Okay, so if we're going through the pieces that we need to cut out to make the Myosotis dress, we have our underlining and we have our main fabric, right? These are the two we have. So for the most part, we need to cut the pieces out of both this and this, sort of like a lining, almost exactly like a lining, in fact. Your skirt pieces, you need to cut both. Your bodice front, you need to cut both. Bodice back cut both. And this is where it differs. This is where we kind of, so skirt, bodice front, bodice back all get an underlining and a main. The pockets only get the underlining because the pockets are on the inside of the garment. You don't need to use up your nice fabric on the pocket. So cut four of the underlining for the pockets. For the sleeves, you can do it either way. You can underline the sleeves if you want, but I thought it would be neat to have them non-underlined and just like a little bit sheer. I thought it would give some nice light and airy feel to the dress. So for the sleeve, I just cut the main. And then for the collar, so the collar on the regular pattern is the only piece that gets lined. So you need to have an underlined collar and then a regular collar lining, which means that you cut one of these in the main and two of these in the underlining. And when you attach the underlining to the main fabric, you'll get your outer collar and then the lining piece ends up being your under collar. Makes sense. And then finally for the, what is this, the front facing, you just need to cut two of the underlining similar in thought to the pockets. You don't need to use the fancy fabric for this facing. It's gonna be on the inside of the garment and you're never going to see it. So now that you've got all your pieces cut out, here's how you underline. It's actually really simple.   So I've got wrong sides together here and you line them up very carefully, pin them and baste around all the edges. I take it a step further and I also baste around the darts. You can see I have those basted here and that just helps me see where the darts are without having to make a ton of marks. But once you get it all basted together, then you sew the darts as one. So you will be sewing through four layers of fabric. And when you do that, you will end up with a bodice that looks like this. So from the right side, you have your darts like you need to have. From the right side, they look like regular old darts and then from the inside, you have your dart legs visible. That's what makes this different than aligning. With aligning, you would have these sewn with this side facing in, you know? And so you wouldn't be able to see them, but that's what makes this an underlining. The reason why I didn't go ahead and figure out a way to line this is because we have this facing that gets attached here. And I worried that the seam allowances from the facing would show through right here under the main fabric. And I just didn't want to run any risk of that at all. See how you can see that just ever so slightly? I just thought that looked sloppy. So I figured we would just underline it and then when you have the facing seams under there, you can still see it, but it's not as bad. Okay, so that's what the bodice front looks like. Here's what the bodice back looks like. All the edges have been completely basted shut. You have your two darts and then on the inside you have your darts visible. So just like the regular myosodistress with or without an underlining, you are going to see all of your seams. Like you're gonna see all your surging and all of that. This is not a lined garment, it's just underlined. So I thought I would go over just how you do that.  You have one bodice back, you know?  So that is my low down on underlining.


The 22nd Women in Management, Business and Public Service, WIMBI's ANO conference has come to a close with a clear and clear call on women to embrace positivity and build resilience. This was the consensus by speakers and discussants at the event. Plus the correspondent, Lovie Kokoyedoko, tells us more in this report. Over 2,000 women from DIVO's Works of Life attended this year's conference. The two derivants have followed the lady's ample opportunity to make new friends, create, recreate, bond and network with one another. Speaking on the theme, Mission, I am Possible, Thrive, the Executive Director of WIMBI's Answer to a Degmitter described it as pertinent. The women were taking through topics on self-care, personal health, women pre-neo, values, mentorship among others. With rapt attention, participants listened as discussants shared, complying, captivating and alluring personal experiences. We've erased to believe that taking care of ourselves is selfish. I have erased in the culture of silence and the culture of giving that I'm supposed to serve, serve my family, serve my husband, serve my children, serve my in-laws, serve everyone, except myself. So when women even think about self-care, it seems even selfish. Which is something we need to unlearn. It's something we learn, yes, but we need to unlearn it. And it takes you being intentional. Care to me means intentional, personal harmony. It varies from person to person, like she has said. It's a state of balance in a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual well-being, when you find that balance and it's about you. It's not selfish like she has said, just finding balance, personal, personal balance. When you look good, you feel good. While I don't be finished. While I don't go ever finish. But guess what? When you wake up in the morning, clean yourself up, groom yourself. Even if you can't beat your face like my own, do something, try. Just put a little bit of effort into yourself. Invest in yourself.  I promise you, it will take you from stress level, maybe at a 10, bring it all the way down to about a five. The second panelist took the women on women premiere, while Ceci metundu spoke on family business. What I say to women every time, please work and have your own money. Don't have the cleanest mouth, like some videos I see online, where they are going. You know? So those are the teacher lessons in the decade of birth. You know, it doesn't matter how high you want to go, the higher you want to go, the deeper you must take your foundation. So what are your, what first of all, have you defined your vision, that is very clear, your mission? What are your findings, what culture are you building, what's your DNA? It's been an experience that I will never forget. It's been an experience that I will take back and also go and, should I say, my staff now, I will go back for a training, back home to my, because I have about six staff with me. So, and I've called one of them to their total come. It's not business as usual.


Decarbonization in the energy sector has led to an increase in the use of renewable energy sources, which differ from traditional productions due to their non-dispatchability and lack of inertia. This can lead to large frequency deviations, which can cause grid instabilities and large-scale blackouts. Long-term correlations between noise sources can amplify these deviations, resulting in even more severe consequences.

To see what the Falcons and Zaxby's and the Blaine Foundation has done is amazing. A lot of veterans go unnoticed and I tell you they need to see this and that's what that's our goal is to try to reach as many veterans as possible to let them know that we care. We're showing our appreciation. I hope that it means a lot to them because I think that what they do is very important for our country and you know what they they deserve a lot. The strength of our of our militaries and the communities that we live in and it's it's really exciting to have the Falcons come down a couple hours away come down to this little town in Middle Georgia to support our military families. It's Military Family Appreciation Month and it's just really exciting to see them and and have the Falcons support the military mission like they are. It's just so great to be able to help these people. I mean they've given so much to our country and for us to just be able to give them some diapers and a swing and stuff like that it's the least we can do and we want to let them know how much we appreciate them.


Hi, my name is Gary Hodges, and I am running to be your next Ward 3 City Councilman. I am a senior associate scientist with the University of Colorado and NOAA working in atmospheric and climate research. My wife, Lisa and I have been married for almost 30 years, and Longmont has been our home for 26 of those. We have two children and two grandchildren who also call Longmont home. Longmont is recognized and admired up and down the front range for our water, power, and internet services. I am running for City Council Ward 3 to extend and enhance our well-deserved reputation by bringing diversity of ideas to our city government with the goal of enhancing Longmont's vibrancy and prosperity. What will be our next-next slide? Will it be a large municipal project like Longmont's previous major accomplishments, or will the next-next slide instead be initiating or updating policy or procedure that distinguishes us from other communities? With this in mind, I have envisioned a solution-based platform that covers a range of topics and issues important to our city. Here are some examples. It might be that our next-next slide centers around government notifications. There is a common theme I have noticed when frustrations are expressed by residents that I believe can be attributed to a misalignment of city notifications with resident expectations. I love that Longmont is utilizing geographic information system, or GIS, to display and present information about our city, and I believe this technology can be leveraged to solve notification issues. Could be our next-next slide will be innovative ways we attract and retain police officers. My solution-based platform describes a strategy I would like to see the city explore to make Longmont's police force the envy of other communities. Could be our next-next slide is how we come together to address vagrancy and homelessness in a compassionate and durable way. In the past, this was not an issue for Longmont, and it doesn't have to be into the future either. My platform outlines how we can address this humanitarian issue in a way that will be acceptable to the majority of our city. What might be my favorite platform idea encourages us to reflect two decades back on the great success of Mary Leona Stacker's Pain to Goose project. I first floated this idea during my time on the Transportation Advisory Board. I would love to see art in public places team up with RTD to solicit proposals from local artists to imagine and design art installations that also function as bus stops. Besides adding vibrancy and encouraging prosperity along the important Main Street corridor, it will also motivate youth participation in public transportation. Please visit my campaign website www.hodgesforecouncil.com to read my solution-based platform that covers these and other topics in more detail. And if you have an idea about what Longmont's next-next slide might be, please reach out to me at hodgesforecouncil at gmail.com or call me directly at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Let's work together to bring vibrancy and prosperity to our city. Thank you.


Hey everyone, now I don't know how many of you pay attention to all of the reports out there for the next gen systems coming from Microsoft and PlayStation. A lot of people that watch this channel only play Nintendo games and if you do play more than that maybe you are aware of some of the rumors and reports going on out there. But one thing that's obviously as a switch owner been really concerning about this platform is that by the time Xbox, Scarlett and PlayStation 5 come out the switch will be severely behind in both a technological perspective being 2015 tech vs something much newer 2018-2019 tech and in addition to that also just being behind from a pure performance perspective this is the worst performing home console on the market and in terms of just the raw performance and already being behind PlayStation 4 and Xbox One we're talking the base models not even the pro and the X it's going to be hard to fathom how third party games like Mortal Kombat 11 and stuff like that could come to switch the Witcher 3 as an example as well how we can get those games coming to switch basically from 2021 and on forward. People are worried that third party sports just going to drop off a cliff now Nintendo has ways to combat this themselves either by releasing a switch pro that could significantly bump the performance maybe by 1.5X the current switch performance or whatever the case might be maybe it's a whole brand new generation of switch and we're talking switch too and we're getting 2-3 teraflops of performance or whatever the case might be which is possible right now with current mobile technology or something that we don't even know that's being developed inside Nvidia that has a 10-year partnership with Nintendo we'll have to wait and see what Nintendo does either in response to those systems or just as the natural order after all we've had the 3DS we have the 3DS XL we have the new Nintendo 3DS and the new Nintendo 3DS XL then we have the 2DS so we don't really know and with switch we've already had obviously the base switch then we have the slightly upgraded model switch which is basically just better battery life because it's probably using a new design chipset which is also featured on the Nintendo switch light which is why that also despite having a smaller battery has longer battery life but we have seen these 3 different models of switch 2 of them that well one that basically replaces the other and then obviously the light with cutback features you would figure that must mean there's going to be a boosted switch in the future with additional features or at least more performance or it'll be strictly under TV system we don't really know what Nintendo's got planned it's all guesswork at this point based on little bits of information we get from rumors reports hiring posts linked in profiles and whatever the case might be it's all guesswork at this point to connect dots and try to figure things out if you're interested in maybe the perspective of oh my gosh Nintendo's gonna release a super powerful switch pro or switch to maybe check out Super Metal Dave 64 channel he does he kind of leans towards that direction and provides all of his evidence for that if you think the opposite of that well keep thinking the opposite of that because really none of us know but that's what Nintendo might combat the systems coming in what if I told you that Microsoft has actually opened a pathway for switch even as is switch today to continue to get third party support beyond next year what if I told you that triple a games such as MLB the show which by the way is going multi-platform now with its new contract could potentially come to switch next year and a year after in the year after that and not really be you know that much of a downgraded version sure we're you know less FPS and stuff like that but I mean it wouldn't need to necessarily be a completely different game kind of like you know if you guys remember Madden and stuff back on the Wii Madden on Wii was not even remotely the same game as Madden on the other systems we're talking legitimate third party ports and the reason is because Microsoft is apparently launching at least two platforms when the next Xbox launches and one of them has been announced in Scarlett but the other one is kind of behind the scenes and they're all going to be Scarlett platforms but they have code names behind the scenes that aren't Scarlett and those code names are basically Anaconda and Lockhart and we have a report from Windows Central a very reliable place that only puts this stuff up when it's fairly legit and we're gonna go through this report just to look at what these systems are and then I'll explain how switch is somehow still in the game because of what Microsoft is doing very interesting so let's let's get into it all right so inside inside the target specs of the next project Scarlett Anaconda Lockhart etc so Scarlett's the overall name of the brand we don't know if it's gonna keep that that name when it launches probably not and then Anaconda Lockhart are the behind scene systems that that make up the Scarlett brand all right just to give some background there so Microsoft is gearing up to reveal two product tax for next-gen consoles complete with a more affordable skew dubbed Lockhart and a more beastly premium skew codenamed Anaconda we don't know what they'll look like and I need that stuff and in 2019 reveal video Xbox cloud architect Karim Chaudry said Scarlett would eat monsters for breakfast and indeed Anaconda looks as though we'll be able to according to several sources from earlier Microsoft plans Anaconda is targeting around 12 teraflops of performance now this is just like a GPU performance metric is is not tell you the whole story with performance teraflops is an important metric but it's not the only metric that matters but in this case 12 teraflops would be basically taking two Xbox one X's and duck taping them again together Xbox one X has six teraflops the GPU performance so it's like I said having two of those duct tape together which is still a pretty beastly system but there's more advanced tickling I mean all the SSDs the better RAM the better a lot lots of things that are just better but 12 teraflops of performance is very impressive the Xbox one X is a six Xbox one S has 1.4 Lockhart conversely will support around four teraflops of performance I want you to remember that number four teraflops of performance for Lockhart which is actually two teraflops worse than the Xbox one X but again this doesn't mean that it's actually worse than Xbox one X a GTX 1070 as an example is actually less teraflops of performance than older AMD cards that you know put out six teraflops but the 1070 actually performs better because there's more to this than just teraflops just want to keep this in perspective because it's very unlikely that Lockhart's going to be outperformed by the X overall anyways according to marketing materials we see previously it is being positioned as the most affordable entry point to next gen experiences because it doesn't sound like PlayStation has anything planned but just a straight-up PlayStation 5 teraflop doesn't really tell the entire story custom tech being baked into the consoles for example Microsoft already spoke about ray tracing will be a factor in next gen systems and while Lockhart is less raw power than the X so all the capabilities are elevated further than the X in various ways both Lockhart and Anaconda report sport eight CPU cores targeting around 3.5 gigahertz which does blow the switch out of the water with Anaconda reaching a bit higher per core than Lockhart so maybe 3.8 or something like that that's that's pretty normal if it's a beefier system with better cooling the relatively modest increase in clock speed over the previous gen systems might seem mild but vast improvements to caching new silicone architecture and other general bespoke proprietary optimizations will see Anaconda perform anywhere up to four to five times better than Xbox one X basically Ryzen they're gonna be using AMD Ryzen CPUs and Ryzen even though Ryzen has lower clock speeds than say maybe an Intel chip or similar clock speeds of what they were using before it's just a better overall performing chip with modern architecture and I literally am editing this video with a Ryzen 2700X I can definitely say it's a lot better than people might realize AMD really brought it with this Ryzen line and that does appear to be what both the Xbox and PlayStation will be using so this isn't anything to knock on PlayStation five we just don't really have specs or even rumored specs out there for PlayStation 5 yet all right let me see Anaconda before anywhere up to four to five times better than the Xbox one X even though it's only double the tariff ops again there's a lot more that goes into it just the tariff ops if targets are met we're told that at least Anaconda will guarantee 13 gigabytes of RAM for games which is a lot I have 32 gigabytes of RAM on my computer running at 3200 speed and DDR4 it man I haven't seen a game use more than 8 even Red Dead Redemption 2 so that's a crazy amount of RAM available for games 3 gigabytes on the OS so it'll have 16 total the Xbox comparison offered a maximum of 9 gigabytes for games but it was kind of if he had if you could get that extra gig so which was perfect really because most games don't need more than 8 gigs of RAM as I said I game on PC when I have an overload and RAM because I video edit and I still don't have any games that come close to touching more than 8 gigs but it's nice to have all that RAM because you know if you're multitasking you have Chrome open Google Chrome infamously eats RAM the Xbox person offered a maximum of 9 gigabyte for games which varied based on what the OS was doing Microsoft also said and it's revealed it SSD could be used to throw in virtual RAM as necessary so virtual RAM is a thing that hasn't really people always say you could download more RAM that's kind of an ongoing joke in the PC world oh just download more RAM you can convert SSD space into virtual memory basically make it into a former RAM it's just not as good it's not really something that I think anyone's realistically going to be doing but the you know that you could throw in more virtual RAM you could do that with any SSD so I mean you can do it with a spinning disk and it's really slow so let's just leave it at this people aren't going to take advantage of that it's it's a dumb dumb thing that's only useful in very select tasks and gaming is not one of those tasks anyways one huge focus of area for lockout and a conda is the MBME SSD proprietary tech this is something that Nintendo can't do anything about we're talking gen 4 SSD these are the fastest hard drives on the planet I'm sure the Xbox and PlayStation won't be using the fastest of the fastest because that'll be available on PCs as the tech advances further but Nintendo can't do anything about that they're gonna have faster faster hard drives and stuff you know almost no load times things that take like a minute to load right now on the X will take like seconds Nintendo can't do anything about that that's just a pure speed bandwidth limit that Nintendo doesn't cross because they're not using gen 4 Ryzen technology Intel will eventually get there as well and all the stuff in using gen 4 but right now it's only AMD side of things that has this tech so to get rid of load times completely I kind of talked about that let me see here the inclusion of the project xCloud across Xbox system like to start gaming via streaming yep we already know about xCloud and based on what happened with Google Stadia I think xCloud's in a much better position but we'll see we don't know the how that pricing is going to work out exactly and how well it's going to perform anyways too all right next year it's all we'll save any time increasing read speeds by gigabytes per second again this has to do with the fastest SSD tech in the world going from spinning disks which is what the Xbox one X even uses we've been told that while many games will function across generations so again games are still going to support Xbox one X and original Xbox next gen features such as ray tracing dynamic reflections and the like will probably be exclusive to Lockhart Nana Kanda her new APIs that come as part of the game core OS which is also part of the window core OS effort we've been covering a window core a I'm not going to dive too deep into that because that now now that really gets into Microsoft but yeah they're developing some game specific stuff in their windows core iOS which is going to be great for PC and for Xbox that's probably will be able to run all previous gen games that are available on Xbox one today including backwards compatible games the Microsoft is already announced yeah which they already said literally day one you could put any Xbox one disk in it'll it'll install and work you can download your digital library it'll just work that's really how everything should happen I think when switch two comes out I really hope it's just fully backwards compatible day one without having to put an extra work and I don't mean fully combat backwards compatible like the Wii U was where it was like a separate thing I was basically they put a Wii inside the Wii U and then you had a launcher totally separate system like having two computers and in one box yeah that was that was dumb I mean it's better to exist than not exist but I hope that it's just fully backwards compatible which is gonna have a lot to do attack Xbox and Microsoft can do this because they moved to x86 x86 is widely and easily a PC standard that you know moves across generations that's why games work on multiple generations of hardware on the PC side I'm moving on down the Xbox one x games will be unlocked frames and dynamic resolution but perform better on scarlet blah blah blah my son world struggles maintain 60 FPS and Xbox one x even in its performance mode even without an update it should manage to hit its target FPS without an issue in scarlet games also be able to take advantage increase SSD load speed blah blah blah on it goes and the point of talking about that is not to like tout Microsoft's horn because it's gonna be a wonderful system I'm sure PlayStation 5 is going to be absolutely wonderful as well pricing is gonna be key there you know is it gonna be 500 600 bucks for the one is the other one the other one's rumored to be like 200 bucks like that's crazy if they can get Lockhart out next-gen better than Xbox one X of 200 that that's a really enticing price point I think it's just interesting on the whole that they're doing this they're doing this two tiered system because the switch itself I don't know if you guys know this actually let's go ahead and just look at GPU power compare now this is this is from gain spots so think what you want of it and it's not 100% accurate because the exact performance of switch isn't perfectly at one teraflop it fluctuates a lot and it depends on if you're in handheld mode or docked mode on now it depends if you own this switch or if you own a switch light so like that's another thing you have to take into consideration so that one teraflop of performance isn't an exactly perfect summation of what the switch can do or what the switch is doing all the time but there it is it's about one tflop which is behind the Xbox one behind Xbox one s and behind the PlayStation 4 but as you could see close enough to the Xbox one specifically that you can reasonably get some ports again though there's a difference of RAM there's a difference in CPU architecture and all that so there's a lot of differences that make things much more difficult on switch I mean there's only like what 4 gigs of RAM I think on switch that's nothing that that's that's absolutely nothing compared to everyone else now that means heck that's nothing compared to my phone that being said the reason I bring this up is the switch right now you know Microsoft talked about you know most games are still going to be available on the old Xbox system and the new one just with better stuff this could be like that for years it was like that for years as past generation when you have a four tflop performance system out there and the switch is at one tflop basically their their lockers actually slightly below the PlayStation 4 Pro in terms of raw GPU output that's going to keep switch in the realm of getting third-party games even on the current switch even on this one right here an OG launch model switch it's going to be able to stay within the realm of possibility to get third-party ports as long as third-party games are actually coming out on lockers which why won't they because it's likely going to have a fairly decent market share being the budget entry into the next gen and I think that's important for Nintendo and it's even more important if Nintendo does do a switch pro that hits 1.5 tflops it's 1.8 and it's basically a portable PlayStation 4 maybe that's the switch to or something I don't know but if that happens that just makes things even easier for third parties to justify hey look we're going to make that jump from Lockhart switch it's just going to happen switches a huge audience they're buying the Witcher 3 they're buying Mortal Kombat they're buying all these Final Fantasy games they're buying these Assassin's Creed ports you know Assassin's Creed 4 I think I think just recently came out on switch I know that's not exactly the best example we would love to see origins or something on switch but still it's nice to see third parties are coming to switch and that's the biggest fear I think people have who bought switch at like playing third-party triple-a games is even if we get late ports like we're still getting the outer worlds next year you know we're still gonna get Doom Eternal after it comes to other platforms like we're still getting these games are they going to vanish when Scarlett and PlayStation 5 come out and the answer is it doesn't look like that's going to happen Microsoft just did something that's going to keep Nintendo in the game if Lockhart is real and this happens Nintendo is going to still be realistically in the realm of getting ports especially if Nintendo doesn't just stick with the base model switch for the next three four five years which I think we all know sometime in the next three four five years there's going to be some sort of new model switch that's more powerful coming out right like Nintendo's not just going to sit here and rest on their laurels are there I feel like they're gonna still push something forward so even if it's not next year it doesn't really matter to me what matters is that Microsoft in making a smart business move for themselves making an interesting business move at least and it will see how it performs on the market we know you know switch light is cheaper than switch but sells worse than switch so we don't really know what's going to happen but with all of this in consideration obviously the Xbox could flop you know I I think that Nintendo is going to be just fine with third parties I think this just got rid of my fears that we're gonna stop getting third-party ports of games you know Microsoft fully admitting games are still gonna be coming to the OG Xbox even after these systems launch you know you have them saying hey and even when things are next-gen and have ray tracing and all that you know we're gonna have a lower performance model which in theory could make porting the switch even easier to do so I know for some people that are tech heads that want everything to push the max of a max they might be a little disappointed because obviously games that are specifically made for say the most powerful box on the planet might not downscale as well and they might not want it wanted to downscale you know like a Red Dead Redemption 3 or GTA 6 or whatever is next but I do think that this is good news for Nintendo fans this is good news for the switch and it's funny that Microsoft's the one doing it since Microsoft and Nintendo have been the ones that have been really buddy buddy towards the end of the Xbox one generation here we know we've been getting some Xbox games I'll say Minecraft has been a smashing hit on switch over a million copies sold in just Japan alone let alone what's been happening all over the world with Minecraft on switch we're talking physical copies we're not even talking to the digital ones where Minecraft is always more popular we're talking Ori and the Blind Forest and Cuphead and like we don't know what what the future is gonna bring between Microsoft and Nintendo but Microsoft did basically just you know maybe unintentionally through a bone to Nintendo it said hey we're gonna make it so third parties can still bring stuff to you because we're gonna bring a next-gen system that everyone has to support and that's gonna make it more able to downgrade to you so we'll see what happens I think this is exciting stuff that not just the next gen stuff but the idea that even if you bought this launch day switch you might not have to worry for a few years I think that that is just an amazing thing when it comes to third-party support we've seen that AAA third-party sport has been growing on switch a lot of us don't want it to shrink anytime soon because we know you know Nintendo's next-gen system can't be coming for at least two or three years so switch needs them remain viable with their parties during that period and Microsoft is basically ensuring that that is a distinct possibility so thanks Microsoft for inadvertently helping out Nintendo a bit let me know you guys think down in the console low about Xbox Scarlett the anaconda version a lot cart version what you think about switches potential future with third-party games is going to be after next year because I'm a majority of next year you know the next-gen platforms won't be out so well they'll be talked about and well they'll be hyped third-party games that come out in 2019 should realistically still be able to come to switch you know we should be beginning NBA 2k20 and stuff like that that shouldn't even be a concern next year it's gonna be 2021 when we got it we're really gonna get that next NBA 2k game I hope so and I think that this just lends credence to the fact that we still will anyway so let me know to think about down the console I am with the rubber that's from Nintendo Prime I want to thank you so much for tuning in if you like this video like it if you don't I guess drop a dislike subscribe for more content and one final note I do want to apologize after they're not being a prime news over the weekend I was having a big issue with my editing software for a few days the issues now resolve but it's one of those things where prime news is very time sensitive on Sundays so you releasing on a Monday or Tuesday just doesn't make sense it's a last week recap and then another video I was working I was time sensitive as well that I had to cancel so hey whatever you got this video today I hope you enjoyed it and yeah hopefully we don't have any more hiccups like that but you know things happen all right I'll catch you guys in the next video


Hey everyone, today we've got a multi-billion dollar Ponzi scheme, Coinbase making a whole lot of money, Binance returning to the US, and the largest dusting attack in history. This is Jackson, and I'm Molly Jane, bringing you the Daily Crypto News at Cointelegraph. A $3 billion Chinese Ponzi scheme has been linked to the latest Bitcoin market crash, which saw a price drop of 15% from August 13th to August 15th. Since then, Bitcoin has been hovering around $10,000. As one of our news editor has said, it's like a wrecking ball against anyone taking positions on either side of 10K. Dovi Wan, the founding partner of blockchain-based investment company Primitive Ventures, linked the price drop to an unknown address that has been incessantly liquidating 100 Bitcoin batches on crypto exchange Binance. Dovi often posts hot tips from China. She's pretty reliable for digging up that little-known news from Asia. Anyway, Wan believes this address is linked to PlusToken, a Chinese Ponzi scheme that she believes scammed around 200,000 Bitcoin from its users and is now trying to liquidate its holdings following the arrest of its core team members by Chinese police about two months ago. However, research by token analyst co-founder Sid Shikhar suggests that none of the addresses associated with PlusToken are exchange-owned. This is from Bloomberg. Although Cointelegraph has been covering this with research from CypherTrace, check out our article here. So in a tweet on August 15th, the token analyst said, we take a look at the addresses associated with the PlusToken team and solve it out of the involved addresses only if you had any material Bitcoin balance and or moved funds recently. Check back on our site for a more in-depth analysis from our editorial team into whether or not Wan's hypothesis holds water. So Barclays has reportedly cut ties with Coinbase. This may end Coinbase's user access to the UK's faster payment service, a service that typically reduces payment times between different bank accounts from three days to just a few seconds. This new development is adding to real a time of turmoil for Coinbase in the UK because there were previous announcements this month the exchange will be dropping support for Zcash in the UK. There were also some accusations online that the Spanish bank Santander is blocking UK customers from depositing their fiat funds to the exchange platform. However, the Santander news was denied by the bank itself, who said that they do not block payments to any legitimate company. However, in certain circumstances, we will refer payments for additional security checks where we believe there may be a higher risk of fraud. Also this week, Coinbase Custody acquired Zapo's institutional business. So Coinbase just acquired Zapo, but what actually is Zapo and why is this a big deal? So Zapo itself is a major crypto wallet provider and it's actually been in talks with Coinbase Custody since this spring about this acquisition. And Zapo is actually kind of cool because they store their crypto in literal vaults built in the Swiss Alps. Literal vaults? Not virtual. No, like an actual vault built into a mountain. This puts Coinbase Custody's assets under custody at $7 billion, making it the world's largest crypto custodian by assets under custody. So Coinbase Custody now claims that it stores on behalf of more than 120 clients in 14 different countries and according to a tweet from CEO Brian Armstrong, they are seeing $200 to $400 million a week in new crypto deposits come in from institutional customers. I guess we're going to have to see if there are any competitors coming up to be as big as Coinbase in the US. One competitor possibly we know is Binance, which apparently is going to be coming back to the US within two months according to CZ. In an interview yesterday, he said, I don't want to promise any fixed dates, but there's a lot of work being done and there's a lot of things going on in flux. But I would say in a month or two. So CZ right now is very optimistic about the ability for crypto to thrive in the US and this is going on right now despite the government's regulatory ambiguity. He also cited the country's clear legal framework for traditional financial services as evidence that the environment for crypto will eventually improve. I mean, we've been seeing this in the US recently with all of the Senate and congressional hearings about Facebook's Libra and then about just cryptocurrency, blockchain privacy in general. So I think that there is room in the US for them to become really a good leader in regulation. But there's also danger, which is why they need regulation. On August 10th, Binance actually tweeted that a dusting attack had occurred on Litecoin and this is the first time an attack of this large of a scale has occurred. Can you explain what a dusting attack is, Jackson? A dusting attack essentially is when someone sends a small amount of crypto, like a small amount of Litecoin to many different wallets. And it's just so small that you would probably not even notice it. And once you spend or transact with that crypto, the person who sent it originally is then able to trace all of your transactions that you make with that. And that opens you up to a whole host of issues. People gain information about you and they can use that to blackmail you. Like what are some examples of how they could blackmail you? So I guess some examples would be if you had previously used cryptocurrency to buy something online, perhaps from an illegal marketplace. They don't have to know your name and address in order to get information about you that you don't want known. So that's what a dusting attack is. But what really happened is on the 10th, Binance identified 50 addresses, at least their Litecoin addresses that received a very small amount of Litecoin as part of this large-scale dusting attack. This is the first time a large-scale attack of this nature has occurred. Jan Hoppel, co-founder of blockchain data provider Glassnode, looked into the dusting attack to confirm the extent of it. So although Binance had initially reported that 50 users had been affected, Hoppel believes the scale was much larger with almost actually 300,000 Litecoin addresses, very large difference, showing signs of this dusting. As to the motivation of the attack, Hoppel told Cointelegraph in a recent interview, quote, the person behind the dusting attack owns a mining pool based out of Russia, EMCD IO. They reached out to express that their intent was to advertise their mining pool to the users of Litecoin. However, it's unclear from our perspective or anyone else's as to whether there were alternative motives. The owner of the pool was not aware that he was subjecting all these users to a dusting attack and spreading fear among the Litecoin community. It's not nice. No, and he actually has more to say. It's interesting to note that even if this was not the intent of the mining of the mining pool owner, he provided a base for malicious actors to analyze. You see, the person responsible for conducting the dusting attack doesn't necessarily have to be the one collecting the data. They can just merely be providing a service so that someone else can collect all the information and analyze it at a later date. So, Jackson, even if this mining pool didn't do it maliciously, what are some of the consequences that this, you know, dusting attack means? Well, like Mr. Apple said, another service could piggyback off of the information that was gained from this mining pool spreading this dust. And that could be used for malignant purposes. We could also potentially see this as a way to almost data mine cryptocurrency users, which is something that we haven't really seen before on a large scale. This could be a serious threat to people's privacy and it will make people feel very unsafe about how they spend their Litecoin. So far, the market does not seem to be affected by this. Trading volumes have actually been up 4%. But as terms for privacy and what this means moving forward, it's definitely something that people will have to keep an eye on.


Welcome to the committee's third meeting in 2019. I ask you please to make sure that your mobile phones are on silent. We move on to a gender item 1, which is the UK fisheries bill, a legislative consent memorandum. It has been lodged by Fergus Ewing, the Cabinet Secretary for the Rural Economy. The LCM covers the fisheries bill, currently being considered by the UK Parliament. The UK Government regard areas of the bill that require legislative consent from the Scottish Parliament. The Scottish Government agrees with the UK Government's assessment of where consent is needed, except in relation to clauses 18 to 19. 18 and 19 provide the Secretary of State to set the UK's fishing opportunities, quota and effort, and duties for a calendar year. The UK Government does not consider that consent from the Scottish Parliament is required, sorry, is necessary, as it's viewed that these clauses relate to reserved matters. However, the Scottish Government believes that the legislative consent is necessary. The Scottish Government is seeking an amendment clause 18 so that determination made under clause 18 in so far as they relate to Scotland should be only taken with the consent of Scottish ministers. The Scottish Government is also awaiting DEFRA's reasoning as to why they do not believe that consent is required for clauses 20, 29 and 30. The Scottish Government indicates in the LCM that it does not intend to lodge a legislative consent motion for the bill at this time. It considers that the approach taken to the bill is not consistent with devolved responsibilities. The Scottish Government is seeking urgent discussions with the UK Government on how to strengthen and protect the Sewell Convention. The memorandum states that the Scottish Government will consider progress in these discussions in deciding its position on seeking legislative consent for the bill as its UK Parliament consideration proceeds. In its report on the delegated powers in the bill, the DPLR committee recommends that the committee, as a lead committee, considers what role is envisaged for the Scottish Parliament in scrutinising the decision of the Scottish ministers to consent to any regulations being made by the Secretary of State under certain provisions that relate to devolved powers. As a lead committee, we are required to reflect on the memorandum and then consider whether we are content with its terms. We then will need to report our findings to the Parliament. Can I invite any members who would like to make a comment on this to make it now steered? Thank you very much, convener. I am not going to talk about the policy content of the fisheries bill—that is for another day. I am only interested at this stage in the process by which the UK fisheries bill is taking forward. The fact that the Scottish Government and the UK Government have not yet bottomed out in relation to causes 20, 29 and 30, whether there is an agreement or a disagreement on whether legislative consent is required for those clauses means that any approval or withholding of approval that we might make today has to be conditional, because I think that we need to kind of know. On that basis, I am relatively content to note with the caveat that we would wish the Scottish Government to keep us up to date. In relation to what the DPLR committee has said in relation to regulations, there is an interesting point that I think we should note as a committee as well, that there is not a legislative consent motion process in relation to regulations that are dealt with at Westminster. I do not think that the Scottish Government, as far as I can determine, is objecting to that happening. For Parliament, there is a wider issue. I am uncertain as to who we should deal with that to be candid in terms of what is happening. I have nothing to say, but there is a little lacuna in our process, as I would suggest. It might be that that is something for the standards committee to contemplate, not just in relation to that, but more widely. John Lennon, I think that you wanted to say something as well. Thank you, convener. I would agree with my colleague Stewart Stevenson. I think that first things are hugely important issues. To that extent, there is a lot of common ground between the two, the UK and the Scottish Government. I think that that is very helpful. I support the Scottish Government's position on clause 18 here, and I believe that consent is required. I wonder whether one of our proposals is, and rightly, that we are kept updated by the Scottish Government, given that there are always two sides to a position, whether we could similarly write the UK Government to ask it to explain its position. Paragraph 14, where the Scottish Parliament's confidence in the operation of the legislative consent convention could be restored, is important. I think that everyone having confidence in the Sule system is important, so if that could be considered as well, please. As far as the content is concerned, I agree with John Lennon just now, but I depart on the process. Our role as a committee is to scrutinise Scottish ministers giving consent to an LCM. There is no LCM before us, and I think that the proposal is to ask the Scottish Government to keep us informed as to what is happening down the line, so that when an LCM comes forward, we then have a role. I think that the only money is the water if the committee starts writing to the UK Government. I think that we should be focused on what our role actually is. John Lennon, you want to come back and then please say something. I can see that that is a point of view. However, our job is to scrutinise also what we are told by the Scottish Government. Similarly, no one had any issues when we rightly took evidence from Mr Gove and the important issues surrounding agriculture, so I think that it is important that we get to both versions of events, please. Peter, you want to say something and then John Mason? I am very much in support of Mike's position as far as writing to the UK Government that is concerned. I think that our role and our responsibility lies here and lies with the Scottish Government, and I think that is where it should remain. Yes, I agree that our responsibility is to examine the Scottish Government, but that includes normally taking evidence from parties who potentially disagree with the Scottish Government, so I think that the more evidence we get, the better. Jamie Hepburn Very briefly, in your opening statement, you mentioned that the Scottish Government was awaiting feedback from UK ministers and DEFRA rather than writing to the UK Government for that information. Could I suggest that the information that is shared with the Scottish Government is shared with the committee? I think that there is some way to go before we bottom out this whole issue on the Fisheries Bill. Taking into account what people have said and the general opinion around the committee table, I think that it would be right to note to the Scottish Government the contents of the memorandum, but request also that we are updated. I believe that the UK Government should update us and keep us informed, as well as the Scottish Government on its proposed amendments to the bill. I think that that would help us to make an informed decision, and that should be on the discussions and the operation as well of the Seoul Convention to make sure that we are happy with that. We should also call on the Scottish Government to provide details of how it intends to ensure that there is a role for the Scottish Parliament in scrutinising any decisions by Scottish ministers to consent to any regulations made under clauses 9, 3, 11, 2, 31, 1 and 33 of the bill that has been made by the Secretary of State. I think that that seems to be a general view around the table as a student. Just on that last point, I am not fundamentally disagreeing with how you have laid it out, but I think that the Parliament is master of the Parliament's process, and it is not for the Government to decide. Although it would be helpful if the Government acts in the way that you describe, and I did suggest that we perhaps invite the Standards Committee to consider that. Now, it may be that there is not support around the table for that proposal, but I would like to test the waters on that particular aspect, if I may. On the principle that the Parliament is responsible for Parliament's process, it is not for the Government. Full agreement, we have to be very careful that I objected last time when a minister suggested what the committee should be doing, and I think that that is entirely the wrong approach. We as a parliamentary committee should be in charge of our own affairs, and I agree entirely with what Stuart just said. So, by calling on the Scottish Government to ensure that there is a role and for us to look at that, surely that is what we are asking and believe is the right way as a committee to move forward, Stuart. No, I am perfectly content that we insist the Scottish Government respects the Scottish Parliament, and I am no difficulty with that. I am merely making the additional point that it seems, and I suspect that Mr Rumbles is agreeing with me, that there is a potential, and I only put it at that level for there being a lacuna in our processes, that the Standards Committee could look at it over two minutes and decide that they disagree and not look at it. It is up to them. We do not control what they do. I am only suggesting that we invite them to think about it. We could certainly include that within the report and see what position they take on it, that may be a decision for them, and we can then reflect on that decision. Are we happy therefore to move forward along the lines that I have suggested with that addition within the report? Okay, we then now move on, thank you, to a gender item 2, which is an item under the European Union Withdrawal Act. It is the Trans-European Transport and Connecting Europe Facility, EU Withdrawal Revocation Regulations 2019. We have received a consent notification in relation to one UKSI as detailed on the agenda. This covers the Connecting Europe Facility. The instrument is being laid in the UK Parliament in relation to the European Union Withdrawal Act 2019, and this SI is categorised as A, to the extent that the transition from the EU to a UK framework would involve no policy change being made, but a simple revocation. Does anyone have any comments on that? Just the obvious comment that this has to be decided by tomorrow and in terms of time, that is not a very satisfactory place to be. I perfectly understand the logistic issues that are around this whole business and civil servants. I mean to work extremely long hours to do it, but I do think that we should formally note that. I think that it would be important also to note the extremely heavy work load of the committee in trying to achieve all that we are trying to do in relation to transport bills and other bills that we have been asked to consider. Does the committee agree to write to the Scottish Government to confirm its contempt for the consent for the UKSI referred to in the notification to be given and to note a request to a response from the Scottish Government on the wider policy matters that have been identified? Having also noted the short timescale involved and the heavy commitment on this committee, we are agreed. We are now going to move in to private for the next part of the meeting.

People have been collecting things for many years. Rulers of ancient civilizations in Egypt, Babylonia, China and India used to collect objects to place in their tombs when they died. Later in the 17th century, people began collecting pieces of artwork which has continued to this day. Nowadays, people collect almost anything from Funko pops to hotel do not disturb signs. People want to gather things that mean something to them or give them some sort of enjoyment. And if you're a 90s slash early 2000s kid, it is very likely that something that means something or once meant something to you are trading cards. A very popular phenomenon at the time, trading cards took over people's lives. One of these was the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG, a trading card game released in North America in 2002. Players and collectors have been gathering their favorite cards and sets from this game for over 20 years, but it begs the question, which Yu-Gi-Oh set is the absolute best to collect? Before we get started, I'm going to be giving away a booster box of Yu-Gi-Oh's 25th anniversary pharaoh servant.

Number 10, Rarity Collection 25th Anniversary. This might be a strange start to the list because Rarity Collection 25th Anniversary is a set that has yet to release. But the construction of this set will make it one of the coolest and most fun sets to collect in Yu-Yoh history. With each of the 79 cards in the set coming in all seven Rarities, this will be a massive 553 unique card set to collect. The main thing holding this set back for massive collectible potential is the card pool. Essentially, every card revealed so far is a playable card for the current meta with none being there for collector value. If this set were to contain iconic cards like Blue Eyes, Summoned Skull, Chaos Ember, Dragon, and Genzo, it would be one of the best sets to ever be printed in a collector's eyes. But with it being mostly meta cards like Ash Blossom, Nibiru, and Infinite Impermanence, it will still be an incredible set but not as collectible as it could be. Number nine, The Duelist Genesis. The Duelist Genesis is our only Yu-Yoh 5D set in the top 10. This 111 card master set released in the TCG on September 2nd, 2008. It was the first release in the 5D series and it is well known for containing the first of the Siner Dragon's Stardust Dragon, which comes in three different Rarities in the set, Ultra Rare, Ultimate Rare, and the legendary Ghost Rare. This set is carried in a large way due to the aforementioned Stardust Dragon but also has a few other big cards that bolster its collectability. Being the first ever 5D set, it is the very first to contain synchros. Cards like Goyo Guardian and Red Dragon Archvene are iconic monsters in their own way. Goyo was instantly playable and it is still a great card in Edison format while the Red Dragon Archvene is an iconic Jack Atlas card in the anime. Other cards like Emergency Teleport, Charge of the Light Brigade, and even the Rare Herald of the Orange Light really support this set as an awesome one. But this set is still one of the shakiest on the list due to relying heavily on the Stardust Dragon but it is enough to sneak it onto the top 10 list. Number eight, Pharaoh Servant. Pharaoh Servant is the fourth core set released in the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG, debuting on October 20th, 2002. This set contains one of the most iconic secret rares in Yu-Gi-Oh history, Genzo. Well known for its appearance in the anime, it was also a very powerful card in the trading card game for several years, completely shutting down trap cards while it is on the field. But this isn't the only card that makes Pharaoh Servant awesome. The Ultra Rares in the set are cards like Buster Blader, Thousand Eyes Restrict, Call of the Haunted, and the Legendary Fisherman, which are all important cards in the Duelist Kingdom arc of the anime. It doesn't stop there, the rest of the set has more anime cards like Gear Free, The Iron Knight, Thousand Eyes Idol, and the Parasite Parasite. Containing all of these cards from such a recognizable part of the show definitely makes this set one that collectors of nostalgia will flock to. The only slight negative regarding this set is that it's a bit easier to find than some of the other sets, slash cards in the list, and therefore will not quite have as much demand per card. This could also be seen as a positive if one wants to collect all the cards on a budget. Number seven, Battles of Chaos. Battles of Chaos is the newest set on the list, besides the set that hasn't come out, of course, released February 11th, 2022. But it is also one of the best collectible sets to release in a long time. I included it in my top 10 most collectible sets of 2022 and I have become even more bullish on it since. This set is new enough to contain Starlight Rares, the hardest Yu-Gi-Oh! Rarity to pull in terms of pull rate, and three of the five Starlights in this set are extremely collectible. The Dark Magicians, which depicts Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl together, the Illusion of Chaos, a ritual version of the Dark Magician, and Blue Eyes Jet Dragon, which is a reference to the Blue Eyes Jet plane Kyberod in the anime. All of these already make an awesome set, but there is more. This set contains a 25th anniversary Dark Magician card that's artwork is based on its original manga appearance and has only been printed in the TCG once, and that's this time. The coolest part about this card is it can be pulled outside of the rare slot in the pack, making it possible to pull Starlight Rare as well as this card in a single pack. The negative side of this set is how new it is. Konami is on a reprinting rampage, making new versions or nearly the exact same versions in other sets. If Konami were to reprint Starlight Rares in this set, as 25th anniversary Rares, or they reprinted the manga artwork Dark Magician in another set, it would certainly hurt this set's collectability. Side note, reprints hurt newer sets a lot more than older sets because there is still easy access to the originals, and therefore they cannot grow in value with a cheaper alternative available. Older sets like the previously mentioned Ferro Servant can be reprinted over and over, and because the first edition print is so difficult to obtain, it still holds the original value. Number six, Elemental Energy. Elemental Energy is a core set from Yu-Gi-Oh GX, released on November 16th, 2005. This set is actually one of the least playable sets of all time, containing mostly terrible cards for the TCG. However, when it comes to collecting, this set has a lot of highlights. In this era of Yu-Gi-Oh, every card rare and above also could be pulled as an ultimate rare. The highest rarity in the set. There are numerous high quality ultimate rears like fan favorite Elemental Heroes, such as Tempest, Wild Edge, Blade Edge, and of course, Shining Flare Wingman. The strong fan support of this archetype, both in the anime and TCG, makes these extremely popular cards. And speaking of popular archetypes, this set was the debut of the Dark World cards. Another fan favorite archetype that involved discarding your own cards to get powerful effects. There are several of these cards in Ultimate Rare bringing even more collectible value to this set. And finally, this set does have one playable card for the TCG, the still-used Pot of Avarice. While a very strong collectible set, there are still a couple of problems. Because it is an early GX set, these boxes are extremely rare, making it difficult to ever open packs. This also could be a good thing if you want your cards to be more scarce. And it is a very small set, containing only 85 cards in the Master Set and 60 unique cards. Number five, Cybernetic Revolution. Cybernetic Revolution is a Yu-Gi-Oh GX set released on August 6th, 2005, just after the Goat Format Hay Day. It is one of the most well-known sets in Yu-Gi-Oh due to its association with the GX anime, as well as being a game-changing set in the TCG. It was also in the Ultimate Rare era mentioned in the previous set, so the best cards in the set were the Ultimate Rarity. The main draw to this set are the fan favorite Cyber Dragons. The most playable of these was Cyber Dragon itself, which allowed you to special summon a massive body to the field for free if your opponent already controlled a monster. This card in Ultimate Rare is about $1,000 raw. But there are other Cyber Dragons as well. The Forgotten About Step children, Proto Cyber Dragon and Cyber Barrier Dragon are not as well-known, but are both very cool cards. Then there are the Fusion monsters, Cyber Twin Dragon and Cyber Inn Dragon. Cyber Inn Dragon is one of the most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh cards that you can pull from a pack, making it a huge chase for most collectors. The negatives for this set are very similar to the Elemental Energy negatives beforehand, with it being a rare box and a small set, 85 card Master Set and 60 unique cards, just like Elemental Energy. Number four, Invasion of Chaos. Invasion of Chaos is the 10th core set in the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG released on March 1st, 2004. It was a game-breaking set that changed how the trading card game was played. This nostalgia for players of the time makes it a strong contender for one of Yu-Gi-Oh's most collectible sets of all time. The memories of blowing up the field with Chaos Emperor Dragon or summoning Black Luster Soldier and attacking twice for game makes this one of Yu-Gi-Oh's most memorable sets. All of the Chaos monsters in this set are very nice collection pieces, especially the previously mentioned CED, BLS and of course, the Dark Magician of Chaos, which was also a strong card in the game, but also has an anime Mandela effect. Many people remember this anime card in the original series, but it actually didn't appear into the GX anime. This set also includes strong spell cards like Dimension Fusion, which is still banned in 2023 and Smashing Ground, which is a strong removal spell and used in older formats. The negatives for this set are there are a lot of foil cards that are not very interesting. Insect Princess, Dark Mirror Force, Guardian Angel Joan, Manticore of Darkness, Black Tyrano and Levia Dragon Daedalus. These are not only foils, but ultras in the set. So opening the set, there are a small number of foils you really want to pull with most being average or below average in collectability. Number three, Gladiators Assault. Gladiators Assault is a late GX set released on November 14th, 2007. This set debuted the Gladiator Beast archetype, a deck that is very polarizing. You either love playing it or hate playing against it, but these cards aren't really the reason this set is so collectible. This set didn't have the same makeup as early GX sets, the small 60 card sets with only ultimate rares as chase cards. This set was a 95 card set that contained not only ultimate rares, but 15 secret rares and a ghost rare as well. These added rares make opening up glass much more exciting than the early GX sets. Also, the cards you can pull in this set are legendary. A few of these secret rares are some of the most desired cards in all of Yu-Gi-Oh! Magic Formula, Necroface and Gilgoth. These cards are extremely hard to pull and seem to be either short printed or exclusive to booster boxes in some way. But Glasses Insanity doesn't end there. It also contains a ghost rare Elemental Hero Chaos Nios. Simply having a ghost rare Elemental Hero would be enough to boost any set's collectability, but this one is different. Konami made a mistake when printing Gladiator's Assault and the previous set Tactical Evolution and somehow they mixed up the name of the previous ghost rare Rainbow Dragon and placed it onto the Elemental Hero Chaos Nios in Gladiator's Assault. This didn't happen on every ghost rare, but it is possible to pull both the regular Gladiator's Assault version and the error misprint version. So this makes opening packs of this extremely interesting because you could pull two separate ghosts one being a massive error. At this point, there are not many negatives for this set. It is a really awesome set to collect and there aren't any glaring issues. Number two, The Legend of Blue Eyes, White Dragon. The Legend of Blue Eyes, White Dragon is the very first set to release in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG debuting March 8th, 2002. Being Yu-Gi-Oh!'s first ever set makes this set a shoe in for the list, but that isn't the only reason that people want to collect LOB. It also contains some of Yu-Gi-Oh!'s most memorable and awesome cards like Dark Magician, Red Eyes, B Dragon, Monster Reborn, Guy of the Fierce Knight, as well as the Dragon Champion, one of the most well-known monsters ever, Exodia the Forbidden One, and of course, the powerful engine of destruction itself, the Blue Eyes, White Dragon. Containing so many huge anime cards in the foil slots makes for a really exciting opening and since this set gets reprinted every few years, it is pretty accessible to the public for pack opening. All of these reprints make collecting LOB an insane task if you want it to be. With nine different English printings, go check out my opening video of the other versions if you haven't seen that. You can spend years collecting each version specifically, or you can jumble them together for a quicker collecting experience. This is one of the best sets ever. The only slight negative is that there are not as many iconic anime cards in the common and rare slots as one might think there would be in the first set, but even then, this set is the very top tier for Yu-Gi-Oh! collectors. Finally, our number one most collectible set is here, Metal Raiders. Metal Raiders was the second core set to release in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, debuting June 26th, 2002. This might be somewhat controversial due to edging out Legend of Blue Eyes, but I think this set has even more to offer. LOB's strong points being its classic anime cards and potential collectability, due to there being so many prints, are shared by Metal Raiders, another set with nine prints as well. However, Metal Raiders has arguably more well-known anime cards in the set than LOB does. Containing both Gate Guardian and Thousand Dragon at Secret, Beast Skull Dragon, Summon Skull, Time Wizard, Mirror Force, Solemn Judgement, Change of Heart, and Barrel Dragon at Ultra Rare. Heavy Storm, Song of the Thunder, Suijin, Kazijin, Harpy Lady Sisters, Catapult Turtle, Garnisi Elephantus, and Caribo at Super Rare. Magician of Faith, Witch of the Black Forest, Sangan, Shadow Ghoul, and Great Moth at Rare, and Petite Moth, Harpy Lady, Baby Dragon, Castle of Dark Illusions, Cocoon of Evolution, Crass Clown, Feral Imp, Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts, Illusionist Faceless Mage, Limer Tank, and many more that I won't mention due to time at common. That's a lot of collectible cards in one set. This set contains by far the most number of well-known anime cards, making it a very nostalgic set to collect. It is also a much more playable set than LOB was, introducing a lot of cards that would be used for years to come. There are essentially no negatives to this set, but when making an argument against LOB, this being the second set does not quite hold as much weight as being the first TCG set ever. That is my top 10 lists.

This is a video looking at some past paper questions on approximations. Now there are several types of approximation that you're expected to be able to do. First of all, there's the Poisson approximation to a binomial distribution. Second, a normal approximation to a binomial distribution. And thirdly, a normal approximation to a Poisson distribution. So I'd like to give them a bit of revision. First of all, suppose that you've got a random variable with a binomial distribution. So x has the binomial distribution with parameters n and p, n being the number of trials and p being the probability of success. There are two possibilities. First of all, sometimes you can make a Poisson approximation. In other words, you can approximate x with a random variable y, which has a Poisson distribution with parameter lambda. And in that case, what you do is you choose lambda to be equal to n times p. And then x and y will have very similar distributions. Now the reason for saying that lambda should be n times p is that n times p is the expected value of x. And remember that lambda by definition is the expected value of y. So by setting lambda equals n times p, we're making sure that x and y have exactly equal means. The other approximation that you can do starting from a binomial distribution is a normal approximation. So in this case, we say that y has a normal distribution with parameters mu and sigma squared. The mean is mu and the variance is sigma squared. And in this situation, we say that mu should be equal to n times p. And sigma squared should be equal to np times 1 minus p. Again, the point of this is that np is the mean of x. So if we say that mu is np, we make sure that x and y have identical means. And also np times 1 minus p is the variance of x. So by setting sigma squared equals np times 1 minus p, we're making sure that x and y have identical variances. Okay, there's another thing to think about, and that's when these approximations are actually valid. So the Poisson approximation to the binomial is valid when n is large and p is very small when p is close to zero. On the other hand, the normal approximation to the binomial is valid when both np is greater than 5 and n times 1 minus p is greater than 5. In this case, we actually want p to be as close as possible to a half so that the normal distribution is symmetrical, not skewed one way or the other. Okay, the other thing that's possible is we're starting from a Poisson distribution. So x has the Poisson distribution with parameter lambda, lambda being expected number of events. And here there's only one possibility which is to use a normal approximation. So y will have a normal distribution with parameters mu and sigma squared. And here we say that mu is lambda, and sigma squared equals lambda. And once again, the point of this is that lambda is the mean of x. So by saying that mu equals lambda, we're making sure that x and y have identical means. And also, lambda is the variance of x. So by setting sigma squared equals lambda, we're making sure that x and y have identical variances. And this approximation is valid when lambda is greater than 10. We want lambda to be as large as possible, and the bigger it is, the better the approximation. Okay, that's almost it with the revision on approximations. We'll get on with the past paper questions very soon. But just a few tips. First of all, it sometimes happens that you have a choice between using a Poisson approximation and a normal approximation to a binomial because it could be that both sets of conditions are satisfied and both approximations appear to be valid. But what you should remember in this case is that you should never use a normal approximation to a binomial distribution if you can use a Poisson approximation instead. There are two reasons for that. First of all, a Poisson approximation is much easier for you to do. And secondly, it's going to be more accurate to use a Poisson approximation rather than a normal approximation. So what this means is that whenever you've got a binomial distribution, you should try and see if you can make a Poisson approximation first. And only if that doesn't work should you try and make a normal approximation instead. The second thing to bear in mind is that if you've got a binomial distribution and you try and make a Poisson approximation to it, you can't then make a normal approximation to your Poisson distribution. You can't go binomial to Poisson to normal because that's bound to be less accurate than going directly from a binomial distribution to a normal approximation. It's very important to remember this because you're going to try and make your Poisson approximation to the binomial first, and sometimes you'll find that that doesn't work. You've got a very high value of lambda and you might be tempted to say, oh well, that doesn't matter because I can now use a normal approximation to that. But that's wrong. Poisson doesn't go binomial to Poisson to normal. You've got to go directly from binomial to normal and make a normal approximation to the binomial distribution. And finally, you should remember that whenever you make a normal approximation to either the binomial distribution or the Poisson distribution, you have to make a continuity correction. In fact, you need to make a continuity correction whenever you're approximating a discrete random variable with a continuous one. Okay, so now let's get on with the questions. The first one I want to look at is question number 5 from January 2005. And this is about manufacturing things on a production line. Here you can see some workers at the Ford car plant manufacturing magnetos on a production line. And in the same place, they're making the actual cars. And in a more modern context, here are some planes being manufactured at the Boeing factory again on a sort of production line. So here's the question. And the best thing now will be for you to pause the video and to have a go at this question yourself. So pause the video and work out your answers to these questions before looking at my solutions. Okay, so let's do part A. First of all, the random variable here, the number of articles that are defective, has a binomial distribution with parameters 10 and 0.032. 10 because that's the number of articles, so the number of trials. And 0.032 because that's the probability of success. Success here being that an article is defective. Now we're asked to find the probability that x is equal to 2. And we're not going to be able to do this using the probability tables because the probability is an awkward one, 0.032. So we'll have to use the formula. And the formula says that that probability is 10 choose 2 times 0.032 squared times 0.968 to the power of 8. 0.968 is 1 minus 0.032. And if we work that out, that's going to be 10 times 9 over 2 times 0.032 squared times 0.968 to the power of 8, which is 0.0355 to four decimal places, and that's the answer. Okay, moving on to part B, we now take a sample of 100 articles. So this time the random variable has a binomial distribution with parameters 100 and 0.032. And obviously we're going to use an approximation here. So the first thing we should try is to use a Poisson approximation. And you can see that that's valid because here n, i.e. 100, is large and p, i.e. 0.032, is very small. It's close to zero. So we can say that y has the Poisson distribution with parameter lambda. And then we should fix lambda to be 100 times 0.032 so that the mean's correct. And that's 3.2. So this is going to be fine. We're going to use the Poisson approximation to this binomial distribution. And the question asks us the probability that x is less than 4. Now, again, lambda is an irritating value. It's 3.2. So we're not going to be able to use the tables, which only tell us about values of lambda that are multiples of 0.05. So we're going to have to use the formula. Now, the probability that x is less than 4 is the same as the probability that x is less than or equal to 3. In other words, it's the probability that x is 0, plus the chance that it's 1, plus the chance that it's 2, plus the chance that it's 3. And if we use the formula in each of these cases, we get something like this. Well, we get exactly this. So it's 3.2 to the power of 0 times e to the power of minus 3.2 over nought factorial and so on. Actually, that looks much simpler if we factorize. That's the same as e to the power of minus 3.2 times 3.2 to the power of 0 over 0 factorial, plus 3.2 to the power of 1 over 1 factorial, and so on. You might be able to write it down in this form directly. Okay, so if we look at that, that's e to the power of minus 3.2 times 1, because 3.2 to the power of 0 is 1, and 0 factorial is 1, so that's 1 over 1, plus 3.2 because 3.2 to the power of 1 over 1 factorial is 3.2 over 1, which is 3.2, plus 3.2 squared over 2, plus 3.2 cubed over 6, which is 0.6025 to four decimal places. Okay, now we can do the final part of the question, and this time it tells us that a random sample of a thousand is taken. So now x has the binomial distribution with parameters of thousand and 0.032. So again, we should start by trying to use a Poisson approximation, which is clearly valid because again, n is even larger than before, and p is the same, so n is still large and p is very small. So we could try and say that y has the Poisson distribution with parameter lambda, and then lambda would be a thousand times 0.032 because we have to multiply n and p together, which is 32. But now we've got a problem because we're certainly not going to be able to use the tables for the case where lambda is equal to 32, so we're supposed to be finding the probability that more than 42 are defective, and we don't want to have to use the formula to add up such a large number of different probabilities. So we've tried to use the Poisson approximation, but now we can see that it isn't really going to work. And the key thing here is that we now need to start again. We're going to end up making a normal approximation, but we don't want to make a normal approximation to this Poisson distribution. We want to go back to the start of the approximation to the binomial. So we'll say that y has the normal distribution with parameters mu and sigma squared, but mu needs to be a thousand times 0.032, so it has the right mean, so 32 as we just worked out, and sigma squared needs to be a thousand times 0.032 times 0.968. Remember, 0.968 was 1 minus 0.032, which is 30.976. So the mean for our normal distribution needs to be 32, and our variance needs to be 30.976. Okay, so we're asked for the probability that x is greater than 42, and that means that x will be 43 or more. And so when we make a normal approximation, we have to remember to make a continuity correction. And we should say that the chance that x is greater than 42 is about the same as the chance that y is greater than 42.5. That's because the cutoff for x is between 42 and 43, 42 we don't want, 43 we do want, and therefore the cutoff for y should be halfway between 42 and 43. Now that's 42.5. Now you find this probability by standardizing. That's the same as the chance that z is greater than 42.5 minus 32 over the square root of 30.976. Remember that z has the standard normal distribution. And if you do that sum, that's about the same as the chance that z is greater than 1.89. So now we need to go to the normal distribution tables and search for 1.89. It's just down the bottom of the page there. So the probability is 0.9706. But, Daly, we're asked for the probability that z is greater than 1.89, and that's going to be a small probability. So we should subtract 0.9706 from 1, giving us the answer 0.0294, which is the final answer to this question. So note that that was a really nice question, which started off with a binomial distribution, and in one part we had to use a calculation to find a binomial probability. In the second part we had to make a Poisson approximation and then do a calculation to find a Poisson probability. And in the final part we had to make a normal approximation and do a calculation to find a normal probability. OK, the next question I'd like to look at is number 3 from January 2003. And this is about a summer meadow with some weeds growing in it. So just as before, the best thing for you to do now is to pause the video and to have a go at this question before you listen to anything that I've got to say about it. OK, so for the first part we just need to say when a Poisson distribution is an appropriate model. And you should remember that there are four conditions. So you have to say that the weeds must grow randomly, independently, one at a time, and at the same rate in every part of the meadow. And that's all we need to say. In fact, you only need to say two of these conditions. I've just listed all four to remind you. OK, moving on, Part B. They've rather given away the fact that our random variable is going to have a Poisson distribution. But you can see why we're talking about a number of events, well, a number of weeds in an interval of space. And they've told us the mean rate of weeds. So our random variable here is going to have a Poisson distribution with some parameter lambda. And here lambda is going to be 4 times 0.7 because it's 0.7 weeds per meter squared and we're talking about 4 meters squared. So the expected number of weeds is going to be 2.8. Now the question is asking us for the probability that x is less than 3, which is the same as the probability that x is less than or equal to 2. But again, we're not going to be able to look up this probability using the tables because they only tell us about cases where lambda is something like 2.5 or 3. And here lambda is an irritating number between those two. It's 2.8. So we're going to have to use the formula again. The chance that x is less than or equal to 2 is the chance that it's 0 plus the chance that it's 1 plus the chance that it's 2. And if you apply the formula to those three probabilities, we get things like 2.8 to the power of 0 times e to the power of minus 2.8 over 0 factorial and so on. Or you might be able to write it straight away in this factorized form. So it's e to the power of minus 2.8 times 2.8 to the power of 0 over 0 factorial and so on. Which is e to the power of minus 2.8 times 1 plus 2.8 plus 2.8 squared over 2 which is 0.4695 to 4 decimal places. So that's the answer to this question. Okay, now we can do the final part of the question. And you can see that this time we need to make an approximation of some kind. But you know that there's only one approximation we can make to a Poisson distribution and that's a normal approximation. So we can see straight away that we're going to have to make a normal approximation to a Poisson distribution. So x has a Poisson distribution with parameter lambda and this time lambda is going to be 100 times 0.7 because we've got a plot of 100 square meters and it's not 0.7 weeds per square meter. So lambda is 70, the expected number of weeds is 70. So when we make our normal approximation we say that y has the normal distribution with parameters mu and sigma squared but mu needs to be 70 so that they have the same mean and sigma squared also needs to be 70 so that they have the same variance. So we're dealing with a normal distribution with mean 70 and variance 70. Now the question asks us the probability that x is greater than 66 and again we need to make a continuity correction. So when we say that the probability that x is greater than 66 that's about the same as the probability that y is greater than 66.5. So the cutoff for x is between 66 and 67. 66 isn't included in what we want but 67 is and so for y, if the cutoff is between 66 and 67 we should be looking at the probability that y is greater than 66.5. We find that probability by standardizing is the chance that z is greater than 66.5 minus 70 over the square root of 70 which if you work it out is the chance that z is greater than minus 0.42. So again we look at the tables and we search for 0.42 which is down the bottom and the probability for 0.42 is 0.6628. So that's the chance of getting less than positive 0.42, 0.6628. Clearly the probability of getting greater than minus 0.42 will be the same as the probability of getting less than positive 0.42 and so that's actually the answer 0.6628. Okay let's move on to one final question and this is question 4 from June 2008. And this one is about genes in a cell. Here you can see a wonderful photograph of some onion cells with the cells dividing and the chromosomes inside the cells in various states of replication. Okay well this is the last question but again the best thing that you could do now is to pause the video and have a go at it yourself before hearing the answers and the methods. Okay well Part A is asking us to say how the number of damaged genes in the cell will be distributed. And the answer is that it will have a binomial distribution with parameters 11,000 and 0.0005. 11,000 because there are 11,000 genes so that's the number of trials and 0.0005 because that's the probability of a gene being damaged so that's the probability of success. I know it's a bit odd to think about damage being a success but there we go. Okay so moving on to the next part it asks us to find the mean and variance of the number of damaged genes in the cell and remember that X has the binomial distribution with 11,000 and 0.0005 as its parameters so the expected value of X will be 11,000 times 0.0005 which is 5.5 and the variance will be 11,000 times 0.0005 times 1 minus 0.0005 which is 0.9995 and if you do that sum you'll get 5.49725 so that's the variance. Okay we can now get on with the approximation part of the question and remember that because we've got a random variable with the binomial distribution we should start first by trying to make a Poisson approximation and that's clearly going to be valid because here n was extremely large it was 11,000 and p was extremely small it was 0.0005 Okay so for the Poisson approximation we need to choose lambda so that it's equal to the mean value of X so lambda is going to have to be 5.5 because that's the mean number of damaged genes Okay so this is going to work we're going to be able to make a Poisson approximation there's no problem here lambda equals 5.5 so we can use the tables to find probabilities we're asked to find the probability that X is less than or equal to 2 and that's going to be about the same as the probability that Y is less than or equal to 2 and we can look that up straight away we search in the table for where lambda equals 5.5 we find where X is 2 and look along and we see that the probability is 0.0884 so the probability that Y is less than or equal to 2 is 0.0884 and that's the answer a word of caution in this question it looks as though a normal approximation is valid in fact it is valid because np is 5.5 so that's more than 5 and n times 1 minus p would be huge so that's certainly more than 5 and so you might think well I could make a normal approximation here but what you must remember is that you should never make a normal approximation to a binomial distribution if a Poisson approximation would also be valid because the Poisson approximation is first of all much easier to do and secondly gives a more accurate answer so you should do exactly what I just did you should try to make a Poisson approximation and if it works carry on and it's all fine you should only make a normal approximation to a binomial distribution if you've tried to make a Poisson approximation it doesn't work because lambda ends up being too big to use the probability tables okay that's the end of my video about approximations and pass paper questions I hope you found it useful in your revision thank you very much for watching


Hello there everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with a stock swish and I'm reviewing costs an amazing call today And really what an unbelievable move by this stock Low today was two of six eighty six and it could even go lower because it's only 1224 I mean this thing absolutely fall for planet today, so I use my system I got up in the morning. I rated the gap or rated 20 points the the funny thing is we did this and we're out so quick and And I'm happy. It was a good solid day. It was a good solid week And I do not like to get in anything and stay in it forever and ever and all day But if you if you actually took the entry that I had in this this was and stayed with the trade This was like a insanity. So I mean, I literally called this here That is crazy birds The stock almost dropped $10 from where I called it Wow, I mean it literally went straight down. I just don't think there's any reason to be a pig though in this market But I'm sure that somebody in the room Retook it and got the full-on move. I'll have to find out next week But a great call just did it and just took it got right out And that's so funny because this just fell off an absolute planet But again, how did I know that Costco was the one? This is the only thing today that rated for my system 20 points or more So it was a good short and you could have bought this today as a put So you could have bought it as a putt or you could have shorted it as a day trade So congratulations to everyone in the trading room today that did Costco This could even make another leg down this afternoon, but again Friday December Market very wily here and I warned everyone of that today when you have a solid week at a solid month in a solid year It's good to just sometimes take the profits early in a couple of minutes Which is what we usually do have a great week in everyone last day for the Golden Gap course to sign up last class of the year is tomorrow and Sunday the last day to sign up this today last weekend Yeah, this two more weeks since the end of the year last class of the year people If you're interested you want to sign up email me at Melissa at the stocks wish calm
