This is Think Tech Hawaii, Community Matters here. Aloha! How are you doing? Gordon O'Donnell here. Welcome to another exciting and thrilling episode if you're about to talk. Grab yourself a libation, pull up a chair, sit down, and we're going to talk about Lava 1 2018 with our guest, Chris Thelinger. My co-host for at least this week, and then the wandering guy who's done it again. I'm on a short leash over here. Andrew the security guy. Hello, everybody. This is going to be interesting. So we're going to talk about a conference that you're putting on that you're organizing and you get to experience what it's like to put on one in Hawaii, which is a kind of a rude awakening in some ways, but I personally think it's a great idea, and Java, it's not just a cup of coffee, it's talking about this Java conference you're putting on next week, and we'll get a little bit more into that, but what we like to do first is get a little bit of background on it, I guess, like where you're from, where did you go to school. Social security number. Yeah. So I was born in Austria, so I'm from Austria, I grew up in Austria, and luckily I went to college in Austria, which is free. Free. Yes. Free 99. That's a best kind. So I was studying in Vienna computer science, so I have a master's degree in computer science, and at the university I got into compiler technology. So I'm a compiler engineer. I write compilers. Oh okay. So it translates. So it's code into, yes. I used to write in assembler. Oh, there you go. Way back in the day. Yeah, I do, I do chit compilers, so basically we take Java bytecode and translate it into native code immediately. Oh wow. So that's what I did. So I got into this at the university, and I was working on a research JVM, a Java virtual machine at that time, and then I was going to this conference, which I'm actually going to in the beginning of February this year again, it's like this annual meeting of re-software people in Belgium, it's called FOSTA, and so I went to this conference back in the day, presenting what we were doing at the university, and at some point it was 2006 or 2007, I think, Sun Microsystems open source Java. Right. And so suddenly Sun Microsystems people showed up at the conference, because suddenly they were part of the open source community before we hated each other. Yeah, there's been a lot of conversations, boy, C-sharp, but all kinds of things. Right, exactly. So I was in the GNU GlassPath group, and then there was, I don't know if you remember that, there was Apache Harmony, it was TPL versus Apache Harmony. And then I met a few people, Sun Microsystems people, and then one day I was looking for a job, and I contacted this one guy, and they were just looking for a compelling engineer, and so that's how I ended up working for Sun Microsystems. Okay, but how'd you end up in Hawaii? Right. You know, Austria to Hawaii, I know you came here for the skiing, it's obvious, but yeah. Nice. Have you seen the videos of people snowboarding on Manukaea? Oh yeah, oh yeah, I live an hour and 15 minutes from Manukaea. Oh, there you go, yeah. So, it's fun. It's fun. So, yeah, so, and we got a ton of snow up there right now, we have a boat motor. Oh yeah. Austria. Yeah, probably, yeah. There was not a lot of snow last week when I was there now. So, again, what gives you to Hawaii? Right, so I worked for Sun Microsystems in Austria remotely, and at that time we had a compiler team with like five or six people or something like this, and everyone else was on the west coast of the U.S., only me in Europe, which is a nine-hour time difference. So, you know, you finish your work day at five or six p.m., and then suddenly people wake up on the west coast and send you emails. Because they want to work. So, okay, I did this for a few years, but then I said, okay, I can't do this anymore. So, I relocated to the Bay Area, and that was at the time when Oracle acquired Sun. Okay, and you were still with Sun at the same time? Yes. Okay. And then, Oracle, they had acquired BEA before, and then suddenly we had more people in Europe because they were all in Stockholm than on the west coast. You know, but I was already in the Bay Area. So, you were writing Oracle-based apps at the time, or Sun-based apps or machine code? Um, I was always on the compiler team. So, I was always on the compiler team. I work on the Java Virtual Machine directly. I don't do applications. No app dev.  No, no, no. There's all kinds. Somebody has to make them work. Yeah. No, there's a... And that's not true, but there's this decent amount of people, let's put it this way, not too many that do Java the language. You know, they write the Java Virtual Machine. You have the compiler team. You have the garage collector team and the runtime team. So, all the stuff that you're doing is in this layer and then the application developer layer, those guys and girls are on this side. Yeah. Because I grew up in this piece in your space. Yeah, me too. Yeah. So, this is the space I came up with. That's a cool space, yeah. Yeah. So, these are the cool people, that's where the really deep people are. Yeah. So, it's probably at Sun, Oracle, I don't know, between 100 and 200 people, I don't know, you know, people that write the Virtual Machine and then people who write the core libraries, like the Java code of the API. And then you have millions of people that use Java, right? That's how it works. Sure. So, we built the platform. I don't work... Oh, yeah. I don't work for Oracle anymore. So, you're working on your own? No. I think there's a lot of Java coding sweatshops here. In Honolulu. Yeah, that's true. I work for Twitter now. Oh, okay. They had Donald Trump for me. I was told to not answer questions. I just said say hi. Yeah, I can do that. You can do that too. Yeah, I will. So, I work for Twitter now and there are a few companies remotely, obviously. Right, right. I'm the only engineer as far as I know, or maybe the only employee in Hawaii right now for Twitter, but they wanted me and so they said, oh, yeah, you can be in Hawaii. You can be in Hawaii. And their office is what? Downtown San Francisco, right? Yes. Market Street. Market Street, right near Huala. Oh, yeah. So, we have a friend that was also on the show that has an app development company that are just around the corner from where you guys are located. Well, that's cool. You get to work remotely from Twitter. Yeah. We have an interesting... The guy I got to get you to meet his name is Aaron Nakaoka. He was the first Twitter account in Hawaii. Oh. And what he did when Twitter first came out, he got all these domain names that he had to get back. Oh, is he registered? He registered an outload of them. Well, we still haven't figured out how he got here. I see how you got to the Bay. Yes. True. Right. So, I moved to the Bay area and... He was on track here. Sorry, I know. So, I moved to the Bay area. I lived one year in San Jose, which is, you know, back in... At that time, all the Chava people were in Santa Clara at the old Sun Campus. It was now Oracle, but it was still like... It was like, like, sometimes it was not much different. So, I lived one year there, realized, I don't like the Bay area. I think it's only Work Sleep, Work Sleep, where it does it. Wow. Wow. And then... Culture. I relocated to Santa Cruz, which is over the hill. Sure. That was nice. So, I started surfing. Wow. You know, super hard as an Austrian to surf. I was wondering if we were going to hear that at some point. Yeah. So, I started surfing. Not the surfing bug. Good for you.  It's like the fog all the time. Freezing cold. Yeah. And then one day, we actually went to Fiji to surf, but we stopped two, three days here on the North Shore. That's nice. Ah. And then... Oh, lo and behold, where the conference might be on the North Shore. Yes. Which we'll debate you about that. You got to hang her out and hang on the fair. Right. So, that's how I ended up. It then took me a little bit to convince Oracle at that time to let me relocate, because I was in the Bay Area, right? Sure. There was nothing in the... And they were getting 20 hours a day out of you. It was easy, right? Yeah. And then, that's basically where the story kind of starts. Why I'm doing this conference is because it was very difficult to get here.  Right. You tell them, I want to relocate. Usually, companies... That's not true. Some companies don't have an issue with that. Right.  Yeah, you work from home. Right. And if you say, I don't know, I want to relocate to... I don't want to put any states down here. But you said you're from... Yeah, Kentucky. Yeah. So, if you say, I want to move to Kentucky. Yeah, cool. Yeah, good luck. Why? They say why. Right. But no one has an issue with that, right? Yeah. You say, okay, you relocate there or you work from there. Sure. If you say you want to move to Hawaii... It's a whole different story. Yes, guess what happens. And so... So, how difficult was that? Did it take a while? Oh, that's why he's on Twitter. Did it take him a while to bite off? So, I made it work. Oracle let me go, but it took a long time. I bet. And then it was... You know, people heard of it. They got jealous. You know, all that stuff. Wow. And it's just to... And knowing that just because of the name and people... Right. And the activities... Let's put it this way. People associated with the place. Like Hawaii over. Vacation. Like all the time. Sure. Like no one here works. Right, no one works. And you work 20 hours a day here. I mean... I don't, but... Yeah. Consultants that come in from the mainland, they're trying to do BizDev here, and I have clients like that. They go, you guys don't stop. You know, it's like... We're up at 5, 6 in the morning, and we don't stop until 9 o'clock at night.  And they're going, well, everybody's just like R&R. No, it isn't. So when you got here, oh, the treasure trove of Java developers must have been just sold. He was probably the only one. But he's working on the compiling side too. So even more obscure. So there's not a lot of dev shops in Hawaii that are focused in Hawaii that do work in Hawaii. Huala was the one that only went I know of. Yeah, I don't know. Russell, you know Russell? Russell, yeah. Yeah, because he does his own dev work here. Right. He's done one pump. He does the cryptocurrency point of sale system. Yeah, he was on the show. So he was on the show. But there's not a lot, right? No, there's not. I hope they are more than I know of. So that they come to the conference. Yeah, right. Yeah, that's one of the reasons, right? I wanted to do a conference for the local people. So I mean, that's probably not true, but there are many, many other U.S. states where you have conferences. Sure. Java conferences and all that. Yeah, international. They're all over the globe. Exactly. But you have to, you know, it's, I don't know, if you live in California and there's a conference in Washington, yeah, you hop on the plane and you fly an hour and you're there. But going from here somewhere, it's kind of, you know. It's a hoff. It's a little bit of a hoff. It first hop over the pond. It's five hours, six hours, you know, every time. Yeah, well you're going to be on bite marks later today with Bert Lum and Arayna Zawa. And they're very much, you know, they're very much involved into the side of the industry that you're focused on. So they understand it very well. They've got a lot of contacts in that space. So that's good that you're going to be there because you're going to be also promoting this conference, which we should get into. So what is it? So just give us an overview. We're going to take a break in about three minutes, but just give us an overview of what it is. So I wanted to do it. I called it a Java conference because that's what I know. I usually go to Java conferences. I'm a speaker myself. I go to a lot of conferences and speak about the stuff we do. But it really is a conference about the JVM. Java Virtual Machine. Right. Because you have more than the Java programming language, there are more languages that run on top of the JVM. You have, I don't know, Scala is, I think, the most popular example. And then you have other stuff. You can run JVM. Oh, yeah. You have the JVM system. What do you do for Twitter? Do they run stuff on it as well? So, yes. So Twitter, the reason why, Twitter has its own VM team. Okay. It's not very big, but we have one to make sure that Twitter runs well. I see. So we have three GC engineers to just make sure that all the services, we run microservices, right? They are basically all written in Scala. Okay. And they make sure there are no GC issues. People usually have GC issues. Nice. By GC issue, you mean? Garbage collector. Okay. Garbage collector. Yeah. And they wanted a compiler guy to look into that as well. That's why they hired me. Interesting. So we just make sure that... It's clean and pretty. And it works well for... It runs well, yeah. So my job there is... That's awesome. To run Twitter services more efficiently. Okay. I have a talk about this. It's on YouTube. You can look it up. We'll go check it out there. So like when you say less CPU power. Less CPU power. Yeah. So less CPU saving a lot of money. When you compile, is that how you can see it from what you compile as a kick out air? So all of these routines aren't good or what's the... How do you help it? Right. So the... Okay. Are we ready? Yeah. We're ready. You've got to take a break. Break time. I yelled that from the booth in there. I yelled that? No. Not yet. Not yet. I like this stuff. Yeah. Andrew, the security guard. Chris. And Java 1, Lava 1. Right. Lava 1. Lava 1. Talking about this conference is coming up next week. Monday, Tuesday, yes. Monday, Tuesday. So we'll get into that in a few minutes. We'll be back in a minute. This is Think Tech Hawaii. Raising public awareness. Some plans are made with responsibility in mind. Celebrations are underway. Ready for kick off. MLS clubs and our supporters rise to the challenge. We make responsible decisions while we cheer on our heroes and toast their success. Elevate your match day experience. If you drink, never drive. I'm Helen Dora Hayden, the host of Voice of the Veteran. Seen here live every Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. on Think Tech Hawaii. As a fellow veteran and veterans advocate with over 23 years experience serving veterans, active duty and family members, I hope to educate everyone on benefits and accessibility services by inviting professionals in the field to appear on the show. In addition, I hope to plan on inviting guest veterans to talk about their concerns and possibly offer solutions. As we navigate and work together through issues, we can all benefit. Please join me every Thursday at 1 p.m. for the Voice of the Veteran. Hello. Hey, hello, everybody, and welcome back to Think Tech Hawaii. This is Abachi Tauke. I'm a new security guy, and I just wanted to remind you guys about the NIP sector, the National Infrastructure Protection Plan. We had some questions come up this week from some of the sectors, and a lot of the security requirements that you need to pay attention to or have been detailed for you by Department of Homeland Security. There's a great website there, so look up NIP sector, NIPP sectors. Go in there, find your sector, and find out what things you need to do if you're looking for some stuff to work on this year to improve the security posture of your organization. All right, we've got Angus in here from the beach. Angus, what's going on, buddy? How are you doing there, lad? Good to see you, man. Good to see you there, Chris. Oh, my God, I knew it. My father, he had a wee phrase about Austria, since he knew it from Austria. It's how he remembered his geography when he was going to school. He said, if Austria was hungry and took a little bit of Turkey, they could dip it in Greece. How do you get all the countries that are close to each other? How do you remember where they were? Nice. Anyway, I tried to be thematic here, so I tried to come up with a wee Java joke. All right. I got a wee Java joke. So here's the question. Why did Java programmers wear glasses? Why? Well, I don't know. Because they cannot see sharp. Oh, come on. I'm leading a geeky guys to get this. Oh, my God. I'm leading a geeky guys to get this. They cannot see sharp. Oh, my God. They cannot see sharp. So there's a boo. The Java purist. There's this boo. Anyway, that's my joke for the day. Thank you. And every segment at the end of every segment, let you ingame free where area B. Hello. The Java guys are pure, man. They cannot see sharp. Nice stuff from Angus. Good joke. Keeping us on theme. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're here with Chris Daylanger. We're going to talk about an upcoming Java event that you should all know about. And Gordo's back. All right. So tell us about level one. So tell us about, you know, level one. Right. And what you, uh, what, uh, well, just tell us about level one first. Right. Yeah. Because as I said, it was difficult to come here, right? And the idea was early last year, I had the idea of doing a conference here. I talked to, he's one of our speakers as well. Charlie Nutter. He's, he's doing JRuby, the JRuby implementation. And so he's going to a lot of conferences and, and he said there used to be a Ruby con, like he said once. Ruby on Rails? Not Ruby on Rails, but he said there was a Ruby conference in, in Waikiki once. Okay. And he, uh, it would, it, one guy made it. He, he lived here. Right. He said, oh, I'm doing a Ruby conference and it only happened once because he moved away. Right. So that's, that's what happened. And then I thought, you know, we should really do some Java stuff here. Um, and I was, you know, Googling, is there anything, is there maybe a Java users group? No. I think there was one at some point, but there is not. Are they teaching Java currently at, at the, on the campuses here? They are. I hope so. Okay. They are teaching on a number of the campus. Are they interested or something like that? They don't have a lot of funding to have a, have a presence that's findable, right? And so I thought, um, you know, we should do a Java-related, you know, conference. Sure.  Right. And, um, and then I thought, okay, you know, let's pick a time of the year where people would be willing to come, which is January, right? Yeah, great. Good choice. Yeah. It's easy to pull them off the magnet out to Hawaii for IG. So I did that. I created a Twitter account for the conference. It's if you go on twitter.com and it's lava one con, but if you type in lava one, you'll find it. Okay. Um, and then, you know, it went from there. Nice. I, I knew some of the speakers already. And so I, I said, who wants to come and speak. And they were all, yeah, of course, right? Of course. It's Hawaii. Yeah. The company pays for their travel. So they, they don't care. So I have a really good lineup of speakers. They sure do. Um, some really good. Some of these are big names in the industry, right? I know nothing about spring. So I'm actually excited to hear about that stuff. And then I have Charlie come as well. As I said, J Ruby guy. Nice. I have some Oracle people come. Um, you know, Sherrod's coming. And then Mike Dugu, he, I think he's, oh, did he, no, he's still a liquid robotics. Oh, wow. You know where James Gosling used to, he's now gone, but he, he works at that. And they have the, the research laboratory on the big island. Uh, on, on Maui. No, big island. No, on Nila. Nila, where's the research? It's like close to Kona. Yeah. It's right outside of Kona. Yeah. Yeah. Where they do their robot, whatever. Yeah. So he's coming out. I have two women come out, talk about women and technology and things like that. We used to go along that theme with this show too. Why there's not enough women in this business. Yeah. So we have that. Um, all of this stuff will be streamed by Steve. He has a, uh, a Twitter handle called night hacking. So all of the sessions will be streamed live from Periscope. That's awesome. Oh, that's terrific. And it's an advanced conference. And especially like some people who can't be in Hawaii. Right. Can watch it. Yeah. Exactly. It's good stuff. So, and that's free. And you still got some seats. That's free. Yeah. Free stream. They should still come by. Yeah. Yeah. Because you can't, it's the, it's the, uh, the lectures or the, the speakers is one thing, but the conversation and the events and all the snoozing and network events because we're a ton of the knowledge transfer. Exactly. Yes. That's true.  I, I made it as cheap as I could so that people actually come. It's, it's a two day conference. I have 12 sessions. Awesome. Um, So it's Monday and Tuesday of next week. And where, where is it at? Is that a unique location? Yeah. Well, yeah. It's like a location. I know it's, it's the courtyard in Laia. The brand, the new one. So I'll call it the brand new one. Awesome. They, they, um, the Marriott got that hotel. That old hotel. Old hotel. They renovated it. Yeah. And I have not been there since they renovated it. So It's a courtyard. And it's a courtyard by Marriott. You should come out. I should come out. I know. I wish I had thought about this earlier. Um, but so, and that's a great location. Yes. So it's affordable. It is affordable, right? That, that was one reason. Um, at one point I thought maybe it was a, it was a mistake to make it that far away from Honolulu. Ah, I think it's a good idea. Yeah. I don't know. We'll see. Um, some people signed up not, not too many. Um, one thing I wanted to do, and that's, you know, why I'm doing this conference is I will, I will. Students that have a valid student ID. Right. They can come for free. Well, so there you go. Yeah. They don't get food, but they can come for free. I mean, you should actually try to get the word out to uh, Kuhuku. Um, high school out there. Yeah. Um, to, um. My neighbor, she's a teacher there. I have to talk to her again. Talk to her. Yes. Then I get her to do it. David Stevens. I just sent it to him. Yeah. David, he's a professor at ACC. Yeah. And also, and so, and he, and all the hats, kids. So I'll send, I'll get this out there. I don't, I don't know. There's a, there's some, I don't know how many of them do coding. Some of them are, a lot of them are in cyber, but there may be some, some interest there. They are not peripheral interest, right? Everybody's, you know, if there's technology going on here, people like to know about it. They may not, they may not, they may just come to hear what's, you know, the future. Yeah. Where we're headed. I mean, yeah, it's, it's all about David is talking about, I can't pronounce his last name. I'm sorry. But David, he's French. De la Basse. De la Basse. Nice. He's talking about this new project fn.oracle came out with. I don't even know what it is, but it's new stuff, right? Another guy, he's talking about JUnit 5. Wow. Right? It's the new JUnit to write tests and it's fine. I haven't used 5 for myself. Wow. So this is cutting it. Yeah. This is all cutting in stuff in Hawaii. Very good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Department of, I think a d-bed. I mean, the governor announced 80,000 new tech jobs paying $80,000 a year or more by the year. For the state. 20 or 30 years. So are they, does the state have its own job and stuff that it needs to do? Not that I'm aware of. I mean, if they, because they buy apps, they don't develop. Oh, so it's not like a development team. Yeah. They're not really a development team. There may be some cities, as may have a few too, but again, it's not, they're not, there's not a development that goes on out here unless you're doing it remotely for somebody. Right. Interesting. But again, they're teaching it in the schools and all these, all these young adults are coming out of school and where are they going to go? If they, if they like what you're doing. Yeah. They, it's hard for them to do it here. Right, right. They're going to have to go somewhere on the mainland and do it there and then hopefully they'll be able to get relocated back with that company here. Yeah. But it sounds interesting that, so apparently you need this, this Java functionality for a lot of different things. Yes. You know, so it's a lot of use cases for it out there. Millions of people are using it all the time. The whole world runs on Java. So everything's running. Everything's running on Java. Everybody thinks it's all running on Microsoft and VMware. Yeah. So if you. It isn't. All your money and all your stocks are running on Java. On Java. Everything. It's like, as soon as, you know, there are a lot of new languages popping up. Sure. You know, whatever, go and you name it and Python, all these machine learning stuff is not written in Python. And when new companies, you know, startup companies come up, they write their stuff in the language they like. Like the first engineers they had, oh, I like language A, so we write everything in language A. I see. That's how it usually starts. Right. And then at some point when companies get big, they realize, oh, we don't scale. And then they have to go somewhere else. And usually what happens is they move on the JVM. It doesn't necessarily have to be Java. Like in the case of Twitter, it's Scala. But they move on the JVM because the JVM gives you the scalability for free. I see. Right. For free. And that's the key. It's free 99. Yeah. And so. Was that a conscious decision? That's open source. Or oh, so it was, that was always open sourced. Well, not always open sourced. Yeah. It was like 2006. That's pretty smart. I see. Pretty smart. Yeah. So what are you hoping the takeaways are for those that are attending the conference? What do you hope they get from being there? I mean, they're going to hear a lot of state-of-the-art stuff. Yeah. Right. Some visionary things as well. Yeah. So besides that, to get the newest information, what do you just say? Basically, it's like there are not enough chops here and then people graduate and they move to California and what not. I met a guy, like a young guy on the plane once between you know San Francisco and the U.S. And that was his story, right? He graduated here and then he moved away. Right.  And so if you, you know, it would be great to have a Java users group so that people come together and so I'm trying to do that, too. It's a little bit of a challenge. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think you should do that, too. It's a little difficult, but so the conference should be a sign of, oh, people live and work here. And yeah. A sign of life. There are some new opportunities.  Right. But this is new opportunities within that space that no one's jumping on here in Hawaii. They really don't see any of this. And there may be remote working opportunities for them as well. You bet. I imagine if you're new to it, you need a little more space. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. But if you're doing work in New York City and you're doing work in Japan, you can do it in a single business day from Hawaii. That's one of the keys to remember. So you can live, work, and play in Kapolei. Right. But you can do it from both locations. So it's a 12-hour work day? Yeah. That's 12 hours? No. Is it 12 hours? Yeah. Anyway, so again, where's the conference? Where it is? The conference? Yeah. The conference is 15th and 16th. Monday, Tuesday, coming Monday, Tuesday. It will be at the courtyard in Laia. Okay. And the website? Yeah. Well, that's... I didn't buy, like, the main name. So you have to go to Twitter and type in lovable1con. And then that'll click on the link. And then there is a link to the website that tells you where... Yeah. You can buy a ticket or get a student ticket for free. You see... And I found it by Googling just lovable1con. Oh, perfect. Yeah. Yeah. It's getting some traction. Yeah. You see the agenda? Yeah. And the event information comes right out. The conference starts at 8th and there's breakfast. The sessions start at 9 and go until 4. Yeah. And I encourage you.  If you're available Monday and Tuesday or one or the other, go out there and meet the speakers and find out what's happening in this space. You may get an idea for a future job that you want to do or business you want to start here in Hawaii. It's working for Chris. Chris, thanks for coming from Austria by the way. That's awesome. We give every one of our guests an autograph solo cup. You've got number 146 in the series. Cool. All right. Thank you so much. You can put all your Java pens in it or whatever. Yeah, I'll do that. So anyway, we want to thank you for joining us and I'll keep in touch with you. We'll find out how it went. Yes.  So those of you that are driving in, you can list the bite mics and find out more. You might even be on some of the shows this evening. Anyway, pleasure having you here on the show. Thank you all for listening to and watching Hibachi talk here on Think Tech. And like we say at the end of every show, one, two, three, how are you doing? Oh, how are you doing? I forgot. I love it. Good job. Thank you. Thank you. Very informative.


Very good morning, everyone. I am Dr. Sifu Khan, second year post-graduate student in the Department of Radio Diagnosis, NRS Medical College and Hospital. And today I'm going to present my paper on diastematomylia, which I have done under my co-authors, my associate professor Dr. Sudhita Basu and my senior resident Dr. Suparna Sange. So, starting with introduction, it's basically diastematomylia is also known as a split cord malformation where it refers to a type of spinal dysgraphism, spina bifida occulta type where there is a longitudinal split in the spinal cord. And sagittal division of the spinal cord into two hemicords each with one central canal dorsal horn and ventral horn is there. So congenital abnormality, which basically accounts for around 5% of all congenital spinal defects. And clinical presentation, basically the majority of the patients are symptomatic and they present with the signs and symptoms of t-third cord, including leg weakness, low back pain, scoliosis, incontinence, and they also have associated abnormalities like meningo, ceil, dermoid, cyst club foot spinal cord lipoma, neuroendric cyst. Then 90% of the patients are females, 90% of t-third cord and 100% have spina bifida. Coming on to the pathology, the condition is believed to occur during the gastrolation stage of development due to abnormal movement and separation of the precursor cells. Specifically, it has been thought that a persistent or abnormalization between the ectoderm and the endoderm creates an additional neuroendric canal, which in turn leads to notocard developing into the two hemicords. An important differential diagnosis is the duplicated spinal cord, also known as diplomylia. Now, there are basically two types. Type one, which has a duplicated durol sac with common midline spur and type two, which has only a single durol sac and impairment would be less marked in type two. Type one, if we see the classical diastomatomylia characterized by duplicated durol sac, hydromylia midline spur, which could be osteosciences, fibros, osteocartilaginous, vertebral abnormalities like spina bifida is very common, hemi vertebrae, vertebrae and skin pigmentation could also be there like hypertricosis, which is hair patch, they are very common. And patients are usually symptomatic, they might have scoliosis and tethered cord syndrome. Type two, which is milder than type one. So there is only single durol sac as you can see in the picture and there's no spur in between and hydromylia may be present, spina bifida may be present. And patients are going to be less symptomatic. The cord splitting, which occurs between L1 and L3 and 50% of the cases and T1 and T12 and 25% of the cases. Now this basically is a 10 days old neonate which presented to the department of pediatrics and with a large swelling and tuft of hair on the back and cleft lip and palate was also there. As you can see in the picture. So extra was done at the level of the D12 to L4 spina bifida was noted with a widened interpedicular distance as visible. And MRI scan was done, there's loss of lumbar curvature and the spinal cord is low line and attached to the posterioris defect and at that level evidence of dastromyla was also there. And the axial T2 image you can see the splitting of the spinal cord into two symmetric hemicords and traversing around the large osteospera which is the prominent osteospera which classifies it as type one dastromyla. Then T1 sagittal image is given and coronal sterimage showing the division of the cord. MRI was basically reported as evidence of spina bifida which was seen involving the lower dorsal and the adjacent lumbar segment spinal cord is averting and opening through the posterioris defect into a cystic swelling which is suggestive of myelomaningo, still loss of lumbar curvature is there and spinal cord is low lying and attached to the posterioris defect syringes was also there but as such CV junction was normal no cerebellar abnormality was there. So, if you see the antinatal ultrasound in such patients the presence of an extra ecogenic focus in the midline between the fetal spine posteriori elements has been described as a reliable science. And plain radiograph you might see multiple spina bifida level widening of interpedentcular distance scoliosis. And clinically what is important is that you might see some cutaneous tigmeta which indicates the dastromyla level in more than 50% of the cases and fontail which is seen in the picture. Then, radiographic findings you might see the level of the lower cord where basically spinal cord malformations are more common and occurring between the level L1 and L3 in 50% of the cases and 25% in between T7 and T12 and spina bifida butterfly or hemi vertebrae might also be there CT is able to better image many of the features, but MRI is the modality of choice for assessing the children with split cord malformations as well as being able to elegantly demonstrate the cord and presence of hydromyla it can also assess for the presence of numerous associated abnormalities.

Executive Director for the United Nations' World Food Program, David Beasley, has said that Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which Moscow describes as a special military operation, has led to a sudden crunch and a food crisis that was already in the offhand. Beasley, in an interview in Devils, said that the number of people marching to starvation has risen from 80 million to 276 million over the last four to five years. If other explained that to keep the port closed as the harvest season is now coming in Ukraine in July and August, means a declaration of war and global food supply. I think there's an extraordinary awakening of the reality that we're facing that truly is a global food crisis. I haven't seen that before. Last year I was trying to tell everybody in the different settings that we've got problems, we've got problems, but no one seemed to want to focus. Now everyone's beginning to give it the attention that it needs because the consequences, if you don't, are going to be. To keep the ports closed as the harvest season is now coming in Ukraine in July and August, it means a declaration of war on global food security. If you can't get the food out the fields, I mean, Ukraine grows enough food to feed 400 million people. In a time on planet Earth where we're facing extraordinary food crises before Ukraine, fuel costs, commodity prices, shipping costs, we're already doubling, tripling, quadrupling.

The following is a presentation of TFNN. Trade, what you see, with Larry Pezzavento. Call now, toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, Larry Pezzavento. Okay, looking good, Billy Ray feeling good, Lewis. We're going to take a look here. This is the Dow Jones, folks. We've got history being made today. You can see here that we're at a 1.628 expansion right up in here at 37,980. We're trading at 37,992. We're up eight, nine weeks in a row, nine days in a row, 12 days in a row, 13 days in a row, whatever happens to be, that's where we are. You'll notice we have another large ABCD from the October low from last year, folks. When the Dow was trading at 2850, you can see the ABCD pattern measures at 37,900. Now, what I want to do is just show you something that I kept on file and I just literally, when I pulled it up, I was startled because I wanted to share with you just one second here, get this out of the way. This is from a chart from Robert Prechter going back three years ago, back in 2021. You'll notice up here at 2021, he was looking at the Dow Jones industrial average and he was doing the squares of these numbers, excuse me, the square roots of these numbers and the expansion numbers. And as you can see, the 1.618 expansion measured in the Dow Jones, this is the Dow Jones index itself, not the futures, but it measured between 37,775 and 38,530. Folks, we just hit 37,700 in that index, just a little while ago, I saw it come across the tape. This is an amazing, amazing thing. Now, of course it was wrong because, you know, he thought the top was gonna come in. Nothing wrong with that because what he did, the market dropped 40% from this level. There was no question about it. But look at some of the things that he was following that I thought you would get interested in because just to show you some of the things that were going on, look at the high equity ratio. Now, this is 2021, we're way up here folks. That's one of them. We're gonna go through these one at a time because I think they're interesting. This is three years old. Look at record margin. You can imagine what the margin is now. The margin debt, holy moly guacamole. Take the next one here. This was record call premiums. We already know what those are. We see those expanding all the time. We got another one up in here. Record penny stocks have no idea about that stuff. Do another one here. This is record NASDAQ volume, absolutely no problem making new highs. Got another one here. Record insiders trading. Don't know too much about that one. I can't imagine it'd be anything but up. And then we have another one. This is that picture that we talked about right here. And I liked it so much. I sent it to prector. Of course, I don't expect to get a response because I said this is a pretty good call on price. I didn't say anything about time because I'm wrong a whole lot. But here is the chart that I really think you gotta pay attention to folks. There is what it is. Oh dear, come on. Please tell me. No, this is not good. I just got it up here. No, that's not right. Unfortunately, I'm in a word thing and I can't get this thing up. I don't believe. Son of a gun.  I don't know why I can't. I don't know why it's in word, but that is nothing else. I never do it. I don't know how to use word. Anyway, what it is folks. Just right click on the file. I right click, but there ain't no file there to click and open with, okay, I'll open it up here. I'll open it with Firefox. Thank you very much, Justin. God bless you. Okay, here it is folks. This is from the overbought, oversold, okay? And I just wanted to show you where we are now. You see, we're taking out these highs. The only time since 1957 that it moved faster was in September of 1982. And remember folks, this was after Reagan got elected and he led the bull loose. That's what his motto was. After that, it went 46%, stocks went 46% higher into 83 and then came down into 84, 85 and then went up into 87. But look at this folks. This was unbelievable, the fact that we've never been here. This is unbelievable, the fact that we've up at this level here and able to see where we are at some of these things, this spam call. So this has only happened once since the stock market started trading 200 years ago. So that's a big deal. I think we had to pay close attention to that, okay? There was another one here that I wanted to share with you. We've talked about the open interest one. Okay, I've already showed you the Dow Jones. Also, we are looking at these, let's get this picture back up here with the, with the, I wanna move back here to the, go back to the, hold on one second here. I wanna get to the weekly monthly chart here. Here's the monthly chart. Okay, now here's where we were on March the 5th of 2009. And of course you know, I was very bullish there. Just wanted to show you folks just the importance of the 3A2 on the monthly chart. I'm just gonna draw these in a little by little. I just did this this morning. There was your first one right there and the market goes way up. So you've gotta use that one as your second one. You go from this one up to the next one. I happened to be, there it was right there. I was in Clearwater, Florida with Tom. We hit this thing one, two, three times. And you remember this was an election year. If you remember that. Okay, here was election night and you'll notice that the market was limit down that day and the election right after Florida was supposed to have gone to the Democrats. And it didn't. And then the market closed higher on the day. And of course there's a monthly chart in a way it went. And then we have this other big one right here. This is the COVID, okay. So what we'll do is we'll just get this out and see how some of these numbers work. And you go from your low back in March of that year and you put this up here, went exactly to the 50%. Remember this, this was when all the airlines were going tapioca, no more flying, nothing. And so we did get to the 50% level here.  But this is where we're sitting right now, folks. We're sitting at, we're knocking on the door as they say at a trade. This is mother God and country. If you believe in pattern recognition, if you believe in Fibonacci, if you believe in the Lord himself. Uh-oh, sorry about that folks. Should never make fun of that. And I didn't mean that in any bad way. So please, please forgive me. I just, this is really set up for a flying Walinda. And I think the reasoning behind it, and we've talked about this several times here over the past weeks, because we're waiting to see the last of these called stelliums where they line up. This was March the 5th of 2005. You see how all these are in the same house like this? Eight of the 12? I mean, you've got these wild ones around here, but this is the moon. But anyway, they're all at zero degrees. This is what we've got, we're heading into that now. It started on December the 13th, seven days ago. So we're over some real heavy stuff up here. I really think so. That's, I think it's very, very important that we pay very close attention to it. The other thing that's happened here is on the open interest. You notice we had those big open interest increases. Let me get these up here. Last week, you can see here, Tuesday, Wednesday, all these bigs. Now look what's happening. You see, we've started to drop. And that's the signs that there's no new buying coming in and that's just short covering. At least that's what history tells us. So let's take a break.<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Okay, folks, I've been asked to discuss a couple of markets here that we're involved in. One of them is the crude oil. If you remember, we had Bill Meridian on Friday and he was saying how bullish it was for the period of December through March and we were saying there was your 382 that we were looking to be a buyer of and went exactly to the price. It had a really nice move, but today I said, you know, we made a 61% retracement here and you'll notice that we got up here, we stayed here for well over two hours. My feeling was because we were at the 61% retracement, okay, and I live and breathe by, you know what, ABCD and there was an ABCD spot on right there at 7503 and I said, I would be exiting here. I didn't say the reasoning behind it, I just said, look for a pullback to buy it back. But the reason why is this is nothing more, folks, than a really nice seven day rally into a bear market. I know the news is incredibly bullish, rates for ongoing shipping rates in the Red Sea area have gone up 400% this week, 400%. Now, that's gonna be pretty hard to maintain that people shipping stuff because that cuts into the overhead. So that's what I was looking at. So that several people asked me, but that's what I was watching. Is that ABCD coming in right there? And the fact that in my opinion, we should have at least gone up into this level right here. I mean, we didn't have that news there. We got the news, you know, during this time right here the last couple of days. So it should have been much stronger. Now, what I will be watching is I'll be watching the low to the high because I think this is still a great trade. If we get down here to 72 and a half, that's down a buck and a half. Watch that because that's gonna be the one that's gonna tell us whether it's gonna be bullish or bearish because it's gotta hold that if it's really bullish for several reasons. You're also gonna be looking at a 61% retracement of this move right here. See, there's the other one right there. You see how it's the important 72.50 is? Actually 72.70, but close enough. 72.70, so that's why you wanna be watching it very, very closely. Okay, another one that is driving me cuckoo is this doggone cattle. Let me get this over here. We have an order to buy and it just doesn't wanna get filled. You see, we came here within 10 cents of getting filled at the 38.2 and now it's rallied another $600 to the upside. So it's looking that probably won't get there. We're gonna leave that order in. We sold the original that we bought back here at 69 and a quarters. We made seven cents in that move and what we're looking for now is we're trying to get it bought back. Now the real kicker here is that tomorrow, tomorrow the piggies are going to have a big crop report. Hold on, I've gotta get the other one up here just one second here and I'll show you the pigs because we'll get that up here, get the daily up here. And yeah, see the hogs are backing off just a little bit. See, here's where we are. They're below the 38.2 right now. What we're gonna do now is look at those on an hourly basis just like we did the cattle. So here's where we're sitting right at the 38.2. There was your ABCD and we got a crop report tomorrow in pigs. It comes out at 11 o'clock central time. So that will be, well, it'll be bright about. We should be able to see the results of that tomorrow. So we'll be watching. I'd like to see hogs get down to this level right here and I'd like to see the cattle pull back because this is a perfect ABCD. We've had a long move down. The fact that we started to turn up and we've taken one, two, three, four days just to make the 38.2 and we've got this report in tomorrow. So we've gotta be able to decide I don't wanna go into report either hogs or cattle. I don't do those live, well, I don't do any of those kind of things including the soybeans and wheat and all that stuff. You wanna wait till the report is out and then makes it a lot better than trading. Okay, let's get over here to the gold. Had a really good situation in gold last night. Here's where we were. We set this out in the video last night and we said there should be some really strong support to this guardly right down here at 2042, exactly 61% retracement. We had a nice rally here of 12 bucks, but we didn't. So we keep our stop at break even on that because nothing's changed. It's just backing and filling in here. The worst that happens to you now is that you break even. That's all you can do. It'd been nice if you would have been able to catch this but unless you're very, very fast this took only 45 minutes to do that. And if you weren't right there on the opening, you wouldn't have missed it. And of course it went to nowhere right up to the 61% retracement. So this is what we're looking at. The only good part about this is it's still got a $500 profit in it. And the second thing is, is that it's had some higher bottoms in here. That's another thing that makes it look halfway decent. So if I were in this gold trade like this, I would move my stop up here to 44 to make sure that I don't lose anything and put a couple bucks in the pocket because it's holiday weekends coming up here in a couple of days. We've got the big solstice, winter solstice tomorrow and that'll be all the people from England will be over there in Stonehenge. They get about 150,000 people there to do their chanting and stuff every time the winter solstice arrives over there. So that's this one. And we had one other one to look at that was the cattle. Where is the natural gas? This was been a real rocking. Oh, one other one. Let me do the bonds first because we're gonna have Mike Moore coming up here pretty quickly. The bonds are still setting. Let's get the weekly. We're still setting right here, folks. This we sold them at 124.03. We've been here for five days. So I still think this is okay. We might get a little bit higher. We were risking a thousand bucks in this but I still think it's the right thing to do. Eight weeks up, we've already showed you that these were exactly the same thing. This was seven weeks in that run. This was eight weeks in this run and they were exactly equal. So that's another thing to say that we should get a little bit of a pullback here in these bonds and we're gonna find out what it goes from there. We had the 2% rate go to below 4% today. So you'd think the bonds would be going wacko to the upside, but they're not because that's bullish to bonds and yet they're not responding to it. So that's why we're watching that one very, very closely. And then finally was the natural gas. Get it up here. Look at this natural gas. This was unbelievable yesterday. We went right down to the 3.8, 61% retracement. Where is the, I just wanna get rid of that, hold on. We're gonna go from here to there, right there, right at the 61. Just misses it by a heartbeat by half a buck. Goes up and matches the high again and then comes all the way down and what it's doing now is it's just pulling back to another 61% retracement. We're sitting there just about there right now. So that's gonna tell us whether we start to move higher in this. So that's what paying attention to in the natural gas. Okay, let's take a little break here. 877-976648, stay tuned for Mike Moore. Tigers, tis the season for leveling up your trading skills.

Okay, folks, we're back and we have Mike, more of more analytics on the line, and maybe he can tell us what's going on. The Red Sea, the Straits of Hormuz, what's going on over there, Mike? I don't know, you'd be able to tell me better than I'd be able to tell you. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Yup, I'm straight clean. So what are you looking at here? We just rented some resistance up here at 75, it looks like. Well, what's your feeling here? Can you see my screen okay? Yep, it looks like we're in good shape. Okay, so we're gonna start off with crude. So the crude oil, we're just holding right here, we just held this exhaustion level right here. What does that mean? That means on this lower timeframe move up, that this is likely entering into a, just a lower timeframe bearish correction against this move before slash if resuming another new bull structure. Now, obviously it can either be a bearish correction or it could start into a whole new bear trend. It's hard to tell. But on this higher timeframe structure from up here, okay, on the high of the 27th of September, I believe that right now we're in a phase of correction against that move down. Cause we'd held exhaustion that we talked about on our last show down here with that little red line. Let me just pull this up here. We held exhaustion at 67.98 and about $7.07, a little bit more than that. Today, Thursday, we also left a moderate bullish reversal below that weren't a higher trade for days. But I said that the trade above this high would when we're in the last stretch of the structure. So we held this little square here which represents exhaustion and says that we're likely heading into a bearish correction against this move up. So on a higher timeframe, and I don't normally extrapolate this much on this, but if this is gonna be a full blown bullish correction against the higher timeframe move down, that is not due to be completed until like after the 14th of January. So what we may see here is a correction against this move up for a number of days and then the start of a whole another bull structure higher. Especially if, well, this line isn't very, that's not fully formed yet, but in the Arba or unleaded gasoline, it does have a fully formed formation here. We held it right here on the high today, pulled off a bit. But if you take that out, that's gonna have fairly significant projections to the upside of 6.5 cents, minimum 25 cents plus maximum. So this would be the real pivotal line that you're watching just in the complex. If you broke above there decently and fell back down through it decently, then that would be out of all loans. I'd be sure to be looking for this to come off. And just a reminder that your products are usually the ones leading these moves, 85 to 90% of the time, as has been the case in this one up. Now we're just sort of rolling over. Could we look at the Arbob first, Mike? Yeah, so the Arbob's been rallied up a bit here. This is simply held exhaustion. Let me just back up a little bit. We held exhaustion above with a 270, 21 high. We've been talking about this on past shows and we rolled over 73.49 cents. There's a whole bunch of other bearish projections. Those are all on hold. Then we held exhaustion below at 197.94 and rallied 24.5 cents. And we left a moderate bullish reversal below in here. Last Thursday, we're into higher trade for days slash weeks. We've been rallying for now the fifth day into that. And then I said decent trade above 221.89 minus 1.5 ticks per hour will project this upward to 6.5 cents minimum, 25 cents plus maximum. And just a reminder for those of you that may not understand how to calculate these 25 cents maximum, that's going to be the equivalent of what would be an over $10 move in the crew on a dollar basis, if that makes sense. That's a lot. Yeah, go ahead. And then in the heating well, similarly we left a minor bullish reversal below five days ago, then a moderate bullish reversal below three days ago, all suggesting higher trade. Let's pull that up in here. I'm going to kind of just stick to the lower timeframe stuff today so we can go through as many as possible. Trade above 250.20, more to decent strength. We've seen 23.38 cents of that so far and a little bit more than that today. And then I said here this morning the break above 272.50 and back below may bring in pressure into the AM. So that was the break back below right in here. And then I wrote this earlier this morning, I said the break back below there are likely bringing pressure. We're seeing that pressure and the failure below here we may see even more pressure today. Do you want to look at the Brent and the gas oil or would you like to look at the next gas oil? I haven't seen Brent in a long time. I personally like to see, and then after that we'll take a look at the heating oil, okay? Yep, Brent is very similar picture, left a moderate bullish reversal below, or a minor one and then a moderate one been rallying ever since. And this also I said it was likely in the last stage of this structure upward. I said that if it did take out 80.76 that would change the picture here and suggest that this has more longevity but it held just below 80.76 and started to roll over here. This makes more headway down in here. I think we're gonna just roll over into a bearish correction maybe before slash if resuming higher trade. And then the gas oil very similar to heating oil that is rallied up also. I'm not really going through a lot of the projections we had in here but the Brent held exhaustion in 72.40 to 183, the 72.29 low and bounced $8 over $8. And then the gas oil also, I said we're likely in a bullish correction or trend against move down from 8.3050. If so, the minimum target is 8.1850. So we didn't hit the 8.1850. Oh, I'm sorry, let me back up a little bit. I did say a number of days ago though that our Bob had a minimum target of 221.68. I'd said that when we were down in here and we just hit that two days ago. But the heating oil and the heating oil has its minimum target up here at 278.30, which we have not hit yet. And the gas oil has a target up here at 18.50. We haven't hit yet either, which suggests to me and I don't like to extrapolate too far out there but we may see a minor bearish correction before starting into a new bullish structure where we go up and hit these levels. Currently right now, we're just hitting this, we're holding this exhaustion right here and rolling over a bit. Would you like to look at the natural gas? We haven't- Sir, that's for rock and roll again. I'd like to see that. We'll be right back with Mike Moore and more analytics. I'm sorry, we've got to pay a few bills here. Be right back. Christmas.

Can you get propane in your area, Mike? Guess there was none available here in Tucson. It's heating my pool right now. Oh, well, don't have to worry about that here. Okay, all right, that's what I wanted to know. Thank you, go right ahead, please. Yes, I don't mean to laugh. I heated the pool over the kids for their vacation for the week, so. Anyway, in natural gas, the trade below 34690 brought in 1.234 of pressure, and then I've worn the trade back below 22940. You may bring in strength. We've seen a 303 ticks of that. So all these bearish calls appear on hold. We left a minor bullish reversal below, over here on the right. On 12, 14, 23, we attained 153 ticks from that open. So right now, it's kind of a question mark. I'm still generally bullish. We got bullish from the break above this red line here at 22940, and then left that bullish reversal below. We're consolidating here. If we come back up and take out these areas, I think this could extend more to the upside. But I also think that this general structure here this may just be a pullback up here before one last move down to take out these lows and test some exhaustion levels down here. We'll have to see. If we fail back down through 240, 50 decently, that'll negate this minor bullish reversal below and that'll increase the likelihood that we're gonna head down and take out these lows. You have any questions on that? Or do you want me to take a look at the goal? Could we switch over to, I wanna make sure we cover the goal. That's a gold and silver. If you could do those, I'd like to see those. In fact, we've had requests for those. Okay, gold, shut that for a second. Here we go. Okay, just on a recent basis, the failure below 2089, warned of decent pressure. We saw 101.1 of that. And a number of other bearish formations. Those are all on hold. And the trade above 21060 was a sign of renewed strength and possible run for the highs again, although that is not a projection necessarily. And Thursday we left a minor bullish reversal below. So that was right in here. We left this minor bullish reversal below. If we leave a maintained gap lower, today or the next few days, that'll leave a minor bearish reversal above. But right now this is bullish and does suggest a likelihood of heading back for the highs, but that's not a projection. Meaning that this isn't a formation that projects it up there. It's just a good likelihood based on the structure. Just on the day right here, we've been bearish since the failure back below this 2059, 60 level, but that's just a short term. Okay. We've already talked about since we took out that peak there. Did you wanna look at the S&P 500 or Bitcoin? Absolutely, the whole world wants to watch that one because this is pretty easy. Let's just point up, right? It's just true. Well, listen, a lot of people can say, hey, just been pointed up and we're bullish and all that, but you've been having, you've had me on this show long enough that the people watching this remember when I talked about holding exhaustion below at 4,115. Right? I remember that. Absolutely, yes. We held up with the 4,122 in a quarter low. And I said that that was a major exhaustion low. We've bounced 702 points since then. Then we left the minor bullish reversal below, rallied 602. Then the break above this is brought in 546. Remember I said the solid penetration above this line put us above a substantial formation that warrant a higher trade for days slash weeks. You've seen 495 points from that. And then the trade above 4,417.50. Remember I said that that projected this upward, I think it was 300 points at a time. It decreased the projection a bit over time. But by the time it got down to 261, we took that out. We've seen 406.75 of that so far. I won't go through the rest of these right here, but note I said, no, we are likely in the last stretch of the structure upward from 3,502 upward with major possible exhaustion at 48, 22 and a quarter, which we've just taken out slightly, but not really enough to say it's been taken out. And now I said I would be wary of any kind of bearish reversals up here, because if one of them causes a bearish correction against this move up, it should exceed 512 points from whatever the high is. Wow, that's a big prediction. Yeah, we came within a heartbeat of what you just said, that's correct. Right, so this, I'm just gonna, again, forgive all my weird lines and all that stuff. I'm going from a 60 minute chart up to a daily minute chart, okay? So this whole structure here, this is likely in that last stretch of that structure. Now we're just holding the top of this exhaustion level right here. And I would note, if you look over here, this is right where the old major highs of the market were, 48, 08 and a quarter. So this is a pretty key area here. I mean, if this was to leave some sort of minor bearish reversal above or really fail back down through all this stuff, then this thing could start getting ugly on the downside for a while. And what would that turn into? Well, I don't really know, it might just be a bearish correction that would be significant before possibly a whole another bull structure, or it could be the beginning of a bearish trend, we'd have to see. But I would be extremely cautious with my longs here. You had a really nice extended hard ride up with very little breathing room, except we're in here. So when this does come off, it could be pretty sharp as well. So just be protected, be protective. I'd have some place to have my stops to get out of my longs and take other shots instead of riding it down against myself. I agree with that one. Any questions on there before I go to the Bitcoin? Let's go to Bitcoin. That's going to be a really interesting one. Okay. Oh, by the way, if we take this top exhaustion level out at 48, 22 and a quarter, the next one is going to be around 49, 51 even. These aren't exactly, mind you, because this is a continuation contract that has rollover spreads between the contracts, but in general. And then finally, the Bitcoin here, we've been bullish since we broke above 16, 275. You've seen 28,985 according from that. We had a big pullback within that. And then the break above 25, 335 to 585 signals we put in a low and are in a bullish trend. We've seen 19,675 of that so far. We had a number of other bullish projections in here. I won't go through right now, but then most recently the trade above 42, 330. Now warrants a renewed strength. That was a break above this line, broke above it, pulled right back to it in a rallying now. If we fell back down through this line or through this formation, and that would warn the renewed pressure, do you got to go for a commercial breaker? No, no, not yet. I don't think so. I'm checking the, we got another 42 seconds, so please continue. This line right here comes in around 41, let's just say. A decent break below there would project this downward 2,800 minimum, 4800 plus maximum. Okay, now we got to pay a few bills. We'll be right back with Mike Moore and more analytics. Stay tuned folks.

At 32 metres long, 250 tonnes and having recently undergone a multi-million dollar refit in Brisbane, Indigo was the first vessel whose crew was granted the new Super Yacht crew visa. The visa allows greater flexibility for Super Yacht owners and crew seeking to visit Australia and extend their stay in Australian waters. After we leave Service Paradise, we're going to head up towards Cairns and stop in a few of the islands on the way and unfortunately Cairns will now be our last port in Australia and I get the best job, I get to drive. I have an engineer and we have a chef who happens to be my wife and then I have a first mate and a deckhand and they're really responsible for the exterior cleaning of the vessel and for handling the lines and all of the outside jobs and we have one stewardess who has to look after the whole of the interior by herself and we have the owner on board who's cruising around the world. To be eligible for the visa, applicants need to be working on board a luxury sailing ship or motor vessel more than 24 metres long that isn't carrying cargo and is used for sport or pleasure. The new visas are processed by Queensland's seaport section and allow the crew members to come and go from Australia for up to 12 months. The Super Yacht visa was launched in April this year by Minister Evans and primarily it's to attract the Super Yacht industry to Australia that represents $150 million a year and potentially over the next five years will represent $500 million a year. Captain Watson agrees that the new visa will bring more Super Yachts to Australia. I think it's a fantastic idea and it's going to really help simplify the process for the captains and enable the larger yachts to get into Australia without the rigged roll of the short visas and having to renew every time.
