Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It's a Friday on FIFA 21, and that means it's promo Friday. Foot 21, what if, team number two. I wanna talk about why I think we're gonna see team number two today. Even though we don't see a loading screen right now that is like hinting at anything, just based off of what EA has said and what they have posted on their webpage about the what if promo makes me think. And of course, EA loves to do the two week promos anyway, so I think we're getting team two today. There's also some interesting things going on on the market with transfer cards actually being impacts on the market and in-game. So we'll talk about that as well. What that could potentially mean for today. Maybe look at a couple of cards that could be involved in the team today. And of course, I wanna just talk about what's going on with SBC F out or two and how we can expect the what if cards to be on acting on the market today. Because of course last week with the what if cards from team one coming on to the game, there was a lot of supply right away and I don't think that's gonna be the case again today. But of course, again, why we are talking about foot 21, what if team number two is because again, every time that EA say like a team one, usually there's a team two that follows and this is what we're seeing here, it says team one. And of course, that makes us think there is gonna be a team two as well. And we know how much EA love two week promos. So I am expecting a second week. Now also the fact that they had to release, right? A release date spreadsheet, release dates for each player item can be found here which takes you to this page. The fact that we have a spreadsheet tracking all of the release dates for these what if cards. I mean, if it was only one week with one team and some SBCs and objectives, then you'd be like, okay, probably we don't need a spreadsheet. But the fact that we have a spreadsheet tells me that I think we are getting a team two today. So it's technically not confirmed but I feel like it almost has to be confirmed. That we will be seeing a team number two today for the what if cards. So again, just like last week with a new team coming into packs, there's some other stuff that will be happening on the market today as well. And I'll talk about that. But I wanna talk about the new what if cards that will be coming out first because again, last week, we saw these cards crazily crazily supplied in the first 30 minutes of them entering to the market, right? You remember Chris Smalling who is now 570,000 coins was down at like 400K flat for the first 30 minutes, rose up to 500K, then rose to 700K and was extinct by at 800,000 coins at the time the weekend ended, right? You had guys like Sancho who were down at like 1.25 or 1.19, I remember Sancho being and he rose all the way up to like 1.4. So you saw crazy, crazy, crazy supply in that first hour or so of these what if cards last week. And that was because people had saved up packs. Now this week, there's probably a few saved up packs but not as many, right? Because when people, when there's no promo out in this game that's when people are apt to saving packs. And of course through this entire week people have been grinding upgrade picks. They've been grinding the league SBCs basically grinding everything to get packs to try to open and pack these cards that are in packs right now. So the what ifs from team two I don't feel like are gonna be supplied right away. We had the same scenario happen during future stars. Team one was supplied a ton right away on the market. Team two wasn't supplied as much because there weren't as many saved up packs that were spam opened right away. Now of course there will be lightning rounds today. There will be some saved up packs opened but I don't think you'll see the huge drop and then rebound up into the nighttime as drastic as you saw it last week with what if team number one cards. But you probably still will see them drop down, get low in that second or third hour then rebound a little bit into the fourth. Maybe the third, you know like what would I say what would that be like 8 30 PM UK time or 3 30 PM here in the US Eastern time you might start to see them rebound a little bit which is kind of a normal promo fluctuation on a Friday. The cards get packed, they go down, they go down they hit a point where they kind of bounce back up because they start to get rare and people are buying them to try out in the weekend league. So you might see some of that. And then of course then dipping down lower overnight Friday night and rising into Saturday where they of course people are trying them out in the weekend league. So that's kind of the fluctuations that I would expect today with the new what if cards that are coming out. Speaking of that guys, SBCs and other content we can see today. I think some of the what ifs are expiring. Of course we do have the brand new Prime moments icon SBCs but the 81 plus player pick is expiring tomorrow. It expires in 15 hours and the play of the month El Nezri expires in 14 hours. So if you want to get some player picks stacked up for team two kind of your last chance to do that. Ribburi goes away tomorrow and the Wendell goes away tomorrow as well. We already had, Grafinias still has three days left so that one's still out. I would expect another, they've been really actually spamming us with these what if players. Like we have on the spreadsheet we have got a full team of 11, three SBCs from this past week and two objectives. So I would expect another SBC player today for a what if card and then probably another objective card as well as Caputo is going away today at 6 p.m. UK. Now I will say if you want to try to finish this off really fast they're already on three goals after their first game. So this card is looking really, really likely to get upgraded to an 89 rated card which will either be good fodder or a usable card for a Serie A team. So definitely keep an eye on that. It's kind of a normal promo Friday in the sense of we're gonna see new promo cards out. People are gonna be opening lightning rounds and packs and stuff like that. There probably will be a little bit of panic selling but I wouldn't expect massive panic selling unless we get some sort of information on like something new that would be coming today. And the only thing that we have right now at the time of me recording this that is like quote unquote new I guess you could say are some of these brand new transfer cards that are added to the game. Edison, Cavani, Gutsa. We look at the flip in popular page there's a ton of them that are out right now. Now this is Cavani's Manchester United card so maybe there's some hinting today. I don't think this would mean anything but since they are releasing these transferred cards out into the game I guess there's a little bit of just thought that we might get if they are gonna do winter upgrades or if they are gonna do some sort of transferred cards this could be the time that they do it. Of course Cavani being on the market you see a lot of these guys right Croesma only has four star skills. You've got Loic Remi, you've got Pedro, Gutsa, Rafinha right there. There's a couple other cards that I saw in here that were pretty interesting. Joe Hart and Nathan Klein, Kaleishi. The, I forget what this guy's name is but the center back for West Brom. This guy Ivanovich is his name. He is a huge savior to the league SPC grinders for the West Brom SPC. Now I'm thinking right now he's like popping up on the market for like 10,000 coins but it is interesting to see like I wonder about Balotelli as well because he is in the game now. Is he on the market yet? He is not. So it's very interesting to see some of these brand new transferred cards. Maybe we see one or two of them. Maybe like a Cavani or maybe Croesma or Gutsa. I'm not sure if they would do this but they could throw one of them into the promo today since in what if team number one we did have a couple transferred players like Odegaard and Alejandro Gomez possibly they include some of these brand new transferred cards that they just added into the game today into the what if team two. A Cavani would be pretty dope. Again, maybe a Croesma who knows but that could be something we see today as well. They could include some of those players. Now other stuff that's going on today that we need to be mindful of and need to be careful of is the Lionel Messi potential player of the month SPC. Now of course I did make a video yesterday about player of the month Messi coming. It is not 100% guaranteed that Messi wins this vote or wins this award but in my opinion with the stats that Messi had and with the LaLiga player of the month vote, the fan vote being a pretty high percentage I think Messi is gonna win. So I do think we'll see a Messi SPC today and as I said yesterday that should be dropping at the content drop today as well so keep an eye out for that. Link investments and just panic selling on Messi's special cards like that team of the group stage because that could be a potential place to pick up on some panic and then if Messi's SPC is very overpriced when it comes out there will be some potential to obviously get involved with some of that and I'm gonna bid on this JROT right here because that is pretty cheap. I also wanna look at this Yashin but I actually have been trading some prime icon moments. I flipped a Figo. I bought this at 1.9 lows. I made about 45,000 coins on this trade. So that was a GG's and honestly the other places to trade right now in this market are just with SPC fodder and we'll talk about that in just a second how I think that's gonna be impacted today. Am I gonna win this? Okay, I thought I was gonna win this. I don't really wanna go too much higher than like 1.5 and it looks like there's multiple people here so I'll let that sit GG's, they can have it but more icon moments should be dropping today. So cards that haven't got their icon moments versions yet right the one that comes to mind would be got into a 95 is not on the game just yet. I know because somebody was talking about this today we don't have a litman in moments yet and there's plenty of moments out there that haven't actually got their moments card on the market like Raul. That's a card I think we're waiting on. Kaka moments is not out in the game yet so we should see the rest of the prime icon moments released today on Friday as well. That'd be one thing that we are expecting with the promo drop today. So we talked about objectives, SPCs, the market and SPC fodder is what I wanna talk about next and this graph right here just goes to show what everybody is hyped up about right now in FIFA. It's all about that mid prime pack still crafting that doing that SPC or the 84 plus player pick that came out today as well. It's all about SPC fodder. You take a look at this, index 86, drop down really low after rewards with pack supply went up into 6 p.m. UK and then dropped back down with marquee matchup supply SPC fodder is probably gonna maintain and still be creeping upwards in price. Maybe chill out a little bit today before the content drop. People will know that obviously the lightning rounds and supply is coming. So I'm fully expecting SPC fodder to drop today. I think that literally all SPC players on the market will drop unless we get some sort of repeatable SPC which they usually don't drop on day one of the promo. 83s are kinda looking low at the moment. 84s aren't too crazy high compared to the rest of this stuff that is inflated because of that icon pick. But I do think you will see this stuff go down in price with pack supply being put out today. Now the only thing that would make it go crazy high is if EA released some sort of crazy, like one of those messy, like people have been saying messy flashback SPC or another flashback SPC kind of like CR7 that is really good value. That could be one of the only things that I would really think that would move this up today because usually day one of the promo, EA wants you focused on the new cards, opening packs and trying out new players. That's what they want you focused on. So I would expect since the fodder is up so much, we saw what happened yesterday with a little bit of pack supply with even more pack supply coming today. I do think that's gonna drop but it will make for an interesting opportunity later in the evening after all the packs are opened and if people have coins from opening FIFA points and saved packs, they might go out and buy up fodder because we also got two more, three more icon SPCs which if you take a look at these guys' prices compared to what their moments cards were worth on the market, they're not bad value. Nedved, Clivert and Carlos Puyol are all actually pretty decently priced on the market considering how high SPC fodder is right now. These guys literally can only go down. Once this mid or prime pack goes away, I think it's fodder's gonna sell off a little bit more. This moment's Nedved was 1.6 mil on the market before today, he's actually still 1.4 mil. This is a pretty cracked card, right? Fits the meta decently well and he's one million coins to do the SPC. This might be an 850 to 900,000 coin SPC in a week or so and there's nine weeks to complete these three SPCs. Carlos Puyol is, how much is he? He's not very expensive either, 520K for that card. His card on the market was like 800K. This is probably gonna be like 400,000 coins when the fodder drops. So if you wanna do either of these SPCs, I would hold off a little bit or if you're gonna start crafting them, go ahead but don't spend too much on fodder as it's very, very inflated right now. Let that stuff drop off because it's, again, it can't maintain this high of a price for that long of a time. It's gonna have to come off a little bit and fall off unless EA keep releasing like prime icon, repeatable pick SPCs, which they've already dropped the market enough, I don't see them putting out another one of those. So definitely keep an eye on an SPC fodder today because that's still a very hyped up point and just part of the game where a lot of people are interested because they're wanting to do and complete even more SPC. So Player of the Month Messi, of course, you talked about, that was a decent deal on that Geron. He's probably gonna be able to sell that at like one six if he can get a sale overnight. Anyways, the icon moments that will be coming out today and more pack supply for icon moments, since this market is just so, I'll say it, it's pretty dead, right? This market is really dead right now. If you have icon moments players, icons in general, a lot of those cards are down crazy amounts and I honestly think, especially for moments, they're gonna keep going down today. We are gonna get some more coins put back on the market as people open packs, so we will have a little bit more maybe of life on the market today with people having opened FIFA points packs, opened up saved up packs. So there might be a few more coins to go around, but I honestly feel like you're gonna wanna maintain and stick to the hype areas of right now, which are gonna be the brand new what if cards. If we take a look at what if team one, if there's nothing crazy that comes out today content-wise, you know, you might see these guys who have started to rebound back a little bit. Smalling was 550, he's now 574. Odegard was 480, he's now 506. Sancho was 12 flat, he's now 128. So you might see these guys start to bounce back if there's not any crazy content because people know these are live items and they're getting closer towards their upgrades. Now one thing I will say is last week on Friday, we actually had live games that happened on the day of the release for brand new cards unless there is a player from Shulka Mines, Valencia Villarreal, or any of these other teams that have lead games today, like Sporting, I really don't expect any of the what if players that have games on Friday. Now of course last week, Yuriy Barchiche had a game the same day of, and that was kinda crazy. I think Leymelou, there was three games. Jovic, Leymelou, and Yuriy Barchiche I think all had games last Friday. That's not gonna be the case this week with whoever comes out as a part of team two. So honestly, the big thing today for me is that player the most messy, how much he's gonna be worth. If you see panic selling on the rest of the market, just using this Usman Dembele freeze as an example, focus on rare cards that fluctuate around a lot. This Usman Dembele thought was supposed to be or supposedly in team of the week, he's actually back down. 1.29 is pretty low for him. There's just not a lot of buying power on this market though right now. And I do think that if you see panic selling in the morning on some of these rare out of pack special cards, even some of the cards that are cheaper in price that are still pretty rare, I think about when I think of rare cards, I think of this like Theo Hernandez, the left back team of the group stage or maybe some of his in forms. Now of course, if we were to get some sort of like Ferlan Mendy today that might hurt the headliner, Theo Hernandez. But like this card seems to be pretty rare and fluctuate around a decent amount. So if you see panic selling on some of these rare cards like freeze, record breaker, Jamie Vardy is one who has dropped off a decent amount with the market kind of crashing. But if you see these guys drop off big amounts today, definitely look to get involved. I mean, Vardy is 5'10. So that's interesting. I like to watch rule breaker Kane all the time. Some of the new, the foot future stars, some of these cards are still pretty hyped, right? People are still trying out some of these players and they've dropped down pretty big amounts, right? Bastoni 224 is still one of the only center backs in the Serie A that gets links and is a pretty good card. Sokka's 1.93, Fati is 2.3. And if you look at team number one, you've got Burgwein who was down a seven RK flat earlier. Reina was down to like 865. Dest is up a bit, of course, with the rumors of the links to the Messi Player of the Month. Just watch these cards that are rare out of packs that people are still, even team of the years, right? Lewandowski dropped when his new team of the week came out. Trent Alexander-Arnold, if we get a write back today, keep an eye on him. Neuer is up a lot right now in price because of linking cards together in this game. So keep an eye on some of this stuff because if you see panic selling today on rare cards, if it's not that hyped up a day, I think you will see some stuff bounce back a little bit because there will be some coins on the market. I'm gonna be focusing a lot on the brand new promo cards because you'll still be able to fluctuation trade those. You'll still be able to make coins off of those. And of course, icons as well, because icons are always great to trade. And remember the ones that are out of packs, of course, right, you have the babies and the mid cards that are all out of packs. So that means less supply and more fluctuation with some of those cards as well. So I guess the last thing that we have to maybe talk about is just theoretical potential for those winter upgrades. If they did do them today, I think if they don't happen today, then it's basically done. It's basically done. If we don't have winter upgrades today, which I don't even know how you can call them winter upgrades anymore, which that sun is a pretty big undercuts. This guy's now on two wins because spurs have won two in a row. But like sun's informed card was very inflated for the past couple of weeks. It's like people didn't wanna sell this card because of the potential upgrade that it had coming to it. And it has dropped off considerably just with the market crash in general. But I think today is our last shot for winter upgrades if they're gonna happen. I feel like they kinda have to happen today. And the fact that we have some of these guys starting to show up on the market. I don't think Ivanovich is actually gonna show up. He's probably gonna be extinct. They're gonna be showing up at 5K. Are people buying these? Yeah, people are buying these to do the SBCs, which is crazy. But the fact that we have these brand new cards showing up onto the game makes me think that they're my sort of transfer content today. I'm not sure. It's gonna be interesting to watch out for. Of course, watch this week's team of the week. It's gonna get supplied during lighting rounds. And just again, watch for a little bit of panic selling in general. Since this market is very dead right now, I do think that you will see a bit of panic this morning as we head into the content drop. And that could potentially make on some very rare cards some nice fluctuations because people sell stuff, look to see what the new content is, what the new cards are that are coming out, and then potentially go and buy back cards that they had in their team that they had once sold. So of course, we had that week in the demand on the nighttime as well. But very interesting day today on FIFA. What if team number two, more cards and packs, more SBCs, more objectives, and the rest of the icon moments hopefully in the game. And we'll see if EA throws any curveballs at us with like winter upgrades, winter refresh, skill move, week foot upgrades. There's been some squad updates today. I don't know if that has anything to do with that. So we'll have to see what comes today on Friday, but it should be a good day. We'll be live down below, twitch.tv backslash, the foot account, that link is down there. We'll be live streaming the content drop as it happens, talking about it all, and of course, helping you guys through it. But if you enjoyed this video today, smash the thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions, and subscribe if you are new. It's been Nate, The Foot Accountant, and I will catch you guys later. Peace out.


So the mathematical beauty of i, the square root of minus one, is all very well. But what used to us is a number that cannot be calculated. Well, in the Fourier transform, i serves a very important purpose indeed. It keeps things separate, which is exactly what we want from an algorithm that splits a signal apart into its constituent sine waves. How does i keep things separate? And how does this help us? Back in the lecture on phase, we saw how any phase shifted sine wave can be made by adding together a non-phase shifted cosine wave and a non-phase shifted sine wave at the same frequency but different amplitudes. If I was to write this down in a mathematical equation, then my phase shifted sine wave, which I'm going to call S of theta, would be S of theta equals A times cosine of theta plus B times sine of theta, where A is the amplitude of the cosine wave and B is the amplitude of the sine wave and theta is the angle. In the lecture on Euler's identity, we saw how Euler's number E is related to the sine and cosine functions. But we have to multiply the sine part of the equation by the imaginary number i to make the relationship work. We're now going to use this relationship to create an entirely new type of number called a complex number. The numbers we have always known up to now, one, two, three and so on, are made up of only one dimension. We could represent them simply the distance along a single line. Even minus numbers are points on the same line. They're just points that go off in the opposite direction. Let's call these simple numbers for now. Complex numbers, on the other hand, are made up of two dimensions, a real dimension and an imaginary dimension. The real dimension is any simple number and the imaginary dimension is any simple number multiplied by i. So an example of a complex number is three plus four i. Here is where i keeps things separate for us. If this was any normal sort of number, three plus four, for example, we could simply add the two numbers together to get seven. Like walking a distance of three units in on-going line and then continuing to walk another four. But this is not what we want to do. We want to keep the three and the four mathematically separate. We want to make sure that we can't simply add them together. This is what i does for us. It forces the imaginary part of our complex number into its own independent dimension. It changes our simple one-dimensional world into a more complex world with two dimensions rather like a two-dimensional graph. The three is in the real dimension which we plot along the x-axis and the four i is in the imaginary dimension which we plot along the y-axis. So a complex number can be represented as a coordinate described by the distances along two perpendicular axes. The axes must be perpendicular as only perpendicular lines are truly independent of each other. That is to say the real number can occupy any value on the x-axis and the imaginary number can occupy any value along the y-axis. I'm now walking around in a two-dimensional world where any location in that world can be described by a complex number. We call this world the complex plane. We're now going to combine all the different principles that we have learned into one set of equations. Here's how we're going to do it. We already have the first equation, 3 plus 4i. This is known as the Cartesian form of a complex number as it describes the Cartesian coordinate of my complex number point, 3 by 4. I'm going to use this as the apex of a right-angled triangle similar to those we drew in the phase lecture. Remember, I could arrive at the same point of my triangle in one of two ways, either by walking along the base of the triangle a distance of three units and then walking up inside a distance of four units. Alternatively, I could set off at an angle of about 53.1 degrees which I calculated using the inverse tangent rule and walking five units along its hypotenuse which I calculated using Pythagoras' theorem. Now, the base of the triangle represents the amplitude A of the cosine wave and the height of the triangle represents the amplitude B of the sine wave. This produces a sine wave which I called S of theta with an amplitude of 5 represented by the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle and a phase shift of 53.1 degrees represented by the angle of the triangle here. However, another way of calculating the length of the base of the triangle is to take the cosine of the angle and multiply it by the length of the hypotenuse. 5 times the cosine of 53.1 degrees equals 3. Another way of calculating the length of the height of the triangle is to take the sine of the angle and multiply it by the length of the hypotenuse. 5 times the sine of 53.1 degrees equals 4. So I could describe my complex number point in another way by writing it in its polar form. 5 times the cosine of 53.1 degrees plus 5 times I times the sine of 53.1 degrees. It's called polar form as in geometric terms a pole is a point and a polar is a line leading to that point. We can describe this line by its length and by its angle. So the polar form of a complex number rather than giving us the coordinates of a point in the complex plane like the Cartesian form does is the angle and distance of that point from the origin. But Euler gave us Euler's formula which links Euler's number E to the polar form of a complex number. So we can write our number in yet another form in exponential form using Euler's number. 5 times E to the I times 53.1 degrees. We can therefore describe the amplitudes of the cosine and sine components A and B of our phase shifted sine wave S of theta in three different ways. We could describe them in Cartesian form using the distance we walked along the X and Y axes to describe the coordinates of the apex of the triangle in the complex plane 3 plus 4I which are the amplitudes A of the cosine wave and B of the sine wave respectively. We could describe them in polar form using the length of the hypotenuse and the angle of the triangle which corresponds to the amplitude and phase shift of S of theta. And finally Euler showed us that by using his formula we can describe them in exponential form as 5 times E to the I times 53.1 degrees. So 5 times E to the I times 53.1 degrees is equal to 5 times the cosine of 53.1 degrees plus 5 times I times the sine of 53.1 degrees which is equal to 3 plus 4I. What use is this set of equations to us? Well firstly using the Cartesian form we can easily see the amplitudes of the cosine and sine waves that make up our phase shifted wave. Using the exponential form we can easily see the amplitude and the phase shift of the resultant wave. And using the polar form we can convert from the exponential form to the Cartesian form. So complex numbers gives us an easily readable definition for each sine wave making up our signal. Secondly the Fourier transform involves rather a lot of mathematical operations which would be fiddly to do if we had to write each sine wave out in full. By choosing the most convenient of the three different forms of actually writing the equation of our sine wave down we can do these mathematical operations more easily. Let's do an example. The two operations that we're going to need to do again and again in the Fourier transform are adding and multiplying. So let's first add together two complex numbers. Let's add 3 plus 4i and 9 plus 2i. To do this we need to group together the real and imaginary parts of the number. The 3 and the 9 are real so we group those together. The 4 and the 2 are both multiplied by i so they are imaginary. So let's rewrite the sum as 3 plus 9 and 4i plus 2i. Well that's easy to do. 3 plus 9 is 12 and 4i plus 2i is 6i. So the result is 12 plus 6i. Subtraction is just as easy. Let's subtract 9 plus 2i and 3 plus 4i. Again we group together the real and imaginary terms. 3 minus 9 is minus 6 and 4i minus 2i is 2i so the result is minus 6 plus 2i. How about if we were to multiply the two complex numbers from the previous example? 3 plus 4i times 9 plus 2i. When it's just like multiplying brackets we use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for first, outside, inside, last. We have to multiply the numbers together in four stages. Stage 1 we multiply the two first terms in each bracket. 3 times 9 equals 27. Stage 2 we multiply the two outside terms. 3 times 2i equals 6i. Stage 3 we multiply the two inside terms. 4i times 9 equals 36i. Stage 4 we multiply the two last terms in each bracket. 4i times 2i equals 8i squared. But remember that i squared equals minus 1 so the answer to this last stage is minus 8. This all gives us 27 plus 6i minus 8 plus 36i. Now we group together the real and imaginary terms just as we did before when we were adding. 27 minus 8 and 6i plus 36i which gives us the result 19 plus 42i. However when multiplying it could be easier to express the two complex numbers in exponential form because then we could multiply them together using the exponential products rule. The exponential product rule states to multiply two exponential numbers simply add together their indices e to the power a times e to the power b equals e to the power a plus b. Let's leave Euler out of it a second and take a simple example. If I want to multiply 2 to the power 3 by 2 to the power 4 all I have to do is add together the 3 and the 4 to get the answer. 2 to the power 3 times 2 to the power 4 equals 2 to the power 3 plus 4 which is equal to 2 to the power 7. Let's look at why this is true. 2 to the power 3 equals 2 times 2 times 2 2 to the power 4 equals 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 If I write this out in full to multiply the two numbers together I simply do 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 times 2 If I count up all the 2's you can see why this is the same as writing 2 to the power 7 Now the 2 could be any number Euler's number for example So exactly the same method works for 3 plus 4i times 9 plus 2i if we write them out in exponential form To do this we use Pythagoras and the inverse tangent rule So for 3 plus 4i Pythagoras gives us the root of 3 squared plus 4 squared equals 5 The inverse tangent rule gives us inverse tan of 4 divided by 3 is roughly equal to 53.1 degrees For 9 plus 2i Pythagoras gives us the root of 9 squared plus 2 squared is roughly equal to 9.2 And the inverse tangent rule gives us inverse tan of 2 divided by 9 is roughly equal to 12.5 degrees So we can rewrite the multiplication in the form 5 times e to the power of 53.1 degrees times i times 9.2 e to the power of 12.5 degrees times i The 5 and the 9.2 we multiply as normal giving us 46 The 53.1 degrees and the 12.5 degrees and together giving us 65.6 degrees which gives us the overall result of 46 times e to the power of 65.6 degrees times i We can then use the polar form to convert this back into the Cartesian form and show that the two methods give the same answer 46 times cosine of 65.6 degrees is equal to 19 and 46 times i times sine of 65.6 degrees is equal to 42 i Now let's try to divide 3 plus 4 i by 9 plus 2 i How about if we use the FOIL method to divide the numbers Well this time we really hit a problem Look what happens Dividing the two first terms in brackets 3 divided by 9 is no problem as that simply gives us a third No it's the outside terms that are the difficult ones as look what happens to the i If we divide the two outside terms 3 divided by 2 i the i ends up on the bottom as the denominator This makes things very awkward We've already had enough trouble with i being the square root of minus 1 having to introduce a new term to cope with 1 over the square root of minus 1 If only there was some trick we could use to get the i out of the denominator Well as it happens there is we use something called the complex conjugate The complex conjugate is a nifty little number Any complex number multiplied by its complex conjugate gives us a real number as the result No i's to worry about The complex conjugate of 9 plus 2 i is 9 minus 2 i Now if we multiply these two numbers together using FOIL this is what we get 9 times 9 equals 81 9 times minus 2 i equals minus 18 i 2 i times 9 equals 18 i and 2 i times minus 2 i equals minus 4 i squared But i squared equals minus 1 So minus 4 i squared equals minus 4 times minus 1 which simply equals 4 So grouping these terms together gives us 81 minus 18 i plus 18 i plus 4 The minus 18 i and 18 i cancel out leaving us with no i's So we are simply left with 81 plus 4 giving us 85 a totally real result So how do we use this trick in our division calculation? What we can do is to multiply both the 3 plus 4 i and the 9 plus 2 i by 9 minus 2 i We can do this as 9 minus 2 i divided by 9 minus 2 i is equal to 1 So all we have done is multiplied our original calculation by 1 which doesn't affect the result However what it does do is allow us to use FOIL on both the numerator and the denominator We already calculated the denominator as 9 minus 2 i is the complex conjugate of 9 plus 2 i which we worked up before simply equaled 85 So without changing the outcome of the calculation at all we have managed to get the i out of the denominator and can now treat the rest of the calculation as a multiplication So using FOIL 3 times 9 equals 27 3 times minus 2 i equals minus 6 i 4 i times 9 equals 36 i and 4 i times minus 2 i equals minus 8 i squared or simply 8 as i squared equals minus 1 This makes 27 minus 6 i plus 8 plus 36 i If we arrange this grouping the real and imaginary terms we get 27 plus 8 minus 6 i plus 36 i which gives us 35 plus 30 i So now we are left with the result 35 plus 30 i over 85 But we're used to seeing complex numbers written out with the real and imaginary part So let's rewrite this expression slightly 35 over 85 plus 30 over 85 i or if we actually work at the division 0.41 plus 0.35 i Although the FOIL method does allow us to get to an answer when dividing two complex numbers we had to work very hard to get there It is here that writing out two complex numbers in their exponential form really comes into its own If we rewrite our calculation using the exponential form of the two complex numbers like we did when we multiplied them before we can use a similar method to divide them When multiplying we first multiplied the 5 and the 9.2 Now that we are dividing we simply divide them instead giving us the answer 0.54 When multiplying we divide the 53.1 degrees and the 12.5 degrees Now that we're dividing we simply minus them instead giving us 40.6 degrees This gives us the overall result 0.54 times e to the 40.6 degrees times i Using the polar form we can convert this back into the Cartesian form which gives us 0.54 a cosine of 40.6 degrees plus 0.54 times i times the sine of 40.6 degrees which gives us the result 0.41 plus 0.35 i The same result as we got before but arrived at with much greater ease So the imaginary number i and the world of complex numbers gave Fourier a notation a mathematical language used to do his calculations However, although complex numbers gave Fourier a way of describing mathematically what he was trying to do a notation is only an alphabet a set of individual letters He still had to join these letters up to form the words and sentences he needed to describe his theory In the next lecture we're going to find out how the Fourier transform actually works We're going to learn all about convolution


and welcome to the 2 p.m. Update with me David White and What do we have today? Well a little bit of a pullback and a question right away is Do we have any kind of volume that signals either some kind of blow-off bottom or? Not much and we're still in the trading range. So we go to the CBO e And what do we have? 6.1 billion shares, so it's a snooze fest We are probably more likely in a trading range doesn't mean you can't go down a little bit further I suspect though that we continue to kind of Dance around and go a little bit higher through next week fun buying actually starts and it's supposed to start on Monday But generally for the most part everybody keeps pushing it off and back Moving it back a little bit and of course Start seeing on Monday some markup To sell those folks that must buy at a certain time each month. I never understood it It especially if you have a 401k and you've got some kind of fun You're probably getting massively screwed over every month, but hey what the hey what can you say? Ah, anyway, as we said on a shortened week, we've got lighter volume Right now as we looked off 50 on the S&P cash down 364 on the down assets down to 23 Some of the bigger movers out here today that many are talking about on earnings is Where is it at? Let's do it alphabetically on Odesk down at 12 point or 12% excuse me down 27 on the day AES What do we have here? Let's go back to some other ones. There we go Other ones out there. Moderna's down about 6% EOG resource down five and a half Boeing has it's a lawsuit that everybody thought was settled Getting reopened and they are seeing the wrath Of those folks down about four and a half percent. We'll be back in a minute and do the really big show


Good afternoon everyone. My name is Eiter. I'm a senior data engineer working in Microsoft working with different customers and in the last year, you know, we're having, you know, building different data platforms and also just, you know, also building different data partners and actually suffer a lot with data quality, right? So this talk is just about data quality and how we can, you know, perform different steps in order to build like AI or automated data quality platform that could actually run on top of our data platform. So let's start. So can anybody guess what is this, this picture? Okay, so we all agree that this is bad quality data, right? Okay, what about this? Yes, good enough, right? Yes, good enough. So some people could say, oh, I can guess it. I'm the best one. And maybe you cannot say that, right? However, we all agree that this is good quality data, right? And this is actually what happens sometimes when we are dealing with data. So the same happens when we have a graph. When we see like a huge spike, maybe someone is just telling to herself or herself, is this a data quality issue or just a normal, you know, load or volume of data that I'm just ingesting? So how can we guess that? How can we say this data quality issue or not, okay? So this is a typical, you know, data like architecture that when we have like a different data sources, we collect data in Kafka, for instance, then we just land this data in a block storage in a raw data store. And then we have some processing, some spark, whatever, and then some maybe real-time, you know, processing also, and then Cosmos DB, and then some reports and web application to soon real-time, right? So when we have this type of spike, first of all, we ask, or maybe the front-end developer or the user just, you know, using the web app realize that they see the spike. And they talk to the developers and say, do we have any bug here in the front-end, in the web app? Is this real? And the front-end developers say, no, everything is okay, right? So then we just go to the back-end developers and say, do we have any issue here? And the same goes to the data engineers or the ones working in the data platform, right? And this is just independent of the, you know, technologies or the frameworks that we are using in our data platforms. And the data quality program actually has two different flavors, I would say, two different separate things. First of all, it's really time-consuming, okay? And if actually performs or we get, like, a lot of unreliable insights. So how we can solve this? But first of all, before trying to solve this issue and try to solve how we can, you know, deal with these kind of issues, why actually those data quality problems happen? And this is because, first of all, we are assuming from day zero that we have good quality data, right? And this is just because, and then time-consuming is related to this. And the second one is because we are propagating low data quality to different, you know, applications or consumers that we have. Machine learning models, reporting, web apps, et cetera. This is typical, you know, a data store. And the question is, when we realize that we have data quality issue? Maybe, you know, day zero we have everything blue, good data, blah, blah, blah. Maybe in one month, you, someone realize just taking a coffee, you know. Okay, here I'm just seeing some issues on the data. But, you know, realize, guys, this is not an issue, I could just perform my tasks, go on. Next month, oh, this is just time-consuming. We are just realizing that we are having more and more issues here in our data platform. We should start doing something. Sometimes it could be really late on a Facebook, you know. So the data platform is just useless and our data store is useless. It's a mess of, you know, bad quality data. And of course, this has a lot of consequences. Not only revenue, productivity, credibility, et cetera, et cetera. I guess that you all, guys, know those. Okay, so we are going to talk here about some of the foundations of data quality. Somehow we can face or deal with this, okay? And maybe go beyond, you know, automated data quality and think about literally how we can apply some ML on top of this. So first of all, the first challenge is, okay, we talk about we are assuming good quality data, and this is why we are, you know, we spend a lot of time, you know, performing queries, et cetera, et cetera on this. What's data quality? I like to say that it is the fitness of data for its intended purpose, right? And data quality includes a lot of different, also, modules or aspects that here in the conference you already heard. So data quality, data profiling, data management, data governance, data architecture, et cetera, et cetera. This talk, actually, I'm going to focus a little bit on profiling not too much and also on data quality, okay? Have somebody heard about data quality dimensions before? Yeah? Okay. So in the, you know, you can find like a lot of publication research or even in the literature, different dimensions regarding data quality. And this is the one that I really like to share. So depending on the complexity, we can define different data quality metrics or data quality dimensions. The first one could be the threshold. It would just define, you know, if we are seeing a different threshold in our web app, we can't realize if this is real or not. Somehow, we can't have a sense if this is a problem or if this could become a problem in the near future, okay? The second one, timeliness. It's just, you know, the difference between two different time stamps. So we can define a threshold and say, if I could not assume 20 seconds between the first time stamp and the second time stamp, for instance. Right? The same goes for the linkage, integrity, accuracy, okay? And complainness, uniqueness, validity, conformity, et cetera. We can define like a set of data quality dimension and say, okay, we are going to start from the first two or first three. And we are going to monitor them, okay? So this is just a data pile and logical build, right? So data quality could be related to data sources, but also to the job, okay? So we can say to the data set itself, to the input data set or for the job, for the ETL, okay? So actually, the data quality dimension that we already mentioned could be actually classified into, you know, data source issues or ETL issues. So for instance, data sources, we can talk about data inconsistencies or hard delets and bulk inserts, okay? And the same goes for ingesting ETL issues. Some of the metrics that I already mentioned, uniqueness, complainness, et cetera, could actually happen in the ETL and we can detect those in the ETL process. So how we can face this? This is just a meta model, really high level meta model, okay? So normally we have like a data pipeline, we already talked about data pipelines and for instance Spark and then we have like a Spark runner, right? So, I mean, I just developed really a Spark job, right? In the structure system for instance and this just running on Spark then, okay? So we can talk about data profiling and data quality on top of this normal data, let's say data finance infrastructure, okay? So we can apply the first of all data quality, okay? So we define a data quality dimension that actually applies to an entity or data set, okay? This is just about data profiling and the same goes for the data quality. The result of the data profiling will go in a dashboard. That way we are going to face the first challenge. What I mean is that data quality is really time consuming. If we are monitoring and having a real time dashboard for data quality, we can have, we really know where is the issue.  So this is just an example. We talk about different data quality dimensions, threshold is the first one, this is just an example. We have a spike, right? This is real or not? We have a huge spike. Okay, let's move on on different data quality metrics that we have. Okay, this is just about duplicates and schema. It seems that we don't have duplicates. So it could be normal spike, right? What about timeliness? Are we having that day like a huge timeliness problem? Maybe, you know, something is broken or we are not ingesting a spectator or something? It seems that not, right? And what about validity and conformity? The data that we are receiving or ingesting is just a schema compliant, right? Or are we having like different fields or different, you know, schema changes here? It seems that not. So just having a really simple monitoring tool could actually help you to, you know, maybe instead of taking hours or taking days, maybe in minutes or in really few hours, you can realize what's going on about data quality. So we solve more or less the first challenge, right? Time consuming, assuming good data quality. For that, we are applying monitoring, data quality dashboard. What about the second one? We talk about propagating low quality data. So guys, we talk about this metamodel. Can anybody guess what is missing here? We need to actually act on the data pilements that we have, okay? So actually, it's not enough to monitor and to have dashboard in order to realize that what data quality issues we are having, okay? But also, we need to act on the data pilements that actually are moving the data from the source to our data store or to our whatever we have, you know? So we can't use circuit breakers for that. This is just the pattern of software development and we can't use circuit breakers to act on the data pilements. So what this mean? Based on our data quality thresholds that we define, for instance, I don't want to have, you know, 98% more, you know, duplicates or related to uniqueness or whatever, right? So actually, we can act on the data pile and resolve. So this just happened in, so sorry, this just, we open the circuit or they close the circuit depending on the threshold that we are monitoring. So we can actually change those thresholds and act totally differently on our data pilements. This is just about profiling also, you know, not about data quality, I mean. This is because for enabled circuit breakers, we need to go beyond, you know, the typical metadata ingestion or freed man and having data set, etc. So maybe we need to also have profiling for the data pilements that we are running, right? If the data pile is running or not, how much time is taken, etc, etc. So this actually was happening. We can't define soft alerts and hard alerts related to our threshold. So we can be really hard on our data pile and say, I don't want to move data from A to B if my threshold is really big or I just say, okay, I'm quite good, good enough. Do you remember the good enough? So I'm just good enough with this data so I could just move and send an alert to the dashboard, okay? So as I said, the circuit could work in soft or hard way. In the soft way, as we have the monitoring tool, we can send alerts to the monitoring tool. In the hard way, we are actioning on the data pile and we are not going to move the data to our final data store. This is just an example of some sort of alerts that we can define in our data platforms, soft alerts, hard alerts, etc., etc. So this is what we are going to take. We apply the hard alerts, right? So basically we are going to shift from an unbounded data stream to a bounded data stream. We are going to act on our data stream and say, I don't want to pass this good enough data quality. I don't want to move bad data quality to my data store, right guys? So what does it mean? It's just a matter of, it's a trade-off of availability versus quality. Maybe you prefer to take all the data in your data store, but for you it's just good enough, okay? I'm responsible, accountable for that, okay? But maybe you want to act on the data pipelines and so on.  So we talk about data quality monitoring. Before we started talking about this, you know, we were ingesting all the data and all the data had the same flavor, right? Everything was black. However, with the monitoring, I can say this is just flavor A, flavor B, flavor C, okay? What about circuit breakers? Okay, all the data was available, even having different flavors. However, if we apply circuit breakers, we can just act and, you know, have the data, only have good quality data in our data stores. But we come beyond this. So we have been, you know, having applied this in different data platforms in the past, but we realize that actually, you know, we can apply data quality dashboards, we can apply also circuit breakers and act on data pipelines, but we come beyond that, right? So we find the threshold, we can actually use anomaly detection to check this data quality issues. And this is really, really important because, you know, we start by doing like a huge manual work, then we move to a dashboard, then we move to a circuit breakers, now we move to maybe a little really tiny model that could run on top of our data quality platform. Guys, I want to share some things that I think that this is quite important, and maybe you agree or not, but we don't use this, you know, this monitor of data quality and have data quality from day zero.  We can, you know, spend like a lot of money, a lot of time, best engineers working in our data platform, but it will be useless. Okay, the same goes, you know, for the technical perspective and for the schema as you can, you know, also Gobi John's syntactic checking. This morning, I think it was, Oscar talked about ontologies, right? So we should use ontologies and semantic checking also for the data that we are ingesting, also investing good data quality monitoring that we talk also here, and she from, you know, a bounded contest to a bounded contest, right? Having like a, the circuit breaker pattern, if you agree on that.  Okay, and the same goes for the metadata. So metadata is important, not only having all the data sets. Some take away. I would like to say that we need to move from a Gigo to a Gino.  This is for me really important, right?  I will think later on what I would like to do with this. So this is just really, really important for me. And the same goes for the rest of the things that we already mentioned. So monitor, control, and automate, right? So you can provide visibility to the stakeholders. So anybody in your data team could actually be aware of what's going on, what could happen in the near future with the platform. If you ingest, you know, new data sources, if you are going to have like a new issues, new data quality issues, you can run new data quality metrics on top of those that you already defined, et cetera, et cetera. But the important thing is you need to take aware of data quality from this area. And this is just something that we need to think about. And this is not about me. So AI is making headlines, but data quality is also making headlines, okay? And this is important. I will like to finish here, because actually I didn't have so much time to live. So I really thank you for this. I'm open to questions. Questions? Thank you, I thought. Any questions? We still have some time. Sorry. Which tools would you recommend to use to implement all the things we're talking about in terms of the quality and so on? Yeah. So in the market you can find like a different data quality SaaS products, right? Data quality, let's say. Everything was based on Spark, okay? So yesterday we also talked about Delta Lake, et cetera. So we built different, so per each metric, we built different notebook, okay? So SparkJob. And we were running those SparkJob as you run the different data payments. So we got like a data quality payments, right? Running those different jobs. And the output of the jobs goes to the dashboard, okay? And the same goes for the circuit breakers. So in this case we have like a different jobs. And using the API you can actually trigger on those jobs that you're running based on the data quality jobs. Thanks. Do you have support from business part to the data quality text implementation or definition? In this case, no. So in this case we assume that we are defining those data quality metrics as we expect, okay? But as I said, you can find like a different literature there. So actually uniqueness or duplicates is actually well defined.  And we write down, we wrote down what this means actually because in the literature actually you can find like a different definitions, right? So for me the important thing we don't count on business on this but we do agree on the team what validity and completeness or the other metrics means, yeah.


Hey everyone, welcome to Path to Nowhere. So we have a new event coming from the game and it's going to be starting on November 24, which is next week up to December 5th. And we have a couple of details here. So let's just go into it. So clear main story. This is going to be 1-9 reunited with Salva. So event rules. During the event, you stamina to complete main story, stages and rust stages so you can obtain event token Trick Candy. Trick Candy is going to be your currency for the store. So you can complete limited time tasks to get event token Trick Candy and Hyper Cubes. Okay Candy Exchange will also happen on November 24th to December 8th. You can consume the event token to get a limited 2 star attire for Hella as you can see here. Let's go to the details of this event which happened in the shiny server already. So this event, I'm not sure if this is going to be all of the details but roughly I'll give you guys an idea on what we'll be getting on the day of the event. So you're gonna be getting these as you do your dailies. These are not really difficult challenges. So these are your daily grind guys. You just need to get these. You can see here daily get Trick or Treat candies today. So you have Hyper Cubes, Log into the game, Hyper Cubes and the rest will be Trick Candies. So this is the store. Again you can get only one copy of her skin. Hella then you have a bunch here that we desperately need for the game. This coin, the essence here. We really need this to level up our sinners and skill module is also important here and the search for clues as well because of the integration. Again guys I'm not sure if this is going to be similar to our server but again this is just a sneak peek of what the devs have for us in store next week. So again guys thank you very much. See you in the next one.


The subject of creativity is such a huge subject. There are many things that make it happen. Sometimes it's desperation to produce something that somebody else will want to buy, print, look at, hang on their wall so that you can make a living out of it. At other times there are people who are driven to be creative because that's their mission in life. They just can't think of living a life any other way and they're willing to lock themselves up in an attic and starve and just keep painting or sculpting. I personally, I like to entertain people. I became a cartoonist because cartoons are popular and you can get across a multitude of ideas. You see something funny, something that strikes you funny in the paper, something political, something ridiculous, and you get a cartoon idea out of it. There isn't anywhere that I go, whether I get into a subway or on a bus or rent a car or whatever, that I don't have a criticism of how they run these things. I was able to exploit this creative attitude in Mad Magazine by doing a lot of mad inventions. Everyone is inspired by a different muse and you follow your muse. I hope I can create a couple more things before I kick the bucket, which is a very creative thing to do, by the way, instead of dying.


Well, hello and welcome to understand men now. I'm Jonathan Astley of Jonathan Astley calm And I'm so excited to be shooting this short video for you today our topic He's into you, but his words say otherwise Really quickly if you're new to my channel, please do me a favor and hit the subscribe button and hit the bell So you can be new notified of new content. I shoot about three or four videos per week. All right our topic He's into you, but his words say otherwise and let me tell you where this came about this topic One of you wrote in the comment section about a man who was demonstrating a lot of actions That he was into this woman in other words He called all the time he texted all the time he he wanted to spend time with her and Yet his words didn't seem to match So we've often heard that we you know, you've heard the phrase actions matching words right oftentimes a lot of times Manor words words words words words words words, but their actions don't match it reminds me of my fair lady If you love me show me, okay? So in this particular case she was expressing how this man would text all the time I mean incessantly texting communicate and basically, you know, it Demonstrated from an action perspective. He was into her and yet he had trouble saying the words I love you. I had trouble saying, you know, where this relationship is going So I wanted to dig in deeper in that and if you're not familiar with the book The five love languages by Gary Chapman the five love languages by Gary Chapman He talks about the way we Express love and each person has their own different way of expressing love for example There's words of affirmation or adoration as we Leo's like to be adored Or at least that's the way I am number two Quality time number three physical touch Number four acts of service and number five gifts so in this particular case we might assume that his action of Constantly texting might be an act of service, but I don't really feel like that's what that is In fact in this particular case, I don't think his actions are really demonstrating much other than he'd likes He's connected with her in some way But I want to go a little bit deeper because I do believe it's so Important that we use our words as well You know that we express adoration for our partner that we express appreciation that we express affection through our words and Even going so far to demonstrate where you want to see this relationship headed Okay, oftentimes men and women will will lean back a little bit on the whole where this Relationship is going in the early stages and yet in my purview I believe it's important to start leaning in once you become intimate with a partner and you start progressing down the path of Relationship there should be some sort of conversation about what each other wants in relationship So it's important to be using our words not just to demonstrate Adoration for a partner but to affirm that this is a partnership that you want to go down So in this particular case where the man's actions were merely, you know, demonstrating he was into her But we don't know what the motivation was was the motivation just purely sex or were they doing Quality time together And that's the other key component. Are they doing quality activities together? Are they doing quality hobbies together? Are they doing quality mutual interest together? Because ultimately that's how you build the roots to deeper trust in relationship And that's my invitation for most everybody is to lean into the roots that need to be established in Relationship and words is one of those important roots being able to express ourselves because ultimately for unable to express either adoration or affirm that this relationship Has some consequence to it and what I mean by Consequence I mean it has some substance to it that has some real merit to it then it could be a Frustrating frustrating relationship if two people aren't using their words and so in this particular case Yes, I get his actions might seem like he's into her, but if the words aren't following up Then you have to ask yourself. Is this really a relationship worth investing and that's just my invitation in this particular case And again the book the five love language is something I highly recommend along and I'm going to mention this in almost all my videos My book what the heck is self-love anyway as well as my book if you're not familiar with my book Understand men now the relationships men commit to and why I highly recommend checking out this book as well It's a bit remedial. I'll be candid with you It was written very basic and yet it's some basic principles about understanding men And I'm going to be shooting more videos about what's in the context of this book as well Now if you have a question that you think would be Video worthy, please do me a favor post a comment of a really legitimate good question That I can shoot a video around because I'm always looking for good content I want to be able to satisfy your needs wants and desires and let me just say when you do post a comment I do my best to read every single one of them I try to even respond back because there's great value. Also, I know many of you are interested in private coaching There's a link in the description below to schedule a free discovery call because you might need some male Perspective in your love life whether it's to notice your blind You know to observe your blind spots from that male perspective or maybe you are in a relationship And you're going gosh, I'd like some feedback about the guy I'm with and that's something I'm a master at so again, check out that free discovery call and the link in the description All right, that was a mouthful, so I hope you got some value from this video I'm gonna wrap up this video as I always do first off giving myself a big gigantic Jonathan bear a hug of self love I'm gonna reach into the computer and give your video and reach give you a hug of love I'm gonna ask you to turn to somebody and give them a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love And we can all use more love in our lives. Thanks so much and wishing you a fabulous day. Bye. Bye now


Ooh, it's not heavier than I thought. All right, ready? Ready. I'm going in. Got to let everything shift. All right. We just made this wooden Christmas tree advent calendar with a bunch of tiny presents inside it, using only two boards. And we'll show you how we did it right now. What is up? A welcome back. Do like to do it, builder to make it. So do we. And we have a new video each week. This week it's getting really close to Thanksgiving. So that means it's time for the advent calendars. Or it's getting really close to December 1st and it's time for the advent calendars. You can't start the month without an advent calendar. At least that's what my kids think. Now I think the advent calendar should come out at Thanksgiving when we pick Secret Santa. So what? So they could just look at it for a week and wish they could open something? You don't think they should start like a day after Thanksgiving? No. Opening something? How many boxes would I need? It's like a prequel. No, you only get 25 boxes. That's the whole thing. Countdown to Christmas with some treats. What do you think? Do you think it should start Thanksgiving or December 1st? I mean, it's really only a week away. It's just a week of little trinkets. Yeah. You just made that up. All right, well, we're short on time this week. We are still getting everything up and running. We had a little hiccup with some of our setup gear and our new warehouse. So we've got to get this project knocked out. And so we borrowed some plans from Horizon Design Studio. And we're going to use these to make this advent calendar. I think we could do this in less than two hours. They already figured out all the angles. So just following plans, not making up anything myself. Feel a little bit better about that. We're going to test them out and see how it goes. Horizon, you're getting the test. Step one, we're going to gather all of our supplies. We needed two one by fours, but we got three, just in case there's a lot of angles. We needed some hooks to hang things on, like a stocking or something. We needed some inch and a half brad nails. Are they still brad nails, inch and a half? We're following them. And then we needed something to put our little gifts in. So for this calendar, it's going to be basically a shelf. So we're going to use these little boxes. We're going to put 25, at least that was my original plan, 30 boxes on the shelves. And I hope I can fit all of them. If not, I might have to just keep adding them throughout the month and just keep putting them on the shelves. Now, these are jewelry boxes. We'd be putting jewelry in these boxes. That's not my plan. Okay, good. I was thinking candy. Yes, little trinkets like that. And I'll tell you, I got these at the Dollar Tree and they really came through because I said to Gary, I was like, well, I've got to go see if I can find some decorative boxes. So I don't have to wrap 25 little boxes. And I'll tell you there were so many. Like here's a little set of three boxes that came together and these are little nested boxes. They just, there are so many. I was able to get 25 different, yes, 25 different boxes already wrapped. I didn't have to wrap anything. I'll just slap some trinkets in here and put them on the shelf. That is the best part. We don't have to wrap anything. Nope, nope, look at them. Aren't they great? And of these little three gift ones, there's like three different designs. See that? I know, I checked. That's good. Yeah. Nothing repeats. Well, no, I did get a couple of these. Some of them do repeat, but that's because they didn't have 25 different designs. It'll be like a big game of what's that price game? Price is right? No, what's the one before that in the morning or after? You mean, hold on, I love that one. Hold on, give me a second, give me a second. What is that game show that comes on in the morning before price is right? Let's make a deal. Let's make a deal. It's let's make a deal. It's like a big game of let's make a deal, right? Kinda, yeah. Do you want what's in box number one or box number two?  Could have something you never know what's in these little boxes. Never know. Step two, we're gonna make all of our cuts. It's like death by 18 cuts. It's only 18 cuts, but it just feels like a lot of cuts. We're gonna cut this one by four down into a bunch of different sizes. Like how many different sizes? Like 12 different sizes. Something like that, yeah. Yeah, the tricky part is this is a Christmas tree and it will have angles to make this thing come together. So we're nervous about this. Let's just see how it goes. Let's see how it goes. And we're gonna make all of these cuts with my pocket saw. Keep them around, keep them back there in my pocket just in case I need to cut anything in a jiff. He's here. All right, these cuts are A through K. So we're gonna start with board A. I'm gonna give you all the directions you need here. All right. Board A is a simple 16 and a half inches. Just a simple 16, huh? Yes, there's no angles on this board. So, this is how you get started. This is a warm up cut. Yeah, it's a warm up cut. What's the next cut? All right, cut A complete. Cut B is three and a half inches. You need two of them. Okay, great. B is how much? Three and a half inches. Three and a half inches. All right, C, seven and three quarters. Seven and three quarters.  Well, then I'll give myself a little bit. I'll give myself eight inches. I know, sneak up on the angle. All right, there's a little left over in this board but not a lot, so I'll give yourself too much. C, six. Six of this one, huh? Mm-hmm. Well, do one and then I'll make a stop block. Okay. All right, so what's the angle? The angle is 20 degrees on one side and 20 degrees on the other. So 20 degrees, all right. Uh-huh, some of them are different. This one is the same. So to get these angles, I'm gonna loosen this hand screw back here and then I can tilt the head. So I'll tilt it to 20. Oh, well, that's hard to tell, 15, 20, 25. All right, so 20. All right, what's the next cut? All right, D, we're getting the hard ones out of the way first. So this one is gonna be seven and an eight and then it's gonna narrow to four inches. It's gonna be behind the tree as a bracer piece. Okay, all right, all right. Let's set this back to zero.  Precise. Yeah, that's pretty precise. You better come in at seven and an eighth. Seven and a quarter, going too far. All right, so... So you're gonna have to go diagonal from this corner to the top and measure four inches like straight in the middle. Well, let me find center. Oh, okay, yep, yep, up I am. What's center of seven and a quarter? Seven and an eighth would be three and a half and a sixteenth, three and a half and a sixteenth. All right. Three and... Three and a half. Nine sixteenths. And a sixteenth. Two inches this way. Mm-hmm. Two inches this way. Two. Now it should be four. I wanna double check that that's four. Four inches. Inches, looks good. Now, where's your little... I use this board. All right, that seems super precise. It is, it is amazingly precise. All right, you wanna show them? This is what I have drawn. Now I'm gonna try to line this up to make this cut. Give it a twist. There you go. It turned out to be like 26, 26 degrees. About 26 degrees. Now it's smooth sailing from here. I do wish I would say that, right? Yeah. Don't jinx me. Don't jinx you. All right, cut E, nine and three-eighths long and then you're gonna have a 42 degree and a 24 degree. Let's just get one step at a time. All right, so we'll start with the... Nine and three-eighths. Nine and three-eighths. These are gonna both come in. One is at 42 degrees and one is at 24. All right, we'll start with the 42 degrees, 45. I'm guessing that's 42. It's 42 now. Great job, mom. Now the other side is 24 degrees. 24. These lines are so tiny.  First tee. Ooh, still nine and three-eighths. All right, look at you. That's pretty easy. All right, it's pretty easy. Don't get cocky. Don't get cocky. Okay, eight and three-eighths. Oh, I'm out of board. Let's see what you can get out of this. All right, may I see the eight and three-eighths. All right, give me the angle. Give it to me. 24 and 42. What? Sorry. All right, I'll start with the 42 again. Now, 24. Yes. Eight and three-eighths. Nice, great job. Ask and you shall receive. Ish. All right. That was F. We're just rolling right through these things. We are. We're powering right through all of these things. All right, next board. Board number two. Coming at me. Oh, what we got going on here. Let's go back to zero. Board number two is at 18 inches. Ooh, this is a long one. Mm-mm. Bringing it in at a flat 18. There's no one-sixteenth. Flat 18. There's no thirty-second. Nope. There's no like one-sixty-fourth. Nope. Don't put it away yet. Oh, there's angles that go into this thing. Yes. Oh, no. 24 and 24. Both inside like this. 24, 24. Oh yeah, so that makes it easy for you. Mm-hmm. Really just about C in the line of 24. Like that's half the battle. It's so tiny in here. Pretty good, huh? Yeah, I wanna check it. Yeah. Give it a old checker. Ooh, wow, great job. You're doing a great job. Thanks, babe. Thanks. All right. G is done. H, 14 inches. Start at zero. Yep. Zero, 14 inches. And these are gonna be 24s too. Maybe we should have. Yeah. Uh-huh. Yeah. Hold on, the next one is gonna be 10 if you wanna go ahead and get that one. Does it also have 24s? Yes. And so is six. 10 and six. 10 and six, do those two. Is that it? Yes, for now.  So 24 degrees. I mean 24 degrees, 24 inches. Yeah, it seems to be easier to start at the corner and come in than try to guess and shave off the other way. H, I, J, great. All right, K, seven and three quarters. Oh, what are the angles? They are 20 and 20. Two 20s? Mm-hmm. Opposites. Oh, and seven and three quarters. What are you doing? Like you said. You only need, oh, now you need two of them. But that's right, right? Yes. Yeah, see, uh-huh. Cute way. Yes. Check. And that's it, look at there. You made all 18 cuts. Wasn't too bad. It wasn't death by 18 cuts like I thought it would be. Yeah. They're pretty easy. Good job, Horizon. So far. All of our cuts are made. Next step, we're gonna do a little sanding. They have some rough edges here so we're just gonna hit them with a sander. And mostly I'm focusing on the edges because we used some top choice boards so they're pretty smooth. I'll hit the outsides a little bit. But mostly I'm focusing on these edges to make sure they're nice and sharp. Just where the cut was. Some of the cuts might've been a little sloppy. A little splintery. Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. For our last cut, we're gonna try to cut this into like a tiny corbel type thing. Yeah, it's shown on the plans to cut this at a nice little swivel. S. S. And this one's tricky. I don't know. I've never done one of these. I'm gonna use the jigsaw to cut it. But we're gonna use the top of this little wax can to make the S. All right, and it shows that it's one inch in and one inch from the bottom and it just swoops down. Great. All right, I'll see if I can cut it out. This is the back part, right? That's right. All right. All right, so I don't know if you guys could see that, but I used a can to cut. Well, to make the drawing of what I'm about to cut. Attempt to cut. Yeah, to make. Let's clamp this down. All right. Too bad. Yeah. All right, number one. Now I'm gonna use number one to draw number two. You did a great job. Oh, thanks, babe. Let's see how close they are. Not too bad. All right, so. It won't, you won't be able to tell from end to end. We'll just clamp them together and hit them on the sander real quick. Can you hold the sander? You hold the sander and I'll just rum it on here. All right. All right. Oh my gosh. Please don't do it like we're doing it. Perfect. Look at that. All right, not perfect, but close. Nobody will notice. Nobody will notice. No. Now we're gonna stain. We're gonna use this espresso. Ooh, that's dark. We're going that dark? Well, it matches the Christmas tree skirt that we did last week. Or we started from the bottom. Now we're here. Now what? Now we're here. Did a little dry fitting. Oh, we learned a little something. It says to cut six C's. We only need four C's. And then the diagram, when you assemble it, it shows four. Hey, whatever happened to C-sized batteries? Or D? Do we even use C or D batteries? Yes, we do. We don't at home very often. It's like triple A, double A. Yeah. Triple doubles. Triple double. Let me give this thing a quick stain. Won't take any time. Four. Now we're gonna bring it all together with a little bit of glue and a one and a half inch nail. Finishing nail. Rad. The nail, not the guy. I was like, come on, you're not gonna leave it hanging this time, are you? Are we starting from the bottom and working our way up? Or starting from the top and working our way down? You have to start from the bottom to the top. Oh, okay. We're gonna start at the bottom. Work our way up. Glue in and tack in with the nails. I'm gonna re-cut the brace here in a second. Brace doesn't really fit. Now for the brace. We're just gonna do a trace. A trace for the brace? A trace for the brace. Looks good. Look at that. Looking pretty good. Looking pretty tall. Yeah. It's a lot bigger than I thought it was gonna be. Yeah, just squeeze that together. A little dry. All right, next step. I'm impressed with all of the angles. Just saying. Yes, yes. Great job. Plans. Yes, horizon designs. Great job with the plans. We had two extra Cs, but otherwise spot on. Step five. Now we're gonna add the hardware. We have these little hooks. We have these three little hooks. We're just gonna use the hardware and the screws that came with the hooks to attach it. And this is where I'm gonna hang my stocking. This is where Santa's gonna deliver all of my special goodies. Okay. Let's go. One finger, going one finger high. My finger came not your finger. Just one finger high. Six. And now we fill the exits. And then we add the exits. That last accents was horrible. That was horrible. The first one was horrible, but the second one might've been worse. So all those little boxes we had, we're gonna put some candy in them, some makeup in them. Ooh, I hope I get this box. Some pops. These are cute. Some socks. I told you, it's about the socks. And some more candy. Ooh, that's bubble gum. Three, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25. I still think you should've gotten there. Now a couple of these are gonna have some gift cards in them. All right, that's a good gift card. To like, you know, McDonald's or Taco Bell or Wawa or something. You're gonna be disappointed on this today. Give them more than just a lot. Hey, so what do you guys think? Do you think the countdown should start on Thanksgiving? Yes. You could put seven bags hanging from these hooks. We could put like tiny turkeys hanging from those. Just to kind of kick it all off. The angles weren't bad at all. Thank you Horizon Designs for putting all the angles on there. That was great. I hate trying to figure out angles. I am the worst at it. Well, it isn't your traditional advent calendar, but I'll tell you what, I'm certain the girls are gonna love it and well, they may not love some of the things that we put in it. But they'll love picking one each day. Yeah, they'll love just grabbing a box each day. Tiny little present. Instead of just opening a door for a piece of candy.  All right, we're about out of time. So if you're not gonna join us for the patron after show, we will see you next week where we'll do it, build it and make it again. And you know what's coming.  You don't think so? That's great, no. No. I think that makes it more challenging. If you drop them, if he drops them, he's picking them all up and all the gumballs and all the candy. Challenge accepted. Okay, okay, okay. Ooh, it's not heavier than I thought. All right, ready? Maybe. I'm going in. Got to let everything shift. All right. I'm in the truth. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm in. I'm out. Okay, I'm impressed. I'm impressed. Okay, hold it. Okay. I'm out of here. That's it. Going out on a high note.
