It's Corbin. This is Rick. You follow us on Instagram, Twitter, juicy content, and there's some patrons that are out on Twitter to count and revoke what I'm gonna do as a squad. Rick, ring it this time. And follow us on our personal YouTube channels. Rick is now reviewing other foreign countries. Yep Not international, not in America. Not India, not the United States. Every other country up for grabs. Except he's doing old I'll do throwback Thursday classic Hollywood. Yeah, but anyways Today we were acting to a old, I'm gonna talk about a film. Shark, shark, shark, shark, shark, I don't know how old it is So I don't want to say old old because he's obviously has some oldies and some goodies. Yep And a lot of all of the above Shark, shark, we got Ram Gopal, Varma. Yes, yes I'm a Tom, I'm a Jack, and KK Menon. Wow. So a lot of people Shark, an influential man is falsely charged with the murder of an upright politician when he's imprisoned his son Shankar steps into his shoes as a leader to protect his father and their legacy. So is this post Satya? for Varma? Look at that. Dang I don't know what year this came out. So you guys can let us know. I don't know if the next one Kaun is high on the list for us Unless you guys see a company, I believe also people said was really good. So we're really excited to explore the What is the initials again? Initials are just RGB. Yeah, GB. Yep. So here we go. And I don't know if this is a real trailer or fan made I Obviously the tree I don't think is real I think somebody playing in the family they they piece it together, which is fine But I could there was a bunch of pieces that I enjoyed definitely I'm enjoying the angry old man of uh, I'm gonna talk about John. Yep. Um, he looks good going back to his roots Yep, uh seeing him with his son KK men and of course I think one of the finest actors and yes, did my eyes deceive me Or did I see the actor I love so much from Lagan? Which one?  Yes Who who's like the legendary forgive me? I've forgotten his name but um What was his name? If I saw it, I would remember it instantly So that means apparently government means government. Any of these people bring though? Well, you guys can let us know let us know if that was correct. So I was definitely interested in the the Fan made trailer that we got. Yeah, I would be interested in seeing this one obviously just for the actors alone and the director who Yeah, we now we trust and respect So and I would love to see I think it's been awesome to see how I'm talking about John It's been a long time. What wasn't it? Oh, no, no, no, we saw him. We saw him this summer. We saw him in his new film Oh, that's true. That's true. Um, but we haven't seen like old school Uh, I guess the last one, right? I guess it's not really old school stuff in five. So yes, it's after sarka or it's after outside yet, um, but When when because I've heard people talk about our our gv, uh, and he like he had like a fall off I don't know if it was recent years. I don't know like what the the time frame was that Like he started making really bad films before making like he was like the original on your akashiyama, right director, right, uh, who I believe On your akashiyama looked up to I believe that's correct. Um, and because he started to learn from these style of films Um, so there's a lot of cool stuff a lot of violence, you know, I'm a big I'm a big proponent for violence. He loves it. I do I don't think you can have too much Yeah, you probably can but I don't need moderation. Yeah violence and moderation.  I already have it Um, how long is it Rick? Oh two hours I do what I think is right even if it is against god Or the people or the law or even the whole system Same What if we'll be laughing at nothing at all? Nothing nothing How long is it is that what you're laughing at? Yep at your child My word. All right, let us know down below next big movie also KK Menon. Yeah, I feel like because we first saw KK in what was it? Was it the scene? Was it Heather? No, no, that was no. No, no, it was it was it was header It was header. We got the scene way after from the movie. That was the remake of a few good men It was it was header Where he played it was header 100% he played he played his the uncle. But I know he's like one of the most Reversed like like a mono. Yes I think one or she even mentioned KK menon in his In the interview. I feel like we need to give him more of his due and not that we think he's bad We think he's a fantastic actor. We just haven't seen enough of the stuff. So what's his next film? Yeah Gulal, I believe is on your kashyap We that it's that it's what that song though Hey With all the guys. Yeah, that's from Gulal. Um, and obviously he's been around for a while So let us know his next film and our rgv's next film we should react to And how this film is down. That's a lot of stuff. So I expect everybody to write a paragraph everybody And I will pick the best one and I will like it I


Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan and on this channel you can find financial travel and more videos if you like what you see Please do the thumbs up and consider subscribing. Thank you Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of amitdan.com today I'll have another episode of unboxing video and I'll be unboxing the DOS Bluetooth wireless portable speaker. This is a 12 watt HD sound speaker and it has also tool or play time with the battery so The review is going to be a non-affiliated unbiased and honest like my any other reviews I don't provide any affiliated links or paid reviews on this channel So the only opinions you're going to get will be totally honest and unbiased So this review actually is going to be in two different parts Although, you know, they're gonna be in one video. So the first I'll do a quick unboxing and show we'll show you the wireless speaker and then I have another Samsung wireless speaker which is close to 150 hundred eighty dollars a speaker and I'll compare that a speaker with the the speaker This is speaker is a very Inexpensive it's about $40 Canadian and I have heard lots of lots of good things about the speaker So I'll do the testing and I'll compare with the expensive Samsung speaker and then we'll see like, you know, which one if Low price that really means anything or if you're going a quality product with a low price comparing the Samsung one, which is 150 hundred seventy dollars and What type of sound these two speakers can give you. So let's start with unboxing so this is the whole box and Let me just take a look here if there's something in here Actually, I can see some of the features they mentioned right here. Although. It's kind of hard to read because it's you know, the white color is The letters are in white and the box is white too, but let's try so it has Bluetooth 4.0 audio input jack and also Bluetooth and auxiliary jack and TF card and Good performance a small size perfect sound quality ease of ease sensitive touch control Bluetooth working distance would be 33 feet and Then you have your long playtime up to two hours battery life with 50% volume and there are some technical parameters Which are right there. So output power is six watt what times two so that there will be 12 watts and The size is very small six by six times two by said 2.7 times 2.9 inch and The model number is right there. So let's open it up and see how it looks like Okay, so I open all the tapes now it should come out very easily so this cover Okay, so put it here And then I see that there's a small brochure comes in three different colors Black white and blue this one should be black Because I thought that looks the best and then Here's some of the specs. So as you can see that this is actually touch sensitive button That's how you increase the or decrease the Volume and all the buttons are actually touch. There's nothing like, you know Old-fashioned or like, you know button raised button. So everything should be touch and that should give you an elegant look and there's some Power input right there. So we have 3.5 millimeter jack and then power button and then charging port and there's LED indicator Okay, so I'm not going to go through the whole thing. So I'll just put This aside, but I just noticed something right there answering and ending you call using your speaker So looks like you know, you can connect this speaker with your phone and I can answer and Incoming calls so when there's an incoming call the speaker will generate a tone and a verbal notification to allow to you of the event So briefly press the handset button to pick up Long press to reject. Okay So for those who would like to use a speaker instead of your phone to in a talk then this is another option you have and It says here using it with your Echo Dot Which is the Amazon Alexa device? I have that Echo Dot and then you can connect it with 3.5 millimeter auxiliary cable So that actually I'm looking to do that Connecting this with Alexa and we'll see what happens there. Okay, so let's leave it here for now Box is empty, but let me just take a look inside. There might be something else Okay, so looks like we have Our cable USB cable and looks like there's a 3.5 cable. Let's take a look Okay, so they provided a USB cable Which is nice and Also, this is super nice that they provided a 3.5 cable to connect it to another device for example Amazon Echo Dot this piece would cost you like seven to ten dollars if you buy on Amazon or Probably possibly more if you go at a store, but it's very nice of them to you know Included this piece so you don't have to buy this you can just connect it to your Echo Dot or any smart speaker or anything right away. So thank you for that and There's nothing else in here So now here we have the speaker Okay So here is the Blue tooth speaker. So this is actually a lot smaller than I was expecting. So when I saw it online or on Amazon then it looked a little bit bigger, but now here I can see that this is a very small and The size is actually a very nice size very portable very handy. The weight is very negligible Also feels like you're not holding anything. So let's take a look here So you have the on-off right there lining for audio cable and the TF card and Then we have the Micro USB input Okay, so I'm going to remove this protective layer Okay, actually it tells you what it is right there. So let me just show that to you before you remove it So it has here Okay, so right there, it's a volume previous track next track play mode and That's looks like it. Okay, so We'll put this here. Okay, so now here you can see that, you know, the looks and everything it looks really good and So this should be the Touch-sensitivity portion where you increase or decrease the volume So I'm going to just turn it down to see if there's any charge remaining here and let's see what happens. Okay, so Okay, it looks like there's a charge and it's a flushing blue so It could mean that it's trying to connect it to or pair it to another Bluetooth device So at this point, I'm going to just go ahead and connect it to my phone. And then once I like, you know, have Tested the music and everything then I'll come back and show you how this compared with my other Samsung Bluetooth Thank you. Hello, everyone. I was able to connect this DOS Bluetooth portable speaker to my Cell phone. So once you turn on the Power button, which is right here So this is going to go flushing blue and then that means that you know It's waiting to be discovered by your connecting Bluetooth device. So on your phone if you Start Bluetooth open Bluetooth screen then you'll see that this is as a DOS speaker And then you have to just connect it to the Bluetooth So there's no problem connecting to the Bluetooth very easy setup. Now what I noticed that this is really a very Visually pleasing looking device. So the Raised top from here and it looks like there's a small like you know gap right here So this thing is not in a touch to this body. There's a small gap in here and That looks like purely for aesthetic purposes. It's not just like, you know, any fault or anything on the Device so it's just made it to look it better and then overall whenever you're holding it or you're just, you know touching it You have the feeling that this is a very good quality premium product, but with a low price. So definitely This is something I'm very happy with my purchase. So I had a chance to listen to a few songs and the sound quality is Unbelievable comparing the price. So let me I'll let you hear a song right now music and then I'll switch back to my Samsung expensive Bluetooth speaker then I'll let you hear the same music on my Samsung speaker and Then you'll see which one sounds better So let's start to this one and we'll listen to a music on this one Okay, so what happens here that to turn up or down you have to just Touch this so this is going down now and we're making it up now this way So I paused it The sound quality again, it's hard to believe I just I can't believe that this is like, you know It can put you such in good sound. So now let me get my a Samsung Bluetooth speaker and then I'll You'll have a chance to listen to my Samsung as well and then you can compare which one is giving you better sound Hello, everyone. I'm back with my Samsung Bluetooth speaker, which is right here So the name of this model is Samsung DAF 60 portable wireless Bluetooth speaker with NFC So this one cost Close to $200. I don't exactly remember how much I paid, but I paid somewhere probably around 170-290 in that range Samsung doesn't make this anymore, but you can still buy on eBay the same device for 150 to 200 dollars some of them There's some available items here. So we just tested the DOS now I'm going to play the same music on Samsung and then I'll come back and I'll give you my opinion Which one sounds better? So let's start So this one is actually higher, this is 20 watt and this is I believe 12 watt But the problem with this one that this is more expensive. This is made of all metal and It has you know that elegant look as well so it's not plastic is everything metal and then the problem with this that when you Sound the music when you play music it gets distorted if I played higher and especially when there is a drum In the music then it gets like a totally distorted and the voice becomes true The music becomes really, you know hard to hear you can you can feel it right away that you know It gets distorted, but I didn't have the problem with this one So if you listen to the beginning of the music, I don't know if the camera will be able to catch it But let me play the same music again in the beginning and then you can hear the drum is getting distorted because something you know although it's a It's an expensive product, but product, but it cannot perform like the cheap product like this one So let's try the beginning of the music again, and you know what I'm talking about So I guess that should be good enough you can hear that the I think it's that drum It gets like a totally distorted when you know you go a little bit higher. So I Just compared this to 100 close to 200 could be like in 170 180 150 and this is $40 Canadian on sale you can even pick it up for $30 Canadian What do you think which one is better? If you have if you like, you know in my opinion, I would go with this one In terms of like, you know the value you're going to get you cannot beat that This is really a color quality product and everything and this one I feel like after having this one that I Just wasted my money.

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. We're talking about FIFA 23. We just had a bunch of brand new information released with the gameplay revealed trailer and the deep dive pitch notes. But what I wanna do today is not cover the basics. I want to do a deep dive and look at some of the intricacies of the information that we learned yesterday. Today we're gonna talk about a brand new foot transfer market, how that's going to look and how that's going to work. We're also gonna talk about brand new foot heroes that are gonna get upgraded sooner than they did this last year in FIFA 22, which is a tremendous W and a lot of other information, including a brand new currency inside of FIFA. That's gonna be a talking point that we need to learn more about as EA released more information. But we do have some ideas of what that could be already. So we're gonna look at all that in more in today's video. If you're excited for FIFA 23, which is right around the corner, hit the thumbs up on this video and subscribe if you're new. Let's go into the information and we like to talk about the market around here, right? So that's what we're gonna start by talking with because I think for a lot of people, this is the biggest change so far that we have heard about. Yes, cross play a school and we will talk about that. But this is massive, especially for us that watch the market a lot.  We are going to have one massive FIFA 23 transfer market this next year. The two biggest markets already existing are combining into one with all of PlayStation and all of Xbox coming together in one market along with Stadia. And that's going to be one massive market this next year. This was expected. This is what people were thinking was gonna happen with the addition of cross play into the game. But it's a little bit different than we thought, right? Because there's still going to be three different markets. But first of all, you're gonna have this massive market between PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Next Gen and Stadia. And basically this just means exactly is what you think it mean. If a player is on Stadia, a PlayStation 4 player will be able to see that same item that the Stadia player listed on the market. So like I'm on PlayStation 5, I list a player up, somebody on Xbox One can buy that player. It is one massive market this next year. Basically combining these two markets right here between PS and between Xbox and then throwing Stadia into the mix as well, one big massive market. Now, how is this gonna change the market? That's a lot of people's biggest question. And we're gonna continue to talk about this around and through the summer as we move towards FIFA 23. And this is the example that I came up with yesterday. And this is kind of how I was explaining how I think this is gonna feel. This is a list on footbin of the live number of auctions on all of the three markets that we have right now in FIFA 22. On PlayStation, we have 2 million current listings on the market. On Xbox, we have 600,000. So you can see PlayStation has always been the more sizable market. There's more players on PlayStation. Xbox is the second biggest with 600,000 live transfers. Really, if you would think about it in this way, if I were to add the 600,000 live transfers on Xbox to PlayStation, that would really only increase the amount of listings on PS by a pretty small amount. Maybe like, you know, what would that be? Like 20% or something like that? Not super crazy, maybe a little more. But, you know, 600,000 added onto 2 million. That's not that big of an increase. And even if you look at some of the biggest numbers, the biggest number of transfers during the year of FIFA 22 was 9 million on PS and it was 2.8 million on Xbox. So what this is going to do is it's going to add a lot of supply together on the same market. And that has a lot of people thinking, Nate, aren't prices going to be so cheap next year because you have all of Xbox supply and PlayStation supply on the same market? In my opinion, actually no. I think it's going to be very similar. If you're a player that uses the PlayStation market, I think what it's going to end up being is just like the PlayStation market from this last year. Of course, we don't know how EA is going to do pack weight. Prices were just super cheap this year in FIFA 22 anyway. So that, of course, has a big impact on things. But combining these two markets really what I think it's going to feel like is a more competitive PlayStation market because basically, your prices are, I think, going to be around the same as they would have been on the PlayStation market if it was its own separate thing anyway because the Xbox market is such a good bit smaller in the PlayStation market, really what you're going to have is more people trying to buy the same cards and there's going to be a lot of demand in specific areas. Sniping is going to be much harder this year. Getting deals on bid is going to be much harder this year and timing fluctuations on the market is going to be a bit more difficult because you're going to have, again, more supply and more demand of just more players fighting for the same cards that before, there were two separate markets for people to kind of fight for cards on, right? Sniping on Xbox, you were sniping against Xbox players. Sniping on PlayStation, you were sniping against PlayStation players. So I think that's going to be the biggest difference but really I don't think the market's going to feel that much different. I'm really curious to see how SBC Fodder works this next year and how the Fodder movements are on the market because I think it's still going to be really similar to PlayStation. Some of you guys on Xbox have bigger fluctuations since there is less supply and still a decent amount of demand at the current moment on Xbox.  There's going to be more cards that are on the game, more cards on the market, but also more people going after them. So that's kind of my take on how I think this transfer market is going to be changed. Again, I don't think there's really much you can prepare for, we'll have to see what it's like when we actually get the game and when we're on it, but that's kind of how I view a one big transfer market pool. But I love this, right? I think this is great for, especially as we talk about prices on the market, we talk about fluctuations and trading, now we are all, except for PC, we are all on the same level playing field, right? Most people who are on Xbox, PlayStation, we are all on the same level playing field. So if I say, yo guys, this price is pretty good for their Militow team in the season. I don't have to try to think about Xbox and PlayStation prices at the same time. It's much nicer just for a like ease of use level accessibility with this is going to be a lot better for market knowledge and for talking about prices on the market. That is, I'm excited for that when we have, you know, trading conversations and stuff like that as well. Now, here's the problem. I know there was people excited to play PC because the graphics are so much better on PC than they are on Xbox and PlayStation if your PC is pretty good. But this is really interesting because PC is going to have their own separate transfer market and the Switch is going to have its own separate transfer market. So we have three markets this year in FIFA, right? PlayStation, Xbox and PC. We're going to have three markets next year in FIFA 23 as well. They're just going to be completely different. You're going to have one massive market and then two pretty small ones between PC and the Nintendo Switch. And again, this is the most, one of the most confusing parts about this all is PC is included in matchmaking with next-gen.  That's the weirdest part. I don't know why EA has done this. I feel like they should give us some more information, some more clarity, but also I feel like they might not because the PC player pool is so much smaller than the general public of the, you know, Xbox and the PlayStation users that play this game. So that's just kind of a really interesting point, but it's a really big one. And I want to spend some time talking about that because that was a really big change. Now speaking about gameplay just a little bit, this is the graphic that everybody is showing. And I think it explains it so well. This is how it's going to work this next year. Old Gen plays against Old Gen. New Gen plays against New Gen. That's the simple sentence of how you need to know matchmaking works in FIFA 23. PS5, Xbox, X and Series S, they play together against Stadia and PC, online and in friendlies. And then Old Gen, PS4 and Xbox One will play against each other in friendlies as well. That also means that you can still match PS4 to PS4, PS5 to PS5, but you also will have Xbox players throwing in the mix, both on Old and New Gen. So if you're like me, somebody on PlayStation 5 or on Xbox, next Gen, you know, right now we actually have multiple versions of the game. I've got the PS5 version of FIFA 22 and the PS4 version and I could swap back and forth. I would imagine since dual entitlement is advertised again for FIFA 23, that if you have a next Gen console, you could go back and forth if you like a certain gameplay better, kind of like I do this year, like Old Gen gameplay a little bit better. And I think you'd be able to go back and do that same sort of like switch around if you preferred one of the two game plays over the other in FIFA 23 as well. So that's kind of how I read this and that's how I understand the whole cross-play platform situation with the next Gen and with the Old Gen. Now, that's a lot of talk about market and things. Let's talk about some content related items and this is pretty big right here. We have some new foot heroes and we have already released three. Now, we've seen a lot of leaks around these, right? And I'm gonna talk about some of the leaks in a second, but these are confirmed from EA Sports, Zaya Tore, Park Jisung and Carvalho, three Premier League heroes and this is the World Cup hero car design right here. I believe this is the World Cup hero car design and that matters. Take note of that here in just a second. Of course, this last year, our hero cards looked entirely different, right? If we go and take a look at Ginola, these is how our hero cards looked. I still think we're going to have our base heroes in FIFA 23. That is the way that it sounds. But as they say in here, Foot 23 heroes are in game from launch just like last year, but the biggest part about this is they're adding additional special FIFA World Cup foot hero versions for every Foot 23 hero. So basically at the start of the World Cup, EA is going to upgrade and put new versions of all heroes out in the game, just like they did this year for like the Foot captain's heroes, right? Or the shape shift their heroes. These guys finally got upgraded in like April and July on this game. Next year in FIFA 23, they're going to update these within two months of the game coming out. Tremendous W for EA sports. I love the idea here. Now, let me talk a little bit more about heroes because these cards will work like normal heroes. They said they're going to reveal more than throughout the summer. There's nothing changing here with heroes. They're basically just adding more and they're going to update them earlier on. Now, if you're somebody who is looking to pre-order the ultimate edition of FIFA 23 and if you go into the FAQ here, it says even more. If you're having some questions like, hey, will Foot 23 heroes have the same ratings as their base item? And they said all World Cup heroes will have improved ratings compared to their base hero items. So that's kind of how that works. And again, that upgrade is November 11th. But if you were going to pre-order the ultimate edition, right? Let's go in here, pre-order benefits. Limited time FIFA World Cup Foot Hero item. So if you pre-order the game before August 22nd, that's the deadline date. You or we are all going to get a Foot Hero item on the day that they are upgraded and released, right? And that November 11th date is when the new Foot Hero World Cup cards will be out in FIFA 23. And that's also the day when we will get our free one if you're pre-order the ultimate edition. Basically, that's like getting a free promo card on the day that they release. Imagine a promo Friday of like shape-shifters and EA was like, hey, here's a guarantee shape-shifter pack from the cards that are just arriving in game. That's pretty cool, especially that early in the game. Everybody's going to get a hero card. That is super sick. And that's going to be a lot of fun this fall when that does happen right before the World Cup. So that's a huge W if you're pre-ordering the ultimate edition, something to kind of think about. And I think it makes your ultimate edition pre-order just worth it a little bit more. Now a couple of things about heroes. Like I mentioned, this is the World Cup heroes' car design, right? We still have a new car design that is leaked. I'm taking a look at a foot zone on Twitter. Now, before we said that foot zone's a little bit fraudulent. We've called them fraud zone, right? But this guy's actually got some things pretty accurate with some of the leaks that he tweeted out before EA has posted the stuff this last week. So we still take these with a pinch of salt, but he is saying this is the brand new foot heroes' car design, that this is the base version. So it's going to look different than the Ginola that I was showing you. This is the leak for the base version of heroes. I like that orange, I like that color. And you'll kind of notice this design right here. I don't know what it is, it almost looks like an A or like part of a star. That is kind of a constant in a lot of the car designs that we see in the FIFA 23 reveal information stuff. That sort of like thing is in there a lot. So that's kind of like the basis of the new car designs this next year. And this is the full list of FIFA 23 heroes and icons that are brand new. Some big names in here, right? Marquisio, Donovan, Durkite. There's a lot of great cards. Now of course, we're going to keep watch on this official foot heroes page as EA is probably going to continue to release these every, I don't know, maybe a couple of weeks or so. They've got a nice little write up on all these cards. So it's really, really cool to see EA doing this. And it just sounds like we have a lot more foot heroes and icons to come to be released. So that's pretty hype as well. Those are the two biggest things in terms of content in my opinion. Now the other thing I want to talk about is this was found in the, one of the screenshots from the update. I believe I can even see it in here. We were not expecting to see anything about this, but you can see it right there.  And this leak from Foot Zone says they are called Foot Moments Stars. They can be traded in for packs, special cards, and coins. Now some people have let me know that there's stuff like this already in NBA 2K or Madden Ultimate Team or something like that. You know what almost it seems like to me? It seems like a new form of currency that's like a swap token. Basically think about it, right? If you can trade a Foot Moments Star in for a pack, special cards or coins, that to me feels like kind of a swap token. If you can collect them and then at certain levels of how many you have, you can turn them in for a reward. That's cool, right? It's different, right? It's a change. So I'm a fan of this. We'll have to see how it gets used and implemented in the game. And we'll see if there's any sort of paywall behind it too. If EA's trying to form an extra revenue source or whatever it is inside of Ultimate Team, we'll have to see. But that's cool. I mean, all that we can say right now is that's cool, and we'll see what we learn more about it in the future. But we saw that in the screenshots yesterday when they were talking about leaderboards and stuff and we were like, yo, that's brand new. So that's some new information from yesterday as well. Just a little bit of like upcoming dates and info. If you have not seen this tweet, it looks like about once a week we're gonna get new updates. They're gonna start off with gameplay and hypermotion to technology on the 27th. They're gonna go career mode, match the experience, ProClubs, Volta, and then Ultimate Team on August 11th. So we still have a couple of weeks until the true Ultimate Team news are going to be coming out and getting released. So make sure you keep an eye out for that. We also have this screenshot. This is also kind of going around a lot at the moment. This is a free kick. They're redoing the free kick, which it's cool because this kind of reminded me, and I used this example on stream yesterday as we kind of switch over and look at gameplay stuff here for a second. This kind of reminded me of like, I don't know if you guys have played any like billiards games before where you kind of get to choose when you're about to shoot the ball on the table. You choose a spot on the cue ball where you want to make contact, right? That's almost what I feel like this is here. You're basically gonna have the football down here on the pitch and you're gonna have this little, I don't know what you call that, like a square or a star, and you're gonna basically, depending on where you move that, probably controlled by the right stick, that's the different type of free kick that you're gonna take, right? It says inside foot curled right now because she's about to take this free kick from that angle and then it kind of shows you where the ball would go if you'd strike it correctly. You're expected XG, your distance, and then it gives you the stats and the player name and position like on the pitch, right? That's cool, I like that. This looks pretty neat. I think it's gonna be the same way for penalty kicks as well. Hopefully in the gameplay deep dive that would be this next week, I would imagine that as a new gameplay feature they would talk about this new set piece format. I like the stats though, I really do. I think it's pretty cool. I love the stats in FIFA. If they keep adding more stats, I don't think anybody would complain at all. So those are some of the biggest details. A couple other things. FIFA 23 ambassadors, Vinny Jr. We've got a lot of guys in here. We also have the addition of some women's footballers, which I think is pretty cool. And they definitely made a pretty big point of including those women footballers in the trailer. There's going to be a men's World Cup and a women's World Cup mode. And I believe I read it somewhere as well. They're gonna have officially licensed women's teams in the kickoff mode. I don't think it's in ultimate team. I think it's in a kickoff mode. We'll have to see once we get more information around that. But you've got some big player names in here as FIFA 23 ambassadors. A lot of names returning, but then some new ones. I believe Jack Gryllish might be a new one. Kai Havertz, I think is a new name. And even Virgil, I think is a brand new name as a ambassador for this year of FIFA 23. And then a couple of dates to be very interested in. And this is actually gonna impact us a lot as we get closer down the line towards FIFA 23. It doesn't seem that the EA play 10 hour access trial like we've had in the past, I don't know how many years. You always had those 10 hours to kind of play the game. And usually it was like a week before it came out or like five, six days before it came out on the console even for an early release. This year, the EA play early access trial and the ultimate edition open up on the same day of September 27th. So is it really gonna be worth it to have EA play this year if you're not getting a 10 hour trial like a few days beforehand? Is that actually not gonna get you any kind of like step ahead? So that's something that we're gonna have to look at and kind of if this date changes as we get closer to the timeframe which is kind of weird that it's the same right now because as this looks, it may not be worth it to buy EA play if your 10 hour access doesn't actually give you any time like before anybody else gets on. And if you're gonna get on the same date as people who buy the ultimate edition, you might as well buy the ultimate edition, right? Which I think a lot of us do anyways just because of the content that you get. Because of it, speaking of that ultimate edition once again, you do get the 4,600 FIFA points just like last year. You get the untradable ones to watch player, the foot hero and a couple other items in there. And we'll talk about that as we get closer of course talk about pre-ordering the game which version may be right for you and stuff like that. So that's kind of all the information that we have on FIFA 23 right now. Again, there is more gameplay stuff that we could uncover. As again, we talked about the next gen and the old gen pro clubs is not included in that which I think is a big bummer. And I was looking forward to playing pro clubs as some of my friends IRL that have Xboxes but I won't be able to do that. So the new menu look as well in here, I'll be honest, it looks so similar to FIFA 22 when I saw some of these images. I mean, it does look a little bit different, right? You can see the backgrounds a bit different and stuff but I just thought it looks so similar to FIFA 22 it was not that big of a change in that regard. So a lot of interesting things that we looked at today a lot of things that we talked about regarding FIFA 23 let me know down in the comments this video how you guys are feeling. I know it was just a little bit of information. I know there was not much to unpack and to look at but I feel like from the stuff that we learned there's stuff that we have to talk about regarding the market which we did regarding foot heroes which is nice to understand and to unpack and unfold and then I'm just really curious to see the new icons and new heroes that they release and confirm and more information related to the game that we're gonna learn in the next couple of weeks. So as it comes out, we're gonna cover it and continue to talk about it on the channel. So if you enjoyed today's video, smash a thumbs up on it, comment down below again if you have any questions or thoughts on what we've talked about here today and of course, subscribe if you are new. It's been Nate's Foot Account and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


are you ready for fall? All right, so this is an interesting little collection of stuff. I do think before I moved I had more of these. Where are they? I have no idea. I can't find them. These are all the ones I could find. So I don't know. I don't know.  I used to be in an artist cooperative type shop.  Myself and one of the other ladies in the shop, the store owner actually, used to make these little pumpkins. Every fall we sold a million of them and we both did them very differently and I'm even going to change it up a little bit now. This is one I made. This is one she made. She did this one and she did this one. And they're very different but they're a lot of fun. There's no right way or wrong way to decorate these and I'm going to go over a few little things and then I'm going to actually show you how to make the pumpkins. So you can see on this one that I made, this is cotton, orange cotton fabric and orange embroidery floss. I've decorated the top with some ivy leaves from some dollar store ivy, some colored green raffia and this is actually the same stuff I have to do the new ones with, which is paper covered stem wire. But you could use, this is one that my friend Cindy Simmons did. No, not Cindy Utter, Cindy Simmons. As she used a cinnamon stick, her leaf is made out of felt and then this is curly raffia for the vines.  So you really could do, decorate them a lot of different ways. This one also is sewn and gathered, whereas these are wrapped with cord. So they're all a little bit different and you could do them any, I mean, there's a million different ways. I want to spruce up my collection. Like I said, I do think I used to have a little bit more of them, but I can't find them. So we're going to make a few new ones. So we're going to push those aside over that way. The first thing we're going to do is make leaves. Now I'm going to make my leaves out of felt. I got three colors of green felt. The first thing I'm going to do is make a couple of patterns. So what I want to do is attach this print out of leaf shapes that I found at random on the internet. So just, you know, go to Google and type in pumpkin leaves, find a shape of one that you like and print it to the size that you think you're going to need for your pumpkins. I'm going to, this is photo paper because it's, I don't know what it printed on, which was weird, but that's okay. I'm going to glue the photo paper to the subchip board or cardboard.  So I only really need two of these. So I want this one. And then I think I want one of these little ones up here. So then I'm going to put my glasses on so I can see what I'm doing. I'm going to cut this out. Now I'm going to take our felt. We're going to take the sticker off. Depending on where you buy the felt and when you buy it and if it's on sale, it'll cost you anywhere between 25 cents and 50 cents a sheet. You're going to be able to get a lot of leaves out of one of these sheets. I think I'm going to start with this color. So I'm going to just take a ballpoint pen and I'm going to trace out a few of these leaves on each color. So you want to do something like that. I'm going to do all three pieces of felt and I'll be right back.   That's all you want. All right. So I'm going to do the whole stack. I'll be right back. Okay. It's actually the next day. Fun fact. Anyway, here are our leaves all stitched up and it just adds a little something extra to them. I have to stitch them. Oops, where are we? There we are. You could leave them plain. You could draw some veins on. I do think it's a nice little touch though that I didn't do before on the other ones and neither did my friend Cindy Simmons. So anyway, here's those. Now we're going to get our fabric. I double checked a few stashes in the house and talked to my husband last night. He does also think we had a lot more of these little pumpkins. We probably purged them when we were moving, which I really don't think I wanted to do, but it is what it is. So I'm going to make some new ones. I do have a lot of orange ones and I was thinking to myself when I was thinking about this video that of course I'd like to make new ones as I said, but you know, why do they have to be orange? They could be all sorts of shades of orange or rust, of course. They could be, though, where they could be red. They could be cream. What about teal? Teal would be pretty. These aren't real pumpkins, so we're not going to eat them. So I wanted to modern them up a little bit. I will also tell you if you're doing fall arts and craft shows, when I was doing them, which has been a while, but when I was doing them, these were one of the things that were a good seller. So we didn't charge much for them. I think they were like, I don't know, I want to say $2.95 or $3.95 a pumpkin. They weren't very much and they didn't cost very much to make, but especially if you get all your parts at the fabric store, I mean at the dollar store, except for the fabric and if you use fat quarters or clearance fabric for the fabric. So anyway, so I have this range of colors.   So that's a good size piece of fabric to do this with. So, and we can probably layer a few of these at once. I don't think you're going to be able to see the whole piece of fabric on camera, but that's okay. I have some circle patterns, different sizes for different pumpkins. I do think this is the size about for this pumpkin. Again, it's been a while, but I think, yeah, I'm pretty sure this is the size for that pumpkin and the slightly smaller one is about that. And you're going to ask me how big these are. So this one is six-ish inches across, six and an eighth. This one is eight and a half. And this one, a big one is almost 11. It's like an eighth of an inch shy of 11 inches. To make a circle pattern, go look for some bowls in the kitchen and turn them upside down on a piece of cardboard or cardstock or an old cereal box. This is chipboard from probably rubber stamp, a shipment of rubber stamps that got in stock for the Etsy store. This is old retail signage from my days as a greeting card merchandiser, as is this. So, yeah, use what you have. All right, so I want to make different size pumpkins. So I think I'm going to use all three of these. And we are going to layer a few fabrics on top of each other. You want to make sure your fabrics, at least the top fabric, is right sides up because we're going to draw on it and trace around our patterns. You want to make sure that your fabric is even-ish. There's not too wrinkly underneath. I wouldn't probably do more than three or four of them. I think more than that might be hard to cut. I'm going to do three, four. Maybe we'll do four. I'll do all the teals and I'll do all the oranges.  And then lay out your patterns. Try not to get this white selvage edge right here. We don't want that. So I'm going to keep it about an inch from the edge.  Now, if I was making these for a show, I would fill up this whole piece of fabric and cut the whole thing out. I'm not going to do that because I don't need that many pumpkins. But I'm going to take a pen. This is just my favorite big crystal. And I'm going to trace around my cardboard and make a circle. Now, if you're doing mixed media or you're doing some sort of like scrap quilt or something, then don't throw these little scraps away because you can probably do something else with them. Okay, like that. And then we're going to cut them out. Now I have lots of different kinds of fabric scissors. I'm not sure these are going to cut through all these layers of fabrics, but I do have ones that will. So let's see. Oh, no, they do. They work well. So then just cut around your pen mark, except you need to get all the layers of fabric. Did I get them all? Oh, I did. Okay. You're going to need a lot of stuffing for this. If you're doing it on a budget, you could use stuffing from old pillows. Use your coupons to buy stuffing at the fabric store.  Hello.  Okay, so the next things you're going to need are some strong thread recording and a needle and something to stuff your pumpkins with. And I need my reading glasses because, you know, my eyes are old and tired. All right, that's good. We're going to just start with a medium one. With the wrong side of the fabric facing up, I'm going to run a basting stitch all the way around the outside edge. So I'm going to thread my needle and I'm going to, this is buttonhole twist, which is pretty strong thread, but I am going to double it up. I could do a single layer, but I'm going to double it up because we're going to pull tight on this. And this piece of thread is important. So I'm going to take the two cut ends and I'm going to time in or not that aside. So by wrong side up, I mean this is the back side of the fabric. This is the pretty side, right? So we want to have the back side up. This is the pretty side. This is like a batik print, so it's a little harder to tell, but this is the less pretty side, I think. They're both pretty close. On this particular one, I don't think it matters too much, which one do you like the colors more? I think they're both okay. I'm going to stick with my original intention. So we're going to just run a basting stitch about a quarter of an inch from the edge all the way around. And a basting stitch is just a large running stitch. Let me zoom in, hold on. For those that don't know what a basting stitch is, just a large running stitch doesn't have to be perfect. I'm using kind of a large big-eyed needle just because I do have some issue with my hands. Okay, so let's get back to it, shall we? So just go all the way around the edge of your circle. Just do it quickly. They don't have to be even at all. It doesn't matter if they're not even. Your stitches aren't even. But we're going to be putting a lot of pressure on this thread when we form our pumpkin. So that's why you want to use a double layer of a strong thread. I do think when I made the originals, I might have used embroidery floss, which would probably also work. But any strong thread that you have will work. I wouldn't use regular sewing thread. I don't know if that's going to be strong enough. I think when you pull on it like we're going to, I think it might bust. When I'm planning pumpkins like this, one of the things I keep my eyes on when I'm out thrifting is going to the craft and sewing department and looking for half-used bags of polyfill or otherwise known as pillow stuffing.  And again, don't do like I did yesterday. I was literally at the fabric store yesterday and I forgot to use my coupon, which was dumb. All right. So we're back at the end. Pull this out. There we go. Okay.  Like that. Like that. Oops. There we are. Till we have this. Let's zoom out just a little bit. Yeah, like this. Okay. We're going to have this shaky camera. Okay. We're going to have this little bowl. Then we're going to take some pillow stuffing. I've got some old batting here left over from a project. I'm going to just rip it up into pieces. Use what you have. You probably could stuff these with like fabric scraps, although I don't know that I would actually do that. You could take old pillows apart. Maybe you wash the pillows first. And you want a fair amount of stuffing. I have a bunch of this batting that was given to me. This is a nice cotton batting, but I don't have the use for it at the moment. So we're going to use it to make pumpkins. So once you have a fair amount like that, then you want to pull your threads until you get a ball. And then we're going to tie it off. Hold it tight over here into a fold on the other side and hold. I'm going to do it again on the opposite side again. Pull and hold. And once you do that once or twice, it's going to stay. And once it feels like it's staying, do that one more time and then tie a knot. Make sure to pull it tight. There we go. Like that. I would tie it a couple times. So just like that. So you want to take all of your rounds of fabric and you want to do this to them. Now, you want it about like this. You don't want it stuffed too tightly that we can't do the next step to it. If it's stuffed too tightly, when we go to wrap the threads around it to create the sections of the pumpkin, then it's not going to want to like push in and create your pumpkin shape. So do this to all of your rounds and then we'll be right back. Okay, so you can see here off to my left that I have my embellishments all sorted out, grouped one for each pumpkin. And the larger pumpkins are going to get a little bit more than the smaller ones, obviously. Each one's going to get at least one leaf. So and the hot glue gun is heating up over that way. You will need a hot glue gun. You could do this with like tacky glue, but hot glue will dry faster and you'll be a little less frustrated. And if you don't own a hot glue gun, they do sell them at the dollar store. I don't necessarily see them all the time there, but I do see them there. And I would recommend if you're doing this for like a fall craft show that you probably look for your embellishments at the Dollar Tree or your local dollar store and shop for the fabric.  I used to when I was, well back in the day when I was making these for shows, I would wait until the fat quarters went on sale for 99 cents. I don't think they do that anymore, but I do think you can see them often for like a dollar 49 or a dollar 99. You can also do this with clearance cotton. These are just cotton blend fabrics quilting cottons.  So anyway, then I'm going to take my courting. This is some of my hemp courting and I'm going to leave a good like three inch tail up here in the center where we did the gathering.  Then I'm going to go the other way. Then I'm going to go the other way. Then I'm going to go the other way. Now you can do this as I said before with matching courting. Embroidery floss works. I've done these with embroidery floss plenty of times. Before you tie it off, fluff it a little bit. Make sure your pumpkin segments are sort of evenish. Tie this in a knot once you get that first knot in there. You can let go and then trim them short. That works.  So I'm going to do that to all of them while the glue gun is heating up. I'll be right back. Okay, I'm on the last one as far as the wrapping is concerned. So again, you want to get two or three inches in your hand. Put your thumb here in the center where the gathers are and you want to wrap around once. Then turn it and then wrap it again halfway. So now you have divided in fourths. Then you want to divide each one of those fourths in half, turning it as you go to keep all of those threads in the center, or strings, whatever you're using, and then tie it in a knot. You do need a little bit of manual dexterity for this. Oops, tie it really well. Then trim it off and then turn it over and just fluff it, straighten your threads so that your pumpkin segments are about even. Give it a squish so that it's kind of brownish. Any errors in the pumpkin are like flog parts like this right here and I'll put leaves or something there. Okay, so now we've got all of our pumpkins ready for embellishments and the hot glue gun is ready to go. I've got a bunch of glue sticks out. So each pumpkin is going to get two or three berries, a little piece of the paper wrapped wire stem material from the floral apartment at the fabric store, one leaf, and I have a little piece of quilling paper that I curled that it's going to go on here too. So we are going to start with the littlest pumpkins, I think. And by the way, I forgot how hard these little pumpkins were to do. Yeah, I forgot. The bigger the pumpkin, the easier it is for the wrapping and everything. The littler the pumpkin, the more challenging it is. All right, so the first thing I'm going to do is glue a stem on and just put hot glue right in the middle. Put the stem in. The glue is still hot, which it is, and put some berries in.  Paper, stick that down too. And then how cute is that? So yeah, I like it. All right, so I'm going to do all the pumpkins and I'll be back. 25 pumpkins, 24 I think. I think I've pumpkined out for a while. I did used to have a lot of these pumpkins around the house and like I said, I've only got six. I don't know that made it on the move, which would be these original ones, which is fine. I'll mix them in with these new ones. But these are a lot of fun to make. You can of course get that pre-made little cloth pumpkins and then just decorate the tops. But if you're going to do them for a fall craft show and sell them, that's probably not the most cost-efficient way to do it.  I love the teal pumpkins. I think this cotton flower print is my favorite. But how can you make the pumpkins more modern by color and maybe even do something different for the decorations on the top? I like something that's at least reminiscent of an actual pumpkin, but you could do anything. So see what you can do. You could also maybe put a little wire holder on the top to hold a place card and use these as the little ones as place cards at Thanksgiving on the table as name cards. That would be cute.

One local restaurant has answered the call to reduce the use of single-use plastics voice takeaway services. Spice of India is teaming up with the Plastic Waste Free Islands project for a pilot to encourage sustainable consumption in St Lucia's food service industry. Jesse Leos has the details. Indian cuisine is on the menu, and you can now order the takeout in reusable food containers. The Plastic Waste Free Islands PWFI project through the Department of Sustainable Development has made available 49 reusable food service containers to a local restaurant, Spice of India, to boost their sustainable efforts at reducing single-use plastic consumption. In the pilot initiative, Spice of India commits to include the containers in an ongoing offer where patrons who opt for takeaway in a reusable food container will pay a small deposit when they order food from the restaurant. The deposit is paid back to the patron when they return the container. The PWFI project food service containers can be used up to 250 times, cleaned after every return under the strictest hygiene standards. Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Department of Sustainable Development, Silka Tobias, handed over the containers to restaurant owner Chef Adil Sherwani on behalf of the PWFI project. This will assist with our goal to reduce the country's dependence on single-use plastic food service containers by encouraging customers to avoid single-use plastics and using reusable containers for ready meals, takeaways and any food in bulk. This project will further assist with finding innovative solutions against plastic waste generation and leakages. The PWFI project is part of the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Global Close the Plastic Tap Program. With support from the Norwegian Agency for Development Corporation NORAD, the three-year project works in St. Lucia and five other islands of the Caribbean and Pacific. The project seeks to promote island circular economy and to demonstrate effective quantifiable solutions to addressing plastic leakage from small island developing states. Spice of India owner Chef Adil is pleased to align his enterprise with this cause. Anything to do for the environment, you know, we will do whatever it takes to save the environment and of course it's a cost-effective way for us and for our clients as well. So I'm very excited for this day and the staff are excited, the whole team is excited I'm glad to get it out so people can start patronizing it. Actually it works very good with the summit going on right now where we're trying to save the environment in the whole world and this goes a long way. So anything for sustainable development, Spice of India is up for it. The handover was held on November 3rd, 2021. More restaurants and food service providers are encouraged to introduce similar initiatives to reduce single-use food packaging. For the Department of Sustainable Development, I am Jesse Leons reporting.


This is the biggest fight against plastic. No, no, not this plastic. We're talking about the other plastic. Yep, your toothbrush. In the US alone, over one billion toothbrushes are used each year. Plastic toothbrushes are virtually indestructible. Hello landfills and ocean waste. So what if we replace our plastic toothbrushes with wood? More eco-friendly and recyclable. Meaning less waste. Imagine the big impact. If more of us made the change to replace some of the plastic things we use every day, with wood, choose sustainable wood for people and the planet.
