In the 1990s, when machine embroidery

became available to those of us who sew at home,

it was tricky to achieve professional results.

The embroidery was easy,

but the hooping was rather difficult.

As technology advanced, so did the hooping techniques

thanks to experts like my guest,

Marie Zinno,

who has embroidered thousands of projects

and is here to fill you in on her secrets.

Welcome to Sewing with Nancy.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for having me, Nancy.

I'm so excited to be here and to share my embroidery tips.

Some of the products that I like to embroider...

This baby bundle of items is not only adorable,

but it's also the perfect place to begin learning

how to team up effective hooping techniques

with the appropriate stabilizers.

"Hoop it Up: A Guide to Successful Embroidery,"

that's what's coming up next on Sewing with Nancy.

Sewing with Nancy,

TV's longest-airing sewing and quilting program with Nancy Zieman

is made possible by:

Amazing Designs and Klassé Needles.

This series is all about preparation.

Preparing you embroidery.

Putting it in the hoop, choosing the right stabilizer,

and, Marie, we're starting with

a very simple project,

but one that many of us would like to give away.

Of course.

It's a purchased baby blanket that you would embroider

with your own embroidery design.

And we're just going to show you a couple techniques

on how to do these

kind of stretchy fleece baby blankets.

Yeah, it has a lot of give to it.

First, I would start by selecting my embroidery design,

which I've printed from my embroidery software.

And that just gives me an idea

of the size of the embroidery design.

It will tell you the stitch count, as well.

Then, I just put it on my blank to make sure

that it's in position and in the proper area.

Isn't too big or isn't too small.

But then to get it exactly where you'd like it.

Exactly, exactly.

So then I would use what I call a hard template.

These are templates that are created

specifically for embroiderers.

And, actually, it'll say, "For baby blanket."

Yeah, it's right side up.

And it fits right inside the satin stitched line

of this purchased baby blanket.

Of course, you can make your own blanket and use the same way

when you add your satin trim.

It has some openings.

And there's these-- mostly it's for text

and for embroidery designs.

And then I put in a target sticker that comes included with

the kit in that center hole.

Make sure it's straight.

And then, you remove the template.

And, yeah, that target sticker has a cross hair on it

to help you with

the proper orientation of your embroidery design.

And it also has an arrow, this side up.

That would be more important

as we go along in doing more detailed items.

You can work on a nonslip surface,

a nonslip mat.

That's what we're using today.

Very helpful.

And during this series, we're going to work with a lot

of stabilizers, but the basic stabilizer is a cutaway.

That's right.

We're using the poly mesh or no-show mesh

stabilizer because this blanket has a lot of stretch to it.

And, actually, we're embroidering an area

that's on the bias so you even get more stretch to it.

I'm using a 5" x 7" standard hoop

because I'm going to add a little text

to this embroidery design at the machine.

And I want to just plan ahead for that.

Of course, I would make sure this is perfectly lined up,

and then I would line it up

with my needle on the embroidery machine.

Which we'll do in a few minutes.

And then there's another option that we have for...

to make hooping even easier.

And this is what we call a "magnetic hoop."

It comes with a protector

so you can easily get it apart.

And it's a flat hoop,

so it helps you.

You can manipulate the fabric to a point, if needed,

if you have puckers when it's in there.

And then, you lay the top frame on there.

The magnetic hoop will not

interfere with your computerized embroidery machine.

Twenty years ago when the machines came out,

it was an issue, but not anymore.

Technology has progressed on that.

And we can get the design 'spot on' at the sewing machine,

but this is nice and taut in here and ready to go.

So, the next step

after we have things hooped properly

is to do the positioning at the machine.

Now, if you have an embroidery unit for your sewing machine,

you apply it.

If you don't have an embroidery unit,

maybe you can just learn

and see how easy it is to do the embroidery.

It's learning something new.

But the first thing you're going to do is get

your thread in order the way that it's going to stitch.

Color one, two, three, four, etc...

And I line that up to the right, usually, of my sewing machine.

I always put in a new needle,

an embroidery needle, and use the appropriate bobbin thread

that's recommended with your sewing machine.

You're going to put in a foot,

the embroidery foot that comes with the machine

that you will know when you set up the unit.

And then, you're going to insert the hoop

into the embroidery unit, and, Marie, you've already done that.

I've already done that.

And I've actually already brought up my embroidery design

because it's saved in memory.

I did it in embroidery software.

But right now I'm going to

take a second to show you that

we placed the target sticker on our blanket,

and the proper orientation should actually be the opposite

of the way the design comes up on your screen.

So I'm going to rotate this design

180 degrees.

Very easy on this machine.

It has all the degrees

that you can rotate it.

And I'm also going to add

an automatic basting file,

which is another wonderful feature in this machine.

The reason I'm doing that is to hold

the water-soluble stabilizer

right before I'm ready to stitch.

It's just a long stitch

that's going to put all layers together.

Many machines have that. That's right.

But, Marie...

If you didn't have that with your sewing machine...

And you want to have a basting file

that you can use for many different embroidery projects,

then you can do that in software

and save that as just one file

on either your machine or on a memory card or stick.

You can kind of see that

we have that as cutaway.

So you can see that it's just a long basting stitch

around the design.

Around the... perimeter.

And it holds either the water-soluble stabilizer or

it can also hold a project in a hoop, if you're having trouble.

So now I have rotated my design.

It's going in the right orientation,

but I really want to line it up with that target sticker.

That's the whole reason I used it.

So I'm going to use my jaw keys.

And I'm just lining it up easily

with the target sticker.

I'm eyeballing it at this moment,

but some machines have great features

that you can actually use.

And this is actually a little laser light that helps you see

the exact center of the target sticker,

so I know I am perfectly lined up.

And another important thing to do

is to actually remove that target sticker before I stitch

or it will be included in the design,

which I have done many times.

But, it's not really a problem.

So, at this point, I'm going to add a water-soluble stabilizer.

Notice I'm just kind of placing it on top.

And you can see it actually

moves to the first color

of my embroidery design, which is very helpful.

So you don't have to change colors.

If your first color is going to be pink, which ours is,

then the basting file is going to be in pink.

Move your hands out of the way.

I kind of just babysit it for a second to make sure

that the basting file does tack down properly.

That's all.

Just doesn't get bunched up anywhere.

Always cut your water-soluble stabilizer a little bit larger

than your design.

People like to save the water-soluble stabilizer,

but this is always a good point

to just always cut it a little bit bigger.

Sure... and then it's going to start to stitch the lamb.

That's right.

But it'll stop because it might want to do it in another color.

which is what our machine will do.

And I'm just going to start stitch...

...the beginning parts of the lamb.

And now, it's just changing the thread colors

and watching the magic of the machine.

This program is on hooping,

so we're not going to do a lot of the embroidery,

But after you have stitched the entire design.

I've removed some of that basting file

just with a nippers, just nip it off,

tear away

the water-soluble stabilizer,

and from the back of the design,

then you're going to cut away the extra fabric.

If you have some extra water- soluble stabilizer on the front,

just dab it with a little Q-tip, and the water will come out.

And then you have your first project,

and that's how you hoop up a baby blanket.

Next, learn Marie's tips for success

when embroidering on baby burp cloths.

The bulky center panel can cause hooping issues,

if the wrong type of hoop is selected.

Yeah, burp cloths can be very difficult to hoop so

we've selected a woven diaper.

It's really just a cloth diaper,

and I'm going to embroider one end

of my cloth diaper.

So, I like to always print, again, a template,

a paper template, of my embroidery design

so I know it's going to fit

and that it'll be stitched in the right orientation.

And then, I would use my hard template

to place on the burp cloth.

Kind of take into consideration

where the ribbon will be stitched at the end.

Sure, I like that idea.

So, you use that.

Right, because you don't want to be down too low

and lose part of the embroidery design.

And then you would place the little target sticker

right in that center hole.

Make sure it's nice and straight, and that

you have your cross hair going in the right orientation.

And now, for a stabilizer, we used,

with stretchy fabric, we used a stable stabilizer.

Now we can use a tear-away.

Right, this is just a simple tear-away because our

burp cloth is not going to stretch.

It's just a woven fabric, so it's not very stretchy.

And then I place the top of the magnetic hoop on top.

And, at this point, you can kind of tug

and just make sure it's nice and straight in your hoop.

Make sure the top and bottom frames are lined up.

And it's ready to go. And you're ready to go.

This program is on hooping, and the reason we didn't use

a traditional hoop is because of the thickness in the middle.

Sometimes this can spring apart.

Yeah, all burp cloths or

diapers can be different thicknesses,

so you have to take that into consideration.

And after doing the embroidery, which this

is on hooping remember,

you just tear away the extra stabilizer in the back,

and you don't even see it.

So, with stable fabrics, you use a tear-away;

with stretchy fabrics, you use a stable stabilizer.

And that's Marie's hooping tip for success.

That's right.

Why not keep a stash of terrycloth bibs on hand

for quick gifts?

We recommend purchasing neutral colors and embroider them.

Present a one-of-a-kind gift to a new mom.

When we hooped the blanket, which had stretch in it,

we're going to use

that same idea for hooping this terrycloth bib

because it has the same amount of stretch, or give.

So, in standard or a magnetic hoop,

you'd place the cutaway stabilizer, the bib,

and then do the embroidery

with a topper or a water-soluble stabilizer on top.

You notice that in this program, we are adding a motif

plus some copy, some words, to personalize it.

And Marie is going to give us some tips

on how she does that.

That's right.

I've already embroidered my owl design,

and I actually did some text in the program

lettering, that's included in the machine,

and I actually saved it in memory.

So, we're going to stitch "Who's hungry?"

underneath the owl that I've already stitched,

and we're going to use the scanning feature

to take a picture

of what's already been stitched in my hoop.

So, it's actually taking a photograph

of what's actually in my hoop.

And there it is.

Magic!

It is. It's so great.

Now, I can edit the text because I need to rotate it.

I don't want it to stitch on top of the owl.

So I'm going to rotate it

and use the jaw keys

to fit underneath of the design.

And we're just going to add the text.

Put the foot down and start stitching

the "Who's hungry?" underneath the owl.

It's a great way to personalize

different projects

and make it more unique

for the gift that you're giving.

Now, if you did not have a scanning feature--

not all machines have that--

you could simply put them together

on the screen.

Exactly, yes, you could do that.

It's very easy to do right at the machine, which is wonderful.

You can do it in software, too.

So, we'll let Marie's machine stitch away,

and you can see how we've added,

the copy has been added.

You release the basting stitch file,

just kind of clip it away,

tear away the top,

cut away the back,

and cut around the design,

and we'll just show you this again

on the finished project.

And I like your little rickrack addition that you added.

Oh, yeah, it's a great trim to add to any bib or ribbon.

Always looks great.

So, there you go.

A way of adding text to a motif

and personalize a gift at the same time.

Next, learn the hoop it up techniques

for embroidering a hooded baby towel.

Positioning, hooping, and nesting

are all part of the embroidery process.

Marie, I think these are

one of the best gifts you can give a new mom

for the little baby, whether it's bath time or

swimming lessons.

Doing a little personalization is just a great thing.

But this is not necessarily--

It's not an easy thing to do.

...the easiest thing to hoop because it's...

...not flat.

If you're buying a purchased hooded towel,

it is not very easy to hoop.

It's possible, and we're going to show you how.

Yes, exactly

Basically, start it by just buying a blank

hooded towel that I've actually

fused our poly mesh or no-show mesh stabilizer

onto the inside area of the hood only.

And you can see this is fusible.

I kind of peeled back a little bit so you can see.

There's definitely a shiny side to that

and that is what goes down on the fabric.

You give it a little press.

Yeah, I'll show you. We have the iron here.

So it's cut to size.

I cut it to the shape and

area of the hoop that I'm going to...

...to use because I'm going to use a 4" x 4".

And then you just kind of press it on,

and make sure that stabilizer is on there.

We're just...

...using a little ironing.

We have a little area.

And then I would turn it right side out

to mark my center,

to mark my placement for the embroidery design.

Okay.

I'm going to stitch that cute little

frog design.

And I'm using this kind of great roller that is...

So you can just find the center.

Yes, you can find the center.

And, again,

we're going to use those handy target stickers

to help place your embroidery

with the cross hair going towards the top of the hood so

we don't embroider upside down

when we're at the machine, which is quite easy to do.

Now if you hooped it like this, you'd be in trouble.

There'd be no place for the hood.

Right, yeah.

On the standard home machine,

it's hard to embroider something like this.

So now I'm going to turn it inside out,

and I'm going to, sorry,

go this way because I would like

the bulk of the fabric or bulk of the towel

to be over the hoop and over the attachment.

So here's the attachment area.

I'm just going to show--

And then you just kind of lay this in here

and take the top frame

of your hoop.

Again, most hooded towels, this will work in the 4" x 4".

There might be some hoods that are a little smaller,

a little tighter, and you might have to struggle with that.

But for this particular project, it works

in this nice 4" x 4" hoop.

You just kind of get in there nice and taut,

and then you would take it over to the machine.

And here you can

see that we have it on the machine,

and to get the design to the correct orientation,

we have to do some rotation.

You can see that just on the screen.

And then, after getting the needle

right over that target sticker,

removing the target sticker and putting on a stabilizer,

you can start

to do the embroidery.

And here, we're embroidering away,

and notice how you have the towel nested.

That's right.

It's very important to keep the bulk of the fabric

over the attachment and out of the way.

And one of the nice, handy little home tools

that I like to use is painter's tape.

It's that blue tape

that really doesn't stick to the terrycloth, but it

keeps the bulk of the fabric

out of the way of the needle and the embroidery unit.

So, you're not going to worry about that falling in to place

and stitching through all the layers together.

So, those are Marie's successful tips for embroidery.

The onesie, a baby basic,

can be one of the most challenging garments to hoop,

but knowing the tricks of the trade

streamlines the process.

We'd like to show you how.

Now, Marie, when working with

a small sized onesie,

you've got to get in here

and get the hoop navigated,

plus you have to do the stabilizing.

So, share your tips.

Okay, well, I like to

make my life a little easier

by printing a template of my embroidery design,

and it's a small sized design, so, therefore,

I'm going to use a 4" x 4" size hoop,

which is the easiest size hoop to use for a onesie.

And I'm also using what I call one of these hard templates.

That will help you line up

the center of your onesie with the neckline.

And place your little target sticker in here.

You know, it's easy to do one onesie,

but if you're going to do a number of onesies,

you might want to mark them all in the same place.

At least, that's how I do it.

If you were going to be adding a lot of

text to your design, you may want to lower that.

Just move it down a little bit.

Just as long as you know you're in the center

and the right orientation.

And then, I like to use

the fusible poly mesh

or no-show mesh stabilizer.

I cut it a lot bigger than or way bigger than my 4" x 4" hoop,

and that eliminates the stretch that you would have

with the onesie with the knit fabric.

So, you would iron this on.

And again, this can be released later

by just re-ironing it.

So we ironed on the

fusible stabilizer.

And I'm going to use a fun little tool

that's called a hoop guard

that works to help eliminate the lower flap of that

to get in the way of your embroidery.

So, my onesie is marked,

and I'm going to work upside down, actually.

I'm going to put this upside down.

And inside out.

So, I line up the top frame

of the magnetic hoop that I'm using.

And it's a little hard for you to see,

but maybe if I open this up.

Yeah, there you go.

You can see, okay, we're not straight in there.

See, the cross hairs is a little crooked.

So we're going to straighten that up,

and then we're going to attach the bottom portion of the hoop.

At this point...

This is where the magic comes.

You are going to pull

the bottom snap portion over...

The guard. Over the guard.

And you can manipulate the fabric,

make it a little taut, that you need to

because I've already fused that stabilizer.

And then I would use some blue painter's tape--

again, my favorite household tool--

to keep the fabric out of the way

from falling into my embroidery.

And you would just stick it on there.

This is not a project that you'd walk away from.

No, you have to embroidery-sit.

Sit right by there.

And that's what we're doing right now.

We're sitting by the machine as this is embroidering.

You can see we're doing a close-up of this.

Notice that the metal part is toward you.

Always toward you, right.

Because otherwise, it would get caught in the machine mechanism.

And then when you're finished embroidering,

and, really, I've done onesies,

it's kind of hard to do without that,

you can release this, heat it up.

Heat it up, and then...

...just cut away.

You'd like to kind of round the corners so

you don't leave a demarcation.

That's right.

So, get everything out of the way,

add a stabilizer,

do the embroidery, have the fun part,

and then you have a onesie ready to go.

That's right.

Nancy's Corner goes on location

to the annual Quilt Expo in Madison, Wisconsin,

where we visit a community service project

already in progress.

As long as women and men have been sewing and quilting,

they've been giving away of their works of art.

And that's what we're doing today at the Quilt Expo

in Madison, Wisconsin,

a three-day quilting event

which includes a community service project

where men and women are making

full size, mainly twin-sized beds this year

to give to others.

And we're doing some giving away right now.

I'd like to introduce you to Elizabeth Klaus,

who is the director at DAIS.

Elizabeth, tell us a little about DAIS.

So, DAIS is the only

emergency domestic violence shelter in Dane County.

As an organization,

we also run seven other comprehensive

intervention, prevention, and education programs

for victims of domestic violence and the community at large.

DAIS has been around 1977,

and over the past few years

we have been working on

a very large project to build

a new shelter and facility

on Madison's north side.

This past summer we were able to move into that new home,

and we're very thrilled to be there.

This expanded our shelter services

from 25 beds in our old place

to 56 beds in the new place.

So, as you can tell, these quilts will go a long way

for DAIS.

So the beds, some of the beds,

will be adorned with our quilts

that have been made here or made at home and brought here.

This is a column quilt, a design that we're making now.

You can go to Quilt to Give,

which is the name of the quilt,

dot com and get the free instructions.

But so many have been donated fabrics,

and I'm thrilled to be giving many quilts

to the DAIS organization

so that they can be given to people

and used by people who really need a boost.

Absolutely, Nancy.

This project means so much to us

because a lot of times our clients will come

to use DAIS services or come into our shelter

and will have little more than the clothes on their backs.

Sure.

And they need a lot more.

Absolutely.

To be able to give them something that's

so beautifully homemade and thoughtfully crafted for them

means a lot to our clients because

it not only means that they'll have something beautiful

it means that the community has created something

with them in mind, and it really means a great deal.

Now, the Domestic Abuse Intervention Services

is in Madison, where we are having the Quilt Expo.

The other half of the quilts are going to Enchanted Makeover,

a makeover organization who goes into shelters nationally.

So women's shelters around the country

will be benefiting from this.

And, Elizabeth, what I find is that

when I make something

and give it away, the gift is in the giving,

and it's the process that makes me really happy.

Absolutely.

The best part of my job is coming out here

and meeting people like you

who are willing to use their talents and their time

to really give us a gift that goes beyond the object itself

to really have something that

is a thoughtful keepsake, as well.

And what's amazing to me

is that today, as I was here,

two women brought completely finished quilts.

They didn't want any recognition.

They just wanted to hand it over

and for us to give it to someone who really needed it.

So if you have a quilt at home

that you are making

and you just don't know who to give it to,

perhaps there's an organization--

There are many organizations around the country

that could appreciate it and use it,

and you will be making a person very happy.

Absolutely.

So, a little bit of fabric

and a little bit of time

and you'll definitely have

a great way of encouraging someone

and working with them

and helping them get through a difficult time.

Elizabeth, thank you for being with us

on this special edition of Sewing with Nancy,

and we hope that we'll see you again

and provide more quilts to you.

Yes, thank you so much, Nancy. You're welcome.

-------------------------------------------

Asset Creation Guide for Blades of Orterra (Tutorial) - Duration: 8:35.

Hey everyone and welcome to the Asset Creation Guide for Blades of Orterra, I'm

the Creative Director and Founder of the game and I'll be going through the

workflow and steps that are taken to create a model that you see in the game.

In this guide, we'll be working on a table, specifically a round table that

should at least fit four chairs or more. Just a quick disclaimer this guide will

be for all skill levels ranging from beginner to advanced, but if you're a

complete beginner and you're interested, feel free to continue.

In this guide, we'll be utilizing a modeling software

and a texturing software, for my modeling software

I'll be using Blender, it's open source and it's also free, you can also utilize

other software like 3DSmax, Maya, Modo or any other. For my preferred

texturing software I'm going to utilize Substance Painter which you can purchase

for around $200 on the Allegorithmic website, another option also includes

Quixel. The workflow for creating an asset may be different depending on the

complexity of the model however since we're working on a table which is a fairly

simple mesh I'll be using one of the common workflows. First we start off with

gathering references, then we prepare our file in Blender and start

working on the blockout. From there we go into low poly into high poly modeling

and once we complete those steps, we start UV unwrapping the low poly and do

a few little technical steps afterwards. Near the end of the workflow we work on

texturing the model, exporting it for UE4 and finally importing and preparing

the asset for in engine use. Quite a few steps that are taken to create just one

asset for the game, but it's needed for the best quality which is something we

aim for in the Covert Games development team.

Pre-production is a very important step in any department. Pre-production for

modeling consists of gathering references. The first step to our entire

workflow is gathering references and figuring out where we'll be using this

asset. For this model, I'll simply be using Google Images to find references

for the mood, color, and shape for the table. References are super important to

get a proper model going, I highly recommend to always have at least one

reference when you're modeling. The preparation stage includes opening up

the modeling software and getting the viewport all ready for modeling; once we're

prepared we'll start working on the blockout of the asset. The blockout is

just a rough version of the model, getting the proper proportions and the

shape of the model without adding too many crazy details. This model is pretty

simple so the next stage comes pretty quick.

The low poly stage is quite straightforward as well because we

already have most of our proportions for the model, we're just adding in

details like beveling and more, in our workflow we try to get most of the model

already prepared in the low poly stage for the export so we don't have to do

some crazy retopology.

The high poly stage is the second most amusing step in the workflow, this step

allows our artists to add details to the mesh. Firstly, we duplicate the low poly

and bring it to a different scene or viewport away from the low poly, we

typically use subdivision modifiers for a high poly model so it's best to keep

the scene clean, this step is fairly resource intensive for our computers so

that's exactly why we want to use different scenes. We also add support

loops for the spots that we want sharp edges, not too sharp however so the Normal

Maps bake properly.

This is the one stage that nobody really likes, this involves taking a 3D model

and flattening it out for the texture this stage is called UV unwrapping and is

crucial that it is done correctly for a proper texture and bake that doesn't

contain a bunch of bleeding and errors. In Blender I typically sharpen my

edges first and then I select one and do "Select Similar > Sharp Edges", this will

select all of the sharp edges that I've created and then I can press "Mark Seams",

technically every edge that is sharp should be separate in the UVs and doing

this also speeds up the UV process by a ton. Moving some UVs around may be needed

to use the most space possible, since we don't want to waste any UV space and

lose texture quality (which is super important).

Once we're complete with the UV unwrap, we separate all of the pieces and rename

them to have a proper bake, I'll show why we do that later on in the texturing process.

Texturing, the most amusing step in the workflow. In Covert Games, we use

Substance Painter to texture our models, it's a fantastic piece of software that

has a ton of tools including the ability to bake maps. Since this model is mostly

wood we shouldn't have an issue with texturing, however we still want to focus

on getting some dirt and grime going, including some little details here and

there; the details are what really matter and make the models stand out.

We're starting off by baking all the maps and excluding the ID map we want this to

bake at a 2048x2048 resolution with some anti-aliasing to smoothen out a bit;

we also select the "Baked by Mesh Name" in one of the dropdowns, this stops any kind

of bleeding or pieces baking onto other pieces which looks super odd, which is

why we renamed all of the meshes after UV unwrapping

We like to add some dirt with the 'dirt generator' and kind of increase or

decrease the roughness in spots to make the model stand out more, this is

something that we typically do for a ton materials in the game, giving it a more

fantasy look rather than trying to go for photo realism since

Blades of Orterra's artstyle is typically hyperrealism.

Once we're done with texturing and we made sure that it's looking all good and it's good to

go we rename our texture set to

something proper and we start to export our textures most props only need three

textures, the Diffuse, Normal Map, and something we like to call the "RMAO Map",

which is just three textures in one, the Roughness map, Metallic map, and Ambient

Occlusion map. It's pretty amazing that same substance painters defaults to this

and saves you a bunch of memory space so definitely utilize it. We strictly keep

naming conventions for basically every file type, for our textures we start with

'T_' which then follows with the texture set name and then ends off with the

texture type, so for this example '_D' for Diffuse.

So we have our all of our files which include the model in FBX format and our

textures, now all we need to do is import it into the engine. Make sure that when

you're importing that you have 'Combined Meshes' selected since all the pieces are

separate in this model. Once you import the textures, you also need to check off

'sRGB' in the RMAO map, this is a super crucial step to having a proper look in-game.

And that's it and around one hour and a half we've completed our table asset, I

hope you enjoyed this video and hopefully it helps you if you're interested in 3D

The Druid Circle of Dreams In Xanathar's Guide To Everything - Duration: 8:23.

- The Druid Circle of Dreams is

deeply associated with the Feywild.

Where that can be a very dangerous realm,

the Druid Circle of Dreams essentially

can provide comfort and safety

and protection to those around them.

I talked to Jeremy Crawford about this

new Circle for the Druid class

in Xanathar's Guide to Everything.

- We brainstormed all sorts of things,

and any time we brainstorm, it's funny,

either Class options or Monsters,

I will always look for an opportunity

to insert something that has to do with the Feywild,

because in my home campaign, I always

have things from Feywild, or otherwise

known as Faerie, whether it's Hags

or beautiful Fey creatures who will help you,

or perilous beautiful ones who harm you.

I love this kind of Fey connection.

There's so much great folklore having to do

with the Fey in the real world

to draw on for D&D adventures.

It's also an aesthetic that I know

that not only I enjoy but many D&D players enjoy.

It's an otherworldly quality, it's resonant

because it's something that is in

so much folklore, but feels alien

at the same time, and so when we were

brainstorming for the Unearthed Arcana series,

and then the eventual Xanathar's Guide,

as usual I took my opportunity

that we need some Fey thing for the Druid.

And part of that is because the Druid

is often associated with animals, plants,

Elementals, but also Fey creatures,

and that association with Fey creatures

goes all the way back to First Edition,

where Druids, among their spell options,

had things like Call Woodland Beings,

where you could suddenly call forth

various Fey creatures to assist you,

and it's also appropriate that this

association exists because even in

Irish mythology, Druids are often

in the same stories with creatures

from what would be called the Otherworld.

Often they're actually opposed

to each other in the Irish myths,

but again, D&D so often transforms things

from other sources, and so in D&D,

it's often now the Druids who are befriending

these Fey creatures, or even controlling them.

So the Circle of Dreams is meant to be

a subclass that leans heavily

into the Fey side of the Druid.

Its identity is to be, the Druid

who channels the power of the Feywild

to help his or her friends, to

be a little tricksy in terms of

having teleportation, which is something

we include often with Fey beings,

but to largely be one who is emphasizing

sort of the group support angle of the Druid.

We often have multiple goals

whenever we're creating a subclass.

We want a good story, we want fun abilities

in and out of combat, but we also wanna

fill role gaps that exist among

the subclasses that are already in the game.

So we felt like, we already have, in a way,

in the Player's Handbook, the Nature Wizard

in the form of the Circle of the Land.

We already have the Druid who focuses

on shape-changing, largely to engage

in battle, with the Circle of the Moon.

So we wanted this Fey Druid that was

focusing more on helping allies

through healing and whatnot,

so Circle of Dreams has enhanced healing abilities.

Also the themes in the subclass

draw both on what we refer to as the Seelie Court

and the Unseelie Court in the Feywild,

so there are things that basically

have to do with both sunlight and moonlight,

and the whole thing is sort of wrapped up

in this package of the Circle of Dreams,

because we're leaning into kind of

the dreaminess, the dreamy side of the Feywild,

and also there's sort of a poetic nod

to the fact that this is the Druid

who brings you comfort, and not only heals you,

but also has abilities to protect your group

while you're taking a rest, and then over

the course of the playtest process,

one of the things I added in to the subclass

that is now in the final version,

is that the Druid can basically

have you travel through dreams,

once the Druid gets up to a high enough level,

by casting a special form of Teleportation Circle

where you teleport to the last location

where you had a long rest on the same

plane of existence, and this is a really

flavorful ability that I'm looking forward

to seeing it being used in campaigns,

because I think some groups are gonna figure out

that this could be a really clever way

to deal with certain obstacles in games,

and also a way, an escape hatch,

but it's also gonna be fun to have

the Circle of Dreams Druid always

need to remember, okay, where's the

last place we took a long rest on this

particular plane of existence?

Now, what that means is when you

visit a plane of existence for the first time,

you have no place to teleport back to,

so basically you've gotta get that

night of rest on each plane of existence,

so essentially you have, all right,

I now have an anchor, a place that I can then

transport us through the dream realm back to,

and as long as you have that place, you have

that hopefully safe place you can go back to.

I can see some DMs messing with the group

if their foes start figuring out

they're doing this, and basically camping out

on the previous long rest locations,

of all right, we've traveled back to that inn

where he had our last long rest, oh look,

the Orcs are waiting for us in our room.

- [Todd] Yeah, that's like the fourth or fifth time

they've used that, someone's gonna figure it out.

- Again, it's a fun, flavorful,

and can potentially be a campaign-defining

kind of ability, so I think people are gonna

have a lot of fun with this subclass.

We know with other Fey and sort of

ancient type themed things that

players really love this stuff, like

people love the Oath of the Ancients

Paladin in the Player's Handbook.

Circle of Dreams very much is meant

to stand side by side with something

like the Oath of the Ancients,

and feel like the kind of thing

like the ancient, cultures associated

with the ancient Druids and with

Elves, that this would be a very

natural role for them to fill.

The Feywild is often perilous, but

the Circle of Dreams Druid is able to

take that magic and use it to their

friends' benefit, not unlike actually

a Fey being, because the Feywild is perilous

often for non-Fey beings, people who are not

native to that strange realm, and so in a way

the Circle of Dreams Druid is like

a Fey creature, in that they're able to

make that Fey magic be helpful, and it

often is, even in a lot of folklore.

To the friends of the Fey, the realm of Faerie

is one of the most wondrous places

you could visit, with wine that is more

delicious than wine anywhere else

in the cosmos, with the deepest sleep

under a tree that you've had anywhere,

even better than the sleep you had

in the softest bed, and so it's really,

the Druid is functioning almost like a Fey being,

in being able to use that magic in that

wonderful, nurturing way, rather than again

being kind of perilous and suspect as so often

the Feywild is to people who visit it.

- The Druid Circle of Dreams is available

in Xanathar's Guide to Everything.

You can purchase that book on dndbeyond.com

by clicking on the link in this video description.

I'm Todd Kenreck, thanks for watching.

A Beginner's Guide to Shakespeare | #BookBreak - Duration: 8:21.

Hello, I'm Ella and I'm here today to give you a very brief introduction to

Shakespeare. Maybe you fancied reading Shakespeare

for a long time? Maybe you studied him at school and you really fancy having

another go or perhaps you're already into

Shakespeare and you'd like to have more of an overview of all of the plays?

Shakespeare wrote a lot of plays when he was alive four hundred years ago. He

wrote 37 in total - that we know about at least - and some of these plays are really

popular still today many of them are performed very regularly; people study

them and people also quote him a lot too. So, here are a few of the ones that I

feel really drawn to and I'll tell you a little bit about what the plays are

about and what I find exciting about them and maybe that'll help you to see

which ones you fancy starting first. So, this is Hamlet which is a play that

you've probably heard of and if not you probably know some of the quotes from it.

We have "to be or not to be", "what a rogue and peasant slave am I?"... a few different

quotes that are very popular still. Hamlet is a tragedy which kind of means

that everybody dies at the end. Shortly before the play begins, Hamlet's father

has died and Hamlet's mother, who is the Queen, has remarried her husband's

brother so Hamlet's uncle. So we have this situation where the court is kind

of in a state of grief but also it's celebrating a wedding which happened

very soon after a funeral so it's all a little bit strange. At the beginning

of the play, Hamlet's father who is also called Hamlet - just to be confusing -

comes to Hamlet as a ghost and he tells him that he was murdered and he was

murdered by his brother and that Hamlet has to enact revenge on his behalf and

so the rest of the play is Hamlet trying to come to terms with with his

father's death and what's happened but also trying to get his uncle to admit

what he's done and to get his mother to see what her new husband has done to her

previous husband. Yeah, as I said in the end everybody dies. A Midsummer Night's

Dream is the next one on my list. This is a much happier play it's a

comedy which as well as having various things to do with genre and structure

it's a happier play it's it's funny not all the way through there are some more

kind of serious parts but overall it's a really nice play. It begins in the court

of Athens where we see an arranged marriage taking place or the

arrangements for this marriage but the lovers aren't in love with the right

people. So they run away into the forest and while things will go a little

bit haywire; there's fairies who are enacting their own kind of mischief and

on the order of his master, Puck, who is a fairy, gives some of the lovers a love

potion and that makes them even more complicated in terms of the love

triangle so everyone's in love with the wrong person and then on top of that we

have this group of... they're kind of workmen, who are amateur performers

in this instance. They really, really want to put on a play; they're trying really

hard they don't quite understand how playing works

they haven't seen many by the look of it but they're taking it really seriously

and when it all comes together at the end when people get married we have the

fairy land or figures itself out the real world kind of figures itself out

and we have this group of amateur performers putting on this hilarious

failure of a play and it's really worth a read and a watch. There's Midsummer

Night's Dream. Give that one a go! Romeo and Juliet is another play that you've

almost definitely heard about and may well have studied at school. It's a very

famous romance: it's another tragedy; everybody dies. The

the idea behind Romeo and Juliet is there are two young people - Romeo and Juliet -

and that they fall in love but they're from different families who have been at

war with each other for a long time and so they can never really be together and

the play we see the meet, we see them fall in love, knowing the whole time that

they're from different families and it will just won't work. Very emotional, you

may well cry. Romeo and Juliet. Julius Caesar is another very popular play

slightly different one this one. We're set in Ancient Rome this time. So, we have

Julius Caesar who is a major figure in Ancient Rome and the play is about the

assassination of Caesar and what happened afterwards and what happens in

the run-up to this assassination. So, what's really interesting about this

play; it's called Julius Caesar but who you

would think to be kind of the main character - Julius Caesar - is killed off

around halfway through and so he is not present for the second half of the play

at all which might be a bit confusing but like I said what's interesting about

the play is that it actually plays around with the kind of morals around

what's happened and why it happened and what happens as a result of the

assassination. So, there's a group of conspirators who are the other powerful

people in Rome and they come together and they feel that Caesar is getting too

powerful and it would be best for the nation if he was removed and so his

former friends and colleagues decide that the best thing to do for the people

would be to assassinate Caesar but then what we see after the assassination is

we see this group of people trying to come to terms with what they've done and

also you know Rome kind of begins to fall apart

and democracy falls apart as well. So, finally, here is Henry V. This is the

last one I'm gonna talk about today. Henry V is a history play which

means that Shakespeare actually tells a historical story. He adapts stories that

existed at the time and he tells us about familiar historical figures and

this play is about King Henry V... which makes a lot of sense by the

title. It's actually the third play in a trilogy and we actually see King

Henry when he's a prince before he becomes king and that's in play is

called Henry the fourth part one and Henry the fourth part two and that's the

story of Prince Henry or Prince Howe as we know him add up with coming of age

becoming an adult and really learning how to rule. Then in Henry V

we see him at his prime, we see him during the war between England and France and

we see him winning the Battle of Agincourt. We see battle scenes we see

some really intimate court scenes as well and at the end we see him fall in

love with his then wife so it's a really good play. It's a really solid play that

one definitely worth a read.

What I love most about Shakespeare I think is the

stories themselves. It's the way that when I think about

Shakespeare play I get a really strong impression of what it's about and the

story itself and the characters that are part of that story and I think something

that always amazes me is how current all of these stories still feel and how

relatable the characters still are even though they were written so long ago and

I think that's what really appeals to a lot of people and it's also why

Shakespeare is still so popular today. If you go into the theater there is very

very often a Shakespeare play or several being staged and it's because there are

so many recognizable problems being looked at in the plays and that's partly

why we still read them and why we still study them today and why we can still

get benefit from them. Shakespeare really does different things for different

people: if you fancy one of the the plays I've told you about today then try

reading it and if you enjoy that try reading another one you could follow

similar genres so if you enjoy Hamlet; you could try King Lear, which is another

one of Shakespeare's epic tragedies that are for many people his best play. If you

enjoy reading A Midsummer Night's Dream you can try Twelfth Night which is another

kind of love triangle comedy and with shipwrecks and all kinds of things and

if you enjoy Henry V, try Richard the third or one of Shakespeare's other

history plays because he's written lots of those as well. So there are so many options

have a look at some of the blurbs of the plays online. If you see a film, try

watching that and see if you enjoyed the story and the language as well and if

you see it advertised as well go and see it live because one of my favorite

things to do is to see Shakespeare live. So, thank you very much for watching. If

you've got a favorite play, post it in the comments below, it'd be great to hear

what you think. Happy reading! Thank you very much, bye.

The Best Places in Toyama | japan-guide.com - Duration: 10:18.

Toyama prefecture lies along the Sea of Japan

a unique location with a large coastline as well as mountain ranges that make up a majority of its interior

here you can find traditional farmhouses tucked away in hidden mountain villages

a stunning route that cuts through the heart of the Japan Alps

one of the country's deepest gorges

and a multitude of other experiences worth going for.

On this trip we're going to attempt to explore Toyama prefecture's most captivating attractions in four days

Here's the plan

we start our journey by taking the shinkansen to Toyama prefecture

On the first day we'll visit Kurobe Gorge and stay in Unazuki Onsen at the entrance of the gorge

On day 2 we head over to the remote village of Ainokura and spend the night there in a traditional farmhouse

The third and fourth days will be spent traversing the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine route

with a night stay at its highest point before going home on day four.

My name is Raina Ong, staff writer for japan-guide.com

and today I'm on assignment uncovering the best places to go in Toyama.

Day 1

To get to Kurobe Gorge, we'll first take the Hokuriku shinkansen from Tokyo to Kurobe-Unazukionsen Station.

From there we're going to transfer to local trains to Unazuki Onsen town the entry point into the gorge

Then we'll take the Kurobe Railway as far as possible into the gorge to Keyakidaira Station

explore a bit

and then head back to spend the night in Unazuki Onsen Town.

We're at Unazuki Station and we're going to be taking that cute orange train over there into the Kurobe Gorge and back

The Kurobe Gorge is the deepest v-shaped gorge in Japan

and some say the view at the gorge is pretty gorgeous

So this rock wall over here is known as the "hito kui iwa"

which is, when translated, becomes "man eating cave."

I'm staying in a ryokan tonight in this beautiful Japanese room

and tonight's dinner will be a multi-course meal

and I'm looking forward to it

Day 2

After a relaxing night at Unazuki Onsen

today we'll take the train to Shin-Takaoka here a direct bus will take us to the remote village of Ainokura

where we will explore the quaint town and stay overnight in one of the farmhouses

It's day two and we're at an Ainokura one of the villages where you can see

traditional Japanese gassho zukuri farm houses like the ones you see around me

Gassho zukuri is a style of construction where the steep thatched roofs are said to resemble hands in prayer

The best way to depreciate Ainokura is to stay at one of the farm houses

and that's what I'll be doing tonight

Day three

Today we bid farewell to our farmhouse and travel back to Toyama station to begin our traverse of the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine route

It is a spectacular journey carved through the northern Japan Alps connecting Toyama and Nagano Prefecture

will be taking different modes of transport to complete the route starting with the train at Toyama station followed by a cable car

then bus

tunnel trolley bus

ropeway

another cable car

and lastly a tunnel trolley bus once more

However today, we'll only be going as far as the midpoint at Murodo and spend the night there

I took this train from

Toyama all the way to Tateyama station where I am now

and today we're going to the highest point on the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine route

We boarded the the bus in the cloud, but here Murodo we've broken through them

and behind me over there, that's mount Tateyama where it's the highest mountain in the region

Day four

Our last day is relatively easy

We complete the rest of the Alpine route

see Kurobe Dam along the way

and then head home

We're at Kurobe Dam, our last stop for this trip

and fun fact the dam is also Japan's tallest at 186 meters

Thus ends our whirlwind tour of Toyama

I hope this video has been enjoyable and perhaps even inspires you to experience Toyama for yourself

Using the Business Subject Guide - Duration: 10:19.

One of the most helpful resources for students on a library homepage are the subject guides

For students studying business the business subject guide is very helpful

Let me show you how to get to the business subject guide. If you're on the library homepage,

click on subject guides in the middle area, the Tab.

If you're from the Brooklyn Campus click on McEntegart subject guides,

and if you're from the Long Island Campus click on Callahan's subject guides

Now choose business on the left hand side.

See, we even have subheadings such as Accounting and Finance, Business Administration,

Economics, Global Business, and Marketing.

For the purpose of this tutorial we will choose Business Administration.

The rest of the guides function in the same manner as the one I'm about to show you,

so we only really need to look at one and you can explore the other ones on your own.

My recommendation to all users of the guides, which are created by librarians using LibGuide software,

is that you follow the tabs across the guide to conduct your research effectively

You can find books right from the guide,

you can find articles using databases can find websites recommended by librarians,

statistical information, associations and information on how to cite your sources.

So now let's go to the home page again, of the guide, and there are several RSS feeds from which you can find

a lot of really up to date information

CNN Business News, New York Times Business,

and if you scroll down to the right you'll have the Wall Street Business Management News.

This information is all right here for you and can be very helpful when you're in a time crunch yet

need to be up-to-date information in the business world.

Now for the next tab labeled 'books'.

You can actually stay on this guide, and search for books in the Library Catalog or ebooks or DVDs.

There is no need to go back to the library homepage if you would like to stay in the guide.

This is a one-stop shop

If you remember in an earlier tutorial in this orientation we search for books on business ethics.

You could type in the words 'business ethics' right in this box

and click on go and get a list of materials on that subject.

You can also use the advanced features of the catalog from here as well.

Also under this tab if you scroll down the librarians here offer a bibliography of books and reference and name

which is circulating collections on the topic and subtopics of 'business'

but only a sampling of what we have we couldn't possibly list everything it wouldn't be practical.

So here you can see the 'Concise Encyclopedia of Economics', the 'Encyclopedia of Management',

International Encyclopedia of Organization Studies, etc.

these are reference books that do not leave the library and as you scroll down you can see circulating books

that can leave the library as checked out on your ID

Class with Drucker, Managing, the AMA handbook of Leadership, etc.

Now, if you scroll up a little bit and look on the left hand side

you can see the different call numbers associated with the field of business.

For example HD4801 to HD8943 covers labor work and the working class

HF5410 to HF5417 covers marketing and HG covers finance.

These are the call numbers that indicate where an item is located within the library

we talked about that in the finding books and ebooks section.

One of the key tabs on this guide is articles/databases

This section first tells you what a database is.

Library's databases are online catalogs or indexes that contain information

about journal, magazine, and newspaper articles.

You can search these databases to find information about specific topics.

Databases provide citation information for each article and often include an abstract or summary of the article.

You know that from earlier tutorials and/or from your studies at the undergraduate level,

but I just wanted to point that out because not everybody is always sure what a database is

and you pay for the databases via your tuition.

If you find an article that you cannot seem to get full text right there in front of you,

you can use our interlibrary loan system, which we'll talk about later to retrieve the article if we can get it for you.

Now, I do want to point out before I go on the Harvard Business Review Advisory here.

Please read it when you get a chance, it is very important.

As you scroll down right in the middle of the page is a list of all the different databases that we recommend

for you to use for your business research.

You'll notice that ABI/Inform Complete is at the top.

This is merely because it's an alphabetical list however

I did want to show you how easy it is to get to via the business guide

so that you can reach it later when you are following the tutorial for finding an article in abi/inform complete

the Proquest database. Proquest is just a company that owns ABI/Inform Complete.

Now what I don't want you to forget about are

another subset of databases as you scroll back up and you go to article databases

Business Administration was your first option

then, Industries and Corporations. I click there, another set of databases appears on the left hand side

Country Watch, Credo Reference, Hoover's, Hoover's there will be a tutorial on this database.

It's very important it includes detailed company fact sheets, coverage of Industries,

information about executives, financial statements Etc, so please remember how to get to Hoovers.

Here is to find the article section. If you have previously viewed the

"I already have a citation does the library carry this journal" tutorial,

you have learned that you can use the journal locator tab from the library page to find out if

the library subscribes to a particular journal magazine or newspaper for which you already have a citation

you type the name of the publication in the search box and if the library carries it

a database or list of databases will appear. If you're already in this business subject guide however

You can click right in this box and do the same thing. You don't have to jump out of the guide.

So again, this is like a one-stop shop

Under the Websites Tab moving along in the tabs to the right,

You can see what websites the librarians have put here to recommend for doing research in your field

such as the Drucker Institute,

Global Edge which is on the left hand side.

Note that the librarians also do provide for you here within this tab at the beginning

criteria for evaluating websites on your own websites that you've gone out on the open web and

found and are trying to determine whether or not to use in a research paper.

You want to analyze the websites for their authority, accuracy, currency, relevancy, and purpose.

Going back up

It also contains information on how to cite sources properly in APA style,

as well as links to guides on how to paraphrase

[HEALTHL]Strength Training Equipment: A User's Guide - Duration: 4:19.

Strength Training Equipment: A User's Guide

According to the latest recommendations from the American Council on Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Heart Association, you should be including strength training twice a week as part of your overall fitness routine.

Research shows that strength exercises are safe for all ages and that strength training combined with aerobic exercise can improve your physical and mental health. The Benefits of Strength Training.

Strength training is important for everybody, but even more so for older adults because it can slow down the loss of bone and muscle that goes along with aging. Lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes.

Better balance and fall prevention. You can get strength training from calisthenics, free weights, machines, and other types of equipment. The important thing is to exercise all the major muscle groups including your arms, legs, back, and stomach.

The muscles around your center, called your core muscles, are especially important to target since they stabilize the rest of your body.

Strength training is usually divided into sets and repetitions. Repetitions, or reps, are the number of times you do an exercise.

A group of repetitions — usually between 8 and 15 — is called a set. If you are able to do more than one set of an exercise, always rest for a few minutes between sets.

The ACSM recommends 8 to 10 strength training exercises of 8 to 10 repetitions each, twice a week. Strength Training Equipment Options.

The type of strength-training equipment you use will depend on your individual needs and preferences. Here are the key choices:. Barbells are long bars with weights attached at the ends. Dumbbells are smaller, hand-held weights.

The advantages of free weights are that they are inexpensive and versatile. The disadvantage is that they require proper training and technique to get the full benefit and avoid injury.

Machines. Strength training with machines is as effective as free weights, plus machines have the advantage of being safer and easier to use.

Since strength training machines are designed to exercise specific muscle groups, you can get a faster, more efficient workout by moving from machine to machine.

The disadvantage is that machines are not portable and can be expensive, so you may be limited to using exercise machines at a gym.

For home use, you might investigate an all-in-one machine that has different pulleys and stations attached, allowing you to work various muscle groups with a single piece of equipment.

These strength-training devices look like overgrown, colorful beach balls, but can be very effective pieces of exercise equipment.

By learning exercises that involve body curves and rolls using different positions on the stability ball, you can strengthen the important core muscles of your body. The advantage of the stability ball is that it is inexpensive and adaptable to many uses.

The disadvantage is that you need some training and you may need an expert opinion to be sure you buy a ball of the right size and pressure to fit your needs and abilities.

Body bars are foam-covered weights that may be used in a total body workout class to combine aerobic exercise with strength training.

After you learn the exercises, you can use a body bar when you exercise at home, too — they are relatively inexpensive. Body bars are available in different weights to fit your strength and ability.

Because they are about 4 feet long, they can be cumbersome to carry around, so they are not ideal to travel with. Bands are portable and inexpensive. Basically, they are just big elastic bands with different degrees of tension.

Though the bands themselves weigh almost nothing, by working your muscle groups against the resistance of the bands you develop muscle strength and endurance.

Once you learn how to use them, you can do the exercises anywhere with just a chair for support.

You do need to learn the proper technique for each exercise, and as you strength increases, you will need to graduate to stronger sets of resistance bands.

Kettlebells. This fitness tool was developed in Russia for use in strength training and aerobic exercise to work all muscle groups at the same time.

The Russian kettlebell looks like a cannonball with a handle and is another form of exercise equipment that is inexpensive and versatile. A kettlebell workout is high-intensity and involves full range of motion.

It requires the ability to stretch and be flexible, so you will need some training and time to work up to a full routine.

If you have any health issues, or if you have not done strength training before, you should check with your doctor before getting started.

Remember that using any kind of strength-training equipment requires proper training to get the all the benefits and avoid hurting yourself.

Once you have been properly trained, you can begin to enjoy the many mental and physical benefits of adding strength training to your fitness routine.
