If you note the position of the sun from the same location at the same time, every day throughout the year, you're going to notice that the sun makes an unusual path through the sky. This path, a lopsided figure age, is called an analemma. There are tons of great videos and websites explaining why the sun takes this peculiar path from our vantage point here on earth, and I'll link some of those in the description so you can read more about how earth's particular 23.5-degree tilt and elliptical orbit around the sun results in this interesting pattern that we see. This year, 2023, I am determined personally to capture the analemma in a year-long photograph. Now, the extreme way to do this that only a few people have ever done successfully is on film, using just one frame of film, rewinding after each shot and exposing multiple times. This was first done by Dennis D'Chico, who published his result in Sky and Telescope in 1979. I'm not quite ready to take on the film challenge yet, so I'm going to be using a digital SLR and composite all of the frames I take throughout the year in Photoshop, but I still will have to be super accurate with both timing, framing, and positioning to pull this shot off. It is quite the challenge still, and I'll admit that I've already attempted to do an analemma photo, and I gave up on my first attempt, but I did learn a lot from that. My biggest mistake in my first attempt is that I was setting up the tripod each time to take a photo with a ball head like this, and I just found it very difficult to pull off the precision needed in terms of positioning the camera in exactly the same way for every session. So my plan this time around is to actually stake the tripod into the ground and then not touch it other than to put the camera on. So I hope to leave something like this set up all year, and hopefully that will help a lot. But I'm getting a little bit ahead of myself because instead of trying to fit everything that I want to talk about with the analemma project into one video, I'm going to make this series. So you can follow along with me throughout the year of taking this photo, and I'll share everything that I'm learning along the way, and hopefully also get tips from you and inspire others to take on this analemma challenge with me. In this first video, what I'm going to cover is figuring out a suitable location to take the pictures from because the sun is going to move quite a lot throughout the year. So we need a good open patch of sky, preferably to the south or southeast or maybe southwest, that we can see the sun every day throughout the year. And to do that, we have to make sure that there's not going to be any obstructions like trees that will stop us from completing our analemma. But then we also ideally want to put some kind of foreground objects into the shot, trees or buildings or whatever, to make it more interesting and to give a sense of scale. So to plan this out, I'm going to show you how to bring your location into the free software Stellarium as a customized landscape, and this will allow us to visualize the analemma with the photos of the actual trees I'm surrounded by here. The first step is we need to take a series of photos that captures everything around this spot that we plan to use in a 360 degree circle. And I suggest taking these vertically, like this, with a wide angle lens. I'm using a 16 millimeter here. The important thing is that you include both the horizon line and the tops of the trees in your photos. If you don't have a wide enough lens to do that, you could, you know, do it two times around, changing the angle to capture all the photos you need. And if all of this with, you know, using your DSLR sounds like too much hassle, or you don't have a DSLR, you can also probably do this with your smartphone in panorama mode. And it might be even easier to do it that way. But we'll now head to the computer and keep going to create this customized landscape. In this video series, I'm going to be showing you the how to of capturing an analemma. But I think you will be well rewarded by understanding the physics and the math underlying this pattern in the sky, which is caused by Earth's particular tilt and our elliptical orbit around the sun, which is why I'm happy to have this video sponsored by Brilliant. Brilliant.org is a hands on way to learn science and math and computer science in a really fun and interactive way. There are thousands of lessons with new ones added each month. I've been currently working through the course called scientific thinking. And I'm really enjoying how engaging and relevant the examples are to things that an astrophotographer should understand, like gearing in our mountains. To get started for free, visit Brilliant.org slash Nebula Photos or click on the link in the description. The first 200 of you will get 20% off Brilliant's annual premium subscription. Okay, I'm going to show how to now make these photos into a customized landscape in the program Stellarium. And I'm going to be showing it on my Mac, but I will link to a video from Martin's astrophotography that shows the Windows way of doing this. So if you're on Windows, I'd suggest watching his video instead for how to set up this custom landscape. But on Mac, the way to do it is I've just taken the SD card out of my camera. And then I'll you would just transfer the files from the SD card onto my computer. I've already made a folder here and transferred them. And then you can just use whatever software you like for making the panorama. So for stitching together the photographs, you can do it in Photoshop. There's also a free program called Huggin, H-U-G-I-N that works pretty well. But I've gravitated over the years to this PT GUI. It is a paid program, but I'll show you what I like about it. And you know, don't get this unless you think you're going to be doing a lot of panoramas. But this panorama editor is very nice. It allows me to quickly change, you know, what direction I'm pointing while keeping to this sort of rectilinear projection. The way to set up your panorama, if you have this ability, if not, don't worry about it because we can change it later, is to make east on the far left edge. And so it will go east, south, west, north, and then back to east. If you don't have a program that you can change sort of what direction you're pointing in your panorama, don't worry about it. It's really, we can change it later actually just through the text editor. Okay. And then what I want to do is make sure the horizon line is exactly at 50% up and down vertically. So I have my rulers on here, you can turn them off and on with command R. For my top ruler, I'm just going to drag down a guide until I'm at 50%. And you can see right now the image is below that horizon line. I want to match up the horizon line with this guide. So I'm just going to choose the move tool and drag up the image until the horizon line matches the guide. Okay. And then I'm done with the guide. Next thing I'm going to do is I want to delete the sky so that we're just left with the landscape. So to do that in Photoshop, I can just do select sky and press the delete key. And you can see now the sky is this checkerboard pattern. If there's a little bit of stuff left in here, it's really not a big deal.  But I'm just going to leave it because it really doesn't matter that much because I wouldn't be shooting down here in the trees anyways. And this did a good enough job so that we can clearly see the obstructions of these trees in Photoshop. Okay. And then optionally, I could just fill this area down here. So let's just make a big selection on it and fill it with the foreground color, which is this nice blue. Okay. And then that's it. That's all we have to do to make this sort of custom picture. We've gotten rid of the sky. We've made sure the horizon line is right at 50%. Optionally, but it is nice if you put east right on this left edge, and then it goes east, south, west, north, back to east. That's the direction that Photoshop expects for the picture. I mean, that Stellarium expects for the picture, but we can always change that, like I said. Okay. So now let's go ahead and go to File, Export, Save for Web. I'm going to save it as a PNG-24 and want to make sure that transparency box is checked and then click Save. And I'll save it as Anilemma.png. Save it to the desktop. Okay. And now, so I have this Anilemma.png on my desktop. Next thing we're going to do is open up TextEdit. Make a new document. If your TextEdit doesn't look like mine, go into the Preferences and change it from rich text to plain text. Even after changing that, you might not see a difference, but then if you don't, just make a new document and it'll open up as a plain text document. Okay. And then there's two headings that you should put in brackets like this, Landscape and Location. Under Landscape, you should have the name of your customized landscape. So I'm going with Anilemma 2023. The author, that's me, description. You can just put a short description in. This one is important where it says MapTextEquals. This has to exactly equal the name that you picked over here. So I picked Anilemma.png. So that's what it should say. Type. Let's go with Spherical. Don't know if that's right, but I think it'll work. This one is important to angle. Rotate Z equals zero. So if I got this perfect and east is exactly along the left edge, we can just leave this at zero and it should work. But I'm guessing I maybe didn't get it quite perfect, so we might have to play around with this value a little bit to get everything lined up in Stellarium. But we'll do that after. Then make a new heading in brackets, Location, Planet, Earth. I've blurred out my location data here, but you put in your latitude, longitude, altitude. And if you want, you can put in a light pollution, mortal scale level that just will change how Stellarium acts with your landscape activated in terms of how much it'll show the Milky Way and stuff like that. Then we want to save this. So I'm going to do Command S, save it to the desktop. And we'll save it as this is very important. Landscape.ini. And it has to look exactly like that. Uncheck this little box. It says if no extension, use text. Just make sure it says landscape.ini, nothing else. And click Save to the desktop. And if it worked correctly, you should see this icon, meaning that it doesn't recognize what kind of file this is. Almost there. Now we're going to put both of these into a folder. So just select them and choose New Folder. Call it Anilemma 2023. And we are going to make a zipped version of that folder by right clicking and choosing Compress. Okay, now we're ready to open up Stellarium. And we go over to the left hand side here, choose Sky and Viewing Options Window. Click on Landscapes up here at the top. You can see these are just the default landscapes. We want to go down here to where it says Add, Remove. And install a new landscape from a zip archive. Go to the desktop. Choose this zip that we just made. Click Open. And it should say Landscape Anilemma 2023 or whatever you named it has been installed successfully. If you get there is no Stellarium landscape here, then it's probably something with file endings or something like that. Just double check everything. Make sure that it's just Landscape.ini in the folder and that the Landscape.ini is linking to that PNG that you made. So you can see there's a little bit of fringing on the trees but not too bad. Gives us a pretty good idea here. Okay, so North is saying North is there. North is actually right above this this taller tree right here. So we're about I'd say 15 or 20 degrees off. Let's make sure exactly what it is by turning on Markings as a Muthal Grid. Okay. And I can see right there that's where North should be is at plus 20 degrees. So if I want to move North 20 degrees this way I'm actually going to put in minus 20 into our .ini file. So I'm going to quit out of Stellarium. And we don't want to edit this one Landscape.ini on our desktop because that's not actually where Stellarium is grabbing the information from. It put it in its own folder structure and I'll show you how to get there. On Mac you hold down the option key and then up here with finder open click go. You should see library. If you're holding down the option key click on library. Now you can let go of option. Go into application support. Go down to Stellarium. Go to Landscapes and then you should see your custom Landscape right there. We'll open up the Landscape.ini file with text edit again. And I'm just going to change that angle rotate Z option to negative 20 and save. X out of that. Open back up Stellarium. Okay it went back to the default Landscape because we haven't set ours as the default yet. But if I turn on Analema 2023 now. Now North is exactly where I want it. Let me just double check by going back in time a little bit. Yep. Okay so see now North is exactly lined up with this tree where I know North is because I've seen the Polaris directly over this tree many times. And so now we are all set up here and this is all correct. This is south right here. So how do we now start visualizing the Analema? So a couple things. First we want to pick the day that we're sort of planning to start the Analema. So let's say I'm planning to start it in a week. So I'll just go to the 23rd here. And then I can just click on this hour to see where the sun is going to be at different times. So I can see that I could either start this project maybe at 1030 or 1130 looks pretty good. But by 1230 the sun is behind that tree there. So let's try 1130. Now what I'm going to do is I'm just going to step through the months. You zoom back out a little bit here. Okay I'm just going to step through the months. So here's February. You can see the sun goes up a little bit to the left. There's March and it now goes up quite a bit and way to the left. There is April. It's now sort of starting to round the figure eight. There's May. It goes up some more. June. And now it's sort of rounding out the top of the part of the figure eight. It's July, August and now it's coming back down this way. September, October, November. That's pretty close to that tree. Let's see what it does in December. December. Okay so it's rounding back this way. Now let's say I was just a little bit off with this Stellarium landscape then I would be in the tree. So I'm going to now try a different time and see if I have a little bit more safety. So let's try 11 a.m. at all of those months. So here's November, December, September, August, July, June. Okay so it looks like 11 a.m. is going to be safe right? It's just tracing out that figure eight. So the next thing to figure out here is what lens I would want to use to make this. So for that we go up here to this little image sensor option and I want a full frame and I want a photo lens that is wide angle. So let's try 24 millimeters first. Okay so 24 millimeters. If I put it like this let's see what happens. We're outside of the frame but maybe I want to do this with a vertical composition. So you can see right now the rotation angle is set to zero but if I click on this little wrench in sensors I can change the rotation angle to 90 and let's see what we can do with that. So this is still with a 24 millimeter lens and then I'm just going to step through the months again. Okay and this looks more promising definitely. Okay but hopefully this has been useful for showing you how to trace the sun's analemma in Stellarium. Get your customized landscape in here so you're not running into the trees and then start calculating what kind of equipment you'll need.  Like I said this is going to be a series so in the next one I'll be talking a lot more about equipment and securing the tripod and using solar filters and all of that.

Next up, we have a video from our first headline sponsor, NEC. We first started the foundation. We had support from a lot of great companies that wanted to help push OpenStack forward. And one of the very early contributors and supporters was NEC. And they started out with focused contributions in a lot of areas and have grown over time to become one of the top 10 contributors. And as we put this summit on and as we've come to Japan, we've had a lot of help and support from our next speaker, who is on our board of directors. Help me welcome Tsugikaza Shibata. Tsugikaza Shibata? I'm really glad to have OpenStack Summit in Tokyo. Thank you for coming and welcome again. Yeah, this is our corporate brand message. As you can see in our video, NEC has lots of unique technologies. NEC is providing social value by collaborating with our technologies and open technologies. NEC sees that OpenStack is our best collaborative open source for cloud computing. So we joined OpenStack Community 2011. And we are now top 10 contributor in the past couple of years. Oh, thank you. And we joined OpenStack Foundation 2012 as a gold member. At that time, I was the only person from Japan. And I discussed with Foundation staff and many of member companies the success of OpenStack. And when I joined OpenStack Foundation, I never thought I would stand on this stage. Keynote, address in Tokyo. I'm a little bit nervous, but I'm also very happy to be here. Thank you. So since I joined OpenStack Foundation, I've been watching the growth of OpenStack Community and ecosystem. And it is amazing that the rapid growth of OpenStack Community, a huge number of developers get together establishing new projects, developing new features, and fixing lots of bugs. This is the power of open source. Say, hey, yeah. Oh, sorry. And it is amazing. Many different server storage and network equipments being able to attach to OpenStack by providing own driver from the companies. Also, number of distributors being available, these things increase the possibility to use of OpenStack. And it is amazing. Thank you. Number of excellent keynote from super user like NTT being presented at every summit. I was always surprised for their new use cases. All those things are really great. And during such amazing situation, I found an important point and would like to talk about that. But before that, let me brief point about super user. Super users are opening up their experience and contributing to the community. To become a super user for ordinary users, users should build their own cloud and accumulate their experience, even if it take long months. So I'm sure we all imagine the super user are doing a great work and so that they are super. And actually, it is not easy work for ordinary users. So what I wanted to talk about is an integrator to help user to be closer to super user. The concept is OpenStack super integrator. Super integrator builds OpenStack cloud as an integrator. And I would like to add two points as a super integrator. One, be open. Many type of problem found during integration and operations. To open up such model and share with community, that will be a good input to improve OpenStack. And that makes OpenStack better. Two, contribute to the community. Source code contribution is a very important model for open source. So super integrator helps user work with community to develop user-required future or enhancements. That will always beneficial for everyone. By such activity of super integrator, more user will be able to use OpenStack. And this will increase new user and that will expand ecosystem. It is a new value and we need number of super integrator in our ecosystem. So how we can realize this concept? Let me answer that question by presenting the case of NEC. NEC has extensive knowledge and experience for both computing and networking. Based on that, we are manufacturing better products such as server hardware, best fit for the cloud computing, and network equipment using SDN technologies. NEC is providing integration and operation service for both carrier and enterprise customers. Through such experience, NEC understands the characteristics and demand for customer system. In terms of OpenStack, NEC is both a user and an integrator. As a user, we build OpenStack cloud a year and a half ago. And as an integrator, we announced an integration service using cloud service experience a week ago. NEC is evolving our capability by using experience for both cloud service and integration service on the other side. Yes, NEC has these capabilities. And I believe these are the factor to be closer to super integrator. So where does OpenStack expense? Where we would be used? I think it's IoT as all you can easy to imagine. IoT era is beginning to be made. So several billions of devices connected to the internet, a huge data will be gathered, and it should be analyzed so the scalable cloud is required. Needless to say, OpenStack is a natural choice. Oh, thank you. NEC thinks IoT is important system for social infrastructure so that it should be stable and reliable. So I believe that continuous development cycle working with community is very important to create such system. And also super integrator to integrate this type of system will become increasingly important and it will be an engine to create further value. Of course, this type of system cannot be created by a single company. So partners in the ecosystem should work together in other words, style of the collaboration will stay the same. As for the conclusion, I briefly spoken about the concept of super integrator. This is just announced so I'd like to have discussion with other integrators and many other related person how to grow the super integrator. And I believe super integrator will provide new value to user and community and that will expand ecosystem. NEC will work hard toward super integrator and through such activities we will provide new value to user and OpenStack ecosystem. Thank you very much. Thank you, Shabata-san.


In an earlier video, we discovered that the roots of a quadratic give us the x-axis intercepts and the number on its own in a quadratic gives us the y-intercept. We also know that a positive x-squared gives us a smiley u-shape and a negative x-squared gives us a sad n-shape curve. We can really easily sketch a quadratic like this. In this video, we're going to discover even more information connecting the quadratic equation with its graphed function. We will look at the turning points, so the maximum and minimum. These are also known as the vertex. Quadratic functions are symmetrical. They have a line of symmetry, which is known as the axis of symmetry. The turning point will always sit on the axis of symmetry. In a positive quadratic, the turning point is a minimum. It's the lowest point of the function. And in a negative quadratic, the turning point is a maximum. It's the highest point of the function. We can easily find the x-coordinate of the turning point by using this simple little equation.  So let's check it for this graph. A is 1 and B is negative 2. So the axis of symmetry equals minus negative 2 divided by 2 multiplied by 1. So 2 divided by 2, which is 1, so x equals 1. Can you find the axis of symmetry for this quadratic? Pause the video, work out the answer and click play when you're ready. Did you get x is negative 2 as the line? Why stop there? We can find out the y-coordinate of the turning point, not just the line of symmetry. We use our x-value from the axis of symmetry and just substitute that into the original quadratic equation. So the coordinates of the turning point are 1, negative 4. So what is the coordinate of this turning point and is it a minimum or a maximum? Pause the video, work out the answer and click play when you're ready to check. Did you get the minimum at 2, negative 16? So that's the final piece of the sketching quadratic's puzzle. Let's now combine all of our knowledge about the x-axis intercepts, the y-intercept, the shape, and the coordinates of the turning points. If you've forgotten about the roots and the y-intercept, you may want to watch this video first. Otherwise, give this question a go, sketching the quadratic and labelling on four points onto the graph. Pause the video, sketch the quadratic and click play when you're ready to check. How did you get on? So that's the axis of symmetry, which we use to find the coordinates of our turning point. We have this little formula which we use and just have a look on your formula sheet or check with your teacher because you are normally given it, but you may need to memorize it. Once we have the x-value, we just substitute that into our original quadratic equation to find the y-coordinate. If you liked the video, give it a thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe.

Hi everyone, in this tutorial I'm gonna be showing you how to find the greatest common divisor in Python language. In order to do that, first I'm gonna import the mat module. Because here in mat module we have function called gcd which we're gonna use to find the greatest common divisor. As the argument of this function you can put as many integer numbers as you like. I'm gonna put few of them, for example 10, 20 and 70. Let's save this result in a variable, I'm gonna call it for example divisor. And now let's print this variable, I'm gonna print variable divisor and as you can see the greatest common divisor is number 10. Why number 10? Because 10 is the largest number that can divide all these three numbers. It can divide number 10, number 20 and number 70, it's the largest number. That's all for now, don't forget to subscribe to our channel, happy coding.


Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. I can't believe we're witnessing this, but player prices look like they're actually starting to rise on this market. For days, the transfer market looked like it never was going to go up, as player prices were just dead in the mud, and it seemed like we just had another market crash every single day. But fortunately now, player prices are on the rise. We're gonna talk about it today because does this mean a sign of more good things to come? And will these player prices keep going up into this next weekend's first week-in-league competition? Or is it just a false rise, and will this market continue to stay muddied? We're gonna break it down a lot today, and of course, we're looking for upgrade packs on a Monday. I would like a chance to pack some Road to the Knockouts, especially the four new ones that were added into packs yesterday. We're gonna cover it all today. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up, and of course, subscribe if you are new. Let's start with SBCs. As we usually do, only one SBC yesterday, and it wasn't that good of one. The better content was definitely on Saturday with the Kudus SBC. We had Andre Silva yesterday on Sunday. Honestly guys, a lot of people, I think, don't see this as a good value SBC, and I would agree with that. Low upgrade potential, and just a card that doesn't look that amazing, unless you're a SoC.fan, or you just love the LaLiga. 90 Composure is nice. Really good dribbling stats on that card. But for most people in this game, that is not gonna get it done for being an SBC that is requiring three squads and an 87 rated inside of an 84 squad. Just doesn't really seem to be worth the fodder at the stage. I would most definitely do Kudus ahead of the Andre Silva, but at least it is a nice SBC player that is content, right? Not great content, but it is at least content. I'm really curious to see, as we're gonna talk about later on in the video, how many more of those SBCs we'll get this week. We also had some objectives for Pinktober. This is a W from EA. Really easy to get done. You can support, of course, through those objectives right there. I absolutely love that from EA. And also, guys, one of the biggest Ws in news, actually, of kind of content. Yes, this is actually a Pitch Notes, a title update to FC24 that's coming soon. Of course, right now it just says PC version, but this happened with title update number one as well. It came out on PC, and then it was released on the consoles soon thereafter. Guys, looks like they are addressing issues of stability issues on the ultimate team menus. Hopefully, this means that in the next couple of days, an update will be released on console as well as on PC to fix the laggy menus, to fix the crashing menus and all the glitches and stuff that have been going on with the menus on this game, which is something that, of course, is very, very annoying. So that's nice. That might have been the biggest W of content from yesterday. I kid you not. So also yesterday, we did have a big time pack put out in the store. The biggest pack, technically, I think, based off of coin value, and maybe FIFA point value as well, or FC point value, the elite season opener pack, 285,000 coins. It's 45 rare gold players, all 80 plus. You get a couple of lone players in there as well. Guys, the pack percentages on this, and percent for a UCL Road to the Knockout player. That's the highest number that we have seen on some of these pack percentages. Now, of course, you did have the new mini release of cards added into packs, which could contribute a little bit to those percentages going up. Of course, it was the four cards of Lamer, who's extinct on the market right now at 190,000 coins. Guys, kind of similar to Saka in the sense of an extinct card. I think this card on the market, with the way these cards look on the market and the fact that he is Bayern with a play style plus, he is definitely going to be worth more than 190K. I know his nation links aren't that good, but he's Bayern, right? That would say to a lot of people, this card is going to get upgraded. Of course, Bayern being the team that they are, the chances that they have to get upgrades for this card, people value the play style pluses so highly. He's got four play styles and one of those play style pluses being Block. That's an incredible one to have as a defensive midfielder. So I think he's actually going to end up being more around the lines of like, if DePaul is 250K, why would that card also not be at least like 230K or 40,000 coins as well? Especially being more rare for being in a mini-release, I think he's going to go up and be around 250K plus once that price range is updated. But it is not updated right now, so he is extinct on the market. Now, also yesterday we had Mertens dropped into packs. He's 40K, looks actually okay for a 40,000 coin card. We also had Dodo, who's 85,000 coins as a Brazilian right back. He was extinct at 100K and people started listing him up. Guys, this is a card I would keep a close eye on this morning on Monday. As we head into the day, this card has only been on the market now for a couple of hours. As you can see, people started listing him down just a couple hours ago. Keep a close eye on this one because he might get to a really, really low point this morning if you want to trade with this card. He might get panic sold and go real, real low. Maybe like 65,000, 70,000 coins he could maybe drop to. And then he could rise back up from that. He was already 83K at one point, right now he's 85. I would watch out for more panic on this card today as people who've invested in him right away thinking he was going to get a price range update and be worth more will be panic selling that card off. So watch out for Dodo. Nice card, but 85K is too much in my opinion. We also had the Pedro Gonçalves, who was basically fodder. So four new cards added to packs, quiet day yesterday, right? Besides the couple of extinct cards and besides the honestly the pitch notes being the biggest W to look forward to, kind of a quiet day. Now the bigger news from the market yesterday and since content wasn't that great and maybe it's because a little bit of the panics selling in the supply is slowing down. Guys, prices are finally starting to rise on this game. We're taking a look at a couple of player prices right now that are up, right? Rafael Leal was almost 160,000 coins just a couple of hours ago. I'm looking at guys like Gui Hado, who's a card that I've traded with a lot who was, she was 35, 36,000 coins and now she's almost like 50K. I think she's like 46, 47,000 coins couple at 45 player prices are rising guys. And they're rising for a number of reasons, but it's not just because people are investing. I genuinely just think this is genuine team building and people buying players for their teams demand because they are upgrading their getting coins squad that rewards yesterday was definitely a part of this as we kind of thought would happen. Griezmann was 82K at squad battle rewards yesterday and Griezmann's now 95,000 coins. That was a big, big influx of coins to the market yesterday with a lot of people, a lot more people getting squad battle rewards and you're just seeing the market go up a lot because of it. Now Walker at 115, that's a buy in my opinion. After yesterday, he was 112 at his lowest point. I saw him as high as 125,000 coins. Not sure why he just dropped off 10K. That's why you love the fluctuations, but we're starting to see those prices rise guys like everywhere. Celeba 59K, Kunde 172,000 coins. You're out of packs cards are some of the cards that are rising up the most. What cards are rising up the most? Let's answer that question. Cancelo was 44,000 coins. Of course, he is out of packs because his inform is in packs. He's all the way up now to 52K because of that. So a lot of those out of packs golds. I think Hyunmin's son and maybe even Saka right now because Saka of course has the road to the knockouts. It's in packs. These guys are rising up the most just because there is less supply and they're still in very high demand for a lot of people. So GGs, if you invested in those, my guy, Erling Holland, who I still have on my transfer list, it's taken him a hot minute 470K. Like I was hoping for 500K plus. I'm still holding out because I think you can get there. But at this point, it's like, is it really worth me holding out for the extra 20 or 30K when I could have sold it? I mean, and use those coins to trade with anyways, small issue for me. They're having invested in Holland. But also what's rising on the market is just your high rated meta guys. We talked about it this weekend. The stuff that was going to go up first was the high rated because it is less supply. And it's what people would be upgrading to in their teams. Bonmati was 220 yesterday. Now she is 270,000 coins. That's one of the biggest rises out of the entire market yesterday. Tonali is a card, right? We talked about Premier League being very, very hyped at the moment. Premier League cards, 90 AK for Tonali all the way up to 110. And he's probably going higher than that today because he is one of the best, if not the best box to box defensive mid in the Premier League on this game. Guys, people are getting coins and they're upgrading cards in their team. And that's why you're seeing these prices really start to go up. Now the question is, will it keep going? And to be completely honest with you, I was alluding to it earlier as I was mentioning some of this. I do think that it is going to continue to go up guys. I really do. Now it's also, I'm speculative because what have we known the market to be in the past couple of days in this game? We've known it to be mudded, right? And prices haven't moved that much and it's been not a very fun time to either buy cards or it's been a very just like unsure time. And right now with the way prices are going, it starts to, it's starting to feel like this market has some legs underneath it and it has some momentum. And I like that going forward, especially because what is the weekend always bring us, right? A lot of the packs and the supply and that's kind of ending, right? A lot of less people open packs in the weekends for the new promo cards that come out on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. And then you get into the weekend. It's all about let me play my rivals and squad battles and gameplay to get these other rewards from these other modes. Not to say that there could not be supply. There could be a pack as we see again, guys. That's all. That's just how this game works, right? EA has the opportunity if they wish to drop packs and drop content on this game that could adversely affect the market on a moment's notice. But with the way things are looking right now, this is what we were hoping for. We were hoping for a market rise and to finally see it here is so amazing. And as I started to say, guys, I do think that prices on the market will keep going up today. Remember last Monday when we only had a portion of the game, player based on the game, prices went up a lot on Mondays. Actually last Monday, if you do remember, was the peak for a lot of these card prices that then ended up coming back down. Like, remember Diabi Monday and Tuesday, 73,000 coins for his card, right? And we've just been on a downslope, downslope, downslope since then. Now we're starting to go back up. And I think that's going to continue into the week. I really do because it just seems like the supplies ending, the panic is ending and you're going to see prices start to go up again. Now, will prices go back up like for the Diabi? Will he go all the way back to like 73,000 coins, especially with the Kudus SBC that's already been out and hurting his card price? I don't know. Will Messi go back to 250K? I don't know. Like a lot of supply has happened between then and now for packs that were open on the weekend. And I really keep mentioning supply guys, because to me it just feels like the supply this year is really the biggest aspect of why this market is as low as it is. It just seems like these gold cards got supplied into oblivion. And that's really what's hurting their prices and not making them rise up as much, right? We didn't see the big rise on Friday that we were hoping to see based off of previous years. But with all these new players on the game, the women's players being added in, much larger player pool. I think it's dividing interest and that's making players not go up as much because there's more other opportunities for people to use this player and this player and this player. And also it just seems like EA has somehow turned up the pack weight or something. And it's probably because there's more cards in general too, but it just like the supply seems to be so much. So to answer the big overall question, will the market rise keep going? I do believe that it will be. If you're trying to invest and you're like, Nate, where can I invest right now to look for an opportunity to see prices on certain cards go up? You can see I'm broke at the moment, right? I was late to the party for a lot of these cards. I missed out on a lot of the low prices as we just looked at like Kunde. I think he was 150,000 coins yesterday on Sunday, 152 at rewards. I missed out on a lot of those low prices. And if you're like, Nate, I did too. I want to buy some stuff. Where can I look? What I would tell you to look for is look on this popular page. Players drop down tab popular because a lot of these players, the ones that people want to use in their teams and look for some higher tier, higher rated and meta cards that aren't up that much. Like one card that I look at right now, Musiala, 69,000 coins. He links to Harry Kane and team league. He links to the Lamer card that's going to become un-extinct at some point. Yes, he had a low of 67,66,000 coins yesterday on Sunday. He's only up a couple thousand coins per card. He got a massive upgrade. If you're using a Bundesliga team, that's a guy you're going to upgrade to. I think he still has room to rise. I think Verran, even though he's 85 rated and a bit lower rated than some of these other cards, still has room to rise, right? Yes, he was 96K and he went all the way to 105. But if you can snag one of these at like 100K or maybe below 100K on a bid or a snipe, this is like one of the best, if not the best besides VVD, PrimeCenterbacks in the game. And we know there's so much hype around Premier League right now. I really like the Verran card.  That's what I would be looking around the market for. Now, some cards like Jude Bellingham, I think Jude Bellingham might go up higher in price today, even though he's already up a lot. He was 83, 84,000 coins at the squad that rewards time. He's going up because people think he's going to get into the team of the week. Watch the team of the week predictions that Footbin puts out today because last week Hakimi was in those predictions and his price absolutely exploded. Even if he doesn't end up getting into the week, the predictions on these big websites make a lot of difference as well. That's one place you can look at. So overall, I would say scroll through this list and look through some really top tier players that you think their prices could go up some more and then put them in your team or just invest in them. And I mean, really, it's just kind of a holding situation. We're hoping that the prices will continue to appreciate as we get towards the latter parts of the week. Informs, right? I really think guys, this year with the Informs, the new trend is going to be we have to buy them on squad that rewards on Sundays or around there because look at what happened yesterday. Harry Kane was 140 before rewards went down to 124 which I believe was almost as lowest point and now he's up into the high 130s, almost 140,000 coins again. I picked up a couple of metomas as you saw on my transfer list. I literally just bought him though because he was like undercut at 28,000 coins. His lowest was 27K. I know he's a little bit lower on Saturday. He was like 25 at his absolute lowest point but this is a card that I think a lot of people want to use because of the Anzu Fatih that is almost everybody is doing via evolutions and its metoma in general, a solid, solid card. I think the team week has more potential to rise too. Again, there still could be supply today. A pack supply SBC could drop and make some of these prices fluctuate but as we get towards the end of the week guys, I do believe there is room for the market to rise more and we might just be heading into that first weekend league with a nice market rise heading into that as there is more demand for people to build them by those teams. So I picked up some high ratings. I actually have a lot of Sam Kerr and that's like, Nate, why did you invest in Sam Kerr and Metoma? Because they were still low and I like their prices at the time of me getting on the market. I bought Sam Kerr on Saturday for 175K and sold there at 190. And so today when I saw our price at 175 again, I was like, okay, the whole market's going up. Sam Kerr is one of the cover stars on this game, 90 rated and her card price hasn't like gone up at all. I'm going to pick up a few of those, right? So that's where my coins are at the moment and that's kind of how I found that buy. Do the same thing. Look around the market. Look for some more buys like that. Gold cards, heroes, right? Heroes have started to go up but I still think guys, there's plenty of heroes that are on this game that have a potential to rise more. So definitely take a look through a lot of those cards as well and just invest wisely and smartly and kind of think through. Does this card check all the boxes? Is it higher tier? Is it meta? Is it rare? Because those are the things that are going to make these cards go up even more in the coming days as people continue to upgrade to new and better cards in their teams. Now let's talk about today on Monday. As we mentioned, maybe EA would drop a pack supply SBC that's always something we have to put in the back of our minds. They haven't done it since early access. Like, you know, again, I'll mention it. The Liverpool and the PSG SBC, we really haven't had much like that. There's been a couple of SBCs here or there that give out packs but nothing like those specific pack based SBCs. We could get one of those today but what I'm really looking out for is upgrade packs guys. We had the 78 plus upgrade that dropped last week. Only four times a day we could do it but it required was it seven or eight common gold cards. Hopefully today with a promo, I'm actually, I would be very expectant of upgrade packs today like almost a hundred percent chance that we get some sort of upgrade packs because it is road to the knockouts. A 78 plus upgrade would be something I would expect to see. A 78 plus double would be even better. I would much rather turn in like 11 non-rear golds for two 78 plus cards.  They're nice and of course you have a good opportunity to pack somebody from the promo team. Not a good opportunity. You have an opportunity, right? I'll tell you, I'll tell you this though. Just be careful doing upgrade packs this early stage in the game. Yes, you can go out on the market right now and bid on some of these non-rear golds. Try to win them at 300 to 350 and stock your club if you do plan to do some of those upgrade packs because I would imagine that they're going to require non-rears and that they would not require rares. That's something that they honestly shouldn't do especially this early in the stage in the game. I don't want to turn in rares for a 78 plus upgrade pack anyway. So maybe if you're going to do a couple of those stock your club with some non-rear golds but I wouldn't spend too many coins on that guys because again, this is the time of the year where we have to be careful with what fodder we're putting in SBCs and how many coins we're spending on fodder just because of coins being so important in this early stage of the game. Now quickly once again pointing out fodder like I said at the beginning as well this today's content and tomorrow and the next couple of days of this week are really going to tell us what EA is planning to do with this promo because we're still missing some runs road to the knockout players big clubs right we're missing like a Barca player missing a PSG player. We're missing a couple of clubs inside of here that we think would be getting a live card to represent that club in the big competitions. Now, are we going to get a team two? We're unsure of that. If we keep getting player species every single day like we had the Bruno Gheema Resh the Kudus the Andre Silva if we get another player SBC today then maybe that would signal to me that we're not going to get a team two and then we're going to get a different promo after this and then EA is going to sprinkle in like maybe other objectives and SBC cards inside of road to the knockouts this week to get us some of those players from those clubs and in that case if that were to happen I mean think about those big clubs there would be a decent amount of hype for some of those players even if it's not in the most meta player but if it's a Barca player or if it's a PSG player if that were to happen you could see some fodder going up so I still think fodder is an okay investment I don't love it because it is up a little bit 84s are probably the most popular investment right now and I understand why because they're literally discard price so 84s on 1.1 K bids or 1.2 K is a good club stock I still believe but you know watch 85s I actually think the 87s move the most like I mean 87s went up the most when the Kudos SBC came out on Saturday you can see Cobel was 9K went up to 11 yesterday they went up even a little bit more could they go higher today? Yeah maybe a little bit more especially as people get upgrade packs maybe they're more apt to do a player SBC so if we're going to get a lot more player SBCs fodder could be a buy and you could see it rise up a little bit more throughout the week this week but kind of just gauge that today we have content maybe because also we could be getting a team 2 of this promo and that would mean not as many SBC players this week and EA would put a Barca or PSG player in packs for team 2 so we'll have to see because right now the only things that have said team 1 are EA's website or like at the Instagram or Twitter post nothing in game says team 1 maybe we'll learn a little bit more about what's coming next later on this week but for the here and now the market is rising we absolutely love it it's great to trade and after we talked about it in yesterday's video hopefully you guys are motivated to trade and go out and get some cars because there are cards that are moving and they're moving pretty considerable amounts of course as we saw in yesterday and I expect that to continue as we go on through the week this week well I would love to back out of these menus but the game glitched for me here again so EA drop this update as soon as possible because I'm tired of the menus being this laggy but if you enjoyed today's video guys drop a thumbs up on it comment down below if you have any questions and of course subscribe if you're new I'll see you guys in a stream today that link's down below in the description see you guys there peace out
