Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We have an insane Black Friday market to talk about after the big day yesterday, signature signings cards in packs, and this insane Benzema Flashback SBC. A lot of stuff happened yesterday that we expected, and a lot of stuff happened yesterday that we didn't expect. But what you did see yesterday in total was a ton of packs opened, literally millions of lightning round packs were opened between the early lighting rounds and the later lighting rounds, because EA went for the bag yesterday and they did lighting rounds twice. And there's still packs going on right now that have bringing continual supply to this market, which to me still brings a little bit of worry on some of these gold cards and some of the team of the weeks and stuff like that. There's gonna be a lot more market movements into Saturday. Now right now I'm recording this right around 9 p.m. UK time Friday night heading into today on Saturday. I'm recording a bit early. But also by the way, it's good to be back. It is great to be back at the setup, not on the companion app, right? I mean, those are videos, we have a time and place for those. You'll see those again at some point this year in FIFA 22, whenever I go on vacation basically. But it's good to be back at the setup in full swing. So again, let's talk about this market. Signature signings, everything that happened yesterday. Again, tons of movements. I did make some coins yesterday. It wasn't as insane as I would have liked it to be. There were movements yesterday that would have made you millions. I made a decent amount. One card that's not included here is I bought a, this took up a lot of my coins around the content drop. I bought a baby Zidane for 2.09 and I sold it for a 2.27. So that was about 60K profit. I bought this at 7.30. And then I bought two Vinny Juniors at 1.50 and I have a LAM right now that I'm trying to flip. So I mean, I still made well over 100,000 coins yesterday but there's also some stuff at the moment that I'm losing on because there's a lot of panic selling. I've got some Sinaldos. You can see here, I got some Sinaldos at like 57, 58,000 coins. I think 58 is the highest that I paid. This guy is out of packs. But what really, what really did not do this Sinaldo well today was that Benzema SBC and having so much hype for La Liga links, it really killed and really diminished a lot of the rest of the market that wasn't super duper meta or La Liga. So I wanna take a look at that SBC and how that affected the market as well. And of course, starting off with the signature signings players on this game, these guys had insane movements yesterday. So as we expected, right? We talked about this in yesterday's video. These guys came into packs at 2PM UK early as early for normal, right? Renato went down to 500,000 coins right before the content drop and he absolutely exploded in the hours after because what you had was you had a lot of people that wanted to try this card out. A lot of people that got coins from opening lightning round packs and they just went out and they bought this card with those coins that they had. And yes, there was a lot of supply but there's also so much demand on this market for these brand new promo cards that all rebounded incredibly. Now that's not even to mention the fodder cards. Dude, there was so many coins that were taken off the market today because of these cards. These cards, take a look at this Edwards, right? This dude literally went to discard right away down to like 12,000 coins. All of these cards went to 55 to 60,000 coins in the second hour because of this Benzema SBC. And if you take a look at the Benzema SBC it's coming in at about 121,000 coins. You know, right away it was 80K. It was 80,000 coins right away. And that's kind of the true value of this SBC to be completely honest with you. But when you throw in one of these signature signings players that is required for the SBC at like 50,000 coins that's inflating the price literally by 50K. Massively inflating the price of this Benzema but everybody is doing this SBC because it's an insane looking card. They changed the work rates to be high, low. He's got a lot of pace. His agility was boosted. His balance was boosted. Look at that, plus 11 agility from the gold plus 16 balance plus 13 pace. He actually got a huge defending upgrade as well. 94 heading accuracy and his defensive awareness and interceptions are way up. So I don't know if you wanna try to play him as like a midfielder, but high, low work rates. I mean, it's a really, really dope card. I know a lot of people have used the Benzema from earlier on in the year with this Player of the Month card. And I think this is bringing people back to the Benzema card because it does have pace and it has really good stats. It's French, it links in with basically everything else that everybody is using at the moment and it was pretty cheap and it's just an insane looking card, right? So this is a dub of an SBC. Look at this, 8,000 thumbs up for this SBC. Absolutely insane. And that really controlled the market because of what you saw was a lot of players like the Vinny Jr. Inform that linked to that Benzema absolutely flew today. Take the first Inform Vinny, for example, out of packs, look at this dude. He was 180, he was actually 140, went up to 150 because what you had yesterday as well on Friday with this market is you see this card just continue to go up. What you had yesterday, since these cards released early, since these cards were released at 2 p.m. UK and EA put out lightning rounds, right? A lot of people opened up their saved up packs, they opened up their lightning rounds or their fever points that they had and the top left-hand corner of their screen up there. And what happens after that, right? People get their coins from opening packs, they pack their players, they sell them, whatever. They go out and they buy teams and they buy teams. So what you saw yesterday was a lot of cards on the market actually went up in price heading into 6 p.m. UK because people are not just gonna sit there and wait for 6 p.m. Some people did but a lot of people went out and just bought cards and that's why you saw the market actually rising before our normal 6 p.m. content drop because of that exact thing right there. People opened their packs and they're like, all right, I gotta play weak in league so I'm gonna go buy cards for my team. That's why you saw the market start to rise and I think that hurt some of our buying power because if I remember correctly last year, and this is what we talked about in last night's video, I was not expecting lightning rounds until 6 p.m. But EA, of course, knowing they could grab the bag today, went ahead and dropped the lightning rounds early and then collected the bag again with the lightning rounds at a normal time, 6, 7, 8 p.m. UK with the 50, 100 and 125,000 coin packs that were in the store. So that is why you saw these cards make the movements that they had in reality it was people had coins from opening lightning rounds and opening saved up packs. And then these cards were so good to try out that everybody wanted to get their hands on them, right? This Renato absolutely flew, right? And even for SBC fodder, like this whole market yesterday, you know, we talked about, we were so worried about the supply this year, the supply this, the supply that. And to be completely honest, yesterday there was so much demand, there was an overwhelming amount of demand for the coins that were put on the market yesterday for some of these insanely meta cards.  Now I was expecting some of that, like I was expecting, and we talked about yesterday too, cards like Vinny Jr. or Mbappe to get cheap before the content drop and then rise up again. And that's exactly what happened. And Mbappe was down to like two points, he was basically two mil in the low two million coin range. And boom, now Mbappe is what, up at 2.2. He was actually, I believe Mbappe was like 2.26 or 2.27 at one point, selling yesterday. So there was a ton of buyback on a lot of the market because again, we talked about this as well. All we had for the last week was people selling, people were selling icons, they were selling cards in this game and just waiting for the market crash. And a lot of times on Black Friday, a lot of the market crash happens ahead of time.  And that is exactly what you saw yesterday. The supply just didn't seem to like destroy the market as much as we thought it was going to. But I think that's just because there were so many people waiting to buy and expecting the market to get destroyed. Now, the prices on this game, I look at Kempembe all the time for this example. Kempembe was like 18K, he rose to 22. Right now he's back at like 18, 19K again. A card like this, as packs are continually being released, now they're about to update this, 9 p.m. in the store on our Friday. I'm curious to see what they update. Because for the last hour, the last hour what they've had is unlimited 50K packs and eight 125s. Now the first hour at 2 p.m. UK, they dropped 50K lighting round, 80,000 of them. At 3 p.m. UK, which was the second hour after the cards were in packs, I think they dropped like 100,000, 100Ks. Then they waited no more lighting rounds until 6, 7 and 8 p.m. UK. At 8 p.m. UK, they dropped 600,000, 125K packs, which we did the math on stream, if those would have sold out, which they didn't. There was like 100,000 short. That would have been $15 million just from a PlayStation alone. So EA is making absolute bank today, right? Of course. Now what are they releasing here? They released another lighting round, 85 plus star rare player pack. This is exactly how they did it last year. 125,000 of these, 70K packs, and then four hours for 15, 100Ks. Wow. I'm interested to see the pack probabilities on this. 6.3% of the summer signature signings and 18% on team week. Wow, dude, that's the thing. There's just going to be continual supply on supply on supply. And especially as we head into the night tonight and into today, Friday night into Saturday, I really just see the supply starting to eat away at these prices on the market. I know you've seen rebounds, like Kim Pembe went from 18 to 22, but thinking about all these star signings players that people are opening the packs that are being opened right now, I really think that you're going to start to see a lot of the market. We had a big buyback, and I think you're about to see the market continually kind of slow down and really realize that these prices that we saw today in rebounds back up, they're not going to be fully supported. Oh my goodness. Take a look at Goldmane. Goldmane was 100,000 coins. This is a card that has been eaten alive by supply today. He is down at 77K. That's actually crazy. This guy has dropped almost 25% today. He was 100,000 coins this morning, and now he's 77K. That's a massive, massive drop off on that card. And for a lot of the rest of the market, I know it got bought up. I know a lot of prices went up, whether it was because of Benzema or whether it was because of people just wanting to buy teams, and today was their day to buy teams. I really do think that you're seeing this stuff. It kind of reached a peak, right? Even out-of-pack stuff is going down. De Bruyne is out of packs. He's down at 55K. Salah was 10K up from where he is now at 175. He's now at 165. Your out-of-packs cards did the best, right? Usman Dambelia. We didn't get the Gelsen Martins SBC yet. We'll talk about that more into today's video. Like, Gelsen Martins is probably still gonna affect the market a ton later on this week. But like, Conte's inform, just like the Renato and the Bignetter really bounced. Conte was down here at like 500K, and then exploded to 600,000 coins. And right now, he's 585. So as you're watching this video, you're like, man, Nate, these prices that you saw here were actually up. I still think that you're gonna see prices actually still drop even more into Saturday today because that supply, like all of your buyback, your demand has really ended now. And all this supply that is now coming over top of that is gonna push these prices lower. Prices of the cards, impacts, and prices of like the signature signings, prices of the best of the team of the week, prices of the gold, and stuff like that, even fodder a little bit too. A lot of people were waiting until after 6PM yesterday on Friday to buy fodder, but look what happened. Fodder dropped down with the first set of lightning rounds. I bought fodder right in here. Basically an hour before content, I was buying some of the higher rated stuff. And some of this fodder went up as so many people were buying on bid and on snipe, and it's kind of come back down because people like bought it up. Like there was so much investing that fodder actually went up from people just going out and buying into cards. So what I honestly think you're gonna see right now is yes, the market has a lot of coins on it right now because there's so many packs that have been opened and continually opening on this game. We still have these flash SBCs, right? This Black Friday tab that we were expecting. The flash SBCs are in here. This one expires in 25 minutes. We're gonna continue to get nice packs in here and we're gonna continue to see people go out and do these and that's gonna supply like get a tradable mega pack. Just stay tuned to EA's Twitter because they're tweeting out all of these packs right here on this game. Now I'm gonna do the Benzema. I've got it almost done. He literally fits perfectly into my team. It's gonna be Benzema and R9 up top. I mean, that's pretty dope, right? But so many people are spamming the Team Week upgrade even though they're trash. People are spamming the upgrade packs. Now let's talk about market today a little bit more as well. Into Saturday, if prices are gonna drop some more, which I think they are, we have Team of the Week, best of Team of the Week number two is going to be dropping today in this game and I wanna show you, I wanna show you what that best of Team of the Week is because I was tagged in a tweet earlier today where EA Sports actually tweeted it out early, right? This, right here, they deleted this tweet, one of the official EA pages, but this is gonna be the best of Team of the Week that is actually in packs today and we'll talk about the schedule a little bit more. Carrasco, Barela, Gabriel Jesus, Depai, Marquinhos, Mane, Kane, Neymar, Benzema and Kimmich. Those are gonna be the best of Team of the Week that replace best of Team of the Week one today on Saturday. They are the new items coming into packs and then there's gonna be a signature stars or a signature signings, mini-release to come out on Sunday, right? We still haven't seen like Eurente, people were talked about Eduard Mendee. Those are gonna be some cards I think we'll see on Sunday with a mini-release. As you can see right here, it's released on Sunday. Now everything is in packs until Tuesday, so this promo is basically done on Tuesday, which is very interesting. I think today on Saturday, there's gonna be a lot of big upgrade SBCs released. Right now we're gonna talk about it and even says here, don't worry, we didn't forget about upgrade SBCs, a variety of repeatable and non-repeatable SBCs will be released throughout the weekend as well. Flash SBCs are only on Friday and Sunday. I guess so today on Saturday, we won't see many of those flash SBCs. There's gonna be actually a W objective where you play like 25 games or something like that and you get a couple packs which is dope. And then here's the engagement streak. I wanted to point this out as well. Complete four days in a row to earn the group reward from the corresponding Black Friday objective and you can go and see this in the objective section as well, so I did the day one, so hopefully it continues to be a W.  What's gonna happen today with like an icon repeatable SBC and what about that Black Friday pack that was like a guaranteed ones to watch, guaranteed rule breaker or road to the knockout item? I think that might be some of the content that we see today on Saturday and maybe tomorrow into Sunday, because if we take a look at some of the live SBCs, the foot hero and the base icon upgrade are both expiring today on Saturday. In my opinion, there's a mid icon pack that is in the code. If EA, which they haven't done this yet, they might release a base icon upgrade repeatable. That could be something that they could do or they could just switch and go straight up to the mid icon. Now honestly, I would expect a base icon repeatable first then maybe later in the week next week, we would get like a mid icon non-repeatable one time. I feel like it might be a little early for that still, but I think there's gonna be another icon upgrade SBC release today. I also think today is gonna be the release of our league specific upgrade. So you're like, you're 81 plus double from Bundesliga Premier League or you're Bundesliga three players pack. I think that is gonna be content that we see today on Saturday as well with the first set of best of team that we cards going out of packs. So the focus is probably today gonna switch to and as it usually does day one, it's all about when do I buy teams on Black Friday? Like it's all about teams, buying cards, people buying items and linking their squads together to play weekend league and a lot of packs being opened saved up packs, that kind of stuff. But then when you go later on to the weekend, EA know that so many people have open fever points, so many people have spent money on packs and what they do is is they release just SBCs upon SBCs and that really is what kind of brings the market down post Black Friday on a lot of levels is gonna be those SBCs in the store. So I don't think that SBC fodder was a bad buy. I actually did a club stock of fodder yesterday on the higher ratings like 87 and above. You can see something here, right? I got Kane, 42,000 coins, Terstegen, 45, that was an early buy, Neuer 43. I think I have another Terstegen on here, maybe not. Kane at 45,000 early buy too, Oblak at 54. Yesterday what I did was like club stock fodder and I actually bought some of these ones to watches. Like Delaney, it was 25K, right? With anticipating the upgrade for his card soon. Same thing with like Dumfries, I got a Dumfries at 15K, he was gonna be 20,000 coins. Tapsoba was 56K like two days ago, I bought him, Subbitzer, they played today. Upmakano and Subbitzer played today for their fifth win. I bought a Grealish at 25K and L-Shot at 23. Some D-Ops at like 27. Just because those are the live cards that have upgrades coming in the next two weeks that everybody forgot about yesterday. So I did some of that and their prices are still low.  So just be aware of that on this market as well at the moment. But honestly, there was so much supply added to the game yesterday, it was kind of deceiving. There was so much supply added to the game, but prices didn't absolutely get like pummeled. Some of these icons like haven't moved, but that's even scary when prices have not moved just because of how much supply was released, especially if it was an impact card. Now again, trading with icons yesterday was fantastic. Some of them fluctuated insane, insane amounts. Like this alarm keeps going between 1.25, 1.35. I would like him to go back to 1.35 because I have one on my transit list at the moment, but there were so many fluctuations to be profited on yesterday with some of these cards. Now, if they drop a huge SBC today, which is somewhat possible, I think we'll get a player SBC today as well. That Gelson Martins did not drop yesterday. That could still be an SBC that we see today, right? That was a leaked SBC that was gonna be coming out as a part of this promo. That could still be something that would impact the market today, in my opinion. It's just gonna be a very overall, it's gonna be a crazy day on day two on Saturday today. I'm just a little bit worried about the supply. There's gonna be more lightning rounds, say, with these signature signings cards, impacts, and stuff like that. I think these card prices are probably gonna drop off a bit more, but I would watch off for a lot of panic selling specifically on those like Best of Team of the Week II cards that are expected to be in the Best of Team of the Week II, like Inform Marquinhos, and just like we saw yesterday, right? There was so much panic selling ahead of these cards being dropped in packs, like the summer signings and the Best of Team of the Week I. Watch out for Marquinhos and Neymar and Mané today for these cards to potentially get panic sold so much that they would actually rebound after the content dropped tomorrow, depending on what it is, with the same movement that we had yesterday with Conte and with Messi and those really meta Team of the Week cards. So I would be just very, very careful with that, but again, we can't mess with the supply on this game, the supply is crazy. A lot of you guys, like I mentioned, I was gonna buy Marquinhos and Campembe for my team. I have not purchased these cards yet, right? I still think that Marquinhos is gonna drop even though he's going out of packs, he's 60K. I haven't bought Campembe yet because I think Campembe might hit 15K. He might hit 15K in the next two days, right? He's only three, four K away, one big SBC, and look at all these re-lists. Look at all these Campembe's at 17K, right? He's gonna continue to drop, in my opinion, and same thing with Don Maruma. So like gold cards that are in packs, ooh, voice crack, that was really bad. The gold cards that are in packs, I'm still staying away from. I'm still waiting on and waiting for a potential buy time later on this weekend because I don't need them for my team just yet. But I'd be very, very careful with all the supply that was dropped yesterday. There's gonna be more insane movements and fluctuations on this market. I would try to stick to the out-of-packs cards. That's where I would go. That's where I would go. Especially whenever they drop this Black Friday pack, there's gonna be panic selling on ones-to-watches, rule breakers, and road to the knockouts. That's gonna be a absolutely perfect place to look on the market when there is panic selling on those items. Because especially the really rare ones like this Werner, if people sell this back down to 835, you're probably gonna wanna get involved with that. Watch out for some of the other cards that rebounded well yesterday, like rule breakers Alfonso Davies. Rule breakers Alfonso Davies was 180,000 coins. He is right now 200K. He's 200,000 coins on this game. If there's panic selling on a card like this today, that would be the perfect type of item that you would hopefully expect to bounce back because not many people are gonna pack him from that Black Friday pack, right? So that's the kind of stuff that I'll be looking out for. The out-of-packs are gonna be the safest place. Also, icons are gonna be great to trade with fluctuations as there's more coins in this game. People are gonna be willing to pay the big bucks for an icon card for their team. So again, just be very, very wary of the supply because there's gonna be a lot of it coming in. And when people are done with their week in the games, they're gonna start to sell this stuff off. They really, really are. And there's a lot of people that are spamming upgrade packs and that's draining coins in this market as well. But this market is definitely more, I guess you could say richer with all the coins that are put on the game. But also there's a lot more cards on the market from the supply. So I would see that a lot of these card prices are still, in my opinion, gonna go down unless they're out-of-packs stuff, especially the golds. I really like that money, really, really getting destroyed in price. He's going out of packs today, but after seeing what Sun and Salah and De Bruyne have done after their gold draw out of packs, I really don't wanna invest in that money. Not at the moment at least. So an insane day of Black Friday, it's gonna get crazy again today on Saturday with more lightning rounds, more supply and, you know, a lot of people went out and bought their teams. So we'll see if any content today on Saturday makes people panic sell their teams or the fear of content makes people panic sell their teams any more than it did yesterday. So that's the video for today. I know it was a long one. Thanks for hanging in there with me. There's a lot to talk about, but it has been Nate's Foot Accounting. I will catch you guys later. Peace.


Now you will embrace the team. Okay. Very much. I will also be very brief because I am very excited. I am very, very excited. First I want to recognise the presence of my fellow cabinet ministers in the parliament here, director of sport. The position of Zanda president is general secretary and indeed everyone who is invited, the coach, taking a pledge we need to recognise you and the players. First I want also to sound as a broken record that we need to pour I think some congratulative messages to everyone. First congratulations to everyone. It seems to be easy but it wasn't easy. This journey has not been very easy. You know you carried more than 19 million on your shoulders especially you players and taken to the bench. You add me every time telling the person of Zanda we don't have a reason not to qualify because we've not been there for three consecutive times. So we are saying we cannot afford not to be there for the fourth consecutive time. And you've just delivered what you promised. I was having a chat with Frankie, the captain, Rwambo who also assured me. I think it's also fashion. They assured me that not this time around we are going to Africa and through to their way this is what we need to witness. And you know it is very, very important that we have won every cost because for me that was an event. It was an event. Before you could assemble a good team, they were looked as three women at their backyard but today we have now avenged. And I think now we've sent some shivers in their camp that Zanda is not a team that you can just play around with. Most importantly we have qualified before even playing the last game. I think that is the most important. So as we go to Komoros it's now Zanda that will be looking for maximum points in Komoros so that we qualify with more than flying colors. So I want to thank you more sincerely and I think what is important for me now to tell you is that as we are excited as government because when government is excited it means the whole nation is excited. Now that all of us are excited, yes remember fashion and others when we met in the office we had increased some allowances and this time around the only thing I would do is to make sure that every qualification comes with the bonus. I want to make sure that players are motivated you need to be motivated and for that I want to announce that there is a $5,000 for each for every player, just that is the bonus not those winning bonuses, no for qualification for you just to take us to Ivan Koso so meaning you have the $5,000 as your winning bonus and also a $5,000 for qualifying I think for me that was an important announcement so that we motivate you what we are doing is that as we motivate you we are also motivating the Zambian themselves because they want to see you winning and there are people that may not understand what comes along with winning so for us who understand what comes along with winning we are able to know that if we just inject something I know we have a limited budget but always this ministry has been there to make sure that we find resources with my family secretary and you know when you are working with your family secretary man is not a problem because we can even dig somewhere so please make sure that each player has taken revenge everyone who is involved gets their pay including us I said everyone who is it I want also now to congratulate taking revenge and I also want to appreciate the revenge when Grant came into my office the first time he was engaged the assignment I gave Grant was that we are looking at nothing but to qualify the team to after couple finals and he has just delivered so let's first see what everywhere is very important we always say it unifies people it unifies the factor you have seen how left it was inside the stadium so no one can talk about anything because of these players so I want also to thank you I thank you for the job owner please continue making us proud continue putting the smile on the face because I think that's what we deserve so thank you once again thank you coach

live on Facebook in order to be placed in the holy grill back to my brother Hussein Sakhni so like my dear brother Muhammad Ali mentioned he is now taking names please don't forget to message us on Facebook comment on the live feed tweet us Instagram us available all over social media don't forget to share to get more people the opportunity to send their salutations to the Imam أبي عبد الله Hussein and of course أبد فضل العباس peace and blessings be upon them both one thing I would like to say and one thing that I felt yesterday when we first started our fast here was I remembered the thirst the stories we hear of the thirst of Abu Fadal here in Karbala now I pray to Allah for the sake of Abu Fadal to grant those who may find difficulty especially in Karbala with the heat where it reaches to the highs of 45 degrees degrees Celsius of course we pray to Allah to grant them patience during the time of fasting for the sake of Abu Fadal the one who was thirsty during Karbala so don't forget Abu Fadal at this time of fasting don't forget any member of the Ahl al-Bait at the time of fasting these are moments of remembrance of the Ahl al-Bait the moments of عبادة the moments of Salah so as we are getting messages in now on Facebook and Twitter we'll be writing them down as well so don't forget to mention the Imam of our time Imam صاحب الأسر والزمان don't forget to mention Abu Fadal don't forget to mention the Ahl al-Bait when through struggles in their life in this land where we are standing now in this holy land of Karbala the land that is a patch of heaven itself now for me personally I used to live in the UK but now that I am here in Karbala I feel like I truly am free I am in heaven I do not want to leave this city this city that has the blessings and the it is the burial spot of the lights of Allah نور الله the Ahl al-Bait Imam Al-Hussain the Ansar of Imam Al-Hussain the place where Sayyid Zainab set her foot just imagine can you find them how great of a land this is now I'd like to pass on back to my brother Muhammad Ali where he will be writing the names down so please don't forget put your names down and send your salutations to the Imam brothers and sisters the thirst and hunger of the fasting days of Ramadan it takes us back to the siege that was imposed upon the Ahl al-Bait عليهم السلام and the days of Karbala and the days of Ashura and the army the unjust army have or had imposed an unfair siege upon children and peaceful people who came for the sake of religion for the sake of reformation they imposed that siege and they kept away the children out of water they kept women out of water no water no food so hopefully that thirst and that hunger would remind you of the Ahl al-Bait would remind you of the calamities that the Ahl al-Bait عليهم السلام have been through it is very difficult and heartbreaking also to see millions of poor people it is also the fasting the thirst and hunger is also a moral lesson for you for me for everyone to bring back to their minds the hungry people those who live in the impoverished countries in the war-torn zones particularly in Syria Yemen and all over the war-torn places in the world hopefully that hunger and that thirst would bring you closer to Allah SWT would bring you closer to humanity would bring you closer to the hungry people those thirsty ones with the emigrants in the middle of the sea with the unjust people those those who were unjustifiably kept in prisons people of Bahrain people of Qadif those who are kept in prisons for weeks those who are unjustified those who basically came out ask for their rights brothers and sisters I leave you now with my brother Hussein Sukhni Thank you very much brother Muhammad Ali on those very important points you touched upon but I think one important thing we both forgot was the Ziyara of Abu Abdullah Al-Hussein so we can now send out salutations not for us but for the viewers at home insha'Allah we start off by saying السلام عليك يا أبا Abdullah Al-Hussein وعلى الأرواح التي حلت بفنائك السلام علي الحسين وعلى علي بن الحسين وعلى أولاد الحسين وعلى أصحاب الحسين وعلى حاملي لواء الحسين أبل فضل العباس ورحمة الله وبركاته this is very important that we are here now giving you the opportunity in fact opportunity for us as well so it's an amazing opportunity that we are here now words can't explain that we are standing

Good evening, everyone, and welcome. This is Melissa Armel of the Stock Swoosh, and I'm here reviewing IBM. So I have a trade that I'm putting out tonight for this in the options letter. There's already one on. Quite different, though, than the one I'm calling. I had called the 155 puts back here on this day. It went through the strike immediately, and fell, fell, fell. The target was 150. So now I'm calling a new trade in this, a separate trade, a different trade, another trade in IBM that is going to work. I mean, the last one worked, and it could still be in play. It could still be in it for the second move, or you could have got out of it at 150 and made $5 through the strike. Or you can do the one here that I am going to call again. Either way, this whole chart is lower. And one of the nice things about doing options by using the Golden Gap rating system is that you can hold them longer. You can get much bigger moves. You have to be a little patient. For example, it took one, two, three, four. It took four days to get to the number, but it was a big trade, $5 plus through the strike. So you have to be a little patient in these, but you can have some enormous trades and huge profitability in these. I mean, some of the trades I've called have been 400% return investment within a week or a couple of days. So sometimes I call these quite out quite far.  It depends really on the position of the gap and also the stock itself, because I know how these stocks move, depending on what I'm calling. In this case, it's IBM. I'm talking about the other ones I call in the letter. And this did gap down today and had a nice sell-off with the market. But either way, this was lower anyways. So the point I'm trying to make is that this has a really nice target in it. I'm getting this call out tonight for people to buy the put into the morning, into the day tomorrow morning on Thursday and we'll see where it goes. You know, so those two trades in play with this at once, which is hilarious, but I think a lot of people got out last week when they hit the first target, which was fine. Anyways, good luck everybody. This is a nice, nice chart. IBM is definitely lower.  So, you know, if the market does have a move lower for one day or two days, and it could be a week, I don't know. I mean, we'll see where the market ends up gapping tomorrow morning on Thursday, but what I'm saying is that this is lower anyways, irregardless of the market. So any pulling with the market will help this to push it down even more to a much bigger move. And I always felt this would break 150. You know, 145 really is the next number. That seems far away now, but not really, because things that sell-off will go quickly.  And if you'd like to sign up for that, you can email me at melissathestockswush.com. It's an annual subscription, and it costs $29.99 for the year to do this. And it's a great deal. I mean, you could make more than that in one trade. And people are doing really good with these. I've just had some enormous calls in the last month. And just because the market fell red today, doesn't mean I'm gonna have any more or any less. You know, you play the gap and you play the stock in the direction it is when it rates per the 26-point system. And that's how I do it. And I'm extremely focused on the quality picks that I'm trying to give here to everyone to do, because I want people to make money. And that's the goal. So have a great night, everyone. Email me at melissathestockswush.com if you'd like more information also on the Golden Gap class, which is this weekend, May 20th, 21st, and 22nd. Thanks, everybody. Have a great day.


How to fix ten common errors in English from EspressoEnglish.net Number one, it is very important to practice English. The correct sentence is, it is very important to practice English. In this structure, when a verb is used after an adjective, the verb is in the two infinitive. For example, it's better to apologize. It's great to see you. It's difficult to find a parking spot. Number two, I want to take part of the event. That's not correct. The correct sentence is, I want to take part in the event. The expression take part in is an informal way to say participate in. The expression part of means a piece of or some of. For example, part of this apple is rotten. I'm glad to be part of the team. Number three, don't say these are my favorite shoes. The correct sentence is, these are my favorite shoes. Adjectives are always singular in English, even if the noun is plural. For example, our house has three small rooms.  I have a couple of friendly dogs. Number four, A, she takes always a long time to finish. The correct sentence is, she always takes a long time to finish. The word always comes before the main verb. Here are more examples. We always take the bus to school. I always forget to close the window. You always think you're right. Number four, B, he always is late. That's not correct. The correct sentence is, he is always late or he's always late. The only exception to the rule about always coming before the main verb is when the verb is a form of to be. In this case, always comes after to be. For example, we're always tired at the end of the day. I was always the top student in my class. In the future, the word always comes in the middle, will always be. For example, she will always be my best friend. These heroes will always be remembered. Number five, I couldn't attend to the class yesterday. The correct sentence is, I couldn't attend the class yesterday. When you are present in a place, use the verb attend without to. For example, attend a meeting, attend a conference, and attend a seminar. Attend to means something different. It means to deal with some business or take care of something. For example, I have to attend to some important matters. Paramedics attended to the victims of the accident. Number six, we arrived to the airport at three o'clock. The correct sentence is, we arrived at the airport at three o'clock. We use go to and get to, but we arrive at a place and arrive in a city or country. For example, you can say, we got to the party just as it was starting. Got to is an informal way to say arrived at. We arrived at the party just as it was starting. If we take the express train, we'll get to Berlin in an hour. Or if we take the express train, we'll arrive in Berlin in an hour. But don't say arrive to, it's not correct. Also, remember that the word home doesn't take any prepositions. For example, we arrived home early. We got home early. And let's go home. You don't need to say go to home. Just say go home. Number seven, the accident caused a lot of damages to the car. The correct sentence is, the accident caused a lot of damage to the car. Damage is considered an uncountable noun and is always singular. The word damage means harm or problems to an object or property. The noun damages means something different. This word refers to the money awarded by the court to compensate for the damage. For example, if a faulty microwave explodes and causes damage to your house, the manufacturer of the microwave might have to pay damages to you so that you can repair your house. Number eight, my apartment is 10 miles far from here. The correct sentence is, my apartment is 10 miles away from here. You can also say, my apartment is 10 miles from here without using away. It's confusing because the question asks how far, but we don't use far in the answer. For example, how far is the nearest gas station? It's about two blocks away. How far is the museum from here? At least five miles, you should probably take the bus. You can only use far in the answer when you are not giving a specific distance. You're just giving a general answer. For example, if someone says, how far is the nearest gas station? You could say, it's not far, meaning it's a short distance away. Or, it's pretty far, quite far, or very far, meaning it's a long distance away. Number nine, the boss requested me to send the information. The correct sentences are, the boss asked me to send the information. That's less formal. Or, the boss requested that I send the information. That's more formal. After the verb ask, we always use a person. For example, they're asking him for answers. She asked me for a drink. He asked us to take his picture. I'm asking them to stop. The word request is a more formal word for ask for. We do not use a person immediately after request. For example, they're requesting answers. She requested a drink. When someone requests an object, we use request plus the object. She requested a drink. And when you ask that somebody do something, then we use request that. For example, he requested that we take his picture. I'm requesting that they stop. Number ten, on next Friday, we're going to Paris. The correct sentences, next Friday, we're going to Paris. When using next, last, and this, you don't need to use a preposition, like on, in, or at. For example, let's get together this Saturday. I went to Russia last July. We're going hiking next weekend. You don't need to say, in last July, or on next weekend. Simply, last July and next weekend are fine. Would you like to get corrections on your written English? In the Advanced English Grammar course, each lesson includes a writing task where you can send me your text and I'll send you feedback. This course will help you master the details of English and take your English from good to great.


So I'm excited today because we're going to be reviewing this TrueNAS X10 box. Now I'm breaking the video up into two parts. This is going to be all about what TrueNAS is, how it differs from FreeNAS, the hardware that is the X10 system, and some of the unique features that it has and they go together hand in hand. So let's say you want to build a FreeNAS box, there's plenty of guides that I've talked about this before, and there's, you know, you can use it on consumer hardware, enterprise hardware, it's very diverse, it works on a lot of different platforms, but TrueNAS is, along with this box here, IX systems, got the shirt on today, they completely designed the hardware and the software together. So TrueNAS is a, not a fork of FreeNAS, it is a taking the best enterprise level features that are designed for the enterprise market, which this box is, and integrating them into this. So it gets developed alongside FreeNAS, they look at the highest availability parts, the most reliable parts of FreeNAS, such as a ZFS file system, and other features that are in it, and of course the interface a lot of us are familiar with the FreeNAS and integrate them in here. They don't integrate some of the things like, you know, the Plex plugin, because not as likely that you're going to be running Plex on this in the enterprise market, it's generally designed for high availability and redundant storage. But nonetheless, we're going to get into some of the details here, how the hardware works. Now this has dual motherboards and dual power supplies. And the motherboards are part of the genius of the way they did this. So they have two completely separate modules here, we're going to open them up and show you how this looks. And what it does is this is for failover. Now what's even more magical is how they've got both motherboards simultaneously talking to all the SATA drives, I'm sorry not SATA, SAS drives that are in here. So you have a row of SAS drives in here and both motherboards can see them at the same time and synchronize with each other. So this is a really neat feature of the way this is designed. So let's spin the box around and we'll start at the back and work our way to the front. The front's obviously pretty simple as where the drives go, but let's start at the back and show you what some of the magic is on this. All right so we got the box spun around and let's do a quick rundown of the ports. Now module A, module B, they're completely symmetrical. So we have two standard gigabit ports, two USBs, one installed with free NAS, I'm sorry true NAS, but this is the installer, not the one it runs off of. So you can run free NAS off of a USB and that's how a lot of people do it. Matter of fact it'll even support redundant USBs, but what they've done here is they have the installer and then inside here, when I show you inside they have it running on a M2 SATA. So we have the two USBs here, this is the out of band management port. So this for out of band management kind of looks like a headphone jack and so this connects to here and then here is the dedicated out of band port and once again it's symmetrical so you have this on both sides. Then we have your SASS externals, so if you wanted to use this as the head end and then plug in more drives and once again symmetrical over here, then you can connect to more drives. So this can be the head end, then you have several more boxes underneath of it with piles of hard drives inside of them and that's the configuration support about this dual expansion boxes are supported on this model. I believe some of the higher end models have even more expansion beyond that. So they shipped it to us with two RJ45 10 gigabit ports in here. This is your low profile card, it's essentially a PCIe, they have other configuration options you can get it with such as SFP plus. So once again contact your rep and they can get you the right ones. Now the hardware itself is really nicely put together and also if you don't want to use out of band over IP the IPMI they have a little spot right here where you can plug in a headphone jack and they give you a headphone jack with a USB on it. So this is so you can do your own console so you can plug into here and it's pretty long I think it's a four foot five foot cable here but if you didn't want to do IPMI for some reason this was in the box as well. Back to the hardware really easy to get to everything except one minor annoyance. If you're using cables that are like this with a little boot and a stopper right here so they don't eject easy I can get to the bottom of these fine but an IPMI I think it doesn't fit under here real well. I mean it's a pretty minor complaint you can wiggle it out but you know I guess I got to find something wrong because I'm so happy with it overall that's my one complaint I have is it's a little hard to get the network jack out of here but the reality is once you install these in your data center you're not likely to be pulling network cables out all day but just note you do that. Now it's because of the way this is recessed over and when you pull it out it's actually easy to get out too so generally once you plug these in like I said you're not unplugging and replugging. Now let's start with a power supply though about how it comes apart so you get this little orange lever here and we give it a push to release it and just as smooth as can be power supply will slide right out and they've got it well fitted so the power supply also contains the fans for airflow we have this here so we have air coming in through the front and then air coming in across the top here to create the airflow and that actually goes in to pull the airflow through the motherboard. The power supply's got nice guides on it really just it's heavy and efficient so these are well rated you know with modern equipment you really want efficiency because well electricity is you know not a cheap thing it's a big expense at the data center span with electricity so it slips in really nice so when you're pushing it in you can't just push the whole unit in there's a stopper hits right here and what that stopper does is keep you from just jamming it in wrong and then you slowly lever it up and fits in nice snug secure and clicks and locks so you can't accidentally release the power supply. Now on to the motherboard this is really cool too lift the lever I mean you could pull and you see it pushes on this lever a little bit but you lift this lever and pull these and it gently slides out the motherboard and the way it comes out now back to the venting you've seen on the power supply there's the venting here so the air comes through and pulls down and this right here prevents the air from getting pulled back in so it keeps nice directional airflow coming through the unit the hardware on this I mean this is well engineered it fits really well these little clips here these aren't plastic or chintzy at all this is really solid this is metal and so they have nice they have stops so they won't go too far so when you pull them out you don't have to try and find the sweet spot to slide this back in they come they hit they grab these little notches on each either side and it pulls it in the rest of the way and here's the connectors on the other side so once again metal guide here then all the connectors to connect all the buss and everything else also let's slide this out of the way the design itself is tool-less so to perform any upgrade functions press these two blue buttons like magic we're in inside the board itself let's turn inside we have your standard memory here we have our PCI card for the extra add-in for network so obviously it's you know a PCIe so it's easy enough to you know find other adapters for this I mean they're going to ship you with what you want but it's interchangeable so that if something goes wrong with this card they'll probably just send you a whole new module but it's modular itself we have the Intel processor under here this unit shipped with an Intel 1531 at 2.2 gigahertz so plenty of power if you're using this for encryption or anything else which I highly recommend using encrypted arrays that way when arrays go bad you don't have to worry about the date on them also if you can look down in here and I'm not going to remove anything I'm just demoing the hardware but right there we have an M2 SATA sand disk 128 that's actually what this boots off of is the sand disk and runs now they have the USB in here I believe just to reload it so that's probably got a copy of the operating system on there and then this is actually what it boots off of so you have a nice solid boot device inside of here that's pretty much the hardware inside here really nicely designed really clean and I like that it's just tool is just simple click and you're done when we slide back in it clicks and you're back in business it's really impressive to me how they've done the interconnects between these because both of them can see all the hard drives all the time for the high availability so you have this even if this fails and you have to get a replacement module there's not downtime to replace it it is made to be pulled out I was told you can pull them out live and it's not obviously recommended it's for emergency situations because of the amperage these use you could scar up the terminals if you did this frequently and hopefully with most time you know generally hardware doesn't fail that often these are all the just in case scenarios so let's spin it around and take a look at the hard drives so here's the drives in them and their standard nice trays slide out now the trays are not tool list there are screws holding the drives in but this is actually a preferred method because you want that precision and some of the tool is ones are cool but I've had to fiddle with them a little like you put them in you fiddle with the drive and then it goes in because they've got these on the side here the little tension clips so when these drives go in they're perfect there's no fiddling or moving them around now over here we've got SSDs in here so here's the tray for the SSDs and these are going to be for part of the testing where you will show you how you can set up a cash and a zill on these but this for the SSDs the trays slightly different to accommodate so the trays themselves are not universal and if you have blanks like you don't have a hard drive in here to keep the airflow universal you end up with a standard blank one which no holder for hard drive on it but that's so if you took one of these drives out or if you have a unit that you didn't order with all the drives filled they're going to come fill them with blanks that look just like the other ones and you have that on there so you also have a little writing tab right here so you can maybe put coordinates or information on there also right here these ones because they shipped them in separate boxes these ones also say HDD on them but then there's a spot here so we can see and put you know little stickers inside of here that's what these are is actually little sticker spots so pretty slick pretty clean looking interface on there plus they have the rows labeled zero three four seven eight eleven because the unit can tell you which drive it is and cross-reference that and then we have the lights over here on the side which it has a light to let you know if there's a problem and a green light to let you know that it's on now they also do ship these with rails and everything else so you can mount this and have it on a rail system that slides in and out that's also another option that comes with all right so let's get this thing powered on and I know what question people ask is how loud is it now ideally these are going to be in a data center probably not sitting next to your desk but on you know you may have concerns of just how loud and the really concerned is how many watts does it use so I have the trusty kilowatts now they rated their power supplies on the spec sheet they said they are 90 efficient I believe it because this thing is actually doesn't pull a ton of watts for how much how many hard drives and the build of the machine so let's get it plugged in I'm going to leave the microphone exactly how it is you can hear how loud it is and we'll talk about how many watts it's using so we started out 140 watts we just hit 300 watts for the spin up which you heard and now we're coming all the way down to 220 watts as is booting up so it's kind of settled on about 220 right now and we've let this plug in before when we were doing some set up testing with it and it seems to stay in the couple hundred watt range IBC a lot of the wattages pulled by the hard drives up here CPUs idle fairly efficiently and when they're not under high load high use but yeah it's not pulling a ton of watts right now so it's it's pretty reasonable on power maybe we'll do some testing when we put it under load to see how much that goes up when we're loading it up but I don't think you're going to see a dramatic change between them in the in the wattage for this other than when it's under full load with if these are not 15k drives but if you went all the way up to like 15k drives that you're really poor more wattage so you're going to see some of that actually it's now the should be checking the drives I can't see if they're starting to blink or not it just jumped up to like 260 watts enough about the power it's not the most fascinating thing about this but it's good to know that they've put some time into making very efficient power supplies on these uh another side note even with these drives running and all that not a lot of heat it does not uh it's not like sitting behind some of the other servers but we have an older server that we for one of our clients is like a blow dryer behind it all the time some of the older ones are very inefficient and uh they dissipate a lot of heat this is obviously really modern hardware so uh thermal concerns have been addressed in it okay so we talked about all the hardware and let's talk about what's different about the software now true nas versus free nas as I said this is a very optimized version of free nas specifically for the hardware so you have the people engineering the hardware working hand in hand with people designing this particular flavor of free nas now here's my free nas machine here's true nas free nas true nas logo is different a couple more options over here we're going to talk about that so it really has that familiar interface so we go to storage I have a storage pool said here we go to my storage I have a lot more storage pools but you get this idea they're very much the same as far as most of your functionality so if you are used to using free nas true nas is really not much of a learning curve but there's a few extra things in here so let's first talk about true nas being that it's enterprise designed with the enterprise if you work in that level you want really good support not just uptime uptime is a really big factor in deciding hardware but so is having support and this is something pretty cool that they've built in so before we get all the ha stuff we'll run across some of these tools here tunables they come pre-tuned this is something that you're going to get from the true nas people they enable the auto tune because they understand the hardware very very well and can optimize it specifically for the configurations that you're getting shipped so when you order it they build it they ship it it's all configured now a couple of notes here they do not ship it in ha mode I guess you could ask them to if you wanted to if you gave them the very specifics about your network but the way they shipped it to me was they shipped to me I got it on the network and then one of their technicians because you get a technician with this doesn't come in a box but it'll do remote support and help you you get one of their engineers to set this up so they were amazing I spent some time in a phone with them doing a lot of q and a and learning some of the details because I was you know want to dive in deep behind the scenes with this so I wanted to understand how it was working so I could share that with you so it shipped without ha and I got to watch the ha process now they like to help you with ha that's part of the package and please let them help you because you can make mistakes when you're doing this and put the machine in a non-bootable mode essentially the storage all that looks much the same but these have a couple different options so we have the two doubles and then we have over here the failover which is sync from pier sync to pier save set your timeout options these are to give some expanded options for your timeout between the two boards for failovers the defaults seem to work fine but they do have a couple clients with some really unique special use cases this is a really cool thing here and then enable automatic alert to ix system and it's just a checkbox based on the support level you have that's pretty cool and the reason this is nice is because yes you still get your notices here and you can still have an email you notices and all of the usual things that you have with free nas plus the proactive support and this they told me I said how does it work in production is always how I like to ask things and they said well we've actually called clients numerous times because you know as it people may have job hopped or changed the notice goes to an email address that someone didn't notice or bob is who got it before and now salie has the job and bob's email address is dead so then they don't get the notice when the problem occurs when you have this enabled they don't they get the notice and when they get the notice they're like hey drive xyz failed and we're ready to ship you out another one so that this proactive support if you don't have it people that are checking their emails and things like that they can get everything ready it automatically opens a ticket and they contact you and they're ready for the replacement so if you are on vacation as an it guy they're still working behind the scenes to help you and this is a really cool feature for these are proactive support and so their engineers have information on it as I said before it's this intel xeon cpud now here's a couple things about how ha works inside of here they're using the bsd carp system and by doing that I only ever have to change everything on this one virtual ip and I see virtual ip this is the ip that you want to attach all your shares to the ip essentially for the system but the way carp works there's more than one now you don't require any special networking hardware to have carp working so here's dot 245 here is 247 these are the individual nodes themselves and anything I change here or here because this is the active node which is why I can see it automatically syncs over to the inactive node because they use standby mode for ha so the two are powered up but it's only in so to speak a read only standby mode so it tells you the active ip tells you that it's on standby it tells you ha is enabled here so everything's ready this thing is ready to fly but it's not active and what happens is if this node goes down dot 245 it right now at about six second intervals it's checking so if this node's not up it immediately jumps over to the other node now side note if something goes really wrong in here they also will force a kernel panic to shut this one down and move to the other one used to remind me of the I think we used to pronounce it uh stoneth stoneth shoot the other node in the head which was from bail wolf clusters uh in earlier days of linux ha which was how you got rid of a rogue one you would just shoot it in the head as they used to say so I always thought that was kind of funny and that's with this uh with the networking and everything else it's watching for the network and the interfaces and determining whether or not this node needs to be up or if this node needs to be up so it's constantly checking but effectively you just do everything at one IP address and you don't have to know now you're going to get noticed if one of the nodes goes down you just aren't going to experience any downtime which of course is the ultimate goal so each one of these machines are sitting here now what about doing updates that's interesting I was asking about that and when you do the system updates first this the updates for this are not as frequent as they are for freelance they're very strongly tested they're very much more focused and only the enterprise level stuff so they're really highly focused on stability and a nice thing is when you're doing an update for this because it's their hardware they have you know each one of these engineers or have one of these in their lab so they're testing everything thoroughly before they send you the update so you don't have to worry about oh no will this update break anything I have because of some unique hardware configuration they do the testing internally for that but the updates work the same as they do but because you're running dual nodes when you run the update I'm actually updating the other node not this one and then vice versa it's going to switch back and forth between them and so you update each node it comes up and then you can do the switchovers so you can update with zero downtime and I think that's kind of neat if an update goes awry you'd only end up with one node down and so you could work on a solution to that versus you know taking the system down because of an update so I kind of like the way they did that the way it automatically does that so another question might came up might come up and this is something I found really clever as well so this h a journal file that's under the data folder is actually a journal of any changes you may make while the other node is rebooting so if I forced a node failure and then also while that node is in fail mode but rebooting it creates a journal of any changes to shares the storage controller anything you're changing inside of TrueNAS and what it's doing is getting ready to sync that so as soon as the other node comes up because here's all the changes and sync them that's what keeps the nodes in sync now that's also for some reason that doesn't work why they have this failover option where you can force the syncing going back the other way if you needed to I haven't done too much other than the general plugging unplugging stuff we're going to do a whole separate video showing the redundancy of this but I've never had to use the actual sync one and I have simulated some changes and like so we get into the failure mode reviews of this as a separate video I'll show you how that works but novel the way they did it now another thing you may notice here is I wonder how they talk to each other well I know it's a lot just dumped on the screen right here but I'll highlight the part that's interesting this is a network card the that mean you don't see so NTB so you have your IX and IGBs over here so we're going to go over to networking interfaces and there's those but what you don't have is the other one here that I'm showing because what these are and we did some speed test between here the NTB is a bus network for carp so it's actually not using to synchronize the two systems it's not using the interfaces that are on the back of it it has another internal interface for the two nodes to talk to each other this is rather clever and we did some speed testing and it's like a 40 gigabit link between there so it's really impressive just how much speed we got doing speed tests with IPERF between here and so that's how fast it can sync back and forth and this is also for handing off when a node fails it can hand off to the other node or especially when you're doing a control like an update you're handing off to the other node this is part of what makes that so fast and allows these both these controllers to stay in sync with all of the drives at once this is how the nodes talk to each other on the back end and I guess that's really important because you don't want the network interfaces in the back to be cluttered up with any of the management inner carp information it has to go back and forth between them so this is it's this comes preconfigured with the units this is how the units the sums talk to each other so let's get on some of the other differences now you probably notice let's go back over to my free NAS box so go here is there are jails I have in mind still from doing the upgrade there's a plugins option so we can plug in things and like I said you are missing some of that here you don't get all the plugins jails are not currently on the feature set that this has maybe it's something they'll add in the future but it's nothing to have right now generally in the enterprise market I mean this is a dedicated part of your storage sand and the back in your server office not something that you want to run plex on or a bunch of other plugins but when it comes to services for example most of those are the same dns domain controller iscazi ldap rsync still has s3 storage on here so you can have some of the amazon features smbs and pssh webdav and ups controls and the services and the sharing is iscazi windows webdav unix apple so you have the same feature sets there in terms of all the file functionality in true NAS just like you have in free NAS the active directory services and as you can see look the same between true NAS and free NAS so you still have the same functionality in there I also thought it was cool they left the wizard in both of them so you still have the setup wizard the setup wizard doesn't cover HA I was curious if it did it did not so that was the call to a tech to get that done now another thing they have is the vcenter plugin this is something rather new and it's not fully developed they've thrown it in here and seen how many of their clients really want to use it and they're going to do further development but what this actually will allow you to do is use vcenter to work directly with it so you can actually create the drives inside of vcenter instead of logging into the true NAS box and it will create the drives for you I believe it creates the iscazi luns for that not an expert is I don't run any of the ESX things so I'm not a vcenter expert but they said this is something they're working on developing they have it as a can create but cannot destroy drives which is probably good that way if anything goes wrong with the interface but this is an active plugin that they're working on that does come in here now side note about true NAS it has also been certified to work with both ESX Microsoft Hyper-V and Citrix and server so they have done testing they did say the majority of their clients are running ESXi with this in the back end but they've done testing with these so once again when they take out of the code from FreeNAS they focus on these enterprise features and I believe they got some certifications that they've went through with these companies to make sure that they also are really good at support because they're supporting so many other companies if you're using one of those configurations they're really helpful at getting at helping you get that set up and of course like I said ESX being king and dominant of the virtualization world they're really familiar with that particular system and these are a really popular solution they have clients with petabytes of storage with these and you know no problems they work really well and it's a popular piece of hardware so I hope you enjoyed this introduction to the true NAS and kind of show you the difference between the true NAS and the free NAS and review of this true NAS X10 hardware the separate video is going to be us actually showing this in action so I can tell you all these cool HA features but we'll do separate videos that are just on showing how resilient the system is and tolerant to fault such and removing power supplies or even a node coming out of it while it's on and you know making sure the failover works and having machines attached to it so we can actually see the entire mode so if you like to content here like subscribe if you have certain questions post them in the comments below and also if you have some specific things you want me to test on this I'm more than happy you guys help inspire me to do some of these videos and give me suggestions for things you want to see your questions and concerns and we've got this thing for a little bit longer and we're going to be doing some of those tests all right thanks like the content here like and subscribe and appreciate it


Once again, Marcus Rashford, England's striker and Britain's most successful campaigner, is attacking the government about their abandonment of poor families. This time he has his sights set on a £20 cut in universal credit due to come into force in October. Rashford tweeted, instead of removing support through Social Security, we should be refocusing efforts on developing a sustainable long-term roadmap out of this child hunger pandemic. Rashford also tweeted the following. 4.3 million people, including 2.5 million children, the reality of food insecurity in the UK over the last six months, because higher than those recorded in the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic and a massive 27% higher than pre-COVID-19. The intervention from Marcus Rashford is likely time to coincide with an opposition day debate, which Labour will be putting forward this Wednesday. This has happened before Marcus Rashford makes an issue popular. Labour put it forward in an opposition debate, and they try and peel off Tory MPs to threaten the government with a loss in the Commons. Labour are speaking out against this cut. Labour Shadow Work and Pension Secretary Jonathan Reynolds. Labour is giving Conservative MPs the chance to do the right thing, stand up to the Prime Minister and defend their constituents from this devastating cut. Once again, this government's record doesn't stand up to reality. They promised investment in the North and Midlands, but are instead pulling billions out of local economies. A letter to the government last week signed by groups, including the Royal College of Pediatricians and Child Health, similarly, called on the government to scrap the planned cut. They said it would amount to the biggest overnight cut in social security since World War II, and that it would push 500,000 people into poverty. Ash, Marcus Rashford has forced U-turns on this government before. Do you think he's going to manage it again? I mean, look, he may well do. And I think we've danced this dance before, which is Marcus Rashford essentially operates as an outrider for the social safety net. Labour follow, the government is forced into doing something embarrassing, sending out people to defend the indefensible in the morning TV round, and then there's a U-turn. I think one of the things that is going to be interesting with this one is that it's not necessarily something as immediately emotive as free school meals provision during half-term and summer holidays. It's something very, very tangible and immediate about that. It's food out of the mouths of poor children. With this, then you kind of have wrapped up in it how people feel about benefits claimants, who we know have been stigmatized because of a, well, more than two decades now, but a really concerted drive towards seeing benefits claimants as lazy scroungers, feckless, and all the rest of it. So it will be interesting to see whether that moral clarity that Marcus Rashford possesses, and I think quite a unique place within popular culture, if that's going to be the beginning of something of a fightback and a pushback against those years of negative stereotyping.  It's just, it's just complete trash. I'll never forget when this proposed cuts to the £20 uplift was first proposed, you had Laura Coonsburg going on TV saying, well, it's not really a cut, but you know, it does kind of feel like one, as if taking £20 out of the pockets of some of the most deprived families in this country is simply a matter of perception, as though it's merely subjective. And the way in which I think, you know, the establishment media in this country talks about the social safety net simply as kind of another chess piece in a grand political game, I think is one of the reasons why politicians have been able to get away with such brutal and draconian policies for so long. And the positioning of Marcus Rashford, because of how strong his independent social media following is, because of the fact that he is unconnected to the kind of horse trading and, you know, dirty business of self-serving and venal Westminster politics, he can often cut through that kind of noise and obfuscation. So I really hope that he's able to inflict another U-turn on the government.  You talked about the dishonest media there. This is also a topic on which Tory politicians are consistently dishonest and the main driver of this cut is understood to be Rishi Sunak who wants to find ways to lower government spending as the pandemic nears its close or at least moves on from its emergency phase. This is how Sunak defended the cut to universal credit back in August. One of the things I'm proudest of over the past 12 to 18 months is that we have looked after the most vulnerable in our society and all the figures show that, that those on the lowest incomes have seen the most support from this government at what has been a very difficult time and we're not done supporting people. My firm belief is the best way to help those families is to make sure that they can have well paid work and we've got a suite of things that we're doing, the national living wage is going up. We're also helping them with new skills training to find better jobs, the kickstart scheme where the government is fully funding high quality jobs for young people at risk of unemployment. Those are the types of things we're doing and they will all make a major difference. Extending that temporary uplift in universal credit though is clearly going to help the most. Why won't you do that? No, I don't think that will help the most. That temporary uplift was indeed temporary. It was the right intervention for the particular part of the crisis that we've experienced but now as the economy is reopening and businesses are hiring again, the right thing to do is to help people find really well paid jobs which is why the kickstart scheme is important. It's why we're giving companies huge cash incentives to create new apprenticeships for people and it's why the Prime Minister's lifetime skills guarantee is crucial. Ten million adults who don't have a level three qualification will for the first time be able to get one from the government. We know that that can have a transformative impact on people's ability to get a new job or get a better paid job. Those are the right ways to help people. There's a really disgusting argument there by Rishi Sunak because again he's sort of making it this zero sum game between having a decent social security system whereby families don't have to live in poverty and struggle to feed their kids or good well paid jobs and there is no association between the two of those. It's not the case that bosses think, oh I won't bother to pay people more because they're getting money through universal credit anyway. That's not how it works. That's not how bosses decide on wages. Bosses decide on wages based on who is willing to work for them at what wage and things like the power of trade unions. So Rishi Sunak really cared about increasing the wages of Britain's workforce. He wouldn't be cutting social security benefits. He would be empowering trade unions. He would be raising the minimum wage to something which is genuinely enough to live on. Not just something he's called the living wage even though he's plucked it out of a scenario and it has nothing to do with what the living wage foundation say is actually a wage that people can live on. It is potentially a smart argument though. It's Rishi Sunak trying to sound progressive, trying to sound left-wing. I care about high wages and that's why I'm cutting benefits. Ash, do you think the public will buy it?  So what the public will believe is often a reflection of how hard politicians are being pushed on the hypocrisies and outright lies within the arguments they're making. So maybe, maybe not. One of the things which I think is really important to point out is that over a fifth of universal credit claimants are in work and are judged to be earning so little from the work that they're doing that it's not come subject to work conditions like you have to prove that you're searching for work X many hours a week. So that means that somebody is essentially in a full-time form of work and not earning enough to survive, to feed themselves, to clothe themselves, to keep a roof over their heads, to look after their kids and their loved ones. And what Rishi Sunak is saying is well what we need to do in order to encourage people into full-time work, which as we've seen a fifth of universal credit claimants are already in, is hurt their income even more by taking away this 20 pound uplift. It doesn't make sense. It's a completely dishonest argument which I don't see either Rishi Sunak or anyone in the government being pushed on hard enough. And I also don't see Labour I think doing nearly enough to get these kinds of arguments out there because what it would require is taking a step back and saying actually it's not just the welfare system that's broken, it's employment. It's the way job creation is working. It's what kind of jobs are available for people. You don't see that kind of political sense making and that kind of narrativising which links together these seemingly disparate bits of people's economic and social existence into a unified explanation of what's going on. And I think that that is the single biggest weakness in Labour at the moment. And that's also conversely one of the biggest gifts given to the Tories because it creates all of this room politically for Rishi Sunak to come out and spend some absolute fraff about how he cares about high wages and how he cares about quality employment. And that's why he's getting rid of the 20 pound uplift which is actually helping support people who are already in work and are on poverty wages. Sorry, I'm angry about this. The level of deception and dishonesty and the room which is given by some of the best paid and most well regarded journalists in the country for that deception and dishonesty really winds me up.
