In the last segment of what we did is we took the governing equations and we performed Reynolds averaging to them and we came up with expressions and came across the turbulent stresses and these are things that make it difficult for us to solve for the velocity profile, mean velocity profile in turbulent flow fields. But it turns out that we can make orders of magnitude estimates here and we can eliminate some terms and so that's what we're going to look at now and we're going to come up with velocity profiles that enable us then to move in the direction of getting the friction factor for turbulent pipe flow. And so it turns out that when if we're looking at duct flow such as pipe flow or boundary layer flow the minus rho u prime v prime term is the most dominant turbulent stress and consequently the governing equation specifically the Navier-Stokes equation can be written the following manner as an approximation. And what I've done here is I've left the last term in terms of a shear stress and the reason for that is when we're dealing with turbulent flows such as duct flow or boundary layer flow we'll approximate the shear stress as being a combination of a laminar contribution and a turbulent stress contribution. And so we have tau laminar plus tau turbulent. So a lot of this work took place back in the 1920s, 1930s and what the researchers found was that the laminar shear is mainly right near the wall and for that reason they often refer to this as being the wall layer or wall region and it's how turbulent that dominates further out and that is referred to as being the outer region or outer layer. And so if you look at the velocity profile with a turbulent velocity profile and you look at the shear stress you can break it into a laminar and a turbulent component and so that's what the researchers did years and years ago and so what we're going to do let's draw that out. So if we're to look at the turbulent stresses in the velocity profile for either pipe flow or a flat plate boundary layer what we find is that there's the viscous wall layer and that's where the viscous shear dominates then we move into an overlap region which is in here and that's where you both have turbulent stress as well as viscous stress being important and then you get into the outer turbulent layer where the layer where the turbulent shear stress is the thing that dominates. So if we were to write this out we have wall layer we have the outer layer and that would be where the turbulent shear dominates and then we have the overlap region or overlap layer and that's where both of them are important. So both laminar and turbulent shear is important. So what we're going to do is we're going to proceed forward and I'll show you three different velocity profiles that were developed back in the 1930s by Millican, von Karman and Prandtl and in order to do this we're going to drop the bar from u-bar so from the velocity tau wall equals wall shear stress delta which I've shown in this picture here is the boundary layer thickness and capital U is velocity at edge of the boundary layer. Okay so we're going to use those things and what Prandtl and von Karman and Millican did is they went through and they came up with velocity profiles a lot of this was using dimensional analysis as well as experimentation but a velocity profile for the wall layer was developed by Prandtl, Ludwig Prandtl, he was at Göttingen when he did this and this was in 1930 and he came up with an argument saying that the velocity in the layer was a function of the viscosity which it would be in the wall layer the wall shear stress the density of the fluid and the distance away from the wall and using dimensional analysis he was able to come up with a thing called the law of the wall and he used transform coordinates so he took the velocity and he divided by this u star which is called the friction velocity which I'll define in a moment and he found that that was equal to a function of y the friction velocity again and then the kinematic viscosity and this term here he denoted as y plus so he gave that a transform coordinate and then u star was equal to tau wall so the wall shear stress divided by density to the one half and this is the friction velocity and so this here is equation one and it's also known as law of the wall and so that was Ludwig Prandtl 1930 his student was Theodore von Karman and and they were competing with one another quite often in terms of deriving these equations and and they von Karman he was probably at Aachen when he developed this so it was after he left being a student of Ludwig Prandtl and von Karman incidentally eventually came to the U.S. and started the Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory at Caltech where he was very instrumental in the starting of it but he came up with the velocity profile for the outer layer so this is where turbulence shear is important and again dimensional analysis that's really all that they had at their disposal other than that and experimental data which at the time was not the greatest but they accomplished great things with what they had so dimensional analysis and von Karman was able to come up with this relationship and he did scaling based on the boundary layer thickness that's delta there this is equation two and this is referred to as being the velocity defect law so we have law the wall we have velocity defect law and that was in the outer region or the outer layer and then in the middle the overlap region this was investigated by a fellow named Milliken and he looked at pipe flow as well as channel flow and in about 1937 he came up with a velocity profile again using Ludwig Prandtl's friction velocity and y prime coordinate so he came up with this relationship and here k is equal to 0.41 and b he said was 5.0 and that was based on the experimental data that he had these numbers are constantly being fine tuned as people get more and more data for boundary layers turbulent boundary layers but in here the he also defined a u plus which was velocity divided by the friction velocity and he had a y plus which was y times the friction velocity divided by nu remember the friction velocity was our shear stress at the wall divided by density square root of that and consequently what Milliken was able to come up with was this expression and this we will call equation three now it turns out that this is the equation that applies for quite a bit of the boundary layer and it's a quite representative of the velocity profile for a turbulent boundary layer and consequently that is what we are going to use as we move into the next segment where we will look at developing a relationship for the friction factor for turbulent flow but it is quite remarkable when you look at all the things that von Karman Milliken and Prandtl were able to do this was all based on dimensional reasoning dimensional analysis and experimentation but give them credit they did not have the fancy tools that we have nowadays with time-resolved particle image of law symmetry laser Doppler of law symmetry even hot wire anemometry and if they did it was very very primitive electronics that were involved in those systems so those are the regions we are going to use this one as we move into coming up with a relationship for the friction factor which we'll do in the next segment


And of course, as always, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, depending on where you are. Thanks so much for joining us here at our Hyperledger Healthcare Special Interest Group. This is our general meeting for December 13th of 2019. And as always, please remember that this is a recorded session. And always, and I say this all the time, we do have an antitrust policy in place for the Linux Foundation. And I'll slide over to there. And you should be able to see that. Is everyone seeing my desktop, by the way? Yes. Perfect. So the antitrust policy, basically, if you read through it, it really means just be a good person. There are details that you want to go through. Feel free to follow the URL. And as always, if you have questions, let me know or read the full depth of the antitrust policy for details. So we have a couple of folks that, at least to me, are new. And it'd be great, well actually, most people I think I've met before. But if you're interested in introducing yourself, now would be the time to do so. And actually, John, can we have you introduce yourself? I think you're probably newer to the group. Sure. So my name is John Walker. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, in East Bay, actually. And I've been working with, obviously, Linux Foundation projects for several years. But this most recent interest in asserted ledgers and permission to blockchain. So I've been working on and with the Hyperleisure Fabric development effort and implementing examples of that. My background is in large enterprise integration projects, semantic web work. So a lot of data quality and data semantics. So I'm interested in the blend of rich data semantics and having those captured where appropriate on distributive ledgers. So that leads me to my work with the SIG patient group. And that's it. Oh, very cool. And John, did you say you work directly in the healthcare space? I've been working in, basically, high tech mostly. And so I'm new to the healthcare space. Oh, great. Well, great to have you. Are you part of a company or a consulting group? I have a small company, a small consulting company based here in San Francisco. I have two partners, so it's a small consulting effort. If you're interested, the reason why I ask is we have a membership directory. I'll bring that up right here and feel free to add your name to the membership directory. Just it's a great way for people to sort of connect and sort of, you know, get together for really for business reasons, sometimes social, but mostly for business reasons. I'll take advantage of that. Thank you. Great. Thanks. And thanks for participating as well. And I don't want to steal your way from the patient subgroup, but we also have a healthcare interoperability subgroup, and they tend to focus on some issues with semantic interoperability. And so, and this is all in the healthcare context. So that may be something of interest to you as well, but don't walk away from the patient subgroup on my account. I'll check it out. Next, I think I've kind of, I've sat in on a couple of their sessions, so I'm trying to, again, just orient myself correctly. Oh, very good. Oh, great to have you. Thanks. I do no comments. I'm sorry, Dennis. I do no comments. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Is there anyone else on the call that like to introduce themselves that maybe is new or would just like to let everyone know what you do and where you're from? Yeah. Let me do a short introduction. So my name is Ehor and I'm from Ukraine. I'm an investigator. I do participate and as an investigator in clinical trials. And I'm a physician, I'm a doctor. I've been in this field, in the field of clinical trials for about 10 years, more than 10 years. I've been through about 50 clinical trials through this and currently we have in our side about 10 clinical trials. So I'm here for perspective of practical usage of any aspects of the health care that goes to clinical trials and pharmacy and sponsor clinical trials. Excellent. Oh, great to have you. And I think you're going to be speaking with Dennis on the presentation as well, huh? Yep. Fantastic. Well, great to have you on the call. Before we move on, is there anyone else that would like to introduce themselves? Kent, will you say a few words about you? Cool. My name is Kent. I'm in Hong Kong. I studied in the UK. I'm a registered pharmacist and also I did a PhD in Pharmaceutical Research and some training in the pharma industry. Then I went to Japan to do my postdoc and to work on some anti-cancer drugs. And then I realized that I needed to apply for a patent and I had no idea, so I studied law and now I'm studying blockchain because I feel that blockchain can be a tremendous benefit for healthcare and a big game changer. So I'm helping the patient's subgroup to lead the fabric development. And we've recently contributed some simple dev networks on the Hyperledger Labs repo. Thank you. Excellent. Oh, great. Thank you so much and great to have you on the call. Again, Kent, I think we maybe had met some meetings ago and great to have you participating. Thank you so much. Thank you. Alrighty. So is there anyone else that would like to introduce yourself before we move on? Hi, everyone. I'm Alex See and invited me to join you during the presentation and discussion. So I'm a blockchain developer and I'm a CEO of the Blaze Tech. We are working preferably on the public blockchains and have a great expertise in it, but we have Hyperledger and a little bit Corda. So I think we can bring value to the project and first of all, yeah, I would like to know more about the project. Excellent. Well, thank you, Alex See, so for participating as well and welcome and great to have you on the call. Thanks. Alrighty. Well, let's get started. We've got one community announcement I'd like to share, which is our Hyperledger Global Forum and I'll swing over to that very quickly. So that's happening at the beginning of next year also in March. This is in Phoenix, Arizona. And so for anyone that hasn't already thought about getting involved, this is really our Hyperledger sort of a large meeting for the year and we still have opportunity for participation either as a Hyperledger member or non-member and of course as an individual and so forth and so all the information is up on the screen there. One note is dates are changing very soon. So for those that want to get involved, we have just a few more days before the legs start to go up. So okay, with that said, I'll introduce Dennis Koskan. He is our chair of the HC-SIG patient subgroup and he and his team are going to present today on some very interesting work they're doing in the world of e-consent, pharmaceutical e-consent, but I'll just say e-consent and the team is looking to use both Hyperledger fabric and sawtooth in the development of their solution and they have really, they're really moving very, very swiftly. So I'm very excited to present one of our own subgroups here to membership today. And with that said, Dennis, I'm going to fire up our PDF and feel free to sort of take over and as I'll get set up here. Thank you very much, Rich. This is a great opportunity and thanks for the organization. And I think since July this year, we made three steps and it was only possible with the team, with the contribution of individuals. Can you move to the next slide? Sure. So we were always making jokes that Kent is going to sleep and John is waking up. Kent is working in each meeting and John is in California. There's almost 10 hours difference in the group and without these individuals, it was not possible to do the stage we came. Thanks a lot and I take granted this opportunity thanks to the team very much. And I look forward to the next steps and results. This is a great, I put also the LinkedIn profiles in the presentation and we put also the GitHub for the further consideration of our improvement in the hyper-legion labs. To the next one, please. So there are challenges in healthcare and one of them and getting more important is the compliance. I took also an example for the MetTech, which is very much part in Europe. There are so many small and middle companies, not only the bigger providers and especially with the consolidated medical advice regulation from the European Union, there will be lots of other regulative requirements, which makes the life of different providers very difficult. And also the GDPR compliance. I'm talking about Europe because I live in Switzerland and for the whole European Union and region for the pharmaceutical and for the MetTech providers there are challenges. So with the growing compliance, longer time to market and the development cost. To the next one, please. So if we focus on the clinical trials, we have also other challenges, not only the compliance, we have the data interoperability as Rich pointed out. One of our subgroup is also focusing on interoperability and we have a great guy leading the subgroup and we are also communicating and I was also promoting his meetings to our group and data process security for the clinical trials, traceability, scalability and most important integration, data privacy, portability and all together these are the challenges for the clinical trials process and for the providers themselves. So the next one, please. So we made a table to put more visuals for the interested people, how complex and distributed the process in clinical trial is and there's an immense amount of data flow. And for that slide I'll give the word to Ihor. Thank you, Dennis. So with this slide we'd like to present how the clinical trials are built and what they consist of. So the clinical trial process itself may take in some cases up to 20 years but it starts from 7, 10 years up to 15, maximum 20, it's rare cases. So and each clinical trial must consist of different phases, starting from the laboratory phase or pre-clinical phase which would be done in labs and then proceeding to the clinical trials done with humans. So it's starting from phase one and ending phase four and the phase one would be only on healthy individuals without the targeting disease that the drug is used for and the phase two, three and four would be for individuals having the disease where the phase two, sorry, would be the trial where the main dosage would be discovered so there would be several different doses and after the phase two the main idea is to have one or two doses most effective for the particular drug. The phase three would get the maximum number of patients before the FDA approval because all the clinical trials usually have the mission of having the FDA approval and the phase four would be on the market so the drug would be already used and already approved but still for extra issues that could be raised during first phases then this could be solved and done in phase four. So if speaking about the numbers so we would have the patients it's up to but I mean it's just to show numbers so phase two would have up to 800 patients and phase three may have up to 1,000 patients worldwide including in the trial and the number of signs can be up to 100 or 80 in phase two and the duration may differ from two to five years and here if they're talking about the e-consent then you have to understand that all the patients must sign the consent paper or e-consent that matter before entering the clinical trial so you have to understand that it will be up to 1,000 signatures during only one phase of the trial maybe more also you have to count that if there will be change of the version of the protocol during this this will require an extra ICF signing process and this will double the number if the patient is in the trial at that time. Next slide please Rich. So clinical trial is very much distributed and very much time consuming bureaucratic process we analyze the whole clinical trial process and find out the e-consent informed consent process is the most repeating and also time consuming process in the whole chain. The next question is if you have a solution to accelerate the whole flow how they integrate with the existing system whether the legacy systems and we have also in the team discussions how we can achieve that and I think this is also one of the possible strategic objectives of hyperledger community how we can integrate different solution hyperledger solutions in the existing landscape so our solution is the next slide please is the enterprise blockchain so validation of the efficiency better process efficiency with the regulators love cost process and redefine the process with the structure with the governance of the blockchain and we also want to deliver the GDPR compliance here security and data production so in order to do that you have to consolidate and integrate the distributed landscape and close the open end processes which exist in the clinical trial process in the clinical trial ecosystem many times so we want to achieve better compliance security trust automation transparency in mutability with the blocks integration of the stakeholders and deliver to the sponsors investigators and more faster process flow integrated process flow and also put the patients in the middle of the whole process next slide please so we have two examples Kent could you take the first one sure so in my work during in the pharma industry we were working on drug patents and the trend now because the clinical trials take so long typically up to 20 years the full lifetime of the pattern monopoly that most pharma companies are going for pattern extensions so working backwards we we can calculate that typically for blockbuster drugs all the big ones which make the most money that's every day saved that we can make an extra 17 million US dollars on average and so we're trying to use blockchain to make a more efficient system to put the documentation easily to hand and also to create autism all the stability and we think it's a much more efficient process thank you exactly thank you Kent and one of the longest longest clinical trials is in the oncology between 10 to 15 years or 20 years and if you calculate for the sponsors it takes it costs lots of effort and also cost and if we calculated all for optimistic understanding of the clinical trial for oncology drug development 15 years duration and every year 20 to under 20 days and if they give to a clinical trial the Sierra clinical research organization which cost very optimistically 15 000 US dollars per day and if they buy the data from a learner or epic it will also cost another for the patient data amount it all together a very humble number of 100 million USD so if you accelerate the whole clinical trial by cutting the inefficient and also non communicative interfaces you can minimize and cost the effort and the duration of the whole clinical trial minimum 20 percent so you can imagine if you use only for one if for one trial for one drug you will have a saving of 25 million very optimistically for many trials you can say even more and for one drug you have multiple trials for to come to the market next slide please so our value proposition is the distributed plagiarist technology is not a new one we have already in the last 10 years 15 years and with the existing technology and existing challenges we want to develop a non-existing patient-centric solution which is not available at the moment even with the legacy systems we believe that it is merely not really very much the data driver it is very much the documentation driver so with the use of artificial intelligence iot and blockchain all together you can deliver a big benefit to the healthcare industry and we put the patients in the middle and the biggest benefit for the pharma companies it's not only the cost it's also time to market which is very much important in the days of gene therapy and also the whole communication for the patient and the consent of it and the communication is also very important in the days of the regulation with the compliancy and we want to also put that use case in the collaboration with different organizations to see the results next slide please so we have some assumptions with our use case and thanks our team we have the first POC in the in our scope we will give some more details in the next slides we assume that our investigator is a hospital with a patient initial consent hand for that trial we have no other sites and the next challenge for our team is implementing the protocol the clinical trial protocol in the smart contracts so this will be a very time-consuming development for all of us and the different subject matter experts in clinical trials and smart contracts are very much welcome to join us the as you see in the previous slide which iHOR presented the multiple consent cost much of time and based on the adverse event and the protocol changes this consent needs a cure and the patient must be also very much part of the whole blockchain so another big challenge is the include and exclude criteria in the protocol how we implement in the whole process flow for e-consent this is also one of the topics we are discussing now next slide please so this is the scope of the whole and IHOR will talk about the initial scope and for the next steps thank you yeah thank you so I'll be talking only about this mark thread part of this slide so each clinical trial so the patient to enter the clinical trial the first thing he must do and you can as an investigator you cannot do anything else before he does this so he must sign the informed consent it doesn't particularly right now doesn't matter which type of the informed consent he will sign so it must be or paper or e-consent but this is the first thing that the clinical trial for the patient will start with and before that you have to choose particular patients that run so-called pre-screen check and to understand whether the patient is at the first part before signing the informed consent would be good for the clinical trial or not and this is very tricky process because you cannot ask the patient for any new information because it will be a part of the clinical trial and you have to run this pre-screen check with all the all the data that you have at that time and you cannot take any new information enough to to to to to get the new information before signing and starting the screen procedures of the starting the informed consent the pre the pre-screen check would be done by the protocol inclusion exclusion criteria and then after running this pre-screen check this will lead to the next step where the potential candidates will be or chosen for the next step or lost because they do comply with some of already known protocol inclusion inclusion criteria. All this process usually is done by the investigator who is assigned by the sponsor for the particular clinical trial before signing before having the informed consent it must be approved by the IRB the institutional review board and it must give its approval for the process and for the particular version of the protocol in particular version of the informed consent. The e-consent now it is pretty rare thing so it is used currently in the clinical trials we do use in for example in our current 10 trials only in one trial we do use an e-consent but still the signature process of putting the signature on the paper is done by hand so the e-consent here is used mostly for capturing the whole process how long does it take for the patient to read the consent that the patient had any questions and so on but as for now it's a very rare thing to happen and the most more than 90 percent of the clinical trials here in Europe in Ukraine particularly but also in Europe they mostly more than 90 percent use only the paper versions of the informed consent and the whole process is being distributed only by the paper so afterwards you have to document everything that was done each question that was raised and all the time was spent during all the visits before the patient signed the informed consent and during the signing of the informed consent so the idea of having the e-consent not only on the blockchain but any e-consent is very new and still it is very rarely used but as we understand and as we see in the next five years I think the majority of the clinical trials will use the e-consent thank you thank you next slide please so this was the existing scope and we want to reach mid of 2020 the other process which is defined in the pictures and the most important two challenges are the implementation of the protocol into smart contracts and in the transactions and the whole integration between this process frequency next slide please so we are also orienting our solution to the existing audiences we have target audiences in pharma investigators cros patient data providers and patient recruiters very important and we want to also have the possibility have the implementation in all these possible sponsors and possible implementations and we also understand their requirements very much that's why we need it took almost two months the previous slide the pictures we have to understand the existing landscape and the requirements of the different stakeholders next slide please so can't can you sure so we are currently attempting to pursue this scope with a sawtooth and fabric and the our our developments can be used not just within clinical trials but also in general in a general healthcare setting but also can be extended in a consumer consent setting as well so this is quite I would say progressive because I've I've never seen fabric compared directly against sawtooth and a lot of people say you can't do that and we we have we are very lucky because we have fabric and sawtooth developers on the team so we decided in the end let's just try and see and see what are the advantages of managers problems and maybe we can actually have some sort of a hybrid so I met I met Brian Bellendorf the CEO of Hyperledger he came to Hong Kong I think maybe two months ago and he was saying that the future of Hyperledger is going to be a hybrid of the different platforms and with that in mind I think this will be a really really interesting project to maybe compare and contrast but also maybe try and attempt that hybrid as a future possibility thank you thank you next slide please so based on that use case which we want to compare defined and fixed scope and compare in two frameworks the first solution the big picture was defined by Alex Alex can you take the word yeah hello hello can you hear me yes I can I can hear at least yeah good so this is this is a diagram shows blockchain architecture how clinical trial works and it includes all many meaningful components which work with EHR models and serial data in the also EET data all this information is moved to clinical trial and the process it according to according to workflow developed by smart contract and also it is all is managed and driven from web client side and just to follow consensus between all participants in this network all the notes in this blockchain network interact to each other so thank you thank you next slide please can you take the word please and count together have the trunk in your first sure so in looking at the basically addressing this the overall use case looking at it from a fabric perspective we thought we could take advantage of the channels the channel capability and basically subdivide the visibility of the different operating entities in this case we basically there would be a patient the data management an oversight a regulatory an investigator a CRO or clinical research organization and the sponsor and those each of those entities were orgs would have their own certificates of authority so basically they would have their own authentication and authors really authorization onto the channel onto the channels and so we would be able to separate we were able to leverage fabrics architecture again to separate out the different data requirements basically in the separation of visibility and so by writing the contract for the different roles the appropriate parties would be able to to see just there you know their part in the overall trial consent and we would be able to provide as we can see in the the oversight role acts visibility across all channels so that was the idea to to leverage kind of again this inherent design capability that's in sawtooth and obviously via the smart contracts we're able to if you look at the the bottom of the diagram we're able to control access right of any data or or any user via via the security in smart contracts so we're able to basically separate out just those events and data that are associated with the the consent onto the channels and not have a I don't have to worry about kind of the mix and match of authentication either from other legacy systems or other ongoing data and process flows so that was kind of the design premium that we saw with with fabric Jen so I just wanted to point out some of the salient features for example with fabric there was a feature called private data collection where data that gets put on the in the ledger can have a preset lifetime and after that expiry date the data gets deleted so this is quite unusual for blockchain in general and for GDPR compliance and for the patient's willingness to comply and and joining the trial this feature is very very important to us in in this design and so we envisage that at the beginning in the middle in the patient channel the channel the first layer that will come as a private data collection and with the fabric architecture in the back end we use couch DB and the each node will have each peer will have its own couch database but within the database it will be segregated so that each channel will have its not only have its own container but the private data service itself will be segregated and another feature of the private data collection is that the data can data throughput can be increased a lot because you can self-certify in that the anything you any transaction you put through the private data service gets does not need to go through the order or require other endorse endorses so we see that at the beginning now we're just looking at a register simple register system and then we get to advance to more complex smart contracts but if we try and think further ahead then IOT and patient monitoring is going to be a big feature in healthcare and that high volume of data throughput is going to require some modification thank you thank you Kent thank you John maybe just a small remark from our discussions we see the hyper ledger the blockchain now the back end we see as a middleware in the architecture and we are looking to also the indivision in the future keep the blockchain in the middle for the whole communication and transformation and it is also important about the GDPR compliance the data must not kept in the blockchain itself and if you have you cannot change it you click you are not allowed to keep in the blockchain article 19 so this these are the two considerations we discuss in the architecture and then I give the work to Alex for the software architecture thank you I'm sorry rich next slide please thank you yeah so here we described it in a simple way how our solution would look like using hyper ledger to the blockchain framework so this is the gram as simple as possible and it includes all many many components so from left side you may see different clients can interact to Satus node which is a part of blockchain network and all these clients it doesn't matter what the eyes are mobile application or website or IT device etc so each client interacts with our current component which provides API it is not a blockchain part but raise them back end that implements business logic and this on this component interacts directly to blockchain components like validator in Satus this is main component that provides consensus between all blockchain nodes in the network and every validator has its own set of smart contracts to this component some of them are standard Satus components with specific configuration like consensus engine settings and here on this diagram you may see two custom smart contracts developer develop it particularly to cover a constant use case in Satus first component is responsible to manage and provide permissions that is to data so this component is responsible to create accounts and link to specific roles and permissions and the second smart contract is basically responsible to manage data related to patient and counseling and of course every Satus node is a part of the blockchain network that consists of similar nodes thank you we need to present Alex and Grogoire which are the main contributors for the solution of softtooth and we want to go over to the demo because they produce they they delivered the first version of the poke the only thing is we initially planned 20 minutes for the presentation 20 minutes for the demo and 20 minutes for the Q&A and the question is we have only 13 minutes left should we go to Q&A or should we go to demo or we can have another session for the demo at Q&A Dennis give me a few minutes to show me a proof of concept it will not take too much time I will be sure no problem but we can go over to Q&A to collect the feedbacks and remarks and also recommendations from the call attenders our objective of today for to create a discussion platform all together let me skip the demo part today Alex and go to the Q&A okay okay looks reasonable yeah I agree with you and Alex Rich what do you say yeah I think we should probably move to Q&A and we can always have a demo set up for one of the next upcoming HCC general meetings sir sir wonderful thank you so the questions to the community and the participants are open yeah this is actually an excellent presentation so thank you very much for all the work you guys put in pulling this together it really shows in a sense how you can leverage blockchain into a clinical trial process which is quite nice um specifically I did have a couple of questions I can see the way the fabric the design was laid out conceptually I'll say the use of channels from your point of view is primarily to uh quote segregate different application flows you know the patient flow that you can send and so on which is very consistent and then you talk about the private data advantages and so on I assume when you look at um in a sense integrating data between the channels you're really looking at that at the um I'll quote the application client layer um which is you know above the smart contract layer so it's not contract to contract that's really the client agent level is that correct yes at the moment sorry sorry go ahead please go ahead okay um so we have another um fabric contributor called Anil and he has experience in fintech exactly replicating this architecture before fintech setting and uh Jim you're right at the moment uh they are using uh a higher an outside layer that's one of the problems which we want to ideally keep the data inside the blockchain network and when they're trying to figure out how to do that at the moment so any suggestions we really don't have great solutions for what I call update interoperability use cases you know you can throw away channel hopping you know the the double sided transaction for bitcoin kind of thing get rid of that exactly generic solution we don't have anything there the only two other quickies one is every time you do a blockchain architecture um there's a difference between what I call a logical network and a physical network in the physical network you throw it out there and say okay who are actually going to where is this thing going to run who are the host organizations they're actually going to host nodes on the network for peers but then separate from that you actually have a logical organization that has nothing to do with the actual physical operation of the blockchain if you will and I don't actually see sort of I didn't see a slide for that but I know that in a sense conceptually that exists so I'll say you know who knows who the hosting organizations are and the peers and all that other stuff physically say in my fabric example but above that you would say hey here's all the labs we want to integrate and all the other organizations but that's a logical layer does that make sense that there's sort of a closed slide that doesn't show that from a deployment architecture perspective yes yes I think we're going to have to face the deployment when we get there without that slide what happens is people get confused because they go it happens all the time to me people always go oh so I'm gonna have to run a blockchain in my office here no no no no you're not you're not to be a an organization hosting the chain you're not gonna be a peer but you are on the network as an organization just not at the physical level you're a logical organization if you will and then the only other thing I'll ask is do you guys have any generators you're using for any of the different layers in here you know for as an example the rest apis and stuff like that have you looked at using any generators in the fabric case not yet no not yet okay all right well thank you thank you this has been awesome wonderful thank you Jim very very good comments thank you Jim for the uh feedback any other questions guys so we have still nine minutes we can go to demo okay so let's start from them yeah sorry so can we finish it in 18 seconds yes I think so okay can you share your screen yes I'm requesting remote control yep here we go you should have access can you see my desktop can you see my desktop uh not yet no no one second so it looks like so it looks like we may have a I hear lots of uh so we may want to hold off on the uh the demo I'm getting an air message on my side for sharing so I mean we may we may want to hold off on the demo Dennis and Saul next time uh it shows me that I cannot uh share my screen because another person sharing yeah let me let me try to stop share on my side and then okay Alex try again on your side just just out of curiosity okay there we go okay perfect uh can you see yes yes we do see okay so uh let me show you our proof of concept this is um result of our work of our team and that is iterative process and we will do past two and this proof of concept is version number two and there is room we have two iterations but basically uh this proof of concept colors uh first part of a consent uh let's assume we have three participants uh in uh a consent like a hospital patient and the investigator who will perform clinical trials and uh every uh uh participant has their own uh role and the permissions to operate with the data so uh I already registered one hospital in a blockchain when this is in hospital and also I registered one patient patient list uh and also registered one uh investigator participant blockchain if you click on investigator list when I see that uh there is only one and uh now uh to uh uh uh perform a consent uh uh flow we need uh uh we need to register uh a HR role in hospital for patients and after that uh uh investigator should get such a data make uh perform uh exclude and include uh criteria uh steps and import data to uh his database and uh make a final change of this data and uh uh uh uh as uh uh approve this data for for the clinical trials so uh for the moment uh in current implementation uh all HR roles are ordered by uh hospital and patients in health uh for this case patient should grant permissions grant hospital permissions to uh uh rate his own data uh add uh data uh and uh share his own data uh with uh uh as in this is a party just a third party members like investigator for this case we uh uh operate this patient click hospital list choose uh uh hospital we want to grant permissions and grant him uh uh uh read uh uh read uh uh permissions to uh uh uh to HR data uh grant uh right permissions to HR data and we also grant uh uh uh uh uh grant permissions to share uh uh the patient's data with the party members after that uh hospital uh can uh create uh uh new HR role uh for the patient for instance uh operate this hospital click on register HR data uh enter uh link ID for the patient and set a few uh mandatory uh parameters and click adjust to and so uh hospital can check uh data for this patient you will see four shortcuts this is the cross rail zone that uh before and uh last one on the side that recently art is that uh hospital should grant permissions to investigator to retrieve uh data in this patient click create uh access to share data button and finally investigator can uh get uh retrieve some data from hospital uh he investigator uh uh choose uh appropriate hospital and click uh get uh share data and he see uh uh HR roles uh related to the patient who uh uh granted permission to share his data with investigator after that we uh uh uh um so so alex this is rich so we're we're just coming up to the top of the hour i think well we just need to sort of hold on the demo here uh because we need to close out uh before the next session begins at at the top of the hour so so thank you so much alex and uh and denis and in the rest of the uh the team for the uh the patient uh subgroup for the hyper ledger special interest group phenomenal job this is one of the rare instances where i think we're going to really see some amazing results coming out of uh out of the subgroup thank you so much everybody uh and i just want to let you know as we reach the top of the hour uh we're we're not quite clear as to whether or not we're going to be able to do our next uh meeting at the end of the month by virtue of the fact that we have the christmas holiday coming up but please stay posted we will let you know in advance of that uh we are at the top of the hour thanks everybody uh we'll see you in either a couple of weeks or after the holidays and if that's the case have a great holiday season and we will talk to you very soon thank you so much thank you all right thank you happy holidays thank you happy holidays happy holidays


Good day and welcome back. I'm your host S.T. Klaas and the first time homebuyer show comes to your screens every Wednesday night at 8 p.m. And this week Wednesday an amazing young woman Nomsa joins me a property portfolio specialist We dive deep into generational wealth and what it is and how we can leave legacies for those who come after us That's live this week Wednesday at 8 p.m. On Facebook Instagram and YouTube take care. We'll see you there


I wait each night for a self. I say the mist. I say the strange tumble of leaves. I say a motor in the distance. But I mean a self, and a self, and a self. A small cold wind coils and uncoils in the corner of every room, a vagrant. In the dream, I gather my life in bundles and stand at the edge of a field of snow. It is a field I know but have never seen. It is nowhere and always new. What about the lives I might have lived? As who? And who will be accountable for this regret I see no way to avoid? A core or a husk, I need to learn not how to speak, but from where.  I say name, but I mean a conduit from me to me. I mean a net. I mean an awning of stars. Massa confusa. A body was left me. I did not put it on. Two densities of bone. Two methods of eye. In the spleen, an oasis. An oasis as mirage. All my people burned on either side of me. This is called trying to speak. And I was recently told that I should offer it because the book is not light. And I was recently told that I should offer trigger warnings at readings. So the next two poems that I'm going to read deal in some way with domestic abuse and traumatic racial history. The latter more so in the second poem that I'll read, but anyway. So it's called trying to speak. Another time on their bed he called out holding a 38 against her neck slurring something about freedom. And she, repeating the Arabic name she'd given him salim, the kind, the undamaged, paled like flame, an empty cocoon separating, dispersing. From the hallway I watched him step down and walk out of the room running his hand through my hair as he crossed the threshold. Composed, turning to glance at the clock she closed her robe and asked me to take the chicken from the freezer. This is called plantation. When he finally brought the hammer down one half inch from my mother's face the hole in the wall, wide as a silver dollar. I was close enough, huddled there in the folds of her lap her arms wet with sweat and crossed against my back. And since from the room all sound had gone I was clear enough to see inside the cracked plaster a river delta fractured branching off and becoming the sea or a tiny moon on a shore of white sand the tide lapping and in foam and tugging. No, twelve dead presidents perched there each with the face of my father clipped, vacant eyed scanning the field for a body to mark then locking in on her knee bent dread ordinary, mammary a yellow suckling heavy on her tit. No, I think it was her one good eye refusing to blink scaling the bare white wall at the core of the mind not measuring its height then circling a waterless well in a desert without sand unnumbered sisters before her caught in the belly of the boats where there was too much sound to hear though only one voice, one cry their dark arms like trellis vines crossed and reaching. So I'm going to read the poem that was in the coffee bag which was such a nice project to be involved in so thank you again, Stu, for including me in that and to the folks at Nomadic for doing such an exciting project. We're in lit journals and that's where people find our poems so it's good to bring poems to folks who might not know to seek them out so thanks for that. Okay, this is called self-portrait in black and white if I said I did not want to live anymore would you understand that I meant like this the years form a mythology I can almost explain I see in colors because they are always so much a part of the problem a fire engine is a backpack and my father dollar bill is headscarf star and crescent candy cane is barbershop and my choice of men gray is skin the bridge in the center of your eye now, stirring milk into my coffee with a bent spoon I stir milk into my coffee with a bent spoon so I'm going to read a poem that I actually so there's some Caveconum family in the room and Caveconum is an amazing organization that's really changed my life in all ways and I'm going to read a poem that I wrote actually about my journey like my literal journey to Caveconum to the first retreat I think it was the summer of 2013 which was personally a huge transition for me and a confrontation of something you know, a kind of core essential aspect of myself that for a whole host of reasons had prior to that moment been unexplored so this poem is actually dedicated to all the attendees of the 2013 Caveconum retreat and it's called Passing which I was no longer willing to do at a station in a no-name town the blue-red coleus blooms from a cleft in the track too obvious, I say out loud to the window to God, to no one rolling my white eyes into my thick bright head if I arrive, who will greet me as brother who will greet me at all feeling from my veins the pull of our one long pulse pissing into the metal bin faced streaming out onto the track I laugh at the mirror an animal unhinging trying to see what they see in whatever I am standing here then the train slides into a long tunnel the lights flicker off and I am back inside my mother okay so I told you I had nothing light for you I mean I'm honest about it anyway so I will do I think like two or three more I think okay I'm gonna do a prose poem called Clean Slate and part of the, I mentioned earlier the instability of race I think part of the way that that's been expressed and part of the kind of historical explanation for that expressed within my family and the historical explanation for that is the intersection of blackness and Arabness and how within the Arab world there's really a disavowal of blackness and of Africanness and I'll probably be speaking longer than the poem the poem's quite short but it's necessary to contextualization in North Africa for folks who may not know identity is incredibly complex because there are actually two colonial histories in the North when we think about colonial a colonial history in North Africa we think about French occupation typically but the Arab presence in North Africa is itself a colonial history and what we actually have in North Africa are Arabized Africans who then centuries later were colonized by the French and so the psychic trauma really and the complexity around identity in the North is what results in even phenotypically very dark North Africans identifying with Europe you know not identifying with sub-Saharan Africa not identifying with blackness and so it's especially coming from the U.S. you know it's surreal so anyway so this is a prose poem called Clean Slate as a very young woman my mother drank a glass of bleach thinking in water not tasting the burn not smelling a single fume at the hospital after she had begun to breathe the color returned to her face the doctor warned one chemical will never exit your system it won't ever leave you though she has survived she does not know it yesterday on the phone I said I'm beginning to understand that I am African and she said now how can that be child how can that be and I'll just read one more from that vein since I talked so much about the historical context this is called the most opaque sands make for the clearest glass the dark matter turned its face to mine and I could feel its breathing the invisible pull between the invisible air and my half-lit face hungry and waiting I felt it reaching for me the sorrow down slip of its call its smoke tongue licking behind my ears my hair erect with kinesis I felt it settle on and around the table a slow turning a cold tail how can she sit there and say child I am not we are not in spite of no inside of the dark fact of her body and I'm in a close with something from the other thread of the book which explores queer identity and queer sexuality and this is a sequence called homosexuality and it's organized geographically so each section has its own geography and so I'll just name the place where we are and thank you so much again for being here and for inviting me to read these poems too homosexuality New York these days my sympathy narrows in the barracuda I

BOOM is a conference, a learning conference as we've turned it, a coming together of individuals across our community that will help us understand what the obstacles are to diversity, equity and inclusion but also what the opportunities are for us to be the kind of community we want to be. So throughout your sessions today I want you all to listen deeply and to connect with each other as a community. It's a way to bring us all together. This is the first time in the history of our college that we have closed everything down. We've cancelled classes and we said this is a day that we're going to come together and we're going to be in conversation. We're going to learn from each other. We're going to learn about each other and we're also going to reflect about how we're going to take this forward. There are sessions that focus on the body. There are sessions that focus on artistic representation. There are sessions that talk about the future of the liberal arts. I presented with accessibility services staff. We did two panels and also an interactive installation as well as a technological heading zoo. We're presenting about gendered language and the use of pronouns and the ways to appropriately go about that in a setting. We basically conducted a sort of listening session to get a sense of what the campus wants from us as a community. How can we best serve the campus? To come here is always exciting but to come to talk about diversity. To come to talk about community. To come to think about how we can build on our momentum is an extraordinary honor for me. It's an opportunity to have a conversation to inquire of each other how we see the future and to give resonance to each other's thoughts. I hope that people take away the need to be more inclusive and the need to think about ourselves in community with others. Everyone's human and that's what we can all connect on and even though we may go through life with different experiences, different is okay and good.


Welcome back to another acting analysis final meters and today I'm going to take a look at season one of the Hulu show of the great and the great is indeed great and a couple scenes I want to take a look at the whole season is really good and this could be a hour long dissection of all the awesome elements so if you have Hulu if you have access to that I highly recommend you watch the show well let's go straight into the ones that I wanted to show you first up we have this moment here when she is observing people and I think not struggling was just this moment and of course if you know this channel if you watch my stuff you know I like props I like the idea and it's kind of dark here but she has a wig and he has something she has something in there and he has his wig but they get entangled and this moment happens here where I gotta get out get out which I like again because of things you can add right this could be a scarf this could be something with velcro this could be glasses stuck into something this could be like it is here with hair but it all gives you again opportunity for even kind of pantomime and this could be something where they find it funny I don't know why I'm drawing this here where they find it funny or it's something that makes it embarrassing or something that's stressful but if you have a character with props or you want to add props to a costume or again with wigs and hair or even something that's outside think about what you could do to add and emphasize like add to a moment and emphasize the moment of again whatever you want to do awkwardness or embarrassment or whatever it is next up is this very weird moment where for a very long amount of time here he he scratches his ear he's like all right let's go down for quite some time and now watch what he does after that he has that very short yeah that very short smell it's so weird and it's tiny like he stops talking but it's just a little moment of and then that's it it's not super long and and really he's going around with the finger and smelling it but it's just enough for you like that's weird he needs to smell the finger because he put that into his ear so the reason I'm showing you this because it's it's nice and subtle it's I mean it's not super super subtle but still it's nice and it's something where it adds something to your character is your character rubbing the nose and smelling it rubbing ears or doing something with a costume something where the character did an action and a gesture and whatever it is and then you can top it off with something like that just adds one more thing that makes your character weird that makes your character interesting or funny so think about that when you do have an action this could be with lip sync and without lip sync what the character is doing here what could you add as a one more thing to really emphasize and push the caricature of that character this just made me laugh because it's mostly just the body mechanics thing as you walk towards the fountain you can see how he gets on there and basically what happens after that it's just a great fall it made me laugh but also what's really cool is that you know he could be straight on but is not I'm not sure what he's thinking as an actor there but I like this from in terms of animation it gives you a nice silhouette through here you can even have the foot out here this way here it gives you asymmetry with a nice lean but what I like about the whole thing is that once he has this action falling down you got the offset is very animation specific here you got offset and you got this leg going in and then the other leg as well but then at the ends as they're both up there they both go out for one more change so I just like the succession of like what body parts are moving and how and the difference in posing so it's not just a you know one axis rotation back but there's more complexity in the legs again this is purely mechanics and just visuals imposing but it cracked me up and I thought that was really good that'll end thing of putting those legs out there and again if you watch my channel you know I'm a big fan of reactions and eye darts and looks and thought process and all of that and she tells him they're going to stab his fat face nine times and I love that look that he just did not expect this like oh wow that that is fairly violent and then he someone else is talking off-screen but then he goes back to her like what did you really say this and again I love this where maybe you're you know your lip sync is wrong character even if this is your shot and again if you don't want to do a lot of lip sync and you have this where it's not off-screen but you can't really see the lip sync right you just do kind of some cheek stuff and some jaw stuff so that there is movement but he concentrates on the reaction maybe that just is your shot but imagine the shot runs longer and you have this reaction you have that look no blinks he's completely shocked but it continues on where he's really so shocked that he has to look back at her really did you just say this and I love how far this is pushed so again this could be something where you do a two shot where you see this so you can do lip sync and then finish it off with a reaction or purely just listening to someone saying something and again this could be one character could be a second character off-screen but I think this is something that's slightly underused when someone does pantomime it's usually like a body pantomime someone doing something but think about just a facial pantomime of someone listening and reacting and you might argue this might be too subtle for a real there's really not much going on of course you can embellish and emphasize and stylize even more but it's like this idea of that prolonged look and even imagine the focus will continue to be on her and more lip sync whatever keep going with the character potentially thinking about is that going to make it even more impactful that he looks away it then comes back to really emphasize wow I can't believe she said that next up is again a little gesture by a character where she tells him your dad would be proud up in the heavens he goes oh yeah what a lovely thought and then he looks up and then he has that little wave it's cute it's just the character is a horrible character and that just gives him a little bit of childish innocence maybe I don't know it's just a cute little moment of hey hello up there so again if you have your character say something or react something could you add something that even if your character is established to be you know a good character bad character what could you do to maybe change that completely as like a 180 in terms of character or emphasize the character but it's just a cute little thing that is I mean it's somewhat driven by the lip sync by the audio where it says hey you know oh it's lovely thought up there hi but it's just a cute little moment I wouldn't say it's subtle I mean you clearly see it in animation wise I would not cover the face as much little different things in animation but just think about that could you do something through a look or a gesture to really push a character either to something unexpected or just to push an existing style and character or trail this one goes back to a reaction so they are forcing this character to jump up and down and they're laughing at this and it cuts to him going all right yeah and then over to him yeah and again this is something where not that you have to structure the shot like this but this just reminds me of what if you do have let's pretend let's go to this frame and something is happening here right even if it's two characters maybe they're slightly out of focus who knows but then you have character here character here and as they look maybe they're turning their heads and then they nod again this might be maybe a funky set up for your shot I just like the idea of an action that happens and it might even again change focus where it's in focus and then this is in focus but characters that are reacting in this case it's it cuts to them but to me it's just something about extending the shot and extending the focus and the point of interest to something that's potentially more subtle again when you have faces that potentially then turn to each other or something where it doesn't have to be just well this is the lip sync this is the audio and concentrate just on that well could you expand the shot and add something that's not in the audio and give your shot a bit more layers and give your characters more layers just the whole performance just a bit more complexity than just this is the lip sync and that's what I'm doing and that's it speak of reaction there's this I like this idea and especially this moment through here so what if you start a shot could be this right it could be a wider view where you show someone is math thawing around breaking jumping up and down or maybe that character totally different setting headphones and rocking out and listening to music and it's awesome and that could be the first establishing shot and then it cuts to something like this where then it's all about the reaction but you can still have the character go through the frame and we understand what that is because you established it in this shot or whatever view you can have maybe it's something you know like this but it's cool that you have the continuous action and it's them reacting and also reacting differently you got two characters you got to think about contrast how do they react is someone a bit more playful with it is someone a bit more concerned something towards them when he throws you can see how she still has a bit of a smile so totally different reactions but it's something where you can push posing for contrast you can push the facial features and it's something where if you don't want to really animate a lot of body mechanics you can just concentrate on them being still with the foreground element that goes by the slightly out of focus to kind of reduce work and really focus on the pantomime and the reaction of characters this was really neat too where the characters either went through a terrible ordeal and he just had a speech that was not that successful all right i guess i gotta sit down and she just she just can't bear this and she gets up to hold a really fantastic speech and this is the moment here where looks a little bit of a swallowing the tension through there and just that slow getting up and you can see how she's potentially going oh one of this is going to be okay and maybe she tries to be not too loud just that look down and of course his reaction here and that she finishes and starts her her speech but this is something where i want you to think about for a simple action right and that's a common assignment where someone sits down or stands up that's a common just a simple exercise but think about what is the headspace of the character is the character kind of all right out of ideas maybe slightly embarrassed or okay and that's like maybe a faster more rushed sit down with a couple darts processing what did i just do wrong versus this is going to be potentially a problem if i speak up but i'm going to do it anyway so you got the tension and nervousness totally different headspace for for different characters how they again sit down or stand up so for you if you're going past just the mechanics think about what you could add and think about what the character has experienced before afterwards where is the character and the character's action is going to influence someone here and what is that going to mean for this character and i could draw and draw and draw but i'm always a big fan of little even little moments here with the tension and the shoulders and the look just to give it another layer to just the body mechanic and this is actually after all of this she did really this moment is so good her acting is so good this is such a good show all the cast members are so good but she's done she's done with the speech haza and then after this they have all the different types of clappings if you look at them as they get up you have a that type of clapping they're fairly similar here but then you get a bit more reserved waiting then you got a bit more of a hesitant all right i guess then you got the really big ride that was good that was good and slightly small also to the side and look at the posing then the big contrast of him going all right i guess so again this goes for me into contrast with characters so if you have multiple characters so you have to think about their posture even right now in this frame they're fairly similar but whatever you can do if they all clap how can you make each clap different to give it a certain personality and it will all fit the established characters throughout the scene but as you animate something they might be just a couple seconds long try to find something that really distinguishes the characters so you can understand oh this character is you know whatever a villain or a hero make it very broad but just generally this comes back to what i always tell my students any movement matters any timing matters the way you blink if you hold your blink for a couple of frames how you clap if it's a clap like this while looking away if it's a clap looking forward it's a clap like a big one like this if it's kind of like whatever so all of that even just like the way you would tilt your head and the way you clap or some people have this very stiff clap like that or clap like all of that gives you character just another layer and then it distinguishes them from other characters that you see in your frame speaking of distinguish if you want your reel and your shots to distinguish themselves from other shots i know you know i'm trying to find segues i have a workshop so if you like this and you like that approach you like that thought process about adding complexity and awesomeness to your shots you can sign up for my workshop we can work together you can send me your stuff and i'll send you a review link description and everywhere with examples you can sign up at any time speaking of time thank you for watching as

What is going on everybody it stops here welcome back to another video so in today's video We're gonna be doing an overall market update taking a look at the Dow Jones the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq We're going to be doing a trading update talking about what I personally did today in terms of my trading any day trades Any swing trades we're going to be talking about that in today's video as well as my mindset my outlook some stocks Personally watching and what I think is going on right now in the overall stock market So before we do get into that guys all I ask from you is if you enjoy the content here You find the content valuable feel free to go down below and hit that like button It really supports me and supports the channel in general and if you're new to the channel There are two links down below one of them being the strive smart discord group chat and the other one being the strive Smart Facebook group both of those platforms are 100% free of charge and I guarantee you you'll find value in both of them So with that further ado, let's just hop right into it guys So again another green day in the stock market guys the S&P 500 the SPX The 500 largest publicly traded US companies ended up closing the day up 25 points here we saw it up 40 points today at its highest it ended up closing the day up about point eight nine Percent the Dow Jones industrial average up about 215 points at the close up point eight four Percent at the highest. I believe it was up like 300 350 something like that we saw a little bit of a sell off towards the end of the market and all of the three major indexes that we follow here and the Nasdaq up 75 points roughly right now mind you this is the future up about 1% right now So if you look a bit closer to see exactly where it closed at about 4 p.m Eastern Standard it seems like it's right around where we are right now Maybe a little bit lower probably like six points lower So around a 68, you know 69 70 point green day for the Nasdaq at the close of the market so and yesterday's video we were talking about how There was on a technical basis a potential for a further sell-off today, and if you guys watch yesterday's video I'll do a quick little rundown here. We noticed on the S&P 500 on the 20 day one-hour chart towards the close of the market Yesterday where we saw we were under the 50 SMA Resistance right we talked about that in yesterday's video and I was talking about how on a technical basis We were still down trending right and if we were to get rejected here for the futures We're pointing down this morning, you know, there would be a red date today, but we did not get that right We popped out the futures were looking solid We saw a huge push out of the 50 SMA Resistance here and we pretty much just broke the downwards pattern on this 20 day one-hour chart Remember in yesterday's video. That's kind of what I was talking about, right? I was I was saying that if we were to pop out of here That's a pretty bullish reversal to the upside But if we were to get rejected pushed down that would be the continuation of the downtrend So we might as well just break down the SPX right here very quickly guys, you know on the 184 hour chart it's very evident at this point It's 100% clear that we did bounce on the 180 simple moving average level of support here Right, we were kind of you know holding above at the past couple of days, but on the smaller term charts We didn't quite see the reversal to the upside quite yet, right? We saw the 50 SMA resistance We obviously broke out of that on the the 20 day one-hour chart Confirming the push here on the longer-term charts as well So as of now, you know everything's looking solid for the continuation of the uptrend here on the S&P 500 based on these Technicles and one thing one thing I want to point out here is this 50 simple moving average is posing as the next Resistance on the S&P 500 notice how we're seeing a red candlestick forming right under here This is mostly due to the market pulling back on an intraday basis towards the end of the day today, right? We noticed the big pop we kind of leveled off at about 2890 We started to make lower highs here lower lows into the close of the market You guys can pretty much see it there and if we're looking on the 20 day one hour Notice how there's also a resistance here under the 180 SMA So we're noticing on the 20 day one hour a resistance here So that's one resistance and on the 184 hour We're noticing yet again another resistance under that 50 simple moving average So these are levels that the S&P needs to break out of if the uptrend wants to continue further From where we are right now and quite frankly guys like you saw in the title, you know This market has been confusing me right? We've had bad news after bad news then we got a little bit of good news with the auto sales tariffs yesterday kind of Being pushed back being delayed and this kind of just pumped up so much optimism into the stock market People were talking about how this was panic buying in our community in the discord chat and that kind of makes sense Right people are almost like foam owing right now I kind of in my personal opinion right fear of missing out on this dip of the stock market although There's a bunch of bad uncertainty and bad news surrounding which surrounding the market Which is why I'm still kind of iffy right here And I'm still not buying in on any swing trades yet because I personally still think There is a lot of downwards pressure in the overall markets as of right now That's just my honest humble opinion if you don't agree with me. That's cool But if you agree with me, you know, you probably think the same things that I'm thinking right now in terms of this Could just be a dead cat bounce, right? This can just be fake optimism, you know panic buying, right? I'm still not buying the fact that the markets are going to reverse all the way up here and maybe hit a 3000 point SMP, right? I'm just not buying it at this point But the technicals are telling us that we are pushing up from here and again like I've mentioned in other videos The technicals do not lie So one thing that we could be seeing here is a head and shoulders pattern forming on the SMP, right? You see the left shoulder the head and if we do end up getting rejected here by the 50s In May and on the 20-day one-hour chart by that 180s in May Let's say we have a massive couple of red days these next couple of days, you know Maybe tomorrow on Friday heading into Monday Tuesday This can be the completion of the right shoulder if we slowly start to sell down You know, maybe down to the you know, maybe the 2800 flat level the $2,700 level if we do something like that, right? this is going to be the left shoulder again the head and then the right shoulder and then we'll be selling off further from there and at That point it would be breaking below critical supports at 2800 and of course the 180 simple moving average So that could be a possibility forming right now if the markets do end up selling off And I would love to know what you guys think about that is this just kind of panic buying our people FOMOing right now. Is this is this legit? You guys think we're going to go up to a 3000 S&P right now. Do you guys think the tariff news the trade war all that stuff is out the window? I personally don't think it is I'm personally not buying it and I'm personally waiting for a further sell off and Mostly sitting in on cash right now to be completely honest with you guys So the Dow Jones industrial average right now We're noticing a resistance under the 180 S&P here But we're also noticing the confirmation of the push above the 25,500 level of support and we're kind of just trading in between 26200 and 25500 just like I talked about yesterday that 700 point range is pretty much where the Dow is trading right now So we're going to need a massive swing to the upside or a massive swing to the downside for us to break out of this little Horizontal channel that we're in and if we're noticing on the 20 day one hour just like the S&P guys We broke out of the 50 S&A Resistance today we gapped up and in yesterday's video I was talking about right if we were to gap up that would be a bullish pattern if we were to get rejected and pushed down That would be the continuation of this downtrend and now it seems like we are seeing a bit of a pullback We're not quite yet getting rejected by the 180 S&A because there is a bit of room to get up to the 180 S&A But that doesn't um Really that doesn't shy away from us getting rejected or just rather pulling back where we are right now Right the one day one minute. We popped up 25,957 dollars almost at 26,000 Dow Jones today Then we started the descending pattern lower lows lower highs all of that good stuff So let's take a look at the five day five minute.  But as of now, you know, I just think there is more selling in store And that's pretty much it for the Dow Jones, right? Nothing crazy here Nothing crazy just trading in between the middle right here if we break up above, you know, 26,200 at that point We may be testing the next resistance than the next resistance But first let's just focus on the next resistance which is right at about 26,200 so the NASDAQ The NASDAQ here the slash NQ We notice how this one also broke out of the 50 S&M a resistance here on the 184 hour chart Now it's looking like we're testing the 180 S&M a which is right above here. You see this yellow line It's right above this one. Uh, this 50 S&M a right. We're noticing a red, uh, candle starting to form Right, this can be potentially a rejection spot But if we notice tomorrow we're trending up, let's say the futures are up pre-market This can be us breaking out of this 180 S&M a resistance and we could just be Further continuing the uptrend at that point. So if we're looking at the 20 day one hour This is actually one that's broken broken out of both of the S&M a resistances We notice that we were trading under the 50 S&M a we slowly We slightly broke out of that in yesterday's session here. We can see this was on the 15th of May, excuse me And today with the big day that we had we broke out of the 180 S&M a right So this is the only one out of the three major indexes we follow That's actually out of both moving average resistances here on the smaller term 20 day one hour chart So what I'd watch at this point on this 20 day chart is these next two resistances one being at about $650 right here and the following one being at around 77 20 $7700. So let's say we have a huge day tomorrow Hypothetically that would probably put us out of these two resistances and at that point, you know The NASDAQ on a technical basis will be on a full-on uptrend pattern again. The continuation Will be there. So that's pretty much it For this market update guys, you know I'm kind of just confused right now, you know with the whole Movement of the market. It just kind of doesn't make sense to me to be completely honest with you all Which is why I'm just being cautious right now Where I'm putting my cash and what I am doing with my money, right? I'm not jumping into any swing trades right now just because the markets have had a couple of green days in a row and You know, I'm not just you know Thinking the markets are going to hit all-time highs quite frankly just because we've had a couple of green days in a row And just because the technicals are showing that we could be reversing right now to the upside Right, I want to see how the markets are going to react over these next couple of days Before I make any further decisions on the swing trading side of things But this market guys the volatility No one can really lie about it providing a lot of opportunities for day trading, right? Day trading has been the bread and butter for me over these past couple of days with the volatile Markets, which is what we're about to talk about right now. So remember in yesterday's video We talked about Nike stock ticker symbol NKE. This is one that I scalped this morning very quickly Um pretty much guys. We had a pretty solid morning on Nike, right? We noticed it gapped up pre market hours and into the market open from yesterday's close at about 84 dollars We opened up at about 84 50. We gapped up the futures at this point We're looking green the s&p was up like 10 15 points or something like that And I ended up just taking a position right here not the biggest of positions, right? I ended up taking a smaller position than I typically do take on my day trades And it was a quick scalp right nothing crazy ended up getting in I believe at about 84 dollars and 70 cents Wrote it up literally under 1% trade here was about like a 0.6 0.5 0.6 trade Literally up to about like 85 85 10 right around there is when I ended up selling out so quick in and out on Nike that's what I ended up doing We noticed the top that about 85 40 after that big spike this morning sold off all the way to about 84 dollars And 25 cents so quite the swing there in Nike stock So my second trade of the day was in proctor and gamble, which is actually one I also called out in yesterday's video, right? I talked about this one Not in my night video, but in my video previous to that I had two uploads yesterday. The first upload was three stocks I'm looking to swing trade during the trade war and pg proctor and gamble happened to be one of those stocks and we talked about how If proctor and gamble were to break the 107 level of resistance right around here, right 106 50 ish 107 That would be a good sign that it wants to push to a high here on the 184 hour chart And as we can see the dollar 41 day that it had today 1.32 percent in the green that's exactly what it ended up doing It broke that resistance pushed to a high all the way up to about 108 dollars and 68 cents So on the one day one minute guys, this is what we're seeing right? We opened up at 106 We got the pop up above 107 that was the bullish confirmation for me because again We were breaking out of that long-term resistance from over the past couple of weeks And I ended up just taking a position. I believe at about like 107 I think it was like 107 35 107 37 if we're getting exact here And this was a bit bigger of a trade than nike. I ended up selling after this little pullback We saw we got the pullback the bounce that I pretty much just wanted to get out Right once we got right when we got back to that resistance that was formed after the pullback Right, we got a double top here. We pulled back then it was I was up about like 0.4 0.5 at this point we started to trend back up and I just wanted to play it safe Get out once we hit and got close to that resistance ended up taking about a 0.7 Profit on proctor and gamble here guys. So that's pretty much it for the day today again Like I said, haven't been doing much swing trading lately because the markets have been funky The trend has been confusing me a bit. I'm not buying into the hole. We're going to all-time highs again Right, I'm just not buying into it and I'm not putting money into swing trades quite yet because of my belief And me not buying into that. We're going to all-time highs everything's sunshine and rainbows right now I'm just not buying into it quite yet guys. So day trading has been the bread and butter for me has been What I've been doing in these volatile markets that we've been in guys so pg And nike that's all I ended up trading as of today. So drop a comment down below Let me know what did you end up trading today? I would love to know and I love interacting with you guys You all know that and it means a lot to me when you drop a comment when I get to interact with you It's pretty pretty awesome talking to you guys the subscribers. You guys are the bomb So what am I watching for the rest of this week guys? So I got a request on one stock to break down today We'll start off with that then we'll get into some other stocks and I'm watching some of them Are ones that we actually already talked about one of them being proctor and gamble So the one that one of the subscribers wanted me to talk about today was lyb I've covered this on the channel before Particularly particularly during this time period when we were trading between 84 and 89 We briefly popped out of 89 after we talked about it on the channel, right since them we ended up selling off We failed to hold that support at about 84 dollars and now it seems like we're holding a support From back in the december month of 2018, right? We can see that was actually the low Excuse me down to about 77 dollars and 50 cents if I drag this out a bit You guys can see that over the past couple of days We've been bouncing and holding and actually reversing to the upside off of this Support and if we're just looking on let's say some smaller time frame charts Actually, let's look at the 10 day. That'll give us a bit more data here. We're noticing how We're breaking out of the 50s and may resistance. That's been a resistance over the past couple of trading days But now it seems like we're seeing some resistance under this 180s and may so me personally It's good that we are Breaking out of the 50s and may but me personally what I would love to see Is for us to break out of this next resistance to being the 180 Simple moving average, right? We broke out of one now All we need to do is break out of the next to get that further confirmation at that point The price of the stock if that does happen, it would be probably around the 83 to 84 Level which for me, that's more of a comfortable spot To get into lib and then from there guys, you know at about 83 on the 10 day chart We notice that's putting us out of a resistance But then when we go to the 184 hour, which again is the longer-term chart We're going to notice that at that point We're also going to be at a resistance from the previous couple of weeks where it was once a support, right? We break the support that becomes a new resistance. So Honestly at this point, you know, there could be an opportunity from 82 dollars Maybe up to the next resistance at about 84 dollars. That could be a nice little play on lib Especially if the pre-market Movement is showing that it's continuing to push up and at that point, you know The perfect scenario here for me would be to get in and out of a little trade from about 82 Up to about 84 sell wait for the break above 84 And then if we get that confirmation if we get that we're possibly pushing up to the next resistance Maybe at about 88 89 dollars from 84 85 that could be another possible trade So that is what i'm looking at here. It's looking good though. The fact that it's holding 77 to 80 dollars Very very solid sign for lyb So the next one That I wanted to talk about today was actually NVIDIA stock guys NVIDIA stock. This is one that I believe just reported earnings I didn't really get into their earnings quite yet to be completely honest with you all But the stock is reacting quite well here. You can see take a look right here You see this little green thing? That's the price right now And you can notice that it's up 10 dollars from where we ended up closing today And what's that telling me? Well, that's telling me that the stock must have had or the company rather Must have reported great earnings. So let's take a look at the live news tab so we can see possibly if we can see here Eps revenue Let's see. So, okay C's q2 sales, okay, the 2.55 billion versus 2.54 billion expected That was for the sales. Okay. Actually, no, they came in sales at 2.22 billion versus 2.2 billion expected So they beat on revenue very very solid and their eps. Oh my goodness guys. This is probably why their eps Was 88 cents versus the 79 cents that were expected So that's a blow out of the water beat there very very nice beat on Nvidia This is going to be one where the momentum from this good earnings report could carry on into tomorrow, right? We may notice that it opens up at 170. Maybe it rallies maybe to 175 Maybe even 180, right? That's not too out of the question. We've seen stocks Rally on days after they reported earnings. Just look at roku for example roku that stock reported earnings The stock went up like 40 percent, right? Absolutely crazy another scenario that can happen here is let's say The hype kind of dies down from the earnings report tomorrow Let's say we get down to maybe 165 166 if we open up at that level That could also be a good opportunity for it to run back up to the highs that it hit Before or after rather they reported earnings, which in this case would be 172 dollars per share So there's a couple of things that can happen here guys, you know Typically, we don't really know or really we never know honestly We never know what's going to happen after earnings, right? We've seen facebook pop up to like what was it? Like 200 dollars a share or something that it ended up selling back down to 190 Hasn't gotten back up to 200. Who knows that could happen to Nvidia, right? We may sell off and then just trend to the 160s maybe go down again Who really knows but if one if um if we get to 165 Like I said, maybe if that does end up happening, you know We start to consolidate maybe and we start to maybe have a push back up That could be us filling the gap back up to 171. That can be a very very solid trade. So in video And lib those are two that i'm definitely keeping my eyes on for tomorrow Facebook stock here you're going to notice at a bunch of these stocks guys the larger cap stocks Notice how many of them are at their 50 simple moving average resistance on the 184 hour, right? These are at a point where if we broke out of these levels, we can break out, right? So facebook's one that i'm looking for that breakout and I believe apple's in the same spot here Actually, no not quite as um the same spot. Let me take a look at some of these other large caps, right? Microsoft this one's actually out of The moving average resistance. This could be a potential good play for tomorrow. Let's see amazon Yeah, you see amazon's right at that 50 sma resistance here. Let's see google Google broke out of it, but it's actually at the 180 sma resistance as well Let's take a look at amd amd is looking like it's breaking out of the moving averages here We're popping out of there a bit so Tomorrow, you know tesla's also a good one that i'm looking at right here tesla somebody in the group actually mentioned it And it got me thinking a bit. We're noticing this pattern here on tesla We've been talking about this pattern non-stop, right? We've been talking about how every time tesla goes to a lower low, right? Which it's currently at it ends up rebounding and then it goes back up to the moving average Which in this case is the 50 sma this green line that you're seeing and this person on the group chat He was saying or she I don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but they were saying You know I'm looking to sell out of tesla at 240 and that got me thinking 240 is actually right at that 50 sma So that's actually a pretty solid potential move and especially if tesla continues this consolidation And especially if it starts to slowly creep up into the 230s This may be a swing that I might even take a part of even though You know, I'm not really looking to swing trade a downtrending stock, right? I've talked about this so many times throughout the life of this channel guys That's just not my style But this may be one that could be day-tradable because we've seen tesla push $10 in a day, right? So if that ended up happening, I'm going to keep it on close watch for that potential move So tesla looking very solid here We noticed the vixx the volatility index is completely tanking here We noticed the volatility was pumping up over the past Couple of days it kind of died down over these past two days. Hence why the vixx is dropping here So that's pretty much it for today's video guys, you know The vixx is coming down volatility is slowing to die down Although I don't think it is quite over to be completely honest with you guys That's just my personal opinion You know tesla setting up decently right now. We're seeing invidia as a potential earnings play, of course I'm watching tvix s qqq for potential market sell-off. Those are always on my watch list for the mornings We have, you know, microsoft potentially breaking out. It could potentially hit an all-time high here Another one that I want to talk about very quickly is natural gas natural gas We noticed the sell-off to 258 the pop-up to 264 now. It's kind of forming a bit of a horseshoe Pattern here. We sold off actually no not here right here guys the horseshoe, right? We sold off from 266 down to 259 We're popping up now. We're slowly starting to fill the gap Maybe you guys could be a good play, especially if this uptrend continues if we get into the 270s on natural gas You guys which goes up when natural gas is going up that can be a very solid play So that's it for today's video guys if you enjoyed it feel free to hit that like button drop a comment down below Let me know you guys ended up doing today Subscribe to the channel if you're new hit that notification bell so you're notified every time that I do make a video I'll catch you all in the next video.
