Hey what's up guys, welcome to the channel in reviews. So pretty excited, I've got another headphone review for you. These are the T9 true wireless earbuds. Now they come with a massive 180 hours of battery life that is with the charging case that comes with it. Individually, the earbuds will give you four hours of playback time, but there's something special about this as well. The charging case for the earbuds also doubles up as a power bank. So gonna give you a full review, some sound tests, how they look. So let's just get straight into it. So just to tell you what else comes in the box with these headphones, you've got three pairs of replacement earbuds.  So these are the headphones. They're from a company called Holy High. So if you have a look at this size, you can see that it's not the slimmest, but this is doubling up as a power bank as I've mentioned. So you do get a lot of power coming from this. One thing I'm a really big fan of is when they have LCD displays of battery percentages on the charging cases. Cause that's one thing that with true wireless headphones and the charging cases that you normally get with them, you don't really have the indication of how much battery life is left. So this one will tell you. Now on the back, you have this thing that looks like a fingerprint reader, but actually it's a touch sensitive control. By pressing that, you will actually display the battery on the front of the pack, like so. There you go, I've just pressed it, and it tells me it's at 100% battery life. On the bottom, you have the USB port, and then also the USB-C port for charging the device. That USB port there, the traditional one is basically for the power bank. So if you wanted to charge your phone, for example, you can do that directly using this and then keep track of the battery life from there. All right guys, so now let's take a look at how you can swipe up and open up the case. So you just push up like this and it's quite a smooth transition. Then you see the earbuds there inside. So actually when you do it, you still get the battery percentage displayed, which is pretty cool. And it's not flimsy, it's actually quite solid. And you can keep doing this like many times, and I don't think it will break that case as well. So nonetheless, these are the wireless earbuds inside. So as you can see, it's still got the fresh casing on them. So let me go ahead and take one out. Looking at the actual earbud itself, you have the right side and the left side in this design. So much like similar earbuds like the Samsung Galaxy ones, they are touch sensitive. So this top panel here can control various different things. So I'll cover that in a second, but it's very minimal. And I'll be showing you how this looks inside my ears. When you want to put them back in, drop it and literally it just pops into place. And then you just close the case and you're ready to charge it. All right guys, so I've got them in my ears now. And one thing I really want to test when I get new true wireless earbuds is to see how easily they may fall out. One problem I had with my previous earbuds, the Samsung Galaxy Buds, is that they tend to fall out quite easily. And I'm just going to tighten it a little bit, secure it in place, and then just shake my head. So moving around, I'm looking for some sports earbuds as well. So when I go running or working out in the gym, I don't want them to pop out and just fall over. So for me, they are pretty secure. I don't feel like they're going to pop out at any time. So I will test this by doing a bit of a run and I'll post back onto my Instagram at trending reviews with some of my results for these. So to turn them on, you literally just hold down on the earbud and it will start turning on and pairing automatically for the first time. And I've just got them paired to my phone. So what I'm going to do is play a song and just give you guys an idea of actually how the quality is. But before I do that, I just want to show you how it looks in the ears. So if you just take a look here on the left hand side, you can see it's very minimal, it fits quite comfortably. You can twist it a tiny bit to tighten it a little bit more. As you can see here with the right hand side one as well. So let's go ahead and play some music. So I can feel quite a strong sound quality coming through. I think there's not as much bass as maybe some of the other true wireless earbuds I've tried in the past, but it's definitely in my top three. It's got some really good quality and actually it does a little bit of a noise cancellation as well because I'm finding it hard to hear myself speak, even though I've got the volume at about 80%. So if I put the volume up full, I can see drowning out a lot of background noise as well. So for me, excellent sound quality. I'll be using this all the time on the tube, on the trains. If I'm flying out on airplanes as well, it should do a pretty good job as well. So one thing I really like about it is IP6 waterproof and sweatproof. So with my Samson Galaxy Buds, when I'm training in the gym and my ears start sweating a little bit, they get slippery and they pop out themselves even by just walking. So I'm going to test this out. Hopefully they don't fall out and I will report back on that. So in terms of the touch controls, if you just tap either the left or the right, it should play and pause the music. Likewise, it will do the same for ending and answering phone calls. And then if you double tap the left one, it will skip to the previous track. If you double tap the right one, it will skip to the next track. If you long press and hold the right side, it will turn the volume up. And on the left side, if you long press and hold, it will turn the volume down. And if you triple press this, it will enable Siri. So if you do have an iPhone, then you can connect this with that and it will enable the Siri voice commands so you can ask anything you like. If you do triple press while the earbuds are inside the charging case, then you can actually reset the earbuds from that procedure as well. Okay, so to power off the devices, you just long press and hold and it should hear power off. One thing I like is that it powers both of them off at the same time. If you just long press and hold just one of them. Now I've had earbuds in the past where you have to do both individually and they're independent, but this one is connected so it's perfectly fine. So just to take it out and then put it back into the charging case like so. There you go. And just close it and then it will start charging inside the case as well. So pretty compact, very easy to take with you and they can actually fit in your pocket as well. So if I give you a demonstration. So as you can see, I'm going to put this into my pocket. Much like your phone, it does stick out a little bit because of the tiny bit of bulk that it has on the power bank, but perfectly fits fine and it's very easy to take with you. If you're traveling, then it's so convenient and that's one thing of really value.  Now one other thing I like about the earbuds is that they do come with this LED lighting around the earbuds on there as a ring. So if it's red, then obviously it tells you that there's low battery. But while it's in the charging case, you can see it's cycling between red and blue. That means it's actually charging. So there's different indications for the color of the lighting on these as well. So that looks really cool when you're in play. All right guys, so thanks for watching. Now these come in at 45 pounds on Amazon UK. I'll leave a link in the description below on where you can purchase that. The one thing I really like about it is they're currently on sale from a massive 150 pounds. So that's a 70% discount. So use the link below and make sure you catch that deal. And if you buy this before the 31st of October 2019, then you can get an additional five pounds off as well. So complete bargain for a good set of true wireless earbuds that has a power bank as well. Now it is 6,000 milliamp hours for the power bank. So you will be able to charge your phone maybe one and a half times. But if you're also charging the earbuds as well, so you may just get one full charge for your phone. Now due to the size and the compactness of the charging case, it's a really good deal to have. So do check it out. If there's any other questions that you have specifically on these headphones or any other true wireless earbuds that you want to know, then do drop a comment below and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Otherwise, thanks for watching. I will do a lot more headphone reviews in the future. So make sure you subscribe, make sure you like this video and I will catch you guys at the next one. Take care.


Thanks for checking out this show review video. So this is for the 2020 show release Lock and key and that's locked with an e at the end of it. This is available on Netflix at the moment It's actually a Netflix original This is actually a show that's been bounced around a lot and I'll talk about that a little bit in my you know in my information on on the backstory of it, but It's a long time in the making. I'm glad it finally got made I will say there will be no spoilers for this review since it's very very new I would encourage people to actually watch it so but that said you can watch all of this and I won't be spoiling anything So you can watch this then watch the show or you can watch the show and then watch this or both whatever Do what you want. So let's talk about lock and key based on a comic book series by Joe Hill and Gabriel rod reguez Rod Reguez. It's published by IDW comics. Now. Joe Hill is the son of Stephen King a lot of us know that And Gabriel Rodriguez did the artwork for the comic book. I can highly recommend it the comic series It does it is different enough from the show that if you've seen the show It is worth reading the comic and vice versa. They do diverge enough on things They have a lot. I mean a lot in common obviously because it's you know, the show is based on the comic But just know that they're different enough that I would recommend doing both of them So I had read the comic a few years ago and I knew about You know the show potentially coming out at that point or it was originally developed for Fox in 2010 But they watched the pilot and then they didn't order any other episodes. So never actually aired So back in 2010. This has been like 10 years in the making basically in 2014 at San Diego Comic-Con it was announced that universal pictures would make a trilogy of movies based on it which I think Mmm, I would have really loved that because because doing movie quality and in three parts would be amazing I think they could cover or even a lot more But I think Netflix did a good job with it to be honest in 2016 then IDW announced that it was developing a TV series adaptation to go and shop around in networks and streaming services And then in 2017 Hulu ordered a pilot for it. They then passed on the show that year Then in 2018 Netflix made an order for the series after seeing the pilot of it They I think they actually remade it did and yet a more updated pilot specifically for Netflix Netflix said we'd like it We're gonna order the whole season of it. Let's go So it took from 2018 to 2020 for everything to get rolling get done and then be released Just a I mean with with these shows you get multiple directors But it's worth noting that Vincenzo Natali actually did two of the episodes for the show There's ten episodes total And for people who don't remember Vincenzo Natali has done such things as in the tall grass splice and cube which I haven't seen in the tall grass. I've heard good things splice I quite liked and cube I think is awesome. So yeah, I should Review cube for the channel. I will at some point. So some key actors in this who I thought did a really good job I want to point out Amelia Jones plays the character of Kinsey. She does an awesome job She was in incident in a ghost land, which I have a review for on this channel. That is a really good movie It's available for streaming on shutter currently and I recommend that also Jackson Robert Scott plays Brody in this He does a really good job as a very young actor He was in the newer it and he was also in the movie the prodigy, which I've not seen the prodigy But I've heard good things about it and he's a very good actor. So So the town that this was in was originally changed from Lovecraft to Matheson to pay homage to the screenwriter Richard Mathis Matheson Just just an idea just letting people know and the house was constructed at a studio in Toronto So it's not a house that just existed. It was constructed Immediately, it's very different from the comics. The opening scene is not in the comics Not at all in the comics. So they actually expand upon a bunch of stuff from the comic story and change a few things and sometimes it doesn't work so much but other times it works really well and so They also did some things in different order as well and it comes it comes down the same thing Sometimes it doesn't work as well and sometimes it works really well But it never hits a point where it doesn't work as well to where it's totally Detrimental to the story and is bad It's just different and I look at at the comic and say well I think the comic did it a little bit better So still they did a good job And there were actually some things that they decided to like change the order of or expand upon that I think is better than what the comic book did so Good stuff overall They do a good job of slowly peeling back the layers of the family story. There's a big story about the family It's all kind of centered around the family and they do a really good job Kind of very slowly like I said peeling the layers back Getting all the layers of what's going on within the family the backstory on what's going on with everything They don't just like throw it all at you at once. It's a very kind of slow thing and it's good The mother in the comics is way more of a mess right off the bat Just so you know they clean this up a bit to be a little bit more family-friendly Friendly it is darker in the comics not a ton darker, but it is darker in the comics than it is in the show So it's more a little a bit more digestible for a younger audience The show is but it's still I don't know if I would show it to kids It depends on who you are. I don't have kids. So I don't have to make that choice. But you know be your own judge Overall, there's more levity and comedic moments versus the comics There's a little bit of comedic stuff that they throw into the comics But in the show they put a lot more comedic stuff in it and it's good like it plays well It doesn't feel forced or anything the characters it the characters they have doing comedic stuff It feels very natural for them. So I Appreciate that they incorporated it properly I really like the fact that they have a group of kids in this called the Savini squad obviously a nod to Tom Savini Partially because of the name but also because it's a nod to the horror community and how they like to analyze film Because that's what the squad does they analyze films are all about film and stuff And it's also awesome to note that Tom Savini makes a very small cameo in this show also Joe Hill makes a very small cameo in it as well. So look out for those two in it They move things a lot faster in the show. They've also had some different keys Yeah, that's one of the big things every things are very focused on keys with lock and key And you would definitely know that if you just watch the trailer it gives that away pretty much immediately Also the fact that's called lock and key there are different keys that do different things and It's it's not the same Comic versus show they actually add some keys for the show I think they and well they for the most part they cover almost all the keys that are in the comics But there are few that they left out now I don't know why those those choices would be and in some some cases It's fine that they left certain ones out and in other cases. I was kind of like I really wish they had you know done This one, but I in some instances. I know because of like budgetary Reasons they would have had to do something really crazy and yeah, I don't blame them. I Believe there's a reference to humanoids from the deep in this very early on I think it's in the first or second episode I forget specifically what they said because I took that note some time ago But there was some sort of reference to humanoids from the deep. I think it was when they were doing shooting one of their films How much it focuses on the kids is one of the strengths of the story Yeah, I mean it's very much from the perspective of the three kids in the Locke family and Since it's from their perspective. I think it works very very well It's kind of a little bit of like a coming-of-age type deal dealing with family demons and drama and trauma So yeah, it's a fun and interesting adventure because you really don't know where it's going next now When I was watching it obviously I knew for the most part where it was going except for the things They decided to change because I had read the comics, but from the perspective of You know someone who hasn't read the comics first like my wife watched it with me and she No clue the whole time she had no clue where it's going And that's one of the strengths of the show is that it's so original and interesting that you just don't know Where it's going you cannot predict these things and even when there's some foreshadowing going on it's not super strong So it's good The character of Rufus is one of my favorites in the comic But they made him a little bit older in the show and they actually changed some stuff about him in the show He's more interesting and has more impact in the comics than in the show Although he does still have impact in the show and he is still a good character in the show I just liked him a lot more in the comics and it was a little bit of a letdown for me personally to You know have a character that I like that much that was kind of downplayed a little bit They found some good ways to bring in flashbacks, which are much easier to incorporate in comics It's way easier to just you know have panels and comics and be like you know X number of years ago And then you know because people expect that stuff in comics It's a little harder to incorporate flashbacks in a natural way That doesn't feel like you're messing up the flow of the show for a show But I think they did a really good job with that so good on them One of the characters exhibits some emotions. They're not supposed to you'll know what I mean If you've seen it and you'll know what I mean when you see it There's a situation where a character is not supposed to be exhibiting certain Emotions and that actually gets broken a few times. So it's a bit of a continuity issue. It's not a huge deal It's not a deal breaker, but it is something I noticed that There wasn't that issue in the comic but there was a bit of that issue in the show But like I said, it's not a huge problem. It's just something I noticed They added extra story for the character of Sam in the show Which actually I think works pretty well in the comic book The character of Sam doesn't have a whole lot of backstory to him that there's a little bit But they expand upon it quite a bit actually and how he gets integrated into the story In the show they they just make it a lot more rich and I actually liked how they did that it worked pretty well There's a lot more intertwining of the two evils in the show versus the comic the comic It's a little more separated than it is in the show There there's a lot more kind of this going on than there is this going on first, you know comic Show so you'll know what I mean when you see it or if you've already seen it Well, if you've done both There are some good sweeter and emotional moments that were actually added to the show that I think really worked There are a lot of times where yeah, it feels very emotional There's some, you know very sweet moments, which there's some of that in the comics But I think they added a lot more of it into the show And I think it plays better in the show versus the comics because actually seeing something and having music to it and everything And the acting versus just reading it on the page It's different and it plays differently and it can have more impact when it's done show wise They succeed and making you feel for someone you don't want to which speaks great It speaks volumes about the actual storytelling and the screenwriting that went that went into it and also the acting The acting by and large is quite good in this show Except the person who plays the mom Not that good not that good everyone else. I think did sorry everyone else. I think did a pretty good job Um, so yeah, but they make you feel for one of the characters that you really don't want to and that just means great writing They changed the order of revealing some things and some instances is better. So it's not I actually talked about that And they changed the ending a lot to be honest, but it actually worked pretty well So actually for me having watched the comics there was stuff at the end that surprised me because it's not in the comics and it's totally for the show and um At first I was conflicted. I'm like, I don't know how to feel about this But it was good. I actually liked it in the end and that's nice when they make a change that you're actually okay with Coming into it already knowing the story The music matches the scenes very very well in the show sometimes tense and other times fun and whimsical They do a really good job at matching matching the music to the different situations for sure Um, I like a lot of joe hill stuff It's all about what trauma does to people and how people choose to deal with it And more specifically how people make destructive decisions to try to deal with trauma Um, joe hill is the son of steven king steven king showcases families a lot in his stuff And trauma and dealing with trauma and the trauma of families And dealing with all of that and family drama and joe hill does a lot of the same in his works nos forat to The tv show he did a lot of that Lock and key obviously does it and you know, steven king He has the hbo show the outsider which I have a review for on my channel Same type of themes these themes keep coming up again and again with steven king and joe hill But it works it it works in horror for sure There's a point made about how making assumptions about your role in things and blaming yourself Is most likely wrong and you're just punishing yourself. That's another thing that you bring stuff out of this story there are lessons to be learned there are morals to the story morals to the tale and It resonates like it can I'm not saying it's going to resonate with everyone But it can resonate with some people and for me, you know, it kind of did and it plays well That really helps with the story and helping people connect with it and really love it. So That's actually all I have to say about the show. So now I need to do my rating Out of five stars with half stars in play. It's quite good. It's not perfection, but it's pretty good. I'm gonna go ahead and give it a four I'm gonna give it four out of five stars I was between four and four and a half if I was doing quarters I'd do four point two five But I'm gonna give it a four star rating which is a great rating because I'm not super easy on You know giving these ratings out, but There you go Go ahead and put some comments down there. Have you already seen the show? What are your thoughts on it? Are you gonna watch it? You know, whatever you think also Your feelings on joe hill's work, you know, if you've read any of his books or anything Also, hit that subscribe for me real quick If you could literally takes you a second and it's totally painless That's your way to repay me for doing any of these videos if you like anything I do If you've already subscribed Also, make sure you've already hit the notification bell So you know when things are going up, especially for when i'm doing live streams And you can also hit the thumbs up if you're already subscribed and want to be like Hey, I'm still watching and I appreciate but put some comments down there. That's the most important thing. Let's talk horror Thank you very much for checking this out and until next time keep it brutal


Hello, my name is Xavier Pratskone. I am an advisor at Teach4All. Teach4All is a global network of organizations. We are present in more than 60 countries and we are based on a very simple idea. The best and the brightest young people in any generation should be able to get into the teaching profession and the best teachers should go to the most difficult schools. And on this basis what we do is recruit bright, motivated young people, train them as teachers and send them for two years in a disadvantaged school of their own country. And this has really a transformative power for those young people who see the transformative power of education by themselves but also for their schools where they go with their motivation and their tools and also eventually education systems. On how schools can raise their profile in their community, well, it's not so much how they should raise their profile as an enemy itself but how schools can become part of the community. Why? Well, it's very simple because it's very difficult to imagine educational schools as a self-standing, isolated institution that is separate from its environment. So it is really very important that schools work with communities to have a same vision, a shared vision of what kind of education children need and how to get there. Of course, it's all very well to say that a school should engage with its community but doing it is of course not that easy and sometimes there are many obstacles. One kind of obstacle is that in many occasions schools are actually prevented from rules, habits and regulations to actually engage outside their own environment with the community. There is very little provision in traditional schools of tools to engage with the community. But then the other of course most important obstacle is that it comes from the society itself. Many schools in disadvantaged areas have students from an enormous amount of nationalities, culture, traditions, languages sometimes the students and even more often the families don't have the tools to communicate with the schools. So engaging with the community can be as much as a challenge as there is a challenge of social inclusion in many of our cities and communities. How can school leaders bring new competencies in schools and why? Well, of course, it's very important that there is a common understanding about a curriculum for a whole country or a whole region at least because we should be clear and we should have a common view in our societies as to what should a young person have learned by the time they leave school. But it's also very important that we don't forget that realities can be very different from the ground. So we must have school leaders that have the capacity to be creative. They have the capacity to take decisions about their own community and their own local reality. This is extremely important because if not, it's not just that the impact will be bad for students. It's also that the impact will be bad for leaders and for schools because how can we recruit competent, motivated, efficient leaders if we don't give them the assurance that they will be able to be creative, to be assured by having the freedom to adapt the competencies of themselves and the competencies of the faculty of their teachers. Collective leadership and networks. Well, collective leadership is a very common word for us in teach for all because everything that our experience tells us in countries as different as Bangladesh, Sweden or Uruguay. It's always the same. Education is not just about the school. It takes much more than that. And it makes a lot of sense to make sure that education is not an individual enterprise of one person, of one institution or of one level of government, but precisely a collective exercise. For education reform to function to be effective, you need to mobilize an enormous amount of very different stakeholders with different interests with different priorities. This is perhaps the curse of educational reform compared to other areas of policy, but it's also the demonstration that education is so important for our society because so many people, so many institutions are affected by it.


Hello. Hello everyone, thank you for attending my talk. As you said, my name is Julia, you can contact me on those social accounts. And I work at this little startup called Big Code in Spain. So what we're talking about this morning is I'm telling you the story on why I decided to package my client application as a binary, how I did it, and the implications I found on the way. So let's start in the beginning. It's April 2013. We just have finished a prototype of our application internally written in Java. We have this new smart engineer on board, who's also very brave, because first thing he does, as he joined us, is try to convince the CTO to move into Python. And he provided very rock-solid arguments on why we should do that. But the CTO wasn't entirely convinced because Python, even if you only distribute device files, well, it's very easy to decompile and the investors wouldn't be happy with that. But I was hating maybe at the moment, slow as hell. And I also wanted to move into Python. So I said, well, just let me do some research on the thing. And I really thought it would only take me a couple of minutes at Google to find a solution for a problem. And I went and typed obfuscate Python.  Because the answers I found weren't at all answers. They were on this kind of, well, Python is not the tool you need. It wasn't designed that way. It's philosophy. Plus everything that's ever being written in Python ever, it's open source. And if you want to do it anyway, it's really hard. And even if you, even real compiles applications can be reverse engineered. And, well, they hack Windows all the time.  If your company is trying to do such unethical stuff, you should quit your company right now. Code protection is overrated. And just writing a legal requirement should be enough.  I mean, Dropbox, originally, I don't know if you still do that, but it was written in Python and was obfuscated. And yeah, they hacked it. They hacked Windows, yes. But I wish, I wish our application has such many people trying to hack it as Windows that Dropbox have. So you are telling me I'm trying to do something that's not possible that I cannot do whatever I want with my own code? Because people don't do that. And because it's hard, really, in my previous company, they have compiled PHP to see. So that's not going to stop me. I now want to do it personally. I just want to do it as an intellectual exercise. I want to discover if I'm capable of doing this. So the statements I wrote before were everything I found. There was a guy suggesting that maybe you could try to use Python to compile your Python code into C code and then go on. So that's where I started. So this is the process I came out with. First step is to take your Python code and compile it and convert it to C code with Python. Then you compile it with setup. Then you need to package it and create an actual executable thing. And I use pinstallar for that. With pinstallar, you get a folder with everything you need, executable and all the external dependencies you may have. And you can take that folder and pass it to any auto-installer software for your system. Deviant packages set up for Windows, DMG packages for Mac. Well, this is how everything is done. Converting your Python code into C code is actually really easy. Well, I don't know if you can read the code, but what we're doing here is walking through our source directory and replicating it into a new folder because you probably don't want your C files to be placed just by your Python files. So in every Python file, you call Cytonize method, which is cool. You can tell Cyton not to force compilation. So if a file has not changed, it won't re-convert it again, which saves you a lot of time. Well, that's all.  I haven't found a way to actually tell Sysconfig, which compiling flags do I have? They seem to be stored in a static dictionary that's created the first time you call Sysconfig.getConfig bar. And what happens in there is you don't know which entries of the dictionary are being used, really. And some of the flags are duplicated along various entries. So this is trial and error, mostly. First thing, what we're doing here is walk our new source tree of C files and creating an extension for every C file. This thing involved in here, the Pyrex without assertions is to disable assertions because you probably don't want assertions in production. And then for different platforms, you have to override the flags you don't want. And what it happens is that for unique systems, extensions are compiled with debugging symbols in them that makes your compile application bigger and slower, so you probably want to disable them. And then three days ago, I discovered that in one of our Mac machines, traces were enabled by default, but in the other one, they weren't. I just discovered it, so I had to add this new override here.  And everything gets compiled. So now you have your Python application compiled as a native extension, but you still depend on some external libraries, probably.  And as I said before, we are using Pinstaller for this. What we are doing as we have, we had some problems with external dependencies with Pinstaller. We created a fake main file which imports the real native extension main file and all the third party stuff. Because sometimes you need to explicitly import some modules. Well, this is also a bit of trial and error. So first thing Pinstaller does is create, you pass this file to it, and it creates a specification file which you can configure a bit so you can tell where your binary contents are. So we are telling here first line to include images. And then some external modules like this, it contains binary files in it. So I just telling Pinstaller to copy the whole directory. I have some problems with crypto and some machines. So yeah, I did the same. I told Pinstaller to copy the whole thing into my project. Well, that's all. You get a folder with an executable file. You can copy your client machine, preferably going through a standard way of doing that. But that's mostly all. Well, have I achieved my goal of security improvement? Well, with Pinstaller, you can package your application into different ways. You can package it as a single big file or as a folder which contains everything. The problem with the single big file is that it's compressed. And every time you execute it, it needs to be compressed itself into a temporary file which works great for graphical interface applications. But it's really slow for common line application as is our case. So it's really easy for hackers to discover it's Python because if you package your application as a folder, they are seeing all the files in there and they could recognize stuff. But even if you package it all together, you can execute your application within a program that will print you every assembly line, sometimes with an extra help like this thing in there so everyone would recognize that that's running Python on the inside. Well, can the reverse engineer you with that? Probably they can import your native extensions and invoke your methods to discover what they are doing, but they cannot actually see the code. They even have help because if you didn't tell Python not to, Python by default will include the dog strings of your methods. But, well, it's safer than not doing anything. Other implications you may ask, it has, well, I'm using C, so is this any more efficient than running just the Python code? So I did a little benchmark, but first I need to explain what a project does. What a VCOG project does is take a C++ project, three source and analyze it, discovering all the interconnections among the files in the project and the external projects you may be using. So it's a CBO bound processing. So this benchmark I did on the X axis, I have the number of files in your C++ project, while on the Y axis I have time to process them, just processing time, not feeding from this, obviously. So what happens is that for small projects or medium-sized projects like under 500 files, efficiency gain in time is around 7%, which itself is not bad. But for really, really big projects, and this one, this last one is SDL, SDL library, which has over 2,000 files, efficiency gain was three seconds, which from user experience perspective it's a lot, and it's a 32% time gain. So I think overall, the process wasn't hard, wasn't difficult, and we gained something in the way. So I think there was, the reaction on the internet wasn't good enough. So, well, time for. Did you change your Python code, or did you just use it as easy with the site? I have a series of blog posts. I have a series of blog posts written with wider snippets of code. I will put this on the internet later, so you can go and read them. So time for more questions. Hello, thank you for the talk. Do you think it's important to site-anise the entire application, or would it be sufficient to site-anise only the kernel, the stuff that you do differently from others, and leave everything else in Python, and on a related note, how do you debug this stuff?  Well, isn't it difficult at all to site-anise the application? I don't mind site-anising it all, or just the processing part. How do I debug it? It's in Python. I run my tests in Python. I can set the debugging level, even when I'm running this site-anise application, so I can see all the traces. So I've never found a problem I cannot solve running the application just with Python. If you've already done this, then I assume you're happy with it, especially with the extra performance, but when you were doing your research, did you consider writing a custom loader and maybe taking the Marshall lock module and hacking it up so that everything looks different and sort of obfuscating that way? I prefer to use something that was already there and working, because I knew that I would probably would write more bugs than useful stuff if I tried to write my own obfuscator. So as this worked, the first time I tried it, I stuck with it. So I saw that you called the site-anise function manually, but probably know that there is an extension for the extension object that automatically does the siphonising part for you, so you can actually pass the PYX file to the extension. Is there any reason you did it that way? No, this is the point I started and I built on, so probably the process can be improved a lot. I don't know if calling the extension directly would allow you this non-compiling again stuff, probably it does. Yeah, it does. So no, there isn't a reason for that. Because I had an extension written in siphon as well, and I think the way you can pass compiler options is nicer when you do it through the extension object. Yeah, but the compiler options I'm hacking here are to the extension library. I'm calling extension, then I'm setting up the options and finally I'm calling setup, so there is no siphon involved anymore at that stage. Yeah, so what you're saying is that extension chooses some compiler flags by default which you don't want and you have to remove them. Any more questions? Can I ask a question? What's the implication for testing if you have a binary rather than your... Oh, sorry. Sorry, what's the implication for testing with the binary and are you having to test it all twice? No, because as I said before, I've never met that there's a bug that happens only with the binary application and not with the Python. We ran some final tests with the binary, just to be sure, but the big suit of tests is run against the Python code. Any more? Well, thank you very much, Julia.


Hey guys, just Nate, A.K.A. the photo accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Today we're gonna be looking at the official FIFA 23 team of the year, and I'm gonna be giving you guys some price predictions as to how much I think this team of the year will cost on day one when they're released in packs and then towards the end when the whole team is in packs and their prices are a lot cheaper. I'm gonna give you two price points for every single player in the team, and of course we have to talk about how this team of the year might be the cheapest team of the year that we have ever seen based on the official ratings that were just dropped and just how the market is these days at FIFA. It might be one of the most affordable team of the years ever. We're also gonna look at the honorable mentions and some potential guys that could be in the 12th man vote and shout out some price predictions for those as well. Basically what I wanna do this video is help you figure out an idea of how much you might need to spend to afford a team of the year card of your liking. So without further ado, if you're excited for it, hit the thumbs up and subscribe if you're new. This is gonna be a short one. So buckle in and we just got these ratings posted. Literally like 20 minutes ago EA posted on their website the official ratings for the team of the year and what's the surprise? Again, the ratings are low. This is the lowest rated team of the year I think we've ever had. Only one 98 rated card and that is messy. We have a couple 97s and then after that some 96s and some 95s and a couple 94s. It's just not like the old days where a team of the years were 98, 99 through almost the whole entire squad. We missed those days for sure. But nonetheless, these cards are gonna be juiced. They're gonna be very hype and a lot of people like myself included are going to want to pack them. They're also gonna be pretty expensive even though we're saying the cheapest team of the year ever, the whole market is so much cheaper than it was in previous FIFAs. So let's start at the top, the attack. Let's start at the top and go through some of these cards. First of all, number 97 Mbappe, how much do I think this Mbappe is gonna cost? If we look back at last year in FIFA 22, his team of the year card was 97 rated as well and it started out at a crazy price of 8 million coins with Mbappe being so overpowered last year. He's probably just overpowered this year in terms of a comparison. I think that Mbappe's card this year is probably gonna be around the same amount. He already has a promo card that is 4.5 mil, a 2.7 mil promo card. I would imagine this Mbappe is gonna be somewhere around that 7.5 to 8 million coin range but as he drops down and his impacts for the next week, I do expect the Mbappe this year to probably get down just like last year into the 6 million coin range. He is absolutely gonna be the most expensive card in team of the year. Now, what could make him even more expensive is if they give out some extra week foot boosts, right? If they do a five star, five star Mbappe, we're talking maybe a nine mil card, seriously, that much more for that extra week foot. Guys, remember the foot birthday Mbappe a couple of years ago? That card was so overpowered. Just imagine a 97 Mbappe with a five star week foot. That would be absolutely nuts and that would make his price be a lot more expensive, I think. So I'm gonna guess between seven and a half to eight and then all the way down to about six. Let's move on through the attack, Benzema. Speaking of week foot or skill move upgrades, that's huge for Benzema's card as well. Of course, we currently have a Benzema card in the game that is a 92 rated winter wild cards with five star skill moves. I don't imagine that they will give the team of the year Benzema five star skill moves, but I could imagine them giving a five star week foot to this card. He's 97 rated, it's gonna be, of course, a very hyped card that a lot of people would like to use. Probably a big pace boost, hopefully on his card too. Maybe we get towards 90 pace and that five star week foot would be fantastic. So I'm gonna go at the price for Benzema around about two and a half million coins to start off with and then probably dipping below two mil or staying right around two million coins once the full team is in packs. I feel like it's a pretty good comparison to the Lewandowski that we had last year, but Lewandowski I think was cheaper because he didn't have as hype or as good of a links. And since there are so many other Real Madrid players in team of the year and in FIFA that are just really, really hype and Real Madrid just brings a lot of hype in a big community of fans that wanna use a Benzema card as well with the France links that Benzema has. I feel like he's gonna have more hype than Lewandowski did last year. I think he still will maintain a price probably around two mil. Maybe a little bit less, but around two million coins seems right for him, especially if they gave him a five star weak foot as well. Of course, if they give him skills and a weak foot, we could be talking more. If they don't, we could be talking less. Just kind of depends on what the final card is that we will see tomorrow. Let's go to 98 Messi. Just like we've seen in previous years, 98 Messi, literally the exact same card that we had last year was 98. I don't know if they're gonna mess with the work rates. That's my biggest thing with this card. Messi's base work rates this year are low, low. I really hope that they give Messi high, low, like they did with the 94 rated card. Last year he was 3.4 mil, started off at about four to five million coins though. I think that Messi this year is gonna be a little bit cheaper just because the whole market's a bit cheaper. And of course, the Messi card this year in FIFA just doesn't seem to be as insane in terms of the meta. So I'm gonna go at the Messi price of somewhere from starting around four, four million coins and maybe even being one of the cheapest team of the year, Messi's we've ever seen.  This is when Team of the Year was at its peak, honestly guys. Messi, 99 rated with 97 pace, even with the medium, medium work rates then, like absolutely insane, insane cards and this is what we have now, right? The 98 rated not as big of a stat boost. I'm thinking Messi this year is gonna be somewhere around the three to three and a half million coin range in that full team aspect but starting off around four million coins. Let's go to the midfield, right? A lot of really interesting players in here. Jude Bellingham won that a lot of people would like to get in their squad. I think Jude Bellingham is going to be the second cheapest midfielder. I think Modric will actually be cheaper than Jude but that's because I hope they give Jude a really, really nice boost. Now we have a Jude Bellingham card this year of course. This is his first team of the year and we don't know the stats of course but he's getting a plus five boost over his phenoms card so we could suggest that this is maybe gonna be a plus five, plus six in all different stat categories so he is gonna be teetering on the edge of being club 90. He's gonna be one of the best complete midfielders in this game, probably like 88 pace, 88 shot and then 90 plus everywhere else. If they give him 90 pace and 90 shooting this Bellingham could be very expensive but my price prediction for this card since it's a bit more difficult to link him in terms of the leagues. I'm gonna guess this Jude Bellingham still is gonna start off around maybe 1.7 to 2 million coins but then he's gonna drop off to be a million coins flat maybe even a little bit below a million coins if the juice isn't that big but somewhere around like the one million coin range maybe 1.2 but starting off maybe around like 2 million and then dropping down from there. I just think there's gonna be a lot of hype with Jude getting a team of the year and I mean this phenoms card for a long time was like 600K in early December. So he's been 500K since then. I would imagine that his price of his team of the year card would double that and maybe then some of course with the stat boost that he could have. Let's move on, right? Modric is another really big name that a lot of people are excited to see in this team of the year promo. 96 rated for Modric of course just like we have great memories of the Messi cards and 99 rated Messi's from years past. We have had some really insane Modric cards in the past couple of years in team of the year specifically the 99 Modric and even the 96 Modric in FIFA 18 was really good but he's nowhere near gonna be this expensive from his Ballon d'Or year when he was 3 million coins. I'm looking more towards the random range on Modric somewhere around the one million coin range and again just like Jude Bellingham maybe starting off a bit more expensive it depends on the stat boost but probably teetering around that 1.5 mil range. I mean honestly for a start price 1.5 mil but then maybe going under a million coins I think Jude's gonna be more expensive than Modric even though his rating is a bit lower I think that Modric card might just be a little bit less desirable to some unless they give him some big boost or skill move upgrade or something like that but I think Modric is gonna end up being around a million coins maybe a little bit under maybe even like 800K we'll have to see he might be our cheapest midfielder this year and then De Bruyne, right? De Bruyne's team of the year cards they're always saucy. I mean last year he had a really really nice team of the year as well it was club 80 with the 80 defense it was a really really big boosted card he started off around 2.4 drop down below to kinda the 1.85 range after that with a KDB this year being 97 I think that could mean maybe even a higher juice than this card that he had last year I'm hoping that Kevin De Bruyne this year is somewhere around the two million coin range even with the market being a bit cheaper I know Kevin De Bruyne's got the really awesome 99 physical Winter Wild Cards item hopefully they give a big pace boost on that keep the physical not 99 but keep it pretty high keep the passing and dribbling stats of course really high as you'd expect I'm gonna say Kevin De Bruyne this year somewhere around about two million coins to start off but then dropping to about 1.5 while he is in packs now let's get on to probably the cheapest part of the team in the defense and we're gonna start with left back Teo Hernandez there's a lot of hype around Teo Hernandez's special cards this year he's got the team in the tournament card that is 450,000 coins after it was 600K a couple of weeks ago and that makes me think that Teo is gonna be the most expensive of the two in terms of the outside backs I think Akimi is gonna be cheaper than him and since this is Teo's first team of the year I'm gonna say Teo's gonna start off at about 1.2 to 1.3 million coins I think he's gonna end up going under a mill probably around like the eight to 900K range but then he might even rise up after he's out of packs just because that is gonna be one of the best left backs in the game, probably the best left back in the game at least for the foreseeable future and I think people would be very willing to pay around a million coins maybe 800, 900,000 coins for that we'll go to the right side we'll look at Akimi of course we can take a look at his card last year I absolutely loved using this card 93 rated last year, 94 rated this year I really hope he gets the 80 shooting again hope he gets all 90s in the dribbling and defense categories of course we already have a Phenom, Sakimi multiple of these guys that are getting into team of the year we have Phenoms for it, right? This card was 368K at the time of this recording he was 460 at his peak and of course he's dropped down since then but especially with the Ramos Flashback SBC there to consider for this Akimi card and of course you got a lot of PSG hype I could imagine this Akimi being around the same prices last year even with the cheaper market, right? I do believe Akimi will be somewhere around the 550 to 600,000 coin range like he was last year probably in the what you would call the peak or the lowest point, not the peak at all like the lowest point for his price last year was 650 I think even though he's higher rated the market being cheaper this year I think he'll be about 550 this year 650 last year as you can see so I'm saying 550K for that low price for Akimi and his starting price probably around like a million coins maybe 900K as people pack that card probably going to be, Akimi and Courtois would be the most commonly packed team of the years out of this promo team let's go to the two center backs cause they are pretty massive VVD 96 rated of course has not had a team of the year in the past couple of years he's already had a really, really big World Cup Stories card this year with a nice juice, nice boost this is a card that people say is the best center back in the game he's 890K he was just over a million coins recently he was even over 1.4 million coins earlier on in December before he was re-released back in packs but with that being in mind and with this van dyke hopefully returning to the VVD team of the year days of old with high 80s pace I mean FIFA 20 we had 88 pace we had 85 in FIFA 21 in FIFA 19 he had 84 so since this card already has 83 fingers crossed that this van dyke with a plus four overall upgrade over this card would potentially have like 86 pace maybe 87 pace and I think that would be a shout for probably the best center back in the game and I think this van dyke card will end up costing and showing that price right especially with the pro hype that's gonna be there for this VVD the team of the year VVD that we had in years past were really, really expensive when he had a 99 rated card he was still 3 million coins now again different year different market of course but I think this VVD this year is gonna be the most expensive defender he's gonna be somewhere around the range of a start price of two to 2.2 million coins and then dropping off while he's in packs to about 1.7 and then maybe rising up after that again I really think that some of these defenders are gonna be elite enough that they will eventually rise up out of packs maybe not for a long time but for a little bit so van dyke 2.2 star price maybe dropping down to about 1.7, 1.8 just because he's gonna be so overpowered the other center back in here is a new one Edgar Militow first team of the year for him of course there's gonna be a lot of hype for his card as well again a lot of Madrid hype here Militow, Benzema maybe some other Madrid cards and honorable mentions or stuff like that maybe in the 12 man voting which we'll get to in a second as well Militow if I had to guess he's pretty comparable to the Marquinhos of last year but he's just not right it's also a completely different card last year Marquinhos was started off at about 2.5 went down to about 1.5 million coins I think that Militow is gonna start off cheaper because he's a little bit lower rated and I think he's just gonna get packed a bit more than Marquinhos his base card is lower right Militow 84 base Marquinhos is like an 88 base so I would assume that Militow is gonna start around 1.7 to 2 million coins and then end up dropping to about 1.3 it does depend on the stats though because if this Militow has like 92 pace or you know like above 90 pace and not just above but like way above 90 pace it'll be an absolutely massive card we're getting a plus six upgrade he's got 87 pace he could have 93, 94 pace on this card and that would be insane I think he will be very, very hyped and very, very in demand so I'm gonna say around 1.3 to 1.4 at his lowest point but I could see this card even being more expensive if the hype is there and then finally in net Courtois goalkeepers are always cheap right we've seen that the past couple of years Don Ruma last year with all the PSG hype and links that were in the team I mean he went down to about 220,000 coins while he was in packs and I think that Courtois is gonna be in that same threshold maybe starting off at about 500K but then dropping down to about 250, maybe 300,000 coins with all the Real Madrid links that are out there again a lot of hype but again guys just the bottom line with this team is it's not insanely hyped because the ratings are just not what they used to be and especially if you played FIFA in the old days or not even the old days like three or four years ago you know that team of the year is a lot different now than it used to be still great card, still amazing I hope EA threw out some skill move, week foot boost in there that would absolutely help the cause as well now I wanna talk through a couple more things because we do have some leaks about the 12th man vote and I wanna put some cards and show some cards to you about the 12th man in team of the year last year we had Ronaldo this year we have Valverde, Holland and Cancelo so it is going to be a vote obviously and this one's kind of tough because a lot of people really wanted Valverde to be in team of the year as a midfielder but I really feel like Holland in this particular vote has the biggest chance to win just because of the name of Erling Holland because of the amount of votes that he's gonna get being a Premier League card I know we have Cancelo in here as well but let's be honest guys when is a defender gonna win out of these conditions, right? I feel like it's Valverde or Holland but I really feel like Holland might end up being that guy and it's tough when you think about Erling Holland team of the year card we've got the ones to watch which is a 90 rated card it's 800,000 coins I mean, this guy's been 2 million coins from earlier in the year he was 1.3 most recently in December I feel like Erling Holland team of the year is probably gonna be around 94 or 95 rated if he gets a card and with that rating being there I do believe that he could be somewhere around that 1.5 to 2 million coin price range the 12th man is always a little bit more rare too, right? Cause it doesn't get that first session in packs of course, Ronaldo's 12th man card last year was very, very expensive it was 6.9 million coins and nobody is gonna be up there except for Mbappe in this year's range but if I had to guess Erling Holland somewhere around I don't even know man maybe starting off with 2 million coins maybe getting down to like the 1.5 range but that would be a card that would probably be pretty disgusting in a good way on this game now I do have some graphics that I wanna show you and we had a whole thing planned out shout out to Yaz who made these graphics I'll put his link down below in the description of this video we had a whole thing planned out where we're gonna do nominees and predictions and I didn't get around to this until too late and EA posted the ratings officially so some of these of course are not gonna be nominees but big shout out to him for making these graphics that look absolutely unbelievable Fede Valverde is in the vote for 12th man so he will most likely not get a nominee card unless EA say hey we're gonna put some of the nominees that don't win in the votes like either Cancelo or Valverde into a nominee or honorable mention type card scenario, right? Lewandowski, Mane definitely players that could have had really high vote tallies that could get into the honorable mentions or team of your nominees second week, right? We imagine that these cards will be dropped the second week after the full team of the year is in packs Lewandowski of course would not be as juice as his card was last year that card to me looks somewhere around like a 500K card doesn't look that expensive to me but again a small boost smaller boost in these team of their honorable mentions Mane would probably be somewhere around like 700K to my liking just a plus one over his ones to watch and we can talk about Fede Valverde as well because if he were to win that 12th man award he would probably get a really juiced card and that one would be pretty expensive I would say a Fede Valverde team of the year 12th man would be around a million coins but the less juiced honorable mention that Valverde card would most likely be I think about 750 or maybe even 600K depending on how the stat boost look a couple more honorable mentions that could be in that didn't make the final squad Marquinhos if we get another Brazilian center back Tamori could be an absolutely insane card I know we just had the Winter Wild Cards but you never know how EA is gonna work in honorable mentions or nominee system I would say Tamori somewhere around 750K Marquinhos somewhere around 650K and I really hope we get a Cancelo card whether it's an honorable mention or if he somehow miraculously wins the 12th man vote which is probably not gonna happen I do believe that this Cancelo will be around 500K if we get a card like that so it's just tricky right now guys because the market is of course where it is this year it's a lot lower this year as you guys know prices are just a lot lower on all different aspects as I'm searching up Messi's card here like a card like this Messi I'm looking for the team in the tournament one I mean this guy was 2 million coins right after the World Cup he's 1.7 mil right now he's got the work rate change the World Cup trophy you guys know how cheap the market is like Gold Ronaldo and Gold Messi have basically been fodder for like a month now and we're in January so I just believe that this year with the way everything looks the team of the year is gonna be one of the most affordable ever not saying it's gonna be cheap because these are still we're talking high 90 rated cards we're talking big names like Mbappe, Messi, Benza and all that stuff but I just feel like with the way the market is and those prices that we just talked about prices will be cheaper than last year and I think we will see the cheapest team of the year ever so hopefully this video helps you out in determining maybe how many coins you might need to attain one of these team of the year cards best of luck opening packs during this period and if you have any comments drop them down below if you have any questions drop them down below but of course leave a like if you enjoyed and subscribe to the channel if you're new it has been Nathan Fodaccount and I'll catch you guys later peace out.


What's up everybody, Jason here for Jaspyscasebrakes.com. Six 2020 NT football round team spots are being given away here with this 2020 Mosaic football hobby one pack break, 56. So again, appreciate it guys. Here we go. So first we do the break, randomize customer names and teams. It should be the hits out. Then at the end of the break, we'll take all 32 customer names and randomize them. Top six get a spot each in the break itself. So there's the list of customer names, there's the teams. We do the break first, boom, boom. Then we randomize customer names only and then we give away the six spots, top six get in. Yeah, exactly. And then I think Panini, if you're like a big like Yankee fan, I think Panini has exclusive like relics to mantle. So they also have that going for them too. But yeah, people are just chasing the veteran and the barrels and the cleats, should like that. But yeah, just imagine if Panini did have the licensing to baseball, flawless and NT would not be that price. It'd be double the price, I guarantee you. Roll it six and a four, 10 times. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Chad down and Chris. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Dolphins down on the Lions. Oh yeah, we can do that instead. I mean, that's actually part of the closest break out of all of them. And that'll buy you guys more time to potentially fill up something else. So we can do that break. You guys wanna do the leaf metal. Like I said, if anything doesn't sell out by 1215, then I'm gonna call it. All right, so there you go guys. There's the teams, names matched up. Let's alphabetize them and I'll give you guys 30 seconds. Yeah, I think about it. Like NT baseball starts off like out of $400 or $500 box, which is very reasonable for NT, right? While NT football starts off at like, you know, $4,000 a box, although the draft class is loaded. So I give them that. NT basketball is probably gonna start off out of a $4,000 or $5,000 box easily. So look at the difference. I think now you can find NT baseball for like $800, $900. It usually doubles, you know? But yeah, so if that was officially licensed NT, it's not a $800, $500 box to start off anymore. It's like more like 2,000 probably. But then again, the cards will sell for much more because they'll be officially licensed. So that's why I just say it's just too hard. It would be cool if every company just had a piece of all the licenses and they can just like all have licensed products and they all just compete against each other. That'd be cool. Like back in the old days, right? Early 2000s when NBA was like upper deck, it was tops, football was the same way. But like I said, it's just all about being exclusive nowadays. Darrington Evans autograph, there you go. CD lamb, silver prism, Michael Irving, KJ Hamler, Pym and Junior, oh, sorry, Pym and Junior and Herbie. So Ty's autograph is going to offer. All right, let's switch scenes and giveaway. Top six, get in, roll it. Two and a four, six times. Top six, get in. One, two, three, four, five, six. Matthew's in, Matthew's in, Chad's in, Don's in, Don's in and Joshua's in. There you go, six times. So there you go guys, number last one is on the website. It is at 16 left, appreciate it guys.


The first thing to know about Last Night in Soho is that it is going to be a bit of a departure from Edgar Wright's previous works. Although many of his films have horror or thriller elements, they've been predominantly humorous. I doubt Last Night in Soho will be humorless, but with his next feature, Wright seems to be fully embracing his horror influences. In Empire Magazine he said the following, It will feel very different to my other films, but I've always liked films which have a slow burn into something else, and a lot of my movies have that feeling. Last Night starts in a more psychological realm and then starts to get increasingly intense as it goes along. And I always like to gravitate towards making a film in genre as I miss, and there's a certain type of psychological horror film that you got more in the 60s and 70s that have something of an operatic nature. I'm using that kind of visual grammar. Wright also revealed to Empire that he is taking influence from the films Don't Look Now and Repulsion. The first movie Don't Look Now is an occult thriller from 1973 starring Donald Sutherland. In terms of its tone and how it may influence Last Night in Soho, I think it is most notable for its slow burn. The movie is terrifying, not because of constant jump scares or violence, but because of an atmosphere that slowly builds dread. It ultimately leads to a horrifying conclusion that works so well because of everything that led up to it. So in keeping with Edgar Wright's quote, it's safe to assume Last Night in Soho will be more of a slow burn than a nonstop thrill ride. Before diving into Wright's other influence, Repulsion, let's take a look at what Last Night in Soho is actually about. According to Deadline, the London set psychological thriller follows a young girl who is passionate about fashion design, who mysteriously enters the 1960s where she encounters her idol, a dazzling wannabe singer. But 1960s London is not what it seems, and time seems to fall apart with shady consequences. The young, time-traveling girl is named Eloise and is played by Thomas and Harcourt Mackenzie, who you may recognize from Jojo Rabbit. The dazzling wannabe singer she idolizes is named Sandy and is played by Anya Taylor Joy, who you may recognize from Emma or the New Mutants, assuming that movie is eventually released. In his Empire interview, Edgar Wright also mentioned that Eloise has a mysterious connection with Sandy, which is what allows for the time-travel. And by the way, we should put time-traveling quotes because it sounds like it may not be exactly what we think. Edgar Wright adds, Based on this quote, it sounds to me like this film is not too interested in the time-travel itself and instead focuses on the implications for our character Eloise. It sounds like it will be a cautionary tale where her rose-colored glasses are removed and she learns that nostalgia tends to hide the darker side of things.  Wright gives us two clues. First, he mentions that a mysterious connection between Eloise and Sandy enables the time-travel. Second, he says that Eloise gets to time-travel in a sort of abstract way. That second clue makes it sound as though Eloise will not literally be traveling through time. Thirdly, this brings to mind films like Midnight in Paris, where character experiences another time or place but the exact mechanic of their travel is not explicit. In that movie, Gill, played by Owen Wilson, stumbles into 1920s Paris and meets icons of art and literature. The time-travel in this film is never portrayed as anything more than fantasy and ultimately serves as a mechanism for exploring themes and character. I think last night in SoHo will use time-travel similarly. I would not be surprised at all if by the end of the film it'll be up for debate whether the time-travel was real or just a fantasy of some kind. As an aside, I swear I didn't bring up Midnight in Paris just because the main character shares my name, though Gill's are definitely underrepresented in cinema. Anyway, spending another moment on the time-travel mechanic just for fun I'm going to speculate that Eloise will use a phone booth as her quote-unquote time machine. After Edgar Wright tweeted that the film was delayed, Anya Taylor-Joy tweeted the same but added the line, once upon a time in a 60s telephone booth. Hearing this in the context of a time-travel film, it is impossible for me not to think of Doctor Who or Bill and Ted where phone booths are used as a means of time-travel. But if this is all in Eloise's head, wouldn't her mind draw from popular British culture in manifesting a method for time-travel? Going back to Wright's first point regarding the connection between Eloise and Sandy brings to my mind Roman Polanski's film Repulsion, one of the movie's Wright mentioned as an influence for this film. That movie focuses on a woman named Carol who suffers from angiophobia, a fear of interacting with men. Throughout the film, she slowly descends into madness and experiences terrifying hallucinations. I have a feeling last night in Soho will similarly chronicle Eloise's deteriorating mental state. In Deadline's plot description, they mentioned time seems to fall apart with shady consequences. Perhaps this is truly a description of what is happening to Eloise's mind and in her hallucinations that manifests as something happening to time itself. Further, this makes me wonder if the mysterious connection between Eloise and Sandy will remain mysterious throughout the film. Perhaps Eloise, idolizing Sandy and 60s London, fantasizes that she has some connection with her idol. However, fantasy crosses into obsession which, similar to Carol in the film Repulsion, leads her down a path of madness where she experiences another reality. One where she arrives in 60s London and attempts to discover this mysterious connection only to find that it constantly eludes her. She'll also find that Sandy's life, under the plastic surface shown in magazines and movies, is seedy and unpleasant. This photo from last night in Soho's official Instagram seems to be saying so explicitly. I read this as a message from Sandy that she is not who Eloise or anyone else would expect if they only know her public persona. This photo of Eloise from the same page also looks to me like someone who is perhaps mentally unwell. Speaking of seedy, by the way, in the 60s, Soho was considered London's red light district. Of the 100 strip clubs and adult shops in London, 60 could be found in Soho. Sex workers also operated out of so-called Soho walk-ups, flats with red lit doorbells or other indicators signaling the services offered within. The many photos on last night in Soho's Instagram flooded with red light definitely give the vibe that we're going to be spending time in the city's seedy underbelly. This is a good time to bring up the look of this film, one of the aspects I'm most excited about. Edgar Wright's films always have great visual flair so I assume this will be no exception. However, we can put any doubts to rest because he's brought on Chung Chung Hoon as a cinematographer. He is best known for his collaborations with Park Chan-Wook, including Old Boy, one of the most visually striking movies I've ever seen. So the idea of Chung Chung Hoon teaming up with Edgar Wright is an extremely exciting prospect. Wright is also working with Paul Mackless, his editor from Baby Driver, The World's End, and Scott Pilgrim vs The World. So there is no shortage of talent ensuring last night in Soho will look incredible. Let's look at who else is involved in the production. Edgar Wright is of course directing, but he is joined by Christie Wilson-Karrens who co-wrote the film. Her only feature film credit prior to this one is as co-writer for Sam Mendes' 1917. She was also a staff writer on Penny Dreadful's third season, so she should have no trouble bringing some creepy to the table. As far as the cast goes, we've already mentioned the two main characters, Thomas and Harcourt Mackenzie as Eloise and Anya Taylor-Joy as Sandy. The movie also stars Matt Smith, who, according to Collider, plays Sandy's manager. Also from this official photo, they may also have a personal relationship of sorts. I should also mention that Matt Smith played an iteration of Doctor Who. Are there evidence of a phone booth time machine? Maybe. A couple of other notable cast members are Diana Rigg and Terrence Stamp. No details have been released on either character, but Diana Rigg is credited as Miss Collins. Before diving into one more theory I have on this film, we should touch on the song which shares this movie's title. Last night in Soho was released in 1968. According to an interview with Esquire Magazine, Quentin Tarantino pointed him to this song. I already had the idea for the film and in fact I was going to call it something else. The band Dave D, Dozy Beaky, Mick and Tick have a song in Death Proof. And through that I heard this song Last Night in Soho by them and he put me on to that. And then way way later, years later, I said, you know what the new film is called? And he's like, yeah, Last Night in Soho. I assume Edgar Wright chose this song for more than just its title. So perhaps its lyrics can tell us something about the movie. One of the song's themes is trying to let go of a troubled past and make a new start. In some ways this sounds like Eloise's journey, trying to find a new beginning in 60's London. However, if her idol Sandy is also not who people think she is, perhaps she has a sorted past which she tries to move on from. Something which will come back to haunt her and Eloise. This is actually something Edgar Wright hinted at directly in his tweet announcing the film's delay. Haunted by someone else's past, but we'll see you in the future. It's true, Last Night in Soho is not quite finished yet due to COVID-19. The first part of that tweet, haunted by someone else's past, feels like very choice words. My thought is that in the midst of Eloise's madness there will be real confusion over identity. The line between Eloise and Sandy will blur where perhaps one will become the other. The refrain of the song feels appropriate here. For Last Night in Soho, I let my life go. Perhaps Eloise will literally let her life go in favor of Sandy's only to find once it's too late that she regrets this decision. Anyway, we're getting pretty deep into speculation mode so I think we can wrap it up there. I will mention that there are set photos floating around which I did not get into here. However, I'll include a couple of links in the description for those that are curious. I didn't find them to be overly spoilery. The main takeaway for me was that the production is doing a great job at recreating 60s London. Lastly, for those of you that, like me, are itching for a trailer, I would not be surprised if we have to wait a few more months for that. Edgar Wright announced in August last year that main unit photography was complete, meaning they should have plenty of footage for a trailer. But for smaller movies like this, trailers typically drop about 3-4 months prior to the film's release. So with an April 2021 release, I'm sadly not expecting a trailer until next year. Unless Wright and the studio want to give us a nice Halloween present this year. In the meantime, I'll entertain myself by rewatching Shaun of the Dead for the 100th time.

Hi, I'm Claire Dyson and I am a gardener and an outdoor educator and I love getting outside having adventures and doing stuff that involves looking at nature and finding out more about it. So today what we're going to do is something special for the birds in this town. So where we live there's lots of houses and there's birds around but the birds don't have loads and loads of food at the moment because it's winter. So what we're going to do is make a bird café and one of the things we're going to make for the bird café is these lovely delicious fat balls and they're going to help the birds have lots of fat and protein for them to eat and then that will give them lots more energy and get them through the last bit of the winter before they start meeting other birds, making nests and hopefully laying some eggs. The more we feed the birds and the more we help them and help nature on its way then the more birds we're going to have in this little community and that's going to be great. Even though it's February and it's a bit cold and it's a bit wet at the moment you can still get out and hopefully you've been able to build a shelter that Ross showed you how to do the other day. So we've got our shelter up in the garden and we've also got a fire going.  It's in a nice safe space and it's a bit smoky but that's okay and that's just keeping it nice and cosy out here and I've also got loads of layers so if I'm looking a bit poofy that's because I've got probably about six layers on under here and some nice big thick boots so that I can stay warm and enjoy being outside comfortably cos that's really important. So the types of birds we might get in the garden here would be robins, blackbirds, thrushes. Sometimes we see blue tits we saw some this morning and sparrows, great tits and those kind of birds so we're not going to see necessarily herons or eagles or kestrels or anything like that that you might see out in more wilder places but in a town those are the sorts of birds that we might see here. Okay this is really quick and easy to do and what you're going to need is some old pine cones. Now if you don't have any of these I'm going to tell you some other ways you can do this later but if you've got some pine cones that's great. They need to be nice and open so they need to be warm. Pine cones are a bit magic actually. If you leave them out in the cold they'll close up and go all tight a bit like you might if it was cold and if you put them in front of the fire or on a radiator then they'll kind of start to open up and all these parts of the pine cone is just open, fan open and then that's where we're going to put our bird feed. Okay so we need a pine cone and a piece of string and if you need any help you can just ask whoever you live with your mum or your dad or your guardian and then what we're going to do is tie this around here nice and tight so it won't fall off so just around the top of the pine cone and I'm going to do a double knot. It doesn't really matter what knot you use and then that hangs nice and firmly from that piece of string. Okay now we've done that part we're going to do this fun bit which is to I'm going to pour in all the different seeds. So what we've got here is all the ingredients we need for our fat balls which is peanuts and they're good quality peanuts. We've got this mixture here that I got from the shop and that is a mixture of sunflower hearts, millet, it's got oats in it and what else have we got? Some maize and some sunflower seeds so all sorts of different seeds that are in that mix and we're going to put both of these mixes in together. We're also going to put in some raisins so some nice juicy raisins and cheese as well so I need much more than that so we're going to put these in, mix these in and peanuts, just kind of equal measures really of all of these and this is grated cheese, birds love a bit of grated cheese and that's full of fat which they need to keep warm in the winter and then the raisins and we're going to mix that up. It's good to get your hands in there or if you want to and you don't want to get your hands dirty you can use a big spoon but I quite like to get my hands in there. So with these ingredients you can't go wrong but just make sure that the peanuts, they're not salted, the birds won't want the salt on the peanuts so just make sure they're plain peanuts and if you stick to some of the bird feeds in the shops they'll be great. As well as these ingredients that I've just shown you with the peanuts and all the small seeds, raisins and cheese you can add in a few other little ingredients so birds really like cooked rice but it's got to be cooked and maybe some small breadcrumbs so if you've got some leftover stale bread you can put some really tiny breadcrumbs in as well and another thing if you're feeling really brave is you can put in some mealworms and you can get those from the shops and they are dried real worms so if you're a bit squeamish you might not like it but if you don't mind I know the robins wouldn't mind and they love those so you can add those into your mix so here we go that's our mix so what we're going to bind it all together with we've got some lard so this is sold in the shops as well next to the margarine normally and it's just a bit of dripping or lard it's called so you can get some of that on your shop and we're going to chop it up and we need to melt it down so what we're going to do is chop it into really small chunks and luckily we've got a fire to melt it all on so I'm just going to put that into the pan all crumbled up and ready for melting over the fire right so I've put a special glove on this is a leather glove you don't want a plastic glove or if you don't have a leather glove you could use an oven glove it stops your hand getting burnt over the fire or touching anything hot so that's really good I'm just going to put that on there for a minute and let that start to warm up a bit okay that's just about done you don't want it too hot just melted and warm and definitely not too hot so I'm going to pour this all over the seeds lovely that's a whole block of lard gone in there the birds are going to love it okay take my glove off now and we're going to give that a really good stir just like baking a cake that's starting to look really good yeah that's going to be so happy right so we've got our pinecone with its string and then you're going to have to get your hands in there you might want to wear a pair of marigold gloves for this I don't know but if you don't mind getting a bit dirty you can just squidge it in there and then make sure you get a really good covering all the way over the pinecone okay so really squidging it in there what a lovely you're definitely going to wash your hands after this one so I'm going to start on another one squidging it in and just remember the birds don't mind if it doesn't look perfect they're going to eat it anyway because they're going to be really hungry winter is a really hard time for the birds and they have to keep warm and fed and they're getting ready to think about spring and all that that's going to bring for them with nest building so they need as much energy as they can get so I'm going to pop that on there if you've got mixture left over you can keep it in the fridge and then when these are emptied by the birds and you can just warm it back up again on the stove or on a fire or in a microwave and just warm it back up and then it will go soft again and then you'll be able to squid it back on so you can keep topping them up the really nice thing about using pinecones and garden string is there's no plastic involved so at the end when the birds have finished pecking off all the food it means you're left with a beautiful little pinecone hanging out of a tree or off a feeder so it still looks nice and also it's all stuff that will rot back into the ground eventually one day not like plastic which can't rot anywhere so we want to have as minimal impact as we can in feeding our birds so we're just going to use these pinecones so if you run out of pinecones or you haven't got any that's okay what you can do is just roll these into fatty balls and what we're going to do is just put those into the into the bowl there and then I'm going to put those in the fridge so that they go hard and what you could do is put them onto a bird table if you have one and feed the birds that way so that's a way of getting around not having any pinecones another way you can make these fat balls for the birds is to get some cases for cupcakes and put up a little bit of a hole through there and poke a bit of string through a bit of garden string or any string you have at home and tie a knot in it and then that string that's sitting in the cupcake case easy for me to say can sit there and you can pour the mix that you've made into the case and then put it into the fridge and these are some that I made earlier so we just got these out of the fridge and we're going to can take the case off there we go they can go on the fire and look at that lovely fat ball so we've got those and we've got the pinecone ones and we've got the loose ones that can sit on a bird table so loads of options of how to do this I think the birds are going to be very happy we have got loads of these bird fat balls so what we're going to do with them I think I might leave them on the doorstep to a few of my neighbours and see whether they'll put them up in their gardens and then the birds will be nicely spread out all around the community okay so let's get these hung up in the garden so I'm going to tie this up in this little tree here in our garden we've only got a tiny garden but we make the most of it I'm going to tie that onto the branch and it's nice and high and it's away from the wall or anything where cats can get to cats can be a real problem for birds and there's lots around so we need to just make sure that it's out the way of any predators and I've put them up next to some peanuts and some other just seeds on those feeders so there it is, our fat balls, I hope you enjoy making those too so now all you need to do is find a quiet spot, keep out the way, keep quiet and see what comes into the bird cafe to eat I like to keep a pen and paper handy so that I can write down what comes in and what different species are there and there's so many different species you might even want to get a book like this one so you can look all the birds up and find out more about them if you want to look a little closer at the birds you could get some binoculars and they help you see loads of detail on the birds and helps you identify them even more easily or if you haven't got a pair of binoculars you could always make your own these are some I made earlier speaking of finding out more you could join your local wildlife trust or the RSPB, they've got fantastic websites with loads of activities and ideas and that will help you learn even more about wildlife Upload your photos and you could be in with a chance of winning a far-raven goodie bag and at the end of the week one lucky family will win a whole family of rucksacks
