Hi, Longmont. My name is Karen Stallard. I'm the membership director with the Longmont Area Chamber of Commerce. The Longmont Chamber has been working hard to support our local businesses and connect the community during this challenging time because we don't think that being physically distanced means that we can't still socially connect and support one another. So I'd like to tag in Jessica Wanasek, the Chamber Event Director, to tell you a little bit about what we've been up to. Hey, everyone. So the Longmont Chamber of Commerce has been hosting daily Facebook Live events Monday through Friday at 4 p.m. over on our Chamber Facebook page. We are featuring a local business or a nonprofit while having fun interactive activities, giveaways, and just connecting with our community. We wanted to share the fun with you after the facts, so we are airing all of our episodes from last week with you here now so you can enjoy. And we hope that you see some familiar faces from around Longmont. And remember, if you ever want to see the live thing, just tune into the Chamber Facebook page at 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Or check out a themed list of businesses over on our Chamber website, www.longmontchamber.org, forward slash llama is open. And find a business that you would like to support. Enjoy the show. Hi, everybody. And welcome, welcome, welcome. Come on in. We're just going to give it a second or two and let our audience build. Come in and get a comfy seat for today's episode of Days of Our Lives. I mean another episode of We Shop Wednesdays. That's right. We are back for our second week of our Longmont is open for business, kind of our live events that we're doing every day. So we're well into our second week, which is is so fun. And we're hoping that you guys are enjoying watching our content as well. So we're going to let a few people come on in. I'm starting to see a few little faces popping in there. So as you come in, comment, say hello, let us know that you are here. It's hard for us to know that you guys are here unless you're liking or commenting or saying hi, asking questions, all that good stuff. So as you come in, comment, let us know you're here. Give us some love, some the likes and hearts and all that. We love to see that. Let's see. What to tell you? What to tell you? So like I said, we're well into our second week. My name is Jessica Wanasek. I am the event director over at the Longmont Chamber of Commerce. We are, this is our second. We shop Wednesday. It's our live events that we are doing at 4 p.m. every day for as long as they're needed. So we are enjoying this. We love doing this. We're having a good time highlighting all of those businesses out there who have had to pivot and change the way that they are running their operations during this crazy time. So we are super honored to be able to be doing this and highlighting those hardworking businesses out there in Longmont and giving you the audience a little glimpse into what it is that they're doing for you. So we're happy that you're here. So we're starting to see a few likes and comments. You guys say hi. I don't see anybody out there. I see faces. I see little eyeballs, but no comments. Hi, Nikki. Good to see you. Glad you're here. Okay, so one lucky winner is going to be picked from today's comments. There's going to be a little bit of a quiz towards the end of the live stream. So you're going to want to stick around for that. I have a very exciting special guest to introduce to you today and she is actually going to be helping with a really cool prize that she's given away today. So hi, Karen. Yes, it's pink. We wear pink on Wednesdays. Come on. All right. So with that, I would like to introduce our special guest today. I'd like to introduce you to her name is Rachel Hunter and she is with a florae in Longmont. So say hi, Rachel. Hello there. Hello there. Thank you. Welcome. Oh, I love it. Love it. Super excited to have you on today. Love it. Love it. We're so happy to be here. Thank you so much for the opportunity. We are completely honored to have you on here. So I like to kind of let the audience know a little bit about you. Some people may know you and where you're located and all that, but Cher, how long have you guys been open for business? We have been a wedding florist in Longmont, actually 10 years now. July 1st will be 10, excuse me, September of this year will be 10 years. But we moved into this space, which is at 931 Main Street. It is right next door to Dutch Brothers Coffee, which you can't miss that. You also can't miss the flower mural on the side of our building to find us. But we've been here for four years and have within the last year and a half redone this the retail aspect of the store. So I'm super excited about where the store is at. And today, actually oddly, perfectly, actually, we are unloading a ton of boxes of all brand new products to get into the store for spring apparel, as well as different home decor. Super cool. Super cool. Okay, so where can you give your address again? It's 9th and Main? It's between 9th and 10th on the west side of the street. But the address is 931 Main Street. Okay, cool. Cool, cool, cool. Thanks for sharing that. So I like to ask businesses, you know, we're doing this for you guys to help show the audience how you guys are running your operations during this time.  So can you share with the audience what that looks like for you now? Absolutely. We are now back to fully being open to actually come in. Prior to this, we did curbside drop off deliveries with masks and gloves, which we will continue to be masks doing deliveries, but you are now fully welcome into the space. We of course will abide by the mandatory masks starting May 9th, as well, with us having them and required to come in. But you definitely are welcome to come in, have read on the bathroom, try on the clothes, we wanted to be a really great experience for you coming in. But as far as how it's been for us, we did close for part of April, and then reopened May 1st and we're back to full production. The only thing I'm a little bit behind on is getting the store to be online, which is exciting. That will present a lot of opportunity to even outside the state to order. But that's really the only thing left to do. But other than that, we've got all the new products in to restock and we are a full service flower shop. So you can walk in and grab flowers. We can quickly arrange them for you. We will oftentimes have pre-made grab and go flowers as well. And then we of course deliver. We deliver to Firestone, Erie, North parts of Boulder, Gun barrel and Longmont. We eventually will probably extend to Lafayette, but not yet. But yeah, I want to mention one thing about our retail flowers, because it's really important to me. And it also is not only mainly because it's important, but I think it sets us apart as well from other areas that you can buy flowers, which of course we would hope you support everywhere. But the nice thing about us is all retail flowers will, once the farms are fully ready, they are going to be entirely arranged with local flower farms surrounding Longmont. So the difference is most flowers that you get in grocery stores or bigger flower shops are coming from markets, which flower markets, which means they're coming in from California, Hawaii all over, which is really great because you can get flowers, you can't get in the state. However, we have the opportunity to have a lot at our fingertips because there happens to be nine flower farms that surround my flower shop within a 50 mile radius. So moving forward, we're going to treat market flowers for weddings when we need specific flowers, but for retail flowers, we will definitely be buying from specifically and strictly the flower farms. We want to be able to support them and not only that, the quality is like amazing. You're getting top-notch quality because they're literally cutting it when I show up, putting it in a bucket and coming back to it. So there's no shipping costs or shipping wear and tear on the flowers, which is going to of course make them last longer. Oh, super cool. Yeah, I'm kind of a flower now. I love to have any excuse to have, you know, cut flowers on my counter. So you have won me over, so I'm on my way. Well, it's really been beautiful that they have considered any floral culture to be essential, because honestly, if it's just as important to get outside in nature and feel the sun and give us the trees, it's equally as important to actually bring that into your home. So we're happy that we have that field in the industry to provide that for you. Absolutely. Well, we love it. And that's another reason why I'm super excited to be able to kind of showcase you guys today. So thank you. Cool. Well, I can't believe that we are into May and May, you know, we know the little bit, May comes flowers, but there's also Mother's Day. So we, we initially, we wanted to do some sort of like a floral arrangement for Mother's Day. But we kind of shifted gears a little bit because I heard from a good source that you have some really cool items in the front part of your store. So in a minute, I want you to take us on a little tour and show us some of your goodies there. But we are getting a few questions in the comments regarding flowers for Mother's Day. So Nikki is asking, are you still taking orders for Mother's Day? Yes. And we will be as best as we can taking them all the way up until Sunday. I actually purchased all the, I'm getting all the flowers tomorrow and most likely we'll potentially have to go back again on Friday. But we are, because we are not fully online yet in the future, you will definitely be able to go online and just simply type in the order. But for now, the three ways to go about placing an order with us is either one phone call, which is<PHONE_NUMBER>, or you could go to our business Instagram page, which is the app sign A underscore flora, which is S-L-O-R-A-E, excuse me. And then otherwise just the website, you'll find a contact page where you can enter in information for an order that way. Right. It's, in my opinion, best to just simply call, then we can have a discussion about what it is that you want, if there's anything particular, what we're doing a lot of, or getting a lot of order-wise is just mixed spring bouquets that are a variety of different colors. But to be able to call is kind of nice. If you have any questions for me, I can just immediately answer them for you. Perfect. Perfect. And we'll have you give the phone number again, and we'll try and get some of that information in the comments as well here before the end of the stream. So you guys hang in there for that. So let's go. I'm actually going to turn this over to you, Rachel, and you are going to take us on a little tour of your shop. Okay. And it's all yours. I'm going to actually walk outside the door and tour you as if you were walking in for the first time. Okay. So again, our neighbors are Dutch Brothers Coffee. They're really, really amazing. Or you can just find us by the big red building. Okay. So as far as plants go, we always have a wide variety of plants in here, but they are strictly indoor plants. We don't have the space to have outdoor, but we have so many fun indoor plants that you can mix and match with different pots. We're happy to pot them for you here for no charge. That's cool. We carry a ton of clothing. Our long sleeve clothing, just to let you viewers know, all the long sleeve that we currently have are 40% off through the rest of the week. And then we will be putting all the new spring items out as well. So we sell a ton of jewelry, a lot of local artisans, and then some from California. We have a small kids section here, which we're unpacking new t-shirts in the back. And then over here, you're always going to find a different ton of different selections of pots both here and then also underneath the middle table. That's my sweetheart, Bluebell. To say hi. We have some cute little bralettes. And then as far as cards go, we have a really funny selection of cards here. So I find it a lot of fun that people find our cards to be really entertaining. So our most popular item in the entire store that flies off the shelves are these candles. Two different lines, but they have amazing scents. Great fruit mint and tobacco vanilla are by far the most popular. And yeah, it's a home store clothing store and plant and flower shop. So we are a full service flower shop, but of course now have this added on retail. Oh, that's very close. So we're getting a few comments as you were showing things around. Holly Glesner says she's never been to your shop before, but it looks great. And she says also she is in love with your pottery. Thank you. And we some of the pottery comes from California. And then we also have in the works actual like Colorado artisans making some pots for us currently. Oh, that's cool. Yeah. The fun part is that you get a mix and match however you see fit. And then we have a station in the back to help pot if it's easiest for for you. Nice. And you said you can repot plants at no charge. Is that what you said? Yes, we'll do the potting for you. Oh, that's cool. And I'm going to walk you to the back really quick to show our workstation and also to introduce you to Mackenzie. She is my partner in crime basically, you know, workwifes way I like. Love it. Actually in the head of the plant aspect. So if any of you ever come in here, I have any questions myself or Mackenzie or more than happy to help. But she's I just like to admit more knowledgeable than me. Okay, so this is the area that we're getting there. It's it's we've got a lot of stuff to move around new tables and whatnot. But we have our consultations here. And then the work area back here that white wall is actually hiding the cooler. So we keep all of our flowers in there. And I wanted to make mention sometimes when you come in here, you might not see the cut flowers or the local flowers to just come and pick. That's just because they're in the cooler because we only have so much space. And the longer they're in the cooler, the longer life you're going to get after you. Yeah. Oh, good to know. Don't hesitate to ask when you come in here, if you're wanting flowers and you're not seeing them, they're going to be in the back. Okay, good to know. So there we go. This is Mackenzie. Hi, Mackenzie. Okay, we've got a ton of actual related items that we are restocking specifically for Sunday or any day leading up to it, which have to do with woman inspired woman supporting type of messages, if you will, to the to the t-shirts.  We have pretty powerful both in kids and in adult or things like that same mama bird. Some of my favorite exciting things to come in are the toddler baby. I don't know for clothing, these are all just different head wraps. And then these are, for example, like bloomers. I don't have children, but these clothes make me want to adopt one. So we will add a number to a floor because of the clothing. This shirt has already sold before we've even put it out because I made a post about it, but it's amazing. Oh my God, I love it. We all agree with that, right? And then new jewelry. These are fun tassels that are like can be window decor or they're actually meant for super fun baskets. We're going to be hanging some of these in our windows. And we also have a lot of different baskets that can be used at farmers markets. Obviously, if you ever go to the beach ever again, you can take it there. And this product line I am absolutely psyched on because I had bought something from them just in another store once and then asked if I could get an account with them. They're out of Oaxaca, Mexico. They keep women employed and these women are incredible, not one. Yes, you'll have similar patterns, but they're all cut from different style rugs. But the best is just simply how they feel. It's such amazing, amazing quality. And they range anywhere from big bags like this to purse sizes to then travel totes. I have a couple of these that I'm completely upset.  Is that pink? Oh, they're so, so, so great. I want that one right there. Do that. I can mention as well that the majority of our store is about $65 and under. We have some select items, whether it's bags or bigger pottery that might be above that. But as far as the average price point, we are about a store with $65 and under, which it's important to me as well because we're, especially, I mean, it was like that before the times now, but now with the times like we're not trying to break your bank, we really just want to give you a good experience with shopping and give you really good quality items in here that don't have to be crazy expensive. No, I think that's the perfect price point. That's awesome. Thank you. Good to know. I'm Sharon. There's a few other comments that came in. Melanie says, I love your aesthetic. So glad to know you're there. So that's pretty cool. Thank you. I appreciate that. And Karen, my partner in crime, Karen over at the chamber, she says, for years, your ribbon cutting was just yesterday, she says. And this place is very much different looking than that ribbon cutting. But we do a while because it can be interesting with retail. You really want to be able to please a lot and cater to a lot. But when you only have so much room, it took a lot of like back and forth, flipping around, but we've gotten it to a really, really great spot in my opinion. And we actually helped with We dropped out too. And people are more than welcome to take pictures and send pictures via Instagram or email of their plants. If they have any questions about that, is this a good place? Is it getting enough light? We're super, we treat everybody like they're our best friends. So please take advantage of reaching out to us. We're more than happy to help. Oh, that's super cool.  I'm actually kind of floored of all of the really cool products and stuff that are out there and perfect timing for, you know, Mother's Day coming up this weekend too, which is Thank you. sneaking up on us. It's great. And I'm actually either a hot item as well. It's a bunch of different prints that are in this kind of color palette. But these have been super, super exciting new addition that people are loving as well. So we do have some selection of wall art. Wow. You're like a Rachel of all trades over there. Pretty cool. Pretty cool. Well, for those of you guys who are coming on, hopefully you get to see the little tour that Rachel just did for us. If you're here, say something to us in the comments. If you have a question for Rachel, throw that in the comments as well. We're going to be here for just a few more minutes, but we wanted to, you know, offer that opportunity. If you have a question for her, fire away. We'll relay that on to her. Let's see, Rachel here in a few minutes, I guess, or a few seconds. We I'm going to have you help me with today's daily giveaway or our drawing. So I'm thinking of a question to give the audience that are that are checking this out today, something that we just spoke about maybe right when you started your little tour. And you and I know the answer to it, but we're going to we're going to throw it out to the audience and see if they know it as well. So I see you people out there on comment. Say hi. Let Rachel know that you're here. Okay. So the question that I am thinking of is Rachel shared with us, the audience, as we as she was starting her tour, she offers a service for free. It's a no charge service. And it has to do with something green. Right? Does I don't want to give it away if I say it, it's going to be give it away. So something green and she does something to that something green for no charge. How's that? So the first one to put the answer in the comments will get a super cool prize. And Rachel, do you want to share what that prize is today? Yeah, it's a $50 gift card to spend however you wish in the store. And the like I said, we you could be if you came in this weekend or the following week, you'd be one of the first to see all the new items, both in spring clothes and children's items, accessories, things of that nature, then then people have seen yet. So you can have first steps if you wanted. Super cool. Okay. So we had we had somebody come in with the correct answer. I feel like we need like a drum roll machine, but it looks like there you go. Melanie. And I know I'm going to butcher your last name Melanie is a heckleman Piazza, which potting plants was the correct answer, right, Rachel? Yes, it is. Yay. And we had Holly came in a really quick second. So you guys were like neck and neck there. So next time Holly, join us and maybe you can win something too. So Melanie, I need you to email me so that we can get you that gift card. So email me at Jay Wanasek at longmontchamber.org. And we'll get that gift certificate over to you. And thank you for playing. That was awesome. So anything else, Rachel, that you feel that the audience needs to know about you about your services that we haven't covered yet? Well, I do want to mention the store hours. So oftentimes you'll find flower shops closed on Mondays and that's the same with us, but we are also closed Tuesdays. So our days of operation that are open are Wednesday to Sunday closed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, we are 10 to 530 Saturday, Sundays, we are 11 to 3. Awesome. And give me, let's do your phone number again just so I can put it in the comments here. Okay,<PHONE_NUMBER>. Okay, that way everybody can, I'll have it in the comments there. They can buzz you if they need to order flowers and all that. I just want to make sure that we're not missing anybody's last minute questions. Sometimes they sneak in right at the end here. Well, anyway, with that, Rachel, I want to thank you for taking time out.   I've really enjoyed getting to know you and I hope that the Longmont audience out there who is watching got to know you a little bit and will come check out your store now or place an order for flowers and all that stuff. So I really want to thank you for taking the time out.  The website is AFLORE and it's spelled A-F-L-O-R-A-E dot com or give her a call<PHONE_NUMBER>. With that, Rachel, I am going to give you big loves and kisses. Thank you so much for being on today. My pleasure. Thank you for having me. And we will talk to you soon. Awesome. Thank you so much. Why? Thank you. She was super cool. I have enjoyed getting to know her and I love actually doing this part of my job because I am a people person and I am missing this one-on-one connection or the connection with just people. So I'm really appreciative of all the businesses who are taking part in what we are doing with these live events. If you have a business and you want to be featured on one of these, reach out to me at jwanasek at longmontchamber.org and we will see about getting you scheduled for one of these live events.

Tomorrow we have a really exciting Thankful Thursday episode and you're going to want to come back here right back here on the Chamber Facebook page at 4 p.m. We're going to highlight a very special local non-profit who's doing some amazing things around town and they're also giving away another really cool prize. So thanks again for tuning in. We love you guys. Hang out, hang in there Longmonsters and we will see you soon. Bye bye. Be well.


Good day, folks. Hello, Tyler. Morning. Welcome, fellow co-chair. Congratulations. Thank you. Let's see. I'm going to paste the. Meeting notes. Let's see what we have. July 11th. And it was about a month ago for the last one. With holidays and other things going on. So. Folks could drop your names into. The meeting notes and any agenda items you have. Give it a couple of minutes and. For anyone else to join. Yeah. All right. Let's get started. Okay. So I guess I can share my screen actually. Okay. So we're able to complete. Elections finally. And thanks for. Putting yourselves forward and. Going through the process. Final results. So for the service provider. Representative Tom. Good one. From Vodafone. Tom. Congratulations. Thank you. Good afternoon. I'm the Vodafone. Vodafone. The Vodafone. So this is representing. Vendors. And. That were equipment providers and. Anyone creating CNS. Victor. From Samsung. And then the. C. N. C. F. Kubernetes community. Go chair. Taylor. Carpenter. That's me. So our term. I would have started earlier in the year, We've adjusted the terms to 1st of July through June 30, 2023. So it's a one-year term. Next year we'll try to get it going early enough so that we can end at those times. All right. So a few events. Folks are probably aware of most of these. Cube con and a in October. Currently planning on going to that myself. We'll see how things are going as far as. COVID spikes and all of that for in person events, but. If it's looking good, then. I plan on being there. Anyone else. On the call plan on being. Cube con. In person. Probably I will go. I'm not sure. I'm not quite as potentially not sure yet. Yeah. I'm unlikely to be there personally. It's difficult to plan these sort of things right now. Right. Well, we do have. The co-located cognitive. Telco day. Even. Planned. The CFPs are open. Need to try to get folks to submit on that. Hopefully have another successful. Event. We'll provide both remote and in person. Another thing that needs to happen is sponsorship. So if anyone. Your company's interested or. Whatever you want to help. And. The ONES. There's, I guess it's still open right now through the 29th for. Submissions. And there are some panels. I don't know. Who all is. Been looking at the different things there. But there's a. A panel that may be talking on for. Regarding. These CNCF. Telco initiatives. Including the working group, I'd say, but primarily around the CNF certification. And Annika. I know that's one of them. I don't know if there's any other. Interesting panels or talks that are planned. That would be something of note that we want to write down here. I think that's a better insight. Sorry. You're referring to the, are you referring to the specific. The specific. Conformance CNF conformance. That, that panel would be one of them, but is there anything else? Like. I wish. I mean, I know we could maybe post a link to the. The whole list, but yeah, sure. Let me do that. Yeah. I think specific that we want to call out. That one was one that I was thinking of, but anything else. Yeah, I've actually myself taking some, you know, I'll be having some conversations as we can, you know, internally here in my company, just to figure out whether or not we're attending. So I haven't been on top of this too much either until just recently, there's some things that caught my attention, but let me find the link and I'll share that on the chat here. Okay. Sounds good and drop it in the meeting notes as well. All right. So does anyone have anything else? I don't see anything written out on the agenda. Well, I wouldn't mind adding something to the agenda. Taylor. Or maybe just bring it up for discussion here. I with, with the new newly elected. I'm wondering if, you know, and again, I don't want to preempt anything. You guys are already planning. So I mean, one of the things that would be interesting is just kind of, you know, a year's ended in terms of, you know, the chair and co-chairs, what are our thinking going forward and changes that we want to propose and ways of working goals, et cetera. So just curious that may not be something we do today, but maybe just curious to hear from you and Victor and Tom. If we're proceeding as how we have been doing things, or if we have any suggestions for how it might change our way of working. Good question. I think the CNS education program's got to be the main focus. It seems to be a flagship thing. I agree with. Remember who it was that said it on the, on the mailing list about making sure that we retain and strengthen the relationships with things like that. Yeah. Yeah. Appreciate that Tom. I would also, I agree. I think, you know, certainly seeing the CNCS, CNF conformance program is certainly focused. I have some, you know, questions, I guess, still on ways of working around, you know, in the past, we have submitted, you know, we kind of open up to user stories and use cases. And I'm guilty as charged, but I, you know, I have submitted use cases and use stories. And really not figured out how to take it from there to the next step, which is really, you know, a discussion around best practices. And I mean, I obviously know I could go away and I could write some best practices and air them with this group. But I don't know if there's a better way to do it where you're more engaged, you know, several people are engaged in developing those together rather than just kind of. Coming and presenting it and hoping someone likes it, gives us a thumbs up. So again, I don't expect anyone to answer those today. Just give some food for thought, maybe. Yeah. You mentioned a good value point. I guess one of the. Things that we explore. All this last year. Was using of discussions, I guess. Using that. We get more feedback compared with the feedback that we receive and the submitting use cases and best practices. So I don't know if. Following or like. Encouraging to use more. Something more informal or something more light. In that way. Could be. Could increase the collaboration or something like, I don't know, like. Definitely we have to do. To encourage others to participate and. Make easier the. The collaboration. One of the. Thanks. That's been suggested as. Around. I guess the process for getting things. Through. Pull requests. Quicker. And. We may have had some of the items. Where it takes. You know, more people than are actually. Working. Or willing to put in the time right now. And. If we can make some adjustments on that. Could help too. But. Perse. I guess like. Kind of related that. And what I'd like to say is. Pretty. Straight forward. More. More best practices. More. More best practices actually published. Robbie had put a. Skeleton of. A document that would list them. So how do we. How do we actually get a lot of the. Content. That we already have written. It's not. Coming right brand new. Content that's already there. Like around. The least. Privilege principles. There's a large amount of content that we actually have in a. A document. Tied in with working group. I mean, it was directly related. So. I don't. Know if it means something in related to getting the content into the format that we already have. Or if. That is maybe. There's a problem with. The process and, and the. Requirements. To actually get it to a point where we're willing to publish something. On the. Use cases. And user stories. We're able to put a lot more of those forward. Probably because the requirements on. The amount of information about them. Was lower. And our best practice. Template is. Pretty large. Not to say that those things aren't important, but like. If we want to. Move things forward, then we may need to reexamine. Anyways, but I would like to get the best practice. More best practices actually put out. And probably. From a. A working group standpoint. And maybe this can be with co-chairs. Looking at. The CNF certification. And what's there. And what. That relates back to stuff we've already been talking about. We already have content and try to get best practices out of that. Actually published. So people are asking about these things. So, I guess. My help. It's not already being done. Is. Almost have a mission. Statement for working group. So. We show the best practices are useful for people who are. Another thing. CNFs that will get certified by the. Certification program or. Developers who are. Looking to learn. Stuff. The exam. Some of us have been. Trying to. The structure around. The content we're producing. I don't mean document structuring. Like. Why we're doing it structure. And. So. It's not just. Let's practice for the sake of it. I think I would help. Or is it. What was the last thing.  Was a little fuzzy for me. I was just wondering if that. Kind of. Rational for what we're doing. The. The content. The content. I don't mean document structuring. Why we're doing it structure. So it's not just. Let's practice for the sake of it. I think I would help. Or is it would exist. And what was the last thing.  Was a little fuzzy for me. I think it's. Rational for what we're doing. The mission statement or whatever you want to call it. Does that really exist. So. Yeah. Yeah, super clear. Re-examining the mission statement. Yeah. Something. I'm happy to do. Take a look at that. So. I need to get back into the detail of all of this. Yeah. I mean a lot of this is. We've kind of been going down the. The same general path. And it's continued to. Get a little bit, a little bit more specific. I'm trying to look. Oh, I'm in governance. That's why I'm having a hard time. Whereas. Is there a mission statement. Charter. Here we go. Like this. Yeah. In the scope sections, maybe one thing. You're doing the. What. How will they help. But. Where is. Is there a mission statement. Charter. Here we go. I guess. Yeah. I think that in the scope sections, maybe one. Think you're rather than a mission state. Yeah. How, how are we going to achieve that mission? Or rather. How will they help that? Yeah. Something. Okay. I love it. Because I think, I think the, the link with the CNF. It's quite clear. I think the link with other. SIGs. And. Times over the corner. Is less clear. Or how we could achieve that. I think any of this is good stuff for trying to do with the mission is and tied in what, what we've talked about. And it relates to the CNF certification. The bigger question is. What are people going to be willing to help with. And how do we motivate for the specific areas. Yeah. What, you know, what's more likely is that people are willing to. Talk about metrics and light papers. And they don't want to.  On this sort of thing. Anymore. Yeah. Okay. We need to switch and focus. Taylor Taylor at the risk.  And I don't know if it's just me. So again, by all means, if anyone has a different opinion, please let me know. Okay. One thing that I think still is helpful is just to, I think this page is useful, but I think it, it's also for those of us who may, you know, not be clear from, you know, how we are achieving our goals, right? Let's say, if we just for the second say that achieving our goal would be to be generating or publishing, you know, best practices. It's not always clear where the work begins. Where does the work begin? Does it work begin with a use case, a user story? What happens after that? Where does, you know, I guess I just sometimes lack the view of how do we go from start to finish? Because then that kind of makes it more obvious in terms of how, you know, what kind of effort any individual will have to make in this work. So for example, all right, use cases, there's been, you know, generated or use cases, user stories. All right, what's next? Is it, because it can feel a bit, you know, lonely for lack of a better term, you know, I write the use cases, I write the use, use the stories, I write the best practices, I bring them to the group, I ask you to review them. That's one way to do it. And I don't know if that's the optimal path or if there's something else, which says, once you've done that, then, you know, you should be raising your hand asking for people who want to work together in terms of drafting best practices or writing a white paper or whatever it might be. So I'm not sure if that's clear, but just trying to, to elaborate a little bit, you know, from someone who would like to be helping form, formulate some best practices specifically around things like state or state for CNFs or state, you know, then, then I would, it's not clear to me how I proceed. Okay, good questions, comments. I think we actually address that in the past. I don't know, but I presume that it's probably a recorded call. But the, I don't know what was documented around it. So related would be this contributing document. So what are the different, you know, different things that tie into the end goal. As far as actually saying here is step one and here's the last step. I don't know if we have a document. I feel like we may have a document or it may be written out in the meeting notes further down or if we have an archive version that actually went through what you're saying like here is the steps. I think one of the things in the other, other markdown was talking about brainstorming and ideas and what are the types of basically building for the context. So you want the ideas on that. User stories and use cases are probably a good place to go from that, that high level like here's a user story or use case name and you just say in this type of scenario now you actually need to read it out. And then you're probably going to end up with, well, do we have all the definitions around those things? And then eventually when you have the use case and user story what you can look at, well, what are the different problems that we're looking at in that if you break down the individual pieces and how can we deal with each of those. That's where the best practices would come from. I'm saying this in order because that's what you were talking about and we can definitely write it out that way. The reality is no one always starts at step one and goes forward. You may already have an idea in your part way in so you're going to go, I already know some best practices at work in this other use case. Do they, where do they apply? Rather than coming up with them from scratch, let's try to figure out some new ones because we have experience in other areas. But writing out the different, you know, steps all the way through Oliver so that people can see here's how it ties together. Sounds helpful. And then wherever someone wants to contribute, they can jump in. So we may already have a bunch of use cases and someone wants to focus on let's expand the glossary to make sure we're covering some of the terms in there or maybe takes some from the existing definitions of glossaries that are written up and merge it into a larger one. That's totally fine in my mind. What I don't want to do is force everybody to work on step one. If they have no passion about it and they have contributions that they can add at step five. That said, we need to list the steps so that everybody can jump in at wherever they think they can help. This somewhat, just this page is somewhat listing. I mean, if, you know, general improvements could be pushed to the last if you're going to number these. So we may do a gap analysis and general improvements come after your, if you're looking at, you're going to keep doing that at the end. So you say, here are these practices and they applied to these use cases. We have the definitions about how, you know, what they mean and how to use them. And then as you're moving forward to your, you know, we may do a gap analysis before it goes forward. If you're without thinking about that. Well, I guess I should say, even if you're going into thinking about it before production, you're probably thinking about what would happen in production. So it's a similar thing. You're going to implement something. You're going to put it out there. You're going to examine it and see, you know, did it work or do we need to make changes? And then we're going to go back. So what are the other practices to. Make the gaps. So just a curiosity. Taylor's. So is this, we're basically saying that if I'm looking at this contributing.md document. When it says what to contribute, you know, you can contribute a best practice. So are you, and to your point, you're saying you don't necessarily want to force everyone to start at step one, if you're somewhere else. So are you suggesting that if I, if I think I have a best practice, I can just start straight in and saying, here's, here's the best practice, I think that I'd like to submit.  So I'm not required to provide a work, you know, any context. I can just say, here's, you know, here's a good, what I think is a good working best practice. How does that, you know, I guess I'm just trying to understand how does that, what is the criteria for that to be considered as a best practice versus something else that there's more meat or more, you know, context provided for it. Do you understand what I mean? In other words, I'm just curious. I mean, I may have a good idea, but it may not have a lot of underlying support. Sure. So I'll try to answer those several questions. Someone could go right to saying, I have a best practice. So they try to think of another one than the one that we published. The non-root is what came to my mind, but not using privilege mode for your containers, you know, so they go, this is a best practice. Where is that coming from? It's not out of the air. We're not talking about people just making up stuff. That's fine if someone wants to make up something nobody's heard of. They'll still need to communicate why they think it's a best practice. So that goes into what is the acceptance criteria. So the template and I believe the process version have stuff listed here. Like what is required. So we can come and adjust this, you know, talk about it as a group and everything and say if we think differently. So a prover. So what is this? Implementable. So someone comes up with some idea, but maybe Kubernetes doesn't even have some feature or functionality currently that works with it. It's fine, but I wouldn't call it a best practice if it's not implementable on Kubernetes. You could say it's a best practice on another platform. That's totally fine. But trying to say it's a best practice that can be implemented on Kubernetes is a totally different thing. And that's what we're trying to do in the group. Like what can you do right now? If you need to use external tools and have a better understanding of what's going on. Let's just say that's out of scope. So that's why this one is there. And so it's required. The motivation. Did did you provide a summary and motivation? I should probably pull up one of the existing ones. Let's just do this. No root. So summary and motivation. What is this actual best practice? Tell me what your, what the best practice is. Okay. So it's saying you shouldn't run as this privileged user. Probably if we're talking. Unix based kernel and. UID zero. So that's, that's what we're talking about. The user itself, not container privileges. Nothing else. This is specifically about. The user. So that's pretty straightforward, the summary. So someone can look at this best practice, Oliver and, and now what am I, what is this actually about the, you know, ideally the name tells you container should not execute process as a non root. Or should execute. The summary. Is expanding on that a little bit. And now we have the motivation. This is a, you know, a, a quick. A quick summary. What is it? And why are we saying this is a best practice? That's a motivation. So both of those. Those are required. If you don't have a summary and you don't have your motivation, then the best practice is not going to be accepted. And then from there, you know, we start providing more details. We're launching a new training plan. So this is not that. Test or completed. It might be. But is it testable? So some best. Some implementations. Are harder to test than others. I don't think anything you would call it impossible, but if we can't communicate, here's how you test the best practice, of communication around, here are the different things in it. This isn't the test case and spec and everything else right now, but there needs to be something. And this is probably input when you're talking with different folks to whoever can help with that. So from the, I'll just bring up Annika, the RC team. So if there's something there and people are like, yeah, we don't know how to test that, then that's going to be a problem to at least highlight. Scoring, this one's probably something that we should remove and let or we need to modify. This could tie into if it's specifically for the CNS certification, how that would tie in would be in my mind right now, this is talking off, you know, just on the fly. Is it an essential type of best best practice? Would we say everyone should absolutely do this? So non running processes, non rude, I think is a pretty essential, but you may have others that we go, no, absolutely. Everyone should do this. There's no questions. Now, it doesn't mean that there's no exceptions, but we're saying this is very strongly recommended best practice, you know, and decide on where it lies on that. Implementation history, not required, but you know, this is going to be good as we continue. So we go, is this part of, do we have tests out there now? Is it part of the certification process? Yeah, whatever other things that we want to put. And then the supporting documentation. So I don't think we actually highlight. Actually, let me see up here. User stories say optional notes optional references are not optional. And that might be part of what you're talking about here. I think the user stories or use cases, this is how it's relevant. I guess this would, in some ways, tie into the motivation. What are we trying to solve with this best practice? So the use cases and user stories are highly recommended. Right now we don't have the marked required. Maybe because, you know, I'm not sure, but maybe because there may be something that's obviously a agreed on best practice. And there's a lot of references like this one, even if you didn't have our own user stories for this no root and container's best practices. The reference links would cover more than what we have in that context to provide, you know, where do you apply this? If it's needed, though, we can go through and adjust, you know, what do we think are required and optional and what we may add or modify for this particular set. But I would say this is the end goal, Oliver, for a lot of the content. Maybe it's the end goal is to have a list of best practices that people can reference with, you know, all the content within each best practice that helps them understand why, you know, why each one of us important, is it relevant to them? And enough information that they can go off and, you know, figure out how to implement it for themselves. We're not implementing it for everybody. But if they can understand enough and there's enough references, then they can say, yep, this is relevant to me, I'm going to try to do this. And if we take, I guess if, you know, if everyone agrees that that's a good goal, like a list of best practices that people developing CNS, or validating that CNS are following a set of best practices, if the goal is we're going to have this list and it's going to have relevant information, then how do we make that process easier to follow so that we can publish more and, you know, what is actually required and not required as relevant, I think would go into that Oliver. Yeah, I appreciate that, Taylor. And I guess it was implied, but I think to your, I mean, for me, the end goal has been fairly clear, wanting the best practices and a list of those. So that's not been so much of a question for me. But to your point, maybe also part of the end goal is this published best practices or, you know, you're talking about CNF vendors, you know, being able to look upon them and say whether or not this is valid or not valid or something they're going to use or implement. And I guess it's also, this is also feeding into other work streams like the CNF test suite. So in the conform, and thus the conformance program as well. So it's, you know, there's a chain of things that are taking place. One very quick question, Victor or Taylor, when you were showing the contribution page there, there was a point about implementable and it looks like it's a label or something. You can't click on it. Where do we get a definition of that? What that means? Yeah, that point there. The check off list, okay. If you're not highlighting it, if you just look, I mean, implementable, it looks like, you know, it's referred to, you know, if you click somewhere else you'll see that it's obviously, you know, as if it were defined somewhere or elsewhere. I don't think there's any definition inside of the CNF working group. Okay. I'm sorry guys. I mean, you know, tell me to be quiet and let the next person talk, but here's an example for me. I don't know what that, you know, I need to understand what that means. You know, if we mean that it needs to be something that you can support from Kubernetes, you know, then okay, or does it mean something else? I think that would have a bearing on the best practice. I think we should expand on it. You know, the simplest would be implementable within Kubernetes. But then I would ask what that means. So I think we need to define it and maybe that's, you know, we don't have to do that right now, but I think it would be useful to understand what does that specifically mean? Add a message, you know, you can link to this. I'm only operating with one arm, Taylor. I've had surgery, so I can't, I'm going to ask if someone can maybe just help out or. All right. Let me put it in like this. Yeah, sounds good. So we can go, you know, maybe one of the things that we can do is go through these documents and see. Yeah, good idea. Create an issue. When you get a chance Oliver, can you please create an issue for that? It's in the document now. For any of the ones where you're thinking, I don't know what this is or can we adjust or add. And then we can go through and look at any of these and decide what adjustments what we want to add and everything else. I know some of this was left more general, so that as things change, we can, it would be relevant to that. That said, I think we can make some of it a little more specific. And if in the future, we need to expand it, we can come back and do that. We're not setting something in stone. Or any other questions, comments? No, I guess that Oliver made a lot of good points. I mean, it's important to just think about it and maybe modify a few things if we need to change in order to provide more use cases or best practices in this case. So maybe we should plan in the next session to think about more, how can we, if we need to modify something. I'm not talking about more than the mission, it's probably the way to achieve that mission, maybe to have brainstorming and suggesting new ideas or something like that. I like the idea of the issues being created for things that are needed. If we need to look at the overall process and maybe write that out, could be, we have a lot of it, so already written. So when I'm saying this, it's okay to say we already haven't pulled the content. The idea would be to, I think, which goes along with what you're saying, Victor, we could get together and go through the write out the process or find the documentation for the process that we have to get a best practice published. And then after that's written out, it can be examined and we decide if there needs to be any changes. But first, list everything. I mean, I just kind of jumped around based on what I can remember and what Oliver you were asking, but if we actually have the full thing written out, then that'd be good. Another thing that we could do is look at the more at the template, which is, that's part of the process. But I'd just say writing out the entire process from start to finish might be a good place. And the other thing that I was thinking, I mean, we noticed during the telco day that we have a lot of participation. I mean, at least many people submitted good ideas. So probably we don't have to wait until the next telco day. So probably we can provide decent access space for older to chair ideas. And I mean, not necessarily to have to write it down, use cases or best practices, but at least sharing what they have done in their own companies for their own projects to provide CNF and just sharing ideas like specific topics or specific problems that they face. Just use these as an space and just explain or just sharing ideas, I guess. And that way we can use it and not wait until the next telco day and for having the opportunity to share all these because also we have that limited time in that particular day. So probably we can use these as an opportunity for all them. That sounds like a good idea. All right, y'all. If there's nothing else, we'll stop here and maybe come back next time. Do we want to start with documenting the process to have a best practice published like from start to finish? And then we after that, we can decide if we have time to start examining any gaps or stuff like definitions that are not there. Does that sound good for the focus of the next call? Yes. Yeah, I think I'll be. I'm going to put something here. So we remember what does it mean to publish? I would say that we have some best practices as pull request, but we don't have them in a list. We don't have them where we're saying here is the ones that we're saying are essential and very important. So that would be another one, Oliver. Like what is the different levels of contribution of a best practice before it's production GA ready or whatever. So we can communicate. I think all of that can be part of this. So the process from where it goes from an idea all the way until it's probably, you know, we would communicate to the world that it's recommended that everyone does it. So I'll do that. We'll start on that writing out that process and then fill in the gaps after. First, let's get a document. Thanks, everyone. Thanks. Cheers. Cheers.


Take a look at Kevin Durant in this series for straight double-double. That's a playoff career high for KD His fifth double-double in this series. He had 32 points 11 points tonight in a loss and moments ago He met with the media Just wondering, you know where where you guys saw the game turn and you know I feel like we're accustomed to seeing you guys be able to bounce back from some deep deficits I'm wondering what didn't go you guys's way to be able to bounce back from being down early today Four a couple times and they pushed it up. I mean, I just they responded after everyone we made and We got to give him credit for that, but I think we we were down early. We got ourselves back into the game We were down like 12 15 and then we got back cut it It was 8277 then we found a three-point shooter and that's when they kind of took control So I felt like we were right there. We just couldn't get over the home Malika Andrews at the ESPN I'm just wondering what you saw from him Yeah, the arena's it's popping Yeah, middle-teng I mean he first you three's he hit was off office a rebound kickouts threes and then We fired him a couple times got to the free throw line We got them three times shooting threes, you know, so that got his rhythm going and He's a shot maker. So you see Bargo in the basket. You get more confidence So we found him on threes and we offers every time felt like they got off his rebound. He hit a threes. So He made timely shots for him Did you see any difference in in James's comfort level? It seemed like he was moving a little bit more aggressively He's moving better today, but you know, that's a tough tough injury. He gutted it out for us and We're not expecting too much from him movement-wise. Um, You know But he going out there and giving in his arm and we respect that Thanks Kevin Greg Logan news day Uh, Kevin in the fourth quarter you guys were within five points and they got that 18 to two run You feel like that was more of a breakdown on offense than defense because you just weren't getting enough help from enough places and it wasn't diverse enough For you guys to get up and get in get into transit transition and they just kind of wore you out Yeah, I mean we we joked at that three like I said to put it cut it to five and The momentum switched when they came down and got the three shots and we called the time out and then they just We grouped after that and uh You know, for the most part offensively like, you know, a couple possessions We, you know stagnant we turned the ball over but for the most part we still just kept playing and um, That's what we all about just keep playing keep Um, trying to win the possession. I mean all offense. We're trying to you know, patch things together and make plays for each other but sometimes You know, it's not gonna be there. So I think defensively we we tried to lock in as much as possible After our offense and stalling but we we put ourselves in position to be in the game late But they made a huge run


What's up everyone? Take down here. Welcome back to another video. Today, we're gonna be talking about roadside assistance, why it's important to have a couple different ones and different options that you can choose some, some of the better options. So, let's get right into this. Roadside assistance is important to have in case of an emergency. Whether you run out of gas, need a tow, or have a dead battery, you want to choose a roadside assistance that has you covered. When I bought my 2021 Dodge Ram Classic brand new, it came with the Mopar Roadside Assistance for five years or 100,000 kilometers. It wasn't until after owning my truck for one year that I actually read what is covered with the Mopar Roadside Assistance. That's when I realized that it didn't actually cover much and it was one of the worst roadside assistance that you can have. If you are in need of a tow, they will only tow you to a Dodge dealership within 35 kilometers of your breakdown location. Anything past that, you have to pay the difference. Which that doesn't really help me out much because when I go and visit my parents, the closest Dodge dealership is about 100 kilometers away.  But if your vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven, you have to pay the tow and the winch in full. Once I found out what the Mopar Roadside Assistance did cover, I definitely was looking for a different one. The two best ones that I found were CAA and the Canadian Tire Roadside Assistance. So we're gonna start off with CAA. They have three tiers. They have the basic for $75 a year. They have the plus for $119 a year. And they have the premium for $149 a year. The basic is not really worth it because it only covers up to 10 kilometers of towing. The plus includes 200 kilometers of towing, free emergency fuel, and a battery test. And premium only adds 320 kilometers, but that is only for your first tow. Everything after that is the exact same as the plus plan. Looking into it, the best option for CAA with the best value is the CAA plus plan for $119 a year. There's also the Canadian Tire Roadside Assistance, which is what I honestly went with. They have member, vehicle, and family plans and they have a silver and gold plan for each. Member plan covers one person for any vehicle that they drive. The vehicle plans cover a single vehicle regardless of who is driving. And the family plan covers up to five members in the same household. The silver member and vehicle plans are $70 a year and the silver family plan is $170 a year. The gold member and vehicle plans are $100 a year and the gold family plan is $290 for a year. Breaking down what each the silver and gold include, all the silver plans only include 10 kilometers for the towing while the gold plans include 200 kilometers for the towing and you can choose to be towed to any Canadian Tire within that 200 kilometer range, not just the closest Canadian Tire.  The Canadian Tire Roadside Assistance gold plans are the better option. They cover the same as the CAA plus plan and are $100 compared to CAA's $119. Plus the gold Canadian Tire plans also go on sale throughout the year for around $80. Looking at what is included for CAA and the Canadian Tire plans, the best option would be the gold plans for Canadian Tire. That is what I went with and that is honestly what I recommend because it's honestly just a piece of mind. Instead of 10 kilometers for towing, you're getting 200 kilometers for towing, which is awesome. So I would honestly recommend that one but hopefully you do choose any roadside assistance, hopefully something that does cover a lot, like the ones that I did mention in this video, but at least have it, especially if you are traveling a lot because you never know what can happen. Roadside assistance is definitely something that you hope to never need, but if you need it, it is honestly great to have. Hope you guys enjoyed this video. I'll see you guys in the next one. Please take care, peace.


Welcome to Mahasivaratri 2020. Living death is not a morbid idea, it is a reality. We are all living death. We can say we are living or we can say we are dying and it's not different. There are just two different words for the same process. Death is not an event that happens once. Death is happening, it's a process. One day it will be complete. The most beautiful thing about life is nobody fails, everybody shall pass. That we have His Excellency, the Vice President of India. Here I stand before the towering 112-foot face of Adi Yogi. He is an inspiration and our presentation that Yogi is not about belief. It is technology to transform yourself. Understanding the nature of life and the nature of life here is definitely the energy, the energizing, the electrifying. And I too came here to learn about the nature of my life. I am fortunate to be here tonight. There are Sadguru Ji and Mahadev Ji here. The combination was very beautiful. So we are really, really happy to be here. Jadhi, Inam, Moli, Madham, Ilaathi and Apalpatti. We have a place to visit. We are very happy to be here. One of the most important expressions of Tamil language has been which has been Devaram, where it's an outpouring of devotion. Now our children, at the Esha Samsruthi, have brought this back in a beautiful way. So here we have this girl from Karnataka, Ananya Bhatt.  This Mahashivaratri, it's my wish and my blessing. This should become a turning point for you to take your life little more playfully.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Power Trading Hour with your host, David White. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, David White. Welcome all to another excellent edition of the Power Trading Hour with me, your wonderful host of the aforementioned Power Trading Hour. And as always, it doesn't really matter where you are, where I'm at, although I'm at home, as long as we're here at the appointed time. The following takes place between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. So what did we have? We had a fairly big signal on Friday, and that was 18 billion shares from the CBOE consolidated tape that matched the previous low of 18 billion, although we were a little bit lower. So it was about the same, didn't blow through the lows, closed a little bit higher. And do I have it here? Maybe I have it. Let me see if I can find it. One of the more interesting things I think I had in the newsletter, no, did I delete it? I did it. Maybe it's in the newsletter because I thought it was one of the biggest signals that I've ever seen in the market. Let me see if I can't find it here. Yeah, there it is.  The TD9 count for the 8th on Friday, I don't talk a lot about TD9s because they're not, you know, a number just because it got to 9, your odds increase, but it's not a burning bush in the markets. You can get markets that extend and a lot of markets that you can't get a TD9 count below a 6 over time. But man, did you have a ton of stocks already eight days down and, you know, when you have a few of them or some of them, kind of interesting, but to see maybe a little over a thousand shares, I mean, a thousand stocks on a TD9 gives you great pause, whether this is out of about 5,000, that you're almost at a bottom. All my sector oscillators had almost everything at the lows and you gave it your best shot. Now does that mean that if we have what Wycoff called a selling climax that you don't come back there and the answer is no? But generally, as Steve was saying about five minutes into the end of his show, you can get some fairly extensive and long retracements off of a counter trend moves off of some lows. The volume would suggest, since we had a lot of volume, but suggest that we are going to come back and retest those lows of last week again. You've got two really big different signals. You've got that selling climax signal from a Wycoff point of view and you've got, you know, which is basically the price movement and the volume, but not being able to blow out the lows. Then you've got some of the other things like TD9s and my sector oscillators. A lot of them have just been down for like five days to levels that say that it's getting time to buy, but you know, you have just that much in the way of outliers for the market that we were in due for a bounce. Now, there's a few things going on today. First is options rollover.  I'm going to say this time because of the short and weak normally on Monday and Tuesday. You'll have one day that's up and one day that's down. I'm suspecting that what we're going to get is a strong day up today, maybe a little bit of a pullback tomorrow. Maybe through the lunch and then maybe we're going to start seeing this thing try to claw its way back up to about 4,000 on the S&P cash. Now, time forecasting is a lot tougher than price forecasting because a lot of things can happen. You can get there a lot sooner, a lot later, but I am suspecting that we're going to probably see something where this takes us up all the way through the week of the 4th of July. We'll have another three-day weekend. There's at least one of the things I've been talking about in the newsletter for a while is whether or not we're going to see the executive branch start to fold on gas prices, although they want really high gas prices to make us all want to buy electric cars. Electric cars are $120,000 or $140,000 for most of them. There isn't enough lithium-ion or lithium-4 lithium-ion batteries or any other kind of batteries. Most of them are made from rare earths. Kind of a pipe dream of believing that if we could just jack the price of gas up, the EVs will flow. They're still less than a half a percent of all cars sold in the world. There is the idea that maybe we can just force people into it. I don't think it's going to happen. Things probably just going to get worse, but at this point I think the executive is folded to the pressure of the House and Senate running for office to give at least a little bit of a respite from it. We've got talk of what some people call a gimmick by getting rid of the taxes. That's about a quarter of a gallon. That'll help a little bit. And then, of course, trying to ask for the kindness of strangers for the Saudi Arabians to start pumping more fuel, and it looks like they've started a little bit to that way already. I had some people ask me about my theories on natural gas. Let's go ahead and look at boil. I don't see a whole lot of reasons to think, as I said before, that there is a change in this. We are down to 60 on boil. You are finally where you probably should have at least some level of support. This goes back to a gap higher and a gap lower. The last gap on this was on April 5th, if you want to go back as home gamers and take a look. But you have pretty much an equal gap higher and lower. The previous gap on that started back on November 9th of 2021. So you're back to what should be fairly decent support. You have a big reversal day. If you want to see what an abandoned baby or a shooting star is, this is the kind of signal that you can't miss. A proverbial priority push on the 2nd of February this year in Boil. That's what you're looking for in Canada, something to be playing out there. Anyway, we're back just above that a day of the 2nd of February. We're back. At the time of booming inflation, we have purchasing powers eroded. There's no better place to protect your harder and money than in gold. Vistagol flagship asset is the Monttard Gold Project in the Northern Territory of Australia. This is Australia's largest undeveloped gold project. We are talking a world-class gold project in a tier one mining district. This is a large-scale, low-cost project with significant existing infrastructure and a politically safe and friendly mining jurisdiction. Vistagol just completed the Monttard feasibility study, which resulted in a 7 million month gold reserve in a 16-year mine life. All of this combined with the approvals of all major operational as well as environmental permits. This distinguishes Monttard as an attractive, diverse party, ready-development stage gold project.

The old Nissen candlestick references. Anyway, that is, if you're looking for one, that is it. Anyway, back to a market already in Prague. Let's do a little history, and then we shall move on and upward. On this day in 1965, the birds' album, their debut, Mr. Tambourine Man, marked the beginning of the folk rock revolution. Just a few months, the birds have become a household name with a number-one single and a smash hit album that married the ringing guitars and backbeat a bridge invasion with the harmonies and lyrical depth of folk to create an entirely new sound. Yeah, yeah, it's okay. I find it kind of irritating now. I kind of, I really like the part in Animal House, where Bluto comes down the stairs and catches, kind of, what's the guy's name? I'm trying to remember the actual singer that was on the stairs, just grabs his guitar and starts beating it to death. But we moved out of this part of the British invasion within a couple of years, but I didn't have to live through it. So that's all that mattered. What was it? I want to say, I think he is the same guy that did the, what else was he?  Anyway,<PHONE_NUMBER>. The birds are not on my playlist, but I can see how it changed some stuff from the way it went.<PHONE_NUMBER> as we bring up some charts to start talking about it. Let's take a quick look at UNG too, because you are finally at least at some support levels. Let's see what the old UNG, pretty much the same kind of thing, let's get this cleaned up a little bit so you can see it. Just a tad better. Anyway, we're back to two, well, I'm going to say three attempts at this level that go back to the 11th of April. And that gap up had 8.7 million shares. You came back with 8.5 and then 13 million shares, but Friday about 7 million shares. Today about four. So Spartan, starting to see some support in here. As I said before, you've got some real seasonal weakness about this time of year. You want to be looking about the mid-part of August to start dipping your toe back in the water. Yes, but what is his name? What's his name? He was, he was, does it say in here? He was a, if I said his name, you would know it instantly on an animal house. It's going to drive me nuts, but I shall remember. Oh, what happened here then with something as arms in the photo, let's go anyway. Someone I'm sure will email me at path at tfnn.com and let me know or give me call at<PHONE_NUMBER>. So what do we have again? We kind of got to some port levels that go back to some longer gaps in the spies. You really have kind of a little bit of a reversal pattern with a gap up here. What I would love to see to buy this and probably hang on through mid maybe that first week of July is maybe a pullback of about half of what we have here today. Now we talked a little bit about the other signals that we've been looking at on Friday and that was these three gap plays. So a lot of times you get the three gaps and then it's just over. You got one extra day and you're back up into this gap. Now the theory on three gap plays generally is if you're in a regular market, not horribly bullish or bearish, is that you're going to come back up and at least try to fill all three gaps. It tends to get filled very quickly on the way down. It takes a much longer time to fill them on the way back up, but if you're thinking about counter moves that could last kind of a while on the spies, you could get right back up to 400, which is kind of one of the reasons why I think we could see a 400 print or 4,000 print on the S&P cash itself coming back into those gaps. So pretty good indication of a three gap play here and the idea of a three gaps is you get three really large gaps down and then it will go back and try to fill those three gaps and sometimes it's generally on a daily it's not something that gets filled in a couple of days unless those gaps are on the way up, on the way down as they're here they take a little longer. So could we see this thing kind of fool around him and Ha do a couple of two steps forward, one step back days and see that we get to maybe the end of that first week of July and start seeing 400 prints. That's probably it. That'd make a nice 50% kind of a retracement, maybe even a 60% retracement and I think it's probably nothing but kind of a relief rally so far and maybe we don't get up to that. But you got a pretty good chance of I'm going to say 80% chance of at least hitting somewhere in that gap on the spies now the the open of that day which is kind of where I'm looking at this thing starting was 394 so you don't quite have to hit 400 but generally hitting somewhere around that day that open of and what's called 395 396 397 if you're feeling fairly bearish that would probably be the best risk reward that is coming in the near future. Stephen Bishop thank you somebody I couldn't I just couldn't I just couldn't remember on and on saying there was a bunch of songs in the 70s wasn't it or was he in the 80s. I think it was the late 70s early 80s Stephen Bishop he's also in a classic movie called Kentucky Fried Movie and in a short in that movie called Catholic High School Girls in Trouble kind of a a farce on the typical no Blue Dose John Belusi I knew that it was the singer it was him but he was yeah it was a a a a homage to exploitation movies of the 70s the drive-ins if you want to take

more information just click the think or swim banner on the front page of TFNN.com as we return we'll take a look at some more let's go to the usual suspects that everybody is always talking about let's take a look and just see the last little bit here you got a gap up on apple this is why I think we're probably going to get a bit of a pullback either tomorrow or next day but I think it'll probably start tomorrow you gapped up from this gap down so far the volume is about 50 million shares to the gap down of 107 million shares we had about an hour and a half left not the best we did have some numbers come out over the weekend that I thought were very interesting for NVIDIA and AMD we did find out that it was always kind of hard to tell how many of these video cards were sold to bitcoin miners but Wall Street Journal did have a fairly good in-depth article and they've come up with the idea that they've sold 15 billion dollars were the video cards for mining crypto currencies out here AMD did have fairly nice low on friday with 105 million shares that goes back to the may 12th low at 83 27 so it went below it and now it's back above it that had 130 million shares so you're about 25 million shares lighter today not so much 68 million shares but a nice little gap up let's look at some of the other ones in VDA okay okay everybody's talking about MU today I think at least in the short term maybe not in the long term people are talking about MU you did have a bounce but it's not that big a one out here your volume's fairly light there is a thought that all those video cards are going to come to market when they came to market before on the first big downtrend uh it was still hard to get video cards but if you're talking about 15 billion dollars worth of video cards that could get possibly sold remember we are now below the price of production for most crypto currencies and that means that they've turned their machines off because they use more electricity than they're more than they're likely if they're lucky to get if crypto currencies get mined for them so you got a little doji out here today but i think there are a lot of pressure right now micron made a lot of its money maybe half of its money on VRAM for those video cards and why are you getting a bounce out of here today the overhang of those video cards are going to be probably what people are talking about for a while in vda i continue to save my pennies because i need a four thousand dollar video card but that's it now for nvidia it looks a little bit better and my guess is because they have a different business uh than just video cards itself they are selling a lot of specialized technology uh to big business and that will continue unabated and unaffected by bitcoin miners to a greater extent than amd will you've got kind of a not as as good as a low may 12th 71 million shares and nvidia at 50 155 67 you got it with 63 million shares at the max so yeah is it lighter yeah you have a good gap today with a little better volume yes um but again uh energy on the way up is about the same on the energy on the way down and that generally connotes it best some kind of trading range so can you get a short squeeze and a move higher in these you can i think it's probably going to be september uh in fact we got some decent uh dates uh from nvidia and amd about their next edition video cards and it's kind of an arm race uh arms race so you're always looking for the last uh the latest card if you're a gamer uh or if you're in machine learning um but there are probably going to be a ton of video cards available from those crypto miners uh that go belly up on this uh<PHONE_NUMBER> and i thought i had something that go away and i think it did i don't know why that did so let's go back here and open this back up just so i know and see okay i've got a today that still shows i've got a something a question here but i don't know where it's at okay we shall see it says i've got one over here too do i have it up here maybe i don't know where this question is on my screen okay someone may have private message me but i don't know how well it's gone away now so who knows okay<PHONE_NUMBER> uh anyway we're looking at video let's go ahead and take a look at the other uh fang stocks although now that they've changed their name to metamucil is it a mang stock hard to tell anyway um microsoft did kind of blow out never really had a good signal uh you're back really just into the candle of the tenth of this month that was down on 31 million shares you're up on 15 million shares so the big cap stocks um are higher but they're still problematic you may need to pull back to about 24750 on lighter volume to find any kind of low but i think a lot of these stocks as i said it may take us into the first or second week of july uh to get through a counter move in a market if that's all this is a counter move higher but uh you had lots of short positions you had a lot of people you had a lot of stocks that were incredibly washed out so can you go up on no volume i've seen that too but my guess is we're probably going to have a few weeks of higher prices but it's going to be a lot of two steps forward one step back and i think one step back comes tomorrow uh okay is that uh am i live on that i hope i am okay let's go back to this okay and that how come i can't uh there we go okay finally got back okay pslv take a quick look at that pslv okay physical silver uh on the good side as you came down and had light volume uh a few days ago the downside is you had more energy on that move from june 6 down uh to june 14th so i don't see a lot going on in there let's take a quick look at the gld see if anything else these things all just kind of look like they're going uh sideways okay we'll come back we'll look at gld a little bit longer and some of the other fang stocks and some of the other stocks are you in the market for buying or selling real

gold traded on the nyse american and tsx under the symbol vgz as we come back to the really big show today not a lot of movement here over the last few minutes and up about 94 points on the s and p cash as i said ideally you want to see a pullback of about 50 percent of today's move higher it's going to be a bit of a short squeeze and then a pullback tomorrow and then maybe we have something to hang our hat on depending on how the volume comes in right now you don't have a lot and what else do we have out here we're going to look at meta musil is that meta now i think in it meta musil it is yeah i mean the only good thing is you didn't really have a lot of volume last week today breaking that low and significantly looks like it's going to continue on so i don't see much in that to question about disney is that ready to turn they had a horrible weekend we talked last friday about them having a horrible week besides the chinese threatening to take disney world china from them they got panned on buzz light year and i think they got 15 million dollar opening weekend which was horrible for a movie like that overall budgets about 600 million dollars so the question is whether they can even make their money back i kind of like the you know the toy story things especially since a lot of that was done in in the vein of my work in the in the 90s toy story as was of course the first animated full length computer animated show or movie but to that point everything else had been bit parts and part of it but i don't know if tim allen doesn't do the voice of buzz light year was that a stupid mistake i think anybody my age if they were taking their grandkids or had younger kids they probably still remember what his voice sounded like i don't think it's a great idea to change that besides he's still around and he's fine it's not like he couldn't do it uh but uh yeah weird anyway uh 50 million dollars into 600 million opening week um they're gonna be lucky to break even on this deal on what i thought probably should have been a uh a home run with uh all three bases uh on there but not much happening for the disney company today okay what else do we have a question about the ibb let's take a look here we had a lot of biotechs that were heavily shorted um we talked a bit about this uh the ibb did look fairly good on thursday last week he had the may 12th low 105 36 with 4.7 million shares uh your max volume out of here was uh the uh was uh three million shares so you popped fairly decently on friday got a little bit more of a gap 114 is going to be very strong resistance though in this so you may have gotten the lion's share uh of at least the index over the next couple of days i'll also have a question on the tlt which we'll get back to um what do you have here you got uh and you had that kind of a little almost a little well you had a doji now you got a tombstone forming out here today my guess is uh this and the dollar are the fed is going to probably start trying to keep the volatility limited uh for a while i think we were talking about gold when we broke and i didn't get back to it let's take a quick look at that um yeah i'd you know you did you break that what was the low 168 30 so you did test the low of may 13th see if we can't get a better chart of it here you tested the low but the volume was the same i don't think much changed from our question on friday and that is you want to see 168 tested uh in the gld and what that uh actually refers to in the uh actual futures i'm not sure but uh pretty easy to take a guess out here a question about the xme uh that we get a bounce out of here we might start looking for a little bit more i do like uh that you didn't blow out the lows with volume you had 10 million shares on may 12 at 47 65 you got back in it uh what's the close here 47 41 you need another 20 cents to get back into the trading range but again i like to see two things i'd like to see the lighter volume which this did have and lighter energy going down which this did not have uh if you get both of those uh much better chance you're going to have a v bottom uh more likely you're going to have some consolidation as you go across uh the xme uh over the next few weeks then a big v bottom question from ron and some others out here we'll look at workday wda y okay okay what do we see and you don't really have much in this again a lot of these came down especially this last leg on most dinner on more energy from june second high down to the june 16th low don't see anything i mean you got more energy so i don't see a whole lot of bounce out of that one okay what else do we have okay uh let's see look at apple uh question about amazon now we talked about this when it did make it slow the first low 102 41 at 132 you tested it with 103 had a really nice move higher only slightly lighter volume back to the previous low of 100 million shares so you got your second low with a little lighter volume i would like to see a lot more you got a little bit of a doji out here too uh these big caps you know maybe they're going to need a lot more consolidation than maybe the medium caps are that i've seen out here okay what else do we have any question on tesla we're talking about this uh kind of interesting a huge move out here i just very tough for me to see if there's enough uh raw materials uh and for first uh to move that many things that uh that's but uh a nice day with some decent we'll be back in a sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument you have to

guest on CNBC Tom will bisect and dissect the markets the Tom O'Brien show next on tfnn as we come back to a market that's kind of hanging on to some fairly nice bounce as you get these big kind of bounces in a bear market as we've talked about so far almost 100 points on the s p cash so what are we going to do we're going to look at the volume and again as we said 18 billion shares on Friday part of that is quad-witching 8.4 billion shares so far today so yeah we're getting kind of a bounce out of here is it going to be a huge one and I don't know part of it probably options rollover that continues tomorrow if you if the first day of options rollover is up about 80 percent of the time the next day is down and ideally if you're thinking we're going to get that kind of a couple of weeks up as I think I am I am believing that is the path we have now that you want to see this pull back on lighter volume tomorrow and to see a lighter volume rally maybe all the way through the first or second week of July so keep an eye on those volumes just because his light volume doesn't mean it can't go higher just means that you're setting up for the next real big move as we look at the rest of
