So happy to see you. Thank you for watching and now with me on set. Let me just, so we're asking about jaji, min kwaansha wa jaji. Immediately kwaansha, wacha wawne kwaansha lafu, I'll tell you how I judge them. But I want you, I don't even know if we should just do like this. We need to go to Nambiwa High School and do like this. I'm an judge. I don't know where they told you to do this and then start clapping. Yeah, we should do that because these two ladies are phenomenal. It is my honor to introduce them to you. Good morning ladies. Good morning. Eru sungu inenda kisha, so don't worry ita ita kakasana. So, how are you? How are you? Wone itu na ni? Suzanamwe wangu wa shira. Kariupu sana wa wa? Bilhamu reivi. Mwen kwa shuwa na nilakumunika pujajkunzen kaka five minutes nka skip by. I like so, how do you have such nice hands? How long is it? Ay! Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay. Why? I'm not sure. I think it's five years. Ah, it's na shuwa. My twist. Anyway, that is not why we are here, is it? No. Why over here? What message do you have for us today? First is a message of love to all Kenyans. That's why I like them. I love them, all of them. At Lazma to Jupenda Kedogo, I love Jujja so much. That's where I come from. At this Covid time, to na wambia, to na wapenda sana, we sanitize, we wash our hands. But you say, we're washing our hands if we get to wash our bodies. So, what do I get? Someone who asked me, sisa tuto aga mi kono, tuto aga muli dini, mi kono tumi aga kutosha. So, I'm thinking, it's time to tell them. Okay, now I'm kono. Piya. Piya muli unaikunika. Kwa tu lemdu wa manomeni jashu. No? Manomeni jashu, lakini sisa yu jashu, shida kini kwa inanukanga. Nakuna kafi u-squizi. So ni hadi wa kwa kwa nyoba. Kuna jua, sisa kujana yu jashu, wa tutu tishaivi. Westa uti ya kwa imenda api. Ngi kwa anta kwanza amarize. Nini, think uta sama veni u-mese makusu kujad. Kujad, think yo ina kwaanga. Kwa kuna mtutu unaona, suji ni ina happeningi, kenda tu pahadi kuna yule ni mependa, yule... Anaka, suji kwa behave haji. Ya, alofu tena. And the worst part is, mwenye kupendi, aki fungu amu dumu, unampenda suji kuna indanga. It's true, it's true, it's true. Ha, ya. Okay, so sometimes we gotta go past the judgment that we have to nowuna. Okay. One of my favorite things about these two ladies is she was asked to come and sit, but she insisted that her friend comes to him. Guys, quins can shine together. Uumvuna tunashiraga tu kipigana ita on last time. Uumvuna tu penda ni aki. Look at how good they are doing na biuna penda ni aki. Anyway, again, that is not where we are here. So this humanitarian effort of yours, tell me, wakumitiru itza, ni na happen? These things started way long. I think when I was in Form 1. When I was in Form 1, I was busy trying to look nice doing funky's. No, no, no. I wasn't busy for that. I was busy trying to at least be good to other families who couldn't, especially Christmas. Sijoi celebrate Christmas kumamayango since Form 1. Nili celebrate Christmas na familia when I got married because my husband comes from Nyahururu. So your Christmas time to nenda Nyahururu. So that time, najiwa ili waifumatiru. Nikulima izo vitu. Wala li kwa mbidjadza kawana slikwim. Please take it back. A little bit of quickly. So nili kwa na, I remember the first time I borrowed money from my mum kawambia asini bayi ingwea Christmas, vene mezoe ya. Ani pay pesa nenda nika no nue. I went to, I identified a family wene, li kwa na ututuengi sana na hawa kwa able. Nika nenda, pesa nili kwa na doza ngo. Nika no nua chakula. Nika pika chakula mob iuskwa ya Christmas. Mama kani uliza hi chakula wene pele kwa. Nika mbia kuna friendi angun wene pele kia nenda kushinda na wao. So because I didn't have enough money to buy clothes for all of them, nika make sure tamini mevazili mba yambaya, alafu siku vaviyatu. Nika nenda atu kushinda na atutu kutu kiche zanini. That feeling was like wow. So since that time, Christmas is what I want to end up out there na celebrate na wa atutu na nini. And every time I do that niki rudi na jiski ya niko so fulfilled and that is how it became like a culture. Today if I see someone suffering sii atu na kongana pesa. I see lalangi. I feel like I don't have peace until I reach out to that person. Do you have a rainbow? I don't have a rainbow. Thank you. And if you have a rainbow you can say I'm a mouse. I'm a mouse with a Harley. I'm not sure if I'm a lady or if I'm a lady. Swally. Swally, swally, swally. So I'm sure if you have a type you can say it's a Julian. I'm a mouse with a type baby, genie, maternini. This place has no lights. This place has no lights. Oh, I see. I see you in the studio kufana wukai grammar. Zimapotea, unfortunately. So this is me when being with this is me. This is not me. This is not my face please. Okay? These lashes are not mine. Nice. When did you guys meet? Chedi, I used to see her on Facebook posting stuff about community. I used to do women empowerment giving skills to women. They say every single time I will see how it's like. I need this woman to be my friend. She just post again. I need this woman to be my friend. I would inbox her at time just chat kidugo-kidugo. Then we went to my tango lura. No, kusadinya, kushokia gado. Like that means when a lady wants to go home and say thank you to parents. So that is where we met now and we became friends. Now she's my best friend. And what connects us is community. Because we are doing stuff for the community. But right now what our organization do is we give sandai towels to public in my schools. Boys sandai towels. No boys, boxers and girls sandai towels. She's part of it. And right now we are here because of an initiative called Duda. Duda for Duda. She's my child. Yeah. After this nanda kuwana kumakuna nyumba available in Georgia this community is very, very nice. Very nice. Why do you do it though? Because majority of us and I think sometimes me nini kwa included. Daka even nijuli say okay. Society in Ataka Health but society with my infany nini nini kwa mamutu. Why should I now be the one munya atase kama nini nini nini nini just to help people. I don't even know who don't even know me. They don't even know if I can feed myself but somehow nafakwa nausetia. Why do you do it? I think like you said when you were in school you were just thinking there was some other things up on your head. A mamutu rofu. Ume wa toa wa. Where did they come from? Ya nisa kapu ebu mamutu. Ya a mamutu rofu. To be a cool girl. So when I became a mother everything changed and I don't know something about wanting to take care of us, thinking about us starting. But one thing about community is number one you get to know that it's not you who is having issues.  Ukenda kwa community unadju. Una endanga home kise masanti mungu niko sawa. So you stop focusing on yourself and your pain and you get to know let's say a lot of machine that I took at Kenyambia like I'm going through this and maybe something that I'm going through me kidogo. So you're like why would I complain and minyangu iko chini. And something else. You get to community work if you know the pain of not having. If you've ever experienced not having and you see that person in that situation you will definitely feel something. You'll definitely be obliged to help that person. Because sometimes you see someone sleeping on the floor. You have a bed but you know you've ever slept on that floor. So you will do everything possible to get that person a bed or even a mattress because you know how it feels to sleep on the floor. Although we have people who are raised up well but they have that passionate heart Ilea they want to help that person but mostly when you know the pain of not having it is not possible it's not easy for you to just find someone who don't have and just go. I love you number two. It all comes back to you. That is what people don't understand. People who don't give they only consume what they have but they don't get more. But when you give it's you know life is like an echo. It gives back what you've given. We go to the community sometime having nothing. Actually my last post on juja people Facebook page I told them mimi I do not have I have a big heart but I don't have big pockets but that will and it brings me these people supporting me to help somebody because the support I'm asking for is not for myself it's for someone else but when we do that everybody has a testimony I did this with a thousand Bob God rewarded me even more and even if you will not get back what you have given even if you will not get blessings after doing something where you are is already a blessing if you can afford a bed and there's someone sleeping on the floor then where you are is already a blessing it's something to thank God for. Yeah I like that something else happiness is in giving oh yes you feel happy when you give not when you receive honestly more happiness is when you give Manani inspire okay now let's zoom into this page this Facebook page you said it's juja people yes when did you like open the page what does it do keep posting and posting nimi mimi nimi napenda mimi open juja people ili funguliwa initially for juja people but I think right now it has like 30,000 followers it's a great page it has great people some are not from juja actually wamingia too but it has formed a family that is very very supportive I'm not behind it it was opened by very great minds Akina Julia Julia Smora Kina Jai Jai Judy James there's Patricia there's Kaibunga very great people and they have monitored it so well actually it has grown so well kuna there are days for marketing you know it's a great page so when I post on juja people people come through they love each other they love community work so much I get a lot of support from that group and I thank God for that how do you keep it transparent you have to say me nitu ana pochuka TV asma would demand on gas some type of sense to pay a person so I give you this money how are you going to assure me the viewer or me the giver that it pays a wendi po bainuele okay when I post it on juja people I again create a wazap group for that specific need then in that group I'll keep telling people Susan has given me 500 washera has oh washera is my husband sorry but he gives a lot so he gives me this amount of money so he has given me this amount of money and now the expenses I update them on each and everything then unfortunately for me when I go helping out there I don't leave the camera at home for one reason this person will help me ataha waniju some even send me money and I'm like let me add no no no don't add me on wazap but pole kwa wazap I'll just mention it someone has given me money then when I go out there they need to see what I have done so I'll definitely take pictures I'll take a look at the face of the book because I don't know what I have done so what I have done is that I will show them what I have done is that I will show them what I have done I will show them because of me so I will also feature but I want to show these people that this coin that you gave me these 100 bucks these 1000 bucks did this now I will show them what I have done but we have registered the group it's registered now very soon we will get a pay bill account number so at least when you are sending money okay now at this particular time when we are being told to stay at home oh sigiri physical distancing my friend here Meshkili am mask with her dear life so I'm very very proud of her so how are you dealing with that I will go pay any maatwanambiwa physical distancing and all these things but before that maybe we'll take a short break and then we'll be back in a minute kama asina tishu niko hei heivi kwa elbow noni siyambiki za

challenge it's a hashtag is queens wednesday hashtag is why in the morning or any other hashtag that you would like generally it's ok it's taku balitu na DJ manu piya mesema wu zile teizu tikwese zikwom how go pii atawezana thanks minituval or at color meba but i am not the important one here the important ones are sitting on this other side so apu kaku judge madame kwan me judge kwa na pesa mingi sana sana sana sana sana na umeshina apu kituambe unaga pesa just to confirm amen on a will mongu aone tuyo judgmenti ako ani peri ma pesa mingi mingi sana odo niko i have enough i would say kwa sababu when you have something and you have that little to give you have more than enough that's so deep yes however i have the people of Jujahua very supportive i have my husband he's also very very supportive and i thank him for for that my family as well they're very supportive mawambi and everything and for that i thank them so much ok just one last question mbuona mbuona sit kiyambuwa story doma mbuona inakagama kasi riko like it's like africans every time we hear about marriage in a suffering but you don't look like you're suffering you actually look happy na wewa mbuona kaivi na konatutuawi li like how how do you look una joneza mbalisha uniform ni mbrudisha ni wile next month and she's here telling me she has offspring like wow ah i'm liking what the lord has done for you it looks good on you ok so we were zeroing in on the kovid 19 situation and the humanitarian efforts in the Jujahua area in the Jujahua community so what does that mean once you've already ok we've cleared up the transparency with the funds usha patadu i usha baivi to what next what next after that tuna zipak we are feeding one family for a month actually the 21 days senizu naikwa za kuka nyumbani we feed the family for 21 days we have come up with a with an adopt a family initiative like you personally you can adopt one family the packages five cages six cages of unga three liters of mafuta four cage five cages of dengu is it green what green grams then five cages of beans totaling up to 21 90 that's like 2200 so you may decide to stand with that family it's a person the whole month you give the 21 90 or you send the 21 90 to a treasurer to buy for you and we distribute for you or you can visit the family personally with your package and see them we have a form where by when you visit that family they will feel they thank you they leave their contact so that in future you can even take on them that's your family because you've adopted them you can choose to take care of them for a month for another two months for another three years if you kulingana nawezo wako we have people who adopted them for three months ten families like that kulingana nawezo wako and we appreciate that then now that you have those packages they take door to door because the government doesn't allow calling them just you giving them like it's a campaign thing and I've come to learn that's a very nice thing even after COVID-19 it creates that bond that you visit a family and give them rather than ila yakuwa ita na wushana wakilu onginata wana haribu iso vitu because wana vishana when you visit that family na pata wana wa tia umainda I can even imagine ata wukenda kuakiesa sasa ata na deoneza kwa na pata ni dingi na oh so kwa na epeya we've gone to families hei tu na tukanga kwa I was telling my sister mimi yuki nuna matu dafkiri ani me buta bangi oh me liya mami me liya inna you find families that can't even afford a meal wana kwa mbia the last time me kula yukuwa they're trying to remember when they had the last meal and God has given you the opportunity to eat breakfast do it 10 o'clock hadi tuna nuna baka tuna kimbia to see to see nuna maze we have enough to eat and driven hadi sit-ups baka tuna vanya sit-ups but you'll find me uma liya zenini we musi tu cekia na yukuwa na bilha so it is it is a humbling activity and I thank God for that and people out there when you have food on your table just thank God okay so bilha maybe in conclusion tell me this could be a bit misconstrued again see if covid-19 perhaps the threat the threat of covid-19 was not around there would be a lot of political activity jut nenda kovot hivika ribuni and it would have been misconstrued a little bit to say maybe una pea kitu nuna funga macho so come ni nindo waku pekura is there any intention is there any political affiliation on my side no we get help still for politicians but we are before they come in we tell them this is not for political purposes so wezi ni pea peza and twist me so on my side it's not political and i think she also needs to answer that even though she is a leader that one we need to acknowledge what she is a leader but i think she kilam tuan isame you're an amazing chair leader bilha just stop by the way you're a good friend thank you leader tuongelia shek we will tell you about politics mingesema if it was political i would be i would be i don't know what by now because as i told you i started like 10 years ago mm hmm hey mazima tekulianza for 1 plus 10 okay so this thing is in me it is something that i do with so much passion that's like i have told you when someone is suffering i do not find sleep ata nizari buwati sometimes i am even tempted to pray to gods bonanga kutia elet akwe kuhu nja kibdoko sanita isame me kiyakaliya popoket mihata kitu because i want help someone and how many sasaiti pekaliwa sana nai kaafi i use India 7 naku wa ame ame kaminye so but anyway on some this is not political mm hmm i have nothing to do with political mind And if ever that day comes, and maybe I feel I want to have something political, it will not be because of what I have been doing. It will be because I need to get more empowered. Miha tia kusumboa kwa juja nina wa sumboanga. Find a case, we will cry together and bring them on board. I will tell them, 20 years ago I took an idea. But maybe when I am more empowered, I will be maybe having sources of money and stuff. That could be a plan B. But for now, nothing political, we are getting our blessings together. Even if a politician comes on board and does not have an idea, nothing political. Okay, you heard it straight from her mouth. How can we at home or there at home help you? We have a very supportive treasurer and very trusted treasurer. He was once a counselor in Georgia. And he is our treasurer. His number is 0725 282565. Okay, one more time. 0725 282565. Okay. So we just send any amount and then do we have to now send a message and explain how we are doing this for this. How much tomato then they will know what to do. No, unless if you want to be shown your family, if you want to adapt a family and you want to meet your family, then you can call either him or myself and you will be taken to that family, you adapt them and they will know nothing.  Okay, your last words? We do sanitizers. I'm a man of fact error. What? And Joe. How to kwezi aki? We cannot keep up. Aki sitaweza. I'm a family one. I'm a machine do kwezi aki. Okay. Most people are wondering how do I go to a shop and buy a sanitizer and I don't know whether it's like it or not. So kwenu nwa sanitizer, chkwa kibiri di joma. It's for chomeka, throw that thing. Oh, okay. No? Take a little bit. Yes, just a few drops. Choma. It's supposed actually to catch fire in sats. So if it doesn't, do you know what to say? Hume cheswo. Hume cheswo. Oh, okay. Yes. And we are calling ourselves Jujans for Jujan. Maybe someone is like why should I help and this is just a Jujan initiative. The point is charity begins at home. We can't be able to change the world if you can't be able to change where you are. So it's about me helping my neighbor so that we can go to that next lane. When we have like three lanes that are very, that are empowered, we can be able to change eight lanes. If we start with Jujan, trust you mi tunenda kiyambu. Shikaka nyamzima next. Naskia asa sa, think it's high time we started going international. She's, I just like the way she's talking. This is the box, she's over there. She's thought outside over there, over there. I'm very proud of you guys. Yes. I want to thank the Jujia people because they have been very, very supportive. Natuende lena yomuwa. Atabeli, when you are injured, there are so many people out there. We have to be from the U.S. Akina BFF, UK. We have people here. Akina Lusindishu, Canada. We are connected. We are connected. And we thank God for that. We also want to thank my family, my husband. They are very, very supportive. Very, very supportive. And my friends, I have friends. Jusia, the co-coordinators, Jusia wants to give him a kilo, he wants him to go to the East. In September. You can't count on him. You can't count on him. He's very close. There's another reason to come. Yes. He's happy about it because there's a kilo to one. He's jealous. He's jealous. He's jealous. handshi chamam miin me sketo ya kili mani na yo sigiweika wa na peliki and na fuuud marli sorry sorry sorry we gotta leave we gotta go okay adanimeFi kiki tabu ring the bell it's time to go thank you so much for staying with us thank you so much for coming you guys have been filled na watu ita bidi sasa after this, to okay. Ye ai, sifani nihame, it's okay. Atwa'it 5-4 Facebook, atwa'it 5-4 channel, tata hashtag is white in the morning or Queens Wednesday. Please do not go away, we still have so much to give you.


Welcome to my Muse for October 2019. In all fairness and openness and honesty, I am filming this at the end of August just FYI. Currently my Muse is all over the place to be perfectly honest and frank but we're going to try to focus on talking about one thing right now. So one thing right now and has been, since I moved, which is just shocking in a way to me, has been sewing. This is a wall hanging piece I did for a digital background exchange collaboration I'm doing with Bea Grob and Peg Robinson and Chelsea. I'll link the video for this in the description below. This was the summer collab and summer fabric, summer colors. And then I did one that was fall of course because we're doing it seasonally. After I did my art piece for this, which I will link, I'll put a picture of what I did with these right about here. I love the way it turned out it's hanging in the guest room at least at the moment. Does that mean it's not for sale? No. If you're all interested let me know. But after I did it, I thought how interesting would it be to print these fall backgrounds on some more fabric and maybe make some pumpkins with them. I think that would be a really cute way to do it is to print some of your favorite digital backgrounds on fabric and make something with them for your house or your space. Now something that doesn't need to be washed because although in the video I show how to sort of seal these so you can work with them, that doesn't mean they're waterproof. In fact they're not. I have an inkjet printer. I can guarantee you if you try to wash this it's going to run all over the place. But that doesn't mean you can't make cute little decorative pieces with it like these pumpkins. Again I'll put the video in the description below for these. You couldn't make a table runner with it. Again though you wouldn't want it to get wet or dirty because you can't clean it. You can make a little wall hanging with it. You can make a pencil bag with it. Something that doesn't need washing. But these little pumpkins would be so cute wouldn't they? So my muse is all right all about right now. She's all about exploring needle works and crafty things I haven't done in a while. Some embroidery right now. I'm all about Shibori embroidery. I just can't help myself watching the videos. So if I start doing that and some things you'll know why. If you do want to see what I get up to and you want to follow me on social media or support the free content here on YouTube or over in the Facebook art group so you can click on my link tree list of links in the description below and you'll find me all over the place. You'll find my social media links. You'll find my Etsy store and all that stuff. Any relevant links for things like creating these pumpkins are free here on YouTube and I will put the links down below. But I really am all about picking up the embroidery needles. Maybe the crochet hooks that's like on my mind at the moment. Making these little pumpkins which I hadn't made in years. I'm really all about revisiting the old and how can I work it into the new. Where can you take that this month? I would love to know. If you're part of my creative year let's start a discussion over there and let's share what you're doing. I would love to see and I'd love to see it especially in conjunction with our theme this month which is communication and our challenge which is perseverance. Yeah I was just having trouble reading my own writing sorry which is perseverance. I would love to see the two work together into a discussion. It is nearing the end of the year and wrapping up the year. It's been a lot of fun and bringing the old forward with the new and working it into our new space our new lives. I'm all about that. Taking in the old traditions and making new out of them it's a wonderful thing. So what can you do with that and where can you go with that? That's all about what I'm exploring right now and I would love to see what you do. Don't forget to like share and subscribe and check out those links they're in the description below. If you have any questions comments or concerns please leave them. I will reply I promise I check every day and the most important thing is to go out and have a great day and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. Have a happy Halloween everybody this month at the end of the month and I will see you later. Bye guys.


I didn't think there was any sort of medication out there and it got to a stage where there was a lot of times that I thought about committing suicide. With a headache you can still manage, nine times out of ten you can still manage to do things, you can still complete your task. When you get to the point of a migraine, it actually is disabilitating in a sense that you can't stand up, you can't think, you just can't do anything and then you get physically sick. When we try everything, we're up to the, we're off for the major cure because it's ruining our lives, but it's not just our lives it's ruining, it's ruining the lives around us. Recently in March 2017 I got a onset of a migraine and within about 30 seconds a hot flush went through my body and I collapsed in a lift. I sent a neurologist so I went to him for two years on different medications each month so he'd walk in, prescribe me with medication, try that for a month, didn't work, try another medication, so that didn't work and I just started living with the thought that migraines are going to be a part of my life forever.  There was a study that was done in Mayo Clinic Catchment area a few years back where they surveyed the close to 2000 chronic migraine sufferers and they asked two simple questions. How many patients with the diagnosis of migraine do actually get a diagnosis as migraine and also very simple advice what to do with an acute attack of headache or other neurological symptoms and what to do in relation to prevention. The shocking answer was this number was somewhere around less than 5%. Less than 5% of them would walk away with a diagnosis of their medical disorder. Through the migraines and through the effect of my lower back I've been able to function or work at the level that I wanted to so then it becomes a budgetary problem as well because I can't generate the income that I would like to, you know the medications have become very expensive and I'd like to sort of be very smart and careful about how and when I take the medications as well rather than just okay well I can take them all the time. There's a tendency to self-medicate particularly with painkillers just so that they can get to the next meeting or to the next appointment or the next soccer game. This often leads to a very vicious cycle of ongoing headaches and migraines and it's not one that usually just resolves on its own. They need to take a very active role in their self-care and get treatment for their migraines. Public disorders and migraine are actually the leading cause of disability in most countries and this is indeed the case in Australia. The estimated number of migraines sufferers in Australia is just over 5 million so it is a huge burden in this country. The difficulty is if you look at the public hospital funding and university funding and funding support that we had from national funding bodies such as NHMRC, when it comes to headache disorders it is either nil or hardly any. So there's a huge discrepancy. On one hand we have this disorder which is causing huge amount of burden crippling the health of fellow Australians and on the other hand we put very little money to find answers to solve this problem. If you get on a disability pension of any type you have to have a rating of 20. They see chronic migraine sufferers while from what I'm led to believe it's just not on their list of disability you have to have a score of 20 and I rated a five with all of the evidence that I submitted to them. The quality of my work hasn't slipped. It might be a little bit slower only because the cognition is not firing on all cylinders but I actually get praised for my work and the level of the work is actually just as high and I tend to be a fast worker anyway so it tends to even out. But unfortunately because I do tend to have to have some days off or whatever I had to be let go because I couldn't work full time as such because I wasn't there all the time. There's a huge economic impact of migraine worldwide. Australia in particular with just more than five million migraine sufferers in this country. Majority of them being working class people there would be significant hidden cost as well as non-hidden cost. There would be cost of frequent hospitalization. There would be costs of frequent visits to doctors. This becomes even more worse as there is the strong stigma against migraine and headache disorders even in the medical community. On one hand the most doctors believe that this is a very simple headache and nothing serious but on the other hand these are serious complex neurological disorders that consume a lot of the doctor's time to take histories, examine and try to resolve problems. So the cost of migraine to this country although we have not studied this formally would be in the realm of trillions. Therefore the supporting proper migraine care programs and supporting translational research would definitely benefit the policy makers very rapidly compared to other disorders. I do have a job that is higher responsibility. It's stressful but I like my job. I like the stress that comes with the job and the first thing I hear is like you're stressing too much, work is just too heavy too.  But I don't believe it's that. I think it's something, you know and it was just such a bad timing because I had my annual review so I even mentioned the fact that, you know, I'm due for not a pay rise but a promotion because I'll bet, you know, that comes with extra responsibilities and be aware of what you wish for because, you know, if you pretty much, I'm just rephrasing but saying you can't handle this stress, how can you handle a promotion, you know, what comes with it. So it is frustrating. The most pervasive and damaging myth or misperception is that it's not, in fact, a real medical disorder and if people could just cope a little bit better then they wouldn't be suffering so much. But that's absolutely not the case. It is a true medical disorder and there are numerous different sorts of treatments that are available for it. When I first started getting them, my daughter was five, my son was seven.  Migraine is much more common in women. It's three times as common in women as it is in men. This is primarily because of the relationship between estrogen and migraines. Many women have migraines that are triggered by fluctuations in estrogen and this accounts for the pattern of migraines that occurs at various stages of the reproductive cycle. I have patients of mine whose brain gets sick a few hours to a few days prior to get their headache and then they would go through the headache phase and then after headache phase they would have a few days, sometimes even more longer, which we categorise as post-grown after the illness that contribute to a lot of agony also. This may include severe nausea or trouble-tolerating light or disorientation and not being able to perform their daily life. It's certainly true that it may not be easy to identify medication over your headache and one good way of doing it is for the patient to keep a diary which indicates exactly how often their headaches are occurring but also indicates how often they're using medication. I actually find one of the best ways is to ask how many days in a month are crystal clear and it's often a surprising thing that patients will say, well, I'm getting maybe eight bad days of headache a month but then they're actually getting milder headaches on another 10, 15 days per month for which they're taking painkillers of one sort or another and the painkillers improve things to a degree so they don't count that as a headache day. We're living in an age when there are new drugs appearing to help in the treatment of migraine. We've probably got 10 or 12 different medications that are tablets that are migraine preventives. We have Botox which is used for people with very frequent migraine and that's made a huge difference to the lives of many patients with very frequent migraine. So I think we're living in exciting times. There are treatments available. There are good treatments available now and there will be even better treatments available in the future. We also have another very exciting way of looking at human brain where we can use electrical stimulation which we go and change the electrical activity of the brain using reasonably simple devices that people use outside their scalp. If there's something new coming on, I'll try it. We can give information to doctors and they can give information to us. That all helps. We are moving into treatment or therapeutic era of neurology. Migraine is also the same. So therefore when things are rapidly changing we have to educate ourselves almost on a daily basis. New changes that we learn, we bring to the clinic. New changes that we learn, we bring to our hospitals. We share that with primary care physicians. We share that with patients and we make decisions together and in that way we can build a better world to live well with these disabling disorders and live well with migraine. There's a lot of hope out there and never give up. Just never give up. Keep up the treatments and work with your doctors. Just hang in there. That's all I can say.


All right. Good afternoon, everyone. On behalf of Lucina and myself and the entire program committee, welcome to Cloud Native Telco Day 2023 here in Chicago. We're so glad you could join us. And in our opening remarks, we're going to go over a few important logistical items, as well as kind of set the stage and frame the conversation for today. First off, we are here as a community today to collaborate, to support each other's technical work as thought leaders in this space, will share lessons learned, ideas, requirements, as we all work together to be the best Cloud Native Telco advocates that we can be. And in the nature of that community, we ask that everybody adhere to the CNCF code of conduct. It's linked here by the QR code. You can also find it on the events homepage menu. And at the end of the day, it's just be kind, treat each other with respect, just as you would like to be treated. If you are in need of accessibility or translation support, you can use your personal device to scan this QR code. You can choose your language, select attend, and then captioning will begin when the session does. I'll give y'all a few moments just to scan that if you need. All right, refreshments, snacks, and lunch, as I'm sure you noticed as you made your way into this room, will be picked up right outside in the foyer, outside of the session room. Please stay nourished. Also it's a great idea to use these breaks as a way to connect with your fellow event attendees and build your community. And then in the same space, directly following our event today, will be the CNCF hosted co-located event reception from 5.30 to 7.00 PM. Please join us to continue the conversation and meet some of your other attendees. A few logistical items. We are in room W193AB, as you noticed. Our scheduled break for today will be 3 to 3.15. We will resume our programming promptly at 3.15. So if you can try and make your way back to your seats by then so that we don't get too off schedule, that would be great. If you're interested in joining the conversation via Slack, that information is up on the page for you, as well as the Wi-Fi information, which is also on the back of your badge, should you need it. And today's event schedule. Quick reminder to our session speakers, you need to be miked up five minutes prior to your session. So just see the AV team in the back of the room, and they can help get you miked up and ready to go. That way, when the previous speaker concludes their session, you can come up here, plug in, and just be ready to hit the road. Thank you to our livestream sponsor, the Vote Co-op today. It's really great that our colleagues and event attendees that weren't able to be here in person are still able to participate in the programming. So we really appreciate that support that they've given to us today. Thanks, Mary. I have a question for everyone in the audience. How many are attending Cloud Native Tocade for your very first time? Oh, awesome. Wow, thank you so much for joining us today. Has anyone here joined more than one? Welcome back. And has anyone like me joined all four? Hey. We should get jackets or something. Welcome back. We're glad you're here. We hope you all learned something new. So we're here today because Cloud Native Tocade brings us together to share what we've learned in our Cloud Native transformation journey. Back in 2018, the term Cloud Native Network Function, or CNF, was introduced at one summit. Since then, we've seen transformation in the Cloud Native telco space. We've seen vendors are certifying their Cloud Native network functions. Operators are using Cloud Native architectures and applications now in production. And we've also had product announcements at our previous telco days. We've heard about when Project Silva was just an experiment over at Orange, when DT was using the shift internally. Now these things are in production and some are fully funded projects, also including FIO and the CNF certification program. So this is a good spot to collaborate with others in the space. And I hope that you find the right people to collaborate at the end of today. Here's our agenda for today. In the first part of the program, we'll hear about the Linux Foundation initiatives that are helping telcos with this transformation. Some will hear about the LF networking, as well as the Nephio project updates. And after our break, we'll hear some real-world applications of Cloud Native in telco. We'll hear about CNF deployments and a panel of operators sharing their expectations, along with our many lightning talks. After today, there are several ways to get connected. You can stay tuned for updates from the CNF working group. There's meetings on Mondays every week. You can also check out the Slack channel, the CNCF Slack for the CNF working group, and social media. So thanks so much for joining us. We're so glad that you're here. And we hope that you find this talk to be inspirational.

Elefator music, we have sales sing-alongs, which I think almost merit their own talk and I want to talk about them but I don't have time. Musical training videos, again, in fact if you come and see me at any point in the Fizpop tent I can show you some really awful stuff that I couldn't fit into the talk. But I'm going to focus on the motivational corporate anthem. What makes this really special is the fact it's generally commissioned by or sometimes written by upper management. The idea is to inspire and motivate a workforce that they may never meet but they can maybe see from the stage at the annual conference when they introduce the song. The song is designed for internal purposes really and as I say to inspire and motivate and get people really fired up about working for a fantastic company. That's generally what they're going for. Since I only have 20 minutes this is going to be a bit of a whistle-stop tour through the best of the best and the worst of the worst. I'm going to start. I'm not going to go purely chronologically but I will start with the first of the first which is IBM. To my knowledge this is certainly the first documented corporate anthem. IBM was founded by Thomas Watson and he was very pro-music in the workplace. In 1927 he had published this songbook, Songs of the IBM, which contains 100 songs to be sung by the workforce. They range from hymns to the corporation itself, songs about how great Thomas Watson is, songs about other corporates and songs for each department as well. Of these 100 songs the anthem is the rally song ever onward and as you can see it appears in the songbook only just after America and the national anthem. This is a real rousing marching kind of a song to sort of rally the troops and as I say people fired up about working for IBM. Would you like to hear? It works it here so you can sing along if you want to. Unfortunately, oh no you're welcome please come join in. Unfortunately not everyone is as proud of their musical history as IBM and oh have you finally got me on the big screen did you not? Oh sorry I didn't know no wonder you weren't singing along. Not everyone is as proud of their musical history as IBM are. They kindly have the songbook on their website. They have MP3s on their website recordings that I can grab and use in my talk. I know that there are other companies between the 30s and the 70s who have corporate music but I don't have any recordings of it. If you do please come and see me at the Fizz Pop tent. Bring me your corporate music. Things did happen in that period in the 50s and 60s. A big thing was the industrial musical which is exactly as it sounds. Broadway composers were actually commissioned to write entire musicals for car companies quite often and they took them on the road. However again that needs its own talk there is a documentary about the industrial musical that came out this year that you should absolutely go and look out. But I am going to stick with the corporate song and move forward to 1971 when Fujitsu commissioned Martha Miyake a famous jazz singer to sing their song of Fujitsu. Very much of the time. Days like that too don't you? Tomorrow. As long as I make it to tomorrow. You know that's not too painful. I could listen to that. It's fairly innocuous. It's not too grating. Where it starts to get grating is in the 80s as you can imagine.  Someone who was very prolific in the 80s musically, corporate musically speaking was Apple. Apple were kind enough to create a large body of work. Most of which are five or six minutes in length at least. So sadly I can't play you all of them but I will play you this magnificent thing coming up which has its own video. You know it comes straight from VHS but I'm not sure whether that perhaps enhances the experience. You may recognise the influence. It's quite a literal video. Give up all pretends that this is not a different song. I'll play you the whole thing but it's literally about five minutes long and I'm sorry I'm going to skip onwards. Sorry. So I know if you come to the Fizz Pop 10 I can play you any of these. So like Apple with their enthusiastic nod there to Flashdance what a feeling. Many companies have created their corporate song by simply nicking someone else's song and adding their own lyrics to it.  The title is a bit of a giveaway on this. Except I think the professional singer in the front who probably never thought this would see the light of day. So this one's more recent and people really should have learned by this time to stop doing this.  It knee deep in the mocha but I figure I just need to tell you that. You can imagine the rest. So that's all well and good and cringeworthy and painful but you can get so much more creative with an original composition. As many of the following companies did I'm going to start with Acera not because everyone remembers Acera but because this is possibly the cringiest thing you've ever heard. This was created by an employee who apparently he says on his own website he's very proud of this. He took this to the executives with the idea of creating a couple of corporate songs played them through his boom box and they were blown away. Acera was a product of the dotcom boom so this is not an old thing, not 80s old. I think it's also quite unexpected. Acera everywhere so let me ask you are you ready to party? Are you? Well are you ready to get funky? Put your hands together. That's right. Taking control of the e-biscuit. Can everyone hear this by the way? That is fantastic. So as I say, I don't know if it gets any cringier than that although Apple will have a challenge for you later in the talk. So Acera were not by any way the only company to embrace rap. Several of them did it. I'm just going to launch right into it. So PricewaterhouseCoopers. To celebrate the merger of Pricewaterhouse and Coopers and Lyman apparently there was some kind of internal challenge to create a corporate song to celebrate the event. This was the rap version. Aren't the lyrics amazing? That is known for innovation. Imagination. Fascination. Toto. Aren't you on the edge of your seat? Ericsson. I think this is recorded in the workscan team. Have you seen the light yet, baby? Seen the white glow in your neighbor's eyes? Do you want to get wireless with me tonight, baby? Give me your number and I'll send you something you never forget. This is actually the chorus. There is a rap in there I promise you but this is the chorus that goes with that beginning. Arguably the king of all corporate raps is the semantic one which was hailed by the observer as the worst song in the history of music with additional sinister corporate overtones. My daughter is very excited about this. This is actually her favourite song of the whole lot and I've had to listen to this far too much. Smantat is in the house. So we're going to get a bit more serious now. I think part of the beauty of the corporate anthem is how seriously it generally takes itself. I think the best of them are the ones that just have no sense at all of how ridiculous they are. So you've probably all heard you. If you were here early then you will have heard the KPMG one but I'm just going to play you a little snippet of it again because it's a classic. But possibly more serious than that where G4S, do you remember the G4S song? Around the time of the London Olympics this came to light and G4S buried it really quickly but not quickly enough. They have nothing on Apple, trust me, nothing at all. So Apple, as I said, created a large body of work and I think their most serious, their most sincere and earnest song was Apple Ripples. And it starts off, I think in a spa, I'm not sure. Ten years ago something happened, something small, something most people didn't notice. But it did touch a few of us, then a few more and a few more. One ripple following another, each new wave gaining more distance than the last. And still the ripples keep coming. My husband complains about this because that's not how ripples work. On music, and to lull you into a false sense of what the song is and that continues for about 40 seconds. And then this happens, this is when he would have started to sing. When we started out, didn't have much to go on, there was nothing in our pockets but a dream. And in the silence of that first night, we made the promise that we would make it right. It's really all about a journey, so the next thing they go down to the river and they watch the river flow and then there's a long road and I think there's a hill and it's all a metaphor. It's five and a half minutes long. I think they were going for a sort of Jim Steinman feel. Three and a half minutes in is the first mention of Apple with the classic line, oh Apple. So I've managed okay time wise. This means I have time to leave you with my very, very favourite corporate anthem, which I think is genuinely nice. It's joyful, I figure the guy that's singing it probably quite enjoys working for the company. It's got a rap, it's got a cool hook that you can sing along with because it goes na na na na, so you don't need to know the words. And it has a female backing singer somewhere in there. So thank you ever so much for coming, I really hope you've enjoyed it. Enjoy the rest of EMF, have a great weekend. And please come and see me at the Fizzpop tent and listen to more. It will be cold, we have time. No, unfortunately these don't all reside on a website. There was a website, a guy called Chris Raytig had a fantastic website that had tons of corporate music on it, which I think he stopped maintaining. But there's a little story about that because KPMG actually were not happy about him hosting the KPMG song and they got in contact and he got a takedown notice because he was breaking their link policy. And their link policy was that you have to ask permission to link to their website. I don't think that actually achieved anything on their part. And the other guy actually whose work has really helped me is Peter Judge. He used to write for ZedNet, CDNet, I've never had to say that out loud before, who put a lot of corporate anthem stuff on there. In fact his stuff is mostly on there but it's pretty hard to find on the ZedNet site itself, you just Google it. I will put my slides up somewhere but I haven't thought about where yet. But yeah, that's, oh sure, I'm going to put them on my LinkedIn. I think it's really important that people know this about you. Oh well thank you, thank you very much. Sorry were there any, hi. Have you ever heard the Avaya rap? Avaya, if not it's worth a listen. I mean it's not but it is. That sounds good. It's on YouTube I think. Cool. I do have sadly a lot of songs that didn't make the cut just purely because of time. But I'm not sure about that one and I'm going to look that up, thank you. Sorry if I have another question. Can't believe people are asking questions. Hi. If we're doing recommendations have you seen the Microsoft Bruce Springsteen tribute band? Yes. Yeah again, Bruce Springsteen and sort of that style I think. I mean I think that's possibly also a bit of what Apple was going for with the Meatloaf thing there. Meatloaf Bruce Springsteen. Yeah he's very popular but yes maybe in the next talk. I should ask for more than 20 minutes next time maybe and play you longer clips. Thank you very much for sharing all your songs with us.


Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good morning everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessToTrader.com weekend wrap-up show. I hope everybody is having a great weekend, really aggressive trading week, very, very aggressive. I think for those who have been watching it, again, we've been putting out a lot of these free content throughout the week now. I make these videos now every single day, for the exception of Friday night and Saturday night, we do the weekend update.  The one thing that I've recognized throughout the years, when I stop and I feel very complacent, I feel very lazy, your results in life in general are going to reflect that. So for example, I'm probably one of the biggest eaters on the planet. I'm a skinny guy, skinny fat guy, but for the last three months when it started from October, I was on a binge. I was eating for three people with the chocolates, with this, that, the other thing. And I realized one day, when I woke up one day and I said, well, wait a minute, this has to stop.    My wife said you look hideous and again, granted. So something had to give. So I could, I could have easily progressed, right? Keep on going. I don't care. Kept on going, kept on going. And again, there was no upside here, right? Absolutely no upside. The sugar intake would have led to something really, really aggressive. So I made a choice. I stopped. I went on a very, very aggressive intermittent fasting diet, exercise, all that stuff. And I knocked out about six pounds in about two weeks or so. And that's kind of goes to where your trading is going to be. Okay. I think again, because there's so much information out there. Okay. And again, whether that information is good, bad or indifferent. I think unfortunately, because the only exposure new traders have is to information on social media platforms. That's all they're digesting. So you could be trading two, three, four, five, six years and digesting bad information. And it's the equivalent of you eating chocolate five times a day and drinking cans of coke 26 times a day. Okay. Nothing good is going to come out of it. And you start getting frustrated when you're digesting bad information that you can't understand what you're doing wrong because you've been doing it such a long time. And the most amazing part of it is, you know, in this business time equals experience. And there's no greater teacher, okay, than experience. The problem is if you're digesting really bad information within that first two, three, four years where you're first most vulnerable and impressionable, okay, and you're looking to set a foundation, you could be literally the person who's drinking the 26 cans of coke and not realizing it's bad for you. But it tastes good, but it's diet, right? It's diet coke. Why is it so bad? And that's the problem. Unfortunately, because when I started out, I started out at a pretty big desk. We had great personal relationships on those desks.  And for the first, I would say probably for the first nine, 10 years, that was my exposure, the physical contact, the raw emotion that traders bonded together on the same desk. Unfortunately, most of you guys, the only experience or the only relationship you guys have is on social media, that avatar with the cool car, right? It was giving you alerts and all that good stuff. That's what you're consuming.  Again, it's like that couple that's been married for 20, 30 years. They're almost accepting that they hate each other to the point they don't even speak anymore. So you're willing to ride it out until magically you believe it's going to work one day and it doesn't. And it really, really doesn't. This is an incredibly unforgiving business. It really is.  And the most amazing part of it is at some point, if you're trading two, three, four, five years and you're just not getting anywhere, you get the whole thing. You know how to read a chart. You understand, well, here's the five-day moving average. Here's the 10-day. Here's the 20. Here's the 50. Here's the 100. Stocks should hold this. They should bounce. But for whatever reason, you have all this information in front of you, but it's still, you can't figure out why you can't gain any type of consistency. And again, the easiest thing to do is basically look at the information that you've consumed for many, many years and it's very frustrating because you run into people in the turnaround and say, well, I can't understand. This person looks like they're doing well. They sound like they're doing well. Everything is great. I'm trading three years more than them and I can't get going. Again, you don't need to go back to the drawing board. Sometimes you have to take the information that you already had, whether it's bad, it's a whole different story and start omitting bad things. Again, you don't need to trade at 931. The day is not over at 932. I give you my word.  You don't need to have the thought process, well, I could be done my whole day in 30 minutes. Really? I would love to do that. You show me how to do that, make consistent gains in the first 30 minutes of the day. Go do something else. Go play tennis. That'd be great. You've shown me these things. I'll be more than happy to look at them. I would be more than happy to absorb that information. But again, if that's the information you're absorbing and that's what you're sticking to, but you're still not seeing the result, a light bulb should be going on. At some point, you have to have self-reflection. It's just the reality. You hear this all the time. I've been trading five years. I can't get any true consistency. What's wrong with me? There's nothing that's wrong with you. You have to start omitting bad information. What's great about life and what's great about trading and everything else, life gives you second, third, 10th, 15th, 20th chances. Trading will give you the same thing as long as you have the capital. I think at some point, you have to turn around and say to yourself, what I'm doing is just not working. What I'm doing is just not working. Again, you don't need to completely overhaul your trading. If you're trading on the one-minute channel, hey, look at the 60. Just trust me. I've been advocating the 60-minute channels for about nine years. If nothing at all, you can't say it's not for you if you don't ever look at it. Look at the 60-minute, right there and then, because of all the evidence we've been showing for years and years and years, why it's omitting the noise, why it's omitting retail sentiment. You have the top, you have the bottom, you have the middle sentiment, and all three of these areas are going to provide you value. If nothing at all, at least look at the 60-minute channel. You'll be shocked, absolutely shocked how progressively better your trading will be. Forget about the PS60 theory. Forget about everything else. Forget about pivots. Just by looking at a larger view, a longer view, a definitive view that omits the noise, I give you my word, you'll see the market in a much more clear view. Again, whether you're adapting it to your other previously digested information, that's going to completely cancel it out. It's a whole different story. But at some point, guys, you have to stop the insanity.  There's something you're doing wrong. There's something that you're digesting that you should stop immediately. Again, it's like eating chocolate every single day. It's like feeding your newborns cigarettes and coffees. You know it's wrong. You know it's wrong. You have to stop. And again, trading will give you that second or third chance. But you have to cut it out.  You have to cut out the whole social media lifestyle nonsense. You have to make this is a very, very serious priority. Get to work. Get to work. Look at charts. Two, three thousand charts a weekend.  The more times you're looking at these charts, something eventually is going to click. Something eventually in your charts is going to stand out to you and say, Oh my God, I think I got it. Even though if you might not get it, it might not get it for a while, but at least put in that effort. Again, if you're entering Monday morning, tomorrow morning with the same personality, with the same method, with the same process that you did last week and you got absolutely nowhere. And you got caught in this, that, the other thing. Well, why do you think this week is going to be any difference? You can be saved. As long as you still have, as long as you still have energy to go forward. Okay. As long as you still have the drive to go forward. And by the way, you still have to have capital. Okay. You can make a completely different 360 turning your trading and you'll be shocked. But the most important part is you have to acknowledge what you're doing is wrong and look at other avenues.  And that's the saddest thing doing the same thing over and over again expecting magically you're going to get different results. So there's a way out. Okay. There's a way out. I know a lot of new traders are frustrated trading breakouts and failed breakouts and all this stuff. And the magical buy the dip when the market is only retracing at the rising channels which is a bull market to begin with. You're not really buying the dips. But the most important part is you can do it. Okay. You can do it. And any trader out there can do it.  You have to put in the work. That work on the weekends is gold. Okay. It's gold. What you're doing behind the scenes is really going to show in your trading. And again, if you start putting in the work, you'll see that you'll see you really start seeing the results. So let's talk about the markets on the surface. You know, 1.5% losses all across the board didn't really register. I think what the most important part of this week was the market came in, right? Very, very aggressive. When I talk about the market, I want to talk about the cues. You know, we talked about this area. If you've been watching these videos, even the last two weeks, you kind of know, we've been rusting up against this top level here. The problem was, again, we've been talking about this for a long time now. Gravity's real. Okay. Gravity's real. And every single video that I've done probably in the last 76, 7, 8 months, we've been saying the same thing. It's a linear market. Eventually, you know, you're going to get tapped out. And it's not like doing, you know, a rain dance in the desert and say, one day it's going to rain, one day, no, you have to be cautiously optimistic because again, the market, again, like I say all the time, it's not going to tap you on the shoulder and say, we're going to yank your gains. It's just going to yank your gains. And when you look at the data supporting what gravity was, okay, or is, or might still be going into this week, think about the statistic. The cues last week were over 20%, 20% above the 200-day moving average. That's insane. Okay. Absolutely insane. And the idea that gravity can't come in or will not yank you is absolutely asinine because again, what we saw this week were two days in a row. Okay. Of some of the most aggressive polls, especially Thursday. If you guys remember, if you guys remember the Thursday video, the Tesla yank was 40 points. Okay. 40. Okay. You had destruction in Roku and shop in Netflix and Facebook and Apple and Amazon and NVIDIA, just absolutely amazing. And the most incredible part about that I still saw on social media was, well, did you see how they snapped back? Very impressive. And we did acknowledge that. But the most important part is once you start getting technical damage, anything is possible. So when we went into Friday session, I kind of thought that we were going to have a very odd session. If you remember Thursday's video, because they bounced, right? If you guys remember, because they bounced on Thursday session and we talked about that kind of line in the sand and the rising five day moving average to the 232 area, the good news for the week. Okay. The good news for the week was, well, let me start with the bad news. The bad news for the week was all these levels got violated. Okay. And they took out the five, went to the 10, the 10 got confirmed, went all the way down to the 20. The good news is that anybody, if you didn't trade beta, right? If you didn't trade beta and if you just traded random stocks, did you even notice that? Okay. If you did trade in the beta world, of course you did because the polls were very aggressive and they were magnificent. We'll talk about the individual pivots in a second. But did you really notice that? And because this was so swift, the bulls actually have a case here. They do. At first, I was, you know, at first going into this weekend's chart work, I was like, well, I can knock out these charts in five minutes. And I did. Okay. And I did. I looked at, you know, I looked at beta and I said, well, it's pretty, pretty easy going into Monday. These things confirmed they go lower. But the more and more I thought about it and I started looking at charts and I said, well, wait a minute, the bulls actually do have a case here that they actually survive this. Because again, if you looked at the last several times that we got to this level, right? The breakdown, right? Check to check this out. So you had the breakdown, they actually survived it when higher. The breakdown survived going high. The breakdown survived going high. And this is kind of what we are again. So at first I said to myself, well, it's pretty cut and dry tomorrow. I'm going to wait for confirmation to the downside on all these beta names. I think we're going to have a five-star play again. I think this could be another wash again. And I think it's everything's all good. But the more and more I started looking at charts after, right? I started looking at charts after just to kind of get another understanding. I really do believe that the bulls have a case here. Again, whether the bulls can actually reclaim, right? Reclaim that 233 level, that 234 level on the cues. That's a whole different story. Again, we don't need to be smart enough to try to figure out. Let it play out, right? Just the way we knew 232 was going to be pivoted to the downside. Now we know where they need to reclaim. Now we know if they start losing the 229 area to the downside, it's going to be more selling. So you don't need to be the sharpest tool in the shed. We know which way, if they confirm, it's going to go. The question is at least now have an open mind.  Maybe you will, right? But maybe the idiot, right? King of the idiots. What happens if we confirm? Do you still want to buy the dip? Just ask yourself that question. So it's very, very important to kind of have that open mind going into this week. I think last week, the Apple pre-announcement kind of opened up. Well, I don't even know if they kind of opened up the floodgates for the initial selling. But I think at this point, when again, when you have the queues 20% over the 200-day moving average, I don't think the market needs a lot of excuses. So when Apple did pre-announce, again, obviously took down the semis and the chip makers, all that stuff. But again, what I did like, what I saw the bulls do, at least reclaim macro levels. So now the question is, are we going to go higher? Are we going to go lower? And again, we don't need to answer that question right now. We don't even need to have an opinion. We just need to have a game plan. We have to have an open mind. And just understand, we confirm here. We go higher. We confirm here. We go lower. So going into this week, I am self-biased. I am self-biased. This is the first time I've probably said that in a while. I am self-biased. But again, it doesn't mean that we won't trade for the upside. Again, cautiously optimistic every single day. And yes, I'll trade to the downside. Again, when there's a channel confirmation, we'll talk about the pivots in a second. But there's some really good value to the upside. And the most amazing part about that sell-off, or even let's just say the last two days' worth of sell-off is there's still so much speculation money running into names like Stamp and Tesla. If you guys notice, you notice Tesla didn't sell off on Friday. You guys noticed that? Tesla did not sell off on Friday. So again, it shows you there's no fear. Speculation money is still alive. And the most important part is, again, to get a true aggressive breakdown macro, you need a buyer strike. And you need a buyer strike on the names that are constantly getting in that speculation money. So for example, if you see Stamp and Tesla stop going up, that's bearish. If you see Stamp, for example, stop going up, that's bearish. Again, these are very, very aggressive stocks. SDGR, again, just massive, massive, aggressive news. So you wouldn't even know that the market was down 250 points because, again, there is so much flow in both ways of the market. So Friday's session, very solid week to begin with. Very, very good solid week. I am pleased. I thought the pivots this week were very smooth. You didn't need a lot. You didn't need a lot. There was a lot of aggression, number one, both sides of the market. Thursday and Friday, really ridiculous washes, very, very aggressive names. I traded Roku back-to-back days, really, really monster moves. I swear, Roku is starting to get to that point that it's starting to replace, at least for me, it's starting to replace Netflix's number two on my favorite stock list. Roku is amazing. It's an amazing stock to trade.   And it's starting to get to the point that it's kind of forming into a cold stock, not quite like Tesla, but, again, it is a very, very rare breed of speed and power, which is really, really great, which you want to do some size and expanding range stock. So Roku is really good this week. Tesla, I traded. Tesla, I traded. I picked spots this week on Tesla, which was much better for me, but I'm still getting out of the position early, which is good.  These days, $3 is like 12 cents, well, not 12 cents, but like 50 cents on the old ways of trading. So I'm still trying to get used to it, but, again, it's not the easiest thing, trading it on equity, because, again, the spreads are aggressive, the liquidity is not great, so you need a bigger move. So I've been picking my spots this week on Tesla, did okay with it, but, again, it's still very, very stressful just because of the nature of the aggression. Again, if you're trading on the option side, and you're betting the $1,200 next week calls, I'm just joking around, but if you're doing that, at least you already know what your max drawdown is. When you're trading equity, and you're like, holy crap, this thing is moving so fast that you can't even get a good sense, because there is no reload buyers or sellers that you could quickly identify because of the moves is so weird. So you have to kind of get used to it, but, again, picking spots in that as well. So good week, good week. So let's talk about this week. Again, here's the numbers going into this week, guys, before we even go on to the downside. If the Qs start confirming down that 229 area is bearish, again, you don't need to overthink. If the Qs start reclaiming 234 on a close, that is bullish. That is your macro area. Again, there's no room for interpretation. There's no room for discussion. That's what it is. There's nothing more. There's nothing left. That's what it is. Everything else in between, you have to trade channels to kind of omit the risk factor. So let's talk about Friday. Again, very, very aggressive session. Tesla, again, Tesla had that big opening range move. 918, 19 needs to build. Obviously never even came close to confirming that. So this is kind of going to be this sneaky pivot for this week. So any build this week on Tesla, 918, 19, let me show you this 60-minute channel. So here's Tesla. So any build over this confirmation, this whole channel here, any build over this 918, 919, I think, could wake it up. So that's going to be the play for the week going forward. FTSV never got up there. This was definitely the move of the day, and it really does show you how speculation money is alive still. And people don't care that the market's down 300 points. People will buy. So here is the play on stamp. We saw that first sell-off. It never sold off. The stamp was down literally a couple bucks the whole morning as the Dow was down, was getting destroyed, and the Nasdaq was getting destroyed. So red to green on wash. Again, keep this in mind. Red to green is not a pivot. It's just momentum from the previous day. 160 needs to build, and stamp just went ballistic. Congratulations. Everybody took stamp. Here is the 158 Sneaky area right here, and here is the confirmation channel off the 160. So once it confirmed 160, it just exploded at one as high as the 185. Big, big move on stamp. BYMD obviously never got up to 22, 20 and a half, 23 area. They do report earnings in four days. Finally get an earnings report. I personally think they're going to be good. Again, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but it's not going to cost me any money, but I think they're going to be good. I think they're going to be good. Again, a lot of out-of-the-money, deep out-of-the-money calls were being bought in the last several months. We'll see. We'll see what happens there. ZS, nice move to the downside. 55-50 if it builds below, can flush more. Here is ZS. Here's the ZS chart. Here's the 55-50 opening range low. 55-50. So once it confirmed 55-50, it got hit all the way down to the 52 area. Chewie went pre-market. I didn't get any Chewie. It went pre-market, which is kind of sad, because I really like that setup. If you got the trade, good job. It ran up like a dollar in change. 30-90, 31 needs to build. I did not get a piece of this trade. It just started running pre-market. So here's the 30. Here's the 31 right here. 31 went to 32-50, which is kind of a shame, but it is what it is. TWST never got up there. ISRG is actually holding up fairly well. It never got up to the 620, 621 area, but ISRG actually held up very, very well. It really did. So keep an eye on it for this week. Roku, I hit Roku now back-to-back days. This is really good. Roku, 121 if it builds below can flush. So here is Roku. Here's the 121. Here's the 121. Beautiful move. Beautiful move. Initially, it went down to the 19 area. That was my first trade of the day. That was really, really good. Apple got destroyed. Congratulations to all you guys who got Apple. 117, 20, 117 if it builds below can flush. Here was Apple. Here was the area of interest. Just got destroyed. Apple's coming into an important area. This 310 area this week is going to be important. That is the low of the pre-announcement. So for this week, I set an alert for Apple. This thing starts building below that 310. You're going to have more selling. So keep an eye on that. So this thing got destroyed as well. Perfect trade on Roku. Really, really aggressive volume stamp right up 25 points. That was aggressive as well. And what's cool about, you know, what's cool about experience. This is kind of what we talk about experience. I realized a long time ago. Okay. For all you guys who don't know, I was, I actually swung, I actually swung small cap stocks for years. This is before I found pivots. And the reason why I stopped because all these artificial, you know, alert services, they started. So I used to swing them all the time and I actually traded them. And then I realized there was no money left in them. Okay. There really wasn't any money left in them. And then I had to come to a realization that it had to be a better way. Okay. And this is kind of how I stumbled onto pivots and really kind of really developed them over time. But here's a way that I've been playing and showing that you can still play small cap stocks. Okay. But you have to play them. You have to play them in a much more smarter way. So if you guys remember that stock, TOCA, right? You guys remember TOCA? And again, I realized, I realized, you know, quite a couple of months ago that the strongest, if you do trade a small cap stock, you got to trade this on rising support because that's where emotional sellers that bought the highs will sell to you. And once the rising support holds, okay, once the rising support holds, they usually do trap, especially early eager shorts. And they don't even realize that they're shorting it and the bottom of the range that's rising. And here's a perfect example of, again, you don't need to trade beta to trade the PS60 theory. Okay. This has nothing to do with Tesla and Netflix, anything in the end. So TOCA, the first back test here, 138, right? So then 148. If the bulls hold on, snap back and check this out. I mean, this is one of the bigger moves. I know a lot of you guys in the room actually did it, which great job. So here is the rising support, right? This 138 area. And again, this is, again, the whole point of the PS60 theory, trading channels, when you're getting to the bottom of the range, this is where emotional sellers will meet technical buyers. When you get to the top of the range, it's emotional buyers meeting technical sellers. And this, they trapped perfectly.  Okay. So again, you don't need to trade beta. You don't need to trade Amazon to trade the pivots as long as you have a range and real volume. You can trade Bitcoin. You can trade futures. You can trade Forex, crypto, anything with, anything with a range and aggressive real volume. It's a technical analysis. It's technical analysis. It's just kind of a, just kind of understand that. So going to this week again, I am, I want to say I'm 70, 30 sell buys. Again, it doesn't mean I won't buy stock. It's just kind of the initial, kind of the initial reaction for this week. Let me give you guys some ideas for this week that I actually do like. Yeah, for all you small cap lovers, I kind of like this Casa. Okay. I kind of like this Casa, but take a look at it. It's not bad. You know, it broke out on Friday. Okay. It broke out on Friday. Keep an eye on this thing. 490, right? If it starts reclaiming 495, you have room for like 535, 60. HYRE, I'm actually holding calls on this thing. A buyer came in, a buyer came in on Thursday, right? He bought the 1500 April 5 calls. Okay. And you can see there's really, really good strength on this thing. Keep an eye on this thing. This thing starts building above like, you know, 415, 420. Again, you know, if you start seeing more reload, more sweepers come in on this thing, it might be worth a shot. Maybe it does get some legs. So keep an eye on that. Let me give you guys some other ideas that you might take advantage of. BCLI for all you guys are trading on the smaller cap names. Keep an eye on this thing. The value play here is obviously the rising 60-minute support. You want to, again, it's kind of the same thing as that toka trade. So you kind of want to watch this thing kind of go back into rising 60-minute support and hold. But if you do want to trade this thing on strength and needs to reclaim that $7 area, DOMO doesn't look bad at all. Okay. DOMO doesn't look bad at all. Again, good strength here on the day that the market sold off. Keep an eye on this thing. This thing starts building above that, you know, 27.25 or 27.30. It might start its next leg up. And let me give you one more non-beta name. Look at this GTT. Keep an eye on this GTT. Not a bad-looking chart. Keep an eye on this thing. This thing starts reclaiming 15, right? Orally. Again, good strength here on a week mark a day. Keep an eye on this thing. If this thing starts building above that $15 area, you could get your next leg up. Guys, for all you guys who are joining us tomorrow in the live webinar for the first time, please get there early. That's what we'll discuss. Netflix and Alibaba and Roku and Tesla. Again, Tesla did not go down, which is a very, very important part. It doesn't mean it can't go down lower this week. Just the initial view is very, very strong. I also like Apple. Again, it showed you that three, 10 areas will be very, very important. But the most important part is we'll get the early action on the pivot watch. Guys, have a great Sunday. God bless, and I'll see you all in the field tomorrow. Congratulations for putting in the time to take control of your trading.
