I've been on a mission on this channel to keep you updated with the best free plug-ins for music production, but what about the best of the best? Let's take a look at the best free plug-ins ever. Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're well. Yes, we're going to be looking at the best free plug-ins ever, in my opinion, but we're not going to do it in the usual sense of a top 5 or a top 10. They really can't be compared in that way because they're all so different. However, what I'm going to do is try and demonstrate all of these plug-ins in one piece of music, which I'm going to create through the course of this video. Not so easy, but I got there. Now, there's different types of plug-ins here in terms of there's instrument plug-ins and there's effects plug-ins. So at the beginning of the video, it's mostly going to be about instrument plug-ins because that's when I'm creating the piece of music. Then we'll do effects towards the end when we're finishing off with a little bit of a mix. Let's get started with my favorite free drums. We're actually kind of sport for choice for free drum plug-ins, but I think that this one is the very best in terms of versatility. This is Steven Slate Drums 5. You get this player and then you get a free rock kit deluxe too. And although it's categorized as a rock kit, I can say I think it's really, really versatile. You can play it rather lightly. The velocity is quite good on it. So for example, with the snare here, just playing that from the keyboard there, you can feel that I've got reasonable amount of control there over the velocity. And also there's some nice variations of the sounds of the drums. If we go to the edit page here, for example, and I'll just click on a Tom here, you can see there's some articulations with each drum. So this one's got the main Tom sound and then you've got the rim click. Yes, you've got those two variations. Not a big deal handy. But what if we go to something like this snare or click on the snare? You can see there's a lot of variations on the snare. Yeah, I find that really, really handy. And the fact that you can adjust the volume of each of those articulations. By the way, they're all, of course, available on different keys on your keyboard. Moving along then to something like the hi hat. This is really cool. You go to the hi hat, you've got the closed sound and then you've got different amounts of open sounding hats as well. So listen to this. You can gradually make that open up. I find that very, very useful, especially when you're transitioning, say, from a verse through to a chorus and you gradually have that hi hat opening up can sound really, really natural. Now you also have other controls over things like the velocity curve, which you've got over here, a tactic, a sustain release so that you can really you've got an envelope there to change this. The sound that can be very, very useful indeed. You've also got the ability to mix over here. Now it's got an inbuilt mixer, which you can see here, but you can also output each of these drums to different channels in the console in your main door. I find that really handy when I'm deep in the mixing process. I don't really want to go into plugins so you can just adjust the volume of each of the drums from there. That's very, very handy indeed. We do have the ability to remap the drums. So if you're used to the drums being on different keys from a different plugin, you can remap them there. And we've also got some grooves as well. I've got the pop straight one loaded up here. We'll just listen to that briefly. So in my demo piece of music that I'm making, it sounds like there's a pretty simple drum part. So that's our drum part. What would you want to add to drums? Well, bass, of course. Let's have a look at our bass guitar. Whereas we're kind of sport for choice for drum plugins, I don't think that's the case with electric bass guitar. In my opinion, this one just totally outshines any of the competition. This is the Ample Bass P2 light from Ample Sound. It's based on a precision bass guitar. And I just love the basic sound. If you'll excuse the pun sounds like this. I just love those sort of buzzy sounds of things. Of course, there's a bunch of articulations you can do muting and you can do slides and hammers and all that kind of stuff. I'm not going to be going through it today because I've covered it in enough videos already. I'm just going to be using this basic guitar sound with the drums with a very simple piece sounding like this. You get the idea. Let's move on to acoustic guitar. I'm afraid it's a no brainer again in terms of the acoustic guitar. This is Ample Sound again with Ample Guitar M2 light, the light version of their Martin guitar. Let's just have a listen. Just a really nice sounding acoustic guitar and particularly good with arpeggios like I was doing there. Of course, again, like the bass guitar, there's lots of variations in sound that you get with these key switches down here and effects and all that kind of good stuff. I'm not going to be going through that, but I will say that for this particular piece, I'm using this feature. This is the doubler. OK, if I just switch that on and you have a listen again to that first chord. It's mimicking a technique which we'd often use in recording where we do sort of double up guitars and it gives them a nice wide stereo feel. So how does it sound in the piece so far? You get the idea. Let's move on to our next instrument, which is piano. Well, by the way, if you are finding this video useful, could you go ahead and hit the like button for me? Do it right away so that you don't forget. If you're not enjoying this video, hit the dislike button twice. Yeah, I know it never gets old. And if you do like this kind of content, make sure you subscribe and ring the bell so that you're notified about my other videos. Now back to this video. There's actually a lot of really good free piano plug-ins out there. And some of you may disagree with me that this is the best one. And I think that's just a matter of taste, to be honest with you. This is my favorite one. It's the Monastery Grand Library from Melda Production. And you can use this free library from within the free version of M Sound Factory from Melda Production. Now, it's got a rather thick sound to it. Let's just have a quick listen, which may not be to everyone's taste, but that's what I want for this piece of music, particularly. Now, if I play it with all of the other instruments so far, you're not easily going to be able to hear it because I've got it kind of low in the mix, but it's there to sort of help the acoustic guitar along with a slight variation on the arpeggio. Let's just have a quick listen to it by itself so that you can clearly hear it and then we'll play it with everything else. So very simple as you can hear and with everything else. Now, we're just going to step away from virtual instruments for a moment because there is an effects plug in, which I quickly want to show you. Now, I'm not only using virtual instruments in this piece of music, I'm also using some electric guitar and for the amp sim, I've chosen Amplitube CS. Now, I actually have the full version of Amplitube, but for this demo, I've committed to using only the features which are in CS, that's the free version. OK, now that comes with 41 models of gear, including 10 stompboxes, effects and five amps with matching cabs. Now, with this sort of cleanish sounding rhythm guitar that I've got loaded up here, I'm using this Amplitube American Tube Clean Sound. I'm using this with this four by 10 open vintage cabinet, which you do get with the CS version. Also, this pedal, just one of the pedals, this overdrive pedal and I've used a couple of effects there as well. I've also got an overdriven guitar for the lead part in there as well, which has got a slight variation on that sound. But first of all, let's just have a listen to the two lead sorry, rhythm guitars by themselves. I've recorded them for left and right speakers, done a bit of doubling. Let's just have a quick listen to that. So you get the idea there. And as I say, I've also got some lead guitar in there as well. So let's have a listen to what we've got so far with the rhythm and the lead guitar as well. You can hear the rest of that later, but you're getting the idea now. Now, that really helps. I mean, apart from having a lead part there, the rhythm guitars just help to sort of thicken things up in the rhythm section. That's why I've got them there. It's crazy. I have to run through this really quickly. We don't have enough time, but this is absolutely massive. This is the BBC Symphony Orchestra Discovery Edition from Spitfire Audio. It's a complete orchestra, including all of the different string sections here, all of the woodwind section here, the brass and all of the other different types of instruments as well. And they've all got different articulations with them. Now, the little catch to this is you need to sign up first and then they'll send you the link to get it for free 14 days after sign up. If you can't wait that long, then you can actually buy it. I think it's around about 50 bucks or so. But it does sound absolutely wonderful, especially when you consider that you can get it for free. Now, I'm using it in a really simple way in our piece. I'm just using violins, cello and the bass strings for a sort of a stompy section underneath everything else. Sounds like this. Very simple as you can hear. And with everything else, you can sort of barely hear it, but it adds a little bit of thickness in there. I'm really not doing it justice. You could write whole sort of orchestral pieces on this and they can sound great if you're prepared to spend the time with it. So definitely get this one if you know what's good for you and you need some strings in your pieces of music or any other orchestral instruments. If you need just one free synthesizer, then I would say this is definitely this is vital, a very well known in the synth community and very well regarded. There's so much you can do with it. If you're into programming since there's lots you can do here, as you can probably guess from the interface. But if you're not into that, you just want some great sort of presets for a synth, things like pads and all kinds of different things in there. Anyway, then this is fantastic. Now, I'm just going to play you a very small selection of what's available here. OK, because there's loads of presets you get with the free version. Let's just go through five or six of them. Cinema Bells is the first one. You get an idea of the complexity of sound you can get there. Moving on from there, dispersed grit. Nice, a lovely bass sound there. Easy mallet could be useful. Moving on from there, Solomon. Or Salomon. Oh, yeah. Moving on from there, snow crash. It's amazing you get this for free, isn't it? I mean, I'm not using any of these in the actual piece. I'm not going to spoil it for you. OK, I'll leave it till the end of the video when you hear the final demo. I've just used it in the intro. We'll leave it till then. So that's all of the instrumentation. What about the effects? Well, I don't use an awful lot of different effects on my productions. But in terms of free ones, I use a lot of effects from this one company, Tokyo Dawn Records. I've got one on the screen here. It's one of their compressors called Monotoc. Now, I've used this on some of the instruments individually, especially on some individual drums, just to control them a little. But I'm also using it on the master bus as well. It's just a straightforward compressor, really. It's got all the controls you would need. It's got threshold here. It's got attack, release, make up, gain, ratio. You've also got a high pass filter up here as well and a soft knee control as well. You've got this odd sort of alpha, beta, sigma control in here, which creates some sort of variations in the way the attack and release sort of behave. That's a sort of very quick overview of it, but it's very useful indeed. Now, the next one I want to draw your attention to is called Nova. This is really, really handy. This is the EQ. Now, it hasn't got that many bands. It's got four there. I generally find that's enough for most things, unless I'm being particularly surgical. It's also got a high and a low pass filter as well. But what I really love about this is when you quickly want to do some dynamic EQ, that's available here as well. So I could select a node like this and just click and start adjusting the threshold. What's going to happen there is you're going to actually start to compress those frequencies as they kind of get a little bit out of control if you like, or you can actually expand them as well. But if I just place the music. Just look at that band there, you can see it's moving up and down. So it's not sort of maintaining that EQ setting at a constant level. It's adjusting it depending on the signal that it's getting in that frequency range. That's a very quick explanation of dynamic EQ. But I can promise you as you get further into mixing, it can be a very, very useful feature indeed. It's just incredible that it's available in this free plugin. This is Nova from Tokyo Dawn Records. Moving on to another one by Tokyo Dawn Records. We have this one, Katelnikov. Now this is another compressor, but this is sort of specially made for mastering or for sort of buses. So I'm actually using this one, I believe. Let me have a quick look. I'm using this one on my master bus. I'm using it a little bit on my drums as well, my drum bus that is. So it's sort of tailored towards that kind of thing. But I think you can actually use it for other compression tasks as well. What I really like about it, I mean, it's got loads and loads of features. But what I really like about it is it's got a couple of different ways of treating release. You can base it upon peak values or on RMS values, sort of the average signal. I find that is really nice for mastering compression. And you can sort of use a combination of the two. You can find that on many of my other videos. Look them up. Now, that's the third one I've got here from Tokyo Dawn Records. I think they've actually got some other free plugins as well. I'm probably not using here. I would suggest head on over to their website. Check the link for these ones in the description and just download all of them. I mean, they're beautifully implemented. I think they've got great UIs, but they sound fantastic as well. So those are the first three plugins that I'm using. What are the next ones? Now, I've been using a lot of transparent plugins so far. There's not a lot of color and saturation, which has been added. You often can add saturation as a byproduct of plugins, especially, of course, things like tape saturation from tape plugins and also compression is very commonly going to add some some saturation and also sometimes EQs and things like that as well. I haven't added anything so far from the plugins I've been using. So I'm using this plugin G-Sat Plus. Now, this is fairly new to my collection and I haven't had it in many videos, maybe just one, because it's a fairly new plugin. But I've been very impressed with it so far, really easy to use as well. You just pop it in the track where you want to use it. Now, that could be individual tracks or as I'm using it on the Master Bus. You could, of course, use it on other buses as well. And then you just switch on saturation here. You've got some different modes, but most of us are going to use stereo here. Then you can add odd and even harmonics. Now, I'm keeping it fairly smooth sounding here. So I'm just using all odd harmonics and then you can add some different stages there as well, even got oversampling in there just to refine the sound somewhat there. Now, just a little byproduct for this, the metering is great. I really like the metering here and there's lots of options for that metering. I could potentially just use this plugin for metering without actually metering without actually adding any saturation. But to be quite honest with you, if I don't want to use this style of metering, the one that I would go to is definitely span from Voxengo. This is really a bit of a classic, to be honest with you. Many, many people use this, including me. I use a lot for gain staging when I really want some big meters to look at and I want some different ways of monitoring. So I may want to be monitoring peak or maybe wanted to monitor the sort of average level with sort of different RMS type ways of metering, LUFS, et cetera, that kind of thing. So I use it for that. But you may want to keep an eye on certain frequencies as well. Just play the track and you can see it in action as well as the sort of main the sort of default view there that you can see. There's a bunch of other different ways of visualizing here, you know, depending on what your needs are at the time. It's just an overall kind of Swiss army knife for metering. I love it very much. So that is spanned from Voxengo. Now, one of the things that I want to do and we're kind of going to be most almost talking about only the mastering from now on is a couple of plugins which I use at this stage. The first one is for some imaging. Now, this is from Isotope and this is Imager 2. They have a previous version of this, but I think around about a year or so ago now they've updated it to version 2. It's very straightforward to use. It's not overly sophisticated or overly precise. You have to be a little bit careful with imaging plugins sometimes. But most of the time I find it can just add a nice bit of width to our piece of music. So I have popped it in the master bus there. I've got it up rather high at the moment. I probably use it in a slightly more tame way down here. Of course, they do have commercial versions of this plugin, which give you control over different frequency bands. So this is over the whole spectrum, but it is, nonetheless, quite a handy plugin to have around. Now, probably the final plugin that's going to be in your chain. Well, probably your metering is always going to be the final plugin, but the final plugin, which actually changes the sound at all, would be a limiter of some kind. Now, this is really new to my collection in terms of a free limiter. This is called Unlimited. I'm trying to think who made it. Oh, a sonic anomaly. It's right there at the top. I'll put a link for that in the description. This is really worth getting hold of great for sort of modern metering where you're going to care about your loves, of course, most of the time, you'll be looking at around a bit minus 14 here for a streaming, maybe up to minus 11 for some things. So it's you could do lots of different things with this. But the basic use of it is to, as I say, have it in its limiter mode down here. You're going to play a song and keep an eye on the metering here. You can adjust your threshold and here again, louder there. And you would be looking at a whole song and just, for example, I would be using it just to get that love's value right most of the time. Also, you've got this for controlling the sort of peak. I would often have true peaks switched on and usually I'm looking at around about minus one there. So once you've got that set, then nothing's going to go over that. Nice interface, by the way, I have to say, I really like this one. I haven't covered this in any other videos, but I was looking out for one I was looking out for one and this just really fits the bill in terms of the final plugin that you're going to use to get your music to really healthy levels before you send it out to the world. Now, that's all of the plugins. How does everything sound together? Let's have a listen to the demo. I bet there's some of you who disagree with my picks for the best free plugins ever. That's OK. We can disagree and still be friends. Let me know about it in the comments down below. Which plugins did I miss that you find invaluable and can't do without? Now, if you do happen to agree with my picks, I want to know from you. What's the very best plugin? Which one could you absolutely not do without? Love to hear from you about that. Now, do check the links in the description down below for all of the plugins I've mentioned in this video. And while you're there, check out my link for Patreon.com, where for this one dollar per month, you can help me help you by making more videos like this and I'll see you in the next video.


Hey, folks! We are answering frequently asked questions from the Octa Customer Identity Cloud community, and today we are going to discuss Auth0 Quotas. Let's get started. The Quota Utilization page available in the Auth0 Support Center allows administrators to keep track of the tenant's usage. The Quota Utilization reports can be accessed directly from the dashboard by going to the tenant's name in the upper left corner and selecting Quota Utilization in the drop-down menu. This page shows the consumption reports of the different features. These will include extended utilization data from the last 12 months and indicate if the tenant is exceeding the limits for the subscription in any feature. How is the Quota calculated? Auth0 does not impose hard limits on monthly active users or M2M tokens for customers under a paid subscription. Auth0 Quota is calculated by averaging the usage of the last three months. If this average is under the limit, the tenant is not considered over Quota. As a result, the tenant can surpass the limits in certain months but still be considered within their Quota range. What happens if the tenant exceeds the limits? If the limits are exceeded for three consecutive months, the tenant admins will be notified via email about this situation and asked to upgrade the subscription. Eventually, if the subscription isn't updated accordingly, the system will automatically upgrade the subscription to fit the tenant's usage and the service will never be interrupted. This ensures the service won't be affected even if the tenant exceeds its limits. The same goes for the other features shown on the Quota usage page. If these exceed the values indicated in the reports for three months, the tenant's admins will be notified that they must update their subscription plan. Today, we looked at Auth0 Quotas, how quotas are calculated and what happens if the tenant exceeds the limits.

Okay great well so thanks everybody my name is Nicole Key I'm here on behalf of Eckerd Grohl who couldn't make it today so it's my honor to introduce Ivan Kristoff one of our outstanding associate professors in mechanical engineering. Ivan is established himself as an incredible scholar in fluid mechanics and especially in the areas of suspension dynamics, interface dynamics and flow induced deformation. His applications for his research are very broad and they include areas such as biomedical devices, hydraulic fracture, microfluidics, and soft robotics. So he's the guy that everybody wants to work with and in me when they have special applications that could use his expertise. One of the things I think I really wanted to point out maybe because I'm a grad chair and in me is that he received the outstanding a mentor award voted upon by our graduate students so he is takes his job seriously in all aspects. He's an amazing instructor for our fluid mechanics area as well so with that I'll turn it over to Ivan and take it away. All right thank you Nicole for the introduction and thank you everybody for joining us here today. It's a pleasure to be up here. Maybe I'll start off with a little joke. I don't know how many of you are old enough. I think some of you are to remember the the cult classic film Clerics from the 1990s. It's one of the original Kevin Smith movies. The protagonist Dante here that you see he keeps repeating this quote throughout the entire movie. I'm not even supposed to be here today and what is that relevant? Technically I'm on sabbatical but the organizers were very insistent that I'm here and so I am here for you right now so I thought okay I'll join and I'll be happy to talk about what I'm doing but I just wanted to make some of you jealous maybe that next week I'm back on all my sabbatical travels and this will be my view for the first couple of days at least. I'll actually be in the Republic of Cyprus so it's this tiny island here off the coast of Syria and Turkey in the far eastern Mediterranean. I'm there courtesy of the Department of State's Fulbright program and I'm doing some research at the University of Nicosia. It's a very interesting place. There's two stats I want to mention to you about it. In fact their first major research university was founded in or opened in 1992 and didn't graduate students until 94 or 96 I guess maybe four years. I don't know when they started yet if you read the statistics this is considered to be the most educated country in Europe judging by the number of higher degrees per capita and you might say well how can you have like a single research university well they have some small universities and a lot of people go to Greece Cyprus at least Republic of Cyprus is Greek speaking so they go to Greece to get their degrees but it's kind of an interesting place right it's very educated but they're sort of major research universities of which there is basically one and a half let's say only about 30 years old and so it's kind of very interesting to be there and to kind of collaborate on some new research initiatives with the faculty there so for those of you who you know from the colleagues here who got tenure or are about to get tenure and we'll have a sabbatical the Fulbright program is a great way to go do something new and interesting okay so that's my plug about my view next week but let me tell you a little bit about my research group so I wouldn't be here without the the the significant efforts of the very talented students and researchers that I work with so here's the evolution of the group from 2017 that was my second year at Purdue to 2021 I guess we didn't take a picture last year and 2020 is missing as well we didn't we didn't take our customary zoom photo but but what do we do so the name for the group is transport modeling numerics and theory it's a bit of a mouthful but what we're interested in is transport so how do things flow where do they go why did they flow how do they flow we have to come up with basic equations for that mathematical theories that's the modeling part we have to solve them somehow you're using mathematics or simulations or something else and then we like to have fun as well so you might notice that the the acronym for the lab TMNT also also spells something that's from the 90s might remember the the teenage ninja mutant turtles so that's an Easter egg if anybody caught it but here it is so so what do we work on work on many things as Nicole mentioned here's a little collage of some of them it's not it's not exhaustive but the things that we're very active in is flow and just deformation so you see here is actually a collaboration with a vitally raised in biomedical engineering this is flow in an aneurysm so this is a model created from an actual MRI image of an aneurysm in a patient and we've running simulations here where you see the flow in there that's what the stream lines are showing you as well as the deformation of it on a more basic level we're just interested also in the deformation of things like just channels or rectangular channel a very basic kind of fluid mechanical problem we're also working suspensions that's what the picture on the right is so it's a kind of particularly interesting micro mixer element in which there's a suspension flow and you see the particles which are quantified by the volume fraction and in color they kind of seem to go to the corners up here and we can explain that and have some detailed simulations of that as well somewhere in my past I worked on granular materials these are powders so here's some interesting patterns that's from my PhD work of how red particles and black particles separate and and form really interesting patterns in when they're agitated in certain ways so that's sort of a little overview of what we do but I'd like to tell you sort of how we think about research I think that's maybe helpful for those of which are not in the field maybe even the students first of all our mission statement it's kind of a mouthful right we're interested in things that are flowing fluid solid gases we like to explain experiments that people have made on this kind of things and like to make progress on fundamental problems basic stuff and that's really my goal in my research has been for a long time is to we want to generate new knowledge when I see something something that somebody has observed measured an experiment and we'd like to explain it and if we can then maybe generate some new knowledge right some new fundamental insights and so in the limited time that I have I'll tell you about just one of the the major research directions and a little bit of our success there to do so make oh sorry I forgot before before I tell you about that that particular example let me tell you how we go about research right we're interested in generating new scientific knowledge and and you know before I was at Purdue actually spent two years as the Richard P. Feynman postdoctoral fellow at Los Halls National Lab and so I read some of Richard Feynman's writings he has a lot of them maybe many of you have read them as well popular books and stories and so forth but I'm sort of interested in you know how he thought about research and because that time as a postdoc I was trying to figure out what am I going to do how am I going to think about research if I want to be a faculty member and one very nice quote is the very top where he says this is a letter he wrote to one of his students who had some questions to him so he says it though the worth all problems are the ones you can really solve or help solve all right so if you can make a contribution you should nothing that's that's the way I read it right no problem is too small to trivial if you can really make a new contribution generate some new knowledge solve the problem and another quote that I really like from him it's a little bit different this is a very famous address he gave to Caltech to Caltech's undergraduates in 1974 the commencement address it's called cargo code science there's a lot of interesting things in there but one thing he talks one thing he talks about is the importance of integrity in scientific research and he could read that he could read a number of different ways but but the sort of quote always stuck out stood out to me the bending over backwards to show you're maybe wrong right so you have to be your in science sometimes you have to be your own biggest critic you have to make sure whatever you're saying really is true you can back it up you can you can you really have discovered something you know just making big bold claims to get some press right so I think that's that's sort of one thing that also struck me about how he thought that you should sort of take on no problem is too small but even then you should just make sure that whatever you're doing is important and correct then and and you've really made sure of that okay so I will show you one technical slide and this is actually a slide from my course and me 308 is the undergraduate fluid mechanics course in a mechanical engineering and it's about flowing a pipe so this is we call fully developed laminar flow flowing a pipe down here this is something that every mechanical engineer every civil engineer anyone has to do anything to do with flows learns about how does a fluid flow in a pipe and what one very fundamental thing we know about that great days back to the 1800s is the so-called Hagen Poise law so it tells you that you have a pipe here it is just a piece of pipe and you have some flow coming in some amount of fluid then the amount of that you can push through the flow rate the amount of fluid per unit time is directly proportional to the pressure drops of the pressure difference the amount of force you're applying to push the fluid through and in one small miracle this this this proportionality can be derived from the basic equations of fluid mechanics as this equation here in the middle right so the fluids viscosity the length of the pipe the radius of the pipe and some numbers like 8 and pi show up right so it's a very basic fundamental law everybody who's ever studied any kind of pipe flows hydraulics has to learn about it this back to Hagen Poise one of the things that I'm most proud of from what we've done in our research group in the last six years is we've kind of come up with generalizations of this law that we call sort of soft hydraulics so I say okay well this is for a rigid pipe going back to the 1800s where the pipe can deform due to the flow as the pipe changes shape that changes the flow the flow that forms a pipe back and forth it's it's coupled in this kind of infinite loop and so we've developed sort of a very general theory we call soft hydraulics of how this flows go through to soft confinement so here's what one equation that we've come up with but but I'm pretty particularly proud of that is because this is sort of a mathematical result right just like how the Hagen Poise law here's the viscosity the length this were a channel the height the width and then there's some other stuff here that we actually have calculated exactly starting from the basic equations of fluid mechanics and solid mechanics right this thing can deform so you need to know some fluid mechanics and some solid mechanics anyway so along the way we got some press so for example we had a nice sort of nice little story that came out rewriting the book on on the fluid mechanics of blood vessels because it turns out once we solve this there's equations got this kind of basic laws from scratch it turns out some of the equations you will find from for example blood vessels which are deforming pipes in some of the biomechanics textbook we're not quite accurate and we got some attention for that here this was an editor choice article in this journal which has a very very long name but some of you in fluid mechanics might recognize there's this the journal where Prento published his boundary layer theory in the 1900s it's kind of a well-known mechanics journal even though it's kind of hard to hard to pronounce if you're not German anyway so I think I have only about a minute or two left so I want to say one particular place where I see a lot of applications of our results and that's why I'm very excited about them is in this idea of microfluidic hydraulic circuits so maybe some of you have seen this very nice analogy between electrical circuits and hydraulic circuits right a battery can generate a voltage difference which can drive electric current and resistors can slow down will provide resistance in the fluid analogy a pump can provide a pressure difference which can drive a flow and then deformations contractions of the pipe can lead to resistance and that's very classic based on sort of rigid pipes now the pipes are soft as I showed you before then this resistance to the flow can depend also not just in the pipe and the pipe and the fluid properties but in the pressure itself there's some kind of self-regulating kind of resistor and people are thinking about that in particular I was very excited there's a group in Denmark that I just saw in November who are trying to use our theory to explain certain certain features of self-regulating biological valves certain valves in the circulatory system of animals and mammals that can have some sort of self-regulating properties and that can be maybe explained by the fact that they're not rigid pipes they're soft pipes and the resistance can depend on the pressure so that's one little interesting thing that I want to point out so anyways I just say something about what's next I think my time is running out there's a lot of interesting things that I don't like to work on we've figured out hydraulic resistance but what about capacitance impedance these are also concepts from hydro from electrical circuits that can be generalized to hydraulic circuits and I think we don't know anything about them so so I'd like to do that and maybe if you can take just 10 more seconds I was really curious to see this this story APS is the American Physical Society that's the major society in my field and Sidney Nagel from the University of Chicago actually works in my area I've read a lot of his papers he won the APS medal which is the highest medal for research and given by the society and this was just last month and he was asked you know so now that you you've reached the top of the field you won the biggest research medal from your society what what are you going to do next there's one problem you could work on what would it be if there's one thing you can solve and become famous for what would it be and he says you know now I'm not interested in that I'll just try to have fun it's very much the process that's fun and I kind of like that right it's about discovering things it's about no problem is too small it's about sort of solving something and and the pleasure is in that not necessarily in in getting a lot of fame so anyways I think my time is up and I'll stop there thank you thanks Ivan are there any questions for him I saw that you work on the soft hydraulic circuits and the applications that you mentioned were more towards you know biology like blood vessels and things are there like any engineering applications too yeah so I think the the applications of the hydraulic things to to blood vessels things like that are the easiest ones to I think kind of understand to visualize but actually microfluidics people are interested in this as well because you would like to miniaturize things like assays and testing and things like that to sort of small devices tiny channels etched on a little soft PDMS chip and in that case you have to understand the hydraulic circuit as well you have to know how much pressure you have to put in to drive the the flow through it maybe have a reagent that has to mix with something if you're doing a assay or test and I think people were interested in that in that area as well in fact actually my my interest in this arose from that from microfluidics people are trying to design labs on a chip and and we saw some problems there had not been understood or solved anyone else yeah hi firstly thanks a lot for your talk it was really interesting and informative so I had a question on basically how you approach research because you already spoke about it right so I've noticed that you've done a lot of theoretical work as you showed from that beautiful equation so and you told that you want to work on problems that you can solve so how is it that you find like what's the process behind that you know finding problems that are easy enough to solve and are also I mean they are also important yeah that's a great question I think every PhD student has to eventually face that question what is the problem you can solve and is actually worth solving you know it's not very easy to answer sometimes we attempt to solve a problem we don't or we put aside it takes a long time come back to them figured out it's kind of hard so I think it takes a lot of sort of guessing and iterations I would say and I think working with sort of telling the students and postdocs I think helps a lot so it sit down I mean we brainstorm the ideas okay so you know somebody measured this they didn't explain it can we explain it and then we start working on it and see see how far we can go and if we can't maybe we sort of put aside and go back but but maybe just to make one particular point is that yeah we a lot of theory but we're driven by by sort of questions in the field right so maybe read a paper somebody has measured something and they say we don't know why this depends on that but they measured it right X depends on why it was a measurement why and so that's that's kind of how we usually start on finding problems that we think are interesting to solve somebody's measure something they can explain it maybe we can and then and then whether we can or not depends a lot right so I think there's been always some dead ends in every in every research program every PhD but you kind of try to try to iterate until you find the one you can solve anybody else we have time for one more well Ivan I guess I can ask a quick question so since you won that mentoring award do you have any advice for some and maybe the junior faculty sitting in here who you could kind of share some of the the keys that you think led to that award that your students really appreciate about your mentoring style sure so I guess you know everyone has their own mentoring style everyone has their different research groups some are small some are big I think what works for me because the kind of research that we do is to maintain sort of a smaller research group maybe four to five graduate students that any given time and kind of work closely with them especially if we have to kind of come up with some some some theories of some difficult equations I think it helps a lot to do to work hand-in-hand so it's kind of very collaborative style so that's my style of mentoring them and I think some students have appreciated that I think the other thing that I think someone appreciated and maybe you're all about in that nomination was that you know kind of helping them figure out what what they want to do as well right so I want student I wanted to pick up a master's in statistics to help her also with her mechanical engineering PhD get into something more more some more some more different kind of feels like machine learning and data science things that apply to engineering and so I think being supportive and trying to figure out a way to help them do that while also getting our research done I think they appreciated it so kind of trying to help them realize their own goals as well as kind of working hands on with them thank you oh we got another question way back in the corner Ivan so this is a question very specifically for you know fluid mechanics professor right what's your favorite non-dimensional number and if there were to be a Kristoff number right based on all these you know flexible hydrodynamics what would it capture what's not been captured by by those numbers two-part question what's my favorite one well I think I think our Reynolds number will be two will be two to simple as everybody knows about that one is their favorite but but in fact we did we did actually in all of this there is a non-dimensional number here it's hiding somewhere in this expression it involves a pressure a young's modulus and some geometric factors and so that that number we were we were boring we called it the fluid structure interaction parameter a big mouthful but it is a dimensions number that quantifies how much can the walls the channel bend the bending on the pressure within the channel so if it's very low it cannot bend very much very little deformation no matter how much pressure you put in if it's very high you get a lot of deformation for the pressure maybe a compliance parameter might be a better thing but there's one very particular one that comes out of here that involves like a width a height a young's modulus and a pressure drop so maybe that's my favorite one right now or there's many versions of it depending on the geometry but yeah okay all right thank you so much


Hi, my name is Jackie. I'm the nurse from Professional Supplement Center and today I'd like to tell you about a product from metagenics called Vessel Care. Vessel Care is a comprehensive formula that supports overall cardiovascular health and helps maintain healthy homocysteine levels which influence vascular health and blood flow. Homocysteine is a common amino acid and a byproduct of protein metabolism. Elevated homocysteine levels are thought to contribute to plaque formation and arterial wall damage and are associated with an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, and blood clot formation. Blood levels of homocysteine tend to be elevated in people whose diets are high in animal protein and low in fruits and vegetables, which can result in deficiencies in vitamin B6, B12, and folic acid. Vessel Care contains key synergistic ingredients that support healthy homocysteine metabolism and aid the body in reducing elevated homocysteine levels. This non-GMO formulation is gluten-soy and dairy-free and includes beneficial levels of nature, identical folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, intrinsic factor which promotes the absorption of vitamin B12. Metagenics recommends taking one tablet daily or take as recommended by your health care professional. Here's what some of our customers have to say about their experience with Vessel Care. Mr. P. from California says, we are very satisfied with the health results and the quality of this product. Dawn from Texas says, great product and a very fast delivery. Jennifer from Florida says, I highly recommend Vessel Care and Metagenics. If you have any questions about Vessel Care for Metagenics, please call or email professional supplement center.


There are many places on our planet so remote or little mentioned that much of the world has never heard of said sites, and the great Salbic Kurgan is one such example of an incredible ruin that has been largely forgotten or overlooked by modern academic study. Clearly of a Neolithic age, the thing which is most striking regarding the ruin is the sheer size of the megalithic blocks which make up the main structure. Located by many as the most majestic and mysterious ancient monument of southern Siberia, the mound is located in what is locally known as the so-called Siberian Valley of the Kings, where several thousand years ago it is claimed that there existed a kingdom, one made up of a people once known as the Tagars. Thus, the age monument has been pinned on said culprits, with an age of around 2300 to 2500 years attributed to the site. The main earthwork is a stone square mound 70 meters by 70 meters in size, as mentioned, huge slabs of Devonian sandstone. Some estimated as weighing as much as 50 to 70 tons were somehow once inexplicably delivered to the site from a quarry site of over 100 kilometers away found upon the banks of the Yenisei River. It is believed that it was an ancient temple and at a later date an ancient astronomical observatory, which like most other Neolithic sites incorporates processional cycles in its alignment, showing the movement of the sun and the moon. As mentioned, it still remains a complete mystery as to what devices were once utilized for the importation and installation of these gigantic stones. At the corners and sides of the stone fences are deeply driven large moneers. All 23 stones are of an enormous site. Measuring up to a height of 6 meters, there are clearly smoking guns flying in the face of upheld academic fallacies. The rare excavations and explorations noted as having been undertaken at the site note that before the construction of the giant earth embankment and its accompanying stone fence, there was a crypt of logs in its place, once in the form of a truncated pyramid. This whole crypt can be found inside the huge earthwork, preserved beneath, untouched, yet covered with a thick layer of bark. The crypt had the height of 2.5 meters in depth of 2 meters of water covered the pit. It is claimed that around the burial zone, for a long time a strong anomaly has continually been observed. The study of these phenomena has indeed been engaged by scholars, but the pace of said explorations has been suspiciously slow paced. Who built the great Salbiq Kurgan? How were these huge stones transported to the site and once driven into the earth at the site? What is this quote, strong anomaly? More investigation and popularization of the site is desperately needed. It is a place which we find highly compelling. Thanks for watching guys and until next time, take care.


hey guys welcome back so today we have another mod showcase and today's mod showcase that's a model swap so the model swap in question is adult Veronica in the game so let's take a look at her right here so there's there's adult Veronica and she's actually Serena with Veronica's character model mapped on to her Veronica's adult model is in the game as a hidden file as a ninth party member and mapping her on to Serena she works perfectly so let's talk to her actually so you looks pretty great and if we want to zoom in on Serena and take a quick closer look we can do that so here is the adult Veronica model as you can see it mapped on perfectly it there's no issues at all with it it's meant for Serena's body pretty much because they're twins so their bodies are the same size and shape and it's pretty much perfect for her of course she is not a destruction mage like Veronica so she will be helping us out with some support spells and we can jump right into a battle and see how that works out so let's let's go right ahead and fight some monsters with Veronica adult Veronica I don't know if I'm a dragon I've got some hammer hoods all right good amount of monsters here so there's everybody right now Eric will just one shot these guys so we'll uh we'll give her some room to show her stuff off all right so there is adult Veronica that's how she looks like as you can see her eyes are looking at the enemy even though she's turning around and her clothes have proper physics and everything when she walks around it just looks really great I mean it looks perfect honestly they should put her adult Veronica in the game as a character that you could play as like that would be a really cool DLC if it was official because it would be cool you could use her as a destruction mage I'm guessing is that Act 2 you could probably do the same mod and use Serena's destruction spells and you'll basically just have adult Veronica but that's basically how she looks like even her her pigtails move around and everything the physics on this it's almost like it was meant to be a 9th party member but they scrapped it or something because it just works perfectly so if we if we tack these guys what could she do to attack them yeah let's do one of this intense cursed incitation that sends all enemies and it worked pretty well we'll give her a little bit of room still this is a really big area to run around in the heck yeah there's adult Veronica again I want to close her look at her it pretty much looks perfect let's try swoosh cuss swoosh or actually cuss swooshal destruction that was cool now let's zoom to a campsite real quick because I want to check out how she looks at a campsite yeah we're not all right so let's check out the two sisters sitting next to each other and see how that looks there's Veronica and Veronica sitting next to each other yeah that's kind of weird it works though and let's see what her younger counterpart has to say yeah they look pretty fine oh get too close all right so that's how Serena looks in Veronica's outfit now we could try some destruction spells out because I do have a save file before that but for now I think we'll just end it here and if you want to check out this mod you need it download a cheat table for the game that allows you to do model swaps which I will link at the description below so be sure check that out if you want an adult Veronica on your team so yeah thanks for watching the video I hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you guys next time


This is my LEGO Saturn V and speaking of the Saturn V a lot of you guys have asked What happened to the upper S4-B stage that launched Apollo to the moon? Well, it was smashed, but smashed for science. All right, here is the Saturn V as much of it as I can fit in this shot. Everything below my right hand here all the way down to the engine bells on this end are the first and second stages. These are the two stages that really did the heavy lifting to get it off the ground. The S4-B stage had a bit of a different purpose. On any Apollo mission to the moon this was the payload that reached Earth orbit. This is the S4-B stage, the third stage of the Saturn V. This is the adapter section that housed the lunar module while it was launched. Here's the service module, the command module, and this is the launch escape tower that was jettisoned quite early in the launch, relatively speaking. So the S4-B stage served two purposes, getting a crew to the moon. The first was that it used its single engine to help get the payload into orbit. So it did fire a little bit during that initial launch, but once it was in orbit this whole stack together minus the launch escape tower, well, should be off from this point, but you get the idea. This whole thing hung out in orbit for a few hours while the crew and Houston did all the systems checks to make sure that everything was ready to go to the moon. So once the crew did get a go for the moon, they had to relight the S4-B's single engine. Now, this would be a burn that would give it enough energy to leave Earth orbit and send it on a trajectory to the moon. Of course, as we know, this whole thing didn't go to the moon and stay in orbit. It was only the service module and the command module that stayed in orbit while the lunar module descended to the surface. So what happened to this? Well, it also went to the moon, only not with a beautifully controlled landing with humans on board. Not long after the translunar injection burn, slash the burn that took them to the moon, it was time for transposition and docking, which is the fancy pants name for turning around and picking up the lunar module. So the crew would separate out the command service module from the adapter section, pull forward, turn around, and then go into dock with the lunar module, which I sadly don't have in this adapter section, but you can imagine what it would look like. Then they would separate the lunar module from the adapter section, leaving the S4-B stage alone.  So what we would end up with was just this section of the rocket stage. Now, the act of separating the docked command service and lunar modules from the S4-B stage wasn't enough to put any serious distance between the two vehicles. They would not be together, they would not be flying side by side, but they were both on the same trajectory to the moon, which could be kind of dangerous. So NASA figured out a way to make the S4-B stage not smash into the spacecraft with the crew on board. After the S4-B had finished its useful role in the mission, it still had some propellant on board. So controllers on the ground used the auxiliary propulsion system for a burn to put it on a slightly different trajectory than the spacecraft. Now, the exact trajectory depended on the mission. For Apollo's 8, 10, and 11, the S4-B stage was put into lunar orbit. Apollo 12's S4-B was put into Earth orbit. Starting with Apollo 13, however, things got a little bit more interesting. Every lunar landing crew reached the surface with a suite of science instruments in tow, including the ALCEPS, the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Package, or in the case of Apollo 11, the ESAP, the Early Apollo Surface Experiment Package. Among the ALCEPS were seismometers and other instruments to measure the force and the effects of meteorite impacts, of moonquakes, and to calibrate these instruments, NASA needed a known data point. Re-enter the S4-B stage. The S4-Bs from Apollo's 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 were all crashed into the moon. They were crashed at known points at known times to give scientists back on Earth a chance to calibrate their seismometer experiments left by the astronauts. And of course, because every mission left another instrument, the data just got better as there were more and more instruments picking up the crashes of the S4-Bs. And it wasn't just the S4-Bs that were smashed for science. The lunar module-assent stages were also often crashed into the moon for the sake of data points. I've got a video about that right up here. So all the first and second stages of the Saturn V crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, the third stage of that rocket crashed into the oceans on the moon, and also the planes and probably some highlands. If you would like to know more about the experiments that use the crashing S4-Bs as data points, check out my companion blog post over on Discover. I go into more detail, so check that out if you still have questions. But also, let me know what else you want to know about in the comments section below and things for future episodes and all that fun stuff.

So, today I am going to discuss about a numerical example on analysis and analysis of multi span continuous RCC beam, learning outcomes. At the end of this session the viewers will be able to analyze multi span RCC continuous beam that is they will be able to determine the bending moment and shear force at critical sections of a multi span continuous beam. Example analyze a continuous rectangular beam having 5 spans of each 6 meter to carry a dead load of 10 kilo Newton per meter and a live load of 13 kilo Newton per meter as shown in figure below this is the figure. The beam is continuous over 6 columns use M20 concrete and Fe 4 and 5 steel. So, this is a 5 span 6 meter each a continuous beam over which we are having a dead load and a live load acting on it both are uniform distributed loads. Solution given data span is 6 meter each span is 6 meter WD is 10 kilo Newton per meter WL that is live load is 13 kilo Newton per meter FCK that is characteristic strength is 20 Newton per Newton square and the yield strength of steel FY is 4 and 5 Newton per Newton square. Step 1 cross sectional dimensions assume the effective depth D. So, first of all we are supposed to finalize the cross assume some cross sectional dimensions. So, assume effective depth D which is taken usually 115 to 120th of the span span is 6000 year. So, therefore, 6000 mm therefore, D was sort to be 430 mm the overall depth D capital D it is equal to 430 mm plus 50 mm effective cover effective cover means it is up to the center of steel clear cover plus half the diameter of the bar is effective cover. So, here we have taken 50 mm. So, therefore, the overall depth work out to be 480 mm and assume a breadth of 230 mm. Then second step bending moment at critical sections we are going to determine the bending moment at different critical sections. The self weight of the beam is to be calculated which is equal to breadth into overall depth of the beam into density of concrete. So, density of concrete is 25 kilo Newton per qubit meter. So, self weight of beam is equal to 0.23 this is the breadth in meter 0.48 is the overall depth in meter and 25 kilo Newton per cubic meter is density of concrete. So, therefore, the self weight of the beam was sort to be 2.76 kilo Newton per meter dead load 10 kilo Newton per meter assume a finish a finishing load of 0.6 kilo Newton per meter. So, total dead load WD is equal to 13.36 kilo Newton per meter whereas, WL is given as 13 kilo Newton per meter. So, referring table number 12 of IS 456 for bending moment coefficients. So, this is the table number 12 of the IS 456 2000. So, bending moment coefficients are given for both first column it deals with dead load and live load types of loads and we get span moments that is near middle of end span we have the coefficients and at middle of interior span we have the coefficients. So, that means, we have to find out what is the bending moment by using these coefficients. So, that is near middle of end span. So, by using these coefficients at the middle of interior span similarly, so for support moments we are having at the support next to the end support we are having coefficients for this. So, this negative sign indicated is hugging moment and here the positive sign indicates it is sagging moment. So, at the other interior supports we are having again negative moment. So, here is the bending moment diagram I have drawn. So, here you find this is a 5 span continuous beam. So, having each 6 meter span having WD and WL. So, first of all we have seen the span moments there are two columns in the span moment that is at the middle of the end span and at the interior middle of the interior spans. So, therefore, this is M1 and this is M2 both are sagging and next we have seen span moments span moments means that over the support. So, here this is span moment M3 this is maximum. So, it is at the support to the next to end support and these are M3 and M4 it is at the interior supports. So, that means we are supposed to calculate a totally four moments. So, two span moments that is M1 and M2 and two support moments that is M3 and M4 out of these three highest is M3. So, here I have calculated the bending moment at critical section that is span moment M1 near middle of the end span. So, it is the coefficient one-twelfth of WDL square and plus one-tenth of WLL square. So, it was sort to be 86.88 kilo Newton meter then M2 it is again at the middle span of the interior spans that is one-sixteenth of WDL square plus one-twelfth of WLL square that was sort to be 69.06 kilo Newton per meter where WDL and WL are dead load and live load. So, next bending moment hogging that is negative with negative coefficient we have seen at the support next to end support here one-tenth of WDL square one-tenth of WLL into L square wherein we get it as 100.096 kilo Newton meter then M4 that is at the interior support. So, we get the one-twelfth of WDL square plus one-tenth of WLL into L square that is 98.08 kilo Newton meter. So, that means, so support moments are higher in comparison with the span moments where we will be the maximum bending moment and what is its numerical value. So, overall we are supposed to find out the highest bending moment acting in the continuous beam. So, therefore, where will be the maximum bending moment and what is its numerical value. So, please answer it the moment is maximum at support next to end support as per table number 12 of IS 4562000 M3 that is the maximum moment at the support next to end support which is given by one-tenth of WDL square plus one-tenth of WLL into L square. So, that was sort to be 100.096 kilo Newton meter. The maximum moment is usually considered for assuming the sections. So, therefore, the maximum factored bending moment Mu it is to be multiplied 100 point M is to be multiplied by 1.5 that is 1.5.100 into 100.096 that also to be 150.144 kilo Newton meter. Next step shear force at critical sections total dead load WD is 13.36 kilo Newton per meter live load WL is 13 kilo Newton per meter. So, we are supposed to refer table 13 of IS 456 for shear force coefficients. So, this is table number 13 of IS 456. So, here first column it indicates types of loads that is dead load and imposed load then next second column it is the coefficients at end support. So, it is 0.4 for dead load 0.45 for live load then at support next to the end support. So, outer side it is 0.6.6 and inner side it is 0.55 and 0.6 and at all interior supports it is 0.5 and 0.6. So, this is to be multiplied by the WD into L that is for dead load and coefficient coefficient into WD into L and for imposed load it is coefficient into WD into L. So, therefore, as for the this particular coefficients we get we are supposed to determine the shear force at these four sections. So, this is the first section at the support outer support then next here that is at support next to end support this is highest which is having 0.6 WD into L plus 0.6 WL into L then next this is at interior support and again this is again at last support. So, here are the shear forces shear force at critical sections V 1 at the end support we get 0.4 WD into L plus 0.45 WL into L that was sort to be 67.164 kilo Newton at the support next to the end support this is highest V 2 that is outer side we get 0.6 WD into L plus 0.6 WL into L it is 94.896 kilo Newton then next to the V 3 that is at all interior support it is 86.88 kilo Newton where will be the maximum shear force and what is its numerical value the maximum shear force occurs outer at outer side of the support next to end support at the next at the support next to end support we get V 2 that is outer side it is 0.6 WD into L plus 0.6 WL into L which was sort to be 94.896 the maximum factored shear force it is V U it is equal to 1.5 times 94.896 that is 142.344 kilo Newton. So, these are the references used for the preparing this particular presentation. Thank you and end all.


The V-Pile system is an innovative pile installation system that utilizes unique indirect hydraulic jacking technology. This is how it works. The rig's position and the stabilizer ramp at each corner of the rig is activated to maintain stability, especially in uneven terrain. A pile section is lifted by cable winch and fixed into the drive compartment of the mast. Hydraulic clamps are closed in to secure the pile in position. The pile is driven via a hydraulic jack that applies a downward thrust to the top of the pile via the thrust plate. When the pile is driven to half its length, the jack is raised and dolly inserted between the pile and the thrust plate. The jacking procedure continues until the pile is driven to its full length. No hammering, no noise, no vibration and no pollution. There's more. Movement of the machine is incredibly easy and convenient. Move it sideways, move it forward and backward. Its base rollers positioned on transfer pipes make motion amazingly simple. Very importantly, the V-Pile goes where other systems can't in restricted headroom areas where space is at a premium. You'll find the V-Pile there, working quietly and efficiently. Reliability is an inbuilt feature of the V-Pile system. Installation procedures are such that each pile is individually test loaded. This is reliability assurance that traditional systems cannot directly provide.


Hi everybody, welcome back to my channel. I thought it would be fun today to sit down and design my entire bedroom with you guys. And this really isn't something I do for all of my makeovers, as many of you know if you've watched my channel in the past. And also if you're wondering where I'm at right now, I'm in my little office space that I just recently transformed. This area in front of me used to all be built-in cabinetry that I just never used. I love it so, so much. And if you watch those videos, you would know that this space actually transitions into my bathroom here, and then my bedroom's just right on the opposite side. So the next room that we are going to be working on in the house is my bedroom. I'm going to pop up some clips of my bedroom here. It is such a beautiful space. It kind of has this little bay window pop-out section on the back side. And I've been thinking about this space for probably a good two months now, and I feel like I have a grasp on like what general idea I want to do, but today we're going to build it out together and kind of get the entire room designed on a board and share with you my design process, some of the preliminary steps that I take along the way, and also we might order some things and find some stuff on Marketplace. So let me share with you what we're working with. Also quickly, totally forgot to mention, we are having a 15% off site-wide sale over on Lone Fox for Valentine's Day, and you all know, I love you guys so much. So definitely take advantage of that site-wide and orders over 99 always ship for free. I pulled up my middle of the board here and we're probably going to primarily be on this screen just so you guys can kind of see the whole process of everything I'm doing. And also, if you have no idea what Mila Note actually is, this is not sponsored. I just absolutely love using them for all my projects. So any type of design project, my design projects are here. I also curate kind of mood boards here and do a lot of that stuff in this area. It's almost like Pinterest. If you were able to create your own pin boards and then move everything around and kind of customize it, that's why I love it. So I want to share with you kind of some of what I've already decided for this bedroom. I've had this inspo photo saved for probably two and a half, three months now, and this photo is the one that I'm using for color reference. I have absolutely been loving like a light, buttery yellow with kind of like a navy or a royal blue, that combination. If you remember the dog bed that I shared in the Winston video when I got him, we just found a dog bed that matches the color palette of my room makeover, which has not come to the channel yet. That was kind of like the key color palette. I do think the ceiling mustard tone is not what I want to go for. So I am going to go ahead and just kind of screenshot this image, just probably right about here ish, and we're going to add it to our milan outboard. So I just added and dropped that in. This is just going to give us a little bit more of kind of a guideline, really like the yellowy cream colored wall. And I like the tone change above that. So I really want to do that in my room where the ceiling has a little bit of a darker tone than the wall. And it's separated by two blue lines. So the background color that you see is tallow from Farrow and Ball. And then this color here is Farrow's cream, also from Farrow and Ball. And then we have a Hogue or Hogue blue. And these are the colors I think I'm going to be using. I still have to test them, of course, when we get into the actual makeover process in the bedroom. I love the colors together. So I decided to create the backdrop as what the wall would be so we can add our items on top and kind of build a little bit of a mood board. I have my bed. I absolutely love this bed so much. It is from Creighton Barrel and Jake Arnold. So I'm going to be keeping this in the room. And I love how it goes with our color palette already. I took advantage of one of CB2's sales that they had over the holiday time and I got this light here. It's like the Bruna. This here is what it looks like on. I think it's such a beautiful light. And I have this vision of actually almost hanging as a flush mount. So it's not really dropped as a chandelier in a lot of their inspo photos and how they share it and how it's also kind of sold. I think I want it to be almost flush mounted to the ceiling, but I got that on a great deal. And then over here, you can see this light, which these, I will actually share with you. About a year ago, I found these two oak style bird-less pendant lights and I haven't shared them yet because I knew I was going to save them for my bedroom. When I found them, I fell in love with them. They had these open slats on the bottom. I genuinely don't know how it's made because it's like one solid piece of wood. I have no idea. They're gorgeous. I took a photo, added it to the mood board because I want to put these on either side of my bed above the nightstands. I love the warmth. I love the grain. I kind of like how it channels the office of it. Actually, I might just go ahead and duplicate this and we can put one on either side of the bed. And because my room is on the larger side, Soho Home was so sweet and they're sending over this incredible lamp. This Winona floor lamp from Soho Home, I think is so cool. It actually has a leather wrapped base and then it has a linen shade. It's a side table. It's a cool piece because it's dual purpose but it has an interesting silhouette to it. I love the mix of materials. So that's everything I have an idea on in terms of inspiration, colors, and pieces I already own. I completely forgot. I have two chairs for my bedroom. I found like three weeks back on Marketplace. I just pulled up the listing. I got these leather armchairs for $100. And in these photos, they kind of look scary. And that's what I saw at first. He says they're vintage. So I ended up messaging and being like, do you know anything about these chairs? And he ended up saying that him and his wife got them at an antique shop in Belgium 25 years ago. They brought them to the US and they said that they just had them forever and that it just doesn't fit in the new size of space. That they got and they were actually moving in when I went and picked them up. These are like antique Belgian leather chairs. If I had these fixed up, these are like a $4,000 or $5,000 pair of chairs if you were to go to like a really nice antique shop and you were to see these. The shape on the back is just so, so beautiful. I just love these chairs so, so much. And I got them for $100, you guys. So those absolutely are going to be the chairs. And I know this photo right here is not that great, but those are the chairs I'm thinking are gonna go in between the light. Now, of course I'm gonna get the chairs kind of fixed up a little bit, make the tone a little bit more even. However, I do love that patina on there and then fix some of the more intense kind of leather rips and areas. But I'm thinking those are gonna be our chairs. Now we do need some nightstands and something I'll say is I just don't love my current nightstands. They actually just have two doors that open like this. And I really want a nightstand with a drawer. Like I find myself using a drawer so much more than like cabinet doors in a nightstand. I just don't wanna get out of my bed, have to go open up the doors. It's nice to pull a drawer out when you're in bed, you know? So I wanna find some nightstands with a drawer. Let's start with Marketplace. Okay, so these are $600.  So these are really beautiful for the 24 wide, which is pretty nice. It would really match the pendants nicely though. Like it feels like they might go together and mesh well. Pop a little image of those in here. This is what I love doing, just kind of adding this and kind of seeing what the vibe could be. And I do really love the addition of that wood, any bit of warmth I can add to a space. So a nightstand like that could be quite nice. Here's a pair of 1970s Brutalist. Oh, these are kind of interesting. I wish they were a little bit wider, but I could actually see something like that working as well. Let's also just go ahead and do a little browse on the internet. Look at these nightstands. How wide are these dimensions? 31.25. These are almost like little tables, but they have a marble top on them. And they're on clearance. They're normally 7.99. They're 3.19 each. Really pretty. And the wood tone is identical to, I mean, the one of the light. They have a drawer on them, just like a simple drawer. Swap. Let's do, oh, we can even put two. Oh my gosh, these are pretty. You guys, look at the greenish tone with the bed. I think that's really pretty. I'm gonna duplicate it actually and pop it over here. I mean, the clearance price is great too, and it has a pretty marble. I think we might stick with that nightstand. For something else I really wanna look for is an armoire, or like some sort of big cabinet hutch piece that I could put my TV in that goes in front of my bed.  I don't use dresser drawers. I just don't use drawers when it comes to clothing. I really love hanging all my clothing. And I think a large armoire, or like a hutch, it's English pine cabinet. Like something kind of just like natural, super pretty. You can see this was even like, this was actually a TV kind of console beforehand as well. This one's only $300, which is quite a decent price for such a large hutch. This is really great. I probably would swap the hardware on it, but that's beautiful. I mean, 300 bucks? I could probably get it a little less too. That's a good option. Oh my gosh, you guys, look at this. Look at this armoire. Over 100 years old distressed antique armoire, 46 by 16 by 70. That is so, so pretty. I love the finish, like the chippy paint finish on there. This is something where I might want to like screenshot this so we could pop it over into our board. Oh my gosh. I want to do the English pine one too. That one has a little bit more warmth, which is also super pretty. The painted armoire kind of has a bit more of an elevated designer feel to it, whereas the pine one kind of has a little bit more of a homey, just warm kind of feel to it. The one for 1400 really for the price and for it being an actual antique, I don't think it's like insanely out of touch for the price point, but it is a little more expensive. I think I do like it a little more than the pine one though, but that's something I can kind of start looking for over the course, but this gives me a little bit of a good direction or kind of starting point for that. I also have the two pages, the linen Roman shade in my office area. And I think I want to bring that throughout the entire bedroom as well and just go with a nice light kind of creamy white color. Something that's going to be a bit different from the walls because the walls are going to kind of take on a little bit of a yellow tone. I'm going to screenshot these Roman shades and kind of add it in the background. And I also don't know if I really touched on the rug. Lolloi was so sweet and they are gifting me a rug for my bedroom, which is so kind of them. And I ended up opting for this one, which is the Bellamy collection. This is the BEL-01 in the color Oakmeal. And I am basically getting this rug to go wall to wall in my bedroom. Not actually wall to wall, but the size I'm getting is extremely large because I want it to fill up the whole room. I want the sitting area and the bed and the nightstands like everything to kind of feel like it's on top of the rug and almost like there's a carpet in the room at the same time. I love the texture of the rug here though. I'm actually going to add that photo in. I feel like this actually is probably a bulk of the furniture that's going to be added to the room. I also have this idea of putting an antique door on my closet. There's some great salvage lots in Los Angeles where you can find cool doors. And I just feel like my clothes and everything, I love the textures and colors. Whenever I walk in my closet, I love the way it looks. And I feel like having like some modeled or like old glass that just kind of lets you see in a bit would be great. So I'm going to screenshot this door and add it as well, just to bring a little bit more direction to the space. I want to find a door similar to this, maybe that has glass on the top and then it's kind of like more solid on the bottom. I feel like that'd be so pretty. Just found a random piece of art online as kind of a placeholder just above the bed. The headboard shape is really pretty with that dip in the middle. And I think that kind of complements a nice piece of art in the center. Then we have our two wooden lights that are going to be hanging above the nightstands. I feel like for bedding, that's going to have to be something that I might have to add a little later on just because I feel like I'll need to see some of this stuff in the room to get an idea for bedding. I also have a bottle tree, kind of similar to this one, a little smaller. I've had it for like a year now. So I know that's going to also be going in there somewhere. I can actually get a little bit of a visual idea for how this is going to look. And I also came up with an idea while I was kind of looking at all of this.  I would love to have a lot of different art that kind of ever changes that changes here and there or I can keep some pieces that I love. I'm thinking of actually turning one of these blue stripes that are at the top up here into a picture rail. So adding a piece of molding all the way around, painting that picture rail blue and then doing just another stripe above it blue. That way art could be hung off the picture rail absolutely anywhere in the room. And I have a visual idea for hanging that as well that I think could be really cool. I also have one of these little bobbin stools. See this little bit of darkness up here just kind of adds to everything. It almost makes like everything come alive a little more. So I think that depth from here and also from the already done wood floors because that's also going to be an element that's not really shown on here since I do have dark wood floors. It's going to be really pretty in the space. Over on Lone Fox we're selling Sophie Lou Jacobson. Oh my gosh, no, the picture's sold out. I wanted to put this in mood board. I think it's so cute. So I think the silver is so pretty on the nightstand maybe on this one. And then we can do, I love these little pops of silver lately like something about silver and just have that over on our other nightstand. These kind of vintage style cushions from Soho Home are also so pretty. The little green pillow with the pattern is so cute. I'm gonna duplicate it and maybe we can just do two of those on the bed and keep it kind of simple. But I'm kind of loving the direction as to where this is going. And I'm so happy we just put this together because it gives me a little bit more insight on what to start looking for on Marketplace and keeping my eyes out for. And also when I go thrifting or antiquing, I can also keep that in mind because a lot of times when I'm sharing bits like this armoire over here is something you maybe could find at a thrift store. I am a thousand percent going to be ordering those nightstands from CB2. I hope they fit. I'm gonna have to measure quickly after just to make sure. Love the little bit of green on the bed too. I think green could be a nice kind of accent color to add in with the yellow and the blue. And a nice solo pop of red somewhere is also probably necessary. So I'd love to know your guys's thoughts on my bedroom space so far. This is a room that we are going to be working on next. Very, very shortly, honestly could potentially be the next video on the channel. And I'd love to know if you guys enjoyed this process of coming along kind of designing a space with me. I know I did have some of the initial pieces already added just because I knew I was gonna be using those. So let me know if you'd like to see more of these in the future on the channel. Until then, I will catch you all on my next one. And don't forget to also check out loanbox.com because we're having our 15% off Valentine's Day sale right now in order. So if we're 99, always ship free. So take advantage. And I'll catch you guys in my next one. Bye.


It wasn't perfect last night, but I did see more confidence out of him, even in his post-game presser when it comes to boys. Yeah, conviction, that definitely was a part of it. I always say like, you can tell how confident or convicted a quarterback is by just watching, if these are righty, his right leg go in the ground. If their right leg is in the ground and it looks like almost a pitcher does when they get to the top of their motion and their left leg lifts up and they're about to deliver the ball to home plate, like you could just watch how that right leg it's firmly planted into the ground and tries to press off or generate power off. And there was a lot more of that, because if you watch some guys, it doesn't look like they're real confident in the things that they're seeing and or where they're throwing with that leg. So that was definitely, it's hard. It's a really difficult position to play on a consistent basis when the expectation and pressure is so high.  I said, I never had to go in and play for a team that had this much talent. I never played for a team that had this much expectations. And I think the time around Aaron it will be well suited for him. But I think if you're the Jets, you sit there and go, if you can get what Zach Wilson gave you last night, if you can get the bat more often than not, they have a chance to win every game that they're gonna play on.
