Hello everyone and welcome to theCUBE's coverage of HPE Discover 2023. I'm your host, Lisa Martin. Today I'm joined by Shown Nandi, Director Technology Industries at AWS. Shown, great to have you on theCUBE. Really excited to talk to you today. Thank you, Lisa. Super excited to be here. Let's go ahead and start. Give the audience an understanding of your role, what you're doing, all that good stuff. Yeah, I work for Amazon Web Services. I've been here several years and I look after our field tech teams. These are the folks who help our largest customers build with AWS. And I'm especially focused on our industry's customers. So whether you're in financial services or travel or healthcare or automotive or manufacturing, we're thinking through the use cases and how you help your customers. And my team goes out there to work with your engineers and your product managers and all the folks in your company. Got it. We wanna talk about, start with the hottest topic, I think on the planet, not just in tech, generative AI or gen AI, super white hot topic. It's captured so much attention, even kids are talking about it. Talk a little bit about what AWS is doing with generative AI to help customers really maximize the value of AI and ML for their organizations. Yeah, you sort of have to start and realize that generative AI feels a bit like magic, but it's not. It's actually evolutionary. It's building on all the work that we and many others have been doing for a long time. Generative AI is powered by machine learning models. These are really large models that are pre-trained on tons of data and we call them foundation models. And what we're doing is trying to offer customers lots of choice. We're making the best foundation models available to customers to use in easier and simpler ways. We're also helping our builder customers go and design and build their own foundation models when they need to. And we're looking at building tooling. I'll tell you a bit about that if we have time that helps people put this right to work with minimal effort in different types of use cases. So there's a lot. There's a lot happening in the space. Absolutely. I love that you said generative AI is evolutionary. That's definitely something I think is quite intriguing. We know that Amazon and AWS have played a really big role in democratizing machine learning so that it's accessible to anyone who wants to use it. Talk about why that's important really to the ethos overall Amazon and AWS. Yeah, you know, we've been working on AI and ML in some fashion for almost 20 years it is part of our heritage. It's also part of our future. You know, it started inside Amazon where we thought about robotic picking rates and our fulfillment centers and supply chain and forecasting and computer vision. And of course, everyone knows about Alexa. When we think about AWS, you know, one of our key concepts, one of our leadership principles is cups room obsession. We want to help our customers succeed. And we think having these tools will help our customers build faster more effectively for their customers come to outcomes that they couldn't come to otherwise whether they do them more quickly, more inexpensively, more securely. And so it sort of plays right to the heart of what cloud was built to do. That's why I sort of call it evolutionary, right? It's just one more really, really big tool. I can't just call it another tool in the toolkit that will help customers get there. And I mean the level of passion is intense, right? Everyone, everyone is talking and asking about this like you said. I can only imagine and we've been covering AWS for so long and we know well on theCUBE, the customer obsession is real, but it's also shared in the ecosystem. We're going to be talking about that, but I also want you to kind of share, AWS has a very broad and deep portfolio of both AI and machine learning services at all three layers of the stack. Walk me through that so we really get the, the, the net and that depth and breadth. Yeah, probably what's exciting folks the most is our latest offering that's just entered preview, which is called Amazon Bedrock. And Bedrock is all about bringing capabilities in so that customers can access their foundation models with minimal effort. We support secure customization. It's a service that basically makes the best foundation models, some of the ones we've seen out there, both from Amazon, we're going to have a first party model and from some of the leading startups like AI 21 Labs, an anthropic and stability AI available by API. By making it available by API, that's part of the democracy you alluded to earlier so that all builders can just get to it and access it and fine tune it. We're also, also of course thinking about that layer cake offering all the infrastructure layer capabilities that customers might need. We've built a foundation model hub and SageMaker. We have of course our leading infrastructure offerings including our GPU backed instances, our custom AWS silicon influences like Inferentia. So we sort of go across the whole stack. And last but not least, we're starting to build some unique applications like AWS Code Whisper, which is a code assistant that helps builders build and gives them advice and counsel on how to go and write code in real time. That's one we might end up talking about more. I can't imagine how excited those builders are and the decision makers as well. So big, huge investments that AWS is making in AI and machine learning hugely impactful to customers. Talk about the impact on the partner ecosystem which I know is enormous. Yeah, look partners, they're benefiting in almost every possible way here. They have customers asking for help on visualizing the right use cases. Love talking about industry use cases. There are partners who are thinking of going and building up on top of the stack and even partners who are directly benefiting from the tooling already. So if I think about one big partner Accenture that Amazon Code Whisper offering, I mentioned that's the AI coding companion. They've discovered it is already helping reduce their development efforts by 30%. So their developers can focus more on security quality and performance as they build applications and products for their customers. So they are both benefiting from helping customers that opt in AI by using it themselves to accelerate their outcomes. Very symbiotic, I love that. And we know that that generative AI, like we said, it's such a hot topic. It's also already having impact, big impact across a lot of industries. I'd love to know, are there, you mentioned some in the beginning, any industries in particular where that are really early adopters where AWS is seeing the strongest traction? Yeah, look, it's super early. Every industry is excited and uncomfortable and nervous. And they're looking for some key elements, right? They're looking to understand intellectual property rights and security and regulatory oversight. And so we are thinking about that from the beginning. We're thinking about the elements to allow them to use their data-trained models. When you think about industries that are regulated like financial services and healthcare, they see potential to help their advisors get insights faster, move through approvals processes more quickly, providing personalized financial advice, but they have to make sure they get through the right regulatory steps. And a lot of that is understanding what data is being used to train these models. In healthcare, we know it's going to help researchers. We know it's going to help summarize data for them and give them quick insights back. And we've done a bunch of early work with healthcare companies on building, in some cases, chatbots that are really narrow and private using very curated data. But if you think about it over time, where we think this will go, is doctors and practitioners able to get advice? Right, it may not be advice they can run with without expertise, but it'll help summarize the thinking so they can put in sort of the challenges you're seeing and get ideas on what they might do next. And last but not least, media and entertainment. Wow, we saw publicly one of the large M&E companies did their first sort of background in an early production done by Generative AI back in February. We expect more of that. And media companies do refine the right balance between protecting their creators and using this capability to sort of accelerate their ability to build content. So there's lots, there's lots happening from an industry perspective. And I can't think of an industry that won't be able to use this technology in one way or another. I agree, you brought up some great use cases in healthcare and financial services, media and entertainment. I imagine education as well, but to your point, no industry will be left untouched and hopefully be able to tap into the potential. You mentioned some of the tools you mentioned, Code Whisperer and No SageMaker. Just give the audience an understanding of some of the tools that AWS has that customers can use for building Generative AI on AWS. Yeah, you know, I started with and I'll continue to talk about Bedrock, right? Bedrock is so exciting because one of the things that's changing so quickly is many of the leading startups are releasing and providing foundation models. I had mentioned those earlier that really help drive, that's what powers LLMs. And what we've done through Bedrock is make these LLMs available, these foundation models available via API. So a builder who's going to build a product who wants to get that interactive element in doesn't have to figure out how to go and get that foundation model on their infrastructure, figure out how to go and work with it and configure it. They can just go do that through Bedrock. So it's going to accelerate them. And in addition, we're going to be providing some of our own foundation models, which is also super exciting. So customers will have choice and we think choice is amazing power. It also means they'll be able to control where their data goes. What's unique for most enterprises and industry companies operating here is they have their data. Their data is probably the key to their success. So you can go and work with something like Bedrock to control where your data goes. You can customize these models and still keep your data private and secure. So that gives you the option to get curated answers to your questions, but not sort of lose that access and control to your data and not share it with others. So the guardrails are built in. Oh, the guardrails are a big part of our design model. That's one of the things we're working through and we understand that different customers will have different levels of concern. Some customers, by the way, are going to want to use publicly available data. Right, guardrails aren't going to be top of mind for them, but that's some minority in the enterprise. Most enterprises, they're pretty worried about their data. I agree. You must have, with all this excitement around Gen AI and all that AWS is doing, you talked a lot about Bedrock and the capabilities foundationally that that will deliver. You must have a favorite customer story that you think really shines a light on the value that AWS is going to enable customers to unlock with Gen AI. Share an example with me. It's all about moving fast. And I probably already spoiled my first and favorite example, the Accenture, getting that massive time savings for their engineers using Code Whisper. We've also seen customers like Finch Computing who reduce costs by 80% using Inferentia who are developing foundation models. So right now it's very early in this race, many of the startups are trying to build these foundation models. I think the best ones, the most exciting examples are the ones we're still building, working with some of those healthcare companies who are out building these drug discovery chatbots and engagement with researchers and some of the summarization. So lots more to come in this space, but every week you're in here about somebody new doing something really great. I bet there's never going to be a dull moment with this at all. Let's pivot a little bit on the ecosystem. In our last few minutes here, and AWS and HPE in particular have been partners for a long time. Talk to me about the partnership. What are some of the great things that you guys are doing together? You know, the partnerships really awesome. And I think one of the areas of focus for us is how can we make sure that HPE is what they build for their customers and the customers who are then also operating AWS. How do we simplify that engagement? How do we bridge what they're running with HPE and what they're working on with AWS? The first is trying to make HPE's products available in our marketplace. That's been incredible. That's been awesome. It becomes a one-stop shop for customers. The second, HPE GreenLake, private cloud enterprise, it's tied to Amazon EKS anywhere. So if you haven't heard about EKS anywhere, EKS anywhere is based on Amazon's Elastic Kubernetes Service, EKS. We use Kubernetes to orchestrate containers and workloads in the cloud. And what EKS anywhere enables is for you to do that on-premise with your existing infrastructure. And so HPE GreenLake ties all that together. It uses EKS anywhere. It lets you orchestrate and simplify your Kubernetes deployments across bare metal hosts, VMware, cloud stack. And the good thing for our joint customers, it uses the same Kubernetes distribution that we use for EKS in the cloud. So you have the same versioning, you have the same dependencies, you have sort of consistent software update processes and security patches. So it's really bringing it all together to become between HPE and AWS, a one-stop shop for customers. So then this might be a silly question, but if I'm a big AWS shop from a builder or am I a decision maker, what's in it for me in terms of the power and the breadth and the depth of what AWS and HPE are doing for me as a customer? Well, it means that for that piece of compute that you still have sitting in your data center, HPE now has an offering that'll knit the two together so that you're not operating in siloed fashion, so they're not separated. So you're bringing it together using EKS anywhere, running as part of GreenLake in this case, GreenLake PCE. And you just have a single, you have a single sort of approach. It's not bifurcated anymore like it used to be. And that's really great. That really simplifies their lives and of course it applies their security model. Absolutely, when the security model is so important. Any final thoughts, Shown, you talked to us about the ethos of Amazon and AWS, where gen AI fits in that, gen AI is an evolutionary model, which I love. Anything that you wanna leave our audience with any final thoughts? Look, I started by saying it's evolutionary. What I really meant by that is it feels like magic, right? You see these questions being answered amazingly by the latest consumer offerings. And the reason I say it's evolutionary is for those who've been working in this space a long time, we knew the potential was here, but all the pieces of cloud, having infrastructure operating its scale, bringing together our managed services, now makes it doable quickly. And that's all that AI ML work over the last 20 years sort of coming together, and starting to drive this value. I think that's exciting. I think it's gonna let our customers build so much faster, build so many better things and go impact the world. That's important to us. And I'll tell you, if you wanna hear more, tune in for the keynote, you're gonna see Dr. Madd Wood from AWS on a panel talking more about this. That's gonna be great. Awesome, huge impact to come dot, dot, dot. We'd be waiting to see what they talk about on the keynote. Shown, thank you so much for joining me on theCUBE today, giving us a great overview of what you guys are doing with gen AI and the huge impact and potential that you're gonna be able to enable every industry. We appreciate your time. Thank you for having me. I appreciate it, have a great day. You too. We wanna thank you for watching theCUBE's coverage of HPE Discover 2023. For much more content on HPE Discover, keep it right here on theCUBE, the leader in tech event coverage.

She's got the Red Sox That'd be land in age congrats Landon 13 out of 50 as JD not tweeting the That one when you go shopping sir to go unbox for her powder Gilbert and the throwback diamond back Jersey That's pretty cool Rizzo and cast the ops Sean shopping guys the link again 16 to go now Thank you guys. We're getting there. We are getting there Stop John Johnny shout from Hawaii Trevor story Julia The top stuff is fun man pocket arm Shane Bieber stop Tony Loss in orbit Mike trout nice one there for the angels Nick G Lars new bar That's new bad a Brian De La Cruz black Nine of ten nice one for the Marlins Who's got Miami? That's pretty cool Landon H Grats on that one Louis heel and Jake burger probably around 12 o'clock. We'll probably end up running late here or there So I would figure anywhere between 12 and 12 30 1245 One a.m. to 9 a.m. person. Yeah, right Loco there's a Torkelson rookie. Yeah parts do look really clean. They are clean Scopes darling where it's at for the Mets Steven Kwan rookie the Kwan, baby I'll move to a pop gun rip overnight personals Mom Marquez Bobby White rookie Siri there's a launch in orbit Bryce Harper Jeff McNeil. It's gonna be 30 degrees there tonight. Oh my god That's not too far from us either who Six, where's he at North Carolina? There's a Jern Duran blue this time four out of 99 for the Red Sox nice one there again Boston Landon H Touching out probably no silver packs Gabriel Arias rookie for the Guardians And wild and Jeff face Yeah All right next box Warzone's going I must be so hard to load into cod right now.  There's an O'Neil cruise rookie. These are so clean-looking man Plus, I don't stick together yet He word is yet on that one No complaints out of right now Meadows Tony Santillan base, that's Tyler McGill refractor rookie for the Mets Dettner's Try to get you to buy things very true Maggie blue Zach Wheeler. That's gonna be number 54 out of 99 for the Phils and J rod Missuming you meant Jeremy Pena Julia Super for a second gold Anthony Swanson 25 out of 50. That's going to the Braves. Nice one there Atlanta. Chris D. Oh, is there Amiris on the scope? Nice J ran for the Guardians. Oh, it's on a brave. There's a Jeremy Pena rookie speaking of areas Launched into orbit for Nando Tatis face Freddie Freeman Andrew Vaughan to go It's the clutch in the matrix right there honestly Zach Wheeler Launched an orbit Sammy Sosa for the Cubs nice one there. We got now 15 to go guys breaking soon. We've got 21-22 a Don Russ optic hobby Six box break PYT and Elliot Ramos. I think it might be a good idea. Honestly Kyle Great in that pain you out of five.  Nice one there. I'm the Vladdy not number. Yeah, not numbered auto Trevor story go ahead six.  I Have an idea of what you're gonna say say as a Zuki rookie Yes Yeah, I've seen this I've seen this theory Marcus Simeon gold 50 of 50 That is going to the Rangers right there Al of PSA The NFL team has played in the XFL. Yeah, I've seen that before Wander rookie nice one there Brandon Marsh Auto Lopez Blue Marcus Simeon again this time at 37 out of 99 for the Rangers Grats on that one there Texas Yeah, I would say like the BGS black labels probably still the most like If you can get a card in any grade like you'd want the BGS black label Got an orange coming up here first stop a launch into orbit Alonzo Orange Jared Walsh orange lava 15 out of 25 Nice one there Ryan Mountcast is nothing crazy yet. So now think of a dull Bruhan blue to 99 and then just a couple wander rookies I don't think anything really outside of that Like no raiders now three What are you doing? Yeah, I got a jump I want to jump in with you for sure David Peralta. Yes, David Peralta and Lindor Honestly, probably six All right next box guys. Good luck here. We're all the gaming kids doing out there dancing around with each other Guys Sam got a new outfit at the mall today Is it a onesie? Oh, yeah I Gold Schmidt No, I probably need to I Just have my stuff up on eBay Gold Lorenzo came secondary color match for the brew crew Nice one there. It's gonna be 45 out of 50. That's one there Cal Raleigh. It's a medium Chameleon for me. That's Sam washing the orbit mookie bets CJ Abrams Oh, yeah Well, you gave me though because of the jurors Spencer Torkelson Stephen Kwan base rookies Yeah, it's true. They do look a lot like I said It's kind of like if tops fire tops chrome and bowman's best came together This is this is what the products would be But it's good-looking like those are three good things to take ideas from you know what I mean? You have like the chrome Josh low refractor rookie for the race You have the chrome that comes in from the tops chrome obviously you have like the thin stock from the bowman's best that light feel to it and then you have the Design of soft spot. That's a lot less base to Gabriel rice rookie on the back there auto is the color and then the case hits are the supernovas and the youth What's the J. Ron called you? You've invasion Those are the case hits youth invasion supernova Supernovas are limited to only 100 Rumored to be limited to a hundred copies per player as well The Mayhew refractor launch into orbit Ken Griffey, Jr These are cool, too. I love these inserts Base we seal on the back Bobby Whit rookie Shabbon Oh, yeah, Jonathan India blue 45 out of 99 still can't I Think the toughest thing good Colton Walker scope rookie nice one there Patch wisdom I know It's like yo, just get it's basically telling you like hey get better. Yeah, get better get better keep saying How about you get better So many spots we're looking at now 14 to go now an optic 14 22 and 19 on the next couple of breaks sold out on our Ten box mixer as well basketball. Thank you guys there A lot of good teams left everything is on sale as well. So take a look you're interested in some basketball Blue Alec Thomas nice one there 25 out of 99 for the Diamondbacks Santee on watching the orbit Luis Robert O'Neil Cruz rookie 2023 MLB Who's gonna probably gonna be like called up next year or at least considered a rookie? Um Pretty sure Valera George Valera for the Guardians made the 40 man the playoff roster He'll be good Yeah, Alvarez will be really good. He's on the Matt's right Yeah, I was gonna say he'll technically be a rookie next year Rendon Matt Olson. Yeah, I think that's what it breaks down to it. So now I think it's usually about three or four a case McCutcheon Kepler, but it's kind of similar to prism in the sense. You're chasing color more than you are Autos and stuff. Yeah, Jayrod rookie Launch into orbit Ronald Acuna Set beer old Jeremy Pena There you go, Julio That is 38 out of 50 nice one there, buddy Congrats on the World Series MVP nice Pena very nice. We'll get that into a mag for it scope Elliot Ramos rookie and a Jeremy Pena rookie as well. I would have packed. There's a big Carlos Pena for sure It's Freddy Freeman on the scope for the doiers Elliot Ramos It's not bad honestly Those are like bulk is more like stuff you could just forget about you know, you send out forget about Yeah, I got a couple of those. Yeah, I got a pretty good PSA stuff right now ready. Yeah, I just haven't bothered with it yet Yeah, I got like a Bobby Whit like base first Tatis base Bowman first that one's pretty solid Um Like a numbered Shrout out of something too and like few others just like stuff you can Send out forget about you know of Johnny Quaito. Nice. Congrats white socks James D four of five on the Quedo Ken did not know he was still in the MLB until right now. Oh till today Nice Johnny Quaid. I love the Reds man pulled an entire rainbow today. I'm pretty sure So far one case entire rainbow not of one guy of course of like The colors you can get pull the super pull the red pull the black pull the orange pull the gold Hold the blue wander rookie nice Kyle Hamilton auto. Oh, yeah. Love to hear that there John Stop fun. Oh This is launching an orbit show. Hey, Ohtani Out of Lopez they kind of do honestly I Pulled we pulled a super first box. I pulled a super car Santillan Nice one there Carlos Correa. Nice John. Yeah, that's awesome. He was such a stud. I loved him at Notre Dame Like I don't love Notre Dame But I really did enjoy watching Kyle Hamilton Yes, yeah, some of the faces. Oh, yeah, there's some there's been some Some sets where they have done a couple of players really dirty like that tops from platinum anniversary Joe Ryan It was Walker Bueller super auto for the Dodgers Remember top from platinum anniversary.  There's say a Suzuki Yeah, her back. They destroyed him. Yeah, that poor guy That poor poor soul Brice and stop There's Dan's v. Swanson blue 48 out of 99 for the Braves Tyler Gilbert and Alonza So the follow there isn't me Who is it then? 14 to go still guys all teams are on sale over on the optic PYT check it on out Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. Don't have a ton of optic left. So not that I know of at least So not gonna do a ton more breaks of it Especially with new stuff coming out. So get it get in on it. Well, you can I would say for sure All right, two boxes to go here guys, and we'll do our quick recap orange of Louis heel nice one there Yankees Who has New York? Where are the Yankees? That is Kirk L Congrats Kirk eight out of 25 Yeah, I think just ship it. I think they're available for Kyle Think we did kind of the same thing with Gypsy Queen when it first came out to co-ar Josh fell new bar rookie Pete Alonzo super. Holy cow. Nice. There you go, Jimmy Lindor blue Blake Snell nice Nelzilla 37 out of 99.

I think and And Paul Goldschmidt auto there you go Cardinals Nam cue Graz Nam cue nice Goldie Not not numbered Josh Donaldson scope Ernie Clement Bobby with junior rookie Nicolette and G from your LCS sounds good Kyle I Know honestly because he's just like you know what I think it is and this is like there's a Torkelson rookie This is nothing against Paul Goldschmidt. I think he's a fantastic player. He's kind of boring. You know what I mean Yeah, he doesn't have a lot of flash in his game Even Kwong he's not looking for the spotlight. Yeah Like he does a lot of things really well You know what I mean? He's just like Not super flat. Yeah, it's quiet guy to exactly Yeah, I wouldn't say I take it back. I wouldn't say he's boring.

That'll do it for the break there guys Thanks again for the fill next up. We have another half case of this or no a full case of this


So my name is Ginny Getzo, and I work for IBM. I love my company, IBM. And about six months, it was actually last June, with the permission of my loving husband and the vice president of my organization, I decided to pursue a dream. And this dream involved open source projects and a local nonprofit called Trosa. Now, I wish that my lightning talk today was about how that dream was fulfilled in all those details. Instead, my lightning talk today is about my colossal year of failures, my lost year, I call it. And so what I want to do is I want to talk to you guys and give you a call to action, like Emily did, is get involved. It's so important to go ahead and step out, get involved. And for anyone who's part of the North Carolina area, anyone from Durham, please join me as I get involved. So here's four joys for getting involved. So the first part about being part of meetups, going to events, is you get to meet great people. I have a hobby of going to hackathons, going to meetups, doing a lot of things. And there's three that I absolutely adore. I love tech girls. They focus on education for middle school girls. I love pie ladies. It's a fantastic Python community. That's a real community. And then Code for Durham, which is part of the Code for America chapter. Why do I love these? It kind of feels like that old 80s, 90s sitcom cheers where people know you and they know your name. So connections, you get connections, you meet more people. And it's just like the excitement that you're feeling at this event, the things that you're learning. Those are happening in your towns every single night. So the next part that's exciting is you not only get to meet great people, but you get to meet great people that are doing amazing things. So who knows about Code for America? So if you don't look it up, it's a phenomenal organization. And they operate on two different levels. From a very pragmatic perspective, I get together bimonthly with my folks from Durham and we solve real problems. And then on a national level, we're sharing code and we're having broader discussions about gentrification and others. There's a Great New York Times article about what the local Durham chapter did with looking at racial profiling with policing. It's a fantastic write-up and it's a really interesting look at data and accessing data. The other part that I wanna highlight here is sometimes when you're in technology, things can get overwhelming. There's something always new to learn. And what I find is my communities ground me. They're a safe place to go to. And someplace I can just return and be re-inspired. So the third joy is not only do you meet people doing great things, but you get to do great things. So my involvement in especially tech girls has really opened up the doors. So I've done part of being, part of being with the Linux group, I did a presentation on as a Windows person, what does Linux look like to me? It was a good low entry to doing a presentation. With tech girls, we had a problem with attendance. So I got to use my Python skills to write an app that checks for attendance. And now in a couple weeks, I'm gonna be presenting a source code management class with Jason Rudolph from GitHub to middle school girls. And so I'm able to learn more about source code management and those kind of things. So the big lesson I wanna take away too, or you guys are here, is the little things all matter. So it's getting on Stack Overflow is not a big deal, but it helps so much. Being able to see your Google history while you're debugging things helps so much. And you'll pick up those tools along the way. And the other part is don't get tied up in making decisions. You can always pick a new language. You can be polyglot. You can always pick a new distribution of Linux. You can always deploy and you probably will deploy on many different places. Just try it out, kick the tires, you're not committed to it. And then the counter to that is build muscle memory. Spend time when it gets tough, push through it, stay in that place, stay in that location, and build that muscle memory. And then the last part I've already mentioned, if you wanna really learn something, then teach it. It's a great opportunity. So the last joy is remembering why you got here in the first place. And I'll close out with this great quote from Ellen Lumen. When you forget why you're here, just remember it'll tack into what you love. Tack into the work you love and the desire that brought you there in the first place. This creates a suspension of time, opens up a spacious room of your own in which you can walk around and consider your response. Thanks.


My dear students, today I shall be introducing a new concept called Media Literacy Theory. You must understand what media literacy is in the modern day context. Media literacy is a very important role in a democratic society. Media literacy is the need of the day because media has been functioning more than what it is all these days. The question is, what exactly is the role of the media in a modern democratic society? Media is supposed to impart, educate and entertain. Information is fine, education is required, entertainment has become all the more important these days. With the explosion of media and media technology, the world is moving towards a mediated society. The concept of globalization has become real because of the mass media. Marshall McLuhan talked about medium as the message. In fact, he said medium is the message. Medium is all powerful today because all of us believe in whatever a medium means. Media literacy means trying to understand what mass media do to the people. Most of us do not know how media operate in a society. It is mysterious, it is glamorous, but the effect of media messengers is enormous. People have faith in mass media. We know that mass media are called as the fourth state. In fact, it was called as the fourth state because of the press which played the role of an opposition in a democratic quality. But with the electronic media coming into the picture, we have started using mass media in place of the press. Apart from the legislature, the judiciary, the executive, the mass media are considered to be a pillar of a democratic nation. By the time that we have gone into a new era of globalization, a new era of technological determination, a new era of media becoming very powerful, the role of the media has to be scrutinized. So where exactly we have to do it, it is not with anybody else, it is with the audience. The audience are considered to be very passive. No, audience are dynamic. Audience will have to take care of the media performance. Media, when they perform, they do not bother about the audience because there is something called as pluralistic ignorance among media persons. The reason is simple. Media people, they brush shoulders with the people in power. They think that they are powerful, they think that they know everything and at times they become cynical also. The cynical aspect of mass media persons is a cause of worry for all of us. It is okay to be cynical, but it has to be healthy things, for example. But unfortunately, it is leading us to put the audience down. So the question is how to make them understand what should be their role. Nobody can do it because it is only the audience who can do it. If the audience reject a particular media outlet, then they can understand the thought of the audience. You must also remember that audiences are dynamic, they are not passive. But in a country like India, where the rate of literacy is not even 60-70%, there is a very need for us to educate the people about the media. That's why media literacy has become important. One of the basic principles of mass communication is that mass media should play the role of a guardian angel of the society. Unfortunately, the days of corporatization have moved large and have taken over the role of the guardian as a commercial role. Profit motive is a very important problem. We call this as corporatization of mass communication or what we call as media operation. The basic premise behind corporatization is to make money and make more money. This is not the exact role of mass media. To survive, mass media should become commercial, should make money, but at the same time they should not avoid their social responsibility. Mass communication is a profession where social responsibility is equally important. So who should build a cat? It is the audience. It is not the question that nobody can build a cat, it is the audience. They have to understand the role and operation of mass media. Mass media in pursuit of profit have forgotten the ethical principles of mass communication. The ethical principles say mass media should be objective, mass media should be fair and mass media should be truthful. Again, the question is how far mass media are truthful? Are they telling the truth? Are they telling partial truth? Are they camouflaging the truth in the guise of making profits for themselves? It appears corporatization has taken a toll on the social responsibility and duty of the mass media. Mass media have to be ethical, they have to be moral because the society depends upon them for guidance. Once mass media lose credibility, then they have no chance of survival. Unfortunately, in a country like India where there are hundreds and hundreds of television channels, hundreds and hundreds of radio stations and almost 100,000 newspapers and magazines which is quite contrast with the western media scenario, we have to understand that we have to be on our watch to tell them what we are doing is correct or what we are not doing is... what we are doing is in thought, that is how we have to put it. The question of objectivity is very important. Long, long ago, the famous editor of Manchester Guardian, C.P. Scott made a statement, facts are sacred, common is free. Unfortunately, today in the rat race for influencing people, we have taken to what is known as Adyuthi Sridharanandasana where facts and opinions are mixed and a hybrid news content is given. I think this is where people have to be very careful. Today we must understand that news is a product, mass media are a manufacturer in the industry. The manufacturer facts and also works in India and long ago western scholars, particularly European scholars called mass communication media as a cultural industry.  The question is the impact of these contents on the audience. How far they are influenced? Today in India we are debating among how to preserve our culture from the western influence. The young people who are exposed to new technology, particularly new media, they are becoming more and more westernized. Our value system, our culture will have to be taken care of but there appears to be a slight deviation from what it should have been. It doesn't mean that we should not expose our children to the outside world. They should know everything, but at the same time we have to safeguard our value system. What is good from the west should be taken, what is not good should be described. Unfortunately it appears that a particular section of youth, highly urban, they are becoming influenced by the western media. It is not really the intelligence level or reception level of our young people. And once objectivity is lost, everything is lost. But in today's journalism, is objectivity their myth? Long ago I wrote an article, the myth and death of objectivity in journalism. Is it true the media, as the both states, if they start overruling the other three states, what will happen to democracy? Today trial by media has become calm and people have started drama, their reputation are extinct, their family life is extinct because rumors are manufactured and they are distributed without impunity. Now the whole question is what should be done? There are three vulnerable sections in the society we have to understand. One is the children. The children get attracted to the audio-visual medium very quickly, television. Television impact on children has been discussed, debated even in the west. And unfortunately again we are taking whatever the west has already experienced as a new passion in our country. I think it is better to scrutinize everything before accepting whatever the west gives. And the second section is women. Women are considered to be a vulnerable section and commoditization has taken place. The stereotype that is very important we have to tell people that a new stereotype of women, women with self-respect and independence should be projected. And the third one is the weaker sections of the society which we talk of inclusivity. Inclusivity that is social, cultural, inclusion is very important. We have to give adequate space for all these sections in the media and project them as human beings but not as people who can be used and thrown. And here comes the real power of media. Media prompted violence is another area of concern where media literacy comes into play. When media are scrutinized this aspect should also be considered because media should promote peace and harmony and not violence. Unfortunately in the rat race for making money media are projecting too much of violence and they are becoming immune to violence and it appears the society has accepted violence as part and parcel of daily life. And this is another area of concern which we will have to talk about. And the most important point here is we have to de-glamorous the operations of media. For many people media are glamorous. There is something called as celebrity syndrome even in our media where we make people celebrities over mind and at some point of time they are thrown into the dustbin of history. I believe that the time has come for us to evaluate the media role, media operation and media performance so that we can portion the media to be on the right track. This is basically the main objective of media literacy. UNESCO has made media literacy as one of its prime areas of operation, prime areas of concern. It has joined hands with the University of Watenburg and Nordic.com and every year mass media literacy group is published by these three organizations together. And it covers the entire view of research articles, case studies and yeses of opinion are published. And in India also UNESCO has given the media literacy drive to a public trust which is spearheading in different parts of the country. The most important point is once again we have to involve children and students in media literacy programs. In many universities where mass communication or communication or journalism whatever they do not stress much on media literacy but in a country driven by violence, driven by sectarian affiliations I think media will have to play a constructive role, a role which has to play the entire world on a path of justice, equality, peace and harmony. And that is the main objective of media literacy and that is the objective of UNESCO also. In India I personally think at least a few identified university departments of mass communication should teach media literacy, should also engage themselves in research on media literacy so that people will understand media. Yet another important point which I would like to stress is the world over there is a new culture emerging that is the prosumer culture. Media are operated by common people and they produce contents for themselves that is producer, consumer culture that is what we call as prosumer and it is already making waves in European countries and we should also bring such a method into India where common people themselves will become media operators. And citizen journalism is one point in such a direction but it is done by the major media houses and the professional angle of citizen journalism is always talked about because many people think that citizen journalism does not have the professional aspect in it but we must understand that mass communication is communication by the masses for the masses and of the masses not by a handful of professional minority who can dictate terms and tell what they know is what the world should know it cannot be, people know, impact, people know better. Let us all join in popularizing the concept of media literacy especially in India, a country which is multi-Indian, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural I believe the time has come for this to be. Let me also tell you that mass media are a cultural institution and mass media when they put out their programs they are reflecting the culture of the society in which they operate the other three institutions are school, family and religion but all of them are intertwined in a way because culture is not a product of a single institution it is a collective production of all the whole institutions which we call as institutions of culture mass media they not only produce culture but also reflect culture and here media literacy is intertwined with culture because people see everything through their own eyes I mean the cultural eyes because their socio-cultural background gives a definite perception of the content each individual with a different socio-cultural background may perceive everything differently that is where I think media literacy has to be investigated in conjunction with the other three institutions we can't ignore the pre-European influence which happens in the school we can't ignore the influence of the teacher or the envoys, we can't ignore the impact of religion and all these the family the family has got perhaps even greater impact than other three institutions media will have to work in tune with what people want but it does not mean that we should give all bad things because we have the human instinct of asking for better products we have to be the signpost, we have to be the guidepost of the society here media literacy plays a role because we are telling what exactly is the role of the media in a society like ours one additional point is the emergence of new technology new technology has made this world very small time and space have been conquered today an alien culture can be seen on the internet I mean on the computer screen because of the influence and availability of the internet so the world is coming closer but how to use this new technology for the welfare of the old mankind unfortunately the new media particularly social media are being used for bad purposes also particularly the youngsters are using it to attack others cyber bullying that is becoming common across the country young children, children who are not even eight to nine years they have their own social media accounts and they keep on attacking their classmates, their friends and particularly girls are being attacked, ladies are being projected in a different way which is not very decent I believe that the time has come for media people to have perhaps a social media brigade watchmen to see cyber bullying and such obscene projections are stopped I know that the digital world cannot be controlled but it can be managed and it is the responsibility of the entire society not of one individual because we are talking about people themselves becoming media persons they should not only become media persons they should also become media watchers or commit the size they should become watchdogs of media so that media particularly in sensitive situations will not use it for making money and not of the misery of the common people particularly the vulnerable sections of the society this is very important in the sense that media literacy will be taking care of all dimensions all dimensions of mass communication whether it is conventional media or whether it is a new media there should be a guarded filtering of the media contents so that our young generation will not get influenced by such bad contents media conventionally they were considered to be with a mission of guarding the freedom of the people the value system of the people and supplementing those underprivileged and deep privileged sections of the society but in the rat race for making profits there is slight deviation in the whole process the question again pops up what should be the exact role of media the role of the media ultimately is to be part of the social aspirations and the cultural signposts will have to be created or recreated for the benefit of the entire mass this is where media literacy has to become very prominent and people should be told that they have to evaluate, analyze and pass judgments about media performance it is again a function where making people educated about the media comes into question and it is the responsibility of all the people in the society to think of media literacy and fortunately some groups of young people they have taken to media literacy and they have taken to express their opinions in a violent society where they say we want peace, we want education, we want good life and this is where media literacy is important


Now that we have the notion of what it means to factory polynomial, let's talk about the complete factorization of a polynomial. Now fair warning, factoring is the hardest easy problem in mathematics. What we mean by that is that it's easy to explain what the problem is, but it's often very hard to actually solve the problem. Now from your previous experience factoring numbers, you might think that's not the case, factoring's easy. But the truth is, it only seems to be easy because we've only ever asked to solve easy problems. So for example, factor 12, well that's easy. On the other hand, factor 3,891, well that's hard. Let's set down some ground rules. When we factor integers, we look for integer factors, two integers that multiply to a number. So 20 is equal to 5 times 4, and not even though it's true, one-third times 60. And that's because one-third is not an integer factor. We'll make a similar restriction for factoring polynomials. When we factor polynomials with rational coefficients, we look for factors with rational coefficients. So we can factor x squared minus x minus 20 as, well, I don't know, x minus 5 times x plus 4. So here we see that both of our factors have rational coefficients, and this is a factorization. Well, how do we know when to stop? We say a polynomial is irreducible over the rationals if it cannot be written as a product of lower-degree polynomials with rational coefficients. So 3x plus 5 is irreducible. x squared plus x is not irreducible because x squared plus x is x times x plus 1. And so we say that a polynomial has been completely factored when it is written as a product of irreducible polynomials. Now, because our definition of factorization talks about writing a polynomial as a product of lower-degree terms, this does introduce the following special case. What if a polynomial has a constant factor? So suppose I begin with this product 4x plus 8 times 2x minus 3. This is a factorization. It's a product of two first-degree polynomials, neither of which can be written as a polynomial of lower degree. But we can do a little bit more work here. For example, this 4x plus 8, we can actually factor a 4 out of that first term, and because multiplication is associative and commutative, I can move that 4 and migrate it into the second term by using the distributive property. Since I've maintained equality throughout, I can say that 4x plus 8 times 2x minus 3 is the same thing as x plus 2 and 8x minus 12. And this means that 4x plus 8 times 2x minus 3 and x plus 2 times 8x minus 12 are different factorizations of the same polynomial. To avoid this, it's useful to remember if you can remove a constant factor, do so. So the proper final factorization of this polynomial would be this line, where the common factor has been removed, where possible. So let's try to factor something like this. Our ability to factor completely relies on two important ideas. First, there's the factor theorem. If x equals a is a root of a polynomial, in other words, it's something that's going to make the polynomial equal to 0, then x minus a will be a factor. Now in general, finding the root of a polynomial is hard, but we only care about the rational roots because they lead to the rational factors. And so we can use the rational root theorem, which tells us that those rational roots will be of the form a divisor of the constant over a divisor of the leading coefficient. Now these two form the theoretical basis for our factorization process. The practical implementation of the factorization process relies on the remainder theorem. And remember that says if I want to evaluate a polynomial at x equal to a, find the remainder when you divide by x minus a. So let's try and factor this mess. The first thing to remember is that if you can remove a constant factor, do so. It'll make your life much easier. So here we see that every term has a factor of 4, so we can remove a factor of 4. So now we'll use our rational root theorem. The rational root theorem tells us that a rational root, if it exists, must be among a rather long list of possibilities. And unfortunately, there's nothing we can do but to try every single possibility until we find a root. So again, we'll use synthetic division and find the remainder when we divide by x minus a potential root. So we'll set up our synthetic division table and list the roots that we're going to test. And we'll try them out from easiest to hardest. So we'll try out plus 1. And again, what we really care about is the remainder because that'll tell us the value of the polynomial when x equals 1. So using our synthetic division algorithm, at this point there is a useful shortcut. Since we're looking for a root, we want the remainder to be 0. If the remainder isn't 0, we don't care what it actually is. And here the remainder is not 0. So positive 1 is not a root. Well, as the saying goes, if at first you don't succeed, give up and quit. Oh wait, no one says that. We'll keep trying. The next thing we could try is negative 1. So we'll clear out our table and find the remainder when we divide by x minus negative 1. And again, since the remainder is not 0, we don't actually care what it is. We know that negative 1 is not a root. So we can try 2. So we'll check by applying our synthetic division algorithm and finding the remainder. So plus 2 is not a root. We'll check negative 2. And use our synthetic division to find the remainder when we're dividing by x minus negative 2. Still not a root, so we'll try x equals 3. And since our remainder is 0, that means x equals 3 is a root. And because we've actually done the division, we can read this as a factorization. Our original dividend will be x minus 3 times something. So if it's not written down, it didn't happen. Let's record that factorization. Equals means replaceable. So where we had this original dividend, we can replace it with the factored form. And now we have a quadratic polynomial. We could factor this using the quadratic formula to find the roots, but just for practice, let's use our rational root theorem again. The rational root theorem tells us that a rational root, if it exists, must be among. And again, we have a very long list of possibilities. However, here's a useful idea. Remember, arithmetic is bookkeeping and we've already determined that some of these are non-roots. We've already checked plus or minus 1 and plus or minus 2. So we don't need to check whether these are roots. We already know they aren't. So the first root we'll bother to check is 4. Since the remainder is 0, 4 is a root, and our synthetic division table tells us that the original dividend is x minus 4 times something. Which gives us the factorization. And again, if it's not written down, it didn't happen. And since all of our factors are first degree polynomials, we can't write any of them in terms of lower degree polynomials, and our factorization is complete.


So to me, what we want to do is we want to see that adjustment hasn't worked either. That all the things we've done in our life to adjust and to make it better, none of them have worked. And he's talking about the two, he's talked earlier about the two emotions, and I think if we pick it up, maybe that's a third paragraph, the one emotion in which substitution is impossible is love. Fear involves substitution by definition, for it is love's replacement. Fear is both a fragmented and fragmenting emotion. It seems to take many forms, and each one seems to require a different form of acting out for satisfaction. While this appears to introduce quite variable behavior, a far more serious effect lies in the fragmented perception from which the behavior stems. No one is seen complete. The body is emphasized with special emphasis on certain parts, and used as the standard for comparison of acceptance or rejection for acting out a special form of fear. That even starts to rain a little bit, last night after our video again, and we were talking about how if the body is either attractive or is repulsive based on physical characteristics, the body is emphasized, and you could apply that to many, many different things. I would say probably the common thing is dating, relationships, this whole thing of Bachelorette number one, which you describe yourself. It has to do with a lot with the physical, and all this stuff about even dating, well they make such a good couple, they're both attractive, or they're both unattractive, and they match up well. There's always an emphasis on the body and on the physical, and it just goes into things really deeply with that one. So now here's where he's going to begin describing the original problem of the fall. He says, you who believe that God is fear made but one substitution, it has taken many forms because it was the substitution of illusion for truth, of fragmentation for wholeness. It has become so splintered and subdivided and divided again over and over that it is now almost impossible to perceive that once was one and still is what it was. That one error which brought truth to illusion, infinity to time, and life to death was all you ever made. Your whole world rests upon it. Everything you see reflects it, and every special relationship that you have ever made is part of it. You may be surprised to hear how very different is reality from what you see. You do not realize the magnitude of that one error. It was so vast and so completely incredible that from it a world of total unreality had to emerge. What else could come of it? Its fragmented aspects are fearful enough as you begin to look at them, but nothing you have seen begins to show you the enormity of the original error which seemed to cast you out of heaven, to shatter knowledge into meaningless bits, disunited perceptions, and to force you to make further substitutions. That was the first projection of error outward. The world arose to hide it and became the screen on which it was projected and drawn between you and the truth. So there is the screen that we talk about all the time. The problem is not on the screen, and the screen arose because the guilt was hurled out onto the screen. So the screen is like supposed to take all this guilt and is supposed to then seem like it's the cause or it's the source of all the problems, and the screen is not the problem. The screen was made to hide the ego, so everything we talked about is going to be coming back to tracing it back so we can get back to the ego and unveil it. For truth extends inward where the idea of loss is meaningless and only increase is conceivable. Do you really think it's strange that a world in which everything is backwards and upside down arose from this projection of error? For truth brought to this could only remain within and quiet, and take no part in all the mad projection by which this world was made. Call it not sin, but madness, for such it was and so it still remains. Invested not with guilt, for guilt implies it was accomplished in reality. And above all, be not afraid of it. When you seem to see some twisted form of the original error arising to frighten you, say only, God is not fear but love, and it will disappear. The truth will save you. It has not left you to go out into the mad world and so depart from you. Inward is sanity. Insanity is outside you. But believe it is the other way around that truth is outside and error and guilt within.  They fuse and merge and separate and shifting in totally meaningless patterns that need not be judged at all. To judge them individually is pointless. Their tiny differences in form are no real differences at all. None of them matters. That they have in common and nothing else. And then the next conjunction, the next paragraph, is let them all go, dancing in the wind, dipping and turning until they disappear from sight, far, far outside you. And turn you to the stately calm within, where in holy stillness dwells the living God, you never left and who never left you. Now this is another way of looking at all these images that we've been talking about like these little, like feathers, that if you can just, if you step back and you see the world as a swirl of feathers or a swirl of images, I mean that's the mystic state in a sense, that's the real detachment, but it's like going, Mary and I came across all these ants the other day, a bunch of ants just going like this on the sidewalk. And if you step back, they're kind of like the swirling feathers, they're just weaving and weaving and weaving and weaving. You don't try to pick out, you know, who are the leading ants and who are the hard workers and who are the dominant ants and who are the submissive ants and I mean, this is what this world is, is analyzing, breaking it apart. It's just a swirl and you can really stand up straight and look and see the swirl. But it's from getting down, down there, so to speak, at the level of the world and breaking it apart and not seeing it as the swirl of feathers, but seeing it as these are real people around me, this is real murder that's going on, this is real crime, this is real sickness, this is real pleasure, this is real good stuff, you know, all the good things in life, you know, it's that breaking it apart and making it more than the swirl that's investing it with guilt because you can't see that it's just a swirl and they're all equally just a bunch of feathers. Some of these feathers seem to be important and other of these feathers, you know, this feather seems to spend lots of those green paper strips on this feather, not on this, 49 cents or something on this feather, you know, they just don't seem to be the same. It seems like you spend a lot more time with some feathers than you do with other feathers. Yes. Today when I was sitting out on the porch and even when I was walking around the neighborhood and seeing cars come and go and people go in their houses and come out and, you know, it was like I had that same feeling of like well pull it way back like you're in an airplane watching us, you know, it's like, like the ants, it was like when you look at the ants it seems like they have very purposeful movement. I was watching ants the other day too and it was like wow they really act like they know exactly what they're doing and exactly where they're going and why they're doing it and, you know, it's not like they're not purposeful, they're not analyzing. They don't take a few steps and stop and take a few more and stop. I mean they just go. You know, and I was thinking well, you know, it looks like these people all moving around seem to have like this purposeful movement. They get in their car and they go and they drive and they go here and they go there and do this and do that and I'm thinking this is no different. It's like just pulling it way back and thinking oh there's, you know, I'm looking at these people thinking oh there's all these separate people living in their separate houses, living their separate lives with their separate families and their separate jobs and their separate problems and it's like no, no, pull it way back, you know. You know, as you were talking, I like to sort of draw, so I've got my original God just being one and then all of a sudden just one line which is the split, you know, and then another line and just lines and then pretty soon boxes and then pretty soon little boxes and pretty soon little circles and it's like we're getting farther and farther away from God and so now we need to find some substitutions. Now what do we have here? We have this mess that we created, so we have to find some substitutions for God so far away. And look what we've done, how guilty and then there's fear, so well let's find something pleasurable so we can stand this insanity. So we build in all these other fun things and things to spend money on, hot air balloons, watching the Grand Canyon from hot air balloons, you know, fun things and then whiskey and wine and parties and, you know, wonderful careers and let's keep now, wait a minute, now this isn't so bad, let's keep hiding from truth because, especially now because we're not even worthy of getting back to God. Now, so now God becomes fear punishing, judgmental, I'm guilty, I'm fearful, which makes us feel like we're fearful punishable and judged or we can project out fear punishment or judgment on other people. So it's like this big old mess, but here's Holy Spirit just quietly along the side taking the arrow back to God saying, forget all that. You can actually even deny all that, use that defense mechanism of denial and just come back to God because I'm here because it's such a mess, you can never understand it, you don't know what this is all about. The only thing, you know, let me know for you is when I'm seeing it as, after that I don't know. Yeah, even the denial, it's important to be real specific about that because the world's, the ego's use of denial would be to not deny the screen. In other words, here we are talking about this as a feather, you know, just like a feather like this is a feather, but Jesus says you're so invested in the body that the denial of the body is inappropriate use of denial. He says there isn't appropriate use of denial and that's to deny the belief that error can hurt you.   I'm not, or getting into a discussion with somebody, I'm not here, you're not here, we're not having this conversation. You know, that's sometimes, that would be a good example of a defense. Trying to deny the projection when Jesus is saying deny the belief that error can hurt you, which is what we were getting into last night, even though some situations may initially be perceived as threatening, you can bring, quickly bring it back and choose with the Holy Spirit, choose your right mind, choose a miracle and deny the belief that error can hurt you. That's an important one. The miracle or the right mind just sees the false as false. It doesn't arrange the images. It doesn't try to distinguish between the images. It sees the whole tree, trunk, branches, false. No distinction between it. And that's where the release comes in. It doesn't break it apart. It doesn't break apart the ego. It sees that illusions are one as well. Mind is one. If mind is one and illusions are one, then wrong mind is one. It's not, it's not fragmented. All these constructions of private minds, of time and space, all that is just the wrong mind. And the only thing that can see that is the right mind. The right mind. Nothing but that. Anything that would try to figure it out, kind of from within the wrong mind, would have to just be the wrong

I saw some of those pictures with a lot of that snow you got. That was a big storm, but you know what's interesting about it? It was very, once it's cleared up, because it's so cold, we don't have it melting and having ice all over. It's the ice I worry about, aren't it? Oh, yeah. So, was it that soft snow? You can move like real easy? It was, but it was a lot. Okay, cool. It was at least 14 inches. Yeah. That's a lot, man. That's a lot. For us, it is. I mean, we're not talking Denver. Yeah, we're talking Boston. No. So, 14 inches is a lot. It's talking March 5th, too. I guess. Okay, so I'm looking at the Dow industrials here. So when we spoke last time, last week, Thursday, I said that I believe we're now going to go into a very choppy phase, and that there's a particular, and I spent some time in my noon hour show to discuss this very narrow up channel that can go for quite a while. What happens when it breaks down the uptrend support level and breaks down below it? And you can see I've got this pink line, and what I've done for subscribers, I drawn this. In fact, I was doing it on the show for quite a while, almost every day for the past week and a little bit. I've been showing a pattern that I said, if I'm correct, this is what we should do. The way you get out of this very long channel is to have a move down a rally higher so you can see this little dash line I drew in, then I drew another dash line that went just above the previous high. It was the recovery high of $26,241 on the 25th of February for the Dow, and then a sharper decline that says you should go below the trough that was made on the left side. Then have another rally, and then the next decline is the one that really starts to break away from that up channel to make that support. Now resistance line number one, and number two is it's as big, but I always think of how a dog gets, when it's at the water's edge, it gets all wet, and then it comes away and then it shakes itself and everybody gets soaked, and the dog is just standing still, doesn't move, and then it just kind of casually walks away and everybody's soaked. But this is this kind of thing, and what happened yesterday for subscribers, whenever we get to a certain point, we usually start to put on short positions, and in this case we had a short position, and yesterday the Dow dropped over 400 points, actually it was over 500 points from the high to the low yesterday, but then it rebounded, but that rebound created a candle that I've spoken about over the years. It's something that I discovered years ago, I called it the Chapman Wave Roman candle, and it has a tiny little wick, it has a long leg down, it's a very red candle and it occurs always right near the highs, and you can see that we've had that, this is the candle that we saw back in February of last year, I'm showing it on the right side with a monthly chart, but what happens is if the price, very quickly after that within, this is a daily chart, so within two days if there is a break to the downside, if it holds for a shorter period of time, so we're talking about a daily chart, my impression was that if it could hold for over two hours, underneath right here, 20, 25, 7, 10, that would indicate a really quick slide to the low of 25,611, well this morning we ran down and we stopped right at 20, there it is, 25, 7, 25, so we managed to recover, we got a little doji candle here, but my impression is that we've started that big shaking out of the very long-term up channel, and that is, says now expect a lot more volatility even though today's a very quiet and passive day, I'm expecting quite a lot of volatility in terms of highs and lows, but I'm also expecting there's a really good chance that we start to get lower highs and lower lows, at least for the shorter term, meaning a couple of weeks, that's my impression, but first the next step is important, we have to close under 25,600, so for subscribers we should take some profits, we're actually raising a little cash, we still have some core positions, we still have a Bank of America which we had for quite a while, let me just make this a little narrow, you can see it's holding very nicely towards the upper end of the range, it hasn't really broken out, so it looks like it's kind of stuck in a range for now, but it's still doing okay, and then one that we've had for quite some time is MJ, which is the alternative harvest ETF for the cannabis sector, it's taken a long time to get back to the previous high of 38.36 on the 4th of February, my suspicion is just like Bank of America, we sort of stuck in a rectangle trading range here, but then we're also trying to raise positions, now I also spoke to you about the chance that maybe we're looking at wheat and some of the softer grains starting to make some kind of a lower, but look wheat, all of a sudden wheat is starting to make a little bit of a turnaround, nice candle today after the low of three days ago, corn is the next one I'm looking at, also not a bad candle, so I'm just thinking that there's a chance in this particular phase where we start to see money flow into some of the other areas, this is a very good time, it's been spectacular profits on a percentage basis on many of the stocks that made lows back in December 24th and 26th, and I think money might come out of that and look for a new home, so I'm thinking that there's some areas that might be favored right now and then in the next future four sessions I think we'll get a good clue on that, so I'm kind of cautious right here, the big picture still says all-time highs in 2019, but at the same time I think this is an important hiatus, I hope it is because there's some stocks that kind of got away from us and I'd really like to get into them and so we've got to do some buying on any sharp declines, yeah so I mean I know you like using that nine period, I mean it's the first time of the nine period we got on the opposite side of it since January 3rd, yeah it's quite incredible and most importantly I also just wanted to mention to you, you know the dollar is still acting quite well considering, so it's in the range, yeah it's putting up a fight, there's no doubt about that man, it is putting up a fight, but I've got a feeling we're talking about two separate things, I think the dollar is one aspect, I think gold is another and I think yields, I've been talking about yields with subscribers for at least a couple of weeks now, if you look at the TNX, I know that you're thinking that the TNX, that the TLT should rally and yields should come down, but I'm kind of impressed that they've held at this higher level for now, so I'm watching them very closely because the Fed would like to have some inflation if the yields can do it for them without them officially announcing that the raising rates, I think that'll suit them well and so this is a very interesting time because I'm looking at it as if there are three or four different actions that are taking place, one is the dollar, one is the gold, one is yields, and then the other is wood stocks have really ready, strongly need a break, wood stocks should come on to take their place in the next couple of weeks.

While each lake, band members have approved a referendum for a new palace, casino and hotel in Cass Lake. The vote took place on May 16th, and about 78 percent of the voters were in favor of the replacement project. The new palace casino will be located along the Highway 2 frontage road in Cass Lake. Once finished, tribal officials say the new casino is expected to bring in 100 to 200 new jobs. Work on the new structures expected to begin in early 2018 and be completed in 2019. In March, the Leech Lake Tribal Council voted to turn over the decision-making power on the proposal to the tribal citizenship. A similar measure was passed in 2000, which led to the construction of the Northern Lights Casino near Walker, Minnesota.
