Arturia FX Collection is an impressive 30-plugging bundle of preamps and EQs, compressors, reverbs, delays, distortion, modulation and filters. So what's new in Arturia FX Collection 4? Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're well. I've actually covered all of the versions of Arturia FX Collection so far on this channel, so rather than revisit old ground, I thought in this video I'd focus on what's new in Arturia FX Collection 4. However, if you'd like to find out about all of the plugins in this collection, then I highly recommend you watch my playlist with the other videos that I've made for other versions. You can find a link for that in the description down below. Now I must point out that I'm not being sponsored by Arturia for this video in any way, shape or form. I've not been required to make the video or say anything specific. It's all my own opinion. However, this video is sponsored by DistroKid. If you follow the link in the description down below, you'll get 7% off an already amazing prize to distribute your music around the world. Now let's find out about the first new plugin in this collection. It's something I covered on the channel just recently. It's a great new reverb plugin. This collection already includes a number of really useful reverbs, things like this spring reverb here. There's also a plate reverb and there's this one, Rev Intensity, which continues to be one of my favorite reverbs ever. But new to the family, we have this one, LX24. Now this is based upon a really famous reverb unit from the 1980s from Lexicon and it was particularly well known for its long lush sounding tail. We're going to hear that in a moment. And Arturia have definitely kept the essence of that in terms of the sound of this plugin. They've also kept the essence of the look of the original hardware. However, they haven't cloned it. They've made their own adaptions. I love this about Arturia. They kind of get inspiration definitely in terms of sound primarily from the original hardware. But then they look at what the interface was like on the hardware and they say, how can we improve upon that? And that's what they've done here. Now the original did have this row of buttons and it did have sliders for you to dial in the settings. And some of these the same or quite similar, but there's some slight variations as well from the original. But what Arturia have said is, hey, if you don't like dialing in your settings using this, we're going to give you an alternative view, an alternative way of doing it. And we get to that by going to the advanced options up here. So I'll click on that and we can see this very different kind of display. Now in a moment when the audio plays, you're going to see that represented here, but we'll look at that in a moment. But we can change those slider values now here in this sort of graphical representation. We'll sort of see the changes that are being made when the audio is there. So I personally find this a much sort of more intuitive way to dial in the settings. So it's nice that they give you that alternative. Also in this advanced view, we get some things that were not on the original unit from Lexicon, things like the ducker, sort of tremolo option and a gate option as well and a few other little bits and pieces there. So let's have a listen to this. I've got it applied to an acoustic guitar and some vocals. I particularly want you to pay attention to the tail, okay? And you're going to hear it much more in the vocals, which come in a little bit later. Also when I stop this piece of music, I'm going to stop it in the middle of the vocal performance and you're really going to hear the tail at that point. So let's have a listen. You can hear that long tail there. I think this is just a really awesome plugin to have in your armory. I'm already using it in my productions. I love it so much. It's a great new addition to this collection. New to this collection, we have the rotary CLS-222. Now this is fascinating to me because it's a plugin which is simulating a piece of hardware which in itself was simulating another piece of hardware. It's based upon the Dynacord CLS-222 which in turn simulated a Leslie rotary speaker. Now if you don't know what a Leslie rotary speaker is, it was basically an amplifier and speaker cabinet which had two speakers in there, a woofer and a tweeter and they both mechanically rotated, okay, creating a very specific sound which we will hear in a moment. Now before I play you that sound, let's just have a quick listen to the piece of music I'm applying it to and by the way for this piece of music I was also using Arturia Stage 73 piano. It sounds like this without the plugin switched on.  I'm going to turn the plugin on in its default setting at the moment. Let's just have a quick listen now and hear what it's doing and you can hear that specifically that left to right movement with that rotation of the speaker being emulated there. Now I'm going to do something I don't normally do. I'm going to go right ahead and click on the advanced button up here. The reason I'm doing that is because it reveals all of these extra controls but it also reveals this handy display here which sort of represents to you what's happening, okay, as I'm adjusting some of these controls. At the moment we can see this, what should we call an orb rotating in the middle there and that's the sound that's sort of gentle left right sound that we were hearing just a moment ago. Now if we, I was to move this control up here, the stereo image, you'll see our little orb is saying mostly in the middle, yeah and we get this kind of sound, not much movement, okay. Now I'll push it up gradually and you'll hear that change and in that super stereo setting we are getting a really pronounced movement from left to right. Now in fact our little orange orb is not a little orange orb, it's two orbs together because remember we've got two speakers in here, a woofer and a tweeter which are both being rotated but at the moment they're aligned with each other so they've both got exactly the same movement. Let's change that to something different, we've got different options here, we've got chasing, we've got opposite and we've also got chased here, okay. So let's go for opposite, okay so that our treble and bass are moving opposite to each other, okay and have a listen to that. Yeah so those lower and higher frequencies are opposite to each other in the stereo image. Now the other thing that we can adjust is the perceived distance, okay and we do that with these distant controls over here. So I'm going to do this with the treble controls, have a listen to this. You can hear that the higher frequencies they're appearing to sort of come backwards and forwards in terms of volume here, that's what's really changing the distance mostly there. We've also got some different movement patterns here with the distance controls here so we can change that to you know horizontal eight, okay and we've got another one here which is a comb movement, okay I like the horizontal eight. Now the other thing that we can do as well as changing the distance here is change the speed of the treble and bass independently. So I'm just going to push up that treble, it's pretty fast now, okay it's going to sound pretty wacky, let's have a listen. You're not careful, it can make you feel a little bit seasick, a little known fact, but yeah so that's what's happening there in terms of the speed, okay and we can also lock the speed to our door using the sync control here for sort of really musical movements I guess is what you could say. Now the final control I want to point out here is right on the top left, this is the drive control, okay and this is really useful if you want to add a little bit of grit, okay you've got a couple of different types here in terms of overdrive we've got valve and we've got op amp here, okay I like the valve one so let's just push that up and you may adjust that to taste using things like the mix control here as well. So all in all I have to say that what I like about this is if you want to get that Leslie sound but you want to have really nice control over it, it's a great plug-in for that I think it does an awesome job. New to this collection is Filter MS-20 now this is based upon the Korg MS-20 filters plus the external processing for the MS-20 which is creating distortion as well and you can see those two basic processors there filter and distortion and we can swap the order of them if we wish by clicking this button so distortion first going into filter we'll put it back for the moment. Now I'm going to demonstrate basically what this does with the little preset I've made called movement but before we actually listen to it of course we'll need to hear the underlying music without this plug-in switched on and for that I happen to have used Artur's Pigments and created some big long chords which sound like this. Okay so what does this plug-in actually do well let's switch it on and have a quick listen to what this preset is doing to those big long chords. So you can hear quite a lot of distortion in there and you can hear some filtering going on but notice how it's there's this sort of rhythm going on there's these pulses going on yeah reasonably complex rhythm going on there and that's because of something called modulation okay so for the purposes of what we're talking about here you could say that modulation is able to change the values of some of these controls over time okay and if we go to the advanced area here we click on advance and reveal the advanced panel we can see that there's three different types of modulation in this plug-in we have an envelope follower here which is based upon the amplitude of the signal okay how loud the signal is at a particular time we have a step sequencer so you know we can select values here with different steps and that's repeating over time and then we have a function generator for us to get in there and create sort of really complex patterns there in terms of modulation okay so the key to this is we can use any or all of these three modulation controls here and apply them to all of these controls that we can see at the top okay now i'm going to switch over to a different preset which i created called still okay so it's the same as the previous one but without any movement we'll have a quick listen okay so we've got that distortion happening in there i'm going to switch that down for the moment okay and what i'm going to do is just show you what happens as i move this control here the low pass yes i'm moving it with my mouse i could use it move it with a control keyboard but what if i want to modulate it yeah move it automatically well let's do that i'm going to use the function generator here for that and all i need to do is go to that low pass control you can see there's three little dials next to it and each of those relate to each of our three different modulators the last one there is the function generator and i'm just going to push the value up here and you can see that little green glow around the edge of the control yeah that is indicating the range where this control is going to move according to the function generator okay i'll put it up pretty high so we can see that knob is going to move all the way around to there in effect okay if it reaches you know the peak level of the generator there okay let's have a listen to that yeah so you can hear that rhythm happening there that's happening from the function generator we can do this to not quite all of the controls but almost all of the controls of course we can't do it to the movement control over here wouldn't make sense really because that's just a blend control to blend the movement in let's try on this wet dry control over here um so if i was to push this up manually it would sound like this yeah it says just blending the wet and dry signal so let's apply um the step sequencer for that so i'll put it on pretty much full so it's really happening there and have a listen now yeah so you get the idea there so you can build up some really sort of complex movement from a really basic sound using filter ms 20 a great new addition to this collection so the next plugin i'm going to talk about actually has two main processes which you can either run in serial or you can split the signal between the two which reminds me of our sponsor distro kid because they have a great feature called splits which enables you to automatically split proceeds from sales amongst various participants in the project at different amounts if you wish you can also automatically pay people back for any money they've paid up front for the project if they need to be reimbursed you can do that automatically it's just one of the great features that you get at distro kids so follow the link in the description down below to start distributing your music around the world you can really mess things up with this cold fire new to the collection and as you may have guessed this is a distortion plugin okay now i've got it applied to a baseline which i've created in pigments yet again let's just have a listen to that without the distortion switch on so as you can hear a fairly clean sub bass sound so let's switch on the distortion with my preset selected which is my cold fire and have a listen now i can promise you you can get a lot more messed up than that if you want so i've got some fairly light settings here now what is this all about we've got a couple of distortion processes going on here we've got a on the left and b on the right we can choose the routing we can go from one to the other or we can if we go here we can swap them over we can run them in stereo mid-side parallel whatever you wish to do with that but i'll continue to run them in serial for the moment now with each of these distortion processes you can choose all different kinds of distortion so for example here uh with distortion a i've got on tape but i'll i could change it to tube or transformer or bit crusher what have you there so i'll leave it on tape for the moment but you get the idea with that now where i think it's really at with this plugin is in the advance section so i'll click on advance at the top here opens up the rest of this panel here and as well as being able to now change settings for pre and post filters with each of these distortions i can also apply modulation so we've got uh well we've got here six different modulators we can choose from and each of these modulators uh can be either um what have we got an LFO function a follower or a sequencer okay i'll leave this on LFO for the moment to demonstrate it so what i can do is now apply any of these modulators to um some of the settings that we can see in the top half of the screen so to do that with this first one this LFO i'll just click on assign and i'll go and drag the outer ring of this drive control here okay so i'll turn it all the way up there and that is setting the range which will be affected by the modulation here okay and you can see it sort of moving up and down there let's have a listen to that cool we can do things like increase the rate let's do that and then we can obviously change that from Hertz to actually being synced with the door in some way as well so you can make it a bit more of a musical change happening there um so that's basically the main options as i say you can use LFO you we've got a function one here so you can sort of draw out some pretty complex modulation envelopes and then we've got also a follower here which is based upon amplitudes we discussed earlier with the other plugin and also a sequencer as well so you can manually set up a sequence to change any particular controls and you can apply that to all of the controls at the top there making some pretty interesting pulsating distortion sounds so don't forget if you want to find out about all of the other plugins which are in effects collection four take a look at this playlist right here starting from version one you can watch all of those videos and find out exactly what's included in this current version


Malaria remains a major threat to endemic populations and travelers, including military personnel. A malaria vaccine is feasible using radiation-attenuated sporesots or adenoviruses carrying malaria antigens. Heterologous prime-boost regimens are effective but pre-existing anti-who-ad-5 antibodies can adversely affect efficacy. Current strategies focus on replacing who-ad-5 with rarer human adenoviruses or adenoviruses isolated from non-human primates, such as Chad 63 and guerrilla adenoviruses. Replacement vectors have rapidly advanced and are now in extensive phase 2 and beyond trials for malaria and other diseases, including Ebola. Simplified prime-boost single-shot regimens, dry-coated live vector vaccines or silicon microneedle arrays could be developed for malaria or other vaccines.

Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. This loading screen is telling us a lot about what could be coming this Friday in FIFA and it's very, very high, so I wanna talk about that. And now EA was even alluding to this a couple days ago, right? We showed that in some tweets that they posted earlier, but there's a lot of content, a lot to talk about with festival football, but we're still in the middle of the ultimate team of the season, so I wanna talk about a little bit of ultimate taught stuff today, but again, focus on what is festival football and why is the hype building, because that's a huge promo. The last time we had it was FIFA 18 and we're very excited for it, because festival football is a big promo for this game for the summer and that also means that some sort of Euro's content is gonna come out. Now of course, EA does not have the actual licenses for the Euro, so it's gonna be a bit interesting to see what they do with the car design, dynamic images and stuff like that, but with this loading screen, that really lets us know that we are getting some sort of Euro's content, which is a huge W, right? Huge W for this next couple of weeks, honestly the next month of FIFA. So I wanna talk about festival football, festival of football today, what it means. I wanna also talk about path of glory cards, man of the matches and how that could kind of, you know, wrap itself in with the Euro's and the Copa America, but I wanna show you guys two squads from earlier FIFA's, FIFA 16 right here, this was festival of football, back in FIFA 16 for the Euro's. Basically what they did was they dropped international man of the match cards for players that had big time performances inside of the Euro's. I think that's gonna be the main theme, that's always kind of been the main theme of festival football, are these man of the match or cards that are performance based, kind of like an inform or kind of like a man of the match card, based off of how well they do during the tournament. So last year or not last year, last time we had this in FIFA 18, though they took it to another level and they also released like some flashbacks, like they had the classic European heroes, they released these cards into packs and if you take a look at these dates, it wasn't just like every Friday they released cards, right? They released cards on the 20th, the 22nd, the 25th, the 29th, like they were for a month solid, they released one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight different squads of festival of football players with a lot of high rated stats and some really, really good looking cards, right? I mean, you see these team of the match days, that's what these TOTMD is. These are basically from the games that were played during that week. They released upgraded player items for players that performed really, really well in these games. Now, the one point that I'm gonna make and show you guys with these cards are these cards went higher and above the actual team of the season cards that were out on this game. If you take a look at this ISCO, right? This is my perfect example. ISCO had a 94 rated team of the season item and he ended up with a 97 rated festival of football card. So these ratings that we see from FIFA 18, they went above the team of the seasons. That is 100% what we could be seeing this summer too with man of the match cards depending on which players actually get them. So I think that's one thing that I'm excited about and that could happen again this summer. But again, that's kind of the gist of what the festival of football has always been like in FIFA for FIFA 16 and FIFA 18. It's all about those man of the match cards giving a boost to players that perform well in real life during those games. So I think it's gonna happen this year for the Euro 2020 and also for the, not the common bowl, but the Copa America. I think Copa America and the Euro since they're both going on, I think we could have man of the match cards or whatever card design they're gonna use for this. Hopefully we get a new design which I think we will. If we have a loading screen like that, I think we will have some sort of new card design for those man of the matches this summer, which is pretty hype. So I do think that's gonna be coming. But also dynamic images, are we gonna see those? Because they don't have the rights. And if you think about it this year too, even in some of the UCL man of the match cards, they don't have the rights for it, especially even though EA has the actual rights to UCL, we see these Champions League man of the matches and they don't have dynamics. So it makes me think that we're not gonna see dynamic images for the man of the matches that we would see dropped this summer during festival football, which would be a bit of an L, right? But I think that we would kind of get over that. If the cards have insane stats and hopefully they can figure out some sort of way to put dynamics on those cards, that'd be really, really cool. But also based off of that loading screen, what else could we see with festival of football? Because if you think about it, if this promo actually starts on Friday, what's gonna come out on Friday? Because the first game is on Friday, they're not gonna be able to drop the man of the match cards impacts on Friday. So what we could be seeing this start date when festival football starts, it might be sort of an SBC based promo, it might have like some sort of summer heat vibe to it as well. I think that that could be something that is involved here. And I also think that there's a outside shot that they could do promo. They did in FIFA 18. And I don't know if you guys remember this or not, but it was path to glory. Now these were live items that were upgraded based off of a team and a player's actual performance. If they got man of the match cards, these got upgraded. And like this ESCO card when he was released was an 87 rated card. But again, as he continued to get man of the matches, he even jumped over his team this season because he got a 95 rated man of the match. So this 87 or 88 ESCO, it was like a once to watch, but it also got upgraded for these festival football items. He went all the way to a 97 rated card, right? It was insane. If you look at some of these other cards in here, he going in as a 93. William as a 91. So basically the countries that go farther and also at the very end, the path to glories that all the French PTG cards got a nice boost at the very end. So I think that's one thing that we could potentially see if there are gonna be cards in packs this Friday based off that loading screen. And you know, even like the little checker board, I'm gonna show you the loading screen again. I keep showing it to you guys, but if you take a look off to the right, kind of down below my face cam, you'll see like a checker board almost looks like a finish line, right? That could be signifying something like the players that get to the finish might be seeing some, you know, higher boosts in rating, like if their team actually wins the Copa America or the Euros, right? So there's a lot of stuff that could be happening with that as well. I think that's kind of the biggest things in my opinion with this festival of football promo that I think people are like wanting to know and are excited for. But I think one thing's for sure, right? Those man of the match cards are gonna be something that we can almost count on, I think. But I'm just really curious to see what they do in the first day or so if we're not gonna have cards in packs, if they're not doing like a path to glory type thing. And if this is also gonna be like a summer heat type vibe. Now, one thing I will say is since we have had this loading screen, I do feel like we will see some, we'll see an update to it. I think we'll see an update to it and we'll see the card design hopefully released. Now, you might see like Foot Watch, tweet out a code as well in the next day or so if that is gonna be happening. But that'll be really cool if we have a new card design that is released. And like they do with these promos, right? They always update the loading screens as we continue to go on. So I mean, this happened, honestly, boys, this is actually kind of crazy because exactly the same time last year, the first time we ever saw glimpses of summer heat was during this week of Ultimate Team this season. So it's just like last year where we had loading screens with a new unknown promo coming out. But except this time, we know what it is, right? And it's festival of football. So along with the cards, it'll be in packs like with Man of the Match items and stuff like that. I think it's 100% going to happen that we will have a lot of SBC releases as well. And again, that's why people are again thinking, hey, that's why we maybe didn't get a huge boost on Conte or that's why we didn't have like 99 rated team of the season cards potentially is that they knew that this festival of football promo was going to be coming. And players like Messi, Ronaldo and Bobay, Neymar were going to potentially get higher rated cards based off of Copa America and the Euros in their respective competitions. So, but until we actually start getting Man of the Match cards in packs, I feel like they might use festival of football and what they did last year with summer heat and kind of combine those two things. So we might start seeing insane SBCs this Friday. Now, of course, we'll probably learn more information as this week goes on about what this festival of football promo is going to look like. But again, this is a big time promo. It really is. This is a very fun promo. And again, a lot of you guys remember these cards, these Man of the Match cards and the summer, not summer heat, but the festival of football cards from FIFA 18 because this was a absolutely crazy time of the summer. Oh, I forgot to mention the last thing too, the winners of the competition in FIFA 18. So the entire French national team that won the World Cup, they got another set of boosted festival football cards at the end. And that was one of the coolest things I thought, just the entire French squad players have released. That was really, really, really cool. So I hope they do that again this year. They had a festival of football team in the tournament. I think this was like rest of the world, classic rest of the world heroes. So more of like the Copa America type heroes or just other cards they could throw in packs, of course. I mean, there's some big names in here, right? Endo, Danny Alves, Dava De Wies, Tim Howard, Valencia, this Alexis Sanchez, a Tevez that we just got to, Ato, right? So I mean, there were so many cool cards that were released in this FIFA 18 with the World Cup. So I really, really hope that they do something along this level of hype this year because that'd be so cool if they would do something like that. And that's why there's a lot of hype for, I mean, this 99 Suarez was like mental. I don't know if you guys remember this at all, but Suarez had a 97 tots, but then he had the 98 and the 99 card, which were just ridiculous. So hopefully along with some skill move and weak foot upgrades, EA Sports, because once we get to this point in the year two, that's something that we've seen multiple times. We need to see that again, skill move and weak foot upgrades for whether it's an SPC card or whether it's some of these man of the match cards. We do need to see some of that. So hopefully that comes out with the Festival of Football as well. Now, as we get more information on loading screens, if EA tweets anything out, we're gonna continue to talk about it here, discuss it and talk about what it means for the market. But just moving into again, what could happen today on FIFA for Wednesday? We don't have any code right now for a guaranteed ultimate team in the season, SPC, which is very, very interesting in my opinion that we do not have that code just yet. Now, a lot of these Tots cards, they're going down a little bit, right? I think there was a little bit of selling when we saw the loading screen yesterday. I don't know if you're really gonna see panic. You might see some price drops later on as we get into like Thursday night, into Friday morning. You might see a little bit of panic. It depends on what happens on the loading screen. And if we learn more information about what this Festival of Football could look like, but it's all gonna depend on the content in my opinion. And since we don't have anything added to the code yet, I don't know if that SPC is coming today, but I do feel like if it does not come, the 90 plus deluxe Tots and the 88 plus Tots upgrade could very easily be re-released because those are expiring today. And I think those are very easy SPCs that people would love to do again and would kind of take the place of an ultimate Tots guaranteed, even though that's the SPC that we do want. By the way, if we get an ultimate Tots guarantee added to the code, I'm thinking 88 or 89 rated squad once again, it's not gonna be cheap because of course you've got a big name, you have big name players that are in this pack. So hopefully that does get added to the code because that would be really sick. Now again, tomorrow's rewards day as well because today is Wednesday. So if we do see another 88 plus 90 plus or ultimate Tots guaranteed, I do think you're gonna see fodder again explode. And if you wanted another short-term scenario where you could get out on some of this fodder, if you think there's gonna be cards in packs this weekend and lightning rounds and stuff like that, then maybe you do try to sell some of the fodder that you invested in 84s, 85s, 86s because it will probably spike up again today if we have good content. And it might be an opportunity to get out before maybe some stuff goes down if there's pack supply this Friday. In my personal opinion, if you bought like 84s at 4K and 85s at 8,000 coins, I think you might've gotten some of the lowest prices that we'll see over the next month unless there's really not gonna be any hype SPC content as a part of festival football, which I don't expect, but hey, it could happen. Then I think you just keep holding, right? I'm gonna keep holding a lot of my 84s, 85s, 86s because I seriously just see them going higher because I think festival football is gonna be a big promo. I think it's gonna have like summer heat vibes kind of intertwined with it. And I think there's gonna be a lot of SPC. So that's just my personal take on what I'm gonna do with fodder. But if you did wanna take the quick cash, I think today could be an opportunity with the hype like an hour or two after the content drop. If we do get some TOTS upgrade packs like we saw earlier this week or an ultimate TOTS guaranteed, there might be an opportunity there to kind of take the coins on some of that stuff. So that's kind of what I'm expecting today. Now, of course, yesterday we had the Tevez SPC, which was dope. So our guess with the Commie Bowl flashback item was correct and that was actually the card that came out. And you really didn't see that much panic selling on the market in general. I'll be completely honest. I guess I cleared my transfer list, but you didn't really see that much panic selling. Now I sold a couple more cards just off of fluctuations that I bought previously. And some cards are still down a lot. But I still think you'll see a market rise on some of the market after rewards. Cause again, there's so many coins that will be coming onto the market on rewards tomorrow. We'll maybe talk about that on tomorrow night's video a little bit more too, but people are gonna get lucky and pack Ronaldo from rewards tomorrow. People are gonna get lucky and pack Salah, Messi, Levadoski and Bapé de Bruyne. A lot of coins coming to the market. So some of these team of the season cards, since they are the best available right now in this game, I'm very interested to see how some of these perform after rewards on Thursday of this week. So like this Alfonso Davies, which right now is very inflated, 590K. That's a card that I think will do very well this week with the links to Kimmich and stuff like that. You know, maybe you watch some of your cards like Rubin DS as a lot of people are probably gonna be packing Cancelo. Now this card's actually already up a decent amount. I think he's like 270, 270, 269. He was like 245 earlier in the week. So if you would see like a drop on this card might be something you could potentially get involved with because that would be a card that would link to a very common red pick for people with a variety Cancelo, maybe even Harry Kane and probably Obloc are gonna be very common red picks and in those Ultimate Tots Packs or the Elite Tots Packs. So I think those are gonna get supplied on the market a decent amount. But if you're sitting here wondering, do I have to sell cards before we actually get into what this festival football promo is going to look like, I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that you have to sell cards because again, I really just feel like it depends on the content that EA drops later this week. And I'm gonna be honest, I'm not gonna expect insane content day one, but maybe I'll be surprised, right? And I only feel like it's gonna really drop the market a ton if we get insane SPC content, if we get incredible live items that are path to glories that have a huge boost, team of the season level boost and will have the potential to upgrade with many of the match items as well. That's the only thing that I could see crashing some of the market, but I really feel like it's gonna be the SPC content that would do that to make people sell stuff. So we'll continue to monitor what this week looks like with festival football and with the last couple of days of ultimate team of the season content in FIFA 21, but all eyes are pointing towards this festival football loading screen. I hope they updated today, I think they will. Think they'll maybe add a card design, maybe a little earlier for that, but maybe some hints, right? Throw some hints out there EA and just drop us a bone, right?  So it was nice that they added the festival football text because that was not there earlier and just show the colors.  So I'm excited to see what this promo is on Friday. It's gonna be a lot of hype with the Euro starting and with this promo dropping. So hopefully EA do the business, but let me know down below what you think this promo is gonna look like. If you think it's gonna be a normal festival football with man and the match cards, or do you think EA is gonna do something different and something new? But that's the video for today. We're gonna have a lot more about festival football coming up in the next couple of weeks or in the next couple of days, leading up to this week finale and the start of the Euros. So again, smash thumbs up if you enjoyed it and comment down below if you have any questions. Subscribe if you're new. It's been Nate the Photo Count and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


Hey guys, it's MJ the student's act tree and in this video I'd like to showcase my artificial intelligence that I made for the game rock paper scissors So in this video, I'm just gonna be playing a round of rock paper scissors And I'm gonna be explaining how the artificial intelligence works So it's a little bit of a demonstration. So let's turn on the statistics So that we can see how the brain is working First thing to note is these are the probabilities that the AI has assigned for its choices When we starting off, it's purely random. So it's going to be 33.3 percent recurring for each one There is a little bit. I've just rounded the doubles two integers and just for display purposes So that's why you'll see 34 for scissors, but they are all the same Okay, so very first game all Random it doesn't know anything about me. It doesn't know how I play. So let's go. So I'm gonna go with rock Okay, and wow, what do you know? I've beaten my artificial intelligence, but this is purely down to chance So I've won and I've beat because it shows scissors. I chose rock Okay, now again, it doesn't have enough information to know how I react after a win So it has no information on how I react after an am I gonna repeat my play or am I gonna change it? But I'm quite happy with rock. I mean I played rock and I won't let's see what happens when I play rock again. Okay Well, I'm I'm pretty good at rock paper scissors. I've beaten my artificial intelligence again. It's chosen scissors But now it has a little bit of information Here we see that it knows that when I win I tended to repeat myself So repeating is greater than the alternating and so it now flexes the probabilities It wants to beat me So it's increased the likelihood that it will choose paper and it's now decreased the likelihood that it will choose scissors It's also slightly increased the chances for rock and this is so that it could maybe get a draw as We can see the confidence hasn't changed because it hasn't lost. It hasn't made a bad decision yet But now let's say I choose rock again Okay, I've lost because it chose paper We saw paper was the most likely choice and because it was the most likely choice The AI confidence is going to increase So the confidence will only increase when the artificial intelligence wins and it chose the most likely probability and the confidence will decrease if it loses and it chose the most likely choice and Now this confidence is what I use to flex the probabilities But So I've now lost as you can see the probabilities have all reverted back to 33% because when it comes to losing it was my first loss. It doesn't have any information on how I play when I lose So my last choice was rock. I want to change it up I you know rocks failed me now. So let's go with scissors. I look at that I've won and the artificial intelligence confidence didn't change because there was nothing that was most likely So I've now won With scissors it chose paper. So it knows what happens now when I win It needs to increase the likelihood for rock and decrease The likelihood for paper, but that's my strategy. I like to when I went I like to repeat and Bam, there we go. I've lost But now it also has information on how I what happens when I lose it knows that I tend to Alternate when I lose and you can see the artificial intelligence's confidence has increased now to 17 Sorry that that reset button is in the way So it knows that my previous result was scissors and it knows that I tend to alternate When I lose hence it's quite safe to play paper But now let's say I so what I've chosen scissors and it thinks that I Alternate let me let me be a little bit naughty and go with scissors. So here we go. Here we go I won I saw the probability was quite high for paper. So I'm cheating a bit here, but artificial intelligence chose paper and what's interesting now is the confidence has now decreased because it was like we thought The opponent was going to alternate, but they repeated So now if there's another loss, we'll see the probabilities will go back to 33 percent Let's check. Oh Now this is another interesting one it's gone back to 33 percent because this is our very first draw and There's no information on a draw. So it will revert back to 33 percent Chance for each and this way the AI can't be beaten in the long run because let's say you even have all these Statistics and you are choosing you are playing against it The confidence will decrease to an amount where it doesn't then change and it stays at 33 percent So it comes down to luck if you had to be someone who you know Let's say you just go on a rampage and you just click Clicking rock for whatever reason you just go rock rock rock rock rock rock rock rock rock You can see here that the the repeat for each of them are now increasing confidence is going up and The AI is just dominating the game There will be the occasional draws because it's quite a you know, it doesn't want to be it doesn't be too predictable So you see the probabilities almost lock in there at 57 percent and The reason for that is I have kept confidence at 25 So when it hits 25 it decreases back down to 24 This is just to make sure that the probabilities don't become negative and then weird stuff starts to happen So yeah, that is my my artificial intelligence You can see it's very confident at the moment. It's dominating me But why don't you have a go and download it for yourself and and yeah, maybe you can beat it I will put links in the description below for The Google Play Store. This is only going to be on Android. There's the little Android man and I am I have written a whole article explaining the inner workings and the philosophy behind it And why I did certain things this way and not that other way I don't want to make this video too long by describing this all here, but I will put links Also in the description or also somewhere on the screen here For where that article gets published or on whose blog puts it up But yeah, that's that's basically my artificial intelligence in a nutshell I think it's pretty cool in the way it flexes probabilities. It's got a stochastic nature to it You can't beat it all the time because it's not deterministic like a lot of the other artificial intelligences on rock paper scissors, so I think it's great But let me know what your thoughts are in the comment section below and also use that space if you have any questions Thanks guys so much for watching and if you haven't subscribed because I will be posting more fun videos like this. Cheers


Let's go to Al in Tampa, Florida. Hey, Al, what's going on, brother? Not much, just playing the gold, waiting for it to pull back by some more, and maybe Trump will kill another bad guy and send it higher. That's gay, well. So yeah, because I got that report, people, you should listen to the report because we sold it on that Monday, like you said, and made a huge profit after they killed the bad guy. Wow So what Al's talking about folks is that we had bought, you know, a few stocks, like six stocks in the gold report. We did sell them. I believe I sold them on the Monday. I sold them before that happened, didn't I? No, I think it happened on Friday, the bad report. They went ahead and killed the bad guy. Oh, I see. What happened is this, folks, okay? So what happened is that the expansion, that's right, it was a second expansion of volume inside the gold market, and we sold into it that morning, and it was a great sell. So PAAS, we had owned it. We sold it at 24 bucks. You're trading 22 right now. So are you looking to buy this again, Al, or do you own it now? What are you doing? Well, um, well, actually, I bought it like a day ago, but it went up 77 cents, and I read the gold report and got back out of it. It's still made like $400 on 400 shares. So just wondering what's a good pullback to purchase it. Okay, so yesterday what did happen is that, you know, saw a small sign of strength.  The situation in most of these, you know, basically operate on the same way. The different differential with Pan-American is that, can it go to 2075 again? You know, yesterday we hit, well, we hit 2091. That might have been it, man. I, more than likely this was build more cars. Let me put this on a weekly for a second. So I never got back to 1948. Yeah, I'm, you know, it's in decent shape. I mean, it's still one of the stronger stocks out there. You know, if you don't own it, you don't own it right now. I just wait again to see if it gets down to that 2091 again. You know, that's the way I'd play that thing. Let me just see something with the GDX for a second. So Yeah, see that has sign of strength. Not a lot of action today, though. I noticed one thing that the gold and the oil, the price of gasoline or not, pretty much quarterly, pretty close. Yeah, you know, I haven't watched that. That's something I can take a look at, but I haven't watched that. I mean that the gold market has acted correctly for a long period of time now. And what I mean by that, folks, is that you're going high with volume, you pull back with light of volume, you build more cars, drive everyone crazy, do it again, you know.   What about HMY? Okay, stay right there, Al. We'll come right back. Welcome back, folks.  We're talking with Al from Temper, we're talking gold. Right now we're gonna be talking hominy gold. So, the low in hominy for the air, folks, is 157. The high is 393. You're at 357. So, you own this right now, Al? No, I originally got into it like $2.22. I've been buying it and selling it on your recommendation from the gold report. Okay. And I'm just telling people, if you're not in the gold report, try it for a month. It's cheap. You won't lose your money and not in it, and you'll be very happy with it. I appreciate it. I'm just wondering if Harman, he's gonna pull back. Okay. So, it doesn't look to me like it wants to pull back, actually.  That's what it looks like. You know, you're gonna need more volume on this all the way up, but this is a high-end consolidation. And let me see the one the next time they're coming out with numbers. Okay, cool. February 11th. They're coming out with numbers February 11th. Well, they seem to be putting good, especially with the price of gold right now. Yes, no doubt. They're looking for... It's also South African gold. That's right. So, it ends up happening. They're looking for 32 billion rand. That trades at like 14 or 15 right now. Let me see a ZAR, 14.5 probably. Yeah, you're at 14.33 rand dollars or one US dollar.  It looks to me like right, so right now, the way that this market is set up, the metals market is set up, you know, we could wake up any day here and, you know, see it at 20 or 30 dollars. The dollar has not, basically, it changed trend, okay, but this does not have a conviction move yet for law. That's what it comes down to. And until that happens, I don't think we're gonna see, you know, that 1704 and the gold market. Now, I expect we're gonna see it, but the bottom line is that we need help from that US dollar. That's what it comes down to. And the help that I think we're gonna get is still from the bond market. The bond market, folks, the note in bond market just keeps saying that, hey, guess what, man? They want a higher price and that keeps bringing the interest rate structure down. The more the interest rate structure comes down, the more positive the metals market become, you know, because that's just the way it works, folks. You know, when you're talking about zero, I don't think we're gonna get to zero interest rates, but as long as these interest rates stay lower, I think it's a big deal. There's no doubt about it. What has happened is this, is that the US dollar is one of the only major currencies that we haven't hit new all-time highs in gold.  Like, if I bring it up in the Canadian dollar, what you're gonna see is that, let me bring this back. So I bring this back 15 years and what you're gonna see out here is that right now in the Canadian dollar, we're basically looking at 2047 and the high that was established in 2011, which is our high, okay, was 1902. If I take this and I turn around and I put it, and watch this, I even put it in the Euro, I'm just changing, I'm changing currencies here, folks, just so you can see the correlation. And the Euro, the high in 2012 was 1388 and we just hit 1451. So it's only the US dollar right now when you're talking about major currencies that we haven't hit all-time highs, but I can tell you from the way that some of these equities are trading like Franco, Nevada, this had another all-time high today, the gold was higher price.  I've gained like 45% and guess what, I have to start paying a lot more taxes, but I got a lot more income, thank you, your gold report. Well, but that's not the cool thing is, the cool thing is it was- That's a nice problem. That's a nice problem to have. I appreciate it. I appreciate it. The cool thing is, folks, that was done the first week of January. So you're not paying those taxes till next year. So hopefully you're going to be paying a lot of taxes. Yeah, it broke out in May. I was in the beginning of the May and I basically hit all the pullbacks and I have had like a 45% gain in your gold report. So I'm just saying the people need to go ahead and at least try for a month. And they'll be very happy with it. Okay, man. Have a great one. Have a safe one. Thank you. You too. Thank you. And folks, that wasn't a commercial. And listen, this is what ends up happening in the gold market. It is a unique market. Al's been in it a long period of time. You need in the gold- A couple of different things happen in the gold market, folks. You need a stomach that can take it, okay? You are here in the good stories. Gold is pretty violent going both ways. Well, yes, we have done very well over the course of years. There's no two ways about that, okay? I just want to explain the other side of the situation. It's a unique market. We think we know the market really well, as well as anyone. No doubt about that. It doesn't happen overnight, though. That's what you really want to understand. You know, what people don't understand, like, I actually really love it when it doesn't matter what even large station you're listening to, what they don't get. People say, well, gold hasn't moved that much. And say, wow, man, the people that say that, folks, in the bottom line, they have not been in the gold market. Because these gold equities, granted, there's no two ways about it. The S&Ps, guess what? You went up 30%. But guess what? These gold stocks, they're at small prices. And it's a lot easier for a smaller price to go up and to a higher price. Like Pan American Silver. $15, you know, up to $24. And like three months, okay? That's a good move. But that's how gold likes to move. That's on the bullish side. And the bearish side, folks, guess what? You know, if you don't have discipline and you hang in those, well, guess what? Man, they'll take you south so quickly you can't see straight. That is why, when we get them, I like selling into strength, okay? Because I know that it doesn't mean that it's not going to go higher. But selling into strength, I've always liked. I like buying kind of when people, you know, basically they're not talking about it. And when people go wild, I like selling into strength period.  That takes patience and that can drive people crazy. But the bottom line is that on a longer basis, it's a lot better. That's the real bottom line.


Hey, Psych2Goers! Welcome back to another Psych2Go video! Have you ever heard of the dark triad of personalities? Well, what is the dark triad and how was it discovered? So the dark triad is three overlapping yet distinct personalities subclinical narcissism, subclinical psychopathy, and Machiavellianism. By subclinical, we mean that someone might show the traits of a narcissist or psychopath, but they're not severe enough to be diagnosed as a disorder. In 2002, Delroy L. Pallas and Kevin M. Williams at the University of British Columbia did a study on whether these three personalities were identical, by comparing the three personality traits of the dark triad with three other psychological aspects. They found that the correlation patterns were very different and concluded that psychopathy, narcissism, and Machiavellianism were indeed distinct. So, what's the difference? Narcissists tend to have a large sense of self as they feel entitled and superior to those around them. Machiavellianism, on the other hand, tends to be more manipulative and selfish, and psychopaths are more insensitive as they lack empathy for others and act without thinking. They are all associated with varying degrees of deception, questionable morals, and self-interest, but what they do have in common is disagreeableness. It's also thought that there is a relatively high genetic component to all three personality traits. Interestingly, psychopathy and Machiavellianism are more closely related to each other than narcissism, possibly because narcissism is the only one that can grow from a feeling of insecurity. What about sociopaths? It's easy to confuse psychopaths and sociopaths, so you might be wondering, why aren't sociopaths included in this list? Both are listed as anti-social personality disorders in severe forms, and both share a lack of moral judgment and lack of empathy. There are, however, a few things that distinguish the two. Psychopaths are likely to be pathological liars, and they rarely feel guilt since they do whatever they have to to benefit themselves. They're known to be fearless and often good at mimicking behaviors to hide their psychopathic traits. Sociopaths, on the other hand, tend to have a conscience, even if it's weak. Although they are self-centered, they do care for others more than psychopaths. They're also less skilled at hiding their behavior and act in ways that make self-indulgence and lack of empathy more obvious. Although it's unclear as to why sociopaths are not included in the list, it could be due to how environmental factors are more influential to the cause of sociopathy than genetics. How do someone with one or more of these traits act? According to a 10-year review study, members of the dark triad have similar behaviors in a variety of social settings. In the workplace, for example, they're likely to fit the trope of an entitled boss or leader who is able to charm their way to the top, but not make genuine connections with the people around them. In education, cheating and plagiarism are predictable. This is more associated with psychopathy and Machiavellianism. Other than their displays of social entitlement, their behaviors differ more when it comes to interacting with others. Psychopaths tend to give negative first impressions as they want to appear to be intimidating. They also have an uncanny ability to mimic the behavior of those around them to blend in. People with Machiavellianism, along with psychopaths, tend to come off quite cynical and morally suspicious. Narcissists, interestingly, have a skewed sense of self and tend to view themselves as far better leaders and far more empathetic than they actually come off as. Where do we go from here? As you've seen, recent research has made it possible to distinguish between the dark triad of personality. But what does it mean moving forward? Researchers have started to look into the function of the dark triad in the business world. How these personality traits relate to the ability to maximize profits. Psychiatrists have also looked at how the dark triad are more vulnerable to addiction disorders. There are even studies that look into the relationship between the dark triad and effective disorders such as depression. We hope we were able to help you understand and distinguish the different personalities of the dark triad.
