Well, it turns out that Twitter, the free speech beacon of the planet, according to Elon Musk and his fanboys, just experienced another purge of not only journalists, but conspicuously Elon Musk critics as well. Harvard Law's Alejandro Caraballo noticed it this morning, writing there was a massive purge of journalists on Twitter. Stephen Zeddy of the Texas Observer and Ken Clippenstein of the Intercept. In addition, blogger Rob Russo and podcast TruanonPod. She adds, they also got Z-squirrel and Liam Nissan, both shitposting accounts that were critical of Elon and Bill Ackman. Now, when it comes to Z-squirrel, they said they weren't given a reason for the suspension, but suspects that their criticism of Bill Ackman may be wise since he's friends with Elon Musk. And when it comes to another account, the Liam Nissan named SissySpaceX, they responded to Elon Musk promoting the white supremacist great replacement theory again, writing, get a load of goddamn apartheid Clyde over here, which is hilarious. Now, I just want to pause for a moment to point out that SissySpaceX and apartheid Clyde were both temporarily trending on Twitter after Elon Musk banned this account, which is hilarious because this would not happen had he not banned them. But there's this Streisand effect that he never seems to learn about every single time this happens. But regardless, apartheid Clyde is the perfect name for Elon Musk. Now, the good news is that all of these accounts were actually restored fairly quickly, but the reason why they were restored is, we'll call it interesting. Carbio writes, I didn't know this could get worse, but it did. Elon reinstated all the accounts because Jackson Hinkle, an anti-Semitic white supremacist, asked them about it and Musk responded, saying, I will investigate. Obviously, it is OK to be critical of anything, but it is not OK to call for extreme violence, as that is illegal.  And he also told George Galloway that he'd look into it and told Glenn Greenwald, quote, we do sweeps for spam slash scam accounts and sometimes real accounts get caught up in them. I'm sure. While I'm thankful that these accounts were reinstated, I'm not buying his excuse. There have been other accounts like Juniper, for example, that happened to be critical of Elon Musk, and they were also inexplicably banned. You're not going to convince me that this was an accident or part of a spam sweep. It's clear Elon Musk is a thin-skinned narcissist with an axe to grind. And it's not the first time that his pettiness has dictated policy on Twitter. Maybe I would be a little bit more charitable if this were the first time that this happened. But he spent the last year chumming it up with far right fascist accounts exclusively and has at times gone after leftist accounts. When fascists told him those are the ones that he should be targeting, we've done videos about this. So I refuse to believe that this wasn't deliberate. Now, when he came back, Ken Clippenstein pointed this out, quote, this was the last time I reported on Elon Musk before my ban about his little noticed meeting with Netanyahu to discuss the security aspects of artificial intelligence. Steve Monticelli responded to Elon Musk saying, show me the Twitter files on this one because I highly doubt that it's a coincidence. A number of high-profile journalists were suspended all at once, exactly. And Rob Rousseau simply responds saying, well, that was exciting, I bet.  Why? Well, because they announced that they have new shows that they'll be posting on Twitter. Former CNN host Don Lemon announced his new show, and it's going to be airing first on Twitter, which he calls, quote, the biggest space for free speech in the world. Very, very interesting time to post this. Now, shameless right-wing grifter Tulsi Gabbard took her praise from Musk to an even further level, announcing her new show, writing, freedom of speech is a fundamental right in America. Sadly, we live in a time where debate, dialogue and dissent can be caused for cancellation and censorship by those in power to defend free speech. We must use it. I'm announcing a new partnership today with Twitter, where under Elon Musk's leadership, free speech is not only protected, it is celebrated. And again, I have to point this out because it is so absurd that I can't let it be lost on us. She's saying all of this about free speech and how Elon Musk is a leader. As multiple accounts, critical of Elon Musk were purged, and he did not bring them back until people pointed out that there was this discrepancy. These accounts are all of a sudden gone. This is weird. Many of them are journalists, journalists who have been critical of Elon Musk, and a lot of them are shit posters, also coincidentally, critical of Elon Musk. Now, the reason why they don't view themselves as hypocrites is because when Tulsi Gabbard, for example, says free speech, she doesn't mean free speech in the general sense. She means free speech exclusively for fascists, because she never has anything to say about bands on books, bands on BDS, but she has so many talking points about how woke ideologues and woke indoctrination is the real threat to free speech. But actual free speech violations, Tulsi Gabbard doesn't care. And that's because she's a grifter who doesn't actually have any core political beliefs. She's just saying what she believes is going to get her a platform. And it's funny because despite being a former member of Congress and presidential candidate and Fox News contributor, she can barely survive on YouTube. So she has to post on Twitter where the billionaire owner of that platform is going to try to shove her content down our throats since she couldn't grow organically. Meritocracy is a myth, my friends. But I do want to get back to Elon Musk, because aside from the usual hypocrisy that we can expect from him when it comes to free speech, you know, it is genuinely dangerous to see him use this platform to push white supremacy at the top of his lungs. We already saw one tweet where he pushed the great replacement conspiracy theory, but that wasn't an outlier. He does this all the time. He just did it yesterday as well, saying Democrats are importing voters. And he's been tweeting nonstop about immigration, which is interesting for the fact that he is literally an immigrant himself. He was not born in the United States. He is a South African who moved here. But after moving to America, he wants to close the door to everyone else behind him. It's so disgusting and disgraceful, but I want to dive into this just a little bit because when he talks about immigration, he is specifically against Latin American immigration. And this is so infuriating to me to see Americans who live on stolen land complain about people moving here from Latin America after our failed policies destroyed their countries and destabilized their countries. But when it comes to Elon Musk, it's interesting because he is fear mongering about the threat that immigration poses while simultaneously fear mongering about declining birth rates. So he's previously warned about a big reckoning coming due to low birth rates and has vocalized concern about people not having kids and even voiced fears about the global population not being big enough. Now, the global population is larger than it's ever been, despite resources being limited, despite climate change and the threat that poses. But capitalists like Elon Musk tend to concern troll about declining birth rates, especially in developed countries, because that to them is viewed as an economic issue. If the population in a particular country isn't always exponentially growing, then endless economic growth isn't a possibility. Profits will also not be able to grow exponentially. They'll eventually fall and that's a threat to their wealth. Now, there's multiple ways in theory to address this if you actually see that as a problem, which I do not. I think we have to take care of the people that we have right now on this planet and not encourage people to have more children, but that's just like a personal decision. It's it's not a big problem, like we're doing just fine. But the most obvious way that you can address this, if you care about it, is through immigration. If citizens aren't having kids, you supplement population growth with immigration, but yet Elon Musk is strongly against immigration, especially from Latin America. Ask yourself why that is. Excuse me, why that is. He wants the white kind of population growth. Excuse me, the right kind of population growth. I keep misspeaking.  He doesn't want brown people to move to this country. Very at full stop. He wants the population growth to be exponential, but white population growth. So that way there's a higher proportion of white people than there is brown people here. This is what he's hinting at.  And he's sending a very clear message. And one of his defenders might say that I'm being uncharitable here. And he's not worried about the decline of white birth rates in particular. He's never said that, which is true. But this is more about improving economic conditions for everyone.  And I say this because he is gone on a war path against the one government agency that has been effective at protecting workers that he wants to exploit the NLRB. As more perfect union points out, Elon Musk wants the NLRB declared unconstitutional. NLRB prosecutors issued a complaint against SpaceX for illegally firing eight employees who criticized Elon Musk. I'm sensing a pattern here. So Musk and his SpaceX lawyers called the labor board the very definition of tyranny. Now, as Timothy Noah of the New Republic points out, he might actually get what he wants here if his goal is to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional, because Noah explains SpaceX this week found the lawsuit arguing that the NLRB, which Congress created before Musk's parents were born ought not to exist, not content to run Twitter into the ground. Musk now wants to repeal the New Deal. Naturally, that would be catastrophic, but this isn't one of Musk's nuttier crusades. He's got a lot of allies sitting on the Supreme Court. Musk's SpaceX lawsuit argues that the NLRB is, quote, an unconstitutionally structured agency because its administrative law judges or ALJs can't be fired by the president because the NLRB performs both prosecutorial and judicial functions, thereby violating separation of powers. And because the NLRB's board members, though appointed by the president, can be fired only for cause. His lawsuit also suggests that Congress can't delegate judicial functions to an independent agency, an ancient argument the Supreme Court set aside when it reconciled itself in the late 1930s to the New Deal's alphabet agencies. Now, Noah explains that Musk could actually pull this off. He could get the NLRB office back by shutting it down entirely. And the arguments that he's making against the agency are right in line with the legal arguments that conservatives like Steve Bannon have made. Like when you hear people like Steve Bannon talk about the administrative state being dismantled, he uses this same line of logic that Elon Musk's lawyers are using in court against the NLRB. Now, we're just getting a small snapshot of Noah's article overall, but the TLDR version is that Musk could do this. They just stop for a moment and think about how horrifying this is. A billionaire who doesn't want to be held accountable for worker violations could just get that agency shut down entirely. Now, we don't know yet, but the fact that it's even a possibility should worry all of us. So, I mean, if you're under this delusion that Musk cares about improving economic conditions, his union busting and attack on worker rights and the NLRB say otherwise. So we're in the situation where we have watched the world's richest man become radicalized in real time and he's using his position of power to silence critics and shape political discourse to his liking. And this right here is why leftists say that billionaires should not exist because exploitation and greed aren't the only issues that I have with that level of wealth in a capitalist system, wealth translates directly into power. And if you have enough wealth, you can directly impact our democracy and institutions in a profound way. And Elon Musk is demonstrating that to us in real time. And none of us have the ability to vote Musk out of power, right? We can't say you don't get to control Twitter any longer because he's not an elected official. So he has all of this wealth and none of the accountability that comes with that power. We just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best. That's that's the level of recourse afforded to us by this system. Tyrannical billionaires can do what they want and we have no say. But keep in mind that there are more of us than there are of them. And this perverted system of exploitation and grotesque wealth only exists so long as we allow it to. So it's a gross system. It's despicable, but just because we have to fear censorship or repercussions doesn't mean that we shouldn't speak out against Elon Musk. We should speak out louder than ever because what he's doing on Twitter, what he's pushing for is harmful. Work Ideology, Work Ideology, Work Ideology, Work Ideology.


My father, my father is my father. My father is my father. You are dead. In his latest appearance on The View, Megan McCain pressed Bernie Sanders on the issue of bipartisanship and whether or not he would be willing to reach across the aisle and work with any Republicans. Now, I find this line of questioning absolutely absurd for a couple of different reasons. First of all, the onus is always on Democrats for whatever reason to reach across the aisle to Republicans. It's never the opposite. Like Republicans are never expected to reach across the aisle and work with Democrats. They can be as obstructionist as they want and that's fine. But when it comes to Democrats, you better have a plan to work with Republicans. Out of everyone, Bernie Sanders has been probably the most effective at reaching across the aisle. The resolution to end US complicity in Saudi's genocide in Yemen, that was led by Bernie Sanders and Ro Khanna. But in the Senate, Bernie teamed up with a Republican, Mike Lee, who is pretty far right. He's a Tea Party member. So of all people, Bernie shouldn't get this question out of all the politicians. And second of all, maybe ask Republicans this question, but I'm already getting too far ahead of myself. Let's watch the clip and then I'll discuss this a little bit more when we come back. I am generally curious about bipartisanship. Can you name one? Well, Johnny Isaacson of Georgia, who has recently retired. I was like he's retired. Johnny is a very... They're dead with somebody I work with. But they're dead and now it's not dead anymore. Johnny is not dead. I know, but he's not. He's leaving. He's retired. They resign. They retire. Look, even somebody like a George W. Bush, who was a very conservative guy. Okay, anyone in office, if you were president, that you would work with on the other side? Lamar Alexander. Okay. All right. Lamar is head of the committee that I'm on, the Health Education Labor Committee.  LaRar is not a sexist. He's not a racist. He's not a homophobe. He's a conservative guy. It's called American politics. So I, you know, work with your dad. I work with other people on issues where we can come together. That's what I think American politics is supposed to be about. But you have a president today. And again, it gives me no joy to say this.  And when people ask me, you know, what do you think about what Trump said five minutes ago on a tweet? I say, I'm not going to say anything because 10 minutes from now he's going to change his view. I can't comment. This is not the kind of temperament or personality that we should have in the White House, in my view. Absolutely. Megan McCain irritates me to no end. Because I mean, again, as I stated, why is it that Republicans are never expected to reach across the aisle? With Mitch McConnell as the Senate majority leader, shouldn't we be asking them especially when they're going to reach across the aisle? And for the more, let me just say this. We are in a highly polarized political environment. So forgive me for not giving a damn about bipartisanship. We can't work with Republicans there to extreme. So if you want to accomplish anything, you just have to beat them. That's it. You have to beat them. Where are you going to find common ground with Republicans on the issue of climate change? They don't believe in climate change and the ones that claim they believe in climate change, deny anthropogenic climate change, which is just as bad. Well, the climate's always changing. No, the climate is changing at a rate that's accelerated because of us when it comes to the minimum wage. It hasn't been raised since what, 2009? They don't want to raise it. Democrats do. How do you work with them when it comes to health care? They seemingly want to undo what little progress we've made with the Affordable Care Act. Bernie Sanders wants Medicare for all. Where do you find the middle ground there? When it comes to student loans, Bernie wants to cancel them. Trump wants to cancel a select number of student loans for veterans that are disabled. So I mean, I guess maybe there's some room for common ground right there. But you know, Trump is here on this issue and Bernie is way over here. So do you understand there isn't very much room in this highly polarized environment because Republicans are off the spectrum. They're crazy. Both parties are right wing. But the Republican Party is way out there when Democrats are on the center right. And there's just no room.   That's when they come together. And that's the problem with bipartisanship. So you know, as a rich celebrity who got that job you have due to nepotism because of your father, you see the thing is even though bipartisanship might sound good on paper because it makes you feel good, it makes it seem like we're all coming together and holding hands and singing Kumbaya, I don't care about the concept of bipartisanship. Bernie Sanders, he made a really important point. He said, I am willing to work with them. I'm paraphrasing, of course, to accomplish things that will help the American people, meaning I'm not just going to reach across the aisle for the sake of reaching across the aisle in the spirit of bipartisanship. If they're going to come to my side and work with me on an issue that actually benefits people, I'm all for it. But if they're not, then no, sorry, no bipartisanship. And I left how Megan McCain was like, okay, give me some names. I want some names. Who are you going to work with? Again, this is a double standard. Republicans can be as obstructionist as pretty much any party at any point in American history and it's still Democrats who are expected to work with them. How ludicrous is that? So I wanted to just point this out because it irritated me and I think that Bernie Sanders had a good response. You know, Bernie is the one person who has reached across the aisle, but he's done it in ways that doesn't compromise his overall agenda. When Democrats like Joe Crowley, for example, or Tim Ryan reach across the aisle, we know it's exactly to benefit our capitalist overlords. When Bernie does it, it's for the good of the people when, you know, the Republican party shockingly chooses to be reasonable. That's rare, but it does happen. And when it has happened, Bernie has led the charge. Another example is his 2017 bill with Amy Klobuchar that would allow us to import cheaper prescription drugs from Canada. That was the one that Cory Booker infamously voted against. Ted Cruz was on board with that. So every once in a while, if Republicans get on board with our progressive policy proposals, that's fine, A-OK. But if you're expecting us to go over to their side to shift to the right to accommodate whatever bipartisan thing you want to happen, it's not going to happen. So let it go because unless they are going to come to our side, there will not be bipartisanship because we are polarized then for a good reason. They're loons and we live in reality. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father. My father.

The purpose of this class is two-fold, one is to make you aware of the group discussion approach and also to use that approach to get inputs from all of us towards identifying sub-parts of the larger problem and seek possible solutions for that problem. How many of you have participated in any group discussion? Many of you. As a part of what activity? Placement? All of you are familiar with group discussion as a method of placement. Some of you who or some of your friends who would have appeared for interviews for admission to the management schools, they would have faced group discussion. It is also a kind of placement, a different kind of placement to being offered as studentship in that college. Unfortunately, the main purpose of group discussion is neither. The group discussion that is conducted for placement and the group discussion that is conducted for admission to an MBA program are merely assessments to find out whether you are good at group discussions or not. Now, here is a dilemma. If the only time you have participated in the group discussion is for an assessment for either employment or for admission, that means you have not really understood the objective and purpose of the group discussion. So, any idea what is the objective of a group discussion outside the placement and admission? Come on, many of you have participated in group discussion. This is an exchange of ideas. Exchange of ideas could also happen between two individuals or even if there is a crowd of five or six people, a general conversation could also lead to exchange of ideas. You are right, but a group discussion does something more. A group discussion is usually structured. So, what do we mean by structured? So, the group discussion is structured. What exactly do we mean by structured? So, how do we structure a group discussion? Come on, you can cite from the experience that you had in the group discussion. Who starts it? Anyone from the group? Is there no moderator present during your group discussion? It depends. So, when a group discussion happens within an organization outside the ambit of employment or admission, generally some kind of either a hierarchy or a pre-appointment prevails. So, either the senior most person initiates that discussion or a person pre-appointed to moderate that discussion controls the discussion. So, usually one part of structuring is that there is a moderator. In fact, the advantage of moderator is to fold. The moderator is a person who permits everybody to express the views but does not let any single person hog the entire time and avoids repetition of points.  So, it is the responsibility of the moderator to write minutes of that group discussion at the end. And the moderator must say that, okay, we have exactly 50 minutes for this group discussion. We must preserve the last 7 minutes for conclusions and therefore the time shall be allocated like this. Why is that important?  It is a natural for all human beings. So, we would like to speak continuously for all the time but in the process we might curtail the articulation of some important points which somebody else might have thought. That is the reason why the group discussion has to be moderated and that is the reason why the moderator has to take care of these things. Plus, at the end of the day, within 2 days, all of us may tend to forget some or all the points that were discussed and any conclusions derived and therefore some notes have to be taken on what. All right. So, today we shall have a brief group discussion. Not for the purpose of employment, not for the purpose of admission, not for the purpose of spending time in a class, but for the purpose of understanding how a group discussion is an extremely important thing for multiple people to make contributions to certain thought process. In fact, the topic I have chosen for this thought process is precisely accentuating this very activity of group discussion, namely building and nurturing collaborating communities. What do you understand by collaborating communities? Community is a group of people. Communities is multiple groups of people. Multiple groups of people, each group individually collaborating with all members of that group for achieving certain purpose. So, collaborating group is a group which collaborates in our context for solving a problem and when we say multiple such groups, we call them collaborative communities. The best example of collaborative communities are open source communities. How many of you have gone to jithab or sourceforce.com in your life? Many. Now, whenever you look at a project apart from finding out what that particular software piece does, you might also out of curiosity have seen the people behind that project. One of the hallmarks of those open source projects which succeed versus the others which do not is the establishment of large collaborating communities behind a particular project. While Linux competes with the best of the operating systems in the world because Linux has an extraordinarily large community supporting. You take other well-known pieces of software that we use which came from open source, take Moodle for example, take Drupal for example. Now, these have large collaborative communities. There are international conferences where people who are all volunteers actually pay money from their own pockets to attend such conferences, exchange views and collaborate further. So, these are the examples of collaborative communities. I will tell you another reason why this particular topic is of importance to us at IIT Bombay and for some activities that we are doing for the whole nation. I had briefly mentioned I think when I was telling you that those of you do not have a seminar registered for might want to work on literature survey on some other topics that I will give. One of the objectives of today's session is also to evolve such topics and in the process everybody to understand what exactly we mean by this. So, let me tell you where we need collaborative community. You are familiar with the fact that we are undertaking large scale teachers training program. We trained 10,000 teachers that time, we have trained 1 lakh teachers. You are also aware of the fact that massive open online courses have emerged in the world and IIT Bombay specifically is offering courses the small difference. We want to create these courses in multiple Indian languages starting with engineering education, going to college education and then going to school education. That is the objective. And in the process there is a commitment that IIT Bombay has established that all the knowledge content so created in the process of offering MOOCs will always be released under creative commons in open source for every human being to benefit. Now, if you want to create quality content, can it be only a job of a few teachers who design that course? There are groups of few teachers designing such courses in every university. IIT Bombay is no exception. Of course our courses are better because our teachers have perhaps more experience and are better players to understand whatever is of significance in a course. So probably they give better courses. But does it mean that they are the only ones who are knowledgeable in that topic? No. Does it mean that for a particular problem the best explanation can only be given by one of the IIT professors? No sir. There are many teachers across the country, many students across the country who can write better explanations for a particular problem. Better examples can be created by them, better quiz questions can be created by them. Where is the opportunity for such large number of possible contributors to contribute to creation of such knowledge and its incorporation in a course? The point is, thousands of people might be writing examples and quiz problems and so on. Thousands of people might be writing explanations and examples but they do not come into a textbook. Textbook is written by one author or two authors. Exactly the same thing about a course. When massive open online courses happen, there is a possibility that a single course will become so predominantly useful because it is meaningful and useful that it might prevent innovation from happening at other places among other students and among teachers. How do you prevent that? You prevent that by saying, look this is a course, we take this as a beginning course. It is a course on thermodynamics. Three great people from Mechanical Engineering, Gaitondek, Bhannarkar and Milindathri do that course. Their course is well-known across the world by the way already. Yet if they say, now look here, this is the course. But these are 10,000 people who have taken the course, teachers, students alike. Make contributions of your own. Now people will make contributions. So this is the glimpse of a collaborative community that is being created. Unfortunately this act alone is not adequate because many of those contributions could be done. I am an enthusiastic person from a small village like community. I am good at technology but my way of explaining is so rubbish. I cannot write correct English.  There are other person on the other hand who explains better even than the teachers at IIT Bomb. How do you distinguish between the two? Well, somebody should edit. Somebody should review. Agreed? This is what happens in technical literature that is published. There are reviewers, blind reviewers, etc., etc. And then a paper gets accepted. Here we are talking about a large number of small content being submitted by individuals voluntarily and the need to edit them. Can we request Gaitondek, Bhannarkar and Milindathri to edit such submissions? Of course we can. And they will do it as long as such submissions are about 5 or 6 a month. But if there are 10,000 students and if all take this challenge enthusiastically, there will be 10,000 submissions. My colleagues may resign from IIT Bombay if they are forced to look at this. They cannot. In fact no human being can. In the automated process of assessing the meaningfulness of the submission, so far not. You are all computer science students. Hopefully someday you will create that. But today we don't have. You need human beings. So what is the mechanism to do that? Have you heard of crowd sourcing? And have you heard of peer assessment? In a way, when I requested you that you should record your 5 minutes of public speech and also comment on some other colleagues' public speech. When you comment on some others' public speech, you are actually doing a peer review. Peers means equals. People who are doing something similar. So while 10,000 people submit their assessment, we randomly pick out these assessments and randomly pick out people and say, look, you 10 people will assess these 5 submissions. Each one assesses 5 submissions. Gives a grade. ABC, etc., whatever, whatever. Now look at the objective when you are operating at large scale. You are not interested in the ranking all 10,000 submissions. First, second, 4,458 on any parameter. You are not interested. But you are interested in gross filtering of these 10,000 submissions. Not very good at all. Not to be seen further. Reasonable and the best. Because you know that the best have a chance to be finally approved for inclusion in the main course. So you are looking at the best assessments, the best submissions and the people who make those best submissions. Because they are capable of making further submissions like that. Agree? The point is, without any human intervention, without any human management, how do you initiate this activity? How do you permit peer assessment to happen? How do you automatically collect all the results? How do you make groups of people who submit the best okay and useless kind of submissions? And more important, how do you then start assessing the assessors? You have made groups of 10 people saying each one assesses 5 and so on and so forth. Now imagine that out of all these assessment, which is a peer assessment done automatically, certain best assess things come up. What if I give the same set of best so-called things which have emerged for a re-peer assessment among the larger number of people? And now I am assessing the peers in their assessing capability. I can do two things. I can ask them to do a more refined assessment. I know they are all good or whatever. So I can say the best or this parameter, that parameter and find out their judgment. One, I can get a further filtered out components of these artifacts which have been submitted by people. And more important, I will know who are the people who assess meaningfully and correctly. Agreed? Now suppose I have an automated process which makes a group of such editors and moderators, prospective reviewers at the higher level. And of course another list of names which is a group of people who make such submissions. I mentioned 10,000 people which is not uncommon for a MOOC course to have participants. All 10,000 may not submit but 10% will. And of course if you make an assignment of one mark in that course which is dependent on you are making some submission then all 10,000 people will make submissions. Common sense right? So you have these submissions. Now imagine that you have multiple subjects that are being offered and you want to create such artifacts for multiple subjects. Best artifacts. Can you not apply the same mechanism and create multiple communities which are subject-wise organized? Now when you organize things subject-wise it might appear that you are organizing them automatically but hierarchically. Mechanical engineering, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, whatever. Computer science, databases, algorithms, data structures. Is that always true? There might be a person who has extraordinary capability of contributing to a thermodynamic course and also a numerical computation course. So what do you need additionally? You need a mechanism for a taxonomy to emerge. Because you would like to classify. You will have to tag every artifact. Remember not thousands now, lakhs of artifacts have been submitted. Some of these are video clips, some of these are explanations, some of these are problems, some of these something else. They all pertain to different topics within thermodynamics or computer programming or whatever. Would you not like each such submission to be tagged by multiple keywords so that later on anybody can collect all the material which pertains to or which has linked to a particular keyword. So you require to evolve a taxonomy. Now we are talking about something really large scale. We are talking about kick-starting a process which will build collaborative communities in order to a, submit individual contributions. b, peer assess these contributions. c, come up with a ranking or a marking saying these submitters generally submit good quality thing. So you have a good quality submissions, good quality submitters and good quality reviewers. Good job so far, useful. But now you want to nurture these communities. Suppose we kick-started from IIT Bombay and such 8000 different communities get set up across the country, each community are 10 or 15000 people. And I am talking about a situation where we are not limiting ourselves to engineering education. High school maths, high school science, history, geography, accounting. Can you imagine the prospective? Now how do you nurture them? There cannot be a human control but there has to be some sort of a control. How do you do that? So you have to build leadership. In the world leadership is either self-imposed by an extraordinarily capable person who can ramrod everybody else and say I am the leader and then people meekly listen to it. Or the person is democratically elected. How can you automate such a process? Again fall back and learn about the open source communities something which you have never bothered to learn. How do these communities thrive? How do they continue their existence? They continue because leadership emerges from out of the same group. Somebody starts taking initiative. Somebody says I will coordinate this. Somebody says I will manage this side. Several other people find or like such a coordination and they agree to work in collaboration with that person. So that person becomes first coming big one. Leadership therefore has to evolve. And our system whatever we build must permit evolution of such leadership. So you see we have already identified a huge lot of software components that are required to build such a system. Such a common system does not exist anywhere. Although there are components of such collaboration. Gellol open source I mentioned. How many of you are familiar with Wikipedia process? All of you read Wikipedia articles. But you are computer students. I am amazed that you are not curious to find out how does Wikipedia itself run. Do find that out both in terms of the software that Wikipedia incorporates because it is a scalable software. Remember whatever we are doing has to be scalable. There are likely to be 50 lakh to 1 crore users out of 120 crore citizens of this country. That is the ambition. 50 lakh to 1 crore users spanning considering only the knowledge handling component that we are interested in the institution. Primary school, middle school, high school, junior college, college electives, research everything. The only requirement every content that is contributed is committed to be given out in open source and majority of the people work voluntary. But voluntary work in terms of contributions, in terms of peer assessment may actually work. Will it work for leadership level where leaders have to spend more time than normal. So can we think of some incentives. Incentives need not only be in the form of money to be paid. It could also be in the form of recognition, public recognition. So let's say the Ministry of Human Resource Development or AICT or some such body recognizes such contributors and such reviewers and actually mentions them in a list, sends that list in recognition, does anything else. Again this process also has to be automated although it will be more structured. So you need database of people, database of artifacts connected through taxonomy or database of taxonomy itself and the entire transactional process of submission, peer review, peer assessment, grading, voting, like, dislike, ranking. Can you not see practically all aspects of computer science dealing with data management, information management on large scale are at play here. There is a second component of building of such communities and building of such what should I say, open source content creation or OER creation. And that is the huge amount of research potential that the data itself will permit you to use. All these OERs or open educational resources will eventually find their place through peer review and editing, etc., into the course content. How nice it would be if five years later the IIT Bombay X course on thermodynamics still has Gayathonde, Bandarkar and Prof. Atre as the teachers or a database course done by Sudarshan and Sarada, they have still the names as teacher or a data structure course which Ajit Divan Ganeshan IR designed. But along with these names along with their material with sincere acknowledgement you have 200 other artifacts which have filtered out through this process and which are acknowledged and incorporated in the course. Wouldn't IIT Bombay be proud? Wouldn't it be very useful to large number of people? Now that is the objective. We are actually embarking on building such software. So Prof. Mausam, I don't know how many of you have heard of him, he is a researcher, he is a faculty member at IIT Delhi. We wanted him to come here but he joined IIT Delhi which is okay and Prof. Ganesh and I are going to build this. Another thing which I will quickly tell you, another large project which we are likely to actually venture into, this started by Ministry of Culture and they want to build a national virtual library of India. Basically all cultural heritage. The last 4,000 years of recorded history and hundreds of thousands of years of unrecorded history. So you take Bhagakaya or whatever which were constructed, maybe 50,000 years ago. Now you are aware of all the archaeological sites, you are aware of museums, you are aware of manuscripts, so many things, the entire cultural heritage of the country they want to capture in a virtual library and make it accessible to people. Can you not find a huge similarity between doing that task and building open educational contents? You have exactly the same kind of thing, you have short video clips, you have descriptions, you have hundred and documents which are digitized, you have photographs, and you have a taxonomy saying what is what and you need a community, for example, if somebody from the area of Hampi says that look I went to your site and this Vijayanagara Empire that you write, this is okay but my great great grandfathers had preserved a piece of paper which throws some additional light on this particular aspect of history in this year. Now that's a contribution. There has to be a mechanism to review it, assess it, authenticate it additionally and incorporate it. So you see once you build this kind of system, it could be used for variety of purpose. We don't know our history well by the way because it is not written by us. Only the other day in that abhyudaya I gave a talk on digital financial inclusion and I showed a photograph saying to recognize him and they didn't. Then I said he is Mohammed bin Tughlak and many people had blank faces. Then I said don't you know that he was one of the early kings in Delhi. Some people had heard of him. What special things he has done? Nobody knew. Two important things. He tried to shift his capital to a central place in his empire, Devgi. The second, he said gold and silver coins are horrendously costly so I could use copper coins, any minted copper coins. He failed in both, not because he was wrong but because he was ahead of his time and of course the mechanism he used because he was the king, he ramrodded everything, he ordered. You cannot build a trust which is required in a currency by ordering people to trust. But today all of us use Gandhi Baba's notes, right? When it says 500 rupees, we believe it is 500 rupees. What was wrong with Mohammed bin Tughlak? He at least was giving a physical copper coin with some weight but no, that time he could not succeed. Anyway I digress but what I want to tell you is that this national virtual library would permit the whole of the country with humongous diversity we actually learn and appreciate our own history and historical heritage proper. So I have only yesterday I took a decision that we will participate in this and do it, it's a big project but now again in order to make such project successful we need this. Now I will do the following. All of you, I will give you exactly 10 minutes. In these 10, you have heard all these dialogue. You now understand what is contemplated. Some of you might have been fascinated by one particular facet of this discussion. Some of you might have all of this in mind. I want you to jot down, I want you to jot down specific small problem statements which need to be solved as a component for building such a large system and I want you to mail these write-ups to me later but you will write them now because, विदगेशो बादगेशो after going back home you are not going to do any. So next 10 minutes use your pen and pencil use your mind reflect on whatever we have discussed and write down any, you can take any particular aspect of the holistic problem you can take taxonomy, you can take peer assessment you can take general crowd sourcing you can take voting, you can take content management how do you manage videos, how do you manage what should be the you can take content formats you can take the leadership evolution voting, you can take incentivizing you can take any one of these aspects or you can take multiple of these write down which are the problem statements such that each statement that you write resembles a topic for a seminar I hope you are convinced that this activity alone can give rise to at least 100 seminar topics each one worth its weight in gold because when contributed to it will actually result in further research and development and building these systems that is what we have to do any which way so you have actually a chance as kick starters to contribute to this activity and in fact if ever history is written I will make sure that names of all our students are written as the initiators of this activity provided of course you participate not just because I have a roll number belonging to this course in terms of what you write in next 10 minutes so write some of you are experts in hardware might want to contemplate on the sizing and architecture of the hardware that will need to be implemented obviously will require a cloud how many course in a cloud what kind of system that you would use data management system MySQL or MongoDB with distributed architecture or a combination of both you have to use a content management system such as Drupal as a base of the whole thing how many of you have seen Drupal or known about Drupal 1, 2, 3, 4 are you aware of Drupal 8 good Drupal 8 is a version which actually permits API based external development to be linked to the Drupal's inner content management system it opens up a Pandora's box where you can independently create applications outside which are not necessarily written using PHP so they could be for example Django and Python scripts running a transactional process outside or a web application outside which actually integrates with Drupal there is a conference on Drupal by the way in the coming week here in IIT those of you who are interested might participate in some of those sessions incidentally we have decided that we will use Drupal for the major content management but I digress so please apply your mind right now 1, 2 or 3 or whatever now you have 5 minutes left only I will keep quiet now otherwise you will get disturbed please stop writing by the way it was very obvious to me that 5 minutes or 7 minutes is too short a period for people to consolidate their thoughts and write them but the purpose was to ensure that your mind is initiated into that thinking okay now I would like the following to happen I would like you to spend atleast 15 to 20 minutes today sometime but today only and not late in the night before you forget you are all mtech or PhD students so that means you would be able to find 15 to 20 minutes time let us say before 6 pm today is that possible if that is possible I would like you to will set up a link on the moodle immediately I would like you to write a small snippet of your thoughts so they need not be exactly elaborate titles or whatever whatever some small snippet of one or two things that the ideas that come to you you all have to submit this and your submission will be taken as your attendance today that is important because tomorrow there will be a new a notice to all other people that if all other who are absent today have to pass this course they have to independently think on this subject by contacting you and having a group or individual discussion if required and ask for a cup of tea atleast if not for a treat if they do that and then they will have to submit a larger version of a similar thought process that is number one number two all of those who have not registered for a seminar topic or who have not already identified a topic for literature survey might choose from among the list which will be put up today evening by 7 o'clock and maybe and more elaborate submissions which will be done by others which Feroza will put up may be day after tomorrow you may have to choose a particular topic of your choice for the literature survey is that okay with you next week I am not here now I realize that you already spent about an hour extra in recording and here assessing your presentations you will be spending another hour and a half in the month of March doing the same thing that will have to be on a Saturday or Sunday so in anticipation of that one and a half hour and in recognition of the hour that you have spent we shall not have any sessions next week this will permit you to spend a little more time on preparation for your mid-sem which I think you should buttress my confidence in you by scoring one notch better in each of the subjects that you appear for your mid-sem but simultaneously you have to start work on the assignment the first assignment which is of collecting a large number of papers and perusing them with the quick reading as I mentioned as Sana Murti mentioned and preparing a list of 20, 30, 40, 50 papers which are relevant has to be completed three days after the mid-sem is that a fair requirement fine so in conclusion all submissions before 6 pm today be selection of a topic of your choice from amongst these by those who have not identified a topic three no lecture sessions next week because you will be spending time when you already spend time and four the first task of literature survey namely collecting 40, 50 papers conferences, journals, reports somebody might be doing a literature survey on some specific methodology or approach then you might write technical report citation whatever water you feel like but that preparation has to be submitted before three days after the end of the mid-sem is that clear we will just write this down and thank you so enjoy your mid-sem


Hello friends, welcome to the session I am Alka we are going to discuss matrices. We have to add the two given matrices our first matrix is cos square x sin square x sin square x cos square x and our second matrix is Sin square x cos square x cos square x and sin square x now let's start with the solution We like the corresponding elements of the given matrices. This will give us cos square x plus Sin square x and this sin square x plus cos square x then sin square x plus cos square x and cos square x plus sin square x Now as we all know that sin square theta plus cos square theta equal to 1 Therefore in place of cos square x plus sin square x we can write 1 We get 1 1 1 1 as the resultant matrix. So This is a required answer. Hope you understood it and enjoyed the session. Goodbye and take you


Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. EA Sports dropped us a surprise yesterday, and it was a gamble, SBC, a player pick that just about everybody couldn't resist because it was brand new, it was different, kind of fun, and included the current fantasy foot cards in the pack. I wanna take a look at the campaign bag player pick that was dropped yesterday. It moved the market a lot. A lot of cards have dropped. The fantasy foot cards have dropped because EA ran surprise lightning rounds yesterday on Tuesday as well. We have some more leaks about cards that are gonna be upcoming as a part of foot fantasy team number two, and we have some team of the week leaks. It looks like it might be a pretty solid team of the week today.

Huge shout out again to Manscaped for sponsoring this video, but let's get right back into it, right? Let's talk about this Cam Pain Bag Player Pick that is making everything on the market move right now at the moment. So in the current state of the market, why did this SBC come at a time where it could wreak some havoc and cause some price to go down? Well, a lot of people right now have been crafting other SBCs. You have guys crafting Player of the Month in Bape. We have had basically all the SBCs that have come out during Fantasy Foot have been good value. Tonali, a lot of people have been doing one of the best DMs and midfielders in the Serie A release as a part of this promo. The Cali Giri SBC, which I completed. And then yesterday, even with the Michele Antonio, which I think is a good value SBC as well, we're three for three on Fantasy Foot SBCs, but you still have some other ones in here like the Declan Rice, the Icon Player Pick, and Kunku, Courtois, again, and Bape is a huge one. But you have these SBCs that people are getting fodder from icon swaps and rewards and stuff and they don't have a ton to do with it, so they're going and doing SBCs. And people didn't have a ton of fodder from doing all the SBCs that have been out recently. So when they drop a new one, like the campaign player pick yesterday, people had to go sell cards from their teams to get coins, to go buy fodder or in forms to go and do this, right? Because also this week, there's not a lot of people doing upgrade packs to try to craft in that way because the 82 plus upgrade is not good. Look how many downvotes this has. 42% upvote, 58% downvote. The 82 to 88, as always, has a big downvote percentage. But people just know these 82 plus upgrades are not that good compared to the player picks of old. So that's why you saw fodder go up yesterday as people went out and bought in forms, bought fodder, and that's why you saw meta cards drop a little bit. Now, on the market where these cards have dropped, have we seen a rebound? It's just a lot of cards have rebounded a little bit, but like we always see when SBCs like this come out, this is a similar story to what we see like all the time on this game. We see the panic sell when the SBC drops, then we see people go back out and buy some cards back for their teams after they do the SBC realize, okay, I didn't get that much good or didn't really get anything good. And then you see the market kind of rebound back, but usually not as high as it was before the SBC came out, right? Perfect example is road to the final quadrado, especially since road to the finals were included in the SBC yesterday. Quadrado was like 80K at his peak yesterday on Tuesday. He went down after the SBC down to 69,000 and he's been kind of up around 73. This is a couple undercuts, but he's up like three to four to 5,000 coins. That's kind of how a lot of cards on the market went yesterday, right? A lot of cards dropped a little bit like right up until the SBC or went after the SBC dropped because there was a leak about it beforehand. So you saw some drops, the SBC came out, cards dropped a little bit lower. And then after that you saw a little bit of a rebound on some cards. Not everywhere is the market rebounding on some of these items, right? Some of these cards are still pretty low. Chamele was 850, he's now back over 900,000 coins. Tomiasu was 75K, he's 66K. So he's even lower at the moment. So a lot of people went out and they tried to buy cards yesterday, myself included, right? You know, one example of a flip that I saw that worked out really well was this Dovington Sanchez. He was down at like 145,000 coins. He's already back up to 167, so he went from like 160 down to 145, back up to 167 where he is now. Now, some of the other honorable mentions cards, it was all about rarity on the game yesterday, right? I bought some Kyle Walkers because Kyle Walker was like 140,000 coins and it looks like he's almost back there right now according to Footbin at the moment. I bought some Kyle Walkers because this is right around that price range where somebody who needs to go raise 150,000 coins to go and do two of those player picks from yesterday is gonna sell a card like this from their team to go and raise the coins to buy the fodder to do the SBC, right? So this Kyle Walker is about 135,000 coins. I bought like 10 of these yesterday at 124 to 125 because he was 140K before that SBC came out. So he hasn't quite rebounded all the way back to 140. He's like 134, 135. So maybe today he rises up a little bit more as we get into the daytime as people maybe play as long as we don't have any insane leaks. But as that aftermath of the SBC kind of ends, this is a card that I'm gonna hopefully look to sell back at like 140,000 coins. Take my profit there. On days like this where you have a big time like popular Gamble SBC pack that is released, I wanna talk through these scenarios so that next time we get one like this whether it's next week, later on this week, you guys can be prepared and know how the market could react and make some coins off of that or maybe react ahead of time and say, okay, I'm gonna sell my cards before this drops. But this is almost the same thing that we see all the time when SBCs like this come out. If it is hype and if it is a player pick, especially if it's something brand new, which this thing is checking off all three of those boxes, brand new, hype and it's cheap. That's the other thing. Cheap, hype and decent or a gamble that people would want to try out. Then you're gonna see these movements. And what you notice from today's market, if you really were like, Nate, I missed out. I didn't see a lot of cards move yesterday. I saw cards go down, but I didn't see many rise back up. How do I know which cards are gonna rise back up when we have SBCs like this again? What I want you to do is go on foot bin and do a little bit of research, right?  This would have been a really good one. This card, it gets really rare. He was down to 228. I saw him at 225 even. He's back up now to 240, 250 almost, right? Take a mental note and remember what cards moved around when we saw this party bag drop because when this same scenario happens again, whether we know leaks or whether we don't know leaks and it's a surprise, then you're gonna be able to remember, okay, last time this card had this movement. And as long as there's no new SBCs or no new special cards that are out that would take the place of that item, then you would probably see a bounce back on the same card. One of these cards that has been a absolute constant to trade with throughout the year is this Tiago Jalo. I'll shout this one out for free right here. This Tiago Jalo was 220 yesterday, went down to 190, 195, bounced right back up to 215, actually came back down to 200. And now he's back up to about 214, 215, nearing that 220 range again, right? Just some of these cards that are very popular, rare and out-of-packs, especially rarity is key. Rarity is big time key with a lot of this stuff. That's where you see the best movements on the market. But again, like I mentioned, not all cards have rebounded back. Some cards are still down in price from where they were because again, there were coins taken off the market yesterday as people sold cards to go out and do this player pick SBC. I mean, if we take a look at SBC fodder itself, you've got 84s and 85s that are up big. 86s are up a decent amount as well. And if you take a look at the index, this will give you a better representation of what actually happened yesterday. Look at this, right? The league started coming out and people started buying. But then the peak for these 84 rated cards was like still, a couple hours after content, as people were doing this player pick multiple times, you could do it twice, going out and buying that fodder. And then it started to kind of tail off a little bit, but it's still very high. Again, we were at 294 points. Now we're at 334 on the index 84.  And these cards were going up by the way during lightning rounds. EA dropped an SBC yesterday. So there were two different areas of pack supply on the market. We had the breakout SBC, which is a prime electron players pack for 4,000 coins. A lot of people were doing this breakout SBC, right? But then at the same time, they were running lightning rounds. They ran like 85 plus, 86 plus star lightning rounds for like the first three hours after content on a random Tuesday. EA is going after the bag this promo. They're doing lightning rounds right now again, man. Oh my goodness. I don't know what's going on with EA sports. They're just running lightning rounds all the time. Maybe they're trying to control fodder prices a little bit, but fodder is still up because people want to do that and bought the SBC and all the SBCs that are out there. And they're trying to maybe control that fodder supply a little bit and try to control those prices. But it's crazy. I have no words. They're just continuing to run lightning rounds. EA is going for the bag. But EA is trying to hold that fodder in check, but fodder is still going up because there's still more demand than the supply that those packs are giving out. So that's kind of the movement, right? And we've grown to expect and know what's gonna happen on these days where we get SBCs like we did yesterday. So if you kind of get it down, okay, these are some of the cards I'm gonna look at every single time and SBC like that comes out that drops the market. You can then be prepared to go out on the market and look at cards and say, I might be able to buy some of these before they go up in price. So I know I'm kind of looking at this today from a real trading slash market perspective, but these sorts of gamble packs, people go for them all the time. It's the casuals. It's the casuals. And even if you're looking at this like, man, I don't wanna risk my fodder on this. I think that it's a good value gamble pack. I think there's recent cards in it, but you could of course get stuck with the ones to watch. But it's 70,000 coins. If you wanna try to craft it after your rival's rewards, I think it's decent value. And it's not the worst gamble SBC ever. So that's why I was talking about that a lot today. And I wanted to kind of explain the whole market's perspective around it so that you know the next time that happens, how you can trade with it and make some coins on the market. So make sure to go back to those footpin links and look through cards that moved. The cards of all budgets, whether you have 200K, whether you have millions, or whether you have 100,000 coins, there were cards yesterday that were 30, 40,000 coins that moved like five to 7,000 coins, which would be plenty of profit and great return on your investment for a quick flip. So just go back on footpin and look through some of those IdaPak specials if you want some more info on that. Now just really quick, I wanna talk about Antonio. Then I wanna start talking about the fantasy foot cards and the content today on Wednesday. First of all, this SBC for me is a dub. I wish they would have given him a four star weak foot, but this card with 93 pace, 90 shooting, 93 physicality. He's got a lot of traits. He's got speed dribbler, giant throw-in power header.  If you like a big physical striker and you have extra fodder later on this week before this SBC goes away, six days, it's out for a week, this card could very easily get a plus three, right? West Ham, some easier matches coming up after April 1st. Antonio has not been in the greatest of form but bagging one goal for this guy in the next five games after April 1st should be doable for him. And then of course he plays and starts just about every game. So a plus three upgrade is very likely for this Antonio card. Again, the weak foot and skill moves is what we look at and say, eh, it's not the best, but I think I'm gonna try to get this done with some extra fodder because it's just gonna be a nice squad for a nice player to have in the club to collect and hopefully get some upgrades and then maybe go and try out. Some guys are like, hey, would he replace Divock Origi? Maybe. I think Origi is four star, four star though and probably still a little bit better than that Mikhail Antonio, but that's the third player SBC that we've had during this promo that has been pretty solid. So that's that. And then again, speaking about the foot fantasy cards that are on the market right now that did go down yesterday. I mean, you can literally draw the comparison in right here and some of these cards have rebounded back up a little bit as we've gotten closer to the lightning rounds later than nighttime. Rashford is insanely rare right now if he's 3.5. He just got so rare. That's like a million coins up than usual. That is not normal. There's something fishy going on there. But you see guys like Van De Beek, 125,000 coins, he is down. Russelian, 123, he is down. Nani was 500K flat after being, I'm pretty sure, like 540 or 550. You can see as you look at a lot of these cards, he was like 530, had a slow drop. He did kind of rebound back a little bit, but we might have more lightning rounds today on Wednesday. I was surprised to see them dropping lightning rounds like right now and yesterday on Tuesday. That's usually not a Tuesday thing. Usually Wednesdays and Thursdays during these promos where they go all out with the lightning rounds, that's when you see them putting those extra lightning rounds up. But again, these cards are still so rare and they're very, very hyped. So you kind of see these guys bounce back. So if you want to try to trade with a few of these cards later on, maybe today on Wednesday, if you see some drop offs before rewards, you still might see some fluctuations on these cards. I don't know if you'll see a really big rise after Thursday rewards or Thursday morning rewards, rivals, stuff like that. I wouldn't expect a ton of a rise on these cards. I think most people are looking at their rivals rewards this week and thinking, good, I get some packs, I get some fodder, I can go out and do more SBCs. But if you're still waiting to buy some of these cards, I would honestly still wait. I think that it is rumored actually that with the brand new update that came to PC yesterday, which is going to become in a console next week, some of the beginning, what they call assets of team of the season have started being added to the code, like the game code. So team of the season is not that far away. And the minute we start having leaks and we start having people talk about, tots this, tots that, a lot of these cards are going to drop off and a lot of the whole market's going to drop off. So I'm just putting that bug in your ear once again that, hey, these cards are going to drop off in the near future in the next couple of weeks with the big team of the season promo that is looming in the next three to four weeks. So if you don't mind losing a little bit of coins, if you just want to try one of these cards out, by all means go for it. But still I'm going to put the pause button on buying any of these. Kind of like what we did last week with foot birthdays, buying them like on Friday, around the content drop time with the brand new promo coming out. That worked out really well. I think that it could work out well this week too. And then just seeing what EA does with week two of this promo and then going on from there. So that's kind of what's going on with the market right now and that sort of things.  And I actually want to show you the message that popped up in game. I'm sure a lot of you guys have seen it. If you haven't seen it yet, then all you have to do is log into FIFA and you will. But this was the official message that was dropped yesterday in the game. Due to a third-party legal dispute, we must suspend Diego Maradona from appearing in Pax, Ultimate Draft, and a soccer raid, World 11. He will no longer be available in Pax, SBCs, Foot Draft, and his price range will be fixed until further notice. We share our fans' disappointment and hope to bring one of football's greatest icons back to the game at some point in the future. This sucks, man.  It's just some situation. I know you can read into it. There's a couple articles out there if you want to know more. But it's just some sad stuff with Maradona passing away and some of the third parties that had his rights or whoever signed the papers or whatever. There was some misconceptions there. So with that message going live in game, like we've seen with other icons before, this Maradona price, all of his icon cards on the market, exploded in value. This card was 6.1 million coins yesterday on the market. I believe right now he's like 7.3, 7.3 million coins. And at one point yesterday, he was selling for eight mil. Even some of Maradona's other items, like the baby Maradona, went from 1.3 mil and for a quick second was actually selling. He's still up. Look at this guy, man. This guy was 1.3 mil. He is now 1.52. This guy was selling at 1.7, 1.8. Couple at 1.9 for a really rare market. It was crazy yesterday to see people go out. And it's not just people that were buying this card yesterday to make coins. Again, I wanna put that speculation to bed because it was not just people going out on the market to buy coins. Also it was, oh my goodness, Maradona's price is just gonna go up from here because I have no other chance to either pack him, do an SBC for his card.  That's why you saw some of the market rise happen yesterday as well on these Diego special cards. So I know the mid and the baby were out of packs and you saw those prices go up, which was a little bit silly.  When we get team of the season, we get all these insane cards that are gonna be out.  He's not gonna be packable unless EA mess up or unless something changes. But for right now, everything Maradona is suspended in terms of new cards coming out in the game. But that's why you saw the prices going up and that's why you saw all that craziness happen with him yesterday. Just to kind of put that, I know we talked about the leaks that were out before that, but that was like a message from EA legit. That's what's happening with Maradona.  I really wanna try moments Maradona, but we're gonna have to shell out a lot of coins if we wanna get to there at that point instead of doing like an SBC or something like that. So let's move on really quick and talk about a couple more leaks for fantasy foot team number two. I know we talked about a tall yesterday. These are the official stats for his card. I'm a little underwhelmed. I talked about this on stream yesterday. 78 shot, 82 defense, 81 physical. I know that a tall plays way better than his stats always say because this card is always cracked and always good. And I know that it has the potential to upgrade, but I can't help but look back at last year's foot birthday card for this item and think EA sports.  Interesting thing to note is that he has a right back, not a right mid. Sometimes there's some right mid, right back position changes there with the tall. I think people will like it that he is a defender as a right back. A lot of people will like that for squad building purposes, but those are his official stats. In my opinion, again, that's gonna be a card impacts for team number two. Another leak is Parasich predicted stats. These are not confirmed, but he's gonna be in SBC. This could be later on this week. This could be as early as today, or it could be during team two, but it looks like we're getting some more Syria hype for a nice midfielder Parasich card right there. And then a couple other leaks. This is the last one, I believe. Maduweke from PSV, English right mid. Gonna be a really pacy card. Stats are predicted right there for that item. So that's all the fantasy foot stats or leaks that we have right now. Now, today is also a Wednesday, so let's go into today's content for a bit really quick. What do we expect in today? Well, we have some leaks for a pretty saucy team of the week. Of course, Abom Yang, with the big game over the weekend, El Clásico, EA's gotta give it an inform for that game, right? Abom Yang is leaked to be in team of the week. We have our first upgrade to headliner Kloss. Very, very happy people on the game today because Kloss is in team of the week. He's gonna get an upgrade.  So there you go. If you have Kloss, GGs. Ben Yetter is also gonna be in team of the week. That is a leak. EA's kind of going all out with this team of the week because there's another big name card in here that you're gonna see. Robertson, that's a pretty solid card. And then Hyunmin Sun, this will be Sun's best overall rated card in the game. He's got his gold, 290 rated. And then this is gonna be his first card with, well, he does have one other card with 90 pays. But left forward I think is the position for Sun. I would imagine that these are confirmed stats and maybe a confirmed position we'll see. But Sun is in the team of the week today for his game over the weekend. And that's our leaked team of the week today. Now, what else could we expect today on Wednesday? Like I mentioned yesterday with the campaign pack, it was a pretty hyped day. Monday was a bit of a slower day. I do think we would get a new Silver Star. Again, that's a Wednesday thing that we always see. So I know it was in milestones this past week because of the season change, but Kelaher is gonna be going away. Last chance to do that card. Think we'll get a brand new Silver Star today on the game and then potentially more lightning rounds. Also, we might have a new icon, SBC because the middle prime goes away. Don't know if they're gonna re-release another one right afterwards, if they're gonna wait for tomorrow or if they're gonna wait until this weekend because when this goes away today, we will have no icon upgrade SBCs out and available in the game. It will only be just these regular player pickpacks and our last couple icon player SBCs that have four days remaining. So EA, you've got some content to release. Icon moments, player SBCs and more icon upgrade packs, please. So that's kind of all the questions that we're asking today and maybe content that we could see on FIFA 22 today. So let me know down in the comments what you think about that whole situation. If you did, again, if you did the pack from yesterday, tell me what you got. Again, I got insanely lucky getting Mr. Kempembe had to put a maestro on the card as we'd like and I have so many good center backs. It's ridiculous. Desai Verran, I have a Konate in the club and Ramos, it's a blessing to have that many great cards. I'll be honest. Shout out to EA Sports for the red, this pack look that I seem to be continually having this year on this game. So comment down below what you got in the party bags if you did anything with those. Of course, if you did like the video, make sure to put a thumbs up on it and subscribe if you're new. It has been Nate the Foot Account and I will catch you guys later. Peace.


It'll Clark a hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best Greatest stars in outstanding stories and presents as your host one of the most distinguished actors of the American theater Mr. Lionel back is some very Grammarization of a book written by Elizabeth Burbridge and Robert Lee Johnson appropriately and simply titled Trenton 76 and Relates the events that took place in Trenton, New Jersey in that fateful year of 1776 It was a year of crisis a year of war a year of evaluation and reckoning To play our hero tonight. We have invited that charming and talented actress Jane Wyman And now here is Frank Goss from the makers of hallmark Looking for a way to say something to someone you care for look for a hallmark card and you'll find the card you want to send Because hallmark cards are designed to say what you want to say just the way you want to say it with a good taste You demand of anything that bears your signature That's why hallmark on the back of a greeting card has come to mean you cared enough to send the very best Lionel Barrymore appears by arrangement with Metro Golden mayor producers of the bad and the beautiful Starring Lana Turner Kirk Douglas water pigeon and Dick Powell and now here's the first act of Trenton 76 Starring Jane Wyman of 1776 Piety petty group was a widow young attractive and quite well off her fortune was famous as a face and figure and many a bachelor in the settlement of Trenton's side owner Durstette But who did she favor? Well, let's see what the lady herself had to say on the subject. I Wasn't interested in marriage at all in the summer of 76 I had the problems. I couldn't handle to run my farm My hands had deserted me to join Washington's rebels army and in order to get a man to work the farm I had no choice but to go to an auction to purchase a bondsman my aunt Tabitha was scandalized at the idea Surely are not going to purchase one of those cut-through and Tabitha I must have a man to work the farm and there's none to be hired right now if I don't harvest the crops I won't have any money to pay the taxes and if I don't pay the taxes. I'll lose the farm Why don't you accept me a switchers proposal and let him worry about the farm because I don't love him love Now I want you to listen to me if you know now and Tabitha come on We're going to be late and was conducted in the town square by the mayor Why the crowd had gathered but the gentleman stepped aside so that Aunt Tabitha and I could make our way to the front The mayor was startled to see us to say the least Well ladies, this is most unexpected. I just step closer and inspect the merchandise The merchandise referred to was a group of men in the most pitiful condition imaginable They were bearded dirty and painfully thin For one guinea 10 chillings I purchased a piece of merchandise known as Jotham Vale I took him home gave him some fresh clothes and sent him to bathe and shave and then I sat down to wait for our first interview together I must say you look a great deal better. I had no idea you were so young and Well never mind that now then I'd like to explain your chores I want to make it very plain at the start that you'd need not expect to take advantage of me because I'm A woman I'm mistress of this manner and I will have you punished if there are any infractions of my orders You need hardly fear any infractions on my part mistress. I have read the law in regard to my position The law. Oh, yes, there is a law mistress. It's quite explicit For disobedience any number up to ten lashes across the bareback or theft the severance of a hand Oh, no, don't don't tell me anymore. I I had no idea on the other hand consider what we are Slops and dregs from English prisons vagrants thieves rebels against the king what What were you? There is no penalty stated in the law for refusing to talk of the past Your concern is with my present behavior mistress and my future, but you're quite correct Jotham Come I'll show you about the farm. I could have spared myself any worry about whether Jotham would work He took a personal pride in getting the farm and working order and keeping it that way But the dark disturbing sounds of war kept coming closer Late in August news came to Trenton that general Washington and his rebel troops were in possession of Brooklyn Heights The revolution was beginning to assume serious proportions We were told that King George had hired Hessian soldiers to come over to defend us That met more taxes and we were notified that if we were unable to meet the tax Our lands would be forfeit to the crown. I Knew what that would make it in in human toil because I was raised on a farm And I knew that Jotham could never do it alone My freedom was far more important to me than my dignity and I clothed myself in homespun once again and joined Jotham in the field. You're a good help made mistress How I've not found them. So I love the land There's a sense of fulfillment and accomplishment that comes with the harvest of a good crop It's like no other feeling in the world. I agree. Have what you have now. I'd have my life's fulfillment A plot of free land my house on the land my nourishment coming from deep within its soil To be master of your own plot of land and sky and sun and rain surely There's no deeper peace No richer satisfaction Yet Think how easy it is to lose if I can't meet the taxes I forfeit the land you won't forfeit it the land itself assures you that we We will have enough grain Jotham. I could never have done it alone.  Thank you, Mary switcher as a loyal subject You will be happy to learn that things are going well with us the Hessian regiments attacked the garrison at Fort Washington and Captured nearly three thousand American prisoners. Oh, that is welcome news Perhaps this war will be over soon and we can settle down to peace again. Hi at Jotham You haven't spoken to words since we started home There's much on my mind mistress view the news of today in the same spirit of rejoicing that you regarded But why the quicker the war is over the better the longer it goes on the more suffering Peace is the important thing Jotham. What good is peace without freedom mistress. These are the king's colonies Jotham You're talking treason Is it treason to want to be free? Is it it's reasonable to revolt against the king or or to sympathize with those who are revolting mistress?  You have no right to speak to me like that. We'll say no more about it Yes, mistress at what Jotham had said and did not speak to him again the rest of the day Late that night. I was awakened as Aunt Tabitha came screaming into my room Someone's prowling through the house. It's that bond here's someone moving about all right And I followed the sounds down to the kitchen I came in one door as Jotham entered the other and both of us stopped in amazement There at the kitchen tables had a ragged young man stuffing himself on the remains of our dinner What is this? Who are you and what are you doing here? Forgive me for taking liberties with your kitchen, but I haven't had a meal in days I'm trying to make my way back to my regiment. Are you one of Washington's men? That I am and I've pledged to fight until every lobster back goes home where he came from Jotham Keep this man under guard. We'll take him to the authorities in the morning You mean you're not a patriot mistress I'm a loyalist and I hardly consider Patriot the proper word for you get out of here boy. Go as fast Yes, sir cutie to turn that man over to the authorities now go after him But once I'll have you arrested mistress whether you like it or not Washington and his army are fighting for your liberty as well as their own why this loyalty to King George He's shown no respect for the person of property of any colonists. You'll be punished for this. I'm well used to punishment mistress You asked me once what my crime was perhaps you should know now for treason I was sentenced to servitude for rebelling against the tyranny of the crown You purchased a traitor on the auction block mistress. I will not run away You should have escaped with your friend for you will take his punishment in the morning 76 starring Jane why little niece asked me a question, which was pretty important to her Uncle Frank. She said you think the policeman at our school crossing would like a Valentine for me I said I was sure he would because a Valentine would let him know how much he is appreciated and even as I answered her This thought occurred to me Most children enjoy being thoughtful of others all they need is a bit of encouragement to turn their little acts of thoughtfulness into a lifelong habit This week many of you will take your boys and girls Valentine shopping and when you do I suggest you visit the store Where Hallmark cards are sold You see the makers of hallmark cards have learned through the years Exactly what kind of Valentine's little folks like to send there are amusing ones just made to drop into a Valentine box at school bright ones to delight aunts and uncles and grandparents and Special hallmark Valentine's for the most important people of all mother and dad Yes, and here's a tip for you You can choose all the juvenile Valentine's you'll want to send the youngsters this year from the big hallmark collection Remember the hallmark on the back means as always you cared enough to send the very best Now back to Lionel Barrymore in the second act of Trenton 76 starring Jane Wyman Betty grew was having a very difficult night She locked Jatham in his quarters and then started back up to bed with an tablet the trotting carefully along beside her It was a strange strange night that winter night of 76. I felt all mixed up about Jatham I put myself in a position where I was going to have to punish him and I didn't want to Even though I was quite sure he deserved it see what is for the ragged columns of Washington's army marching into Trenton At first I wanted to run and lock myself behind doors, but I forced myself to stay The men marched silently looking straight ahead They were ragged Starved their faces were pinched with cold Their hands seemed almost frozen to the muskets they carried some wore battered boots Some marched with their feet wrapped in sacking Not a shot was fired or exchanged not a word was uttered until suddenly in the distance Jatham youth you see far more than you're supposed to see but do you see what you are supposed to see? I'm beginning to wonder Jatham for the first time I'm beginning to wonder to wonder. I hardly knew myself Was it a spark I caught from Jatham when he talked of freedom? Was it the fierce pride of the soldier I caught rifling my kitchen or Was it the determination on the thin faces of men who marched with their feet bound? In sacking because they lacked shoes They could have been warm. They could have been fed. They could have had proper clothes To have these things they had only to give up what they considered liberty Had I given up liberty? Had I forgotten what liberty was? Oh Yes, I I was beginning to wonder it may I present colonel rawl who was in command of his majesty's Hessian troops the colonel is paying you a singular honor He wishes to have quarters in your house and to have accommodations for several of his men Is it safe anywhere in this country today Jatham?  I would like to kill every one of them So would I but what good would that do? Listen there are the church bells. It's Christmas Eve I never thought we should be spending Christmas with a house full of soldiers They were down in the cellar when I left the house looting and going to everything hunting for something to drink Well, they won't find it. They won't need to just see those barrels that just went into the front door a little while ago This will be going on in every house and Trenton that quarters them tonight It seems that's their custom at Christmas. Wait a minute. King's army is just across the Delaware And some moment they can seize and turn to advantage suppose suppose this was it Could you get through to general Washington? There are still sentinels on duty. I can try mr. Is it your wish? I I don't know you don't know I Thought you'd changed in your allegiance as mistress. I thought you were with us. I am with you But but if you go it would be very dangerous It would say to you this moment that you are free Whatever freedom is mine. I give to you go with you and bring you safely home Jatham mount his horse and ride away I knew at last that I had found what I'd been waiting for the one man. I must marry Not until he disappeared in the distance did I turn back to the house? I went in and tried to appear a part of their gaiety But my mind and heart were riding through the thick snows of the forest towards Washington and his men camped along the Delaware a starving army huddled for warmth and thin chill tents a Lonely general trying to see through darkness trying to find the way of peace on earth Dance with us mr. Spetticoe dance with us Because this man trying to escape across the river you said he belonged here. Is this your servant mr. Spetticoe? Yes, it is You make any contact with the rebel troops across the river countless movements when I ask They'll find himself facing a firing squad Colonel Raul. This is not a military matter This man is my slave and it's up to me to punish him for running away He should be executed for insolence of nothing else and what good is he to me dead? What's my crime against you that you should destroy my property? You're guests in my house. I've made you welcome Don't throw enough mistress by the village to sentence the prisoner and you will please do so without delay Continued all the parties continued in houses all over Trenton and by nightfall on December 25th The Hessians were much the worst for where? shadowy figures began to appear in the street the sound of rifle was heard and the bellowing Indignant voice of the king's mayor in the city of Trenton It's full of people and look I see a good share of Tories out there singing with the soldiers For my Tories as your husband With all my heart you remember you once said there's no deeper peace no richer Satisfaction than to be master of your own plot of land the sky the sun and the rain I want to share with you Jotham Square envelope delivered on February 14th can light up the gloomiest day and you know Choosing Valentine's as just as much fun as receiving them especially if you visit a store where hallmark cards are sold You'll find there's a hallmark Valentine to fit the personality of everyone dear to you humorous styles sentimental ones and old-fashioned lacy Valentine's that recall the memories of bygone days First you'll want to select a hallmark Valentine for the person you love most a Valentine with a special message that says What you want to say just the way you want to say it and then you can choose Valentine's for all the others your brother in Service your aunt in Maine or the neighbor who helped take care of you when you were ill Yes, it's a joy to make Valentine's Day a day of loving kindness all the way around and When the hallmark is there on the back of each and every one it will tell your friends you carry enough to send the very best Here again is Lionel Barrymore Jane Wyman Thank you for another wonderful performance.
