Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners, thanks to all of you, including John and Becky Johnston, Chris Benito and Steve Ayerderola. Coming up on DTNS, why meta, taking almost 50% of Horizon World sales, is a good deal. Plastic batteries could help move solar forward and should you fear foundation models for machine learning, we'll ask Scott. This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, April 13th, 2022 in Los Angeles, I'm Tom Merritt. And on the show's producer, Roger Chang. Sarah Lane is having technical issues, she may be joining us shortly, but in the meantime, let's start with a few tech things you should know. Google released its Switch to Android app for iOS Monday. The app helps users transfer contacts, photos, video and other data from an iPhone to an Android phone. It can also migrate photo and video libraries from iCloud and includes instructions on turning off Apple messages so techs properly show up on Android. It does not move the apps though. Google has not announced the new app or link to it from its website as of our recording, but the app is there, so if you have the direct link we'll put in the show notes, you can get to it. Apple has had a move to iOS app for Android since 2015, so now it goes both ways. Razer teamed up with machine learning company Lambda on a laptop called the Tensorbook that runs Lambda software stack on Ubuntu, including PyTorch, TensorFlow, CUDA and more. Lambda sells access to cloud GPUs for machine learning development. The Tensorbook comes with its own RTX 2080 Max-Q starting at $3,499.99 and then 99 cents. Sarah Lane, is that you? It is, it is. And boy do I have some news. Twitter shareholder Mark Bain-Rosella filed a class action suit against Elon Musk, claiming he took too long to disclose his investment in Twitter, allowing Musk to purchase shares at a lower rate than if his ongoing investments had been properly disclosed. The SEC requires investors to file paperwork within 10 days of their stake, reaching 5%. Musk took 21 days to file. The European Union has finally turned its anti-strust lens on Microsoft over some changes it made to its enterprise terms of business. Back in 2019, in October of 2019 specifically, Microsoft changed its terms to require additional fees if you ran products like Office on competing cloud services like AWS or Alibaba, or even on its own Azure service. If it was in the cloud, you paid an extra fee, although Azure customers apparently got a nice stiff discount. The EU will also look at bundling, for example, Microsoft's highest security service is only available to the highest paid customers of Microsoft 365 in a product called E5, which bundles in a bunch of other services as well. Smartwatch maker Polar announced two new watches with GPS aimed at runners, the $199 Pacer and $299 Pacer Pro. Both feature upgraded processors and 5 megabytes rather of RAM, offer up to 35 hours of battery life with GPS on, that's good, battery life, and include Polar's precision prime heart rate monitoring. The pro level adds a barometer to better measure our runner's intensity level and the pro is also available now. The standard Pacer is up for pre-order shipping in May. Alright, let's talk a little more about the metaverse, except it's not the metaverse, but it is for meta. Sarah, what are we talking about here? Okay, so yesterday we mentioned that meta would let select creators sell digital assets on its Horizon Worlds VR platform. CNBC has since confirmed that meta plans to take 47.5% cuts of those sales. That might sound like an odd number to you. It comes from the fact that it's two cuts of each sale, so a 30% hardware platform fee is charged for sales made through the meta quest store. That goes for anything on the quest platform. Then there's an additional 25% fee for things sold through Horizon Worlds. So the quest store leaves you 70% of what you charged, and Horizon Worlds takes 25% of that 70%, which is 17.5% of the original amount, leaving meta taking 47.5% of your sale. The Veksharma, Meta's VP of Horizon told The Verge, we think it's a pretty competitive rate in this market. We believe that other platforms are being able to have their share, believe in. Meta also plans to bring Horizon Worlds to mobile phones later this year and hopes to bring it to game consoles as well, so that's why there are two fees. One for the platform, which someday would include Google Play, Apple's App Store, maybe PlayStation, maybe Xbox. Meta won't get the 30% on those platforms. They'll always get the 25% of whatever's left after the various app stores take their cut first. This has made some NFT fans very angry as they hold examples like OpenSea that takes its own 2.5% cut. However, Horizon Worlds won't include NFTs in this regardless their skins or special items or even VIP access to sections of the world, none of which are actually NFTs. It's more like Roblox than it is OpenSea. So if you want to compare it to Roblox, Roblox takes 30% of if you created an item and sold it in your own experience, meaning it only works in the section of the world that you created. However, Roblox takes 70% if you create an item and then sell it in the Roblox marketplace. But also Roblox does everything within its game currency of Roblox, which can be Roblox rather, which can be cashed out or spent in game. So I guess the question at this point is, is this worse than OpenSea? It's not really NFTs, but maybe it's better than Roblox. What are we all thinking? Well, I mean the comparison to OpenSea, I think is, I'm glad we brought it up because that seems to upset the ire of that segment of people, but I don't think it's comparable. If Meta had said, hey, we're integrating NFT technology into this moving forward, then I can see why this might be important to those folks. But as it stands, I just don't think they're comparable things. They are comparable to Roblox though. And I think in a way comparable to other platforms that let users create content and then make a little scratch on that content via their platform, Steam is not all that different with what they sell in both individual games as well as the workshop that's part of Steam. Hats and certain games are worth a whole lot of money out on the street. And that's generally a 70-30 split. Same thing goes for Apple's App Store. Same thing goes for most of how consoles work and what it costs to use their store to sell your product. Having spent enough time or a lot of time in Horizon Worlds in the last year, I can tell you I think the potential there is actually really great.  And you don't need to double-dip to do it. I think that they could have easily... It's not like these are two different companies. Horizon Worlds, unless they plan to spin that off, is directly a meta product. And right now it's a free product, but if you really want to get the ire of creators up, it's double-dipping on their potential revenue. And that's exactly what they're doing. So if it were me and I were meta, I would reverse this. And I would make it so that you can still be competitive and do your 3070. It's kind of the standard. Everybody does it whether you like it or not, including meta who complains that Apple does it and others do it. But forgetting all of that, if they just did that and didn't double-dip, I think creators might... Well, Roblox double-dips. Roblox charge you 30% for the platform and then an extra 40% if you sell through the marketplace. That's true, but the difference there is... It thinks of it as double-dipping because it's just both called Roblox. Whereas with Horizon Worlds, it's called Quest and Horizon Worlds. And I totally get why meta is doing this because they're like, well, Xbox is going to take 30%. iOS is going to take 30%. Google Play is going to take 30%. So if you're an NFT fan, first of all, this isn't about NFTs. Stop jumping to conclusions. Maybe they'll do this with NFTs, but I'm going to guess they actually won't. So it's not about NFTs. Just to hold your horses till we get to talking about NFTs. If you're complaining about the percentage, then it's like, well, it really is better than Roblox. However, I totally think Scott's right that it would have been in meta's best interest to realize that people aren't going to rationally compare us to Roblox, so we should have probably done it before. Well, and even if they did, Roblox has got this, albeit a little weird distinction, which is if you sell it in our marketplace, we're going to charge you more. If you sell it in the place you built on our platform, we will not charge you the extra money. At least there's a division there. At least there is a way to not get charged both. Exactly. Whereas the meta situation is like, no, if you have to have a quest to play it, at least right now, you have to have a quest to play it.  And to be in our world, you got to sell stuff there and do that. You got to do it twice. Although you don't, in the future, very soon, you won't have to go through the quest store. You could go through the iOS store, but then they're going to take 30% too. Yeah, which is a whole other question I have about that's a non VR space. And they've said before a long time ago that the Horizon Rules was intended to be a virtual space for people, whether or not they had headsets. They started with the headsets, but they're going to make it a 2D screen experience as well, which I am all for and I think that's great. The quicker they get there, the better, because then this won't be as big of a problem. But as long as it's in this VR space and that's the only access, creators aren't going to be motivated to go lose that kind of cash on their time. Hey, Sarah, did we know anything about when to expect headsets? I'm glad you asked, Tom, because The Verge also has an article with anonymous sources familiar with Meta's roadmap about their VR and AR headset plans. There's a pass through VR system that lets you do AR expected later this year. That is one of the rumors. More versions of the Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses that Meta put out are coming, still focused on photos and videos. A cheaper pair of glasses called Hypernova pairs with a smartphone is meant for notifications, not AR really, it's just more of an extension of what you can do with your smartphone. That's expected in 2024. And the first generation of a wearable AR headset codenamed Project Nazare is planned for 2024 as well. Right now, they're a stationary demo, not actually wearable out and about, but you could kind of think of them as like Clark Kent glasses weighing around 100 grams, with eye tracking, custom waveguides, micro LED screens, and also stereo audio. That field of view is probably going to be less than 70 degrees though. The first gen will require a separate wireless phone size control device to be somewhere on your person. Meta is also developing a wrist device that measures EMG, also known as electric pulses in your arm for control. So no motion required, really, just thinking. Meta was building on Google Fuchsia OS but has switched to Android for the first version to speed up developments. Yeah, they're spending a lot of time and a lot of money and Zuck is apparently way into this. I'll be interested to see what it looks like when it actually comes out. Although using EMG to let you do control, apparently they might put that in a watch at some point too. Meta's apparently working on some watches. That could be pretty fascinating. That could be compelling. I want to see what they do. Let's move over to MIT Technology Review. They've done a write up on something called electrically conductive polymer batteries from a company called PolyJewel. This is really interesting. Polymer batteries are essentially made of plastic instead of lithium and lead, which is the most common now. The upside of plastic batteries as they are cheap to make and the materials are easy to get, as you might imagine. Polymers can also charge up quickly and hold their charge for a really long time. They're also efficient, which means they store a good percentage of electricity that you would use to charge them. Plastic also holds handles and handles well the swelling and contracting that can happen in batteries. That's also common. Oh, I opened a controller the other day and it was a mess. We won't get into that. Anyway, it doesn't need active temperature control. Those are the things companies spend a lot of time managing for lithium ion batteries in your phones and devices and things. So you were waiting for the downside, right? Well, here it is. Polymer batteries are huge. They're big. They are two to five times larger than the equivalent lithium ion systems.  So you're not going to see these in your phone, probably not even your car. They're more systems level type stuff. But you know, they might be a good one. Space is not an issue or a consideration like power grid storage, for example. That's a good one. Batteries are a key part of wind and solar power as well. Polyjewel thinks it can get the cost down to about 65 bucks per kilowatt hour of storage. That's a lot. That's a lot. It's a great amount, but polymer batteries last longer and are cheaper to maintain. So Polyjewel hopes industrial customers might go for it. And personally, I hope it just means finally we get some traction on some new battery tech. Maybe these get smaller and someone comes up with a hybrid idea. And before you know it, we're actually, I don't know, getting some movement on batteries has been a while. Yeah. And remember that $65, that's the cost of buying the thing and what storage you're getting. It's not an overtime. It's not like Polyjewel has a service contract. But according to this conversation article, or this technology review article, I'd rather, $20 is about the sweet spot for making it really profitable to build a storage grid. So $65 is pretty far up there, but that's why Polyjewel is like, yeah, but maintenance is a cost over time. And you're not going to have to do as much maintenance with these. So there's some advantages there. It's a fool's errand to predict that any particular battery tech is going to be the one that finally solves something, anything. But this looks promising, right? Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I mean, I think a lot of, myself included, a lot of people kind of forget that something like, I don't know, running a power grid will require various amounts of batteries. And if those batteries can be more efficient, if they can explode less often, and if, sure, it seems to be a little bit of a sticker shock going on right now, but it's something that will last longer and have the need for less, I don't know, swapping out of batteries over time, then this is actually really cool technology. Sure, your smartphone isn't going to get these batteries because it's too big and we're all so used to it being as small and efficient as possible. But if the technology gets to a point where it could be in small consumer devices, then we have another conversation. Yeah. The biggest advantage here is for when the sun's not shining and the wind's not blowing, having that wind and solar power not just get lost because you couldn't use it all when it was blowing and shining. So batteries are the key to that. They're the key to saying like, oh, we can store that up overnight. We can store it when the winds are calm and be able to use it. So that could be the advantage here. Man, if this was even close to $20 per kilowatt hour, I feel like it'd be a slam dunk. They'll get there. Well, folks, what do you want to hear us talk about on the show? One way to let us know is our subreddit. Do you find that cool story out there? Submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. You may have heard recently of Dahl E2, D-A-L-L-E2, the latest version of a machine learning system that can create art just based on you typing a description. Like literally you can type teddy bears shopping for groceries in ancient Egypt and it will generate two photo realistic teddy bears dressed in some kind of canvas wrap carrying a wicker basket. And granted, they look more like they're in a museum exhibit about Egypt rather than in Egypt, but still pretty darn impressive. The Tech John had a good conversation about Dahl E2 on their show this week. If you want to hear that, go to hear it because one of Stephanie Humphrey's questions on that show, we're going to ask Scott Johnson in a second. We talked about the original Dahl E right here. We've also talked about GPT2. You can create written works for you based on a prompt. Tell us a story about Tom Merritt and Sarah Lane. We actually did that with Andrew Mayne on the show. There's also Google's Palm, which outperforms humans in some language and reasoning tests. These are all part of a class called Foundation Models. And as with many things AI, they engender a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Questions like, why do we need that? Is this a good idea? I welcome our AI overlords, stuff like that. Well, Aaron Jay Snoswell and Dan Hunter have a great ride up on the conversation about things you would know about Foundation Models. I highly recommend you read it, but here's the short version. One big difference is that Foundation Models don't train for a specific thing. The algorithm that could make pictures of cats, remember that? It would create, these cats don't exist. There was also these people don't exist. It was trained specifically on cat pictures, the cat one. The human one was trained on pictures of people. But either each one was just trained on one type of thing. Foundation Models are trained on general data for a wider task and sometimes have more capabilities than you might have expected. Dolly 2, for example, was trained to match pictures with captions. That led to it being able to generate pictures from a caption and even able to edit an image based on a written instruction. Take the bears out of the hallway. Google's POM can explain metaphors and jokes, something it wasn't specifically trained to do, but they found it could do it. Foundation Models run on deep neural networks. Those are networks that work the way the human works by strengthening connection. But the models are gargantuan. POM has 540 billion parameters. GPT-3 costs around $5 million to train it up. Yeah, so these companies limit who can access these systems. You can get very limited access to them. But they will eventually get smaller and easier to run. That's just how tech goes. And when that happens, those questions of who owns a work generated by an algorithm, we were talking about that not that long ago. They're going to get very interesting when these things can work at scale and just constantly generate stuff. As will the question of what human creative work remains valuable. Scott, you're an artist. Do you feel threatened by this? Not threatened. I think I said last time we talked about the ones. We had one specific story on the show some many months ago that talked about generating faces for RPG games. Basically, it looked like little oil paintings of here's an archer and here's an axe wielder and here's whatever. And what would that mean to game development specifically? I often think of that example still. Even with this, this actually represents a massive step forward. When it's affordable and available to everyone right now, these are very expensive experiments. But one day some small indie team is going to be like, we're going to make a really cool turn-based RPG. But art for this is outrageous because we have so much story to tell. So many characters to create. So many options to show. So much gear to look at that we don't have the capability to do it. So we're either going to have to go really stylized and kind of cheap looking and everyone will know we're an indie game and they're never going to give us a second look. But if we really want to compete, we got to make this look really nice. And I'm excited for this kind of technology to be that for them. For them to be able to say, we need to make 30 swords stat and an AI is smart enough to make 30 very different looking swords and weapons. And have them go great. These are perfect. Plug them in and we're going. That's huge from a production standpoint and just get the thing done standpoint. I don't think that this actually takes away from artists ability to make art and even make a living with their art. And the reason I think that is sure the people that are cranking out that stuff maybe not so much.   Oh, digital is going to destroy art. Photoshop will destroy artists.  This is going to be like, well, like Lotus 123 was for number crunchers back in the day, even though that turned out different. But in a lot of ways, I think this is similar to that. We're going to find our avenues and this is going to, for some of us will supplement what we're already doing. We're going to find out what our production needs and other things. So I think we're actually going to get more done and get more creative as a result of this. I am not doom and gloom on it. Yeah, I was imagining using this when I'm like making a presentation or putting together, you know, something where I'm like, I need a picture of a dog running through a field. Right now I have to go to Google images, find one that's creative commons. Imagine if I could just tell my desktop thing, like make one for me and I would be able to do that. I would be able to do that. I would be able to do that. I would be able to do that again. It's also great for assistive tech. People who only have their voice to work with could dictate like art and then modify it like, oh, make that green, make this person taller, put a moon and then they're making art, but they're making it with the assistance of the AI. Right. The way you've described it, I think the AI that will come close to that, even if they get technically close, people know it's not Alex Ross and there's a difference there. And I think that will always matter. It's the same with music. It's the same with anything. It's fun to think of AI generated bands and fake, you know, VR music and that sort of thing. I think it's really interesting what's happening in Japan with that, but it doesn't replace the idea that you have Foo Fighters playing this weekend at some club or, you know, those things are still and I think we get a little freaked out for no reason. I often think of it as the comparison of handcrafted furniture versus mass-produced furniture. Mass-produced furniture can be very solid and very look really good, but people still find a value for handcrafted. No, that's a really great way of explaining it. I really do think that in the end we will benefit more than we're not going to, even as artists, and I understand why people get nervous. I get it, but embrace this stuff. I think it's going to define what the next 100 years of art looks like. Give it a big deep learning hug. Well, in the next 100 years, your trip to a major league baseball stadium might seem a little different than it does today. Amazon announced its cashier free technology, Just Walk Out is coming to two stores at Minute Maid Park at where the Houston Astros play. Two stores, 19th Hole and also Market. Their beverage stands, they have food too at the stadium. We'll get Just Walk Out where customers insert their credit cards into the gates, they enter the store, they pick up their items, they leave without having to wait in line for a cashier if you've been to a baseball stadium anytime in your entire life. You know that sometimes these lines can be pretty crappy. Attendance will be on side at the stores. They want to make sure people know what's going on and also customers have to show ID to an attendant if they're buying alcohol. Also a thing that happens at stadiums quite often. Oh, and attendant, got it not attendants like attendants at the park. Oh, yes and attendant, a person. I don't know, could be a dog at some point, but here's for now. Amazon started licensing, it's Just Walk Out technology to third party retailers back in 2020 been kind of interested to see how this is rolling out. It's since been licensed by UK grocery store chain Sainsbury's and is using some report shops further rolling out last year. Some Whole Foods and Starbucks locations started using Just Walk Out and Amazon recently announced within the last week it opened another fresh grocery store in Greater Washington DC that also uses Just Walk Out technology following locations in Moor Park, California Naperville, Illinois Naperville and Seattle, Washington. Yeah, and don't forget back in October we talked about the forum in Los Angeles or actually in Englewood was putting a Just Walk Out test in there. I think there's going to be a line going in. That's how this is going to happen. That's what's going to happen because there's going to be so many people wanting to use this and the convenience of it will be compelling but they'll have to limit the capacity going into it. Yeah, that's a good question of like how many people is too many for the technology to be able to to deal with. But if they have more of these that could help it certainly will speed up the throughput of the store. Yeah, which is to me this is a perfect place to do it.  And that stuff gets pretty clogged. Yeah, all the things. Get a hat. I think places where queue lines queues or lines do get a little out of control pretty easily. I mean, I'm not going to be going to a lot of concerts sporting events. I mean, this is perfect. Now, if it is something that if you're nearby one of these grocery stores that is also using the just walk out technology, awesome. I wish I were. I'm not right now. I'm excited to look into it. But yeah, I think I think Amazon is smart to say, all right, let's let's try this in places where people are in other ways because there's just there's just too much bottlenecking going on. And that's how we get more companies to license our technology. All right, I would say let's check out the mailbag at this point. But we we didn't get a relevant email meant for the show in the past 24 hours. So folks you got thoughts. Don't don't hesitate. I had a couple people over the weekend. I was at Brian Brushwood's Founders Day picnic event say like, you know, sometimes I think about writing the show and then I'm like, nah, like, don't don't hesitate. Said is that email feedback at daily tech news show dot com. So I put this in here. I didn't want to spring it on you, Sarah. So I'll read it. It's a conversation I saw in the Linux channel of our discord about what browser they use just another pilot was like, Hey, what browser is everybody using on Linux these days?  Jerry said Firefox was his daily doobie aga said links if I'm sshed winky face Jerry responded curl if I'm at a Klee whistle added been using Firefox for a while now every once in a while Chrome does something interesting to speed up but Firefox eventually leapfrogs them as time goes by it's all a game and I'm on the freedom slash privacy side and doobie aga said camping Firefox really when it comes to resource management. I loaded up gallium on a Chromebook which came with chromium hands down Firefox is more performant. So the consensus seems to be Firefox for Linux what do you think jump in our discord and let us know. Can I just ask I'm sorry Jerry what is curl on a Klee these are if you're not using Linux it'll take us longer than we have left in the explain understood. Alright Linux talk love it I'm a Firefox user as well it sometimes doesn't work the way that Chrome Safari you know et cetera et cetera would but yeah good stuff. Curls basically a command line utility for transferring data okay I was more wondering what the Klee was but that's we can talk about this another time. Scott Johnson when we see you next I would like to hear all about your Klee adventures command line interface there you go command line interface I will do full reporting of my command line interface experience in the meantime though people are like well what are we doing until then well you can go listen to a whole bunch of podcasts look at a whole bunch of art some of that digital art I talked about on display on my website frogpants.com just click around see what you like there's got to be a show you're gonna like or maybe there's some art you like I don't know I'll get some brand new stuff in the store always a good time check it out frogpants.com and if you're trying to find me online and ask me real questions I'll answer them at twitter.com slash Scott Johnson well always good to have you on the show also always good to have brand new bosses and we get some since we saw you last thank you to our brand new bosses Brian and the buffalo of muffins both just started backing us on patreon thank you Brian thank you buffalo can I call you buffalo it took us a second to get command line interface it took me a second to realize he didn't mean the city of buffalo I was like the buffalo muffins what does that mean is it cold and industrial he means a animal just to be clear I understand what a command line is I just never heard it called a cleave before it's kind of cute reminder everybody there's a longer version of the show called good day internet it rolls right along after we finish up with DTNS available at patreon.com slash ETNS please join us if you can for our extended show we are live on this show though Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. Eastern twenty hundred UTC you can find out more at dillitechnucho.com slash live and we are back doing it all again tomorrow with just Marv Young and Len Brawl to joining us talk to you then this show is part of the frog pants network get more at frogpants.com I hope you have enjoyed this program


Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. Another team this season Friday is today, and it is Serie A. So I'm excited to see what cards are coming out today. We've got that loading screen right there to talk about. I'm gonna talk about the cards and packs, the SBCs, the objectives, all the content, and how the market's gonna react to that today inside of FIFA, because again, it is a team of the season squad coming out today, but I feel like it's the lowest amount of hype. For most people on the game, the Serie A has lower levels of hype than what we saw for like Premier League, La Liga, and the Bundesliga, and I think EA really needs to put out sick content this week to kind of carry this week as well and juice the cards up today. So I'm hoping to see some crazy cards today on Friday. Let's start talking about that first. The cards that we could see in packs today, of course, we have this loading screen out here showing us a couple hints on who could be in. There's been predictions, there's been guesses, and we're gonna see the final team today. But I think obviously Cristiano Ronaldo is almost guaranteed to be in. On the loading screen, though, people are thinking this could be Insignia, Lukaku, and potentially Theo Hernandez. I think Theo Hernandez is honestly one of the most hyped up cards besides Ronaldo that could be in team this season today. French links, 99 pace, really, really good left back that people played center back in this game. So that's a card that people are really, really looking forward to this year. Now, this is last year's Serie A team of the season. Again, just to remind you some of the names that could be in today. Definitely not the same as last year, but a guy like Immobilia should be in. Again, a guy like Quattrado could be in. I don't know about Nain Golan, but Illasich could be in. Pellegrini could potentially be in. Of course, a lot of the Pimonte Calcio players are gonna get in, you know, for the other attackers, maybe Lautaro, for the other midfielders. It's really interesting, because I feel like the Serie A is one of those leagues where it's like, all right, EA, put out some cards, juice them up, and show us what you got, right? Show us what you got. Hopefully they do juice the cards up today, but I honestly think when they get on the market today, I wanna talk about this. I feel like they're gonna be rare. Just like the Bundesliga cards were last week. I mean, you had lightning rounds that were not selling out, you know, after the whole hour, you had these cards with only a couple pages of supply on the market and still only have a couple pages, even for the very high tier ones, just because these guys, they're very rare because there weren't as many packs open and for some reason it seemed like EA held the pack weight back and they made these cards rare for a reason. And if you guys remember last week, like Muller was very rare, Coman was very rare. So I think that's gonna happen again today with Serie A. I don't think all your lightning rounds will sell out. Unless EA does something crazy, I know that Cristiano Ronaldo is in packs today and this is a big topic of discussion. Cristiano Ronaldo's gold cards, obviously gonna be out of packs. I think this is over-invested. It might rise a little bit, but it's already risen up like 15, 20,000 coins. He's 170,000 coins. So I think this is gonna be a card that honestly just drops off over the weekend because the gold Ronaldo, it's 170K, doesn't have that much hype. It might have a little bit, but people have so many cards already in their team that they would rather use over gold Ronaldo at this stage of FIFA, untradable Tots cards and SBCs that they've done and cards they have packed from Guaranteed, Tots packs and stuff. I don't see that card going crazy and going that much higher. So I think that card might be a little over-invested today. And then again, Cristiano Ronaldo being the big name today. His team of the year card that is already out, I think we could have a potential, kind of like we had with the Alfonso Davies team of the year card last week. I don't think Ronaldo's team of the season today is gonna be 99 rated because Lewandowski did not get a 99. Messi did not get a 99. I don't think they're gonna break their molds or what they're doing so far with team in the season and make this guy a 99. So I think it's gonna be either another 98 or 97 Ronaldo with some different stats. They might give him 90 physical, 90 passing and then lower his pace shooting, maybe his dribbling. I don't know what they're gonna do today with Ronaldo. But I think whatever it is, it's gonna be cheaper than seven mil. So I think again, how I explained that Alfonso Davies situation is, Alfonso Davies, his team of the year card last week was 1.1 million coins. It was 1.1 mil when it was first, when the team of the season was first dropped. So this card was 1.1 mil and the brand new one came out and obviously, team of the season Alfonso Davies is like 500K. So this card dropped off, the team of the year dropped off incredibly as the newer card was a lot cheaper and more supplied on the market. I think that could happen today with Ronaldo. If Ronaldo is a 97 or a 98, but has worse stats, he's gonna be cheaper than his team of the year just because that's how top cards are. And I think that's gonna make the team of the year price fall even further throughout the next week. So that's kind of my opinion on the Ronaldo. But other cards that we could see in today, I think Quadrado would be a cool one. I mean, this guy was hyped as one of the best left backs or sorry, right backs in FIFA. I mean, if you remember this rule breakers card, his inform and this man of the match, this was a card that so many pros were even using with the five star skills. It just makes for an interesting card. Hopefully they juice up his physical. That'd be a really, really cool looking card today. If he's all 80s statistics or above, if they do boost his physical up a lot, that could be a really cool card today with the UV or P Monty Calcio links. So that's kind of, you know, the team that's in packs today, we're just kind of like, all right, EA Sports, show us what you got, right? Juice the cards up, make it hype. That's something that we really wanna see today. I hope that they do that for sure. Now, content-wise, I think this is gonna be a week that EA really needs to use good SBCs, big name players and make them affordable to really carry the Serie A team in the season. We've had insane content in the past few weeks with Bundesliga and with the La Liga. As you see, a lot of these Bundesliga SBCs are expiring and I really hope that today we start off with another banger of an SBC and I think I have a big name in my mind that it could be because especially the last few weeks, we have had some big boy flashbacks, right? Gareth Bale, Marcelo, Douglas Costa. I think today we got one of two options coming for us if they're gonna keep on with this trend and that could be Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Nine Golan. And those are probably the two most hyped up and sought-after cards that could get flashbacks during this next week of Serie A team in the season. Now, Zlatan, whenever he gets a flashback card, it's gonna have the five-star skills, of course, because his base card does. They're gonna have to juice up his pace a ton. Hopefully, hopefully they give him an insane card today and don't go sideways on the stats because we wanna see something massive.  And also, you're gonna see some other special cards from the Serie A move up, like possibly this Kulusevsky is gonna be a card that people are gonna think about right away. Now, am I telling you to buy this right now? Absolutely not, because it is already very inflated. This Kulusevsky was like 100,000 coins or less last week. He's already up almost 30,000 coins in price.  So if you have any of these cards, like Tamori is one of them as well. Tamori and Smaling are some of the most popular investments from the Serie A for out-of-pack specials that could go up today. I think these cards are invested in. And you know what? I don't know how much hype there's gonna be for Serie A. So if you have any of these cards and you're making coins, I would dish them out because, again, like Ronaldo, I think there's more of a chance they go down today than that they go up. So that's just my opinion on that. I've got a Tamori, I bought a 230. I'm gonna try to cash him out for like $257 to $260 if he does go a little bit higher on this market. So I might try to cash him out there. Now, of course, with SBCs, we also have objective content on Fridays, probably looking at two different cards today just like the last couple of weeks. Last week, we had a flashback and a Tots moments. This week, it could be any sort of things, but I expect two objective players, of course, one through squad battles and one through like a friendlies mode, kind of like we had last week with Bundesliga. Same thing this week with the Serie A. Now, I wanna talk about something going forward into this week and just how Serie A team this season, again, how we've mentioned, is not always the most hype, right? It's not the most hype league. If you think about the Prem, you think about Lee Gunn with the Bapé Neymar that's coming next week. And we've had some pack code that was added yesterday. And I wanna talk about it because right here, I'm seeing something missing. And I think not a lot of people are talking about this and this needs to be spoken about.  So yay, plus one rating for Prime Icons, the second best version of an icon in the game, releasing at the end of May, EA Sports. Just give us Icon Moments, SBCs. Please and thank you. We also had a guaranteed team in the season, Serie A player that's of course, that SBC is gonna come out later than next week. We had an Air Division or CSL Tots player. I'm gonna talk more about that later on this weekend. I'm not convinced that it's gonna be two separate teams. That's how it was in the past couple of years, but I think they might combine those two leagues to make one team and make it not as hype. So I'll talk about that later this weekend, but I'm a little worried about that. I don't think it's gonna be 37 players in packs unless EA pull off a masterclass, but we will see. Now there's something missing from in here. The last couple of weeks, we have had an 85 plus LaLiga Pack added to the code. We have also had, last week, the 83 times five, 83 plus times five, Bundesliga Pack, but this week, we have nothing. We also had nothing for Premier League team of the season added to the code like that. So I'm wondering if this week is gonna be a bit more chill and low key with the SBC content, especially with the upgrade pack content. As people know, as EA know, that League One coming next week is a really hyped week. I wonder if they're gonna kind of lay off the content this week, make it a little bit less hype to kind of refresh the market a little bit and kind of reset, right? And just chill for a minute and then release more insane content during League One. That's just a theory, but since we don't see a pack added there, that's just something I'm thinking about. I'm not entirely sure if that's gonna go down that way. Of course, if they start off with a Zlatan or a nine goal in today, that's really hype. So, you know, we can't just base it off of day one or we can't just base it off that pack code, but that's just kind of my thoughts right now on this game. Now again, speaking of SBCs, the SBC content and the SBC prices in this game are still very, very high. All of the cards we have come out, had come out last week in the squad building challenge section have just made all of these fodder cards go up so much on the market.  And so many people have seen the price rise of SBC cards in the past two weeks. They're gonna be investing today. When there's more and more people investing in cards, that makes me more and more leery to go in there myself and invest in some of that stuff. So, if you're gonna be buying some fodders, 83, 84, 85, 86 rated cards today into like during lightning rounds, I would be bidding on these and I would try to get them, you know, 84s, I would try to get it like 7K if you can, 6,000 coins. I hope they drop off a lot today because the more they drop off, the better it looks. But I think there's gonna be a lot of people that will be investing in this stuff because they saw how much it went up last week.  This guy was 3K. Last week he went to 7K, he dropped back down to 5K on Saturday and boom, went to 11K this past week with all the content we had. I mean, I don't even know if people are gonna let 84s go back to 5K again. They might start buying them before they get there because, you know, they saw all the content this week and they wanna invest and they know they can make some coins if the content's gonna continue to be that good. So I don't know if E is gonna make insane content for a third week in a row. Right now, in my mind, I'm kind of leaning on the air side of caution. So at most today, I'd be doing a club stock, buying one, chucking it in the club. If you think they're gonna have insane content this week, I really don't know if I would go on a sign. I would not be buying loads and loads of fodder. I would just be buying one or two, chucking it on the club, chucking a few on the transfer list and calling it a day there because, again, this market right now is just, it's not very vibrant. I would say that it's not very vibrant. A lot of cards have hit very, very low prices as you've seen. Some of these cards have even gone back up in price a little bit. Like Messi, team of the season, was like three mil flat and I believe he is back up right now. He's in the 3.1 range. So he's up like 100,000 coins from where he was and some of these other, like Rashford as well. Some of the high tier rare cards have gone back up a little bit again. I mean, that's partially due to just people having coins, right? People are having coins after opening, wow, 283. So Rashford's not up that much. But the Elite packs, top 200 packs are giving out tons and tons of coins every week and that's making those high tier cards continue to go up a little bit. But for the rest of this market, stuff is still very, very low. And I think especially for your abundance of Tots cards, if you have any of those in your team, I would 100% be looking to get some of these out this weekend. These guys are probably gonna drop off, again, as another league is coming and as some of these guys are gonna be projected to get an ultimate Tots, which is coming decently soon, you know, the bonus thing of hype is gonna kind of wear off as we have Serie A coming in this week and today inside of FIFA 21 Ultimate Team. So a very interesting day on Friday, right? I do think these Serie A cards are gonna be as, they're gonna be rare last week, right? We gotta watch the pack supply, the percentages to see what is going on with how packable these cards are and be watching the supply on the market today. I'm not saying there's not gonna be hype cards today because there are gonna be some hype cards, right? Latteo Hernandez is gonna be one of them and we'll see who else EA puts out. But again, I just feel like this week of Serie A may not live up to the hype that last week and the week before that did inside of Team of the Season. So I'm a little bit leery on that. But again, I've expressed my thoughts there. Good luck if you're playing the weekend league and also good luck if you are spamming one last set of player picks. Now I've got all these players unassigned right now because I'm doing a last full send on some of these Bundesliga upgraded packs because you know what, I'm probably not gonna do that many packs during Serie A, maybe just enough to give myself a chance at packing somebody like Cristiano Ronaldo. But I'm gonna be hitting some of these Bundesliga premium packs before 6 p.m. today on Friday on the live stream. I'll be streaming live at the content drop. Make sure you check out that link down below, twitch.tv forward slash the foot accountant. We'll be there live streaming, watching the team when it comes out in packs and of course following the market all day. Speaking of the market, one last thing. These promo Fridays, icons have 100% been the move. Whether you're looking for like 59th minute listings of people that are selling cards or some of these just panic selling on some of these cards into the content drop, I think that's gonna be one of the bigger plays today. If you see panic selling and you're banking on the content, not being that hype, seeing a bounce back is probably something I think you'd be expecting, right? Expecting especially if it's an icon that rebounded up a lot after rewards. You know, like this butcheregonya was like 230, 240. Now he's up to 280. If he's back down to 240, you know, in the morning this morning on Friday, that's gonna be something I would be interested in, right? And he's out of packs. The primes and the moments icons are the only ones in packs. So that's kind of how I'd be looking at the market today. And also you could look at the 59th minute, right? People that pack icons right away, sometimes they list them up for huge undercuts because they don't know how much they go for or they just want to get their coins right away because they're just stoked that they packed an icon. That's gonna be a way you could trade today on the market as well, along with fluctuation trading the brand new team of the seasons if there are some hyped ones out in the game today. So that's kind of how I'm feeling about the market today and the game today. Syria team of the season, hopefully it's a hype one, right? I feel like the ball is in EA's court once again here. Juice the cards up EA sports, make them look sick and give us something to be hyped about and give us something to be excited about today on FIFA. So that's the video boys, if you did enjoy it, smash them in the bonnet, comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Fodaccount and I will catch you guys later. Peace out.

So that's weird. It's weird. I mean, I'll give you a couple more. I mean, I'm here with a lot of people. Most of the person. So you know, I'm here with a lot of people. I'm here with a lot of people. I've seen a lot of people that have seen it so far. It's all weird. I've seen it. I've seen it. I haven't seen it. It's all weird. I've seen it. It's all weird. It's a little... It's a little bit of a cool thing. It's a little bit. It's a little bit. It's cool. It's all weird. It's a little... It's all weird. Yeah. I been friendly with a person It's a very important part. You need to set up a fire. I think that we can actually use a lot of it. We can speed it down. We'll just give it a little bit of a turn. I'm going to make a stop at my house. We'll do a little bit of a little bit of a speed up. And this is what I'm going to do. This is what I'm going to do. This is what I'm going to do. I'm going to start with the same one. It's going to run well. I'm going to get my money going. I'm going to get my money going. Okay. Now, if we'll have a moment of centering silence to gather ourselves together. And now, you join together in singing the ingathering hymn, it's in your order of service or 83 if you want to have the music. Welcome to the First Unitarian Society of Madison. This is a community where curious seekers gather to explore spiritual, ethical and social issues in an accepting and nurturing environment. Unitarian Universalism supports the freedom of conscience of each individual as together we seek to be a force for good in the world. My name is Rosalind Woodward and on behalf of the congregation, I'd like to expend a special welcome to visitors.  Newcomers are encouraged to stay for the fellowship hour after the service and to visit the library, which is opposite the auditorium. Bring your drinks and your questions and members of our staff and lay ministry will be on hand to welcome you. You may also look for people holding teal stoneware coffee mugs and these are members knowledgeable about our faith community who would love to visit with you. Experience guides are generally available to give a building tour after the service, but I have nobody signed up, so I don't know whether somebody's going to appear. So if you'd like to gather at that corner, just over by the window there, hopefully somebody will show up. If not, I'm sorry. We welcome to children to stay for the duration of the service, however, because it's difficult for some in attendance to hear in this lively, acoustical environment. Our child haven at the far back corner there and the commons are excellent places to retire if a child needs to talk or move around. The service can be seen and heard from those areas and speaking of noise, this would be a great time to turn off all electronic devices that might cause a disturbance during this hour. I'd like to acknowledge those individuals who help our services run smoothly and we unfortunately don't have a full team this morning. Our sound operator is being covered by one of the staff, Dan. So if anybody feels moved to do technical stuff, it's really quite a lot of fun and there's not very much to do. We have no sound operator right now and Dan is taking it over. We have two lane ministers, Bob Bradford and Tom Boykov. The greeter who met you as you came in was Claire Box. We, Melinda Carr, was doing the ushering and Jim O'Brien picked up at the last minute. Thank you, Jim. And Kelly Bradford also was helping and Anne Ostroma is going to help pass the basket. So it was sort of a mix and match team today. And Miss Nitchke is on her own doing hospitality and coffee and what have you in the kitchen. So thank you all. Please note the announcements in the red floors that will have accompanied your bulletin. It describes upcoming events in the society and provides more information about today's activities. Again, we welcome, we hope today's service will stimulate your mind, touch your hearts and stir your spirit. And now, if a Muslim will come to life with a chalice, please stand and start a walk. For the life of our chalice, a symbol of our new youth faith is yet to hatch and join with me in reading the words which appear in your research. Lightning of fire, spark of the universe that borned by the agent of life and death. Symbol of life and freedom. We desire to understand ourselves and our early home. And now please share with your neighbor and offer them a friend, great inspiration and return to your seat. And now I will give this floor for the sharing of these important matters of our lives. My name is Gail and I light this candle for my cousin Margaret who at 64 has been fighting breast cancer for seven years and reaching the end of that fight. I light it for her and her family. My name is Mary. I've had an interesting summer. My father at a month short of 96 passed away in June. I have a settlement on the divorce when no court date. I moved and I need hearing. My name is Lynn and I'm a lifelong Methodist and we are here visiting from Kansas. And it's my very first time to be in a Unitarian Church. I have several friends who are, but I wanted to light a candle of thanks. I'm also a ninth grade health teacher and I've recently become very activist. I live in small town Kansas. Kansas, Governor Brownback. And in April I became challenged by myself to, I flew to Washington D.C. and participated in the Democracy Spring Initiative and I got arrested. But when we were there, when we were there, the first day that we were, I flew in on Friday after school and Saturday we met all day at the, I don't remember the name, but all souls I think, Unitarian Church in Washington D.C. I was just so impressed. They opened up their whole church or whatever it's called. And there were work, the building. They opened up the building and there were speakers, just amazing energy. There was an art build in the basement and I just, if I ever leave the Methodist Church, I'm really excited to be here. My name is Brent and I'm starting a new career I'm really excited about. My name is Claire and my life is calm. So for that I'm grateful. But I like candles, a one candle for many of my friends who are suffering and family. So Marcy Bradley's father died within the last couple of weeks and two other friends have lost a parent and two of my family members are dealing with terminally ill parents or, you know, just difficult situations. I have a cousin who's struggling with severe depression and so I hold those people in my heart. My name is Michelle and I'm lighting this candle for my daughter Trina who is on her way to Ecuador. As we speak she just took off at O'Hare. She's also with her friends Naomi and Natalie who she met at the First Unitarian Society Youth Group. They're going there for a three week adventure so I'm lighting it for their safety and their fun. Hi, my name is Julia. I just moved to Madison this week to be closer to my two children, a place where my grandfather grew up. I'm from Stevens Point, I'm a member of that fellowship for all over 40 years. So I have been here before because Michael Schumer married my daughter a couple of years ago. So it's kind of nice to be back in Madison where I finished school. My name is Rachel and I'm lighting a candle of joy to celebrate the successful treatment, mental health treatment of my nine-year-old niece, Karina, who has selective mutism. And it's a severe anxiety disorder where she's really hesitant to talk to anyone or strangers. She's been going through therapy for years and I just went on vacation with her and a stranger asked her questions about the camp and she just talked to them and talked to everyone at the camp. This is just a really joyful moment for me and my sister's family. I've spoken to ways and styles of those here, in our community, and throughout the world. And now through standards you are able to see in number six, just as long as I have the record, and our children waiting for summer time at this time, possibly murmuring. Plus we live in a hard-edge season where plastic revel and winging shine and in this space, in this corner of the rainbow, we do not notice wet, moist, as significant drops falling from these spheres that are certain measures of our minds. Almost invisible, those tears soft as dew, fragile, that cling to leaves, feathers, roots, gentle and sure every morning. We are the women of the daylight of pots and steel families and rust stores and stray pots of superhighways that slice our days in tune. Wrapped around the plastic and steel, we brighten our lives. Behind our glasses, we hide our eyes. Our thoughts, shade, see those pure. Smoke fills our minds. Whisky pusses our souls. Polyester casts the bodies from our craft. Our feet through the welcoming stones occur. Our dreams are pendulum memories of themselves and nagging doubt is the false measure of our days. Even so, the spirit voices are singing. Their thoughts are dancing in this dirty air. Their feet touch the cement, the asphalt, the lining. Still they wave dreams we use upon our shattered thoughts. If we do not, if we do not hear. Let us go there, let us find them. Let us listen for water, the careful winging drops that listen on the leaves and flowers. Let us ride the midnight, yearning dawn. Feel the wind striding through our hair. Let's dance the dance of feathers. The dance of wood. And, second, the caged bird. Free bird leaps on the back of the wind that floats downstream to the current dance. And this is way the orange sun rays and bears to play with the sky. The bird that stalks down his narrow cage has seldom seen through his bars of rage. His wings are clipped and his feet are tied, so he opens his throat the same. The caged bird sings with a fearful drill things I've known of long ago still. And his tune is kernel of distant field where the caged bird sings of freedom. The free bird makes another breeze and the thread that is soft we decide which breeze and the backwards rain on the dawn-riding lawn. And he nears the sky, his own. But a caged bird stands on the grave of news. His shadow shouts on a night clear spring. His wings are clipped and his feet are tied, so he opens his throat to sing. The caged bird sings with a fearful drill of things I've known of long ago still. And his tune is heard from the same. More wonderful. Special music. Can you notice the way Davis spoke on a front-of-the-order service? And now I guess you've seen the poster of the world before you. You're coming this back. And yes, I do not mind his permission if that is suggested. And I was taken by an apologist, way-famous breeze. The world in which you were born is just one model of reality. Other cultures are not any of the terms that we knew. They are unique manifestations of making the spirit. Many of us have tended some kind of diversity over cultural competency training, usually in our workplace. This type of training provides lots of information, mostly facts, characteristics, and statistics about the open-movie object. It originated primarily in North Carolina and was intended to, quote, enable effective work in cross-cultural situations, or in the 89 U.S. DHS. But why do we need this? Largely because many people powerfully in the U.S. for a hazard to accept which is an academic health and medical services, because of abuses which have been perpetuated against them by such agencies. Faith, Jim Carmel was a segregated health care and allowed for poorer health care around the world. Faith, that infamous Tuskegee study of un- un-treated symptoms in the Negro male. It ran for 40 years until in 1972 a whistleblower health stock gave government sanctioned force sterilization. Reportedly as recently as in 1977 to 150,000 low-wave health people were being sterilized. Physically, some poor whites and many people of color other groups targeted and who eventually ill and, quote, disabled men and women those were deaf, blind, epileptic, and, quote, physically. Information on the largest state program which just happened to be in California that's a very large state was managed over the world and reportedly used by the Nazis and the other thing is that training was helpful but another approach cultural humility takes it takes us much closer to the core issues associated with race relations and cultural acceptance. Cultural humility involves the process by how we see ourselves and others in an other oriented stance and with the commitment to maintaining this approach to more people from whom we are different. You know the software as well? When I talk diversity quite a few years ago I encourage students to use this phrase to remind themselves that others are not simply different from us that is, unless we see ourselves as the ultimate goal. See, as soon as one's wrote humility is not thinking less of yourself it's thinking of yourself less. I believe this is similar to what President Obama means when he says he hopes Americans will continue to learn to see themselves in each other. For us as a society perhaps all children know you're ready to be almost the office of American exceptions as we use that term today. The French writer taught us such a point of term in the late 1830s when he visited our Republic appears to have used it in characterizing American democracy as unmoving rather than seeing it as it. The latter being more recent term during this June's Human Rights Defenders Forum hosted annually by former President Jim Carter one of their major discussions involved a world that human rights in the name of national security. In summary, they wrote regard for human rights is the most effective area to violence and extremism and the best guarantee of sustaining security. Now as many as powers seem to be saying shall we think that so-called white privilege is at the core of these issues and if we shed this invisible knapsack as painting Macintosh was to refer to it in 1988 will y'all be together last nor do I believe did she. Of course the concept is related but Dr. Macintosh simply gave an A a term for discussing the idea that white people and in some cases only white men can account on certain societal privileges which for more than a century went without notice at least by that point. Macintosh wrote ought to see racism only in the individual acts of neediness not in the systems conferring violence on academic works she then came to understand that she could actually quote have the race in which I enjoy unearned skin privilege and have the condition into a plugin about its very existence. She created a list of 50 such privileges on which people of power did not necessarily account you may not see that list but I'm reading here when I'm told about our national heritage or about civilization I am shown that people of my power made it what it is I can go shopping most of the time pretty well sure that I'm not involved in a store or brand whether I miss chess but at ours of Hatch I can count on my skin power not to work against the appearance of my financial reliable. If a traffic officer pulls me over or the IRS orders my tax return I can be sure I haven't been a single doubt in the cause of my race here's a therapy for a run I do not have to educate my children to be aware of systemic racism for their own daily physical protection in one month I will be aware of the unusual walks of public life institutional and social indeed most of us can take the same for granted but certainly not at all when we use many people of power are very very green we just buy them some in his acceptance speech for the 2016 Black Entertainment Humanitarian War popular TV actor Jesse Williams spoke out forced receiving a standing relation from his larger large black audience he said things like this award is not for me at the end of the sentence but it's also for the students who are realizing that for a system built to provide and then publish and destroy us cannot stand if we do and in his closing remarks he said we're done watching and waiting while this invention of whiteness uses and uses us now Mr. Williams is not fringe activist but a respected man of color an actor an activist and his feelings apparently reflect those of thousands of people of color in addition to his famous comic parts in that audience that we take is this surprising most of his friends from gay embrace anatomy yeah I think he brought this reference to the invention of whiteness makes me think of author and the romantic magazine or respondent Kamahasi Coates in his highly popular New York Times bestseller of which my dear friend telegraphed me and they brought me to Christmas he writes Americans live in the realm of the race as a divine indisputable feature of the natural world rendered as a innocent daughter of mother nature and this means one is left to implore the middle of passage or the trail of tears the way on the floor is perfect or tornado or any other phenomenon that can be passed as we all know and work on men he goes on to say but race is the child of races both book and actual this is a letter to this 15 year old black son sensually a story of how folks in south stopped by a police was stopped by a police for no apparent reason and then released without a reason as late as when a college friend was stopped by a police the same year he scores under certain similar circumstances he was killed since he wouldn't have been for this yet the main historical and cultural distractions woven throughout are the reason he creates such confounding words with us it looks like each time a police officer engages us death injury remaining is possible the dreamers as he calls once accept this as a cost of doing business accept our offers as currency because it is their tradition these words give us a punch in the gut yet that feeling of collective gut is an essential insight into the thoughts of athletes and men in America thoughts and things we have no way of knowing unless we listen and listen without judging others true we must work very hard to make ourselves where others true the stories of people in most of us in the world people from whom we are different those of us who began our lives in small towns were on the place of saying this especially owe it to ourselves, our children, and our world to break the loose of the bonds in which we grew up to embrace the other world of colors sounds, tastes, smells, traditions and religious practices that fill most of the intended to imply that we use our unenlightened phrases far our new principle number one the inherent worth and dignity of every person is the one that I personally hold us and most central to our new core we are known for social justice work we do in support believe we want to learn about ourselves and others a small world in Canada town and at the first time I was ever a minority person in a room was when I visited a wonderful African American church on the south side of Chicago when I was not even a girl I stepped into an entirely new world and was welcomed and embraced by kind people whom I had never had before at that time it was the most human spiritual moment I had ever experienced and yet only 19 years before my birth about 40 miles up higher than 9 from my child to the home a lynching had occurred in Marriott at the end the lynching of two young black women captured in time as an appropriately black and white photo which became the basis for building holidays jazz, classic, strange groups strange friends grew up in a room from our town and I didn't even know anything about it until I was an adult my family didn't even talk about that kind of stuff now there are 80 years after that 200 trillion in the air what do you better understand the collective memories of those who were sacrificed for their race, creed, and religion the indigenous peoples of Marriott who were brought together on us in tradition African women can now be forced to consummate to America as slaves Jews who are massacred out of ignorance and hate and all the other different people in the world perhaps more importantly how can we begin now to live with the new view of our world one which pledges to see the world from other oriented stance if we accept that cultural humility is a practice which is followed who changed the world for the better still, how long can we move from here to there? there's no simple answer nonetheless, I will be strong in order to have any hope for success in this endeavor we must engage in a long term authority process and practice it daily of course, as we come forward we really look at people from whom we are different from us, and wonder how they feel, think their religion how we live by reading, watching, and simply living but different there are many books which are context books novels, historical novels and biographies which can help us put us in their shoes if only for a few hours there are lots of newspapers and magazines and even festivals and celebrations all for that simply because we're fortunate to have the worst community gap there and wonder our staff have been hiding at the set of the table and we out on the stairs and after the service I'll be out there and happy to share some of my ideas for publications and books that can just help us know what's going on I'd like to introduce you to a remind-you not stand for any other one developed by Dr. Donna Hicks it is called the Dignity Model and it's so straightforward as to seeing obvies of course it requires a lucid human quality but also that of seeing one another as worthy of being but can I imagine to grab your two twos, you won't I want you to make your record of Dr. Hicks's declaration which is also posted on the table back in the comments she wrote imagine what the world would be like if we treated each other as if we meant if we all found each other's dignity and alone and that we are all worthy of having our identity set in condition of our unique qualities have knowledge of to be seen further and respond to belonging and feeling included freedom and impact and a life of hope be safe and secure be true and fair being given the benefit of the doubt being understood and given the knowledge of when someone lets us on really sure it's true but ultimately require a little thing called a paragraph shift meaning one who is actually a world view is replaced by another of course this is actually not a whole thing and it is a rather very big deal I am a new cultural humility and the reduction of racism in our world about the imagination reduction of racism in our world is a paragraph shift not occurring there those who resist change and there are many are going kicking and screaming I doubt I would see this accepted in my lifetime but I do believe it will come I don't know if you notice this yet but I love the way our reflections have flowed into my love of Islam and on July 17 my new buddy Jim O'Bornan referenced Dr. Daniel Worcester's words what ails us most is not what we have done with America but the images we have are marked with the voice of America to discern pollution will not solve the problem of the world but it may help us discover that we cannot must not try and make the world in our language and the OECD co-founder of WPV Du Bois is credited to saying either America will destroy ignorance or ignorance will destroy the United States maybe we can plan everything possible to replace ignorance with self and cultural humility so that our beloved community may flourish with dignity and respect among all maybe so blessed being our home and now please be generous with financial contributions as the ushers collect the offering which bids us our great community and for many good words we join the community we are going to sit at the welcome table be noted with the awareness of the existence of life and of the sufferings that are going on around us let us practice the establishment of peace in our hearts and on the earth amen and blessed being we remain seated for the first time
