Okay, looking good, feeling good, Lewis, from the offices of Duke & Duke, 100 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We're going to start out with the chart we looked at yesterday from Stansbury's research showing the major ABCD cycle from 1987, August 19th. That was a slow right back here on the bottom. There's the ABCD to the upside. You can see the time sequence is within a few months. And when you stop and think that this is over 40 years, that's pretty much spot on. So this last little ABCD here, of course, was the crash of 2009. I bring this to your attention for one reason, and there is a possibility. And I don't know if it's right or not, but we got a really cool chart from somebody that forwarded us on it, shows us, let's get this up here, take a look at it. The guy's name that sent it to me was named Bannock. A Bannock or something like that. I forgot to write it down. Hold on to your second. I want to get up here. I haven't checked it, but it looks like it's correct, just from what's happening. This shows the January's, folks, from back when I was trading starting there in 1976. We didn't have, I was trading at Drexel, that's where I started in August of 1976. This is the worst January, folks, in all these 40 years. Look at this, compared to all the other January's, look where it is. Man, if this is indication of what things are to come, just be really careful, boys and girls, okay? We're having a good rally today. I thought we're going to be bottoming tomorrow or today. And I would, I said we'll probably have a pretty good rally off of this, because it's very oversold, but we're having a rally in a bear market, folks. So that's all I can tell you. All right, first question. Oh, by the way, I wanted to thank a couple of our listeners that sent me really nice emails. W.R. there in New York City, the Upper East Side. Wanda, thank you so much for that lovely email that just made my day. And Jackie L. Jack, thanks for sending me your email, too. These folks have been doing pretty good, and it really makes me feel really happy when I get stuff like this. Now, I want to talk to you just a tiny bit about something that is really near to my heart, and that is natural gas, okay? Now, here is the chart that we were looking at this morning. Let's just get this up here. And I was involved with this, and that's why I've doubled my dosage of digitalis to get my heart started again. This was the 382 retracement right here, as you can see, bada bing, bada boom. These moves, folks, that's a lot of money. I mean, between this spot and this spot is pretty good, okay? The difference is, I was buying down here, and I was buying down here looking for this rally to possibly get up here. A, I missed my buy right here, okay? I see the market go way up. Now, look what happened next. If you think these markets are normal, you better rethink the old, well, natural gas isn't normal, but by golly, some of these others really are. So, let me get the second one on natural gas. Just to show you what it did over the preceding few hours, okay? Where is it? I think this is it. Yep, hold on just a second. Get this up here. Okay, this is the one I want to show you now, all right? Now, this is just a three-minute chart because you will not believe these swings. I didn't believe it when I was seeing it. And I, you know, frankly, it got so wild, what I did was I just stood aside. I was trying to buy down in this area, and I missed it. Look what happened. We went all the way up here, folks. You're talking a move, you're talking, there's three moves here, folks, up, down, and down. That's at this distance right here, from this distance right there, was $15,000 in 10 minutes. Now, if you want to trade a market like that, more power to you because what I'm going to do on our special trading day on September 20th, I'm going to show you how to pick that high and pick that low, and pick that high, and pick that low, and pick this high. I'm going to show you how to do every single one of those. And if you believe that, you will also get two shares of the Brooklyn Bridge. Nobody can do anything like that, folks. That's a wildest action. The only thing I can figure is that there had to be two commercials fighting it out. I haven't seen this big a move in anything for a very long period of time. I mean, very, very, very, very long, like maybe never. That's almost $15,000 in 10 minutes, folks. Then it goes up to the 61% retracement, and then it's quiet. And then, of course, it starts to sell off just like the other things we're doing. Okay, another one. People have asked me, how do I do what I'm doing on some of these trades, and I'm trying to explain to you what I do because I prepare myself for them, but sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. It's all related to probability. Now, if you remember yesterday, we were watching the Euro because of the relationship that we had with the US dollar. I'm going to go through that right now, and then I'll cover the crude oil after this and get up here to show you. But here was the Euros, what we were looking at yesterday. Remember, we had this three-drive to a top pattern. Then we came down, and this is where we had that topping pattern in the dollar index. I'm going to go through that again. So we were down here at major support here. And so what I would be assuming is we're probably going to get a pretty good rally off of that just based on what that dollar index chart is. So what we're going to do now is we're going to see what the Euro did, and you'll be able to understand what we're doing here right now because the Euro had one really nice move today. And I'll get this up here, and I'll show you how we're watching it. And there's where we are. And you can see the Euro got all the way up to this level up here, folks. This is where we're reaching up into this area right here. This tells us that that US dollar index is probably making some type of a pretty good top. And that's why boys and girls were probably seeing this really nice move in gold. Remember, I was bullish gold yesterday, had my stop a little bit too close, but thanks to Mr. Fibonacci. Let's get him up here to take a look at it this morning. What I was watching was, okay, if that's bottoms in, all I have to do is do what I usually do, wait for the retracement. And there was your 61% retracement right in here. And now we're making the ABCD level up here at 1726.  We had a lot of reasons thinking this was going to be a serious bottom, you know, because we were down so far. But now we've having this rally to the upside, and that should keep it, you know, for a period of time. Anyway, now when we come back, I'm going to walk through the sequences of crude oil. Someone's asked me to talk about crude oil, because we were saying that if the crude oil did not hold the bottom last night at 8600, it was in big, big trouble. We said that in the video. And I want to go through that to show you what happened, because it was really very interesting. And I think you'll enjoy it very, very much. Well, maybe you won't, but I enjoy it. So that makes it worthwhile, at least from my standpoint. Okay, let's get this, so we got a couple of bills to pay here. And we'll be, well, we've got 27 seconds. There we go. We'll be right back. Time of booming inflation. We are purchasing powers eroded. There's no better place to protect your hard-earned money getting gold. This is the gold's flagship asset is the Monk Todd Gold Project in the Northern Territory of Australia. This is Australia's largest unveloped gold project. We are talking a world-class gold project in a tail-one mining district. This is a large-scale, low-cost project with significant existing infrastructure in a politically safe and friendly mining jurisdiction. This, the gold just completed the Monk Todd Feasibility Study, which resulted in a 7 million-ounce gold reserve in a 16-year mine life. All of this combined with the approvals of all major operational, as well as environmental permits. This distinguishes Monk Todd as an attractive, dearest pot, ready-development state gold project.

Okay folks, I have a chart of the crude oil. Last night, remember I sent out, those of you that take the 24-7, I said watch how crude oil acts when it makes new lows. The low had been 85, 85. And as you can notice here, we were making, this was 15-minute chart, we had this beautiful ABCD pattern. There's A, B, C, D coming in right here. And as you can see, that's a three-drive pattern. The trouble is you see it misses it by about 20 points. By the time I got noticed that we were doing this, someone had, you know, dropped me a, a WhatsApp message to tell me, hey, crude oil may have turned. And then I looked at it and I put an order in to buy it at the 382. And I was about two and a half minutes late on that one. And then it took off and went all the way up here. So I just, I said, oh, forget it, I'm not going to mess with it. And I didn't look at it. And of course, folks, we came down here like a rocket went through here, like it didn't even exist. Because once that low was broken at 85, that tells us that the price objective on crude oil is most probably close to $78 to $75 a barrel. Now stop and think, that takes out the January lows of seven months ago. And that's during the time when there was a war and oil always goes up during a war, right? Well, it went up on a war in March at 130. And now it's almost one half of that price. So you got to be really careful, folks, you know, just when you listen to the news, you know, remember, watch what the prices are doing. That's what's going to get you to the promised land. I can say no more or no less about that. Okay, now I want that that was the crude oil that I wanted to walk through with you on that because once it started to break, it broke really badly. And I just said, whoop, stand aside, I probably should have sold it on the 382 on the way down, but we really didn't get anything like that at all. Okay, now here's another one. I this was a beautiful trade. I just have to show you this one today, because remember, let's do the, well, I'll do this one first. And then I'll do the second one, because they both, they both had the same pattern. And I wanted to get it up here. This is one of our favorites. This is wheat. Now we see wheat is trading here at around 852. You remember the high just a few months ago when there was no wheat in the world at 12 or 1370 a bushel? And then it went down to $7 a bushel. Now it's eight, eight and change. So there again, there was the news right out the window, but you can see the beautiful ABCD pattern right there. And so being it finishing at point D, you can see it's very quiet here, 852. I sell it at 852. It's about 20 minutes before the market closes. And of course, I'll show you what happened next after that, because it relates to one other trade that we were doing. And I wanted to bring that one up to you too. Now here's wheat afterwards. And this is why you've got to remember that it's not how much money you make. It's how much money you don't lose. And that's the key to this whole darn mess. And as you can see here with this, we opened right here. You see that at 52, we backed off to 845. And then we went to 874. We went way up here. Now I'm only risking four cents on that trade. And so I ended up getting out of it. But those of you that were listening to us yesterday, I was saying to you be really important to pay very, very close attention to one of the big things out there in the world. And that is nothing but that beautiful yellow corn. And here we're going to post it up here and show you because this one worked extremely well. Let's get this up here. It's going to be fun doing this thing on the 20th together, because that five hours goes faster than anything that you can do. Look at that beautiful ABCD. Same thing that we had in the wheat. It ends at 88, 688. That was high. Now wheat went through the ABCD by 30 cents. Corn did not. Corn came all the way back down. And I think it was down 16 cents at one time. Well, I know it's down 16 cents at one time because that was the first profit objective. So that's what we're watching. Now a sequel to the wheat is when I have something like the wheat that did what it did going straight up, I try to find out why. And so all I do is I know from the floor traders handbook that wheat has a tendency to top right after the open within 15 or 20 minutes. And that's the statistics behind it. And if we take a look at this chart, you're going to see what happened because all I did was I take the AI over it, which basically is a way of looking at two minute charts and the cycles that are in there. And look at this. You have a beautiful three drive to a top pattern up here at 874. And what I did was I waited for this little 382 retracement right here. And I sold it there and got all my money back plus about 14 cents. So I was a happy camper. Not done. I've always worked that way. But that's what I was doing when I was watching it. These markets, they have a cadence to them that is just absolutely unbelievable. Oh, I missed one here on the natural gas. I have to show you this because this is the one I was trying to find before because let's get back to the natural gas. But because you got to see the volatility here, folks, this is just absolutely totally what we think is mind boggling. I mean, you're looking at market goes from 83 down to 76. That's $6,000. Then it goes up $7,000. That's 13. Then it comes down $7,000. That's $20,000. And then up again to $4,000. It ran $24,000. This is a three-minute chart and it did it in 15 minutes. And if you have a moving average, it works with that one. Give me a call. I'd really like to hear that. That would really be one I'd like to listen to.  And we're going to take a look at the old footsie and we'll take a see what's going on with that. Folks, I don't know if you know it or not, but these markets are acting extremely bearish. So be really careful in here. You can see the footsie starting to roll down. I don't know if it has anything to do with the new prime minister that they have. It's been in a downtrend. You can see the really nice head and shoulders pattern that was here and then the move down the nice garterly and then down some more. So those are just some of the things that we're looking at. Since we're over there, we'll take a look at the German DAX. Hold on one second here. We have Paula Webb coming up pretty soon. And when she is done giving us her little presentation, I have some more charts to talk to you about along with some trading ideas that we're going to be talking about on the special day of the 20th. You can see here, we have this big move down that this is even more bearish, folks. And it's dropping and dropping and dropping. We have this big cycle due tomorrow. Today, tomorrow, Friday, hopefully, tomorrow will be Peter Elyde's. I talked to Peter yesterday. He's been swamped, but he's going to try to be in tomorrow. And Friday, we've got Dr. David Paul will be our guest. And I always enjoy him because we do seminars with he and I and Tom Hougard. And he's very, very good with the psychology.  So pretty soon, we will have Paula Douglas coming up here as our guest and she'll be talking to us about that. I hope we covered the things that we needed to cover, but just be really careful out there, folks. It's a jungle out there and it's not always a good jungle. So be really, really super, super careful.<PHONE_NUMBER>. Billy Ray Valentine, Capricorn. of Gold, Silver Bonds, DXAU, HUI, GDX, as well as more than 30 different mining equities.

The question that the person is asking is, we have heard that you are now a sheriff's chaplain for the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department. Is that true? With the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, yes. Oh, I was in the wrong county. Okay, Riverside County. And the question is, do you keep your Glock in an ankle holster? No, I got the belly built. Anyway, folks, actually Paula married Sarah and I, and she is a minister and gosh, you've been doing this for such a long time. I remember, oh, I should tell these stories, because I think they'd like to know when you lived in Scottsdale, you did a lot of weddings and some funerals and stuff. And, you know, when you first started doing this, I said, gee, I don't know if she really wants to do this or not. But after about two weeks, I realized how busy you were, you know, doing it and how many people you counseled over those years. I mean, Mark told me some stories that just, if I had any hair left, I'd say it would have curled my hair, but you do a great job. And including me, I happen to be one of the patients. Question two, what the question, this is a legitimate one. How do you, how does a person that keeps doing the same thing every day, doing the same thing, just keep doing it and doing it and doing it. Even though they know they're wrong and they're doing something wrong, why do they keep doing it Paula? Because that's their comfort zone. Oh, that makes sense. Yeah. I mean, it's just repetition. And, and there's, they have a belief that maybe today I'll have a different outcome. Wow. And the reason that I say that is because a lot of traders call me up and they say, and I'm quoting, I've been quote at this for years and I still can't raise my equity. And I said, what do you mean you're at it? You're at a football game, you know, you're at the grocery store, you're not at trading, you know, you're either in it or you're not. So, so that's kind of where that comes from when, when they have a repetitive action, they do have a belief that, okay, if I keep doing this, it's eventually going to shake out better. Do you have ways of breaking this sequence? Sure. Give me a call. I've already, I've already done that. I'm thinking of other people too, because you helped me do it for me anyway. Yeah, no, I'm not talking about you. I mean, if a trader is seeing that they're repeating a behavior, then it's real simple, get a pad of paper and write down before you start trading every morning, why am I repeating this behavior that I know is not bringing me the kind of results I want? Why, why, why? And you will hear the answer in your brain.   And then you can say, okay, well, that's, that's ridiculous. I don't have, I don't have to believe that anymore about myself. That's how it gets started. That's what you have to do. You have to have someone to push you through the door too. And that's what you do. What else are you looking at for today, Paula, that you might have for the folks? Well, just, you know, just keep in mind that, as I said, I think a couple of sessions ago, you know, we're living in some interesting times, like the old Chinese curse says. And, and so a lot of hesitation traders might be feeling right now is because there is an underlying current of uncertainty. And so you just have to kind of understand that and that it's not necessarily you personally that's hesitating, but it's just the energy of everything that's going on in, in the markets and world events. So again, get your pad of paper out and say, am I hesitating because I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow in the world or am I hesitating because I'm not sure about my trades? So you have to kind of define that because that's kind of that's that's the world we're in right now. There's a lot of stuff going on and it's crazy. And so we have to stay focused and know if if we're hesitating because of world events or just ourselves. Yeah, well, that certainly makes makes really, really good sense. Tell the folks how they can reach you if they have something they would like to discuss because you do you do do some analyzing for them free of charge, don't you, before they move forward? Absolutely. There's a free chat. It's open to everyone, any level of traders novice all the way up to experts. I'm here to chat and just see, you know, what's going on with you and lots of times that's all they need is just to make sure they're on the right track. That's that's part of what I do too. So you can reach me at MarkDouglas.com or PaulatTWeb.com, same website. It goes to the same place. My phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. And give me a call. Let's have a chat. And I believe if I'm not mistaken, a week from today is a very special astrological day, isn't it? Monday, actually. Monday is your birthday? Yeah. Monday. Oh, darn, I thought it was the 14th. I know, I know, I know. Yeah, I'm going to be 49. I knew that, you know, again, again. Yeah, tell me about it.  I'm still a novice, but everybody else. But, you know, Mark and you and you were involved with this too, because you had so many of these people that actually were living going in and out of your condo there in Chicago. What they, these guys were super millionaires and some, you know, they went through some things that, you know, people wouldn't believe the drawdowns that they had and the marital problems that they had. And yet they made it through. But they had to go through periods where they had to, you know, go through really bad periods in order to get to the good periods, didn't they? Yes, that's just all part of the learning curve. And for some, it takes a little longer for others than, you know, whatever. But, you know, the average was, you know, two to four, maybe five years on the outset, if somebody's really stubborn, to be, to maintain consistency. So guys, if you're in it for a year, you know, or two years, you know, don't give up. I mean, you know, you're, it just takes a little bit of time and effort. Yeah, not giving up. You know, that's the main thing. Never, never, never give up the old speech by Winston Churchill is always one of my favorites. Well, listen, folks, I hope you pay attention to Paula and give her a jingle there to her website. And we'll have you on again in a few weeks. Okay. Sounds good. Stay cool. Okay. Especially where you are, right? What is it about 110 today? Like 120, but 55% humidity. And a very dry heat. Correct. That's why I bought the cabin up north. Yeah. Okay. Thanks for joining us, sweetie. We'll have you on again soon. Okay. Okay. Anytime. Okay. You bet. Okay. You bet. Paula T. Douglas, folks, if you're having trouble, give her a call. She's really good. She's certainly helped me and, and a whole lot of other people. So, and she, you know, the, what, what she charges is a minuscule compared to what sometimes you can lose in the market. So remind ourselves of that. Okay. Let's move on here to a couple of things. Someone just jangled me to tell me that the market's making new highs. Not anything wrong with that, but by golly, I would have preferred it making a new low would have fit in better with what I was thinking, but, you know, it doesn't always do what I think it's going to do, which we already know that. So keep in mind, if you have any questions, it's<PHONE_NUMBER>. And I have a couple of questions that were emailed to me that I'll cover when we get back. And that's my main question is how do I handle losing? And you know what, I'll tell you very simply when we get back, that's the easiest thing for me to do because I do it so often.

John, how are you doing? Larry, I'm doing very well and I always enjoy hearing about the station between you and Paula. She's a terrific lady. Man, that's the understatement of the year. She sure is. She's she and Paul were connected at the hip for 30-some years, I'll tell you. They really great people. By the way, go right ahead, my friend. You have a question about the gold market? I do, Larry. Over the years, you've taught me extremely well where as you well know, I do the work myself and take responsibility for all decisions and choices I personally make. That said, on yesterday's show, you articulated a change in your thinking, a change being instead of shorting COMEX gold, seeking to profit, you actually flipped and were trying on the buy side. Could you just go through for me and all your listeners what changed as you look through the charts leading you to that personal conclusion, please? That's my question, please. Sure. I'll try, John. I posted a chart, it was a four-hour chart of gold going back over the last five weeks. And as you know, we were shorting this all the way down. And you can see the APCD patterns in somewhere below 1700, which was the 382 of the big low that went way back to 1676. That was where the 382 came in. And we also had a, you can see the double ABCD patterns that ran here. Well, I got in a little too early loss, but then today, I was waiting for a little retracement. I got lucky on that one. But that's what I was looking at, John. And the fact that it's taken that long to go from where we were, $130 an ounce lower, took a full month to do that with two double ABCD patterns in there, I have to assume that we're going to get a pretty good rally. Now, we're getting a good rally today, but it's not nearly enough to get anybody excited. We got to get it above 1750, 1760, then it's going to be moving pretty good. What surprised me is how quickly silver has bounced back almost a dollar an ounce. So there's some people have an interest in this. And we were close in there with that number, but that's mainly why it changed is because of that. And the open interest has been favorable because open interest in silver and gold has been dropping. That's a sign that the market is strengthening. And maybe that's what we're seeing here today. Yeah, very good. Larry, I appreciate that. And I'm going to give you two data points to complement what you just said on silver. First points, silver late last week dipped under the July low, I think that July low and the current contract was, excuse me, 1801. So the current lead contract, the D's contract slipped last week down to 1740, but quickly snapped back above that prior low 1801. I was taught extensively and very well by Jim Flanagan out there in Los Angeles area. And in looking at deeply oversold markets, he found something that worked for him that I've adopted over the years. And that is that move below a prior low, flush out the stops sitting below the weekends, if you will, and then a snap back above forming what Jim called a bear trap to a bottom pattern. That's what I think we are seeing here in that deep silver. That's number one. Number two, Larry, I'll tell you that I analyze the commitment of traders data coming out of the CFTC. That comes out every Friday at three o'clock from time to time. And it's infrequent that you get interesting signals out of that data. However, what I can share with you is, for example, in silver over the past three years, when we got up to that 27, then up to the $30 area, the speculators had loaded the boat full wall. The commercials had taken the other side of that. They are typically right in the case of silver up at 27 and up at 30. The commercial shorting of the Jesus out of silver up there were in fact correct. Interestingly enough, however, down as we got down to 18 and just under these past couple of weeks, the speculators actually have flipped to the short side, which is incredibly rare to be net shorts, meaning the commercials have taken the other side in our net long. That's a very rare setup. And I've been analyzing silver for 30 years, trading it actively for maybe eight or nine. And I've never seen a situation where the price of silver stayed down when the commercials had gone in that long. And that happens incredibly infrequently. So that's, for me, just a huge bicycle on that silver. And I guess the same would translate into gold. Wow. I agree with you there. And it looks like you could have legs, John. I mean, this is one that could really just explode. If these buyers are there like we think they are, this could really be a monster move in the gold market. So keep our fingers crossed. And just another thing I've learned from you extensively is find your entry points and be particular about how much you're willing to risk. You know, the winners will take care of themselves. And that's kind of my attitude here. But just to supplement what you just said there, things could really run merely by the speculator group coming back to the long side, which they've abandoned here in the past couple of weeks. So, you know, what I've come to see in past decades is when speculative traders get wrong footed and get way on the wrong side of an extended market, either the low or the high side, market moves of 10 to 20 percent are common and oftentimes likely in a very brief period of time, just by those speculators reversing those lopsided positions. So if we do get a 10 to 20 percent rally in gold, I'll just attribute it to that reversal, the speculative crowd for dead, other fundamentals out there. So food for thought, we'll take it one step at a time. And I appreciate you sharing your logic behind your change in positioning on that gold market. There was one other thing, John, and that was the possibility of that top that we saw, the triple top, you know, the three drive to a top pattern in the dollar index up there at that 11050 in change. It went to 11070, slightly higher high, then reverse. And of course, the euro has got above par here just a few minutes ago.  So that tells you, yes, there's people are buying, you know, the euro against the dollar. And this may or may not be a short term move, but it's going to be interesting for sure. Thanks for calling in, John. We appreciate it. Thanks, Larry. You bet. John Cherveny, please. He is one of the best.<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Okay, we're back folks and during the breakout check to see we're making new highs in the S&P to Dow Jones and the Russell and Nasdaq. We've been down for quite a while folks but we're due for this rally and I thought it was going to be a bottom here coming in with mercury retrograde in the full moon but it may be a top so just be careful. The market isn't bad straights folks even though we're really strong today. Long term, it doesn't look very good. I can vouch for you. Today it's up, tomorrow it could be down but longer term this pattern that we're looking at is extremely bearish. I was assuming we're going to get a pretty good rally here today and yesterday I said we're probably bottoming in. I do either be yesterday or today and you know whether it's going to keep going or not you know I don't know but we're up I just heard over 300 points in the Dow Jones. The crude oil is collapsing as we speak. It's really close to breaking below $82 a barrel. Remember the ABCD on this crude oil measures to $78 to $76 a barrel just about one half of what it was back in January. So let's remind ourselves that what goes up must come down and what goes down also can go up. So remind ourselves we're also having almost a really strong rally in treasury bonds. I mentioned in the video last night that at 132 it was having a hard time going through that. It looked like it had a chance to have a pretty good rally just a short covering rally in bonds of what this is but we went from 132.02 up to 133.20 something I believe already today of course with being helped by the movement in stocks and stuff but at least some of the bearishness has you know taken its toll on the bonds and we're getting a pretty good you know short covering rally in that. The gold made our target up here at 1730 on that ABCD we were looking at early this morning so remind ourselves of that tomorrow I guess we'll be Peter Elides. He will start out the show in the morning and we'll be able to ask him questions and stuff. One of the questions of course will be about Lucas numbers that we had with Stan Harley so we're going to keep that keep watching that also. So those are a few things that we're paying attention to today so live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may God bless and we'll see you on the flip side tomorrow.


Live from Cambridge, Massachusetts, it's theCUBE at the MIT Chief Data Officer and Information Quality Symposium with hosts Dave Vellante and Jeff Kelly. Hi everybody, we're back, this is Dave Vellante with Jeff Kelly and this is theCUBE, we're live at the MIT Information Quality Symposium. theCUBE is Silicon Angles flagship program, we go out to the events, we extract the signal from the noise. It's day two for us at MIT IQ, it's a Chief Data Officer Symposium, a lot of CDOs here, I think it's the leading forum, leading thinkers on the whole Chief Data Officer, emerging role are really here at MIT. Courtney Abercrombie is here, she's with IBM, she's in the emerging roles and she's a market leader for the big data and analytics piece of the business. Courtney, welcome to theCUBE, thanks for coming on. Thanks, I'm thrilled to be here. So you gave a talk yesterday evening. Yes. Talking to CDOs, which is your wheelhouse. That is my wheelhouse, yeah. Give you hints and tips on how to sort of interact with the C-suite, so give us the sort of bumper sticker, what were you talking about? Well, and you know what's funny is we actually managed to keep everybody past happy hour, so you know it was a good discussion, if you can do that, because the drinks were already flowing and everybody knew that, so that was a personal point of pride for me. Well done. Yeah, no, basically we were talking about how you build success and traction with your CEO and your C-suite, because essentially if you don't get your CEO on board or if they don't already have a predetermined disposition towards data as a way to make decisions and build business value, you're really going to fail as a chief data officer, I hate to say it. I don't care how scrappy and change agent you are, you're now going to get anywhere if your CEO is not on board with you. So I really, I take to heart all of the issues that I try to bring and topics that I try to bring to the chief data officers. I look for their best practices and their shared successes. I talk with them daily, every single day I try to talk to a chief data officer to understand what they've done that was really right, and then I bring it back together into these kind of keynotes. So I know that's why they like to come and hear about it, but at the end of the day you really have to seek out the champion in the organization, even if you're able to get a mandate from your CEO, which is, that's like a unicorn quite frankly, because you rarely get a mandate, a hard and fast mandate. It's more like a, what did I show you yesterday from the Center for Applied Insights? It's more of a quote like, here's the blank paper, you show me the data strategy that's going to help us drive competitive advantage, because executives know that they need to do this. They stay up at night thinking about the fact that their other competitors are going to outdo them in some way, shape, or form with all this new technology where you can do everything, internet of things, connected devices, machine to machine learning. They know there's all this advantage to be had, but CEOs just don't really, they don't speak data. They don't know how to even articulate what they want. They just know they want a competitive advantage out of it. And so I like to speak to Chief Data Officers about what it is that CEOs generally have in mind when they're talking about how to drive business value from data, even though they may not know themselves. So I use the C-suite studies from our Institute for Business Value where we've interviewed like, do you guys know about the C-suite studies? Sure, absolutely. See it every year. Yeah, it's like 4,000. Audience may not. 4,000 different CEOs, CMOs, CFOs, CIOs, you name it. Any C-suite executive, we interview them. And we try to do that on an 18 month cycle, so we're up to date with the most current issues. And so essentially I gathered all of these insights that were relevant to the Chief Data Officer and including the Chief Data Officer's own success stories and put them all into this presentation. And basically it revolves around, or revolves around, excuse me, building small successes, finding the one stakeholder in the company that you're going to start with and build your advocacy, having that member of the C-suite table champion you to the other C-suite members, this is the formula for success that I have seen. The ones who don't do well, the Chief Data Officers who find themselves incredibly frustrated. And let's just face it, you heard Eugene earlier. He was talking about this trial and error approach, right? I mean that's really how it is and so if I can help eliminate some of this pain by sharing back some of these stories about don't try to bite the whole elephant at once, take little nibbles until it finally comes down, I mean that really is the story here because so many of the Chief Data Officers get in their position, they're gung-ho and they try to tackle the whole entire regulatory mandate at once or they're trying to tackle the whole organization's needs at once instead of prioritizing so that they can actually achieve success with one stakeholder who's going to help them build advocacy. So I think actually Eugene is actually one of the best, I see him sitting over here is why I'm pointing for you in the crowd at actually being an internal consultant and having this really official approach to how he talks to his internal clients and educates them. I started to do that yesterday.  We love guests like this. Push the button and we sit back. No, please stop. Well we had Eugene on yesterday and absolutely he talked about the importance of storytelling and being able to communicate. Now we've covered kind of, we've talked a lot of Dave over the last couple years about what does a data scientist need and one of those things is being able to communicate but that also applies to the Chief Data Officer for sure. So what are you seeing in terms of best practices or advice you have for CBOs in terms of that communication part? Because clearly finding a champion and building those relationships requires you to tell a story as Eugene would put it. Yes, it does. Yes, actually I mean I think there's two that come to mind. Derek Strauss, I always quote him because he's just, well today I found out from West Hunt who is the nationwide Chief Data Officer that in fact Derek Strauss is the father of Chief Data Officer supporting to him. So it's good that I quote Derek so much. I feel validated too and you guys should feel validated. Yeah, he was on the Cube last year, one of our first CBOs on. Exactly, so he's a thought leader for the Chief Data Officers. He's very good, he's very sharp. But he has an approach where he uses rallying cries. So basically his rallying cry that I just love and everybody writes it down and I give him full credit but I do put it in my keynotes because it's a best practice. His rallying cry around the customer experience and how he's helping to develop that is Google Fast, Apple Easy, Amazon Intimate. Who doesn't want that kind of client experience? Everybody wants, that's like the best of all worlds, isn't it? So do you think you can be all three or do you have to pick one and optimize on one? What do you see from clients? Oh I think you can, I think you can. In this digital age I think you can absolutely be fast. I mean think about what these little phones can do. I mean so Apple Easy, Google Fast is right there when you need it. Right on your phone, Amazon Intimate is personalization. Everybody wants to know something that everybody only wants to see what they want to see.  I don't want junk email, I don't even want junk mail it to my door. That's kind of old fashioned. But if I'm walking by a Starbucks and I happen to get a coupon as I'm walking by, as long as I'm opted in and they have my permission, then I'm going to be excited to get that offer and that's very easy for me. So then right then I go redeem my free drink and famous plug for Starbucks. You can pay me later. But that's how things are and that is Google Fast, Apple Easy, Amazon Intimate. It's personalized, it's fast because it's right there on my phone and I can redeem it right away and it's easy. What are you seeing in terms of the CDO role? You mentioned regulatory mandates earlier. That's obviously a catalyst within the industries like healthcare or financial services, et cetera, government. What are you seeing in terms of the CDO role emerging outside of those regulated industries? Is it happening? How is it happening? How fast is it happening? That's true. Now, it really is the fact that we're seeing most of them are emerging from regulated industries like banking, government, insurance, healthcare. Healthcare is really trying to figure out. They're really struggling with the space right now, how to become data driven, especially because of some of the regulatory mandates that they've just recently been given. But outside of that, the media services firms, and I mean firms like Axiom, Xperion, AC Nielsen, some of our best clients, quite frankly, those guys all have had Chief Data Officers because they're very marketing driven. And so any firms that have been marketing driven have either a Chief Digital Officer. If they don't have a Chief Data Officer, it takes them a little bit longer because as a secondary function, they have to go in and then figure out how to put all the data together themselves. So they end up fulfilling that role. So we do see that role emerging more like a digital officer would be emerging more than a data officer in some industries like that or like retail. I mean that's an opportunity. It's an opportunity. As opposed to a risk mitigation. Oh yeah, yeah. It's a huge opportunity. So it's not a privacy driven type of thing. No. It's a let's go sell more stuff. And industrial. Industrial is probably one of the biggest areas where the Chief Data Officer is emerging because there's so much opportunity with the connected devices now. I mean you can put a chip. I mean think about this. One of my favorite stories, and I won't mention his name because I don't have permission, but it's from a person who was telling me that they'd like to go from being a light bulb manufacturer to becoming a data traffic solution provider. That's transformational for that company and that industry because they're a leader in that industry. So if they achieve this transformation, it will effectively change their whole industry because of their leadership status. And now instead of having just the one time hit that they get from selling a light bulb, they're going to have a traffic solution where the data is the most central part of the monetary stream from that. So talk about that a little bit more. That's a transformation of the industry. So talk about more about how data catalyzes or is fundamental to that transformation. Well basically because of all of these new streaming technologies and because of the technologies that we haven't had the ability to really analyze this much volume of data, and I hate to talk about it as big data, but it kind of is because there's a lot of volume coming in off of internet of things, off of connected devices. And that really is because of the technology to aggregate and analyze and just predict and respond immediately. Because of those technological capabilities, we're seeing whole new transformations of companies. Now you're not just a light bulb provider, you're a data solution traffic provider, or you're no longer just a mobile device manufacturer, you're a healthcare wearables group, where you can report back instantaneously about the pulse and different things on people's bodies because you've got connected devices and chips and streaming information coming in and out. I mean it's phenomenal, but you have to have the ability to analyze and collect all that data, and that's the part that's new. It's the technology and the capability that have been present in the market. Yeah I think you're kind of hitting on some of the things Dr. Watson talked about yesterday in his keynote about digitizing your assets, your capital assets, and whether that's physical assets or your social capital or symbolic capital, whatever the case might be. In this case talking about physical capital, and I'm not sure which company you're talking about, but we've been covering the so-called industrial internet companies like GE, which are really going from manufacturing industrial equipment, which they're going to continue to do, but their success is going to be much more predicated on how they manage and help their customers analyze all that data coming off those devices, rather than the device itself. And that's a big shift for a company like GE, which is a huge long history. It's really quite a shift, and they're very clearly heavily invested in that. So once a little bit about IBM and your role, so your role really is to advocate for the CDO, right? Before that role and to really see it established more widely. Talk a little bit about why that's important to IBM. IBM, as you know, our CEO, Jenny Rometti, has been talking about transforming industries. And if you think about the story I just told you about the lightbulb manufacturer, that's a pretty amazing story because the guy that's leading that is the Chief Data Officer. He's the one making the change. So he's actually, he is a transformed profession, if you will, because of the data and technology capabilities, but he's also leading the change, becoming the change agent that is actually going to change that entire industry because he's part of a leading organization in that industry. And he will set the bar for everybody else by setting this data vision of what they're going to accomplish. And really inspiring his entire company to get behind this new transformative way of doing business, to go from just having a single hit of money when a lightbulb gets sold to having a stream of money coming in from data solutions off of traffic. And who knows where he's going to take it from there. You can kind of already see an additional vision, not just related to traffic solutions, but who else might be interested in the automotive industry, might be interested in augmenting his data, Google Maps or somebody. Who knows? Who knows? The possibilities are endless, but he's there creating that vision for the company. And because he's creating the vision for the company, he's transforming the industry. And that makes him absolutely 100% interesting to us as IBM. Courtney, last question. We're out of time. We're going to go. Wow, we're already out of time. How does that happen? It flies by, right? The Cube, very comfortable, right? It is, absolutely. It's a bumper sticker question. The car's pulling away from the Tang Center. That is this little remote location in Cambridge. But the car's pulling away. Three, four hundred CDOs here in the audience and information quality executives. What's the bumper sticker say on the back of that car from your perspective as it's pulling away from this event? Okay, that's kind of a hard one. Oh, wow, because I would say for me, that bumper sticker was great ideas. Great ideas from CDOs who are scrappy little change agents, underdogs that I want to root for all the way. I want to say congratulations and let's keep up the conversations. Keep going. Courtney, thanks so much for coming to the Cube. It was great to have you. Thanks. All right, keep it right there. We'll be back with our next guest. Right after this is the Cube. We're live from MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Right back.


Even if it is headless, you need to have it and that would result into slow test execution. Having one UI test to ensure that the recipe has been successfully created is certainly the requirement but that is not a scalable approach to probably check your recipes listing page. And yeah, so via the UI, it took me approximately 20 seconds to create just one recipe and I'm just talking about the recipe content type here and not the associated fields in the recipe, like for example, taxonomy terms or tags, right? So those were already present in the system. Just creating a recipe took me 20 seconds. Okay, I'll hand over to Akanksha for next few slides. Thank you. All right, let's get our hands dirty. Let's create the data. So what do we need? First, we need test data and second, we need this data every time that we run the test. So we should be able to create this data while running the test. Thank you. Okay, so the first part, the first step would be creating the data. The second, we need a method to export this data so that it's available in the config or, you know, in the code and not in the database. Third is to create a test module for shipping this data with our tests. And finally, we need to run the test.  Let's see how we can do this in Drupal. So, all right, so first step, creating the data. Now, there are multiple ways to do this. What we'll be talking about today is devil and devil generate plus realistic dummy content and then the drush commands to do all of this. First, let's talk about devil and devil generate. So these are two modules which are very useful for developers. And the best part is that there's a UI for creating dummy content through devil and devil generate. So once you enable devil generate, you'll see a UI where you can create test content. I will show this to you right now. So you can create multiple content types, nodes, taxonomy, menus, users, anything. It's very configurable. So you have an option to delete content and you have great control over when the node publication date should be, how many nodes to be created, whether to delete nodes or not. So this is what the UI looks like. You can generate the type of content that you want. And we have, all right, so just a moment. Yeah. So we have all these options where you can select which content type to create, how many of these to create, and whether to delete all the preexisting content types or not. Anyone can run this. You do not need to know code to do this. But the content that is created with devil and devil generate, it uses default lorem ipsum text, which does not look great. And this is where realistic dummy content comes in. Realistic dummy content, super charges devil and devil generate to create actual content and it adds images from like open source images so that your content looks great. All right. So I have a video here. So even in HTML fields, basic formatting is added so that it looks actually like the content that someone would go in and create and not something that is created by bots. Hold on, hold on. So as you can see, there is some preexisting content in this video. And we'll go to the UI, which is inside configuration, devil generate.  I'll be creating nodes of the type. Article and recipes, 10 nodes. And we scroll down. So there are options. You can select what language you want it in, which user should be used to create this content. And there is an option to delete all the old content. Once we do this, this is extremely fast. So we already have all of these recipes and articles created. And everything that was there was, it has been deleted. And as you can see, the data is there in all of the fields. Now that we've finally created the content, it's time to export it. But first, let's also see how we can create this entire thing with Drush commands so that we can use it in tests. So there are Drush commands to generate all of this, Drush Gen C. And then you can generate whatever you want, either menus, taxonomy terms, users, work apps. Also the kill command is the UI option that you saw to delete all the old content. So if you put the kill option, then all the old content would be deleted.  So you can skip fields. You can add languages, feedback. So any of this can be used in your script to create test content. But each time new test content would be generated. So this is not helpful for visual regression. We want the same test content to be generated every time so that we have baseline images. And then we can compare with those images. And that's when exporting and shipping the data comes in. And for this, we are using default content module. There's another module called Default Content Deploy, which is also great. But I'll be talking about default content today. So default content is a module with which you can ship default content to your site. It resides. So any default content that you have, it goes in the content folder of your module. And the benefit is that you can export everything as YAML files, including files. So images also get exported as YAML files. And then we can import all of this to run our tests. As you can see, that is my module.info file. You have to define every UUID that has been created with this module in this file. The benefit of using this is that once you've created this, whatever content is created, when you disable the module, all of this content will automatically get deleted. There is a patch for this. It's not in the default module. All right. So we generate content with devil, devil generate, realistic dummy content, whatever you like. And then we export it with default content. So every time we enable this module, all of these notes, taxonomy terms, user, any entity would be created. And every time we disable it, it will get deleted. So now we can reliably run our tests with this content. This is the command to export the content. So once you've created it, you can export with the node ID and to whichever folder you want. And finally, running the tests. So this is a basic functional test that I've written. In the setup part, we're just installing the module. So as soon as you install the module, the entire content will get created. And when you disable the module, so I've also, there's a drush command to delete all the content that you've created, which is dcd, and the name of the module. So anything that is created in the test content module would get deleted. And anybody would get disabled. It's a simple test which gets the recipes page and verifies that the title of each node that we created exists on the view page. So once this runs, we go to the recipes page, and it loops through the node titles and makes sure that everything that we created is now there on the website. So this was way faster than creating every node manually and then verifying it. This can also be run in the CI. Like I've created a quick GitHub action to run it in CI. It does a basic install of the site with umami, enables the module, and then runs the test. So we will get real-time feedback on every PR, whether it is working correctly or not. And I will pass it on to Shweta now. Shweta, how many of you are aware of automated visual regression tests here? Oh, that's a decent number. So you might be aware that the primary challenge with these sort of tests is that the data keeps changing or the data is dynamic. And in order to implement it, you need to understand how can the data be static and consistent across your different environments. So that you can leverage the maximum out of it. Or else you would end up in just verifying the layouts and not the content. So what happens is when your data is consistent as Akanksha mentioned by just enabling your test module. So this is another quick video where we've enabled visual regression testing with Cypress. And here you see that both the English and Spanish language got validated in no time. So you see that you can immediately implement automated visual regression tests. And the bigger advantage is also certainly that your functional tests reduce drastically because you don't have to sit and assert all the titles for all the recipes. You don't have to verify their tags and all of it, right? With visual regression, it gets validated. The functionality gets validated as well apart from the UI. So let's talk about good practices with test data management. That's what TDM stands for. Yeah, so good test data should allow you to exercise and validate high-value user journeys. So that's a given when it comes to end-to-end for test automation. Ensure that the highly used user journeys are exercised in your automated suites. And you don't use dummy content as Akanksha mentioned that the realistic dummy content would help you to have content that is closer to how the real user would be using it or consuming it. So ensure that this is there in your practice. Validate edge cases. Obviously, don't forget the edge cases also have data planned so that your edge cases are exercised as well. With the help of test data, you should be able to reproduce defects as soon as they are caught in higher environments. You should be able to simulate errors also, errors that are probably caught in the production. So externalize test data using lightweight file formats like CSV or properties or YML. So we've been using YML here. The reason being if you use Excel, then reading from Excel is quite time-consuming. So ensure that you use lightweight file formats to store your data. Your data should always reside separately from your tests so that one is based on the test environment, your data might vary. You might have different data files in order to run your automated tests across different environments. And any changes to the data should not result any changes in the tests or in the automated test suite. So that's the reason why you need to externalize your test data. So generation and destruction of test data on demand for every test. Let's take a quick example of probably adding new address. So the feature varies slightly for an existing customer and a new customer. For a new customer, you would have just like at primary address probably. And that button wouldn't be visible for an existing customer. For an existing customer, it could be like add another address or add a secondary address. So you need to ensure that you are able to create that new customer on fly using your setup activity and ensure your test for the new customer address and then tear it down. So there shouldn't be any data dependency, any reliance on data for tests because another reason is that you should be in a position, you should be empowered to run your tests independently and in parallel. Also ensure that adequate test data is available to run the entire automated test suite before starting with automating the functionality or considering the use cases. Ensure that the data requirements are well thought of and the data is well captured and made ready and available provision for all the use cases and all the test scenarios for that particular function or feature. Yeah, your test data should not limit or constrain the automated test that the teams can run for sure. Consider all test environments. Usually we have the dev, test, QA or probably test or QA, UAT. So whenever you are structuring your data just ensure that you are taking care of the requirements. So data needs might vary. Some tests that can be run on probably tests or lower environment cannot be run on pre-prod for example. So ensure that your data requirements and you consider all test environments before structuring your data and structure the data uniformly so that your scripts are not affected. So for example usually you would store the URLs of different environments in different properties file, right? Okay, account for localization as well. So what I mean here is locale usually constitutes of language and country. So there would be some data that is common across the locals. So that should be written just once and data that is differing like the success and error messages based on different languages should be captured in a different file and data that is common should not be redundant. So you structure your files accordingly so that the data is not redundant for the common parts of your localization. Yeah, the most important the way your test automation suite consumes data or how the data is managed in your project might vary from in your organization might vary from project to project. So ensure that documentation is in place so that the entire team understands how the data needs to be created, modified, destroyed and how the test automation suite consumes it in first place. Talking about the anti-patterns. So yeah, so as I mentioned an excessive dependence on data define outside the scope of the test, right? So for tests that are dependent on data like the address test that I mentioned you need to ensure that the scope of the data is within the scope of the test. If you are going to rely on data that is outside the scope of your test then that would result into fragile tests. So for example let's say if you are executing the address functionality if you are restricted by executing tests in particular order then that would result in fragile tests. So for example you first create a new user and then add new address to it and only then you can check the add secondary address feature then that is not going to give you any sort of flexibility. And dependencies on external data sources. So as I mentioned if your data resides in Excel then that's going to bring in big performance issues with your execution and it's going to delay the feedback of your application. Yeah and copying production data people usually feel that yes it does give you certain insights but then it might also contain confidential information and hence it's necessary that you mask all the sensitive data and not just blindly utilize the production copy the production database in your automated tests and using obsolete or irrelevant information any changes for instance to the fields of your content type that should be reflected in your data as well so that you are not using obsolete or irrelevant information in your tests even though your tests might not fail but you need to ensure that the data is also modified when the content gets modified or when the functionality is modified. So let's understand the key benefits contribution to test automation by the entire team certainly one of the major roadblocks why everyone in the team cannot contribute to test automation is people have this understanding of it to be highly technical which might not be true at all times test automation is certainly a whole team responsibility and the entire team can contribute to it in several ways I can do a literally different talk on that but Akanksha just explained that how we are generating data in a semi-technical fashion in a user friendly fashion and with this what happens is you actually empower your team to think and begin with test automation quite early in the cycle wherein the team can focus on the data requirements of the functionality and need not worry about having those scripts always scream green that's what people are really worried about when they begin with test automation that they want everything to appear green all they have to do is once the data has been taken care of go to respective URLs so I'm talking about the act column here either go to respective URLs and add a visual regression assertion there the recipe listing page really they need not worry about any functional assertions also in that place reduce test authoring time certainly let's say that you have 10 recipes added and when you go to the recipes listing page you'll have to sit and add an assertion for every title the tags, the media and everything and yet there is no guarantee that the UI is intact just because your functional assertion passed but with visual regression your test authoring time reduces drastically you just go to the respective URL and you assert that the page looks intact your functionality gets automatically validated with it no redundant steps as I mentioned you don't have to like even if you write a loop for your functional assertions yet there's quite redundancy when your tests keep on when you move on to newer tests next tests which are also related but there would be redundant steps minimal functional assertions needed I explained that cleaner and maintainable tests for sure because your tests are modular and plus minimal lines of code and so they are much more readable and cleaner ROI is exponentially higher and how we'll understand that data creation is a one-time investment really you wouldn't have to relook at it unless the feature has changed UI validation across several browsers and devices with this technique since you can implement automated visual regression testing you can validate the UI across different browsers and devices it doesn't have to be just one browser and we all know that when it comes to web apps in particular their releases are primarily delayed because the UI needs to be verified across multiple browsers and devices different viewports and that eats up a lot of teams time I don't think engineers should be involved in verifying that manually functionality gets validated too it's not just the UI and returns multiply when the number of languages to be addressed increase as well so with localization the returns are certainly higher if you add four more languages here you can just understand the kind of return you're going to get on a smaller investment so it took me what around approximately 20 seconds to create one recipe via the UI which means it would take me around 16 to 17 minutes to create 50 recipes via the UI whereas it took me just 20 seconds to create 10 recipes including all the metadata that was the taxonomy terms and every users everything so I could create 10 recipes with metadata in 20 seconds so these are some useful references that you can read about the test pyramid the triple A pattern and I have attached few public repositories GitHub repositories as well which is the end-to-end testing with Cypress and Drupal automated visual testing using Drupal and Apley tools so these are public repositories the Cypress Drupal repository and some ways to improve test data management if you already have automated test suites running in your organization yeah and after the conference we'd love to stay connected via Twitter and LinkedIn and of course you can follow us on GitHub as well time for Q&A yes, no it doesn't we've got about 5 minutes for Q&A does anybody in the room have a question? yes, hold on a second for our viewers online sorry I'm relatively new to this subject but I wanted to ask about the example that you talked about when there's either an existing customer that has to add an address or it's a new customer that doesn't have any addresses and you said you would separate that out I'm wondering if you could be a little more concrete about how you would write your tests or manage your data so that you would have to as you say not change your tests when the data changes yeah, so do you see that there is a method called setup there and that's where you take care of new customer creation right and so you're going to have a different test file for new customer so that really depends on how you are going to set up your test file whether the test file is going to consist of all tests for a new customer or is it an address related test file so the setup would differ accordingly but let's consider that we would have a test for a new customer in this particular test file so the setup would consist of creating a new customer on fly on demand and then you would have so you have this last method called recipe listing page right so instead of that we would have a method called test address for new customer or something right and that's where you would add the step for clicking on the button and the steps for adding the new address and asserting it and in the tear down part you just delete that customer right and so you can have more such tests written for new customers in the same test file where you can generate the new customer in microseconds okay any other questions in the room no yes coming hi I know you don't speak about unit test in your presentation but I'm starting in my project to want to implement unit test and I'm wondering if you have a concrete example of unit test in Drupal because it's like on the function level and there is services and function on services but I don't know any other application to that so do you have an example concrete one not in this slide but after our talk we can certainly look at the unit tests right on our machine this is not our machine actually that's my machine any other questions in the room no okay I'll just have a quick look and see if we've got any online questions just go and look at the Q&A tab if I can no we have no questions okay well in that case round of applause and thank you very much


What's up everybody? Jason here from jazbyskagebrakes.com, 2020 Panini Contenders Baseball four box break figure teams number five just sold out And again if you buy two or more teams you have a chance to win up to five hundred dollars in break credit So how to get entered into that break credit giveaway? So if you buy two teams you get one entry you buy four teams you get two entries you buy six teams You get three entries etc etc If you only buy one team you will not get entered into win and the top five names at the end of the Randomizer will win a hundred bucks each So we'll do that randomizer at the end of the break and we'll alphabetize it and see who's a part of that Break credit giveaway, and we will post up the next one as well after this and those will be the last four boxes of the case and Then Robert Orioles Cubs last bomb mojo and here's everybody else in the break He's all have the little PYT sign on them to let you know it's from the same case of the pick your teams Good luck.

All right, sweet. Let me quickly just grab a All right, there you go guys with a yard on as well you guys passing Trader Joe's Next one next one guys What is this a little retro to 99 Vladimir Guerrero?  Luis Robert Waggles pack For Toronto. Hold on one second. Yes. All right. Sorry about that guys. That was grub hub. All right next one Luxor may David be saying draft ticket Bellinger and Brandon Davis For Chicago Cubs Las Palmojo. They go Robert. Her burden Davis is a good prospect so far we haven't had any I Real Danny Mendic. Yeah, Mendic's autographs pretty sweet. What is this? Is it a case hit or something? Gold Rush Peter Lanza. I've never seen one of these contenders optic. It's pretty cool Who has the Mets Nick Sanders? I have no idea what this is Must be a case it Yeah, I was gonna say those must be pretty rare. I've never seen one Jake Fraley Yeah, they're both really good. Thank you. Yeah, that should be the commas everything else is autograph. Yeah Yeah, that's cool Rigo Garcia. I'm curious now to see what this is. We had so many different names Let's see who's the correct one. I'm thinking. This is Luis Robert All right. Wow Rookie diamond ticket diamond ticket meaning out of 23 cracked eyes is that what I'm thinking and it's variation B And this is a monster Come on Luis come on Luis Part number 110. Wow, it's Boba. Shit How about that Shawn Maddock? Very nice That is a redemption, but that should look really nice when you get it though And that is a rookie diamond ticket variation B. No problem, man Very nice, I was quickly toppled these autos too as well Yeah, I guess it would say cracked ice, right? But diamond sounds very nice All right, sweet That was a really good box as well That's two solid grade bought a two good boxes right here so far There's no two more to go guys Hockey's maybe yeah, that's right.

Oh Logan say not just hot no just hot hands That's true if anybody else breaks this case is just regular. It's just a regular box average whoa Wow, you can't get any trout autos, but you could definitely get Some numbered cards and potentially patches of panini and this is a cracked ice season ticket of Mike trout 4 out of 23 man. That's what I've been a great personal box Nick Sanders with the angels How about that as Robert just said noise Sosa Now from Sosa. Is he related to Sammy? Is that a son?

Who are UGC Net aspirants who panics when he sees the watch going tick-tock, tick-tock in the exam hall? Have you prepared yourself thoroughly for UGC Net exam but haven't really given it a thought about how to manage your time well in the exam hall? If yes, this video is for you. Hello friends, my name is Arpata Karwa and you are on your favorite channel where you find videos on UGC Net exam preparation. As UGC Net exam is right around the corner, today I am going to tell you a secret code about how to manage your time like a pro. But before we start, if you are new to the channel, please hit the subscribe button and do not forget to like this video. Over the years I have heard a lot of students telling me that their preparation was rock solid but they couldn't complete all the questions in the exam hall because of the time crunch. Well, I would like to say here that real issue is not time that is less but the real challenge is that you have never tried to manage that time effectively. Friends, time management is a skill that the paper setter is testing you on. No one tells you this. You won't find this fact in any reference book but look at the reality. If the time was more, a lot of students would be able to crack this exam but that's not the truth. What sets you apart from the other aspirants is your time management skills. Your what is going to be your best friend when you are appearing for UGC Net exam and how well you either do it may become a deciding factor to your result. So tell you without any much ado, let me give you the cheat code to manage time. The cheat code is hidden in the word track time. Friends, this is a mnemonic track time and every letter of track time stands for the tip that I am going to tell you in detail. The first word is T which stands for track time. Friends, as soon as you start appearing for your marks, put your watch in front of you and keep a tab on time. Let's say for example, the exam is of one hour and you have 40 questions. You get 1.5 minutes on average to answer each question. This includes the reading time and the time you will take to mark the answer. So make sure that you have a tab on time. I have observed that many aspirants are very chilled out during the first 15-20 minutes of the exam. They will be reading questions like a sloth bear. And when reality strikes, they panic so much that it often results in making a lot of silly mistakes. It is a simple fact that every second counts and therefore you have to be attentive from the very minute your exam time starts so that you can complete the paper in time without panicking and with full concentration. Friends, now we move on to the second point that is R. Track time me R tha that R we are talking about. R stands for read instructions carefully. A lot of aspirants think that all these competitive exams have the same instruction. So why read it? But friends, that's not the case. All exams have different set of instructions. So you must understand that in every exam, there is a separate time that is given to students to go through that instruction sheet. So when that instruction sheet is handed over to you or you see those instructions on the computer screen, why they dream? Instead utilize the time carefully reading the instructions. It would hurt you a lot if your exam sheet is cancelled just because you made a silly mistake on account of not reading the instructions properly. Coming on to the next step friends, A in track time stands for attempt order. I have made a separate video on how to attempt the questions. In short, you don't have to solve the questions in the sequence it is displayed on the screen. Instead always start with the questions that you are 100% sure of. This will boost your confidence and calm your brain to steadily proceed forward. Then you have to come to the questions that you are doubtful about. You can use elimination method which entails paying KBC with yourself and removing two wrong options from the four options. This will increase your probability of answering the question correctly to 50%.  So that should be the attempt order. The next tip is super important. C in the track time stands for checking the questions twice. These paper setters are very, very smart people and they are also very chalu. They just don't want to judge your command over the subject but they would also want to check your presence of mind. Sometimes you will feel that wow, this is a very easy question and you may end up picking the wrong answer in overexcitement or her body. Therefore it is always advisable to read every question properly and I would rather say read it twice. If you know an answer, don't get overexcited or overconfident. Keep calm. Sometimes you might find that there is a question which will ask you to choose who amongst the following has not been the Prime Minister of India. And you were so overconfident that you got extremely excited and you just saw the options and ticked on Narendra Modi. But you did not realize that the question said that who amongst the following did not become the Prime Minister of India. So just like that, if you want to avoid these mistakes, always read the question twice. Friends, the next tip is keeping your things organized.  Be very cognizant of your things. Keep them with you at all the times. Don't stay absent-minded. I have seen a lot of students who forget their Aadhaar card or Admit card at home and then they rush back eventually getting late for the exam. It inherently makes you anxious, increases your blood pressure and is not good for your pre-exam morale. Your stuff should be sorted on the night before the exam so that you remain calm and composed on the day of the exam. Friends, the next tip is tackling every question. The best part about UGC NetExam is that there is no negative marking which means that irrespective of whether you know an answer or not, you should attempt all the questions. Friends, if you don't attempt a question, your probability of getting marks for that question is zero. But if you attempt this question, even if you don't know it, your probability automatically increases to 25% which is a huge jump from 0%. So make sure that you don't skip questions. You mark answers even if you're not sure. Also to decrease the number of questions that make you cry in the exam, check out arpathakarwa.com. We have recently released a special mock test series for UGC NetEnglish aspirant. This mock test series contains 75 mock tests which will give you a lot of questions to prepare for and which will make your preparation very strong. If you haven't prepared for paper one yet, then you can also join UGC NetPaperOne courses that are available on our website and these courses will help you get those extra marks in the exam. Friends, moving on to the next tip in track time series, you have ignore your surroundings. At the exam center, there will be many things happening around you. Your co-aspirants might be talking or the fan might be making some weird noises or the invigilator might be talking too loud or XYZ things might be happening around you which makes it very difficult for you to concentrate. I know it's better said than done but you have to have to train yourself to ignore such things.  For those three hours, it should just be you and your question paper and that's all. These distractions can cost you so much that you will not be able to focus on the UGC NetPaper for which you have put in so much efforts. The next pro tip is to minimize the breaks. A lot of people when they get anxious or in the exam room will run to the loo but like I said every minute counts, every second counts I would say. Make sure that your bladder is empty before you enter the exam hall. Keep yourself hydrated, keep sipping water but not too much that you have to run towards the loo again and again. Ensure that those three hours you don't take any breaks as these breaks will ruin your concentration. Understand that you need 100% dedication and focus to ace this competitive exam and that can happen only when you plan things in advance. Friends, the final tip is to energize yourself. Now you will ask, Arpita, how do we energize ourselves in the exam room? You can do that by practicing deep breathing. Whenever you feel you're losing it, whenever you feel that questions in the exam paper are not making sense to you, try doing deep breathing for just 30 seconds. In the state of panic, your brain needs the most oxygen and I have been saying this in almost all my study tips video that you have to breathe to let your brain soak in the oxygen it needs and perform at the best of its ability. You won't believe how magically deep breathing can help you get back to the normal mode. I would even recommend that you do deep breathing right before the paper begins so that you embrace the question paper with a calm and peaceful mindset. And friends, with this we have reached to the end of the video wherein I gave you some very important study tips using the mnemonics track time. Now with that note I would like to take your leave. Please let me know if you want me to make any more videos on any new topic that I haven't covered already and I'll be extremely glad to come up with these videos very soon. And also you can ping me on WhatsApp if you have any specific doubts and I'll be more than happy to resolve them for you. If you are looking for quick revision strategies, then please visit my Instagram page today. You will find a bunch of reels wherein I'm helping students to devise important topics in less than a minute. If you found value in this video, please hit the like button and also share it with friends who might be struggling to manage time in UGC net exam. This is the time to implement the lesson taught by all our mothers. Sharing is caring. So that's it from my side for this video lecture. I'll see you very soon with another insightful and power packed video for exam preparation. Till then keep studying hard, keep loving literature and stay tuned to arpathakarwa.com.
