Hey everyone, my name is Kwan and this is Moriya. So today we're going to be talking about mining and civil engineering and we'll be talking more about our student experiences, internship experiences, our full-time jobs and just tips and advice to help people who are deciding between these two disciplines and even if you've decided just general tips and advice to help you succeed in your career. So to start things off we'll just tell us, sorry we'll introduce ourselves a little bit more. So start off with what we do for work, where we studied and perhaps anything interesting about your engineering career. But before we start don't forget to like this video, give it a thumbs up and comment down below anything that you want and give us feedback about what you think about the video or if you have any further questions or if you want us to make more related videos about it just don't forget to let us know in the comments down below. So tell us a little bit about where you work, what you do for work, where and what you studied and anything else relevant about your engineering career. Yeah well I attended the University of Alberta where I achieved my bachelor's in engineering in civil engineering last year and the experience was really good at the University of Alberta. Upon graduating I got a job also in this field right now I'm doing a lot of municipal infrastructure jobs more of like a civil rehabilitation jobs as well. So those core civil projects that's what I'm currently working on with the hopes of you know getting exposure to other components such as structural engineering just to really become a well-rounded civil engineering training so when I actually get to apply for my professional engineering I kind of have like an overall knowledge of many things. Cool and about myself I graduated from UBC in mining engineering in 2019 so I started school in 2013 I graduated six years afterwards because I did two years of co-op, did 12 months at Shell in long-range tailings planning and then I did 60 months at Suncor in short and mid-range mining planning. I'm not working full-time back at Suncor I'm currently working as a short-range course tailings planner so mainly in charge of creating deposition plans for our course tailings and just making sure that we have a stable structure and just enough containment for our course tailings to go into. I've also done some student teams when I was in school so I did Canadian mining games also did a competition called move mining did that in 2019 so me and our friends submitted a idea to change the public's perception of mining using animated infographic videos and then we won that competition so we're working through those videos now it's called mining to me so feel free to check that out. We're gonna leave you the link in the description box below for you to check that out but you know how cool like something cool though is that I noticed that you did the co-op program. Yes. I didn't do the co-op program so my program was only four years in length and I had so basically I had schooling from September until early May or like late April and then from there on my summer work on my summer terms I was able to actually obtain several engineering jobs related like to my field which I found truly valuable because it kind of gave me that co-op experience without being fully in co-op but I find that a lot of my classmates kind of struggle with this so it's really important to early on on your career for you to start doing that networking and you know connecting with people within your field even on like this own school like on any events that you have there's always going to be people from the industry that come and visit make sure you start developing those connections because that's that's how I got the job that I have right now from those connections. Yeah absolutely networking and work experience two crucial keys for you guys to get a full-time job. So next question is just a little bit about our industry so we'll just talk about what is civil engineering and what is mining engineering. So I'll go first because you went first last time. So mining engineering is a discipline that deals with extracting valuable minerals from the ground using the best practices so whatever technology you have and doing it in the most economical and environmentally responsive way and so because there's open-pit mining there's underground mining there's a lot of I guess criteria that goes into being a successful mining engineer. Yeah there's a lot more to it but that's just the overview of mining engineering. And civil engineering it's basically a field of engineering where we do a lot of work it could be maintenance or it could be design and construction of road it could also be pipelines like there's a lot for civil engineering from environmental to you know actually you know rehabilitating bridges or constructing new bridges rehabilitating structures or building new building new buildings so there is a lot of things within civil engineering that you can actually um work with and experience. Personally I no I don't know where I'm going with it. Okay that's all right. Uh next question is so why did you choose that discipline and you can go first this time? Okay so curious like when I was in my first year so basically in the first year is that it's when you actually get to choose what you want to do or what you want to focus on your second, third, fourth, fifth years etc but basically first year is the year where you do like a little bit of everything to kind of get a taste of what those things are and going into first year I was so determined to you know pursue mechanical engineering just because I can't really I could go off on the aeronautical engineering just because of our pilot's background so I was like you know what mechanical is the way to go that's what I'm gonna do but then statics came along and it was challenging for me at least like the concepts were challenging but I was like so hooked with that that I'm like yeah like that I'm like you know what civil is the way to go like civil is cool because it has so many like options like if I don't like doing municipal engineering I could do bridges I could do like buildings like so many options and it really allowed me like freedom in that sense and also move whatever I want to go because there's always going to be that need for engineers to you know do road rehabilitation or you know all that stuff so that's what like really really hooked me into civil engineering kind of going from a concept like something on a paper to an actual tangible thing that you can see you can touch you can like you know you can go and like you can do some anything so that's that's one that hooked me with civil yeah so I totally relate to that last point you're all like designing something that you can physically see in the field that's pretty relevant to mining and I think you're the first person that first person that said you're hooked on statics I've never heard that before so for myself um so similar story um first year engineering is sort of like the time when you sort of see your options and sort of decide what you're going to personally I've actually uh didn't want to pursue mining just because one I didn't know much about it and two it didn't really um I guess it didn't just really click to me at that time but I guess some more I dive into it I just realized that it's a very complicated and integrated discipline um it deals a lot with sort of looking at using that technology available available to the industry and there's a lot of growth in terms of the technology that could be used within the industry I just thought it was a super like complex and an interesting problem to do to look at just like how do you get some like valuable rocks out of the ground like uh the more I look into it there's like so many I guess like constraints that go into it it's just this like giant piece of puzzle that involves like geotechnical engineering mining engineering a little bit of finance that goes into it and so I think it was because of the complexity of this industry and I guess mining engineering in specific that sort of drew me into it but also actually like when I was in grade 11 I know it's actually because of Eric that's I went to a fuel trip in uh so this is the aircraft maintenance course uh north bay Ontario and then we actually went to a fuel trip to the um I always forget the name but I just call it the big nickel word um they had this like giant underground mine um some museum that you could go into uh and when I went into it uh I was just perplexed by how they took like built this like big opening underground but I was also curious as to like why they designed it the way they did how do they know where to put this like big giant opening um so it's just something that the more I looked into it the more curious I got about and that's how I chose mining engineering yeah and I find like you know having that curiosity of why things work the way they do or why this was designed the way they did like that I find like a common trade on all engineers so if you find yourself that you're like very inquisitive or like you kind of want to know why the why of things engineering it's the way to go definitely and I also find that even though I'm several and you're mining like we work with so many like engineers and like many disciplines for a job site that it kind of like gives you like a taste of everything and for sure and you kind of like you know get the overall picture which I find that it's really like really cool because you learn a lot from different disciplines and yeah yeah totally that's the next question so now I have a question for you sure what are some of those courses that you took for mining engineering and which one was your favorite okay um at least favorite we'll do two one one um yeah there's actually quite a few interesting courses um I guess like the core fundamental courses would be like surface mine design and underground mine design what else there's some like mineral processing course even though I didn't end up going to the mineral processing stream I still kind of found it interesting just to sort of give me the whole picture of how a mining process works from the ground all the way to the end of the mill uh some of my favorite courses were obviously like the mine design classes it's sort of I finally like understood like how how they design the mines I also really enjoyed the mineral economics course just this whole like finance side of mining that I didn't know about but I got really into it I also liked the mining and environmental courses um and that course is not only dealt with like the environmental aspects of mining but also dealt with the social implications just because whenever you develop a mine you always have to I guess communicate with the stakeholders and get them involved and understand what impacts your mind has around the community um and this sort of gave me like a I guess like a less technical look on mining but sort of this like more social component that I found really interesting as well so those are some of my favorite courses yeah and and that's actually a good point because engineering is not only about you know the the design and like the crunching numbers like there's more to it it's also about you know how this project is going to impact citizens or how it's going to impact you know the animals or like wildlife so like have to look at it from different kind of points of view and see like how you are like impacting everything for civil so we do a range of um courses so we do we do courses on transportation as well as construction methods so like you know kind of thinking about how you're gonna build something and the economics section like part of it like how you're gonna do quantity takeoff and all that stuff so it's very like we do a little bit of everything um but in the last year we do like our capstone which is basically you focus on two courses that you kind of really want to you know continue developing throughout your career so for me my favorite one was um the structural course because we got to kind of design a building from like you know it's parquet to its third floor so it's gonna cool to go through the process and kind of be in help with the professors um and I find that my least favorite course was survey and why is that because for survey we had to do survey school and survey school is in the middle of nowhere and it hailed it rained it was like we got how long was it because I've heard I think mining kids does it too at u of a yeah um but how long was that survey it was a one very long week that was enough but no no it was it's cool like kind of getting the experience and because it's honestly you use it a lot in the field but oh my gosh like the experience was a little bit challenging with like the changing seasons throughout the day but anyway so it's kind of it was a good experience we have a lot of like memories from it but it was rough um and I forgot to mention like my least favorite course um my least favorite would probably probably be flotation course um so flotation it sounds weird for those who doesn't know um flotation is how you after you process the minerals and you have to recover the minerals there's a process called flotation where you selectively use chemical compounds to sort of extract the valuable minerals from your mixture okay so there's a lot of chemistry involved and I guess chemistry is not my strong suit so that was my least favorite course yeah we all have we all have one that is not our strongest suit but it's totally okay you get you're gonna make it through don't worry well next question is so that was it for part one of this video if you want to see part two make sure you go to Maria's channel which is at Maria Carolina and I'm gonna leave it linked down below or maybe on the cards up here yeah so we just either click the cards or click the link to see part two we'll see you guys there bye until the next one


The agricultural industry, including commercial cannabis cultivators, often uses rodenticides and insecticides to control wildlife and insect pests. These chemicals are highly toxic and require special permits for purchase and use. Despite these requirements, exposure of non-target wildlife to pesticides continues to occur in California. This can lead to death or long-term health problems for affected animals. Our research paper summarizes the current state of knowledge about the effects of rodenticides and insecticides on non-target wildlife and outlines the regulations governing their use in cannabis cultivation.

Hello people of the internet, my name is Johnny and welcome back to another video. I was finally able to get my hands on this bad boy right here as well as a few other things that I want to quickly go over right now. You guys may see that the background is changing a little bit. It's because I got new shelves. I'm getting another shelf that looks exactly like this. I'm gonna be rearranging some things. But I got Blackbird right here. Ooh, I didn't know the green screen was on. Yeah, so Blackbird released yesterday, I believe, on the 29th. It's out right now. You can go read it for yourself. I also got a frame for this. If you saw my FNAF EO merchandise video, you saw that I got this poster right here and I got a frame for it. It looks amazing. I don't know where it's gonna go yet, but it'll definitely be in the background, hopefully. I got some more FNAF Mystery Minis. No more Freddy. No more Roxanne. I got yet another one of the shiny green sparkly Montgomery figures. My brother wanted one since I had duplicates, so I gave him the other one. Probably the most pog-champ thing is metallic Glamrock Freddy. Finally got him. He is one of the rarest, I believe, at a 1 in 72. If you would focus, that would be fantastic, camera. There it is. Look at that bad boy right there. Awesome. However, the main focus point for this video is the brand new, let's say brand new, it's been out for a little bit, McFallen Deluxe Concert Stage Construction Set from FNAF 6, aka Pizza Sim.  Not gonna lie, especially the figures. So this is the set. Look at Bonnie, by the way. You could tell I had some struggle with him and not only that, but his eyes. Man, what's up Bonnie? You're looking a bit, looking a bit odd. I'll get better shots of it as I talk about it. Actually, I'll put it up right now. Honestly, it's not that bad of a set. I believe it's like $30, $35 or something. Pretty good for the price. You also get like two tables that don't actually go onto the set. They just kind of rest on it, which is a little weird. Yeah, the construction manual, nothing special. It doesn't have the checklist, which I completely missed in my original video covering the new Weave 6 McFallen sets, the one for the salvage room. I completely missed that. Overall, it's a really good set. Very accurate, which is something I really love about McFallen is that they are always accurate when it comes to their sets. To be honest, Glam, not Glamour, oh god, I did it again. Rockstar Freddy is a little bit more dark brown than he usually is, but you know, that's nothing big at all. Of course, Bonnie's eyes, you know, they don't look right at all, but that's just the painting job. That's nothing too serious actually. Comparing it to the actual in-game stage, it's shockingly accurate. Of course, it's missing a few stools. It's missing one of the speakers on the speaker. It's missing a few lights, but overall, pretty accurate. I'm very, very happy with it. The characters are very accurate as well. Chica's bib is always on point. The Morocco's like fantastic. All the painting job is amazing. I'm sure I'm missing something like some off-secondary colors on the characters, but overall, very, very accurate. Though I will say something that I'm a little bit upset about, but then again, it probably would cost too much to make, and they were definitely up the price of it, is that technically, in FNAF 6, you can put four animatronics on the Deluxe concert stage, so why they didn't do that in Add On to Rockstar Foxy? I don't know. Just make it a bit bigger so you can be able to put another character on there, and still, like, there was a choice to not do Foxy. The most fan-favorite character in the entire franchise was a bit weird. I think we all would have loved to see a McFallen Foxy glam- Ah, not glam- Rockstar Foxy set, with his parrot on his shoulder, and the stick leg, the peg leg. That would have been great with the thing that does this.  I never know what instruments are called. And that's for the box. It's a pretty good box. And it gets the point across, I don't know why they chose to make Rockstar Bonnie, like, the main focus point they made him bigger than Chica and Freddy. I feel like it probably should have been Freddy just because, well, I mean, it's Freddy. Bonnie doesn't even come with his guitar. Come on, man. Also, Freddy is left-handed in the set instead of right-handed. You can fix it, but trust me, it is extremely difficult, so I'm not even gonna try to fix it. We have done reviews on all of the other sets. If you missed it, it'll be linked down below. There also should be an iCord right up there. Really, there's not much else to talk about. I got the set. I didn't build it on stream. I didn't build it, like, on recording. That's why I'm not doing, like, a big time lapse of it because, oh boy, this took a while. I was also doing it while I was rearranging my room, so I couldn't really do both at the same time. Overall, really nice set. I would love to see them do more sets in the future. I don't know what, you know, events I would want them to do. Definitely special delivery because they've yet to do that yet. I know Funko is just now catching up to special delivery, doing action figures, doing plushies, all that stuff. So I feel like the next company to take that opportunity of doing merchandise for special delivery should be McFarland, though it might be a little bit difficult because it would just be the characters. It would just be the skins. They would need to build an environment around it, so something like plush trap would be, you know, probably best, but other than that, I don't know. What else could they do? Of course, I'm sure we're missing some characters that, you know, definitely should get sets. Leave your comments down below. Who would you want to have a set next? Now, I don't know if, well, I don't know when their next wave is going to be because this is wave six, so now they're going to move on to wave seven. They might do some security breach, you know, sets. That would be amazing to see. Get all the glam walks in there, get Fanny, Vanessa, Glitchtrap, all of them fantastic new characters. Also, the coloring book is coming out on the fifth. I know that's not really part of this video, but I'm going to be getting it. I'll do a video on it. I'll do a live stream on it, where we're like coloring it and just having them. Grand old time. Also, the security puppet plushie. I'm getting it on the second. So like three days away, I'm very excited. We'll definitely do a video on that. But that's it for now. Thanks for watching and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.


Have you ever wondered if there was more to your friendship than meets the eye? Are you just friends or do you think there's something more to it? It's easy to confuse a friendly gesture with signs of something beyond that. So here are ten signs that you're more than just friends. One, they want to spend more time with you. However many times you hang out with each other, they just can't seem to get enough of you. When you're with them, you feel a lot brighter and happier. While it's natural to spend time with people you like, it could also be a sign that you're catching feelings for each other. Two, they miss you more than usual. Do they hint that they miss you after just hanging out with you? They just want to spend all their time with you. It's normal to miss people we haven't seen in a while, but if they long for you all the time, it's most likely a sign there's something more to your friendship.  Do you think about each other a lot? If you find yourself constantly thinking about them and how they are and what they're doing and vice versa, it's probably a sign that you're more than just friends. When your mind can't help but always wonder back to them, there may be some genuine feelings involved. Four, they're nervous around you. Do you get nervous when you're around them, even if you guys have known each other for a long time? Or do you notice them behaving differently or strangely when you hang out together? It could be a sign that someone likes you more than a friend. Five, you dress to impress. Do you find yourself putting more effort into how you appear when you spend time with them or vice versa? A study by Coriani and Rothermond showed that your attention is captured when you see something or someone attractive. So if you dress up in hopes to get more of their attention, it could mean that you want them to be more than just your friend. Six, they get jealous easily. Do they get jealous when they see you spending time with someone else? According to a study by White, jealousy happens because they perceive the other person as a potential rival or threat. If they seem to feel upset and envious at the person you spend more time with, it could be a sign that they want more in your relationship. A little jealousy in a relationship is fine, but be careful if this behavior escalates into something unhealthy. Seven, you see them differently. Your feelings and interactions with them feel different compared with when you're spending time with your other friends. For example, you ask each other questions about your intimate life. It's a sign when you begin to see them in a different light other than just a friend. Eight, you feel closer to them. Whether it's because you talk all day or you have deep conversations, the connection between the two of you feels different. Even though you may also be close to your other friends, your bond with this person feels rare and more intimate. Somehow you feel closer to them than anyone else.  Flirting is probably one of the biggest signs of there being more than just friendship. It's a way to find out if they're interested in you. If you both share mutual feelings for each other, it might be time to discuss those feelings and take your friendship to the next level. And ten, you have more physical contact with them. Do you hold their hand or snuggle on the couch? While some friendships involve more physical contact than others, like hugs and kisses on the cheek, things like handholding and cuddling could be a sign that you're headed towards the direction of being more than just friends. So what do you think? Do you relate to any of these signs? Let us know in the comments below. Also remember to like and share this with those who might benefit from it. The references and studies used in this video are added in the description below. Thanks for watching and we'll see you in our next video.


From around the globe, it's theCUBE, presenting, Cube on Cloud, brought to you by SiliconANGLE. The Cube on Cloud continues, we're here with Anna Pinsuk, who's the Chief Development Officer at AnaPlan. And we've been unpacking the future of cloud. We've heard from a number of CIOs how they're thinking about cloud in the coming decade. And first of all, Anna, welcome back to theCUBE. Thanks for participating. It's great to see you again. It's great to see you, Dave. And I'm so excited to be here with you again. So hopefully we'll be doing this soon. I hope in 2021 we'll be able to be face-to-face for everybody out there, we miss you all. I know. Now, Anna, in a lot of respects, you think about the CIO role, something that you're intimately familiar with. And it's unique because she or he has a very wide observation space across the company. You know, where's a GM or a business line manager, they're most concerned with their respective business. The CIO, they got to worry about the whole enchilada. And we've heard a lot in this program about digital transformation. We've heard a lot, of course, in the past couple of years. A lot of it was lip service, but digital transformation, it's no longer optional. What's changed in your view in the way that businesses are going about it? You know, Dave, I mean, from my perspective, it's interesting. And this year in particular has been really telling for us, right? So I think before many companies were thinking about, hey, I want to be online. I want to grow my revenues, you know, with digital. I want to have a presence. But what's happened actually this year with COVID in particular, is that it's gone from being kind of a good to have, you know, to really a fundamental necessity. We must have it. And so when I talk to CIOs today, they're really thinking about different kinds of things than before, not just going digital, but how do I enable my people to work remotely, right? I've got to enable that. How do I bring the agility and the flexibility that I need in our business, especially with these new ways of working, right? How do I look at business resiliency, you know, not just from a, you know, something happens and then how do I recover from it? But also how do I help our company and our people then actually spring forward and grow from where we are? So it's gone from a topic that was happening at the CIO, maybe at the business level, but now it's really also a fundamental CEO and board conversation. And so now we're seeing the CIOs having to present to boards, you know, what is our digital transformation, our digital strategy. So I wonder what you've seen in that regard. I mean, I'm interested in what role, you know, cloud plays in supporting those digital initiatives, but more specifically, you know, cloud migration came, you know, off the charts in terms of interest because of COVID, but you had those that were, you know, deep into cloud and a lot of experience, those, maybe not as much. Are you seeing any kind of schism in the marketplace where there's maybe a great advantage to those who really had years of experience and maybe a disadvantage to those who didn't or is there kind of an equilibrium you're seeing in the marketplace? How do you see that playing out? Yeah, I mean, you know, what I'm seeing is that I think there used to be a spectrum of CIOs in effect, you know, the ones that were kind of a little bit, you know, forward ahead on the cloud, both on cloud infrastructure as well as SaaS, right? And what are the services that we have? And then there were some that were really, you know, trying to think about what's the security, you know, implications of the cloud and, you know, is it more expensive? And, you know, so there was this spectrum of CIOs and I think now what's happened is there's such a business imperative that I think CIOs are saying, look, I'm either gonna survive, you know, in this new world with the agility and the flexibility that I need. And so cloud, you know, I'm seeing a lot of CIOs really saying, okay, cloud is not just fashionable but it's in a necessity, right? And we must do it. And I think frankly, the CIOs that don't embrace the cloud and that level of agility are going to struggle, right? It's really a personal imperative for a CIO in addition to sort of for the company. So a lot of times we talk about, you know, the three dimensions of people process and technology and I'm interested in your thoughts on how cloud has affected those traditional structures and the value chains. I mean, you got some people are really good at tech, some people are really good at people, some people are really good at process. Has the cloud affected that? Has it upended it, changed it in any way? Yeah, I mean, let's like unpack that a little bit, you know, Dave, because if you think about process, I mean, one of the interesting things about the cloud is that, and if you think about the cloud as going all the way from like IaaS or sort of infrastructure all the way up the stack to actually providing business processes embedded, you know, in a SaaS service, then from a process perspective and for CIOs, it's really upended how they think about business process re-engineering in their companies. If I think even, you know, five years ago where you would have a whole organization that's focused on business process re-engineering, you do that, it takes a long time, you know, you get a consultant maybe to help you and then you work through that process. If you look at a SaaS service like Anaplan today where we, our goal is, for example, to orchestrate business performance, we are a SaaS business planning platform, we've incorporated into our platform that business process, right? So the role of the CIO relative to business process and effect changes, right? Now it's about how to leverage a cloud infrastructure and then how do you enable the customizations on top of that? But generally speaking, that's a lot easier than having to think about re-engineering the whole company. If you think about the technology stack, obviously the cloud embeds a lot of technology, you know, in the cloud, right? So you have a lot of native services that are available to you. That is awesome from a talent perspective, you know, because before maybe you need to have, you know, need to have database experts or, you know, Kubernetes experts and not that we don't need those today, but many of those capabilities come, you know, native in the cloud today. So in effect, how it helps the CIO is to provide sort of this ecosystem of talent kind of embedded in what the cloud provider does, right? So I wonder, so let's stay on that for a minute. So I remember before Amazon announced AWS in 2006, CIO said to me, yeah, I'm thinking about maybe I don't need to run my own email, right? So because of that we've seen the classification of businesses, which to your point, you know, makes things simpler and that I can focus on other areas and not to worry about, you know, managing infrastructure to support apps. At the same time, you've had this proliferation of cloud.  Worried about that data layer. So there's this new level of complexity. How do you see that playing out in the next decade? Yeah, you know, we used to say that, you know, we sort of shift what we do at a certain level and now as an organization, we start to look at kind of higher value outcomes, right? And so I see that happening and you're absolutely right. The conversations that I have with customers now are, hey, you know, there's things that are enabled by the cloud and then on top of that, you need a set of APIs or connectors or ways to get data in and out of, you know, in and out of a particular system or ways to link. And in our case, we're linking with Salesforce to Anaplan to Workday or other tools, right? And so you start to think more about the business outcome that you want. The CIO needs to be focused on that instead of maybe sort of the fundamentals of the technology, those come, you know, those come for you. And then it's really more about the partnership with the business side, right? To say, okay, what is it that you're trying to do and can I enable that through my, you know, cloud architecture, the Workdays, you know, the Adobe's or the Salesforce's of the world? So I think the conversation is changing. And from my perspective, what's really cool about that is it brings the CIO to, you know, really makes the CIO a business and thought leader, a strategic leader, right? Because the IT shop is not just talking tech, you know, the IT shop has to talk a lot more about the outcome that they're trying to deliver. So, I mean, in the early days of cloud, I just want to pick up on what you just said. I mean, a lot of people in IT saw the cloud as a threat to their livelihoods. And I think I'm inferring from your statements that we're largely through that dynamic. And the CIO is now really trying to make the cloud platform for transformation and monetization or whatever other organizational goal might be saving lives or better government. Is that sort of how you see it, that the role has changed to that? I know, I mean, I talked to so many companies and it's still, we're still going through that transition. So I don't think we're completely over the hump of, you know, cloud all day everywhere. But at the same time, I think what the CIOs really focused on these days is really around business agility and business outcomes for their partners. By the way, that's one of the things. The second thing, especially these days is around people, you know, collaboration, communication. How do we, you know, facilitate interaction of people whether inside or outside of a company. And so, you know, that's a very different conversation for the CIO. It doesn't mean that we're not still having the basic conversation of how safe is the cloud? What security do you have built into the cloud, right? But I think, frankly, Dave, that we've crossed the chasm where before it used to be, hey, I'm a lot more secure on-prem. And, you know, given the tremendous focus that the cloud providers and SaaS companies have put on security, I see many more companies, you know, feeling very at ease. And in fact, telling their organizations, right, we actually need to switch to the cloud, including large, you know, large companies that have compliance issues, you know, or like large financial companies, many of those are making that switch as well. Well, it's interesting to talk about security. I mean, I think it's kind of a two-edged sword, right? Because I think a lot of, frankly, I think a lot of executives early days use security as a way to sort of kick the can down the road. Yeah, okay, you know what I'm saying. But the reality was the cloud, you know, better or worse, you can make that argument, but it's different.  And so that's what we've seen so many times, the shared responsibility model. And so people are still learning there. So security is almost this beast in and of itself. I'm interested in your thoughts on the priorities.  I mean, the major focus, as you pointed out, on cloud has been, it's a driver of agility and shifting resources as we talked about, but there's this constant cost pressure, you know, the procurement, looking at the Amazon bill, do you see a lot of the same going forward? Or do you think the value equation is shifting such that there'll be, maybe, you know, IT is less cost pressure, there's always going to be cost pressure, I know, but more value producer? I think you're right. I mean, I see it and I see it over the last six months, I've seen it really accelerate where CIOs are thinking about three things. And one is business resiliency. And when I talk about business resiliency, I talk about the ability to recover from crap that happens, you know, whether it's pandemics or global events and shifts that companies have to accommodate, right? So that's one thing that I see them thinking about. The second one that we talked about a little bit is just agility. I see them really focused on that and the cloud enables that. And the third one in conversations is really speed innovation because, you know, when companies are talking to cloud providers and particularly SaaS companies, what I see them talking about is, look, I've got this particular need and it would take me, you know, two years to do it with a legacy player because of, you know, I've got to do this on-prem but you have the fundamentals built in and I think I can do it with you in three months. So I think, you know, business resiliency, both to grow and to recover from stuff, agility and innovation are really three fundamental levers that I see for movement to the cloud, right? And any one of those at these days, I mean, it's funny, depending on who you talk to, any one of those can propel a CIO to make that choice. And when they have all of that together, they have a lot more lift in effect as a CIO. They have a lot more leverage, right, in terms of what they can do for their companies. Well, let's say on innovation. I mean, innovation, I've said many times in tech, you know, for decades, it came from Moore's law. I mean, it seems so 90s to even say that. I know, I know. But it's true. So what's going to drive innovation in the coming years? I'm interested in your perspective on how machine intelligence and AI and ML and cloud, of course, play into that innovation agenda. Yeah, I mean, it's interesting, you know, I see it a lot in our business with AnaPlan. Innovation comes from the ability to bring in sort of what you do internally and match it with what's available in the external world, right? And you mentioned it earlier, data.  We talk about data, right? And I think what's really going to drive innovation is being able to have access to the world's data.  You know, you start to offer services. You start to bring intelligence that wasn't available before, right? And that's a really powerful thing for any company, whether you're doing, you know, forecasting and you need to sort of bring the world's data, whether you're a agricultural company, we talk in, and in these days, innovation comes in the form of speed, you know, being able to just deliver something new to an audience faster. So to me, the cloud enables, you know, all of that, the ability to bring in data. And then on top of that, I mean, think about all the AIML innovation that's happening around the world. We just launched an offer actually to be able to do forecasting, intelligent forecasting on top of the cloud. We partner with AWS forecast for that. If we didn't have a cloud platform, you know, to do that and a set of APIs, you know, being digital that way really enables us the opportunity to match, you know, one plus one equals, you know, 100 really and bringing the power of that to get two companies together to be able to enable that type of innovation. Well, that's interesting. It reminds me of one of my friends, Ed Walsh, who's the CEO of a startup called Chaos Search. And he used the statement. He said, we're standing in the shoulders of the giants, you know, we're trying not trying to recreate it.   So here's a totally left field question. When you hear all the talks about breaking up big tech, is that irrelevant to you because you figured, okay, the cloud's going to be there. It's maybe more about search or it's about, you know, Facebook or, you know, Amazon's dominance. Interestingly, Microsoft's really not in those discussions anymore. They were the center of it back in the 90s. I know, I know. But as a head of, you know, development for a company, does that even factor into the equation? Do you kind of not worry about that?  In a sense, I view the partnerships and we have partnerships with Google and AWS and Microsoft and others, right? So I view those as part of an opportunity to really provide an ecosystem set of solutions, right? To customers and those are very powerful. I think those partnerships enable companies like ours, like SaaS companies to innovate faster, right? And so I compartmentalize and I say, those things are wonderful. I don't know why you would want to break up those companies. At the same time, you know, part of what you're referring to, you know, has to do with more of the social and the consumer elements of what's going on. But as a business leader, I really focus on what the power is, particularly in the enterprise. What is it that we can do for global enterprise companies? And at least in my mind, those two things tend to be separate. A couple of things you said there that triggered my mind. One was ecosystems. We were talking about data. One of our guests in this program, Alan Nance, has been talking about ecosystems and the power of ecosystems. And I definitely see cloud as a platform to allow data sharing across those clouds and then to form ecosystems and share data in ways that we really couldn't have, you know, half a decade or even, you know, longer ago. And that seems to be where a lot of the innovation is going to occur. Some of the people talk about the flywheel effect, but it's the power of many versus the resources of, you know, a few. And I'm such a big believer in the ecosystem play. And part of that is because, frankly, even over the last 20 years, that the skills that are required and the knowledge that required, that is required is so specialized, Dave. You know, if you think about, you know, AIML and all the algorithms that we need to know and the innovation that's happening there. And so I really don't think that there's any one company that can serve a customer alone, right? And if you think about it from a customer perspective, you know, their made up of, their business is made up of needs from a lot of different parties that they're putting together, you know, to accommodate their business outcome. And so the only way to play right now in tech is in a collaborative way in an ecosystem way. I think the more that companies like ours work with other companies on these partnerships. And frankly, by the way, I think in the past, many companies that have made bold announcements and they would say, oh, you know, I'm partnering with so-and-so and I've got this great partnership and then nothing would happen. Like it was just a lot of, you know, talk. But I think what's actually happening now and it's enabled by the cloud is we have much more of a show me culture, right? We can actually say, okay, well, let's say AnaPlan is partnering with Google, show me. You know, show me what you're actually doing. And I see our customers asking for references of how these ecosystem partnerships are playing. And because these stories are out there more, I think partnerships are actually much more feasible and real and pragmatic. Yeah, Ana, we call those Barney deals. You know, I love you, you love me, we do a press release and nothing ever happens. That's right, that's right. And I think that's not gonna work going forward, Dave, right? People are asking for a lot more transparency. And so when we think about ecosystems, they really want the meat on the bone, right? They don't want just announcements that don't really help their business move forward.  Every conversation, but the data that's created out of that ecosystem is going to throw off, you know, new capabilities and new data products, data services, and that to me is a really exciting, you know, new chapter, I think, of cloud. Yeah, and it's interesting, you know, the conversations I'm having now are about data, and believe it or not, also about metadata, right? Because people are trying to analyze what's happening with the cloud, you know, among cloud providers, what are customers doing with the data, right? How are they using data? How often are they accessing data security? You know, from that perspective, looking at who's accessing what? So the data conversation and the metadata conversation are truly enabled by the cloud and their key.  This is a great point, I'm glad you brought that up because in the legacy environment, all that metadata, that data about the data is locked inside of these systems. And if you're going to go across clouds and you're going to have it secure and governed, you've got to have that metadata visibility and a point of control that actually can see that and can manage it. So thank you for that point. And thank you, Anna, for coming on theCUBE and participating in theCUBE on cloud. It's been great having you. Thank you so much for having me. It's been a pleasure. All right, keep it right there, everybody. More from theCUBE on cloud, right after this short break.


Hey, guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. The content in Foot Birthday is starting to heat up as a part of Foot Birthday Team Number Two in the second week of the promo. We're starting to see the content get a little bit better because yesterday with the Ramos, SBC, and the Year in Review player pick, it seems like EA is kind of going back to a SBC content push during this second week. And I'm really thinking that it might continue throughout the rest of this entire week with good and better player SBCs and more of the gamble SBCs or the, especially what we learned to look forward to during Foot Birthday is the party bag SBCs that we all expect and honestly want to drop during this promo. We really don't have any new information about those yet, just that they were in the second week of Foot Birthday last year. So there's a lot of, I guess you could say, anticipation for how content could continue to be throughout the second week of Foot Birthday. Now, today on Monday is even a big day as we'll take a look through the content we could be seeing today with another big time Foot Birthday player SBC, upgrade packs or player picks, and we still have Weekendly going on today, right? We don't actually have Weekendly rewards today on Monday, they're actually gonna be tomorrow on Tuesday because of the Weekendly extension. I think that's gonna impact the market just a little bit and also the market is a crazy, crazy place at the moment because of yesterday's content with the mini release, the year in review and the Ramos SBC, a lot of the market is down even further. So we're gonna take a look through all of that today in the video. If you're excited for a hype second week of Foot Birthday, hit the thumbs up on the video and of course, subscribe if you're new. Let's dive right in, right? And when we dive right in, I think what we have to do is actually take a quick look back to yesterday and talk about the content that we saw there because we saw something yesterday that we have not seen in a very long time. Well, two things actually. The first one, Sergio Ramos five-star skill SBC. This was leaked, we knew that it was coming. I honestly think that this card is just getting a lot of people's attention because it is a Sergio Ramos card. I know the pace doesn't look as good as it should or it could, but five-star skills is really cool. The dynamic image is awesome and it's coming in at like what? 520, 550,000 coins at the moment right now. So it's a little bit expensive, but I think I'm gonna try to craft this over the next week just because this is more of a cool factor of a card. Ramos, this might be like one of his only special cards that he gets this year with his injuries. I know he's had the ones to watch. That was cool, a bit overpriced, but I think a lot of people are doing that because it's Ramos, right? But the real thing that was big for yesterday on the game was the year in review player pick. Now this is repeatable two different times for the time that is out in three days. It's almost the exact same as the year in review that we saw a couple of weeks ago, except instead of stopping at the beginning of January for the new year, this added the SBCs between January 1st and the start of team of the year. So I think it added in like, I don't even know how many more it was, but I mean, this is just the start of maybe what is to come throughout the rest of this week is more of these gamble upgrade packs. We have not seen a party bag, a gamble upgrade pack like this. Like remember, we were getting those, the future stars player picks where it was like previous versions of future stars in a player pick with their current FIVA 22 special cards. Those gamble SBCs were back a couple of weeks ago. We haven't seen very many, besides like an 84 plus player pick. We haven't really seen many of these SBCs and you can tell because again, the market reacted very heavily to this yesterday with a lot of prices actually going up in terms of SBC fodder and a lot of the meta players on the market dropping yet again in price, 85s are like 10,000 coins apiece. These guys were like 8K yesterday before this SBC dropped. And I really think that again, these price spikes that you saw on fodder for the low to mid tier, that was because of the year in review player pick SBC. You've seen some other of the higher tier fodder go up like 1,000, 2,000 coins a card. Like the 88s went from like 25K to 26, 27. We haven't had the late night lightning rounds yet tonight on Sunday into Monday as I'm recording this. So these cards continue to just kind of inch up a little bit in price as people, I think people are doing Ramos. It's again, it's a mixed bag. You take a look, right? 3,100 thumbs up to 3,000 thumbs down. Some people like this because it's Ramos because it's cool, PSG very linkable, five star skills, great dynamic image. And some people don't like it because it's not fast enough. It's too expensive. But I think this is light enough. And I think if you actually take a look on foot bin and you see like the up and down vote on the SBC, Ramos, wow, Ramos has a very different down vote percentage than like thumbs up to thumbs down on the card. That's really interesting to see. But one thing that we know about this is that the player SBC hype has drastically increased from what it was last week, right? I mean, you think of the SBCs that we had last week, like Lainer, some of these are still live too, right? The Declan Rice was not bad and Dombele, very overpriced, right? Some of those SBCs that we had last week, not very many people were interested in, but it sounds like with this Ramos and then the SBC that we're getting today, Chrysma, sounds like they're kind of upping the ante on the player SBC side of things as well, which this card right here, although it's not gonna be super duper linkable and it's gonna have to be a pretty cheap card for a lot of people to want to go and do this. As long as it's not too expensive, he's gonna have hype because it's gonna be a five-star, a five-star, Chrysma. This is a FIFA legend, right? A FIFA legend, he's gonna be so good in game just because of the way his body type is and how he's always been, especially within a skill move meta, this card's gonna be very, very, very good. So it's gonna be a fun SBC today that I think a decent amount of people would be interested in if it is at a cheap price. Now also today, we have the potential for upgrade packs. Yes, Mondays are always upgrade pack day. Now last year during foot birthday, they had the 81 plus player picks that they dropped during week one of foot birthday and then in week two, they also dropped the 81 plus player picks. Now last week, we had the 80 plus player pick times three. Hopefully this week they up that to the 81 plus and give us three choices or maybe they make it the 80 plus again times three. I just like having three options in the player pick instead of two but also with the insane cards that are in packs this week for foot birthday team two. You already know that the biggest piece of hype as a part of today's content is going to be people trying to go out and do player picks to try to pack these cards and especially the guys that just got added into the mini release. Wow, Sancho is flying right now. He's up basically like 90,000 coins from his low point that he hit. Since we aren't seeing these late night lightning rounds, a lot of these guys have bounced up in price a little bit, some of these foot birthday cards after the panic selling that happened yesterday because of all the content. But this Sancho card right wing, right mid, five star, five star EA gave him the Jews. I know he only has 82 shot power but 92 finishing, really good agility balance that five star, five star with 97 acceleration. Everybody's looking at this card and they want to try him out. So with all these insane cards that are in packs, not to mention the Danny Alves, the DiBala, the Fikir, all these great cards that are out in the game right now, player picks or upgrade packs this week are going to have a huge emphasis on them as everybody is going to want to do that. Now again, as we're kind of taking a look at this whole week in general and talking about this potentially, the content heating up, this is the thing that everybody wants to see. And I think this is what we're looking forward to and we honestly expect it, right? Is the party bag SBCs. Now we're really gonna get confirmation these are coming when the packs get added to the code unless they do some sort of player pick because as you guys know, player picks don't have to be added into the code, only packs have to be added. But most of the time party bags are packs. Last year they had rule breakers, road to the final, record breaker, team the group stage, foot freeze, headliners, future stars, what if or foot birthday as a part of these party bags. Now personally, I like party bags better when they aren't inclusive of all these different promos, right? I would be totally fine if they released a party bag this year that was foot birthday team one, foot birthday team two, road to the final and future stars, right? The most three relevant promos that still have cards that are very, again, relevant to the stats, to the power curve in this game. That would be a great player pick. Also EA sports, if you want to do a foot birthday team one or team two guaranteed, just go all out this week, right? Just go all out this week with some of these gamble packs, upgrade packs, make the SBC piece and part of foot birthday really come back to life because it started to come back to life with the rommels, with the charisma that is gonna be coming today and with the year in review that we saw yesterday, kind of bring that back and that could make this second week of foot birthday really bang. I really, really hope for that because I want foot birthday to kind of return to what it's, you know, honestly hyped to be. Again, last year we had a Renato Sanchez SBC. We had the Royce, right? Some people liked that Payette, the Gervino was cool. Just the player SBCs last year were so much better with the Vidal, the Palacio, that a ton of people loved that card, the Ozil and the Podolski, right? We've talked about this already. We just need this week of content to be banging. We really, really do. Now, the content over the weekend with the glitches and the pack stuff that's been going on and even yesterday with the year in review player pick and the rommels being out, the market has been impacted very, very heavily because of these things. A lot of prices on the market are still down a lot. And when I mean a lot, like some cards, you know, the Ronaldo for birthday card started the weekend at 4.7 million coins. And right now he's like 4.3. He was in the 4.2 range before this. A lot of cards right now are just down literally everywhere across the market. And especially as we look through this weekend we potentially have more of these gamble type SBCs like we did with the year in review player pick. One thing that I want to kind of bring back to life and mention about the market is that's gonna be taking coins off of the market this entire week if the content is good. Last week, the SBCs weren't that great. All we had were player picks. We had some icon packs that were out that some people were kind of interested in doing and crafting, but not really that much. And so, you know, a lot of people have already done the prime icon upgrade. A lot of people, myself included, have already done the mid or prime player pick which does not refresh until Tuesday. So we won't be able to do that again today. So a lot of people are just gonna be looking for that SBC section, whether it's players, whether it's those gamble packs. I mean, yes, there is the possibility of a player of the month, Mbappe, coming later on this week as well. So this week could be a huge SBC week. And that's why I'm taking the time to talk all this stuff through because I think SBCs are gonna be the really the main focus of content this week. And I think if EA does structure it that way, then I think a lot of the market is still going to lose like more value. Again, that's gonna drain a lot of coins off of the market. As I take a look at a lot of cards right now, if you want to buy anything from foot birthday team too for a longer stay in your club than just a day or two, then I would be hitting the pause button on that 100%. Even if it's one of the brand new, many of these cards, like Sancho, even though he is incredibly hyped, if it's Paqueta, if it's Dani Alves, Firmino, Fikir, a lot of these guys are very, very hyped and they are insane cards and everybody wants them in their team. I would try to push that off until later down this week because I really think that the potential this week for really good content and for people to be enthralled with the SBC section of this game and not so much the impacts cards, which would be the opposite of last week, right? Remember last week we had guys like Odegard and Allen and Cruz and Nuno Menj, they were fluctuating up and down at price all the time, especially this Odegard, right? Odegard's down 50K, he was 425 yesterday. Cruz is down at price. Nuno Menj is up just a little bit because of Ramos. Suarez is down, Grealish is down. So I think the market is gonna lose more value this week if the content does get really, really good and continues to stay good. Now again, one thing that we have to talk about too is when we get these gamble SBCs and gamble packs, let me again show you what happens on a day when that sort of stuff happens, right? So Cochere is 138,000 coins. The guy is down bad, right? Look where he was on the weekend. He was 200K on Friday, literally on PlayStation, 200,000 coins, he is right now 138K. We all know that the market is really down bad, the market is dying or bleeding, as a lot of people wanna say, it's crashing, right? We've talked about that the past two days and it's kind of continuing. Now again, we need to take from what we saw yesterday and really learn and apply this because this is something that we saw so many times during other promos. If you're trying to trade and make coins right now in this market, I know a lot of people are really trying to make coins because this is the stretch building up in the team this season where I can only imagine what the content's gonna be like this year during the team of the season. If EA go all out with the card stats that we're gonna see, with the cards that we have right now, just imagine team of the season cards. It's gonna be cracked. Anyways, when you see these types of SBCs dropped like the year in review or a party bag or some sort of gamble SBC like that that is like 200,000 coins or less that a ton of people are gonna go out and do because it's easy, cheap and fun, right? And you see panic selling like this, we always watch for the rebounds, right? And this is something that we've done multiple times throughout the year already this year is buy in the panic sell and then sell a rare card after it rebounds back. I mean, take a look at this team of the group stage, Ronaldo. Here's another card that was down yesterday, right? This guy was like a million coins, 1.02. He was down all the way at 9.50. I actually searched him up live on stream. He was 9.50, boom. Bounced right back to 1.02. There's not a ton of profit in that, to be completely honest. And it's always a bit of a gamble when you're trying to find which cards are gonna bounce back the most from a period of panic selling. But if we take a look down this list a little bit more, I'm gonna try to find somebody else tonight. Where's Mahrez? Or Gareth Bale, here's one. Gareth Bale yesterday was like 350K, 360. He dropped down to 330. He doesn't show it on the footprint graph. He was down to 330 and bounced back up to basically 360 where he is now. A lot of center backs yesterday went really low. Where's Kempembe? Kempembe is 690. Kempembe was down in the low 600s. Take a look at this. There was a bit of extra panic selling on this guy because of Ramos, right? So he went from 719, 720K down to like 620 was his absolute lowest on the PlayStation and is now rebounded back, right? That's the sort of stuff that this week I want you guys to watch out for if you're trying to trade and make coins. Durante was 630. He's now back up to 670, right? Mahrez is down because of the Sancho card. Some future stars were fluctuating a lot. Lecquois was down at like 730, 720. He is now rebounded back up. Gravenbercher is still pretty low. Gonna keep an eye on that. Pedri is actually still really low. Gonna keep an eye on that. Where's another example? Chiameni was in the low 800s. Smith Rowe was like 500K flat. He's now back up to 530. Farron Torres I think was even, the striker version of this card was down into the 700s I believe. Yes, 875, so he didn't really bounce that much. But this is the sort of stuff that I want you guys to watch this week if you're trying to actively flip cards, trade and make coins. Ooh, this is a lot. Talk about Sancho hurting a bit of a card too. That's the one thing you have to be careful with is if we're getting player SBCs this week, if it's a substitute item from that league or from that in that position then that's where you can see some prices not rebound back as well. But I think this is gonna be your best opportunity to trade this week is buy cards that are panic sold. And then especially if they're really rare and really popular, you will see them bounce back in price because people will go back and buy them, right? Hakimi's 680, he was 630 at one point yesterday. Donaruma with the links to the brand new Ramos was down at like 175. He's back up at 205. So just keep an eye on this stuff. Whether it's cards from Foot Birthday Team 1, right? Since they're out of packs, this would be the sort of stuff that if you see panic selling like there was yesterday, again, Otagard was 425. He's now back up to 450. Or Tony Cruz was like low 600s. He's now back up to 670. That's the sort of stuff that I would really look at into this week and try to trade and make some coins. I know we just looked to flip in for a really long time, but to get back here on the menus, that's really what I would do this week. Now, a couple other things that are gonna be throwing some wrenches into how this week is gonna look content-wise is all of the compensation that we have. We still have people right now that packed icon moments cards, myself included, right? Icon moments cards from the mid or prime player pick that are awaiting compensation for those items that they packed incorrectly, you know? At some point in this week, I think the compensation probably at the earliest would be maybe late today on Monday, but honestly, I would expect it to be more of like a mid to later in the week sort of thing because it's gonna take an EA a while to figure out whose accounts were messed up and who they need to give stuff back to because of all the accounts that were affected by those packed glitches that happened earlier on this week. So I think it's gonna take a while for them to do that compensation, but that's also gonna play a factor on the market this week as people are awaiting those foot birthday cards from team one, right? Team one of full birthday, I would say be careful with this week because so many people are gonna look to pack these cards and have another of those foot birthday team one packs that was giving out team two cards. That was the first glitch that happened on Friday. So I'd be a little bit not super duper worried, but for the mid to low tier of full birthday team one, I just keep an eye on that because some of these cards might get packed some more. Maybe a guy like Grealish could drop a little bit because he was a very popular card that was packed the first time around in those packs. I saw a lot of Grealish, obviously a lot of Guerrero, not very many Alan Cruz, Odegaard, a few Nuno-Menge, but mostly it was like DACA, Bibu, Torreya, Dilorenzo, stuff like that. Maybe Dilorenzo you were a little bit careful with just because he might get packed a little bit and that might be somewhere where you see a price drop. But also with the mid prime player pick, you have a lot of people that are just waiting to get that extra player pick back myself included now that that's gonna really impact the market a lot because all of those are gonna be untradable items that are gifted back like those packs that'll be re-gifted. Those will all be untradable, but still you have so many people waiting for that content to be placed back onto their account. Sometimes people just wait for that stuff and then they go out and they do SBCs or buy cards because they're just waiting on that compensation and that's just gonna be a big story of this next upcoming week on this game. So honestly, I know right now it's a bit of a weird timing, right? Usually on Sunday nights and Monday mornings we expect a market rise, right? And I've got a lot of my coins liquid at the moment because some of these cards were potential buys and I thought they were gonna run lightning rounds again so I was kind of focusing on that potential. I was looking to pick up a Sancho and the fact that they did not run that lightning round has now got this Sancho guy going up in price because he is 930, 940,000 coins and he was like 860. So a really nice rise here on this card. Some of your other foot birthday team two players I really wasn't gonna trade with that much but some of them have gone down. I sold a Di Bala yesterday, like 1.33 and he is now down in price. Paqueta is down, Danialvis is down a bit. So some of these cards might rise up a little bit today but I'm not really expecting a huge rise unless it's very investor driven on some of these cards because I mean there's no rewards and I really think that what drives a lot of the market going up on Mondays is that rewards time period. I know a lot of people might have already finished their foot champions and I can't even see the time frame because I'm not qualified but I know that foot champions was extended this weekend so it's actually still going on today on Monday so that's gonna kind of mess some things up because people got their rewards, they go out and they buy cards so you still might see a little bit of a rise on the market today. I just don't know if it's going to be as drastic or as crazy as a normal Monday so it's gonna be a great week of FIFA I honestly think that it is but it's gonna have to start today with the upgrade packs 81 plus times three player picks EA, do it okay and then bring more gamble SBCs just kind of spice it up, right? Bring back the good OG foot birthday vibes that we know and love from last year with the party bags, some gamble packs, good upgrade packs and crank up that player SBC hype and it'll be a good week of foot birthday for the second week in FIFA 22 so let me know what you guys think down below in the comments, if you lost some coins it's gonna be all good I know a lot of us have myself included another coin total is higher than it's ever been the last couple of weeks have been insane but with this market downturn it was almost inevitable to lose some coins because all the prices that were dropping so if you did enjoy this video smash the thumbs up on it and of course subscribe if you are new but it's been Nathan Ford Accountant I will catch you guys later, peace.


Hello traders at CMC markets. Welcome to another update by RRG Research for Thursday 1st of June and I'm recording this here in London. My name is Trevor Neal and welcome to this TA Extra Report. This morning we're going to focus on the NASDAQ and the Dow Jones in industrial average. Now from this relative rotation graph here with daily sampling you'll see why that is. We've got here major global indices and we can see that the US indices are very disperse. We've got here right up here we've got the NASDAQ along with the Nikai. We've got the S&P close to the crosshair here so moving with the benchmark which is the MSCI world we've got the Russell here a little bit to the right of 100 and then we've got the Dow over here and in the actually in the lagging quadrant and really stuck in in their short tail not really moving but the NASDAQ has got a long tail and is moving very very strongly. So a very disperse picture we've got the technology stocks in in particular two of the technology stocks NVIDIA and META absolutely leading the pack they're all relatively strong but those two are really really generating the strong outperformance in the NASDAQ itself but the industrial average is lagging behind it's the weakest of all the US security so let's have a look at those two indices and see what the chart is because after all the NASDAQ may offer some potentials in form of a catch up but let's see if that's really the case starting with the Dow Jones industrial average and a daily chart will go short of term in a moment first the week let's look at the relative rotation graphs lines the ratio and the momentum both of them below 100 in here slight improvement but it's really still looking very very poor that's what we saw in the RIG graph in we see a significant area of resistance at 34,300 high high high high high they're very stubbornly holding the market containing the market and making it this is a very poor performance we're in a intermediate term downtrend and the support is at this low here at 31,300 let's jump now from the weekly chart to a short term chart now there's a daily chart of the Dow Jones industrial average the as you can see significant tops in here high high high high high high high these are all pretty close together at 34,000 to 13,000 34,300 we're in an intermediate downtrend now we have seen already that the RIG lines both the momentum and the ratio are below 100 so relatively poor performance against the MSCI world this downtrend channel here now lower highs lower lows in place there is support down at 31,400 approximately but the move here is is downwards and there's a lot of resistance above really this whole area up in here is resistant and we're moving below it now so that the weak situation in and as in the Dow Jones industrial average is looks like continuing there's a tech 100 index it's been soaring since January we picked that up in in RIG back right back at the beginning of the year broke the downtrend line powered ahead pulled pulled back powered ahead retested the August 2022 highs eventually broke it and then had to pull back soared ahead and then now we've got this the situation in this perspective with daily charts is that the RIG lines both above 100 looking good the RSI two tops in place here but a strong uptrend is behind it but it's a little bit of hesitation from the slower reacting MACD we've got a gap widening in the difference between the MACD and the signal line so increasing momentum from that perspective but let's zoom in on this area here now is there an opportunity in here or are we topping out now this is a NASDAQ with each bar being an hourly bar so we have got the part of the big surge up we have topped out at 14,520 then we've come down with set of lower highs here not perfectly drawn I've got to say but there is a perfect we are easing back I put in Fibonacci retracement in here the point being that we have not yet reached 38.2 so if it were to stabilise here or above then that's a very has very strong implications for the next leg looking like being as long as that leg upwards if we stabilise here if we stabilise lower then we have to be more conservative in in our projections if it comes back to 61.8 almost two thirds that's a lot of selling coming into the market that is bullish and so we must be respectful that the trend may be slowing up ending even so at the moment it could be just another opportunity like that or it could of course be the top which is it look most likely to be well the MACD as you would expect is pointing down so at the moment we're easing back the RSI also lower highs in place here it's actually the value of the RSI is at 44 so it's neutral at this moment so it's gone from bear bear you know downtrend in the RSI to a neutral reading holding up so it's too early to say that it's a it's a buy I think the aggressive traders the short-term traders would look very very leased for the downtrend line which is approximately at 14,300 just about 14,300 to be broken to say there's a resumption of the trend then the protection is a very obvious place would be the recent low of 14,210 that's a there if that were to happen so if we were to steady up today then the implications will be for another very strong move because the pullback has been so weak however we could drive lower but I would use the same strategy as we are still in the intermediate term in a strong uptrend so we still treating this as a reaction rather than a reversal and if it were to drive lower still below this downtrend line I'd use the downtrend line as a signal of a reversal back in the direction of the trend the low that proceeds it as in this case here but it could be lower as time goes on then that would be a good protection level but further we go down then the more modest the likely next move would be so I think the strategy is to approach it from the bull side use you still use this as an opportunity it still looks most likely as an opportunity and not a top in the market not the end of the move and so we're structuring the trade as a good risk-reward ratio and the quicker it happens it reverses upwards the better the opportunity will be another opportunity would be to do a pairs trade between the NASDAQ and the Dow Jones the Dow Jones is weak and looks like getting weaker it's like it's detached completely and the NASDAQ looks like a good place potentially to enter the market even though it's been going up since January I will leave it there for this session and thank you very very much for listening it's from me Trevor Neill at ROG Research I look forward to talking to you again and may the trend be with you
