Hey guys, it's Nate, AKA The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. It's another Friday on FIFA 21, and that means another promo road to the final. Team number one is going away, and that means probably team number two is coming in. Now, technically, we don't have a loading screen. Nothing else has happened yet. Like, we're not... The only really thing that we're seeing is kind of guaranteeing us a team two is what we usually have gone off of in the past couple weeks, that there's a team one coming, and then a team two. So the fact that we didn't have it a loading screen today was kind of interesting, but I think we're gonna see a team two today. I think we are gonna see a lot of that content, and that should be coming out, right? Cause that seems to be the way that EA is doing promos this year is team one, and then team two. I'd be shocked if they didn't do a team two today, and especially because when they label things as team one, it just makes sense that a team two would come out, and this is their tweet from last week, of course, with the squad from team one. Now let's talk about what kind of cards can be in packs today. I honestly think that team two does have potential to possibly be better than team one, and here's why. If we take a look at this entire squad, and I'm actually gonna go to foot bin so that you can see the entire squad without my face being in the way, but one thing we noticed last week was not all of the major teams that are in the Champions League are represented in the squad. There's no Manchester City cards in packs, no Real Madrid cards in packs, and no PSG items in packs as well, and no Dortmund, right? So I would go and venture to imagine that today's squad would have a member from each of those four teams because EA knows that that can sell packs. I know we've already had Chelsea as well. There's no Chelsea player in this team, so with all of those five teams right there, with no player actually in packs, I think there's potential to get a pretty solid squad today. Now, of course, it always depends on the player selection, but team two today could be pretty interesting in my opinion with that coming out. I haven't heard any leaks about it. Some people were saying Sterling, some people were saying, oh, Juventus isn't in this team as well. Some people were saying Delict, Sterling, Ramos. Some people were saying Ferlan Mendi, so it could be a really big team today. So we don't have any loading screen or any reason for panic, and that's kind of the first thing I wanna talk about today as well. Are we going to see panic this morning on the game? Now there's a couple things that could impact that. First things first, today is the possible and supposed release date of the player of the month for the Premier League, which is supposedly going to be Hyunmin Sun or Harry Kane. One of those two players, I guess it could be Kyle Walker as well, but I think it's most likely gonna be Sun or Kane. I'm really hoping for Sun. If it's a Sun SBC, if they give him 90 pace, if they do him a decent upgrade from an 87 to an 88, maybe they give him an 89, I would get very interested in that card really fast. Now what would I expect this card's price to be today? His gold card's about a 130,000 coin card. A lot of people are investing in this right now. A lot of people are buying Premier League Informs. People are buying Premier League high rated cards, right? That's the kind of stuff you would probably need for that SBC. I don't think you would need Sun's gold card itself to complete the player of the month or Kane's gold card itself. So just be careful with SBC fodder today. Player of the months are very rarely insane value. Most of the time when a player of the month card is insane value and everybody does it, it's like an 83 or an 84 rated squad for a really good player, right? Now a Sun card, this SBC today is probably gonna be around the range of like 500,000 coins, in my opinion. If it's any less than 400K, that's pretty good value, I would think, especially if you're getting some tradable packs back from the SBCs and you're getting the Sun card, then I would say it's a decent value, if it's about 400,000 coins or so for that. If it's more than that, if it's like 600,000, 700,000 coins, I don't think I would get involved with it at all. Even as a Spurs fan, I would have to think twice. So just be careful with that kind of stuff today. If you did invest in SBC fodder, I don't really feel like stuff is gonna go to the moon today because a lot of people have invested in it and that scares me a little bit just because of the over-investing. We're gonna talk about over-investing and some other areas we wrote to the final cards as well. But that's kind of the main thing that I could imagine impacting panic selling this morning. If that SBC comes out, it's a really good card and it's a cheap SBC, I could see some panic selling happening on the market. Now, some other, I think, there are some SBCs expiring today. I think that makes some amount of, yes, that does expire. We still have Atal, we still have Isco that is out. Some people were thinking about today could be the league one player of the month as well. We still have nine days left on the Neane SBC and the voting, I believe, is still open for league one player of the month. I think Bundesliga player of the month is about done with voting. We'll probably see that SBC next week, but a lot of people have invested in SBC fodder. So just be careful with that market today. I just don't feel like EA would have to put out a massive SBC or something huge for a lot of that stuff to go up. So if you invested and it's already up, consider taking the coins on selling into the hype on some of those things. But again, what we're looking for with Panic, like we saw last Friday morning was, we saw out of packs special cards. We're talking in forms. We are talking rule breaker cards. There were a lot of cards that were Panic sold in the morning because people had saved up packs and they were awaiting the new road to the final promo. Now, of course, we're awaiting set two of this promo this week. There's already cards in packs still, so nobody's really saving packs up and waiting to open up packs for this new squad. There's not a lot of that. We're basically just kind of waiting for the new squad. And since we don't even have a loading screen at the moment, a lot of stuff on the market has gone up. It is out of packs, special cards, a lot of the stuff has gone up. Gold cards didn't do so well and they continue to kind of just be very meh on the market. A lot of gold cards just continue to be very meh in terms of trading with them, in terms of their price fluctuations, they're not moving as much just because now they're getting a lot of supply. But watch rule breakers, watch team of the week cards this morning. If there is a bunch of panic selling for whatever reason, make sure, obviously, that it's not like a leaked SVC that's gonna be a repeatable SVC that would like crash the market. But I wouldn't expect that at all. But if you do see panic selling this morning on some out of packs, special cards, whether that be in past team of the weeks, you could look at some ones to watch cards as well. I know we're on international break this weekend, so look at some of the international matchups. Just pick out some meta cards, right? Then maybe you're gonna be dropping if you find prices dropping, especially on some of the rule breakers because they're pretty rare items. Like your rent today was $2.88, now he's down to $2.70. Or maybe a guy like 9 goal and he's getting kind of hyped up right now. And Merton's who's up like 100K, both those guys are up a bunch. If you see a bit of a drop off today in the morning, that could be a potential for where you buy a card like that and sell it for more when the market goes up after the new cards are released in packs. Now I wanna talk about the road to the final cards that are going out of packs, the Champions League ones, and then mention these cards that will be in packs and team of the week seven that will be in packs today on Friday. So what I would expect to happen with these is, yes these cards got low, these guys hit their lowest point today because of this SBC that came out because of rewards number one and number two because of this UCL, it's like a UCL League SBC is really what it is. And it's a very, very expensive SBC. It is not worth it at all. I don't know if you guys saw this today or if you were watching this and what it did to the market and getting kicked off the servers for whatever reason. It's not letting me connect. But this is the SBC that came out today. The UCL, the UEFA Champions League SBC. So you get an untradable 50K pack in the end. There's some trade-all packs in the middle but the UCL rare cards right now are inflated on the market. I would cash those out because they're gonna be going down with more pack supply today. But this SBC costs you like almost 200,000 coins to do or something crazy like that. And that's sucking a lot of coins off the game. People are addicted to these SBCs and if they are just doing them from scratch which a lot of times they do, just for the packs, they're not making their coins back on these packs. They're really, really not. A lot of these are untradable and especially the 50K pack at the end is untradable. This is taking a lot of the coins off the market and hence why you saw some of the gold cards get panic sold today and why you only saw some of the really meta cards rise up even further just because people went out and bought those or people still had coins to buy those for the weekend league teams whereas other people had to sell some gold cards or sell some investments to go do that SBC. So just be careful with that SBC. Not a huge fan of that one and I think that kind of messed the market up a little bit today. If you wanna invest in some road to the finals. This is what I have to say about some of these. They finally added the card type, which is a W but the only thing I have to say about these is yes, they're out of packs. Are they as rare as last year? I don't know. Are they as hyped as last year? I don't know about that either. Claustramen is somebody who I'm sort of interested in just because we have so many Leipzig links. It's actually crazy. Zakaria is interesting. Muriel is interesting. This guy right here, a lot of people I've invested in. This is like the biggest over investment from a mile away. Sansone is like 36, 37,000 coins at the moment right now. Yes, of course he links to a tall but this guy was 33,000 coins per week. He went to 49 on Wednesday, got invested in and is now back down. But a lot of people have bought this card. Could it go to the mid 40s next week? Yes, it possibly could. But I'm just saying this card to me, I remember investing in his, I forget what card it was. He had a special card last year that was a headliner. Sansone last year and I bought his card and he never moved in price at all. Now I know this is different because it's not his informed that would upgrade his card. It's a road to the final. But if you're wanting to buy any of these, I would say just watch the prices this morning. Griezmann, Rashford, Davies, Claustramen, Salah would be the ones that I would expect to go up out of packs the most and Oblak as well. This could be a sneaky under the radar buy in my opinion. If you get him in like the low 130s and 120s. He was at 130 flat today. He's 134 right now. Links of course to the Jimenez card. So just keep an eye on somebody like this. But the way I'm feeling with these road to the finals is if team two is more hyped, people might want to try out cards from team two if they're cheap enough first day, which they're not going to be cheap. They're going to be very expensive. But I just feel like there's a possibility that since Champions League is still a far ways away and since the market this year is so controlled by people that are trying to buy cards and invest to make coins that artificially inflates player prices all the time on this game. I feel like there's a small chance that some of these road to the finals could still drop further in the next week or so, especially with Black Friday on the horizon, possibly with icon SBCs coming in the next two to three weeks with that Black Friday timeframe as well. But Champions League is next played on November 24th, which is the week of days leading up to the Black Friday promo and Thanksgiving and all that kind of stuff. So that's going to be something very close to watch with these. I would expect maybe Saturday, Sunday night with Weekend League sell off. It might be another entry point for some of these road to the final cards, especially if team two is hyped today, the team one cards could maybe fizzle off a little bit. So that's going to be something I keep my eyes on very carefully. And then again, just to like make some coins, right? On a normal promo Friday, things that we see happen for content-wise. I would expect another player SBC today. An objective, I guess we could see an objective, but we only have seven days left. We look at the top right here. You can barely see it. There's seven days left in the season. That means that next week is going to be a big week. Some people are thinking next week could be icon swaps. Yes, an icon swaps or icon SBCs with the new season. That'd be a perfect time for EA to release icon swaps in the game. And that could start a whole new level of content and stuff that's going on with FIFA. So that could be something very interesting, but Kunde is out for another seven days. I might expect another objective, maybe a Europa League card tomorrow. Now the Europa League cards are in packs still, right? And that's why I mentioned, if you're looking at these cards today, these are probably going to be treated like a team of the week item. These guys could bounce around and be actually tradable and investable today as well. Kind of like icons, right? Packed supply comes. Cards get listed on the market. Some people panic sell, right? I would expect these guys' prices to probably drop a little bit into the content drop. Same with some of these Europa League cards. And then what's going to happen is they'll get hit with supply and then the meta ones will bounce back. Look at this Ronaldo Sanchez, right? I would keep a very close eye on this card tomorrow. Look what happened with him today at rewards. Started the day at 750,000 coins, 600K on the Xbox, dropped all the way down to 505 and 539 and is now back up to 585.90. So big rebounds on a card like this. It's all about timing it, right? And especially with pack supply coming today and people knowing that these cards are still in packs, they're going to be selling them up until 6pm because they know there's possibility for these guys to get panicked sold. I like Ndidi. I really like Ndidi a lot. He's a very budget centered offensive mid that is very good in this game. And there's not a lot of CDMs that are special cards yet for the Prem. And that's a position that a lot of people are running Prem teams would like to upgrade to, right? Let's say instead of using wine all of them, you want to use Conte, but you don't have 300, 400,000 coins for Conte. I kind of like this card. I think he's going to drop a little bit more, hopefully into like the maybe even lower 200s range by the time we're in like weakening sell-off mode on Sunday night and stuff like that. So I'm kind of keeping an eye on this card. And if he gets a dynamic image, that would be even better. So just watch the Europa League grow to the finals. Icons today will be great. Watch the panic selling in the morning. I do think you'll see our normal Friday market rise in the afternoon after the packs are opened, after people get their SPC content, their fill. There could be pack supply SPC today. And there's just a lot of variables today. Could be a pretty fun day on the market in all honesty. Could be a pretty interesting day with what happens. So Icon 59th minute with the basic Kemp style is always great on Fridays because you get to that 59th minute really fast and you try to find icons that people had just packed and they're listing out for a price that is just way too cheap, right? This is a filter that I love doing, especially later in the year during when there's lightning rounds. Icons, yes they come on the market when there's just promo packs but lightning rounds just do something different to these icons in the 59th minute. So that's a possible trading method today. And yeah boys, it's going to be an interesting day. Since we don't have a lot of info on what's actually coming today, I would expect just more cards and packs, probably another objective, probably another SPC player. Maybe we'll see the first ever like champions like SPC card design used today as well. We haven't seen that one used yet. But again, with this whole, with gold cards and everything that's going on with the market with a lot of these players being kind of, you know, down a little bit in price today, keep an eye on some of these gold items, Verner's down a bit, Marshal is down. Wine Elm's the same, Sun is down a bit.  Just keep an eye on some of these gold cards even though they're higher rated, just keep a close eye on them because I feel like after this weekend even more so they're going to continue to drop off. And as you look at a lot of these cards graphs, it's really starting to look like we're entering the Black Friday phase, right? Boom, 137, he was 100K all week and he's down even more into the day today. So I would just be careful with gold cards and if you want to take the safe route, again, as we mentioned yesterday, selling your team probably around the Friday night to Saturday morning timeframe might be the best just to keep it safe and to not have to worry about the next week or so as we head into a new season in foot with possibly icon swaps, Black Friday, a lot of stuff going on. So SBC Fodder today could drop a little bit more. I don't think SBC Fodder's really going to go up today. I hate to say it. I know a lot of you guys are invested in it. So if you've invested and you've done a club stock which I have recommended, just keep holding, right? We're just holding that SBC Fodder till a point where it does go up, right? It's kind of like a no risk hold investment because at some point it's going to go up. It's just a matter of when is that going to be? And especially with icon SBCs, maybe an icon upgrade on the horizon in the next couple of weeks, a lot of player of the months, the potential is there for that stuff to start rising. So we'll see what happens today with player of the month. We'll see what happens with the new cards and packs, new content, new SBCs, and just how much panic selling we have. It'll be a fun Friday, boys. If you enjoyed this video, smash a thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe to the channel for new. It's been Nathan with accounting. Catch you guys later. Peace out.


Welcome to the 2020 Rackham Fall Welcome. We are excited to present our virtual program to you today.  In that spirit, here to kick things off are members of the University of Michigan Fanfare Band. I'm Dr. Alphonse Peter Wanakwat, lecturer in LSNA and American Culture who will read the Territorial Acknowledgement. I want to thank the members of the University of Michigan for giving me the opportunity to speak about the students and their stories that have been here from this year's college. This is a very長 and будемing event that I would like to share with you this evening with you as well as with other students and staff from different types of schools and from those who are interested in learning It's the Ojibwe part of the acknowledgment. Now I will read the English part of it. The University of Michigan is located on the traditional territory of the Nishnabe people. In 1817 the Ojibwa, Budawa, and Bodoadmi nations made the largest single gift to the early University when they seated land through the treaty at the foot of the rapids so that their children could be educated. Through these words of acknowledgment their contemporary and ancestral ties to the land and their contributions to the University are renewed and reaffirmed. It is my great pleasure to introduce you to the Dean of the Rackham Graduate School, Dr. Michael Solomon. Dean Solomon is a professor of chemical engineering and professor of macromolecular science and engineering. His research interests are in the area of complex fluids which are soft materials with properties intermediate between fluids and solids. His teaching interests have included development of graduate courses in nano and colloidal assembly and light scattering. As an associate dean at Rackham, Dean Solomon focused on academic programs and initiatives including working with the school's faculty-led cross-campus initiative on graduate student mentoring. As Dean he is working diligently with students, faculty, and staff to get input that will create an enhanced student-centered experience for all Rackham students. Hello, I'm Dean Mike Solomon. I would like to take this chance to personally congratulate each of you and to welcome you to what I believe is a place like no other the Rackham Graduate School. It's a place in the community that can help you learn and create new knowledge as you pursue your goal of a graduate degree. You are part of a long tradition at the University of Michigan. U of M conferred its first master's degree in 1849. It awarded its first PhDs in 1876 and in fact these were the first doctorates awarded at a public university in the United States. Nearly 150 years later I welcome you to a very different place in a very different time. It is exciting to meet you virtually. We Rackham faculty and staff have been working and planning for your arrival since April although there is much that is uncertain about this moment our mission to support you as you pursue your educational goals and research discovery is unwavering. Since spring our Rackham community has been struggling and striving to address three simultaneous and interconnected challenges. COVID-19 is affected nearly every aspect of research scholarship and instruction along with our personal lives and the lives of those we care about and care for. The effects of anti-black racism are present in our communities every day and they are also present in our own institution with its legacy of privileging of white individuals. There are furthermore the cruel ramifications of federal policy changes that especially affect international and undocumented students. I admire the way Rackham students, staff and faculty have responded to these challenges over the past few months. You as new Rackham students have also persevered as you charted your transition to join us here for graduate study wherever you are located around the globe. I respect the resilience you have displayed. Of course even in a moment that feels so different from what we have known before this resilience is an important resource to draw upon as a graduate student. There are many avenues to support at Rackham and across the university to help you as you progress in your degree. You can learn more about these resources through the video link below and I hope that you will. Your holistic well-being is important to all of us at Rackham. We will strive each day to create an environment in which you feel safe, valued and welcome and which you can engage in the discovery, free inquiry, open exchange of ideas and creation of knowledge that graduate education is all about. When I start a graduate school I face challenges of my own. They're not the level of the challenges we currently face. I would like to share them because I think they are relevant to our current distanced and possibly isolated circumstances. I majored in engineering as an undergraduate but in a year prior to graduate school I traveled abroad. I hadn't thought about academics in 14 months when I arrived on campus. I arrived late just as classes started and somehow ended up living in the law school dorm even though I wasn't in law school. In my courses we had weekly problem sets due and I would go back to my dorm room and work really hard on them by myself but I wasn't finishing them. I was worried about my first midterms and then one day I walked into the library and a bunch of my classmates were sitting there together working on the problem sets that I had found so challenging. It was an impromptu study group. I made a really good choice that day which was to sit down and work with that group. Even though I hadn't known it, they were struggling just like I was. They helped me not only with the problem sets themselves but also with a sense of shared interest and difficulty. There was solidarity there and it really helped me start my graduate studies. And so even though because of COVID-19, these types of groups might take place this year over a computer or under an outdoor canopy, I strongly recommend that you seek out some kind of informal study, work or academic group within your program or department. These groups which don't need to be more than a few classmates working together can help you transition into your first year as a graduate student. The message is that even during a pandemic, you don't need to navigate the launch of your graduate studies on your own. Study groups are just one kind of group on campus. At an institution as big, diverse and inclusive as University of Michigan, there are many opportunities to join groups and organizations outside your program. Some of my graduate students that I mentor in my laboratory have shared with me how groups outside the department, groups like Rackham Student Government, Students of Color of Rackham and Graduate Rackham International have been a joy and help to them. You can learn more about these groups and many, many others at the Virtual Information Fair to follow. Please take this chance. Our Rackham students in these organizations have voiced to me that they want to meet you, support you, engage with you. The way we make connections may have changed for now, but the importance of doing so absolutely has not. In fact, I think creating community for yourself is more important now than ever. I also want to stress that there are many things that the Rackham Graduate School can do for you. Please think about your own goals and take advantage of the support that Rackham offers to help you achieve them. For example, applications for our diversity, equity, inclusion, professional development certificate have just opened. We are launching weekly Rackham 101 sessions this fall to connect you with the services and resources that Rackham has to offer. We have career based workshops, research grants, supports for your well-being and numerous other resources and programs to assist you. After today's event, you can find continually updated information on the Rackham website and in our weekly student newsletter. I encourage you to be intentional about what you want to accomplish during your education here and to take full advantage of the ways that Rackham can be your ally in that pursuit. I'd also like to take this opportunity to ask about something that you could do for Rackham. We are interested in your graduate student experience, what challenges you and what supports you. We are committed to using these data that we collect to improve graduate education, to enhance student success and catalyze new research in the field of graduate education. As a part of this effort, we survey different groups of Rackham students to learn more about your experiences. For example, later in the year, a number of you who are master students will receive a survey about your experience in your graduate program. Moreover, in a few weeks, a survey invitation will go out to first year PhD students. This is a significant opportunity for your voice to be heard to let us know about your transition to doctoral study. It is very important that we hear from students so that all voices and experiences inform our future efforts. Therefore, if you receive a survey invitation for us, I hope you will participate so that all of us at Rackham and those who come after us can benefit. This dovetails with the planning and outreach we are doing with faculty and student organizations to develop long term strategies to better serve you as students. Of course, this academic year, there is something else that you can do for Rackham, for yourselves, and for the entire University of Michigan community. Please join your fellow students along with UM faculty and staff in following the safety measures across campus that will help us protect us all and stop the spread of COVID-19. Keep a safe distance of six feet or more. Wear a face covering. Limit the size of your gatherings and meet outdoors if possible. Wash your hands thoroughly. Stay home if you feel sick. Please help inform others about the importance of following these public health guidelines so that we can all continue to work, learn and pursue our goals. Over the course of the year, I commit to a communication with you about what you're experiencing. To that end, I will be writing a regular column in the student newsletter to address questions and concerns here from Rackham students and the student organizations who represent you. In addition, we have a long history of town hall dialers at Rackham. We hold four per year, and we will continue to hold these this year. And finally, I will host a state of the graduate school event in mid September that we will invite you to. I'm thankful for the chance to undertake this important work and to serve as Dean of such a varied and academically vibrant community. I'm thankful for the outstanding staff, excellent faculty and devoted colleagues across campus who make our efforts possible. And most of all, I'm thankful that you have chosen to join more than 8500 Rackham students at the University of Michigan for giving shape to the vital issues of our day. Welcome to the next step in your intellectual journey. Thank you. Thank you, Dean Solomon. At Rackham, we care about your success.

Recently, her work has focused on these issues as they relate to, one, broadening participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics for underrepresented groups, and two, reducing students' economic and academic strains in college. Dr. Williams was a former American Educational Research Association, AERA, post doctoral fellow at Educational Testing Service. She also served as a research assistant at the University of Michigan National Center for Institutional Diversity and as an institutional research analyst at Washtenaw Community College. Dr. Williams earned her PhD in higher education and public policy here at the University of Michigan. During her time at Rackham, Dr. Williams was also a member of the prestigious Edward A. Boucher graduate honor society. Greetings. My name is Crystal Williams, and I am currently an assistant professor of higher education at the University of Alabama. I am also a proud graduate of the University of Michigan, where I completed my doctoral studies in the College of Education and the Center for the Study of Higher and Postsecondary Education. It is my pleasure and indeed my honor to be one of the first to welcome you as an incoming graduate student to the University of Michigan and also to extend a heartfelt go blue. You are about to embark upon one of the most important decisions about your professional development, and you could not have chosen a better place to receive a world-class education than the University of Michigan. I've been invited to speak to you on this momentous occasion, and I want to talk a bit about something that is very, very important today. I want to talk about change. Specifically, I want to talk about moving beyond the concept that I refer to as passive activism. In doing so, I also want to give you a few strategies, a few tips to consider for using the multiple resources available on campus to accomplish just that. Let me first say that the other day, if I'm being honest, the past few months, it occurred to me that we are in a moment. We are in a moment where we are struggling with the global implications of a health pandemic. That's fairly obvious, but we're also in a moment where the health pandemic has illuminated the economic pandemic that has long-afflicted low-income communities. Communities that often don't have the luxury of staying at home to slow the spread because they must show up to their low-wage jobs as what we now refer to as essential employees. That is, if they are even still employed, we are in a moment. We're in a moment where the health pandemic has exposed the challenges of public health recommendations to practice social distancing, not just in terms of many individuals' desires to go to bars, to go to restaurants, to do so with or without a mask, and to socialize, but also in terms of multi-generational households, many of which are Black, Asian, or Latinx, where being socially distanced simply is not an option. The parents may have to go to work every day. The children may have recently returned to school where masks are optional and everyone is coming home to an 80-year-old grandparent. CDC recommendations for these families, avoid public transportation, wash your hands when you get home, open a window, don't hug, don't kiss, and don't share food. We are in a moment. We're in a moment where the health pandemic has unearthed racial biases and inequities that have long bubbled under the surface of the land of the free. But are we really free? Are we free in a country where there's been a drastic rise in hate crimes and anti-Asian incidents as a result of the coronavirus and the racist rhetoric from some of our very own elected officials? Are we really free? Are we free in a country that can simultaneously embrace hip-hop culture, jazz, Beyonce, Oprah, Jordan, Kobe, and anti-Blackness racism at the same time? Love the culture, but oppress the people. There's a reason that we say Black Lives Matter. It echoes the sentiments of Sojourner Truth, who is often cited for simply asking Ain't I a Woman in her address at the Women's Rights Convention of 1851? It echoes the sentiments of Black men holding signs that read I Am a Man at the Memphis Sanitation Worker Strike of 1968, a protest that ensued after two of their colleagues were killed while working in inhumane conditions, and the Memphis Department of Public Works refused to compensate those families. Yet in 2020, we still find it necessary to remind people that Black Lives do indeed matter. Are we really free? We are in a moment. So the question becomes, what do we do now? In fact, what will you do in this moment? How will you operate within your sphere of influence to bring about change? I titled this address, Moving Beyond Passive Activism, to encourage a bit of confusion, a moment of reflection, and even some questioning. Passive activism is a phrase that's meant to be provocative. What does it mean to be a passive activist? How can one be both passive and active at the same time? Well, let me offer a definition. Passive activism is the state of being for social justice in principle, but not in action. Stated differently, it is when one embraces social justice in theory, but not indeed. A passive activist may understand that certain jokes may be racially or culturally insensitive, but may shy away from correcting others when such comments are made. Passive activism is a willingness to hashtag equality for all, hashtag BLM and the like, and social media, but an unwillingness to have a difficult conversation around the dinner table when inappropriate, derogatory, or big statements are made. Passive activism is knowing that there are discriminatory practices happening around you. Practices you actually don't agree with, but you decide to remain silent. Running away from the good trouble that the late Congressman John Lewis often noted, it is a persistent failure to use your voice in your platform to bring about change. I want to encourage you to know that the time is now and the moment is here. As an incoming student at one of the top institutions in the world, you have an opportunity and I dare say an obligation to use your experience at the University of Michigan to be the active change agents that the world so desperately needs. If you're an incoming graduate student in the cause of education as I once was, ask the difficult questions about educational disparities. Not simply differences in test scores and other important student outcomes, but probing questions about why those differences exist. What are the opportunity barriers that create those differences? And once you understand those barriers, commit to identifying the solutions that are desperately needed to dismantle those obstructions. If you're a student of computer science within the College of Engineering, consider how technological developments can potentially disadvantage certain groups. For example, what are the implications of increased reliance on facial recognition software that is ill-equipped to identify people from different genders or people from different racial backgrounds? And what can you do to address this issue? Be the change agent. If you happen to be a student of public health, make it part of your personal professional development curriculum on campus to better understand how the economic and social conditions of underserved communities connect to lower health outcomes. A reality that exists today and was quite honestly prevalent even before the current pandemic. But to be sure, it's not enough just to know the correlations with that understanding. I would encourage and I dare say challenge you to connect with your colleagues in social sciences and other fields across campus to craft real solutions for today's and likely tomorrow's problems. Ultimately, in whatever discipline you're pursuing, be the active change agent in your sphere of influence. So with that being said, you may ask, how can you be a change agent? Well, correct question. Here are some specific tips that you may consider doing your matriculation at the University of Michigan and beyond. Tip number one, get involved on campus. Become a member of various student organizations and make social justice a central focus in the programming. That could include inviting faculty or other speakers to talk about their work to improve the social conditions of marginalized groups, or it could include organizing community service activities to help those within the local community. In essence, don't be afraid to use these campus groups as instruments to organize change. Get involved on campus. Tip number two, get involved off campus. In addition to student organizations on campus, there are often student leadership opportunities within the professional societies for many of our disciplines run for those physicians and use those platforms as a way to ensure that your professional societies incorporate social justice initiatives. If not you, then who? Get involved off campus. Tip number three, be an ally. An ally is a person who is willing to act with and for others to dismantle oppression and promote equity. Often this requires leveraging your privilege and your power on behalf of others. Be willing to have the uncomfortable conversations to disrupt the status quo. Be an ally. Tip number four, be uncomfortable or should I say be comfortable being uncomfortable. Step out of your comfort zone and connect with others with whom you might not normally interact. Invite them to your study groups. Invite them to a virtual dinner party or a happy hour, cocktail hour, at a future point in time, invite them to join you to attend the Ann Arbor Art Sphere. The point is to be purposeful about connecting with those who may be different from you. Be uncomfortable. And my final tip, tip number five, start to cultivate a spirit of philanthropy now. To be sure as a graduate student you may not have a lot of disposable income, but you may be able to donate some of your time and your talents to various causes to advance their social justice missions. Alternatively, every little bit helps so even small donations can be impactful. Maybe the cost of a couple of cups of coffee to an organization of your choosing every month. Either way, either of these approaches can help to develop a spirit of philanthropy that will serve you well now and will also follow you beyond your education. Start to cultivate a philanthropic spirit now. As I conclude, I'd like to offer a final point for your consideration. At the University of Michigan, the institutional motto reads, Arts, Knowledge, Truth. While on campus, don't be afraid to seek out the ever elusive truth that we all hope to one day understand. And along that journey, use the information that you gather to facilitate change and to move beyond passive activism. Thank you, welcome, and go Blue. Thank you Dr. Williams. We hope that you have enjoyed Fall Welcome. As this program ends, please be reminded to engage with campus units and organizations today during our virtual organization fair from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. This will give you the opportunity to ask questions, obtain resources, and learn more about all the great offerings present at the University of Michigan. Information with links to the fair will be emailed to you directly and are also available on the Fall Welcome page. Thank you and welcome to Rackham.


Good morning, I know I look like a pink marshmallow. How is everyone doing? Welcome back to my channel I hope you've all been enjoying the weekly vlogs I've really been enjoying filming for you guys and Just being able to show you guys my like a week to week life and a bit more realistic day in the life Vlogs, so yeah, I've been really happy with the feedback that I've been getting to you If you've been enjoying them, then please let me know in the comments Don't forget to leave a thumbs up It actually means so much to me if you could do that right now like so much And if you're not subscribed, please hit the subscribe button so that we can continue to have weekly vlogs together So going back to why I look like a pink marshmallow. I'm going to the gym. It's currently 8 a.m I'm actually off this week So the way my rotor works if you do a set of weekday nights, then you get the weekend off to recover So weekday nights is Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday night through to Friday morning You get the weekend off to recover if you do weekend nights That's Friday Saturday Sunday night through to Monday morning, then you get the rest of the week off to recover And it's kind of like they've culminated some of the zero days we call on the rotor from other places together to create a One-week block so that the trainees like myself can have some time to a Rest and recuperate but be work on things that we might need to work on in our zero days like like portfolio Any conferences or things we want to go to if that happens to fall into that time It is obviously time off, but it's nice Someone is all in one go even if you want to take annual leave the zero days bundled together Works much nicer because it's almost like you get like a week of annual leave without having to take the leave Which I think is nice. So anyway, I'm on my zero week this week And it's quite a fun week today is Wednesday yesterday in the morning I went for breakfast with Celia, which you guys would have seen in the last blog and Took the dog for a walk and then went to the gym and genuinely sat there for four hours and did work before my workout Which was really good and now I'm going for Pilates class which starts in an hour But I'm just gonna take my stuff and do a little bit of life admin beforehand because I'm going to meet some friends for lunch afterwards Well like brunch lunch in town. So that'll be really fun And I can film some content for you guys so I can't wait and Yeah, I'm doing a former class loads of you been asking about my gym routine There's no real like certain this day. I do this this day I do this but mainly what I've been trying to do is go every day and the reason I say that is because I really can't go every day But if I make that my aim in my head, then I end up going four to five times a week And I'm going that many times for mainly mental health reasons. I find it's so good for my mental health I'm so happy when I go to the gym. I'm so positive I've just realized I've been talking that my voice is so croaky morning voice. So I'm really sorry But yeah, I go trying as often as I can because it makes me in such a happier more positive mood and Makes me much more productive in the day and it just feels like an accomplishment when you do it I tend to do weight training and Like I'll warm up with 10 to 15 minutes of cardio Sometimes I warm down with 10 minutes of cardio as well And once a week I try and do a reforma Pilates class. So today is the day for a reforma Pilates It is a burner, but I really enjoy it. Okay, off we go I was trying to film some b-roll and someone just walked past me and another person's we've asked me in the gym Car park. I'm embarrassed Guys, you don't understand the mission. I've been on to try and get a protein shake So my gym didn't have peanut butter for the protein shake So I was like, okay, there's a German the juice five minutes away. I'll just go and get more from there guys It's taking me 15 minutes to find parking in was well I'm not happy about it, but these are gonna get my protein shake now. I Hope it's worth it. This isn't as nice as I remember it the David Lord shake is much better Also rip off this cost me nine pounds You guys chose that what's it called again Yeah That is random fun fact, but that Mario hotel behind me is the one that's featured in the friends episode Also, how cute is this jacket? I want to show you guys my outfit. Let me put my camera down so my jacket is from Reclaimed vintage on a sauce my jeans Zara and then my trainers are Adidas Gazelle's that I got from a sauce the other day, so I've just finished brunch with the girls and Well, we just had tea and then I had to take a meeting for my team project for Harvard So I literally just sat in the cafe my head burns on and joined this meeting and I love my team like everyone's so nice and Everyone's from different like surgical disciplines. One of my team members is even a dentist She's not a medic, but like the course can be for medics and dentists But yeah, we've decided on a project that is regarding teaching for fertility Which is cool because obviously I'm the only guy knee in the group So and they're asking me like loads of questions about stuff And I'm gonna send them like resources of things that we use over here in the UK because my team is all international So it's really cool. I absolutely love it. Anyway, I'm here on Oxford Street now I'm gonna meet sign at my mom and I'm just gonna enjoy exploring the city of it Ventus offer just and a hot minute. I feel like a Tourist but I love that. I feel like when I first started specialty training I had so much more time Come to central London, but now it feels like a luxury So yeah Said hi properly to my blocks in the ages. Guys. I had so much. Oh my god I should say so so done her and busy line. Oh my god. How beautiful. They was like I'm so happy. I love my smile. You look beautiful And I think it's very important. You love your smile. I agree as we are both clients of souls For our emiss a line, I would say I 1,000% recommend her my mom's gonna have whitening now and then bonding. I'm still Deciding whether or not to bond soul thinks I should leave my natural smile as it is But I think I'm probably gonna go for some bonding. So anyway, we're by Harris now We're gonna go inside to the food court and have something to eat. I'm so hungry.  I'll show you and then we're at the new Which for me is incredible because I love And so I'm so excited everyone is trying guys. Here's the the child Center way it did No, we didn't leave you I said from the start by the way, I didn't like ramen that much But my food was delicious. I wanted to try the ramen bar at Harrod I could give you my honest opinion now that the sweet waiters not in front of me because the waiter was so kind lesson but The ramen bar at Selfridges is so much better Like not even comparable. I wouldn't come back to this one. I want to say this one was more expensive So two ramens and an edamame was 80 pounds. I think you could probably get the same We get the same for 40 pounds today me and loud noises is not it Some guy whispered in my ear. Hello Welcome to Burberry and I got really scared because I didn't see him. He was behind me and now the motorbike Basically, I'm really proud of myself. We went to I said we went to the Rambam bar and my mom joined her and then I was like, you know what?   I'm glad if you'd said from the side I'm so happy. I was like, yeah, I'm not gonna get influence like this Hashtag influence anyway guys, you know, I love a ramen like I I love it. Oh You've got sick pictures Oh, I could take it on my camera on this. Yes, okay Let me guys we're gonna use the camera, but it long so short Don't waste your money at this one go to the one itself, which is tonkotsu so much better Sina and I are at the gym I was gonna say your audacity to cool my hair bands. They're plural. There's two I put them in the wash You you sweat it you sweat it on them. Do you not want them to the gym? Yeah, but why did you have to do both at once because they stank? You've got a sweaty head Yeah, we're sat at the gym. I'm doing work. I'm doing portfolio stuff I think I think I'm literally gonna be stuck here until I have to leave and then come back to do my work out at primetime which is stupid, but I Just have so much to do and I woke up so late today guys. I couldn't fall asleep last night So I went to bed so late. I'm Just couldn't fall asleep. Which is like, you know what it was. I think it's that nap that I had I napped for like an hour from no two hours from eight till ten and I Guess that just ruined my Sleep so anyway we're here now and Yeah, I'm doing admin and then we're gonna go work out. I have an appointment and then we come back and work out Yay So I've come back home from the gym I did a really nice gym and spa day after All of that admin that you guys saw me do with Sina and came home Had dinner with the family and then filmed a very Fun video with soul and Sina, which I'm so excited for you guys to see I don't know if you guys can tell but I've literally cried off my makeup.

Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to Unisor Education. We will solve a couple of logical problems today. This is part of the course called MEST Plus and Problems presented on Unisor.com. Totally free website, by the way. No advertisement, no strings, even signing is optional. And on that particular website you can find a prerequisite course for this one, which is called MEST for Teens, and there is a Physics for Teens and there is a Relativity course. So everything is free, as I was saying. So I have relatively completed, I believe, the MEST for Teens course. This is theoretical background for regular school mathematics and, well, maybe a little bit higher, maybe up to the first year of college. And this course, MEST Plus and Problems, is basically the continuation of that course. And it presents certain problems which you will unlikely meet in regular schools. These are problems to force you to think about something. It's not like to check whether you have correctly got the theory part, like some theorem or something like this.  And what I suggest to you is, first I will explain the problem itself and then I will go to solution of this problem. So I suggest you just to pause the video right after I present the problem and think about this yourself. The most important part is for you to think about it. And that's the whole purpose, actually. MEST is the great gem for your brain. And unlikely you will meet anything close to these problems in the real life. But at the same time, the whole course of mathematics is, again, very unlikely you will find something in regular life except like calculations or something like this. But it's a great tool to develop your analytical mind, develop your creativity. So thinking is the purpose of this particular course, MEST Plus and Problems. Okay, so let's go to the problems. As I said, there are two problems. One is easy and another is based on the same thing but a little bit more general. So the first problem is consider a traveler who came to a different country and he would like basically to arrange his staying there. So he's staying in a hotel, pays with a credit card, but he does not have a local currency. However, he has a silver chain. Silver chain has seven links. One, two, three, six, seven. And he has agreed with the restaurant owners where he is going to have seven dinners for seven days that he will pay one link from this chain for every dinner he has. All right, I mean obviously some artificial situation. So the restaurant owner agreed but he said that he liked these links to be basically like cold links, like rings. He doesn't want to cut them basically. But then he has agreed, okay, I can agree to accept one link which is cut. So my question is, how can you arrange cutting only one link out of these seven to be able to pay for seven dinners with one link every time? Okay, so that's where you probably have to pause the video and think about it. And I will give you the solution. The solution is this. So if you will cut this link, you will be able to pay for the first dinner with this link. So these are connected. So this link is cut, so it's disconnected from these two. So for the first dinner, that would be the first. Now, the second dinner, what he can do, he can give two and take one back. So that would be the second dinner. Now, for the third dinner, he can give these two and this one. For the fourth, he will take back these three but he will give these four. For the fifth, he will leave these four and add this one. That would be the fifth dinner. For the sixth, he will take one back but add two of these to these four. And for the seventh, he gives all of them. So as a result, only one link is cut. And we individually pay for each dinner with one ring extra. So that's simple. Now, here is the second problem. Let's assume you have the same chain with n links. And you are making only k cuts. So k links can be cut. And our task is how can we cut it in such a way to basically maximize the number of days you can pay individually one link at a time. So this is much more general problem. And again, pause the video and think about it and I will go into solutions. Okay, so let's assume that we have this n links and we have made k cuts. Well, first of all, immediately following from it is that from the days from number one to number k, we have individual links which we can pay one at a time. So the first k days are covered out of n. Now, what's the next step? Well, using these k links which have been cut, we can pay only with the k days. Now, there is a day number k plus one. So what do we do at day number k plus one? Well, we have to somehow make these cuts in such a way to be able to pay with the number k plus one without any additional cut. Well, what does it mean? If we don't cut anymore, we cannot pay anymore with individual links, right? So our next choice is to have a link, a piece of a chain, a segment of a chain which has k plus one links together. So the first cut of these k should really cut in such a way that you will have one unbroken segment of chain with k plus one links. Let me give you an example. Let's say you have two links cut. So for the first day you give this one, for the second day you give this one. For the third day, which is k plus one, k is equal to two in this case, you need to have three links in one segment, and then you will give these three links and take back two which have been accumulated at the restaurant. So you need three links here together. So now you can do three, then you can do four, you can do five, and what's next? Next is six, and you don't have out of these anything which is six. So six supposed to be the next linked together segment of chain. So one, two, three, four, five, six, all of these should be connected. So you have three of these and six of these. What does it give? Well, it gives you six and five, and six plus one would be seven, plus one would be eight, plus three would be nine if you take back these two, ten would be all of these, three, one, and six, and eleven would be all of these. So for the twelves you need one, two, three, blah, blah, blah, twelve linked together. And that's basically as much as you can do because with two cuts you can have three segments uninterrupted. With K cuts you can have K plus one segments, but no more than that. So with two segments this is what you can do. You can do everything from one to eleven plus, well, to twenty-three. So up to twenty-three days you can have a chain which contains twenty-three links, and you can pay one link at a time for twenty-three days, cutting only two. So with cutting only one you can have maximum seven. With cutting two links you can have up to twenty-three. So what I'm asking is with cutting K links how big the chain can be so you can actually do this payment every link at a time. So you've got the idea. And what's important is that after the first K cuts we can pay for K days and for K plus first we need this one. Okay, now how many days you can pay now? Well, you can pay with K and K plus one. So up to two K plus one you can pay a day at a time. For two K plus two you have no choice basically. So the next segment uninterrupted piece of chain should have two K plus two. So this and this is K, this is K plus one, and this is two K plus two. No, sorry, this one is two K plus two. So if K is two, two K four plus two six exactly six. The same thing as we have here. So having first segment as K plus one link then you have a cut. Then the next segment should be two K plus two then another cut. So what's next? So let's just count K plus one plus one plus two K plus two plus one. How many are all together? It's three K, three K plus one, two, three, four, something like this. Okay, so this is K plus one, which is three. This is one, this is two K, okay. So next one would be, so what can we actually pay right now? In this case we can pay up to eleven, which is four K plus four, is that right? Here it is. We have K, we have K cuts, right? K individual ones. We have K plus one and two K plus one. These have already become two. So it's K plus one plus two K plus two and plus K individual one. One, two, three, four plus three. So up to four K plus three we are covering. So the next segment should have four K plus four. Yes, correct. Okay, now let's check about this twelve. If K is equal to two, two times four plus four, this is twelve. Okay, so that's five. So we are good. So now let's think about next. Let's have the case when you have three cuts. So for three cuts we have K plus one, two K plus two, four K plus four and K, which all together is what? Three, four, seven, eight. Eight plus one, two, four, seven. So this is all together eight K plus seven, which means this one, the next one, is supposed to be eight K plus eight. So you see basically the law is very simple here. It's a geometric progression. You have K plus one as the first member of this geometric progression. And then every time we double this value. So if you have K cuts, you have K plus one segments, right? Cuts are in the middle of the chain, right? If you have K cuts, you have one, two, three in this case, one more segments around these cuts. So we have K plus one segments, which means we have K plus one members of this geometric progression plus K individual links. And that's the total number. So all we have to do right now is to basically count how many links we have if this total number of links is equal to sum of geometric progression and K individual links together. Okay. Now, so what is this geometric progression? The first A is equal to K plus one. The factor of geometric progression is equal to two, right? So this is the first member and this is the multiplier. How many members do we have? Well, if you have K plus one, so we have total number of participants in this geometric progression, which we have to summarize, is K plus one. Since we have K cuts, it will be K plus one members. All right. Now, I do not remember the formula. I'm very bad with formulas, but I do know how to derive formula for geometric progression. So let me just do it right now. So you have A, AQ, AQ square, blah, blah, blah. And the last one would be if it's K plus one members, it should be K plus one, right? This is Q to the first and this is K to the K, sorry, to the K. And that would be K plus one, right? So that's what it is. No, not A to the power of K. It's AQ to the power of K. Okay. How to summarize them? If this is S, you do S times Q equals to what? If you multiply by Q, it would be AQ plus AQ cube, I mean, square. AQ K plus AQ K plus one, right? So if you will summarize them, you will have S plus SQ, sorry, not summarize, subtract SQ minus S. From this, you subtract this. This would be canceling out. You will have AQ K plus one minus A. So S is equal to AQ K plus one minus. Well, I'll take out of parenthesis and this will be Q minus one, right? If you will take S out of parenthesis, it will be Q minus one. This is the formula in my case. Now I have to basically substitute, so it would be Q minus one would be one. So S is equal to K plus one times two to the power K plus one minus one divided by one. Now this is my sum of geometric progression. So these are only segments, plus K individual one, individual links which I have cut in the very beginning. So I will have this plus K, which is K plus one, two to the power of K plus one minus K plus one. That's this one. And plus K equals to K plus one, two to the power of K plus one minus K minus one plus K, so that's minus one. So this is the number of, this is the length of the chain basically, which I can use to pay for this many days If I make K cuts, if I cut K links in the positions which leaves my first segment as K plus one, then cut. Then the second would be K is plus two and cut. And then four K plus K plus four and cut, etc. And the last one would be whatever it is. So this is how we can cut this chain which contains this number of links to be able to pay for that many dinners one link at a time. So that's basically the answer. Now let's check just in case if the formula is correct. Now in case of seven links, we have two together, one cut, and then four together. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Okay, now link is only one cut, so K is equal to one. Okay, let's put the K into this formula. K plus one is two times two square, that's four, that's eight minus one, seven. Right, seven links. Okay, when we had two cuts, we had three here, we had six here, and we have twelve here. So it's three plus one plus six plus one plus twelve, which is ten, eleven, twenty-three. Okay, if K is equal to two, two plus one, that's three times two to the power of three, which is eight minus one, twenty-four minus one, twenty-three. So formula seems to be correct, and we have derived this formula using whatever the logic we were just discussing. Okay, so basically, let me just say it again, you will never have this type of a problem in the real life. However, again, the seeking solutions to these type of problems really is very, very important for developing your own creativity, which you can use somewhere else in real practical problems. And that's the reason for this particular course, Mass Plus and Problems. Now, within this course, I have a certain number of parts. This is the part which is called logic, and this is the number four lecture in this part logic. There is arithmetic, there is algebra, there is geometry, so you go to the website, and basically in any order, the previous course, the mass for teens, is logically arranged with menus and sub-menus, etc., etc., so you have to really go sequentially because everything is related to whatever was before. In this case, I'm using all that theoretical knowledge which have been accumulated in the mass for teens course, and here I just present problems absolutely unrelated to each other, so you can solve them in any sequence you want. Okay, that's it for today. Thank you very much and good luck.


Bond James Bond I'm watching it for the first time on the bail bonds. We would the first ever like doctor now Sean Connery like Sean Connery. I've never seen any of any of them Yeah No, you've never seen any Sean. I I've only ever seen Daniel Craig My wife is very disappointed as well. Don't worry Hey, welcome back to our stupid Yeah, she my wife grow my wife grew up with bond like Sean Connery Pierce, Brazzlin all those all those Corbin, yeah, no, I never never saw any of them not because I my parents my parents never I think it's something your parents show you my parents never did I Think you're absolutely right because when I grew up My dad was excited for all of the new Bond films that would come out each year and then when they went on cable We watched them. So that's that's how my wife got into it as well. Yeah, I'd never seen it You didn't get to be a part of the uproar when they cast a blonde James Bond and everybody was freaking out No, that's it's completely idiotic, too But yeah, I'm going through that anyways, that's all this is about guys Oh, you know why you're here you saw the title. We are here for the trailer of Sardar Udam Directed by a Surjit Sikhar whom we've seen many of his films fantastic director starring Vicky Gershaw They just released a teaser like a day ago. I think I need to talk to some of these people in India about marketing Like I don't understand the point in releasing a teaser and then the day after that Basically releasing the trailer like at least do it within like once like once a week and then the week before release Yeah, not like a day after each other. I don't understand that But still I'm very excited and it is we I asked you I was like, is it the same massacre that we got to see? In Amaritsar it is that massacre That we learned about in a video and we we didn't get to go because it was closed that day We were in Emirates are yeah, but it's about that story One of those stories. So it should be very very good. Hopefully it comes out October 16th. Are you ready? Ready make sure your subs are on Yep Three two one It's great look so far The cinematography so far is fantastic I just got the chills on that last shot there Knowing what that what actually happened there that we learned about Yeah, what a fantastic trailer. Holy cow. That looks Amazing that looks um One massive but also the cinematography and the costume and set design looks production design Oscar worthy is what it looks like Oscar worthy production design. It looks It looks as good as any trailer We would see here during the fall for a film that's in contention for the awards. This thing looks beautiful. Yeah, it does like it Because sometimes you'll see stuff like that's clearly a set that I think they were one filming right look like they were filming on location and on location the Costuming it looked all authentic for the time in London or India wherever they were It looked really authentic and this is a story that I'm sure all of you guys know We only know a little bit about it from this videos We've seen and what people have told us about the massacre part the pre part about the stuff in London I have zero zero clue Uh, what any of that's going on? So You guys might all know exactly like the build up like it like we said in the teaser Like if this was like a story about JFK assassination or whatever we'd know basically all the points that they're gonna hit But I I know I know nothing about what what's gonna happen and I will say this The white people looked good That was the very next thing I was gonna say when you were done I was gonna say thank you for investing in white actors that clearly know how to act because I'm encouraged by what we saw. I mean I and I think some of them I recognize honestly Some of them looked like they were like supporting. I don't know if they went um, if this is also an associated with single With the bbc maybe one of them Every single one of them. It's very clear. They invested and they cast Actors that look like they know what they're doing it everything about that trailer that exceeded my expectations Absolutely looks fantastic Honestly from the opening of it because you could just what the like they said the set design and the cinematography of it It just looks like oh, this is gonna be a good fit. It almost looked like, you know, the the cinematography and peeky blinders Uh, and and the and the style that because that's almost I guess I don't know if it's around the same time, but it's the old london Um, yes feel of it, right and it they gave me that same vibe. It could be in that same world even Yeah, right off the bat the creative team costuming set design Everybody who worked on location stuff Uh, the lighting the cinematography the acting everything across the board on this looks top notch top notch um I'm hoping it's going to be as as good As it looks, um, it comes out what These two because that trailer that trailer is leading me to believe that this is this is film festival worthy This is well one it's It's kind of not hard to believe that right one. It's vicky, right? He's vicky's a fantastic actor I was just talking I was just talking about this on twitter I think he'd actually make a really good bond if they made a bond at india I think he would be a a fantastic bond um, but and then you got this director whom We've loved almost all of his stuff, especially like pikku and pink If if it's anything like pink and pikku that obviously it would definitely be a award worthy style of film Yeah, really would and it it carried Even different like um, it just looks so real like when we watched a bumshek bakshi The the period in that looked it looked a bit stylized in the way a comic book is stylized It was very nice and I have no complaint. This looks like they're going for The kind of realism that like um any period piece the most recent one being uh The bridge uh spielberg's movie uh bridge of spice bridge of spice. Yeah, bridge of spies Yeah, this just it looks like the art direction production design costuming and everybody was on point for this thing for its period Yeah, and I did forget that surjit uh surjit uh did direct globo sotabo Which we didn't fully get but I think it's because we just didn't get the comedy of it Um, I think I I think I remember us saying that it was like it was a good like There was nothing blatantly wrong all the acting was good and it was just we just It was kind of boring Um, and I think that was our our gripe with it Um, right, right, but but I totally forgot he actually directed that one. Um But those three globo sotabo pink and piku those are all contemporary Yeah, um, this is this is a whole other ball of wax and my only you know The only thing now at this point would be When any period piece you see you're hoping that the creators are doing justice and telling the story as it truly transpired And we're getting real history not a rewrite. Yeah, um, it's what you Yeah, I'm excited. I'm a great great trailer Indian revolutionary better known for you. Uh, so it takes place Uh, who was behind the jojo massacre in 1919 Okay, uh, the story set out how so just survived the massacre on the day. Okay Um, yeah, I got chills on the end part when because you could tell they were going down that alley, which we saw the alley Uh, but we didn't we didn't get to actually go in sadly We there's one things we were going to do but it was closed that day, unfortunately But you you know what happened because we've seen a video and we got enough people telling us exactly what happened that That's something awful to happen They have that um sculpture outside in honor of of the martyrs You know with all those faces on it that yeah, so yeah, I agree. That looks great big expectations Highly highly looking forward to this. So it looks like even for for spooky month We're gonna get one one exception probably Because this comes out october 16th, but other than that we're still in spooky month Now so let us know. Uh, what else we need to know about it without spoiling anything down below
