When Bob talked about naming something, you know, after a person in the honor that your university has bestowed on you, I think that's right. But what he failed to say is you should earn that right. And Kathy and I purchased the right, but we didn't earn it. But there are two people here who I'm getting children. There are two people here who have earned that right. And they're right over here. Margaret Strand and Brent Harding. I give you the Strand Harding Adaptive Athletic Award. I just want to say that I'm really thankful for the opportunity to be here. It's not something that Margaret and I have done. It's something that has been a labor of love for, you know, our own program. Starting with our students from the very first students that were here and presidents in our administration.  I think it's important to me that everybody realizes this isn't a destination for us. We didn't reach a finish line today. This is just the beginning. It's been an amazing journey and bigger than I ever imagined. And you all have helped us to become more than I ever thought that we could do. And I want to say thank you to all of you. And I usually don't cry, but you too. So thank you for believing in our dream and growing our dream and furthering our dream. And I would encourage you and for you to make new dreams for other people because we can build more.


Hello, and welcome to theCUBE. We are here live on the ground in the expo floor of a live event, the AWS Public Sector Summit. I'm John Furrier, your host of theCUBE. We're here for the next two days, wall-to-wall coverage. I'm here with Sandy Carter to kick off the event. Vice President and partners at AWS Public Sector. Great to see you, Sandy. So great to see you're John live and in person, right? I'm excited. I'm jumping out of my chair because I did a Twitter periscope yesterday and said a live event and all the comments are, oh my God, an expo floor. A real event. So congratulations. That's right, it's very true. Yeah, we're so excited. Yesterday we had our partner day and we sold out the event. It was rock'em and pack'em and we had to turn people away. So what a great experience, right? Well, I'm excited. People are actually happy. We tried, we tried covered Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Still people were there. People felt good here. Same vibe. People are excited to be in person. You got all your partners here. You guys had an amazing year. Congratulations. We did a couple of awards show with you guys. But I think the big story is the Amazon services for the partners, public sector, has been a real game changer. I mean, we talked about it before, but again, it continues to happen. What's the update? Yeah, well we had, so there's lots of announcements. So let me start out with some really cool growth things because I know you're a big growth guy. So we announced here at the conference yesterday that our government competency program for partners is now the number one industry in AWS for our, the competency. That's a huge deal. Government is growing so fast. We saw that during the pandemic, everybody was moving to the cloud. And it's just affirmation with the government competency now taking that number one position across AWS. So not across public sector, across AWS. And then one of our fastest growing areas as well as healthcare. So we now have an ATO, authority to operate for HIPAA and high trust. And that's now our fastest growing area with 85% growth. So I love that new news about the growth that we're seeing in public sector and all the energy that's going into the cloud and beyond. You know, one of the things, and again, we talked about it before in another CUBE interview, but I want to get your reaction now, current and state of the art now in a moment. The pandemic has highlighted the antiquated outdated systems and highlighted how inadequate they are. Cloud, you guys have done an amazing job to stand up value quickly. Now we're in a hybrid world. So you got hybrid, automation, AI, driving complete change. And it's happening pretty quick. What's the new things that you guys are seeing that's emerging? Obviously, if you have steady state of more growth, but like what's the big success programs that you're seeing right now? Well, there's a few new programs that we're seeing that have really taken off. So one is called ProServe Ready. We announced yesterday that it's now GA in the US and Amia. And why that's so important is that our ProServe team, a lot of times when they're doing contracts, they run out of resources. And so they need to tap on the shoulder some partners to come and help them. And the customer has told us that they wanted them to be ProServe Ready. So to have that badge of honor, if you would, that they're using the same templates, the same best practices that we use as well. And so we're seeing that as a big value creator for our partners, but also for our customers. Because now those partners are being trained by AWS and really helping to be mentored like on the job training as they go. It's a very powerful program. Well, one of the things I'm really impressed by, and I talked to some of your MSP partners on the floor here as they walk by, they see the cube, they're all doing well. They're all happy. They got to spring in their step. And the thing is that this public-private partnerships is a real trend. We've been talking about it for a while. More people in the public sector are saying, hey, I need a commercial relationship, not the old school, we're public, we have all these rules, there's more collaboration. Can you share your thoughts on how you see that evolving? Because now the partners in the public sector are partnering closer than ever before. Yeah, it's really, I think it's really fascinating because a lot of our new partners are actually commercial partners that are now choosing to add a public sector practice with them. And I think a lot of that is because of these public and private partnerships. So let me give you an example, space. So we were at the Space Symposium. Our first time ever for AWS at the Space Symposium. And what we found was there were partners there like Orbital Insight, who's bringing data from satellites. They're a public sector partner. But that data is being used for insurance companies, being used for agriculture, being used to impact environment. So I think a lot of those public-private partnerships are strengthening as we go through COVID or hopefully getting out of COVID. And we do see a lot of push in that area. Talk about healthcare, because healthcare is, again, changing radically. We talk to customers all the time, and they're like, they have a lot of legacy systems, but they can't just throw them away. So Cloud Native aligns well with healthcare. It does, and in fact, if you think about healthcare, most healthcare, they don't build solutions themselves. They depend on partners to build them. So they do, the customer does a buy and the partner does the build. So it's a great and exciting area for our partners. We just launched a new program called the Mission Accelerator Program. It's in beta. And that program is really fascinating because our healthcare partners, our government partners, and more now can use these accelerators that maybe isolate a common area like digital analytics for healthcare. And they can reuse those. So it's pretty, I think it's really exciting today as we think about the potential healthcare and beyond. You know, one of the challenges that I always thought you had that you guys do a good job on, I'd love to get your reaction to now is, there's more and more people who want to partner with you than ever before. And sometimes it hasn't always been easy in the old days, like to get FedRAMP certified or even deal with public sector if you were a commercial vendor. You guys have done a lot with accelerating certifications. Where are you on that spectrum now? What's the next wave of partner onboarding or what's the partner trends around the opportunities in public sector? Well, one of the new things that we announced, we had tested it out in the US. You know, that's the Amazon way, right? Andy's way. You test it, you experiment it. If it works, you roll it out. We have a concierge program now to help a lot of those new partners get inundated into public sector.  Just like at a hotel, I would go up and say, hey, can you direct me to the right restaurant or to the right museum? We do the same thing. We hand hold people through that process. If you don't want to do that, we also have a new program called Navigate, which is built for brand new partners. And what that enables our partners to do is to kind of be guided through that process. So you are right. We have so many partners now who want to come and grow with us that it's really essential that we provide them a great partner experience to have on board. Yeah, and the APN was the Amazon Partner Network. Also has a lot of crossover. You see a lot of that going on because the cloud, it's, you can do both. Absolutely. And I think it's really, we leverage all of the APN programs that exist today. So for example, there was just a new program that was put out for a growth rebate and that was driven by the APN and we're leveraging and using that in public sector too. So there's a lot of cross use going on to make it easier for our partners to do business with us. So I have to ask you on a personal note, I know we've talked about before, you're very comfortable with the virtual now hybrid space. How's your team doing? How's the structure look like? What are your goals? What are you excited about? Well, I think I have the greatest team ever. So of course I'm excited about our team and we are working in this new hybrid world. So it is a change for everybody. The other day we had some people in the office and some people calling in virtually. So how to manage that was really quite interesting. Our goals that we align our whole team around and we talked a little bit about this yesterday are around mission, which are these solution areas, migration, so getting everything to the cloud and then in the cloud we talk about modernization. Are you going to use AIML or IoT? And we actually just announced a new program around that too to help out IoT partners to really build and understand that data that's coming in from IoT. IDC says that that IoT data has increased by four times during the COVID period. So there's so many more partners who need help there. There's a huge shift going on. We always try to explain it on theCUBE and Dave and I talk about it a lot and it's you replatform with the cloud, which is not just lift and shift, you kind of move and then replatform, then refactoring your business. And there's a nuance there between replatforming, which is great, take advantage of cloud scale, but the refactoring allows for this unique advantage of these high level services. That's right. And this is where people are winning. What's your reaction to that? Oh, I completely agree. I think this whole area of modernizing your application, like we have a lot of folks who are doing mainframe migrations. And to your point, if they just lift what they had in Kobo and they move it to AWS, there's really not a lot of value there, but when they rewrite the code, when they refactor the code, that's where we're seeing tremendous breakthrough momentum with our partner community. Deloitte is one of our top partners with our mainframe migration. They have both our technology and our consulting mainframe migration competency there, too. One of the other things I think you would be interested in is in our session yesterday, we just completed some research with our CTOs and we talked about the next meta trends that are coming around Web 3.0. And I'm sure you've been hearing a lot about Web 3.0, right? Yeah, 3.0, 4.0, it's all moving to, I mean fast. I mean, it's moving fast. And so some of the things we talked to our partners about yesterday are like the metaverse that's coming. So you talked about healthcare. Yesterday, electronic caregiver announced an entire application for virtual caregivers in the metaverse. We talked about blockchain and the rise of blockchain. Yesterday we had a whole set of meetings. Everybody was talking about blockchain because now you've got El Salvador, Panama, Ukraine, who have all adopted Bitcoin, which is built on the blockchain. So there are some really exciting things going on in technology and public sector. It's a societal shift and I think the confluence of tech, user experience, data, new decentralized ways is changing society, you're the middle of it. We are and our partners are in the middle of it and data, data, data, data, that's what I would say. Everybody's using data. You and I even talked about how you guys are using data. Data is really a hot topic and we're really trying to help our partners figure out not just how to migrate the data to the cloud, but also to use that analytics and machine learning on it too. Well thanks for sharing the data here on our opening segment, the insights we will be getting out of them, it'll be great. Sandy, great to see you. We've got a couple more interviews with you. So thanks for coming on. Appreciate you and thanks for all your support. You guys are doing great. Your partners are happy. You're on a great wave. Congratulations. Thank you, John. Appreciate it. Okay, more coverage from theCUBE here. Data is public sector summit. We'll be right back.


So, okay, anyone who's used Streams and knows that it's in and he asks, not to mirror things but how it works. The short version is Streams model and Node is essentially pushed. You have, you know, the data provider, the data consumer. The data provider is basically just shoving data at the consumers, right? There is a version of the back pressure. The state model is involved is rather complicated and we can't separate the state model from the implementation. There's three versions of Streams that are all going to overlap each other in the API. There's a lot of crux that has come into this. There's not only three versions at the JavaScript level. There's also at the native level the Stream-based class that underlies stuff and there's complexity in terms of how it works. And the native flow that goes back and forth, makes work there. There's the Streams pipe method, right? We can pass and test the data down for a series of Streams transforms, right? That doesn't work as a native layer. I know Ann has been, you know, just looking at that a little bit to see if we can get a native pipe going to make the data flowing and make it even more efficient. There's just, over the years, it's been, the Stream-based API has just gotten cropped here, right? Was it two years ago, two or five years ago? Yeah, where it started. A few of us got together and we had lunch at Interactive two years ago at Vancouver. We started taking around these ideas for this new Streams API. And somebody asked, what are we going to call it? And somebody suggested Bob. So it's Bob, Streams API. Jeremiah has been the one, primarily pushing it forward because the rest of us that were talking about it, just got distracted and he was the only one that, you know, it's done fantastically to work. But reaching a point now where in order to move it forward, we need to expand it and those of us that were talking about it, I can help. And then if anyone else wants to help out with it, then we just want to kind of give a basic idea of how it works. So, you ready to go? Not really. I'm going to keep talking. Sure. Like the presentation that I have modified. The way that you're going to go into the details of the difference is with Bob is that it's entirely full based on not a push. You have a sink and a source. The source is providing the data, but the sink has to be pulled, right? It has to say when it's ready. And the state model is greatly simplified that, you know, you only have the one read, right? And if you read, there's no data available to tell you right away. If it's an error reading, it will tell you right away. There's very few state transitions as you were actually reading the data. And part of it is it emphasizes being memory stable. So, rather than the source allocating memory and then pushing it and then the receiver having the copy data, right? Or notified of this course when it's done, the puller would allocate the source for it. And the source would basically write it as storage. So the intent is to hopefully reduce the number of men copies that actually happen. I can't get the other micrometer work. So I guess I'm just going to go over this. So, James, I kind of give an intro and this is kind of just the end. This is slides that I modified from Vancouver last time. Yeah, I share this on the screen. I don't know how. You can just look into the Zoom group. Zoom, where? Zoom, you start Zoom. You go to issue number 171 on the subject. I think that's easier than you think of the thing. So yeah, James kind of like one of the things a little bit. So this is kind of a modified presentation from last time. But it's because somewhat limited progress has been made since then, but it's still very interesting and saying that we can still continue to discuss regardless of that. So I'm going to go over like the slides that I do have. Perhaps a little bit more quickly than last time. I think you have a little bit more time to spend, but we'll try to discuss some things around them. So Bob, yeah, we went over why it's called that and future questions with the streams or stream like things. So I have some stuff here. There's kind of like why I think James said a little bit of that and I had a little bit of a lay of the tools, API, the status and stuff to discuss. So why reinvent streams? You might know why here, but the user experience is really bad. People run into problems all the time. We hear about it all the time. I don't think this is a surprise to very many of us at this point. And three performances. We knew that too.  So things that I'm calling a consumer were saying is the API end point where data goes to and a producer or the source is the API and where the data comes from. And the protocol is a combination. So the goal of this effort is to make a protocol really. It's pull based. It is binary online. So if you don't need to worry about logic mode. Where's Jane? Thank you. The stateless as much as we can get to. So any state is in protocol. We got this wild state gene. There is as one to one as possible. There's no event bidders. Because those also. It's very important. There is also timing. As much as we can get it so that we don't need to worry about next six and events like you currently do. No buffer in the protocol. So we would like the underlying classes to not have buffering logic and any buffering that is done. It should be done in components where it actually needs to be done rather than all the time. And also there should be able to be in line and sort of like ends or ends of files. She'll also be able to be in line message. So I make a current proposed API and unfortunately is late in the day. And I'm still going to show you code which I regret, but that's what it is. So the same API of this essentially looks like this. Thankfully it's rather simple code. There's a method to kind of bind things together. The same to the source. So you get the protocol and then on the same, which is the thing that is going to be receiving the data. You have a next method, which is what the source is going to call. And that can be filled out a bit more. So this actually more or less kind of like works. Find the source together. And then in your next where you get there, you will be, once you are done receiving and processing data, you are going to pull it again because these are pull basers. So you request the data always. And the source API is kind of like this. So there are two methods that are the other side of proteins, you have plain sync and pull this call. And that can be filled out to once you get the data, send that back to the sync with next. And in practice, obviously there's a bit more filler, but that's really a lot to protocol. So a bare pass-through can be constructed just as this. This works as a bare pass-through completely. There is no extra code needed. And it fits on this. It's pretty nice. So composing these things into something that you can actually like stream data through is kind of like not the most perfectly pleasant right now. A helper would be appreciated or like as in writing a helper is probably going to be the ideal thing to do.  I left it rough like that. That is kind of it. It's not as simple as them raw for discussion. And so if you want to put a transformer between you basically have your sync bind to your source. So you have your transform bind to your source. And then your sync would then bind to that transform. And the way the way most of it is set up right now is so that it would kind of like automatically start. There's some stuff I basically wrote like this very minimal thing on like what we may want to add to our extensions. I'm not sure if that's any slides, but in cases where you have a network socket, it's nice to be able to start that explicitly and not have it on right at the start. So all this is found on my in-night and repos under FISHORC 123 slash BOG. It links to everything. And if you go to slash diagrams, you can find these diagrams. So this shows you the entire flow where there is no error. So I don't have a point or anything, but you start down where the bind, et cetera, kind of thing is here. That's where your setup is.  So in this case, you may from a network socket or something pull from a compression transform, that is going to pull from say a file source. And then once your file source has that data, it's going to send that back down. It's going to send it back to you in a transformer, something you may have it need to do some buffering. So it may do that all the time. And then you're going to get down to the bottom and it's going to repeat as many times as necessary. And when that's done, you will get a message there to find that everything is or you got error. In which case the error flow looks very similar. The error can be omitted anywhere. It bubbles up so that you can close anything above it. And then it comes back down so that you can close anything above it. And also the thing that admitted here. So I don't know if that makes sense, but we can go over it again. Hopefully discuss it. The current status is I have some various modules published. They're published at MPM. And there's GitHub sources for these things. Bob status, epic source, epic sync, Z-look transform. They do work. And then there's socket, which kind of attempts to make a network socket of this. Requests with that socket work, but the server, the server looks at least memory because I'm not a very good CC program. And I limited time to spend on this. There's some things on API performance if someone wants to know them, it doesn't already, but this is much cheaper to do than using current streams. And maybe we can discuss that. Any questions on basically API? Any questions on the benefits or concerns? Will we have four streams? How do you want to kind of support the new API in the existing like net or H2P? And doesn't have any overlap with the promises friendly API for event and return streams. So I kind of left that section on the slides, but the plan is to change all of the undersides of node basically so that streams internally would use this because streams is mapable on top of this, including all the events stuff as far as I can tell. So the path for introducing this is basically just to add it as a separate new streams implementation, right? In parallel to what's there. The existing streams API would continue to exist untouched. But there would be a map layer on top of this that would give a legacy stream mapping on top of Bob. Yeah, the idea was to do this in a way that where streams could be implemented on top of it so that we could then prototype this essentially also in node by switching out the internals to use this. And then once we were happy with how that works, then we could publicize it and not have to go through. And one of the other nice things about this is that the same protocol. So this is essentially just a protocol and it works both at the C++ and JavaScript using the same model. So we don't have two completely different API streams models operating those two layers. I may have missed it because I just came in but inside the question was how does this relate to some existing and ongoing standardization efforts on streams right now? So one of the other intents of this was to give a new low-level stream primitive upon which something like whatever additions could be built. Right now the existing streams in node, if we tried to do the WG implementation on top of that the performance would be rather bad and the models don't quite fit. With this, it should be rather straightforward to build what WG streams in that part of the system on top of this are fairly trivial. I guess so then one question would be does this need to be exposed? So if you put this in and you built the existing stream then you built WG streams and you'd have to set it free. Does that make any sense? Yeah. We have to decide whatever makes sense to expose this. Yes. The idea is that we would potentially eventually expose it because it would be much cheaper to do and it is much simpler than either. And it is much more, well, yeah, cheaper to do. It is much more performant than what WG streams are. WG streams can be built on top of it without any real problem. WG streams are push based when you are in the stream but the actual end points of consuming something or giving data somewhere are actually full based. So that interacts with this. Also it's a lot easier to build push based streams on top of full based streams. All you do is have something that immediately grabs data and pushes it along rather than the opposite way try to build full based streams on top of push based streams you just have to buffer a ton of data all the time. So this is probably just exposing my ignorance about how streams work. But if you don't have any buffering and it's full based entirely, what happens when the source is out? So this is intended to reduce buffering as much as possible. When we do have a source which isn't far close then it will have to buffer. What we do, the goal is right now streams require buffering at every layer. Like every variable has this buffering. We want to isolate the buffering where it only went where it's absolutely needed. There are some, unfortunately a lot of the other line protocols now are giving us options for buffering the flow control in the protocol. HP2 and quick for instance we can actually if we're not reading we can tell the sender stop. Some of the other protocols just will have to buffer inside of that one layer. So it's whatever implementation of the source is. Yeah, exactly. Something will always be buffering somewhere if you are in your program and there's your operating system. But the goal is to try to avoid buffering that at every step along the way. Another thing that's not in here that I mentioned is kind of like the libv layer of things. So in my target work this is also implemented in C++ and should be implementable in C also. So at the system level a lot of the calls you're going to make in that are going to end up one way or the other being like a request from the operating system which kind of maps a lot better to place things than push-based streams do. And libv currently exposes push-based streams but could expose full-based streams potentially in a way that may make more sense. So that is kind of like a thing that I can open up to. And one thing that we want to touch on. So the current streams API has both the readable and writable interfaces. And those are two various things. With this there's only one protocol that works for both. So you have the writable site and implementing is a source and then you will rather than pushing data into it you're essentially just waiting for whatever your destination to pull data out. So it would be a slightly different model of what we have now with this pushing stuff in but we will be able to support that writable site as well. So any other questions in terms of the basic model? In terms of what's needed here is just more validation of the model. This is something I'm going to be going to take a look again at what Jeremiah has done. I've been working on this for two years and you know needs some help. So if anybody interested in how pushing this forward I would imagine the next step is actually getting nice significant stuff is actually landing to support for this. The next step is getting some sort of conversion between this and streams. That is required to do the stuff that you just said. I just wondered like still a separate project. Is it time or reasonable to move that project under the Node.js or something that is more easily discoverable and having other people get involved? I'm not really convinced how much that matters currently. So yeah the streams, the existing stream JPI is rather complicated. It requires somebody that has a good understanding of the streams. Not even but you know if you want to get involved in that is definitely something that we can do but I would love to see this actually get into fairly quickly and it's something we can introduce and we should be able to introduce it in the minor. Yeah I mean I just want to add one good thing. Once we have the transform layer one thing that would be really really nice to check is that if this mechanism is more performant than our current stream base approach. I mean if you like stream base or know what stream base even is and basically if we can switch from that model to this by providing better performance with the transform layer on streams that would be promising if I want to maintain it overall. So yeah that would be very very very good. Fortunately I have no time. I have seen this. I might be a bit tanked by crunchy so I'm sorry just you call me so I need something. There's a bunch of example what is code in the socket that I was working on the PCB socket that's implemented with this. That transforms also from JavaScript and I mean that's a decent amount of code especially because of how NADI works but the overall pattern once you've got it across the barrier of needing to talk to JavaScript and SQL is pretty much the same so there's not some wildly different player that's kind of like needed in case of stream base. And a couple other things I'm going to mention since James pointed out places in all of them so there's other things I probably could list somewhere that could still use like prototyping like if you do want events with this like for some reason you want to see when data is going for a pipe or something the pipe I did more favoritively putting like a transforming that it means events off of it and you use for ways from the possible you just want to like listen to errors or something for some reason that way another thing is okay this is promise base it's not really apparently call back base either it's kind of just like objects that talk to each other that call each other and others but consuming a whole base thing with a async iterator also maxed very well because async iterators are essentially called mechanism as it is on that note the reason why it isn't sort of like async away base is because or async iterator sort of base because it's not really a way to pass buffers up from the consumer to the the thing that is giving you data and that is memory copy reduction that we want that the one thing that I will see the current API let's just basically pull on the next there is one limitation there that we have with quick for instance is that we might also need an hack because with quick we have to hold on to the buffer data until it's explicitly acknowledged or we have to write it again so as far as the guys concerned we might need to have one additional bit on there but Benjamin also told me to look at Dennis streaming kind of stuff recently the one thing it has that this doesn't really inherently have is like seeking although I guess you could probably like implement a like thing before out all your other pipeline that does some kind of like continuing until we get to this point or your source could just do that so yeah so on those lines you know just you know validation of the API right you know just you know think through the model how it works how that would go and if there is if for some reason this current model just doesn't work for a particular case we can serve as that yeah we can see the great every vote that we can start having discussions on so we can move the mid-pop into any other questions comments you mentioned how performance improvements do you have numbers on like how much faster TCP gets with this implementation than the master if there's numbers about that that you might recall and I don't quite remember I know that for like doing like file reads and stuff even in bad cases you get like a 30% decrease in the amount of CPU that you're using and for good cases like it's several times so like a bad case is like your is I believe was done with Zela transforms and it still takes like 30% less CPU and just like doing a wild copy a streaming wild copy is about any time decrease in the amount of CPU that's taken and with the current stream-based model you know just I don't have the numbers on the current stream-based when you write data to the stream to the on the dot script type and it passes that through to the C++ you can't write another chunk until that callback is involved and because of the way I have to buffer the data for four quick and to get to the maximum throughput I essentially have to do a mem copy on every write then call the callback right away so I don't have to wait for the data to be acknowledged which will free it this would completely eliminate the needs of mem copy at any point all the way down to the actual write which just that alone will have a significant performance improvement so just just looking at the model we can see that there's some improvements thank you for dealing with my slugging us if I blame James for dragging me into this as far as I know that's the agenda so thank you I would just like to do a quick wrap up of the last few days we have lost a bunch of people along the way I don't know where they all end up it's it has been a fantastic experience I think for everybody and I will open an issue to receive to collect feedback on the repo so that we can improve for next time so things that have worked, things that didn't work and things that we might do better next time I've seen that a bunch of people would like to have name tags which is a fantastic thing because it means that more people that doesn't know each other so I will put that into the list of things that we have to do for the next time name tags great so we're going to do that that seems a very simple thing to do thank you I also would like to thank Dori which is not here I don't know but thank you Dori for picking up a lot of work and also to Manil that picked up a lot of work that you know I was not alone it was a big team working on this also crazy from this is the club helped a lot and Eva as well you have seen Eva she's been fantastic I can go with the logistics with the rooms and everything it's been great so I would also say thank you for coming that's it

This afternoon, Sister Power topic of discussion, healing through writing, how to release pain and step into your purpose. Sister Power VIP guest is Kimberly K. Laboux. Welcome, Kimberly. Thank you. I'm so excited to be here. Oh, I'm so excited to have you here. Thank you. And it's all about healing through writing. Yes. Your published author. Tell us a little bit about yourself. I am a published author of many titles now. I am a mother of two great sons, and I'm a owner and CEO of Laboux Publishing Enterprise. I'm also a speaker and a mentor to many, and a certified life coach as well. Certified life coach. Yes. So what are you coaching people about? I mainly coach women through the process of divorce. So I'm a Christian divorce coach, so that's a little different. But I coach women through the process of divorce. I also coach in other areas, too, through the bookwriting process, which we're going to talk about today, but yeah, just helping women to succeed and overcome through life challenges. And you know, that's a different subject when we talk about divorce and being a Christian. Exactly. My father was a minister of over 40 years, and there's so many different subjects that the church kind of, you know, they kind of back away from it. Divorce is one, and I think racism is another one, and homosexuality is one. And I think that's just something that people should realize that our Heavenly Father wants us to be happy. Exactly. And you do exist without going through divorce. You still— Exactly. You could make it. There is life after divorce. There is life after divorce, because he wants us to be happy. And you know, you don't want to go through domestic violence or someone betraying you. And the reason why I'm so happy about having you here, I am a co-author of a book, Gifts of Hope. Oh, wow. And when you were talking about the three-foot, we're going to talk about your book. And when you talked about church, the name of my topic is Betrayal in Church. Wow. Yes, people. There is Betrayal in Church. Absolutely. And so, this was very special with me, and the name of this book is Gifts of Hope. And I'm excited about talking about—you know, let's chat about your new book. Yes. And we can talk about—it's right here, three-fold, cord-broken. What happens when Christian marriages fail? Yes. So how were you inspired to write that book? Well, I've had several failed marriages.  Wow. And there's a story behind each one of them, which is told in the book. And I found that through those processes, going through divorce, and especially going through divorce as a Christian woman, that I didn't always feel like I had the support that I needed, especially from within the church. And so it became a source of contention with me, almost. And so I wanted to be that person that was there for other women once I cleared that journey, and I've, you know, been through it, unfortunately, more than once. I know what it takes to make it through and come out on the other side successfully. So when I thought about the concept of a three-fold cord broken, I first started writing it about my story. And then it just wasn't happening. I kept putting it down. And then God gave me the vision that it wasn't just about me. And so then I opened it up and invited the six other women, the co-authors of the three-fold cord broken, to join me to tell their stories about how our marriages started, because we all started with the fairytale, what went wrong, and then what was the process of us walking through that divorce, and then how God bought us out and still uses us and blesses us on the other side, so that people can know that God hates divorce, but he does not hate us. And he will find every avenue to use all that and turn it around for your good. And so that's what the three-fold cord broken is really about. And you know, I noticed at your, the back of your book, that it really resonated with me. And you say, I am honored that you invested your time in our experience. Our stories were respectfully told from our perspective. And that needs to be shared, you know, that is. And what I enjoyed about your book as well, once I read it, that the women that were telling their stories, they weren't bashing men. Exactly. And that's what I think people should know. It's just telling the truth and telling, laying out the map what happened during their journey. And like I said, it was told from our perspective, and I wanted to make that clear, because they're, what they say, it's three sides to every story. He is hers and the truth is somewhere in between. And so I wanted to make that very clear that these were our experiences, and you know, our perception is our reality sometimes. And I wanted it to be clear that, no, we were not man bashing. We weren't like tearing our husbands apart in this book. We were merely sharing our experience. And when I looked for the women to participate in the project, one of the criteria was that they were healed and on the other side of it and that they could not be bitter and angry when they were telling their stories. So I was like, because how can you help somebody else to overcome if you're still, you know, stuck in the bitterness of it all? And so the women that I chose were on the other side of the journey and I felt their stories would be a blessing to other women everywhere. And how many women again? It was six, six women? Seven including me. And seven including you. And the book that, it was 102 of us telling our stories. Wow. So you know what, what I enjoyed about your book, because you couldn't tell everything with 500 words. I mean, that's what you were given. Exactly. And they had a chance to really express themselves. And walk us from the beautiful time you first met to the end. Exactly. Like I said, we all start out with a fairy tale. So how many books have you written? I have written eight. Seven of them are actually published. One is the workbook for a mentoring program that I used to run in Maryland. Is that where you're from? Yes. Hey. All right. Now, you own a publishing company. Tell us about LaBou Publishing Enterprises. LaBou Publishing Enterprise is my newest baby. I'm so excited about the company. What happened was after I wrote a three-fold core broken and traveled back to Maryland to do the book launch and everything, when I got back home, it was as if God was like laying everything before me and had me to write all of the books that I had written on a piece of paper and then all of the people that I had helped to write books through my book, boot camp, writer's boot camps to produce authors. And there were so many people that I had helped through that journey, but then he was like, your brand isn't on any of it. And it's time for that to stop. And so from that, he gave me LaBou Publishing Enterprise. And like I said, I'm so proud that it has my dad's name. I'm honored. I feel like it's a part of the legacy for our family. And we just published our first author out of LaBou Publishing Enterprise. So we can show that book. What's the name of that book? To me with love, a devotional on healing, pampering, and loving yourself. So you show it right to that camera. To me with love, a devotional on healing, pampering, and loving yourself. Yes. And that's so important. So we're so excited. Yeah. So because if you don't love yourself, how can you love someone else? Exactly.  And I always tell people the minute you walk out the door, you represent your brand. Exactly. Absolutely. And it's so important. And so that's why I'm just so excited about the publishing company, that I finally have something that, I mean, I have many things that I've been proud of over the years. But I feel like this is my legacy. That's your baby. Yeah. And it carries my family name. And so I'm just so honored to have LaBou Publishing Enterprise. It's like I already had all the tools and all of the right resources that I have been using for years. And now I can pull that together and help other people to tell their stories and become published authors. Well, I'm excited. I'm excited about the project. You and I are going to work with. I'm excited about that as well. Yeah, you surprised me with something wonderful. So everyone look, pay attention to LaBou and sisters in power and goodbyes. That's awesome. It's going to be amazing. We have a heart-shaped crystal bowl here. And our viewers have asked a few questions. So let's start off, and I'm going to ask you this question. And it says, if you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be? To not be fearful of what others might think about your writing because your story is your story. And no one gets to dictate how you tell that story because it's yours and yours alone. I love that. A lot of people fear what other people are going to think. Like, who wants to hear what I have to say? You know, why is what I have to say important? What you have is very important. What you have to say is very important because those are your life experiences. And I don't think any experience in our lives is wasted. So we go through it in order to be able to help other people. And Maya Angelou said, when you learn, teach. And so to not be fearful of our own stories and to get out there and tell it and to help somebody else. And you're right. Healing through writing, when I was portrayed, I'm so glad that my girlfriends taught me into writing the story. And I felt so much better. You do. You just released it. It's a release. Yes, you release that all on paper.  And you pour it out on paper. And it's just such a healing process. And that's what it has done for me. It's just been such a healing process. And I didn't start out as a writer. I was not that little girl who wrote all the time. I didn't write until I was 35. Oh. Well, that was only a few years ago. About 12%. That's fine. Well, let's see. I'll just get another question and see. Oh, here it is again. If you didn't write, what would you do for work? Speaking. I love to speak. I love the stage. I love empowering women. That would be my thing. It's sort of what I do anyway. But I love to speak from the stage. You love it. And so if I'm not writing it, I'm speaking it and empowering it on conferences and that sort of thing. So yes. And all over the world, you're an international speaker. Yes. Yes. Oh, that's wonderful. And I told you about the experience in Ghana. So that was my, yeah. OK, well, we'll come back. We're going to talk about your experience in Ghana. OK. All right. Stay tuned. All right. All right. When I was growing up, I was among the one in six American kids who struggled with hunger. And hungry mornings make tired days. Grumpy days. That kind of days. But with the power of breakfast, the kids in your neighborhood can think big and be more. When we're not hungry for breakfast, we're hungry for more. More ideas. More dreams.  When kids aren't hungry for breakfast, they can be hungry for more.  Truth is, I'm impressed. I haven't been asked such intelligent questions in a long time. Thanks. One in three teens to smoke will lose years of these moments. It's your life. Don't miss a thing. Welcome back to Sister Power. I'm here with my VIP guest, Kimberley LeBou. And our topic for discussion is healing through writing. You're an author, an international speaker.   Yes. Tell us about that and tell us about the book. So I went to Ghana as a part of this organization called Leap for Ghana. And we went there as a part of a global literacy conference that they held. And we were going to teach the teachers there and empower them with new skills that they could use to teach in the villages of Ghana. And so my roommate, whom I did not meet until, I went to Ghana. We were there. We worked with the kids. We were so deeply touched by all of those experiences there. And they had a library that they were just building. But they did not have many books that had children that looked like the kids that were in the village. So when we came back, we started talking about this book on the trip. And we figured we would do this ABC book where we took a tour through the village. We bought things in the village and toured with the kids. And we wrote See Is For Coco. See Is For Coco, showed it. And See Is For Coco is big in Ghana. So it's like the second manufacturer of Coco in the world. So that's why See Is For Coco. And the kids there were just such a dear. And you see pictures of the kids on the back. And so yeah, so we came back. And we put this book together featuring the children that we actually were with in the village. And as a part of it, we send these books back to the village. And we just sent 100 copies back to the village. My co-author Caroline called me to tell me the other day. And I was so excited that we get to send it back and the kids that are actually in the book will be able to see themselves in this book. And it's just an incredible, incredible feeling. So yeah. That touches my heart. My girlfriend, who is also the vice president of June Dennis of Sisters in Parangkawaii, is leaving for Africa. Are there additional copies that she could take a few with her? I don't know when she's leaving. We can talk about it and figure it out, see if we can make it happen. Yeah. Oh, that would be wonderful. I love hanging it forward. Yes. That would be great. All right, now let's ask more questions from our viewers. They were so excited to hear that you're coming on the show. All right. Speaking of your book, A Three-Fold Court Broken, What Happens When Christian Marriages Failed, what did you edit out of this book? I actually didn't edit much out of the book because my direction to the women was to be real and to be authentic. And the fact that, like I said before, we put out that we were looking for people that were already on the healing side of it, that had already did the work to come through on the healing side of it, there wasn't much to edit out of the book at all because that was the whole point of it was for them to authentically tell their stories so that it could impact someone else. And so I wanted them to be real. All right, tell us how may our viewers purchase your book. It's available on Amazon. Yeah, it's on amazon.com. Or of course they can go to Labou Publishing Enterprise and purchase it from there as well. But yeah, it's on there. And it's also on the ChristianDivorceCoach.com, which is the Christian Divorce website. All right, this is wonderful. Here's another question. Do you have an editorial team? Yes, I do. We have all of the resources that are needed to make the book happen. So I always tell people, you write the book and we do the rest. So the editing, the cover design, the format and layout, everything that it takes to get it done and then to have it published and put on Amazon and other booksellers as well. I'm excited. Full service. I'm full service. I'm excited. All right, what's the best way to market your books? The best way to market your book is to consider your book as a business, really. Because it's so much more to it than writing the book and just smacking it on Amazon. For speakers in particular, it's a great way to leave a piece of you with the audience. And so I always tell my speakers in the industry, it's like, if you don't have a book, you're leaving money on the table. Because when you get up there and you give this extraordinary speech, people want to take a piece of you with them. And if you have that book in hand, you can sell that from the back of the room. I remember speaking at the Blackson Government National Training Conference one year and it was a room, it was just 100 women, but 76 of those women purchased my book at the end. So if you have nothing to give as an extension of yourself, you're just missing an opportunity. So now it's so easy to market because you have social media, things that weren't around so many years ago. You have social media, you have YouTube, you just have so many avenues, but setting up those marketing plans and just figuring it out and going forward, you really just have to put the work in. Do the time, put the time in. I love that, you're giving such great advice. Thank you. What advice would you give to someone who wants to write a book for the first time? I would say start writing. Start writing. It's so simple. I always tell people nothing happens until you write. People say, I wanna write a book, but I don't know where to begin. I'm like, have you started writing? No, that's the hardest part. Like I said, you write the book, we'll take care of the rest. So my tip for a writer, a new writer, is to just start writing. Uninhibited, just write. Never try to write your second draft first. The second draft is there for a reason. The first draft is unedited and just go for it. Write what you wanna write. It doesn't have to be all neat and pretty in a package. We can pull it together and figure out how it's all supposed to work together later on down the line, but just start writing. I always admire authors and artists and painters because you start with a blank sheet of paper. Yeah. And it's so amazing that the work that you put in and it comes out to be such a remarkable story. Absolutely. Telling tools. Absolutely. All right, well, let's keep this moving. This is exciting. I'm learning as well. How have you found healing through writing? It's interesting, when I first started writing, it was after my second marriage ended. And after that marriage, I was really bitter and I was angry and I was stuck in a state of unforgiveness. And so I had to work that thing out on the altar, praying, and God told me to write. I was like, well, I don't wanna write. But when I began to write, I found out that I was starting to release so much stuff and things that I had buried from childhood. Everything started to come up and sometimes it's a hard process in the beginning, but when you just continue to write, it's where the healing is because you're getting that stuff out. You're getting those emotions out instead of holding them down on the inside. And so for me, to be able to tell my story, to be able to share my stories in these books through speaking and coaching and writing is just a blessing to me because I feel like it wasn't all for naught. Like it was not wasted. That everything that I went through was not in vain. And so that has really been a great healing process for me and it's allowed me to just flourish and to live this beautiful life that I have now. And so it's just a blessing. Oh, I love that. Because you know, I learned so much with writing about my experience with trail and church. And you know, I wouldn't trade it because it was all about growth, all about forgiving and just keeping it real. Exactly, it's real. Exactly. Right, what is the most unethical practice in the publishing industry? The most unethical. Ethical. I would say if someone was trying to steal people's ideas, but I try to tell my authors not to even worry about that because your experiencers are yours. So even if somebody tries to steal your title, you know, people are like, I don't, I don't wanna put my title out on social media because somebody might steal my title. But it's your story that's connected to that title. And if it wasn't what God gave them, then that's not gonna work out. So don't worry about somebody stealing your work or stealing your title because your story is authentically yours and it can only be told in the way that you would tell it by you. You're such a good motivational speaker and a coach. Because this is what you really need to hear. So you place them in the comfort zone. Exactly. That's important, all right, but let's keep this school going. What does literary success look like to you? Literary success to me is what I'm already doing. Being able to write myself and then being able to coach other people through the writing process, being able to help women primarily to see that you can tell your story and to help them do that and then see them empowered. Like the authors that were in a three-fold core broke and some of their first-time authors, I think all but one, was the first-time author and encouraging them through that process and then getting to the book launch and them seeing a roomful of people that came out to support us in just exhilarating. Sure. So that feels me because I'm seeing other people to flourish and grow and it's just exciting. It feels exciting. So to me, yeah, so to me, that's success. Being able to not only write but to be able to help other people to write and then of course to be able to now open up my own publishing company is just incredible. So that's what literary success looks like today. Did you take journalism classes? I did not. I did not. That's what people need to know. A couple of writing classes, but no, not just not. No, no I did not. So unless you're planning like if you're gonna write fiction or heavier genres of work where you need to do a lot of research and all that stuff, you know, that might come into play but when you're telling your story it's authentically yours so you don't need all that. I like that, I like that. Do you view writing as a kind of spiritual practice? Absolutely, absolutely. I journal. I have my journal. Okay, how many journals do you have? You know, I have one big favorite journal of mine that's nice leather with a nice little leather tie and I have many others but that's my favorite one right now and I always tell people to go get something that you really like. Like go to Barnes and Noble and go in the journal section and get something that you enjoy cracking open and writing in. And everything in my journal is a letter to the Lord. And so that's where I write out my heart to God and it's amazing when I go back and read some of the stuff and see how far I've grown. So yeah, I do think that writing is a spiritual, a great spiritual practice. Wow, great, all right. What's next on the horizon for you? More authors. Okay. Birthday more authors, growing our publishing company is big one of my list of things to do and we also have the Writers Conference, the Hawaii Writers Conference that's coming up. Oh, tell us about the Writers Conference. The Writers Conference is August 25th and 26th in Kapolei at the hotel right there at the new mall and we're gonna do the Writers Conference, two-day Writers Conference where we're having the workshops. It's a retreat, actually a Writers Retreat, Hawaii Writers Retreat. And just to come in and have the workshops and helping people to tell their stories, helping people to work through the process of writing, having dedicated writing time because sometimes busy people just can't stop to write. So it's a place where we're gonna do that. We have sunrise writing at the beach setup for that Sunday morning. So this is gonna be an incredible experience. August? August the 25th and 26th. So that's the Saturday and Sunday? Yes. And what time does it start and what time does it end? 7 a.m. in the morning and then until I think 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. that next evening, that Sunday evening. Wow, there's so many. We have this heart full of questions and I'm gonna find one last question and then we'll just have to do part two of Healing Through Writing.

Yankees play their home games about an hour away from Fairfield, Connecticut, where Michael Fishman grew up loving math and stratomatic baseball. He has spent over a decade and a half with the Yankees now for whom he is currently a vice president and an assistant general manager. Let's hear from Michael with Jack and Meredith. Thanks Bob Michael. You're clearly no stranger to this set. We've had you just about every year and I know coming to winter meetings there is an awful lot of preparation that goes into it. So what's your process in evaluating the free agent market and what you guys might potentially do in the off season? Yeah, it's a long process. It starts long in advance. We're really working on it while we're still playing during the season and during the post season. We have a large team in the office as well as our scouts. We're doing a in-depth look at each of the free agents and they go through a process of ranking each player by position and then as well put together overall board. Then we'll have our free agent meetings with our scouts and our analysts, whole front office staff together and discuss go through one by one each player. Certain players we're going to focus on more as they fit our roster better and spend more time on them and then and then just continue to kind of get involved. Other departments as well get the player development look at each player to send some players to them to look at in terms of what we can improve with players and beyond what the players are right now, what they what they can be as well as really just getting input from all different areas to really get the sense of what everybody is as we kind of have the evaluation lined up heading into here to make kind of decisions the rest of the offseason. When those evaluations are happening, Michael, what are some of the bullet points that stand out the most for you that make you get up from your desk and say I got to go tell Brian Cashman or Matt Ferry or whomever this right now? Yes and some some of the things are a player who may have had a down year and there are there indicators that it was unlucky or that he can be better with things we think we can improve with a player on why he can be a better player moving forward than he was the past year and maybe there's an opportunity to to get a player that can be better than he was and and really help us moving forward. Over the years who do you think has been your best fine? One that maybe nobody else was keyed in on and you saw a little something and took it to Cashman and the rest of the group and wound up working out very well for you guys. Yeah I mean there I think one of the more talked about examples was Nick Swisher back in the day of he when we got him it was coming off of a of a down year and the underlying I saw that he was actually the more like who he was in the past when he had been a successful player and and so kind of went from there had the discussions about what he what he what he could be and what he what he really was beyond what some of the underlying somewhat the surface numbers were the year before. Every team uses analytics but I've had this conversation with David Kohn where if you replace the word analytics with information I think everyone would embrace it but there is a certain segment of fan and observer that sometimes want to attach negativity to analytics. How would you describe to those folks why analytics are important to a successfully run organization? Yeah it's really just using information in the best way trying to trying to get trying to be the most predictive of what's going to happen and it's and it's really how to how to use information to affect decisions and and really why wouldn't you want to do that? Maybe it can be a bad word at times but really it's about trying to get them get them get the most information to the decision makers and and really in a predictive sense of what can what what this information is telling you about the future. I think several years ago when we spoke to you the department was not very big but I know it has grown by leaps and bounds since then so exactly what does the department look like now take us inside because I know a lot of Yankees fans would love to know how it all goes down. Yeah within the analytics department David Grabner is now the director of quantitative analysis and he's got a large team of analysts working underneath him that in a mix we have a group that are that are focused on the research of of using all the data we have to try and come up with statistical models to that are predictive of again player performance and various other factors and various other things and we also have analysts within each of the sub departments within baseball operations that are focused on their specific areas whether say an amateur scouting analyst or a player development analyst a performance sign on the analyst analyst who were just focused on those specific areas.  We've talked about Stratomatic the board game and how much you and I both enjoyed that game so I have to ask you the 2022 Aaron Judge Stratomatic baseball card how excited would you be able to take those two dice and roll them because you know with that judge card there's going to be a pretty positive result. Yeah you know you have good odds rolling with that one I'm looking forward to seeing what that one looks like I expect to see a lot a lot of homeruns a lot of on base on that on that card but yeah it would definitely be one one I'd want to have my Stratomatic team. All right we're gonna have to have a game I want to take the Aaron Judge card though Meredith. I want to know if there's any insight on Aaron Judge you got anything for us Michael. All right I just focused on the Stratomatic game right now. I had a feeling you were going to say that thank you so much for the time.


Hey guys it's Nate aka The Foot Account and welcome back to the channel. It has been no secret for the last month on this game, the market has been so muddied. But I can't help but notice that the new icons and it's got lots of promo and the heroes too are really hurting prices especially in one area. I'm going to talk about that today, where the market is going to continue to head as we get closer and closer to team of the season and is EA going to finally surprise us with our SPC content on a Sunday? It's been every single Sunday either a hero or an icon pick on and off for the last like two months are we going to be surprised today because the ADA plus on core icon goes away. We're going to talk about that and more in today's video if you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's go over Saturday content, there was actually a decent amount of content guys yesterday to be honest. We had a couple of SPCs that I think a decent amount of people were interested in starting off with the Michael Eskin right one of the SPC players for Golazo that was leaked and he finally dropped huge shooting boost here 89 shooting four star four star high high work rates and of course he's got that power shot plus and the jockey plus 99 long shots 99 volleys and power shot plus I mean that to me seems like a very fun card especially with how OP those long shots are off of volleys and those power shots that might be a really would really really fun card to use. He also does have anticipate being in the midfield he's got relentless he's got press proven ping pass and incisive definitely looks like a fun SPC. I don't think again with the other SPCs that are out he's a must do but if this is somebody that you want to get done or if you want to try him out by all means I think the price is fair I don't think it's overpriced I don't think it's underpriced I don't think it's cheap because let's be honest if this card was on the market it would only be probably like two three four hundred thousand coins nowhere more than that in my opinion based on the rest of the golaosal promo cards being as cheap as they are so 800k yeah maybe it seems a little expensive but I think that's a fair price just because again EA know that we get so much fodder now in these games with the rewards all across the game with the objective packs that we're getting every single day so they kind of have to over price it a little bit so they don't just make prices on the market get destroyed even more which I think that's even more of the reasons we'll talk about today why the market is as mud and as it is but this SPC is decent I mean it's a 80% up voter which is a little bit more I guess favorable towards the SPC I guess the community is thinking that way that I am I don't know if I'm gonna do this one but I mean it is a great card if you want to get it done go right ahead do the loan version first I always recommend that with icon of species 83 rated squad for a loan that's very very easy although I just clicked in the and it says get a five match loan of okay it says canton on the description but it gives you asian so yeah there's that yeah asians decent not too bad now the other SPC that we had yesterday was the 84 7 which is kind of like the 83 times 10 has the exact same requirements and that's why I'm comparing it to the 83 times 10 it's just an 83 rated squad and a team of the week you can do it three times every single day just like the 83 times 10 but instead of having all those 83s packable there's so many 83s in this game there's a lot of 84s too but you take out all those 83s when you open this pack in the player pool the opportunities that you have to pack players from this I'm gonna open my very first one I have not opened any yet I just want to see how these are let me know down in the comments how these guys were paying out for you is this Oberdorf first one I have to imagine double walkouts are pretty common Oberdorf and Sandra Ponyos in the 84 plus packs especially since there's seven players I have to imagine the double walkouts are decently common do I have any problems in here I do not so I have 484s 287 86 85 I feel like that's that's solid right I got three walkouts there okay yeah I'm a fan of that SPC I mean the 84 times 5 I was a fan of the past couple of times that it's been out so the fact that that is still an 83 rated squad in an inform I mean that's a very very nice SPC and again the fact that you can craft into it for the very low cost of that 83 rated squad you need the team in the week but they're easy to get right now too and you can do it three times a day every single day so yeah that's just a continuation they did give us a new SPC finally but that's just the continuation of those Saturday upgrade pack SPC's that we have been having so that was the two SPC's only that we had yesterday on the game we did have an evolution guys another 99 shooting boost Evo and it is another oh it oh it's not free oh I thought this evil was free atomic ace a hundred thousand coins it gives a boost in skill moves what's the boost as you go five-star you get first touch plus you get power shot you get trivala plus and plus one star to the skill move okay so usually the the radioactive chemistry style or play style as well car design that's what it is car design guys there's so many styles in this game radioactive car design to get all of the chemistry I don't know when I look at my club and I see who's available for me for this I'm not super stoked to do this evolution to be completely honest yeah of course you get somebody to the big 99 shooting boost how's this Brenner card look yeah he looks okay I mean first touch plus and trivala plus trivalas aren't as insane as they were before of course you guys remember trivalas were like just as OP if not more overpowered than finesse shots at one point of the year this Chan card actually looks kind of nasty 91 pace 99 shooting five-star skills forced our week but you know there's that's a potential upgrade that I could do if I really wanted to right there but I don't know man I look at this and I'm just saying for a hundred thousand coins it is something that I 100% want to do I don't think so it's not top of my priority list for an Evo I know I will say there are some really crazy evos out there that people are creating again just be aware that some of them you can't do anymore like this says he and you can't put him into welcome to evolutions that one's gone now unleashing potential and atomic ace those are both still available so if you wanted to do this is in you basically take off the plus ones that the welcome to the evolution gave you and you're still getting a really really solid card you're gonna boost them up to a 76 and then take him into the atomic ace and probably turn him into a 90 rated card instead of a 91 so not bad for sure and he's five-star five-star to that's one that a lot of people have to be going for I'm sure it says in your extinct 6k so he's not quite extinct it's weird the silvers and the bronze is the ones that go extinct because they're more rare but the the golds don't how about Karamoa okay see century and striker he shouldn't be extinct because he doesn't even fit me he's 87 8k so there's that I don't know man this Evo to me is it's there I don't know if I'm gonna actually go ahead and commit to it at any point there's 20 days for it to be out 9 9 shooting is always nice the play style pluses they go along with this one though I don't think are as good as the 99 shooting Evo that came out previously so that's just my breakdown there now to cap things off yesterday we had the mini release which was expected and we did expect the mini release on Saturday and it was dropped and guys this might be one of the cheapest mini releases ever like the cars that they put out weren't that crazy except for Desai and this guy this guy this card is crazy and it's only 300 I cannot get my head around the price of this card four star week foot for the passing right out of the back medium-high work rates anticipate and block plus 86 pace 92 defending 92 physical his first promo card of the year he can play CDM as well he has 99 shop power 97 composure 91 reactions which is helpful in the box the center back 94 strength 95 aggression he does not have intercept but wow he has aerial power header even as pinged pass and he has relentless and of course anticipate pluses right the golden raccoon the best play style plus in my opinion in the game especially number one for defenders what a card this is and for only 300,000 coins it is bananas another card that was released yesterday that I think is crazy cheap if you're on a low budget and you need a new striker hello to Robbie Keane this guy big bro Robbie Keane 91 rated is only 50k 50,000 coins for a striker with these stats and a five star week foot is unbelievable like this is a really a tots level card besides the passing that's a little bit low but having 92 and above in pace shooting and dribbling and especially having technical plus having three other shooting play styles this is a tots level card hands down and it's before tots and it's 50,000 coins that is an insane item that was dropped yesterday that's got to be hurting some of the budget strikers in this game because that's just a crazy card so little bro Robbie Keane is of course a little bit more mud he's also MLS instead of Prem but I think a lot of people are going to use this Robbie Keane card he might actually be a decent investment as we head out of this team just because I feel like however low he gets he's probably going to get down to maybe not quite fodder price of like 30 something K you might be under 50k but that is just that's a nuts card for lower budget teams in this game linaker is also pretty nuts I didn't even see his playstyle pluses he's got power shot and Trivella all right he's got a five star week foot as well that's a solid card again another insane card that was very cheap and then vitich vitich is a solid center back for 70,000 coins for his little bro item aerial and slide tackle again not as good as the big bro for sure but still a very very usable card but this decai man is unbelievable and this brings us into the conversation of prices on the market and prices of these golazo icon cards guys the market yesterday just continued to crash and I want to focus in on his decai card once again because he was one of the biggest reasons why some specific parts of the market market keep crashing right 370k for this quality of a center this is probably a top five center back on the game guys just how OP decai always is with that playstyle plus with those stats all the parts of this card that are there like this is probably a top five cv on the game and he's only 374,000 coins look at what this card this card did to other center backs on the game yesterday I mean I'm not saying that Sian had anything to do with a price drop on a row ho because these are all center backs that we're looking at that are dropping from 835,000 coins on a row ho all the way down to 628k yeah Sian cannot play center back right he's a CDM it's really it's this decai that is shaking up the center back market so much Varan was 1.6 mil he went all the way down to 1.3 I mean Eder Militao tanked yesterday to he was like 500k and now he's under 400,000 coins can I get a double check on that he was 530k right before content this decai comes out and he's absolutely headed to the floor now of course there's more cards that are dropping more than just center backs right but the center backs are down crazy and it's because of this card he is to blame I'm telling you guys this decai is very OP people have been waiting for a special version for him his price is going to fluctuate decently well even though he's pretty supplied on the market as we just saw when we looked him up I haven't like gone through and done the search I like to check the supply of these cards often it's late night right now so the supply is going to be a lot less than normal after being in packs for less than one day this decai has nine pages and so that probably means he's got like 20 pages during the heat of the day or maybe at least 15 right but seriously this card is bananas and it's making the rest of the market drop as we've already looked at examples but that's just what's been happening with this promo guys it's yes decai is showing us a specific example of the center backs but go lasso cards in general have been showing us with their high pack weight and how easy they are to obtain because their pack weight is high from tradable and untradable packs most packs are untradable anyways right but we're packing a lot of these cards like I see tweets from you guys and messages and comments on the youtube videos yo Nate just packed caffu yo Nate just packed you know van persie for the fifth time yo Nate just packed cold just got croiff just got push us like push us is three 98 shooting push us with 94 passing pace and 95 dribbling for three mil the new jarzino card is 4.3 mil he was like 11 mil for the first couple of hours on friday and I mean I still can't get behind the price of the Roberto Carlos 600 whatever thousand coins for a five star five star whipped pass plus Roberto Carlos drug was now only 400k kaka is under a million park g song is insane vidich is also insane for 685k cordoba for 600k actually is that say better than cordoba and vidich I don't know I mean I haven't used them but like for the price being half the price of cordoba and vidich and as OP as he looks with anticipate plus I mean that's that's crazy right even harry cool for 230,000 coins five star five star with those kind of stats guys it is this promo that is just continuing the crash on the market like can we go back even to cards let's look at like team of the years honestly let's look at like team of the year rodry because it's these types of cards that just keep crashing in price of course we had the massive drop off earlier on in march we knew that it was coming we sold we said to sell once we got into march we're like guys get out of these cards because we knew that for birthday was coming we knew that some sort of icon promo like golazo now was going to be coming as well just in preparation for team in the season but it's like every single week every single week on the weekend these cards get destroyed right he drop drop drop boom he got he got low during the weekend dropped on the most for the next week he's kind of chilling and then boom the the weekend friday bang crashes down into sunday and then now just like every weekend these cards you saw last weekend from 1.9 mil down to 1.7 and he's still 1.7 mil it's like every single weekend the market is just getting destroyed but it's been specifically the last two weekends that it's gone like crazy crazy down and i think it has to do with the golazo cards being as packable as they are too we already mentioned that but to spin it in a different way i think there's way less demand for players on the market for birthdays other icons other promo versions etc this kdb was 1.4 million coins on friday now he's 1.2 am i buying this because i think it's going to go back up to 1.4 no shot everything is muddied right now i'm staying away from most stuff unless i get on a low bid or a snipe or something like that there's way less demand for people to go and buy cards off the market because they're a packing so many things from the new promos and b there's so many sbcs that are out whether it's 88 plus icon picks that they want to craft the 84 times 7 giving you a chance at packing something in the current promo and then of course all the player sbcs that we have even if they're not the most meta players solid sbcs that people want to do all the foot birthday sbcs that we had and then of course the icons and the heroes like the al away running from golazo esion being released now people crafting through the reberto carlos old version ribbery ham david beckham canton up and then of course now the sdn too there's just so much untratableness on this game and with the supply of these cards being packed or the package of these cards being so high in the supply they're just way less demand for the market i would be so curious to know how many of you guys um have a fully untratable team whereas maybe a month or maybe like i don't know six weeks ago in february you had some tradable players in your team maybe a team of the year card that you bought during team of the year or maybe it was just somebody else that you knew was going to go up after team of the year and they did and but now you're just like nope i know what time of the year it is uh we talked about this in those videos sell run as untratable as you can because this time was coming but it's just crazy to see it even though you we knew that it was coming right we knew that these price drop-offs were coming it's just crazy to see it actually still happen with like wow how crazy were we for paying 3.2 million for this rogery card how crazy were we for paying 15 mil basically this virtual van dyke didn't see the market after he left packs occasionally here i mean he was literally max price 15 mil these blips down to zero i mean i guess the difference between 15 mil and extinct and then for the last couple of weeks he's been like 12 to 13 you know like how crazy were we to be paying this and still with the the cards that have dropped recently in this problem how crazy is this price still it is crazy but like with these team of the years they've just been tanking and crashing like crazy and it just has to do with a combination of more supply of great players with double playstyle pluses that rival the stats of those team of the years maybe they're not as good but they rival it and then again you have less demand on the market so people aren't buying as many players as their teams because they're just using the cards that they can get through objectives and sbcs now the question is do some of these prices bounce back and in my head no they're not going to man until we get to team of the season starting one of the things that we saw last year just to kind of get your minds ready is like this card is a great example right sake he was 17 two weeks ago and i was trading with him a bunch he's down to like 1.1 mil do i want to buy this card right now probably not this card is some somebody who's probably gonna end up being i don't know 800,000 coins maybe 700k around prem team in the season sake maybe getting a team in the season who knows right we're still a ways out from that voting and all that jazz right probably in the conversation at least if he does or if he doesn't this is the type of card that could bounce back during prem tots because people are building prem teams getting team of the seasons putting them in their squads and they got to link them up with other players they want to use there's going to be other arsenal team of the season players as well for sure with the year that they have had the solid year so this is to be a card that like it's going to drop drop drop and then during prem tots go up but then after that's probably going to keep tanking down as we get more and more tots cards and they get replaced but there will be a time and place to trade in that way and team of the season is a great time to trade it actually is even right now it's technically a good time to trade you just got to put a little bit of a working shift in man you got to get on some bids you got to get in some snipes and really i have not been trading the last two three two two weeks really i haven't traded much on saturdays and sundays and it's been good because i've really missed out on all the prices that just tank during the weekends they just tank tank tank but then on monday tuesday wednesday it starts to chill out a little bit so that's why right now i'm looking at some of those cards that might pick up in hype is the road to the finals you saw a couple of donor rumors on my transfer list i'm trying to pay no more than 135k for him because he said 150k plus multiple times this gavard the old who is already up he was like 550 last week um he's now 645k but some of these cards even tony cruce who i flipped like some of these cards i'm keeping an eye on because i know that there's going to be a lot of hype on these riding up into these games this week for champions league and just kind of starting to think about them and prepare early to try to get in a couple of these cards that could maybe rise into the game especially if they're favorites and then sell in the hype before then because once again what do we see with the fantasy fc cards right like the declin rice and all these other fantasy fc cards that have gotten trashed and value even after they got massive upgrades like this usman 3.4 mil for usman he was 4.4 right before he got upgraded right sell in the hype so we'll talk a lot about the market of course the rest this week but big market kind of centralized conversation today just because of the state of what this game is in and really quick just for fodder fodder is not that much better either now i did go buy some 91 ratings for just shy of 34 000 coins i don't love the investment but this is still around the conversations of that big brazilian potentially ronaldinho sbc coming um i wanted to go and pick up a few of those these were all the way up at 36 000 coins yesterday if we do end up getting a dino sbc these are probably just going to naturally find their way up in price so i'm still kind of i didn't invest a ton here like i maybe have 20 of these yeah i may be now maybe not even that much somewhere around 20 or so the de Bruyne's and a couple of hollands in there as well so i just bought a few of those i was like you know what those could go from 33 000 coins all the way to like 38 to 39 potentially maybe mid to high 30s we get some lazy sales on them that would just be some easy coins that i could list up and make some profit on those if that dino sbc is to come and again no news on that man i was hoping that we would get some tweets some news information about a ronaldinho sbc being confirmed and all of this but as of right now there is nothing just for the fact that um they have not confirmed that it was ronaldinho wow two million coins or they have not confirmed which version of ronaldinho we're getting it hasn't been officially tweeted out so the only thing is guys that we transition and talking about today on sunday ronaldinho if there was a day where he could come out it would be today because it was last sunday where we had me a ham and that was a massive icon player sbc again that one was leaked and it was pretty sure on which version it was i guess and that's why it was leaked as early as it was but we have no official dino leak yet and me a ham is was released last sunday so of course dino could potentially be released this sunday if there's never a dino sbc released then the leaders got to say something for themselves for getting us hyped up and for leaking that and kind of leaking that without saying that at the same time too uh but then i think that these 90 ones would probably drop a little bit as well so if dino if dino is not today he still could come out uh but it's just it's just odd that uh we did not see any news about that whole situation yesterday now a couple more things to discuss about today the on-core icon player pit goes away right it's going going gone and the 86 plus hero uh actually that's still out for a week okay guys they got to do something different today man ea you have a unlimited repeatable hero upgrade pack that is going to be out for a whole other week please do not release a hero player pick today okay i don't want a hero player pick i don't think anybody does if you want to do hero packs do this one it's cheap and i actually have seen a halfway it's not a good pack weight but i've seen some decent pulls out of this like give us another icon player pick today make it this same sbc but make it a one of four that would actually be really op if it was a one of four instead of a one of three that extra slot in a player pick you guys maybe know that's very op so uh that did refresh yesterday and i think some more of you guys maybe have done it but it didn't really make fodder move too much i'm pretty sure maybe the 86 is maybe 87 is just slowly inched up but even looking their prices right now i don't think they did i just hope that they do some sort of icon pick today because we've already got a hero pick out but again technically according to the schedule right it's every other week on core icon then we have a hero then we have an icon hopefully we have an icon pick today so watch out for that i hope the cycle is broken and they give us an icon pick two weeks in a row and then even if we don't get a reynolds diño today i think we get some other sort of player sbc i don't know if nakata that's the only card i believe i don't think we had a nakata release yesterday i think i missed it if if he was but um yeah he's the last card that has been leaked in this golazo promo to come so maybe he's getting an sbc we'll see but really today would be about diño if it is diño day and then other than that it's just going to be a good day to get some weakling games in to potentially see what sort of icon or hero sbc they do release and keep grinding the daily plays keep grinding those games to get all those packs and get some fodder and then also have a chance of packing colossal cards man 84 7s i got to hit up a couple more of those get some weakling games in and uh yeah it's a good weekend for that at least um guys for this stream today i'm a little bit unsure we've had some technical difficulties recently with the setup post stream on friday so um i would maybe try to set up some things differently for today we'll see if we get a stream in time um but i will keep you guys updated on twitter if that's going to happen or if it's not just a little bit of a housekeeping update there but i'm hoping to get on because i got to play champs and uh i need to get some more objectives done get some more packs queued up um almost a level 25 as well where i'm going to take the 83 times 20 for the massive amount of fodder we'll be able to rinse and utter the species and uh hopefully pack some more cards man but that's the video for today guys if you did enjoy drop it up to bonnet comment below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new it's been Nathan Food Accounts see you guys tomorrow peace out


Actually, the biggest achievement for the project of the E-System and E-System of Committees and Councils can be summarized by that it saves time for the staff members and the employees who are a member of the Committees and Councils. It saves time for them and also it adjusts the procedure of the work that followed by the Committees and Councils. This is I think the most achievement. Also it links the far parts of our University because we have different parts so it linked them together so the work can work smoothly. The target group of the project can be employees in the University and the staff members. Also students can be also the target. Yet actually there are many impacts on that target. For example, it helps them to accept using E-Systems in the work. So having this project in our University gave them the chance to use the E-Systems to work in ETIA. Okay, the E-System is used in the University and the University it is a governmental institution so all the procedures that are used in the University can be applied in other governmental or non-governmental universities in Saudi Arabia. Actually it means a lot for us. First having a chance to have our system or our project reviewed by external panel is very important for us in order to know how important this project for the University and also give us the confidence about the strategy that we have followed to implement the E-System or to develop the E-System in the University.
