Goten, Johannesburg weather, incoming cold front mobileses emergency services. Mondays are never feel good type of days, getting back into the working week is never easy, throw a massive cold front into the mix and things get even more difficult. For the people in and around Johannesburg, though, officials are warning that things could actually be more dangerous than difficult. West Johannesburg weather update the South African Weather Service has confirmed that a cold front will arrive on Monday and see severe temperature drops across the province of Goten. The weather has also led to official warnings as the risk of flooding is high in some areas. The conditions are expected to continue until Wednesday. With Joberg already currently experiencing some truly cold temperatures and rainfall also set to arrive on Monday, emergency services are on high alert. City of Johannesburg Emergency Services spokesperson Robert Mellotti is a detailed official plans on Sunday. The City of Johannesburg Emergency Management Services will remain on high alert to make sure that we respond to any emergency which might occur. The main focus will be all our 189 informal settlements throughout the city since they are the most vulnerable to fire incidents when we have cold and wet weather conditions like this. Disaster management monitoring teams have been dispatched to all seven regions of the city to monitor any eventuality which might occur and also to facilitate any evacuations procedures whenever there is a need to do so since there is a possibility of localizate flooding, especially in our low-lying areas, he said. We had a look at the Ventusky Service to get a physical look at the cold front. This is how it will look at 20 hundred hours on Monday night. Over the full 24 hours of Monday, Joberg should receive just over 10mm of rainfall. While temperatures may be getting colder in Cape Town, nowhere near enough rain is coming down during similar cold fronts.


Hello friends. I am Sanjay Gupta. In this video, I am going to discuss the concept object serialization, which is available in Java. Before starting, you can subscribe my YouTube channel by clicking on the link which is available at the bottom right corner of this video. You can download my app, TakMS, that is available on Google Play. You can connect with me by following these details which are available in front of you. Now coming onto the topic, here I am going to discuss the concept object serialization with you. So this concept is required while you are reading or writing an object of the class into a file. So first point says object serialization allows an object to be transformed into a sequence of bytes that can later be recreated or deserialized into the original object. After deserialization, the object has the same state as it had when it was serialized. The mechanism is generally known as persistence. So serialized means storing the object into a file and deserialized means retrieving the object which were stored inside the file back. Next point says the class of the object must implement the serializable interface if we want the object to be serialized. So this is important. If you want to store an object into a file, then you have to implement this interface serializable. The serializable interface contains no method in it. This kind of interface is called marker interface. So whenever you want to store an object of the class, then you have to implement serializable interface for that class. Next point says object output stream. This is the class which you have to use while writing an object into a file. So object output stream contains a method write object. Using this method, we can write an object of a class in an output stream. So you have to use this class so that you can use write object method to write any object into a file. Last point says object input stream contains, so object input stream is also a class which contains a method read object which is used to read the object from the input stream. So the object which is stored inside the file, if you want to read it back, then you have to create object of object input stream class and you have to use read object method so that you can read the object back from that file. So this is all about object serialization. In short, it is the mechanism with the help of this mechanism. You can store an object into a file. You can retrieve it back and for this purpose, you have to use serializable interface. So this is all about object serialization.

So, as you teach many young people about personal finance and you speak and engage, what do you say is the biggest issue they've noticed regarding them and investing? And investing. So, I think the biggest issue for young people is, number one, they don't feel like they actually have the money to invest and it doesn't seem like a wise thing for them to do because they just want to focus on getting their money up in the short term, not in the long term. So what I say to them is, you work at St. Spree's, maybe you earn £10 an hour. Just think about putting £2 away if you can of that. It seems annoying in the short term because you're going to be taking a little sacrifice, but that sort of consistent, habitual patterns of putting money away will see you throughout your life and maybe the second one is it's very difficult for a young person to invest.  You know, parents just need to sort of look at different options. There are ways to invest before you're 18. It's very doable. And lots, it's probably never been easier to invest because there are so many platforms out there. So, just look into it and it's really simple. Yeah, I want to just add something off the back of that, which is that people think investing is just for old people and rich people, but like you said, it's never been more accessible. It's just do some education, educate yourself. It's easier than it's ever been before, especially with us putting out on social media ways to educate yourself into this area. But even if not that, books longer than podcasts, listening to this, you're taking steps towards that. So learn a little bit and start taking action, even if it's with tiny amounts, because it's not just for the rich and old. It's for the here and now, it's for the young and it's for everyone. Thank you so much, Noah. We've found a lot from you. Thank you, guys. Cheers.


Hello and welcome to this talk about Debian and Yachter project, a tale of two distros, one of which is not a distro. I shall explain. So I'm Chris Simmons and let's get on. So this is the obligatory license screen. I'll leave you to read this at your own leisure. This is a little bit about myself. So I'm a consultant and trainer. I've been doing stuff with Linux as an embedded operating system for over 20 years now. I've written a book on the subject and you can find me speaking at many conferences, including this virtual embedded Linux conference. I'm very happy to be here. You can also follow me on Twitter and you can link to me on LinkedIn. Okay, so that's me. Meanwhile, let's get on with it with a show. So this tool then is about Debian or Yachter project, which one should be you be using for your future embedded systems. And it comes down to discussion about whether we should be using off the peg or bespoke. So off the peg by this I mean using something like a Debian based distro. You can just grab a copy, grab an image, put it onto your board should pretty much work out of the box. And then you can install the packages you need. And you should be up and running in almost no time. Or contrast that with the bespoke approach where we build everything from scratch using something like your project, which means that we can tailor the system for exactly what we want.  So those are the ends of the spectrum. So let's have a look and see which way you might want to go. So Debian, I'm using Debian here as a bit of a placeholder for any other distribution that you may be using. So pretty much everything I'm talking about applies also to say Susie Fedora and your own favorite distro. But Debian is commonly used for embedded systems. And the main advantage of Debian is it's a binary distro. So you don't have to cross compile anything. You just pick up the binaries away you go. Also Debian is familiar to a lot of people in the guise of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is based on upstream Debian. On the other hand, we have YoctoProject. So YoctoProject is a build system that creates packages from source code using a tool called BitBake, which is the job scheduler, and metadata from both the YoctoProject and another project called OpenEmbedded. YoctoProject and OpenEmbedded and BitBake are three of a pair, three that go together. So I sometimes refer to YoctoProject when I should be referring to OpenEmbedded and sometimes I do the opposite. So Yocto and OpenEmbedded have been around for a long time. There are literally millions and millions of devices running software created using these tools. So the thing about Yocto is that you are using it to create your own tailor made distro. You decide exactly the rules for selecting the packages and building those packages that go into your system. And you should end up with the ideal system for your particular hardware. So binary distro easy to use and set up, but you are restricted to do the things that were decided for you by the builders of the Debian distro.  So the next topic I want to look at then is the board support for both of these systems. This is kind of crucial. There's no point trying to use either one if it's not going to run on your hardware. So Debian supports a range of CPU architectures. Follow that link there for a complete list. I've selected the ones that I think are most useful for embedded systems. So we're looking at x86, 3264 bit and various versions of ARM, including the 64 bit ARM distro. So selecting the architecture for your board is kind of part of the job, but it's not the end of it because as well as support for a particular architecture, you need support for a particular board. So we refer to this as the board support package or BSP. So just to be clear, a board support package is the means of booting the board, which on ARM would be the bootloader typically based on U-boot. On x86 is the BIOS that comes flashed onto the board when you get the board. You need a kernel, obviously. You need the device drivers for that kernel that are specific to the board. So when I say kernel, that comes with a whole bunch of device drivers already built in, but there may be some additional device drivers you need for particular peripherals. If you're using an ARM based board, you will need a thing called a device tree. So the device tree is a description of the hardware. And that is obviously highly board specific. You will need to get that from the board vendor. And then finally, there may be some libraries specific to various components on the board. And in particular, I'm thinking here about the graphics, particularly ARM based devices. They all have or most of them have a GPU built in. And those GPUs are very specific to the silicon vendor. So Qualcomm use one, Rockchip use another one, NXP, the IMX chips use another one. So you're going to need support for that particular GPU if you're using accelerated graphics. So in practice, what have you got? Well, if you are building a system based on x86, things are relatively straightforward. So these are generally called embedded PC boards. There are many, many, probably hundreds of manufacturers of these boards. And they should pretty much work out of the box because it is kind of a small PC. The BSP itself then is really just the BIOS, which is flashed on the board when you buy it. The rest should be off the shelf upstream from Debian. ARM systems are more highly integrated and things are therefore more complicated. So you will probably need to get the full BSP from the vendor. For BSP, I mean the kernel, the bootloader, the device tree, the drivers, the libraries. And remember when you're doing this, the vendor is maintaining this stuff, not upstream Debian. Things are a little bit easier if you have a 64-bit ARM device. 64-bit ARM, the variation between the kernels is somewhat less. And so you can in most cases use a stock off the shelf Debian kernel. Whereas with 32-bit ARM devices, the kernels tend to be very specific to each device. A quick mention for Raspberry Pi, since it was mentioned in the blurb for this talk. So Raspberry Pi's are very popular, not only for general purpose computing, but also in embedded. And I'll argue whether that's a good thing or not, but it does get used for a lot of embedded devices, particularly the compute modules, which are specifically designed for embedded use. So in this case, the Raspberry Pi organization creates and maintains the BSPs for you. Historically, it has maintained a distribution called Raspbian, which is a port of upstream Debian for the ARM V6 architecture, which is the architecture used on the original Raspberry Pi's and also the current Raspberry Pi zeros. More recently, they have switched the name to Raspberry Pi OS. And there is a 64-bit version of this still in beta testing. So this is for both the Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 4. And it's based, it's a pretty simple port based on the upstream Debian ARM 64 port. So that's all nice. What about the Beagles? So I'm talking about Beagleboard, Beaglebone and such like, well, these are also very popular, especially in embedded space. So the Beagleboard org look after all this stuff and they maintain a bunch of BSPs for their boards. So Raspberry Pi's and Beagles, pretty much no brainer, just off you go. Okay, flipping it round now to Yachto, how does it look here? Well, it also looks pretty good. Yachto has better board support than Debian in this respect because pretty much anybody who makes an embedded board, particularly if it's based on ARM, they will have a board support package for that board. Within Yachto, the board support package is normally provided as what we call a meta layer. And I've got a slide on that a bit later on. But most of these board vendors do indeed have such a meta layer. So Yachto is obviously the winner here. If you have boards which are not supported upstream, you can create a board support package using Yachto project. And in my experience, at least that's much easier to do than it is for Debian. Debian is really great if it happens to support one of the boards that you are choosing. And there are quite a few of those. Okay, the next thing I want to look at is the root file system. So the root file system, this is the main part of your operating system. It's the programs, libraries, scripts, configuration files, all the other bits and pieces that make your system run. And in both cases, both with Yachto and with Debian, the components you put together are put into our packaged as packages.  So a package could be, for example, GCC, if you want to install a compiler, that's a big, big package which has lots of things in it. Or it could be something like open SSH if you want to install the SSH package, which is a bunch of libraries and the SSH tools. So you need to get, sorry, your embedded system is basically composed of a bunch of these packages. So there are two ways of doing this really. You can either start small and get bigger, start with nothing and then just list one by one the packages that you need. And there are tools that do this for you and work out the dependencies. You don't literally have to sit down with a piece of paper. Or you start with, you start bigger and slim down. So you start with a known working system, typically desktop distro, and then you strip out the stuff that you don't need. So looking at this from the Debian point of view, essentially you have your root file system. You can do things like apt install and install package in this case XYZ that goes and fetches it from the configured Debian repository and installs it into your root file system. Seems easy. And this is what I call the search for the golden master. So this is kind of the start big and slim down approach of things. So you typically begin with your full desktop image. For example, for your Beaglebone, you've installed the Beaglebone image, the Debian image for Beaglebone. And now you want to tailor that to do whatever it is you want it to do.  You add in the stuff that you do want, so particular packages for various libraries and tools that you want for your particular project. Make a few tweaks, typically to the boot script so that when it boots up it boots into your application, maybe lock a few things down. And once you're happy with all that, you take a copy of the memory using the DD command or something similar.  So I mentioned this because I have seen this done so many, many times. And it always goes wrong. Why is that. So the golden master is not a great idea. It is, as I described it, the way you created is kind of interactively.  But almost certainly you didn't write down every single thing that you did. So that makes maintaining the golden master quite tricky. Since you don't know how you created it, you can't create a new one, you can only take what you've got and keep on making more, more changes to it. And only that, it probably leaves some kind of fingerprint behind. So you may have left some accounts or passwords lying around somewhere. Your bash history might be stored in the dot bash history file. There may be some log files that you forgot to clean out. The whole thing is very handcrafted. So second pass, this is the right way of doing it. What we need is robust reproducible builds. And there are some tools that will do this for you. I would highly recommend looking at either LB or Armbian. Go look at those links there. And those both allow you to give essentially a list of Debian packages and some configuration information. And it will generate your root file system reliably and reproducibly from those scripts. Looking at things instead from the Yocto project point of view. This is illustrating the way that we're building stuff using upstream source code.  We have a list of packages and what we call an image recipe. So that's a kind of meta, meta recipe. And then BitBake will build all of those packages for us for each one. It will download the source code from the upstream location, wherever that may be. It builds it into a local package by default using the RPM format, but you can change that. And then eventually it will put all those packages together for you into the root file system. So this is very, very deterministic. And yeah, it's the way we do things. So one of the great things about Yocto project is this trinity of the distro, the machine and the image. So the image, this is my order, the distro. So the distro is the set of instructions you give to BitBake. These are basic policies to which versions of packages don't want to use, run use the latest or the some more conservative version, which builds, sorry, which in its system don't want to use, which logging system don't want to use, that kind of high level policy stuff. Then I can select the machine, which essentially is selecting the board support package I want to use, another which hardware I'm going to run this on. And then I can select the image, which is a kind of super recipe, which lists the packages I want to build. And the nice thing is you can change these things around independently. So I can keep the distro and the image the same and just change the machine, and then I can build exactly the same distro for different hardware. Or I can change the distro and I can keep the machine and the image the same, and I'll get the same, a similar image, but using a different packaging, a different set of packages. So it gives you almost total flexibility as to what you want to create. So comparison of that stage then. Yocto, since we're building from source means we have very fine control over what goes into the packages. The typical bit bait recipes allow you to select individual or very, very finely grained configuration options. And so you can create packages that are as big or as small as you want them to be. Not only that, when you are compiling the source code, you'll be using the compile flags from the appropriate machine configuration, which should be tuned exactly to the CPU you're using. On the other hand, on the other hand with Debian, you're using binary packages, so they will be compiled using whatever options are given for the upstream Debian port you're using. And these will tend to be more generic. They will work on a range of Intel or ARM processes, but they may not be ideally tuned to any particular one. Also, the way the packages in Debian are put together, they tend to be bigger. And so you will end up using more storage, sometimes quite a lot more storage, maybe three or four times as much. And quite often they will end up selecting options that you don't necessarily want, and quite often this ends up using more RAM as well. So a Debian system is going to be bigger and require more memory. And of course, do not, whatever you do, create a golden master. Okay, the next thing I want to look at is developing code. So by this, I mean, how are we going to compile the code we've got for the specific thing we're using the board for, and how we're going to put it onto that board. So at the top level, it's really a comparison between cross compiling and native compiling. So normally we use cross compiling. So this is the traditional embedded way of doing things. So this is quite nice, it means that you're compiling on usually a fast machine, usually your desktop or maybe a server, which is probably an Intel-based device. And then you are deploying on the target, which most likely is running an ARM SSC of some kind. So you get the best of both worlds, you get a nice fast compile environment, and then you can deploy the final binaries on the target. The other way of doing things is to do native compiles. So you compile on the same machine you're going to run the code, which in this case would be the target. So Yocto is very much based on the concept of cross compiling. And this is facilitated by the way that you can create an SDK, System Developers Kit. So that's an option within Yocto, an open embedded, and that generates an SDK which you can then install onto another machine, and that contains the cross compilers, it contains development packages for the libraries, it contains some debug tools, and some profiling tools, and some other useful stuff. So this is an easy way to deploy and develop code for your target system. WM by contrast is really built around native compilers. So that means that in the simplest case, you would have to compile on the target using the libraries and such like installed on the target. But obviously if you're building small IoT systems, you don't have a very fast CPU, you don't have very much memory, and you probably don't have very much storage. So in practice, unless it's something as simple as a Hello World program, this doesn't work so well. Quite often you'll find people recommend you to use QEMU to get around this. So QEMU is an emulator, it allows you to emulate a whole bunch of target architectures, including the various ARM machines. So you would set up a QEMU environment, and I think Debian supports this pretty much out of the box, for the architecture you're using, say ARM64, and then you would provision that with a lot of memory, and of course it has access to all the storage on your device. And so you can do much bigger builds within QEMU, and then that generates the executables, and then you can put those onto the target board. So this works perfectly well. It's a little bit of a faff, but a few scripts can help you get there. So in my opinion, cross-compiling is where you should be, and Yocto does that because that's essentially the whole way it works. So I am much happier with Yocto for this than using Debian. Next topic I want to talk about. I want to talk a little bit about long-term maintenance for these things. So this is a big issue. The devices you build and deploy today are likely to be in use for two, four, ten, maybe even longer years. And particularly as things become more and more connected, then support and fixing the security issues with those boards becomes important. So both Debian and Yocto have support policies. Neither of them are 100% what you want. But in the case of Debian, so Debian releases are supported for typically five years. And if you go look at that link there to the Debian LTS project, there's information on how they do that. Note that when I talk about Debian support, I'm talking about essentially the root file system and maybe the kernel if you're using an upstream kernel. But the remainder of the board support package comes from the board vendor. And so it is their responsibility to maintain that. And so you probably need to talk to your board vendor to find out what their support policies are. The Yocto project has in the last year introduced a long-term support release. So there's one LTS release per year. And the LTS releases are supported for two years. So that's not quite as long as Debian. And when you get to the end of that two years, you have a few choices you can make. You can either go on and self-support. You can see if you can seek support from a commercial vendor or even from the community. Or you can update to the next release of the Yocto project and rebase everything on a new release of Yocto. The latter one is in many ways the ideal solution. But it's also the most complicated one because it means you've got to do a complete rebuild and maybe even a complete validation exercise, which may be problematic. And I'll emphasize again the LTS Yocto support is only for the core of the Yocto project. It does not in particular contain the meta-layers which are supported by, in this case, the board vendors. So that is a quick run-through of all of the topics I want to cover, looking at various aspects of Debian and Yocto. So can we draw any conclusions from this? So I want to say, first of all, it's not either or. On several occasions in the past, I've tried to draw this as a conflict. Obviously it's not a conflict. Both Debian and Yocto are good choices in various cases. So I really think Debian is the best solution if you're using commodity hardware, which has good upstream kernel support. So I'm talking about x86-based systems and I'm talking about things based on the ARM64 Debian port, which is well supported. Of course, you need to build your root file system using a suitable tool such as Elba or ARM-bian. But if you do those things, yeah, it should work. And it's especially good, of course, if you want to do proof of concepts and prototypes because you can probably get a Debian system up and running more quickly than you can equivalent Yocto. However, Yocto has its own niches. It's great if you have, well, it's essential if you have custom hardware, which has no upstream support from Debian or other distros. And that's probably the majority of cases where it gets used. And also it's really great in that it's optimized. So the memory usage and the storage usage will be less in a Yocto-based system than they will in an equivalent Debian system. So you choose which is the best for you. Okay, so that is everything I have to say right now. So over to you. And if you have any questions, please go ahead and ask them right now. Thank you very much.


TLO what's poppin? We are on kick KICK. We are not live, but you can leave a like comment subscribe Turn on your post notification bells. Let's continue to grow the family from Chicago to the UK Right here if we go live and you happen to miss it this or any highlights will be and things of that nature Don't forget. We do got the patreon. We just started Sherlock. We watched that Friday It's a W show every time you turn on the episode. It's a 90 minute. So it's like a movie I'll take it and we got the discord as well, man This core plays a big role now that you can't send links in the chat through kicks So you send through discord and we watch This is quang Trann I used to react to some of his stuff when he did like heroes chicken and things like that But this is English Sunday roast On a Friday afternoon I'm here for it Maybe this will give me the motivation I need to actually put it in motion to cook one myself. I Still want to try it in the UK when I get there, but maybe I'll cook it myself one day In my English Sunday roast Sunday roast. So don't mind the color. It just has been Exposed to some oxygen and that's why it's just kind of this color, but it's still all good. Okay So let's marinate our Sunday roll. I want you to tell me if you're doing it, right? It was three tablespoons of oil here two tablespoons of salt table spoon of black pepper a teaspoon of Onion powder a teaspoon of garlic powder. Nothing to it. Nice beautiful clean gloves massage.  So they're nice and cooked for about 15 minutes nice boiled potatoes right on top of a country some oil to the mix the two table spoon table spoon of salt All around and just keeping it simple a table soon up paprika Color paprika is for color really don't got no taste right very simple. Hey, I was bringing you that 500 rolls going in Yes, the key is very high right now just because Potatoes on the bottom because we're gonna cook this for addition or not just no We're gonna cook this for about 50 minutes on a high Then we're gonna turn it off after 50 minutes and just let this sit in the oven without opening it For additional hour. All right, here we go. Oh, okay that's like I Feel like I knew that trick, you know, I'm so not just having used it in so long because I am a three-star Michelin chef I boiled carrots here boiling for about 20 minutes at 20 minutes I'm just gonna toss it into my pan here just a nice quick saute with some butter in the same water as the carrot We bowl we got broccolini. We're just gonna boil this for about I ain't never seen that type of broccoli in my life One minute once cooked into our butter or excess butter with our carrots and let them all swim together All right, here we go a simple gravy without even knowing you made a simple gravy So a nice pie or pot here two clumps of butter in her cup of flour in post this up until your desired color So I kind of like mine a little doc just because when you add the broth and stuff in it will like much You got your desired root color We got turned off your heat turned on the fan that butter really cooked down, but that is a fat pan And because it will get a little smoky, but make sure your heat is off right so here we go 425 mil of beef broth make sure your fire is off, right? Teaspoon of big boy on here We're liquid form half a teaspoon of garlic powder a teaspoon of onion powder half a teaspoon white pepper a teaspoon of salt But we're gonna adjust and taste this for our own liking in the end kitty now He measuring it right for the gravy gang man. Let's chop the steak down for you to see you right? So that's look good my boy. What are you for breakfast today, man?  Well done. Just cook it over the top if you don't eat it as it is right so Why he cut it that way and not in the other way Look good to me. I like a little pink. No wait a minute that thing's still bleeding Oh That's a little raw if you guys Panini press you're correct my friend, so don't be yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew it was still raw 50 minutes wasn't enough the shame that you messed up on your road You can always fix it. All right. Nobody's perfect. I don't know why when it comes down to state a lot crucial It can be fixed got instant points taken off for my English people Let's go. Let's start your sharp pudding one cup of flour one cup of milk here Five crack eggs into the mix. We got a half a teaspoon of salt to beat until smooth I Got some hot oil in some muffin tin here. Maybe two tablespoons in each This has been kind of looks correct eating in the oven at times be sparing high for about ten minutes in half a ladle in half a ladle in Okay, like I said, I'm speaking at 500 degrees Fahrenheit We're gonna toss this in for about 10 to 15 minutes on it And well, I'm a Yorkshire pudding expert. I've tried it never made it from scratch, but I'm gonna do the one with The Yorkshire pudding in the sausage. What's that one called again? I'm gonna do that soon Look at the Yorkshire pudding while still up and at it. All right, it's nice and high, right? When I take it out, it's gonna be nice and flat. I don't know why there's some greens You know why I say you're not a professional English cooker UK cooker Get some orange Hey, I feel like in the UK. They do all the roast all in one pan Like from start to finish am I wrong? All right to Yorkshire pudding Nice and high. You guys see it really high. I'll give you three like this. Yes Nice and high. Hey feel like this is a fail This is all a fail except the Yorkshire pudding if it flattens out You know, I did it right All that all is now It was like a gravy. I could be wrong On the scale of one to ten. Let me know in the comments, which I rated man. It probably tastes good though This is my Sunday lunch You got to remember when he cooks is his take his his spin on it Any English men and ladies out there Parsley then we'll call it a day hit on a 69 Your beautiful son So you think you know wigs and do you really this is like gonna be a trigger warning right now I feel like a lot of controversial things went on on this and this is up my guy Sunday roast is a steeple In England in the UK and I feel like he did a lot of things that y'all knock on like Feel like a lot of stuff is incorrect. I don't know English Sunday roast so You guys see how I did it. Let's just go for a Yorkshire pudding first. That's because No, you got to fill up the Yorkshire pudding. I don't want it to be in cold All right, so your shop putting first super confidence. I don't sound bite of it Mmm.

Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Another month has been completed. That means another player of the month, SBC and player of the month voting and also player of the month investments with new candidates this month. I think it's gonna be pretty interesting because a lot of people could be interested in the SBC that comes out. We're gonna take a look at the options for this month. Premier League player of the month. It's Coleman, Mane, Robertson, Wardprouse, Vardy and Bernardo Silva. Those are the top six that are being voted on right now. I think the voting is closed as of right now. And to me there are two candidates from this player of the month that stand out and that is Mane and Vardy. And if you go look at some of their statistics from the month, Lester had three wins and one loss on the month, Vardy had four goals and one assist, Mane had four games in the month, three goals, they had three wins and one draw. Now I think these two guys are the top front runners because they have the most goals scored and out of these guys that they have actually put up for the voting. Now Robertson and Coleman, it's kind of hard to tell for those left backs because they're defenders. Now earlier in the year we had the surprise winner Van Dyke for player of the month. So we're just going to have to watch and see what comes of this but I really think it's going to be Mane or Vardy coming out with the player of the month award for the month of March. So investing for these two SBCs, we're going to take a look at some past player of the month SBCs and kind of going off what they usually require for these SBCs. We should be able to come up with a pretty solid groundwork of a way to invest for these SBCs and what could be required for them. So first of all, I want to take a look at what these cards could actually look like. If we get a player of the month, Sadio Mane card, if they base it off of his 88 rated Champions League man of the match, they usually give plus twos from their highest rated card for the player of the month version. So we could have ourselves a 90 rated Sadio Mane with like maybe 98 pace upper 80 shooting. This would be a fantastic, fantastic card. People already love this card in his inform. So that would make his card very desirable. A lot of people would want to do that. And I think I would expect to see a 90 rated Mane SBC cost somewhere in the range of maybe 600 to 700k. And yes, it would be another left wing card in the Premier League, which we don't need a lot of. We already have so many of those. That's kind of why I'm kind of hoping that Vardy ends up winning. He has the most goals and goal contributions out of the guys that are in the running. But Lester did lose a game during the month and that kind of factors into the voting process. Vardy has the 86 rated squad building challenge card already. So if they give him a plus two or plus three from his inform, I could see his player of the month being an 87 rated. If they decide to give him like a plus three from his 84 rated card. Or I could also see the player of the month coming out as like an 88 or an 89 if they really want to juice him up from this version right here, which if we look in an 87 or 88 rated Vardy, we're looking at 95 96 pace, maybe 90 shooting. That would be an SBC that gets the attention of a lot of people. So I think there are going to be a lot of people that want to do the player of the month either way this month. As it comes up, whether it ends up being Vardy or whether it ends up being Saudi Ammane. So when we think about player of the month, what is something they always require? Premier League gold cards. Now right now when I'm looking at this, the icons have kind of messed up this market in a sense. I'm looking at Premier League gold cards right now, higher rated, 83s, 84s, 85s. And a lot of them are inflated. You see that we have Kepa and Schmeichel is the cheapest 84s under 4k, the rest are above 5k, all the 85s in the parameter above 14k, all the 86s are 24k. So a lot of these cards are inflated right now, and I'm not a huge fan of those as investments. Hopefully those trickle downward at price later in the week, maybe after a week in league rewards period. If we're not getting a promo this week, that could be an opportunity for an investment in some of these cards if they continue to drop. But if they don't drop at all, I'm not really thinking that they would be too good to invest in just because they're just a little bit high and I don't like investing in inflated things. But these would be definitely required at some point during the SBC. Now if you're looking, let's say Sadio Mane wins Player of the Month, you're going to want to focus on maybe the Mane card himself, or Firmino, or maybe an Allison 85, or I think Allison got an upgrade to an 87 as well. Maybe that card, since it is a Liverpool player, you can always look for the nation and of the team that that player plays for when they win Player of the Month. But always in general, high rated Premier League gold cards are almost always required. Whether it's Vardy or Mane who wins, you're going to have to submit some sort of SBC that requires Premier League gold cards. So that's a shout. If you see these prices dip a little bit lower after rewards on Thursday, that could be an opportunity for investment right there. Inform-wise, that's kind of the second place where we look for investments. Ben Me, from this week's team in the week, is a little bit interesting to me. He would be a good investment, especially if Vardy won Player of the Month. I don't like his price right now at 24k. If you can get him around 20 or 21, I think that's a pretty good shout because you've seen other center backs from the Premier League that are English. They have boomed this year at certain points on the market just because they're very, very linkable for SBCs and all of that. So if you see this card get around 20,000 coins, 21 to 22k, I think that's a decent investment if they need an inform requirement for this SBC. Which if Mane gets it, I do think there will be an inform requirement just because of the fact that that SBC will probably be pretty expensive. Other than that, Informs in the Prem, I don't think it's a good idea to pay 23k for any of these Informs. Check out this upcoming team of the week. Maybe there's a Premier League player in it that's an 81 or 82 rated. That could be a decent investment early on in the week, as that card would only be in packs for two days before the Player of the Month SBC would come out on Friday. So other than that, the next thing that we need to look at is the actual gold cards themselves. Now I'm actually going to transition over to the screen for this in-game. Jamie Vardy's actual foot card right now, I think it's actually going for around 2000 coins. And as you saw back here on the graph, he is pretty inflated. I think people are realizing that, hey, this Player of the Month is coming soon. A lot of people got in on this card, especially when the voting came out on Friday. And they realized that, hey, this could be a good investment here. He was close to this card. And right now he's sitting about 1800 coins as we see here on the Xbox. I don't think that's a great investment because if you really need Vardy for his Player of the Month SBC, I don't expect that his card would go anywhere over 5k. If you really think you're going to do the SBC, just pick one up, store it in your club at maybe 2000 coins. That would be a card that you could easily maybe sit on and snipe during rewards. That card will get supplied again on the market. And you'll be able to pick one up if you really need to. Mane is one that kind of interests me though. And I want to take a look at his graph. But I did see that his price is about 25k on the market, which is interesting because he is actually one of the cheaper 86 rated cards right now with how inflated those cards are on the market. So let's go take a look at Sadio Mane, 26,000 coins. He is up. He was 24k. Actually, wow, a couple weeks ago, 15,000 coins. That's crazy. That's pretty crazy. So he is inflated a little bit, as you can see with the with the Icon SBCs and stuff like that. But this is a card that I would, if Mane gets the SBC, if he wins the Player of the Month Award, I would be, I mean, I think they could require this Mane card. Now we're going to actually take a look back to an old tweet from the last time that Mane won Player of the Month. This was in FIFA 18. He won the very first Player of the Month, Player of the Month September for the Premier League. Actually, no, it was Player of the Month August. He was the very first Player of the Month player that came out in the first week of FIFA. And you see by this screenshot here, you needed a Senegalese player from Liverpool. So it required his card. The last time he won Player of the Month, his card was required. And that's one thing that I wanted to point out to you guys. I could see that being the same thing again. Although maybe his card goes to like 50,000 coins. I don't really think that that would be enough to justify the whole cost of the SBC. Now, if you're thinking about a Mane card and his man of the match right now is chilling on the market for somewhere around like 370K. And people have no problem paying 370K for this card, which has really insane stats. Add a stat boost to him, make him a 90 rated card, give him a dynamic image of him holding the Player of the Month award. And I think you're going to look at this SBC being probably somewhere along the lines of 600,000, 700,000 coins, maybe even more than that 800K, just because that's going to be a very valuable SBC. He's Liverpool. Liverpool are atop the lead table right now as I record this video. At least they're in that position. And they are looking like they could win the league this year. And there's a lot of hype around Liverpool. So it depends on what EA eventually does for this SBC. But if it is Mane, look for some Liverpool requirements. Look for some probably informed requirements, because they're going to have to get that price up high in some way or form. And that would be one way to get it up for them. Now, if Vardy wins Player of the Month, let's say he gets an 87 or an 88 rated Player of the Month card, I think you would expect that SBC to cost somewhere in the range of like 300K to 500K. I know that's a bigger range, but it's going to be, they're going to know they can get you to do that SBC because they could really juice his stats. Again, his SBC card has like 90, it's like 86 shooting. And they are, they give out some pretty big boosts to the Player of the Month card. So if we go to his league SBC card and check this out really quick, and check out the reward details, and we actually look at his card, he has 86 shot. You could see that shot go to 90 if they gave him a plus four, and they gave him like 96 pace and 90 shooting. That would be a card people would go crazy for, because I don't know if he's projected to get a team of the season this year, maybe a team of the season on the edge of that, but that would certainly make his card an end game card. A lot of people would go to Rush to do that SBC. So that's why I think Player of the Month is, this is a real conversation to have this month. You know, some months the people that are nominated are just, they're just okay. But this month, I think if Vardy or Mane win, they both have special cards already that are kind of increasing their rating. And we could really get a really special Player of the Month SBC out of those cards. And people love Player of the Month FIFA Ultimate Team. That's why I want to talk about kind of investing for it with you guys today again. So again, looking through some of the investments, it's always the high rated gold, it's always the Informs. If you can get away with not using Premier League Informs, that is the easiest way to do it. Obviously for each squad, it's different. And depending on how they, they put the stuff out, you're going to need some players from the Premier League. So Kieta being a Liverpool player at 1.4K, that would be one of my more favorite pickups I think. He's 84, 83 rated, so you could use him in an 82 to 85 rated squad and get away with that card in there. He is Liverpool. And if you can pick up this card, maybe it rewards for like 1K. I think this would be one of the more safest Player of the Month investments. I'm actually just going to go pick one up right now myself as he is showing at 1.1K coins. And that is really cheap for a Premier League 83 rated card. I'm going to go stash one, maybe we get one for like 1K and 1.1K. Exactly that. That's fine with me. I'm going to stash this in the club because I feel like that's a pretty good, pretty good value. That card could go 3 to 4K very easily if there is some Liverpool requirements, which I would imagine that there would be if Mane does win that Player of the Month. So again, maybe some other specific investments from this. I don't see a ton of them. If you're investing to do the SBC on Thursday at rewards, I would recommend going out and trying to snag as many high rated Premier League cards as you can. Now, if we get word that there's a promo this weekend, if Player of the Month does come out on Friday, which I think it will, and we are supposed to get a promo, I would not buy yet just because they could release lightning rounds and that would really hurt the prices of these high rated gold cards, but that would also create an investment opportunity for a quick turnaround as people would go and possibly do Player of the Month. But at the same time, everything is getting packed and all those gold cards are getting flooded onto the market. So if you hear anything, buy Thursday at rewards. After Thursday at rewards, if you can pick up some bids or if the prices do dip down, like if you see from Amino at like under 20,000 coins, I think that's a decent. If you see him get lower than this dip right here at 21k, I think that's an okay time to maybe pick up one or two, but this wouldn't be a Player of the Month situation right now where I would totally go and invest in. I don't see a lot of stuff like that except for maybe the Chieta, but right now I would just say this is more of a Player of the Month as in if you want to do it, maybe pick up one or two cards and stash them in your club to prepare yourself to do the SBC. Just because a lot of the high-rated gold, a lot of the SBC stuff is just inflated right now and I don't think that it would be in a lot of your guys' best interest to go invest in this Player of the Month with the way the market is right now. Yes, people have a lot of coins. Yes, you have that going for you, but just the fact that a lot of stuff is just inflated right now, especially with people doing tons of icon SBCs, it doesn't really seem like the Player of the Month, it doesn't seem like one of those Player of the Months where you can invest in and make a lot of coins, especially because the high-rated gold cards are pretty high. So again, watch the team of the week this week. If we get a Vardy Inform, he had a very good game this weekend. If we get a Vardy Inform, that might be something to keep an eye out for. I don't think they would require a Vardy Inform. You saw we looked up his Inform, we'll look it up again, but this card is very rare and I don't think that they would actually require his Inform. Now if they did, if he gets an Inform this week, it would be an 86-rated Inform in this week's team of the week, if he does get one, and then this card would definitely be Panic-Sold. If you would see this card get back down to about 30k, I know that's a big drop and we'll take a look at him here on Footbin to kind of end out the video, but if you see this card get back down to like 30k, which he was in the team of the week not too long ago, earlier in the month, and he went down to 42k, but if you see this card get down to maybe 40k or below that, that would be an opportunity to pick this card up. I don't know if they would require it, but it would definitely rise back up into the hype of Player of the Month, just in case, because we know that he is a contender for Player of the Month.  I think that if you see these cards, and if you want to do a money or a Vardy Player of the Month, your best bet would to be maybe go pick up one card stashed in your club after Thursday rewards when some stuff comes on the market. And just to prepare yourself that way, not really go all in and invest on stuff, just because the state of the market, a lot of the SBC stuff is really high in price right now. If you enjoyed this video though, smash the thumbs up on it. I'm stoked for Player of the Month. I have not done a Player of the Month SBC yet this year, except for Lucas, who's at the beginning of the year. But if we get a money or a Vardy and the SBC is decently affordable, I will be very tempted to do one of these SBCs, especially a Vardy. I think this SBC card, if they really juice them up, could be pretty special. So again, if you enjoyed it, thumbs up, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel.
