OTAN, Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. So, have you guys ever used Google Docs? Anybody? Yes, perfect. So, you can do it for homework. You can find out right now that after COVID, we find that some people are still struggling with emotion and mental health. So, how are we doing? How are we feeling? Good or bad? That's fine. You can get a feel for the class or anything they need to, you know, just in general. So, I'm going to open my Google and this morning what I did is always check your tabs, always check your links, not only for presentations but for classes. Sometimes links are live and sometimes they're not. So, this morning, I have a Google account and I have multiples. One of them was not able to access CAHOOT. Also, it could be an issue sometimes. But the beauty of technology with QR codes and Google Slides and Google Slides is a way to create an opportunity for students to learn in-class, outside of class, or even when not in front of you. So, thanks for answering that survey. We're going to take a look at your answers and we're going to see how we are the same or how do we use some of those. So, if you look, a lot of times when we have some computer issues, a few weeks I work for Coronar Co-Universal District, the computers or the internet were not working, then most people do have access to their phone. A hotspot and all of that. So, the whole purpose of this presentation is what are we doing to enhance the learning? It really is not about the teacher, it's really about the student. And because they have their phones, in K-12, having a phone, not the best thing. I teach middle school right now. I teach Spanish and art. And although there are like this, this is a distractor. For adults, not the case. So, my whole, the whole presentation, I created a Google site to curate all the information that I have for you. So, my suggestion is I'm going to take you through this conversation through this journey. And everybody can hear me. Okay, in Zoom land. I'm going to share my screen so you guys can take a look at it. Okay. So, here it is. This is the Google site. So, you guys can take and have a look. So, I'm going to want to see, I'm going to move you guys to this side. Right here. Perfect. So, enhance learning. If you have a Google site, you have the opportunity to put videos on there directly attached to your Google site. So, if you want to watch a video, a little intro about the lesson, anything like that, you can put it on there. You don't have to look for it anymore. The presentation, PowerPoint presentation, you can click on it also there. A QR code. So, if you use your phone, and you scan the QR code, it will open up into Canva. And with your phone, you can follow along to the PowerPoint presentation. So, the PowerPoint presentation that I have, it's now it's on your phone. And you can take the learner, right? And you can go back and forth. Plus, it's in Canva. So, I can share it. I can make you an editor. So, if we're working together, what class do you teach? Perfect. So, I was teaching intermediate and advanced last semester. Let's say you have an amazing lesson on an EO civics topic. Share it with me. Now, we both go editors. I can add something to it. I have a video. The work is divided by half. So, here, you can click on that. And I don't know if you tell me if they are able to see this. This is your marketing, right? So, it could be a video about any of your lessons. It's right there and there. Again, I'll go back. That's there. I'll give you the slide presentation and the link to the presentation. And there it is. So, Google sites, when I start using it, I got to, you know, like we think like regular websites. So, what if you have a Google site for each of your EO civics courses or lessons? What if you have a Google site for a unit or a chapter?  It's already Canvas, anything is on there. So, the question that we're going to answer today, and most of you, you know the answer to this because we use technology. This is why we're here, right? How is technology changing education? People use this device more than anything else, more than the microwave, more than TV now. Kids don't even watch TV. They're on their phones. So, we're going to look at some of these things and I'm going to go quickly because I'm preaching to the choir. Am I right? You guys use technology. You know that this is good. So, importance of technology. So, I can also share this presentation. It could be something that you're doing for your class and you can share it with your admin. If you're trying to get some leverage of other people to have a technology team and you can create those lessons, create those Google sites, maybe start with one, get comfortable with what's available, how to add pages and take pages away, how to upload the links. But we're going to go through, say, have a virtual learning space. Some of us have access to Canvas. Some of us don't. So, Google Classroom works. The role of interactive technology, the benefits, the remote learning. And so, here's two things. Someone can read that for me. Anybody? The effect of technology on teaching and learning. So, here's the two things that go ahead and teach and learn. So, as you're learning, you can have the students intermediate and advanced. Here's the unit for next month. We're going to be talking about internet safety. Here's your assignment. Create a Google site about internet safety. Two or three pages. Have some YouTube channel, add a channel or a video, add a link. And so, they're working on the next unit that you're going to be teaching. And you create a Google site for the class. Not for you. But all of a sudden, it's available, right? They can work up together. So, here's what we find out pre-COVID, post-COVID. There are some things. This is wonderful. But you are the bridge. Learning cannot happen if you don't have a teacher. You can be online, you can be on site. You are the key. You really are. You have the best, the best technology. It doesn't matter. If you don't have a quality teacher, show good things. Here's some of the key things about the traditional world, right? Physical learning is interactive. People like to touch and feel, right? But you have limited access to materials, right? So, if you don't have the textbook, there's no learning. Well, now we have textbooks online. Teaching and learning, typical occurs in the person, classroom setting. What if you can record yourself, put the lesson online, and for those people that didn't make it, you don't have the textbook, right? So, these are things that technology gives you. Wider access. Can you teach 100 students? Yeah, you can. They can. Can you teach 200? We're looking at what if I can record my lesson, put it out there, and then the people that were not available, or they can watch it on Saturday and Sunday, turn the assignment, guess what? They did the Google slide. So, the steps, if you haven't done it to create your virtual classroom, or to be virtual environment, if you're going to do Google classroom, perfect. If you're going to use Canvas, perfect. If you're going to use a Google site, perfect. Think of it, I teach art. So, it doesn't matter how wonderful your art is. If you don't curate it, if you don't put it under the right light, if you don't frame it, it doesn't look as good. It's just kind of flat. So, the teachers, the students, your coworkers, whoever you're working with, even if it's with your students, they're giving you content and you're going to curate it and put it on Google sites. So, I love the Google site because it's going to frame your units. How many Google sites do you have? What kind of units do you have currently that you can say, oh, I can do a Google site on this and have all my content there available? What kind of, how do you see this? Oh, I would love to do it for this unit. What would be one? I support all the CT classes. Okay. I'm the ESL teacher from the CT classes. Perfect. So, we, I have it because I'm not good at it, but my colleague, that is better than I am, has supported me in creating a site. And so we have students so they can log into the respective teachers classrooms. We are their one stop shop website. Like I said, I look forward to mimicking her, which is why I'm here and she's not. She knows how to do it already. So I'm going to give you access to my, my Google site. And you can see the different links and how I placed it, even though it's only three pages. You'll be like, oh, we can just copy it. Take his stuff out for hours. So what does the beauty of having a lesson template? Right. You don't have to think. What type of unit do you think, oh, I can do this for this unit and have it available to my students. What are you thinking? I'm here just to work. So I'm a teacher. So I'm just going to do that. No problem. Well, it's a tricky question for me because our whole. All our courses are online. Perfect. We all. Awesome. Beautiful. So if you're ready here, some people are making a management system. Some people are already here. Just to, you know, create the content or choose the apps. You can choose the good news today. Yes, sir. A comment online says for ESL vocabulary on broader BSL unit of study. Perfect. With us what we did, we started with Google sites and then thought the students while in transition into Canvas, because it's pretty much the same. When we started just like what text and with vocabulary definition and then using activities for vocabulary. So, and then from there, we started putting all the units that were going to support the textbook that we're using, but we started with something simple like Google sites, which is easier to navigate and then transitioned into Canvas, which is a little bit more challenging because you have to log in and select here, select there. So once the students were comfortable with Google, which took us about a whole school year, then we transitioned the following year into Canvas because that's what they use at the community college. Absolutely. So it's a good stepping stone. It's a good way to kind of lead them on that direction and a way for you to keep things organized on the cloud. Right. As we upload pictures and do things that you can keep it all together. If you have an assignment, you can add it on here. Somebody was telling me yesterday, oh, but not everybody has access to a computer. Right. Why they cannot do the assignment or actual computer because they have issues blogging on. Well, if they have the assignment, right, and they can take a picture of the actual assignment and then they do a paper pencil and submit it, put it up there and then you can just read later on. I do have a lot of pictures of my students work online. I'll show you. And so they do take the picture of the actual document and send it to me. So the role of interactive technology and learning, there's different things that we can do. Obviously benefits to technology. We already know that it helps. It allows access. It helps teachers to connect it. So we, if you guys want to commit one, two, three, four, five, but the 10 of us, we can create a co-op. All right. Let's say we, we're doing intermediate advanced. What textbook do you guys try to use? We're using Burlington English for ESL advanced. Perfect. We have a lot of stuff that Burlington English already has those things. So if you want to put it in a Google classroom canvas, you can just put the links, right? So if you work on one session and add additional resources, all this is a great unit, but I can add this vocabulary worksheet or I can add this video. Perfect. So we can create a co-op and then work on one lesson each with this, at least one video link, at least one activity, so that's, you know, a reading comprehension piece, maybe a writing assignment, and then you have those five, 10 things that you decided that you were going to have available. So here's some of the reasons, right? It allows more personal learning. Some students can go faster. Some can go slower. Engagement. Yesterday, the keynote was saying, it's not about, it really is about engagement. How many students are really involved in their learning? Remote learning is a new norm. We know that. If you ask me, I would love to teach online. I've been, I was, my schedule since I started teaching has been, I leave at about six, seven o'clock in the morning, each and morning, K-12, and then I have a little room of break. Hopefully, sometimes it's time to eat. And then I go to work at a current or go about two, five to nine. So I leave at six, get a home around 10. And I've been doing that for about 25 years. I didn't know any different because most of us that have those schedules, even when you're doing your master's, even when you're going to school after, you know, to, to continue your own personal growth. I never had the opportunity to be home. So with COVID hit, all of a sudden, I thought, wow, having breakfast and teaching, having access. I am a traditional teacher. School saved my life. I came to the United States when I was 15. Early USD. Ojito chicken, that you know him through story. I thought I knew English. Because I took English. I took English to school, which is paid school. So when you pay for your schooling in Mexico, it's, you know, I had trigonometry in middle school. But I did take English classes two years. Middle school, six, seven and eight. They gave me the assessment. Is that you're ready for them to start? What's your name? I love it. I don't have to live in the country. Two months. Do you speak in English? Question number one. Do you have any favorite hobbies? What do you like to do for fun? Blue pink purple door window pencil. Okay. I saw the first person giving me the test writing all kinds of notes. So I know it's impressive. Next question. What are your favorite foods? What word do you like to eat? Table window house. What is your favorite place to stay? I like to stay at home. That dog. She kept writing. Third question if there's anything any place you can travel in the world, where would you like to vacation? Okay Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday. January. So I gave her a list of vocabulary words. And then we finished the assessment. Great. like it was the literacy level and I couldn't believe it because a lot of us that come from other countries learn vocabulary right but we don't know we don't know how to attach it to me or how to use it in context so we are walking dictionaries did that help me yes but I was super frustrated because I was in zero level negative one literacy well after going through high school in four years what happens when somebody is really eager to learn right and it has the right tools my teachers four years later AP classes honors chemistry and obviously I was able to go to college four years later I remember my last year in my VA when I did a little study finally I was learning in CalPS not VIX CalPS seven years in the language seven years in the country bio and I actually understood everything the teacher was saying took seven years right to learn the academic language and to acquire learning like most of us do not so it was incredible two masters degree later and all this knowledge all why am I telling you this long story all of a sudden I was home during COVID and I in fact in a scene said I am a brick and more I my life I owe it to teachers these are teachers that care about me to care of me push me every day and bring in more schools the physical space the four walls this is my temple my century this is what saved my life as an educator that's a suit for me to be a traditional teacher and to say that you can do the same or better online and I believe it and I see it why because my own kid when I was doing doing conferences pre-COVID and I was going up north and south and because I was an admin and I was sharing the what I thought technology can do in the future my principal was going nuts because my back then he was seven oh my gosh all this strength is you're always taking him out of school so I put him online before COVID I looked for a charter school that was online they've been doing it for 20 years and guess what COVID hit it didn't matter they've been doing it for 20 years all content my kid didn't have to do math after recess he can do math with that at night on Thursday 7 o'clock he can do on Sunday Judith's name is now 10 he's here with me but he's in the hotel he's like that I know my teacher puts all the assignments on canvas on Sunday what if I do all my vocab all my spelling the facts that you know that the busy work that they again and again and again so you get the knowledge ready the sakes and cap what if I do all that and then on the on the weeks that I connect and during the week I just do like the things I need help you mean he was learning 24-7 he was learning 24-7 no more of that time and space I feel like I said he was mc2 no more we were not defined by time or space anymore we can learn on the way to San Francisco in the car because we have a hotspot and you can connect we can talk about books it's online the teacher and he's thriving and he's doing really well because he doesn't have to do math after recess yes the social aspect but guess what most of us modern parents he's in karate he's in soccer we take them to they do more than their schedule is the man incredible how do how do the things I never got to do I always tell my wife is a household joke that we go oh remember when we were kids and they used to send us for camp for I'm Mexican they want to let you go to the 70 land around the corner without anyone you know so here it is technology is an effective tool if you don't learn anything and we have you don't and this is us techies it's something that we continue to share even with other teachers even with the traditional teachers like myself even with admin because although we use it you know we purchase computer right we thought we're going to use technology here we go kids ah no all of a sudden we were opening the book and doing everything the same but on here so it's not about doing things the same it's about enhancing the learning right so having access to different things global markets improving quality I went to a session yesterday first time I ever seen ck 12 it's online curriculum for free as an administrator because I was the dean of adult ed I grown up high and I went back to the classroom normal story but the reality is I wanted to get connected with students again and so in admin I thought what if you didn't have to buy books all the money I can say I can hire two or three teachers because I had just purchased myself I was in charge of high school diploma and equivalency thousands of dollars of books that are still stored on cabinets and I don't want to I don't even want to look for that receipt because I know we spent a thousand and all of a sudden we needed a PDF form for the credit recovery kids and we had to scan hundreds of books so technology great blended learning great right greater investment in interactive technology so here's a quote not mine so you have to believe anything I say but we need technology in the classroom it's no longer like that all it would be cool to have and it has to be interactive so the experience of imagine if you can actually learn different languages imagine if we had the technology on hand to watch it last to learn a language to submit homework to interact with the teacher imagine if we can come up with something about the size of this and use the term we don't have to imagine it because we have these are the keys right so now here's the beauty so this is the content obviously we're going to discuss some questions in the q&a but thanks for listening to that little you know it's a little bit empowering to talk to other teachers but obviously there's some empty seats and still at your school you have some traditional teachers those teachers haven't hit you for 30 years how would you use technology when I'm ready well guess what it's time because now we have to do any adoption for Spanish I'm not interested on the books I don't have room for it so I would love to have something that's available on their phones or online better and I can send it to the parents so this presentation it's on there and I gave you way I mean people want to know research a lot of times when your administration gave me the backing what do you think this is important there's research on everything I said and everything you do so you can look it up about and I have activities here's the best part for students here's the website student survey here it is you click on there you submit the survey right so this is a survey that you guys just did what apps do you use in the classroom this just give me this popcorn anybody absolutely using classroom apps or website yeah anything okay or fine for interaction the oldest library the new le okay perfect birdie and english us they learn great jambore jambore cahoots burnison our teachers use edgy newy and asda who's the classroom for beautiful show right so how does technology value so it's not about replacing its adding value right here you have a beautiful artwork now we're going to print now we're going to make it stand out classrooms and school what areas of teaching can you enhance with technology anybody what do you mean oh everything can make it can your website be I mean can your site be better yes lessons activities so I know that if we create a lesson the 10 of us before like let's say we have 20 30 minutes I stopped this section and we'll work on our lesson would it be amazing it would be better than anything you can do like so I learned that many years as an administrator you've got to get out of the way those techies like she said you don't want a woman I'm not really good at it but that's what you need whoever follows that sentence but the name fill in the black there's some people that love technology that's it okay just give it to me to put it online it's there it's ready so comments and questions you can put it on there and then if you have any more in the chat you can share it says from orientation to transitioning from our programs we use technology even for registration we use connectable platforms but yeah registration sometimes that's the first entry point the student to the school online registration right remember um we use a viewer for our registration so we actually carried around and I was out of my phone on my business card out of that electronic business card that has a QR code so if I'm ever on the soccer field and I'm like oh you want to take ESL classes scan this register right now on the spot on the spot wonderful yeah talk about great hey I'm the soccer coach in the middle schools and I just gave me an idea exactly I'll be like I'm gonna set up a table put you know I'm gonna earn it with us because I have two hats right I have the baseball and the adult and half so it's never and guess what you can have this right I have a question about your QR code is that something that your organization has created or it's yours as an instructor it's the so I'm a very educated I'm not a teacher okay so I I have a lot of hats our classes our school is only 400 people three to four hundred students so because of that I've done teaching I've done a little bit of everything so I created the QR code for the school and so it's the link is our registration we have two one for genie home for ESL okay so it's very different programs but it is for everyone yeah word soccer field is it oh nothing california how about you word soccer field uh so for me it's super late super late we we don't make it there but we can sit up it's a really super late some work on referring oh yeah one more yes it's huge yes do you go by there well yes that's a longer story okay awesome so so think about it if you have the QR code for different things and and it access to this website all of a sudden you're like wow and it could be for your own classroom some of these students in advanced level cte okay cte who's here for cte somebody said okay perfect um it is web design and great create great creation is this something that pays people or okay is there money in technology with this kind of thing absolutely right so create a pathway and here's the project you are to create a website for the school you are to create a website for this for the nursing program for the healthcare pathway for this for that and they do it it's their project they're learning and you get a website at the end of it that you can potentially use or not right um uh technology for breaks yes somebody do you want a message also a program I believe it's called connectable it generates a qr code enables mass texting mass emailing single student communication we keep student files and updates in there too we keep attendance and connectable test scores everything for students is stored and available in connectable connectable that way we also for mass emailing mass texting we use remind at my school site uh which is mainly just for text and okay two-way communication of one-way communication so let's let's look up connectable have you used it right for remind for the student we uh it could be student to student the way each teacher sets it up with remind it could be student to student I have it set up me to them them to me um but you can customize it so and and here's my goal for the whole presentation it's to bring educators and technology together to enhance the learning whatever you take out of this uh break breaks when we used to come in for recess in fifth grade they turn off the lights put some music for your head down right and sometimes that work well now with that you have technology you have brain videos you have all kinds of videos uh you can have a cahoot right and so um do you guys care for any of those um one two three or four what what do you think we what do you guys want to play two two okay let's see that's going to bring out the code you can log in with your phone and we'll just play a couple and you can do it for content right have you played a cahoot I have do you like it yes great right so anybody who wants to join in just so we can test it out I just love it when it's all there and it actually works so the lanes were like not working that morning but and then we can just get started I'll join in just just for the following Sam I have to give myself props okay it hasn't been easy raising kids and being a full-time teacher and going to school and I'm not even gonna talk about my female parts because that's like nice too you get all the freedom and all the quality plus um what do you have to do at home no comments on that all right let's just get started I know some of you can join in and the good thing is it will show the code up here so let's just get started so we can play a few all right and and I haven't even seen it so it's fair I counted movie quotes ready two three one read and complete the following sentence okay click next yeah I didn't see it oh maybe the oh maybe the force oh I'm sorry no two everybody answer did I give you guys it's pretty much oh it yeah oh yeah right oh that was hard that was hard congratulations teacher how did you feel okay all right okay next look at us anybody wants to take a picture this is I never seen this before I never seen this before okay next okay oh period no period should I capitalize is there an accent you know but this is because if any activities we want students to be able to see like especially for hyphen all right and sometimes the answers are both similar yeah that they let's see who answered first of course we'll be probably they may have said at all okay one more and then we'll move on because we're gonna run out of time oh okay let me open it up one second sorry I never forgot to put that in no did we get is everybody in yeah congratulations well got it right Marcy you should have seen our first one we got it wrong all of us we're united together at least we do it so obviously great great great right great way to learn grammar way better I play cahoots with my students I teach Spanish one there's some great cahoots and honestly they don't even know that they're learning Spanish because if I give them the vocabulary words oh what we're doing vocabulary again but if we pay them a cahoot especially the cognates especially look what I love to do cognates for them because oh how do you say talk when you're sitting right down my way and because you know I said okay here first day of school Spanish that's it rose time it is time to be able time to have money time that close and right there are Spanish words anyways so I'm gonna close it that's the cahoot so my activities I write on there are they still looking at the right thing yes perfect and then quick videos here's a video right they need so this video talks about technology I'm gonna stop it so there's a video and so here on the website I put in some information about me coronan oracle and coronan oracle adult school he's my here's my email at district and at UCR and so if you want to send me hey I was working with this lesson I know I had you had your template can you share it with me so you can send me an email and I'll share you share my template with you if you want to use it there's only three pages I only have three things on there simple it could be for a week if you want to use it for a week in Spanish we talk about one of the lessons is about things around the classroom so it could be just that website for just things about around the classroom education for life right so that's my saving grace is my model is what I do is what I went and I put the map just in case you didn't know where you were and I put some other sample activities that you can do so here's our vocabulary review you guys want to take a look we have a few minutes all right I'm going to go quick because you saw the PowerPoint and the PowerPoint is nice but we're talking with the kitchen fridge into the fire right so here it is flashcards do we like flashcards great way to learn quiz it you guys made it right perfect so singular okay so let's see next that's 207 we're going to go only through 100 okay so enough any right so vocabulary um let's participate pay check money that's okay I'll take money income keep our work money for work so and and here's the best thing what if it's wrong it really isn't because they're connecting they're new around there thinking money what do I know about this here it is right it's official a check receive or complete some of us don't receive checks anyone yes this is something that I've seen quizlet never really used it though right and you send the student the link and then they have their vocabulary you can send them the link you can create your own quizlet specific to your vocabulary quizlet is like a session on itself each quizlet they have a user because the wonderful thing about quizlet quizlet there you can do the flashcards you can do the learn where do they learn the vocabulary you can do that pass I love the test sometimes they just copy and paste and put it on the desk they can do the test and they can match it which one you guys want to choose one for quick based on the cards that you have cards yeah quizlet creates a yes uh yes I like it match what do you guys want to do do the side test I want to do the test okay let's do a test uh shoot hopefully it goes quickly because you do have I try to have everything signed in and if it doesn't work sorry okay perfect I think it did bye go away got it did you do it did you do it no okay it's thinking I know it's going to space and back so we'll give it some time this mess okay something is wrong choose your answer false false okay next one go up true true okay uneasy or anxious true okay we don't need to print this we could they can just do it so if you have one of these these are going to be great for the future you should get stopped by stocks or any of this that's the way of the future so what what what he said I didn't even read it true okay true all right not somebody said awesome thank you wherever you are thank you true true true oh matching vile nice alien alien well this is an important I know people don't like it we can talk about it let's have a social conversation about that word and what does it mean right is it correct this is incorrect right okay okay

comprehension and all that burnt in english something that we use thank you again for the opportunity to be here with you i hope you took something that you can use i would use a google site to curate my materials per lesson per unit and that way it's available and this is not mine i actually got the idea from our system principle they just walked in she shared something for real civics and i thought what if i put my whole presentation for today on a google site i had this stuff i just have to curate it so that's something that i learned so thanks for being open to learning some new stuff hopefully you got some good uh links for you and we're going to finish that if we have any comments on the chat so uh peg said awesome session powtune is easy to use for teachers we've had our hsc students make presentations on it so student presentations using technology uh also peer teaching sometimes with burning in english like you said you know the students self teach and they help other students in the classroom in that lesson so it's like my role is more of the facilitator i'm letting them you know teach and they'll probably learn better from each other than from me talking for two hours point of thought but you know that's a great point that you said you know with with uh technology students can self teach yeah yeah sometimes and they're somewhere some of our students are really really tech savvy i let them take over i'm feeling it's that um it's somewhere too messy he can do amazing things is he a good coach we don't know we don't do amazing things so a good coach a good teacher it's what they can get the students to do how they can get the students to work together to access the material and be successful not what you know look at me on a big show right and that's and that's what we want to get you want to get out of your way you're great i'm sure and you have great ideas and great lessons work together make them better and share with other teachers because you'll be surprised it's almost like paying that forward if you create a lesson and share with others by the time it comes back to you it's going to be ten times better so here's my last uh gift for you before the class here's some of the things that you should do that most of us do and during the class you share the lesson you work with them here's the best piece for me always have the time to reflect take the time to say oh that worked that didn't work this this presentation i'm going to do it our consortia um we have a yearly training so teachers and other students can create their own google sites and then you can do it for pictures you can do it for family terms you can do it for different things have those things outside the box you can do it for coaches and every coach can have their own page anything so again thank you for being here with me uh it's been wonderful


That was part of measures to deliver real-time, detailed and accurate travel information to the public. The Lagos State Governor, Babajideh Somalou, has inaugurated the live-camera of this project initiated by Lagos Traffic Radio 961 FM. Now Governor Somalou, who was represented by the Commissioner for Transportation, Ulwashi Usiyemi, described the information as significant as it is a statement or testament to the present administration's commitment to drive governance and all the sectors through technology. The Governor, correct leader, the management and staff of Lagos Traffic Radio for their commitment to the station's mandate and to charge them to ensure our judicious deployment of the newest innovation to the benefit of the people. The use of technological tools has become imperative in a modern city like ours with high and increasing population. The Lagos Traffic Radio live-camera infrastructure for live feeds being commissioned today is therefore an addition to the pool of technological driven initiatives adopted by this administration to enhance free flow of traffic in the metropolis. This infrastructure would address challenges ranging from latency of collated traffic reports in accurate description of the updates that are last month's triggers and the ever-changing dynamics of the traffic situation which still subsists in spite of the several accomplishments of the station. Feeds from the digital camera will help the station commence live-camera traffic updates which would enable real-time traffic voltage as shown live from the cameras situated at strategic locations in the states. It is going to go a long way in easing traffic management in Lagos. The cameras have been connected to 300 routes and that I think is no joke at all. What it means is that this mass city project that Mr. Bairdeson will promise is becoming a reality. So right inside the office of Traffic Radio you can view 300 routes. You can tell the listener what is going on, how he can plan his journey so that he doesn't run into the congestion that we often see on some of the routes. So 300 cameras showing 300 roads in Lagos for me is a big deal.


My family is a big fan of beer and in fact a big fan of hoppy beer and so I'm in the XObrew booth with Bart van de Kui. I got it. He's Dutch and we've been practicing the pronunciation here and you've got some an interesting product here that looks like maybe do something at home. What are you working on here? Yeah what I'm working on is XObrew. It's a company like a compact device with a unique technology and we basically have a cloud-based platform where you can download unlimited recipes. That means you can brew 1.6 gallons of beer or kombucha or ciders and it's ready in three to 30 days. Oh wow so describe this device we're looking at here. Yeah the device what's here on the right of me so basically it's one brewing device. It has a copper kettle. It has an transparent meshed on that's what we call it and on top you have a cylinder where you put in the hops and basically what the brewing process looks like you put the water in the copper keg then you put the mesh in and the hops on top. It circulates so it meshes it boils it cools down and then when you're done with that you need to put a lid on the keg and then it starts fermenting. You can add the yeast when after the fermenting it's done that could be three or thirty days depends on the recipe and you can tap it from the same keg. We make brewing simple you don't need any experience just your creativity but we do want people to feel the real ingredients so we supply people with a brew pack you have 15 different styles from alcohol-free to IPA, stout beers, sour, whatever you like but if you don't want to do a brew pack and you want to do your own thing you can have a subscription on our system it can create your own recipes you can clone other recipes you can make your own twist if you this one that we have here on the right to get to the hop off.  I've got to describe this to the audience here is the box says get to the hop off and it's a a stylistic representation of someone who might look like Arnold Schwarzenegger he's got he's got the machine guns but it's actually shooting hops out of it. It's a great logo that's a great great line there so that's New England IPA if we were if you were to buy get to the hop off that's what you would be making would be the New England IPA. Yeah that's that's one of the recipes that we offer it's a New England IPA can be done in two weeks so four to five hours brewing and then fermenting is two weeks and then you can tap the beer. Wow that's pretty cool so do you you buy the the the I forgot the name of the product EXO brew and then you subscribe to get these recipes or what's the model yeah the plan is right now because we we started in Europe maybe that's my Dutch name from we sold 5,000 units in Europe that's quite a lot and that's why we now in the US trying to expand here the goal is to offer a beer subscription so you get each week or each month depending on your frequency you get how much you like it how much you like it how many cakes you have and then on the other hand we offer a pro subscription and that means you have access to a library we have about 13,000 recipes there from other users you can either create your own or clone the recipes tweak it and then order your own ingredients from your local shop and then brew it on the EXO brew that's so that's nice so you've got all the different variations you might want and so how much well is this available today then we're taking pre-orders in the US right now okay and shipping in 224 end of the year oh towards the end of the year in 2024 okay and what's your price point going to be on the EXO brew starting is from 8.79 I'm saying starting because most people buy an extra cake it's an extra 300 dollars or buy a second or third one kids the brew kids are 25 dollars starting from is not bad at all no that's great you make 1.6 gallons so that's an afternoon's beer right he said the price already how much is it oh how much to make 1.6 gallons yeah 1.6 gallons on average so like I said about an afternoon's beer right yeah yeah yeah preserves sometimes we get that question as well but most people drink 1.6 gallons at some friends and it's gone in a couple of hours but let's say you drink it by yourself at the the cake hasn't cooling at the back and then it preserves the beer up to three months when it's in the EXO brew yeah you need to keep it in inside the vessel it cools and heats so the basically depends on your home temperature your room temperature what what it needs to do so the size of this thing I'm going to estimate it what is that about three and a half feet three feet at tall maybe a foot and a half wide and maybe two three feet deep something like that so it's maybe not countertop but it's bigger than it's bigger than your kitchen device let's call no brands but we have people that put it in the kitchen yeah oh I can definitely see that yeah in a den or hobby room sure all right well this is very cool so if people want to get involved then they want to find out about EXO brew where would they go yeah you would go to exo brew calm and then on the website you can find everything perfect Bart I really enjoy this this is this is very cool it sounds like a lot of fun


Hello my darling extraterrestrials. I am Kim. This is Dustmotes in Velikor and this is my May wrap-up video. I read nine books this month and last month I read nine books and everybody was like Kim that's a lot of books and I'm like it's not enough books and they're like still it's a lot of books so I need to adjust my yardstick except I did set a Goodreads goal and I'm not I'm behind on my Goodreads goal so okay we're setting the crisis I made up in my head aside and we're moving on to the books. First up was Tests of the Road by Rachel Hartman. Can we take a minute to appreciate that cover art? They made a mountain range look like a dragon and I love it. This is not quite a sequel to Seraphina and Shadow Scale but it's in the same universe. It's about a different character. Seraphina's half-sister Tests has always been the bad one. One of her aunts, I think. One of her relatives calls her the devil child. Raised in a household devoted to Saint Vitt, a misogynistic font of vitriol about how women should act. Tests was curious about the world outside her home and apparently curiosity is the height of impropriety. She makes the wrong friends and she's in the process of living with her mistakes when her family decides that it's time for her to enter a nunnery. Tests decides otherwise she leaves and that's not nearly as simple as it sounds. This book is a very interesting and nuanced conversation on indoctrination and how it can take a lifetime to heal the wounds that your family has caused. This book is a heavy one. Please look up any content warnings that might affect you. Be safe. Also I would like to mention that I really enjoy the way Rachel Hartman will go on whole page tangents about linguistic shifts between languages that she created. Well done, nerd. An Ember in the Ashes by Sabata here. I did not know there was another book coming out. This book was placed in front of me at the library. I read it and then I read the second one and now I need the third one. Anyway, Lyah is a slave and a rebel spy and Elias is an elite soldier on the verge of desertion. It looks at the political turmoil of the martial empire, which is exactly what it sounds like. And there's a prophecy and you can't forget the jinn are coming back. So there's a long dormant vein of magic running through this world and I just I love it so much that I'm having trouble describing it. Grace and Fury by Tracy Bang Hart. Bangert. I don't know how to pronounce that one but this is the first arc that I received from my haul at Yaw West, which was wonderful by the way. This is about two sisters who live in a country where the superior's consorts called graces are chosen by a nationwide pageant. Only the most beautiful, the most elegant, the most demure rise to the top. Except these traits are only touted to keep women in their place. It is illegal for a woman to know how to read. They may not own property, they have no voice and the highest position to which they may aspire is that of grace. This book follows two sisters each on their own path and when their places are abruptly switched they have to learn to adapt to the consequences. The Prince and the Dressmaker by Zhen Wang. This one is bright and brilliant and I adore it. It's a graphic novel. I read it in like two hours and it is so beautiful. Oh my goodness. Prince Fashion has a secret. He loves wearing women's gowns. He feels the most confident and the most himself when he is the height of fashion. So he seeks out a new young designer, Francis, to make him fantastic gowns and costumes and he takes Paris by storm as the fashion icon Lady Crystallia. The Prince and his Dressmaker become best friends and the world is looking a little bit brighter when things start getting complicated. This is a fabulous romp about friendship and being true to yourself and I really can't recommend it enough. An Assassin's Guide to Love and Treason by Virginia Boat Ecker. This is the second book from the Arch Hall and it doesn't come out until October but I guarantee you it's worth the wait. In Elizabethan England Lady Catherine's father is killed by the Queen's men for A. his Catholic faith and B. Treason. Catherine escapes into the night and disguises herself as a boy fleeing to London to inform her father's co-conspirators of his demise and to join their plot. They're going to assassinate the Queen. Toby is a spy in the Queen's service and has been since he was very young. Catholic grumblings as they put it have been getting louder of late and it's his idea to stage a new Shakespeare play to weed out any would-be assassins. It's an intricate dramatic occasionally hilarious and rather poignant story of love and well treason. A Torch Against the Night by Sabata here. It took so long to get this one from the library I had to put it on hold and it took forever. I read three books between reading the first one and the second one. This one is more about a quest and self-discovery and I'm not gonna lie there's a bit of genocide going on in there. Seriously the third one comes out on June 12th and I am so psyched. Arusha and the End of Time by Roshni Chakshi. My full review is here. Here. I don't know if you can see where I'm pointing because I've put the title I've put the cover here. This one is a middle grade reader in the vein of Percy Jackson and the Olympians but with girl protags and Indian mythology and a whole heck of a lot of semi non-human sidekicks. Enjoy. Queens of Innisfree by Tessa Gratton. Again check the cards for my full review. The three daughters of the King of Innisfree find themselves at odds when their father begins to lose his mind. This is an intricate nuanced story about sisterhood and what it takes to rule. Last one. Traders Game by Jennifer A. Nielsen. Kestra Dallasaur has lived in exile for the last three years. Reportedly for her own protection but mainly it's because her father can't stand her and she keeps getting kidnapped. Summoned home at last and not at all happy about it. She is waylaid by a band of rebels who need her help to overthrow the oppressive Lord Enderic. He's immortal so that might be a bit of a problem. The rebels are not morally pristine either. They hold her servant hostage as insurance for Kestra's good behavior. Simon and Trina, two rebels with very different motivations, are placed in her service instead to watch her make sure she complies and to kill her if she does not. This one is interesting plot-wise and I'm going to read the sequel but I did end up giving it three stars because it's not very compelling and the romance starts way too early but if it sounds like your cup of tea then go for it. That's it. Those are the nine books I read in May. I've got to get the average back up. I have high hopes for June. What are you reading right now? Please come talk to me in comments about books. Abieto!


Hello everybody and welcome to City Talk. I'm Marlee Drum with Columbia Animal Services and wanted to share with you that June is Adopt a Shelter Cat Month and to honor that we're participating and it's for adult cats anything a year older. We are actually adopting out for only ten dollars and for that ten dollars you get not only an awesome cat but it's already spayed or neutered. It's microchip. It's vaccinated. We've tested them for feal and chymion aids and the idea of course this time of year is we're getting covered up with kittens and just cats in general so we want to get as many out the door as fast as we can during this time to keep the shelter from coming overcrowded. So this is a special month for cats and we hope folks will come out and adopt one and for ten dollars you can't beat a deal like that not to mention you're getting a forever friend. So come see us at Columbia Animal Services. We're at 127 Humane Lane right off of Sharp Road 977 or just give us a call at 776-7387. It's such an easy process to adopt you just come down to the shelter you take a look around sometimes the cat will choose you and you don't even have to choose your cat and literally with after about 10 or 15 minutes with paperwork you are leaving with your cat because the cats you're viewing are the ones we've already spayed and neutered microchip so they are ready to go right there and then so I always tell people the hard part is picking out the one you want because there's so many to choose from but like I said often that cat will choose you first so the cool thing about adopting a shelter pet and particularly a cat this time of year since we have so many with all the kittens being born is as part of the old saying goes is you're actually saving two lives the cat that you're taking from the shelter and the space you're making available for the next one so we get this crowd that's time of year obviously we don't want to euthanize anything due to space so if you are coming to adopt a cat or thinking about getting a cat always think about getting a shelter cat first because you truly are helping with the ones out there that truly need homes and you know in any community it's always good to go to a shelter and ours in particular we're getting so close to being a pet safe community we really want to reach that goal and that's just one small way that our citizens can truly help us out and I shouldn't say a small way it's a huge way to help us out because you're saving a life


you've had how many sexual partners nearly 200 and of those nearly 200 what percentage would you say has a legitimate chance of a meaningful relationship with you 5% of those same women who have slept with you what percentage of those do you think see you as relationship material probably none nah to be honest because all right so I just finished recording another video I thought I would pop in to give you an introduction to this video you're about to watch which is a part of my podcast lovers and friends this is episode 23 called you're dating out of your league featuring Harry Jowsy from Too Hot to Handle who I met when I was the workshop facilitator on that show with him and you're also going to see a third segment a little little piece of it which you can listen to the entire 55 minute long podcast on anywhere you get podcasts like Apple or Spotify but here is what I think an interesting part of the conversation is which really highlights why some people think there's a very big difference between what they want out of dating and what they're getting there is like a maybe it's like a trophy element or like hey like I slept with this guy that was on a Netflix show like when they turn the show on with their friends they're like oh I fucked him I think maybe there's a not trying to pump up my ties but we were on a pretty big show so like I think that maybe there's an element to like like that like I legitimately there was this one girl who's it who's been around the scene a little bit and this was as the show was air or it wasn't as it was airing it was like a couple months after but I was still trying to figure out the reins and I met her at a party I was like wow she's so gorgeous she's like my type we we had amazing chemistry so I got a number in the next day I was like violently hung over she was like oh like let's do something like well I'm not going out of bed so unless you want to come over and tell me I'm beautiful and like poke my head so I feel better than and that's the only thing I can give you today she comes over we start watching a movie you end up having sex and I was like hey should I get you some water do you want any water anything she's like yeah sure I go get water I come back fully dressed and she had a sip of water and I was like where are you going she's like oh well I got what I wanted so I'm leaving and then never saw her again but I think that I've definitely been with people where it's been like someone that I was seeing in the last year she was she was telling me to give her an allowance and I was like come on man like I'm not just gonna give you an allowance because you're with me like that seems so transactional and that I have to pay you to be around and I don't want to do that it's really really bizarre so I I really don't know like who's around me for what reason until kind of like after they go well anecdotal question because last time I saw you you were telling me about this girl who used to date your friend and then you had a sexual relationship with them yeah because you were like I think you deserve to have you know just this release after all that stress that you've been through and you actually saw this person as like I think I want something with them yeah so where did that end up I think she's back to sleeping with my friend so you were just yeah person for a good time yeah I think I was just a person for a good time and also like it put like a lot of unnecessary trust issues like straight off the bat so it's probably good for it to end there but I'm pretty sure he was sleeping with her again because he brought her up randomly I don't know where so much so maybe you guys good for each other so then you were the person that basically helped her to heal I think I'm good luck Chuck I think have you seen that movie you haven't seen that movie good luck Chuck whoa whoa whoa whoa you're a lucky charm you have sex with someone and then they find their true love isn't that how it works has everybody lost their minds that's ridiculous maybe I am him it sucks but it's happy I'm happy for everyone else because it's fascinating because I know your relationship with Francesca and I know that there was a very public breakup and it was painted that you were the cheater later you shared that that was not the case and that if anything like you were the one who was portrayed in that relationship yeah so my automatic instinct after hearing this like these all these poor hairy stories because of my conditioning of one I speak to mostly women and two my experience is not that like all there's these really good-looking successful dudes who all they want is love and they just keep meeting all of these fuck girls and man I'm the problem I want to tell you that my conditioning says you are I not look I think that I probably am somewhat the problem and probably more inviting to situations that are straight off the back gonna be unstable are pretty sure what does that mean I think that like maybe my type or maybe people or situations that I'm like accustomed to or that attract me aren't gonna like aren't fulfilling or aren't what I need to stay in like a solid like meaningful relationship like maybe dating influences that are critiqued like on their looks and have to compete with other pretty girls like that are always on edge like maybe I'm just setting myself up to fail fill the blank for me dating is a big lesson a huge lesson yeah I think dating dating you learn so much about yourself and other people but most importantly I think like when you start reflecting and like looking back like what's the common problem me what am I doing what I'm what's going on I think you learn so much about yourself but other people and what you're into what you don't like because I think for the past year like I really wanted a girlfriend I really want a relationship but now I'm like if it's the right person the right time it will happen but what made you really want a girlfriend in a relationship I just think having a best friend and waking up and just having someone that wants to go do shit and wants to go and like live life and enjoy enjoy stuff and and be out and about and go to the beach and what not I found that a lot of my friends usually hung over and like don't want to do too much and I don't really like get too much enjoy but I join me now to like waiting around for people I want someone that was like just spontaneous and just to have someone in my corner and someone that can back me and support me and and be and I do the same for them but again like I just think my my schedule they come up at 5 30 every day it's pretty selfish but I want someone that's like can compliment my time and compliment me if someone just wants to move in today without even like getting to know each other and then we just build our schedule out it's probably good just like move in with me from that sounds like a healthy pivot yeah they want what we pretty much did all the show like just moved it together work out for you it was fun and it was a lesson a beautiful lesson it was a beautiful lesson yeah and what is more of what you want what is more of what I want is like meant mentally stimulating I think that's something that I haven't like I'm not trying to talk poorly on Instagram models but they're not mentally stimulated like so some of them are but like they're not mentally stimulating and like I again like I got these events the same people then have a couple drinks and like I've seen you around like let's let's go have this my hanky-panky and see how we go but I think yeah what I'm searching for is someone that like has drive has ambition and it's just like super super super just mentally stimulating and just light hearted there is a sector of accomplished women who are looking for exactly what you're looking for do you think that you're just not meeting those women because you're only you know again looking at like maybe celebrity or social media type women I don't think of my bubble has let me walk into meeting people like that I think because of living in LA and like being in like influencer events like you kind of only butt heads with people that are in a similar career and I guess I haven't given myself an opportunity to like maybe step out or go and try something different but I was saying that not successful enough because I look at like I don't know like people that are obviously higher up the ladder and like doing a lot better I'm like damn like maybe I need to to work a lot harder to be able to be even seen in being the same like I line as these people so maybe I don't know maybe I'm just sitting like crazy too high standards for myself or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough maybe I need to go to like Texas and like meet a little like cowgirl right because I'm thinking it's like either the issue is that in terms of the dating pool that you're in and the women that you're dating you're not the top tier dude which sounds terrible to say because you're top tier dude but maybe they're looking for somebody who has more X whatever X is and then maybe the women that are in your pool you don't even meet because you're only like going after celebrity type women yeah I think that's 100% true but when you lose a woman right like it's like another dude gets the girl that you want what does he have that you don't usually probably a lot more money yeah that's been a situation where like it's tend to a pissing contest and like I just know I'm a lot more fun so it doesn't matter like I've got money and I'm a fun time he's got more money and he's kind of fat so like but he wins but he wins because like he's getting at the diamond earrings and I'm kind of just like hey unless we're dating or like unless we're like things are serious like I don't want to spend like $10,000 on like these crazy earrings or whatnot but it's kind of been like shoved in my face and I guess it breeds like some sort of like insecurity or like some sort of like uncertainty in myself and I've had to pull myself up a lot of times like hey you're exactly where you need to be you're doing exactly what you need to do don't worry about what level someone else is on because it has it has no effect on what you're doing at all and that isn't the right person for you if their whole motive is who has more money then that it's a blessing that they're not around because you should be with someone that wants to have fun and laugh which is a beautiful self-talk and a beautiful lesson but then you go back to the same dating pool yeah and you're like you know what I need to find somebody who loves me for me who thinks that I'm funny who sees all the other things non-monetary wise and make me amazing yeah want to go back to that same club that I met this girl at and see if that girl's hanging out there tonight well I think it's cause maybe my friends like don't want to go anywhere else like like it it's also like hard to know where to go when you haven't been there you know I got so difficult like all my friends just want to go and do this and that but now I've been like very reluctant with my energy in my time and I just stayed to myself and like stay in my crib and like just been focusing on my craft so it's also not helping anything because like all I have is Instagram DMs and the people that I'm DMing like very very silly like I'm like this isn't gone anyway it's purely just sexual people that you're putting the energy into little energy that you do have to invest because you're so busy and you're so work focused you're like I'm a wasted on people that I know it's not going anywhere even though in my heart I want a girlfriend you sound crazy you know that right no I sound crazy but now I like had to switch it over listened to Harry's interview what did you hear I heard a guy with a good heart who's like trying but maybe doesn't totally know what he actually wants even though he's good at talking about it he was saying like I don't I want something meaningful and I want somebody who's intellectually stimulating and also like I only fuck girls I meet on Instagram I listened to that and I heard myself it was I almost was like did she send me this because that went exactly how I wanted it to go but no I I mean just like pick a pick a point like pick one and that's literally exactly how I feel thank you so much for watching please click the link in the info box it is free it is spectacular I think you'll really enjoy this full 55 minute conversation about the dangers of dating out of your league and furthermore what does it mean to date out of your league let's talk about it let's I'll talk you listen that's how podcasts work and

All right. Well, this is Bruce at Bookmap. Welcome to the Bookmap Platform Details webinar. We'll go through the platform and what it's showing you and how to start to use it and any questions that you have will answer here as well. Risk disclaimer, trading equities in futures involves substantial risk of loss is not suitable for all investors past performance is not indicative of future results. See some new faces in here. So welcome and I'll show you some of the resources here at bookmap.com and how to get up and running if you're interested. And then once you there's a there's a 14-day trial period. Now once you are in trial, you'll have access as well to the advanced order flow webinars and those begin at 11 a.m. Eastern. So in about 28 minutes. And there's other resources. There's a educational course. As well. So the idea here is in the platform details, get familiar with the platform and then in the advanced webinars get to understand order flow and how to integrate that within your trading in those webinars. So those are for the current customers. They don't want to be bothered with the platform details. All right. So that's why we make the two distinctions. If you have any issues, you can always reach out to us at support at bookmap.com. Okay, and let's go to bookmap.com. You'll see explore members and free webinar. Obviously you signed up here for the free webinar. Click on explore. It just comes down to scrolls down to these intro videos. Maybe watch these if you haven't already. And then continue to scroll down. So about bookmap, what it is, the advantages that it gives you, the insights that it gives you. Some of our partners are here. We also connect to NASDAQ total view and with US equities. So that's a nice new feature that has been out for more than a few months now, but it's just an excellent data feed. Ask me if you want to look at some stocks. I'll be happy to show that because it gives you full depth of market. All right. So really nice feed and very reasonably priced as well. So anyway, you will need a data provider. Bookmap is a software platform. We are a true platform. You will need to connect it though with your data provider or your broker. We are not a data provider. So if you have, for example, IQ feed or CQG or Rhythmic or stage five offers all of those, I believe, or gain capital, you can connect bookmap via all of these different platforms as well as just data feeds.  However, we also connect via the API in Ninja. So that's the same for a TT XTrader Pro as well as well as the Interactive Brokers Traders Workstation. All right. Okay, a little bit further down. This is where you'll find the pricing. In general, there's just bookmap basic. It's 49 per month. It's billed quarterly. You get a 14-day trial period with it. Now, the bookmap advanced version, it just includes a lot of the add-ons. One of them is the one-click trading here. Great feature. I'm actually going to demo that a bit later in the advanced webinar. Someone was asking about it. So I'm going to go through some of that in some detail. I think it's going to be a pretty slow day today due to the U.S. holiday. But order management is what we're going to cover in the advanced. All right. So any of you guys who are here and already customers just want to let you know. Okay. So that's one of the add-on features. The other ones are these add-on indicators. These are proprietary indicators that we developed that they're for understanding the order flow. Okay. It's not like your RSI or Stochastics or MACD type of indicators. It's looking for larger traders in the limit order book. Okay. We have an algo that I can identify that. We're also looking for order book imbalances or volume imbalances. There's an iceberg detector. Great new. Well, it's been out for a few months as well. It's really been enhanced to show the icebergs. We also have a new correlation tracker add-on indicator. Okay. Now, if you're a quant and you need special access to your own data or proprietary indicators that you can just click here to learn more about all of that and let us know. Okay. If you want to really know the details here, you can click on this link down here and it will show you the comparison chart of what the differences are between the versions. Okay. They're not different versions. It's just the different features that are added. Okay. All right. You can also follow us here on Twitter, up-to-date information. You can see the webinars here, for example, and then the different traders retweeted or we have, you can see some of the equities here and some of the futures as well. All right. So, take a look at some of that. Follow us if you like. Our YouTube page, you can go here and you can watch all of our different videos, features and components here, for example, and you might want to take a look at some of these if you're new here and get familiar with what book map, the user interface and what book map is displaying. Okay. Now, these order flow video snippets, very concise videos, a couple of minutes each. These go through order flow phenomena. Okay. And how book map displays that. And this is more or less what we cover in the advanced webinars. So, understanding the order flow. It's not about the platform. Well, it's about how the platform discovers this phenomena and displays it and then how to take advantage of it. Okay. A little bit further down, you can see our ProTrader webinar series from September. If you want to look at some of these videos here that cover, well, ProTraders cover how they use book map. Selected webinars, if you want some insight to what the advanced webinars look like, you can watch some of these recorded webinars here. All right. Okay. Well, let's jump in to book map and let's see what is it displaying. All right. So, for a lot of you new here to book map, this chart may look very, very unfamiliar to you. Okay. And it may look very complex. Let's just go one step at a time here. It's actually really simple, very objective data. Okay. What we're showing here with these, all these big dots that you see here is the volume. It's where the volume is taking place on the historical best bid and offer. There's no candlesticks here. There's no kind of derivative of price or time or volume. We're showing you the volume, where it's taking place. And as I continue on in the presentation, we'll show exactly what, I'll demo exactly what I'm describing here. We're also showing you the limit order book. So over here, these columns here are, is the dome, the depth of market. Okay. So if I zoom in here, let's just zoom in. Here's your depth of market. Okay. And then we're looking at the NQ, the NASDAQ E-mini. All right. Now we're all familiar with the dome, most of us. So we just take this data here and where this gets really interesting is we project it onto the chart. Okay. So now you can see the current dome as well as the historical dome. So what book map is showing you in general here is just historical best bid and offer, the volume, and then the evolution of the limit order book or the dome. Okay. So let's go through it in some detail. And just to make it familiar here, I'm going to turn on the candlesticks and we're going to turn everything else off, all right, including best bid and offer. Okay. Here is a five-minute candlestick chart. Okay. We can see the 930 open here, the move to the downside. We see pressure on both sides here in a candlestick. And then we see the, you know, a lot of volume comes in. Well, I don't know about volume, but a lot of price action and move to the upside, to the other side of the range, and then right back into the middle of the range. Now, the candlestick, you can start to read the pressure here. It's tricky. It's difficult. And why is that? Because we don't know a lot of data here. We don't know where the volume took place. We don't know what type it was. We don't know the details of really what unfolded here. We only know open, high, low, close of a five-minute period. And that's it. The rest of reading this information here is kind of like reading the tea leaves in your, in your tea cup. We really don't know, all right. So the, we do have a volume subchart and I can, I can turn that on here. And most of us have this view. So we understand that there is volume down here, but we don't know where the volume took place, how much, and what type it was. Okay. So we also are missing all sorts of data in here within microstructures. And it's a huge, huge, makes a huge difference here, understanding microstructure. Because the microstructure move, it all initiates there and will kind of a snowball or be extrapolated into the bigger event. Okay. And let's turn on the historical best bid and offer just to see that. Okay. And it's already helping quite a bit because we can already understand a lot of microstructural areas here because then we can just zoom into some of these areas here. All right. So let's zoom in here. Okay. And you know, we see that this kind of double bottom, bottom pattern here. All right. And then we can also see though, within that double bottom, we'll look at this breakdown to the downside here. A move back up. Okay. There's a little bit of structure where it broke down here. And then there's structure down below here. Okay. Now, for those of you in your volume profile, volume profile traders, any, any volume profile traders in the room here? Any of you guys look at volume profile? Let me know. Very interested to know. Okay. Yeah. You do Mario. Okay. This is going to work really well with, with your volume profile. All right. So you're going to note in these little microstructural areas, the cluster, you're going to note the volume cluster, the breakdown. And you're going to note right back into a little, the point of control of that volume. And then you see the breakout here. Okay. So we've broken out of this little structural area. We come back down, retest that area. Okay. A little bit of a deep pull back here. But it's support prices supported down here. All right. And we see the move to the upside and then look at this range here. Okay. We can see exactly what occurred here. It's just, we, this is where the move took place. Okay. And above all of this area here, we accepted. Okay. Look at the breakdown here. This is, we're going to find responsive virus here down in this area here. And you can see that we, we did not, this breakdown here right to the same area where we were earlier. All right. And it rejected. Okay. It did not accept down here. It rejected. And we went to the other side of the range here. Okay. This is all auction market theory. It's all right within book map here. And we're just getting a taste of it with the historical best bid and offer. That's it. Okay. So trying to understand the candles and open, high, low, close in context to all of that is not giving you much insight at all. Okay. So now let's turn on the volume. Okay. And we can see exactly where volume traded. All right.  So let's just bring these down a little bit. All right. Okay. So now if we look at some of these areas, we can see exactly, we can answer the question exactly what traded and where and what kind of volume. Okay. Was it aggressive market buys or aggressive market sells? So let me, let me cover what we're displaying here in book map because you can see these pie charts that give you the overall delta of the volume. So for the example here, we see more aggressive buying than selling. But there's a lot of selling here as well. Okay. But let's, let's zoom into an area here and let's just take a look. All right. So nothing in particular. I'll just zoom right in. And what I want to show here is the historical best bid and offer. All right. So the best bid here is the green line. Best offer is the red line. Okay. Now here are the volume dots on historical best bid and offer. These are transactions that took place. Okay. And I can, I use the data tip tool hover over this area and it shows me exactly what traded here. Okay. I get the date, the time, what was on the ask here at this price level and the volume. And this was for a volume of one. Okay. Here's another one for a volume of one. All right. Bigger green dot over here as they lift the offer. You can see this was for a volume of, let's zoom in a little bit more and hover right over this area here. It's funny. It's not giving me. Okay. Volume of 11 here. All right. There you go. Okay. And so this green dot is an aggressive market buy order. And we consider it the aggressor because they cross the spread. They took liquidity off of the best offer. And the aggressive market sell order is a red dot. It took liquidity off of the best bid. Okay. Now we record every single event here. Okay. This is where we differ from other platforms. We have a complex event processing engine that can handle all of this data here. So we can zoom in and let me find an area that might be a little more interesting. Maybe let's see. Maybe this pullback here. Right. Because we're going to see initiated buying here pulling price up. Okay. In fact, we can see these little tests in these areas here of exhaustion and then the initiated buying begins here right outside of this little microstructural area. Okay. A little triple quadruple bottom here and then buyer step in. All right. So anyway, looking at the volume, we can zoom in and we can show you exactly what traded here. Now I have a little bit of lag with the best bid and offer here. Okay. That's because they come in via two different protocols. But you can see them lifting the offer here. All right. And as I continue to zoom in, look exactly what traded here. We have all of this data. We're down at mill or microsecond level. We can continue to zoom in. We can look at the nanosecond level here. I know exactly what happened here. Okay. Now we come from the HFT environment and book map originally began because the software was developed just proprietary for understanding where our algos were getting filled. Okay. We wanted to know that data and that detail and came up with this visualization tool and then thought this was pretty good idea for others and offered it here, offering it here to the retail market. Okay. Now we don't trade off of those micro level or nanosecond level areas. Okay. So you can see as I zoom back out, I have a book map has very smartly integrated or consolidated this data into one big dot you can hover over this area and it tells me this is for a volume of 69. And I know the majority of it is aggressive buying. There's some selling in here, but it's not that extensive. So if you want the details, you've got it. Okay. You can zoom in and see every single detail and you can see exactly how these markets trade. Okay. As we zoom back out, we get the overall shape of that volume because we don't trade off of those levels. Right. We want to understand in general what's going on in these areas. Right. So that's the volume in book map. Now let's get into that limit order book and what is showing you here. Okay. Nice breakdown here. And to understand the volume is very important. Okay. For those of you looking at volume profile, you know that. Okay. Understanding where traders are committed in and their activity. I mean, look at them like in this area here. You know, they hit the bid pretty hard. Okay. It initiated up here actually. We got a little bit of a pullback and then a move to the downside. Okay. But and understanding the volume is key. However, there's a whole other side of understanding what's going on in the market and the order flow. And that is through the limit order book. This is why we look at a dome. Okay. We want to understand where traders are lined up in the bid and the offer. Okay. And you can see that in the dome here. These are traders on the offer here lined up, providing liquidity here at these areas. Okay. And here they are on the bid. All right. Now, understanding the dome and the auction is very important because, you know, you want to see is an auction. The markets are auctions and we want to understand where the players are lined up to deal. It gives us a lot of insight. The problem with the dome is that it shows you only the current market activity. Okay. As soon as these numbers change, that data is gone. So what we do with book map is in this window here with the historical or this is current best bid and offer. Okay. And this is your last traded volume. What we show you is a graphical representation of these numbers. Okay. So let's turn on the heat map. Okay. So now you'll understand like a really that it's really not that complex. But what we're looking at here is in this window graphical representation of the liquidity. So 153 contracts up here at 71.5. All right. It's bright. It's bright white. Okay. High liquidity is painted white. Okay.  Okay. If it's dark, there's very little liquidity. All right. That's what we're showing in book map. Okay. Now, where this gets really interesting is to the left of this vertical white line. Okay. We take this data and we record it and we transpose it on the chart historically. So now we see the volume, but we also see where they're lined up to trade. Okay. How they behaved in the auction previously. All right. So look at the striations here in the in the liquidity heat map. And you can see this is the adding and pulling of liquidity. Okay. We can hover over these areas and see over here where it says get the date, the time. And then on the ask, there's 55 contracts. As I scroll to the right, you can see that it's getting a little brighter in these areas here. Now we have 69, 74 contracts, etc. Okay. Now, where this, how this is helpful is to understand the behavior of this area. Okay. Do they have the intent to trade or was this fake liquidity? All right. Well, we can answer that question just by looking at this activity here. Okay. We can see that they started to pull those orders. They started to add in as price is coming up. That's showing pretty bearish behavior. Okay. They want, they want to trade is what it's showing as price is coming up, but then price starts to eke up a little bit further and they pull. So they did not have the intent to trade up here. Okay. In fact, we can start to read the behavior of some of these larger players. And if they're pulling liquidity, are they adding it up at higher levels? And it kind of looks like it. It looks like it's the same kind of actors here around this 69, 50 area, 70 area, and they're pulling and adding up here. So they don't want to be sellers here. They want to be sellers up in these areas now. Okay. For this microstructural area. Okay. And it's not that micro. I mean, we're looking at several minutes here, data. Okay. But it's showing that they don't, they're not that bearish. They want to be buyers or I'm sorry, they want to be sellers up in these areas. That's where they want to deal. And we have that context for you. All right. So that's how Bookmap can help you understand and read the auction within the traded volume. Okay. So for example, then this is what we cover some of the examples in the advanced order flow webinars, which we'll start in about four minutes, is look at the breakdown here. Okay. Look at where they're lining up to be sellers again. Okay. Pretty, we see this all the time. Right. This is where the sellers began. This is where they want to deal again right now. They want to add to their sell position where they initiated it up here. Okay. It's giving you really good insight to the intent of some of these, some of these traders. All right. Okay. Let me get to a few questions here. And let's see. There was another trader here. He wanted to go over some of the orders. I think we're going to cover that in the advanced. I don't see him in here. So yeah, I think we'll do that in the advanced. And all right. So questions here. Mario, CQG records the historical limit order book. Well, CQG doesn't, we do. And we display it for you. Okay. So when you open up your book map, you begin recording all of that data. Okay. Or you begin collecting it. Now you have the option to record it. You can see down here, this button, this red button is the record, the data button here. Okay. So yeah, I am recording my data. You can also record all of your trading activity. Okay. It's a great debriefing tool. So if you want to see exactly how your trading strategies are working and exactly where you got filled and what the market condition was, you have it down to the nanosecond or basically unlimited zoom. Let's see, Tyler. Could I supply the link for the advanced webinar? Tyler, if it's for those that are in trial and or current customers and you've been in here quite a bit. So not sure if you have access to those or not. You're in the trial. Okay. All right. Yeah. I'll give you the, I'll email you the link then. Okay. Okay. Yeah. No, I, you know, you know, we want to keep that distinction between the two. Those that are here for the first time and, you know, we're going through the basics here. I mean, just this idea here, we've gone through so many times and we already assume or we're already, we want to see if the traders are lining up here to deal on the sell side. Okay. And, you know, this kind of order flow analysis, we go through, you know, I'll go through the basics here with you guys now, but we'll go through it in detail. So like for example, look at them take, look at the buyers take these guys on right here. Okay. We just traded into this area and you can see the transactions that took place. Okay. So and we're also seeing maybe another, we'll read it, but like we may see if the buyers on the other hand, if they start providing high liquidity right underneath here, we may see a flip of that order book. They were here on the offer and they flipped to the bid side. These guys all down that broke down here in this area perhaps will get trapped and maybe we'll see a move to the other side of the range here. Okay. This is some of the things that we'll cover in the advanced. All right. All right guys, thanks for coming and we'll see you in the advanced if you guys are in trial or current customers. Thanks.
