Hey guys So it is December 15th, and I am done with the collage journal I really had my doubts in the last week if I was gonna get it done or not to be honest Yeah, and it's been a tough week squeezing in a minimum of six pages a day For the last more than a week, I think to try to get this done. Yes at the time of filming this Flip I'm gonna do a flip for you. I have all of that video footage or at least most of it in the camera or downloaded to the computer Whether or not I Bundle it all up and put it as a fast forward on YouTube at the time of filming this flip I'm not sure if I'm gonna do that or not if I'm gonna just maybe pull clips of it out I don't know you guys let me know what you want to see In any case, I would fast forward most of it and put music to it But you know you see me do one page. You see me do them all haven't you? I mean, I don't know if you guys want to see it or not. I don't know and I did learn a lot of things by doing this collage journal about Myself and my process some surprising things actually so let's start the flip and we'll talk about it while we're doing that Now this journal as I've said many times and is in the description below was made for me by my friend Sarah Whitney who is also a Subscriber here of mine here on YouTube. It is a Coptic stitch Journal and she used a tutorial by C lemon the link should be in the description below and I decided when she gave it to me to use this as my collage journal. I was going to use My water what is now my watercolor journal? This one as my collage journal And when I made this initially even though I made it with watercolor paper I intended to use this for collage and when Sarah gave me this one I decided this one was going to be collage and this one was going to be watercolor so Anyway, all right She did cover that cover back in front with pattern duct tape, which is really pretty But some of the edges kind of stick to the page So I have a piece of deli paper here and actually now that I'm thinking about it I'm going to put a piece of deli paper in the back to So that it doesn't stick to the back image and those pieces of deli paper are just going to live there So I started off the year with this journal Doing some fairly intricate collage Putting quotes on there Sometimes from things that just came to me while I was working on the page and then it occurred to me that I had lots of words in my word box and I could maybe use them and I love these first pages. They definitely took a lot more thought and time To put together and I still love this way of doing collage and I still will be doing it But as I went through the year I did definitely change the style of what I was doing Not only because I was trying to finish the journal Because that's just what I was feeling like I should be doing But I do love some of these pages and I will still be doing collage this way. I Will be I will see here is where I started putting in words for my word box still really finding random pieces from bunches of different images and composing them together to create a whole and I love the way They came out Most of them are very surprising Like this one here. I love the way this one came out first of all I love the image of the three ladies and the phrase turn some heads life is trying a recipe that's adventurous I mean, I love that but some of the background images that compose this fabulous piece These here are from a science magazine and these are actually close-ups of blood cells So You can find the images anywhere these are Eyeballs From a pamphlet I picked up at my eye doctor when I was getting an eye exam and then you know I would switch back occasionally and do a written quote. I didn't always use people sometimes They used artwork from other artists out of other magazines But I do have a preference for using people I have to say These were from a lighting magazine Then I really started just using quotes. I don't think I don't think that passed this point that I did any written Well, see I did this one written words. I was gonna lie to you. I Love this page That might be the last time I wrote any words in here what I found though as I Was creating these pages Was that it was more about matching the words or quote with the image I was working with and Just not thinking about it so much Especially with this page. I didn't really think about it. It just felt right and going with What felt right and following my instincts and what's turned out is some of these collage pages Although the composition is very simple though pictures in combination with the word Some of these are really powerful Like this one. I am pure. I am nurtured. I am nourished. I am perfect Combined with that image. It's just some of them are really powerful. This one. Can you hear me now? What I found when I was trying to finish this was I was just following my instincts and Pulling quotes that felt right with that picture and if necessary adding a background, but not really necessarily doing a lot more than the result made a Of course quick composition But one that when you look at it and you read the words and you look at the picture associated with those words that got put together They're very very powerful. I love this one discover a fresh perspective. I love that one. I Have to wax these can you hear that sticking a bit? sometimes the acrylic paint pens or some of the Gel sticks you saw me use some of them are actually tempera paint sticks I Know somebody's gonna ask me about this so we'll go over that too. I Have a bunch of these these are by play color and They're tempera paint sticks and there's a couple of different versions. They have this one Which is called play color. This one's called fluo Play color fluo These are fluorescent and then they have Play color metallic These are all tempera paint sticks Then I have lots of gel crayons including Crayola and of course gelato's and sparkle gel crayons and You know Alex I have a thing for gel crayons These are water cut watercolor Crayons, these are by Target up and up and I think they're like five dollars for eight. I don't remember and I found early on I tried to not do edging on my pages and I just found that that wasn't working for me And I think I did some kind of border with the gel crayons around every single page. I think for me This is one of the most powerful pages in here And this is a really simple page with an image that I had in my pile of stuff that I'd pulled out a quite a while ago And I knew I was going to do something with it at some point and then this little phrase popped out at me out of my stash of words and This is really powerful. I just love this picture. It does not just make you laugh He's covered in sunflowers dressed in a yellow suit. I Love that.  Don't ask just don't Ask I love that But you know, I was just I was doing more playing and having fun and following my instincts and not trying so hard and We have sort of what I was calling to my daughter when she and I were discussing this accidental art so accidentally I've created some really powerful pages without trying or thinking too hard and I think for me, that's what this collage book is all about. I love this one, too And then finally at the end Another world is not only possible. She's on her way on a quiet day. I can hear her breathing. I love that So there is my 2015 collage journal. Will I be doing one for 2016? I'm not sure yet I'm sure I'll do some collage at some point. I'm not sure I'll do a whole separate journal just for collage But you know, one can never tell I have other things I need to finish up and or get started for 2016 before I can even think about it to be honest But this was a lot of fun and just so you know, okay, she's not seen it before Yeah, this is my container of There we go gel crayon type tools It was sort of organized, but then I started doing all these pages and it got really messy I have gel highlighter pens. This is Acute gel highlighter the play color Tempera crayons, they you know, they're like a crayon They're tempera paint so they don't blend necessarily the same way as the gel crayons do Sharpie gel highlighters, which I love Alex gel crayons a lot of these are from Either Target or Amazon These in the middle are all gelatoes and to be perfectly honest with you I use all of these other things a lot more than I use the gelatoes Nothing wrong with them. They come in some great colors. They're fabulous in their own, right? I Don't know. I just use these other things but anyway So I guess maybe start collecting some gel crayons because I think you guys will like them All right, that's it for right now go out and Do some collage don't think about it too much grab a compelling image If it needs a background because it's too small for the page to grab a background Do you think is going to really enhance your image and then go for a quote that? Just speaks to you at that moment Don't think about it too much and put them together and then do some decorating to tie all the images together and See what the result is just remember to play I think that's the key for me just play and have fun and don't overanalyze it All right, that's it for right now go out and have a great day and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it I'll see you later. Bye


Good afternoon. It's a very exciting session. For me, I consider myself as an entrepreneur, even if I'm a social entrepreneur working for the public good. But to have on my side someone who is considered as one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our times, Sergei Brin, who is, as you know, the co-founder and president of Alphabet. I think it's a unique opportunity to exchange some views with you. And I wonder whether I should take my tie off or not. But let me go immediately into the subject. We talk a lot about the Fawcitas Revolution. And I have written a book one year ago. When I look at the contents, I have the feeling such a lot is already outdated. Was considered a year ago science fiction is already reality. So maybe my first question to you is, where do you see the edges and the next frontiers of the Fawcitas Revolution? That's a fantastic question. First of all, let me just tell all of you that you maybe should doubt my answers a little bit. So when I was heading up Google X a few years back, and one little project we had in there, which is now called Google Brain, which was this AI effort. But I didn't pay attention to it at all, to be perfectly honest. And myself having been trained as a computer scientist in the 90s, everybody knew AI didn't work. It's not like people tried it. They tried neural nets. None of them worked out. And this fellow, who was one of our top computer scientists, Jeff Dean, would periodically come up with me and look. The computer made a picture of a cat. And I'd say, OK, that's very nice, Jeff.  And fast forward a few years. And now, Brain probably touches every single one of our main projects, ranging from search, to photos, to ads, to everything we do. And this kind of revolution in deep nets has been very profound and definitely surprised me, even though I was right in there sitting, like I could throw paper clips at him. It's an incredible time. And it's very hard to forecast what can these things do. We don't really know the limits. And in 100 years, if we imagine ourselves that these can do kind of everything we can imagine and more, it's a hard thing to think through and has really incredible possibilities. But I think it's impossible to forecast accurately. But Sergei, would you see more the positive side? Of course, as an entrepreneur, you have to see the positive side. But do you see also possible risks in all those fancy, if I may use this word, a new means, which we will have at our disposal? I think it definitely requires some thought. And incredibly, and I'm here at Davos, and I'm just shocked at how I feel like the Luddite in the room, everybody's talking about, well, how do we cope with this increased automation here and the jobs displaced and so forth? And I feel like the one like, oh, actually, that's pretty hard to do with a computer. And I kind of know what we're trying to accomplish to make that technology work. And I think a lot of folks here are, I think, correctly forward thinking, taking some of those innovations for granted and then saying, well, what does that mean for society and so forth? I think that's the right thing to do. I think thinking through sort of AIs, the continuing of the automation that we've seen in the past 200 years and how that evolves society and economy and social order, that's the smart thing to do. I don't think it's sort of impossible somehow, but it deserves a lot of thought. You cannot, let me say, stop it. You can channel it. But I want to follow up a little bit about the horizons. We speak about our times now being, let's say, shaped by the digital revolution. Some people would say, when we sit here again, you came over 10 years ago as one of our young global leaders for the first time here. When we sit again together in 10 years, we may much more talk about the biological revolution. And of course, there's a combination of the biological and the digital revolution. Can you explain your thinking in this respect, particularly because I know you are very interested in the medical issues also? Yeah. Well, I think you can approach health from several levels and say, well, the specific things that we are afflicted with, whether it's heart health or cancer or Parkinson's, I'm personally passionate about. And look at the specifics of treatments and understanding of those diseases. You can look at the more, this is a dilemma I have, is I kind of invest in Parkinson's research. Should I be doing that? Or should I be investing in more fundamental research? You've seen what CRISPR, for example, has allowed biologists across all disease categories to use that kind of a tool. And it's just a more general kind of biochemistry innovation. And genomics has obviously brought us a lot of innovation there broadly. But then you could also ask the next question now, leading to what you said about the digital revolution. Well, if we had smarter processing, smarter software, could it unveil patterns and understanding, should we just be working on the machine learning solutions that are broadly going to allow us to do more in biology, but also in other fields in the economy and electronics and astronomy? So it's a whole set of layers. And these lower-level layers, the increased machine learning and so forth, kind of spans the gamut of human endeavors. And therefore, when you invest in those things, you get this multiplied effect. But of course, you still need to do the biology. And then you need to understand the individual diseases. And ultimately, you need to treat individual people. So big data, digital tools, that's a service of medical and biological progress and advancing very fast. But can you imagine that in 10 years when we are sitting here, we have an implant in our brains. And I can immediately feel, because you all will have implants, I can and we measure your brainwaves. And I can immediately tell you how the people react or I can feel how the people react to your answers. Is it imaginable? I think that is imaginable. I think you can imagine that. You can imagine, well, you're going to be sort of transplanted into the internet. So to speak to live forever in a digital realm. You can imagine that you just in your biological incarnation are going to live to be some very long age. I think it is almost impossible to predict. And in fact, the evolution of technology might be inherently chaotic. I mean, it could have been the case a couple of hundred years back if it so happened that electricity evolved a little bit faster compared to internal combustion, that we all would have been driving electric cars today and then somebody would have a new fangled internal combustion thing that would be like, well, that's kind of weird. But history happened to go one way. Maybe there are fundamental inherent reasons for that. But I think when you ask these kinds of questions about the future, what does it mean to be human in the future? What does it mean to be an individual versus society? Kind of where are we going in the long term? I mean, these are deep and powerful and fundamental philosophical questions. But I don't know that we are equipped to answer them. I think it's premature because we don't know yet how technology will look like. But one fear which I have heard is that technology now is and digital technologies mainly have an analytical power. Now we go into a predictive power. And we have seen the first examples. And your company very much involved into it. But since the next step could be to go into a prescriptive mode, which means you do not even have to have elections anymore because you can already predict what predict. And afterwards you can say, why do we need elections? Because we know what the result will be. Can you imagine such a world? Well, you might then further ask, well, why do we need to have elected leaders at all? Because you might as well have all the decisions made. I think that's once again, I mean, you're venturing into, I think, profound questions. We can ask also, what will we actually want? I mean, we have a set of values and desires today that are probably pretty different than before the Industrial Revolution and different still than before the Agrarian Revolution. And we might continue to evolve. And many of us today participate, obviously, all of us probably, in the global economy developing and so forth. Some of us choose to be Buddhist monks and we just seek enlightenment through our spirituality. So I mean, I think people have different ways of evolving and finding meaning in different situations. And it could be that the way we look at it 100 years from now is so different than we look at it today that it's almost unrecognizable for us the thinking, the rationale, and the desires. We wouldn't even be able to translate. I think this is a very, not only interesting, it's a crucial issue. We are looking at technology very often threatening our present thinking, interpretation of how the world evolves. And actually, we probably need new, you use the word meaning, we need new concepts to define what humanity is and what's the purpose of our lives is. And we may go much more again into the direction of, people are afraid of robotization, but it may be humanization which robotization will allow. Would you, this is a very optimistic, let's say, perception which personally I share, but would you agree? Oh, 100%.  That wouldn't be a meaningful question. But if you would say, well, I'm an economist, it'll be like I plow my field and then we could talk more about whatever it is that you mean you do. I think it is exactly true. I think that if some of the burdens of day to day life that have been increasingly alleviated through technology, through agriculture and so forth, maybe that leaves us free to really think a little bit more deeply about who it is we are and what it is we see. But so it's new technology paradigms need also, I would say a new government, governance paradigm. If I think of the old fashioned, let's say governments see a technological development or regulatory agencies. So it's a parliamentary commission. Finally, regulations come out after five years. This is absolutely not suited anymore to our new technologies. So we need much more agile interaction between business, regulators, civil society and so on. Yeah, I mean, and once again, I've been really blown away this year. As you know, I haven't been to the forum for about eight years. And I think of the level of enlightenment and conversation between politicians and business leaders and social entrepreneurs is incredible to me. And that's the kind of interaction I think that'll breed success. And I think also, I don't forget, in, you know, outside of here, you know, oftentimes it's a very antagonistic relationship between government and business and so forth. And I think that also is very unhealthy. So I think not only, you know, should we try to tackle things more quickly but also in a real collaborative way. I think some of this, let's say, antagonistic view comes because people see particularly the effect on job elimination. And of course, you know, Schumpeter's rule of creative destruction or destructive creation. And people have difficulties to see the jobs of the future. I explain, you will have maybe we are in need of, I don't know, robot polishes or drone dispatchers. But I think there are limited possibilities for such skills. Where do you see skills with you?  I mean, you are permanently looking for people. But where are those jobs coming from and what skills do you particularly emphasize? I think, look, that is a fantastic question. And I think, you know, in the sessions I've attended, you know, everybody's asking that question. I guess I would hope that as some of them, you know, maybe more mundane tasks are alleviated through technology that people find more and more creative and meaningful ways to spend their time. I think, you know, the way you're sort of, the word job specifically, you know, has a lot of implication and a lot of, you know, the way that we might have spent the past couple of generations, like the job means you go to the office like here and you do some things, you have papers, you have an inbox, you have an outbox. And I think so, our mindset is somewhat narrow in that way.  Fortunately, I'm an engineer. Yeah, oh, you're an engineer, sorry. Okay, we have some economists here. It is the world economic forum. I think. Not engineering for real. Sorry. Sorry. Engineering is pretty easy to describe, I think, to folks. But being an economist is not like that easy to describe. And it's not that we need five billion economists. But the point is that I think if you sort of continue that trajectory, you do see more and more people that have been freed up over the past couple of hundred years to do work that is, you know, more kind of thinking about things or creating things, you know, seeking aesthetics, whether it is in an intellectual domain or a purely artistic domain. And I would hope to see that trend continue. And I would hope that the world would find, you know, an opportunity. This is where I think education becomes very important. And I think broad education. But as, you know, some of these jobs are displaced, giving people the opportunity to get educated from the point of view of having actually the education resources, the financial wherewithal to be able to pursue that. Like, you know, you don't wanna be studying Shakespeare and going hungry or something like that. And being somewhat open-minded, giving people a chance to develop different skills that aren't necessarily, you know, okay, we have 5,000 needs for this exact kind of thing today. Because probably the thing that you want exactly 5,000 of today is a thing that also is more realistically automatable. So I think it's important for people to be able to have freedom to study, financial opportunity to study. And to get meaning. I think in addition to, you know, work being an important way that, you know, we exchange money and whatnot, people find profound meaning in their day-to-day jobs. And I think that's another important thing for us to preserve. Okay, I would say this is the key, let's say, message for me, or hope that we can move from jobs which are meaningless much more to meaningful tasks. And so maybe in the social area, in the cultural area. And that will be the underlying concept for a more humanized society. But I also agree with you, we need, we shouldn't look at individual jobs now, where do we need 5,000 jobs more and so on. So key is the reformation of the whole educational system, which is completely outdated. Would you agree? I think there are several systems that we have in place that I think for a lot of understandable reasons, you know, they just have so much inertia they lag behind, education is one. And healthcare honestly is another, and I don't mean healthcare in the sense of finding the biological roots of disease.  And, you know, these systems are just so deeply embedded from an infrastructure point of view, from a sort of governance point of view and so forth. They're very hard to transform and to update to today's needs. But I think that is a challenge that we should seek to overcome. And within education, I mean, I just think everyone should have access to education. And I'm talking about obviously sort of primary education and secondary and university. And, you know, for that matter, postgraduate work. I mean, those things don't really, those things are extraordinarily expensive today for kind of artifacts of the infrastructure we assume we need like big buildings and, you know, fancy classrooms and things like that. I don't think those things are necessary. I mean, it's fine to have those for some folks, but education should be universally accessible. Yeah. When I look at, I mean, it's incredible the success of your company. And when I look at Silicon Valley in general, the success is mainly related also to a platform approach. And it's a new management concept. And of course, many people envy you because you are in this area where you have this exponential growth potential. And this creates also some, not only envies, also some, how shall I say, it's more than envy. It's aversion against the Silicon Valley model because you can grow so fast. What would be your response? I think, look, I think, first of all, I'm very lucky to have been in Silicon Valley and Silicon Valley is very lucky to have been able to benefit from, you know, the semiconductor boom and then software and now internet and mobile. I mean, I think it's, there's a huge amount of luck there, but the luck also comes from taking many shots. You know, so many failures.  And the successes, you know, they often are chance. I mean, I mentioned the Google Brain work that they were just off in the corner. It's like, okay, fine, just do your thing. Our, you know, Verily, which is our subsidiary that does a wide range of healthcare innovation now, really started with this glucose sensing contact lens project. And that was another one where I said, this fellow Babak and Brian Otis who were working on it, you know, and they wanted to put a computer in a contact lens.  You know, you can only have a couple of people work on it. I'm not going to give you a lot of resources. But you know, sure, if you put a computer in contact lens, good for you.  They have a big partnership with Novartis and Alcon. And they are hopefully going to bring those to market alongside with a bunch of other projects that that has spawned. And I didn't know anything about that. And I never would have predicted or guessed that. I think we're just lucky to have the environment that tolerates, you know, making lots of risky bets and tolerating the failures that inevitably result. And it needs courage. I mean, I could ask you as a question. I'm very often asked, starting the phone with two people. Some journalists ask me, media people ask me, did you ever imagine what is coming out? Could you ever imagine what came out of your original entrepreneurial first steps? No, I could not possibly have imagined. But, you know, and I don't know what you're thinking was behind the form. But I remember when I was really thinking deeply about this, and this was sort of a graduate student project at Stanford. And I talked to my advisors, like, you know, should I really do this entrepreneurial thing? And, you know, it might not work out. And I can just finish my PhD. And he said, you know, why not? Go for it. And then if it doesn't work out, you come back, you finish your PhD, which I'm still planning on doing.  Just give it a shot. And I think that that mentality permeates Silicon Valley. And I think that's one of the strengths that, you know, there's really not much that's not viewed so negatively to try something, even if it doesn't work out. No. When you look back now to this history, and you have a, I would say, many young people listening to you here or via digital transmission, what would you out of your own experience give us an advice to those young people who everybody sees you as a role model and wants to imitate you? What would you tell them as a key learning of your own?   You know, there are many things, you know, we can whip our phones out and look up anything and figure out how to get somewhere. There are a lot of affordances that are such conveniences today that make it easy. But there is also a global stage that makes it hard, actually, you know, because if when I was in school and I was on the math team or whatever, I was just compared to other kids in the school. And I did quite well against them, you know, and I found myself, yeah, I'm good at that, I'm good at that. I think I find younger folks today are their measures of themselves are always, especially, you know, the ambitious ones are on this global stage. So I'd say, well, you know, I have to be number one in the world at this or that. And I'm like, you know, that's a really tall order. And I think it can be discouraging in a way, because if, you know, the folks say, well, you know, I'm number 1,000 in the world at this game, which in my world would have been an enormous achievement, because that means like you were definitely the best in your city and your state and whatnot.  So, you know, I would encourage young folks to, you know, take chances and pursue their dreams and, you know, try to silence out kind of the voices that say, well, actually there are like a thousand startups trying to do whatever, self-riding bicycles or whatever it is they happen to be doing. And I think the key is to have fun in your startup and not from the beginning on to think of the IPO, which may bring you a billion sets to keep. And that was certainly your motivation to make it a success. Yeah, I mean, I certainly had no dreams of such economic success. And I think you're exactly right. I think you should have fun and not be so weighed down by the weight of expectations that I think sort of this global network, unfortunately, one of the downsides, I think it creates that weight. We are coming to an end of this fascinating discussion, but my last question would be, I came from a luncheon and we had a discussion. We said, or the conclusion was, we can address the issues which we have to confront in the world, not just in the rational ways. The world in some way has to digest this tremendous speed of change, complexity of change, which creates an emotional turmoil. So we have to respond much more also with values and not just with rational answers. And what would be your values? What are your driving values, Sergi? Well, first of all, I think that's a very good question and an amazing question. And not having been in Davos in eight years or so, I'm kind of even confused in a good way because all these business executives and CEOs and everybody, everybody's wondering, well, how are people gonna find purpose? And what about all these refugees? What about income inequality? I kind of feel like I'm a burning man, but almost except we're all wearing clothes. But I think it's a wonderful thing. So I think for whatever weird reason, maybe it's because we're kind of San Francisco hippies, but Google has always had this a little bit of that kind of social responsibility view. Also inspired by the way by Salesforce, Mark Benioff and his philanthropic work as part of the company. I think you're phrasing it exactly correctly. I think it can't be the case that companies such as ours are just purely profit motivated. Sort of you can't just take Adam Smith. Well, apparently I've learned here that Adam Smith's earlier work was actually much more touchy-feely than the Waltham nations, but you can't just think about narrowly, oh, this is your business. You're just going to maximize earnings. It doesn't matter what else is going on around you. And I think the leaders here, from what I can tell, are broadly, broadly concerned about the climate change or wealth inequality or this issue of job creation, all of those things. And so it seems to me that companies are taking those things seriously and we ought to be and maybe there's some greater way to write about that and vibe that and kind of the principles of company formation. Because I don't think sort of, if you look at the laws and the regulations and SEC kind of rules, technically, you're meant to be purely profit seeking and that's not really a reasonable position to take. So yeah, it's a great opportunity to, to unfortunate opportunity because I would like to have much more time to conclude this session. And what you just said is particularly with, let's say some Silicon Valley companies like yours, people see those companies having tremendous power and I was recently together with a prime minister of quite a important country who told me there are three or four powers left in the world. One is US, one is China and one is alphabet. So you have, you have this, let's say image of a very powerful organization. And I think this session was very important because it showed us that behind those organizations are people who are not detached from the world. People who ask themselves still questions. They do not now necessarily make everything possible to reign over the world, no. So some people who have questions, who have doubts, who, in your case I may say so, who are modest. So I think this session was very important and I thank you for sharing and sharing with us not only your ideas but your personality. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Good session.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. There are some new cards coming to FIFA 22 Ultimate Team very soon, we've been expecting this and we actually already have them shown inside of the search filters as a card type and card design inside of this game. I wanna talk about UCL cards, the rare and non-rare UCL cards that should be coming soon, potentially tomorrow. I wanna talk about today in this video how that could impact the market and as well just a kind of wrap up and what is going on, a market watch video at the same time talking about all of what is happening on this game right now. We have a team of the week four that is getting absolutely destroyed in price. We had four new items in packs yesterday as a part of the Road to the Knockouts team with Andy Robertson being the leader of that set of four. So I wanna talk about those cards as well as maybe today's content on Monday with upgrade packs, right? Monday's the past two weeks during the ones to watch. We had upgrade packs come out. I would expect the same today on Monday as well. And also with the last week and the rewards tonight just kind of maybe speak on a little bit how that could impact the market. But first thing is first, I wanna talk about these blue cards, right? Because I think this is gonna have some big time market impact on Tuesday because basically what it's gonna bring is even more supply and more cards on this market that are just like the golds, right? And these are the cards that I'm talking about. The UEFA Champions League rare card design and the UEFA Champions League common. These are not new, we know about these. We've had these since FIFA 19. But of course, with the way the market is this year I really think that these cards are gonna drop gold card prices even a little bit more, especially on the top tier as some people will probably sell their gold versions to go buy these versions right away just because they look a little bit cooler. And it basically means double supply on the market all year long for these gold cards throughout the rest of the year. If EA does this the same way. So just in case you were not aware or you do not remember or did not remember, these are the cards that we're talking about, right? These regular, it's basically the exact same stats as the golds. And the reason why I think these are coming out on Tuesday is the past three years that these have been released. They've been released on a Champions League Tuesday in October. Now the last two years, FIFA 21 and FIFA 20, they released like in the middle of the month, October 22nd on Tuesday in FIFA 20 and October 20th on a Tuesday in FIFA 21. And they impacted the market some, right? A little bit. I think this year though, again, with the way the market is structured and with that supply, these UCL Rare non-recards are gonna have, in my opinion, just about the exact same pack weight as the golds. And that is gonna just drive the golds down further because people are gonna sell a gold card that they have to play with a cooler looking item that has a different color that is blue. It's all about the cosmetics. I know some of you guys are gonna disagree with this because you think that these cards, how, if they have the same stats as the gold item, how are people actually wanna go out and use these, especially right away in the first day or two? I remember specifically last year on this game and I actually have, I talked about it in my video a year ago, a year ago when we looked at these cards coming onto the market. This blue Neymar, exact same stats as his gold card was selling for 100 to 150,000 coins more than his gold card for the first couple hours and I think even the first day, he was at least 50 to 100K over his gold card price because this was a very popular card in the game and it was basically like a quote unquote promo card and some people said that it even played better than his gold card, right? Even with the same stats. So again, it's only a cosmetic thing with these cards as far as we know it, but people just love new. Even if it's the same stats on a card and it's just a new color on the item, people will love this stuff and they will go for it tomorrow on Tuesday if that is when they are released. So I think that some of your gold cards on the market, maybe a Bruno Fernandez, maybe a Rashford, of course all these players, it's not every single player in the game. Obviously it is only players that are on clubs that have made it into the Champions League, into the group stages and they're currently in the competition as it stands basically is how this works. So again, guys like Levedosk, Kyle Walker, again, Mane, Neymar, Kante, and these cards will be in packs year round just like the golds will be. And it's the exact same card stats. Now the only time that it has not been the exact same card stats is the first time that they did this in FIFA 19. And I think they learned their lesson in FIFA 19 to not do this ever again, but they gave the UCL cards all a plus one across the board boost, right? Plus one in every individual stat category and plus one on the face card stat. Now I really don't think that's gonna happen because they keep running promos and they like running these campaigns and promo teams like Road to the Knockouts way better than they do just giving these random gold cards a plus one upgrade. So I don't expect to see the plus one upgrades if they do bring those out and they supply these brand new Champions League rare cards like golds, then the gold cards are gonna drop even more. But I seriously, I really think that when these Champions League rares come out, they're gonna be a little bit more expensive than the golds right off the bat just because people are gonna wanna go after them. But it is gonna drop the golds in price I do believe because you're gonna see people sell these and they're gonna be worried about the supply of the blue cards. And it's basically just gonna supply especially these top tier players even a little bit more on the market. So that's I guess my fair warning or I guess something to watch out for with some of these gold cards. Now I don't think that it's gonna be like the craziest market crash ever. Let's use Bruno as our example again, right? Let's say Bruno gets a Champions League card, right now he's like 92K, right? 92,000 coins for this 88 Bruno. Let's say that they bring out the UCLs on Tuesday, Bruno might drop three, four, 5,000 coins, right? I don't think it's gonna be a crazy drop but I do think that you will see some prices dropping just because it's more supply for basically the exact same card on this game and that's gonna end up dropping the prices in the couple of days after that. So that's just my opinion on how that is gonna work and I wanted to give you guys a heads up on that because that is coming very soon and that's gonna impact the market. So that is my little two cents on the UCL Rare cards. It also will end up being an incredible card to actually trade with for SBCs because if these cards are coming into packs on Tuesday, what we should also see in the SBCs section is a brand new type of marquee matchups called the UEFA marquee matchups and you guys remember how these work, it's basically just like the normal marquee matchups instead of SBCs but instead, it is based upon the Europa League and the Champions League and I guess now they could throw in the conference league games that are happening that week, pick some of the best matchups, the biggest teams that are going against each other or most important matchups of that week and then make an SBC section out of it. Usually I think it's just two sections, they usually do like a Tuesday game and a Wednesday game and most of the time it's just Champions League so that's just something to note for the UEFA marquee matchups which I think we haven't seen them yet, I think we will see them this week since we're in the middle of a Champions League-based promo and I guess UCL, Europa League and conference league-based promo, I think we will see that content this week, that's why I feel so strongly about seeing those cards and having them impact the market. Now, speaking of the market, let's talk about this thing man because it is Monday, right? We are heading into Monday, which is a pretty, in the past couple of weeks, Monday's been a pretty quiet day for the market, it really has. Usually we head out of the weekend league, the market high as people are exiting weekend league, getting their rewards, the last rewards are gonna be claimed tonight which is gonna be some of the last time supply for some of these special cards that are in packs unless we have some sort of pack supply SPC or something going on, I mean you wait for marquee matchups on Tuesday or Wednesday whenever that's released could impact the market a bit. But usually this reward set, the way that the market looks this year, besides any special content EA would have put out, this might be the last kind of set of rewards and pack supply for some of these cards that are in packs especially the team of the week, right? And this team of the week is absolutely getting destroyed right now on the market. A combination of panic selling and just more supply than normal has these cards down bad. Like I mean we thought Raphinha was crazy cheap at 50K. I mean, if you guys have any team of the week for us I'm even in this with you a little bit. I picked up Raphinha at 50K and my man is now down after these last few hours heading into the Weekend League rewards timeframe. He is 39,000 coins. He dropped 10,000 coins just yesterday on this game. DePye is 48,000 coins. Taya Hernandez has dipped under 200K. Lazano is 22, it's crazy, right? And this is the reason why these prices are dropping is it's because of a couple of things, right? It's two things that are happening here. Number one, you had the whole no loss glitch on the Weekend League issue that was going on this weekend and that had and that brought a lot more people better rewards than what they usually get and that's bringing more supply to this market but also what you have on top of that is people that think that these prices are way too cheap and they're investing in these cards. See, you can see here, we look at the 59th minute these Raphinhas that are getting listed up there's a second owner, no games played, right? That's an investor, third owner, no games played for that guy's account, right? Fourth owner, that guy played some games that second owner, no games played. That is somebody that is selling their cards scared of the rewards supplied tonight, right? Especially if you see no chem style, no games played like this guy, that's somebody panic selling Raphinha because they invested and he didn't go up and now they're trying to get out before the rewards supply tonight. So I do think there's one of two things that could happen. This Team of the Week could stay really, really cheap just like Team of the Week two did.  It took them a couple of days to actually rise. Normally a Team of the Week starts to rise right after the weekend. Now with a couple of these cards like Teo Hernandez dipping under 200K for the first time, he was 190, just a little bit ago. I wanna look and see, are these a lot of second owners, first owner games played, second owner no games played? There's a first owner. So again, it's a mixture of people that invested in these to try to buy them for a market rise as we had towards the mid-week. And also some people that are actually packing them from week-in-league rewards, from their tradable packs that they're attaining from week-in-league rewards on this late Sunday night, early Monday morning. So I do think that people are gonna be active and start to invest in these inforums. And I think that the drops that you have had today, if people panic-stole these inforums today, I think you're gonna see a new wave of investing, right? And the only ones that I would, you know, kind of be interested in on this market at the moment, let's see if that 193 Teo Hernandez gets bought. It did. So there's people that are looking to invest in these, even though they've dropped off even more. I think the only two cards that I would be really interested in just because of their rarity, right? Rarity on this market and on this game is just holds so much weight when you're trying to buy cards for a rise out of packs. I think Mane and Teo Hernandez with a, actually I would give a honorable mention, a shout to Kailor Navas, just because of the links that he has with the hype of Campembe and Marquinhos. But out of this team of the week four, I'm not gonna be buying cards. I really, I have a couple de-pies and a couple rafinas that I'm losing coins on on my transfer list. One rafina and two de-pies to be exact. I'm not gonna be buying any more of this team of the week unless it is Mane or Teo Hernandez because those are the two cards that I think would jump the most and the quickest because they're the most rare and the most meta. Now, if you wanna buy some of these cards, like I hear people investing in Thomas Muller as a quote unquote link investment for this upcoming team of the week, this card's gonna end up being over-invested because he's not gonna be needed for SBCs that soon. So any rise you see on a Thomas Muller this week, like if he hits 25, 26, 27,000 coins by the time we get to Tuesday or Wednesday, with supposedly having like, either Lewandowski or Nabri in team of the week, I'd be selling that card so quick, right? I'd be getting out of that card right away. I think some of these cards are gonna get invested in. Over the next couple of days. So just be very careful that although there are some sick cards that are in this team, I would just be very careful with those cards and investing in them, at least investing in a lot of them. If you wanna dabble, buy one or two, stock one in the club like I did with Caleb Namas, then I don't mind that, but just be careful with some of these cards. So that's my team of the week for Spiel, I guess you could say. Now with those rewards tonight, and again that last little bit of supply and with a lot of these cards having some games mid-week, you know, it may be a little bit worth your time looking into a couple of these cards and saying, hey, if I wanna get any of these for the short term, maybe for a quick flip, you might see Mukielle 61K. That has dropped off a considerable amount, even the last couple of hours, I believe. Mukielle was 70K this morning, 69,000 coins, and he has just dropped off really, really fast. I'm gonna check this out because I know this card isn't that insane. I know I talk about this card a lot, but this guy fills a much needed hole in this game as a French right back. There's literally no other French right backs in this game that people would wanna use. And we might have just had some actual foot bin undercuts here. 61K was a foot bin undercut. So if I could catch a snipe at 60, I would maybe put one of those in my transfer list just to see how it could do. But you might see some of these road to the knockouts rise up a little bit into the week just because they're a lot more rare. Boom, 60K, ooh, got sniped. These cards are a lot more rare than the ones to watch, normal promo cards. They're just really rare and they have potential games that will affect their upgrading stats this week. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, these cards that are playing and have games, if they win, you might see them go up a little bit in price. I know it's very early, but you might see some upswings on these cards in price this week depending on where they're at, whether at how close they are to the upgrade or clinching that knockout stage birth or qualification with however many points they need to get that inside of their group stage. So I would just keep an eye on some of those cards. I do think you'll see some of the market rise up today, a lot of gold cards, right?  I bought that Hyunmin Sun last night at 1.04, sold it at 1.17.  After I sold Sun, I bought these of the Youngs at 104 to 107,000 coins. He rose up between 117 and 120 in just a couple hours. That was a good flip. I bought Alfonso Davies at 40, 41,000 coins. I sold these at 46K. So there was some really good flips that you could have with gold cards. And as I'm watching the market right now, I'm keeping an eye out for this early Monday morning, maybe some cards that are just kind of down in price, especially on the high tier meta, cards that people are gonna be upgrading for out of their weekend league. I'm taking a look at Kevin De Bruyne, unless this is a footbin undercut. He was around 150, footbin chose 144. Okay, he's actually not 144. That was definitely an undercut. But you know, I'm keeping an eye on that. I'm keeping an eye on a guy like Goretzka. I'm keeping an eye on some of these gold cards that are the most meta items in this game that people like to use that they might be upgrading to after they get their rewards this morning on Monday. We did see the market rise up a little bit last Monday after these rewards were released. So it's gonna be a good time to trade with some of these cards like icons, maybe some heroes if they get supplied.  So if you see any gold card drop off in these next couple hours this morning, or when you're watching this video, just take a look at some graphs, right? Again, like I showed you last night, I'll even show you the De Young graph that I was looking at last night when I bought his card yesterday right here. I could see it on Saturday. He hit a point of 112, a little bit of promo supply. He went back to 110. And I was like, man, this is a card that a lot of people are gonna wanna use to link with that Fikir card in the Usman D'Ambale and their Play of the Month Benzema. He went back down to 107, dipped to 103. Boom, got in right around here. I actually bought my cards about right here. During rewards, he dipped just a slight bit and then rose all the way back up to 117 where he's kinda been, right? The market really kept going higher yesterday on Sunday because there wasn't a lot of content and there wasn't a lot of supply. And I expect with a little bit of a dip at rewards today, you're gonna kinda see the same thing. Bit of a dip at rewards, rising up into the day today on Monday. Now that dip could be stopped short, depending on what content we have. But for SBC-wise, today on Monday, the only thing I'm really expecting 100% is upgrade packs. Some sort of upgrade pack. And people might be a little more excited for upgrade packs for this promo rather than last weeks and two weeks it goes once to watch promo just because these cards are pretty cool. And they have a better card design in my opinion. They, you know, the upgrade chances are more team-based which people like a lot more than individual-based. And these cards, I would say that there's better cards since they already have upgrades on them. There's better cards in this road to the knockout stage set than there were with ones to watch. So, you know, you might see some people going out and doing those upgrade packs today. You know, we haven't gotten the second objective player which I am a little bit surprised about. We have not gotten a second one of those. We only have Andre in here, but maybe they're waiting until this next Friday to drop us another objective card because this Andre is out for nine more days. We's out past this Friday. So, they might be dropping another one of these into the game on Friday. We'll have to see what they end up doing with that because in my opinion what they're gonna do is they're gonna run this week. These cards, these road to the knockout cards are gonna be in packs till Friday. They're gonna run week two of this. There's gonna be a team two of road to the knockouts. And then those cards are gonna be in packs just like ones to watch team two. They're gonna be in packs till next Wednesday. And then they're gonna be setting up for whatever next promo is after that. The Friday after that Wednesday where they cut the second team short, if you will. So, that is what I think they might do with this market on this game. Now, of course, you got a lot of stuff moving on this market, right? You got stuff going up. You got stuff going down. At some point as well, for some of these cards that are less than 20,000, 30,000 coins is specifically LaCroix, right? And maybe you guys are feeling the struggle at the moment. You're like, man, I bought LaCroix for 18,000 coins and right now he's 13K.   He's gonna get packed. He's there in UCL. So, if he gets a UCL item, I think this would be the type of card that would get hurt a lot by a UCL item. It's just gonna get pushed lower and lower and lower with the pack weight. I would just hold this card though. This is what I'm saying. I bought a LaCroix for 11,000 coins and right now he's 13K. Maybe you bought him for like 16, 17, 18,000 coins, maybe even 20K. But if this guy is gonna be your team for the next couple of weeks with just how good he is in this game, then just leave him there, right? And that's one thing that I would encourage you with right now is like, don't feel like you always have to stay 100% on top of your team. Like I bought a Chalmeni to try out for the squad today. I bought this guy for 22,000 coins, strike or position change with the shadow. I literally bought into the trading method that we work on, right? Position change, chem style trading. I bought a card that somebody's probably making profit on. But I don't care, right? I'm trying the card out. I'm having fun with my team and these cards this year are so cheap compared to years past that unless you're rocking with somebody that's like an Mbappe or it's like maybe even a Bruno Fernandez or somebody that's like more than 50,000 coins that is maybe gonna drop in price a lot in the next month or so. I wouldn't be super duper worried about trying to buy and sell and making sure that you at all times have a card in your team that was at a low price. It was at a good price because that takes a lot of worry and that takes a lot of the fun out of the game too when you're trying to play the game for gameplay reasons. So that's my short little TED talk, I guess you could say, about this market at the moment. So again, today on Monday I'm expecting kind of another high market day which means it might be a bit of a slow day on the game. We'll be looking for some icon deals. And again, if you're trading with icons too just remember that these cards are continually going upwards in price as people get more coins. And yes, these cards do get supplied a little bit more but the rate at people are gaining coins is a lot higher than these cards are getting supplied on the market. So that's why you see these cards continue to rise up in price. They're great to trade with, they fluctuate all the time. They're absolutely a blast to trade with on this game. So just keeping on these cards as well, keeping on the heroes, your road to the knockouts should be a fun week on FIFA especially if they do add in those UCL blue cards. I think that will impact the market a decent amount and we're gonna be watching out for that as it comes. Of course streaming every day this week live on stream Twitch.tv slash the foot account and that link is down below. Make sure you check that out. But that's the video for today boys. A little bit of a market outlook talking about what the frick is going on with this game and where this market may be headed in the next day or so with these UCL cards coming tomorrow with these road to the knockouts with that weak and weak reward supply. And yeah, that's kind of what's going on with this game boys. If you did enjoy the video, make sure to hit a thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new.

Okay, so a little while back, I did a video on a dash cam I got from my car. It wasn't the best dash cam, it was a cheap $20 one, took decent enough video. Not great. But I really want something wireless that I can connect to that when I pull in the driveway maybe it dumps the video to my computer or whatever. I didn't really like any of the options out there for pre-made stuff. I thought maybe, hey, I've got a bunch of old Android phones laying around. I can turn one of those into a dash cam, but I didn't find any open source example code for that for something that just when the phone turns on, it just starts recording. I started to look at the code, but I hate Android development and it's just to write a simple hello world program, takes folders and files, multiple things, and it's just a headache. So I'm like, how can I create something that I can program to my liking? So I thought, hey, I've played with these ESP32 cam boards before. The quality might not be that great, but I can program it however I want. So I ordered one. I ordered one that came with a little programmer module that I can connect it to. I went to plug it in and this is the USB port from the programmer module. It's not soldered on. There's no solder on these connections at all. If I can place it on there and plug it in the USB and it actually connects to my computer, but it's not soldered on and I could solder on myself, but I just bought it. So I'm going to be sending it back. They're already sending me a new one. And if they forgot to solder this, what other problems are with this board currently? And that happens sometimes when you order these cheap little devices. So I'm not too surprised. I'll probably do a video on this. If you think this is something interesting, you want to see a comment in the description of this video, but I just wanted to share this little experience because it was just, I just went to plug it in and the USB port went boop and popped right off. And I was like, what just happened? And I thought I wasn't pressing that hard and I look and there is no solder on this whatsoever. So anyway, that's just a little update on what I'm working on. I hope you have a great day.


Greetings! I'm calling you through the past and I'm speaking to you through a vintage 1970 Bell Labs Mod 2 picture phone. Two of these devices are held by the Carnegie Mellon University Libraries who, in conjunction with the Human Computer Interaction Institute, have refurbished these historic machines to celebrate the 50th anniversary of commercial video conferencing. On June 30th 1970, the mayor of Pittsburgh spoke with the chairman of Alcoa on the inaugural call in AT&T's offices in downtown Pittsburgh. Good morning John, you're looking well this morning. I'm very pleased and proud John to participate with you this morning. AT&T's picture phone system launched to customers the next day with 38 picture phones at use at eight Pittsburgh companies. The service later expanded to Chicago, New York, Washington DC and other major cities with some 450 sets in use by 1973. Like many technology first, it was not successful commercially. Nonetheless, it marked the first time that video calling moved from demo booths to people's desks and from a concept to practical business tool. This is a device that was intended to be a document camera as well as a video conferencing unit. It's a device intended to transmit images clearly and in as small a package as possible. Although it was too expensive for that era using sort of the electromechanical kind of state-of-the-art of the age, people recognized the utility in it, especially in the business domain. It laid the foundation for the video conferencing systems that we see today, things like zoom and Skype and so on.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. There was a lot of panic selling on the market today because of this loading screen. I want to talk about that with you guys today. Talk about the potential situations that we could see for this preseason promo and what this loading screen actually means. Should you sell those cards? Are they going to get re-released back in two packs? We'll take our best stab at it today. And again, just look at this loading screen, right? I don't think any of us expected this today. I don't think any of us expected to see the team of the season and team of the year car design on the loading screen. After what we've seen the first couple of days, the whole preseason thoughts of this maybe being tied to FIFA 21. Now we were thinking, okay, it's going to be tied to Europa League and Champions League because of the RTTF cards, the UCL Lives and the UEL Lives that were put on this loading screen yesterday. And now we're thinking there's going to be packs thrown back into, there's going to be these cards thrown back into packs. So this almost seems like footies all over again, but with like a Champions League twist, but why is it called preseason? Because we're sort of leading into FIFA 20. Maybe this is a promo that they're going to have last for the whole month of August while they release like FIFA 21 information and somehow tied that in. Who knows what this promotion is going to be. But a lot of people started to make some assumptions and get some ideas based off of this screen right here with the team of the year car design and the tots car design on display on the front. That prompted a lot of people today to go on the market and to offload some of their cards because they thought that these cards are going to come back into packs. And this meant to them that they were going to be getting supplied and people are well aware of what happens now when you get cards that are supplied back into packs for a second time. We saw it first time around with a team of season cards, the big drops that they had, anything that was released in batch one two or three. You guys know it took a big time crash in price because again, more supply for the market just means that price is going down because there is more and more supply for that card since it is in packs, people are opening upgrade packs it's toward the end of the game. So I want to talk about some of these price drops today because you can see here Kante was 1.7 million coins at one point on the PlayStation console. He's actually risen back up a little bit right now. We're going to take a look at his graph and foot bin. This is the picture and basically this is what happened with all the meta cards today that are out of packs the team of the years, team of the seasons that are very, very popular that a lot of you guys bought last week for your teams because we thought this whole thing was over. We thought the whole summer heat thing was over and this is continually what EA does every single year and what they've done throughout the past this year especially is that you think one promotion is over and then something else comes along and people are panicking on their cards basically every single week. Which is what EA wants because it makes you lose more coins in the long run because you're constantly buying and selling, buying and selling, losing on tax and playing into the market movements that happen with those panic sales. But Kante was 2.05 million this morning and 1.7 million on the Xbox dropped down to 1.7 million on the PlayStation and 1.4 million on the Xbox and he has bounced back a little bit on both consoles. Again, this is what happens anytime there is panic selling on a very meta and very popular out of packs card. Kante goes from 2 million down to 1.7, 1.6, 9 all the way back up to 1.8, 3 a couple hours after that just because of the panic selling people saw that card drop literally 300,000 coins and they said, yo, I'm picking it up, that's too cheap. He rose back up, the buyback kind of happened because people thought it was too cheap and then they went and they started kind of selling this card again because again he was 1.8, 3 now he's back down to 1.7, 6. So he's kind of dropped back down again on the market. Now let's answer this question. Should you guys be selling these cards right now before they could possibly be re-released back into packs? Now again, what I talked about just a bit ago if they do get re-released back into packs that's gonna be a lot of extra supply that comes out of the market and they're going to go lower but if the loading screen and whatever that means does not actually entail that they're going to be put back into packs and it means something else that EA is gonna be doing in this next promo. Then these guys are gonna shoot back up because they're just the most meta and usable cards in the game, especially Team of the Years. That's one type of card that has not been re-released back into packs that is still very rare because they've only had one source of supply this year and that was during the one week where they were in packs in January during Team of the Year. So that is one thing that Team of the Years have going for them if they do not get re-released. You will see a really nice bounce back on these cards in my opinion later this week.  But again, Team of the Seasons got panic sold today as well. We've been talking a lot about Team of the Years. This in Abape was like 2.8, 2.9 million coins this weekend, Ben Yetter was like 3.8. He's down to 3.6, 3.5 I think even. 2.6 for Abape, 2.5. Neymar was like 4.3 million coins literally this morning. This Neymar Team of the Seasons card was 4.3 million coins this morning and right now I believe he's 3.9 under 3.9 million coins. So that is wild that there was that big of a drop off that fast. It just goes to show you that people are still intertwined with this game. People are still interacting and playing in FIFA 20 all from the team because they're interested in what's going on and it doesn't help that a lot of people just bought their end game teams because they thought FIFA was over and it was all FIFA 21 from here on out. And now we have this happening and this whole loading screen, panic selling and everything that was going on because of it. So if you still have cards in your club if you think they're going to get re-released back into packs, I can't make this decision for you. I do not know based off this loading screen what is going to happen. Seeing this on the loading screen to me tells me that I do think they will get re-released back into packs. But how much more hype is there and are they going to actually drop too much lower upon that release? Maybe on Wednesday, if it is said that Team of the Years, Team of the Seasons and like a full, a true best of the best version of every card in FIFA is in packs because that couldn't happen, then I think these cards would take another small dip and then a rebound shortly after that and into rewards the next day because TOTS, Team of the Year cards they're not going to get packed that much. Team of the Years especially are not in rewards. If the same summer heat rewards for Weekend League still come out this week, which they should be, Team of the Years will not be supplied with that. It'll just be the same Team of the Seasons for birthdays, headliners, anything 90 plus in the player picks, gold tune above and the elite packs. So I don't think Team of the Years would see as much of supply as the TOTS would but I still think you would see on the very, very amount of stuff like the Neymars, the Mbappes, the Benyeter, the Van Dyke, the De Bruyne, the Team of the Year Conte. I do think you would see a rebound on these cards just because people would start to buy them back unless the content for pre-season promo, whatever it is, is out of the park, insane, ridiculous, good value, almost like summer heat but even better if that's even possible. So just keep an eye out and keep a watch out for that, I suppose. If you're somebody who's on the fence, should I sell or should I not sell? Maybe you just wait until 6 p.m. UK on Wednesday and again it is basically August so don't get too wrapped up and worry about losing a couple hundred dollars in coins on a card that is multiple of millions of coins just because it's that stage of the game where you're gonna be playing with this card for another month and a half or two and then all your focus is gonna be on the next game where you don't start with 97 rated cards in your club. Now we'll see what happens again. Is this promo gonna be somehow related to FIFA 21? That would be sick if it is but honestly right now after what we saw in the last two days in the loading screen, it doesn't appear that it will. It looks almost just like hoodies, like summer heat with cards being re-released back into packs unless EA has something else up their sleeve. It is a well-timed promo if they're gonna be doing some stuff throughout the final cards and because Champions League and Europa League are starting up in the very, very near future and that's gonna be the only football that is on because a lot of the main leagues have finished. A lot of the main league has finished. The Prem just finished. Serie A is almost done I believe. We have a couple of games left in that. Of course you got the Cahya hon and the Alexis Sanchez summer showdown. This might be one of our last summer showdowns unless they do summer showdowns for, if they did summer showdowns for Champions League that would be dope like a Champions League summer showdown card. If they even just put out a new card design for that that'd be pretty freaking sweet in my opinion. So that could be something that we see as a part of this pre-season promo maybe but we will see what happens with that. You have like 16 hours as of right now to finish that. So I think on Tuesday you have to finish Cahya hon at some point or Alexis Sanchez which I did Sanchez just to see if he would get an upgrade. Actually you know what I did not see did Trezzagay or Masuaku get their upgrades to 93. Did that happen yet? Usually it happens about 24 hours after the game is over and it is a Monday evening right now when I'm recording this. So I'm gonna go do a quick check through concepts and see if Masuaku or Trezzagay got their 93 ratings boost. They have not gotten their boost yet because Masuaku is still at 92 and Trezzagay is still at 92 but both those are gonna get a plus one. Speaking of summer showdowns, hopefully very, very soon a lot of people did the Trezzagay even as a plus one he's probably gonna look really good. I think we really would have wanted to see him get that plus three though and go to a 95 rated card. He would have been absolutely cracked from that standpoint. So again, if you're wanting to know should I sell cards? Should I buy cards? I would honestly wait until Wednesday. If you're scared about losing more coins I think you could sell but I think there's more of a potential for some of these cards who actually bounce back because I don't know how EA is going to top the summer heat promo and even if they release these cards back into packs especially team of the years they're not gonna get packed that much. The only issue that I could see arising is cards that have both a team of the season and a team of the year. If the team of the year goes back into packs and that card gets supplied more most of these cards the team of the season is better like in Bapé right here the Tots has plus one shooting minus one passing and then the same everything else. So it just depends on which card you like more I like this one more it just seems I've always liked team of the year card designs better than team of the seasons. This year is you know team of the seasons look really good but I just love how the team of the year card looks. I love that design with like you know the ornament on the bottom it just looks regal. I know I've said it all year long just looks regal to me with that dark blue that's a good looking card right there. So if this does come back into packs the team of the season has had a lot of supply already from being in packs for multiple weeks excuse me for one week batch three it's got a little bit of extra supply. So an ultimate team of the season I guess you can consider that too. But it might if this card goes into packs it might drag down the Tots a little bit just because they're very similar in price. If this guy drops another 300, 400,000 coins I would expect this card to drop about the same amount or maybe like two 300,000 coins just because when one drops down they're so similar in price that I would expect both of them to drop together since they again are basically the same card in this game. Now today for Tuesday content what are we gonna see? Probably if in my opinion since this was the same content we had on Monday and I said this yesterday in the market outlook video I said hey I would not be surprised this week if our only content on Monday and Tuesday is a new loading screen and that's what it was on Monday so I wouldn't be surprised if that's what it is again on Tuesday. But seriously, look and see what they advertise on the promo screen today. It might give us another big time clue as to what is coming on Wednesday with this new promo. If you're grinding objectives right now Gigi's to you. I don't think yeah I've got a little bit of this one to go. I still have to work on Samedo. I played like two games last night. Actually I just played one game last night and I got some stuff done so I'm gonna have to keep working on that one. Since I have my Moments Figo if you guys watch the pack opening video that we did I did pack myself a Moments Figo from that icon or Moments Upgrade. So not a terrible car and he had a nice solid first game one goal, one assist as a contribution. So that was pretty solid for him. I also just realized that my coins are the same backwards as forward. What do you say? Same backwards as forwards. What is that called? One, four, two, one, two, four, one. A palindrome that's for a words but it's for numbers, right?  Now read it backwards 1.421, 241. I'm not gonna open any packs not gonna Quicksilver anything not gonna buy any cards because that is pretty, that's pretty cool. Anyways, again today on the market if you see more stuff on the loading screen more cards saying that they could go back into packs or any sort of content that looks like it could be a this goes back into packs or anything that looks super duper hype you might see a little bit more panic selling but for the rest of the next daytime I would expect these Tots cars to stay the same in value maybe trickle down a little bit possibly trickle up as the panic selling has kind of ended on most of these but again, I'm gonna leave it up to you guys. Honestly, it's really all depends on what EA drop on Wednesday with this promo with this content I might just wait until then because I'm still not so sure just how hyped this promo could be without or after coming this after coming out of this summer heat promo that was absolutely insane in terms of content the only one thing that still worries me a little bit is this icon upgrade is out for 19 more days so if there is something really dope that comes out that is grindable, that is craftable there's gonna be a lot of people that will full send their clubs into this SBC especially if you can get a few years people would really go in hard on upgrade packs if you wanna go in on rare golds at the moment you absolutely can I mean, they're basically discard right now to get at 650, 600 coins on bid you can see a lot of these guys are going for 650, 600 if you wanna go on a sign if you think there's gonna be upgrade packs coming and you think those cards are gonna come back into packs be my guest, at least stock your club if you want to SBC fodder wise at the moment things are looking still pretty pricey they are coming downwards but they're still pretty pricey based off of what we're used to 84s or 7,000 coins, 86s or 19, 20k these are high because of the icon SBC anything that is over 86 rated is kind of inflated because of that icon upgrade but these cards are fluctuating a decent amount now the golds are starting to get kind of cheaper because they're in packs they're getting supplied a little bit but these guys are fluctuating around a decent amount because like this Musa Dembele team of the season card he was just in packs for a week his price dropped a bunch all the way down here to 25k he's back up but he's getting into the cheapest solutions and he's very linkable so you can see he bounces around between 39k and 49k 38 to 45 so a lot of these cards are bouncing around as they get in and as they go out of SBC solutions for that prime icon or moments icon upgrade SBC so just keep your eyes out on some of the stuff for that if you're trying to make some coins right now on this game as well stock your club with rare golds if you think there's gonna be packs and you wanna grind those packs and good luck with your objectives if you're still finishing those and still we're just kind of sitting here waiting for Wednesday to see what happens on this game on Wednesday with this pre-season promo so if you enjoyed this video smash the thumbs up on it if you have any questions comment down below and of course if you're new hit that subscribe button as well I will catch you guys in a new video soon it's been Nate the Foot Accountant catch you guys later peace out


Alright, let's get started. First, some housekeeping rules. If you have not figured out where the toilet is, there's a treasure hunt. So if you can't figure out too bad.  Do not go out of the glass doors. Follow the glass panels and keep following it. You should be able to see the signs to the restroom. Okay? So another housekeeping. There's a lost and found umbrella. If it's yours, raise your hand. So I'm going to throw it to you. If not, come and look for one of the people in a Tech Ladies t-shirt and we'll try to give it back to you. Alright! My name is Elisha and I'm the founder of Tech Ladies and today I'm so happy to see all of you here. Taking time out in the evening to join us today. If you have no idea where you are, you're at a Tech Ladies Boot Camp 3 graduation party plus birthday bash. I promise you this is the only event with an overly long title. Our titles are usually pretty short. So this is here. Here is what we're going to do today. So I hope all of you are nice and full. Hopefully not in a food coma stage yet. We're going to hear a lot of talking. I'll start talking first and then there will be some presentations done by the Tech Ladies Boot Camp graduate. We'll end off with a panel discussion before we have some secret gifts and then we'll close for the day. So first of all, I'd like to thank all of our sponsors for helping us keep this event free and amazing, right? I mean you had good food, you had swag. So I'd like to just give them a shout out. So first of all, thank you Google developers for sponsoring the place. Neuroplanner, Terry, General Assembly who's giving us a 50% discount. Check your Goody back for the discount code. So they run a lot of classes, technical and also some finance and yeah, it's pretty cool. Check it out and we also, one of our sponsors is Amazon AWS and on-demand cloud computing platform. They're giving us $3,000 credit. Again, super awesome. And Nail Deck, a company that aims to create a world where anyone and everyone can celebrate their individual uniqueness through colors. They're giving us the $8 discount and men can also put on nail polish too, just saying. Express yourself with colors. So our bronze sponsor on the right is Live Love Luna. It's an eco-friendly business based in Singapore. Specializing in reusable menstrual products, menstrual cups, reusable cloth pads, period underwear and sea sponge tampons. They aim to be the leading information in Asia for people who menstruate. It's really super cool how our sponsor, our school sponsor is very tech ladies. Amazing. So our super sponsor is ThoughtWorks. It's a global technology company. And they are running a new program, a three month programming, coaching and mentoring program for individuals who want to learn technical skills and get a job in the tech industry. So through this program, you will get specialized personalized coaching from seasoned technologists. And they also have partners who help you get a job after the program. So applications close. Oh, okay.  Look for one of the few men. I think I'm sure you just look for men who dress in white, you will get one of the ThoughtWorkers. So applications close on the 15th of January is really soon, so do apply ASAP. Okay, last but certainly not least because it's our largest sponsor. It's our gold sponsor, Zendesk, a cloud based customer service software and support ticketing system. So a bunch of them are here as well. If you work at Zendesk, why don't you just raise your hand, make a little bit sound. Oh, that's a lot. All women great. So now I'm going to welcome Loh Shing to address the crowd. Clap la. Hi everyone. Welcome to the event. My name is Loh Shing. I'm from Zendesk, your accidental gold sponsor for the night. I didn't know that I actually didn't know they were the gold sponsor. When I was approached by the organizer and say, you know, with a little bit of money for dinner, could Zendesk sponsor the dinner? And I thought, well, I have to eat too, right? So I said, yeah, okay, we'll sponsor the dinner. And then I just came here and realized that because we sponsored the dinner, we became the gold sponsor. And unfortunately, you know, you're forced to have three captive minutes to be with me. So I thought maybe I'll take the chance to just introduce to you about Zendesk.  But if you're not, just allow me to give you a quick introductions about Zendesk. And let's start with Zendesk Singapore. Zendesk Singapore, some of you probably know, started by Zopim. Three young guys, you know, in 2005 after the NOC program, they did nothing spectacular. Totally wasted the government money and decided to come and sell everything that they had on Craig's list and decided to come home to Singapore. And the problem is selling on Craig's list is you have to wait for emails to come in. And they thought, well, you know, it would be nice to have the way to do instant messaging over the web. And they thought, wow, this is a brilliant idea. So they came back, they pitched the vaporware, you know, to an investor, say, all right, you know, show me the prototype, since the idea sounds interesting. And one of the founders spent a couple of months working day and night and worked out the prototype. It was not funded, you know, the investor was not interested. So what happened subsequently is they picked up the iGen fund with 50,000. They thought, you know, this is still a very cool idea. I'm not sure this is a word-changing idea. So by the time they raised the fund, they realized that the live chat is actually a pretty mature industry. There's like, you know, if you do a search for live chat, there's a lot of them. And they didn't know, they didn't know at all, but they've done so far. So that's how it was started, completely clueless, completely not the way to build a business. Absolutely not the way that you will do your next startup. But eventually, at the same time, 2007, three guys in Copenhagen, they started with just working, they were all working on IT support. And if you want IT support, you know how terrible the ticketing system is. So it's, oh, this is terrible and we can do something better. And they started building Zendesk as a better IT support system. But by today, Zendesk has gone beyond that. We're really a company that helps you to understand your customer better. It goes beyond just ticketing. We have chat, we have analytics. We have voice for voice call communications. So now we are complete CRM solutions. You know, that's about 10 years. And I think one thing that stood out when I joined is open and I met the people in Zendesk. I think one is a very special, but a company is we're extremely product focused company. For a lot of enterprise software, a lot of business will choose to build for the managers who has the purchasing power with feature list. And one thing that's unique about us is we're always very focused on building software for people who use the software. So I think there's, if you ask me what's most unique about Zendesk and Zopim, there will be one. Number two is the accidental success of a Singapore success story. People were just filled by passion in technology, has a big dream and completely clueless. So for those of you who are preparing to step into tech, come and definitely we'll see you guys around. Thank you. Thank you very much, Losheng, for addressing the crowd. Is Zendesk hiring? All the time. All the time. So if anyone's looking for opportunity, you know who to look for. All right. I'm going to take the next few minutes to share with you more about what tech ladies is. But before that, I want to share with you more about why I started tech ladies. So I am not a software engineer. I was a little bit odd. So I am a psychology graduate. So I did psychology in school. And my technical skills back then was only in PowerPoint and also PIN, which is, I could create something super cool too, I think. But I really learned how to code when I was building my own tech startup and I couldn't find a tech co-founder. That's when I started to learn programming. And through this journey, there's a few insights that I gained. So the ability to code to me is a superpower. And I think it's amazing. So a lot of problems that I face can be solved with technology. And when I can code, I simply think of a tool that can solve my own problem and build it myself. Super power. But then when I look around me and I started to wonder, programming is really interesting, but where are the women? I think one could write a 10-page manifesto on the biological differences between men and women and how it relates to tech. Burn, for those who are already in the industry. But I do think that there is a shame that women choose not to enter the industry because they think it's not for them because they are women. And that is why I created a community-led initiative called Tech Ladies for women to connect, learn, and advance as engineers. So by community-led, I mean four things. The first thing is we are not a real thing, actually. We're not a registered company. We're not a non-profit. Second, we are all just volunteers with our full-time jobs. And that means third thing, we do need a lot of sponsors and volunteers, so please come and talk to me if you have some skills you want to share. And the last thing is pretty, I would say, my favorite point because we are not a legal entity. We don't have a sound brand guide. My slides will have a lot of cats. I spend way too much time doing this instead of my real job. So at Tech Ladies, we believe that technology is for everyone. The industry is male-dominated. So we want to provide a platform, a place where women can come and learn how to code. Having said that, we are not anti-men. We are four women, we are not anti-men. In fact, a lot of our coaches and mentors are male. So if you have a volunteer as a coach, as a bootcamp coach or a workshop coach, can you stand up? Hey, why you're so shy? So please join me and give them a round of applause, especially for the men. Okay, can sit down now. So whether you're someone who is exploring the industry, or someone who is learning how to code, or someone who is already in the industry, we do have different programs that you can join. And I'm going to take the next few minutes to share with you what we do at Tech Ladies, other than feeding you good food. So we have six programs under three pillars, community, education, and opportunity. If you, like me, can't really remember what we do, just remember CEO. Pretty smart, isn't it? No? Thank you. I'm going to start by sharing what we do under the community pillar. So through a community, we just want to give women a place to come together and hang out. So under this sort of pillar, we have Go, which is really us sharing about other tech events that we see, and trying to find like-minded peers to go together.  And a lot of people were commenting on the post saying wondering if they were good enough, technical enough to join the hackathon. And what happened was that a lot of women started to encourage one another, and they started forming teams to go together to the hackathons together. For many of them, this is the first hackathon there have been. So I'm pretty excited to see more stories like that. For it, basically, it's just us getting together because we love tech and we love food. So moving on to the education pillar. So we do have two programs. I'll start with the tech-lady study, which really is what it says. This is a self-reliant study group where we'll just meet every week at a cafe and learn how to code. There will be one or two mentors helping to answer any questions that we have. The second is the coding weekend. Again, it is what it says. Probably pretty terrible at naming. So a coding weekend is a two-day workshop over a weekend teaching women how to code with Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and CSS HTML. So this photo was actually one of the... It's the first coding weekend workshop that we held that's initiated and organized by one of the bootcamp graduates. Her name is Sing Tian. So she put it together and we taught 80 women in Kuala Lumpur how to code over the weekend. And under the opportunity pillar is Tech Talks. Again, it is what it is. So this is an initiative started by another bootcamp grad, Kate. So through Tech Talks, we want to let women beginners to share technical topics of whatever they are learning. This helps women build their confidence in terms of public speaking and also show other people that programming can be for them. Since a lot of our community has also been asking us what are the different roles in the tech industry, we also started this other initiative, Office Visits. The first Office Visits was organized by Ling over there. Probably a bit shy to say hi. Let's all say hi, Ling. Hi, Ling! She's going to die of embarrassment now. So in this series of events, we go to different tech companies to hear from their female employees. In this case, it was at ThoughtWorks, one of our silver sponsors. And in this photo, this photo actually happened after the main event ended. So a lot of people were just asking questions and it was an informal second panel discussion. Are you that guy? I'm on the right side. Yeah, yeah, this guy on the t-shirt? On the right side. Oh, that one! Okay. Cool. Small world. Thanks for coming again. So, and the last thing, the last program is probably all of you should know because you're part of this series of event that's Tech Ladies Bootcamp.  Maybe I should just give a price for, you know, how many cats have we shown in my slide. So the Tech Ladies Bootcamp is a 12- is a part-time accelerated learning program where we take women with beginner skills, train them to become professional programmers. And we teach them by having industry experts guide this woman to create products for nonprofit organizations. So, so far we have 29 graduates out of the three bootcamps. And these are women from completely non-technical bootcamps. There's a gymnast teacher, there are people from their previously asked orders, finance, marketing, logistics. These are completely non-technical backgrounds. So far through three bootcamps, we have helped eight women find technical jobs. So, I think that's good. And through this program, we have helped nine organizations who have done, and we have done a film submission app, a adoption app, a class management app, and a donor management app. So on top of technical, technical is great. We also help women to stand out in an industry by writing articles on them and pushing them to do talks and embarrassing them at events like Ling. So, I want to quickly share a story of two ladies. They may look alike. I assure you they are different people and you don't have to be wearing black specks and put your hair on the right side in order to succeed in the industry. Same. So Clara has been struggling to learn reels on her own for close to a year before she found out about tech ladies bootcamp and she joined. So before that, she was actually a fashion businesswoman and her coach was impressed with her so much so that he gave her an internship and she was converted into a junior software role after the internship ended. And Shing Tien, I think I've mentioned her name a few times now, so she was kicked out of a master's program and she was really down after that. But through programming, she found her light and through the bootcamp, she was hired by the startup and today she works as a startup in Malaysia. She's spoken at Red Dot Ruby Conference in front of the creator of the Ruby programming language. She has also organized a workshop in Malaysia, the one that we did. So it's pretty amazing to see how people give back to the community and pay it forward. And what's more amazing is that they paid forward after receiving so much help for their coaches who are volunteers. It's like a gift that keeps giving. So let's talk a little bit more about our latest bootcamp, our third iteration of our Tech Ladies Bootcamp. So this is thought by six coaches who are industry experts, people who have given talks at conferences, organized workshops, and have volunteered close to 100 hours through the bootcamp. So let's give them a round of applause to thank them for their time. Thank you so much. So these coaches have taught six ladies who helped to code for two organizations. So these ladies, they come from, again, a variety of backgrounds, including pets, finance, logistics, and logistics industry. Again, you don't have to be holding an animal in photos to join the bootcamp. It just so happened that it's always a trend somehow. So these ladies all have one common goal, to learn how to code while contributing back to the community. And I hope you're as excited as I am to hear what they've built through the program. So now I'd like to invite the team Tech Ladies, the team who has built an app for us. So welcome, Team Tech Ladies.
