Good afternoon everyone. Myself Piyusha Shedgarh. Today we will see the topic microwave component magic tea. These are the learning outcomes. At the end of this session, students will be able to derive the scattering matrix for magic tea junction. They will be able to apply the properties of s matrix to magic tea junction. These are the contents. So what is microwave tea junction? Microwave tea junction is an interconnection of three waveguides in the form of English alphabet T. So there are the several types of the tea junctions. These are the microwave components. H-plane tea junction, E-plane tea junction and the combination of E-plane tea and H-plane tea junction that is it is also called as magic tea junction. So before going to start the microwave component magic tea junction, you can pause video here for a second and recall that what are the properties of s matrix. Now what is magic tea junction? Magic tea junction it is also called as E-H-plane tea junction. It is formed by attaching two simple waveguides one parallel and the other is in series to a rectangular waveguide which already have the two ports. This is called as a magic tea junction. It is also known as hybrid or 3 dB coupler. The arms of rectangular waveguide mix the two ports are called collinear ports that is if the rectangular waveguide having the already two ports port 1 and port 2 are collinear while port 3 is called as a H-arm or it is connected in parallel therefore it is also called as a parallel port. Port 4 is connected in series so it is called as E-arm or difference port or series port. So this is the magic tea junction. So here the rectangular waveguide which having the ports 1 and port 2 already are collinear with each other if the H-arm is connected here at the side arm of the rectangular waveguide and E-arm is connected here. So you can say that it is the combination of E and H-plane tea therefore it is known as a magic tea junction. In practical session you can use this magic tea junction which having the ports 1 and port 2 and the port 3 and port 4 are nothing but the E-arm and H-arm. So what are the characteristics of the magic tea? So if the signal is applied to port 1 and port 2 which having the equal phase and the magnitude then the output at port 4 is equal to 0 whereas output at port 3 is nothing but the addition of the input at port 1 and port 2 it is known as the additive property of the magic tea. So if the signal is fed at the port 3 then the power is divided between the port 1 and port 2 equally while the output at port 4 is equal to 0. That is if the input is applied to port 3 the output at port 4 is equal to 0 it is denoted with S4 3 equal to 0. S4 3 is one of the scattering coefficient of the magic tea junction. So if the signal is fed at one of the collinear port that is at port 1 or port 2 then there appears no output at the another collinear port as the E-arm produces a phase delay and the H-arm produces a phase advanced. Therefore S12 equal to S21 equal to 0. Now let us discuss the properties of the magic tea. So as you know that the port 1 and port 2 are collinear port but if you are applying the input to port 1 you are not getting the output at the another collinear arm. This is the important property of the magic tea. It is somewhat like a magic and therefore it is known as the magic tea junction. So it having the 4 ports port 1, 2, 3 and 4 therefore the S matrix for the magic tea is defined by 4 by 4 order. Thus it having the 4 possible inputs and the 4 possible outputs. Now how to calculate the S matrix for the magic tea? Let us calculate the each parameter defined by this S matrix. Since it is a 4 port junction the scattering matrix is of order 4 by 4. So it having the scattering coefficient or it is also known as a scattering parameters. So total 16 parameters are there S11 to S4, 4. The properties of the magic tea can be defined by this matrix. So let us applying the properties of the S matrix to define the S matrix for the magic tea junction. Now because of the plane of the symmetry in H plane tea junction S23 equal to S13. That is if the input is applied to port 3 you are getting the same output at port 1 and port 2. So meaning of this is nothing but the plane of symmetry. Therefore the S23 becomes equal to S13. Now port 1 and port 2 are out of phase for the E plane tea junction and therefore S24 is equal to minus S14. That is if the input is applied to E arm you are getting the output at port 2 and port 1 are same but out of phase and therefore it can be written as S24 equal to minus of S14. Now because of the geometry of the junction at port 3 and port 4 S34 equal to S43 equal to 0. That means if the input is applied to port 4 you are getting the output at port 3 equal to 0 and if the input is applied to port 3 output at port 4 is equal to 0. Now consider the next property as a symmetry property. Here symmetry property is nothing but Sij equal to Sji. That is the number of column for this matrix is equal to the number of column for the second matrix. So by using this property you can write these coefficients are equal that is S12 equal to S21, 13 equal to 31, 23 equal to 32 and from the figure equation number 1 S23 is nothing but S13. Therefore S23 equal to S32 equal to S13. Similarly S34 equal to S43, S24 equal to 42, S41 equal to S14 which is nothing but equal to minus S24 from equation number 2. Now the next property as the port 3 and port 4 are perfectly matched to the junction S33 equal to S44 equal to 0. That is if the input is applied to the port 3 the same port which having the output is equal to 0. Now using all these values for the scattering coefficients you can rewrite the matrix defined in above slide. So you are getting the matrix for this magic T is nothing but this one while in this case the lower rectangular box becomes is equal to 0. Thus you can observe this matrix which having the 4 unknown value which you have to define the values for this S parameters. Now from the unitary property unitary property is nothing but the scattering matrix multiplied with the complex conjugate of that scattering matrix it becomes equal to the unitary matrix. So here the scattering matrix is considered each parameter is complex conjugated which becomes equal to the unitary matrix. Now by solving this equations taking the combination of the row 1 and the column 1 for the second matrix R1 C1 R2 C2 R3 C3 and R4 C4 you can write the equations 6 7 8 9 for this. Now from the equation 8 and 9 you are getting the equation twice of S13 square is equal to 1. Here by solving this equation getting the equation for the scattering coefficient S13 is equal to 1 by root 2. Similarly S14 is equal to 1 by root 2. Now from equation 6 and 7 you know the equations 6 and 7 these two are the equations. So by comparing these equations all parameters are equal except this S11 and S22. Therefore you can write S11 and S22 from equation 6 and 7 putting these values from equation 10 into the equation number 6 you getting this equation. Now from this equation you can write S11 square plus S12 square is equal to 0. So by solving this equation both parameters S11 and S12 becomes equal to 0. From this equation you know that S11 equal to S22 and therefore in above slide you are getting the value of S11 as equal to 0 and therefore S22 is also equal to 0. Now you know all these four parameters you can put all these parameters into the S matrix. So this is the S matrix for the magic t which having the values is 1 by root 2 1 by root 2 and minus 1 by root 2 because of the E plane t junction. Now you know that how to find out the output for these all ports. So this is the equation output matrix B equal to S into A. Why this output matrix is the B and the input matrix is defined with this column matrix as a A and this is the scattering matrix. So by using this you can write the equation for the four outputs B1, B2, B3 and B4. Thus you are getting this equation 15, 16, 17 and 18. Now consider the different cases. The case 1 input is applied to port 3 that is no input is at port 1 and 2 and 4. Thus by putting all these values in the above equation you are getting B1 equal to and B2 equal to 1 by root 2 A3. This is the property of H plane t junction which have discussed in the previous slides. Now the case 2 consider that now the input is applied to port 4 and the other ports are equal to 0. Put all these values in the above equations as you are getting B1 and B2 having the same values but these are out of phase to each other and this is the property of E plane t junction. While the output at port 3 and port 4 is equal to 0. Consider the case 3 if the input is applied to port 1 and the other inputs are at other ports equal to 0. Now by putting all these values you are getting B3 equal to B4 the same values 1 by root 2 of A1. That is when the power fed to port 1 there is no any output at port 2 even though they are collinear ports thus it is like magic and therefore these are called as isolated ports. Similarly if the input is applied to port 3 you are not getting any output at port 4 thus E and H ports are also isolated ports. These are the references for this session. Thank you.


Our fifth inductee is Tonya Ramsell. Tonya was a four year standout for the women's soccer and basketball teams. In soccer, she recorded 45 goals and 23 assists and is the program's all-time assist leader while ranking third in goals and points. In basketball, she ranked second in career assists with 325 and averaged 6.6 points and 3.1 assists. Aggression, want to win. Hostile, very hard worker. Tonya is the fiercest competitor I think. One of the fiercest competitors I've ever met. She's always been super competitive. I've known her now for a long time and good friends with her. She's a funny story. She's so competitive that I once saw her get into an argument with her now husband, Nick, a staff faculty kickball game over a bad pitch that he gave her. That's just the kind of person she is. She's super competitive in all aspects. Tonya was just a leader. She was stubborn and she's a leader and I watched her grow through that time and learn some humility. As a college kid, she was someone that knew she didn't have all the answers and she asked for help navigating some of the challenges of being a young leader and respected on a team. She always came and asked for advice, but she was a leader and stubborn at the same time. She worked so hard. She was a captain. She was well respected by every teammate. Every teammate. That's very important. Not only was she respected and did the job, she performed. Her stats prove it. If you looked at her stats for soccer and if you looked at her stats for basketball, she deserved it on that and she deserved it on her being a student and a citizen. You know, it's very tough to be a dual sport athlete. To be able to do soccer and basketball is definitely one of the toughest ones to be a dual sport athlete. But Tonya never showed fatigue. She worked hard and put everything into both teams. She cared about her teammates on both teams. She was a great student which showed by her going on to graduate school here at Stevenson, just a leader. She always pushed for everything she had to work hard for everything she had. It wasn't like everything came naturally to her. People watched her work through all of her challenges and then have some success. She's also been deeply committed to the university since her graduation and she's been one of the biggest advocates for the value of that college. From the class of 2008, it is my honor to welcome Tonya Ramsell into the Dick Watts Athletics Hall of Fame. Thank you. Wow, I love this place.  Thank you to Paul and his Hall of Fame committee for selecting me to be part of such a wonderful group. Thank them. They put on a show and it's a lot of work and they do a great job at it. I'd also like to thank my friend Katelyn Fisher who nominated me. I've attended this event since the inauguration in 2014 and it's been so wonderful hearing stories about the early years of VJC. Hearing those stories made me appreciate a lot more of what we had during our time in comparison. While my experience was very transitional, the athletes before me experienced more like a DIY version of their time here. They made a lot out of very little. And for that alone, it's a true honor and very humbling to be a part of a group that has already been inducted. As they paved the way and set the bar very high for the VJC blue collar standard, so thank you. You create a culture for what VJC is and SU is today. So congratulations to my fellow Hall of Famers class of 2018. It's an honor to be inducted with you all tonight. There's no question that I would not be here tonight or accomplish what I've accomplished without so many people in this room. To begin, I'd like to thank my family. My family has been my biggest fans and my biggest critics. They would be one of the first to let me know when I had a good game and they were always the first to let me know when I did not do so well. I've generally appreciated their honesty over the years as it allowed me to continue to work hard, never settle, set, and reach goals, and then make new ones. They have helped shape me into who I am today. Mom and Dad, thank you for sacrificing so much of your time, money, energy into my life and athletic career. I remember being on multiple soccer and basketball teams at once and you never made me feel like it was a problem or a hassle. You gave me the opportunity to do what I loved while sacrificing countless hours traveling to tournaments and away games to support me. Mom, you're my biggest cheerleader on the sideline. Dad, you would often run down the sideline, sideline screaming, run, run, run, run and go, go, go, go, which always made me go, go, go a little faster. Thank you so much for your love and support. There is absolutely no doubt that my older brothers are one of the biggest reasons why I am here today. They taught me how to play most sports. As early as I can remember, they allowed their little sister to follow them around and play whatever they played. As I grew older, I did realize the real reason why they taught me how to play basketball with a special focus in passing. If you ever met my brothers, you would know there's not a shot they don't like to take. And if I wanted to play with them, I had to buy into their game plan, pass them the ball. And they will keep me around for as long as I like if I keep passing them the ball. And for that, I dedicate my assist record to them. But more seriously, Patrick, my older brother, you have my oldest brother, you have dedicated your time coaching me and providing the tools I needed to be successful. The shooting strap in basketball one Christmas was one of the best gifts to date. I think we talked after almost every basketball game in college and your vested interests and constructive criticism hands down made me a better basketball player. Matt, your passion and intensity on the court always inspired and sparked the energy in me and in my game. You set the bar on how to leave everything on the court. I often thought about you when I needed to dig deep and push even harder in games. Thank you for finding the positives in my game, even when I had a bad one. As an extension of my family, I'd like to thank my teammates, especially the fellow Hall of Fame inductee, Cara Hill, and the 2006 women's soccer team. The start, Cara was one of the best teammates I ever had. I can't say best because I have a lot of teammates here with me. But she was truly one of the best. From the day I met her at my first open gym, I instantly respected her in her game. She was down to business. She wanted to win and set high expectations for our team. She helped elevate my game as I never wanted to disappoint her. Without her leadership, phenomenal skills, and work ethic, our team would not have won nearly as many games. She made me want to be a better player and teammate, as is, and it is an absolute true honor that I'm inducted tonight alongside of her, since I've looked up to her since day one. Congratulations, Cara Hill. You are the epitome of a Hall of Famer. During my time at VJC, my teammates and I shared many, many wonderful memories. I will not entertain you with those memories, mostly to preserve our reputation. But I will share that they all left me feeling the same. The feeling of love, laughter, appreciation for knowing such remarkable people. To give a little perspective, all of my bridesmaids are from Stevenson. Seven of them were my teammates. Thank you all for putting up with me, especially during practices when I struggled to scale back my competitiveness and intensity. At least no one got hurt. And a special shout out to my fellow ladies on the 2006 women's soccer team. I truly believe we were successful, partly because of our team chemistry, but mostly because of our awesome warm-up tape that so eloquently transitioned from down with the sickness a heavy jam into a beautiful, I'll make love to you, track that would leave other teams stunned and very confused.  Congratulations, ladies. To be honest, the real MVP's are the coaches. As they had to deal with all of our shenanigans. I was fortunate to have three coaches during my time and they all played an important role as I continued to grow as a player and a person. Lynette, thank you for emulating my family as you always kept it real with me. There was no sugar-coating my bad games and I always appreciated your ability to bring out the best in me. You made sure that your players acted and looked like a team. Like that one time you made us come in after a game at 6 a.m. because we all weren't wearing the same away gear on the bus. That was not my favorite practice, but I appreciate you always keeping us in check. I will always never forget the few practices we broke you with our shenanigans and you cracked a smile and sometimes even laughed.  Graham, who is unfortunately not here tonight, but he would go by Graham or when he would score in practice, he'd be like, no! And with that excitement kind of emulates what Graham is and I appreciate his approach to practicing games. Practices were very thoughtful, to game life scenarios and fun, for the most part. I especially enjoy the competition days even when I was his volunteer assistant. Thank you for bringing a new perspective to the game. You elevated women's soccer program to a new level. You left the program in a better place and now you're doing the same for the men's program here. It's been a pleasure having you as a coach, but even more so as a friend. Coach Raymer. I'm part of his gray hair that he has on his head. I'm sure. Although I may not have shown it as a player, I have endless love, gratitude and appreciation for you. Thank you for everything. Thank you for having patience with me, especially when I came in as a freshman and thought I knew everything. Looking back, I realized I knew nothing, or not nothing much at all. You gave me an opportunity to play through many mistakes and grow as a player and even more so mature into a better person. There's no doubt how much you loved and cared about all of us and treated us like one of your own daughters. You dedicated so much time and energy to help grow the program and you developed incredible and unforgettable relationships with all of your players along the way. Thank you for being you and allowing me to be me. I'd also like to thank Coach Adams for not only supporting me as a two-sport athlete, but as a colleague. You built a strong athletic department that cares so deeply about the athletes and also focused on the student side. You always said student first and athlete, and I appreciated that. Among the staff, I'd like to thank Mrs. Zimmerman. Since I decided to only play basketball my freshman year, I worked the soccer games as a student worker. Mrs. E. noticed I was doing a terrible job as a ball girl duties since I spent the entire game juggling on the sideline. At that point, instead of reprimanding me, she actually recruited me and convinced me to play both soccer and basketball at Villa in my further years.  Thank you to Ms. Fran, who was always so kind, helpful, and kept everyone in line. And finally, thank you to the athletic training staff as they helped a more stubborn version of myself recover from a few ankle and wrist injuries along the way. My ankle braces were certainly not a fashion statement as they accentuate my ankles. Fortunately, as a student athlete, again, student being first, I received a lot of support from the faculty on campus. So a special thank you to Chip Rouse for not only being my advisor, but a dear friend and a mentor to this day. Your love and support has guided me tremendously and I would not be here today without you. I'd also like to thank Steve Engorn and my Stevenson University online family, formerly GPS. It's interesting because up until two weeks ago, Stevenson was my home and place of employment for the past 10 plus years as I graduated in 2008. And as I finished my last season as a soccer, as a graduate student and assistant and in the GPS department, the team provided endless support as I grew into a full-time staff member. Steve was my mentor along the way and helped me grow professionally and personally. Thank you so much, Steve, and I miss you dearly. Last but certainly not least, I'd like to thank my husband, Nick, which gave me this wonderful name, Ramzel. Still getting used to it. It's probably the best that we didn't meet in college as I was a lot more competitive and intense back then. Can you even imagine? Thank you for helping me keep my competitive spirit alive as we continue to play in many leagues throughout the year. I've met my match and you keep my competitiveness in check as you hate losing almost as much as I do.  I love and appreciate you. Thank you.


I want to talk about the EPA, the pick for EPA Scott Pruitt, but first the Rockefeller family announced they are divesting themselves of all their holdings in Exxon. Tell my audience why they're divesting themselves of their holdings and they'll better understand Scott Pruitt. Some of the hot water that I talked about earlier that they've been in for denying climate change, science, and kind of even hiding the fact that they've known about the dangers of climate change for years and have been hiding that are some of the reasons they think they are divesting as they don't want to be associated with that kind of name and those issues there. They've had some kind of publicly they've said that they would support the Paris Climate Agreement, things like that, that the company believes that climate change is real, but more secretively and covertly really they've been funding climate science denial groups and different scientists, contrarian scientists that will basically say that the dangers aren't real and that it's not happening and so that's not something that big names like the Rockefellers want to be associated with. I read their letter, the Rockefeller family wrote an official letter, it was published in the New York Review of Books. One of the things I came to understand is that ExxonMobil for the past 40 years hired the top climate scientists in the world. You know, you always think NASA has the top client scientists, but it was really Exxon and about 40 years ago they realized they were heating up the planet and knew there was a problem and like the cigarette companies they chose to bury that information and the Rockefeller family is their fortune was built from ExxonMobil and they're walking away from it.

Are you looking for a little bit of help, motivation, accountability, and a little bit more of a community when it comes to your sewing? If so, then you need to be participating in my Instagram sewing challenge called Sew Together. So I started Sew Together this time last year when a similar concept that had been going for years and years and years could not get someone to lead the effort anymore. And theirs was very complicated. It included giveaways. It included sew-alongs. It was like a lot. And so I knew I couldn't sign up for their version of what this was, but I knew I could make like a similar version that I could manage, that still gave everybody like the feeling of the previous version. So that's why I started Sew Together. It's very, very simple. Every single month I post a poll on my Instagram. People vote for a pattern within that poll. Whatever pattern wins is the one that everybody's gonna be sewing for that month. There is no deadline. When you get yours done, you post yours. Simple as that because I know myself and I'm the kind of person that, for example, I haven't sewn October's Sew Together pattern from last year. And that's okay. I don't want to add any stress to anyone's life. I don't want to add another line item to a to-do list.  Before I get into January's Sew Together pattern, we're going to go through all the ins and outs of it today. The pattern, the fabric, the version I'm making, all of that. Before I get into that, I just want to remind you how helpful it is when you guys like the videos that you are watching. It helps YouTube know which ones to circulate and more people can find this video. Obviously, if you aren't already subscribed and if you're so inclined, you can click the bell. It just provides a little notification on the top of your screen. There's no emails, no major alerts.  And if you're new here, welcome. Like I said, I am Lindsay. I sew clothes all the time and I love inspiring and teaching you guys to sew clothes too. So if you're so inclined, please leave a comment in the comment section below introducing yourself so I can kind of get familiar with you and start to learn more about you guys as well. Okay, so the pattern for January is the J. Lee or Jolly, am I being French Canadian enough? Jolly Emily. And January's Sew Together patterns will always be free. I feel like January is one of those months where we're all kind of just like reevaluating our finances a little bit. And so I don't want that to be a reason why you can't participate. So January's pattern completely free, FYI, all the other patterns are always $12 or less, but the J. Lee, Jolly Emily is free, completely free. I also like to encourage people and we'll talk about fabric a little bit more to shop your stash. I know we've all got stashes, so this is a great opportunity to like double up on the challenge. Sew a stash fabric that way it's pretty much completely free, like a whole free garment if you don't factor in the money that you spent to buy the fabric to begin with. Don't you like how our sewing math works? And because it's free, maybe this is the time when you splurge on having your pattern printed by a large format printer. If you've been watching my videos for a while, you know that I am team large format printer. I am team, send that off. Somebody else do it for me. I have a whole video explaining all the reasons why you should be having a large format printer print your patterns including but also outside of the fact of the actual labor involved in tiling all of the sheets. I'm going to include that up here. You guys can click this link. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose your space here. But Sublime Graphics is my large format printer of choice. They are sewists and so I feel like they provide a service with the sewist in mind. Do you know what I mean? It's not like I could go down the street and get an engineering printer or an architectural printer to print my large format print patterns for me, but they aren't sewists so they don't know all the ins and outs and things that really make our lives easier. Sublime Graphics included in the price of your printing is color and the Jolly Emily is a color pattern. Like all their sizes are color coded. They will isolate a size for you for free. So the Jolly Emily, again we'll talk about this a lot more in a little bit, is a pattern where you used your full bus measurement as all the measurements.  So you can isolate that size or a couple of them. If you are grading in between sizes, you just send them a little note with your order and say I want sizes X, Y, and Z printed and then that's all you will get because the Amelie pattern does have a lot of sizes to it and it can get a little bit kind of overwhelming to look at that. They also, and this was the biggest game changer for me and the reason why I was so excited to work with them is because they print on tissue paper you guys. Now it's not the tissue paper that you're used to with big four. To me that is almost too lightweight. It tears really easily and it's hard to make adjustments to. Their tissue paper looks a little bit more like this, a little bit more like very thin vellum if you're familiar with like cardstock and papers like that. It's not completely see-through but it is somewhat transparent. You can see it there on my pair and the flowers on my dress and it's still somewhat sturdy. So you can cut into this and tape it and make adjustments to it and not feel like every time you look at it it's going to rip. They also print on like a mid-weight paper and then they have your traditional copy shop paper as well. So there are options if you're someone that's just like no stay away from tissue paper at all costs. They do have other options for you as well and all of their patterns print for a flat fee so it doesn't matter how many sheets, how many pages it costs you the same. It just depends on the paper and all of those amazing little services are all included.  Check the link in the description box where you can kind of price it out and see how much it would cost to get that printed and shipped to wherever you are. So the pattern itself is a boxy oversized sweater and I want you guys to remember those two adjectives as we continue to talk about the pattern.  It has a drop shoulder and like a tube type sleeve and then the body of the top is a box. It's a straight line from your uh full bus down. So we are not aiming for anything fitted, anything structured, anything shapely at all. This is a loose draithy design that's meant to kind of hang on your body and just fall into it. It is not meant to like I said be fitted. It's not meant to stand away from the body. Um it's meant to be very very large and oversized. All of that in mind I'm going to share with you guys my fast fit worksheet. This is what I filled out for my body and even though I am very much a pair, I have a 40 inch bust, 37 inch waist, 49 inch hip, boom boom boom, very pair right. I am still going to sew one straight size and when you do the fast fit worksheet it kind of explains to you how factoring in the body start body chart size that you are based on your body measurements as well as the design ease and wearing ease that are built into the pattern that the designer decides on how those two things work together to produce the size that you should actually cut. So in this pattern there's 12 inches of ease in the bust that is a foot, that is a lot of ease in the waist 15 and a half inches of ease and then in the hip only three and a half inches of ease. So you can see how the intention of this is to be very very baggy and loose and then as you get down to your hip it becomes semi-fitted. That can obviously be adjusted if you want it to be even more fitted but that's the intent of the designer to have it be very loose and very very very boxy and oversized very roomy right. Okay so now that we have that in mind when you guys go and fill out your fast fit worksheets and you were like oh my gosh how in the world am I this size or oh my gosh like look at that finished measurement like that doesn't match my body at all it does. If you don't have a copy of it yet I have my fast fit worksheet a link to it in the description box. I also have a workbook which is a whole bunch of worksheets bound together in like a paperback book. I will leave both of those for you in the description box so that you can grab the fast fit worksheet for yourself. It really does help you sort of conceptualize with facts and figures and numbers how a garment is supposed to fit.  Now all that to be said about the pattern itself let's shift and start talking about the fabric because your fabric choice is almost just as important here as your the size that you cut. So because the top is meant to be so loose and so drapey you have to find a fabric that is equally as drapey otherwise it's going to stand away from your body and you're going to feel like a potato sack. You're going to have those 12 inches of ease 15 and a half in your waist and it's all going to stand away from your body and you're just going to be like um I'm not really feeling this. So when you go to pick your fabric you need to find something very lightweight and very drapey. So in addition to the drapeiness of the fabric you also need to pay a lot of attention to stretch and that might be like but wait you've been telling us this whole time that it's super oversized like stretch shouldn't matter at all except for the fact that there is that roll top neck. There is that funnel neck that turtleneck type of thing here that constricts being able to get that over your head. So the pattern recommends 40 percent stretch to make sure that you can get that over your head. On your pattern instructions there is a stretch calculator like there's a ruler. So you just follow the instructions cut out a little scrap of fabric see if it stretches you know to the point that it needs to stretch and if it does then you're good you can get over your head no big deal. Okay so I have three different types of fabrics to show you. First up is a lightweight either fully rayon or rayon blend jersey. Okay so first of all look at this look at this drape right it is basically completely 100 percent folded in on itself you know it's not standing away it's not creating an umbrella. Then when you go to the selvage and you are starting to measure stretch you should not have a lot going the length of the fabric but you should have a ton going the other way. Um but super super draping do you guys see how drapey that is? Okay here's another one. This is some kind of like polyester something or another kind of silky feeling um it might like be a hundred percent polyester in fact I got this in New York City so I don't really remember but again the drape on this super super drapey completely falling in on itself and then when you do the stretch test you've got a little bit going one way and that that way was parallel to the selvage edge and then this way you've got a ton and then you can see how it's bouncing back a little bit but the important thing is stir I mean drape drape and stretch together um but this one has like a little bit of a silky hand to it so it's kind of like a little bit fancy if you wanted a fancy one and then all of this is not to say you can't have a sweater knit you can totally have a sweater knit you just gotta make sure it's blended the right way so that it has drape um here is the stretch perpendicular to the um selvage so not as much as the other two but still enough to get it over your head all right in terms of my own inspiration I am using my brand new sewing planner helps you plan projects um there's a checklist in there to make sure you are you know staying on track with what you need to get done as well as a little journal um one page journal entry at the end of every project to help you remember like what did I like about this what are some things I want to change next time what are some ideas I have for hacks and stuff so I'm going to be telling you guys a lot more about this planner in an upcoming video there is this color version and I also have a black and white version I'm going to be showing you through both of those um but for the purpose of today's video I want to talk about my own inspiration this is how I filled out my own sewing inspo page so of course I go to Pinterest like anybody and I look up I think I looked up oversized lightweight sweater and here are some examples of some outfits that I saw that I thought would really encapsulate my current style um I love the idea of wearing it just over leggings with like a really cool sneaker maybe the one of those like wedge sneakers um obsessed with the idea of an oversized slouchy sweater half tucked into some like high-waisted trouser that I think that's super cool even if you were to wear it with sneakers and kind of like you know juxtapose it that way so these were some of the ideas that I really liked off of Pinterest I also am paying attention to the fabrics that are being used you can tell there's a lot of solid colors or maybe like a marled sweater knit I think the stripe designs are looking really cool so there's a lot of different options that you can see in terms of fabrication and print I don't see any like floral or any really big print I see mostly solids or very very subtle print so that's what I'm shopping for whenever I go into my stash that also probably means I'm going to eliminate this because this feels like a lot um and I'm going to choose between one of the two solids that I have left so that is everything that I have planned for my version plus literally everything I can possibly think of to tell you about this pattern so that you can make one for yourself that you love that looks as it is intended to look if you have any other questions about this pattern leave them in the comment section below otherwise I have linked to the sew together playlist you can always go back and sew a previous month's uh pattern um because there is no deadline you could even post it tomorrow and I would just be just as happy as if you posted it in the month that it was intended but that is going to do it for me today y'all thank you so much for watching I can't wait to see your jolly Emily's bye

Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. We've got live cards everywhere right now in this game, the Black Friday Thunderstruck cards. We've got Road to the Knockouts with games today for Champions League, and of course, we've got the FC Pro live cards, which we now know a couple of which are going to be upgraded here very soon, maybe as soon as today. We're going to talk about that in today's video because there's a lot of question marks around when they're going to upgrade and how EA is going to upgrade these cards. And also, the UCL hero packs dropped yesterday as expected. But what wasn't expected was, first of all, EA to drop them ahead of time. And second, there's actually more UCL heroes than we thought. And not all of them have been packed in these pre-order packs. So we're going to talk about that and the market. Lightning rounds or slowing down, supply is slowing down. Does that mean prices can continue to rise in some of the areas that we've invested, specifically these Thunderstruck cards? All that and more in today's video. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's go off by starting with the new SBCs that were dropped yesterday on this game. We had a little showdown action for a big game that is coming up in the Saudi League, Al-Hilal and Al-Nasser. Of course, Malcolm between these two showdown players is probably the most hyped with his links, links to Neymar, links to Kulabali. Not that Al-Nasser isn't hyped, but also I believe Al-Hilal have a really good chance of winning this game. A Brazilian mid with four star skills, four star weak foot, left footed on the right side with the finesse shot play style and size of pass and some pretty good ball control dribbling play styles as well. They're not that expensive. That's the best part about this. I feel like EA has actually done a pretty good job of showdown SBCs this year, being somewhat affordable for the players that you're getting. 66,000 coins for Malcolm 61K for Otavio. It's an SBC that if you're interested in it, if it fits your team, it's good to do. Maybe for the rest of us though, if it doesn't fit your team, it's just kind of more of a fun one, right? But we love showdowns. We like to get involved. And it's just another type of live cars on this game. There's so many live cars this game right now. It's crazy. But once again, this game is on Friday. So make sure you get the SBC done in due time if you're looking forward to that. Now, the other SBC yesterday that probably made the most wave on the market, at least in terms of hype, was the year in review player pick. And guys, we've had year in review player picks now for the past couple of years. If you've never encountered these SBCs, they are fun. And that is strictly what they are. There's a lot of fun SBCs around right now. And this is a fun SBC that I would stay away from. Because instead of looking for cards, yes, they've been released in previous promos that were in packs. You're looking at cards via SBCs and objectives. And we all know that the quality of cards in SBCs and objectives is usually behind what is in packs. That should be enough explanation for me to tell you that this player pick and this SBC is one that you probably want to skip. Now, if you did it, don't feel too bad about doing it. It's cheap, right? It's really requiring an 87 rated card and then an 84 squad. But it's just when you look at the player pool of who you could get from this, yes, you could get Player of the Month Sun, which is sick. I don't know how Rafael Leal's card is valued at 690,000 coins because that SBC was overpriced to begin with. Rodrigo Alvarez, Odegaard, you know, there are some nice players in here, but look how fast this list drops off. And how many of these cards are like super crazy meta that you would want to be chasing from an SBC like this. I would so much rather save a little bit of fodder and do an 87 plus mixed campaign upgrade or even a base hero player pick. I would want to do instead of this year interview player pick, but it is cheap and it is fun. I just think guys that when they drop these SBCs throughout the year, we'll try them occasionally. But these SBCs are always cheap and the pack weight on them is always bad. I mean, there's people that were packing foundations cards that are still available to claim via objectives. I'm pretty sure like there was people packing MLS, Jordan Morris, and he is still in here that you could get Jordan Morris. Yeah, he's right here, 85 rated card from playing games. Like that's kind of crazy that those players are available in that player pick SBC and very common. But you know, that's what you're paying for that SBC. So that was kind of the SBC content that we had yesterday, the showdown. We also had an icon SBC for John Barnes, which I think was very interesting, but it was a cheap icon SBC at least. So that's nice if that card interests you. It was 180K, which is very cheap compared to some of the other ones we've had. We also had a Black Friday Challenge 4. And in objectives, I believe there was one thing in objectives. The Easter egg was already there. Actually, the biggest thing with objectives yesterday was that people were having issues watching the Twitch stream and watching the stream and getting their packs. I need to go score three finessals with Yura Goliens, by the way. If you didn't notice it in yesterday's YouTube comments, people knew this already. They announced it on the stream yesterday. You have to score three finessals with the mystery nation that is Yura Goliens.  It is worth the time. But a lot of people were having issues getting the XP granted, and there was a bunch of issues with the stream yesterday. So I don't know what EA is going to do about that. I don't think mine completely worked. It partially did. I'm not entirely sure. But that was kind of the content yesterday. We also had a new evolution, but I feel like this EVO is not getting talked about a lot. It is free, which is nice. It is the Marauder Centerback Evolution. And Inigo Martinez is probably one of the best players that you can get out of this. It is a big time pace boost, plus eight pace, pretty sizable, you know, passing, dribbling, defensive, and a physical boost as well. The thing that I find the most interesting about this is, it's a centerback evolution, yet they're giving you play styles that really aren't suited for centerbacks. You get the first touch play style, which isn't bad, right? It could be helpful. And then technical dribbler play style. When am I going to be R01 dribbling with my centerback Inigo Martinez or whoever you put in this EVO during a game? I just don't think there's a very high likelihood of that happening for me, which is why I think this evolution is decent. Everybody likes when you can make a slow centerback pace here, which, right, 45% upvote. It's not a bad EVO. I just think that it could have been a little bit better. There are some nice cards in here, right? Diego Carlos, a lot of people looking at Ben White, his card looks pretty good through this. Again, though, guys, this would be one that I would maybe say, maybe wait. Like, maybe wait and save this evolution for a little bit later down the line if there's another one that drops in the next 20 days that you could double up with a silver player. I think I'm finding more fun with evolutions right now, kind of like I'm finishing off the Alessandro Andrini, where I've only got a couple more days to complete. But I'm having more fun with EVOs like this, where I can take a card that was a silver and do it through multiple EVOs and spend a little bit less time trying to think about four or five different cards at one time through EVOs and just kind of do it all at once. That's personally speaking. But if you really like the EVO grind, that is another one that was dropped yesterday. And I'm sure it is fun, right? The EVO grind is fun. Not going to disagree with that. But that was another EVO yesterday that just kind of was like, hmm, okay, not bad. Now, let's talk about what EA tweeted yesterday in terms of the content for this week. They're still doing the Monday tweets and all that stuff. They tweeted out yesterday icon SBC, which we got, evolutions, which we got. Thunderstruck SBCs. We're still looking forward to two of those. And we had the Saudi League showdown. So I think the set piece moments refresh and then maybe another upgrade SBC or two would be coming out through the rest this week. But like we said in yesterday's video, it really feels like the content for this whole week is already here. It's just SBCs that refresh that we can keep doing like the 87 plus mix campaign refreshing today. You've got the 83 times 10 refreshing every single day. The 85 double is going to be going away today. That's a bit disappointing. After today, the 85 double, I think the 84 double and maybe even the 85 plus player pick all go away. Yeah, which that's a little bit disappointing because those are some pretty solid SBCs. But the 83 10 at least comes back for a couple more days. Thank goodness because that is like the best SBC right now. Also, I'm going to give a quick shout out if you have not noticed, if you're doing any sort of upgrade pack other than the 78 plus player pick, I think you're doing it wrong. Now I'm going to do one right now and it's probably going to be terrible. But these have been fire and it's only because you have to put a couple of players in and I think it's so fire. But you're also getting pretty consistently 83s, 84s, getting a decent amount of walkouts as well. Did I just press the help button to submit this SBC? I definitely have completed the requirements. Thank you, EA Sports. Like watch, I'm going to get an 82 or an 81 here. But a 78 plus player pick, you would think that it's all. Yeah, look at that man. Consistently 83s, which turning in five players for is insane. So I would focus on the 78 plus player picks. I was doing 80 doubles before, but those are consistently pretty good to help you get some of those lower rated fodder cards back into your club. Now speaking of lower rated fodder, let's discuss this a little bit. That's actually the side of the fodder market that is moving the most right now. If you take a look at 83s, 1.8 to 1.9K, these cards have been rising since yesterday at rewards because again, we had that year interview player pick that's coming out. You put an 87 into an SBC for an 84 rated squad. What do you finish it out with? 82s, 83s, maybe one or two 84s, but it's the low tier that keeps moving. 82s or 1,000 coins, right?  Get on bids for 83s because they're still running store pack lightning rounds, not as many lightning rounds, but still a lot of store packs. These cards are still getting supplied. Get on bids for those, maybe be able to pay 1.5K. I know for a fact, people are still getting lazy listed sales on 83s at 2.2 to 2.5K. And for 84s, those are up at these two amount as well, almost 4K a card, probably going to go higher today because again, the supply is lessening, but the demand is still there. 85s are approaching 8K. They're slowly rising. The rest of fodder market is really just chilling, right? 87, 16K, 86 is a 12. They're going up a little bit too, but it's really just kind of sitting there and chilling. I'm still lazy listing my high rated fodder guys. I know it's like, they went in the world. Is this stuff going to go up? Did EA crack the code and finally figure out a way to not make fodder go up? Maybe they did, but still with so many SBCs out, the Mbappe, other SBCs like Icon SBCs that a lot of people were interested in, like Dogleash, and with the supply diminishing, I'm still lazy listing my stuff. I got one lazy list yesterday, this sale on Pop and 29K. I'll take it, right? I'll take that. I'm going to continue the lazy list and also just, it helps the Mbappe SBC and other the Dogleash SBC too, maintain a little bit cheaper price, but those cards are really starting to look like they're not going to rise as much as we thought that they were. And I think that does maybe pertain to overinvestment because a lot of people were invested in it. But if it was overinvested and people are starting to sell off on those cards, when people like stop selling off on those, when that overinvestment kind of gets all sold, and then there's SBCs still there, the cards should continue to rise. I don't know though, I really think it's because of all the crazy packs that EA released during Black Friday. And honestly, it seems like, especially for the middle to low tier fodder, they up to pack weight so much too that you were consistently packing 82s, 83s, 84s, and you had good upgrade packs to keep getting those back through objectives even. It seems like that maybe is the reason to why fodder didn't go up as much because we sure had a ton of great SBCs. And yeah, I mean, really it was the 90s, the 89s, 90s and 91s for the Mbappe that did the best. But I'm not counting as an elegance yet. I still think there are some prices that could rise. I'm just starting to look like it's not going to be as lucrative as we thought it was going to be. Now, let's get into the big news, right? Let's talk about, firstly, the hero pack that dropped yesterday. We talked about it extensively in yesterday's video. We knew that it was going to be coming. I opened mine yesterday when they dropped. They dropped an hour before content, which was like what? What did we say? It was going to be like 11 PM UK time. So it dropped like six hours earlier from what it was supposed to. I got Kanu, not an insane card by any means. I tried a mountain game. I need to try them for a couple more games. But I will say a lot of people were complaining about these cards that EA didn't upgrade them enough for where the power curve is right now. The Playstyle Plus being added to each and every one of these UCL hero cards. If you take a look at Footbin, I'm pretty sure it's every single one of them, besides Dudek actually, which by the way, look at the state of this dynamic image on Dudek. That is just absolutely wild. That's just crazy. But I believe just about every single other card in here for the new UCL heroes got a Playstyle Plus, which is a nice upgrade. I do feel you that some of the cards didn't get as big of upgrades as they should have. But here's one that got a massive upgrade. Wesley Schneider. We talked about him yesterday. Plus 3s, 4s, and 5s across the board. They gave him a skill move upgrade, guys. He has 4 star, 5 star. They also upgraded Tevez. If I can find a Tevez card really quick, where is Tevez? I might just have to search it up. I don't even see Tevez in this page, unless I'm blind and can't see it. But Tevez has, I believe, a skill move upgrade as well. Tevez has got 5 star skills, which is an upgrade over his 88 rated card. There were some nice card upgrades inside of here. Of course, the dynamic images in the whole UCL, like Marvel aspect to it, is pretty sick as well. But the packs yesterday, we're only giving out a certain number of these heroes. Milito, Abeddi Pelé, those were cards that were not packed. Even Dudek, those were cards that were not packable via that pack yesterday. There's like 4 or 5 of these players in here. Ole is one of them as well. Ricken is one of them as well. We saw a lot of Julies. We saw a lot of Risa. Beasley's were packed yesterday. Rosicki, McMahon, and those were very popular through these upgrade packs. But if you actually go and take a look in concepts, you will see that some of these other hero cards, if we go and just search by quality of UCL hero, they're in the concept list here. Like Abeddi Pelé, what a dynamic image for him. But that was not a card that was in any of the pre-order packs yesterday. Same thing with Milito. Milito 3 star, 4 star, not a boost there. Abeddi 4 star, 4 star. You know, you look down the list here. There's the doodak that we saw. So it's interesting why EA didn't put all of them into the pack if there were going to be more than what they originally told us. So that was a bit of a confusing thing. By the way, guys, if you did not get your pack, I think EA gave them all out. There was some rumors that EA messed up and gave a couple extra. Some people got 2 or 3 instead of just 1 because of them dropping in early. But I believe EA paid it out. It seems to be correctly. Again, the time to pre-order the game was the most specific part of this that you had to be, I've done it by, that August 22nd day on or before. So that's the whole UCL hero situation. Again, these cards will not be on the market and impacts to be on the market for another couple of weeks. So watch out for that. Now let's talk about the live cards, right? Another big thing from yesterday. A good way to make coins because there were some crazy price movements. And some cards confirmed now for upgrades. We're talking about the UCL, not UCL. The FC Pro. We have so many live cards in this game right now. It's almost impossible to keep track. We're talking about the FC Pro live cards. And this is the latest tweet from EA Sports FC Pro, giving a nice overview if you didn't watch it in the games yesterday. This is what happened, right? Yilmaz, Umut, I mean, they played pretty well. Actually, that is not the most up-to-date standings. That is not the final standings. The final standings are right here. Here are the final standings, right? Now we can see the upgrades for each of these cards. Malin and Ren and Lodi both eclipsed 10 points, right? So it was Umut and it was Yilmaz, these two pros, that got 10 points out of their four games yesterday. And that means they qualified for three upgrades. So in theory, Daniel Malin and Ren and Lodi should both get an inform upgrade, an alternate position and play style, and another inform upgrade. So a plus two for both of these cards would be in the writing if EA were going to upgrade those cards in that way. Now, this is where the confusion kind of sets in, because there was a post that here, actually on an EA livestream earlier, I tweeted this a couple of weeks ago. You maybe remember us talking about this on stream. When these cards were first being announced, EA said that the first upgrade was going to happen on November 28th slash 29th. And then the second upgrade and third upgrade were going to happen in December. So it sounds like EA was going to kind of time gate the upgrade so that they couldn't, they wouldn't just upgrade the cards all the way super fast, even though since this is a kind of like a round robin style tournament with group play, these guys all played four games yesterday. They played every person in their group. So they had the opportunity to get 10 points or more with the number of games that they were playing, right? And they did. I just don't know how EA is going to upgrade these cards, but it sounds like number one we're going to be getting upgrades potentially today, right? They listed November 28th, 29th, which makes me think that it might be kind of a later in the day upgrade. Today on the 28th, it's going to say 28th slash 29th, where it'll be the 29th in some areas of the world and the 28th in other areas. I don't exactly know. But the question is, will EA do all of this at the same time? Or will they wait another week for the next set of games? And for also just, you know, it seems like an EA thing to do, to time gate the upgrade so that you can't get them all at once. So that Daniel Mullen wouldn't right now in this game go from an 85 rated card to an 87 with an alternate position and new play styles, right? That's where I'm thinking that EA might do that. But we honestly have no idea guys. So we're kind of just keeping it on the cards in the market. We don't have any official confirmation on the live stream. The announcers and people were saying that it was going to be the plus two upgrades. They made it sound like it was going to happen. But again, the graphics that EA posted on their own stream a couple of weeks ago make it seem like these might be time gated. So that's the biggest question right now. Now of course, with these upgrades happening, right? What other upgrades do we have? We've got Kolomwai going up one informed upgrade because his pro got one win, three points. And Manes pro got two wins, six points, or at least above six points. So one informed upgrade in an alternate position plus play style is what he is do. And with those wins, there were some massive price increases. Of course, Daniel Mullen's a card that we talked about weeks ago to invest in. We bought Daniel Mullen's at his absolute lowest, 16,000 coins. I was able to sell all of mine yesterday. Look at this rise from 22K all the way to about 30, I think 32,000 coins was his peak selling price. He went back down to about 24. Right now it's about 27,000 coins as people expect a big upgrade. If you have one or two of those, I think it's okay to keep holding. He's still alive. His pro is in a great position to get further upgrades. And if this card gets a plus two and a new position plus a play style, it's going to be a pretty cracked looking card on a low budget. He needs a scoring play style for sure. I hope they give him like either finesse shot or, I don't know, maybe power shot or something would be super nice. Imagine him getting finesse shot. That'd be crazy. And maybe they give him like alternate position like left wing or something. That would just increase the opportunity for squad building. So this is a card that a lot of people are hyped about right now because of the potential upgrade. Other cards like Kolo Mane and Mane was probably the craziest one. Mane's pro went off yesterday. And since this is such a rare card, people didn't really expect it to go up as much as it did. His card actually went. You guys maybe remember, I talked about buying a Mane card for 458K like right around here. I sold Mane after the first game because his pro won the game. And I was like, okay, Mane's going up in price. I sold him for 540K. Mane actually went all the way up to 1 million coins and he was selling there. Not for very long. He got undercut like crazy after that, but he was 1 million coins, which is way, way, way overpriced. But it's just crazy how some of his cards have massive fluctuations. Now he came back down to 460K and now he's back up to 530K. But Mane is due an upgrade. And so is Renan Lodi, the SBC. He's due three different upgrades. So again, that's the biggest question. Is EA going to upgrade these cards number one today? And how many upgrades are they going to do at one time? Now I will say with all the hype and people seeing cards like Mane going from 500K to like, you know, a million coins, it got people in the mode and in the mood to invest. And some of the other live cards that didn't have games like Karamo was a very, very popular investor right now for good reason, right? He's a cracked looking card, one of the most popular cards. Got as a good pro linked to his item as well. He's 59,000 coins. If you take a look at his price on the market yesterday, I think people were kind of like emotionally investing in these cards because they were like, okay, the other cards are going crazy. I want to get involved in these before they go even higher. So he went all the way to 58,000 coins during the heat of all these madness with the FC Pro live cards. But guys, there are not any more games until next Monday. It's basically every Monday for the next, what is it? Like month or month and a half apart from kind of around the Christmas holiday time in New Year's. Every single Monday, we're going to have a new group of playing. So group A played yesterday. It's going to be group B that will play this next Monday and we'll probably be looking at investing in some of the group B cards. Yes, they could go up between now and then, but I'm probably going to hold off to wait to invest in some of those group B cards until a little bit later in this week just to see where the market's at, how things shake up, and even how the cards from group A with their upgrades react because if they only do time gate it and give one upgrade for this first time around, that would be a little bit less hype, I think, for me for the cards that are getting upgrades to come. So definitely watch out for that, but other people have started investing in those and their prices couldn't continue to go up because they are live cards and a lot of them are pretty cheap. And affordable and pretty good cards at those prices that they are. So watch out for next Monday with more cards coming in there. Now, let's talk about the market. We already mentioned a little bit too that the market and the supply seems to be slowing down. As I go into the store right now, there are no lightning round packs. There's not even a section on the side for the limited time or whatever they call them, packs here in the store. Yes, there are still promo packs and a lot of them and a lot of them are refreshing still and probably going to come back today. Like they keep the 450, the 500K pack is going to go away today but it's probably going to come back. They keep refreshing the 10 and the 30 coin pack which I just opened a little bit ago. But it seems like the supply is finally starting to slow down guys, which is great for a lot of us that are looking at investing in maybe some of these Thunderstruck cards as I take a look at some of the prices over here on Footbin. It just seems to be pretty stagnant, right? We thought Gabriel Jesus, we thought Emery Chan, we're going to have some rises yesterday and they did, they did a little bit but it wasn't the kind of rise that we thought it was going to be, right? Gabriel Jesus was like 160, he went back up to 180, then went all the way back down to 160 again. So 170 to 180, down to 160 and now he's kind of back up to 170. Like are we going to start and see these cards slowly rise through the week now or are we going to just be at the mercy of EA running lightning rounds and then maybe putting something in the store? Like guys, these cards are in packs until Friday so I don't think we're completely done with lightning rounds. I just think they're going to slow down and there will be less of them. So that's what I feel like we're at the mercy of EA right now. It's going to be, well, does EA release lightning rounds on a Wednesday with the brand new team of the week coming out because sometimes they do that or are they not? Are they going to just keep it with the regular store packs that we have and we're going to continue to see the supply be less and less and less and it'll slowly like rise into the week? Like that's the biggest question at the moment with a lot of these cards but I still believe in a lot of these cards too because we shouldn't be more than a couple days away from these cards also getting upgraded. There's so many cards with live upgrading aspects to them right now. It's almost like incredibly difficult to keep track of but these cards are hype man. People want to use them. People want to try them and put them in the teams so that's why I'm interested in these Thunderstruck. I'm still invested in a couple of Emery Chan's especially the cards that are rare like the Jill Gomez is one that a lot of people want to invest in. You know, I think about, you know, Quadrata was one that a lot of people were looking at Jolenton. Claustromen, by the way, if you haven't seen Claustromen's minimum price got updated. He was 14,000 coins and he was not selling. His price got updated and he went all the way down to I think like 13k. If you can pick up a Claustromen for 13k especially with a chemistry style especially like 12k, I love 12k. 12k on bid is like literally zero risk. Especially if you can get him with like an anchor or a shadow or something like that. I just feel like this is going to be a card that can rise up four to five thousand coins, you know, over the next couple of weeks. Not that Leipzig are an insane club but they've got a pretty easy next game in the Bundesliga against Heidenheim. So potential for a win, potential for an upgrade.  So that's a card that I like now that I got a price with you update kind of like an informed investment, right? Buy one stock on your transfer list. It's bound to go up a couple thousand coins over time and that's going to be a huge profit investment there but it should be something that makes you a few coins. Now also today, adding another set of live cards to the list. Guys, we got Champions League today which means we've got road to the knockout cards that could potentially getting upgrades as well. We talked about this in the videos over the weekend. These were some of my favorite cards to invest in and some of them are kind of look like Lewandowski right now being five hundred and fifteen thousand coins is a card that I'm actually interested in because today they play Porto in the Champions League and if Barca are able to win this game, they will be on 12 points. Porto will be on nine and that would technically I believe lock them in to the next round of play because if unless Shocktar win then Shocktar be on nine points and that'd be a little bit interesting based off a goal difference. So maybe for Barca, it's not the best example but you think about some other teams today that are playing for upgrades. Athletico Madrid, if they win today, again, their group is a little bit close as well but you're just moving towards that next upgrade and of course with wins, there comes hype and that means player prices rise because the upgrades get closer. So like this Lewandowski, if I can get him for less than five hundred and ten K, I'm going to go for it because he goes between like five ten and five forty every day in this game anyway. So I'm keeping an eye on a card like that and then watch the cards that are playing games on Wednesday, right? You've got Arsenal very close to an upgrade. Another upgrade, Bruno Fernandez has not got any upgrades yet. Again, we talked about him yesterday. He's probably one of the most popular cards people are investing in right now. If you see a hundred and twenty K for this, I think it's a great price. Yes, he was 115 over the weekend. Yes, he was in packs but I still think there's potential for him to rise there just because he hasn't got any upgrades yet and he could, he could go from a 90 to a 92 really quick. If the upgrades kick in, if you not a do win this week and all things go well in their group. So watch out for those live cards because we have more RTTK. We have more Champions League action today. Watch the ones that are out of packs as well. Those are the ones like Lewandowski that have a higher price but they seem to have pretty good movements because they're still live. And of course, if there's a card that's already got two upgrades like Holland, you probably don't want to mess with a card like that because there's no more upgrade potential there, no more reason for it to rise. Now, other SBCs and content that we're still expecting this week, we've mentioned it before, but Kang and Lee and also Kuti Romero, we have two Thunderstruck SBCs that are left and I guess technically according to the EA tweet that was dropped yesterday, that's kind of all the content that we have left to expect for this week. So again, guys, it's going to be a constant grind on the menus this week to get the upgrade packs to try to pack something sick from the current promo teams and the re-releases of cards that are out right now because all these cards go out of packs on Friday, I believe. And yeah, that's the content this week. Honestly, get the objectives done, get the gameplay done. Yeah, three days, 13 hours, I believe for all the cards that are in packs besides the team of the week, which is going to refresh on Wednesdays always. So I'm not expecting too crazy much in terms of content besides the refreshes for the rest of the week. I would say, guys, as well, just keep re-listing your fodder. Still, that's where everybody's buying cards right now. The lower tier. You saw the prices move yesterday. It's not, it's grindy, but it is a really good place to trade. Also, Informs. Informs last night were an insane buy. I'm wishing that I would have gone 400K in instead of 200K in on Anthony Robinson, Alaba and Luis Diaz. Instead of just buying a few, kind of wish I would have went all in. Those cards went from 32K to 39 for the 86-rated Informs. I believe all Informs went from 30K last night. We looked at them on the video. They were 30K. And they went all the way up to about 37. I think right now Informs are about 33K or 34K. So, you know, the Informs demand is probably going to slowly trickle off as we head towards the end of this week and a lot of the SBCs expire. So this is probably towards the end of the Informs investment and super-inflated prices part of this game. The higher-rated ones could stay higher longer because of Mbappe. But just be careful with those. But those are also really good cards to trade with and to flip in. But just continue to lazy list that fodder, guys. And also, since there are a lot of coins on the market after Black Friday, get on the bids. Get on the fluctuation trades for icons, for heroes, for cards like this Antfufati, who right now is like close to 300K on bid, but he goes to like 350 multiple times per day. Watch the fluctuations because it is a pretty healthy market to trade in and out of right now. Last thing, we're going to cover this video. Promo leaked. Card design leaked for the radioactive promo that is coming next. This might be one of the worst card designs I've ever seen. I don't know. Like that is just different. And I don't like it. But that is the next official card design. But that's an official card design tweeted out by multiple people. Maybe that's a promo coming this Friday. We'll have to see. It has a shapeshifter type of vibe. Radioactive just seems like somebody like morphing into a position that they don't normally play or something. I don't know. I'm making stuff up. Just going off the top of the dome of what I think. But that is a crazy card design and the messy is a prediction. I mean the stats, it's more for the card design, right? Radioactive is the next promo in this game. So that's the news. Everything going on right now.

Peace out.


My mom has been giving me her art supplies over the years as she's been downsizing. She's now 94 and as she entered hospice, she gave me her last set of pastel pencils. It's just a few of them, but I wanted to use them especially because she wanted to know about the technique I was explaining to her about using isopropyl alcohol with pastel. She had never done that, so I made a video showing her how I did it and you get to see it too. Click on the link at the bottom of this video and you can watch it.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we shall discuss if one figure is obtained from the other figure using translation, reflection, rotation and dilation, then the obtained figure is similar to the given figure. Now we know that two figures are similar if the corresponding sides are proportional and they have same corresponding angles that is here AB upon DE is equal to BC upon EF is equal to AC upon DF. So, in similar triangles the corresponding sides are proportional and the corresponding angles are equal that is angle A is equal to angle D, angle B is equal to angle E and angle C is equal to angle F. And in congruent figures corresponding sides are equal and the corresponding angles are also equal. So, here these two triangles are congruent it means they have same shape and size whereas these three triangles are similar. So, they have same shape but their size can vary as here the corresponding sides are proportional. You must note one thing that shape of two figures can be known with the help of corresponding angles and size can be known by the length of corresponding sides of two figures. So, if corresponding angles of two figures are equal then they have same shape. Now let us discuss an example. Now in this example we have to check that whether the figure ABCD is similar to the figure PQRS. For this we will measure the corresponding angles. Now here angle A and P, angle D and S then angle R and angle C then angle Q and angle B are corresponding angles. So, we will measure these angles and then we will find the ratio of the corresponding sides. Now on this graph paper one square block represents one unit. So, we can measure the sides of two figures. Now in figure ABCD length of each side is four units and in figure PQRS is of two units. Also in both figures all sides are straight lines horizontal or vertical forming 90 degree angle with each other. So, all angles are of 90 degrees. Now we know that if all angles and all sides of a quadrilateral are equal then that quadrilateral is a square. So, here the quadrilateral ABCD and the quadrilateral PQRS are squares. Now here the corresponding angles are equal. Now let us find the ratio of corresponding sides. So, here ratio of each corresponding side is equal to two it means corresponding sides of the two figures are proportional. So, in these two figures corresponding angles are equal corresponding sides are proportional the two figures are similar. Now in our earlier sessions we have learnt about various forms of transformations and those transformations were dilation, translation, reflection and rotation. Now dilation enlarges or contracts a figure from a fixed centre by a common scale factor. Now here the triangle ABC is enlarged to triangle DEF with O as the centre. Now here as the figure is enlarged so there is a change in size but shape remains same so a dilated figure is similar to its preimage that is here the figure ABC is similar to the figure DEF. Now translation moves the object so that every point on the object moves in the same direction as well as same distance. Now here the triangle DEF is translated to the triangle PER and here the point D has moved to point P, point E has moved to point Q and point F has moved to point R. So in translation the figure slides it means that in translation the shape and size of both the figures remain same. Now as shape and size of both the triangles remain same it means corresponding angles and corresponding sides of both the triangles are equal. So here triangle DEF is congruent to triangle PQR. Now in reflection an object is flipped across a line of reflection so shape and size remain same and in rotation an object is only rotated by some angle so here also the shape and size of figure remains same. So we obtain similar figures if we combine dilation with translation or reflection or rotation. Thus a figure in a plane is similar to another figure if second can be obtained from the first by sequence of translations, rotations, reflections and dilations because when the size will vary that shape remains same. We can also dilate, translate, rotate and reflect together in the sequence as asked. Now let us discuss an example. In this example we have to describe the sequence of transformations that result in transformation of figure A to figure A dash. Now here figure A is the triangle with vertices P, Q and R and coordinates of P are minus 2 minus 2, coordinates of Q are 0, 0 and coordinates of R are 2 minus 2. Now here the figure A dash is again a triangle with vertices P double dash, Q double dash, R double dash and coordinates of P double dash are 3 3, coordinates of Q double dash are 4 2 and coordinates of R double dash are 5 3. Now here we can observe that figure A dash is small in size and its position is changed also it seems to be a reflection in x axis. So first figure that is the figure A is dilated then it is translated and then it is reflected in x axis to obtain the figure A dash. So figure will be contracted if scale factor is less than 1. Now first of all let us find the scale factor. Now we know that scale factor is equal to drawing dimension upon actual dimension. Now here the scale factor will be equal to dimension of figure A dash upon dimension of figure A. Now let us take the length of P double dash R double dash which is 2 units upon length of P R which is 4 units. So scale factor is equal to 1 upon 2 which is less than 1 so figure A will be contracted.  Now see the figure A dash here Q double dash is 2 units above x axis and P double dash and R double dash are 3 units above x axis. So the reflection of Q double dash will be 2 units below the x axis. So this is the point which is the reflection of the point Q double dash and let us name it as Q dash. Similarly this point is reflection of P double dash and this point is reflection of R double dash. Now on joining these points we get a triangle P dash Q dash R dash which is the reflection of the triangle P double dash Q double dash R double dash along the x axis and these are the coordinates of P dash Q dash R dash. Now if we translate the triangle Q X Y 4 units to the right and 2 units down then we get the triangle P dash Q dash R dash. So for translation we will add 4 to the x coordinates and we will subtract 2 from the y coordinates of the vertices of triangle Q X Y and then after translation we obtain a new triangle P dash Q dash R dash and then if we reflect this triangle P dash Q dash R dash along the x axis then we get the figure A dash. So first of all the triangle P Q R is dilated to get a new triangle Q X Y and then this triangle is translated to get a new triangle P dash Q dash R dash and finally after reflection along the x axis we get the triangle P double dash Q double dash R double dash which is the figure A dash. So in this session we have learned about similarity of figures using transformation and this completes our session. Hope you all have enjoyed the session.
