In this video, we're going to walk through adding a banner image to your mighty cause page first to log into your mighty cause account and navigate to your nonprofits page. Once you're on your profile, find your dashboard on the left hand side of the page and then choose page editor anytime you want to make an update to the look of your mighty cause page. You just need to make sure that you are in page editor mode and then you want to upload your banner in your theme. So you can click on theme and you can also click on that right here on your banner. So I want to edit my theme and I want to change my background image. So I'm going to click that pencil and it's the same upload tool that exists for your logo. So if you use that before, it's the same process. And once again, you can choose from where you'd like to upload your logo, whether you'd like to use Facebook, Google Drive, Google Photos, Dropbox and so on. And we also have a gallery of images that you can use to have a banner image if you don't have one that you'd like to upload. So there you can just crop it to wherever you would like it to be. But if you have an image that you would like to use for your banner image, you can upload it from one of these sources. I'm going to choose to upload it from local files because I've saved it to my desktop. You can also click the button if you need to route through any folders. So I'm just going to drag my banner image into this area. And I'm going to use the cropping tool. It's a 50 to 9 ratio, which is a long rectangular ratio. And you can use these to alter where you are cropping, but the image is going to be cut off on your page where these crop lines are. So I'm going to choose to crop it right here and click done. So as you can see, that's been uploaded. What I can do as well is add a filter. So I can alter the color by default. This will be the color. It will be a gray that makes it fade into the background. I can either ramp up the strength if I want to see more of that filter. Or if I don't want any filter at all, I can push this back to zero. So I'm going to put that right in the middle. And then when I'm done, I'm just going to click the green check mark and my theme is uploaded. So that was all I needed to do to upload a banner. If you have any questions about uploading a banner or you're having a difficult time getting the image you want to work, you can always email us at support at mightycause.com. Just some best practices for banner images. Text images don't work well. So if you have text on your background image, just keep in mind that this may look different on a mobile device. And be sure to test your image on a mobile device to make sure that the image works for your page. Again, email us at support at mightycause.com. If you have any questions about uploading your banner.


7. Misconceptions about TEFL Uncovered. Teaching English abroad is a career more popular than ever. However, with so many options and resources about TEFL available online, there is a lot of false information out there. This post uncovers the 7 most common misconceptions about TEFL and clears up any confusion. 1. You need a degree to teach English abroad. Wrong. While a degree is necessary to secure a work visa in some countries, there are plenty of countries where it's not necessary to possess a degree. If you are a native English speaker and have a TEFL certificate, you still have a lot of options on where to teach even without a degree. South American countries like Argentina, Ecuador, or Peru, as well as places in Asia like Cambodia or Russia, are perfect to teach English without a degree. 2. Misconception. TEFL is only for young people. Never. While most countries have a minimum age requirement of 18 years for their teachers, there are few upper age limits. Even countries where there are upper age restrictions, those are generally set at around 50 to 55 years giving you plenty of options to explore the world. TEFL and Tezal definitely aren't limited to fresh college grads looking for a year abroad. Life experience is a valuable asset when it comes to teaching and it can get your TEFL job application to the top of the pile. Misconception 3. TEFL doesn't pay well. Not true. While teaching English abroad is all about new experiences and memory making, it doesn't mean it'll leave you broke. TEFL salaries around the world vary considerably depending on the country and school you work at, but if you have a TEFL certification, you will be able to live a comfortable lifestyle and even save a substantial amount of your paycheck if you choose the right location. The Middle East, South Korea and China are amongst the highest paying places for TEFL teachers with salaries of up to $4,000 USD, £3,000 per month. Misconception 4. You need to speak another language. Nope. TEFL is all about immersing your students in the English language without using the local language. A lot of schools even forbid their teachers and students from using their native language in the classroom with English-only policies. While you can certainly learn a new language when teaching English abroad, being fluent in your new country's language is not necessary at all. Misconception 5. It's really hard to find a job teaching English abroad. Not at all. The demand for English teachers is actually through the roof in many areas around the world. Especially those with a TEFL certificate will be able to pick and choose the best job offers and enjoy higher salaries and work for renowned schools. If you are determined and do your research, you can find a teaching position in a matter of weeks. Misconception 6. You don't need a TEFL qualification if you're a native English speaker. Mythbusting. While you can find a job teaching English abroad simply because you are a native speaker of English, a TEFL qualification will get you access to higher paying jobs at better schools worldwide with better job security. Also, do you really want to stand in front of a class of 30 students without having a clue of what you're doing? Misconception 7. You have to teach kids. Not at all. While it is true that young learners are a big part of the international English teaching market, there are plenty of teaching jobs that involve adult learners. These can be found especially at private language schools where teachers deliver one-to-one lessons as well as business English and conversational English classes to adults. Are you ready to start a new career teaching English overseas? As you can see, there are many myths involving teaching English abroad. However, with these seven misconceptions about TEFL uncovered, you are ready to embark on a successful teaching career abroad. Apply now for your TEFL TESOL certification course and start teaching in a matter of months. Speak with an ITTT advisor today to put together your personal plan for teaching English abroad.

Hello and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. It says find the derivative of the following function The given function is x plus cos x into x minus tan x to find derivative of this function will be using product rule which says Derivative of the function u into v is given by u into dv by dx plus V into du by dx So this will be the key idea Let us now move on to the solution The given function is x plus cos x into x minus tan x. We have to find derivative of x plus cos x into x minus tan x Now let u be equal to x plus cos x and we be equal to x minus tan x Now We have to find derivative of u into v. We will use the product rule u into dv by dx plus V into du by dx Let us now substitute the values of u and v here u is x plus cos x into derivative of x minus tan x plus v that is x minus tan x into derivative of u and u is x plus cos x Now This is equal to x plus cos x and the derivative of x with respect to x is 1 and derivative of tan x is secant square x so minus tan x becomes minus secant square x plus x into x minus tan x Into derivative of x plus cos x and the derivative of x with respect to x is 1 and derivative of cos x is minus sin x Again, this is equal to x plus cos x and taking negative common negative sin common from this this becomes secant square x minus 1 plus x minus tan x Into 1 minus sin x now. We know that secant square x Minus 1 is tan square x so this becomes minus tan square x into x plus cos x plus x minus tan x into 1 minus sin x Hence the derivative of the given function is minus tan square x into x plus cos x plus x minus tan x Into 1 minus sin x And this completes the question. Bye for now. Take care. Have a good day


It's great to see a lot of things out there I have never seen before at some of our events and that's always what we are striving for, especially with this game changer series. It's really allowed us to expand our audiences.  And I can promise you that in an hour and a half from now you will be walking out of the air with a greatly expanded idea, a notion of what glass is, how important it is and how critical it is in our life and why we are now living in what some people consider the age of glass. I'm Karen McCarty, the curatorial director of Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum and I would like to welcome all of you to this evening's event, the evening's game changer with Jeff Evenson and Courtney McCorp-Rated. Thanks to the generosity of Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO, our game changer conversations invites influential designers, thinkers and industry leaders for robust discussions of design's boundary at bushing purpose. Glass is one of the most important materials on our planet. There's a huge range of what glass is and isn't and what Corning has developed is truly spectacular. Most people associate Corning with ovenproof bowls, pyrex bowls, light bulbs and the extraordinary museum in Corning in New York. But few know about Corning's fantastic contributions to the world that totally impact our lives. We could go to the moon because of Corning because they developed glass that could withstand such extreme heat and which allows astronauts to see through windows. Part of the Hubble telescope was cast at Corning and enabled us to look at the heavens and discover new things. The reason why we can walk down the street and breathe today is thanks to Corning's brilliant design of a catalytic converter which I think we might hear about tonight. And until quite recently, we thought of thin glass like wallpaper made into windows to keep flies out. But it now has ingeniously wonderful interactive properties such as the more recent Gorilla Glass. And in fact, thanks to Corning earlier this morning, I typed on glass to create the notes for this evening's questions and my introduction. Cooper Hewitt and Corning have collaborated on several occasions. We partnered on two glass labs, one in our garden in 2008 and two years later on Governor's Island. Corning also very generously produces the beautiful glass trophies that we give to each year's National Design winners. And tonight I'm delighted to welcome to Cooper Hewitt, Jeff Evenson, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at Corning Incorporated. Jeff joined Corning in 2011. In this role, he oversees corporate strategy, corporate communications and analytics. Before Corning, he spent seven years at Sanford C. Bernstein as Senior Vice President and Senior Analyst where he focused on data networking companies. Earlier in his career, Jeff was a partner at McKinsey and Company where he led technology and market assessments for early stage technology. Sounds perfect for Corning. Jeff received his PhD from Harvard University in a bachelor's degree in physics from MIT, his chairman of the Corning Museum of Glass, a trustee of the Corning Foundation and a member of the board of directors of View Inc. and Fuzzy Logic Inc. We are very grateful that Jeff is here to tell us about the game-changing expanding developments in glass technology in fields as diverse as consumer electronics, architecture and medicine as well as the possibilities for exploring the atomic structure of glass. Drawing on his experience as chairman of the Corning Museum of Glass, Jeff will also discuss the role that artists and designers play in realizing glass's creative and functional potential. Following his presentation, I will join Jeff on stage for a Q&A. But for now, I'd like to welcome Jeff to the stage. Thanks, Kara, and good evening. I appreciate the opportunity to be here tonight and speak to you about a topic that I am truly passionate about. As Kara noted, I am Chief Strategy Officer for Corning Incorporated and for those of you who don't know us, I think the shortest description that fits us is we are a global leader in glass science and related capabilities. For 165 years, we've applied our expertise in advanced glass, ceramics, optical physics to solve some very tough technology challenges. And in many cases, we've also disrupted industries. Our innovations do include the first ball for Edison's electric light, the substrate at the heart of catalytic converters, and the first low-loss optical fiber. We have a long track record of game-changing innovations. But tonight I am not here to talk about how my company is a game changer, but instead to talk about the game-changing material that's at the center of just about everything that we do. Glass is arguably one of the most transformative materials of all time. And today it's changing the game in industries from consumer electronics to telecommunications, life sciences, architecture, transportation, energy, and more. Given that, I'd like to start tonight by describing exactly what glass is and illustrating some of the properties that make it such an extraordinary material. Next, I'll review some of the revolutions that glass has spawned and talk to you about why, despite those, we believe that we have only recently entered the glass age. I'll then finish up my prepared remarks by taking a look at some examples of glass-based breakthroughs that Corning and other innovators are bringing to life. And we'll finish up the evening, as Kara mentioned, with discussion and questions. So does that sound good? All right, great. Let's get started. So what is glass? At its core, glass is quite simple. It consists mostly of silica in the form of sand. But glass is not a single material. Instead, it's a broad family of materials. By adding different elements from the periodic table to sand, you can dramatically change its properties and tune its performance for specific applications. So let's talk about some of the inherent and achievable properties that make glass so special. I'm sure you already appreciate its aesthetic properties. For more than 3,000 years, artists have used glass because of how it forms, how it feels, how it handles light, and how it takes on color. But glass is also remarkable for its technical attributes. For example, glass is one of the world's most stable and enduring engineering materials. Silica glasses get their stability from a continuous network of silicon-oxygen bonds. These bonds remain intact from the time the component sand is mined through the life cycle of the material. That's why glass objects endure for centuries. In contrast, metal corrodes and plastic disintegrates or generates toxic chemicals when burned. Let's consider an example of glass's stability. Have any of you heard someone say that the windows in medieval churches are thicker at the bottom than the top because of relaxation that takes place over the centuries? Yes, well, it's completely wrong. In fact, it would take about 20 trillion times the age of the earth for gravity to produce a visible change in the thickness of a window. Next, glass is almost impermeable. It's been used for thousands of years as a container because of its effectiveness at protecting context from the surrounding environment. A molecule oxygen takes about two weeks to get through a one-millimeter thick piece of high-tech plastic. That same oxygen molecule would take about five trillion years to get through a one-millimeter thick piece of silica glass. Glass also features unprecedented transparency, which makes it ideal for both radio frequency and optical transmission and communications. The glass used for optical fiber is about 30 times more transparent than the clearest water, and only about 1% less transmissive than air on the clearest day. If the ocean were made of the glass used to make optical fiber, you could see the bottom from every point on the planet. And despite its reputation for being fragile, and what happened to the glass in the war earlier this week, glass could be engineered to be incredibly strong and damage-resistant. Scientists estimate that glass's theoretical strength is about 15 gigapascals. Now, my guess is only a few of you in this audience regularly measure things in pascals, so let me give you an example to explain. Imagine a scale that measures the pressure under an elephant's foot. To give this scale to measure even one gigapascal would require stacking 10,000 elephants on top of one another. Now, despite repeated requests, Kara would not allow me to bring 10,000 elephants into the museum this evening, so I'll not be demonstrating this directly, but later in my talk I will give you a different example of how strong glass is. Finally, glass is incredibly versatile, which opens up tremendous possibilities from both an artistic and an engineering perspective. Artists can mold, cast, blow, and draw glass into their desired shape because its viscosity decreases with increasing temperature, unlike most other materials that have an abrupt transition from solid to liquid or gas. And, as I noted earlier, scientists and engineers can create a nearly infinite range of new glasses by combining silica with different elements from the periodic table. To date, scientists have incorporated about 50 elements with silica glass to create unique compositions. But we're just getting started. That brings us to the end of the first section. I've described what glass is and illustrated some of the properties that make it so cool.  The development of spectacles in the 13th century allowed monks to copy and study religious texts and help popularize reading with the invention of the printing press. The development of crown glass in the 14th century allowed people to incorporate windows into their homes while keeping out cold, wind, and rain. The invention of the telescope in the 17th century expanded our understanding of the universe and the environment in which we live. The development of the microscope enabled the discovery of the cell, bacteria and viruses, leading to vaccines and antibiotics. Glass mirrors led to the formal use of linear perspective during the Renaissance and encouraged artists such as Rembrandt to paint self-portraits. The development of tempered glass in the early 1900s led to saber military gear and automotive windshields. Glass lenses and picture tubes created major shifts in popular culture by enabling photography, motion pictures, and television. And the invention of low-loss optical fiber in 1970 created the backbone of the internet and ushered in the telecommunications revolution. I think you'll all agree that's a pretty impressive list. In light of glass's long history and already profound impact on the world, it's reasonable to ask why do we believe that we are living in a glass age today? One reason is the ubiquity of glass and its central role in our day-to-day lives. We interact with glass screens on our computers and smartphones. We take pictures through glass lenses, transmit information through glass fibers, protect materials in glass covers and containers, and incorporate glass elements that are both functional and decorative into our homes. But the main reason that I believe that the glass age is happening now is because of the journey that we've been on from magic to science and from science back to magic. Let me explain. For centuries, the LeCourgis Cup confounded observers with its mysterious property of appearing jade-green when lit from the front and ruby-red when lit from the inside. The cup was fabricated in the fourth century, but it was only recently that scientists figured out that the phenomenon was due to the presence of nanoscale clusters of gold and silver. When monks are used early spectacles as reading aids, they didn't understand how the eye refracts light or focuses images. When Murano glass makers in the 15th century made extraordinarily clear crystal by melting river stones with plant ash, they almost certainly didn't understand how silica interacted with sodium or manganese. People believed that magic was behind all these things. Today, we replace that magic with science. We understand how different formulation and fabrication techniques determine the atomic state and structure of a glass. That allows us to precisely control its mechanical, thermal, and optical properties. Our understanding of glass physics and chemistry also reduces our dependence on serendipity and time-consuming trial-and-error experimentation. We now use sophisticated modeling techniques to predict the behavior of how glass will interact with its environment and behave in specific applications. This knowledge has dramatically accelerated the design and development of industrial glasses. In the past 10 years alone, scientists have unleashed capabilities that we could only dream of a few decades ago. As I noted at the beginning of my talk, Corning has a 165-year history of glass-based innovation. Yet some of our most recent breakthroughs have happened in relatively quick succession. In the past decade, Corning scientists have developed chemically strengthened glass that can withstand the impact of baseballs traveling more than 35 miles an hour. Let's take a look. Soda-like glass is on the left. Corning Gorilla Glass is on the right. All the panes of glass are one millimeter thick. Quite the difference, huh? Corning. We've also created flexible glass that's slimmer than a dollar bill. Did you ever think you'd see glass do this? And we've developed antimicrobial glass that suppresses the growth of mold, mildew, fungi, and bacteria. Of course, we're not the only ones forging new frontiers in glass. For example, the VTT Technical Research Institute of Finland has created smart lenses that use optical light guides and large, high-quality images that augment reality. And scientists at Mosai Corporation have developed bioactive glass glasses that heal flush wounds by stimulating the body's natural defenses.


Gloria says, I'm an attractive woman. I don't understand him. He says he's not seeing anyone else, but never says he loves me. I went no contact. Other men are coming around, but I care for him. Well, I mean, have you talked to him about it? I mean, are you saying you love him? Have you talked to him about it? Have you communicated that it's one of those things, like he doesn't say he loves you. Are you saying you love him and he's not reciprocating that he loves you back? You know, like, what exactly is the situation here? It's one of those things, like sometimes we talk about these things, like no contact is a pretty, it's a pretty intense kind of technique. It's a pretty intense thing to use with somebody. And so it's like, okay, he's not saying he loves you, so you go no contact. Like, have you tried communicating with him first?  Have you tried to communicate how you feel about him not saying it?  Cause there's a whole bunch of steps in there between, right? Like over here is he's not saying he loves me and over here is like, I'm going no contact, which is like a thing that you do with people who are exes, right? That you're trying to get back together with. And so there's a whole world of things here in the middle that you probably want to try starting with communication instead of just jumping to the no contact thing.


A short but up-to-date review on the role of dyes in the photo initiation processes of polymerization reactions is presented. Radical and cationic reactions are largely encountered in the radiation curing and the imaging areas for use in traditional coding applications as well as in high-tech sectors such as nanofabrication, computer-to-plate processing, laser-direct imaging, manufacture of optical elements, etc. Recent promising developments concerned with the introduction of the silo-radical chemistry that enhances the polymerization efficiency are also discussed. This article was authored by Christian Le, Jacques Lelavi, Xavier Alonas, and others.


In today's assignment we are going to look at optoelectronic devices. So this is assignment 8. In assignment 7 we looked at problems dealing with general interaction of light with semiconductors. Today we are going to look specifically at some problems leading to devices. So in the classes we looked at photo detectors, solar cells, LEDs and lasers. We did a bit of solar cell trying to calculate the current voltage characteristics. So some of the assignment problems here will mostly deal with solar cells. We will also look a bit at photo conductors and also a problem on LED. We won't be focusing on lasers because the way the laser works is very similar to how an LED works except that you have a population inversion that is created and you have an incoming photon that stimulates the emission. So let us go to problem number 1. In problem 1 we have a PIN diode. So you have a P type, intrinsic and an N type. So we are asked to draw a qualitative energy band diagram both in equilibrium, forward and reverse bias. So we have a PIN diode. So we have essentially two interfaces, one between the P type and the intrinsic material. The other between the intrinsic and the N type.  So all the three materials are the same. The only difference is in the doping concentration and the type. So I will start with the P, I and N. So we can draw the energy band diagram for all three of this. So the material is the same. So the valence band and the conduction band are essentially located at the same point. In the case of a P type material the Fermi level is close to the valence band. For an intrinsic it is close to the middle and for an N type EF is close to the conduction band. So when we have this in equilibrium we know that the Fermi levels must line up. So in equilibrium I have the Fermi levels line up. Far away from the interface your material still behaves as the same. So this is P type. This is intrinsic and this is N type and making sure that the band gaps are approximately the same and then we can join all three. So essentially this is your PIN junction in equilibrium. There are two contact potentials that are developed. One between the P and the intrinsic region and one between the intrinsic and the N type region. So we can again draw this in both forward and reverse biased. The case of a forward bias the P is connected to positive and N is connected to negative. So the carriers are injected into the device and the barriers are lower. In reverse bias it is the other way round P is connected to negative, N is connected to positive so that the barriers actually increase. So let me draw that next. So in the case of a forward bias P is connected to positive and N is connected to negative. So on this side I have a P type semiconductor at the center. I have an intrinsic and here I have an N type. If you draw this slightly more clearly. So the important point is that in the case of a forward bias the barrier is lower so that you can have a current going through the device. Now we have a reverse bias. So P is connected to negative and N is connected to positive. So here the barrier is actually increased so that now it has become more difficult for the current to flow through. So the last part of the question asked for use as a photo detector do we use the PIN junction in forward or reverse bias. So if you look at the working of a photo detector a photo detector is one where light falls onto your material so onto your device and essentially this creates electron and holes which are detected as a current and the intensity or the value of the current is directly proportional to the intensity of the light. So for this to happen we essentially want the current through the device to be very small because if there is a background current that will essentially act as noise to the current that is generated by light shining on the material. So this happens when the PIN junction is essentially connected in reverse bias so that electrons and holes that are typically created in the intrinsic region get separated. So if I have a P, I and N and I have light shining onto the material electron is generated here a hole is generated here these electrons move to the N side and the holes move to the P side because of reverse bias and this gets detected as a current. The current once again is proportional to the number of electrons and holes that are generated which is directly proportional to the intensity of the light that is falling. So for use as a photo detector the PIN junction or the PIN diode must be connected in reverse bias so let us now go to problem 2.  The wavelength of the light depends upon the band gap of the material so by tuning the band gap of the material by adding different dopants can essentially tune the light output. So in this particular case we are asked to show that the change in the emitted wavelength lambda so d lambda over dt so the change in wavelength with respect to temperature is approximately given to be minus hc over e g square d e g over dt and then we are asked to do the calculation for a gallium arsenide system where the band gap is given and also the temperature variation is given. So the first part can actually be very easily shown so I just describe the working of an LED and said that the wavelength of the light is approximately equal to the band depends upon the band gap of the material. So lambda this is the wavelength of the light is equal to hc over e where e is the energy of the photon this in turn depends upon the energy of the electron and hole that are involved in recombination. This electron and hole is usually very close to the valence band edge and the conduction band edge so that this can be written approximately as hc divided by e g. So usually the electron or the hole is not located exactly at the band edge but there is some thermal energy which is typically of the order of k t but we can ignore the thermal energy and say that lambda is approximately hc over e g. If you look at this expression h and c are essentially constants the only variable is e g.  So we are asked to do this calculation for gallium arsenide gallium arsenide has an e g of 1.42 electron volts this typically lies in the infrared region and the value of d e g or d t is also given 4.5 times 10 to the minus 4 electron volts per kelvin. So we can calculate the change in wavelength with respect to temperature. So d lambda over dt hc square over e g times d e g over dt. Here we can substitute all the values and this gives you a value 0.277 nanometer per kelvin. So if you look at it d e g over dt with respect to temperature is negative which means the band gap essentially decreases with rise in temperature corresponding to a decrease in band gap the wavelength will increase because lambda is inversely proportional to energy. So d lambda with respect to temperature is a positive quantity. So the question also says your delta t is nothing but 10 degrees. So in kelvin this is the same 10 kelvin. So the corresponding change in the wavelength delta lambda is nothing but 2.77 nanometers. So all we are doing is substituting delta t here and then just multiplying. So let us now go to problem 3. So problem 3 relates to a solar cell. So we have a solar cell at room temperature and it is under illumination so the intensity of the light is given. So i is 500 watts per meter square. The short circuit current is also given. So isc is 150 milliamps and also the open circuit voltage voc is 0.53 volts. So the question asks what is the short circuit current and also the open circuit voltage when we double the value of the illumination. So illumination goes from 500 to 1000 watt or 1 kilowatt per meter square. Similarly what are the values when the illumination is essentially halved. So the short circuit current is essentially the current when this voltage is equal to 0 and isc is proportional to the intensity of the light that is falling. So typically it is equal to some constant times iph. So iph if you write the subscript here iph is nothing but the intensity of the photons that is falling onto your solar cell. So isc is essentially some constant k times iph voc which is your open circuit voltage. So this is the voltage when the current through the system is essentially 0 is equal to kt over e ln of iph by is0 where is0 is your reverse saturation current. So this depends upon the material of the solar cell and also the kind of dopants the concentration of the dopants the width of the depletion regions and so on. So we have simple expressions that relate both isc and voc. So the short circuit current and the open circuit voltage to your incident photon radiation. So when you change the radiation intensity you can basically calculate the change in these values. So now the new value of iph is doubled. So let me write this as iph prime. So it is 2 times the original value 1000 watts per meter square. So the new short circuit current so isc nu so I am going to write it as isc prime divided by the original isc it is nothing but iph prime by iph which is equal to 2. Therefore the new short circuit current is essentially the double of the original short circuit current. So this is nothing but 300 milli amperes. Here I can write the value of voc so voc prime by voc again you are taking the ratio of these two quantities kt over e ln of iph prime by is not iph by is not. So kt over e will essentially cancel this we can simplify because the values of iph prime iph are known is not is not known but we can calculate is not by knowing the open circuit voltage when the current intensity is 500 watts per meter square. So from this we can calculate the value of voc. So voc prime is essentially 0.55 volts so we now have a situation where instead of doubling the photon intensity we are reducing it by half. So iph is nothing but 250 watts per meter square so we have reduced it by half so the new short circuit current isc double prime will also be half so this will be 75 milli amps and the new voc so let me write this as double prime is 0.48 volts. So this we can get by following the same procedure where instead of having it as 1000 we now have it as 250. Let me now go to problem 4. Problem 4 is also related to a solar cell so we have a solar cell of area A is given and is connected to drive a load R of 20 ohms so R is essentially 20 ohms. So we can actually draw how the solar cell connection looks so this is given as part of the question so you have the solar cells essentially connected to a resistor so R is the resistor so light falls on the solar cell so you have some light I which drives a current I. So this in turn generates a voltage V that opposes the inbuilt voltage in the solar cell so the intensity of the light is given so that is 1 kilowatt per meter square and we want to calculate the voltage in the circuit when the intensity is 1 kilowatt per meter square the corresponding value of current for that is given. So in the question along with how the solar cell is connected we are also given its IV characteristics so let me plot this this IV characteristic is for 500 watts per meter square so we have current I that is in milli amps and we have voltage V this is 0 we have 10 we have 20 this is 0.2 0.4 let me just extend this a bit and you have 0.6 so the IV characteristics so this is the IV characteristics of the solar cell so this is drawn when the illumination is 500 watts per meter square so we are asked to calculate the current for a particular voltage or the voltage for a particular current when the illumination is now changed to 1000 watts per meter square so we can go to the problem let us go to part A so when a solar cell is essentially driving an external resistor R there is some current that is flowing through so this current at 500 watts per meter square illumination I am going to call this as I 500 so I 500 is given by the intensity of the light plus a voltage due to the potential barrier that is created by the resistor this is given as I0 exponential EV over kT minus 1 so this is a general expression that relates the current at a particular intensity to both the open circuit current the short circuit current and also the voltage when you have some external load are sitting on the system so from the graph we can essentially mark the values of these various points so when V is equal to 0 this is a short circuit voltage the corresponding current I is minus 16.2 milliamps this is nothing but I 500 comma pH and just for simplicity I will write this as I pH so this is the short circuit current you can also calculate or you can also look at the open circuit voltage so that when the current is 0 the voltage is exactly 0.49 volts this is the open circuit voltage the question also says that the device at 500 milliamps or 500 watts per meter square illumination is essentially operating at point P and for this we can calculate the current and the voltage so V is 0.45 volts and the corresponding current I is minus 13.1 milliamps so this represents the operating point for the circuit so we now have to use these to calculate the values when your solar cell is illuminated with 1 kilowatt per meter square so once again let me write the expression so I is equal to minus I pH plus I naught exponential EV over kT minus 1 so I naught we do not know but I pH we know so when voltage V is equal to VOC which implies current is equal to 0 this is minus I pH plus I naught exponential EV OC over kT minus 1 so in this I pH is known VOC is known the only unknown is essentially I naught so we can make the substitutions and I naught is calculated to be 2.58 times 10 to the minus 11 amperes so this represents the reverse saturation current in the system so now the new illumination I nu so let me call it I pH nu so nu illumination is 1000 watts per meter square so in the previous problem we saw that when the illumination is doubled the short circuit current is essentially doubled so I pH nu is 2 times I pH at 500 so this is minus 32.4 milliamps so the corresponding current is also given so I of 1000 is nothing but I pH nu plus I naught exponential EV over kT minus 1 so this current is given and this is equal to 0.024 amperes so I pH nu we have just calculated I naught is something we calculated from the data for 500 watts per meter square so this is known this is known the only unknown is the new operating voltage so we can make the substitutions so that the new voltage V nu is equal to 0.475 volts we can also calculate the power in the system so power is nothing but V prime times the current so the current is I 1000 this is equal to 0.011 watts we are also asked to calculate the efficiency of the system so the input radiation is 1000 watts so P in is 1000 watts per meter square and the area of the solar cell is 1 centimeter square so that is 10 to the minus 4 meter square so this gives you 0.1 watt so 0.1 watt is the input power the output power in the form of electrical current is 0.011 watt so the efficiency in terms of percentage 0.011 divided by 0.1 times 100 that is equal to 11% so let us now go to part B so in part B we are asked to calculate the load so to have a maximum power transfer from the solar cell to the load so once again the illumination I is 1 kilowatt per meter square or 1000 watts per meter square so in problem A we essentially looked at the load for a given value of current and voltage we now have to find out the load at which the power transfer is essentially maximum so power P is nothing but I times V which can be written as V times minus I of 1000 so we have I 1000 plus I0 exponential EV over kT minus 1 so this is the expression for the power you look at it everything here is a constant except for the voltage so to have maximum power so at maximum power dp over dv must be essentially 0 so we can differentiate this expression for P so dp over dv and that is given by I0 kT by E V times exponential EV over kT minus I 1000 plus I0 exponential EV over kT minus 1 this is equal to 0 so this you can get by essentially treating this as the differential of two functions so you differentiate one keeping the other constant then you differentiate the other keeping the first one constant this is now equated to 0 for maximum power so in this case I0 is known I 1000 is known this is the short circuit current at 1000 which is two times the short circuit at 500 and we just calculated it so the only unknown is essentially the voltage so if you solve this this gives the voltage Vm this is the voltage at maximum power and this is equal to 0.436 volts the corresponding current I m is 0.031 milli amps and the resistor R is Vm over I m which is 14.07 so this is essentially the load at which the power is maximum we can also do this for the illumination at 500 watts per meter square so if I is 500 watts per meter square we can repeat this I will just write the answer I m is 0.015 amps Vm is 0.42 volts and the load Rm is essentially 28 ohms so the last part of the question part C so we need to connect solar cells in order to drive a calculator the calculator is to be used at a light intensity of 500 watts per meter square so when we have solar cells each having a particular voltage and they should essentially be connected in order to give the voltage of 3 volts these solar cells should be connected in series so the solar cells should be connected in series so if you look at the initial operating condition that was specified in part a the voltage for each solar cell is 0.48 volts so voltage per cell is 0.48 volts we basically want a total voltage of 3 volts so the number of cells is essentially 3 divided by 0.48 and you round off to the highest integer so this gives you 7 so we need 7 solar cells all connected in series to basically supply enough voltage to run a calculator let us now go to the last problem so problem 5 is related to a photo conductor so we saw some variation of this problem in as the previous assignment assignment 7 so you have a photo conductor that is placed under uniform illumination it says the absorption of light basically causes an increase in current the increase is given when you have a particular voltage then the radiation is cut off so that the excess carriers start to recombine and when that happens the carrier concentration drops and the current also drops so in this particular case we are going to take electrons to be the minority carriers so the increase in current is always due to the increase in the minority carriers this is especially true when we have weak illumination where we assume that the illumination intensity is smaller compared to the concentration of the majority carriers so electrons are the minority carriers and we have also given the electron mobility so mu e to be 3600 centimeter square per volt per second so the first part of the question we need to calculate the equilibrium density of the electron hole pairs generated under radiation so we can write an expression for that so the current I which is your photo current is due to the excess electrons that are created so this is equal to delta n this is the excess electrons times the mobility times the electric charge e of the electron times an electric field e that is applied across the material and since it is the current we have to multiply by the area so this expression is got from the original expression for conductivity conductivity is n e mu e plus p e mu h conductivity sigma is related to the resistivity as 1 over rho and r is nothing but rho l over a so this is 1 over sigma l over a so this is the expression for the current due to the increase in the electron concentration in this particular case ip is given so this value is 2.83 milliamps the electron mobility is given so this should actually be mu e so electron mobility is given the dimensions of the device are given e is the electric field this is nothing but the voltage v divided by the length l so the only unknown in this expression is delta n so delta n is 1.47 times 10 to the 13 per centimeter cube so this is the excess electron whole pair concentration that is created when light is shining part b we want to calculate the minority carrier lifetime so when the light is switched off the concentration of the minority carriers essentially decrease and this is given by the value at a particular time t divided by the minority carrier lifetime tau so since we are dealing with electrons I will call this tau e so you can write this in terms of current and if you do this dip over dt is nothing but e mu e v over l times wd d delta n over dt d delta n over dt is nothing but delta n at time 0 divided by tau e so delta n at time 0 is nothing but what we calculated in part a dip over dt which is the rate at which the current falls is given in the question this value is 23.6 ampere per second so this is known this is known the only unknown is tau e so tau e is essentially 119.6 microseconds part c we want to calculate the excess density of electrons and holes 1 millisecond after the radiation is turned off so part c you want to calculate delta n 1 millisecond later so delta n at time t is nothing but delta n at time t equal to 0 exponential minus t over tau. So t is 1 millisecond delta n at time t equal to 0 is what we calculated in part a so is the excess equilibrium concentration tau is what we calculated in part b so delta n is nothing but 3.44 times 10 to the 9 centimeter cube once again we are assuming a condition of weak illumination so that any change in conductivity is driven by the minority carriers so that in this particular case the change in concentration of the majority carriers which are holes is not significant enough to affect the conductivity.

It's definitely not news to most people to know that Kyrie Irving demanded a trade a very long time ago But what is news to a lot of people is that for me personally if Kyrie Irving is traded before the start of the season And he is traded during the start of the season whenever he is traded I think he will ruin the NBA not in the same way that Kevin Durant ruined the NBA and it's not anything against Kyrie Irving, which is something I want to state personally because Kevin Durant, it was something that he did which ruined the NBA for me and for a lot of people Kyrie Irving won't ruin the NBA by the move that he decided to make It's the fact that the NBA that we are watching and the NBA that we're consumed by is really in a weird stage at the moment I want to touch on the subject of conferences I want to touch on the subject of players and how good they really are in terms of star players Superstar players and all-star level players, which is something that we'll get into in this video But before I start I just want to say that Kyrie Irving most realistically if he were to be traded I think Cleveland would have to look for a young guy to actually get in return for Kyrie Irving But the fact is if you have LeBron James on your team, you're going to want to compete for a championship I mean he is the best player in the NBA Despite not winning the MVP the last couple of years LeBron James if you have him on your team You know that every year he's gonna compete 100% put his body on the line and go and try and win an NBA championship It's simple as that LeBron James. He is that good So if you've got LeBron on your team you're gonna want to compete for a championship So I think there are two realistic teams that Kyrie Irving could be traded to to match both What the Cleveland Cavaliers should do in the future and what they should do now with LeBron James on the team And I think if you're the Cleveland Cavaliers You want to get young players to build around for the future if LeBron James leaves and then if you have LeBron James Which they do you also want to get a star superstar or all-star player in return Which is something I want to touch on as well. So if you're Phoenix I think you're gonna have a very good shot to get a trade down and try and get Kyrie Irving I don't think you're gonna have to give up Devon Booker or you're gonna have to give up Josh Jackson but I do think Eric Bledsoe as that all-star player You're gonna have to give up definitely and then it really comes down to if they want to give up a pick or if they Want to give up a young guy like Marky's Chris or TJ Warren But if I'm Cleveland, I'm definitely just gonna try and go after Josh Jackson or Devon Booker There is probably a zero percent chance that they're gonna get those guys But you might as well try in saying that Miami is also another team that could go after Kyrie Irving Simply for the fact that they can give up someone like Gorin Dracic who is that all-star level player He's not an all-star, but he's that type of player that you can fill in for Kyrie Irving as a replacement He's definitely not a replacement for Kyrie Irving, but you know what I mean He can play that suitable starting position for the Cleveland Cavaliers And then you can also throw in a young place that the Cleveland Cavaliers can build on if LeBron James does decide to leave Maybe Justice Winslow or Josh Richardson someone like that Tyler Johnson There's a lot of young players that Miami could give up the thing is though If he were traded to Phoenix who is in the Western Conference to me It's it just ruins the NBA Not because of the move by Kyrie Irving or the demand for a trade because I do understand why he does want to leave He wants to be the main guy. I do I don't agree with that point of view by him But if I'm Kyrie Irving, I might I might have a different mindset because he's in the NBA and I'm not so I'm not gonna say why Kyrie Irving demanded a trade. I will understand why at times I don't understand why but that's just for him to decide he demanded a trade That's his call But if he does go to the Western Conference the amount of players that have gone to the Western Conference is just Unbelievable this offseason alone if Kyrie Irving does go then you've got him You've got Jimmy Butler Paul Mills out Paul George, which is insane That's four star players or all-star level players that have gone to the Western Conference Making the Eastern Conference even worse not to mention Camilo Anthony He may even join the Houston Rockets, maybe not by the start of the year But maybe at the trade deadline or somewhere through the year he may join the Houston Rockets Which is the main destination that a lot of people think Camilo Anthony will join So for me when you look at the Eastern Conference, who are your star players? You've got LeBron James, Yannis, John Wall who I think are three star players And for those that don't know there needs to be a real Defined line on who star players are in the NBA and a very very long time ago I watched a Dom2k video and he talked about what a star plays what are all-star plays and what a super star plays I'll leave a link to that video in the description box down below if I can find it But that really got me thinking because when you look at the Eastern Conference right now I think you really only have three star players. You've got LeBron James, Yannis, and John Wall Then you've got your Kind of all-star level players when you've got Demarda Rosen, Ky Larry, Isaiah Thomas Who there's gonna be a lot of people that say Isaiah is a star There's gonna be a lot of people that say Isaiah is an all-star to me personally I love Isaiah, but I just don't think he's as good on that level as LeBron, Yannis, and John Wall But in saying that he has shown that he can match up with John Wall at times So that's where it comes into play. It just depends on who you preference as that star player But even then you've got Gordon Hayward I don't think as a star I think if you put him on the Western Conference like last year He's not one of those top-level players. Same with Isaiah Thomas If you had him in the Western Conference, would he really be that star player? And that's where it comes into play as well Then you've got our Hallford and those kind of players they're all-star level players But if that's who you have as your top players in the Eastern Conference Something needs to change because not only does it make the NBA worse, but a team like the Cleveland Cavaliers They won't be competing for a championship without car re-erving in my opinion I mean they might make it to the NBA finals But when you've got the NBA finals like last year with car re-erving and then you transition to this year without car re-erving But the exact same Golden State Warriors team who even possibly got better this off-season Then you're looking at a little bit of a possibly a sweep in my opinion I think the Warriors can possibly sweep the Cleveland Cavaliers if it's exactly the same as last year But without car re-erving and a Golden State team who got even better So with that being said if car re-erving does leave the Cleveland Cavaliers It will ruin the NBA because we know that the Boston Celtics have a very strong team Isaiah Thomas Gordon Hayward our Hallford three all-star players Possibly in the Eastern Conference Then you've got Demarda Rosen and Kyle Larry two all-star players on the same team Then you have LeBron James and his Cleveland Cavaliers who LeBron will lead a Cleveland Cavaliers team But he doesn't have that sidekick anymore of car re-erving and that Leads Kevin Love to have to step up and we don't even know if he can do it But he has shown he can do it in Minnesota So he may be able to do it now that car re-erving may be gone But overall I think if car re-erving does leave the Cleveland Cavaliers It will ruin the NBA because the Eastern Conference has got so much worse the Western Conference has got so much better We know who's gonna make it in the Western Conference most likely it's gonna be the Warriors in the Eastern Conference We don't really know who's gonna make it, but it doesn't matter because if car re-erving leaves I just think that we know who's gonna win the NBA championship if car re-erving stays I do think Cleveland still has that chance to win the NBA championship The only other way I can see this not ruining the NBA for me this season if car re-erving does get traded for a player Of his level someone like maybe an Isaiah Thomas from Boston, but even that is just so so unrealistic It's not unrealistic in the sense of the chance of it happening is unrealistic It's unrealistic in the chance that the Celtics have built this team that they may not want to just Dissolve by getting rid of Isaiah Thomas and getting car re-erving despite who's the better player So for me I just can't see this NBA season being an enjoyable season for me to watch There are games that are gonna be insane But most of those games are gonna be in the Western Conference and most of them aren't gonna be in the Eastern Conference apart from maybe even like Boston vs Cleveland They're the two best teams in the Eastern Conference and if the Cleveland Cavaliers don't have car re-erving and replace him with maybe Goran, Dragico, Eric Bledsoe for me It just doesn't seem that exciting for me to watch But let me know what you guys think down below in the comment section and with that being said I hope you guys enjoyed the video if you guys did it'd be awesome If you guys could leave a like and subscribe to the channel for more videos just like this one also new merchandise is coming out soon So it's looking really really exciting.

Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixtape Craft, thank you for watching today so I've got kind of one big thing to show you today and that is an order that I had done with Tonic Studios. Now I was actually told another crafty friend said to me that Tonic have a clearance section and they've got up to 61% off and the card stock is really good over there. So I have had Tonic card stock in the past so I was already familiar and it is good quality so I knew it was going to be good, however it was 78p for 5 sheets. Now when you look at other companies and you look at 12x12 papers that's a bargain, 78p. So I've got 2 of each so I've got 10 so I've got nice even numbers and I have a huge amount of colours here so I just bring it up on the side, you can see everything I've got there but this is now you know pretty much my card stock for the year. This and with my pattern papers that I've been sharing recently I've just done you know a big kind of restock after Christmas and everything. I go through a lot, I donate stuff, I give stuff to my mum and a lot of the Christmas stuff in that I put stuff away so when you put all this in place of that you know you've got lots of gaps so I'm filling it all up and I will put everything into you know kind of rainbow order so I can see everything and yeah I'm really pleased with all this so it's 216gsm but once you add your mats and layers it's perfect so you know it's great for your gift bags and boxes and your card so it's an all-round very good card stock so I am going to just flick through the colours excuse the glare I don't really want to take everything out of the packaging but I've got if I can see where it says the colours on these I don't know oh yeah there we go so we've got this is cherry red so I've got two of those then I've got navy blue this is a ivory white and it's a weave textured again these are all 78p each and it's still all on there this is Arctic blue love that one and then you've got your blossom pink I mean they're they just scream baby shower and then I have this one is ballet pink really nice then we've got pistachio green I did have I think it was it was a certain red one and the email me to say that that had sold out there was no more left but I've got other one here this is buttermilk yellow really lovely fresh yellow there this is ocean blue then I have raspberry pink coral pink oyster grey but this way you know I've got papers card stocks that's going to match every single you know one of my pattern paper pads so it's it's nice when you can get things to match up well excuse the the pink there I was doing some lipstick swatches and it's stained I brought a lip stain so at least I know it is going to stain because I can't get off my hand and then I've got fuchsia pink or bejean purple love this one amber yellow really really nice marigold yellow spearmint green love the names brick red rose pink I've got a black this is the jet black because you know some blacks are more gray so it's you know good to that one is a black black and then fern green love that one it's gonna good Christmas green and that was it I think it was a Christmas red so I remember thinking all the Christmas green color and then yeah but they didn't have that one in the end and then two blues here so I've got this is corn flower blue I love corn flower blue and then teal blue so yeah I've got a really nice considering this is my bread and butter this is what I need for every single tutorial for everything I do I need cardstock so to have sorry I lost my focus a little bit there's pop it back down to have all of that I just thought was really good so I had to also put some other things in my basket so but it's another bargain and that is these so these are still on there at the moment and they are they were 1599 down to 499 that I can get into them now these are the other ones the little snips I've got and these are dress making ones and they can be used for your card making but I am at the moment I'm starting to make some quilts and some other soft furnishings and my my older fabric scissors are these ones which I could still use but I have been very naughty and use them back on paper again so these ones are just going to stay there now but I've got these ones which are going in a completely different section and they will be kept for that but for 499 from 16 I thought was really really good and they've got these ones I think are still on there I think they've gone down as well so there's quite a few but they are again you know that they're made well titanium coated blades double double a beveled blades it's a mouthful titanium dressmaker shears and they got the kush grip which is this one here which make your hands smile they are comfortable I'll give them that they are so yeah they are 9.5 inches 24 centimeters if you want the measurements so I thought that was good and then I had a little look at their stamps these one well they were still reduced let me just get the right ones they were 17.99 down to 9 pound each that that isn't I know that's still you know I think it's still quite high for stamps but I do love these kind of ones and they're just going to be so good for my friends children and things I just I love that you can change their little outfit so they look like they're all the same but they're not so this one here you've got that is celebrate life celebrate success and celebrate friendship so you've got your little pig your little chick your sheep and your cow this is a rabbit bear a cat and a dog and then here you've got your owl your fox your deer and maybe that's the fox and that's the badger yeah because he's got a bit of a striped towel or I guess it could be I'm gonna say it's a badger yeah it's not a skunk but you've got all these little totes stores little satchel school satchel pens little hats and you can change their little outfits on them I think they're brilliant so I know I'm going to use them and we've got the nice cake there here you've got the little toad look little shorts got the little water and can little chick the little picket fence there's them the pumpkin there so again these are going to work for other seasons and I have lots of like other stamps which are Christmas ones with like maybe a Christmas hat or last week I shared those little Christmas hat stickers it's these kind of images that you can add them on to so you can you can turn these into Christmas stamps as well you know put a Merry Christmas sentiment or you know a Thanksgiving one with the pumpkins or Halloween you know you can you can certainly pull bits from stamps and kind of mix them up and stuff but this one here I love the globe there as well on the paintbrush and you've got the little graduation cap I just think they're really cute so they were a bit more that was a splurge really because that for those three it's you know almost as what I paid there on the card stock but yeah I am pleased with what I got there so that was that and I've got one little charity shop thing which is these which is an absolute bargain because I believe there was a load of craft buddy branded stock and there's this particular charity shop in town has quite a nice craft area some of it they have priced too high and some of it's very very old craft stuff but there was these in there and I've seen these being shown on creating craft under craft buddy I can't remember the name that they used and let me just take it all out of packaging because I will sort these all out now so basically what you do here you have your I guess the stem or like the the kind of fixing for the flowers to kind of build on and then these bits here I think that one goes underneath and that one goes I need to watch a video and they're the leaves but basically all of these you have well just in that one bag the 70 of that particular petal you've got 35 of that one they are just like squashed together but if you can see there when you peel it all apart you see all of them there's absolute tons and you build up the flowers and you can make beautiful ones there you got 240 pieces there's absolute tons and it was two pound for each bag so I've paid four pound for all of this and there are hundreds and hundreds of flowers 80 in that one 70 70 70 they did have a few more as well but basically what you do I mean I'm just kind of guessing it I'm well I have seen it but I now we've got it in front of me I can't quite remember exactly what to do but I will have a look they're all fabric but they're great for just doing his little embellishments but also for that envelope cars that so many of you are making you're doing some really gorgeous ones so I'm just gonna get that one and I think you need 175 of these so I think is it something like you do that and then that will shape the flower but you can obviously layer up different ones there is a tool that I've seen them use as well to push them all on but I'm gonna make do I've only paid four pound for this so I don't want to or maybe I know I know what you do I think you do that and then like layer them up ah yeah that's right and then that will shape it at the end you see and you'll start to get like her carnation for example that's what I think they can give you different effects I said I'm gonna look and I'm sure some people watching now I've already got it and I will work out exactly how they are made so yeah don't worry but it's something like that but also what I thought I mean you can just see how that's starting to come together I thought it'd be nice and there's the leaves I mean I don't know whether I like the grill that's all I know that was a bit dodgy there maybe they were take out some others maybe some of them as seconds a little bit because that looks all look a little bit suspicious there that doesn't look great I'm not too worried about the leaves because I probably add my own die cut leaves yeah they all look a bit misshapen actually but then I guess it doesn't matter too much that's I don't know if they should be that stiff or not who knows they might have been in an environment I don't know where it was a bit warm where the heat was a bit dodgy let me just put that underneath you can see there how you kind of get the leaves and stuff but I'll probably use my own die cuts but what I also thought is that you can build the flower up just flat stick it on a card and put a nice you know gemstone in the middle there so yeah I love my flowers I love all these kind of things and they would have come in handy for that envelope card but now I've got them now I love this one here yeah because I think the bigger kind of caps there will give you another look again so let's have a little I'm gonna go on to the craft buddy website and see let's put that one in there and then do that one yeah see that gives a different effect doesn't bring them in as close and obviously you need to put a lot more in there and I imagine there are like stamen ones you know the details and stuff you can get to be honest there was a lot in there but I had my hands full and you know it was near the end of the day so but I don't know I think they're gonna look really cool I'm gonna have a play around with them but like I said even if I don't use these all the time I think these look really pretty to just layer up add your own die cut kind of leaves behind them put a nice embellishment inside them because they're so soft they will lie nice and flat so it makes it easy to post as well things like this are gonna be better on like maybe a gift tag or the top on a gift box or something something that maybe you know isn't gonna get crushed in postage but yeah I thought they were really really good like I said there's so many here and look at those ones they're like blue with the green these I love I think they're gonna make really nice carnations when they're layered up let's just shove a let me just do three I'll just speed this up just so you're not bored there's a five of those ones and if you push that up underneath and then I think you might add the lip but look at that cool and I imagine you could maybe put these over so it covers it like so I need to have a better look but I know when I remember watching it on creating craft not that long ago this year I thought they look really good like some of them look so beautiful when you've got a lot of them you know in a vase or if you're doing you know I don't know just some decor at home decor you know on like a shadow box frame or something so yeah there it is anyway so I'm gonna have a good play around with that like I said look up some videos of making these up and yeah see what I can do with them these ones here I imagine you could color as well with like your inks and stuff and there I mean look there's just absolutely tons of them all on top of it so the white ones are actually really nice and that orange there they're gonna beautiful as well so yeah I'm really pleased that for four pound I think it's really good okay so that is everything and I will not be sharing any more cardstock for a long time unless it's what I've been given then that's different but in terms of what I'm purchasing this is it no more and yeah I love the stamps they're just really cute and again the things that that they just don't date you can keep them all the time and my scissors you won't really see these but I'm really pleased with them so yeah but you will see the flowers because I'm gonna be using them on things no doubt and I'm probably gonna make quite a few up once I've kind of figured it out I'll probably make a lot up and I've got some really nice glass jars I like to keep everything in because I like things displayed and I like them in things I can see through so then my room inspires me when I walk into my room I look around I think you know what I've not used them for a long time let's create something with that so that's why I like to see everything so this is gonna be nice and colorful and we'll brighten it up even more so yeah that's everything I will link all of this because there is you know still a lot there and like I said click on that clearance and you'll be able to find some yeah hopefully some cool things maybe even get these scissors as well because you can use these paper there's no no issues at all there but yeah I just wanted some that are never gonna be used on paper so anyway thank you for watching and I'll be back again soon with another video bye
