The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Morning Markets Kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good morning, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN Thursday morning, 9.06 a.m. We got about 24 minutes to go until the starter trading and markets picking up in negative territory quite the day yesterday. You could say one for the record books. As we accelerate, you're talking about near 5% in the NASDAQ, greater than 4% in the S&P. Huge numbers this morning. We're opening down 1% in the S&P. You're just off that number, 0.96%. You're negative 37 points. You were as low as $38.56. I bring it up to the tick because that is one point away on the S&P from where we were the lows of May 12th, and you talk about an acceleration. We had a price of 4,095, excuse me, for the high yesterday. That's right, 4,095. You are 210 S&P points below that price level, remarkable. You take a look at the S&P on a longer-term basis. We're bumping up right against that 3A2. We've been talking about it for a while, how the NASDAQ was at that 3A2 level. Maybe the S&P makes it down to that level. We're about 90 points from that level right now. S&P is down about a percent this morning. You jump over to the NASDAQ. So much for $12,000. We're at $11,844. The lows of last week, $11,689. You're talking about 150 points. We're as low this morning, $11,704. So what's that, 15 points? Basically touching the lows just like the S&P. Now the NASDAQ, floating right at the 50% price level, retracement of the entire move higher on COVID. Folks, that's a 50% retracement of a 10,000-point move in the NASDAQ 100, 6,600 to 16,700, just like that. The NASDAQ 100 giving up 5,000 points from the highs. You get the Dow right now. Now the Dow, the only index hasn't made it to that 3A2 yet. You're trading at $31,130 on that price level for the Dow. You're talking about a price level of $29,500, you could say. That would bring you back to the 3A2 of the acceleration higher during COVID, the Russell this morning, negative by 13 points. Bitcoin, sitting at about $29,500. You got crude, backing off a bit as well. You jump over to the short-term chart on crude, quite a pullback yesterday, continuing that pullback today. You were just at $115,000. You're trading at $104,000 on the price of crude. Gold contract catching a bit, $18,38. There's some action in gold. You got the bonds. Let's get down to notes and bonds. Interesting, for the first time, maybe we have notes and bonds acting as they usually had. As in, when you get risk off in the market, people go to bonds to seek yields. Quite a different scenario from when you had the market accelerating lower because you had bonds, the price of bonds accelerating lower, pointing to higher yields that were bringing the market down lower. Maybe we've finally gotten to the point that we see a little bit of a recoil here where yields sitting at a level the market's comfortable with. We'll be talking to our man, Kevin Hinks, after the break. He's been talking about what if rates sit where they are right now for a little while, right? We're sitting at 2.78%. That's quite a yield when you think of how we were just at 3% and change. You check out the daily. We're at $1,708, so you got the 10-year trading up three ticks. Now for some context here, okay? You got the 10-year trading right where you were on April 8th. So you're talking about almost six weeks now. Six weeks, the yields have been there for some context of where the market was on April 8th, okay? You jump back to the NASDAQ. Let's find it. The NASDAQ was almost 3,000 points higher. So you've had the yield stay at a yield of, we're talking about the 10-year, about 2.8%. 2.787 to be exact right now, so that would round up to 2.79%. We'll call it 2.8%. You've been sitting at that price level for about five weeks, that yield level in the 10-year, and meanwhile, you've now had markets fall 3,000 points, almost the NASDAQ 100, but interesting action yesterday, back to the 15-minute, as you had markets accelerating lower, and you actually had a exodus to fixed income, an exodus to a safe haven, and that safe haven being yields, being the 10-year and just fixed income, which hadn't been the case for a while. So we'll see how that shakes out. All right, let's jump around to what else we have going on in the market. The headlines write themselves, man, quite a wipeout yesterday. 1.5 trillion dollar wipeout. I saw that headline at first, and I said, oh, is that, is that how much the market's lost from the highs? That doesn't seem that bad. No, folks, that's what it lost yesterday. Remarkable. And yeah, this is pointing to that, it's gonna slide a little bit further today. We got the S&P down 1%. Now, it was down 1.6%. Take a look at the S&P in terms of where we were this morning. I woke up this morning, S&Ps, you're talking about a solid 30 points lower. You're 63 points lower. I said, man, it might be another bad one, and it might, okay? We got 19 minutes to go until the opening bell, but the market's down about 8.10% right now, so about half of where it was, as of just about three hours ago at 6 a.m. And yeah, you talk about some volatility, man, in terms of where we were, S&P 500 slump, the most since June of 2020, over earnings and policy fears. Many did not expect, folks, the wipeout that you could have in companies like Walmart and Target. Walmart disappoints early Tuesday. You have Target following that up with a great disappointment yesterday, and Target, I mean, just a mammoth pullback, and it'll be interesting to see how this stock progresses forward. You jump over to the Analyze tab, we take a look at the fundamentals, and yeah, that's still a PE. I wonder when this resets. I have to figure that out, 15.975, because that was in there yesterday, I believe at the price, the same price level, maybe they get reset on the earnings that they just came out with, but you're gonna be approaching some levels of PE for a company like Target and a company like Walmart, man. Those are real companies, folks, and that's the worrisome thing when you're pulling back 25% in a company like Target. That is not a company with the likes of Zoom or Roku for lack of a better example that's just predicated on extreme growth, extreme multiples, not even the case. Shelves are empty in the Walmart near me. Yeah, it's interesting because you got a dichotomy going on here. Part of the reason why those stocks traded back so much is because they got too many goods. They got too many goods right now. They stocked up on inventory at a time when business was booming. Now they got all that inventory. I think I saw on the article yesterday on Target that inventory levels 43% above where they were a year ago. Now a year ago, they could just not keep up with business in any way. If you think about it, that's when inflation started to rage, right? Middle of 2021, it makes sense that inventory had almost nothing on these companies. They weren't prepared for the resurgence that we had going on coming out of COVID. That is still causing inflation. And now you have them loaded up with inventory, same thing with workers, right? They ramped up with workers. You had Amazon doing the same thing, building out too quickly, costs rising at a level that was not able to keep up with the demand that has waned and nonetheless, man, watch out. Now, Coles out with their numbers this morning. Decent numbers, you're down a bit. So you're down $2.50. I say decent numbers as in they didn't fall 25%. You're still down about 5% though, and that is after falling pretty heavily on yesterday's numbers from Target. You trade from 48 down to 43. Yesterday, you're down to $40.50 about they're taking bids to try and sell the company and they're gonna be looking for those bids pretty soon. You got the market catching a little bit of a bid. Only down 30% right now. We got a 3,800 hand in the S&P folks. Stay tuned. Oh man, Kevin Hicks after the break. We'll be right back. Time of booming inflation. We are purchasing powers eroded. There's no better place to protect your harder and money than in gold. This the gold's flagship asset is the Monk Todd Gold Project in the Northern Territory of Australia. This is Australia's largest undeveloped gold project. We are talking a world-class gold project in a tier one mining district.

This the gold just completed the Monk Todd Feasibility Study, which resulted in a 7 million ounce gold reserve in a 16-year mine life. All of this combined with the approvals of all major operational as well as environmental permits. This distinguishes Monk Todd as an attractive, dearest pot ready development stage gold project.

TFNN, educating investors. Welcome back, folks. We have the S&Ps, negative by 32 points right now picking up where we left off yesterday, all the markets in negative territory. We got a 3,800 handle in the S&Ps right now. You got an 11,000 handle in the NASDAQ 100. We're still above 31,000 in the Dow. Gold catching a bid this morning. You're up $23 right now in the price of gold at 18.38, and we jumped to notes and bonds as you get a little bit of a bounce back right now. We get the 10-year up, 26 ticks on the session.  You got one all day yesterday when the market fell apart. You have another acceleration from where we were at about two in the morning. I mean, just look where we were at two in the morning, okay? We're up a full point from where we were at two in the morning. Gonna be interesting to see how this plays out in terms of where yields go and where we go from there. But it looks like you might have a little bit of a normal relationship. We could call it between stocks and bonds as when you have a flight away from equities, maybe into fixed income, hadn't been the case for so long when you had bonds selling off, yields rising, and that causing markets to sell off. Different scenario, maybe a little bit of capitulation that we have reached an area that markets a little bit more comfortable with the repricing of some of the assets. I'm gonna take a look real quick. There was a, I think it was our man, Jeff, right? Who posted this in the data? I think it was G7 talking about just some of the equities. Yeah, it was. Let me pull up this tweet because man, there's some huge numbers, folks. When you look at some mammoth companies, okay? 2022, Apple down 20%, right? Staggering numbers when you look at some of these companies right now. Microsoft 24, Tesla 33, jumped down the line, NVIDIA off 42%. And then you get into some of the crazy ones. PayPal even down 59%, Netflix 71%, Shopify 72, 74%, just remarkable. We got about 10 minutes to go into the opening bell. Let's jump over to our man, Kevin Hinks. Every trading day, folks, 12 noon Eastern time, right here on Tiger TV, fast market with your host, Kevin Hinks, Tom White. They walked you through the day's market action. Kevin Hinks, good morning. Yeah, coming off a pretty bumpy day yesterday because if you think about it, not only did Target and Walmart, that one-two punch show us that retail has some issues, but the consumer stable sector was a pretty strong sector. And so that got hit hard yesterday. So even that sector didn't help us. And so even for someone who's been around this market as long as I have, that was a pretty violent day yesterday, Tommy. So here's the good news though, coming out this morning.  You've got yield down. You've got the US dollar down. You've got crude oil down. All those things point to maybe a slight recovery here in US stocks. Now, that doesn't mean that we're off our lows to start the day. This is still gonna be a bumpy, volatile trading day time. You've still got the VIX hovering just below the 32 level. That implies about a 2% move a third of the days. So volatility is still here. We'll see how this day's played out. The job was claimed number was higher than last week, but still a number that indicates a strong labor market. The Philly Fed number was horrible. That's a regional look at manufacturing in the Philadelphia area. But we'll see how this plays out with yield lower, the dollar lower, and crude oil lower. Three things that have been working against the market lately, Tommy. Yeah, it was interesting to see the action in the price of the 10 year out there yields, as you say, pulling back pretty dramatically. Maybe a reset too. And I don't like the word normal occasionally, but more normal times. Whereas you have the market pulling back, people flocking to whether it's fixed income, some safe havens, a little bit different from when you had yields rising, causing everything basically to sell off. Maybe that speaks to the market a little bit more comfortable with where we are. And you talked about it yesterday, Kevin, man target. I think we came into those earnings with a PE of like 15 or 16. I think we're down to something like 13, maybe potentially on target. At some point, these pricing, repricing, you could call up a pretty dramatic yesterday. Yeah, I think that was the worst day for target since 1987, quite a pullback. And we talked about it yesterday when you're on the show, man target. They got a great brand out there in terms of just the brand likability, as you guys talk about with likefolio. But boy, we got a wake up call, I think yesterday across the board. Coles is out with their numbers, Kevin. They're down a bit. They're down about $2. It almost feels like a reprieve when you still got the stock only down a couple bucks considering how some of these retail stocks have fallen out of bed, but Coles was down 11% yesterday. In a market like this, Kevin, at first it started off with all the growth stocks, right? I mentioned a couple of them right as we came to you in terms of the pullbacks we've had. We're all kind of familiar with the Zooms and the Roku's and the Pelotons of the world really pulling back. But now you got Walmart, man. Now you got Target. Amazon's had quite a pullback. Where do you look, Kevin, in this market and talk about a million, if not billion dollar question, man, where are you looking? Now, we all know the safe havens, but when you see companies like Walmart and Target before this week, you might have thought at least you wouldn't be prone to the type of moves you had in the growth stocks as an investor. Where do you kind of try and get your chips in order in this market, you think? Well, I think you really have to, and historically in down markets like this, when they do recover, you want to have the best of the best. Now, Target had some self-inflicted wounds, right? In terms of the back end of their store. I think they didn't see the move from discretionary to consumables in their inventory. And like I said, they had some missteps along the way and the stock paid for that, right? I think you'll see higher prices from them. I don't think they'll take another quarterly hit of not passing on higher prices to the consumer. I think Walmart's the same way. I certainly expect those numbers to get better. Now, you're right, Tommy. My fingers from platform has Target's PE at 11.4 right now to start the day. So I think that's pretty substantial there. That's for sure. So I think what you want to concentrate on, what your listeners want to concentrate on, two things that I've told young traders throughout my career, don't freeze, keep trading, keep moving things around, keep staying in the game and look for good companies. Remember, earnings this quarter have been relatively positive. It's all the other things around the market that have been hurting names. Now, these retail names, these consumer staples, Walmart and Target, those work good, right? And that surprise was a little bit of a misstep on their management part. But you look at some of the big stocks that have come out with good earnings, that's where you should target, right? Some companies still have good, good, free cash flow. Some companies still have good earnings. The best of the best that are beaten up with the rest of the market is what you should be looking for, Tommy. And at least when you get, and this is my own opinion, man, when you get down to a PE that the human brain can understand, because many times, man, what was Nvidia's PE at like the highs? It was something bananas. And at least you're at a level if you're a long-term investor, this might take, you know, you're investing in a company, if you believe in it, Target's not going anywhere, folks. I think you're at about a $75 billion market cap for that company right now at a PE of 11 and change. Maybe you're getting an entry in a longer-term basis after that pullback that could be attractive on some levels. But we got some period of volatility to go, Kevin, man. We got months, if not stretching in, where we're gonna be dealing with these issues. Kev, we got 30 seconds to go. What are you guys talking about on the show at 12 today? Hello, Welfare Networks, Footlocker, and John Deere and Company. All right, man, we appreciate it, Kevin. Thanks for taking the time, as always, man. We'll be watching at 12 today.

We've got markets open, and you're looking at an S&P opening down about 8-tenths percent right now. We're flirting right near the lows that we had yesterday. Now, I say flirting with the lows of yesterday. Yeah, we're 30 points off the bottom, folks. But in the context of yesterday's run, in the context of where we ended Tuesday, we're right near the lows that we had on last Thursday. We're right near the lows of the overnight session. We caught a bid. We'll see where we open. You got the NASDAQ kitchen to bid right now. NASDAQ 100, negative by just 47 points. You're talking about 200 points off the lows almost. We were down to 11,000. Let's see what the low is, to be exact. 11,704, we're approaching 11,900 right now in the market. You jump over to gold. Excuse me, gold up 22 bucks, Kevin talked about. We're getting a dollar pullback right now. You got crude pulling back as well. You talk about a volatile market, man. I don't know what's going on with crude. But folks, since I came on the air at nine o'clock, crude's up $2. Not sure how you trade that one. Had a great conversation with our man, Teddy Kegstad, yesterday, and I asked him. Said, if you're thinking about trading crude, man, how do you trade crude when you can be right on? Let's put this thing on a daily. Let's just say you're right on a longer term basis as in the trend is positive territory, okay? But you're getting pullbacks that are $10 to $15. One of the things he talked about is you could trade forex, all right? You could trade those companies that are countries, not companies, countries, dependent on the crude market. You get an acceleration in the price of crude. You get strength in the economies that are crude producers. And he even added then maybe you throw some options in there because the risks are just pretty paramount on these markets. I mean, folks, it's 931 since I came on the air, as I said, crude's up $2. And guess what? You can't even see a pop on this market right now because we have crude down a buck 23 in the session, volatility everywhere, as they would say. And as Kevin said, man, you jump over to the VIX, VIX trading at 32 right now. Now a VIX of 16, okay? Means that you have a 1% move every three days. That is what's priced into the volatility when you have a VIX at 16. When you go to 32, you have a 2% move every three days. That's the volatility that's being priced in. If you don't think the market's that volatile, you should be selling the VIX. If you think it is more volatile than that, in theory, you should be buying the VIX as we're catching a little bit of a market bid here. S&Ps down only 20. Now, if the VIX goes to 24, okay? That's one and a half times 16. That's one and a half percent that the market is pricing in a move every three days. It's important to understand this. People talk about the VIX all the time. They call it the rule of 16, okay? You can Google it if you want, the rule of 16. If the VIX is at 16, it's pricing at a 1% move every three days. And all you do is you can multiply that 16 by whatever you want. So if it's at 32, you'd have to multiply it by two. Therefore, you get a 2% move every three days. Now, the point is we're at 32. That's pricing in a 2% move every three days. Folks, the market's almost doing more than that right now. I think we did 4% yesterday. Already, you had the S&Ps. I mean, if you look where we were this morning, you were approaching 2%. You were down at a price level of 38.56, excuse me. Yes, 38.56, okay? So you were down about 70 points in the S&Ps after being down, what, 120 points yesterday. We're catching a little bit. We'll see where we go. Let's jump around to some of the stocks that got slammed yesterday. See how they're opening target. Down another 2.2% today. No reprieve just yet. Walmart down 1.1%. Amazon got hammered yesterday. They're catching a little bit of a bit. Actually in the green right now, we might get the Nasdaq 100. There it is positive by barely a quarter of a point. 11,935.  Apple up about half a percent this morning. You jumped to Microsoft up 4.10%. They're all catching a bit on the open Google. Still in the red by about a quarter percent. Man, Tesla really took it on the chin yesterday. They're still down 7.10%. Elon Musk taking a break from managing four companies to tweet anything he wants yesterday. This one is quite a story in terms of how many narratives he's got spinning on Twitter at one time, let alone if he even wants to buy the company. You're down 1% on Tesla. You're sitting at 700 bucks right now. We'll see where that goes. You get the Russell sneaking into the positive by a buck 50. Let's see where Kohl's trades. Kohl's out with their numbers. We'll jump into those in a moment. You're negative, but in light of where this market is right now, you're only off 3.7% for Kohl's. You took it on the chin yesterday. You're trading at 41.40 right now. And I think I do have Kohl's numbers up here. Where are we? Yeah, I had them up here. Where are we? Come on, there we go. All right, so Kohl's, they're looking for bids. They're looking for final sale bids expecting in the coming weeks, slashes full year outlook after earnings miss. In light of where Target came in though, not as horrible as you could have feared is one way to freeze things. They expect fiscal 2022 adjusted earnings per share of 6.45 to 6.85. The market was looking for 7 to 750. In light of shrinking margins on Target and Walmart, not that big of a miss right now with everything going on in my opinion, folks, net sales are forecast to be flat to up 1% from year ago levels compared to prior guidance of two to 3%. That would worry me more. If I was an investor in Kohl's, which I am not, but that would worry me more. In the longer term basis, folks, these companies, Kevin Hicks put it well, they're gonna raise prices. They're gonna get it under control. If you're doing business and you're raising revenue, you're gonna figure out a way, and it might just be passing it along to consumers, you're gonna figure out a way to make sure that you're not losing money as you're growing your business. And when you see a company actually talk about that they may be flat when you have inflation up 9%, okay? That is inflation adjusted losing business. That's more worrisome. Earnings per share, 11 cents versus 70, okay? Revenue, they do beat, but barely. They forecast though, they're gonna miss on sales, probably going for the year forward. For the fiscal quarter, that net income, 14 million is what they get from the 11 cents compared with 14 million or nine cents a year earlier. Now, Coles, this market's rocking, man. S&P is only negative by eight. Coles, you take a look at this thing, you put it on a weekly, okay?  This move, now trading back to about 42 bucks. The 618 on Coles, about $37. All right, that could be an area maybe you find a bid, maybe it's gonna find a bid at this 50%. You did have quite a consolidation. That consolidation stretching back about 15 months in the price of Coles, and we just break right through that level. Now, here's what I wanna talk about on Target, man. Sitting right at that 618, 618, the 3A2, they're two of my favorite Fibonacci levels, folks. Larry Pesavento, I love the Fibs, I love what he talks about them, and I'm telling ya. All right, the one great thing about trading Fibonacci levels, folks, is you either know you're right or you're wrong, okay? You're looking to get in Target, this could easily be an area for Target. Kevin Hinks talked about it, okay? You're dealing with a PE ratio that is in the low double digits in terms of like 11, 12, 13. I imagine those numbers for earnings will go back up. They might not go back up in three months, though, folks, okay? There's gonna take some time for these companies to sort out the volatility that they are experiencing, and some of the words that Target CEO used were startling in terms of how shocked they were of how quickly consumer behavior changed, leaving them kinda holding the bag on a lot of items that they had. More normal times will come about, folks, okay? Target's still a great company. You're right back to the 618 and the entire move higher pre-COVID from a price level about 85 bucks, 90 bucks, what's the low here? $90.17, up to 270, we'll call it, get back to 158, and man, you were just trading at 254 in the price of Target April 18th a month ago. I mean, not many people, folks. I think the move expected in Target was $12, and that's when it was trading at 22, trading 157. All right, we got a little bit of volatility. We got a market that's up at 3,911. We got a 3,900 handle. Yet again, be careful of these rallies, folks, in a bare market, because, boy, we got some volatility in spades, and we got volatility coming down the line. Stay tuned for some spirit.

You're only negative by about 410s% in the red NASDAQ. 100 was in the green, slipping back into the red barrel. And we jump over to Tesla shares. As I mentioned, Elon always in the press. Quite the self-promoter as we know. Tesla, negative by about $2, not too much of a move, especially in the context of what this stock did yesterday. Now, the news out there yesterday, as I said, he's running four companies, but man, he can tweet about everything during the day. So they get removed from the ESG S&P 500. Now, I'm not gonna get into whether that's deserved or not, but it is important to note the social and governance aspects of the S&P 500. He changed the world for electric vehicles, man. And Exxon is in there, so I understand the controversy. Yeah, they probably deserve to be in there. But the social and governance aspects of Tesla are an absolute joke, folks, all right? It's run by a CEO that is just lying about his ability to sell shares, okay? So in terms of the governance of this company and what's going on now, the S&P G get more into that as in, even when you're talking about the employees, the work conditions, et cetera, okay? But I'm just talking about a company and he's pretty brilliant how he's getting into the political fray because that's gonna allow him to say everything is fake news, okay? But here's the facts, folks, okay? Twitter, to look at the exact dates, okay? Twitter, there's your acceleration on the news that Elon was gonna buy Twitter, okay? That news comes out over the weekend going into April 4th, okay? Since that news has come about, Tesla shares, where is it? Here it is. So somehow Tesla traded higher on the Monday following that news until the market figured out that this may be a bad thing for Tesla. Folks, April 1st, okay, which is the Friday before the weekend that that happened, that news came about, you had Tesla closing at 1,084. You are $384 in the price of Tesla and Tesla folks has 1 billion shares. Tesla market cap has lost almost $400 billion since Elon decided to do whatever you wanna say with Twitter, okay? So he's all out there, he's a grand promoter, but those are the facts. And if I was an investor in Tesla, it's pretty remarkable the lack of attention getting brought to the fact that on April 4th, when Elon went after Twitter, for whatever reason he did, the stock was trading at 1,080. The company has lost $400 billion in market cap and meanwhile he was able to sell his shares, pretend like he's gonna buy Twitter. He took a lot of Twitter investors to the cleaners as well.  He's a brilliant man, he changed the world in great fashion the way he did it with Tesla. Doesn't excuse the pain that he's causing some of those same people by doing whatever he wants as the richest man in the world. And you're talking about, yeah, he's not even the chairman of the board anymore. That one got yanked when he was up to no good on Twitter talking about misleading investors about taking Tesla private, et cetera. And now you have a CEO that is out there saying it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair. As he single-handedly tanks this company, now of course Tesla would be lower with the market at that time. But how much lower? How much devastation has been put into that company over the Twitter saga? That's debatable, but you know it's not debatable that the company's lost about $400 billion in market cap. I don't know, any other CEO that would be able to get away with that other than Elon. So keep that in mind when he says everything is so unfair, how he has managed this company over that period of time. And you can appreciate what he wanted to do with Twitter if you believe him, but I don't believe him for a second folks, and I don't think you should either. All right, let's jump around to see what else we've got going on. Yes, we talked about Coles. This one's an interesting one, talking about just general technology here. So the article over at CNBC, kind of a little bit of click bait, but you got X Amazon engineers, roll out their smart phone, smart shopping carts in Albertson stores. So you got two Amazon engineers, they start this company, X engineers I should say, in 2018, and this is where the future's going folks. It's pretty remarkable. Now Amazon launched its own product called Dash Carts in 2020. Not sure how you compete with Amazon. Excuse me. And let's see, let's see. Instacart, which I've used plenty of times, they acquired smart cart maker, Kapor AI late last year. Other grocery stores, Kroger, they've been testing technology at a handful of stores. Just really interesting to see what's gonna go on because this is what's happening folks, this is where the future's going. You're probably gonna have carts like this, you walk right out of the store, that eliminates the need for cashiers, right? Eliminates the need for human capital. Amazon already has where you can cash out, check out cashier free, some of those stores, but it's coming to all of them. You're seeing it. Albertsons, Kroger, right? All of the likes. I'm sure Publix has something going on as well because that's where the future is. The challenge for Veev and its rivals is proving its retailers that the carts, five to $10,000 a pop. That's like a top of the line Apple computer right now. But that's what they're charging. But guess what? If they replace the cashier, doesn't take that long to make it worthwhile for $5,000 if you're replacing a human employee that's making money every single day. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see. It's not a matter of if folks, it's a matter of when that those changes are coming. Jump around to another interesting conversation going on. Talking about smoking in casinos in Jersey. So I'm not sure where this one falls. It's an interesting one in terms of you have states, Nelson, smoking folks. It's like the worst thing you can do for your health, right? Secondhand smoke, obviously horrible for your health as well. Not sure how I feel about making everything illegal where if anybody wanted to do something, they could. And this talks about making a ban on smoking in casinos. Now, many casinos have non-smoking areas that basically they would go in this article talking about 90% of the casino is smoke-free at this point that they're talking about. Let me see if I can slide down here and get that exact number. Yeah, smoking's only permitted in 10% of the gaming floor at Hard Rock Atlanta City, Hard Rock Atlantic City.  I do, I will never be in that smoke area. It's crazy. I used to remember when I came down here and think it was in the early, it might've been 20 years ago that they stole out of thankfully poker rooms, have done away with smoking for a while because there's no escaping the smoke. And what this talks about is the employees and that's where it gets difficult. You got employees, they're working, they're working surrounded by smoke, but it gets a little difficult when you, what about the people that wanted to be able to smoke and what about if a business wanted to do that? They can't do that anywhere. Not sure where that one goes, because you have the ability for people to be able to be in smoke-free, but they're talking about a battle, it'll be interesting to see where it goes. Now you have total bans already in many of the states that surround it. I think it was New York, Delaware, and the likes reading this. So that one's gonna shake out in Atlantic City saying it'd be tough, because if this happens, of course, companies always say it's about the jobs. And many times they can be lying, okay? But it's an interesting one to see where this shakes out because at some point, I feel like businesses should be able to offer some place where smoking exists if they want to, if consumers want that as well. You can't legislate controlling people's lives to that degree, folks, you know? I mean, one of the great things, you can tax it. Why not tax cigarettes through the roof, man? Tax them through the roof, you know? You wanna be buying cigarettes, tax them through the roof. That's how you disincentivize that behavior instead of just making it illegal. That'd be my, you know, and it gets complicated from there, but. All right, so much for a market bid. We got markets selling off, Dow. 30,000 handling the Dow. We'll be right back, folks.

Hey what's up everybody it's Tuko from Music ID TV and this is Use the News. So a lot of us know that we are necessarily consuming music through streaming. Yeah, we use Spotify, we use Taito, we use Deezer, Apple Music, so on and so forth. But there is still more ways that people are engaging with music online and there still means that there's more opportunity for you to make more money from the way people might be engaging in your music online and that is where sound exchange comes in. So sound exchange collects non-interactive digital royalties. Non-interactive pretty much means you can't choose the song that you're playing. So think about Pandora, think about Beats One Radio, think about Satellite Radio, these are all the places that your music could be potentially but you may not be receiving the royalties from that and if sound exchange isn't collecting it on your behalf you won't get that money. So it's kind of imperative that you do register your music with sound exchange. Another thing is that sound exchange does not have much competition when it comes to other entities who are trying to do the same thing because they are designated by the government to collect these specific type of royalties on that song, right, but Artisan Labels' behalf. Now the difference between sound exchange and the likes of ASCAP or BMI is ASCAP or BMI works on the songwriter side and sound exchange works on the artist and label side for digital performances in non-interactive platforms where people can't choose what song they listen to. So there's a multitude of royalties out there, sound exchange is one of the companies that are providing another opportunity for you to actually receive these royalties. I know this royalty talk can be a bit overwhelming but I do plan on touching a little bit on these in-video so you guys get an idea on just better ways to make more money from your music. So in closing definitely check out sound exchange, there is no sign-up fee, it is open to all but they do take a 5% commission from royalties that they do collect on which is said to be one of the lowest globally so that's not that bad. But if you already registered with sound exchange please let us know if you are making any money from sound exchange. People need to know if these platforms are actually doing what they say they will do and nothing's better than testimonials especially from a community in which we kind of are interacting to exchange information so please leave that information in the comment section below beyond that be sure to share with a friend like and subscribe once again this is Tuko and this is Use the News, Sayonara.


Hi, this is Debbie Daschinger from Dare to Dream Radio, TV and Books, also MediaMastery.com and MyBestSellerBook.com Wow, so I'm going to ask you a question and it's kind of serious and I mean it from my heart. I know I love to joke and maybe I'll joke somewhere in here but I'm really asking a serious question. Why? Because I'm asking myself this question. In fact, I'm journaling about this right now so I'm going to ask you to take a heartfelt look inside and just keep this real. Between us. Right? Is that safe? What are you a slave to? What are you a slave to? Keeping it real, right? Is it food? Are you over? Maybe you're under eating, over eating. Do you think about food all the time, your body, your weight, to exhaustion? The fact that it keeps cycling over and over and over again and actually never gets resolved in your life? Maybe you lose weight, gain weight, go right back, craving. What else are you a slave to? Or what are you a slave to? Fear? Worrying? Anxiety? Can you eradicate your life or run it? Your thoughts? Are you a slave to overspending? I'm asking you these questions because you can fill in the blank. Maybe none of what I just said as an example even fits for you and maybe it's something so different but so real for you and such a repetitive, painful experience that again doesn't get resolved because you are in bondage. Cigarettes, alcohol, relationships, sex, gambling, money, what is it? Here's what I know when I'm really exploring right now. Slavery. I mean slavery. Think about what we think about slavery. Some of the horrific things we have done to other people on this planet, right? Hundreds of people, horrific, unthinkable and we do it to ourselves with things outside of ourselves so we claim to have no power over and maybe we're not even claiming it but we're living it. We're not able to get out from under and God we go back into our head and we think maybe I need to try this, maybe I need to try that, maybe that'll get me out. We try something else but the same bloody thing happens over and over and over again. Discouraging, disappointing, disillusioning and then we come up with thoughts about who and what we are because we can't stop being a slave to this craving that when it comes on takes over and causes us to do the very thing we swore we weren't going to do anymore, right? So I really don't want you to feel bad. In fact, it makes me want to cry a little bit because we all, I believe, have something, something you fill in the blank that makes us do this. It makes me want to cry because not only do we hurt ourselves with this thing that we can't stop craving and doing but after hurting ourselves we then hurt ourselves and say terrible things about who we think we must be because we can't stop doing this thing.  Acceptance is the answer to all my problems for today. So I accept that in my life I have this in certain areas and so what I'm doing is journaling and I'm going to ask you, if you're willing to join me, will you start journaling about the slavery you're experiencing and just write it out, the pain, the behavior, what causes it, what it feels like, what it feels like after, what the items are, what's calling to you and then there's something underneath this detrimental behavior because what's really interesting and here I am, right? I teach dreams, I teach creating dreams and what I'm really finding in unearthing is these cravings actually are stopping the biggest dreams I have because if I'm busy overspending over here, I don't have the money for world travel, which I say I want to do. If I'm busy overspending over here, gosh, I can't take that course. Now it's a blind spot because I don't see that, all I see is I can't do this. It's a blind spot because I'm not realizing that every little penny that's going over here is dwindling away the possibility of what really should be going there because that's where my heart is. This other stuff, it's piddly, it's not important, not life changing, not at all. It's very painful. It's very detrimental and I am deeply grateful to be enlightened right now and feeling a lot of illumination about this and so I'm talking to you about it because rather than continuing a lifelong cycle and never getting out from under, God knows I'm not going to end my life this way, I'm not. So what's contrary with journaling? What else is contrary? So it happens. The craving comes up and what else is possible? I'll give you some options. I said journaling, do it done, second, set up a special bank account, 10% goes to it no matter what. That's on top of other 10, 20% I have already going somewhere but already I can put money somewhere and that is specifically for really creating my big dreams. Craving comes up. Boom. I can speak, speak out loud no matter where I am, I can go somewhere private and just start speaking. I'm not alone, the universe is always there, my highest self is always there, my soul is there. Four, I can make a video that nobody sees. I can grab my phone and just start speaking my pain and the solution and anything else that comes up but just keep it real. Five, talk to God, just say it. What else? If you know any healing work, you could access that right away. Just do some energy, clearings, anything that is there for you. And next you could hold on. You could say what would happen if I just didn't give in to this craving? What would happen if I just breathed through this? Just an experiment. I don't have to do this for the rest of my life but just once, just once, I'm going to breathe and just sit with, what does it feel like to feel this overwhelming have to need to right now, fill in the blank for whatever it is for you. And if instead I just be with this, a craving ain't a dream. A craving ain't the real thing. A craving ain't going to get us any of us where we really want to be and do. So I love you. It's Debbie Dashinger, d-a-c-h-i-n-g-e-r dot com. And if you're ready to really move forward in your life this year and boy we're being called to move forward. What are you a slave to? What are you in total bondage to? And if you're ready to get out, do the writing, do the admitting, do everything it takes to take contrary action, on the other side is your dream come true. Freedom. Freedom.

Okay, well regarding metadata, Australia Entity Data Center, we use the DIFF metadata standard, which stands for Directory Interchange Format, that's the standard that was developed and maintained by the Global Change Mastery Directory. There are a part of NASA based out of the Goddard Space Center in Maryland just north of Washington DC. The reason why we use this standard is because it's the standard that's used by the entire international Antarctic community. There was about 15, 16 years ago, the Antarctic community got together, decided they needed to settle on a metadata standard, rather than using disparate standards that each countries were looking at, and DIFF was the one that was chosen, and as part of that, the Global Change Mastery Directory, they provide metadata support to the Antarctic community as well as providing an Antarctic metadata portal. Currently, we have about just over 2,500 metadata records, 90% of which point to data, a lot of which is public, although not all of it because we do have some commercial confidence data, and obviously we don't make data public until the scientists have managed to have a chance to publish themselves. As for our data, as I said, we have that in the DIFF format, which you can see in blue up the top, but we also convert that to a large number of other formats. On this little page here, all the blue squares are metadata formats, and the red squares are metadata repositories. We convert our DIFF standard into the ISO <IP_ADDRESS>.5 standard, which is just listed there as ISO. We also have a marine community profile version of that, and an anzlic profile version of that, and we also have this other funky one, this ANZ version, so that's just an intermediate step. Organizations then take our ISO ANZ metadata record, and then they convert that into RIFCS, which is then made available via the ANZ repository. So as you can see, I've listed the organizations I can think of that harvest our metadata records. So you can see there's quite a few there, most of them just take the plain ISO. I have just realized I've put Bob and Thomson Reuters in the wrong section because they actually take our plain DIFF metadata, they don't take the ISO, they just take the regular DIFF. So anyway, that's all by the by. So but what happens here, one thing I should point out is that most of these, all of these people that are harvesting our metadata record, they do so via something called WebDef. So we have all of our records that are in web-accessible folders, and we put those up there and then people just grab them and they harvest them when they're ready. I should point out that the Australian Special Data Directory, they require us to use geo-network for us to get our records into their system, but we haven't quite got that running properly yet, so that's more of a sort of wait and watch this space. So the reason why we do all this harvesting is because it helps increase exposure not only for us, but also for our scientists. So the more metadata repositories we can get our records out into, the greater the spread and dissemination of all these metadata records there is. And that means that that gives our scientists much more chance of their data being noticed and therefore being picked up by the scientists, and then obviously they get cited or it could lead to further collaborations for the scientists themselves. Okay, there are a few issues though with this. At the top point there, as I say in our experience, harvesting is usually a bit more pull than push. So whereas people like BOM or ANZ or whatever, they're grabbing their metadata records off us when it's convenient for them. Some organizations are good at doing that regularly or automatically. Others, they don't do it quite so often, and that can lead to sync problems because we're updating our metadata records all the time. And if somebody hasn't harvested our records for a few months, then the set that they've got obviously gets out at date. So we sort of monitor that a little bit every now and then, but that's just more of a, I remember to go get it out in the process rather than anything being automatic, so we could probably improve that. Also, there's a slight issue with re-harvesting, which I'll just show you in this diagram. So I've grayed out most of it, but what happens here is that ANZ, you can see they get our metadata from us, so it comes down through DIFF and into ANZ. But ANZ also harvest metadata records from this ocean data network, and they grab an ISO version of our data. And likewise, SUSE, the Southern Ocean Observing System, also harvest metadata from the AODN, as well as getting it directly from us. So the problem here is that we then have two copies of one metadata record, which can end up in the same system. And sometimes these records aren't quite the same, and that's because other organizations like the Southern Ocean Data Network and ANZ, obviously they tailor the metadata records very slightly to suit their purposes, which is fair enough because as their repository, it's their catalog, so they should make them look sort of how it fits for them. But what that sort of has the effect of is that when the records all end up in this other next repository, is that even though they're the same records, they won't look quite the same. So we've sort of tried to address that by adding a UUID to all of our records so that that gets preserved all the way through so that users can then, at least if they suit your records, which look to be similar, they can compare the UUID and go, okay, that is the same record, so I don't even worry about looking at this one. And we also try and add a point of truth URL to all of our records to point back to the Australian Antarctic Data Center original, so that at least users can then get back to their master record. Okay, so that's basically it for HUB Sting and for our project cycle. So thanks for listening.


When it comes to protein powder, I like to make my own as it means I can sprout the nuts and seeds myself making it a sprouted plant protein powder and I can source the ingredients making sure they're organic and local and This also allows me to know exactly what goes into my protein powder Plus the best part is it's so much cheaper to make than buying at the store as I can make up large batches that last me months I source my ingredients from the source bulk foods to keep the process plastic-free and I keep my protein powder in a glass jar So no plastic chemicals leach into the powder I'll be sharing with you my favorite homemade protein powder that I make on a regular basis using a range of nuts and seeds For a nut-free option you can switch out the almond meal for sunflower seeds and grind them into a fine flour I find it helps to sprout the nuts and seeds beforehand to reduce anti-nutrient concentrations anti-nutrients work to block absorption of other nutrients during digestion and can harm the gut lining over time if consumed in large quantities If you are concerned about the anti-nutrients found in nuts and seeds You can soak and sprout them beforehand and then dehydrate them before blending to make this protein powder Just note pasteurized almonds will not sprout so opt for organic raw almonds and seeds too were possible Now unlike store-bought plant protein powders this homemade powder isn't an isolate so the protein content won't be as concentrated as store-bought varieties manufacturers will often extract the starches and fiber from the plant protein used leaving a higher concentrated protein powder But unlike the commercial versions ours has the added benefit of extra fiber and nutrients that would have otherwise been removed If you do notice any discomfort after consuming this protein powder stop use immediately Sprouting however should help with this To make the protein powder start by grinding up the seeds first to make a flour I do this individually for each type of seed as it ensures I'm not left with chunks of individual seeds at the end So I'll first start with the four tablespoons of chia seeds blend that up then add it to a mixing bowl I'll then add the four tablespoons of hemp seeds blend and finally the quarter cup of flax seeds and blend that up to a fine flour and After each I'll make sure to add the flour to the bowl after blending I didn't have hemp seeds with me when I was making this video. So I subbed in some flower seeds instead Next I add a pinch of sea salt and a quarter cup of almond meal or blanched almond flour Or we can also use sunflower seed flour to make it nut-free to the mixing bowl and mix that through the seed flowers until well combined To give the protein powder some added flavor You can pour in a quarter cup to half a cup of cacao powder or carob powder for a chocolatey taste Once the ingredients are all mixed together I store the powder in an airtight container in a dark dry place. I usually store it in my pantry And I'll keep up to four weeks or you can store it in the freezer for longer To use the powder add two to four tablespoons to smoothies baked goods Nice cream a bowl of porridge or even add it to these no bake low carb protein bars Which I'll link in the description below and in the cards above When blending into a smoothie add the liquid first and the protein powder last to prevent the chia seeds from expanding in the liquid and becoming glowy And there you have it your very own homemade plant protein powder Let me know if you try this recipe or if you have another favorite protein powder that you make at home I'd love to hear about it. Thank you so so so much for watching this video Take care, and I'll see you soon again Sending you big hugs and lots of love


Okay, great. So I'm Karen Kangellosi and I wear many hats but I'm being sponsored by the Rios Institute that for which I'm a fellow which stands for the Institute for Racially Just Inclusive and Open STEM Education and I want to talk to you today about open science and many of you probably already know what open science is It's about sharing all the stages of the scientific research practice openly from your hypothesis formation through open putting your methods out there putting your data out there Publishing openly having open peer review and UNESCO has a little bit of a deeper analysis You probably can't read all of this but basically if you were to look closely they're talking about how open scientific knowledge is also connected to the need for scientific infrastructure Interaction with society more broadly and connection with other ways of knowing including indigenous knowledge And they talk about how open science is not about making sure is about making sure not only That scientific knowledge is accessible, but also that the production of that knowledge itself is inclusive Equitable and sustainable that that's the ideal So why do science openly often? You'll see a lot of things that are cited for why to have your science open and out there and again in this community You probably don't need a lot of convincing but Making scientific practice more effective by promoting interdisciplinarity Collaboration work across borders including physical borders increasing the range and extent of our knowledge Amplifying our collective intelligence, and I love this one increasing our cognitive diversity and that there can be a greater chance of breakthroughs Openness can be the sunlight that helps identify unethical behavior and questionable research practices and address the reproducibility crisis in research People often cite societal benefits more broadly that just the public has access to knowledge We can move science away from being dominated by commercial interests that we can increase public trust of science and scientists And so the question is you know if all of this great stuff is true about open science movement And the open science movement is not new. It's been around for decades. In fact Why is there the lack of the adoption of open science more broadly? Why is the majority of scientific practice in the world as it's conducted today still closed and Do and mostly directed towards private interest and there's a lot of different reasons for this Some people cite the lack of incentives for promotion and tenure We're just talking about that in the last few talks right a pressure for publication Quantity like you have to have a lot of publications to be recognized There's disinterest in negative results and results that aren't original if you're just going to reproduce the same kind of study Awards for individual superstars not for collaboration. In fact Fear of being scooped. I'm not going to put my idea that out there because you're going to steal it You're going to get the credit instead of me Right, we see where all this is going concerns about standards of research isn't good enough You're not going to follow the IRB process And in the words of no sec as a state like what's good for science Isn't necessarily good for the scientists career and and this is the problem, right? Like what is the system that we are perpetuating and so Along with this open science could actually exacerbate current systemic inequities not address them in spite of the fact that Equity is an often cited reason for why we should do science openly In fact cumulative advantage is a real thing if you're already successful as a scientist You're more likely to get that recognition and reward There can be abuse of women and scholars of color When data is put out there who's going to be more likely to have ideas taken advantage of Vulnerability of sharing data that's not good enough by those that haven't already been well established Open data can be used to invade privacy can take away rights. It can oppress others Open data can jeopardize Davis data sovereignty Vulnerability not just of humans, but of other non-human species of protected species populations and areas by making this Information available publicly it jeopardizes our our non-human relatives and so basically You know, why is there a lack of equity? Well, there's been a real lack of a thoughtful architecture for how these existing inequities in scientific research practice could be addressed in the transition to widespread adoption of open science and a lot of the A lot of the efforts to actually promote open science have almost entirely been aimed at Established scientists right who are the ones that have already been successful who are recognized who know how to play well in this system Who've been trained who've been indoctrinated in this system? And then we say give all that up and do your science openly and in fact it doesn't seem to be working too well because we don't see the widespread adoption and So I'm trying to make the case here is that in order to transform Scientific practice to be not just open but equitable socially just and in service of the public global good If this requires a real cultural shift Right like so what does it take to shift cultures? And so I'm making the case that what we need is a substantial Transformation in our systems of science education for undergraduates So I hope all the community college professors are listening to me because like where does most science education happen in those kinds of classrooms? and so, you know why am I saying we should target undergraduates and In in the words of Hanna who's a study by her and her colleagues that I'm gonna show to you in a minute Students who are our future scientists right not the ones already indoctrinated Have long been catalysts of social and political change right and so we need to think about how we make our classrooms Places where we can ignite our students to be those catalysts of social and political change and so Hannah and her colleagues actually When I went out there and said who's doing open science in undergraduate classrooms the only two real published studies I could find were both from Canadian institutions And they may be out there at other places in the world, but I couldn't find them and this this particular Excuse me this particular study, which is about fully implementing open science In terms of practice and values and how to do open science They they even followed this up by Surveying students at the end and say say how likely are you to do open science if you could? How much would you like to be able to do it and like 98% or more of all students in the two different studies said yeah We would love to be able to do open science, so I think you know being able to influence students is an important thing One of the things I also want to make a case for is that we need to connect our programs of open science with other movements in science education reform in particular about Decolonizing science education and also the transformation of science education to be directed towards sustainable development So William Kyle who wrote this study along with others have made the case that we have to we have to stop teaching Science in the standardized way that we do right now right like using grades and using standards and using this Universalism and there's only one way to learn and to do science is actually counter to what we need to be doing in the world to address global challenges and in fact Kyle makes the argument that our our science classroom should be entirely Directed at solving problems that humanity is facing like all of the time not a side project You know and I'm making the argument not like an open pedagogy side project But the crux of your classroom is about social change and we don't really have time right our planet is literally on fire and so youth are demanding action and Science educators ought to be able to enable learners and communities to transform and reinvent the world They are inheriting so just like Hannah He's making the argument that youth are making the call for change right and so why are we standing in their way? Why do we have the youthful energy and the hopes and dreams of people that want to change the world? Gretta Thurneberg and the like then we get them into college classrooms, and we say no wait a minute cool off Just so that you're not going to do that now you're going to memorize this stuff And so we're basically putting out instead of igniting the fire that we need our science students to be able to have and so again connecting with a Decolonizing scientific education nothing is going to change until we really think differently about why we're doing science You know and they're and they're talking about science education to actually combat The science for domination right and they write we argue that mainstream science education is Contaminated by neoliberal values and functions in the service of political domination and Exploitation and that a neoliberal and exploitative science education does not contribute to the building of a sustainable and just world And so you know I made this slide before I heard today's talk But it's like it's about braiding right like how do we bring together open science education? together with science education that's directed at sustainable development and social transformation again primarily almost entirely and Interbraid that with the decolonizing science education movement like this is what we need to do when we're thinking about How do we prepare our next generation of scientists? What is it that these scientists are going to do and so What I'm suggesting in the in the open education conference here is that open pedagogy can be that catalyst for Transforming science education Right how we can bring all of these ideas together we talk about these things all of the time in the open science I mean in the open education world. Why aren't we bringing open education and open science together more and therefore we can transform scientific practice and therefore we can actually Address these global problems that that we are facing as a society And so I'm just gonna give you a few examples because it's a lot of different ways of thinking about what open pedagogy looks like And again, I don't mean let's do a side project in open pedagogy But let's make that philosophy of open pedagogy about what your class is about Which is about letting students make choices of their own design about letting them decide what they think is important About them learning what they need to learn and allow them to actually Solve the problems that we all need to have solved because again We don't really have a lot of time and so domain of one's own is one place where we might be able to see this right? empowering learners to Interpret and speak and share from their own perspectives right especially marginalized learners like exhibiting that epistemic stance that Hodgkin Williams had talked about Um Wikipedia is an often cited tool of open pedagogy and I just wanted to point out like this example of an organization called whose Knowledge org and you should look them up because they're a global campaign to center the knowledge of marginalized communities And one of the tools that they're using is Wikipedia and Imagine like going in and looking at what they're putting up on Wikipedia How they're trying to use this the biggest OER in the world right like you can connect your classrooms with Projects that are already happening and connect this to your science education and frankly any other discipline that we're talking about Here's an example of some podcasts that were created by Carlos Gallier students at North Carolina State University where their students are talking about things online They're putting stuff out in podcasts You know this is that once open pedagogy open science and science communication and tools like these can also be connected to Citizen science and I just want to end with a quote from Catherine Diagnosia and Lauren Klein who wrote the book data feminism And teaching data like an intersectional feminist and they ask like what if we imagine teaching data And you can put science you can put human you put anything else in there What if we imagine teaching data as a place to start creating the connected collective caring world that we want to see so Thank you. Happy to answer questions How the heck we can do that and I and I'll say like I'm asking my own question how the heck we're gonna do all this Well, how are we not going to like what else are you gonna do?  Yeah, so the question is about like Not all of us are in context where we can just sort of take everything and throw it all out and start over And that sometimes we have to start so we have to add pieces in and you know I've gotten a little bit less patient in my older age of like yeah We've been starting so been adding pieces in and you know a decade or two has gone by and I get it like you can be in A precarious position, but not everybody is you know I want to I want to make a plea to those people that have privilege to leverage it Right like to take the situation that you're in and you know, we talk about accreditation boards We talk about promotion tenure standards and we're like we act as if those things were handed down to us from God Right like who writes promotion and tenure standards who creates accreditation boards? Like all of the humans that are us that are in this system that continue to perpetuate those systems So wherever you are in your career like when you get to the point where you got a little bit of power That's what I'm saying. That's when you need to intervene and stop and say no We're not gonna do this madness anymore because frankly we don't have time Speaking of time. Yes. Okay. Thank you very much
