This is how narcissists hypnotise you. The narcissist will induce a state of consciousness in which you lose the power of voluntary action until you become highly responsive to suggestion and direction. They may also do this to recover suppressed memories and to allow modification of your behaviour. They will put you in a mental state like sleep in which your thoughts can be easily influenced by them and they will do this by using a pattern interrupt which is a technique that NLP practitioners use to help people step out of bad habits. But the narcissist will use this technique to create new bad habits by influencing you and changing your behaviour and it can be very effective. It's even used in sales because it has the power to change people's behaviours assumptions opinions and decisions in an instant by using a series of interruptions to break your routine habitual thought and behavioural pattern. A pattern interrupt is anything that surprises you, anything that interrupts your thoughts and states to grab your attention because it compels you to change your instinctive reaction and behavioural pattern. It sparks and refocuses your attention by changing the momentum and direction of an interaction and whenever you are not able to be calm, cool and chill in a situation you are highly susceptible. You are likely to be influenced or harmed by something which is what they want which is why they will try to break your train of thoughts to put you in a more suggestible state to brainwash you, to pressurize you into adopting radically different beliefs and they will do this by using systematic and often forceful means. They will indoctrinate you, they will condition you, they will do whatever it takes to get you to believe whatever they want you to believe, they will get you to take on the role that they have assigned to you because they need you to validate the illusion so that they can exist in this false reality that they have created for themselves. If they can get you to believe it, it makes it more believable for them and then they can feel safe and secure. They can feel comfortable because now there is no threat to the illusion, there is no threat to the false narrative that they have created inside their minds which is just a story that they are telling themselves to justify the abuse, to justify how they are treating you because every abuser needs an excuse, they need a reason for what they are doing, otherwise it would trigger them to self reflect and then they would feel shame but they are shame based individuals who are doing everything they can to avoid reflecting on their shame which is why they use hypnotism and brainwashing tactics, it's why they have to put you in their suggestible state where you will listen to them more than yourself which is what they want because they see your mind as the enemy, it's a threat to the illusion so they will try to turn your own mind against you, they will try to make you think you are going insane or that you are inherently bad or wrong because in actuality they already know that you are a good person, they may even recognise that you are an empath and they know that if they get you to think that something is wrong with you, you are going to seek assistance and approval from them which is what they want even though they know they are just manipulating and abusing you and they mean you know well, they still want you to do that because it gives them even more power over you, deep down they know that they are abusers but they don't want you to see them as abusers unless it is in a situation that gives them more power, other than that they will want you to see them as innocent and as though you pose a danger or a threat to them because that allows them to have further control over you, it keeps you locked in as they are subordinate while they maintain power and authority over you, it may seem like you have any normal conversation with the narcissist but then they will finish your sentence for you as though they have already assumed what you are going to say, they will cut you off, they will use the pattern interrupt tactic, they will break your flow, they will break your state of mind because they already know that by them doing that, it will create cognitive dissonance, this state where you will experience inconsistent thoughts, beliefs and attitudes and it may even cause your behavioural decisions and attitudes to change, they will do things that may just seem to cause an inconvenience to you but it actually goes much deeper than that, because by doing this they are breaking the flow, they are causing you to experience psychological stress and discomfort by making you engage a behaviour that does not align with your values or beliefs, which creates conflicted attitudes, beliefs and behaviours as you try to break with the two opposing pieces of information because when you genuinely have a disconnect between two conflicted beliefs it makes you feel uncomfortable, which drives you to resolve it and it will even threaten your identity and sense itself, it will make it difficult for you to live an authentic life aligned with your personal values, cognitive dissonance isn't just a psychological theory, it's a scientific fact and it's something that people experience every day, people may believe that they love animals and that they should be treated well but at the same time they eat meat every day, so they may feel uncomfortable when they think about where their food comes from or they may be trying to improve their health and lose weight but they also love chocolate cake, so when they eat dessert they experience some dissonance which is normal and healthy and it can help us to improve ourselves and our lives, it can push us in the right direction but narcissists use dissonance to push you in the wrong direction and it is something that will be unfairable and detrimental to you, they create a sense of urgency, a feeling and attitude that a task must be carried out quickly and with great intensity, while also establishing the path of least resistance, an option avoiding difficulty and unpleasantness, the easiest course of action because it avoids confrontation, difficulty, awkwardness and tension but they will also do it in a way that is covert, in a way that is under the radar, it's a notice that doesn't get too much attention so it looks like you made the choice on your own, they will say things in a regular voice, they will say things under their breath, they will direct your attention to certain things that you wouldn't normally take notice of to break your train of thought, to get you to adopt radically different beliefs so that you become who they want you to be rather than who you actually are, because they want to degrade and humiliate you, they want to discredit and lower your dignity and status, they also want to test your willpower and strength of character because that is the greatest opposition to them being able to control you, so they will break the flow, they will put you in a state of confusion, they will induce cognitive dissonance and then they will give you their suggestion, they will give you that particular idea by associating it with other ideas and then they will attach a restrictive label name or description to you so that they can assign you to a category inaccurately and since you're already in a confused state of mind and you're unable to think clearly because they've already broken the flow with you, it will affect you on a subconscious level and they're already aware of this, they know that it's effective, they know that it has the power to change your values beliefs and behavior and to prove it you've only got to look at their pattern of behavior, you've only got to look at how they repeat the same actions again and again because they know that it's effective if they didn't think that it was they wouldn't do it, so they already know what they're doing, it is conscious and deliberate and it is intended to get you to take on their suggestion and feel differently about yourself which they will achieve by treating you a certain way once they've put you in a suggestible state, they will treat you as though you're bad, crazy, different or wrong as though you don't know what you're doing, they will act like they're trying to correct you or put you right as though they're free from mirror or in accordance with fact or truth or they will dismiss you as unimportant so that you begin to take on these feelings, you start to feel like you're less than you actually are as though they're more efficient and capable because when they break the flow they act very confident, they show certainty about something to make you less confident because they always hold opposing views, they're never in agreement with you, they're always trying to confuse you so that you experience cognitive dissonance and when they pop out acting as though they're so sure of everything, they're so confident and courageous but really they're actually very insecure because they're just trying to make you think less of yourself, it's not for a worthwhile cause, they're not leading you to something useful or important, they're just trying to get you to develop a psychological bond with someone who you should be seeing as your abuser or captor, someone who is treating you cruelly and unfairly, someone who has caught and confined you, imprisoned and enslaved you, someone who means you know well and yet you begin to identify closely with them and you may even have positive feelings towards them because they act so smooth and confident to the point where you begin to distrust yourself, you begin to doubt your own memory, perception and sanity, you begin to feel like you're losing your mind and then they've got you wrapped around their finger because it's likely that they've isolated you to where they've become your only source of influence and they will act like they're trying to help you so that you confide in them and you trust them when in actuality they're just driving you straight to hell, they're trying to pull you down with them but at the same time they're portraying an image that is very different to what they actually are, they're very insecure and they have low self-esteem but to habitually harm and intimidate you they act confident and outgoing, they're noisy and loud, they act like they're sure of themselves while making you unsure so that you end up following them but if you are a powerful and confident individual they will just continue to use the pattern interrupt, they will keep breaking the flow to make you second guess yourself, to make you feel small but you can use their own game against them by realizing that if you are so weak, vulnerable or small then they wouldn't have to do any of that because they would have broken you down a long time ago, they do it because they're the ones who are weak and unsure, they're the ones who lack the power to perform and they know that you're greater than them, that's why they're so insecure, that's where they bully and coerce you, that's why they have to hypnotize you to try to bring you down to their level and then put you beneath them so that they can preside over you, they may act like they want something better for you but really they don't like strong or confident people, it intimidates them, it makes them feel worthless and unimportant in comparison so they need people to be weak because they want people who they can control and to do that all they have to do is constantly be in your presence because although they are weak your ego may take control and you may believe that you can correct their weakness when that is what pulled you down because you care and you're trying to resolve the situation and you see potential because at times they are confident as though they're capable and efficient but the reality is that a person who is truly confident and short of themselves will uplift you, they're not going to pull you down, narcissists control you through acts of weakness through pulling you down to their level because that's all they can do, they have no power of their own which is why they're not confident and it's why they can't uplift you, it's also the reason why they feel the need to control you and harness your natural energy to feel and support the illusion so that they can continue to delude themselves and to think that they are something special, when the reality is that they're only doing that because they already know that they're nothing, thank you for watching,

So, last year I was made into a physician. This year I'm a nurse. I'm actually a respiratory therapist and those aren't my credentials. It's okay. Hello, my name is Thomas Knowles. I'm the manager for respiratory therapy and the Center for Advanced Sleep Medicine at University Hospital Geneva Medical Center. I'm honored to be here with you today at the 2018 World of Patient Safety, Science and Technology Summit to present you with University Hospital's commitment. University Hospital is a leading health system in the United States committed to saving lives and impacting the long-term health of the population we serve in a positive manner. The health system includes several freestanding hospitals and health centers across the state of Ohio and together we strive to provide exceptional quality with our number one priority being to ensure safety of our patients. University Hospital's Geneva Medical Center is one of those hospitals, a small but mighty 25-bed critical access hospital focused on providing essential surgical and comprehensive treatment for the patients in our rural community. I was on the stage last year at Dana Point, California and it really feels like, is this the same stage? No, no, it looks just like it. Sorry. At Dana Point, California announcing our initial patient safety commitment, which was focused on detecting signs of early clinical deterioration and prevention of failure to rescue scenarios. Continuous monitoring proved to be effective in early identification of clinical deterioration. In addition, remote notification of patient's worsening condition was demonstrated to be crucial in the timely intervention of staff and members, thus preventing failure to rescue due to opioid-induced respiratory depression. However, we were pleased and pleasantly surprised to find that care coordination in population health were enhanced due to detection and referral of previously undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea. And we were able to send those patients for further evaluation in the sleep center. This year, we are committing to upgrade this system to include full vital signs capability. It is our hope that the addition of temperature and non-invasive blood pressure and hemoglobin parameters will help us to identify patients at risk for complications such as sepsis or gastrointestinal hemorrhage as part of our ongoing strategy to facilitate hospital culture of zero harm. Since our initial commitment was made back in 2016, I am very excited to announce that University Hospital Geneva Medical Center has saved a total of 61 lives through our work to improve patient safety. Thank you for the opportunity to share this commitment with you today.


Bon dia a tothom, good morning. Presentem aquestes jornades que es divideixin en una sessió d'ara al dematí i després en una altra sessió a la tarda, que col·laborem amb el projecte Inserge of Freedom, amb l'associació també Béletrina d'Eslovenia, a la Universitat de Barcelona i també la Fundació Ciprano-Garcia, que ens acompanya a la Rosa, saps? Per aquí, no sé on està, aquí, darrere, el que explicar. És un projecte que porta pel tema de la transnacionalitat, aquesta memòria comparada, aquestes històries comparades, que sempre és el nostre referent permanent de l'observatori europeu de memòries d'aquí de la Universitat de Barcelona. També agraïa aquesta casa, com sempre, la nostra casa, l'associació dels espais i, òbviament, agraïa també l'assistència dels professors que m'acompanyen avui en aquesta taula. Començarem amb la professora també d'aquesta casa, catedràtica, marinaix, companya i amiga, que ens parlarà d'un cas comparat també amb el que passava i aquests imaginaris del mai 68 i realment, a veure què passava en un país com aquí, que també es buscaven moltes llibertats i no les institucions, perquè estàvem vivint una dictadura que el 68 encara semblava que no s'acabaria mai, per dir-ho d'alguna manera. Després, el professor clàssic i el professor seca també de la Universitat de Zagreb i de la Universitat de Bersòvia, que l'éssim, amb aquesta espècie de casos comparats, ens presentaran una mica que em funcionaven aquests moviments també, buscant llibertats, noves aspiracions polítiques, socials, econòmiques, de gènere, etcètera, a la llogos làvia del 68 i a la polònia també del 68. Penso que el nivell d'aquest projecte és molt interessant, de fet és un projecte també cofinançat com altres dels nostres projectes per al programa Euroforcitizens de la Comissió Europea i d'alguna manera, sense enrotllar-me més, i abans de donar la paraula professorament i naix, recordeu-vos que som molt benvinguts també al nostre treball interdisciplinari de l'observatori i que el que s'ha de fer, precisament, és intentar buscar aquest intercambi d'experiències i aquest intercambi a nivell de projectes diuen de bones pràctiques, dels processos de la història i de la memòria que confleixen d'un costat i l'altre de la nostra Europa, tant convulsa i que, a més a més, sembla que tampoc acabi de superar les múltiples crisis des de fàtimes tantes dècades. I, a més a més, aquestes efemèrides que sempre també aprofitem i per què no aquests programes europeus d'història de memòria aprofiten aquestes efemèrides dels 50 anys del 68 en aquest cas i en aquest projecte, també altres tantes efemèrides que celebrarem. Recordar que farem també moltes activitats a aquí Barcelona properament sobre el tema d'un altre efemèridi, els bombardejos de la capital catalana, i no només de la capital catalana, i esperar que la jornada sigui molt fructíferes i que seguirem a la tarda amb una altra aula d'aquesta casa. Moltes gràcies, també gràcies a l'Oriol per l'ajut i la coordinació i a l'equip de l'observatori, també el públic que heu vingut i que penso que trobareu un interès en les conferències d'avui. No me'n rellomés i m'he dit fins a la paraula. És un aspecte de debat que hem de tenir després. En el cas d'Espanya i Catalunya, el meu argument seria que el mes de 1968 no era un water shed en la història política d'Espanya. I, de veritat, la singularitat del cas que tenim en el debat d'avui en el cas d'Espanya és basada en la longa dictatòria de Franco. Per tant, això pot accountar la distinctivitat de l'aplicació de protestes, de social protestes, aquí a Espanya, alhora. És cert que, en la dictatòria de Franco, hi havia entreteniments de tradició, oposició polític, resistència, i el feminisme que ha escombrat l'ordre establitzat. Però, de vegades, el meu argument seria que, generalment, aquest challenge es fòcores a través de l'idea de la distinctivitat política d'Espanya i d'enviar la llibertat i la democràcia. Per tant, en el cas d'una llibertat, pot ser que la llibertat o la llibertat ha de tenir més fòcores en polítiques que en el context de Paris de 1968. A partir de mes de 1968, en Paris, en la protesta, en general, han estat descrivits com un partit, el que és el nou moviment social de l'anàlisi de 1960. S'ha emergut a l'anàlisi d'un llibertat civil en l'U.S. i en l'Irlande, passivisme, liberació feminista, moviments anticolonials i altres. I és generalment que estan basats en informes submerges. Està passant a l'estat d'un llibertat i de l'invertiment de la llei. Ahir, a l'estat d'un llibertat, hem de fer moltes eleccions i practicar desidots a totes les organitzacions informes i la lideràcia non-hierarchic. Els jugadors que estaven als llibertats en l'Ajuntament de 1968 eren joves, dissenjants europeus que van fallar contra el establishment i que el hierarchy entrenjat en les unions i les partit polítiques que necessiten restreint, jeszcze afiliat i disciplina els interessants d'un SALT Juan, cap al que exigeia leadership, pel que eren leaders, i control polític. Aquestes formes d'organització f amb unentitiu i encapsulat ...self-management, informal membership and flexible action. They are also very highly associated to collective identities, collective identities that foster the notion of belonging, of belonging to an imagined student community. These young, non-conformist students challenge capitalism, the political system, consumer society, cultural standardisation, alienation. So this youthful non-conformism, I would say, I would argue, is an essential part, a crucial part, of the protests of May 1968. There's also another aspect I would like to discuss, which is the idea that there was an existential questioning of the meaning of life and freedom, so that the search for freedom in the case of the students, the youth of May 1968 had to do with disenchantment with life, an existential questioning. There were rebels without a cause, I would think, that was the 1958 film, but by then they had gained a certain idea of a non-defined cause, would be my argument. In this sense, as I mentioned, the idea of existential questioning to my mind is very crucial. And here we have the quotation from Ducca, who said at the time that May 1968 was basically sustained by existential disgust with a society that chatters on and on about freedom, while subtly and brutally oppressing the immediate interests and needs of individuals and the people fighting for their socio-economic emancipation. The anti-authoritarian students aimed to change society, to develop a new age, a new age that at the same time was very much in line with the new technologies in their way of protesting. And here I will go back to the 1964 Marshall McLuhan's classic work and the famous phrase that he coined, the medium, is the message. In other words, in asserting the isentrality of the media, a notable example of this kind, this form of protest to my mind, is the development of innovative practices, collective imaginary, and at the same time, new representations and the use of the media to communicate dissent, like we have here in many of the images. And in this case as well, I also want to comment on the social performativity that to my mind is also central to the social protest of 1968. Social protest, that, as we see, used slogans chanting the streets and from the images we have here, all the symbolic symbols involved with that. And social performativity, as I've mentioned, to my mind is central and here I have the quote from Ironman who states that social movement is a form of acting in public, a political performance which involves representation in dramatic form, as movements engage emotions inside and outside their bounds attempting to communicate their message. So we're talking about the ability to communicate their message, a political public performance which involves drama, which involves representation. And this, to my mind, is my understanding of what the social protest of May 1968 is. And that, to my mind, is what I will use to understand what happens in the case of Spain. Is it a social performance? Is it non-conformance? Is it counter-cultural? Does it engage with emotions? Is it a non-defined protest in its goals? And here we would have, before I go on, an example of what I understand to be social performance. Drama on the streets, engaging with masks. This is really thinking in terms of the time, attracts the attention and also attracts the attention of the media. And finally, my argument would be that, following on Melucci, that the freedom, the search of freedom involved in May 1968 in Paris would be or could be understood in terms of freedom to be. Freedom to be. Freedom to be, not to achieve, political rights and democracy, but freedom to be. Freedom to be free from the social conventions of the time in the case of the non-conformist students. Now, in contrast, in the case of Spain, the Franco dictatorship leaves very little room for subtle oppression that causes existential disgust, asco existencia. Franco Spain was blatant in its subjugation, in its absolute power, in its unremitting repression that eradicated fundamental rights for 40 years and just a reminder that in September 1975, shortly before his own death, Franco had his last five victims executed by firing squad. So that is the degree of repression that we have at the time. And another feature I would like to bring to mind is how the Franco state was based on national Catholicism among, as we know very well, but it also set up a patriarchal gender system grounded on male hierarchy as a corner of the new state. A corner of the new state that set up laws, legislation, that openly and blatantly subjugated and oppressed women. And I think that is also to be taken into consideration when we talk about the feminism, this movement that emerges at the same time in the late 1960s and early 1970s. And as well, the Franco regime not only used law and order and repression, but it also implemented a new representation of feminine identity, female identity, as what is known as the perfecta casada, the perfect married lady, the lady who is totally dedicated to the family, to the children, to her husband, and totally subjugated to that. So there is a representation of what women's role is in society and what their identity is, which will be one of the, I think, very clear reactions and reconstitution of a new identity by the feminist movement that will take place at the time. So it will be a reaction to the Francoist view of women. The universe of the left is complex and I do not have time to go into it in much detail, but indeed in Spain the repression left very little room, as I mentioned, for existential disgust for counter-cultural movements. Again, the left in Spain was generally founded on orthodox Marxism, socialism, and even though, as well known, was a minority radical left of Trotsky's Maoist Marxist Leninist, they did not highlight a revolutionary agenda that included critical debates on consumer society, on social conventions, as manifestations of power. The strong political identity of the left meant that the workers' movement, trade unionism, and the left politics. So that the working class, the left represented a social class that had been harshly defeated and suffered stark repression. So their agenda, their goal, was amnesty, the overthrow of the Franco regime, and the establishment of freedom and liberty and rights. And the fact that they worked in underground context, all their operations were secretive, clandestine, that also meant that leadership was a very clear issue, hierarchy, leadership, discipline, unquestionable acceptance of order shaped the clandestine world of the left. Why? Because of the harsh repression. There was no way there could be self-management, open discussions, open debates at the time. And if there was some idea of social performance, social performativity, here we have Santiago Carillo, the head of the Communist Party, and it is true that he appeared in a wig in Spain. But this was not social performance, it was simply in order to be able to go over the border to get into Spain disguised. So I don't think one can take a reading on those terms. It is not the mask that we have seen in the images of the Protests of 1968. The student movement, yes we could attempt to find issues of counter-culture there, but at the same time it's also a clandestine left under the dictatorship. And although there are recitals, some new forms of practices of activism, like sit-ins at the universities, etc. the idea of freedom was associated with the end of the dictatorship in most cases. So there isn't a mental map if you wish that allows them to develop counter-culture values at the time. There were of course readings in this university at the time of Mark Goose of photocopies that came in an underground way to discuss things. But again, I would argue that despite the capacity to mobilize, Marta Harnaker I don't know if there's anybody here who actually read her, but the seminars and the discussions were based on a book by Marta Harnaker which is a simple compendium of Marxism. And this is what we were reading at the time, rather than Mark Goose, Mark Goose also circulated, but this was really the way the major contact and readings that students had at the time. There were, as I mentioned earlier, student movements. In fact, before 1968, in 1966, the major movement in Barcelona was what is known as the Cappucinada, when the young Catalan students at the universities of Barcelona they had a sit-in together with some intellectuals in the monastery of the Cappuciners, the Cappucin Monastery in Pedro Álvarez. And during that period where they were having the sit-in, as you can see, dress formally in their suits and in their ties, remember that when students had exams at that period in the late 60s, early 70s, the day of the exam they would wear suits and ties. So this is what's happening here at the time. Although we may see some photos of young men in cordroy jackets which is also associated aesthetically with the left. As you can see from these images, these are the well-dressed, serious and even to some conventional students in the sense that their fight was a fight against Franco. Now, there is a space where there is some kind of culture which would be more an association with May 1968, la Gauche Divine. And in fact it's actually I think quite significant that they call, they use the French word, la Gauche Divine. The divine left. Now what are the characteristics of this group? It was a very short-lived cultural movement that included intellectuals, writers, artists, filmmakers, models, photographers, architects, designers and where were they from? They basically came from the progressive circles but of the middle and particularly the ones cosmopolitan, families of Barcelona. So they were the young generation of rebels against their own families who were nonconformists in their way of behaving. They would behave specifically in what was termed at the time nonconventional, scandalous behavior. They were bohemians, they were night owls. Here what we have is She, that's the more recent one. She was one of the main photographers of the time this is one of the photos of the time which indeed obviously disconcerted well being Barcelona society of the time and these were some of the photos they used that sheet that were published and here we have Teresa Jumpera the model that represented the Gauche Divine. Now they came from the Barrio Alto, the upper class, they would meet in the famous discotec bocaccio, and they would spend the summers in the chalets on the Costa Bra, in Begur. So this is where they are, but they are the non-conformists, they fit in a lot better with May 1968, but they were also considered as superficial postures from the perspective of the serious left that fought against Franco. Now we do have other elements as well, the anarchists movement, what can we do about that? Anarchism, as you know, was indeed until the post-war period, one of the major groups within the Spanish working class movement. Now anarchists as well, they also looked to the past, they were defeated in the civil war, and the anarchists reemerged who were present in the late 60's, 1970's, their framework was the civil war, their framework was the dictatorship, they were not at all happy with the idea of counter-culture and non-conformism at the time. So that was their reference, but however by 1977, so we're speaking further down the line, there is a revival, if you wish, in Barcelona, with the Hornades libertarias in 1977 in July, this conference or this meeting of libertarians in Barcelona held particularly in the Parque Güell, and this took on a counter-cultural aspect and features. They debated on art, education, urban development, feminism, ecology, they were filmmakers, trade unionists, feminists, who took part in this, and they attempted to establish an alternative culture that advocated non-conformism, activist outlook on life, and it was celebratory. Pepe Rivas, who was the director of Ajo Blanco at the time, related this experience in 1977 to an intersection of the experiences of exiled libertarians of the 1930's, May 1968, and the Latin American anarchist movement of the time. And there is indeed, I think, a very, very strong difference. There is no existential disgust. This is a joy de vivre, this is a hopeful experience of life. It is very optimistic and approach. It's not a rejection of the, as we have seen in the case of the 68, of conventions, in the sense of oppression. No, no, this is a way of looking to the future, which in that case, I do not think it fits in to what May 1968 would be. And there were over 600 visitors to it. And also, I just wanted to mention that there is a link with feminism here, because in the 1977 meetings and in the Parque Güell of the Libertarians, Mujeres Libres, the women's organization, that had reemerged by then in 1976, took part. This group, which is quite singular in the fact that it is an organization that reemerges in contact with the organization from the 1930's, the war organizations. And here, again, we can speak of the tension, the generational tension. The older Mujeres Libres, free women, they looked to the civil war, to politics, to more doctrinal ideology. And the young feminists were non-conformists, they were talking about sexuality, they were talking about sexual freedom, life-affirming attitudes. So this is another aspect of what we can speak about there. And then finally, in my remarks, the women's movement of the time. Now, it has been argued quite forcefully that the women's movement is a direct legacy of May 1968. François Beek has argued, and she argued in 2008, for example, that we have to understand the feminist movement, and I'm quoting, as a legacy of May 68, since it has reincorporated the political conceptions, forms of organization and variety of actions that came from the May 1968 movement. I disagree with that understanding of the women's movement in Spain and Catalonia at the time. Again, why? Because, again, it was in the context of the dictatorship. So one of the aspects of the women's movement is the fact that it is politically oriented. It is within a political culture of opposition to the Franco regime. And the apprenticeship, the learning process to later become feminist, also comes from the fact that they are organized within the clandestine movement against Franco. And also they have a very clear perception of the oppression by the Franco regime on women, as this will show you there. The penal code, the civil code, and the law against what was called social dangers, which had to do with homosexuality, which were the Franco laws against women, which oppressed them directly, as I mentioned earlier. And this is another example of it, so that the women's movement emerges precisely to eliminate the Franco regime and achieve freedom. And I think it's also quite significant that amnesty is on the agenda of the women's movement very clearly. But amnesty is on the general agenda of the opposition movement against Franco in the transition period. But my argument is that the women's movement, the feminist movement redefined their understanding of amnesty. So we could speak in terms of a feminist amnesty, a new reconceptualization of what amnesty should be. And in this case, this amnesty is defined, or redefined, not just as amnesty for those people who are imprisoned because of their political activism, but also the women who are imprisoned because of the specific Franco laws against women. And so in this case, there is I think a very wide definition, and it's also a political definition. I'm going to read a quote that I don't remember whether I have it with me or not, I don't think so here. From a 1977 statement of the journal Donaldson Yuta, the feminist journal, it said in this definition of feminist amnesty, embracing a wide range of demands. It says, fighting for an amnesty for women is fighting the role they want to impose on us. Fighting for the right to our own body and our own identity. It is fighting discrimination in prisons. It is fighting for our dignity as people. To stop being fodder for reproduction, fodder for consumption and repositories of male honour. So I think that definition gives us some insight as to what the agenda of the women's movement is. It resonates somewhat with 1968 in the sense that no impositions the right to their own body, the right for their own identity, identity politics as we have seen is central to these movements. It's also fighting the discriminant women in prisons, dignity and of course the specific issues that the women's movement will develop. For example, they no longer want to be repositories of male honour and fodder for reproduction. And these are some of the main goals that the women's movement attempt to achieve at the time. And I think this is very well expressed by Núria Bombella that the identity assigned by the Franco regime, the perfect married lady, it's been very clearly questioned here and it's been clearly questioned from the major aspect of the women's movement and the major achievement that the personal is political. So they have a political identity fighting against Franco but the feminist identity also emerges at the time from the personal that establishes that the site of female repression is precisely the family, the home and the personal. And I think this is very well seen through this and there were many of them at the time I think that Núria Bombella was very, very incisive in her visualization of this. And this was achieved to, this is another aspect, to identify women's oppression. Now this was the malaise without a name that Betty Friedan had spoken about. Rebels without a cause. But now this cause is being identified very clearly and the site of oppression is no longer just a sign to the Franco dictatorship but also to the personal relationships within the families. And I think this is rather important to remember. It is based on experience. It's not imagined. I would probably argue that the students of 68 it was an imagined oppression to some extent. Conventions in society that they resisted. In the case of women this develops out of their shared experience which is what will lead on to actually establishing a major social movement of the time. And just to give you other ideas about that, I mean how this is visualized and the notion I want to go back to final, to performatility. As I mentioned earlier I understand social performatility to be one of the major ideas behind the May 1968 movement and I think this happens here. Anyway, one of the campaigns by the feminist movement was the campaign against the penalization of adultery. Just to remind us there of those who are not familiar with it on the Franco regime women were severely penalized for adultery. It could go to jail because of that whereas the men were not. And there was a specific case in 1976 where a working-class woman had been married, had a daughter, had... I'm going on, aren't I? Okay, not to worry. And so her... and her husband had abandoned her and she had a second child with another partner. He reappeared and claimed the daughter and then she was put on trial and she was to lose her child. Now I think the interesting feature here is the inter-class connection. This woman who was from a working-class area she did not go to the left wing parties or to the trade unions. She went to the feminist movement to defend her which she did and she was hit by the feminist movement and there was a big campaign in Barcelona at the time. The interesting thing I want to talk about here is that the identity politics behind it. One of the ways of the protest was women coming along and with a placard saying, I am also an adulterist. Which were the images, but I can't go back to them, I don't think. That I had shown here of significant women within... This is Maria Angelina Núñez. No? It's not happening. There we were. Okay. This is social performance and I think that is one of the ingredients of the feminist movement. However, and finally, social performance, cultural artefacts. We find that that is the calendar, one of the first feminist calendars. And my final question would be, now has this got to do with May 1968 or is it another legacy? So what do we do? I mean, are we really speaking about the grandchildren of the suffragists? Because with the suffragists in 1918, 1916, 1918, decades earlier, we have social performance. Maybe it hasn't been recognized as such. But they performed in public. They were transgressive. They had transgressive public actions. They dressed up. They had their bands. They had their uniforms. In the street, in public, they performed transgression and protest, public protest. Different ways of understanding that public meetings are, as many of them did, tomatoes, stones, thrown at politicians, etc. So they occupied the public arena. They gained notoriety. They behaved scantestly in the light of the times. They attracted media attention. So the media is the message then in 1918. Or perhaps we could think in terms of that, the women's movement is not just a legacy of May 1968, but has a long, long previous history before that. And I think it's up to us as historians to go back and identify and see what are the commonalities and what are the differences regarding May 1968 and the protests. Thank you.


Thank you everyone. So yeah, my name is Bablu Singh and I work with CEDA as a data scientist which is Ireland's research centre for Applied AI and today I have come here to talk about a topic that I really feel it is close to my heart. It is the ethics in the generative AI space. I think that we as developers sit behind computer screens trying to build products that can have massive impact on the society and this might lead us sometimes to focus a lot on improving the accuracy of the algorithms or trying to optimize them for achieving better results and we might tend to overlook the ethical side of the technology. Speaking of technology, I think generative AI is the next big thing and it has already shaken the world because it is able to do things which we were not expecting to happen this soon and I believe that it is an exciting time to be alive because we are witnessing a revolution in the history of technology.  With code as its canvas and data as its hue, generative AI brings forth something completely new. Unseen patterns emerge like morning dew and ethical perspective we're here to pursue. Amazing right? So I created this video entirely by using generative AI and I did not write even a single line of code to create this. So how did I do it? First, I opened chat GPT and I said, hey, I'm going to present at EuroPython. My session is titled like this. Can you generate an intro for me and make sure it's poetic and short? So it came up with this text. I then converted this text into the speech using this tool called 11 labs. So I selected a voice that was artificially generated in an Indian accent. I then created my AI avatar using the tool called Lensa AI. It asked for some selfies from me and it then created this avatar. And finally I combined all of this together using a video tool called DID. It's an AI powered video platform. So this is what generative AI is all about and today we are going to look at how at the ways in which it can impact our society. So let's start with the businesses. I think there are two words, one that is outside our screens and one that is inside our screens. And we often focus a lot on the platform from where we consume a lot of content and this content I think will be soon powered by generative AI for having an identity in the virtual world. It is required to have a social media account and generative AI can not just only create images, audios and videos. It can also create and generate code. A lot of my friends are into software engineering and they are already using chat GPT for debugging their code, for asking feedback on some piece of code and even for automating certain piece of repetitive task. And I think you will all agree with me when I say that every online business needs to have an excellent customer support service. We already have chat bots that can handle a great amount of queries on itself but if they are powered by generative AI, I think the response time is going to come down drastically and the conflict resolution rate is going to go up. And in marketing I think it is very important to send the right message to the right person at the right time. And with the help of generative AI, it will be possible to create highly targeted personalized marketing campaigns. And finally in education, I believe generative AI is going to be a game changer because it can act as a personalized tutor and the best part is that students can ask queries round the clock anytime and no judgments will be passed no matter how silly the question is. So these are some of the ways but I think there are many more. And according to a report by McKenzie, generative AI has a potential to create up to 4.4 trillion dollar business in upcoming years. And that's why I say that it's the next big thing. But with every technology, there is some risk associated with it. In this case, I have bifurcated the total risk into two subcategories, the known risk and the unknown risk. Under the known risk, we have things which we know that they can go wrong with the current state of our generative AI. And in the unknown risk category, we have things that we have still not figured out because the technology is still evolving and there are still so many questions that are there for us to figure out. So let's first look at the known risk and I have further bifurcated it into five categories and we will be looking at each of them individually. So the first one is misinformation and deep breaks. So these models are predictive in nature. The large language models are trained in a way that they can predict the next best word in a sentence and the information which is produced by these models might not always be true, although it might seem that it is true. So for example, this incident happened in Manhattan where a district court church fined two lawyers $5,000 for submitting fake cases in a legal court filing. And the lawyer said that we made a good fake mistake in failing to believe that a piece of technology could be making up cases. So this is what it can happen. And let's not forget, it is the same chart GPT that passed the law school exam. So this is the irony. Now let's look at deep picks. So what are deep picks? Images, videos and audios that look real but are actually fake. Sometimes they are created for fun purposes, but other times the intentions behind these videos and deep fakes might be malicious. So a recent scam came out where the scammers use artificially generated voices pretending to be family and friends in distress and asking for money. And a lot of people lost thousands of dollars in this. And a similar scam came out where a deep fake was circulated on Facebook. It was deep fake of Martin Lewis, who is a UK based advisor in finance. And the video was asking people to generate, the video was asking people to invest in an opportunity which was backed by Elon Musk. But in reality, no such opportunity existed and people again ended up losing thousands of dollars. Moving on, we have next risk as security and privacy. So the recent developments in the space of generative AI has created a rat race where people are building products and they're just deploying them out there without realizing the security concerns.  So this incident happened where Samsung employees accidentally leaked some confidential information to charge GBT. How did this happen? So an employee was asking a feedback over some piece of code and he pasted the confidential code to the charge GBT. Now, as per the as per the policies of open AI, the information that is sent to charge GBT is retained for training purposes. And unless you opt out from it, the data remains with open AI. So it is very important to not use any confidential information while using such platforms. Further, these models hold a risk to data privacy. They are trained from a large amount of data that is available on internet and many lawyers, many authors and many artists are now suing open AI because they feel that their copyright issues have been violated and that the open AI has stealing their content. Moving on to the next risk, which is the bias and the stereotypes. So these models are trained from data that is largely available on internet. Now the data might be racist, sexist and anti feminist and it might also be carrying some other types of stereotypes. The old saying in the machine learning world, garbage in and garbage out still holds true. A study was conducted by Bloomberg on a tool called stable diffusion that generate images from text inputs. So some 5100 images were generated across 14 different job titles and it was found that high paying jobs were linked to lighter skin tones. So high paying jobs such as lawyers, doctors, architects, CEOs and the lower paying jobs such as genitors, dishwashers, fast food workers, they were dominated by skin tones, darker skin tones. And not only this, if there was some gender bias also. So for images like with the job titles like teachers, social workers, housekeepers, they were mostly dominated by women. And moving on to our next risk, which is the environmental impact. So large language models such as chat GPT are huge. They have billions of parameters and their ability to generate text come from this, from their size. So big size means bigger computation and which comes at the cost of environment. According to a research, the amount of carbon dioxide that was emitted to train GPT three is equivalent to carbon dioxide emissions of five cars in a lifetime. And that's only one model. So not only the carbon footprint of these models is high, but Sue is the water footprint. So charge GPT requires 500 ml of water to run a conversation of 20 to 50 messages. And that is for a single user. So imagine billions of users using it at one time. So this number scales up to very high. So not only the training process, but even the inference is costly. And next move on to the explainability part. So over here, we can see that we give some input and then it goes to some black box and we get the output for a wider adoption of generative AI. It needs to be explainable. The current state of AI is black box. Now we understand the architecture that we are using and we can reproduce the same output by crunching some numbers. But these models show emergent capabilities and no one knows at what size which capability might emerge. And we don't know why a specific image is coming when we are inputting some, some text. So these models are still a black box and generative AI needs to be explainable for its adoption in sectors like healthcare, finance, etc. Moving on to our unknown risk category. So the unknown risk category raises important questions about the effects of generative AI on the society. As this technology becomes more and more sophisticated, it is crucial for us to know what impact it can have and what potential consequences we might face in future. So we don't know what are the long-term effects of using generative AI and we don't know how humans will coexist with another intelligence and what that society will look like. There is also a fear that some jobs might be replaced by generative AI. And I think to an extent it is true, but we have always seen technology creating new jobs. So I believe that it will be a different landscape. We will have a new employment landscape. We will have different types of jobs and it will be interesting to see how we transform our skills to the new employment landscape. Who is responsible when something goes wrong? So determining responsibility of generative AI is a complex issue. Multiple stakeholders are involved and they play a crucial role. There are developers, there are organizations and there are policy makers. So developers hold the responsibility for ensuring the ethical development and deployment of such systems and they need to make sure that these systems safeguard the, safeguard the people from risk and the biases. And then it's the responsibility of organization to establish guidelines and regulations to govern the use of generative AI. And finally, policy makers play a crucial role in creating comprehensive frameworks that addresses challenges that are posed by generative AI. And there is this one more interesting question which is becoming really popular these days. Will we be becoming emotionally dependent on AI? We don't know. So we are having conversation with AI assistant tools like they are our friends or they are our colleagues, but emotional dependence is an area of concern. It might help us. It might make us feel like we have a companion, but we don't know if it has any negative effects and there needs to be a perfect balance between human and human interaction and AI assistance. And we need to strike a perfect relationship with this technology. And this one is my favorite. Are we going to lose our skills? So writing, painting, creating things, this is what makes us human. And if AI is going to do this, then what will we do? It is, however, I feel that it is unlikely that AI would completely eliminate these abilities from us. And in such a scenario, it will be crucial for us to bring forth the abilities that set us apart from AI. So AI can't bring the personal experiences into the artwork. It cannot replicate a certain creative style. So it is important to foster our creativity and look on the side which makes us human. And there are many more unknown questions that we still don't know and that we still don't know how we will be addressing. But the, so like I have delivered so many bad news to you today. So now is the time to deliver some good news. I think that the global landscape surrounding AI regulation is witnessing developments in various regions. And there will be a unique approach that is being adopted by different nations to address the challenges that are presented by this technology. In United States, the national strategy for information technology, which is the NSIT framework has been released for guidelines and self-regulation of within the industries. So this framework ensures that the privacy of the individuals is respected while encouraging the development of artificial intelligence. Moreover, the states like California and New York, they are coming up with their own laws. So the laws enforced by the states plus the national framework together will promote the development of technology responsibility and it will protect individuals' rights and interests. So the EU AI Act has emerged is like the frontrunner in this field. And I think it is likely to become a global standard. So the act not only highlights the permissible and banned use cases of AI, but it also mandates organizations to conduct risk assessments before implementing new AI systems. Within this act, EU aims to strike a balance between fostering innovation and state safeguarding fundamental rights of individuals. And China has also made significant investments in AI development and has recognized its potential impact on the society while the countries primarily target organization. So the country is trying to target the organizations that are producing products based on generative AI, but it is not targeting the generative AI. So you feel free to use it for research purposes, but when you are using it for commercial purposes, you need to be more careful. So this is an interesting thing. And I think it will be very important for China to bring laws that safeguard its country. And moreover, these laws are implemented in a way that the socialist values of the country are not hindered. So that's all from my side. And if you want to know about the work that we do with CEDA, please check this website. And if you want to connect with me, you can scan this QR code where I talk on Instagram about AI. So that's all from my side. Thank you. Thank you very much. And as always, if you have any questions, please come to one of the microphones. So if I may, first of all, thanks for the talk. It was great. I'm just wondering about the research in this area because someone yesterday at the keynote mentioned Max Degmark and his book Life 30. And one of the things he mentions in the book is that the funding when it comes to AI safety is not great. So I'm just wondering what's your opinion on this? Has the situation improved? Is there research? Is there any funding on this topic? Yes. So I think that what I feel is that currently there is a centralization of power in the sector. So all this big tech have the resources, they have the data, they have the money to run these big GPU farms and make these technologies. But on the other hand, the open source technologies are also being funded. And there are some great initiatives happening. So it's by hugging face and blooming. There's this one tool, something blooming. I can't recall the name right now. But yeah, a lot of things are happening. And I think it is important to have an awareness first. So if we have awareness and if we have more people, then I think more people will come and work towards the security and privacy issues and the other issues as well. Okay, thank you. Okay. One question regarding the environmental impact you were presenting. Where did you get the data regarding the electricity consumption and water consumption from? Like what is the base on that? Yes. So I have included the slides, the resources, like this was some research conducted by researchers at some premier institutes. And I have included the resources in the slides. So you can check them out. I can share the slides with you later on after this session. Concerning mainly image generating AI, but also kind of all AI, it references a lot of its data from the internet as a source. So such as social media for image generative AI. Once it picks up in popularity, will this AI start referencing other AI generated images and producing its own accuracy by referencing inaccurate data, do you think? Sorry, could you please explain the elaborated one? So say we ask an AI to generate as an Apple and it generates as a not very accurate Apple, but then... This Apple or the other Apple? Well, it searches the internet for what an Apple looks like, but then it pulls a lot of data from AI, which have generated not perfect Apples. Do you think as we fill the internet with AI generated images, the AI will become less able to generate accurate images? Yeah, I think that it might create certain problems because like there are certain pictures, like when you create pictures of humans, you see disabled figures, like there are four fingers in hands and some disemputed arms and some other things like it can never get right with the arms and the limbs. So, yes, there's this problem and definitely the saying that the garbage in garbage out remains true. So if you feed in these kinds of images, it is going to generate these kinds of images. If we fill the internet with more garbage from the AI, though, is there anything checking that we're not entering this into our data? So there's this term called AI polluted, like these images which are generated by being called as AI polluted and there are certain tools. So I know that Google is working on creating a tool and I think it is already out there to check if the video is AI created or specifically the image, if the image is AI created or if it is true image, like the real image. So yes, people are working and I think there are tools out there to look on this. Thank you. Thank you. Hi, thank you. When you were talking about unknown risks, you mentioned that we'll have to see how we will deal with another intelligence. Do you consider generative AI intelligence and if so, what are the ethical implications of that? See, well, I personally don't think that it is intelligent enough because we understand how it can impact our society and where it can go wrong and we can make it produce certain outputs which might not be intelligent enough. But then I also presented examples where people who are not technically linked to this field might feel that this is very true. So the example with the lawyers, they failed to see that it's and they are lawyers. So they know that these are the real cases and these are not. So it is intelligent enough, but not that intelligent yet. Thank you. Thank you. In case there are no other questions, let's thank the speaker again.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Today we're talking about Footbin.com, the best supplementary website there is to go alongside of FIFA Ultimate Team. I'm gonna take you guys through how to make some coins on FIFA by using this website. There's a lot of stuff this website offers and I wanna take you through all of it today and especially through some of the most helpful tips that I can give you about watching the market, knowing SBC, trading with SBC squad solutions, knowing the player game performance tab, knowing about the market indexes, just all the stuff that this website can do, it can help you make coins in FIFA just because this is such a powerful research tool. This is the best FIFA website that is just, other than being on the game, this is the next best place to do and especially for research for player prices, looking at graphs and just kind of getting a basis in a sense of what could be a good investment when prices are low and prices are high. This website is a great research tool among many, many other things. By the way, Footbin, if you wanna partner up, hit me up man, always open to it. This is the best website on FIFA Ultimate Team and I would love to rep it, just saying, all right, cheeky plug. Anyways, let's talk about this website, footbin.com, if you guys have never heard of it, I'm sure you have, but let's talk about a few things that we can do. Of course, we know that you can look at player prices, it'll show you the price updated, usually within a couple minutes. Of course, now at the end of the year, there's just not as much hype, so three hours, four hours. Of course, when there's more special cards in the game as we get towards the end of the year, a lot of the special cards get updated faster and more often because those are the cards people are searching up more. I know Footbin has multiple different ways of how they actually get their prices updated, but we'll talk about that in a little bit anyways. But these get updated pretty quickly, so this is very reliable, especially early on in the game. Of course, all the in-game stats, the best chemistry style that you can put in each player, but this is what a lot of people come to Footbin for, these graphs, because these graphs are so detailed, they start right away. Last year, we had the Footbin graph starting earlier than ever, they actually started during the web app. In years prior, they only started on the, either the EA access kind of release or right around the actual early access. So when people pre-order the game, that's when the Footbin app and the Footbin website graphs would start up. But last year, they started with a web app date, and I think that is gonna happen again this year, I would expect it to. As you can see, the first day was the Thursday, so technically that was the first full day that the web app was out last year for FIFA 20. So yes, we all know, all right, it shows you the cards, you can look at the graphs, you can go down to an hourly graph, we're gonna spend so many videos, so many different hours just looking at these graphs and kind of explaining and analyzing what that shows us. This is the biggest part that Footbin gives in my opinion that we just love and the way they present it to us, clean, simple, good looking, great. And you can, of course, make so many coins off of these hourly graphs and daily graphs, knowing fluctuations and knowing which kind of cards move when certain promos or certain things come out on the game, certain link investments, of course, these hourly graphs will kind of show you rarity as well if you know a card is more rare, you're gonna see those ups and downs a lot more than a card that isn't as rare. So that's the big thing that people come to Footbin for, but there's a lot of other things that get overlooked and those are the things I wanna talk to you about today, things that you may not know that'll help you make some extra coins in this game as well. This is one of the best additions last year, I thought, just a side note for the chemistry style of voting. Of course, people wanna anchor on this Lucas Hernandez card, that is a GG. All right, back to the homepage just for a bit. I wanna show you guys a couple, little parts of this website that you may not have known. Now, this website literally has everything, man. You can look at objectives, you can look at, you can build a squad, you can do a foot draft simulator. What? Like what? You can like open packs on this website that are like, they really mean nothing, but you can open packs. So if you ever get a pack, you know, the hankering to open some packs and it's like November and you're like, man, I don't wanna put FIFA points in, there's no good cards in packs. Just come on Footbin to rip some packs, curb your sensation and then get back to trading, right? That's how you can do it. Anyways, I wanna show you the first thing that a lot of people don't know and it is the cheapest by play, cheapest rating, cheapest players by rating, tab on this game. How you get here is you go to the SBC dropdown and you click on cheapest players by rating. This is the money page. We're gonna look at this so many times this year. I've looked at this page almost every single video on my channel that is like a market update or a market analysis video. We look at this page almost every day because SBCs drive this page and with more and more content coming out from EA Sports, we have to know when is SBC fodder rising, when is SBC fodder dropping? This page right here is your one stop shop just for seeing the prices per rating, what they're going for of SBC fodder, the lowest prices of players by that rating. So this is a huge, huge page that we're gonna use a lot throughout the year. I'm gonna link all these different pages inside of footbin down below in the description so that you know where to go to find these as well instead of just for me showing you. But you go to the SBC dropdown for this, go to cheapest players by rating. This is so useful if you're an SBC investor, even if you like to trade with SBC cards, it's gonna show you in here some of the cheapest players that are listed up by rating. And as well, if you're somebody who likes to trade with footbin solutions or SBC solutions, these pages right here will be crucial for you too because these guys that are actually shown as the cheapest, Arangiz, you know, maybe Daily Blend, Yovic, Pereira, Ramsey, there's some of the cheapest 83s right now. But if it's a time where the market is popping, a lot of people are doing SBCs, these cards are in demand. A lot of times, the guys that actually show up as the cheapest are not actually the cheapest because footbin will register that price at 6,000 coins for let's say a guy like Ramsey, but then he gets put in the cheapest solution. People are looking for the cheapest solution and the time where his card does not get upgraded on footbin, the price doesn't get upgraded at 6K. People start buying up 6,000 coins, 6,200, 6,500, maybe even up to 7,000, 8,000 coins. This card will get sales at in a fluctuation because he's in the cheapest solution on footbin. That's what we're gonna talk about next. As you look at a lot of these squads, let's look at this Leeds United, Rodrigo Moreno card. All right, we're gonna click on completed challenges and we are going to see if we store it by price here. The cheapest version of this SBC is right here, 151K for this Rodrigo card and you're going down the list, you're like, wow, the next cheapest is 172 and then 190. This could save me 40,000 coins off of that second solution. All right, well, if we go out and look at these players, you know what, you're paying 82K for a debris and if you actually went out and looked on the market, since this SBC solution is rated this low, I doubt. If you actually go out and buy all these players right now for what they are on the market, I doubt it's what it exactly says it is because everybody else that wants to do this SBC when it is out of the time, especially if it's just dropped, if it's hype in the first 24 hours of when a big time SBC drops or a repeatable icon upgrade SBC or something that is a repeatable SBC that requires more than just like 11 gold players, you're gonna see a lot of these cards actually be a lot higher than what they say. Savage might not be 4.5K, you might be 5K. Navas might be 30, Calahon might be 12, you know? Stuff like that happens a lot because people are looking for the cheapest solution so they go on here, sort by price. It shows them that it's the cheapest but the prices are actually more expensive on the market and that is a way you can make coins is by noticing those trends and flipping cards. Just like we do with Inforum's icons, cards on the lower end of the SBC fodder range fluctuate all the time based off of this stuff too. Of course it is dependent on demand and there has to be SBCs out that people wanna do but that is something that a lot of people have done. This has grown a lot in popularity, especially this last year and I expect it to be even bigger this year with more and more content released every year from EA Sports. Let's go on to another market type thing right here. This is the index page. This is one of the indexes, the icon index page. I use the icon indexes, the special card index, the gold card index. Basically if you go to the top row here, you drop down on market and it shows you all of these indexes. Basically what these indexes are, if you look, I think there's like a little info page somewhere in here. It shows you or it'll maybe tell you like what exactly is, oh what is this page right here? I guess I could just look a little bit further. Basically it tells you what some of these indexes do. Index icon tracks the price of all icons. Of course that'll be 100 for FIFA 21. The players in these indices are weighted equal and for their independent value of price, they can be used to measure how the player prices develop over time. Let me just give you the easy way to explain this. This right here is a 24-hour live graph of how the market of icons especially has moved. This is very, very useful on a Sunday, on a Saturday with Weekendly Excel Off. You see a lot of this stuff turning down and it's also very useful on a Wednesday night or a Thursday of rewards where we had the market usually going up, Thursday flipping. This is the kind of the way you can see, hey, the market's doing good on this Thursday after awards or maybe the market's kind of staying even keel or maybe even going down depending on what's going on in the game. But I use this page a ton on Thursdays and honestly Fridays too. I use this page a lot on Fridays because what happens is you usually see a lot of sell-off into the morning of a new promo coming on a Friday, maybe the first hour or two, you see another little bit of a dip and then after that people buy their teams for Weekend League and you see this graph especially shoot straight up because icons are rare, they're not very packable and people need them in their squads for FIFA. That's one of my favorite ways to trade to be completely honest with you is promo Friday trading and this year's gonna be great for that of course as always and this graph is gonna be a big help because it's also gonna show you possibly some icons that might be trending downwards or trending upwards if you're an icon trader, these players down here. Now a lot of people know about this so sometimes you have to be quick with it, right? You might have to sit here, refresh this page a couple of times and wait for a player to pop up that wasn't in the original list. Let's say like this, let's say this Deutsch cards card just popped up, right? It says 28 minutes ago, let's say updated 28 seconds ago. You say boom, all right, there's one at 139 and there's just got an undercut at 128. I'm gonna go snag that 128 or I'm gonna go add that to my watch list and hopefully see that somebody looks on footbin and says, hey, the lowest price is 128. That means I'm gonna undercut that by four, five, 6,000 coins but then if you go down and look at the graph you're like, man, I might be able to get a sale and like 140,000 coins on this card from his normal daily trends, right? And that's where you can make a lot of coins with the icon index and with these prices in here. And again, one thing that I just mentioned is a common thing that we see on footbin that a lot of people don't know about as well, right? StorageCoff right now is listed at 128, right? A lot of people, let's say somebody who plays FIFA they just packed this middle 90 rated StorageCoff as an icon card, they're stoked. They're like, how much does this card sell for?  They're gonna search up StorageCoff. They're gonna see this. They're gonna see he's going for 128K on the PlayStation, 168 on the Xbox and they're like, all right, I just wanna get my coins. I wanna get the sale so you might undercut by 10,000 coins. At this price level, a 10,000 coin undercut, you can make some profit off of that. So a lot of times what you'll see is when somebody is on a downtrend on the market, right? Some of these icons, especially in terms of icon trading, this can be very useful because you'll notice the card's on a downtrend. You can sit on that card or sit on the 59th minute and look for undercuts and snipes and make even more coins that way. So that's why I love this index page. It is very, very useful. I use it all the time during the heat of the year when trading is poppin' and it's great, right? Use this page, you're gonna love it. All right, one other thing I wanna show you. The FIFA 20, this is 20, of course, the PGP Player Game Performance. This is key, yes, this is key, early game, all right? This is something that you need to know how to use this in early game, FIFA 21 this year, right? Click the Players tab, drop down to PGP, Player Game Performance. I'm gonna sort this by gold cards just to show you how it's gonna look in the first couple months of FIFA 21. Check this out, right? This is what we use it for. The total number of games played. The most used gold card in FIFA 20 was Neymar, the most used gold cards, Neymar, Kilian Abape, Baran, Conte, Cometo, Sun, Walker, Frill and Mendy, Van Dyke, Leng Le, all right? This is massive in the first two or three months. This page right here is gonna show you who people are using in their squads, right? It's gonna show you what cards are kind of meta and this is gonna help you out with Thursday and flipping investments. It's gonna help you out with just trading in general. If you know which cards are hyped up and which cards people want to buy, you look at some of these guys that are on this list at the top, man. Their price is fluctuated all year long and of course not, I mean, look at this graph, bro. Every single week with Abape, dude. His graph looks like a rib, right? It looks ribbed. That just means that there's a lot of hype with this card, he's constantly bouncing up and down. Now, of course, you look at the full trend for the year and it goes up and then it trickles downwards. But again, you see all these ribs, right? And these are on a card like this, when you're going from a graph that goes down to, like, what? 50,000 coins all the way up to 1.2 mil. Some of these swings are pretty drastic, man. Look at this. We have one week, Monday, he's 970. By the end of the weekend, weekend league, he's a mil, 50. So that's almost 100,000 coins. Dips down to about a mil again. Dip goes up to 1.1 the next weekend, goes down to 1.05. Back to 1.1. Down to 1.05. Up to 1.15, right? These cards like this in the PGP page are the ones that fluctuate the most and they're really good to trade with early on. You're gonna see informs in here. Inform Surge Hourier last year in FIFA 20 was like one of the top cards on this screen right here, the PGP, because he was one of the most used informs. In the game. You look through a lot of these gold cards and it just goes to show you what kind of cards. Now, of course, this looks a lot different right now because Neymar and Bape, Veran, Kante, these guys were used a lot at the end of the game as well, but some guys on here probably weren't used as much since the beginning of the game. Usman Dembele is still 14 million games. Musa Sasoko, 13 million games on an 81-rated gold card, right? Who else in here? There's some other really low-rated cards that are mostly like early game plays. Furlan Mendy, 18 million games on an 80-rated left-back card. Now, we all know the story about him, but still that's pretty crazy. So again, if I had to give you guys a tip for using Footbin in FIFA 21, all I would say is learn the website, poke around, look through some of these things, right? This ones to watch and play are the month live tabs under this live section right here. This is so very useful. These get updated very quickly and it's very nice for tracking player the month cards with investments, with an SPC that comes out like this. You're gonna learn which cards are gonna move, right? That Vardy SPC that came out, Player of the Month Vardy, that came out early in the year last year, just destroyed all Premier League strikers and a lot of strikers throughout the game because this card was so cheap and just good value at the time. The last thing I'll show you is just the entire players list, right? If you go to players dropdown, FIFA 20 players, this is like the number one place to do research on finding players in a certain position. I love this page by either searching sometimes rating if we have a lot of promo cards and you wanna search 85 raids with promo cards or let's say I wanna search for good SPC fodder or good, you know, there's gonna be a lot of players needed very soon at the early stages of FIFA 21 for the advanced SPCs, right? So let's look at left backs that are Spanish. How many Spanish left backs did we have that were gold, of course, because we don't care about Tots and all these SPC cards at the start of the new game. So last year, these were all the Spanish left backs that we had. Reggie Lund is a non-rare, Jose Angel, Escudero, Johnny, like this is the kind of stuff that I would look at if I'm doing a research on footpeg. Now, of course, we don't have the full database yet. Hopefully that comes soon. It didn't come yesterday. Hopefully it does come soon. But the biggest thing here is I just wanted to show you guys the amount of stuff that this website can do is incredible. You can look at past FIFA's. There's cards in here from FIFA 10, unbelievable. The latest cards to be added. Again, a little bit of a snippet of the most popular page on footpeg, the current team of the week. New players, you can tell when they update price ranges. That's in here somewhere. Yeah, price range updates. You can look at all the lists of team of the weeks. I didn't even show you guys this. During the year, this is a very popular page that we look at because footpeg puts all these team of the weeks together and we can go through and it's a really nice way to keep track of prices and if we're trying to trade cards and stuff like that. So that's a GG. And then of course I can't mention footpeg without talking about the tools, right? There's a thing called the footpeg import. Now I think if I go in here, it might tell me what to do. But yeah, basically you can use this website. If you haven't looked up anything on this, it's very easy, very self-explanatory. But basically you log into footpeg, you log into the web app and footpeg will analyze how many coins you have in your club on tradable items and it will tell you, it's a great way to basically define if you have a lot of silvers or bronzes that might be selling for some astronomical value or even non-mere golds when certain SBCs come out. You know, it's good to do. Some people do it once a week. It's something kind of good to do if you want to. And as of right now, I don't think it's against terms of service. So again, footpeg is the best website to do a lot of your research on. Big ups of footpeg, they've been killing it for the past couple of years. They've really cemented themselves as number one, in my opinion, as best website to use. But I just wanted to bring this video to you guys today to give you some tips to how to use this website to maximize your profit in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team.

Elections are coming up, so why would you want to vote? For starters, if we don't vote, politicians don't listen. Politicians are in charge of so many things. Local schools, services, leisure centres, fin collections, posts and sites. If we all vote for politicians who will improve these things, we will all benefit. It's also important to know that you don't have to live in a house to vote. Travellers who live in a trailer can vote. Travellers who live on a site can vote. Travellers who live in a flat or house can vote. We can all vote. Registering to vote means giving yourself the option to get involved. You might wonder how to choose who to vote for. You can search what people or the parties they are part of have done online. It can be helpful to look for politicians who have helped people like you or who have the same beliefs that you do. Gypsy, Romance, Travellers, Votes Matter. And the more of us that vote, the better. Get your family involved, talk to your family, friends and other people you know about what voting means to you.
