and take a look at the certificate of operation astral orbiter 1225 monowail monowail My speech impediment came out there monowail way Isn't that so funny When I was younger I had a real bad speech impediment So all of my w's and r's got messed up and I would be like, what's your favorite color? And I would say wedd or white that way kind of like uh elmer fun. Did he speak with him? Yeah, he always did that rabbit But here we are Time to get aboard the astral orbiter. Look at it. It's such a beautiful day for this as well We got to grab ourselves a rocket Not this one Maybe this one, but definitely not that one.  There she is. Oh, wow. Look at these views Oh, there's the castle I like how some of the rockets aren't working so that one down there is just kind of like hanging down low We're going all the way around Attic whatever i'm spinning around in high places You can see a lot of backstage actually here Look at all the backstage you can see right there Oh, we're going down Oh, this is the rough part right here.  Hey, how are you? Yeah, thank you. Oh, it's so nice any hoes. I hope you enjoy the video.  I love it here. This is my home and this is uh my happy place Like you know how people like say happy place. I feel like that is such a cliche thing to say But it's a hundred percent the truth. I just get so happy being back here like I really really do and uh Yeah, so, uh, I hope you enjoyed the video. We'll see you next time. Bye Oh, I came here just in time for the last song Supercalifragilisticepialidotus


Now, I know it would be so easy to not really think about anything else that's going on with these Baltimore Ravens because so much of what we think about, what we talk about, what's been going on, what's being talked about is everything with Lamar Jackson. But this kind of slipped through the cracks for me. Because when I saw it online, I saw it on Twitter, and I was like, oh, that's just a rumor. That's just a rumor. That ain't got no validity to it. Even though the guy that was talking about it, he was like standing 10 toes down about it. He was like, no, this is real. I tried to tell y'all that this was real. And I was like, oh, I don't know who that is, so I can't really get too hyped about it. I saw some other people talking about it and whatnot, but I was like, okay, whatever. But Jeff Zrebe confirmed it. And that was about the Ravens' interest in cornerback Darius Slay. Because if you remember Darius Slay, he obviously been with the Eagles for a little bit, but it was said that the Eagles were trying to come up with some kind of contract extension with him, or else they were going to release him. Then it was said that, okay, they were going to release Darius Slay. He was going to be a free agent. And I was like, oh, wow. And I know some people even sent in some questions from subscribers. Oh, imagine Darius Slay and Marlon Humphrey opposite each other. And I was like, oh, yeah, that'd be nice. But at the same time, I didn't see the Ravens doing it. But then at the same time, I was like, but it is a defensive player. So you know how Ravens are when it comes to that. They will do anything and everything for a defensive player. But then it ended up coming out that they weren't going to release him. It was announced that they were going to release him, but then they came out, oh, no, no, no, we're not going to release him. And then they came out with a contract agreement. So he's remaining with the Philadelphia Eagles. But I had seen this guy say, oh, Ravens were all over that. Ravens were interested in that. And again, I saw who it was from and I was like, oh, I don't know who that is. Then I even saw some of the replies to his tweets and stuff and people like, oh, you keep taking all these shots. You better stop soon. I was like, oh, yikes. But apparently he was right. Let's read the part of the article from Jeff Zribick. He said, and let's be clear here that the Ravens haven't signed any big ticket free agents. Doesn't mean they can't or won't. See, I like that part. And this is just an excerpt from the article from the Athletics. Shout out to Jeff Zribick, by the way. But he let it be known. Like it's not that they can't or it doesn't mean that they won't. So he's basically saying like, hey, if they want to sign some big name for people or person, they can if they want to. They can make it happen. And that's the same thing we've been saying on here. Like, hey, if there's a way, if there's really a will, there's a way, there's a way. You can get created with this stuff, but if you want to make it happen, you can make it happen. But anyway, continuing, he said, there were signs that they had significant interest in cornerback Darius Slay when it appeared that Philadelphia Eagles were going to release him. Slay and the Eagles wound up working out an extension, and the Ravens met a couple of days later with free agent Rock Yacin, a 26 year old starting cornerback like Yacin won't come all that cheap. Really I felt like he would come cheap. Definitely cheap in Darius Slay. But anyway, that's when I saw that, I was like, whoa, whoa, really, really, and see, but it got me to thinking. But I guess this can sort of give Ravens fans some hope when they hear about the Ravens being interested in the DeAndre Hopkins call a sudden Odell Beckham, Jr., or if all those, or if all those guys are a smokescreen for somebody who they really interested in. I was like, wow, when this first came out, because this was before they will say that the Ray was really in a DeAndre and all them like that. I was thinking like, great, that would be cool. That'd be, that'd be awesome. Marlon Humphrey, Darius Slay, ooh, nice. But where's this energy for offense? Where's this willingness for the offense? Where's this strategy for the offense, specifically at the wide receiver position? Because it's been said by the Ravens directly, hey, you can never have enough corners. You can never have enough corners. And hey, we as Ravens fans, we know that because the Ravens could be prepared more than ever at the cornerback position. Like even last the first couple of years, it happens every year, Ravens come prepare that cornerback. It's like, all right. If we say healthy, hey, we got a squad at cornerback, baby, every year, usually they like set, but then somebody gets hurt and somebody else gets hurt and somebody else gets hurt and somebody else gets hurt and somebody else gets hurt. It always ends up happening like that. But the fact is that they go into the season prepared at the position every time and I love it. I love it. But if you can never have enough corners, what are these cornerbacks job? Who are they covering for their job? They're covering receivers. They got a guard receivers.  But there's still been a lack of there. And I know that you can't have every single thing and every single play and this and that and the third, but the way that the Ravens prepare at cornerback, I just wish they would prepare at receiver that same way. I really do. I wish they were prepared to see for the same way, because if the effort that they put into the secondary, if they put that same effort into the receiver, oh, my goodness, it will be a beautiful thing. And again, this offseason, we're going to see, we're going to see, because I didn't say, hey, I'm not confident this whole time. Again, the report came out. OK, they'll beg a Jew you call this letter. I wish they would have thrown my Evans in that. Hey, look, Ravens, look, I don't know if you're watching this or not. But look, be honest with y'all, man. I know y'all like smoke streams. I know y'all love smoke streams, man. And if this whole report about you checking out the Andre and O'Dell and Courtney, if this whole thing is a smokescreen and it's a smokescreen for Mike Evans, I ain't going to be mad. I will not be mad at all. I won't be mad. Hey, I will love it. I will love it because he would actually be my first choice over all of them, over all of them, even the Andre Hopkins. Y'all know, y'all know, I love the Andre Hopkins and really wanted to get the Andre Hopkins. I mean, still do. But Mike Evans would be my number one guy. It's like the Andre. How did Mike Evans, the Andre Hopkins like when he won't be? So this is a smokescreen. Hey, have at it. Just close the deal. But anyway, I just hearing this about Darius Slay. Um, it really makes you realize and understand like, hey, if the Ravens want to do this at wide receiver, if they want to make the investment at wide receiver, they can. They can and not just be a draft picks, because they've done that.  I said it in another video that, um, with the Ravens and wide receiver, it's like, because we know they've, they've taken the shots at wide receiver via the draft. It's been obviously two first round picks, Hollywood and Bateman. It's been a two third round picks, Miles Boykin, Devin Duvenay. It's been a fourth round pick. Tyler Wallace has been a fifth or sixth round pick in James Pro Shade. Um, am I missing anybody? I don't think so. Cause whenever they've taken receivers, they've taken two every time because Hollywood and Boykin, uh, was Bateman and was Bateman and Duvenay and Pro Shade, uh, then it was Bateman and Wallace. So there we go. All right. So six times. So okay. Hey, nice shots. Nice swinging for the fences and whatnot. But via the draft, it's like with Eric DeCosta, he's taken like these three point shots from half court. Cause hey, some of them might go in, some of them might, he might make some of them. But there's much, there's a far less chance that those shots going. There's a far less chance that he makes those. You still shooting though. Hey, so that's good. You're still taking a shot. But there've been plenty of layup opportunities that they just ain't going for, they just haven't, um, and with the layup is more of a short thing. You could, you got the opportunity to miss a layup. You miss a layup, but it's way less likely that you miss a layup versus a half court shot. So anyway, um, let's see, let's see if Eric DeCosta with the receiver room, he ends up making a layup because I feel like the Andre Hopkins will be a layup. Um, Odell Beckham, Jr., like Odell Beckham, Jr. will be a free throw, depending on the end with the injuries and stuff. Uh, Coral and Sutton, he had been a little banged up too.  That's what Mike Evans, that's, that's why he would be my one A because he been really healthy man for the most part. I mean, he did, he did. I think he missed a little bit of time last year, like a little bit maybe, but he'd been pretty healthy overall. Um, so with him, like, Hey, I, and what 6465 and he could move, he could jump physical, like, man, but my only question is who would be throwing him the bottle? That'd be the only thing that I just, I don't know about. I don't know who'd be tossing him the rock. Who'd be throwing him the pill. I don't know whether that's going to be Lamar. It's going to be somebody else. That question, um, that's to be determined. Um, but we'll see how things go. Anyway, team keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. And, Hey, Ravens, try for Darius. Well, they didn't try for Darius, they, but they were seriously interested in Darius sleigh. Um, so again, while that is nice to know, and I know for some Ravens fans that burns like crazy, it hurts.  It's like, but it should give you a little bit of hope when it comes to their next move, whatever the next move is going to be, uh, at the wide receiver position. So will it be done? We'll see. Can it be done? Yes.


Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video and Merry Christmas happy holidays this video releases On Christmas even as such I thought it was time to to give everybody a special gift or at least what I hope is that and Celebrate the holidays right so today. We're gonna actually paint a whole model I'm gonna take you through my process my thoughts my decisions everything I do in painting one entire model from beginning to end Let's get into it. Let's strict techno man sir. That is VinCV. Let us get to the technique and learn it VinCV style Since it is Christmas time. There's really only one thing we can paint. It's got to contain green It's got to contain red that means it's time for an orc specifically. We're gonna be painting up the awesome golf rocker Recently released from GW. This is such a fun model. I love orcs. I love when they're goofy I love weird rock and roll chaos and orc things for no reason like it's just absolutely fun So today, we're gonna break him down to all the component parts We're gonna talk about orc skin and we're gonna talk about Using color and all of those things to make a fun sort of Christmas themed orc who knows how to rock and roll So Merry Orchmas. Let's get over to the desk With a model like this that I'm looking to take to display quality, but it's not for competition I want to try fun things. I want to do fun things. I want to make sure it stays interesting to me to paint And so these types of models where you're doing them as a one-off, you know, this isn't part of any army This isn't part of any larger project. This is just for pure fun These are the models that when you get your hands on them experiment try some freehand try some new paints Some new colors, right? Give yourself the gift Of getting rid of the guilt Of what if I fail? What if I mess something up? Who cares? It's a one-off. It doesn't matter and if you learn, well That's the best gift of all All right, the paints are going to scroll up top. So I'm not going to focus a lot on that We're going to talk about technique and the choices I make. That's our goal here This is an orc and we're going to work inside out. And so we start with the skin And I'm laying down this sort of very rich green vase Even though eventually I'm going to tilt a lot of this into the yellow green Because I want it to have that that richness that saturation underneath Now I'm using and working up into yellow as a highlight all the colors that I'm integrating here Add more and more effective yellow to the green. I could have done this all just through mixing the two colors themselves But it was more interesting to use these exact tones And the reason I'm using yellow is twofold first It's much more translucent and so I'm working in very gentle layers here Even though the transition might seem quite strong when you first see it when you first see it go on as I'm painting it in the video Once it dries, it's so translucent that I don't have to deal too much with layer lines and things like that I can get nice smooth transitions though. We will still glaze later The second reason I'm using yellow is because yellow just has a higher luminosity Luminosity, sorry And so it just Catches the eye. It's a lot more bright. It's a lot more vibrant. It's a lot more alive And so our orc here needs to be flashy. He needs to be eye grabbing. I mean, he's a rock star So hence we want that piece to really jump out The integration of the yellow into the skin tone and in fact highlights all around the thing will use yellows As I said a sort of universal highlight color Uh will help establish him as you know living in this place with this light this yellow this warm light Now as I build up the muscle structure again Notice how I'm still connecting some of the muscles together with the mid-tone highlights I don't just highlight each individual muscle group. Some of them become connected Some of them retain their deeper shadows as I get into the highest highlights That's when I start only working individually each little tiny area So this is a thing that I see people screw up on a lot And it's something that you just sort of have to establish over time But you're the easiest way I can say it is on upward facing areas Your shadow Color is your mid-tone That is as deep as it ever goes Now that I have all those there is still layers there Even when we're using something soft like yellow because acrylic paint just isn't meant for blending It's terrible at the thing use oil paints if you want to blend easily And so we're going to have to go in with glazes And here I'm going to do multiple glazes up and down the color spectrum The skin should feel very very smooth. It's the main show here. It's the main attraction And orks skin is naturally very interesting being green and having this yellow highlight as I have it So we want to really spend our time here to make sure that this pops this is smooth that it feels like skin So as I work these glazes around to get these slight color variations of value effectively right now in place and smoothed out That's mostly what I'm focused on. It's just are the values in the right place and are the transitions happening smoothly As I work though now now we need to bring in tonal variation of hue That means it's time for the red tone red tones, especially on green skin communicate life red tones in general communicate life Human eyes and the human brain is a real bias towards seeing red in skin We see that as being blood vital life And so using it as a soft shadow color throughout on his elbows his knuckles Uh, and in the actual shadows of his muscles can do a lot Integrating it into things like his lips his tongue around his eyes and his nose also helps him feel more alive Now is this guy wearing lipstick? I mean probably rock stars wear lipstick. So he does too But I'm carrying those colors to these other areas as well So there's red integrated throughout which of course because we're dealing with green is a contrasting color will really pop The veins I'm not trying to make red. I'm just popping those out of the skin and making them slightly brighter colored Than everything else. So they stand apart from the surfaces there on With the skin intact, it's time to really turn to our Christmas colors And I've seen most people paint this jacket black And I suppose I get that the whole black leather jacket thing, but that's boring to me I went for red. We're making a Christmas orc And at the same time why use black just for our shadows when we've got perfectly good red and green right here Ready to make a sort of chromatic shadow. That's much more convincing Using your contrasting complementary color To create your shadows is a really great effect, especially with red and green the two colors where it sort of works the best And I really love the effect this green has When put onto the red now when wet it's going to seem slightly more green and you might think Oh, no, what have I done? However, when it dries and it's exposed to the natural shadows that are going to happen is the miniature's sort of sitting straight up and down And the natural shadows are falling on it as well It will become darker and let much less expressed We're also going to tackle it slightly In another way here in a moment My next step, of course, is to smooth out some of that transition of the shadow And so with a very thin whole red glaze I'm going to bring some of that back into the spectrum and again just smooth down those shadows make them feel a little more natural Occlusion shadows are really important. They are effectively the very small shadow that separates the various elements Our brain again subconsciously expects them. And so anytime there is an area where two different Levels are meeting. So for example, his skin and the jacket sits on top of it Or the pocket sitting on top of the jacket or so on I'm working that very dark line in between Those dark lines are important. Not only do they help the paint job feel more clean And like the lighting is more realistic, but they also help your brain read the miniature better, which is really important Now that it's time to set some lighting and I want it to match the skin He's effectively lit above and slightly to one side. And so we're going to match that with the jacket Highlighting mostly on the top and to one side to create Direction in the lighting In general, I find directional lighting i.e. You know, there's sort of one sun and it's sitting in one direction or something like that to be far more interesting Than a sort of diffuse general all over lighting, but your mileage may vary. That's they're both perfectly valid styles And then of course we've got to pick out the edges and here I'm integrating sunny skin tone another yellow influenced color I didn't want to use one of the pure yellows as I didn't want to turn the jacket orange So instead sunny skin tone stands in being a sort of yellow orange derivative That will also make it feel like it's in the same color family The problem is doing all this highlighting and shading has knocked all of the saturation out of the jacket So we're coming in with that nice intense red glaze and this is very very very thin Just to re-instantiate some of that life and vibrancy into the jacket Now he does have these tiny little spikes and details all over his jacket And for the most part i'm completely ignoring those When you have lots of micro details on a surface You just ignore those to begin with treated as one large volume And then as you work smaller you'll then go in and handle those Speaking of which I then turn all the spikes black as that will be a good base for the metal later But of course now it's time to travel to other parts of the miniature Now i'm always a fan of this secret weapon rubber as pants on my orcs I don't know when this started. I think probably with my iron jaws army But I just like gray pants on orcs. I just think it looks good. It's a nice neutral tone And importantly it doesn't conflict with anything else going on in the miniature By being here and being this sort of neutral gray I don't have to worry about introducing additional color flammie families If I introduced it and made his pants brown That's almost by its very nature going to be bringing orange or something similar into it And making my miniature have a sort of color palette.  Of course, it's the only pair of shoes I own But again with these I'm being very gentle with the highlights. So with the boots and with the hat I'm just very carefully integrating in these brighter colors I don't want them to be too stark. I don't want them to draw focus away They need several layers of highlights and it needs to directionally match everything else that's going on, of course And I'm still hitting the edges and elements like that where appropriate to pop out and separate it So between the dark lines separating it and potential edge highlights, you get a really clean looking job But of course, I do want them to be more or less Uh, you know something in the background the boots the hat They're not they're not the thing we want to focus on what we're focused on is of course the work itself Its face and the action around the center of the figure Now the hat has a little more central location, but still it's basically the same story So I work it up gently and then glaze it back down And as a point of fact, you're going to see that happen quite a lot as you've already noticed with the red As I work up these layer highlights the last step in the refinement is almost universally glazing And that's because that's how we Finally bring our things together and though you only see me do one glaze on camera Understand that in reality I'm often doing two three maybe four glazes to bring things back together and get it in line Now I know I just said about the brown, but here I felt it was appropriate to pop it out And that's because I wanted a leather strap and some of the Belts to stand apart I did want to introduce a little bit of this color here as a minor element, but not as a major element with the pants Uh, and as I work up through the various ochre browns Uh, I'm now trying to tell a story through texture Whereas before I was mostly trying to be smooth Here I am in fact trying to be rough and let the brushstrokes actually create a narrative I want to separate this element of the miniature not just by its color, but also by its texture So I'm using these brighter colors and every step up is not at all applied as a a layer in any way my brush never rests and drags the miniature in fact, it's all just these hashes slashes stipples and dots Uh to create that variance Now what is a orc without some kind of especially an orc rock star without some kind of checks? Checks and daggs being of course the most important element of any orc's fashion Uh, these little uh daggs are on this belt. This belt is about Three millimeters across or something. I don't it's very small So this is just unbelievably zoomed in And at first I will admit even I was intimidated to try this freehand on something so small And I almost abandoned it and then I got my courage up and said I almost abandoned it because I was recording it And I thought I don't want to you know be crappy on camera for all of you But then I remembered. Oh, yeah, the whole point of this guy is to have fun is to experiment And what that means is that when I first applied those little boxes, you know As I just over the black painted little white squares and that sort of check mark pattern But it was far from perfect and that's fine I ended up working these back and forth as you can see now I'm back to the white again to correct it I ended up working them back and forth with magnifiers about five times To just get everything in place and where it should be and the manager looks a lot cooler. I have to say because of it Having conquered the tiny tiny tiny Little checks. It's time for some flames because you know, that's That's cool flames are cool Uh, so we're going to give him some flaming pants because rock stars need flaming pants. That's that's just the thing I didn't make the rules. It's just the rules And so to start out, of course, we just create the basic flame shape I wanted them coming up out of the boots, especially up out of these little skulls I thought that was kind of a just neat Combination the fact that those skulls were there and these kind of look like a little headdress on top Total accident. It just seemed like it fit the sculpt And the reason I'm working now with the flame and extremely thin glazes is because then I don't have to worry about being too careful Uh, the glazes are so very thin.  That's what I like With his flaming pants, he's ready to go and now it's time to turn to the guitar Uh, I noticed I think in the base art they had the guitar white Or the sort of sort of whitish color and that seemed fair enough. Um, it is a nice again neutral tone So after having base coated it, we're going to just again create some of those gentle shadows Uh, this when you're shading white, it's really a sort of game of chicken Where you're doing these incredibly subtle glazes and just trying to make it not suddenly stand out and look bad If you do you can always glaze back the other direction as you see me doing here But I just wanted some very soft very gentle shadows to show that the guitar does still have a shape Along with some very pronounced edge highlights using the same pass of yellow That a lot of other elements have used or gone to with their highest highlights including the scars on his body The hats and all those other the hat and leathers and all those other things But we can't just have a guitar it's got to have flames on it too because again rock star This was really such a fun chance to play around with this like ultra tiny freehand And I will admit this guitar stumped me for a little while I stared at it and then googled a bunch of pictures of I just literally googled the the phrase cool electric guitars And eventually found a little design of some flames. I thought looked cool And that's just it you're never going to just suddenly be able to pull everything from your head reach out into the world Find inspiration and get motivated and even on unusual shapes like this You can still make a real impression with this freehand Even though the bottom of the guitar as it is in the miniature is mostly taken up by those little knobs I was still able to paint sort of the illusion of flames around them pretending like I was doing the whole thing And your brain just tricks you and fills in the rest At that point then it's just a matter of laying them down Because there's a white background here instead of a dark background Hence why I use the dark edge line to make them pop out I didn't have to do so on the pants because the outer side was already dark and the bright color stands out against it His little squig speaker friend Of course needs some attention and love And after base coating him with that red, it's just a question of working him up naturally So because he is a natural organic creature here again, and we're dealing in the reds We're going to get into the sunny skin tone And again, I want all of this miniature to feel as though it exists in the same light In the same environment So we go repeatedly to the same color family over and over again for our highlights Pushing into these warm yellows or their derivatives to create a more unified visual experience And as with everything because we're jumping up Even when you're using a soft tone like sunny skin tone, you will see the layer lines really hard on reds So those final glazes are absolutely essential to bring everything together And this is another example of where I might have done it. I think two or three times some of them being off camera He has little bolts and you know fun things like that screwed into him because he's a machine and you know That's the nature of squigs So I of course coated all those but we can't just have a red squig I did a whole video on tiger squigs and I'm never going to back away from doing more tiger stripes Tiger stripes are also super rock and roll. This was just what is every 80s rock and roll trope? I can think of and then smash it together with an orc So Yeah, that's what we're going to do. We're going to make him a sweet tiger swig Now there's a secondary point though to this And that is that that bright red element red is really eye catching And it very much draws attention and so the whoever sculpted this fig It's challenging to paint because red draws the eye And the problem is the red is at the bottom of the miniature where you don't want the eye to be You don't want the eye staring at his left foot So we need to hide some of that but yet squigs are red So we had to desaturate a lot of that Hence the highlights hence these dots hence the black tiger stripes By bringing a lot of other colors in here by creating and instantiating other little elements That break up that red We disrupt its power and ability to simply draw the eye where we don't want it And allow it to then move back around the miniature over to the red jacket The red band on the helmet and those other things that will be attention grabbing The magic gold mix is then applied again. This is a whole video. I have if you want to understand what this mixture is Uh, then I moved on to the brass elements and look There it is. Okay. I don't know what to tell you. I messed around until I had a brassy color that I liked Life isn't about recipes. It's not always baking with painting painting is cooking not baking You season to taste and then you season some more But I wanted these elements to be different a different between sort of what his Grenade stick microphone was and the actual like gold skulls around him This silver that I then did all of the metal parts with so I could shade it down easily I started very bright that way it would be easy to just work in one direction namely down I was already at my highest highlight I also used that same silver to highlight the gold create the edges and the highlight points on that I'm leaving me with the final step of some very soft rhinox hide glazes Just as you saw in the recent shading true metallic metal video Basically just repeating a lot of what you saw there But in a very controlled way Now I did use the same shade color of the rhinox hide to create both the the interesting Tonal variation in the gold and also with this more bronzy Brassy color the same one works fine for both rhinox hide truly is a wonder and with that our little rocker Is ready to rock There we go. The golf rocker is all complete. I'll put some shots of him up here I do hope everybody is having a wonderful holiday season no matter what you celebrate if it is christmas Merry christmas to you. I love the holiday time of year And so this was just a really fun project to do for it He's green.

You want to do it? Yes. Scammer, it's our privilege that we met the last conference in Rome with this one. We left the people of Scammer in Rome for the peace meeting in Tirana and Scammer with us this year. So, welcome to Tirana. Welcome to our meeting. It's a beautiful honor to meet all of you here in Tirana and we are glad to see your passion and your commitment to our project. We will know that the treatment to Tirana in particular for some of you was far from being simple and faster. So, we know that you can try it for a little while and you will not be difficult. So, thank you for being here. This year, we are meeting in the southern city of Tirana. That is a great example of a tremendous innovation. It's a city that it's a strong name committed to freedom and so it's not bad. And the city is a very beautiful city. And it's also used in a lot of Arab and so on and so forth. So, for us, it's a room in Tirana. So, we are very proud to be here. It was also a blessing and we have a community that is making it possible this conference and our community. Thank you. My name is Parthio Tirana and I am responsible for my work at the Lama, for the Siamese, for that. I work for Oro, for Sina and for the Lhasa, for Kassau. And for what we are now in this session, for the Siamese, all the sessions that we will be doing this conference. All of our community, it's not only the way to do it. It's not what we are doing in the southern city of Tirana. All of our conference, it's a way to do it. All of our community. Our media project will be softer from last year in Tirana to now in Tirana. Early is three days of the conference. We will see what we develop and what the house is possible to do as well. And it's an important moment for sharing our experience and also for the input. Because you know, whenever we are going to meet in person, face to face, we are going to be able to find the number eight to do something, to do a network. And it's always incredible to share the community. And during these three days of the conference, we will have a lot of courses that can be technical. We also have a lot of workshops, like the one that we have been having on Tuesday. That is the diversity in the conference. I hope you like this one, because we want to share what we are doing for the diversity of the project and what we can do for the platform. So I wish you enjoy the conference, the span of last year in Tirana. If you see what I have, that is hosting us. What you have here, this is the first institute of technology founded in Hambayan. It was founded in 1928 by the institute. And... We want to make it more complicated. Maybe it's the lack of coffee in the morning. We have to see the official body of the information that is taking care of the members, that can join the main contact between the community. Remember, we also decided to be here to welcome people and to share our foundation. So again, we are here free to ask you at the conference, but let's say... The foundation can be about the marketing, the technology, infrastructure, localization. Everything that can be important for the life of our project, but also our product. Because for example, with the icon and the design theme, we can consider our software. So it's on. Have you been here? Have you been seen here? That's it. I want to ask you a question. Is it just a confidence and asking questions? Do you guys learn how to answer? Just a little bit. I have time here to answer. And it is really interesting to call you. To be and to discover new faces also that are only made by me. So I'm really happy and thanks a lot for making this all possible. Here in Tirana, see all the friends that make this very new part of EDF to become a reality. And thanks for the start of the organization of the Tirana. People come, it's a very nice place and we are very happy to be here. Yeah, it's very good and proud to be here. People come with you. And the opening day of the conference always is a special day here, because I think we can enjoy it together. So what's on my mind is to come here, especially the organization to make it possible, which I was very pleasant to enjoy the conference, meeting friends in a good time, having it proud to be here. Thank you very much. In discussions with my aim to see and I want to change things, logistical point of view is not the square or the order. That is the most difficult infrastructure for you to talk about where we store our stuff in the cloud. It's not about when I'm here. Trying to see the Tirana, although a huge network resource, 8% of the municipality is running an open source. Platforms, the next cloud, Google, and all that really nice stuff. The platform in Russia is about changing the environment of our workers and our staff. Who wants change? Everybody raise their hands. I want change now. We don't want to change, but I want to change us. If there's a change, that's something that makes me think. Unless there's no two. When it involves you changing the environment. So I see this a lot as an exercise of changing the environment and changing the way we're doing it. I'm very excited to be leading this municipality to go on the source. And I think it's about time to involve others. Because, as I said, I hope it means a lot of things. But a lot of things need to be spread. And I know people from all those schools, which is communities that we sort of manage, and we send them here. So maybe we should be able to include schools to hold this initiative. And one of the biggest things that we are trying to do at the pier, which was the former mausoleum of Anterozha, was never used as a mausoleum, but okay. But it would still be a role in the community if we found out that we do see that beautiful space in the heart of the city, which is the most precious witness in Iran. We have to have a center to be doing more of this. So basically, upscaling what we're doing here in Argentina is a central location. And folks mostly in the younger generation which we're trying to target in the age of 10 and 18 when it comes to the program, when it comes to the virtual reality of the reality of official intelligence, robotics, informatics in general. So I really hope that you will become a future partner of this space. And of course we don't want to exclude anyone, but we want to make sure that all sorts of technology also has the space of a thing. And the thing, preparing as a generation to move on, our mission is not to remain in a country that stole shoes and shirts for the rest of our generation. We need to be able to ask. I think the advantage of being disadvantaged is that we can live for it. Instead of working all the years of technology for the 80s and 90s and 2000s, okay or not, we can live for it to what is now the latest trend in open source and technology. So I look very forward to get some recognition for some amazing platforms. And I think a lot of that has become an amazing contribution for the city. But I really hope that what we will do is some tools that we can also use for the city. Other than that, I need to go out and about. It's an exciting place. It's not the most beautiful or the most modern, but it's not the most exciting in the city you've ever seen. I know it's my job to keep hiding everything of my city. It reminds me of the job. I'm going to be on the Camel job in the desert this summer. And one of them has a camera. And he tells his friends, this is the best camera ever. It's so special with your camera. My camera is so cool. It will walk for 100 miles without taking the rest. It's practically impossible. Not only that, it can probably go for one month without doing any work. One month. Of course, in the city, not one month. This is simple. How much for your camera? Because it's like my shop. Any summer camera, just like that. Every deer thing has a price. So tell me how much does it cost. So he gives him the super amount for the money for the price today. He buys the camera. And then after a month, he takes another Oasis in the desert. And the guy who bought the camera is furious. He says to the other guys, you are such a cheater. What do you mean? I cannot believe you sold me this camera for such a high price. So what's wrong with your camera? You know, it drinks and it's like a bin. It's long and it's empty.  And the guy says, never see that on your camera. Because you will never be able to sell it. I have a great time with my office. Maybe you can register me in another session. For some of you who see me in Vienna, who see some of our stuff. I'd be very happy to talk to you about something. Maybe something to improve. But this will be about you. Have a great conference. Have a great day. Have a great day. Have a great day. Have a great day. Have a great day.
