Since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the world has benefited from a largely peaceful status quo among all of the major world powers. Today that stability is being challenged in each of the three most critical areas of the world. In East Asia, China is aggressively asserting claims over maritime areas on its periphery, claims that conflict sharply with those of its neighbors. And the Beijing regime gives much indication of believing that its natural destiny is to be the dominant power in all of the Western Pacific, which would mean over all of the nations on its periphery. In the Persian Gulf, Iran aspires to establish Persian hegemony over the region. And the organization that styles itself the Islamic State is seeking to overturn the entire order in that region. But in some ways most troubling of all have been Vladimir Putin's actions in Ukraine, which have violated one of the most fundamental post-Cold War security agreements. The 1994 agreement under which Ukraine agreed to surrender its nuclear weapons in exchange for commitments by Russia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Commitments to Ukraine's independence and territorial integrity. Moreover, Putin has done so by invoking a rationale of protecting ethnic Russians in other countries that could be applied elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe with results that could be extraordinarily dangerous and destabilizing. Some 20 years ago, when Boris Yeltsin is president of the Russian Federation, made his first visit to Washington, I was in his meeting with then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney. I have never forgotten Yeltsin's response when the subject of Soviet plans to increase defense spending was raised. To increase Soviet defense spending, he said, would be a crime against the Soviet people who have already suffered enough under 70 years of communism. What a different view of Russia's past from Putin's declaration to the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster. These two very different perspectives on Russia's past are each connected to very different visions of Russia's future. The one perspective welcomes the escape from Russia's dark tyrannical past and welcomes the vision of a free and truly democratic Russia as a part of Europe. A Europe to which Russia has contributed some of its greatest writers and composers and artists and scientists. A Europe which Russia had been approaching even under the czars before the tragedy of World War I and the subsequent communist takeover drove a wedge between Western and Eastern Europe that endured for seven decades. The other perspective sees Russia with a distinctly Eurasian identity and views democracy from a perspective that would be comfortable for Asian autocrats. Putin's aggression in Ukraine is as much about cementing his hold on power in Russia as it is about the interests of ethnic Russians in Ukraine. The prospect of a Ukraine that had thrown out a corrupt dictator and might become a successful democracy integrated with Europe was threatening to Putin because the appeal of Europe is still powerful in Russia itself and because it threatens him when Russians are able to think about the wealth being accumulated by Putin and his friends. But when the issue becomes instead one of raw nationalism, Putin's popularity increases. That appeal to raw nationalism has been a pattern since the beginning of his national career, whether in Chechnya or in Georgia or in Abkhazia or in South Ossetia, and now again with Crimea.


Hello, friends. I'm Sanjay Gupta. I welcome you on Sanjay Gupta Tech School. In this video, I'm going to demonstrate you how you can implement is changed and prior value in lightning flow before starting. Let me tell you this website study salesforce.com. So on this website, I have put all the video links that I created related to salesforce topics. These are listed here and I selected flow already. So these are related to flow. So you can visit this website and watch particular video as per your interest. Now moving to this flow, I'm going to select a new flow and to implement this requirement to show behavior of is changed and prior value. So I'm selecting record trigger flow, right? So now the use case is I'm going to launch this record trigger flow for opportunity object. And whenever any stage is changing on opportunity, then we need to check whether stage is changed or not. Right? So if it is changed, so I will be updating description of opportunity with the current stage. If it is not changed, so I will be mentioning like stages not changed in the description field of opportunity. Right? So I'm selecting this created or updated. Then selecting this before save when I'm choosing the opportunity object. And here I'm choosing none. Right? Now I'm selecting decision. So its label will be checked prior value is changed. So now how you can do that. So here you can see two entities are available record and record prior. So this record shows the current record on which this record trigger flow is triggered. So record dot stage does not equal and prior value you can identify through this record underscore underscore prior. So stays. So if current record stays the stays that you updated and the previous value of that stays, if both are not equal, it means you change the stays, right? And not changed. So here I can put record dot stage equals record prior dot stage name. Right? If both are equal, it means you didn't change stage. You changed something else. So I'm connecting this now putting one assignment. So update description. So I hope you understood how we can compare current or prior values to implement a change behavior. So now I'm just your report dot description equals. So I'm just putting current stage, if it is changed. So if stage is changed so current stays will be updated into description. Otherwise, so here I'm, I will be just putting the plain text like stays is not changed. Right. And I am linking it here. Right. So I selected before safe because I just want to update the current record. If I want to update the related record then I have choose this after the record is safe thing. This is done. Clicking on save is change and prior value demo. Clicking on save activate moving to opportunity. So I'm just going to open sales application where we can find opportunity tab. So here it is. So I'm going to open one opportunity. So if I move to details. So here you can see stages available it is prospecting as of now. And in description you can see it is having test. So now I am changing stays to qualification clicking on save moving to description so you can see qualification is populated here. Now this time I'm going to change something else. Let's say type. Right. So I'm not updating stays. I'm just updating type. So that flow will run and it will. Okay, it is not dating. So actually what I did I did a mistake. So here you can see stages not updated is populated. So the mistake was instead of putting description here I put the stage. So now I'm updating it as description. Clicking on save as to create new version. Activating it. So now I'm selecting. Let's say prospecting again clicking on save. So here you can see prospecting is available. And this time again I'm going to change the type. So I'm changing type. So clicking on save stages prospecting I'm not changing that and here you can see stages not updated. So in both the way it is working fine. So one mistake I did so you need to focus on this like a particular field you need to select otherwise your data will not be inconsistent your data won't be consistent so I hope this way you can implement a change behavior with the help of this current record value and prior value. So I hope this way you understood how we can implement both the things like how to check is changed and how to get the prior value of a particular record. So this is required in many of the scenarios while you will be working on the real life projects. If you want to watch more videos related to these kind of scenarios so visit this website. You will find a complete library of Salesforce video so do watch them. Thank you for watching this video.


Hi you guys, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside the Hymn. All right you guys, McCalls is out with their new fall collection. I know it might feel a little bit soon since I feel like we literally just did early fall, but alas, here we are talking fall. Also, just a heads up, I'm getting over a little like chest situation. So if my voice sounds a little deeper than usual and raspy, enjoy it. Okay, first up, Nicole Miller. All right, we have got a jacket and skirt obsessed. Okay, this is good. This is really good guys. I love a little matchy, matchy jacket suit or jacket skirt, jacket short situation. When the fabrics match, I just think the proportions are always really good and it's a very like elevated, but still kind of casual look. I'm obsessed. Let's look at some more pictures. So there's the skirt, styled beautifully. And I think yeah, the sleeves are like flared with little buttons possibly. That's not as flattering. I mean, the pose. Look, oh my god, that's so good. This seems a little bit big, but that can be fixed with a little muslin. How cute. I love this. Okay, so it does say loose fitting. The jacket is supposed to be loose fitting. So the ease up here makes sense. I mean, obviously you could make it a little more close fitting if you prefer. The jacket is lined. It has patch pockets, which you can barely see in this fabric. Yeah, I can't see them at all. Wealth pockets also and top stitch seams. Sleeves have attached flounce allowing longer length. That's an interesting way to say that. Semi fitted lined skirt has front and back yoke and center back zipper. So I'm guessing what they're saying is you could just leave this off and not have and just have like a, I don't know. I guess it would be like elbow length. Here are the patch pockets. Here are the welt pockets. So it's a little bit more like a denim jacket style. Like I said, very hard to see in any of these pictures because the fabric is just so busy. What is this fabric? Those are like little metal applique type things. The back has a yoke and the front has a yoke, which is nice. Button front, cool. And then the skirt is like very, very simple. These skirts don't typically look super flattering on me, but I could do some seat adjustments and possibly get it a little bit better. But this jacket is so cute. So, so cute. Okay. Here's what they're recommending for fabrics. Novelty fabric, brocade, super cute, jacquard, denim, and then your lining fabrics. You need a ton of buttons and invisible zipper and hook and eye for the skirt. And then here's your yardage for the jacket and the yardage for your skirt. Interfacing for the waistband, interfacing for the collar and probably the button placket. You've got your bust line measurements and your hip line measurements. Yay. Thank you. Especially for like a fitted skirt like that. That's nice. Okay, great. Good start. Way to go, Nicole Miller. All right. Next up, we've got this. Okay. So they came out last year. These little like blazers as dresses were very trendy. I think that Meghan Markle wore one. A lot of celebrities were wearing them. They had, I got a pattern. I can't remember who it was. Maybe Berta style? Definitely. It was Berta style. But here we are with McCalls having their own version. I have a fabric ready to go for this and everything. I am definitely all about this trend. I think it's super cute and super chic. Here's the short sleeve version which is what most people, most celebrities were wearing last year. Here it is with a really cute like asymmetrical something happening. I just think it's a really fun classy trend. Pretty darts in the back giving some beautiful shaping. Adorable. Loose fitting lined double breasted dress has sleeveless or long sleeve variation angled him for C. Gorgeous and so simple guys. This is not a complicated thing to make but it looks like a million bucks. So cute. Yardage, wool blends, gabardine, crepes, suiting fabrics. Is it fully lined? Yeah, fully lined.  I wonder, I guess the bias tape might be for the arm hole but it's lined so you shouldn't need to do that. I don't know. I think sometimes they use the bias tape to make it easier for beginners to sew or for new or soists to sew. And then here's your fabric requirements. Maybe it's not fully lined. The lining is a lot smaller by a yard than the fabric. Maybe the sleeves aren't lined. That seems weird. I would just line the whole thing. Okay, finished garment. I feel like they're listening. Okay, bust line is here, hip line is here. Perfect, perfect. Yay, thank you so much. That's wonderful. Kind of odd though that the bust line and the hip line measurements are the same but I guess that's because it is supposed to be loose fitting through the bust. Loose fitting, see? So I mean, take that for what you want. You could also always just make a smaller bust line than what you would normally and have it a little bit more close fitting and grade it out to the hip. Cute, love it, very trendy, awesome. Okay, now we've got a dress, kind of like in a shirt dress style with your patch pockets, beautiful top stitching. You've got this interesting seam here. It's like a yoke but doesn't go all the way across. I don't really know what that's called. And then a two-piece sleeve and a cuff and like just a lot of seeming details. That's fun. Here it is in a very interesting combination of fabrics. It must be like flannel and lace, I guess. There it is in denim again, kind of very like western looking with this detail here. Cute though with the booties especially, rolled up sleeve is cute. Yeah, and then like the shaped back yoke, beautiful back darts. Again, are they listening? Are you guys watching my videos? Jackie Polikoff is a designer for McCalls. Met her in person. She's super, super sweet. So who knows, maybe she is listening. Although I don't know how much control she has over, like, I mean just, probably just the designs, not so much like the bust line, hip line measurements being included. But who knows? Okay, dress has a fitted bodice, button front opening, patch pockets with buttons and flaps, three-piece, three-piece sleeve with button cuff, top stitching details, and skirt variations. I do really love the kind of flared skirt, especially still if you did it in a denim. I think that that would be fun too. Fit issue-wise, the only thing I see is this just looks a little bit short, especially on the side.  Yeah, and then there it is. I think it's fun. It certainly would be a lot of fun to sew with all that top stitching. And you could find some really fun fabrics to play off of as well. I mean, a flannel dress, how comfortable does that sound? It would be like wearable pajamas, really. Okay, fabrics are cotton blends, denim, chambray, poplin, and then you can do a lace contrast. Here's your fabric requirements. And they don't give any finished garment measurements on this one at all. That's so weird. Okay, okay, I'm just going to take the good with the bad. We got them on two patterns. Okay, here's another dress. It's like a sweater dress. This version is really cute. I love this little Jackie O neckline and this full sleeve with the cuff. This is not for my body type, but for those of you who have less curves, this will definitely give those to you. This feels very ready to wear, right? I feel like I've seen this in stores. Look at this. So cute. That's a fun, fun outfit. And then there's the back. Okay, there's calling it very easy. Fitted dresses have long or short sleeves. Do you see a short sleeve? Oh, this. With pleats and cuffs, neckband and hem band, contrast collar sleeve bands and hem band, collar sleeve, okay. So just different riffs on contrasts, fabric and stuff. So this one has the pleats on the shoulder and this one has them down here. So I presume you would get two different sleeve pieces, which is fun. No collar here at all, but I like the collar, honestly. Super cute. This is adorable. No darting or anything like that, but because it's a sweater, like a kind of a stretchy fabric, you may not need that as much as you would think. Not like woven. Okay, yeah, stretch knits, 35%. So sweater knits, interlock, velvet knits and rib knit. Rib knit would be super cute. And you need some seam binding. It comes in the alphanumeric sizing. You do not need a lot of fabric, which is nice. And no measurements at all. Cute. I love this. Okay. Oh, this is fun. Guys, I'm like, like five for five. I like all of these. Okay, this is Laura Ashley. It's hard to tell, but it looks like we've got like a little something happening with the sleeve with like, I don't know, something happening here. A little bow situation. This must be a purchased belt. A little ruffle detail down here. Oh, that's cute detail. I've seen that a lot and ready to wear lately. Elasticized waist. There's the little neckline again. That's the, this is a long sleeve version of what she's wearing. I think that's adorable.  So cute. And guys, you could totally wear this in the spring too. Cute. Loose fitting pullover dress has collar extending into tie ends. Elasticized waist and sleeve variations. Cute and so easy to sew. Okay, crepe, chalet, charmous, cotton blends. Yeah, all that lightweight stuff, bias tape, elastic and elastic for the sleeve. Okay, here's your fabric and some useless finished garment measurements. Cute. Another good one. Way to go, Laura Ashley. Okay, here's a learn to sew for fun. So for those of you that did my sew along, this could be something that you could tackle, even if you only made one other garment. It looks like it might be knit. Possibly this looks knit-ish to me. You've got like a wrap situation happening with a Dolman sleeve. Very 80s. This big long cuff fitted skirt. Here it is with a circle skirt. This is the full sleeve and set in interesting. You got a lot of options with this guy. I kind of really dig this kind of drapey off the shoulder Dolman situation happening though. Even if you did the fuller skirt with it, I still think that would be really cute too. Yeah, learn to sew with knits. Awesome. Learn to attach a knit band. I don't know what that means. Learn to sew a faux wrap front. Learn to sew a floating casing. Again, I don't know what that is either. Maybe for the waistband. There's elastic in there maybe. Dress has close fitting faux wrap bodice with band and elasticized waist. faux wrap bodice with band. I'm guessing that's her neckline? There's a band in here? Yeah, that must be it. And then yeah, there's an elastic casing inside. Narrow hem armhole finish. Long sleeve, three-quarter sleeve. Okay. Cute. Yeah, here's the neckband. I love this version. This version super cute too. This version with the sleeves, this long sleeve would be adorable. And then of course you could do the sleeve here or here. You could play with sleeve length. You could have a lot of different garments with one pattern, which is nice. Cotton knits, interlock knit, rib knit, sweater knit. Yeah, that double brush poly. If any of you have that in your stash, I feel like we were all obsessed with that for a moment. Might still be. That would be a good option, especially for this dolman sleeve one. Who wants to sew along? Let me know in the comments. Alpha numeric sizing and they all come in one pattern, so you don't have to worry about which pattern am I going to buy. Is it going to be the right size? They're all there. Here's your fabric. You really don't need a lot. Cute. That one's really fun. Okay, now we've got another Laura Ashley. Before you knock the sleeves, these sleeves are all the rage on the runways. Everyone's member. We've been in the sleeve, the statement sleeve trend for a while now. We were going with volume for a while on like the bottom half. Now we're doing a lot of this stuff. So just keep an open mind. The rest of the pattern looks really lovely. You've got this kind of wrap front with like some kind of dart or pleat or something. This beautiful little tie and these lovely tears. Here it is in a shorter version. That is totally street wearable, right? Like you could see that on the street. That's very cute. Here it is in a dressier fabric. Beautiful for date night. Pretty shaping through here. We'll look at the line drawings here in a second. I mean, it does give you an hourglass shape. You know, it's like adding width to your shoulders and then your waistline comes in and your hip goes out. I mean, it's a little Victorian. Okay, it's a little 80s happening, but it's a statement. Wrap dress fitted at bust has long or elbow length sleeve, bias cut skirt, a bias cut skirt. That makes me love it even more and flounce variations. The bias cut skirt is just going to allow it. Let's try and find a better picture. Allow it to drape on your bottom half. Just more naturally, more close fitting. It's going to like hug your curves, but not in a clingy way. It just like lays over them. I don't know. It's very flattering. Very, very flattering. I will say I do prefer the shorter version with the short sleeve and the short skirt, but who knows? Maybe one day I will go for all in on the long sleeve. I don't know about this version. That's a little too, too much. Also, maybe I'm just in a really good mood today. I don't know. I'm liking every single pattern. Okay, crepes, crepe to sheen, charmous, shali. Oh, and then you need some netting for a sleeve heading. I've never even done a sleeve heading before, I don't think. One little button and grosgrain ribbon. I don't know. Oh, because it's a true wrap dress. Yeah, so on the inside there is, it ties. You have your kind of standard sizing. And then here's your actually a lot of fabric for this. I guess that sleeve probably takes up a ton. Netting, interfacing, and then you've got your bust line and your hip line measurements. I mean, if you're going to make one like funky statement thing this year, then that should probably be it. Okay, this is a top romper and overalls bang for your buck. Okay. Well, it's, I don't love a center front zipper full body, like having a zipper end at your crotch to me. I don't know, there's something inherently wrong with that. But I don't know. I don't, okay, the top is adorable. I'm guessing this is all trim sewn onto fabric, I guess. And then these little tucks, the high neckline, this is really cute. Yeah, the romper has the zipper too. I don't know about that guys. Here's the top. It's the same as the one she has on. Yeah, I think so. Look how cute with the flared jeans. Are these jeans part of the new collection? Because that would be awesome. I don't know, this could be cute. I'm not going to say necessarily that it's like reserved for a certain age group, or for a certain body type. It's just for a certain style.  I don't necessarily know that I agree with wearing the top and the overalls together either. Maybe that's it. Maybe that's why I'm not, maybe I got to try and ignore the top. Yeah, I don't know. I mean overalls are one of those things that like there are a lot of different patterns out there for them. McCall's even already has some from previous seasons. And these aren't just jumping out at me as something that like I have to have. Loose fitting top has button front band, lace insets, back yoke, armhole ruffle, and sleeves with pin dunk details. Okay, it is a loose fitting top has button front band, lace insets, back yoke, armhole ruffle, and sleeves with pin dunk details. Romper overalls have side, oh sorry, slide buckles, center front zipper closure, patch pockets with snap closures, and top stitching details. Okay, we got it. The top is super cute. But I don't buy patterns that I only like one of the things. I mean, maybe if it goes on sale for $2 at Joanne, but yeah. Ah, I mean the line drawings cute and the back is adorable. I'm assuming this is all a facing and this is really pretty. So I don't know, I just don't know about that front zip. I mean, I guess you could move it to the back, but I don't really need overalls. Okay, fabrics for the top are lawn cotton blends, wool, and polished cotton. And then for the overalls and romper, twill, denim, chino, baby corduroy, that's cute. Right, 14 shank buttons, 14 shank buttons for the top, goodness.  Here's your fabric requirements, measurement bust line for the top, and hip line for the overalls. Yeah, very loose fitting top. And then yeah, you have your kind of standard sizing, 6 to 14, and then 14 to 22. All right. Oops, no, go back. Okay, now we've got a cropped jacket. It's like a moto-esque cute. Look at that super cropped. That's like your waistline. That's fun. Oh, this reminds me of the Taylor Swift, not people, Entertainment Weekly maybe, where she did all the patches. Big Taylor Swift fan here, if you don't know that already, like very big. Yeah, and then there she is.  Loose fitting, unlined button front jackets have front and lower bands, pieced sleeves with cuffs, and collar variations. Raw edge finish at lower edge on this A, that's kind of cool too. Plated pockets with band, which is these, and purchased appliques. Fun, I have a lot of ideas for this already. There's our line drawings. I kind of love this color, but this one's super cute too. And I really appreciate all the button fronts. Those are harder to find than you may realize. You know, so often they're doing like the zipper front. Denim, twill, chino, and faux suede are what they're recommending, but I mean, obviously, you could do a faux leather. This in a suede would be exceptional.  There's a lot of really great fabrics you could use for this. Cool. All right, buttons, buttons, buttons, and appliques. Here's your fabric requirements. You really don't need much. They're doing the alphanumeric sizing, which is good. And then bust line measurement, which I mean, it's pretty loose fitting on the bust. So cute. I'll be getting this one for sure. Oh, fun fringe. Okay. Wow. Wow. Okay. I mean, it's just that the faux leather is like super cheap looking. I would rather they have picked something a little more less plastic. Let's just call it that. But fun concept. That's interesting. You can see the seam lines really well there. Oh, okay, that's adorable. These are all like coating fabrics, I guess. No. No. Concept, good execution. No. Fitted online jacket has seam details and center front separating zipper, cell fringe, C has contrast, and no provisions for above waist adjustment. Okay. Cute. Don't get me wrong. I don't not like this. I just don't like it in the plastic leather that they bought it in. This one with the monochromatic situation happening is adorable. All right, cotton blends and brocades for A and C, and then faux suede, denim, twill. You just need one zipper C on the zip front jacket. And then your standard sizing here is your fabric requirements. And then you've got a bust line measurement and a lower edge measurement, which for this is kind of like a hip measurement sort of. Okay. Cute. Ooh. Okay. We've got a little top here. Okay.  Yeah. Super easy to cut out, that's for sure. But it's got like a neckband, a little tie situation, a ruffle, and then something happening here. I don't know exactly what that is. There's the exact. Oh, this is without the ruffle. Okay. Okay. Yeah. It's not really my style. I just don't know why I wouldn't just wear a regular cardigan, I guess because the fabrics are more fun. I don't know. This just seems like I don't really need this. But maybe I do. Maybe I'm wrong. Very loose fitting tops have front tucks. That's what that other seam line is, this one. Front and back band and front tie cording closure. Side ruffles and narrow hem, lower ruffles, and stitched hem.  Okay. Okay. Yeah, like that. Huh. I mean, okay. Sure. Crapes, shawly, crapes of change, georgette, cording, alphanumeric sizing. God, you kind of need a lot of fabric. Like, yeah, it's like one of those things like, why wouldn't I just make a dress out of this fabric? You know what I mean? That's a lot of fabric for something that's just like not, I guess it's just not my style. I guess that's all it comes down to. Okay. Ooh, this is cute. Mrs. Romper and jumpsuits. And yes, I love the ankle tie situation thing. It's a fitted bodice, which is nice. These huge sleeves, which are adorable. This is the romper. So cute. Oh, here it is without the ankle tie. This is amazing. Every, everyone's going to be making this. This is going to be their bestseller for sure. So cute. I need this.  Which obviously you can just omit. Cute. I love them all. I love them all. This is happening. Okay, crepe, shawly, charmous, and then the overlay, it would be sheer. And then there's, I guess the bodice is lined. It doesn't say, but I'm assuming the bodice is lined. Standard sizing. This is the romper. This is the jumpsuit. Oh, no, that's the overlay for the romper. This is the jumpsuit and then the romper, I guess. Yeah, and just a lined bodice. Finished bust line measurement and hip line measurement. Yeah, this is definitely happening. All the versions. All of them. So cute. Okay, now we've got, okay, this like cut out mock turtleneck. Okay, so let's see here. We've got a crop top version. We've got a full length version with like a lace inset thing. Yep, okay. Yeah, just kind of like a basic layering piece, but then they added in this little detail, which I can't tell if I like or not. You know, it's interesting, but is it weird? You know, interesting and weird. There's a fine line there. Close fitting tops or pull over with snap closing. What does that even mean? Oh, this in the back, right? Has this, I don't know what they're saying. I don't know where it snaps. The mock collar or neck band has length variations, contrast yoke, four-way stretch knits only. I don't know where. Oh, it's also a bodysuit. That's why. You know, it might have been helpful for them to use that bodysuit as a line drawing and have put her in this version, but what do I know? So yeah, bodysuits fun. All right, two-way stretch knits with 50% stretch, jerseys, rib knit, and all. Yes, stretch lace for the little inset thing, elastic for your leg openings, and snap tape for the closure. And then here's your fabric requirements and then no finished garment measurements. Yeah, okay. I mean, you could obviously redraft this so that this is closed, but all right, next up, I think, yeah, we have her pants, these plaid plants that she's wearing. Cute. There it is in like a long short. That looks the same as what she's wearing. Okay. I mean, they look great on her. They fit her really well. Oh, it's a learn to sew for fun level two. I didn't realize that. Fly front zipper. Yeah, that's, I would say level three side pocket and learn to sew a sash, but a fly front zipper, that's no joke. Shorts and tapered pants sit one inch below waist, have fly front with waistband, hook and bar closure inside seam pockets. Yeah, I don't know about learn to sew, but by all means. So the shaping here is nice.  I don't know. You know how I am about pants, especially the fitted they are, the more strong feelings I have toward them. Fabrics are wool blends, gabardine, cotton blends and crepes. Obviously my favorite cotton satin would be great for this. If it has a little bit of stretch in it, it's a little bit easier to wear, you know, because you have all that movement in the fabric. Okay, so I think these are probably, wow, you don't need a ton of fabric for any of these at all under two yards. So that's nice. And then here's your finished hip line measurement, which should be fairly close to what your actual body measurements are. So keep that in mind. Standard sizing. All right, I'm surprised that's a learn to sew pattern, honestly. Okay, here's Melissa Watson for Palmer plush, you know, Palmer plush is the people who do like the pattern adjustment. They draw all the lines on the pattern pieces. So like if you need a full bust adjustment, for example, all of those would be drawn on to the pattern pieces, making it really easy for you to learn how to make those adjustments. Okay, so this is just a button front shirt with some hemline variations. And this one had a covered button packet and looks like this one is exposed. Okay.  I got to say, though, if you made this, I'm sure it would look like a million bucks and be finished very beautifully. And, you know, you'd look great. Partially hidden button closure, shirt tail hem, top stitching. And then this one has side slits and a longer back. So I guess partial, that's interesting. So it only covers like half of it. Yeah. And I bet they're recommending like silks and stuff, right? Crate, crepe, tachine, charmeuse and poplin. I don't know, I would do like a sanded silk or some kind of like crepe back satin maybe would be nice. And then you need a whole bunch of buttons. And then here's your fabric requirements and your finished bust line measurement. And like I said, on a top, this is this measurement here. The width is sort of like your hip measurement sort of. Okay. Moving right along. We've got another little top here. This one's cute. With this little flouncy thing, you know, all of the flounce.  It's got to be comfortable, right? There it is with like some, I don't know, those are skinny pants necessarily, but they are close fitting. The length is really good. Not too tunic length and not too short. Cute. I like this one. Varied loose fitting tops have button front closure with front band, double back yoke, pleat at back collar with collar band, sleeve variations and hem band. What do they mean by double back yoke? Maybe just that it's like lined for lack of a better term? I guess. I don't know what that means.  Cute. I don't know about the contrasty version, but this one and this one, yes. Crape, crepe to sheen, poplin, shally and then you need like basically a yard of fabric. That's not bad. The one with the flounces though, is that B? No. C. Yeah, C. Why do you need so much for B? Oh, oh, because it's contrast. Okay, okay, okay. I'm losing my mind. Sorry.  I don't know that that really matters. Cute. I don't like that. I need more like fallish tops. I need more tops in general, but okay, now we've got a blouse with a lace inset and like a neck tie thing and like a half packet. Kind of a lot going on. Definitely a lot going on. That's cute. I mean, she looks very high fashion, you know, very like stylish. It certainly is a fun take on a button down shirt, right? Okay, very loose fitting blouse has front band with concealed button closure, which is really fun to sew. I've done that before. It is a very fun finish. Yoke and sleeve inset and button cuff, A to C, collar extends to tie end and B, patch pocket and shaped hemline. So B doesn't have a collar at all and A and C have this little like tie, which I actually really like. All right. Yeah, it's like, it doesn't actually tie though, which is also very interesting. It like, I don't know, is it kind of like a belt loop and it slides through? I don't know. It's hard to tell. Yeah, look at that. That's cool. Let's get a closer up picture. Yeah, it's still kind of hard to tell what's going on there, but it's not necessarily just a tie. I feel like it's like a belt loop and you just slip it through. That's cool. I like that detail a lot. That's fun. Okay, crepe, crepe machine, poplence, shally and lace. Okay, also like some cottons. I feel like this is like some kind of cotton, um, wall, you know, those kinds of things I think would also work. And then you need your buttons. Here's your fabric requirements. And then bust line and hemline measurements. This tip line would be the most important for me. Okay, now we've got a skirt and belt. Fitted skirt, pencil skirt. Yep, there's the belt that looks kind of like a cumber bun to be honest. Oh, wait, there's that belt too. Yeah, basic, basic, but in this like faux, what is that, chia? That's really nice. I do find that like with these basic patterns being able to like use a really like special fabric does elevate it a lot. The back looks lovely. There's little darts here, center back seam with a vent. Very nice. Very nice finishing. Fitted line skirts have front plates, back darts, invisible zipper, hook and bar closure and length variations. A has waistband tux. That's what that is. That's cool. I like that. C or sorry, B and C have back vent and C has a belt and carriers. I guess A is so short you don't need the vent. And honestly learning to make a belt like that that is made of self fabric, that is a skill I think everyone should know. It really, you can add them to, you know, dress waste vans and skirts and pants and it really creates a really chic look. Okay, yeah, faux leather, cotton blends, satin wool blends. So yeah, elegant, kind of like higher end stuff. You need your zipper and then your belting and all of that kind of stuff. Fabric, you probably don't need much at all because it's just a little itty-bitty skirt and then useless finished garment measurements. Standard sizing. Yeah, I mean, I don't love pencil skirts on myself, but if you do, this seems to be just as good as one as any. Then we've got those pants that the girl was wearing earlier, layers are back people like, I guess, is this princess seam? I don't know what that would be called. There they are with patch pockets. Yep. I think they use two different denoms here. That's kind of a fun concept. Oh, never mind. No, faux chaps. No. No, I don't need that much attention on my lower derriere, but in theory, cool concept. Oh my goodness. Look at that. I don't even know if I would want that in the same fabric, much less contrast fabric. Look at that. That's hysterical. Couldn't they have just made this go all the way up and kept this whole center part? Why do they have to make it like that?  Oh my goodness. Okay. Denom, twill, chino, cotton blends. Also, corduroy would be great. Heck, even like a stretched sleeve would be nice. And then there's your fabric requirements. Is C shorter? Oh no, because again, with the contrast, geez. All right, there you go. That's really funny. Okay. All right. And then we've just got two costumes. Wow, those are some interesting costumes. Okay. Well, that is going to do it for McCall's fall. I feel like we got off to a very, very strong start. And they had some really, really cute, fun, trendy, but also classic options. I love the outerwear. There's probably like three or four that I'll add to my wish list. Definitely this top. That Nicole Miller suit. This is for sure happening. I loved this one so much. Oh, also this one. So yeah, a lot of really good options here. Of course, as always, let me know what you guys think of the new collection, which patterns you'll be adding. If you're speaking specifically about a pattern, be sure to not just say the pattern number, say some detail like the jumpsuit with the ankle ties or something like that, so that I can know what you're talking about because I do not have the pattern number to memorize. If this is your first time on my channel, and this is your first of my first impression videos, first of all, welcome. Second of all, be sure to subscribe. We've still got, I think, Simplicity Fall, Butterick Fall, Quixote Fall, Winter. There's still a bunch more of these that have yet to come out, so there will be more. If you enjoyed this video, please let me know in the comment section below or give this video a thumbs up. And I will see you all very soon. Thanks for watching. Bye.


Hey, hello everyone and welcome to another show and tell it's me John Park and I'm doing special Service here of guest hosting tonight while Lady Aida and Mr. Lady Aida do Adafruit things In the in the background there. They probably keep it an eye on this too They they somehow managed to pay attention to lots of things at once but I'm gonna get this thing started and we've got a couple of people who are gonna go right away including our good friend Jay, so let me bring Jay on first and we'll chat about some projects You can come on by if you want to head to our discord It's adafruit.it slash discord and you'll see a link there for joining in if you come on We'll spend about two minutes or so each talking about a project and we'll try to get in as many as we can and then wrap This up for eight o'clock eastern time when ask an engineer starts. So first up is Jay. Hey Jay. How's it going? Hey, how's it going? All right, thanks. What have you got there today? I have my this month's digi-key project, which is a Steampunk owl that I designed and built It's very warm And then if I press this button, I got the links to move. I Love it. If I press this button, I get the links to pull it out Yes, that's adorable Yeah Oh my gosh Love the high-speed I gears there. That's fantastic. Yeah, I'm using an a fruit cricket for this one So I would have to install everything but this is definitely more of a mechanical based type of build I wanted to show people how they can use different like servos and like motors and stuff to like It's some cool like mechanical movement in their projects That is terrific And it looks like you're doing one motor for one eye and the other really is geared to just move along with it Is that right? Yeah. So this is actually the driver. That's why it has a little little thing in there You can kind of see it and this one is just in there. That's just in there and grounding against each other So this entire bill is basically a giant mechanical lesson That's really cool. I love it. It's got a great steampunk look to it Now usually give your your creations a cool name Does this guy have a have a name yet or is that in the work? I was debating on it We were talking about it earlier. I think I'm a calm of these Odysseus It's often the Greek mythology story and I'm just I'm a big mythology. So like it kind of fits Odysseus the owl That's fantastic Really cool. And so will you be posting this sharing this up online at some point video? What's what's to come? I'm showing the I'm doing a video which I'll go through my step by step process into making this and I'm gonna be writing up a blog for DigiTee. What should be coming out at the end this month Excellent, great. Well have have fun with that. Good luck with it. And we're looking forward to seeing more. Thanks. Take care All right Odysseus the owl way cool next up we've got Jen Fox bot Hey, Jen Classic Yay, I have a mute button, but it only works for teams. Oh Oh, it's a specific kind of mute. Yep So we Want one thing we wanted to talk to you about you're with Microsoft's make it team, right? And and we got this survey sent out. I think we linked to it in our Instagram recently Can you tell us what this is about and what you guys are up to? It's very mysterious. Yeah, totally So we are looking for ways to help folks who are running small businesses I before this gig and I pretend that I have time I'm still kind of doing stuff with my business, but I was running a business full-time. So I know for real how hard it is and how How much help I would have taken? And so what we're trying to do now is really figure out like where can Microsoft best plug-in? My whole thing is like let's not build stuff first and then just shove it out there Let's talk to people. What are the major challenges that people are facing? What do they need help with and and using data to really figure out like what types of tools should our team make? What types of tools should we promote to be built within Microsoft and what other types of resources can we develop to? Actually help people so we're here to listen and learn And and really to understand the needs that people have So yeah, so these are the sort of constraints around this are small-ish maker-sized entrepreneur Users is that roughly or is it bigger than that that you're looking into right now? Do you know? Yeah, so, you know the the US Census Bureau defines a small business. I think is 50 employees or less We're kind of expanding that to say like hey if you if you started a company and you grew or if you happen to work at a Company that's doing manufacturing in the United States. We would love to hear from you If you're developing products, we would love to hear from you You know the Biden administration is also really interested in and made in the US Manufacturing and that's that's really where we would love to plug in whether you're a solo entrepreneur Or aiming to build a giant startup and everything in between, you know, I don't think that all businesses need to scale I think they're all very important and I'm you know me and my team and Microsoft are really interested in figuring out How do we help people run businesses? How do we help people? More people build businesses And right now we're really focused on the US Yeah, so sorry so you're in the gathering This is the gathering phase right now and then you have sort of steps that you'll be going through to analyze that and Yeah, what you want to actually make out of it really yeah cool Very interesting that Microsoft's doing that. Well, thanks. Thanks for sharing that info If I understand correctly you also have a project you might be able to show us that you've been working on related to Corvids crows, right? Yeah I'm gonna really quickly do a quick The link for the survey is aka ms slash maker entrepreneur survey all one word Great way to have your voice heard and feel free to reach out on to us on Twitter. If you have any questions Cool. Okay. Now I get to do the other fun thing. I'm gonna switch my camera Project time okay, so Okay, yeah, so this is fun so My team worked with Adafruit and a product in Microsoft called lobe, which is a no-code way to build image classification machine learning models and so Lamar Came up with this brain craft hat and we were like this is amazing Let's do some machine learning stuff and make it easier to put on hardware And so I'm using this kit to build a device to train crows to clean up the neighborhood in exchange for food So this is version 2.0. I'm using a gumball machine that I hacked So you hit the switch? Nurtains me every single time Food it'll take a picture and then I'm gonna use the The pictures to build a machine learning model so that I can number one make sure that squirrels aren't gaming my system and Yeah, that the crows aren't gaming the system by bringing me sticks and leaves instead of trash That's excellent. I love it Thank you. It's fun So what kinds of what kinds of trash do you think they can get for you? I'm just flattened cans and McDonald's wrappers that kind of stuff.  Um, I I'm one of those people that I like I will go around my neighborhood if I'm walking the dog or something and just like pick up Trash, but I will not touch cigarette butts because that's gross I imagine that the Corvids are not, you know, they're probably not gonna get the same types of Diseases that humans guess so that's a little bit safer for them Yeah, and what do you know about? What do you know about their favorite foods? What are you gonna? Is there a particular thing that they would really work hard for that, you know? The the the people that know way more than me say walnuts. So I'm gonna go with their expertise Excellent. Oh, I love it. I love crows the ones that we have around here I have on multiple occasions seen them Push a nut out into the road and then come back and stand on the curb and watch a car crush it So they're using a car as a tool using a human to use a car as a tool to get the nut open, which is just like I Saw that they did that to me a couple of weeks ago. I saw it drop the nut and I was like I got you So smart Love it. Oh, that's great. Well, thank you and we're really interested to see updates on both of these on the Entrepreneurship survey as you guys go as well as your crow Device so come on back. Thanks. Thanks for coming by today. Yay. Thank you for having me And we'll put a link in the discord for for the more I put I posted a forms link I don't know if it's the right one. Thank you. They're really sure thing. Yeah, the more data the better So excellent listening and learning. That's the way to go Alright Take care Alright next up. We got knowing Pedro And we're all big. Hey go to this size. There we are. I don't know That was so cool. I thought that was that robot from mystery science. What is that? 3,000 whatever Yeah, somebody had one the other day What is it? Yeah, so this week apologies no 3d hangouts like internet went down right before the show and you know Everybody has a recurring theme like during your show like you have Lars like every time that we start the show We have like a lawnmower going by and he didn't show up this week. So we were like, oh, that's why there was no internet This week Phil or Lamar, I don't know like they email each other stuff They're like no I prayed to build that so Lamar saw this really cool lamp to remake of I don't know It was like on sale somewhere and they're like just use a couple of Neopixels So just made like this cut sort of like gravity-defying like design for it It's just using like the 60 Neopixel the 24 to 24 is and then a 16 a cool thing that I like about it on the back is it's all modular so you can take the whole thing apart We're using all of the Connectors So they're super easy to connect and take apart and all of the parts are all you know just snap fit So the entire thing will do it break it all of course, but everything is all snap fit together I love it using the reservoir pipe pico. You can see on the bottom there You have access to that and the little base you can change that around to like fit whatever decor you have in your house and Yeah, just the translucent PLA and yeah I'm code LAD animation library cannot forget that. Yeah, super good to use animation library for a circuit Python Yeah, I love the I love the look of that and yet the animation library makes life so much easier for doing this kind of stuff You know separate Exactly even though it looks like you have it just on a single single pin, right?  So like there's like a weird little thing happening in your room there. You're like just let me But we'll be back Yeah, we'll be back next week for three hangouts the guide in the video and all that stuff came out 360 so you can like modify it of course all the three part 3d parts Components, so if you want to like model your own stuff and the way I did a good job of LEDs you can get it on Yeah, so you can grab all that design all you want around it and that's it Really great lamp. Thanks for coming by and showing that See you next week All right, let's see next up. We've got Scott tan newt who is a screen Hello, can you hear me Scott? I do hear you. Yes. What's happening? What's new? So this is not my camera. This is not me obviously instead. What it's doing is it's capturing the output of a Raspberry Pi Over HDMI and I've added some things so I first wanted to show that I can Import microcontroller and I can do microcontroller.cpu.temperature And now we're getting the temperature in Celsius, which is cool. We could also be frequency And so it's just around 600 megahertz right now You don't usually see that in a in a in a circuit Python or micro Python. I know and this is this is slow So we could actually get this number even even higher which is exciting And then I also did the unique ID So that's the unique idea of the of the particular pilot I've got And then the other thing I did is and we'll see how the capture does it with this but I added the ability to change The screen size that you're doing so if you've ever done display IO, you'll know that we need to We need to do the release displays, but I'm going to import a couple things first so The way that it works is from the video core we get a frame buffer and then we use frame buffer IO to produce a display so You're actually going to miss it because I'm going to do display IO dot Release displays and now you won't be able to see because I will disappear But then if I do FB equals video core A frame buffer in 1920. Oh, yeah, sorry No, it's all right by 1080. I didn't think that we've gone dark. Oh good. Good idea Where's this transmission? Yeah, so I'm I'm redoing it at half the size of 1080p so 960 by 540 and then It should show up here once I Type it in and now I But now it's just it should be a different size and it should be yeah So it had the reset everything because the displays got reset, but it should be a different size and yeah I could have done full 1080p as well, but it's a little slow and confirm that looks like it's half the size Yeah So this will will default it to something really easy to use and then folks will be able to pick kind of the Resolution that they want after the fact with us awesome work And you should be able to take over the display and do all the normal display. I have stuff too Because they're if you do import board There's now board that display as well But yeah, uh-huh. There it is getting close to getting it out to folks Really cool, and will you be working on that on a deep dive this Friday? I will be and No deep dive next week Right on excellent. Well great work. Thanks for continuing to bring circuit Python micro Python to the actual Raspberry Pi Ah, no problem.  Very cool. Hey, look, there's Scott. All right. Yeah, thanks Scott just in time to say goodbye All right, let's see next up. We've got Joey Get ready because here we go. Hey Joey. Hey John. How's it going? Good. Nice to see you. Good to see you too So I have been working on Twitter probably people have seen this little gadget called the sensor watch It's a little Cassio wristwatch with a board swap. We got like, you know different time systems temperature sensors things like that But that's not actually what I'm here to show today because all right I mean that's the issue of I want to develop things to the watch But I don't want to take it apart constantly So I wanted to make a development board for the watch and this is very ate a fruit oriented because I thought I should make It in the shape and size of a feather Neat so this is the same kind of functions as the watch it's got this little mode button here. You got the you know Turn the light on it's not not underneath. Obviously. Yeah, but what's cool about it is yeah It's just plugged into a board doubler here So this feather could actually be useful for someone doing you know a solar powered project or something else That wants to be low power and my feather wing I'm actually really proud about this or stoked about it. I guess I should say It's all just parts you can get off of a different website. So it's just like that piezo buzzer nicely done Yeah, you have them right to be led. It's all just like you know center through all parts So it's very easy for folks to you know get this little dev board and make their little wing that has their you know Sensor watch peripherals so to speak and and it can also be the sensor clock for people who want the complete Collection totally totally your that your sensor does the desk clock as it were. Yeah. Hey, I have to tell you Joey you're You're diving into building the sensor watch made me finally Decide to go and get an actual oh awesome. You know, what is it the F? 91 class of class. I've never had one. I had a g-shock way back When those came out, but I missed these I never got one of these so I just bought one for $16 a couple weeks ago No, they're really happy with it. Yeah, they're super accessible. They're super fun like yeah And my son who's a he's 18 and he saw it and he's like I want to get one of those Which is a rarity when you're you know Adult dad parent to have a kid say hey that thing that you've got that would be cool for me, too So it kind of transcends generations apparently very awesome And so with your sensor watch that you've got this dev board now So you can really work on it at sort of a bigger scale and And then you're gonna be rolling that soft that software or hardware and software into Yeah, just just one different build target But then yeah anything you write for this you can put onto this and my hope is actually I really want to get Python running on this because it's a it's a Sam chip. It feels like it should be reasonable to do it I just need to buckle down and figure it out amazing work Yeah, it's really cool one other thing just a just a quick advisory I I'm giving a talk at hackaday remote a con on Saturday about LCD technology So if anyone's interested in that sort of thing, you know, check it out excellent. Yeah People go go to remote a con or if you go to hackaday, you'll find links to it and look up Joey's chat That's very cool. Thanks. Yeah, good to see it All right, let's see next up. We've got foamy guy Hey, all right. Hey JP So I Have yeah, thank you I have been working on this if folks are familiar with a thing called the method of lochi There's a Wikipedia article here. You can learn about it It's basically a technique for memorization Where you try to picture a an environment a 3d environment that you're really familiar with so lots of folks could use their house or their neighborhood or something like that And you imagine yourself kind of moving through a journey through that Environment and you try to associate different ideas with different parts of the journey. So maybe You could think of something at the front door and think of something at the coat hook after you get inside and so on and so forth You just store these different ideas in the different Locations and it's supposed to make it easier to recall them in order because you can always imagine yourself going through That journey. So I've been experimenting with bringing that core idea into Games. I've always been pretty good at memorizing game maps. So I made this little map here using Tiled map editor. This is just the same tool that you would make a video game map for if you were going to do that It's built on a JavaScript library called phaser And we can run around inside here and I've got these little signs and when I run into the sign It will load the right-hand side of the page with whatever information I've stored at that location And I can put more of these signs in here. I can have different stuff on each one of them So I got another one inside of here can load up a list this side over here works with markdown So you can add, you know bullet points you can add images you can add Style like bold and italic and all of that sort of stuff and it's real easy for me to just go in and You know edit the text that's on all of these so I think it's going to be a cool tool that I can use To start keeping track of information a little bit better Yeah, I see so so part of the central premise here is that you are finding Things that you want to look up and read that you're not trying to memorize that whole list But just like where did I put that list is associated with this sort of spatial map? Yeah, that's going to be my goal Some folks do use it to remember like specific data like they'll use this to memorize a deck of cards or a big long string In numbers or something like that But that's my my idea more so is to keep it there and go back to find it And so I have just the small proof of concept map made so far I just kind of got the basics working But I intend to expand it out a little bit and make a little neighborhood inside of here and Put a bunch of signs in there and load it up. So that is tremendous Yeah, you know, I am terrible with directions in the real world But I definitely over over my lifetime have come to know Maps in like first person shooter games really well just something about Shear wrote doing it a lot Probably but it seems like with This more third person view you can have landmarks and things that are that are a little more Higher level Process instead of just inside of a hallway Yeah, that's definitely my goal is going to be to load it up with like little gardens and flowers and you know Buckets and they got all kinds of little tiles I can load up in there. So Oh, that's really terrific But yeah, great work. We look forward to seeing more about this I'd love to to get to play around with it at some point once you're ready to share it out there Cool. Yeah, definitely will do. Thanks. Awesome. Thanks Tim. Bye. Yep All right, and I think last up we've got Michael There Michael, how are you doing? How are you? Good? Thanks. What's new this week?  It's actually in the gallery at My university universities are building. So I took some Images of it on display here next to some of my other work So yeah, it lights up it has a ton of neopixels. This is it with the top off It's actually two separate pieces that were 3d printed So it just like slides right on to each other Uh, and it has the iSpy display and yeah all sorts of fun stuff in there Um, and then that's it next to some graphics I made and here's just a short little clip of it And then yeah, I made a little name tags for everyone too that are laser engraved. Oh, which is pretty fun. It's really nice Um, and yeah, beautiful work lights up and stuff. So yeah, it's pretty fun And then yeah, there's the little name tags Oh, yeah Oh, it's really great work. Uh, thank you. Thank you for sharing that. So, uh, what kind of information are you displaying? I can't remember if you explained that before uh with with the iSpy display there Yeah, so right now I have it just displaying the distance sensor information In inches With the other piece over I found with the Lighting like the spotlight. It was actually kind of messing it up with the shadow But when I took it off it was reading correct information Um, my general idea was to have it actually like print off something That it would be more interactive. Um, but I would have had to completely re-engineer it to make it work more Right. Well, it's beautiful. It's beautiful as as is so congrats on on completing that and getting it into the gallery Thank you. And uh, how how long will that be there? Can people who are in your area go and see it for a little while? Uh, yeah, it's it'll be up for a little bit. It's in the keel gallery G10 gallery in st. Claude minnesota. So yeah Excellent. Oh, that's really terrific. All right. Well, uh, thanks and and great work and we love seeing the stuff You're doing so come on back any time Awesome. Thank you Bye. Bye uh, all right, I think that is uh, gonna do it and um I also just wanted to say I am going to be doing my uh, workshop show tomorrow And then I'm off next week So there actually won't be a product pick or a workshop show next week for Thanksgiving week And I misspoke yesterday when I said I'd be doing those things because I completely forgot that hey, that's Thanksgiving So, uh, I'll see you tomorrow, but then I'll I'll be off for a week Thanks again to everyone for coming by with all of your great projects Go to our discord to check out some links to a lot of these That's a great place to find people a lot of the people who've been on the show until hang out there You can chat with them ask questions find links to their work And uh, next up in just three Of your earth minutes we have lady aida and mr. Lady aida with ask an engineer That'll be at eight o'clock eastern time So thanks everyone and uh, I will see you soon. Bye. Bye


Once an assignment has been distributed to students, here's what they'll see from their end. They'll receive an email from CrowdMark Mailer that there is a new assignment waiting for them on CrowdMark. They'll click on this link to go to the assignment, and they'll be prompted to sign in with email and password or through their school LMS. Here's the assignment submission page that tells students the due date and time, and if they click this, it will let them know if there is a lateness penalty set by the instructor. The question contents are here as well as the maximum points for each question. Students can complete their work on paper or on their computer, save the image as a JPEG or the work as a PDF file, and simply drag and drop their images here. Multiple pages can be uploaded to a single question and then later dragged to the question content boxes below. I can open these pages to see what they look like. I can rotate a page and I can delete a page by clicking on the X. I can drag the pages to the boxes below, click the submit pages for evaluation, and take a moment to review my submission by scrolling to the bottom of my screen. I can submit as many times as I like before the due date. Once the due date is passed, we'll no longer be able to resubmit. You can only submit once for the first time after the due date. If I go back to my course, Calculus I here, I can see the status of my submission, and if I click on this status submitted in this case, I can see a log of all the actions that I've taken. I get the green message that the submission processing has been completed, and I know that my assignment has been successfully submitted.


This talk will be about the theorem due to Burnside, which states that if we have a group G, which is order the form P to the M times Q to the N for primes P and Q, then G is solvable. We're going to prove this using character theory, which is similar to Burnside's original proof. And for many years, it was an open problem to find a proof of this that didn't use character theory. There was a proof and found a few decades ago, but it's much, much harder than the proof using character theory. So the proof makes use of the center of the group ring. So suppose you call the center of the group ring CG, suppose you call this R. So this is the integral group ring rather than the complex group ring. And this is a basis as a Z module consisting of the elements where you just sum over all elements of the conjugacy class. And it's very easy to check that these span the center of the group ring. Now suppose V is an irreducible representation of G. It's an irreducible complex representation. Then we get a homomorphism from the center of the group ring to the endomorphism ring of V. And in fact, since V is irreducible, this must lie in the center of the endomorphism ring and the center of the endomorphism ring of V is just the ring of complex numbers C. So for every irreducible representation, we get a homomorphism from this ring R to the complex numbers. And we can write it down explicitly as follows. So it takes the element, if we sum over all elements of some conjugacy class, it takes this element chi of C times the size of the conjugacy class divided by the dimension of the irreducible representation V. So V has character chi and this is of course the size of the conjugacy class C. And the reason for this is that if you look at this expression here, this is just the trace of sum over C and C of C because each element of C has traced chi of C and there are this number of them. And we have to divide it by the dimension of the representation because if you've got an element of the center of a representation, then the trace is equal to A times the dimension of the representation. So to find out what A is, you have to divide by the dimension. So you notice from this, we're going to show that this number here is an algebraic integer. So chi of C times C divided by kind of one is an algebraic integer. It's pretty trivial to show that chi of C is an algebraic integer because it's just a sum of eigenvalues of C which are roots of unity. So it's much more interesting to say that you can divide it by the dimension of the representation provided you put in this factor here. And this is quite easy to show because we look at the homomorphism from the center of the group ring to the complex numbers. We notice the image is a subring of C and is finitely generated as a Z module because R is finitely generated as a Z module. So the elements are algebraic integers because if you've got a subring of the complex numbers that's finitely generated as a Z module, its elements are algebraic integers. In particular, this is the image of a certain element of R under this homomorphism. So this is also an algebraic integer. And we can give an application of this. The application is that chi of one, the dimension of the representation divides the order of the group G. And you can see this because by the orthogonality relations for characters, we know that the order of G is just sum over all conjugacy classes of the size of the conjugacy class times chi of the conjugacy class times chi bar of the element of the conjugacy class. So this is just the saying that the norm of the character chi is equal to G. Now what we can do is we can just divide both sides by chi of one. And we notice that this bit here is an algebraic integer because we just said so up there. And this bit here is also an algebraic integer because it's a sum of roots of unity. So this is an algebraic integer and as this side is rational this side must be an integer. So the dimension of any irreducible representation divides the order of the group G. By the way, this only holds for complex representations. For example, if we take G to be the group of order three then it has an irreducible representation on two dimensional real vector space because you can just rotate by third of a revolution. And the dimension of this is two which certainly doesn't divide the order of G, which is three. So this also fails for algebraically closed fields of characteristic greater than zero. The dimension of an irreducible representation need not divide the order of a group. So now we move on to Burnside's theorem. So suppose G is order P to the M, Q to the N. So we want to show that G is solvable. Well, by induction it's enough to show that if G is simple, that if G is simple this implies G is cyclic because a minimal counter-example to this must be simple and if it's cyclic that means it's solvable. Now, if G has order P to the M, Q to the Ns G has a conjugacy class of order, a power of P. At least if sort of order P to the K for some K because we can just take an element of the center of a Silov subgroup of order Q to the N and that will have the centralizer of that will have index of power of P. So the conjugacy class is order of power of P. So it's enough to show that if G is simple is any simple group with a conjugacy class with a non-trivial conjugacy class of order of power of P, order of power of any prime then G is cyclic. So this is what we're going to prove in the rest of the talk. We can now forget about G being a product of two primes because this is the only thing we're going to, this is the only thing we're going to prove. So in order to do this, what we do is we first look at the orthogonality relations. So we know that if we sum overall characters Chi we have Chi of one times Chi of C is equal to zero. So here we're taking C to be a non-trivial conjugacy class of order of power of a prime. Say let's call this prime P. Well, one term in this is if we take the trivial character Chi one of one then Chi one of C is equal to one. So this is equal to one. So we can find some character Chi not equal to the trivial character. So that first of all Chi of one is not divisible by P and secondly Chi of C is not equal to zero because if every character was either dimension divisible by P or Chi of C equals zero then all terms in this other than the first term would be divisible by P. So there's some couldn't be equal to zero. And what we're going to do is just to use these two facts get with the fact that the size of the conjugacy class C is power of prime. And we're just going to deduce from this that if G is simple, then it must be cyclic. And this is kind of rather remarkable because we don't really seem to have enough information to prove anything much about G. I mean, these two facts that Chi of one not divisible by P and Chi of C not being zero both seem to be very weak pieces of information to use. So how do we do this? Well, first of all we recall the number A which is Chi of C times the size of C divided by Chi of one is an algebraic integer. Secondly, we notice that the order of C and Chi of one are co-prime because this is a power of P and this is not divisible by P. So what we want to show is that if we emit this factor C then Chi of C divided by Chi of one is still an algebraic integer. And that's quite easy because since these two are co-prime you know that M times Chi of one plus N times order of C is equal to one for some M, N. And then if we take the number we know that Chi of C times the order of C is equal to A times Chi of one where A is this algebraic integer. And we can now just write Chi of C is equal to Chi of C times M Chi of one plus N times the order of C because that's just one which is equal to Chi of C times M times Chi of one plus N Chi of C times the order of C. And we know this is divisible by Chi of one and this is divisible by Chi of one by what we set up there. So Chi of C divided by Chi of one is an algebraic integer. So that's where we use the fact that the conjugacy classes order of power of P we can take out this factor here. And we also notice that this is not equal to zero because Chi of C is not equal to zero. And now it's fairly easy to finish off because we look at the number Chi of C over Chi of one and Chi of C is a sum of Chi of one roots of unity. So all conjugates of Chi of C over Chi of one are sum of Chi of one roots of unity divided by Chi of one. So they have absolute value less than or equal to one. And now we look at the norm of this algebraic number which is the product of all conjugates. Well, the product of all conjugates of an algebraic integer is an integer and it can't be zero because Chi of C is none zero. So is greater than or equal to one. And if you've got a product of numbers that are all less than or equal to one and the product is greater than or equal to one we see that Chi of C over Chi of one is just actually of absolute value equal to one. And now we'll show that from this fact that if G is simple then it must be set click. So we know that Chi of C is equal to Chi of one and this is a sum of Chi of one roots of unity. Well, the only way the sum of Chi of one roots of unity can be equal to Chi of one and absolute value is these roots of unity must all be the same. So Chi of C is just equal to Chi of one times Zeta for some root of unity. And now if G is simple, this implies that the conjugacy class C is in the center of the image of Chi in the ring of endomorphisms of V. So if the image of Chi in here must be non-trivial which means that C must actually be in the center of G which as Chi is simple implies Chi is set click. So this concludes the proof of Burnside's theorem that any group of order divisible by most two primes must be solvable. This is of course best possible because if you've got a group of order 60 this gives you the group A5 which is not simple and this is divisible by three different primes. In fact, another fairly easy theorem you can prove using the transfer says that if you've got a simple non-sicclet group then the smallest prime dividing it must divide it to at least the second power. And if you combine this with Burnside's theorem it immediately implies that any group of order less than 60 cannot possibly be simple because the minimum possible order is divisible by at least three primes and the smallest prime must be prepared twice. So this is obviously the smallest possible order.


Don't already know me and today I'm going to be showing you guys some unique crafts to make your sorority little So the big little gifts differ from each school I know a lot of southern schools give like baskets throughout the week But for my sorority we give a little gift each day leading up to big little reveal and then on an initiation We give them a big basket filled with everything KD because after that there are official members of Kappa Delta so they can put their decal on their car and stuff like that I am for sure gonna do a video on what I got my little four initiation And I'm so excited to do that video initiation was supposed to be today But because of Hurricane Matthew we had to postpone it even though it's like super sunny outside But everyone pretty much went home after this video. I will be uploading my big little reveal vlog So get excited for that so every day with each of these gifts We give them a little hint and kind of telling them who we are for example If some people have random bags they will actually try to like help them out and help them guess who it is But if the little already kind of has an idea of who their big is the big kind of tries to throw them off So they kind of lie and their hints so for example some of my lies where I'm from Florida Which yes, I was born here, but I'm like not really from Florida I only lived here for like three years when I was born and then I have two dogs which I don't I don't think she even Knew that I had a dog, which I don't know how I literally talk about Nuchi all the time And then I said I was the same major as her which she knows I'm an RTV pending student and she's an ad PR But she told me that she knew the whole entire time and she was just like yeah I was just playing along with it, but I'm happy she did play along with it because if she was like, oh my god You're my big like aren't you I would have felt so awkward with every gift We put a note and sometimes people will put candy like the last day. I did the shadow box I thought that was kind of plain So I decided to get her four mini cupcakes and a Starbucks gift card And I want to spoil her even more because I don't know I just love giving gifts and like seeing people happy So one day I actually went to Tugia max got a basket and filled it with like really cute goodies I got some double stuffed Oreos because she only like stubble stuffed like mother like daughter And then I got lotion and then a candle and a mug and just like all those really cute things And then I had it delivered to her because obviously I couldn't give it to her But I was in the same room and she like literally turned red because she was so like embarrassed and it was really funny Obviously I went kind of extreme with a gift giving and honestly any little would be happy with just these DIYs So please do not feel like you need to spend like all this money just to like make them happy I swear your little is gonna love you no matter what so don't even worry about it So for each gift I kind of went on Pinterest and just got some ideas and then put my own spin on it So I personally think these ideas are pretty unique and I'm so excited to share them with you guys And if you just got your little congratulations, and maybe you can share this video with her So she can kind of get an idea of crafting for next year All right, let's get on to the DIYs on the first day We give our little's candles and some people buy them and some people DIY them You're gonna need any wine or martini glass Then this little mirror plate and I found this at Hobby Lobby for four dollars Then get some fake flowers. My sorority's flower is the white rose Then a plain white candle Then some super glue and I actually recommend gorilla glue over this one Then the best part of this DIY is this liquid leaf and I'm literally obsessed with this I put it on everything you'll see in this video. So to get started I'm taking my liquid leaf and painting the bottom of the glass gold while we wait for that to dry We can start on designing our candle I decided to do a simple strip on my candle. So I took this painter's tape to make it really clean Next we can paint the mirror part and I didn't want to cover the whole mirror So I did this simple strip just like on the candle To define the white rose. I wanted to paint the edges of the petals with this gold leaf This DIY is a little bit everywhere because we were trying to wait for everything to dry But now we can go back to our candle and rip the painter's tape off So I just hot glued the rose to the mirror because it was a lot thicker than the super glue So it made it stand up better Then we can kind of place our glass on top of the mirror just to see where we want it to go and then super glue it And finally we can super glue the candle to the base of the glass I would say this candle is more for decoration purposes But I love this idea of kind of tying in your sorority symbols with it The second day we gave our little letters. It could be a katie or their initials I got these marquis letters at michael's they were having a sale on them So they were four dollars each it was insane and then I just took these old jeans and cut them up So the first thing I'm doing is tracing the letter on the jeans and try to overline it because you're going to want that extra fabric to distress The next step is to cut the letter out and like I said before try to leave more space than less If it is a little short in some areas you can kind of stretch it out and super glue it where it needs to be So now we're going to distress the jeans and I actually found that once I super glued the jeans onto the letter It was a lot easier and less dangerous to distress them. So that's just a tip for when you guys recreate this Next you're going to want to make the holes for the marquis lights And I know I showed it a hole puncher, but that did not work So make sure you have an exacto knife to do this The last step is to glue it all down and your diy is ready You can obviously do this diy with any fabric My little actually really likes denim and I thought it looked so trendy and cool This candy jar diy isn't really a gift on its own for a certain day But I decided to give it to her with the letters So first you're going to want to get a jar and fill it with swedish fish And then trace the top of the mason jar on a sheet of paper And then you can write out of all the fish in the sea. You are the little for me I should have wrote this more centered because it was kind of cut off by the lid But then you're just going to super glue the paper onto the lid I thought it was a little plain so I added a white bow I was actually pretty lucky because my little's favorite candy was swedish fish But if your little likes chocolate instead, you can still do this diy just for the show and just give her like a box of chocolates too The third day we were supposed to give them any sort of picture board or bulletin board For this diy, I needed a canvas some mini clothes pins, gorilla glue, an ombre of paints and then some suede string So first I'm going to be painting the bottom quarter with my lightest color, which was white I know that the canvas is already white, but I wanted it to show a little bit of texture Then I'm going in with my next ombre color and I'm just going to be doing the same thing You can mix paints, but I just wanted to save myself that hassle plus these paints were pretty cheap Then repeating the step with the darkest gray And finally we're going to go in with black Then when the whole canvas is dry, we're going to use our liquid leaf and put your sorority's name on the canvas I wrote kappa delta on this canvas with pencil before I did the gold paint because I did not want it to mess up Even though I still did Then taking the same gold paint we're going to be painting our clothes pins Next we're going to be using that fox suede cord at first I wanted to do gray, but it kind of like all clashed So I went with black and I'm just positioning this so that the clothes pin doesn't block the kappa delta Then I'm gorilla gluing the fox suede cord into place The last step is to just print out pictures of your little obviously you can't be in them unfortunately because They don't know who you are just yet, but you can always take some off her instagram or facebook That's just what I did And on the last day of big little gifts we give our littles our family poem For this diy you're going to need a shadow box some scrapbooking paper and just some things that you might want to put in it So for example, I use kd and white rose So first I just pinned these scrapbooking paper and then I kind of laid everything out how I wanted it to be And then pinned everything down This diy is really plain, but it's kind of meant for them to make it their own I told my little to put her bid day card in there and maybe her pin when she gets it Another tip for you guys is try looking at walmart before you go into hobby lobby or michaels because this memory box was 10 dollars at walmart and at michaels It was 30 for the same dimensions like what the heck I hope you guys really enjoyed all my diy's comment down below your favorite diy from this video Mine would probably be the denim marquee letters because I love anything with like christmas lights in them There are going to be two more sorority videos after this a what I got for my little and a big little reveal vlog I also made a really cute video of the actual big little reveal It's on capital to ucf's youtube channel So if you guys want to check that out too, then the link will be down below I will see you guys in my next video. Bye guys
