Despite being 18 in human years, Billy sees himself as a 13-year-old. He considers his "creation day" the day he watched Freddy and Friends and learned of animatronics. Billy's psychogist has also had enough of him, wanting to institutionalize him as well. Vera continues to refuse, and eventually, the pressure breaks her. The next day, Billy wakes up and notices his mom is missing. He sees that the bathroom is locked. When he unlocks it, he finds his mom dead in the bathtub submerged in water, with the medicine cabinet wide open. Billy calls 911. The paramedics avoid talking to him as they carry Vera's body away. Before her death, Vera put files on Billy's laptop to teach him about finances, spending money and other knowledge that would help him in adulthood.

The next year, Billy falls into a state of cognitive dissonance, feeling human despite knowing he was an animatronic. He decides to replace his limbs with prosthetics. After several rejected requests, a mad doctor who lost his license due to malpractice lawsuits offers to help him. Billy believed that getting robotic enhancements would make him stronger. In reality, they made him slower and clumsier. At the same time, he meets a girl named Malilah over a chat room and they get in a relationship over time.

Strategically make your way through icy graveyards in the densely forested mountain world, enemies feel your bullets and light magic. As you climb the ranks, you unlock new spells and weapons. According to Sony, the latter benefit from physics-based shooting mechanics. Rescued comrades-in-arms help with the expansion of the temple headquarters and unlock new stores and classes.

I am familiar with network classes etc, but that has little to do with how to modify the code to get it to work with WiFiManager or to work like WiFiManager. Maybe I was not specific enough in my help request. Sometimes I know what I mean, but others do not, and that is my fault that I need to work on.

All of the cabinets were replaced with white shaker cabinets and brass hardware, a range hood was installed and designed to blend right in with the rest of the cabinetry, and a large farmhouse-style sink would sit below the window. I also incorporated the quartzite countertop material into part of the backsplash to add to the visual flow. A special thanks to Marbleyard for providing such beautiful material to really make this kitchen transformation stand out. I wanted this kitchen to have a more minimalistic and traditional look and feel while still being bright and open.

Instead of just using standard open kitchen shelving, I called in an industrial artist and metal designer to help me create a custom piece that has some serious wow factor. The custom shelving divider was mounted from the ceiling to the kitchen countertops to provide a dynamic design element in two rooms at once. My intention was to make the two spaces seamlessly blend together, allowing for a functional entertaining area when friends and family visit.

With the dining area right off of the kitchen and visible from the living room, I wanted to play up the beachy boho style that incorporated the best of both rooms. I used neutral colors, greenery, and a large rattan pendant light to add visual interest and light up the gallery wall. We also added a live edge wood table from Lou Sarg Woodwork, and custom banquette seating, to accomplish this look.

Since Broderick is a welder by trade, and he was initially excited about tackling this renovation for Kendall, I wanted him to be able to help out and put his own mark on the house. I called him up during the renovation to have him weld a custom base for his future dining table. It was the perfect fit for the live edge table created by wood table designer Lou Sarg that would sit on top of the base. Their first proper dining room is definitely a happy space.

The existing bedroom walls were white with dark beige green colors, which really needed to be updated. I wanted to create a statement wall with a moody blue color with some texture to create visual interest. My contractor and I added a Roman Clay application using a thin coat of paint smeared onto the wall. The rest of the room needed symmetry, so I added two matching nightstands and lamps, symmetrical curtains, and a bench centered at the end of the bed. To break up the symmetry a bit and incorporate a special touch, I added different-sized, vintage-inspired mirrors above the bed. My Baruna Bed added that beachy boho touch to this primary suite, and the updated modern colors in the room incorporated an earthy, calming vibe.

There's one group of people that is universally tarred and feathered in the United States and most of the world. We never hear from them, because they can't identify themselves without putting their livelihoods and reputations at risk. That group is pedophiles. It turns out lots of them desperately want help, but because it's so hard to talk about their situation it's almost impossible for them to find it. Reporter Luke Malone spent a year and a half talking to people in this situation, and he has this story about one of them. More of Luke Malone's reporting on this topic is available on Medium.com.

So when I actually started looking for jobs, I didn't have a specific area I wanted to get into. I just really wanted a job. So I pretty much, I started in bone marrow transplant and I'm still there.

Ashley: Yeah, but I mean, my husband helps a lot. He like mails all my stuff, especially if I have to go to work. Yes. So the mailing for me during the holiday, I had him packing orders in me, which was, it's hard to kind of let someone else do it.

And then my parents actually have helped me before. And then all my friends and my cousins, everybody helps by like, whether it's an Instagram post or, you know, telling somebody else about the product.

We talked about this a little bit like separately, but just kind of, how paths aren't always, what's the word I want like a linear, I guess like, like being in fashion and being in accounting, like what were the things that, you know, took you away from those places are worse than like ways that you feel like those things have helped you kind of get to where you are right now.

So it's a, I did a kind of a long road to where I am now, but even like my business degree right now helps me and what I learned and then just working in a retail company and no one thinks about minimums and cost and pricing and then being in nursing and just having a health background, like everything kind of came...

As far as using it, I use it every day, after the shower, like that's one thing I use. Yeah. Yeah. And, it's great. Especially like at work, it's so drying in the hospital, so it definitely helps with the heat and everything that's happening in the hospital.

Ashley: So, yeah. And I definitely bring everything like the little one to work because I can just put on, cause we wash our hands. I don't even want to know how many times a day. So it definitely helps...

For the parents who make up nearly one-third of the U.S. civilian workforce, accessing quality jobs and increasing their economic mobility is critical to ensuring all families thrive. There are several types of investments in workforce and workforce development programs aimed at helping workers obtain the skills needed to secure quality jobs. However, these supports often fail to recognize the constraints parents face when balancing a career and raising children. Additionally, workforce training opportunities offered by employers frequently go to upper income individuals. These also tend to overlook the unique needs of parents.

Denver has a large refugee population. Do you have strategies for helping parents from diverse backgrounds (language, literacy, economic status) find success in finding a job?

Transcripción en español disponible aquí: -content/uploads/2021/09/s2-ep2-spanish.pdfReyes: Hello and welcome to Should I or Shouldn't I, a Fresh Arts podcast hosted by me, Reyes Ramirez, where we explore the decisions artists make every day to succeed in their creative practice. Hello, yeah, so, welcome back y'all, it's been a while since the last podcast recording, but we'll come back as always. This is Reyes Ramirez with the Fresh Arts podcast. Should I or Shouldn't I? And so today's question is presumably pertinent, I think, I mean, rather always, it's always just a pertinent question of, should I, or shouldn't I do something for free? I think this is a question that artists get a lot. For many reasons I'd rather, I mean, I have my own answers, but I think I'd rather have our guests answer that because the reason why, I particularly invited these two artists is 'cause they're so amazing, but I also know that with great power comes great responsibility. And when you're kind of a great, great artists, like these two, great creatives, you get asked all kinds of stuff and to varying degrees and in different contexts for different purposes. And so that's why I asked them to kind of lend their expertise and their experience to us for about 45 minutes to really let us know, like how does a creative or an artist really get through this business aspect, this aspect of just eating to eat, really, and live. And so we have Carla Lyles and we have Moe Penders, so certainly with you Moe could you introduce yourself and let people know who you are?Moe Penders: Okay, so my name is Moe Penders and am a Salvadorian artist, and I've been here in Houston for about 12 years. I use they, them pronouns. And for, should I say where I work or what I do?Reyes: If you want.Moe: Well, I guess I'm a freelanced, all sorts of things, actually. So I do art installation and I also teach afterschool programs. So that's really it.Reyes: Awesome. Thank you Moe. Carla.Carla Lyles: Hey. Thank you Reyes for having me. This is so cool. I'm Carla Sue, well, I'm Carla Lyles, but people call me Carla Sue. I'm the owner of Carla Sue greeting cards and gifts. It is a greeting card company and gift shop that encourages everyone to take up space and to be their authentic selves. My cards are sold in the stores and, my cards are sold in stores nationwide, what a tongue twister. And yeah, that's me in a nutshell, I'm a mom and I make things with my hands and I love it.Reyes: Awesome. Thank you, you two. So, kind of just to get right off the bat, starting with you Moe, have you ever been asked to do quote, unquote free work and what did you do? What did you say?Moe: I get asked to do free work all the time, for years. I still get as to do free work. And I think it's difficult and it's something that I've been very trying to learn to unlearn, actually, sorry to not do. And of course, I mean, we'll go more into it, but yeah, it depends on the situation. But I mean, it's something that like, even recently things have happened, right? Like, and realizing like, oh no, I'm still doing this, right. Like, I'm trying to figure out like, oh wait, I can't, like, this is not okay.Reyes: Yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. It's kind of like, almost like a weird, like putting someone on the spot to be like, obviously depending on the context, but can you do this? And they won't say like the compensation, they'll just say, can you do this? And you ask them in a very nice way, or let me pick your brain, right. Kind of like the getting of information for free, right. But same for you, Carla. Have you ever been asked to do free work and what did, or what do you say?Carla: So like what is free? Are we talking about like free, just like monetary or is that what we're talking about right now? As far as like free work?Reyes: Yeah, so kind of like I did earlier. But yeah, I kind of put the phrase free work in quotations because it's however you define it. 'Cause it can be, it can be monetary, it's mostly monetary. It could be your time. It could be your skills and experience. And so, it's however you define it.Carla: Okay, cool. Well, in that case, of course I've done free work. I've been asked to do free work. And, but the thing is with me is whenever I do accept, air quotes, free work, free work's never really free. It's like, sometimes it'll be something like, if I wanna take on a project and it's like, okay, I have the opportunity to be super creative. It's like, okay, I will commission myself to do this air quote, free work. If it's purposeful, like I used to do flyers for the community, nonprofits in a leaf. And because I wanted to align with such a purposeful nonprofit and I wanted to align with like people doing good things in my community. Yeah, I don't have a problem doing that type of free work. So yeah, that's the only free work that I'm willing to do. If it's something that feels good to me, you know what I mean?Reyes: Yeah, and I think this actually kind of segues into the next question, of like, 'cause you're right. In terms of one defining what does that mean, like to do quote unquote free work. For me, yeah, it's like, sometimes, there's kind of like a difference between, I don't know, my friends asking me, "Hey, can you help me move? And I'll pay you in like two nasty beer, two warm beers and some pizza." Versus like a museum coming up to you, "Hey, can you do poetry for our event?" And there's kind of like a difference. I have friends who are artists and who run spaces and they'll ask me like, "Hey, Reyes, I'm sorry, like, can you just do like a press release for us?" And it depends, usually they'll help me out by throwing me some free books because they they'll own a bookstore or something like that. And it's kind of like this exchange that's happening. But I think this kind of goes into the question of the lines and the boundaries between let's say a commission, a collaboration or a service, right? And I asked that in that way, because there is kind of a difference of like, let's say someone asking me to volunteer. Right, and usually they might even use that phrase like, "Hey, can you volunteer to do this?" Right, and it's kind of like, the more you read into it, it's like, oh, this is actually just a commission. Like, this is usually a paid service that I would do, you're asking me to do, to volunteer for it. Or there are times when it's another artist who maybe needs a service, but I can think of it more of as a collaboration where it's like, "Okay, I get it, you don't have a lot of money, but you're willing to kind of barter, you're willing to do something in exchange." And so, Moe, what are the lines and boundaries you consider between a commission, a collaboration or a service or use any of your skills, people who ask to use any of your skills?Moe: I mean, yeah. It's kind of like, so for instance, in art installation, I'd try to have, well, I don't try, I have a, I do sliding scale, right? So for more of like my friends and like businesses, organizations that are running, like by BIPOC, then I try to do, like, I charge less. And then like the organizations that have more money or like white-led, then I'll charge more.Carla: Exactly.Moe: Yeah. And so, I mean, yeah, and my friends, like, I'll do a lot of stuff like that. Like, and that, I think that for me also personally, I tend to be a person, like I'm very willing to help. And so then sometimes I feel like that I also like put myself in those situations that then I'm like, wait, I've been working for a long time, and then everyone just knows to ask me. And I'm like, wait, no, I need to not just do so many things for free. And even a few years ago, I came to the realization, I mean, it was about like five years ago, I was super broke and living in my studio, I was houseless and I was still doing work for free. And I was like, wait, I shouldn't be doing work for free if I can't even take care of myself, right. So it's, and the things that I also tend to work a lot with the community. So sometimes it's difficult for me, in being like, "Oh, wait, I don't wanna charge." But then for instance, like I was saying that something that happened recently, like I was in my first show at a museum and I didn't get paid. But I'm so used to not getting paid to be in a show that I was like, oh, this is normal, right? And then one of the other artists asked that question and I was like, are we getting paid? And was met with like, oh, you should be grateful for being here, right? And I feel like I've also been trained in that ever since I was young, very like, just be quiet and be grateful for what you have. And so I can fall into, and I'm like, oh yes, I have to like, I'm here. And then it was like, wait, no, like this place has tons of money. And they're like, you have to pay to get in, like people have to pay to get in. They're selling a book with our artwork and none of us got paid. And it's like realizing that, and that's just a few months ago, right? And I'm like, oh my God, I'm still not used to it. Or even when I asked the question, I got asked to be on another kind of panel or something, and then it was a couple of weeks ago and I asked like, oh, so are you paying? And the person was like, "What?" Kind of like surprised by my question. And I was like, "Uh..." So it's kind of like trying to find those balances. And I guess at times it goes back to checking in with myself and seeing how I'm feeling and where I'm at, since I do freelance, right, like in regards to finances to be able to be like, yes, I can provide these services, or if I'm at capacity, I'm like, I can't do it for free or I can't do it right now. So that.Reyes: Yeah, and I know what you mean in terms of like the, well, I guess we get into it in a little bit, but this idea of like kindness, right? Like an artist is like, I think artists tend to be very collaborative. They tend to really wanna be part of a community and help out other artists and help out other communities. And it's kind of like, yeah, at one point there is that line of boundary of like, yeah, this is not me contributing to community, this is me contributing to you. Kind of like you're asking me to do something and you should be, I shouldn't have to be assertive to be seen as like a work, someone who's providing work. Right, it should be like, why aren't you starting out with that basis of wanting to pay someone. Carla.Moe: Sorry.Reyes: Oh sorry, please Moe.Moe: It's always weird that people have that expectation, I don't know why there's this assumption that artists don't need to get paid. Like, I don't know where they think we're getting magic money from or something.Reyes: Yeah, yeah. Carla please, yeah. What are the lines, boundaries you consider between like a commission and a collaboration or service that you do in your practice?Carla: Yeah, I feel like with, when it comes to like free work, I mean, I think we realize, we don't realize as creatives sometime
