Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching today. So this week I have got a few things kind of random but I've got these three lovely colors of wool or yarn. So they're £1.99 each from Poundstretcher. They're called colors so I've got this lovely vibrant pink turquoise and this yellowy color. They do load but I wanted these three. I love to make pom-poms, I like them hanging in my craft room. I have the pom-pom makers but you can just use like we used to do in school. Circular piece of card and then just wrap it all around. So but yeah I thought they were really lovely colors and I might do some weaving as well actually thinking about it because I haven't done that for a while and I do enjoy it. So anyway pick those ones up. I love those colors and £1.99 each I thought that was quite a bargain. Then on Saturday me and my mum went to a local town called Tabastock, really lovely and they have like a market on there. Well the market's on every day actually but it's just a bit more of an atmosphere on a Saturday. So there's this lady there who's got a really nice craft kind of shop and she had this here which was a ribbon lace bargain pack for a pound and you can see there there's absolutely tons in here. Now I know you're going to look and think well they're not great colors but for me they are and I love these you know these are fluorescent. This is actually that's ribbon that's the thinner same but in a thinner you know width there they're both a satin ribbon. This here is like the high vis kind of trim imagine that around like when people are cycling on their bikes but it's beautiful it's going to make such a nice bow. It is actually more fluorescent than it's actually picking up in camera here but I think that's going to look lovely as handles on gift bags and there's loads quite a lot there you can see how thick that is. Then I've got all these I've got these fluorescent I've got woven ones there I've got the pinks in different lengths so I've got all different widths sorry I've got they're the woven ones and then I've got the satins there in the larger medium and small. Again there's quite a nice amount on there when you think some places charge you know just for that they charge you a pound so this I'm not too sure about maybe if I'm doing something for a little girl maybe like a unicorn kind of card I could maybe use it for something I'll never throw it away because there will always be some time that it will come in handy that was quite nice I'll be doing that using this this is a Easter happy Easter a nice amount there look nice on a card or you know on a gift bag or something and then I've got all these here all slightly different different widths different textures different fabrics and then black some it's one of these ones that you don't really think you need and then something comes up and I'm like I could really do with some black but the nice thing about this is it's thin so I've got some thick black and I've got some velvet black there's some really nice thin ones here really good quality as well so and there's a satin one there and then brown again not something I go to a lot but now I'm doing more magazine commissions I do get asked to do like specific kind of themes um so I'm no doubt they might ask me to do like a woodland or something with to do with nature or even again more masculine cards it's things like this that will come in really handy that's a really nice textured one there again thinner ones the green one I don't like that that is that like plastic it's really rough can you hear it I hate that again it's okay to put double-sided tape on maybe stick directly down but to make bows and stuff no don't like that so I've got two of them they're really rough on the edges so don't like them this is beautiful it's like an organza polka dot really nice and there's quite a lot there so it's like a meter and a half so and again in this beautiful olive color and they actually go quite nice together so there's that and then some nice tartan so I thought that was quite good as well again if I get asked to do any kind of commission work and you never know it might come in handy and then this here is more like wrapping if I show you here if it works how I think it will just take that off it it should be okay for yeah there we go so that'd be fine for wrapping some presents there's loads there actually and then that one there again perfect for more masculine style cards so I will take these all out and have them all hanging which is how I display my ribbons so then I can see them better but you can see there it's quite cool so yeah so that was a good find for a pound and it's really unusual stuff it's not stuff that I would go out and pick up and buy you know a whole roll of say that but when it came together like that I thought actually that's really good value so I'm going to grab that so what else do we get we always like to do the charity shops in Tavistock because they have loads it's a real nice independent town it's the same as like Totnes that we have near where I live and the reason I love going to those places is they're not taken over by huge high street chains you just don't find them there it's lots of independent shops and that's why I love it so much so we popped into one of the charity shops and there was a whole bin full of all these really lovely cottons here so I don't do cross stitch I have done it in the past and I do enjoy it but it's just something that I have so many other things I like to do and for me it's my watercolouring and stuff that I prefer to do in my downtime so I've got these because I do find that sometimes I need like just a little bit of string or a tiny bow or something to kind of maybe dangle something off of the side of maybe a mini album or something so we had all these and there was no price on the thing I just got all these together and you can see all these lovely colours here and the dear lady at the till when she got there she said oh a pound so I've got all of this for a pound I got you again it was brilliant so yeah I've got all that ribbon and then I got all of this and again things like this in the shops these on their own you know they're not cheap eight meters on each of these so yeah I think I've got enough there now I don't need to be here looking at buying that anymore but I'm going to sort it out and find somewhere to keep that all nice and safe then I picked up these which are brilliant and I am going to try and find more so these are bridal rose petals again they're quite old I don't know this looks like it's I don't know it's got the barcode there but it doesn't look like it's new stuff but then I haven't been into bridal shop for a long time so anyway it's 99p and I use this in my scrapbook layout on Sunday and basically what I do is I put a hole punch in the bottoms of all of the petals so I just went through and maybe selected like an odd number so five punched holes and then overlap them all and put a brad through the middle and you create a really lovely flower so you can see there and then I done a smaller layer on top because there are different sizes in here it's packed full packed full of these lovely petals and then you can go down a size like so and then go around again and then I use them on the scrapbook layout and it looked really nice put a lovely decorative brad through the middle but how nice are they going to look on cards and they are so soft so therefore you know they're they're lined nice and flat so it's not going to you know cost you too much more in postage and stuff but what a lovely you know way to use them so yeah don't throw these at a wedding because I don't know what they oh they would have probably been to decorate your table and stuff like that I would imagine but I'd love to get hold of some you know white ones and maybe like a light pink but um I'm not going to pay out a lot for them so I'll just keep looking out again in charity shops and see if I can find them so but yeah a pound for all of that and I've already made a few flowers and there's still so much in there you do get a few leaves in there as well there was a rogue white one which was a bit random but anyway so that was another good find then when I'm out and about I pop in the works we've got quite a few of them in different little kind of towns and villages and stuff so these are new ones I use these again in my scrapbook layout and I did say that they've got new colors in so this is the pink and the yellow I haven't seen these in there so I guess they've yeah got some new stock coming in really nice I love using these and yeah you'll see me using them loads and I also use them on the scrapbook layout on Sunday these are metal adhesive embellishments so I used the strip that was at the bottom there but they're metal hearts and they look lovely they really finish off your projects nicely so again a pound you can't go wrong at those prices and then I picked up these now I know I got some metal ones a couple of weeks ago but these are slightly thicker and they're more of a like a gun metal so they're slightly darker they're not as delicate as the other ones those ones were had lots of bits cut out of them whereas these are solid so they're just metal leaves and you get 10 in there so yeah it was a couple of bits I just got when I was in the works oh and also got those how lovely are they they're gonna look lovely distressed you could add you know some of your inks to the the ends of the petals and I like that you get all different sizes and it's a real nice white color there so they're going to get used probably on a scrapbook layout or maybe on the top of a gift box or something that look really pretty but again for the price I don't think that's too bad and then I popped into hobby craft and just got these I didn't actually get anything else in there but these I haven't seen before 372 and what I liked about them is they're a matte silver and a matte gold so again these silver ones here they look more like a metal and they're perfect for when you're using when you're creating masculine cards and you just want maybe some texture to them some dimension rather than glitter and bling these are perfect so and they almost look like you know they could be like a bolt or something so if you're doing like a tall themed you know kind of card or project then they work well for that so I've bought them for that reason and that I hadn't seen them and you do get a lot there so they're last to me so that was those ones from hobby craft then I popped into Wilkinson's I had to get some boring stuff but I always just looked down the craft dial it is more kind of aimed at kids but I did like these and I've got an idea for a scrapbook layout and I liked this here with the ice creams so that's a sticker pad just bringing up there and these are 75p so again just cheap and cheerful but I quite liked those ones and these are just nice because they're small puffy stickers but I thought they'd look nice on some of my scrapbook layouts and now we're coming into the spring and the summer my layouts will become more colorful and vibrant so these things will get used oh I also picked up that one from the same lady from that little craft store this was 250 I love the woodware stamps they're just such good quality but I hadn't got any since I've been doing my Easter projects I'm looking for my Easter stamps and I haven't got just any good simple greetings so I've got this nice font here with Easter greetings and then Happy Easter and I really liked the Happy Easter one so it's just a classic one that can just stay in my stash and I know that that'll be used you know year in year out so I picked that one up and I lied I did get something else in hobby craft I picked up these because I'm doing a lot of cards for the magazines that a lot of them get photographed so I just needed to find more of a I guess cheaper way for me to buy my card blanks so I've tried these ones so you get 50 value crafts hobby craft they're 200 gsm let's just have a look at how well these stand it's two there it's by the time I add my mats and layers to them they should be okay yeah I mean they are softer flims I usually use the 300 gsm but um I'm going through them so quickly whereas I thought these here I get 50 but I think by the time I add my mats and layers those ones are going to be fine so yeah they're good they should do the trick and these are the hobby based value crafts range okay so yeah you'll see them popping up but they're mainly really for my commission cards that I do and then finally I had real success with the Arteza demo and review that I done a couple of weeks ago or last week and the guys there were really pleased and they said that they would love to continue collaborating with me which was so nice of them and asked me if I'd like to choose some more product which I was well as you can imagine how exciting is that so they've sent me these here now I've got you know how much I love doing my watercoloring so this is going to be a really nice thing for me to really kind of compare against my other watercolors because I've got the Derwent and I've also got the Reeves watercolor pencils and I've got another company as well I can't remember the name of them so it would be interesting to see how these ones really do kind of stand up against other ones that I enjoy using so I've got 72 here and I'll be sharing this in more detail but I'm going to do I'm going to break down the videos for these so I'll do a video just on these pencils for example but I've got three there look at those amazing and again I've seen the reviews on these and I've watched people use them you know over the months and they they do stand up really well so I'm yeah really excited to use these I've got them they come in that lovely tin so it's easy to store and then these ones here I've got the 48 real brush print real brush pens now I do have the Japanese branded ones again I can't pronounce the name so it'd be nice to see how these ones are you know compared to there so I've got another one of these which is great because I enjoy using them that's the water brush but then I've also got four layers of these brush pens again cannot wait to start using these and these are the watercolor brush pens so yeah you'll be seeing them appear and I will like I said I'm going to do probably a tutorial using these and making a card then I'll do another one using them because I think there's quite a lot you know all the colors I think it'd be easier to keep them kind of split then I also received the heat transfer vinyl I've got some really cool ideas for using this so I was when I saw that it was available on their website I thought yeah definitely so you get 14 sheets 10 inches by 12 so these are nice big sizes and yeah I think yeah I think you're gonna like what I've got in mind for these so watch this space and then I also got these now you know I love my glitters let me just move this out of the way and hold them up so there's no glare look at all of this now these are all fine glitters they're almost powder like so the reason I've chosen these is because there's such you know unusual colors you've got like an olive green there you've got this deep burgundy like red wine color you've got so many beautiful shades of like blues there and aqua and how lovely is that going to look with like under the sea themed projects you've got your different shades of gold and you've got like holographic there deeper blues purple you get the picture there's just so many brilliant ones and this one here you've got a glow in the dark so for Halloween that's going to look brilliant for some really fun cards so when I saw that they had all that available I thought I'm going to get them and I will be bringing some really fun tutorials using these glitters so you seem to really like the glitter tutorials as well the the ones I've shared in the past so and I love the names like tomato red oh that was wine red there we go so I got my got the color right for that one um Fandango what else we've got brilliant silver shamrock green so anyway I will be showing them in more detail when I go to do those tutorials but I did get them this week so I thought I'd share them in this week's what did I get okay guys so that is most of what I've got here I couldn't fit it all on my mat but really excited to get on with the Arteza stuff because that's really my thing that I love doing and uh yeah we'll see where all the other stuff gets used the scrapbook layouts most of it really and the pom poms which I will share over on Facebook I will try and share as many links as possible all the Arteza stuff will be linked so I know some of you have already been asking about other products things like the Wilkinson stickies and stuff I can't really link but the work stuff I should be able to the wool I won't be able to because that's pound stretcher and they don't have online options and the rest is charity shops but just to give you an idea of what I do through the week and what I buy so hope you like it please give me a thumbs up and I'll be back again tomorrow with another tutorial thanks for watching bye


Google now offers free courses on a website called grow.google, not grow.google.com, just grow.google. Let me show it to you. Here you'll see grow stronger with Google, where they advertise many courses that you can take for free at any time to increase your skills or your career. The latest course they're promoting is a cybersecurity certificate from Google. And if you open that link it'll take you here where you get the course for free on Coursera. If you click get started you'll see this where you can enroll for free starting May 21st. Now guys this is not like get rich quick scheme. You have to spend 6 months at 7 hours per week at a flexible schedule to get the certificate. This is pretty intensive. Let me make myself a little bit smaller so you can see the screen better. And it truly teaches you everything you need to know to prepare for a career in cybersecurity. Now this is one of many courses at grow.google and I encourage you to explore the site and tell me down there in the comments below what you think. Are you signing up for any of the courses? Have you already signed up for them or do you know anyone who has and what's their experience? Please share your feedback. So for me I've never heard of the site. I just stumbled upon it recently grow.google. And there's a few sites that Google has now that are kind of these cool new domains. So for example they have domains.google.  Now I compared the prices some of these prices are actually cheaper than other registrars some are about the same and some are even a little more expensive so it's not like a one size fits all but it's great to know that if you trust Google you can now use them to buy your domain. Now of course you can also host your domains on Google Cloud if you're running a website your web server can be hosted on Google or Amazon or self-hosted but yeah now you can buy your domains with Google. You guys know of any other cool names that Google has I know one blog.google. So blog.google is you guessed it Google's blog right there behind me. Now they call it the keyword which is a bit strange because the URL is blog.google not keyword.google but yeah this is the Google blog and they also have one oh where they advertise Google Bard by the way did you know this is the chat GPT competitor for AI by Google it's called Google Bard this one is a little more normal URL it's just bard.google.com so this one has a .com it's not just bard.google but yeah here is Google Bard which is another new service I only recently discovered and I wanted to show you one more cool one they also own .youtube so you have blog.youtube again not blog.youtube.com just blog.youtube it's the official YouTube blog so how is it that Google and YouTube can own the internet and have their own like .youtube instead of .youtube.com it's actually something that you may not know about but you can create custom domains meaning you can buy your own like .George if I wanted to enough I wanted to spend enough money and wait long enough I could own the .George domain and I could create websites like blog.George but of course it costs a lot of money probably upwards of half a million dollars per domain and you have to wait for the next time that they are taking submissions for increasing the domain name space by ICANN which is the body that manages all of these domains so it's not like going shopping for ice cream or cars it's quite a long and lengthy process for you to get these custom domains but it's it's cool that Google's doing it and and it's really cool that they have sites like where is it here this one which gives you free certificates that are real courses that take real time six months of time but it's on a casual and a flexible schedule which makes it easy to do in your part time so you don't have to like quit your job and go full time to google school no you can just do it in your in your spare time on evenings and weekends all right guys what did you think tell me down there in the comments below and what did you think of the other sites i'd love to know i'll keep sharing these tips as i discover them so we can all help each other grow together as a family which is the freedom family and last time i showed you this video where i was number one of ten you go to your youtube dashboard refresh your page and see this those fireworks are displayed those fireworks were displayed on the previous video but now look what i got i only got number nine of ten of my last video so i went from number one to number nine basically the beginning to the end of the pile so apparently the youtube fireworks video is not a popular topic but look it is getting me a high average view duration which means the people who did watch it watched it for a very long time relative to my other videos but as you can see here it's like you know let me just move myself out of the way right so you so you can see that it's basically in tide for last place for the youtube culture and trends report so again i encourage you to compete against yourself and look at these rankings by views in your youtube studio to discover what videos are good for you to make so hopefully this video will be a little higher in the ranking when we launch it and the last thing i wanted to share with you is our viki just go to vi.ki uh stands for video wiki and vi.ki is our prototype for heartbeat here you can see the latest like star trek new world's official trailer with moments and the last thing he told me do you know this star's jamie lannister if you watched game of thrones jamie lannister the actor who plays him is starring in this

Thank you Anzou, thank you Anzou for your beautiful presentation. We saw two very far edges of investment amounts and we can see that even in the most difficult situations it's possible to make very likely spaces. I mean the two, these two very different contexts they show us that it's possible to create always, it's always possible to create nice spaces for having fun. So now I'm going to invite for, to sit here on the stage, Pahar Ezynski, right? Did I pronounce right? Yeah, Pahar is a planner and researcher at Myanmar, Sindhant, and she's actually working with her students on design guidelines for parents and children. Please Edward, you please come back. Aish Orlund, she's a professor at KD and she has a KD on product design at Myanmar. And she recently run a studio which is part of the initiative to establish a master's program by AirBanai5. And finally, Alexander Lange, she's an architecture, Alexander, an architecture critic and she wrote the book called Design of Childhood, how the material world shaped our kids. So is it working here? So I would like to bring them into the conversation. So I would like Pahar to comment. I mean we saw, let's say, two edges of the spectrum. And we see that both edges work. And you are working specifically on design guidelines. And we imagine also the difficulty which is to establish, where do we stop? Until where do we go? Which sort of guidelines do we need? And so I would like you to comment a little bit on this presentation and Pahar's refers also to this idea of where should we, what should we reach? What should we establish? How it relates to this idea of guidelines for our city. Difficult question. Actually, I mean, my playground is Istanbul, of course, I'm based in here. So I have a very difficult playground. So then it is very difficult to find a starting point. Istanbul has many different typologies in families, social areas, cultural areas, and of course economic levels differs between the neighbourhoods. So what I do is with my students, we do shadowing projects and observations to see how parents or the caregivers deal with their kids and the city together, how they move around to see what city, what they are doing. So what we do is just walking in the streets or in the basement part and make long-term observations on the parents and the kids. But of course, I mean, when you are working in a neighbourhood, they are the people who are living there. So your target group is mainly based there. But in Istanbul, there are many cases that there are lots of children living in gated communities, studying in private schools, and they are moving in the city with cars or buses. So they have a different perception of the city. So it's another case, which we are not focused on very much. But on the other hand, affordances is a very, very important context for Istanbul because most of the kids are not walking to their primary schools. They are taken by their parents or their cars. The only place that they experience the city by walking is around the playgrounds or maybe the small streets in front of their houses. So it is something else when you try to find out some guidelines because the distance that they live is quite different than the whole city scale. And the place, the play that they are playing or the time how they are spending in the street differs. So what we see mostly is the parents are so sceptic about the kids. So I think, first of all, I'm an urban planner, but I think we have to start with the parents. And we need to educate them, yes, convince them. That was the word I was looking for. We need to convince them that their kids will be safe in the streets because there are also other people. Okay, we need larger sidewalks, better lighting maybe, or the zebra crossings on the streets. But then, even when we are just able to do this, they are going to be safe. And we need to let the children play on the streets, even though for that we don't need any guidelines actually because when you have a small pond of the rain on the sidewalk, all the kids can play and have fun and want to go out. They don't need specifically to these very fancy playgrounds every day at least. They also want to go to the beautiful playgrounds there and play there, but not for every day. So basically these guidelines are to give a minimum that allows life to flourish. The city life, and I think the main target is to invite all the people, not only the kids, but everyone to the public spaces. Which I find very, very important. And in between the local authorities and the social initiatives. In Istanbul, local authorities have many things to do. So they cannot focus on each issue. So that's why I find it very important for NGOs to be on the streets trying to do something and help people to understand their needs. And it's interesting because if we think about tactical urbanism and temporary intervention, we have a whole different set of guidelines which are performed in a very short amount of time in order to create a connection between people and the environment, right? Yeah, and when you see the results, it's really working. I mean, when people are free to use their streets as they want and they start to demand afterwards. I think that's what we need, especially in Istanbul. Because if you don't demand, usually you don't get what you need. So one of the aims was to make people aware of their abilities to create their own public spaces. Yes, it can be out of standards, but still you can make it work. So that's what we experienced from our event. So what is the follow-up on this project? I missed when it was, was it this year or a couple of years back? Different years. Actually, we had to stop it four years ago, yes. And we're still questioning ourselves what should we do next, because there are different opinions in our group. Like, maybe we're not just working in just one street continuously every month to organize these events and change the streets with the involvement of the residents, like participation of the residents to the change it. My question actually was, are they picking it up? Picking it up, yes. That means, are they afterwards going to do this themselves? Or are they waiting for you? They're usually waiting for us. So that's why we wanted to share this toolkit for others. Because if you want them, okay, this is what we have done so far, but you can also do this. You have the ability to organize yourself. So that was the main reason of the toolkit. We talked a little bit and you are pretty much in the process of designing how they come together to an end. But I have, I mean, you have a background, sorry, you have a PhD as a product designer, right? And I think one important question is industry, right? Because when we see the regular playgrounds around cities, they are just a replication of the same swingers, the same bouncers, and there are very few variations. And I'm wondering, I mean, what can we expect from them and is there a way to, how to transform the way that they, the kind of products that they offer if the new technologies of fabrication, they are already changing those products? I mean, if you put... Well, I mean, the basic principle and the driver of the industry is profit, basically. So, but I still believe that design has the power, of course, to bring up variety, but focusing on people. So, most of the time what we see today is many of the municipalities also in Turkey and Istanbul are, they are looking at catalogs, like catalog products and what in the old school of designing from product design perspective, we always design the product and then series of products and then a catalog comes up. And then what happens, I believe, in the urban design context is that there is this, the location that's drawn, the frame is drawn there and then it's like a, you know, just look at the plan and it's like a decoration that's looking from a playground equipment catalog. So, there is no real intact interaction with the user. I mean, the user is sometimes 0 to 3 year old and then sometimes it's 12 year old, younger kids and it's most of the time also caregivers, caretakers. So, what I do suggest is that I think designers, if they have the interdisciplinary approach of looking at the urban space, looking at observation from each height and looking at the behavioural patterns of people from location to location. I mean, we know that some of the participants from different municipalities and we know that the interaction with the kids and the families are different on public space. So, taking this into consideration needs a broader vision from the designer in perspective. So, I think designers, either they're urban designers or product designers or architects, they should look at it as the whole pattern of, you know, human centred activities. How the traffic flows of people or, you know, at daytime, what is the density at daytime and what happens after 6 o'clock. So, my notes, I have the keyword of transition from Alger's project and his perspective. So, these transitional possibilities actually brings up the context of hybrid products and hybrid approaches. So, in my neighborhood also there's a very small, very regular and boring playground where there's a basketball field, which is used, I have a daughter who's 6 years old, but she, because on the street she doesn't have a flat surface for riding her bike or her scooter, but what happens is that when the kids in the neighborhood don't play basketball in that field, all the kids are there just to, you know, use up all their vehicles of each kind, you know, from all age groups. So, I think the idea of this transition I wanted to ask I think should, you know, bring up more, let's say, genuine approach or like, you know, research for a new language or a new way of new products and integrated perspective. Do you think this kind of, you know, came up in your experience of a long span of, you know, dealing with play or you think there can be guidelines or we can just, I don't know, how can we say that this is something important to new young designers, let's say? May I just ask a question to Albert? We bring back the question of industry. If you see a transformation of industry and the industry that supplies equipment and that builds the parts in, I mean, if you see a transition, if you can identify or something that, I mean, it was always like that in South of Anaype, I don't know. Interesting thing is actually I remember you mentioning Oguchi. I cannot even do it better than he did it. And the funny thing is that over the years things have changed. In the 60s and 70s, many architects and artists were involved in playgrounds in many different ways. And somewhere this has changed. The industry came in, standards came in and actually the standards are from that perspective actually a bad thing because the industry took that as saying you need to, you need us because otherwise it's unsafe. And then the whole thing changed and I noticed that play has become, in the general sense of the word, has become another important factor in many things since 2000, maybe even before. And slowly this is trickling down again to the playground. Strangely enough where we see that we need to have a different approach where we have the junior playground is the best playground there is and the highest hill with a muddy slide is the best playground there is. Society goes in waves and so does the playground design. Alexander, you showed yesterday to us, I mean, some of your findings on your book and I want to ask you something which connects with our Zoom presentation which is was it possible to map also, I mean, I know that you looked specifically in how these play spaces they evolved over time but by looking at this, could you do some findings on how also, well, this word didn't exist before but how technical urbanism evolved over time what means I mean how other kinds of informal appropriation of space changed. I think in a strange way the informal appropriation of space has changed the least. I mean, I showed a picture of a plain street from 1910 in New York City that doesn't look so different from the plain streets that you just showed in your presentation. You know, and Simon said earlier today closing a street is really this incredibly powerful thing and it evokes the most basic kind of play with the simplest possible materials. So that really, I mean, I think it's great because that really is step one. But I also think that designers who've made permanent spaces can learn from that and have learned from that and I was really glad that Elgar brought up out of the night. I think it's hard to design playgrounds in Amsterdam and not think about overnight because I talk about him a lot in my book. He's really inspirational and the thing that always gets an audience of designers is saying that he designed 700 playgrounds, that's the number I use because, you know, who among us can say that they made 700 of anything? And the way that he did that, I think, was by making a really, really simple kit of parts that's kind of one step up in permanence from the simple things that you can bring to a street. He has, you know, these kind of, I would call them concrete tufts and he has a sandbox and he has these metal climbing hoops. So these things are permanent but they're not out for stall other possibilities in that space. So it has that kind of double functioning and has that kind of affordance but it is permanent.  So I feel like Van Eyck is still this model that if we're talking about guidelines if we're talking about really simple playgrounds that's where we should be looking and the fact that he made 700 of them is an indication that, like, a city, there was enough space in the city for that kind of play at that scale. The reason why he did it, to build communities in the new modernized layout of Amsterdam bringing people outside again which is actually the same thing as we are discussing here. And a lot of them were cited when people from one neighborhood saw that another neighborhood had gotten a playground and wrote a letter to Van Eyck's boss, Jochoba Mulder and said we would like a playground. So it was like a push and a pull from the city government and so that's how they appeared. The word community popped out at some of the presentations. And then I cannot bring the question about public spaces because I believe that all of us are advocates for the importance of keeping space public but you showed, for example, in your presentation that you have a design in Istanbul. You said you know my work because of this part that's part of a private compound. So what is the role of private space in cities like Istanbul or like Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and what are the risks associated? What are the benefits associated? I mean how do you this is a question for no, it's not only for you but I also want to have the voices of Istanbul. I think it's important. May I start? I find this a very difficult question because it brings me into position when should a designer step in or when shouldn't he machine? And in the Netherlands we actually don't have private public spaces as you know in many other parts of the world so for me that was strange and new and I had to think about why should I do this and then afterwards I start realizing that in other parts of the world probably in Brazil but also in Asia they didn't step out. They are not catering for these places anymore so who am I to say that a private party should not step in and have this? I cannot say don't because actually the center works pretty well in the neighborhood and it's a public space in that sense of course there are conditions when you should say yes or no I don't want to judge from that Ok So maybe you can comment I think in my point of view private public spaces are ok we have this existence in our city scales and it's a part of city pattern right now and we need to accept them and we need to create a network including all these playgrounds and it too we have some playgrounds good or bad I mean we can discuss it some of them are really eager to do good things but they don't have good budgets to work with the designers but still they offer spaces but Zorlo has a bigger budget and a different point of view so they have you which is a very important thing for Istanbul I think so in an upper scale I think we need to gather them all I mean like a playground in the city we need to create a network with them not also spotting only in the playground but also including the small streets some of them that Arzu is working on or maybe in gardens of some primary schools which are mostly closed in the weekends so I think this is what we need to focus on I mean Zorlo playground is one of this part of this network but we need to create the network before we need to have a vision balance between private and public spaces within the city the proportion of private and public spaces because it's saying okay we don't have any qualified public spaces let's have these kind of private spaces if you say okay to this it will pop up numbers of these spaces will increase so I think there should be a balance sometimes these kind of private public spaces especially for children can work but still we I think we should demand for public spaces which are accessible for all of the people you mentioned there were schools and you mentioned the spaces that the schools have and the schools have what's your vision about the role that schools can play in the network of when I was in primary school we had my primary school is a very central point and dance point in Istanbul it was a very nice garden and it has very low walls so everybody can access but after a certain time they start to close the walls so nobody can go inside after the school closes you cannot go inside the garden it's still right but they're empty spaces especially for the weekends when you take your kid out and try to find a space or let them run or play whatever they like they can use that space so there is a built network of spaces which are not used on weekends there is a huge potential there are parking spaces there are parking spaces right now this initiative was the mayor to make sure every child was within 10 minutes of an open space which is a rubric that's often mentioned and they basically opened all the schoolyards to kind of solve their problems instantaneously which has been great and we use it for exactly that purpose of riding bikes and scooters but the great thing was that after the schoolyards were opened on weekends then people started to look at the schoolyards and say okay but this is just black top there's no trees here it's open space but it's not green space so then a bunch of the schoolyards got trees a bunch of the schoolyards got additional facilities so it was like the first step of just making them open was cheap to free and then the next step was people started to see them as an opportunity and that has brought more green space to more cities so it's a great thing to identify and then to see the potential sites in the Netherlands now to have the schoolyards although we don't have yards we have front yards it's a different to keep them open and it actually says what the book to active city is a borderless spaces and one of the spaces that we use for the spaces are these schoolyards so every schoolyard doesn't have a fence anymore and it works pretty well going back to the private and public and example of carving Zoro center I think is a good example because it also shows us good design cases can also teach communities that they can ask for a higher quality services because we have been we have a tendency to complain about how badly things are designed but then hiring up a little bit the level of design sensitivity and design perception I think we need to also kind of provoke the market you know with examples that are not similar to the mainstream catalog design ambience so I think I see it as a potential and quality that can add up to the whole scene of playground and outdoor play equipment so I think this is an opportunity to learn from to have a variety of things and a different perspective towards design so that people start because we also have this when we are teaching design we always say you know haven't you seen that haven't you seen this and then it's like okay now go and see it and now let's discuss it so that they can have a vision for their future so that maybe we can have more questioning new generation of designers so that they will start questioning the private and the public and then the accessibility to good design I see there's an opportunity that the private capital can bring in as a positive value to the discussion one last question before we open to the audience Azur but you can comment please Azur I mean you manage public space and private and I want to know if you had if you know cases of community management on public space so spaces which are public but they are managed by communities do you know any case or instable another city or the neighbor where I'm living succeeded to reclaim a green space in the neighborhood very important public space it used to be a field kind of let's say left over space and they fight for it and succeeded to turn it into a very successful working community garden and it was a result of collaboration between the neighborhood and the municipality and also other supporters and they didn't give up for a long time I mean for 20 years they stood up and okay we don't want any because it was under threat of stealing a hospital instead of a green space so they they asked okay we need this space as green space and the social public space that we can all access and use actively so I think that's one of the most successful examples in Istanbul Local neighborhood architectural designers so I mean not maybe strongly but but the participation of the residents was a part of this process so I think the needs of the neighborhood especially the residents and children were involved so that's one of the good examples I think because this is initiative where programming by organizations should have a follow up that is actually the question that I wanted to ask you is there any follow up that is taken over by the community because otherwise you can show them if there is no follow up it doesn't make sense but this is a perfect example of how it should be and how municipalities should be a little bit more flexible in assisting with these initiatives because it will make their spaces much nicer or better used municipalities saw that it was really successful and then started another community garden in another neighborhood with the same design so when you show them with the participation of the residents it's a good design and good solution and that is easier for municipalities to improve those kind of projects that's great I want to ask the audience for their questions their comments I'm a bit excited because I'm a student like there are so many planners and professionals it may sound a bit raw to ask my question I'm an architecture student in ITU we're working on space for children in character considering the future renovation or restoration projects already going on, some things are going on my question is I see we're mostly looking at the subject from a city planning perspective or policy creative perspective or making people more cautious about how to approach things but from an architectural view I don't think we can separate the residential areas directly from the socializing areas playgrounds somewhere and residencies somewhere for example we start building a new residency and we have a very limited space for playgrounds so how do we create residencies especially buildings concrete buildings with the playgrounds or streets creating this transition between the buildings and the playgrounds also making maybe the buildings playgrounds that's my question I like especially Mr. Bills because I'm an architect maybe he can get a more architectural perspective okay first of all we need to question why isn't there enough space that's a financial question because we don't dedicate this space for this public space we only build but on the other hand I would say even if there's a little space because that is what I was trying to say you can do a lot sometimes a small intervention can actually cause a lot and there's always spaces in between buildings so what is the minimum that you can do to to create what you actually want I know for an example somewhere we had a footprint of 15 square meters so we thought let's go work like the buildings to create something on the other hand the book The Active City there's another book called The Active Building there's also for people actually to exercise in buildings how can we make our buildings for a healthy living I can see playing being part of that we are used to using elevators and not using the stairs anymore but that's the simplest example that I can give is to implement these things in either buildings or small spaces with a large result you only need to persuade the people that are making these buildings that is where the problem probably is okay I think there is someone over there right your team is there someone else there also thank you this is a question for Arzu I'm really interested to hear more about your model for the street is ours so how long were the streets closed for did you take the cars out from the streets did you program them and the second part of the question is have you looked at other models for play streets from other parts of the world so for instance I'm very familiar with the model from the UK which is a resident led model so you build in from the start that residents own the process they decide that they want to close the street for an hour a week or an hour a month the municipality sorts out the paperwork so that they can do that and then you have a model that is sustainable from the start because the municipality can say to all the other streets here we now have a process where you can apply as a resident and you can close your streets within reason as much as you want search and inspire from different models and different examples from all around the world about this Sunday car free Sundays and other names the process was not a butt month that's coming from the residents because first you have to give this idea to the people that this kind of thing can work and you can have your street without cars if a car free feature is possible most of the people would say no so it's very important to show people that for one day you can have this and it can be a model for the future of your neighborhood so we wanted to trigger this idea so we went to municipalities first to explain our idea and wanted to collaborate with them and choose the streets together and then we went to the streets and at least a week ago to get to know people and also to inform them about the event and also ask them if they have a car please park it somewhere else nearby so the process started like this and after we organized this event the response are very positive like we want to do this again and what should we do at that point we want to give them our guide, our tool kits to trigger them to organize their own events that's our main purpose but so far it hasn't happened but maybe this could be the next step for our project there is a question there someone else so that we know thank you, this is Narnin from Stanislaw University I'm a child development specialist and psychologist I'd love to ask actually thank you for your perfect presentation but especially as a philosophical approach children find their selves in the eyes of their mothers or in the others so maybe my question can be about product design or urban design children how do they find their self to the design in Turkey so parts also has a prototype and not with their confidence especially I want to make a comparison between Turkey and other countries maybe Netherlands or other cities how do they find their self to the design or the plan or do they have your perceptions my question actually and if I look from a certain perspective I would call the children the clients they are the easiest clients there are because they are not being withheld as we are so I had the easiest job in the world whatever I do they like it it's always the others problems, the constraints etc and I think that as soon as all parents leave the space and you put the children there you leave them there they will make sure they have a good time also in Turkey that's universal that's what I think I wish that the grown-ups could start that is why I also showed that image we try to get rid of all conditions that make things impossible all constraints all parties in the beginning let's enter the design first naive and then we see how we achieve something I like the question but the answer is also simple for my perspective so yes I heard in your presentations two things that are a bit opposite at one side there's the examples of doing like temporary things pop-ups or cheap and easy to make and replace and it made me think about if you in Istanbul if you're talking about guidelines, if you're thinking about maybe giving more guidance that these processes are maybe encouraged but also a bit optimized because I think problem might be in temporary cheap things that they might just miss the effects or be not used to its high potential and that they then also could use designers to accompany that process and then maybe make a kind of hybrid thing between okay it's not a manual but it might be something that is a bit more systematized and I wanted to also ask your both opinions about that because it's also going again between participation and leadership from a designer, a single designer our events can be can facilitate participation of residents for permanent design solutions so I think that's the first step a bit further yes we need to work with decision makers to sustain this effect and also to make it more accessible for everybody that's what I think I have a slightly different approach there's nothing wrong with events but the events are actually meant to cause something and then we come to the question where should the money be coming from but there's a small amount of money already to do these kind of events and I strongly believe that you don't need much to do something we did projects in Amsterdam where we had two times 1,500 euros and they're still up I have to say there was lots of man hours involved for people that wanted to be part of that that's where the problem is but you don't need fancy playgrounds or fancy things I strongly believe in that you start with the event hopefully there's a spark that is ignited and brings together people that want to take over and then the professional designer his job is actually the middle man see how with the limited amount that we have can build something that might be kept up for a longer period one year three years, five years or maybe there's another spark coming from that and so things can grow but money we don't actually have that money without money you have to go search for reuse materials there's also go to industries and that's another but I don't assume mention that actually there was at least one street that became permanently closed two of them are now pedestrian so this is not temporary anymore this is already permanent because the word guidance is much more important than guidelines actually because when you say guidelines it sounds like a more technical term you know it's like the urban designers or architects but when it comes to the guidelines so it is for everyone who are interested in the subject I mean the designers anyone in the field and I just want to ask a small question maybe just following this because I think guidance and also experience sharing is very very important in our field because ours is a different experience and you as a designer have a different perspective so I was just wondering if you just worked with designers while closing this street and maybe Erger if you design something for a non-profit organization how was the balance first of all you need to know that what I'm working for is defining what I'm asking as a designer they find that very important because if you work for a non-profit organization you need to know that I did a small project in Amsterdam where there was hardly any money and they invited a designer and of course there was a lot of rejection against that we don't want that so what I did was that we just bought this new 3D printer that we had to try out and we printed all little small blocks from M-Pellets and then we made a drawing and I had a bag full of these small printed elements I put them on the table and I said well okay go ahead design your own space in the beginning they were very enthusiastic then it started to become a conflict because everybody wanted to build something for themselves and after three days they called me and I said can you please assist me it's not always like that but of course they don't want the designer tell them how they should design something but then they realized that I could bring in my experience and they could bring in their experience and together we could create this project I think this connects to your findings but those were adults I feel like children might have been able to create their own life but they acted as children I think children are forced to do more conflict resolution like on a daily basis than most adults maybe conflict is a good thing to achieve things there's more written about that yeah but I think design itself is just facing all the challenges like your projects your possibilities your limitations that's what design is all about so I think the question of having very small space for playground than having more space for residential construction that's design so you have to find your ways out so even the budget is low and the technology is low I think there's always a solution that's what the whole process is about and indeed I think that it's very important to have this ecology the college of the temporary spaces that they have and they are like that the space which becomes finally a permanent space or is upgraded over time slowly or sometimes there's a vision of Noguchi that builds up this amazing space without no participation except for his own creative minds and then it's amazing I mean there's so many different ways and these ways they are all valid as far as we don't want to impose things to people they are all valid there's Basch who practices the Indian that I interviewed for my book and she makes these schools that are sort of like playgrounds because they have this furniture that's like mountains and like valleys rather than desks and chairs and she says that design is there to keep the grass from springing back up she feels like people bring her in and they say they want change she's bringing in the wind of change and the grass folds down but if she doesn't make a permanent intervention there it will spring back up and things will go back to the way they were before and I find that to be a very useful concept not just in schools but for all of this sort of playground work and city work that we've been talking about because design means money is spent it means like some idea has been agreed upon and there's a fixed object and people do respect objects okay we have the last question I'm a teacher actually so I want to talk as a teacher from our point of view the thing is we talk about Netherlands and examples when I was studying North TISO in New York Park there was a really high slide and children can climb up first there's no ladder and then they should climb up and then they can slide down and it was really nice for me it was really it was my first time I saw something really creative and blah blah but then I started to work and then we went to the American Park as a field trip so I want to let children to play there but the thing is as a teacher you cannot take risk and also as Turkish parents most often they don't want to let their children to play there because it's kind of dangerous for them I'm not blaming actually sometimes dangerous because these children are most spending their time in the houses not in nature or not somewhere else so they don't have so much chances to play in that areas for example when I think about opening school spec yards the thing is really nice things for playgrounds but the important part is we should appreciate these creative ideas like if somebody doesn't let you to play in that playground for example Mr. Beliz said if adults let children to play there I'm sure they will play but in Turkey we cannot let them to play that's the thing and sometimes respect is important for example my dad is a principal in a school and it's a public school and they should raise a fund to repair the football field they repair they made really nice plays area playground for backyard but then after two weeks they broke the backyard was really mass big mass and then the thing is if we use places I guess maybe we shouldn't think about playgrounds somewhere but we can think about somewhere children can easily play in the streets like I don't know I'm thinking when climbing frames stick to building apartment building I can climb there in their street but it shouldn't be playground because in Istanbul it's really difficult but there are many hills but Netherlands you can push your stroll easily in Netherlands it's really actually we are observing maybe you can talk a little bit about how things changed over time it was really long story about risk I don't know if you have seen Tim's explanation risk is actually part of playing because if you cannot learn how to deal with risk you will encounter many risks when you are grown up I do understand your situation as a teacher because then if a child comes home with a bruise or scratch you are being held responsible where actually you can learn through if you hurt yourself that you weren't capable of doing that yeah, there's nothing wrong with that it's a problem that I cannot solve from my perspective I would say still I would like to make these places where you at least can encounter that risk and try to explore that by yourself not guided by your parents I go around the world and I notice that the world is getting more secure actually practically everywhere not everywhere but in many places and we feel more insecure we start to become more protective in many many from many many different perspectives and this is actually what you are saying the parents don't feel secure it's something I don't have a solution for but also don't want to give a solution for except for that they maybe should change their mindset as well and this doesn't come overnight this is something that they need to learn I always give the example we go back to Amsterdam and Copenhagen in Denmark they have their strollers outside leaving their babies in there even being from the Netherlands we don't believe that we think that is very very risky so there is always cultural differences between many countries but maybe this audience is the one that advocates that we need to change that also in Turkey because children will love it we should change the thinking we cannot change right now sorry I'm not judging actually I'm just saying I've been listening for a long time so I'm just thinking as a teacher I really think that children should jump everywhere they should play I'm not the one afraid of taking risk but the thing is is the conditions so I'm just saying maybe we really like to listen to you and we really like the creative designs in our playground they are really boring for children I know that we can see that but there are some differences thank you and I want to thank you for amazing collaboration


Hello everybody, welcome back to another AI video. In this one, we're in ChatGPT4 or ChatGPT+, and I'm going to show you how to create memes inside ChatGPT, no Photoshop, no other nonsense websites, just right in ChatGPT. Let me show you an example here. In this one, I've got create a funny meme about AI artist versus real artist. That's all I told it to do. And then you'll see here using just one plug-in, it says real artists spending years mastering their craft, AI artists generate masterpiece in .001 seconds. It's actually kind of funny. So let me show you how I did that. It just took a few seconds. So I'm going to start a new chat here. Again, I'm in ChatGPT+, so you got to switch up here at the top to ChatGPT4. And then you want to make sure you got the check mark beside plugins. When you do that, you're going to see the little plug-in rectangle here below it. There are two plugins currently that are good for this. One's called meme generator, and one's called meme creator. We're going to use meme generator in this one, but do note that meme creator also gives you some pretty cool ideas. So if you don't have it installed, all you got to do is just click on the plug-in store, and then all you got to do is type in meme, and it will show you the ones that are memed. So this is my AI meme generator, and this is the meme creator. I'm going to close out of that because I've got one loaded up here, and you'll see that it's loaded because the check mark is beside it. Okay, with that out of the way, let's go ahead and run it. So I'm going to do, let's say, I had a funny idea here somewhere. Oh yeah, funny meme about using gas and brake pedal to take a screen shot. Maybe create multiple funny memes about, okay, let's just try that. Let's create multiple funny memes. We're going to, I'm just trying this one out in kind of real time. I ran this earlier in the previous one, but I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure this can run multiple attempts. So you'll get a few different cracks at it. And let's see what we got here. Using meme generator. If I drag, if I click on that little triangle, you'll see here what it's done, what the request is using meme generator. Here's the second one. And now, presto, let's see what it came up with. Drake hotline bling meme, distracted boyfriend meme, two buttons meme. Okay, so it came up with a few ideas. Let's look at them. Here's the first one. Using gas and brake pedal to drive, using gas and brake pedal to take a screenshot. Okay, yeah, that's all right. Not great, but not bad. Let's see this one. Oh yeah, okay, gas and brake pedal for driving, me, gas and brake pedal for screenshots. Okay, yeah, whatever. And then let's look at the two buttons memes. Here's the last one that it created. Okay, gas and brake pedal for driving, gas and brake pedal for screenshots, and it's sweating it out. Okay, so there you go.  This is how you create memes. And of course, you can just, like if I click on this, I'm just gonna go ahead and drag that. And if I just open up my Finder, I can just put that into my Finder wherever the heck my Finder is. And there you go. I've got it, or into Windows Explorer. That's all there's to it, guys. Thanks for watching.


1996 study by Matsuzawa et al. reported extremely long-lasting afterglow of senior al-204-EU2 plus codiped with di-3 plus ions, which was more than 10 times brighter than ZNS-CU company. Since then, research for stable and efficient persistent phosphorus has gained popularity but the number of such materials is still relatively low and the mechanism behind this phenomenon is unclear. This review provides an overview of important classes of known persistent luminescent materials based on EU2 plus emission and their preparation, as well as a closer look at suggested models and mechanisms for bright afterglow in various compounds. This article was authored by Cohn Van Den Eakout, Philippe F. Smit and Dirk Pillman.


What are the square objects that you see on the left or the right side of various pages throughout the learning management system? It's possible to dock those with a single click. If we click the little blue strip up the top right of any block, it then docks it into the left section there into an expandable mouseover menu where you can pretty much do as you please. It declutters the page, bear in mind it only affects your view of the page, not anybody else's. And if you want to undock the blocks, you simply click the blue strip to get the blocks back to their original position.


Let's just say we add another parameter here. I just go to comma here and I put in here total. For some, let me just simple calculation and I'll set that to zero at default just in case. I don't want that to have any errors. Now, because here I didn't put anything here. If you want to return the max back or the total back, if I want to return that parameter back outside so I can use it, then over here I have to put the word out here. That means that that parameter total, it will do the calculation inside that procedure when it's done then it's accessible outside of the procedure. You can grab the data back from that total variable. In this case, the max won't be coming out but total does. Before curiosity, let's put 100 here. I'm going to just, that's all I'm doing. I'm going to alter that procedure, execute that. It's a little bit tricky here but I'll show you. This is marked to return if I want to. If you don't want to, that's okay too because as it is, there's nothing wrong with that. The trick is when you call it. When you call the function down here, and we'll make this a little bit simple here, I'm just going to call it in here. It's still right above here.  The first parameter is default is 10. If you want to use the second parameter, you have to put something there. You cannot just skip that number because it does not know. You'll put the, let's just say 10 just like it is. The second parameter is the total. If you want to get the total back, then this has to be a parameter. It has to be a variable name, not a number. If I put this, you cannot read it because it's a constant. Whatever this variable is, it's a reference to this total here. That means I have to go ahead and declare a variable name called maybe total here as well, and make that as a hint. Pass this total to this parameter as total, and also put the word out. It's coming out from that as well. You do this per parameter. If you have a third parameter, you want to also put that out, and you also put that out as well. If you don't, it's not coming out. That means this out here has to match this out in here. So that's the requirement. And then once that's done, then the total is accessible here, and then you can print that here so I can say print the total here. The thing is you have to run all these three at the same time because it only stays in the RAM. Once you exit that, it's not there anymore. Unless you write that total to a table, then that's permanent. Otherwise, it's only in RAM during execution time. So let's see if I get 100 back. If it's true, I should get 100 back from the total here, back to this total outside here. So execute that. As you can see, it runs the script just fine. Remember the print, it's in the message. So in the message, I have the total of... Okay, I didn't see it. Okay, what's going on? Unless... I don't think I have to return anything. Let's see here. It's going to test something here. If I leave that out, and if I go here and set... I'm just wondering if it doesn't take a default value or not. Set that to 100 here. Okay, so let me alter that and then see if that works. Yeah, so I guess you have to do something inside. I thought you could just grab the default value, but it didn't let me do it. I guess because when I put this total here, it's nothing. You can figure out it's nothing, and I'll pass to it then whatever it has here, I had it 100 earlier, it actually overwrites this with nothing and then therefore returns nothing. I think that was the reason why. So I could do total is equal to, I have to say, 100 times the max. So I get 1,000 back, for example. So you can do this calculation and the return of the total be 1,000 in this case. So again, let me just tell you to do this. You have to just alter every time. Okay, alter the procedure. So it stays in there. And then you can execute that and I should get 1,000 back and it resolves down here. Okay, so it's very, pretty easy. Okay. So you can see how you can use the procedure to do some very repetitive code actions. I'm just so very simple how you can select something here. If you have something that is in a routine all the time, then you put all your code in here to do that for you. You can select a statement here. You can join multiple tables and return something back. You can say return the last, the top 20 sales from the month of March. So you put that procedure in there or a function of whatever you do it and you will put that inside there and then you can pass, instead of March, you can pass the parameters or from something else, right? Okay, so we see how we can pass data to a variable this way. Again, you're not limited to just integer. You can pass in text. Okay, you can pass a table name if you want. So instead of saying person to person, I can select that from this table. Okay. You just replace this with that parameter.
