So far we've said that a single covalent bond consists of one pair of shared electrons. However it is possible to form double and triple bonds as well. Let's look at fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen molecules. Fluorine has seven valence electrons. It requires one more for a full outer shell. When a diatomic fluorine molecule forms each atom requires one more electron so they form a single bond, each sharing one electron and getting one from the other atom. The remaining valence electrons are called non-bonding electrons because they don't participate in the bond. Oxygen has six valence electrons. It requires two more for a full outer shell. When a diatomic oxygen molecule forms each atom requires two more electrons. So when the atoms get together rather than simply sharing one electron each they share two each. This means two pairs of electrons are involved in the bond and we call this a double bond. For convenience we draw it as two parallel lines with each line representing a pair of electrons. Nitrogen has five valence electrons. It requires three more for a full outer shell. So in a similar fashion to the oxygen it shares three electrons which means the bond is made of three pairs of electrons. This is a triple bond, the strongest kind of covalent bond. As we've said the electrostatic attraction that causes a covalent bond arises because the nucleus of each atom is attracted by the bonding electrons. The atoms have to be very close for this to happen. But remember that the two nuclei of the atoms are both positively charged. So if the atoms get too close the nuclei will start to repel each other. We can explore the balance between the electrostatic attraction and repulsion using a diagram like this. Vertical axis of this graph represents the force between the two atoms. When it's above the middle line it's representing a repulsive force. When it's below it's an attractive force. The x-axis represents the distance between the two nuclei. If we start with two atoms a long way away they don't feel each other. Their electrostatic fields aren't interacting and the force between them is at zero. If we bring them closer the nucleus of each atom starts to interact with the electric field from the electrons of the other atom. A slight attraction is experienced. This pulls the atom in closer and the attraction grows. You can see our line is dropping further below the middle of the graph. At this point the nuclei are not repelling each other because they're shielded from each other by their electron clouds. The atoms continue to get closer until the point of maximum attraction is reached. The atoms are now at their preferred distance and the attraction is strong. We would say at this point that a bond has formed. If we force the two atoms closer together the two nuclei come within range of each other. The electron clouds are so far overlapped that they can't shield the positive nuclei from each other and so they start to repel. So the attraction turns into a repulsion. This forces the atoms apart again until they reach their preferred distance. This preferred distance, the length of the bond, is different for different atoms. A rule of thumbs is that the shorter a bond is the stronger it is. This makes sense. If the electrostatic attraction is able to pull the atoms closer together then it must be able to cancel out a greater level of repulsion from the nuclei. Double and triple bonds are shorter than single bonds because there are more electrons involved and so a greater level of electrostatic attraction.


What's up everybody, it's Stas here and in this video we're going to be doing an overall market update, taking a look at the Dow Jones, the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ, we're also going to be doing a trading update talking about what I did today in the markets as well as some stocks and ETFs that I'm watching and looking to trade right now in the month of November heading into the month of December here in 2019 and as you guys read in the title we're also going to be taking a look at Tesla stock and talking about the Cybertruck kind of my opinions on it and we're actually going to jump into Tesla's website, look at it a little bit more in depth and see how much it costs to actually buy a Cybertruck as well as just breaking down you guys and D gas and taking a look at natural gases performance today. So if you guys enjoy the video all I ask from you is to simply go down below, hit that like button, consider subscribing if you do want to see further content from me and join our StrafSmart Discord group chat as well as our StrafSmart Facebook group both of those are linked down below. I don't know what's going on with my voice today guys I'm a little coughed up here so let's get into it SPX the 500 largest publicly traded US companies this is currently up $5.75 right now with about 25 actually 20 minutes here left in the markets today on Friday up 0.18% and based on this chart it's safe to say that the S&P is slowly starting to creep back up here in route to this higher high to potentially retest that all-time high and make a new all-time high right and if we zoom in a bit to that five-day-five minute you guys can see exactly what I'm talking about remember in yesterday's video how we were talking about how this still looked bearish because it was trading below that 180 SMA well the fact that we didn't dump off here and we actually broke out that's bullish now the trend is reversing especially now because we're ending off the day on a strong little swing here right and you can see if I draw this trend line over the past three days of trading you know especially if we hit a higher high here which we probably won't but it doesn't matter because it's still intact here but again over the past three days of trading this pattern of an up trend has been forming and now on Monday next week you know the trading section session next week if we do something like this then we can definitely expect a potential all-time high here on the S&P 500 that is if we shoot up here on Monday right so this is looking good especially here heading into the close with about 20 minutes left in the markets going back to that four hour chart or to it in the first place we can see if that does end up gapping up you guys can see that's the continuation of the uptrend we would have held the 50 SMA as a support which is a good sign so I just be watching the futures if I were you on Monday and of course any you know news that could affect the markets over the weekend here I'd just be in tune with that and if the large caps are pushing up on Monday futures are up and green and actually on Sunday night at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard when we get to see the futures if they're green you know that could signify or really identify a point that we may be going up on Monday so let's break down the Dow Jones here guys it's currently up 91 points here 90 points right now up 0.32 percent and just like the S&P if we go to that five-day five-minute yesterday we were talking about how this 180 SMA was acting as a resistance and we could potentially dump from there and see a further sell-off but now since we broke out of that level we're actually holding it as a support making higher highs and higher lows out of that level of resistance you know the patterns broken and now it looks bullish in terms of the trend and if I draw this line you'll be able to see it right we're in this nice beautiful uptrend channel at this point it seems like you know so I'd watch and see Monday do we gap up from here continue to move up hit a higher high and if we do if we zoom out to that one-hour chart you guys will be able to see we'll be running back up and ultimately looking to test that 28,090 level which is an all-time high and we could potentially hit a new all-time high at that point on the Dow so this is looking good this is exactly what bulls want to see at this point in my opinion heading into the weekend this is looking really bullish you know in terms of the S&P and the Dow now let's take a look at the NASDAQ which on the flip side doesn't look as bullish this one's actually read right now down about four points down 0.05% and if we zoom in a bit to this five-day five-minute although we did break above moving average resistances you know partially last night and we tried to break out heading into the morning today you know the morning session ultimately we dumped after that and we're still downtrending based on this five-day five-minute chart right we're still making lower lows lower highs this right here which was at 4 a.m. Eastern Standard was a lower high especially when we dumped that pretty much solidified that and I guess you can say we are holding support at around 82 30 which could be a double bottom maybe you know if we break out if we break out you know here on Monday that could be a good sign but as of now since we're still trending below those moving averages the double bottom doesn't matter quite yet right so I just watch that on the five-day five minute if we go back to that hour the hourly chart you guys can see it even further you know this is looking like a head and shoulders at the end of the day right left shoulder head right shoulders forming now again that 82 30 82 40 level if we dump below that that's going to be very poor for the bulls out there we may be seeing a lower level on the Nasdaq but again if this is just a double bottom triple bottom break out and we do something like this on Monday expect maybe an all-time high next week or maybe the week after because that would be a very very bullish move so now guys let's talk about what I did let me know down below in the comments what are your thoughts in terms of these markets the Nasdaq the S&P the Dow are you chilling in cash right now are you buying stocks are you selling what are you doing Ray Dalio actually I saw an interesting article today in a little bit of a video Ray Dalio is placing a one billion dollar hedge against the markets that they could potentially go down I believe by March March I think he has a billion dollar put expiring or something like that so that's kind of interesting you know coming out of you know one of the biggest investors out there I guess in today's corporate environment right so that's something to consider you know trade talks of course watching and just keeping up with the progress there that's also important because I'd argue that's the biggest catalyst on the market right now which could really push it higher or even lower if things turn sour so those are just some things to keep an eye on here and just in your heads and in your thoughts heading into the weekend so now let's talk about what I did and I personally traded you guys today guys so we talked yesterday about this double bottom breakout pattern that was kind of forming heading into the close and the fact that we broke above that 50 SMA I believe I talked about this in yesterday's video the fact that we broke above it heading into the close of the market that was very positive for me heading into today's session right from yesterday's point of view now that we turned to today's session and we actually held the 50 SMA support pre market and we actually started to run up from there this was extremely bullish to me guys so I didn't take a position pre market I really should have now that I'm looking back but I didn't and once the market open guys you guys ended up flying out of the gate so we were kind of overbought when the market opened and I was kind of scared to get in at that point in time so I actually bought into the weakness a couple of hours later after the market opened and after we saw this big run I bought into the weakness here I believe it was into the 1480s maybe 1470s I nibbled some shares then I ended up selling on this little high point here at about I think it was like 1495 to about 1498 so that's what I ended up doing very quick kind of buying into the weakness selling after the pop in you gas today from about 1475 up it was about like a 1.4% profit there on the day trade actually cut my losses in PayPal guys this is a stock that it's kind of a it's kind of the one of those situations where you swing trade the stock you're up a little bit and then ultimately the trend completely reverses on you and then you you sell it for a break even or a slight loss which is what I did in this case right and you know this this happened due to a kind of an unforeseeable you know circumstance I think I think personally the stock has been falling due to their acquisition of that company that we talked about they paid 4 billion I believe the company's called honey something I forget off the top my head but ever since that acquisition you know PayPal stocks been dropping and again this is a risk you take when swing trading a stock right looking back I should have sold out here but should have would have cut it right I did not I held on I was up at this point honestly I should have had a trailing stop that was a poor move on my part but you know 102 was my my entry roughly up here I was up like a couple percentage points and again I just broke even not really break even I lost a little bit when the stock fell down here today but that's okay because all the other swings that I'm in are still doing pretty well right now Chipotle Mexican Grill McDonald's is one that's kind of just consolidating I'm waiting for the pop I'm down a little bit on this one but still feel comfortable holding it here I'm looking to see if it pops here but if we end up dumping heading into Monday I'll be cutting that one as well so these are just some stocks that I'm currently involved with and kind of what I did in today's session so let's talk about that good old Tesla guys oh my goodness let's talk about this so Tesla you know TSLA is the ticker symbol it was down 21 points it's down actually because the markets still open 21 points right now it's down 6% and I'd love to know what your guys thoughts are on the cyber truck before I give you guys my thoughts so let me know down below in the comments right now please I'd love to know what you guys have to think so when I first saw this truck I was like what are they doing I was looking at this and I've been thinking to myself this is way too futuristic for right now this is definitely too niche of a of a truck I don't know if a lot of people are going to buy it but the truth is guys I've let it simmer in my mind a bit I've been sitting on the truck all day and the more I look at it this is a pretty sweet looking truck if I were to change one thing no let me be honest with you guys if I were to change one thing take a look at this picture here I would trim this part right off if you guys follow my cursor here I would trim this part right off and and take a look at it without that part that's a pretty sweet looking futuristic truck again the more it sits in my mind I'm like wow this is pretty pretty sweet especially for the performance of the truck and let's actually scroll down a bit and take a look at it from different angles so now from this angle you're looking at it and you're like ah you know it's not looking too sweet and again that's why I'd cut this portion right off you know what's uh you know my cursor is following here if we cut that off I think it would look much better but the way it is it's like okay it's definitely something that is different and you have to get used to right so let's take a look at some of these specs cybertruck is built with an exterior shell mode made for ultimate durability and passenger protection this is what the shell looks like I'm pretty pretty cool there here's a picture of it on the road and I think the lights the the what are these called the headlights so those are pretty sweet it's like a thin white line across I personally like that if we look down here this is a back shot of what the what the uh you know the uh the loading ramp looks like and you can see how much storage you could potentially put on there you can see the car driving or rather the truck driving here you know in some sort of desert that looks pretty cool I'll be completely honest with you guys so the storage you get a hundred cubic feet here in the back range 250 miles for the single motor a real wheel drive you know dual motor all-wheel drive is going to be different of course and their speeds are also different from zero to 60 so there's three different trucks here that you could get depending on your budget so if we were to order one you know click order now you can see okay you'd pay 100 bucks today it's fully refundable but you will be able to complete your configuration as production years in late 2021 so guys you have to realize you're not seeing this truck for at least three years at this point at least two years at this point right try motor all-wheel drive uh production is expected to begin in late 2022 so that is like three years from now two three years from now so I wouldn't expect to see these car or these trucks they're not cars the trucks on the road for another three four years probably right so you can see here 6.5 um zero to 60 which is insane and again they're different for the different um you know uh types of cars here you know 4.5 seconds zero to 60 for a truck that's insane guys and this one's 2.9 seconds to try motor all-wheel drive so these you know this truck is pretty pretty sick 14,000 pounds towing capacity 500 miles range for this expensive the most expensive one which is $70,000 and if you think about it guys the raptor how much is the four raptor off the top of my head I'm trying to think is that car a hundred grand I don't think or the truck is it a hundred grand I don't think so I think the raptor might be like 70 80k so it's in line with what a raptor would be I'd be interested to see how much this would compare to that obviously the raptor there's no way it can go three seconds I'd be shocked if it does so if we look at Tesla stock right now guys it's down six percent down 21 points and it's continuing to drop here heading into the close of the market so this tells me a couple of different things right maybe people don't like the way that this truck looks maybe they don't like the specs of it also we saw in the video this guy really just smashed the windows of the Cybertruck that were supposed to be bulletproof so I don't know that's really dragging down the stock but it seems like in general the stock is just dragging after this Cybertruck news which gives me mixed signals you know it gives me the a notion that investors and traders out there and just people in the community have mixed signals about this Cybertruck so again I'd love to know what you guys have to think about that down below and in terms of Tesla stock this could be a nice dip opportunity for anybody that wants to get in here on the momentum that we've been seeing after their earnings report when they reported that surprise profit so this is pretty much the biggest pull down that we've seen since that earnings report and probably even before that for some time now so now is the chance to get in on the dip and that's not me giving you advice to get in on the dip but if you see potential to get in in Tesla it's times of weakness where you should really strike on that opportunity and now we're seeing that weakness so we're down about I'd say 8% from that peak maybe it finds support here at around 320 to 330 that's where I'd personally look to pull the trigger and honestly I'm looking to pull the trigger potentially if it holds 322 and I'll probably give it a couple of days to wiggle out and find some support before actually entering into the stock so another one that I want to talk about today obviously is you guys like you guys saw in the title did very very well today up 8% so if you guys actually want to see a breakdown further breakdown of my opinion on you guys and degas and the natural natural gas report go check out yesterday's video I'll also link that down below in the description box but pretty much we had a withdrawal of 96 bcf billion cubic feet of natural gas yesterday and ever since that report we can see you guys initially dumped we can see it dumped down to about 12 97 13 bucks and from there it's been extremely bullish so it seems like the sentiment is slowly turning bullish right now in terms of you guys and degas actually just surrounding natural gas in general it's turning bullish after that report which is obviously you know pushing you guys up here since it's up about 15 16 percent since that bottom right after the report was issued yesterday which was on thursday and the report comes out every thursday at 10 30 a.m eastern standard time so if we go to natural gas slash ng f20 the january futures you can see this huge bullish move that we saw from about 261 up to 270 today this thing's up three percent right now and if we go to that 20 day one hour chart this is the bullish move that i was talking about in yesterday's video which is really what we need to see for the overall reversal in terms of a technical standpoint here to the upside on natural gas we're breaking that 180s to may very very good sign we also broke 266 which we talked about in yesterday's video very very good sign as well and now it seems like we're holding 269 270 you know pretty much right now at the close of the markets on friday which is a good sign because that's where we held in terms of the support we held that on the first of november before climbing up to three dollars uh in terms of the natural gas price so overall this is looking extremely bullish to me heading into the weekend am i holding u gas shares no because a lot of things can happen over the weekend you know who knows what the the futures open up at on sunday but this is a good sign nonetheless for the bulls for the natural gas bulls and for the u gas people out there so very quickly guys rapid fire some other stocks i'm currently watching right now cmg of course i'm in this one as you guys know if you've been following the channel um you know i'm really liking this one to to fill up the gap to the 50 or rather the 180s to me here at about 800 bucks that's where i'm actually looking to sell my shares that i've been accumulating in the 750 level another stock i'm watching is at v here guys for a break above this 180 sma on the four hour chart um we saw a dump today which isn't too good of a sign but overall you guys can see we're still holding a higher low here so if we do get that breakout on monday on this hourly chart that could equate to a nice entry based on the four hour break which would be above that 180 sma so that's another one that i'm watching um of course mcdonald's we don't need to talk about that uh because we already kind of looked at it i'm just waiting to see if it breaks up here uh facebook i'm looking at this one as well for a potential fill up to 205 bucks and really that's it guys i don't want to spend too much time on this because i know this video is long enough already let me know down below in the comments any stocks or ETFs that you want me to talk about in sunday's video also again don't forget to let me know the comment in the comments what are your thoughts on the cyber truck i'd love to know what you guys have to think about that and if you want to be further connected with the community the strife smart discord links down below the facebook links down below as well so i'll catch you all in the next video don't forget to like and subscribe peace out


Hi everyone. This talk is about a fun project that I built yesterday night. It's called DORO, a CLI-based promoter app. So, let's jump in. So, about me, I'm Suresh Kumar. I'm a system architect and backend engineer. These are the links to my social media and blog. You can check it out. So, the reason for building this project, currently I'm fun working, exploring a lot of stuff. So, recently I came across the Python Rich Library. It has a lot of nice features. And another reason is I usually practice Pomodoro to get my work done. So, why not build a Pomodoro app just for fun? So, those are the reasons. So, for the folks who don't know what is Pomodoro, it's a time management technique where you do focused work sessions and take a frequent short breaks. This will actually help you improve concentration and focus. So, here's how it works. So, you pick a task and set a 25 minutes timer and then work on a task until the timer is up without any distraction. And then you take a five minutes break. You do this repeatedly to get your work done. So, next, this is about a tool. To install, you have to P3 install Doro. And then I can configure it via Doro config where you can set the focus of our break minutes and then the color scheme. And then to start with Pomodoro session, all you have to do is Doro start. And then it also has a countdown timer feature where you can say Doro countdown and the number of minutes. It will run the timer. And once the timer ends, it will actually play a bell music. So, next. So, these are the tools I used to build Doro. The main utility is Rich and then Typer. So, Rich, Rich, it provides a lot of beautiful features like color schemes, then layers, tables, syntax highlighting. It also supports markdown and it has built-in progress bar utility. The features I used from Rich is color utility and then progress bar. And then Typer is a CLA framework built on top of Click. It has built-in type annotation support. I used Typer for CLA abstraction. So, this is a demo of the Pomodoro session. So, it will run the timer. This is actually fast-forward the demo. So, once it completes, it will play the bell music and then ask you for a start the break session. You need to say yes or no. And then it will again run the timer. So, once it ends, no one Pomodoro session is complete. And it also has a countdown feature where you see Doro countdown and the number of minutes. It will run the timer and then play the bell music at the end of the countdown. So, these are the links I can use to check out this project. GitHub.com slash Richeskey slash Doro is the main project. And this is the PyPy link. The tools I used are Typer and Lich. And then it's open source. You can actually, a lot of things are, needs to be built on top of this. So, free to collaborate. If you have any questions and, you know, you can reach me out on Twitter and the LinkedIn at these links. So, that's it. Thank you for the opportunity.


So basically, I have my towel on right now. I think what I'm gonna do is like drop my towel in front of him while we're vlogging and kinda get his reaction. I'm gonna drop my towel on, I'm gonna show you guys. Like literally I have no clothes on. Babe! What? No! What is good in Marvel Squad? And welcome back to our channel. If you guys are new, make sure you wanna hit that subscribe button and give this video a big thumbs up and just join the Marvel family because Team Mariah comes after the lip pranks. If you guys are new here and you don't know that already, Team Mariah is the best team and you will see that throughout this channel. And today, actually, Team Mariah is coming back and we're about to get his little booty bug good. Even though this isn't really a prank, it's more of like getting his reaction, seeing how he like reacts to the thing that I'm about to do. Before I get onto explaining what I'm about to do, I wanted to give you guys a little bit of a lip update. I just did my full glam today and it's crazy because I haven't done my makeup since I got my lips done. This is what they look like with makeup done. So I think that they're a little bit still swollen but I'm in love with the size and it's looking so good. Ah, I just love it. I just wanna give you guys a little bit of an update. I'm not sore anymore. I'm actually feeling really good and I'm ready to freaking go. They're still stiff where I can't do like a kissy face. It hurts. Oh, it doesn't hurt but I just can't do it. But guys, today, if you guys are wondering where Bill is at, I'm in my vanity room right now at the door shut. Bill is actually cleaning up in the garage right now. We have our friends, Anna and Anthony. If you guys don't know them, you should go subscribe to their channel. They are the sweetest, genuine people ever and we've been looking for friends to hang out with in the Florida area and they're actually content creators too, which is awesome because we can relate with something and they live in Tampa.  And we met up a couple of weekends ago. Oh my God, I love them. So we're gonna have them over at our house tonight. I think we might vlog a little bit of that later on to make sure you guys are watching all the way through. This video is gonna be super fun. We're also gonna meet up in TikToks and stuff with them. So stay tuned for that. But to get on into what we are doing today, so basically I have my towel on right now. I think what I'm gonna do is like drop my towel in front of him while we're vlogging and kinda get his reaction. We do have our windows open, which I know he's gonna freak out about that because he doesn't want people seeing through the house. Obviously on the same way, like it's gonna be really weird. But Team Mariah's gonna come back doing a little bit more of a scandalous Team Mariah prank slash reaction video. So yeah, you guys won't be seeing anything but you guys will be seeing his reaction. So make sure you guys are staying tuned.  I want you guys to comment down below letter by letter scandalous. That's a long word.  We also, me and Bill, once we get the vlog going, we're gonna talk about something super exciting that we got from Ebo Bot. It's basically like this like camera thing. I'm gonna show you guys it later. But for right now, I'm gonna finish up getting ready and get this video on a roll, guys. I'm super excited to get his reaction. This is the first time doing my full glam too. Like he's already gonna be like, damn.  This is about to be a fun video. All right guys, before I get on today's video, I actually wanna show you guys the Ebo Bot really quick. If you guys don't know who they are, it's basically a camera that moves around the house. It's kinda like you can like watch your dogs or your pets or kinda just like check up on the house, which is super cool. I'm gonna pop up their Instagram on the screen right here, guys. Go check them out. Go show them love. It is a super cool and convenient like camera. I think it's so cool. And it's so affordable. This is the Ebo Bot. Look at how cute it is. It has like a little heart and it moves. I'm gonna move it really quick so you guys can see. And I'm gonna kinda show you guys how it works. So literally you go to the Ebo app, you press it, okay? Okay guys, so you guys can see me right here, okay? So watch this. So look it. It moves around. Literally guys, look at this camera quality. Like it is so good. You can move it like whichever which way. Here's I'm gonna move it this way. And what's cool about this thing is like, see how cool it is? Snap absolutely loves this thing. Like wherever we're away and I like take this off the dock. Literally Snap comes running in the room and it's so cute. So if you guys like kinda want your pet to kinda feel more at like home and like, or make it feel like you guys are at home with them, you can literally talk through it too. And Snap loves it cause he can hear our voices and he loves that thing. And basically what's cool about this too is it docks itself. So say like you can't like re-dock it. It literally like positions itself and docks it like this robot vacuum. So it's super cool guys. You guys have to totally check them out.

It's probably not gonna be ready guys but this is basically supposed to- So you got it to work? Go right here. Well, I got that one to work. But this one is being another behind the camera. If you're wondering why I'm vlogging, it's because I wanted to update them about my lips. Dude, doesn't her lips look so good guys? Hype it up in the chap right now. The swelling has went down. I think it looks so natural and it fits my face. Like I love it. Especially with the- I'm still gonna have to kiss it. Like what, did you put lip gloss or?  Oh yeah, you can see like a bruise here and here but it's gonna look way better when bruising is here. But I thought, I thought since you know my lips are a little bit, how am I gonna close these really quick? Cause I have a surprise for you and I don't really know- Wow, the lighting is good. I know but I don't really want anyone to see me. But the lighting is- I know but I have to show you something.  With your makeup? With my makeup done and my hair done. A whole masterpiece. What the- Babe! What? No!  You don't like me, Nadee? Hold it, hold on, hold on. What? I know, I know but you can just see it full. Like just a whole like glammed up, just you know, makey-nakey. Snap! Did you snap? Snap! No, snap! Close your eyes! I'm naked! Let me see this. Babe, put some clothes on. Put this on. No! We're vlogging. I know we're vlogging but I kinda just wanted to get you this. I know I wanted to see like how you would like it. Stop, right. Dude, don't you like it? I like it. Stop, camera. No, stop! Babe! Stop! Oh my gosh!  Why? You can't handle it? You can't handle the sass. No, we- You can't handle- You can't handle the juice? Babe, come on. No, I'm not gonna come on. Why aren't you hyping me up? Why aren't you making- You look good! You look good, but I'm not trying to do this on camera. We don't do this. I know we don't do this. No one can see anything but you. So why don't you admire it? I hope no one can see anything. Well, that's why I close these blinds. Literally, people who live right behind just can see directly in. Babe, you are literally- Snap! I'm naked! No. Babe. What? As much as I'm naked, can you please put the towel back on? Nope. Because I want to- Distract me! I thought you were gonna have a better reaction. Distract me from the bottom spot. You don't love it? I love it. Yes. Then why don't you just- No, it's not awkward. Look, even Sam's coming down. He's gonna admire me. No, he's not. Yes, he is. He's gonna admire me. No! Bill! Stop!  Cause I'm staying naked for the rest of the video. When Anna and AC come, I'm staying like this. No, you're not. Let's just free the nudity.  I don't- You're not like that. Okay, but I want to show on- Who cares? Let's normalize naked bodies. We all look the same. I don't think it's ever gonna be normalized. We all look the same. No, we all look the same. Well, I'm gonna make it normalize staying. Anna and Anthony are gonna figure out who the real me is. They're really not. Yes, I am. Yes, I am. They're gonna love it. I know, they're gonna like it.   Oh, you put it on. Stop throwing it at me. I don't care. No, I don't care. I thought you would like this. I do. Babe. Stop, stop, you're being too daring. No, no. No, I wanna be daring. Okay, what do you want me to do? Okay, so what do you rate it? What do you rate my body? Zero out of 10, five out of 10. 10 out of 10, watch the reflection. 10 out of 10. 10 out of 10. Only a 10 out of 10? 100, a thousand out of 10. Yes, thank you. I appreciate that. Babe, you're hot AF, yeah. All right, you wanna wrap me up? Yes.  As much as I wanna see your body like that, I'd rather not do that on camera, guys. I'm sorry, why is that necessary? Because I wanted to kind of like give you full glam stats. Why did you give me that before you turned on the camera? Because I was filming a video where I was walking around like this to see how you would react.  We didn't even start filming. What, you told me? You, we literally did not film one clip together today.  I was gonna say, there's no way. There's no way that this girl is- You already know. Not wearing a towel for our friends. You already know. Why are, this is, oh my God. Mariah's in a funk today, guys. I am not in a funk, I'm in a good mood. I think the lip injection, we did both workouts yesterday, so it hurts. I think the lip injections is getting into your brain. No, it's not. You are funky. See, Mariah is back in the house. Oh, okay, yeah, right. We are back in the house. I've been showing them once. No, I said I was gonna prank you before. Ha, ha, ha, ha. You know what? This is a reaction. Comment down below. Hold on, hold on. What? You should appreciate this reaction.  But, not on camera, guys. Please, DM me some prank ideas, because I took care of this girl for 24 hours prank. That was a good video. That thing, trust me, trust me. If you were gonna do any prank, this was the best one, because I got to see all of you. But I'm not trying to do that on camera. That's like private. Oh, you know what? God, dang, Mariah. Guys, please DM me some prank ideas, because I took care of this girl for 24 hours straight in our last video. If you did not see that, go check it out. I was showing you my appreciation today. Okay. All the- But now you're making me feel bad, because I didn't like appreciate you anymore. No, you did. I understand it. I was on video. You can take it all if you want to. Okay, here we go. That's probably fine with me. Here we go. No, just kidding. Guys, stay tuned, because we have another YouTube couple that are coming to our house. I think they're really about to start driving right now. They're coming here to drive at like three. Yeah, so they're two hours away. They're in Tampa, Florida, and we're gonna wait for them to get here and see how everything is. We only visited them once. Yeah, we love them, guys. They're so sweet. Stay tuned and- Maybe I'll prank them. Maybe I'll come in and I'll just drop my towel. Oh, we should prank them. We should prank them with something. Oh my gosh, what should we do? We should ask them to do a poll on our story or something. No, otherwise, we'll see it. Okay, we need to think of something. Okay, what if we poll them? We should say our house is haunted and get like the fishing line and like put it on the cabinets or something and like move the doors. No, you won't know what we should do. What? We should tell them that we don't think that they're like suitable to be our friends. Oh my, okay, so when they get here- They got Anna and Anthony were like the sweetest people ever.  So we're gonna hide the camera later and we are going to prank them by telling them we don't- So this is like a double prank video guys. Stay tuned, we're gonna get the reactions. Now let's set this up and get it going, dude. I'm nervous now, we only met them once. Yeah, here we go. And then Anthony, if you're watching this, we totally love you guys. We love you.  You're good. And I hope- Take it, you're coming to our house. I hope we pissed them off.  You didn't do anything. So today we're showing you who's boss is our boss. Okay guys, stay tuned. All right guys, so Anthony, you're about to come in here. We're gonna hide in our menus.  Under behind the menus. We're to come in here. I know. I'm so sorry. We're on a schedule right here. It's all right. We ordered spicy garlic and a mame, so it's all, it all works out. It all works out. You guys don't understand how hard it was. I held it. Oh it's hard if I'm partying. Oh no, this part's hostile. All right guys, so we're gonna enjoy our food, but they're here. We're excited. Lava drop. You gotta get a lava drop. Like that's, no, I'm telling you, it's the deep fried sushi. It's the best sushi here. Don't even doubt me. All right guys, so we stopped at the beach really quick to get sunset pictures. They're literally taking pictures right over there. That's Anna and Anthony right there. We also just witnessed a proposal. Someone just got proposed to literally on the beach. That group of people right there. So congrats if you're watching this, which they're probably not, but we're gonna prank them next clip when we get home. So stay tuned, get ready. And let's get them, it's so funny because we've been having a great time. Yeah I know, so we're ready to- And we're just gonna say like, yeah we don't really want you guys in our house. Let's go. Are you guys filming TikTok with that sound? Yeah, cause we usually try to post like a snippet of the TikTok. I mean- Or the YouTube video, yeah, so do we. But we do it this way. Like what's that? Yeah, like the, yeah. That's what we do too. We always post like clips from our YouTube videos, but we've lately been doing it horizontally. I've seen a lot of people doing it. So we have a plan. What is that? What? This is not me, this is Mariah. No, it's not. So don't, don't- What? This is both of us. It's not both of us. Yes it is. Why are you guys filming both of us? Just tell them. And what? You tell them. You tell them. No, I'm not the one complaining. Okay. How do you guys feel about us? You guys are cool. Like you feel like we were like, we have a good connection. Yeah, what's going on? But you guys are thinking this is weird. How do you feel about that, dude? They're gonna hold this hostage in your house. Huh?  No, not yet. Mariah feels like we don't have like an amazing connection. But I feel like we've been having a good time. Really? Oh yeah, we've gone have a good connection. Oh wow. She says she's been feeling like weird vibes. Oh for real? Yeah. But I'm trying to figure out what it is. I just, I just feel like we should like, we should talk about it before, you know. I just had a hard time making friends. Yeah? But I thought you guys would like me. Has it always been like that? You're telling me this wasn't genuine this whole time? So you don't like us? She's basically saying she doesn't like us. How do you see people don't cry? Really? Thank you. Turn around. Guys, you're such. Oh my gosh. I feel something went wrong. So, so. Bro, are you serious?  We love you guys. What?  No. Bye.  Besides that, we told them that you guys were coming down, and we wanted to like film like a little like clip it, like prank something, and Mariah suggested, why don't we just tell them that we don't like them? I was like, she literally didn't like them. I literally, I did not want to do this. Wait, so, did you feel me and Mariah acting with Sus for the past like five minutes? Like, we got really quiet and we were kind of like. I mean, I noticed Mariah. I kind of noticed, but I'm talking. Yeah, yeah. I was trying to like. We were texting each other like, should we do it now? We did it. We literally, I was still uncomfortable. I was like, you do it. Like, I don't want to be like part of it, but. I don't even know how to say it. I know. You guys literally have to strike me. I'm doing a really good job of making people believe it. Where did they have the camera? Because I was looking for the camera. I did not film you guys. It was behind her purse filming my face. I did not film you guys like the whole time. I couldn't see it because I don't, me. I knew you would have been looking for a camera. That's why I literally did not want to like. Yeah, that really hurt my feelings. Guys, we're, we're, we're, this is all a joke. No, no. We obviously. But now, now that Bill like gave me a hug, he's comforting me. That's what I'm saying.  It's a terrible friend. We're going to close out the video right here. Guys, we love Ian and Anthony. I, you don't even have to say it. Like they. They hurt our feelings. I know. I'm sorry. We should just walk out now and like. Guys, it's so funny because they actually do have to go home. They do have an emergency, but it's nothing against us. They said. No. Right? Now it is yet. Um, no, they have family stuff going on. So they're not going to be able to spend the night. Yeah. So we do have to head back home. But I think we had an amazing day. We had sushi. Ice cream. We'll get back. We don't live super far away. So we'll be back together very soon. Yes. But thank you guys so much for watching. We appreciate you. Make sure to go follow them and Anna right on YouTube. Or is it Anna and Anne? And times. And it's. And times Anna. So make sure to go check them out.  Renaissance rejuvenating medicine. Like if you guys don't follow them yet, make sure you guys go follow them. So this shout out goes to Sassy Abigail. She commented on the Renaissance rejuvenating page and followed them. About Ry's lip filler. So thank you guys.  So make sure to go show them some love and make sure to go show them some love because we almost made Anthony cry. He's like the only one that you wouldn't think would cry, but. I wish it was a little short, but I guess it was a. It was a good prank. Guys, you come into our house. You come into our house. What do you expect? Like we have to put you in your place. Got him in the fields. In the marble house. Got him in the fields. Got him in the fields. She always does it. So once she gets happy, I don't know why. But guys, thank you so much for watching. We will see you in the next video. But until then, peace. Love you guys.


Hi, this is your host up in Bhartiya and welcome to another episode here for our newsroom and today We have with us Moti in the chief product officer at Napiro. Moti is great to have you on the show. Hi. Nice meeting you Thank you for inviting me. Yeah, it's my pleasure to have you here today We are going to tower x bombs which you folks and those if I'm not wrong a week or so ago But before we go there, I would love to know a bit about the company itself Talk a bit about the company mission at the bureau is so is to secure your application code and the way that it is Delivered into the cloud the fact that we're doing that in a Innovative way the fact is that the growing complexity of how application are being developed deployed coded and delivered in the last two years mainly around this Agile cloud based application is changing completely the way that Attack surface and attackers are going after applications. It's create a new completely Interconnected attack surface which combine different types of components and their relations to each other current app sectors which are Siloed and standalone looking only on open source only on secrets or only on Applicative codes are actually creating an overwhelming list of Alerts that are disconnected are to try out and even harder to remediate and to fix later on What we are doing in a bureau is actually creating a real-time inventor of your application how it was being billed how it is Executed how it is being Deployed and based on that we create the most important thing to alert striage and remediation, which is context taking this this part alerts connecting them together and making something which is a And Sensible out of them which translates to the risk of your business Which allows you to choose the important things that you need to to remediate and fix them fast That's what that's what we do in in the bureau I talked a lot of folks in a security space and wasn't a while I'll get a guest and they're like, you know what the fact is the security is actually not that complicated It's actually very easy all you have to do the right thing But the fact is that in the cloud native cloud centric word security can be very very complicated There are so many moving parts there. So from your perspective if you look at the whole evolution of From traditional IT space all the way to the cloud native Kubernetes word has security become easier or it's more challenging and complicated definitely become more complex it became more complex from three different reasons one is The way that application are being built Technically built moved from a monolith application that was built by a small set of people to a distributed application that is built by hundreds sometimes or dozens of engineers that each one is Relevant to its own sub part. This is the microservices type of a technology This means that as exactly you said that there are tons of moving parts which are changing dynamically and And not co-ordinately The second thing is that the attack surface changed The fact that the application is in the cloud and is based on running on Model cloud applications and servers and Kubernetes and identities and access third-party services that may be out of the scope of the application create simply new attack surfaces that were not Existing at all when the application set On a single machine in your data center And the third is the pace of the application So not only how it is being built and how the the infrastructure it runs onto but also the processes Back in the days an application delivery could have happened once every year or even two years or three years You had time to plan and do threat modeling and pentest etc And before you actually had a one milestone in which this application is going into production now this thing happens daily Dozens of time hundreds of time thousands of time with some of our customers and the rate of the pace It simply does not allow you to do a sequential process of understanding the risk and solving that so the combination of fast pace very distributed the methodologies and complex infrastructure that is Developed in parallel to its new attack surface new blind spots and complexities So definitely it's a long answer to say it's definitely more complex to secure more than up than a traditional app One thing that we can agree on which is actually easy is to Take at least inventory of what is running in your application or you know, whatever it is I mean if look at the assembly line of a car, you know, they're like thousands of pieces But they do know in the assembly line what's coming from where so that's where we talk about S bombs actually a few years ago the Biden's mission they also came up with the next key order Especially the open source so many moving parts are coming in Can you talk about the rule as bombs are playing in once again? First of all giving the visibility of what's there and to help companies with their security posture Yeah, so actually as as you said really right as Bob was born based on the understanding that creating an inventory of an application that was built By multiple components coming from multiple development teams and some of them and actually a growing number of them outside of the development team from the supply chain is a really A tough task. It's not easy to understand because it's changing as we said by multiple people multiple engineers multiple times a day and secondly It's very important task because that's the only way to understand your attack surface And because if you don't know what you have you cannot protect that So as bomb started on these foundations which are created a good motion across all of the industry to try and do exactly that The challenge and this is wow The we'll talk about it in a minute our move from s bomb to x bomb makes me so excited is the fact that Every vendor or sub part of the industry translated s bomb to what was comfortable to them Currently if you go to open source security vendors and ask what is an s bomb They would say s bomb is the list of all of the open source Libraries that you are using if you will go to an infrastructure company and ask that what is an s bomb They will say an n bomb is the list of all of the infrastructure components you are using They are both right and they are both not enough because In addition to the open source vulnerabilities that you are using and the infrastructure components that you are leveraging There are so many other components that are building your attack surface Your data that that that is is part of the application your api set How this thing is actually being built how this application is being deployed who developed it Did it went through pentest did it went to security review? how it was Built a long time like what happened a year ago? What happened a month ago who edited this change? all of these things Are creating together really the modern attack surface of an application and modern application in the cloud as we discussed And this is where we think that s bomb was a great step in the right way But it's not enough. It's it's repeating the issue of looking on siloed sub elements of the overall attack surface Excellent. Once again, thank you. And of course, I would love to talk about x bomb But before we go there what I do want to talk about of course you folks do A lot of open source as we were discussing before the starting of this interview The Lala open source for Linux foundation. They have spdx and a lot of projects are there which are and a lot of initiatives are there to us of course, we also need to Increase awareness about s bombs a lot of industries a lot of companies. They're not comfortable with creating generating s bombs But there is a you know, actually this is not federal government. There's a Mandate which is coming in So before we talk about x bomb, let's talk about when it comes to adoption of s bombs or when you look at hey There are still some struggle going on What do you see is happening in the market because we have to also consider Where the market is and then try to lower the bed of entries so that you know This doesn't become another hurdle or you know another task for the developers. It is something easier So let's let's see where market is in terms of adoption of s bombs great Say what we see from also from our customers the market in general I think the understanding of the complexity of modern supply chain plus regulations plus standards a situation in an increasing pace that every company understand that s bomb is not only a liability Something they need to check the box and they actually and and do but it's actually a value That only by creating An accurate picture of what they have they can actually implement the core Course and a core value of application security, which is understanding which vulnerabilities are important Where are these vulnerabilities and how to fix them? So what we see what I see is that S bomb that started as oh my god, we need to do this thing because of regulation To actually something more and more customers saying I need that For my own benefit for my own Transparency for my own efficiency for my own processes and I want it to be as accurate as possible And frictionless as possible which comes to your second part of the question um As bomb cannot be created by developers that doesn't make sense not the point of view of Um Productivity as you said and the overwhelming the developer with yet another more chart A role But also from the point of view of accuracy The only way to create an accurate s bomb is actually looking at the entire picture And remember that every developer is seeing part of the picture the service. They are responsible for So really the right scalable way durable way to create an s bomb is by doing it automatically as part of your Development processes build processes and deployment processes and making it a background A process within the company and using technology that allow you to do that when you're talking about As bombs earlier you did you know talk about x bomb and did a no slight comparison there But I do want to go a bit deeper into The the launch of x bomb what additional value is bringing Uh, and if you can also compare hey, these were some of the shortfalls or shortcomings of traditional s bombs and we are kind of You know overcoming those yes, and thank you for the question and this is again where I get I got I got excited so We understood I think based on the previous comments that the the modern application is is a complex beast that it changes constantly and And and and is developed in a distributed way and part of the attack surface is the way that is developed and the way that it is deployed I think I also try to convey the point that understanding that is a key part in order to create a security program without understanding How your application is being built you don't know what you have and you can't secure what you don't know So you have to know what you have And this is exactly what s bomb is saying and also executive governments say you need to have a provenance and understanding of how your application is being built and executed and and and deployed The challenge with s bomb that it's a partial view. It's if I take your analogy of the car It's really on the right Track, but it shows you only how how your tires are being built And now your wheel is being built But the engine is left and there is no connection between how the engine is being built and the we had the tires and the wheels Because it's clear that all of them are creating one car We think that that's exactly the challenge with existing s bomb It allows you a flat list of your vulnerabilities open source or vulnerabilities or a flat list of your infrastructure components, but really And modern application is the combination of all of these plus many mores as I said earlier The data that you are managing the function that you have The apis that you are using that the the private information pay the pi that is part of your application And if you ask a software architect how your application is being built He won't give you a list of things he or she will give you a graph usually Here is a module that connects to this api that connects to this data model that connects To this database that is deployed to this cluster, etc, etc Ex bomb is exactly that it's taking the way that the human being Software architect is thinking about an application And making it automatically automatic daily and sorry A continuous in order to Follow this structure with every commit and every code change that is happening thousands and and hundreds and thousands at a time a day so When we in apiura are coming with the concept of x bomb We are trying to say to customers and to applications securities and to application engineers Look at the entire set of your application Which is the combination of everything all of the things that they said components api code modules developer behaviors How they are being deployed data models, etc Here is the snapshot of your application Here are all of the components how they are connected And here are all of the vulnerabilities and risks that exist across all all of this application inventory so we're taking the concept of s bomb and Following exactly them but expanding them beyond open source only or infrastructure only to everything that the code is based on and For a long time. This is the thing that we are building in apiura Behind the scene and now based on customer feedback and understanding the value of it. We are saying to customers Here is your capability now to understand how your application is really being built and what is your real? Attack surface can you talk about the availability of x bomb and how you know customers can consume him it's a combination of two things that we are trying to do one is Educate and help and push the industry in order for everyone that is in our industry to be able to Create an x bomb in order for customers to To produce it for order to customers to consume it Sorry it produce an x bomb order for customers to consume it in order for customers to Have better transparency and better understanding of their attack surface in parallel For customers that are using our product Apiura cloud application security a platform We are supporting x bomb out of the box For every application that we are protecting every developer and every development environment that we are protecting You are able both to an export your x bomb x bomb Of the application and also query and ask questions within the system about the x bomb of the application For example, what are all of my apis that are touching sensitive data? That are not authenticated. So It's a both. We are trying here to create both An evolution into the of the market into where we think All vendors of our type should go and in parallel provide a product capability within apiura cloud application security platform To export and to query x bomb for the value of our customers. It may be unrelated, but I also quickly want to talk about What do you think about standards because when we look at s bombs? We are looking at components metadata. They are different Foundations. They are different stand not a standards, but different projects like Cyclone DX is there spdx is there. There are so many others What are the thoughts on some? Is standardizations around s bombs? We are not in the business of creating a new standard and a new way to actually New formats, sorry, we are not in the business of creating new formats and a new way to expose data and They actually do good standards like Cyclone DX coming from us, for example, is a really good standard the issue a standard and a capability to create to create and present complex relation between different software components We think that the main thing is around the content within this standard so the way that I we think about that is A good standard for example for x bomb or format is a cyclone db or salsa based Standards, the key thing is to agreeing in the industry about the Components and the content that is there and if you look at silent DX recent Standards, they are Moving away by themselves from looking only on open source or sub elements of the System into actually saying the full attack services of a system is the combination of I'm quoting modules and components and Connections and data between them and x bomb is actually a Thank you so much for taking time out today Of course talk about x bomb, but more importantly talk about the larger, you know with s bombs that option the challenges Thanks for all those insights and I would love to have you back on the show again Thank you. Thank you again for the opportunity and I know for me to allow me to express my excitement on what we are doing With x bomb, hopefully helping customers and enterprises and everyone that is writing code and securing it. So thank you again


With the 2024 season fast approaching, it's time to go through some predictions for next year. I'm gonna start with the ranking predictions because they are probably the hardest predictions to make, especially 12 months out. We're gonna predict the top 10 for next year, starting with the WTA side and see how many we get right in 12 months time. So let's start with the number 10 in the world this time next year. I reckon it's gonna be Zhang. I reckon she's gonna get in the top 10 for the first time. During the 2024 season, I reckon that she will finish the year at number 10. She has a lot of points to gain in places like Wuhan and Indian Wells where she didn't play. Of course, Wuhan is coming back next year as a 1000 event. Doha has been upgraded to a 1000 event. She has no points there. Also, Beijing and Wimbledon, she has no points there to defend. So a big opportunity there, especially in China, to get some points at the end of the season and some big tournaments at the start of the year as well. Points to lose though. She has got a lot of points to lose in Jiangzhou where she actually won the tournament this year. In Zuhai, where she made the final. The US Open, she made the quarter finals. Has some points there. And also Palermo and Rome has a few points there as well. So she has a lot of points to defend at some tournaments at the end of the year, but also a lot to make up at those tournaments I mentioned before. Coming in at number nine in the rankings for this time next year, I reckon it's gonna be Kujikova. She's currently number 10 in the world. I reckon she will stay in the top 10. She also has no points to defend at places like Wuhan, which is, again, coming back this year as a 1000 event. Doha, an event that she lost in the first round this year, which is gonna be worth a 1000 points next year. Also, Cincinnati, the French Open and the US Open has no points to defend there. Didn't do well at the slams this year, Kujikova. So a lot of points to make up and get into the top 10 and stay in the top 10 for the rest of the season. She does have points to lose though in Dubai with 900 points there, where she won the title, of course, beating the top three in the world to do that. San Diego also won that event, so has to defend those points. Jiangzu, the Australian Open and Birmingham also worth a few points that she has to defend. But overall, like I said, some of those big tournaments, especially at the slams at the French Open and the US Open, where she's done well before. Of course, she won the French Open a couple of years ago. Big chance there to gain some much needed points and to stay in the top 10 for this time next year. All right, so the number eight player in the world this time next year, according to my predictions, I'm gonna go with Naomi Osaka. She's been saying a lot of positive things about her comeback in the 2024 season and I didn't know where to put her in the top 10. I think if she does well at the slams, she's gonna get in the top 10. So I'll put her at number eight. Of course, has no points to defend and is on zero points coming in. She's actually unranked coming into the next season. But the places that she can gain points, the places that she's won before, Australian Open, US Open, Indian Wells, Miami, Beijing, all tournaments that she can do well at next year. And of course, no points to lose because she's starting at zero. So I reckon Naomi Osaka, she's gonna get in the top 10. I reckon she was finished at number eight in the world. And that is one of my boldest predictions out of this top 10. Coming in at number seven, I've gone with Maria Sakari, who's been very consistent over the last few seasons and I reckon she's gonna stay in the top 10. She started to get into some form at the end of last season. So I reckon she might be able to maintain that. She's got no points to defend in Wuhan or Dubai, which are worth 1,000 points next year. And just like Krajikova has a lot of points at the slams that she can make up. French Open, Wimbledon, US Open, lost in the first round of all those events. So even if she makes it to the third, fourth round or even the quarterfinals of two of those events, that's a lot of points that she can gain to keep her ranking in the top 10 for another season. Points to lose, Guadalajara, of course, she won that event with 900 points that she'll have to defend next year. Indian Wells, Madrid, she made the semifinals. Of course, she did make the WTF finals. So she has those points to defend, and also Washington, where she made the final. But I think because of the slams, she has nothing to defend really at those grand slams. That's where she'll make up the points. And that's why I think she'll stay in the top 10 at number seven next year. Coming in at number six now, and I've gone with Coco Goff, which might surprise a few. I reckon she might have a bit of a slide. And I know I did say that this time last year where she finished number three, and I thought she'd finished number seven or eight, and she did finish number three again. But I think next year it's gonna be really tough. But points to gain, she does have points to gain at places like Wuhan, Wimbledon, Rome, Miami, and Madrid, where it's not making up much of her points. But it's when we get to that US Open series where she did so well, so many of her points are based on that series. In fact, over 50% of the points are actually from that US Open series with the US Open Cincinnati, Washington, where she won all those titles. Of course, she made the semifinals of the WTF finals as well. She'll have to defend that. And also made the quarterfinal of the French Open. So I reckon Goff might struggle to defend those points during that US Open series, and that's where her ranking will drop, and she'll drop down the rankings a little bit. Still stay on the top 10, but at number six this time next year. Coming in at number five next year, according to my predictions, is Jessica Bogula. Super consistent. She's currently number five. I reckon she'll maintain her ranking. She might even make it to a semifinal or a final of a slam next year, but that's where I'm gonna put her. She has points to gain in Wuhan, Rome, Cincinnati, Indian Wells, and the French Open. You can see there, she does have a lot of points to defend, but her points are evenly spread. So if she does lose an event at one place, she might be able to make it up in another. So that's where I put her right in the middle of the top 10 because she is so consistent. Her most points to lose, of course, the WDF finals where she made the final last year, Canada, the Australian Open, Wimbledon, and Miami, of course being the Canadian champion, but her points are so evenly spread. If she does have a really good run at a slam, or if she does have a good run at a 1,000 event, she doesn't necessarily have to defend so many more points. She just has to make sure that she can offset that. So I think she's going to stay at number five and maintain her ranking. She'll probably go up and down in the rankings throughout the season, maybe even into the top three again and then drop down, but I reckon she'll stay at number five this time next year. Coming in at number four now, and I've got Irina Sabalenka, a little bit of a drop from her number one slash two position because of course she was number one till the end of the season and then lost that number one spot. She has points to gain in Wuhan, Doha, of course. Doha has been upgraded to a permanent 1,000 now. So she's got no points to defend there, could really do really well there. Also Rome, Canada, and Dubai. There's a lot of points to make up in those 1,000 events, but the Australian Open, the US Open, Wimbledon, French Open, and Madrid, so many points to save in those grand slams. So if she does have a shock loss early in a slam, it's going to cost her a lot of points and the 1,000 events are nice, but they're not worth as many points as a slam. So especially the Australian Open coming in as the defending champion, I reckon she might drop down the rankings and lose those points early. She might make a good comeback at the end of the year, but I reckon it's going to be really hard early to defend those points, especially at the Australian Open where she is defending a grand slam for the first time. Coming in at number three now, and I've gone with Honchebeur. Now, she did drop down the rankings this year, was a little bit injured. She was number two, I think, at the end of 2022. So 12 months ago, she couldn't predict the injuries, of course, but has a lot of points to gain at some key events, including Wuhan, Madrid, where she won the title two years ago, Dubai, Doha, the Middle Eastern Swing, which she was really disappointed to miss this year and could do really well next year, and also in Canada, but of course the big points that she has to lose Wimbledon final, she's going to have to do well at Wimbledon again to kind of keep that ranking and also get those points. WTA Finals, Charleston, French Open, and also Ningbo, where she won the title, but I just think she's got so much upside in those 1,000 events, especially to start the year next year. So the Wimbledon points, if she can do well at Wimbledon, maybe she can save those points, but there's so many other points around that she can make up if she doesn't do so well at Wimbledon next year. And I reckon she's going to go to number three. She's got a massive upside. Coming in at number two in the rankings for this time next year, I reckon it's going to be Rebecca now. If she can stay healthy. So maybe a little asterisk. If she can stay healthy, I think she can go to number two in the world and maintain that because she's been so good and she's been able to beat everybody in that top 10. That's the big key. Has no points in Doha or Wuhan next year, so that she's playing for free there. Also Madrid lost in the first round and the US Open and the French Open didn't particularly play too well, cause pulled out of the French Open as well after winning Rome the two weeks earlier. So really has a good chance, especially at the US Open at the end of the year and the French Open to make up some points. She does have a lot of points to defend though on some of the key events, including the Australian Open at the start of the year, made the final there. Indian Wells, Miami has a lot of points to defend there, Rome as well. And also the WTAF final, she has a few points there. But I reckon if Rabakina does well at the Slams next year, and if she can stay healthy, she could have a year like what Sabalenka had this year, making it to the semifinals of this every single slam or better. She could really do that. She is that kind of player. So I've got Rabakina at number two for this time next year. And coming in at number one, I've got to go wish Fiontech again. She played so well at the end of the year and she started getting some real good form post-US Open. When she lost that number one ranking, it really lit a fire under her. And of course the WTAF final, she didn't lose a set or too many games even. She also did win Beijing, but she has so many upside as well with Wuhan and Miami, of course didn't play Miami, and she was the defending champion last season. So big upside there. Also Rome where she's won that title a few times. And she also lost midway through the tournament to the US Open and Australian Open. So those two tournaments, she obviously won the US Open. She's made the semifinals of Australia. If she can make it to the semifinals of those events alone, that should be able to help her maintain her ranking. Of course has the French Open, WTAF finals, Beijing, Madrid and Dubai points there to defend. But I reckon the key is going to be that US Open and that Australian Open. Because we all know what she can do on the clay courts, but those two events, I reckon she'll be able to make a better run at it next year. And that's why I think she's going to be number one in the season this time next year. But let me know down in the comments below. What are your top 10 predictions for next year? You noticed there that I did drop out a couple of players. I think Von Druseva isn't going to be in the top 10 next year. I think she might drop out this time next year. Because Wimbledon is the only tournament she won in 2023. And I reckon she's going to lose those points. Also Mukova, I would have kept her in there, but I'm just a little worried that her body might break down as it has over the last couple of months of the season. So I took her out of that as well and put in a couple of different players. But let me know down in the comments below. What are your predictions for the 2024 WTAF top 10? This time next year we'll find out and see how many we get right and wrong.
