Welcome to another Deep Adaptation Q&A with me, Jim Bendell, and our guest this month, Skeena Rathor. Now, Skeena I met a couple of years ago. She is a founding member of the Climate and Ecological Campaign Organization Extinction Rebellion, within which she's a founder of their guardianship and visioning circle and has played a key role at the heart of Extinction Rebellion since it started, since it was being formed, and even before through her personal connections and work previously with the people involved in rising up. So, Skeena, thank you very much for joining a Deep Adaptation Q&A. Thank you for inviting me, Jim. So, I think what would be really, really good just for people who don't know too much about Extinction Rebellion, believe it or not there might be some, but also yourself and what really kind of motivates people to not just participate loosely but actually participate fully, full time at the heart of things like you've done now for two years, what motivates you. So, could you say something about how you got involved in Extinction Rebellion? What motivated you? What were the key moments perhaps? Yes, I can say lots, and I've tried not to say lots. You called us, by the way, you said we were a campaign but we're a movement. A movement, okay. I would like to emphasise a movement in the greatest scheme of things, right, in terms of we're moving into and with something quite spectacular, I think. How did I come about? Well, I think you know what happened, Jim, and what we want to share it is that, so my life was dedicated to really, to social justice issues as well as my professional work as a body, mind, heart teacher, and I arrived at your doorstep in Cumbria with an idea about writing, rewriting a leadership syllabus for the Labour Party, for women in leadership in the Labour Party, and the title of your 3-day event was the Poetics of Leadership, so there I was, ready to learn more about the Poetics of Stories of Leadership, and you dropped a bomb, right? Well, that's how it felt for me, and instead what happened for me was this huge emotional, physical experience, intellectual experience as well, in understanding where the climate science was in its reality and what that meant for my work as a campaigner, because I was involved with Rising Up and Compassionate Stroud, the Grandmothership, as a rebel maybe, or as an activist. It changed everything, changed everything. I've described it to people, like the day after I woke up after having my first child, and you wake up that first morning as a new mother, and you know nothing is ever going to be the same again, that you are in a completely new dawn, and that's how it felt listening to what you shared, and my friends Simon Bramwell and Gail Bradbrook, I knew were right at the edge of this, and I knew I had been avoiding conversation with them, because I had literally been canceling meeting them, and so then I came straight home to Stroud, and there I was in Gail's living room, saying what do we do, and she said what we know what to do, and we went forward from there, we went forward from there. Yeah. Yeah, so the emotions, if you take yourself back to years, the emotions were what, that what, when you were sitting there with Gail in the- shock, horror, I actually felt, you know, my belief system starting to crumble and collapse, despair, for I did a despair didn't last week at that point, I fall into it now, sometimes again, with the waves of despair, but it was shock, I was in deep shock, I was shaking for days, and I as a trauma therapist, I knew what that meant, I knew what to do with it, and that's, I sat with it, and transformed it, and I'm still transforming it, we all are, I know we are, yeah.  Such a privileged place, you know, and there are people in Stroud, the green movement in Stroud is so huge, enormous, very strong, I had been involved in transitions, I was a Green Party member before I became a Labour Party member, and so it was very easy for me to access empathy for what I was experiencing and what I was learning, and so a huge place of privilege. So did Gail and Simon try and calm you down with stories of we can fix this, and what was the response? Most certainly not, most certainly not, Gail, Gail was overjoyed, maybe that's the wrong word. At your shock. Well, in one sense she was, right, because she felt people weren't listening, and partly that Stroud had shut down to some of what she and Simon were saying, and she had been praying for, you know, connection, bridging, all of those things, and she felt that something had shifted with me turning up at her door is how she described it. Yeah, wow. So from all that experience, you bring that into your own personal experience, that emotional journey, how have you taken that experience forward so that both your own emotional journey, how you protest it, but also how you were held in that by Gail and Simon and others, how have you taken that into what you do in Extinction Rebellion, because there must have been so many times of really painful conversations within the mood. Really great question, and I feel it's a great question because actually it is about taking ourselves, isn't it, into truth and our pain and our grief and our sense of shock and despair and challenge and also what we dream of. I feel like that's exactly where this time is, what's calling us is to be our most authentic reality and share that with each other. So I think what I did and leaned into was at first creating ceremony and space for reflection, space for connecting with a more whole body, a more vast intelligence maybe, and I say that and it sounds like I hear myself saying that and implied in there some kind of something bigger or more important or expanded or better. And that isn't what I mean, what I mean is how, where we are, there's a dehumanizing aspect to what we bring in terms of our whole intelligence that has contributed or actually for me has been, is a root cause as to why we are in breakdown, while we are in multiple crisis and multiple collapse scenarios all over the world. And so my focus, my passion has been about creating space for new discovery, vision, vision articulation, the story of who we are and story of a becoming that we are longing for. And my way to then, well that's been my way of reckoning with the gruelling and horrific reality for our children and the children of all species, that they lost the grief, the trauma. Nevertheless with this outlook, you have worked full time in a movement which is about seeking to get societies to reduce carbon emissions, draw down carbon. So it's very much for you that, could you say why that's important and also where you can find a way of working on the other aspects of your truth which is the kind of the breakdowns that you anticipate or that you're seeing around you. So you, I think you said something about us being part of a movement that is, is being asking or talking about solutions and drawing down carbon and aspects of the truth. And you see, I don't, I don't, I don't see that so much if I'm honest. I don't, I see extinction rebellion saying to people there's this most enormous of emergencies. There's an existential threat to life on earth, including our own. And there are ways, there are things that need to be done urgently. But we think that, that's the solutions, the, the fix it nature of our paradigm is best left to a sentence assembly, left to making more democracy, left to reinventing a pillar of society around democracy. I don't think we've, we have spoken so much about what that looks like. I think we're operating, I'm personally operating in, in, in much trust around people as a part of a movement of movements discovering what's, what's needed and what's necessary together. I also think it's that that takes us down a well worn and threadbare track because I want much more from this. And I believe we need much more than solutions that, that draw down carbon, carbon sequestration or, you know, technological solutions or mitigation possibilities. I think there's something here around what I call our, our heart set, instead of a mindset that needs to transform itself. It's like, you know, when, when people are given a end of life diagnosis and or, or have a near death experience. And suddenly, the whole sense of what's, what it is to be alive is different. I think that's what we're in. I think we're, we're moving from the exoteric and this is an initiation into the esoteric and, and nothing for me, nothing less is going to do and it's not in a policy or a particular style of politicking or an economic restart. It's in shifting something much deeper in the human psyche. But is that, is that then why you are very interested in what's called decolonization? Does that connect then? Absolutely. I think the Enlightenment project, the, the colonial project, the project that the, the patriarchy over 5,000 years ago, birthed into being or what I call an obsessive patriarchy is, is, is where the conversation really needs to go or the inquiry really needs to go. And, and otherwise I think we're tweaking and fixing around systems and a culture that will take us to its death, regardless. And has that been clear in Extinction Rebellion until now, the depth of the critique that we are in this predicament because of these thousand years of, of the dominant culture of patriarchy? So I think we're really scared of talking about it. I know I have, I know in the face of our theory of change, our dominant theory of change, because actually we have an ecology of theories of change. I know in the face of, of the theory of change and the literature and the research that we have extrapolated and shared with the world that what I'm saying, doesn't really speak to that. And in some ways challenges that. And I know there hasn't been much space for looking beyond the, the strategy that we've employed in using Erica Chenoweth's work and Paul Ender's work and scientific research again. We're looking, you know, we've been looking for a formula. We, Gail and Roger talks, talk about codes for social change. Yeah. It's, it's again, in that, for me personally, it sits in the paradigm that we know to say that we think we, we, we know what social change is going to involve. And it's, it's the, the set of numbers and these set of numbers and these set of figures and this, this, this tactic and this strategy. And so it's, it's very difficult, but I'm ready. I'm ready not to be scared. I feel I'm, I'm personally in a place of self annihilation in terms of my old being. And I mean a pretty fearless state right now. And I want to talk about this much more. So a lot of people, when they hear this, like environmentalism relates to decolonization and anti-oppression or patriarchy. It can sound like a lot of big words to some people. Could you say very clearly, how does anti-patriarchy, anti-racism relate to the climate crisis and activism? So, so, so, I think the issue, Gem, is that it's not, it's not anti, it's not, it's not being in an anti science, like even rebellion, okay, I understand it's what puts people off is that it's still a reactive space. You're, you're in your resistance and in your no to something, which is really important, but it's only half of the story. And I think the reason, I think we are getting stuck again and again in the d-bit that the unseating and the unlearning, the disentangling, the deconstruction that is decolonization or anti-racism or anti-oppression work. And what I'm really excited and inspired by is that we move into speaking about what we want and describing and articulating in, in words, in, in our body, in our expressions of, of how we, we show up as humans. What, what the dream and the possibility that is the yes, that is what I call the co-liberation work right now, within extinction, but that's what, what we're calling it. It's, it's describing, there is that place of unlearning, but it's describing what, what the new learning might look like, where we, where do we begin to step into our powerfulness and a freedom from our oppression, our traumatized ways of operating, behaving, speaking, creating strategy, creating, you know, our plans that we do. How do we step into something that speaks to the most free, most beautiful, most true place in us and describes that. So what, what will co-liberation look like as a project or activity or message within extinction rebellion and from it? So the idea of co-liberation is that the fundamental understanding or I'd say the essence of, of the co-liberation peak, that the understanding that liberation can't be done individually and that individual solutions like me going on a decolonizing training or that individualizes the issue is, is so limited. The co-liberation understands that your safety depends on mine and mine on yours as does my flourishing. The liberation is never only one way or one group. It can't be done like that. And, and what the project is, is trying to grow and co-create is, well, our systemic agreements, the systemic commitments and systemic inquiry into, into liberation. So, so we would, we would do this, we would do the thing that's made self, the self-development, the self-care, the self, you know, all this, the, the attribution that we, we give to the self in the project that is humanity is, is, is shifted into a state of co-mutuality and a coexistence and interconnectedness. And one, I can give you examples. So, one example that we're trying to birth into within Extinction Rebellion is to say, in every team we would have a co-liberation tracker that sits us alongside the facilitator and is, is tracking the power dynamics in that group, where powerlessness and power meet in any group setting, where, where our trauma and both are, well, our trauma, our oppression plays out in power over and in power under, right, behaviors. And, and how is it that when we, we know we all want to expand our power as a group and as individually, how, how do we sit within that together? How do we become true to that? I like the emphasis on liberation because environment in previous decades in the west hasn't really talked like that. So, the first question is from Matt Osmond. Oh, hi Matt. Hi, Skina. Hi. And firstly, thanks. And as I said, I'd like to meet you here. And I, I think my first most powerfully connected with XR, when I met you at St Ethelburgers some time ago, and it was an event there called Sacred Rebellion. But what you really introduced us to was deep adaptation. And, and that was a real eye-opener for me. I'd already read deep adaptation and it had affected me, but how close it was to the birth of the movement. And ever since then, I felt like there's been this question. And if it's okay, I want to ask it in my way and then tell you how I heard it from someone else in this forum that really helped me. The question for me that was really encapsulated in what you presented that day was this dilemma about a movement that maybe with a kind of momentum, an unintended momentum keeps returning to an or else language. We've got 12 years left to save the world or else. And it's the same mold or else language. And it's like it's ringing more and more brittle. And, and I wonder how many people I know who really think, who really do sincerely believe and bless them if they do that we're going to turn the taps off and stop climate change, you know, that that is going to happen in time. This was such a personal question. And I'm really nervous in answering it because I'm concerned for GEM's feelings in my response and other people's feelings. I think the issue is that we, we herald scientific truth as the number, the priority truth as this as the truth that has a supremacy about it. And that's how I entered this, this field. So I get very confused about this because I was able to access this reality because I heard GEM presents some science. But I think there, there is the, is, is the challenge because if we do this because of, of the scientism, which I think is where we've, we've got stuck in humanity, if we do this, because GEM and others have said, look at the climate science. I don't think we'll do much that could enable humanity to become the, the most beautiful, force, most regenerative presence in the community of life that it can be. So I'm saying, I kind of agree with you that it can't be about saving and it can't be about mitigation or, or, or else and because we're terrified and we're going to die and our children are going to die and it has to come from somewhere else. And the, but the place I have huge trust in human hearts and the morality and the, and the love that emanates from human heartedness. So my, my wish would be to lift other truths up, to stand with the truth of the science and actually to give them more voice, more space and a chance to reckon with, with, with the paradigm that is, and, and let's, you know, again, I can bring this back to in the enlightenment project and the colonial project and, you know, everything that's emanated from there is, has been in this, in the mirror image, right? Of what's taken humanity off track, what's taken us into control and fixed behaviors and, and behaviors where we think we know what, what science is, we know because science is saying so. But what about what we know from all the other ways that we know as human beings? What about a much deeper knowing? What about the truth that is the immorality that there's more food waste than, than there are hungry people in this world? What about the fact that we, the so-called most civilized nation in the world, the USA, is where children can get shot in their school classrooms? Yeah. What about the fact that depression is about to become the number one illness in the world, according to the World Health Organization by 2040. Yeah. These are truths and, but they're not located in a, in a deft or definite science. There's something that shows the dehumanizing, the, the de-spiritualizing of who we are in those truths. And, and that's, I think, what we need to talk about. And I need to think, I think we need to talk much less about climate science and much less. And, and that's what I would be appealing to everybody for. Yeah. Really clear. Thank you, Skeena. Louis, you have a question on this too. Hi. Hi, Skeena. I think you've basically kind of done a lot of answering my question, which is to, to link back to what you said about obsessive patriarchy, the Enlightenment Project. For me, I'm sorry, I can see that capitalism, racism, colonialism, for me, my understanding is new, that it's part of the same thing. I think my question is about how much is XR too narrow? I mean, I think you're saying XR needs to get much bigger. Oh, we are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I think like everything, and, and, you know, Gem and Gail and Roger know this, that there's, there's a credibility, there's a way to access mass consciousness. And sadly, perhaps one of the most available ways is through science.  And it's not working. You know, I don't see, I don't see the kind of waking up that we talk about the, you know, the four hours of relinquishment and restoration and all those things that we know are part of, of the challenge. I don't, I don't see people really able to hear them. And so, because I think we're talking to the frontal lobes, we're talking to people frontal lobes, and that's huge, hugely limited, right? And we know all this. I know, Gem, you know all this. So, so for us, it's, the question is what you're saying is, how do we make meaning that people, that matters to people's hearts, where, where they can, they can find a relatedness to, to the reality that we, we are living in, in, through the deep adaptation forum. Graham. Hello. Skeena, I recently read a paper from a right-wing think tank in America. And let me assure everybody that is not my usual reading material. But sometimes it's interesting to see what other people with different views are thinking. And this was postulating that the right-wing party, particularly the Republicans post-Trump, could co-opt the climate agenda, could suddenly wake up, recognize that there's very little time left to do anything, and be very aggressively, very aggressively pursue that, that climate agenda, not bothering to be awake, not bothering about ideas like truth or justice or anything like that. And maybe that will get things to happen quickly. We already know the Chinese government and another dictatorial governments can make things happen quickly. Question for you is would you welcome such a move if it got action? Or do we have to wait until everybody is awake? All these problems you've spoken about that have been there since forever and not got solved. We have to wait till all those are solved. And then the change is introduced by the right people, correct people I should say, rather than the right people, right in two senses. I just want to make sure I understand your question. Are you asking me if it doesn't matter who makes the change? No, I'm asking you if people make the change for the wrong reasons and from perspectives that you and I might not agree with. Should we welcome that? Because it makes it happen and makes it happen more quickly even if a lot of rights and justice and truths are trampled in the process. Because we have so little time. Or do we have to wait until the right people, the correct people, the people we agree with maybe are in power and they can bring that change. Okay, so I think I'm hearing a binary here, right people, wrong people. And I don't really know how to be with binaries right now. And so I don't feel like I can answer this question eloquently. But I have a tiny go at saying, for me it's about us having communication with all people. And it's about how we would reach out to all political ideologies, all communities. How would we, how do we build deep collaboration? And this has been like at the heart of the visioning teams quest to build what we've termed deep collaboration as the vision for systems change and transformation of all the different kinds that we're seeking. And what we realized, what I realized after a year and a half of cycling constantly around this vision and this dreaming about collaboration is that it feels pretty much impossible when we are so separated in right and wrong, left and right, and, you know, good and bad. That, the divisions that exist right now, the separation story that that is, that's what we need to bring our attention to and our compassion and also our truth and our fierce demand for that separation story to come to its end, to come to its rightful end. And so, yeah, I think we need to go much deeper than who do we work with? And how do we work with them? It's, for me, it's how do we liberate ourselves enough for it to cascade and heal and reconcile, repair the relationships between the tribes that are humanity, in whichever way we've separated into, into tribes. Let's hear a question from Julian in Stroud. Hi, Julian, so nice to see you. Hi, Gina, great to see you too. Thank you for all of this really great stuff. Yeah, I mean, I think you hit it in one with your point about we need to change our heart set. And that clearly is where this has to come from.  I'm an environmental engineer. And I suppose my big turning point was when the water industry was privatized. I went into environmental engineering as an in-service profession. Well, not a hope in hell. Basically, it's almost impossible to work honestly in that sector. And I would say, you know, I'm rapidly concertinering this point because it's a huge and complex issue. But yeah, I mean, the damage that Margaret Thatcher did to our society through saying greed is good is profound and huge. The question to come to it is really exposing the complete antithesis of that point.  We've lost all the humus in our fields. And as a water engineer, I assure you, we can account for the vast bulk of all the climate change effects simply through farming practice in the Stroud area in summer months. And that ranges from temperature through to intensification of rainfall through to flood runoff. But my point is regarding the opposite of that. What's your question? Simply this, that there are many good climate exemplars within the sacred, regenerative and true vegan farming movements, where they all universally sequestrate carbon as soil humus, the complete opposite of what you saw around Stroud. And these all broadly work within these principles that the UN are increasingly pushing, the tree Eta Karana principles that come out of Bali, where historically Bali has a sacred agricultural system that again sequestrates carbon. Talking about carts and horses, basically the ethos has to come first. That's where we need to start. And so you're totally correct. It's as much a statement as a question. We need to apply the ethos before we can change this world with all its horrors back into a beautiful, safe world for us all to live in. I'll take that as a statement. What do you say to people that says that say this sounds too much like middle class people getting too self-involved when there's horrendous suffering right now because of the climate and ecological disaster and that this is turning inward when actually we should be mobilizing to try and do something about international suffering? What would I say to those people? I'd firstly say tell me more about that suffering because I don't think I've heard enough. I don't think I could possibly hear enough. I don't think we've heard enough. I think they're actually part of our psychosis and our narcissism. And I agree there's so much naval gazing and turning inwards is part of that. The thing that one of the things I think that has happened in terms of the consumption culture is the ability of the middle classes to switch off from the pain of others and come into a therapising about it and be endlessly lost in the self-therapising and I feel I actually get very frustrated and especially because that's been my work for 20 years when people are in process with their body, mind, heart and they are just circling. They are constantly circling, retraumatizing and circling and actually avoiding the pain and the suffering that you've just pointed to, Gem, not to feel it. I want to say to the middle classes, feel that pain, walk into that fire, walk into that fire that is showing itself to you and become debilitated in it, become horrified and despairing and aghast and become helpless in it, in the face of that pain become helpless and until you do, until you are able to sit in the fire of it, there is no, there is just this, there's just what we're in, where people who have the privilege to avoid the suffering constantly avoid the suffering and speak about it and circle with their peers around it. So I would say sorry to those people that you're speaking about. I am so sorry and I am so, my heart aches every day and sometimes I can't get out of bed because my heart is so sore, my chest is so heavy and then sometimes I can and I can activate something. Thank you. Question from Wendy. Hi, Skeena. In relation to what you were just saying actually about the people talking about the suffering and reading the news and knowing that it's a thing as someone who does a lot of work on the Facebook group, do you think there is a way of triggering people to have this realization that you had from James' conversation with you that I had from seeing the icebergs melting and realizing that they weren't coming back in our lifetimes or our grandchildren or great-grandchildren? Do you or the XR movement have a feeling for what it is? And I mean there's many things that I think it's quite personal but do you know of a way to actually push a button with someone? Have you used that on friends or people who you can't get through to this that blockage? So thank you. That's such an important question. So I think there's lots I don't know I think about this about how to press the button that resets something essentially in a human being and I think what happened for me is that I've got witnessed. I got witnessed by Rupert Reed who was there firstly he literally held me and I also got witnessed by Jem who was called out to speak to me and then I got witnessed as soon as I returned home by close friends that I trusted who could tell me I'm not going mad and I'm not shaking for no reason. I'm having an appropriate response. The dysregulation that occurs from receiving shocking news needs human holding. It needs belonging somewhere. People are quite right to avoid it. It's too overwhelming if that is not present in your life. I think human beings ultimately we are here to survive. We are here to allow for thriving and in our genius if we are told shocking information, information that threatens the lives of the ones we love if we don't have witnessing and holding and a community that can be with you in any questions that then need exploring and answering and activating then you know the best thing you can do is shut down. Of course it is so I think what I know is that somehow we have to build many more communities that have the capacity to witness and hold this story and that's what I'm interested in XR doing and becoming to spark and grow communities that can hold trauma and the landscape of emotions that will surface when we are presented with threat. Does that mean below the radar or do you engage the mass media? Because for me I chose not to engage mass media because of what you've just talked about. So for me there's no deliberate policy about engaging anyone, Gem, especially not mass media as a deliberate policy. But the thing, the beautiful thing here is that there are human beings involved in mass media and there are lots of people that we will naturally touch who will touch others and we can trust, I think I would like us to trust that we can reach mass media because we are in relationship with human beings. I didn't mean that Skeena, is this message is this message to go out through mass media to people who are unsupported? I didn't want to do that. So if I remember after my speech with XR Channel 4 news came up and I said no my message is worse than XRs and I don't want that to just land in people's living rooms unsupported. And so I've focused more on those networks of people and helping create the capacities for people to hold each other for when more people wake up to this. And that's been my aim for the last two years rather than the big advocacy piece because of what you've just talked about, how do you hold each other? You're really grateful for all of that work that you have committed to in holding the subtleties here. I completely agree and I stopped talking to the media too. But I don't think there's an absolutism here either. I think we can talk about this in a way that says look we think the most important thing people can do right now is to build community resilience in psychologically and physically and materially and all of the ways that community builds resilience. So I think we can have this conversation in a different way and like I say I'm no longer with the idea that we lead with the science. Okay I'm looking forward to what this means for XR in the future. Both what you've just described and what you've talked about with co-liberation. We've come to the end of the hour. Thank you Skeena and thank you everyone. And thank you Matthew for the time. Thank you to Jem. Thank you for all you're doing. Thank you Skeena. Bye-bye everyone. See you next month.


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We've got the full team of the year. We've got honorable mentions and now all the team of the year icons and packs and we've come to a conclusion, team of the years are basically impossible to pack. Now I know some of you guys that have packed them are like, no, Nate, it is possible. You can get them, but it's hard this year and it's also just, the pack weight is weird, right? Some days it seems better than others and the beginning of team of the year, it seemed really good. Now it seems to be not so good. I wanna talk about that today and of course with the upgrade packs expiring that we have been doing for a lot of these last couple of days, specifically the 75 plus and the 81 plus double, are these just gonna come back today or will EA drop some other upgrade packs out that maybe are better or maybe worse? We'll talk about that because it is an upgrade pack Monday and also speaking of upgrade packs, yesterday's 88 plus, again, the mid world cup and prime icon, as we see that basically the same one that they released last week, they released it again, but this time you can do it three times. I've already done it three times in yesterday's time span because we're crafting and opening a lot of packs because we're still trying to pack these almost impossible to attain at blues. But I'm talking about how that affected the market because price has reacted a lot of like we thought they would fire going up, some of the rest of the market dropping a bit. What's gonna happen today? We're gonna cover it. If you're excited for the video, hit the thumbs up, subscribe if you are new. Let's talk about these team of the years a little bit. I just wanna have a conversation because I feel like a lot of us just feel this way and we felt this way since like Thursday or Friday, it's hard to pack a team of the year this year and let's be honest, in general, it should be difficult because these are some of the best cards, especially this earlier on in the year. We're used to seeing stats like this in like team of the season, right? That's still like four or five months away, but here in January, team of the year, this is always a promo where everybody full sends but they full send because these cards are usually hard to pack and they're ones that you really wanna spend a lot of your effort to getting because they're worth it, but this year the pack weight just seems weird. It almost seems like sus at some level because team of the year messy right now is 5.2 million coins and 7 million on the PC. This guy was his cheapest day two. He was day one even. He was 3.8, 3.7 million coins that is absolute lowest day one, day two when the attackers were first in packs all by themselves and of course, common sense would tell us there's no way he's gonna be as cheapest then, right? Because there's gonna be more packs supply coming when the full team is out and when everybody opens their packs for the full team of the year, right? Well, that literally didn't happen for any of these cards. Most of these cards, except for some of the defenders where they're cheapest the first time they were put into packs, right? Like Jude, I think some of these guys did end up hitting their absolute lowest points on like Thursday, right? But we were expecting a lot bigger drops and a lot lower prices on a few of these cards and the pack weight is I think the biggest reason why these cards are as expensive as they are, right? I mean, even on the lightning rounds all the lightning rounds that we saw on Thursday and on Friday and even over the weekend Saturday, yesterday on Sunday these guys are just like really hard to pack this year which makes sense again in a clear point because they're team of the years and they're incredibly high rated but also I think last year spoiled us a little bit. I really think that it did because last year I mean, it wasn't easy to pack team of the years but I mean, I know guys last year that pack 12, 14 team of the year cards and a lot of duplicates with Don Aruma, Hakimi and Georginho, stuff like that, right? But still, this year that's like almost unheard of and these guys, if you hit one, like you win, you know? Like it's really, really hard to pack just one team of the year across the whole scheme of the game. So yeah, you know, you could kind of place the blame on EA sports and say, man, EA this pack weight maybe is a little bit dynamic and it's just weird, right? Also, we have to remember this is the first year of a new market with the Xbox and the PC. Sorry, Xbox and the PlayStation's together on one market. So that changes things as well. So it's really a learning experience but it's just so weird, right? Because last year with what we expected and what we saw this year, it's been a completely different story, especially with a lot of the cheapest prices for like the Messi and the Mbappe were day one which is really not what you ever expect. But regardless of the fact these guys are very difficult to pack, we are still chasing them down.  I feel like a lot of people are in that spot and they're just sharing the sentiment like, man, team of the year is, I had my shot, I opened my saved up packs and well, now we're here. Well, there's still upgrade packs out but if you've kind of distinguished or if you've extinguished all of your coins and now you're like, all right, I'm done. You know, I understand where you're at right now. At least EA has given us some opportunities to still go get some packs to replenish our club through objectives. And we gotta give kudos to where kudos is due because team of the year draft, the century of wins, the team of the year cup, all of these modes kind of like, again, it's like wins or wildcards, right? They gave us plenty of objectives via game modes to get packs and GGs to EA for that. So if you're kind of like down bad and your club is absolutely in the mud, if you haven't started on this stuff yet or if you haven't played a lot of these games or worked on these objectives, definitely go out and do some of that because that will help, right? Get your club back off the ground because like we said in yesterday's video, we have some pack coding. We may even have something coming really soon with future stars and that's not a promo that you really wanna sleep on as well because that's gonna be a really, really high promo for this game, especially because it's gonna include a swap program which we'll talk about a little bit more in this video too. But I just wanna talk about team of the year pack way because I mean, besides Erling Holland, a lot of these guys are just up, up and away. And I think what really happened with this Holland team of the year card and what's going on right now is honestly just like a price kind of reset because he was way too expensive to begin with. Now, he's 3.9 million coins. He's gonna reach a low point today, either early Monday at some time today, he's gonna reach a low point in the panic selling because a lot of people have been trying out this card. He's down almost a mil from where he was but he's also super rare. So you have to kind of keep that in mind but he's down a lot if you've been selling him off and I believe that this is probably more of a accurate price for him in the three mil range. He could keep falling further but he's gonna reach a low point and he's gonna bounce back because he's the 12th man. He's gonna be a bit more expensive and he probably should be as well just because he's the 12th man and a bit more rare. So just kind of keep that in mind. Watch that Holland price today if that's something you're very interested in because I think that'd be a card might be able to pick up today for a low price and see him rise back up throughout this week as we expect the market to probably rise up a good amount throughout the rest of this week as well. Now, let's talk about Monday content. Let's go straight to the point. Today's content on Monday as we said in the intro we have got two upgrade SBCs that are expiring the 75 plus player pick and 81 plus double upgrade. And we knew this, right? We knew this when they first dropped the SBCs last Monday that the league upgrades we're still gonna be here, right? These are not going away. Don't worry if your premium league won, premium LaLiga, which these seem to be the problem with the Packweight anyways, these are horrendous. I mean, they're just bad. I don't know what it is but that's just Packweight in general as we talked about. These are going away today. I really hope that EA Sports literally hit the refresh button and put these guys back in the game until Friday because these would be great SBCs to craft and even if you're kind of done trying to open packs for a team of the year, if you wanna set your sights on future stars, these would be great player picks and packs to save for that. But I do believe these will get replaced with something today. I don't think EA would just let us have the premium league specific and the regular league specific upgrades. I think they would give us something else but we'll just have to see. Of course, I'm gonna be doing a lot more upgrade packs throughout the week this week. I just ended up putting some more coins. I was down to about 45 packs and now I'm back up to about 91. I opened a lot of my big packs yesterday with the team of your icons being out. 83 times 10s have been absolutely abysmal. I opened my Centurions 100. It was bad, 83, 25, it was bad. So that's kind of where this kind of bad pack luck kind of stuff is coming from and we were talking about it in the stream. I know some of you guys, like we said, have had big polls, but it's just weird, right? And that's why I wanted to bring it to you guys today on the video once again. But let's talk more Monday content. We do have an 85 times three defender SBC that's going to refresh today. Of course, we had the 85 times three attacker SBC yesterday, which is definitely a bit overpriced, but I've seen people pack really big cards, including team of the years from that SBC. So don't just skip over it right away. If you're crafting upgrades this week and you have fodder, that's a good SBC to do. This one's coming back today. And again, guys, player SBCs right now, you already saw, I completed the Bore SBC, right? That was one that we had yesterday. It was a bit of a surprise. There was no leak for this SBC even and we're still wondering, where's the Recharleson? Where's the flashback, Giorginho? Well, last week we had flashback cards on Friday and Tuesday with the Ramos and then the Pogba. And then we had, of course, Friday again this week or a couple of days ago with Mane. So maybe Giorginho is Tuesday this week. Maybe it's today on Monday. Who really knows? Maybe the Recharleson. It's the only other leaked SBC that we have at the moment, the Recharleson that we was probably thinking was going to drop yesterday, but it didn't. That's the only other player SBC that could maybe come today, but last Monday we didn't get a player, so maybe we won't this week as well. But yesterday, the big SBC that everybody was doing and that affected the market was, well, these two, but the 88 plus mid prime or World Cup icon upgrade. You can do it three times and it's still an 83, 85 and 86 squad, which is actually very craftable, but you saw a lot of the fodder market as we expected move like crazy.  Remember, these 85s are down here at 10,000 coins. They spiked all the way to 14K where they still are. 86s though, I think 86s had the highest return investment because you were able to get these guys at about 14K, I believe, yeah, 14, 15,000 coins, right? But they went over 20,000 coins, some of them getting into SBC solutions and selling for even like 24, 25, 26,000 coins for some 86s yesterday at some points within that first hour of when the SBC was released and those spikes were so big all because this SBC you could do three times at once. My only slight complaint about this is that we wish we could maybe do it repeatable like as many times that we wanted or maybe like we could do it like twice a day or something like that for those of us that are still opening upgrade packs. Like I said, I already did all three of them in the first day, which is crazy, but it's just because we're opening so many upgrade packs and getting all that fodder. So if you still have fodder, you don't have to necessarily sell it right now. I think today the market's gonna rise on the fodder side of things, people get their rewards, they'll go out and even though they'll pack some of these cards, there'll be more demand to do SBCs than supply of these cards on the market coming in from weakening rewards getting paid out. So I would expect to see most of the fodder market actually go up today. None of it looks super duper low enough for me to really go in and invest in. In my opinion, maybe the 83s, if you think they're gonna go back above a thousand coins, which they could because the 85 times three defender pack is refreshing today and we still have some of those other SBCs with lower tier squads than them. Including the icon pack has an 83 squad in it. So maybe if you can get some 83s, it'll like, I don't know, 900, 950 coins, they could go back up to about 1.2, 1.3 maybe at some point, because they did spike yesterday, as you can see here. But we'll just have to see, it depends on what content that EA drop. But for the rest of the fodder, it's always a good time in general to sell fodder when you have a big SBC release like yesterday, when you were getting those crazy high sales on 86s, that's fine. 87s, some of them are selling at like 30,000 coins in the peak of the rise, like 32K for Fabinho, right? Like that is a really insane sell price, like go for that. Because a lot of those spikes you see in the first hour when a big SBC like an icon pack has dropped, that's an optimal time to sell fodder. Now, the reason that you could hold and wait is, okay, maybe Fabinho can get back to 32K or maybe even a little bit above that, later on this week, if EA continue to release SBCs like player SBCs, if they were to release another, like a hero pack or something like that because there's not as much supply, right? Think about it, all of the supply is kind of ended. It was all in the weekend, right? Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, people opening safe packs, especially yesterday was like the last day that maybe safe packs were being held, that's all done now, right? And a lot of your lightning rounds are gonna be done as well. EA will probably still run lightning rounds this week, which will keep fodder in check a little bit, but there's still gonna be demand there for people that are doing upgrade packs that have SBCs halfway done because a lot of the problem during teaming there as well is people do upgrade packs. Look at my SBCs right now. I'm two out of four in Mane, one out of six on Javi Alonso. I've started Hugo Sanchez and two out of seven on him. Now I know that I'm doing a lot more upgrade packs, but others may have started this like, oh crap, I'm one or two segments away from completing this SBC. Well, I gotta go out and buy the cars to do it now because I don't have the SBC fodder or I'm not opening any more packs. So there's still gonna be demand because there's so many SBCs that are out. I think that you can hold on to some fodder, like if you have the 90s and 91s, some of these guys actually went down yesterday because I think people were hoping that these cards would end up being required more for like an icon pack, but these guys ended up going down because I believe people saw the requirements and they're like, okay, there's no like big time squad in here and they sold some of these because there's no like 88 squad requirement or anything like that. But, you know, if you still have these, if you didn't sell like 76,000 coins, I still think you're gonna be okay because if I'm being honest, a lot of the people that were selling these were investors, they were selling these cards to go on a Ford fodder or to go and maybe take the money on their investment to go do the SBC or they were just scared and panic selling because the SBC didn't require what they thought it was going to because like this de Bruyne's not in packs. This drop off is purely from investors selling. There's no supply on the market right now as it is. So that's kind of why those cards are dropping. But if you have those, I'd probably still hold. They could easily go back up to 75, 76K like they were unless you sold already. You know, I think those cards can go back up and that's how I feel like a lot of the market is gonna be reacting this week as well, including the team of the years because they just seem to be so like unpackable. The fact that Benzema is 2.5 million coins. I mean, guys, it does seem a little bit expensive but also in one sense, it makes sense a little bit too because yeah, these guys are really, really elite. They're really hype. And if they are gonna be this rare, they are gonna maintain a pretty expensive price because a lot of people will wanna get them just because they're insane and because they're a team of the years. And that's a GG to EA for knowing their game well and making this work out well.  All I'm saying is I don't think that these guys can maintain these prices for months to come. I do believe that a guy like this Benzema you talk about after the Future Stars promo where some pretty cool cards are gonna be dropped. I know it's like, Nate, why would I sell a Benzema for a Future Stars card? It's like 92 rated. But remember that Ansu Fati from a couple years back in Future Stars or some of the other really expensive Future Stars we've had, they have affected team of the year prices because they're no longer the newest and most hyped cards when these other promos keep coming afterwards. So just be careful with these. If you wanna use them for your team, by all means go for it. I'm not telling you to not buy because I feel like a lot of people are looking for the lowest point and it seems to have passed. But these cards can continue to rise up during the week. I really believe this week of content's gonna be slow. And I think that's gonna help the market continue to rise up. If there are prices out there right now that you are looking at, that you see whether it's an out of packs card, whether it's an in packs card that you think is pretty low and you think could go back up. I mean, take an eye like look around the market and find some good prices because I believe that yesterday created an opportunity to buy some cards because we had that icon pack, right? We had that kind of coin drain SBC that caused some people to sell cards. Like this team that turned in Foden yesterday, I was looking just at his graph a minute ago. He was, even though we have Saka in the game, he was 320,000 coins yesterday. It looks like he's almost back to it but he was just an hour or two ago down to like 290,000 coins. So if you're looking to make coins on the market today, I still do believe we're gonna have ourselves a solid Monday morning market rise and if content today is just refreshed upgrade packs, nothing crazy at all. I believe that prices would probably keep going up on stuff that is meta that is popular and that is rare, right? Those are our three qualifications always for cards to continue to go up. So, you know, your winter wild cards, items that have been really, really inflated in price, they could go up a little bit further. Now be careful with a guy like Robertson, right? Because he's down and he's down because of the Cancelo that's in a team of the year, honorable mentions, but like, this Ben Yetter card, I know that people are completing in Bape player of the month but Ben Yetter has been dropping off all day. He was like 380, 390, all the way down to like 360, actually 350 where he is right now. So this would maybe be a card like if I could get a snipe at like 345 or something, I would be halfway interested in trying to trade with this today because he's a rare card. He could very easily go back up to 380K. You can see he is definitely a very rare card. Might have missed the opportunity to buy here. Maybe I can catch some bids that were listed beforehand but you know, that sort of thing, I think the content that we got yesterday and we talked about this in yesterday's video as well, it created an opportunity to buy some out of packs cards and maybe even some of the team that are honorable mentions from the promo team because of the content that was released. Now, speaking of some of the honorable mentions, a lot of these guys dropped off just a little bit yesterday, like, you know, 5%, I wouldn't even say 10% drop offs on a lot of these cards. Kudubali was around 430,000 coins and you know, now he's in like the 420K range. So these guys, the honorable mentions, they seem to have a decent amount of supply on the market but I'm not packing them. So I don't know who's packing them but besides like Bremer, Bremer is the only card that I've packed thus far and we're gonna continue to try throughout this week to get more and more but that's what's disappointing for me at the moment is just trying to pack some more blues, either it's honorable mentions or the real blues, preferably the real blues but you know, these guys did drop off a bit yesterday. I did pick up a cane at 290, I think that was a bit cheap. I mean, this guy was 340 for most of the day yesterday. I picked up a Kudubali in the low 400s, thought that was pretty good because these guys did get packed yesterday as people opened up their safe packs but also at the same time, they're in pretty high demand. Alfonso Davies yesterday, right at the content drop went down to like 270, he's back up a little bit and then kind of the same thing happened with the Team of Your Icons but also like not really. Team of Your Icons are a slight bit different because they're just a lot harder to pack in general. Some of those prices were like not affected at all. Like Dinho was still 11 mil, David Beckham is still 3.2 mil, Gerd Mulder is still about 1.5. You know, some of these guys dropped off a little bit yesterday, there really wasn't a lot of panic selling. You can see Gerd was like 1.65, went down to about 1.54, kind of between 1.5 in the middle and then 1.6. Other cards like Van Der Sar, who is 800k, yeah, he's now down to like 700,000 coins flat. You can see, right, 854, he went all the way to 660 and now he's kind of coming back up. These guys are gonna maintain their rarity but they're still in packs for the rest of this week which means there'll be a little bit of supply here and there. You'll see them popping up on the market and it doesn't mean their prices are done, dropping or rising yet. It's just kind of treated as like a normal promo team. Their cards are in packs so they could get supplied on any day where EA drops some SBCs that brings supply to the market. So that's kind of what's going on with the market right now. You know, the Mbappe situation is if you have a Golden Mbappe, do I expect Golden Mbappe to like maintain his price of 800,000 coins for like weeks to come? I doubt it because A, people are doing the play of the month just because they have a lot of fodder and B, it's a gold card, right? And Mbappe gold will be back in packs at the end of this week and of course we know what happens to the market, especially during the month of February and into March. There's always a big market crash like late February and in March. People think about full birthday and usually the post team of the year market rise kind of like kind of reach the tipping point then as EA is releasing these SBCs and there's something to panic about always during that time of the year. So we're not there yet by any means but I don't expect all prices right now in this game to continue going up for the rest of the year. It's definitely kind of more of a short term window where I feel like the market is, we've had a really nice bounce back, right?  Centurions to allow 1.15, right? Yeah, this guy was 800K in packs. Verati still 600,000 coins. Trent, it's 312, right? Neymar was 1.8, he's 2.3.  Jordy Alba is 132,000 coins. You look at the Windsor Wildcards promo team, right? You've got Kimmich with the links is definitely up. Veran is up, Benzema, St. Max.  So just kind of keep that in mind. It's safe to hold teams this week for sure unless EA drop of madness but that's kind of where we're at with the market in my opinion at this time. It's a really good market to trade in though if you find those fluctuations because a lot of people are not scared to buy and a lot of people have coins. So there's that. Last thing I wanna talk about today is future stars because last year at this exact time we actually had the future stars promo starting during team of the year, literally last year, right? I remember looking at this last year getting and trying to attain swap tokens while team of the year is out. Like we had team of the year challenge SBCs that gave out future stars swap tokens. And again, these are the rewards from last year and the reason why we're talking about this is because the card design has been officially added to the code. Here it is, future stars swaps token. It's not, I don't see it in the game searchable yet but it's probably gonna be in pretty soon if we're actually gonna get swaps pretty soon. So watch out for that. And the other thing I wanted to mention is we had our first reward for the swaps program that was leaked yesterday. And when we started getting rewards leaks that means we're not very far off at all. Now we didn't see that pack in the store that I thought we were gonna see that contains the swaps token but maybe as soon as early as today on Monday this could be something that EA try to swing the team of the year hype in their favor towards the next promo with a future star swap starting early. And this leak for a cutinio future star swap reward this has just got us kind of confused. It's lovely that we're gonna potentially get a nice cutinio card via the rewards for the swaps program but it's also like a head scratcher because this future stars promo is all based around you 23 players, right? That's literally what future stars is. And cutinio does definitely, definitely does not fit that bill but he was once I guess a wonder kid if you will. So maybe that's where they're getting this but nonetheless some version of cutinio whether it's a moments card whether it's a future stars whether it's a flashback is gonna be one of the rewards in the swaps program. So watch out for maybe some more leaks today about future star swaps. That could bring some excitement to objectives to grinding the gameplay modes or whatever it needs to be to get the swap tokens that could bring some hype to the game this week as well. Again, I don't know why that's gonna drop but it just seems like it would be pretty soon because we have those leaks starting and we have those card designs added. And like I said, we didn't see that store pack added but it was in the code, right? The New Year's star pack or whatever it was the New Year cheer pack went away yesterday. We had the essentials pack and of course a lot of lightning rounds but nothing super crazy in terms of the store packs yesterday at least form a perspective of the swap tokens for future stars. So that's kind of what's going on right now. I'm gonna be continuing to rip packs this week trying my best to get blues. I don't even have the team of the year counter up right now because we're at zero and I wanna get this to one and two, three, hopefully multiples on there so that it makes our grind worth it but that's what we're gonna be doing on stream this week. So if you wanna check us out, link down below is in the description but that's gonna be the Monday video for today guys. If you did enjoy it, smash the thumbs up, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Foot account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


I first got interested in music as a very, very small child, probably three years old. Always listening to radio as a kid, always listening to pop radio in the 60s, the Beatles, you know, the Monkeys, the Who, the Birds, all that kind of stuff. We're currently using the Artisan 100. This is my main workhorse for when I'm touring. It's one of the main amps that I use when I'm recording. It's been great. I've been using these for about four years now. The Artisan is really good. It's a very simple, two-volume bass, mid-treble. You know, the four voicings and, you know, the presence. It's very, very straightforward amp. I'm not a big fan of amps that have a lot of extra accessories and extra controls. Pretty much if you can't get it done with volume and free EQs, you should maybe not play guitar. I don't know what else I would do if I wanted a musician. I guess I went to university and studied to be an urban planner. So I guess maybe, I don't know, helping to develop cities. I've never had to find out what my alternate career would be. I've been very fortunate to have had a long career in music. Basically just hit a chord and went, wow, that sounds exactly like me. And it was literally that simple. So I haven't looked back since. It's a very flexible amp. It's good for all styles of louder guitar music. You know, I usually play in a three-piece, so it's a lot of carrying rhythm and lead parts together. The saturation and just the tightness of the low end with the black star. I can get a lot of clarity, leaving the high strings droning open. The voicing of the amp is really good for the kind of music that I make, which I guess is alternative music. The Art of Someone Hundred is a great amp. Best piece of advice I would give to a beginner is just you really have to put the time in. You may have to practice. It seems as time goes on and music changes and it always does change. You know, we go through phases where there's a lot of people who are into guitar music. Sometimes people are more into laptop music. When you're dealing with real instruments, you really, you know, it's rehearsal. You really have to spend a lot of time with your hands on the instrument every day. You don't want to get discouraged. Either we're taught or we read books about it or we emulate things by ear. You know, all of those ways are good, but you know, it's finding your style and finding how you express yourself and then putting in the time to practice the muscle memory. Keeping your gear in good shape, you know, always being ready. If you're a musician, it's always a good idea to have your stuff packed up and ready to go.


Hi guys, welcome to this channel. It's Meks from the Meks creation. Remember, it is summertime and it's really really very hot. Right now it is around 42 degrees centigrade. That's how it's very hot. That's how the different climate conditions we have when we come to these Gulf countries and definitely you only have to persevere and move with them and do whatever to see how you can protect yourself in one world. In today's video, I want to address my fellow friends or my fellow subscribers of people from Ghana. My Ghanaian friends, my Ghanaian followers, thank you so much. I appreciate it. Ghanaian people, thank you so much for the support. I like your comments. I like your energy. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Yes, I want to get to a comment of one of the subscribers that asked. I know most of you must be out there.  You're still stranded in one world with the other because of what either you have an offer later from the company and you've not received what you call the visa. You've not gotten what we call a visa until now. Yes, maybe they might be a technicality of the problem but I always keep on telling you still also that if you are in touch with that company, try always to be in touch with that company that gave you the offer later. Try once in a while to write a letter to them. Try to find out what is happening. Maybe they will always be updating you in one world or the other. Then also the Ghanaian friends or my Ghanaian followers, if you are still in Ghana and things are not moving alright, still you need to be a little bit patient. You need to be a little bit patient but you also need to be a little bit aggressive in any way. How do I mean aggressive? I'm not meaning you should get to the street to meet people. I do not mean you should get the street to maybe to stone or begin committing crime in one order but you should take also other options of how to see you can get out of yourself. How? By looking at what you call websites. Look at some website. Try to apply. Try to put in the CV. Try to put in the CV. Try to apply. You never know one day what what may lack as you waiting for the opportunities of recruitment agencies. I know recruitment agencies in Ghana a little bit very hard to have recruitment agencies because people are not some people recruitment agencies in Ghana are not very genuine. That's the information I have and I believe it too and people were not genuine. They definitely get to put out the work in one or the other. So if you feel this is not working I'm looking at now those people that have what you call Ofalita. If you already have Ofalita in company you've not gotten what you call a visa. What you can do you can still also try to get in applying other options like we have indeed. You can look at LinkedIn. We can look at the golf talents. We can look at those other websites. You can try to apply in dope in your CV. Remember try to make that CV that is the best selling CV. Look at look at goals such as these websites. Then go to the website career pages of those companies. Then try to put in. You never know what God has at hand in one or the other. Never never stop trying. Keep on trying in one or the other. Those that have not yet got you know the recruitment agencies right now with visas in Qatar. It's a little bit very complicated. Remember even when you talk about the work visas if you are going to come on what you call the world the visa visas also it's a little bit very complicated because for you to have a visa yes you may have a visa we ever at one or the other but still you may have what you call booking accommodation. You may also need to what book what you call health insurance to pay up health insurance that is going to cover you before they can approve your visa. That is all what is happening around the grub. Remember it's the superior period of what you call World Cup.  Then also I'll go again to my Ghanaian followers my Ghanaian people. I love you so much guys. Thank you so much for that support. You really give me that support and you really giving up the shout out. I'll shout out. I will not exclude anyone. I will not try to take anyone but I will say all the Ghanaian followers. Thank you so much. People from Nigeria. Thank you so much. People from Sierra Leone. Thank you so much. Wherever you are. If you follow and wherever you you're commenting from people from Nepal, Bangladesh, India. Guys I thank you so much. Now I still have to talk about the Ghanaian friends. If you're a Ghanaian friend and a subscriber you are in Qatar right now. Something that I need to advise you or something that still I need to let you know or something that I need to let you is you have a new offer. Yes you have a new offer from the new company. What are you going to do? Remember before you think because things are not all that going good right now even those that are applied approve are not yet. Your employer may abscond may try to abscond your approval because it does not want you to go. But remember when you have finished up with what you call your employment contract. Let's say for example you had two years and you've read the finish up with your two years. It's quite very different. Even the approval even in the ministry it will still move on and it will still be the same in one word. So definitely what do I ask kind of you is that if you think things are not going on well the Ghanaian people in Qatar you have what you call an association. I believe you have what you call a Ghanaian association. So what do you need to do as you? You can try to consult one of those people in that association especially if your employer is absconding you he does not want to approve your need to finish up the contract. Look at those go to that association there is a chairman in the Ghanaian association. I've not got in touch with him maybe someday sometime I'll try to get him and try to talk to him but you can try to reach out to him. He can be of beneficial. He can be a one people point to push you to another level that can help in another one. Otherwise but if you still you have some month to finish with your contract try to finish it before you can change such that you don't face hard holds in between or you don't coat up in between of the gaps. That's what I can tell you. I hope I've tried to share up something for Ghanaian people, for my Ghanaian subscribers and followers.
