Hope you enjoyed that segment with brother Ibrahim al-Sari's discussing Ziyarath Ashura. It's a Ziyarath that is very dear to my heart and I'm sure many of you as well. Now we are going to be speaking with our expert, Sister Barak Hussein, who's coming from Canada and she's a psychotherapist and on social media you can find her as the Muslim councillor. So join me in welcoming Sister Barak Hussein. Assalamu alaikum. Wa alaikum assalam. How are you today? Good, I'm fine. Are you up for our discussion about our relationship with food? Of course, let's do it. Excellent. So again, we have people, myself included, we come to a Friday night, you think I just need to eat something unhealthy, it's like you've been sort of good in the week. A lot of people refer to food as good and bad and I kind of look at it as healthy eating and then you can give yourself a bit of a break and not to be too extreme. And I hope that's pretty normal, I don't know about the relationship of food but that's why you're here to explain. When are things sort of a step too far in our relationship to food? How should we be looking at our intake of food and really how does it affect our mental health and well-being generally? Again, you asked such a big question, Sister, but very important ones. The relationship with food and mental health is huge, significant. What we put in our body is with that saying that we hear often, you are what you eat. So what you put in your body does have an impact on how you feel, your energy and I find with a lot of clients that come in who are dealing with the typical depression, anxiety and areas around that stress, it's because part of it is the lack of healthy lifestyle with the food, of course. So when you're eating healthy food, your balance, it's all about that balance. Healthy food intake, exercise, good sleep, good spirituality, good social networks, you're taking care of your mental health well and your overall well-being. And it will show, won't it? Absolutely, if one of these things are off, then it's hard to deal with challenges that come your way. So with food we want to make sure that it's balanced. You've got your protein, your complex carbohydrates, you've got your fruits and your vegetables and a variety of other nutrients in there. I'm not an expert in terms of dietitian, but this is my experience as a therapist with students over the years where I actually sit and make meal plans with them and I work with a dietitian where I will send students to them to get specific details on how to deal with that, including people who are dealing with disordered eating. So when you are constantly eating junk food, high sugar intake food, caffeine, you better believe that your anxiety is shooting through the roof and it could impact your glucose levels, your sugar levels, which can also give you that high and that low, which is why you feel so energetic sometimes and sad or low afterwards. So we really focus on making sure to have your breakfast. Why is it called breakfast? You're breaking your fast after fasting all night. So we've got a variety of healthy foods here, which I'm very happy to see. Having a banana smoothie, we're not touching those bananas. Fruit people. So having healthy bananas are great snacks, apples are great snacks. I always encourage my clients, especially because they're students, right? Who's got time to make a fresh meal every day? So we prepare a meal plan, working professionals, parents. This is a time management skill, financial tool as well to help you. So let's take a quick look at that and then we can get into, you know, this is healthy eating and what does disordered eating looks like? So healthy eating, hopefully. And I noticed here in London people don't do that. We're not great now. No, you're great with donuts and sandwiches and coffee and smoking. So breaking your fast, which could include a sandwich, can include a smoothie, oatmeal or you call it porridge here, right? So things like that are great in the morning because it's complex carbohydrates, which last longer because they take longer to digest. So you feel fuller longer, right? Not as hungry. White and rich flowers and breads, they go right through you. No nutrients. No, they go right through you. So you want things that are high complex, right? So in terms of fruit, someone told me that there's a hadith and I don't know which one it is or, you know, any reference to it. But eating fruit is better in the morning because it gives you, it's better for your wellbeing rather than eating later in the day. And I don't know if that's true, but would you say that just carrying fruit with you and having it as a mid snack between meals? Absolutely. And that's what you want to do is you prepare your snacks. That's why when we do that meal planning, breakfast snack, lunch snack, dinner, light snacks. Because if you can follow that flow throughout the day and I find it's easier when you're at work because you can prep the stuff over the weekend the night before and then you bring it with you. Whereas if you don't prepare, then you're running off to work with no breakfast, you grab a coffee or a donut, you're hungry, so you're going to grab that donut. Possibly that donut over that banana because that looks more attractive to your hunger, right?   Right, so when you have that breakfast, you know, mid-morning you are hungry, your metabolism is working which is what you want it to be doing. So you have a fruit, a banana is a great mid-morning snack. That's my usual. I have almost a set routine now because I'm used to it. Lunch is whatever I've had the night before, right? So the easiest way to plan about this is prepare dinner and lunch. What am I going to have for dinner and lunch for the whole week? Then the hardest part, it's done. You can use a slow cooker, you can cook things and freeze them and that way you're not tempted to go buy that sandwich or that burger or those fries. Because the thing with those, I mean even when I look at the sandwiches that we have in retail shops now, when you look at the ingredients and you think it's just a sandwich, a cheese or prawns, whatever it is and the calorific value of it is extremely high. Because they use stressings and empty calorie things. It's just not. No, and you can replace it with hummus or avocado and it doesn't take a lot of time to prepare over the weekend. You're saving so much money and time when you do this over the weekend or the day off throughout the week, right? So lunch, you've eaten your lunch, what do you crave after? You've had something savory. Obviously sweet. I recommend people to eat dark chocolate. Dates which have a lot of spiritual and Islamic benefits that we know. And why do we break our fast with a date? There's so much sugar, fiber and glucose rather that gives you that energy, right? I like putting almonds or walnuts inside of them and I recommend for students eating lots of walnuts because they look like little brains. They give you the concentration and focus. Almans have been known to help with focus and attention as well and believe it or not, cashews to panala have anti-depression qualities in them and a handful of cashews a day have been effective against anti-depression medications. Do you advise your patients to have these kinds of medications? Absolutely. Especially when we know they're dealing with depression or anxiety. I will go through a meal plan with them in terms of giving ideas. I give them resources. I connect them with the dietitian to get into even more detail because again, not my area of specific expertise but I have experience now with helping students with that. Why do I know it works? Because when they come back and talk to me about, so I changed my diet, I've been walking a lot more, working on my sleep, I've been writing in my journal, I've been doing a lot more spiritual things, reconnecting with friends but it's the food I find when they come back and tell me, I feel a lot better because I've been eating better. Amazing because when you have the proper food intake and you develop a healthy relationship with food and cut out the negative food, you feel the impact of it in your body. So we're talking about people that have, you know, adults and it was a couple of days ago I was talking to my co-host Ali and we were talking about children and he was saying that, you know, for instance, perhaps young children have bad habits, they're eating chips, they're provided fries, as you call them in North America.  So is it too early to start or is it never too early to start? It's never too early I have a personal example. My daughter wasn't allowed to touch sugar, she still doesn't, by the way. She grew up eating blueberries, blackberries, avocado, bananas, honey as the only sweetener. So by the time she reached her first birthday and I put that cupcake in front of her, she took one look at it, poked it, put it aside and asked for blueberries. Such a proud mama moment, you know. Until now, so what we do, for example, when she goes to centres and they throw out sweets and give out sweets, she comes back to me healthy, I'm like, no, it's not. And she's like, she will, you know, should I, should I not? I said, well, you know it's not healthy, what would you like to do instead? So what we have done is we have health food stores that sell sweets, as you call them, candies that are made from fruits, that are made from organic cane sugar, for example, rather than highly processed corn syrup and fructose and gluctose, which is just terrible and the chemicals that are used, which, by the way, have been linked to attention deficit disorder to children and hyperactivity, yes. So there's a lot of that, the sugar drinks, all of these things have a huge impact on a child's development. And cheap, and cheap, that's the thing, they're accessible. People, parents need to read and understand what are in the ingredients. I say this and it may be a little bit dramatic but you're feeding your kids poison. And I tell that to people, I said, do you want me to give my child poison with that lollipop? I will give her the fruit lollipop that I will pay a little bit extra for but she has that at home and I'll have it in my bag and I'll tell her to take these snacks with her. But you're very prepared, aren't you? I think that's a very good lesson. Well, this is what we need to be as parents, right, and for our own healthy eating. So you're saying too early, never too early. Teach them early because they will develop and my daughter does not have the taste to have sweets and whatnot because she knows what healthy sweets taste like and she will prefer her fruits. It's nice to hear that example because I've heard on social media there was, I think a couple of years ago, a story about a two-year-old that had never tasted sugar and then when you go into the article, the child actually did want sugar and was eating sugar after too because that was a bit... They got used to it. It's how we train ourselves and our child. It's how we train ourselves and our child and it's what you offer. She has a cupboard, for example. We have a cupboard full of healthy snacks. So every day after school when she empties her lunch bag, again routine, which is what kids need, right? Pick the healthy snacks you want for tomorrow and make sure there's a fruit and a vegetable. And she's old enough now, for example, to pick. So when you engage your children in picking and packing their lunches, it becomes an activity at home, bonding for the family, but then you're developing a healthy relationship and understanding of food. They get used to developing these habits early on. Now, when we talk about disordered eating, these kids growing up could be dealing with depression, could be dealing with abuse in the home, could be dealing with... sort of bullying as well, right? So being made fun of in terms of the way that they look. So this can develop potentially. I'm not saying it's the actual link. It could potentially harm their relationship with food if they have low self-esteem and negative body image issues. They start taking control of what they put in their body. And so we get into the clinical terms here of these mental health disorders of anorexia and bulimia. So anorexia is when they start calorie intake control of how much they put into their body and they become very thin because they're losing a lot of weight. But in their minds, it's never thin enough. Right? And so it becomes a disorder when they're not eating healthy and they lose a lot of weight. They're losing hair. So what are they seeing somebody else in their reflection? They're not seeing perhaps because you see images of young... Social media models and whatnot. Yes, that's a part of it as well. I want to look like that. That's what they perceive as beauty. Don't forget the huge impact of social media on our youth and even the elders in terms of how they should be looking out there, how they present themselves. What is beauty? What is attractive? The expectation is on women as well, isn't it? I want a size 8 model. It puts pressure on women, doesn't it? Absolutely. That's a part of it as well. So you've got the anorexic end of the spectrum and the other is the disordered overeating and then vomiting. So this is a different type of control where you're overeating, you're binge eating. That's beyond comfort eating. Beyond comfort eating. It's okay to do comfort eating. You can have that pizza and wings once in a while. It's about moderation. You have that healthy food all week. Friday night, relax. That's fine. It's in moderation and you're hitting the gym next week. So it's fine. It's when it becomes a loss of control and I heard my clients describe to me that everything that I could find my hands on and it felt good at first but then I feel disgusting and I want it out of me. Gosh. So then they resort to that behaviour. What does that do on a physical level? Excessive vomiting, frequent vomiting? Well the acid can damage the inside of our body, the esabagus, the teeth. Of course there's a lot there. A lot of damage can occur there. But it's also the psychological damage here. So we've got a couple of minutes in terms of treatment. How you help clients. Are these treatable? Absolutely they can be. And it's a specialised area. So we have specialists in the area where we would refer clients to institutions, to programmes. There's a bit of a wait list sometimes. I know this in Canada, I'm not too sure here. But you can again access the Muslim Youth Helpline as a start and they can direct you to resources in your area here. There is treatment. Please don't lose hope there. Sometimes it's hard for you to admit that you are dealing with this issue. Because this is your way of managing your stress. There are much healthier ways of dealing with that. And sometimes you could be a recovered person dealing with these issues. But because another stressor comes into your life and I've seen that with people they will relapse. And so it's great when they come to get the support. They said I want to make sure that I have the support in place so I don't get to that dark place again. So it sounds like it's the catalyst for these kind of emotional which then the symptoms are showing that they go towards eating disorders. And next up we are actually going to be discussing smoking habits with Dr Yasamadhani. And again that's a stress reliever isn't it for a lot of people. But is this a similar thing with food that people it's the sort of maybe a stress fact that's got a catalyst to those conditions developing? Absolutely. Like we were saying with stress there's so many different ways that people exhibit it. Right? And so when you're dealing with the disordered eating body image issues self confidence and all the other things bullying, abuse and whatnot they're all interconnected. And it's the stress that could trigger the response to that. It's so unfortunate isn't it because I think with children especially when they go through schools and parents do everything right but what happens in their life is their own environment and we can teach them as much as we know but again those elements of support and understanding and again we haven't even touched on people recognising this and again as a specialist you probably would if you saw somebody quite under way with us you know we have this whole could be under way, over way, oh it's okay. Or they're just naturally thin right? And it comes down to the interesting conversation of and I've had this with my 8 year old when she was younger she one day she's very slim body type and I think this is a conversation we all need to have family, members and friends this conversation in particular where she out of the blue said I'm fat as a 6 year old that's quite shocked to hear that and like mama what do you mean by that? Oh I don't want to get fat I don't want to gain weight so this is modelled in front of her I don't know where because we embody healthy eating habits in my home and so we had the discussion where I explained to her and explained again recently to her fat is a positive thing fat is a good thing fat keeps our bones together keeps you alive there's nothing wrong with fat it's when you eat unhealthy and excessively that you gain weight that it becomes unhealthy so there's a difference between fat fat is a good thing we need it but it's the unhealthy habits the unhealthy eating that is the issue here so we need to have that conversation understanding around that because people are afraid of gaining fat and weight you need that fat to stay alive and it's shocking it's a 6 year old because I've heard from your experience you can share that but I don't know how many people are out there parents actually prepared that a passing comment with a child is something for you to trigger you thinking where did that come from and it needs to be dealt with immediately immediately because we want to develop that healthy relationship with food and understanding that food is great for you healthy food that is and balance and moderation to any parents out there any individuals you can get more information as you mentioned it's the Muslim health Muslim youth youth helpline we'll double check or sister Barakasyn is on social media I'm sure she's got a wealth of knowledge and not to inundate her but I will refer you to the appropriate specialist but it's really good to have that sometimes you hear parents talking they're very valid points so thank you so much I really enjoyed that session and inshallah we'll see you another morning inshallah and as I mentioned we have Ali and I are going to be speaking to Dr Yasamudhani and smoking it's been an interesting topic do join us


Welcome to Toffy TV, here is the match preview Everton vs West Ham United in the Carabaugh Cup fourth round, I believe. We can't go on our studio this week due to quarantine regulations, let me just say. So we're doing the show from our homes and there is Baz.  You looked... I was running up and down, Cubs, and that's all it is. Don't really, don't really. Warming up. Look very smart. We've had a raid on the club shop, don't we? West Ham United, obviously. This is a weird game, isn't it? Because we probably will put out a mixed team. It won't be asked starting 11. It'll be, you know, some of those players you've played in the last couple of games. Probably more of those players. And yet they might put out, you know, their strongest side for all we know. So it's difficult to know, isn't it? Which way this is going to go? Because who's got the full strength side? Yeah, it's obviously the first two rounds. We've been able to, we've had lower league opposition, and we've been able to use the players who are on the fringes of our team, and that's been good enough. Or be it, we did use Pickford, Calvert, Llywyn, Rathialys, and Michael Keane, who've been in our team anyway last week at Fleetwood. But this one's a step up again, isn't it? And it's a step up against the team that's won the last two games. Nine-one, you know, five-one against the last round, and then beat Wolves four-nil at the weekend. So it's going to be a tough game. It's a tricky game. But again, it's a game that I feel Everton can win. But it will be difficult trying to predict West Ham's team, because even just looking at their side last week, you know, in a supposedly lesser team for the players who haven't been playing, they still had Jarmalenko, Lanzini, Filippe Anderson, Seb Halle, Tiach Wilsius, Snodgras, you know, players who've all played for them in the Premier League. And then you're looking at them from the team, and be Wolves four-nil at the weekend. You know, none of those played. So that shows you that they do have a decent squad as well West Ham. So, you know, it'll be interesting, it'll be Seb Halle came on in school. But, you know, it is difficult to know what they'll do. But then again, for them, it'll be the same for us, won't it? They'll be looking and thinking, well, I'm going Everton, I've made 10 changes one week, eight or something the next or whatever. So, you know, what kind of line-up will Everton put out? And that'll be the million-dollar question, I guess. Yeah. I mean, I suppose before, the weekend's game for them, they would have been, or saying, we'd be looking at going up, this is a really, really good chance. But they've had a really good win over Wolves and West Ham will be approaching this game the same way we are and thinking, you know, getting to the latter stages of this tournament, we could win this. I mean, that's obviously the way we're thinking. And that'll be the way they're thinking. You know, you only need a couple of decent draws and suddenly you find yourself in the semi-fanner, don't you? So, I don't know what to expect from this game. Obviously, we're home, the conference is flying. We've, you know, it'll be interesting to see what the team starts. But you know, he's not going to start full, full strength. And then we've got the capacity to bring people on. Obviously, we've got Brighton home on Saturday, so there'll be no travelling involved, so I suppose that can come into the considerations. And then after this, it's international break as well, so I'm sure that'll come into the considerations. And then I think after this game, we haven't got another midweek game, I think, until December. So it's a good two months of only Saturday, and we'll see any weekend games as well. So it's such a big opportunity for us. You know, you look, I think there's already been something like six or seven Premier League teams that have gone out. This is a big trophy for us. We all know that we all want to win it. And these are the games you've got to win, aren't they? You know, your West Ham's at home. With the way we started this season, you'd expect us to win that, win this. It's not always the way it goes, but we can only have confidence that Carlo until after a team that he thinks is capable of beating West Ham. 100 per cent, I mean, if it was a league game, I'd be expecting us to win. I'll be in a tough game, I'd still be expecting us to beat them. And so that's the way we've got to look at it. Yes, obviously, for the Premier League, we'd have our full strength team, but who's to say eight of our full strength team won't play anyway, and he just says we'll look. Well, this was, if we had a Premier League match Wednesday night and a Premier League match Saturday before an international break, you'd expect the full strength team to start both games, injuries permitting. So it may be that the majority of our start on 11 begins against West Ham, and that might be the way that they look at it. But you're listening, Dominic Calder-Lewman played against Fleetwood last week when we all expected it to be Anthony Gordon, or Walcott, or Bernard and Moise Keane, didn't we? So, who's to say that that won't happen? And just touching on what you said there about it a great opportunity. Tottenham played Chelsea, so there's two big teams there. Brighton man United, United fortunate to win a Brighton this weekend in the league. Burnley man City, and then on Thursday night, you've got Liverpool v Arsenal. So there's a few big games there. Liverpool or Arsenal, one of them are out. Tottenham or Chelsea, one of them are out. So, you know, United, like I said, City, United away games. So you never know what happens there. So it's a great opportunity of everything could squeeze past West Ham and get into that quarter-final and then maybe get a home tie in that again. Then, you know, it's exciting. But we can obviously, we can only look ahead to this game.  Halle, he's got a couple of goals in this competition already, and then he's got one of the weekend against Wolves. He's got people like Philip Anderson, if he has it on his days, he could play in four-nil, and that's all. They've definitely got players who can hit us, but, you know, we're exactly the same for them. Yeah, they've obviously lost a couple of games and obviously won one in the Premier League now, but really convincingly won one in the Premier League. So they feel like they're up and running now. Nothing's lost. There's only three games into the season. They've obviously had the problems with David Moyes, the Covid situation. I'm sure he'll miss this game. He won't be there. Yeah, he will, yeah. They've had players out as well. So it hasn't been an ideal staffer. There hasn't been an ideal staffer off the pitch as well with players being sold and no one really come in. Sometimes that can bring a, you know, it's funny, isn't it? We go back to, say, 2004 and how, you know, Moyes has been through these kind of situations with Everton and that can galvanise a squad if you feel like everything's against you, even if you feel like the board's against you. That can galvanise, and that might be something David Moyes is using to bring these players together. And if the West Ham fans as well get brought together, because that's what I think, you know, when they had the problem with the player leaving for West Brom and, you know, players obviously, there was the scent and voices, the fans feel like the players are on their sides and that can bring everyone together, especially if it's against, like, the board, if it's a common threat, if it's, you know, it's... pantomime, villain's owner, you know, it doesn't really matter. That can galvanise a team, it can galvanise a squad at times, so I'm not taking this game, you know, lightly at all. I think it's a really big game for us. I think if we can get through this, we've got Brighton on Saturday and we've got the international break and it's the Derby, and you look at them and go, these are two big games, but if we can keep... you know, if we got out of these two games and we were unbeaten, you know, through to the next hand of the cup and it would just be an absolutely fantastic staff of the season and what you're relying on now is you're relying on those players who are fighting to get into the team, fighting for that opportunity to be part of it. The likes of someone like Bernard who didn't even get on on Saturday after having such a good game and a way to Fleetwood, obviously it was only Fleetwood, but you're looking for a reaction from those players. I suppose the... I suppose one of the interesting things I would say is the centre-back situation, because this is not a game I think you can risk playing Leucadine at centre-back. You know, I just don't think you can personally. So does he go for Michael Keane and yet he means, is that a position you think we're going to have to play our struggles to players without only two fit centre-backs? I would for this one and I've been low to do it so far. I don't think anybody would will be in by Wednesday. So therefore we'd have to play then. I don't... I'm like you, I think if they play Halle, which they may well do, because he's not been starting in the league, then he's a handful in the air anyway and I don't think you can just say that he's been a look after him and that we'll let Leucadine's sweep up. I wouldn't surprise me if Leucadine was sub for this game, to be honest. I think Uncuncwil will play. I think he touched on that at the weekend in his press conference. I think he more or less said Delf will start. Uncuncwil will start in this game and so there'll be... I imagine it'll be six, six, seven of the team that started the palace will start in this one. I understand with you. I think the centre-backs is not somewhere for this. Don't forget it's only one more game and then it's Brighton and then it's one game a week and the transfer window and I expect Everton will be doing their utmost to bring another centre-back in as well. So it's really just getting through this game and then obviously we've got Brighton at the weekend. If it was a league game we wouldn't even be having the conversation. We wouldn't be saying well he might play Dean there. So it's a Premier League opposition in a fourth round caribou cup home tie. So I think it will be meaner than Cain who started centre-back. I could see his playing seven or eight of that first team. I think he'll leave Arlen out for Delf. I think he'll leave Hamas Oedrigus out and he might leave Dean out and I think the rest will play. I think the rest will play maybe bar one. Even Sheamus. Maybe that might be the only other one. Maybe because John Joe has been doing all right. But I can't see. Like you just said, if it was a Premier League game you wouldn't make wholesale changes. So it's a Premier League game, isn't it? You're playing the Premier League team. This is a, you know, it's a one-off. We want to win three games. Three games you like from a cup final. We want to get to the final. So you've got to take it seriously now. When you look at the season you see it start and you go right. Only play two pre-season games and then you've got three Premier League games and three games in the week if you're lucky if you've got through. The first game, completely scratched side. Second game, a bit more integration. I think this one, being Westland I think there'll be a lot more integration. And I think, as I said, you're playing a home playing a home again on Saturday so there's not that travelling. So there's more rest opportunity as well. I can see him playing seven or eight. I really can. I could see him putting the cori in there in the centre of my field. Maybe Guilfee for Gomez but I think he'll keep most of that team if he's kind of alive.  And hopefully I don't want to say have a good run in the cup. It's not about having a good run in the cup. It's about winning the cup. It's about playing as simple as that. So hopefully that's what we can do. Be a tough game and hopefully we get through. Yeah, 100%. Like I said, they're dangerous. They've had two good results. The last week they've had two good results, five, one and four in the home. So it's up to us now to make sure and I'm sure we will, have the right attitude. Those lads are coming. If there's a few coming in, get in and take your opportunity and for the lads who have already been in for the league games and playing well, just keep doing what you're doing and hopefully we'll have enough quality and get through.  Definitely. Big game. It's a big game and it's been really good so far to use the squad. But I think this is the game now. We start looking at it as a serious competition to move forward. And hopefully, hopefully we'll get the win. There you go. A little bit different these shows at the moment just because we can't get into our studio but hopefully we'll be back in the studio sooner rather than later. Hopefully for Deadline Day next week. So there you go. Let us know your thoughts in the comments on the game. Do you expect us to win? Let us know. Subscribe if you haven't already.

Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It's a big day on FIFA Ultimate Team today because it is a voting day, SPC voting day, between two of the biggest voting cards. Basically, it's a showdown today, between two of the biggest cards that have gone head to head on an SPC vote for the Summer Heat promo to date. And that is Paul Pugba and Golo Kante. We're gonna talk about both of those cards today, what's gonna happen, depending on who wins, who doesn't win the vote today, and maybe talk about who I think's gonna win, what the SPC prices are going to look like, and also cover the content that came out yesterday and just talk about everything, because this bat is only for one week, and I'm gonna show you some stuff that's kind of interesting on this game that we can actually learn from. And it's honestly pointing towards more promos coming after Summer Heat. So that's kind of interesting. But again, the topic of discussion today is again, Paul Pugba versus and Golo Kante right now on this game. These two cards are facing off today, and the voting, technically the voting's been done already by most of you guys, but today is the day where we find out which card is gonna win. A lot of people won Kante. A lot of people won Paul Pugba. Is there a chance Kyle Walker could win? That would be insane if Kyle Walker would pull off this massive upset. But I honestly think it is Pugba and Kante who it's gonna come down to. And I think a lot of you guys have been telling me that Kante is gonna win because Kante is the highest rated card in the vote, but I don't know if you understand the power of a Manchester United badge and the power that that holds on this game. Just speaking to Manchester United really fast, we had a objective Daniel James and a Anthony Martial card released in season the milestone rewards for level 30. So there is plenty of Manchester United to go around. And honestly, both of those cards with link to a Pugba, this kind of makes me feel, maybe this is EA hinting at hey, Pugba's gonna win this vote. We're making the Pugba card. Let's throw out some other Manchester United stuff so that you kind of get sucked into doing all these things, get you into the game of FIFA and play the game for the objectives and then do the SBC for Pugba. Just a thought, not sure that it's gonna actually happen. But again, let's take a look at these two cards and possibly the upgrades that could be coming in today. Paul Pugba's highest version is a foot birthday item that is 92 rated with the five star, five star weak footed boost, six foot, three high, medium work rates. I have this card. I packed him in tradable. Yes, I'm very lucky. I semi-enjoyed this card. Semi-enjoyed this card. His body type in game is kind of interesting. He is currently in packs, I believe, as a part of batch three. I think Paul Pugba is in packs as a foot birthday card. Yes, he is still in packs in batch three after what EA did today. But this is his card again, his best version. If he does get an SBC today, I'm thinking it's gonna be a 95 or possibly a 96 rated card. And it's gonna be juiced. It's gonna be crazy if Paul Pugba does win. And this is my favorite to win today because he is Manchester United. He is Paul Pugba. Manchester United's been playing very well since the restart and since a lot of games have been being played. He's played pretty well. Manchester United's played it well. And we've had a lot of other United special cards. Kind of the Bruno Fernandez card has come out. That's kind of more hype along with the new Daniel James and the Anthony Martial. I think Pugba's gonna win today. What is this SBC gonna come down to pause-wise in the midst of things? Well, let's just talk about an SBC that came out like what? Last week, a week ago on Saturday, we got this SBC right here, which is right now 750,000 coins because SBC fodder is still low. Most SBC fodder is still low on the market. So this guy was around a million coins. The first day he came out is like 1.05 million coins. So it was around a mil, right? Requires 288 rated squads, I believe. And I think this is maybe an 86, 85, and an 84, or something like that. Basically it was around a million coins first day for Usman Dembele. Right now, SBC fodder prices are a little bit cheaper, but I think for this card, around a million coins would be a price range where EA could put this card and a lot of people would still do it. Again, if we look back at some of the SBCs that we've had for the summer heat vote winners, Roberto Firmino was like a 500K SBC and at the time that was actually kind of expensive compared to the other summer heat cards that we had gotten. Luki Jovic, 230K was kind of expensive compared to like the Endombele that we had had and the Parisich that we had had at that early stage of summer heat. Franck Ribéry, that's not a summer vote, but it was kind of more of an expensive SBC. You know, Leng Le was kind of expensive, but not like super duper cheap. And if they do release a Pogba today, I think there's one thing that you could count on. It's probably gonna have some 88 rated squads as a part of the squad billing challenge. Again, I think it's gonna be very similar to Usman Dembele. And again, if this doesn't have five squads, maybe it has six. So maybe they add a sixth squad on for Pogba, somewhere between like the 800K and 1.2 million coin range for Pogba is what I'm feeling today. We will see. Because again, SBC fodder is a bit cheaper than it was in the past couple of days, which I do think is a possible investment today, but it all depends again on the type of card that EA released for Pogba if they boost them up and if they make it cheap enough, right? So let's talk about Pogba right there. We've done that. Now let's look at Angolo Conte. So Angolo Conte, if he does win this vote today, is probably going to be 94 or 95 rated as well. I don't think they will have his summer heat card. It clips the team of the year. Because the team of the year, they don't even put these cards back into packs. This is like the most prestigious promotion that goes on during the year. This is the top dog Conte that we're gonna see. The team of the year cards really rarely get trumped. We did see it this year with De Bruyne and some of the other team of the seasons that were at the same level as the team of the year card or just a smidge better. But in this case, I don't think they will release if Conte does win. I think it'll be a 94 or 95 rated card as a center defensive mid, but that would be an SBC. I think that would be a bit cheaper than Pogba and I think a more comparable SBC or a Conte card if he ended up winning the vote would actually be the Franck Ribbari SBC starting off at around like 800,000 coins, day one, 700K. And then, you know, maybe somewhere for the Conte SBC would be somewhere between like 500K and like 800 to 900,000 coins. I know it's kind of a big range, but fodder is kind of low and I'm really curious to see how the fodder does impact, get impacted by these SBCs today. But that's my thought on who's gonna win between those. I feel like it's a 60, 40 shot Pogba wins, right? That's my personal opinion. Now looking at these special cards, right? This wrote to the final Conte is in packs right now, I think. Check on this for sure. It's kind of confusing what is all in packs right now. I will drop the link to the spreadsheet in the description below in this video. But this is the batch three cards that were released into packs today. And it kind of makes sense now. I remember we talked about it in yesterday's video. We thought we were gonna get the Tots pack, like the repeatable guaranteed team of the season upgrade pack today. That did not come. I don't think we're gonna get a top five league Tots repeatable upgrade. We're gonna have that guaranteed Tots player pack, which could, I guess, possibly come out today as well as the Pogba and Conte SBCs. But the reason why they don't have to signify a top five league Tots card is because they've only included a very select few of cards from the lower league team of the season. Air to Visit team of the season, you only have Zeeh, Promes, and Van de Beek, right? Let's look at Ligonos, Alex Teyes, Rafa, Gabrielle. Guys that invested in Pizzy today kinda got screwed, right? Luckily, the guys that I said was a decent buy, Paulinho, for CSL, Paulinho did actually get re-released. Hulk, Paulinho, and Jonathan, and Tashara, Alex Tashara. All those guys got re-released. Mitrovich Phillips and Ben Whiteman got re-released.  That is going to be very interesting for those Tots SBCs. And then also the fact that some foot birthdays are back in packs, Future Stars, Shape Shifters, Road to the Finals. Wait, do we have Shape Shifters? Yeah, Shape Shifters are back in packs. And then all the main league team of the season cards, it is actually kind of like a best of like, the best of best of. It's not just special cards that are specific to batch three. Some batch one and batch two cards that are all enveloped inside of batch three. So there's a lot of stuff in packs right now and there's a lot of upgrade packs that are actually pretty solid and they're actually paying out pretty well right now on this game. That is also making some interesting moves on the market. And again, one thing I did talk about yesterday was out of packs golds that were gonna be in packs today. Carlos Vela was one of those. This guy was 4,000 coins last night. I bought a couple of them. He is now upwards of 7,000 coins. I probably could have held on to him more, but I needed a clear space on my transfer list because I went three and a half million coins deep into SBC fodder in participation or in preparation for the Pogbus slash Conte SBC today. I bought the Screamet at 210,000 coins earlier today as well. That's the other thing that I wanna talk about is the price movements that happened on this market today. And my number one example is going to be a guy that I even, I think I talked about this guy in yesterday's video as well. Since there was panic selling already, I knew there was gonna be another little round of panic selling today and then a rebound. And this dude was the perfect. Wow, he's over 270 now. This guy was the perfect storm today. 275,000 coins for Jamie Vardy, who is now in packs, right? Check out this graph. This is the story of what happened a lot today with some of these cards. Vardy was 300,000 coins today before the content drop. Obviously got re-released back into packs. All of the saved packs were open within the first hour. He drops all the way down to 200,000 coins right in the six to 7 p.m. UK timeframe. People go and buy cards back to use for Weekend League and bang, he's back up to 270,000 coins. That actually happened a lot today. There was a lot of rebound on the market, which is what I expected. Some cards are kinda coming back down and I think there's gonna be more market movements that are gonna be trending downward today. I think you're gonna see people panic sell cards today. Look at this, Salah, 237,000, rebounded back up to 600K on the PlayStation where he currently is. So 530 back to 600K. So there was a lot of panic opening packs, extra supply coming to the market and then rebound later in the day today just because the fact that people need to buy their Weekend League teams, that they're buying these cards, they're using them. Some of the really top tier cards didn't move that much and actually one specific example, if we wanna look at one of these guys, but birthday Mbappe, who is not actually in packs, this guy was like 3.75 mil last week, 3.8 mil. He's up over 4 million coins now, 386 last night and then 38 all today and then boom. People buy up their Weekend League teams, he's up to 4 million coins. I expect all of this stuff to drop back down this weekend. I really do because two things, two things why I expect this market to come back down this weekend. Number one is the SBC coming today, Pugba Conte. A lot of people would love to do one of those SBCs, put that card in their club, build around it, build a team around it, right? They're both French. People that have a lot of summer heat cards that are French already from Objectives and from SBCs, that's just more incentive for people to do those SBCs. So either of those SBCs, whoever does end up winning today, I think you're gonna see some market moves today and some crashing on the market today because of those cards actually coming out. And the second thing is, again, we're still getting more SBCs. Today we got an awesome Vidal SBC with a huge boost. This guy's almost club 90. Really, really good looking card with, I think it requires two 86 rated squads, which is a little bit much for me, but the chemistry isn't that high so it's not that expensive. But bin is saying 250K for Vidal and fodder is a bit cheaper right now. So it's a kind of a weird situation where fodder has dropped in the past couple of hours because EA released all of these special cards back into packs and all of these packs were opened. And a lot of these special cards, Team of the Weeks, Man of the Matches, and here's an interesting situation today, right? What you don't see on my transfer list is some Bousquets. I bought some Gold Bousquets today. I bought them last night for 34 to 35,000 coins, right? Bousquets is now I think like 42,000 coins, but Bousquets is Tots card. The 93 rated Bousquets is also 45K. This card and this card are 3,000 coins apart from each other. It is crazy how much some of the out-of-packs fodder has risen. So if you were lucky and if you did invest in some of the stuff and it's not up yet, right? I've invested in fodder that is not up yet as well. I invested in some Cabanes. He's actually down a little bit. I invested in some Informs and some Future Stars. And this stuff is actually down a little bit in price. Mooney Ion, again, getting re-released back into packs. Scrinniar hasn't moved. Tejas, the Inform hasn't moved. A lot of these cards are kind of the same in price at the moment. A lot of these Golds too. De Bruyne is out of packs, but he's actually down 3,000 or 4,000 coins. If we get multiple 88 rated squads today for a Pogba or for a Kante, which I think would almost be guaranteed with the price that those SBCs should be, even a Salah as well, right? This guy's 40,000 coins right now. I was buying him for 43K last night. I think it's still even a better time to buy SBC fodder if you have not already, because I think there's gonna be such and just a point of pushing people towards SBCs in the next few days with the repeatable Tots pack that will come out and the Pogba slash the Kante, the Vidal that is in there right now. Of course, we have the Nilo SBC that I did today. We've got Rebic in here. The focus with the Kante and maybe the repeatable, these Tots guaranteed packs, there's a huge focus on SBCs right now. So if you bought 82s, 83s, 84s, any of you wanna buy more because they're still kinda cheap right now, right? If you still wanna buy some of these cards, be my guest because the big time pack supply came today on Friday. I was a bit scared of it, but the reason I think a lot of this went down was we didn't get multiple SBCs today. We didn't get anything repeatable. We didn't get anything that like, if that would have released that Tots pack today or yesterday, which I thought they were going to, that we would have seen a lot of this stuff rise. Some of the 84s I told you guys to buy, right? Moutinho was up 1,000 coins. Gundawan was 9K today. He's up 2,000 coins almost. So some of these cards did rise, but I think they're gonna go higher later this week. So I am not selling my fodder. In fact, if I wasn't gonna have to go on a sign, which I don't want to because I wanna do upgrade packs, I would buy more. I would buy more SBC fodder. If I could, 82s, 83s, 84s, stuff that is not risen, just take a look at graphs, look at prices and stuff like that. And then some of this 87 and 88 rated stuff too is getting kind of interesting again because like this Guerrero last night, bottom for 20K, Lozano bottom for 21K, Navas bottom for 20K. They're still around the same price, maybe one to two K lower. And a lot of these Tots cards that are in packs are just kind of now getting down to very cheap ranges. I think there's a possibility they pop up today because of the amount of demand for the Pogba or Kante SBC. But again, it just depends on what kind of content EA releases, the price of it, how good it is. And also the upgrade, right? It just all depends on a lot of things today. So we'll kind of be watching that. And I do think people will have to sell cards to go do Kante, do Pogba, whatever SBC comes out today. And if there is a repeatable Tots upgrade SBC, that's gonna cause people to push more cards out of their club as well. So if you have tradable cards in your club that you maybe bought yesterday and you're making coins on them, I would cash it out because I don't think we're done just yet with prices going lower. I fully expect to see basically all prices on the market lower than they were today, at some point in this next week because batch three is not a two week set. It is a only one week set, man. And I wanna show you that something is very, very interesting with all these objectives, right? Daniel James came out today, only available for seven days, right? These cards are only in packs for seven days. Why not two weeks? Go in here and look at squad building challenges. Look at all these SBCs. Vidal expires in seven days, right? The upgrades expire six days, however many hours. So Vidal will overlap one day. But basically all of the other SBCs that are inside here right now, even the prime icon, this SBC expires at the end of this promo on basically a week from Friday. So whatever is coming next Friday, there's gonna be something I think comes next Friday because batch three is gonna end and literally everything is gonna be gone except some overlapping summer heat SBCs, probably Pog borcante, obviously the Vidal that we have right here. But something I think is gonna be coming next week based on all of this stuff expiring next Friday. And I find that very, very interesting. But one thing a lot of people are gonna do this week is spam this upgrade pack right here. I did a bunch of these today on stream. I packed, I did 14 and I packed one tots or two team of the seasons I think. Oh, I packed two team of the seasons, I won a three.  It's a guaranteed like 90 plus card if you open the 84 plus packs, the 84 doubles that were from last week. If we get those SBCs re-released even for like 24 or a 48 hour period at some point this week, which I hope, EA Sports, if you're listening, please drop the 85, 92 and the 84 double plus.  You would see tons of stuff dropping because people would just want to buy upgrade packs. I think gold rares right now, which it's way easier to search for gold rares with these new filters by the way, shout out to EA, thank you. I think the like 900 to 1,000 coins right now for most gold rares, some of them, you know, from the off leagues are kind of cheap. But if you need 50 chem for the gold SBC, so I think a lot of the top five league rares are around like 900 coins and a lot of people are spamming these packs. So I'm surprised these aren't getting bought Insta, which it looks like some of them are. But you know, that's a very viable thing. I did 15 of them tonight, I think. I'm gonna be hammering these throughout the week this week because this is the time of the year, this week is our one week shot to pack a lot of these talents cards and get a second chance at packing them before we see what does happen after this. Now maybe save a few coins, all right? Maybe save a few coins for what could be coming after this promo. But at least for this next week, upgrade packs are gonna be your best friend and hopefully a lot more SBCs are coming out in this week of FIFA Ultimate Team. So if you enjoyed this video, smash the thumbs up on it. If you're voting for Pogba, vote. Tell me you got Pogba down below. If you voted for Kante, tell me you're rooting for Kante down below. And if there's anybody out there that voted Kyle Walker, you might be disappointed today, unfortunately. But you can comment down below as well. Just comment Kyle Walker or something, right? Subscribe to the channel for new. I think I already said that, but I will catch you guys in a video tomorrow. It's gonna be a fun day on the market. It's been Nate at The Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace.

My name is Sandhah Nin, and I am the author of Malignan Sertlavl, Narcissism Revisited. To describe his shattered, discontinuous and surreal existence, a narcissist wrote, I am often shocked when presented with incontrovertible evidence to an event in my past. Something I said, something I did, a person I knew, a sentence I have written. I do not remember having done or said or written what is attributed to me. I do not recall having met the person who claims to have met me, having felt anything, having been there. It's not that it looks alien to me as though it has happened to someone else. It's simply that I have no recollection whatsoever. When I try to remember, I draw a blank. Hence, my enormous and recurrent and terrifyingly helpless state of surprise. These cognitive distortions, these constant lapses of memory, are as close as I ever get to losing control. My orpavading terror is mixed with voyeuristic russination, through the writings, through the reconstructed utterances, through a careful study of what that other previous person has done, as said, has written.  I meet myself on numerous occasions, reflections in the shattered mirrors of my dysfunctional, selected memory. These frequent occurrences of dissociative amnesia, when I repress painful, irrelevant, useless. These are the fabric of the punctuated being that is I. But what are the rules determining this ruthless and automatic censorship? What governs the selection process? What events, what people, writings, thoughts, emotions and hopes are cast aside into my oblivion? And why do others etch themselves indelibly in my memory? Is the repository of my discarded reality, my true self, that dilapidated, immature, scared and atrophic little child? Is this inside me? Am I afraid to get in touch with memory itself, spun from the yarn of pains and disappointments past? In short, is this an emotional involvement prevention mechanism, as I call it? Am I afraid of the emotions which go with memory? On second thought, it's not. On introspection, I simply erase and atomize that which is no longer of use in the pursuit of narcissistic supply. I read books, I read magazines, web pages, research papers, official memoranda and daily papers. I then retain inaccessible noted memory, only the facts, the views, the news, the theories, the end the words that can help me to elicit narcissistic supply for others. Like the proverbial squirrel, I amass intellectual assets that yield the maximum astonishment, adulation and attention in my listeners. My audience matters, not me. All the rest I discard contemptuously, though by now, after decades of self-training unconsciously. I therefore rarely remember anything I read just minutes after having read it. I cannot recall movie plots, storylines or novels, a reasoned argument in the article, the history of nations, the things I myself have offered places I have been to as a tourist. No matter how many times I reread my own essays, I find them absolutely new. None of the sentences is recognizable to me, as though I had nothing to do with my own authorship. I then proceed to forget them instantly. Similarly, I alter my biography at will to suit the potential sources of narcissistic supply who happen to be listening to me. I say things not because I believe in them, nor because I know them to be true. In truth, I know very little and I am ignorant of much. I say things because I am desperately trying to impress, to provoke, some kind of response, to bask in the glow of affirmation, to extract applause, or all, or even not the right. Naturally, I very soon forget what I had said. Not the result of a coherent structure of deeply assimilated and integrated knowledge, not the outcome of a set of convictions, my utterances, my judgments, my opinions, my beliefs, wishes, plans, analysis, comments, and narratives are mere ephemeral improvisations. There is no thread connecting them. There is no me. Here today, gone tomorrow, and be known as to me. Before I meet someone, I learn everything I can about him. I then proceed to acquire superficial knowledge that is certain to create the impression of genius bordering on omniscience. If I am to let a politician from Turkey, whose hobby is farming, and is the author of books about ancient pottery, I will, while days and nights away, study Turkish history, ancient pottery, and farming. Not an hour after the meeting, having inspired awesome admiration in my new acquaintance, all the facts I have so meticulously memorized evaporate. Never to return. The original views I expressed so confidently vanish from my mind. I am preoccupied with my next prey, my next target, and with his or her predilections and interests I have moved on in the shifting gallery. My life is not a thread, it is a patchwork of chance encounters, a hazard exams, and the drive of narcissistic supply consumed. I truly feel like a series of steel frames, somehow improperly animated. I know the audience is there somewhere. I crave their adulation. I try to reach out to break the mould of the album of photographs that I had become, but to no avail. I am trapped in there forever, too dimensional. And if none of you chooses to inspect my image at a given moment, I fade in sepia colours like an old photograph, until I am no longer.


Are you in the mood for another generic post-apocalyptic film? Arcadian has you covered. Nicholas Cage stars in his 957th film, Arcadian.  Let's talk about it. Before I jump into the spoiler-free review, if you like movie reviews, commentary, rants, rows, everything movies all the time, I would love if you subscribed to the channel. And if you like this video, hit that like button. I think that helps in the algorithm. Sheila, is that helping the algorithm? Yeah, she's not answering me. Okay, let's continue. Let's start with the pros. Arcadian is an hour and a half long, which I absolutely love, because even a mediocre film can be elevated by the fact that it doesn't overstay its welcome. And good news, Arcadian is very much a mediocre film. In fact, I'm gonna go out and say it's a bad film. It was really funny watching Civil War and then going to Arcadian because both movies have a bit of a war thing going on at the beginning of the flick. So just contrasting the different directing style, the budget, the look, the feel, it's wild. Civil War incredibly beautiful, competently shot, executed really perfectly as far as filmmaking goes. And then Arcadian has this ugly, shaky cam that's just all over the place. And that's gonna be the template moving forward for Arcadian. Cage's character, Paul, is two twin boys, Joseph and Thomas. These are gonna be the protagonists of the film. Paul Cage, he's more of a background character who lets these two have a chance to flourish on their own. That was a mistake. That was a mistake. People are gonna go to this for a Nicholas Cage vehicle and they're gonna be disappointed by the fact that he's not in it near as much as they think. He has about 50% of the screen time in this thing. And I'm being generous there. It was also just bad casting, I think, to begin with. Nicholas Cage is supposed to be playing this hardened father who is raising these two boys in this world that's not fit for mankind anymore.  He's a wild card. He's really never saddled with kids. And when he is, he's certainly not a very good dad. So having him have to be this stern, tough, kind of Kyle Chandler-like character, if I could use an actor who would have worked better in this film, it just doesn't make sense. It doesn't work because he has these silly tics. And his cadence just doesn't work for the kind of guy that they're looking for in the script. So wildly miscast in my opinion. The boys themselves, they're serviceable. They're fine. One of them looks like Daniel Radcliffe. I kept making jokes with my buddy. We were the only two people in the film, of course. So I kept making little Harry Potter quips during the movie. Potion's class didn't train me for this one. These creatures are almost as scary as Professor Snape.  The film definitely keeps its promise, but what comes out at night is so freaking hilarious.  I couldn't help but laugh half the time these creatures were on screen. Listen, we're spoiler free here, but I have to point this out. There is an animation that takes place when these monsters get into the picture more where they look up and they go and their mouth, their jaw clicks like a billion times an hour.    They're going at its core. This is a YA film. It's a young adult film because we're going to spend time on the farmhouse with Cage and his two sons, but the older son is going to go up to this estate on the hill that's very peaceful, very pretty, also contains a militia in the background for some reason that's never really addressed and kind of comes out of nowhere, but the boy's going to fall in love with the girl up there. And so there's going to be that little romance going on and it's just so eye-rollingly bad. This film has some very terrible edits going on. It felt like it was probably a much longer movie, but they had to cut it for time. And so people and timelines appear to be warping constantly. Here's one example. At one point, the sun falls down into a trench and the dad has to go save him. The dad's way up high and the next thing you know, he's just down there fighting the beast with the sun. Just, he just warped. It didn't make any sense.  The lighting is atrocious during night scenes, especially down in the caves and whatnot. You are hard pressed to figure out what is happening. I know I couldn't. The sound design is fine. Again, the creatures are so comically dumb that it's hard to take any of it seriously. Music is there, kind of. The movie's very dull. It's just dull. It's kind of fun to laugh at how bad it gets at points and how comical some of the decisions are the characters make. But overall, this thing just has such a waste of time feel to it. Oh, I should also point out, and this is something I didn't know going in. It's a shutter flick. This is a shutter vehicle. Shutter is like the dollar store A24. They're trying to be A24, but they're not getting near as close as they should. So oftentimes, these films feel like cosplays of something much better. If you're a horror fan, hoping to get some scares out of this thing, I find that hard to believe. It's not scary. I will give it credit. There's only one jump scare in the whole film from what I can recall. And there is one scene. There's one specific moment that lasts for about two minutes that is kind of cool, where the creature extends its arm tendril thing and it keeps getting longer and longer. And I thought, that's slick. That looks like practical effects, and it's really selling it. I'm in. And this is one of the early scenes where we don't really know what this creature looks like. If it happened later on in the film, then it wouldn't have mattered at all. I would have laughed. But because it was early on, there was still some sort of disturbing hype build up to what these things could look like. It worked very well. I mentioned the shaky cam. It is freaking out of control in this film. It's all over the place. Monkey Man's shaky cam looks like it's on a tripod compared to this. So if you get a little queasy by the sudden jerkiness of the camera, yeah, you're going to not want to see this. You shouldn't see this anyways, because it's just not very good. This is maybe one to watch at home if you are truly bored. But I think there's better uses of your time. All right, let me know your thoughts on Arcadian. Clearly, I was not a fan. But let me know. Leave a comment. Please like the video. And again, subscribe if you haven't. I post movie reviews, content of all sorts of types for movies every single week on the channel. We'd love to have you stick around. All right, take care.


Goed, nou, we hebben dit model looked at the erect in the supine patient. But there's some problems because we send people in space and we notice what we explain now doesn't really happen. So what are the problems we're dealing with? We do notice that the GFR, the blood flow rate through the glomeruli increased by about 19% that gets a bit of a problem for us. Because the urinary output actually drops. Now we just said if you lie down your urinary output by the physiological methods that we mentioned should actually be going up and it actually decreases by quite a bit. There's no diuresis and there's no natriuresis. So where does this come from? Now there are a few confounding problems.  In other words they will restrict the fluid intake before they go up. They don't want that introduction of motion sickness is nauseous. There's various reasons why they do that. The urinary problems, although they can urinate in the space suit. Remember they'll be in a position lying down with the hips and the knees flexed by 90 degrees for up to two and a half hours even up to four hours before a launch can be aborted. So they don't want to urinate in the suit and there's a ability to do that. They don't want it in the fly dry. Even those that don't are not going to still see even those that take in normal amounts of fluid still see this urinary output decrease. So that's contrary to what we just said should happen physiologically at least if we look at what happens in the erect and supine positions. Another little problem just by the way to get a bit distracted is obviously there's a problem with the fly dry as well in as much as they will have volume at depletion and in an emergency if they do have to get up in a boat and get out quickly they will develop orthostatic hypertension as they try and get up quickly. Remember they carry a full space suit with all the life support systems which can be about 45 kilograms that they carry so that might be a problem with the fly dry. Anyway, even if they don't there seems to be still this decrease in urinary output. There's certainly no diuresis as we would expect there to be. We would expect there to be but there's none. There's no diuresis to drive this diuretic process and we actually we said well the ADH should go down but we see well this ADH actually goes up so what's going on here and the first levels go down. Now those two don't go together either. So say for instance you're in the desert and you've lost your way and you don't have enough water you are going to become thirsty. The hyposmolar nature of your plasma is going to drive the thirst and you're going to try and hold the urine back to maintain that. So your ADH is certainly going to go up but you're going to get thirsty. Now you don't get thirsty but your ADH goes up so those two don't go together at all and certainly there is definitely a decreased thirst in microgravity. And another thing that happens is that the insensible losses go down. Now we know when it gets cold in winter times you actually start urinating more. Some people actually have to get up at night urinating in winter time because they don't have the insensible losses so they have to excreted by the urine. So these two don't go together either. So how can we explain some of these things? Now remember there is this fluid redistribution. Certainly there is what's called the chicken leg or the bird leg and the puffy face syndrome. In other words they can be 10% of more decrease in the thigh volume so there is lots of interstitial volume definitely in the legs and volume in the basculature of the legs as well so the legs actually get thinner and anything above the level of the heart now remember there is a substantial amount of volume below there is more volume below then there is above the cardiac level but anyway you do get that redistribution in the puffy face so there is this fluid redistribution but it certainly doesn't have the effects One of the major things that was found was that there is a decrease in the interstitial pressure in the microgravity the chest cavity and abdominal cavity will expand so there is less of a pressure inside these two cavities In other words, I mean there are catheters that will play central venous catheters and we noticed that even though there is a larger volume that goes in the preload there is actually a decrease in central venous pressure so you go from one gene you go into zero gene with all that blood coming back to the heart there is actually a decrease in the central venous pressure and let's explain by this we think it's explained by this there is a decrease in the interstitial pressure as the chest cavity and the abdomen distends so there is trans vessel and trans cardiac pressures increase In other words, the pressure inside the vessel inside the heart and then the pressure inside the thoracic cavity because this drops down so much due to the expansion of the chest and there is more volume coming in here there is more pressure differential there which allows for this vessel distension and atria distension even more and hence the pressure falls there it doesn't increase as we think it does now we do think that the central blood volume there is a lot more volume inside the central blood system central area now central blood volume is increased and that is what drives down the thirst we know this because you can do experiments where the blood where the canis actually hyper osmola in the thirst level still go down we should go up remember the guy in the desert his thirst goes up because of that hyper osmolarity but even if you do that in zero gene increase in central blood volume will drive down the mechanisms that induce feeling of thirst now the ADH we should go down and this actually goes up now there is a bit of a problem here remember you go from one gene to zero gene very quickly there is no, it doesn't take days to happen it's within and there is a lot of stress effects on that launch and the G's that take place there so we think it's this increased stress effect that actually increases that ADH and not necessarily natural physiological effects just of the distribution of volume now there is initially an increase in this ATL and antiuretic peptide or factor but it's overwritten initially at least by this mechanism and eventually within a few days it starts falling so that drive for a possible diuresis just disappears so we maintain this issue of not diuresi so where does all this blood volume go where does all this plasma volume go there's actually up to 70% decrease in plasma volume in astronauts in microgravity or COG so where does all of this water now go it's not coming out by the urine the sensible losses is definitely down so where does it go well remember they do take in there is a decrease in thirst and there's definitely a decrease in fluid intake but what we do notice is that the total body water stays about the same now you might say well the puffiness there may be it's because it's indistributed in the extracellular space but certainly that appears not to be the case either as there are measurements to show that the extracellular volume also depletes so where does it go is the only place left for it to go is the intracellular capacity that increases so that water goes to the intracellular space so there is ionic issues with that specifically potassium we know there's not a sodium shift so there's a bit of potassium shift and we'll look at this a bit later there's a potassium shift and we'll look at that later but certainly increased intracellular capacity and we know there's an enormous intracellular volume capacity does exist now the one place where water doesn't accumulate is the red blood cell and the red blood cell mass actually goes down it goes down and there's definitely a decrease in the erithropotin EPO production so you don't make as much red blood cells for therefore the red blood cell mass goes down but there also seems to be a preferential destruction of younger red blood cells and they are large and they carry more volume in zero G so except for the red blood cells it's definitely increased in intracellular water accumulation so this picture looks a lot of encounter in two different what we would expect and then the pines and then astronauts things look a little bit different


Good morning everyone. Welcome to the September 11, 2018 City of Columbia Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. I'm Chuck Sallie and I serve as Chair of the Board and at this time I'd like to introduce other members of the Board. To my far left is Reggie McKnight, to my immediate left is Gene Deacons and then to my immediate right Josh Speed and followed by Gina Stevens and in the very end George Schaffer. I'd also like to introduce the staff that will assist the Board during the meeting, Rachel Bailey, the zoning administrator and Hope Hasty, the assistant zoning administrator. Also assisting today will be Andrea Wolfe, the land use coordinator. The Board is charged with hearing applications for special exceptions, variances and administrative appeals. Our testimony is recorded for the record and anyone wishing to speak will need to be sworn in and come to the podium to speak. No testimony may be taken from the floor. When you come to the podium please state your name and please speak clearly into the microphone. Because this meeting is being recorded applicants with cases before the Board are allotted a presentation time of 10 minutes. This time also includes all persons presenting information on behalf of the applicant. This time limit does not include any questions asked by the Board or staff regarding the case. Any member of the public may address the Board in intervals of three minutes or five minutes if your spokesman for an established body or group. The applicant then has five minutes for a buttle. The Board reserves time right to amend these limits on a case by case basis. Those of you who plan to speak must be sworn and if you are here as an applicant or here to speak in any case please stand at this time and raise your right hand. Do you affirm or attest that the testimony you will give today is the truth and nothing but the truth? This time I will turn the meeting over to Ms. Bailey. The Board of Zoning Appeals uses the consent agenda to approve routine matters by a single motion and vote. If a member of the Board or the general public wishes to excuse me, I'm losing my voice, wishes to discuss an item on the consent agenda they may request that it be removed from the agenda and considered during the regular agenda. The Board then approves the remaining consent agenda items. As the consent agenda today, we have the approval of the August 14th, 2018 minutes. We have item number two, case 2018-0067 at 2210 Wallace Street. This is a variance to lock coverage requirement for an addition to a single family residence. Item number three, case 2018-0068 at 2204 Sumter Street and 2128 Sumter. This is a special exception to lease remote parking for a physical fitness facility. Case number four, 2018-0069 at 522 Sims Avenue. This is a variance to the rear yard setback for a porch addition. Item number five, case 2018-0072 at 3300 Rosewood Drive. It's a special exception to expand the footprint of an existing school in a residential district. If anyone wishes to discuss any of the items on the consent agenda, please let us know now. Does anyone in the audience want any of these items removed from the consent agenda? Does anyone on the Board? In that case, I'll entertain a motion. Second. We have a motion. All in favor say aye. All opposed. The agenda passes. First item on the regular agenda is case number seven, 2018-0070 at 609 Sims Avenue. It's a variance to the front and side yard requirements for an accessory structure. I believe the applicant is here and they are welcome to come forward. Good morning. I'm William Reynolds and I own the property at 609 Sims Avenue along with my law partner. And we're seeking a variance to add a structure to cover three parking places in our parking areas. Handed out or I've given you some color photos that show the area in question. And if you'd allow me to orient you, north is sort of toward the top of the page here with Divine Street up in the right hand corner. 609, the building is the red brick building here. And we own the parking lot directly in front as well as the parking lot to the left, all the way up to Eggs Up Grill. And we are asking to have a covered structure for parking in the places where you see the little silver car against Eggs Up Grill, the back of the building there, for three reasons. Not only for shade, but you can also see this tree, not very well, but this blob right at the front of the property line is a tree about a 60 foot 40 to 60 foot maple that drips something every all year long, either sap or bird droppings or leaves. I'll also ask you to note that the Eggs Up Grill building goes all the way out to the property line. These little knee walls, the beige knee walls you see at our entrance is our property line. And we're really asking for two variances. One is a variance for the fire code section 17281, which requires that there be three to five foot separation between buildings. I'm assuming that that's for firefighters to enter a building, a burning building, get in but without having to tear the other building down. My assumption would be this would really not impede any kind of firefighting services because our structure really won't have any walls to it, just a roof. The second variance we're asking for is the probably the most problematic 17275 requiring a 25 foot setback from the front property line. Again you can see that our front property line is that the building in front of ours side property line. We don't have any alternative and that's the variance that we're asking for so that we can put the structure right up to the knee wall. It won't extend any closer to the street than the property that it's not attached to but abuts up to. And I can, I think you can see that it's aesthetically it's not any, with a tasteful structure, won't be any less pleasing to the eye than what we have right now. A flat wall with mechanicals and a service entrance in the back. Thank you. Bill, while you're there would you mind just just quickly going through, do you have your response, your application handy? Yes. Can we kind of just go through those six requirements specifically? I think you've addressed most of them and just wanted to make sure we had it in the record. Describe the extraordinary and exceptional conditions such as size, shape, topography, etc. that pertain to the subject property. I think you've explained about where the parking places are and the reason why you want the shelter there specifically and so there's really no other place to put them. There's really no alternative as you can see in the in the picture that what we're trying to do is protect those three parking spaces from things falling out of the tree and add a little shade to that area. It wouldn't make sense to put it anywhere else. I will say that the entrance to the right parking lot, if you're looking from the street, has a easement to get to the dumpster and so we can't put anything there that would obstruct that easement and this structure would be designed so it doesn't obstruct that easement. I'm assuming this is a freestanding four-column structure. Is that what it will be? It would be a freestanding. I wouldn't even call it temporary because they build it on site. They anchor it with the spiral kind of anchors so it doesn't blow away. It's a metal with a structure with a corrugated roof. We're looking at something. We're planning on putting a forest green cover to it which matches the Charleston green that eggs up has on their their structure which we want to add something to the neighborhood and you can see on your computer here that it's a lot like the structures in the picture. These are just samples. Describe how the conditions noted above tonight generally apply to other properties or structures in the vicinity. I'm not sure where oh okay. I think again if you look the residences are down Sims Avenue and if you look currently from your front window into our parking lot what you see is a big flat beige wall that's got it's not very pretty. It's got mechanicals on top of it and some they do the best they can but what you see is what you get and I think adding a little depth to to that wall would make it less obtrusive. And then the three describe the ways in which the application of the requirements the zoning orders effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the utilization of the subject property. We can't we we can't do what we want to if we use the 25 foot setback and we simply it's impossible that we wouldn't be able to to do that so. And then describe the ways in which granting of the variance will not be a substantial detriment to the adjacent property or to the public good additionally and what ways will granting the variance not harm the character of the district. And again our our purpose is not to put anything that would be obtrusive to the neighborhood it would be it would hopefully blend into the wall and make give it some depth and I think make it look a little bit better back there. Number five is this variance request a minimum necessary. Yes. I think that's been well stated and explain how your proposals in harmony with the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. Again the the what we're trying to do when we when we chose the the installer was we chose one that would not just put a silver roof on the thing the color actually you don't have the color chart but it's a forest green for the roof and with beige trim that we'll just go with the wall. I'm sure if your wife approved it it's going to look really nice. She did approve. Thank you very much. Is anyone here to speak in favor or against this application? Any questions from the board? I did want to clarify one thing it's actually a variance just a 17 281 281 is the accessory structure section of the code it pulls in the side yard requirements as well as restricts in the front yard so it all falls in under the same and I also just want to note we're not varying fire code we can only vary what's in the zoning code. Understood. Appreciate your bringing that up. Was there any other comments Rachel and the in your that we need to be aware of on the application? No but if you have any questions? I'd like to make a motion that we approve this request subject to staff comments in the application based on the testimony of the applicant and is also written application. We have a motion and a second all in favor say aye. Aye. All opposed. Thank you. And the agenda is item number eight. Case 2018 0071. This is for 3300 Rosewood 3226 Rosewood and 2115 South Rabineau. This is a variance to the off street parking requirement for an elementary school. I believe that applicant is here they're welcome to come forward. Good morning. My name is Doug Quackenbush with Quackenbush Architects where obviously the designer of this edition Rosewood Elementary. The project as you've seen in your materials is a new addition to replace the library that's currently at the school which is woefully undersized. This will be a very special clarification so that was the also the variance that we've already voted on in the consent agenda correct for the expansion. Yes. So specific to parking important to note that the library addition was cited to be both responsive to the internal needs and circulation of the school. The library location is very strategic but also to minimize any impacts to an historic school which we're adding on to the existing parking counts on site or 28 plus six 28 in the parking lighting question plus six parking spaces along the bus loop at the rear of the school. Our impacts reduced that 28 to 11 maintain the six and then we're adding 31 parking spaces on the adjoining property. That adjoining property has been owned by the district for several years but has not been developed into a proper parking lot she might say. We have vetted the parking numbers obviously with the school we're meeting all of the needs for staff and visitor parking with a proposed parking count of 48. So I'll stop there and entertain any questions. I just want to know a special exception was approved for that additional parking across the street in 2006. So why are we trying to why do we need to approve it again? That was a special exception to allow that parking in the residential district so and it's not a number but there are also on site spots that were already existing this is cutting into what was existing on site so their numbers as a whole are going down down got it. Would you mind do you have your application handing could you go through the criteria for us in your application? Sure beginning with which question one describe the extraordinary exceptional conditions that pertain to the subject property. Rosewood is a special exception to the RG2 zoning the school is historic has many site limitations for preventing it from adding additional parking beyond what we're applying for the school district has purchased this adjacent lot and this is the first time that it's being developed into legitimate parking that will serve the needs. And describe how the conditions noted above do not generally apply to other property or structures in the area. The other properties are residential in nature and obviously doesn't apply to a school. Number three describe the ways in which the application of the of the requirement of the zoning ordinance effectively prohibit or unreasonably restrict the utilization of the subject property. Rosewood is an historic school the placement of the addition has to be strategic for the reasons that I noted. And number four describe the ways in which granting all granting of the variance will not be a substantial detriment to adjacent property or to the good public good additionally and in what ways will the granting of the variance not harm the character of the district. As I mentioned we've surveyed the school to make sure that we're going to have adequate parking spaces for both staff and visitors that's a very predictable number as you can imagine and that's accommodated with a proposed number of parking spaces. Perfect and then five then the variance request minimum is the variance request a minimum necessary. Yes it is. Explain how your proposal is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the zoning ordinance that will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. We're certainly developing the new parcel into permanent parking respecting all of the current zoning regulations related to landscape it would be heavily buffered. It's already currently informally in use as a parking light anyway so those would be an enhancement to the neighborhood. Thank you very much. Is anyone else in the audience here to speak in favor against this application? Are there any questions from the board? I have a quick question. Recognizing that the parking lot redevelopment redevelopment will have to meet the all the city's land development regulations. What are you doing with your increase in stormwater on the property? I don't have my civil engineer here to answer that question. I'm sorry but I know it has been vetted by staff. I just don't have the answer. I didn't see it on the site plan but yeah I'm okay with it because I know that it will work out and it's just curious because it doesn't look like there's any room reserved for it and yeah it's going to be so. Is that detention in the back of that site plan or is that? Staff will be reviewing. That parking lot was approved in 06. It was just some of the conditions of that approval were not brought to what they were to be so with this it's plying back to that and pulling in. So staff has reviewed in 06 and will review again. And Gene my guess, I'm sorry Rachel, my guess now that I'm just thinking it through is that we do have underground detention for that. That's likely the solution. Just a thought. Yep. Any other questions from the board? I'd like to make a motion that we approve this request based on applicants testimony and is written application subject to any comments by staff. Second. A motion and second all in favor say aye. All opposed? Motion carries. We are adjourned early. I know right. Good luck man. Let me make a motion that we adjourn. I second. That was on the consent agenda.
