We're back, we're live at two o'clock, we have Larry Grim, G-R-I-M-M, and he's going to be a host of a show, and we're sort of initiating that show today, it's called Elderhood, okay, and he's a chaplain at the Bristol Hospice, so he has learned a lot about aging and dying for that matter, from his work. So we're calling this show, Does Life Begin at Elderhood, and the tagline is aging one day at a time, the whole thing is about aging, and aging in grace, so I call this a takeaway as aging is an art form, and aging in grace is the best way to go. Larry, do you agree with that? I totally agree with that. Excellent, Jay. Thank you so much, first of all, for having me on the show today, and for giving me this opportunity to engage people in their own life decisions. And to help coach a little bit what it's like to go through Elderhood, and each person is different.  I know those things are not necessarily consistent with religion. Over the many years of my service, I've been in the Presbyterian Church as minister in various congregations. Presbyterians, yeah. And I've enjoyed all the congregations, and they all have had elder people in them, of course, and more so now, because there are fewer and fewer young people that are entering into churches, and I'm going to join the church kind of fashion. So, I've been accustomed to elders, and now I am one. You're not only speaking for yourself, you know. That's right. So, for me, my faith tradition and my faith experience sensitizes me to other people. And as a professionally trained chaplain, I'm particularly interested and trained to listen to people where they're at, whatever their tradition is. Everyone lives in their own tradition and mythology, and whatever that mythology is for them, it helps them make sense of life, helps them to get in touch with that reality beyond this reality.   You can be on what your parents taught you and what your friends and teachers taught you, and you never really have to do anything introspective.   As you said, you have to make sense of it for yourself.  And that requires more than the average for today, period. I agree, Jay, and so often, and I can speak as a professional church person, too. So often church people think, I mean, the professional church person will say, here, I have the answers for you. But that doesn't enable the person to struggle on their own and to find out what is, what do I claim myself? That works for me in terms of belief systems, in terms of making meaning of my life in my context. So for me, that's the big thing, enabling people to make meaning in their own context of their life. What I get out of that is so interesting is you speak about you helping them understand themselves, but in so doing, you also are helping us understand you, or helping yourself understand you. Because this is your chosen application. This is your chosen way to spend your time on the planet, no? Exactly. I get so much more. I get more than they do in some way. We can always say the teacher learns more. Yeah, it's a very rewarding experience, very rewarding. And working as a hospice chaplain, one of the things I've learned to do, or hope I am learning to do, is to walk in the room and say, with the attitude, you're teaching me what it's like to be you in this situation. Dying. In this bed. Dying. In this moment of dying. In this moment of letting go of this life or something else, whatever it may be. So I'm really wanting to go in, Jay, and I appreciate you picking that up. Open to what people can teach me. And how you spend your time. Yeah. I mean, it's one thing, maybe you suggest you can disagree. It's one thing to be a minister and a chaplain for that matter. It's another thing to be a chaplain in a hospice. Because you have to face this and you have to help other people face it. In so doing, you begin to understand the common threads about how people react at this point in life. Good point. And one of the things that I've heard said is that when the doctor says, we can do nothing else. That's where we come in. The hospice begins. The hospice begins by saying, we're here to help you die in a peaceful and comfortable manner. Help the family move through that as well. Alan Watts back in the 1990s said, philosopher said, we need more people that will help us die splendidly. Yeah. Well, you know, and the alternative is bleak. But before we get to the alternatives of dying splendidly, can we talk about the bell curve in Hawaii? Can we talk about the stats here? Okay. What do we have in terms of an aging population? You mentioned before the show that, you know, as a part of the pie, so to speak, of stats, we have more people in the aging process here than anywhere in the country. How does that work? That's what I've read. I don't have the stat in mind right now, exactly. But I've read that we here in Hawaii have the highest number of aging. And I'm going to assume that's over 55. Highest number of aging population in the United States. So it means that people are growing up here, dying here or moving here to die. But I will tell you, I'm amazed at the number of patients that we have in Bristol who have been born on the island and they're dying on the island. I mean, I've had people, I asked a patient the other day, when did you come to the island? And she said, I'm born here in her 90 degree. I mean, 90 year old, very sophisticated manner, very elegant manner. You know, very proud of it. So here are people who have, many people who have just made their place here years ago or were born here and they're dying here now as well. Some few, and I know one, have never left Oahu in their life. I'm serious about that. This is their home, they don't need to go anywhere else. But you know, one of the things that happens now in our changing times is it's harder to, you know, develop a retirement where you can feel comfortable. Because rents go up, you may not own any property. You know, there are more issues and there will be in the future more issues about health insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, all that. Social security, who knows where it's going to go.  The older they get, the more in trouble they get. And, you know, it's tragic, especially in Hawaii, that the old days in which they lived, you know, in Ohana housing and their families were around take care of them. In the nuclear Hawaii, everybody goes to the mainland, and maybe the kids aren't here anymore. And they got a problem in finding a soft place, the older people. They can go to the mainland and join their kids, but sometimes their friends are here. They don't want to leave. Absolutely. So what you have is some elderly people who are living longer because of modern medicine and because of many factors. But who are not living as well as they might have expected to live. And so they're unhappy. And that's got to be a big problem in Hawaii. I'm sure you've seen that. Absolutely is. We spend most of our medical money over the age of 65. So if you're over the age of 65, you need about $8,000 a year looking at that as medical costs. In a senior facility or just medical? Just medical costs in general, but the majority of those expenses are the facility. Facilities cost more for the 65 and older than anything else. We're talking about medical care and medicines and such, but it's the facilities that are so demanding. So I've seen, I know of three approaches, Jay, or three facility approaches. There's of course a dedicated facility that is dedicated to long-term care and licensed for long-term care. And then there's a facility called a care home, which is a smaller home that can take five to ten, perhaps five patients. And they're licensed by the state. And then there are foster care homes that are about three patients permitted and they do not need a license. So in that, you've got a whole range of quality of care that is represented. Now, of course, we as Bristol Hospice and along with the facilities and the care homes are all under the agency that does review and supervises and checks annually on our licenseeings. And so there's a good control factor there. And they really do a good job. They go into a facility and they'll make sure everything's in order. They look at the process of charting. They look at how people, medicines are taken care of, how they're distributed, how they're disposed of. You know, some of these things that are back office for facilities that we don't even know go on. But so those good control pieces in place and the care homes are subject to the same thing. One of the problems that I've seen this in friends of mine and friends of my wife and me is that they're not only expensive relative to what a middle class retirement will yield, but there aren't enough of them. And there aren't enough quality ones at a reasonable price so that a lot of people, you know, would be best advised to go to the mainland already. There's no point in staying around here banging your head on a wall looking and looking and looking and never finding. It strikes me that we have missed the boat on becoming a retirement community. You can say we have a lot of retired people here, as you said, you know, a good part of our population is retired. But the truth is, we could be a retirement major retirement industry, given our weather and our aloha and all that. True. True. But I don't understand is why developers cannot make a buck and do not therefore build senior homes. We don't have enough senior homes in Hawai'i next. Good point. There are a lot of folks who do stay at home and one thing that we do in terms of when you get to the hospice point is the hospice care goes into the home. So we do a lot of home care enabling families to take care of their beloved ones as they go through this end of life process. And Medicare funds that. Medicare funds hospice care, whether it's in a facility or in the home. Medicare does not fund the facility. That's Medicaid. Okay. That does enough. That's not enough to actually pay for it. Not all of them known by any means. But I think you've hit on a really good point and that is how do we shift, make a cultural shift that says we are devoted to a good retirement culture where people are, we recognize that people come here to live out the last years of their life. They're committed to it in a healthy way. And that's where I want to come in due as being supportive of people who want to really make this a glorious time of their life. And I have two ways of looking at this, Jay. One way I was on the east coast for a while and flying over the Appalachian Mountains. And at one point I flew to Asheville, North Carolina. What's a beautiful city? It's really pretty. And the mountains there are gorgeous, of course. And there's a lot of rain and we came in over a cloud cover and storm cover. And the pilot came on and said, folks, we got storms beneath us. We can't go in yet. I'm looking for an opening and then we'll go in for landing. So we we cruised around at the above this above the storm line, the storm area. And finally he came on and said, I see an opening. Let's go. And we went, wow, just went right through that cloud cover and onto the tarmac available. And it was just a vast and furious descent. Some people live their elderhood lives like that. I'm going to wait until the crisis comes. I'm going to lay around and cruise up here like I don't have any problems and just take it when it comes. I'll cross that bridge when I get there and then they get that disease or they get that crisis that you mentioned. And they know they've got to go zoom right down into the end of the last, sometimes the very last days of their life. But I don't mean to put it scary because it can be dealt with. And we do deal with people that way in hospice care. But I also see you can come into Honolulu. You can start out way out here on your approach, the approach to elderhood and way out over the ocean and get things planned. Look at things that are important in preparation and glide right in onto the onto the tarmac. Glide right down, you know, a careful landing. Yeah. And that actually reminds me of taking a break. We're going to glide into a very good little break here and we'll be right back in one minute. You'll see. Excellent. All right. Hello, everybody. My name is Walter Kauai. I'm your host for a monthly live streaming video entitled ukulele songs of Hawaii where I bring on guests. We enjoy talking story about the music industry here in Hawaii. Sometimes going back 50 decades if possible and always having some good fun talking with entertainers. We're here located at Think Tech Hawaii downtown Honolulu at the Pioneer Plaza building and in their studios. And so join me next month for ukulele songs of Hawaii. Hi, I'm Rusty Komori, host of Beyond the Lines. I was the head coach for the Punahou Boys varsity tennis team for 22 years and we're fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championship. This show is based on my book, which is also titled Beyond the Lines. And it's about leadership, creating a superior culture of excellence, achieving and sustaining success and finding greatness. If you're a student, parent, sports or business person and want to improve your life and the lives of people around you, tune in and join me on Mondays at 11 a.m. as we go Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii. Aloha. Back with Larry Grimm. He's the chaplain at Bristol Hospice. We're talking about aging, aging and grace. Does life begin at elderhood and how to age one day at a time? You mentioned before we took the break, Larry, that the idea was to have a graceful and good experience in your aging process. And sometimes your aging process is a degenerative process. You know, you don't get younger. Sorry to say. I wish there was a solution on that. Modern medicine may change that.  Pingo, you're dead. That was the deacons. It was a poem in the 19th century. I missed it. But anyway, so what is aging and grace? Let's find different scenarios. That's great. When grace in a senior facility, what do you see as the ideal arrangement? Well, we talk, the implication is that we can get everything external is going to do everything we need to have done. And we really do pour a lot of good attention and resources as a society into doing what we can to provide an environment for elders. Some of them prefer to stay at home and die at home, and we'll get to that later.  What goes on internally, and what can we do internally to help make this a glide path, start out here rather than start right at the crisis of moving into some other facility? So they're prepared. They know what's going to happen. Exactly. And things will not, you know, be as much of a cold shock as they might be. That's exactly what I'm thinking, Jay, and that's exactly what I mean. And I see that there are five basic tasks. You know, Eric Erickson, look out, did a lot of work with psychosocial development, and he identified tasks that were imperative to be done at different stages of life, eight stages. He got to elderhood too, and I think he was not there yet. He didn't really understand it thoroughly. But I take that stage approach, and I'm working with the stage of elderhood. We have childhood, we have adolescence, we have adulthood. I want us to have a wonderful elderhood, and it's a concept that's being launched on to since the 90s, the past couple of decades. So in elderhood, what I've observed is that the kinds of things that demand our attention internally in elderhood are five. The second one is grieving. Grieving, I'll come back to him. The second one is sorting out. Sorting out. Third one is forgiving. The fourth one is preparing, and the fifth one is letting go. Can I give you a description of each of those? Sure, but I'll tell you the truth. They all sound self-explanatory to me, but go ahead. Well, I'm happy to do that. Yeah, I think that well shows it. Grieving, of course, we get to this stage of life, and especially we baby boomers. I mean, we've been accustomed to having everything we wanted. We're not accustomed to having to give up things. And so grieving becomes suddenly a thing that we're involved with far more than we ever anticipated. And I think that grieving takes immunity. Somebody can help each of us and help us to move through this to get over the pain of loss. And some losses that are so great, and you've mentioned some of those already, but some losses that are so great that we think there's no way we can ever recover from those. We'll talk about that. Second thing is sorting out. I hear people sorting out their stuff. People have a lot of stuff.  There's a story there. And you're sorting out stuff according to the story it represents. And so sorting out, I focus on what people's stories are. Who am I? How have I become the person that I am now?  And the story is different contexts, different tasks. But when you tell that story, your face brightens up, your body shape changes, you feel it right now. And we sort out those stories. What are the stories I want to keep and keep telling people about my life? Because every time I tell it, I experience it afresh. They find your life and they belong to you. They're special for you. They're your personal story. Beautiful. They belong to you. That's all right. That's right. So they're sorting out. So the third thing is forgiving. There seems to be, my mother called me one Sunday night. She was not healthy and I knew that. She was living in California. I was in Denver. Hi, Mom. Larry, she says, I'm so sorry when I get on the phone to get you on the phone. And I don't really see how you're doing it. Please, I just feel so bad about that. Mom, what are you talking about? She said, well, I just wanted to do forgiveness for that. And so I forgave her and hung up. She died Thursday. She had some desire to have that forgiveness. It meant nothing to me.  I'm sure it meant something to you. I mean, the fact that she started talking when she came online. So it was just something had to be cleared for her. I have another story about forgiveness that's really dramatic. So the fourth thing is preparing. And this is where I think getting a knowledge base about the externals is very important. We have a social worker at hospice. We have a liaison. We have a care, an RN care person who manages care. We have chaplains. I'm one of six chaplains there. We have nurses' aides. If you know what's available in a certain care system, then you can choose that and prepare to talk to yourself about getting into it eventually. What's it going to be like? So preparation is important. Legal matters, making sure everything externally is prepared. There's an internal preparation. And I think that is what is your belief about that life beyond life? There are four basic stories. No easy answer on that one. Well, there are four basic stories in human history. One is the lights go out, you turn out, you leave the building and that's it. The second one is you join your ancestors and you enter into wherever they are with them and you're reunited with ancestors. The third is that you live on in the legacy of people who remember you on earth. In Kenya there was a village that said, as long as somebody in our village remembers you, you're still alive. The fourthly is to join with the eternal or with the creator God and to live in harmony and oneness with that God. So those are the four basic stories. There's another story. The rainbow bridge. You know my meaning. Rejoined with your most precious beloved pet. Exactly. Exactly. More than ancestors. They were always nice to you. Absolutely. So I hope you unpack all these stories. And then the fifth thing is letting go. And the fifth thing is letting go because so often I've heard someone be outside in the hallway and the daughter comes out and says, you know, Mom just is not doing well.  She just won't let go. Now you've thought. Just won't let go. Of course she won't let go. It's not easy to let go. Elizabeth Kubler Ross said, you know, when somebody dies that is our beloved, we're losing that person. The person who's dying is losing everything. Everything that ever means. To survive. It's primary will. Exactly. You have to give that up. Exactly. So those are the five elements. And I want to structure my program, the show here around those five elements.  And we'll be referring to those. And have visitors, people, guests that come on and share within the five elements something of their insights and knowledge. Yeah, I'd like to see you do that. I'd like to see you unpack each one of those things and connect them because none of them are in a silo. That's a good point. Yeah, that's a good point. So I mean, but some people are, you know, they're out of it. And it's very hard to have these conversations. And it's very, you know, even to the point of letting go, they have no idea where they are. They're out and beyond that. So what do you do as a hospice staffer? That's probably the most difficult piece for me. When we receive particularly Alzheimer's patients to for whom their brain is shutting the body down, gradually. They don't have any interaction at this point. They're not engaging. So I can't talk about meaning with them. But what I do is two things. One is presence. Just be a loving presence as best I can. And then the other thing that I do is sing. I'll sing for them. I'll sing songs from their past. I'll sing songs that I imagine they might enjoy. And we've learned that the part of the brain that is responsible for music and poetry remains unaffected by Alzheimer's. We also have particularly at our hospice a brighter moments program and we bring in an MP3 player that has earphones and we can load that with songs that the family, mom and dad used to love these songs. And then they put on the earphones. And also touching, I expect touching, the warmth of another human being. Exactly. We're out of time, actually, Larry. I'm sorry to say. There's so much more. And I hope that next time you also or in the times to come, you also discuss the problem of suicides, joint suicides, joint people couples, for example who can't live without each other or who have no money left and cannot envision the survivor surviving. And also I'd like you to cover if you don't mind at some point in the show the whole thing about the death with dignity and medical aid and dying. Where that fits? Yeah, where that fits. Because that's the law now. We haven't had a lot of examples of people actually doing that in the state. Where does it fit in your analysis and the needs people have at this point in their lives? I come at this, Jay, as a chaplain, hospice chaplain professionally trained. I also come to it as a coach, a life coach in elderhood. And so I have opportunity and ability to meet with people one-on-one either face-to-face or online and do some coaching in their particulars. It's great, sure. It's not just at the end of life. It's anybody who is thinking about that long glide in. Thank you very much, Larry. You're welcome, Jay. I feel younger. You look younger!


Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It is Monday in FIFA Ultimate Team. You know what that means here on the channel? It's market outlook time. Team of the group stage happening this week. Champions League games happening this week as well. There's a lot of stuff to go through this week, but the games also feeling like it's kind of dead. So we'll talk about that for a minute. We'll talk about the state of the market, what has happened tonight with squad battle rewards and just the pre-order packs. A lot of the actual cards are in packs right now. Team of the group stage cards are dropping. We have a lot of supply coming in from rewards. Again, this pack weight is very, very high. I was not really somebody who wanted to invest in these tonight in my opinion. I just don't like where the market is as a whole. Instead, I chose to go some of the route of these cards that are gonna be talked about a lot this week and we're gonna be watching a lot of and that is Road to the Finals. I'm gonna talk a lot about Road to the Finals today and this week in total, we're gonna talk a lot about Road to the Finals. Now, I bought myself an Eden Hazard tonight to try out for Weekend League and to also see as an investment because Real Madrid are playing on Wednesday. I think a lot of these cards, they've already started to rise from where they kind of, you know when the market crashed this weekend on Saturday and a little bit into Sunday, a lot of these cards went back down as well. A lot of people bought back in and it's kind of pushing these cards up because we are heading into the first ever upgrade for some of these Road to the Final cards. So we're gonna talk a lot about that again in this video too, is RTTF upgrades, what does it mean, when you should be selling these cards if you have them invested and what other things we could happen to see related to Champions League this week. Because this week it's all about Champions League, right? Team of the Group Stage, Champions League, Europa League-related promo, the Road to the Final items, SBCs it will be coming out as well. The Alexander, or not Alexander, I keep mixing up Alexander Arnold and Oxlade Chamberlain. It's the hyphenated last names, man, it's what it is. But we have the Oxlade Chamberlain SBC, which was a moments card for his goal versus Gank in the UCL 2019-2020 season. So I would not be surprised if we had another, you know, Europa League or Champions League-related SBC for a player at some point this week. Now we already had another Road to the Final Herrera and this was something they did during the, I think they did it during the groups or during the knockout stages in the spring last year in FIFA 20, was they released more Road to the Final players later on during the knockout stage period. I think they did do that. I would not be surprised if we had another Road to the Final player come out this week. Of course, right now, Athletic and Madrid links are very valuable because of this man right here at Joel Felix and we'll talk about this SBC today as well. But first things first, where is this market right now? As we head out of the Weekend League, stuff is very low still. Neymar 800K, Veran 218. Golds have absolutely died this weekend and it's brought a lot of the market with it. A lot of icons got destroyed today. We're talking about player the month possibly coming this week as well. But first, I wanna look at the index icon. 91.6 points dropping off from 95 on Saturday down to the 90 range. A lot of these cards have just absolutely got obliterated in price. Middle Root Hole, it is 6.4 million coins. I'm pretty sure he was selling, yeah, 7.2. Somebody bought Middle Hole, I think I saw a screenshot on Twitter last week for 7.5, 7.4 million coins and like a promo Friday or something. The guy is down to 6.4 million. Now we have qualifiers that are coming up in the future. So there will be cards like this that will have some sort of a rebound. But for the market as a whole, I really just kind of feel like we've seen a small bit and I'll preface this. We've seen a small bit of people investing since Squad Battle Rewards. Joe Gomez was 49K, 50K, he's up to 53. Sun is up at one to two K. Marshall is up one to two K. So some people have tried to invest in some of this stuff. Mendy is 79, he was 75. But I really feel like there's just a really big feeling of people on this game right now in FIFA that are just not happy with the game. Whether it's the gameplay, the next gen stuff has honestly flopped big time with no player faces on the new Beckham cards in game, with the issues people were having with gameplay, with finding matches, the connectivity issues with the PS5 and next gen gameplay and Xbox Series X. So I feel like it's really, right now in FIFA is just kind of like a time where a lot of people are not happy. And part of that also stems around the new cards that are in packs, right? We talked about the high pack weight for these team of the group stage items. And whenever this happens, right? Whenever we have a huge market crash, you see a lot of things talked about on Twitter, right? 50K packs, 3.6% from 125K packs, 10% chance of packing a Europa League or Champions League team of the tournament, team of the group stage card. But what happens is so many people lost coins this weekend, that just makes people not wanna play FIFA.  On the PlayStation, you finish your games on Sunday evening and Neymar is down 170K. You're not gonna be too happy about it. You're gonna be like, yo, if I'm really getting on and losing coins every single week in this game, this game isn't very fun for me, is it really, really worth it? I think a lot of people right now are just not feeling very hyped and very happy about being on FIFA and that just drives people away from FIFA is what it does. And I think that has also contributed to the stuff that is happening on the market right now as well. But that's just kind of why I feel like I'm not really interested in these gold cards right now as investments. Do I think they could rebound a bit? Yes, but I just wanna wait and see what comes out for the rest of the week this week. There's just so many unknowns still. And in all honesty, if we look at the bigger picture, a lot of these gold cards are probably still gonna drop off in the next two to three weeks with team of the year on the horizon, more coin sink, foot mist, SBCs, possibly team of the year nominees coming out. So yes, these guys are low, they've dropped off a lot. Maybe this weekend or on Thursday after awards. And throughout the week this week, if we don't get content, they bounce back a little. But overall, in the big scheme of things, these guys are probably gonna continue to trickle down a price as we head throughout the year in FIFA. That's just how golds work because people move on from gold Neymar to get some sort of informed player or they go do an SBC and that replaces Neymar or whatever. So I think you're seeing more and more of that stuff coming out in the game as well. And especially with one SBC that is out right now in FIFA Ultimate Team and that is Jawao Elix, player of the month. This card right here is coming in on foot bin at 380K. After squad battle rewards tonight, we have seen some of the SBC fodder. It's not low, right? I would not describe SBC fodder and cheap SBC players right now as low, but they are down, right? If you take a look at some of these graphs, I looked at Keelini tonight on stream, wherever he went, I don't know where he went, but let's look at Hummels, right? This is a perfect example of an SBC fodder player. 18.5K on the PlayStation, 20K on the Xbox. He went to 28K on the Xbox over the weekend when Felix came out. We had a couple base icons out, Lucas Mora, right? And now he was 22K on the PlayStation as well. And now these guys are back down a decent amount, right? These guys are back down a decent amount in the past couple of days. That is making some of these SBCs like Felix look a bit cheaper and more and more people are gonna be interested in doing this. This Felix card for 380K is a crazy, crazy value card. I'll say it, it really is very, very, very crazy. And I think a lot of people are gonna end up doing this this week. If you wanna do Felix, I know it's out for 30 days. I know this SBC is out for 26 more days from now. Do it ASAP because with all the stuff that is coming up, more player of the month, possibly player of the month Bruno coming on Friday and Footmist on the horizon as well, that's gonna bring a lot more hype to SBC fodder. So I think you wanna get this Bruno done ASAP Rocky if you can, and if you do wanna do Oxley Chamberlain, I would do that pretty quick too. The only thing that would be nice to have is if there was some sort of repeatable upgrade pack that was good value. These rare player picks are pretty good value but they don't give you a guaranteed rating, right? 81 plus UCL upgrades. This was an interesting one today. I saw some people talking about this 81 plus UCL upgrade as possibly a way for EA to give us, like they're sending us some messages like, hey, do a few of these, get some 81 plus UCLs in your club because later this week we might release a, or this is the way some people were thinking, a guaranteed team of the group stage, Europa League or Champions League player SBC. So a guaranteed team of the group stage player SBC requiring a certain amount of UCLs and a rating in that squad. So I think that's why people were just sending my ideas, right? Obviously we'll know what that SBC gets added into the code because we'll have the code tweeted out. There'll probably be some panic and people buying SBC fodder because of it. So that'll be something to watch out for as well. And also this base icon pack is expiring today at 6 p.m. UKM Monday. This has also got people talking about, today on Monday some people think icon swaps might start today. I don't know how much I agree with that or how much I vibe with that but I guess it's possible that they could just randomly start up icon swaps on a Monday and that would be, that'd be big news for the market as well because a lot of people are waiting for those icon swaps in FIFA because that is like a big grind for a lot of people and that motivates people to play the game because especially this year people, I don't know how it is for you guys but I've played a lot more objectives and friendly game modes doing the objectives, right? Doing some of these cards for objectives like I did Mukielle, I did the Correa objective. I was working on, I'm working on Bellarin at the moment technically like I've got Bellarin decent amount done kind of slowly working on him. I don't know where that card is. Yeah, Premier League player I've got, I gotta get what is that, eight more wins and two more goals. So I'm on my way to getting this Bellarin card because he fits my team pretty nicely. Of course, like guys like Molle, guys have done De La Feu, right? You do the Silver Stars almost every week. Koman is a great value objective that is out right now. This week as well, the Van Bergen and the Gravenberch and the Bumgardle. These two guys is specifically Gravenberch and Van Bergen. So many people are going after these this week. You got Dumfries, rule breaker card and Informer both almost extinct. Trying to, you put together a team to link these guys too and just to just do the objective as well. So there's just such a huge, huge, objectives are huge in this game and I think that pulls people away from the weekend league a little bit. Just kind of to add that to my point. But again, the state of the game is kind of sus but I feel like I've talked a lot about that already. Let's go on to good old UCL, right? Champions League is this week. Now we've got a lot of games that are coming, right? And a lot of you guys have said, yo, do I sell my cards? Do I hold onto them? What's the deal with these cards, right? Think about what has happened with the market already, right? Think about what has happened. We have these matches that are coming up on Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday for Europa League. This is gonna decide which players get upgraded. This is the most fun week in my opinion for road to the final players, road to the final upgrades and stuff that's gonna happen to RTTF because a lot of these cards are gonna stay very high, right? Look at how inflated they are right now, right? Bebu 130, Draxler 70,000 coins. Cooler Bali 431, Promise 278. So soco is over a mil. If we go look at team one for road to the finals. I was looking at Griezmann tonight, 550, I think it's still a buy for him. Now, you know, Salahs 15, Muriels 87. There's gonna be a lot of market movements and a lot of hype around these players this week in FIFA. Even like when the games are live and running, right? Let's think about a team that's very close to getting in or not, right? I think Manu and the Manu, PSG and Lifesig Group, which is why, is that Group H? Yeah, Group H. Group B is also very close, but Group H is the one that there's a lot of people, a lot of people's eyes are on Group H this week. I think Group B is the other one. Oh no, Group C with, oh no, it is Group D with Atalanta, Liverpool and Ajax, with Ajax and Atalanta playing this week. A lot of eyes on Promise. And then of course, Real Madrid, right? Real Madrid this week. Playing against Mohsen Gladbach, they need to win basically to get in, it seems. I think they do, at least. But look through all the scenarios for these games this week. And that's also why I bought Hazard, right? Because all it takes, you remember where Hazard's card was earlier this year before Real Madrid lost, like in Shakhtar last week. Look how high this guy was, man. He was over 800k, it says 798. He was like 820, 830 that morning and he's down basically 100,000 coins. So I got one tonight at 720. If Real Madrid are lucky enough to score the first goal, I'm probably gonna be selling this Hazard card closer above 800,000 coins and there's gonna be a lot of hype for this stuff this week. Now if you've mass invested in these cards, the safest thing to do is to sell them in the hype before the game or right at the start of the game because what is gonna happen is, after the game, even for the teams, that their cards are going to get upgraded, right? Like let's say we have Road to the final, let's say Hazard, right? Let's use our Hazard example. He is kind of lower right now because of Real Madrid and the position that they're in. Let's say Real Madrid are looking like they're gonna win this game. This card is gonna start flying up in price during that game. He's gonna start going up, up, up and once he reaches a high point, people are gonna start taking the coins, people that invested in this card are gonna start selling, undercutting. The upgrades for these cards are not gonna happen most likely until Thursday night at the very earliest or Friday. These are probably not gonna happen until Friday, maybe even Friday night after whatever content we get Friday 6 p.m. UK because it takes a little bit of time for EA to do this stuff. That's the way they've done it in the past. We'll see if they do it this year and talk about that again later this week.  Why is Hazard or why is Cisoco and guys like Renato Sanchez still valued as low-rated cards this high on the market when the rest of the market has been sold off so much. It's really just because of investors and people holding on to these cards and there is gonna be a flood of them on the market because people think their prices are gonna rise when they get upgraded but what's gonna actually happen is the market's been devalued as a whole so much. A lot of these cards are gonna get upgraded and Team of the Year is gonna come out in two, three weeks and there's no more Champions League games until February that these cards are gonna be forgotten about very, very fast. It's gonna be the same scenario as last year in FIFA 20. It's gonna be the exact same scenario as in FIFA 20. I'm gonna show you some of these cards right now. Let's take a look at Gareth Bale from last year in FIFA 20. His wrote to the final item, right? What you see is they come out, boom. He goes up to 1.2 mil over the Team of the Year time period. He drops back down to 840, 869,000 coins like right during Team of the Year, 820 even and then boom, as the game starts to come back up he spikes, he's going back to a million coins, right? So we are right here right now. We are basically at the peak. Some of these cards are never gonna be higher than they are right now. There's gonna be a big drop off as we head into Team of the Year. That's why my advice to you is, take it safe, play it safe, sell these cards on Tuesday, Wednesday, before their games and if you wanna try to be risky and trade with them during the games or invest in a guy like Hazard because like I mentioned a guy like Hazard could very easily go back over to 800,000 coins. A guy like Griezmann who was guaranteed the upgrade who was 620K earlier this weekend is still down in the 550,560,000 coin range which is kind of interesting to me. This card is gonna go to 199 and I feel like people might buy this up because they're just wanting to invest in cards but I'm still a bit scared. Again, as I mentioned with the whole market being sold off as a whole, these cards haven't really dropped and I think their time is coming later this week with the upgrades on the horizon, more content coming out. That's why if you've invested I want you to take the coins pretty early unless you're gonna try to ride out a guy like Hazard who's low because their chance of getting in is slim then a big time rebound and then you sell and then of course he drops back down when they do get those upgrades. Very rarely have we seen in the past couple of years where these wrote to the final cards actually rise after they get the upgrade. It's very, very rare specifically this upgrade right here during the group stages to the knockout stages. So that's kind of the wrote to the final stuff that I'm thinking about this week. Obviously a lot going on with that. Now let's talk a little bit about icon swaps. Again, that could possibly come today. Do I think it will? I don't think so, but I guess it's a possibility and that's why also I think you find a lot of people not wanting to buy cards right now in the market because when that comes out that's gonna take over everybody's minds and that's what everybody's gonna be doing on FIFA. So they might not even have to drop any of that really insane SPC content. They just have to drop icon swaps and that would bring a lot of people and that would motivate a lot of people to do stuff on the game to get icons. So that would impact the icon market a little bit. That's why, again, I think you've seen a lot of panic selling on icons this weekend, specifically today or yesterday on Sunday, into today on Monday. I think that's why you're seeing a lot of that panic. Now I did mention that I was gonna talk about Player of the Month, Bruno Fernandez. Bruno Fernandez should be coming out this Friday because the vote started last week. The vote should be closing early this week and you will see a Player of the Month Bruno come out. I think it's gonna be 90 rated. Now a lot of you guys might be thinking it could be 91. I think it's gonna be 90 rated, of course, because last year in FIFA 20, Lionel Messi got his first Player of the Month card. His first ever Player of the Month SPC last year was in December, right around this time and the Player of the Month Messi was the, it was a plus one from his inform, right? Messi's inform was 95 rated. He had a 96 rated team in the group stage and then they gave him a 96 rated Player of the Month as well. It's the exact same situation with Bruno. Now of course EA could do whatever they want. They could give him a 91, but I realistically think it's gonna be a 90 rated Bruno Fernandez and I think you're gonna see panic selling on this card later in the week this week and it could inhibit this card's rise because of that being in people's minds. I think Bruno is a clear cut winner so if you wanna start buying SPC fodder and sort of prepare for that, I guess you could if you wanted to. Since that stuff is kinda lower right now, I would expect possibly somewhere around a million coins for that Bruno SPC because they have not made any Player of the Months cheap this year if they would make Bruno around like 750K or 800K. Even with this card valued at 900 with similar stats, I think people would go nuts for a 90 Bruno just with how good this card is becoming with the 80 pace. I've heard a lot of people say very, very good things about this Bruno Fernandez card, but let's talk about just trading in general for a second if you're gonna trade with cards this week. One guy that I've got in my eye on and this card type is gonna be perfect for trading this week is our favorites, the rule breakers. Rule breakers and record breakers are both pretty rare items on this market. Alex Tashira right now in the market is right around 230,000 coins but he's very rare. He fluctuates all the time between like 220, 220 lows and like 230 to 240. I don't see that changing this week. I really don't. There's special cards that are very rare out of packs are going to fluctuate. So keep an eye on them, right? Keep an eye on them this week. Royce is another great one, La Porte. Just trying to name some players that you guys might be able to use to add in your repertoire to be fluctuation trading with this week. I bought a Vardy to kind of finish out my week in the games tonight for 500K flat and I think he's now in the 520 to 530 range. So basically right now I'm breaking even with this card being 560 just yesterday, two days ago, I think he goes back a little bit more into this week as well. So one thing I did not talk about yet was team the group stage cards. I said they were dropping off with the supply. Could these cards? Wow, Marcus Rashford is 1.08 million coins. That's crazy. Now with these prices getting this low, as you guys are seeing the footpin screen right now and maybe seeing like, yo, these are mad low. This Marcus Rashford card, all right, that was an undercut. That was a footpin undercut because Marcus Rashford's 113, he was 13 on all day of Saturday until the market started going down, right? Messi's card is 1.6 million. He was over 2.1 at multiple times this weekend. Wow, that's crazy for Messi that he's right around 1.7. That's wild. He's dropped off so much. The Bruins 45, Taylor Hernandez is low. Holland is low. Kimmich is low. Just like we had a lot of panic on Saturday morning and then there was a bounce back. I expect that some of these cards are just gonna get low tonight and they are gonna start to get bought back. There is gonna be a point where they get too low. This Kimmich card bounces around like crazy. If I saw this at 200K flat, I would be a buyer. 206, is that getting insta-bought? It's not, wow, that's crazy. I wish I had coins because I would probably snag that. Some of these cards are on the lower tier of price. I would watch around because I do think these guys are gonna bounce up a little bit into Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. If we don't get big-time, tradable content or icon swaps, I think these guys are gonna fluctuate a bit. Even though they're very packable, we have to be careful with the pack supply SBCs when they come. People are trying out these new cards and they're trying them out because they're so cheap, right? The people that are playing FIFA are using these new cards because they're so cheap, man. 200K for this, right? 200K for a new 90 rated Kimmich. A new Sterling 192, Holland 279. A lot of these cards are very, very cheap and that's, again, another reason why the market is so low right now at this point in the game. So, hopefully that covered a lot of you guys' questions. For the market outlook this week, it's all gonna depend on the content with what happens, but Road to the Finals are gonna be the number one main attraction this week in terms of people watching Champions League, trying to make coins and trying to trade with this kind of stuff. So definitely keep an eye on the Road to the Final cards. There's gonna be money made if you're risky with it enough. During the games, if you wanna watch the games or have notifications turned on when a team scores a goal, there's gonna be some panic selling. Like, let's say if a lesser team is playing a favorite that is kind of still on the edge, right? Like, let's play like Man U's game this week.  Let's say Man U score first. That means Klosterman's gonna drop.  But then if Leipzig are really attacking in the second half and it looks like they might come back, then maybe you try to take a risk and you buy Klosterman and if they score and end up going ahead or something, then boom, it's gonna be flip flop. So that's the crazy fluctuations that you might see with these guys in game this week if you wanna get really risky with it. So that's a very long market outlook video for you Monday, but there's a ton to talk about and just kind of talking about the state of the game as well. If you enjoyed this video, smash a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel if you're new. It's been Nathan Foot Accountant. I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


Okay, so let's understand a little bit more about this ARM technology now so You know these Texas instruments has developed this You know ARM Cortex-M4 series MCUs which are like you know quite popular for a lot of Industrial kind of usage and applications. Okay, some of the usages if you go to the data sheet you will find You know their gaming interfaces and a lot of this is Some mobile chips we may have like no say additional chips as these Controller chips and things like that. Okay, so there are many many devices in which you will find this kind of And then the application note will give like no these small details Maybe it Okay, maybe not now, but like no maybe we can go through some of these You know Details in the in the data sheet between maybe if it may be we can get first I go over view of the of this technology itself and then maybe we can go into little more details of the data sheets of This okay, like let's do that first. Okay, not jumping to like no say so this arm technology has like a lot of these different You can just kind of appreciate for now that This technology has like a lot of families of microcontrollers, which are used in many many different kind of industrial applications and devices and The main kind of a crux of this technology is Like this arm stands for this advanced risk machine. Okay, RISC RISC stands for reduced instruction set computer. Okay, so so this is reduced instruction set computer is is Is having the main idea or main philosophy here To develop this kind of a technology is to reduce the number of clock cycles required to execute Whatever instruction is to be executed Okay, each of the instructions that you execute say you want to move some contents of one register to other register It takes some finite number of clock cycles now this clock cycles Determine like you know, how much is a time taken for execution of the command and Clock frequency would determine how fast that that will happen. Okay So if you if you have say 80 megahertz kind of a clock, okay, which is there in diva And say you're taking like no 15 clock cycles to execute some command Okay, so you can find out what is a time taken to kind of execute that come kind of command. Okay, so So as compared to the normal microcontrollers where this arm technology is not there and when this arm technology is there Each of these commands, whatever are designed in this arm technology They they will have like no the reduced number of clock cycles to execute Okay, so that's why I like no this this they can do it really really fast kind of You know execution of your hardware Programs, okay, so that is a main kind of advantage of this arm technology And it is some kind of industrial standard now like no for a lot of industrial Machines okay, mechatronics systems. This is people are using this arm based Okay, and The other thing is that like The programs that you write, okay here, even if I'm now the chip is upgraded here. You'll you'll execute those those Like no programs with with much not much of a modification. Okay, so here again the programming is also based on like the base I See see level program, okay, so we'll see like, you know, what kind of a way how do you kind of really go ahead and program this Okay So let's move on to this You know this these are different different technologies and corresponding features of the the Technology, okay, so this is a cortex for cortex M4 kind of a technology And now like no that more kind of modern is cortex R4 technology Okay, so so there are there's some kind of a you know more details are given. This is what is this architecture? So this is version seven We seven M kind of a creature. So we seven are some some differences are here. We may not understand everything at this stage It's okay But one can kind of like no see there are some things that are They are in the advanced Say for example cash memory is there in this cortex R4 series, but not there in this earlier series So so as as the as people use this and then the demand, you know, the Manufacturer demand that okay, we want some kind of this feature people start developing like no the company start developing The next versions of the microcontroller and that's how like no, there's the the evolution of these different Microcontrollers takes place the way you see the evolution that have happened in the In your computer systems. Okay. Similarly, like you know, there are these kind of evolution that happen Keep on some developments keep on happening Okay, so so so the microcontroller that we will be using or we'll be looking at is this No Cortex M4 kind of a series microcontroller. Okay, and it has this 32-bit kind of architecture Okay, 32-bit data processing will be will be there Okay So one can look at some of these details some details I may also not be able to kind of tell you detail I'll have to kind of read more about it and I'll be able to tell you but you can try to kind of find out and like no see if you can Understand some of the parts at least Okay Say for example interrupt latency here is is 12 cycles here. It is 20 cycles. It will have some kind of a Delay in the interrupt Coming in execution. Okay, so this is increased here because of some advance Saving something like that may be there Which is I don't think this is a good thing to happen I mean we want interrupts who kind of like no get executed very fast But anyway, so as I said like no, this is typically like no These are the features that are given and I know some advanced features will be there in the in the higher series Be from me catwin's perspective you may or may not need to kind of get into too many details about this any way But okay, so unless very specific application comes we should be able to kind of you know dig into that and see okay Otherwise we probably from a catwin's engineers, you know, we don't need to really bother too much about okay see this floating point unit is is There inside this cortex, so this is one can appreciate it. Okay. You have this floating point built-in kind of a unit and Here it is No single and double precedence are also there So this is a more precise kind of a calculations can be done with the cortex R4 series than M series Okay, fundamentally like you know, so so even if you don't know In the specific data sheet of the microcosm microcontroller as long as you know that okay It is it belongs to this cortex M4 series. It's fine. Like no, you know that okay It cannot do like you know the double precision as a Built-in in the future in the microcontroller one has to one has to write a separate program that means like no one has to expand more kind of a number of clock cycles to execute double precision in the in the single precision inherent microcontroller platform So those are kind of like no things one can see from me catwin's perspective So now if you come to this diva arm cortex microcontroller It's features if you see the in the data sheet are given in this kind of a format And then there'll be some block diagram to kind of explain these like more in detail Okay, so you have this 80 megahertz operation. So these 80 megahertz means like you know your clock is running at that kind of a frequency and Then depending upon like know what is the length of your program or number of clock cycles that your program may take you can have a sampling time which is More or less, you know based on this and this can you know determine your sampling time actually Then some memory details are there and there are communication details there and there is a See water for my catwin's system perspective is more important for us is this advanced motion control So they have these PWM interfaces Okay Two modules we each with four PWM generators. So there are eight PWMs in these Macrocontroller and For total 16 PWM outputs and and so two PWM modules each with four PWM generator blasts Okay, so actually it should be eight. I don't know why they're calling these 16 PWM outputs So there may be something more we need to see in Then there are these two quadrature encoder interfaces modules, okay And the encoder which is having A and B pulses. Okay, so that encoder can be now directly connected to this Quadrature encoder interface. Okay, you remember why it is called quadrature because it's Anything about Yeah, it gives like notice and we pulses which are phase shifted by 90 degree and the combination of that gives over one cycle for different Pulsates can be possible. So For for it refers to a quad Okay, so that's why it called quadrature four different pulses you get over one cycle because of this cascade of like A and B signals by shifted by 90 degrees So that phase difference is what gives you the direction also so that's how like no this this entire thing like no how to read these pulses and Convert them into count and Increment account if it is direction positive and decrement account if it is direction negative everything is done by this dedicated interface So you don't need to kind of like no do any of the operations of this You know more this kind to to get the number for the encoder count Into your micro control system that will be directly given by this if you configure in this interface appropriately You'll be directly getting the output reading and that's what we'll do Will we are sending you this motor and Along with this encoder, so we'll interface this encoder with diva and like see How it can give this counts That all we Will do as a part of the lab So we'll focus on on this motion control kind of a part and then some part of an analog inputs, okay, and So these other things are in useful a package and other things will be useful from if you want to kind of now with a dedicated Kind of a embedded system board for your application, okay, which we will not have a question if you could win this course Okay, we'll have to do a PCB manufacturing for that and it's not a part of this course Okay, so we'll move on from here. This is like no more details about about the diagram So this is a tag refers to communication interface which is typically used for You know downloading the the C level program Compiled version to to the microcontroller Memory and exchange the the variables from the memory to the to this kind of a you know There's software program in which you like the right the codes, okay, which in this case will be code composer studio Okay, so there'll be some interface that is needed. Okay, which will share some kind of a memory locations to Real-time know. Okay. What is happening to different resistors? What is happening to different variables in what we what you have used in program?  Okay, so this is a tag or a sub to D those kind of interfaces are there and then these are like different you can see this bus system is there and then like These are memories That are interface so say some some party to have a unidirectional some party to have a bi-directional memory then there is some so this is like, you know the interrupt vector interrupt kind of a interface then Like that you just read some part may make sense some part may not make sense. It's okay. It doesn't matter Okay, so as so part which doesn't make sense You go through and like no need a little more and like no things that start making sense There is a wrong in which like no read read on the memory if you know Sure, you know it has some driver libraries Okay, so it has you see, you know this wrong has like the bootloader That means like no the system boots for this microcontroller through this wrong the way when you start your computer system Also, you'll have some kind of a Small part of the program that you get executed that is a return in the wrong So that like no your system is at the for the first time it starts booting from there Okay And then like no it it cuts off other routines to kind of like no execute and like no get a get a computer Ready for you to kind of work the way the same way it happens in my phone They're like no it starts off with the execution of this commands in the wrong And then like no the microcontroller is ready for for your programming and The important part is that there are drivers libraries already like no recorded into this wrong So those libraries are not kind of fetched and burned separately like no through these JTAG interface I know they are kind of taken and like no burned here every time the program So so that saves you a lot of what you say Programming time partly and also the the execution time Okay, so the memory of your application will not have any of the libraries is there Okay, then because they are already coded into this wrong and they'll be kind of like no call from the wrong to To be used and that that's one of the other reasons like no things Are are are fast in some sense in this Microcontrollers Okay, especially the programming is faster. You'll be fine. Okay very quickly like no this this program gets loaded on to this Microcontroller and so now you're ready to execute Okay, when you start programming like no, you notice this difference You know as compared to what you are doing with XC P 100 or your I don't know or any in the previous thing You'll find that you know the program will get very fast downloaded on to this Microcontroller platform team of that Okay, again here also as I said for the way it was there for XC P 100 if you see the pins here, this is our GPIO pins. Now. This is the general purpose input output or one can one can say Understand this as a digital input output interface. So they have alternate functions Okay, this is important to know that okay pins can have alternate functions So for example here if you see this PC for PC I PC 6 these are the pins here. They they have You know they are shared between like you know this phase A1 phase B1 and phase or index one Okay, so these are the pins for the Encoder interface Remember that I know we had a phase B phase and you had index pulse also Okay, so these pins so when you interface your encoder like no you'll use these three pins or like no There are two intercooler encoder interface is one of the interface is this and some other interface you'll find like no for a 2 idx 2 PHA 2 phb 2 like that you may find some other pins. Okay, so so in this case like no there they fall as PC so these are the And the names of general purpose input output PC 6 PC 5 and PC PC 4 Okay, these pins you connect to your Encoders and then like no you hope that okay where you configure this appropriately So so so naturally then there'll be somewhere you need to kind of say that okay Oh, I'm using these pins not as general purpose input output, but I'm using these pins as encoder outputs Okay, so that configuration like no reconfiguration of the pins need to be done somewhere. There'll be some commands to do that Okay, so this is how one can understand. Okay by looking at these pin diagrams or some other kind of a details Okay, what it means when I start programming, okay in programming also it will be given there, but like no if if We know what we are looking for then it's much easier to find out what we are looking for and then figure out and like Go ahead with programming. So So so there are you know, it's a skill Okay, I would say to develop and that comes through your previous background of whatever microcontroller programming And you start programming a new microcontroller use some philosophical ideas And then like no some of these cues from somewhere or like some previous examples of some some programming And I know you need to kind of like no finally make sure that your application is is running fine So that is exercise We all have to go through we'll understand a little more about this, you know, um context technology Okay, so Let's see. Maybe you want more slides to go through so So So this will talk a little bit at a philosophical level about the programming is important and This see this see once you have this philosophy No firm up in your mind then Actually what to expect what not to expect is is is is very clear. You don't so I like no We don't need to teach learn our syntax. Okay syntax is not a big deal to learn Okay, so You might have like we might appreciate that by now like no We might have done two three computer languages see or some other kind of thing and You know, the syntax is not but ideas and the philosophy or like no the the way of doing things Or the way of thinking Okay, how do I like to create a logic around this? Okay, that is what is more important. Okay So so we need to shift that for, you know, um microcontroller programming Okay, the way you think In the in the domain of normal computer programming cc language programming Although there are a lot of similarities, but there are some certain distinct features that one needs to be very clear about okay, so So we will not talk about much about assembly level program. We will not use it at all actually Uh, but this is like the most fundamental way to program stuff. Okay So you you know all the registered Details and like no, you say, okay for this command to be executed I know I need to move something from this register to that register from then then like no I need to do something like that You need to know the sequence of operations to be carried out and you are programming each of the operations for Just like you know doing some simple task Okay, that is too much of a tragedy.  You are not using c Okay, so so actually c programs Finally, we'll kind of convert the code into assembly level only but you are directly writing that Okay, but that is not the way that I've just listed it just for the sake of completeness of this But um, we'll not use that So the next high level programming is where like, you know, you um have the registers And uh, each of the registers, uh, you know their functionality Okay, the functionality. How do we know the functionality functionality will come from the datasheet In the programming of xcp100 for example, okay, so for programming, uh, say digital input output interface There is a register called ddr Okay, the direction data direction register. Okay, ddr x or ddr Uh, whatever a b c d there are different, uh, you know, registers Now these registers you need to write something Okay in those as As some data and that will have some meaning And what what data return has what meaning is given in the datasheet of the programming for that microcontroller And that's how like, no you initiate different registers to achieve different things. Okay, for example in xcp100 specifically to Have those registers as a output registers. Okay, so I want a Register as a port as a output port then I use ddr a to be equal to some ff number Okay, so then all the pins of this port a will be configured as a output pins. Okay In other cases, they can be configured as input pins as well Okay, so like that, uh, you write these as a c level commands. Okay So this ddr a is equal to zero x ff is a command in the c that you write and uh, When it is compiled it will like, you know, do all these jobs about whatever it needs to be done to At assembly level to get the make sure that you know these Port a is configured as a as a output port Okay, so that is so there are these these registers are called come control registers And then there are some other registers called data registers Okay, so you need to understand, uh, that, um, functionality of this register Okay, we need to control register or it is a data register and write appropriate kind of values According to the data sheet in those registers and your programming is done. Okay, so that's how, uh, you You go ahead programming, uh, next level of program for microcontroller Okay, where you have access you are directly like, you know, writing these registers in in some sense Okay, and, um So, so let let let us see So, so, so this is next level of like, no programming where you are doing the register level programming control registers and data registers separately You are initiating and doing some some kind of operation. So some of you are familiar with XP 100 it will be kind of a very Easy thing to understand or those who are not like, you know, you need to kind of see those things and see the data sheet And then you can make sense of some of the things. Okay, so so the idea here is not to kind of like, no Understand everything from all the details. No, what we want to kind of like, you know, get a point here is that You have these registers names available as a variables and those variables are initiated to some kind of a Data values depending upon what is a function ID that is needed. That is a one higher level of programming for Microcontroller, okay, and then there is yet another level of programming where you are now heavily dependent upon the Libraries, okay, so there are commands that are there in the in the libraries That kind of carry out the operation that you want to do and you have to kind of supply There are those functions some appropriate data as a as arguments. Okay, so that is a way like, you know, the The diva based or like no ARM context-based microcontrollers will be programming We'll be programming in that kind of way Okay, so we'll we'll we'll get into more details about that as we go down But for now, maybe we'll we'll stop here. We have some more details about the programming philosophy coming up next Different kinds of things that We need for specifically for our Mechatronics kind of application from the Microcontroller what we should what we what we should have in microcontroller which will use which will use for Mechatronics for this, okay, so that's what will be coming up the next Okay, and That's how we will move on, okay So maybe we'll stop here for now


Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby-cheating video and today we're gonna talk about making your miniatures pop, the final step of when you're painting something. So I'm just finishing up this unit of Chaos Warriors. These are the new Chaos Warriors and I really love these minis and I just want to talk about sort of the final things you can do. Now I've spent a long time on these guys, you know, I'm painting up 20 of them. I've put a lot of work into them to try to make them, you know, really nice and a really high quality and deserving, a paint job deserving of the sculpt hopefully. But I want to talk about when you get to the end of a project, there's a really important step that I think a lot of us don't do because we start to get close somewhere like this. We say, yeah that's good enough and we just stop and I want to encourage you to spend, you know, just another few minutes. I know it's tough. One of the hardest things you can do is keep painting, especially when it's at the end of a long project and you just want to be done, oh when will this ever end? You know, I've spent probably 60 hours on these guys so far, maybe more just because they're so complicated and I wanted to take them to a high level but we're not gonna stop there. So I've got a little selection of a couple of the guys from the units and I want to just talk about various things. So in general, when you have a fig like this, there are certain things that people always pay attention to. So rather than if you want to get the most impact, if you want your miniatures to stand out, I'm gonna talk about those final pop elements that can really, really add and make your fig stand out. So the old adage is bases, faces, banners, and shields, okay? This is sort of the thing because that's what, when people look at your stuff ranked up, that's what they see. Now obviously not everybody has a banner but a couple of people in your unit do so spend extra time on your banners. I'm not gonna, you can go to all my freehand videos and you'll see kind of ways you can punch up banners. What I want to talk about this time is more focusing on, and I have a lot of basing videos, you can go watch those. What I want to talk about more is the fig itself, so the face, the shield, stuff like that. These warriors are great because they have these big, expressive, really nice, angular shields that just, you can do really fun stuff with, right?  That's just super cool. So the elements that you want to look at are, these are the sort of questions you want to ask yourself. One, have I popped enough contrast on the face? What if the rest of your figure that you haven't taken the contrast up as much, if the face and the shield, if one's present, are really high contrast? People won't notice the rest. Because the shield and the face are where people look, like as human beings we're just trained to look at faces. And so we do it on miniatures as well. So for example, on this guy right here, one of the things I could do is I could, his horns don't perhaps go as bright as they could, they're still a little dingy.  Nice little recipe for getting a good, thin, sharp line. So I can take a sharp brush with some nice white on it, and I can come right to his, these little horns, or I could do this on top of his head if he didn't have a helmet, or something like that. I can put a little dot for a light spot right there. I just kind of build that up. Little minor touches, and that's it, takes a few seconds. It's not a long, lengthy process. I'm not going in and repaying anything. There you go. It doesn't make the biggest difference, but people notice it when you do little stuff like that. When you just give that miniature that extra little tiny bit of pop that makes it stand out. Those are the kind of things you can do. So the other thing that often falls into this time, I'm just going to clean up his helmet a little here while I'm talking, is look and say, do I have the opportunity to do some quick fun freehand or some quick fun weathering? You know, one of the reasons people love Nurgle is because they get to weather the thing like crazy, right? And who doesn't love that? Like it's super fun to weather stuff. But that doesn't have to be the only time we do it, right? So let's see what else we can do. Let's go look at a different guy.  If that was a human face, I would just make sure the highlights, like if it was this guy, make sure the highlights on like, you can see how popped the highlights are on like the horns on his head, his nose, his chin, stuff like that. We'll come back to him in a moment. So one of the fun things that's happening on a lot of their shields in the Casuers is they have these big deep cuts in them. And I was thinking about that and with this color scheme, I don't really want to do like brown and orange rust and it wouldn't show up anyways and it would clash and it wouldn't look well. But it wouldn't look good, sorry. But I really like the ones like this that have a little bit of more of the turquoise color right because they have the dragon scales. And I was thinking about, well, how do I pass that around? Well, clearly I can do the weapon. But what if instead of these shields rusting, what if they oxidized in the cuts in more like a copper? So maybe I take a little bit of my deep turquoise. And maybe we just run a little bit of that down into that crack. Let's do a little tiny streak out of there. We'll put a little bit down on that one too, a little bit down there. And then let's take a little bit of my brighter turquoise and then let's go ahead and drop a little bit of that in there. Kind of vertigrity edge. Let's do a tiny little streak down.  Here, I'm just, those other colors were just like generic turquoises. You can use anything. I was using Galejo, but any kind of... I'm not trying to show the really color recipes for doing this in this case. I'm just trying to show you the more the idea. And then let's do some more traditional streaking. Because this is really transparent stuff. So we can just add a little bit of that. Maybe we can put a little bit around one of these guys up here. Maybe we'll kind of rust out one of these little screws. But instead of rust, we'll oxidize it. So we'll put a little bit of dark in there. And we'll just tippy tap the top of that with a little bit of that oxide. So it really pops. All right? So we can just have a little bit of those kind of elements. So we can take that farther. You know, I could do it to a couple of the leg scratches as well that are on here. But the point is, is that then I kind of help balance those colors. It adds a little bit of visual interest. So my point is, think about little tiny touches. Again, doesn't take long. I only need to put a few of them on here. And it's such a different effect when it's in that blue. Don't hem yourself in to the colors that you think something has to be. Well, I can't do rust on this because it's not the right color pattern for it. All right, if I do rust, I have to make it brown. And I have to make it orange. No, you don't. You can the effect will sell as long as it looks like it should in its place in the right place. So I don't know what their weird chaos metals made of. Maybe it's made of something that does tend to oxidize green instead of oxidizing brown. It doesn't have to be ferrous. Right? Who knows what chaos metal is made of. So whatever. You can you can push stuff like that. Little touches like that around here, just even if they're light, like I could stop that. No other weathering on here. No thing on this dude. I just kind of spread that around a little bit on all the figs and it's going to add such an interesting little visual pop of color. It's something that when people get close to your miniatures, they discover, right? Because when you set it way back and it's, it's, you know, one of a bunch of dudes on the table, right? They might not notice them. But when they then look closer and they look at the mini and they're like, oh, that's cool. You've got a little weathering on there too. That's a discovery, right? It's something that's just cool to notice. Those kinds of little fun discoveries make a big difference when it comes to painting miniatures. Finally, let's go back to this guy. When you have a, when you have a face, one of the things I like to ask myself is if you have open skin, could I do a quick simple tattoo? Could I do something like that? But instead, in this case, let's do something else fun, okay? So instead of worrying about like a tattoo or whatever, let's just give him a nice five o'clock shadow, right? So five o'clock shadows are like tremendously easy to do. You just take any kind of dark blue-black. I like using a little Payne's gray for it. That certainly works very well. You want it to be, you want your paint to be like really, really thin. So I'll show you the kind of thin I'm talking about, that way too thick, okay? What I'm talking about. And then we're just going to come in and we're going to take this very soft water, this very soft filter. It's all thinned out of the brush. And I'm just going to run it right over there after I've already done all my highlighting. All right, and we just give it that slight blue tinge that makes it feel like there's a nice five o'clock shadow there. Let that dry. You let it darken. You see how you feel about it. If you want it to be a little darker, easy peasy. You can come back easy peasy lemon squeezy. We come back in and we go a little bit another level and then boom. Just like that. We've got a little five o'clock shadow there, right? So again, any kind of like blue, black, dark color will work. You don't really, I couldn't tell you like the GW color, but I tend to use a lot of like Payne's gray for it, stuff like that. You can run it down. You can make sure it really gets into the sort of deeper shadow recesses, like under the nose and the crease and stuff like that. And if you want, you can come back into the flesh with that same color. Mix in a little bit of your highlight flesh and you can come back in and kind of just pop up the chin or the cheek or something like that if it darkened up a little too much, just to re-bring out your highlights, right? Again, little fun elements to discover that make it so there's a reward for coming in and looking at your miniature. So how to summarize. Taking your miniatures to a higher level and making them look interesting often isn't a level of needing to work every part of the miniature. It's a factor of when you get to the end of the road, when you get to kind of the, you know, you think you're done. You look over the mini and you say, where are my opportunities here? Where can I make sure people are paying attention to the face and upping my contrast? Where could I add some small additional visual interesting elements? A little tiny bit of freehand, a glowing rune, a bit of rust, a bit of weathering. Anything like that, that's a discoverable element. And when could I add something that makes the person, especially a unit champion like this stand apart, right? Where can I give him a simple five o'clock shadow? Could I put a small tattoo on his head? Could I give him a little scar across his face? Scars are another, if you have a lot of exposed flesh, obviously these guys are all encased in metal, but that's another thing. And so if you say, well, I'm not really comfortable with tattoos, do some scars. I've got a video on how you can do scars and bruising and cuts. Put some of those in there, breaks up those surfaces. These are all fast things. Even times 20 guys, you know, I've spent 50, 60 hours. It's maybe another hour to go through and touch everybody with these little tiny things. But it makes a huge difference to the overall impact of the mini. So there you go. That's three simple examples. Like I said, focus on your bases, your faces, your banners and your shields, but above all, faces. That's the most important part. But I hope that was helpful for you. I hope I gave you some things to think about that can help you take your minis up to the next level. These guys are almost done now, which I'm very excited about. I'm just going to go through and continue all the work on them to do those final touches. But as always, I very much appreciate you watching this one. Give it a like if you like it. Subscribe for additional hobby cheating in the future. If you have suggestions for future videos, go ahead and throw those down in the comments. I always love to see suggestions from viewers. Share this video. That's deeply appreciated. But as always, we'll see you next time.


The National Assembly on Tuesday passed the Conference Committee report on the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. The report was approved by both upper and lower chambers after debate on the bill by lawmakers at Plenary. Emmanuel Ehigene completes the report. We call that most times both chambers pass different versions of the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. This time it was imperative to set up a harmonization committee to harmonize both other Senate. It was the leader of the Senate who is also chairman of the Conference Committee, Senator Abdul Lai, that laid the ground for the debate. He did so through a motion and it was unanimously adopted by the senators. The Senate constituted the Assemblyman Conference Committee to meet with members of House of Representatives Committee to harmonize the differences between the Senate and House versions of the bill for an act to repeal the Electoral Act number 6-2010 and enact the Electoral Act 2021 to regulate the conduct of federal, state and area accounts in the federal, community, and territory elections and for related matters. In the course of carrying out this assignment, several meetings were held which culminated in a retreat held across Covent Garden on Thursday 21st October 2021. The members of the Conference Committee have been presented in paragraph 1.1.1. Then I'll put the question on the entire report. That was in favour that the Senate do approve the Conference Committee report on the Electoral Act number 6-2010. Say aye. That was again saying aye. The ayes have it. Same was the case in the lower chamber as members also adopted the motion after the House dissolved into the Committee of the whole House. Chairman of the House Conference Committee later briefed the media on the road to achieving the landmark bill. It was applauded and amplified by the spokesman of the House of Representatives Honorable Benjamin Kahlu at the briefing. I will begin to look at the principle of democracy that need to be fine tuned so as to meet the best practices in all the advanced democratic climes. One of which is returning power to the people where this government of the people by the people for the people will be seen operating fully for the benefit of the people. The bill will be transmitted to President Mamadubwari through the clock of the National Assembly in due course.


Alright, so let's take a look at another way we can use the Euclidean Algorithm. And this is in a particular problem. And again, a useful thing to keep in mind is that a good way to fail a math course is to try and work problems by following the examples that somebody gives you. You don't learn math by watching somebody else do math. The only time you really should look for an example for insight in how to solve a math problem is after you've spent some amount of time trying to solve the problem on your own. And the reason that this is important is that the time you spent trying to solve a problem gives you an idea of what you've learned. It reviews things that you should know and causes you to pull together all the knowledge that you've acquired thus far. And this is an important part of the learning process. But after you've given it a good try to attempt to figure out a problem, sometimes you just need that extra little bit of help. And so, well, let's take a look at that. Let's take a look at this problem. We have m equal to something 6k plus 8 and n equal to 3k plus 1. And we want to assume that m and n are not relatively prime. And we want to find the greatest common divisor. And so, before proceeding, it's worth trying to figure out what we can't actually do. And so, let's take a look at that. One of the things we can't do is because we don't know what n and m are, because we don't have them as a product. We have them as a sum. We have them as a sum. We can't actually factor m and n. We can't determine what they are products of. And so, this means that finding the greatest common divisor is going to require us to use the Euclidean algorithm. Now, again, another way to fail mathematics is to use formulas and algorithms without understanding why they work. So, we know how to use the Euclidean algorithm, but it's important to remember why the Euclidean algorithm works. And the reason that it works is that anything that divides both numbers will also divide the remainder when I divide one by the other. That means I'm going to want to take a look at the remainder when we divide m by n. Well, again, another way to fail mathematics is to use formulas and algorithms without understanding why they work. There is a division algorithm. There is a way that we can divide two numbers, but how do you apply it to something like this? Well, again, we want to go back to why that algorithm works. And in particular, because I need the remainder, well, it's the amount that I have left after I've removed the divisor as many times as possible after I've subtracted it. So, I can do division by repeated subtraction at 6k plus 8. I'll remove the divisor once to get that. And I can remove it again. And I have my remainder. And at this point, I don't have anything left over, so now I can try and find the greatest common divisor. It's got to be something that divides the remainder. So, there's my remainder of 6. And so, I know that my greatest common divisor has to be a divisor of 6. And I can list my choices. That's 1, 2, 3, or 6. Now, we know that the numbers aren't relatively prime. Because you know the definitions, you can do mathematics. They're not relatively prime, which means that 1 is not the greatest common divisor. Not relatively prime means they do have a greatest common divisor larger than 1. So, I can eliminate 1 as a possibility. Now, the next step takes a little bit more observation and insight, but we might notice here that n is a 3k plus 1 number. Well, what does that mean? Well, by the definition of division, I know that n divided by 3 is k with remainder 1. That's our definition of division with quotient and remainder. So, I know that n divided by 3 is k with remainder 1, which means that 3 is not a divisor of n. And in particular, if 3 isn't a divisor of n, there's no possibility it can be a common divisor. So, I know that 3 is not the greatest common divisor. So, I can get rid of that. And in addition, if 3 is not the greatest common divisor, I can also get rid of any multiple of 3, which means that 6 also is not a possibility. And so, our greatest common divisor, one of the divisors of 6, well, the only one that works in the circumstance is going to be 2. And so, the greatest common divisor must be 2.


What's going on everyone Sam here with late in sports guards, and I am doing a two box break of 2022 punini UFC Select h2 for usif m. So good luck use of No, use of was in chat earlier.

We help people to organize their daily lives and to save time, effort and money. Hi all, I'm Demo Kivioja from Tech Inspire and this is where it all started.  So this is my family's calendar and we had events all over the places in different tools and tried to sync them all here into our calendar and the end result, completeness. We tried to find some kind of a solution for this, we tried many apps but they didn't like them. They were all hard to use, even harder to set up and didn't have the needed social features.  And it's called App Today. It's easy, personal and time saviour. Now I have all my events in control. I can easily see the daily schedule, events, participants, comments and even when it's right shares. Everything is so easy from the guided onboarding process to easy and fun daily use. Swiping between the days, tapping in and out of the event and adding and sharing your memories. And our test customers, they love it too. They can clearly see the benefits of using App Today. In the next version I can send event invitations to anyone. For example to you, you will receive a text message about the event details and link to download the free app. That's how we plan to go viral. So basic use is free but then App Today will include ads. And App Today is ideal for ads because it's used several times a day. Otherwise our business model is made easy for our customers. Oh yes, there is competition but App Today is easy, personal and unique. It combines social community and shared calendar features and carpooling into one easy to use package. And yes, we are using modern technology, which is easy to scale for global markets. Our team is a perfect combo of business, tech and marketing skills. We are very experienced and have progressed from idea to company in such six months. And we are also gas flow positive from subcontracting work. But now we want to concentrate on App Today and make it the watch up of calendars. And for that we are seeking partners and capital for global scaling. I'm Teemu Kiviaja from Tech Inspire and with App Today you can save time, effort and money. Thank you. Thank you. Questions please to the microphone please. What's your traction so far or have you launched already? Yeah currently we are on the test phase and we have 140 customers who are registered. And we will launch the product in Finland during January and globally latest March next year. 140 customers that number of downloads or I mean how many people are using it? Righties that users and now we are sort of coming out of from the cave in this last event and publishing it to the public. So we are pre-launch but our test customers they love it and I love it too. My family loves it. Okay, thank you. Alrighty, let's move on.


Hey Robert, this is Megan with Oxmore Toyota. I just wanted to send this quick video just to personally introduce myself. It has come to my attention through Toyota.com that you're in the market for a new 2016 Toyota Camry. When you can, go ahead and give me a call. You can reach me directly at<PHONE_NUMBER> and I hope to hear from you soon. Have a great day! Bye!


The central dogma is one of biology's most fundamental principles. It states that DNA provides the instructions to make RNA, which in turn directs the production of proteins. Here we'll be focusing on the second part of this process, where RNA guides the creation of proteins, also known as translations. RNA is similar to its better-known cousin, DNA, except for one nucleotide base, which are the chemical units that make up both DNA and RNA. RNA uses the nucleotide uracil instead of thymine, which is found in DNA. RNA is also usually single-stranded, unlike DNA, which is normally double-stranded. A specific type of RNA, called messenger RNA or mRNA, is responsible for providing instructions to make proteins. A group of three RNA bases, known as a codon, encode for specific amino acids, and multiple amino acids strung together make a protein. A triplet makes mathematical sense because it's the smallest number of bases that can produce enough possible combinations, or 64 to be exact, to code for all 20 amino acids as well as codons that signal for translation to stop. With 64 codons more than covers the 20 amino acids, the redundancy in the genetic code means that anywhere from one to six codons will encode for a specific amino acid. And this redundancy is important. Among other things, it provides an extra layer of safety in case the wrong nucleotide base is placed in a particular location, which helps ensure that less mistakes are made during the translation process. On the bottom here are the amino acids shown in their simple single letter form. The actual process of translation occurs through the action of a huge protein RNA complex called the ribosome, which reads codons one by one and incorporates the appropriate amino acid. At the beginning of every mRNA is a stark codon formed by the bases AUG, which codes for the amino acid methionine and tells the ribosome where to start translating. In order to translate a codon into an amino acid, another kind of RNA called a transfer RNA or TRNA, binds an amino acid on one end and matches up with the corresponding codon from the mRNA on the other end. When the TRNA brings the amino acid that matches the next codon in the mRNA, the amino acid attaches to the previous one, which starts the growing chain of amino acids. The process of attaching the amino acid to the previous one in the chain disconnects the TRNA from the amino acid and the naked TRNA leaves the ribosome and the process continues. This process continues until the ribosome hits one of the three stop codons, which signals the ribosome that it should stop translating. Once a stop codon is reached, the resulting amino acid chain is released from the ribosome and usually transported through organelles known as the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. These organelles help fold the amino acid chain into the correct shape as well as complete any additional modification needed to form a complete and functional protein. Meanwhile, the ribosomes are reused to take part in the translation of other mRNA molecules. This elegant, complex process is the basis of every single cellular function in our bodies and helps ensure everything runs according to our molecular instruction code, our DNA.
