Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another Stephen King video. From the title, you can already expect how this is going to go. I've made updates on Discord, on the community tab here, and I honestly don't know what to say. First, I want to preface this with I was wrong. Never have I been so wrong. I've been known to have said that writing a story, book, or whatever what have you that takes place during COVID that does not mention COVID seems kind of revisionist to me. It would be like writing a story set during the Spanish flu and nobody mentioning the Spanish flu. It would be like someone writing a story set during World War II and not mentioning World War II. It is a huge cultural milestone. I was wrong. And let me explain why. This book that we are talking about today is a Holly by Stephen King. That's how far I got. And that's as far as I'm going to get for the foreseeable future. So there will not be a review or a Thursday theorist anytime soon. It felt like it might not be, but it felt like COVID was mentioned on every single page. And if it wasn't COVID, it was something having to do with Trump or whatever. It was literally like reading Stephen King's Twitter feed. Now I am on the same side of the aisle as King when it comes to politics.  I could not finish it. I got about 150. No, it was right at 156 pages into it. And I finally just stopped. As far as I know, it could pan out that COVID has a meaning here. But from other people that I have talked to who have read the book says it has absolutely nothing to do with the plot. He just kept droning on and on and on and on, bringing up in situations where it had no purpose whatsoever. And yeah, I was wrong. It is possible to write a book that is too much about the time frame. Now had the illness, the disease, the virus had that been a plot point. I might have continued reading, but from what I understand, people telling me without spoilers, that it really has nothing to do with the book. It just has to do with the time frame. Now King has done politics and everything his entire career, going all the way back to the stand, maybe even before that, but the stand there were politics that were power dynamics and all that stuff.  And I know, I know the comment section is going to turn into a dumpster fire. But he used to be subtle about these things. And he was subtle, in my opinion, until Holly. Now I know many of you are going to disagree, especially folks on the other side of the aisle. That's fine. But yeah, this is this is too much. In my opinion, I didn't enjoy reading it. There is not a single thing happening in this book that has piqued my attention. And now we're going to go into minor spoiler territory here. And I mean minor, because it maybe this will bring some more people to read it. I don't know. There's absolutely nothing supernatural in this book. And that second hand information from other people, I didn't get there. But I started asking, I was like, hopefully this is supernatural, right, right, right, right, right. And they all told me, no, it is just your average thriller. And I hate to say this, but I am of the opinion that this is the most Dean Kuntz book that Stephen King has ever written. It felt like Kuntz. It had the odd quirkiness of a Kuntz book. It had the heavy handed preaching. It had everything bad from a Dean Kuntz book. It is what we have here.  This is just my opinion. And I took so long doing this for a couple reasons. First off, I've been busy. Second off, I really, truly wanted to finish it. This is the first Stephen King book that I have ever had to not finish. There were certain triggers in here that got me. But that's beside the point. It just wasn't a fun story. There was nothing interesting going on. Even Holly seemed kind of not really nerfed. I mean, she was her basic self, but she was so, of course, obsessed because of her nature. So obsessed with COVID and everything with that, that it just became too much. And even that aspect of it, the way I've harped on it in the past and things, it just made me sit back and say, this is not entertainment. This is preaching. And I don't want to read it. I don't want to finish it. So while we are here, I have one other thing to say, which kind of sucks here at the end, because it is a very positive thing. But I've said all this negative stuff beforehand. One of you out there by the name of Moxie was nice enough to send me a UK copy of the book. And I truly, truly appreciate it. Even if I don't like the book itself, I love the look of this book. I think this is once again, it's just my opinion. I think it's nicer than ours, just because it fits with the Institute a little bit more on the shelf. But that's neither here nor there as far as quality. This is a good cover. I think this is a great cover given the subject matter of the book. And thank you so much, Moxie, for sending that. You also sent this book that really piqued my interest. It's called Folklore of Guarancy. I'm probably going to murder that by Marie DaGheri. Maybe? I'm not sure. Maybe it's just Marie DaGheris and I'm trying too hard. But yeah, so those are my thoughts on Holly. If you were expecting a review in a Thursday theorist, I am very sorry to let you down. But these are my feelings about the book. And I have too much going on right now to force myself to read a book that is literally enraging me. Now for the giveaway. What I'm going to do is I'm going to pull up the video right now. I'm going to scroll, just randomly scroll my mouse wheel. And I am going to pick someone. And when I come back, you will have your winner. And we have a winner. And it's someone who is constantly in the live streams, who is constantly popping into the comments. It's Bookable. So congratulations Bookable. If you would give me an email to churchofthechair at gmail.com, send me an email and I will get the book out to you. Make sure you leave me your address, of course. But congratulations to Bookable. Sorry that I had to give the announcement at the end of a very negative video. But I do hope that you enjoy your book. But until next time, I have been E, you have been U. This has been another Stephen King video. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye bye.


The majority of U.S. medical schools have a presence on popular social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, but few have policies in place to guide student behavior when using these platforms. Of those that do have policies, only a small percentage specifically address social media use. This suggests that medical schools need to develop policies that clearly define acceptable and unacceptable online behavior, as well as encourage thoughtful and responsible use of social media. This article was offered by Terry Kind, Gillian Jenrich, of NeatSaudi, and others.


Hey guys, it's Nate A.K. the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. EA brought a little bit of hype back to the menus yesterday with one of the favorite SBCs of Ladder Times and FC24 being released back on the game because it's an SBC that's so easy to complete and it's really good value. We're talking about a pack SBC, the latest content that was dropped yesterday, and content that is up coming and of course some EA mistakes that keep on reoccurring with one specific card that we have to look at in today's video as well. If you're excited for it drop a thumbs up, subscribe if you're new. Let's go talk about that SBC content because that is actually where the only content that we had yesterday was dropped was inside of SBCs. Daily challenge SBC yesterday was the magic four. Again, if you're doing the completionist objective, that was out for you. Pretty easy to complete like 3000 coins. And we move on from there to the upgrades where we had a couple different SBCs. First of all, we had the 82 plus upgrade. Guys, I think a lot of us were hoping for an 80 plus player pick. But unfortunately, we are left with an 82 plus upgrade, which is a higher rating guarantee than usual for an unlimited upgrade SBC pack. And it's not bad value per se. It's just, I think we really wanted a player pick. And the fact that this is a little annoying that it requires four rares and three comments. So I'm not complaining too much about this, because that is a decent upgrade pack. And it is kind of cheap with the amount of gold. So you have to turn into it. But also from opening five six sevens yesterday, it's just an 82 and an 83 rated simulator guys, you might get the occasional 85 maybe a walkout. But it's so many 82s and 83s and 80 plus player pick you feel like just has better weight and something along these lines. And it's okay if you have duplicates when you're doing player picks, right? That's the whole point. So yeah, I think this upgrade SBC is just not liked as much as an 80 plus player pick would have been 19% up voted, but it is pretty cheap. So that SBC can also help you get the SBC that we're going to talk about today that is the exciting one, you probably already know what it is done. And that is the 83 times 10 guys, they brought it back. They required the same thing as before an 83 rated squad and an inform. And it's three times a day. So he dropped this SBC during the first part of team of the year. They take it away when the full team is in packs. And then they bring it back now during road to the final the week after team of the year. Why didn't we have this during team of the year? Yeah, that would have been freaking fantastic. But this is like becoming again, like I said in the intro, one of the favorite SBCs of the year because it's so easy to craft. It is so easy to get done. And you get 10 players back, you basically turn in for it once you get back. And then you hope to obtain a higher rated fodder that you can then put into other SBCs, right? Like from the 83 10s that I opened yesterday, I got two double walkouts in two different of those 83 10s. I know that's good luck. I also picked up a couple of informs as well. So honestly, the 83 10s are such a nice SBC because all you need are 10 or 983s and 282s. And one of those 83s needs to be an inform and you're good to go, especially with informs now being 85 rated minimum. If you pack one, like that's really easy. Then you're turning in a couple of 82s and maybe even some 81s to get that squad done to get a bunch of 83s and hopefully a couple of higher rated cards at the front of the pack as well. 95% upvoted. Honestly, it's restored the menu grind back on this game guys, like it's worth logging in and doing those SBCs because they're so easy to do. I can get them done in like five, 10 minutes. Like it's that easy to do if you need a little bit of help from maybe a daily upgrade like the 82 plus or whatever, you can get that done as well. So that is actually like a really big dub. Honestly, that's that's saved a lot of the hype on the menus, at least in my opinion. And it helps you kind of craft other SBCs with higher rated fodder, for sure. So you know, that was one of the things that we were doing yesterday was crafting a little bit based off of that. And it did in fact make informs rise guys. And I think there's a little bit of investing that's going on here of course, since this SBC is three times repeatable every single day, informs went from 1718,000 coins all the way now to 22k. And they're probably going to just rise the next couple of days, because they're going to be in so much demand for this 83 times and that's the kind of hype that this SBC has like nothing moved the team of the weeks really at all in the past what week two weeks, the 83 times 10 comes out again and boom, informs go up like four to 5,000 cards. So these could continue to go up a little bit more during the week this week. But once that once that SBC goes away, I'd probably say they're gonna drop back down again. It's that SBC in entirely that's making informs move. So I was not expecting informs to rise, but they did GGs if you invested, keep them lazy listed this week. If you have those, I know a lot of us have them on tradable and still the 83 plus player pick is incredibly cheap to get done. So do that maybe with untradable fodder before you do just go and bob one of these team leaks off of the market. But that was kind of the SBC that revived a little bit of the menu hype for sure, right? Because here's the thing with the 83 times 10. I know a lot of you guys are thinking about this too. You're in the between the crossroads of like, do I save this pack because we got future stars upcoming and future stars icons, which we're going to talk about that like how does that even work? I don't know. We're going to talk about that in this video too. But you could save it for future stars that is upcoming or you could open it right now and hope for the chance of packing a card that could potentially be upgradable in the future. So I'm ripping all these right now, maybe on Thursday, I'll save three of them for future stars. We'll see. But this is an SBC that you 100% want to log on every day, get your three done, either save those packs or open them. And then same thing with the 85 plus player pick, right? The 85 plus player pick can be a byproduct of the 83 times 10. If you get some 84s, maybe an 85, put that in there and boom, you have another, maybe not as worth it, but still repeatable every day SBC you can craft from the 83 times 10 fodder in terms of other ratings than just the informs 82s. If you get 82 non rare specifically guys, because the non rare 82s can go as low as 400 coins on bid or maybe 350, but 400 at least 450 on a minimum buy it. Now these cards are going up, they were all 450 yesterday, another 600 a piece. If you can get on these bids of non rare is for like 500 or maybe still 450 list them at like 1100 coins. Same thing with the 83s list those at like 12 to 1300 coins, because people are going to be doing this 83 times 10, they'll be doing then the 85 plus player pick with the fodder that they get. And maybe even the 83 plus team week, which it might have to buy a couple of those cheaper cards for for the fodder range. So I would continue to lazy list those that'll be a good very easy place to be trading 86s price range update, they are now 17,000 coins. A lot of them are still extinct or just now coming onto the market. But EA did update some price ranges on fodder, which was I mean needed for sure. But they finally did that yesterday. And a lot of these 86s are still basically max price. But as I'm looking at fodder, it's it's maybe starting to slightly dip a little bit there. Now that those cards, especially as so many people probably had them at 12k, and maybe we're still even holding on to them, starting to look like they're dipping a little I'm looking at 85s, they're down a little below 7000 coins. I'm not expecting big dips on fodder today at all. We're getting a little bit of supply each and every day from store packs, and then from the tradable packs that are out here in the challenge section, but it's not that much. So fodder shouldn't move too much, but keep lazy listing on the low end. Especially guys, if you're lazy listing your fodder, make sure your listings are going to be expiring every single day, like 10, 15 minutes after content, because that is when you get the best amount of sales, as that's when the most amount of people are going and doing those SBCs. So that's one of the biggest tips I can give you is look out for those. Now, we had a big player SBC yesterday as well. Before we talk about more Road to the Knockouts, more SBC content we have to cover is Carlitos Tevez, and it was his birthday yesterday, that's really cool that they released his SBC on his birthday. He's also been like the vocal point of the season rewards like the T-Fo and all the stuff that's about Carlos Tevez inside of the season. Kind of just makes sense, I guess. Didn't really see this coming beforehand before the leak was released yesterday, but it makes sense to release a Carlos Tevez SBC. Now, this is basically a big name player SBC that is for the nostalgia factor. If you're a fan of Tevez, if you watched them play and you're like, dude, I need this in my club for whatever team you supported or maybe you're Argentinian, this is not a bad SBC, but it's kind of one of those that, again, as we mentioned, is overpriced because of the fact that fodder is expensive right now. It's a little less expensive than I thought it might have been. It's 1.3, 1.35 mil to get done. His card on the market was 1.5 before all this. So it's a slight haircut from that. He is now like 1.2. He was 1.1 on the market. So this one though, I don't know if it's, like, if you compare him, a lot of people are comparing him and Lautaro Martinez as both Argentinian strikers. They have the exact same playstyle plus for technical plus and the same passing, sorry, pace and shooting stats as well on the face out of the card and dribbling as well. It's like, they're very comparable cards, except Tevez has five star skills, the better links, the cooler dynamic image in my opinion. So whatever you want to do with this, do with it. Again, Tevez is a very big name player, one of the biggest thing she rose, especially a new one this year to FC24. So it's a decent SBC, right? It's okay. I'm not going to tell you that you have to do it because I think it is a little expensive. And it's maybe not up to par with some of the other strikers that you might even have in your ultimate team club. So I'll say that about that. But it is nice to have that option to craft and the price of SBC should go down a little bit this weekend, I hope, as fodder drops as well. Now, let's look at the EA content week because they're back tweeting about this week in ultimate team. Of course, we've got the UEFA here SBC, but there's some there's some mysterious things about this tweak tweet that I want to go over guys. First of all, they show Air2Visit and Serie A player of the month. Guys, we had Air2Visit player of the month, Brian Barobi, that was dropped on Friday with the LaLiga player of the month just a few days ago. I don't believe we're getting another Air2Visit player of the month SBC. There's actually two. There's actually a big mistake right now that a lot of people are saying, Oh, but Nate, we're going to get one because Brian Barobi is expiring. Well, there's an 86 Brian Barobi that's expiring in two days. But if you go a little bit further back, you will see that there is another Brian Barobi. This is the one that was released just last Friday. It's 87 rated. That is the Air2Visit player of the month. So we're not going to get another one of those this week. But we are going to get Serie A player of the month. And we know who that is. That is Mr. Vlahovic. He is getting himself a Serie A POTM card. Probably not going to be that expensive. Probably not going to be that juiced.  Actually, that looks, statistics are of course, are predicted here. But that looks very comparable to Lautaro Martinez. I know he's a different player in game. He's taller, maybe a little more of a truck, maybe better at heading. Lautaro is not as good as dribbling. But that's going to be a card that's coming soon.  And then a road to the final, specifically Europa League road to the final SBC, which we know the name of the player who that's going to be as well leaked, Coates, who's in team of the week, I believe, because I've packed his card a couple of times. He is going to be a road to the final SBC soon. And I hope they give him a pretty sizable pace boost. But this one should end up being pretty cheap. Doesn't seem like it's going to be massive or super duper hyped.  And then the real big question mark inside of this is showdown SBCs. Now, what in the world are EA going to drop a showdown for? We've got Champions League it's upcoming next week. So this could be related to that. But there's also some big matchups happening this weekend in the league play as well. There's so many different big league games that could be highlighted by these showdowns. Like there's so many guys Bayern versus Leverkusen is just one of them that I think off the top of my head. But this could also be an SBC that's released on Saturday or Sunday of this upcoming weekend, they would have kind of a tie to the Champions League game. So I don't know what it is I would watch out for leaks. But I would say that I think today on this game, we're going to get a player SBC once again, probably the road to the final SBC or a shot like who knows, it could be any of these things. But I'm down for showdown showdown SBCs are always so fun. They're probably going to be a little expensive as they usually are. But I'm actually excited for that. And then of course, new evos theme team pursuit and upgrade SBCs. So nothing too surprising with that bottom line that's there just about every week. Now, a little bit more surprising stuff happened yesterday with with this card ban. You guys know, we're transitioning into the EA mistakes conversation, right? Because it seems like every single video we've been making in the past, what week now, there's been a new mistake to talk about. And there was a big mistake last week with tele, right before his card was released in packs, all of the silver versions automatically just transformed into the road to the knockouts. And it was like, wow, what a big EA mistake they never commented on it. He's now in packs as he should be. They never said a thing. But yesterday to add on top of this whole situation, all of the road to the final tele cards turned into gold items with the no dynamic image, just his regular face shot on the silver, but they were golds. And I didn't see this on the market at any point in time. But there was a couple hours, I think it was maybe like two hours or so, where all the road to the final telas were gold cards, and they were capped at a max price of 30,000 coins. And if you take a look at his graph, you can see that tele wrote to the final went crazy from like 50k all the way to 400 he was 480,000 coins. He was max price. That was his max price 480 on this card. And then they fixed it. Because you like couldn't list the gold card or if you did, obviously it got sniped right away because think about it. This is the same car as the road to the final. And it was just getting like sniped up right away because that prices is way too low. So this is just this card is just everywhere, bro. I don't even know what EA is doing with this card, bro. I'm just so confused because this card is just like, it just glitches around all the time. It's a gold card, it's a silver card, it's a road to the final. It's a crazy situation.  I hope that none of you guys listed your tele for 30k or like hit re-list all on your transfer transfer list, and it re-listed your card for the max price because that surely could have happened as well. But yeah, I don't know if they're ever going to say anything about this because this is one of the more peculiar situations where our card is literally just changing card types and price ranges, like all at the same time. So really, really weird, but that is fixed and looks to be working as normal on the market now. And then of course, the Mateo Genduzi situation EA tweeted about yesterday as well, right? His card showed that it was Lazio, but also like League 1 League. And this is the second, I think the second or third time this year, remember it happened with Thunderstruck Cruyff earlier on, where they said that a player item was released incorrectly, the item has been updated, and those who obtained wrote to the final Genduzi through the market before the League update will be sent back their ultimate team coins and contacted in-game in the coming days. So it's yet again another situation where you get sent back the coins and guys, this is something to really take note of just because if it happens in the future, I'm not telling you that you needed like look for this and then wait and then go buy the card when this sort of thing happens. But remember with Cruyff, people that bought Cruyff off the market when he had the incorrect playstyle plus on his card, they got 6 million coins back. And that was a really crazy situation that I know a lot of people don't have 6 million coins, but this card was 190K, albeit he was extinct. So it was very difficult to snipe him and to buy his card. But everybody who bought Genduzi before he was changed to Serie A and he showed League 1 will be getting their coins back. Even if they sold the card for 190K or whatever they sold it for, they're going to get their coins back 190K times however many they bought. So it's a really weird situation this year that EA is starting to give coins back. It's not often that they do that for compensation, but now we've seen it multiple times this year. That's something to look out for in the future promos on this game if that mistake is made again. Not to try to take advantage of it, but just to know that that is like a possible way of compensation, I guess. And then again, it's risky to try to, you know, go for a compensation situation anyway. But that's kind of what's happening there. And again, I'm just surprised like giving out coins doesn't seem like a very EA thing to do. But that's the way they've been doing it this year, which is really intriguing. Now, speaking of this card, he was extinct at 190K coins. And yesterday, everybody who was keeping this card extinct, we have some conversation yesterday on the stream about why cards go extinct. Like the 86-rated fodder, that was not extinct because people were buying all those up and just hoping to profit off of that. There maybe was a few people buying at 12K and then waiting for a price range update. But price range updates on fodder, I think happened less than on promo cards. But what was happening here with this Gen-duzi is people were specifically sniping at 190K because they thought that it was worth more than that. And I don't think it had anything to do with this news because this price dropped off before the news was tweeted out about this giving coins back situation. But people started to sell this card as evidently they didn't see the price range updated when other price ranges were updated. And now this card, without a price range update, has fallen down from 190K down to 120,000 coins, which I'm going to be honest, I know that they're not expected to get any upgrades, especially because they play Byron. But like guys, Gen-duzi is always a really good card in this game. He's got French midfield links, medium high six foot one, he's got the hair trait longer hair and game. And he's got press proven plus, which is one of the better place dollars in the game. Tiki taka ping pass incisive pass. This is a really good card. I'm not telling you to buy it. All I'm saying is this is a really, really good card for a budget. If they end up losing their first match against Byron, he's probably going to drop off and be like 50 something thousand coins or something like that. This is going to be a really good budget center mid for a low budget team. He's a really good card. He always, always plays above his stats kind of like, I mean, I'm not going to make the comparison to hold it, but that's kind of what I'm reminded of here with this type of card. A big tall, strong physical CDM with press proven and really good other stats. So that's the card that I have my eye on, but I'm really not buying it right now because really, I don't think he was ever worth 190K. I know yesterday that I was like, oh yeah, he could be worth more than that on the stream and talking about it. But then I didn't notice that on PC, he was like 100K. Even yesterday when this one was extinct at 190 on PlayStation, but he was on the market the whole weekend on, or since Sunday on PC and he was like 110K, I did not notice that beforehand. I thought it was extinct on both and these cards have been really rare. So I was like, wow, there's hype for Genthuzi. He's probably going to go up once they update the price range, but that is not the case because the supply and the panic selling has kind of overrun that. And the fact that he was on the market again, way lower than 190 on PC. If I would have realized that, then I would not have held on to this card if or told you to hold on to the card if you had it. But that's kind of the situation that we are here with this one. I mean, crazy upside if they're even able to draw against Byron in their first match. That card would go up a crazy amount because a plus one in form upgrade on that card would go crazy, especially with again, how good he's probably is in game. So that's enough of me talking about Genthuzi. Those are the EA mistakes rounded up from yesterday on this game. Let's talk about market a bit because we talked about a lot of investing and trading a lot of stuff yesterday and it worked out really good. I sold the Leon Baileys that I bought for 190K. I sold them for 220K. That was a really good flip there. And a lot of these road to the final cards continued to be great movers. Lucy bronze before content yesterday was like 270, 280, picked up a couple right around 280K, sold for some small profits. This Roger was an example of an out of packs card bought for 1.05 sold for 1.155. So I made about 40 something thousand coins there. And a lot of this team is doing well. I bought a Javi Simons for 400K. It looks like he's going up a bit now. Yeah, come on. If we get that sale at 423, we're looking at 440. That's a good fluctuation there. Some of them are down though. Lukaku 924. Darwin Nunez is low. Suley is up. He was in the 240s, 250s. He is up for sure. Gura retains down again. Zambo and Guisa is down, but Marino is up. Gavardiola is up. It's a mixed bag with all these cards. Some are up, some are down. And I just think that for me, like we talked about with the two buy windows for a lot of these cards, we're going to talk about them a lot this week because they're so hyped right for the live cards and the updates, upgrades that they could potentially get. I just think that we're getting, today is one day closer to that second window as we kind of talked about where I do believe that on some of these, there is a lot of investor hype. And we're going to get more supply through this week, which if I have Javi Simons, I'm going to list him right now because he's 439. And I would love to take, oh, I already have enlisted. I haven't listed for a lazy. All right. In two minutes, I'll list him for like 435. If I get a sale there, I'd be very happy with that 14,000, 15,000 coin profit. That'd be really nice. But I think today for especially some of the lower rated ones, I'm going to not buy them as much. They'll still be good to trade with. I think their card prices will be very strong into today. But I think I'm going to start cooling off a little bit trading with these just because we're getting closer to tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday where I think they will end up dropping off a good bit more. But these cards were great to flip again yesterday just to point that out once more. Like they were really good to trade with people are buying them a lot and they're definitely being used in game. So that bodes well for them. But I do believe that we still could see some prices drop later on in the week. And I'm trying to just, I'm trying to forecast that out, especially with the hype of future stars. So if you don't want to mess with that right now, the safer place to be would be out of packs. I'm going to mention it like every single day this week in the videos, like the Roger that I flipped yesterday or like Trent at 106 right now, I think that's an undercut. Yeah, it definitely is. He might be tough to snipe, but this is a card that you can lazy sale and get really good sales on. If you buy him under 110, you can probably get sales like 117. It's not that good a profit for him. So you maybe want to find somebody on a little bit lower level for a smaller fluctuation. But like, man, going through some of these cards, Trippier, I just saw Trippier at 189. Now he's 199. Let's look at his graph. Ice Trippier goes from 183 up to 198. Wow. So you get Trippier at 180. And it looks like you might even be able to sell him at 200, right? 199 and a 202 and a 205. A lot of the out of packs market just continues to fluctuate so well. So spend 10 to 15 minutes looking inside of your budget at Hugo Sanchez at 480. Yeah, tell me more. Like I'm sure he was 540 yesterday at one point. Now, okay, only 514. Maybe it was Sunday. Yeah, Sunday he had 533. So I guess 480 is not really low enough. I need like a 460 or a 470 because I can see where he sells at and it's not high enough as high as I thought. But you saw that I picked up an Adiyemi. That was on my transfer list because that's a card that I know hits 270 almost every single day. And the fact that he was just at 250 on the market, I snagged one on bid for 240. There's a 254, 250 flat. Like if I could see another one under 245,000 coins, that'd be a pretty safe pickup for a flip. So that's what I'm kind of focusing at right now. I flipped the SDM that I bought last night. I'm going to be a little more careful with icons though. I was looking at a few icons yesterday, but with this news of Future Stars icons, which I want to talk about that in this video right now, like wrapping my mind around what in the world, how was a Future Star also an icon? If we start getting leaks for icon players, you wouldn't want to be trading with those and get stuck again, especially if it's an icon that hasn't had a special this year or hasn't had a special in a long time, right? If it was somebody that was in Windsor Wildcarts, I think you're safe. They probably won't get a Future Stars, but just something to kind of think about because this was tweeted yesterday. Icons are coming as a part of the Future Stars promo. And this is the official design. I mean, I don't know if I've ever seen an icon car design with pink on it, but that is interesting. I don't dislike the design. And I think Sheriff doesn't either. He's just crying, laughing because how is a Future Star also an icon? Is it somebody? Is it going to be players who were stars in their younger stages of their career and then turned out to be icons? But isn't that most players? I don't know. I'm a little confused at how they're going to do this, what icons are going to be involved in this. And honestly, it just feels like it's going to be another way where they can put icons into packs, promo versions of icons, and then be able to sell some packs and try to get some hype around that, which I'm not complaining about. I'm kind of scratching my head trying to figure out how is that going to work? So that was one of the biggest leaks of yesterday's content on this game is that we're going to get new icons for Future Stars, which does definitely add to the hype of the promo itself. And one thing I want to look up as well is some of these tweets yesterday, guys. I want you guys to make sure that you know that these are not leaks. These are predictions. I know that sometimes you see a graphic on Twitter, on X, and you're like, oh my goodness, Nate, did you see this tweet about Harvey Elliott, Kwanzaa, and Conor Bradley all getting Future Stars cards? No, it's not all of them getting Future Stars cards, right? It's probably just one of them. I doubt that they do multiple from a team. He also tweeted this about Manchester United, right? This is a prediction with Manu, Hoylund, and Ganacho. We'll see what happens. I mean, I think these guys are kind of just, I think they have some of the leaks already, as you've seen a couple of them leaked. But I think as we get into today, into tomorrow, you start to see more and more of that news about Future Stars officially starting to get leaked. I'm going to list my Shiavi Simons right here for 433. I picked up a Guro reaching at 365, which I thought was really low, and I was hoping that she could go back up to like 400K. But we'll see. She's still pretty low, but this is a really rare card and has a lot of hype. So we'll see if she can get back to 400,000 coins, and then I still have some Xamboy and Gleases right now that I'm working through as well. So we'll keep listing those. We'll keep trading. Today will be another good day to work to market, guys. And hopefully EA have a few surprises for us. Again, I do think for today's content, it'll just be the refresh of all the SBCs that we've had thus far. Maybe that road to the knockouts evil potentially as well.  But I think that the refresh of the regular SBCs, and then either coates, the serial player of the month or a showdown could be dropping today in this game as well. Looking over my notes, I don't think I missed anything. But yeah, guys, that's going to be the video for me today. And I will catch you guys on the live stream as well. We'll be hitting the 83 times 10s. We do an upgrade packs trying to give ourselves a chance at packing a road to the final. Why not? And grinding through some rivals, I haven't played rivals in like two weeks, maybe three weeks, got to get into that because that's kind of what we got to do to get some packs and rewards flowing for this game this week without other gameplay modes to grind. So that's what we're going to be doing today on stream. If you're excited for it, drop a little bit up on the video, comment below if you have any questions, and of course, subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Ford Accountant. See you guys on the stream today. Peace. Out.


Life is filled with lessons. We'll learn some as kids and teenagers. Others will learn when we are all grown. Sometimes this lessons come quickly and at other times we'll learn them the hard way. Perhaps after going through a rough patch. What we need to understand is that learning these things will help us leave a much more productive life. This lessons are there to improve the quality of our lives. However, sometimes the timing at which we learn these things can go a long way in affecting the outcome of our lives. For instance, there are specific lessons that we ought to learn when we are young. If we want to enjoy the best of our lives when we are old and gray. Anyway, in this video, I will share with you 13 lessons you have to learn before age 30. If you are new here, consider subscribing so you don't miss out on exciting videos like this. 1. Nobody will help you. You are your responsibility.  Yes, when you were younger, your parents did almost everything for you, including taking specific initiatives and taking some actions. Now you are older. Who's going to do that for you? Dennis Waitley, an American motivational speaker, writer and consultant, once said A sign of wisdom and maturity is when you come to terms with the realization that your decisions cause your rewards and consequences. You are responsible for your life and your ultimate success depends on the choices you make. For instance, if you want to become the most successful accountant in the world, then you have to take steps to achieve that dream because no one else will do that for you.  2. All the opportunities for growth are beyond your comfort zone. The moment you get stuck in routines, life has become comfortable for you or ignore opportunities in view. Hence, you have to challenge yourself if you genuinely want to succeed. Stepping out of your comfort zone is the only way you can grow and move forward. And when you are young, it becomes easy to spot opportunities and succeed eventually. Of course, it's going to be a lonely road because most people prefer to stay where they are comfortable. But always remember, that's the only place that opportunities lie. Helen Keller, an American author, political activist and lecturer once said, Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. To achieve anything in life, you have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and take risks. Calculated risks. 3. The only person you compete with is yourself. Nobody cares about how you look, what you wear, what you do and how you do them, who you're friends with, the kind of food you eat, etc. So, making efforts to prove to everyone that you've got the fanciest job, house, cars and the likes is nothing but a wasted effort. The earlier you understand this, the better it is for you to live a real life where you are concerned about nothing else but self-development and improvement. Your only competition is you. Anist Hemingway, an American journalist, novelist and sportsman, said, There is nothing notable in being superior to your fellow man. True nobility is being superior to your former self. 4. You can't be friends with everyone, it's time to choose your friends. The people you choose as friends matter a lot. They determine whether you will be successful or not. If you hang around successful people, chances that you will become successful is high because they will motivate and challenge you to push for success as well.  You really are the company you keep. Start today, keep the right kind of people around you and be friends with those who inspire you to be better. 5.  Good health is an invaluable treasure that most young people often waste before they realize its importance. In our 20s, when we are still very much active and vibrant, we tend to take good health for granted. After all, we think we have the strength to do anything we like, such as go three days without having a proper night rest because we probably had to go clubbing or partying all weekend long, drink and smoke. Yet, we don't pay attention to healthy living habits, like exercising and eating healthy meals. So we don't pay attention to our good health until the situation forces us to do so, such as cancer, stroke, diabetes, bone density and the likes. 6. Saving money now will earn you financial freedom. We all desire to be wealthy, but we can only achieve this by attaining financial freedom. To make this happen, however, you need to learn how to save so that you can invest. When you don't save, you can't invest. And without this, you can't generate more money for yourself. The best way to develop your savings habit is to ensure that a certain percentage of your monthly income goes into different account-tagged savings. You can also set up another account-tagged emergency funds, which should be a sum of six months of your salary. So you don't have to resort to using credit if you lose your job or become seriously ill. 7. Failure is part of life's journey. Shakiru Kan said, Success and failure are both part of life. Both are not permanent. Do you know what? Failure is part of the journey to learn. The key to growing and finding success is learning from those mistakes and failures. So it's okay to fail as long as you're learning and growing, instead of letting failure hold you back. 8. You can't please everyone. Yes, we all want to feel respected and valued. But that shouldn't be done at the expense of our integrity and happiness. Trying to please everyone is a decision that will always leave us feeling this way. Bill Cosby said, I don't know the secret to success, but the secret to failure is trying to please everyone. You can't succeed if you keep seeking validation from people every time. You see, the truth is that it wouldn't make you feel good about yourself to ask people's opinion on every decision you want to make. So, stick to your values and stay true to what you believe. People will respect you for that, rather than trying to please everyone. 9. You won't always get what you want. No matter how carefully you make plans or how hard you work, sometimes things just won't work out the way you want them to, and that's okay. Yes, we always want to stay positive. We have expectations and predetermined vision of what our ideal life should look like, but reality doesn't ever walk on the path of ideality. You might change your mind, your dreams may fill, etc. Don't feel so bad about it. Instead, understand that it's all part of life. Just move on. 10. You have to create an emergency fund. It is expected that you should have gotten an emergency account in your 20s. Still, if you haven't, you should consider getting one. Because an emergency account, as the name sounds, is something that you can fall back on quickly. In the case of an emergency, experts advise keeping at least 3-6 months of expenses in a high-interest savings account. 11. Love is more of a decision than a feeling. Love is beyond the first emotions we feel towards a person. It's a decision we have to make because relationships can be hard work. However, it is up to us to choose how we want to act, think, and speak with our partner. We have to decide to let go of anger, to forgive, respect, and be faithful towards each other. 12. You can't continue enduring bad relationships. Staying in bad relationships for too long can affect you in more ways than you think. For instance, it can ruin your health by causing depression. You see, you need to learn how to love yourself as well as nurture your body. If your relationship isn't exactly going the way you'd like, then you might want to consider stepping out instead of enduring that lousy relationship. 13. Be proactive. One of the best lessons anyone can learn from a young age is how to be proactive about life. You see, the secret to getting ahead is taking the decision when no one else is ready to do so. Brian Rogers Loup said that, Do what to the others wouldn't do. So tomorrow, you can do what others can't. Nothing happens just like that. Every circumstance is a consequence of an action or two. Successful people understand this and become proactive about living. George Bennett Shaw said, The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.


Dear students, now we will see how threading or fold recognition works in the form of a flow chart, but before we do that Let's take an overview of what fold recognition threading was. It's simply involved Passing the sequence that is the amino acid sequence over a structure So this structure is a fold from the fold library such as SCARP and Now if you're passing the sequence onto the fold Then you find that fold which best matches the sequence that you have with you Next is you give it a score using some scoring function, which is typically a z-score function Now let's take a look at the overall flow chart for threading in a step-by-step manner So the inputs and outputs first So the inputs were the folds from fold library such as SCARP, the amino acid sequence, the primary sequence of the protein You want to create the structure for or predict the structure for the scoring function This is input into your threading algorithm and the output is your predicted structure. Okay Now let's start. So you have your amino acid sequence of Proteins of course. So this is the protein whose structure is unknown so structure is Unknown Sequence is known Okay, so next You blast this sequence to obtain homologs. So you have your sequence and And You blast it So this is your target sequence and these are your templates so you compare it by using blast with all of these sequences and You find those sequences which are Nicely matching to your target Next you extract the template structures from the PDB So for example if you had these sequences That matched very nicely and therefore became the templates template sequences So now you have to extract their structures So these sequences may have different structures which you can look at from the PDB So you simply go and find the structure for each one of these sequences in the PDB after this you go to the Fold database such as scop to obtain the folds for each template So let's say if you had this structure for a protein and You obtained its PDB in this step then you go to the scop database and You obtain the various Folds That combine to give you This complete structure so each one of them is a fold and now you can Individually deal with these folds What we will do with these folds is as follows so we compare The predicted structures that is fold with the experimental homologs now if the structure is Functional and plausible both of them then you create a tertiary structure by combining these folds So you can select one fold from one PDB Another fold from some other PDB some other structure some other fold from yet another PDB and combine them to create and predict the structure for the sequence. You're looking for here is the summary of this So these are two very different proteins But the common thing between them is this structure That is given here which contains several folds As shown here and now you're trying to compare your sequence With a specific portion in the fold So by comparing them You can find out which fold best matches which portion of the sequence So therefore your overall structure will be a combination of folds from different structures in the PDB So now to conclude Your secondary structure combinations They come together to create these folds And different folds they come together yet again to create the overall tertiary structure of the protein So in fold recognition or threading your job is simply to find out which fold in a specific protein matches your sequence and by taking these different folds from different protein structures You create a collection of folds and you bring them together to create a tertiary structure for the protein


From the SiliconANGLE Media office in Boston, Massachusetts, it's theCUBE. Now, here's your host, Dave Vellante. Hi everybody, welcome to this special CUBE Insights, powered by ETR, Enterprise Technology Research, our partner who's got this database, this of the spending data. And what we're going to do is a breaking analysis on the analytic database market. We're seeing that cloud and cloud players are disrupting that marketplace. And that marketplace really traditionally has been known as the Enterprise Data Warehouse Market. So Alex, if you wouldn't mind bringing up the first slide, I want to talk about some of the trends in the traditional EDW market. I almost don't like to use that term anymore because it's sort of a pejorative. But let's look at it. It's a very large market. It's about $20 billion today, growing at high single digits, low double digits. It's expected to be in the $30 to $35 billion size by mid-next decade. Now historically, this is dominated by Teradata who started this market really back in the 1980s with the first appliance, the first converged appliance. Oracle with Exadata, IBM, I'll talk about IBM, a little bit, they bought a company called Natesa back in the day.  Microsoft has entered the fray. And so it's been a fairly large market. But I say it's failed to really live up to the promises that we heard about in the late 90s, early parts of the 2000, namely that you were going to be able to get a 360 degree view of your data and you're going to have this flexible, easy access to the data. You know, the reality is data warehouses were really expensive. They were slow. You had to go through a few experts to get data. It took a long time. I tell you, I've done a lot of research in this space. When you talked to the data warehouse practitioners, they would tell you, we always had to chase the chips. Anytime Intel would come out with a new chip, we'd force it in there because we just didn't have the performance to really run the analytics as we needed to. It just took so long. One practitioner described it as a snake swallowing a basketball. So you've got all those data, which is the sort of metaphor for the basketball. Just really practitioners at a hard time standing up infrastructure. And what happened is a spade of new players came into the marketplace, these MPP players, trying to disrupt the market. You had Vertica, who was eventually purchased by HP and then they sold them to Micro Focus. Green Plum was bought by EMC and really, you know, the company is de-emphasized. Green Plum, Netiza, $1.7 billion acquisition by IBM. IBM just this month, month killed the brand. They're kind of, you know, refactoring everything. Pyrexcel was interesting. It was a company based on an open source platform that Amazon, AWS did a one time license with and created Redshift. It actually put a lot of innovation. Redshift is really doing well. We'll show you some data on that. We've also at the time, saw a major shift toward unstructured data and much, much greater emphasis on analytics. It coincided with Hadoop, which also disrupted the market economics. I often joked that the ROI of Hadoop was reduction on investment. And so you saw all these data lakes being built. And of course they turned into data swamps. And yet dozens of companies come into the database space, which used to be rather boring, but Amazon with DynamoDB, SAP with HANA, data stacks, Redis, Mongo, you know, Snowflake is another one that I'm going to talk about in detail today. So you started to see the blurring of lines between relational and non-relational. And what was once thought of is no SQL, became not only SQL, SQL became the killer app for Hadoop. And so at any rate, you saw this new class of data stores emerging. And Snowflake was one of the more interesting and I want to share some of that data with you, some of the spending intentions. So over the last several weeks and months, we've shared spending intentions from ETR, Enterprise Technology Research. They're a company that manages the spending data and has a panel of about 4,500 end users. They go out and do spending intention surveys periodically. So Alex, if you bring up the survey data, I want to show you this. So this is spending intentions and what it shows is that the public cloud vendors in Snowflake who really is a database as a service offering, so cloud like, are really leading the pack here. So this sector that I'm showing is the Enterprise Data Warehouse and I've added in the analytics, business intelligence and big data section. So what this chart shows is the vendor on the left-hand side and then this bar chart has colors. The red is relieving the platform. The gray is our spending will be flat. So this is from the July survey. Expectations for the second half of 2019. So gray is flat. The dark green is increase and the lime green is we are a new customer coming on to the platform. So if you take the greens and subtract out the red, and there's two reds, the dark red is leaving, the lighter red is spending less. So if you subtract the reds from the greens, you get what's called the net score. So the higher the net score, the better. So you can see here the net score of Snowflake is 81%. So the very, very high. You can also see AWS and Microsoft are very high and Google. So the cloud vendors of which I would consider Snowflake, a cloud vendor, I got the cloud model, all kicking butt. Now look at Oracle, look at the incumbents. Oracle, IBM and Teradata. Oracle and IBM are in the single digits for a net score and Teradata is in a negative 10%. So that's obviously not a good sign for those guys. So you're seeing share gains from the cloud company, Snowflake, AWS, Microsoft and Google, at the expense of certainly of Teradata, but likely IBM and Oracle. Oracle is a little different animal. They've got Exadata and they're putting a lot of investments in there. Maybe talk about that a little bit more. Now you see on the right-hand side this black says shared accounts. So the N in this survey, this July survey that ETR did is 1,068. So of 1,068 customers, ETR is asking them, okay, what's your spending going to be on enterprise data warehouse and analytics big data platforms? And you can see the number of accounts out of that 1,068 that are being cited. So Snowflake only had 52 and I'll show you some other data from past surveys. AWS 319, Microsoft the big whale here, a trillion dollar valuation, 851 going down the line. You see Oracle, a very large number in Teradata and IBM pretty large as well. Certainly enough to get statistically valid results. So take away here is Snowflake, very, very strong and the other cloud vendors, the hyperscalers, AWS, Microsoft and Google and their data stores doing very well in the marketplace and challenging the incumbents. Now the next slide that I want to show you is a time series for selected suppliers. I can only show five on this chart. But it's the spending intentions again in that EDW and analytics BI big data segment. And it shows the spending intentions from January 17 survey all the way through July 19. So you can see the periods that ETR takes this, the snapshots and again, the latest July survey is over 1,000 N. The other ones are very, very large too. So you can see here at the very top, Snowflake is that yellow line and they just showed up in the January 19 survey. And so you're seeing now, actually go back one, yeah January 19 survey and then you see them in July. You see the net score, the July net score that I'm showing that 35, that's the number of accounts out of the corpus of data that Snowflake had in the survey back in January. And now it's up to 52. You can see they lead the pack. It just in terms of the spending intentions in terms of mentions, AWS and Microsoft also up there very strong. You see a big gap down to Oracle and Teradata. And I didn't show IBM, I didn't show Google. Google actually would be quite high too just around where Microsoft is. But you can see the pressure that the cloud is placing on the incumbents. So what are the incumbents going to do about it? Well, certainly you're going to see in the case of Oracle spending a lot of money trying to maybe rethink the architecture, refactor the architecture. Oracle Open World's coming up shortly. I'm sure you're going to see a lot of new announcements around Exadata. They're putting a lot of wood behind the Exadata arrow. So we'll keep in touch with that and stay tuned. But you can see again, the big takeaways here is the cloud guys are really disrupting the traditional EDW marketplace. All right, let's talk a little bit about Snowflake.  But what you need to know about Snowflake, so I've put some points here, just some quick points on the slide, Alex, if you want to bring that up. Very fast growing cloud and SaaS based data warehousing player. Growing that couple hundred percent annually, they're annual recurring revenue, very high. These guys are getting ready to do an IPO. I'll talk about that a little bit. They were founded in 2012, and it kind of came out of stealth and hiding in 2014 after bringing Bob Muglia on from Microsoft as the CEO. It was really, the background of these guys is they're three engineers from Oracle who are probably bored out of their mind. And we're like, you know what? We got this great idea. Why should we give it to Oracle? Let's go pop out and start a company. And as such, they started Snowflake. They really are disrupting the incumbents. They've raised over $900 million in venture and they've got almost a $4 billion valuation. Last May, they brought on Frank Slutman. And this is really a pivot point, I think, for the company. And they're getting ready to do an IPO. And so let's talk a little bit about that in a moment. But before we do that, I want to bring up just this really simple picture. Alex, if you bring this slide up, this block diagram. This is like a kindergarten, so that people like, I can even understand it. But basically the innovation around the Snowflake architecture was that they separated their claim is that they separated the storage from the compute. And they've got this other layer called cloud services. So let me talk about that for a minute. Snowflake fundamentally rethought the architecture of the data warehouse to really try to take advantage of the cloud. So traditionally, enterprise data warehouses are static. You've got infrastructure that kind of dictates what you can do with the data warehouse.  And this is what I got, it's static. If your workload grows or some new compliance regulation comes out or some new data set has to be analyzed, well, this is what you got. You got your infrastructure and yeah, you can add to it in chunks of compute and storage together or you can fork lift out and put in new infrastructure or you can chase more chips. As I said, it's that snake swallowing of basketball was not pretty. So very static situation. And you have to over provision whereas the cloud is all about, you know, pay by the drink. And it's about elasticity and non-demand resources. You got cheap storage and cheap compute and you can just pay for it as you use it. So the innovation from Snowflake was to separate the compute from storage so that you could independently scale those and decoupling those in a way that allowed you to sort of tune the knobs. Oh, I need more compute, dial it up. I need more storage, dial it up or dial it down and pay for only what you need. Now, another nuance here is traditionally the computing in data warehousing happens on one cluster. So you got contention for the resources of that cluster. What Snowflake does is you can spin up a warehouse on the fly. You can size it up, you can size it down based on the needs of the workload. So that workload is what dictates the infrastructure. Also, in Snowflake's architecture, you can access the same data from many, many different warehouses. So you got, again, that three layers that I'm showing here, the storage, the compute and the cloud services. So let me go through some examples so you can really better understand this.  And you want to build warehouses based on that data. You might have marketing warehouse, you might have a sales warehouse, you might have a finance warehouse. Maybe there's a supply chain warehouse. So again, by separating the compute from that sort of virtualized compute from the storage layer, you can access any data, leave the data where it is, and I'll talk about this and bring the compute to the data. So that's what, in part, the cloud layer does. They've got security and governance, they've got data warehouse management in that cloud layer and resource optimization. But the key, in my opinion, is this metadata management. I think that's part of Snowflake's secret sauce, is the ability to leave data where it is and have the smarts and the algorithms to really efficiently bring the compute to the data so that you're not moving data around. If you think about how traditional data warehouses work, you put all the data into a central location so you can operate on it. Well, that data movement takes a long, long time. It's very, very complicated. So that's part of the secret sauce, is knowing what data lives where and efficiently bringing that compute to the data, this dramatically improves performance. It's a game changer and it's much, much less expensive. Now, I want to come back to Frank Slutman. This is somebody that I've, is a career that I've followed, I've known, had him on theCUBE a number of times. I first met Frank Slutman when he was at Data Domain. He took that company, took it public, and then sold it. Originally, NetApp made a bid for the company. EMC, Joe Tucci, in a defensive play, said, no, we're not going to let NetApp get it. There was a little auction. He ended up selling the company for, I think, two and a half billion dollars. Slutman came in. He helped clean up the data protection business of EMC and then left, did a stint as a VC and then took over ServiceNow. When Slutman took over ServiceNow, and a lot of people know this, the ServiceNow is the shiny toy on Wall Street today. ServiceNow was a mess when Slutman took it over. It's about a hundred, $120 million company. He and his team took it to 1.2 billion, dramatically increased the valuation. And one of the ways they did that was by thinking about the TAM and expanding that TAM. That's part of a CEO's job, is TAM expansion. Slutman is also a great operational guy and he brought in an amazing team. To do that, I'll talk a little bit about that team. In fact, well, he just brought in Mike Scarpelli, who's the CFO, was the CFO of ServiceNow, brought him in to run finance for Snowflake. So you're seeing that playbook emerge. It'll be interesting. Beth White was the CMO at Data Domain. She was the CMO at ServiceNow, helped take that company. She's an amazing resource. She's kind of in retirement, she's young, but she's kind of in retirement doing some advisory roles. Wonder if Slutman will bring her back. I wonder if Dan McGee, who was ServiceNow's operational guru, wonder if he'll come out of retirement. How about Dave Schneider, who runs the sales team at ServiceNow? Well, he'll be lured over. We'll see. The kinds of things that Slutman looks for, just in my view of observing his playbook over the years. He looks for a great product, he looks for a big market, he looks for disruption, and he looks for off-the-chart ROI so his sales teams can go in and really make a strong business case to disrupt the existing legacy players. So one of the things I said that Slutman looks for is a large market. So let's look at this market. And this is the thing that people missed around ServiceNow, and to credit Pat myself and David Floor in the back. You know, we saw the TAM potential of ServiceNow as to be many, many tens of billions. You know, Gartner, when ServiceNow first came out, said, hey, I helped to ask, it's a small market, a couple billion dollars. We saw the potential to transform not only IT operations but go beyond help, desk, change management, et cetera, IT service management into lines of business. And we wrote a piece on Wikibon back then showing the potential TAM. And we think something similar could happen here. So the market today, let's call it 20 billion, growing to 30 billion, pretty big, first of all, but a lot of players in here. What if, so one of the things that we see, Snowflake potentially being able to do with its architecture and its vision is able to bring enterprise search to the marketplace. 80% of the data that's out there today sits behind firewalls, it's not searchable by Google. What if you could unlock that data and access it and query it anytime, anywhere, put the power in the hands of the line of business users to do that. Maybe think Google search for enterprises but with provenance and security and governance and compliance and the ability to run analytics for a line of business users. Just think of it as citizens data analytics. We think that TAM could be $70 plus billion. So just think about that in terms of how this company, this company, Snowflake, might go to market, by the time they do their IPO could be, they could be three, four, 500 million dollar company. So we'll see, we'll keep an eye on that. Now, because the market's so big, this is not like the ITSM, the market that ServiceNow was going after. They crushed BMC, HP was there but really not paying attention to it. IBM had a product, they had all these products that were old legacy products, they weren't designed for the cloud. And so, you know, ServiceNow was able to really crush that market and caught everybody by surprise and just really blew it out. There's a similar dynamic here in that these guys are disrupting the legacy players with a cloud-like model, but at the same time, so is Amazon with Redshift, so is Microsoft with its analytics platform. You know, Teradata is trying to figure it out. They've got an inertia of a large install base but it's a big on-prem install base. I think they struggle a little bit but their advantage is they've got customers locked in. Oracle with Exadata is very interesting. Oracle has burned the boats and gone to cloud first. And Oracle, mark my words, is re-architecting everything for the cloud. Now you can say, oh, Oracle, they're old school, they're old guard, that's fine. But one of the things about Oracle and Larry Ellison, they spend money on R&D. They're a very, very heavy investor in R&D and I think that, you know, you can see Exadata has actually been a very successful product. They will re-architect Exadata, believe you me, to bring compute to the data. They understand, you can't just move all this, InfiniBand is not going to solve their problem in terms of moving data around their architecture. So, you know, watch Oracle, you've got other competitors like Google who shows up well in the ETR surveys. They've got BigQuery and Bigtable and you've got a lot of other players here. Guys like DataStacks are in there and you've got Amazon with DynamoDB, you've got Couchbase, you've got all kinds of database players that are sort of blurring the lines, as I said, between SQL and NoSQL. But the real takeaway here from the ETR data is you've got Cloud, again, is winning. It's driving the discussion and the spending discussion within IT. Watch this company, Snowflake, they're going to do an IPO, I guarantee it, hopefully we'll see if they'll get in before the market turns down. But we've seen this play by Frank Slutman before on his team and the spending data shows that this company is hot, you see them all over Silicon Valley, you're seeing them show up in the spending data. So, we'll keep an eye on this, it's an exciting market, database market used to be kind of boring, now it's red hot. So there you have it folks, thanks for listening, it's Dave Vellante. Cube Insights, we'll see you next time.


The VIR has developed a comprehensive strategy for naming and preserving vegetatively propagated crops. The strategy involves creating nomenclature standards for each variety, developing a genetic passport for each variety, and using biotechnology to preserve the original material. This strategy has been successfully applied to raspberries and blackcurrants, resulting in the creation of nomenclature standards for 20 raspberry varieties and 5 blackcurrant varieties. Additionally, 13 samples of raspberry varieties and 4 samples of blackcurrant varieties have been preserved in vitro, and 4 varieties have been placed in the VIR cryobank for long-term cryopreservation. This article was authored by T. A. Gavrelenko, S. E. Deneva, O. A. Tikanova, and others.


Let's take one more example in Nicolam method, where we will divide 20,135 by 96. Now the first step again we will have to do is to find out the supplement divisor. But what will be the base in this case because 96 is closer to 100, the supplement divisor will use base as 100 and so 100 minus 96 it will be 4. Now because our base is 100 and the divisor is 2 digit number, we should write our supplement divisor as 0,4 instead of 4. Let's try and solve this problem using Nicolam method. The divisor is 96 and the supplement divisor is 0,4. Note that why we are writing 0,4 this is a very important point here because the way we write the supplement divisor impacts how we get the result and it's important to get the accurate result. Here the base is 100 and so it has 2 zeros so we will place 2 digits from the dividend on the right hand side which is 35 and rest of the digits like this in the central part. Now let's see how we can complete this Nicolam method. Now let's pull this to downwards. Now our supplement divisor adds 2 digits. We can see 2 digits. One is 0 and other is 4. So if you first multiply the 0 with 2 and 4 with 2 later. So 0 times 2 gives us 0 and then 4 times 2 gives us 8. The result is basically 0,8. We start writing this result from the second digit of the dividend. So we write 0 and 8. Then we have 0 again here and with this newly formed result, we again have to multiply with the supplement divisor. So we again make 0 times 0 which is 0 and 0 times 4 which is 0 again. We write the new result 0,0 from the third digit of the dividend and then we complete the sum in the third digit column and that gives us 9 and now we multiply 9 with 0 and 9 with 4. So we have 9 times 0 is 0, 9 times 4 is 36. So we start writing the result from the fourth digit now. So this is 0 and then we write 36 here. Let's sum 36 and 5 which gives us 41 and this is 3. This 4 flows as a carry towards 3 and this basically becomes 7 and we have 1 at the units place. So we can basically write this as 71. And now our result in the remainder column is a 2 digit number and we can clearly see 71 is less than 96 which is a divisor. This is our correct remainder and this is going to be our quotient. So we saw how we have to write the supplement divisor as a 2 digit number when we are dealing with a 2 digit divisor and how we can write the multiplication results starting from the second digit of the dividend. And so this is how we have completed the Nicolam method where we are using the base greater than 10.


Hello everyone, my name is Roy Steiner and I'm Sarah Farley. We're from the food team of the Rockefeller Foundation here to talk about the future of food You know when we started thinking about the future and future visions We took a look at what movies and books are out there that describe the future and There's hundreds of them and when you do look at that the unfortunate thing is 98% of them are dystopian They're really dark. They're Mad Max, Hunger Games, Black Mirror The list just keeps going on. You actually have to really search to find a book or a movie that describes a world You would actually want to live in. So we spend hundreds of millions of dollars Describing worlds we don't want and almost nothing describing really the division of future we actually want and when you look at the look at the food system you actually Can fall into that pattern as well. We all know the challenges of poor diets and we all know the the impact of The agricultural system on on climate change, etc. And and the list goes on The challenge of course, you know dystopia has actually a role it creates energy Some fear and by the way, they actually make pretty good stories But if you only have dystopia you actually can't create the world you actually want Because it doesn't unleash, you know There's always two creations first in your mind and then in reality and you don't unleash the creativity and the innovation You need if you can't imagine it and you know, there's a parable that says where there is no vision the people perish And I think we're you know, that's a 2000 year old wisdom and I think we're in a culture That's at risk of perishing because we actually can't envision the world that could be if we make the right decisions So in light of that in order to address that and unleash some positive forces into the world the Rockefeller Foundation is announcing today The creation of the food system vision prize, which will be a two million dollar prize That will be go around the world up to ten winners But it's not the cash that's going to be the most amazing thing is we're going to really work with these visionaries to give them visual artists and data scientists and Science fiction writers to really bring their visions to light Because we just found out last month the secretary general of the United Nations has announced that in 2021 there's going to be the first ever food system summit and We're hoped that these visions will be visions that really represent the really the incredible diversity of food systems in the world and And the voices of the people that need to be heard will be heard at the global level so I'm you know, we want to move from the dystopian the the surviving the incremental solutions to really things that are optimistic that are thriving that are really transformative and In order to do that. We're asking groups companies NGOs Universities governments anybody who wants to think about the future to describe the food system of 2050 in their local regional area Not for the entire globe. That's too abstract but in your your town your village your food system your your food shed and We think by doing that you're gonna get a lot more connected. It's going to require a lot more conversations and And really create dialogue and if we do that, right? We think this will really inspire people in a way that is needed because they can now see it will Discover the knowledge that's both needed the research priorities we need to go in that direction But also uncovered knowledge. It's already there. You know some there's incredible wisdom from Indigenous peoples and philosophies and and groups out there and then secondly a thirdly We want to connect people together because sharing of ideas creates incredible Movements and then finally, I think we're going to unleash a set of innovations that are going to be needed To create the food system that we want So what is this promise of a vision? I think I Have to admit that at times I can get pessimistic. I think we all can at times But I'm only a short-term pessimist. I'm a long-term optimist to get through the darkness that can potentially happen I think we need lights of a vision to help guide us We need north stars and and that's what this vision process. We hope will will unleash and in order to describe that in a little bit more Detail, I'm gonna hand it over to Sarah. Thanks Roy So you might be wondering how could you possibly take hundreds maybe thousands of potential food systems visions and Compare them to select winners to give them a large prize We thought a lot about that So I want to share with you a little bit about what we're thinking in terms of evaluation criteria One we're thinking about Systems truly a systems focused approach, you know So often in food as in water other sectors We look at very Isolated parts of the challenge and the solution set and we we miss the mess the interconnections between technology Policy culture environment, so we really want to embrace this systems approach Second we're looking for visions that are really truly Transformational these are audacious shifts from where we are to where we need to be Third we're not looking for anyone to put themselves forward as a visionary that sort of imposes their thoughts of what a community should do We want these to be inclusive led by Communities and engaging communities Fourth we want to ask all of the visionaries to explain in some way what they're assuming about the evolution of science and technology From today to 2050 that would make their idea of the future Plausible and finally we want these to be inspirational Roy talked about hope We need the hope and what we want is for these visions to inspire a movement So another way to get at this this idea of what a vision is and how we articulate it is to put forward tough Questions that we'll be asking all of you who we hope will apply for this prize and everyone around the world So if we think about the environmental shifts and climate change to take one phenomenon Even if we curb greenhouse gas emissions We know by the year 2050 the crops that grow in the particular Agroecological zones in which they grow today Likely may not be able to do so in 2050 So the question we'll ask each of you to answer is how will your food system adapt to a changing climate to ensure resilience? Second today the number one killer globally is diet related disease more than any other cause Which means our diets have to shift if we're to curb this tsunami of diet related disease That is crushing United States and headed for the developing world So what is a healthy diet a nutritious diet going to look like in 2050? What do you hope it looks like? Third whether we're looking at the performance of farms or the price paid for farm inputs and outputs This all has consequence for consumers policymakers farmers and other value chain actors So how do we want profit to be shared in our food systems of 2050? some projections suggest that between 50 and 80 percent of food and agricultural jobs will be replaced or Stopmoded by the year 2050 because of automation and artificial intelligence So our question to visionaries is what do you hope from these two particular technologies? Automation and AI in terms of the future of the workforce how work is done in food and agriculture And last I think for so many of us food is a source of community It's a source of connection. It has this power to ignite creativity and spark joy So how will we ensure that communities thrive in our future food systems? So imagine those and many other questions being offered up to Anyone applying for the prize in the form of a toolkit our partners in design second muse and open IDO Have been working with us to build this journey really that begins October 29th with the opening of the submission process And this is really a set of tools systems thinking futures and others to really help Contenders applicants try to think in really bold and new ways So I want to go back to one of those movies where I talked about the dystopian phenomenon in so many pop culture Movies television shows and one of them minority report some folks might have seen it Paints a picture of a particular world infused with certain kinds of technology and that world for those of you who've seen it Might have seemed a little far-fetched Actually after the issuance of that film more than 20 patents were filed for technologies featured in the movie minority report so even these seemingly far-fetched ideas that come about as a function of Radiating what our future could be like have application in the real world So for us with this vision prize We really think this is the start of something very big and for you the investors Entrepreneurs assembled here a soak up. This is a chance to Imagine and put forward ideas for what the investable innovations and social enterprises will be for the next century And we think this is phenomenally important because we must first envision things to believe in them And only once we believe it can we build it? So we look forward to all of you joining us in this endeavor. We launch October 29th
