Hello, hello, everyone. Welcome to today's video, which is a very, very special video. My name is Laura, and this is my channel, Laura's Little Library. And today's video is special because today is my birthday. Today's 10th, it is 22 years old. Woohoo! Cue the Taylor Swift. As you can probably tell from the title, I will be building a TBR cart. Let's play right here. Oh boy. A-ta-da! I was wonderfully gifted from my parents. This white TBR cart, and I am super excited. I already know how I'm going to organize it. So with the help of my wonderful husband, Brennan, we are going to put this together, drink a cocktail of his creation for my birthday and listen to some awesome music. So that is pretty much going to be today's video because, yeah, and I might add a little bit of extra bookshelf organization in there as well. Now that I will have more space on my shelves. So, yeah, let's go. Let's do this. Put this together because I'm not the most handy. It was very, very simple, very, very easy to put together. Maybe you could or could not have guessed from my overview of it. But I'm going to sort this. So I've got my little bibliophile. This had been on my bookshelf, but it doesn't really, because I'm not the most seen thing on my bookshelf. So I'm excited to put it here and to maybe hopefully get some more little magnet book themed things to put on other levels. But so this top level here is kind of my more immediate TBR, my monthly TBR, as well as any library books or books that I'm borrowing from friends. So, for example, Silver Spoon, I'm borrowing from a friend. So it goes up here. And then these are some other books I'm hoping to read this month as well as another book. And my current read is here. I do have some books hidden behind here for my secret TBR coming up, although you probably could have figured it out based on my shelves and everything. So maybe or maybe not. That's one thing I do love about this is that it's so deep that it can have it can have two layers of books on here, or I can turn them to the side. But yeah, it fits a lot of books on here and it's got wheels. And then this second row here is going to be a little bit more of a long term TBR. So I'm thinking this is going to be my seasonal TBR. So if this is the month, this is like the season spring right now. It's spring plus a few in previous TBRs that I hadn't got to, I believe in April. So then when I do my summer TBR, kind of at the end of May, I will switch out these books. These ones will probably be put in a monthly TBR and then I'll put my summer TBR here. And then at the bottom at the moment, I just have three books of my friends that I finished that I need to give back. But I'm thinking this is where all of my HOLD books are going to go. So the books that I have acquired, if I don't immediately put them on a TBR. Or I guess whether or not I put them on a TBR, they're going to go down here just so that I know that when this starts to get full, I can film another HOLD video, which is really exciting. So this is going to be very helpful and I'm really excited and it looks so nice. I love that it's white because it's bright and I can decorate it. Oh, to get seasonal ones, too, like a Halloween. But yeah, so because Corner Library has now grown and it really helps the shelf behind me look significantly less cluttered. Like, oh my goodness, it is so much less cluttered. So yeah, I cannot wait. I am just super happy because the shelf here has both books that I have read and books that I have not read. I just I don't quite always see what I have on my shelf because it's so cluttered and then not all of it is even TBR books. So I'm just really excited to go to my cart and find my next read.  But I can't force myself to stick to it too strictly. So what I'm hoping this will help me with is if I put my books on my TBR here and I can come here and I can select whichever one I feel like reading. So I don't have to I don't feel like I have to read them in a certain order, like read this one, then read this one, then read this one, unless it's a series. But I can just go here and see whatever strikes my fancy. And yeah, I am so excited. I don't quite actually know where this is going to live. I think they honestly might put it right there up against the wall and just move the ottoman, but we will we'll see. I'll probably put it there. But yeah, I'm so excited. Thank you all so much for watching. I know it was a bit of a shorter video, just kind of a fun little thing. Well, it was fun for me. I hope it was fun for you. But if you like this video, give it a thumbs up. Otherwise, feel free to subscribe. I make videos on Sundays and Wednesdays. Hit the bell to be notified when I post in the mornings, hopefully. Otherwise, I also have a bunch of bookish social media linked down below. Please feel free to leave a comment if you have anything to say or if you want to talk books or if you also have a TBR card, how you found it helpful or not. But yeah, that's everything I have to say. So until I see you all in the next video, I wish you happy reading.

The latest one we have right now is from Circuit Dojo and it's a job listing for a Sheet Metal Enclosure CAD work, which sounds really fun. So check that out, that's the Help Wanted and it's free to create a profile, whether you're a maker or an employer, or someone that wants somebody to build you something. It's all good there. Newsletters, once a week there's a newsletter that's called the new, new, new, new newsletter. You can check that one out at adafruit.com slash newsletter and that one's focused on the products. They happen once a week. We'll hear tonight some new products for sure. And then for everyday stuff, adafruitdaily.com is where we wanna check it out. You see all the different tiers that are, tiers, categories that are available, such as Python on hardware, IoT monthly, 3D printing, biohacker, maker business. How's that? I think we're good. So that's the housekeeping. We're back here. Thanks for hanging in there. All right, you're good. Let's go ahead and jump into this week's project. All right, this week we're gonna kinda quickly look at what's cooking right now. What's in moderation mode is this week's project. It's the Funhouse Fumix Tractor. This is a collab project with Liz Clark. Everybody say, hey, it's Liz. This is her idea, her code, and what we did was made a 3D printed enclosure for all of the different parts. It's a really fun DIY Fumix Tractor that can connect over the wifi so you can log sensor data. It's a very cool one. We're hoping to have this released sometime this week. Give us a little bit of time to get it moderated and reviewed by the higher ups. Excellent. So yeah, we got it here. And one of the things I wanted to kinda highlight and talk about was some of the techniques to make this grill. So I didn't actually draw this mesh here. I came up with, I didn't come up with this method, but there's a really cool method you can use in your slicer to create mesh geometry so you don't have to draw it in your CAD software. And is my audio bad again? No, no, no, no. I'm laughing at the jokes. No, laughing at Liz's jokes. I think there will be a fan of this one. You guys will be a fan of this one. Yeah, it's a bit fantastic. So yeah, I wanted to share how you can create, some of the techniques you can use to create some mesh geometry for creating something like a fan grill or really anything that needs a type of patterns. Take a look at the iPhone case. This is this week's kind of theme is patterns and how to generate them manually or automatically. So let's jump into what we got. So, sit there. Cue the lawnmowers. Yeah, right. So the first thing I wanted to talk about is your slicing software. In this case, I'm using Cura, which is a free piece of software. It's open source, you can download it and it has a lot of different profiles. One of the cool things you can do with Cura, so you can turn off the solid top and bottom layers. So when you bring in the STL for the, you'll notice that there's actually no geometry here other than those mounting holes. When you turn off your top and bottom layers in your slicer, what will show through is just the infill. What's cool about this is you have control over the infill pattern and more importantly, the infill density. So you can play around with these different patterns to get different, well, patterns and shapes. So here we can look at some more triangles with an infill percentage of 15. They have some other ones like the trihexagon and there's even ways to create custom patterns. But they have a nice list of them. One of the ones I really, really like is gyroid. So gyroid is this volumetric thing, the more kind of height you have, the more 3D-ness and more depth it has. It's this really kind of organic looking pattern. So I tend to use it a lot. One of the things to look out for though when you're playing around with the infill is you wanna make sure that your infill density isn't too low. In this case here, I dropped it down to eight and you can see the mounting holes aren't, they don't have enough kind of support going on. So you just wanna make sure that whatever mounting holes you have and whatever internal geometry you need to kind of take a look and consider is it strong enough? In this case, an infill density of 10 worked out really well. But really the trick here is to literally just set your top and bottom layers to zero. That way you can just show the infill. We've, maybe you've heard about this now but this is a really good way to create, you know, a type of grill. In this case it worked out really well for this project because I didn't wanna spend a lot of time drawing, you know, all of the cutouts because I have spent time doing that for various other projects. But it's nice to know, this is a little kind of a technique to put in your back pocket and remember it, bring it out some time. So with that, that's one way to do it in your slicer. But if you're looking for a more brain fart, if you're looking for a more generative way to do it, let me show you this new plugin, an update to a plugin, Infusion 360. So this is called the Vernoi Sketch Generator and this allows you to generate different types of patterns and there's some built-in shapes like hexagon, stars. You can change the cell count and do different little things. So this is an add-on, you can grab this from the Autodesk App Store, it's a free add-on. You can download this and install it. It is installed through these scripts in add-ons, window inside of Fusion 360. So to bring it up, you can use the, you can type in scripts in your design shortcuts. This is what the window looks like. There's already some pre-installed ones, but once you run through the installer, it'll show up in the add-ons tab. It's called Vernoi and you can run it and to install it. Then to use it, it gets added to your create dropdown or you can just search for it in your design shortcuts by typing in Vernoi and it shows up. So here in this window, you kind of need to select a profile or a sketch. In this case, I got this kind of circular sketch with some mounting holes and what I wanna show is like, you wanna be aware of where your sketch is relative to your grid. In this case, I have it in the center and when you bring it up, you wanna click the use profile button and then you can hit the Vernoi editor button. This will bring up the window and right away, here's kind of the thing to know about. Notice that there's nothing showing up. That's because my sketch is in the center origin. So even though there's nothing showing, watch what happens when I publish to Fusion, you'll notice that the shapes do get added but they're kind of up here away from the thing that I selected. The reason being is because the plugin is looking for a sketch with positive coordinates. What I mean by if you go into the sketch, take a look at the numbers. You'll notice that there's four quadrants. Everything that's to the top right is positive value. So anything in the lower left are negative values. For whatever reason, the plugin is looking for a sketch that has positive coordinates. So what I've done is I just used some sketch dimensions to offset it away from the center origin. So running through the plugin again, you can select your profile. Make sure you use profile size and now in the Vernoi sketch editor, you'll see all the cells and everything shows up in the preview. Excellent, so now you can play around with the shell count and a little slider.  That's super cool. There's some other things like the scaling of the shell. And then you have some options that you can export as an SVG. That's really great if you wanna use a vinyl cutter or a laser thingy and a CNC. And it gets applied to your sketch. Another thing I found here is like, notice how it gets kind of placed right on top of my mounting holes. You just wanna be strategic when you're extruding and you're selecting those profiles and make sure they're not being intersected with your holes. So what I found is even better is to just project your geometry in a standalone sketch and then use that projected sketch to apply the Vernoi pattern. That way it's not messing with your core mounting holes. I'm a fan of kind of keeping elements separate in your sketches, as opposed to like putting everything in one giant sketch. So really cool. I haven't played with the Vernoi sketch in a while and Pedro shouted to you because you used it in the next week's project and it got an update. So I figured I'd share with you folks some of the fun things and maybe not so fun things. It's kind of buggy, right? So no shade here to the programmer but it's a really fun add-on to play with Infusion 360. It's free to do so, so we might as well play with it, right? Yeah, this is a huge update to what it's coming from before there was no UI for this. It was just numbers. You had to remember what your numbers were when you applied it because that's the only way you would see it. This is a nice visual. I don't know if you have it here. The way that it animates, when you're adding all of the extra, like the padding or the cells or the clipping on the inside or outside, you can see that took a little bit of this amount of work. Just be careful. It could be a little buggy, but I'm sure there's some like OS, like APIs that might mess with it. But it's a free thing and you can use the link in the description. It is a plugin that we were missing, I think sometime in December or January and they stopped supporting that version for whatever like APIs that changed inside of Fusion. So we're very happy to see it come back with such an enormous update. For sure. All those visuals did a really good job of creating all these patterns here. This is actually created with the older version of that plugin or add-in, as Fusion likes to call it, the add-ins. And then I used it on the bottom here. This is the star pattern, but I'm just gonna refer this as the aid fruit pattern. It just has an extra leg there, but kind of looks like the aid fruit logo. Yeah, very cool. So I guess we're into what are you prototyping now? What are you prototyping? So last week we showed off Dylan Harada's awesome Jeopardy game. We were showing how we were wiring up all of the components to do the testing. And here is the case that we came up with for enclosing the circuit playground, blue fruit and a stemma speaker. The circuit playground's in there? There's no way. This is too small for a circuit playground. So this is of course all snap fit together and twisty, what do we call it?  So there's an arcade button on the top. Let me go reverse or go back. The way that works is you start it off like that so you can have your contestants or players. You can do it, I think up to four. We only have three here. I'll take the purple. And you'll do your Jeopardy question or whatever. I forget how the game goes. I thought this was, I had the game wrong. I thought it was not Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune, yeah, until my wife was like, no, that's the wrong thing. That's the wrong game. The controller or whatever is like hosting. Start it off, have it ready to go, and let's try to hit this all at the same time. It'll grab. On one. It'll display what color gets hit first. So I'll snap this. All right, ready on one, three, two, one. Ah, of course you did. It's purple, I won. It looks green here in the overhead, sorry. But that's just the color. So you hit the arcade button once to clear and then again to enable the player's contestants to go again. So let me do it. Ready and go. Too slow. Clear it, start again, just hit green just so you can see all of the different colors. All in circuit, Python, so super easy to add more players or to change the colors if you want to use different filament for whatever favorite color in your family. Looks better. Pick those and restart it that way. All right, restart, armed, red. All right, restart, armed, green. So cool, really awesome to have Neopixels built in the circuit playground. Because hey, that's how we're able to do this for you to have to wire up any of the pixels. So super modular, everything screws on tight like that. And by modularity, I mean like everything can come apart. Nothing is soldered together in terms of the jumpers or the button. Take a look at some of the fun techniques you can do to make it modular for the circuit playground because you got these really big touch pads on the circuit playground. So how did you make it so it's modular with these touch pads? The way that I made this have the ability to just take these jumpers off as I soldered on some short headers onto each of the pads. So all of these can be taken off and you can swipe these around, just plug them back in like that.  And that way you can just plug them play. Exactly. They're connections. Yeah, same thing with the bottom here, the way that the stem of speaker is connected. This can completely all be disconnected as well. Yeah. Not just the little, the JST connection there. That's great. The jumpers that it's plugged into same way. Everything is a plug. It's so good. You can all disconnect it that way. So pull that was built in because it is a little tricky to set the headers up that way you get to have some pretty good dexterity to solder those on there. And you got to like hold it in the air to solder that and have it be nice and stable too. Cause you can kind of see this one is folded over a little bit. Yeah. Not going to pop off. There's a ton of solder on there. But a little tricky to do, but you can do it and you can just solder it on there. Yeah. Straight on to it if you want. Or alligator clips. If you want something module you're just prototyping. No, no, no. If you're just prototyping and you want to do something that's scaled you can use alligator clips for sure. And that's what the circuit playground is built in to do. And then of course the grill that we were talking about with the vernoid generator just pops in like that. It's not really needed, but you can have some nice design on the bottom there. Shout out to the Stema speaker. It's a really great accessory for the circuit playground. It really gives you that amplifier that you need to get some nice sound effects out of your circuit playground projects. So the Stema speaker, it's a great on-on and it has that JST port. So yeah, you can plug it in or you can use the pads on the Stema speaker. And the cool thing about this that Dylan did was enable the slide switch that will on and off switch here. So when you switch it towards the Bluetooth icon here it will enable iOS or any Bluetooth compatible device to have this spit out. Whatever key. Spit out. So if you are playing, say the Jeopardy version, the web version on your computer, you can have these set up as different keys to. For sure, yeah. So you can have this connected wirelessly to a computer or something else that accepts USB-H&D, maybe the next box or something, I don't know. Yeah, maybe we've had this ability to have the BLE turn on and off with the switch on other projects. I just don't know which ones but it was super handy for this one because when we were testing this out I was sending key commands to the lock screen on my phone and I almost locked myself out of my phone because of that. So, what is it, like big ups, hugs to Dylan for enabling that. I don't know what other projects we've done that in but she was able to enable that feature to easily switch on and off the Bluetooth by just flipping the switch on that. Very, very handy. Very fun too, I really like this game. Yeah, super cool build. We will release the guide for this next week. Next week! But yeah, of course, my son is loving this in terms of having to play Gloves Jeopardy. So, yeah man, it was really cool for having that set up. Buttons and lights, sound effects, you can't go wrong with that. And of course, my favorite part about it is just how modular it is. Yeah man, good job on that. And all the fun techniques here. Yeah, we'll take a look at the CAD and the way everything's set up next week. For sure. All right, moving on to, what's next on the list? Well, what's next on the list is we got some more prototyping stuff. We got keycaps, tons and tons of keycaps, right? All right, we got lots of keycaps, lots and lots of keycaps. So last week I showed a little bit about milling keycaps. This week I wanted to take all the knowledge that I learned and put together a layer by layer on setting up the toolpads. So in Fusion 360 I set up some toolpads on milling this out. So kind of start off with doing a facing operation which gets your material, your stock to level out to be the desired thickness that you want for your shapes. So I walked through that and then I also walked through using the adaptive clearing which I'm fairly new to. And I was able to specify geometry on the inside of the keycap. So I walked through how you can use the machining boundary to just focus on the geometry that you want to adaptively clear out. And then from there I look at using the 2D contour which is just a simple way to create a 2D outline. So I run through that one. And then one of the last things is using a 2D pocket to create the kind of cavity, the little cross cavity for these keycaps really. So we walked through all that and I really break down all of the reasons why I'm using these toolpads. So check it out. If you're getting started with CNC milling I might learn a thing or two on how to use the manufacturing workspace in Fusion 360. Cool. And then for extra stuff I did a little video on milling it. So here is the facing operation. And one of the things I learned here is that you can get rid of some of these artifacts by using a tighter step over. So it was one of the things I walked through as well when I'm setting up the face. And one of the things I learned here, using different materials, this walnut, it almost reminds you of like using PLA versus using a PETG or something where you want to be aware of your materials. I found walnut is really fibrous so it kind of has a lot of hairs and stuff going on. And I figured, well, that's because my tool isn't sharp. It's not a new tool, right? Surely that's what the reason. But when I did a second batch I used cherry wood and I noticed that it was way cleaner. So just one of the things I learned is like people that work with wood, they know this and this is one of the ways I learned is to just actually use the material when you're milling it. Hey, look at that. Walnut is a little bit more fibrous. Therefore, it requires a little bit more of a cleanup. So that's something to be aware of but I really like the look of walnut and it feels really nice too. So yeah. So by cleanup do you mean like using a deburring tool? You could use a deburring tool but I just straight up used sandpaper and sanded it all down. And yeah, here, you can use alcohol if you're using tape and that's why these bits are alcohol but I don't find that it affected it or anything, the alcohol. But yeah, just a couple of minutes on sanding each little piece here and you get these really, really nice finishes. So, man, this is really nice to have the material here. And I just wanted to show a close-up comparing the two. You can see here the fibrousness that you were chatting about the fibrousness, this. Get closer. There you go. So yeah, the kind of more dull looking one is walnut and then this one here is the cherry wood. Color is a little bit different here on the overhead so you're not gonna get an exact shade of color but so this is the walnut. That's the walnut. So you have this nice little texture going on here and it looks like if it was printed I'd be like, oh my God, it's under extruded or here's the layer lines but if you want that textured look on there and that dullness. And of course you can change the color of this by adding the, what did they suggest last time? Yeah, so the oil, there's different oils and stuff. So that's my next thing is to try out different oils and different finishes. Yeah, that's my next thing to do. This time around I really just wanted to get the workflow down for like getting the tolerances right. That's why I made several batches of them so that I can fine tune how do I switch between fusion and the Bantam Silver software so that I can quickly iterate on the tolerances because this whole batch, all of these keys here, they actually fall right out. It's not tight enough. Okay. Yeah, so I had to make it. So the first time around it was too tight then it was too loose. Get in the middle, Goldilocks. So what I'm showing here is just to show that the texture here didn't affect the stem. Correct. Like the stability of it, like, you know, there's no, like it's not strong this way. Yeah, exactly. They're super strong. So the gaps that you're seeing here doesn't affect the structural integrity of it. And then, you know, depending on the type of wood, you're gonna get different grains. This is a good look at like the different lovely patterns. Again, the theme this show is patterns. Look at these lovely patterns. That one, my favorite right there. These are all cherry. And there you go. Now, you know what? Now they're too freaking tight, right? They're too freaking tight. Oh, yeah. I'm just kidding. They're fine. One of them was like really tight. I was like, what the heck, man? First it's too loose, now it's too tight. Here's that older design where it hasn't broken yet. Cherry. And here's the kind of newer design. Is that one of the characteristics of the cherry? It's supposed to be more harder? I guess so. The toughest? I don't know what you're talking about. You know what? This is the wrong key. It's this one that has the really tight ones. Sorry. Did I mention I, there we go. It ends up coming off. I don't think the whisk works with these odd shapes. So these are the reds. So that's the little look at milling. The next thing I'd like to do is a two part where I flip the part to do more of your traditional style key cap like these right here. I'd like to do this out of wood and I need to learn how to do a jig so that when I flip the part up ways, it's like perfectly spaced and centered and secured to whatever the jig is. That's the thing that I'd like to do sometime in the future. And if you guys have seen the latest, I think it was last week's Desk of Lady Ada, she was working on some resin casting molds that we will be stocking soon. So of course you're looking at getting back into the resin printing so we can make some more custom key caps like we did. Yeah, maybe you can see and see some custom molds or something. I'd like to make this out of wood. I've seen all the different colors and variants of the paw, but I haven't seen a wooden paw yet. Yeah, I'm gonna resin print the material that this is in like a, what is it, the... Yeah, the silicone type stuff. Toe beams. Yeah, it'd be nice and cool. Some more cool looking back at some old techniques. Excellent. Oh, and Vince is saying that alternating between the different wood key caps would be cool. So I have like one cherry, one walnut. Yeah, alternating walnut and cherry. Mm, lemon. Lemon flavor. Susan is saying that doing the two-sided milling is where she lost access to the milling at the workshop. We've plenty of time for learning curve on that one. Oh yeah, Yanni is suggesting the resin on the wooden key caps. Yeah, cool. Yeah. Yeah, I think Lamar was experimenting with like glitter and all these different things that you usually put into the... Yeah, casing some ICs or something. Or maybe doing that, the seafoam thing with the hairdryer. Make it look like it's a beach foamy. Yeah, and the seafoam. It's cool. Lots of cool little tricks you can do there. All right. So that's a little bit of the layer-by-layer and I guess we kind of blended layer-by-layers and chop-talks all in this kind of fun thing. Oh, that's good. What else is in the chop-talk? So you're checking out the notes here. I was going to share some links to some other reading material for infill patterns and stuff. So let me pull this up real quick. If you are a fan of the Prusa printers and using the Prusa slicer, there's a nice blog post or a bit of a learn guide on how you can look at different infill patterns and they just kind of walk through the different patterns and stuff. And yeah, check that out. Just a little bit more reading material really into the infill stuff. I miss the Honeycomb infill. I do too. The Honeycomb infill is something like... I don't know why Cura doesn't have one, but Slicer from Prusa does. So there you go.  So check that out. I got one more link. These are in the description of this video, by the way, if you're on YouTube. I got one more link and this is a bit of a thingiverse thing. Do you remember the customizer? If you don't remember the customizer, it's a way to use the OpenSCAD language programming language to programmatically design and model 3D parts. So this one is a customizable fan grill cover. And if our internet would behave, here we go. So there's even some more techniques. Different approach is to have some parametric values here in sliders that you can play around within the customizer. Now I don't know if customizer works these days. They did in the past. So just the warning out there, maybe you can use the OpenSCAD download here and use OpenSCAD the program on your desktop, as opposed to using the customizer that may or may not work in Thingiverse. Is that, is that okay? Yeah. Just grabbing the links for all this. Thanks. Do you want, yeah, they should be in the shop talk, scroll down. Oh no, I already got that. Wonderful. Boiler plate stuff. Boiler plate stuff. All right, hold that. I am ready to do community mates. All right, let's run the townlabs Tuesday video then. Every Tuesday we 3D print and time lapse it. Something, a design from the community this week. It's a mini vice by handyman. Very fitting with all of the wood and CNC talk. This is one of the things you wanted to have printed out. So you can have a nice little mini vice to hold things while you're cutting. Yeah, this was a suggestion by Liz, by the way. She printed one out and it was like, hey, you should take a look at this. This is very, very nice. Mini vice.  Oops, this is very nice. So yeah, you have this nice little screw-in feature and these nice like infill type textures on it to grip onto the wood. As you can see here. What's that infill pattern, man? Yeah, all right. You got like this grip going on here on both sides. It's like that side of it. So you can see the texture that they have on there. Yeah, this is a bit of an emboss and then this is a D-boss. So they kind of clench together, yeah. Very cool. Great design. Let's take a look at it on the Kultz 3D website. Oh boy, I had it and then... During the show, I noticed that there's always a lag in the Google Docs which is very bizarre. So the sliding mechanism is a print in place part. So this part and this prints together. Then it just slides across like that. That's right. You got mounting holes over there. So if you want to secure it to your work surface, your spoiler board, you can do so with those mounting holes. Yeah, and this wasn't... This attached part wasn't working until now which is super cool. I didn't realize that you can just go, you know. Oh, screw it in and out. Yeah, that's what I was going to say, yeah. So it would kind of bring it out too. Yeah, so this piece prints separate. All right. And a nice little way to have a twisty part on there. And here's the part that I was saying that prints in place and just slides across. Nice rails. Nice rails. Now, one note about materials. This is beautiful filament but not necessarily the most strongest filament. This is our second print. The first one I actually used to secure my shop vac hose, I broke it. Yeah, so it's a combination of the silky stuff. The silky PLA filament is not the strongest and I used a pretty low infill on this. There you go. And you could increase the shell count as well. Yep. So multiply all those things together. I would recommend PETG. Maybe try some PETG. That is what is the thing. It's just color choices are limited with PETG sometimes. So great choice though on the colors, just be careful on, you know, using material, that's all. All right, so this is... Sure. Fast. Right, yeah. And when your time lapse and you kind of get some under extrusion a little bit every now and then. So shout out to Handyman for posting this design. It is a free download. You can check it out. Beautiful photo. I like the color scheme. Very, very nice. Orange and this kind of teal green. But yeah, shout out to Handyman. Is that Handyman? I hope it's Handyman, is it? Yes, Handyman with a three. Excellent. So that's where you can get the very cool mini vise. And then if you head over to the Discord, Mr. Certainly, Bruce is posting his favorite vices. I'll use the Dremel. Yes, yes, excellent. I will check these out. Yeah. And Liz is saying it's good for the small woodworking project. Yes, yes. Yeah. And she's for sanding weird angles. Yeah, it's a good use case of it. Yeah, I think it works good for things like the shop hose. Like if you have to say you want to sand something, you just want to prop up your hose for your shop vac. That's what I used it for. I just propped it up at a weird angle and sanded it away. And there you go. Like if you're cutting a PCB FR-4, that's some nasty fiberglass.  Oh, that's a great vise there. Yeah, check out the link that Bruce posted in the Discord. It is the rotary multi-tool vise. It looks like it hooks on to the side of your workbench too. Let's try this out. Which one is this too? The second link. The second link, OK. I can't get the link. This is a load. That's fine. We have it here. OK, close to there. I don't know. I wasn't clicking for some weird reason. All right, well, super cool. Thanks, Bruce, for the recommendation. Nice. Are we missing one of those shout-top things? The USB-C cable with switch? Or is that from a couple weeks ago? I don't have it set up. This is just a cable with a switch. We do have something. What the heck was that? Yo-each. I guess the rest of the community makes, then, shall we? All right, let's finish up the rest of the community makes this week. We got it. We really have a really cool one. We have a really cool one from Stewart on his awesome multi-pass remix. This thing is so cool. I want to pull up a tweet from him. Because right now I have no visuals, right? How am I going to? Oh, boy, I'm just going to have to show the GitHub. So shout-out to Stewart Riggs for posting up his files and a little bit of documentation and code on the multi-pass remix that he put together. So this is for holding your vaccination card. Yes. If you want to get all fancy on the little holder for it, he has all these awesome LEDs on it. And I think he even saw a version that had an E-ink display. Yeah, it's a good mix of 3D printing and laser cut acrylic as well. There's a lot of mix in there, which is really cool. So shout-out to Stewart for his make. I'd share the tweet, but I will slow down my computer if I roll it up. So here's what the thing now. OK, so I do want to shout-out level 2.3 OK, so let me step back a little bit. The vaccine multi-pass thing was originally uploaded by level 2.3, Scotland. It's a remix, and it was on Thingiverse. Some things happen. It's no longer in Thingiverse, but it is on Prusa Pruner's website. So we went ahead and updated the Timelapse video link. And I guess we're talking about a year, so you can check out the remixed version of the multi-pass holder. The original multi-pass holder is still in Thingiverse, but this is a remix. And now there's a remix of a remix of a remix. That's how things work. But we didn't design this, I'm just saying. Like, Scotland level 2.3 is the remixer of this one. So check it out. If you're looking for the STLs and you're like, where did it go? Things happen with Thingiverse, but it's here on Prusa Pruner's site. So you can check it out. I just wanted to throw it out there. By things happen, I want to clarify that. Sometimes when we post project STLs on Thingiverse, I think it's ghosted from our profile. You can only get to it by directly linking to it, which would be the Learn Guy. The Thingiverse site has some things going on. So as a backup, it's really nice to have a site like Prusa Pruner's, Colt's 3D, those two. My mini-factory, I think. Shout out to Stewart again and Level 2.3 for the remix. All right. We got some other community makes this week. Here we go. This next one here is the retro cases for the pie portals. Sweet. So this was posted out by Tolkien fan. It says, great design, easy to print and assemble, just a bit too large for my mono price mini-select. I had to use the Ender 3. Thanks, Adafruit. You're very welcome. Awesome. It's really good to see. And this looks like it's the pie portal quotes. Nice. Very, very nice. Gratitude is the art of seeing a gift in everything. Very cool case. If you guys have a pie portal and you want it to look like that, check out the retro cases that we have. Very fun. It's not fit, no supports. OK, next up, this is a pie badge thermal camera by GoodyEater. Posted this up. Thanks, Adafruit and the Ries Brothers for a fun project. Printed on a Cetus 3D. Excellent. So if you're looking to make, if you'd like to make a thermal camera, you can make one with a pie badge in an MLX, whatever, whatever. MLX 8833? That sounds right. Or is it the AMG 8833? I don't know. I think it's the AMG. That's why there's one good. Excellent. Thank you, Goodyear, for posting your make. And we're wrapping up here with two more. This one is a remix of not that. Oh, boy. Links are hard to copy. It really is laggy. It's funny how laggy it is in Google Docs. All right, shout out to MJG157 for posting up their remix of our Keyblade prop. This didn't fit on small printers, so they went ahead and split it up to fit the smaller printers. So this will fit the baby printers, which is great. I really like it when folks in the community make it upon themselves to make this thing work. So that's really cool to see. So shout out. All right, and then the last one is a cute one. Here we go. This is a little bit of a planter. Maybe you like plants. It's summertime. Here's a little Boo planter. Fun. Printed on the Cruelty Android 3. It's a really nice one. So shout out to SunCloud for posting their make of this lovely Mario Boo. Did they remix the eyebrows? My eyebrows look a little bit different than your eyebrows. It's like it's more worried. It's a little bit more like it. I kind of like it too. Cool. Great little fun project to print and plant. And it scales up very well. It does. We printed a big one. I put it on my head. Thank you, everybody, for posting your community makes. We really appreciate it. And we hope you're feeling a little bit inspired. A lot of them inspired. It definitely inspires us when we see the remixes of them. So thank you all for tagging. Yeah. I think I do have one last shop talk. I just remembered it. Because I see here that the GitHub parts are GitHub parts. You got some new parts this week. Yes and no. Mainly, I just want to say mainly, I changed the branch from master to main because you should do that. And I did it. It was really simple and easy to do so. So if you have a fork or something like that, you can update your branch so that it's main. Yeah, you can. PT posted a blog post about this. Dylan had a very big hand in switching a lot of things over to main. Yeah. So huge shout outs. Yeah, so I think you're a nice little landslide for everybody else joining in on that. So please, I encourage and implore you. Update or update. Yeah, update your branch. Thank you. All right. Well, that's going to do it for the show. I think we made it. Yay. So if anyone has any last comments, we'll close up the show with reminding you that tonight is a coupon code.  On Ask an Engineer, there's a special coupon code. So we hope you're there and use it. And we're also inspired to come on. Help me out here. We want to see you on the show and tell. So come in. You're invited. It is every Wednesday at 7 30 PM Eastern Time. You can hang out in the Discord chat room and the PT will post up its StreamYard link. And you can join in and share your stuff with the community. How's that? And then tomorrow continues with the live shows with John Park's workshop. Tune in. He's got some updates to some of the keyboard projects that's been going on. And then following, oh, no, Scott's off for two weeks. So we'll see Scott next two weeks. Yeah. Deep dive. Yeah. Click on the graphic at least. Yeah. Yeah. So deep dive, Scott's normally Friday. So catch up on his live streams if you have it. You can always watch a playback on the playlist. Yeah, JP was a host or a guest last week. So definitely watch the replay of that. And then on Sundays, we have a desk lady, Ada, where she does the prototype that she's working on behind the scenes of what's going on at your fruit and some great searches on DigiKey. Some of the components that are used in all the products, how to easily find those. We threw all of the other ones to get the best fit for your project. And then we start the week off again with JP's product pick of the week. Yep, another show that has the coupons in there. I think it's like 50% off only during the show. That's right. And it is played live on the product page. So definitely tune in to that, save a ton on all the new products that come out. For sure. And then we've been watching 3D Hangouts every Wednesday at 11 a.m. Eastern time, normally. All right. And then we hope to see you tonight on Show & Tell. We invite you and we'll be there, I think. Yeah, we'll be there. Cool, well, I think that's gonna be it for this episode. Thank you all for joining. All your maker, good luck on all your maker endeavors. And don't forget to make a great day. See you later tonight. Bye, everybody.


Ok, Kazumato, I find it. Let's learn the brace stroke. For the brace stroke, the first thing is to learn how to kick correctly. So the kicking and brace stroke is simple. Flat from the beginning. And open your toes on the side. Kick on the side and close your toes together flat at the end. So the momentum is like this. And open your toes, kick and close. And kick and close. If you are in the water, it's pretty easy. You are here. Open your toes. Kick on the side, close touch. And kick and close. And kick and close. So we are going to do the arrow position with brace stroke kick. So you cannot breathe. Stretch your hand forward and you just kick until you reach me. Let's go. This is the arrow brace stroke. Step number one. Kick on the brace stroke two times on the arrow position. But after you kick, you can move your hand to breathe. So you are going to be like this. Head down. And one kick, two kick, three kick. Then you can breathe after the third kick. And again. One kick, two kick, three kick. You breathe. One kick, two kick, three kick. You breathe. You keep your hand on the surface. Let's go. Go back slowly. And try to kick more on the side, Kazuma. Your kicking are not exactly perfect. Okay? So you need to keep your hands at risk. Step number two. For the real brace stroke, it's simple. Instead of three kicks, you have only one kick with your two legs together, open and close. When you kick, after you look at the bottom, stretch your hand forward like Superman. So one kick, Superman. You glide. Breathe. Kick and Superman. Breathe. Kick and Superman. Don't forget to stretch your body forward to glide. Okay? Very good, Kazuma Tokun. Fine.


This was never going to be an overnight haul this was not going to be something that you get a new coaching staff in here You get a new front office in here and everything magically changes. You get here. You're new on the job There's a lot of things that going on and you know some of the obstacles that You're trying to work through as you all know We went into last year with the most dead money in the history of NFL $86 million in dead money because the salary cap constraints were so significant You knew that it was going to take a couple of years to even begin to see What Terry font know and Arthur Smith want to build in Atlanta. We have an open-check book the first time We've got more money than we've ever had we do have a lot of cap space and we're excited You know about our plan going in the free agency You get a chance to build the team that you envision patients from the organization the patients from the owner of the patients from the fans Because of that discipline we're able to put ourselves in a little bit better position right now Make a splash in free agency first absolutely. We have to go out and find Good tough competitive football players now. I think it's time for some difference makers Go get a Jesse base go get a guy that can help our football team win, but more importantly Mike We are news we are moving the needle. We haven't done that You now have north of what 65 million how much of a big spender will you be we had a plan from the very beginning And we knew this is gonna be an offseason where we could add some players and yet we still have to have discipline You're always building you want to build a championship roster Not just for one year, but for several years And so you have to stay have some balance have some discipline and make sure you're getting players at the right value Because you're putting together a puzzle. You're not trying to add a few players It's we have a whole team that that we have to put together And so you want to make sure that you're doing the right things and staying within parameters at every spot On day one of NFL free agency. There have been now four Moves, okay that have happened that are being reported that the Falcons are going to make official on Wednesday John who Smith they make a trade for him tight in from New England. This is probably the most exciting Moment of my NFL career 11 touchdowns in his last two seasons in Nashville Nice touchdown field You're not familiar he played for Arthur Smith when he's with the Titans when I figured that this thing would be real and me Me and art would be getting back together, you know, my my my energy just went through the roof It's poetic. Honestly, it is every time I step on that field You're gonna get every ounce of me every passion put the ball in my hands anywhere on the field and I'm just gonna make plays. It's however teams Mike Arifullo are more than capable right now Negotiating with their own Guys including an offensive lineman in Atlanta that was set to play on the fifth year option But Chris Lindstrom just made himself a lot more He grades out as one of the best players in the National Football League is his position The brightest group on a team is the offensive line and to keep one of the guys It's now burgeoning one of the leaders on that team when you start talking about what Chris Lindstrom has been able to do I think he's garnered a lot of respect around the league We do want to prioritize two things we want to prioritize our players and prioritize the front He is now here in the prime of his career Five-year deal a hundred five million dollars resets the guard market for offensive guards But he's the best guard the person he is the way he operates the way he competes on a daily basis Obviously, he's got a lot of physical talent and he's an amazing person And he's the type of guy that we want to build around the start of this free agency period came more in the middle of The defense and from the linebacker position two guys and on Yamada and Ellis that obviously Terry fontano And Ryan Nielsen know quite well from their days in New Orleans. Just the way they play football We talk about versatility. We talk about toughness and we talk about violence and competitiveness They really fit those characteristics. David on Yamada comes over from the Saints defensive tackle Grady gets some help up front and a guy that's really gave us issues over the last few years Runs into his own blocker and then is brought down by on Yamada It's a it's a great opportunity, you know for my old D-line coach who is now the D coordinator over here You know, we're really pumped to uh to get this thing going 23 sacks over his last six seasons Under pressure and he's going down this time. It's David on Yamada I play play my heart out expect great things wins on every down every down in distance Hayden Ellis a linebacker who had seven sacks last year I'm so excited. It's just such a blessing thankful and I'm ready to come and Put on show out here. He just goes out and balls steps up in the pocket and gets sacks Hayden Ellis second and 17 under pressure again and going down has a great year in a contract year Shows his athleticism shows his versatility passionate. I'm just ready to go I'm excited to see, you know, how they want to use me exactly and I'm excited to get to work We'll start with the Taylor-Heineke piece expected to sign with the Atlanta Fox And my family's rent from around here. I'm from around here full circle, you know, this is where it all started Felt a little football here grew up in swanney The Falcons have said they intend for Desmond Ritter to be their starting quarterback He's coming in to be the backup quarterback and but he's a guy that anytime he's gotten an opportunity to play He's gone on and he's done really well, you know Taylor coming in It's a guy that gives you a chance to win. He understands his role Yeah, I plan on just trying to be that veteran presence and I'm going to come in and help him in any way I can Help this team any way I can I've kind of been doing that the last two years in Washington Unfortunately those last two years that the start kind of went down and I go in there and play But hopefully Desmond can stay healthy and I can help him in any way he needs The other thing the Falcons have done today and this is the big splash is Jesse Bates Safety Probably the best free agent safety on the market, right? Yep coming over from Cincinnati. I'm all signed up ready to go Everything we talk about and we talk about it starts with the makeup And we want players that are not only going to be good at their position But they're going to make people around them better and he's done that through his career Jesse Bates brings a degree of credibility in the back end If I'm a safety or a foul quarterback, I know who Jesse Bates is second down Rivers off play action. That one's going to be intercepted picked off by Jesse Bates Very exciting to be here. I think that my role is going to be a leader We got a lot of talent a lot of young people And a lot of great people that care about winning so Like I said, I'm excited to be a part of this. You know someone that's going to be The same guy every day. Like I said, whether it's good or bad It's going to be the same Jesse Bates the third every single day Our goal going into free agency is we want to touch every level and add to every position We want to improve the total team. We're going to continue to dig and find football players. I saw a great opportunity You know for me to come in and Feel like I'm going to be a difference maker on this defense This is the place where I can win. This is the place where I can get coached at a high level and I can get better Um, but also a place that I'll enjoy. I think it's just going to be a great opportunity for me to go out there And play and make some big plays. I really feel like um, you know Just kind of surprised a lot of people this year This seems to be a you know very competitive tough team and won a lot of ball games This is a guy who went in there and says we can do it You know a lot of belief happening internally signing my name upstairs was amazing And I'm just excited for the opportunity and to be able to play with the guys and really See what we can do this season and I think we'll shop to There a car far corner in the end zone Matt Collins are you getting a really competitive corner? Um a guy who likes to You know get his hands on receivers And you know get in the ring game a little bit get my nose bloody energy Each and every day coming out there to work Um And just just work out there showing uh, how bad I wanted deep shot To the end zone for miller and it is come for a touchdown You know just being a veteran leader, you know going out there and giving everything I got Arthur Smith said he wanted a violent d-line, you know, and I could bring a lot of violence That's for sure The falcons doing a lot of A great work this offseason terry fontano had a long conversation with him At the shrine ball about how they are building that team piece by piece the next big piece The number eight overall pick in the draft. What's their strategy going into next month? What it helps when you do a lot of good things in free agency It just helps you to have more discipline and it helps to be really clear And whether you're moving around whether you're moving up or moving down Helps you to have discipline and say let's just continue to improve this team And knowing who they are if they're truly passionate about what they do They want to be the best football player they can be they want to be the best person they can be Regardless of where they are in their life. We believe we have a strong culture and a really good locker room And we want to make sure we add to that


So there's a number of things that can make a pregnant person high risk, so obesity, being over 35, if you have high blood pressure, if you're coming into the pregnancy with other medical problems, diabetes, or substance abuse issues. For your obstetrician, what that means is we need to assess you a little closer and maybe a little bit more frequently. It does not mean that there is no potential for a healthy outcome and delivery with this pregnancy. This is my third baby and I am considered high risk because I'm an older mom. But one of the things my midwife explained to me is that high risk depends on a lot of different factors and age is one of them. Other factors that can make you high risk have to do with your overall health. And because I have been eating well and I've been able to exercise through my pregnancy, I haven't had any of the additional high risk factors. Sometimes when you're over the age of 35, you have a higher risk of developing other medical conditions during pregnancy, like diabetes of pregnancy or hypertension of pregnancy or preeclampsia. I was concerned about being high risk when I decided to get pregnant because of my age. I am 40, but my doctor did let me know that there were different things that I could do to make sure that I had a healthy pregnancy. We follow everybody very closely in pregnancy. We will let you know if there are things that are concerning, if you need extra tests during your pregnancy. Especially later in pregnancy, there's something called a non-stress test where we specifically listen a little bit longer to the baby's heartbeat and measure the fluid around the baby once or twice a week depending upon the medical problem just to make sure everything's going well. We try to work with those moms so that they have the healthiest pregnancy possible looking at what they can do to improve their outcomes and have the healthiest pregnancy possible.


Every day we are reminded to practice OPSEC. From posters in the PUA saying loose tweets sink fleets to PowerPoints before a port visit, commands remind their sailors of the importance of safeguarding ship information. Social media is no exception and has helped the enemy gain information on military forces and even family members. What may seem like an innocent post or tweet might just be the missing puzzle piece that aids the enemy. There are simple steps you and your family could take to protect your information. Change your settings on your social media pages and be aware of what hashtags you use. Practicing good OPSEC helps prevent the compromise of military activities, capabilities, or intentions at every level. For more tips on keeping your social media information secure, visit the Naval Operations security slide share page.


Still in the news, the noble laureate Wale Shoinka has distanced himself from statements making the rounds on social media, suggesting that he supports the agitation for a Yoruba nation. The laureate urged the general public to ignore the utterances of those he described as contemptible interlopers who lack the courage of their conviction and thus take to identity theft for the furtherance of their views. Professor Shoinka says he does not express his opinions on national issues on social media except through print media. Sunday Bohor recently came up with a push for the Yoruba nation.


It is now my great honour to introduce our keynote speaker, the right honourable Helen Clark. Ms. Clark was the Prime Minister of New Zealand for three successive terms, and is the Chair of the Global Commission on Drug Policy. During her time as Prime Minister for New Zealand, she engaged widely in policy development and advocacy across the international, economic, social, environmental and cultural spheres. In April 2009, Helen Clark became administrator of the United Nations Development Program. She was the first woman to lead the organisation and serve two terms there, where she led UNDP to be ranked the most transparent global development organisation. In July 2020, Commissioner Clark was appointed by the Director-General of the World Health Organisation as co-chair of the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response. If our opening press conference is anything to go by, we are in for a treat with Helen's address tonight. Thank you so much. I've greeted the iwi, the tribes, I've greeted the Indigenous language of New Zealand, I've greeted the chiefs, and I've welcomed all of you, talofa lava, malua lalay, whakalofa lahiatu, kiorana, nisambulavanaka, talofa, and warm Pacific greetings to you all. Can I begin by acknowledging the Boon Wurrung and Wau Wurrung peoples as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet today, and by paying my respects to all their elders past and present, and by extending my respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Islander straight peoples here today? Well, I'm here as chair of the Global Commission on Drug Policy, and I bring thanks from our commission to everyone here playing such important roles in harm reduction. And thank you, Naomi, and Harm Reduction International for inviting me to speak. Our commission was set up in 2011, and it's advocated for policies on drugs which are based on research evidence, human rights, and health and well-being. And harm reduction plays an essential role in the approach we advocate for. From the earliest days of harm reduction, people in front-line services understood that the harms caused by drug use could be mitigated without requiring that people stop using. And the aim was to provide whatever levels of support people were willing to accept and to support the agency of individuals. But of course, at the national and international policy levels, things have never been quite so simple. The concept of harm reduction and its interventions has generated debate and tensions from when it was first raised in international drug control fora in the mid-80s. And needless to say, harm reduction has always been a challenge and a very good challenge to the punitive approaches which the International Drug Control Conventions have mandated for so long. That's because to be effective, harm reduction can't and doesn't insist on abstinence-based prevention and therapies. It meets people who use drugs where they are, and so sets out to build trust with populations so often marginalised and stigmatised in our societies. So harm reduction has become a game changer in the provision of support for people who use drugs. But it is really so tragic that more than six decades after that 1961 single convention on narcotic drugs came into being that we're still confronted by damaging international law on drugs and the so many negative impacts and consequences intended or unintended, so called punitive, prohibitionist policies continue to ruin human beings' lives around the world. The prohibitionists, of course, set goals of eliminating or substantially reducing the numbers of people who use drugs and the volume of drugs consumed. Well, against the targets they've set themselves, six decades of this flawed approach have demonstrated its complete failure. For example, all the evidence we have, including from the World Drug Report, is that drug use keeps going up, not down. We see the reports from UNAIDS reporting that the risk of acquiring HIV is 35 times higher among people who inject drugs than among those who don't. We see the new study just out in the Lancet reporting that 15.2% of people who inject drugs are living with HIV and that 38.8% have a current Hep C infection. We see harm reduction internationals, global overview of the death penalty for drug offenses. 35 countries still provide for that and around a dozen still apply a mandatory death penalty for certain so-called drug offending. We've seen in the past 10 years at least 4,000 people executed for drug offenses around the world and we are clear at the Global Commission that the use of the death penalty, while abhorrent in general and in total, with specific respect to drug offending is disproportionate treatment and therefore a breach of international law. We've also seen these punitive drug laws drive over-incarceration, prison overcrowding, penal reform international reported last year, one in every five people in jails around the world is there for drug offenses. And what a relief not to be imprisoning those who use or are in possession of drugs. And then let's consider the particular devastating human impact of the opioid overdose crisis, particularly dire in the United States, Scotland and Canada. In the US, those deaths are constituting around two-thirds of all drug-related deaths, a significant number of which could be prevented with better access to harm reduction services. We've also seen negative consequences of the current prohibitionist approaches leading to more high-risk behavior such as unsafe injecting, deterring people in need of services from seeking them and we see so much resource going into ineffective and punitive responses instead of into health and social programs. And we see so many millions of people around the world with the long-lasting negative consequences of having had a criminal conviction. So bad law policy conventions need to be overturned and for the global commission campaigning against prohibition and also for the legal regulation of drugs is our top priority. It's estimated that rather than a hundred billion US dollars a year is being spent on trying to enforce prohibition. Imagine just having a tiny fraction of that to put into more harm reduction services. And this vast expenditure going on the punitive side, of course, is dragging resources away from what could otherwise be possible for harm reduction. We simply don't have it widely enough available globally at the scale required, for example, to end the AIDS pandemic. Fewer than 2% of people who inject drugs are living in countries with the UN-recommended levels of coverage of needles, syringes, and opioid substitution therapy. And of course, in so many countries still, harm reduction services are virtually non-existent and worse, some countries criminalize possession of syringes as drug paraphernalia, even including those supplied by needle and syringe exchange programs. Let's also be clear that prohibition and criminalization of use and possession have had especially harmful consequences for the most vulnerable members of our societies. That has included many women, indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities, young people, people who were living with HIV and AIDS, members of the rainbow communities, homeless persons, sex workers, among others. The list of human rights violations, linked to enforcement of prohibition, is just so long. And this suffering must serve as a constant reminder of the need to move away from punitive approaches to evidence-based policies and law which respects and upholds human rights. Harm reduction is such a key part of this change and indeed is part of a wider movement for human rights, working with intersectoral human rights movements around the globe. So coming to our challenges then, so often embedded in current laws and in cultural and social norms, not least in stigma against people who use drugs. We see so many policymakers still reluctant to accept that the complete eradication of drugs is both an unnecessary and an impossible goal. They may feel that supporting harm reduction somehow is condoning the use of drugs. The result of thinking like that is that the funding allocated to harm reduction continues to be vastly exceeded by that that goes to law enforcement. And this is a considerable political and practical obstacle to provision of harm reduction services and one which requires a paradigm shift in how drug issues and how people who use drugs are perceived. But of course we must acknowledge that there are very exciting successes in harm reduction and Naomi, your global state of harm reduction 2022 report, points out that we now have 105 countries including supportive references to harm reduction in the national policy documents. We are seeing more countries implementing harm reduction services. I see listed in the 2022 report new needle and syringe programs now available in Burundi, Cote d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Guinea, Seychelles and Uganda. Drug checking, another tool which can minimize harm and prevent deaths, is catching on. And many countries now offer this service to some extent, especially at festivals and clubs but also increasingly at harm reduction centres and needle exchanges. I'm pleased to say that in 2021 New Zealand became the first country in the world to legalize drug checking completely. Now of course further deaths from overdoses could be prevented by more far reaching solutions. Advocates we know to North America have been pushing hard to access safer supply of drugs. This is because overdoses are often caused by a person using a substance or substance they didn't know they were taking, or when they take a different dosage from what they thought they were taking. We all know street drugs don't come with labels or quality control, so knowing what you are taking and being able to dose appropriately would be such a game changer. Obviously we're following with great interest, British Columbia's ambitious pilot aimed at decreasing the number of overdoses and reducing stigma around drug use. Peoples with addictions there who have not been able to stop using after having the services have been able to access a prescribed safer supply of a range of substances since March 2020. And I understand that advocates in Vancouver have also been distributing label packages of heroin, meth and cocaine and they've been doing that to those not eligible for prescription supply. It's all about saving lives and preserving health. Also in British Columbia since this January people found in possession of up to 2.5 grams of some drugs will no longer be criminalized. We've seen New York City implementation of safe consumption rooms saving the lives of hundreds of people since the opening of their monitored drug consumption on sites in November 2021. And a big shout out to the ACT here in Australia. We're just all taking inspiration from the way that ACT is moving. You introduced, I understand, a fixed drug testing site last year. A decision to decriminalize possession of illicit drugs in small quantities taking effect in October this year. And you were ahead of the game in 2020 when you decriminalized for adults possessing or using small amounts of cannabis. So this is really exciting from one across the ditch to see this happening. And also exciting to see that earlier this year based on the success of the Melbourne supervised injection room the Victorian government has introduced legislation to make the medically supervised injecting service ongoing. And just a word on the state of things in New Zealand. Since 2019 the New Zealand police have operated under what I call a partial direction because it could go a little further and be more helpful. But under a partial direction to divert users of drugs to harm reduction services. As a result charges and convictions have come down a number although not as much as was hoped for or would be possible if they dropped the qualification and law that the diversion should be in the public interest. In my view it's always in the public interest. But if you give discretion police will use it unfortunately. In New Zealand Māori are disproportionately impacted by prohibitionist approaches to drugs. Making up 48% of those convicted for drug possession offenses when Māori are 15% of the population and just under 62% of those who are sentenced to prison for these offenses. So this is a very significant issue in our relations between Māori and the state. In the Northland region of New Zealand since 2017 there has been a very good methamphetamine harm reduction initiative Te Ara Oranga. It has very strong police government department and community support. Unfortunately it has not yet had the nationwide roll out which was promised. And my foundation Helen Clark Foundation partnered with New Zealand Drug Foundation last year to reduce a report recommending large upscaling of harm reduction around meth and for the necessary funding to be allocated to that. So we live in hope. Now moving from here as Naomi said we can't ignore a couple of the huge challenges in the world's current poly crisis and the implications for people who use drugs. The war on Ukraine for example. How disruptive can that be for people trying to access harm reduction services? People carry on trying to do their best but an act of conflict so it's even more difficult. And then the pandemic highlighted massive disparities in the delivery of harm reduction services around our world and at its height with the lockdowns directly affected the right to health of millions of people who use drugs. It is so important that harm reduction services are made resilient to adverse events like the old saying the post must always get through so must harm reduction services. Fully funding harm reduction and viral hepatitis treatment is a must and providing support through initiatives like the Global Hepatitis Resource Mobilization Conference taking place at the end of May this year is absolutely crucial. At the Global Commission we will keep on calling for developing national legal frameworks and practices around drugs which are consistent with human right norms. We say there must be universal access to harm reduction services as there must be to control the central medicines for pain relief and palliative care. We say there must be decriminalization of drug use and possession for personal use a move to legal regulation and an end to police violence and harassment. It goes without saying that over incarceration and disproportionate sentencing including the application of the death penalty should cease. We should see inclusion equity and non-discrimination as the fundamental principle of all policies. In our 2018 report titled Regulation the Responsible Control of Drugs we addressed the need to tackle illegal drug markets and the harms that they cause by transitioning gradually towards regulated markets for supply. In practice this can mean countries creating legal markets for lower harm drugs like cannabis as Canada for example has done and it can also mean finding ways to increase access to safer supply of substances such as opioids and stimulants in order to reduce overdoses and tackle addiction as a number of jurisdictions already are. We also recommend explicitly aligning drug policy with implementation of the sustainable development goals. For example the Health SDG number three is about ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all that should encompass health-based approaches to drug policy. And finally we're calling for health system strengthening strategies to explicitly include harm reduction as a pillar and for national responses to problematic drug use to provide at scale services for people who need them so no one is left behind. Just like the suffragettes all those years ago who dared to fight for the right to vote we must fight for the right to health and to harm reduction. Existing legal barriers and political barriers to harm reduction need to be removed everywhere. Now more than ever we need strong political will to address the funding gaps in harm reduction and to reach the UN AIDS 2025 90% target on coverage of safe injecting practices among people who inject drugs. Our political leaders at all levels of government need to stand up for harm reduction and recognise that this is a human rights issue. Ours is a shared mission to make harm reduction services available and accessible to all and uphold the human rights of every human being. Thank you. Thank you very much Commissioner Clark. Now it's worth mentioning if you're from Canberra and you want to hear Helen Clark shout out your jurisdiction again you can get it on the conference app. We've got a WebEx app downloadable look for harm reduction international conference and you'll be able to replay all the plenary speeches throughout the week. We also have two streams all day every day that are being screened. So the delegates who are overseas can join us as well. Now.


Hey, I'll just say for here. So we're gonna talk about hydration Somebody sent you this video because you maybe aren't hydrated well enough when we need to do better Living in Southern California since 2003 Something I saw a big problem with was hydration. People are it's it's a huge problem there It's a problem in Southern California in Nevada, Arizona New Mexico parts of Colorado anywhere where there's kind of a desert area parts of Utah They don't even realize it's a desert in California. They have no idea But it is and so hydration is a huge huge huge thing So I want to kind of give you a picture if you're keto or if you're the low carb or if you're in ketosis You potentially need to hydrate more efficiently more effectively and what do I mean by that? It's not about the water. I got keto in my drink, but it's not about the amount of water you drink It's about getting minerals in your water because keto can is a natural diuretic So therefore if you're already Slightly hydrated or you're more prone towards dehydration you're gonna maybe release some of those minerals when you go pee and You don't want to do that and so I want to give you the the best simple solutions to help improve hydration right off the bat So one of the things I recommend when you wake up, and this is across the board I recommend this when you have a when you get up in the morning have a big glass of water and take a pinch of sea Salt I like I like Celtic sea salt. I like real salt Himalayan is good too It's just a lot more expensive and this is just as good So pinch in the water big glass of water in the morning start your day out with a big glass of water with A pinch of sea salt great, but this is what I do if you drink keto Nat and you're drinking ketones This has been formulated. This has been formulated to go in there So this is a huge huge huge improvement of hydration now This has added things instead of just like a traditional electrolyte a traditional electrolyte Isn't necessarily formulated for our product. This is but it also has something called p2p in it And it helps with mitochondrial function and the ability for the cell to turn over and become more efficient So it's in the accelerate results. So this is why this is so superior in so many ways So if you're a person that's prone towards dehydration headaches sluggishness You maybe get tired if you're keto or drinking ketones You're not feeling that super zest and you don't feel that super power Most of the time you're dehydrated now.  I drink a lot of water Yes, and there's a problem with that and I'll tell you in a second most likely So start using mitoplex one or two if you're more pro tours dehydration use two a day And you're gonna see your shift you'll shift so fast so well But if you don't have mitoplex on hand, you're like, what do I do while I'm waiting for it to get to get here arrive I want you to use some sea salt You can get some electrolytes from like a health food store low carb of course And start using a couple of those a day, but it's not formulated the same way for what we're doing But sea salt is a great tool a lot of people tend to eat less sodium and less salt in general And they tend to be more active or they use filtered water So this is the reason why dehydration is a real big problem is that they're either really active They live in a desert or both that's even worse or they use a lot of bottled water filter water Reverse osmosis distilled waters or they drink a lot of water out of like the cans sparkling waters those waters don't have the right amount of minerals in it the balance isn't there their pH is going to be low or more acidic and It's a problem because it's actually gonna cause more dehydration So if you're something like I drink a lot of water, but I've never quenched I'm still having a little bit of lightheaded. I stand up really fast like a little light headed most likely your mineral deficient Electrolytes are gonna play a big role in that sodium and self will play a big role in that so Lot of the ketone experts actually recommend a lot more sodium if you're in ketosis now Our product has sodium in it, which is really good. Some of you might need to go a little bit more So you might have to play with it a little bit. So I have a couple little tips for you This is the key If you're a person that uses a lot of bottled water reverse osmosis water You need to put a pinch of sea salt in it every time doesn't have to taste salty But just salt salt salt every time puts it's gonna help. I promise start salting your food more You're gonna notice even more improvement more energy more vitality. You're gonna feel a lot better The other thing I want you to do is if you do use reverse osmosis If you can choose a better choice of water that has more spring water and keep in mind just because the bottle says one thing Doesn't mean it's actually true. They're selling products y'all doesn't mean it's always true So you may still have you may have to add additional to that But this is the simple secret now if you get a light headache One of my little tips I like to do is take a 18th of a teaspoon It's just like maybe a kind of a good size pinch of sea salt throw it in a little shot glass of water drink it down Drink your ketones or drink whatever after 30 minutes later do it again and see if your headache goes away And that'll be a really good indicator or see if your energy levels boost back up that you're basically Mineral deficient you need some more sodium. You're gonna need more electrolytes And that's a really good test to know that you're kind of often you need to get better So keep in mind ketones don't cause this they highlighted efficiency that was already there So if you're already prone towards dehydration and you notice this maybe not not feeling as superior as you feel like you should You're probably already in the dehydration stage and you probably always dance that line You tend to prone towards cramps headaches fatigue those are things that you've been dealing with anyway So ketones are great.  It tastes better anyway And plenty of science that supports this plenty of science that says that salt isn't causing all these problems for the majority of all the population and so enjoy it enjoy the enjoy your journey enjoy your salt enjoy your electrolytes and Drink your ketones every single day y'all Bye
