We now invite the United States Senior Defense Official and Defense ATHA Commander Lane to deliver the opening address. Bula, and good morning. I'm honored to be here today and thrilled to offer our thanks to our host, the Republic of Fiji Military Forces. In attendance today, Land Forces Chief of Staff Officer, Lieutenant Colonel Ben Naliva, Commanding Officer, Third Battalion Fiji Infantry Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Bill Dronibaca, who, by the way, just returned from the US Army War College, Lieutenant Colonel Varebasanga, the Chief of Staff, from Joint Task Force Command. I would further like to welcome US 25th Infantry Division Deputy Commander for interoperability, Colonel Michael Van Whaley, my dear friends from the DA Corps in Fiji, Australian Defense Advisor to Fiji, Colonel Cain Wright, New Zealand Defense Advisor to Fiji, Commander Sarah Bamfield, UK Defense Advisor to Fiji, Wing Commander Andy Bryant, and all the soldiers from participating units and nations. It is simply wonderful to see you all here gathered as we kick off Cartwheel 22. And what a way to start the day with Fiji winning the World Cup this morning. The name of this exercise finds its origin in Operation Cartwheel, a major military operation for the Allies in the Pacific during World War II. In Operation Cartwheel, forces from the United States, New Zealand, Australia, and Fiji, joined by other Pacific Island nations, fought side by side to neutralize the Japanese base at Rubble Papa New Guinea. Fiji itself served as a logistics hub for the operation and was a hive of activity in the lead-up to the operation. US and New Zealand soldiers were stationed here in Nandi and Suva while the Allies rehearsed amphibious landings on Coro Island on the eastern side of Fiji. Ultimately, Operation Cartwheel and the entire Allied war effort was successful in securing peace and freedom throughout the Pacific. Today, 79 years later, in the same spirit of multilateralism, so central to the success of the Allied campaign during World War II, we gather once again to work shoulder to shoulder as we initiate this land component exercise, which includes over 270 participants from five nations. As a multilateral event, exercise Cartwheel aims to enhance readiness, build mill to mill relationships, and improve interoperability across all participating forces. Such are the important endeavors of free and democratic nations as we seek to maintain international norms and respect for rule of law throughout the vast blue Pacific. Thank you all for being here. And for the work it has taken to get to this point. Coordinating logistics, deployments, and in lines of intent across five separate nations is no simple feat, and I congratulate you on your successes. We face challenges in planning, and we will face more before the closing ceremony. However, I have great confidence that our collective determination and perseverance while remaining positive will allow us to be successful and achieve our goals. Furthermore, I encourage you all to take this opportunity to forge lasting friendships with your foreign counterparts. A bond was formed between us in war 79 years ago. Let us continue that with genuine care and concern for each other, learn from each other, and maintain our friendships. This will carry us forward into the future as we work together to maintain peace and security throughout the world. Finally, before we wrap up here today, I would like to welcome U.S. Army attache to Fiji, Lieutenant Colonel JP Smock. JP will read the commendation awarded to 3rd Battalion Fiji Infantry Regiment by Major General Griswold, 14th U.S. Army Corps for Meritorious Service during World War II. This commendation reminds us of our shared heritage as well as the bravery and excellence of 3FIR and the Republic of Fiji military forces. Thanks, sir. To the officers and men of 3rd Battalion Fiji Infantry Regiment, I give this commendation for Meritorious Service in Combat and in support of combat operations during the period 20 March 1944 to 26 July. Arriving on Bogenville during the height of the desperate Japanese attack on the Allied beachhead, your battalion immediately prepared for combat operations and went on its first combat mission within 10 days of its arrival. Shortly thereafter, you were engaged in the pursuit of Japanese forces in the vicinity of Hills 165, 155, 500, and 501. On 14 April, a company of your battalion carried out a bayonet assault against two platoons of Japanese near Hill 280, killing a number of enemy and securing a flank of the Allied positions. From May 30 to 23 June, your battalion conducted reconnaissance actions, sweeping the Empress Augusta Bay Shore from the Tkessie River to the Mooraka Point, destroying many enemy fortifications and capturing six artillery field pieces. The excellent combat spirit, discipline, soldierly bearing, and sportsmanship of every member of the 3rd Battalion has earned for Fijians the highest esteem among the American forces. It is my sincere hope that the fortune of war will again place your battalion under my command. Until that time, I wish the 3rd Battalion Fiji Infantry Regiment, Godspeed, signed GW Rizwal, Major General, United States Army. Thank you, JP. I don't think much else can be said after those inspirational words. I wish you all the very best, and may God bless us with a safe and successful exercise. Thank you, ladies and gents. The platoon leaders and the platoon sergeants are to remain behind so that they can see the timetable of activities that's happening today until the end of the week. The rest of you, please, will meet you at the shed just outside the gym by 1100, where we will have the traditional welcome ceremony of the cover. Thank you. We'll also celebrate Fiji's win.


The United Nations Human Rights Council has narrowly agreed to end the mandate of its independent investigators, who have found that all sides in Yemen's conflict have committed acts that may amount to war crimes. Officials say the Stingen, the feat of a Western resolution brought by a small group of countries led by Netherlands, marked the false time that any resolution was wholly rejected in the firm's 15-year history. Since it was supplemented by renewing the mandate of the group of eminent experts, the only international, impartial and independent body reporting on rights violations and abuses in Yemen. Failing to renew the mandate when it is still urgently needed would be a stain on the credibility of its council and a slap in the face to victims. Rather than bowing to pressure by any party to the conflict seeking to evade scrutiny for its own abuses, HSE members should stand with the people of Yemen by renewing the expert mandate at this critical time. The UN's only international, independent and impartial mechanism working to monitor all human rights violations and abuses perpetrated by all parties to the conflict in Yemen. It does so with integrity and impartiality. Its reporting is a lifeline between the people of Yemen and this council. This is why we are calling again for the renewal of its mandate and urge all council members to support this initiative. Yemen cannot wait.


Hi there, Sandy Olnok, artist and paper crafter here on YouTube and I'm going to share some playtime that I had recently with my Distress crayons. A lot of folks I think have forgotten how to play so I'm going to show you how I do. I got out the Patchwork stamp set from Tim Holtz and the tiles and mosaics, these are both backgrounds, and my Misty and started stamping on some Kansan XL watercolor paper. It's the really inexpensive stuff so it's just for playtime and if it comes out great I'll use it on a card if not it's just paper. So I'm stamping them with the Misty but I'm taking out the pad you'll see inside because with the Misty you want to make sure that you're not fighting the pressure of it. If you have too much height in there then you're not going to get a good stamped impression and I'm still only going to get a somewhat good stamped impression because I am stamping challenged I've said that before but for this experiment for this playtime these worked just great. I'm just applying lots of good pressure right on the stamp itself to get as good an image as I can and then removed my little tape that I held it in with since I can't use the magnets and then I wanted to show you how I clean the stamps because they're so detailed it's really hard sometimes to get all that ink out of all the nooks and crannies but this ultra clean and a little rag just a little terry cloth washcloth works perfectly you can get these rags in the auto supply section of the store really cheap. Now the other stamp set I decided I'm going to emboss so I've stamped them with VersaMark which is a clear ink that's kind of sticky so I can add on embossing powder so I'm going to use some gold and silver wow embossing powder on these other two pieces on the other two stamp sets that I'm going to use I can set this aside once it's got the powder on it and stamp the other one so I get the heat gun out and get it heated up all at once and as long as it's just sitting there it's you can wait for a while before you start heat setting it and so now I'll get the silver one all on there and get it covered and then I can put both of my embossing cutters back into their containers and reuse the excess and next heat it up this is my Wagner heat gun and it works great to zap them and just watching the embossing powder melt it's just so much fun so I've got this the gold one done now the silver one you can see my stamping is not perfect and since this was playtime I wasn't worried about it if the pieces came out great super if they didn't that's okay too I've taped them down to a piece of hard board now these are the ones that are not embossed with just the ranger jet black archival ink and I just started putting colors into various hexagons on the small one I decided to do the cool colors on one and the warm colors on the other so I'll use the blue the green and the purple on the left and the the red the yellow and the orange on the right and they are named with the distressed colors if you want to see all the colors available in the distressed crayons there is a chart on my blog so you can see all of those and decide which one of the sets you might want to pick up and try but then I'm using a baby wipe to move the color around with the distressed crayons and I'll link you to some videos at the end with lots more testing on the distressed crayons they move when you deliberately move them if you just leave it sitting there you can't spray it and make the water move everything you have to actually move it with a brush or your finger or something so I'm moving it with the baby wipe which is adding some moisture as if you were using a brush but it's using my finger so I'm getting a little more pressure and then once it's on there it's kind of set a little bit so wiping across it if you if you did that on distressed inked color it would totally mush but on this I could just wipe across it and lighten all that color real quickly and the color generally stays put but let me use my cool color or my cool color somebody's my warm colors over here on the other side and just randomly put some in there and I'm scribbling see like this is playtime and I was not going to get all crazy about it because if this didn't work if my techniques weren't making me happy it can just go in the circular file but if it comes out great then super I'm just moving the color around again with the little baby wipe and if you want to keep the colors pure then just change the spot for your baby wipes you keep your yellows yellow that sort of thing by doing that and just keep moving it around and then when you're done just quick wipe over the whole thing and it will get kind of some smoothness going to all of it and lighten up some of that color here's the ones that were embossed and I decided to try something a little different with them the first I was going to make a very regular pattern in here and then went yeah I don't feel like it this is playtime let's not get anal retentive about it so I just started putting some colors in there and I started thinking what what if I made them look like they were just kind of all mushing into each other behind that embossing that would be kind of fun when the distress crayons are still not fully dry before they've sat on there very long you can wish them with your finger a little bit but I thought well let me try the the baby wipe again and move the color around that way and see if I can really get them to blend and they do blend but the baby wipe does pick up color so it lifts color while it's actually moving it around and that's something I decided that I could play with so first I'm gonna just get all of the color mushed around entirely first and doing that with the baby wipe and you can see it's doing a fairly good job there's a few spots where it's not blended entirely but I wanted to go back and rework some of that anyway because it was lightening the color significantly and I wanted more color on this I wanted more intense color so on top of this damp distress crayon I'm coloring some more crayon colors and just adding more of the same so that I can get richer color and this time I'm just moving them with my finger because since there's a little moisture on the paper just slightly these are going to move and blend with my finger better this time because there's some moisture there that just has to be a small small amount and I was like oh now this is interesting that once there is some moisture so I needed to figure out a way to get just a little bit of moisture onto the paper and not a ton because a brand new wet baby wipe lifts up so much color but this actually kept the color on there and then I took a Kleenex and I dabbed it onto the wet baby wipe so that the Kleenex was just barely damp and that I could go very lightly across the surface and bring back the shine of the embossing powder so you can see how it sort of polishes it so I'm just using very very light pressure very very light don't push really hard or you're going to lift up color from inside all of those areas where you've just put all that beautiful color and this will allow the shine to come through as well as having rich color underneath and you could emboss probably over this over top of it if you wanted later however you'd have to make sure you wait until it was really dry because that distressed crayon would hold that embossing powder I think it would stick to it so be careful if you do that make sure you let it dry really really good before you do any stamping on top if you wanted to do embossing so this time I'm using my already learned learnings and I'm dampening my finger on the baby wipe so this time I didn't use the baby wipe underneath I'm just touching my finger to the the baby wipe just to add that moisture I wanted some more distinct blobs of color because it's sort of all mushed together with my finger so I'm just going to add a few sections of a couple of the different colors I wanted more the yellow and more the pink and then just started mushing them around and making sure that my finger was only containing the colors that I wanted to mush so I didn't turn it all back into one shade again and then did the same trick with the very very very lightly wet Kleenex and literally don't spray it just touch it to some water touch it to the baby wipe and that's enough to bring out the shine on the surface of the paper on that embossing powder so that was pretty cool to learn all of this about how I can play around with these distress crayons I cut my panels into rectangles that fit onto my cards so they're already and I just needed sentiments so I've taken some scrap pieces of black card stock and I'm prepping them with the ink and dinkadoo powder tool which I like better than the ek1 that I showed you before seems to put out more powder and be more protective of the paper then I stamped in VersaMark ink some stamps from clearly besotted and I wanted to do ombre embossing so I played around with how this would work and doing it the gold first on both of them I'll do one horizontal and one vertical and I had a couple pieces of scratch paper to catch the excess I set that one aside real quick so I could get the silver done you could do this in multiple colors you could do a whole rainbow of embossing if you just get yourself set up right and plan it ahead of time because then I can just add the second color to it and heat it up and ready to go and then just return all those excess bits of scrap embossing powder to their containers this is a great way to have a lot of fun with your sentiments now the hexes on the left on the patchwork background I did add some glossy accents too so I'd have some extra shimmer but I think this came out beautifully there's a couple of my other practice pieces they aren't the most gorgeous things that I've created but they were good enough that I thought putting them on a card with a nice sentiment would still work so don't throw away all your practice ones unless they're really awful but experiment with different colors of embossing powder different ways of applying the medium and see what happens so I encourage you to try on the left is a video that I did comparing different crayon mediums in the center is a distressed crayon piece of art that I did and on the right is an inky technique for making that starburst that I thought you might be interested in if you like getting your fingers dirty and using things like ink and crayons you can hit the subscribe button if you'd like to get more videos from me I could add about three a week and the supplies are all listed in the doobly see you guys next time

Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. I'm gonna talk about the potential market crash that is already starting with the weekend league sell-off and just the game of FIFA 21 right now not being very hyped because of icon swaps being less than desirable and just not a lot of content actually going on in the game. That concerns the market, right? There's a lot of objectives, a lot of gameplay that people are grinding, but that in turn, I think, is gonna affect the market negatively this weekend. You're already starting to see a lot of the weekend league sell-off and I wanna get this video out early to you guys so that you can be prepared and know what to look for when stuff is dropping today on Saturday and tomorrow on Sunday. Now this is kind of an early upload. I'm uploading this before the actual content drop on Saturday today. There won't be a normal time upload tonight. This is kind of replacing that. I've got some plans, I'll be safe. Don't worry, we've got all our bases covered, but I do have a couple plans today so I will not release the normal video later tonight. Just wanted to keep you guys in the loop. But that's why I'm making this video now because I think you're gonna see prices continue to drop over the rest of this weekend in a lot of areas of the market. But one thing, first before we get into that is this little issue with UCL Brand. If you guys were not aware, last night EA upgraded the wrong version of Julian Brand when they were supposed to upgrade his road to the final. They upgraded his UCL Rare card. So now there are basically two road to the final versions of Brandt because when they upgraded his UCL Rare card to an 88, that item turned into a road to the final and is now on the market as well. So if you were able to snipe those Brandts last night like 18K was his price cap, you can now sell him for 149,000 coins, which is crazy. And it just goes to show that when there are mess ups like this, right, nine times out of 10 when EA messes something up, if you are on the game, you can usually take advantage of that right in the moment when it happens or like when they release the wrong red picks, if you open yours right away, sometimes you'll get a second set or usually you get a second set kind of compensating you per se for those red picks. So Julian Brandt's who I wanna show you right now, this is his item, right? The two items that we have here, one of them has no dynamic image and is 88 rated. That is the card that was mistakenly upgraded. And the other one has the actual dynamic image. So there's basically two different cards that are gonna act in the same way. The reason why this Brandt is gonna be very interesting to watch is because he now has a lot more supply because all these UCL rares that were added to the market or mistakenly upgraded last night have now become live road to the final items. And it's actually dropped his price a little bit compared to where I think he could have gone if he would have gotten the upgrade and they would not have mistakenly upgraded the wrong one. So I wanted to kind of clear that up first and talk about that. But road to the final cards are where we are gonna focus a lot of our conversation today. Because again, let's set the stage for why is there gonna be big drop offs in price and why is that already starting with some cards this weekend? And well, first things first, everybody's grinding objectives. Like there's really, when it concerns the market or even SBCs. Now we might have a Tony Cruz SBC today, Flashback, I'm not expecting EA to make that a crazily well priced SBC. And even for that, people are investing in SBC fodder. They're trying to see if they can invest and make a profit on that. I don't expect that SBC to be that crazy of value. We'll see what happens. I don't think it's gonna affect the market that much. And in all honesty, the only really way that I see this market going right now with the way the game is headed and where we are at in this stage of the year is down this weekend. So right now, all it has to do is either you're grinding weak and lead for the weak and lead plus or you're grinding one of these future star players for objectives or you are grinding the icon swaps, right? Icon swap tokens are out. That's probably the main focus for a lot of people grinding their first nine icon swap tokens. So a lot of that doesn't really concern the market. And if people are not happy with the game in general, you are going to see prices start to drop off. Now, let's check a couple of gold cards really fast. Killing them, Boppe, how much is he? These are cards that again, I think these guys have sort of reached their peak, so to say, post team of the year. Like in Boppe, almost made it back up to a million coins. He's 950 right now. Neymar has made it back up to, I think, 700 and like 80K or something like that. Could be a little bit wrong there. I think that's pretty close though. 750, 760 for him. Honestly, I see these guys dropping off a fair amount this weekend. I see a lot of gold cards continuing to drop off because as this market heads downwards, I do think that is just all that supply is gonna start catching up with them. And people maybe are gonna be looking to rock more intradable teams with the new objective cards and maybe stuff they get from icon swaps. So that's one thing to watch out for. But again, the main thing I want you guys to be in tune with as we head out of the weekend, leave this weekend, and the biggest thing on this market right now are road to the final cards. Because this is gonna be an area where people and other investors in this game are gonna look to invest very quickly. After the weekend league is over and as we get into this week. Now, cards that just got upgraded, most of them have risen, right? You've got Wyaldum, who was like 615, 620K on PlayStation. He is now up to like 660,000 coins, right? A nice rise there. You have other cards like this 86 Akanji, who got a plus two rating. He is now extinct at 410K because he got a plus two from 300K up to 410 on the PlayStation. But you already have other road to the final cards starting to rise up as they play this week. Now, this is why I'm telling you this right now. Definitely watch these cards prices as we head into the games. And for most of these, I still think they can go higher because this is kind of the only place on the market where people are gonna be looking to invest this week because this is kind of what's going on. So yes, I really like looking at road to the finals. And specifically, I like looking at those cards that are a part of a team that lost or drew in the first leg of their games, right? We got this Lorenzo Insigne, right? Who was down to like 11215,000 coins that is absolutely lowest. This guy was over 200K before the game last week. Now, Napoli have a lot of injuries. They're down two nil to Granada, but they're coming back home. You could see a comeback, right? And what I think is gonna happen is since there's not a lot to do in the game, people are gonna start buying these cards up. So if you get in early, I can see this Insigne very easily rising back to 150,000 coins because you have to remember, these cards are still live and they're very fricking rare. These cards are really, really rare. Now, I know the market's glitched right there. It's not showing me all the listings, but these RTTF cards are very rare and it would not be out of the question for them to rise 20, 30, 40,000 coins on a card like Insigne into the week this week. So that's kind of scenario number one I want you to look out for. Who would be in that scenario, right? Cards like Insigne, Rebic, both Napoli and Milan play on Thursday and Napoli is down 2-0, but they're coming back home, right? I would expect them to at least put up a fight and you'd probably be able to profit on that. Even if you buy this weekend, you're gonna see those cards most likely rise into the game time later this week. Also Milan, and I can't even pronounce that, but they're drawing 2-2 and they're coming back home. I really, really like Milan. I like Kessie a lot as well because Rebic is up like 10,000 coins from where he was, but I'm a big fan of this Kessie item because he was over 750,000 coins during that game. I think Milan scored first. Definitely keep an eye on this card. Actually, never mind, he is up. Fuppin chose him as 640. If you can snag this Kessie card in like the 630 to 640 range in the PlayStation, that's a really, really good price because he was down to 620 at his lowest, but I think this card goes back up to 700,000 coins by the game time later this week. Now if you wanna talk Champions League cards as well, you could look at a guy like Klosterman who is actually down a little bit right now. I think some people might be selling their Klosterman because of the fact that Akonji got upgraded. He was just 450K, so he's still about 450,460. Keep an eye on this guy because again, this is one of the best Bundesliga centerbacks. He's still very meta, very OP in this game, and they're down 2-0 to Liverpool, right? They're down 2-0, but this obviously could be a card that even still they're losing. This could still rise back up as we head towards that game just as we get that general hype of the road to the finals kind of going in there. I wish the Uventus road to the final card because right of course Uventus right now are down 2-1 to Porto and you would like to think that Ronaldo could bring Uventus back, score some goals in his second leg and get them that upgrade later on this week. So I wish there was a tradable one on the market but there's not unfortunately. Also keep an eye on that Akonji and on that brand. They could even continue to rise further as they could get another upgrade. Hopefully EA update the price range for Akonji. That'd be very, very nice. But of course you're gonna see a lot of the road to the finals from these teams continue to rise or go even higher. If we take a look at Cancelo, 470,000 coins for that card, he is very, very inflated in price right now because you know people really want that card to get upgraded. Of course, maybe there's a bit of like a winter upgrade type you know, stuff going on with that one too. One card that it really hasn't risen up too much is this Kula Bali, right? He's on Napoli. You know, they're down 2-0 but this card is so rare. He was down to 450 at his absolute lowest post game. He's up to 524 but if you see that in the low 500s that's a buy from me. Now I bought three Quincy Promas at 240,000 coins after their game because on Thursday he was 230, he went to 280 where I sold three of them and then he went back down to 240 and he has since risen because people are realizing hey, this guy and IAX are ahead right now and hopefully they go through to the next leg, right? It's the battle between Quincy Promas and Renato Sanchez and I wanna talk about both of those cards right now but this guy's kind of rising back up. He's about to 270. If you would somehow see this back to like 260 or in the 250s, this is honestly in my opinion going 300K. This is going 300K by the time the game comes out on Thursday for these road to the final Europa League cards and even Renato Sanchez, right? Just the overpowered player that he is. People are gonna see that he is very underpriced right now for what he could be with an upgrade. This guy would get a plus two man. How crazy would that be? If this card Renato Sanchez on the PlayStation, if you can get him around a million coins and let me check his price on the Xbox, if you can get him out a million coins or below. Yes, he was down to 900K flat earlier but this card I guarantee you is gonna be 1.1 mil or more as we head into game time later on this week. Xbox, if you could snag this dude at like 700 and, let's see, 700 and let's say 60K. 740 to 750, maybe 760 on the Xbox. If you can get him there, that'd be a great price. And again, if you can get this Renato even yesterday, he was 930K, today he's really been around a million. So try to get him under a million on the PlayStation and like 750 on Xbox. And that for me is a card that you saw how high he went when Leo scored first earlier this week. This guy could literally go to 1.7 and 1.8 mil with that plus two boost. I'm not even kidding. He could go there for a short time frame. So I wanna keep your guys' thoughts and just kind of zoned in on these RTTFs. And as we look at team one, because I haven't looked at these yet, Griezmann's already back up to 300,000 coins. Now, of course, they're not looking good, right? After going down four to one against Paris Saint-Germain, PSG, in the first leg. But this guy's already back up to 300,000 coins. You know, watch a guy like, like a Bomb Yang with Arsenal, they drew, right? And, or in Diddy, they drew as well, no goal scored. Roma, Bruno Perez, they actually won and his card hasn't gone up much. Diabe, he was down to 170, he's up to 190. So definitely take a look at some of these cards that could potentially get upgraded. I like the Europa League cards more because there's more of them and they seem to be a better buy this weekend. The Champions League cards have risen up so much already. I kinda like the Europa League cards a little bit more just for where they're still kind of low. I think there's potential for them to rise. So that's a lot of talk about road to the final cards. Let's take a peek on the rest of the market. As I do mention, a lot of the stuff is going down, right? Another area of the market, if you don't wanna mess around with RTTFs, would be future stars. Future stars, brand new items in FIFA. People are still trying them out. This Anthony card, if Ajax continue to do well, this guy's down to like 620K at the moment. I'm pretty sure he was like 670 at one point this weekend. The road to the final team number two cards, right? Sorry, the future stars team number two. Yeah, this guy was 670 yesterday. These team two cards have risen up very nicely out of pack so far. New house from 135 to 170. Bastoni to 193. Reese James is actually kinda chilling at 400. Ruben Diaz is up like 30K. Jonathan David is up like 30,000 coins. What I would want 100% do in this weekend to sell off is keep an eye on these players, right? Reese James, how high was he yesterday? He was 399 this morning. Yesterday he had a peak of 424. If you saw this at like 380 again, these are out of packs, right? They're still very popular cards, still brand new, a lot of people are using them. Especially somebody like this Bastoni who fills that need of a center back in the Syria. How much was he yesterday? He was 175, he boomed to 190. If you see this in the weekly sell off, down to like 180K, you might see people start to cash out on some of their investments as people invested in these and use them in the weekend league. That will be a buy in my opinion. Now, you don't have to just look at Future Stars Team One or Team Two as a card that could be low out of the week, I think as well. Take a look at some of these cards, right? Pogba, who links to the brand new Fofana, right? He really hasn't gone up too much and there's been a lot of selling as we have got out of this weekend with those links to Fofana. If this is 400K, buy it, right? If ConteInform is dibs below 500,000 coins, buy it, right? You see some of these other Informs, the Griezmann 162, that is low. We're already starting to see a weekend league sell-off on some of these items on the market. 151, that's low. 509 for Bomba, that is low. You are definitely starting to see a weekend league sell-off happen across the market on a lot of these cards that aren't hyped up for an upgrade or hyped up for a Champions League or anything like that. Let's take a look at some freeze cards. Really quick, 162, that is pretty low for hazard. One, two, these are dropping for sure. So yeah, I would definitely on these rare cards as well, a team of the group stage items. Some people still think that these are live. This Tail Hernandez, who gets links galore right now with all the French links and the serial links that are going on at FIFA. This guy, if you see him at like 330K, that's probably a buy because there's a little bit of winter upgrade hype still built in. That's one thing, if we get any hints of winter upgrade actually coming, you can look at some of those cards too. This Sancho was 400,000 coins last night. This Donaruma peaks at 220K. This Vardy you can sell for like 550K. So if you see major drop-offs on these really rare out-of-pack special cards, they're gonna stay rare this week and I think you can 100% look to flip them, to buy them and to trade them. 127 for Kane, that's low, right? So Douglas Costa, 353, that's pretty low as well. I do think that on the really, really rare cards that are meta, you will see a bounce back this weekend or this into the week this week, just because of the weekend like sell-off being pretty extreme. So definitely keep an eye out today for weekendly sell-off on all those areas where they're on meta cards. If, wow, this Kane is really dropping, man, that is low. This guy last night was selling like instantly for 135 and above, that's a big time drop-off. I'm gonna keep an eye on that open bid Kane right there, but it's gonna be a great weekend to trade as well. With these cards dropping off, icons, right? A lot of icons really boomed up this weekend. We take a look at some of these moments that I've been watching price-wise. Even if you're not watching a moments card, just the regular prime icons or middle icons or babies, a lot of those guys are going to fluctuate because there's a lot of people that bought them up on Friday night for their teams. And some of those people are gonna sell off, again, as we do see the market go down. So like I traded a storage card yesterday for a nice profit. If this guy's back down at like 1.45, 1.4 lows, I would expect a bounce back after the panic selling on some of these very popular and meta icons as well. So honestly, it's gonna be a good weekend to pick up on stuff that goes really low just because you have that big drop of the panic selling and then those listings kind of stop into Monday, into Tuesday, into Wednesday, and you'll probably see them bounce back a little bit just because those undercuts aren't happening anymore and the card will actually rise as we have the market just chills out, basically. So that's kind of how I'm feeling about this weekend they sell off. I do think a lot of the drops that you've seen already is we've looked through some of these special cards on the foot bin. A lot of these drops are pretty extreme, right? Pogba 719, that is still very, very, very low. Jimenez is 152, that's really low too. So like as you look through some of these Team of the Week squads, especially the out-of-packs, Inforum 668 for Bruno, he was 700K. So you're seeing a lot of these prices drop. I think that's gonna continue over the rest of today. Inforum's Team of the Years, like I don't think anything is gonna be exempt really from this big drop. So again, watch and see what happens the next day with the content on Saturday. But I do think Road to the Finals will be the first place I would look and then rare out-of-packs special cards that people like to use in their teams or that may be linked to the objective cards that people will be completing like Reney Air, Kukarela, or Fulphana. People are getting those completed this week as well. That's the video for today, boys. If you did enjoy it, smash the thumbs up on it.

A long time ago, I read a quote from somewhere I can't remember where now, but the quote had a lasting effect on me. The quote is, whether you're walking, crawling, jogging, hopping, flying or swimming, just make sure you're making progress. Growing up in a home where we didn't have all we needed taught me this lesson the hard way. Personally, I'm not too fond of sub-stories, but the story goes that I didn't grow up with a silver spoon, yet I enjoyed more privileges than the few kids from middle-class families enjoy. I always had almost everything I wanted and never had to work so hard because my parents blessed their souls, treated me like their favorite. Well, the downside of that is that I grew so dependent on them. I never really learned early to take responsibility for my life. Things didn't change until I got into the university and I felt all alone. Now I was facing life squarely on my own without parents helping. To make it worse, I was studying a course I was clueless about, but too early. I had formed a habit of reading all I could. By this time, I was reading more self-help books and other kinds of books I could get my hands on. It was from reading one of those books that I discovered what I would do with my life. Life would never remain the same for me again. How to change your life daily. You see, our lives can be better if we choose to make it better. Yes, troubles are a part of life, but most times what defines us isn't the troubles we go through, but our attitude towards it. This is a lesson I am still learning to practice. It is a lesson we're sharing with you. Whether you're walking, crawling, jogging, helping, flying, or swimming, just make sure you're making progress. It doesn't matter how bad the day can be. You should be making every effort to make sure you become a better person daily. Recently, I discovered a little trick to help me return to being better daily. As I mentioned, I have always loved to read, but I am married now, and there seem to be countless responsibilities I have to handle daily. In the last few months, I have been too busy to even read a single book through. For those periods, I have always longed to read because I understood the importance of reading to my life, my impact, and my work. Yet, I couldn't find the time to read. Until I discovered I could actually listen to audiobooks. Now, audiobooks have been around for a long time, but I never knew I could enjoy listening to audiobooks as much as I do now. It's been a blessing returning again to learning more from books. In the last few days, I started listening to audiobooks. I can't describe to you how my life has changed. Whether you're walking, crawling, jogging, hopping, flying, or swimming, just make sure you're making progress. Keep changing or keep dying. Change is a natural part of life. A life that stops changing starts dying. It is as simple as that. Anthony Robbins said, By changing nothing, nothing changes. We are as relevant as we are constantly improving. Because the world is constantly improving and times are constantly changing. The person who is at the top today could suddenly switch to being below tomorrow. Years ago, simstresses were making so much money by sewing clothes because there were no sewing machines available. There were millions of simstresses and business was always available. Suddenly, Singer Company launched this first sewing machine and that became a threat to those simstresses. In anger and frustration, they tried to burn down the sewing machine factories, but that attempt didn't last long. Things had changed and if they would make progress, they had to change alongside. Some time ago, I was nearly rejected in my family. I was the only graduate in the family and everyone expected me to get a job and leave a fine life. But I had determined I would become a writer right from the university. And so, as soon as I graduated, I started writing. I was dead broke and still living with my parents at over age 28. My older brother would mug me, saying that I was wasting my time trying to become a writer when I could easily get a job and leave fine. Of course, I was frustrated. I started several blogs that failed. I made so many dumb decisions in the writing business that kept me broke. Things began to pan out slowly, but it was definitely slow. My brother was in the fashion design business and was continually raking in lots of money and sending money to my parents. I had nothing to send to anyone, let alone enough to even feed myself. Now, fast forward years later and coronavirus pandemic, the tables have turned. Suddenly, how the world does business has changed. I had spent most of my years learning from digital companies and to incorporate them into my skills. Now, I do not write this to mug him, but my older brother suddenly finds that people aren't so interested in making quotes anymore because of social distancing and digital strategies in business are taking over the world. Things are not what they used to be. The truth about this matter is this, innovate or die, change or become irrelevant, improve or become useless. If you don't do all you can daily to become a better person, your boss will find a replacement without a single apology to you. Your clients will find someone who is innovative and will push you to the corner. The world will leave you behind while you struggle with old methods. Innovate or die, change or become irrelevant, improve or become useless, become better or grow still. Whether you're walking, crawling, jogging, hopping, flying or swimming, just make sure you're making progress. What you need to do. Once in an interview, Michael Dell of Dell Computers said he will travel the world to get the person who is best at his skill because that way, such a person would require less supervision and will always get the job done to his taste. How would you like to be the go-to person in your field? Marketing guru Seth Guddan wrote a book titled Purple Cow. The book centers on being remarkable, standing out of the crowd. If you want to be seen, recognized and become notably successful in today's world, whether you're walking, crawling, jogging, hopping, flying or swimming, just make sure you're making progress. Do all you can now while you can to improve as much as you can, read books, listen to audio books, take an hour off daily to grow yourself, as Brian Tracy would say, become better at what you do every day, striving to be among the top 10% in your field. The reason is simple. If there are 10% successful people in your field, they do not have two heads, they are not better than you. You can achieve the same. I decided long ago not to be behind, so I discovered that I could learn a new skill each month. I can't boast that I have all the money in the world that I need, but I can safely say I have all it takes to turn some things into money, and that's good for me. Whether you're walking, crawling, jogging, hopping, flying or swimming, just make sure you're making progress. If this video inspired you, subscribe to our channel. We love you.


Hello all, in this presentation we will be discussing about how to prepare a journal article from your thesis which is already completed, so this is your thesis which is already completed, now how to make this thesis to this article, that is what we are going to discuss in this presentation. This entire slide will speak about the presentation, first of all we have to understand whether it is theses or journal article, the imrat stale of scientific reporting is followed, that is we will discuss about the scientific findings with introduction, methodology, results and discussion, in between we have objectives, review of literature and all, so this is followed in both your thesis and in journal article, the difference between a thesis and a journal article is for about 100 to 200 pages in a thesis, but in a journal article we have to condense it to 5 to 15, the audience is going to be very narrow, maybe your colleagues, your university people and so on, but for a journal article there is a wide audience everywhere in this online platforms, so now we have to understand the key differences between thesis and journal article, that is in title, most of the times our thesis title will be slight modification of our objective, but in journal article you can use results and you can show your result as a title, that I will show how in the subsequent slides. Now the review of literature which will occupy more than one third of your thesis document will be compressed into a paragraph in introduction and about a paragraph or so in discussion, that's all, so we have very less space for review of literature in journal article when compared to a thesis which was very elaborate, then in methodology you might have got some 10 to 15 subgettings like study area, sample size, statistical methods, inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, all these have to be converted into paragraph in your journal article, paragraphs, it should be converted into paragraphs probably 2 to 3 paragraphs, now we are moving on to the results, so results we will be focusing on the individual parameter, so we might have spent about 20 to 30 tables or figures for describing the results, but for a journal article it is going to be a 55 to 15 page document, so we have to condense all your results into about 2 to 3 or maximum 5 tables or figures in the results and all your thesis article will be having 100 references approximately will be condensed to about 20 to 30 references in a thesis article, so this entire slide will describe about the process of how you are going to make the journal article from already completed thesis, now let us see about these topics individually that is the title, that we should keep in mind that title is your opportunity to attract the reader's attention, so after reading your title only it should provoke the mind of the readers to read your article completely, so it is just a one line description about the study, we have to use very specific words and apt words for our study and we should think about one more thing that in order to make our title appear in all the search engines we should make certain key terms present in the title, as you have your objective in a thesis as title you can also have your result, so for example in this case moderate alcohol consumption lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes is a finding which can also be a title of the study, so which will make readers to read your complete article, then moving on to the introduction the ultimate purpose of introduction is to create the interest about the topic, you should define about the problem what is the nature and magnitude of the problem, then you should define about this is the review of literature which is getting condensed into about a paragraph, then where you will explain about the current knowledge of the disease and what are all the gaps in the current existing knowledge and you should say in your study you are going to fill in this gap through your objectives, so it will end in the objectives and you will mention or state your hypothesis clearly, so this is the sequence you should create the interest, you should tell about the problem and then what is the current knowledge about the problem, what are all the gaps in that current existing knowledge and what are you going to do to fill in that gap in that knowledge, so that will end up in the need for the study or objectives of the study, so we should be clear with the hypothesis also, so now moving on after mentioning the objectives we should be clear about the materials and methods where we have different checklist available for different or different study designs, you can look at this equatornetwork.org that is enhancing the quality and transparency of health research, so this site contains various tools here, here you can see all random miscontrol trial, observe for random miscontrol trial concert guidelines, observational study strobe guidelines, systematic reviews prisma guidelines, case reports care guidelines, then diagnostic studies start graded lines or tripod guidelines, all these documents are available free, the most advantage of these documents is you can have a checklist approach and you can use these documents and you can check in your document whether the essential things which are required are present or not, so that is about materials and methodology, then in results we should be always focused on the answering our objectives, so there are two ways to represent our data that is the descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, in descriptive statistics you just describe, in inferential statistics you infer something out of that data which is present using the statistical test, so for that you need to know apply the right statistical test, so all these things you should have done in your thesis, now you have to recheck whether for the article it is correct or not, then you explain your figures as a general rule both in thesis and in article it should be self-explanatory, the slide should speak for itself, then don't worry about significance when you get a p-value greater than of 0.05 then you should not think that your game is over and you should try again like that, even p-value when there is no significance that is also a finding, so people can stop doing research in that particular topic and move on to next topic where our significance is there, there is nothing harm in reporting a two factor having no significance and we should always keep in our mind that most dangerous of all falsehood is a slightly distorted truth, so then now in discussion, in discussion we have to interpret the results, why we have got the results then we have to explain biologically why these results we have got in the study, then we have to explain about the possible bias and confounders, then we have to mention about the limitations that is before somebody picking our mistakes, we humbly say that this study was not able to cover these aspects, so this was the limitation of the study, then people appreciate before they finding it out, then in discussion most commonly what we use to do is we just gossip about the finding of the others, we just compare the already existing literature and using this literature we just try to fit in our research into that scientific knowledge pool and we will give some future directions also what in that field of research is needed, when somebody quote your future direction and they make their introduction from your discussion then that will be the best reward you can get out of a scientific article, so then now the references as I said the number will be from 100 to it should be decreased to 25 to 30, usually we will use journals, website, books, we should be aware about the styling of the references, Vancor reference, this is the most commonly used reference in universities, this ICMJE reference is most commonly used by the journals nowadays, if we are using any softwares like Zotiro, N-note or mentally changing over to Vancor and IJCME will not be a major defect, it is just a matter of a single click using that software, in my next presentation you will be seeing how to use this mainly for referencing, you should be aware about the references, then before submitting your article you should be aware of two things, one is the plagiarism, in order to save your time you can copy and paste but what will happen is you will get caught out of plagiarism, plagiarism is kidnapping somebody's idea, in Greek word it means kidnap which means you steal somebody's ideas without their permission, use their own words instead of using your own words or your own ideas, so the penalties include expulsion from the academic institutions, heavy fines and jail time, so not only that the journal will not remove that article which is plagiarist, so later if they found out that the article is plagiarist then they will display this retracted into the same article but it will be available still in that journal, then this is about plagiarism, the second thing which you should be aware is about the English grammar, people who are giving research in English are not having their own mother tongue as English, their language proficiency will be limited, in that case we should understand our weakness and we can nowadays software is available, so you can incorporate that into your word document and you can check for grammar, spelling mistakes, punctuation marks, everything you can check and one important thing is we have to use past tense for your study findings, present tense for the known facts and hypothesis, then there are free check spell checkers available online, so you can do that, you can copy your content here and then you can click on this file, then you can check for both grammarly plagiarism in a single click, for publishing the paper I should make you convince why you have to publish a paper, so here is the answer, first of all you have to exhibit your art, that is after making a wonderful drawing it is a sin to keep just in your table, you have to exhibit to others and get appreciation from others for that you need to publish the paper and make it online, second is to improve your CV, so in research field this is the primary level of achievement, so based on this only we can be eligible to secure research Ghana grants, then finally your quality and quantity of the publications is going to differentiate among the researchers, then now the most important thing is the promotion in the job, so you need two articles, original articles published in indexed journals by MCA criteria to become associate professor and from associate professor to professor also you need two papers, so and moreover it is the beauty of publication is your contribution to science will always remain in that, you just contribute a drop into the ocean of that science and if somebody prove it wrong it will get evaporated, if your science remains there then the ocean will be filled yours by your contribution and you can influence the policy makers and you can be a change maker, then nowadays even university mandate for the PG's to publish e-general, so we need to publish our article, so you need not publish your primary objective and title as the thesis, so before appearing for exams or to be on the safer side you can use your secondary objective and get the paper published, so always remember that the journal needs paper almost as much as the authors need journals, so as much as we need the journals more than that journal needs papers research papers but the editors want their journals to be read and their papers to be cited that is they want to maintain the quality of their products, so they need to reject and revise some papers, here are some of the pro tips if you really want to publish a paper nicely, so first we have to write first then we can edit it later, so something is always better than nothing then we have to tell a story, this will make the flow of the scientific article from the beginning to the end, so what you can do is you can make your relative or your family member sit behind you and you can ask them to hear your research article what you have done, so then you will understand where you are missing in that flow, so that is my second tip, the third tip is ask your colleagues or the experts to review, don't I mean hesitate to ask people colleagues or experts to review, if they give really wonderful review then you can offer authorship, in return later they can also offer authorship that should happen for a better paper, then don't make the data old and relevant, don't keep on data in your own table without getting published, so which makes the data old and irrelevant to scientific world, then request for revision is always a good news, never ever get worried with the revision which appear, it is always a sign of getting published but only after certain revisions and always in research we should understand or pledge, take this pledge that fabrication, falsification or plagiarism in proposing, performing, reporting research results should be avoided, to summarize this is my entire glimpse of the slide, so when you are going to make convert thesis article to a journal article, so you have to understand the fact that Imrad style remains the same for both of this type of scientific reporting, pages will be reduced, audience will be increased in journal article, references will be reduced, results size will be reduced, methodology it was a subgradings here converted into a paragraph, then review of literature which you occupied almost one third of your thesis will be compressed into a few paragraphs, then title I hope this presentation was a useful one, so please give us comments, subscribe to my channel, thank you.


I'm going to discuss about the usefulness of CSL editor when you are using mainly referencing software. I'm going to show here the Vancouver style modification. I have clicked on this search by name. The most popular styles will be available here. I'm clicking on this Vancouver. I'm going to click on this edit. I'm clicking on the create new style based on the Vancouver. So I clicked on this. You want to change the number pattern. It will automatically show the layout, the citation labels. So like this you can change, add editor any new group. So using this macros. After this, what you need to do is go to style, save style, then automatically the link will be appearing here. Copy the link address, then go back to the Word document, citation settings, change citation style, click on add a custom style, then you paste your link, click on the update citation style. Automatically the citation styles has been converted into likewise you can edit the citations and also the bibliography present here.


Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. Today I'm going to be talking about Ubuntu 21.04 Beta. So we're going to take a first look at this thing and see what it's all about. We'll take a look at some of the new features. We'll talk a little bit about a few of the things that are missing. And we'll just take a look and see how it feels. Now, first thing we should say, this is a beta software. It was literally just released today, so we can expect some things not to go right. Hopefully it will at least install. Otherwise, this video will be pointless. But, you know, it's a beta, so we're not going to judge it too harshly. So let's go ahead and jump in, shall we? OK, so I'm here in VirtualBox. I've already got the virtual machine set up. All we've got to do is hit start and see if this will actually go ahead and load. We'll see if we can make a full screen. Ubuntu, we'll see what the load times look like. But usually they're pretty good on Debian based distros like Ubuntu. Probably going to have to scan. Oh, no, usually they do the scan of the disk or the scan of the file or whatever it is. So we're just going to go ahead and install it. We'll run through this process real quick. Make sure the key word is working, which it is. Continue. Normal installation is fine. We're not going to download the updates. We'll do that afterwards. We'll install the third-party stuff, because sometimes you'll get drivers or whatever that you need to continue. Now, this may be the last time we see the ubiquity installer here because they're building a brand new installer made from Flutter. So this may be the last time we actually go through this specific installation process. So erase disk and install Ubuntu, usually the same. Options usually have here. Interestingly enough, they've taken away the warning about ZFS being. Like in the testing phase or whatever. So I wonder if you click this if it tells you, no, we're not going to do ZFS because I'm not sure how that will work in VirtualBox, but maybe someday I'll actually go through and test a different file system other than EXT4, but we'll just leave that the way it is now. And then install now. Continue and. VirtualBox has crapped out. Awesome. OK. Well, we're going to try again. See if we can get out of this, which we cannot. OK. All right. Power off machine. All right. Well, we're going to try that again. Luckily, my key bindings for DWM are still working there. I'm not sure why that does that. Let's go make sure everything's set up right here. Let's go ahead and keep this graphics controller proper like that. We'll make sure that I get the right processor and enough memory. I'm sure I give it enough storage, too. But we're going to go ahead and try again. Here we go.  I'm guessing that this is more of a VirtualBox thing than a problem with Ubuntu beta itself. But we'll see. I've had the problem before. Sometimes when you select that alternate graphics driver, you choose the alternate graphics driver to get full screen, because without choosing it, you get this small screen and then you have to go through and install the guest edition.  I'm going to go and install. And then continue. OK, here we go. Continue, install. Now this is where we crapped out before. Definitely slower than it was. We got farther than we did before, which is good. New York's fine. And I see Ubuntu beta continue. It's installing. So we're going to see if this works or not. Definitely looking like that was that weird graphics driver that was having the problems before. So hopefully we'll be able to at least go through. And I suppose I could just install the guest editions like a normal person. OK, the installation was complete. We go ahead and restart now. We'll see if it actually will restart. It may end up having to go through and exiting out of this and then remove the installation media from virtual box. But we'll see. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it does not. Usually depends on the boot order. Well, it looks like it's going to do it without having to have that removed, which is good. So we'll go ahead and log in here and then we'll see if we can get full screen. The application I bus preferences has closed unexpectedly. So again, beta software, we're going to go ahead and send this because obviously we want to make sure that they can fix these bugs. Let's see if extrander will extrander dash S 1920 by 1080. No, that didn't work out. OK, so we're going to have to install the virtual box guest editions, which in order to do that, we're going to have to get a full screen F devices, insert guest edition CD images, run, get a little tutorial on how to install guest editions. It's not that hard. It's just something that you don't ever want to do because if you don't have to do it, why do it? So that was quick and easy. So now we should be able to open up a terminal and do extrander. Still not available. Did I mistype it or something? No. OK, maybe I have to shut this down to start back up. We'll give it a try. It's long since I've had to use guest editions. Give it a nice restart. There we go. Full screen. Awesome. OK, cool. So we've got the traditional welcome screen here. So we're going to skip this and we'll say, yes, you can send my information because I'm not going to be here for that long location. Services can remain off. I don't need any of the software. And we'll just hit done. OK, so what's new in Ubuntu 2104? What's new Ubuntu? Hey, that's funny. All right, so the first thing we should notice is that, well, see, according to OMG Ubuntu, we're supposed to be getting dark theme by default. But that's apparently not system-wide. That's apparently just up here. Yeah, I'm not getting dark theme by default. So maybe that's something that's still being worked on. I don't know. Or maybe it's just the shell theme that's going to be dark by default. But wasn't that always dark? I don't know Ubuntu enough to actually say that. But let's go look at the settings. Because appearance here, yeah, it's just marked as standard. This is supposedly what it's supposed to look like by default with 21 out of 4. Why it wasn't that case for me, I don't know. Maybe it's just like it's just something that's still working on. Because according to OMG Ubuntu, here's what they say. From invisible changes to one you can't fail to miss, Ubuntu 21 out of 4 now uses dark theme by default. It's only OK, so it's only for the GNOME shell UI, including the top bar menus. But wasn't that already dark? I don't know. I mean, I feel like it was, but I might be wrong. OK, so this GNOME shell is based on 3.38, which is not the newest. Normally, when you get a new Ubuntu, especially if it's not an LTS release, usually what you're going to get is the latest GNOME shell. But this time, GNOME shell is 3.40, or excuse me, it's GNOME 40. They dropped the 3. And Ubuntu has decided not to do that quite yet because of the radical changes. You can check out my video up in the cards above. I've done a video on GNOME 40, so you can check that out and look at the changes that are coming. But for now, this is just your standard GNOME layout with the bar over here and the usual stuff. If you want to get to the workspaces, they're still over here along the side. I'm not going to go through and look at the memory usage and stuff like that. That's not really fair to do on a beta software. So I won't be doing that. So supposedly, another thing that is new is it supposedly has a better desktop icons extension with full drag and drop supports. So you can go through and actually, so if we can go through and see if we can do this, that probably is not the way it means. Maybe with a file. I actually don't even know because, all right, we'll find ourselves a file. And let's say we want to drag it down this folder here. Yeah, we can put that on the, apparently, that wasn't something you could do before. Now, see, I know GNOME removed this functionality, so this is actually a GNOME extension that allows this to happen. So that seems to be progressing fairly well. It still seems a little clunky. I mean, it's like moving it by tiles. That's a little weird, but I mean, at least it's there. It's something that I would never use. I would probably disable that completely because I do not need icons on my desktop, but I mean, I understand a lot of people do that. So at least it is there and it's getting better. So that's the one thing. So a lot of the rest of the improvements appear to be with an updated software. So that's something that you would see quite often with a new Ubuntu. You're gonna get the most recent versions of software. So with Firefox, well, I can never remember where this is. It's always under help, that's right. So with Firefox, we're up to version 87.0, which is, I think that's the most recent version. Let me, I actually can't tell. I was gonna go look at my version of Firefox to tell, but I have things all messed up in my Firefox. I can't actually get to this thing here. I've just disabled it, so that's sad for me, I suppose. We can close that. We also get Thunderbird 78. That's gonna take forever to load and close that. And I'm not even gonna bother trying to find the about thing in Ubuntu or in Thunderbird. We'll just assume that OMG Ubuntu is right, that this is the most recent version of Thunderbird. I'm just gonna put this out there right now. The dark theme for Yaru, good looking, man. This is a good looking theme. I really do like it. I'm gonna actually steal it from my GTK themes, because this is really nice looking. Now, I gotta remember, I didn't spend a lot of time with the last Ubuntu, which is, I think, I think it was the last major Ubuntu. Maybe it was last year's, took 2004, where they switched to Yaru for their first time. Maybe it was even two years ago. I don't even know. Time flies, so we can close this. And the other thing that was major is the LibreOffice moved to version 7.1. I'll also say they do a very good job of making LibreOffice look very good, because a lot of times with the themes for LibreOffice, they only follow the GTK themes, kind of. So sometimes you get the dark background or whatever, and the icons are also dark, and you can't see a damn thing, and it's horrible. Can I? Just, I'm just gonna pause this for just a second and talk about LibreOffice. LibreOffice, I'm begging you, I'm begging the developers, please update your UI, so it doesn't look like it's from the 1990s. This is so old.  Yeah, this is a new way of, that's cool. I didn't know that, so all you have to do is that, bam, it looks like word. And people would be so much happier if it looks like Microsoft Word. Or just go to one of the other layouts. It'd be perfectly fine, you know? I don't understand why they continue to be so attached that dated, you know, look and feel. Anyways, we can just go ahead and close this. I can stop bitching about LibreOffice now. Okay, so we are going to be getting some GNOME 40 apps. So we're going to get the system monitor. So if we look for system monitor, maybe, this is the version 40 of this. If we look at for it about system monitor, we'll see a version 40 of system monitor. So this is something that you wouldn't see in normal 3.38. This is actually something that would come with GNOME 40. So that's really cool. And it's a nice little system monitor, too. I like the graphs and stuff. I don't know what the old system monitor looks like, so I can't really compare it. But for a graphical system monitor, it looks good. Another one is the characters map. I don't know if I'm going to actually be able to find this. Yep, right here. So this is basically going to show you all your emojis and stuff. So that if we look here about characters, it's also version 40. So that's really cool. It's not particularly something that I would use because I wouldn't be living in GNOME anyways how we're using Ubuntu, but I'd have Rofi installed and use Rofi emoji, which is what I do. And the other one is disk usage analyzer. So disk usage analyzer, which is basically, this probably uses like DU or something in order to show you a graphical representation of your file or your file system. That's cool. And I believe if we, there's no menu for this system. So we can't go see and see the version 40, but apparently this is new. That's awesome. So we got a new wallpaper, obviously. A few of the things we're missing are new versions of the software center.  I mean, this is do, do, do, do. It's going to finally pop up and then it's going to think for a while. This won't happen every time you open up software. It's usually only the first time, but it's still, it leaves a lot to be desired. So this is just the old version 3.38 of the GNOME software. It's a snap so you can expect it to be fairly slow. The other one that we didn't get is Nautilus. So this is the old version of Nautilus. So if we look here about files, this is 3.38.2 stable. And the reason why they wouldn't update this to 40 is because Nautilus, the way GNOME does GNOME, Nautilus and GNOME are so completely tied together, or at least that's the way it used to be, that you really couldn't separate and put in Nautilus 40 and leave the rest of GNOME as 3.38, really wouldn't work. And apparently the to-do app is also the old version. Now why this one here couldn't be GNOME 40? I don't know. And you can even, okay, it's really weird that some GNOME apps have an about page and some of them don't. It's really weird. Anyways, so basically that is all the new stuff. Now you gotta remember with 21.04, we're not really looking at anything that is like huge in terms of user-facing features. Most of the stuff that's new is under the hood. So by default, 21.04 uses Wayland. Now, whether or not that that's the case here, I'm not actually sure. Let's log out and see if we can find out. I'm not actually sure. So if we, yeah, we're actually using Wayland. Now I see, that's the way it really should work is that you shouldn't even notice you're using Wayland. So, yeah, our icons didn't show up there. That's okay though. Again, this is beta software, stuff's gonna go wrong. But apparently Wayland is definitely ready for usage. Now, otherwise Ubuntu probably wouldn't have made this choice. Here's the icons. They decided to show up eventually. So, I mean, I say that they wouldn't have made this choice for Wayland if it wasn't ready, but they have done it before. So in Ubuntu 17.10, they used Wayland by default and they ended up going back to Xorg in the next release. So that's the thing. We'll see if Wayland really is ready for prime time, if it's around in 21.10 and the next LTS too. So apparently also this new Ubuntu has better support for AMD hardware running on Wayland and it uses the 5.11 kernel. So we can actually take a look at that.  There we go. So we got Ubuntu beta using 5.11 generic. So this is the, I think that's pretty much the most recent version of the kernel. There might be like one or two dot releases beyond that, but this is definitely very, very recent. So you're definitely not using anything that's super old like if you were using Debian stable or something. So that's, you know, that's nice to know. So that's the first look at Ubuntu 21.04 beta. Now, like I said, it is beta software. So you could see that there's some things that are not quite there yet, but they still have a month to go through and get through some of those issues. And they're doing a beta testing week. I think it starts now, but where they're encouraging you to go through and install the beta, test it on real hardware and in virtual machines like I just did, and then report bugs. So if you're running it on like a spare laptop or something or in a virtual machine, keep it installed once you've tested it and then reported the bugs, that way you can go through and if somebody contacts you and say, hey, you wanna know can you help us reproduce this, you can. Don't just, you can pave after you see a bug and then you would be no help at all at that point. I think probably what we'll see is that this Sabuntu may be a little bit bugger when it comes out than normal. This is just a guess off the top of my head. And the reason why I say that is because of Wayland, this is their first, I mean, their first real try. I think everybody knew back at 17.10 that Wayland wasn't gonna be by default. I think they just wanted to try it and maybe expose more people to Wayland to get some bug reports generated. This time, they seem like they're actually making a real go at Wayland. So I have a feeling we're probably going to see a few more bugs relating to Wayland than what we'd see if we were still on X-Word. But like I said, that's just off the top of my head. The rest of Ubuntu will probably stay just as stable as it always is, so which is good. Ubuntu is meant to be stable. You don't want to have to go through and have things crash all the time when you're meant to be using your computer. So that's the thing. Anyways, thanks for watching.

Hi there, my name is Kristina Neal and today we're going to talk about using Nearpod for student engagement. Nearpod is an online learning platform where you can create content that is very engaging for your students, whether you are teaching virtually or face-to-face in the regular classroom. To get started with Nearpod, you will first need to create an account at nearpod.com. Use your Gmail username and password to get all the features. You can then choose to add Nearpod on as an add-on in Google Slides. You will begin a new Google Slide presentation and then go to File, go to Page Setup, and change it to a standard 4 to 3 ratio. Many of the slides in Nearpod use that standard 4 to 3 ratio, so it just makes things transfer over a little neater and look a little nicer. Once you do that, you will choose your background for your slides. I've already done that, and then you're going to click Add-ons, and then you're going to choose Nearpod. As you can see, a new dialog box opens over to the right for Nearpod, and this will house all of the tools that you can use when you're creating your slides for your students. The next thing I'm going to do is insert a new slide, and you can choose to make this strictly an informational slide like you would just create for your students as part of your presentation, or you can choose to use a tool. If you look as I scroll down, these are all of the tools that you have available to you. I think I would like to start my lesson off with an open-ended question. So to do that, I'm just going to click Open Ended Question. This will open a new box, and now I will be able to type in this box my question for my students. As you can see, I could change my text. You can even add timers, meet multimedia, or you can even enable student audio recordings by toggling this button on, and that way it meets the needs of all of your students. When you're finished, click Save. This will now save it into your Google Slides. It takes it just a minute to load each time. Keep in mind this will create a blank slide in between each of your slides, so you can choose to delete it and then insert a new slide, or you can just simply pull it down past the slide you just did. As you can see, there are many other things that you can choose from. If you wanted to insert a video about main idea for your students, then you would simply click Video, and this will open up a new window as well. And as you can see, you'll have access to the Nearpod video library. You could choose to put in YouTube videos, your own videos, or even upload a video. I'm just going to use Nearpod. Main idea. And here's a Nearpod original video if I've already previewed it, or even if you haven't, you can select it and you can preview it right here. You can even trim the video, so if there are certain parts that you want your students to see and not others, because those parts get straight to the point, you can do that. When you're finished, click Save. And now you have an embedded video within your slides. The next thing you're going to do once again is either click Insert, or you can simply pull your slide down to the next one. Another tool that I really enjoy using with my students is the tool called Draw It. So when I want my students to be able to express or draw and write what they are thinking about a topic, that is when I would like to use that. Again, you can add timers or multimedia instructions or videos. And I'm just going to type in what did you learn about main idea. And so my students would have watched the video. Now they're going to tell me what they learned. You're going to click Save once again. This will now save it into your slide. And then again, don't forget to take out the blank slide if you do not want that slide in your presentation. Now, if you want to go over to Nearpod to see what you have created, you're going to click on this button, Save and Go to Nearpod. This will take you to your Nearpod library where it will begin saving the presentation you just made. But if you look, you can also have access to your school and district libraries, as well as the Nearpod library for lessons that are already created. You can even create yourself folders to keep your items organized. Here is the presentation we just made. You will need to decide if you're going to do this live participation, which means that as the teacher you have control of the slides or student pace, which means that your students would work on this asynchronously. If you need to edit at any time, you can just click this Edit tool. We're going to click Preview so you can see what we just did.  So you can see Main Idea. We're going to use the toggle button to slide over to the next slide. This was our open-ended question that students will read and respond to in this box. You will then see the video that we uploaded. You can play it as the teacher or the students can also push Play and Pause at any time that they want. Here's the Draw It tool. What did you learn about Main Idea? Your students would then be able to use all of these tools at the bottom in order to write and draw their ideas. I'm going to go back to the main menu for Nearpod. If you choose Live Participation, for example, you have control of the slides now. Your students will need to get out their devices. And what they will do is they will go to the app Nearpod or type in join.nearpod.com and they will enter in this learning code. This will take them straight to your lesson. Or if you want to send them a link on either CSaw or Google Classroom, you can do that as well. Or you can even use Google Classroom and upload your items there. So thank you so much. I hope you learned something new about using Nearpod for student engagement. And please be sure to check out our other resources on Facebook and on Twitter.
