What's up everybody hope everybody had a great week of trading today is Friday March 23rd Welcome to this week's video update No, a lot of guy. We got a lot of new members who joined us before we close the membership to To new members so welcome everyone if this is your first update first week of trading with us You know one thing I was going to mention it is we did a lot of adjustments this week Which I know for newer traders Can sometimes be really confusing so I might take a little extra time to explain the adjustments here So bear with me But let's jump into the trades for the week We started out on Monday the 19th and our first trade was a closing adjusting trade in FXI So we closed out one of our strangles booked a nice profit on this piece of our trade and We're still holding the other piece of that now This was a little bit frustrating There's two frustrating trades this week that I that I was trying to get out of and then they With this huge move down the last couple days. They moved away from us FXI being one of them So we took off one booked a nice profit, but then this one was fairly centered as well And it's run all the way down at a range now. So I was actually I had orders in I was trying to get filled I didn't want to chase which is what you should do. It's frustrating, but it just it's trading It's what happens sometimes so prices now run all the way down So what we're gonna look to do next week Let's first look at the calls to see what we're at and we still have a little bit of premium in there So not necessarily any reason to roll the calls down quite yet But what we will look to do next week is add another position This one's in April so we'll look to add another kind of centered strangle around the current price Collect more credit give ourselves more time to be right and continue to manage manage our way out of the trade It was if I had gotten out, you know back when it was fairly centered it would have we would have booked a We would have been out of FXI booked a really nice winner. Unfortunately. That's trading it ran away from us So now we'll continue to to manage it I mean that the implied volatility obviously is super high IV percentile of 99 So even if we had gotten out of it, I'd be looking to to re-enter and add positions anyway So that look for that next week in FXI Next trade was an opening trade Excuse me in XLU and we added a we sold a strangle in XLU IV percentile at the time was 83 So if we take a look at XLU, you know, we've had a little bit of a down movement just like a lot of things It's still well within the range here. Not much to do except for weight in XLU Next trade was an opening adjusting trade in Ford slash ES, which is the S&P 500 futures. So what we did here is we added an iron condor IV percentile at the time was currently at 92. So if we take a look at ES That's some big moves the last couple days in the market. So let's let's reset this so we can Uncheck the correct boxes here. We've got a couple different positions on an ES and you can see with this big down move We're already way down here at the lower end of our range. So we haven't adjusted yet We will continue to monitor that Next week, you know for for all of 2017 and then, you know, even the first part of 2018 We kept getting tested to the upside tested to the upside and managing our way out of trades that way and now it's interesting We're getting tested to our downside. So it's kind of actually a refreshing thing I like getting tested to the downside way better because that means volatility is spiking Giving us more opportunity to make additional trades. So You can look at adjusting as an opportunity as well We've also got this long put vertical in ES that we that we had rolled which is an alert I'll go over and you can see with the down move. We've already, you know Can't come into the profit on this piece quite a bit So we'll be looking to potentially roll this again next week to continue to keep that downside bias in our portfolio I have been getting some question from from new members about the whole short delta short bias in your portfolio So I want to address that right now as well When you trade the way that we do when we're selling premium and doing iron condors and strangles in our core a lot of our core trades are Selling premium and high implied volatility. You know, we're trying to capture price within a specific range So the way that you protect yourself from that type of trading is to keep short delta in your portfolio keep short a Short bias in your portfolio to protect yourself from the velocity of what can happen with down moves Like we saw in February like we've seen this week So this is a perfect reason why you want to keep short delta in your portfolio So you can see that was a huge Benefit of having that piece in there because we we made money. We're making money on that trade now So that's that I've we've got a couple blog posts about how to hedge your portfolio using delta How to trade options like a professional those are two different blog posts with videos that you need to watch if you want to understand that concept a little bit better All right, so moving on next trade was a closing adjusting trade in ES so we actually closed out of an iron condor in this one made a nice profit on that piece of the trade Next trade was a closing trade in Oracle So this was a an earnings pre earnings long straddle that we had put on and we were looking for an expansion and implied Volatility and a decent price move leading up to earnings didn't quite get there And so we booked a small loser on that trade and just you know We had to be out before the earnings announcement and so we needed to close that trade took a small loss on that one next trade was another closing trade where we had an iron condor on in SPY and And so we took that off booked it booked a nice profit on SPY And I'll look at the closing trades here in a minute to show you what those what the profits were on some of these closing trades had a great week of profitable closed trades Next trade was a closing adjusting trade in ZS. So like said, we had a lot of adjustments this week So this one was in soybeans and basically what we did was we closed out our call vertical Booked a nice profit on that piece of the trade and then we're still holding a full iron condor in ZS So if we take a look at that you can see it's hanging out near the lower end of our range But still well within nothing to do there. No adjustments needed at this point Next trade was a rolling adjusting trade in ES. So this is these are the kind that kind of Give a little bit of confusion To newer traders. So Remember when we roll a position essentially what that is is you're closing out the current position and you're reopening at a different expiration cycle and possibly different strikes as well and So this is one that we you know We made some profit on this piece of the trade and then we wanted to so we closed it out and reopened it Now when you're trading options on futures the platform in this case thinkorswim Does not have the functionality to do the one transaction role like you can with options on stocks or ETFs So we actually have to manually do this as two separate orders. So that's why you'll see it look like this We sold this vertical and we bought this one. Okay, so we were rolling from April to May So we're rolling from one expiration cycle to the next and we are adjusting our strike So we closed out the 2840 2810 spread and we reopened the 2780 2750 spread so I always then reiterate that this is what we're currently holding That's the put vertical we're holding and as you can see that, you know This was back on Tuesday that we did this role and you can see Which I already already showed you is that? That long put vertical, you know price was right here after the roll It's already moved all the way down giving us that much profit in the trade So to give you an idea of that that's why we continue to keep that short delta in our portfolio Okay, so we're gonna keep keep on holding on to that We may we may roll it again next week if the if the market stays Steady to lower so look for that next week We want to book that little profit that we took in the Where we're currently at with that one and we want to continue to roll it give ourselves more time in the trade You know in case there's further down moves in the market Next trade was a rolling adjusting trade in DIA So this was a very similar trade the difference of Why it looks the way it is is because on toss you can do this in one transaction So you don't have to buy back the other one and then resell in two separate trades When you do a roll you can actually roll it in one one trade one transaction on toss, but it's the same Concept so the difference with this one is we did not roll from April to May We rolled Based because we had you know 30 days to expiration. We just stayed in April So we just wanted to roll our strikes closer to the money So we closed out the 255 257 and we rolled that down to the 248 251 Okay, so that's what we're holding now So if we take a look at DIA Let's take off the uncheck the iron condor that we have sometimes toss makes you reset these Before it lets you uncheck them. So if we take off the the current iron condor This is the make sure I'm looking at the right one because we did two of these simultaneous Back to back so the 248 251 So if we just check on the 248 251 That's what we've got. So again price was right here right after the roll with this big move down We've seen the last couple days. Boom. We've already booked, you know, we've already getting that booked We've already gained that amount of profit about $323 on this piece and then the next alert was the same thing rolling this one down So price started off about right here and it's always it's already moved all the way down here So same thing early next week We'll be looking to potentially roll these again to keep that short bias in our portfolio that we need and To you know lock in these gains and reposition the the strikes a little bit closer to where to where price is now Okay, if you're a newer trader, you might be thinking. Oh my gosh. This is so confusing I don't know if I can you know grasp this Give it time. Okay, this you've got to go through multiple trade cycles multiple expiration cycles and Eventually this stuff will become second nature. So just stick with it, you know Especially if you're not in these trades already This is gonna sound almost like a foreign language at first until you go through the course Understand the concepts and then you actually do it from beginning to end So once you have a trade-on and you have to go through a few cycles of making adjustments You'll you'll start to grasp this stuff a lot better. So please don't feel overwhelmed But but just you know keep on Keep on with us for a while until you understand the whole concept because it's a very powerful tool Once you understand the value of the way that we make adjustments and the way that it can provide some consistency for returns over time, okay Also in DIA, I haven't see I haven't gotten over this alert yet, but we also while we're here I'll show you we also added another iron condor, okay? So the price is hanging out right here still well within our range. No profit or loss So just continuing to wait on that piece of the trade and by the way I've said this a lot of times before and this is in our course, too But we don't like to have it on more than three positions Three trades on any one symbol at a time, okay? So we've got these two short call verticals that I just mentioned that were from previous iron condors that we've continued to roll a couple times So that one and this one so that's two separate trades You know this one's got three contracts This one has four and then we've got another iron condor, which is in another expiration cycle. That's out in May So we've got three different positions on in this one symbol. That's it That's that's where we kind of stop so we're going to continue to manage and You know if we get a profit on this one we can we book it You know then we can potentially add another position in the future But we never have more than three trades on in any one symbol at a time a It gets very difficult to track and remember what you're in and be you don't want to just keep adding and adding We like to scale into positions as implied volatility goes higher Well, we've got great high implied volatility after this week and so that's why we're you know We're continuing to add positions and we'll have multiple positions on in certain symbols But no more than three. That's kind of our rule of thumb So we had those back-to-back rolling di a verticals next trade was a closing trade in XLV So this was a nice one. We you know, we had adjusted this multiple times Price kind of ping-ponged around we adjust adjust adjust and and ended up booking a really nice profit completely out of XLV Either percentiles at 91 we will potentially look to re-enter something in XLV next week assuming Plied volatility stays high if we take a look at the chart you see up at the 97th percentile You don't want to go all in. I mean look at IV rank. It's still at 40 So that's got a lot of room to go up still meaning the options can continue to get more expensive So we don't want to jump in we like to be methodical about this put on a couple trades new trades today You know wait till tomorrow put on another one or two and just and spread those out So as price moves around you're continuing to add these positions on at different time frames different price levels in different symbols and that's how you build consistency is that continual methodical diversification and Adding and booking and adding and closing and adding and adjusting over time. Okay So that's XLV next trade was a closing trade in EWW. So this was a short strangle that we had on an EWW I had to make a few adjustments, but again by staying mechanical booked another nice profit in that trade And then we had we actually added a new position in EWW So I'll get to that here in an alert next trade was another closing trade. We bought back an iron condor in GLD The gold ETF booked a nice profit of over 45% of max profit Had a nice contraction in implied volatility IV percentile when we closed this was was down at Current Ling should be currently at 21 So we had a nice contraction which allowed us to get out of that trade If we take a look at GLD now after the last couple days, you'll see implied volatility is shot back up Okay, so we'll be potentially looking to add a gold trade GLD probably an iron condor in GLD next week. Okay Next trade an opening adjusting trade in DIA. So that's the that's adding the iron condor in the May cycle I already went over that Next trade was an opening trade in EWW.  So we jumped back in with a short strangle in EWW You can see it implied volatility increased even more after we put this on so it's still very centered But we're just down slightly on it. So just looking for some time to pass and for theta to the K in that one Okay, let's see moving on to the next trade By the way, oh one thing I was going to mention on EWW for for your newer traders You know sometimes the question is well, can I can I just buy the wings and define this to make it an iron condor if I'm trading an IRA or if I'm trading a Or if I don't have permission to trade naked options or if I just like to find risk Can I can I trade an iron condor and the answer is yes, you can But the problem is and why I typically don't on these lower price symbols I mean this this stock is this ETFs trading at around 50 bucks, right? Yeah, right at about 50 bucks. So when you define the risk, you're going to be collecting a lower credit So meaning your max profit is going to be lower and And and and you double the amount of contracts you're trading so your transaction costs are going to be higher So you need to determine is it worth it? You know is it is the risk that I'm taking worth the max profit or the reward potential reward and Taking into consider consideration the the amount of transaction costs Okay, if you're trading on tasty works that's significantly reduced your transaction costs because there's zero closing commissions But but you just you need to be aware of that. So on lower price symbols where you collect less credit I'm typically doing your uncovered Positions like strangles and straddles and things like that when you get up to the higher price symbols, you know things over a hundred dollars That's when I'm typically defining the risk to make a better use of capital So it's just about an efficiency of capital and where your overall, you know risk tolerance is so that's that's why we you know When I do a strangle or some type of naked position, you know I try to put in an alternative trade for a defined risk, but sometimes it just doesn't make sense So you just you've got to determine for you and your your account if it makes sense or not Next trade a closing adjusting trade in the queues. So we close the call vertical side of the iron condor. So price on Wednesday when it was the Thursday when the price had that huge move down breached our downside break even and so we closed out the untested side and so we're still holding So we're still holding the the put vertical side and we're still holding those short call vertical spreads Okay, so if we go to QQQ This is one that I got quite a few questions on so let's first look at We've got these two different Short call verticals that were previously iron condors. Okay that we that we've rolled and you know We're already sitting starting to get some profit in so we've got that one We've got this one, which is a was just one strike different. So it looks very similar But then the alert that I just mentioned is we took off the call side because price breached our downside break even and So now we're left with the put vertical the losing side And so a lot of people kind of get freaked out about this or nervous or can't quite understand why we do this Because they're saying okay. This one's losing, you know price breached here What do we why are we holding on to the losing side and the answer is one the This is a defined risk trade so you need to be comfortable with that amount of risk when you put the trade on If you know if you happen to have a huge move and and you take a max loss now What will look to do with this trade is a couple things one If we look at how many days we have to expiration, we still have 28 days to expiration. Okay, that's a long time Okay, so there's definitely not any reason to do this You've got to let the probabilities play out if we change our calendar to the expiration date, which in this case is 421 What you'll see is I mean there there's still a very good chance that price could come back in the range I mean if you look at the shaded box, that's the one standard deviation move up or down So the probability of price, you know going back into range It's as good as any right? I mean there's still a decent probability You've got to let the probabilities play out So we don't want to just close this and take that loss because price may come all the way back and the fact that You know, we've seen this huge move down in price You know having a little bit of a bounce back a little bit of a retracement up It's definitely not unheard of and so we don't want to jump the gun and try to try to cut things off before the probabilities play Out. Okay, so that's number one number two is to find a risk. So we're not looking to do anything yet We won't do anything with it probably, you know, if it came back in a range and we get you know We're in a profitable position. We'd close it, but if it's still hanging out here I'm gonna hold it all the way till almost expiration week And then at that point we'll decide do we want to roll it and give ourselves more time in the trade Or do we want to close it and just take the loss? Okay, so that's the plan with that And remember we've got so this is you know, it's a losing position But we've also got these short call vertical spreads that are protecting us to the downside as well Okay, so that's the power of kind of playing both sides. You're you've got some short bias positions You've got some long bias positions and you're you know You're playing both sides and you're hoping price kind of ping-pongs around and you might potentially win on both And that's the name of the game. Okay All right moving on So I already went over the the two so we had two back-to-back rolling Call vertical spreads very similar to what we already went over in DIA. I already showed those to you You know, we've since we put them on, you know price came down even more So we're in the profit on those just holding holding on for more and again to keep some more of that short bias That short directional bias in our portfolio Okay, so that was those back-to-back Rolling adjusting verticals in the cues and lastly our last trade was a closing trade in IWM so we had an iron condor on an IWM had to make multiple Adjustments in IWM, which I'm going to show you when we go to the closing trades here But by staying mechanical. We were able to book a nice winner and And we'll look to re-enter Probably a position in IWM next week because with this down move implied volatility here is very high as well Okay, as you can see 99 have your rank is 78 Nice and high there. So really juiced up options a good time to potentially sell those. Okay So we'll look that next week if we take a look at the Closed trades that we made you can see this is the IWM iron condor Look at all those adjustments we had to make, you know, just close adjust roll adjust open adjust close All the way down the line when we closed out booked a profit of 164 bucks, right? Nothing Nothing crazy not a huge monster winner by any means but but when a but when we first got in this Price just kept moving up up up up up and and blew through our upside range blew through our upside range And so just by staying mechanical adjusting extending duration just continuing to play the game We turned a loser, you know a big loser into a winner, and that's the name of game if you can if you can Extend duration and continue to book profits and manage out of When price makes huge moves out of your range and then you can just book the winners as they come the ones that stay in your range The easy ones put those together. That's consistent profitability, and that's that's what we do So that was a so that was a nice one. We had the GLD iron condor We closed for a nice winner that you the EWW short strangle again had to make a couple adjustments couple roles and a book in a nice profit of $160 XLV again remember we had we had three different iron condors on at one time and we just kept You know price was just kind of going up and down up and down that two-sided action is what we love It's those one directional moves that just keep going and going and going like we saw in 2017 that are very hard to manage You know but with this one booked a nice profit of $686 okay SPY iron condor booked a profit of 272 Oracles the pre earnings long straddle that we took a little loss of 66 dollars on The ZN short straddle booked a nice profit of 468 Now, you know some of these some of these profits are bigger than what we've seen in in previous months, too And one of the reasons is we've had high implied volatility right implied volatility was so low all of 2017 That when you put on a trade your max profit is Only so much well when implied volatility gets higher Your max profit goes up because you're collecting more premium or collecting more credit, which makes your profits bigger That's that's why we do it EWZ short strangle made 144 XLE short strangle this is from last week 168. So anyway, those are some of the closed trades Let's take a look at some of the other current positions We have on that we didn't necessarily do alerts in this week one of which is the euro ford slash 6e This was another frustrating one. We're up money on this trade still But it was kind of the same situation of FX eyes I was trying to get filled to close the trade out and book about a seven hundred and some dollar winner When price was right here never got filled and prices then moved up on us it moved moved away So we could still close this for a really nice winner But but I'd like to get a little bit more out of it So looking for a little bit of a down move in 6e if it does continue to rip higher We would probably add another centered strangle around that in the next expiration collect more credit Give ourselves more time to be right on that one Natty gas we've got an iron condor in in that gas got a little bit of profit on this piece of the trade not enough to Take off yet. So we'll continue to monitor and manage that. I think I mentioned soybeans We've got this iron condor on need a little bit of a move up a little bit more time to pass to benefit that Got this iron condor in wheat. So just waiting on that one could use a little bit of a move higher Some more contraction in IV there Apple so this is one that we Price had moved against us initially we rolled it to extend duration Now we're now we're in the profit here and we'll look to potentially keep that on by rolling Next week or or we might just close it out for a little winter DIA already mentioned that one eem kind of the same situation as apple We put this we put these on around the same time and just kind of adding short Delta Looking for some downside bias We had to roll this one because price initially moved against us and now we're again same thing We're in the profit now So we will look to either continue to roll that one to to book more look for more profit more downside Or we may just take it as a winner next week EWW I mentioned FXI I mentioned IYR. So this is the real estate ETF We've got an adjusted strangle in here. So we've adjusted this one time Price is just kind of hanging out here on our lower end of our range We might potentially look to add to this one next week You know price comes back into range. We'll probably just you know keep keep watching it keep managing it But if it keeps lower, we'll probably add another centered strangle around that You can see like everything else right now implied volatility is nice and high So it's a good time to add and continue to to be in these positions Q's I mentioned XLE. So this is the oil and gas ETF Not much profit or loss there. So just waiting on that one XLU same thing strangle just waiting on that one XRT So this is one that we were about to break even to profit on to profitability on this one We've had a few different adjustments prices hanging out here on the lower end of the range. It continues lower We will probably roll our calls down And then maybe potentially add another piece to this trade as well So that's all the alerts. That's all of our positions that we've got going on I do want to get some more positions on here because we did close out quite a few which is good Because we booked those for profits But now we need to add some more on with with implied volatility popping its head back up So definitely look for some new opening trades early next week potentially GLD potentially adding to some of these that I mentioned SPY IWM, you know some of these stock indices will get into at least one or two more of those and Continue to keep the game going. So hope everybody has a great weekend and we'll talk to you next week


The Navy is anticipating the arrival of PCU-Zoom-Wall. In addition to the cutting-edge technology on board, the ship's Bridget Hall inflatable boats are getting an update as well. NSW has been utilizing the 11-meter riv variant for many years, and as they're phasing it out and going to the CCM, the boat is amazing. It's much more maneuverable than the standard 7-meter that Arleigh Birks and the cruisers are using in most other ships. And its versatility is amazing and the speed is great. Nothing better than doing 40 knots in a small boat on the water, you know? PCU-Zoom-Wall is expected to be commissioned and joined the fleet later this year. Stay tuned to all hands magazine for continuous coverage and updates on PCU-Zoom-Wall.

What's going on guys welcome to another video I'm very excited to bring you guys this video because there's been so many questions About this topic So very excited about this video right here. It's pretty late right now. It's around 12 o'clock I've had a really busy day, and I messed up for like an hour and a half You know I was going all day.  It's probably the biggest meal of eight in like a few months and I ate that bad boy I sat down for a minute because I'm gonna get to the gym like an hour after that and I just passed out You know I was exhausted. I've been so exhausted past a couple of days And I'm not really too mad at myself, but I woke up and it was like 10 1015 and like right when I woke up I looked at my phone and I saw the time and like literally like it just Boosted all this energy in me and I hopped up really fast like whoa because I'm not used to like wasting time like time So like important to me Especially with how hectic my schedule has been so I like freaked out and I hopped up And I went over there and got my surge stuff made a pre-workout and like went to the gym and now I'm back here Yeah, so today is a very important topic and it's something that you guys have been asking about and I'm very excited to show you guys So if you guys saw the beginning of the video of all those cool shots So all the questions that have been asked are you a 13 fishing? You know When do you start using 13 fishing? It's 13 fishing sponsoring you So many questions the past week about 13 fishing and Yes, I'm very excited to announce that I am partnered with 13 fishing now you know, I was making some some changes and I Got contacted again touch with 13 fishing Started talking to them and as you guys know I think it's very important to me that I don't promote anything that I don't believe in So that's that's something I just go by because I never want to be shown or never want to see as if I'm a sellout because that's That is not the case at all, you know everything I use I'm a avid, you know tournament angler I'm going in the college series. Am I here making videos for you guys? I want to be comfortable and confident with what the equipment that I'm using and so I recently just made this change I actually just signed on with 13 fishing a few days ago I think this is a great time to announce that I am with them so if that being said a lot of cool stuff on the way and Very excited to start this, you know, there's a lot of cool opportunities that I'm going to be working on with 13 fishing Sam he's actually doing all their marketing is doing all our social media is doing all their film work Photography we're gonna be working on a lot of good projects just like the beginning of this video You know, we're gonna be working on so many cool things to bring to you guys and bring value to you guys It's gonna be amazing, but going back to the topic. I was just talking about With the rods and reels. I've I know you guys have probably seen it You know, I've been messing around with a few of the reels and rods the past I'd say three months, you know It's been I put a big delay on it because this is something that's very important to me Seeing if I'm comfortable with the equipment I use seeing if I'm confident in using this equipment And so I took the equipment he shipped me out a lot of stuff to try out and you know I went out there search right now.  This is an upcoming brand. It's got a bunch of younger guys behind it They're really hardcore with getting everything rolling with the business and building it and expanding I love that because I love you know, you guys know how to promote ground ground ground ground building and I just love that love that factor about 13 fishing Well using some of the products over time and use them see how they work once I use this reel for a while Or see how smooth this cast how far this cast on how since of the rods are and After you know, two or three months. I made my solid decision that I'm gonna be going to 13 fishing and it just opens up so many doors to Me working with them and collaborating to bring awesome content to you guys. That's another big reason why I I think that is like a really big reason is You know every all the opportunities I'm gonna have with this company It's gonna be awesome.  I think they're really sensitive, you know, the castings amazing and I mean, there's an upcoming brand and they're coming out. They're coming out the door just shooting You know, I absolutely love that. I love how they're how they're coming out with stuff You know ideas ideas ideas. I just love that and Communications also a big thing with me was sponsors and I believe I can communicate with them very well And I just think it's gonna be amazing. I think it's gonna be great more details to come soon Let me know below if you guys want to see an unboxing So if you guys are wanting to see an unboxing of all the rods and reels that actually got by 13 fishing Let me know below Drop a like on this video and I definitely gonna do an unboxing video I probably want to use all the rods and reels that they gave me because there is a lot Just a penny I have some at home as well because my boat's actually at home And I was supposed to go to linear this weekend, but my boat is actually being worked on So with that being said, I'm not gonna be able to go this weekend also very busy as well So I'm gonna take this weekend to just put in the work and keep grinding and keep you know Getting a lot of schoolwork done videos stuffed on and bring you guys great content. So Yeah, but if you guys want to see that I can do an unboxing video I'm gonna talk about the rods and reels I'm getting and We can go from there. I mean they get they got me around 25 rods and reels on with varieties that can go over, you know The powers actions whole whole deal And I'll talk to you guys in depth about it Maybe even go out there do some casting tests and everything show you guys a little like the difference in the reels You know, there's so many things I can do with this and I think it's gonna be great One thing I really loved about You know looking into their brand and looking at their products is I think it's perfect And this is this is very important to me if I'm using a rod and reel And I know you guys are on a budget as you guys are on a budget So you're only one spin, you know around I mean who knows like 75 bucks on a combo You know, they had that they had those combos out there that can be around that money And they're actually really great combos because I mean I've tried out a lot of the stuff and I've tried You know top-of-the-line stuff that they make I've tried some of the inexpensive stuff and all of us just great And I think it's a really great opportunity for you guys, especially if you're on a budget to Try out some of those products So I'm gonna start experimenting with some of the inexpensive Stuff stuff that's a little more affordable for you guys and I'm gonna give you guys feedback on that But with that being said, they're actually in a lot of dick sporting goods. They're in academies. They're in dick sporting goods I mean you can find that's that's something that's very important to me because if I'm gonna show you guys Something and I was like yeah, go check it out at least like even if you're not gonna buy go check it out At least go look at it.  You know you guys are gonna be able Be able to go there and just see it right then and there And it'd be much easier for you guys to get your hands on it rather than the ordering it online because when it Most of the time when you order stuff online, I don't think I don't tend to you know order rods and reels online me personally But it's much easier when you guys can hold it in your hand and actually see what type of equipment it is But I just really wanted to discuss this topic just because it was something that people were asking all on Instagram I kind of came slow with it. I wasn't really wanting to just come out boom right then in there and say, oh I'm with 13 fishing so this past weekend when I did a vlog When I was talking about going out in the lake that Saturday I was talking about when I was saying with 13 fishing we're making some awesome content taking some cool pictures And that's actually what you saw at the beginning of this video some of the content that we filmed So a lot of cool stuff coming. I'm so excited to bring this to you guys because Not only am I getting a different opportunity to approaches but all like the great, you know film and stuff that we're gonna be making it's just gonna be top of the notch quality and I'm so excited for you know Thanksgiving break Christmas break to come So we'll be filming even more and we're gonna have all these things planned out and I have so many ideas in my in my head right now that I can bring you guys some amazing content and It's just gonna be awesome and overall guys. I just love you guys so much Thank you guys so much for the support if you guys haven't checked out Tuesday's video I'll leave the link below be sure to go check it out. I really I really suggest you guys go watch that video and Hopefully give you some motivation towards everything you're doing in your life And strive to be the best at everything just keep grinding keep pushing and just let's take over the world to spread positivity Throughout the world and I think that's very important. I think that's so important and those are topics I want to harp on and talk about and Spread the word spread greatness throughout, you know this world So that's pretty much all I wanted to say guys I didn't want to make this video too long for you just around the 10 minute mark and Just announce that I am partnered with 13 fishing now and I am gonna be working with them on some projects and I'm just gonna keep on getting familiar more familiar with the rods and reels and their whole setup and lineup that they have a Lot of big things coming so excited to bring it to you guys Overall, thank you guys so much for the support. Also, like I said, let me know below if you guys want to see the run real Unboxing be sure to smash that like button be sure to subscribe if you haven't already hit the little bell next to subscribe button so it sends you post notifications because you tuned suck lately. What's in our post notifications and We need to get this up and rolling guys But thank you guys so much for the support like I said, love you guys so much deep down in my heart You guys are the best fans ever and we need to take over this world together spread positivity Keep grinding and get some shit done. But thank you guys so much for watching. I'll catch you guys in the next


You know, I couldn't decide whether to talk about the Suez Canal, injection passports in New York, climate change policies, it all leads to the same conclusion. Everything is fake, staged for one end goal, New World Order, and the summary I like for the New World Order is a massive divide between the elites and everyone else. They sit in palaces eating caviar while we will live in pods eating bugs. They're in their own little bubble as they've always been. Speaking of which, most Americans are in their own little bubble, unable to escape the mind control mainstream media. Did you know Europe was in a third wave? Lockdowns return or are extended as third wave of COVID sweeps Europe. Evidence to ease restrictions have been rolled back in several countries, owing to new variants taking hold. Third, COVID wave hits Europe. Lockdowns imposed and vaccines remain a problem. Europe is continuing to struggle with the virus amid a third wave of infections and ramping up of lockdown measures. The region is dealing with a surge in cases more than a year after the coronavirus outbreak was declared a pandemic. At the same time, the black's vaccination rollout remains sluggish, hit by manufacturing issues and supplies snag. European Union leaders are meeting this week to discuss possible vaccine export bans. I've seen people make jokes like it's the year 2029 and it's the 737th wave of coronavirus. The rats are now wearing masks like ridiculous stuff. But at what point are the sheeple going to get up and say this is ridiculous?  No one has died outside of these empty hospitals. Imagine if they started staging deaths in the street, no not the one for the BLM stuff. One thing I'm curious about is how the media is not addressing the large portion of the population refusing to get injected. I would bet over half of the people especially in America are refusing and all they talk about is we don't have enough shots, oh everyone is begging, banging at the door to get our injection so we can return back to normal. I don't believe it for one second. No one should believe it for one second. They've had this injection ready for God knows how many decades. They know what exactly they need to put into people to make them easier to control. What's their play though? What happens when half the people don't get it? Do they shift gears? Is the Suez Canal being in the news the next step? One thing to always understand is whenever something is in the news or made available on any large platform they absolutely want you to see it. The news typically being some stage fake event. So why was the Suez Canal plastered all over mainstream media last week? Is it just crude oil manipulation? Secret society crooks padding their bank accounts for the inevitable economic crash? Is it something larger? A gigantic supply chain disruption for all of Europe? It is a little weird. The Dow Jones is at $33,000 with a market cap of $8.33 trillion. Pretty symbolical number to the crazies in charge. I mean how much do they have to rub it in our faces?  If I knew how to trade stocks I would probably buy puts or calls for everything to just dump. Especially the European market.  The ship in the Suez Canal has Evergreen written on it. Nursing home called Evergreen Court Home for Adults burned the same week killing a firefighter and a resident. The ship was en route to Rotterdam Netherlands before getting stuck and in July of 2020 Dutch police, aka the Netherlands, discovered a prison in which the torture chambers were converted shipping containers on cargo ships like the Evergreen.  Mass shootings all over the media which doesn't really make sense. The past week you would think it's the wild west and everyone has a pistol on their hip but on paper there's a mass shooting practically every week in Chicago. Why aren't those getting covered? Coincidentally, I'm getting emails about gun control articles, talks about policies that make it harder to arm yourselves. What we've been through so far, that could just be the trial run. They can really disrupt the supply chain, completely demolish the economy, zero food on the shelves for months at a time, usher people into smart cities to drink bug juice but in order to get your bug juice you have to be injected and hand over your guns. It's disgusting. Everyone is locked inside their homes like rats and these two freakazoid puppets are talking about the Green New Deal and how we have to drive in microwaves now. I'd love to shove you in a microwave oven.  Plenty of articles over the past day or two about new COVID variants in the United States so who knows if that's their next plan to keep people locked inside for the nicer weather. Who knows? They could bring an Ebola. This article scared me a bit. Governor DeWine, dozens of people in Ohio are currently being monitored for Ebola. The story isn't what scares me. It's the numeric coding. They're monitoring 44 people. 44 in Dematria is child. There's also Senate Bill 22 which strips some rights of the government to medically quarantine you against your will. It's being vetoed so they basically just want more power. 22 in Dematria means fake. Go figure. Again, I don't really have the brain for this, but the coding is usually hidden more than that. It could be a combination of the numeric values of the dates like November 1, 2020, 11, 1, 2020. You might have to add the numbers up or something. The name of the highway or the street, that word could mean something in Dematria. The latitude and longitude of the occurrence, the time, the name of a person. Everything is coded. Some is obvious, some is not. And there's definitely some coding with the Suez Canal that I don't know. The date the canal was created, the city that's next to it. There's so much that these crazy lunatics have all planned out in their... I don't want to go into it. The point is, don't watch the news, try to be as happy as possible. So thank you guys for joining me today. Let me know if you figured anything out about this. I guess what stock to buy next, right? Who knows?  Same thing with the people telling you to buy Bitcoin. Even if you bought Bitcoin when it was 4K, who would have held it... I mean, you buy Bitcoin at 4K, you would have surely sold it when it was a 10K. You went, now who knows? It's all manipulation. It's all controlled. It's all fake. I don't trust any of these people. So thank you guys for joining me today. Please drop a like on the video. Leave a comment down below. Subscribe so that YouTube can unsubscribe you next week. And above all, if you can, please share the video on social media. I'll see you guys for tomorrow.


Could I mate? What are you here? So it was interesting in that two-and-a-half minute video that Tucker Carlson released yesterday evening That he castigated TV for a lack of debate Apparently TV news isn't debating all sorts of important issues And that's amusing because Tucker's basically done away with debate on his show. That his show has just become monologues and guests who agree with him So 2018 was about the last year that Tucker Carlson's show had a significant debate So watching all of that John Mirshimer interview with Robert Ryde even joined Robert Ryde sub-stack to get the John Mirshimer overtime interview and It's just really good stuff. So they were discussing isolationism, which John Mirshimer defines as an unwillingness to shed American blood overseas for any reason. It doesn't mean that you withdraw from the world economically or culturally or diplomatically But it refers to as the unwillingness to shed blood overseas and John Mirshimer is not isolationist who wants to contain China and so he supports You know going to war with China if China tries to militarily take over Taiwan and He pushes Robert Ryde, where would you be willing to shed American lives and Robert Ryde says well because America has agreements of protection with South Korea and Japan and the Philippines and Then we should do it on those places also because we have American basis So Robert Ryde takes very legal approach to American interests while John Mirshimer takes Just a balance of power Approach is not nearly as concerned with the international law as Robert Ryde is so the whole 100 minutes of that discussion is Is very clarifying I mean John Mirshimer still at the top of his game and Mirshimer's coming out with a book in a few months About how nations operate I always read John Mirshimer's books whenever he releases one Then I was listening to all of the Chuck Johnson space on Tucker Carlson, and it's like three and a half hours Good stuff there. I mean listen to him skeptically Doesn't doesn't always make his his case Chuck Johnson knows a lot of people a lot of interesting people were showing up in the in the Twitter space Like people with extensive political backgrounds, so he's attracting an influential and Interesting group of followers who interact with them and finding value in what is what he has to say and Chuck Johnson is providing perspectives that I don't think I've heard Before and so some of them I think are quite important Least it's a challenge received ways of understanding the world Then he's got a follow-up space from yesterday on I think four hours on Tucker Carlson and Lee could So I haven't listened to that yet, but I'm looking forward to it


cover today. So welcome to today's event for recommendations to make your research code visible. Your wonderful speaker for today is going to be Paula Martinez, who is our software coordinator at the ARDC. But first let's quickly roll through some of that standard housekeeping stuff that we have while we're on Zoom in an online event. So firstly just acknowledgement of country and we acknowledge and celebrate the first Australians whose traditional lands we are meeting on here and we must pay our respect to their elders past present and emerging. So the ARDC, who are the key hosts of today's event, who are we? So our purpose is to provide Australian researchers with a competitive advantage through data. So what does that mean? We do try to provide various services, activities and initiatives to in bottom line is give you a competitive advantage through data and in your research. And today this event is just one example of that. You can also find out more via our website, which I will pop in the chat after I finish this introduction. So today of course Paula is your key presenter but we do have some co-hosts here which is myself. I'm Sonia. I am part of the Nectar Cloud team as a cloud skill specialist providing user support and training and other user support initiatives. I also have Sarah King from Arnett who will introduce herself and what Arnett does very shortly. But while I'm here just a quick plug for the Nectar Cloud. So this is a service that ARDC provides. It's a purpose built cloud for research. We have computing, storage applications and virtual desktop services for you to use. Great if you need to have some extra storage for your research that you may not have available to you locally on your computer. So I do have a website link there which you can check out for help materials, how to get started and to learn more. Now I'm going to hand over to our other co-host Sarah to introduce herself and give a brief overview of what Arnett is. Hi everyone, I'm Sarah. I'm the training and engagement leader. Arnett is Australia's advanced research network and we're the ones who interconnect Australian research and education institutions with our superfast internet. We connect everyone to each other and across that global research network to help people leverage the network. We offer cloud store as a file sync share and storage service that includes Swan which may be of interest to all of you today. It's a Jupiter notebooks hosting environment so you can code in the cloud. We also help with big data transfers so that you can access data from the world's most powerful telescopes if you like or supercomputing facilities. We also now offer cybersecurity to help the Australian Unis manage any incidents and we also offer training and I'll add a link in a sec and that's focused on demonstrating the services that we provide such as cloud store and Swan and understanding networks and data movements so if you're interested any of that please get in touch. Thank you Sarah and last but not least before we hand over to Paul just a few quick reminders. Standard sort of event structures so we are running this event via a code of conduct. I will also put a link to that in the chat basically we just want to have a safe happy environment everyone at this event. Again more details in that link in the chat. If you have any questions please just ask them in the chat and we will alert Paul to them as we go along and she can answer them and also please keep your mics muted just so we can continue running the presentation without any sort of noisy interruptions and of course last but not least this session is being recorded you may have seen that pop up when you first joined but only the speakers will be in focus so you shouldn't be featured on the recording and of course there will be some polls through the event as well so please do fill them out and Paul will just jump to them as they become relevant. Okay so last but not least the best part of the day we're handing over to Paul and she's our course as I said our software project coordinator and she's going to give you an overview into those four recommendations to make research code visible. I'll hand over to you Paul. Thank you very much thank you all for being here and for answering the poll. I'm going to share the results now to see who is in the room so we have a spread between students, PhD candidates, research assistants, early in middle career researchers, group leaders, librarians and other professional staff. I welcome you all here today for this topic. The ARDC software program initiated in 2021 and it came together in the form of a draft software research software agenda and it has the description of activities that will move to a cultural shift. This agenda has three layers which are C-shaped unsustain research software and the overall goal is to make research software, research software output as a main research digital object in the scholarly communications environment. This activity pertains to the layer C in the core course is sharing and availability. The target audience are the researchers and the primary driver is research integrity. Now I'd like to start the second poll. Okay so this other poll has only two questions and I'd like to see a little bit more in detail who is in the room, whether you write for or do you support researchers. I'll go to the next slide where you answer the poll and this is a quote that I would like to frame this presentation with. Research is now fundamentally connected to software. It permits every aspect of the conduct of research. This quote is from a recent article, the 10 software quotes that have revolutionized the history of science and you can read it with this DOI and the person who quoted that I quoted is Neil Truehorn the director of the Software Sustainability Institute. Thanks for answering the poll. Now I'll share the results. Most of you are writing code currently or soon to start writing code. This is excellent because I have in the recommendations some tips for you in various degrees of advancement, whether you are starting or whether you are already doing this and we will have time for questions at the end. The second quote that I'd like to frame this presentation in is a quote from the OECD, a recommendation that consents access to research data from public funding. It's been amended in 2021 to include not only data but also relevant metadata algorithms, code and software together with information on workflows and the computational environment used to generate published findings. We should be able to make available all of these components when we publish our research. Also to frame this discussion, you might hear me saying research software and I'd like you to understand the definition of research software that we are using for this presentation. Research software refers to source code files, algorithms, scripts, computational workflows and executables that were created in either of these two categories. A, we think a research project as a by-product to do the research. Or B, through intentional development of a software product for general use in research by one or more projects. So now those of you who are writing code might find yourself in one of those categories. This definition has been adapted from Gruppente at all from the FAIR4IS working group. The goals of this webinar are two, to offer you practical suggestions that can contribute to making research software and its source code more discoverable, reusable and transparent. And I'm going to explain why. I also want to discuss the alignment of these recommendations within the FAIR principles for research software. I'm going to cite them one by one along with the recommendations. I also like to note that I'm not going to be covering software development as practices, but I recommend anyone who's writing code to have a look at what are those. And also that these recommendations are to be taken as technology independent as possible. So I am going to cite some examples, but you as the author or the person who support the authors are the ones who are deciding, sorry, which technology to use.  So I'm going to summarize them here. The FAIR principles for data have been published in 2016, but then have been repurposed for the digital output research software. The main acronym is the same, stands for Findable Accessible Interoperable and Reusable, but has been modified to be adapted to the case. The FAIR principles for research software, I'm going to summarize them in these four points. For Findable, it refers to all the associated metadata. And the key part is that it's easy to find not only for humans, but also for machines. So any metadata should be readable and be exchangeable by machines. The accessibility principle relates to software and also its metadata to be retrievable by standardized protocols. And one of the recommendations touches upon this accessibility principle. Interoperability is the ability of software to interoperate with other software by exchanging data through APIs described through standards. The reusability principle is divided into two. And the first one is to be usable by providing an executable form of the software to the users. And the second one is to be reusable by providing the source code that can be understood, modified, built upon, or incorporated into all the software. You can read more about the FAIR principles for research software in the Research Data Alliance Output page. Now, going to the recommendations. This is for people who are supporting other researchers and for the researchers themselves. These four recommendations are based not exactly the same as this peer review article from 2017 by Jimenez et al. I should notice there are four authors that represent the Australian country and they have put their views because they have the influence to be able to make compliance about these recommendations. And that's why we intend with people in positions of decision making to represent these recommendations. And for all of those who want to dig more into their recommendations, because this is a short webinar, I also like to point to you the lesson that has been developed in 2018, has been delivered many times already in Europe and now in Australia. It has not only examples, but it has also the context for each of the recommendations and different cases where you might apply different options for the recommendations. The DOI for these four recommendations is listed here and is listed in all of the slides that are mentioning them. Now, let's go through the recommendations one by one. I have a few examples and how they align to the FAIR principles as well. The first recommendation is develop source code in a version control repository from the beginning of the project. And there are many dimensions to discuss about this recommendation. Initially, some people might ask, what is a repository? Well, a software repository, also named repo, is a storage location for your software. And you might decide where this storage location is. Ideally, this location and all your software project is in a version control system. A version control system is a software tool that enables management of your software and it tracks changes over time and it also tracks who the collaborators are. And it's mainly built for teams. And that's when I want to highlight point number three, the building software is not a task for a single individual. If you want your software to succeed, you will involve more people and we'll build it together. The next point of reflection is whether you want this control repository to be private or public. And I want to let that decision to the authors. You might decide to start privately and then make it public when you are ready. In the choices of version control systems, there are those that are self-hosted, which might be in your computer or in your cluster. And there are others more frequently used that are web-based. Being web-based enables platform independence. So that means that your collaborators might be working in a different platform than yours and you'll all be able to share your code independently of this. The next point of consideration is time is key. As I said, you decide when to start doing this, but I will recommend to start as early as possible because the longer it takes for you to bring your source code into a control repository, the more effort and time it will take you. And a motivation for those writing code is to increase transparency through community screening. You will realize that once you share your code and all those are able to see, it will push you to write better code, to write better documentation and to give more instructions to your users and collaborators. There are many things that we can discuss in this recommendation and in a normal lesson program this will take about two hours. I would like just to mention a few of the resources that you can use to implement this recommendation. Develop source code in a version control repository from the beginning of the project. So there are four version control systems that are web-based, that are free to use, are efficient, they have issue trackers, discussions and they have project management. Those are the most used are GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and GitT. These are not the only ones and I really encourage you to have a look before you decide. And I put this URL here, alternative to .NET in the category of developer tools version control systems. And here you will see all the features of different software tools and also recommendations from the community. So you are going to decide based on your needs and your community suggestions as well. Now, because this is a beginning webinar, I'll start from zero. If you have never put anything in a version control repository and now you decided that it's time to make it public, the first thing apart from your code lines is your readme. The readme information is everything people who are going to access your code need to understand it. For example, who developed it, who are the collaborators and also the licensing and how to site this software. This recommendation aligns to the fair principles mainly in the reusable principle. Reusable, as I said before and I'm going to repeat it, is both usable, can be executed and reusable, can be understood, modified, built upon and incorporated into all the software. The R1.2 in software is detailed with, is associated with detailed provenance. Using a version control system allows you to have this provenance and you don't have to track it yourself, you will use the system for that. Recommendation number two, adopt the license and comply with the license of third-party dependencies. As an author, you have all the rights to determine what are the terms of use, the terms of change, the terms of contributions and redistributions of your software. This has to be in your license. If you haven't done any licensing before, I recommend that your first point of questions should be the copyright officer in your institution. They know about licensing, they know about data licensing and all the digital outputs and their specific licenses for software. The second point of reference that I'll give you is go to this website, choose the license.com. It describes briefly some of the most used open source licenses and what their characteristics are. It asks you a few questions based on your needs and it describes what the best choice for you will be. The choice of license is a difficult one, but I might add that it depends. It depends on your circumstances, your project circumstances, your privacy and also your community standards. I also encourage you to rely on what the community has to say about licenses. Ask them, where do they put them, what other software are being used that might be needed to review the license when you add your own. For those of you in supporting roles, it is necessary for you to see what is the variety of licenses available before you advise the authors. I'd like you please to have a look at the SBDX license index list. It not only has the descriptions of the licenses, but it also has IDs.  What's the motivation of this licensing is to build trust and transparency and how software is created, distributed and consumed. It will respect your rights and respect the rights of reuse. Also for both, for authors and support staff, I recommend the ARDC research software rights management guide, which DOI is listed here. It's a short report of seven pages. It doesn't describe all of the licenses available, but it describes the families of licenses. So it's easier to understand what a family of license might do and what restrictions and liabilities does it have. To continue with a quote that I will rephrase, always license your code because unlicensed code is closed code. And also I'd like you to read this blog post. It's from someone who has been writing code for many years and it encourages you to put it out there. And from the previous website that I've already mentioned, the chooselicense.com, it has a tab that says no permission. And I'd like you to read that when you are considering not having a license. It means that no one can use your code. How does this recommendation aligns to the principles for research software? So it aligns with accessibility because if you have restrictions in your license, it might affect the accessibility of your software. It also clearly aligns with the reusability because in the terms and conditions of your license, you are either enabling or restricting how people might modify or be able to point into this software that you're putting out there. The R1.1 software is given a clear and accessible license. So it's one of the principles. And once you add that, you comply with this one. And the last one is software meets the main relevant community standards. As I said before, depending on your community, there might be some licenses that you are encouraged to use and all those not to use. Going back to the quote, finishing recommendation number two and introducing recommendation number three. Generally, when scientists make their code public, they do so because they want it to be free to use and as useful as possible for as many people as possible. So this is the mindset that I would like the most researchers will have. And that's why the recommendations align to this mindset. The recommendation number three and going back to the team building effort of software development. Define clear and transparent contribution, governance and communication processes. Your communication channels are the ways that will enable people to get involved. And then you have to think of three different target audience when you define these guidelines. First, think about your end uses. How are they going to interact with your software? Do they have every instruction they need to be able to download it, install it, and use it directly? Do they have test data sets, for example? Do they have instructions of what dependencies are needed? All of those are the guidelines that they might need and they should be clear. There is a different time of instructions that your collaborators might need that defines along with the license what their rights are and defines what they might do with your software. They might incorporate it into their own or they might add to yours to improve it and it should be defined clearly. Your evaluators or your software reviewers might need all the kinds of instructions and they might be more interested into the governance of your software. I know that at the beginning this might be too far away to think about, but the early you think about the governance, the better it is. In the second link, there are some other examples that are my side that are from very small projects to very large projects. One of the largest projects that is Community Build is the Galaxy project and it defines all of the sites in this recommendation. They have contribution guidelines, they have a governance map and they also have clear communication process for the different audiences. In the lesson, there is also a table that I encourage you to look about the governance and the levels of importance that they might have for your project. Because this importance will vary in your live project from the beginning to the middle or to the release or improvements of your project, you might have different things to look at in the governance. Going back to the previous citation, I might add from the same author, generally when scientists make their code public, they want others not only to use it but also to extend it, fix bugs, incorporate it into their own research code and thereby make it even more useful to more people. So that is the motivation for recommendation number three and how it aligns to the five principles for research. Software it aligns to two of the principles. The interoperable one, software reads, writes, and exchange data in a way that means the main relevant community standards. That might be in your communication processes, in your governance, if you allow for this to be built up in other software, etc., all the descriptions that are needed to interoperate with all the software. It also goes to reusable and the principle R3, software means the main community, domain relevant community standards. And that reinforces the principle that fair principles are domain specific and independent. So your domain might have standards that you might need to apply in order to write these communication processes and governance processes. Recommendation number four, we are almost there. It makes software easy to discover by providing software metadata by a community registry and this one is the one that wraps up most of the fair principles and that's why I consider it most important. First we need to describe what a registry is. So a registry stores information about the software. If you remember the previous definition of a repository is the location of your software project. So that's why sometimes a registry and a repository are in confusing terms because they might comply with both of the definitions. What a registry does to authors especially is facilitate discoverability of the research software. It will increase the visibility of the project and it increases the chances of collaboration, reuse and improvement. If you want to see what kind of metadata or information about your software it's needed to be public you can see the code meta project and you'll find lots of those things. Some of those might include the source code location, the authors and contributors, the license that you are using, the version of your software, the persistent identifier for your software and the references to all the outputs that your software is using or interacting with and also importantly how to cite the software. All of this it will be a landing page on your registry and it should expose metadata not only for humans to be able to read but also for machines to read and interact with others so they can gather information from one registry to another and expose it to a larger audience. The first recommendation here is go to your domain specific registry and I have a list here for you from the Netherlands East Science Center. It has a list of registries that are categorized by a domain or by a programming language and you are welcome to to choose from there or even add if you haven't found the one that you're looking for and then you know all those that might be looking for the same registry. The next topic of discussion about registries is that once you've decided to make it public and it's all with this metadata and people can find it you might also consider publishing your software not only as part of your data research paper but as a standard long research software article and here is a list of which journals you can have a look to where you can publish your software from the Software Sustainability Institute and do not forget the citation file is something that now you can add it to your repository and it might link directly to your registry so saving you a bit of time and enabling citation of your software. Now as I mentioned before this recommendation is the one that aligns to most of the principles so I have two slides for this. All of the findable principles aligned with this recommendation to make your software findable for example software is designed a globally unique and persistent identifier that should come from the registry. Authors don't need to think about this idea the registry should give one to you. Software is described with rich metadata you shouldn't be thinking of one metadata to add the registry should list all the metadata in the principles that are enabling findability of your software. Metadata clearly and explicitly includes the identifier of the software that they describe so once you have this ID it's included in the information of the software and this metadata are fair, surgical and indexable. To continue with the alignment of the fair principles accessibility software is retrievable by its identifier using a standardized communications protocol so the registry should enable the accessibility of this. Metadata are accessible even when the software is no longer available and that is an important point to have this separation between the registry and the repository. The repository might stop to exist in the future but the registry should contain the information about the software even if the software is not available. The I2 software includes qualified references to other objects that something the registry also should enable other objects such as data sets or their libraries and environments that the software needs to be able to operate and run. The R1 and R2 are for reusability software is described with a plurality of accurate and relevant attributes and those attributes you can see for example in code meta project. The R2 is very similar to the I1 where the software includes qualified references to other software so we are making a distinction between digital objects that are needed to run the software and other software that are specific referenced by your software and with that let me summarize the four recommendations which are developed software developed source code innovation control repository from the beginning of the project adopt the license and comply with the license of third party dependencies. Number three define clear and transparent contribution governance and communication processes and number four make software easy to discover by providing software metadata via community registry. Finalizing this presentation before I open up for questions I'd like to go back to the OACD recommendation amendment 2021 and and read this recommendation so if you are a person an author who develops software who writes code or those of you who are supporting the authors of research software take the steps to make research data and all the relevant digital objects from reusable and in the long term including the provision of high quality human readable machine actionable and open metadata and maintain and supported bespoke algorithms called software and workflows that are essential for their reuse of data for the publishing of your results. For authors my message to you and to keep you motivated is if you do these four recommendations it will increase the discoverability and visibility of your research software it will engage you as an author with the user communities it will provide recognition for you as an author and those who spend time contributing to your software and also it will be a trust among the users and those who are verifying and reviewing your software and my last slide for today is targeted to those in positions of decision making and how what are the next steps and how can you enable this recommendation so the paper also cites these three steps you can endorse them without any formal process you can support their recommendations number two the one that i'm doing now is actively publicizing and incentivizing their recommendations within my institution and beyond my institution and number three is compliance which is the formally implementation of these recommendations within the organization but not only that but also enabling monitoring and public reporting if possible with that i'd like to finish and open up for questions i think we have more than 15 minutes for questions this is my email and i'm very active on twitter you can find things that i share that are pertaining to the software program with these hashtags the research software au the fair for is and the visible research software and you can find the slides you are there as well and i'd also like to thank ardc for giving me the time to present to you today and answering your questions and you can contact ardc via their website subscribe to the newsletter and also find them on twitter and on youtube and and LinkedIn as well thank you thank you paula that was a wonderful presentation as paula said now we have plenty of time for questions so feel free to ask away and paul will answer as they they come through i would also invite people to comment if they are using the recommendations you i'm sure there's people who are new to this and i'm sure there those that have been doing this for years paula do you want to talk to some of the follow-up events that were mentioned in the event brought i can do that so as i mentioned before this webinar is time limited it's just one hour and i want to have the opportunity to answer questions but i know that the implementation of this recommendation goes directly to the users so i encourage communities to have their own events to answer questions to go into consultation or to have workshops um some of the people who have been in contact with us for follow-up events are the data task group in Tasmania and they are going to do a workshop about github passion control and so they will go through some of the steps including a readme and a license and how to use passion control for your software and there's also an event that the uq library is organizing at the moment i don't have the details yet but if someone wants to add them in the chat please do and our net is very supportive as you see is one of the co-hosts they also involve researchers at the early stages and you can also publish your notebook so if you use swan for example you can make your notebook available by the recommendations i mentioned we do have one question in the chat from susan so she said at what stage slash version would you attach a doi i will think that when the author thinks this is reusable then that's the version that they should publish while they are working towards that reusable version they they might have the version control of it but the dois we don't want proliferation of dois we want things that people are ready to find and reuse so the doi should be of that reusable version we've done all the tests where you where you know the software is useful when maybe you're ready to publish a paper along with that or you are preparing for that publication and we've also got another question and susan's just said thank you uh oh hold on sorry the chat is um jumping so one participant has asked can they request a session on a recommendation to make your research data visible i will say that most of the recommendations align to research data as well especially if you are bashing in your data you might be taking the first recommendation but making available publicly as soon as possible is one of the recommendations that are also needs a license in order to be of use and data might not be modified as frequently as software but putting some recommendations of of the usage of this data as internal conditions might be useful too um i addressed some comments in the chat discussing about sonodo and for those of you who don't know sonodo is a generic registry and it links directly to the version control system called github so yes you can use that combination to to provide your software with a persistent identifier and it also contains metadata for it um as i mentioned before and during the presentation i'll first recommend you to go into domain specific registry because if you are from a closed community let's say uh environmental sciences people will go through those registries before they go into a generic one can we have any any other further questions or we do um hey hello aula thanks for the presentation can you hear me yes i was wondering what what is your view you know a lot of people in research when they are developing their analysis uh there is like this trend to develop their analysis and maintain like a version control system like gith but then when they open their their code to everyone they delete the history of the commits right it's like a way it's like you know sometimes the intention that i see of some people is trying to show a clean uh you know it's like but do you have any view on that or but would be like the utility of seeing the history of commits and changes that you know any code has in the past thank you thanks for the question i should show my chockness um i don't think it's a good practice to delete the history of your commits because then you are deleting all the provenance of your software and the whole idea of using a version control system is to be able to track what has happened in during the development of this software is for when you want to recognize who made a specific change in the process there should be a commit for that and if that history is erased it's it's not showing a clean output i will say it's showing an incomplete output so i do recommend you keep all your history and it's it will be even more important that people see how long this has been evolving and how many changes and improvements this software has it's there another question uh richard um you've got your hand up uh feel free to unmute and ask away yeah i'll just um so one thing i often sort of struggle with because there's lots of different ways you can publicize and share your your tool and some of them are kind of pseudo citable or directly citable in their own right and i was wondering if you had any good resources out there for effectively sort of collecting all of the different citations you get and it's particularly pertinent when your tool is published or as otherwise associated with a journal article either in its own right or as part of a a study where you're also publishing the software tool and you want that to be the citation but people are possibly just citing it via the doi because it also has a doi and then obviously you're not getting that as your citation metrics which in an ideal world wouldn't matter but obviously in the real world um it does matter because you want to try and show people who are going to be employing you and things like that that you're actually um making an impact so i was wondering if you had any sort of comments or advice as to how to bring all of those things together or good ways of sort of keeping track of it or making sure that everything is funneled into the the same place if you see what i mean thank you i do have some comments and from different perspectives i think as a researcher the thing that will bring together all of your digital outputs will be your research id which is more generally your orchid so if you attach every single research output to your orchid then there will be fundable or in one place now about the citations i think you as an author in your readme file you are the one who defines what citation is best to use for the users because users are going to find the information that you buy first so if you put this is how you sign my software this is what they're going to do and then from the other perspective from those that are managers of different repositories there is already work and it's a challenging work to connect these research outputs some of those will link your paper to your software some of those will link dependencies of your software and i know this is working programs that they will link all the softwares that are related so that's also why one of the principles mentions explicitly references to other software and also to other digital objects to enable this compatibility and interaction between different systems and that's why it also needs to be machine readable because if we don't enable this machines will never find what we want them to find thanks for that question Richard do we have any other final questions sorry i've kept my video off because my internet is not stable that's right we have 10 minutes and please use this time also i'd like to shout out Leslie Weinborn has put recommendations from AGU guidelines for citation of software for publications specifically for authors and they have all the guidelines about that as well and which repositories to use they have a myriad of resources and i recommend you to have a look at the AGU page of resources well we just also had another question in the chat how do we know if our software is machine readable mainly we want the metadata to be machine readable so as long as you have added the description to your software into a registry they should enable the the machine readability by converting it to a format that all the registries can read understand and use so is it sure question that it's mentioned in the chat i haven't mentioned specifically in the presentation what is cff is the citation file format is a specific format that enables you to add what citation you want and goes directly to Richard's question when you have different identifiers that belong to the same object which one do you prioritize and you can do that with the cff and it has an integration with one of the most used version control systems and all those are trying to implement it too yeah i'm glad some people are already using it so they can describe the the experience as well final questions don't be shy you don't have to speak up if you don't want i can also answer in the chat and i am open for questions later on via email if you need to this is going to be recorded so the idea is to disseminate this information to all the institutions but i really recommend and please reach out to me if you want to do a specific workshop or follow-up event about these topics i will bring to you information that you can reuse and and also will help spreading the news by our newsletter while i wait for all the questions in the remaining minutes and i also add that the ARDC software program is enabling these activities via community work so we just started our community which is called the visible research software interest group and it's specific for people in supporting roles to be able to learn what is the policy around what is the current recommendation and how they might incentivize the users to promote visibility of research software so we will start another community that's more specific for researchers who quote and invite you all to contact me if you want to be part of this because i'm looking for co-hosts okay we have the chat maybe i'll put the link there so you can continue the discussion within a second i was still here paula we've got one more um question so it says are there any grants available specifically to fund this kind of essential work in biochem at least this kind of thing doesn't seem to have an obvious funding model thanks for that question just to continue once we finish this webinar i recommend you go to those discussion forum you add your questions i'll be monitoring about funding so funding is an issue and we have to admit that it needs to be changed there's a recent blog post from the research software alliance about funding and it details that funding is mostly for innovation but not as much for maintenance so we we as researchers who quote we need to demonstrate the need of maintaining it by demonstrating the number of uses that we have and the impact it's doing in science and some of those that i my side are international organizations but i i think it's better if i put the link there in the last panel that we have i know that some of them were funded by czi the chance i can be initiative and that is a funding scheme for sustainability of software but there might be others and i will put the link in the discussion so you can have a look there and discuss more in detail there are all the examples that are my side don't come right at this moment but i would recommend the more visible your software is the more it will incentivize order to maintain because of the need it's of its uses and its community with two minutes to go um unless there's more questions uh let's say thank you to everyone for coming today and being inactive and engaged group and of course thank you to our presenter paula did a fantastic job i'm giving us coverage of those four principles as well as our other co-host sara king as well as paul mentioned she did put a link to a github which has like a discussion page you can continue asking questions um there and i've just put it back at the bottom of the chat um and of course stay engaged uh with what we do we have more events coming down the pipe one in the future as well not only for uh you know software as well as things like uh vector cloud training um and of course you know shameless plug for what i'm doing as well uh so keep in touch on our event bright page check our website and whatnot um and thank you again paula and thank you again everyone uh for coming today thank you
