A series of papers, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine that largely discounted all but the highest quality randomized studies, reached a conclusion directly contrary to the public health advice we've heard for years. They suggested that we should continue our current consumption in both bread and processed meat. The authors based their exclusion of evidence on the so-called grade criteria, which were mainly developed for evaluating evidence from drug trials. We need randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials for drugs, but strictness of these criteria would probably cause evidence for just about every dietary, lifestyle, and environmental factor related to chronic disease to be graded as low or very low evidence. If the grade criteria were used to evaluate the evidence for other factors related to diets such as inadequate fruits and vegetables or too much soda or alcohol or whether or not exercise is good or safe sex or sleep, smoking, air pollution, none of the current recommendations on these issues would be supported by high or even moderate quality evidence using the drug trial criteria. But even after ignoring major parts of the available evidence, they still found an association between meat intake and an increased risk of cancer. And not just cancer, they found that adherence to dietary patterns lower in red or processed meat intake may result in a decreased risk for premature death. Cardiometabolic disease and mortality, meaning the risk of getting and dying of diseases like heart disease and type 2 diabetes, as well as the risk of getting cancer and dying from cancer. Yet they still concluded in their dietary guideline recommendations, continue your current red meat consumption, continue your processed meat consumption, forget the whole premature death thing, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, just keep eating your burgers and bacon. So you have these dietary guidelines developed by some self-appointed panel that are tent amount to promoting meat consumption despite their own findings that high consumption is harmful to health. How do they square that, contradicting the evidence generated from their own meta-analyses? There's only one body of evidence. They found the same risk that all the other reviews found. So they're not saying meat is less risky, they're just saying the risk is acceptable. Well, you do have to consider the risk and benefits. Well, we've covered the harms. Their own data show that moderate reduction in red and processed meat consumption can reduce total mortality by 13%, heart disease mortality by 14%, cancer mortality by 11% and type 2 diabetes risk by 24%. What are the benefits? In short, omnivores enjoy eating meat. Okay, given people's attachment to their meat-based diet, the associated risk reduction in our leading killers like cancer heart disease diabetes is not likely to provide sufficient motivation to reduce consumption of red meat or processed meat.  In fact, they even say straight out that unlike the other dietary guidelines suggesting we limit consumption of stuff because of like that cancer thing, these other guidelines have paid little or no attention to the reasons people eat meat. Whereas they did a systematic review of preferences regarding meat consumption and people who eat meat enjoy eating meat. Maybe that's even why they do it. They're generally unwilling to change their meat consumption even in response to health concerns. So with the panel belief, the panel you'll remember with generous support of a group getting millions every year from the meat industry, the panel believed that for the majority of individuals, the desirable effects like lowering your risk of family devastating cancer and heart attacks associated with reducing meat consumption probably do not outweigh the undesirable effects like having to give up all that yummy meat. This is what led them to make their recommendation to continue current consumption. Sounds like something straight out of the journal Meat Science. Why should we keep eating red meat? Because of the enjoyment. People also like to smoke. They like to drink soda. They like to have unsaved sex. I mean, it's kind of like saying we know motorcycle helmets can save lives, but some people still prefer the feeling of the wind in their hair. So let's just tell people to not wear helmets. But you'll actually see this argument, complying with dietary recommendations, imposes a taste cost on consumers. So how about socially desirable dietary recommendations that are most compatible with consumer preferences? You know, that best balance health benefits against taste cost. So like, hey, even if science told us that eating butter is unhealthy, its taste justifies the continuation of using it. What do you expect from NutriRex, the meat industry partnered panel also published a paper criticizing the sugar guidelines funded by the soda and candy industries. They aimed to produce nutritional guideline recommendations based on the preferences of patients. So what's next? Just telling people to eat doughnuts and ice cream all day? Yet the Annals published the meat papers with a press release saying, no need to reduce redder processed meat consumption for good health. Using the same methodology and rationale, they might as well have said, no need to quit smoking for good health, or no need to exercise for good health. As Dr. Katz, Director of Yale's Prevention Research Center, put it, guidelines opposing the very data on which they purport to be based are not science, they are anti-science.

Hi guys, so this is Buleya, the popular song and basically the song has three verses, one chorus and then there is a hook which I am sure you all remember the song by that. That I will teach you at the end. Let us first go through each section of the song. So we will do verse one, chorus, verse two, verse three and then the outro as well where there is pretty much the same as chorus you could say. So first of all let us do the verse, we will do it once together and then I will break it down as we slow it down. So the chords are D minor, F major, B flat, G. So I recommend that you follow verse one which I have written down, that is D minor, F major, B flat major and G minor. And then he repeats the same thing again. And then it goes to a nice turnaround where he goes to E flat major, so that part. So let us just do the whole verse a little slower please Naveen, D minor, B flat, G, E flat, A and it repeats once more and that takes us to the chorus. So that E flat and A is a very cool transition. So just remember E flat is not even in the key of this scale, this scale is D minor which borrows the chords of F major. So E flat just takes it to another world, sort of makes the music a little unstable and then A sus4 makes it even more sort of in an anticipation looking forward to the chorus and then we get to the chorus. So also note that the A chord is an A suspended four. So a suspended chord is not like a normal major. It's a major chord with a perfect fourth. So the third goes to the fourth. So let's now proceed towards the chorus of the song which I'm sure you guys all know. So again it's on D minor but the chords are a little simpler. So we'll just do it once and then I'll slow it down for you guys. So you're going D minor again F D flat. So that's your chorus chords D minor F and the rhythm pattern which I'm playing which you could perhaps apply for like the entire song could be something like. So that's a very guitar like rhythm which I'm playing on the keyboard. So if you wanted to write it down it's an eighth note pattern. So one and two and three and four. So you need to hit the on of the one, one and two and three and four and okay. So one and two and three and so on. So A minor C B flat and it will sound good even in the verses but maybe you want to mellow it down and save it for the chorus. So let's do verse two which is actually quite interesting because he sings a very unique tune a different tune and then he goes back to the original verse tune again. So I'm not going to repeat what I taught you earlier we'll just do the new verse. Again well almost all parts actually all parts of this song seem to start on D minor. So just remember that every section starts on D minor. If you make a mistake by any chance just come back to D minor. It's like the home chord in this song okay and from there you can use your ear and just make sure you're on the right track from that point on. Verse two let's just slow that down. I'll ask Navin to sing it a little later and I'll just tell you the chords right. So D minor again C major so just note you have D minor for four counts three four two more counts of D minor then C major then G minor B flat that's two counts and then an F major seventh.  So you go D minor, D minor again C major, G minor, B flat major, F major seventh and then you sort of repeat the same but it's a different chord change. D minor, F major, D minor, A minor, G minor, B flat major and you end with that same G minor B flat F, G minor B flat F major seventh it's just the first half with changes. So let's do it a little slower now with Navin so you can hear how it sounds with the singing in a slower version so try to play along if you've got the chords and so on right and then we go to the chorus right and then the female verse takes over which is again a very different tune so we'll have to go through that again so yeah even if you're a singer watching this video you have a lot of work to do because it's not like a normal pop song where you just have a verse and a chorus here there are three verses and one chorus so let's do verse three now okay and remember this is the female verse in the song which you'll see okay so it's a bit mellow so try to not play it too rhythmically during the female verse and then she also goes back to the verse one and so on so pretty much all the verses lead back to verse one verse one is just only verse one verse two you finish singing go back to verse one verse three you finish singing and go back to verse one right at least that's how I've mapped it out here verse one verse two female verse three okay so verse three actually has a lot of chords so we'll do it once with the singing and then I'll break it down and you should be able to follow one as usual so let's break this down D minor four counts G minor four counts C four counts F2 B flat B flat four again G minor then there's like a humming part where you just sort of continue G minor and A major again so I've written that out here this is like the instrumental part okay let's just do that line once please Navin slowly D minor G minor F B flat B flat again again D minor almost the same chords wait on A a little while back to your verse one okay and then after that verse happens as always the chorus and the last chorus where it gets very heavier um he keeps repeating words and he the vocalist also improvises so at that last chorus the chords are pretty much the same right if we can just do the last chorus sir Navin the row is basically the same as the chorus chords it's just D minor major G minor A minor C major there's a G with a B bass there and then he ends with a B flat major that's the chord G with B bass B flat and then coming back to our normal hook which is the instrumental part you can basically follow these notes this is the first line okay and then actually I've modified it a bit in the original the guitar goes but this is going to be slightly trickier on the piano and I think this also sounds quite good so this is what I this is my version of it or you could do it's slightly annoying however if you're in the key of E minor it'll be obviously a lot easier and then problem here is on D minor you have that B flat so I've modified it but I've anyways written down the original tune for you and then it gets faster right you do this one more time then faster not faster you just shorten it it's pretty much the idea and then the chords stay the same F B flat G minor you'll get a hang of the tune it's it's like really popular right so this is bullaya again again it's in conclusion there's the hook that part then you have three verses of course verse one is really popular then you have the chorus and the outro where the chords are almost the same is just the singer going really crazy right so again have fun playing this song and if you have any questions do leave them in the comments and we'll try and help you out cheers don't forget to like subscribe hit that bell icon for notifications leave us a comment for any other video you'd like us to do next and don't forget to share the video with all your musician friends cheers


I recently graduated from Franklin High School, the class of 21, and I will be attending Howard University this coming fall. I want to talk a little bit about arts learning and how it is a direct form of anti-racist work and self-care specifically for youth of color. During my junior year, right before we went to virtual learning for COVID, I was really struggling mentally. I was having a really hard time and I couldn't really figure out how to help myself. My director at school had asked me if I was doing anything artistic, if I was doing theater, theater, if I was singing, if I was expressing in some way, and my answer at the time was no. From this conversation, it helped me realize and reflect on how arts and creativity and different communities that encourage that and spaces have helped me grow and helped me mentally stay and really helped me become the person that I am today. Thinking about the academic spaces that I was part of at Franklin and the classes and activities that encourage forms of expression, specifically among youth of color and community with each other, those spaces have been extremely transformative for me and the other people that I was in those spaces with. So I'm really looking forward to seeing the ways that we continue to influence the arts into our academic spaces and how we can increase funding and support and really get into the city and find ways to find the ways that arts and creativity weave into our development as students and as young people in general, because it absolutely is a vital part of learning and being a person. Thank you.


It's a confidence that doesn't lead to recklessness because confidence that leads to recklessness Can be a major risk management issue. I think it's been positioned in the market as if you just do these three simple things That's all you're going to need to be successful But that's on top of many many other things that are required of that aren't so simple from same-say markets This is the awful try You have an opportunity to change it. Is it something that was wrong in the process or is it something that we didn't follow that the process told us? Hello and welcome to the artful trader. I'm Michael McCarthy chief market strategist at CMC Markets Asia Pacific In our third season we talked to the experts in their own fields to uncover what gives them the confidence to succeed We uncovered confidence Unlocking the secrets behind resilience, preparation and growth and how it can make you a better trader One of the best and maybe the worst things about talking to traders is that once you get them started Sometimes you just can't get them to stop. Well today. We have an artful trader first We'll be talking to two guests Dave Floyd and returning star John Netto Both are great traders and as it turns out great friends Dave Floyd has over two decades of experience in the markets and founded the Aspen trading group John Netto is the founder of the Netto number He authored the global macro edge which he discussed with some of our clients in a session here in Sydney as a follow-up to the Artful trader season 2 we kick off this episode with each of them separately and then bring Dave and John back into a group discussion To chat through his strategy defining risk and their own experiences of the markets. This is a really unique session And I hope you enjoy it It's my pleasure today to welcome back one of our few returning guests We try to cover a lot of territory in the Artful Trader podcast and for that reason we have a wide variety of guests But we knew John Netto had more to tell and we had more to learn Bit of background first how important is knowing yourself and knowing your style and trading? I think it's essential and knowing yourself and knowing your style it um, you know when I understand my personality having been someone that's taken on risk for pretty much all of my Sentient life, you know as long as I can remember being someone who can think and breathe and eat the idea of risk always had appeal whether it was you know betting on American football or whether it was the market or whether it was You know the outcome of some personal life event Knowing what that risk was and being able to define that brought a sense of comfort And so what I know about myself and why I define things on a return per unit of risk basis It's because I know that the way that I mitigate anxiety the way I mitigate Acting out of impulse or breaking a plan is by Understanding and defining what my risk is into a trade then once I'm comfortable with that risk Now the anxiety can be reduced because now I've made this a numbers game Is if I the same way I would play poker or the same way that you set up a budget? Having a risk budget per trade per portfolio per strategy is both a factor of knowing myself And also frankly a byproduct of a better way to invest John for those who haven't had a chance to go through the global macro edge one of the key Revelations there is that standardization of risk units This is a big step forward for the trading world and it reads as if this is very central to your trading approach It is you know the book is called the global macro edge Maximizing return per unit of risk not maximizing returns not maximizing profits not you know trade from a yacht It's about in advance Defining what it is you're willing to risk on a position having a strategy and risk comes in a couple of ways Risk comes in the size of the you're risking I mean in the position bet whether it's a percent of the portfolio Whether it's a volatility target that you're making but whatever it is It is an amount that you determine in advance and that you adhere to it comes from having a plan And I think again going back to the whole risk budget thing the risk budget is a microcosm of a plan in general What are you going to do when your portfolio hits this threshold? What are you going to do in the if the market reacts in this way now again? It's it's logistically maybe not not feasible that you can plan every single scenario But having multiple scenarios Planned from both a trading perspective and from just a business perspective goes a long way to easing one's uncertainty One's doubt and if you can mitigate that you could trade with a lot more confidence You stress a real difference between risky trades and risk-defined trades. No, that's a great question Michael. Thank you You know People in general you see a lot of disclaimers about trade and the talk about trading can be risky Or you see people speak almost too casually or almost flippantly about oh the market is risky And what they fail to do when they say that is they fail to categorize What risky is whereas Mike you and I and many of the CMC listeners and many people from CMC markets listening to this Are in the business of making risk-defined trades risk-defined trades at a very granular level You know have through research through diligence through a plan through experience through understanding the novel aspects of the market Through understanding the idiosyncrasies of a market look to exploit Edges that exist from these anomalies in the market and they look to exploit those edges by defining the risk in a trade For example, if there's a 35 percent chance that this will happen But you can make four to one on your money Then that's a risk-defined trade that gives you a chance of making money or a chance of Achieving a positive expected return and so the idea that oh you're taking on risk But are you taking on risk for the sake of taking on risk or are you taking on risk based more out of impulse? Are you taking risk based more out of process and risk-defined trades take on trades based out of process? Sticking to your process is one of the key disciplines for you It is and part of my process is being open the process needs to evolve There's a fine line between being stubborn and or being being confident in your system And then just flat out not adapting and it's funny because X post You know after the fact anyone can tell you that if you're in a position and if it you know when it's profitable Then it goes against you, you know You'll hear the the saying oh you can never go broke taking a profit on the other hand If you're in a position and you take profits and it keeps running Then you'll hear the people say oh you got to let your winners run and everyone can say this after the fact Everyone can come up with these I'll keep your losses small or oh don't ever trade with stops or oh Don't you know all these things after the fact what I try and do is look at what I'm doing and start with a big question first How do I make money at this all right because as we talked about last year in the second season Michael Analyzing the market and making money from that is a completely different skill set John You've said in the past that you're genetically predisposed to taking risks Is that true? Were you born to trade? Well, um, I can't speak extensively to my DNA sequencing But I do feel anecdotally That given my behavior of placing my first sports bed at the edge of eight The fact that like I read my first book on derivatives at 12 and ran a bookie operation in high school Or as I say provided liquidity to those wishing to prognostic it on the outcome of sporting events Given that set of anecdotal behavior and I guess in this case empirical when you look at some of my sports betting Performance, it's very likely that I was predisposed or am predisposed to take on risk and given that I guess you can Have found my calling indeed You've always had a lot of confidence in your trading John. Does it come and go? Yeah, I don't know if I've always had a lot of confidence in my trading I'm the confidence waivers with invariably with with some of the highs and lows I mean, I've had a lot of existential questions about my trade I think like everyone else and I can convey one thing to everyone here is that no matter how Great a trader is that at some point time or more likely than not many points in time they've had questions about the the efficacy of their strategy and and More existentially to what degree they would be around in this business And this is not something that I can say that I have so gracefully escaped in the last 20 years and multiple times Even during major win streaks, you know, we're all emotional creatures. Okay, we all have Self-doubt doubt is healthy actually. I think doubt can be the fuel for greater creativity for greater innovation I think what you want to be aware of is that that self-doubt is natural and normal It's overconfidence is probably more problematic So, you know, I definitely have confidence, but the balance between that is like a quiet confidence It's a confidence that doesn't lead to recklessness because confidence that leads to recklessness Can be a major risk management issue. That was John Netto and now it's my pleasure to introduce Dave Floyd Dave thanks very much for joining us for the Artful Trader podcast in trading circles You're very well known and past Artful Trader guests including John Netto and Ralph Powell are very familiar with your work Given your fame, especially with the Aspen trading group. Let's cut to the chase. What does it take to become a successful trader? Well easy questions first I think there's an element that you have to have to be successful that you're probably either born with or just simply not born with And that is the kind of the emotional Or the what they would call the emotional IQ or the EQ and that really boils down to discipline and patience I think that might be able to be learned over time But I think some people just either have that or don't have that I think people can learn the basic rules of trading but In order to be confident and to be successful in the long run It does take the combination of the process part which can be learned for the most part and then integrating that in with your experience feel Patience and discipline and you know for me. I know that's why I'm still in the industry. I'm very very patient I can go a long period of time without making a trade because at the end of the day Our job as traders isn't necessarily to you know use them use the market like an ATM machine It would be nice to do that But markets don't work like that and a lot of people approach them as if well if the markets are open There must be something to do and that might be true for the trader down the street or the trader down it You know at a different bank because their style is conducive to what's happening in the market But you know for me I could go a week two weeks without making a trade and and that's okay A lot of people get really uncomfortable with that. I Would say that the old adage of traders make 80% of their money 20% of the time It's probably a pretty fair pretty fair assessment And if you can get your head around that and be patient and be disciplined You can be successful as a trader for sure But you've got to get over that initial hump and you've got to go through a long period of time Where you kind of perfect your craft and there are a lot of misconceptions that particularly new traders bring to the market Dave you've just highlighted a key one there trading is not a salary-generating business What are some of the other misconceptions you think are popularly held? Well, I think it you know probably cuts across every industry because we're human beings at the end of the day And human beings want the path of least resistance. It's a natural thing. I mean you look at the diet industry You know three simple steps to lose 50 pounds well, yeah, but you've also got to do this and you've got to stick to the plan and Again, everybody wants the quick fix Trading is has been sold that for as long as I've been in the industry I think it's been positioned in the market as if you just do these three simple things That's all you're going to need to be successful There's an element of truth. There are probably three simple things you do need to do as a trader But that's on top of many many other things that Are required that aren't so simple What building blocks can new traders put in place? What do you think they should be focusing on if you can if you've got the wherewithal to kind of define? How you want to trade meaning that do I want to be a intraday trader? Do I want to be a swing trader? Do I want to be an investor if you can identify that? Then you can start to look and say, you know, who could I emulate to kind of get me off the ground? Well, this this person over here seems to trade in a manner that seems consistent with my risk tolerance my time frame Maybe I'll learn a few tricks of the trade and follow along may nothing beats emulating someone else early on But then you eventually kind of develop your own trading style that's conducive to who you are But you do have to get off the ground and when I started day trading I had some ideas of what would make money But my confidence wasn't there because I hadn't didn't have enough You know swings at the bat so to speak to know that if I press the button on the computer and got filled If that would work out, you know, it's the classic fear a lot of people don't make successful trades because they're fearful They don't know enough or they think they don't know enough So how does a new or tried or even an experience try to bounce back from a big loss? Well, it's a great question and we all go through losing periods for me, I Don't have big losing periods and what I mean by that is I'm never position sized So that if everything goes to a correlation of one or if I have four or five losing trades in a row, which is it does happen You know, maybe statistically, it's a little less likely than having two or three losing trades in a row But if that does happen my drawdown from a mathematical perspective is I can recover from it not only financially, but also mentally, I mean we've all seen the drawdown tables and you know Once you start getting to 15-20% drawdown not only mathematically is it very hard to come back But think about where your mental state is at that point in time, you know, you're beaten up and bruised so even if you are Willing to get back on the horse. Trust me, you're gonna be gun shy You're probably not gonna size up your next trade properly It's gonna be lighter and of course that'll be the trade that really works well And you won't be positioned properly to you know regain your capital So I think it's more of a I think the my answer to your question is more of a function of how do you size your trade so that you Don't dig yourself a big hole in the event of one of those losing streaks Because if you can prevent that You can get back to square one and then beyond because you we're all gonna hit those losing streaks We're all gonna have four or five losing trades in a row. It's inevitable. It's a question of Can you get recovered from it and for me personally? I never risked more than 1% of my total capital Well, maybe one one and a half percent if I'm really convinced on the trade and that keeps me from if I'm down You know five or six trades in a row. I'm down five seven percent Maybe ten percent if I had a couple of beefier positions, I can get back from that Mentally and mathematically so your trading plan takes into account that you need to protect your confidence in the market Absolutely, I mean I vary my bet size on every trade I know John will probably talk about this in his portion and we'll probably talk about it when we come back in and talk all at once but Every trade I put on the the bet size is always commensurate with where my stop losses And if you know where your stop losses, you know exactly how many lots you should be trading So that if you do get stepped out or stopped out, you're not surpassing that that that risk level on a per trade basis All right. Well, that sounds like a good place to bring John back into the conversation if that's all right with you Dave Sure, Mike, let me tell you one thing. Okay. It's always a good place to bring John Neto back into the conversation. All right Excellent well, I'd like to go back to something you said earlier John You talked about the development of your trading style and drill parallel with your development as a human being now I was a market maker in options on the old ASX trading floor a couple of decades ago And in one of those quiet periods that hit every trading floor one of the other traders turned to me and said I love trading because it teaches you so much about yourself Dave what's trading taught you about yourself? Oh God lots of things. It's It exposes every, you know weakness and strength that you have It's part of the reason I've been in this industry for so long is It's taught me to be respectful that you can't possibly account for everything that could go wrong Some things will happen. You will have bad trades and you'll have series of bad trades But I think on the positive side is that if you really focus in on Where you're good and are willing to stick with that even during the quiet periods and not jump around and get bored That's when you start to really increase your confidence. What I've learned is that Not every hour watching the market is the same an hour watch in the market where I'm actively thinking actively engaging Could be Exponentially more beneficial than an hour where I'm like reading email. I'm surfing the net.  You know what I mean or whatever like so that that time is really critical To that to developing Your trading style, you know, I know people that have been trading for 20 years and I'm not sure they're much better In the last 10 years just given kind of some of the things they say, you know Part of working on your craft is what are you doing today to get better? What are you doing today to improve your process or at least in this next quarter in this next six months? what's part of your plan for professional development and And so what I've learned is that when I don't do that when I'm not looking to actively improve and I'm not looking to develop I can stagnate and stagnation leads to complacency and it leads to not asking the right questions and missing opportunities It's like man if I would have just done this and again, we all say that but I try and say it in a self-reflective way in a To get better. Okay. What could I have done today? You know what? Why didn't I do that? Well for the third time now? I said that I should be You know doing a better job of Memorializing the time and frequency of Trump tweets compared to its influence on the US dollar You know what I mean and I should have a better database of this stuff But that's one example right there, you know And I yes, I've kept a database of Trump tweets and I've put a qualitative analysis behind it But there's still further things which I'm gonna keep for myself that I can be doing to make that better And so though that's an example of identifying what regime we're in and then are you making? idiosyncratic adjustments nuance adjustments that acknowledge that to make yourself or give yourself a better chance of success One of the thoughts I was having as John was talking about that We are so inundated with information as traders We have anything we want kind of at our fingertips nowadays So it's very easy to you know try to take in a lot like it's like drinking from a fire hose The fact of the matter is our brains have not evolved to be Engaging in multitasking the way that our society says we should be now The data is pretty clear that if you're multitasking you're not doing you're not being as effective at whatever it is You're doing whether it be trading it could be writing a book It could whatever the craft is you might be sitting there doing some deep analysis on a chart You're really integrating in some quantitative analysis and whatever else and Your email buzzer goes off and you immediately stop and go look at the email and you're like well I only took 30 seconds. So let's go right back to where I was You've lost So much of that mental energy and I can't really describe it the way they did in the in the study Other than to say that if you do that you're really really doing yourself a disservice Maintain that focus and don't multitask. That's the takeaway the again the research is as about as clear as it gets It's not even open for debate Don't multitask. You'll be a far more effective trader Well, it's not a surprise in speaking with highly successful traders that focus discipline Process are words that keep coming up that perhaps a little more surprising though Is that both of you incorporate intuition into your trading style now? That's something that Well metaphorically at least was beaten out of me as a young trader trading on your gut was considered an error And you're certainly not talking about that style of trading where you just think it's going up Let's buy some, you know, clearly you're doing it within a process and within a discipline framework But what tipped you off that your feelings and intuitions were important to your trading success? Too many instances of ignoring it and then seeing what the outcome was either ignoring Getting out of a trade that I was in but I still liked it But my gut was like, you know what I just not feeling comfortable here or getting that that gut feeling and not Executing the trade to get into the trade and then you know a few days later.  I mean, I'm already thinking about it anyways It's not like out of the blue. I'm like, I'm gonna get long dollar yen. Well dollar yen wasn't even on my radar It's about something that I'm already hammering away at and looking for that entry point and then suddenly you're like Let's go for it and inevitably they work out really well. It's almost like you nail it to the to the tick You know, I have to echo a lot of what Dave says there. That's okay to echo what I have to say I got a lot of good insights. You've been tremendous inside Almost as good as mine even I'm gonna draw an American sports metaphor to kind of bring this one home and you look at some of the greatest US quarterbacks or if we want to go more on an international scale some of the great, you know Four words or we look at Lionel Messi and Lionel Messi for Barcelona Is a facilitator. He's allowed to use his intuition on the field now Barcelona plays a very specific style They like passing the ball. They have a lot of possession. They have 65 to 75 percent possession And Messi is a you know facilitator on the right wing and he uses his left foot to come back across the field and And set up and facilitate the ball for other players great US quarterbacks have an intricate offense But they do what's called audible when they get to the line of scrimmage they see the defense they see what's happening and they use their years of experience on top of a Foundational approach of play calls to then determine when appropriate It's not every time that you come to the line of scrimmage and American football and you audible or in essence You change the play. All right, but what Dave is talking about is an objective appreciation of Specific market circumstances that are a combination of how he uses his craft how I use my craft as well as an Understanding that this is something unique here. That's not readily quantifiable and so intuition is Yes, the the external manifestation of our internal analysis based on both Fundamental rigor and qualitative interpretation. That's the best way to describe it. Seriously, you're welcome. Yeah No, that was really good. There's really good and I like the quarterback analogy. That's absolutely true They're looking at and going okay. I've seen this before I got to make that adjustment exactly That's the Mike linebacker. They're coming their blitz on the left side running back picking them up 27 Bravo Boom, I have a hot rod. Who's my hot receiver on this blitz?  I think what Dave and I really you're stressing here is just how much we prepare Okay, knowing our strengths, you know, I know that my strength is I'm very good at taking on outsized risk when the situation calls Not everyone can do that. Okay, Dave has tremendous patience. He's extremely procedural. He's very Process-driven. Okay, but at the same time a lot of intuition So we know our strengths and we build systems around we build our style around we build a risk management methodology around these specific factors and and it's why we've experienced the success that we have I always try to Think of my day-to-day trading as simply another chapter in the book You know, the markets don't change very much on a day-to-day week-to-week basis. I mean they make changes over time But again, if you're sticking with the net for me, at least if you stick with a narrow list of securities that you're trading, you know For me, it's five or six FX pairs the S&P's tenure notes and then You know, occasionally another broad-based ETF Every day is just kind of like a new chapter in the book or a new even a new page in the chapter Not much has changed, but you wake up and you're like, okay It's kind of where we were yesterday. I thought this might happen So you're building that narrative and then when the when you get when you get enough information Just like when you get towards the end of the book You start to maybe figure out who the who done it in terms of the the murder mystery and you've got real Conviction because you've kind of been feeding yourself bits of information along the way, you know, develop that narrative day in and day out Some days it's going to be really really boring But again on that day where it's not boring your conviction level is going to be much higher the intuition is going to come through more and I think that's the more realistic way to approach the market You know a lot of the guys and a few gals that I know that are at the top of their game at really big hedge funds They're not running scans every night to find out what to trade the next day. Their mandate is real simple You trade euro and dollar yen That's all you trade So, you know, if the big hedge funds are telling their individual traders and their analysts to keep a narrow focus Probably not a bad idea to follow the Paul Tudor Jones is in the Citadel and that kind of business model At least in terms of the ethos that they're promoting I'd say you get to be sitting where I am 20 plus years into the game and still saying I've made it I've done well and I'm still continuing to learn because it's an unfolding process It takes time and you're never going to perfect it, but you do get better. I think that's a perfect note first to finish on Thank you Dave. Thank you John.

the tasks of a theory of social conflict. It is an approach based on postulating some social changes and a social conflict, specifically with the help of the dysfunctionality of all the elements of social structure and the constrating character of social unity. If we want to understand the theory of social conflict for our own sake, and see what the task of it is, then we should understand it in such a way that it is such an approach, it is such a view, which has been explained in a very clear way. That the relationship between social change and social conflict is the discussion we get. Now, why is it necessary to understand the discussion of social change and social conflict? Because wherever, in the whole world, in any of the conditions, between social conflict and social change, when there is a phase where there is a dysfunctionality, that people are asking for social change, but due to the presence of social conflict, the system is not capable of working properly, and because of this dysfunctionality, the social conflict rises more and more. There is such a phase between people, where we have seen many times in the world, that because of social conflict, not only the system is affected, but the conditions in the society have been created that the relationships between the two have deteriorated that the conditions have gone towards such a change, which is not suitable. Similarly, we can say that what are the major requirements for the theory building? It should be a scientific theory, as a theory of social integration. As a basis, the social integration, like it is necessary for that philosophy, for the theory of social conflict, for such conditions, for such characteristics, that it must be formulated with reference to a plausible and democratable, demonstrable explanations of empirical phenomena. For the theory of social conflict, we need empirical evidence that whenever there is a social change and there is a social conflict, there will be such a phase where there will be no cooperation between people, there will be no consensus between people. So, will the conditions go towards the same every time? Until there are many empirical evidences, we cannot say that there will always be such an outcome in every situation. Because the elements of the theory should not contradict the conflict model of society. Because there are different categories which we can be applicable, which we can discuss with this specific context, that the integration theory, that is also relevant, and then the conflict theory should enable us to derive social conflicts from structural arrangements and then they can be related to the conflicts systematically generated. Now, look at what we are trying to understand. Instead of very difficult terminology, if we can explain this to ourselves in an easy way, we can explain to ourselves that the people who live in every place, the people who are refugees, the people who are in the society, there are some structural arrangements in that society. Now, at times, there can be conflicts within those structural arrangements. And at times, this conflict systematically rises in both ways. That is, at times there can be conflicts in the system, at times there can be conflicts within the process. So, if there are such conditions between the two, and at times this can also be combined with both, that is, the process and structure that can be created within the conflict moisture. So, if there are such conditions, then that conflict will become more intense. So, there are some important questions and with the help of these questions, we can understand this basic philosophy and its tasks of the theory of social conflict. So, number one question that, how do conflicting groups arise from the structure of the society? Now, there is a structure of any moisture that is basically working within every moisture and structure. There is authority, there is a system that applies authority, there are rules and regulations. Now, how do conflicts arise when there is a structure within a moisture? Then, what forms can the struggles among such groups assume? Now, when there are conflicting groups in the moisture, now, in these conflicting groups, what is the way to establish that they are involved in struggle with each other? So, if in the moisture, different systems are working, the moisture system, the moral system, there is poverty, there is education, there is health and society overall, a whole system is operating. Then, how will clash arise? Basically, we have to understand this. So, how does a conflict among such groups affect a change in the social structures? Now, when conflict arises, then how will it influence these groups? Now, a simple formula for all these questions that we can understand, that there is a conflict in every place which is them and us, you and I, that or we. If we understand this, that everyone among us is trying to establish his or her share. Similarly, the other one is also trying to establish his or her share. His or her share is ours. Wherever there is a conflict, conflict will arise. Now, we have to see whether the system has the ability to settle down that conflict and settle down in time. If the system doesn't settle down in time, then the conflict that can arise, then it will be converted into the system. And it can be converted into the system. It can involve many groups as well. That is, it can be converted into political parties starting from the political parties. It can also be converted into the political parties on an ethnic basis. If the mechanism of protecting those people is not available and the mechanism is there too but if it doesn't settle down in time, then what is the mechanism? The availability of the mechanism is important. And the solution is also important. And the most important thing is who is organizing this whole thing. Who has the power authority who wind up all these things and look after all these things. So proper structure is important and functioning is more important than that.


Okay, so anybody following along Firefox worked in Chrome did not so there we go. Okay, so yeah, basically, I am here to talk to you guys about the new logo and I'm going to be looking down because I have two screens and I actually normally have three screens and this little USB converter HDMI thing basically blew a transformer yesterday, which is awesome. That's all right. So, yes, I am not going to rehash sort of like the new logo and why and all that stuff. There is actually a council presentation that I gave a while back that's on YouTube if you just search for Fedora Council logo it pops right up and I already go into all the history of that stuff. So I was meaning for this talk to be more about an update on what we talked about during that council presentation and sort of where we're going with the new logo. What is some of the ongoing work and then how you can help with sort of the new logo roll out effort. So, yes, and spot the new logo isn't about Tom Calloway. This is that repo. It's actually about spot like spotting things finding them, which I believe is the origin of of Tom's nickname because he's very easy to spot because he's a tall fellow. But yeah, so I guess the first thing is I want to talk through. When did the logo change. We started rolling out the local actually here I'll just start with first things first. This is our logo transition timeline. We followed it pretty well. I wouldn't say we've been exactly in lockstep with it, but this was sort of the basic plan. We don't intend to destroy existing materials. If you want to hold on to them, please do. We do intend to produce on an ongoing basis fedora classic swag. So one ticket I wanted to show you guys is the fedora classic logo work that we've been working on and I don't know why pagura is not loading images, but that's okay. Let's see if I can force the issue here. So these are some mock ups of the fedora classic logo. Do should we have a poll. Oh, for the classic that might be a good idea. I don't know if anybody has a preference here. Just a inspo thing. So we were thinking about something like large soft drink company classic style hand lettering with like swirls and kind of including the logo on that. Another approach could be something more like a classic car where it's sort of more geometrical maybe and kind of 1940s style. I don't just have a variety of classic logos too. I don't know if I can actually start a poll. I guess I can. Okay, so question. What approach to fedora classic logos do you prefer and the option would be soft drink classic. See how careful I'm being. Classic car classic both neither. Okay, there you go. You got a poll. Great idea Maria. Okay, so yeah the classic logo ticket is 759. I can drop that in the chat. Also like I mean if anybody I don't like presenting by myself if anybody wants to jump on the video please feel free I could also use help just moderating and like doing stuff. I'm sorry this is a little a bit of a scattered mess and that ticket here 759 so I'm going to drop that in the chat so you have that that's the classic one. So that's sort of a work in progress and I mean we kind of basically want to keep the old logo live because people definitely really like it and it might be nice. You know we were thinking about for example, we could start a new fedora badge it's like an old timer's badge so once you've been around the fedora project for like a certain number of years or something like that then you could apply to get the old timers badge and it's the fedora classic logo or something like that so kind of a neat idea I think. Okay, so then other stuff we have here. Fedora classic design so that so yeah so this is something we wanted to immediately and we underestimated the amount of time it would take to create a fedora classic design so that is sort of something the swag for the fedora classic logos basically something we'll probably launch once the logo is ready. We do have a new fedora diversity sticker sheet with the new logo, at least we have the design I don't know if it's sent to print yet. Maybe it'll be in the secret classified, you know, for a swag kit for flock. As needed so from from actually f 34 like a little bit before f 34 is released actually as new requests come into the fedora design team. We design materials with the new logo by default now. So if you have a new request for the fedora design team. That's what you should expect we're not designing any new materials using the old logo. From f 34 beta, we started packaging it in the distro itself. There should not be any spots in the distro whereby default you see the old logo. We did maintain the classic logo in not the classic logo but the old logo. We did maintain that in the packages in case anybody wanted to swap it out or they were depending on it for something else. You know, it might be nice to pop it out as a separate package maybe but we didn't we wanted to minimize change and minimize risk for breaking anything so. Okay, and then we started roll out with fedora 34 the social media properties. So, as fedora has a new logo start fedora is actually being redesigned it has a new logo right now. There's actually a really nice community process with a relatively new fedora design contributor doing the UI design. We're looking at having an intern work on the implementation of that new design so you know, look forward to this page looking a lot more slick. So, as fedora does have the new logo, we have an upcoming sort of fedora website complete overhaul rethink, and, you know, the new logo obviously be part of that. I'm thinking that's more of a long term process. If you see me in sessions asking a lot of questions about like strategy and competitive analysis and stuff like that, that is where I am coming from and asking those questions and trying to formulate. What is the plan for our next version of the website. And the fedora magazine already has the new logo with Ben's help we actually have the new logo on the community blog already, even though that wasn't slated until next release. So, and you can kind of see like the emphasis why fedora communities blog was sort of later in the schedule than fedora magazine is fedora magazine is geared more towards everyone including users, whereas the community blog is geared more towards contributors. So, we sort of felt like, let's let's make the front door fancy before we we make the inside fancy if that makes sense so that was just where the prioritization went there. For F 35, we're looking at some of these subsites, just updating the logo spins labs community blogs Don, we're looking at updating the discussion that for our project or right now. And that discussion that fedora project org is probably going to involve the creation of a new custom icon for ask that fedora. Oh, hold on. For ask that fedora we have a custom icon for it. And we're sort of like you know as as we start rolling things out we're kind of doing it organically and trying to figure out how much customization can we allow versus having consistency across logos. But one of the important things for these web platforms that I think is good to have a custom logo is that you have the fave icon on the tab. So you know where you are in the tab. And one of the most frustrating things about working in fedora, like classically is when the fave icons are all completely just fedora logos then you can't tell oh well where's my body tab versus where's my co g tab or stuff like that. So we're trying to fix that issue. Yeah, so that's basically like the overall plan we started with. So the long term is to try and we've already started actually to try to hit the contributor facing apps parts of the infrastructure, coming up with a format for those. So, and then another thing so this is sort of along the lines of enabling customization, but also keeping consistency and doing things in a way that's reproducible across different sub teams in the community. The Mexican community was one of the first communities to ask us, hey, you know, we'd like a logo for our community. And this was sort of past the point where we started doing stuff with the new logo. So we started thinking about what are ways, and this is somewhat frustrating that pig or is not loading images but we were trying to think about what are ways that we can enable these local communities to provide a little bit of the flavor of their local area within their logo, but without having it be so custom that it's a long drawn out process, we want these to kind of be very quick and easy to to churn out so that we can support everyone. We also want consistency from community to community but at the same time we do want you to be able to have a unique look and feel. So, one of the ideas that me and Maria had on this one was sort of inspired by the duo lingo penguin, or he's not even a penguin he's an owl but I just prefer penguins. And he's like this little green owl guy. Maybe I can load him up. You know he's basically a mascot for the duo lingo app. And there's different language communities on to a lingo and I, for whatever reason what you can see him in the fave tab but do a lingo owl. Let's just say France. So you can see like the different language communities sort of dress up duo the duo lingo owl to sort of reflect their country's culture traditions. So we thought it might be nice to do something where maybe instead of like the owl, we have the fedora panda, and maybe we dress him up according to different traditions from that local community. So fedora Mexico, Maria was exploring could we do like a sugar skull panda, and that could kind of reflect that community, and that could be sort of a mascot that is used alongside maybe a standardized logo with fedora and location name. So, that's something that we're looking at exploring. And we're kind of again like I don't I don't want like it's, I think it's silly to come up with like a strict list of things must be this way. And then that's that and we only do it that way without being flexible and working with individual communities and figuring out what might work best for them. And then so the way we're approaching it is like we're working with fedora Mexico on this one. The Polish community reached out to me the Italian community reached out to me. So for communities who sort of have the bandwidth and interest to have sort of that level of high touch exchange with the fedora design team. And we're looking to them to help us develop those guidelines that then could be applied to the broader full catalog of local communities. I got to jump on for this part. So I actually, I was looking through some more tickets for the current design intern to work on. And I reached out to Masha and I said, hey, can Daria start like making some drafts here so if you have some more background I'd love to connect you both on that. I think she was just going to go ahead with the Mexico and just like a standard template and also she herself is from India so she was going to create a fedora India one as well just as a beginner to see and so can kind of talk about those drafts like to see them here in like a week or two so can look forward to some updates there. Yeah, and one thing I want to point out on that is that we do have. I have an intern Lauren who this summer has been working on revamping the fedora mascots. So we have beef numerical we have panda we have badger. There's some minor characters. And I think if you know for example for the sugar skull panda. It would be really great if if Daria could use the new panda design that Lauren created. So that we have like moving forward we sort of have this new standardization. And again pagoras not loading images but you know what that's cool, because we have a community blog post that I can point you at. Hopefully, it's not too far back. So are those are those vitalize now. Yes, they are. They they right now they're in bitmap format because the tool that Lauren is using uses vectors in a way that it doesn't let you export them which is somewhat frustrating. But you know, I think it's you. I think honestly like as character design sheets as is that they're still quite useful. We may have to rebuild them in escape though unfortunately but you know it is what it is. But yeah, we're considering these basically the final designs for these characters. This minor character sheet there's an update to that one that wasn't ready in time for this blog post but this blog post is a good place to take a look. But yeah, I think moving forward these are the designs we should use so when say we do the sugar skull panda, it should be based on this panda, if that makes sense instead of like the old panda. And you know again if anybody's like asking well why are you revamping these guys I mean the artwork styles are different the panda especially has a lot of inconsistencies. We've drawn the panda in all sorts of different ways, and we kind of just wanted them to appear like they're from the same family, and they kind of the artwork style matches to. And this is also sort of a more contemporary style, you know, like beefy miracle, you know, the existing beefy miracle is from the late 1990s early 2000s. So I mean, you know, styles and trends change over time so it was just, it seemed like a nice thing in in coordination with the new logo design to sort of clean up our mascot artwork too. So and I will post this in the chat because I'm sure folks are interested and just know I'm not closely monitoring the chat. If you really want my attention message Marie and I'm sure she'll raise it to me and like we have five minutes anyway but um, yeah so there's that. We've had a few things with, let me look oh right well this is spot the old logo. Q, and this is kind of a good way how you can help just even you don't have to be a designer, you don't even have to be technical. If you're kind of browsing around fedora's websites or apps or even inside fedora itself. When you encounter a spot where the old logo is still present. If you wouldn't mind filing a ticket here and I will paste that into that would be super helpful because we're basically using this as a queue to go through and just start updating them. So some of these you can see we have PRs pending. I closed them once PR is accepted. If you wanted to see the process of taking an existing logo, and sort of new new fedora logo with flying it, the mind share ticket is a pretty good example of how we've done that. So, hey Mo, we have about four or five questions. All right, I don't know how much you have left in your preso though I'm not trying to rush you. Oh, that's, that's basically it. So, you know, the technical issues. Where did the panda come from what is the history of the panda. Okay, I can tell you that because I'm the origin of the panda. I really like pandas. It's just a thing. I can't tell you why I just, I did a project on pandas in fourth grade, and I just really like them. I used to be very chill, laid back non drama animals, and I felt like chill laid back no drama is like a great personality trait to work in open source. So I just started anytime the opportunity came to throw an Easter egg into something, or, you know, I used to call I don't know why I don't know why but I used to call the members of the design team pandas. So like when I would start an email to the mailing list I'd be like hey pandas or something like that. It's just cute friendly animal, they're cuddly, they're large, they're they're huggable. I just like them. Is there a fedora Massachusetts community for my state in the US so I'm assuming your state is Massachusetts I think it is because we talked about that earlier. There is Northeast Lenox, Lenox fast but with coronavirus, I don't know how things are, but I would consider the Northeast Lenox fast community to be sort of the kind of New England regional local community and it's not for specific but that's a good place. Um, could we get a 3D fedora logo swag item or 3D file to print your own logo or both. So you're looking to 3D print the new logo. And you would like a 3D like, okay, so a 3D fedora logo swag item. I guess I need more details on like what kind of swag you're interested in because. Like that it's 3D that's cool, but what what is the use like would it be like a key chain maybe or something like that like if I like to think about things in terms of how it's going to operate in the real real world and what its function it's going to be and how it's going to help people. So if you can kind of make that case to me we can absolutely explore that. I think that's a cool idea if we could do something 3D. In terms of a 3D file. I can certainly generate one if you have something in mind. Again, it kind of depends on what you're looking to do with it. Does fedora India have a new logo yet. No, that is something that Daria is going to be working on. How can my sig fedora idea get new artwork with the logo. Oh, well, that's an easy one just file it and spot the old logo. You can just say like here is update for our mind chair. You could do the same like update my sig's logo, put the name of the sake, give us any existing artwork that you have. If you have any preferences on what you would like, you know, if you have an idea that we'd really like to incorporate this or that or whatever, let us know and we'll work with you. So fedora magazine has the new logo in a darker blue. Is that something we plan to do generally use a variety of colors or is that an exception. Yes, so that one is a very cool question. So fedora magazine has always had a brand that has its fedora like, but it's a little bit distant from it as well. I think there's a lot of different reasons for this. I think a lot of this was Ryan Lurch's idea, but he kind of wanted it. He wanted it to be accessible to users and not feel like you have to be a contributor to follow along. So to give it sort of its own brand that's still in the family, you know what I mean like between say Bode and coji like they should look like sisters or sisters, whereas like fedora magazine and fedora project or maybe more first or second cousins right so using the darker blue on the logo was a way of providing a little bit of that distance. And I think that coloring the fedora logo, the new logo in different colors and you might notice too we added like a gradient to it as well so that the tail of the fedora f kind of goes into the background a little bit there's a little bit of a 3D effect there. It really depends on what the goal is I think by default we'll use the standard blue. If it's a separate treatment that requires it we can use white or black to because this is a one color possible logo we can do that we can be more flexible about colors but I don't want to get too wild. I really want to stick to the dark blue and the light blue unless there's a really good reason, but like unless it's a very specific use case that has been discussed and has a good reason like fedora magazine. Probably folks should not be doing the fedora logo in different colors I think if you're doing the logo in different colors again there needs to be a reason. You know for example like if we wanted to do some pride swag. So we wanted to do something where it was like a t shirt that had the fedora logo across the chest and the fedora logo is in the fedora palette of all the different colors to sort of look like a rainbow. That could be a totally okay case, but it's something that I wouldn't just do on your own I wouldn't do that in a self service capacity I would definitely engage with the fedora design team and sort of have a discussion so that we can make sure it's done the right way. Like for example like you might think oh well I want to do something like that so I'll just use the colors of the rainbow. Whereas, if you talk to somebody on the design team would probably be like, that's a great concept but why don't we stick to the palette colors of the fedora palette, it's still a rainbow. It's not the classic red green blue yellow whatever, but it'll give you the same effect and also be closer to our branding. So, there's that. Let's see if there's new questions. Will the fedora ever add the logo next to the activities button like rel used to do. Um, maybe that's probably a good question for the workstation group if they want to do that. It doesn't matter to me either way. So, does fedora recommend a default monospace font we have default serif sans serif and title font already. Um, I mean we can if you want. I'm assuming by default monospace font you mean for like branding and marketing materials because for the distro and OS itself. That's really like workstation group determines that stuff. And honestly, like the default. I think right now the default can own font is Cantor L whereas fedora's default font is open sans a mozzarella. I think I hit them all did I miss anything. And I think we're at time. So, I guess that's that so after this at I think 1130 to 1230. We're going to do a live fedora kind of video chat normally when the fedora design team meets we have video chats and we kind of just go through our ticket triage and stuff like that. So we're basically going to do that here at nest. So you can feel welcome to join us there and if you have more questions or things you want to talk about or if you want to get started contributing. That's a great place to start so thanks everybody.


Entering election day, Attorney General Martha Coakley is locked in a neck-and-neck race for governor against Republican Charlie Baker. And the next governor must be a good partner to our business community. She must, yes, correct the sound of that. Coakley supports women's rights, early childhood education and improved mental health care. The relatively tame campaign heated up when Baker supporters ran an ad claiming that Coakley does not protect children. Taking care of kids and making sure they are safe and making sure that we advocate for families and kids is what I have always done. I've done it as Attorney General. Most importantly, I will do it as governor. Coakley's campaign received some new enthusiasm when First Lady Michelle Obama headlined a rally in Dorchester. Poll show Baker was a slim lead over Coakley after the Boston Globe endorsed him in this year's election. I think she is sometimes hard to listen to. She's harder to listen to than Barack Obama. But I think she's so smart and I think she really understands the state. I think Martha has made too many shortcomings of promises that she said she would do and she hasn't delivered. And I'm so nervous that she won't do it again. Reporting for BUTV News, I'm Amelia Capuzzi.
