Okay, it is Sunday night. It's coming up to 9 p.m. London time I'm actually joined by Tim one of our senior traders over in Dublin. How's it going Tim? Really good Yeah, I mean so the the amplifier live kind of discord room that we have been pretty busy the last couple of hours There's been a lot of conversation about SLV silver And the kind of Wall Street Bets continuation and and what could be next and so on so Tim, why don't you just get us up to speed? What's the chat here at the moment? Sure. Well, this really started last sunday last saturday sunday I'm a member of the Wall Street best board on reddit Just really for skull game purposes and information gathering purposes if anything so They were they were sending out to pick game stuff and as we saw that come true through wednesday or monday all the way through Thursday and then really a lot of that shut down the fact happening on robin hood and it's now sort of sec investigation territory however In the mix of conversation on sunday saturday sunday last week on the boards there was a sort of An op-ed put out by the leader of the swarm if you like who is called the chairman and he had this sort of op-ed about Shorting silver SLV Or via by using SLV, which is the black rock eyeshares ETF silver tracker so It was a pretty convincing argument and it's been picked up by a lot of people as the world focused in on Game stop on wall street bets really from what happened to get to game stop an amc from kind of Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday And so people really are picking up on what they're talking about but they've also stumbled across this op-ed on SLV now I did talk about this monday morning and we did a little video and and Eddie recorded something on game stop, but i've been tracking this SLV and for me as Sort of someone who's tracking what these guys are up to I thought okay, it's one thing to move an equity You know like game stop or amc and there's a lot of games being played on the book there You know, I shared a video in our room Earlier on today where kramer From gmbc is talking about his good old days managing a hedge fund and All of the sort of games they used to play with driving Driving equity prices up fading them down re buying them and putting out news and fake news And it's a pretty eye-opening video. So do try and check that out on our on our discord if you can But really coming back to the point of why we're talking now is that Thursday last week. I thought okay. It's one thing to move equities It's another thing to move a global commodity market And I thought you know what? I like I like what these guys are doing I think they're pretty crazy Michael burry who's who's famous from the big short I famously shorted the mortgage market He's actually been in that trade with wilfrey bets As of I think middle of last year. So he was buying about 17 million dollars worth of game stock stock around two dollars And so you can kind of imagine the gains he's on but there are Sophisticated traders in this group and they do know what they're doing. So they're not to be discounted. Anyway came Thursday And on the red boards, they were solely focused on managing the game stock position by not liquidating Ie not putting any of their shares out for loan to short or nothing anything like that But then they switch focus to slv and the chairman started juicing the war cry right And you know what these guys response to it now there was a there was a quick calculation done by some people I follow on on on twitter And they calculated that the approximate Buying power of the swarm will call them now. We'll see bets is about 1.4 billion Um, so these guys are not to be trifled with so Sure enough Thursday open on the metals exchanges silver futures opened up Just a little tepid to start with but then slv started getting hit. Now the important thing to realize Is that an etf like slv? It's not it's it's it's net asset value is derived by The the futures price and the spot price of silver. So like with the oil etf Uh, I think it's us. Oh They uh, they're net asset value i.e. the price of us oil is directly a Mathematically correlated to the price of the spot price of a barrel of oil And a mixture of the front month future and the second front month future i.e Basically the first two to three months of all the prices of oil available and with slv Their net asset value is pegged to very something very similar in terms of the silver market Why is this important? It's important because once wall street bets started to lift i.e. buy a lot of slv Well slv asset managers and portfolio managers had to then To offset their risk take positions in the actual futures market for silver the si contract And this sort of sort of started this self Fulfilling prophecy in a way right, you know So they're they're buying etf and the etf have to offset offset their risk And commit to their new clients by buying more futures and then more futures rising the etf rises and so In a way this is important to remember because we saw the inverse of this happen In january 2018 when we had an incident called volmageddon where whereby the the vix I won't get too into this but essentially the vix went so high in in february jan feb 2018 That the portfolio managers who were hedged on their long equities positions were short in vix And that the pain on their short side and the vix trade got so High that they contractually had a puke point Of 80% volatility in their in their short side portfolio that they had to stop They had to stop selling vix futures. So what happens when you take the roof off something? Well, it it bounces high higher vix equities go down So what we're seeing essentially is the inverse of this now happening with the slv etf and as a consequence With this trade has now gotten a lot of air since last sunday monday coming into friday We've seen record inflows into the slv etf So huge amounts of of retail and institutional money stepping in there and Essentially, that is having a knock-on effect. So something I was looking forward to a peaceful sunday, but quickly got sucked into Some crypto stuff the stellar coin that which i'm an owner of so it was like opened about 10% up So my friends who I tried some crypto with were on to me Then I saw people Nicola juke who I follow on twitter who's who's a fantastic trader She was monitoring that the televieve exchange, which is open on saturdays and sundays their goals Etf tracker was up five percent. I checked back on it about lunchtime. It was up six and a half percent So, you know, uh, so we're looking forward to A pretty wild week in the metals complex Yeah, so that there's there's quite a few articles as you said it seems like this is building up a bit of traction And uh bloomberg reporting silver coin sites Have grinded to a halt and zero hedge Yeah, obviously those in the market will know zero hedge very well They're obviously coming into their element with these types of narratives at the moment They were talking about the same sort of thing Um, so what's the deal on the physical side? How does that play into this? Sure. Yeah, so I mean one of the One of the things about wall street bets on the swarm is that they they are very specific about Execution instructions as in okay, how do we get into this trade? Right and and and there are some guys in there who say oh, we'll play the options. We'll buy the outright. We'll buy the physical You know, that's the same with a lot of these trades. They they talk about well I will I am I better off on options? I'm a better off I'm just buying outright. Do we need to hedge this? And what we're seeing Out of the chairman was he was just like, you know what? We want to accumulate so much Um, that there is none of it. There are there is no available stock To to short to borrow to short because if you want a short and equity Or or a futures contract Mechanically in the background you you are actually borrowing that contract from someone who is long or an owner of the underlying asset to then and try and hold it to until the premium goes out of that price so They're buying a load of bullion. So we've seen just before I came on this chat And the we had walmarts Sight down they sell silver A lot of these like literally, you know, buy coins Buy like silver crew grounds stuff like that I know like on the elite trader team for best trade of the month They win a silver crew grand, which It's about 26 26 quid. Well, I think that's going to be worth a little bit more by the end of the week. So, um I don't know. I don't know if my prize gimme is going to continue a crew grand but the what the main point is is that at Everyone is buying etx. I called my aunt earlier on who does trade She's traded for 20 years 30 years And I said, you know, are you looking at silver? And she's like, oh, I've been so long silver for a couple of months now And I just re-bought and I was like, all right. Well, I'm late in this one You know, so it's it's a well-aired trade right now So I wouldn't be surprised to see a little bit coming off on the open Maybe a gap open gap fill on a pullback and maybe that'll be a dip and drive Um, you know, I have orders in a 25 as well myself Um full disclosure. I am long a minor That you all know about So it's it's going to be wild. It's going to be wild because these guys if there is no open float to short They're there for the price will Literally just have to drift drift up until it finds an offer and um bloomberg, you know, I mean I'm bloomberg at the moment. They just released an article saying from one of one of the largest traders of silver And he's just saying there are no offers in the market i.e. There are no sellers So therefore there's nothing to stop price as it goes right. So yeah, I've got got the article here as a device VP of zen zania group in chicago Yeah, quote now we're seeing nothing no single offer, which is scary It's what he said earlier So mechanically what happens in a market if there are no if there is If there's if there's very little to no liquidity If there's zero liquidity the market actually cannot move up If there is light liquidity the market will move up to where that liquidity is that could be a jump of A basis points five basis points 50 basis points and this is when you see these really fast moves because effectively the mechanics and the order dynamics going on in the exchange are That price is discovering essentially higher Until it wipes until until everyone's happy that they're long And so it's going to be interesting to see one more point that want to mention just before we wrap up on this is that the ratio of available physical silver for delivery Versus the number of contracts traded Is 250 to 1 So for every one unit of silver physically available to deliver There are 250 contracts traded on that one contract available So something's going to give and something's going to stop this week. Yeah, I mean, I'm just just to finish as well Your your take on I'm just watching our own Private discord room and they're talking about there's a lot of chat on twitter pointing out that the silver squeeze Is not being mentioned on reddit wall street bets, but rather it could be Instigated by hedge funds basically to lure the hordes away from gme stock any thoughts on that I think that makes a lot of sense. Absolutely, but this is sort of A situation now where it has become a self-refill and Lie if you like or you know if if this is interference being run by hedge funds Well, you know what they've got everyone's attention and they've got the liquidity the market has moved liquidity into this ETF I don't think Well, look, let's see how it opens. Let's see how it opens. I don't think silver is really a bad buy around 25 Anywhere from 22 to 25 dollars? I don't think it's a bad buy on you know on the futures market SLV trading 24 99 what I'm looking at right now um Actually, it's trading. Sorry right now pre market is trading 27 So it's up 1.09 pre market right now actually from nicey. So Whether it's whether it's wall street bets driving it or whether it's hedge funds We're up 1.1 percent. Yeah pre market Cool. Well, look we'll end it there. I know you've got a couple of hours ahead of you now And I'll catch you later on See bright nerdy. Thanks very much Tim Any questions any comments let us know below. Thanks very much. Thanks folks


Item number SCP-1367 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures When not being utilized for experimentation, SCP-1367 is to be kept in storage containment unit B-19 inside a cushioned container with 60 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm dimensions. Before storage, the container must be thoroughly cleaned of any hard or sharp debris. Before being removed from storage for experimentation, the latex elements of the object should be sprayed with a thin layer of a liquid-plastic polymer solution to improve durability. Personnel should be cautious when handling the object due to its possible fragile nature. Description SCP-1367 is a helium-filled balloon of common make and red coloration, measuring 45.7 cm from apex to inflation valve, which is tied shut by a 73.6 cm white string. The object has no identifying marks that would indicate a manufacturer. Testing of the physical durability of SCP-1367 has been minimal due to the fragile nature of the commonly manufactured balloons which it resembles. However, it has been concluded that it does not lose helium through its permeable latex membrane. While it does exhibit the buoyancy expected from its helium content, the object's movements seem to be unaffected by air current and lift. SCP-1367, if left to float freely, will begin to maneuver towards the largest gathering of at least six individuals within 480 meters whose aggregate mood is at least mildly positive. This deliberate movement is difficult to detect, since the object moves as if it were being pushed about by air current. However, tests conducted in an airtight room have proved no air current is necessary for the object's local motion. When SCP-1367 comes within 4.5 meters of a targeted gathering, auditory abnormalities are heard by all within listening range. The amount of distinct speakers seem to be doubled, as additional voices are heard amongst a group. These voices are invariably in high spirits, and seem to belong to individuals that match the age and vocal patterns exhibited by the majority of those present, though mimicking no group member exactly. The content of this audio phenomenon is difficult to decipher, as it only occurs when other normal audio is being generated, and never exceeds its volume. The extraneous audio always appears to be emanating for several meters away, and has been proven to be audible on recordings as well. In rare situations, other audio elements haven't heard. These seem to become more common when SCP-1367 has bonded to a larger and louder group with an elevated mood. An example of these instances are listed below. The sounds of children laughing and playing outdoors. A slurred toast, followed by the noise of glasses clinking. People chanting chug encouragingly. Several renditions of the birthday song based on the melody composed by the hill sisters.  An entertainer's voice, using a manner of speech commonly attributed to clowns. Hearing an unknown language. Carnival pipe organ music. Anomalous audio resembling humanoid voices will not communicate with any real individuals. When the targeted group disperses, its speech and noise levels subside, or its mood changes to a non-positive state. The audio phenomenon will cease, and SCP-1367 will move to another group rebuilding its criteria if one is available. As the effect of realizing there is extraneous audio is somewhat disquieting, a targeted group noticing the effect will oftentimes inadvertently end the object's effects. In cases where SCP-1367's effects go unnoticed or are disregarded, the targeted group will find themselves experiencing a slowly elevating positive mood, and increasingly fewer inhibitions when it comes to social interaction. At approximately two hours of exposure, there seems to be no further effect. At no point does the targeted gathering seem to be under a compulsion to continue their activities and behave with normal discretion in regards to commitments, exhaustion, and the like. Observed targeted groups have engaged in binge drinking games, food fights, dancing without music, physical children's games, and orgies among other activities.


oh my god there's so much stuff everywhere i'm so overwhelmed i found some 300 piece ones here from masterpieces it doesn't have the price on them it's another one that's pretty $10 that's kind of a lot oh it's brand new that's why got some games so one thousand piece $3.99 probably less i don't three dollars what else have we got here nothing bradley 500 piece three dollars as well video's probably not gonna last long with me talking because of the music this is ten dollars it's a nice box it's no it's not brand new it's used what else do we have two dollars for this one here check this one out a heronym collection like the ones i got from ebay those are cool the four one thousand piece puzzles how much is this one there's actually no price on this get this it's a crypt puzzle i've seen you guys do these online how much is this one 750 is that worth it for a used crypt puzzle how much are these usually oh my god i just might get this one anyways i don't know my only concern would be if it has all the pieces in it should i risk it i don't know oh my gosh i feel like this is kind of a good find here okay so far that's a possibility what else do we have here we have codex looks like we got some cico ones here let's see what this is that's cute we have this one here as well this is six ninety nine we have another hometown collection like the ones i picked up from ebay eight dollars which is actually more than what i spent on ebay let's see what else got a cico for 350 but i have tons of c we have a big band set here is that the brand i'm assuming it's the brand yeah that makes sense nice red barn that's 450 that's not too bad i mean i don't know so far i'm still eyeing this crypt one here this this this might be coming along with me as i shop the rest of the store so let's see what else we can find another small area here with some puzzles please excuse the hammering but we have this one five dollars four we have a thomas kinkade here that's a very old cico that's three dollars we have some cardinal ones here for a dollar 50 these are 500 piece cico another one here by yes design six dollars oh these are brand new puzzle sets too well some of them are not all of them there's quite a number of cico ones here i'm not really looking for cico we got a brand new springbok here for eight dollars it's not bad mostly cico i don't really want cico animal kingdom now look at this if there was a disney one here that i'd be all over it but i actually have this one already it's not bad it's brand new for eight dollars that's cheaper than what i would pay at lumber now i have this one in 500 piece so it doesn't really make sense for me to get a 750 piece i should just get one that i don't have let's keep looking got a springbok for six dollars here brand new which is much cheaper than what you would pay at like walmart or something that one's 10 mainly cico too bad they didn't have disney ones that i don't have but anyways let's keep looking oh my god there's so much stuff everywhere i'm so overwhelmed so we have here the iam horse iam wolf these are six dollars now in these these kind of places you have to really look in between the items that are on the shelves because i'm noticing as i look through things i'm spotting boxes of puzzle sets within books and other random things so you have to keep a close eye out as you're shopping through thrift stores i mean this place is massive so this is very interesting so first impressions on my first thrift store shop honestly it was quite overwhelming it was a very very big store and i wish i could have showed you every level in every corner of it but that would have just been a very long video and probably a very loud one as well at one point they were blasting music on one of the levels and i was like why is there a party going on in here but anyways i was happy to see that they did carry a pretty okay selection of puzzles a little more expensive than what i was expecting honestly but in the end it wasn't too bad now hit that like button if you're a fan of shopping at thrift stores and let me know down below if you found some real treasures and what kind of really good deals you found now i kind of showed you whilst we were there the price tags on most of them and if you can also let me know is that kind of typical pricing for thrift stores or did you think it was kind of expensive there i'm really new to this so i'm not really sure really what they should be charging or if i can probably find the better deal elsewhere i kind of feel like for a lot of them they kind of averaged out to the same as to what i would get through ebay but i don't know maybe in thrift stores you just gotta get lucky i don't know but anyways through all the puzzles that i saw there there was only really one that kind of piqued my interest and that particular set was which you're probably not surprised or maybe you are i don't know but it was this one and this one is 654 pieces it is the crypt silver puzzle and it is approximately 20 inches by 27 inches when it's completed and it intrigued me because i've heard so much about the crypt series from robin's burger and i've been eyeing quite a few of them online but i didn't really want to spend full price for a puzzle that was probably gonna make me pull my hair out so i'm really glad that i was able to find it at a much much cheaper price this box is pretty darn old-looking and it smells very old too to be honest but overall i feel like the box is in pretty good shape i feel like we should just open this together real quick and let's see what we got here i'm trying my best not to um tear anything but i mean you know will all the pieces be in here i i don't know this is uh this seems a bit risky to me to be honest it might only have 300 pieces in here i don't know it's ticked pretty darn well so i better have all the pieces in there oh my god this doesn't give me much hope now that i'm looking at this and um the reason why i say that is because they're just kind of all loose in here the paperwork itself inside looks really good what is this what does this come with oh okay so i guess it comes with a diagram i mean the diagram itself is in very good shape the envelope is in good shape we also have a warranty certificate i've never done anything like this before and as i said this was never a particular collection or set that i'd be willing to pay more than 20 bucks for considering that it will most likely cause me to get very upset because i can only imagine how frustrating this could be trying to put together with it all just being one color i mean how the heck do you even start with something like this if any of you have completed a robinsburger crypt puzzle or anything similar to this let me know down below what your strategy was overall as i put my hand through all these pieces i must say the condition of them is very good yeah i mean whoever owned this puzzle took very good care of it nothing looks damaged nothing looks bent so who knows if all the pieces are actually in here then you know this was totally worth it here's another question do you guys usually when you buy thrifted puzzles or used puzzles do you count all your pieces before you start it to like kind of mentally prepare yourself for the fact that you'll never finish the puzzle or like do you just wing it and just like get very sad in the end as i said i'm a little nervous that you know i'll try to complete this and i'll go nuts trying to complete it to then find out that i can never actually complete it i mean that's pretty devastating you know what it makes me think of honestly and i know most of us talk about this in the comments down below about missing pieces in our puzzle sets and a lot of yous don't mind really but for me personally if i'm taking the time to complete something with a thousand pieces five hundred pieces or something like this kind of nonsense i would really want to feel like i put a period at the end of it you know i guess the best way that i can compare the feeling to me is like let's say for example for a second i know this is totally random but i feel like i gotta say this i feel like i gotta explain myself here let's say you're watching an amazing tv show it's the best show you've ever seen in your whole life and it's the end of the season not the series and it's the last episode of the season and it leaves you at a cliffhanger and at that point you're like oh man what a cliffhanger you know i can't wait till the next season and then a few weeks later they announced that the series has been cancelled and you go about the rest of your life never knowing what would have happened afterwards i hate being left in suspense and to me that's kind of like how i feel about missing pieces in a puzzle set i want to start my puzzle and i want to finish my puzzle i want to see it all together i don't want nothing missing i don't want to have to imagine what it would look like with without missing pieces in it i don't know that's just me i know that was totally off topic and completely random but i don't know i kind of felt like i had to explain myself there now that was the only puzzle that i picked up from the thrift store i think if i had more time i could have probably browsed a little longer and looked more into the ones that were piled along with this one but that's for another day and there's still a couple of other thrift stores that i found online that i want to go check out as well so there'll be more thrift store halls coming up so after we checked out that place before we headed home we actually headed to the outlets where we went inside my favorite puzzle store and it was actually the place that i went to in my puzzle shop with me video and if you haven't seen that one i'm gonna leave the link to that down below but they were having their buy 150 off sale so you know i had to go in and see what was going on in there now i would have had footage for you guys but the place was in disarray i had i had to actually ask the lady who was working there you know what was going on are you closing the store are you leaving like what i was freaking out a bit because i thought the store was gonna disappear soon apparently she was just moving shelves around and changing stock so thankfully they're not leaving that location but i did manage to pick up a couple of sets while i was there so here is what i picked up and the first one i picked up and you saw this in that puzzle shop with me video but i finally picked up my white mountain puzzle Betty Crocker's cookbooks it is 1000 pieces and it is 24 inches by 30 inches when it's completed and i'm really glad that i picked this one up because the other thing that i really love to collect is cookbooks and my daughter was insistent that i picked it up this time so i did this is just a collage here of Betty Crocker cookbooks which is awesome i love Betty Crocker oh my gosh i can stare at this image all day long and the fact that i see a Betty Crocker cookbook here that my mom owned when i was really really young and she had already had it for a long time it was falling to pieces but it was such an awesome cookbook and i would and i remember i would just sit in my closet and just skim through the whole book and i was super young i was probably like seven maybe i don't know but that really does bring back memories this is really fun i can't wait to do this one and the next puzzle that i picked up was from the company springbok and this one is called the fruit stand it is 500 pieces and it is 18 inches by 23 and a half inches when it's completed and i had also saw this one the last time i was there and i almost picked it up but this time i wasn't leaving without it so yeah this is absolutely gorgeous we have ourselves just a little farm stand here i love shopping at farm stands and you know what this is probably my own personal farm stand here if i knew how to grow fruit and vegetables i guess one can dream the scenery in this image is amazing i love the look of the colors in the sky we have a beautiful barn in the background this lovely little wagon with some fruits and vegetables on it and just some random chickens you know pecking at what's there but anyways i think overall i picked up a pretty good selection of puzzles today and again i kind of hope that the thrift store had you know better deals in terms of prices but you know i'm kind of glad that i picked this one up anyways guys that's all for today don't forget to let me know down below what your experiences have been like shopping at thrift stores and as i said before i do plan to shop at other ones so be sure to subscribe if you're new here so that you can come along with me on those trips anyways guys thank you for watching and i will see you in the next one


Today, I am putting in place new provincial health officer orders for all individuals, places of work and businesses in communities within the Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health Regions with the exception of the Central Coast and Bella Cooley Valley. The orders will be in effect for the next two weeks from today at 10 p.m. through to Monday, November 23rd at 12 p.m. This will give us a chance to stop the transmission, to have a break in that rising transmission rate that we are seeing, and we need to focus our attention on that now. There are to be no social gatherings of any size with anyone other than your immediate household. This includes indoor gatherings of fewer than 50 people, even in controlled settings. So it supersedes our mass-gathering order that we have had in place for some time. Funerals and weddings may proceed with your immediate household, but there are to be no associated receptions inside or outside your home or at any public or community-based venues. This is a time-limited order, but this is what we need to do now. We need to stop our social connections where we unfortunately are seeing this virus spread and spread to those that we are closest to and that we care most about.


First, how did I come in contact with the issue? Like so many men and boys, I was lied to. I was duped. I was snookered. I was flugabooved. I was played by an ex-girlfriend who she said these words that I will model after Chris Rock the actor. She said, that's your baby. And it turned out, 11 years later I found out it was a huge lie. That lie was so big, man, you couldn't fit it in this room. But if you've heard anything about intimate partner relationships, often men and boys are taken advantage of in this way because we don't know that the child's mother has one or more intimate partners during the window of conception that she said he did it. And the family court operates in such a way that if she said you did it, you did it.  And there's some problems with that. So what's the problem? To have any kind of conversation, we got to have some kind of common defining of terms. I think that would be reasonably fair.  Look, key words here, without advising him, without advising the government officials in the courts that someone else could be the father. This is not an accident. And out of all of the people who were involved, there's only one person in that scenario who knows there are other potential paternity candidate that exists. And who is she? The child's mother. And she knowingly and willingly conceals the existence of that other guy or other man from the guy who she might want really hard to be the father. That's the guy she's in love with. And he's already into the relationship with her. And she wants to bring him back into the relationship using a bait baby. If you've ever heard of fishing, you can't catch fish without bait, right? Well, how do you get access to the guy's resources and get the full weight and enforcement of the court system all the way up to the Attorney General's office in a state? If you can get that guy to believe that he's the father and you can get him to put his name on a document based on that belief, it'll get you access that is enforceable under pay or go to jail. That doesn't sound like a real good deal when presented that way. And some women groups have hated me for saying it like that.  You can't blame me about the presentation when the facts don't always agree with your feelings. And what I say to the rad feminists, the facts don't care about your feelings. The facts are, there is no current law that requires a full and truthful disclosure of all material facts to who? To the alleged father, key word, alleged, presumed, was told he was. Now, my father was come from a generation where they had this little very famous song that says, smile and faces sometimes don't tell the truth, which is amazing to me because when I got to court, they insisted, I mean, all but demanded that I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. See if I had kind of like played shady with my financial affidavit and say, you know what? I didn't really make six figures, Your Honor. No, I didn't. No, I didn't. I did not make that much money, Your Honor. I only made $1,000 the whole year and therefore you should base my child support on that $1,000 for the whole year. Now, as asinine as that sounds, you're like, man, there's no way you could pitch that idea and get away with it. But yet a child's mother who has to submit no proof that a husband, boyfriend, fiance, one nightstand, she is not required to submit any proof that that guy is a father. That says to me there's potential for fraud. Listen to what some of appellate court judges have said. And this is the United States Supreme Court of the United States. In the field of contested paternity, the truth is so often obscured because social pressures create a conspiracy of silence or worse, deliberate falsity, a.k.a. lying on purpose. You say, well, how does this apply? The courts don't ask the mothers the relevant question. The relevant question is, did you have intimate relations with anyone else beside the accused during your window of conception? They don't want to ask that question. Why? That would narrow the field of people who she can point at. What else the judge said? The person that alleged to be the father has a legitimate interest, a legitimate interest in not being declared the father of a child. He had no hand in bringing into the world. It is important to him that he not be required to provide support and direct financial assistance to one not his child. I think that's a right decision. And since it's coming from the United States Supreme Court, or better yet we refer to SCOTUS as Supreme Court of the United States, that is a 1987 decision. When I was doing legal research to try to help my case in my own state, the appellate court in Georgia said, not only has the putative father been cock-holded, the law adds injury to insult by requiring him to pay child support even after he established he is not the biological father. He has been framed for a pregnancy that he did not commit and he has proof that he did not commit. He has legally admissible proof. He's not the father. He never was the father. He will never be the biological father. And doesn't matter how much the child's mother cries and says, but I believed he was my baby's dad. I want him to be the baby's daddy. I've gotten used to getting that $330,000 a month check. And you think that number is imaginary. I'll show you later in the slide. There is a guy who actually ended up paying $330,000 per month for child support and the key had turned out to not be his and he was just as ticked about it as I was about being sued for $1,800 a month. Men do not like being taken advantage of. We don't like being manipulated. We don't like being threatened.  And once the balance exceeds $2,501 you are facing a felony prison conviction for what they call child abandonment. Does that sound like a good deal to anybody? The state loves it. It is a rather revenue generating activity. So to create fiction in this matter does not make the male the biological father of the child. It simply makes him the victim of the law. While the courts may preach their false policy, they lose the respect of any citizen with common sense. The legislature should address this issue. Man, when I saw that statement from a appellate court judge, I said, hallelujah, somebody with some common sense. The judge got it right. So guess what I did? I took the issue before my state lawmakers and we got the law changed with the full legislative support of the House of Representatives 163 to 0. And in my House of Senate, 45 to 5, and the governor who I had brought the issue to a year prior, he told me a year prior to that he says there's nothing I can do about it. I understand what you're saying. However, unless legislation comes across my desk, even though I am the leader of terms of the executive branch of the state government, there's nothing I can do until a bill comes across my desk. I said, I got you. I'll be back. And in one year, thank God Almighty for his help and his favor. In one year, we came back while at the same time my own case was going up to the United States Supreme Court. And I watched the governor sign it in the law with the judge from my case there and the judge on my case apologized and said his previous ruling was wrong. How's that for some poetic justice? Now mind you, while we're having that conversation, I'm still facing that pay or go to jail order. And this judge can no longer rule on the case. But he wanted to get, I guess maybe some conscious matter, you know, and when my lawyers told me he wanted to talk to me, he was not on my list of people I ever wanted to talk to again. But I figured if he was big enough to come to the signing of the bill, I was going to be man enough to hear what he had to say. He stuck his hand out and apologized and said I was wrong and I'm glad that the law has changed. That further emboldened me. That emboldened me so much so that once the United States Supreme Court had two meetings on my case, they made me send them a copy of the Georgia law and then they sent me back a letter with one line and it said petition to grant certiori denied. I was not exactly the happiest fellow that you could believe right then. And according to most people, you can't do anything after you've appealed to the highest court in the land. Now, there are some radical people like myself who believe there is a court that's higher than the United States Supreme Court. There's a court that's so high that every judge is going to have to bow down to this court. And that's going to be the court where God is the king. And at that moment in time, I believe he reminded me of some things that I had written into the law and I remember what I wrote in. I was like, wait a minute, hold on, this case is not over. Using the things that I wrote into the Georgia law with my state lawmakers, I went back to court and on February 6, 2003, I won. I won my case as the first person using the law and walked out with two television cameras in the courtroom saying to myself, free at last, free at last. Thank God almighty, I'm free at last. My family's not going to risk me going to prison. My newborn baby and my wife at home are not going to become homeless. And with the stroke of a pen, it wiped out all of the payments that I had not paid. And it wiped out all of the future payments. Because I wasn't willing to agree to pay anything once I knew the truth. And it gave the mother 30 days to get my name removed off the birth certificate and provide me with a certified copy. But I did say this to her. I said, listen. My family and I, we love your daughter. We would love to continue to see her and we'll do things for her directly, but not put money in your hands. She said, if you're not willing to stay under the court order, you can't see her unless you pay for supervised visitation. I'm like, man, there's no reasoning here. And I declined that offer because I would have to pay for supervised visitation. So I haven't seen the child. She is now a college graduate.  Thanks to me being on the show, Dr. Phil's show called Parent Trap with one of my clients, a doctor whose wife lied to him, had an affair with her co-worker.


and welcome to Desk Lady Aida. Hey everybody, welcome to Desk Lady Aida. It's a Sunday night. Happy Mother of Dave, those who celebrate. And we're here at the desk where I'm doing electronics as always with me is Mr. Lady Aida. Word to your mother. I'm camera control. Okay, let's kick this off. We're gonna do a pretty fast show. We got a lot to do Lady Aida. What are you working on this week?  So on the overhead, the first sample is this conductive rubber sheet. So this, we have in the store a rubber cord. But this is I think used for like EMI gasketing because it has resistance. Hold on, let me dial in my multimeter and then I can measure it. So this has 300 ohms resistance across it. So it's flexible, it's conductive and the resistance does change with stretching, not a ton, but it does. So maybe I'll just hook up these alligator clips so I can demo it. Maybe I'll put the alligator clip here. And there, and then I'll just have this on the screen. So naturally it's about 350, whoops. And then you stretch it, it goes up to like 400. I'm stretching it like this. You can see it's like 400 or so and then when it bounces back, it changes again and then eventually it slowly goes back down to the original resistance. So kind of interesting material was good for. You could make sensors where you could make like weird conductive shapes that or capacitive type sensors that are flexible and curvy. So this is I think half a millimeter thick material. So I got half a millimeter and one millimeter. So that's one sample I got. Another sample I got is this motorized pots. Let me move the multimeter out of the way and turn it off to save battery. One moment, put it back on my desk. Okay, so this is a motorized potentiometer and you can see the motor here and this is a five volt motor here. And there's a little gearing kit here. I don't know if there's like multiple, you guys had one gear.   And you can move it back and forth. And here's the potentiometer pads here. So you can, and then there's like the one, you know, there's always one on the other side. So this is like the one pin and then the other and then the center. And then the third pin, cause you wanna like, why is there three pans? There should be, sorry, there's four pans total cause there's one here and there's three here. The reason there's four pans and not three like you'd expect for like one, two. And then the slider is because it's also like a passive touch pin, which is the resistance. It's just actually connected to the metal, I think of this at the check cause I just looked at the data sheet. So it'll let you know when you're touching the slider. Of course you have to have a metal slider cap, but that way you can tell when somebody's touching it because if you're driving it and somebody's touching it, it should immediately release the drive and let the person move it. So for my demo, I've got, I just hooked up a Metro mini and I have my little DRV 8830 driver chip going on there. And then let's see, I thought I had this going. Maybe I don't, oops, I hope I didn't reprogram it. I might have reprogrammed it. One moment, let me check my Arduino port. It thinks it's powered, but it's not. So why not? Uh-oh, I hope I didn't break it. Well, I had the live video, I had the video that we shot. I guess I can get that in case. Yeah, I wasn't expecting this to not work, but I also, I don't know if like maybe something got loose. I also could have like broken it. All right. You wanna play the video? Well, it'll just take me a second or so because it's not available. Okay, why don't you, why don't I look at something else and then I'm weird, I have to figure out. I also never used this motor drive before, this was like the first time I used it. Another sample I got is this DWM-1000. So this is a ultra wide band module. I actually got these a while ago and I've been needing to use them and I kind of get around to it. So these are kind of interesting because they look like, you know, wireless modules, but what they do is, yet, you know, there are 2.4 gigahertz and I think it's based off of like ZigBee or something. But what they're used for is, I guess they use like ultra wide band signaling and use like the time of flight or like the frequency change bounce rate or something between these modules to do indoor positioning, which is a really hard problem. A lot of people are always asking me, how do you indoor positioning? Like I wanna know where in 3D space something is in a room and I'm like, that's actually really, really hard. It's quite easy to detect outside where you are using GPS. It's good within 10 meters, but if you want something precise, you know, yeah, you can do like Bluetooth, RSSI signaling, but you know, these ultra wide band modules are kind of the only solution I know of. I know that there's also like, you know, expressive try to implement something like this with their modules. And I think also there's also an attempt to do this with microchip, one of the microchip boards. They had like some capability to do like time of flight distance measurement, but what's nice about these modules is they actually have like API and code ready to go.  They're very, very slim. And they use SPI and again, there's, you know, the company publishes Arduino library code and Python library code to interface with them. So the only thing is, you know, I bought four because you need to have, you know, two base stations at least, probably three base stations in order to triangulate where in space this thing is. So probably three, you know, static devices and then one free floating device.  And so one thing that's really common, you know, folks who contact me is they're doing like theater or like escape rooms or interactive art. And this is, you know, a problem they're trying to solve. Like I want to know when a thing has moved a certain distance or to a certain part of the room. So another funky sample. So this is the DWM module kit. There's a new version that just came out for 3000. I don't know the difference. I think it seems, it seems like to have a couple updates. All right. Did you want to try to? Yeah, the video. Okay. Why don't you play the video because my thing stopped working. Past us did a good job. Yeah. Hey, what is this? This is a motorized pot. Not sure if you've ever seen one, but it's a potentiometer and you can see the potentiometer points here. And then there's a motor that connects to it. And it actually goes through this little gear and it can move the slider back and forth. So you can either, it has a touch sensor too, by the way, for capacitive touch. So you can either set the resistance or you could have it automatically set to like a presetting. And I'm controlling it with this breakout board that I kind of like designed right before COVID and then I've never finished because I got distracted from COVID with a DRV 8833 STEMI QT breakout. So good news is this works and this works and this is kind of fun. Seems alive. It's almost like a possessed electronic.  Yeah, less, more. No, I'm angry. I was like, hi, here I am. Yeah. Maybe it's waving hello. Yeah, hi. All right. So it's the motorized pot being driven by a STEMI QT motor board. Okay, we're back. Okay, one second. It's gone. I have another sample I thought I could maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, because I don't remember which one of the samples I was testing. Also have this sample. Maybe I'll quickly test it out. Okay. Yeah, some of the things were live demos. Well, we had a video, so it doesn't matter. I could have even pretended that wasn't real, but I feel like- I think the motor driver, I think I best remember. I feel like you should always be honest with the- No, no, no. I think I broke the motor driver and there's this other. Oh, you know what I can do is I can just, I can just connect it up directly to power. So hold on. Let me, let me grab my screwdriver and then I'll just, we'll do it live. I'll just remove. All right. How about, do you think you can handle a question while I'm doing this? Yeah. I'm just doing the chemical. I'm just gonna- Stuff? Yeah. Okay, my ESP32 S2 feather won't go out of its FTHR S2 boot state when I upload the CircuitPython UF2 file to it. It just resets and comes back with neither the UF2 file nor CircuitPython. Do you know why? Post in the Discord for CircuitPython because it's very hard to help when I can't type right back. Yeah. Post in the Discord, help with CircuitPython or just post in the forums. Yeah. You're probably just selecting the wrong file. Yeah. You might ask for some screenshots or some other info. Okay. So- It looks like you got something on. Yeah. I'm doing manual H bridge. Yep. So, yeah. This is what the motor driver would be doing. Just going back and forth. Yeah. But it does work when the motor driver's busted. And I thought these would be really fun to have. They're used in AV boards, like really nice ones where you can like make presets. This is kind of fun. I can like move it and I'll shift back.   And then once it's preset, you can adjust it. So you're not like sitting there and like tweaking, you know, 25 sliders all at once. So this is fun. This is from Alps. But I don't know the part number off the top of my head. I don't know, maybe seven, two CC. But there you go. Yes, this is a, this is one type. There's another type I got. I didn't like this one as much because it was, this motor was chunkier. Even though this was less expensive also, I didn't like this open top. I liked that this type has a kind of a more closed top and doesn't have the belts as exposed whereas this one has, you know, this exposed belt, which I thought was a little scary. So this sample did not make it. The other sample did. Okay. I think that's it. Oh yeah. And then I'll, I'm going to transition. How long? I'm going to just put everything away. Put everything away. Okay. Hold on one. Okay. And then finally the thing I'm working on tonight is my NAU 7802 testers. So this is the NAU 7802. And this is a Wheatstone bridge. So actually a 24 bit ADC, which I'm using as a Wheatstone bridge amplifier such as for use with strain gauges.  You connect two corners of the bridge to power and ground and then you can measure the differential. It's like the resistance changes through the differential ADC measurements of the white and green wire, which is awesome. The only thing is I couldn't get these chips for a really long time. And then a shipment that I ordered, you know, it was affected by the chip shortage. Pretty much everything for new Votan got really affected. But I finally got my shipment in. Yay. So these chips came in, you can see the prototype. So I'm just working on the tester now using this Metro board, so Arduino compatible. And what I'm going to do is this cable here, I've got to plug in, you know, to have just do a measurement to test the ADC, you know, I have this cable and then this will be cut off and soldered to strain gauge wires here, like one, two, three, four. And that way we can, you know, easily plug it in and then during test, you know, if you just squeeze this, it'll see that the resistance changes, the ADC changes. Oh, okay, okay. Do you want to go on to grade search? Yep. Let's kick it right off. The grade search right to by a friendage key, lady, user powers of engineering every single week do help you find the things you need, lady, to what is on the grade search this week. Okay. So this week, because I am working on my NAU-7802 tester, maybe go to the overhead. I'll show that again. So the NAU-7802, it's a 24 bit AVC. It's got differential inputs, which you need because it's good for measuring wheat stone bridge type devices like strain gauges. There's a lot of other sensors that are wheat stone bridges that are very sensitive, although strain gauges are kind of the most popular. And so the NAU-7802 I ordered a few months ago and it finally came in, so I'll be able to make hours. But the thing is, if somebody else was like, hey, I want to make my own wheat stone bridge amplifier, I'd be like, hey, you can't get any because if you search on digit key, this isn't going to come into stock till like early 2023. So I thought for the grade search, what we could do is I could find you an alternative because I got mine, but maybe you want yours and you don't want to wait eight, 10 months until these chips come back in the stock. So let's identify another good wheat stone bridge amplifier. So I'm going to look for something that's 24 bit. I use I squared C, but maybe SPI is also good. So we'll look for both. And we want something that has differential inputs and something, which is pretty common with AUC, so I'm not too worried about it, is in stock and it has a programmable game. So let's go to the computer. So one of the things that's kind of nice about the N80702 is it has, you know, the rate isn't very high. The reason it's inexpensive is it's like, you know, you pretty much run it at 80 samples per second and that's great for just measuring weight. It's not good for measuring, you know, a lot of like EMG type sensors or whatever, anything that's precision that you need fast responses on, but for weight, weight doesn't change that much. You know, you put something on the scale and then, you know, you're okay waiting two seconds until you get a stable measurement. But one thing that is really nice is it has this built in gain. So programmable gain amplifiers is quite nice.  Higher gain usually means more noise and so you want to have like a balance, but you know, the higher the gain also, the smallest signals you can read. So, you know, you want a balance of like being able to read small signals, but also not, you know, blowing out your range because if there's a lot of movement in the signal, your PGA is going to overflow your 24-bit reading. So you can dynamically change it, which is quite nice. So, let's go to Digikey. And so the chip I'm using is the NAU 7802, which is this chip. The dip is in stock. So if you happen to be okay with that, I do have lots, which is wonderful. But the chip that I've been using is the SMT, the SOIC version. And then if you look, you know, it's not going to be in stock for a bit and it could be even longer. So let's find a good alternative. So I'm just going to look for 24-bits. I'm not going to select the other inputs. I will only go with one ADC because you're always going to pay for more ADCs and you definitely need one. And they definitely want to be surface-mount. But everything else is kind of like up for grabs. Again, I don't really care if the voltage range is 3.3 volts and also features, you know, there's always a range of features possible. And the configuration also might be different. Also, I'll show you the differential in single-ended. Like pretty much any ADC, once you get to 16-bit, they're all going to have differential inputs. It's actually quite rare to not see a differential input on an ADC once you're paying more than like a couple of dollars on it. Okay, so let's go for active. And again, we're going to later filter for in stock. But I'm going to exclude marketplace so we only see, we don't see like the reseller once. Okay, just samples per second against, we don't really care about the samples per second. Input type, I don't actually totally trust this. So I'm going to ignore it as well. And then what I will do is, I'm going to go for the data interface. So SPI is okay, and I want I squared C. I2S I don't want because it's audio input and parallel I don't want and LVDS I don't want. So I'm just going to go for SPI, I don't know what serial is. A serial could be your, or it could be SPI or it could be I2C. And then let's search for those. And then, okay, so there's a lot of options, which is good, but a lot of them are kind of expensive. So I'm going to just sort by price because that's what we care about. And as expected, the NAU-7802 are like the cheapest. So the ones that we can't get are about like a dollar or two, which is unfortunate because we can't get them. But there is this one over here, this 3565 from microchip. One thing to notice, it has much higher sample rate. It has 153K, which is great. It still has two inputs. It's also differential and seeing on it. However, it's only I squared C. One thing that's a little, I was a little at first I was worried because I was like, oh, this doesn't have programmable gain. It also has a lower voltage range. Like it only goes up to 3.3 volts. But when I looked at the datasheet, because I was like, well, I got to look to make sure does it really not have gain. It actually does have programmable gain. It goes up to 64 times gain. Whereas the NAU-7802 does 128. 64 is still pretty good. I think it's probably fine. It has external clock selector, just like the NAU. It has differential inputs, like you'd expect. There's gain error calibration, so you can do, and it's very tiny. It's kind of cute. It's like, hi, I'm just a little, I'm just like a little bored here.  So this is what it would look like. Pretty straightforward. Like the NAU, it's kind of nice. It can do the reference in and out. So you have any, if you're doing the ratio metric input, you want to make sure that your positive input to the Wheatstone bridge is exactly the same as your positive reference to the ADC. And so any noise gets canceled out, because again, you're only measuring the difference between the voltage divider between the positive and the negative rail on the bridge here. So what's nice is that you've got the reference in plus and the reference in minus and you just make sure they match up and they just need an RC filter. So this is for like, RTDs for pressure sensors for load cells like the before. You also use it for other stuff like thermocouple amplifiers and stuff which need precision differential inputs as well because you're measuring little microvolt changes on your K-type thermocouple. So this chip will do the job quite nicely. Looks like there's a few in that family, the 356X, they're all fairly inexpensive, comes with a couple options. And this one at least is in stock. So that's great. But let's also filter for only in stock. The other option I found, so that one was SPI and you might be like, well, I really don't want SPI, I really want I squared C. Well, I squared C is a couple but most of them are not in stock. The first one that's in stock, that's I squared C. Let's quickly go over here and select I2C. Not a lot of things in stock or normally stocking, but this one did come up. This is the ADS1219 which I downloaded the datasheet. So this is fairly also pretty fast. It's a one kilosample per second. ADC, this doesn't have as many programmable gains that it only goes up to a four times gain. So I don't know if it could be good enough for we stone bridge, but I think it would be tough without another amplifier. That said it has four inputs. So this is like, I think you could use it with a we stone bridge but I think you'd probably want, you wouldn't get as much signal, you'd probably want amplifier. Yeah, they don't have a recommendation. So it's the one that's I squared C but it's not great for that use purpose. However, it is I squared C in 24 bits. So depending on what you're using it for, you know, if it's not a load cell, it might be okay. If you are using a load cell, I would probably, and you don't mind going with SPI, I would say that the MCP356 series is your best bet. So you got two options to pick your poison, differential options. That's a great church. All right, and that is our show for tonight. Wonderful. Maybe you can try to take a look at this one. This is a question from earlier. What was about this? I don't know if this was related to our show. I don't know what they mean by NAU Civito2 talk. We're just, it's an old design and I'm going to, you know, I couldn't get chips for a lucky year, but I can get chips. So we're going to, we're gonna finish the tester and we're gonna go into manufacturing. Okay. I'm not sure. Yeah, I mean there's been two years. So unless you were here pre-COVID, you would have missed when I first designed the board. Okay, cool. All right, I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss that. Okay, well thanks everybody. We'll be doing the shows during the week. We have lots of fun surprises, content we're posting. Thanks for spending your time with us. We very much appreciate it. We're doing this thing together. See you during the week. All right, thanks everybody. We'll have some live shows and I think Scott might be back doing his stream this Friday. Yay. Great.


Hi everyone, this is Gio. Welcome to my channel and welcome to a quick little short video as an introduction for the next 17 videos are going to be loaded on YouTube and the next 17 videos are basically the live stream Monopoly marathon games that we had back in 2018 in this space where our sort of gaming group got together here and we ended up doing two days of playing Monopoly are variant rules that we've talked about right and What we ended up doing was basically live stream the game with a sort of a top view of the board as well as a couple of other views where you can see us sort of the players and How the dealing takes place and stuff like that So there's already three videos available on YouTube all these live streams have been loaded on pitch shoot back in 2018 but the three videos that are available on YouTube are Sort of me letting you know that we do play Monopoly with our gaming group and we do have a variant rule So I sort of talked about with that initial video How we go about playing the game and then we put out a video sort of a top view Showing you the mathematics of the game right because a lot of people have asked me what the best way it is to teach mathematics to kids that are growing up sprite and my reply has basically always been One of the things that I say anyway one of the best ways to learn mathematics to apply mathematics in the real world is to play Games board games specifically right console games computer games and stuff are legit as well But board games are sort of a hands-on way to learn mathematics and Monopoly is a phenomenal way to do it right and sort of that second video we sort of goes through Sort of the mathematics of how to do the calculations and what the dealing involves and whatnot right and the third video you put out for a Monopoly playlist was sort of Me giving you a sort of an introduction just the way I am now and at the end of that video I sort of cut out a few minutes of each of the live streams and put them back to back so you can see a condensed version of how to Game play takes place during those live streams But to get a real feel for it is a it's a good idea to watch the each game from beginning all the way to the end Right and these are rapid Monopoly games that we play we deal out the cars We do a little calculation and as soon as one person the you know as soon as a player can Passes go they're able to build on the sets that they have right But for the details of that you can look at the previous three videos that we have and they're in our Monopoly playlist Okay, and the reason I'm uploading these to YouTube now is because we are sort of Huge chunk of the world is sort of in lockdown mode. There's a pandemic going through Many countries right now right so people are keeping a sort of a physical distance and Everybody's at home and if you're used to playing board games getting together with your board gaming group and stuff like that That's one of the things you must be missing because that is one thing that Me and the rest of our gaming group we've been talking a little bit and we're trying to get a game going online But it's not the same thing when you sit around the board and you You're close proximity to each other and you're talking you're discussing you're arguing you're debating You're you're trying to psych each other out and bluff each other out and whatnot. There's a sort of a Dynamics when there's a whole bunch of people sitting around a table with a central focal point being the board and Everybody's focus is on on the board and how the game is going to be played and you're Keeping close tabs and all the other players. It's it's a beautiful state of being right So that is something that we are missing and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of gamers out there Board gamers out there that you know what I'm talking about, right? So I thought it was a good idea just to load up these videos to YouTube and share those live streams that we had back in 2018 with you just in case you're missing that that action, right? Hopefully this will satisfy That craving even even by the slightest right because I ended up watching a little bit of it And it was just so satisfactory and I thought you guys would enjoy it as well Okay, aside from that we do have the rules for this variant game that we play this rapid monopoly game that we play On our website the three videos are up on YouTube and bit shoot the live streams that we're loading on YouTube right now They are available on bit shoot already, but there is a Link and there will be links in the description of this video taking you to the article where we talk about the rules And we have the tables laid out of how much money each person gets and what gets dealt out Delta and whatnot and all that jazz right and the videos will be archived in that blog post as well if you're interested in taking a look and Figuring out how these variant rules play and when you're able to get together with your gaming group I hope you give it a you give it a go that is a phenomenal game And it's a lot of fun to play Aside from that for the next couple of days two three four days, maybe I'll be loading up these Livestream games Every few hours and I'll be premiering them and for some of them I'll try try to be available in the live chat as well. If not for all of them. We'll see How much I can stay on chat chatting away with people but I'll be premiering these videos on YouTube and I will be available to talk to people live on chat if you're interested in talking about this game and If you do appreciate this content if you do like this content and What we're doing here? We do have a patreon page and patreon is a fantastic way to support this project And I do announce all these videos and the live stream schedules and other things on our patreon post So on our patreon page so you can follow the work there if you you know You can support the work through funds if you like or you can just follow the work and you will get updates whenever we Post whenever I post something new on there, and if you're on YouTube We did get approved for YouTube membership. So there's a little join button on the page and If you do like this work Supporting this work by becoming a YouTube member is a great way to support this project as well Aside from that quick little intro. I hope you enjoy these live stream Monopoly variant rules marathon rapid games Okay, bye for now

So to our agenda, I would tell us about what Pomont Telemetry is, the players involved in the ecosystem. I would also give a broad level of review of the different data sources you can use to collect data if you're interested in getting data from the application using open telemetry. I also mentioned a simple application which would also have an overview of how we could instrument it if we're using a PHP library like Pomont Telemetry and PHP package. And also lastly I would talk about how anyone can get involved contributing to open telemetry. So about me, I am a computer science student at Imose University. I am also a software engineer with Patricia. Currently I am a CNCF and Linux Foundation mentee with open telemetry. I am also a cloud native enthusiast. You can check me out on Twitter with the handbook. I am looking forward to interacting with you after this session on questions you have or probably ideas you have. So for starters, what is open telemetry? So a general overview, open telemetry helps us get insights into our application. So it is a collection of tools, APIs and SDKs that we can use to instrument, generate, collect and export data from within your application. These data you can use for analyses, you can use for problem finding, you can use for tracing, you can use for whatever insights you want to gain from your application. So as I have been one point for getting information from your application, the open telemetry project also seeks to be a vendor agnostic standard for everything open telemetry. So we have the specifications worked on form by the biggest player in telemetry industry trying to have one standard for telemetry. Open telemetry is also a CNCF Sandbox project and it came to be a few years ago when open tracing and open session projects are merged together. So what can you see? Can you see two parts of my screen on one part? Just one part basically and it is getting smaller and smaller. Wow, let me see one again. Probably I could try to share it, do you think that could make it better? Yes, maybe you could try to share. Is it better now or is it the same? It is much better now. But the presentation or the slides isn't too screen-inspirational. Oh, I see. Let me see how it is now. Awesome, awesome. Perfect. Yeah, so sorry for the inconvenience but I hope you haven't been able to laugh at it before now. Yes, yes, the audio is good. Okay, so in terms of the open telemetry ecosystem, the open telemetry project is actually one of the most contributed to projects on CNCF. That's after Kubernetes and it has language support for both Go, Ruby and lots of other languages. So as regards community support, we have support out of the box from cloud providers like Azure, GCP and Amazon Web Services. So if you are on any of these platforms, you can easily get open telemetry out of the box. We also have some vendors that allow you to boot instrument and export your telemetry data to their backends. We have DataDoc, Dynatrace, Monico, Blistep and all of that, definitely for free. And also we also have some persons who use open telemetry as part of the application to kids. We have MailChimp, Shopify and Xelo. Open telemetry also collaborates with other projects both within and outside of the CNCF ecosystem. Projects like Jega, Kubernetes and Kubernetes. So all these projects are around cloud technology, instrumentation, visualization and all of that. So now let's look at a sample architecture for open telemetry. So open telemetry basically looks at treatments, it looks at traces, it looks at metrics and it looks at log. So someone might be asking what is traces? So if you have a distributed system, a trace simply tells you the life cycle of your request from the start to the end point. So let's say you have a microservice for probably an e-commerce website. Definitely you might have services around payments, services around stock, services around delivery. Those represent the different services you have. And the traces simply will give you information around those individual services. So a size trace is given us the information and the context around those services. We also have metrics. Metrics refer to things we can measure. For example, how much traffic is getting to our system and all of that. This can help us to provide the scale our server or to automate some of the processes. And aside from that, we also have the log. So the log is anything that is not covered with either your trace or your metrics. So the sample architecture is if you have an application you want to instrument, you have an entry point. So the open telemetry package provides two things for us. One, it provides an API, an application programming interface, which you can use to interact with the SDK. So the SDK basically performs all the operations we need. Why the API is in charge of interacting with the SDK to give us information to carry out transactions underneath the hood. Interact with the API gets data from the SDK. We go ahead and export that data using any of our visualizations. We could use GOMICS, we could use ZIPKIN or we could use Yeager, depending on anyone you prefer. And since open telemetry is vendor agnostic and packet agnostic, we can export to any of that without having any worries. We have support for all of that. So instrumentation. How can you get insights from your application? We have a distributed system. How can you get insights? Basically two ways. You could go the manual route or you could go the automatic route. So for the manual route, you have to get any of the packages that we have for different languages. Then probably you install the package and go ahead to instrument the behavior you want using the APIs. If you have lots of endpoints, if you have lots of behavior, this can be a little bit serious. So there is also automatic instrumentation where you use an agent. So what the agent does is the agent simply goes to the core of your application, sits there, then retrieves every request and response, then exposes it to any of our visualizers. From there we can be able to compare, to make analysis and see what we can do. So sometimes too we can combine both manual and automatic instrumentation. So currently I think it is only the Java project that has automatic instrumentation. For others we just have manual instrumentation but one of these are moving towards having something automatic. So you can be able to get insights from your application without doing much of the coding just by plugging in the agent that we are using. So let's talk about the manual instrumentation example. Let's say you have a live application which you want to instrument with the open elementary PHP library. How would you go about that? So first things first, you have to create a live application using the necessary commands. Then you go ahead and you require the open elementary PHP package. So definitely when you instrument your application using the APIs and the SDKs which the package gives you by default, you need a way to see the data you are exporting. So you can actually bundle, zepkin, jager, grafana or any other tool that you like or maybe even you can export to any other backend.  Then since you've bundled the visualizers, you can also go ahead and see your expected data. Whether it's your log, whether it's your matrix or it's your trace. So there is a guide there, we don't have time so there won't be any time for demo. But if you follow this link, you'll be able to see how we instrumented a sample, Laravel applications and we are able to get data about the application. So this is how visualizing data from your application looks like if you instrument with the open elementary PHP package and other packages too.  So let's say a request is taking one minute. You can actually go and see which request is that. You can actually see from which of your micro services then you can help the bundle of that and make the whole process better. So finally, I would also want to tell us about contributions to open elementary because the project features different languages, different frameworks and different experience levels. So no matter the language you write, there is something for you in open elementary. No matter the framework and no matter the experience level. And currently most of the projects on open elementary are in beta. Only if you have with general availability. So there is still a lot of work to be done. Also as the last speaker mentioned, the different projects with open elementary offer mentorship. So if you are looking to get mentor, you can take out the CSF mentorship report on GitHub. So frankly, I think the open elementary project is actually very, very important and we can see this by the fact that almost every cloud vendor supports it and they are actually working to have standard specs. So I think persons from Africa should actually come around. We have stuff for docs. We have stuff for code for design. And if you are looking to get started, you can always reach out to me on Twitter. I'll be very happy to show you the way around so you can start contributing. So some resources. I have some resources if you want to look at. It's a good thing for don't miss. You want to look at the resources we have for open elementary or probably you want to see the stats around the open elementary in the CSF ecosystem. So that is just the oversight of how you can get insights for application using the open elementary project. Yeah, Obasi, did you hear me? Also, yeah, I could hear you. Nice. Thanks a lot for presentation. Do you plan on? No, no, no. There is nothing to do for this. Oh, nice. Cool. Thanks a lot for the awesome presentation. And do we see... Of course, if you can also share your slides to the attendees, that will be very much appreciated as well. Yeah, this is the Q&A session. This is the time for Q&A. We have any questions from the base? Please feel free to drop me on the chat session. And when do we see who will be happy to answer any questions you may have in the video that we will give in a minute. Let's see if everyone drops some questions. And if you are also streaming on YouTube, please feel free to also ask your questions on YouTube live chat. And we will be happy to answer any of your questions as well.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss the following questions that save. At the beginning of each quarter, $500 are deposited into a savings account that pays interest at the rate of 12% per annum compounded quarterly. Find the balance in the account at the end of 4 years. Now according to the question the amount is deposited into the savings account at the beginning of each quarter. So this is the case of annuity due. So the amount of annuity due given by A is equal to small a upon I into 1 plus I the whole this whole into 1 plus I whole to the power of n minus 1 the whole. Where this a is the amount of annuity due and the small a is the annual payment each installment small n is the number of periods of annuity then r percent is the rate of interest per period then I which is the interest of $1 for the same period is equal to r upon 100. This is the key idea that we use in this question. Let's now move on to the solution. So in the question it's given that at the beginning of each quarter $500 are deposited and the rate of interest is 12% per annum compounded quarterly and we have to find the balance in the account at the end of 4 years. So this balance would be calculated using this formula for the amount of annuity due. Now we will consider this formula for the amount of annuity due because the payments are made at the beginning of each quarter. So this is the case of annuity due and so this formula would be used. So now let us see what is A which is the annual payment of each installment. According to the question it's $500 so small a is equal to $500. Now the time given is equal to 4 years n which is the number of periods of annuity and also the interest is compounded quarterly so n would be the number of quarters in 4 years which would be equal to 4 into 4 that is 16 so n is equal to 16. Now r percent is given as 12% per annum compounded quarterly so r percent is equal to 12% per annum and so 12 upon 4 which is equal to 3% quarterly. So i would be equal to r upon 100 that is equal to 3 upon 100 which is equal to 0.03. Now the amount of annuity due is given by a equal to small a upon i into 1 plus i the whole into 1 plus i the whole to the power of n minus 1 the whole. Now putting the respective values we get a is equal to small a that is 500 upon i which is 0.03 into 1 plus i that is 1 plus 0.03 the whole and this whole into 1 plus 0.03 which is the value of i this whole to the power of 16 that is n minus 1 the whole. This further gives us a is equal to 500 upon 0.03 into 1.03 this whole into 1.03 to the power of 16 minus 1 the whole. Now the specimen cancels with this decimal so we now have a is equal to 500 into 103 upon 3 into 1.03 to the power of 16 minus 1 the whole. We will now calculate 1.03 to the power of 16 for this we assume let x be equal to 1.03 to the power of 16. So taking log on both sides we have log x is equal to 16 into log of 1.03 from here we get log x is equal to 16 into the value of this log is 0.0128 which gives us log x equal to 0.2048 so x would be equal to the empty log of 0.2048 which is equal to 1.603 this is x that is 1.03 to the power of 16 is 1.603 so now we have a is equal to 500 into 103 that is 103 upon 3 into 1.603 minus 1 the whole which now gives us a equal to 500 into 103 upon 3 into 0.603 now we remove this decimal so here we have upon 1000 these two zero cancels with these two zero and five two times is 10 and 3 201 times is 603 so we get a is equal to 103 into 201 upon 2 which is equal to 20703 upon 2 which gives us 10351.50 does we have a is equal to 10351.50 dollars hence balance in the account at the end of four years is 10351.50 dollars so this is our final answer this completes the session hope you understood the solution of this question


So you want to recreate the gameplay from Flappy Bird. Not a problem. Last month we finished our intro to Unity programming series, so none of the code that I show here will be new. Today I'm just gonna show you how to put together the code you already know. When our player hits the wall and we die, I'm gonna use our basic explosion prefab, which is just a sprite that grows and becomes transparent. And in order to help us hear what we're doing, we're gonna use two basic sound prefabs that will make a noise when we jump and when we successfully pass through an obstacle. Okay, here we go. So if we look at a few videos, the first thing that I noticed is this game constantly only moves in one direction. The obstacles are always the same distance apart and the open in between where you have to go through is always the same distance tall. So let's start there. Here's a basic 3D grid object that I'm gonna use for the floor, and I'm just gonna give it a simple red glow material. And right underneath we'll create a cube and make sure that the collider is set to trigger, add a rigid body without gravity, give it a tag called environment, turn the mesh renderer off, and now we're gonna parent everything to the hitbox and drag it down here to turn it into a prefab, then create a new script and drag it onto our floor. And the only thing that this script has to say is move in the Z direction at this speed and kill yourself after 20 seconds. If we save and run the game now, that is exactly what's gonna happen. Great, now we need to keep sending the environment until the player dies. So let's create an empty object on the other side called sender, create a new script, drag it to the sender, and all this script needs to do is constantly send new environment when the old ones have passed the player. So the script literally just saves every 9.9 seconds, create a new floor at this location, and if we go back into the inspector and drag our floor into the sender and play the game, now you can see that as the old floor destroys itself, new floor is being created constantly to replace it. Okay, that takes care of the environment, now we gotta send the trouble. And we're gonna do it pretty much the same way we send the environment. Let's create a cube, drag a basic red glow material to it, tag it with the environment, set the collider to trigger, give it a rigid body with no gravity, control D to duplicate it, so we have one for the top and one for the bottom, and we'll duplicate it one more time and change the tag to checkpoint. Turn off the renderer and put it in between the walls so we can successfully reward the player for passing through. Parent the whole thing to an empty object, drag our movement script on top, drag it down here to make it a prefab, and now we are ready to send it to the player. So let's create a new script, attach it to the sender, and it's gonna be similar to the environment generator, but instead of sending stuff every 9 seconds, we are gonna send it every 2. Now here's what's different. When sending the floor, we always created it at this location. However, the obstacle should be sent randomly between here and here. Looks like the low is gonna be 0.68 and the high is gonna be around 2. So every 2 seconds, right before it sends an obstacle, it's gonna randomly pick a height between 0.68 and 2, move to that location, and then create the obstacle there. If we save and run the game now, then you will see that we're basically done. All we gotta do now is add controls to our brave main character. So create a new script, drag it to your character, and all this needs to do is constantly move the cube down. In the original game, it looks like the speed of falling increases exponentially.  Out here, we're gonna set the constant negative speed to 0.13, and if we save and run the game now, that's exactly what's gonna happen. But as you can see, it goes through the walls, which obviously is cheating. So to stop that, make sure that the collider is set to trigger. Create a new collision script, drag it onto your hero, and in this script, we're just gonna use the basic collision into code and say if we touch the environment, destroy ourselves, and create the explosion where we died. Otherwise, if we touch the checkpoint, make a checkpoint noise, and you're done. That's literally it. This whole game is six pieces of code, a floor, a wall, death, and two sound effects. Obviously, the next thing you would do is make a GUI so that you can see the score at the top, and you'd probably wanna make a menu to navigate through the game, but I haven't really shown you guys how to do that yet, so we're gonna leave it here.  Again, thank you so much, everyone, and as always, hope you have a fantastic day, and I'll see you around.


Take one, take one, action. Stop picking up the scissors. Julie. Hold on, I'm gonna fall. Just an update on my perm, y'all. Please do not do that. I had my hair soaked in coconut oil for two days and did two treatments of Olaplex just to salvage what was left of my Dorito hair. It's still very permed, but it almost fell off my head completely. So if you're looking for an update, that's it. Summer is coming to an end, and you know, we wanted to do something nice for our son. Good boy, he's a hamster. And we thought, why not give out a great big summer blowout? He deserves it, he's had a hard summer. He deserves it. He's been working hard, he ran probably 400 miles this summer. Especially since the channel Vanilla Ham Ham, where I've gotten most of these things, continues to be the most extra thing on the internet. We already made a couple of tiny things for Ad in the last video, we made him a table, some pancakes, and a couple hats. So we're making our hamster, a carrot cake, a slushie, a picnic table, and a sandbox. What are you doing today? We love him. We're gonna make the table first. Eugh, eugh. Can I trust you with the scissors? Oh, I love cutting off the ends. Can I trust you with it? Yes, you can trust me with the scissors.  Julian, get it all the way to the edge. You airy mess. Don't do that, don't do that. Stop! I swear to God, we're gonna go to the hospital by the end of this video, stop it. Who just gonna hug you? No, you can't do that. It's safe for hamsters. No, it's not. Can I have a glue please? Put your hand out. Put your hand out. Put your hand out like this, and you just go right in there. Hey, nice to meet you. My name is Julian. Nice to meet you. My name is Julian. Nice to meet you. And you just go. So, Julian, stop. Go wash yourself, be nasty, and you need Jesus. No, now I'm not gonna drop anything for the rest of the video. Julian! I need a leash for my Julian, cause he's out of control. Babe, do you know what my astrological sign is? It's called Aries. Yeah, thanks, I'm aware.  What? What if we staple them? No, that's not safe for hamsters. You have to do things cause they're safe, okay? It might take a little extra time, a little extra effort, but it's safe for our son. Do you care? Yeah, baby, I care, I love you. The hamster, when your hands are covered in glue. Correction, you can't drop a hamster when your hands are covered in glue. Gentle with it. I'm inspecting it. Ew. You're obeying codes, and... What are you writing on your hand? Joel Austin is in blood plug. Don't write secrets about Joel Austin on your hand.  That's dangerous. Do not. You're Joel Austin's smut on your hand? Oh my God. We have to let this dry before we can put the benches on, so it might just be a picnic table, and it might be too tall for him. We'll have to see. So we're gonna let this dry, and while this is drying, it's time to start cooking. Are you excited? Yeah, I just saw the recipe, right? It's unbelievable, right? It's the most, it's so incredibly extra. Let's go. Yes. So vanilla ham ham doesn't save it. She just pulls out two little exquisite trays for her carrot cake. I'm gonna make those first. We have to make two matching, identical aluminum foil trays so we can bake our hamster a layer cake. You know what I'm saying? It's perfect. Needs to be exactly the same size, girls. It won't be a good layer cake.  Oh yeah, I love having a son. My name is Jenna, I have a son and a basketball game tomorrow. Exactly the same size. I need to preheat the oven to 180 degrees. J and J's hamster kitchen. 180 is pretty low. Is it even gonna cook? It's pussy. Look at this boy, right here. All right, so we're gonna grate one carrot. One carrot, yeah. I mixed two teaspoons of flour and a drop of oil. You need the water too. Wait, there's water? Yeah. Ain't nothing like mixing two teaspoons of flour with a drop of oil. It's looking lit. All right, half a teaspoon. That's not half a teaspoon. That's not half, are you kidding?    All right. Julia!  No, a falling knife has no handle and I just disobeyed that law. So you caught a falling knife? Yes.  Half the flour is left in the spoon. I need my carrot. Just stop with the more carrot. I don't want any more carrot. Just have one. I have to make sure it's homogenous.  Landmau, be beautiful, how cute. Hold you. What is that? What is that? That was me. 10 minutes in the oven. Now we have some time to talk about how you need to stop it. So for the icing, she was able to find these like white ones and green ones or whatever. At this pet store, they only had strawberry drops so everything's gonna be pink and I also don't have any yogurt.  So the comes out shitty. Don't make fun of me, okay? But it also can't be like gooey because he can't have anything squishy and sticky in his pouch. So we have to let it dry which is why we're doing it now before we decorate his sandpit so that it's nice and dry. So it's not gooey in his pouch. Oh my God, this is gonna be so good for my basketball game tomorrow. They don't look all like cooked like hers. Wait, is 180 degrees like some Celsius? No, it's just that harder, a little thicker I think. Name something you're proud of Ad for. The other day he got out of his wheel and he looked up at me when I was walking by but pretty incredible. Yeah, now you're gonna cut the cucumber but you keep the skin separate from the flesh. Oh boy. We couldn't find a little plastic slushy thing like vanilla ham ham had. So we figured we could just feed him out of this little trough. He's a troughy guy.    I can't mash this.  She like literally does the impossible on her channel.  Beep beep beep. Oh my God. He moved me with some cucumber, beep beep. How is that you? She just put a cucumber in the blender. Okay, so heads up.  We've been baking our cake at 180 degrees forever now and it's never gonna bake. It's definitely 350 degrees so we'll be done soon. It's not exactly perfect but we tried our best to stripe it. Ooh, here comes the cherry. He's gonna take like not even a bite of that and he'll be very unimpressed. This looks so much effort. Oh my God. You know what?    For fuck's sake. These have taken like an hour. Vanilla ham ham girl you did not show the life struggles that happen when you make this tiny cake. This is the blood bath. This looks like nasty. Girl, ew.   It's pretty cute. I'm hungry. What's up in the fridge and you get a snare? What? It's sand pit time. Bringing the sand pit. Those of you that are concerned don't worry we got play sand it's safe for children and babies and hamsters. Oh! Here we go BB. In order to make him feel special we're gonna decorate his sand pit.  No. Really? No, because you're me. You're like the same way. I like to be weird too. Aw. But I mean this shit's ridiculous. Is it though? I feel like it's necessary. 10 times better already.  It's looking pretty festive. Obviously Ad can't touch like most of the stuff in here but we'll supervise him.  This is still like sticky. We put it in the freezer but I'm nervous cause they're not supposed to have sticky in their pouch. So worst case scenario is that we have to make another little carrot cake without icing which was annoying but at least we know what temperature to bake it at. We're gonna wait till Ad wakes up anyway. Yeah we'll see when Ad wakes up. So it's been a little while and this still feels like really sticky. I think maybe because we added water so it's not dry enough.  I think I'm just gonna make another little cake without icing. I fail. I'm sorry. I'm trying my best. I have a basketball game tomorrow. Get ready for it. But I don't want Ad to get anything sticky in his mouth though. All right, I'll be back.  But this one actually came out a little better than the first one. Because I baked it at the correct temperature the first time. So yeah, okay, it's a really cool frosting. But guess what? Today I've learned that just because Vanilla ham ham can do it doesn't mean you can, okay? I learned the hard way.  Did you get that at Toy Story House? Maybe. You got that at the Toy Story? Actually no. You got it at Toy Story House. He's already awake and has gone potty. Look what we did. Good morning. Good morning. Some carrot cake or some cucumber sundae? What do you think?  Up your slide. Mommy baked you not one but two carrot cakes.  Go to the food, dog. Oh my God. There's treats in there, yeah. Oh, just checking it out.  Like he does not know or care. Whoa, there he goes.  Because I made it for you. He likes the carrot cake. Oh, he likes it. You like the carrot cake? Isn't it good? Oh my God. Oh my God, he's going at it. God, Ed. Where, Ed? There's also a delicious sundae in a big, tiny carrot cake. Leave me alone. In a trough over here. See, Julian, all those hours of baking a tiny cake, isn't this worth it? Dude, he's furious about this thing. Are you having a good summer out? I keep like breathing and laughing and blowing his fur. And I'm like. I saw it that time. Oh, the carrot.   Nope, over the carrot. He's back to the dessert. Back to the carrot. Oh, that one went to that one to the cheek. That's the cheek for later. I swear to God. He ate the whole carrot. He put the whole thing in his cheek. All at once. He's eating his sundae. Oh, I like it. Please eat it.  Yeah, I was the hardest cucumber I've ever prepared. Wait, so he just walked around with a whole carrot in his mouth? It is cheek, I think, yeah. It looked like he put it right in his cheek.  Hey, Ed. Okay, I don't know about that. Oh, he's getting a little wild. I think it's because he wants to take his carrot back home. Don't go near the lights. It's for decoration, Ed. Hey. Ed, Ed. Why can't you just enjoy what you're in? You're just always trying to get out. Live in the moment, Ed. He's turning on the jets.  Go that way. It's fun. You'll like it.  He's like real violent about it. Oh my God. Well, so far the carrot cake is a 10 out of 10. This cucumber slushie, zero.  I'm so happy.  Look at that. This is going from good to bad. Oh, God. Oh, no! Ed! Here, have some slush. Doesn't look like it.  Well, you know what?  He's a simple man with simple needs.  I just want to run on my wheel and run away.  Oh, there he goes. It's really good.  You're happy and calm when I'm holding you, but when you're in a pit of fun, you just can't handle it?  I know. Don't we all, Ed? All right, well, I guess that's it.  And make sure you subscribe to my channel. I put on your views every Wednesday slash Thursday. Not quite a success, but not quite a failure. So, sounds a lot like my life. Say goodbye, bud. Sure you don't want one more try? One more try. Shit. Oh, my God. Damn!


This tiny little store has over one billion seeds inside. That's enough for every U.S. American to grow some food.  They aren't only selling seeds, but they're actually providing seeds so their customers never have to come back. By teaching their customers how to save seeds. Seed saving is a common practice that has been going on for thousands of years. But today, big ag companies are trying to control the seeds. They have created and patented GMO seeds, making it illegal and bullying farmers to not save their seeds. Many farmers and gardeners are now forced to buy new seeds year after year. This increases company profit, but steals power from the people. So what can we do about it? Buy open pollinated and heirloom seeds. Here at So True Seed, they carry a variety of over 500 different vegetables, herbs, flowers, and fruit. All of which are open pollinated and heirloom. Which means when you save these seeds, you'll get the same variety year after year. This way, every gardener and every farmer only needs to buy each variety once. Just one trip to the seed store and you will be on your way to seed self-sufficiency. This store is working hard to save the seed because the more seeds we save, the more healthy food we have access to. So stop wasting your money on GMO seeds and start saving your money by saving seeds. And soon enough, you'll have an abundance of seeds to share with everyone in your community.
