Hey guys, it's Nate AK the foot accountant welcome back to the channel EA sports has gone wild with footies guys We have an insane amount of leaks to take a look at and we have an insane day of Friday footies ahead of us today Like some of these leaks. I'm sure some of you guys have seen them. These are like game breaking like Unbelievable types of players EA is just going all out for this last week of footies and I'm all for it So I want to take a look at everything that we could expect today from the game from summer swaps number two rewards to a 99 rated Veran to a potential name are or Alan st. Maximon footies SPC Yes, I'm saying those names and they are accurate according to the leaks Unbelievable I'm telling you it's crazy. So I'm not expecting all those SPCs today And that's why I want to break it down with you guys today But I do expect it to be a France based week. So a French Cup probably today a new dynamic duo We would assume we do not have a leak for that just yet But of course today is all about the SPCs the cards that are impacts batch three not changing But what I do expect with the batch three cards with all the insane content Is probably the prices to keep pushing lower as they have done in the past couple of hours and even in the past couple of Days as everybody continues to see like 2.5 mil for 9 9 Ronaldo 2.5 He was 3.5 yesterday and now he's 2.5 There's price drops happening everywhere because this insane content is coming out and everybody wants to get ready for it So we're gonna take a look at all that and more in today's video If you missed the most recent second upload I'll link that up We heard right now about FIFA 23 kind of deep dive into the chemistry situation and everything that we learned yesterday about that So make sure you check that out as well if you have not but if you're excited for summer swaps tour awards today and Footies once again hit the thumbs up on the video and subscribe if you are new Let's take a look starting off with some of these crazy leaks starting off with the SPC that we are most likely Going to see today now We thought that Usman the Bailey might be the winner of the vote because that is who foot sheriff tweeted out first yesterday He tweeted just a couple hours ago saying the final results of the vote are in and Raphael Varan is the number one winner So this is the card a 99 rated footies Varan is what we should be seeing today as our main premium footies SPC vote winner player Today on the game at 99 rated Varan. I mean this is a prediction This is not the exact stats of course per usual, but it will be 99 rated as per the votes That was what the whole vote was about So he had originally leaked earlier in the day that Usman then Bailey has won the vote And then instead he came out a little bit later and said that Varan Had actually won and then Bailey is not number one So, you know, it's a little bit of a mix-up, but I think that's who we expected to win Varan and then Bailey So probably Varan today and then then Bailey on Saturday unless his original leak is true and then Bailey Today, I'm really thinking that Varan is going to be today based off of what he posted right here So that's really big information. So French centerbacks are gonna be getting a makeover today Everybody's flashback Varan is gonna be put to rest as a new Varan will be coming in now How expensive is this card gonna be? Well, I mean a lot of us that use flashback Varan remember his SPC price back in what it was in January It's like 1.1 million coins You know the Laquat SPC that we just had was around like 80k was really really cheap You know some of your other top tier centerbacks that are on the game right now I mean, I think the most expensive center back that we still have on the market would be moments Maldini And that's just because he's a moment's icon still over 1.2 million coins I feel like that a Varan SPC today should it shouldn't really be anywhere above 750k, I mean it is the middle of August everything SPC wise has been pretty cheap except for the furlain mendee and the grease man and the grease man wasn't even that bad So apart from a furlain mendee, I really hope that Varan today is like 750k or less that would mean he's probably coming in somewhere around like It could be 10 squads. It really could be a 10 squad type of SPC today. Maybe a couple more than that. We'll have to see I Just think they can't make it super duper cheap But really, I guess they could because it is it is the end game And it seems like something has flipped the switch Eddie a sports and they're just gonna go all out So I'm not entirely sure what I'm gonna guess 750k That's my guess for a Varan like this Manchester United France Premier League You know, there's there's some potential potential overpricing that could happen there at that SPC But that is one that we I expect that to pretty much be a Confirmation of this card is coming today because foot sheriff leaked him Later and said that he has won the vote indeed So that's a really really big leak coming out for today Now, of course another leak that we have right now is Neymar and I can't even believe that I'm saying this Buddies SPC Neymar has been at it to come with position change and new Traits now. This is just something that I want to talk about now because if this is coming You really have to plan and we're gonna talk about this a little bit more You got to start planning what you're gonna do with your SPC fodder because not all of us have endless amounts of fodder on This game. I know it's really easy with 85 times 10s and upgrade packs and stuff It's really easy to get a lot of fodder right now If you have coins, but fodder is not necessarily endless and there are so many other great SPC's that are out I mean last week people were like, hey I'm gonna get my swaps packs today on Friday and I'm gonna go through Ferland Mendy Well, now you're gonna have a Ferland Mendy a Griezmann You're gonna have an Alan St. Maximon most likely and of Iran and then a Neymar upcoming and an Usman de Mele Like what that is literally just crazy. So Keep an eye out for this Neymar. There was a lot of leaks yesterday And I did not expect to see this many leaks I don't expect all these players today on Friday by any means, but I don't even know where to start to think Where would a Neymar footies SPC come in price point-wise? I would have to assume that it would be somewhere around the range of the Ferland Mendy SPC if not more expensive Neymar's team in season card is already down so much in price on the market He's under 400,000 coins, but think about a Central Neymar with new traits Maybe they're gonna add like the finesse shot trade or the flare passes trade or something like they've been adding to a lot of these cards recently But I mean imagine a plus two or a plus three on Neymar This is gonna be a disgusting cart and it's Neymar right and it's Neymar So, you know that has to be somewhere around the range of the Ferland Mendy SPC in my opinion So that's probably not coming today unless EA are truly going all out and releasing multiple players I would expect that to be somewhere along the lines of next week or on the weekend per se But just be careful with your fodder and that's why I'm talking about this leak so early in the video is because it's so very important to be Cognizant of what SPCs are out there which ones you want to prioritize first Which ones you'd rather try to craft later on knowing that we do have these leaks now The last leak that we have right now and this is not just a leak The foot sheriff has tweeted out which he did he tweeted out the st. Maximon five-star week foot boost and a new finesse shot trait as A France card coming pretty soon now Not only did he tweet this out EA sports posted the SBC on the little infographic in game This is a screenshot taken from in game. I saw this going around Twitter. It is legit It was there. It is no longer there as I'm filtering through my own game and see and it's not seeing it This a Alan St. Maximon as a left mid is also going to be dropping. I don't know when I'm assuming It's gonna be pretty soon. They've leaked SBCs like this in the menus before So really there's no question of there's no answer of when this could come out It's just a question of this EA sports want to drop it today with a veron Or was this supposed to come out yesterday on Thursday and they messed up. I don't know about that either So this is the furlough and many I Don't know like the link to furlough and many you've got st. Max you got furlough and many you've got Griezmann now You're gonna get Usman you're gonna get veron you can build an incredible team of just footies French players with this SBC coming out. So again, what I really expect today on the game is One SBC 100% I expect that is veron. I do think veron is gonna be today 99 rated now between Neymar between Alan St. Maximon. I do not know I would only count on veron today, but I do think that after seeing st. Maximon leaked in the menus that would give me a little bit more positivity or Confidence to say that he might be coming pretty soon. Maybe today. So watch out for that. But regardless that's massive That is huge. Seriously guys like all those players. It's it's almost just like Content overload even though it hasn't even dropped yet. It just seems like content overload based off of those leaks So that's just crazy. Now also today. We expect the France base objectives We do not have a leak right now for our next dynamic duo, which is a little bit interesting Hopefully we do get one because that would be very nice to get a French dynamic duo that we love Having this every week to grind. I haven't done all of them myself But you know, I've done a few and they've been pretty solid A lot of people have loved doing this even just for fodder and to get it This this game mode was really fun. By the way, Bundesliga breakout was the long shots game of W And then we don't have another any other objective players leaked as well This Casemiro expires today on Friday. And of course, we're looking for a brand new cup Now I finished the Bundesliga cup yesterday. We're hoping for a France cup today Get your France squads Ready because everything is pointing towards France and there's even another Yes, there is another France kind of based hint as I add Le Coitre to my team and also I notice I did I did pack shape ship their Conta yesterday little bit of dupe theory shout out EA sports after having 500-600 plus games in the team of the year best card in the game right here I can only imagine how the shape ship there is. It's a little bit of a flex. Sorry. I'll stop but With all of that France hype that is incoming There's one more pack actually that has been added to the code as well And this is where I want to start talking about swaps and about packs Because this was added to the code just a few hours ago and it's looking like we're getting another store Token pack today. Although it is fully untradable. It is going to be similar to the Brazil one now I said today I do expect this pack to be today since it's a token pack It's when the rewards are going to be released But if you remember during the Brazil week They did not release the Brazil pack in the store until like Monday or something like that So I don't know exactly if it's gonna be dropped today But I'm expecting it because that's when 99% of all the token packs have been dropped this year is on a promo Friday So untradable footies French pack three untradable gold rare French players rated 85 plus And then you get some alone icon moments and some lone tots or shape ship their players that are all France to help You out with that what we assume would be a French cup today based off of this pack and the vote And then of course these packs that have been added to the code are specifically related to the summer swaps to Rewards and again like we mentioned with all of the insane SBCs that are gonna be dropping on this game not to mention all of the you know Gamble and upgrade SBCs that you have like the footies batch three times ten You've got all these 94 plus shapeshifted player picks that are out stuff like that too the fodder packs today Are very very important to think about taking now I want to talk about fodder packs for a second because These rewards are dropping today batch three the cards that are in actual FIFA packs today are the exact same From the ones that we have had this last entire seven days It is the same batch three cards in packs through the rest of this week And basically entirely through the rest of footies because I believe that this is the last full seven days of the footies promo That's partially why EA is going all out But like I said with all these insane SBCs on the horizon I would be a fan of opening your fodder packs sooner rather than later To start working on those SBCs getting that craft done And especially while there are other special cards in packs I know today so many people are going to be interested in taking the Ben Yetter Bodies card as well this 98 rated Ben Yetter which will be 27 tokens Depending on how many tokens you have which I do believe if I take a look at the token tracker right now there have been a total of 27 tokens released which is if you have done all of them is enough to get this Ben Yetter now Of course, I would I would assume that there's this the store pack today. Maybe one or two other tokens max So we'll probably be at like 29 tokens in total after today's content drop I would still be in favor of taking the packs first again If you've done all the SBCs, you're like Nate I want Ben Yetter then go for it or if your whole entire goal of grinding swaps was to get Ben Yetter Then go for it But again with all of the great SBCs that are out whether you want to craft the footies Mendy whether you want to craft Griezmann whether it's you know You're gonna say fodder for when Neymar comes out whether you want to do Veran or the Usman Dembele or You know the Allen St. Max, but I can't believe I like still I'm naming off all these insane SBCs that are supposed to be coming Just I think the fodder packs are gonna be the play early And then if you want to try to grind for a Ben Yetter with the rest of your tokens or one of those shapeships or player picks or whatever It may be push that off a little bit till later because in the here and now with the SBCs that we look like we are getting They look ridiculous and I think that fodder would be very very well Used at the moment with all the SBCs that we have out So that would be my recommendation to you in terms of the summer swaps to Tokens and stuff that are gonna be coming out on the game today now Let's talk market a little bit because also, you know, we know that the hype is with the SBCs We know that the hype is with the objective and the cup and stuff like that a lot of SBCs today People are gonna have to go and buy fodder as well And as we take a look at fodder right now It is doing exactly what I thought it was gonna do last in last night's video We talked about 84 is probably dropping down a price once again. We have 84 rated cards folks We have them under 3000 coins in the low 3000 coin range, which is very very low for fodder And I just want to show you right now and then take a look at some of these prices that fodder is absolutely in the bin 84s 3k 83s are back down to 2000 coins 85s are 5k apiece and 86 is our 6 to 7k apiece Crazy prices on some of these cards as the top tier on fodder just continues to get smashed and to get lowered down And I even wonder if EA is like lowering the minimums on these price ranges. I don't think they are but like 88s for 8,000 coins. That's crazy So I do believe though that with all of the demand today if you think about it You might be like Nate people are gonna open their swaps pack today wouldn't fodder go down Well that fodder is untradable and if you think about all the SBC hype It's gonna be a 99 varan all the gamble packs like an 85 times 10 the footies times 10 batch 3 Still is probably gonna be refreshed today as well. I would imagine they might keep that in the SBC section. I think there's gonna be so much demand for fodder today and still not that much supply There might not be any lightning rounds run if in the second week two weeks ago in the second week of batch 2 They did not run any lightning rounds So they might take that same approach today and not supply the market tradable at all And I don't think there's as many saved up packs this last week So in my mind fodder is gonna stay low today until the content drop People are gonna open their swaps packs and then especially on the middle to lower tier I'm talking your 93s your 94s It is gonna start to go up because again, how are people doing SBCs right now? If we take a look at the Griezmann SBC like the 80 an 86 rated squad for Griezmann Let's see what the cheapest Solution is for this 52,000 coins. Look at this You've got a 94 and a 95 rated tops card and then like 81s 82s any threes Finishing out the rest of the squad. That's how people are doing SBCs right now for cheap is really cheap top tier player filling in the rest with really low tier fodder as it's been the past two Weeks, I really like the low tier for another club stock today for an investment pre 6 p.m Because I think after that everybody is gonna go into SBC mode and you're gonna see these prices go up on The game now during the weekend they could come back down maybe tonight on Friday into Saturday They could go back down a little bit because people are gonna be opening weekend league rewards and stuff like that There will be some supply on the weekend because people are playing week in league and you saw it yesterday with the Division rivals timeframe, which we talked about in last night's video as well Watch these guys, right? They a lot of them went down early in the morning with rivals rewards and then spiked at content like usual I mean Subitzer was 5k and now he's three and a half like crazy crazy low on some of these cards So, you know, do a club stock on these put a couple in your transfer list I think that's a great opportunity for making coins today or just to get ahead on SBCs with all the SBCs that are gonna be out It's a great opportunity to go ahead and do that also for batch three cards You know, look at these prices guys Like I just I showed you the Ronaldo at the beginning of the video at 2.6 2.5 million coins I mean this guy was four million coins. He wasn't even just 3.5 He was four million coins yesterday and now he is 2.6 mil some of these cards are still gonna fluctuate a bit on The market this morning with all the panic selling I mean Marcelo's 500k and Neymar is 390 with everybody panic selling because of the leak of his SBC Frank Ribéry who was 800,000 coins earlier in the week six 700k actually not quite 800k That was the weekend where he was 800 He is now 384,000 coins. You take a look to the beginning of yesterday. He was still 490k prices everywhere are just down horrendous with all of these leaks with all these rumors And it's the top tier cards that are down the most right content under a million coins, you know messes 1.5 Ginola is 1.5 as well All of these insane top tier cards just keep dropping because of the SBCs that are being leaked and and people are wanting to Go out and craft those cards because they're they're honestly a little bit better than some of these other shape Chipters that are the top tier in the game right now So I just think that even though the market seems so low and prices are down so much These guys if a Varan is dropped today if a Saint Max is dropped today because this is pretty convincing, right? This could I may would seem crazy for them to drop a Saint Max and the Varan on the same day But you know if if one or both of those Well, even if if the same Max is dropped today for real for real That's really gonna hurt a lot of the top tier attackers because a 5 star 5 star same max It's just gonna have so much hype So I just think that basically everything on the market is gonna go even lower today Unless you're gonna try to make a quick flip out of it I think people know that the footies cards are where the hype is Yes, there's people that are gonna go out and buy cards for week in league and stuff like that And you know, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't halfway interested in this nine and Ronaldo But he's a left mid, you know and stuff like that Well the messy shape ship their card only 1.5 million coins whenever Neymar comes out, you know There might be some fluctuation 1.5 3 like oh my gosh, man There might be some fluctuations with these cards that link to the SBCs I would watch your France cards today Especially the ones that are not in the batch at the moment a lot of people have been looking at like this Claude Maurice as a Out-of-pack shape shifter card that still has a lot of demand because he's not in packs And it's a French week on the upcoming Week of FIFA so you know, I would watch a lot of your French cards There could be some fluctuations down with panic and then rises back up But guys, I mean, let's be honest the content right now Just looks unbelievable in terms of some of these players I know that it's gonna be a bit expensive But with you know, the fodder being as low as it is those prices on those SBCs could probably be a bit cheaper as well And we've got the 82 plus and all the upgrade packs Still going through today into tomorrow and Saturday, so they're gonna be craftable It's just gonna be one heck of a Friday on FIFA with so much to do so much hype so much build up I was not expecting this last week not at all, but EA sports has They've done something crazy and with these leaks. I mean, I'm trying to get as much fodder as I can because I want to get These SBCs done and I am super excited for today. I do believe I have enough swap tokens Let me double check because I only had I was a couple short earlier in the week to get most of the fodder packs Let's see footy summer swaps number two. How many do I have I've got 10 there? 11 12. Okay, I got 14 so I can do all of them except for the 86 times 15 I believe because that's a 10 token pack and it's 21 tokens in total to get all of the fodder packs today so I'm probably gonna do the first four fodder packs and I look forward to crafting and doing a lot of SBCs today on the game because That's just gonna be what there's gonna be to do with insane cards drop So I'm hoping they drop st. Max today. I do expect them to drop Varan We'll see what the French cup looks like. Hopefully it's no daily limit or you know first two and then 10 games a day Something like bonus to a cup, but hopefully not super duper sweaty like we've seen some of the cups in the in the past It's just gonna be an insane Friday on FIFA if you're excited for today Make sure to the thumbs up on the video comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new We're gonna be looking at it all today at 6 p.m. Content on the twitch stream twitch.tv slash the foot account Make sure you check that link down below in description, but until then it has been Nathan for the count and I'll catch you guys later. Peace


Hello and welcome to the session. My name is Mansi and I am going to help you with the following question. The question says, find the derivative of 2 divided by x plus 1 minus x square divided by 3x minus 1. So let us start with a solution to this question. First of all we see that derivative with respect to x of fx minus gx is equal to derivative with respect to x of fx minus derivative with respect to x of gx. If we put fx to be equal to 2 divided by x plus 1 and gx to be equal to x square by 3x minus 1 and putting these values here we get d by dx of 2 by x plus 1 minus x square by 3x minus 1 is equal to d by dx of 2 by x plus 1 minus d by dx of x square by 3x minus 1. So now we find derivative with respect to x of this function then we find the derivative with respect to x of this function then we subtract. So let us find first of all d by dx of 2 by x plus 1 now applying the quotient rule we will have d by dx of 2 upon x plus 1 is equal to first of all the denominator function that is x plus 1 into d by dx of the numerator function that is 2 minus 2 into d by dx of the denominator function that is x plus 1 divided by square of denominator this is equal to x plus 1 into we know that derivative of a constant is 0 so multiplied by 0 minus 2 into d by dx of x plus 1 is 1 because dx by dx is 1 and d by dx of 1 being a constant is 0 so we have 2 into 1 divided by x plus 1 the whole square this will be equal to minus 2 divided by x plus 1 the whole square now we have to find out d by dx of the second function that is x square by 3x minus 1 again we apply the quotient rule we get first of all in the numerator we have the denominator function into d by dx of numerator function that is x square minus numerator function into d by dx of denominator function that is 3x minus 1 this whole divided by square of the denominator this is equal to 3x minus 1 into 2x minus x square into d by dx of 3x minus 1 is 3 so x square into 3 because derivative with respect to x of 3x is 3 and derivative with respect to x of 1 being a constant is 0 so we have x square into 3 divided by 3x minus 1 the whole square let us open the bracket we get 3 2's are 6x square minus 2x minus 3x square divided by 3x minus 1 the whole square this can be written as 6x square minus 3x square is 3x square minus 2x divided by 3x minus 1 the whole square therefore our answer to the question is this minus this that is minus 2 divided by x plus 1 the whole square minus x into 3x minus 2 divided by 3x minus 1 the whole square so this is our answer to the question I hope that you understood the question and enjoyed the session have a good day


This research has developed a novel approach to designing and constructing bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting. By creating heterogeneous interfaces between two different materials, the researchers were able to increase the number of electroactive sites on the catalyst surface and improve its performance. These results suggest that this method could be used to develop more efficient and cost-effective catalysts for water splitting applications.

Good morning, everybody. It's March 15th, 2022 when I'm filming this. It's a beautiful morning outside We're talking like minus two Celsius, which is what like 35 Fahrenheit somewhere in there It's right around the freezing point of water. Anyways Minus two and it's supposed to go above zero every single day this week Finally with the warm temperatures obviously come the mess, so it's going to be a very messy day I'm gonna make sure we have plenty of washer fluid We're gonna need it today is turning into an overnight I Have a trailer that's waiting for me up in Norway house, Manitoba This is further north than I have ever been in my own province of Manitoba The furthest north I've been and has been up to Gypsumville or st. Martin up on highway 6 That's only halfway to where we're going today. We're going all the way up highway 6 practically all the way to the end of the earth Halfway up the province to very close to where the road literally ends and there are no more roads going north There's a trailer up there, and we're gonna pull it back down here tomorrow But I have to be up there 9 a.m. Tomorrow to pick up this trailer.  So good thing. We're in the western star. The only thing is I wasn't prepared food wise I always have my bedding with me and everything I need for an overnight And I didn't bring socks extra socks. I know drop the ball trucker Josh I took all my socks out of my bag to wash them so that they were they were all clean, right? I forgot to put an extra pair back in so You know what you you know exactly where we are right now Not a Timmy snow, but that's a good idea. Maybe we should stop by there Walmart I Need to pick up a sheet for this bed too because in my shop you'll notice that I have that red sheet Over that table that I have in there temporarily acting as a tablecloth So I don't get grease and dirt and filth on that table But that was the sheet from the truck it had a hole in it anyway, so I needed a new one anyways So we're gonna go to Walmart. We're gonna get a new sheet for the bed here some socks and food I have a fridge here. I turned it on as soon as I Realized we're going up north so it's cooling off right now we're gonna get some food for tonight and tomorrow and Then we'll start making our way up the great Manitoba Highway 6 Better be careful when we're up there. We don't want to encounter any polar bears or anything. I Don't think polar bears are that far south We do have polar bears in Manitoba, but they're further north in Churchill and I can't get there by road Actually this time of year. I probably could there's ice roads and winter roads going up there Most of the year you have to take rail or fly into Churchill and that's a town up in northern Manitoba That's famous for polar bears if you want to see polar bears they do tours up there I'm gonna shout out my province here a little bit you go up to Churchill Manitoba. They do polar bear tours At least they did I'm assuming they got those going again. They probably stopped for a while because of the whole COVID thing but Guessing that they're on board now today when I'm filming this is March 15th So all of our mandates are dropped in our province today. So officially today. We're back to normal At least legally back to normal. Everyone still has the option if they want to But yeah, all the signs I've been noticing everywhere. I go all the signs for like masks and stuff. They've all come down So that's it's good positive move forward. I think so maybe the the polar bear tours up north are going again You guys want to go check out the polar bears go check out and check them out and support my province We don't got much going for us, but we got our polar bears. I Literally washed this truck last night. It was sparkling clean this morning All you can do is keep trying right at least we don't have yesterday's dirt on here This is all today's dirt. This is all just from this morning Man there you go. There's another thumbnail for you All right, we're all filled up with food got my bed set up there got a new sheet for this bed It's rock and roll. Let's take this down. It's gonna slide down. Let's put that there Everything else is in its place as it should be We got snacks we got food we got something to drink We just need to get fuel yet. I'm at like three-quarter tank, but I'm going way up north and I don't know what's up there I don't know where the fuel stops are So I'm gonna go and fuel up before we leave the Winnipeg area here. I See you there. I got mirrors There's one more car coming out for this guy Yeah Isn't tight. Thank you. Oh Oh didn't see that common. Oh speed bump the good thing. We weren't spading We're in the southwest corner of Winnipeg right now. This is McGilvery just up here I'm gonna take McGilvery to the West perimeter and take the West perimeter up to Headingley where we're gonna fuel up I'm pretty sure there's probably petrol pass fueling stations up highway six, I'm pretty sure of it I just I just don't know for sure, you know Grab fuel to petrol pass on the north side of Winnipeg on route 90 instead for those of you familiar with the city It's this little congested truck stop here. That's always jam-packed and people always park in the no parking zones Like this guy is here. I gotta figure out a way of getting out of here Now it's supposed to park in the driveway, but people always do No way to get out of here except through that little driveway right there just rolled through Pine Moontang First Nation and Gypsumville is right down the road here or around the corner and that's the furthest north I've ever been in my home province You know, I got all excited before and I just realized I have been this far north once or twice This is highway 60 it goes to the paw I have gone up highway six and turned on to the 60 before so now Now we've officially Entered uncharted territory. Okay. It was a false alarm before false alarm Now I'm officially further north than I ever have been in the province If I do false alarms, we'll see what happens for the rest of the evening, but I'm pretty sure this is it We still got about five hours left to go just under Sure gets dark up here Wow You can't see anything YouTube is not very good with low light. So even when I Even when I show you guys something that I can see Nicely in the back of my camera for some reason when you upload on to YouTube it darkens everything and when you try to brighten it It ruins it. So there's something in the upload process or something That sort of makes low light situations on YouTube tough to tough to share But I did find out some interesting information My mom has some friends up here and I'd let mom and dad know that I was going up the Norway house I like letting people know where I'm going especially when I'm going somewhere new and somewhere far north or something Some were very secluded. I'll tell my wife where I'm going I'll tell my parents where I'm going just so that people know where I'll be just in case, you know and She messages me Yesterday because this is the next morning already. I already slept. I just woke up as you can tell And she said oh You have to cross an ice road to get to Norway house What? No, I said anything about an ice road. There's a bridge. I'm pretty sure there's a bridge I don't got an ice road and I look at the map and it says there's a ferry.  It's a cable ferry It's about a half-kilometer Stretch like a river that we got to cross over. Oh, there's a cable ferry. I don't know if it's an ice road I look more into it in a research. Oh The cable ferries closed for winter It's an ice road So I'm going to be crossing over the ice In my truck and then on the way back with a loaded trailer for the first time ever And I'm a little nervous I'm gonna continue this vlog now Time is not 6 30 a 6 45 in the morning It'll probably be light by the time I get there, but like I said these low light situations on YouTube make it very difficult to share things So by the time we leave Norway house and tomorrow's vlog It'll definitely be light out and I'll be able to show you a little bit of ice road trucking if we're lucky we'll get into this vlog today yet But we'll see what happens when we get there. I'm kind of hoping the Sun will be up That's why I slept on this side of the river I was gonna go straight to my customer in Norway house and sleep there overnight But once I found out that there was an ice crossing. I'm like, yeah, I Know on the website it says is like it's probably better to cross at night because it's colder The ice gets thicker I guess but I've never crossed the ice before and I don't want to get lost and I don't want to do it at night my first time I'm a little nervous So we're gonna go there now We know the first thing in the morning crossover we bob tailing with no trailer first so that's okay and On the way back we'll have a loaded trailer on the ice Over a rushing river well not a rushing river if it was a rushing river it wouldn't freeze over but it's like I think it's the Nelson River What river is it that we're crossing? Because we're way up north here. I have never been this far north in Manitoba in my life We got a crossover What is this here? Just looking on the map. I'll show it to you on the map here as well Josh remember to go and put the map on there for the good people So they can see what I'm talking about. Ah, here we go Remember to put the map up here Josh Okay, so we're crossing Right here What is this? Is this a river? Some kind of river doesn't stop telling me here Maybe you guys can see it on my screen here that I'm looking at it's not telling me what river that is but Yeah, usually it's called the Ross Island ferry it goes I guess from Ross Island to Norway house And I don't know why it's called Norway house. I don't I believe it's a First Nations reserve. I Don't think it's a Norwegian settlement, but it's called Norway house All right. Well, I don't know what it's called, but we got to go over the water Let's go out here. There's a Timmy's on the way. So at least we get some Timmy's Course, there's a Timmy's on the way or in the middle of nowhere. Northern Manitoba. Of course, there's a Timmy's Little bit of a narrow bridge. Oh Man this road is so rough coming up here Seriously all the way up All the way up from the Winnipeg perimeter all the way up the Norway house the road is just terrible We're getting close to the ice crossing now There's a sign coming up here reduced speed ahead What is this a Norway house ferry one kilometer? Except from what I hear the ferry Isn't operating right now. We got to drive across the ice ourselves Okay Detour ahead All right detour means going over the ice. Let's clean our window here so we can see what we're doing I'm gonna lie. I'm a little nervous. I've never crossed ice before There's the river right there. We got to drive across it. You guys ready? Sorry Google ferries closed We are driving across the river here I'm sure it's not gonna be as freaky as I'm making it out to be in my mind right now, but You know, there's a first for everything Status is open maximum weight of thirty nine thousand five hundred kilograms That's about eighty thousand pounds or so eighty eighty ninety thousand maybe Okay, are we on the water yet? No, we're still on the that's the edge Right there. That's the riverbank. We're gonna drive down. There's a car coming this way We're going that way Okay, here we go. We're officially on the ice I'm driving across water right now my first time ever I've lived in Canada my whole life This is my first time ever driving across an actual ice road. It's only half a kilometer long Okay, so it's not like we're driving across a lake or anything, but that actually wasn't that bad, eh? Okay, okay, we're almost there. All right this southern boy wants to get off the ice now Okay, we're on the banks banks, okay, there we go. We made it We didn't fall through All right, there's a first for everything drove across the river today. I was so nervous. That wasn't that bad at all I guess I just never seen one in person before Trevor Josh ice road trucker. It's official. This is Norway house that we're coming into here Once again has nothing to do with the Norwegians as far as I know maybe at one point it did but Now this is a A Indian reservation or a indigenous reservation first-nation reservation So what that means for people who aren't in Canada is The first peoples of Canada have this land protected for their exclusive use By the crown by the Queen of Canada So it is reserves Specifically and exclusively for them if I wanted to live and work here. I couldn't I'm not allowed to live here or work here I'm allowed to come in here and deliver and pick up stuff and you know visit Yeah, I'm allowed to be here, but I can't actually live here and work here See up there. The sign says Welcome to Norway house Cree nation in God we trust. Oh Oh They have the same slogan here as the United States Here's a fun Mennonite fact for you though seeing as I have Mennonite heritage and the reason I'm in Manitoba right now Is the Mennonite immigration of 1874? when the Mennonites Wrote up their deal and their treaty with the crown They were also given reserves We had the East Reserve and the West Reserve in southern Manitoba present a Steinback and Winkler that land there was also reserved for our exclusive use and Was protected under the crown the same way this land is protected for the people here however, the crown did not honor their promise to us and did not Protect that treaty or that agreement and they broke their promise to us And so far the crown still protects this land for the people here, but Our reservations that it was called it was called the East Mennonite Reserve and the West Mennonite Reserve They were established 1874 I believe and in the early 1900s The government went back on that and took that status away They're a little fun fact for you and that's the trailer we came here to get bringing us all the way down to Stonewall, Manitoba What a seven-hour driver so 78 hour drive down south It's like an office trailer a Portable portable office. I'm gonna end the vlog here. So thanks for watching today tune in tomorrow I got to pull this across the ice Let's hope it don't fall through

Hello, I'm John McGee. I'm the Executive Director of Educational Technology Services at the University of North Alabama. Welcome to our presentation on Utilizing Curriculum Mapping to Assess Campus OER Adoption. And I am Jennifer Pate. I am the Open Education Resources and Scholar Communications Librarian at Collier Library on the campus of the University of North Alabama. And I'm Rachel Berry. I was the Graduate Assistant for Jen and John at the University of North Alabama in the MA program in Rhetoric and Technical Communication. I'm now in the PhD program at the University of Memphis in the Writing, Rhetoric, and Technical Communication Department. So to begin with, I just want to give you a brief overview of our presentation. So we're going to start with a little bit about OER at UNA, how we started the process, overview of curriculum mapping, a little bit about our goals for that OER adoption, the stages of the curriculum mapping process, our conclusions, and then our references. So the first thing that happened at UNA is part of our strategic plan. There was an aspirational goal defined to have a 50% adoption of OER in all programs. And what resulted from that was our Provost Charge Educational Technology Services and Collier Library with implementing an OER initiative at UNA. That resulted with Collier Library and Educational Technology Services working to form an OER working group through our shared governance process to pull in primarily Jennifer Pate and myself as sort of the primary movers in the group, but then to also pull in supportive faculty and staff that might be helpful with our OER implementation, SGA representation, and then ask us to move forward with trying to encourage OER adoption at UNA. So one of the primary things that has resulted from that is that we created a grant program for faculty to get them to adopt, adapt, or implement OER in their courses. So far that's gotten approximately 20 faculty and has caused the savings of about $300,000 to approaching $300,000 for students. Another couple of things that have come out of that that have been helpful are we had our SGA representatives draft a resolution in support of OER at UNA. And as part of our online course design processes, we now have our librarians in that process meet with faculty to encourage adoption of OER and use of library resources. And obviously the other thing that came from that is the move for this curriculum mapping process. And now I'm going to talk about sort of the genesis of this project. So when we think about curriculum mapping, why curriculum mapping with OER? Curriculum mapping is something that has been used in libraries for quite some time. Char Booth and Brian Matthews have a really great article about curriculum mapping. Char Booth has been a huge proponent of curriculum mapping for years. And what we've done at Collier in the past was we mapped the curriculum so that we could find places within the curriculum where there were research or writing components where we could offer our services as librarians. So we could go to those instructors or to those programs and say, here's how we can support the research needs of your students or the writing students, the writing needs of your students. And so recently, UNA has added quite a few minors, a couple of majors and more graduate programming, including our first doctoral programs. And so we decided it was time that we updated our curriculum maps here at the library. And when we were talking about updating the curriculum maps, this really kind of stood out to me that it is a way to see how the learner is negotiating what they're engaging with in their learning experience or their degree path. And I thought, we need to use curriculum mapping to see what curriculum material students are having to engage with. What are the cost of those materials? How many books are required for certain courses or certain majors? So that's kind of what sparked the idea for this project. So our goals for this project, we had quite a few goals. One, like John mentioned, we have this by 2024 aspirational goal that 50% of our academic programs on this campus or online will include some form of OER. So we wanted to see where we are at with that. We also wanted to be able to mark those courses in our catalog. One of the things that has come out of all of the OER work that we've done is that we have recognized that there is a real need for students as informed consumers to know how much a course is going to cost them in curriculum materials. So we know of the OER, the 20 or so instructors with the 25 or so classes that have gone through our stipend or grant program. But we didn't know about that hidden OER, what other instructors are using OER that we don't know about that we need to know about so that we can mark those courses. And here at UNA, we have OER and textbook affordability initiatives. So it all can be funded through the grant program. It's all about reducing costs for our students. So if your curriculum materials cost less than $50, I like to tell my faculty 49, 99 or less, you can have your course marked in banner as a low cost or no cost course. And it's really important for our students that they are able to visualize that information. So how do we find this? Curriculum mapping and mapping book orders. So we wanted to make sure that we could find this material, but we could also find the programs that weren't really using OER so that we can focus some outreach efforts on those areas to encourage them to apply for grants to show them what material is available in those fields that they could potentially switch to. And that's one of the great outcomes of this project is that as we are going through these these booklists that Rachel has compiled for us, we are able to connect with those departments and I've already got two meetings on my calendar in the next month to go talk to people about moving to OER. And another really great outcome that we're starting to look at now is finding those programs that have a lot of OER use and might be potentially we might be able to move them to a Z degree where if somebody is in that major, they can get through that major with zero textbook costs. Those are really the overall goals of this program. And I do want to mention and Rachel will talk about this later in the in the presentation is that while we were doing all of this work while we were compiling all of this stuff over the past year. There was somebody in the Spark OER leadership program who was working on a similar project that as we were reaching sort of like the conclusion of the big mapping portion of our project. The capstone projects came out from the Spark leadership program, and it was for Viva which is in Virginia it's a consortium and such great information in there that we will try to incorporate the next time we go through to update our curriculum maps. So with that said, I am going to turn it over to Rachel. Thank you, Jen. So let's take a look at the stages of the curriculum mapping mapping project and our approach to the creation of the curriculum maps. So we knew we wanted two sets of data, mapped book list and the courses. So we have our spreadsheets that list the course, the professor and any other relevant info which we broke down by subject, and then had them all filed alphabetically to make it easy for a librarian to peruse. So once we had that set of data we gathered the book orders themselves and this involved reaching out to both instructors and the library. These two steps from start to finish took me about working with Jen about six months starting in the spring. And of course it wasn't all just entering the data and making the spreadsheets the entire time. You spend a lot of time going back and forth trying to hunt this data down, crunching it through the spreadsheets, looking and seeing where you still have holes and then reaching back out to your instructors or to the bookstore to see what you might have missed for text. So while we're creating these spreadsheets we're keeping in mind that we're going to want to cross reference these so that we can crosswalk the data from the two sets of spreadsheets for the tracking of OER in our courses. So you don't have to think of this as only a linear process. Part of this is we're trying to see what students see. They're not always navigating this linearly either. But we know we want to have a visualization of our courses and our books to cross reference. So again, you're going to find your course descriptions to make your first set of spreadsheets. These descriptions I used our course catalog. Some might want to use a syllabi. Then you create the spreadsheets of all the offered courses again by department. And that second set is the book orders collected that set of spreadsheets and then those will be merged. Here's a great example. You can see I've got the course description there. The descriptions are important to include because they help us see what the students see. And they can be used to determine a course unit's OER suitability or if it's maybe not a suitable course and we want to focus on another subject for now. Once the book orders are collected, the news spreadsheets are created, which will have those course numbers, not the description, and then the books or text use. So here we go. Here's one that Jen has started filling out. I filled out the book section. Jen was able to look at bookstore cost. So one great thing about this is that when we know the bookstore cost per text that we're going to be used, we can, if it's under that 49.99 threshold that Jen mentioned, then we can mark that as part of the textbook affordability initiative. So that we're still having some cost affordability for our students, even if it's not explicitly an OER course, we're still going to track that in these spreadsheets. So this larger example shows us where you're going to see a lot of hidden OER once you have these two data sets together and you start cross-referencing them, or at least that's what we happily found at our institution. So this is a criminal justice book list. All of these that are highlighted are hidden OER where the professor or instructor was already using elements of OER, but did not go through our program or through our working group. So we found this out once we had all our data together and once we could look at the books. And then Jen can track when she's reached out to these professors, when she could reach out to them again. And this also gives us a way to show students that they might have a choice. So in criminal justice, you might have several instructors teaching the same course unit. Maybe three of them use required texts that are not going to be OER, but one of them does have an OER element. So there's still student choice and affordability options there. And we're able to see all that once we have the curriculum maps together, once we have our data sheets side by side, and we start consolidating all that. So there are some other things you can do along the course of this process that I took information from Viva, the Virginia Virtual Library, their curriculum mapping course kit. They did things a little differently from me. So for example, they used their syllabi for each courses instead of just looking it up in the registration portal or in the course catalog. They actually reached out to the instructors and asked, can you send me your syllabus? And we're able to get the description and probably required text that way. They offer worksheets on Viva's website. We have the link to that in our references slide if you want to look at that later. There's also templates for emailing instructors. You could email the registrar using one of their templates if you like. A few more tips that they had for us that when you're contacting instructors, you might feel more comfortable starting in subject areas which you already have some familiarity. Of course, maybe someone you already know as an instructor on campus. Then you can branch out as you work more with OER and become more comfortable talking about it or reaching out to people. You may even find that once you start speaking with people you already know or subjects you're familiar with that interest develops. They realize that this is all going to be an interrelated project of different groups working together. That legitimizes it a little and people start reaching out offering information or wanting to know more about what we're doing here. All of this is basically, I tried to keep in mind something that Viva said, more info equals more data. If we know the topics, even just the learning objectives, learning outcomes, is the course accessible? What kind of accessibility accommodations do they have in this course? All of that is going to be valuable information that plays into not only whether the course can use OER, but what kinds of OER materials you're going to want to find, work with or hunt down for these courses and these instructors. Some of our conclusions now that we're coming toward the end and we're starting to synthesize our data. Well, we found that the process of creating curriculum maps for this project helped reduce the complexity for analyzing student degree completion paths. That's something that our librarian can see now and can share with students. It's something that anyone working on these OER curriculum maps is going to be able to see those data sheets and maps are reusable. I wanted to make everything I had in them very clear so that anyone coming behind me could keep on mapping. Even coming up with their own project ideas, building on what we have and not ever having to start back over and because, like I said, it took about six months to track all this down. So you want to make sure that it's something that makes sense to someone other than just yourself in the building them. And having all this again increased the visibility of OER on campus. The use where it's used when it's used is clear to students and faculty alike. We can also quickly assess areas for OER targeting and see which courses are cross listed is something you're also going to like about this. It's just a bonus that if faculty can see everywhere that OER is being used and get an idea of what those alternatives look like. So you can check our reference slide to see which papers we referenced here and info about Viva. There's a link there if you want to check out their course mapping companion kit. All of those templates I mentioned very helpful and we hope to draw from some of that going forward. Thank you so much. So if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us at our email. We also have a website on our institutional website that talks a little bit about our projects as a group as well as the grant process for our instructors at our institution. We have a Facebook page, Instagram, and if you look on Twitter, you may find us there as well.


I'm a six-winged five, and the fun part about being a six-winged five is that the six and the five are pretty much diametrically opposed to each other. One example of this is loyalty to versus skepticism of institutions. I want to align myself with a movement for stability, but I also fundamentally mistrust everything. Like the church. I love it and find comfort in it, but I also want to interrogate it because I'm deeply skeptical of it. But in the end, I think this helps me because it gives me the emotional distance to be able to say something meaningful, but the emotional intimacy to say it with compassion and dedication.


We are gonna put up our first of our Christmas tree today. Thought I'd bring you guys along because I would definitely wanna remember that. My first in this house. Yes. Well, we never had a real Christmas tree between us. I mean, obviously our families, but like between us is our first Christmas tree. We've been waiting till we had a house so we could store it. Yes. Well, that's not fake. That's real. It does kind of look fake. But yeah, we've been waiting to have a house so we could actually store the Christmas tree. We also just go home for the holidays. Back to Georgia. We're in Texas if you guys are new. I'm Sonali. This is Ryan and we just bought a house. So we're doing all the fun house stuff. There's lots more innovations to come. I'm in my skims PJs. Anyways, we go home for the holidays. So usually we don't really do too many decorations anyways cause we're home for a while and we're just like, I don't know why I put it up here. But we're doing it early. What's the date? November 14th. So we're doing it early so we can have it up for a good amount of time. And now we have storage. So we have no excuse. We have like non-copyright music in the back because I'm not letting you to. Oh. Let's get started. We bought a Christmas tree from Target. I was originally going to buy a Christmas tree from like Home Depot. What was the other place that we were looking for a Christmas tree? The hobby line. No, no. Where do we go? Yeah. We're matching in skims. She looks like E.T. right now. Where did we go that looked so fake? Oh Costco. The Costco one did not look very good. It looked a little fake. So we went to Target and we actually bought a flocked tree which I used to love flocked trees. I'm kind of over now but this one had warm lights. The one we originally wanted did not have warm lights. It had like white lights. So we're gonna unbox it and hopefully it's good. It was actually on sale and we're gonna wait until after Christmas for this first year to buy a Christmas tree so that it was on sale. But it was on sale before Christmas. I was like, okay, that's great. But I honestly think that sales nowadays are like totally fake because why would it be on sale during peak time of buying a Christmas tree? Like that just does not make sense. So I think they like marked it higher to then make it on sale. Does that make sense? Anyway, let's unbox our first ever Christmas tree. I don't see anything here that I like. So we just have our cutest little Christmas tree skirt on Amazon. It's like a chunky, knit Christmas tree skirt. I thought it looked so cozy and festive and like snowy. I don't even know how to describe it. Okay. You can do it, Amy. Oh God, babe. Glitter is everywhere. Glitter is everywhere. Good. Can we come back here? Should we put it on the other side first? Maybe, yeah. It's pretty easy to... Oh, I'm so scared. I don't have that. Easy. This is really welcome music. Grand reveal. It looks really pretty. Hey, Google, turn all the lights off. Turning 11 lights off. The warm lights were such a good call. That was my call. I picked this out. Okay, you picked this out, but I was saying that we needed warm lights. I love it. Our first Christmas tree. I didn't realize that there's like glitter all over this tree in the store, but it hasn't caught on me really as much as I thought it would.  I'm just not a big fan, but it really does look pretty on the tree. So hopefully it doesn't get everywhere. We'll just have to vacuum. I think it's a good height, you know? Especially for the space. I got these from Target. How freaking stunning are these ornaments? They are pretty big compared to the tree. And then I got these from Amazon. They actually just came, so it's perfect. But I know like brown's very trendy right now, the chocolate brown, so hopefully it'll look good together.  And hopefully every year we'll like just add more and more, but those can get expensive. So we're gonna start with like the pretty ones and then just add the cutesy ones. I held out to do the fun ones. Sort of put the sushi on first. Start at the center. That's not even the good sushi one. Sheldon the good sushi one. What's this one? I don't know, I think I got that at like Hobby Lobby on sale. Wait, Sheldon the other one though. This one is beautiful. This was our ornament that we got last year, Bergdorf Goodman, is that what it's called in New York? And it's so detailed.  I feel like that should go front and center. No, change them, change them. That was my favorite. Current, current favorite. I always got a favorite, cute, kitschy ornament. What does kitschy mean? I don't really know. You're just saying that? Yeah. I joke with Ryan whenever he's like, what the heck does that mean? I'm like, no, English was not my first language, but it definitely wasn't my only language, but how freaking cute. One year, H-E-B sent me like a PR package and they sent a little ornament. I mean, it's like kind of a joke, but like also not really a joke because H-E-B is amazing, so. Oh, it's not so funny to me. Can you put it in the back? I like don't really want that, like. Can we have my H-E-B? Okay, whatever. I'm gonna do the popcorn one. This is our most recent edition. He found it at Target. It's so cute. This is another ornament that we got from Bergdorf Goodman. And it has pearls all over. It's so cute, but I was just telling Ryan it's so expensive and like it didn't even come with a dang hug. How does that make sense? Anyways, where should we put this one? Where? Well done. That's all the fun ornaments we have. Hopefully we can collect them over the years, but I definitely want them to be like nicer and I don't know. I just don't want to go all out with like cheap ornaments, I guess. I want them to also be sentimental, all the things. So that's it for now, but I think it looks so good. I think you did good. Not bad. I think you could use maybe a little bit of fluffing. Fluffing, maybe a tree topper, but I also was looking at them online and I didn't really...  It's kind of messed up. I know, but I didn't really find one that I liked, so I didn't want to sell. I don't really value a tree, Wiseman. Great question. He's so cute. I love little Christmas things like this, like such details. I don't know if it's us. Santy Claus, what are you doing up there? What if he like literally balanced on that one bridge? That would be kind of iconic. Kind of cute up there, what do you think? It is a new day and the Christmas tree is looking beautiful as ever on this disgusting cloudy day. Yesterday and the day before was like the first sunny days in so long, especially since the daylight savings time happened. And so it was so nice. And then I thought there was some sun on the forecast today. I actually had a grad shoot this morning and it was so overcast and misty. And I called her and was like, hey, we can reschedule if you want. She just wanted to go through with it, but I think the photos turned out pretty good given what we were dealing with. It is currently Thursday today, so we're almost to the weekend. We have a fun day ahead of us, so I thought I would vlog. But first I wanna share with you guys a little Dolce Vita unboxing. Well, technically I already unboxed everything for TikTok, but guys, look at these freaking boots. These have been on my want list for so long and I love the little heel because anything lower than four inches is gonna be a lot more comfortable. So I'm hoping these fit over my calves which they definitely look like they will, but I've realized that I have really big calves, unfortunately. So a lot of over like the shin boots do not fit around my calves, which is very unfortunate. And then I got these beautiful ballet flats and there's like a sheen to it. Pearl detail is so cute too. I think these are called sling backs. I may be totally wrong, but I think they're super cute for like a blazer outfit. I need to get dressed because I'm going to meet my friend at this place called Marabu or Marabu. It is on South First Street and it's like a home store with a little cafe in it. I'm going with my friend Nancy and we're both obsessed with box shot, which is like literally down the road. So we're actually gonna go there for a chai after and just chat. And I really need to find a dining table. So she is helping me a lot with like interior design. So I think we're gonna like do some searching on our computers for a dining room table because I ordered my desk and it's like a back order. So it was my breakfast nook table. I just wanted a table to sit at because right now my office is my couch and that's not making me very productive. I could sit on those bar stools right there, but that just would not be very comfortable. Anyways, I'm just talking rambling because I have to go get ready. Here's the outfit of the day. My top is from Z-Supply. Jeans are from Frame. I'm wearing my new Dolce Vida flats. I put my hair up in a barrette. I never do this. I never wear a half a flat down. Pearl earrings. This bracelet comes on. It's like a pearl bracelet, Goriana bracelets. And you're ready to go. But I probably need a jacket, but I don't have like any cute jacket to go with this. So I'll just probably grab her in a jacket. The house is like still a mess guys because I have so many Amazon boxes over here. This is just like all organization stuff. I kind of wanna film a separate video on it. So I'm just like waiting for the perfect moment to do that. So let's go to Foxtrot. The destination is on your left, Foxtrot. Okay, also I love your cardigan so much. Thank you. Yes, of course. We just got parking at Foxtrot because it's literally impossible sometimes to get parking here. So we're actually gonna walk over to Marabou, Marabou, whatever it's called. And then we're gonna come back here and get our chis. I'm so excited. I am so excited. Been craving this. The cutest freaking home store, everything. It's just, oh my God, they have all of those books. Wow. Okay, I'm looking for a little gift for my friend. Damn, they have so much to choose from. There's like a little cafe in the back, all gluten-free baked goods. Love many things. So cute. I need to find a pendant for my dining room too. You need to find a lot of space. I know. Too much space to fill. Look at how beautiful these soaps are. Look like something that would be in like an Italian. Yes, yes. Or like even just like in Capri, like in a gift shop or something. These marble trays. I love Foxtrot. I'm so glad they came to Austin. They have such fun things like, they even have orange wine.  I'm sorry if it's so loud. Oh wait, I've seen that. I don't know. I'm gonna smell it but it's closed. Oh shoot, I've definitely seen that detergent. Yeah. But I was thinking of getting my friend this carbon sauce and then some pasta. And I feel like that's a cute little gift. Back home in my comfies and I feel like I always have to say sorry for the mess but honestly, I think you guys get it. I feel like we're gonna be moving in for the next couple months or just like getting situated. So anyways, this is our dining room right now. But let this be your lesson that you should always measure what furniture you're going to be buying because I was this close to purchasing a dining room table that me and Nancy found. I think it's just like a little too long. I feel like if the door wasn't right here it wouldn't be that big of a deal because this wall is pretty big but then this cuts off right here. So it's actually kind of shorter than it looks because if I get a dining room table this long there's not much space to like walk around it. And this side is like right up against the wall pretty much. So I definitely couldn't not walk around this side.  You don't really want your dining room table and your face like right when you walk through the door. It does come in 63 inches but Nancy actually has it in her home and I just space-timed her and she showed me and it looks just too small. Like I feel like it wouldn't fill the space enough. So I think I'm gonna try to find something similar around like 70 inches or a little more than that. Cause right now this is 91 inches and the smallest size they have is 63. So that's like a big jump. I thought I was good to go on the dining room table and it's in stock and everything. So let's just hope I can find something that can get here pretty fast on the boots. I'm gonna just have to say one thing to Dolce Vita. Thank you. Thank you for making boots that fit wide calf people because I struggle, okay? And these actually fit.   But now that they're on, they're like perfect. Ryan's looking so cute today. Look at his outfit. Where'd you get that little Henley waffle? Oh yeah, I bought that for you. That's why it looks so cute. Like the lands with it or not? Yeah. Guys, I saw these in our kitchen. I got them yesterday. I saw these in our kitchen yesterday. Like Ryan wasn't home or something. And they were just like in our kitchen. I was like kind of scared of them. The intruder was like polite and took his shoes off. I just didn't know whose shoes they were. Anyways, this is the fit for tonight. We have this sweater. I think it's from Verdi. The skirt's from Princess Polly. Shoes are obviously Dolce Vita. And I still have my hair in that half up cause I kind of like it. It's getting a little greasy. So we're going to go head out to a Christmas bar. We're going to Maricold and Fifth Street. It's like this crazy Christmas bar. They deck it out to the nines. I went last year and it's actually pretty epic. We said they'd have food and drinks and I'm honestly so hungry. So we're actually going a little bit early. And this is even all of it. We got the grilled cheese and tomato soup, which I remember from last year being super freaking good. This year I got the tamales. Like that sounded so good. And just like cozy food. And then I think we have some more coming up. Oh, olives. Also, I spilled so it's sticky. But this is my favorite drink, definitely. This is the Christmas Palatin and it's delicious. Happy Friday, you guys. Ryan's opening his the gate order. The gate? Yeah, the gate. That's what the tip is. Yeah. What do you think? I'm surprised it came in the real box. Yeah. The came in. It smells like spray paint. You smell it. Oh, God. Oh my God. It smells like oily. Kind of like. I've gotten Louis Vuitton slippers off the gate and like they're pretty legit. And it literally came with the Louis Vuitton box too. They're too small. They're too small? A little bit, yeah. Oh, damn. Like right on the edge. I see. How long did they take to come? I don't know. Like a month or? Yeah, probably. Yeah. What's that? And would you order for your desk or your office? Yeah, I also got like a Hermes blanket. Like it's kind of, well, no, it's not like that, but it's. Like the checkered logo one? The checkered one. I think I just got, it's like orange and like a brownie or something. Nice. Boozy man. Wanted to show you my outfit really quick because I just got this in from Skims. They have their holiday shop live right now. This is not an ad, but they did give me the set and I am obsessed with these cotton ribbed tanks. I feel like I wear them almost daily. I have two heather gray ones, one cream colored one, one black one. Do they buy two black ones? I don't even know. I think I have one black one and then one dark gray and at one end now I'm adding this to my collection. So that's exciting. They're just like the perfect, like, I don't know, daily thing to wear because then you can wear like a cardigan over it or like a hoodie and just like sweat pants. And so that's kind of like on my daily roster for the outfits. I do size down in these tanks to a medium because I want the girls to be a little bit more supported. I will say that they are tiny bit see-through but like if I'm wearing it at home, I'm not really too worried. But for the cream one, I definitely wear like at least some nipple covers with them. But I have never tried their like little ribbed pants. So these are super cute. They're just very holiday-y. This was not an ad, but I will link it down below because I think it's super cute. I message the guy who's gonna do our bathroom renovations about fixing the stairs because if you haven't watched my like past rental vlogs or just like demo vlogs, we took off the molding on the stairs and I just want it to be like literally flush. Like you can't really tell it's like messed up because that's literally what I want it to look like but it just needs to be like covered obviously with some sheetrock. So I'm waiting on a quote for that but I would love that to be done and I really need to stay in these stair noses because this is just like a perfect selfie spot. So I need to get to that. It's a lot later in the day and we're headed to my friend's housewarming party and this is the outfit for tonight. I have this really pretty shirt from Revolve and the pants are actually from Revolve too. I just got it in the mail like yesterday and just tried it on today, but I love these pants. They're from Paige and I don't know if I took the tags off. I should check before I go. They just look very flattering. I love the flair and I actually have like a little sheen to them. They're not fully leather but they look like they're leather. So we love a stretchy pant. So the housewarming party starts at 8.30. It literally feels like it's 10.30 right now, doesn't it? I've been watching Bachelor in Paradise. What'd you say? I've been saving that daylight. We caught up on all the episodes we missed like last week. So yesterday when it was on, we watched last week's and so then we watched this week's today. Also, I don't think I mentioned that this mirror is new. I got it from CB2 and I paid for delivery. Wait, maybe I did mention it then because it got delivered and it was broken the first time. So it came the next Friday and it was perfectly fine but I want to make like a whole separate video on this one comparing it to my IKEA mirror because it's a lot smaller but it's very similar. And I know that CB2 sells a smaller version of this mirror that's similar to the IKEA mirror. Anyways, so hopefully I can do that soon. I wanted you out like on a sunny day and we haven't been having many of those.  Mm-hmm. Whatever that means, I'm gonna, so I'm wearing this with a blazer. I literally do not know anything about dress codes. I'm probably not wearing shoes either. It's even harder. What's the house wearing party? You don't want to get it all dirty. Oh, my muff boots. There's mud all over them. Hey, I'll know. What's up, you wearing? Guys, I gave Sophia baths today. She's looking so cute. Like a vow. So beautiful, so elegant. Just looking like a vow. Sophie, come here. Show your face.  Come here, come here. Are you so cute? Are you the cutest girl in the world? You have to start with are you and then she'll look at you. Are you cute girl? Are you Sophie? I don't think this is necessary. Maybe text Jackson. That's what he's wearing. Yeah, the shoes are cool. I like them. I said, is it the shoes or? Oh, no, it's literally the elbow pads. If you feel sad for Ryan that I'm roasting his outfit, don't because he just roasted mine. So, even though I asked him earlier when I was trying this on, I feel like we're very different vibes. Right now. Are they all black things? Maybe.  Cause that looks like an athletic shirt, you know? What is an athletic shirt? Okay, so change it. The heck? I don't have all my clothes. Well, whose problem is that? Ryan has not gotten his fricking clothes yet.


From around the globe, it's theCUBE with digital coverage of VeeamON 2020. Brought to you by Veeam. Hi everybody, this is Dave Vellante. We're here with a preview of VeeamON 2020. Danny Allen, CTO of Veeam. Danny, I wish we were face-to-face, man, but great to see you online. Great to see you as well. This is the next best thing, right? It is, I mean, VeeamON has been a great conference for the last several years we've attended with theCUBE, but let's get into it. COVID-19 obviously shifts to virtual, but there's a lot of things going on, I'm sure, in your business. A lot of talk about business resiliency. How has the pandemic sort of affected Veeam and how you're managing the business? Well, it certainly impacted the entire industry. And actually one of the interesting things that has happened, of course, is that used to get on an airplane fly to the customer, shake their hand and close a deal. That obviously isn't happening. That's the external side of it. The internal side of it is, everyone went into an office. We had a culture, especially in inside sales and support of people going into offices, and obviously we had to close them. The downside is we lose some of that model that we had in the past, but the upside, the bright side of this is we've been doing fantastic. In fact, the numbers that we have achieved are the same as if COVID-19 hadn't hit. Now I attribute that to a few different things. One is that we have a broad spectrum of customers, 375,000 across all segments, across all industries. And while it's still early in the year, who knows what's going to happen? What I can say is that from a business result standpoint, it's been good. From a product strategy standpoint, which is where I said, of course, it's actually been better than good because we actually have the opportunity to focus a little bit more perhaps than we have in the past to speaking to customers and delivering on things that are harder to do when you're on airplanes all the time. Well, I mean, we've been reporting on theCUBE that is really a story of the haves and the have-nots. I mean, my takeaway there is had it not been for COVID-19, maybe the numbers would even be higher. At the same time though, the whole, like I said, business resiliency, work from home, people really thinking about data protection has really come to the fore. So some of the other trends obviously that are tailwinds, cloud, data, the whole notion of multi-cloud, I'm sure we're going to hear a lot about this at Veeamon Virtual. Yeah, so as you know, our objective is to be the most trusted provider of backup solutions that deliver cloud data management. And so there's a big focus on cloud where we certainly think of cloud, of course, as the big three hyperscalers of AWS, Azure and Google. And you're going to hear announcements about all three of those and products that continue to enhance our capabilities there. But it's also our partners. We have, in our virtual solutions lab, we actually have 30 partners there, but we have a huge stable, if you will, our partner ecosystem of Veeam cloud service providers. And we're excited that they're going to be there as well. And we're highlighting some of their innovations. Yeah, I mean, we're dropping a breaking analysis this week on cloud. All three of those cloud suppliers, as you mentioned, have a lot of momentum behind their businesses right now. It's cloud is, I mean, the pandemics, not pandemics, but downturns have always been good to cloud. And I think this is no change. So give us a little glimpse as to what we're going to hear from a product standpoint at Veeam on 2020. Well, a few different exciting things. In the past, as you know, we launched Veeam Backup for AWS. That was our first cloud native solution. We just recently launched Veeam Backup for Microsoft Azure. And you're going to see iterations on those products demoed live on stage by the legendary Anton Gostev and always the fan favorite, Rick Behinover. So you're going to see demos of those. You're also going to see the first four end of partnerships with Google as well, Google Cloud Platform. If you combine all those hyperscalers right now, they did, I think a little over 67 billion last year in 2019. And obviously the compound annual growth rate is projected to go to 375 billion. So we're going to highlight some of the capabilities that we've introduced in the last few months and over the rest of 2020 with them. Well, and you're right. I mean, we just reported that we just saw first quarter earnings reports. You got AWS has a $38 billion business growing in the mid 30s. You got Azure and Google growing faster from a smaller base, but still enormous. Many, many billions. You also have a hands on labs. There's two days, June 17th and June 18th. So, you know, check it out, go sign up. But you've got hands on labs that you're bringing to the virtual experience. Yeah, so we're doing 20 breakout sessions, 10 live sessions and that's exciting. But actually for the first time and it was based on demand, we're doing what we call a Vemathon. And that's going to bring 20 to 30 live sessions where actually users can come and collaborate live with the experts. And one of the things about a virtual event, of course, is that this opens it up to globally for people to come and register for free, but they can actually interact on an ongoing basis over those two days with the experts from Vem. So, well, some people are disappointed that we can't be there face to face. We're still going to have the legendary party, but we're also doing some of these Vemathons and live interactions, which is a new opportunity for us. I think it's exciting. Well, you better make sure you have your auto scaling on, Danny. I've seen some of these virtual conferences. So many people, we just saw one on Twitter with so much demand, it went down. I'm sure you guys got your infrastructure together. So bring us home. Why should I attend Vemon 2020? Well, everyone knows Vem for its high energy, its exciting conferences, lots of announcements. We have partners there with us on stage. This is taking it to the next level. We're taking that same conference that is exciting, lots of energy. We're doing it online, which brings it to a global market and we're not decreasing the energy. In fact, we're still having that legendary party. We're still doing all those massive announcements. And so this just is a next generation, I would argue, of where the industry is going. We're excited to be there with our partners. So very exciting time for Vem. Blockbuster Acquisition in January. Congratulations, Danny, to you and very excited for Vemon. Check it out, June 17th and 18th. The great thing, typical Vem, right? It just works. You go there. It's not like a huge exam. There's a few things you got to enter, email and a couple of other things. Boom, registration is simple. Danny, thanks so much for helping us with this preview. Really appreciate it. Thank you very much, Dave. Always a pleasure and happy to speak with you. All right, stay safe everybody. This is Dave Vellante for theCUBE. We'll see you next time.
