The Nazca Lines are undoubtedly one of Earth's most perplexing ancient relics. Not only are they unimaginably big, but their accuracy still baffles all who try to explain them even to this day. With many of these ancient drawings seemingly only visible or indeed fully appreciated from great altitude, many people over the centuries have predictably pondered upon the possibility of their having once been ancient flying machines. And although many of these ancient marks could be perceived as possibly past runways or landing sites, there exists one site in particular that possesses some of the most compelling if little shared characteristics of them all. Known as El Fuerte, it can be found amongst a pre-Columbian archaeological site in Bolivia. It is believed that for over a thousand years, the site served as a ceremonial center for various pre-Columbian cultures, ultimately becoming the home of the Inca, who turned the site into the east capital of their empire. We have often stated that we strongly believe that at some point within Earth's distant history, a highly advanced intercontinental civilization once flourished, building enormous stone structures. With knowledge and capabilities in stone carving and building, we the modern man are yet to unravel. And although the site consists of an average ancient settlement, complete with buildings, architecture, and irrigation ruins, the most intriguing feature of the site and the purpose for the video is what was once carved out of the solid rock atop the mountain. Along the crest of the hill is the most intriguing feature of the site, or possibly Nazca itself, known as the El Cascabel, which can be translated as the Rattle. It is two parallel lines, oriented to the eastern sky, with a position of azimuth at 71 degrees and an altitude of about 6.75 degrees. Interestingly, this is the exact orientation of the rise of Pleiades at different times within history. Why was this curious carving etched into the top of this mountainside within Bolivia? Was this ancient site once used as a launching pad? Furthermore, intriguingly, much of the surrounding stone seems to have experienced ancient quarrying. Was this ancient mountain the site of an ancient quarry once done by a group who had flying Veminas at their disposal? An incredible site which we find highly compelling. Dr. Alexander Kultepin, a geologist and director of the Natural Science Research Center at Moscow's International Independent University of Ecology and Geology, has been successfully investigating some very controversial finds throughout the world. Between the earth are areas of ancient petrified ground that has remained untouched for millions of years. Once soft mud, these areas transformed into stone over many millions of years. What is amazing about these areas is the evidence of tire tracks embedded upon the stone. Many have speculated that they are in fact tank tracks or tracks of far larger vehicles than cars. What Dr. Alexander Kultepin has discovered is that these tracks made by an unknown vehicle cross geological faults confirmed as being created in the middle and late Miocene period some 12 to 14 million years ago, proving they are older than these natural faults. Just what sort of all-terrain vehicles could have been traversing the landscapes of earth some 15 million years ago? The petrified tracks have been found in numerous areas within Turkey and Spain and even further afield. Tired wheel ruts have been found in Malta, Italy, Kazakhstan, France, and even in North America. One of the major clusters is in Sulfka, Turkey, with tracks covering an area of about 45 miles by 10 miles. Another is in Cappadocia, Turkey, where there are several pockets, one of the biggest being about 25 miles by 15 miles. Some of the tracks are similar in length to modern cars, with tires about 9 inches wide. Dr. Alexander Kultepin said geological and archaeological works that contain information about these ruts are few and far between, especially in English. Kultepin maintains, after heavy research, that the tracks could not possibly have been left by lightweight carts or chariots, as the vehicles that left these tracks would have been much heavier than carts pulled by camels. They left far too deep of an impression on the earth. He has conducted many field studies in various locations and reviewed published studies on the local geology extensively. He hypothesizes that a network of roads once spread through much of the Mediterranean and beyond some 12 million years ago. These thorough ways would have been used by people who built the underground cities, like that at Cappadocia, Turkey, which he theorizes are also much older than mainstream archaeology holds them as today.

Okay, just rolling up to 2pm UK British summertime. If you can hear me and you can see my other tick mill welcome screen if you just type of why in the chat box so that I know we are good to go a why in the chat box if you can hear me and you can see the welcome screen and we will get going. Testing audio one, two, three, if you can hear me and you can see the welcome screen if you type of why into the chat box please. Okay, let's get started here. Welcome to today's live trade analysis and market analysis session with me, Catherine, before we jump into today's content. I want to very important with specific reference to today's presentation, the views expressed by me are solely mine they're not indicative of or representative of those held by Tick Mill UK or Tick Mill Europe limited. Thank you for the first time brief introduction to myself. Like I said my name is Patrick Manly and after I graduated from King's College London. I joined the city PLC consulting firm, I left with some colleagues who went on to successfully co found an exit consulting startup that was focused on C suite executive search for technology essentially I had a front row seat to the dot com bubble witnessing people make and lose fortune in the markets, oftentimes quite literally overnight so in 2000 or late 2004 I decided to explore my curiosity for markets with some capital play with and some time in my hands. I started day trading S&P 500 or probably more appropriately day gambling the S&P 500 after some early beginners luck I racked up some pretty solid gains, however, as is often the case, my beginners luck ran out, and as the market phase got average down into losing positions giving back all my gains and ultimately experiencing a significant six figure hit to my personal capital. Say this was a gut wrenching and sobering experience is an understatement. I really had to stand back and figure out if it's feasible for me to make a living from the market so I decided to get serious about trading and sought out a mentor with an excellent trading track record, working with my mentor for a period of 18 months to two years it was a time that worked, not just my technical game in terms of researching developing extensively back and forward testing strategies that crucially suited my personality, all of which were underpinned by a rigorous risk management approach. But most importantly during the period of mentorship I significantly developed my mental game, and probably most importantly I made the watershed shift from being a highly goal oriented individual who was focused on financial gains to becoming purely process oriented. What does that mean? Well, it means I had to stop focusing on what I could make from the markets and start focusing solely on managing my mindset to allow me to consistently execute my trading strategy oftentimes in the face of negative feedback from the markets in the form of losing trades. But once you become process orientated and have a professional trading mindset, and you really understand the true nature of trading being a numbers game in which you're simply playing the probabilities. So I'm no longer concerned with the outcome of individual trades or even a small string of trades, my focus is on the next 100 trades because I know if I focus on excellence in execution, my edge will demonstrate itself over an extended series of outcomes. My multi strategy approach has delivered profitable annual return since 2008 since 2013. I've also been managing investor capital through a managed account service delivering annual positive returns. I'm currently responsible for managing a multimillion dollar portfolio. Since 2010 I've also mentored hundreds of private traders of all experience levels from complete novices to former CME floor traders in developing the technical and mental skills to make consistent returns from the markets. In addition to my fund management and mentoring, I'm engaged in other market orientated projects. I am a resident market expert for Tick Mill. Exclusively providing market and trade analysis. I've provided an in depth daily market outlook, breaking down the fundamental and technical drivers for the day ahead. I provide daily technical trade setups and you can access those through the Tick Mill Ideas tab here through Trading View. I'll drop that into the chat there so you can follow up and take a look at that. And most recently I have been responsible for growing the Tick Mill E-mini strategy group where I provide a daily specific trade plan with intraday trade updates. And since its inception in April of this year I've delivered over 1200 points of upside. We've just recently now launched the Telegram channel for those traders who have a futures trading account with Tick Mill. And in there I provide daily institutional insights from tier one investment banks. I also provide trade alerts for a variety of futures products and we also do a daily hour long live stream session where I trade live the S&P 500 during the opening hour of the cash session 230 to 330 UK time. So if those are interested you might want to follow up through the website or you can drop me a message. I'll post my email. I'll also just post this into the, this is the free Facebook group that you can access as well and you can get my daily trade plan through there just send a membership request and I'll add you into the group about 175 members in there now. And I post the daily trade plan for traders to follow up with it say it's a video normally about three to five minutes long, but just gives you the key levels that I'm looking to participate at for the cash session day ahead. So that gives you a flavor of where I'm coming from. Now let's jump into the charts and we are going to review the daily charts here for a bunch of charts that I want to run through. Can I just say, in terms of process, if if you do have any questions, if you could just make a note of them and and I'll open up a cute brief Q&A at the end. If there are any charts you want me to take a look at I don't cover can do so then. If you have any questions and I'll come back to those at the end. So let's start with the S&P 500. This is actually the E-mini S&P, the futures contracts, but same price patterns. What I'm looking for with the S&P now is looking for a move to basically create, sorry, to finalize a five wave sequence here. Ideally, and this is just a little bit of market dynamic here. We're heading into the Fed meeting next week, the FMC on the 3rd of November. And there, the market is pricing basically that they are going to announce tapering then. So ideally what I'd like to see is the market to move up into that announcement and then we get a correction that will provide a pullback that will set up then a year, a rally into the seasonal year end rally. So what we're looking for at the moment. This is this current structure. So we're thinking about this as a five wave sequence here. So we have that's our one, two. So we're looking for a three, four and a five to complete. And then we will be looking for a pullback before we set up for the next leg to the upside in terms of the S&P. So in terms of the trading situation at the moment, what I'm looking for, if we're using this is our current three, four consolidation. So the minimum upside objectives that we would have here will be a one to seven extension of that consolidation zone. So what we're looking for is any pullbacks at the moment to to find support for this fifth wave extension into the 4633 level. So there we're watching for some momentum divergence to develop to give us an opportunity to to basically fade that test for the pullback, bigger corrective pullback, and then we should get that year end extension to the upside. So the imminent target we're looking for is 4633. And we're looking for opportunities to buy into that target zone. We're currently trading at 4558 so got about 70 points of upside to play for. And with the tick Millie mini group of the updating opportunities in real time today for that but that's the structure that we're looking at. So that trade still running and ultimately now we were long through the break about that pin bar reversal there. And it's running up nicely what we're looking for now is potential for a pullback here versus a double top scenario. So I'll be specifically looking for let me just move that what we want to see is an equal legs. So the area where we've been looking to re engage on the long side will be any pullbacks into the 15300 area will be should be bought there. And we should trade up into the ascending trend line resistance that comes in. So around the 16200 level is the is the upside objective there in terms of in terms of the current structure. Now again, if we think about the idea that I just referenced in terms of these fed meeting next week and likely that the market sees a bit of a pullback. It could be that we we have this pattern player. So if we think five equals one. So we could get a pull trade up into this 15900 and then we correct again into the trend channel support area. So this would be seeing the same correction in terms of most of the indexes and then we extend up into your end. So it's really going to be key to see how the market trades. Well, firstly it's going to be key to see if the Fed actually announced paper and what it seems to be pretty fully priced at the moment, and then it's going to be about the scale and scope of that and so that's going to really define whether or not we just run this up for the root. So we go into the top side, or we get the correction next, or we get a correction developed next week, and then we, we should see a tradeable load developer will be updating that as we go. The Dow is coming into it's ascending trend line resistance so I'm looking for a pullback in the Dow to this trend line support area. I'm looking for 34,000, 34,960 ish zone to watch a bullish reversal patterns to engage that on the long side. And again, with this with the situation with the Fed next week, it might be that we get a deeper pullback so you know we could be trading back down into this support before then taking off once again to the upside, as we as the market digest the Fed tapering in real time so they're paying close attention to these these key levels in the in the Dow. So we're going to watch for this trend line test and a fourth wave pullback and then a fifth wave and then we'll see how we have a price action developed but for now, this was this trend channel remains intact focuses on the upside and we want to be looking at long positions. Russell this is a trade that I'm watching very closely for a year and rally in the Russell pullbacks now into this high volume node and this pitchfork support area so we've got 20 to 28 so anywhere 20 anywhere in that zone, I'm going to be watching for bullish reversal patterns for long positions to target a minimum 2441 on the upside and that minimum is the 127 extension of our way for consolidation here. So that is that's certainly one that's on the radar for the coming sessions DAX still running long positions here and pullbacks now should find support into the 15500 area. And ultimately we're looking for this to grind it out to the upside and get a test of the ascending trend line resistance into year and 17200 zone is is the upside objective. No clear trade at the moment in the Nikkei, I think we probably have to test this trend line again, before we can think about retesting the prior cycle highs in the Nikkei dollar index. So, with this dollar now, I'm looking for any pullbacks to any pullbacks into into this trend line support comes in at the 93 handle to get bullish reversal pattern from there to set long positions looking for a 96 or late 95 tests, and then that should set up so the pullback should come ideally will come into into next week and then we get the tape renouncement get that by signal. And then that except once we get that extension I think that should see the market court of side and we'd be trading into the 50% of the tradesman here. It comes in just above at 9650 so I'm watching for an opportunity to get along the dollar to play for a by the rumor, and then sell the fact type set up in the dollar index once we if we ideally get that tapering answer next week so any break line, it's internal trend channel or a test of the trend line here, it's going to be an opportunity on the long side play for that 90 late 95 only 96 tests. Gold. This one yesterday we held this high volume node in gold, and we are running higher now that was posted into the trade, the trade ideas on the trading the account so what I'm watching for now with gold ultimately is move up to test this major ascending trend line resistance coming in at 1832. From there, we have pulled back and get a proper rejection and get back down into the ascending trend line support area. What we also want to what I also want to note here is that we still have the potential for gold to play out this corrective pattern. Which would actually have us down trading in the 1500 level, whilst we hold this resistance but for now the focus looks to be on the outside, and if we can see how price responds when we get that test of the trend line if we break through to get a clear break about on on a closing basis then I think I mean certainly want to think about gold retesting the 1919 handle. We've also got the idea that equal legs here. There it focused on will be that 1877 so but then through there we look for 1919. It's really in the key to see how we respond at this 1830 is, is the level to pay attention to coming sessions crude oil. Getting pulled back here in crude and I what I want to see is this trend line get tested. The bullish reversal patterns to get long cruise and then I'm targeting the ascending trend line resistance coming at 93 60 and then from there I think we have a more sustained correction in crude oil but certainly whilst we pull back and test this trend line support get a bullish reversal pattern. We are going to be looking to buy crude for a move up into that 93 30 area. Bitcoin, looking for a three way corrective move now in Bitcoin to test and hold 50,000 56,700 and then from there we are going to be targeting that 75,000 test, which, which I've been talking about. So, looking for a three wave move here back into the 56,000 level, but a high volume node there as well to get long Bitcoin which bullish reversal patterns there. And ultimately, we look for a move up to 75,000. The alternative scenario here, and I'm just going to blow this up a bit is bringing a trend line here. So if we close through the trend, this interim trend channel may be the may suggest that the correction has actually completed here in three waves so it's done the minimum technical requirement of getting that three wave corrective move so we get a close back through this time resistance. Let's get this. So let's see if we get through close through 62,000 may be sufficient to have completed the correction, and then we just look for the extension up into our target zone. But ideally what I'd like to see is a more pronounced three wave corrective move to get into this support zone. So I'm going to be keeping an eye on Bitcoin. I'm going to update that in the, in the trading view over the coming sessions because I think there's opportunities developing there near to Bitcoin. We've also got ether here. Similar idea really I'm looking for a three wave correction, but this high volume nodes and the projected pitchfork support coming in 3441. So pull back into that area, I think are attractive on on the long side. But again, the alternative scenario here is now we take we've got a, let me just move that and bring this in a little triangle here, developing. So a close through the triangle resistance would actually suggest that this correction is done for now. And then what we'd be thinking about is another test of so we take out the highs and we can start to look at the 127 extension and the midpoint of the channel so 5124 on the upside. So couple of scenarios here rather get a close through that trend line resistance is coming in 4303 at the moment. If we do get that close, then I think it's going to be a grinding a case of grinding out to the upside and looking for that 5124. So, or we hold the trend line resistance and ideally going to move into that high volume node before taking off to the outside couple of opportunities there developing and like I say, I'll update those in the coming sessions while the channel. So again, looking for it to hold this trend line resistance, it might might be doing a bigger double correction here, let me just move that for you and look at the zone here. So, we have potential a the sea. Tony pullbacks into this 1300 level should should see by a step back in. So we can start to think about a test then of the quality objective at 151776. Alternatively, similar really in a bunch of these markets at the moment, we can draw in this trend line here and any clothes back through the trend line would suggest that the correction is all is completed for now. We can look to re engage on the long side, at least looking for that target and potentially higher there with the projected sending train line resistance coming in at 161770. So I'm certainly thinking about long setups in dollar yen there. Swissy looking for the Swissy to try and get through its sending channel resistance, or if we hold what we see is this scenario. And we pull back into this sending train line support before trying to recover and make another run to the upside. Just above the high volume out here. And so seeing the chop Europe. So looking a little bit we've had the easy, we've got the ECB today. Ideally, I'm looking for this to test this, the same trend line resistance and then set up the next leg to the downside, which would coincide with that dollar testing up into the 95 96 area. And then we see a more sustained reversal in the euro. So I think we take out this projected sending trend line support. We could be heading straight there. So, keep an eye on that. Euro yen is one also that I'm watching. So this, the euro yen correcting, let's look at the policy objectives here. There are many moves that get. Well, we're right in the zone now for for this one to try and find its legs again so we can get bullish reversal patterns from this level. We will be looking at long positions. So we've got this internal trend line then to as a reference point get a close back through there and we should actually give the green light for another leg of upside in terms of in terms of the euro. So in terms of the euro yen. So we're getting that one euro Swiss coming into key test here we've got projected as sorry descending trend line support. We've got the extension from our B wave high here so watching any test of 106 15 as an opportunity on the long side certainly think about three way correction back into the high volume made there. Then if we can get grind it through there then we can think about the same internal resistance coming at 180 50 the euro Swiss. Euro sterling, finally getting down to test that 84 handle. So I'm watching for an opportunity to play a counter trend longs here in euro sterling certainly think about 86 30 on the upside. I'll update that through the training for your accounts in the coming sessions you're a Kiwi. So we have this weekly. Sitting right on this weekly trend line closed through there will be a pretty significant bearish development for the your Kiwi and open up some some interesting opportunities on the downside. We're going to close this week but if we close through there, then I'm going to be looking at strategies to get short the your Kiwi, and we can think about this extending lower to the downside. A couple of other ones that are going to coming into play. Sterling Aussie. So it's broken its trend line so I'm looking for any pullbacks now is sterling Aussie to test this 184 from below what's for bearish reversal patterns that short positions play for this projected descending trend line resistance we've also got a high volume coming through there at 180 40 and a rattle through a couple of these now guys we're time constrained sterling in so we've got that breakout through that major weekly resistance. So what we're looking for is opportunities to get into this on the long side potential three wave correction here back into the prior highs. So I'm watching the bullish reversal patterns again just as additional confirmation for you or if you want you can put in that trend line there so looking for a bull, bull flag scenario. The weekly target for this one is 164. So for bullish reversal patterns to certainly think about a 159 tests but really what we look what ideally what we're looking to do is join up bigger trends and look for this extension up into the 164 area. So that one is also on the radar.  So I'm going to update again. The daily trading view ideas, because I see a bunch of opportunities developing in these ends. So I'm looking for this Aussie and Kiwi yen. Looking for that to play up into this ascending trend line resistance and then there's going to be an opportunity with once we get the momentum divergence in play to to trade that on the short side. So now we're in a round position working well. So now looking for a test of 1530 shallow callbacks and we should see an extension up into that. So once it's in target zone with the double around there, which was one that I highlighted last week. So it's, it's going to be a question really of paying close attention now to how the market responds next week after the third meeting that's going to set a phase of price action to play and and then what we're ultimately looking for is going to be a reversal in any equity weakness that we see that gives us opportunities on alongside trades that seasonal year end move. Ultimately, they're looking for some weakness in the dollar after the by the rumors sell the fact trade sets up, and we should see these effects majors trade higher as well post post market reaction to the FMC. So with that said, are there any questions, you can type them into the chat box or the Q&A box. Please Patrick, how do you use Fibonacci either for retracement auto execute truth. I don't specifically use Fibonacci as such to execute trades. I use it to measure. I use it to measure market equality objectives. So I'm always looking at symmetry in the market and equality moves measured moves, and so I use it for that. And so where we have confidence where we've got a measured move, and we've also got retracement, then watch for the price action in that area. I don't trade off Fibonacci as such I'm always watching for price confirmations. Any other questions. Equally if you don't have a question and any in the chat box is useful so that I know we do perhaps do high frequency trading. So high frequency trading is such a trade. Normally, most of my trainings of daily timeframe but in terms of the in terms of the futures profits and the E-mini S&P, I trade that on an intraday basis.  So what's the golden zone as a signal to execute your trade? Sorry, what's the gold, I'm not sure what you mean by the golden zone. Okay, if there aren't any other questions, I'm going to wrap this up here. So you're saying any currency against JPY is, yeah, well I am bullish, but I believe that we're in a fourth wave consolidation at the moment. So I'm waiting for that fourth wave to give me the signal that it's complete and then I'm going to play for the fifth wave extension to the to the upside. With the Fibonacci's, I'm looking for more for confluence. So where we get, you can, there's this basically a catalogue of all the webinars that I've done. So I'll put that in, I'll put the link into the chat there. That should give you some sense of how to go about it. Okay, are there any other questions? Yeah, in terms of the fundamentals, I mentioned this last week. The corvoids, the trading approach for me is technical, but I'm very cognizant of the fundamental drivers and dynamics in the market because when you get a technical setup, understanding the fundamentals gives you a sense of what the catalyst might be to drive the technical trade through to its conclusion. If you, for those that have asked about the, here's the, let me just do this. There's the link, the trading view, tick mill trading view accounting where I post the daily, the trade ideas and their videos. So if you want to get a sense of how it is I trade, then that following those ideas and the videos will give you the best explanation because I break down the setup that I'm looking for, how I've identified the trade location, etc. So that will probably be useful for you. And then lastly, again, for those who are interested in joining the Facebook group to get the daily trade plan for the S&P 500, there's that link again, just request membership and you can, you'll get that daily video as well. It's like I say three to five minutes. And I don't just give the trade plan for the day ahead. I also review the trade plan from the day before versus the price action that played out during the sessions. So it gives you a high degree of transparency or it's high degree of transparency in terms of how effective that strategy is. Okay, that said, I'm going to wrap this one up here guys. Thanks very much for your time. I hope this helps.


Hello and welcome to the session. Let us understand the following question which says sand is pouring from a pipe at the rate of 12 centimeter cube per second. The falling sand forms a cone on the ground in such a way that the height of the cone is always one sixth of the radius of the base. How fast is the height of the sand cone increasing when the height is 4 centimeter? Now let us proceed on to the solution. Here we can see a cone of height h and radius r. It is given to us that and is pouring from the pipe at the rate of 12 centimeter per second that is dv by dt is equal to 12. Also it is given to us that falling sand forms a cone on the ground in such a way that height of the cone is always one sixth of the radius of the base that is h is equal to 1 by 6 of r which implies r is equal to 6h. We know volume of cone is given by v is equal to 1 by 3 r square h that is v is equal to now substituting the value of r is equal to 6h we get 1 by 3 pi 6h the whole square multiplied by h. It implies v is equal to 1 by 3 multiplied by pi multiplied by 6h multiplied by 6h multiplied by h. Here 3 gets cancelled at 6 and we get here 2. It implies v is equal to 2 multiplied by 6 12 pi h cube. Now differentiating it with respect to t we get dv by dt is equal to 12 pi multiplied by 3h square dh by dt. It implies putting the value of dv by dt and h we get 12 is equal to 12 pi multiplied by 3 h is given to us as 4. Height is 4 centimetre so 3 multiplied by 4 square multiplied by dh by dt. This 12 and 12 gets cancelled so it implies dh by dt is equal to 1 by pi 3 multiplied by 4 12 multiplied by 4 is equal to 48. Therefore dh by dt is equal to 1 by 48 pi hence height is increasing at the rate of 1 by 48 pi centimetre per second which is the required answer. I hope you understood this question. Bye and have a nice day.

Friday morning, 11 o'clock in downtown Honolulu, folks. Ted Ralston here on Think Tech Hawaii with our show, Where the Drone Leads. I'd like to welcome on board today Dr. Phil McGillivary. Phil, long time you've been here in Hawaii, long time you've escaped being on this show, and we got you. I'm here now. You're here now, and once you're here, you come back a lot. That's how it works. Anyway, just let our audience know that a lot of the people in the world set their clocks to four o'clock on Friday afternoon, assuming this show is going to be a four o'clock Friday afternoon. So folks, you got a five-hour reset on today, so make sure that you don't think it's four o'clock, it's only 11. And next week we're going to switch this show to 11 o'clock on Thursday, so kind of keep you on your toes. Anyway, Dr. McGillivary, Phil, is here for a conference this week and for some other activities, and Phil always brings with him incredible insights and background and almost impossible to state your total litany of history, where you came from, where you're going, and the things you've been able to do, Phil, in your life here with the Coast Guard. So, yes, I am the science liaison for the Coast Guard Pacific Area, which for more than 120 years has been based out of Alameda, California and San Francisco Bay, and we have responsibility for the Arctic Ocean, the Southern Ocean around Antarctica, as well as the Pacific and Indian Ocean was added a few years ago when we realized we needed to start doing some stuff over there as well. So one of my principal job responsibilities is to manage the science on the United States icebreakers, which the Coast Guard runs, and so we have one medium icebreaker that will break through about 10 feet of ice or so, and one heavy icebreaker, which is principally used in Antarctica, that will break up to 21 feet of ice. And the mission in Antarctica is to resupply our main base at McMurdo in the Ross Sea, which was set up back around in the late 1950s, and they maybe put it a little bit too far south because the ice is quite thick there, and that's why we need the heavy icebreaker to make sure we can get food and fuel into our base in Antarctica. So we have a number of other issues. I guess if we could get the first slide, that would show some of what the Coast Guard's fundamental missions are. So these are some of our challenges right now. The Coast Guard's responsibilities are for search and rescue, of course, for illegal fishing, monitoring, safety of life at sea, responding to natural disasters, and international and law enforcement in general, as well as I mentioned, ice breaking operations. So one of the issues that we have is in order to combat things like illegal fishing, we're trying to stay focused on persistent surveillance. Now, the Coast Guard has C-130 aircrafts. Those are fairly expensive to operate, and so we've been trying to see how we can supplement those with unmanned aircraft. That's a great thing to say that we're a drone on this show because it's about drones, so I was hoping we're going to get to that point. Okay. Well, drones, unmanned aircrafts, either I have to face the fact that's what the world calls them, so that's what they most need. I'm fine with that. Okay. So we started, I started working with unmanned aircraft in 1998 with Burt Rutan, and the aircraft weighed about 350 pounds, and the ship captain thought that was a little bit too much in case it crashed into the ship. So we've been working with much smaller aircraft since. We started in 2011 with a RavenEye, which is a four and a half pound aircraft that was developed for the military and used principally in Afghanistan and Iraq. And it did a very good surveillance. It's been worked on quite a lot, and so it's hand-launched, and you literally can hand retrieve it as well. And our first use of it was off the ice breakers in the Arctic to look for ridging of ice. We have a saying in the ice breaker world that ice isn't what stops ships. It's when ice ridges up and down. That's when you get really heavy ice. So you want to find those ice ridges from onboard without actually putting a foot patrol forward? Yes. Well, we used to have helicopters, but the budget cuts meant that we got rid of the helicopters, and so that's why we were really moving. So when the budget cuts really get UAS going, and the budget cuts happen there, what are we going to use? Paper airplanes. Well, I think the unmanned aircraft, the drones are inexpensive enough that as we move towards them, we should be able to use them. So the initial mapping of ice ridging was done with structure from motion sequential frame video. And when we started in 2011, it took about six or eight hours to actually turn the data around, and the captains of the ships wanted that once twice a day in morning. Well, now we can turn it around a lot faster. And so structure from motion works pretty well if you are over land and trying to map stuff. It does not work, however, that well over ice at sea in certain circumstances, because at sea the ice moves. And when you're doing structure from motion and the substrate is moving, the accuracy falls off very quickly. Is there enough accuracy, enough resolution in the constant color ice to generate a good ice ridge picture? Yes, and you can film in multispectral. And interestingly enough, the ice ridges are in places both warmer and colder than the ambient ice. And for example, if you look in infrared, the ice ridges stick out right away because they are a much different temperature than the regular ice. I know this wasn't part of our thought process, but I just wonder if I can take this problem down the street to some guys at Oceanette after later on when we're done or something. I think maybe some of their video extraction technology might be useful in this issue of moving the moving ice in... Well, it's possible, but where we're going with that, and I think that we're getting ready, there's a number of groups that are working with me to try and get this going. The actual solution is inexpensive LiDAR laser mapping, which gives you much greater accuracy. And two years ago or so, that was fairly expensive, 30,000 or more. And the processing of it is complicated as well. Well, it does have very high bandwidth data. These are fan beam LiDARs that are 50 megabits per second. So it's more data than HD video, but you get very good accuracy. And we don't necessarily need super high accuracy for ice ridges, but if you're doing something like beach erosion or inundation, a centimeter... This is about centimeter scale accuracy is what you're going for. So the price of those systems has come down a great deal now, and the systems were available, but the integration into the aircraft was not easily done. And now that's also commercially available. You can just plop it in your drone and actually get centimeter scale resolution with very precise GPS mapping. And with some reasonable, simple round processing or off-board processing? Yes, and the processing can be done on the plane, in fact. So that's incredible. A couple of years, how much that has advanced. Yes, the advancement has literally been over the past 18 months or so we've gotten to that level. So that brings up an interesting question. Do you think... What we're talking about is almost experimental approach towards things, put things together, see if it works. Is there a way that that could be turned into a requirements generating process where the necessary requirements can be established in advance? Well, we definitely have established. So there are a number of interagency federal working groups. There's one for the National Science Foundation and the Navy for unmanned aircraft. They've been discussing requirements and training requirements and operational requirements for a whole variety of different things. There is a federal interagency group, which is NOAA, NASA, the Coast Guard, Department of Energy and U.S. Geological Survey. And so it depends on whether you're looking at erosion of river banks where you maybe need five centimeters or so if it's a fairly large signal. Or if you're looking at things like inundation and high tide maps, those accuracies are a centimeter. And for earthquake stuff with U.S. Geological Survey, they will actually try and go lower than that when possible. So people are actually using the end state that they want, the end delivered product, working backwards from there in terms of the resolution required. And that will then define what the sensors and cameras look like. The other aspect of that is, so you have this spatial dimension of it, what accuracy do you need spatially, how large an area do you need to cover as the other components of that, and how frequently. And the weather you have to operate in and the temperature and the winds and all of that goes. One of the reasons that I've been pushing the limits is because our operations are in the Arctic and the Antarctic. And it's always extremely windy in the Antarctic. We almost never have a day where the wind is less than 30 miles an hour. And since we work for the Coast Guard for search and rescue, we have to be able to operate in all kinds of conditions. Cloudy weather, foggy weather, sleet, snow, ice. So we have sort of the worst set of possible conditions.  If you can meet the Coast Guard requirements, you can probably survive elsewhere. So we've developed a carbon nanotube anti-icing coating that you put on the wings. And it takes just a very little bit of power. And it will melt the ice off the wings, which is a big problem for us in the polar regions. There's also a silver nanoparticulate paint that's self-organizing into a network. And that will go over the lenses of the cameras. And so while you're filming, if your camera ices up, you could hit that a little bit. It'll melt the water off the camera. And you can continue the mission. So there are a number of issues for the polar regions, in particular, that are among the most demanding that exist. But you also have the traffic regions. I mean, there must be a similar set of requirements coming forth, dealing with sea level rise. Well, I've been supervising a number of graduate students who've been working on coral reef mapping. We should mention Stanford, right? Yes, I am one of the mentors of the Stanford Unmanned Aircraft Club, SWAB, which would SUAVE, if you look online, which was founded by one of the graduate students at Stanford that I work with. Can we pull up that video? Do you think right now? Yeah, well, let me introduce it a little bit. So part of the issue was many of the unmanned aircraft simply could not handle very strong winds, such as we had at sea. And some of them land in nets. We had a number of experiments that we did with NOAA off of our ship with some aircraft that landed in the water, which was a problem because then you had to put a small boat in the water to go get them, which is a whole ordeal. It involves the crew of the ship, and nobody really wants to spend time doing that. And then some of them landed in the nets. But in high latitudes, the GPS fixes aren't that good.  We operate near the North Magnetic Pole, the South Magnetic Pole. And so they don't always land in the net. And so we went towards working with Stanford graduate students to design basically an aircraft that's like the Osprey in the military, where it goes up like a helicopter, and then the rotors will flip horizontally. So we do have a video, I think, that shows part of that aircraft, which is now commercially available. Dang, this was very much of a prototype at this point. Yes, this was a prototype. This is a slightly, it looks about the same now. But you can see that there are two rotors in the front that are takeoff vertically, and then they flip over horizontally. And so this is basically useful for ships. But one of the other key things, this is in Honolulu Harbor. And with a quadcopter, you get 10 to 20 minutes, 15 to 20 minutes of endurance. But with this aircraft, because the engines flip over and fly like an aircraft, you have much better endurance. So we're getting more than two hours endurance on the same batteries that you would get 20 minutes. The ratio is about five to one in terms of rotor-borne versus wing-borne endurance. So this video shows us mapping the coral reefs on Lanai, which is one of the least studied areas of coral reefs in Hawaii. We also mapped some of the traditional, there are five traditional fish ponds on Lanai, one of which is being restored. And so we wanted to get some sort of at least before pictures as the restoration process proceeds. So this configuration being really evolved to satisfy a coast guard requirement has applications everywhere, not just limiting the coast guard. Yes, no, no.  But the interesting thing about that particular plane is that Trent Lucasic, who is the designer and owner of the company with his colleagues, he designed it with what's called blended controls. So every single second, it's checking to see if it's a quadcopter or a plane. And what we did, actually, is in 45-mile-an-hour gusts, we flipped the plane over. And if you do that with most unmanned aircraft, they pretty much hit the ground or go in the drink. This one, it flipped over. And since it was checking once a second to see what kind of a plane it was, whether it was a plane or a quadcopter, it instantaneously righted itself with no human interaction. It only dropped about six feet and then continued the mission. Adaptive control, so to speak. It was adaptive control without any human interaction. Let's get back to the whole subject of requirements and such and keying off from that very observation when we get back in our first break. OK. Aloha and ha'olimakahikihou, which is happy new year. And I hope it's a happy and prosperous new year for you. I'm Kelea Akina with the Grass Root Institute. Every week we partner with ThinkTech Hawaii and produce a program called Ehana Kako. Let's work together. We bring together movers and shakers who are making a difference here in Hawaii, making a better Hawaii for everyone. If you're interested in improving the economy, the government and society, join us every week on Mondays at 2 o'clock p.m. for Ehana Kako on the ThinkTech Hawaii broadcast network. Until you see me then, aloha. And we are back live, folks. Ted Ralston here, hosting our show where the drone leads at ThinkTech Hawaii. And Dr. Phil McGilvery. Bill, thanks again for stopping by. Sure, Ted. Being part of the show today and that really exciting first part of the show here. We were talking about requirements kind of as we got towards the break. And I was intrigued by the fact that you've told us that there are high level thinking going on at the National Science Foundation level or equivalent in terms of requirements that UABs and drones are gonna have to think about addressing as the future comes at us. Well, NOAA is very interested as are some other federal agencies in also using drones for meteorological research, including Airsea Heat Flux, Hurricane Generation, Tropical Storm Studies. And one of the issues that has been persistently problematic for them is what we call the bottom 100 feet above the ocean. Usually- Energy transfer and everything going on there. Wind speed, all of those things. You're not gonna be flying manned planes generally below about 100 feet. We have some planes that drop things sort of an attached drone, but really they're very interested in getting that lower level because that actually gives them the information they need to know what the path of the hurricanes would be. Really, that 100 feet layer. There's information. Yeah, that bottom layer is the absolutely key thing. They've done about everything they can with the models now and that's the one missing component that they're very interested in using the drones for. So information from that area could drive the algorithms and the models that predicts path. It predicts the path. That's the key thing they're trying to do is right now, they don't know where the storms are gonna come ashore. There's a lot of uncertainty in that. And so the one thing that they think they can do to improve that is get that bottom 100 feet. The other example of what we're trying to do is- I think if you have a better place than Hawaii, you go find that out. Like in Hawaii. Well, Kauai and the Caribbean, we have plenty of storms. The other thing that they're trying to do, which has been done a little bit but not very much right now is to use multiple drones to get the three-dimensional wind field. As you know, you can go out and measure the wind at one point, but it's gonna be different every place else. And so what they really want for some of the meteorological models is the turbulent spatial scale. So if you have three or four more drones up, you can plot a path for the drone and then the deviation from that path will give you the wind direction and speed at that point. And what we've been doing with colleagues of mine is sharing the data among the drones and sending it back for, which allows you to get a four-dimensional wind field time. So three dimensions and over time. And there's a lot of interest in things like if you have an oceanographic front, the wind changes because the temperature on the sides of the front is different. And so there's quite a bit of data that you can get back at that. There's the air sea breeze that happens in the morning and the evening. There's also an ice breeze that happens over the edge of ice and the ocean as well. And so this helps a little bit with improving the meteorological models as well. But one of the other things we've been doing is using the drones for illegal fishing monitoring and for monitoring endangered species. The obvious thing that's been done with Alaska and the Alaska Pan-Pacific Unmanned Aircraft Center, which as you know Hawaii is part of, is they've been using them to look at whales. We've done quite a bit of work with whales with seal colonies. We've used them for seabird colonies as well. And you can actually size the animals. But we took it I would say one step further with some of my colleagues and we've used the drone. We started with mola-molas, which are these very big slow moving ocean fish. And we allowed the software to actually recognize the fish automatically and follow them without the animals being tagged. Software on board the drone. Software on the drone. Automatic control on the drone. Yes, so it recognizes a mola-mola, which are brown, so they're quite recognizable. And then it will follow them around. The other thing that we did was to have the drone with infrared camera, actually recognize an ocean thermal front. Because many of the fish and turtles and marine mammals will aggregate at the fronts. So it can recognize the fronts and automatically start mapping the fronts and then recognize the animals at the front and track and follow those as well. And so that's, we've been doing that because there were some illegal fishing that was actually taking in a whole bunch of juvenile sunfish and sharks. So we moved from sunfish to sharks, which move a lot faster. But we've been able to automatically do oceanography and marine protected species. And we're now trying to move towards and have done some flights on automated recognition of whales. And the reason for that is that we have had a number of whale ship collision incidents. We had seven blue whales killed in San Francisco Harbor in one week. And 30 killed in LA Long Beach in a three week period.  What's interesting to me again is we're talking about requirements. And we've talked about operational requirements. You talked about science, very deep science in terms of that 100 foot layer and figuring out what's going on energy transfer wise. Question I have is how do we bundle all those requirements or find where they're generated and feed them into our pan Pacific unmanned test range complex? I would say that they're, you know, as soon as I leave here, I'll be going back to another federal interagency unmanned aircraft committee. And we've only been having these meetings and trying to get the requirements really done for about the last at most three years. So I mean, we started talking about it three years ago. It's only been the last two years that the requirements have been drafted and they're being circulated. So I think you're going to see that once that comes out and people agree on it, that it'll actually have a pretty big impact. We had a guess though, because we had a large meeting about that in January, February. I can't imagine that much of what's out there today is going to survive those kind of requirements. Certainly the things you're talking about and the temperatures and bearing ice. I have the harshest requirements. So there is one other requirement that I wanted to show you some pictures of because I thought people might be interested. And yeah, so we can pull up the other photographs and I think let's see if we've got the right ones. This is how to operate your aircraft in GPS challenged or GPS denied environments. And so this is a cartoon of that. And what you do is on the underside of your aircraft, you have a video camera and then you have a parabolic mirror that's looking at the whole surrounding. So let's go to the next image there. And that actually shows the video camera pointed at the parabolic mirror. And then in the next image, this is the sort of picture that you get. And this has been called BI technology because these bees navigate by the flow field. The closer you get to ground, the faster the trees are coming at you and the more their height appears to increase. So this allows automated for takeoff and landing and also airfield, airspace maneuvering. It tells you and automatically identifies where the horizon is and what the angle of the aircraft is relative to the horizon. Based on sweep rate and scene compression, scene expansion, that's how bees sink. Yes, this is designed specifically to mimic bees. Okay, and bees hit the flower every time. Doesn't matter what the wind's doing, does it? They hit the flower. If they didn't, they wouldn't be here. And so this is an interesting alternative. This was developed under Department of Defense funding because there are GPS-challenged environments, but many places, I was just going to say, many places have GPS. If you go up in some of the Polly areas and some of the valleys here, the mountains, the Polly's will block the satellites and you will be in a GPS-challenged environment. Environment canyons as well. Yes, and urban canyons as well. So this is one way that I thought would be interesting for people to see that you can address that issue. And it has been worked out, it actually works extremely well. What's incredible, Phil, you're the science master between the operational requirements and the deep technology. And few people can handle that transition. Well, and so I thank you for... We have to have... How do we do more? Adaptive use of this. Well, I think that one of the things that we're trying to work with you and others to do, and others include a number of NGOs. Right now, there are a number of NGOs that have been using unmanned aircraft specifically for doing things like patrolling the turtle-nesting beaches in Costa Rica, patrolling the areas in the northern Gulf of Mexico, where the vaquita, the world's smallest and most endangered porpoise, still lives and is still at risk from illegal fishing, and also to try and monitor fishing around Palau, illegal fishing around Palau, and at the same time coral reef bleaching. So many uses, and particularly as the sea level rise comes up as warming comes up, we even have issues of managing the land side because populations are going to get this place and such, and so there's no end of use for this functionality as it comes forward. Well, the Coast Guard also is one of the first responders in natural disasters, and so one of the key things that we need to know is where do we need to... Where can we safely put the Coast Guard people to begin assisting? Where are the people most in danger? Where is the damaged infrastructure that we need to look at first? And I think what we'd like to know, mostly as the pan-Pacific unmanned air systems test range, is what are those total requirements? And in any form we can get them, like we talked the other day with the folks from Primo, and use them to start driving the direction of technology in our research here at the university and our grad student programs and such, and also in investment from private companies and such, and get a holistic process going that's not just hit and miss, but is taking real requirements well thought through such that you're presenting and turning them into real meaningful student projects. So much that we don't have, so much of this in the drone world, frankly, is a model airplane experimentation. Well, the first thing... We have to get past that. The first thing that we did was to use... And we're coming to the end of our time here, so... We did a secure communications protocol. Secure communications... So data formatting and data protocols and data security. You don't want everybody to see necessarily everything and getting the data format so they can be shared. In a very practical way, so making a movie. Important starts. You don't want to have a movie and using a drone to record the imagery for your movie. You don't want to have somebody else pulling that data down and putting it on the internet tonight. So data formatting and data security are important, but the other key thing I would say... Right now, most of the data streams have been done with wireless communications with delay and disruption, tolerant networking, and that works pretty well, but the data streams we're getting now are much higher bandwidth. It's not unusual to have an unmanned aircraft with a bunch of sensors so that your data streams are in the 100 to 150 megabytes. Most interesting. So we're going optical communications or the way to solve the high bandwidth. Two weeks ago on this show, we had a gentleman from a spectrum management company and we were under a lot of interest from O&R and thinks working in terms of disconnected, intermittent, and limited or low bandwidth operation. So we have this emerging contrast between higher bandwidth requirements performing a mission and potentially lower capability in terms of reliability of that supporting spectrum in order to perform a mission. So we're talking about a lot more stuff. I want both, Ted. I want both. I want reliability and security and high bandwidth. And we want you back on the show next time you're in town and we absolutely want to dial into that pile of requirements that are forming up because that is so essential to get those requirements and push them into our educational program and into our test range here. Well, the educational component is a big aspect of things as well. And so the materials for that are still being developed, but they're coming. Okay, well, Dr. Phil McGilvery, thanks so much for coming on the show. Thanks very much, Ted. Of course, guys. You're going to have to make your habit to get on this show every time you're here in town. Well, I'll be happy to do that. Okay, thanks very much. Thanks again. We'll see you everybody next Thursday at 11 o'clock.


So today I have a question for all of you. I received this email which says, my wife doesn't like oral sex. She doesn't like to give or receive oral sex but I really want it and I know and I understand that it's a personal choice for everyone but it gets very frustrating. We have been married for almost seven years and not more than once a year we engage in oral sex. She finds it dirty and gross. She only likes intercourse hardly any foreplay whereas I am interested in activities like face sitting where she will sit on me etc but she finds them utterly gross. So my question is is it normal for women to be averse to oral sex? Is my wife being extra sensitive or are my expectations wrong? So my question to everyone is is there a solution to this? Is there a compromise in this situation? Is there a way to negotiate this situation?
