I hope you're enjoying The event this month. I've been enjoying it. I got a I got to take one minute to talk about that I mean co-reconvergence this month has just been People enjoy it but I Mean the the the participants this year have they've all done given extra effort all the videos that they produced for the event has They've they've done more they've gone above and beyond, you know, they're they're usual and I've been very appreciative of that and I I'm every time I do one of these, you know, I always You know, I kind of fret and I worry, you know, is it gonna be done on time? You know, is is it gonna be, you know, something that's that that's acceptable or people gonna, you know Put their best effort forward, but they always do they always do and I should expect that they would because the people that Participate in these, you know, they're good at what they do, you know, they run their own YouTube channel They have their own audience and so They I should expect that they know how to make good videos and then they do So I've been I've been very much enjoying the event. I hope everyone else is too next year there's some folks I I wish I could have included this year but next year I'm definitely gonna get them in but I wanted to be a bigger event next year. I want to include more creators more contributors I also want to organize it a little bit better so that everybody Can keep better track of, you know, what what's happening? Hi, Rob Something you want to make Okay, all right, thanks Rob. I'll look for that email. I I Not review on a non-joe toy for fun. I I have a couple that I thought might be fun to review Oh a video like retro blasting did I like to I Susan has actually brought that up So she thought that might be fun to do that kind of thing. So I'm permits on me. Let me try to look at that. Hi Dennis. Hey, it's Dennis Peter. How you doing, sir? Okay, and I've got a lot to show you guys I've got a lot to show you guys and it's it's the I might as well get started, okay? this is all stuff that has been sent to me just this month and I have to apologize. I've got mosquitoes and bugs like flying around this I'm doing this out here because this is actually the only space that I have enough room And that I won't get a lot of interruptions from people inside So I just have to do it out here for now. So Let's let's start. Let's start. This is really awesome. Okay Stop motions. Yeah, I I've actually had some ideas for stop motion and like little action scenes with the figures That I just haven't been able to To do just because of time constraints. Okay, I'm gonna start first of all a lot of a Lot of this stuff is thanks to One person in particular who's sent a lot of it Mike Lopez has sent a ton of this stuff. I hear ever since I got the Defiant He's been sending me parts of the Defiant so I Got to make a special thanks to Mike Lopez. He has sent a ton of stuff this month And he also sent something that was very special that doesn't have anything to do with the Defiant But there are a ton of Defiant parts in here. So I am going to Open something that That wasn't sent by Mike I want to I want to show you this first. All right This was sent by Isaac and I don't know if if you wanted me to use his I Should probably be careful about using people's full names. Not everybody wants to have their their full name on On the show so but Isaac sent this to me And this is pretty special and this does have something to do with the Defiant it is in a VHS cassette Case but it's not a VHS tape and there's some Some literature The lives the adventure Okay, what's in here though is really cool. It's two action figures actually There we go. Yeah And wait wait might think of it where are the file cards? Yeah, that's hard top and hard top and payload They are Not quite complete The I got the the backpack for payload The microphone for hard top is a repro But as you may know those the real ones are very hard to come by And I've got the backpack and I've got two Reproduction controller arms oops to repro controller arms for that. However Among the extra bits of my Defiant I found a One of the non-repro original Controller arms floating at the bottom of a plastic bag And this one I'm pretty confident is the genuine article. So that is Amazing, how's that to start it out? this The help that I've been getting on the Defiant has been Overwhelming just Incredible And you know when I got the Defiant I knew it was it's a fixer upper, you know It's needs quite a bit of quite a few parts But with as much Defiant stuff has been coming to me I still don't know that I can finish it by January But it's gonna be a lot closer than I thought to being done and ready by January So thank you Isaac for that and the file cards That's that's really really kind of you There has been I have a system here There's the stuff that I'm gonna open and when I after I open it, I'm gonna put it over on this side so try to Stack these in a way so that I have room I've gotten so much help with the Defiant that I have to do something special Thank you Ward MPJM, thank you. I appreciate that I've got to do something special This is the kind like like the community is defiant like the core like the shell of the vehicle You know I got but so many parts are coming in That That it seems like it almost belongs to everybody because so many people are contributing So I've got to find something special to do to repay everyone for that This one I'm a part that was ordered for me by Mike Lopez And it's I think that's the front or maybe the side and then I think that's the front crawler windshield Some of this may not seem very exciting to you because I'm just gonna be showing you a bunch of parts But if you've ever tried to complete a defiant, you know how how difficult it can be to find some of these parts So to me it's really exciting, but I do have some non-defiant stuff to show you to so tune in stay tuned for that Stay tuned for that Let's look at Okay This is from Chris And this yeah, this is some okay This is from Chris and he wrote me a letter it says Brian I'm very excited to see how your defiant will come together I too built mine up from parts if you remember. Yeah, I do. This is Chris Been a friend of the channel since almost the very beginning He says you will take great joy and sometimes great heartache in piecing together But when the day comes when you add that final piece You will have an even greater appreciation and fondness of it Then you had if then if you had bought it complete Glad to add these parts to that journey your friend always Chris. So thank you Chris And let me show you what parts you think he sent the revolving door and This thing I don't remember what it's called and This is one of the laser doors Hi, Red Hood I'm sorry. I'm We'll try to keep up with your comments as much as I can and I'm sorry if I miss any of them There's door and And this guy Pretty sure I remember where that goes And there's one more Couple more in here. Oh, that's one of the the rocket cones That's one of the things for one of the seats. So we've got more defiant parts and thank you Chris and Chris if you this You know who you are and you know how much I appreciate your Your kindness and I enjoyed meeting you at Joakon. So thank you very much Let's let's move on Let's move on. What shall we do now? I'll show you one that I got today. Just came in today This This is incredible. This is from Michael in the UK I really should have asked people if I could give their full name, you know on The show but but so since I didn't I'll just try to use first names or screen names if if I know what they are This was totally unexpected He sent me today from the United Kingdom. I Don't know this carefully because of cardboard It is Hey Robert. Hey, thank you. Thank you for subscribing Robert. I'm glad that you are here This is the action force headquarters. There's the instructions on the back. This is the cardboard headquarters for Palatoy action force and This is freaking amazing. Hello straight down descent. I This action for stuff I this is I've said this before and I'll reiterate. This is like legendary to me. I of course. I've seen pictures I've seen other people's reviews of this stuff But to actually see it is something I never thought I would do I never thought that would happen And it's it's mostly here. It's it's not 100 percent complete But Michael said that he would send me parts as he finds them But it does also have some of the plastic pieces to it and this I mean this just solidifies that I Need to do another action force review I just have to I've got so much action force now That I just it would be a waste if if I didn't I really need to get this stuff in front of the camera And do something with it So thank you for that Michael. I have to pack this away carefully. This is It's made of both. It is cardboard, but it's like that thick thick cardboard It's a bit more sturdy than some of the cardboard play sets that we got here in the u.s. So I'm going to carefully slide this back into the envelope and Michael sent me a sea Thank you everyone for showing up by the way. I appreciate this I'm gonna try to start making this a Regular thing Thanks, Tony, I I I also unsubscribe to myself after the heat viper review, so I understand Okay Michael wrote this was my favorite action force toy as a kid I thought you'd enjoy seeing it face-to-face. Sorry it isn't complete, but it's hard to find the plastic components I'll send you them if I find them. Good luck putting it together. Thanks for the awesome channel. Thank you Michael This was completely unexpected so awesome, and I'll try to when I have them in it Put it together So that I can show what it looks like assemble at least as as Assemble as I can get it with those parts so that's If that came today, and that just totally blew my mind Let's let's look at some other stuff Okay All right, this is okay this I believe this is another defiant part I should have some of these I've opened but some of them I have it so oh Yeah, yeah, okay This is And this this would be from Mike Lopez again. This is this is both of the one screens for the crawler On the defiant So I think he actually ordered two of these in order to get both of them. So So thank you for that. That's I've been waiting. I haven't put any of these on On the defiant yet because I've been waiting because I wanted to show you yeah Mike Lopez is the same guy if you will recall that sent me the The two handle bazooka for zap which made the zap review possible. I look like a Pepsi commercial. Okay, okay? All right, this is more defiant parts, but it's from somebody Somebody else this is from Tim And just look what he did with the box This is cool. It came like this That's nice. That's all I like the extra touch there and I worked up a trade with Tim to Send him some of my extra figures and he sent these to me And he says hello, HCC. I hope these parts get you Close to get you closer to finishing the defiant sir I never had a shuttle but somehow ended up with parts from collections I or me and my son can't wait for the review me too Keep the videos coming sir. And yo, Joe. Thank you very much Tim so Yes Range viper I will be posting update pics and also I need to I need to update the the parts list That's another thing. I haven't done yet Yeah, well we're gonna go into outer space Tony so I think if you go into outer space There's always a danger of lobotomac showing up, you know that he lives there so We have Okay, this is good. We got we got one of the red guns And and I don't remember what this piece goes to I don't remember it will come back to me But anyway, we got that piece one of the red guns We got We got one of these radiators and Mike Lopez actually sent me a couple of these So I have some extra parts, and I'll probably be looking to trade some and so The duplicate parts are not a problem because I may be able to trade some of the parts that I'm missing Then we got a just whole bag here of Of extra parts I Think that's the center fin There and some just some of the red plastic parts So I won't open that because I don't want them all to all fall out But thank you for that Tim and we are going to Keep working and finish Finish building our defiant because that's it's becoming our defiant now Hey Max free rose goes music. Thank you for staying. I'm glad you made it And I gives me an opportunity to thank you again for all those 90s figures that you sent So, thank you Now this let's see this should be more defiant parts. This is from Ike okay from Ike It says dear mr. Lauer hello there. I enjoyed your channel for a few years now. Thank you for sticking around that long I appreciate it He says welcome. Oh very nice to have done an informative welcome to the defiant club I hope you will accept these this guy's To pilot such an awesome set. Sorry for the repro parts When I say and this goes okay, this goes with the other thing. I'm sorry I got I got this letter mixed up the one that was from Isaac. That's this one that the one in the The VHS cassette so thank you for that Yeah, the the the two figures, I'm sorry, I read the the letter out of order One thing that I do though with all of these letters that you send to me. I keep all of them The parts will go, you know where they need to go. I'll put them on the defiant, but anything that you write to me Like in a letter form. I keep that And I'm saving that I don't want to lose any of those things This is one of the rods That goes to what? It these rods go to I want to say the the gantry doors These the gantry doors hinge on these So that is Cool, and I believe Mike Lopez is the one that ordered that for me. So thank you. Yeah, the gantry doors. Yeah Yeah, the I was thrilled that Joberg got Thank you, Tony. I'm glad you're enjoying it Yes, I I'm trying to be really cautious the I was thrilled that Joberg got theirs But since we were all going to be together in Chattanooga for Joakon I was hoping that that they might help me inspect You know any defiance that I found there so that I could make sure to get a good one And see, you know, what hearts might be missing so But then, you know after You know arranging that and I didn't find any There were some defiance there, but they all sold before I could get a crack at them I'm sorry. Was there a question? Ah Okay, this is what was in the tube ladder So this would deal with the The elevator part You know, I wrote down all the names of these parts But that doesn't that doesn't mean I remember them. I know what they are. I know what they go to But they all have names. I actually I used the names that were in the the blueprints Um Repro, okay Dale doesn't matter. I have repo pro part For some hard to get you don't really care, you know If I were just restoring it for me for display, I wouldn't care Since I'm doing it for a review. I I will try to have The real parts if possible Hang on the dog wants inside. Let me let the dog get right back Hey, come on. Okay. That's exciting stuff, isn't it? Okay. Hey, we got 76 people watching. Hey, that's awesome Hey, next time it's going to be more entertaining guys. No kidding. I'm new at this. I'm new at this Um, yeah the the elevator these words that uh, yeah, um, okay This is okay. This is not okay Let's I want to go ahead and go through the defiance parts because I've been itching to open these And show you because I want them to put I want to put them on the defiance I haven't I've been holding some of these for almost a month So I can show you guys um But I'm ready to put them on I want to put them on the vehicle Um, well the mobile command center be the next item. Uh, I do um That was an option. I was when I was thinking about uh, so That's a definite maybe of course, I can't tell you definitely because it's always got to be a surprise um Archangel hello Yes, like christmas. Um, this is like the Oh, it's upside down one of the elevator parts elevator goes here um And I believe these parts actually connect to the gantry doors Which I don't have yet And those I'll probably have to invest myself in getting those Yeah, the mcc is definitely on the list It's it's got to be one of the big first of the year reviews, right? It's just too big Uh for just a regular run of the mill during any given week review It's got to be something special. It's got to be a special review for the mcc I just don't know if it'll be the first of the year this year But it's it's a very much a possibility My hope was to have the defiant ready, but Even though I think the defiant's going to be close. I don't think it's going to quite cross the finish line Excuse me before um before january 1st And since I'm having a Pepsi for our live stream, I will be belching my way through the entire thing So sorry about that Uh, next uh, we'll be next big will be the swamp masher Yeah, I do like it. Uh, it's it's lost like three patreon polls already, but I like the swamp master I know the colors are are a little bit weird Um, so yeah, maybe I'll do that and I'll just shoot it at an angle like a like a low angle so it looks big Um Thank you Verde is 71. I'm sorry if I mispronounce anyone's name I'm from oklahoma. Uh, we do not speak english well, so I just I do the best I can Okay, more stuff. All right now. I showed you one Yeah payload and Like I said, if it were just for me and like just sitting on my shelf I would be absolutely fine with repro parts and that like the hard top repro microphone Fine, but you know since I'm doing it for a review and since I'm going to be showing it super close up with an hd camera and probably need to Be patient and find The the real one. Um, so that's that's one thing This one reason why it's probably not going to be ready by january But but I'm going to try to get it as close to ready as I can um Okay, uh now this Is actually well, I don't know if I want to take it all the way out of the bubble wrap This is the Elevator piece for the other side So there you go. Um, and these are both uh, micro pez gifts. So thank you, Mike In fact, maybe I should just dedicate no I want to dedicate the, um Defiant review to everyone who helped uh, and I'm keeping track um, and I'm going to give everyone all the credit they deserve for all the help that they did with this um, it's been overall like You wouldn't believe it. I I show up at work in the office and there are two three more boxes and they're waiting for me Almost every it's just incredible um And I want to make sure everybody understands how much I appreciate it. I don't Come on here and beg for help. I don't come on here and Say hey, send me stuff I just I appreciate your help and I hope that when you send something You do feel like it's something that the entire community can enjoy because I am going to share it I'm going to put it on Um put it on the show so that everybody can see it Uh, and I I certainly appreciate it. It means a lot to me. Um I yeah difficult. I'm sorry max three bows ghost music music said it was difficult to integrate into his play scenarios Yeah, I I understand. I was like a joes in space kind of guy big fan um Anyway, but um, hold on There we go. Um Yeah, I didn't do joes in space all that much. So, um, that would have been not so easy for me as well Um, I think maybe that's one that I can appreciate more now as an adult now as an adult um Yeah, sorry you can see at jocan. I saw a lot of people at jocan, but hey, you know, maybe there's a be an opportunity in the in the future um Okay, let's let's keep going. Let's keep going. Um Are we done with defiant parts? Not quite not quite. This is another micheal pez I'm telling you that guy has just been uh keeping a steady flow of parts coming in Hi david Yes, it's it's uh peanuts. See somebody else remembers peanuts in pepsi I'm not the only one My dad turned me on to that and I don't think he even does that anymore He'd probably think I'm a little bit weird for continuing to do that. Um, this is the right and left fin For the uh for the shuttle those fins To be a little bit of a pain as they break the tabs where they go in tend to to break So it's nice to have some intact fins Uh, let's put them away carefully so they they so they don't break James yeah all right Now believe it or not, we we had so many boxes when we started But um, we're almost done Once they get through the this and I would like to have some time just to sit and Communicate with you guys read your comments um And discuss and maybe we maybe there's uh some gi joe news that we can discuss or something. We'll Okay, um, let's look at Something that doesn't have anything to do with the defiance This is from chuck I believe he goes by pensive ruin on on youtube And this is something that This is pretty special. This is the modern figure subscription service rock and roll it's the modern version of basically version two of rock and roll Hey, hey, yeah, there he is right there in in your comments this is Sorry, I got mosquitoes this uh as I Voted before um, ah, jeez. Sorry the um My goal is to review every vintage Uh toy us domestic release Vintage gi joe toy 1982 to 1994 And when that's done my mission on this channel will be complete And I've already announced that the last one that I will review when it comes to that will be Uh rock and roll version two because That was my last figure That I ever got As a young person That was my swan song was gi joe. That was my exit And um the first video that I ever did that on this channel was um Was breaker which was my first gi joe figure As a kid so be nice book ends to do my first and last And there's the modern version which I can look at um In that review when the time comes which by my reckoning is still several years away So um There's that and so thank you for that Uh, it's got the accessories and file card in there It's looking good Uh, and I will try uh to get some pictures of it. I'll put it all together I'll try to get some pictures of it um to put on uh facebook and twitter So thank you for that uh very thoughtful and thank you for for remembering that That's something that That I was going to do that's going to be my eventual last review So thank you and Uh, there's more Okay, somebody who uh is a friend of the channel Who hasn't been doing very well has been having some medical issues Has been in the hospital for quite some time now Byron Kellogg he doesn't shouldn't mind me saying his full name because I have before Um with his uh he has got a youtube channel joe motion videos 82 and um He recently um He recently um Do I have an ebay wish list? Uh, not yet. I should have one. Uh, but I'm I'm very lazy and slow about these things um Anyway Byron, uh recently celebrated The first anniversary of his youtube channel And he sent me This Which is oh it's nicely packed I won't take that. Well, yeah Yeah, okay It's the 1982 howl heavy artillery laser Very nice no stickers um it so it's naked, but it's very In excellent just excellent condition All the parts are there uh and that included Uh, where are they? Where are they?

I want to thank you for helping me get back into collecting gi jo again You're welcome. Uh, you shall help me remember yfl in love with gi jo I have so many memories with them. They also gave me great memories with my grandfather Who was a real gi jo to me since he did serve in world war two. My grandfather did it as well Um, enjoy the gifts and uh to help the show. Uh, you have my permission my full name in the video Okay, in that case, I will see he he thought to give me permission to use his full name So uh brandon knight, thank you for that Um And this is cool And this again solidifies why I want to I don't want to lose the letter. Um, this again solidifies why I've got to do Another action force review It's mr. Barron iron blood himself And this is complete. It's got the little uzi submachine gun and it's got his um His helmet which is not really a helmet, you know, I'd seen pictures of this of course because I researched Um Yes for timmer. Hey, hey Um, of course, I did research for it and I saw pictures of the helmet And I always thought it kind of looked funny and now I really understand it. Um, it's basically Kind of a soft vinyl Thing I don't want to I don't want to damage it, but it's like a a strip with a little loop and buckle Let's see if we can do this that's it That's the helmet and then it buckles And until I had this in hand, this is why it's so cool to actually have these uh Action force items in hand because until I have this in hand. I did not understand completely how Uh baron iron blood's helmet worked. Uh, let's carefully re Buckle that And there is the man Baron iron blood. I just I have I I love these um early action force figures They're just they remind me of Star Wars, of course And star wars was how I first got into action figures way back in 1977 Um Did he run for uh president in the uk? I don't know. Uh, let's see and then oh, yeah, this brandon sent this as well Odc, that's me. Hey nice to see you. I like your channel. Thank you for stopping by um and he got I've got these action force annuals With comic books and uh, uh, mostly like reprints of the american comics um A cyber tiger Chris Also sent me some action force comics and I I just love the action force comics. It is so cool to see that take On gi joe And even though I even as a kid I was aware of action force Because I did have a friend who lived in the uk For a while and he came back And we we talked about it. He told me that they had action force there. I thought that was very interesting But I didn't have an opportunity to actually see any of the toys as a kid. Um, and, um And I certainly didn't have an opportunity to read any of the comic books. So, um, it's it's a special thrill to me Move on the wrong direction It's a special thrill to me to be able to actually see these things which We're only myths and legend for most of my my life We have 86 people in here. That is so cool 87 now This is working out pretty well. I'm pretty happy Uh, what we got, uh, we got more we got more. Hold on Okay, oh, I don't want to lose that Hold on Okay. Yeah, um Defiant part, uh, this would be um, yeah, this is another one from Uh From mike lopez that he ordered for me. Um, it goes with those elevator sections Uh, and Hey, Josiah, um Can I kick that? Um, man. Okay. Well, anyway, um From mike lopez has a couple more parts that radiator Nylon mills sounds like a punk rock band, you know I might keep the guy around just because he does have a pretty decent punk rock band name So, yeah Defiant parts, uh, thank you mike Um, I am going to as soon as possible get these on the defiant So I can show you guys how it's looking Um, now I've got some, uh, reading material here Uh, that is essentially really awesome Um Well, let me show you this Am I missing something? I think I'm missing something There's something I was going to show you and it's not here. I may have to go get it. You may have to wait Uh, all right, hang on. Uh, let's see here. I gotta make sure to keep the right person Uh, no, no, I don't want to add moderator Okay, anyway, all right that conversation was derailed. Uh, okay, um There's something that I know I have. All right, but let's look at this this, uh All right, this is cool. All right, this this is a little different um What are my impressions of the modern rock and roll? Um, I think that it's um I understand what they were going for. Um, I need to like put them together to, uh, to really See if how well they kind of updated and, um Modernized that that version two look So I I I'm withholding judgment for now, but but I'm going to put it together I'll get some pictures and I'll give a better impression of it Uh, David, I don't have the MCC yet Uh, yeah, I did notice he only comes with one gun um The one gatling gun and now version two of rock and roll was like maybe had too many guns He's like was got guns hanging hanging everywhere like peg to his leg and everything Okay, now here's something that's cool That I gotta tell you. Um, there is a guy, uh that wants to uh be a sponsor of the show This is a new thing for me. I've never had that happen before Um, I've done I've run ads for people, uh like podcasts and things that you know Our friends and things things that I enjoy and I want you guys to see But this guy wrote a book and it's a really cool book. It's a really good book and he would like for me to um to Show it on the show.

I enjoy talking with you guys Um, uh else excited to see upcoming movie welcome to marwin. Yeah, that movie looked good to me. I'll I'll go see it I'll check it out Uh, do you think a six inch black series would sell for gi joe? Um, I don't know. I have I'm a little pessimistic about that um The the gi joe collecting community that the the universe of people who would buy it Is a smaller universe than you know star wars fans at least for right now And so are there enough people that would buy it? To really support a six inch line. I I don't know. I i'm a little pessimistic about it Of course now I'm if anything worse, you know, I'm open to anything that works and I'm I'm happy to be proven wrong about that Um Yeah Yeah, you would have a hard time getting vehicles for six inch figures. That's They'd be really expensive too the intro theme is it's uh music from a website that has basically stock music So it's it's not technically mine, but it's uh, I can use it with accreditation. So Yeah, so Yeah, I I'm no musician Uh, do I collect modern joes not actively although I've been sent a lot of modern joes a lot of them So now now I have a lot of them. I don't specifically go out and to collect them. Um, I'm pretty Pretty much in the vintage camp But I have enough modern joes that I you know, I know something about them and you know, I have I have enough of them to Get a pretty good idea of what I think about them and what's good about them, you know, but um But yeah, I I mostly stick with the vintage Which I know makes my channel a bit niche I've got a niche channel Uh, so but you know, I I know there are a lot of vintage fans out there um The dino hunters set. Yeah, there's a guy who's been emailing me who has some ideas For what to do on that. So I got to get with that guy when I actually get to it that the dino hunters Yeah dino hunters that was in gi joe. So, um Yeah, yeah, I'll get to it Not high on the priority list right now Um do a live stream watching the gi joe movie If I could if I could if I could get it past Content id, uh, that would be fun. Um, I'm supposed to be reviewing the gi joe movie This year. So that's coming up. Um I still got to prepare for that, but there will be one week. Um in the coming Actually just a toy review Um, I'll be reviewing the gi joe 1987 animated movie Um for context. I thought it would be important to at least briefly look at the transformers movie from 1986. So, um, I'll uh I'll look at that too. Um, but uh, it would be it would be fun to to riff To to live riff the movie. I don't deny that that would be fun to do Well, we've run an hour Which figure am I not looking forward to the most that I'm not looking forward to? Uh, well, I tell you the um It would be easy to say, you know, one of the aliens and I definitely not looking forward to those But there are some figures I don't know if I can narrow it down to one, but there are some figures in 1993 that are essentially just repeats of earlier figures But not done as well and with those generic accessories and all that so That's gonna be a slog and I'm not looking forward to that I don't know if I can narrow that down to one figure But you know, just go look at the 93 lineup and there was some good stuff in 93 I'm not denying that there was good stuff in 93. There was but there was also Just a lot of kind of feels like filler in 1993 just They had to be peg warmers. I would assume but A lot of figures from 93 seem like they were just filler So, yeah, that's gotta be my answer to that. There's 93 is gonna be tough here Hi Dave um To steve, uh, you know, my middle name is steven Which I think is funny because timmer didn't know that when he nicknamed me steve But that sort of is my name sort of His fans And there was some decent stuff in 93 but Wilbur's not a bad name and Wilbur was the name of that pig, you know in charlotte's web You should be proud of that It's a work of literature named after a literature pig Wilbur was Wilbur, right? Anyway, yeah, uh, something like that. Somebody famous was named Wilbur I'm pretty sure As long as my thumbs and cross remain unbroken We're doing all right. Um He was some pig um Hello chili That's right. Yeah, uh, mr. Ed That was will isn't it see The name wilbur has a long and noble history Yeah, see It's a good name the proud name Wilbur, uh, what's your top gi joe figure? Uh, it's I always go back to the swivel arm, uh stalker version 1.5 It's it may not it's it's not it's not like objectively speaking the best figure But it's the figure that means the most to me The armor bot. Yeah, that would be a good toy for a first of the year review I don't have it. I've seen a few of them I keep passing on it because I tend to run find them incomplete And I'm never sure if I can find the missing find parts to complete it that one seems a little bit harder to Harder to complete No, the uh the version from 1983 not not the kayak version not version two But the swivel arm version 1.5 That's the figure I have the most memories with tripwire listening fun, you know Had my eye on a few listening fun tripwires lately It's uh, haven't pulled the trigger yet, but it's it's on my list um Do I communicate with form bx or are we rivals definitely not rivals? I love kevin and kevin is great. Actually kevin's gonna be in Uh, the next review the one coming up on sunday. Um, I love kevin and he I love working with him Kevin kevin is always uh, sometimes or not always sometimes has a little difficulty, you know getting messages But um, he does get back with me And when I need something from him, he actually gets back with me really quickly. Um, and um, you know, all I He is he's so easy to work with All I have to do is say, you know, hey, I I I need this for the project and he'll have it done the same day Um, he is great. I love kevin form bx 257 is still probably my favorite channel Um, I wouldn't be doing this without what he has done I think he's great. Uh senatorium productions. I like I like, um, uh, what's the name? Um Senatorium production, uh, does good work too and I do try to keep up with them as well Bat review, uh, when will I do the the bat? Oh, I'm one thing I'm still trying to get for the bat review and that is The color variant the the bright yellow one and I get that Then we'll be ready Looking forward to that. I've got some ideas about it I I like Kevin and Kevin is like Genuinely, uh, a really great guy. Um, he's I mean behind the scenes, you know, just regular back and forth communication Really great guy. I I can't think of any negative about form bx 257 at all Every I think every interaction with them has been positive Great great guy Um, all right. Well guys, I think it is about time to wrap it up. We've been going for an hour and 10 minutes Um, so I will uh, I'll say good night to you guys. Um I've got a lot of stuff to carry in. Um Yeah, canadian that's that's it. That's it.

Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel after a crazy, yes, crazy day of content yesterday on Monday. I wanna take a look at what is going on in this game right now, what we can maybe expect today on Tuesday as we have a pretty big SBC expiring. That is the mid-prime icon upgrade. And I have some thoughts on how I think it's gonna return pretty soon. It might not be today, it might not be re-upped today. I don't think it's gonna be re-released as repeatable, but I just wanna talk about how EA, when they put out icon SBCs, like icon upgrade SBCs, they kinda have a little bit of a schedule that they usually go off of. So based off that, I wanna kinda look at the mid-prime icon returning pretty soon in this game. Also taking a look at yesterday's crazy content. It was a really busy day on the game yesterday. A lot of great content was released, the 80 plus player pick, the 84 plus player pick. Again, this 80 plus being only three rares and nine cards in total with 35 chemistry is a huge dub. That is very, very cheap to do. We'll talk more about that. The Haji SBC, which is a tremendous dub for Haji and his son. So cool, we'll talk about that. The Zidane SBC, which I think is a little bit overpriced. And the 16th foot Future Stars swaps token was made available in objectives yesterday. So we'll talk about that a little bit as well. And what we could see today with a lot of the Future Stars items on the market exploding in price yesterday. And we'll talk about what happened with that as well. So if you're hyped for the video and you're hyped instead of Future Stars right now, especially for opening player picks, make sure to hit thumbs up on the video and subscribe if you're new. Speaking of player picks, I'll just start off with this really fast. The cracked pack look continues. I did a first set of three player picks yesterday and the main man Konate walked out. So at the moment Konate is replacing Kaza in the squad. So that's a little bit of a flex, I guess. GGs, I don't know where this pack look has come from, but the player picks are giving out and they're really, really good for fodder. I'll even start off by talking about these a little bit. The fact that they're 80 plus and they gave you three options. I mean, from my experience opening these, yes, it's a gamble because it's a player pick, right? It's an upgrade pack, but these are giving out really, really good fodder and this is going to make SBCs very craftable over the next three days that this is out. And this is one of the reasons why I think they might re-release that mid or prime icon SBC either today, tomorrow, or in the next coming days. As you can see, this expires today on this game. This was released during the team of the year last week or even like a week and a half ago and it is going to be expiring today. Now, of course, we still have the mid icon upgrade that is out repeatable for five more days, but again, I really think right now EA is pumping the content during Future Stars, right? We have leaked SBCs like the Gareth Bale flashback that is a front learner for content today or the Badia Shill centerback, perfect link to Chalmini. Those are potential pieces of content that we could be seeing today, but I still feel like an icon SBC like that is something that EA would want to have out during this timeframe because they're just really pushing the SBC content during this Future Stars promo and they do this every single year on this game. So the mid-prime upgrade, just to give you guys a bit of a run up on this, I have not seen any leaks. I've seen a lot of speculation and rumors, but there's no leaks yet as I'm recording this video that this is going to be re-released today. I just think that EA is gonna put it out again soon because this is kind of how they do things with these icon SBCs. This is the first time we have seen the mid or prime upgrade released on the game, right? It was released on, let's look at the exact date, it was released on the 24th of January and now it's expiring today, but a lot of times when EA puts out icon upgrade SBCs for the first time, they do it for the first time, non-repeatable. Then they release that SBC after the first one expires for a second time, non-repeatable. And then the third time we see that SBC released as a repeatable upgrade SBC. I'm pretty sure it's been the exact same path with the base icon, the base or mid and now the mid icon that is out-repeatable after it was released, I believe two times, non-repeatable. So I think that in the next coming days, we would still get another mid or prime upgrade SBC. I think we'd be getting two ahead of ourselves to just expect a prime icon upgrade. That would be a little bit too early. And this is a SBC that of course people love to do. 570K, it had a 74% chance of an upvote when it was released the first time. And again, with player picks being out right now and a lot of people gonna be getting some big-time packs later on this week with the Foot Future Stars Swap Token Rewards being released, I think that if you're EA Sports and you wanna talk about engagement and people doing SBCs in this game and maybe even more of a chance of spending FIFA points at opening packs, you would wanna have a mid or prime pack upgrade SBC available in your game when the 85 times 10 and 81 to 89 and the ultimate pack and all of these packs are made available this Friday on this game. So that's just kind of me thinking theoretically and just kind of thinking about how EA does this stuff. Now if they were to release the mid-prime again that would cause a bit of the market to drop because people freaking love these SBCs.  Specifically with the chance of a prime icon in these people will go for them. They'll craft them. They'll do the 81 plus player picks or the 80 plus player picks and just try to craft that SBC on its own. So that's why I think it'd be a good idea for EA to release it. It would be the exact same requirements as last time, probably costing about 570 coins, 570,000 coins as it does right now. Again, there's no leaks for that. As I'm recording this, you might see some coming out in the near future, I suppose, but I would expect EA to drop that if it's not today pretty soon. I honestly think by the end of the week that would be an SBC I would expect them to drop or re-drop in this game, maybe this weekend during Future Stars II at the latest. That's just kind of my opinion on that. Now with what's going on in this game and of course yesterday with the Weekend League Rewards time period and with all the SBCs that were dropped yesterday, SBC fodder is up, right? We were kind of looking at these 88s to 89s to the 90 rated cards, right? This is the part of the market that is up the most. Now of course yesterday we talked about doing a little bit of a club stock on some of the stuff. If you did that, you were in the money. Cause take a look with the 84 plus player pick drop in yesterday, 84s with a really big spike. They've kind of come back down a little bit but you can see here on the index. Last night we were looking at 84s at like three and a half thousand coins. A lot of them went to 4,000 coins plus. We were looking at 86s at like 12, 13, 14,000 coins. Now they're 16 to 17,000. We were looking at Harry Kane at 46K and now he is 49,000 coins. Basically 50K, you can kind of see it happen right here, right? From 45, 46,000 coins, he just continuously rose over the day yesterday as this was people getting coins from Weekend League Rewards going out and doing some of these SBCs that are alive. Maybe Dominic Calvert-Lewan, maybe Brahim Diaz, maybe that mid or prime, maybe Danny Olmore, Maldini, Giroud, Varan. Again, as we talked about yesterday and still on the, in this game right now, there are tons of SBCs that are available that people are going out and doing. So that is why SBC fodder is up. And I think there's a little bit of that fodder rise, a little bit of it is pertaining to the leaks that we still have. We still have a pretty big leak for a flashback, Gareth Bale. And I think the most popular day for him to drop would be either like today or on Thursday, I would imagine. If this SBC is coming pretty soon, it's been leaked that it's coming soon. So I think this is the big SBC that a lot of people are waiting on right now. I know that we have the R9 leak as well, but I feel like this R9 is still not gonna be for a couple of days. Since they dropped the Haji and the Zadhan, I think that they're gonna wait a couple of days before dropping even more icons. I can't remember any time in the recent past where they've dropped back to back days of icon player SBCs. I haven't seen that like honestly ever, I don't think. So I wouldn't expect to see R9 today. It may be later on this week, maybe next week at the beginning, who knows. That's still a leak that is out there and very true and very real. They just didn't drop all of those icons that we looked at that were leaked at the same time. So that's kind of again what is going on with that fodder part of the market. Now just to take a look at these SBCs for a second, Zadhan is coming in at 1.39 million coins, which if you're a big time Zadhan fan and you really just wanna get a version of Zadhan and craft it and use it in your club for the rest of the year, yes, this is a pretty usable card. But again, I also think that this is a base icon released in February. We're two weeks away from icon moments being released and it just feels a bit wrong, going for a mid, I'm sorry for a base version of an icon in February, right? So that's why I'm not a big fan of the Zadhan, but again, the price is just okay. Once fodder drops off, then this Zadhan is probably gonna be valued on the market around like 1.1 to 1.2 million coins. When fodder does cool off from the prices that it is right now. But again, I still feel like you would be more wise, even if you were a big time Zadhan fan, just to try to ground up the coins and buy the card tradeable off the market and not sink all of your fodder and all of your club into an item like that. Now this SBC is just next level. This is so cool, right? Again, if you guys did not know this, it's not just Prime Haji that you get from this SBC. You also get a future stars version of his son Haji in the SBC for an 83 rated squad.  This is a really easy SBC to craft when you're doing player picks because you can turn in a team a week or a foot champions player. And the overall SBC for Haji here is not too terrible value. It really is not that bad. It's about 220K for the Haji SBC in total which you get his Prime Icon card and the future stars Haji which is a pretty sick card in all honesty. But again, just this is so cool. If you actually look at this crest on the SBC you see Haji 10 with the little kid, seven with his son. This is actually a real picture. I saw this on Reddit and on Twitter. This is actually a real picture of Haji on the pitch with his son. It's so cool, right? That is so cool. So that's like hits you straight in the fields. EA Sports, Gigi with the work on that because that is so cool. And I like how they released those two together because you kind of know again and we talked about this in yesterday's video too, right? If you're going to be playing with these two guys and really want to use them in your squad, you know, you kind of need them to link together because other than that it's really hard to get links to this, the son Haji, Ianis Haji, right? But five star weak foot, four star skills, really, really good looking card. He's got the long shot taker trait, flare trait. And again, 4,000 upvotes on this SBC. People are excited about this. It's again, a really easy craft. The Haji card as well with the green link to his son. He's four star, four star. He does have a lot more traits. His work rates are medium low, which is a bit of a bummer, but hey, Messi's got medium low work rates as well and he is cracked. So this is a decent SBC, a decent card, but I think it just hits you right in the fields and that's why it's so cool with the two Haji's that you're able to play and to use with. It's really, really fun and it's cheap and it's affordable and I give props to EA Sports for that content because that was a tremendous dub. Now again, just covering quickly the other SBCs yesterday, the 84 plus player pick out for a couple of days. Two team of the weeks, team of the week fodder didn't rise that much. Yesterday, I believe that like discard team of the weeks went up like two to three K, maybe even 4,000 coins. So I think all team of the week cards right now on the market are like 13 to 14 K and that might have been their peak. Now I think those will probably drop back down a little bit, but a lot of you guys that may be invested in some of this higher rated team of the week stuff like 84 team of the weeks at 15 K, this stuff, we need more higher rated, higher tier SBCs. Like if a Gareth Bale flashback or the R9 comes out and requires a lot of informs and some higher rated squads with multiple informs required, that's when you're gonna see this higher rated stuff continue to move up. So if you're still holding on to some of these informs, I think that's a good play and I would continue holding on to some of those right now on this market. Now, speaking of the market in general, a lot of the market is just kind of at a standstill, right? It's just chilling except for the future stars cards and these cards absolutely flew yesterday after rewards and you're like, Nate, yesterday we talked about a market drop, what's going on? Well, besides these cards, a lot of the market didn't move upwards that much. You take a look at team of the years, Messi is still 3.22 million coins and Bapé is still 6.1 Ronaldo is still 6 mil, Donaruma 188, Georgina 1.1, De Bruyans 1.88, right? So a lot of these team of the year cards and the honorable mentions are still around the same price, some of them down a little bit, some of them maybe slightly up. Rutiger is again extremely rare and has a lot of hype, so he is continuing to rise. But take a look at Jonathan David, right? A little bit over-invested, people are turning to new cards. He's down, look at how much he dropped yesterday. I think partially this had to do with the Calvert Lewin SBC. He went from 70K down to 60,000 coins and if you take a look on the market, there's a lot of panic selling there. But overall, if you bought into any of these future stars, which I did, I bought into some Tomiasus yesterday, before Weekendly Rewards, I was buying those Tomiasus at 80 to 84,000 coins, selling a lot of these in the high to mid 90K range. There was a pretty nice swing on these cards on the market and especially some of the top tier ones. I'm taking a look at a card like this Ferrant Torres who got really, really low last night. He was down to 1.2. I still stand by my words, that this card is gonna be no more than 1.1 to 1.2 million coins, closer down to 1 million coins flat by the time we get to this weekend. I don't think he's worth this much on the market at all. He's just really rare and still really expensive because people are very hyped about him.  He's almost 1.8 million. This guy is flying in price, just because I think one of the things, and you might even think that I'm capping and like, no, there's no way this is true. But I think that one of the reasons why these cards went up a lot yesterday is because you can actually find them on the market. For a lot of people, they're not the best at searching the market and this market is glitchy as it is. They were looking for the quality type of future stars and they couldn't find it. And you may not believe me, but that's a legit fact. A lot of people in this game were probably unable to find some of these cards. I really think, especially for these items that have multiple special cards, like Chalmeni. He's got two informs. He went up like 60,000 coins. I bought one at 1.02 and I sold it too early, right? Because these cards kept rising further after the content drop. Once this search filter was added, a perfect example of this was Smith Row. Smith Row went from 650K all the way up to 700K right around the content drop. And then after the content drop, Smith Row went from 700K to like 730 even for a hot minute on the PlayStation console. And it really just had to do, in my opinion, with people were able to find these cards on the market. And they're still really hyped, right? There's a lot of demand for these cards, even though they're not the most insane. And a lot of the hardcore players, like you guys that are watching this video, look at these cards and they're like, yeah, they're cool, but they're not really that cool. They're just nice, right? But for a lot of casuals that play this game once again, these cards are sick, right? Because these are cards, oh my goodness, I've never used Ferrantoris. He's never had a really good card that looks so good like this in this game. I gotta go and try him out. Or I've never used Tomiasu and FIFA. He just transferred to Arsenal this year. He hasn't had a usable FIFA card yet. You know, a lot of people are excited about this guy playing in the Premier League. Oh my goodness, he's got a right back card. Oh my goodness, look at those stats. You know, so I think that's part of the hype that really rose these cards yesterday. And you know, a lot of people, I think we're kind of in a new, especially after the Christmas period. I feel like there's a new general trend on the market in general, is that a lot of people buy cards on Sundays now, because for the past few years, it's always been known that Sundays are the cheapest days. Now with the change in the weekend's league structure, with the playoffs, with division rivals requiring you to play more games, and with the champs playoffs being less games, I really feel like what you see now on the market is a lot of people actually go out and buy teams on, you know, on Sunday nights and Mondays. And that's why you see the market do so well most Mondays, is because people think they're getting ahead of the game by doing that, but this year's market is completely different. And also there's a lot more gameplay demand, right? We just started a new season where now you have to get four and eight wins of division rivals to get yourself the weekly reward and the reward upgrade. So there's even more gameplay. I feel like EA has done a really good job this year, whether you believe it or not, it's actually a fact. They've done a really good job this year with keeping people in intertwine and playing this game with the reward structure, because people feel like they have to play their rivals games to get their rewards every week. They also feel like they have to play champions playoffs and get their games in to try to qualify for the weekend league, depending on how many, games they had won in the weekend league prior. So there's a lot of gameplay that happens on Mondays and Tuesdays. So I think that's another reason why you saw those cards really explode up in price yesterday, even though it was a day of really good content. Man, I'm selling cards like hotcakes right now. What am I selling? Oh yeah, I bought three Butch Roganios today at 500K, 505, 503, sold them at 540 and 547. Nice, that's a GG. Yesterday with all the content, moving on here really quick for the end of this video, yesterday with all the content, it was a really good day to trade with the market going up. I bought some Mondays at 230, 228 to 230, he's 260. I bought some Sterlings at 410, I bought a Rashford at 340, a Trink Cal at like 45K, this Shaw Pedro I bought at like 78,000 coins. I bought some Benyettas at 80. I bought a couple Contes at 160K, some Verans at in the low 30s. Some of the stuff has not sold yet. The Fodans that I bought in the 230s, he's still there. A couple of the Contes, I still have as well. But a lot of the market really did pretty well yesterday. The stuff that did drop, it did bounce back. Like I was talking about those Butch Roganios that I bought, again, he was down in the low 500s. He's getting rare right now at night. That's really nice to see. Gabriel Jesus was down in the low to mid 800s. It looks like now he's about 870, 880. And I'm kind of watching this Ferrantora still as well because this guy is so stinking rare. And last night he went from 1.3 mil after he was getting his price range update up to 1.7 mil. Yes, he actually sold at 1.7 mil. So I'm kind of watching this card tonight. Oh my, one for flat. Let's see how long that sits if it does sit because this card is mad rare. And I know people know that it's not gonna be a card that, okay, that got bought. This is not gonna be a card that maintains its value very well, but still it's gonna be great to trade with. So I probably should have picked up that Ferrantora for the quick flip because I really think that I can sell this guy at like 1.5 plus maybe today, but that's gonna be really risky. So just depending on how much risk you want to take right now with your trading on the market, there definitely are gonna be moves that you're gonna be able to make. You know, there's also the grinding methods are working right now. Bronze pack method, because of the player picks, gold commons were up at like 700 coins a piece. Looks like right now there's still 700 coins a piece. That's crazy. Gold rares I think are like 750 to 800 because of those player picks. So right now it's actually not a bad time to do bronze pack methods, silver pack method and grind those kind of menu trading methods like the chemistry style trading methods and the position change stuff because there's gameplay demand, there's SBC demand, all of the demand. There's a lot of content going on right now. So there's a lot of ways you can trade on this market as well. So that's gonna be the video for today boys. Again, Tuesday content wise really don't have any leaks. I guess the only thing that we are confirmed to get today is a title update. There's gonna be a brand new title update so gameplay is probably gonna change a little bit, just be on the lookout for that. But I do, you know, it seems a bit crazy and it seems like we're getting a ton of player SBC content recently. But we might have another player SBC today, right? The flashback bale that Bobby Schelle of course from the league on is a card that a lot of people are looking forward to myself included. Maybe we get either one of those SBCs today. That will be something to keep an eye out for as we load into Tuesday content on this game. We'll have to see, right? We'll have to see what EA decides to do. Maybe they drop another one of those academy objectives since of course they've been allowing people to grind Shaloba. Maybe they'll drop another one of those today. We'll just have to see how this Tuesday shakes up to be on FIFA 22. So if you enjoyed the video today make sure to hit a thumbs up, of course down below in the comments and let me know how you're doing. Let me know if you packed anything sick from player picks or if you, any opinions on the content from the FIFA and in the game yesterday. And of course, if you are brand new make sure you subscribe to the channel. So that's the video for today boys. If you did enjoy, do all those things I just mentioned. I don't know why I'm saying this again. But it's been Nathan for the count and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


Dear students, up till now we have studied two tests for hypothesis testing. One of those tests was Pearson R correlation test and the second one was a partial correlation coefficient test. Now we will talk about independent sample T test. Independent sample T test is a part of the T test which we conduct for the hypothesis testing. The other types of testing include paired sample T test, one sample T test, and one independent sample extension which we call one-way ANOVA, that comes. If we talk about independent sample T test, then this test is conducted or performed when you want to see an effect on a dependent variable of a nominal variable or if we want to say that you want to see an effect on a dependent variable of a grouping variable. So when you perform this test, then you have to have a dependent variable that is a composite score or it is measured on a continuous level and our independent variable is a grouping variable, nominal dichotomous variable, which has two categories. If there are three categories of a variable, then we can perform this test with two categories. When we perform this test in SPSS, then I will tell you its procedure. Before performing the independent sample T test, let's talk about its assumptions. The first assumption is that there should be independence of observations, i.e. your respondents belong to a particular group, they do not fall into a group. For example, we want to see the effect on gender on the base of gender on the GPA, so there should be an independent observation that the men report will not be in the women's category. In some situations, there should be a clear dichotomous variable where your independence of observation is not there. Before performing this test, we have to see in the dependent variable for each group category that there is no outlier. i.e. if you want to see the effect on the GPA of gender, then you will check the GPA with reference to the men and GPA with reference to women, they are normally distributed and there is no outlier. The fourth assumption is that if we are going to compute a test of two dichotomous categories, then your dependent variable should have equal reports for both groups. If this is not an equal report, then we will use its alternate path to compute the T value. In the independent sample T test, if we talk about hypothesis, we write it in this way that there is no mean difference on the basis of grouping variable and the alternate hypothesis we will write that there is a statistically mean difference on the basis of a grouping variable. The procedure for performing this test in SPSS is that you will go to analyze and tick the compare means. After clicking here, you will select the independent sample T test option. If you select it, you will have this dialogue box open in which it will ask you what is your test variable and what is your grouping variable. So the test variable here is our dependent variable and the grouping variable is our independent variable. And you have to remember that the test variable should be continuous in nature and the grouping variable should be a dichotomous in nature with two categories. So here we have seen that we want to look at preventive behavior, effect of gender. When you select the grouping variable here, it will ask you how you have given the values of groups. So the coding you have done in your SPSS sheet is what you have to write here. For example, if you have coded the gender with 0,1 key, if you have coded it with 1,2 or 2,3, then you will write it here. We will check it with 95% confidence interval. So we will continue this and you will continue this too. So when you continue this and do OK, then you will have two tables in the output view. So this has multiple information for you and it is necessary to understand it. So the first information you have to check is that the assumption of independent sample T test is that the equal variance should be assumed. So if we look here, the seek value is bigger than 0.05. Our value is 0.188. It means that we are accepting our H0 that the equal variance between both groups is assumed. So now we will look at the T value. So the T value is actually the value of the T test statistic. Now we have to see if this T value is significant or not. So for this we will look at the seek to tell value. So we have 850 which is bigger than 0.05. So here we will accept H0. There is no difference in the means only basis of gender in preventive behavior of the respondents. So our alternate hypothesis is accepted. Alternate hypothesis is rejected and null hypothesis is accepted. Now this is our hypothesis test. But in these two tables there is a lot of information which is meaningful for you. For instance, here you can see that the mean of the male is 27.22 on preventive behavior. Female and male are 27.11. So on the score of preventive behavior, the score of the female is slightly more. It is not statistically significant. But the female score is slightly more as compared to the male. And the difference between the two is 0.104. And this difference is very minute. That is why our alternate hypothesis is rejected. You have given the standard error value. Now where is the standard error value computed? So this is actually the standard error value. Your standard deviation divided by n. That means your value is 6.209. If we divide it by the root of 208, then you will get this value, 0.430. So the standard error value is computed from here to you. With this, if we look at how t value is computed. So the t value is your mean difference. If we divide it by the standard error, then you will get t value. That means if we divide 0.104 by 0.430, then the score you will get is 0.190. So this is your t value computed from here. With this, you have 95% confidence interval of the difference. So how does this compute? So this value is actually, we compute. For example, if we look at the lawyer, then this is your value computed. Mean difference minus value of z, multiplied with value of standard error. With this, you get your value. If we look at the upper limit, then the mean difference plus z, multiplied with the value of standard error. So z has 95 confidence interval of 1.96. So with this value, you get these values. So the rule of thumb of t test is that if the interval difference is 95%, if it is 0, then your alternate hypothesis is rejected. In our case, there is 0 in the middle. That is why our hypothesis is rejected. Now let us look at another example of this. Here we have seen the effect of preventive behavior. What is the effect of age on this? We had two age groups, up to 25 years and 26 to 50. If we look here, then the equal variance of preventive behavior was not assumed. That is, the sig value is 0.01 is smaller than 0.05. Now we have accepted age 1. When age 1 is accepted in this situation, then the t value will not be assumed. If we look here, then we know that the t value here is 0.088 which is higher than 0.05. Our hypothesis is not accepted that the two age groups have a significant effect on the score of preventive behavior. Because t value is not significant in this case. I have told you with two examples how to conduct independent sample t test and how to interpret it. How to compute table and write up and when we start the reporting section, we will study it.


This video will cover the following objective from digestive physiology. List the factors that regulate the activity of the digestive system, autonomous smooth muscle, mechanical and chemical receptors, hormones, intrinsic nerves, and extrinsic nerves. This slide shows us an illustration of the structure of the alimentary canal which is organized into four layers. The deepest layer, known as the mucosa, is lining the lumen where the food is traveling through. The mucosa is a mucous membrane and this is where nutrient absorption occurs. The nutrients move across the epithelium of the mucosa into the small capillaries as well as lymphatic blood vessels called lacteals which carry nutrients throughout the body. The next layer superficial to the mucosa is the submucosal layer. The submucosal layer consists of mostly connective tissue that provides some structural support for the alimentary canal and also provides a passageway for larger blood vessels and nerves to travel through. Superficial to the submucosa is the muscularis which consists of primarily single unit smooth muscle tissue. Then superficial to the muscularis is the serosa which functions to anchor the alimentary canal to surrounding tissues to help stabilize the position of the digestive organs and also provides a route for the travel of large blood vessels and nerves. There is nervous tissue within the alimentary canal known as the enteric nervous system. The enteric nervous system consists of the my enteric plexus a network of nervous tissue found in the muscularis and the submucosal plexus a network of nervous tissue found in the submucosal layer. The enteric nervous system includes sensory receptors such as chemoreceptors that can detect the presence of nutrients and mechanoreceptors that can detect stretching of the alimentary canal. This sensory information can be processed by integration centers that are local within the alimentary canal to enable local reflexes that function as intrinsic control mechanisms. But this sensory information can also be relayed through afferent fibers into the central nervous system enabling extrinsic control mechanisms where the autonomic nervous system regulates the functions of the alimentary canal. The smooth muscle in the muscularis layer of the wall of the alimentary canal is single-unit smooth muscle tissue that is regulated by the autonomic nervous system but contains an intrinsic pacemaker cell known as the interstitial cell of cahal that functions to stimulate the action potential in an autonomous contraction mechanism so that the action potential is generated spontaneously within the wall of the alimentary canal independent from the activity of the nervous system. This illustration shows us the interstitial cells of cahal that are located in the pacemaker region just adjacent to the smooth muscle tissue in the muscularis. The interstitial cells of cahal have a spontaneous activation mechanism that produces an action potential which spreads as a slow wave of depolarization into the smooth muscle fibers stimulating opening of L-type calcium channels calcium rushes into the smooth muscle fibers and stimulates contraction. The slow wave is the rhythmic spontaneous variation in the membrane potential of smooth muscle fibers in the muscularis of the alimentary canal. The slow wave spreads from interstitial cells of cahal through the smooth muscle tissue via gap junctions between the interstitial cells and smooth muscle fibers and gap junctions between adjacent smooth muscle fibers and the single unit smooth muscle tissue. When the slow wave stimulates depolarization to threshold for opening of L-type calcium channels calcium rushes into the cell stimulating contraction. When acetylcholine is released into the muscularis of the alimentary canal it binds to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on the interstitial cells of cahal stimulating an increased rate of spontaneous depolarization and this leads to an increased frequency of action potentials. Acetylcholine also binds to muscarinic acetylcholine receptors on smooth muscle fibers leading to increased calcium influx with each action potential. Together these mechanisms produce an increased force of contraction increasing the muscle tone in response to acetylcholine. Calcium binds to the calcium sensor protein Calmodulin and Calmodulin then activates myosin light chain kinase. Then phosphorylates myosin light chain stimulating the power stroke cycle of the sliding filament theory to produce contraction. Acetylcholine is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter that stimulates both contraction as well as secretion from the glands in the alimentary canal. Acetylcholine is released by the excitatory neurons of the enteric nervous system to stimulate both contraction and secretion. Acetylcholine is also released by the postganglionic parasympathetic fibers in an extrinsic control mechanism. Acetylcholine is released by both extrinsic and intrinsic control mechanisms leading to increased contraction of the smooth muscle in the muscularis and also leading to increased secretion of glands in the submucosa. These glands produce mucus that helps to lubricate the alimentary canal but also carry enzymes into the alimentary canal that are important for chemical digestion. Intestinal hormones also regulate the functions of the alimentary canal. The enteroendocrine cells are cells found in the mucosal layer in the alimentary canal in response to chemical stimuli such as nutrients detected by the hemoreceptors of the enteric nervous system or stretching of the alimentary canal detected by the mechanoreceptors of the enteric nervous system. The enteroendocrine cells will be stimulated to release hormones. There are three major hormones released by the enteroendocrine cells in the intestine. There are enteroendocrine eye cells that release the hormone cholecystokinin which is abbreviated CCK. There are enteroendocrine S cells that release the hormone secretin and enteroendocrine G cells that release the hormone intestinal gastrin. These hormones can either stimulate or inhibit the contraction of the muscularis and they can either stimulate or inhibit secretions from glands in the alimentary canal. We will see an example of a control mechanism regulating secretions from gastric pits in the stomach where the intestinal gastrin hormone will function to stimulate secretion whereas the hormones CCK and secretin will function to inhibit secretion. There are also enteroendocrine cells in the mucosa of the stomach that produce gastric hormones. Gastrin is the primary gastric hormone that will stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and also stimulate the contractions of the smooth muscle to produce churning. Gastrin stimulates the secretion of gastric juice that is rich in the digestive enzyme pepsin that will initiate the chemical digestion of protein and gastrin also stimulates churning and this way gastrin stimulates both chemical digestion and mechanical digestion in the stomach. Gastrin is similar to the intestinal gastrin but this gastrin that's a gastric hormone is produced by enteroendocrine cells within the stomach as an intrinsic control mechanism whereas the intestinal gastrin produced by the enteroendocrine G cells of the small intestine function as a extrinsic control mechanism to stimulate the activity of the stomach. The other major gastric hormone produced by enteroendocrine cells in the mucosa of the stomach is ghrelin. Ghrelin has the function of stimulating hunger and in response to stretching of the stomach and nutrients detected within the stomach the enteric nervous system will inhibit the release of ghrelin. So in response to food entering the stomach stretching the stomach activating the mechanoreceptors of the enteric nervous system and nutrients from that food stimulating the chemoreceptors of the enteric nervous system there will be a decrease in the amount of ghrelin being released by the enteroendocrine G cells of the stomach and ghrelin has the function of binding to receptors in the hypothalamus and stimulating hunger so as there's decreasing levels of ghrelin after eating a meal you'll feel less hungry and satiety is the opposite of hunger the feeling of fullness after eating is known as satiety and so decreasing levels of ghrelin is one thing that will promote satiety but there's another hormone, an intestinal hormone that's important for promoting satiety in response to stretching of the small intestine and in response to nutrients detected by chemoreceptors in the small intestine the enteroendocrine I cells within the small intestine release the intestinal hormone cholecystokinin abbreviated CCK then CCK binds to receptors in the hypothalamus promoting satiety and decreasing hunger


Hello, my name is Tim Kajasa and I'm going to talk about using Prometheus to automate power capacity planning. Quick intro into myself, I was a traditional network engineer but now I focused primarily on tool development and monitoring for systems and networking team here at Hudson River Trading. Hudson River Trading or HRT is an automated trading firm which was founded back in 2002. Being an automated trading firm simply means we use computers to buy and sell financial insurance such as stocks and bonds. Since HRT is a trading company, latency is key for us and the desire for low latency necessitates that we co-locate our computers as close as possible to an exchange's trading platform, never in the cloud. Operating in the physical computing space represents some interesting capacity planning challenges for us. Since we don't operate in the cloud and we can't click a button to add capacity, capacity planning is extremely important. Do we have enough servers to run additional workloads? Do we have enough rack space for these servers? And what is almost always the gating factor is do we have enough power for everything? If we were looking to grow in the answer to any of these is no, the turnaround time for adding capacity grows from days to weeks or months. So the focus of this talk is on how we make our power capacity planning more accurate and how we can then automate it. In a typical data center, our servers will be divided up into multiple racks and within each rack will be multiple PDUs or power distribution units. These PDUs are what supply power to all the servers. Like all capacity planning, when we are looking to grow our server footprint, we will look to see where there is excess capacity and with power that means where is the most available power. To find the available power, we just need to know how much power is being used, the load on the PDU and how much power has been allocated to that PDU. From that, we can calculate how much available power there is. So this should be simple, right? In an ideal world, yes, this should be simple. The first step to tracking power usage is easy. Point the SNMP exporter at the PDUs and we know how much power is being used there. And that's exactly what we do. But where the trouble comes in is we have multiple PDU vendors. With multiple PDU vendors come multiple SNMP MIBS, which result in multiple metrics. So the way a PDU displays power load is different across the vendors. One PDU vendor may display the total load of the PDU in amps, another in tenths of amps, and while another, we may need to sum multiple metrics to get the total load on that PDU. The solution to this is to use recording rules to abstract away the underlying hardware and generate a common metric name. Once we verify all the recording rules are correct, there's no need to touch any of the downstream tooling. Now that we have a consistent metric representing the load on a particular PDU, we need to know how much power each PDU has been allocated. Again, in an ideal world, all PDUs would have the same amount of power allocated to them. However, we operate in the messy real world. Power is expensive and can be limited in some training collas, which results in us having different power allocations per PDU. One site might be able to have 24 amps per PDU, while another might only have 16, and we even have variations within collas. To handle this, we have a standalone script that queries NetBox, an open source data center management tool, to determine how much power we have allocated to each PDU. Then the script writes these power allocation thresholds out to a file for the text file exporter to read in, turning what used to be configuration data into metrics. Now with the consistent metric name, consistent metric name of the load over the PDU and the per PDU thresholds, calculating the power free in each rack is easy. From here, it's simple to even write a tool to query Prometheus to report where new servers should be racked. Even if the power load is highly variable like it is here, we can leverage Prometheus to make better capacity planning decisions. We can even use it to create nice dashboards. Thanks for listening.
