Distinguished guests, colleagues, and friends, welcome to the Global Diaspora Summit 2022. IOM is so thrilled to co-host this unique event with the government of Ireland, a country with a long… Hello to all of you from the government of Ireland, and also the help of the community in the communities, and that there are about 17 million people involved, and there are also participation from the government of Ireland and also the vision of this event, and also what happened in the past, and the development of the community, which we gathered in Geneva, and a lot of events happened, and the light was lighted up by the volunteers in the community, especially in the volunteers' agendas, and also the contribution of the international community to the special event, the non-governmental migration, and also the creation of the participation of the volunteers, and for this reason, I am presenting the event of the activities, and also the activities to help the trust and relationships instead of the participation, and also the support of the volunteers according to their needs, and also the support of the volunteers and the volunteers. The event is a very important and very difficult one, and it is an important event for the community, especially after the event, and the events are held, and it is very important. We are very much looking forward to the dangers of travel and the dangerous situations such as immigration and trade with humans. This is not only for the sake of their lives and their lives, but it is also our responsibility to help them. If they are there with them, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, their help is very important, especially for the people in this area, especially those who are sick, sick, and who are working in this field. We are also looking forward to playing a very important role in the situation that took place in Ukraine. It is not just about increasing the number of people and the technical expertise, but it is also about the IOM, the International Health Organization, that will enter the state of Ukraine. Thank you to all the participants in this event and to the participants, especially those who are working in Ukraine. They are not leaving Ukraine because there are many people who have to follow us. These are the people who help us and help us with many things, such as language and other services. We have three very important days of participation in the lectures and the studies of the participants. We also have specific ways to build a relationship with the students, especially the political and strategic participation, and the responsibilities on the real world. We are sure that all the results and the evidence that we follow, especially in our lectures, and our meetings, and our meetings, are also for the first international return in this field, which is just a previous meeting, and this is a rare opportunity, which should be for the visitors and their voices for the IOMRF. I wish you, especially the first international return, and I wish you a happy new year. Thank you very much. Hello to all of you in Dublin. I am very proud to be here with you, and to be responsible here, especially in the international community. This is a very important step, especially for the dangerous things that are happening to the visitors, especially the special events, and the change in the environment, and to address these challenges. There is a lot of support for the visitors, and for the activities, and also for the people who live in the West, and in their countries, and in the working countries. We also hope that we will return to the public, so that the places where they live, and the places where they make their new places, and their new countries, and also through the countries, through the borders, and especially through the regions. There are a lot of things happening, especially today in Ukraine, that there is a lot of support for the visitors, and I think that this is a conference, and I will contribute to the help of the visitors, and I wish you a happy new year, in your conversation, and your participation in the coming days. Thank you very much. Thank you to everyone, good morning. I am happy to be here with you, and these sessions, and also the human resources in the areas, and I wish you the best, and also especially the human resources in the areas, and we have a big drink to have with us, Mr. Bashir, and the importance of this session, and also I am happy to hear from the participants in this issue, and there is a lot of great evidence, there are a lot of things happening to the visitors, there are developments, especially financial assistance, and also there are a lot of financial things, especially the help of the community, and the help of the visitors, and we saw these things, especially in the community of the visitors, with a lot of services during the COVID-19 period, and also there are a lot of great benefits for the human resources, and the building, and new strategies for the way forward in the changes that are taking place in this issue, and also I think that these discussions are very important, not only for the Syrian people, but also for the human resources of the visitors, and also there are new ways forward, and this will open a new way for us to cooperate, so this is just a brief introduction to our discussion, but also our reporters and our experts will talk about this issue in different details, first of all in this session, first of all there are initiatives, and there are a lot of questions in the chat box, and there is also a translation in the six Arabic, French and Spanish languages, and also other languages that you can find in the resources that are in front of you, in the Zoom, and also I would be very happy if you could talk to us with a close-up of the sound, if you don't mind, and also when we get to the last minute, I would like for the questions to be very brief in order for the participants to listen to you, and finally try to be able to share with us your opinions and your experiences, this is very important for this meeting, and that's why I'm going to stop here. What I want to do is to introduce you to the first speaker, Hediko Mingo Hediko, and she is working on the human sector, especially to support the participants in this sector, and she is also responsible for the meeting, and she is also one of the civil society organizations, and she has participated in many things, she has participated in training and training, and this is very important in many things, especially in human affairs, and in the environmental system, and training and training, and I am sure that there is a great interest in human life, especially in the past and now, and that is why I would like to introduce you to Mingo. Thank you Bashir. Thank you Bashir and everyone for welcoming me. I am very proud to have spoken to you today, and there are many things related, especially in the past, the participants and the meetings, especially the environmental response in this sector, and I would also like to hear from you about your discussions today, and I am sure that you know that COVID is a very big role, especially in a lot of things, in the participation of the participants, and I will not only talk about COVID-19 and the issues, but I would like to share with you the studies of Mustafaadah and the other issues. I have been in a number of meetings with him, especially in the past years, and I would like to share that with you. Bashir, are you seeing? Bashir, are you seeing this? Yes, I see that. Thank you very much. So, here we have this topic. Yes, when I started working with this topic, the participants participated in it in 2017, and especially the last topic in 2015, the meetings, and the participants did not hear about it, especially in the human sector, and especially in the development sector, it has become more of a historical force. So, one of these special things in the human sector, and those who are not, and those who are not, are playing a very big role. When I talk about the special value, and especially the participation in this issue, and especially that they are responsible for asking me, why do you work in this field, and why do you work in this field? No, this is a mistake in terms of what we do, in terms of value, but it should be patient and patient in this field in order to continue in our work in this environment, and this difficult situation, and especially when I started, because we all know that there was a special system, and we had to look at this issue in a very large way, and to include other aspects in this field, and we saw a lot of very important things, that all of us participated in this issue, I started working in this field, and I looked at how to support and increase the number of people, and played a very important role in the first approach, in this issue, and it was a very important journey, an easy experience, and I want to share with you what I think about it, in terms of success. We didn't go far on this issue, but we will continue in our work, and I will talk about things, especially the support of the educational programs, and especially the creation of decisions, and the creation of policies, and also the support of more programs, especially during the previous series, I did a lot in this issue, and personally, I didn't see anything wrong in this issue, if you know who you are, and what is your role, and how do you play this role towards this issue, it is the most important thing, I don't know about your role, because it is a complicated matter, so there are a lot of sources, that do not present the issue, and what are the concerns of the volunteers, we have been involved in this issue, about the needs of the volunteers, and their demands, and the demands of all the matters, and especially, we should have the power and responsibility for the organizations that we work with, and the organizations that work with us, especially among the largest volunteers, and we have also been involved in the experience, and the power, and especially in the human system, and especially among the pharaohs, and the zoomalal, organizations that we work with each other, in this system, all of them, and all of them, they have the power and the responsibility, and the experience, especially for the volunteers, and we have been involved in the issues, especially with the organization, and it is very important in this issue, and there are other things, and other ideas, according to the personal experience, that they will continue to participate in the game, especially the technical support, it is not enough to succeed in participating in this issue, especially from a different point of view, or not having any participation in the issue of the volunteers, but this is very important, and this is a very important issue, it should be, of course, our own, and our own, and it should also be clear, and the things that we can do, and the things that we cannot do, and especially the volunteers, and the volunteers, and even more so, the people who provide the services, especially in the human services, and the volunteers, and the volunteers, and the people who are affected by the volunteers, so there is a lot of confidence in this issue, and we have to know what we are learning, and we have a great desire for how, and why, and when we respond, and we have to understand, and this is very important for the dynamic, because all of us are different, all of us are different, and all of us are different, and in any work that we do with the volunteers and volunteers, and the volunteers, and I also think this is important, and I think it is very important for us to stay on the remote side, because the short side is currently very far away, and we have to be on the remote side, and the long side, and we have to be aware, and honest about this issue, and this is very important, because there is also a very large amount of support for the volunteers who provide the services, and there is also a very large amount of assistance, so this does not mean that there is support for us, very large amounts of participation, and what we see is also according to the needs of the participation, to be the best and the best, and there are a lot of things, we had 28 volunteers with volunteers, volunteers in Ukraine, for the volunteers, for the volunteers, and for the volunteers, and for the volunteers, this issue is more important, and because they feel that they are part of these networks to respond to the humanitarian assistance, and there is also an essential point in these five points that I mentioned, that comes from both sides, for us to do the same thing, to make sure and understand the context, and to know our surroundings, and our relationships with those who work with us in this system and this sector, because this system and sector is also very diverse, and very standard, and especially that they are part of the network, that they are trying to find something new, and they deserve respect and trust, especially the responsibility, or the question, and there is also another work that I did not see, and it is a very large number, especially in the field of politics, some of which are done on the right track, and some are not done on the right track, especially in the field of environmental systems, and also one of the things, especially in the field of, I think that any cooperation should be strategic, and we should be waiting for the help, especially towards distribution, and we should be supporting the students and the students, and this depends on their work and their respect, and we should also be thinking about the distance, and we should also be knowing how we can support them, and we should be participating in this, and also knowing what is written in this field, what they will do, or what they will do in their country, and also we should be following it, to that there are some organizations that are participating, and also these things are coming up with a lot of information, but there is a lot of danger that it will become, and also there will be difficulties for all the participants in this field, or the cooperation with them, and we have seen a lot of things, especially in the field of politics and the future countries, and in the field of politics, they are trying to put the tourists in a very difficult situation, and this should be considered because we are going to be successful, and it should be a cooperation with the road, and respect, and friendship, for the help that we have in the streets and the students, and this is of course the topic, is there more time, and there are other resources behind our work, so coming from a human rights organization, I think it is of the image of the internet, especially in the field of some specific things, the solution to the problems, and especially a very different topic, and also the needs of the pragmatists are very important, and I think it is a very important thing for the students, and I think it is important that we know their roles, especially those who are in the field of local affairs, and know the obstacles, and especially the things that we do not know, because there are some organizations that will participate in the issues, and especially from the outside, and be part of the environmental system, but they do not live in the same country, and they do not know many things, so we have to understand this very well, and I always ask myself, and tell myself, that personal help is not a competition, it should be a personal help, and the help of the people first and finally, and it should also be taken into account in a very big way, and I always remember that, and there are other stories, and some other moments, that I am very grateful to all the people who participated in this issue, especially the people who participated in the work with them, especially in the past, and the issues that have been discussed, I would like to thank you very much, because you have remained in this work, and the creation of inspiration in this issue. Thank you very much for this, and for this work that you have done with it, this is a place on my side, thank you very much, thank you very much, and I think that we have other points that have been discussed, but we also have this opportunity to talk about it, and there are also special things about cooperation, and that is why I am going to the second lecture, and I would like to welcome Mr. Mohamed Bashir Othman, he is also a very big and young person, and he also works in Somalia, and especially in the institutions for design matters, and especially in the media, and in the field of work, and he is also the president of the institutions, and he also works in the organizations in Somalia, Othman, and he is very much aware of the graphic design, and also other artistic matters, and he graduated from the university of the beautiful art academy, and also Othman's institutions, he is also one of the famous people in Somalia, and he is also one of the young people who work very hard in 2020, and I am happy to be with Mr. Othman, and to learn from the experiences you have, and the experiences you have, and to love Mr. Othman. Thank you Bashir, thank you, and I hope you will listen to me, and it is a great opportunity for me, and I am happy to be with you in the international community and also I am Mr. Mohamed Bashir, and also I am working in Norway, and in Orange, and also this means that it is the orange house in the English language, and also the main thing here, for two words, the word house is orange, meaning orange, and orange means the color of the Netherlands, so this is what we call orange house, and also it means the organization of the volunteers and the volunteers who participate in the communication in the Somali community, and the Netherlands, and it started in 2016, with a very small group of Somal youth, and Orange also helped with many things, such as the management of commercial work, and other matters in Somal, and economic, and political, and social, and Orange house, or wherever I am, the moment has come for the Somal and the Netherlands, but we have been working on the information, and the experiences, especially with different organizations, and those who are looking for information for investment, and the opportunity to invest in the management of the work, and also many other things, different with the Orange Foundation, there is a platform, especially the information in Somalia, which is increasing information, and different about how the Somali community and the population in Somalia, and also we have been providing very different information to various fields, from the life of information to the acquisition, and also the job opportunities in Somalia, and we have been supporting and developing the commercial work, and also helping the markets, especially between the organizations, and we have been organizing different meetings, and various opportunities for the work, and the management of the work for many things, very economic and social, and also we have been using the German Dutch, especially between the Netherlands and Somalia, and also we have been doing a lot of work, and we have been working closely, especially from the economic side, between Somalia and the Netherlands, and also we have seen in the last four years, that there are very clear participation, and also especially that there are a few organizations, and a lot of organizations, in the field of commercial and commercial work, and there are also meetings for the future countries, especially for those from the Mancha countries, and also to try to connect these two countries to the Mancha countries, and the Moussadeef countries, and the work between the Netherlands and Somalia, and our participation is not only about the work, and your work, but also we focus on the social matters, and the other important matters. There are other matters for us to follow, especially for the Somali countries, and other matters, that almost 50 Europeans were consulted for the next year. Netherlands became the top country, the Netherlands became the top country, the first country with 21% participation, and the first Moussadeef center where the European companies actually had their mining in Sudan, and therefore there were Europeans, Somalians, or other countries, but we also went back to Somalia to be the first Moussadeef, and to be the third Moussadeef, and to be the first Moussadeef, and to be the first Moussadeef, especially for the Netherlands, and also to be the first Moussadeef, and thank you very much for your participation. Thank you, Mohamed, for the opportunity to talk to you, and for the first Moussadeef, and for the photo with you, and I think this is a great opportunity for you. Thank you very much for your question. I have many questions, but I would like to ask a question to any speakers about this topic, especially regarding politics, and the human work. I'd like to ask you some questions here. We have a question from Martin Russell. Martin, you're welcome. Thank you. I sure know my accent is very good. It's great to be here, and it's great to see you. It's great to be here, and it's great to see you. Let's talk about the importance of this work. I remember talking to some people who had come home during this time, and at the time they had come back from London, where they had these bus stops, where they tell you that the next bus will be in 1050. The Irish person was whenever it comes. He said it's quite often that the next bus comes. Do you see things getting done in countries of residence, or residents? I'm trying to give you that. I'm trying to give you that. The diaspora will have a sense of what's appropriate, but quite often linking that with thought. My question is, again, for Lea, from the conversation, I'm going to show you the importance of this work. There's always a question. Is there a difference? What I'm going to show you is that I'm going to hear three questions or comments, and then we'll talk about the discussion. Do you have any other questions? I have a lot of questions, and I think it's also related to politics, or the countries that were forced to be on the rise of the humanitarian action. How could they be on the rise of the humanitarian action? How could they be on the rise of the humanitarian action? How could they be on the rise of the humanitarian action? I'm going to jump in on that. I'm sorry, I had a quick question. Do you have any other questions? Do you have any other questions? The question is, for Martin, in the comments, what does that kind of... I can start if that's fine. Just some general reflection. The cultural sensitivity side. I can start if that's fine. Just some general reflection. The cultural sensitivity side. Is there a difference? The question is, is there any difference and the support that we need to be in the first and final positions as a local level, whether or not it has to be a kind of an attention-pointing so it's not possible to be the focus of what I'm talking about. I think I'm going for everyone. And obviously, I'm going for everyone. And obviously, I'm going for everyone. During your work, I'm definitely going for everyone. And obviously that's solid from that angle that is good news because I think we're always fronted. It's just important that people continue to support these two positions and the longer term lens for the need for a goodwill we see, We see, I think, to certain extent, that we can buy itself from first, okay, now we have a nature of nexus actors to stay in that camp, so that it is responding now, having to meet him again. After that, he will be able to change, and then he will be able to help with whatever he can, and to offer the same to those who are in need. The situation is very different, and that is how it is, and there is also the direct help. How will it benefit them, and how will it reach the best possible? And that goes for all of us, that goes for civil society engagement, volunteer engagement at large. So I think those are some of the questions. Thank you very much for the example of Somalia. Like Somalia, we have been following Somali's cult this late. I think there are more, maybe more, from the issue of Somalia, and I gave you as I mentioned before, who is from Somalia, and who is from the local community, it has affected you on the Somali today, in the past. We can say that there are many movements of Somalia in Somalia, and not from politics, because it is considered that Somalia, in its talks, in the form of politics. You have seen in the past that he is from Somalia, and since more than three years ago, there has been a visit to Somalia, but you see that the people, when they came back to Somalia, they had been taken to the federal institutions, or from the tribal institutions, which have been much more than the events, the first events, but to organize the events on the national and national level, all of which have not succeeded in these events, and we see that it is usually the return to Somalia, and all that is there, any problem, in Somalia, it is return to Somalia, and it is difficult, and you see huge competitions from the past, but on the national level, these policies are not present. All of the policies that are being targeted in Somalia, but what we saw is that the government in Somalia is contributing to the return to the country, and it is also contributing to the return to the country, and it is also contributing to the country in a difficult situation to finish. Thank you Mohamed for this important point of discussion about the business aspect of the subject. I'll be following up on the questions and comments, then we'll come back to the speakers, George Tafadal, between the local and the state. That's a great divide between the local and the state. What I'm saying is that this divide is not clear. When it comes to human life, I think that this is a background for you, I think that Muhammad might have said that there is also a connection between those who are in the human field and those who are in the field of work and therefore those who work in the private sector through different groups of civil society in different sectors. And in the same way, there are different types of information, local information that helps the local information as well. And in the same way, in this follow-up, I think that my final question is, are there different types of information or even who operate in the private sector? The ratio that the country makes, what is the added value for this person who is used to being the only person who knows the country? And therefore, what kind of work does the person do which is simply the human framework? And my final question is, what is the added value for this particular company of this specific company carried out as a whole? I should have actually asked everyone who thought that I was on the subject and in the third year, we held the development workshops. The first half was in 2015, then in 2017, then in 2019, and with the start of 2018, we set up a policy to manage our tools with the management of 3 levels, the general management of sprues and tools, and the general management of hearing aids that support the treatment of blood. For us, Kachalia is related to the financial resources for the most effective projects, and the demands of the professionals in the management or the private sector. We are working on a variety of these technologies and at the same time we have projects that are specifically for the active system that will make it possible for the tools to be on the same level with us forever. And we will be happy to discover that it is also on the level of European Union. If we have worked on it, we will be happy to know. If these messages will be heard, we will be happy to know that this is all we have when it comes to what we have done on the level of the active system. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.


So now we come in this video to the class equation. Now the class equation is very difficult by the course by the way in which we write it. And I always find it difficult because you have to think of something inside of something inside of something inside of something inside of something and you've got the help on that side. But the concept itself is very easy. If you have a group let's have a group. The first part of the group might just be the center of the group. So that's all the elements with that commute. And that center, if I choose any element in the center and I make a conjugacy class of that, of course that element is going to be the only one in that conjugacy class. So I can have all the elements in this little, now all the elements that are in the center they're going to make their own little conjugacy class. Now I'm left with all the elements outside of that and if I choose one of them, one of them I can make another conjugacy class and I can make another conjugacy class and another one. So if we talk about finite groups, if we talk about finite groups we say that the order of the group or the number of elements in that group I can do that as the sum of the following. So that is going to be the order of the center so that each of these plus the order of each of these conjugacy classes. So how many are in there? Remember we showed that these are all this joint. So the number in there, the number in there, the number in there, the number in there and if it's all finite, if I add all of those that must just equal all the elements that were in the group. So that's, I mean that's fairly simple and that just makes a lot of sense. It's the way in which we write this that is horrendous. We say that it's the order of the center plus the sum of the index of all the centralizes of the element in the group. So the index, the index of the centralize of the element in the group, in the group of the group, the index. Remember the index we wrote it like this from orbit. So where do we start? Let's just start, so I'll show you how to deconstruct this awful thing because that is just a fancy way of saying all of that. So I start with g and I say g equals the center of that center of the group or the elements there and then all these conjugacy classes by some other element g1 in there, the conjugacy class of g1, the conjugacy class of g2 until all the way to n. How many of these there are anyway? So if I were just to look at the order of g, if I were just to look at the order of g that would be the order of the center of g, as we see there, each of the conjugacy classes and then I'm going to have the sum of vehicles 1 to n, all of these n of the order of each of these gis. So I'm going to take how many elements are in that conjugacy class, how many in that conjugacy class, how many in that conjugacy class. But remember these conjugacy classes, remember we can just see them as the orbit of A, so the orbit of gi in this instance. But let's take to the orbit of A, remember we said that the order of the orbit of A we can write as the index of the stabilizer of A in G. So the index of the stabilizer of A in G in G and that's how we wrote it, this index format. Remember from that video. So and just to remind you of what this stabilizer of A in G is, the stabilizer remember that is where the group action on the elements, now remember this is even more complex because A is just our set that makes up the group but we just end up with the same thing. So instead of the orbit of A we're talking about the orbit of all these gis, so that is just going to be the index of the stabilizer of gi in G, this index of this in G. Now I just want to remind you of this stabilizer or at least stabilize this this index of this stabilizer and the way that we wrote that is remember we are dealing with group action but this is conjugacy so I run through all my gis and I act on it and I conjugate it like that and I end up with just with a gi. Remember that, now think back of that video again, this is nothing other than the centralizer of the gi in G, this. So I can replace this there with this, this is nothing other. So look at those old videos, look at your notes and just see that these things are as we defined all of these and that is why we can bring the centralizer of gi in G, the centralizer of gi in G and the index in G that is the index in G. So that is nothing other than just counting up all of these elements, counting up all of these elements. So this would have been a lovely way to write it but in the books you might see it written as this which is this complicated thing because this centralizer can be written as this, this is nothing other than coming into the index which is nothing other than the order of the orbit of gi and that is nothing other, the orbit is nothing other than that and remember the conjugacy class is nothing other than the orbit. So the order of the conjugacy class equals the order of the orbit of that element. So you just have to all the definitions we've had before and realizing you know what that this is, oh I've seen this before that is the centralizer of gi in G or you know as we had of A in G. You just got to realize or just got to recognize you know what all of these are for and if you work it back you get to this very difficult looking class equation but I think it's more important just to remember that if we have the conjugacy classes that make up the center and the order of all the other conjugacy classes we add that all together we get the order of the finite group and it's got to be finite.


Hi you guys welcome back to a first impression review video. This is where I take a look at an entire collection from a sewing pattern designer and I review each and every pattern that they offer. Today is an indie version where I'm looking at an independent pattern designer. This is Sycamore Road patterns. I couldn't figure out where in the world she's from. Her site as you'll see the patterns are sold in euros so that narrows it down a little bit but not specifically but but I did enjoy reading her about me section. This is Alice Alexandra. Yep and this little page she talks about her journey to becoming a sewing pattern designer. I think it's very similar to a journey we've all been on before but basically she was obsessed with fashion obsessed with clothes buying buying buying buying buying and realized that she was buying way way too much so she started to change the way that she lived and changed the way that she viewed fashion. She started to buy more vintage and be more thoughtful with the clothes that she was buying but she was struggling and and being able to afford sustainable fashion you know it's very expensive to buy ready to wear sustainable fashion and that's when she realized oh I can just sew it myself so she learned how to sew and then but again she was still struggling because she couldn't find the sewing patterns that matched her personal style so she started to create them herself. Now I love that she does include in her about me that she's the designer she's not the pattern maker she is outsourced that she's hired a professional so she does know sewing she knows fashion she knows what she likes she has her own point of view and so she can express that to a professional pattern maker and they are the ones who draft her patterns for her. She's size inclusive and all of our patterns are tested exhaustively she says by people of all sizes so with all of that in mind let's take a look at Alexandra's collection it's small but mighty right I think we are going to be able to get an idea of her personal style as we go through this and I think it's really kind of a fun one um this is her most recent release uh this month or last month she released the juniper wrap top 13 and a half euros uh wrap top with statement sleeves is is what it is in a nutshell crop to design which is ideal for pairing with high-waisted pants or skirts sleeves feature an interesting an interesting construction method they are double layered which makes them extra poofy so they're like basically lined um and most of the seams are enclosed on the inside again lined but I think it's self lining so I don't know in the industry that's like a different term than lining whenever you line it with the same fabric as the main I'm not sure how the what the fashion dictionary would say about that but this sounds basically like they're lined um they have a channel for the elastic neckline is bias bound um features bust starts for shaping size inclusivity I mentioned already um the design details are the same but plus size has a bit of a different fit I love this sizes a through h that's straight sizes are are drafted for a two inch difference so a b cup between upper and full bust and then sizes I through O are drafted for a five inch difference so that's a b c d e an e cup between upper and full bust measurements and then if you're in between those you can do a full bust or a small bust in addition to that all right so here are the photos and then I hope some where's did you separate place for a size chart hopefully it's at the end of this oh the photos the photos are going to get me every single time on these indie websites I would like for the record maybe when I was watching this and thinking about starting their own um website for sewing patterns when you click the zoom I would like for the picture to appear as a separate like pop-up kind of thing and then I'd like to be able from there to click through them okay just putting my two cents out there uh but yeah you can see it is sort of the bodice a very straightforward wrap top wraps are great for people of different sizes because you can adjust the size essentially at the waist so all you need to fit for is the bust and then she mentioned the very full sleeve I love that she thought of the fullness because sometimes it can get it kind of droopy but having that lined element really helps them stand away from the body gives it the fabric more structure no matter what fabric you're using and then this is the elastic channel and then a big frilly frill frill on the end there here's the back I do wish I think it would be hysterical if someone called me and said you have so many opinions about pattern design nurse websites from looking at so many of them we want your input on our website so that we can make it the most user-friendly it can possibly be I have opinions about almost every aspect of a website it doesn't just stop with the photos but yeah lots of really pretty pictures here as you can see I also think this is Alexandra I'm pretty pretty sure the same girl from the other photo right lots of pictures okay here is the size guide plus size starts at I okay so we have a I'm sure I'm assuming this is the body measurement chart so a bust of 30 inches 30 and a third up to 57 and a half this is great the hip measurements for her 35 inches up to 65 up to 65 so that's really really that's one of the more science inclusive pattern companies I've ever seen a lot of them stop with the hip around 60 61 maybe 65 is that's great okay good then those are the fabric requirements for the pattern and that's all we're going to get on each listing okay I do love that short simple sweet to the point you know there's not a lot of like there you know how sometimes and it's cute I get you're trying to add personality to your website but they're like you know for the perfect days of frolicking on the beach with your pelican and your you know your spritzer and it's like okay I'm going to decide how and where I'm going to wear this top just get to the point like what is it going to have okay so this is the camera and wrap dress same price as the top it is also a wrap so versatile dress design unique twist on the classic wrap dress three darts in the front panels to shape the fabric around the bus to avoid excess fabric bunching up too much has a kimono style collar which I think is just a band which is curved so it lays flat on the neckline beautiful and features two sleeve links and two skirt links view a is regular straight sleeve view b is gathered sleeve with a cuff that ties into a bow flirty fun playful twist several options and then you'll find pattern pieces for these there are several options included in this pattern to tailor it to your taste you'll find pattern pieces for these options in the pattern hack files what that's kind of cool that's similar to what seam work does with their um like if you're a member there and you buy the pattern you have access to the oh shoot what do they call it they have like a cute little name for it where you obviously get the pattern and then you have like an alternate version where you can you adjust the pattern yourself you don't reprint a whole separate version of the pattern you just make the pattern adjustments um so again this talks about size inclusivity um tied at the side or back and then here are recommended fabrics that was one thing the other listing for the top was missing um woven to lightweight medium woven light to medium weight cotton linen silk viscose etc all good options depending on the look you want okay all right very good so again we can't see it's going to be hard to see oh there we go we can get the whole dress in but i'd like to take in the whole photo you know the whole photo was chosen for a reason but this is the wrap the top is giving you know what else is missing from the last listing was line drawings i would like to see that because i think that this is dolman sleeves oh but no it's this so it's a drop shoulder with sort of yeah it is very kimono-y so kimono top for sure then it wraps and then it has this really beautiful tulip skirt attached to it i don't know that i was expecting that i think that if it were straight like this it would look like a robe but making it curved like this really does make a beautiful like it just makes a little bit more sexy and then the long sleeve i am obsessed with long sleeve dresses right now there's the bow tie this might be double gauze here's the back and this is what she was meant to about the kind of scooping situation of the neck band so that it doesn't this part up top lays flatter to your body than if it were just a straight rectangle but she's right about the fullness it isn't as full as some kimono styles we see where there's just a lot of excess fabric on the sides here's one that's pretty maybe like a linen there and this is the other sleeve too yeah this maybe the color of this one or maybe the the textile is giving a little bit more robe but maybe like a high-end spa robe um it's the sleeve i think and maybe also the the average choice but again if you look at the shape of it a lot of that extra volume is gone so there is a lot of thought put into that and i really appreciate that i do feel like they're tying it to the gods though i i want to know what this looks like almost unwrapped not where she's naked but like where we could see exactly where the side seams would be like is that a side seam right there like underneath her bust i like the length of it too that's kind of mini yeah i think that there's definitely gonna be somewhere in the middle where you could pull this super super tight and give yourself the waist definition of like you know a corset um but i don't know that that is the all that flattering it's counterintuitive you would think oh the smaller my waist the more flattering it's gonna be but i think that there's an element of having it be really lousy at the top cinched in waist and then a close fitting tulip hem skirt this is really lovely this is growing on me more and more as i look through these i do wish for the photos at least they would have made the they would change their search or threat or just maybe even not used it at all i don't know that's very distracting and then back to the yellow one is this the beginning though but she mentions you know those bust darts like i'd like to see those i'd like to see the you know the arm side like to see like what kind of sleep actually we've got going on here i think you know a lot of the details are missing because there's no there's no technical drawing all right so now we have the Olivia button up same price again perfectly oversized button up shirt for women this is the kind of shirt you can wear to the beach over a bikini to work with jeans oh here we go this is exactly what i was just saying that i that i didn't like um or to a party with matching trousers i guess this is more of like a note on styling than it is like lifestyle but very very fine line there two sleeve options the first is a pleated sleeve the other is a gathered sleeve Olivia features a camp style collar side slits box pleat at the back yoke you can size up or down depending on the desired amount of oversized okay so where's that i can even see the arrow on this one there we go all right oh here it is up here okay so yeah this is some really beautiful like very thin lightweight maybe linen but here's a little notched side love that the yoke with the like uh grown on or the drop shoulder very similar in the shoulder and sleeve to the dress we just saw but then it all comes down to a gathered cuff it seems i think you have a regular collar no collar stand just a one-piece collar did it say that i don't think so then you can see the facing here slim but it needs to be there for the button band um but it doesn't come like it's not you know wild like scooting all the way out here and taking up most of the it's slim for these kind of thin fabrics that's really great there it is in a must-dirty color kind of a way to your fabric another shop in the back it also looks like the front is shorter than the back maybe again a long drawing would confirm that for me oh this is just zooming where's the arrow oh gosh oh gosh there we go um this is the pocket again it does again look like there's a bit of a asymmetry going on here this will be a good view oh actually that's making me second guess everything i don't know i don't know what the intent is but it does like she said i mean this you know what i like about this one too a lot of these oversized shirts don't spend enough time on the cuff and i love that this has a traditional you know working button cuff um with the little vent like i just it looks like an oversized men's shirt and that's what i really love about it it doesn't look like a shirt for women that was made too big or even a shirt for men that was made i don't know it just i guess because the cuffs fit the sleeve length is normal sleeve length and everything else is oversized it feels a little bit more intentional with how oversized the body is a lot of times like when it's oversized everything is oversized the wrist the length the volume of the sleeve but this feels a little bit like i don't know i keep going back to thoughtful and i feel like that's going to be my takeaway from this pattern company is that the designs are very thoughtful and i if i were a designer i would be thrilled if someone had that takeaway um because i'm sure a lot of thought goes into a lot of these patterns this is the vera cardigan classic v-neck slim fit so meant to be worn as a top you can make it you can size up if you want to layer it um flared sleeves adorable feature a cardium with the flared sleeves oh found neckline five buttons beginner pattern although having some experience with nits does come in handy lots of tipping tricks to help you along the way available in straight and plus sizes up to a 59 inch chest and then just about the the file that you'll get so also obsessed with this chocolate brown i just love brown so much right now show me from the front more side so yeah obviously something happening here also something happening here i'm wondering if it's being pulled to the back for some reason because it also does feel a little bit longer here but it's a knit i'm thinking it's kind of a lightweight knit let's see some more pictures yeah it's kind of doing that everywhere it's not pulling here so i don't think it's too small i also love how wide this neckline is this is a very very open neckline very pretty especially considering like cardigans get a bad rap for being like librarian like you know not sexy um so i love that this is kind of like a very feminine twist on uh what is usually deemed like a more conservative garment yeah i don't know how like picky i can be about the fit of a knit cardigan clearly something with the bust is happening right we can definitely all see that um but there has to be some negative ease or else it wouldn't be so fitted so it might be more of a balance and it might be something that you just live with and you're like you know what good enough all right all right that's it okay good cute okay karman coat this one's a euro more than the others oversized double breasted coat with raglan sleeves belt that ties to the natural waist length is lower to mid calf although you can adjust this obviously patterns written so the intermediate so is can level up their skills that's interesting for an intermediate to level up not for intermediate so is well it is for intermediate so is but it will be a challenge for intermediate so is i like that the pattern and instructions have been tested by so is for the law seem a lot it's included okay again all that all right cool so the descriptions are getting shorter and shorter um okay so raglan sleeves so there's a same one that comes up through here this is kind of what i was talking about with the oversizedness of it all so this is an oversized coat double breasted and the sleeves are very very wide um even the sleeve opening is very wide so it does look like you bought a coat that's way too big for you um which is a look in and of itself but what i appreciated about that top is it just seemed like no no no this was made for her intentionally to be big through the bodice we have this really deep welt pocket nice big lapel yep nice from the side from the back you can see the raglan sleeve better here center vaccine yeah just two buttons again double breasted though so it wraps over itself that really does add to the oversized quality of it because when you when you close it and button it it's literally wrapping over itself so you're losing a good six inches of circumference but when you have it open show me open from the front no um when you have it open they're all that extra fabric goes to the side so it looks really big and voluminous you know very roomy um whenever you pull it close it is a little more close fitted so again a little bit thoughtful there i appreciate that see you can kind of see from here it's not full frontal but okay we're gonna move on from that comment next we have waterfall wow bohemian dress i love bohemian um there's this new trend coming out called folk um folk folk folk something folk fashion maybe where it's like a cross between boho 70s um cottage core like if all those things had a baby so this i think the folk girlies would really appreciate this but it would be this with like with like lace up worn out brown boots you know like like you're in a field but not a field of grasses you're in a like you're in a forest but not a forest of trees you know it's like it's like i don't know you'll have to look it up it is really cute and interesting it's a very shabby look it's a very like pieced together look but when done right the girls look super cool all right so boho drafts a big flowy sleeves features a button placket and mandarin collar also known as a grandad collar have you guys ever heard it called that i think i'm only ever gonna call it now because i've always been a little bit leery of calling it a mandarin collar mandarin meaning you know of like reminiscent of the chinese fashions maybe even like not kimono kind of falls in that too but um i've always only ever heard of the alternate name being the stand collar but grandad collar that's cute the pattern is called the waterfall because the way the sleeves flow down from the pleats in the shoulders three views blouse mini dress and maxi dress comes in the usual size range wow okay let's i'm excited about this one maybe i'm more of a folksy girl than i realized and wouldn't this be great out of a bed sheet this is one of those bed sheet dresses i can just spot on a mile away so the sleeve is the entire bodice how incredible is that you have a princess seam that the sleeve is sewn into that is wild that is a that is a big flowy sleeve above ever seen one um i'm sure that inside of here is the rest of your bodice i mean just has to be but that is awesome okay here's another oh my god the mini is so cute oh my gosh i love that and then you even have this like a little elastic where it tucks under a little bit i love this i'm like seriously falling in love look at that look at that that is awesome and look she's in a field but not with grass see what i'm saying maybe maybe i did a good job of explaining that after all for us but not trees right are you seeing it now oh gosh so yeah and then the button front placket i don't know i think i would even like do away with all those buttons and just center front v-neck it i don't know the button i guess i don't i get i think i'm torn about half button you know like when it stops here but i get why you wouldn't need buttons all the way down here i don't know i don't know what i think about the button front placket there it is is a top equally as cute certainly not as fitted that's for sure all buttoned up though yeah i don't know i think v-neck with a facing i guess i'd have to see the construction that is just so beautiful let's zoom in this that's incredible i love this i just love how different it is i love that i've never seen anything like it what how did they get air up in there like that it's like balloons like she's gonna take plate oh my god i love this one how much is 1449 euros and dollars almost about the same right so good okay this is the paula knot top um perfect beginner pattern crop top front neckline detail with ties that go through the side seams to achieve clean lines around the neckline extra beginner's info which means a pattern is accessible to any has any level so it comes i do think the shape is really really beautiful the neckline how it's like like close to the body it's not gaping anywhere is really good but i'm thinking they're saying this comes around here you you do the first fold over tie like this and then sweep it through the side seams and tie it in the back this is fun i bet the fabric requirements on this is like three quarters of a yard or something and i'm sure we're gonna get a pattern for this skirt as well what's the so if you have 55 inch fabric one and a half yards or they have their minds there's no way almost one and three quarter yards where does the fabric go i mean from high point shoulder to waist is like what 15 inches maybe those ties must there must be something secretive about the ties or or or it's fully self lined that might be it because i'm not seeing any stitching lines here i don't think there's a facing i and same thing with this little sleeve it must be fully lined which is fine but like your fashion fabric is expensive so let's let's call out the fabric requirements for the fashion fabric and then the lining separately and if i decide i want to line it out of the self fabric i can if i decide i want to line it out of muslin or some other like cotton batiste i can do that plus if you made it out of something drapey or you wouldn't want to well i guess you probably would okay i'm assuming that's what's happening i'd have to look at the pattern obviously to know that for sure but that's cute for a beginner for sure i'll have to keep that in mind for all my beginners coming in to sewing class all right this is the sienna sweatshirt unisex 90s oversized beginner needs some 100 cotton heavier weight sweatshirt fabric and some ribbing now notice none of the patterns other than that second one have had fabric requirements in the listing i think that's helpful because i have a very big stash so when i'm thinking about buying a pattern i'm usually thinking do i have to buy a stash already or am i going to have to buy something new and if i have to buy something new then that will play a factor in whether or not i buy the pattern um play around the link add or remove link this pattern is okay fitted blah blah blah got it all right so this is just a sweatshirt is what she's telling us drop shoulder same same sleeve we've seen a lot from her i don't think we've seen one so like one set in sleeve this whole time which is fine especially for right now today's fashions are very much like like this whole oversized slouchy kind of vibe or in the world she get her matching ribbon ribbing that looks gorgeous good for her for finding that perfect somewhere all right so this yeah this is sweatshirt 1449 okay this is the eva or eva eva white leg trousers this is what they have paired with the little pola top great addition to an elegant handmade wardrobe high waisted trousers fit snug at the waist and hips not so much snug at the waist or the hips on these certainly not at the hips flowing out wider at the legs it features slanted pockets invisible back zipper invisible back zipper okay they and an option to add lining they pair very well with the zele wrap top or the pola not top okay oh here's some fabrics light to medium weight linen or cotton good drape satin or viscose make for a dressier version dress up dress down okay all right let's take a look at these pants okay so i'm first of all want to commend you for showing a photo without the hands in the pockets thank you so much this is the exact reason why i like to see that this is not necessarily a fault it's something i just want to know if it exists or not so when you have a little gate here in your slanted pocket hers is probably coming from her leg being kicked out but i just want to know how much how much ease how much you know well how much like drafting was put into this slant pocket is it going to gape yes the answer to that is yes that's not always a bad thing sometimes the way you move they have to gape but that's what i like to see and that's why i like hands out of pockets i really don't think i asked for too much you guys okay so here is an interesting shot sitting down yeah sitting down and slouched back kind of it does look like a very long crotch link but these little things are probably nuts when she was doing what is she holding them up you think they're no she's just casually like pinching them so some things i also noticed here was this is coming down which would be think that the crotch link was too short but then when you look here it looks too long but maybe it's wrapping from the back to the front a little bit more oh okay interesting shot can't really tell much about what's happening with the pattern a little baby hand in the pocket all right i do like the leg line i do like how much space is in like sometimes there can be lots of fabric on the inner thigh but you can tell like there's some space there which is nice another interesting pose doesn't help much in the way of you know sussing out the pattern but again you can see the pockets are pulling away a little bit here's the back but the top is covering so i can't see the back rise and with her leg popped like this and her calf being overextended it's really hard to see fit on the back i mean i guess it looks okay oh here we go yeah yeah that looks good that looks good to me even though i can't see the rise the the shape of the curve the leg line even though it's kind of like out i think we would be able to see like if there was a wedgie for sure we'd see if there was too much fabric we'd see that too this looks very clean so i'm happy about that okay excellent these all look really good from the photos like if she um this is the wrap top that they had paired with those pants a second ago um it does seem like she really is testing these out i don't know how much advice from the tester she's taking on but it seems to fit these girls well that does bring up a point though why aren't we modeling the higher size range why aren't we making up a sample and putting those on models too i bet all of you plus size girls out there were thinking that well before i realized it i apologize but yeah i would like to see it on full figures as well especially some of these wrap tops because you know the chests are so much larger yeah okay this is the zele top um oh andress puff sleeves gathered yo waist ties this seems very similar to the first one um just different sleeve the top version looks great here with jean okay thank you for telling me that all right yeah it's just a different sleeve and um well i guess it has a yoke also and the tie on the first one wrapped in the front this one wraps in the back i guess you could interchange those uh there might even be some shoulder gathers where can we see yes okay so there's like a yoke with shoulder gathers that create the fullness for the bust here that might be a dart again with outline drawing it's really hard to see is this the dress wait oh okay so i'm sorry i'm like processing if you can't tell i'm like stuttering okay so it gets wrapped or it must go through the side seam wrap around and come around again to tie yeah that looked i thought that the i don't know what i thought at first i wasn't sure what i was looking at but it has a long skirt with what is this no oh wait good i thought we were back to the beginning we're not lots of gingham i mean it is very similar to the first pattern give me another maxi dress oh here we go okay not that side view i was hoping to see the front or or it must be because oh because see how um is this curving intentionally i need line draw all that's all there is to it i would not have to second guess and guess and wonder and go back and forth if i had line drawing so i'm not even going to continue this little game of trying to figure out and dissect what's happening um i think that there is a curve here that's all i'm gonna say okay and with that that wraps up sycamore road patterns what do we think i think that for a new pattern company or a newer pattern company they're doing the important thing is the patterns right the quality of the patterns the fit um and the expectation of the results that we are going to get and i think that they're doing a great job with that there's just a couple little things missing from their website that would make the shopping experience better but honestly if the patterns like if i made these garments and they looked like this in the end i would be very very happy very happy so the waterfall is going to be on my list as soon as i get the rest of the i mean at the end of the list and the list is long so it might be a while but i that will that will live rent free in my mind for sure i love that sleeve so much um but i want to know what you guys think and also if you've ever sewn a what a sycamore road pattern before please please please please please leave a comment so that we can all see what your experience was like i'm trying to pin those to the top of the comment list to the comments so that that's the first thing people see whenever they go to the comments is someone who's sewn a pattern from them and what their experience was like so if you've done that please leave a comment let us know good better ugly and um yeah that's going to do it for today i will see you all very soon all right bye


Well, let's bring in Joe Douglas, the general manager of the jets is nice to join us. He just spoke to the, uh, the, uh, most of the print media on a conference call. And he said, joining us now on the Michael K show. Joe, how are you doing? First off, you and your family doing great. Good to be with you guys. Michael bond here, um, family's doing well, uh, working remotely from home. Uh, like I said to the beat guys, I apologize if you hear our dog barking or kids screaming, but, um, you know, um, we're, we're doing really well. I hope, I hope, uh, you guys, your family, your loved ones are all doing well. Also, we're all hanging in there. Thank you, Joe. Um, we were just talking about, you know, Adam Schefter said today last night on Scott Van Pelt sports center that he didn't think they should have the draft because of the carnage in the streets. And I don't quite get that. I mean, why are entertainment shows still on TV? Why is there all forms of entertainment, making people laugh and taking their minds off the awful stuff that's going on on the planet? What's your take on this, Joe? Do you think that the draft should go on? Um, you know, I'm, I think that we're ready for the draft. I think that, uh, you know, really from, from my perspective, um, you know, even though it's been different working remotely, um, we really, our timeline has really been business as usual. Um, with everything that's going on in the world, I feel like, you know, um, if we can be, if we can be a positive distraction, um, you know, so be it, we're willing to do that. Um, I don't think it's for me to say, you know, whether or not we should have a draft, uh, but what I can say is that, you know, we're going to be ready, you know, we're going to be ready when, uh, when it's draft day. With all the things that you cannot do, all the knowledge that might be lost because of what's going on with the pandemic, how much of a disadvantage do you feel you're at in knowing the player you select that'll have? Look, I think that I've heard some teams or some people say that you know, 25% of the work on these players isn't done. Um, I personally don't feel that way. I feel like our scouts have done a tremendous job, um, starting back in August, really June. We were in our first game in here. We had our college scouts do some spring scouting on the guys in this class just to get them up to speed on our new grading scale. So I think that, I think that, um, the information that our scouts have been able to get, I think we've been able to go through the all-star game process and really sit down with a number of players. Um, I think being able to go through the combine, um, as usual, um, I think the fact that there isn't, um, there isn't the pro days, there isn't top 30 visits, maybe throwing some people off, but I think we're making the most of what we have to use.  And we've been able to adjust. And I think our coaching staff is doing a great job of, uh, getting in front of these players and, um, you know, going over scheme, going over video. So I think we've been able to make the most of our technology. And that's why we feel good about, about the Jeff. All right, let's talk about, um, what you've done in free agency. It seems that it's slow and steady wins the race. There wasn't any outrageous long-term deal. A lot of one-year deals. Was that by design, Joe, to keep flexibility or did you not see the player out there that you wanted to commit to for a real long-term big money deal? Yeah, I think, I think I've been, uh, an open book in terms of what, what we were really trying to address in terms of, uh, positions. And I think the one thing that we wanted to do is be, uh, they're financially responsible. Um, I, I can tell you that, um, it wasn't our plan. Um, to do the amount of one-year deals. I think it's, uh, look, I think contracts are two way street with, with the team, with the player and the agent. And I think, I think that's what the market did pay this year. Um, it just, it just worked out that way with a lot of one-year deals. Um, but I know our plan was to address key positions and be responsible in doing so, so that it could provide a flexibility moving forward. What happened with Robbie Anderson? Look, I think Robbie, um, I can't say enough about, about the way Robbie handled himself last year and just his career path from going from a long-acting free agent to, uh, being a starting, uh, impact, starting to see the national football league. Um, you know, Robbie has a unique opportunity to go back with his college coach from Temple in that role in Carolina. I wish him nothing but the best. Um, obviously he was, he was a very, uh, he was a great player, he was a very good jet. Um, I can tell you that we're excited, uh, about the shot pyramid, uh, what he brings to his organization and his ability to take the top off the defense and, uh, be an explosive playmaker for us. Now you certainly signed your share of, uh, people on the offensive line, which a lot of people circled as a, as a big need to protect Sam Darnold. Uh, where does that leave Brian Winters? Is Brian Winters coming back?  That's an opening day starter. Um, so, you know, we envision him giving, uh, be giving every opportunity to, to compete for that spot.   Uh, I'm curious just, um, from a challenge standpoint of trying to determine what last year was all about from one and seven, six and two, two completely different seasons. First half injuries were a problem. Second half, you could say, well, you want six and two because your schedule was a little easier. How challenging is it to find out exactly which of those two halves are the real jets? Yeah, you know, I, I'm not going to sit here and make excuses for one and seven start. Um, I just, I can tell you that I, I couldn't be more proud of the way of this team finished, uh, this season. And I think a lot of it had to do with our coaching staff.  No one, no one back down, you know, even, even at the darkest point, you know, one and seven guys are out there every day coming in early, um, getting extra work and getting extra reps and I think, I think that mentality has been a carry forward, um, because we do have the right types, type of people in the building. Um, you know, and we had a lot of guys, a lot of guys received opportunities in the back half of the season and they made the most of it. Um, and their hunger and their driving and competitiveness showed, uh, throughout throughout the end of the year.  And so, um, I think, I think there's a lot of positive things from the finish of last year that can springboard us into 2020. Well, you mentioned defense. I'll put you on the spot. Uh, Jadavian Clowney has lowered his price to 17 to 18 million a year. Are the jets going to dive in? Yeah, I'll say the same thing I said to the beat.  Um, you know, we, uh, it's the right, it's the right opportunity to present itself.  Um, but obviously he's been a dynamic player in the national football league. Does that mean I can't follow up and say what are the odds you get in Trent Williams? I, I, I'll give you the, I'll give you the, uh, exact same answers that we have done our due diligence on, on a lot of players.  All right, be honest. What was your reaction when Brady left for Tampa?   He's probably the best player of all time. And, um, you know, mission well in Tampa and we've got, we've got so many, so many things to worry about with our own team. I, I couldn't even begin to comment on, you know, what's, uh, what's going on with our teams. But, you know, we've got to, we've really got to worry about ourselves moving forward. Joe, uh, Douglas is our guest right here on the Michael K. Show Jets GM as he's preparing for the upcoming NFL draft, um, with the, the rule passed yesterday that there's two more wildcard teams. Do you look at this? I mean, because we started this interview with, you know, slow and steady, you're not doing anything splashy just yet. Are the Jets looking to make the playoffs this year? Or is it just a year to rebuild? So this is, is this the power off just to make the splashy comment about, uh, we've got Yes, this is the one on the back page of the paper. Yeah. Yeah. No, um, this is going to sound cliche and boring, but we, we're trying to be better, you know, um, we're trying to be a better team than we were after the Buffalo game. You know, we're trying to, we're just trying to get better each day. Um, whenever we get back together as a team, whenever that may be, um, you know, that's going to be our approach to get better than we were thinking for, you know, I mean, obviously you open the goal every year is to win Super Bowl. Um, and you can't, you can't win the Super Bowl as you get into the playoffs. So, um, you know, we're trying, what we're trying to do is build the right foundation, build the right foundation of people and, uh, really add to the, add the depth and the quality of people to this team. What are your expectations? The thing, the thing we love about you, Joe, is that you never lie and you did not lie. That was cliche and boring. You were absolutely right. I'll never lie to you guys. Uh, what can we expect from LeVion Bell?  And I know how competitive he is on another fire that he brings. So, um, I'm excited to get him back here. Um, you know, and, uh, and I'm sure he's excited to get back here and get going. And, um, you know, uh, I know we've got some, some new offense lining that can't wait to, to open some holes for him. And I was reading some of the remarks that you made to the beat writers. Did you actually have a conversation with Sam Darnold's parents that you're going to protect them better? Did they first come up to you? Or did you just offer that to them? I, I met them on the sideline prior to the Giants Pre-season game. Yeah.  So that's, that's right there. That's true. She must have been appreciative. No, I enjoyed spending time with them before that game. Um, just to, to outstanding people. So that was, that was pretty cool. Spending a little time with them before the Giants Pre-season game. Now, year three for a quarterback is usually that year where they, they take the big leap. Can he still do that despite the time that he missed last year? I think so. I, and I think you saw that in the back half of the year. Um, you know, the thing, the thing I love about Sam is just how tough he is, how tough he is mentally and psychologically.   You know, so, um, I think, I think, uh, we have a special young player in San Donut. So there's your splashy headline, I guess. So, um, no, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm so excited about saying, you know, um, and, uh, you know, he, he would talk about, you know, the, what we're trying to do culturalizing and, um, the competitors that we're looking for and the mentality that we're looking for, you know, we feel like that we have that in San and, um, you know, we just, we just gotta do everything we can to help him. What'd you get Adam Gates for birthday present?  Um, and, um, you know, hopefully we can give him some more presents at the draft. Do you think there's any chance Gates actually relaxes for five minutes while he's stuck in the house during quarantine? No, no, I'm just kidding. Like he was, he keeps, he's wired and he wired in on this draft, he's wired in on three agency. Um, he was, uh, he's getting after the tape, you know, he's studying, he's studying every position, you know, not just offensive, so he's, uh, he's getting after this draft. Because I would love to pick in the draft. There's a, I'm sorry, Don, Levin pick in the draft. Is it going to be offense or a wide receiver, offensive line or wide receiver? We'll see how it plays out. It's, I think, I think the 11th pick, and I'm sure we'll talk more about it as we get closer, but I think the 11th pick is a very interesting place to be, you know, I think, um, especially if there's a run on, on, um, you know, quarterbacks or, uh, offense line or why we'll see what happens. But, you know, we feel like there's going to be a really good player there at pick 11. So we feel like it's a good spot to be in this year. Are you open to move up or down? Well, if the right person gets our opportunity to present itself, you know, we'll, we'll consider anything, um, you know, depending on who the player, even players are available and, uh, you know, I'll move up or what players are available still if we want to move back. Um, so, um, I think, I think we're, we're trying to maintain a level of flexibility in that regard. Well, good luck in the draft. But most importantly, you and your family stay safe, stay healthy, and, uh, we look forward to talking soon. You too, guys. I appreciate the time. You got a safe day. You too.
