Hello again, welcome to today's lecture on acoustics. In the last class, we had started developing mathematical relation for wave propagation or sound propagation in a radially symmetric fashion. And specifically what we had developed were two things. One was a wave equation for a monopole. A monopole I had explained earlier is ideally a point source of sound which emits sound in all the directions in a radially symmetric way. So for a monopole, a sound field generated due to monopole and if there are no reflecting surfaces then the variation of sound field in the theta direction and also in the psi direction. So they are both these variations, they are exactly zero. The only variation which happens for the sound field in a spherically symmetric system is in the radial direction. So with this kind of a framework, we had developed the pressure wave equation for a monopole which looked something like this. And once we had developed this equation, we also went ahead and developed a general solution for this pressure wave equation and we found that a general solution for this pressure wave equation looks something like this. Unlike 1D wave propagation in a Cartesian frame where we had forward traveling wave and also we had accounted for reflections because of the fact that here we are not talking about any reflections till so far. So because of that we have only a function f 1 which depends on t minus r over c. There is no equivalent function for a reflected wave which would have looked something like f 2 of t plus r over c because there are no reflections in this system and there is no provision for reflections in this kind of a system and that is the constraint which we have imposed upon ourselves as we are developing the theory for propagation of sound which is getting emitted through a monopole. Finally we had said that a particular, so this is a general solution and then we had stated that a particular solution which is consistent with this general solution is something like this function where p plus of r omega is nothing but a complex number p plus divided by r times e minus j omega r over c. So these are the three things we had talked about in the last class and today what we will do is that we will extend our understanding of a sound field attributable to a monopole further and by addressing two or three important questions. The first question is how does velocity relate to pressure in this kind of a radially symmetric field. Second question would be what is the impedance of what is the impedance in such type of a sound field and the third would be we will be introducing a new concept called volume velocity. So we will start talking about velocity and its relationship with pressure. To address this question that how does velocity in a spherical, a spherically symmetric sound field relate to pressure we will use the Newton's law which we had developed earlier and what we had seen was and we are just drawing analogy from what we had developed earlier for a 1 d wave propagation equation for a Cartesian frame of for a Cartesian frame.  So this is essentially directly coming out of Newton's equation or the momentum equation and what this equation says is that the partial derivative of pressure with respect to r equals partial derivative of velocity with respect to time multiplied by density. So this is one equation and then we also simultaneously write the wave equation for velocity and the derivation of this wave equation for velocity is very similar to the derivation of pressure wave equation for a monopole. So I am not going to develop this particular velocity wave equation explicitly but this looks like partial derivative of u times r with respect to r equals 1 over c square 1 over c square times partial derivative of u times r with respect to time. So this is the velocity wave equation. Now from this wave equation just as we had developed a solution for pressure in this form similarly it is very easy to see that for the velocity wave equation for velocity wave equation a possible solution could be of this form where u plus is a function of r and omega which is equal to a complex number divided by r times exponent of minus j omega r over c. So this is equation 3. So the solution for a velocity wave equation we have drawn analogy from the solution for a pressure wave equation which is here and then we have just mapped that understanding while we wrote down the solution for a velocity wave equation through equation 3. So let us look at these three equations, equation 1, equation 2 and equation 3 and if I put this equation 3 in the RHS of equation 2. So this is my RHS. So if I put in this equation this thing and on the LHS side if I put this on the LHS side then what do I get? Let us look at it. So what we get is so we are combining equation 3, 2 and 1. So what we are going to get is so I am just doing on the pressure side. So I know the expression for pressure, I have put it here and I am going to differentiate it with respect to r. So this is how I have picked up my equation for the left side of Newton's equation and then that equals minus rho naught times partial derivative of u with respect to t. So I am going to plug value of u in Newton's equation.  So once again what I have done here is I looked at the Newton's equation. On the left side I have partial derivative of pressure with respect to r and here I replaced p with the expression for p which I had developed earlier and on the right side I have inserted the expression for u and now I am going to do further mathematical operations. So this becomes, so we know that p plus now is a pure number and so I will take it out of the parenthesis and now I am going to differentiate the entire thing with respect to r. So what I get is minus e j omega t minus r over c divided by r square minus j omega e omega t minus r over c divided by r c and this equals minus rho naught and now I am going to differentiate on the right side.  So I will process this now further and what I get here is p plus and I have negative here, I have negative, negative, negative so they all can go away right away. So what I am left with is 1 over r square and also the fact that I have e j omega t minus r over c in every single term. So I can also get rid of this it.  So rearrange this equation I get u plus over p plus equals 1 over j omega rho naught r plus 1 over rho naught c and this is same as I can multiply the numerator and denominator by the same term.     Now I know that z or the impedance depends on omega and r is essentially p plus of r omega divided by u plus of r omega. So from these two equations what I get is that z of r omega z impedance depends on omega as well as radius is equal to 1 over rho naught c plus 1 over j omega rho naught r and this whole thing is inverse and if I simplify this further what I get is 1 over rho naught c plus 1 over j omega rho naught r and this is nothing but rho naught c times j omega r divided by j omega r plus c. So impedance for a radially propagating wave as emitted through a monopole is 1 over rho naught but so this is the relation for impedance of a monopole and please be aware that this relation is valid to the extent that there are no reflecting surfaces. There are no reflections happening in the system. Now there are several observations which we can make as we look at this particular relation. One is that for a 1 d plane wave which would be travelling through a wave guide or tube for a 1 d plane wave the impedance was z naught and this was equal to rho naught c. Here z is for monopole and it changes with r it changes with radius. For a 1 d plane wave the impedance was not changing with radius it was or position it was constant it was constant and its value was rho naught c. So this is one very significant thing. The second thing is if I am far away from a monopole then the numerator which is j omega r and the denominator which is j omega r plus c the gradually approach 1 because the value of c becomes increasingly small with respect to j omega r. So if omega r plus c is approximately equal to omega r which means omega r is extremely large compared to c then z of omega r approaches rho naught c. So if I have a monopole and if I am extremely far from the monopole then the impedance which I will observe for the spherical wave which is moving out will be same as that of a planar wave. So essentially what it means is that if I am far away from a monopole then even though in a strictly mathematical sense the wave propagation is spherical in nature but it approximates to a monopole. So if I am far away from a monopole then even though the strictly mathematical sense the wave propagation is spherical in nature but it approximates to planar wave traveling out in one dimension. So that is the second implication. Now this is valid only when omega r is extremely large compared to c and we will qualify that now. So this is the second implication. So this is valid only if omega r is extremely large compared to c which means that r is extremely large compared to c over omega which means r is extremely large compared to c divided by 2 pi f which means r is extremely large compared to c over omega r. So this is lambda over 2 pi. So whether I am far away from a monopole or not it depends on the wavelength of the wave which is being emitted. If compared to one sixth of the wavelength I am far away from a monopole then my observations of that sound source will be very similar to that of a planar wave, 1D plane wave. So that is another important observation which we see here. So once again in a 1D plane wave the impedance is Z naught which is same as rho naught c and it does not have any dependency on r or it does not have any dependency on omega. In a spherical wave which is being emitted by a monopole the situation is different and in such a case the impedance depends on omega and it also depends on the position of observation but if I am far away from the monopole in the sense that the distance between the observation point and the monopole is significantly large compared to one sixth of wavelength then in that case the impedance will be approximately same as that of a 1D plane wave which is rho naught c. So this is how the velocity and pressure are related for spherical waves through this term called impedance. Now we will move on to a new concept called volume velocity.  So I have just rewritten the expression of pressure but now I am going to divide it by impedance and that will give me my velocity. So I have a relation for pressure and I have a relation for velocity and if I know the impedance and if I also know this p plus then I can find how pressure and velocity are varying with respect to r and also with respect to time but in a lot of situations it is difficult to find this value of pressure using physical or actual experimental measurements. So the way this challenge is addressed is by finding a different quantity called volume velocity and which we will develop which we will explain in a while and once we have figured out what the volume velocity is then from that particular measurement then we can calculate the pressure field and velocity field for a monopole. So it is for ease and for convenience that we have developed the concept of volume velocity and we use this concept to estimate and measure pressures estimate pressure field and velocity field for monopoles.  Now suppose I have a sound source and I am at a distance r 0 away from this. So let us assume that I am r 0 away from this source then u plus r 0 omega equals 1 over rho 0 c plus 1 over j omega rho 0 r. Now suppose I have a sound source and I am at a distance r 0 away from this. So let us assume that I am r 0 away from this source then u plus r 0 omega equals so what I have done here is I have rewritten the expression for complex pressure and amplitude complex pressure amplitude and I have replaced r by r 0 then I am going to rearrange this particular relation and so that I can express it develop a relation for p plus.   Times j omega rho 0 exponent of j omega r 0 over c divided by and I am dividing the numerator and multiplying the numerator by c. So what I get is I have eliminated c from the numerator and what I get is 1 plus j omega r 0 over c. So at this time we introduce this term called volume velocity and we define it. So suppose I have a diaphragm suppose I have a diaphragm and it is moving back and forth and let us say it is velocity is v then the normal area of the diaphragm normal in the sense suppose the velocity is like this and the diaphragm is like this then the normal area of the diaphragm times the velocity will be the total amount of fluid which will be displaced by the diaphragm as it moves back and forth. So that is what is known as volume velocity. So v v s I call as volume velocity of source and this is nothing but dot product of velocity of source and area of source. So it could be a diaphragm it could be a pulsating sphere if there is a pulsating sphere again it will be total surface area times the velocity at which the sphere is expanding and contracting expanding and contracting. So I have to take the dot product of the velocity and the area which is moving out back and forth. This is nothing but velocity of source and then there is a dot product times area. Now in case I have a diaphragm in case I have a diaphragm and it is a circular diaphragm then and if it is a circular diaphragm and let us say its radius happens to be r naught or for that matter it could even be a sphere and if its radius is r naught then a equals 4 pi r naught square. So you have a sphere this radius is r naught and its pulsating sphere so that is the area.   Now once again because u plus of r naught omega could be a complex entity so v v s could be complex entity and it may change with respect to omega and it will also depend on the value of r naught. So I have this volume velocity so pressure magnitude complex magnitude pressure is same as v v s divided by 4 times times this complex function. Now if omega r naught over c and is extremely small compared to 1 that is 2 pi f r naught over c is extremely small compared to 1 which means r naught is extremely small compared to lambda over 2 pi then so if this is the case that the size of this sound source is extremely small compared to 1 sixth of wavelength if that is the case then the denominator term just collapses to 1 and in this case p plus is equal to v v s divided by 4 pi times j omega rho naught e j omega r naught over c and that is it the denominator is 1 instead of 1 plus j omega r naught over c. So if that is the case then pressure field I can write it as real of v v s times 4 pi r naught over c and that is it the denominator is 1 instead of 1 plus j omega r naught over c. So if that is the case then pressure field I can write it as real of v v s times 4 pi times j omega rho naught times e j omega r naught over c times e minus j omega r over c times e j omega t. So I am using my original expression for pressure and I realize that because of this condition r naught is extremely small compared to lambda over 2 pi this term also is approximately equal to 1. So if that is the case then I can simplify this as so this is why simplified expression for pressure. Essentially what this relation tells us is that if I have a monopole and I know its approximate size and let us say it is emitting sound of a frequency f and monopole is extremely small compared to the wavelength then in that case it is very close to an ideal monopole which has of a 0 size that is 1. Second thing is then the total area of the this sound source if I multiply that in a dot product sense with the velocity of the oscillating or pulsating surface and then I then from that I can get volume velocity and then I can use that volume velocity to compute the pressure field generated by the monopole. That is essentially the crux of this entire development which we have talked about till so far. So we have volume velocity of a system it is with dot product of velocity and area surface area from that I can compute volume velocity and then using this volume velocity I can calculate the pressure field using this particular relation with the condition that the size of this source has to be extremely small compared to the wavelength of the sound which is being emitted by the source. Thank you very much.

Hello everybody. Welcome to the ITTT weekly live stream. My name is Lisa and today we're going to discuss an extremely important topic which is related to English teaching as a non-native ESL teacher and it's rather controversial because the field is pretty competitive. So many people want to find out if it is possible to stand out or not. So let's just quickly change the slide. So the reason I decided to choose this topic is that one of my regular viewers, watchers, visitors asked me about how to actually stand out as a non-native ESL teacher, especially online and I find it really important. So let's discuss it today. And before we move on, please let me know that you can hear me clearly and you can see me clearly because just right now I speak in front of myself and I cannot see anyone but I hope that you guys are there and I can reach you. So let me know via the chat box that you can hear and see me clearly. And if you don't know me, my name is Lisa, I am an ITTT TEFL expert and I'm super glad to welcome you to this live session. Thanks for coming. Okay, so moving on, I'd like to remind you that because you guys are super active and you come to watch this live sessions, ITTT shares this 30% discount of any ITTT TEFL courses. So if you guys feel like you want to take a TEFL course or you want to move your career to the next level, feel free to scan this QR code and yeah, you will get this 30% discount or otherwise you can just follow the link from the chat box and you'll be good. Okay, so if I have already mentioned today's live session is devoted to the problem of being a non-native ESL teacher online in such a competitive field and I'd really love to correspond to this problem and share my personal experience on how to build your personal brand on various social networks or just online like with your website or any other resources. And to begin with, I would like to refer to your personal brand. So basically, a personal brand is something related to marketing and I believe that most of you are pretty familiar with this topic, with this point. However, I still feel like this approach can be applicable to TEFL teaching as well. So for example, if you are a TEFL teacher in the beginning of your online teaching career, it's a great idea to implement this personal brand strategy to your profile. And it's pretty simple actually. What you have to do in the very beginning is telling your story and when we talk about this point, we want to make a clear picture to help other people to see you and to see you the way you want them to see yourself. And to do that, I'd like to draw your attention to these two very points. The first one would be, it is necessary to understand who are you. And it is always important to show what are your interests and maybe passions, what traits of personality you have and what are your values. So these key points will help you to make up, to build up your personal profile and share your story with the rest of the community. And another point is that it is really important to show what is your purpose. For example, it is necessary to explain what's your mission and why you're going to express yourself at the very beginning. And here is actually where you can add your credentials. Usually people get a lot of certificates. They become really professional theoretically. However, they don't know how to express it and how to show it to potential clients. And this is how it is actually done. So if you really want to connect with your prospective clients, it's a great idea to include your credentials into your brand story. And when we talk about your personal brand, it's almost the same as a brand of any other company. So you want to make sure that you look reasonable and you build this trust. Credentials actually help you to do that. And here I'd recommend you to list your certifications, diplomas and other stuff related to your professional development. But at the same time, it is really vital to show off your experience. If you don't have any, it's not a problem. The thing is you have to be proactive to work on your feedback. Like you have to find someone who will be able to give you this first feedback. And for this sake, it's a great idea to do some volunteer teaching, for example. Also, what is really valuable by other people is something you share for free. So apart from volunteer teaching, it's a great idea to share some resources as well. And I'll dwell upon this point a little bit later. But now I just want to share this example. So for example, I want to reach other people and I want to make sure they understand me as a brand. So what will I do? I'll try to tell them my story. And here it is. So I'm a TEFL certified ESL teacher with seven years of international experience, passionate about foreign languages, cultures and travel. So in this part, I try to include my credentials, partially my story, like how I began doing that. And what are my interests and passions? And in teaching, I try to implement a personal approach to every student and strive to build a relationship with everyone. So it is also really important to express your relation and approach to your teaching, to your work. And finally, I'll try to explain what is my mission, but it should be rather brief because people don't pay much attention to long reads, to long stories. So make sure that you keep rather short. And so my mission, for example, is to help students to overcome a language barrier and cross the cultural boundaries and think out of the box by sharing my knowledge and experience. So this is a sample story, but how to share it actually. And for this point, I'd move on to the next slide, because this is where you start building your community. So when you are at the very beginning of your career and you basically don't have any clients, you have to think of building trust with other people. And here I'd recommend you to think of your friends and families. Those are people who are usually supportive and who can help you to reach other people as well. Sometimes Tefl teachers in the beginning of their career still have old clients like some previous clients, maybe from your past jobs. For example, I used to work in an amusement park when I was at university, and I found several close friends there. So I reached them out and shared my story and shared that I started teaching and asked them to tell other people about myself. And usually if you have this close connection with others, they are pretty open to tell about you. And what is the most cool about this approach is that word of mouth works best. When people say good stuff about yourself, other people just believe. And that's it. And the last point would be it is still important to find some new loyal followers. So this is something to keep in mind. You still want to make friends with others and you want to show yourself as a professional. So here what is quite important is to show others that you're interested in their stories and that you are engaged with them as just other people. So it's just something that matters in any type of relationship, either business ones or just some friendly relationship. The next point is that when you have your small community, like even 10 people is a community, you want to give value to these people. And here is when we start building trust over different resources like social media, using various strategies and content. And also we build this engagement and trust with others. And what is really important on this stage is that you have to stick to your values. You want to show that you are always consistent in your sayings, in your vision and whatever. So just remember that when you build this community, you can't change your opinion that often. However, it is still possible. And if we move back to the point of how to build your personal brand, I'd say that it's not just about social media. It's also possible to do in real life on the first place and then to do it with some other resources apart from social media. However, it is always better to know where your audience exists, like for example, YouTube. Some people prefer to watch YouTube. So maybe it's a great idea to start building your social profile on this network. However, some other people are more often to serve Facebook, for example. So this social network might be beneficial as well. So just try to think of as many resources you could use in order to achieve your goal, like in order to show that you are a professional and to make sure everyone knows it and believes you. And here I'd say that another factor which helps teachers to create this personal brand story is an ability to sell. Of course, we don't want to sell, we don't want everybody to pay money for whatever, for just useless things. However, we want to show that we are trustworthy, that we are professional and stuff like that. And it is also related to this ability of selling yourself, of telling the best stories over other people. And yeah, this is actually how it's done. And if you ask me like if it's possible to tell stories over such resources as teaching platforms, here are a couple of examples. I just went to Italki to research some interesting teachers and I found these two guys. The first thing I done, the first thing I did was I watched their introductory videos and I learned something about themselves. So the first girl, she was really, really open minded in her video. She shared her interests, she told about her life experience and why she chose to teach people. And it was really, it was in a friendly manner. So she actually did a great job from my point of view. And she basically told her story and this is how she helped me to find out about her personal brand. The other guy, he was really consistent in expressing his strong opinion on the point of sharing language experience. Like he's proficient in different languages because he lives in India. And in different parts of India, people speak different dialects as I understood that. However, those dialects are pretty different and still this language helps to broaden yourself to open your boundaries. And it was also interesting to learn about his approach and his personal story. So I'd really like to take a couple of lessons with this guy as well. Apart from that, I also checked their profiles in order to find out if they connect with their audiences somewhere else. And it turned out that the first girl, she actually runs a YouTube channel which is pretty successful. And this is where she distributes her content just for free. So she basically gives value for no money and it helps to build trust as well. So it's also, I'd say it's also a part of her personal brand because this way she helps other people to understand in which areas she's actually professional. So basically you don't have to create your social media. It's just pretty normal to use this personal brand approach over online teaching platforms. However, if you still want to reach out to a lot of people, it's a great idea to use the power of social media as well. As for me, it's a really challenging approach because you have to be consistent and you have to spend a lot of energy on creating materials like creating content. You have to spend time communicating with your audience because it is also important to correspond to questions and maybe to comments online. So you still have to pull on your weight and take a lot of efforts. So it's something to think of and still I'd recommend you to consider this approach because it's a proactive one. And nowadays when we teach in this competitive field, it's quite important to be flexible and try different ways and ideas. So I still believe that something like that is real and a lot of teachers can try that. If we talk about this problem from another perspective, like if this strategy actually works with real employers like English teaching schools, for example, I'd say yes as well because such approach helps you to create your perfect resume and basically resume is also a paper which contains your brand story. However, it should be shorter and it should be really brief and focused on details. However, you still can use it to tell your personal story and it is vital as well. This is how you can actually reach your potential employers. And as for this part, I believe that is all what I wanted to say. However, I'd like to hear from you and let's have this Q&A session and I'd rather say let's have a discussion. So if you have any ideas on the point I've just mentioned, I've just talked about, please share your opinions and let's try to work productively right now. I think that this approach is really interesting, although it's not the easy one. But as for me, there is no easy way to stand out of the crowd and be the best teacher online. So this is the only way you can find clients and build this trust. And by the way, I forgot to mention that another key factor in your brand story is your client's feedback. So basically, if you have some experience, you can reach out to your previous clients and ask them for an honest feedback. If it is not that positive, it's okay. You can use it for the sake of working on yourself and working out your problems. However, if you still have some positive feedback, it's a great idea to store all of the good comments and words in your address. And later, when you figure out how to represent yourself online, well, make a folder or maybe a part on a website related to feedbacks. Because new clients and potential students, they prefer to choose between this teacher or that one based on some positive feedbacks. And if your feedback is pretty reliable, it's something to show off as well. Okay. Hello, guys. So, yeah, let's move on to the Q&A session. And I can see that there are several questions already. And I really move to the comments box. Okay. Yeah. Thanks a lot for joining. I can see a lot of familiar faces. Yeah. Okay. So, this question isn't related to today's point. However, we can briefly discuss it. I believe that the only way to become fluent is to practice as much as you can, but your practice shouldn't be circled over just one particular skill, but rather on various different skills. Like if you want to be fluent as a speaker, it's not enough just to speak. It is also important to listen a lot and to read different articles, books and whatever. So, I know that many English teachers, that many non-native English teachers, when they become pretty experienced in terms of English learning, they just stop working on their problems and they focus on teaching itself. However, it is still necessary to polish your skills. So, think of just being a student yourself, a student of like advanced level. Okay. So, yeah, basically this is the only way you become fluent. All right. Okay. So, yeah, Philip, you can totally comment and I'll reach you back after the session. However, if you still have any questions right now or any feedback and I don't know, maybe suggestions, please feel free to contact right now over the comments section. And I'll try to be helpful and I'll try to respond. Okay. Hello, Amitava. Nice to see you. Thanks for joining again. So guys, if you have any questions related to today's point, like how to stand out as a non-native English teacher, feel free to comment right now. Or if you have just other questions related to TEFL, maybe English teaching itself, please feel free to ask me as well. And by the way, here on the right, you can see this QR code which can move you directly to my Facebook group. I created a Facebook group to communicate with those who come to this live sessions. So, with other teachers, with those who are interested in TEFL and in online teaching. If you want to stay connected, if you want to keep in touch with me, please scan this QR code with your cell phone. And yeah, I'll be really glad to communicate with you. I think this way is really nice. And I am open to new people and appreciate when you guys reach me back. Okay. When you reach me out, actually. Okay, so Lisa asks if being a cheerful and a happy person might harm her professionalism. I think no, because it is extremely important to possess those qualities that you've just mentioned. So, I don't believe that there is anyone who prefers to work with modest and, I don't know, gloomy people. So, especially when we talk about teachers. And I have actually a really good example from my personal experience. So, last Friday, I spoke to one of my students father on the phone. And he mentioned that the only thing that keeps his daughter with myself is not actually my teaching, but rather the way I am. His daughter really likes to work with me as with a person. And I believe that such qualities as cheerfulness is something that helped me to create, to build that connection with the girl. Of course, I try to put a lot of efforts to creating interesting materials for her to explaining everything as interesting and engaging as it is possible. However, my personal qualities are probably even more important because students, especially the younger ones, they want other people to be kind with them, especially teachers. And if we, for example, distinguish between tutors and school teachers, we know that those teachers who work with bigger groups, they don't have this opportunity to build close relationship. Okay. So, yeah, I think that cheerfulness and being a happy person is actually something that really can help you to look even more professional. But the thing is, you have to tell your right story. So try to make this personal brand be based on your cheerfulness and happiness. Yeah, something like that. Okay, so the next question. So what is the best and easy way to change parents mindset to lift up their children to learn English? So do you mean some parents don't want their children to learn English? If yes, then probably it's a great idea to show the benefits which English gives to those who can actually speak it and who can do other stuff English like read English books, watch movies without translation and stuff like that. So, for example, when you talk to open-minded parents, they usually mention that the most beneficial aspects from learning English for their children is an ability to be successful in future. Like to have more career perspectives, to have more opportunities to study abroad, for example, and this is something which drives those parents a lot. I know that for some parents, it is challenging to pay for private classes, for example, or just for some extra classes. However, they still know that knowing English is a necessary skill this day. What is important for you as a teacher to make sure that you fit your potential clients? Like, if you meet parents with the mindset like that, who don't want their children to learn English and who don't understand why it is necessary, then probably it's just not a perfect fit for you as a teacher. And the most important thing here is to stay comfortable as a teacher. Because we usually think about others, we usually think about how to comfort other people, how to comfort clients, but we don't think about ourselves. So, if it's not a perfect fit, just don't worry, just don't take it personal and move on to the next opportunity. Okay. Yeah, thanks a lot. I'm glad to share my experience, although it's not that rich, I should say. However, I really like to give this value. Okay. Yeah, and thanks a lot. Thank you for being so kind with me. All right. Yeah, that's true. So, sometimes teachers just think about so many things, but not about themselves, which is actually not the best approach probably. Okay. And I also, a couple of days ago, I follow one teacher blogger on Instagram. So, just something for you to know, in Russia, a lot of teachers create personal blogs on Instagram. And this is the way they actually share their knowledge and experience and at the same time, build their personal brands. So, a couple of days ago, I came across my colleagues' stories on Instagram, and she shared that she has burnt out recently. Like, she doesn't want to teach, she doesn't want to spend time teaching one-on-one classes, and she feels tired constantly. And then she started explaining, like, what's her schedule, and I just thought that she burnt out not because she doesn't like it, but because of the amount of hours she spends on one-on-one teaching. And moreover, she tries to give value in some other areas which are actually not related to teaching itself. For example, when her students come to her classes feeling depressed and being in a bad mood, she always tries to comfort them. She always tries to ask, like, what happened? Sometimes they share stories of being bullied or stories of having troubles in their families, and she is not a teacher at that time. She is a psychologist or a psychiatrist, even. So, from this point of view, we spend so much of our energy, we just don't have time to recharge our batteries. And, yeah, it's not the best approach, probably.  Okay. All right, guys. So, we've been 40 minutes online already, and I believe that we've discussed a lot of things. However, if you still have anything on your mind and you want to ask me something, just feel free to do it right now.  All right. Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with me, because usually these live sessions are really challenging. On the first place, I'm not a native speaker, and I'm not the best speaker, probably. So, every time I go live, I try myself. Yeah. So, thanks a lot for sharing your attitude and opinion. I appreciate it. And thanks a lot, guys, for your support and that you come to this sessions regularly. All right, guys. So, I believe you don't have any questions further. So, let me just remind you that this live session is provided by ITTT, International Teflon and TESOL Training. We are presented on various social networks, and we try to give you this value over your favorite social media. So, feel free to connect with us, feel free to stay with us, and let's keep in touch. And if you want to communicate with me personally, you can always leave a comment under videos like this or direct message me on Facebook. I'm an open-minded person. I really like to communicate, and I don't mind if you DM me. Otherwise, I've already mentioned that I created this Facebook group. Let me just quickly share the direct link over the chat box because I know some people don't like to scan QR codes because it's not that convenient. So, let me just share the group link. And, yeah, welcome to the group. If you want to talk to me, please feel free to do that. I'll try my best to help you out. And I'll see you next week, guys. If you have any suggestions for the future live streams, maybe you want any specific topics, feel free to tell me as well. And, yeah, I'll try to give you even more value. Okay? So, thanks a lot for coming and bye-bye.


What's up everybody, Jason here for jasperjasecasebreak.com, 2021 upper deck, the cup hockey just sold out, this is a two box break, pick a jeans number five, and it's the second, the middle of the case, now we're doing the next two boxes. So, here's everybody that bought in, straight up. Zachary got the devils last bomb mojo. And then of course, again, we have stack two and three remaining. So, we'll do one, two, three for the top, four, five, six for the bottom. Let's see which one we use here. And it's a six. So, one, two, three, four, five, six, we're gonna go with the bottom stack. So, these ones here in the middle could potentially break tonight. We'll see. Oh, there you go, yeah.  The devils been sniping it pretty fast. Yeah, for the Mariners, you gotta hope you get at least the short print to at least kind of almost break even, if anything, right?  If you get the autograph, you're in the clear, you know, when it comes to the Mariners. But it's kind of tough, you know. All right, all time alum, Nicholas Backstrom. No, this is a normal box, Terry. They're usually that thin.  All right, so we have, that is Red Wings, Mike Tower. We have Jacob Truba to chew 49. That's one there for the Rangers. Oh, there we go, guys. How about that? Caprice off 91 out of 99. Three-color patch and autograph. There we go. We have Leon Faldi to 49. That is Columbus Blue Jackets, Dilo. And we have a Anders Lee. Nice script of swatches. That is 10 out of 35. My sheet says Joe Christian, Minnesota Wild. I think he got them in all three. Islanders, that's going to Dilo. Nice lamp lighters. Sam Reinhart, beautiful card. Buffalo Sabres, Mike Tower. It really looks like a goal lamp. Dude, that Hamilton I hit on Instagram, did you guys see that one? It was a watch, a Relic 101. Well, I guess his driving glove has a watch printed on his glove. That was nuts, dude. I don't think we took a proper, well, I took a proper photo of it, but Nick only posted up the reaction video. But it was such a really, really nice card with my phone at. I've never seen a patch like that. But when you're Lewis Hamilton, I guess you're going to have a printed on watch on your glove. Yeah, it was pretty nuts. Ridiculous. Personal box on Instagram, guys. Alright, Thomas Arley. To 249. I've been on a good streak this week, though, guys. I've been hitting a lot of nice stuff. We have a Brent Burns Sharks Cup. And we have a nice patch there. P.S. Sutter, 129 out of 249 RPA. Then we got a Nils Hoglander at a 99. Signature material rookies. Vancouver Canucks, Shawn Matic. Then we have a Trio's Premium Materials. That's Max Pateretti, Alex Tuck, and Mark Stone. Two out of ten for the Vegas Golden Knights. Dilo with that one. Last one. Another lamp lighters. Wow, Steve Iserman, man. That looks sweet. And I'm sure Mike Towers is excited about this card. Solid two boxes here, guys. So, remember, guys, with Cup Hockey, obviously, if you pull a Cup RPA rookie to 99, it's probably only one. I've never seen it with two. But in this year's class, there's a lot of out of 249s that are pretty solid players. So, like I said, we'd love to get the last two boxes done. This has been a very amazing case. I feel like it's going to end off pretty strong. So, like I said, look out for those two out of 249s. There's still a lot of them. Jason Robertson's even out of 249 in this product. So, all in all, though, pretty nice cards, though. And Madison had a couple of really nice ones, including Caprice off True RP in 99. So there you go, guys. Appreciate it, guys. JaspysCaseBricks.com.


Hi everybody, Joe for Jasper's Case Breaks.com coming at you with 2022 Tops Chrome Baseball Update Edition. Full 12 box break, break number two, and it's a random division break. No vet commonship here, but everyone gets a random division in Major League Baseball. Big thanks to this group. Thank you. Happy New Year. Congrats to Michael and Martin for winning those spots in that capstone break that we did, that filler break. Thanks to Sugarbean, Joe, Harry, Michael for getting your spots straight up. There are your divisions right here. Let's match over the division. Let's randomize your names and divs five and a one six times. One, two, three, four, five, and a one six and final time. Joe down to Michael. Five and a one six times for the divisions. One, two, three, four, five, and a one six and final time. After six, A.L. East down to A.L. Central. A.L. Centro. All right, Joe A.L. East, Harry N.L. West, Michael A.L. West, Sugarbean N.L. East, Martin N.L. Central, Michael A.L. Central. Let's sort by division. All right. Now I'm going to pause the video when we come back. We're going to see if there's any trades. Then we'll have this full case breaks. Stick around, B, R, B. All right, welcome back, everybody. No deals were done here in this break. So the divisions remain the same here on Saturday, the 7th, 2023. I already in 23rd and 23rd. Big thanks to this group for making it happen. Appreciate it. And let's dive in to this full case. Top's chrome right here. Right, here we go. There's update series right here. There's all the guys there. There's the pack configuration look for autographs and one of them super fractures. We're always looking for super fractures. I don't know if there's anything guaranteed per box. There'll be a lot of purple parallels from what I'm understanding. Select box. I don't think every box. Select box will also contain autographed cards from MLB rookies, numbered parallels, no vet common ship. But all the important rookie cards will ship. So if you see me miss like a variation or something like that, don't worry about it. It will go to you. Good luck, everybody. Well, I've been away. Happy New Year, everyone. I've been away on my winter break for a little bit longer than I usually do. So what's been any baseball? We'll eventually talk about some other sports because it's such a long break, but we'll start with some baseball. Any crazy baseball news? Harry's Philly's getting Greg Soto from the Tigers in a five player deal. It's going to help out that bullpen. Not sure if there's anything. Is there anything else crazy going on here? I guess not. This should be a surprise to anybody, but the Dodgers did end up releasing or designating Trevor Bauer for assignment. They had until yesterday afternoon to add into the 40 man. So we'll see if another team ends up picking them up. It's got to get through get through waivers. I guess Mariner signing AJ Pollock. Giant ended up signing Michael Conforto. Brewers signed Wade Miley. Dimeback's re-signing Zach Davies. Cubs in agreement with Eric Cosner. Oh, that's right. Philly's got Craig Kimbrell as well. If he bounces back, Craig Kimbrell, maybe in non-high lever situation, that'll still be helpful for the Phillies. He's still pretty solid. White Sox signed Andrew Benintendi. John McSmith a one year deal with the Nationals. Oh yeah, Devers signed a long term deal, right? Oh no, just a one year deal. Sorry, one year deal. It's avoiding arbitration. What else? Diamondback signing Longoria to a one year deal. It's all these smaller little deals. I guess Rex was talking about this a little bit earlier. I think that Carl's Korea isn't officially signed yet, right? So he's still hanging out there. What's going to happen? So these are the purple parallels. Not numbered, but they will of course ship. McCovey, Chris Bryant Purple. There's a Bobby Whit Jr. Nice. That's his rookie debut car. That's going to be for Seattle. That's A.L. West, Michael and Bobby Whit Jr. A.L. Central. That will be for Michael Losey as well. It's Jack Sawinski to 299. Alright, so Chad Dahl was saying that the all-star game refractors, not numbered, but the regular refractors, they are numbered. And the purple torquelson, nice. And that is for the A.L. Central. That'll be for Michael Sawinski, N.L. Central. That'll be for Martin. Sometimes those inserts can be numbered as well. Alright, so that was box one. No other, I don't know if there's any other major baseball news happening. I guess we're all just waiting for, I guess, Korea to be officially signed. And then I guess we're just counting down the days to spring training. I guess Brian Reynolds still could be on the trademark. Remember, he requested a trade at some point. Are the Mets considering walking away from the Korea deal? So as of January 6th yesterday, this is according to MLB.com, the Mets have grown, quote, very frustrated in their negotiations with Korea, not considering walking away from the deal, reports SNY's Andy Martino, writing a conversation with a source with direct knowledge of the team's thinking. That said, negotiations are ongoing, the deal is not dead yet, Martino notes. New York Mets and Korea reached an agreement on a 12-year, $315 million deal in December. The contract hasn't been finalized, reportedly due to concerns about Korea's physical. The same reason the shortstop deal with the Giants fell apart. New York Post reported Thursday that Korea's camp has, quote, renewed contact with at least another interested team or two beyond the Mets, one of them including the Twins. So we'll see how that plays out. I think the Dodgers are already out on the Korea deal. I don't think they're not terribly interested in bringing them here. The Dodgers are on the hook for a big chunk of Trevor Bauer's contract.  I think they're going to count on the youngsters and see what emerges in the trade market. And once that luxury tax scenario resets for them, a lot of free agents at the end of the 2023 season probably show a little tiny. I think the Dodgers might might really make a big move for someone like him. Otherwise, I'm going to rely on guys like Ryan Pepio and some other youngsters see if that farm system can really see if that farm system, you know, does what it should do. They've been highly touted. Now can they, does that translate into the major major leagues? We'll see. Hey and Frank, what's up? How do I feel about Walker Bueller? Love Walker Bueller. But we're going to have to see what he's going to look like. There's Julio again. I'll have to see how he looks after he rehabs from Tommy John, but when healthy he's great. I mean, and what Tommy John is not the, I don't think is like the sort of death sentence for a pitcher as it was like maybe decades ago. Although this is his second though. Yeah, hang in your right. Actually, that just clicked in my head. I was like, wait a second. He got Tommy John when he was drafted. I got a Mackenzie Gore autograph. Nice. Nice rookie auto NL West. Harry with the NL West. 57 out of 125. Yeah. Second Tommy John, that's a little, that's a little more concerning, but I feel like, I feel like, you know, he was at such an elite level, right? Or at least trending that way to an elite pitcher. You know, if he gets a second Tommy John and turns into a great middle of the rotation kind of guy, I'll take it. I wonder if any of the like ESPN or the other guys kind of updated their, their rosters, depth charts. Oh, we also have a what's our, what's everyone's interest in the world baseball classic? That's got to be starting soon, right? Now, Walker Bueller got the surgery that Henry Roengartner did for the Cubs back in the 90s. I'm sure he will. Although if you think about it though, Mike, I feel like that surgery really only lasted half a season. Maybe that's not the way, that's not the way Walker Bueller should go. Because if you remember, towards the end of Roengartner's career, his short-lived career, that only lasted for like half a season. And then towards the end of the season or maybe the playoff in a critical situation, well, we all saw it on TV, during a critical situation, the, the elbow or shoulder ligament, the extra tightening loosened up very quickly. So, I mean, in a highlight, in a highlight that will last, that will be replayed on, you know, sports center for, for decades to come, he had to underhand the ball to one of the most fearsome hitters in the American, in the American League? Nationally? Who are they playing? Some guy in the Mets maybe. So hopefully that's the surgery, Walker Bueller did not do that surgery. How much, how much is one box of this update cost? I don't know, do we have any on our, I think on our Instagram channel we're selling personal box of these. 140 for a hobby box and 260 for a jumbo box. Oh no, I'm sorry. 110 for a top's chrome update. So, relatively speaking, not a, not a bad price point. I think just non-chrome update baseball is 140, non-chrome update baseball is 260 and then chrome update hobby box, which is what we're doing right here, is 109.99, 110 a box. I'm not sure when world baseball classic is happening, it looks like pool A starts in March, March 8th. And we'll take a closer look at this next box, I'm ripping open here. I'm sure there's a Wander Franco and a Joe Ryan Blue, 150 out of 199, with Junior and a Green, Connor Pilkington, 52 out of 75. For Cleveland, NL, check that AL central, that will be for Michael. It's AJ Pollock, just signed to Mariners, Bobby with Junior, AL central, a nice Bobby with Junior, Purple, AL central, Michael Lossia, last spot mojo. Yeah, hanging Frank says he's got a nice Walker Bueller card, he's trying to decide sell or keep. Yeah, that's a tough one. What does everyone think? My inclination is, you know, his value is probably at the lowest right now, so I would wait for the comeback, you know, because it's not going to be too much different, right? If you sell it now, what's the difference between now and if he's, you know, if that second Tommy John just derails his career entirely, the value now and the value then in that scenario would pretty much be the same, right? But there is a potential upside.  Do you have any idea what that card would be valued at now? Is it a rookie card or it's non-rooky? Yeah, maybe, maybe you, if you need the money, maybe you move that now. But I don't know, trouble is when people get injured with something like that, it's like out of sight, out of mind kind of thing. Well, that's a good question. I'm not sure, but you can check our personal breaks website for that. I know we're, we don't have any for group breaks, but check in with Teddy. He's on Instagram Live right now and check the personal breaks website that I just dropped in the chat. You can check there, but I don't know off the top of my head.  Sometimes the hobby, a lot of times is, is out of sight, out of mind, right? If the person's not present and making things happen, you know, then people aren't really looking for his stuff unless people are looking for buy low candidates. Next bottle, nice purple Wanderfranko. There we go. That's the kind of stuff we want to see. And a Jeremy Pena rookie card, Al West, Michael, and the Wanderfranko. Who's got the Al East? That's Joe. Joe Simone. Lakers are up by two now on the, on the Kings. And it's going to be weird seeing him in a Cardinals uniform. Oh, I think Brandon Marsh is going to be numbered. It's going to be weird seeing Trey Turner in a Philly's uniform, but he wanted to go back to the East Coast. There's Brandon Marsh at 299. Al West, Michael Lossia. I feel like they gave, the Angels gave up on Brandon Marsh a little early. Seemed to be pretty good for the Philly's, right? Philly's fans. When he was starting playoff games. There you go, Frank. I like, I like that optimism. Yeah. What's the, what is the timeline there? Walker, when did he, when did he get that surgery? It's usually a calendar year, right? Unless he's a fast rehabber. We might see him towards the, I guess, what about, uh, Dustin May? Dustin May went down in, in May, maybe even earlier April. There he is. He started throwing bullpens again in 2022. Yeah. So I think that's around when he really started getting into games until he had to build up his arm. Really didn't get into until maybe second half of the season. So yeah, maybe towards the end of the season for Walker Bueller. Maybe he won't be stretched out for starters innings, or at least proper starters innings. You know, five, six in a playoff game, but maybe be able to do like an opener. If he can be effective for a couple of innings, I'll still take that, or maybe in the back end of the rotation. Sam Banks, what's going on? Happy New Year. All right, next box. So no, no, no real interest in the world baseball class. I feel like these are one of those things that you don't really get hyped for until games start playing. You're like, Hey, I'm kind of getting, getting into it now.  Pool A's in Taiwan, pool B and quarter finals are in Japan. Pool C's in Phoenix, pool D, quarters, semis and championships are in Miami. Pool C's in Phoenix. Am I going to see world baseball classic games in Phoenix between March 11th and 15th? United States, Mexico, Columbia, Canada and Great Britain are in that pool. That'd be fun. That's a good way to, I'm, I'm sure, I haven't actually checked the list of upcoming releases. Tops has to have some sort of world baseball classic set or maybe at least inserts. Sam Banks doesn't like it. The Cardinals have too many players in it. You don't want them to get hurt. Our roster is official. I guess as of December of last year, this is a NBC Sports Chicago. I just Googled a random Google search here. NBC Chicago, NBC Sports Chicago, December 19th, 2022. As of then, the roster is up to 23 players with Goldschmidt Aranado as a JT Real, Muto, Phillies, Will Smith Dodgers, Peter Lanzo Metz, Goldie, Cardinals, Trevor Story Redsox, Aranado Cardinals, Bobby Wood Jr., Royals, Tim Anderson, White Sox, Trey Turner, Phillies, Mookie Betts, Dodgers, Cedric Mullins, Orioles, Kyle Schober, Phillies, Mike Trout, Angels, Kyle Tucker, Astros, Merrell Kelly, Diamondback, Nessar Cortez, Yankee, Kyle Freeland, Rockies, Brady Singer, Royals, Adam Wainwright, Cardinals, Logan Webb, Giants, David Bednar, Pirates, Dylan Tate, Orioles, Devin Williams, Brewers, Clayton Kershaw, Dodgers. Managed by Mark DeRosa. With Ken Griffey Jr.'s hitting coach, not bad, Andy Pettit as pitching coach, Jerry Manuel, bench coach, Luke Collier at first, Dino Ebel at third, and Dave Rigetti as your bullpen coach. Are they adding Wayno, Newt, Nicholas and Edmund on that too? Oh yeah, that's always a tricky thing when something like this rolls around. Oh, I see, I see. Newt and Edmund can play for one of the Asian teams. I see. Another Torkelson for the Alcantral, Michael. I like the ability to scout a little bit. It's pretty interesting. Oh, Lakers down by two, 52 seconds left. LeBron with the ball, drives, layup and in. Wow. LeBron James turning back the clock. That was a young man to move there. Oh, and an autograph. JP Sears. Yes, rookie autograph for the AL East, Joe. Not numbered, but a rookie autograph nonetheless. My attention might be diverted a little bit for the last few moments of this game. Oh, and one. Oh, Deban Svons fouls out. That's good, I'll take it. Oh, I see Sam. All right, Lakers up by one. I mean, not like super raw raw, but I don't know. It does bring it out of me when like, when national sports are being played, but it's hard to gear up for like the World Baseball Classic. World Cup, that's a different thing. Defense, come on guys, defense. Good defense being played. Five, four, three points. Oh, you got to get those. That's out of bounds. That's Lakers ball. Got a three-pointer that clanged off the back of the rim by the Kings. Lakers a little undersized, especially that AD. I'm unable to get rebound, but where did that go? Is that off a Laker? Is that off a Sacramento King? Looks like it might be Kings ball there. Your love for Yachty runs deep. Fair enough. But I guess when it comes to the World Baseball Classic, it's not like there's a deep tradition beyond the World Baseball Classic, like the World Cup, but I don't want anyone to get hurt. All right, next box, but it's a good time to, good time to kind of scout out some fear into that sort of thing. It's good to kind of scout maybe future talent. I think Otani may have had to been in a World Baseball Classic, I want to say. People saw an early look at him and his, his potential abilities. Tyler Nekwin blue, 150 out of 199. You Darvish? Maybe you Darvish had to have been in a World Baseball Classic, I think. You know, the spot, some, some talent there. Wow, did the Lakers steal it? And possession? I wonder. I suppose he could ask. Like who may, I'm assuming, I mean, I'm assuming it's people are asked or they, or they request and then manager says yes or no, I suppose. Is that how it works? There's a purple Bobby Wood Jr. Michael Losea, AL Central. Remember these all star game refractors, not number, but a Torkelson. Right gang. That was the first half of the case. Second half coming up. Another 30 or so minutes to go. Let's see how my Lakers, yeah, Lakers ball, they're going to inbound it, inbound back to Westbrook. You're going to take the foul? No, I'm not going to take the foul. He's going to dunk it. He's going to get two points. He's looking for the N1 as well. Might have had it. One of the Kingsfers, it kind of touches waste, maybe not grab the waste, but I've got two hand touch and football, two hand touch football. Now Westbrook wants that N1 because they've left 18.9 on the clock. Oh, he does get it. So now he's got to make this. Doesn't get that one. We got to get this one. Two tie, two will tile right now. Two will win it. Syncs the second one. Lakers up by two. 18 seconds left. Clock running, clock running, clock running. Half court defense. Defend the three boys. Two will tie. Turn around, jumper Kings. Syncs it. Tied at 134, but 6.8 seconds left. And yeah, call the timeout. Bring it up to the half court. All right. So Darren Fox with the turnaround jumper at the elbow. 6.8 left. Game tied with 134. Lakers take their final timeout. Kings have a timeout. Decent defense by Dennis Schroeder, but Darren Fox is just too crafty, just too clever. 6.8 left. They're not going to commercial. Nice purple Julio Rodriguez. AL West, Michael Losea. That's what the spot that he won in the filler. Say a Zuggie purple. NL central, Martin, the spot that he won. Hang on a second, folks. Lakers inbound, 6.8 seconds. Westbrook inbounding with LeBron, Schroeder, none. Beverly on the floor. Westbrook into Schroeder in the back court. Schroeder in the front court. Drives, floats it up to the rim. And what? What happened? And on the volume on. Is that a foul? On Dennis Schroeder? He's got two with two seconds left. Shooting foul. Well, they're all going to be shooting at this point there in the bonus. Have an autograph coming. Ooh, nice auto. Rookie auto, Stephen Kwan. Julio Rodriguez didn't exist. I feel like Stephen Kwan might have had a shot at AL Rookie of the Year. There he is. That's going to go to the AL central. It's going to be for Michael Losea. There you go, Michael. Northern California kid. And another box. Okay, he made challenge four a foul and it's successful. We're not successful. It is successful. Shooters at the line. He put some time back on the clock. 3.6 seconds. These are huge, Dennis.  Sinks the first one. Like just up by one. I think there's been surprisingly well since Anthony Davis has gone down. I think maybe a couple games over 500. I'd not expect that. That other key guy's injured too. And sinks the second one. No timeouts. The Kings. They got to inbound that. And Lakers playing a full court press. They get it in. Full court press. Logo shot. Off the back of the rim. Lakers win by two. Good job, Lakers. People are hugging. People are happy. Next box. Baseball around the corner, ladies and gentlemen. Bobby Whitjr. NFL season. Going to be done. What, by tomorrow? Do we have money at football tomorrow or in two days? No, right? I think everything's done on Sunday, I want to say. So football sort of depressingly is coming to an end while once one sport nearing the end, another sport about to start. Yeah, that's it. Sunday. All the all the remaining games are all day Sunday. There is a Sunday night game. There's a Philly here. There's Simon Musiotti. 70 out of 250. Nice looking aqua parallel for the AL East joke. Well, there's, I feel like there was a couple base cards of O'Neill Cruz, but which obviously will ship Martin, but nothing, nothing like a purple parallel, which is exclusive to this set. Nothing numbered. You know, which is what we want to see. We want to fry those big fish. But there's still a lot of boxes left. There's a purple Jeremy Pena. That's where the AL West, Michael. All right, four boxes to go. Yeah, let's play to the whistle. Let's see what happens there. Now anyone know off the top of their head the the NFL playoff implications? What's going on? I feel like it's very complicated down to the wire. Very complicated. There's could be a ton of scenarios. So there'll be some seeding issues. I suppose we're still up to see who's going to be. So I think these are all yeah, I guess maybe seeding is where a lot of clenched scenarios here. But in the AFC, there are three teams still up in the air. I guess Patriots are currently sitting in that seventh spot, seven seed spot, but Miami's on the outside looking in Steelers on the outside looking. Miami has the tiebreak over Pittsburgh. Patriots had the tiebreak over Pittsburgh and they have the tiebreak over Miami. So basically those two Miami into the Steelers want to see a loss from the Patriots, which is possible because the bills are playing the Patriots I want to say. So Miami win, Steelers win. Patriots lose. Miami and Steelers would have the tiebreak over the Steelers. Steelers need I guess a Patriots loss and a Dolphins loss. That could sneak them into the playoffs. And the Steelers are playing, they're hosting Cleveland. And the NFC, is the NFC spoken for? I suppose the number one seed for the Eagles still in play. That's not locked up. And then we got Seahawks, Lyons, and Packers, all three at eight and eight. We're going to get in. Brian, hello. How's it going? Happy New Year. And the Seahawks. Oh, so Detroit at Green Bay. That's a Sunday night football. That looks like a win and in situation. So Seahawks under Rams at Seattle. Seattle should be able to win that one. Who's at 13 that was hanging around there? Oh yeah, Seattle Lyons Packers. That's it. Could be an interesting some interesting games to watch. Ooh, that's interesting because it's a printing plate. That's Cooper Hummel. One of one printing plate. This is my first train whistle of the new year and you are here to witness it. Congrats to the NL West. Harry. Diamondbacks. NL West. Harry. All aboard the Big Hit Express. Woo-hoo. You know, first one for me for the new year. And a Purple Bobby Witt Jr. And a Purple Jeremy Pena. Jeremy Pena, AL West, Michael. Michael also has the AL Central gets that Purple Bobby Witt Jr. You want to see zero sophomore slumps for these big names. Zero sophomore slumps. Stay healthy. Zero sophomore slumps. There's a Purple Seahawks Suzuki for the NL Central for Martin. Yeah, Martin, we've seen a couple of these MLB debut O'Neill cruises, but nothing significant beyond that. We want to fry that bigger fish. Let's see what we can do. It's on the break schedule. Yeah, we will be doing it tonight. That's on the sketch. And that'll probably bring us to the end of the evening, actually. Got a Purple Julio Rodriguez, AL West, Michael Osia. Stephen Punk, what's going on? Stephen Punk's always game to give me a prediction. Houston wins tomorrow. Bears lose. Bears get the number one pick. Wow. Who does Houston have to be for that scenario to happen? They're at Indianapolis. That's possible. Where are the Bears playing tomorrow? Bears could probably lose a game, right? They could lose to Minnesota. That's possible. And number one overall pick. First off, here's a Rookie Auto, Ethan Roberts, NL Central Cubs, Martin. Oh, but Fields isn't playing, I see. Yeah, so that's even easier for them to lose. Texas could win that game. And then the Bears will just pick the easiest thing for the Bears to do is get an offensive line. Oh no, Stephen Punk says Bryce Young? No, I don't think so. I think, I think, I feel like Justin Fields has shown enough to be, to be worth building around. Like you gotta, do you think they're, while Brian's saying quarterback too, C.J. Stroud? Stroud Stroud? Maybe they, maybe Justin Fields hasn't. I thought you'd just go with the boring like left tackle or something like that. Someone could be there for like 10 years and get some Pro Bowls and all pros. I mean, Fields isn't being able to do a lot with, with not a lot of weapons to throw to. A offensive line that isn't that great. I mean, if you get Bryce Young or C.J. Stroud, that's like, that's the same problem, right? It's still gonna be the same offensive line and the same lack of weapons. You know, et cetera, et cetera. I mean, basically you're just starting that process all over again. It'll be the same thing. Oh, that's right. Bears don't have, don't have pass catchers, enough playmakers, enough of an offensive line to really do, to really do too much. So you're starting at square one again. Although Raiders are looking for a quarterback, I feel like the Raiders could use a, a young mobile quarterback like Justin Fields. And he'll have, he'll have an opportunity to throw to Devante Adams and Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow and hand them all off to Josh Jacobs and Raiders can just improve the offensive line and the defense. And that's that. There's a purple O'Neill cruise area. That's the stuff we want to see. That's for Martin in the NL central with the spot that he won in the filler. If Derek Carr gets ready, Devante Adams goes to, I mean, I don't know. Steven, if you're getting paid, if you're the, one of the highest paid workers at your work and your best friend gets traded or fired, I guess, in a real world situation, are you, are you going to be like, I will dump my, in solidarity with my friend that I work together with and work together very well with, but in solidarity I'm going to quit too. Give up this nice little salary and then see what happens on the open market. I guess you'd probably still get the same amount of money. I don't know. You, but you have to go to a new work, go to move to a new city, you know, figure out a new, new set of friends, coworkers, all that sort of stuff. Seems like a little bit of a hassle. In an autograph, we got Danny Young, rookie autograph for the Mariners, AL West, Michael Lossia. I mean, in all honesty, if Devonte Adams does want to leave, well, you tell me, Chad, you're the Mariners guy, who is Danny Young? You don't know who Danny Young is. Danny Young from Boca Raton, Florida, a lefty, lefty pitcher drafted by the Blue Jays eighth overall in 2015. Danny's road to Seattle included since in the Toronto and Cleveland organizations signed by the Mariners, the minor league free agent in February, 2022. The former U of Florida, Southpaw was called up after logging six straight scoreless appearances at AAA. Young toss two and a third shot out frames against the Phillies in his May 9th debut withing three. There you go. Now you know who he is. And a purple Spencer Torkelson. His Derek Hargon. I mean, all indications seem to point to that. Otherwise, I mean, when he was, when they benched him, essentially, there were still what two games left and still percentage points, you know, possibility that could make the playoffs. And, you know, you would argue that Derek Carr would give your team the best chance to win your QB one, but they decided against it. So annuous, I guess they agreed to that he goes home and not be at the facility. You know, all the pathologist people are saying that, you know, if you if you release Derek Carr before X date on the calendar, then the cap hit is much smaller, etc, etc, etc. So you get all those scenarios. All signs seem to be not, I don't know if it's fair. I don't think it's Derek Carr's fault that the season went like this. But, but I think he will be the scapegoat. Yeah, there are a lot of games with a lot of brutal, brutal losses for the Raiders. That was just a new way to do it. What was the other game after that? Two weeks after that. But yeah, I mean, I think I think they're going to use this as a, use this as a, as a, hey, we're going to part ways with Derek Carr. They'll try to get old man Brady in, I guess, or they'll try to trade for Aaron Rodgers or maybe try to sign Lamar Jackson free and see, although I don't think Lamar Jackson's will probably end up with the Ravens anyway. I mean, depending on where they end up in the draft, maybe they'll, maybe they'll draft the QB, but I mean, they've got so much work to do that I don't know why get a young QB with a bad offensive line. Although I mean, he'd be in a good, he'd be in a good, he'd have a lot of weapons around him throw to, but Raiders got to shore up that offensive line and really improve that defense. That defense is a killer. Too many big plays. Unable to pressure the quarterback. Offends of lines of Houston. Although it's decent at times, but it's just depth is an issue too. Once like one person gets injured, then it's the whole thing falls apart. The fact that the Raiders haven't been drafting very well over the last five or 10 years kind of shows the lack of depth that they really have. Yeah, it's even a lot, a lot of Raiders fans arguing that, that, that maybe, you know, Al Davis's son, Mark Davis, should sell the team and, you know, get a, get a big hedge fund billionaire owner to come in and, and really, really build out the, the infrastructure there. I think Tom, yeah, Tom Brady's probably staying in Tampa for another year or so, right? Lamar? I would take Lamar, I would sign Lamar Jackson. I mean, maybe, there's Muziotti again, 33 out of 50 for the Phillies, NL East. Sugar Bean, the NL East. No, we'll see. Raiders, very important offseason for the Raiders. It starts, I mean, starts with the quarterback, right? So that'll be one of the big decisions for the Raiders. Let's start with a QB, because if that QB isn't correctly identified, it doesn't even have to be a big name, just has to fit the team, all right? Doesn't have to be a big name, just fit the team. Yeah, well, I think Jimmy G is a free agent, right? And Garoppolo has, has played under the, has played under the Josh McDaniel system before. So he's familiar with that offense.  And then same thing again, the following year, reinforce defense, reinforce offensive line through draft and free agency. All right, final box. Now you guys, and the Raiders have a thing, but what are you with Josh Jacobs? Now, I don't know what, what camp you guys are in, but you know, it's kind of hard to, there's a mountain of evidence that says, you know, running back to get that big second year contract more often than not, it's not, doesn't work out. For every, what, Derek Henry, there's, look at that Ezekiel Elliott contract. Maybe go back a few, the number of years, look at the DeMarco Murray contract. But yeah, I mean, the Raiders might have been stuck and they might have to be like, well, we can't let this guy go. He's, he's been playing through injury. He's been so gritty. He's been so, he's a great personality.  He's really more, more vocal as a leader. So as much as I don't like it, you might have to give him that money. Steve's saying, what's up with the top's chrome with the Paul Goldschmidt card buyback thing? I don't know. Something that tops is doing? Or are these old, like old Goldschmidt cards? Oh yeah, I think there was something, right? I think it was maybe in, in hobby shop only kind of deal where if you bring a particular Goldschmidt or Aaron Judge card, like the MVPs, they'll like buy them back from you somehow. Maybe get credit from your, your local car shop or something like that. Last box. And then I don't know, they're going to use them for a future buyback, something like that. I'm not sure what they're planning on. That was interesting. I think it was something to, to get people into some people, to get people into shops and have them buying boxes in the store. So I think, I think we have seen some people actually do that in our shop. Autograph? It is, it's Richie Palacios, Rookie Auto for the AL Central, that's for Michael Lossia, an autograph in the final box. Well, folks, we're getting towards the end. I'll do a little recap of some of the cards that we, we got here, but thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. Good to be back. Happy new year. Purple Julio Rodriguez. And stick with us. I mean, we had a great 2022. Stick with us throughout 2023. We'll break all the new product. We'll go through a, you know, a number of sports seasons together. We'll be talking baseball, breaking baseball. All of that will be on jaskiescasebreaks.com. We love doing this. We love talking sports. You know, we even meander around some other, you know, pop culture topics as well, especially during these longer breaks like this or during downtime in the stream and our live streams. Always join us for that. We're always goofing around doing things, trying to have a, you know, just having a little fun, all wrapped up in a nice family friendly show. At least you try to be most of the time. All right. So here's some of the highlights, some autos, some colors, some silvers. Got a printing plate. My first train whistle of 2023. Steven Kwan. A lot of nice stuff. Waterfrankos. Got that Mackenzie Gord too. That was pretty nice. 225. And a purple porcelain back there. There you go gang. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time in the next video, jaskiescasebreaks.com. Bye-bye.


All right, I'm going to talk about this piece, Levitando, which is actually a piece that was conceived about 10 years ago. And it's a rare case for me, because usually I do work on a piece, and I try to sort of figure out what I want to do with it and take it to the end. But in this case, I knew I wanted to do this work with a fee. And I did do it in several different materials. I did it in Gesso. I did it sculpting the foot. And then I decided to do a cast. And none of the materials I used initially I liked. So I had my Gesso heat, my stockings, hanging in my studio for 10 years. And I left it there, but I knew that I wanted to do something further with it until I decided to use a silica mold and do waxing. And that was amazing. Wax is a really incredible material. And it took a long time to sort of pour the wax in the molds. It took a day for each pair of pieces. And it turned out to be a really beautiful material and very sort of faithful to our skin, because I could get all the skin tones. And I never knew which color was going to come out. I had a lot of bees in my studio with the work. And a lot of the dust from the bees and the tariff molding, not the molding, where they make their hive, isn't the sole of the foot. So it seems like they were walking, but they're not. So I really like that. And I guess I'm always interested in working with the body. The popular media of the traditional history of art sort of has big conceptions about how to present the body. And there's always an association with the body part. And I really don't want to do that. I try to, my challenge is to challenge that, to not do that. I don't want to use a breast, for example, in my work. I don't necessarily be talking about sex. Or just use the body as a medium for other things that are not necessarily from the physical world. More like a channel for what is going through with us, our attitudes, our emotions, the places where we store things from our experiences. So fracturing the feet this way allowed me to sort of do what feet don't normally do. Like feet are supposed to be the support of our body, where we stand. And in this case, the support is coming from a different source. So in a way, this is like a limitation of faith that somebody else is really supporting us. It's being supported by an external source. And this source, which is the pantyhose, it's usually clothing is the frontier at the end of our body. And in this case, that frontier, instead of concealing our body, sort of becomes our body. And it makes our body as noticeable as it would have been. So also the gender, breaking gender stereotypes is important for me. And in this case, I'm using stockings that are a set of clothing that is very feminine associated with women. And the feet are not. So I like having this kind of a juxtaposition of elements. Going back to this piece again, can you talk a little bit more about the configuration of the piece, as well as, I don't know, with the shadows that are before our piece? Yes, very much. So we have very little. I think the piece is very much about our individuality, but it's also about our individuality within a community. So I think I always thought of this piece as an endless piece like it could really grow and take over the whole space. And I think the shadow just add on in terms of that dimension of making it more impressive, more expandable. That idea of the individuality within our community and the patterns of the shadow, they make me think right away about the bees and the wasps. Is that part of the design of the engine? Yes, I think there is a connection. Can you talk a little bit about how you came up with the idea that was generated from a personal experience? I think for me, most of my art comes from a personal experience within my social experience. So I think it's a lot about the world, how we're living in. I said the word trust because I think now one of the most important values in our world society is safety and being safe and no longer trusting people. And I think that's really detrimental to everyone. So I really like to sort of buy those basic human qualities, like trust and being able to be held and be okay and not doing what's expected. Do you feel any connection to feminist art movement in the 1970s or contemporary feminist art? I did. And I was sort of like a daughter. And it was really important for me at the beginning of my work. I started out as a painter and I did a lot of very feminist work in the center that was reclaiming the feminine body and sexuality. And that sort of really strengthened my work at that time. But I feel that now, although that really nourished me, I'm moving more toward talking about the body in general as we are both together.
