Aloha, I'm Kirsten Baumgart-Turner, and this is Sustainable Hawai'i, airing live from the Dinktak Hawai'i Studio in downtown Honolulu every Tuesday at noon. As many of you know by now, the World Conservation Congress, which is held every four years around the world, will take place for the first time in the United States right here in Honolulu. During the first 10 days of September, we will receive about 10,000 leaders and decision-makers, representing 1,300 government and private conservation organizations from 160 countries. This year's theme is Planet at the Crossroads, aptly named given the climate change impacts we've been experiencing both here and around the world. In May, we had the World Conservation Congress organizers from the IUCN headquarters in Switzerland here on the show. Today, we have the lead Hawai'i organizer, Randy Tanaka, served as Chief Operating Officer for the Hawai'i Host Committee of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, or APEC Summit, of 21 countries, which was also held here in Hawai'i for the first time in 2011. Today, Randy is helping plan for the world's largest conservation event, serving as President of the 2016 IUCN World Conservation Congress National Host Committee in Hawai'i. Welcome, Randy. Aloha. Thank you, Kristen. That's a mouthful of a title. And you certainly have more than a handful of responsibility. It's tremendous. We're only 15 days away. Who's counting? You, I'm sure. It's very exciting. I want to ask you so many questions about where we're at, but I'd like to go also more in depth in today's show about how we're at, how we're doing the Congress, and how it compares to, for example, APEC in the past. I noticed we've been getting a lot of announcements on TV about road closures and traffic changes. Why is that if we're a conservation Congress this year? Well, part of the, on the operational side, there's some logistic things that we will do to facilitate the smooth operation of the Congress. And part of the lane closures will occur around the Blaisdell because that's where the opening ceremony will occur. There'll be leaders from countries and notables in conservation and the environment. For example, Jane Goodall will be here. Terrific. So it's, you know, it's a name that, you know, is recognized around the world. But we want to facilitate a smooth and safe transition to the Blaisdell and back to the convention center when it's over. So we'll be having some heads of state. I know that one that people discuss might be our very own President, Obama. Yes. What's the status of that? It's still, it's not a yes and it's not a no. Basically the President has an aggressive schedule. We have asked from every point that we can to invite him here. We are hopeful that he will be here, but we don't know yet. Well, I'm sure that keeps you on your toes. You have to have all the contingency plans in place just in case. Well, we fundamentally have one plan. And that one plan says he will be here and we build around that. Well, that's terrific. And that also gives you the added cushion of security for other heads of state that might follow suit if they hear he's coming. Correct. Already the east-west center holds is the secretariat for a meeting called the Pacific Island Conference of Leaders. So we know that they'll be from 10 to 15 leaders or ministerial level folks here for that meeting, which is two days before the IUCN Congress. They'll cross over on the first day with the opening ceremony. So this is one of the kind of benefits that we didn't anticipate when we booked it. But it's a great occasion for people to come together and not only talk about the issues in the Pacific, but how those Pacific issues translate into conservation and environmental issues. And it's really a great buildup that we held the APEC conference here first because that also addressed so many economic development and integration issues for the whole region. Yeah. APEC was an economic meeting. And what we learned from the APEC experience is that 60 percent of the world's economy sits in that Asia Pacific arena. You have to recognize it as the force that it is and how Hawaii plays a role with its Pacific partners. A little different meeting was the president's meeting. And back then we had Senator Inouye to help us along with it. We were clear in the direction. We were clear on who the boss was. Senator had Peter Ho and Tim Johns as the lead of the host committee, two outstanding folks that know their business well and do their business well. So it was a different kind of meeting and it satisfied two real things. One was to let the world know that we can play on that stage. We can conduct global meetings as well as if not better than anyone else. And the second part of it was more an internal one saying, telling ourselves, listen, we can play. So not only on a global scale, but on a local scale that we do an outstanding job in hospitality. So that was the real positive part of APEC. And I'm sure it's going to be the same result this year. One of the things that is extremely gratifying is to know that early on many of the different economic development plans that were done for Hawaii, including a lot of public input and thinking of the 2050 sustainability plan, prior ones, all identified Hawaii's greatest asset as its knowledge center, as well as its natural resources. So this is bringing both together. Yeah. It's, you know, everything's dynamic. It's constantly fluid. If you kind of anchor your feet on the pavement, that's not how the dynamics of the universe works. So things change on an ongoing basis. And we have this unique opportunity because Hawaii being the furthest from any landmass around the world, we have some unique biodiversity. We have some unique cultural diversity. And we're scalable so we can do some things because of our scale that other places struggle a little bit more to do. So the 2050 goal is a substantial goal when you think about it, to get off petroleum. So we can do those kinds of things here. And we have a good cooperative community. You know, we fight like brothers and sisters, but I think at the end of the day, we know what's the greater good for the community. And that's what we hope to achieve with this Congress. Well, one of the things with the Congress is the number of people that are going to be coming here. And we always talk about the footprint of any development project. We're going to have a lot of feet printing on the ground. How does this compare numbers-wise to APEC? And how are we treating the whole impact of the meeting itself differently? So just from a numbers standpoint, so this Congress is 10 days long. Very unusual. And there's two parts to it. One is called the forum and the other part is called the members assembly. So the forum really is the active discussion within the membership group to talk about the conservation issues around the world. The second part of the meeting is really a parliamentary process. They're a very democratic process. They elect their president, they commissioners, and they talk about what they're going to do for the next four years till the next Congress. So the issues are discussed in the forum brought forth to the members assembly and the members assembly takes up those issues and say, this is what we're going to do going forward. Out of this Congress will come a thing called the Hawaii commitments. And forevermore it will be known as the Hawaii commitments. So we will be part of this organization's history forever. It's like the Kyoto protocols. It was held in Kyoto and from which came these protocols, well, Hawaii will have the commitments that we need to make going forward for the environment and for conservation. And I just want to clarify, these are not commitments just for Hawaii. Oh, no. These are global commitments. Correct. And we'll be the tagline for these global commitments right after COP 21, which makes it tremendously exciting and powerful for the leverage that we're going to be able to have as a state to demonstrate how we can get to some of these commitments. Yeah, you know, it's the actions that we're going to take, that we need to take. So it's a tremendous opportunity. We will forevermore have that mark in the sand that says it started here. And we need to be committed to fulfill those kinds of commitments going forward. It separates us from the rest of the pack. What are some of the things we're going to do to make sure that the Congress itself demonstrates a commitment to mitigating climate change impacts and changing behaviors? And I'm thinking for some simple things, the transportation of people once they're here, for example, and then we'll talk about others. So let's start with that. So anybody within a 20-minute walking distance is going to walk to the convention center. We're not busing them. Anyone beyond that zone, we're using the trolleys that already are operating for other guests, and we transport them to the Alamoano Shopping Center, which is the disembark point, and then they walk to the convention center. We have a no-single-use plastic bottle requirement, so you can't bring in plastic bottles with water in it. Hallelujah. We've done whole shows here about that. And you know, it's a small thing. It's a simple thing, highly executable. We just need to do those kinds of things. With huge impact if we stop using them. So you know, it's those kinds of actions. We have worked with the State of Hawaii Department of Economic Development that has a green program. We've used hotels that have met the green requirement of the state. We have practices on a day-to-day basis. We will have what we call green monitors at each of the receptacles for trash, asking people to separate, and so it helps facilitate on the back end. Food products will be bio-filtered so we can put it back onto the land. That's terrific. I want to take a short break, and then let's go into a little more depth about the food impacts, because that's something we've discussed a lot. We'll be right back with Randy Tanaka at Sustainable Hawaii. Well, that video was a perfect segue to come back and talk with Randy Tanaka, who's running the World Conservation Congress, and that video was from the IUCN and National Geographic did that, correct? Yes, they did an excellent job considering what is compressed and the visuals in there and the impact. It's a great awareness video that they put out. It's online. I'm hoping that people that come here are as aware of the impacts they're making to our island as they are of the worldwide impacts that we need to keep in mind when we're conserving our natural resources. How are we making them aware? You mentioned the sorting waste stations. Will they actually have people at those waste stations? Yes, volunteers. Oh, that's awesome. Volunteers? Yes, we have about 560 volunteers. Oh, wonderful. That will be participating not only in the hospitality side but at the Congress, helping people get involved and sharing some of the things from a cultural basis also. Indigenous knowledge. We have Dr. Kanahele, Poulani Kanahele from Hawaii Island, involved in the spiritual discussions about how religion and conservation play a role in the whole conservation process. Well, I love hearing that because my husband is a pastor and he preaches about that all the time. Are we going to have different faiths represented as well? Yes, we actually have someone from the Vatican coming. Oh. Yeah, so it's a major league. It's called a high-level dialogue, and it's so appropriate to have Dr. Kanahele being the convener. Absolutely. And so she not only brings that Western education but the cultural base because at the end of the day, those two things have to get together to make us effective in managing our resources. This is also extremely timely after the Pope's, I forget the name of the treatise that he put out specifically focusing on sustainability after COP 21. Yes. I think, you know, our goals for this Congress was really to showcase Hawaii as the place where we understand the environment, where we care for it, and we need to build capacity, the knowledge capacity for it. We need to build awareness for what's happening on a global scale. And the Hokulea going around the world, Malama Honua, is a demonstration of that. So all these things kind of come to this intersection, this crossroad. Right here. In the middle of the Pacific. First time in the U.S., and so this is not the end. It is the beginning of what we need to do going forward. That's very exciting. What are some of the ways in which you're handling procurement for the convention for the Congress and making that sustainable or more sustainable? So this is also a paper-low Congress. You know, usually you go to Congress, you get this thick book of all the sessions and all of that. That does not exist in this Congress. It's a mobile app. So it's all there. We're trying to source mostly local foods. The paper products are all biodegradable. So all those, when you look at that collective list, we're aiming for a zero-waste Congress. The opportunity going forward is now we have the library of resources. Now we have the actions that you need to take. So all the Congress is coming forward, all the conferences coming forward have the blueprint for that. And we encourage everyone who not only meets here, but every place else around the world to focus on those kinds of issues. Now one thing we always get is pushback on price. Are you finding that that's actually the case that it's becoming more costly because you're instituting these measures? There's some costs, but you know, when you meter out that cost over its impact to the environment, what goes into the landfills, it's not, it's still good economics because you have to allocate those costs beyond just that product. You have to meter it back into what we have to do. And when you do those things, the economics work, and then you have to have the commitment to do it. And you have to have sharp people like yourself and the other planning committee members understand that those long-term impacts come with costs that we're eventually going to pay for. Right. In the past, as we haven't looked down the road to see how costly things are if we don't invest now. Right. If you allocate the cost properly, then it's a no-brainer. And we have good people in D-Bed managing the green program. We have great people in D-Len, Susan Case and her team. We've got a governor that's committed. We had a governor before that, a governor, Abercrombie, that made this commitment. So he had the vision, and Governor Ege is executing the plan. So it'll set a new standard for not only the state, but we'll use this as an example of how it should be done. And is the Swiss headquarters for IUCN taking notes? Are they here on the ground already and working with you and saying, wow, we're going to really take this forward? Absolutely. I think. We should know our closest competitor for this Congress was Istanbul. And one of the gentlemen, Enrique Laman, who is a global director, we've become friends. He's a Costa Rican, a scientist in his own right. We talked about why Hawaii. He said not only the biodiversity of the state, but it's the cultural commitment. When you look at what the Hawaiians were doing way before sustainability became a word, they were already practicing sustainability, the concerns for the reef, and when the kapu, when you fish and you don't fish, was already in practice. So we're kind of taking two steps back to go forward. So it's a tremendous moment for the state. I think it's also a tremendous opportunity for communities outside of Honolulu, outside of the hotels and the convention center operators, because there are many field trips that are being taken and people get a chance to showcase what they're doing. Can you highlight just a few of those? So on every island, Hawaii Island, Maui, and Kauai, they're all excursions, field trips that engage some aspect of what we're doing on the ground. There's workshops going on, Maui has a whole series of food sustainability programs. Kauai's feature event is at the National Tropical Botanical Gardens. Chip Wickman was absolutely central to getting the Congress here. Yes. And so by demonstration, they're showing people this is how we do it. It may have a different application to where you are, but let's work together to help you. There was a gentleman from Pakistan. And before he came here, he's part of the preparatory committee, he had reached out to us to try to understand what we were doing with the 2050 initiative. So we hooked him up with DBET on how we went about doing this, getting buy-in from a county level, from a constituency level, from a government level. So he was very enchanted with that. We also introduced him to the Hawaii Legacy Hardwood guys who have planted 3,000 acres in native species, co-species. They want to re-forced over a million acres in Pakistan. So that's the intellectual and technical export that we can provide to the rest of the world. As we bring them in on airplanes, move them around in mostly gasoline-powered vehicles, and then we take them to the neighbor islands again on airplanes using jet diesel, how are folks individually or are we as a state going to be mitigating those impacts? There is a carbon offset program, voluntary by the members of IUCN. So there's a carbon offset program that's in place to help mitigate some of that. And what are the details of that program? I don't have the specific details, but you can go online and you can get credits, my credits for that. Okay. So go to IUCN.org. Terrific. I'd be very interested to know, are we planting trees elsewhere or in Hawaii in order to do those offsets or where are those, where's that from? It's mostly on a global level. Which is appropriate. Yeah. Well, and we hope out of this, the hardwood legacy guys have done an amazing job. And it's no longer just core, they're talking sandalwood, they're talking more acreage. So it's restoration also, conservation and restoration go hand in hand. Well, in the last three minutes that we have, I'd like to focus exactly that on what is the legacy going to be for this Congress when everybody leaves? What are we left with and how are we making sure we leverage that for a sustainable future? Well, like I said, it's not the end, it's the beginning. And how we've envisioned this is a year from now, if we're all sitting down and say, okay, we pulled it off all good a year from now, what have we claimed as a win? The way we see it now, we've won the game. That's not the issue. It's running up the score. So our goal is we have advanced the green growth initiative for the state. We have advanced the Alloa Plus challenge because that's the vehicle. You need to measure our success. We need to talk. Coupu has an outstanding education program with students. There's a student day on September 6, we're design thinking. So you've got to engage the community. We have to build capacity. We're all going to experience some frustration, but we've begun taking the steps to build that capacity because we need to be aware that we want to help the next generation but we have a responsibility to our own generation to leave behind or that inheritance we give the next generation is better than what we got. So essentially what we're going to be doing is engaging with congress members here and then building on the knowledge learned and we go forward. Are there any actual concrete or physical projects that are going to be left as well? So the biggest one that was a complete surprise to us, there's a gentleman at the University of Hawaii, his name is Ken Kanashiro. He's a biologist. And he's been on ThinkTech many times. We love Ken. And he was involved in the eradication of the mosquitoes, not mosquitoes, but the fruit fly in Okinawa. So I go to Glenn Switzerland and I meet this guy named Simon Stewart, who is of the Protected Species Commission. He says, Randy, we're thinking about how we eradicate mosquitoes in Hawaii. He said, really? I got a guy you got to talk to in Hawaii, Ken Kanashiro. So they've been talking. They're holding a congress workshop on Hawaii Island September 6 and 7 to talk about mosquito eradication in the state of Hawaii. So understand the implications, not only from a public health standpoint, from an endangered species standpoint, but just the benefit for our community. And you need to realize that mosquitoes are an introduced insect to the state of Hawaii. So we will be eradicating invasives permanently, hopefully, as the legacy project for the World Conservation Congress. Well, I know we're in good hands. Thank you so much for joining us, Randy. Thank you very much. Aloha.


So this part was really interesting, and I gotta bring up my notes here from the State of the Union. So the State of the Union is Apple's sort of second keynote of the day that's very much focused on developers. And they focused one section of it on focus, the whole new focus infrastructure that exists inside of iOS 15. And one of the things that changes dramatically in iOS 15 is, or gets enhanced dramatically, is notifications. We have notification grouping, what do they call it? They called it something that I'm forgetting anyway. But they talked about four different notification levels. Right now we have one notification level or type, but now there are four. There are passive notifications, there are active notifications, which are the current ones. So that's what we currently have are active notifications. There are time-sensitive notifications. These are things that hang on the lock screen a little bit longer, they're announced by Siri, and they will bypass the notification summary. So an active notification might get put into the summary, but the time-sensitive ones will be displayed separately. And then there's a fourth one called critical notifications that can play a sound even if your device is muted, but these require a special and Apple-approved entitlement in order for the app to be able to send this kind of notification. So not everybody's gonna be able to do this, which is good, because otherwise it'd be a mess. But I found that that was very interesting, how they're breaking that out, and that's how they're deciding to put things in the notification summary or not. Any thoughts on that, Dave? Okay, I guess you're talking focus, right? That's what we're talking about. Yes. My only concern is that it's nice to have a level of granularity. I'm afraid, I wanna see how they pull it off because it sounds like it may be a bit too complex for most people to deal with. It might. It's like, so wait, now I gotta create like these levels of notification importance and stuff. And it's like, I don't have time for that. There's the developer side where you have to sort of create a scheme of priority numbers. We're gonna make this kind of thing, this kind of a notification will have, I'll give it this number and I'll give this one a lower number. That's just so they can work. I don't think that's terrible for a developer. I think as a user though, and I haven't seen it, so it's hard to say, but as a user, that's where I worry that the complexity is gonna get in, where I have to sort of grade everything and figure out I have 17 levels of allowing notifications and it's, I mean, am I gonna be able to deal with all these things? Is my dad gonna be able to deal with all these levels of notification? Right. Or is it? In the State of the Union, they talked about how there will be, they didn't use this term, but I will because it's what made sense to me. Siri's suggestion style recommendations where your iPhone will suggest to you, hey, you might wanna call this app a work app or this app a home app or maybe relegate this. And one of the things they said there, which I thought was huge. Again, these buried little nuggets that we find in the State of the Union was they said, for example, it can offer to mute a single conversation, a messages conversation for a limited amount of time. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to mute a single messages conversation, but only for a day or only for an hour. And so it sounds like we will get that granularity in messages. And again, they didn't announce that, but if Siri's gonna be able to offer to have me do it, hopefully I can do it on my own. Yeah, no, that actually makes a lot of sense. When you use that example, because I certainly would, I just do it the way it normally was. And then there'd come a time when everybody's chatting about this thing and that's happening that I just don't care about. And it's going on. And I know that it's a temporary, muting for a day would be great. I'll just look for that and I'll set it and I'll react. That's how I'd learn that particular version. Yeah, so I like this. Yeah, I like that. Yeah, so that part I liked, there was something else that they showed in messages. Craig Federighi showed that you could pin a message to come back to it later, but he was using it for like when somebody sent a news article or something, but he definitely showed that you could pin a message. I hope that we have the ability to pin any message we as the user choose because so many times I'll get a text message from someone and often what I'll say is, hey, can you message me again so that I leave it unread so I know to come back to this? Because otherwise I'm not gonna remember to come back. I wanna mark a message as unread. Correct. Just like I can with an email. Just like an email. It's my reminder that I have a text that somebody sent me that is so important to me because it's telling me I have to do a thing. Yeah. And I'm doing everything I can to not accidentally read that message because then I'll lose it. Because then you'll lose it. Yeah, yeah, it's like I wanna peek into it without making it read. Or like you said, just simply make it unread would be the key, so. You brought up Craig Federighi. I did. And I just wanna say, and if we wanna push this off, that's fine, but if we can take a moment, he has become my favorite part of every single keynote. And part of it is, I think, and I clearly, Apple gets this and they're playing it up. You could see that they're turning the dial on Craig to 11 because he did some magic stuff today. Like he pushed a button and then a hole appeared. And an iPad fell out of the sky and there was hands. And did you hear the little foley edit there where it went, zoop. Yes. And then he caught it.  And he had like the secret agent car to go to the secret lab, supposedly secret lab. That was a beautiful car, by the way. It was like, hey, it's a nice car, Craig. I don't know what type of car it was, but it looked pretty fancy. Yeah, we don't have to talk about it some more. I just wanted to mention that.  So to call him comic relief is limiting unintentionally. But he is, like he is a personable. He is a charismatic guy. And they are absolutely embracing that, which they should. I think it's a great idea. No, I love it. And I just so appreciated it. All the different things he did, he ran. He jumped out of a screen at one point. He just, he really makes it much more entertaining. Yeah, he's the rock star. Which is fine. They need one, at least. Yeah.

It's a great pleasure to be here today. The first thing I wanted to mention was Chancellor Ward sends his congratulations and thanks to you. He's on a much-deserved vacation. I think we gave him two or three days off, and he'll be back in the south this weekend. But he has watched this project from the beginning and is very congratulatory to everyone here. I'm delighted to welcome the guests. But a few words about the Energy Institute. Michael mentioned the spatial coordinates. And spatial coordinates have meaning on this campus. This position of the building was chosen very purposefully to be at the nexus of an interface between several of our major colleges and nexus of our student population. So it's becoming a new focus area for campus. And I felt very strongly about this from the beginning. So while we had a plan for the Wisconsin Energy Institute, I guess I nudged it. I think it was probably a little bit more definitive than a nudge. It was to create an environment where we could bring together the huge cross-cut of knowledge and science on this campus and apply it to one or more really extreme social problems. This is something this campus does extremely well. And this fits in with that initiative almost perfectly. If you look at the three cross-cuts that we've pushed so hard on campus, Energy is certainly one of them, but Sustainability and Global Health are right standing side by side by them. It's very hard to have an advance here that doesn't apply there. So this fits, at least to my mind, the concept of the Wisconsin idea more than almost any other activity that we can do. But a building like this, which is absolutely magnificent, is really more magnificent depending on what's done in it. And this is a unique opportunity for campus to do something it hasn't done before and do it in a really comprehensive way. If you just look at the backbone of this facility, and particularly at GLPRC, which is the anchor for all practical purposes of what will happen here, you can see that the importance of looking at energy issues in a broad spectrum. The Secretary raised a very important point. What we do here will affect society all over the world, not just here in Wisconsin, not just here in Madison, but the concept of bio-derived fuels, synthetic fuels, cell technology, and a whole systems approach to how we create energy, how we use energy, and how it affects our life and style around us is really important. People don't have a long time horizon, as you well know. This institute will have a longer time horizon and will be highly impactful to campus for years to come. I think that we will find the kind of research that derives from here will create whole new programs in areas that we don't expect and don't anticipate, and that's why we structured the way the governance of this facility will take place, really cultivates and aligns that. We can anticipate new graduate programs, new undergraduate involvement, things that we are really noted for. Just in the regions meeting yesterday where they were highlighting research experiences for undergraduates and some of the other comprehensives, and they looked at that in the context of small startup companies. And one of the major components of that said, well, this derived from the nanoparticle effort that was coming out of Plackville's engineering program. They said it worked really well for about a year, and then we really needed the kind of creativity and infrastructure to advance that and move the program to Madison. So the important thing is we're a little startled to see that their peripheral efforts really focusing on the flagship campus of the institution. So I'm positively delighted to be here. I think this is gonna be a great success. Mike and Tim and the two deans are gonna be congratulated for this. I think we're looking forward to virtually decades of success in the future. Congratulations Mike. Thank you.

Let me now turn things over to Mr. Bill Fisher, the Acting Director of ISU, as well as the Acting Chairman of the SLTPS PAC. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the 26th meeting of the SLTPS PAC. I'm Bill Fisher, the Acting Director of ISU. I'm also the Director of the National Declassification Center at the National Archives in my permanent position. At this time, I do not have any news to share about when a permanent Director of ISU will be coming on board. I will now turn it over to my designated Federal Officer, Heather Harris-Pagan. Thank you, sir. I will now begin attendance. I know that our Acting Chairman, Mr. Fisher, is here. SLTPS PAC Vice Chairman, Rich McCombe, Department of Energy member, Mark Hynoski, DOE's alternate, Tracy Kindle. President, can you hear me? Yes, sir. Thank you. DOE's other alternate, Natasha Sumter, Nuclear Regulatory Commission member, Tara Inverso, NRC's alternate, Darryl Parsons. I hear the wrong one. Thank you. Department of Transportation member, Sidoni Dunham. Present. Thank you. Department of Defense member, Michael Russo, Office of the Director of National Intelligence member, Lisa Perez. Present. Thank you. Federal Bureau of Investigations member, Jacob Zockard, FBI's alternate, Scott Gerlach, Department of State member, Jake Connor. Good morning. I'm present. Thank you.

Private Sector member, Cameron Birx, State Mountain Region member, Chris Palmer. Present. Thank you. We request that everyone identify themselves by name and agency if applicable before speaking each time for the record. I want to remind government membership of their requirement to annually file a financial disclosure report with the National Archives and Records Administration's Office of General Counsel. The same form of financial disclosure that is used throughout the federal government, OGE Form 450 satisfies reporting requirements. If you have any questions, please let us know. We've had a few changes to the PAC memberships since the last meeting. Megan Tupner, our local East member with the NYPD, has reached the end of her term as has Mary Michelle Schechter, our local East member with the Nassau County Department of Health in New York State. Keith Minard with DCSA is retiring. Jeremy Stroka representing the Midwest in Iowa for state matters withdrew from the SLTPS PAC. Chris Palmer, our State Mountain member with the State of Utah courts, is a new member. Some of you may also know our alternate designated federal officer, Robert Trangalli. He's leaving us for retirement later this summer. Additionally, we still have 8 out of 12 slots at our membership in addition to our vice chair position. If you have any nominations, please bring them to our attention. For those departed members, thank you all for your contributions over the years. We look forward to continuing the work you have done with new representatives. The minutes from the last meeting were finalized and posted to the ICI website on September 29, 2023. I will now address the items of interest from the September 20, 2023 SLTPS PAC public meeting. Several members mentioned the frustration of what the reality is for clearance processing versus what DHS states when there is no law of jam. Is anyone from DHS on the call that can speak to that? All right, it looks like DHS wasn't able to make the call. Does anyone have any questions that we can pass on? Heather, Kevin Kline, the GSAC. DHS did brief us the beginning of the month about their, in INA, getting the local clearances, state and local clearances done. And they've stepped up their processing times, added some resources that we did get some feedback from them on what they were doing. And we're appreciative of the efforts to start addressing that backlog. Okay, great. I appreciate that, Kevin. Thank you. Hey, Heather. This is Don from CIA. I'm just, I'm not on this subject, but I just wanted to tell you I didn't hear our name. So I just want to let you know we're on the call. I apologize. I've got it. Thank you, Don. Are there any questions from the public? Candice, do you see anything in the chat or on the phone line? I don't, but if you do have a question, you can press either pound 2. If you've connected by phone, you can post your questions in chat here on Webex. You can also use the raise hand button at the bottom of your screen. Thank you, Candice. Just want to do one more check to see if anyone from DHS is on the call for the briefing since they were the only briefers today. Okay, we are now at the point of the meeting where we ask for SLTPS PAC members to present any new business that they have. Anyone? Members of the committee, your lines are open. You don't need to request to be unmuted. Mr. Fisher, it looks like DHS is not on the call. So, if you want to go ahead and close out the meeting, this satisfies the requirements for a public meeting. However, yes. And this is a, this is one of the strata. I could hear you guys, but I wasn't able to get through. Am I too late? Are you guys concluded? Um, are you going to be briefing for Mr. McComb? Yeah, I'm sorry. I was trying to get, um, I don't know what happened, but I could hear everybody speaking. I just couldn't get through. And I'm sorry. I apologize to everybody. Mr. McComb wasn't able to make it. So, again, this is one strata with DHS, OCS. So, and I do have some information to be able to present. Is this a good time now? Yes. Okay. Again, my apologies. So, I did hear you speak the question about the backlog. I do have some information in regards to the backlog. And then I have a couple of points that, um, that I just wanted to present to this. So, we were tracking a total of 215 backlog cases since the last act, 19 of which have been granted an interim secret clearance. 11 are undergoing a SAC check and there's still 139 pending. We put a little bit of a tiger team together to try to, um, put effort and force behind the backlog. And so we, we partnered up with different offices within DHS. We still have a long way to go, but I do see a lot of movement going forward in meetings with PSD and the DTSO here at DHS. Again, this is a high initiative for us. And when we do have a couple of task force in place to kind of try to tackle this backlog, I did hear a couple of individuals mentioned that we have griefed in the past. A couple of, of movements, and that's true. We'll continue to move forward in tackling these, these backlogs for this. So, these are the numbers that I have right now. We were, we were tracking 215. We still have 139 that we're looking at right now. There's going to be some instances where we're probably going to have to have some individuals re nominate folks, or at least validate the nomination of that. And that's what we're currently going through right now is reviewing all the nominations forms that were pushed to, to DHS. So, any, any questions from the group on that? Okay. So, there's a couple of key points that DHS also wanted to brief. And again, my apologies. I don't know what happened. I like to get through, but so from SLTPS security program management clearance numbers, DHS currently has approximately 7,231. SLTPS personnel with DHS office care. 88% of those are at the secret level. Bubble more at the top secret level. And this includes CBP, TISA, DHS headquarters, FEMA, FLETC, and ICE. So we, that those numbers are as of a couple of days ago. Again, that's a 7,231 cleared personnel. Another program management point that I wanted to bring up is that the DHS, our office is actually the certifying official to the secure rooms at the fusion centers that support the I&A mission. We, we go out on about a tri annual basis to, to these locations. There's 85 locations that we do compliance inspections on. So, we scheduled 20 for this year. So, I just wanted to brief that we have already completed 7 for this fiscal year and we see no issues with completing the rest of them. There's, there's a couple of findings that we're seeing on in the field that's more of an administrative findings, but DHS sees no issue from these locations during our inspections. There's also 3 initiatives that I wanted to, to bring to the, to the group as we all know the issues that happened up in Massachusetts kind of had everybody we look within their own programs on their, their clearance process. And because of these events, DHS launched a department wide review of the personal access to classified national security information. The security view includes partnering with the various minds of business such as the chief information officer, chief human capital officer, chief procurement officer. And the purpose of this initiative is to enhance the department's white clearance validation standards and to prevent unauthorized disclosure. We're anticipating a final report to come out in August of 2024 and I think that's going to line up with the next pack. So we'll have some, we should have some results from that report to be able to present if there's any, any gaps that we identified within our own program expected around August of 2024. We also launched a new training platform for SLTPS community. In the past is a pretty laborious tasking to email, you know, over 7,000 individuals, a PowerPoint presentation for their annual security refresher training. So we're utilizing the an e-learning management system that INA has for their individuals. So with last year, DHS uploaded over 7,000 clearance holders into this new platform. And we were successfully able to provide that, that training to the SLTPS community from a technological perspective and get away with the validation of did you complete the training yes or no. So DHS has now launched that initiative and we expect all SLTPS clearance holders to be in the system by the end of this year. And then last but not least, we are DHS initiated a policy view of the implementing directive for Executive Order 13549. DHS has fallen up with the OGC regulatory affairs to enter into rulemaking. DHS will keep all PAC members updated of any progress made and when the final decision has been made in regards to implementing directive. An implementing directive is a really outdated document that really is the policy driver for a lot of the decisions that are made. So we're looking to bring that policy up to current date and we'll keep the PAC identified and notified as when changes are expected to be made on that. Obviously, we're going to be working with the, with the PAC on that as well. So we'll keep everybody. Again, I apologize for not being able to get through earlier, but any questions for, for me. Thank you. Thank you. Do we have any questions for DHS? Candice anyone in the queue with questions? We have a couple of questions from Lee Watson. I'm going to unmute your line if you'd like to ask those questions yourself. We can read them from chat if you would prefer. Lee Watson, you're unmuted now. Hey, thank you. I think when you, when you unmuted me, the system spoke over you so it was hard to hear. So yeah, I just have three questions, maybe for DHS or maybe for the broader group relative to how this works in the field at more of the state or regional level. So I just, I guess go through them really quickly. Lee Watson with Forge Institute, we work with the state of Arkansas and most of the critical infrastructure in our state to robust cybersecurity protection. So my first question is, I'm wondering if there's an opportunity for OD and I to help normalize the idea of using secret and TS facilities in the field for discussions or participation in various virtual VTCs. On the high side without having to implement a co use agreement. The capability for this varies greatly outside of the NCR. My second question is I'm wondering if there are strategies that look at deeper high side collaboration in the field with local trusted relationships again both kind of at a state. State government city government as well as the major critical infrastructure companies. And then the third question is just really kind of an expanded on that as to across the various departments and agencies. You know, could we build a list of the value proposition and the concerns specifically from the council's offices. As to the reasons to share class of information what forms types methods programs existing collaborations does that take. So as to really understand what best practices look like and the alignment of benefits for both the federal government. As well as the various SLTPS organizations in the field. Hi, this is Lisa from OD and I can hear me. Yes ma'am. Hi, I didn't capture all of the 1st question. I'm sorry. Can you please repeat that that 1st question? Surely have access to the to the. The platform so I can't see what what you wrote. Sorry. For sure. No worries. Yeah. So the, so the question with OD and I was, you know, the, the ICD 705. Policies and the co use agreements work really well for. SSOs with more formal engagements, but from a sort of no access to systems. Just using a skiff for discussions or participation in a VTC the. I'm wondering if only and I could help sort of normalize standardized that practice. Across the country, it's, it's, it's not the same out here in the field as it might be at the NCR. Does that make sense? I think so. So it sounds like something more so not particularly scheduled or planned. So right. So normally when there are events, it's easier to have these agreements in place, but it sounds like potentially these are sort of more unplanned events. And you're looking for more fluidity, fluidity and making it possible to utilize this gift. Or is this, is that what you're asking? Yeah, you know, if you look in, in 705 dash to the co use agreement stuff. It outlines. This pretty well, but it's not always a practice that's been done a whole lot and it's happening more. In, in states across the country. So being able to set some additional clarification. You know, or some material that says, hey, you know, if they're cleared, you can use it that they don't have to have access. You know, to an information system in order to be on a VTC, just some sort of practical operational guidance at maybe a more detailed level. I think would be, would be helpful. It's something that we've, we've overcome here, but I, but I taught the colleagues again outside of the coast. And that that practice is increasing, but it's not been as as fluid or standardized as it has been in DC. Okay. All right, I can, I don't have an answer for you today specifically, but I can certainly take a look into it and talk with the appropriate individuals here. At OD and I to see if there's something that can be put out and we can just have this as a follow on action. Is that possible to add that Heather. Yes, no problem. We are you good with that answer. Oh, yes, ma'am. That's great. Thank you. Are there any other questions. Candice any other questions in the queue or chat. There are no further questions that I see. Okay. Mr. Fisher a turn it over to you now to close out the meeting. Thank you, Heather. Our next SLT PS pack. Meeting is scheduled for July 10 July 10 2024. As a reminder, all SLT PS pack meeting announcements are posted in the federal register. Approximately 30 days prior to the meeting, along with being posted to the ISO blog. Meeting adjourned.


Firefighters throughout the world are known to have a tight bond amongst each other. For aircraft rescue and firefighting aboard Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, that thought is no exception. The Marines spend countless hours together, training, learning, and even living with each other in the firehouse. This week we'll be spending 48 hours straight together and the following week it comes out to I believe 120 hours we'll spend together. So it's a lot of time spent together and it's in our firehouse and it's a great time in there. Lance Corporal Radford Ray, a hand-line operator with the department, says it doesn't take long to get comfortable once you arrive to your first firefighting assignment in the Marine Corps. It's kind of hard to describe, you know, you spend a lot of time with these guys and you come in not knowing anything and you know the learning curve is pretty quick. You start to pick up things pretty rapidly and before you know it you actually feel comfortable and you start building that family bond with the rest of the guys and before you know it, it just feels natural. The Marines are split into a crew of four Marines that are assigned specific jobs within the team. Paul's into the Marine Corps mentorship program. Our crew is mostly our mentees. As a crew chief, you're normally a mentor. As far as our team goes, our turntman overall has everybody's back so I guess it'll almost be like the ground side of the sawgun and always having each other's back and ready to put rounds down range for them and for us being able to suppress the fire at any time if there were to roll over or anything like that. Handline would be pretty much like your rifleman.  The rescueman, his main job is to go in with the handlinemen, help them out, spot fires for him and then just go in and perform his job as far as bringing in the gear necessary to extract a pilot or crew chief or anybody that's a board aircraft. Lance Corporal Barry Bethia, a rescueman on the crew, says his experience in this job field has been great. Honestly, I got really lucky. To me, this is one of the greatest jobs I think anybody could have, honestly. There's a great sense of camaraderie here and there's just an experience like none other. The Marines respond to any crisis that occurs on the flight line, from a landing gear malfunction to a crash. They constantly train to ensure they are ready at all times. Reporting for Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, I'm Sergeant Max Pennington.


The following is a presentation of TFNN Trade what you see with Larry Pezzavento Call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> now Larry Pezzavento Hi folks with that Mozart overture This is Basil Chapin sitting here for Larry just heard that Larry has his I think he's throwed or something It wasn't it wasn't good And I shouldn't be doing this because I had trouble with the earphone, but I think we're on so here we go I'm looking at the Dow down 423 31,456 what I'm going to do in the show Which is Larry's hour, but I thought it would be important. I just do to cover some things I know many of you asked you would object to some of the grains of different commodities So let me do that. The Dow right now is down 450 to 31,046 the S&P The S&P is trading down 39 at 3884 so this candle that I talk about chapter of Roman candle if there is a move within two sessions Sometimes it's usually one or two sessions below half way of the long-legged back this day 3868 if there is a move more than 90 minutes below that level You got to be careful because it's very quickly test the left side of the candle which is 38 123 index 100 if trades for another I'm going to give it another thing 20 minutes if a trade time is 2 H5 is a Morning on this Tuesday If we close at least on the 10 minute block if a continuous whole is 285 And I would I would say let's give it all the way to the show if it does that there's a All the next day test to it with the lower Friday looking at the IWM the Russell 2000 also very bad Larry loves to look at was gold and he's got all these Areas this to that so right now it's at the 200 feet ripping eggs, of course I've never used to giving out what I have right here and there's two Sun is breaking up. Oh What a day So that is not good because that just means the whole purpose doing this and I've got a Ringing in the years from a telephone I will talk a little bit slow, maybe that's different. Let me know We're looking at the Dow the gold at 1865 right on period Sonic dissonance I'm going to be good, but I'll do this and then I'll have to try something It's at George Resistance it was support became resistance and it has been this is the gold But if you look at the gold mine is that I actually like to cheat them as the lead I prefer to see the gold mines for gold What we're looking at is that it's in leg C way under the 200 be moving out 25 So 32.7 Leg see so that says that gold stocks are not participating as well as you're looking at the dog Don't made a high of 5.1 in the continuous contract That says that the 50 period moving out of 101.42 when it's going to the 101.40 Really important support. I must say that already I'm very close to giving itself signal on the daddy not yet a cell mode But there's a return to both because I agree it's under the 14th period. So within that context is Okay, that's helping that's to see that's helping we're looking at the dollar. Let's look at the USD JPY and the dollar and the goal and dollar and the Yan usually go in the same direction of this the same They don't progress in the same way direction wise they do so USD JPY also trading down Down 1.26 at 126.62. I'm about to give this I am in fact going to give it a down arrow Which is in the cell signal it could even upgrade to a cell mode. So you've got these key currencies the dollar at the end pulling back That's helping the USD JPY move very nicely as I said in my show that I just a moment ago you are you Right at the 50 I was 0725 and this is a really good move and it's almost like you've gone in lately You've got a buy signal they upgrade to a buy mode. I'm prepared to put an up arrow now Euro which is saying euro is now sided up and With that next let's look at the The TL there's a good box box trading at leg C here again I have to consider that this is stochastic at 85C Magnetic good, and I'm not sure If I'm getting close to the break I have everything said because It's a hundred forty two thirty seconds up almost two points. That's a big move And that says the left side high that we're looking at I'll show you some Even though I reshown there in heavy breathing averages It doesn't matter because sometimes come to the same conclusion And this is that this particular job right here About my Friday, maybe Monday So that said I Usually go to the law bar this particular case Because it's That give us a green Left side right side price time matches this case is looking to be surprised. That's this there is why By By next week by early next week trading above One one point one point one four three point and at nine six that's the US Treasury bond So So I do the best I can in terms of that and I want you to show you something else with a TLT Also good funny enough It's a little bit bit Hey, we'll see what happens and where the Vix is it right now.

It's like a low-case age usually tells The first week of the second ppk or pp in terms of ppb minus as it goes underneath the left side low That's the same rule of thumb On the left as we had with the huge art formation in the uh Euro dollar now what happens is you've got three bars to charge the middle here is 80 15 country and it says that At bit point went below the low that was made to the week of the 28th of january at 32,960 And it's the third that it's been there. This is called the chap we broke the candle And it's a very positive aspect Can close above the high for two out of three bars We keep on that a very positive But if the stars trade in the middle of the scandal for a good three hours or four hours of session Be careful that 25,000 Low that was made about two weeks ago That's that's the rule of thumb is that If it holds, I don't know about that but about this week and next week closes On any hundred This is now any day if it starts straight most of the day below 28,500 Be careful because it's Low and very quickly Now a couple of things that I need to look at because We think the context of say the lady I was asked about lady yesterday and I said no no no This is it's not breaking down It's just stuck in the range remember rectangle formation can last a lot longer than the patience And if you do this you see that it's basically in a rectangle formation and you can make it a smaller one say Continuous contract trading 47 Is right at the 50 Yesterday and it pulled back but then it's holding above the 90 In period of moving average that's good Magnet is good stochastic kind of weak at 45% unbalance volume the blue is just And yet if it manages to go to 965 on any lady flows Lady There's a good chance that if you go to my signal If you're crossing green Then you can have another test of my I can just tell you that it should trade any point in the next week To over 972 I would have to put 975 so 975 That would be a very good Each time it's just stuck in the range P.A.L.L is Palladium Palladium is Palladium physical Palladium Starting at 185 I made a P.D. the monthly trial This is quite deadly I think they did it again I was taking about 85 of the P.A.L. that's 300 And Yeah, too. We're just looking at sideways action So let's do this once you look at the questions came in about Poodle Now I can only look at Poodle on T.U.'s contract At this point you got 9 cents or got 8 cents At 110.7 What I am looking at is in Upper range of this particular Registry here You see that I can draw a little rectangle And say that the larger rectangle of the of the weekly chart I hope you just take this because you need to see First of all monthly chart, look at this The top of the tops can be made. Look at all those tops that were made for years 2010 2014 Yeah, that was 110, 120 years ago It just stuck. Couldn't get out this quick And then it plumped it down And then what happened is it wrapped it up And it came 30 down to the 8.4 20.20 look I've got that as 7.60 The 6 is the country's 1.50 The 4.50 change Actually it's minus $1.19 I'm going to put that in because that's what it's written as minus Minus $1.19 That's April whatever it is the chart pattern is absolutely accurate everything's accurate except the price gets smoothed out because it's a continuum And it gets reached out so the April low 2020 and then it runs up and it goes to runs up to 89.72 that That goes to 125.83 25.83 5.83 for whatever the high is That wasn't changed That was March 2022 Whatever that high that's the and now you're starting to see we creeping up So this is that inverted travel way roman candle And that says if there is a trade in the monthly chart we're looking at Any day Kudo trades closes above 150 Be aware that it could really quick go to 125 So within that context what we're looking at is it's in a high level consolidation It's just in a trading a very narrow trading range And it can stay this way for a little while as long as it doesn't break significantly above the high of 112 112 79 the continuous contract that was the high it was made On the 17th of May if it does that and the source to trade towards that 150 area Everything kicks in there's a little mini rectangle right there in the day in the weekly chart says You make higher highs and higher lows. What's the trend? The trend is higher highs or higher lows. What's the trend down? Lower highs and lower lows So that's What you're looking at is we are looking at the Kudo having a high level consolidation And all we can look at at this particular point is to say well high level consolidations can continue for a whole for a while Very very big you make one spike to the upside and then if you come back down into the rectangle point of rectangle out Normally just a bunch below the rectangle So that's Kudo. We want you to look at heating oil each job and these are continuous contracts There There it is. Oh, I haven't updated this. Oh, what I can't do. So this P a B c1 c2 all right at 3.81 It's saying that yes, there's also a high level. It looks a little bit like the dollars pull back quite sharply from the high But it's still in the high rates at 2.8. I always say 3. A close below 20 at any time in the next two weeks is oh Kudo is about to be back And if it breaks above The high of six of uh A the weekend six of back of 4.27 this say it goes to 4.35 or higher That's this even crude oil starting to be impacted by all these different rates So the question came up.

I think we actually resolved a whole bunch of those things during the break And uh, now let me show you a couple of things. So you see this pattern right here this rectangle pattern I'm going to put an up arrow here which suggests that In time Alone we've gone to a leg c and a peak c and the trap wave. We're always looking for identifying the lowest Low bar and from there counting each successively higher peak. Let me just do this real quickly And from the low bar, we like to count each excessive peaks. Um, this is Successively alphabetically abcd D is where other things can happen the fourth highest peak, but it can go e f and g It can recycle and have a whole brain you move to the upside So A buy signal gets upgraded to a buy mode under certain conditions certainly in a leg b There's a good chance that it can be upgraded. We just did that. You saw I upgraded the daily charts of bonds I upgraded the daily chart of the euro And I said that you've got a comparable sell signal in the dollar Well, even though we've been along since 90.07 via the uup since 2018 We're still thinking that there's some kind of a pullback coming and um, so this here goes from a buy signal To a buy mode meaning that there should be at least four higher peaks at the fourth highest peak other things can happen But it takes you to that fourth highest peak. So here we are. We're looking at this peak c right here You've gone. You haven't gone. You just need to go fractionally above it and you get yourself a leg d Hasn't happened yet and my rule of thumb is in a narrow rectangle A rectangle can last a lot longer than your patience And that's exactly what we see in a market like this where you go up 600 points in a day Friday 600 points in a day Monday um to see a trading ban between three 3891 and the e-mini And three let's call it 380. Let's go to that low there 3875 In the in the uh, this is the one minute chart For for this amount of time from 10 20 actually just a little before 10 20 to where we are now an hour Hour and a quarter and you're stuck in this range. So this is really important if you have to look at the n q n q h hopes a and q m 2 2 There we go That's also being in a range, but it's making slightly higher highs and higher lows and that means this is peak a peak b peak c Recycle a Also a b and a c and then you get a combination of a d. Let me put that in many of you like to look at this So this is your peak a right here. Yeah, as long as you don't take out the low bar It's still current. This is your a Up a case on the way up. This is your c underneath it. You have an a You have a b you have a c and low and bold you get your d d is slightly higher than that. That's called the cumulative uh Peak d overlapping because of when peak a bc and underneath it. It had another mini a bc or at least a gray a bc That should always take you to a d and then you get a pullback But it's still the nine is still holding above the four the 14 period moving average to just at this particular moment There's still some upside residual strength We'll see if that holds right and there's your rectangle. This is the Uh one minute n q m and it makes a difference You saw these are the same notations I use on the monthly chart But it just doesn't matter what time frame Now let's get we'll skip that and what I want you to look at my questions came in Let me see where was it here um Yeah, the mic should be good, right?  So questions that come in. Let me just see Yes, so bitcoin. Let me just do this btc bitcoin had a spectacular move This is the continuous contract went to the what's the objective in the chapter way methodology to get you to at least a d in a buy mode Well, I went to a d in the in the monthly chart. It went to a d at 69,950 in the Weekly chart it went to the last one. It was a d in the daily chart It's slumped down to 25,350. So what do I do? I normally just grab my the trade station tools and I go Whoops like that And this is tells me you've been in for a week in a one two three four five six seven eight nine ten 11 12 so for about 11 or 12 bars 11 or 12 days in bitcoin It stayed in the strain in the in this trading band this narrow of the being having huge moves into uh, into day sometimes because this move right here into day just the one that made the low on the 12 that went from 25,350 to 30 100 I would say a six 700 point move Is is that's pretty big and yet it is stuck in this narrow range So it's it's testing the waters is it bear isn't going to be able to break to the upside Normally what I would be looking at in a pattern like this is that there is one Failure in the H the dreaded H pattern the dreaded H pattern is this pattern right here. Remember I mostly look at three I mostly look at three I have directional moves straight up straight down cup formation arch formation And the dreaded H is where at a peak a or b it fails and comes down and retest the left side low How it deals with that is one thing and on the right side is the green Y reverse Y formation how it deals with this left side high is the most important thing So yeah, we go. We've got the dreaded H Potential pattern here and it says if there is a close in bitcoin below 27,600 That's 1400 or so points below this level around Be careful because there could be a real quick move. Oh, I did this already remember. I said bitcoin This is the chaplain wave roman candle right here has a tiny little wick a long legged body and then closes a half to Two-thirds off the low and that just says at any point if you start to trade under 28 300 You're probably going to retest the 25 000 350 error. That's why this moment right now. It's going to be so so important and So I did that I did that oh wood This is the i shares global timber and forestry etf peak b in the monthly chart peak d And look at the sharp pullback in the weekly peak d in the day. Look at the sharp pullback So it's held so well so far. Now. Look at this as a global unit High wood i shares timber and forestry etf. That's that is really good action Except now it's starting to weaken and now we're going to be watching it because I like to put wood Wod this is the symbol for the i shares global timber and forestry etf Um trading at 85 59 dollar dollar 17 and let's go to High-grade copper. I put them together because look it's almost the same pattern in the monthly chart Now look how fantastic this is look at this beautiful kind of cup formation Um, I didn't want to make it a cup formation because it's a little lopsided But sometimes we get these gravy cups where there's a lopsided test to the to the most recent high In this case the most recent I was way back in 2011 round about five bucks It slumps down to the two area has a wonderful way of going up to the most recent high And now it's at a peak c and pulling back. But look at this Wod and this is the international the global economy um It's almost the same pattern on the right in the monthly chart So I like to put them together and that's just saying internationally. Maybe there's been up until now uh Pretty good Pretty good stabilization at these higher levels of these key And very uh, particularly oriented I'll be back buzzer trap.

That's tfnn.com then hit watch tiger tv We'll go start over to there and we're back our basal chaplain sitting here for larry piz event I believe larry maybe I'm not sure if he has sore throat just wanted feeling great after fabulous webinar the other day and I just I had told same thing with with the the Speaker I just for some reason I couldn't I couldn't get it. I'll do a replay sometime I really I'm upset that I missed that especially set aside time that I love hearing larry's Technical veracity and all the different techniques that he has so look at this the rectangle formation could last a lot longer than your patients Now we've got a smaller rectangle now. It's getting to the point where it's saying I'm making slightly higher higher lows I haven't yet broken out to the upside and that just says I could within that context We've got a peak c1 I'll talk about that just for a moment those of you do chaplain wave analysis You know what I mean? So this is right here and there's another one c1. This should go to a d But there it is we're on our way leg d as we're talking about it This is exactly what we're talking about. You had the raised rectangle formation and now for the very first time It's only a one-minute chart. I can say that there is some kind of base attempt being established How that's going to unfold for the rest of the day is just it's It's really critical But I am looking at it as saying We've gone above it.  It's like the 200 period moving average. Aha 200 period moving average That means that if we start to trade There's a one-minute chart, but the the principles are all the same It doesn't matter what time frame if there is a touch of three eight nine seven point 50 Then the target of three eight nine nine point 81. Of course, this doesn't know about the futures trading in quarter points that 38 99 50 area will become a target and once it becomes a target look for the first time Since it broke down look how important the 200 period moving average was look at an unbelievable It was support for About an hour and a half and then at a peak d it broke down and it fell all the way from the 339 36 area and it plummeted down to the 38 3870 and now look at this the rectangle formation says Remember the rule on the upside is that can go to a high level consolidation Break to the upside once and then you got to be careful if it comes back and takes out the base Well, this is exactly the opposite You you took out the support and now you're breaking the base This is a real big positive because it says finally this is what i'll be looking at all day We'll see if we're going to be able to hold this but what we're looking at is the ESM 22, this is the One-minute e-mini He's starting to show signs that says aha The magnies good that nine period moving average for some time now has been above the 14 The stochastics finally above 80 to 80 percent at 82 percent on balance volumes lagging, but it is rally These are all good signs just one minute chart. That's all and now you're going to store property at the 200 period moving average So let me show you something here. This is the The 10-minute chart what I always say peak D is what you want to be looking for peak D at 7 10 this morning 720 at 39 48 point 50 pulls back to where the 200 period moving average gives a really nice Bicycle goes to peak D from the low of 10 10 at 39 06 point 50 runs up to a peak D at 10 10 bars 12 At 39 79 pulls back under look the nine period moving average is still above the 14 So even though it went down below it It gave a nice signal to say hey, I could rally and retest the left side high Well, what does it do? It goes peak a peak b peak c There was an east dash c because when you get to the previous high You've got to consider that there's the match. You remember I talked about the test The vertical test because the technicals were so strong there and look at the technicals here They weren't that strong. So it pulls back holes and then it goes to the peak D pulls back And you can do another test and say hey, this one was also very weak and it pulled back very sharply and what happened Look how important the 200 period even on a 10 minute basis. Look at this It held the 10 minutes the 200 period moving average Which is at which was at that point at 39 37 And it held it all this way a support support support At uh, uh, one o'clock This morning, I guess it was oh, that's right one o'clock this morning It pulls back gives a really nice balance to a peak a b Now this is something that my my subscribers to moping and calling her very well There's a technique that I call it's almost the same as a d. It says that the price Had enough technical veracity to say It could have gone one quarter point above that previous high But if you get enough peak c1 or c2 And then see a pullback that can act as a deterrent like a d Well, the 200 period moving average acts as a deterrent and look we we plunge and now i'm going to tell you that this is now a peak a And we're in a leg b I have to call it a gray leg a and a gray leg b because the stochastic is very weak At 20 3% but look the magnum is about to turn positive if the nine period moving average closes over the 14 period moving average Any time between now it's it's 10 minutes to 12 eastern time between now and 12 30 There's a really good chance that we actually have finally made some kind of a low today And then we're going to have a really good balance. It's going to be more a rally than a balance And there you are Look we use the 200 period moving average for a moment restore two bars and now we've broken up in leg d Whoa, let's see if the qqq Has gone over 380. What was it 385 for some of the q123? Yes, sorry 285.95 right on the 200 period moving average and we've got peak a peak b1 b2 This is peak c a peak a peak b peak c and then it goes to a d. It's the same as the dow as the e mini chart and then it goes to um an e and then it goes peak a b c This is leg d So one minute chart has gone to a leg d stored right at the 200 period moving average Huh, wow I'm not going to say it saved the day But just for this particular phase, you remember I like to think of the day's two phases or three phases Sometimes it's four and within that you get your early morning between six o'clock or 6 30 in the am eastern time You can have a spectacular right you're going to do all your trading and be done by 9 or 9 30 Then you've got this 9 30 to 10 30, which could be 11 o'clock And then you've got this period between 11 o'clock and 130 then what happens after 130 to 2 o'clock is like another day So the day is young as I like to say and we're not only down 263 the sbs down 63 So that's a start for me. That's just it's it's nice to see Because it's a validation of a technique that I've been discussing live Uh, we've gone to d we've retested we've pulled back one bar if this whole area of 30 30 901 to 30 I'm busy doing a show instead of trading it The 30 902 to 30 38 98 if that becomes supported any pull back and at any point by 12 10 to 12 15 The 3915 level is touched in the emini It means you're now above in the two-minute chart you're above and these automated chaplain wave Support and persistence levels of oh, I'm not always following that but that's what's there And it says 200 we're moving average resistance. That's where is that right now? Well I'll be back in a moment. Bells are trapped and bells down 29 282. Yes, it's down 60 Like that sitting for Larry for the ventures.

It's above the 200 period moving average if it's and the nine is above the 14 So you see this little conglomerate of moving averages here It says look you've got to consider them when you go sideways You just join the rectangle narrow rectangle formation Now the issue will be does this become a double top? Well, the technicals are actually not bad right here So the uh, this is the nq the nq should 11,895 Is the 695 is key support if at any point the nq starts to trade above 11,780 11,820 This afternoon that's going to be really good So this is a difficult time right here because you're just about the magnitude of the 200 period moving average Is extant and as far as i'm concerned the 20 the e-mini pretty much Broke above and now here too that magnet of the 200 period moving average will it become a propellant rather than repellent? My eye says based on the action of the the 10 minute chart This is the the silicon like from a dating to a monthly says that this should be a leg b and if The nine eventually crosses above the 14 that should take you to the 39 27 200 period expedition moving average of the day any break to the downside that sees a 10 minute close below 3892 Says you're dreaming. I'm not going anywhere. I'm stuck But if it starts to rally it says, you know what with all this infighting that's going on in the market between the bulls and the bears There are just a modicum of of positives that can allow you to see some kind of a Bouncing the upside So i'm going to also do this just as we're about to Finish this program. Remember i'm just sitting in for ladders to enter they should be back I believe it should be back tomorrow. I normally my shows the tiger technicians hour 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock eastern time and my service is the Opening call my daddy newsletter key key moments now are going to be in the vixx index Holding so high In the 30.31 area if at any point today it starts to trade can't just go there, but it has a trade at 29.80 or lower I didn't like it to get a decent rally so um What I can say is I like a lot of looking around Up vices so far now a short term basis for the upside
