Welcome to The Anxious Morning, where each weekday morning we take a look at ideas, concepts, and lessons designed to help you understand and overcome your anxiety. For more information, visit us at theanxiousmorning.com. Many of you have likely heard me speak somewhat dismissively about the idea of self-care. I won't pretend that I don't do that, but there's a method to my madness when I do. Today on The Anxious Morning, I want to take a few minutes to talk about why self-care is, in fact, an important thing. Tomorrow I'll talk about why I sometimes speak about it the way I do. I have a bad habit. I treat myself like a machine sometimes. I always have. Clearly, that is not a good strategy. I can make the argument that it's one reason why I wound up damn near crippled by anxiety and depression multiple times over 25 plus years. Nobody is a machine, and nobody, me included, should treat themselves that way. We may be marvels of engineering and design, but we are not machines. We get tired. We feel the effects of physical exertion, mental exertion, and emotional stress. We get sick. We get injured. We grow old. And while we are incredibly agile, when it comes to adaptation, adaptation does not mean that we are armor-plated or teflon-coated. I know sometimes people hear me talk about the recovery process, being courageous, and going toward fear, and mistakenly think that I am urging them to try to run things over and ignore the consequences of doing so. I am not. When I wrote The Anxious Truth, I did acknowledge that rest is a thing and that we all deserve and need to rest. Self-care is important. It matters. It matters physically, mentally, and emotionally. All three of those batteries need to be recharged and refreshed at times. Heck, sometimes they all need to be recharged at the same time. When life is throwing bricks at us, catching them, dodging them, and fending off the hits gets tiring. It wears us down. We need to take time when we can to disengage, step back, and give ourselves space to rest, recover, and recharge. This does not make you weak. It does not mean you will not recover. You are not being lazy. You are not being soft. You are just being human, which is not only permissible but desirable. If we are after one thing along the path to recovery, it would be uncovering the truth that we are entitled to and able to handle all of our humanness, even the parts that require us to take a break now and then. When needed, do work. When tired from doing work, rest in whatever form or forms that needs to take at any given time. This is okay, and this is allowed.  Now, tomorrow we'll talk a bit about what happens when the idea of self-care goes off the rails.

The secular progressive alliance led by the DMK has secured a massive mandate in the urban local body polls. The SPA has all the 21 city corporations in the state and almost all of the municipalities and town Punjayats which went for polls recently. The All India Anadravida Munnetra Karagam has suffered another electoral setback with the party coming at a distant second. The party has lost its traditional strongholds in the western and southern districts. The DMK and its allies have won decisive mandates in Coimbatore, Salem and Thaini districts, considered weak links of the party. Chief Minister M.K. Stalin claimed that the victory is the result of the spectacular works of the DMK government in the last nine months. The civic polls where the residences of the AI-DMK leaders, Palanissami in Salem district and Panir Selvam in Thaini district were won by the DMK alliance. Adding insult to injury, two victorious candidates of the AI-DMK have joined the DMK ahead of the indirect polls. Nominations for these urban local body polls were filed between January 28th and February 4th and the campaign days went on till February 17th. Polling for the 600 odd urban local bodies in Tamil Nadu were held on February 19th. People arrived early and lined up in long queues to cast their ballots. A total of 60.7% of the 2.5 crore eligible voters cast their votes by 6 p.m. In the week-long campaign preceding the polling day, the urban and semi-urban areas were filled with dough-to-dough campaigns, small processions and loudspeaker announcements. Although state-level leaders of the political parties were seen lashing out at one another, in the local areas, the lack of necessary civic amenities were the center of discussion. Recurring the inundation of low-lying areas during monsoon seasons and the absence of a proper stormwater drainage system are major issues in the cities. Water enters houses on the ground floor even during moderate rains. Besides the difficulty of mobility during the rainy season, stagnant water spoils the roads and leads to mosquito breeding, which are also big issues in urban areas. Roads are repeatedly dug to lay electricity lines, extend water pipelines and construct stormwater drains and sewage lines. And wherever these works were recently carried out, the roads are damaged and the usable portion of the road is reduced in width. On the other hand, shrinking water bodies is a big problem. It has led to large-scale water scarcity in big cities like Chennai and Madurai. The well-off localities have water pipelines supplied to their houses, but those dependent on bore wells are left with no other option but to buy water tankers during summer. Although water bodies have shrunk, people complain that even the existing ones are not maintained well.  Families living in housing boat tenements, particularly in Chennai, fear being evacuated and moved to the suburbs. They demanded the candidates for expansion and accreditation of houses in the same locality and voted for candidates who they thought would stand by them. Pataks for residents who have been living in the same area for many decades is a long-pending demand and was addressed in the campaigns. The congestion of traffic in arterial roads adjacent to residential areas and even inside residential areas was another issue raised in relevant works. The everyday issues were so many in each ward that there was little scope for more constructive demands from the people and promises from the candidates. Local libraries, playgrounds, community halls, fitness centers and other such proposals around sports and leisure activities were hardly visible in the campaign. Given that the local body poles were pending for 10 long years in Tamil Nadu, those who are voted to power have a lot of work to accomplish. Will the DMK and its allies, which have bad majority of the urban local body seats, keep up their promises?


I am Chief Master Sergeant Bill Hensley. I am the Chairman here for the Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, Paul Ari Ruck. We are here today to pay tribute to the first Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force, Paul Ari, at Ruck March as a representation of him and 6,000 American service members who were POWs during World War II and traveled across this country during austere conditions. It's important because first it's heritage. It's the hierarchy and the tradition of what we do as a service. It pays tribute to the first Chief Master Sergeant and the second thing is it builds on resiliency and shows us that our tradition and who we are and we've made it through hard times. We had all services here from the United States military, also had the German military and also civilians. I think the most important part that we're trying to portray here is first of all our tradition and our history as a service. The second part is that resiliency and overcoming obstacles in your career and your life and just paying tribute to that. Fight to live! Let's go!


and we're live here at AT&T Park, the NetApp customer event. NetApp each year, the last two years has brought its leading customers into AT&T Park. It's an unbelievable venue that they've set up. They really stepped it up this year. I'm Dave Vellante with Wikibon.org and this is theCUBE SiliconANGLE's production. What we do with theCUBE is we go to events like this. Wherever the tech athletes are, we find the best guests and we extract the signal from the noise and share with you our audience the information on the trends that are occurring in the business. One of the major trends that has occurred over the last three or four years is this notion of converged infrastructure. And NetApp and Cisco have had a very tight relationship. NetApp sees the day, they saw the opportunity to participate in that converged infrastructure space. Cisco, of course, aggressively trying to change the whole model of compute, bringing compute and networking together and of course, needed this storage piece as well. So I'm here with Jim McHugh, who's with Cisco, a CUBE alum, and also Adam Four with NetApp Gentlemen. Welcome to theCUBE. Good to be here. Thanks for having me, Dave. So it's a great venue. You guys are longtime partners. Why don't we kind of start there? Jim, why don't you talk a little bit about the partnership, the objectives that you guys set for several years ago now? Yeah, so if you go back three years or so ago, I believe it is, you know, we set out with an objective of how we're going to do a solution that's going to address multi-tenancy. And out of that grew a product that became known as FlexPod. So we've been actually doing incredible success where you have now over 2,800 customers, 2,800 customers, partner-based growing, everything's just really going well from that standpoint. But, you know, this last year as all good tech companies do, right? When you have a lot of success, you re-up. So we decided, you know, we actually needed to re-affirm our relationship and we said we're going to set out for another three-year journey and actually really drive the solutions that our customers are looking for. So when you say you re-up, so you committed publicly to doing sort of a three-year engagement, what is it? So what does that entail? You guys both putting resources in, talk about the resources that you guys put together. Maybe, Adam, you can take it from the NetApp side and then Jim can come through. Yeah, so we basically got together and actually planned out a roadmap. And in that roadmap, it includes kind of what we're doing on the engineering side, it includes what we're doing go-to-market and includes just how we're going to work together really at a strategic level. And so what we've done is defined a strategy and where we're going to take FlexBot over the next three years. New markets we're going to go into, different environments that it's going to work in and then now are moving toward executing on that. Yeah, so let's talk about some of those environments. When you start a project like this, Jim, you guys were sort of the new kid on the blog and the compute business and so I'm sure you've learned a lot. And actually, what are some of the things that surprised you about getting into that business and what are some of the pleasant or unpleasant surprises that you've been dealing with? Well, I mean, I don't know, surprised. I mean, I almost go that we surprised a lot of people in the market. I'm actually, I have to admit, when Cisco got into the server business, I wasn't at Cisco. And I was one of those guys on the outside saying, really, they're getting into this business? But clearly, they caught the market at a transition where compute and networking was going to come together first, right? There's a lot of value in that. And I think that was pretty revolutionary. But it didn't take long for us to say, look, networking makes a lot of sense, but you got to have storage, right? You got to bring those together. And that's when you start having some questions of integrated infrastructure, converged infrastructure, and really, that's become the game changer. So when I think, too, the evolution of NetApp, that I've been following now for several years, you guys evolved again from an infrastructure player and then started to get really into the application integration space. And I noticed that with FlexPod, and specifically in Cisco generally, you guys focusing more on applications. So Adam, I wonder if you could talk a little bit about that thrust from a solution standpoint, what the uptake looks like, and we can maybe get into some of the major ones. Right, so with FlexPod, the kind of design point is to really build out a converged infrastructure, an entire kind of virtualized infrastructure. And that infrastructure is designed to support a multi-tenant environment with multiple applications. And so when you look at what we're doing with the applications, we're validating these different kind of enterprise applications on this virtualized infrastructure. So it's less about kind of building a silo, say for Oracle, but building a shared infrastructure that can support Oracle and Microsoft and SAP, and what's the design requirements and what's the system requirements that would actually allow you to support all these different items. So the work we do is how do you size and configure to support these different environments? So that's really the validation process we go through. So that's a nuance. You're not purpose-building infrastructure for those specific environments. You're building infrastructure that can, it's like the Dave Hitch chart that shows sort of... Yeah, yeah, exactly. And then maybe there's some applications that keep running on bare metal that might not be virtualized. But so you're basically saying to the customer, we've tested this configuration, it works. We can show you best practice documentation. Now, who does what in that whole thing?  How does that all work? Well, so I think there's a couple of things that are going there. So when we decide to set off one of what we call Cisco-validated designs and we do those with NetApp. So we start on our components, the compute networking. We bring in the NetApp part of the storage and add it in from there. But I think the thing that we do next and it's part of the flex of FlexPod, it's multiple platforms. So we're looking at, if it's an application that'll run better on Hyper-V, vSphere, it could run better on some of the open source stuff that's coming along and open stack, et cetera. Those are things we're looking at. How do we first best address the application through that infrastructure software? Then we test that all the way down, right down through every component and element of the infrastructure. So whether compute, network, and storage and have that all built in. So three years ago, we started in 2010, was our first cube at VMworld. Really, we weren't talking about Hyper-V. It was sort of VMware, had a clear lead. Still has a lead in a lot of situations toward the customers. But at the time, Hyper-V was sort of, Microsoft version one, right? You knew it was going to get better. But it has. So can you talk a little bit about what you're seeing in sort of other, whether it's hypervisors, other frameworks like open stack, how does that fit in to your guy's strategy? Maybe Adam, you could start and Jim. Yeah, I mean, the platform is designed to support all of those, right? So we actually validate VMware, always the latest versions of VMware. So we're trying to stay in sync with the latest releases, Microsoft, latest versions of Hyper-V. We'll also validate system center on top of that as well. So it's got the cloud orchestration of the automation included. Citrix, Zen server, along with Zen desktop. And it's also validated as a bare metal configuration. So you look at some of the validated designs, it'll actually be a mix of say, SAP on virtualized VMware infrastructure and then the database part of it on a bare metal. And so these are all, and they can all run simultaneously. So the whole point is that this is an open environment that you can mix and match these different technologies. And that extends to the management layer. You know, open stack, cloud stack. All those technologies are really built to, or not, the flux spot is built to really support those environments. Yeah, so you see a lot of demand today for bare metal, despite the sort of, you hear talk about, you know, we heard Carl up there today saying it's an imperative to get 100% virtualized. But, you know, most customers are moving in that direction, but there's still demand for bare metal. Well, even for some of the newer things coming out. SAP HANA runs better on bare metal and it doesn't run very well in a virtualized state right now. But it's a big trend, people are doing it. We're doing a lot of business together and going out and talking to customers about it. And then there's just some applications that yeah, that workload belongs on bare metal. Yeah, okay, so what are you seeing in terms of workload? I'll just take it from the sort of workload out now. We talked about the infrastructure and its ability to essentially support. It was pretty much workload agnostic is essentially what you're saying, but you've done some validation. Where are you seeing uptake in the market? I mean, obviously Microsoft, Oracle, VMware, not really a workload, but it's sort of a platform. But Microsoft and Oracle in particular, you're seeing a lot of uptake.  Talk a little bit about the applications that you guys are seeing. Yeah, we see all those. So, primarily a lot of the enterprise applications, so Oracle, SAP, all the Microsoft enterprise applications is probably the majority. We also see quite a bit of virtual desktops. Virtual desktops are appealing for this type of platform because people tend to want to deploy a kind of brand new infrastructure deployment. And sizing for virtual desktops can be very complicated. So if you've got an infrastructure that's been sized specifically for that environment and it's sized across the entire stack, it's kind of an easy decision, you know, that's going to work for the environment that you're looking for. And then your last point around big data, that's one of the new things that we just introduced. Now, big data actually, especially analytics in a dupe, actually has some different types of architectural requirements. There's design around compute nodes with direct attached storage. So there's a FlexPod platform that we've built specifically for that, we call FlexPod Select. And today we validated Cloudera Hadoop and Quartenworks Hadoop on that architecture. And it's really designed to provide kind of an enterprise class availability and delivery of Hadoop environments. Jim, I wonder if you could talk about cloud service providers. I mean, Cisco, enormous company, obviously, you know, powering a lot of CSPs. What's the uptake been like specifically for this initiative in the cloud service provider market? Actually, the uptake is really, really really strong. And I think both of us, when we look at it, we see IT as a future and we understand that some people are going to go to a service provider and consume services and some people are going to have things on premise. And really as IT becomes a broker, we know and we are setting out together to go after and give solutions that hit that service provider. They have different needs. And again, they're going to be looking for sort of different platforms because as they start building out applications that run more as a service or things that need to be in true multi-tenancy, high availability sort of situations, that may not be what an enterprise is going to be running in as their data center. So it could be a different platform on top of a FlexBot to solve that. Do you think, let's see, okay, so we're 2013. Do you feel like 2014, we've been talking about for a while, do you think 2014 will be the year of the hybrid cloud? There's always the year or something, isn't there? I mean, the concept was great when you first heard about it and then you start to think about the details and the implementation was a little stickier. But talking to customers, it's starting to become more real. Certainly for things like backup and disaster recovery, we're starting to see workloads and applications. What are you guys seeing? I think we may find that the word hybrid cloud, the definition needs to change. Like we talked about hybrid cloud, like it was this idea that I could have something here and I would burst out that same workload to the web and yeah, to the public cloud. Yeah, that's going to happen. But I think really the true hybrid cloud that's coming on is that you're going to have infrastructure that can support multiple platforms that are targeting applications in different locations that are going to enable customers to say, here's my hybrid cloud, I don't need to run this stuff in-house. Whether it's HR, payroll, my ERP, and this stuff I do need to run in-house and I want them to talk to each other and I want data to move around. That's a hybrid cloud of the future. So you see that hybrid as a service offering that's in the catalog, oh yeah, you want to run it in a public cloud lower cost or whatever, maybe it's not lower cost, maybe it's more flexible and faster as opposed to federating applications. Of course you could federate applications but I think we got lost and that was the goal. The goal is giving our customers the solutions they need and the way they run it and when you solve that problem and you help the service providers of them solve that problem as well, we have a better solution. Yeah and that's an infrastructure play where the federated applications, the business value there comes out, some kind of gets fuzzy because it's complicated, right? Anything you'd add to that, Adam? Yeah, I mean there's definitely a move toward the hybrid cloud or hybrid IT environments. It's going to take some time, there's definitely some challenges that need to be overcome, kind of managing across these different environments is still a big challenge. But I see a lot of vendors that are actually trying to address that. But as soon as that gap gets solved I think you'll see it accelerating even faster. So how would you guys characterize the first three years? You know, kind of the bumper sticker characterization and talk about the objectives for the next three years? Well I think the first three years was looking at solving this multi-tenant and building on a product, FlexBot, the architecture, how does it work? And the next three years we've kicked off by saying that there's actually several families of FlexBot, right? So we talked a bit about FlexBot Select, targeting workloads, FlexBot data center which we could almost call FlexBot Classic that everybody knows and loves. And then we have FlexBot Express which is more for branch office, mid-market, it's from there. So I think the next three years is preparing for giving customers no pun intended, the flexibility to roll out infrastructure that's going to help them grow their business. And it's not just about being agile because everybody talks about being agile, it's purposefully agile. What are you going to do with that agility? So anything you'd add to that in terms of objectives going forward? It's really extending that FlexBot model out to more areas, right? Sorting more workloads, extending it into the cloud, extending into small offices, multi-data center environments. Yeah, exactly. Super-sized, FlexBot, how big or smaller? FlexBot light, and all through the middle, all right. Jim and Adam, thanks very much for coming on theCUBE. Really appreciate it. And I'll enjoy the rest of the night, and we'll talk to you soon. All right, keep it right there. We'll be back with our next guest.  We'll be going till almost nine o'clock specific times. Keep it right there. This is theCUBE, right back.


Dear students, I welcome you in the course of leadership, emotional intelligence and the CN making. This is module number 98 and we are going to talk about leadership that gets results. An idea in practice would be our concern. This article is written by Dan Goldman and the Dan Goldman is arguing that without the emotional intelligence, the leaders are incomplete. When we talk about six leadership styles, the first one is the coercive style. And all of these styles would be discussed in terms of the leader's modus operandi, the style in a phrase, underlying emotional intelligence competencies, then the style works best and overall impact on climate. These are the concerns, which we will go through in six leadership styles. For example, when we see a coercive leadership style, the leader's modus operandi would be that the leader demands immediate compliance. The style in a phrase, which will brief what will happen in a coercive style, that would be do what I tell you. Underlying emotional intelligence that we see here, that is drive to achieve initiative and self-control. And when we talk about the style which works best, it says that in a crisis to kick start a turnaround or with problems, employees. So to tackle those problem employees, the coercive style that is appreciated.  When we visualize things in an authoritative concern, in the case of an authoritative style, the leader's modus operandi would be mobilize people towards a vision. And if we try to elaborate the style in a phrase, that would be come with me. Where the collaboration is emphasizing. Along with this, the leadership concern, we see emotional intelligence competencies in case of authoritative, that would be self-confidence, that would be empathy, change catalyst. And when we see the style in the best context, we come to know that when changes require a new vision and when a clear direction is needed. Authoritative style, if we see the overall impact on climate, it is said that that is most strongly positive. Under this, there are other styles like affiliative, like democratic, base setting and obviously coaching. When we talk about affiliative, the leader's modus operandi would be create harmony and build emotional bond. If we elaborate it in a sentence, that would be people comes first. Here, if we look at the concerns of emotional intelligence, there would be empathy, building relationships and communication. And when we talk about the style which is best suited in case of affiliation, it is said that to heal rifts in a team or to motivate people during stressful circumstances, in that case, affiliative style is the best one. If we look at the overall impact on climate, that is positive, which is good. In the case of a democratic leader, the leader's modus operandi, that would be forges consensus through participation. If we elaborate it in a sentence, that would be what do you think? You are giving the opinion of it.  When we talk about style works best, to build buy-in or consensus or to get input from valuable employees, these are the concerns which make a democratic leader's style is the best suited one. And the overall climate created out of this would be also positive. Likewise, when we talk about pace setting, in the case of pace setting, the leader's procedure of being operational would be set high standards for performance. And if we elaborate it in a sentence, that would be do as I do now. In that case, the factors of emotional intelligence in front of us, they are conscientiousness, drive to achieve an initiative. These are major ingredients which we see in the case of forecasting in emotional intelligence. When the style works best, if we talk about it, it is said to get quick results from a highly motivated and competent team. These are the pace setting aspects where we need it to be maximum. But overall climate which is based on pace setting, it is taken up as negative. Apart from this, if we look at the coaching style, it develops people for the future. And because the leader is acting like a coach, if we elaborate it in a sentence, that would be try this. Likewise, coaching's case is said that developing others' empathy and self-awareness, these are the main components of emotional intelligence, main competencies that would be available to us. Now, where coaching style would be more feasible? It is said that to help and improve performance and develop long-term strength, these are the aspects where coaching style would be necessary for us. And overall, what an environment creates out of the coaching style, that would be positive and that is highly appreciated. Dear students, as we have just seen, there are different leadership styles in which different types of emotional context are available. Whether it is affiliative, democratic, pace setting or coaching, the need for different ingredients of emotional intelligence is everywhere. Now, if we conclude all this, in an organizational facility, whether the leader is operating in any context, emotional intelligence is always with him or her. And related to emotional intelligence, his self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, motivation and social skill, these are all the things without which a leader will remain incomplete. Thank you.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. Trade what you see with Larry Pezzavento, toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, Larry Pezzavento. Okay, looking good. Billy Ray feeling good, Lewis. We're going to take a look at the German Dax.  You can see here we're up at a double top area. Quite a few ABCD patterns are there, much like they are in some of the other markets. So, we will keep watching that. We want to take a look at the footsie here too, folks, because I think that's important. It's a little bit weaker, as you can see. Then we get this up here to take a look at it, and then you'll be able to see that. Now, I have to report something very sad, folks. One of my mentors, Dr. Rosemiller, passed away last night at the age of 97. She's been under Alzheimer's care for quite a while now, the last five years. She's basically been out of it, but she's going to be missed. She helped a lot of people. She was really a great lady. She taught economics at Indiana State University when I was there, and I had her son, John, and her husband, John, and her maiden name was Turner. But John Turner and his son, Jerry, were very, very close to me. They had a soybean hedging operation for many years, and in 1976, we made a great deal of money, and they stayed with me through Drexel years and all that stuff, so it was fun. And John passed away many, many years ago, and she remarried. But she was a big help to me, teaching me about astrology. And it's really ironic because, if you'll remember, the top in the market in 1987 took another financial astrologer from us. That was George Lindsay, the very clairvoyant guy that was on Louis Rue Kaiser all the time. He died on the high of the stock market. I'm not saying this is the high of the stock market, but it was amazing that it was very, very interesting. I talked a little bit about yesterday, about the similarities between what I see in 09 and 1974 and 1982 and some of these things. Yes, Steve, she had a good, long life. She really did. I have so many memories of the Turner family. It was really great. They used to eat at my grandmother's restaurant.  And my mother was a waitress there, and she waited on him for many, many years. But anyway, she's in a good place. I'm sure she is.  And she was a really nice, really nice lady. Okay, let's move on here and talk a little bit about. Norm Winsky will be our guest at the break, and we'll have to talk to him about this lunar eclipse and full moon. The full moon here in the desert tonight, folks, is you don't even need lights. It's so bright. It's really spectacular. Very, very nice. All right, let's go on to... Oh, by the way, David White was posting in there about the situation when we were in Barry Lynn's office back in 1984 when the guy said that... I remember the guy's name. He was a GAN guy, and he said that the... What was his name? He's a very famous guy. Well, not super famous, but there were about eight or eight of us there, and he was really extolling the fact that beans couldn't go below whatever the price was. Anyway, he said, watch, and he sold... No, it wasn't Jerry Favors. No, no, no, no, no, no. Jerry Favors was not a GAN guy, is he? Jerry Favors was three peaks in a domed house. George Lindsay is what he did. He was in Columbus, Ohio. Extremely... The problem was he smoked about three packs of cigarettes a day, and all he did was work. Pretty much like what I do, know what Juppie DeGand did. That's what his two sons that I talked to him, to that... When we talked to two of his sons back in the 70s when Jimmy, 20 men and I were at Drexel, the boys said all they ever did was work. They said he just did... He worked all the time. Any vacation he took would be to some site like Egypt or some other place. So spent very little time with the family. His daughter, Gann's daughter, wouldn't even speak to us. But the one Gann's son was a dentist. The other one was a bond broker at Dean Witter. And so we were able to talk about that. And he did not have $55 million, but he did have a substantial... What do you call it? Inheritance when he passed away. I think he left about $300,000 in 1954 when he died.  And so anyway, that's neither here nor there. I'm meandering on here, folks, because I'm trying to come up with a situation to talk to you about the gold market. If you remember, let's just walk through the gold market just a little bit because we were bringing this to your attention as best we could. Let's get this up here. We'll see the daily first. This was the one where you can see the very clear ABCD pattern that is there. But the really important one in the gold market, folks, is the next one that I'm going to be showing you. And that is the weekly chart here in the gold. And you'll notice here, if you go back to the high that we made back in August of 2011, when we hit 1932, we came down, made a low in 2015 at 1,050. And then we rallied 61% yesterday. The 61% retracement on that whole move was 1,605, I believe. And we got to 1,611. So that pretty much tells us that that 61% retracement. And we've given back more than $70, actually about $70. When we went from 1610, when we went about 65, we went two harmonic numbers down. We went down a little more than just a little less than 70 bucks. Harmonic number is 32. So two times that was just about right. And then the rally that we've had so far this morning, we went down to 1540 and we rallied up $17 to 1558. That's telling you that those numbers are still in vogue. So if we can get above 1560 now, then this could be a pretty significant bottom in the gold market. We'll have to wait and see. But if we make new lows, we're hitting lower and lower. And the platinum doesn't look that good, even though it did hold support at 960. The lows been 953, I believe. It's held up pretty well. And silver still doesn't look very good. It rallied up to a 50% retracement. So I will say this. If we get above that high of 1610, 1611, whatever it was, this gold will make new highs. It'll take out $2,000 an ounce if we can do that. And there's a possibility because the Fed is in there pumping stuff, pumping money into the economy and everybody's putting it into the stock market. And that's one that will never go down, right? So we'll find out whether that's going to be the case or not. So we'll keep a close eye on some of these as we walk out the door of one opportunity and into the door of another opportunity. This is what I'm looking at, folks, in the stock market. I'm going to just bring this up. This is where we were here. I'm not going to bring this up anymore.

Okay folks, we're back and I've had a question about the situation when we were in Chicago sitting in Barry Lynn's office back in 1984. It was Mark Douglas and I and Barry Lynn was in there. Jack Waldock, Lynn Waldock was in there. He's the one, the bean trader that sold the 200 contracts. He was already heavily short and that was the situation that happened. Jack Waldock was a hog farmer over in Ohio and a really, really nice man. Barry Lynn, we lost Barry Lynn a few years ago in Palm Springs. He was helping a woman change a tire on a car and he got hit by a drunk driver, an illegal alien coming in out of Tijuana and he was killed instantly and a very, very nice man. Barry and I were the same age. I have an interesting story folks. I think you might like this. When I first went to Chicago in April of 1982 is when I went to Chicago. They started trading the S&P on April the 16th of 1982 and when I got there I was going to trade through Lynn Waldock because I had done a lot of business with them over the years at Drexel and cattle and hogs and a lot of bellies and a lot of cattle hogs and bellies and grains. I did all that through Lynn Waldock. Anyway, he asked me into his office and it was just he and I and he says, what can I do to make your stay here in Chicago more enjoyable and more profitable? I said, Barry, I said the one thing that would really help me is if on my equity run I've been in position for three days and I'm losing, if you'll just take me out on the opening of the fourth day. He said, we can program that. He said, yes, he said, I'll be happy to do that for you and folks over the next three years that I was there, it happened about four times and each time the runner would come up to me and said, hey, we've got a notice here to take this position off.  And I said, just take it out. And I'll tell you folks, if I would have reversed all of those positions, it would have been really, really spectacular moves. So that three-day rule works pretty good, especially if you're using pattern recognition. These things work either right away or they don't work at all. That's the bottom line. And here as we sit here today with the markets going crazy to the upside and this is crazy. You stop and think what happened. We were up over 100 handles from where we were when the first conflict hit over in Iraq, but that's it. So we'll see what's going to be happening here with these things. But as we come into this, and I mentioned this day of... Oh, I posted it. You'll see it was posted again just in case somebody might have missed it. This is what I'm looking at here as far as the astrology stuff to see what... Okay, there's your seat. This is where we were on March 5th of 2009. We're pretty much looking at pretty much the same thing. We've got five conjunctions coming up here in the next few days. And that's going to be interesting to look at.  There's a little bit of a difference, but a lot of things happening astrological. To me, that means a great deal because I got started in the astrology part with Dr. Miller because of what happened in 1974. In 1974, we had multiple conjunctions and oppositions in both October and December because of the retrograde motions of the markets. And that's pretty much what we're looking at. I do not have updated charts of Apple and Google, but let's take a quick look at them here and hopefully we'll be able to see where we are. A lot of these have gone higher. I'll give you... Well, they have to have gone higher because of the fact that the markets went crazy after there's a fact. Here's Google. We'll get this up here. I believe Google has made much new high. Apple's 307. Wow. That one was sure it didn't work. That would have been... The final one would have been... And here's the Apple. We'll see. Wow. Look at this. Talk about when ABCDs fail. Look at this, folks. We had an ABCD up there at 290, 289, and now we're at 307. So when patterns fail, folks, they really fail. So 419 in Google, 1419. So we've rallied another $70. Wow. Everybody likes this stuff. That's good. So we'll see what's going to happen. So I hope that helps. 307 pre-market. Okay. We'll keep a close eye on that one for sure. All right. Now let's move... I'll just post this thing from 1974 again so you can see these things that we were looking at because this was a major bottom in these things. This is what I think. Gator, I don't really know. All I know is when Dr. Miller showed me this, I was really... It really impressed me because it showed me the dates. And it's happened... We're going back to 1974. I can only think of five times this has happened. And each time it's been something pretty spectacular. And we're looking at some a lot of planetary things happening here. So whether it means a whole lot or not, I don't know. But all I do know is I'm looking at a pattern here this morning. This is the... Get this up here to take a quick look at it. This is the... Hold on up here. This is the NASDAQ over the last week. You can see the three drive to a top pattern here. We've gone up. We're almost... We hit 89.95. We're probably 89.9950. We didn't quite hit 9,000. I sold it. I put the stop above 9,000 by a couple points. And only because of that pattern and the fact that we're in the zone for all this astrology stuff.  But when I do get it right, markets go straight up, come straight down usually. And this market is certainly... We're losing an open interest in the NASDAQ almost every day. So there's no new buying coming in there. That's for sure. Now, the one thing that's a caveat here is the fact that the Fed could be monetizing the debt and just throwing money at this. But if they do, then the money is going to be spread out over other things. And so there's going to be a big inflationary gifu here pretty soon because that money's got to go somewhere unless they just take money out of the equation, which it could possibly be. So we'll have to wait and see. Someone's asked a question about the conspiracy theory that Dudette brought into the thing yesterday about the Iranians wanted to get that gentleman, Solomoni, out of the picture. So they said, take him out. And when they did, they fired 15 ballistic missiles into the two air bases. And folks, how can they fire 15 missiles and not kill anyone? Someone can explain that to me? That is just ridiculous. And now there's all kinds of things going on about the Iranian Airlines plane that was it. Oh, by the way, folks, I meant to mention to you tomorrow, or today, tomorrow is the full moon and lunar eclipse and it's also known as a wolf moon. And the reason why is the wolf's howl on the full moon more than ever. If you ever come out to Tucson and go over to Sabino Canyon, you can hear the coyotes in there on the full moons and boy, they certainly are. The little pups out there when the baby coyotes, oh my gosh, do they make a lot of noise when they're feeding? You just can't believe it. Okay, 150% market cap to GDP is 140%. Wow, that's really amazing, folks. That's very interesting. Well, we'll see what happens. We'll be able to see.

Larry, good morning. Good morning. Okay, my friend, take the mic. The show is yours. Okay, I thought I'd review we had a solar eclipse on the wee hours of December 26th right after the Christmas holiday. I thought we'd take a look at that because that's kind of related to what's coming up tomorrow with a lunar eclipse, see if this stuff is working or not, there's nothing going on. That was in the sign of Capricorn, so it was just strongly indicated for what's coming up here over the next couple of days, so let's take a look at coffee for back on the around the 26th. As you see on the chart here at the top of my page one, Mark had traded into a little wedgie pattern there. The apex being right on the 26th, that often happens when you get a wedge or triangle formation right to the key date, broke out on the 27th to the upside, and as you bought the breakout you had a chance to make a couple of handles there on coffee. Moving on ahead here, copper was even better. You caught pretty much close to the top of the copper market there, back on the solar eclipse. The green arrow indicates where that would be. I put a red box here to indicate that because the corn was going absolutely sideways, I don't do sideways, because our good old friend Isaac Newton said for every action there's an opposite equal reaction and if the market's going sideways you can't expect much on the other side of the key date. Time is the most important thing I look at. Mr. Gann told us that the key times will give us the key prices. Oh, by the way, I want to go back to coffee just for a moment, sorry about that, but this is one of our going to be one of our top featured markets for the coming events here. I'll tell you more about that in a minute, but notice we had this rally all the way from I think October and all the way from I think the 95 area, 95 and a half or so. Rally to 142 and a half into mid December and now we've been coming down, down, down and if you do a 618 retracement it points to around the 113 area where only five handles away. We could easily do that here in the next days. So we'll get to more of that in just a few minutes. Here's the goal did not really respond and so we take a miss on that one with a red arrow. Silver was a little better rallied up there, made a little bit of a short term top and an opportunity to make some small money there by selling the silver near the solar eclipse. Here's your beans. Again, you had a little bit of opportunity if you hung in there, went a few pennies against you, but then it's eventually went your way. Here's your wheat was really nice. We came down and made a nice pullback loader right on the eclipse and then rally back up there so that was a beautiful one there. That's a P may go back and look at your charts just because the market has moved so much. The scaling is kind of small, but you did make a little bit of a short term top there on the 27th, right on the next day. The same thing made a short term top right on the 27th there, there's your eclipse on the 26th and moving ahead here, here's the dollar that was really nice, made a nice top there for the dollar on the right on the 26th. Here's your Euro made as you would expect be a mere image of the dollar and it made a bottom right there right around the 26th. Here's your yen was even better. Beautiful bottom there in the end. So now let's move ahead and look at how my planetary index kind of related to the Bradley model, but I do do things a little differently. I started changing the Bradley model back when I stumbled on Bristol Bradley back in the early 70s and there we go. I draw the blue line a couple of weeks ahead of the month. There's December starting on Monday the 2nd ending on Friday the 27th and I drew the blue line and then overlaid the black 10-minute bar chart for the S&P on top and I think that's a pretty good correlation there. Actually that's per scale, the actual scale on the black bars there. Alright now let's take a look at something I don't talk about very often I do fractals. I take the price action of January extrapolated out for the year look at the corn it's unbelievable that's all I did I published these blue bars back in February to be exact the February 11th of 2019 for the whole year that I overlaid the prices and you can see there that's a pretty nice correlation there where the corn said we'd be making a low on the first quarter go up and make a high around June right around the 3rd week of June and then down and then chop chop chop sideways that's pretty much what happened. Here's the OJ about Billy Ray and Lewis they're happy with this one look at that the blue bars said we were going down down down for the OJ all year and that's what happened here's the Dow Jones look at that did the same thing for the Dow Jones there we go nice correlation there with the blue bars and the black bars okay and this is not astrological by the way it's purely based on the price action the markets are fractal that means you take a little piece of it and you can extrapolate it out for the bigger picture and it works look at the wheat there wheat ironically or paradoxically what I call it made a big W for the year and that's what was forecasted big W for wheat I guess right all right moving on ahead here's what's coming up it's huge so anyway we have starting this morning we have Saturn 120 degrees from the U.S. Saturn that's based on where the plants were on July the 4th 1776 I know it sounds crazy but it works and we have all these things that's am is morning AC is after the close this evening we have heliocentric from the point of view of the sun Saturn is going to line up Pluto that only occurs on average 33 and a half years now you're probably wondering and we also have the geocentric version coming up here over the weekend so they're only a couple days apart and it's all occurring as you'll see down here everything's bunched up in the Cynic Capricorn okay today by the way is the 9th of January you talked about the king's birthday yesterday well President Nixon's birthday is today and Mr. President Nixon famously said in 1973 on his birthday had a press conference and somebody noticed the Dow Jones had broken out over the magic thousand mark which I had trouble doing ever since it kissed there on February the 9th 1966 this is seven years later it couldn't get over a thousand and stay there but it temporarily did that and so a reporter asked President Nixon what he thought of the economy or the stock market and President Nixon famously said if I were president I'd be buying stocks all Americans should buy stocks okay you do a Presley I do a Nixon they were worried okay anyway so what happened was two days later on the 11th of January 11 1973 the stock market topped out and went into what became the worst bear market since the 1930s so that's kind of a lesson there in math psychology the president said to buy stocks right at the top of the market so anyway that's kind of an interesting thing so we have all these things line up Jupiter huge stuff for the U.S. natal chart that's taking a snapshot of the plans back on July the 4th Saturday 7 or 6 we also have the Saturn Pluto conjunction tomorrow afternoon about 221 I believe eastern time we got a lunar eclipse over the weekend we have Uranus if you're in the CD market and

we're back folks with Norm Winske from Astro trend do you want to continue Norm? yes sir thank you Larry so I was saying we have this huge cluster of astrological planetary activity here over the next two trading days into the weekend so here's the markets here's your shopping list if you can take a screenshot on this this will probably be very helpful but we're going to be looking at your US because of the US natal chart that's taking a snapshot of the plan it's on July the 4th 1776 and all that's happening there we want to watch US stocks debonds dollar also because of Saturn Pluto we got the cocoa coffee notice that's highlighted and then we also let's see what else we have of course with the lunar eclipse that's a full special kind of full moon you want to round up the usual suspects financials, grains, precious metals coffee and especially silver and stocks for that and then we have Uranus if that weren't enough any one of these would be huge it's triple huge I guess because we have Uranus turning direct in the sign of Taurus the bull over the weekend and that's going to be as you might guess copper is Uranus cotton is Taurus and stocks and then we have more US stuff more US stuff there's your Saturn geocentric Saturn Pluto over the weekend so that again has cocoa coffee stocks and debonds here's the astrological map for mid-day tomorrow you see how everything's bunched up there there's Jupiter there's the sun there's Mercury all bunched together there and there's Saturn Pluto just minutes apart and that only occurs every 33 and a half years on Saturn Pluto get together and you might wonder they're all in Capricorn you might wonder how often does that occur I had to go back through 600 years of data to find the last time Saturn and Pluto were in Capricorn as it turns out is 200 no cancel that it was 502 years January the third of 1502 15 I wrote it down hold on a second I'll have that in a second here I wrote it down I wrote it down I wrote it down there we go I got my little note here and oh there it is January the third 1518 1518 you probably remember that Larry right yeah there we go I think you were doing some soybean traits that day there we go okay so there we go there's the picture there it's huge so hopefully you got your shopping list here look for the markets and there's a little high likelihood that they're going to reverse by Monday if they don't like Larry says if it doesn't work if it's a small percentage of time that it doesn't work then we're looking at a huge acceleration you know okay so here's how to get a hold of me I got three classes so you can learn how to day trade I got the day trading down to the one to two minute window and we tell you in advance when the look of the markets based on the planets and it works pretty well and there we go and I got an advanced class for the swing trading I can teach you fractals I got the fractal results are coming out in February for 2020 got the fractal results for 2019 and here's how they get the hold of the norm there we go I'm in sunny Naples Florida there's my phone take a snuggler screen shot of that if you can two three nine five nine four three nine three nine for the folks on the radio and there's an whiskey and Bart mail dot com with a Q in the middle not a G that's embark like root beer and Skype is and whiskey underscore one I got any questions there from the Tiger Dan Larry I think you've covered it pretty well Norm we want to thank you for joining us and we want to wish you a very very happy new year and we'll talk to you again soon all right happy new year everybody hope to hear from you real soon so we can talk to you in the Q for the next cycle of classes I usually do these monthly so get a hold of me right away okay okay thanks a lot all right good luck good luck getting through the next few days everybody all right okay thank you all right folks well he gives a little recap of what's happening these few days so it's going to be very very interesting to say the least so that's what's important by the way those of you folks that are trading the crude oil short term little pattern happening right now in crude oil there's a tiny little three drive pattern but it's so small I'm reluctant to even bring it to your attention but since I did but since I did just be really careful because if it's good it won't go below $59 a barrel if it's in fact if it's actually a very good one or not but we've had this big big drop here in crude oil folks over the last several days and we're setting almost exactly at the 61% retracement let me just bring this up here wow this isn't actually a pretty good one let's move up here just to take a look at it to let you folks look because this is a on the five minute chart there's a three drive to a bottom there we're setting right at the 61% retracement there at $59.15 so we're trading $59.25 so anything below $59.00 would be you know relatively bad now we've got a you know really chart in the crude oil we were alerting to you the fact it had a great deal of resistance up there at that level that it hit that was a 61% retracement and we've dropped believe it or not folks we've dropped 10% in crude oil in just two days I mean that's a monster move we've gone from just about $65.27 down to $59.25 exactly 10% six handles so that's a big big move so that's going to be interesting whether it can hold this level that we're at right now so I hope that helps you as long as what we're watching some of these things but it's relatively important to spend a little time doing that it doesn't look like I'm going to be able to have Tom Tom who guard on tomorrow because he is still traveling and doesn't seem to be in the office as of yet but as soon as he's back I'm sure he will join us on a Friday and we'll also have David Paul on very soon also so let's keep in mind that that's what we're watching here and we'll keep a close eye on some of this stuff just to see what we'll have hold on one second here hold on one second here okay bear with me or one second folks I have to do something alright let's move on here folks we mentioned that there's a possibility that these stocks could melt up this would be a historical and there's certainly a possibility of that but history says that that's not what's going to happen because markets that extend like this are usually going to be what goes up must come down that type of thing but remember there's a big difference between fear and greed the greed markets are harder because it's a complacency people just hang on and hang on fear is easier because you see the physical attributes of fear you see dilated pupils diaphoresis or sweating heart palpitations chockiness around the mouth dryness around the mouth oh my gosh I look in the mirror and there it is folks you're going to have if you're going to try to get in some of these markets I have a game plan that I've been thinking about for

these dates that starting with a January 10th going into Monday we have five conjunctions out there that are going to be very very interesting to see whether they turn the corner or not but that's it's this type of pattern with all these planets is what got me interested into the astrology stuff and I've already decided that if this one doesn't work I will not mention astrology anymore on TFNN because I feel very strongly that something big is getting ready to happen and the only other time I ever did something this stupid was back in 1989 in November I was writing newsletter Astro Cycles and I saw something that was just monstrous and I said this will be on the newspaper of every newspaper in the world this is going to be so big and I said if it's not I said I'll give everybody a free subscription to Astro Cycles for a full year well it hit every newspaper but the stocks didn't do anything Mr. Gorbachev tear that wall down that was November of 89 and the market didn't do a darn thing and so anyway that's neither here nor there it was a big thing it was the Berlin Wall but this one is going to be big so we'll see whether it means too much or not so watch it. Gold I believe has made a major top folks because of that 61% retracement and the fact that we have such very negative divergence in silver and platinum but all that could change if we get above that 1610 level and the slightest little tweet or the little rockets red glare something like that you can see these markets go crazy especially since the Fed is pumping money there's nothing like there's no tomorrow different than the economics that I knew when I studied in school but that's neither here nor there so tomorrow we were going to have Tom on but he's not going to be able to join us I don't believe if he does he'll be on if not we'll have him on soon for sure so we'll keep a close eye on that so remember to live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may God bless and try to help and may God bless and have a whole lot less than you because there's a bunch of them out there

There are generally three main reasons, one doesn't talk about their job in polite company. The first is that the job is dull, or hated to the point that talking about it is almost painful, or at least pityfully boring. The second is that an employer has set down rules, about what can and can't be told to outsiders. The third is that one does not have a job, that can appropriately be discussed in polite company. My job, I suppose, is a little of all three. After ten years of reviewing illegally imported audio-visual material, I have seen pretty much all there is to see of humanity's sickness. Perverted sex, murder, and mutilation have all become routine. Of course, I can't talk much about the things I've seen, nor would most people want to hear about it. What may interest you though dear reader, is a little urban legend I heard, back when I started this job, back when the sight of violence and death still had a profound impact upon me. I was told, by a gentleman I will refer to only as George, that, amongst our kind, the guardians of moral decency, who keep the filth of less scrupulous countries off our street. There is an urban legend. The legend of Amy's video. According to George, the story goes that after so long on the job, our kind can become desensitized to the extreme violence and cruelty that we witness every day. This phenomenon happens around the world, apparently, wherever our job is undertaken. When one of our people really loses it, George told me, they create their own videos, their minds poisoned by all that they have witnessed. They then send their video internationally, through the post, or by giving it to some poor unsuspecting soul, who brings it across the border.  Their content, murder, torture, rape, mutilation, and their victims, men, women, children, animals, changes between videos, reflecting the maker's preferences and tastes. There are however, two distinguishing features of the videos. First, a symbol of a stick man, painted in blood, somewhere during the course of the carnage.  Second, the video was always disguised a normal video, containing the name Amy. The title could be, Amy's Wedding, or Amy's First Steps, or simply, For Amy. This way, they could be identified by others of our kind. I didn't really believe the story, at the time. I was young and naive, believing that I could never become accustomed to the horrifying images that I witnessed on screen. Never mind, consider that one could be convinced to create such carnage themselves. And as the years went by, I became more and more convinced that it wasn't real. We were the protectors, after all. It was six months ago that the DVD came in. A young man with an extensive stash of pornography from Thailand had it, amongst other dubious content.  It was the name, though, that caught my attention. When it fell to me to check the DVDs for illegal content, I held that one in my trembling hands, wondering, for the first time, if it could really be true. I studied the cover, sitting in my ergonomic computer chair. I turned the case over and over, looking for some way to ease my anxiety. My gaze settled upon the blurb, the usual claptrap that passed for a plot. Many words were in bold, and I was drawn to them, like a moth to the flame. You are entitled. That wasn't what made my heart pound, though. No, it was the copyright symbol at the bottom, saying, Stickman Enterprises. It had to be a coincidence, right? With unsteady hands, I put in the DVD. It had been taped over a legitimate porn movie. Or maybe the movie had been specially made for it, who knew? I relaxed, thinking that everything was okay, until the screen flickered and changed. The two young girls were Asian, 15 or 16 years old maybe, but I couldn't tell anything about where the movie was filmed. The camera didn't move, unless manipulated by the man in front of it, a tall, well-built man in a ski mask. It seemed he was the director, as well as the star of this little snuff film. I can't tell you, dear reader, what inspeakable acts took place on camera, while atrocities were committed to film. Needless to say, it wasn't pretty. The Stickman on the bathroom tiles though, was what made my heart really race. It was true. It was all true. I sat back, watching the blood flow, watching the bathtub fill with it. It was like a revelation, dear reader, a sign that our kind, the moral authority, could subvert the norm, could inflict upon the world, what we have had to endure ourselves for so long. Dear reader, if you ever become one of us, you are entitled. It may take years of training, but eventually, you will come around. I didn't believe it either, at first. I didn't think it was possible, that I was capable. But the divorce papers my husband served on me today, they made my heart sing. It's a sign. A new chapter in Amy's history is coming soon. And I will not miss it.


Hello and welcome on our STM32Cube IDE by Zeke's training session. In this section we will create ADC example using the DMA transfers of the conversion results. ADC will be triggered by the timer events. For all of those actions we will use HAL library. We will start with launching STM32Cube IDE. We can use existing workspace or we can create a new one. And we will create a new project for STM32G071 microcontroller. I will create a new project within existing workspace. So I go to file new STM32 project. It will start with the target selection. So our microcontroller is STM32G071RB, RQFP64 package which is present on Nucleobard. Our project name could be for example G0, ADC, DMA. And I would use C language, executable binary file and project type STM32Cube. I would keep the rest as a default settings. Let's wait a minute till the device configuration will be started. Okay, we've got the device configuration window in front of us. There is our microcontroller and it's been out. So let's start from selecting the debug interface. So I go to system, core, assist and serial wire. I can see PA13 and 14 selected as a debug interfaces. Then let's select analog channel. So I go to analog section, ADC1. I scroll down to select the internal temperature sensor. We cannot see any change on the pinout because it's internal. And I need to put some configuration for the ADC. So let's go to the parameter settings first and let's select some basic settings. We will keep the clock prescalar to synchronous clock mode divided by 2. It means that our ADC would be clocked by the system clock divided by 2. Our system clock is HSI 16 MHz, which we can verify in a clock configuration. So this is our system clock, 16 MHz. And ADC clock mode, it is this one. This selector, it is used for the ADC clock. At the moment we can see that it's clocked by the system clock. And additionally, we are dividing this clock by 2. It means that ADC would be clocked by 8 MHz, which is important to select the proper sampling time parameters. Let's go further. We need to set the sampling time for selected channel. We've got two sampling times. In fact, we can select two different sampling times for two different groups of channels, which would be sampled. In our case, there would be only one channel, which would use, for example, sampling time common 1. By default, there is the smallest possible value there. It's 1.5 clock cycles, which is far too fast for our temperature sensor. But to have the exact value, we need to go to the documentation of our microcontroller. How to reach documentation to our microcontroller? In the meantime, I have opened the datasheet for our STM32G071 microcontroller. Let's try to find the proper value of the sampling time of our temperature sensor. For this purpose, we'll have a look into the electrical characteristics and operating conditions. Within this list, there should be one chapter concerning temperature sensor characteristics, like here. In this chapter, we can see some basic characteristics of our temperature sensor. On the next page, we can find the sampling time for this temperature sensor, which is set as a minimum of 5 microseconds, which is the 5 microseconds. Having these 5 microseconds as a minimum sampling time requested for internet temperature sensor and knowing that our ADC would be blocked by 8 MHz, we can calculate easily that we need at least 40 clock cycles of this 8 MHz clock to properly sample our ADC channel temperature sensor. Let's have a look at which value would be the most proper one. We do not have 40 clock cycles, we've got 39.5, which is below this minimum value. This is why we will select the next one, so 79.5 clock cycles as a sampling time. We are leaving the sampling time common to not touched, as we will not use it. We will have only one conversion, which is the temperature sensor, and we need to specify as well the trigger conversion source. By default it is software, we will change it to Timer 2 trigger out, and we select one of the edges, we can keep it like this. Let's scroll down the rank 1, which is the information about our channel. So we can see it is one channel, it is its name, it's a temperature sensor, and its sampling time is 79.5 clock cycles, which is the value we would like to have. We keep the rest of the parameters not touched, because we will not use them. The next point would be to configure the DMA, which would be used to transfer the data from ADC to internal buffer within SRAM. So let's go to the DMA settings, there is nothing at the moment, click add, select the channel, there is only one DMA request, ADC1. We have more than one channel available, because please remember that SDM32G0 contains DMA MOOCs, which allows us to select different DMA channels for different peripherals. We've got a lot of possibilities here. Select the default configuration. That direction would be from peripheral to memory, because we will take the data from ADC and transfer them into the buffer within SRAM. There would be only one DMA transfer, so let's keep the priority on the low level. We will use only a single set of the conversions, so let's keep them out normal. That means that after the last conversion, the DMA transfer would be stopped and we will stop on the last component within the buffer. Data with, let's keep as a half-word, because we will transfer 12-bit data, and we would increment the address on memory side. The rest of the parameters we will keep not touched. So that's it for ADC configuration. Next step would be the configuration of the timer, which would trigger our ADC conversions. So let's go to the Timers, Timer tool, and let's select the clock source for this timer as an internal clock. We will not use any channels, because we will use only timebase. So the overflows of the timer to trigger the ADC and these ADC conversions. So let's switch to the configuration, and we need to set somehow the configuration of the timer to trigger our ADC with the frequency of 1 Hz. How to configure our timer to work with the frequency of 1 Hz on the output and trigger our ADC with this frequency? Let's have a look on the clock configuration once again. We see that our system clock is configured on 16 MHz, which is transferred to all of the peripherals. As we can see, our timer clock is as well 16 MHz. So we need to divide somehow these 16 MHz in such a way to have 1 Hz at the end. Let's come back to the pinout configuration, and we've got here a few possibilities. I would propose the following technique. Let's use a pre-scaler, which is 16-bit value, to divide the clock as the first step. So I would propose to divide it by 16 000. It is important to put here the value, which is the desired value, minus 1, due to the fact that in the final calculation there is one edit to the value stored in this PSC part of the register. After this operation, we will have as input clock to the timer, to its counter, 1 kHz. So we need to divide these 1 kHz somehow to have 1 Hz. To do this, we are using this counter period, which would be set to 1000. I put the value 999, due to the fact that we are calculating from 0. So after these 2 operations, our timer would overflow with the frequency of 1 Hz, which is the desired value. This is the first part of the configuration of the timer. So we will have a timer which would overflow in the frequency of 1 Hz. The second step is to configure the trigger output, the RGO pin parameters. So the next point is to select properly the trigger output parameters. So first we need to enable this master slave mode to enable triggering another peripherals like ADC by this timer and then select the source of this trigger output signal. So we will change this reset, which is the default value, to update event. And on each overflow of the timer, we will have a trigger pulse to start a new conversion by ADC. That's all operations within the device configuration. We can generate the code. So I can simply save the project, so Ctrl S. Yes, after a while a project is generated. So we can go to our main .c file, which is the main file of our code. Okay, so we can see it is initially pre-configured. All of the peripherals within the device configuration are initialized. What is missing is a calibration of ADC, then its start and the final configuration of its connection to DMI. And then as a final step, start of a timer tool, which would trigger the ADC conversions. So let's do it step by step. Let's start from definition of the buffer we will use to store the ADC data. So the first thing would be the definition of its maximum size. So I would call it as ADC buff size and I would set it to 8. Please have a look that I'm putting the code within the user code sections just to be sure that after the code regeneration from the device configuration my code would be not deleted. So the next step would be the buffer itself. The buffer will be used to store the 12-bit data. So we will use a 16-bit size of its basic component. Then let's name it ADC buffer and its size will set to this define, which we have defined in bit before. Okay, so this is the first step, definition of the data where we will store the temperature values. Okay, so next step would be to calibrate the ADC. Calibration is needed to remove the offset error and it should be run on each power on of the application. So just after the reset in our case. For this we've got a dedicated function within the hull. So if I would use hull ADC EX, EX means extended. It is special marking for the functions within the hull, which means that this particular function may differ from other similar functions on different STM32 lines. If you do not see an EX as a suffix the function name, it means that this function can be copy-pasted across the families without any change. In case of ADC, these calibration functions may differ from family to family. This is why we've got this EX as a suffix at the end. Okay, so we need to select the proper function. Calibration start. Then the first argument, the only argument is ADC one handler. And that's it. To be sure that this calibration has been done properly, I would check it. So I would check whether this function has been executed correctly. If it's executed correctly, it should return the value hull okay. So I would use simple if and then if... Okay, so if it's not equal, it should execute the error handler function. This error handler function is automatically generated by Cubemix as well. You can find it at the bottom of this file. This function is defined as an empty function. So we can put here any action which would be triggered in case of any problems of hull functions execution. Let's back to our coding. So our ADC is calibrated. Then the next step would be to start ADC. So let's have a look for the options we've got. ADC start. And we've got three options. We've got start, startDMA, startIT. Start is a following mode. StartIT is with usage of interrupts. And startDMA is with usage of cooperation with DMA. So we are selecting this option. And we need to specify three arguments. The first one is a handler to ADC we are using. So this is ADC HADC1. Then there is a pointer to the buffer where the data should be stored. And length of this buffer. So the first argument is pointer. Then there should be the buffer name. So ADC buffer. And it's length. And again, it would be good to check whether this function is executed correctly as well. This is why I'm adding this part of the code. And the last operation to start the process is to start the timer2. To start the timer2 we need to execute the hull function from a timer module which would start the timebase. Timebase means that we are using only the counter and its overflows without any action connected to input or output channels. So in our case we've got again startDMA, startIT. We don't care about the IT or DMA usage for the timer. So we are selecting the first function, the simplest one. The only argument we need to put here is a handler to this timer. So there is only one timer2. And again, let's be sure that everything is correct with this function execution. This is why I'm adding this checkup. Okay, and we are done. So this is the basic piece of the code to start our ADC conversion with usage of DMA and triggering by the timer2. The source of the trigger has been done in a device configuration. In the code we need to first do the calibration of ADC and then specify the buffer and its size and start both peripherals. Okay, so the missing point is to process the interrupt which is related to our DMA transfer complete. The interrupt call is managed within the stm32g0xx underscore IT.c file where we will find the DMA1 channel 1 IRQ handler. This function is automatically generated by the device configuration by stm32cube IDE. And it is calling the function HAL DMA IRQ handler from our device. The HAL library is built in such a way that if we are using DMA usually it is assigned to one of the peripherals. There is a link created between DMA and the peripheral with which DMA is working. So in such a case instead of calling the callbacks from the peripheral in our case ADC can be used instead. So what we need to do, it is defined within the HAL MSP.c file. If we go to ADC MSP init function you can see that there is a configuration of DMA channel and there is a macro called HAL underscore link DMA which is connecting our ADC with a DMA handler and it is connecting in fact the callbacks from ADC which should be used normally by its interouts to callbacks with callbacks from DMA. As a result we can reuse for example ADC conversion complete callback from ADC as a final result of DMA transfer complete. Knowing this we can add the function within our main.c file user code for a section is very good for this and we are adding the new code. So HAL ADC conversion complete callback and within this callback we can either stop ADC in DMA mode or timer to do not trigger ADC anymore. So I will stop ADC so I'm selecting the function HAL ADC stop and again we've got a DMA option and I'm checking whether this function is properly executed. If not I will call error handler. Okay so this will give us only the option to really stop the ADC operations once the buffer is full. In the next step we will try to post-process those data. So let's finish this project at the moment. Let's try to compile it. In the next step we will connect our board and try to render the debug session and let's observe what would be the result which we can gain in the ADC buffer. Okay I have my board connected. The code is compiled. Let's try after connection of the board to run the debug session. So let's go to the debug session. I run it. The application will switch to the debug perspective. Now I can have a look on the buffer. As you can see now I can have a look on its value current value, the base address, the type of it. So at the moment it contains only zeros. Please remember that our conversion will last 8 seconds. We've got a buffer which sizes 8 elements and the frequency of the trigger is 1 hertz. It gave us 8 seconds. To be sure that we are just at the end of the conversion let's put our breakpoint in a callback which would be triggered in case of DMA transfer complete. Okay so I'm starting the execution of the code. Let's write 8 seconds more or less. Okay execution is finished at the moment. So now we can have a look on the buffer. So we can for example highlight it in this area. And you see the values are not the temperature ones. We need to convert it to the temperature. Right now it's pure reading from ADC, it's a real value. It needs to be converted. For this we need a reference voltage value which is in our case the power supply of the board which is 3.3 volts. And we've got a special macro which can be used here to convert this value into the Celsius decrease. So now we will do this process. Okay so the next step would be to specify the flag which would be used to highlight when there is a time to do the conversion of the data. I would go into user code section for the private variable and I would create one variable which is 8-bit long and I would call it flag with initial value set to 0. Then I would set this flag within our DMA transfer complete flag set to 1. And based on this value I would trigger the post-processing of ADC data within while one loop. So I would create here the if loop. So if a flag is equal to 1 we will do some post-processing and at the end of course we need to clear the flag to not do the same operations all the time. Okay let's try to find the function which would convert our data but before this we will specify the index which would be used to convert the data from the buffer one by one. I would use the simplest possible variable 8-bit because we've got only 8-bit data. IDX I would set the default value as 0 and then we would create here the simple for loop for IDX equal to 0 then IDX less than ADC buff size IDX plus plus. So it would create a simple for loop. Let's find the function for macro which would convert our ADC row data into the temperature in Celsius decrease. A lot of such functions are started with low-layer modules for given peripheral. So let's start from this underscore low-layer which is the common name of the macros very useful macros to do simple operations then the peripheral name like ADC underscore and control space. We can see here interesting macro ADC calc temperature it looks that it is something we are looking for as a first argument it needs reference analog voltage which has been used for the ADC then the row data from ADC and resolution we have used during our measurements. Let's have a closer look on these macros so I would click right button on mouse and open declaration. So the first argument is analog reference voltage in millivolts so I would define this name within my code in a section private defines over here I have measured this value it's 3.3 volts in millivolts it would be 3300 and I would use this as a first argument of our macro. Let's go to the second. Second argument is conversion data measured by ADC so this is our buffer this is the name of our buffer and of course we need a single element so idx and the third argument was the resolution we have used 12 bits so I will select the resolution 12 bits like this and of course we need to store the value in the buffer again so we will just replace the old values with the new ones in the Celsius decrease let's try to compile the code and start the demarc session let's remove the break point from our callback I already did it so we don't need it in this place we would need to insert the callback in our wild one loop on the place when the flag would be cleared which means that it should be triggered once the conversion to the Celsius decrease is done I double click on this line and I run the conversion so first it would convert data from the temperature sensor and then it will land in this part of the code and convert it to the Celsius decrease we are already there so I would just highlight our ADC buffer and please have a look right now instead of 900 something we've got a value in the Celsius decrease please remember that this value is the temperature of the silicon of the structure within the microcontroller it is not the ambient temperature it is the structure temperature this is why it can be a bit higher what we feel, what we've got in our environment ok, we can terminate the session and that's it for this module thank you for watching this video


The Niger Football Federation has endorsed a proposal by the Technical and Development Subcommittee for the appointment of Portuguese manager Osipo Cerro as the new head coach of the Superalbums. His appointment follows the sacking of Gennet Raul earlier this month. The executive committee of the LFF has ever resolved that the interim head coach Augustin de Guevane will be in charge for the African Cup of Nations in Canberra where coach Prasero will serve as an observer.
