Hello and welcome to yet another talk here on kaoszone.tv live from our studio here in Potsdam. This talk will be named reproducible building network infrastructure and will be given to you from Astro who is located in Dresden at C3D2.   Astro will mir sagen, wie hier structured und maybe restructured all of this network infrastructure based on NixOS and I will wish you lots of good information and lots of fun here at this talk reproducible building network infrastructure by Astro. The stage is yours. Hello, welcome back sorry for the issues from the beginning on. I am actually a software developer by heart, but I am also an computer administrator. I have a strong interest in usable network infrastructure because it is required for my communications programs when I write software. So over the time I developed a few strong opinions about how computer networks should be designed so that they actually serve their users and put additional restrictions on them. And I've always asked myself how this can be done actually. And 5 years ago I've had the opportunity to try this at a larger scale and learn a lot. And that's why I'm doing this talk today because I want to share my experience and maybe inspire you to do the same for your community. And before I begin, I will tell you a bit about the location because where our Hexbase was located before in an office complex. This wouldn't have been possible. But then we found the Zentralwerk. And we met these creative, open-minded people in an old factory building. And we immediately fed the table with us. And the environment is really nice. For example, the old factory has towers where we can put up 5-Funk-Node-Styling. And we can install antennas and radios. And that provides a lot of opportunity to have fun with technology here. But the best is there is a ballroom that is a beautiful event venue where we hold our annual conference. It's a really nice atmosphere. So in these buildings, they are built in Ethernet cables to all the apartments. Because there were no tech people before us, we were offered to run it. So this is the opportunity because I was very convinced, there would be a growing chaos organically. So I invited all the interested technical people to propose a structure. And that's what we've been running ever since. And our goals are, of course, the eyeballs. I want to watch some Facebook. And this is often disappointing for me. To be honest, most people would be very happy in a network address translation gateway alone in the Internet. Trust that was Metcalfers law. He postulated that the value of a network grows with the connected devices and users. So, actually, you wouldn't want to be, you want to be connected. Maybe you want to be connected with even faster cables to your neighbors. They are connected in shared infrastructure. Of course, pool their resources, pool their money to get high quality Internet uplink, which means for less money, there's more peak bandwidth for everyone. And because access is a fundamental requirement in the 21st century, there needs to be open. I think it's a shame that there's so few open Wi-Fi in Germany. When I run the network, there has to be open Wi-Fi. And because we want to run an open Wi-Fi in parallel, we actually have to off the wireless access points, which is a kind of big difference to an ordinary ISP. And then, we want to make it useful beyond Internet. We want to enable cooperation. So, that's why we uphold the Internet principle of the Internet in our network. There's no network address translation between neighbors. So peer-to-peer and sharing printers actually works. And by now, there's a few servers for house internal servers. But that's not what this talk is about. This talk is really about the underlying infrastructure. And because I do not want to be the sole responsible person for all that, I tried to enable cooperative administration from the beginning on. So, of course, I want to increase the bus factor. So, if anything happens to me, other people can continue to take care of it. But I also want to invite users to take care of the infrastructure that is beyond their premises, because that would be very attractive to me as well. So, I'm just projecting it up onto them. And indeed, there are a few trusted neighbors from outside the hackerspace that have root access to the server. But in reality, no one really cares until there is an outage. So, how do we enable collaboration and transparency? Of course, like a software project, we have all the configuration in Git repository. At first, five years ago, we started out with Saltstack, which was recommended to me at the time. I never got really happy with that and switched to NixOS this year. And that means the setup is entirely reproducible from the code base. This is great for consistency. So, what you see in the repository is the documentation. There are no files in slash ETC that have been touched by someone. This is luckily kind of enforced by NixOS, but should be done with any other deployment tool as well. And if you contrast that to imperative style, where you actually touch the files in slash ETC, you will forget about them after a few days, which have been modified, which are actually important. And this is even worse if you collaborate with other administrators. So, a central repository, where you have everything that is relevant in one place, is really great for transparency. So, I'm really huge NixOS Fanboy. When there's no lockdown, we have daily code exchange and progress review at the space. So, we get accused of circle jerking. And this is why this talk is not going to be a NixOS advertisement. And indeed, if you prescribe declarative Administration to your collaborators, that can actually turn out to be a blocker for people who are not used to declarative style, who are used to touch files in slash ETC. And that is my experience. But it's better than touching slash ETC. You have to ignore these people. So, people are always calling out for documentation. My experience is that doesn't work. People who do not look into code, do not look into documentation. And there's also this problem with external documentation gets out of sync with the actual state really quickly. So, that's why you best keep it in the repository. And that's what we do. We've written quite up some texts so that every neighbor can get to know the network. But in fact, no one ever reads that, no one ever scans those QR codes. And by now, because people, even the admin team doesn't like to read documentation, I package little packages, little scripts for regular choice. So, they do not have to look up documentation, but just run the commands that are documented in the process. So, how do we design our network? Before we connect people, we actually need to separate the networks. So, they cannot break the neighbor's network with a rogue DHCP server, handing out inlet IP addresses, or even worse, do upspoofing to redirect traffic. So, what we want is an isolated link between a neighbor and our server, and then connect on the IP level with well-defined routing and maybe even firewalls. So, what we need is virtualization, and there is a widespread technology for that called virtual LAN, where you just give a network a number in a switch, and to send multiple networks over one cable. There is this well-supported VLAN packet format. Here you can see on the on top, you can see a normal Ethernet frame, starting with destination and source addresses, and then comes the packet type, like IPv4, IPv6, IPX, you name it. And on the bottom, you have a special packet type for VLAN, which is followed by the VLAN number, the network number, and then the rest of the original packet follows. So, when such a packet is received by a network device that understands that, it can look at the number in that packet and assign it to the proper network. So, this is understood by lots of configurable switches and by Linux and OpenWRT Devices, and this is what we actually use. On top, you can see cheap Wi-Fi Routes that are supported by OpenWRT. Remember, we run them for our users to ensure they do not only run their private Wi-Fi network, but also their public network that is open for anyone, and we run it with OpenWRT, because it runs on many cheap devices, and means freedom, and we get updates, and it's nice. People often tell me to just buy devices from the proper vendor, but that's not what we do here, because we don't actually have a budget. In the middle, you can see big switches. These are not the 10 Euro switches you buy for your desk, but these are manageable switches that can be configured so that you can put sets of ports in different numbered virtual lands. And on the bottom, there's the most important part that we need is a Linux Server, and once there is Linux, we have freedom to do whatever we want. So, how do we configure these devices? The configuration should come from our repository, and from that data, we just generate expect scripts. Expect is a domain-specific language that just sends output and expects input, and that's how we can control tenant and SSH connections to these devices. And I recognize this as an archaic way to do it, but it works with any device that is configurable over the command line, and we don't need vendor-specific tools to use our devices, because we got them for free, they are old, there's no current software, some network switches require configuration via web interface that only supports Internet Explorer 6, and it's really great if you discover a hidden command line via Internet, where you can actually do these things reproducibly. But in the end, this technology really sucks, and that there are no updates is a huge problem, because this network infrastructure is not only a smartphone. I rather have a big Linux box with 48 Ethernet ports instead. So, how do we segment our network? We decided to go for the following network types. At first, we have a management network, which is not really accessible. This is just for getting to the network devices and reconfiguring them with our generated scripts. Then we have a core network, which is just at the center. This is where all the routers are. We run a routing protocol, open shortest pass first, so that there's a consistent view of the specific routes, and all the routers are connected there. And for every network where there are clients, we have a gateway that is between the core network and those client networks. And those client networks is one for services, one for the hackerspace, one for the open Wi-Fi, and many for every neighbor. And then there are isolated networks, because sometimes people are afraid of doing networking with CCC people, so we can connect them with their modem in the basement and provide an isolated Ethernet link. This has also been very useful for conferences like Datanspuren, where the VOC wanted to do audio-video bridges or put their compute nodes in another room. So that's a lot of flexibility that you get when you have manageable switches put everywhere. This is a graphics-generated visualization from our configuration data, just a side product. And Rectangular, all the switches, circular, no, and hexagonal are all the access points. And indeed, cheap open WRT access points are manageable switches. A lot of them have configurable switching chips inside to separate all those Ethernet ports. So, now that the physical structure is solved, let's connect these networks logically with IPv4 and IPv6. Oh, that's the wrong image. This is still the physical structure. So, we have a star topology topology topology with the core at the center. And this is where the routers are. And running a routing protocol means we can add routers without reconfiguring all the others. So we don't have full flexibility. We have no constraints by embedded hardware. I know there is hardware that can do IP and IPv6 routing. But on Linux, there is just much more potential. So, for the routers, I decided to have the granularity at the router level. So, I put them in Linux containers. This is not like Docker, but this is full NixOS in LXC, where we can actually have multiple network interfaces per container. And so we can bring the core network and one of the access networks to a container. And the VLAN is handed by the Linux host that bridges a network into the container. So, what do the router containers do? Of course, they do routing, nut routing for the Internet uplinks and for the routers between the core net and the access networks. There are DHCP servers for handing out IPv4 addresses. There's router advisements for handing out IPv6 addresses. And neighbors can optionally get a firewall if they do not want incoming connections. So, when you have shared infrastructure, people are always afraid of the leeches and cedars. That's why we need ... That's why we need packet scheduling on the sending interfaces. And for quite some time, we used control delay, shape to our upstream bandwidth. This shaper is also the default for WOT by now. So, this also keeps queues short on Wi-Fi. But by now, there is this cake shaper called common applications kept enhanced that builds on top of code and brings many more integrated features for the most snappy Internet access. So, now that our network runs and provides Internet to people, I have spent a few thoughts for upholding quality. So, we run our network on cheap old devices, where there are no replacements. There's no redundancy because there's simply no similar devices left. That means we have the best monitoring. People call me when they don't have Internet. But of course, I want to make people happy because they have their Wi-Fi devices on-premises, where we can't go and check cables. I was afraid of cables becoming unplugged, which would mean there would be dysfunctional Wi-Fi networks, which is why I made a little crown job that runs every few minutes and checks if the server is still reachable. And if it's not, it will shut down the Wi-Fi, avoiding broken Wi-Fi networks. By now, we have multiple Internet connections. Originally, I planned that multiple neighbors can pull into one Internet connection, turns out one big Internet connection is enough for everyone. So, people don't actually care about which technology they use to get to the Internet. They just want Internet, and I want to give them the fastest experience. So, actually everyone is routed over the fastest Internet connection, except for the public network, which you can't route directly, because we are in Germany. This is why we use VPN providers. But there's more Internet connections, and I use them as fallback. Because we already run the OSPF Routing Protocol between routers, we have some dynamic sharing of the routing state, but the OSPF protocol has a consistent view of the routing table in a network. That means if you put multiple routing, multiple default routes for Internet access in there, the network will decide on just one router for everyone. So, I was looking for a solution with that, and then I discovered that OSPF can coexist on one network in multiple Instances, and you can actually configure this in BERT, the Routing Protocol Implementation, to select routes from these OSPF Instances with a specific preference. So, we removed the decision process from the protocol into the routing suit and have some preference for which internet router to take if the first one is down. And this works very well. Due to that, we don't have public IP addresses inside the network, where we don't have public IPv4 addresses. We have public IPv6 addresses in the network, but that works too, because on the Internet uplinks that are not associated with these addresses, we use NAT66. And on the Hexbase, because we have multiple Internet connections, I actually provide multiple default routes. So, users can actually add another default route, take another way to the Internet, just for technical people. So, because we have a few servers now, the do-services, I am also looking into redundancy for the network. By now, we have a second server that is on cold standby. I boot it every month to do updates to deploy the actual state, but then I shut it down again, because a server needs a lot of energy. But I do now have also looked into using pacemaker, because these containers, they are pretty independent from their host. They can be started on any host, on any server. So, that's actually really well suitable for high availability and to start them on another server when the first server has gone down. So, just to show you a code, a slide with code. This is how our Nixflake looks like in excerpts. We have Nixflakes configuration for all the containers, for all the servers. And then we boot packages from that. Packages containing Linux that we can, with the tool script, switch to very quickly and in a kind of atomic way. And we can also roll that back in a very quick fashion. And what you can also see here is that device configuration scripts, just packages that you can run with NixRun and do the deployment that way. So, it's really nice interface. And Nixflakes gives us perfect reproduzability by pinning all the inputs, all the versions, all the state that goes into your code. And NixOS also provides facilities to actually start the system in a local virtual machine very quickly. So, I can actually develop all of that in, on my local machine and test it. And once it runs, I can deploy this production and that has worked really well all the time. So, in all the time, we connected three isolated networks, one hackerspace network, 42 neighbor networks. We run 41 Wi-Fi access points with open Wi-Fi and neighbor networks. And if you listen to the numbers, that is less Wi-Fi access points than neighbor networks, people can actually share plastic routers as well. We run seven manageable switches. We have one active and one cold standby server. We have six services and the entire house is reachable globally via IPv6 and reachable from DN42. We have DNS infrastructure, a few internet connections. And I have to say, once the stuff is running smoothly, maintenance gets reduced to keeping devices updated, onboarding new participants and extending the network. I get a lot of satisfaction from this project because it actually provides an important service to people I know. I want you to think about it. You can do it, this too. Once you automate your infrastructure, you can do it very, very easily for others. I want you to ensure enter and reachability, which is easy with IPv6 nowadays and promote usage of the internet, how it is supposed to work end-to-end so that everyone can be a sender. Thank you for listening. Thanks so much Astro for your great talk, reproducible building network infrastructure. Back here on the Herat stage, we of course collected some questions for you. The first one would be, did you have any non-technical issues with open public Wi-Fi? I mean, you already talked about it a bit. You explicitly use VPN for those ones. But what is your experience running those networks on a kind of non-technical level? Legal level, I guess. Because we were very aware of the legal issues in Germany, we decided to use a VPN provider from the beginning on. But the other aspect is that people don't scan my QR codes, people don't read my documentation, they just say, oh, there's a public Wi-Fi, I can use it. That's okay. And years later, they come to me and say, what, I can get like a private Wi-Fi. I've been using this open Wi-Fi all the time and people have been printing on my printer. I don't know who it was. All right, so this is also a kind of a positive experience that is possible as well as long as you're kind of legally safe to run your network. So, there's another question. Well, you made a bit of advertisement for NixOS, but there's a question, why didn't you choose GUX, the GNUL GUX Linux for your system? Too many parameters. No, there's a big NixOS community here and I actually like the language a lot. Okay, so, this would be, would have been an alternative, but you're clearly a NixOS fan and so you just decided to use that. Yes, I am a NixOS Fanboy, there's like a sort stack Ansible Chef and Puppet, but I really think NixOS is best. Nice. Another question we collected here is, do you have or run a pipeline on your Git repository, which is kind of related to the NixOS? So, the person that asks it says, I have no idea how NixOS is really working. So, is it kind of like a pipeline where you can deploy every change to your overall network infrastructure then? Or is it kind of implicit within NixOS then? Kind of implicit. So, all the deployment is self-scripted and was very trivial to do with NixOS. All right. So, you just run the updates on NixOS and everyone just gets the latest infrastructure there. All right, with this. And yeah, with another thanks to you, Astro, to Dresden, we can end this talk. And again, thanks for watching here on KAUS, ZONE TV, live from the Potsdam stage. See you for the next talk.


Hello and welcome to this session in which you would look at elimination entries specifically that deals with depreciable fixed asset transaction. In the prior session we looked at non-depreciable fixed asset. Depreciable is a little bit challenging than non-depreciable because you have a deep depreciation to deal with. Now bear in mind before we proceed I would like to remind you this lecture is designed for CPA candidate. So this is basically a review although I explain although I do examples but nevertheless I believe I give you an overview. If you are interested in more detail so for example if you're taking this course from A an accounting perspective course like advanced accounting please go to farhatlectures.com. As a matter of fact if you want to download the slides and work multiple choice you have to go to farhatlectures.com but the point is if you want more please visit my advanced accounting course. So depreciable fixed asset well depreciable means what it means the asset is depreciated in contrast to land so we're not talking about land anymore we're talking about equipment we're talking about machinery we're talking about furniture computers so on and so forth. So when an asset is exchanged between two companies have an parent subsidiary relationship the carrying value of the asset in the consolidated financial statement so when we prepare the consolidated financial statement the book value the carrying value should equal to the original value that would have been reported of the selling company. So if the parent company sold it to the sub when we prepare the consolidated financial statement the original book value or the cost minus accumulated depreciation should appear in the consolidated as if the sale did not occur. What does that mean? It means also that any gain or loss resulting from the intercompany transaction is also eliminated so we have to basically restore the original cost and we have to eliminate any gain or loss. In fact it's considered to be realized from the use of the asset which reflected by the yearly depreciation adjustment so part of that gain will be realized we'll see how later on in a journal entry through the depreciation adjustment okay we will see in the following example that assets cost accumulated depreciation and depreciation account are usually subject to adjustment for the purpose of consolidation and don't worry we'll work an example illustrating this concept. Let's take a look at this example on January 1st X4 company A sold the machine for 720 000 to company B. We're going to assume for this example company B is the parent company the machine had a net book value of 625 000 and that's a result of the difference of a million in cost and accumulated depreciation of 375 company A which is the sub acquired the machine at the beginning of the year and is depreciated using the straight line method of depreciation with a depreciation with an estimated useful life of eight years and no salvage value and company B accounted for the machine using the same assumptions now prepare the eliminating entries required for the consolidation purpose well let's kind of think about what we need to do well this transaction consists of an upstream sale because we're going to assume company A is the sub and company B is the parent now we're selling A is selling to B it's an upstream sale however given that A is given that A is a wholly owned by B no controlling interest is involved simply put we're going to assume there is a 100% relationship between the two therefore we don't have to worry about non-controlling interest now if you want to learn about non-controlling interest this is where you would go to my advanced accounting course but I don't want to complicate it for you because on the exam they don't you don't have to worry about those type of details in your advanced accounting course you might have to the gain is 95 000 how did we compute the gain well the machine we sold the machine A sold the machine for 720 000 the book value is 625 the difference between 720 what you got for the machine and its book value will give you the amount of the gain so you need to know how to compute the amount of the gain for the purpose of consolidation as well as the for the purpose of property, plant and equipment also the asset and its accumulated depreciation should be adjusted to their original balances in the selling company books on the date of the sale so when we prepare consolidated financial statement we have to go back and report the book value which is cost minus accumulated depreciation as of the as of the date of the transaction because we assume that we have to nullify basically because the transaction is between A and B so the easiest way to prepare the eliminating entries is to start by remembering what journal entries do we do by what journal entries do we prepare by both companies at the time of the sale simply put looking at the original entry will help us understand what do we have to do next now before we proceed any further most likely you are a CPA candidate if you are reviewing this session and if you are great you are looking for some additional help you have arrived my website forhatlectures.com can be an excellent supplemental tool I don't replace your CPA review course Becker, Wiley, Gleam, Roger, whatever you are taking miles in India I don't I am a useful addition I can help you understand the material better I explain it differently it's it's a monthly access if you cannot afford the monthly access please email me and we can talk about an alternative arrangement if you have not connected with me on LinkedIn please do so take a look at my LinkedIn recommendation like this recording share it with other connect with me on social media and by the way I give you access to almost 2500 practice questions and almost 1500 of previously released AI CPA questions please check out my website so let's take a look at company A which is the selling company and company A would receive cash of 720,000 which which happens to be the sub they will that's how much they received cash they need to remove the equipment for a million remove accumulated depreciation which is this is going to give us the book value of 625 then also they're going to have to credit again why because they book again they sold it now when we prepare company and company B we cannot have that game company B will debit the machine for 720,000 and they will credit cash well what's the problem here the machine is overstated when we prepare the consolidated financial statement the machine is overstated but here's what we have to do in addition company B recorded the depreciation expense given that it continues with the same assumption now what's going to happen is their cost went up they have five years left so if we take 720 divided by five it's going to give us a yearly depreciation of 144 for company B for company B now we have to know how much was company A depreciation because we only have to book company A depreciation in the consolidated which we will come back and revisit this so you need to understand this is company B depreciation entry on their books now as a result of the consolidation work paper including two we have to include two eliminating journal entries the first one is to adjust the asset carrying value back to its carrying value on the original seller which is company A and eliminate obviously the gain and the second and just adjust an entry so let's do that so the first thing we're gonna do we're gonna debit the gain so we have to remove this game how do we remove the game we debit the game we have to debit the machine 280,000 why because we have to restore the machine to the million dollar because notice it was if we look if we look at it from a T account perspective if this is the machine we had a million dollar and the cost then we then we we credited the machine a million we credited the machine a million and we debit the machine 720 we need to go back and put the machine back to a million therefore we have to debit the machine 280,000 so we debit the machine 280,000 let me do this one more time okay if this is the machine account and what we did is we credited the machine a million which is to remove the machine the old machine and we debited the machine for company B 720 well that's going to give us a credit of 280,000 so we need to remove this credit to go back to the original cost therefore we debit the machine 280,000 also we have to restore the accumulated depreciation that we removed because when we sold the machine we get rid of the machine we get rid of its accumulated depreciation now we have to go back and restore the accumulated depreciation which will take a credit so this is to restore the machine basically to restore the machine to its original book value this is the original book value or the original carrying value and eliminate the gain we did this also we have to book the difference in depreciation expense now how do we do that now remember the depreciation expense for the original company was 125,000 per year for the original company which is company A the depreciation expense for company B was 144,000 well guess what now our depreciation is overstated by 14,000 which is the difference between 144 and 125 which is a million dollar divided by eight years well what do we have to do we have to reverse back out reverse credit depreciation expense 19,000 debit accumulated depreciation 19,000 this is also for the consolidation purposes so our depreciation expense is not overstated and our accumulated depreciation is properly stated now this is what we have to do in the eliminating years what do we have to do in the future in subsequent years so that's very important it's important to note that unrealized gain or loss on the intercompany sale of the machine is allocated over the machines remaining useful life so what's going to happen we're going to chip away that gain or loss for that matter in subsequent year the first eliminating the journal entry would be the following here's what we have to do we have to debit retained earnings 76 let me show you the entry debit the machine 280 and credit accumulated depreciation so after the first year what's going to happen is this if you remember what we did is we booked we booked an additional we had to remove an additional depreciation of 19,000 by debiting accumulated depreciation and credited depreciation expense what that did is basically started to account for part of the game now we accounted for 19,000 of the game so the game was the original game was 95,000 a year later we are chipping away at the depreciation expense and as we chip away from the as we reduce our depreciation expense our game goes up we are recognizing the game so this is basically here what we did is as we depreciate accumulated depreciation and credit depreciation expense technically yes we are fixing the depreciation but we are also starting to recognize the game you remember what I told you earlier let me go back and show you what I told you earlier and I told you I will I will explain this one work an example is as we are going to we are going to chip away not chip away we're going to account for the gain let me just show you any gain or loss from this temporary transaction is eliminated in fact it's considered to be realized from the use of the asset which reflected in the yearly depreciation so now what we did is as we are reducing our depreciation expense per year as we are doing that we are realizing that gain so and by the time we get to year two the subsequent year the gain is no longer 95,000 why because we already reduce our depreciation expense by 19 and that's gonna keep us 76 and the following year we'll do the same thing so as we debit retained earnings because we can no longer debit gain gain is gone because gain is a temporary account we're gonna in future years we debit retained earnings and we reduce the amount by accumulated depreciation and we still have to go back and debit the machine for 280 as we did in the original year then we have to do one more entry and that is what to do what to chip away the depreciation expense so next year it will be 76 minus 19 will be debit retained earning and this will be minus 19 for accumulated depreciation now again I'm not gonna say this is a difficult topic but I'm not gonna say it's an easy topic this is a review if you feel like this is I went a little bit too fast that's fine that's why I have an advanced accounting course that you can look at this much much more in details actually my advanced accounting course I go to three years okay which is it's not really required for the CPA exam but if you need it if you want to have a good understanding why not other you can find this on four-hat lectures and on four-hat lectures you can work MCQs look at additional exercises study hard the CPA exams worth it good luck and of course stay safe


Good morning cyber traders welcome back on this lovely Thursday the 9th of January has everybody doing good. See you all Bonnie bill Can't get to see you all Dave Chuck Alright, good. Good. Good. Thank you By the way, I want to do a quick little shout out to Mike see Mike see just posted a really really nice Referral on on Facebook and just like to thank it. That was really nice of you listen Those really really do help, you know when it comes into the trading industry just want to kind of remind everyone I know every there's a lot of schools out there Nobody knows who to trust and so on there's a lot of good ones a lot of bad ones out there and Your experience in your feedback to everybody else out there to know exactly, you know before they make a very very big investment education You know is important to us. So thanks again for that Michael Michael see I really appreciate that and if all of you guys To do that, you know put a post a no article on Google and Facebook really really been helping us I know I we haven't we have we've done a really bad job of Doing that and asking people and and had fell way way behind But you know, I think it's now was just starting to say, you know what there's a lot of other other schools out There they're doing better on us on stuff like that and and we're getting a lot more bad feedback from people You know, I'm seeing it over again people are learning from other people like, you know What makes you different than them and this and that I thought they were good, you know They're great marketers and stuff like that. So, you know what your feedback is very very important to us. So appreciate that No problem. Thanks guys. So let's go over and see what happened yesterday You know what yesterday morning was actually I didn't like the pre-market I kind of told you that but I said listen things are probably gonna change You know, something's always pop up out of the blue and start coming out out of the woodworks And you know, it actually ended up being a pretty decent day There were a couple of nice little moving stocks out there and I just want to touch upon it and before we do that, you know Talk about the ones that are moving this morning Just want to kind of cover what actually did pretty well yesterday So we had a couple of good ones like to start off with LK. So LK has been really really good for us Oh, what happened here?   I Hate hate it We go All right, so LK had a really nice pop yesterday one from 34 to 36 Let me fix the time frame over here Let me change this up a little bit timeframe here Four minute looks pretty good. There we go. So you can see how the stock went from over from 34 all the way to 39 Really nice mover a little bit more of a fast-moving stock. Remember the stock that we've been watching at 20s and And literally stock is almost a double, you know, people always look at it and say hey Did you see what happened with Tesla? You know yesterday? I mean people email like Tesla. Yeah, great Yeah, okay, you go buy a full 500 dollar stock. I rather go trade a 20-dollar stock But you could do it just with that remember at the end of the day looking to make money great story great Great for the market great for the industry, you know Mark has been doing phenomenal look We're up a hundred points already remember I told you about all those haters out there You know worried about this where I told short the damn market. Why are you asking me? Do you really think it's going down short the market, you know sure enough? Let me tell you not want to stop breaking all-time highs. All right, because that's when the short start covering We all know about short squeezes, but anyway, this stock was a really nice one yesterday right aid Want to bring that up hop that the open and then ran early in the afternoon. You could see that one too Did really well.  Yes a little little volatile though for some of us there F cell was phenomenal.  Where'd hell that come from, right? And it was moving this morning, too I put that one on the watch list on the morning watch list F cell But that's selling God look at this thing 50 cent stock went to almost three dollars look at it yesterday It just did not stop. I mean we saw it right around What was it one two ten that think it was remember 220 and then you could have still jumped in and did pretty well stock trades Look one point four million shares already trade in pre-market. So um, the only bad thing is it is not It's not a Nasdaq national stock, which you know, I'm not a fan of all right SAVA was another one that did was a nice morning move runner up there And then obviously the big drop in all the old with gold I mean you had nugget all them they all took the drop but that was also pretty good So anyway, that's what you missed, you know for all the YouTube and Facebook people watching right now And for all the people that didn't show up for clash yesterday in the trading room But don't worry listen that's going to archives every day's a new day.   We did really well with the swing trade on this one We saw the stock when it broke its support levels right around $20. It went to 22 We had that big gap up, you know, and then all of a sudden, you know That was late December and then sure enough. We had another big gap up from 126 to 130 so that stock look where it is now. It's at 130 was almost 130 to 70 So that stock has been a good swing trade also I don't know if you guys jumped on to it But I know we're doing pretty well on that one one stock them really ticked off at myself for and I wish I didn't sell it But you know what you hear so many big rumors about it uber uber on a few guys We haven't checked back on a little bit look where it is guys went to what 34 bucks We were trading the stock right on 28 29. I was getting very skeptical stock is It's really hard to day trade the stock right here But you know what if she broke is she breakthrough that this resistance levels right around here? Listen the stock can go in the 40s again. Remember the reason why we had that big drop and this is where it kind of freaked me out Why would the CEO sell you know, you know and was it 80 90% of his profit share? I mean that's absolutely no sense. You know, I mean why would if you loved your company Why would you sell it unless he had to resign? I don't know but you could read the news on it But there's only stock that is it was not a very good swing trade for me because I got out of it I tried it and after hearing the news I'm like, you know what because remember swing trading is a lot more riskier another good day trade that we swing trade We did pretty well. I don't know if you guys still have it But I still I'm still holding on to it. Is this one right here at this was great The Qg en remember this one stock got crushed went from 41 down to 30 We had a nice little gap up so on it was a great day trade It's not going up as much as I thought it would be but if it does break this 34 The stock could break out it to start filling in the gap right there. So that's a good one So that that that goes our swing trades. Let's go hop over here on our day trades now what we got going this morning We got the VB IV all right VB IV this stock, you know, once again, unfortunately Not a NASDAQ national Okay, but it's got some great volatility. There's a hundred thousand shares the stock trades a lot of volume look at it 3.5 million shares are you trading? I'm looking there. Just as a nice iceberg order just came out and buck 80 Right there. It's having a tough time breaking it. You could see it. It did it already right around here We fixed the time frame on this because this is doesn't really help us Looking at a loner term look at let me get into a two minute and two minutes I didn't look that good.  So if it breaks out, we'll keep an eye on it AGTC another one here's another one. You could see it's a 52% It's right over there on the net on the biggest percentage gainer of the day But I don't know what happened at the 730. She's kind of flat line. So we're from seven dollars to six thirty She's kind of holding here. It's got proof. Once again, great volume. I mean stock traded 2.6 million shares just in pre-market Not really seeing a substantial amount of iceberg orders out there. There is something there's a big buyer at that I'm looking over here on the level for around 620. You got some little resistance levels at 650 but I'm not really seeing like the tens and the 20 thousands, you know So, you know, we're gonna keep we'll have to wait and that probably explains why hasn't really gone anywhere as of right now peak PCK another one that came up on the watch list. Okay, so peak Come on buddy. All right, 29. It's up 29% decent volume 81,000 shares. Oh, there you go Actually, a guy just got taken out by the way AGTC whatever happened is just pop. Let me just go back to it AG somebody must be listening to us I don't know what's going on. Yeah, you can see it right there. It just made that little quick little pop right there See it right there. It just made a little move that one minute. It just ran from 360 It's already I mean at 630 now. It's at 670 now Starting to build some 660 start making a big pop right there. All right peak another one Let's bring up that one that I just Also had right here. This stock has a pretty decent buyer right around three dollars Seeing some good iceberg orders right there. It guys been out there for a little while huge buyer right around 280 Okay, I know that's a little bit out of the way, but the only bad thing is breaking lower lows So let's see right around that support levels You could see you had some Bigger share volumes over here on the green and on the red that was not bad Everybody's talking about bed bath and beyond now this stock if you were here after hours, holy crap. This thing was Awesome, okay, so it is down. It's down 12 percent. I'm gonna have to change the chart here But yesterday if you if you watch the earnings announcements on this stock You cleaned up because the stock gap down or from 1660 down to 12 bucks and then shot right up to 15 Even if you check if you chase it a little later, you know, you could have still got it at 1415 We're no way to 15 but you know, this stock was a fun After hours trade and you could see it clearly kind of came right down. It was almost kind of you know You could see it right there was easy you could it does like taking change from a little kid but fast-moving stock and You could see it stock is Not well, just be very careful if you're trading the stock this morning We've trained the stock in the past two more stocks. I got in the watch list turn is another one. Oops spelt it wrong TR FN TR FN Not turn I spelt it wrong. I'm sorry about to tu FN. What else wrong me this morning? There we go All right, so this stock is taking a very very big hit it's down 25 percent 70,000 shares spreads really really big right now Which you want to be a little concerned about and you got a nice little it's kind of holding here once again As long as it's not a pharmaceutical stock, we know they come back, which it's not as a software tech company She is testing some support levels coming up that won't keep an eye on and then the F cell also and the I'm gonna throw the LK on there. That's a pretty big list for a for a but that's typically normal for a Thursday So there's your watch list. That's we're gonna be trading now Remember listen if you lay here for the first time or you've been watching this a few times That's just what we've been trading so far in pre-market. That's been some of the swing trades I've been pretty attracted that we've been doing so far But like what happened yesterday wasn't a good pre-market But we only we had to wait until the market opened up and all of a sudden We just have a whole whole new recipe of stocks that came in that made it things a lot more fun to trade So that's pretty much we're gonna do so any by the way anything. I'm missing Anything I'm missing lift moving pretty moving pretty well charlie saying you know what regarding about the lift trade It's not moving as nice as as uber plus it's twice to almost twice the money, you know, almost no 30 40% more I was a big fan of lift, but I don't know keep an eye on it Maybe maybe has to do something what's going on in Vegas right now with the the the electronic show I think they kind of show off this You know a new uber flying cars Maybe I'll be I'll be pretty cool. That's you were gonna be like the Jetsons All right, so that pretty much does it guys the wings is one more. Yeah, listen, I know I saw that one also Wayne the s and C a is worth watching just bring that back up It's got a nice little push got great volume, you know I only can think I didn't like about is what happened our 8 o'clock. You had that big gap up We went from like 170 look at those candlesticks right there So that's the only thing I was a little concerned about but we it's worth watching you can put our second protocol All right.

Hi, my name is Jennifer and we all attend CCV and we're in Dimensions of Self Society and we're here to talk about what we learned. I'm Ashley. I'm a first-time student here at CCV and I'm studying nursing. I'm Nor and I also go to CCV and I'm studying business. I'm Jackson. I'm attending a class at CCV during my high school. What did you learn from class? What I focused on on my research paper and also my personal project was the aging population in Vermont. I currently work in the healthcare field and so that was something that interests me and something surprising that I found out which kind of shocked me was that by 2035 the Census Bureau estimates that the population age of people 65 and over will outnumber children for the first time in US history. What did you learn, Jackson, in class? My personal memoir that I wrote, I focused more on veterans in Vermont. I researched and wrote about how veterans, there's just so many different stereotypes surrounding them when they come back. Once they leave for war, they're not really the same no matter where they go and whenever they come back. What did you learn, Nor? In class I learned that there's many multiple ways of learning from each other and everyone has different opinions and their own biases on the world and I thought that was really interesting to hear from my peers. I studied homelessness in Chinning County and in Vermont and one of the main problems we are having is affordable housing and I think that's one of the biggest issues around homelessness in Vermont and Chinning County today. I also found that too with the growing aging population, that's one of the biggest issues as well and also when we did our project where we had to go out and interview people we focused on who in our community people thought was the most vulnerable population and actually what shocked me the most was that I actually didn't even think about was that a lot of the answers that we got was the youth. Everyone said youth. Everyone said that it was like their first option and we didn't think about it until after for sure and yeah because they need, they're not, yeah I don't know but I have to explain that but yeah they need an adult to help them and they're more vulnerable than just an adult who's 25 who's almost is a 16 year old who just got kicked out of her mom's house and doesn't know how to live on her own so yeah this is an eye-opener because I really don't think about it either. Yeah. What about your guys' video? So we focused mainly on like if people thought things were actually getting better in Vermont like for affordable housing and just society as a whole. We walked around in Ronewski for a little bit but ended up going over to Church Street and we got quite a few good answers there. We got both answers from people out of state which was kind of interesting to hear how like they were just visiting on the time, visiting family and they're impet on how they thought our little society was going around here. Do you have anything? And so what did I mean what what kind of answers did you get do people believe that? We kind of got a mix there is a pretty clear divide that there's a lot of shocked people though like when we actually said the world is getting better there's less people on the streets and stuff like that it definitely seemed like people thought that the world was just changing for the worse people are going homeless they didn't have enough to eat no roof over their head so it was nice to be able to give them a different point of view. Yeah because I you know I would have thought the same thing with us focusing on you know the aging population and you know homelessness you know we we were on the other side of that. So well the other thing that I also think is that has a lot to do with what we were talking about about social media and media outlets and what they provide to us and I mean a lot of that tells us a lot of negative stuff so I mean it's hard for us to believe that the world's getting better better if we're getting provided all these negative things like there's 95 homeless in the spot right here we see a picture but you don't see that person walking up and trying to give all them a warm mail you know it's more negative stuff so I think that has a lot to do with why people think the world is getting worse and better. It definitely seems that society as a whole like we most people don't read stories that are like happy sort of like cheerful like we want to know like what's wrong in the world like either because we want to fix it or we want to feel better about like where we are ourselves it definitely seems that horror stories like just stories about war sell better. So if you want to take a moment or a few minutes to watch our video on the vulnerable population we can show you that now. In your opinion who do you consider is a vulnerable population and why? Actually those who don't who can't afford living in Winooski or Burlington so the homeless women in shelters who are victims of domestic violence and abuse.  In your opinion who do you consider is a vulnerable population and why? Youth mostly because there's not enough outreach is not enough education on what government is actually offering for educational programs and for money for grants for training programs and there are a lot of them available and I'll tell you in a minute what they are. Do you think the community provides enough resources for the vulnerable populations? No. In your opinion who do you think who do you consider is the most vulnerable population and why? The most vulnerable population and why? I don't know women help battered women. Why do you say that? Why because I'll tell you what there's not enough places for them to go out of Mexico.  Do you think they could do more? I think there's more money to do more. Yeah like what could you give us more of an idea? Well they spend about about a million dollars a year on the roads so half that could get these people off the street you know and it's winter here is bad when it is very bad so a lot of our homeless go to jail just to get off the street so if there's money to patch a sidewalk or fix a pothole then that should be money to build one of these buildings for the homeless. What more could we offer the vulnerable community thank you. What useful resources do we provide the community that are actually helpful? Here's the question so for for homeless for youth for just about any age group and it doesn't even really matter if you have good savings or not savings there's the Vermont Department of Labor which is on Pearl Street if you go to the second floor and you ring the you have to ring the buzzer give them a little call and they'll come down and get you and they have a program for apprenticeships and you can they have a list of sponsors that of people who have in the past given apprenticeships to people the apprenticeship program is quite detailed and it's this is a huge program that will help a lot of people. Awesome thank you. I really want people to know about this because. Yes thank you. Another program is if you are of college age and I think actually you can do it in high school too is the VSAC non-degree grant and they told me that the average Vermont resident you have to be a Vermont resident to get it you can receive seven grants in your lifetime maximum cap but the grant amount is 2,500 bucks you can do a lot with 2,500 bucks think that the city needs to take one of their staff members because they got a whole room full of people in the Department of Labor upstairs a lot of people and make one of those people as somebody who walks around on the street and approaches homeless people goes to the food shelf goes to all these places where people have challenges goes to the refugee communities goes to the Department of you know the refugee program here goes to places that they know people are having check. Perfect. Thank you. He wants to run for mayor of Wanoos. You'd want it bud. Mr. Wilkins. So that was our video I hope you enjoyed watching that and as for you did you want to show your video? Sure if you guys would like to take a peek at our video right now we'll show a few clips. We're out here on Church Street for our dimensions of self and society class asking people if they think the world is getting better or worse and so far we've had some surprising answers. It's getting better and worse. I believe it's getting worse more in the way that it's getting better but because it's getting worse I think people are also becoming more aware which is really cool like especially politics I don't know a lot about politics but I know that people are like definitely wanting to vote more and all that so with every negative. It's both right like you have like good things and bad things you have but it's always been like that isn't it like yin and yang yeah so I think it's actually same. Yeah over like the last 20-25 years I feel like we've gradually been getting better but right now we're kind of at a turning point where we can go either way. Yeah it's kind of getting the world better if they like back people doing the right things that they supposed to do we will be getting right but if there is any hate or race then the world is not going to get better. Yeah Roman it's getting better it's a good place to stay and it's a safe place. I think it's getting better and hopefully Bernie can lead us somewhere. So we came out here with a few facts to tell you that it is getting better and things can be getting better and still be bad at the same time. Yeah that's awesome good for Roman. Yeah no doubt I'm a visitor so yeah it's all foreign to me but that's nice. And where are you from? I'm coming from like Long Island. Does that make you think that things could be getting even better? Yeah it could be getting better for that. But I didn't look that much homeless but it could be getting better. Do you think that that's going to continue to improve? Hey you know I think it's like you guys trying to do positive stuff like if everyone just did that like it would be a much you know it's going to work out. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoyed all the information we shared and you have a wonderful night.


What's up guys take down here back with a nether episode of storytime today is episode 13 yes lucky number 13 and today we're gonna be talking about Volunteering and let me explain that really quick first. So as you guys know because I've mentioned in the past I live in Canada more specifically. I live in Ontario and one of the rules or terms to graduate high school is You have to have 40 hours at least 40 hours of volunteer hours Submitted into the school before graduation So you have until you have from the ninth grade to the twelfth grade to get these 40 plus hours of Volunteer work so that's working at food banks or any anything like that and the school has a bunch of opportunities to get your hours to But it's mandatory that you get these 40 hours to graduate and when I was in high school a lot of people didn't believe that's an actual thing and They never got their hours and then when it came time to graduate. I know at least two people That were supposed to be graduating that didn't graduate because they didn't get their hours and to me it's Disappointing so many ahead of time. I got mine done by the eleventh grade, but a Lot of people just didn't believe that they could be held back for this reason and here in Ontario You can so if you're if you live in Ontario I recommend doing your 40 hours because you're gonna regret it in the long run But with that being said also when I was in high school a lot of people would fake their hour sheets they would either know somebody who knows somebody who knows somebody and They would get their sheets filled out and it'd be fake They never did any volunteer work But they'd submit it and the school would accept it because the school's not gonna know if they actually did it if they Have the actual person's signature on it. So a lot of the times it was fake. It wasn't legit hours. So a lot of people I know got their hours that way Unfortunately didn't I got mine the right way and I understand where the school Just the school board in the Ontario government's coming from it's to help the younger kids the younger people Volunteer give a helping hand. So I respect that a little bit, but Then again, it's so many people faking it. It's it's kind of pointless in my opinion. But anyways this video I'm gonna be talking more about My experience is volunteering so to start things off. I'll start with some of the smaller ones I remember one day we went to a farm in another friend We were there for six to eight hours. So that's the amount of hours. We got that day alone. So that was pretty good But we were working at a farm Doing heavy work and the school almost didn't accept it And we were the last people that were allowed to work at a farm just because technically the farmers could have hired somebody and Actually paid them for this work. So it's not actual volunteer work, even though we weren't getting paid We considered it to be volunteer work, but the school didn't because they could have paid somebody for the same job we were doing So I understand that but what we were doing is moving big patio stones in one of the cages for the animals So it was heavy work to me It shouldn't have been kids doing it because at the time we're like 10th grade or something like that Which is stupid have us doing it and then moving bales of hay. So that was the other thing and they're heavy bales I didn't know some bales of hay could be that heavy They were heavy and we did that for that whole time another one of the experiences I did for Canada Day is Two years two years in a row We would get four hours each year So we did it two years in a row and we would go to the Canada Day Canada Day event in Iroquois so that's that's close to that's the next town over from where I live that's where I went to high school and We would run the kids toy or the kids Event because it wasn't like my home like in my town where we had actual people come in they had volunteers do it So we would run the kids events. So like Mini putt I guess was one of them Catch I can't remember half the stuff, but I know I was in charge of the one where you'd throw beanbags and Try to get it in or try to get it past or try to get in a hula hoop every year they changed it So that's why I can't remember exactly And I remember they used to give me so much crap because mine would be the one people would win because mine was the easiest To win and they set the rules if we come they're like this is how far back they have to stand This age group has to stand here this age group has to end here This is how much they win if they get it in and people would dominate so then they came down to me like hey You're giving too much stuff when I'm sitting there thinking number one All the prizes are from the dollar store. It's not costing you too much You have about 50 items from the dollar store and they're cheap stuff So you spent what $50 you don't want to give it away. What are you gonna do throw it out at the end of it? Like shut up and just give the kids gifts It's makes them feel good because they're actually winning something that you guys planned It's like you don't want the kids to win But we did that two years in a row me and a group of friends every year with somebody like a group of different friends But we'd always have the same few I Went to a farm again. This experience was horrifying and makes me I really hate farms I don't like farm animals. I don't like any of that. So I know I'll never be a farmer and to me That's a good thing. I just don't like it, but We went we didn't know what we were getting into one of the friends dad set up a thing at a farm and three of us went and We each got a water bottle and we knew we were supposed to be there about eight hours and It's little did we know we're actually going to be in the hot It was one of the hottest days in the summer that we were gonna be in a field And he was actually gonna be nice and he was gonna double the hours So whatever if we earn it if we only worked an hour, we're gonna get two hours So he was gonna double up the hours just because of how much work this is Well, we never even finished the day. We just got an hour done. So let's talk about that really quick What it was is he drove in on a tractor at the bucket of the tractor we the three of us sat in it we got into the field we got out and Basically, he clear cut a field. He wants his new field and He would drive in the bucket and we were supposed to pick up these rocks sticks Well, most mostly rocks the sticks can deteriorate on their own But big bowlers toss in the bucket. They were heavy because it was a new field.  So I Mean I understand where he's coming from but we didn't know what we're getting into so we couldn't do that and then a majority of My volunteer hours. I actually got at the local food bank. This is where I get the opinion or my opinion of Whether food banks are good or bad because a lot of the food that comes in because of the government We can't hand out. So the volunteers actually get it. So that's why a lot of people in my hometown volunteer Because they know there's a great great possibility. They'll get a lot of free food because it's stuff We just can't hand out Because the regulations what people can get is limited now And I hate that and that was a few years ago. That was when I was in the 11th grade. So now it's probably way worse so stuff like they used to buy a big jar of peanut butter and They would split it up into little bottles or little Things and we they used to package it Then all of a sudden you weren't allowed to do that You're not allowed to touch the people's food even though we're also like it was all sanitary like it was strict We had to the bottles had to be bleached and cleaned out that way. We had to wear gloves We had to wear hair and that's I barely did any of this stuff, but I know there was a few times I had to stuff like shampoo like We're they're forced to buy small if we're gonna hand it out We have to hand out the whole thing to somebody so we were forced to hit by the small packages of stuff Which in the end costs a lot more like you can get a big one It's one price, but the small one's equal to a lot more. So the food banks are paying a lot more for this stuff You can't split up a bottle into smaller things You can't repackage in smaller quantities, which really sucks, but the major thing I did Was it was me my aunt she would wash The bottles in the bleach I would rinse them out dry them and then we'd done so we'd fill up garbage bags full We only did it once a week two hours each week And I did at least over over half of my hours were contributed because of that So I had my aunt to thanks for that, but I remember times There's a look the bakery far away and our local moving company was the one to take all the stuff So they decided to bring it back to our food bank, which is really good But none of the food from the bakery when I say bakery I mean sweet So I don't know what you'd call it, but there's berries and pastry stuff and mixed up some pies and cakes For some reason we weren't allowed to give that out to the people They kept a portion of it So a few pies in that or cakes or whatever it was the rest of it they split up amongst all of us volunteers. I Remember bags of popcorn whenever it's close to expiry date local food places would give it to us and then they distributed it to us because Even if they even if somebody that came into the food bank that needed it if they they're only allowed so much So even though they need it and we could have gave them more We weren't allowed to and I blame the government for a lot of that and that's why I don't believe a hundred percent in food banks I recommend donating Myself I really would donate, but it's like I would think about how I want to donate before just donating So a lot of the food that gets donated Actually doesn't go out to the people that need it The way I see it if you want to donate to food banks You should donate money because they actually take that money and they purchase stuff that they actually need that they can Actually distribute and give out to the people in need instead of giving them just food that you have or go out and buying food a lot of that they aren't allowed to give anymore, so it's hard to do but One end I understand why the other end I think it's pointless because it the food's just sitting there And then it ends up going to the volunteers because it's going to be expired and then they can't give it out But I just wanted a quick little story time video for you guys to share this experience with you So I hope you guys did enjoy and if you did please leave a thumbs up and I will see you guys in the next one take care peace
