It is now time for member statements. I recognize a member from, no, sorry, Beaches East York. Beaches East York. Thank you, Speaker. I want to congratulate Beach Metro News on its 50th anniversary. Beach Metro News is a little local paper that is a fixture of my community. It's a free paper delivered to our doors, paid for by the advertising of local small businesses, and it punches well above its weight. Times are tough for print journalism, but Beach Metro continues to thrive. And in the close to 30 years that I've lived there, I've always been thrilled to see it arrive. Yes, it features photos of local celebrities and events, but it does a good deal more than that. It goes out of its way to hire young racialized reporters via grants to support local journalism, and it gives them hard stories to write about. Contentious issues like housing, climate, and Metrolinx's destruction of Smalls Creek. Beach Metro did a fabulous job of covering all the tensions and pain that small businesses and precariously employed Bay residents experienced during COVID. The evictions, closures, lockdowns, grief, and loss, but also the extraordinary compassion, kindness, and volunteering of all our neighbors. Sometimes the news can feel like an onslaught of bitterness, nastiness, and horror, and we in Bay are so lucky to have a ray of local sunshine as well as insight. Thank you so much to Alan Shackleton and all the staff at Beach Metro News, and may you have a fabulous 50th birthday celebration. You have earned it. Thank you from all of us in Bay to see York. Thank you. I recognize the member from Eglinton Lawrence. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. The quorum, which occurs on March 16th, 17th this year, is an ancient Jewish holiday, which commemorates the saving of the Jewish people from the wrath of a Persian official who was planning to kill all the Jews in the empire. The story on which it is based is recounted in the book of Esther. The evil plans, however, were foiled by Mordecai and Esther, his cousin and adopted daughter, who had become the queen of Persia. This day of deliverance for the Jewish people is commemorated with a day of feasting and rejoicing. Jews around the world celebrate quorum by exchanging gifts of food and drink, donating to the poor, eating a celebratory meal, and public readings from the scroll of Esther, usually in a synagogue. Other quorum customs include wearing masks and costumes, and there are often public celebrations and parades. I have had the opportunity and privilege to attend quorum celebrations in my community, including at Cherishamiim synagogue, and have enjoyed the celebration and festive atmosphere. Quorum is a great holiday for families and is especially embraced by the young and the young at heart. I had the privilege of enjoying quorum with the former rabbi of Cherishamiim, Rabbi Stroukler, and his young family, along with all of the other congregants. For me, my favorite part of the event is always the costumes. So I want to say a happy quorum to everybody, enjoy, and celebrate as we all get together this year. Thank you. I recognize a member from Windsor to come see. Speaker, more than 100 years ago, a song became an anthem for trade union activists. That song, of course, was Solidarity Forever. In the early 80s in Poland, a group of workers formed the Solidarity Movement. They became the first free and independent trade union in the Soviet Bloc and eventually led Poland towards democracy. One of the leaders of that Solidarity Movement lives in my writing. Richard Kuzmierczyk was the union chair for 7,000 factory workers when the communist dictatorship in Poland declared martial law in early December, 1981. Civil liberties were suspended, thousands of tanks and armed soldiers poured into the streets. The police came to Richard's door and hauled him off to jail for two weeks. His family didn't know if he was dead or alive. Thousands of Solidarity members were rounded up, and during the subsequent years of martial law, many were killed. Richard Kuzmierczyk was declared an enemy of the state. In 1983, he brought his family to Canada and settled in Windsor. Two weeks ago, he was in Ottawa at the Polish Embassy and awarded Poland's Cross of Freedom and Solidarity. Richard was recognized for his leadership within the Solidarity Movement. His son, Eric, is the federal liberal member for my writing. On behalf of all of us here in Ontario's Provincial Parliament, I congratulate Richard Kuzmierczyk on his award and we thank him for his leadership, Speaker, Solidarity Forever for the union makes us strong. APPLAUSE Members statements, I recognize the member from Peterborough, Northam. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Throughout COVID, there were many adjustments made and our service clubs were no exception. Because of those adjustments, they continued to serve. One in particular in my writing is the Kinsman Club of Peterborough. The Kinsman's motto is to serve our community's greatest needs and they are living up to that motto. Every Saturday night at 7 p.m. from October to May, the Kinsman put on a TV bingo show on Global Oshawa, Global Peterborough and Global Kingston. The core volunteers from Manitowage to Brockville and just about every community in between distribute bingo cards to convenience stores, gas stations and grocery stores. And on Saturday nights, with the help of Czech TV in Peterborough, a group of 10 volunteers put on the bingo show. It's been a staple now for almost three decades. Prior to COVID, about 6,500 bingo cards were sold each week. But last year, TV bingo exploded with close to 30,000 bingo cards being sold each week by Christmas. Not only did the simple TV broadcast provide a needed distraction from the frustrations of COVID-19 for so many but also meant that the Kinsman Clubs could serve their community's greatest needs that much more. In Peterborough, $50,000 from bingo went to the CMA to help purchase one of the Mobile Mental Health and Addiction buses. And $15,000 went to the Court of Food Share. In Lindsay, donations of $20,000 to a place called home and $10,000 to the Court of Lakes food source were made. Who would have thought that playing something as simple as bingo during COVID-19 would have so much of a positive effect on our communities? Good job, General Manitowage. Well, thank you, Speaker. And they have arrived. These are FN-95 masks that have been produced by First Nation Partnerships with Dentex Canada. And I have them here available, and I want to get a page to provide this to a gift to the House Leader for the governing party. And I have some for everyone else here in the House. I've provided some for the clerks. I gave some to the Speaker. I gave some to the Pages. These masks are produced in two communities in my writing. Sakamak First Nation and Wikwem Kong First Nation. Both Ogima Osawa Minki and Chief Peltier are sitting in vaunted a strategizing about how they can approach this government, a procurement agreement to purchase some of these Ontario-made masks. Instead of getting these masks produced from other jurisdictions, we have them available here in Ontario. You should be looking at what we have here in Ontario and making sure that they are provided with the security that they need in order to continue maintaining their jobs and employment. In Wikwem Kong, they have over 30 employees. In Sakamak, they have over 30 employees. They are looking at developing a recycling plant as well, which will create another 40 jobs. This is a good news story. If anybody wants to have a contact in regards to ordering their own masks, get a hold of me. Matthew Owl, who's the President of First Nation Procurement Inc, is looking forward to receiving your call and your orders. Next, we have the Member for Ottawa, Senator. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. March is the month of the Francophonie. Francophone and Terrians have been fighting for a long time for what they deserve. I'm very proud to have worked alongside them in a government and in this house to continue in this fight. The Francophone community is always trying to get this right. For more than a century, they've been fighting against Bill 17 so that we can save SOS Month 4 of fighting this government when they removed the French service commissioner. The Francophone community here in Ontario continued the fight to make sure that her linguistic rights are respected and promoted. I'm very proud to see the Francophone flag here in this house. And my colleagues and the MPPs from Ottawa, Vanie, have worked hard to make sure that they are represented here in Queen's Park. This flag reminds us of the work that has been done and the entire work that is still needs to be done. I'm going to ask the members to please keep their private, the volume of their private conversations to a minimum, please. Will we please be quiet? Next, we have the member for Oakville North Bullen. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Speaker International Women's Day is next week on March the 8th. It's an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate women across Ontario for the incredible contributions women have made, are making and will continue to make in our communities. Women have made many great strides to achieve equality in society, but more must be done to ensure women are protected from harassment, discrimination and violence. February 22nd was Human Trafficking Awareness Day. And as we have learned, human trafficking is happening right here in our own backyards. About 66% of human trafficking cases in Canada occur in Ontario. To combat this, Ontario is investing $307 million in its anti-human trafficking strategy. We're also increasing community-based services by $96 million to support victims and survivors. This includes $46 million for new community programs and indigenous services and supports. During the pandemic, we saw that cases of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking increased. As we look forward to celebrating International Women's Day, let's recognize the community organizations across Ontario who provide supports to victims of sexual violence. In my own community, I want to thank organizations such as Halton Women's Place, Women's Center of Halton, Savas of Halton and Nina's Place for their critical work. Let's continue to work together to end violence against women everywhere. Next, we have the member for Hamilton East, Tony Creek. Thanks, Speaker. Speaker, the world is watching and finally paying attention. In 2008, the Russian military invaded the sovereign country of Georgia and in the Caucasus region of Europe. The world paid some heed, but little was done beyond condemnation and sanctions. This event was, in fact, the first war to be fought on European soil in the 21st century. Few people back then thought much more of the conflict other than just a border skirmish between a distant and little thought region. While the world focused on the battles in Iraq and Afghanistan, nearly 92,000 people in Georgia were violently displaced with roughly 20,000 people, mostly ethnic Georgians remaining displaced nearly 10 years later. In 2014, another important date on the historical calendar in Eastern Europe. This was the year in which the sovereign nation of Ukraine was first violated by Russian troops and tanks. At that time, the United Nations General Assembly condemned the annexation of Crimea. They reaffirmed the condemnation in 2016 and opposed the imposition of legal system of the Russian Federation and the negative impact on human rights in situation in Crimea. Again, the world paid little attention to this act of war. Now, with Russian tanks and troops currently pushing in on the capital of Ukraine, the international community is finally waking up. At a rally this weekend amongst the sea of blue and yellow, I saw the flags of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Slovakia, and many other country flags were all in front of Hamilton City Hall, hundreds of people. We need to do everything we can to support the free and brave people of the Ukraine. The government and all Canadians need to stand and solidarity and show the dictator and the oligarchs of Russia that their acts of aggression will no longer be tolerated. War crimes are being committed as we speak and it's absolutely outrageous. Thank you. The Member for Renfrew, Nipissing, Pembroke. Thank you very much, Speaker. After 15 years of the Liberals taking Ontario in the wrong direction, from day one, our government made a commitment that we would increase opportunities and remove barriers in the skilled trades. Under the Liberal government, apprenticeship registrations fell by over 40%, which has led to a massive shortage of skilled labour here in Ontario. You can't build the Ontario of the future. You can't build the homes, the schools, and the hospitals that people need and the transportation routes that allow the efficient movement of people and goods without the skilled tradespeople to build them. As we move beyond the pandemic, Ontario is on the cusp of significant growth. I want to command Minister McNaughton for launching the Crown Agency to improve training and simplify services for tradespeople. The skilled trades Ontario. And also streamlining the process that will allow tradespeople from other provinces to get their credentials approved for work here in Ontario. My son is a skilled tradesperson, a red-sealed carpenter, who gets up each and every day, looking forward to get to work. It's a career that is challenging and rewarding at the same time. Our government is sending out a clear message. We want people to embark on a skilled trades career and we want them to do it right here in Ontario. Ontario is the place to be. A great place to live, work, and raise your family, led by a government that values the important work you do and will always have your back. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Member Statements, the member for Brampton Centre. Thank you and good morning, Speaker. March 8th is International Women's Day. It's a day for us to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions of women across our country. And I want to take a moment today to celebrate some phenomenal local leaders in the city of Brampton. Women like Kathy McDonald, our local school board trustee for wards three and four, who has been a fighter against anti-black racism and oppression in education. Our local city councillor for wards one and five, Rowena Santos, who is the first Filipino woman elected to city council in Brampton. Dr. Kathleen Armitage, who was the citizen of the year in Brampton in 1993 and she has been a long time advocate for healthcare and healthcare services in our community. Doris Nikidia, the executive director of Families of Virtue, who's been servicing our Knightsbridge community and making sure that young people have all the resources they need to be successful. And of course, I can't forget my mom and my grandma. Thank you so much for always inspiring and encouraging us to dream big and believe that women everywhere could accomplish anything. This year's theme for International Women's Day is breaking barriers. So let's keep fighting for a gender-equal world where we can ensure that supports and programs for women and girls are invested in and that we fight to end gender-based violence. Let's continue to inspire the next generation to break the bias and to be the best that they can. Happy International Women's Day, everyone. That concludes our member statements. I hesitate to.


There's too many divisions that are up in the air. I feel like by this point, we usually know flat out who's gonna win each division, almost. You get what I'm saying. But right now anybody's got a chance. Not even a one seed is fully locked in, you know? Anybody can beat the Chiefs right now. Broncos can beat the Chiefs. You know, like Lions beat the Chiefs. Obviously the NFC team, this is a weird year. I will just say where the AFC got really competitive. Yeah, Miami has a chance, right? Like right now it's looking like Miami will win the AFC East. Lions are gonna win the division, yes. Minnesota is getting it done with Josh Jobs. We just have so many like underdogs right now coming out of the woodworks.


Good morning y'all. I'm out here in the field, Flunkers TV.  I've never shot one of these predators. There's a bunch around here. I've got the 6-8 in the back. Got the bionose we're gonna do some scanning. Let's see if anything comes up this morning. It's hot 75 degrees outside in October in the morning. Something's wrong with that. Weaponry. Flunkers TV. Steven. You know what it's about y'all? Look at this tactical shotgun. Ready to mess up a raccoon. I'll play a small game. Dude, I think it's still dove season. Shoulda. Oh, dude. Dove hunting with tactical shotguns. New video title. Flunkers has convinced me that this is the juice. So six and a half to eat more. We're gonna throw something down there. A tripod. That is the sex again. I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning. It's only nine rounds. Not ten. That's all I need. What'd you say? Why didn't anyone tell me it looked like a tool?   Yep, ballerina slippers on his hands. Okay, y'all. We have put in her time out here. Three other spots. About 30 minutes each one. It is not going down. But we still got a lot of daylight. Great day to be in the outdoors. Weather's hot, unfortunately. But don't worry. We're gonna figure something out. Now here's the shining moment. Rob, squeeze one off. I'm just, I'm very curious. Hit myself right in the face. I was just messing around.    Well, more importantly, more importantly, Rob's face is, I just wanted to know that the firing pan was working right. That was one freaking lucky pan. That was way lucky. That, I mean, my gosh, sometimes fate just has its way around things.  I don't know. We'll see. What exactly is tummy time? No, not so much. Tummy time is for babies to grow their little neck and back muscles. So they can like try to lift their little heads. You're supposed to get down on the ground with them so that they look at you. Look at those squirms. She loves to fart in that position. That's, I do too. That's really. Is this your farting position too? That's the best. Dang. I'm just gonna look right at this little furry thing. Oh, there's the light. Oh, I love the light. You guys enjoy that tummy, that tummy time? We're working on it. Tummy time, y'all. It's a real thing. I don't think I ever did that as a baby, but apparently it's pretty popular now. Tummy time. Exploring the woods. Y'all know what's up. I love to do this. Really what this reminds me of, what it takes me back to, is when I was a kid, when I moved to a new town in Alabama, my parents bought this house that backed up to a creek. And I would go explore down in that creek, eventually ran into what's called the Cahaba River. And man, I would just do all sorts of, you know, typical boy stuff down there. A sharpen sticks and catch crawfish, catch, you know, bass, bluegill and all sorts of stuff down there. But it was just walking around down there, exploring. That was fun. It's like what's around that next bend of the river? You never know. So that's really why I like doing this. We're gonna go check some trail crammers down here, see what was going on, stuff I hadn't been able to get to because it's been flooded. Let's get to hiking. Let's see, we got the stick out today. I got the binos. And this is just my little scout pack you've probably seen in some other videos. It's really my archery pack that's super light. I just carried my little camera that I've got in my hand. Got the rangefinder right there. Good to go, man. I'm really hoping since it's a hot sunny day today, we're not going to see any snakes. Hopefully they're in hiding. Maybe they're out this morning, but just about every time I come down here, especially when it rains and the water's high, there is snakes. That's why I like to carry a stick.  I can see why all the caveman depictions always have sticks in them because you can knock down spider webs. You can shoo away snakes.  I could probably push him around a little bit with this stick. See, we've got a little pointy end on it. So anyway, I've got two sticks. I've got a stick that I run with and a stick that I explore with. Stick that I run with is really light when you gave it to me. Stick I explore with is really stiff in case I need to whack something. That grass has gotten so high from all the rains. The lake is just right there. Super high. I don't think it's going down one iota. It's bad y'all. This also makes the mosquitoes down here absolutely horrendous. Listen to that water. Hoping I was going to get a chance to get my trail camera back. I think it's just floating down the river though. There's no shot. Fresh hog roots. Even smells like them. It's probably two days old. There's one fresh track right there. That actually looks like a deer track though. And the water's right here. What I've really been wanting to do is do a beach hunt. I think that'd be a really awesome video. The hogs are still rooting around in here. But there's no more beach. They've been snooting around up in here for sure. Just got to adjust. Figure out where they're going now. I mean obviously they're going right there. I honestly think I could just come right down here and wait. Just wait it out in the evening if I could withstand the mosquitoes. They would eventually pop out. LFD has got them in his yard too. They're just everywhere. There's only like a mile difference between here and LFD's house. So they're running down here. There's probably three or four groups. One thing that rain has done is brought some ducks up in here. When duck season kicks off I need to make sure I got to come down here. That'll be nice easy. Just get up. Come down here and do a little duck hunting. Come back. Eat a little breakfast. Hang out with Emmy and the fam. Instead of having to get up at like three and drive somewhere. Coming across another area where the floods just ravaged this place. Look at all the brush tucked up in there. It's all washed up into that big pile. Hog tracks. Got some coyote tracks. I've probably pointed this out before but this is how you tell a hog track from a deer track. Hogs usually separate like this. They kind of V out. Whereas a deer is going to be more like a spade. See if I can find one. Honestly don't even see a deer right now which is kind of concerning. That's mostly what I see on this trail. That's a little ways from the lake. Just a little oak thicket. Probably some acorns down there. Now this is a deer. This is kind of, it's not as easy to see. See it in my shadow right there but see how the print comes together. More squeezed together. That's a deer. More tracks. Fat hog tracks just right along the trail but there's something else you can see. You look really close in there. You can see the hair where a hog is laid down in here. They've laid down and you can see their hair. Their bristly hair. It's made an imprint called that a waller man. Hog waller. Just right on the road dude. Got it. Son of a, gosh dang mosquito on me. God that was a big one. Pterodactyl size. It's pretty clear to me there's been tons, tons, tons of activity along this path. This is heading towards my cameras. I'd call it an old activity area. My gosh these mosquitoes. Oh terrible. Terrible. Normally you don't have to worry about them. Middle of the day. There's a hog guy. Stuff is so thick behind me. They could literally be 20 feet away and they, they are. That one that I heard was literally that close to me. 4, 420 photos. I think a lot of that's going to be grass movement because the grass is growing up so high but we're going to see. Exploring a new area now. It's loaded with hogs. There's feeding and rooting spots everywhere. All up in here. Oh my gosh. Look at that. Nice soft sand. This is by far the most activity that I've seen and I want to say this is, I want to say this is really close to LFD's house. I looked at it on a map. I bet you'd be right. Probably within 500 yards or so. Another creek bottom and they were just going bonkers down here.  That is the deal. I have a renewed sense of excitement and hopefully we got some activity on this camera as well. Let's see what has been lurking. Oh we got a deer. Always have a deer. Oh my gosh. This is a deer selfie if I've ever seen one. Look at that guy. Look at his eyeball. Coming right up there. Come on Sally. Oh, here we have a nice buck. He looks really old. Good mass. Check that out. He's also, he's a six point. It looks like he's got a little bit of blading on his brow time. So just really old looking. His body looks like a six year old deer. Oh my gosh, there's another buck behind him. Whoo. Little bachelor group showing up. That picture I just showed, that's the seven point that was behind that other one. Just for reference on all you hunters out there, that was on a full moon. 10.25 a.m. That was 9.25 when that picture was taken. Come on snowder. There's no snooty activity. My fears came true on this camera that either there was no activity or they were just so low that I couldn't see them on the camera. There's thousands of photos on here. I'm not going to go through every one. And for the first time today, I ran up on a honk in real time. But I did find the juice to finally make this thing happen. It's going to be great for filming up high.  I'm going to get this done because of this bullet right here. I wasn't able to get a coyote today. We'll blame it on Stephen. He's shooting the gun last. It's probably his fault, right? I think next I'm going to go on a little crappie fishing trip. The bass fishing just, I don't think it's going to be good quite yet up here because of it just being hot. I'm going to wait until it cools down until I really start bass fishing again. But a little crappie trip. Lunkers has never been crappie fishing. Can you believe that? I think I'm going to take him with me. We're going to see how he does. Thanks for tuning in today, guys. If you want to check out the new merch, I'll leave a link down in the description for some new camo fishing for cats and to make every cat count shirts. Version number two. Keep it locked right here for more outdoor activity. Y'all and subscribe to the channel. Hit the ding dong for all the notifications. Hope wherever you are, you're having a blessed day of the outdoors. And I'll see you right back here on the next one.


Abstract the graphitic carbon nitride, GAC3 and 4, which is a two-dimensional conjugated polymer has drawn broad interdisciplinary attention as a low-cost, metal-free, and visible light-responsive photocatalyst in the area of environmental remediation. The GAC3 and 4 based materials have excellent electronic band structures, electron-rich properties, basic surface functionalities, high-physical chemical stabilities, and are earth-abundant. This review summarizes the latest progress related to the design and construction of GAC3 and 4 based materials and their applications, including catalysis, sensing, imaging, and white-light emitting diodes. An outlook on possible further developments in GAC3 and 4 based research for emerging properties and applications is also included. This article was authored by IWU Wang, Chen Dong-Wang, Li Fu, and others.


Well, many believe that the pill called NZT48 is the pill that was used in the movie called Limitless with Bradley Cooper in which he noticed a massive improvement in his memory and even increased IQ. Well, I searched for the pill, but I couldn't find it, so I don't believe NZT48 actually exists. However, if you want to improve your brain power, if you want to enhance your memory and focus, taking high-quality, nitropic supplements is the best way to do it because they're very effective, very potent, and they don't cause any unwanted side effects, and that's why I recommend them.


It's good seeing you, man. So OK, I just want to go back, right? So I remember when we first met in that meeting in Fox. And one of the things that struck me was just your humility. And just like, I'm like, wait, has that always been your approach, or is that just natural? It's always been my approach. I had been blessed with great parents. Obviously, it kind of set me on my way early. We could never get too big headed about anything. I grew up, obviously, my dad played professional basketball for 16 years. So I was around kind of the life that I live now in the industry that he was in. So I learned from him how he handled fan interaction, how he was a professional in every way, shape, or form of how he carried himself. And that rubbed off on me and my siblings well. And I've tried not to stray too far from that in terms of no matter what happens in life, I try to stay as even keyless possible knowing everything is a blessing. Everything that I do, there's no accidents in life. But I'm in this position because I've been blessed with the talents and the perspective that I'd be able to handle all of this, the success and the failure. So they set me on my way for sure. Got it, got it, got it. I was just, I mean, clearly they did because having known of you, but not knowing you when we had that meeting, it was like, wow, bringing that humility when you're one of the most recognizable people in the world, but you don't wear that. And I've been in Hollywood for 20 years, so most people who have done a fraction of what you do wear that, so I thought that was pretty amazing. But when did you get the idea of like, I want to move into entertainment. I want to start making films. What transpired and what gave you that idea to say, you know what, now's the time to do it? I mean, the genesis of pretty much anything I do is to try to inspire and find different ways to reach the masses, to use a platform that I have to kind of share the core values of who I am as a person. And so when the idea and the kind of approach that we wanted to have in terms of immediate space and getting into film, we wanted to do it the right way, stay true and authentic to who I am and what I stand for, and find projects that I really believed in and could get behind, not just as a face or just because, but there's a reason and a mission and a perspective behind it. And so obviously you're only good as the people that you put around you and have a great team that has kind of helped me get that far. You're one of the best teams going for sure. I know you know them. That happens. That's kind of how I approach on and off the court in terms of obviously I want to bring something to the table from a leadership perspective, but again, you're only as good as the people that are around you, you can be able to grow together and go through different experiences. And obviously you fall in that basket as well. So it's all about inspiring and hopefully anything that I touch that has my name on it or something attached to it that they know what it stands for. Yeah, I mean literally I think that's one of the reasons why we're aligned because that's why I'm in entertainment. Because I do believe entertainment's one of the most powerful mediums in the world. And if we can use it for good, the change that can happen in the world is just exponential. So going back, so I sent you the script, right? So what happened when you cracked it open and you started reading it? What was your experience reading this script? To be honest with you, this is probably one of the first scripts I've read in its entirety in terms of like, you kind of, I guess when you read them, you know kind of the flow. You kind of get a feeling, you know, at first glance kind of look, but my team would tell you when I sat down and read it for one sitting, read it all the way through. You made the script in one sitting. And that speaks to obviously the impact that this movie's gonna have for everybody who watches it in terms of, I was reading these words on a piece of paper and I could visualize the journey of each character knowing what John went through and the community that was around him, how they were affected positively in terms of just being touched and finding faith and finding things to believe in and whatnot. And it was a cool experience for me to follow the journey in script form knowing where this could go as a project. Right. So in sitting you the script and you're reading it in the first sitting, what kept you turning the pages about this story? Mostly was John's mom's faith first and foremost, how bold she was in terms of obviously when she goes to the hospital and here's basically all the bad news that's being sent to her about the prognosis of her son's chance of living. She wasn't taking no for an answer because of her belief in God and knowing that he can do miracles and he can do powerful things. I was really drawn to that. I have a very strong mom as well who instilled my faith in me. So I could kind of connect to that as well. My mom did the same thing with the belt though. Trust me, there was a little bit of that. I know that's not PC these days, but she's like, you gonna get this face in here. I've got a lot of that, a lot of prayer. My kind of fun stories are growing up. I'd be asleep in my room probably between like 10 and 12, 13 years old, and you'd wake up to a hand on your forehead and I'd hear whispering and my mom was praying over me in my sleep. And like, when you have that habit, you don't know whether to wake up or like to say anything. I know what's going on, so I'm just gonna stay quiet, stay still and understand what she's praying over my future and over my well-being. But like in terms of having a bold mom that kind of instilled that faith in me for rents and planted the seed, obviously I had to find that out for myself, but I could connect with that extremely well. And yeah, it was just a powerful testimony to faith, to be honest. And that's something that I gravitated towards. And so you gravitated towards it, you put it down and then you're like, okay, I'm in, I wanna do this. It took one phone call with my team and they asked me, hey, how'd you like the script? And I'm pretty sure they were shocked at how excited I was about it. But yeah, try to find a way to latch on and hopefully... Not latch on, man, partner up. Yeah, partner up, yes. And find ways to again help use this story to inspire. Absolutely, yeah.  It was cool because it was on the heels of our meeting at Fox. So I could tell by your energy and any projects that you get behind, there's gotta be a good reason for it. And that, we didn't talk about it before I read the script or anything, but in terms of knowing who's behind a project and understanding full integrity in terms of bringing us to life, that was, I could get behind that. Appreciate it, man. Yeah, definitely.  And literally after that meeting, I'm like, well, I'm getting ready to make breakthroughs. What do you think, man? And speaking of teams, because you've mentioned it quite a bit, in the story, even though it was Joyce's prayer that started, was a catalyst for John's recovery. It did take a team. It took the pastor, it took the firefighters, it took the community, praying around John and really rallying around his success. Why is teamwork so important to you? Because in your life, especially also your profession, you seem to value that almost more than what's good for you. It seems like you're asking what's good for the team. Why is teamwork so important to you? It's something that I've always just appreciated in terms of, it's not always about me. It's not, it never really is about me. It's about, obviously, I know what I'm capable of and what I can bring to the table.  That's true. Having appreciation for the value in others, I can learn something from the person next to me, on my right or my left. They can challenge me, the sense of accountability. It's how you grow and for me, that's where you really make memories in terms of, I can do all this stuff by myself. If I have nobody to share it with and nobody to kind of go back and say, hey, look what we did, I don't think there's any value in that. So I've always had that perspective from middle playing, AAU, baseball and basketball, all the way through now in the NBA, really understanding that there's so much good in the collective. And I value everybody that's a part of that equation to achieve success and achieve great things. Because again, when you come together and you have a collective goal in mind, that journey is the best part about it. That's the part you talk about. You don't even talk about, hey, remember when we were on the podium and we were holding that trophy? It was like, no, I remember all that work we put in the off-season, remember the five games we lost in the road and we had a players-only meeting, we talked about it, we figured out how to get through it, the ups and downs and all that, that's the stuff that you remember the most. So for me, it's always been, having had a hard time sacrificing for that. Right, right, right. Well, some do. So it's definitely unique and I think it's fascinating that your own personal belief in teamwork is mirrored so closely in the film. And that's also kind of what inspired, for me to want to say, hey, Steph, let's do this. Because I do believe it's about a team. I do believe, especially in this space when it's about, how do we get inspiration to the world? We're stronger together than we are apart. And so I felt like on a film like this, building a strong team between ourselves and our director, Roxanne, our other executive producers, Pastor San Rodriguez and Chrissy and Topher and the whole cast, like, let's stack the deck for as much success as we can so we can get a breakthrough. That's it. You know what I mean? I like that. Speaking of breakthroughs. Okay, so the movie's a breakthrough, right? I'm curious to see how you respond to this and what this feels like. There are a lot of people that may see this that are struggling in life and trying to go from where they are to where they want to be. Recently, you had a breakthrough performance on the court. 51 points, you know all the stats. What does it take to produce a breakthrough? And how does it feel when you're in that moment? How much is in your control or out of your control? Man, it takes patience and it takes a commitment to whatever the discipline is. And so for me, you talk about that game, 51 points, everything's clicking. All I think I can think about in that moment, one, this is so much fun. I'm gonna enjoy this, but more so in that moment, I think about the random Wednesday morning at 6.30 a.m. that I was running on a treadmill and threw up because I was exhausted and pushing myself to a limit that I really didn't know. It's all about just the patience and the discipline to stay the course, to have faith and belief in yourself that eventually something's gonna happen, the door's gonna open, you'll be prepared to walk through it. And for me, I do remember the last three I made in that game we're talking about. I was doing this, I was having a good time, literally in my head right after that possession I was thinking about that workout in the summer where I didn't wanna be there. I could think of a hundred million things I could have been doing otherwise, but I showed up there and that kinda kept me on the course. That's deep. What I love about what you're saying is that this idea of habits in preparation and consistency. And there's a book James Clear has out, man, if you ever read, you gotta read it, it's called Atomic Habits. Atomic Habits. About how small habits make big changes. And he talks about this idea that so many people wonder, okay, when's it gonna happen for me? Versus just create a system that produces discipline and habits and your habits will take you everywhere you need to be. That's beautiful. That's the tough in this generation too, especially when you see, like from social media perspective and everything, you see the end result. You see the minute clip of me on the court doing all these crazy celebrations. We don't see it throwing up. 100%. Don't see the process. And you don't see how many edits of the trailers you do. Right. And all the conversations you have around how breakthrough is supposed to come to life, you see the finished product. And so if you can talk about it and understand like the habits and a consistency of your daily efforts that sets you up for that success, you can get there. Love that. I love that. I have a quote that says, you and I are in control of only two things. How we prepare for what might happen or how we respond to what just happened. When things happen, that's up to God. And so I love what you're saying in that it's about the preparation. Put yourself in a position to win and whenever it's up to God, God's gonna do it. Same thing with Joyce. Before Joyce went in that emergency room, she was doing a women's Bible study where they were studying Beth Moore's book about believing God. And what does it mean to believe God? What does it mean to take God at His word that He is who He says He is and will do what He says He can do? So before she got in that emergency room, she was already practicing breakthrough prayers. What role, you've been so vocal about your faith. What role does faith play on a day-to-day basis for you? Faith gives me the right perspective in terms of I could really tap into what the world says about me and what they value as what success means and things like that. And I'm on a continual journey of really understanding how to be a better human being, a better person, no matter how many points I score or whatever the case is. My faith allows me to stay focused on why I'm on this planet to begin with. Because if I were to listen to the noise and to continually feed into what is rewarded in this life on earth, material things or whatever, fame, money, all that type of stuff, like I would be lost. And I think for me, I understand that I'm on this, I have the skills that I've been given for a reason. I have this platform I have for a reason. And that's to shine light on who I am playing for on a daily basis. That's not about, I would say, that's not about me. It's about what that means in terms of what God's doing in my life through all these different things. And so, again, we all know too much is given, much is required, but no burden is too tall, too heavy. And so for me, every day is a challenge in terms of continually to stay focused in things, being fed with the right things, staying in the word, all those type of vibes. But again, I'm on this stage and this platform and have these talents for a reason. And I have to shine light on that reason every single day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Totally understand it, man. And it's interesting, being here from the Bay, when I decided as a kid, hey, I wanna go to entertainment, it wasn't just about going to entertainment, it was about how to do it. And as a kid, I got baptized when I was, I think, 12 years old. And my intention was like, okay, how do I use faith to go where God wants me to be and do it? But to the point you just made, it's all about perspective. Because as you're in whatever profession or live in life, it's so easy to get distracted. It's so easy to focus on things that really aren't the things.  I'm speaking in terms of how God wants us to be. One of the things that I think is fascinating about the film is by the time you get to the end of it, everyone says they're crying all the way through. It's a Kleenex and a popcorn film. So what do you think audiences will take away from this movie? I think first, no matter kind of where you come from, no matter what your faith or what your experience in faith is or who you believe in or whatever, there's somebody in this movie that you can relate to. Again, it is an emotional and tear-jerker or something. You're gonna be touched. You're gonna be moved by obviously John's story in terms of his comeback and the miracle that takes place. But the depth of how his story affects his community around him, I feel like it will resonate in terms of whatever's going on in your personal life. It might not be as catastrophic as something that John's going through. There's something that's testing your faith that this movie will hopefully inspire you to get in state of the course, to have that belief, rally around people that are in your corner. And just believe, man. I think the power of the community and power of faith is strong and it's something that this world needs all through and through with the chaos that's going on in our world. Amen. You'll be moved by this movie. It's gonna be awesome. Yeah, man. Man, appreciate you, man. No problem. Right on.

This is the second part of the dissection of the infratemperal fossa Let's take a look at the nerves which are in the infratemperal fossa As I told you the nerve most important is the mandibular nerve The mandibular nerve enters the infratemperal fossa through the foramen or veil and Immediately after entering it divides into the following branches Let's take a look at the first branch the small branch. This is the Buckle nerve the buckle nerve Comes out between the two heads of the lateral teregoid between the upper and the lower head And it runs like this and it comes out on the cheek and it supplies the skin of the cheek is the buckle nerve The next one is the lingual nerve which I have picked up here You can see and if I lift up the lateral teregoid you can see even more. This is the lingual nerve This is a major supplier of the tongue and the floor of the mouth carries common sensation Then we have the inferior alveolar nerve This is the one which runs with the inferior alveolar artery through the mandibular foramen and the mandibular canal and it divides into Dental and incisive branches which supply the lower teeth dental branch supplies the posterior pipe and the incisive branch supplies the anterior Three teeth and then it again comes out through the mental forever and becomes one of the mental nerve It supplies the skin of the chip that is the inferior alveolar and just before the inferior alveolar enters The mandibular foramen we can see it's giving out us another small branch here This is the nerve to mylohyoid which supplies the mylohyoid muscle and the anterior belly of digastric in the floor of the mouth We can see yet one more branch and that is this one here This is the auriculotemporal nerve and we can see the auriculotemporal nerve It carries secretive motor postgangionic fibers from the autech ganglion The autech ganglion cannot be seen here because it is located deep and it is located media to the mandibular nerve But from there it receives fibers which run in the auriculotemporal nerve and the auriculotemporal nerve Then supplies the secretive motor fibers to the parotid gland and we can see that's the reason why we have retained this part of the parotid To show you the fibers from the auriculotemporal nerve Apart from supplying secretive motor fibers to the parotid gland the auriculotemporal nerve also gives a cutaneous branch which runs up like this Along with the superficial temporal artery and it supplies the skin of the lateral part of the scalp in front of the ear So that is the auriculotemporal nerve The autech ganglion is the parasympathetic ganglion for CN9 which carries the parasympathetic fibers for the parotid gland If there is a penetrating injury of the parotid or any surgery of the parotid It can ensure the auriculotemporal nerve because auriculotemporal nerve is supplying the parotid gland And during the healing process, regeneration process The auriculotemporal nerve can establish abnormal communication with the great auriculotemporal nerve which supplies the skin of the parotid In such situations whenever the patient eats the parasympathetic impulses as they are coming through the great auriculotemporal nerve When they are stimulating the parotid, instead of stimulating the parotid, they will stimulate the great auriculotemporal nerve And then the patient can have sweaty of the skin over the parotid That is not a very common condition and that is known as gastatory sweaty or the auriculotemporal or the Frey syndrome So that is about the auriculotemporal nerve In this correction though it is not a part of the infratemporal fossa, but since the parotid is here This nerve that I have picked up here and it is very close to the parotid, the deep part has been removed This is the facial nerve, the facial nerve emerges through the stylo-mastered foremen which is here The facial nerve emerges through the stylo-mastered foremen If I put my finger just here I can feel when my finger is running This is the stylo process and just behind is the master process And so therefore this is the stylo-mastered foremen And the facial nerve enters the deep part of the gland which has been removed And we can see the two branches and then it will supply the skin of the face So this is the facial nerve here though it is not part of the infratemporal fossa Another nerve which is present in the infratemporal fossa But we cannot see is the corda timpani which carries secretomotor fibers to the submanipular sublingual salivary gland from CN7 And it also carries taste from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue that is also not visible here So these are the nervous structures which we can see Now let's come to the venous structures which are present in the infratemporal fossa So let's start off from here again. This is the superficial temporal vein The superficial temporal vein runs with the superficial temporal artery And again it enters the parotid gland which again has been removed And inside the parotid gland it receives this vein that we can see here This is the maxillary vein which trains the pterigoid venous flexors And after that this becomes known as the retromandibular vein. All these things are inside the parotid. The parotid has been removed And to trace the retromandibular vein, retromandibular vein receives this vein here This is the posterioricular vein Ideally the retromandibular vein should divide into an anterior and posterior division And the posterior division should receive the posterioricular vein to form the external jugular But in this case the posterioricular is directly opening into the retromandibular vein And the retromandibular vein in this case is continuing down And further lower down we can see that the retromandibular vein is dividing into an anterior division and a posterior division So this posterior division is the external jugular vein which will open into the subclavian vein And this anterior division is meeting with the facial vein and we can see the facial vein here And once they unite it becomes known as the common facial vein which will open into the internal jugular vein This by the way is a communication with the anterior jugular vein So that is about part of the venous system Let's take a look at the pterygoid venous plexus In most cases the pterygoid venous plexus cannot be seen because it is drained of blood in the cadaver However we can see a few of the venous system One way we can see here this is coming from the deep aspect and we can see a few other veins of the pterygoid venous plexus This pterygoid venous plexus is the venous counterpart of the maxillary artery in the infrared temporal fossa It receives all the veins which accompany the branches of the maxillary artery This pterygoid venous plexus is located in between the insertion of the temporalis muscle and the pterygoid muscles This pterygoid venous plexus communicates with the cavernous sinus by means of emissary veins which go through the base of the skull The importance of the pterygoid venous plexus is because it has got three important communications It receives communication from the inferior of thalmic vein from the orbit It receives communication from the deep facial vein And it receives communication from the inferior alveolar vein which accompanies the inferior alveolar artery So, therefore, infection of the orbit, infection of the face or infection of the lower teeth can spread to the pterygoid venous plexus And from the pterygoid venous plexus, it can go through the emissary veins and can lead to cavernous sinus thrombosis which can lead to cranial nopalities of CM3,4,v1,v2,6 and ocular sympathetic which is known as Horner syndrome So, that is about the pterygoid venous plexus And as I mentioned, the final drainage of the pterygoid venous plexus is the small vein, the maxillary vein which unites the superficial temporal to form the retromatibular vein So, these are the various venous structures that we can see in the infrared temporal fossa And finally, just to complete the story, this is the parotid gland This is the duct of the parotid part of which has been cut here just to make space And this is the other part of the parotid gland which pierces the buccinator muscle to open into the oral cavity This was superficial to the infrared temporal fossa So, these are all the structures that we can see in the right infrared temporal fossa Thank you very much for watching If you have any questions or comments, please put them in the comment section below Dr. Sanjay Sanyal signing out Have a nice day


Hi everybody, Tasha from Start of School Crochet. Welcome to the giveaway, yay! I meant to do this the other day and I didn't quite get to it because I've been super frazzled busy. So I hope everybody understands. So I put together a little slideshow because I've never done that before and Lynette Cousar was teaching me how to do a little bit of spicing up my lives.  So, but let's get on with it. So I think you can see the first slide. So welcome to the giveaway. I'm gonna go over to giveaway. I did kind of a really, I always forget what I'm supposed to look. I did kind of like a really quick spinner thing. So what I did was I took all of the comments and there's this thing on the internet, the interwebs where you can grab all the comments and then do a spinner wheel. So I asked people to comment on four different posts. I went to each post, excuse me, I went to each post, grabbed the, spun the wheel on each post, grabbed that winner and put that winner in a pool. And then I took the four winners from each of those and then I spun the wheel for those four winners. So the first two winners, I don't have a part one, sorry. The first winner is going to receive a $50 gift certificate to crochet.com. The second winner will get a lifetime membership from me. And the last two, I didn't wanna just have two winners because I wanted everybody to win. It's gonna get a free pattern code from me. So when you see your name as the winner, I want you to leave a comment or message me your email address so I can send you your prices. Because if I don't have your email address, I won't be able to send you your prices. Okay, so let's get on with it. The giveaway announcement. Here are the winners. And I think I messed that slide up and it says here are the winners, but that's okay. So let's see. So here we're gonna do this spin. Now we're gonna do the spin. This goes really quick, y'all. Really quick, like 11 seconds quick. It might have already even gone. Let's see if it lasts. So the first one was already picked. This is picking the second one. So, can it do it already? Technology, forget about it. Let's go back to this. Okay. So the winners are Emily Jean Quinby wins the lifetime membership.  The second, the third and fourth runner up gets the free pattern and that's Maggie Longshore and Jocelyn Zane. I hope I said that right. The same, the name, that's pretty name. So I wanted to talk to you guys about the Lenox Snow Blanket. This one is a design I did that's in the hidden bundle, in the hidden bundle. And I'm super excited about this one. I wanted to show you the slide. It's going to be free on the blog pretty soon. It's a C2C version and this is a mockup because I'm learning to mock up my patterns so that it will, so they look like crochet, like I crocheted it but honestly, I just didn't have enough time to crochet this blanket, but I wanted to get the pattern out there because I know so many of you guys are just like super, super fast crocheters and but this one I'm definitely going to be making. I just need to find the time. I'm thinking I might turn this one into a, what you call it, wall hanging too. So I just wish I had a thousand hands like and a thousand, I wish I had a thousand hands to crochet everything with. So this one's coming out soon and it's going to be part of, it's a part of the Hidden Treasures Block Hop so you can get that with the bundle. You can get it early if you want it but it won't be released until later on next week. So that's an exciting one. The next slide, I wanted to show you guys some of the awesome Jingle All the Way submissions that have come in and people working on it. Not a lot of people are working it right now because it's everybody's busy, which is understandable but I'm just happy that people sent them in and I think but I messed up the name on that tally one. It's not two tannies. Sorry about that. Oh, I think I'm missing the slide. Done it. Hold on one second. Something more quick. Oh darn, well it took out one of my slides. I'll just have to put it in the comments below but there were two more pictures of the buses and they were really cute. Hey, I wonder if I could pause this morning. All right, well let's go on. The Hidden Treasures Block Hop, so that's happening now where you get three patterns. You can see there's the let it snow and all the different patterns that are coming up. So far we're on day four and you can see up in the little, I can't really point up there. Let's see, it's not really working. The Polar Capolette is today's pattern and that's by y'all at this point. I'm pleased right now. Some days I work or I can talk to me if I can. Molina Straight of Straight Hook, that's her Polar Rush Capolette. Am I saying that right? Cape Lit, Cape Lit or Capolette? How do you say that? Please let me know, because I don't know. I used to pronounce it something completely different. This is ADB y'all, sorry. Okay, so the Hidden Treasures you'll find under the Xbox the spot with a little crochet like that. When you see one of those graphics in the hop you're gonna click on it and it will give you an extra treasure like a free pattern, a discount, things like that. There were some trouble the past couple of days with the downloading and stuff like that but don't worry, I appreciate everybody who sent out the messages that they couldn't get out or they were having trouble downloading. So I went through and for everybody who purchased the bundle I created a how to do it kind of set by step process and then also on the ice crystals in me I also did a step by step on how to because if you've already been a member of the infinite universe and you go to log in it'll just give you an error and what you need to do is you need to verify your email address. So if you verify it, it'll automatically just log you in then go and change your password, make sure that you remember your password or save it to your computer and then you'll be able to log in and access your patterns anytime you want. So I hope that helps. So let's see what's coming up next is the sweet comments everybody left. So Emily Jean Quimby said so cute and these are the comments that comment pictures were really cool by the way. And then Rebecca DeVoe said hi, thanks for the great patterns and ideas. It's so fun to have connection to other hookers. Huffers. And then Jocelyn Zame, Zamey, I hope I said that right. Then hello from New Zealand. It was a lovely day here today. I live in a retirement village and today our busy needles group. That's a cute name. Met up. Everyone brings a craft project to work on. Today I was making a Christmas doggy coat. That sounds cute too. I was crocheting but others were knitting. Sometimes there is even a quilt maker making or working on her beautiful quilts. One of the ladies brought, brought banana cake for the afternoon tea. It was a fun afternoon for all. That sounds just delightful. Thanks for sharing that, Jocelyn. Because that just sounds really nice. And I would love to go to New Zealand someday. I love Lord of the Rings movies and they filmed it all in New Zealand. And those are just, it's just a beautiful, beautiful place. And then Maggie Longshort said, pretty. So those are the comments you guys left and I appreciate those. Thanks everybody too because it really made Facebook happy. It makes Facebook happy when you comment on things. And that's kind of why I did it because I thought, well, I want to make Facebook happy and I want to make everybody happy. So that was the perfect way to do it. And then let's see what's next. Oh, wait, I think that I missed this one. No, I didn't. Okay, there we go. So tomorrow, Joe's Crafty Hook is having a snowman crochet along in the crochet along with us group.

Or what, yesterday? Yes, it was yesterday. Now it was Friday and then it rolled into yesterday, but we had a good time. The video games and he keeps wanting me to crochet things for him like immediately. And I'm like, that's not how it works. It doesn't happen immediately. He goes, as he was falling asleep, he kept saying, please, just please crochet it for me, Grandma, please. And I was like, Sammy, that's gonna take like three hours for me to do. And he was just like, no, it won't. I promise. I was like, yeah, I don't think so. I know that you don't. Anyway, so that was fun though.  What he wants me to crochet him is a husky. So I'm going to create a husky pattern for everybody.  I don't know when that's gonna happen, but it's gonna happen. All right, y'all, happy Christmas, merry, happy holidays, merry Christmas. And I hope everybody has a splendid, splendid Sunday evening. Bye, if you have any questions, let me know, put them down in the comments.


Hey guys, just Nate, A.K.A. the Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. Hot off the press is news that we kind of expected, but it seemed like EA never really wanted to tell us. It took leaks to tell us that today is the day. Team of the Season warm-up series is going to begin, which kind of signals the start of Team of the Season, if you will. Because a lot of people are going to start saving packs for Team of the Season today, and that's kind of what this whole promo is about. So that's what we're going to talk about today, but what packs will EA re-release anything impacts like a best of, and how's that going to impact the market all that and more in today's video. If you're excited for it, drop it thumbs up and subscribe if you are new. Let's talk about Thursday's content really fast because EA took away some of the content that they released yesterday because they made a mistake with it. And we got to talk about these Player SBCs. We had not one, but two sets of showdown SBCs. Now there's only one drawing for me right now. Frederick Jensen versus Sebastian Haller. That is the first showdown that was released yesterday. Guys, these are not real-life games between these clubs. These are virtual games.  And these cards update based on those matches. The first one being Haller and Jensen. I mean, they're both really cheap, 30,000 coins for each of them. I did Haller instantly. Jensen might be a good complete as well. Decent playstyle pluses, ping pass and power shot. So boom, there you go. Pretty easy and pretty cheap and the potential to upgrade with, of course, whoever wins that game, getting a plus two. Now the other SBCs dropped yesterday were Alexandro and Caputo. And EA made a mistake with these. And if you're wondering, Nate, where is this Alexandro SBC? Because a lot of people were doing it straight away when it was released. EA had to take it away. Here's the story, right? There was an issue with the title and descriptions of the Alexandro and Caputo SBCs. They took them away while they investigate and it said impacted players will be messaged in game in the coming days. So they really just said they're going to figure out what's wrong, which we know what is wrong. When they released the SBCs yesterday, it showed a picture of the Caputo card. But the title and description of the SBC said Alexandro and vice versa. Now, here's the thing. As you look on foot, Ben, and you see the price, you notice that the Caputo's cards a lot more expensive than Alexandro and Alexandro is cheap. EA meant for Alexandro to be the 90 or 89,000 coin SBC, but they messed up, right? And they made him the cheaper SBC, only an 85 rated squad. So quickly as this SBC came out yesterday, I was able to get this card done. It is a decent card. He can play center back, which is where a lot of people were hyped to do this SBC, especially for the price that it was. Whipped pass plus and jockey. I mean, he's got power shot slide tackle, rapid and first touch, not really a center back. The way the card is formatted, except for the work rates. I mean, 90 pace is nice. He's got really good dribbling and passing and the whipped pass plus two. But for the price, it was kind of like, okay, this could be pretty good. Also, people are putting this card into the unleashed potential evolution taken into an 89. And if the UVA eSports team, however this is being played, I think there's a loading screen and talks about the eSeries. If UVA win this game, this card would go to a plus two. So if he's an 89, if he's evolved to an 89, he could go to a 91.  I don't know when these SBCs are going to come back. I don't even know what they're going to do for compensation for this. Like if you did the Sanjo SBC like a lot of people did, then, you know, it kind of said caputo's name at the top. So yeah, guys, I don't know what they're going to do for that. I guess we're going to see a message in game. We're still awaiting compensation in some other areas, especially for like the David Beckham fodder from a couple of last week or a week and a half ago. We're still awaiting some of that. So that was yesterday's content in terms of the showdown SBCs. Now we had yet again another player SBC. The last golazo player can't skip this one because it's actually a decent SBC too. Hidetoshi Nakata, we finally got the golazo hero Nakata that we were looking for. It is also a one-squad SBC and he's decent, right? Four-star, five-star with Finesse Plus and Ping Pass Plus. If you run a Serie A team or if you just need somewhere to put some fodder, this is not a terrible place to put it. 34 aggression is kind of the funniest stat on this card, but he has really good stats elsewhere. 97 volleys, 94 shot power. And of course, he has that Finesse Plus, which we a lot of us really, really love. So not a bad price here, 74,000 coins for that Nakata. Also, Marquis matchups gives out a jumbo premium gold players pack. That is a really solid pack for MM's this week. If you want to go ahead and grind that, you've got Newcastle, Tottenham that are in there and some other ones as well. They've kind of stopped. I don't pay attention to Marquis matchups that much, but they've kind of stopped requiring players from specific clubs. It's more so just the nations and the leagues, which I think helps Marquis matchups end up being a little bit cheaper. So that was yesterday's content, very SBC based. A lot more players than we really expected, but it was honestly that mistake with the Sancho that made things the most interesting. Now, a couple of things happening on the market, because we had Europa League games yesterday. Some players lost, some players won. You can tell who lost, right? Milan lost. Rafael Liao is down bad from over three mil to about 2.5 mil. Roma Lukaku, in the other hand, is up in price. He's above 600K after he was 500K yesterday because Roma won. Same thing happened to Darwin Nunez. He dropped a ton. This guy was 1.3 million coins. 1.3 million coins this guy was. And now he's down. He was under 500K. I actually picked a couple up for 480,000 coins and I did sell one just recently at 533K. I'm going to take the no risk approach here as we're heading into this team of the season. Promo, vibes and everything. I'm going to take the money and just make a quick flip out of it. That's a nice like 25. I think maybe 30,000 coins of profit somewhere in there for that card. Not bad, right? I also bought a Messi yesterday for 5.1 mil. Tried him for a couple of games and sold him for 5.5. So I got to play with team of your Messi who I have not played with yet this year and I was also able to sell him for 125K of profit. So that was kind of my day yesterday on the market. I was trying out the Messi and watching those wrote to the final movements. There's going to be more movements like that today. But none of those cards that had games this week like the Cruz, the Pedri, even though Pedri and Barca won, right? There's no upgrades coming for these cards today. Unless EA mess up, they're not due upgrades because they have only played the first leg and it's qualifying for the next round via the second leg and aggregate scores that take them to their next upgrade. So that's yesterday. That's in the past. Let's talk about today on Friday as it is a promo Friday guys. But before we get to team of the season discussion and team of the season talk, we've been really looking forward to a player of the month, SBC, that we expected to be coming today. And it is coming today, but it's not exactly who we thought. It is not Hyunmin's son. It is not called Palmer. It is instead Rodrigo Muniz from Fulham. Deserved, definitely so deserved. But he is our player of the month winner and his SBC will most likely come before the 6 p.m. content drop today as it normally does for prem play of the months on Fridays. Now, here's my hope with this Muniz card. He hasn't had a special card all year long. Not even an inform, which I feel like is weird. If you're winning a player of the month award, you've played pretty well during the month. You probably deserve an inform. He's not getting, he hasn't had one. He is getting a player of the month today though to kind of commend all of his success over the last month. I hope they juice this card like they did the Harry Maguire player of the month. If you guys remember that Harry Maguire player of the month, it was a very good card. Everybody went to go and use him because EA boosts him up so much. And I really hope that that's what they do today to Rodrigo Muniz. He is Brazilian. He is Premier League. His base card isn't that great. He has flair play style. He's three, three, six foot one, medium, medium. I don't know how much they're going to boost the card. Hopefully it's high 80s. Kind of like that prediction shows and hopefully the SBC is cheap. If that is the case, I know there's some really hype Premier League strikers right now that are really good on a low budget. If that SBC is very popular, if he gets a really good boost, just be careful with some other Prim strikers. I'm not saying you have to sell Robbie King, but I'm just saying if that SBC is good, you might see some players like this Robbie King drop off in price, not that he can drop off too much more because he's one of the cheapest 91s in the game. But other Premier League strikers that still hold some value, especially there's a lower tier range, I would be careful with that just because who knows what that SBC could do to the market. Everybody loves a cheap Premier League striker. So that's content that should be out today before 6 p.m., maybe an hour before that. Let's talk about team of the season, guys. Team of the season warm-up. There was no loading screen yesterday, literally nothing telling us what was going to happen today on Friday. It was going to be a surprise, maybe. And then a couple hours ago, we had a leak. We had an official post as Golaso was ending and as we head into what we thought was maybe going to be team of the season warm-up, it was confirmed that Tot's warm-up is today. And that was by ASY foot trader. He's the only person really on Twitter that has been talking about this. But it's probably pretty much factual, guys. It makes sense as well as it is being leaked. He says it as expected the next week will consist of warm-up SBCs and objectives. Now, if you want to know more detail about what Tot's warm-up was in previous years and we dove into the details of what you might even see today that we're not going to go into today because we already covered it in yesterday's video. So make sure you go and check that one out. If you want more details on what exactly Tot's warm-up is going to be. But it's all about saving packs and saving for team of the season and getting hype for team of the season. But it maybe could look a little bit different this year. And I do want to talk about how this is going to impact the game today and what in the world SBCs and objectives we might potentially be getting. And of course, are they going to re-release cards into packs? Now, the first thing that I want to cover is some new pack code that was dropped yesterday. I don't know if this has anything to do with stuff that we're going to see in this Tot's warm-up series promo today. But it looks like EA, as they're dropping a Tot's warm-up promo today, is starting to prepare for team of the season itself. You have a Tot's guaranteed pack that was added to the code with all four versions of team of the season cards packable from it. Tot's cards, Tot's moments, Tot's live and Tot's plus. You also have Bundesliga and Premier League, which looks to be footchamps rewards. Three player packs from team of the season or Tot's moments and then singular player packs as well. And then there's a live Tot's player guaranteed and there's a couple of other packs in here as well. Fate and Fantasy Encore pack. Guys, there's a couple of packs in here that are all focused around future stars, Fantasy FC and ultimate birthday, icons and heroes. The Fate and Fantasy historical pack, the Fate and Fantasy Encore pack and then the big one, the Encore player pick grab bag. I guess that encompasses more than just those three promo cards, but I have a hunch about today's Tot's warm-up series promo with these pack code items that have been added. It makes me feel like we're going to get packs to do today via SBCs and objectives that we're supposed to save for team of the season. We'll talk a little bit more about those in a second, but I also feel like we might be getting cards rereleased today and it might be around those three promos. Future stars, Fantasy FC and ultimate birthday. That's just my hunch. Now let's talk a little bit more about packs that we're supposed to be saving like what packs, what SBCs, what objectives are going to be dropping today that we need to like get hyped about to save for team of the season when it actually starts. Right now the only things that I can think to would be that would be released today would be these e-figs packs which is very interesting because last year they released league specific packs and to my knowledge, there aren't very many of those if any at all added to the code unless they was from very early on in the year and we haven't seen those surfaced in a while. I don't know guys. I don't know what kind of packs and stuff they're going to drop today because if they drop an 82 times 11 e-figs pack, is that really going to be a pack that a lot of us want? I think like I tweeted out yesterday, a lot of us would rather have what we had last year, the 81 times 11 Premier League and Bundesliga and you would start to be able to stack those packs for the specific leagues and open them and save them until it's prem tots. You open the prem packs, Serie A tots, you open the Serie A packs and you have a better chance of packing those specific team of your players when the SBCs or when those players are in packs. So my question is today, what packs are EA actually going to drop? If we go and take a look at the upgrade section, I mean, yeah, there's certainly some SBCs that are expiring today like the 83 plus team of the player pick. I'm very curious to see what that is replaced with today. The 83 plus pick, the 81 plus double upgrade are going away today on Friday. I want to check the 84 seven. Okay, the 84 seven is still going to hang around one more time. We're going to be able to do this three more times. That would be a pack you could save for team of the season as well. If you wanted to, if you're starting your pack safe today, which I think a lot of people are going to do and I'm going to be honest guys, this promo is going to bring people back to the menus on ultimate team because it's team of the season related because people know these promos happen pretty often and it's going to get people in that mode of team of the season and started thinking about saving packs for tots. That's really if you want to do that what today is going to kind of start. To be honest, I might start doing that myself as well. It kind of depends on what is in packs like the go lasso cards have been in packs and they will be until 6pm content today. So I'm probably still going to open some things until then, but after content I might start to decide to change depending on what packs we get out. My opinions on what packs I want to open and what packs I want to save. But again, that's kind of the whole premise of this. I'm just curious to see what actual packs they release and if it's worth it to save. Now, here's the biggest question. If they're dropping SBCs, we need fodder for those SBCs, right? Absolutely. Now, here's the question. Do we want to invest? Now, if there's not a whole lot in packs and there's not that many people opening packs, you would think that could be a really good opportunity to invest and fodder. I do think like I mentioned in yesterday's video, I like the 85s. I like the 86s because I think there's potential here. There's a little bit of, I guess, risk because you're still going to be in a promo or in a place where the 84-7 is giving out a tons of 84s and 85s. The 81-plus player picks are still around.  It's going to take some requirements, some specific requirements inside of SBCs like an 85-rated requirement for multiple players to make these go up, in my opinion. I do think that 85s, 6s, 7s, maybe even 88s with how cheap they are are potentially investable today. I'm not going to put a ton of coins into it. If I do anything myself, it would probably just be buying some and club stocking. I think a club stock, especially because we all want to have all these packs in SBCs that they drop for this warm-up series promo. We're going to want to do them and they're going to be repeatable most likely. This happens almost every single time before a big promo like Team of the Season. They drop an 82 times 11. They make it like once or twice repeatable either per day or once every other day. As you get towards the middle to the end of the week, fodder prices start to go up because people's clubs run out of that fodder, even though there's so much everywhere in this game. I think fodder could be a good investment. I like the 85s to the 88s for that regard because I think these are going to be cheaper packs that we're supposed to stock up on and save up on. It's not going to be like the 90-rated fodder goes up that much in my opinion because it's not like you're dropping Icon of SBCs in the game that people are going to have to spend hundreds of thousands of coins on. It's more of like those 50 to 80 to 90 to maybe 100,000 coin SBCs. They're going to be draining coins in this next week. So that's kind of what I'm thinking there. Now, Inforums, another question a lot of people are asking, Nate, should I invest in the Inforums? Because they're down and this happens almost every single Thursday. Inforums do drop off. They're like 27,000 coins for Inforums and a lot of people are looking at this and saying, Nate, Inforums are no longer going to be in packs, right? Well, technically the Team of the Week that is in packs right now will be in packs until Wednesday. I could see a world in that EA re-releases Inforums into packs as a part of the best of today, which could make more Inforums drop on the market and maybe make Inforum prices drop themselves. I'm not convinced that investing in Team of the Weeks will be a good thing unless I see today at Content Drop that there is multiple of the SBCs that people will be doing to save for tots. Like if some of those upgrade packs today require Team of the Seasons, they're multiple times repeatable. Then I would say, all right, now it's a time to go and buy some Inforums if you want to try to make an investment because they could go up. But I also think even though the Team of the Weeks are no longer going to be coming out, EA is going to maintain that 83-plus Team of the Week player pick in the SBC section that will be a lot cheaper and more craftable than just going and buying a Team of the Week off the market. So I'm not going to invest in Inforums, but I couldn't see how that could be a very lucrative place to invest here in the next day. Today and into the weekend, depending on how the SBCs shake out. So we'll watch this market closely. We'll watch fodder very closely today and into the weekend, but that's just something to kind of keep on your radar and be careful with because Team of the Seasons are coming out and Team of the Seasons are going to be probably allowed in these SBCs, tots slash Team of the Week requirements, which will maybe hurt the Team of the Prices we will just have to see. Now, how is it going to impact the rest of the market? If we get cards re-released today in packs, well, you guys know what happens, right? When cards get re-released, they tank because number one, people who have them tradable see that they're in packs. They panic sell, they undercut because they know there's new supply coming in and that new supply that is coming in makes the prices drop just because they're in packs. Like that's how it works. More supply, not as much demand. Now, I will say this, a lot of the market right now is actually, it's up. Guys, the market is up in a lot of different areas. If you take a look at some graphs, it looks like the peak of the panic kind of happened on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Griezmann was down at 897,000 coins on Wednesday.  I know this is just one card, but as I'm looking around a lot of the market, I'm seeing kind of the same thing for a lot of these cards. Mane on Wednesday was 430K. He's now 610. Royce yesterday was 120. He's now 148. Goretzka's up almost 80 to 90,000 coins as well. Even some of the Golasso cards from Team 1. I mean, Coler was 220. He's now 260. Cafu is up almost 200,000 coins. Campbell is up. Ococcia is up. Charlton is up. A lot of the market, kind of like the panic selling ended because people realized, oh, wait a second. We're all panic selling and undercutting for Team of the Season and it's actually not quite here yet. So that's kind of why the panic stopped, but then people realized, wait a second, I got to go play some games. I got to get my rivals' games in. Got to get my champs' games in for this weekend. Get those rewards. Get that fodder. Get those packs. And then people are going right back out to the market and there's way less panic. So that little bit of demand on these rare cards, especially, just kind of makes them kick up in price. This Benzema was 300K and now he's like 330, 340. So he's rising up. The Messi that I traded yesterday, Messi was 5 million coins flat, even 4.9 million. And then went all the way up to now selling at about 5.4 to 5.5. You're seeing a lot of the market everywhere, really, low tier, high tier, middle tier, everywhere in between. The most meta cards are starting to have a little bit of a bounce back just because there's not as much panic. Now, with this coming out and with the word tots and team of the season and getting people excited for tots, there could be some more crashing on the market today. But guys, if I'm going to be honest, I don't think there's as much crazy crashing for team of the season warm-up series right now as there was last week. Some of the lowest prices that we saw on some of these cards may have already happened. Now, there could be more panic coming later on this week and we'll cover that very closely as we get closer to next Friday, which is most likely when team of the season will be out. And we're going to learn a whole bunch of new information about team of the season today that we'll have to be very careful with and just kind of see how it's going to move. But I do think that maybe we've seen the lowest for at least this week on cards that were dropping in price a couple of days ago. I still believe that team of the seasons will drop the market even further except for a couple of spikes here and there on the beginning of Tots and the second week of Tots. But as we go out through team of the season, it is almost a guarantee that prices on most cards will probably continue to fall just because of how cheap Tots cards are, how many of them there are, and the other great content that we get during those times. Wow, Lionel Messages had a crazy rarity spike on this version as well. The foot birthday was 3.7 mil and now he is 4.5. Probably not selling there, but you get the idea. The rare meta cards are going back up in price and it's because there's demand and people are shelling out the coins to go and use those cards. So there could be some more drops in the market today. I'm going to be mostly liquid just because, again, I'm heading into team of the season. We're heading into team of the season. I don't want to spend a ton of coins right now. I would not say that this is the time to buy players that you really, really want for your team that are on the more meta top tier. Once we have it leaked and confirmed that there's going to be three play style plus players, three play style plus cards on the cards, I just think that that's going to probably hurt the market even more. So I'm not going to sit here and tell you guys to invest in players that you want for your team just yet because we are still really right near the team of the season which can still hurt the market a lot. So we're really just going to wait and see what are the SBCs that dropped today? What are the objectives? What is in packs? And what is EA requiring in those SBCs to see how the market is going to move? So I really like fodder, guys. I do. I think fodder is like one of the best investments, to be honest, right now in this game. And it seems counterintuitive because fodder is so easy to get. But also I think there's going to be so many people coming back to the game in the next week to get on for team of the season and they're going to want to get these packs. And fodder is going to be what they need to get those packs and SBCs completed. So that's a shorter content Friday video for you guys today. We'll be streaming today, playing some footchamps, trying to maybe complete the end of the Miaham SBC. I'm almost done there, 13 of 16. I need the 84-7, so I might have to open them today. But those would be a nice pack to save for team of the season. I'm still going to hit 80-plus player picks. And of course, all the objective packs that are out and around as well make it really, really easy to get fodder right now. I'm almost level 30 for the Insignia. Do I get to pack at level 29? I get an 85-4. That's huge, right? So still a decent day to grind and still playing through on this game. Evo's as well. Don't forget, if you're trying to do an Evo, some of those expire today, too. So make sure you check that out. And it's going to be a slower week. Let's be honest. It's going to be a bit of a slower week, I imagine, because EA liked to do this as we talked about yesterday. Pull back before the big-time promo. But I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that because it's team of the season that is coming after this pullback. And there's still going to be a lot to talk about and a lot to do on this game. They might even drop like a Todd's Warmup Cup. Like, that's objectives are also a part of getting these packs. It's not out of question that we could have another cup or some other gameplay-related way to get packs for team of the season. So we'll just see how fancy EA get with it today on this game. But if you're excited for team of the season, like I am, drop a thumbs up on the video, comment below if you have any questions, and subscribe if you're new. I will see you guys at Twitch Stream today. That link is, again, down below in the description. It's been Nate for the Counting. Peace out.
