The following is a presentation of TFNN trading hour with your host David White call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> now David White and welcome all to another exciting edition of the power trading hour with me you're unbelievable. And squeezably soft host who comes to you almost every day at this time. The following takes place between 2pm and 3pm. So what do we have today? Well it certainly looked as we talked on the show yesterday that we were going to get a fairly significant bounce. I thought that the low was in for the year yesterday and where are we yet right here if I can actually find it. Okay up 22 we call it 23 points as I said I'm not expecting us to rally 500 S&P points before the end of the year. I just think that for the most part we're going to see maybe a percent or two higher. But what we're really going to see moving are the stocks that have been most aided least shorted and not gone down. Especially over the last few days you can make a case that on Friday Thanksgiving there was nobody that wanted to be a bear coming into a Monday. Because there were no bears they ran the market down fairly good. There wasn't a lot of people to instantly cover. They finally got it down there to a level where everybody started shorting thinking the end was nigh. And of course the market pops instantly which has been kind of the modus operandi of the market the entire year. We went from 10 percent put call ratio in the VIX stocks. Those are the out of the money puts and calls from Friday to what was it 55 or something yesterday 50. So it popped back all in one or two days. Let's put it that way. So generally when everybody decides it's time to short it's actually time to go long.  Or a lot of people shorting the market just before the turn trying to push the market down and run and flush out all the stops before they turn around and then cover all those and send the market much higher. But it looked I don't know. We were down what 30 probably 35 points yesterday by the by the time the show had probably about halfway through the show. What we closed down 20 points yesterday. We're up 23 points now. So basically where we were at when we started Monday night. And like I said I'm not expecting a huge amount of index moves. But I do suspect that there are a lot of stocks that are probably going to go significantly higher before the end of the year. Just as volume continues to decay as it always does this time of year and shorts end up slowly covering. And to a great extent December seems to almost always be one of these deals where it's the proverbial frog in the water.  It'll jump out because it senses it's getting burned. But guess what. You put that frog in a nice tepid water and turn the heat up slowly. It just eventually gets baked. And that's generally what happens on short sales.  It's just so infrequently that we get anything that it even matters. Now looking forward to next week the 10th and the 11th or the FOMC meetings. My guess is that they're not going to say anything to spoil Christmas. But we do not know what a handful of people will do. But my guess is they won't change a great deal. Market will kind of like that. That will probably take us a little higher to sideways through the 11th. And then probably that's where I think the majority of the short squeeze is going to come from about the 11th through and probably the 20th maybe the 23rd as we get into Christmas. It's you know there's always the question of what's more important the charts or seasonality. And in Christmas I've got to say that most of the time you'll have some outliers but almost always for Christmas the bias of a little higher is not monsterly higher. What I'm trying to say is you're probably not going to go rich or get rich going along the indexes. They'll probably be up a little. I'm going to say probably an 80% chance of being up a little and a 20% chance of being down a little. So you know if it'd be different if there was a 20% chance that it was down a whole lot. But you just really so seldomly get that over a couple hundred years of history that you want to stay I think away on that. And again there's some stocks we bought one yesterday that has 17 days or 16 days to cover as that volume continues to drop. We're just going to see this thing go up a couple pennies couple pennies couple pennies. And of course on this one which is only in the it's a little under 10 bucks. It only has to go up about a buck 50 to really make some decent profits out of it. So like I said it's going to be kind of tough. We've got some other questions we want to get here to today. You can always email me at path at tfnn.com but what's do a little history and then when we come back from the break. We'll talk about the first question that I had earlier in the day and we'll cover a specific stock. But let's do that history. I guess we can do it now. And on this day in 1952 heavy smog begins to cover over London England and on December 4th 1952 it persists for five days leading to the deaths of 4,000 people. It was a Tuesday afternoon or Thursday afternoon when high pressure air mass stalled over the Thames River Valley when cold air arrived suddenly from the west. The air over the London became trapped in place. The problem was exasperated by low temperatures which caused residents to burn even more coal in their furnaces.  You dig a little bit farther underneath the turf and probably 80% of the people heated their homes with coal into the 70s. A lot of these older homes were demolished. They started rebuilding new homes that were a little bit more robust and modern. So that's kind of changed. But it's kind of interesting to think of London as kind of a L.A. with huge amounts of pollution. But then you think about China. No real different there. You go to the capital cities of China. You can't breathe there either. Every people are doing that. Burning coal.  China still does.  You don't do that much anymore. You don't do that much anymore.

And actually, I've got a chart up here too so we can take a look at it. N-T-N-X is the company. And they were kind of wondering how all this worked with VMware and all the rest. And I knew that there were going to be a lot of people that probably need a little primer before they figured out how this company actually makes money. It's had a nice run of about 100% off the August 16th low. Now, of course, that was coming off of almost 55 bucks back in February down to 17 bucks. So you can make a case that this thing has done just a dead cat bounce. But it is a very interesting company nonetheless. So we'll do a deep dive on what this is and maybe you'll learn a little bit more about technology and technology companies. Again, you don't have to be someone that can go to work there tomorrow. You just need kind of a 30,000 foot overview to know how these things plug together. And a little knowledge of a company is probably better than a whole lot of knowledge on the company. At least you'll understand what they do. Newtonix is a company that pushes what they call a hyper-converged infrastructure. And before we get too deep in this, just about everything in computers and technology is fairly complicated. So the idea is to always try to abstract all the dirty little details farther down in the code. And a lot of times what you'll do is you'll write one program that talks to another program that talks to another program. In fact, all the ethernet and internet as it comes through your and into your system and the way you're listening to me now goes through seven different layers of a software. And if something needs to change, you can change it anywhere in that. But the idea is to generally let the first layer kind of leave it alone. If it's working, don't mess with it. Then you get kind of a second layer of abstraction, a third layer of abstraction, a fourth layer, fifth layer, sixth layer, seventh layer and internet. And that's worked for pretty much the same since the mid-80s. And the idea behind cloud computing with Nutex is kind of that. They're going to allow you to control cloud servers and servers in your own location rather seamlessly by putting a lot of different layers above everything that you need to use. So, you know, the traditional three-tiered architecture is some servers over here, a ton of storage over there from somebody in the storage business, and then networks from somebody like Citrix and Cisco and those folks. And of course, in the olden days, what you'd have is a bunch of different texts trying to make all this stuff plug together and work. And of course, if you wanted to change it, God forbid, because everything had to be changed on all of them. VMware was one of the first companies to change the way that routers worked by putting a layer of software that basically took all the care of everything based on rules that you put in. So you didn't really have to worry about, you know, specific IP addresses and typing this number in here and that setting over there. It just knew how to do it.  And then they got people that are underneath them that are actually the worker bees. The manager, the king cheese tells the managers what to do and all the different parts of the businesses. They go and then they tell all the people that work for them what to do underneath. But the CEO doesn't have to talk to the surfs down at the ground level that are actually doing all the work. So they set those layers of abstraction, which are no real difference than the business model. So the idea from Newtonix is that you could basically write a piece of software that would do all that layers below everything that you needed to do to run a big cloud service. So let's say that you're somebody that's running an ad on the Superbowl and you're going to need a ton of servers to handle everybody attacking your, hopefully, clicking on your ad after the Superbowl. You may need a ton of servers, but you may only need those servers for six or seven or eight hours. Probably a little less for the next few days as people maybe look at it in the next couple of days. By Wednesday, they probably have forgotten about your ad. And probably if they haven't clicked on it by then, they're probably not going to go to it. So what you need is a bunch of servers right now. And then you need to diminish those over the next few days. Now, maybe you're going to bet everything on Amazon? Maybe not. Bet everything on Google? Maybe not. Everything on Microsoft says your web services? Maybe not. What if you could control all three of them from one piece of software? And just say, okay, I want all these servers. This is the software I want on them. And I'm going to copy everything to them. And they're all going to talk back to this one computer where I'm going to store all the information for the people that came and what they wanted and whether they gave me an order or they wanted more information or needed to download stuff. So the idea behind Newtonics is kind of the same thing as VMware, where VMware really kind of targeted just being able to control routers, like Cisco routers, but not really have to worry about what the hardware really was. Again, you've got all these levels and layers of what happens. And as you get down the tiers, more of those levels have to know more about the hardware they're talking about. But at the high levels, the CEO doesn't really know the names of the people that work for them down in the trenches. So this company, at least their idea is that you'd be able to turn on, let's say a thousand servers and maybe you're going to split them equally between Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. So if one of them is down on Superbowl Day, you didn't throw all your money away on one of them, right? You're going to be able to load, share between all of them. They're all going to talk to each other. So you could almost say it's a cloud of clouds, right? It's kind of a cloud thing that actually controls all the cloud stuff below it. And again, you're basically talking about servers, storage and networks, and the idea of abstracting those at a very high level and being able to control all of the major servers, companies like those big ones from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. But at the same time, include maybe your own servers where you may have stuff that you don't want outside of your office, like credit card numbers, that kind of stuff.  But Newtonix, kind of a software that drives and oversees the rest of cloud services. We'll be back after this. The path of least resistance is David White's daily trading newsletter.

Abstraction's kind of the easiest way to say this is you jump in a car, you turn the car on, put it in gear, you press down on the pedal. You don't know if someone didn't tell you or you didn't look whether that, when you press on the pedal, it actually goes to a computer. And then that computer actually pulls on the throttle for the engine. You don't know if that engine's a six-cylinder or an eight-cylinder. It's just under the hood. It's hidden underneath there. But you know when you push down on the accelerator car, it's going to go faster. The more you push down, the faster it goes. You don't need to know all the details of the engine underneath it or the transmission that's hooked to it or all the other systems that come by it. You've got the interface, which is that pedal or that gear level or the steering wheel. And once you understand those three things, those are the only things you generally, unless things hit a big speed bump or a pothole, those are the only things you really need to know and brake lever, I guess. So you've got your interfaces. Everything else is hidden under the hood. And that's absolutely what everybody wants to do. If you write software correctly, you can abstract people from all the details that are underneath there. And of course, they're dark and dirty and greasy under that hood. You don't want to get under there too much, right? You want to do basic maintenance every once in a while. But you don't want the driver always having to think about, well, did I have a six-cylinder and eight-cylinder? What transmission do I have? And for a long time, that's the way that a lot of these cloud systems work. You had to know everything about it. And the whole idea is virtualization, i.e., you don't know anything about where the computer is, where this stuff is running on. You just know if you do it to this spec that it'll run on everything everywhere if you do it right. If it runs one place, it should run everywhere. And that's basically what these companies are all working on, is that there's going to be an interface for the customer that may need 1,000 web servers all for Super Bowl Night. And that's it. They hit a button. They click up to 1,000. They maybe click a button that says scale as best as you can for all the deluge of people that's going to come in on the Super Bowl ad. And maybe you start off with 100 servers. You go to 1,000 servers.  You maybe only need 100 servers now. These things will all kind of automatically expand and contract as needed. And that's what all this stuff does. So it's, like I said, for the most part, if you're a big company and you're in retail, you're not really in the business of owning computers or having a bunch. You may just run this big ad and need the ability to scale from very small to very large. And maybe all that in the space of a single week. That is what all this virtualization companies do, including VMware, is make it kind of invisible and under the hood. So you don't have to spend a lot of time figuring out how this plugs into that, where that is. Everybody's had a computer, always had to hook in all the cables and set their IP addresses in the past. You don't do that anymore. It just knows. It just knows. Anyway, what else do we have out here to question about Amazon? I just don't see a lot going on here. All these companies are under fire, including Google. We'll talk about them next. Not surprised this thing didn't drive higher. As we all know that these guys are going to be under the microscope for the coming year. We also saw that in the last earnings cycle that they talked about spending a lot more money. And of course, Wall Street never likes the fact that Amazon's spending more money. The overarching issue that I think is that we've talked about for a while is after Intel earnings, they let us know that at least for the server business, which Amazon really, when you look at it, they sell a lot of stuff. They have a lot of businesses. But the overarching business that makes the most amount of money and most amount of profit is their Amazon web services. So when we look at something like Amazon or Microsoft, we know for a variety of sources that the growth in web services is slowing. So I'm not going to, since Amazon really isn't what you would call a reseller of software, like Microsoft has cloud services and software sales for databases, that kind of stuff. Amazon really doesn't. And so you want to look to a company's big cash cow, which is almost always the margins they have. The retail side of Amazon, you know, so they make six, eight, nine percent on the retail products. Their web services, I think most of those companies are making like 50% margins on web services. So as that business slows, don't be surprised that why everybody points to Amazon is where they get their packages from. The real money is in that web services business. Same thing with Microsoft. About half of their profits, recent profits have been directly linked to their Azure web services platform. They still do well, but I'm not surprised that these companies, I'm not saying they're going to sell off wildly, but I'm going to say that their growth curve is specifically lower. And I think one of the reasons that we saw the news today on Google, on the original founders leaving from the board of directors is that they've kind of seen the writing on the wall that the easy money is over. And of course, the next year, they don't want to be involved in being dragged in front of a lot of congressmen who probably call it the Google instead of just Google. Remember those guys? I think who was it that called everything the Twitter and the Google? You had to put a the before everything, which was kind of a little creepy. I think a lot of people think it's creepy to put a the kind of like the Goldman Sachs, which I think if you work there, you have to actually do that. I don't know why they would call it the Goldman Sachs, other than Goldman Sachs is fine. Anyway, Google up a little bit on the day that the that the two original founders are leaving. But the question is, why are they leaving? Is this really a positive for Google? And I'm going to say that the CEO isn't that sharp. He's not that good. I don't know if they were doing anything or nothing. But there's a lot of CEOs that are nothing more than caretakers. This guy is not that good. He lets the employees tell him what the company can do and what they can't. Everybody's running around on strike, walking out. I don't know how you run a company based on what your employees want to do. And you kind of have to run the company on what you can do. And again, I think these guys are going to get burned a bit when Congress talks about why were you willing to help the Chinese Communists, but you refused to help the U.S. military. Very tough questions coming from Congress next year for the Google. If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger First mortgage program may work for you. The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Tax Act of 2018 set up tax-free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable. The investment is anywhere from $30,000 to $75,000. The interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis. According to Bankrate.com, the best rate for a four-year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1%. A $50,000 investment at a normal four-year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of $1,550 per year or $6,200 over the four-year period. That same $50,000 investment in the Tiger First mortgage program would give you $3,500 per year or $14,000 over the four years. What should you prefer? $6,200 or $14,000 of interest on your investment? If you'd like more information about the Tiger First mortgage program, you can call me at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

What else do we have here? Just checking out what's going on. And yes, we did not discuss a volume for the day yet. Volume was good yesterday, but not enough to signal any kind of blow off to the bottom, which is making me think that we've got at least probably the rest of the month to go higher. The question is whether or not we get anything that catalyzes a better year next year. We're doing about 4.3 billion shares today. So we're going to be in line with the volume we went down on yesterday. So no clear signal out here that any kind of bottom is broken. I don't think even if we retest the recent lows, the last couple of days that we're going to break them. In fact, I think, like I said, I think the 80% chance that we're a percent or two higher in the S&Ps come Christmas, maybe even a little bit more than that. But the index is probably not going to tell the story. The story is going to be as volume drops, short positions that are highly shorted are probably going to go a little higher. Had a question, and as always, you can email me at path at tfnn.com. Tamara from Seattle asked me about a company that handles taxes for city and state governments. What's the name of the company? And that's a little wrong for what you're talking about. They handle sales tax information for state, local and federal and international and countries all across the globe. And that's Avalara. So think of it as a cloud service where you say, hey, I'm shipping product A from Taiwan to, you know, Arizona. What are the taxes? Who gets the money? All that kind of stuff. These guys are always plugging in the tax rates and the legality of selling something from one place to another and where you have to collect taxes and where you have to send them. And of course, you just tell them what you've done or what you're doing and then they'll tell you how much you have to pay. And you can either, you know, put that in your sales prospectus to the client. But you see a lot of things like Amazon where it'll always say you're expected taxes or so and so. And of course, by the time they ship it, it's generally, if you're in the United States, correct. But sometimes it's off depending on where it shipped from and who was the company that actually sold it. Some things you buy from Amazon. Even though you're using them, they're just collecting the money. So it's actually, you know, the company maybe in the same state as you. So they have to collect local sales tax. Sometimes they do not. All those kind of intricacies of from point A to point B. But they don't, I just, your description is a little bit different. From what my understanding is they handle all the information of what taxes you should collect as a business when you do business with someone else. And you're shipping that product or giving that product or delivering that product to some other jurisdiction, including many countries all around the globe. So that's it. Avalara, of course, they got to 9431 down to 6420 and had a bounce. But I think that every time the discussion is that there's going to be some kind of better trade deal that this was going to be less needed. If the trade deal falls apart, I think this thing goes back to 95 bucks. But then you always have to worry about, you know, someone saying the trade deals back. And eventually it will be, but I've never thought that this thing was going to be settled before mid-summer of 2020 going into the election. I think it gets solved then. I think the Chinese would be wise to handle it sooner rather than later. Because what happens the longer it goes, the more people will be looking for products outside the jurisdiction of China. AAPL had an interesting call from one of the Wall Street analysts who they say have done a big survey and found out that people that have bought Apple for the last, for iPhones for the last 8, 10 years or so are now starting to wander and look at other phones in the Android complex. It's not huge at the moment. I think the guy is going to be on CNBC tomorrow. But generally you want to get excommunicated, say something that isn't positive about Apple and the investment community. And you're going to get torch. A lot of the dip yesterday was kind of on that. You're getting back a little bit today, but not a lot of volume. As we said, Apple really hasn't been doing very well in the iPhone business over the last year. The difference has been that they're selling those ear pods to everybody and making outrageous amounts of margin on them. And the question is, are people now looking for more cost value comparisons? I'm not a big guy that would spend a lot of money on a phone. In fact, I'm probably the cheapest smartphone buyer in the world because I've got lots and lots of computing power with big screens. Why do I want to dink around with a little screen? If I was outside, maybe at customer sites all day and needed connectivity, maybe that would be okay. I just don't need a phone other than really to talk to people that much. The question is whether a lot of people are going to start looking at spending a grand every year or two on Apple for phones and say, well, I really just don't do that stuff anymore. I've grown up. I use it to talk and text and that's about it. And I think when you get into a mature business and people quit paying games, that may be it. Anyway, interesting discussion that people that have owned iPhones for a number of years are starting to look at others, including Samsung flagship style phones and others just thinking that they don't use it enough for all those other things. I remember in the 80s, everybody was supposed to have a word processor and a spreadsheet and email for business. And they thought everybody should have it at home. And Microsoft is kind of pushing that. But how many people you know that actually even know how to run a spreadsheet that aren't in business now? I know a lot of people down here, if I ask them to even name what the spreadsheet was, they probably couldn't come up with it down in Florida. Now, maybe that's a thing where there's just a lot of older people in Florida. It continues to be kind of one of these things where I think the dinky little games that go on handheld devices and kids, especially kids that have pushed this for the last five or 10 years, they eventually just kind of get over it. I think Twitter has been one of those kind of companies where it becomes TWTR. Twitter becomes less and less important every day. Talking about another CEO wanting to van moose, he's going to try to hide out in Africa all next year. And if anybody believes that's because he wants to do something in Africa, it is not. He's hiding from the congressional guys that will be on his rear end all next year. And he's going to be saying, you know, I'm down there doing the Lord's work in Africa.

While originally hand-drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s, Basil noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply. Later Basil found the computer software which included the standard market technical indicators enhanced the degree of accuracy in calling price turns as well as market trend calls. Thus was born the Chapman Wave Sequence.

And yeah, I sent you a PDF if anybody else wants it. But here's their babble about what they do from Newtonics. So if you want to take a look at this, it basically breaks down what the company does and how they do it. I'll be glad to send it to you. Just email me at path at TFNN.com. But not real technical and like they said for dummies on here that I'm showing on the screen. But certainly you can take a look at it. What else do we have? Oh, question about Tesla being a three-gap play. You've got two. You're literally looking for the third one. Again, I'm not a big fan of trying to short stocks into the end of the year. We had in fact probably the best seven days in the newsletter last year when we bought, it was a day before Christmas, a day after, whatever we did, whatever it did, we ripped in equities. And of course we had a good run starting in August all the way through pretty much the beginning of October and options. Very tough. Again, the market tends to move slowly and deliberately into Christmas. You don't generally get everything in one big bounce. So I'm continuing to watch this market go probably a little higher each day, a little bit more of a short squeeze into the last couple of days before Christmas. I don't see anything that really moves anything. FOMC is next week. That's pretty much it for the year, unless they drop the Chalupa, which I do not think they're going to do. I think that it just continues to ratchet up the problem with shorts. If you're thinking about going short, maybe next year, maybe January 3rd is a better idea. In the meantime, sell when you can, not when you have to. We'll be back tomorrow. Same bat channel, same bat.


In recent years, the attention of the world was on financial crisis, which country was going to have a crisis that required a bailout, which currency would crash. Which big bank could go under? Starting last year, the attention shifted from economics to geopolitics, to issues of international security, of armed conflict, of man-made disasters. That has become now the center of attention. What are some of the decisions that leaders around the world are taking related to conflict and affecting companies and markets? And what is very interesting is that in the past, those geopolitical decisions were mostly made or taken by leaders of nation-states. For example, ISIS is not a nation-state. ISIS is a terrorist organization that acquired a significant power. It's part of these new kinds of non-state actors that are having great influence in the world. The collapse of oil prices has very interesting first-order consequences. Prices go down and things start happening. Countries have to adjust their budgets. Massive transfers of wealth and income go from oil exporters to oil consumers. One of the most important trends shaping the world today is what's happening to power. Power has become easier to acquire, harder to use and easier to lose. This trend, the end of power, the decay of power, is happening everywhere. It's a global phenomenon. It's happening in Africa and in North America, in Japan and Latin America. But at the same time, it's also happening in every human activity where power matters. It's from the Vatican to the Pentagon, from large corporations to big universities, from science to sports. And I think this is the force shaping the dynamics in the global economy, in global politics and even in domestic internal politics.


Everything you said, we already knew, more or less. So here's something that you didn't know. Two of those specialists told me, oh, I'm happy for you. Bill says that epic spaceship first for two and a half years. Years, that is the longest time ever. Like, what's gonna happen? Who knows, it might be just a rumor, because most of those things are rumors. I don't know though. Two years, I don't know. Yeah, that's a lot. What are we gonna do without thinking the Phoenicians? We're saying hi to Foxy. Foxy, I can live without. Really? You're so jealous. You're so jealous. She is so jealous of Foxy, but I don't know. We're here, and we're gonna check up on the spaceship board, probably ride it, and I'm gonna get my pass while they're cutting board. And I am too. Yes, what we're gonna see, if you can, we don't know. I've been here four times. Oh, have you? Oh, so let's go do this. I definitely have. We're gonna head up to the festival center so that we can get our cutting boards. And if you guys remember last time when I came to get the cutting board myself, it didn't turn out too well. It was very sad. Very, very, very. What a dramatic video. If you wanna check out that video.  We'll put it in the description. The link in the description. Time to get you ready. Yeah, and basically the video was tiled. Did I get my annual pass cutting board? Spoiler alert, he doesn't, but it is very depressing when he finds out. I'll never forget that day. It's all gonna change now. I love visiting the festival center, don't you? Huh? What, yes. Talking to Taylor, sorry. Oh, talking to Taylor, huh? Yeah, both of her family's left. Oh, I know. Guys, if you haven't known, Granny and Veronica's mom have left. We couldn't get a lot of video of Granny. She just wasn't having it, but. She also would not go to Disney. Nope, she would not come to Disney. Very sad. But. It's too hot here in Florida for Disney. Very too hot. She is 80 years old though. Wait around up, huh? You talking about me, rounding? What? Let's go get our cutting boards. There's the magnet. We already got that. Well, let's find the cutting boards. Well, I don't know why I say fine. I know exactly where I'm going. I can hang out in here all day. It is so cold and nice in here. Ooh, we just walked in and all of a sudden people started clapping. Yes, we're here. Hello. Hi. Yes. How you doing? Good. Hi. Yes. Are you here for your magnets? My cutting board. Your cutting board, right here. Is it gonna happen? Time hotel. Or I should say big Mickey hotel. You're good. You're good. That was my fourth time. You're good. Yes. It's your turn. So yeah, couldn't tell by the dramatic celebration and the dramatic depression. My cutting board right here. And yep, did not. She's only her third time. She's gotta come one more time. I actually been here four times. So last time we found out what happened was we renewed our annual pass just a month ago and it wiped the slight clean. So the first two times we came here, it doesn't count. So that's why last time I got denied. But this time I was chosen. Can we look at it? Oh, let's look at this. You take the bag. Veronica's interested in the bag only. Wow. My Mickey looks like it's already rubbed off. Doesn't it? Well, it'll be good for cutting onions later. But I'm crying. Oh. I like it though. Thank you. Okay, let's head back to Spaceship Earth. I'm feeling a little bit better.  You get bad news, I know. Yeah, you just. Next time, next time. But we came here with two things in mind. Get our cutting boards, which half got accomplished and to ride Spaceship Earth. Yeah. So we're going to do that. Let's do that now. Uh-oh. Spaceship Earth is leaking again. Oh, did you get a fast pass? Oh, are we going? Yeah, sure. Well, we didn't get a fast pass. So we're just going to hop in line because there is literally probably 20 people waiting. Did you get fast passes for three? There she is. Spaceship Earth. We looked for Sydney. Yeah, we did look for Sydney. So Sydney, if you're watching this, we looked for you. And of course Veronica selected a different language. And now it looks like we're going to. Thank you. My favorite, the cinema. I'm glad we got our daily dose of Spaceship Earth. We don't have a daily dose of Spaceship Earth. Well, we just got one today. Yeah. Well, I think that's it.  So yeah, love the life you live. Love the life you live. To the loop. To the loop. And this is why I love living in Florida. They have all the garden.


We are at Hack Fortress, easily one of my favorite contests at DEFCON, because it combines kind of this weird mixture of hacking and gaming. And one of my favorite judges, what can you tell me about it? So, Hack Fortress is a hybrid gaming CTF. So we've got six player, we've got six TF2 players on each team, competing in a mostly normal TF2 round. Those teams are supported by four hackers. Hackers are doing web security, net security, physical challenges like lock picking, flex cuffs, forensics, web challenge, cryptography, like you guys always have this massive gambit of challenges. And now the difficulty is often sometimes really hard. And then other times though, you put easy ones in there too. I mean we've got basic stuff, I mean OWASP top 10 style puzzles are still in there. So one of the things I noticed, so we have the gamers, they are gaming away.  How are they getting that power up? So the hackers have access to the Hack Fortress Hack economy store. It's a special in-game interface. They can go in, they can buy crits, they can freeze the other team, they can drop a bot in on their team for an extra player. Oh that's so cool. They can block the other hackers from submitting a challenge, providing them from scoring. And they can even swap a player and a hacker. Sometimes this has worked out great for the opposing team, worked out great for the opposing team because they drop a hacker in that's like what is game? How do I TF2? Other times they've dropped in a competitive TF2 player that is also a hacker and they swapped in without missing a beat. And the TF2 player went over and solved the challenge. So the gamers are playing their scoring points, which gives hackers the ability to get hints on the challenges. Hackers are hacking away at the challenges, they get points which then can be used for all these different like disrupts to the team. Can you tell me, but like my favorite challenges, Outflat have been the physical wonky challenges we'll call it. What are some of the ones that have been happening thus far this year? So this year we don't have any of the physical challenges yet, but we do have some in store. I know the one which actually like made me break out into a sweat was you had one of the hackers come and do five burpees. And I had no idea what a burpee was and I'm like so what's a burpee? I'm thinking like okay like I have to like burp the alphabet or something like that.  And I was like probably 50 pounds heavier at that time. And I'm just dripping sweat. Another one I remember is you had to lead the crowd. What was it in YMCA? I think we've done that one. My personal favorite was the year Mad Max Fury Road came out. We had we got some silver cake decorating spray. Contestants had to spray the bottom of their face silver as characters in the film did. And Scab Hunt for some reason ended up with the bumper of a car. And so they had to go over to Scab Hunt get the bumper of a car and do a lap around the whole of the contest area holding the bumper. Yelling what? Witness me. Oh my gosh I love this contest. I love the challenges. There's so much work put into it because when you build this it's not just stand up the game stand up hackers but your team built an entire interface to be able to interface the store with like essentially an API within Team Fortress. Can you tell me a little bit about that code? Like how difficult was that to make and has TF2 been like easier to work with? So I can't speak to it exactly because I've not written any of that code myself. Okay. But we have put in massive effort on the scoreboard side. We've written a custom parser to read the TF2 logs, get all the events, feed those back to the scoreboard side of the hack event. We also leverage a admin plugin on the TF2 side so we're able to send those events into TF2. And one of the things I love about this contest too is like it's very visual. One of the things I love about some of the contests some of them like it's hard to show because it's like okay you insert sequel injection or something like that and it just it's on a scoreboard. This one you get to see it. You get to experience it. You have screens behind you. They update live. You get to see bonus and what the information gathering and all the scoring real time. And then at the end of the game how do teams get scored? Because there's now points on both sides. Yeah. So it's both scores combined together and team with a higher score wins. And we've seen it be we've seen at times where both teams both sides of the team have been super balanced and they've been working together to great effort. Other times we've seen that the hackers aren't pulling their weight and the TF2 side is just dominating. Other times it's been TF2 has been outclassed. But the hackers are just knocking everything out of the park. I think it was last year or two years ago we had a single hacker that's still in high school out competing the hacking team on the other side. This isn't the finals. That's incredible. Single-handedly outperforming four other hackers. That's awesome. Hey well thank you so much. Thanks for sharing. Thank you for watching. And as always hack on. Cool. That was great. Thank you so much. Yeah. I know that happened to me like was it three years ago? Whereas single me versus the four other hackers. And that was the one year I think it was it was one of the earlier rounds though where I single handedly beat the other hacking team but it was then this.


Hey everyone, it's Owen again, and today I really want to talk about something that's been important to my UVM experience, Fraternity and Sorority Life. Fraternity and Sorority Life at UVM takes up about 8% of the population, so it is by no means encompassing the entire social scene, and I like to think of it as just being a part of another club. UVM is 8 fraternities and 6 sororities, so it's pretty close to knit and tight community. And one of the things I love most about Fraternity and Sorority Life at UVM is the philanthropy and community service aspect. All the fraternities and sororities participate in the community cleanup every year, where they clean up the streets of Burlington. Some sororities work with St. Jude's or the Ronald McDonald House downtown volunteering their time. My fraternity works with the Alzheimer's Association of Vermont, and we volunteer our time at a memory care facility out in Williston. I've also been to Haiti with my fraternity to build a house with some of my brothers over winter break, and every year we participate in Seth Rogen's Hilarity for Charity fundraiser for Alzheimer's research, and my fraternity actually won four years in a row, and Seth Rogen came to campus four years in a row, and we actually inducted him as a brother, so that's pretty cool. It's the academic and career support that you get through it. It's a great way to network with other people in different majors across the university. It's also a great way to get to know upper-classmen in your major that might be able to tutor you in some of your classes that you might be struggling in. It's also been a great opportunity for me to network in the political science field. I actually had the opportunity to go to DC last spring to actually lobby at the state capitol on fraternity and sorority issues. Thanks so much for watching and learning a little bit more about fraternity and sorority life at UVM, and definitely check out and learn more about UVM. Thanks!


Hi, my name is Baoduo Fang. It's my honor to present in the Neighbor Office Conference. Today, I'd like to talk about my GSOC project with Neighbor Office on how to select unit tests with machine learning. Let me first introduce the motivation of this project. Originally, whenever we push a patch to get it, a Jenkins job is triggered, where builds are run across all platforms, including Linux, Mac, Windows, and Android. We have observed that typically, every patch will only change a small part of the code, so only a few number of unit tests are affected. Therefore, there is no need to run all unit tests for every patch. We can skip those irrelevant or low-risk tests to save computation. And inspired by Mozilla's work, we have found that it is possible to use machine learning to select unit tests for a patch. In their work, they can achieve an accuracy over 95%, so I try to replicate their work for our CI chain. So in this project, three models are trained. Test-label-select is responsible for selecting unit tests given a patch. Test failure predicts the overall probability of a patch to fail any unit tests. Because test failure has a poor performance, test overall is introduced as an improved version of test failure, which takes test-label-select output as its input. Before you introduce the models, there is one point that needs to be clarified. Although the unit test-select model achieves a high recall, it is still dangerous to only use the unit test-selected by the model. For example, even if the model achieves a 99% failure recall, there still exists 1 in 100 failures that may escape the CI chain and can break everything. So in practice, all patches are classified into high-risk ones and low-risk ones. High-risk patches enter the fast track, while low-risk patches run the normal track to ensure correctness. The computation is saved in terms of how many platforms a patch is built on. For high-risk patches, the fast track first runs on Linux. If the model is accurate, the patch should fail on this build so all the other platforms can be skipped. If it passes the Linux build, the rest platforms will be run to ensure correctness. For low-risk patches, the normal track is just the original garage job where all platforms are built in parallel. Now let me introduce my models. The first model I'd like to talk about is called test-label-select. It takes a patch as its input and it forms a patch test pair with every unit test. After the pair is formed, it is fed into the XGBoost model where it outputs a failure probability between 0 and 1 for every pair. And then we use a threshold to decide whether a patch should fail a specific test. And during the test phase, the model achieves a 95% failure recall and 85% pass recall. In other words, among all actual failures, 95% of them are captured by the model while we can skip 85% of the successful tests. However, we can now be 100% sure about the model output even if it achieves a 95% fail recall. There still are 5% of the fail unit tests that are considered as pass. It can be a disaster if we directly merge those patches into our master branch. Therefore, a new model is needed to divide patches into high-risk ones and low-risk ones and use the fast trend and normal check mechanism I mentioned before to save the computation. As a result, test failure is proposed to predict whether a patch should fail any unit test or in other words, this model classifies every patch into high-risk ones or low-risk ones. In this model, only the patch features are considered. The model outputs a failure probability for the overall patch and similar to the test label select model, test failure also uses a threshold to decide whether a patch will fail any test. If so, it will be put in the fast track or otherwise it will remain in the normal track. In terms of its performance, we can see that its fail recall and pass recall are pretty low. So to improve the previous test failure model performance, the third model test overall is introduced by using predictions from test label select. Since test label select model can achieve a high accuracy, why not just use its prediction in test failure? Therefore, I concatenate test label select prediction with the original features in test failure and treat them as a new input to test overall and the performance is improved. However, it is still far from satisfactory. As a result, a smart inference algorithm is proposed to capture more failed unit tests. In this algorithm, we will first run test label select for all tests if it says that the patch will fail more than 10 tests then Jenkins will run the fast track. If not, we feed test label select output into the test overall model together with original features from the patches to predict the patch's probability to fail any unit test. If it is higher than 40%, it is considered as high risk ones and the fast track will be run. Otherwise, we will consider the patch as no risk and run the normal track. The algorithm improves the failure recall to 90% while keeping the pass recall at 57%. Although the project is now integrated into Jenkins, many future works can be done to improve its performance. So first, the model can be improved such that the patches entered fast track has a higher precision. Because originally the goal is to select unit tests instead of classifying patches into two tracks, fail and pass recall are considered more important. But in the current implementation, a low failure precision means that many low risk patches may enter the fast track and spending twice the time compared to the normal track. And secondly, deep learning models may be used here to improve model performance. For example, transformers may be a good option because the attention mechanism it uses is good at relating different features together and it has achieved great success in NLP and the recommender system with structured data, which is very similar to our case. However, it may slow down the inference time and it may also require more expensive machines with GPUs. And third, when the test label select model achieves a high enough accuracy, a Jenkins job based on the real unit test selection can be implemented just like the original goal of this project. Finally, I'd like to thank these people who have been very helpful to my project and my hacking with neighbor Office. I'm looking forward to participating more in the future. And thank you for your attention. If you are interested in the project, you can check the project link on GitHub. And if you have any questions, you can reach me through my email. And again, thank you for your listening.


So, what kind of things can affect things like high blood pressure? That's something that we tend to worry about, actually a bit more in society. So we've got stress here, so stress is a very, very, very common one that pushes people's blood pressure up. And actually a lot of the theme on the course is we're looking at herbs to help to support stress. Sedentary lifestyle, if you're literally sitting at a desk all day long and you don't do any exercise, you're not really using your heart. And remember your heart is a muscle, just like the muscles in your legs, so it actually needs using. The best kind of exercise is actually where you feel slightly out of breath. If you're starting to do exercise and you are maybe a little bit unfit or even if you're overweight, I do recommend seeing a doctor beforehand for a full checkup, but everyone should be starting to get into an exercise regime where they exercise about three times a week to help their heart. Obviously if you're overweight you need to look at that as well. Having a, unfortunately things like blood pressure can go up in pregnancy, this is obviously very specific to pregnancy alone. We won't be covering that that much on the course, but it's just worth understanding that can happen temporarily for a lady. This happens in older age as well. Sometimes we don't really know why it happens in older age. There are a lot of nutrients for the heart for example and sometimes older people find maybe getting a wider variety of food is actually more difficult, maybe they're on a lower income and also digestion decreases in terms of how fantastic it is as we actually age. And healthy diet, so lots of fizzy drinks, sugar, this kind of thing, fried foods. You really want to start cutting those kind of things out particularly if you have heart issues in your family and things like alcoholism. And actually things like alcoholism and drug use actually affect the vitamin mineral status in your body and those vitamins and minerals are really, really important for heart health. So we're looking here now at herbs which would be really helpful if you had high blood pressure. And remember about the herbs that we've chosen, these herbs are very effective but they're also very gentle. I just must advise against using these kinds of herbs if you're taking medication. If you are using medication and you want to use herbs for your heart, you need to go and visit a qualified herbalist in your country or your doctor just to check that it's okay to take those herbs alongside those medications. So up here actually we have Siberian ginseng, we have astragalus, ashwaganda. The reason I've actually pointed to these ones even though they're not completely in the same sentence order is these herbs are classified as adaptogens. They literally help us adapt to stress. So for example if you have a very, very busy job or you're moving house or you went through a difficult time so perhaps you have a bereavement, a relationship break up, these things can actually affect our blood pressure if they stress us out, if they get us worried.  So these herbs actually help almost modulate our reaction stress in the body and therefore in turn they help the way that the heart is responding to that as well. You've got herbs like chamomile, hops and passionflower. These three together have more of a calming and soothing effect and these are ones that you could use in the evening time for sleep but also in the daytime to calm you down and relax you. So for example if you are in a business meeting and the person that you're with you disagree with what they're saying and it's pushing your blood pressure up. Perhaps you're trying to get a deal and you can't quite communicate with them, it's pushing your blood pressure up. These are the kind of herbs to use on an ongoing basis if you're someone who responds to that kind of pressure in that kind of way. So they're really dealing more with external stimuli affecting you and then how your body responds to that, these kind of herbs at the top. These herbs here, hawthorn particularly, so hawthorn is a premier heart herb and Jill will talk more about hawthorn when we move to the next session here. So we've got hawthorn, we've got olive leaf, we have beetroot. All these herbs are working more on the heart itself and helping to regulate things like blood flow and the actual pressure. So they're working a little bit differently than the herbs at the top here but actually the way we've designed this course is a lot of these herbs can be used together. So for example if I had high blood pressure I maybe would be thinking and maybe choosing to use Siberian ginseng and I might be taking some hawthorn. These are all these herbs are safe together as well. We all need essential fatty acids, they're called essential fatty acids because they are essential, we have to get them from our diet. A lot of oils need to go into our systems every day through our diet and you may also want to supplement. So we've got linseed oil, flaxseed oil here as well but also you'd be thinking like olive oil, chia seed oil, avocados, nuts and seeds and of course a fish oil as well. If you're vegetarian or vegan obviously you use a flaxseed oil or a chia seed oil. That's because flax and fish and chia have a high source of omega 3 and omega 3 is actually really the most important omega that you need for heart health. Having a diet that is rich in dark green vegetables and a reasonable amount of fruit, I always say to my clients there's no limit on the amount of vegetables that you eat in a day and you need to try and eat dark green vegetables but actually also all kinds of colours, so peppers for example or beetroot again, all kinds of colours. Fruit, I would stick to about maybe two to three pieces per day maximum because of fruit sugar and then we've got seaweeds and land grasses. We will learn more about these in the course so I won't go into detail on them but they are things like chlorella, spirulina, blue green algae, wheat grass, barley grass. They're becoming very popular to use. You may have seen people out with their green smoothie but actually they are some of the oldest foods on the planet. Some of them are single-celled entities and that means that they were actually here even before dinosaurs for example so they're very concentrated nutrition. Also on the nutrition side of things make sure you get B vitamins, magnesium, coenzyme Q10 if you've heard of that is also really important. A lot of it is concentrated in the heart muscle so that's magnesium, B vitamins and coQ10 and of course you can use all those supplements alongside using these herbs as well. We're talking about low blood pressure at the moment. Low blood pressure is fairly common actually but most of the time it doesn't actually affect people in an adverse way. You might have had your blood pressure checked by your doctor and he might have said to you that it's actually low but you might not be feeling any kind of symptoms. Most common symptoms are people for a little bit sort of dizzy or a bit spaced out but other times people don't notice anything at all. If you do have symptoms like that and you do want to help that it's worth looking at maybe that your circulation is a little bit sluggish or isn't working as well. Sometimes people who suffer from blood sugar fluctuations or imbalances in blood sugar need to look at that as well and in this course we are going to be looking at herbs which help blood sugar as well. Herbs which also help the adrenal glands so I mentioned them before when we were looking at high blood pressure like Siberian genes saying Ashwagandha are also very important because they help the body to adapt to changes and just because actually they can help with high blood pressure this also means they're able to kind of modulate blood pressure so they're also able to help with low blood pressure as well. But it's a bit more of a tricky area so we always recommend that maybe seeking the assistance or speaking to a herbalist as well if you're trying to tackle it on your own.

Hi, I'm George Kow, and today I have a simple message for you. When you feel afraid, when you are daunted by challenges, problems, frustrations, things you're trying to do, but you don't know how, when you are afraid, it's because you've forgotten. You've forgotten who you actually are is much, much greater, much more powerful than this moment, than today, than these challenges. You've forgotten that the universe has always taken care of you, and will always take care of you. Through chance happenings, through sudden opportunities, through other people's generosity and kindness, and through your own last-minute creativity and motivation, the universe will always take care of you, always. So when you are afraid, you have forgotten, and the antidote is to remember. Come back to the remembrance as often as you need to, throughout the day. Remember that you are much greater than your problems, and the universe, through you and through others, and through chance happenings, will always take care of you. Until the next video, I wish you well, and so does buddy the pup. Take care.


So at West Point we have a couple courses that we take, there's one we take our sophomore year and one we take our senior year and within those courses they go through the breakdown of like how much fats, carbs and protein you should have in your diet percentage wise based on the level of activity that you're participating in and given like that groundwork of knowledge and then also what I learned from manipulating my weight as a wrestler I'm able to pretty well adjust on the fly how much of each macronutrient I need to consume based off of where I'm at in a particular training cycle. So for team competitions since I'm not a big athlete for CrossFit team style competitions about normal size for individual but maybe a little small for the team side I normally find myself dropping a few pounds so that way I can be a little bit better in the gymnastics realms because I'm normally the smallest guy on my team and I'm expected to complete the biggest sets of gymnastics pieces that we're faced with but for individual competitions I will try and drop weight some during the summers where I need to work a little bit more on maintaining the ability to move during times of high heat and then there's a certain way to like to be at during the winters that I feel I operate a little bit better at so I'd say it changes by the season and then based on the type of event that I'm competing in.


What is going on guys, welcome back to the channel and I do appreciate you being here. Today I bring you another Destiny 2 video and today guys I want to discuss the course Air Banties upon the Dreaming City and bring you all you need to know about these little evasive bastards and how they are obtained. But before we go any further guys, if you do enjoy the video and would like to show support you can by hitting that like button and if you are new around here and enjoy the daily Destiny 2 videos be sure to subscribe. Ok so I am seeing many people complaining all over social media about the course air banties, these badge banties from the course air. I mean you get loads of them when you don't want them but when you need them there are nowhere to be seen. What these course air badge banties are needed for are the Truth Exotic Rocket Launcher quest line. You need one to progress further into this quest. Now I never agree on an Exotic quest line or a step to an Exotic quest line being based on RNG and that's the case with this one. I am seeing many people complaining their farm for hours and nut had a single course air badge bounty drop. I have had friends farming all night and nut had one drop yet for other people They literally drop in 5 minutes like for me and I don't mean to be big headed. So what's happening here? Are these bugged for certain people or do they just have really bad RNG? Now if they were bugged no doubt Bungie would have tweeted out like they did with Werner's Banties at first as these weren't rewarding powerful gear. I mean yes cheers Bungie. Fix this when I've already completed all mine but it's ok I will take 10,000 in per year for compensation for my last bastants. But yeah if these course air banties were bugged I'd expect Bungie to tweet out about them due to the fact that they are a main part of a new Exotic quest which dropped yesterday. I mean they could be investigating an issue and not mentioning anything yet. Just stay tuned to Bungie Help over on Twitter. Now upon me recording this video and travelling about the Dreaming City I'm seeing many many people farming ads looking for one of these with no luck so today I bring you all you need to know about how these are obtained so you can progress further with your truth quest line. So a little more about these Banties.  You can obtain one badge a day, only one badge a day but if you miss a day you can end up with a next. So I will say if you wait until the day before reset you can end 7 in a day but only hold one at a time, does that make sense to you? I'm pretty sure it does. The badges once obtained hint at where you should go next and you're looking for a body of a Down's Corsair and these can be at several points within the Dreaming City. Okay so with that simple information out of the way, firstly guys the basics. You can only hold one at a time like I said so double check your pursuits tab, you don't have one of these hiding anywhere. Okay so you don't have one already. Well they only drop from Cun's scorn on the Dreaming City and as far as I know they don't drop in lost sectors for some reason so we're trying to farm the Bay of Drowned wishes up on the Dreaming City probably won't help. Also I ain't too sure if they drop from the blind well either, I mean I could be drunk here but don't recall ever having one drop here. The best place in my opinion to farm scorn for these Corsair badge banties is within the Strand area on the Dreaming City. We all take this area killing the scorn as a spawn and also keeping an eye out for the public event which spawns in here also. Plenty of scorn here to eliminate people and this is where I got mine from and all three of my characters. So this is definitely the best place for you to farm. Now in all honesty people it shouldn't be taking you hours to find these things as they are relatively common. In fact more common than blue engrams so they could be bugged. Now common instances I'm seeing people stating how these might be bugged are as follows. Not landing the final blow on the last stage enemy of the Bantie as you are doing it with teammates. This can bug the Bantie out and not allow further badges to drop. So when you get to the stage of having to locate a down course air and a boss spawns do this solo so you 100% land the final blow on this boss. Also guys if in the past you have let the Corsair Bane step of the quest expire in your inventory people are saying this further stops badges spawning on that character. So it does seem as though people are experiencing bugs with this part of the quest and while the only way to solve said bugs if that's what's happening here people is to start this truth quest on another character. I mean yes I know that blows but at the moment until a bunch of confirm a bug is happening this is your only option at the moment of getting that truth quest done if you can't get one of these Corsair Batch Banties to drop.   So that's all we have come to the end of the video if you guys enjoyed it leaving a like really does help out. If you are new around here and enjoy daily destiny videos be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video I upload you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button but guys thanks as always for stopping by and hopefully I will see you on that next one.

Hi everyone, it's Steph here from Kid Lit Joy, a channel where we celebrate all things, kids, middle grade, and young adult books. And today I'm really excited because we are going to be reviewing or having a look at and reacting to the 2024 CBCA shortlist. So if you are new to my channel and you have never seen one of these videos before, the CBCA is the Children's Book Council of Australia and they do an award series every year. So the long list is announced in February or at the end of February. The shortlist is announced in March and then the winners of the shortlist are announced in August during what we call here in Australia Book Week, which is amazing, or Children's Book Week. So yes, I thought we would jump in. I did film a reaction to the long list. I'll leave that linked on the screen for you if you would like to check it out. So for some reason, the website is not loading properly. Let's see if we can get it to properly load. Maybe not. All right. Anyway, this is the front page. The theme this year is reading is magic. And we now have the shortlist from 656 long list entries down to 36 Australian Children's Books across six categories. So we're going here to the shortlist. So you can watch the shortlist announcement. They've also, this year I think is the first time they've actually been putting together these guides, which is fantastic. And then we have our categories. So the first category is the Book of the Older Readers. And I'm so excited to see that Hunger of Thorns by Lily Wilkinson is on here. I do have a review for this book. It was a fantastic fantasy story with really strong female characters. It's really wonderful to see that it was on here. There's also Grace Notes by Karen Comer, which I haven't read, although I have read Karen Comer's books before. Ink Flower by Susie Zhao, which I have not heard of. So that could be an interesting one to explore. I don't tend to go through and try and read all of the older reader category books because these are the young adult titles. But you know, if I get a chance, maybe I'll look at some of these. If I haven't read the winner, maybe I'll read that later in the year. There's Let's Never Speak of This Again by Megan Williams, The Quiet and the Loud by Helena Fox, which I have read. This was on the Victorian Premier literary awards list this year as well. I can't remember. It may have won that actually. And also To Can Play That Game by Leanne Yong, I have read and reviewed this one as well. That one is a contemporary young adult romance between two gamers. Then we have the Book of the Younger Readers category, which is middle fiction. So books aimed at children from seven to 12 years old. There is Being Jimmy Baxter by Fiona Lloyd, which I don't know much about. Hoodo was here by H. Hayek, which I have read and absolutely loved. It is a really fun story about a pair of siblings who are trying everything to get their father back home. There is Real Pigeons Flap Out by Andrew McDonald and Illustrated by Ben Wood. Scar Town by Tristan Banks, which I've heard really good things about but haven't read myself yet. Scout and the Rescue Dogs by Diane Wolfer and Illustrated by Tony Flowers, which looks like a really cute book. I would suspect that that one's probably on the younger end of the Younger Readers category. And also the Sideways Orbit of Evie Hart by Samira Kamaladine. That one I'm really intrigued to read and pick up. I am going to try and read this entire category and review the books in it. Obviously, I've already read Hoodo was here, but I do have the other books either on hold at my library or on order. So stay tuned. I will be looking into some of these titles. All right. And then there is the Book of the Year Early Childhood category. So these ones are picture books that are aimed at ages zero to six years and they're sort of designed for children who are pre-reading or the early stages of reading. So there is Bear and Duck are Friends by Sue DiGinaro. I've read Sue DiGinaro before in the past. Her books are quite fun. I'm intrigued by this one. I haven't read it yet. I have read Can You Teach a Fish to Climate Tree by Jane Godwin and Illustrated by Terry Denton. This one isn't absolutely fun and interesting and intriguing little story about celebrating your own strengths and playing to them. There is Grace and Mr. Milligan by Kaz Godwin or Goodwin, sorry, and Illustrated by Pip Kruger. I've not heard of that one, except for when it was on the longest. So that one will be interesting to check out. There is also Gymnastica Fantastica by Brian E. Stewart who I have read before, but I haven't read this particular book by them. One Little Duck by Katrina Germain and Illustrated by Danny Snell. Again, Katrina Germain is an author I have read before, but I haven't seen this title around. And then a very, very, very famous children's author, Bob Graham, has the Concrete Garden, which I have still yet to read. I have access to it at my school library. I just have not had an opportunity to pick it up yet, so I need to prioritize that. Again, this will be a category that I read. In fact, I'll be reading the rest of these categories. So then we have the Picture Book of the Year Shortlist. So this is a category of picture book awards where the panel are looking at how the author and illustrator achieve artistic or literary unity and where it could be aimed at an audience from zero to 18 years. So quite often some of these books do feature mature themes and are for older readers. I have only read one book in this category so far. So I can't speak to most of them in terms of how mature they are. In the past we have had some quite mature themed books featured. So there is Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker. This one is actually also the book pick for National Simultaneous Storytime that's happening in May as well. So I will be reading this one every night at midnight by Peter Chong, which I have not heard of this one, but I'm intrigued. The cover is really eye-catching, so I'm looking forward to picking this one up. If I was a horse by Sophie Blackall, this is really interesting because Sophie was in this category. So this category was in this category or another category last year for her book Farmhouse. In fact, I have it sitting right here next to me and her illustrative style is so intriguing. She has a lot of collage and her storytelling is really wonderful. So I'm intrigued to see if I was a horse is similar to Farmhouse in terms of the type of story that Sophie's telling but I've not seen it yet. There is Paper Flower Girl which is illustrated by Matea Yeager and the text is by Marguerite LeMond. This one I'm really intrigued by. I think this cover is absolutely stunning and gorgeous and I can't wait to read it. There is That Bird Has Arms that has been illustrated by Rona Drogosz and Nierika Huku and the text is by Kate Temple and Joel Temple. So it'll be a very fun reading experience and I'm very curious to see how the story plays out and what is going on with this book. And then the one book that I have read in this category is Timeless by Kelly Canby, which I'll actually be rereading next month for a little mini project for the channel and I'm so excited about it. This is one of my favourite picture books from last year because the entire book is told through time puns and wordplay and it is just so fun and Kelly Canby's illustrations in this are just stunning. It was one of the very few picture books for older readers that I've actually read to my niece just because I thought she'd really enjoy the colours on the page because it's got a very brightly coloured watercolour background style. And my niece, who was only a couple of months at the time, just stared at the pages because they're so brightly coloured and I can't wait till she's older and we'll read it again. But yeah, definitely one of my favourite picture books from last year. Then we have the Eve Poundall Award. So this is an information picture book and so it documents factual information and there is consideration given to the way that that information is presented and the visual style that is used within the books. So I've actually read three of the books in this category. So there is Australia Country of Colour by Jess Raklief, which is just gorgeous. I absolutely love this book. It explores nonfiction, Australian flora and fauna through colour. So everything is categorised by colour and that's how the information is organised and it's just a really gorgeous book. There is Countrytown that is by his old Martin and Robin Ridgway and illustrated by Louise Hogan. I haven't read this one yet but I'm excited to read it when my copy arrives. Boo Gross, Foul Facts and Putrid Pictures by Dan Marshall, which my copy of this has arrived and I'm excited to pick it up. This is a slightly longer picture book and I'm very curious to see how the information is organised and what's included in here. And I know this is a book that's going to be very popular in my classroom when I finally take it in. Then there is Our Country Where History Happened by Mark Greenwood and illustrated by Frane Lisak. This is a book that I've already received a copy of and I'm really looking forward to picking it up. Mark Greenwood does some really fantastic children's nonfiction books and I'm excited to see what information is included in here and how the information is presented. Damara, A Story of Termites on Goringy Country by Violet Quadrule, Topsy Dodd. Someone has decided to start banging in an apartment upstairs. Apologies for that. Topsy Dodd, Nyanyl, Leah Lehmann, Cecilia Edwards, Cassandra Elgi, Felicity Meekins, Brianne Barr and Gregory Crachetti. This book was such a fascinating look at the history of termites in Australia and how the indigenous population utilised them in understanding country. So I'm excited to see that one on here and I have been meaning to talk about this book on the channel for a while. So I can't wait till I actually review the EVE Poundall category because I'm very excited to talk about this book. And then another one that I've absolutely loved is This Book Thinks You're Deadly by Kari Tutt and illustrated by Molly Hunt. This is a collection of short biographies on incredible Australian First Nations individuals working across a variety of fields. And it is just a wonderful, wonderful book. Kari Tutt is doing some amazing work in children's nonfiction and this one is no exception. And then finally, the last category is the CBCA Award for New Illustrator. And I have read one book in this category. So, Eta in the Shadow Taboo by Jeremy Worrell, or sorry, Illustrated by Jeremy Worrell with text by Jared Field. I don't know anything about this book. So I'm looking forward to picking it up. The cover is very intriguing to me. Grace and Mr. Milligan is making a second appearance in here. So Pip Kruger is up for the New Illustrator Award. Again, the text here was by Kaz Goodwin. So for it to be in multiple categories is pretty good. I can't remember the last time we had something that was in multiple categories in the same year. Hope is the Thing, illustrated by Erica Wagner and written by Joanna Bell. It's a really gorgeous poem in the form of a storybook. It was just lovely. I did get a review copy of this early last year and just thoroughly enjoyed it. It's such a beautifully illustrated text and it just has such a wonderful meaning behind it. So it's exciting to see it in this category. Fonabet, illustrated by Kat Drain and written by Kathy Whedon, is one I'm excited to get to. My copy of it arrived and it's an exploration of sounds in the Australian English language. The phonics and literacy teacher in me is curious to see how this book could possibly be adapted for a classroom or used in a classroom. There is Raised by Moths, illustrated by Michelle Kahn with the text by Charlie Archbold. And this one, I want to know more about it. I have this thing about circus books and I can sort of see the circus tents and the ferris wheel and I want to know more. And in case you haven't noticed, what I am trying to do with all of these books is to go into them without much knowledge if I haven't read them before and just to sort of be immersed in the book and experience that for the first time.  Cover designers and illustrators exist for a reason and that purpose is to hook you into a book. So whenever someone says don't judge a book by cover, I think you do have a bit of a right to judge a book by its cover because there are people who put a lot of time and effort into designing books to draw people in. So this one, I'm intrigued by, I love the color palette of it. I'm intrigued by the title and I just want to know what's going on with it. And then finally, there is When You're a Boy by Blake Newton. This book I also know absolutely nothing about actually has my copy arrived or it has. Hold on. Here it is. I'm excited to get to this one and find out a little bit more about what it's about because I've not heard of it much like many of the other titles here and I get really excited when I get a chance to read all of these shortlisted books and see why maybe they've been shortlisted and also if that aligns with my own thinking. All right. So those are the shortlisted books for 2024. I'll leave a link to the CBCA website down below. So if you want to check it out and have a read through and get some more details about the books you are more than welcome to. And stay tuned over the next couple of months. I will be doing my review series where I go through and read each category and then review the books in each category. So thank you very much for watching. In the comments, let me know if you've read any of these books or if you feel like something was missed in the shortlist or if you have a prediction about what you think will win in each category. If you just want to let me know that you're here but you don't want to leave a comment for free to leave an award emoji down below, there's trophies or medals or whatever you feel like represents an award for free to leave it in the comments.
