Youtube daily report Jan 1 2019

This is Svalbard.

A group of islands belonging to Norway

Above the Arctic Circle

Home to about two thousand seven hundred people

except not all of them are Norwegian.

This isn't much of a surprise, since in today's globalized world,

all you need is a tourist visa, a student visa or a work visa

to live in any other country.

Except, none of the non-Norwegians on Svalbard have a visa because

You don't need a visa to live in Svalbard.

In a world where countries love their borders, how did this come to be?

The story starts all the way back in 1596,

when Willem Barentz, a Dutch explorer,

discovered a bunch of islands above the Arctic Circle

while trying to find an alternative route to China.

He sees the largest island, names it Spitsbergen and

Boom, it's on all Dutch maps near you.

Fast forward a couple of hundred years,

and this region is now a base for whaling, fishing and mining.

Since there is no Government, and therefore no laws or regulations

the resources become a target for several Northern European countries,

a list dominated by the Netherlands, Russia, Norway and of course, England.

Some countries said they owned Spitsbergen

some countries said nobody owned Spitsbergen

and whenever there are resource laden territories in dispute

and European Empires

there are trade wars

political deadlocks

and huge, huge gun boats.

Soon enough, the twentieth century arrived and along for the ride came:

The war began and the war ended

and the winners rushed to Paris to sign the Treaty of Versailles with Germany

officially ending the war.

As a result, we got the beta unstable version of the United Nations

The League of Nations.

They had a long todo list, one that included

> Shaft Germany for "being the bad guys"

but more imporantly, an item that said

> Try to not take over everyone else thanks

They had seen how the smallest events could spark

the deadliest of wars and

oh look at this tiny place that's been

the focus of international conflict for centuries.

So when it came to the League to find a way to resolve the disputes they went,

"Hmm, I wonder who would be the perfect candidate to give this piece of land to.

If only we had a fairly harmless European country

that was famously neutral during the war."

"Wait, me?"

And on the 9th of February, 1920

The Spitsbergen Treaty was created

effectively handing over the

entirety of Spitsbergen to Norway, with some conditions.

There was an article in the treaty

which is why this video exists.

The treaty allows all citizens of all the countries

that signed the treaty to live, fish, hunt and

use all natural resources that Spitsbergen contains

as long as they don't break Norwegian law.

A couple of years after the treaty was signed

Norway passed an act

The Svalbard Act

in their own parliament.

As the name suggests

the first thing they did was rename the whole region to Svalbard

and relegated Spitsbergen to the name of the largest island of the archipelago.

Next, they installed a local Government

appointed a Governor

and established laws and regulations for the place

which included restrictions and quotas

to prevent abuse of the natural resources.

Also, while one of the conditions in the treaty says that

the whole region needs to be demilitarized

Norway is allowed to have a coast guard that watches over the fishes

to make sure that nobody breaks the other conditions of the treaty

making sure that the natural environment is protected.

And finally, they extended the part of the treaty that

allows people to live in Svalbard freely

to the entire world

including countries that haven't signed the treaty

That being said, when the Norwegian Parliament announced their

"Everyone can come here no problem" act

we almost missed the asterisk right next to the "Everyone".

Buuuuut

I'm going to stop myself right there

because history is interesting

dissection of visa policies...

...not so much...

at least not in the same video

so I'm going keep that for another day

for another video

So there you have it!

A group of islands

rich with resources

fought over frequently

by rich countries

until an organization wanted to put an end to that

so that they don't risk starting

another war

by allowing anyone to live there

except when they can't.

If you're interested in why

_this_ statement is only _technically_ correct

well, you're just going to have to wait.

And while you're waiting why not like this video

Web Development - FAQ Round Up - Part Five - Duration: 1:49.

so this is a pretty broad question I guess the question you have to ask

yourself is is it performing the way you want it to perform if you're trying to

convert people are they actually converting and then you can ask yourself

is it a good website it's something that you could work out yourself pretty

quickly and if it's not performing the way that you think it should be then

there's probably a good chance that it's not a good website so there could be a

few reasons as to why that's happening the first one would be that your website

hasn't been BETT live for very long the second one could be that somebody

else actually ranks better for your brand name than you do so it might be

that you have a brand name that's quite common and then they outrank you for

that keyword that is actually something that happens quite a lot and the other

one could be that you have a Google penalty and you are actually de-indexed

which means that you just weren't showing Google ever so wicks and

Squarespace are very similar in the way that they provide an option for users so

they'll provide a way for you to upload a website and create it yourself you

have custom elements and they're all quite good for new users WordPress is

more of a custom solution so you'd be looking at more of a web designer doing

it you could do it yourself but it would be more difficult and would require to

learn certain things about the platform and about coding websites in general

Instant Pleats?! Testing "The Ruffler" - Duration: 6:31.

- I'm obsessed with how cool this is.

That took like 30 seconds.

(whirring)

This is awesome.

(hip hop music)

Hello, what's sewing on?

Welcome back.

Today I'm gonna be showing you this tool here.

It's not your regular presser foot.

In fact, it looks almost like some Victorian

steam punk contraption, but it is a presser foot.

And it is called The Ruffler.

That was my dramatic voice.

Quick disclaimer, this tool was provided to me

free by Bernina, but the idea of making this video

was all my own.

They're not paying me for this promotion or anything.

So while I got it for free,

I do genuinely think this tool is amazing

and I wanna tell you all about it.

I'll be using Bernina's The Ruffler,

but always make sure that you're using a sewing foot

compatible with your own machine.

Okay, let's get started.

So the idea of The Ruffler is that it creates pleats

or gathers automatically.

Now this thing does look technical af,

and I've had a few gos on it already

just to get my head around it.

I've made one garment so far using it.

So let's see if I can remember how to do all this.

So this is what it looks like.

So you can either pleat one layer at a time,

or you can even attach two layers

and pleat the top layer.

I just cut up some long cotton strips

from my scrap box to test it out.

Let's do one layer at a time first.

So these numbers here on the very top of the foot,

they show that you can do a pleat every

one, six, or 12 stitches.

You just lift it up to change it.

I'm gonna set it to one first.

So that's a pleat every stitch.

Let's do this.

Slide it through here.

(vaudeville music)

So doing a pleat every single stitch makes it very gathered.

How easy was that?

Okay, now I'm gonna show you what it looks like

if you do a pleat every six stitches.

Okay, so you change this dial here to every six.

And let's get a new bit of fabric.

Put it underneath.

(fun music)

So this was one pleat every six stitches.

As you can see, this is definitely

more of a knife pleated effect,

while doing a pleat every stitch

creates more of a gathered ruffled effect.

And we could make them deeper, or closer together,

or further apart by customizing the stitch length

and turning the little dial on the side of the Ruffler foot.

Now let's just change it to every 12,

just to compare.

(whirring)

Whoa, hold up, that was wack.

Speeding this footage up eight times

makes it look like the pleats are appearing out of nowhere.

I gotta replay that.

(whirring)

Okay, that is, what?

Anyway, back to the video.

So this was one pleat every 12 stitches

which turned out a little bit weird

because the depth of the pleats is fairly shallow,

but the fact that you can do one every 12 stitches

leads to some really interesting ideas for customization.

Another really cool thing that you can do

is sew two layers together and pleat just one

on top of the other one.

I'll show you what I mean.

So you want one piece to be a lot longer

than the other piece.

We've got a short piece and a long piece here.

The short one, the one that isn't going to be pleated

or ruffled, that just goes below underneath the foot

and then the one to be pleated should be longer

than that piece, 'cause it's gonna be all pleated

and gathered up, that slips in through this top layer

of the Ruffler foot.

Okay, ready?

(whirring)

So what that did was attach the two together

while also pleating this top layer.

And you can imagine if you did two fabrics'

right sides together, you can make a seam

and a pleated layer at the same time.

So easy, right?

I'm obsessed with how cool this is.

That took like 30 seconds.

You can also customize the heck out of it.

So I did a bunch of little samples for you all

on the six setting, one pleat every six stitches.

And what I did was modify both the stitch length

and the depth of the pleats using this screw.

So you can see the differences that makes.

First, changing the stitch length.

If you change the stitch length,

it changes how spaced apart the pleats are.

So this one here is a short stitch length.

This is a regular stitch length.

And this is a long stitch length.

Second, changing the screw thingy at the front.

If you turn this screw to the left,

it makes it looser and the pleats are more shallow.

Turn it to the right, it makes it tighter

and the pleats become more deep.

See how the deep ones are really more like knife pleats.

So not only can you change how often The Ruffler pleats,

changing things like stitch length and depth,

it's given us a lot of customizations.

So The Ruffler really does save you a lot of time.

Pleating something by hand takes me a good hour.

Doing gathers by hand, takes me at least 20 to 30 minutes.

Depending on the length of the fabric,

The Ruffler takes maybe 30 seconds to a minute

to pleat a piece of fabric.

The Ruffler doesn't come cheap.

I have mostly seen it for new for around $100.

For a proper one, not a cheap off-brand one,

which might not work so well with your machine.

So it is an investment.

You wouldn't want to get this

if you're only going to use it on one project.

You should probably only get it if you're going to be doing

ruffles or gathers or pleats like all the time.

If you have a sewing business where you do that

absolutely you should get one.

It is a no-brainer.

It just saves so much time

and makes pleating and gathering so simple.

So let me know, have you ever tried

gathering or pleating by hand?

And would you enjoy using one of these?

I feel so lucky to have been able to try it out.

It is so much fun.

And it makes me want to do gathers and pleats

in just more of my clothing projects

because it's so fun to do.

If you enjoyed this video,

please give me a thumbs up.

Let me know if you'd like to see

more useful craft tool reviews.

And I will see you all in my next video.
