Hi everyone, Joe for jazby's casebreaks.com coming at you with 2019, 2020 Panini Mosaic Basketball Hobby Pack Break number 82. Last filler we got to do to unlock that Noir basketball break. So at the end of this break we'll re-randomize everybody's names. Top two, we'll win spots in that, which we'll unlock that. Those are all coming up in separate videos. Big thanks to this group right here for getting in on it. Now first of all, we're gonna have Nightbot select someone to pick the pack in a moment as well. All right, so there's everybody right here. Thanks everyone for the fast fill. There's the teams right there. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it just for the break itself. Two and a one, three times. One, two, three. Two and a one, three times for the teams. One, two, and three. A different dice roll for the giveaway part of course. No trade windows in these things either. All right, Nightbot select someone to pick the pack. So we'll go one, two, three. Top to bottom, one, two, three. This is what you'll choose. All right, here's the first half of the list right here. There's the second half of the list right over here. All right, let's print this out. And Logan, pick the pack. One, two, or three. Logan picks one, two, third pack right there. Nice. This will be in a separate video if you're looking for that. There's the final print out here. Hot off the presses. Thanks everyone. Little purple parallel in there somewhere. Let's see what we got. We got Kai Bowman rookie silver and Romeo Langford. 12 out of 49. So two parallels in the middle, they're playing against each other. So we got a Kobe White for Michael and the Bulls. A Romeo Langford, that's for Ryan and the Celtics. And a Kai Bowman for the Warriors. That'll be for Michael L. All right, now let's flip back over here. Let's gather everybody's names for the final dice roll. Top two will get random number block spots. After three and a one, four times, fingers crossed, good luck. One, two, three, and a one, fourth and final time. So it's just the top two. So pretty risky, but someone's gotta win, right? Very close manual, not quite though. Thanks for giving it a shot. After four. Top two, you got a number block spot. It's a hundred and what, $79 value. Daniel, congrats you're in. And Nick Schuster, congrats you're in. So we'll see you for that random number block randomizer in the next video, then the noir break. I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.


Here is an activity in which we'll examine static friction as a cause of circular motion. For our equipment, we'll be using a motor which has a metal disc attached to it. If I turn on the motor, it will rotate up to some maximum speed. I'm going to turn it off now and place a penny on the disc. Now if I turn on the disc, we would expect the penny to move in a circular path at least for a while, but at some point, if the disc got to moving fast enough, the penny would slide off. Let's take a look at that. That determines how fast the disc has to be rotating before the penny slides off. Let's define some quantities first. The penny, which has mass m, is located a distance r from the center of the turntable. When the disc starts rotating, the penny moves at velocity v in a direction tangent to the circular path. By Newton's first law, the normal tendency of any object is to move in a straight line unless a net external force acts on the object. The force acting on the penny to make it move in a circle is static friction between the penny and the disc. This force points to the center of the circle. The net horizontal force acting on the penny when it's moving at constant speed is just the static friction pointing to the center. By Newton's second law, the net force is the product of the mass and acceleration of the penny. The acceleration is a centripetal acceleration. It points toward the center of the circular path and has a magnitude equal to the square of the penny speed divided by the radius of the path. As the disc speeds up, the penny's centripetal acceleration increases. A greater net force is required to keep the penny moving in a circle. The static friction increases to provide that force. The static friction cannot increase without limit. The limit is determined by the weight of the penny and the coefficient of static friction between the penny and the disc. When the limit is reached and exceeded, the friction force can no longer hold the penny in a circular path. This is when the penny slides. Actually, you could think of this as the disc sliding out from under the penny. Now here's a problem for you to do. Suppose I take three pennies, place them at different distances from the center. When I turn the motor, in what order will the pennies slide off? Or will they all slide off at the same time? The key to answering the question is to consider or to rank the pennies according to the amount of centripetal force required to hold them in circular motion at a radius r at a given frequency. Work on your answer, then submit it together with your explanation. After you've submitted it, you'll receive a link to a video clip to see what actually happens.


Thank you very much. I appreciate being here. It's a great event, as always. And it's my great pleasure now to introduce Andres Arrieta. He is one of our ME very successful associate professors. Andres got his BSME in 2006 from the University of Los Andes in Bogota, Colombia. And then a PhD in 2010 from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom. Andres has been an exceptional scholar and researcher for us in the school and does most of his research at the Herig Labs, which is a lab very close to my heart. His research focuses on exploiting structural non-linearities to achieve intrinsic property and shape adaptability in engineering systems. His approach has resulted in very novel functionality of metamaterials, morphing wings, energy harvesting, and soft robotics. His research work has attracted significant funding from the National Science Foundation, Defense Advanced Research Project Agency like DARPA, and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, as well as industrial sponsors, such as Anhorza Bush, like that one, as well as Ford Motor Company, among others. He has been very productive, lots of publications in journals, but in particular in articles in science, applied reviews letters, and ACS Nano. He also has been very active in going to conferences and publishing period conference paper, just what we expect from a professor of his stature. He has already mentored seven PhD students to completion, as well as 18 master students to completion, which is quite productive for this stage of the career. His most notable award today is the ASME Gary Anderson Early Achievement Award in 2018, as well as NSF Career Award. It's my very distinct pleasure to introduce Andres Ariadar. Thank you, Eckhart. Thanks everybody to be here. It's really a privilege to be able to talk about my journey to many of my mentors, some of the people I look after, to be able to, you know, as an aspiration to go in their footsteps, and also to talk to my students, which of course are the ones who have allowed me to be here. My talk is going to be a little bit different. I'm going to talk about my curiosity of discovering, and how this was the journey that I take to become a professor. So I wanted to make this relatively personal, and this was by choice, and it was a choice that I made because I'm relatively impersonal when I'm the university. So I wanted to show this side to my students and also to my colleagues, and what motivates me to be here. So my motivation started by looking at a KLM jumbo jet when I was two years old. So I remember these, we went on a trip and I heard all my life that I was, well, not all my life, when I was a kid for several years, I heard that I was repeating all the time where is my KLM jumbo jet, KLM jumbo jet, KLM blue jumbo jet. So somehow I really liked jumbo and I really like aircraft. And also when I was growing up, I had really a big privilege of having three grandparents that were looking after me, and in particular one who was living with me, and all the time feeding me with information. And some of the information was about science and about the solar system. So the first place where I started writing my name properly was an astronomy book about the solar system. And on that time, we had still nine planets. And of course, I'm very sad to say that I put it there on purpose to keep Pluto there. Now, of course, it's dwarf planets, so it was degraded. But anyways, or demoted, sorry, not degraded. These were things that I was really fascinated when I was a kid. And when I started thinking about what I wanted to be when I was an adult, I was fixated to become an aerospace engineer. But then I started to realize how life works. So I come from Columbia, and we didn't have, well, actually, there was one aerospace program in Columbia at the time. But I understood that it was probably not the best to follow. So I settled for mechanical engineering. And I took that choice because I knew that that was my surest path to be able to work on aerospace applications. So while I was growing, you know, this is the late 80s. Steel, the world was not globalized as it is now. So my parents, and in Columbia, it was hard to get Lego. So we had our own Colombian Lego, which is called Armotodo. And I was making spaceships that, to me, look like these. Unfortunately, I didn't have any pictures of them. But I remember they were quite nice to me. And I played all the time with them. And the interesting thing is that these things were made for architectural applications. So these started to form my thinking, I believe, in how can I connect and how can I use what is available to me to find the best path to achieving my goals. And my goal was to have a spaceship like this one. So then I used my Armotodos that were given for us as a gift to do buildings.  I did go to Los Andes, and I'm extremely grateful for my education there. It was really thorough. And it really taught me some of the most important lessons that I carry with me, one of which is grit and being humble. So when I went to Los Andes, and he didn't have pictures of that, unfortunately, but I remember the speech of my head of department. He presented the department. He told us how the program was. And then he ended up, his speech, and there were some cake and some refreshments on the back of the room. And he said, OK, everybody, I wish you all the best. And I hope you enjoy the cake and the drinks, because this is the only gift you're going to have in the next five years. And I always tell this to my students, because it marked me. I understood what was needed to be successful in a place that was elite, because Los Andes is an elite university. And there was no gift. I assure you about that. And there were hard times, but it was really, really satisfying to be able to raise the level to the challenge and do the best that I could under those circumstances. And coming from a school in Colombia that is better known now than almost 21 years ago. No, sorry, that's when I started. When I left 15 years ago, it was hard to go to a place like the University of Bristol. And the story of how I ended up in Bristol is for another time. But I applied there, and my two advisors, in particular David Wag, believed in me and helped me to get a scholarship there. And it was really interesting. I don't want to talk too much about my research, but it was about these laminates that are changing shapes, just like slap bracelets. Or now these Microsoft mouse mice that some of you use. I know Stuart has it. I saw it yesterday. And I bought it myself, of course, a vice table mouse. It's something that I need to have. Anyways, I was working there on things that change shape and things that change shape dynamically. Because in my undergrad, I started to be very interested in dynamics and controls. And these allowed me to work on something that was close to my childhood dreams, which is aerospace applications. And at some point, my dream was to put these on a large aircraft, which is a little bit too much. But anyways, it kept me going for some time. Now, after my time at Bristol, I was very fortunate to meet Professor Peter Haggedon, which I know Arbind also knows. And there in Darmstadt, I deepened my knowledge in nonlinear dynamics and vibrations. And afterwards, I was extremely lucky to be able to go and work with Professor Paul Romani at ETH Zurich now on things that looked a little bit more to what I wanted to do with my childhood dreams. So we were able to develop some interesting applications on morphine structures and had my first opportunity to mentor students and meet other incredible human beings there. So then I started to think a little bit about what I wanted to do. And it took me some time. But from my astronomy and physics times and talking with my brother, I was very interested about fundamental phenomena. And I got involved or I started to play with these dome pattern sheets, which maybe some of your kids or some of you have on these puppet toys. And I wish I had patterned these before because they are really now everywhere. But anyways, it's still really interesting. So if any of you have played with these, you'll know that it's very interesting. These, it's called the metamaterials are reshaping when you start pressing on them and they have these hysteretic behavior that is very interesting. But when I started playing with these, I didn't know what these were leading me. Now, it led me to something that it's my second big point that I want to make. It's the interconnectedness that you find in everywhere in science and in life. So I had no idea that these dome pattern metamaterials when you press them and the reconfiguration was related to a very fundamental phenomenon called geometrical frustration, which is the inability for a lattice system or a system of interacting particles to minimize their interaction energies simultaneously. So there is classical example of a lattice made of triangles. So if these triangles are thought as, let's say, magnets and they want to be aligned antiferromagnetically, so they want to be one up and one down, you can arrange two of these guys in the triangle, but the three become frustrated and frustration. It's also an important part in our lives. It was in my life being a hyperactive kid. I gave a lot of frustration to my parents when they needed to go to school because I was, you know, messing around. And now it forms an interesting part of my life. I started finding frustration everywhere and in particular when you have all these lattices where these elements are interacting and are frustrated that cannot be minimized at the same time, you start having these states of degeneracy. And degeneracy essentially means that you have many possible states. And this happens in many different systems, starting by water eyes, colloids, magnetic systems, and even in some structures. And then what I was extremely happy to know is that these geometrical frustration and the many stable states that you find in these systems and in the sheets that I play with come from uncontrolled degeneracy. So this is a connection with the fundamentals. And when I teach my ME 274 class, ME 270, I try very hard to give my students a motivation of why it's important to learn the fundamentals. And I also try to tell them the connection between different fields. And when I started looking at this problem, I would have never guessed that it appears in condensed matter physics, in quantum physics with Goldstone bosons. And it was really fascinating for me to see all these connections. Where is this ball going to fall on this Mexican hat potential? This is the question. And it can fall and stop in any of those points. And this is what it's called degeneracy. You don't know where you're going to end up. In the same way that I didn't know that I was going to end up at Purdue. Very interesting how life pushes us and breaks symmetries. And we end up in some state at the end. So I want to tell you that it's very important to have your eyes open, to connect and to find interesting opportunities and look hard to reach out beyond your own comfort zone. Which is what I'm doing here. Because I'm no quantum mechanist. But it's been very interesting to draw some of these connections. And this has allowed us to start playing with these sheets and find order and find ways to control these geometrical frustration and create functional elements, like for example a robotic gripper, that it's a little bit more functional by this leveraging of the order in which these domes are inverted to reach one of these frustrated states that is more beneficial for a certain manipulation task. And to my great shock, one of the other nice works that I've done, and I'm very proud of it, was my connection with biology. And this is another point that I want to make. Being multidisciplinary in thinking, it's extremely important in the current world. So I was extremely lucky to get to know about the earwig wing. And it was serendipitous. I went to a breakfast with Professor Barry Trimmer, who was visiting us. I told him I work with multistable structures and said, oh, do you know the earwig? And he was like, I don't know what the earwig is. Do you know what the earwig is? Some of you may know it, right? I didn't know what... I actually knew what it was in Spanish, but I didn't know the name in English. Anyways, I started looking at the earwig wing, and so it happened that it has some specific properties that made it by stable, specifically that this wing can be looked as a four-facet origami system, but decreases spaces between the facets stretch. And this is what we found and led us to discover how the earwig wing unfolds and folds. This is an epi-simulation. What is extremely interesting is that these behavior of the stretching of the creases and the popping up and down that it leads these by stability, it's also connected to frustration. And you can see it by trying to put together in 3D tetrahedra. They will form six... Each vertex is going to come into a six... Each vertex will share six sides of a tetrahedron. And this is because this adds to 360. In Euclidean space, the addition of the angles when you share vertices need to add to 260. So if you try to put, for example, five tetrahedra together, there is going to be a missing angle. And this missing angle is the same missing angle that creates the popping up on the earwig and, again, my frustration appeared. So it's very interesting how, absolutely by luck, because I didn't know about this before I started studying, the main contributions of my work up until here were connected. It's really, really remarkable. This work, in particular, also highlights some of the other things that I think have really helped me to come here, which is I've really had the lock of being in different countries. I did my PhD in Great Britain, my postdoc in Germany, and was a group leader in Switzerland and seen all these different ways of doing the same thing by different peoples really helped me to understand diversity, appreciate diversity of approaches and diversity of backgrounds. And this has led me to put a lot of effort in helping with internationalization and collaborations as my contribution to my department and the college. So we have done some study abroad, outreach to minority engineers, and also I had the privilege of going with Ding Chiang to Colombia to try to enhance our collaborations with universities over there. Now, I think that I don't have too much time left for this, so I will go to the end. And is how I measure success? So I didn't have any metrics here because my metrics is to see my students having fun and also receive from my friends and my family their appreciation for my work. This is the metric I use and this is what really gives me and drives me every day. So these are just a collection of pictures of things that happened in my lab, our first conference in numbers, our first barbecue, my first doctoral hat. So these are traditions that I'm trying to bring from my time in Germany and Switzerland to my lab, my first hooding, first trip to Chicago and here are most of my students without whom I wouldn't be here and it's my privilege to be able to mentor them and share with them a little bit of the journey that brought me here. I also have to thank all my sponsors which of course help, not help us support us and allow us to do the wonderful things we do. And finally, I want to thank my family which had to deal with my frustrating behavior as I was growing up, particularly my granddad, he's going to turn 100 and won in a few days and his example really was consequential and fundamental to me being here. So thanks everybody and hopefully you can take some questions. Thank you Andres, that was truly wonderful, very informative, but also a little bit entertaining. Questions for Andres? Yes? Thank you, thank you for sharing the story, it's just a story, thank you so much. So this is Yu, I'm an assistant professor from industrial engineering, so my background is also robotics and mechanism design. So I saw this very interesting design, shape and morphine, shape programming. I wonder if you briefly comment about the challenges and the opportunities in shape and morphine in robot applications. Okay, yeah, this is really, really wonderful. So let me tell you how I got there. So I was working on morphine wings which tried to change the shape of an extremely optimized system, a wing structure, hyper light, and where the shape change, a little bit of bad shape destroys the behavior. So then I thought, okay, maybe I find a relatively simpler problem and then I started thinking about soft robotics or compliant robotics. Why is that? Because maybe it didn't have to be so lightweight, the shape didn't need to be so extremely precise and we started working on it. What I have learned is that, of course, this was not true. The challenges are equally hard. Now, what is very interesting about compliant robots for us is the opportunity to simplify their functioning by encoding properties into the structural system. And when I talk about properties functionality such as control and actuation. So I think that as engineers we naturally try to solve our problems by using techniques combining different types of systems and then using all our tools to make it work. But this begets complexity. And I think that this is one of the challenges for our time, particularly if we want to see robots everywhere. They cannot be complex and they cannot be very expensive. So an opportunity is how do you make robots more robust and simpler and how do you make them affordable such that they can be really deployed everywhere. And this is what's driving me in trying to come up with interesting properties that allow you to have encoded reconfiguration and coded controls. We call it encoded mechanologic to be able to have a simple input that by modulating it in time so this is connected to the order of the pressing of these meta sheets allow you to go to different types of final states. And I'm very happy to see that Milind was here. He helped me to understand that this is a type of higher level logic that it's just finite state machines type of logic which for me was relatively new when I started looking at it. But it gives an opportunity to simplify the system greatly. So I see that making affordable robotics it's a great opportunity and the challenge is how do you encode sufficient functionality to make it work. And we try to do that by simplifying the system as opposed to maybe make it more complex. Yeah, I'm Barrett Caldwell from Industrial Engineering. I want to ask you a very speculative question that actually goes back to your Colombian leg up. All right. There's been some recent work looking at the sound propagation on Mars looking at the speed of sound calculations from perseverance and ingenuity. Apparently, because of the nature of the atmosphere it's a biphase speed of sound with a transition in the acoustic range. If you are building a spacecraft or a structure on Mars do we have a geometric frustration problem if the speed of sound changes in a region that we might expect vibrations? I'm completely blown away by your question. I will be a fool if I try to respond technically. I don't know. I really don't know, but it's extremely interesting. It's extremely interesting. And this is serendipity happening as we speak. I cannot give an intelligent answer to your question but I'm going to make sure to find out what's going on there for sure. You'll hear from me. This is incredible. Any other questions? I'm sorry that I cannot give an answer. Of course, I expected Monk to have a question. I don't want to have any misconstruction that I'm not paying attention to this talk. By the way, great to see you again, I still vividly remember our journey together with a few other colleagues to Colombia and rest assured that while there are aeroastro-inspired mechanical engineers there are also a large number of mechanical-inspired aeroastro colleagues and students as well. On the topic of Colombia collaboration, just wondering, since the trip we took, which was three years ago or so, and visiting a few universities and tried to create a pipeline of exchange students and master and PhD students, how is it going and what more can we do? Well, that's a wonderful question, Dean Chang. I think we have got the momentum when we went. This was October 2019, and then we all know what happened in March, right? So everything came to a ground hold through the pandemic. But during the pandemic, right before the pandemic, I was at Los Andes, so I was very, you know, extremely lucky to recruit one of my students who's here, who's Juan Osorio, he's from Los Andes. And we have kept the connections. I met with my bachelor thesis advisor last December to try to reignite the exchange with students. Of course, we're hosting now Nicolás is here from Universidad Nacional on the Europe Sea program. But I think that we needed, we really need to reignite the connections. And what we discussed when I was last there is that we need to have an articulated sequence that allows also the professors from Columbia leverage the time that their students come here. And this is, for example, having six months here, then going to serve, and then they return in to finish their thesis there so that the publications can be done. And one of the ideas that we talked about was to have this symposium or small conference back in Columbia with the students that come here that do research such that we can showcase it to other students in the universities because they know about it, but the impact of having a symposium would allow us to have much more interest. So I think that this has not happened yet and hopefully we can try to do it for next year. So that's something that it's on my bucket list, although it's not really something that I have, it's an ultimate power to do, but I'm pushing for it. Thank you. I think we're almost out of time, right? Is that correct? Because my follow-on question to this is, you were recruiting from Columbia and me personally, I have a few students from Germany always floating around for some reason. But how do we expand this? How do we get others involved to really make it more of a global effort than just maybe on this personal relationship that we're trying to build? Yeah, this is the challenge. So I can tell you a sad story for us. When Juan applied, one of his colleagues, which was a mechanical engineer and he also did physics at the same time, which in Los Andes is not a mean feat, and got extremely high grades, applied to Purdue. His GPA, if you just translate it to percentage, was 91%. 91% in mechanical engineering in Los Andes is top 2% of the past 10 years, but nobody offered him an array here. He was in fluid dynamics. So the problem is that we have to go beyond to really learn the systems and maybe be more proactive in our graduate committees to have international professors that have this local knowledge to flag up these students more vigorously and be champions for them to come. So he is now in Denmark, right Juan? At DTU. It's a little loss for us, I think. So I think that we need to do more targeted recruiting. So what I was describing, have a symposium at the university. People will see our names. We have to have some faculty there to give weight to this symposium. And then when the opportunity comes, we need to grab them. And I think that this is maybe what happens. A little bit of lack of knowledge and we all are very busy, so it's very hard. But I think that there is... talent is really universal and we really need to look everywhere for it. Great. Thank you very much. I think I will close it out now. Avin, you want to have the last one. Thank you again, Andres, for a wonderful presentation. Andrew and Max, thank you. Thank you, Eckhart. And as Andres mentioned, he and I, academic brothers in a sense, coming from the same post-doc experience in Germany. So this is nice to see. Actually, I heard about Andres before he even applied here. My post-doc advisor at the time said, hey, you got to look out for Andres. I'm really glad it all worked out here. Well, this is the last celebrating or associate professor's event of this spring semester. So I'd like to thank all of you for participating. It's been a fantastic series. And, oh, yes, we have a lot of colleagues and friends online. So a big thanks to all of them as well for joining us. A big thanks to the committee, all the people who have organized this event, certainly to Ed and the AV team here, to Marcia, Maria and Amy, that have actually very successfully carried out these events. There's a lot of work. As you know, there's a lot of customized outreach to all the mentors, the special emails that go to specific individuals, asking them to apply, so a lot of work goes on. So please join me in thanking the honorees, as well as those who helped make this event possible. Thank you.


Yeah, we are. So good evening, good afternoon, and good morning in whatever time it is around the world where you're listening to this meeting. So this is the GSOC office hour on May 18th. We're in the middle of the bonding period. A lot of activity happened. And still ongoing. So we're not going to waste too much time in saying hello and telling funny story that's before the meeting starts. We're going to go immediately. I see we have, I believe we have all the projects represented. So what I'm going to do is ask, generally, I asked to the contributor or participant three questions. So what was achieved this week or the week that just was completed? What is scheduled for the coming week? And are there any worries, impediments or things that keep you awake at night where we can help? Good news is also welcome. But generally, that's before. So I suggest that we start immediately. On my list, Vendit is first. So Vendit about building Jenkins with alternative tools. So tell me what happened the past week. We had our first meeting on May 14th, and I have created my bio. We have set up, we have set up our project based details. My first contributor blog post and a public report for code development, where we will also set up the project wiki that will that will have the in depth project plan for the project. Okay. What do you plan? Go ahead. And an initial email to Jenkins.dev.googlegroups.com is still pending. That will be done by today or like tomorrow. I'll send that to Chris and he will send it to the group mailing list. Okay, that sounds good. And what do you plan for next week? Do you have still because I think you ticked most of the boxes for the bonding period? Yeah, I have my exams got preponed and they are now from May 22. So that was a nice thing that I take most of the boxes and all of the remaining boxes will be ticked by today. So I would start. I think I'll see you in when the coding period starts from May 28 because May 27th is my last exam. Okay. So a general comment here. Thank you, Vendit. A general comment here related. So I will say it often. So work and studies. Go first. You just need to say I have this this issue or this planning issue just say it and we're going to find a solution together. And generally the default value is anyway, exams, private life and work have priority. GSOC is important, but we'll find the balance together. This is very good. Vendit, any worries beside your exams? No, everything is going smooth till now. That's what I think. Does one of the mentors want to add something to Vendit's summary? Yeah, so yeah, everything is going fine. I mean, this is going great. I mean, I saw the initialization of the repository for Gatsby and Antora and yeah, I mean it's fine. Very good. Thank you for sharing the status of that project. So we'll move to unless somebody else has a question or so. We'll leave a gap of a couple of questions and we move to the next project. Okay, let's move to Jakruti. I have a doubt that I'm pronouncing the first name correctly. I apologize. So I need to learn the correct accent and the correct intonation. So anyway, bear with me if it's not correct. So this is about the adding probes to plug in health score. So tell us what happened the past week? The past week, I mean, before Jitok, I was already working on adding a new probe. So I'm continuing the same thing this week as well. I'm struggling a bit with the test cases. So I'm going to finish it as soon as possible. And I've already created my bio page and updated the project page and only writing the blog is pending. So I'm planning to do it by this weekend or by next week. We already had two meetings in which Adrian firstly the ground rules and in the second one he explained my mistakes in the test cases in detail and everything. So I think I'm progressing pretty well. Very good. What's what's planned for next week? You already mentioned it so you're continuing. Yes, I'm continuing the current work. I hope I finish it by next week and I will also make sure that the blog is completed. The blog about my project that we are doing. It's important to communicate correctly to the community. The community is now very curious. And so we need to show what we're what we're doing and so so and then we can move on to the coding. Very good Jack Ruthie something that keeps you awake or worries you how are you feeling. Thank you so much. It is just only that I'm so great that it might happen to you that I will not be able to manage my time and my work and so both at the same time. But for now everything is working fine. Let's see how it goes in future. Okay, don't forget to reach out and discuss that with your mentor. If you find you don't find there is no compromise or it doesn't work. You can always reach out to me or Chris or another or admin but I think based on my experience. It's never necessary to escalate but be careful to maintain a good balance. You will hear that very often from me. Thank you. Very good. Thank you very much for your report. Good work. So, I think you're all going very fast. Do you want to add something to Chakruti's report? Not really. I'm happy with the progress and we are moving forward by taking off the items that we're supposed to do during the community bonding period. Her PR just got merged about updating our project page on Jenkins.io and she's actually working on the blog post next and yes. So all the things are going great and she's also working on the code side by side which is not a priority but she is. So that's a good thing. Very good. For the others, the difficulty here with this project is that Chakruti is free during the weekend where Adrian is available only during the week. So there will really experiment asynchronous work and so there will be some challenges there but it really looks great because here this period now I'm impressed so this started well. Okay, we can now move on to docker based quick start with Ashutosh. I pronounce your first name correctly. Yes. Yes. So you already know what is the question I'm going to ask you go ahead. I have uploaded my bio on Jenkins.io and we had some issues scheduling the call and we have decided to schedule it for tomorrow. So we didn't have meeting yet, but we'll have it tomorrow. Okay, and this was mainly because you had exams. Yes, yes. And then one of the mentors was on PTO and one of the other mentor was not available until tomorrow. So that explains why we are so late. It's not true. Go ahead. I was wondering about said he hasn't confirmed if he will attend or not for tomorrow's meeting. I think I got an email from him saying he would be attending tomorrow at 3pm his time. Okay. Okay, so put that. I say it has been on and off. Yes, he just got off for my vacation. Yeah. So, well, let's continue. So, well, you're starting first meeting setup. And there you will discuss on the various deliverables.  We have Slack channel, which is linked to the CDF Slack workspace. We also have now a Gitter channel, which is linked to Jenkins. What else? Am I forgetting something Ashutosh? No, you got everything I think. I'm going to discuss all the details tomorrow during the meeting. Yeah. Okay, Ashutosh, is there something that worries you? No, not right now. Time will come. Yeah. Don't worry, just start. Hey, great. But it's a ritual question, but I it's also that the other the others here also what what's happening on a project. Next, the last one is a GitLab plugin modernization with a turning the camera on. Great. Now you need to help me. I is harsh. You're in is it pronounced that way? Is that you're the first name? Yeah. Well, I think we discussed that already. So harsh. Go ahead. Tell us what happened. What is going to happen? My exams are over. So I am going to have my mid semester breaks. So things will be much faster. Now I have to upload the bio. I did the bio. Yeah, the blog post. Yeah, the blog post. I missed it. So I will add the blog post and my project plan is going to be completed soon. So we'll have the discussion tomorrow regarding the technical details of the project plan. And I think from 22nd or 23rd, I'll start contributing to the project. That's why. And you had already meetings. Yeah, we had meetings. Tomorrow is our second meeting in which the project plan will be tomorrow is our third meeting in which the project plan will be discussed. Okay, very good. Do you manage with the time or you and mark because you're very far away nearly the other side of the earth. No, no problems at all. Okay, good worries. Nope. Everything is fine. Hey, good. Okay. Does somebody want to raise concern or want to share something globally. I think we're starting fine. Everybody gets aligned and have a nice week. Oh, I do. Yeah, for you for different projects. I'm not sure how, how the other partners are doing it. But I think we're supposed to engage the community more. So I suggest like, if, if like data projects haven't already done so, like, you should talk to your mentor and have either your lead mentor, or yourself, write an email to the community, explain your plans. And what you plan to do and, and also get feedback, because like the stakeholders who may want to know more before you proceed, and they may have like some suggestions for you. Very good point. Chris, what channel would you suggest to use for that. I suggest to use email to the developer. Yeah. And well, alternative, if you want to go broader, the developer list is, is great. The, the alternative, not alternative complimentary that would be on discourse on the main channel just saying hello. I think I think they're two main lists. So one is for users. So, and, and our for developers. So maybe if, if sent by email, both channels should be used. And discourse. It's a good challenge to both doing both will begin. Yeah. To discuss in the next project meetings. I think that the point raised by Chris is is to the point is exactly we need to engage more in a community to get them involved the blog post is important. And, but we need to do a little bit more. Thank you Chris for for that. Anything else. That's a very good question to crouty long enough.  It just gives me a few seconds to think. The rule of thumb that I had was around 800 words, which sounds already a little bit long. What would be in the blog post is who you are. What's the project is going to be about giving a few links, or the people that want either to hear what's going on, or to have more details on what's happening. And then maybe a conclusion on how are you feeling about the, the adventure. So between 400, 800, 800 words one page. Does it sounds logical. You guys first like write it in the Google Docs and share with the community. Make a PR in general. Well, you can first discuss so make a draft in Google Docs and share it with your team. So the project team, but to publish the blog post is through the Jenkins.io. I'm not sure that understood the question correctly. Did I answer your question. Yes, yes. So you do a draft just to see is it too long or too short. You will, you will feel it in your, in your guts. In Jenkins.io, I think I have to use a doc syntax. Yeah, that becomes a little challenging when you write and also use the syntax at the same time. Okay, so here we all have to to learn quite a few things and and people are there also to to help a doc is an extension of Markdown. There's some characters. And here. This is something where I can help technically I can't. I'm too rusted for that but documents and blog posts and Jenkins.io. I know enough. Start with a draft in Google Docs and the rest we can help you. Okay. Great. Thank you very much then for joining this this meeting I'll, I'll keep it short that way. I think it's great to share where we standing and we grab ideas from the discussion. So, if you can't make it to the meeting is no problem, just make sure that there will be somebody representing the project, either mentor, or dog wants to come in, but he has to wait. Okay. Okay, thank you very much all have a nice rest of the day. Good work during the, during the coming week and see you then. Next week all. Thank you everyone. Bye bye. Thank you. Bye everyone.


Hey guys, it's Nate, aka The Foot Account. Welcome back to the channel. Future Stars Team 2 is finally here today, and with that, very high expectations for these cards coming today. Future Stars players, Future Stars icons in Team 2, the stats, the leaks are looking good, guys. They're looking very good, and the hype is there. But how will all the content today and these new cards impact the game? What's going to happen to the market? We're going to talk about all of that today, and what to expect on a big Friday of all team. If you're excited for it, drop a thumbs up. Subscribe if you're new. Now, before we get on to what's happening today, let's talk about what happened yesterday very quickly. With the Season 4 Act 2 mascot madness, it's all about the mascots in this season. This season, I don't think there's anything super special to it. You do have a couple of Future Stars cards in here. You've got Merlin at a left back for level 5, not a bad card. He does have Anticipate playstyle on his card as well. Whipped Pass Plus, a decent card, right? I don't think that's going to be used by all of us, but some of us are excited for that one. Eunus Moussa at level 10, I think they could have boosted this card up a little bit more. He only has a 3 star weak foot, which is a bit unfortunate. He's medium medium. Some of the stats look pretty good though.  And then if you go through the rest of the season here, the packs, they're okay. I mean, it's just pretty average, right? To be honest, it's just pretty average with these packs. We do have a couple interesting player picks though. At level 15, you have the opportunity to choose a one of three Future Stars Team 1 or a Team 2 player or an 85x7. I'm going to say, guys, I think the 85x7 is going to be the play. We know what these player picks are going to get a lot of the lower rated cards, but if you want to take it, if you want to de-gen for the gamble, that opportunity is there for you. Also at level 20, you've got an 87x4 or the first, I think it's the first, 85x10 of the year. So that is their 85x10, such a very popular pack that has been released. And we'll see a lot of it, of course, towards the end of the year. But that's at level 20. And at level 25, the very end of the season, we've got Thunderstruck Figo. We've got a one of three Fantasy Team 1 or 2. We'll talk about that a little bit at the end of the video. EA literally just told us what the next promo is going to be. Foot Fantasy or FC Fantasy, as we know it. And then an 84x20 at level 25. Probably go for the 84x20 if you're crafting an SBC. But the Fantasy one could be interesting as well. Again, a bit more of a de-gen gamble option. A couple of other packs in here. I mean, the packs are that amazing. I mean, they're good. They're good, but they're not like... I don't feel like the packs are leveling up a crazy amount, but it is kind of, again, a middle range season. It's only 27 days long. It's 25 levels. So it's not going to be that hard to get the XP, and it's going to fly by by the time we get to the very end. So that was the season content that was dropped yesterday. I think Foot Champs is still extended. I don't think they updated any rewards for that or anything along those lines. I haven't seen any news around that. I guess we'll find out today for sure if Foot Champs is still extended to the same schedule that it has been. And I believe that it is, but I guess we'll just have to find out for sure today. Yesterday, we did have a player as we see. It was Matias Suley from the Serie A, the Argentinian right wing. He's got rapid plus, incisive technical quick step and chip shots. He has four star, four star left footed, and it's a decent card.  That might be a little bit of a problem, but it's cheap. It's only 37, 36, 37,000 coins. It's an 84 rated squad with an inform. So it is very cheap if that card interests you. We also had marquee matchups, which interestingly enough gives out a mega pack. That's a pretty solid pack for what we've had recently in marquee matchups. So if you wanna go ahead and do that for a mega pack tradable, that is there as well. And there is actually some of the first XP that you can get. It is in the store. That is the only problem with it. It is in the store, guys, but it's under the seasonal tab. You maybe have noticed these locked objectives and then the future stars away and home one. This is, you have to go buy the kits in the store to get this done, which actually right now I can't show you the store and I can't show you the kits because I have a card in my unassigned, which I'm actually going to turn into an SBC really fast. So I don't forget because I have the SBC built. It is Bruno Fernandez. We're gonna finish this SBC live on stream and then we're gonna talk about future stars. Boom. Okay, that is like a lot of the fodder in my club. But shout out to the 85 double and the 84 times five for this week. I didn't start this SBC until like three days ago. And with the 84, five and 85 double along with the 80 plus player pick, I mean, we got Bruno done so easily. And I'm glad that we'll be able to have him in our squad for a foot champions, which is very, very nice. But those kits are in the store. If you want to get that XP, I'm not going to spend the, I think it's like 75 or 80,000 coins to get that XP. Not for me, but if that is something you want to do that is there. Now let's start with the news that actually started yesterday, but it really pertains to today. Guys, future stars team two, we were first kind of showing some official stats on the loading screen. We think we know who's these cards are. Obviously on the left, it is the leaked Xayar Emery. And that card looks absolutely juiced. We have official stats for that card that I'll show you in a second. They did a madness on that card. One of the reasons why we're excited for the cards coming into packs today and how much EA is boosting them. And then on the right, it's almost undoubtedly Ziko. It's a plus one, right? A lot of the icons are plus ones over their most recent promo version. And that would be a simple plus one for his card as well. Some people are shouting Rivaldo on this. I don't believe it's Rivaldo. I think it's gonna be Ziko, but we'll just have to see. Now, for the cards coming today, we have a massive list of players, guys. This is a massive team of players that is coming today, including the icons and the regular players. Now, I will tell you right now, of course, Suley was dropped as an SBC. So he is not a part of this list. And I do believe that there could be objective and SBC players involved in this list and also a mini-release. So I'm not expecting to see all of these players drop today. I also do believe that one or two maybe of these icons could be SBCs in the next week as well. So they might not all be in packs today, but these are all the leaked cards for Future Stars team too, of course. Zidane, Ziko, the Rivaldo, the Carlos Puyol, Canavaro. Baggio was leaked yesterday. Ned Veds a new one. Beckham, Smith. And then, of course, you go to the main squad. Cold Palmer, Hoylent, Zaire Emery. Rico Lewis was leaked yesterday. Salma, Parloelo. This card's gonna be cracked, all right? That card's gonna be insane. Niko Williams, look at the pace in this team. Like, how many cards have 90 paces or above? Hemp, Pabasha, Palmer, Hoylent, Zaire Emery, Rico Lewis, Salma, Niko Williams, like almost the entire team, guys. Has above 90 paces, except for probably center-back Qior from Arsenal. Diakite from a league one right back position is also a new card as well. And I believe there's even some other cards that are not on this list that are shown here that foot sheriff tweeted out for a couple more players that might be included in this promo as well. But we also have some official stats, and that's what I wanna get into as well. This is why we're continuing to be hyped for this Future Stars team, too. These are the official stats, the official card for Cold Palmer, as it has been leaked. Finesse Plus and Quickstep Plus, 91 rated. He's gonna be expensive today, guys. Look at the state of that card. 94 paces, 90 shooting, 88 passing, 91 dribbling, and 85 physical. With those play styles, that card's gonna be expensive, but absolutely insane. So Chelsea fans, you're gonna have to get some coins to try out that card. Zaire Emery is also a leaked card from the loading screen. These are his official stats and play style pluses and the dynamic press proven with Technical Plus. This card, like, that is team of the season level. 90 dribbling, 90 pace, and 85 and above in every stat except for shooting. That card looks freaking nuts, man. With the PSG, with the French links as well, he's gonna be very expensive today as well, and that's why the hype has continued to build for this promo team. We've got the official Hoiland stats, too, guys. I think this card looks pretty solid. Right away, when I saw this leak, I automatically thought of Shevchenko because he's got the same play style pluses that Shevchenko does have, but I will say he does beat out Shevchenko in physicality. He's six foot three, remember? Hoiland has the Ultimate Dynasties card, like we've talked about, with Finesse Plus. I was not expecting the new Hoiland to get Finesse Plus. Like, none of his other items have that. The Inform doesn't have it. His Base Cold card doesn't have it. So this one, having Finesse Plus, I think was a little bit of an illusion to be completely honest, but they're giving him Power Shot Plus today and they're giving him First Touch Plus. But four star, four star, maybe they upgrade the weak foot, who knows. High, high work rates, mostly lengthy.  I mean, especially if they were to give him Power Header or Aerial, since he's a bit taller, he can be very, very good for headers. He's already got 96 heading and 95 jumping and 90 strength on this card and he's getting plus five physical today. I mean, that shooting is gonna be incredible. His dribbling is gonna be pretty solid as well. This is gonna be a nuts card. I think it's gonna be pretty expensive too, but he's 89 rated. So will he be a little bit more packable? Kind of like Art Agouler or will he be a little bit more rare, like Bonaface, right from last week's team? It's really gonna be interesting to see how the pack weight works on some of these cards. Now, that's the Hoylan card that we have official stats for. I believe we have official stats for Rivaldo as well. Center attacking mid. He's got Flair and Power Shot and he's got all 90s in the pace, shooting, passing and dribbling categories. That card looks like solid. It looks really, really solid. Now, the one thing to think about is he needs the weak foot upgrade. He already has an Ultimate Dynasties card this year, the big bro version of Ultimate Dynasties that has the weak foot upgrade. So I'm hoping that this one does as well. And let me quickly go find those other tweets from Foot Sheriff about those couple more cards that were leaked. Oh yeah, Olyse is coming as a Future Stars player as well. Like, wow, what a last minute addition. Now, I don't know why he's shown here as West Ham. He's obviously Crystal Palace, but that is a crazy card as well. I mean, those stats are predicted, but Olyse is a huge, huge name to get into the promo team today. And here's a couple more, Xerxi. Like guys, when I'm telling you that this promo team looks massive, there's like 20-something players that are leaked. This is unbelievable how many cards have been leaked. Here's a few more. Nets as a left back from the Bundesliga. Laetitiaire from Manchester United women's team as a center back card. You've got Milo from Stuttgart as a French center attacking mid. Probably gonna be one of those cheaper cards for sure. And then Paco from the Bundesliga. A lot of Bundesliga love. You might remember his card from, I think it was called the level up promo at the end of FIFA 23. He had like a 93 rated card. Remember we had to go play all those games to level up those cards. He had a cracked card then. Looks like he's getting another promo version now. It's crazy, honestly. How many cards are leaked to be in this team and how many cards are gonna be coming out? And with the stats, the official ones that we have seen guys, like there is genuine hype for this promo team today. We just have to, I think we have to manage our expectations a little bit guys. That's the only thing that I have to say today. Like there's a lot of hype, but also there's expectations for it to be super crazy hyped. And we kind of touched on it in yesterday's video a little bit that if these cards come out today for team two and they have a lot different Paco weight than team one. Like of course guys for the past week, we've been packing future stars left, right and center. All of these, even guys like Harvey Elliott, but especially the fodder cards. Like I'm sure you're tired of packing Germa. I'm sure you're tired of packing Bissec and cards like that. Is that gonna be the same? Are they gonna have the same Pacweight for this team too? Or is EA gonna change it? Cause it looks like they're boosting more of these cards up a little higher. That's the question that I have. So if our expectations are not met today guys, because our expectations are high and a lot of times when the community has high expectations, sometimes we blow things out of proportion, but we do see those cards and it's like, it looks really good. I think it comes down to the Pacweight today. As I just mentioned, it's gonna come down to how packable these cards are. I'm saving up a couple of packs. I'm gonna do the rest of my 84 fives and 85 doubles and save them for today. But what I wanna closely watch for is to see for especially some of these store packs, like I don't know, maybe we'll watch like a Deluxe 86 plus or one of these store packs that came out last Friday. I think there was a, is there a 400 K pack? I think this came out last Friday on the content drop. 81% chance of a future star. So we'll remember that number 81% from the future stars super giant pack. And if that pack is out today on Friday for team two, we'll have to see how close the percentage is from 81%. Now granted, there probably wouldn't be a mini release in packs, but we'll also be able to tell like 5, 10, 15 minutes after the content drop live on stream today, we'll be able to see how supply these cards were. Remember last week, Harvey Elliott dropped down like 150 K in the first five minutes. And I was like, what? That's a crazy card for 150 K, right? We were used to everything being so unpackable. It was a surprise that there was so much supply on the market. We're going to be able to tell today how packable these cards are, especially as we look at the market. And a lot of you guys are probably saving packs and player picks as well. We're going to get a real good sense of how things are going to be today, very shortly after content. And if they do mess with the pack weight and make these new cards less packable, that's going to impact the market, which we'll talk about in just a second. One quick card that I forgot to show you official thoughts for is Mukoko. EA actually tweeted this out themselves. This one looks like it's going to be a cheaper one in my opinion. But he's got Acrobatic Plus and Technical Plus with 91 pace, 88 shooting, 89 dribbling and 80 physical. So that is a very, very solid card for Mukoko. Now let's talk a little bit about SBC content that is coming today, guys. This is the only, I think, one of the only SBC players that has been leaked so far. And especially an SBC player that has a big enough name, big enough hype to be like a Friday type of SBC, right? Last Friday, of course, we remember who the SBC players was, right? It was Claudia Pina, women's Barca team, an SBC that so many people did, such a cracked card and such a great price. Can Hemp live up to the hype is my question. If she is our SBC player today, which in my opinion, I think she will be. Hemp had a Thunderstruck card earlier on this year that was very, very hyped because it had whipped past plus. And I'm going to look up that card right now, kind of show that to you guys. Maybe you remember using it, maybe you don't. It was a really good card and it got hyped up, especially her gold card even got very hyped up early on in the year for that whipped past plus. Very good dribbling stats, high, high work rates, like 92 dribble, 94 pace on a 90 rated card. This hemp that could be released today could be pretty crazy. Now again, this is a Thunderstruck card that was a live item. So will EA go above this in rating? I hope so. Will they give her two play style pluses? I hope so. We need that. We need a week foot upgrade as well for this to be a really good SBC today. So I don't know how much that's going to cost. I don't know if it's going to be as good values last week with Claudia Pina, but I think that might be our SBC today. Watch out for city links. You guys remember what happened last week? Not necessarily that Barca links went crazy high with Claudia Pina, but I just think that there could be some city links. If that SBC is good, it will move up in price a little bit because there'll be a lot of hype for those completing the SBC. Now other cards that are leaked that could come out today in objectives. Savio from Girona is also leaked as an SBC slash objective player. That seems more maybe objective-ish to me, but I'm not entirely sure how that will work out. I would expect to see an objective player today 100%. That's something we see every single Friday as well. And maybe there's a small chance that he would be our actual player SBC. We'll have to see, but I think hemp is the biggest name out of all the leaked SBC players unless we were to get an icon today. I guess there's a chance of that as well as our Friday player SBC like a future stars icon. And as of right now, we don't know who's actually going to be an SBC. Except that we know it's potentially going to be either Carlos Puyo or Canavaro as a center back. There's two center backs that are leaked. And I think one of them is going to end up being an SBC. So we'll see. That's the SBC content for today. There's not a hero pick or maybe the hero pick is refreshing again. I don't know if it is though. Maybe like the other gamble pick is refreshing. I have not kept track of the picks this week. The player picks, let's see, is the 87 plus? No, the 87 plus does not refresh until Saturday. So for fodder wise today, there's not really a lot that makes me think that fodder is going to go up. The 85 double is going to refresh today. The 80 plus player picks are still here in SBCs. We'll probably get a brand new 83 plus team in the week as they refresh that every Friday. So I'm not expecting fodder to move a lot based off of a gamble pack upgrade pack SBC. It would really be, it would have to be an insane player SBC with some sort of requirement that is very specific to make fodder move. Other than that, I think it's going to end up dropping. Now, let's talk about the big place of content today that's going to impact the market a lot more for sure. And that is evolutions, evolutions, however you say it. We are expecting guys today the final two, hopefully, right? They gave us two attackers. They gave us two defender Academy evos. We're expecting the future stars mid-fielder EVO today in the Academy design. Now we actually have the official requirements, which it's not like a crazy leak because we kind of already know how this is going to work, right? EA's going to give us a pack of 10 different midfielders and we're going to be able to choose two of them to put into the two evos to create boost in midfielders. I'm really curious to see the play style pluses, right? For the attackers, the play style pluses were okay for the defenders. They were better for a midfielder. You're like, okay, when we're talking about play style pluses for a midfield player, like you look at the options, you're like, okay, incisive pass, ping pass, long ball, tiki-taka, whipped pass, maybe a couple of ball control, maybe a ball control play style plus. Like if they give press proven today, like that's going to be pretty good. I could see them giving like first touch plus and maybe like a long ball. Maybe, I don't know, they don't like to give out tiki-taka at some or even incisive. We'll see. I hope they do something good today with this EVO for sure and pick good players because that's part of the hype as well, right? They've been picking good players. I hope they continue that today. But one thing I do want to point out is with the specific pace passing and dribbling requirements that EA have put out, I know some of you guys maybe were even saving Adina and Bimbe or any of the other evos. Maybe you weren't starting just yet to see who would fit into the midfielder one today. And if there was any overlap, kind of how like the defenders can fit into this attacker EVO, like Sergio Gomez can fit into the attacker one. With the stat requirements that EA have put in there, it looks like none of them are going to be able to cross over into the midfield EVO today, which actually gives me a little bit more hope that it might be the best one yet if they're not letting any of these cards fit into it because they say we have a specific set of players that we want to fit into it. So that's where a lot of the hype is today. For sure, I would be staying away from midfielders on the market because as we saw last week with attackers and as we saw on Sunday last week with the defenders, I would expect to see prices dropping on the middle to lower tier of midfielders and even maybe on some of the middle to high tier as well, just because people are going to say, oh wow, this midfielder that they dropped from this EVO looks to be better than what I have in my team. I'm going to sell it and go use the new card. So with all this coming, especially the big EVO, the cracked cards today, and especially with the pack weight of team one being so good and people expecting that for team two as well, what's going to happen to the market today, guys? I think everybody's expecting it to crash because of how good the content looks, how much hype there is. And I think there's real reasoning to think that the market is going to drop today, but guys, I have to say, I think the market's going to actually drop some this morning before we get to the content drop because of this hype, because of the hype and everything anticipating ahead of this promo, I think people are going to start to sell off maybe not necessarily these future stars that are going out of packs, but I think you will see some dips around the market on maybe other promo cards, maybe a couple of road to the finals, team of the honorable mentions that have been dropping, I could see some of these falling back down again this morning on Friday, even with the start of footchamps and weak and lean because people are trying to get out of cards before content today, expecting a crash after content. And yes, today's content could be really good, right? If all of these cards that get dropped, especially with the stats that they have are in the same pack weight zone as future stars team one, then there's going to be some more market drops, even some of the cards from team one of future stars might drop off a little bit, especially with the Evo. But also guys, if everybody is selling ahead of the content drop today, what does that mean? That everybody is going to be buying after the content drop on something, right? Whether they're waiting to buy until later after they watch the market drop from all the content or if they start buying like shortly after content, I just feel like this means a really good opportunity to trade, a really good opportunity to maybe buy some cards around the content drop or maybe a little bit afterwards to see some prices maybe go back up as people go back out and play footchamps and play weak and lean and stuff like that because whenever you have a lot of selling before a Friday promo and especially today, especially if the content does not excite, if it's an okay SBC, if the Evo is good, but we've seen it now that this is the third time, right? If it's just good and not like OMG, wow type of grade, then I do feel like you could have some really good opportunities on the market today is to buy some specific cards, some rare out of pack specials, probably the strikers and defenders would be your best shout because again, the midfielders might be hurt a bit because of the Evo, also goalkeepers, right? I would shout goalkeepers. It doesn't look like we're getting one today. If there's any panic on goalkeepers, buy it if it's reasonable panic because those cards are in very high demand as there's been no new ones released. So I would definitely shout out that as well. But all I'm saying is if you're somebody who likes to trade on the market a lot, just watch the market today because there will be plenty of movements. Like I just frauded not bidding on this Griezmann for 300 and whatever 1,000 coins. Like this is a card that I sold earlier for 470. There are deals out there, okay? Like even this 444 Griezmann kind of tempts me. Okay, no, it doesn't, but you know, there's deals out there on the market. There are lots of them. This draw Felix was 501 on stream yesterday. He's 550. So if there's panic today, I think if you find a rare card, you're gonna be able to flip it because people will be going out and playing games. And especially if you wanna trade with any of the new cards, one thing that I did last week, you guys maybe remember seeing me flip icons and the Future Stars cards that were in packs for the new team. These cards are gonna be fantastic to trade with. People are gonna be going out on the market today and buying these cards. I would not buy them straight away. Again, I would wait to see the supply kick in. A lot of these cards last week, if I remember, like Harvey, Elliot and Goulet are just dropped, dropped, dropped, dropped for hours. And then they went up a little bit into Saturday. Then they dropped a bunch more on Saturday, you know, and it was just kind of like that sort of thing while people were still using them, but their supply was so high. But then other players, like remember last week I flipped Lauren James, I flipped the Bonaface, Dooku, Balday, it's like part of the team is really expensive and unpackable. And the other part is like really packable and super cheap. So focus on those more rare cards and you can also like lazy list. Like last week, I remember buying Artigoulet for like, I think it was 85,000 coins and selling them for 117K when his price never went above 100. I sold multiple cards for 117K last week. On Saturday, even though his price never actually got there because there was so much hype for the new cards people wanted to try them, they were just buying the first price that they saw when they searched up the market. So those cards will be very good to trade today. Team two of the Future Stars promo but I wanna wait and see how much supply they have before we actually go out and start getting on to those on the market. And I wanna talk about fodder one last time as well. I don't see a reason why fodder is gonna go up today. I really don't. Unless there's a leak before content that a big SBC would be incoming. I don't see a reason for this to go up. I do think though that this weekend at some point will present a incredible time to invest in fodder in immaculate investment opportunity because we should have an icon player pick coming out on Sunday once again and fingers crossed an expensive good big time actually we'll say it. Icon player SBC to craft. I mean, I feel like we're a few weeks removed from all the big icons. We were talking about that yesterday. Feels like we're do another one. Don't know who it's gonna be, but I feel like we're do one soon. So watch out for that today. I wouldn't be buying this fodder unless I see something happen before content and even probably not buying until after content because you know what, there's gonna be a lot of supply today as well. And a lot of people are getting fodder, excuse me, untradable from all the packs and the menu grind that is available on this game right now. So that's kind of the state of the game for today. It's gonna be a wild one. There's a lot of expectations I hope EA deliver. The last thing to talk about is we are getting a player SBC today before content. It's gonna be Diogo Jota, player of the month for the Premier League in the month of January. And I don't know how this rating's gonna be. I hope EA give him a nice boost and make it pretty cheap. He's gonna be five star weak foot as always. His base card is, I don't know if they're gonna give him two playstyle pluses, I would doubt it. But if EA is gonna drop us some good content and maybe they would do that as well, we'll see. Diogo Jota is one of their favorite cards because he loves playing FC, he loves playing Ultimate Team and they've included him in all sorts of media stuff before. So hopefully they juice his card up a bit. We'll have to see how much that costs though for an SBC today that should come out early. And then also, as you kind of noticed, EA kind of mentioned in the objectives, right? That foot fantasy or FC fantasy is the next upcoming promo. We'll talk about this a bunch more next week guys. But this is the official card design for FC fantasy this year. Two team promo and the heroes are coming as well. This is the official design once again. And I think if I remember correctly, in previous years, the design actually changed. I think it was the first year that we had these cards. The design changed when they got upgraded. I don't know if that's gonna happen again this year. Very simple design compared to some of the other ones that we have had. You just kind of have the crystals, you have like the blue, a little bit of the graphics in the background. Very simple design, looks clean. I don't hate it, I don't love it, it's decent. And then this is the hero design as well. Again, similar, but a bit of a different color and of course has the hero insignia up here at the top with the ball, with the crown, that's the hero kind of symbol in this game and a little bit extra going around here around the side. So not too much to talk about with that because of course it's not for a few days yet but those leaks are already out and we have that news and info because EA also talked about it inside of the game. So hope it for a big day of content today guys. I'm excited for it. I've got packs saved, player picks are out all weekend, 84 fives again, going away, but the 85 double is refreshable. So good luck if you're opening packs today. We'll be doing it all on stream today. Opening packs, watching the market, having a blast, looking at the new content. If you wanna do and get involved with that, that link is down below in the description. I will see you guys there on a Twitch stream today. If you enjoyed this video though, drop a thumbs up on it, comment below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's Nate's for the count. I'll see you guys in that Twitch stream today. Peace.

A Navy patrol plane, routine patrol, only behind every cloud may be an enemy. Midway Island. Not much land, right enough. But it's our outpost. Your front yard. These are the natives of Midway. Tojo has sworn to liberate them. The birds seem nervous. There's something in the air. Something behind that sunset. Excitement this morning. The dawn patrol has sighted an enemy fleet. During the night, flying fortresses had landed at Midway. An historic council of wars held. That fellow's walk looks familiar. My neighbor's boy used to amb along just like that. Is that one of them flying fortresses? Yes ma'am, it is. That's young Will Kinney. He's from my hometown Springfield, Ohio. He's not going to fly that great big bomber. Yes ma'am, that's his job. He's a skipper. Will's dad is an engineer, 38 years on the old Ironton Railroad. And his mother. Well, she's just like the rest of us mothers in Springfield or any other American town. And his sister Patricia. She's about as pretty as they come. I'll say so. Well, Junior Kinney. Suddenly, from behind the clouds, the Japs attack. This really happened. Our warship stalked the Jap fleet. The trap is sprung. Navy planes roared from the decks of our carriers. Army bombers, Marines. Thunder destruction over a 300 mile battle area. The invasion forces were hit and hit and hit again. Men and women of America, here come your neighbor's sons. Home from the day's work. You want to meet them. There's Jimmy Thatch. Seven meatballs on his plane. How many more today, skipper? Back at Midway. Told you'll swore he'd liberate the native. They see just as free as they ever were. The battle of Midway is over. Our front yard is safe. But a big job is still to be done. Day after day our patrol planes search for survivors. Every tiny coral reef. Every distant mile of sea. Search for men who fought to the last round of ammunition and flew to the last drop of gas and then crashed into the sea. Eight days. Nine days. Ten days without food or water. His first cigarette. Oh, and that first drag sure tastes good. Eleven days. Eleven days. Well done, Massy Hughes. Logan Ramsey. Frank Fessler. Thirteen for Frank. Get those boys to the hospital. Please do quickly. Get them to clean cuts and cool sheets. Get them doctors and medicine. The nurses soft hands. Get them to the hospital. Hurry. Please. There was a hospital. Clean, orderly. A hundred beds. And on its roof the Red Cross plainly marked. The symbol of mercy. The enemy was bound to respect. The next morning divine services were held beside a bomb crater that had once been a chapel. At eventide we buried our heroic dead. The last salute from their comrades and their officers. Captain Simard of the Navy. Colonel Shannon. Major Roosevelt. Holy light. Protect us, our King.


You too team keep it clean. What's going on the same grave and hit with another video and in this video It's gonna be really quick. It did come out a couple hours ago that the Carson Palmer the Cardinals quarterback the Raiders quarterback Bengals quarterback Trying to think if you play for anybody else too because us us Ravens fans We know him and we definitely respect that dude because he gave us plenty of Heart attacks in his career with the Bengals, but I think that's it So bingles Raiders Cardinals am I missing anybody? I'm missing anybody. I'm not sure if I am or not but either way the Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer. He is Retiring. Oh, was that 2k Dwight boy? Was that you that commented on a madden video saying that? But yeah, I think it was about that time to switch. I agree Hey, it's all good, Michael. It's all good. What's up? But yeah, he he officially retired So I'm happy for him. I'm happy for me. You know why not because he didn't get a Super Bowl but Because he goes out the game kind of on his own terms. Would he have remained the starter if he would have came back? I think so but he definitely He goes out on his own he goes out on his own terms plus. What's up one? Plus I was reading something today to that said in Carson Palmer's career In Carson Palmer's career. He has made over 172 million dollars So I think he's set. I think he'll be I Think he'll be I Think he'll be okay but anyway So when I think about it and again, this is not gonna be long But when I was thinking about it, I'm like man Carson Palmer's retiring I Had their head coach Bruce Arians. He resigned And Carson Palmer, yeah, like somebody just mentioned a little while ago, he said he won't eat the EBT car But like somebody said a little while ago injuries did definitely derail his career Especially in Arizona because this team look promising. They look very promising But he just he keeps getting hurt. He kept getting hurt kept getting hurt. Appreciate it. I shan'tir Barnes. Thank you He kept getting hurt kept getting hurt So, yeah, that was the next question switcher since Carson Palmer's leaving their best quarterback who's on that team Bruce Arians is leaving their head coach who's been on that team for like what four five no, not four five years Like three four years, right? It's been a little while. I forgot exactly how long but it's been a while Larry Fitzgerald is still there Larry Fitzgerald is still there What does Larry Fitz do? Yes, I'm a Ravens fan JJ. What does Larry Fitz do? What does Larry Fitz do now does he stick it out with this team and Still try to continue with them because it's time to look for a quarterback in the draft. It's time. It's time I mean, it should have been time already, but it's it's time now is the better time than ever. It is time It is time Larry Fitzgerald still one of the better wide receivers in the game He still makes every catch in the world. He still never drops anything in the world It's it's time if he is going to Continue to play they need I appreciate that Alex. Thank you. We did just recently hit it eight thousand subscribers. Thank you If he is going to continue to play then he's gonna he's gonna need a good QB to play with That is it's time for them. It's time for them to find a quarterback now It is time Browns get the first and fourth pick geez goodness gracious, but um right now because You're gonna be getting a new head coach and then they need to hurry up and get another head coach But they're gonna be getting a new head coach so that new head coach is gonna come in and be able to draft the quarterback Who he wants to draft So it's gonna be a QB that probably fits that coach's system Somebody that he likes I think he did that he thinks can get the job done and it's time It's time So I'm excited to see what these car knows do I'm excited to see what they do in the draft and free agency And I'm very excited to see what they do with Larry Fitzgerald Because what are you gonna do with him? Because the car knows if they draft the quarterback there I can't say they're obviously gonna be out of the Super Bowl contention But I don't think they're gonna be thinking that they can they can compete for a Super Bowl I mean anything can happen though, but I'm interested to see what they do with Larry Fitz after this After this what are they gonna do with him next? So it's gonna be interesting gonna be interesting. Yes in great I mean yes, Nate native your team has definitely been very good this year. So shout out to your vikings, man Yeah, case Keenan been doing this thing Yes, Larry Fitzgerald doesn't have any time to waste a case shade actually said as for Larry Fitz I feel he should retire. There's just no need for him to stay on the rebuilding team That could be an option too.  I'm just gonna go ahead and retire and football. So we'll see We'll see we'll see we'll see we'll see but um, yes, exactly blue bro He said I think they're a pretty good receiver expected to be on the second round six five and pretty good hands We're kind of slow, but that's Larry Fitz right now His hands are definitely there his hands are definitely there got some of the best hands in the game But now he's gonna be in on a read on a team that's rebuilding So does that team continue to rebuild and keep Larry Fitz or do they rebuild and ship him off?  So anyway, let me know how y'all
