Hello everyone, welcome to you have hundreds of clouds deployed now what genius To start us off introduce you to the lovely talented and fierce Kayla from me And this is Lee revere so AIC is a massively distributed large open-stack cloud It is a platform that hosts or has many tools to have automation from end to end There's a lot of effort that goes into deploying one cloud site times that by 80 or a hundred or hundreds And you have a lot of automation that needs to be put in place And it's not about automating each individual piece, but from end to end When you've got 80 plus sites With two regions per site, you know 160 plus is owned so 160 individual clouds more or less and Managing that when you have tenants who aren't in but to Possibly all of them. How do you keep track of where they are? How do you put their loads in the right place make sure their tenancy set up their images are there? All of that becomes a bigger challenge So we had to develop a number of tools and our whole goal for everything obviously is to automate all of it There are a lot of manual processes that we're taking days hands off with different teams And we wanted to make that streamlined so that one person could do what several groups were doing and the only way We could do that obviously was That was how All about automation So we created a number of tools to meet our specific needs the first one's actually under development this is how capacity planners take their plan of execution plan of demands and Put them into a tool that they can model things and and change on a regular basis I mean these things change weekly So we need to be able to reserve things like You have the tenant that's coming in and you need to reserve their capacity But is that capacity that they're bringing on new hardware to support? So you don't want to reserve the existing infrastructure and take up for other tenants capacity for expansion So you need to be able to reserve things that aren't even deployed yet as well as things that you needed more immediately After that we have a IC formation This one's had a significant impact we can reduce the workload that These are things we've been doing for 20 plus years spreadsheets, Vizio diagrams all of that It would take two and a half or more weeks for the groups that were involved in putting those together We can do it in 10 minutes or less Up simple is actually our automation for all of the deployment So these tools all talk to each other So there's an API available in formation that when all of the design work is done There's automation to other systems for IP allocation for DNS It makes all of that information available in an API that our deployment software reads to pull all the information It needs to do the actual deployment From up simple you have the self-service portal now that up simple deployed the site and has the cloud running You're going to start provisioning tenants on it. So this is just a Nice web interface that allows tenants to come in and create their you know Their tendency in this number of sites that they're supposed to be in and it gives it that front-end for ease of use That then hands off to like up open-stack resource man resource manager and ballet to go actually do the deployments to put The images in to create the tendencies to put the flavors everything that those tenants need in the places that they exist It's fancy. I just like watching it Formations the one I'm the most proud of This is one that I've been a network engineer for more years and I want to admit and We used to have to do these manually. So we'd create a rack elevation and Vizio or a spreadsheet Populate a bunch of information about all the different devices Then you do a cable map spreadsheet, you know, you got thousands of cables Great opportunity for human error E-mailing them back and forth from stage to stage where it opens up for mistakes and Things getting out of sync which then turns into a deployment error because you have formation feeding your deployment automation We'd lose days going back and forth on spreadsheets So then ops simple will take the information from formation Create the necessary YAML files used for the deployment and go through and do the deployment start out with the seed node You know metal as a service type stuff And then feeds into fuel and deploys the entire open stack environment as well as our VNF's that are our non open stack infrastructure components So after your site deployed and we have the cell service portal that Lee mentioned and it serves as a centralized portal for anyone to go in and order their Resources and for a tenant to be created After your tenants created or while your tenants being created SSP feeds information to ORM open stack a resource manager and ORM creates the flavors Keeps the images consistent so that we don't have different types of images across our massive platform It also allows flavors to be created in the similar fashion And again just enjoy the animation or the While you're creating a tenant And we have clouds around the world specific VNF's and tenants need to be placed in certain locations and also have other things to be included while to be considered while that VM is being spun up so like affinity groups and maybe you want to be two VMs to be close to each other. Maybe you don't know valet acts as a Plug-in to the Nova scheduler to do those things It has a little more enhanced features to it so that you know you don't want to put two high capacity workloads You know on the same node So it takes into consideration what those loads are and separates them out further than just saying I want these nodes My two redundant nodes in different racks It looks at how much you're putting in this one node and make sure you don't overload it with the similar workloads So after you have your clouds deployed your tenants created Now what? Continue the automation I thought you were gonna start talking about automation 2020 So like we talked earlier Automation of a platform is not just about automating the individual pieces But bringing those things together using APIs and microservices and building an ecosystem of applications for Platform with many different cloud with many clouds So if you think about all the things that we just discussed You're introducing this new hardware that you had a tool designed for you It's created the cable rack spreadsheet. It's created the elevations and all but somebody has to go back in and put all then into inventory So why just why do that more than once if you've got a tool with the API as your inventory systems will pull it You give a notification that you have an update or a new site and they can pull just the pieces or the entire site As well as feeding all the additional tools passing that same information down instead of just Telling somebody there's another another site giving them a spreadsheet. They take it modify it do whatever they do with it Just keep it all in the same system and and passing it down the chain before we go into any questions the LQ is a working group that AT&T participates in and leads to work with other large telecoms and other large companies for contributing operator needs to the open stack so Any questions? We have a lot of customized code For our requirements. Yes, but it is still coming from trunk We have a few different versions running right now. Yeah, we have Juno and Kilo running and Next year we've started the open stack home project to do Kubernetes based deployments with open stack And so we're looking to jump to as close as possible to the open stack current open stack release next year of open stack Well, some of the tools we just mentioned and like ballet that's being pushed back to the the community That's already been posted. I think ORM is we're in the process of doing so we're contributing back these automation tools but to your point We do do use open-con trail and even the things that we've done in fuel all of the work that we've needed that has been customized Morantis has pushed that back into the community as well So for the most part all of the things that we're having people customize that we need is getting pushed back up into the The core I was supposed to repeat your question. Thank you So there are like 100 data centers. I guess are different the open stack so as those different open stacks they have they They have some kind of the upper verse one more layer above that is doing orchestration doing some kind of federation or Some kind of unique unified management for all those different Overstack So you might be talking about own app as far as stitching together the WAN or doing some of the resource orchestration for tenant space Or you're talking about ORM That goes out and does all of the placement of the tenants and the various locations that they're supposed to be as long as their Images and and the other unique things for that tendency Yep, so that was the answer ORM does a lot of it for pushing the tenant stuff around so that we're sewing all these clothes together You know so you don't have to go and log into each horizon dashboard and do these things You know push it once through ORM and it starts with a self-service portal So that you know the users have a web interface to do it and then ORM knows to go and create these things in all these Different locations, but then own app to Paul's point would be the network portion to stitch it all together and Even substantiate or instantiate the tenancy VMs It's all been given to the community Does that answer your question If you want to have some follow-ups on it, we'll be happy to talk to you about perfect. I think we're out of time. Thanks guys. Thank you

Welcome back fellow techies. Today's video is something different. It's the tech talks. Episode 2. And today we're going to be talking about video editing software. But which one should we use? There's so many out there, and so many do all sorts of different things. Well, we're here to have a discussion about them today. Well, we have some free ones, we have some expensive ones, and we have some ones that just do some basic editing and some basic techniques. Some that work on PC, some that work on Mac, some that work on both. I'll be giving a top five list on the softwares and which one should you use and which one's interesting standard. The first one we're going to talk about today is iMovie. iMovie is an Apple based free software that comes with all Apple products. It comes with Macs, iPhones, iPads, etc. It's perfect to edit on the fly on your iPad or on your iPhone. You can edit with pictures. You can push images and videos from your phone to your iPad to your computer using iCloud. It all communicates very well together. It's a basic bit of software. It does everything you need to do. You can add title screens, transitions, music. You can add themes. You can create storyboards. You can do all sorts of stuff in iMovie. It's very easy to work around and it makes it very simple to edit films. The next one we're going to be looking at is Windows Movie Maker. Now, Windows Movie Maker is a PC application only, but with issues. Now, with Windows 10 coming out, Windows Movie Maker is no longer available for download for Windows 10. It only works on older versions of Windows. Now, instead, Microsoft have tried to implement the movie editing softwares in the Photo app. Now, a Photo app can be found in Windows 10, but by searching it in the taskbar at the bottom, Photos. In Photos, you can make and create videos and music. You can add text to it. You can add motions. You can add filters. You can do 3D effects. You can do all sorts of different editing techniques. I've tried to use it. It's a bit complicated to get your head around because it's just a Photo app. Basically, you can make PowerPoint slides and all sorts with it. So, I don't know if it works better with still images than film. So, it's one to try out. Obviously, it comes free with a Windows machine. So, it's something to try out at least as a free bit of software. The next one is Adobe Premiere Pro. Now, Premiere works on Mac and PC, but it comes at a cost. That cost being for all the applications, it's $49.94 per month, inclusive of VAT. Or, you can just buy the Premiere Pro package itself at $19.97 per month, inclusive of VAT. Now, if you were to do that, it's every month, a continuous subscription every month to use the software. So, you need to make sure that you're using it to the full potential. I tend to use it quite a lot during video editing if I'm doing a bit more of an advanced edit. Simple edits, I would just quickly smack them up in iMovie, but if I want to do something a bit more advanced with some proper transitions and timings and everything like that, I would use either Premiere Pro or Final Cut. Adobe Premiere Pro is one of the industry standard video editing softwares out there. It allows you to edit with various tracks. You can do layers, you can do cuts, you can do fades, you can do all sorts of transitions. It's basically a highest spec version of iMovie. You can put two screens, you can have one playing this video, you can have one doing your editing screen. You can do all sorts of stuff in Premiere, which you can do in iMovie, it's just a lot more advanced in Premiere. The next one we're going to go on to is Premiere Elements. It runs on Mac and on PC. Premiere Elements is very similar to Premiere Pro, it's just the cheaper version of Premiere Pro basically. Now, you can buy it as a one-off license instead of buying it on monthly installments. So, for the full license, it's £86.56 at the moment, including VAT. That is for one license, but again, it does exactly the same as what Premiere Pro do. It's just a cheaper full license. Premiere Elements struggles with certain formats. WMV files are supported, but yet Quicktime Player and AVCH files aren't when they are mostly to do with Apple. Now, this had may have been changed with the recent update, but they have been struggling with those certain softwares. Premiere Elements is more to facilitate uploading files to YouTube and Facebook, because it is easier and because it makes it more compressed. Premiere Elements is still pretty difficult to use for a basic bit of software. So, for beginners, it's pretty difficult to use. Now, it allows you to do pan and zoom tools with photo editing, but it's still a bit rough around the edges. So, if you were to use an Adobe package, I would recommend using Premiere Pro and not Adobe Elements. Our next bit of software is Final Cut Pro X. Final Cut Pro X is an Apple bit of software, and it is again industry standard. So, there's Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro X. So, depending on which one you want to purchase or which route you want to go down, either Mac or PC, obviously, Premiere works on both. Final Cut only works on Mac. Now, Final Cut is 299.99 for the full package, and this needs to be downloaded from the App Store, or you can get pre-installed on your machine once you purchase it from Apple. Premiere Final Cut does exactly the same as what Premiere Pro does. It's an industry standard bit of software. Just like Logic and Garage Band, Final Cut is iMovie's big sister. So, whatever you can do in iMovie, you can basically do in Final Cut, but a lot more advanced. So, if you want to do different cameras, you can input different camera shows. So, you can have about four or five different camera shots, and you can flick between them by cropping, or you can flick between them by cutting them up. You can jump between shows. Now, with iMovie, you can only layer one track in. So, you can see there's already a big step up in editing techniques in the arrange window. You can do all sorts of mixes well with Logic Pro X because they're both Apple products, so they mix really well together. So, if you are looking at going audio and video editing side, then I advise potentially Final Cut and Logic for audio as well. The next bit of software we're going to just have a quick chat about is Sony Vegas. It is Mac and Windows based. Now, Sony Vegas is used by quite a lot of YouTubers out there. It is £229 to buy the license. It does exactly the same as what Premiere Pro and Final Cut do, but it doesn't have the same reputation as what those two bits of software do. It has a reputation of it's somewhat crashing every so often, or freezing, or not handling large HD files. But it still works exactly the same, and the same layout as what it does on Premiere Pro is exactly the same. I've had two screens next to each other, one using Sony Vegas and one using Premiere Pro, and they both look exactly the same. You will realise once you start using the video editing software that they're all very similar, all very similar layouts, just like a DAW or video editing are exactly the same. So, once you get used to using one, they all work out to be the same. Obviously, keyboard shortcuts are all slightly different key commands, but Sony Vegas allows you to do stabilization, a flick between different camera scenes. It allows you to do motion tracking. It's very good at editing, but it's had its flaws, and like I said, the reputation is just not as good as Premiere Pro or Final Cut. And the final bit of software we're going to be talking about today is Filmora 9, or Filmora. Now, Filmora works on both Mac and on PC. It is not free, but you can download the trial version. But the only problem with the trial version, it has a little watermark. So if you're doing a bit of free editing for university or college, and you don't mind if there's a watermark on your work, then Filmora 9 works perfectly fine, especially with the free trial. But if you can get your hands on some free bit of software, if you've got an Apple product, for example, then iMovie is brilliant for that. Obviously, it comes at a cost. The cost is $69.99. So that's for the lifetime plan. That's the most popular plan out there. They obviously do business plans, individual plans and educational plans. Now, from using it a little bit of the free trial, obviously with the watermark issue, it works just like any other video editing software. It does all the motion tracking, it does motion blur, it changes all sorts of title pages and transitions, does everything you need to do. But again, if you don't want to pay for it, you've got that issue of a watermark. If possible, I would use iMovie for a free bit of editing. Now to go into the final stage of the video. I'm just going to rank all the softwares we've talked about today in order. Now I couldn't split up between Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro X, so I've marked them both as number one. They are both industry standard bit of software, so they both work the same and they both do every limitation you need them to do. I've put Sony Vegas as number two because it does exactly the same as Premiere Pro and Final Cut, but it's got the reputation of not being very good. I've marked iMovie as number three because it's simple and it's free and it comes with a lot of devices. I've marked Premiere Elements as number four because it just does more than five and six marks on our list here. I put Fillmore nine as number five because of it being the watermark. It is slightly free, but again, you do have to pay for the full package and I put MovieMaker slash photo app as number six because MovieMaker doesn't exist anymore and the photo app is a bit clunky to use. These are just my opinions obviously. If you feel they're ranked in a different order, now please leave a comment below. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to like the video if you enjoyed it and subscribe for more and also ding dong that notification bell to get further updates. Thanks again. Goodbye.

Welcome back to theCUBE conversation here. I'm John Furrier with theCUBE in Palo Alto, California. We've got two great guests here featuring Armory who has with them Patreon open source and talking open source and the enterprise. I'm your host, John Furrier with theCUBE. Thanks for watching guys. Thanks for coming on. Really appreciate it. We've got two great guests. Ben Mappen, SVP, strategic partner at Armory and Ian Delahorn, staff SRE at Patreon. Gentlemen, you know, open source and enterprises here and we want to talk about it. Thanks for coming on. Appreciate it. Yeah. Thank you, John. Really happy to be here. Thank you to theCUBE and your whole crew. I'll start with a quick intro. My name is Ben Mappen, one of Armory's founders lead strategic partnerships, as John mentioned. You know, it really starts with a premise that traditional businesses such as hotels, banks, car manufacturers are now acting and behaving much more like software companies than they did in the past. And so if you believe that that's true, what does it mean? It means that these businesses need to get great at delivering their software and specifically to the cloud like AWS. And that's exactly what Armory aims to do for our customers. We're based on open source Spinnaker, which is a continuous delivery platform. And I'm very happy that Ian from Patreon is here to talk about our journey together. Ian, introduce yourself, what you do at Patreon, what Patreon does and then why are you guys together here, what's the story? Absolutely. Hi, John and Ben, thanks for having me. So I am Ian, I am a site reliability engineer at Patreon. And Patreon is a membership platform for creators. And what our mission is to get creators paid, changing the way the art is valued so that creators can make money by having a membership relationship with fans. And we're built on top of AWS and we are using Spinnaker with Armory to deploy our applications that help creators get paid, basically. Talk about the original story, Ben.  Obviously Patreon is well known in the creator circles. Congratulations by the way of your success. You've done a great service for the industry and have changed the game. You were doing creators before it was fashionable. And also you got some cutting edge decentralization business models as well. So again, we'll come back to that in a minute. But Ben, talk about how this all comes together. Yeah, yeah. So Ian's got a great kind of origin story on our relationship together. I'll give him a lead in, which is what we've learned over the years from our large customers is that in order to get great at deploying software, it really comes down to three things or at least three things. The first being velocity. You have to ship your software with velocity. So if you're deploying your software once a quarter or even once a year, that does no good to your customers or to your business. Like just code sitting in a feature branch on a shelf more or less, not creating any business value. So you have to ship with speed. Second, you have to ship with reliability. So invariably, there will be bugs. There will be some outages, but one of the things that Armory provides with Spinnaker open sources, the ability to create hardened deployment pipelines so that you're testing the right things at the right times with the right folks involved to do reviews. And if there is, hopefully not, but if there is a problem in production, you're isolating that problem to a small group of users. And then we call this a progressive deployment or a canary deployment where you're deploying to a small number of users. You measure the results, make sure it's good, expand it and expand it. And so I think preventing outages is incredibly important. And then the last thing is being able to deploy multi-target, multi-cloud. And so in the AWS ecosystem, we're talking about EC2, ECS, EKS, Lambda. And so I think that these pieces of value are kind of the pain points that enterprises face can resonate with a lot of companies out there including E&N and PageGround. So I'll let you tell the story. Got it, Ian, go ahead. Absolutely, thanks for the intro, Ben. So background of our partnership with Armory is back in February of 2019, we had a payments slowdown for payments processing and we were risking not getting creators paid in time, which is not great for creators because they rely on us for income to be able to pay themselves, pay their rent and mortgage, but also pay staff because they have video editors, website admins, people of that nature work with them. And there are very many root causes to this incident, all kind of culminated at once. One of the things that we saw was that deploying fixes to remediate this took too long. We're taking at least 45 minutes to deploy a new version of the application. And so we've had continuous delivery before using a custom home-built rolling deploy. We needed to get that time down. We also needed to be secure in our knowledge of like that deploy was stable. So we had to place a break in the middle due to various factors that can happen during a deploy. Previously, I had used Spinnaker at previous employers. I had been set it up myself and introduced it. And I knew about it. I knew like, this is something we could utilize. This would be great, but the Patreon team, the Patreon SRE team at the time was two people. So I don't have the ability to manage Spinnaker on my own. It's a complex open source product. It can do a lot of things. There's a lot of knobs to tweak, a lot of various settings and stuff you need to know about. Tendentially, one of the co-founders of Armory had hit me up earlier. It's like, hey, have you heard of Armory? We're doing this thing, open source Spinnaker. We're packaging this and managing it. Check us out if you want. I kind of like filed away like, okay, well that might be something we can use later. And then like two weeks later, I was like, oh, wait this company that does Spinnaker. I know of them. We should probably have a conversation with them and engage with them. And so you hit them up and said, hey, too many knobs and buttons to push. What's the deal? Yeah, exactly. So I was like, hey, so by the way about that thing, how soon can you get someone over here? So Ben, take us through the progression because that really is how things work in the open source. Open source is really one of those things where a lot of community outreach, a lot of people are, you're really a one degree or two separation from someone who either wrote the project or is involved in the project. Here's a great example. He saw the need for Spinnaker. The business model was there for him to solve. Okay, fixes, rolling deployments, homegrown, all the things, pick your use case. But he wanted to make it easier. This tends to, this is kind of a pattern. What did you guys do? What's the next step? How did this go from here? Yeah, you know, Spinnaker being open source is critical to Armory's success. Many companies, not just Patreon, open source software I think is not really debatable anymore in terms of being applicable to enterprise companies. But the thing with selling open source software to large companies is that they need a backstop. They need not just enterprise support, but they need features and functionality that enable them to use that software at scale and safely. And so those are really the things that we focus on. And we use open source as a, really it's a great community to collaborate and to contribute fixes that other companies can use, other companies contribute fixes and functionality that we then use. But it's really a great place to get feedback and to find new customers that perhaps need that enhanced level of functionality and support. And I'm very, very happy that Patreon was one of those companies. Okay, so let's talk about the Patreon. Okay, obviously scaling is a big part of it. You're an SRE, Site Reliable Engineers with folks who don't know what that is. Your job is essentially managing scale. Some say you're the DevOps manager, but that's not really the right answer. What is the SRE role at Patreon? Share with folks out there who are either, have an SRE, they don't even know it yet or need to have SREs because this is a huge transition and new and emerging must have role in companies. Right, yeah, the SRE at Patreon covers a lot and cover a wide swath of things that we work with and areas that we consider to be our peer view. Not only are we working with our AWS environment, but we also are involved in how can we make the site more reliable or performant so that creators and fans have a good experience. So we work with our content delivery numbers for caching strategies, for caching assets. We work inside the application itself for doing performance. Performance enhancement is also improving observability with distributed tracing and metrics and a lot of that stuff, but also on the build and deploy side, if we can get that deploy time faster, give engineers faster feedback on features that they're working on or bug fixes and also being secure and knowing that the code they're working on gets delivered reliably. Yeah, I think I see I have to continue this delivery as always the killer workflow. I got to ask you guys both the Spinnaker question here. Well, how does Spinnaker being an open source project help you guys? I mean, obviously open source code is great. How has that been significant and beneficial for both Armory and Patreon? Yeah, I'll take the first stab at this one and it starts at the beginning. Spinnaker was created by Netflix and since Netflix open sourced it four or five years ago, there have been countless and significant contributions from many other companies, including Armory, including AWS. And those contributions collectively push the industry forward and allow the companies that use open source Spinnaker or Armory, they can now benefit from all of the collective effort together. So just that community aspect working together is huge, absolutely huge. And open source, I guess on the go-to-market side is a big driver for us. There's many, many companies using open source Spinnaker in production that are not our customers yet. And we survey them. We want to know how they're using open source Spinnaker so that we can then improve open source Spinnaker but also build features that are critical for large companies to run at scale, deploy at scale, deploy with velocity and with reliability. What's your take on the benefits of Spinnaker being open source? A lot of what Ben, it's been really beneficial to be able to like be able to go in and look at the source code for components. Everyone wondering something like, why is this thing working like this or how did they solve this? It's also been useful for I can go ask the community for advice on things. If Armory doesn't have the time or bandwidth to work on some things, I've been able to ask the special interest groups in the open source community, like can we help improve this or something like that? And I've also been able to commit simple bug fixes for features that I've needed as like, well, I don't need to go engage Armory on this. I can just like, I can just write up a simple patch and have that out for review. You know, that's the beautiful thing about open sources, you get the source code. And that's, and some people just think it's so easy, Ben, you know, just, hey, I just give me the open source, I'll code it, I got an unlimited resource team, not, not always the case. So I got to ask you guys on Patreon, why use a company like Armory if you have the open source code? And Armory, why did you build the business on the open source project like Spinnaker? Yeah, like I see, absolutely. Yeah, like I said earlier, the Patreon, the Patreon SRE team was, wasn't is fairly small. There's two people now, we're six people, our studio down, we're six people now. So being, sure we could run Spinnaker on our own if we wanted to, but then we'd have no time to do anything else basically. And that's not the best use of our creators money or fans, the fans paying the creators money since we obviously take a percentage on top of that. And we need to spend that money well. And having Armory who's dedicated to the Spinnaker is dedicated, involved the open source project, but also they're experts on this and they was something that would take me like a week of stumbling around trying to find documentation on how to set this thing up. They've done this like 15, 20 times and they can just go, oh yeah, this is what we do for this and let me go fix it for you.  I think that's where you're getting at. I got to ask you, what other things does that free you up? Because this is the classic business model of life. You know, you have a partner, you're moving fast, it slows you down to get into it. Sure you can do it yourself, but why it's faster to go together with a partner and a wingman as we will. What things does that free you up to work on as an SRE? Oh, that's freed me up to work on bigger parts of our build and deploy pipeline. It's freed me up to work on moving from EC2-based deploys onto containerization strategy. It's freed me up to work on more broader observability issues instead of just being laser focused on running and operating Spinnaker. Yeah, and that really kind of highlights, I'm glad you said that, because that highlights what's going on. You had a lot of speed and velocity, you got scale, you got security, and you got new challenges. You got to fix and move fast, it's a whole new world. So again, this is why I love cloud native, right? So you got open source, you got scale, and you guys, it's applying directly to the infrastructure of the business. So Ben, I got to ask you, Armory co-founder, why did you guys build your business on an open source project like Spinnaker? What was the mindset? How did you attack this? What did you guys do? Take us through that piece, because this is truly a great entrepreneurial story about open source. Yeah, yeah, I'll give you the abridged version, which is that my co-founders and I, we solved the same problem, which is CD at a previous company, but we did it kind of the old fashioned way. We hand-rolled it ourselves, we built it on top of Jenkins, and it was great for that company. But, and that was kind of the inspiration for us to then ask questions, hey, is this bigger? We went, at the time, we found that Spinnaker had just been, you know, dog fooded inside of Netflix, and they were open sourcing it. And we thought it was a great opportunity for us to partner. But the bigger reason is that Spinnaker is a platform that deploys to other platforms like AWS and Kubernetes. And the sheer amount of surface area that's required to build a great product is enormous. And I actually believe that the only way to be successful in this space is to be open source, to have a community of large companies and passionate developers that contribute the roads, if you will, to deploy into various targets. And so that's reason number one for it being open source and us wanting to build our business on top of open source. And then the second reason is because we focus almost exclusively on solving enterprise scale problems, we have a platform that needs to be extensible and open source is by definition extensible. So our customers, I mean, Ian just had a great example, right? Like he needed to fix something, he was able to do so, solve it in open source and then, you know, shortly thereafter that fix in mainline gets into the Armory official build and then he can consume his fix. So we see a lot of that from our other customers. And then even, you know, take a very, very large company, they may have custom auth that they need to integrate with like that doesn't, that's not in open source but they can go and build that themselves. Yeah, it really is the new modern way to develop.  And I got to ask you guys and this CUBE conversation is that this is kind of like the kind of the big waiver on now is cloud scale, open source, cloud native, data, security, all being built in the pipelines to your point as SREs enabling a new infrastructure and a new environment for people to build essentially SaaS. So I got to ask you guys as, and you mentioned it Ben, the old way you hand rolled something, Netflix, open source, something, you got to look at Lyft with Envoy. I mean, large scale companies are donating their stuff into open source and people are getting on top of it and building it. So the world's changed. So I got to ask you, what's the difference between standing up a SaaS application today versus say five to eight years ago, because we all see salesforce.com, you know, they built their own data center. Cloud scales change the dynamics of how software is being built and with open source accelerating every quarter you're seeing more growth in software. How has building a platform for applications changed? And how has that changed how people build SaaS applications? Ben, what's your take on this? It's kind of a thought exercise here. Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't even call it a thought exercise. We're seeing it firsthand from our customers. And then I'll give my answer, Ian, you can weigh in on like practical, like what you're actually doing at Patreon with SaaS, but the cost and the kind of entry fee, if you will, for building a SaaS application has tremendously dropped. You don't need to buy servers and put them inside data centers anymore. You just spin up a VM or a Kubernetes cluster with AWS. AWS has led the way in public cloud to make this incredibly easy. And the tool sets being built around cloud native like Armory and like many other companies in the space are making it even easier. So we're just seeing the proliferation of software being developed and hopefully, you know, Armory is playing a role in making it easier and better. So before we get to Ian for a second, I just wanted to just double down on this. This is a great conversation. That implies that there's going to be a new migration of apps everywhere, right? A tsunami of clutter. Good or bad, is that good or bad? Or is it all open source? Is it all good, Ben? Absolutely good. For sure there will be, you know, good stuff developed and not so good stuff developed, but survival of the fittest will hopefully promote those, the best apps with the highest value to the end user and society at large and push us all forward. Ian, what's your take? Obviously, Kubernetes, you're seeing things like observability, talking about how we're managing stateful and services that are being deployed and tear down in real time, automated. All new things are developing. How does building a true scalable SaaS application change today versus say five, eight years ago?  Then Firebase came on the scene and also for managing state and applications, stuff like that. And also for like being able to deliver code before you had Jenkins, maybe even for that, you don't really have anything. Jenkins came along and then now you have open source projects like Spinnaker that you can use to deliver and then you have companies built around that that you can just go and say, hey, can you please help us deliver this? Like you just help us enable us to be able to build our products so that we can focus on delivering value to our creators and fans instead of having to focus on other things. So it builds faster, you can compose stuff faster, you don't have to roll your own code, you can just roll your own modules basically and then proprietary on top of it. Absolutely. Yeah, and that's why commercial open source is booming. Guys, thank you so much, Ben. Congratulations on Armory. Ian, great to have you on from Patreon, well-known successful company, congratulations. We don't know Patreon, check it out. They have changed the game on creators and leading the industry. Ben, great job with Armory and Spinnaker. Thanks for coming on. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Okay, I'm John Furrier here with theCUBE Conversation in Palo Alto. Thanks for watching.


The internet has embraced the musical rhythm game trombone champ, and in this project we are too. You can build a 3D printed trombone controller that uses the QDPI RP2040 running circuit python. HID support in circuit python makes this project possible. Trombone champs controls require removing the mouse cursor up and down the screen for pitch and pressing any keyboard key or mouse click to toot. The mouse movements are sent with a neo slider slide potentiometer. The 3D printed trombone slide is mounted to the potentiometer so you can emulate a real trombone for the full brass section experience minus the spit valve. A light up arcade button takes care of sending spacebar commands to toot to your virtual brass instruments. Rhythm games are always fun, but custom controllers really add to the experience. To find out how you can build your own trombone, check out the learn guide at learn.adafruit.com.


Hi, my name is Andy Colborne. I'm the training manager here at Riedel. Welcome to the Riedel Academy to go a short video that will help you understand how to get a certain function working in your Riedel product. If you want to go a bit deeper and find out more about the technology that makes our systems work, then please do head over to the Riedel website and click on the Academy section. There we have all kinds of sessions from webinars to presentations, workshops, interactive online trainings. We also do in-person trainings. So thank you for watching this video and we really hope to see you soon. Thank you for watching the Riedel Director How-To Video Series. In this video, we will show you how to program the key function call to port. Before we program our key panels, let's talk about some situations where we want to use this function. The first case that comes to mind is point-to-point communication. This is a private conversation between two users on your intercom system. Let's pretend we are in a live show environment and your front of house audio engineer Jonathan needs to talk to your A2 Ryan about microphone placement for an upcoming presenter. He wants to have this discussion in private away from other party lines or conferences on his panel to be discreet. Using the call to port function, we can create discrete point-to-point communications for conversations that do not need to be broadcasted over party lines or conferences. We can also use the call to port function as a God mic or stage announce. This is a very common workflow in events and theater environments. This gives a stage manager, production manager or director the ability to address the crew over the loud speaker system with a push of a button on their panel. Let's take a look at these two different examples and how to program our panels accordingly. The first and more common method is the drag and drop method. This is where we'll select a panel to show up on the right side. Here we have Jonathan's panel and we'll go ahead and find Ryan's panel and drag and drop the port onto any open key of the panel. This will pull up both panels on the right side so we can program them simultaneously. We need to make sure we add a button to Ryan's panel so that Ryan can also talk back to Jonathan. You can also right click on any key, add function and call to port. This will pull up the properties where we need to select the destination. In director 8.0, we have duplex call options. The four options are duplex call. The cross point is set and deleted synchronously with the call. Isolate. This blocks all other calls to the destination port as long as this call is active when calling a control panel, the microphone at the destination will automatically be activated and the audio routed to the calling port. Isolate self blocks all other calls to the local port while this call is active and auto listen from destination. This activates the auto listen function for this call. The return path is activated automatically and stays open until it is deactivated by using the auto listen off command from either side of the call. Duplex call options eliminates the need for a user to click to respond and their microphone is already open and ready for communication. Let's look at the God Mike or stage announce example. If our director needs to address the crew over the loud speaker system, we select our audio output that we have designated to be our God Mike and we simply drag and drop the port onto the panel of our choosing. Now this call to port command is ready to go. And we have a God Mike on our director panel. Remember to edit your auto momentary or latching key options in the properties of the key. If you want to know more about those options, please watch our how to video on those key options. Thank you for watching these examples of the call to port functions. Feel free to share your workflow in the comments and remember to subscribe to read all communications to see more tutorials and new content in the future.

Hey Al, what's going on? Isn't it wonderful? This gentleman here with the gold report right before the market fell apart ended up with TAS. We have a 98% gain in the year and I mean you weren't 99% proof like I was with you, but we had a good game there. You always told us to do what we feel comfortable with and I thought we'd lose a little bit of money on the table. I will, but I know that I just pocketed eight or nine thousand dollars in two weeks. That's a beautiful thing man. Now Tom O'Brien. Welcome folks. This is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We've got five days a week. We go seven hours a day. We go 24 hours a day in the internet at TFNN.com. Always remember folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever you focus on grows up. Everyone's having a great day, safe day, making a great night folks. Always do your best, but don't overdo. When you overdo, you deplete your body and you go against yourself and it'll take longer to accomplish your goals. Knock it wise. Let's take a look at it out here. We have the now industrials up 67, Nasdaq up one, S&P's up three and a half. Gold contract up $6.60 traded in 2066 an ounce. We have Silver up 16 cents, $25.47 an ounce. Life's recruit up about an half. $77.91 a barrel, notes and bonds. A ten year note, trading up 12 ticks at 109.29, the 30 up a full point at 117.12 and King dollar. King dollar up 49 ticks, trading 102.795, Euros at 109, Yens at 147, British pound is trading at 127 to 1 US dollar. Our phone number's<PHONE_NUMBER>. Give us a call folks. I know it's going on in your world and the world of the S&Ps, let's take a look at them. What do you have? Well, bottom line, we still have that ABC structure that is in place with a 462 and we hit, out here today, let me get this baby, so you hit 458.32. Bottom line, my take is that we're still going to get it. Now let's go take a look at the futures because what we did, definitely had futures are up 30 points, gave it up in spades, come all the way back down. Let's go take a look at these volumes and see where we're sitting here. Okay, so I got the S&Ps up four bucks and what you're going to see, okay, so let's see. So we just came back down but you didn't get to the low. Yeah, this still, this, okay, so last 30 minutes ago, that was 34,000 contracts going into 38, going into, going into 54. Okay, we're going higher. So what you had here is this, let me open this up a little bit more. Right there, that was, yeah, 54,000 contracts on the S&P. Now this was right before 10 minutes, 20 minutes before the low.  So that's saying that now the top, not the very highs of today, but the last top of this range is gain, which is 45 or 45, 67, that'd be 45, 76. That's where that would be set up. NQs, let's do the same thing with the NQs because they both gave it up and I'll show you what, it was all about the move in the dollop. So we take a look at the NQs, do the same type of setup. Yeah, so the NQs, we had 70, no, 20, 27,000 versus 13,000. We just tested with 13,000 versus 27, that says that one's higher price also. We go into the note and bond market, we take a look at the note and bond market, we pull up the 10-year first. What you're going to see inside the 10-year, we're up another 12 ticks. Now we also, we're in the higher range now. Okay, we got in the higher range yesterday. You're at the 109, 29. So 114 is game. Now watch this. This is pretty cool here. I'm going to bring up the 10-year yield so that you can see the correlation. So this chart that you're looking at here, this is the exact, you can see at the high, this high was generated when the markets were actually closed, but the bond market was open, 5.01. We're at 4.27. Now the bottom of this range is 3.56. And where we are right now, this is what's so cool. So where we are right now, you can see right there, we're right into, you know, this, it'll take a little bit to get through here, you know, because you can see what has happened is that we traded here, let's see, 3, 6, 9, 12, we traded here about just less than a month, just less than a month. So we'll see how this gets into this area. But the way this is set up right now is that you get 3.7 on the agenda, 3.5 on the agenda actually, which is pretty, which is really amazing actually. That's basically over the top. Gold, gold contract. This contract wants $2,500, man. And it's going to be wild watching this whole thing shake out. So what we had here, I'm going to bring up the XAU and the HUI, because what we did yesterday is that you broke higher with conviction. I'm going to put the volumes up on it so you can see how this whole thing shook out. There we go. So what you can see is that you broke a consolidation that's going back four months and you broke it with volume. And that's how you want to break a consolidation. Wide price spread, accelerated volume, it has all the above, bottom line. You take a look at this. Let me put this actually on a weekly now. So look at this, man. Yeah, this is pretty cool. So on a weekly, what you can see here is that your next move in the XAU, we're at $123, you're talking about $141. We go to the Gold Bugs Index. We take a look at the Gold Bugs Index. It's going to be the same type of setup. We had the price and volume movement inside it. We get those volumes up for you and you're going to see it's the decisive break of the consolidation in spades too. Now the cool thing here is this. Look, watch this, folks. See the HUI? That HUI is stronger than the XAU. When the HUI is stronger than the XAU, what that is saying is that the actual Gold contract is going to keep accelerating. We take this back. We put it back three years, and what you're going to see, bottom line, we did the same break with conviction. And the HUI right now is a 241, and that's saying 294 is on the agenda. That's the next move up there. And then we get into the dollar. So if you get into the dollar and take a look at the dollar, what you're going to see here is that we started today, what was intriguing, we started the day with the dollar up. And even that being said, the futures still went up. Bottom line is that it gave it up a bit. As it gave it up, futures came back. Now the real question is, where are we going to go from this particular point?  We're right in the spot right now that we'll see whether they can make it. That's the bottom line. Meaning if the dollar will stay in the counter trend bounce, right now you're only up 52 ticks, which is nothing. Yeah. Stay right there, folks, who come right back. Our phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. We have the dial. Industrial is up 66. NASDAQ's down 4. S&P's up 2. Stay right there. Come right back, folks.

That industry is up 34, and Azix down 20, S&P's off 3, and the Fed-based book folks. That came out at 2 o'clock today, so let's just take a look at that. So US economic slowed in recent weeks as consumers pulled back on discretionary spending, the Federal Reserve said in the Bay's book survey of regional business context. Sales of discretionary items and durable goods like furniture and appliances declined on average as consumers showed more price sensitivity according to the report. Travel and tourism, however, is generally healthy. Let's see. Labor demand continued to ease with responders noting reductions in headcount through layoffs and nutrition, and most districts reported flat to modest increases in employment. Several districts, however, continued to describe labor markets as tight. The government's jobs numbers are going to be released late next week. The credit conditions. So credit conditions right now, you get where, of course, were highs on the interest rate market. No doubt about that. These are all quotes inside of folks. Consumer credit remained fairly healthy, but some banks noted a slight uptick in consumer delinquencies. While the economy expanded at the fastest pace in nearly two years, in the third quarter, the report points to broad-based cooling in recent weeks. Four districts reported modest growth, though the rest indicated stagnation or outright decline in activity. The economic outlook for the next six to 12 months also diminished. Inflation, meanwhile, largely moderated across the country according to the report. Pricing power varied with service providers finding it easier to pass through increases. Service providers find it easier to do a pass-through at prices versus manufacturing. Most districts expect moderate price increases to continue next year. So bottom line is that you have, basically, a slowing down. Now, the real question is, you have a slowing down, but guess what, folks? The GDP committed 5.2 percent today, so that if that's slow, that's pretty amazing, okay? That is one huge number. So we'll see how the rest of this is going to shake up, but that is one, I mean, that's 5.2 percent. Are you kidding me, man? I mean, that's just amazing. Let's get a coster in Boston. Coster, what's going on, brother? How are you doing, Tommy, this afternoon? I'm doing great, man, yourself? I'm doing fine by myself. Tommy, did you call it yesterday that gold is going for 2,500? Yes. Okay, that's the first question. Second question is, what effect will a cutting interest rate have on gold? Well, this is what's so wild. Now, this isn't a great question, folks, okay? So inside of the gold market, I mean, if you go back, I've been doing the gold report in our 22 years, and it's so wild because at the beginning of it, all they ever talked about is that with gold, you get no dividends, okay? So the interest rate structure is very important of how it goes, right? Then we'll fast forward 15, 20 years, and then, of course, we went to zero rate interest rate structure, right? And what's so cool there, coster, is this, it's hard to comprehend that gold actually got this high with a high interest rate structure. But guess what? That means there's more demand than supply, okay, just in general. So every time that we are going to see lower interest rates now, that brings the dollar down, that brings gold and commodities, all commodities up, because all commodities are priced in U.S. dollars. So, you know, my take is that because, number one, the contract itself didn't get destroyed when we were at, you know, a 5%-10 year, well, as we go down, that's why you're seeing basically gold get stronger and stronger. And that's how it looks that this thing is setting up. Okay, about Newmont Mining, where's this going to? So, Newmont, this is what happened with Newmont. Newmont mining folks, okay, bought Newcrest. Now, most times, you know, and Newcrest is, well, now Newcrest is Newmont, Newcrest is the largest gold miner in Australia. And Australia is a great district in order to be in the mining business number one, and there's a huge amount of gold there. That being said, the market looked at Newmont and says, hey, man, you paid way too much money for it. And that's why we saw Newmont basically get smoked. I mean, Newmont, you know, went down in a dramatic way. Now, that being said, when I say down in a dramatic way, you're talking about, you know, going from 74 to all those down to what, 34? 33. Now, my take is that we're off the lows.  And what happens here is this, this is what's so cool about the gold market, folks, okay, is that, you know, we got the sign of strength, and that's what Newmont needed. And one of the main, so that's technically, fundamentally what ends up happening is this, is that when the price of gold accelerates like we have, okay, that the amount of ounces that these large production companies do, it makes a huge difference to the bottom line. You know, like Newmont, bottom line this year is going to do $15.4 billion in business. You know, and that's, that's, that's saying that, you know, they also, that's what Newcrest numbers in Acosta, okay. So what ends up happening is that when you do have gold that is running like it is, well, all these equities are going to run. And in this particular case, in Newmont's case, I mean, they're going to take millions of ounces out of gold, gold out of the marketplace. So it's going to, it is the price of gold itself, the physical price of gold that basically saves all these companies, including Newmont. So now what you'll have happening is that all of a sudden the buyout of Newcrest is going to look really good because the price of gold is so high, you know.  That's the real ball. That's, that's, that's how it seems. Yeah. I'm looking to buy it actually. Okay. So if you're looking to buy it, you could buy it here and you put a stop right under that. I wouldn't give this, you don't have to give this a lot. I would put, I'd put the stop under the lows of yesterday, you know, because if it breaks that then it's like, okay, man, you're going to get down. You don't have to go to the low, but put it, put the stop some way that you're comfortable that you can get some volatility inside of the costa. You know what I'm saying? Maybe that's, yeah. You know what? I'd put it right under the lows of yesterday. For right now I put under the lows of yesterday because see Newmont hasn't broken that consolidation yet, but it's coming up to us. And the gold stocks that we own, what I did out here the last couple of days, I put the stops underneath the consolidation. Because if you get back inside the consolidation and the consolidation in Newmont starts at the top of it is we're 40, 41, that's going to be 40, we're right at 41.39. You know what I mean? So for right now I just put it underneath there, then you break the consolidation, we break the consolidation. If you break the consolidation, you want to see it be broken with conviction, that's wide price spread, accelerated volume, then you can move your stop up and put it right there, man. Okay, sorry. Thank you. Okay, man. Have a great one. Have a safe one. Stay right there, folks who come right back.

So let's go through this for a second. You've heard me forever out here talking about the ABC structure up. Now, I go with ABC structures on the way up or the way down, but that's what you get to understand first, and in particular when you have more than one of them, okay? So what we had out here in the spy is this, okay? You took out the B point, you took it out with volume, then you got another acceleration with price and volume, and the A to B equals C to D is 462, and we hit the 458, okay? That's the first part. Now the second part gets intriguing because of a failure on price and volume. What was happening here out here today is that you just may take out this other swing point with volume and have another ABC structure up. And I know the market's down, but that's what's happening with price and volume right now. The spy is trying to take out this 459, that's where it's at. And it makes sense that it's going to mess around here. Why? Because that's when the bears, the bulls, of course, are going to get nervous because it's been such a run. The bears are going to get like, hey man, this is such a run, bottom line, we should get a pullback, okay? My take is that this is going to commit to fruition. And this, so that's the first part of the spy. Now let's go to the cues, because what has happened here, this market is in harmony for higher price. We go to the cues, we take a look at the cues. Well, the cues are in an ABC structure up to 40168, and thus far we've only hit 394. What the cues have done, the cues took out the B point, took it out with volume, took out the whole, the cues took out the whole consolidation, and it took it out with volume, okay? You can push right into it, you can see that. Now what's also happening is that the cues very well can have another ABC structure up. It's going to be close with the cues, not, not so much with the spy. The spy looks like it's going to do it. The cues, you know, so my take is that, yeah, 460, 40168 is game. Now we pull this back, let's pull this back, take a look at this. So when we take a look at that, what is that high out here? That high is 408, the all-time high is 408. Now what we're going to have, and this is where this is going to get really intriguing, maybe you already did this. This is going to be freaking great if we did. No, we didn't. Okay, three, no, three, yeah, we did. Okay, here, now check this out. Oh my God, wait till you hear this. Telling you, man, if you're shot, you're going to be careful here. Watch this. This is going to be another ABC up. On a weekly, you need 975 million, and we already have 911. This is unbelievable. Okay, check it out, man. Watch this. This is another much larger ABC up. And we already took the volume. We're going to take it out. I mean, today's only Wednesday. And we need 975 million, and we have 913 million right now. And you already took the price out. So this is a much larger ABC structure up inside the queues. Let me see if this is in the spy too. Because this is going to be crazy, man. Put this on a weekly for a second. Okay. No, the spy doesn't have it. The queues do, though. And the queues lead, man. Okay, so now we did this spy, we did the queues. Now, what are you going to do? Well, you have to go to the note and bond market. Because the note and bond market are running everything here. We take a look at the note and bond market.  The bottom line is that you're up another 14 ticks, okay? You're in the higher range. We're at 109.31. Well, guess what? 114's game. And 114 is going to get you, yeah, 114 is going to get you a 3.57. Let me just do this again so you can see this. Because this is hard to comprehend.  I'll do the reverse so you can see this. Come on. There it is. Okay. So at 4.269, and you're going to see right down there, that's where we're going, is 3.56. You go to 3.56, folks. This market is going to the moon as is gold. And then we go to the US dollar.  That was, we said a little bit earlier, which would make sense because right in here, you don't have much. But you get, well, yeah, this, actually, I suspect this dollar will fall apart pretty soon because, again, because there's hardly any support at this level. You're talking about like five days, 10 days, you get five days going all the way back to June, and you get about five days in the middle of July and August. So the answer to your question, you know, my take is that we're going to finish off the ABC structure first and then we see where it goes. Now, the queues, this is a big deal, man. If those queues get that volume, well, we already know in the weekly, it's going to get the volume in the weekly, and you're coming into window dressing. So you start setting that up. That tells me, listen, higher prices are coming at us, and that is the most deviant thing you can do. And you know what's so intriguing, actually, that even when you look at all the polls and, you know, as the people think that, you know, things aren't that great, well, things aren't that great, and you get a 5.2 GDP, I'm not quite sure when folks think things will be great. So there's a disconnect in between the aspect of actually where the economy actually is fundamentally and what people think. But you know how that works, most times how that works, folks, is that I'm okay, but my, you know, all these other people aren't okay. Who knows, you know, but the bottom line is that we put this all together. That's telling me higher prices are coming at us in a monster way, because if you go to 3.5 and just say, wrap this around here, well, let's go look at a couple of houses, how home builders, because you go to 3.5, we're going to be at 5.5% mortgage again. And you can see Toll Brothers is hanging up there, 86 dollars, pull this up. Yeah, you're at highs. Yeah. The housing market's saying it right here. You know, once you get the wind behind your back, what's going to happen here, in fact, look at this, this is going to be another ABC up. Is that a week? Yeah. Oh, this is a monthly. No, it's not going to happen on a monthly. No, it's not going to happen. But bottom line here, that's Toll Brothers. We take a look at when you get your wind at the back, you know, inside housing to get it, because then there's so much same thing when I was at highs. There's so much that goes into it, meaning jobs, meaning the amount of stuff that's bought, meaning the high end appliance, well, not even high end appliances to all appliances in general, huge amount. And once the market understands that the winds at your back, see, the market is understanding now that the wind is at the back inside the note and bond market as housing, you know, the bottom line is when you do these numbers, man, you do those numbers, do it, you know, just do the math on a $500,000 mortgage. It's incredible, you know, what one point gets you over the course of 30 years. I mean, it's huge. That's absolutely huge.

This program is brought to you by Vistagold, traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Welcome back folks. Let's take a look at this. If we go take a look at FNV folks, we were talking about this. This is Frank Donovada. Frank Donovada right now is down $4 in $0.68 trade in $1.1351. Now this is an all-time low for the year and what this is, this is all about a royalty that they get out of a Panama mine. Now this Panama mine is not just a regular mine. That's a major mine. It's a major copper mine. That's the real bottom line. What has happened is that the Panama Supreme Court said that the bottom line is that the contract is illegal. We'll see whether someone else is going to get the contract, how this is going to shake up. Let me show you something here. The news deal, the closing of a major mine in Panama is threatened to upend the global copper market by whipsawing the industry back into a period of tighter supply. Until recently, the broad consensus among forecasters with the copper would enjoy a comfortable surplus for the next few years. That being said, the bottom line is that they thought there's going to be a surplus of particularly 467,000 tons and now that is going to change that because that is one of the world's largest copper mines. Now let's go take a look at the copper contract because HG, when you're going to see copper, looks like it's going to break top side here because just as the bonds, when I was showing you the bonds a couple days ago, is that what you're going to see? Now copper is down 65 cents right now. We're trading free 83. We bring this back and you put this up. Look at this. You are pushing the swing and you're pushing that swing with monster volume folks. The way that sets up is that more than likely you're going to break top side man and you can see when the setup is there, you can see technically and fundamentally how this could happen. Now my take is that what you're also going to see is that you're going to see the aspect of that's not going to stay close forever because the bottom line is that the amount of money that it makes for paying tomorrow is actually huge. Let's go to Rich in Oregon. Hey Rich, what's going on? Everything's great. Couldn't be better Tom. Cool man. Nice to hear from you. So what are we going to look at today? Kinross Gold. I realized that in the past it was a dog and rightly so because they had mines and money tied up in Russia and I believe they've extricated themselves. That's a good one. You're taking a hard action now. No they have. It looks to me like you got, I just pulled this up so you get the, they take in four billion, 1.3 out of the United States, one billion's out of Brazil, another billion is out of Mediterranean somewhere and then Chile. Yeah, Russia's gone. Okay, so let's take a look at this baby. So the low for the year is $3.40. The high's $5.90. Oh yeah, this is fine. Do you own this right now? Yes. Nice. Okay, so does it look like it maybe has a chance to participate with some of the other gold miners? Oh yeah, no, this is trading five bucks and wants to go to ten bucks, man. Yeah, this is a good setup. Yeah, look at this. So the same type of setup folks, okay, that you're going to see when I'm talking about pushing with volume. So see last month, last month we pushed with volume into the swings, okay, with extraordinary volume. I mean, the bottom line is that you've done the $298 million and you were pushing into $269 million and then you broke. Yeah, I mean this, you know, just take your time with this but actually one second, oh, it's an ABC up too. Yeah, it's an ABC up. So you get $5.50, $3.75. So what, is it $3.70? Yeah, so $0.70 gets you $6 bucks. So you get an ABC, well, you almost hit it. You get an ABC up to $6 for first off, Rich. But you know, I think you get a game like the $10 and 30 cents here, man. You get action. You definitely get action. Okay, that's what I was thinking I was seeing. Nice. Nice. It's nice. It's nice when these things move, isn't it, Rich? Well, like I said, it came out of the dust. Yeah. You know, it was in the wrong place at the wrong time. No, there's no doubt about that. But guess what, things change, you know, so pretty cool. Okay, man. Well, listen, you have a great one, a safe one. All right. And what you're hearing, folks, okay, when, you know, and I just said, the Rich isn't nice, so when, us folks that have been, you know, buying and selling in the gold market for a long period of time, we know how this kind of goes. Meaning when they start going, they go like an extraordinary way. And you, this is when you don't want to sleep. Let's put it this way. I'm only facetious in that, but you don't want to sleep. But you do want to do the work because there's not a lot of gold equities number one. When they move, they move fast and furious. And then you got to basically start programming yourself not to get greedy. That's how this thing shakes out. Now my take is we're only at the beginning of this deal. And you're going to see a lot higher prices. That being said, what you absolutely want to be aware of is that like if, yeah, I'll show you, my take will go like this, that we get a lot of great equities inside the gold report right now. And I suspect what's going to happen is this. We're going to, we're going to reach much higher prices. And I suspect the dollar's going to get down to this, you know, 99, 570 level. That is going to be the sell. That gets down there. The 10-year gets down to 3.7. There'll be 8 million calls coming in here about gold and we'll sell. And then there'll be some kind of retracement. That's how it normally shakes out, folks. Now what the difference is in gold and the broad market is this. Now this is what's really cool. The number that I've given you of that 2550 is only a one-to-one ABC structure up. Most times gold always loves to do a one-to-one point 382 or a one-to-one point 50. That's how it goes on the way up and that's how it goes on the way down. When we hit the highs of 2011, that's why we scored beyond belief on that one, that was a one-to-one point 618 ABC structure on the way up. That's a total change in market trend and sure enough it only took two or three days and that's exactly what happens. You want to be aware of this when you're inside a cyclical market. Gold is not like buying Apple or buying Boeing or buying Microsoft. It's always going to go up and down. There's not going to be a one-way shot and gold just goes to the moon. That's not how commodities work, folks. Commodities are based on the aspect of supply and demand. So what ends up happening in the mining business is that, you know, when you're 2065, there's certain mines that, yeah, you're going to dig, dig, dig. At 2500, there's more mines. If it ever goes to 30,000, we'll all be digging in our back yard, okay?  Are you ready to take your trading to the next level?

Dow is up eight, Nasdaq's down 26, S&P's are up four. Let's go into the silver market. Folks, if you haven't test-driven or got the gold report yet, great time to do it. Get over to our website at TFNN. You're going to see it right under Featured Content. You can test drive that. You like it? Great. You can keep it. If it doesn't work for you, 28 days, just cancel it. And guess what? Bottom line, you get the money back, plus you'll get four great newsletters. We're going to take a look at the silver market. You can see this number here, 65,000. That's big numbers inside the silver market, folks, for volume. Let me pull this back. So as you're going higher here, inside the silver market, the actual volumes are going up. And that's what you want to see, particularly we're going against swing points. So if I do the SLV and we take a look at the SLV, because that's going to have volumes right on it, we put this on a weekly. Okay, so it's coming up to the top of its range. The top of the range is how the SLV is going to be. Right now, you're trading at the 2290. It's $2390. It's another dollar. And we actually look at this. This is saying that we actually need more volume. Let me put this on a monthly, one second. There we go. Okay, so now I get it on a monthly. Yeah, you're going to need more volume. The swing highs here, that's 408 million versus 335. So we're not at the high. The good news is in the silver market, you're not at the highs. And we'll start off December. You start off December right underneath this. And so this is kind of intriguing, actually, because you can make the case with silver. Look at this. Silver is right at the trend line to break the downtrend. It hasn't broken yet, really. Actually, you know, not an odd to go to this high of $30 in silver and $28 in the SLV. You can see it's just laying right there. Always remember, folks, the bank and Chloe hide out the book and run you over. And thank God there's always another trade. Health app is in prosperity. Have a great night, folks. Have a safe night. Come back and visit Tommy tomorrow morning. Kicks us off 9am. Great show, folks. I'll get them, folks.


I'll just make sure you guys are having your life check as the most outer wear. It's important that we just get the dry reps on land so that we know that we can do it right once we hit the water. We don't want to waste the valuable training time in the water. We're trying to get everything right on land so that the first time we hit the water we do it right immediately. The whole idea of the crawl walk run is take it slow on land. We learn all of the basic functions where everyone needs to be and then we do that slick first and then we do it with a little bit more gear and then we do it while we're in water. We were practicing the evacuations in nice still water where it's a lot easier to do and then getting out of the trash and swimming roughly 25 to 50 meters within the water so still a pretty easy swim just to an evacuation boat or to another track. And again we did that 500 meter surf qualification giving the Marines a little bit more confidence and getting them out in that deeper water where we'll actually be operating with the tracks when we're moving from sea to land. The Marine Corps is obviously amphibious by nature and it's what we're meant to be doing is moving from ships to the land and so it's just nice to see that we're getting back to those routes. We went out about 500 meters and we did a swim to shore. The only leading event was a shore to shore with the Amtrak so we went out, rode up the coastline, went to a combat town and we rated it.
