Hi guys, my name is Ben. Hi, my name is Cameron. Hi guys, I am Amanda My name is Andra. Give me one for Sad Bahadran, I'm Marisa, Max, Rachel, Diego, Cassandra, Corinne, Jessica, Ryan and Lisa, Elias, Francesca, Edina, Ken, Maddie, Matt, Mike, Muhammad, Selene, Lydia and Zixana, Omar, Horan, Sara, Sylvia, Skye, Thelma, Tiffity, Yolanda, Harley, Tori, everybody! I just completed the 120 hour test certificate course. I wanted to take these courses to further my education in teaching English to students of other languages. I've recently completed the online TESOL course and I'm pleased to say that I've passed. I thoroughly enjoyed all 20 minutes. Yes, 20 minutes. It was great! I wanted to teach English in a foreign country therefore that's why I took this 120 hour online TEPL course and I have to say it was fun and very enjoyable. I just completed studying my TEPL online course. I really got a lot of resources from the courses. I'm glad to be part of this team now. I am using things I have learned from the course every day in my school and help you to find the kind of jobs or positions that you might be wanting. I would like to try some other courses as well. I chose this course because of its flexibility. Well-organized lessons, good material. I like the fact that I could do the course at my own pace. I was like, salt! I'm gonna do this! I felt more confident. I also appreciate the tutor help. I now have a binder for those lessons and tips and ideas. I just got a job today. We went to his interview and he fell straight away. Right now I teach English in China. I can take care of my kids and dealing with all day stuff of the house. I'm sure that you can be a better teacher too. I'm proud to say that I have passed the course. I moved to Mexico about a month ago and I got a job. Now I'm not searching for a job for a couple of days and I've already received several job offers. The IDT course was absolutely vital for my career. If I could do it, so can you. It's a certificate. I got this certificate. Here are our several certificates. Don't hesitate. Go ahead. Do it. That's a right course for you, so it's worth it. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks everyone. Thank you again IDT. Thank you so much. Good luck.

It is going to give you 10% off your total order. And the coupon code is bocatan or is it bocatan? Bocatan is bocatan tomato or tomato. Yeah, that's a that's this week's project. It's Bocatan is a Star Wars character. And Pedro will talk about it in a couple of moments as we get our browsers situated. We are good. Yeah, we are good. All right, you're up, man. All right, go ahead and get into this week's project. The Bocatan LED headband.  Yes, surface mount.  I have not seen these for sale anywhere. A lot of the ones that are up for purchase, I think it's just like the no LEDs in it. So definitely a good way to try to make one. And here's what it looks like off my head. Nice little diffusion on. And the way that we're doing the diffusion is with simple hot glue, which gives it this nice, glowy effect. You can see that the LEDs are all the way down on this side.  That's right. So here is some recesses on here that the LEDs are threaded to. You can see how that goes through there. And then we use the hot glue on top. We do some trimming of the because we sort of glob it on there. And because of the recess, it's able to fit into the shape of that.  So if you wanted to add more, I definitely have a bunch more nice detail all over the headband. Forget with that one guy on Instagram who has like makes like LED masks and all that. This would be a nice mix and miniature sized ones. The LEDs that we're using come with these wires. So they're super easy to work with.  And they're locked just long enough that you could trim these down to fit whatever you want to insert these into the coin cell battery that we're using. We're using the 20 millimeter or the 20 32 coin cell breakout, which is inside here. We have this nice little switch to actuate it. So again, get to the on and off button. This is a snap fit case. So it's not fits like this. Take this guy out like that. You can see on the inside how that is nicely in there. I should have gone to the other camera. You switch over real quick. Or it is macro person. Yeah, we go. Where am I? You're there. I made a full screen for you. Oh, it's upside down. Yeah. So yeah, nice simple little circuit. The blue is the ground and the red is the power. So it's just connected to the software, the switch. And here is the detail switch. It turns it on and off. The point cell battery lasts, I don't know, quite a while. I have not changed this out. And I've worn this multiple times like all day through the parks and like 90 degree weather and it's held up very well. In terms of the Yeah, the 3D printed headband, nice and smooth. So I forgot I was even wearing it a lot of the times. Things all nicely smoothed out, beveled out. And the print takes, oh man, about four hours is the only unfortunate part. So it's quite a big print. We have like filters or not filters. Oh, man, blanking on the fillets. We have fillets on all of the detail. So you have a little bit of not needing support for any of these. They're not too deep in there. You do get the detail. You definitely add some weathering effects. And that's really why I have all these recesses in there. So you can get like the dry brush effect and get some nice like shading details added to that. This was created in Fusion 360. So all of the way that this is all modeled is with a simple curve. So you can adjust the curve, just measure your head and you can edit the ellipse that I'm using for this. You can grow this bigger or smaller. And then the way that the sweep works, you can even have this be like shorter or longer. Same thing with the little, I don't know what this part that hangs down is you can also extrude that to match your head size. So you can have it line up perfectly with the right where your ear ends or starts, I guess, and then adjust that if you need to have it smaller. If you want to wear it with one of the Mandalorian helmets, it could definitely help in model.  And what else are we looking at here? Oh, the elastic band. You can just measure this to your head size. The width is, you know, their standard 1.5 inch wide elastic band. And these are used for craft wearables, crafting, like making headbands. And of course, wearables like clothes and stuff like that. So super comfortable on the back of your head. And we're using these, I forgot the name that they use for these like end pinch metal pinchers, I think. Yeah, that's about it. So the ends do not fray. Then what else? Details on the actual, the case that holds this. So proud of figuring out how to have these little notches in here so you can thread the entire elastic band through. So you don't have to do that dance where you have to, you know, order of operation and how you solder things. So that definitely helped out immensely. So not only can you thread the elastic band through there, but you can use that to hide your wires. These all just go through like that. And then mount with M 2.5 screws. Was the other thing. Oh, simple. I didn't do it with this one, but a nice way to actually hide your wires behind there is with a little bit of thread. So I just thread it on there, not too taught so that if the wires want to move around, let's do that. But all it's doing is just forcing it to go behind the headband. Have a little, a lot better way to hide this. One of the other things I should have done was sort of measured wire. So this actually went up over so you could like hide behind this over here. Oh yeah. I already cut the wires. Yeah, yeah. Okay, cool. Very nice.   Very cool. I like that the you made the custom battery box with a snap fit cover because like when you need to change the battery out, you don't have to like unscrew anything. You just pop the cover off to the snap fits. And like that's like a really good way to kind of embed electronics is to mount it to something, but always have something snap snap fit so that it can come off and you can still remove the battery, rewire it if you need to. And then that little bit of the actuator is really nice because then you have so much more accessibility to the slide switch, which is very tiny.  So it's nice to have a bigger actuator. You'll see this a lot with some of the the electronic kids toys. They always have a big beefy, smoothed out actuator that fits over the actual switch that's either on the PCB or somewhere else. So that's a really nice approach. I really like you went that extra mile with that. And the snap fits look really chunky. So they're not going to break after several removals. Yeah, it's like little n stops inside the snap. So does it slide out of the way. And then we have a couple more little details here, the this little extrusion right here. So the button itself isn't like wiggling back and forth. That was another thing where it would wiggle. Yeah, I haven't seen that. See that right here. Yeah, that's cool. So yeah, very good.  So it doesn't pop out either. So it'll, yeah, that's fit in, but then it won't come out. It was one of the main right. You have like some 45 degree extrusions. Yeah. Yeah, it's cool. I see us use if we'd like make these type of projects that need a coin cell breakout, like definitely this is the way to go. Like using this battery box, I think going forward is like pretty smart because you've already figured out all the tolerances. So definitely use it. And then the other thing is like simple things like, oh, let me add a little slit so that the wires can fit through because like, otherwise if that was closed off, you'd have to thread the wires and yeah, that could be another one. Exactly. And that's one of the things we're trying to avoid order of operations where you can be put in any other order. Sometimes you can't avoid that. Like you have to solder a thing or thread a thing and solder it. But in this case, quite happy that you could go a different route. So yeah. So definitely is easier to access the slide switch with this bigger chunky actuator than it is. And if it was off, so yeah, goes on like that. And quite happy with that the printer was able to get the tolerance right for that teeny tiny little slide switch. Yeah, for sure. And then I think that's pretty much it. It's a principle project. Lots of the wearables use the coin cell. So definitely wanted to tackle that challenge of enclosing everything. Make it all nice and secure inside this little guy. Yeah. So one of the main features about these LEDs is that they come pre-wired. And I think that's what Lamar wanted. She stocked these and she's like, you know, it'd be nice to have these very, very tiny LEDs come pre-wired because then folks that are new to electronics don't have to like struggle with soldering to these very tiny pads. So and the other thing is their color coded. So you know what's ground and what's power. And that helps a lot. And the wires themselves are, you know, like 30 gauge. So they're really small. The LEDs are 0805 LEDs, like the chip LEDs. And they come in different colors. You get a pack of five of them for five bucks. Yeah. But the whole thing about them is they come pre-wired so that folks that are new to electronics don't have to struggle with soldering these tiny little LEDs. And so whether folks are making miniatures or embedding them into cosplay, this is a really good option to get started with LEDs. So yeah, we hope folks check them out. I don't think I've seen SMT LEDs pre-wired before. So this is really nice to see. And we have a good assortment of colors. I saw Feddy too on Discord. I was asking like, what about conductive thread? Maybe conductive thread would be a good option. Maybe you can have those conductive threads like go through the band. That's a really good idea. If folks are really into like sewing, maybe they have a sewing machine, you can try that. I think that'd be a good option. But for folks that are just getting started, having the LEDs pre-wired like saves you so much time and, you know, worry about soldering to the pins on the coins will break out. So that's always a good thing. But yeah, conductive thread is always a more of a, I see it as more of an advanced thing for folks. Like if you don't have the sewing skills or the soldering skills, it's going to kind of be hard to get into it both. But you were able to just do a couple stitches with a needle and thread just to keep those pliers, you know, from getting dangled with your hair, for example. That's more for like fabric is what I would use that in. Yeah. This is, you know, just PLA. So it's nice and rigid. Cool. All right. Oh, we're going to go over, I guess, the learn guide, just go through it real quick. Yeah. Oh, yeah, you can go through it. All right, cool. Super simple.  Some of the tools you're going to need it was pinch crimp ends. That's what it is. That's a search term that you can use to find, I think they come in like a pack of like 50 or something. But we've used these so many times for like all the masks and like a bunch of like the the props.  And then some of your standard stuff, soldering iron, scissors, screwdriver, and of course, hot glue gun. We're using the the battery hard ones. I think you have a Ryobi one have a black and ducker one. And you definitely need a it definitely gets nice and hot so that you're able to have a little bit more time to for the hot glue to be malleable to get it into all those recesses.  You have the CAD if you want to upload that. You put in a once you can view it on the browser and then we have them on Thingiverse. You just want to get the STLs for that. No supports required for this. You'll just need a brim to hold the the main headband together. I have those all oriented so you just bring them in as is to print all in one go. It takes about like six hours. So a little bit of a while to print all that out. And then I have a question. The filament that you use is like already shiny and glittery. And it's PLA. So if you don't want to do any post processing, that's always a good way to go is like just get a color that's sparkly and shiny. What's the filament? Do you know? Yeah, it's everyone. And it's just on Amazon. Okay. And these come in. I don't know if you notice there is a darker color. So this is like the black and the gray one. So I think it's this color that they use on the show. Yeah, that's cool. Like to kind of get it, you know, without having to sand and paint and stuff, which you can totally do. But it's nice to have the filament already be that color and that that shine.  So definitely good way to do that. That's everything. And then you posted the source file for the breakout. Yes, you want to get the mounting holes and add that to any project that you want to power with this tiny little guy. Yeah, for sure. It's what I used to get the mounting holes and to line up the switch. So we can get that aligned to the actuator. Yay. So purple in terms of the circuit diagram. Reload that, get that photo in there. And they're already wired. So it's one of the colors. Blue is brown. Red goes on to the switch. Or if you want them to be constantly on, you can just put it on the pen. All right. Yeah, that's a nice option. But these last, I can't tell you like the amount of how long they last because they have not died on me yet. So quite a while. Several hours. Yeah. I posted the, I don't think you need a resistor, but they're pretty bright. And if you're going to be using them like outside, it's bright enough to see outside. So cool. Don't think resistors for these. I'm sorry, like four of them. Yeah. And I don't know if I mentioned this last week too. I was testing like all the different colors to see if any of them dimmed out and you have four of them attached and I didn't see any dimming. They all look the same amount of brightness on every color.  So I didn't notice any of that happening between the different colors. All right. So they have the product pages. They have a forward voltage of 3.2 volts. Yeah. So there you go. Yep. All right. So sort of like a wearables project to have some threading going on. So the recesses have a little near the end of the headband. So you can thread the wires through there is big enough of that. Let's see. So once you thread that too, yep, you're going to, with the hot glue gun, just lay that down. You want to hold onto the LED tube, like give it a little bit of pressure or pull it on it just a little bit so that it glues in place facing towards the channel. If you noticed that in there, you don't want it pointing like up, like away, because then I don't think it would illuminate or diffuse the entire hot glue that's in the recess. So just make sure that you can orient your LED. If I click on this to make it big, you can see that I also added a little bit of a bend on here so that it is facing forward. So you do want to make sure that you're very careful on that and then bend it so that the LED shoots the light towards, you know, the channel. It'll illuminate the entire thing. And this is what it should look like once you've got all the hot glue on there. Don't worry about making a big mess because hot glue on three printed stuff comes out pretty good. Like, yeah, it's just alcohol to remove it. Not even. You can just use it. It peels right off. So definitely be careful with the hobby knife when you're trimming this up. I did try to use the flush cutters, but it, maybe mine aren't as sharp. It ripped it right off. Oh, funny. Yeah. So that's cool that you do have that ability to undo things and not have it be completely messed up, you know, to mess up one of your LEDs or if your positioning wasn't, like they cool down your position, the position of your LED isn't how you want it. You can wait for the hot glue to cool off and you can just rip it right off and try again. So the main thing that you want to do is make sure that all of your corners have the hot glue seeping into it. Sort of look a little bit cleaner. You can see down here, missed a little bit down here, you have a little bit of a hole. But don't worry, once you have the lights in there, you won't be able to notice it. And this is, yeah, looks good from far. Yeah. Yeah. See, following of that, once all your diffusion is nicely tested, you got, you're happy with that assembly in the elastic band. It's pretty easy. Just cut it down to your size.   Just the mistake I did with this one, just a little bit too big. After that, the little pinch ends, you can get them at an angle so that it will fit through once you put them through. So if you have them in like that, they will go through to either put on or take off. So just angle it so it goes in vertically through the slit. And then you can attach your assembled circuit. Did I show that? No, you solder all your wires after the elastic band, and then you could thread, you were shown before, the little brackets through the headband, the elastic headband. And then assembly of the switch, just line it up. It pushes right through. And you should not too much with that. You want to align, you want to make sure that the switch, the actuator switch and the actual switch on the breakout board are both, you know, aligned so when you attach the lid, it goes right on there.  And you'll have to try again. Okay. The other thing to watch out for is just make sure that your wires are not being pinched in any way. So you want to sort of make like this, this curved shape so that you fit it through the slit, and then do the snapping of both sides of the lid. After that, you just want to thread the wires through that little slit on the brackets, just so you can hide them. Again, extra step, you can do the little thread in here. What I did was create a little X on these. You can kind of see here with some thread in the needle. Yeah, that doesn't just keep it behind there. Not totally needed, but it's pretty much it. Nice simple little wearable with LEDs in it. Yeah, sure. Costume. Yay. Yep. Again, for me, the biggest nugget on here was having the case for the coin cell, because I'm sure it will come up again. Yeah, it's one of those things that you can reuse for other projects. So very nice. Cool. We got some more comments. Fetty2 had another, just a kind of a cool comment. Looks like they're working on a refresh of the sound reactive drum set so that folks with the Gemma, or the one that was made with their Gemma and a mic, they're doing it with a circuit playground because the Gemma's kind of a little bit outdated these days. So doing with a circuit playground is really, really fun. It's a proof of concept to show folks from a marching band, and probably going to put some lights on the band with the ESP32S3 QT Pi and the new ESP Now Code. Fetty2 is also saying that they do a sewing class in high school here in Costa Rica. So the skills are pretty common. That is great. That is really cool. Yeah, so definitely give it a shot with the the sewing conductive fabric. Though I do wonder how you would, because how would you attach the conductive thread to the surface mount pads? Because normally you have like a circuit with sewable like pins. Yeah, so you would strip the plastic. Oh, the enamel error? Oh, right. Yeah. You can weave it into the fabric and then into that. Okay, yeah, I didn't think of that. Sort of tie around. I think Becky made a video on that how to connect to the thread connecting to an actual wire, but that's one of the ways to do that. If this was going, I would do it that way. Right. And there's several stainless types of conductive thread. I'm not an expert on it, but maybe do a little research and see which one's the best one to use. You know, and then we have sewable LEDs, don't we? The lily pad stuff and then the sequins. Those are sewable. Yeah, these boys. How do we use the thread zone? I know we used it before. We have a couple of the spools. What's the thread? See the past projects that was used in. Let's see. Yeah, there's like two ply, three ply, stainless steel yarn. There's like snaps. Yeah, there's snaps that are kind of cool for a sparkle dress. Yeah. All the Pac-Man suspenders. Oh, all the different thread projects. Yeah, some of the thumbnails are loading. Right. We're eating up all the bandwidth streaming. All right. Well, that's really cool. Yeah, it's always a good kind of different approaches to it. So here you go. Oh, that's what I used it on. Oh, yeah. This is like 2014. Yeah, so like on fabric, that's when I would use it. But yeah, all these LEDs that you see on brandy there, that's how they're all connected. Then we have one of the new pixel readings right on the belly. Right. Yeah, that's super advanced, I think. Cool. I need to redo a lot of these projects. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, the Trinket and stuff, the Gemma. Yeah, the Trinket and the Gemmas are all like these older SAM, not even SAM, M0s or Atmel, 320, whatever. I forget the model number. Yeah, they're all kind of hard to get these days. These days we need a chip that can run circuit Python. Yeah, cool. Yeah, cool. Yep, one of Becky's methods is to use Sobo Snaps, PID 1126, there you go. Yes. Yeah, and then the Sobo NeoPixel, of course. Yes. Yeah, very cool. All right. Yeah, I like doing the simple on-off LEDs every other month because it kind of introduces new people that are just getting started. Yeah, originally we were thinking with the little dot NeoPixels and with like a teensy in the back, but Lamar mentioned that they don't even animate, so let's just go with Sobo. Yeah, in the show they really don't animate. Folks can go all out and do all the fun advanced stuff. Yeah. Cool. All right, that is this week's project. If you want to pick up everything, anything in the shop, we have coupon code BOGATAN, give you 10% off any of the things, physical things in the Adafruit shop. So we got that. Next up, I guess we'll go into what are you prototyping? Yeah. We have a canary light canary in the whole mind. Really, I was going to talk. So next week we're going to finally release the learn guide and video for the Epcot ball. I'll reserve talking about it for next week because it's basically just a bunch of LEDs, a QDPI ESP, no QDPI ESP32 Pico and the WLED firmware. I'll talk about that. Yeah, that'll be next week's project. This is what I've been prototyping. This is going to be a collab project with Katni Rambor, who's on the Circuit Python team. She wanted to do this project where it's an IoT nightlight and she was inspired by a song by They Might Be Giants that talks about a canary nightlight. So this is my canary 3D model. It's been 3D printed. It's a pretty hollow and thin so that it illuminates really nice. And then for the circuit, we're using the QDPI ESP32 S2 and the 5x5 new pixel BFF that stands for best friends.  So this snaps into that. Let me take that off for a second. And then these just snap fit in there. That way it illuminates. And then I'm going to use one of these little 5 volt USB adapters so that I can connect this and then this will connect into the bird like that. That way you can just plug that in to your outlet. So you have a very easy IoT project. I think Katni's doing the code in Circuit Python. So here it is lighting up. I just have the LED animation library just kind of pulsing through different colors. So this is just white PLA. And I think I have the brightness set to 100%. Most of it lights up pretty good. I do have a little bit of like holes and stuff in the bird, but that's because like no support material. But I think it's good enough, right? Like the rest of the bird looks really good. There's angles here that kind of are fine for a 3D printer. You could add support material, but I don't like to use support material. Yeah, sure. And yeah, that's it. So there's 25 pixels here because it's a 5x5 grid. It'll just plug into the wall with this adapter. And that's pretty much it. So we'll have this in two weeks. I think it'll use Adafruit IO to request time. So we'll see about that. Yeah, I'm going to meet with Katni later to discuss the code part of it. But that's one of the future requests too that Lamar had was when the internet goes down. She wants the blinking or something, some way to notify. Is the internet down? Going crazy? Just look at the bird. So it's a canary in the coal mine type thing. Yeah. But for me personally, this was a lot of... What do you call it? It took me... I modeled this in Fusion 360 using the sculpting environment. And I rarely use the sculpting environment. So I learned a lot. I spent a lot of time learning how to do typology correctly so that I can create a solid model out of this. A lot of curvatures. I don't think you can create this sort of thing with sketches and lofting, let's say, revolve. It's very organic. Yeah, the wings and everything. So it was really nice for me to go in there. I went with the polygon style of modeling, but in Fusion with T-splines. I literally started with one plane and just extruded and went all around. They used cemetery so that I would just make one half of the bird and the other half was made and then you fill it in after you're done. But yeah, it was really nice to get experience on doing these organic shapes. So it's all about typology, how good it is. And then you can switch between a smooth and the box model view so that you can really fine-tune your vertices and your subdivisions. So that was cool because I don't really have much experience with polygon modeling. But again, it's not polygons, it's surfaces and T-splines inside of Fusion. I did try, in the surface or in the sculpting environment, you start with a blob and then you mesh the blob. I didn't do that because it's so difficult to get typology out of a pre-made primitive blob. I found it to be very difficult to work with the blob, so I went straight with just the plane and just extruded the plane a hundred times. That's my five-minute explainer on modeling a bird in Fusion. It could totally be done. Yeah, looks good. Thank you. I might get it sent to like, what is it called, PCBWay to get it like a resin print because that would look amazing in resin. But yeah, this is regular PLA. There's a couple of wobbly bits here, but not too bad. There's some holes. You know, it's a bird, it's seen some things. Is asking about gravity sketch, like doing the VR sculpting? Oh, I haven't tried that yet. I don't have a VR headset. I haven't gotten into that, but I've heard some folks use the VR headsets and gravity sketch to create stuff. I was listening to a podcast, an interview, I think on Haxter IO with a fellow who uses that, and that sounded really cool. Yeah, maybe I'll wait for Apple to make a VR headset. One I want to try out for Gavin is one called Nomad, and it's all on the iPad, and it has all these sculpting tools. Oh, yeah. It's just on the iPad. A lot of the like those detailed, crazy looking models, that's where a lot of them are made anyway. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, at some point I got to get into like just straight up like a Z brush approach to modeling where you're literally just sculpting with these sculpting tools. Yeah, that way you don't really have to worry about topology that much or more about like the form of just like a like a traditional sculpting person. Yeah. Yeah, I haven't done that. Challenge for sculpting ease and fusion, getting all the tools right, and if you're the way you want things to behave, don't usually go work out as planned. Like I tried so hard to make this with the inside the sculpting tool and at the end I was like, oh no, I can't do the emboss in there. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah.  That's one of the things I like. Yep. Yeah, DJ Devon asking, doesn't all the t-spline eventually come down to triangles? Yeah, right at the end. When you export it, yeah. Yeah, there are some approaches to use sketches and extrude that in the sculpting environment and then you could update it later and it would kind of update, but yeah, it depends on what you're making. I always try to get away with sketches and solid modeling as much as I can, but for the bird, I just had to go with this. When it came down to it, this piece here is done with a sketch. This is just a spline curve. And yeah, and then I was able to shell it and then all of this is done with the sketches, like the whole ear is all the sketch, so it's parametric. So you really got to think like, what can I do that needs to be parametric, do that with sketches and everything else you can kind of sculpt around. And then people want to see this in the resin print. Yeah, I definitely do the... Yeah, I should send it off. I have a couple weeks. Sorry, the bird's hungry. Cool. All right, good stuff. I guess for shop talk, I have one other thing and then we'll get into the community makes. I haven't had to do this yet, but like I made a little snap fit case with a live hinge and a live hinge is just this thin piece of plastic that allows you to bend and then with the circular ends of the case, the cover has this like little... I can't zoom into it. Let me do... Let me change my camera angle to ultra wide and then I can go really deep in there. Yeah, so you can see it's got that snap fit geometry that's at a 45 degree angle. Let me full screen that. That way it can print without any supports. It's only a little bit of it. It sweeps along an offset sketch of the end there and then I have some reliefs here for the lip and then on this end, I have a little bit of a nub that sweeps on the inside of the case. So that way when I close it, you got your live hinge. The live hinge is able to bend in all degrees and then you have your lip that fits in there and then that clicks in there and then I added these cutaways here so that like you can get your fingernail to open it again and the idea here is just to have some pennies because like let's say you want to go to a museum and you like penny presses. Yeah, I love penny presses and then this is 0.4 millimeters thick so that's two layers if you have a 0.2 layer height so that's that that I find is pretty good for a live hinge it's strong enough but thin enough to be able to bend and then you could double this as a as a little key ring holder so if you want to put this on your key chain you can use the live hinge to do that and then yeah I haven't had to do this yet so I thought it was a neat shop talk to just talk about a little snap fit change holder and then you can make the thickness as thick as you want or as thin as you want and it has a pretty decent seal and then you can you know put whatever details you want on the sides or something but I thought that was neat I haven't really done a case with a live hinge I don't think. Trying to remember where you've seen right like if we run a live hinge and it comes up is the how what are they yeah the nose thing for the pool like the nose plug or the ear plugs I think right those cases for those like yeah if you wanted to have a case for your nose plugs ear plugs this would be a good option for that and yeah I think 0.4 millimeter thick is going to be plenty strong for several hundred opens and closes but yeah so that's my thing I'll release it if folks want right now I just finished it so you got a request DJ Devan wants a layer by layer okay yeah that sounds good I need to get back into those so this can be a sweet yeah yeah that's a good yeah it's just find it easier to sweep along your curve because then you already have your curve and so that's all good let's see other comments going through here oh yeah it's a good point Yanni saying that you just print the headband ninja flex oh yeah dang it that would have been a good because then I could have had stuff already modeled in there for the case you know yeah I could see it being a little maybe with cheetah ninja flex yeah but those very thin walls where you have those inserts for the leds I could find those to be challenging right so maybe oh no I thought he meant the the elastic part oh no yeah the entire band yeah yeah Mike got away at it so well I think the elastic band is like no print time like something like that's gonna take four hours of print so it depends what you want to do I guess if you want to details and embedded channels maybe go with ninja flex and here's everything I was scared to use in just Lex look how thin that is like that's crazy look at the under extrusion oh it's under extruded yeah that tends to happen a lot within periods um I narrowed it down though it's my nozzle because I printed that same thing nothing changed on the other cruelty v2 pro we have two of those so right on one of them and then the other one was printed on the other v2 and this part came out excellent so it was definitely a nozzle to plong but you could run into that problem where oh yeah heavily under excuse all you can definitely see it there yeah it's like the filament I thought it was my settings I tried like so many times to get it to go right and all I had to do was just change out the nozzle do like a cold pull on it you could also just stick in that area a little bit more and then like chamfer the edges so it depends on what what does this design need push this yeah I guess I could push that over but then it printed fine on the other printer so I was like right yeah well again it was a clog a nozzle right yeah yeah I think I've heard that some of the glitter PLA tends to be abrasive and they're like wear out your nozzle or cause issues down the line so just just be aware of that sometimes a good nozzle a new nozzle is will go many a long way cool and then yeah Devin's saying that sometimes you up instead of trying to get something to buy something hours to print it yeah 50 hours yeah that's a lot that's like the Epcot ball you start printing it now it took a while it takes a long time it's like two days to print one half it's like I could really use a bamboo printer print at the 100 millimeters a second yeah all right cool we're ready for time time on Tuesday community makes yeah yeah this week community makes is I guess your community now know that yeah that's me yeah well I thought it'd be good to time lapse it because it's a fun storage it's got a mechanism and it's printed place and it's kind of this useful thing that can hold you know storage cards flash storage guards uh that's a great and fit all the star wars stuff I should have brought it with me to put the trash cans yeah that'd be fun because they they all look like this they did details yeah yeah nice little hinge to fit the sd cards on it we showed it off last week but what we got in here is the sd cards the little guys and then of course the bigger compact flash that we use on the uh black magic cameras let you fit those and then you have a added an additional storage little area and the spot down in there right whatever yeah switch stuff so if it's in there or mario make sure yeah um uh so I've seen other versions of this and like my story is that like I printed it out and I was excited but then like it just fused when I printed it oh man I really wanted to work and then I looked at the comments and other people had remixes and that inspired me to just give it a go give it a try tried out infusion so I made a parametric and I went from using like these double hinges to just using one linkage instead of two linkages because that's what I was referencing you really don't need two linkages um and it was a challenge to be honest this was a challenge the print it even is still challenging to print because it takes a while to print it takes a while to print because just there's just a lot of movement from the it's from the printer and it's got a lot to do a lot of retractions on it um yeah here's here's mine um so you use the glitter um PLA that turned out okay yeah mine is the silver stuff it was stringy there's still some string on it um but yeah I I kept thickening the the linkage here so I I think in that up quite a bit and even still like I think I noticed yours was underextruded on one linkage yeah because it's a time lapse it's definitely the the time lapse yeah and you can do in the time lapse the video the first attempt it it struck it and yeah you definitely want z-hop I noticed that z-hop alleviated some of my issues too it is a challenging print I'll say it again because like it's just hard to print when you built in linkages that start literally printing in the air because if you look at the cross-section view this hinge right here starts printing in the layer or in mid-air um so one of the things I ended up doing was um creating cut cutaways on the cylinder part of the hinge so that it's a 45 degree angle so it starts with literally one layer and then two layers and then so on and so forth as it's going there but these reliefs here are there just so that um you know it can print in this orientation so that's why there's these slits here and then you have that weird additive where like it it can like do this number which is kind of weird but yeah that's that was a lot of take a look at the Fusion 360 file or the step file if you're using some other CAD and and take a good look at the sketches and the geometry as a whole to see how it works it is challenging to figure out I used Fusion's joints to simulate the joint hinge so that I can see that it's gonna close right and all that and that was hard as well because like sometimes the joints don't work like the way you think they will so it's all trial and error but yeah yeah let's see um oh it took eight hours here quite a surprising way than you think yep the first one did get knocked off that's right didn't know the time that's made things that's why I kept it in there just the way it's because you're using a DSLR camera it has to park its head in order to trigger the camera so maybe that introduces some stuff but DJ Devin did make it and posted a make so here is we're switching over to community makes oh it looks good DJ Devin did print it out and this black filament looks like it worked pretty good it's got some string as well we got some string too it's just all about fine-tuning the temperature I think but sometimes it just happens just clean it up yeah um yeah it's funny because sometimes you'll have it on like a hotter temperature because you're using a different filament and then you forget to switch it yep I had that same issue and then actually another make on this one this week is from Papa Joe they printed it out this is not in French I did translate it but it basically said like they used pet G yeah they used pet G and eventually they got it to work yeah and there's a little bit of stringing there um I find pet G is stringy too like it's very stringy much more stringier than PLA you have to print it hotter like at 240 I think yeah but it looks good yes I'm glad it worked out but yeah I imagine this is going to happen a lot and it's it's it's one of those torture test prints for your printer totally I think this was printed on the uh looks like a proof yeah the prusa i3 yeah it's torture test that you can use later yeah if you have SD cards yep yep yep yep and uh let's see what else is uh this week we have a make from pexel edi they made their they did a remix was this the remix yeah it's a remix of our feather wing e-ink stand this is using a different e-ink display it's a uh m-h-e-t live I think and they just remixed it so that it fits that PCB with some screws looks really nice in that good filament that glitter filament all the rage it's the glitter filament and then this is our first make uh or maybe it's the second make of the disney magic band reader this is for like super ultra disney fans that have magic bands and they want to be able to use their magic band at home when they're not at disney this one uses the scout kit or is it no no sorry the RFID whiz kit from smooth technologies it's an easy way to make projects that work with RFID devices so it's got a new pixel I think a feather right new pixels yeah eight different other up to 2040 the i2s amplifier a mini oval speaker this was like their first project so they're saying that it was a little bit of frustrating because they had to figure out how to solder things but it was a good one it took 20 hours to print everything but yeah it's a bit of a build but it's a good one if you really super fan disney you can customize the circuit python code to you know to make it have different sound effects different audio thingies yeah and you print it on as under three but this really nice yeah the whiz kit uh kit has the um what is it so you can like turn on and off lights so I've seen people attach this yeah like that or their Christmas tree yeah so you know things that are 120 or 220 volt things that are powered by your mains can be uh could be turned on and off with this whiz kit so yeah this was a lot of fun working on it and it's nice to see a fellow disney fanatic go go down the rabbit hole of making their own magic band reader looks like he uh took a picture on that a 50th anniversary uh beach towel oh that's funny you know you know exactly it's a 50th because you can see the five and the zero here yeah that's funny yeah it's a pretty pricey build too because it's like 50 bucks he had a whole breakdown here like the total cost was like 144 plus shipping so there's a lot of stuff in there because you got that really nice amplifier you got the rfid whiz kit you got the neopixel strip you got all those connectors yeah it all adds up but if you are a super fan you can uh you can make one very cool and the last one for this week is uh another insert rig yeah from stanley stayed stately david they made the uh they made their own thing sorry i'm i'm running out of energy here i'm i like seeing people remix this build to use like more traditional parts like the zz 08 608 ball bearings i probably should have did that but it's glad that the i'm glad the community took it on to the round to like remix the parts you know to fit their setup and if they got a ball bearing like this maybe check out using that and they have their own piece of wood and everything but yeah if you're really doing a bunch of um heat set inserts you definitely want to have your own rig and uh yeah so let's see uh my inserts have smaller diameters so reduce the whole yeah i see that a lot too like every every manufacturer of these heat set inserts have different diameters so you want to upgrade your own cad you're getting double checked that they're the same size um they were able to edit it in fusion 360 they're using the abic seven skate bearings that they had on hand and uh some other things about diameters really but yeah it turned out pretty good yay i'm glad people are continuing to make modifications to this open source design very cool yeah i think one of the blog posts this week or next week or one of the weeks is going to be a yeah yeah they made like a tester for testing all the heat sets like for practicing essentially yeah yeah yeah i remember i made my own practice thing too oh yeah and then i was like i got some from McMaster but the ones that we stock of eater food are different um yeah i think there's a video out there from cnc kitchen i was like testing all the different types of heat sets which one's the best one he did like a scientific test of like how much force does it take to pull it out and all this stuff so that's really cool check that one out i think it's cnc kitchen all righty i think we're done yeah right on time that's the big show yep yep next week is a big celebratory 400th episode we'll be featuring the epcot spaceship earth replica uh over 100 leds wled cutie pie all the fun things um then then the bird and then something else see tears of the king well look comes out friday so this friday that's what i'll be working on figuring out what we're gonna be playing the game if you guys have suggestions on what next zelda prop you want to see yeah let's not demar away any ideas yeah before we go coupon code is a is a bokeh tan so if you want to use it we also have another coupon code um tonight on asking engineer so uh lemar and phil will be hosting show and tell i believe tonight excuse me so we'll hope to see you folks there thank you everybody so much for watching and hanging out with us we'll see you next week but until then from two kick me a great day bye everybody


How teaching slang can benefit your ESL students? Stepping onto my flight from Miami to Santiago, Chile, I was confident in my Spanish skills. After all, I had taken nearly seven years of Spanish classes in middle and high school. However, when I landed I found, not only did I not understand 80% of what my host family said to me, they couldn't understand me either. Over the course of my two months there, I came to appreciate the significance of slang in understanding and mastering a language. Even though slang words and usage can vary tremendously throughout the English speaking world, this is not an excuse to avoid introducing slang in the classroom. Being able to identify and understand some common slang words and phrases will help English learners reading informal documents. Being able to produce slang words though more difficult, can make a non-native speaker sound more fluent. Learning about the informal side of the English language can be a fun and motivating tool to encourage students in their own exploration. Finally, introducing slang terms is a simple way to begin a conversation with students about the diversity of English speaking cultures. Learning slang words is immensely helpful. For an English learner, reading a dialogue in a novel or listening to native speakers' conversation can be a disorienting and frustrating task, especially if they have never been introduced to some of the slang and shortcuts native speakers take with their mother tongue. Phrases like hang out or chill out may be lost on a non-native speaker. Even if a learner only expects to use English in a formal setting at work. For example, learning some of these most common phrases and slang words will be immensely helpful. Being able to produce these words and phrases can elevate a learner's fluency, making them much more understandable to a native listener. I was more motivated to retain these pieces of vocabulary and try them out in an attempt to sound more natural. Once I became accustomed to the rhythms of Chile and Spanish, my favorite way to learn from my Spanish-speaking friends was to ask them for their favorite slang phrases or ask them to translate a new, unfamiliar word I encountered on the street. Generally, they were not only happy to help me, but they were also excited to explain a part of their culture to me. I was more motivated to retain these pieces of vocabulary and try them out in an attempt to sound more natural. For students of English I imagine this would be much the same. Learning slang words can be like discovering a precious stone. They are often funny and can serve as a motivating addition to any dry, boring grammar lesson. Learning slang can also open up the conversation for cultural exchange. The origins of slang words can lend a cultural context for English learners. Students will have a better understanding of the values and quirks of a certain group of native English speakers. For example, students who learn the phrase sosme that. Used in place of pasme that, will understand that in the regions where this is used, mostly Canada and northeastern United States, hockey is a prominent sport that has come to influence the language. When teaching slang words it is important to keep in mind what is appropriate for the specific setting in age group. A teacher working with an adult student one-on-one may be at further liberty to discuss certain terms, while a teacher in a business school should probably avoid any language that is offensive. Similarly with younger students, a teacher must be sure not to introduce them to any swear words or insults. There are many activities that could be used to teach slang words. Deciding which slang words to teach can also be a challenge. Variations of English are so distinct and diverse it would be impossible to teach students the ins and outs of each. A teacher must decide if they will focus on a certain geographical area from which to draw their slang, or perhaps provide a sampling from different regions. I think when faced with this dilemma a teacher should let the students interest guide them. If many students are interested in Australian culture and express a desire to travel there, the teacher should make an effort to include Australian slang in the lesson. There are many activities that could be used to teach slang words. One fun and engaging option is to watch a popular TV show or clip from a movie and have students pick out unfamiliar words. Or the teacher could pre-teach slang from the video before watching. For beginners this may be too advanced. Instead slang phrases can be offered alongside the more formal version. For example, when teaching students how to introduce themselves a teacher can offer the greeting what's up along with how are you today? Are you ready to teach English slang? Teaching English slang can be a daunting task. A teacher must make many decisions around which words to teach, what is appropriate, and how to teach slang. However, it should not be avoided because of this. Learning slang words can help English learners immensely by increasing their understanding, making them sound more fluent and engaging them in both the classroom and English speaking world.


Yeah this is stepping out of my comfort zone for a party look. I'm going to share with you how I got this look, what these lips are all about in this bright bold color in this video today. So let's get going. Hi my friends! I am so glad that you are here with me again today. Thanks for joining me. We are going to be recreating this very glam party look. I am so excited because not only am I going to be doing a tutorial for you about this look but also a good friend of mine, Lisa Monique from Lisa Monique Beauty is joining me to collab with me on this video today. I reached out to her because we have become pretty good friends doing this whole YouTube gig and Lisa is one of the most down-to-earth friendly, outgoing, just easy to talk to people that I have run across here and she is stunning. She has a natural beauty. When she does her Instagram, by the way if you're not following her or me on Instagram, take a peek over at our Instagram so which I'll make sure I leave below. But on Instagram she does Instagram stories and she usually does them without any makeup on and I am just enamored with how beautiful her skin is. So her skincare is working really, really well. She is a professional photographer. She knows a lot about photography and the different things that you need to do in order to look really good in pictures which she has videos of. She just had a video go viral of the mistakes that older women make with their makeup. If you haven't seen that, it's a fantastic video that I'm so excited for her about and I couldn't be happier for her success with that. Her channel has just blown up and she has some great content. So make sure that you go over and check her out. There are a whole lot of love you guys. She is a great person and I think you're going to thoroughly enjoy her channel. I will make sure everything is listed and linked below. Make sure that you tell her that I sent you over. Now if you're coming over here from Lisa's channel, I want to say thank you so much for checking out my video and my channel and I hope that you do enjoy today's tutorial and that you will take a peek at some of my other content. I do a ton of different videos across the board. I do a lot of makeup tutorials, a lot of makeup reviews. I do skin care. It's mostly based on makeup for the mature over 50 women though and how makeup performs on older skin and how we can get the very best out of our makeup. I do hope that you do decide to subscribe and all my regular subscribers. I love you guys very much and I appreciate everything that you do to support me. I can link the shirt, the necklace, and the earrings today. Yay! Usually I can't link something that I have on but everything that I have on I can link today for you guys. I am going to start this tutorial out with my base makeup and my eyebrows already done but what I will do is I will make sure that I link a video for you on how I do my base makeup and it's really kind of repetitive after so many times of doing it and you're not really doing anything different. So I just thought I would do that and then we're going to work with the color and the warming up of the face today. So I hope that you do enjoy this. Let's get into the tutorial so you can see how I achieved this look with everything drugstore. By the way everything is very affordable. Everything came from the drugstore that I'm wearing today. Let's get into it. With this look today the tape is going to be really important for me. Now if you can do a wing liner on your own then go ahead and just skip the tape. It's not a big deal. I'm using the That's Tope palette from Colourpop. I love this. It's very neutral. I don't consider this very cool. I just consider it extremely neutral and that's what I want for my eyes today. I want my lips to be the focus of this tutorial or this look, this party look today. So we're going to go into this lightest color right here. I'm using a refer oh one brush. This is just going to be my transition color and it's going to be kind of a medium tone for me. So if you're deeper than me make sure that you just pick a medium neutral tone if you're wanting to copy this look even though I'm going to be using a very very bold lip it's not going to compete and that's kind of what you want when you want your lips to be more of the focal point of your look.  You know our eyes are the first thing usually people look at when they're looking at us and meeting us.  You just want them to be a little bit more subdued than normal.  I'm just going to take a brush and I'm just going to dip it down into that color but what using the brush does is it's going to subdu it and soften it a little bit and you can continue to build this up as much as you want to or you can keep it very soft it just depends on what you like the best. I'm going to go about two thirds of the way out with that eyeshadow and bring it up into the crease just before the crease I should say. Okay now I'm going into the deeper color a deeper neutral color this is kind of a grayish taupe here with a shader brush from BK Beauty and I'm just going to put this into the crease and shade the crease and a little bit on the outer edge. Again I am not wanting to make this super stark but with these kind of looks you do need to create shadow and depth or light and shadow to make it look good. All right back over to the original brush and I'm just going to put these two colors together really buff them in well. Now comes the fun part for me I am using a morphe brush I think it says E36 and I'm going to go into the deepest color that is in the palette that's a dark brown this is a very very small very small shader brush almost like a pencil brush without a you know a peek on it or a tip on it it's got more of a rounded tip so this is going to create the wing that I want I've been enjoying having being able to do a wing I just think it's so much fun so I'm going to go right here about midway through my eyelid starting at the eyelid and trailing it through to the tape. Filled it up just a tiny bit we're creating that wing this eye for me always does the wing look better I don't know why but it sure does and this eye always gives me troubles so just trying to go in here and create it the best I can so it's going to be a softer looking wing it's not going to be one that is super stark or dramatic in any way now I'm going back with that shader brush with the medium color that I put down into the crease and I'm just trying to bring those two together so it doesn't look like I have you know two different colors it'll just look like one gradient color when I take the tape off now you're going to see the little wings which are great I want to extend this little wing just a little bit and soften the edge of all of this right so it did pull off some of the concealer so let's take what I used which was the true skin concealer from Catrice and I don't know what color this is but I'll make sure that I put it up on the screen for you all right so I'm just going to put back a little bit of what I lost there and if you want to this can line out the wing even a little bit more if you want it to to pull everything together I want to take the brightest color or the lightest color I shouldn't say bright the lightest color that Catrice has in their concealer I've been doing this for a while now and it just brings so much light to the area and I'm going to touch that into this corner in here and I'm going to bring a lot of light right straight down through this area not out here I don't want it to mess with the concealer out that way I just want it to bring a bunch of light into the cavernous area right there where I get so dark I put it down with the brush first now I'm just working it with my finger right now I'm going to take the refer two three brush 23 brush this is the tiniest pencil brush that they have and I'm going to take that medium or the deeper of the taupe color right here I'm going to just put that on my bottom lash line right now to bring the whole look together and then smudging it out the more you smudge this the softer your eye looks going to look and then I just spend a little bit of time with the brush actually diffusing that little area right there back and forth to make that wing part look cohesive right through there let's move on to contour bronzer and I'm using the essence contouring duo palette and this one is in the light I think it's the light color there's one that is called for light skin tones and one for deeper skin tones pretty sure this is the light one so I'm just using a fan brush which I can link for you guys as well I'm going to go up into the hairline as always and bring that down one of the things that I feel like is so important for party makeup is that you don't look like a ghost you want to look your your face to look warmed up you want it to look like it's glowing but when you use your foundation you might want to go with a more stay proof foundation one that is kind of a little bit more matte or has a long lasting wear to it because you can always bring that glow with highlighter and with setting spray or other products but sometimes you if you get too glowy of a foundation by the end of the evening you're going to look like a grease ball so you might want to go with a more matte foundation which is what I've done today a beautiful natural glow I'm going with the wet and wild to reflect shimmer palette and I'll have a Cosmo I have put this in so many videos I think you guys are probably completely sick of it but when I want just an absolute beautiful glowing look I'm going to reach for that at least this soft lip from within look without having any shine to it it's just really pretty and it brings so much light doesn't emphasize texture on me I really like it and then I chose the elf primer infused blush this is a very natural looking blush I chose this one because I didn't want it to compete with the eyes or the the lips that I'm doing this is always rosy and I'm going to kind of go a little bit lighter handed than normal with the blush just pulling everything together I'm going to take a little bit of that blush and put it right here up underneath the eyes just a little bit now that I've got all the face products on we want to set that I broke out my beautiful number seven lift and luminate powder I'm using my sponge and I'm just going to go in and I'm going to just diffuse any pores at all I want this look to be so flawless looking and then I'm going to take the hydrating seal the deal from flower beauty their setting spray kind of work with that on this sponge as well and I'm just going to press everything in together so that all of this makeup looks seamless together this is where this whole thing's going to get interesting because I thought it would be so fun for a party for party makeup to do lashes I can't do lashes I've never been able to do lashes with my shaking hands but I got these magnetic ones because I've been seeing all over the place that magnetic lashes are so easy to do so you get a liner with it okay I've never used this before so we shall see how this goes it's probably going to leave a little bit thicker of a line than I'm used to I'll it's drying I'm going to use this new mascara that I got this is from Maybelline it's called curl and bounce it has a curved wand to it I have used this a couple times I do like it it's um quite pretty as far as building up on the eye what you need I'm just putting a small coat of this on my own lashes I'm going to do the other eye the same as I just did that one so this one is going to go on this eye apparently what this is is it has like four or five magnets on it I am really nervous about this we shall see how this goes for me if this works this will be amazing okay so I'm sitting here working with these trying to figure out if I'm doing something wrong or what and I know that I'm shaky and I don't want to make anybody nervous but I can't make these work these are from Ardell and usually Ardell is a pretty good brand the kit wasn't super inexpensive so I'm not sure what's going on here but this it's not working at all which means I have more eyeliner on than I would normally put on my eyes which is okay um but I was really hoping that these would work and they're just they're just not maybe the magnets aren't strong enough maybe I need a better brand okay so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to try and enhance my lashes I was a little disappointing because I really wanted to have false lashes and I can't do regular lashes so maybe I just need to try others have you guys tried other magnetic lashes and that they might work a little bit better for you so I do have a heavier line on the top with the black than I would normally have just so you guys know that but I still think it turned out okay next I'm going to take my NYX lip liner pencil and prune and that is going to give us a fairly stark lip again I can't talk and do this so after that I'm going to use flower beauty petal pout lipsticks and this one is in Dahlia Desire one of my favorite favorite bold lip colors a little trick here for you blot your lipstick use a towel because I have always a towel in my lap and then put another coat on cutting and then putting that extra coat on is going to make that budge proof I'm going to be right back with you after I do my hair and put a little jewelry on okay here's your finished look it came together really well I think this bright bold lip isn't something that I am very comfortable with or that I'd wear every day but I think that it's really dressy and it can really amp up a party look you are here visiting from Lisa Monique's channel I hope that you did enjoy it and that you decide to subscribe if everybody wouldn't mind please giving me a thumbs up that really does help me out very much and now I'm headed over to see what Lisa came up with and see her beautiful party look I can't wait to see what she did thank you so much for being a part of my channel and please take care of yourselves I hope everybody is happy and healthy and we can get together again very soon right here on my next video love you guys so much goodbye my friends


Hello everyone. In this video I want to talk about belts. Belts are another method of power transfer, how we can move or transfer torque from one shaft to another, and they're used fairly commonly in a lot of different machines. So belts can take a variety of formats. Usually we have that power being transferred from one shaft to another. And like using gears and things like that, they provide mechanical advantage, trading rotational velocity for torque, which is a common use. We can also have things such as tensioning systems, methods to keep the belt tensioned as it perhaps lengthens over time as it's under load for a long period of time. And belts in general can be either flat or they can be V-shaped. Flat belts would generally be used in higher speed applications. V belts would be used in applications where the speed isn't as high, but we want, you know, more power transmission capability. When we're designing a belt, usually the point that we have to look at is the smaller of the two pulleys that the belt is wrapped around. So in the example on the screen, the pulley on the left would be smaller, and therefore that's where we would need to watch out for slippage that could occur between the belt and the pulley. And the reason generally for that is that the wrap angle around the pulley is less. So we can see that on the larger pulley, the belt wraps around more than 180 degrees, so more than half of the pulley, whereas on the smaller pulley that's on the motor here, it's wrapping something less than 180 degrees. So just, you know, purely due to geometry, we have to take into account where we expect failure to occur. So I mentioned that V-belts were a commonly used shape. This just gives some example geometry of a V-belt, and we'll talk more about that in the next video. But generally, you know, the forces that are involved in a V-belt provide a little bit greater clamping force, and therefore torque transmission than just for a flat belt. We could also talk about timing belts. So timing belts are a variation on a belt, where we have gear-looking teeth, both in the pulley that the belt is wrapped around, and on the belt itself. That pulley or those teeth allow for there to be no slippage between the belt and the pulley itself, and therefore allows them to stay in sync with each other, hence this, you know, timing belt name. It reduces the tension requirement in the belt, so we don't have to have as much tension, and thus reduces loads on the shaft. But of course, you know, comes at the expense of costing more money, expensive greater expense, I guess is what I'm saying there. And just a little bit more difficulty in in the manufacture. Of course, not something we'll directly look at in very much depth, but related to belts would be chain or chain drive. A chain is, you know, usually made out of metal components. Of course, there are plastic chains as well, but metal components would be the most common, and they are going to be longer lasting than a belt in general. They would wear less frequently. The wear that they do experience can cause changes in the tension of the chains, so therefore, tensioning systems are sometimes needed, because as they wear that tension decreases. And there are, of course, ASME standards for sizing of chains and the associated sprockets and such that go with them to allow for dimensional compatibility across various manufacturers. So that's a brief overview of belts and a little bit on chains. I'll get into more detail on analysis in the next video. Thank you.


Hi, my name is Michael. I'm front-end developer at Yandex, and I'm very excited to have a talk on MetaRefresh this year. Many developers use jQuery or underscore just because they used to, and these libraries fulfill their duty partially, which generic named fix the messy DOM. And I think DOM is already fixed, and actually it was fixed after year 9 release. Today, every major browser passes ACID3 test, has valuable DOM APIs, and even support ECMAScript 5. But we still use a jQuery. I think jQuery style DOM traversal methods or event management are extremely convenient. And if you want to use only them, you have to include full source of jQuery or use custom builds, which is, if you like, you will be a half size of jQuery. And I think this is insane. In short, two years ago, W3C released a working draft about web components. In short, it just an API to build a custom HTML elements. And my talk is about components in general, or if you like modules. Come to my talk components now, and I show you how to get rid of jQuery addiction. Write reusable components and make web modular.


The Underdark, a mysterious yet cruel realm, filled with tunnels and evolved creatures. All is strange in the land, but now, it has become the battleground for the most evil of monsters. Not all will make it through, but those who do may claim glory for saving the surface world. Out of the Abyss is a campaign that has you travel through the Underdark and learn of its strange inhabitants. The campaign is particularly long, so in this video, we will explore what story lies ahead. You begin your adventure, waking to the sight of bars. Having been captured by the Drow for some days, your hands are shackled and clothing missing. Talking to the other prisoners, you learn that you are in the Underdark at a Drow outpost called Valkeneve. The terribly dark and maddening atmosphere is suffocating to outsiders. You must escape this horrid realm. There are rumors of a contingent coming from the Drow city nearby, Menzo Berenson. They plan on transporting the prisoners here to the Drow city so time is of the essence. A few prisoners and you escape the confines of your holding. After searching for equipment in the Drow post, you make your way to the outskirts of the location. Here, you find three passages. The Northern Passage leads you to the city of Menzo Berenson. The Western Passage leads to a dark lake, and the Southern Passage leads to the Duragar City of Grakostag. With your sights set on escaping this terrible place, entering the Drow city would be unwise. While the Duragar may be unkind, it's better than being captive once again. Most appealing, however, is the Dark Lake, where you may be able to find a boat and escape via the waters.  Hot on your heels is a party of drows, searching to recapture you.  These passages wind and lead you into strange and creative pathways. The journey is long and arduous, and the pathway is dark and confusing. The Underdark is maddening, and those who traverse it must be prepared to test their sanity. After days of travel, you hear the sound of flowing water echoing from the distance. The Dark Lake must be near. Arriving to the body of water, you follow its path to a city. Traversing the town, you hope to find a ship and use one of the Dark Lake's many rivers and escape the Underdark. Here you find a race of fish people called Kua Toas.  You encounter an Archpriest of the Sea Mother named Plut Plut Peen. He tells you that his daughter has been having strange visions of Limu Guggen, the Deep Father. She proclaims him to be the new god of her people, and now the town is split into two. The ritual to summon the Deep Father requires humanoid sacrifices, and the Archpriest hopes to use you as bait in order to stop the ritual. You agree, and he brings you to the altar of the Deep Father. Plut proclaims to his daughter that he has brought you as sacrifices for her ritual. Just as you are brought forwards, however, Plut Peen attacks his daughter killing her. Unfortunately, it is too late, as rising from the water is the Prince of Demons himself, Demo Gorgon. You barely make your escape from the city, catching glimpses of a twin-headed monstrosity laying waste to the town. Following the coast of the Dark Lake, you come upon the Duragar city of Grackelstug. Once reaching the gates, you explore the city only to find an extremely hostile towards you. Through aiding the many politically powerful residents of the city, you find a merchant who wishes to bring his gems to Blingdenstone, along with a ghost who requests you take his corpse there as well. Gaining enough favor, you request an audience with the Deep King. As you reach the hold of the Deep King, you see on the end sits a crowned Duragar, and a royal consort dressed in coins. You see that he is mad, an attempt to help rid the king of his insanity. This enrages the consort, who exposes herself to be a succubus.  You ask him for help on your journey to escape the Underdark, and he provides you armor and refuge from the drought chasing you. It quits with your new gear, you set forth to deliver the gem in the corpse, hoping to find an exit to this forsaken realm. Following the waterways of the Underdark, you find a strange yet serenely beautiful passage covered in glowing mushrooms. At the other end of the tunnel is a vast mushroom forest. You see the areas populated by myconids and their minds-controlled slaves called spore servants. One of the prisoners you escaped with, Stool, returns to their home here, having brought home Stool. A myconid leader, Sovereign Bastidia, thanks you. Bastidia tells you that some of the other leaders have been acting off due to a strange spore. You learn that the other myconid leaders are harboring strange ideas of infiltrating the outside world, and more followers grow by the day. Bastidia gives you a tour of Neverlight Grove, and introduces you to each of the other leaders, pointing out which have the strange affliction. She also requests that you enter the Garden of Welcome and find out what is going on in that area. After a day's rest, you enter the Garden of Welcome, or you find a drow party, or what remains of it. A drow aculite is still alive, begging you for her death. She tells you that they were sent here to capture you, but met an unsightly demise when aiding the myconids. As you converse with the drow, you are attacked by a leader of the myconid, transformed by the spores in the area. After defeating the creature, you enter further in, where you find the Demon Lord, Zuckmoy, asleep. Her servants play out a mock wedding, and you understand that it is imperative to leave the city now that there is a Demon Lord here. You rush to Basidia to inform her of the Demon Lord that lies within, and she gathers as many citizens as she can, escaping, never like Grove. Set on the destination of Blingdonstone, you traverse through the tunnels and rivers to the location. Greeted by mining outcrops and gnomes, you find yourself outside city structure with high walls. The deep gnomes within the city welcome you wholeheartedly, for it is not often that they encounter outsiders. You deliver the gem and corpse from Gracklestug, and gain the favor of the gnomes here. Interacting with the citizens, they are more than happy to help you find an escape, they are currently preoccupied. You meet with the informal leader, Dorbo Diggermatic, and he requests that you help him with the Earth Elementals and Medusa in Rockblight. Additionally, he requests your aid in dealing with the Weirats and Uzes terrorizing the city. You help him clear up Rockblight, and form a peace treaty between the gnomes and the Weirats. On your way to reporting your success, a battle erupts in the town between the gnomes and the Uzes. Using your newfound allegiance with the gnomes, you defeat the Uzes in their pudding king. Dorbo thanks you for defending the town, and declares you heroes of Blingdonstone. Feast in the city is had, and the residents hold a huge party in respects of your help. Dorbo offers you a map and guides, to a portal that leads you out of the Underdark, and tells you that you will always be welcomed here. Dorbo bids you farewell, and you set forth to the exit of the Underdark. With the help of your gnome guides, you easily make your way to the Old Portal. One of the guides begins to open the portal, but from behind you appears the drows that have been chasing you. The drow begins to attack you as the gnome desperately attempts to open the portal.  Having escaped the Underdark, you find yourself in an open plane, away from the dark and horrible tunnels. You rush off into civilization, hoping to warn the people of the demon lord stirring in the Underdark. After a few months recollecting yourself and resting, you are summoned to Gontalgrim by King Bruner Battlehammer. Once arriving to Gontalgrim, you are directed to meet the king. The friendly king has heard of your escape from the Underdark, and requests that you recount your findings in the foreign land, specifically on your counter with Demogorgon and Zuckmoy. After doing so, he invites you to stay for the feast being held later in the day. You stick around for the feast, and have a grand time dining with representatives of factions all over the world. When the party ends, the king excuses himself in a servant request that you follow the king. King Bruner tells you that the factions he has recruited today is an aid for his mission. He wishes for you to return back to the Underdark, and find out more of the demon lords. There is a trading post in Mantle Derrith, where you can meet Gazrom Doolock. Gazrom will lead you to Graven Hollow, where you'll find ancient knowledge. With the mission in place, you recruit a member of each of the factions, and journey back into the Underdark. Using the hidden networks belonging to the Zinterim faction you've allied with, you make your way to the Dark Lake in the Underdark. A 22-day trip brings you to the entrance of Mantle Derrith, an outpost spiraling up to the ceiling of the cavern. Entering the outpost, you find it in Chaos. The factions of Duragar, Zinterim, Gnomes, and Drows are fighting amongst each other, and at the center of it all is a gem. This gem is being passed among the people in Mantle Derrith, bringing madness to whoever holds it. Inside the gem is the demon lord Fraz Urblu, who is the culprit for the madness surrounding the gem. Once intercepting the gem, you destroy it, hoping to prevent future madness from spreading through the outpost. In doing so, you have released the demon lord back into the abyss. Meeting with Gazrom Doolock, you tell him that you were sent here by King Bruner to find more information of the Underdark. Understanding your quest, he hands you his ring, which will guide the way to a library of information. You exit the outpost, hoping it will remain in peace. You explore much of the Underdark, and check out the previous cities that you have visited three months ago. Seeing each city in a dire state of madness and destruction from the demon lords in the Underdark, you make your way to the library of Graven Hollow. After traveling aimlessly for many days, the ring given to you by Gazrom starts to glow. You must be near the library. Approaching the stone library, you are greeted by a vassalist. The vassalist introduces himself as Veldaisgar, and tells you that he has been expecting you. It brings you into the library, where you experience visions of events that occur either in the past, present, or future. You see visions of demon lords and explorers of the library, all from varying time periods. While exploring the library, you meet a drow named Vaziran, who tells you of the sinister plot unfolding. Loth, the goddess of drows, has been influencing a drow named Grom to bring the demon lords into the Underdark in order for her to have free reign of the abyss. Vaziran offers to take you to his tower in Orage, where he will tell you of his plans to challenging the demon lords. While skeptical of the drow, you still follow him to his building. Once arriving in Orage, you enter the tower and make your way to the studio. Here, Vaziran discusses his plans with you. The drow tells you that he plans on crafting a talisman called the Dark Heart. It will be used in a demonic ritual that is so evil it will compel every demon lord to go to it. Unfortunately, he does not have the components to craft it, and needs your help to retrieve it. The components are a purple worm egg and the central eye of a beholder, both found in the worm writings, 6 feathers of an angel, and a goristro's heart, both found in the labyrinth, 13 tin mass mushrooms, blood from a demon lord, and lastly, Gromp's grimoire. Additionally, he informs you that the Dark Heart must be placed in Menzo Barrenzen. Once all the demon lords gather, they will fight among one another, and the final one standing will be easier to defeat. Agreeing to help him, you set forth to the worm writings to collect the first of the components. Making your way into the nest of the worm writings, you encounter a party of the drows who also wish to steal the eggs. Having a brief tussle with them, a purple worm appears and attacks your party.  Along the way, you find the layer of Karazhkar, a beholder. You fight through the beholder, and barely manage to scrape by, killing the floating monster. You carve a central eye, and proceed to carry it back to a Raj, where you hand over the egg and the eye to Viziran. Leaving the tower, you make your way to the labyrinth to find the feathers of an angel. Going to an area near Grakelstug, you find the labyrinth. You descend into the long and winding maze, where laws of physics seem to be forgotten. Encountering strange lands and weird monsters, you finally find a garisto in battle with the demon lord, Ynogu, and his null companions. Hiding in the corner, you wait there until a victor emerges. Ynogu lands a finishing blow onto the garistro, and feasts on the body before leaving into the labyrinth. Taking advantage of the opportunity, you collect the garistro's heart and carry the blood of the demon lord in the horn of the monster. Later in, you are able to find angels, but it is not what you had expected. Locked in stone, they are unmoving and forever bound.  Fleeing for your life, you make it back to the entrance of the labyrinth, and bring the three ingredients to the tower. The city of Menzo Baranzen. Here's where the drows mainly reside. Traversing it will be difficult, but you need the grimoire of Gromp. You sneak into the city and avoid most of the drows, for they would surely capture you. That is, with the exception of a few. Or with the help of the drows you encounter at the Wormrithings, the family members of Gromp, or even the spies of Viziren, you make your way to Gromp's house where you find his grimoire. Stealing it from his studies, you escape the town and make it back to the tower, leaving the only one item left to be retrieved. You rest in the tower, preparing to find the last item, but suddenly, you get a vision. The vision is a wedding of a horrible creature, followed by an image of a familiar myconid, Vesidia. She begs you to stop this wedding, for it would give Zuckmoi unimaginable power. Afterwards, you see a land filled with fungi and learn the name of the fungi network the demon lord plans to marry, Aramaicos. Rushing to the wedding destination, you make your way to the territory Aramaicos and find it just as you saw in your vision. You embark closer to the center of the fungi network, where you are met with Vesidia.  She reassures you that the spores will not harm you, but instead protect you from Zuckmoi's mind-controlling spores. In the death of Aramaicos, you defeat some monsters who burst on defeat. They release some spores that bring you into a fungal dream. You make your way into the fungal brain, and witness the severe damage caused by the demon lord's presence. Zuckmoi appears, and attacks you in the dream, but midway through the fight, she exits the dream. Afterwards, you repair the damage done upon the fungal mind. Aramaicos thanks you for your aid, but implores you to hurry to the side of the wedding. You rush to the wedding to find Zuckmoi being devoured by another demon lord, Jublix. You fight the slime and barely make it out alive, having slain the slime monster. The city of Aramaicos hails you heroes of the Mykonids, and bestows upon you a charm of heroism. Additionally, tin masks can be found all over the corpses of the demon lords. You collect 13 of them, and return to Eroge, handing Vaziran the final item for his talisman. Vaziran crafts the talisman, and informs you to take it to the drow city. He hands you a sending scroll, and informs you that once it has been placed, inform him through the spell, and he shall initiate the ritual. You make your way there, hoping to put an end to this horrible conflict. Sneaking back into the city of Menzo Barrenzen, you place the talisman in the city, and prepare yourself for battle. You can use the scroll and cast a sending spell for Vaziran to start his ritual. In no time at all, four demon lords suddenly appear before you. Dima Gorgon, Orcus, Baphomet, and Yunogu. Had you not defeated Zuckmoi and Jublix, you are sure their arrival would have made things much more difficult. The demon lords immediately strike one another, landing blow after blow. They wreak havoc among the drow city, as the drows run for dear life. You chase down the battle, following the brutal events as each demon lord is struck down. Now only one remains, Dima Gorgon.  Picking up the wand left from Orcus, you use its power along with the help of the allied factions, and slay the final demon lord.  The world is safe from the demon lords, at least for now. Hello everybody, thank you so much for sticking it out to the end.  If you guys plan on running this campaign, first of all, good luck to you.  Secondly, I used an online resource when writing my script that is really helpful, I'll link it in the description, you should totally use that online resource. It like moves things around, that should be moved around, and explains things pretty well. They make some suggestions that are really helpful to the story. Otherwise, I really appreciate you guys watching, please give me a like and subscribe. It takes me a while to make these, and I really appreciate all of that. And yeah, have a good day!


My name is Sarang Hamasahid. I'm Director of Middle East programs at the U.S. Institute of Peace. The U.S. led global coalition to defeat ISIS, declared military defeat of ISIS in Syria in March of 2019. Today, ISIS as a military threat is significantly degraded, but it's not finished. Al-Hol camp in northeast Syria became a visible symbol of the challenges that remain behind. There, in Al-Hol, at its peak, there were 73,000 people from some 60 nationalities. The current population of Al-Hol in August of 2023 is estimated to be around 53,000. About 25,000 of those are Iraqis, 18,000 Syrians, and the rest are from some 50 to 60 nationalities that remain in the camp. Most of them are women and children. About 50% of the population are children under the age of 11. Al-Hol represents a complex mix of humanitarian and security challenges. On the one side, many of these women and children did not choose the life that they have ended up stuck with, especially the children. They did not choose their parents. They did not choose being at Al-Hol. But on the other hand, government officials, community members perceive those who are in Al-Hol to be ISIS. So there is an institutional and social stigma on those residents of Al-Hol. In Iraq, USIP is working with government and community leaders to address the enduring challenges of the conflict with ISIS. And that includes helping people in Al-Hol or displaced in Iraq, but have a perception of affiliation with ISIS to be able to have a decent path at integrating into society and having a decent life. For this, USIP is organizing roundtables, trainings, workshops and problem-solving dialogues that bring government and civil society leaders together to address the issues of ISIS and return on reintegration. The process is informed by data directly collected from USIP's conflict and stabilization monitoring framework in Ninoa and also stigma research in the province of Anbar. Through this data, we are painting a picture of what does stigma mean in practical terms for those people, be it bullying of children at school, be it isolation and harassment of women, young men not being able to work, or the general process of formal or social pressure for those people to disavow family members as being ISIS in many conditions that they are not just under pressure so that they can reintegrate, they are doing those disavows. We have been successful in establishing community and government mechanisms, like for example in Anbar, to transform community opposition to support to actual collaboration between the tribal leaders and government leaders of Iraq and enable the return of people with perceived affiliation with ISIS but actually cleared by the government of Iraq to be able to go back to Anbar. So far, the government of Iraq has been able to return 5,569 Iraqis to Iraq. Half of those have already returned to their areas after undergoing a rehabilitation process in the Al-Jadah Rehabilitation Center in Nineveh. The international community, Iraqi and Syrian partners, have made a lot of progress in the military defeat of ISIS and stabilizing areas that have been cleared from ISIS but there is a need to continue and deepen work on rehabilitation and reintegration and do that in practical terms. There is a need for know-how, there is a need for problem solving and there is a need for psychosocial support, especially for children at school for women as they reintegrate, especially for youth as they try to find economic opportunity. There is a need to deepen that work to the individual or the case level and help those people to go home and overcome the institutional and community barriers. Otherwise, we will be risking the vulnerability and the isolation of tens of thousands of Iraqis and Syrians to become available for malign actors, be it ISIS as it is trying to research or other extremist organizations and malign actors.
