This is Chris Byte. My friends call me Batesy. I'm back again guys today Got some free stuff for you first things first that intro you saw at the beginning of this video It's yours take it link is in the description below if you like it And you want to show that before your videos done deal take it All right guys the second thing I want to talk about is that same intro But instead of it being with freedom Maybe you would like to have a version that has your logo in it or maybe your YouTube channel or your name in it or whatever Guys, I'm giving away not one but three Customizations of that particular intro in the comment section all you got to do is leave a comment and Secondly give us some feedback on heartbeat. You know that add-on that a lot of people are using I think was like a hundred thousand people have downloaded. I don't know it's crazy number But we're looking for feedback in terms of what you like about it Maybe what you don't like about it what we could improve on things that you would like to see in the future Maybe we should add in some features or take away some features Make some adjustments. I'm telling you that because we're working really really hard on it And the tool is free for everybody But we want to make sure that we're building and developing the right things and rather than developing it in a vacuum Or having a bunch of really, you know pointy-headed guys going oh, this would be really nice We're gonna get that from the horse's mouth. You tell us what you want I talked to the developers and if it's possible and feasible we're gonna make it happen. That's it So leave a comment on this video keep in mind that the last video I showed you I had three winners for the custom intro and those intros are nearly done Congratulations to those guys and congratulations to the future winners on this video. There's gonna be a lot more stuff like this We're gonna be releasing stuff on heartbeat Crazy stuff coming guys, but remember right now leave a message. Let's do this This is your boy, Bixie. Enjoy the free stuff get in the competition. I'll be back soon


You're welcome back to the Breakfast and Plot Stevie Africa. It's now time for Today in History and on this day in history, the 14th of September 2015, what happened was that a Muslim teenager was arrested and that's for carrying a clock that actually looked like a bomb.  So his name actually is Ahmed Mohamed. He was a freshman at the time. He was questioned by the police. He was detained. He was led in handcuffs through a juvenile detention center and he was suspended from school for three days for what authorities called a hooks bomb. But he was actually a homemade clock. I mean, it was a clock that he assembled, put together by himself and Mohamed's arrest actually set up a storm on social media. Many saw this as an example of racial profiling as islamophobia and he became known as the clock boy. The hashtag known as I stand with Mohamed appeared on social media. Mohamed's family filed a lawsuit against the school district, but of course that was thrown out and that teenager did not return to school and his family returned to Qatar soon after the arrest. And that's what really happened today in history. This young man arrested, 14 years old young man. He was a Sudanese American high school goer. I understand the racial discrimination perspective here and why the hashtag also came up and why that was even considered. But you also can't blame the American criminal justice system and security system because of the PTSD that has risen from 2001. It's unfair, no doubt, but at the same time, there's always going to be little pockets here and there of things like that. I listened to a podcast yesterday of the racial discrimination that happened in the years, 2015 is even far from 2001 to about 2005, 2006 there was huge racial discrimination in the United States against Arabs who were Americans who had no terrorist links or anything. But as long as you were Arab, there was a lot of that that was going on. Pretty much the same thing that started happening after Americans sometimes just disappoint you. But pretty much the same thing happened after COVID-19 started. There was some attacks on Asians in the United States for a while. Mostly some people would say because of from President Donald Trump's narrative and his speeches and some of all of that. But it's both ways. Yes, it could be racial profiling. At the same time, there's certain things that just kind of like red flags. You don't just go carrying a clock up and down, seeing the times that we currently are living in. You don't just go carrying a clock? Yeah, I mean... You made a clock and took it to school. There's nothing wrong with that. Absolutely nothing wrong with it. But when you... Because of the little... They should have done their due diligence and investigated. You fought subjecting him to such inhumane treatment. So that's where they got it wrong. So if you look at a clock and you ask him what that is and it says, well, just a clock I made at home, that's where it should have ended.  You let him go on his way. The fact that he had to be suspended from school for three days before the fact that he had to be handcuffed, that was completely unnecessary. And that's where it is. You can point out that there definitely is racial profiling, especially in 2015. This is 14 years after 9-11. So I don't know, I can't defend any of them in this way. I'm also guessing that if it was a white kid who brought that clock, nobody would have raised any eyebrows. I mean, that was also part of the conversations that came up. Sadly. That the reaction to white kid inventors were very different. Of course, they're praise-celebrated. They invite them on big TV shows to talk about the invention. But it's a white kid here and it's a black kid, a Muslim kid. It seems to be a different narrative. It's pretty sad. You know, I think from 9-11, the events from 9-11 have been really, really sad. You know, 2,977 lives were lost on September 11, 2001. Close to 1.5 million lives are lost in the war in Afghanistan and in Iraq. 1.5 million people that were unnecessarily terrorist. Anyway, let's still in the United States. We're moving back now to 1901 to talk about the 25th president of the United States. His name is President William McKinley. He died on this day after being shot a couple of days earlier by an anarchist. And this event eventually led to a huge decision over who really should protect the United States president. His deputy then, Theodore Roosevelt, took over from him. And there were some court cases that were a lot of debates over whether the secret service should continue, because President McKinley at that time wasn't necessarily moving around with any protection. He loved to walk around the streets and meet people and have handshakes here and there. But after his death or his assassination by an anarchist, there then were huge debates over who should protect the United States president. They argued either between the secret service or the United States army. But eventually the courts gave a ruling that it should be the secret service. He died on the 14th of September of gangrene which were caused by the wounds because one of the bullets couldn't be taken out of him. He was shot twice in the stomach and one of the bullets was left inside him by the doctors. They couldn't find it because, of course, his 1901 they weren't necessarily x-rays back then. So that's what eventually led to his death. The person who shot him, I can pronounce his name, I think is Cos Goz had lost his job during the economic panic of 1893 and eventually turned to an anarchist and of course had huge issues with leadership in the United States and across the world and supported prior assassinations of previous American presidents and took it upon himself to assassinate William McKinley. He had tried to meet with him twice or tried to assassinate him twice in the past but didn't get close enough until this particular event. So yeah, McKinley died on this day. He was shot a couple of days earlier and Theodore Roosevelt eventually took over as United States president. Sad one. He actually shot on the 6th of September 1901 and sadly died on September the 14th. Too bad what happened in this day in history. Yeah, all right 1901 and 2015 on both in the United States. Now let's take a short break. When we come back, we're moving to our first major discussion for today. Our off-the-price guest has already started that conversation and that is the jailbreak in Kogi State. What exactly happened who you know is currently at risk and what is the Kogi State government and the Ministry of Interior needing to do to ensure that those prisoners are found and brought back to prison. We'll be back.


I heard you max.  No, I'm saying so it ain't never wait a minute. I heard you max. So cream got into So you a little bit I grew up bro because the old me I was I was crashing that man. I'd really like thank God man I got a story. I ain't never told nobody Bro, I never told him about shout out the butchie P my butchie who was Dougie And free to man, I was proud when I was like a club promoter as a kid, bro And this is like one of the quickest ways I can make money Boom's we had a little older dude named Tucci. His name was to he locked up right now So he had a lit he had us doing some lit criminal right man. I was so young at this time He was like it was like we was in I forgot exactly how old I was but we was in the part of area. He's on north side We was up early in the morning man. We try to get some money and we seen the taxi. It was a taxi, bro like If we was in the car, we was we was falling behind the taxi the taxi had somebody in the taxi so they was finna they was finna drop they was finna Drop off the person in the taxi and while we behind them and we all in the car was like Hey, bro, when you pop when you drop the taxi out, we gonna hop out and rob them. You know what I'm saying? I'm good. I'm like big big. So I'm gonna do at that time. I'm the one with the gun because I'm trying to be the I'm him at that moment.  No, he pulled the car in front of the taxi so he couldn't drive I hopped out with the gun Trying to aim at him and try to shoot him. No, like the gun jam.  I would not be here right now. I would not be here right now, bro That's it. That's it. That's all it. That's all God So, you know a lot of times when I'm on because I sauce would win and he pops up on my Timeline and stuff like that. I remember one time I saw a lot of TSF doing acting And y'all doing different roles and I know you've been in different roles as well two movies. I mean, right? Yeah, I was about to say so Yeah, the whole viral How did you get into acting man? How did I get into acting on first off cash? I got shot out to my brother cash magnetized. He from it was a The Texas movie the screw movie at that time. Yeah My boy chill shot it chill shot it cash and chill of partners and friends and they needed a Northside dude for the lead role and at that time like I say when it comes to the north I'm for sure if I ain't top one I'm top three that you don't think about on the north for God as you don't jam I'm using it not you got to think of risen risen on the north side holding it down Regardless so cash and chill put me put it together. I ended up on the screw movie from the screw movie Did you have to do any acting classes? No, I'm not I don't know if you could tell right now like I'm he got it like I Got it. Don't just I'm down for going for acting class because like I said, I've been paying attention. It's like Let me try now man. I'm a big fan of them each because Which was even paying attention to little me each I was paying attention him when he was dropping his little music back then it's like that because I was a big fan of his You know I'm saying but the world and People right now wasn't with him then when he was trying to pursue his music dream 50 grad that boy up and Now he the hottest thing around is doing acting so I tell my manager all the time a man I don't get if I hit tomorrow. I'm acting. I'm hanging this music


Daily Tech News show is made possible by its listeners. Thanks to all of you, including Eric Holm, Carmine Bailey, and Vince Power. Coming up on DTNS, a project to put you in charge of your social networking data, augmented reality for speeding vehicles, and our passwordless future is just about here. This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, Cinco de Mayo 2022 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. Buenos dias. I'm Justin Robert Young from Austin, Texas. And on the show is producer Roger Chang. Sarah Lane has the day off, but that will not stop us from starting with a few tech things you should know. Microsoft made a deal with Epic Games to offer Fortnite for free through Xbox Cloud Gaming. The partnership lets users play Fortnite in a way similar to how they stream videos from Netflix. So it's over the web. It's using Azure. You do need a Microsoft account, but you don't have to pay Microsoft for it. You just need a Microsoft account. Microsoft says this agreement applies to anyone who wants to play regardless of whether they have a subscription with Xbox or not. Gamers will be able to play on an iPhone, iPad, a device powered by Google's Android software just through the web. Even though both Apple and Google have banned Fortnite from their app stores, this isn't going through the app store. So this is allowed. Indeed. Google started widely rolling out support for Google Assistant in Android to prompt users to automatically change compromised passwords. Clicking through a prompt will take users to the affected website with Assistant able to handle all steps using its built-in password manager. Android Police points out Google hasn't published requirements for websites to support auto change, so it doesn't work on all sites. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has added JD.com and NetEase to a list of firms that may face expulsion from American stock exchanges. The SEC added the firms under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, which is not an acronym, a hoof cock, which aims to remove foreign jurisdiction companies from US exchanges if they fail American auditing standards three years in a row. Well, the Financial Times reports that Elon Musk has raised $7.14 billion of funding for his $44 billion buyout of Twitter with investors including Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, crypto exchange, Binance, and asset management groups Fidelity, Brookfield, and Sequoia Capital. For anyone asking what's the deal here, this means that Musk can cut the margin loan he has taken with a group of lenders by half to $6.25 billion and increase the equity portion to $27.25 billion with the remaining debt raised from global banks. Finance Chief Executive, Zhengpeng Zhao, told The Times his crypto exchange would offer Elon Musk a, quote, blank check. Yes, but can he cash it? That's a whole thing. Although good news for Tesla, though, I guess, you know. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it certainly makes Tesla more secure if he is cashing out less of what he would need to. Yeah, because the loan was secured against Tesla stock if people haven't been following that. So that's why that's good. The Verge's sources say Sonos is introducing its own voice assistant initially rolling out to US customers on June 1st. We talked about this a little on the extended show yesterday. There will be an international rollout after the US rollout. Sonos Assistant will work with Apple Music, Amazon Music, Pandora, Deezer, and of course, Sonos Radio at launch. It will use the hey Sonos phrase as its wake word. All right, Jerry, tell us a good story about going for a ride with your augmented reality glasses on. Well, baby, you can drive my car and maybe you can do it in AR. Microsoft announced a partnership with Volkswagen to work on tracking movement in vehicles for augmented reality. A HoloLens 2's car scan, or sorry, can scan the real world and overlay virtual objects, but tends to lose tracking when things are moving faster, like you would in a vehicle. Microsoft's new moving platform mode could work with a slew of apps, driver training, or even as a possible way for passengers to use AR while in autonomous vehicles. Volkswagen has developed a heads-up display that will work with Microsoft to sync up with HoloLens. This is the first car partnership, but Microsoft's moving platform is already in use on ships and has plans for elevators, trains, and other quote-unquote moving environments. Meta has a similar partnership with BMW focused on safety, and Finland's Varho works with Volvo to use headsets to model car safety features. What about planes? Because they got trains and automobiles in there. I don't know. We're gonna have to go to John Candy's estate. Yeah, yeah. I think this is fascinating. I think a lot of people think of HoloLens as a joke because it hasn't made it out of the enterprise yet. I don't think it's a joke because of that, but it certainly has, Microsoft would like it to be a consumer device, and they haven't figured out how to make it a consumer device. But it's far from a failure, and this shows that they are making progress in the technology portion of it. I had never properly given consideration to the fact that every time I've had a HoloLens demonstration, and I've only had a couple, but in all those times, I was standing still. You can move around a little bit, but I wasn't on a moving walkway. I wasn't in an elevator, certainly wasn't in a car. And with AR using positioning signals that change in a moving situation, I can imagine that might be an issue. It might be able to do your seat back really well, but if you look out the window, it's gonna lose all ability to do anything. So that's fascinating to me that they are making progress on that enough that they're saying, hey, Volkswagen, makers of Audi, let's get some of your really fast cars and try to put this to the test and make it useful for you. I know they're talking about autonomous cars and making it work in there, which would certainly will eventually be something important, but I think even the idea of having it be a heads-up display that you could put on would be cool too. Well, let's make this clear. People don't think HoloLens is a joke because it hasn't made it out of enterprise. They think it's a joke because like Google Glass, it was pitched as a consumer device failed and now has been relegated to enterprise. Was it really, I guess it kind of was, I think we also are guilty of over-interpreting the pitch, but yeah, go ahead. And I have succeeded, yes. The reality here is that when it comes to AR in a vehicle, for me, I don't think that the future of this is you're wearing your headset in the car. I believe that the future of this is there is a small projector for which is giving you more of a heads-up display as you are moving along down the road because that's where I think the limitations of AR right now, which both for Google Glass and HoloLens is field of vision, whereas when you put on a virtual reality headset, you are getting a fairly wide scope and you are getting fairly high definition and that is increasing every iteration. AR has always had a problem where while you might get your full field of vision through a camera, the AR stuff is always in a smaller window than you would expect. If you're in a car, you don't want a gigantic field of vision because you're looking out and driving, but maybe you would like to know in a way that is less intrusive than looking down at your phone or even one of those screens that have carplay or Android's automotive service that there is gas coming up and you only have a quarter tank or that there is a speed change coming up. I think there's a lot of stuff that you can do that works within the limitations of the tech right now that if they can get the tracking right, which I think also is more advantageous than a car because you are able to put more processing into a car version than you would something that has to hang on your head the entire time, then there's a lot of really cool stuff here. Yeah, I agree and also I would add to that field of view should improve and that may open it up to other uses that can take advantage of that wider field of view, but you make a great point that even under the tech we have now, which is going to get better over time, there are some interesting things that you can do with it. I don't think you're gonna see this in a lot of cars yet though. It certainly is future focused, but the fact that it's already being used on ships, it's already being developed for other uses means that even if it's not Microsoft, somebody is gonna crack this, it's a crackable problem and we will be able to use these in all of these different situations. These are the kinds of hurdles you don't hear talked about enough when you're wondering like, hey, why hasn't that AR thing ended up catching on? It's stuff like this that often is like, yeah, we can't make it work in this regular use case like an elevator and we wanna make it useful for that. Tom, happy Cinco de Mayo to all of our listeners. You might also know as World Password Day and in celebration, I think of both, Apple, Google and Microsoft announced a widening of their commitment to the FIDO Alliance project to deliver secure authentication without having to rely on passwords. Our password free lives just got a little bit closer, huh? Yes, yes, that's right. Up until now FIDO compliance enabled password list login within a platform. So you could have a passkey stored with a piece of software on your phone. You could have it stored on your laptop, but between those, you'd have to re-authenticate. You'd have to use a token like a USB key to log into each one, plug that thing in each one. It wasn't, you weren't able to move the token across the platforms. That meant you couldn't use your phone as the token on your desktop easily. If you got a new device too, you had to re-enroll, which usually meant companies made you create a password as a backup which gets rid of the whole point, right? Yeah. All right, so what exactly then is changing with this new announcement? Yeah, the announcement here is for cross-platform token support. So you'll be able to use your phone as the password list login device across Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, as well as on Chrome, Edge, and Safari. You'll have support in all those operating systems, all those browsers. And you kind of need both because the browser's usually how you're logging in, but you will. You'll have them across all of those things. So the magic example they keep giving when they were talking about it today was I could use Chrome on Windows, but the iPhone would be my way to authenticate. And I'd never need a password, but I'd be across three different platforms. So the way it'll work is you'll register your phone as the device you wanna use to log in. Then when you're logging in, say on your laptop, it will ask you if you wanna use your phone to log in. If you say yes, which you probably will, if you've set it up this way, a notification shows up on your phone. Then you simply unlock your phone, whether that's a pin, a pattern, a fingerprint, facial recognition, no password strictly necessary, especially if you're using fingerprint, and then it will authenticate you and log you in. If you use last pass or one password, they have similar things where they'll give you a notification and then you press yes on the notification. This would be a simpler version of that that could be used by any website that wants to implement. Another part of this is that pass keys can be securely stored in the cloud in case you lose your phone, wouldn't be losing all access. Now, cloud storage has, that's good news for a lot of people, but there are some good benefits to this, right? Yeah, you don't need a password as a backup. If as a website you can implement this and just get rid of storing people's passwords. Because don't forget, if you have a password on your account, it's still only a secure as your password, right? The person trying to break into your account won't try to use FIDO first, they'll go for your password and any multi-factors you have. So with this edition, it's easier for a site to justify just no longer supporting passwords.  Right now they can trick you into typing in your password, but if you're waiting for that notification and you never get it, well, you're gonna be like, that something's wrong, that's not the right place. All right, though. Everything has a downside, Tom, tell us the bad news. On the downside, your phone is now your vault. So if you have a weak passcode on your phone, even if you have fingerprint authentication, if you have a weak passcode on your phone, all your sites could be vulnerable. Though someone would have to get physical access to your phone, so the threat is still reduced, but you want to make sure you use a strong password on your phone and you still need websites to implement it. It's not gonna work if the website you're trying to log in doesn't implement it. It doesn't magically rid websites of passwords and shifting over to this is gonna be a lot of work, though it's work that will pay off in reduced exposure to data breaches and such. So it's worth it. It's just not gonna happen overnight. All this sounds so phone-centric.  I literally did once in London and then I left for Scotland and I had to wait until I got back to London to get my phone from a cabbie. So the cloud token that we mentioned earlier is one way to deal with that. Another backup method would be if there's like, there's no password. You can't log in without the password is to use your email address. Some sites already do this. Send you a login link to your email address rather than having a crackable password as the backup point. When is all this supposed to happen? Apple, Google and Microsoft have all said that they expect the new signing capabilities to become available across platforms within the next year. So this is gonna happen by the end of this year that it'll be available and then it'll take time for websites to implement it. Good to know. Yeah. Just in case you're wondering if you're like, wait, but how is Fido secure?  We have an episode of Fido 2 or called about the Fido Alliance where I go deeply into the public key cryptography. But basically you have the private key, they don't. So even if they break into the website they don't find anything. They find the public key and the public key is meant to be public. That's the short version of that. Do you have ideas about who we could have on the show folks? We'd love to hear them. Let us know. Check out our guest survey. You can put in your recommendations at dailytechnewsshow.com slash survey. Back in 2019, Twitter began an outside research team to create a decentralized social networking platform called Project Blue Sky. We've talked about it before a few times on the show. In February of this year that project was incorporated as an independent public benefit company owned by the folks working on the project and led by CEO Jay Graber. This is an important point in understanding how this might be implemented. Twitter doesn't have a controlling stake in this. So it's worth noting that if Elon Musk does close his deal to buy Twitter that would not affect Blue Sky nor is he under any obligation to use it or cooperate with it, though he probably would. But it is a separate public benefit company public benefit means it is beholden to benefiting the public, not to making a profit. Wednesday, Blue Sky hit a milestone and released its first public source code on GitHub under an MIT license. That's an open source license. Graber emphasized that this code called the Authenticated Data Experiment or ADX is the beginning of a public development process. It's not a finished product. So he's like, don't go start.  And it does give us a good idea of Blue Sky's direction. The protocol is not built around platforms, it's built around your data. Each user would control a personal data repository, a PDR that would have data including posts and engagement in it and it would be yours. You could trust someone to store it in the cloud for you but you could also just keep it on your own device if you wanted to. Social networks that integrate with Blue Sky would then be able to accept data from your PDR and integrate it into their own system. Their system would be how things get displayed, how things get moderated, what things get shown, what algorithms are used but your actual posts and engagements would be under your control. And that means you could take the PDR out of a system and still keep all your posts, all your data. And then you could move it to another system.  Blue Sky describes this as speech being under your control and living inside that PDR and reach being under the platforms control deciding who gets to see what. So let's imagine what this would be like. I'm gonna use Twitter, Parler and an imaginary future social network I'm gonna call OpenWorld. The idea would be you could post on Twitter but all your data lives in the PDR and if you get upset with Twitter's moderation policies or maybe run afoul of those policies you could remove your PDR and take it to say Parler and all your posts and engagement and followers would come with you and now exist on Parler. And anybody who uses Parler and followed you on Twitter might be able to immediately follow you on Parler then because it's the data is under both of your control.  So the idea is the platforms would market to you based on this is how we do business this is how we moderate these are the features we use to display but you don't lose your posts so you can switch easier between the different platforms without having to start over from scratch. Number one, your example is very obviously a toxic troll and I would like to unfollow on all platform. A few things immediately kind of come to mind. Number one, obviously this is a very, very interesting idea the fact that Twitter is funding it I think is largely a PR move although the product might be something that is very, very, very worthwhile in terms of giving an open source backbone to people that would like to make similar services. Who knows what the adoption is going down the road we can leave that for the future. What I'm curious about now because the Twitter that funded Blue Sky is very different than the Twitter that exists today and is currently in the middle of a takeover by way of Elon Musk is who has made part of his 99 thesis nailed to the door on Market Street that he wants to open source the algorithm for Twitter is this something for which will eventually kind of combine with what is put out there publicly by Elon Musk should he follow through on that? Or is this just fundamentally a different idea about what a utopian world would look like if all of these platforms played together? I think this is more than just a PR move and I'm not gonna dispute that it is also a PR move on Twitter's part but I think Jack Dorsey really saw it as a solution as an externality that he could not control at Twitter and said, you know what, if this existed Twitter could take part of it, part in it and then we could solve a lot of the problems that people have with Twitter by saying, hey, there's other platforms, go enjoy them. But he needed to create the ecosystem for that to happen. Now you could argue that Mastodon kind of does this but now that we see the source code we understand that it doesn't do it in the same way that Blue Sky is doing it. So I do think Dorsey wanted to solve a problem and knew that the only way to solve it was to spin something out that he didn't control because he needed to have a system outside of Twitter that he could point to and I have a feeling there's some overlap in the way Dorsey was thinking back then and the way Musk is thinking now.  He is somebody that is there to try to fix a thing mentally, spiritually or technologically. What I wonder is, is the real problem with Twitter and I'm putting this in gigantic air quotes, capital P problem with Twitter that people can't leave easily enough or that we would feel better leaving if all of our tweets were coming with us and plugged back in, is that really the thing that is binding people to Twitter or is it just the fact that the town square is the town square and it's busy, it's humming, there's things always happening and that's why people want to stay here. Well, the problems you hear people talking about are this place is a hellscape, the moderation is awful and the moderation is awful comes from all sides of all issues, right? And I think this is an interesting way to approach that problem of Twitter can't please everyone. They can't have a moderation policy that works for everyone and we've talked in other arenas on your show and elsewhere about the fact that one of the reasons Reddit works better than Twitter is because Reddit pushed moderation into the subreddits so there isn't a moderation policy for Reddit. I think what Twitter's trying to do here is say, what if there were more than one Twitter and you could pick your flavor of Twitter? You want the freewheel in Twitter? You want the responsible Twitter?  Do you want the like super safe Twitter? There could be versions of them and Twitter wouldn't have to run all of them. So that you could still interoperate and still be part of the town square, but you didn't have to go down all the alleys off the square if you didn't want to. I guess there is a presumption that that's the way that this world will continue to evolve as opposed to micro blogging as it were, whatever we want to refer to as the genre for which Twitter exists, which is shorter form posts that our future holds, that there are going to be many different platforms as opposed to what I suspect Elon Musk might possibly be wanting to do with Twitter, which is say, all right, Twitter is the platform and we're going to give you different experiences within it and that's the solution. So I think that the tech here is very interesting. I am for the idea of an open source solution because whether or not it exists to the way that I think is the most exciting right now, there is no doubt that having those tools are very, very, very helpful, but I don't know if the presumptions it's making for the future of social media are something I agree with. Well, there's no reason Musk couldn't use Blue Sky to offer multiple flavors of Twitter. Possibly, yeah. Right, and then it doesn't matter if anybody else ever adopts it, but the technology exists and it's auditable and reliable outside and other people can create interoperability, I don't know. We are assuming, they are efforting to that position. Yeah, and they're not there yet, for sure. But I think there's something to this. I share your skepticism that this is the thing that will solve social networking, but I'm a little more intrigued in the idea of a protocol that gives users control over the data. I've been following Tim Berners-Lee version of this with identity management. It's central to the FIDO Alliance where you have your private key on your device. It's not stored with the service you're logging into. There's a long-term trend here, and whether it's Project Blue Sky or somebody else comes along, that makes a better version of it. I don't know, but I think there is a long-term trend worth paying attention to here. Tom, Mr. Blue Sky, please tell me. Just call me a yellow. Hey, you may recall the last year Stack Overflow and Mechanical Keyboard Manufacturer dropped off the key, did a little collab to make a miniature three-key keyboard, designed to copy and paste text, which is exactly what it did. But it's pretty cool for a $29 device. Now drop Stack Overflow and designer, Cassidy Williams, have unveiled the key V2 with three keys that are dedicated to Control-C and V out of the box and customizable to do anything else. Here's the cool twist. The key V2 is also RGB-enabled, with a case made out of acrylic, rather than aluminum to allow the lighting to shine through. The switches are also hot-smoppable, so you can remove them and replace them with different switches that have different fees. If this sounds like your jam, the key V2 can be ordered directly now from Drop, which has that quantities are limited to 3,900 pieces with an estimated chip date of July 20th of this year. Portion of the proceeds are going to digital undivided. A non-profit focused on helping Latina and black woman entrepreneurs. Ooh, Blinky Lights. Who doesn't love a Blinky Light? I mean, love a Blinky Light. Whoa, whoa, be to all keyboards before they were also a strip in Vegas light show. Yeah, check out the Blinky keyboards. And a mod, a cool keyboard mod. I mean, this crosses so many interests at so many levels. I think they're gonna sell a nice handful of these. So very good. Yeah, yeah, it does also give you a, I love the idea of trying to break out our kind of one size fits all situations to make workflows better. And there are certainly great examples of this, be they coders or video editors or various different situations where you wind up hitting the same buttons all the time and making another destination for that could be something that is more intuitive to your workflow. Yeah, there's a bunch of products like this that are catching on a lot of them with video podcasters where, yeah, I could hit a key on my keyboard but I have to find that key, put it in a little separate thing and I can find it really fast. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, like, yeah, the stream decks of the world have made a meal out of the idea of like, all right, yeah, why am I finding the window buried underneath all my other windows of my OBS to switch various shots when you can just have big colorful fun buttons that you just hit bing bong boom.

Cancer. It's a very scary word. But an outstanding treatment facility was here at home. I was led to the Lawson Cancer Center. As a nurse practitioner at the Lawson Cancer Center, we are champions for our patients. I am so happy for Robert. The treatment worked. Pikeville Medical Center and the Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates joined together Tuesday, April 25th to pause to give life in a donate live flag raising ceremony. This event occurs annually during National Donate Life Month and is intended to educate the community about the need for registered organ, tissue and eye donors. I know there have been misconceptions about if you sign up for organ donation that they'll just do that instead of actually trying to save your lives. That's not the case at all. Our goal is to always provide the best care we can and to save all the patients that we can. Unfortunately, there are times that we can't do that. And it's during those times that with certain qualifications that these patients can become organ donors. Even if you don't qualify for organ donation, there are tissue and cornea donations as well. And the tissue could be even if you've hurt your knee and you needed some type of transplant as far as bone or something like that.  One organ donor can save up to eight lives and enhance over 75 lives through tissue donation. To know that someone gave that selfless gift, to know that that's what they wanted and even though something unforeseen happened to them, they've given themselves the ability to maybe help someone else. Our staff really are emotionally connected to those who are donating, working with their families closely and supporting them through this very difficult time that they're in. And I actually had the opportunity as a nurse to take care of someone who had a donation, which was very exciting because they actually got that new lease on life and to see them excel and do better to go home. So I think no matter the age, when you've received this special gift, it's an amazing thing and whether you're young or old, you get to see your children or your grandchildren. So it's an amazing thing. For more information and to register as an organ donor, go to donatelifeky.org. Reporting for Mountaintop News, I'm Brianna Robinson.


I decided to follow through with my gut on being a mechanic and an apprenticeship right out of high school. This apprenticeship has really set me up for success as in I have a very large goal to follow and it's always rewarding completing a part of that goal every year for the four years that you're in it. No matter where I go or what I do, I will have this ticket under my belt that can always get me a job and secure me a job.


Hello everyone, welcome to another video. So, I put up a video last night about Simon Cowell and his love for dogs.  He opposes Eul and Dogmeat Festival because of this. And he was in an interview recently where he said he still eats fish and I was like, well that's not vegan obviously. And upon uploading the video, someone else made me aware that Simon is actually not just eating fish.  So let's just look at this article here by The Daily Mail, The Mail Online. Me and The Daily Mail have got some history there, but let's just read through anyway. Simon Cowell has ditched his strict vegan diet and is treating himself to meat and chocolate again as he recovers from a broken back. Very interesting, strict vegan diet. So, obviously Simon wasn't a vegan, he was just eating a plant-based diet. Strict!  I think maybe because he was on some type of health kick, that's why it was strict. But obviously veganism in and of itself is not strict. Veganism's a philosophy against the exploitation of animals so you can eat vegan junk food. Hello? So let's just get into the article and see what it says here. Despite Simon Cowell being banned from all dangerous hobbies by girlfriend Lauren, after breaking his back in a freak accident on an electric bike, he's been allowed to eat meat and dairy again. He's been allowed? What he? He's been allowed to eat meat and dairy again? What are you talking about? Like, oh, maybe it's because he had a health scare and he was eating predominantly plant-based for his health. So this is what I mean, he's been allowed. Like, if you're an actual vegan, like, I'm allowed to eat meat and dairy whenever I want. I don't want to. I don't want to because it's abusive and cruel and there's other stuff to eat. Like, anyways, Simon at 60 went vegan after a health scare in 2017, he didn't go vegan. He just started eating more plants. Consequently, losing four stones in the process, but his latest dilemma has seen him revert to meat as well as chocolate. You mean revert to flesh of suffered animals and the, you know, chocolate, which is 100% made of dairy. Dairy being one of the most abusive and cruel industries on earth. According to the Mirror, a source said Lauren has been up to the hospital to drop a few things off once each day. She has been making his favorite Italian bean soup. Oh, Italian bean soup can be made vegan. So that might be all right there, old Simon and his also cottage pie with turkey, which he loves. So, okay, Simon, you're vehemently against the dog meat trade.  Now, do I have to remind everyone about Serge's Exposé here and do I have to remind the Daily Mail that they actually uploaded it here to their YouTube channel here? Daily Mail here? Let's just go through it, shall we? 2018 UK turkey farm. So very recent. Look at this. Look at these animals here.  Now, I don't understand how someone could be against the dog meat trade because of cruelty though. All right. When you also support the exact same or even worse cruelty by eating your bloody chicken cottage pie. Now, I found out this article after I recorded and did the research for the previous video. So this is all new to me. I didn't know he went back to eating all animals. I just thought he was this plant-based guy who also ate fish, which is still horrifically cruel. You know, this has just opened up another gateway of like just callousness. Look at this. Like if Simon has the means to find out about the cruelty in the dog meat trade, then you'd have to be living under a rock not to know about the cruelty in UK's meat industry. And you know, to be an animal advocate like he is advocating for dog, you have a responsibility to find out what's going on in these farms that you support. But anyways, let's go back to this article here because look, Simon has broken his back in a freak accident, which is horrible. I don't want to see Simon be hurt. I think his dot upon doctors orders. He's been told to treat himself. Here's a quote here. His diet is incredibly healthy, but there's nothing better than traditional English comfort foods and treats when you're on the mend. So the problem I have with this is obviously I have compassion for Simon breaking his back. That's horrible. I've been I've been run over by a car myself, but he's injured himself horrifically and now to get on the mend to treat himself.  You know what I mean? Like you're in pain. You're suffering.  Simon in May, Simon revealed that he'd lost a total of 60 pounds since he went on a lifestyle overhaul and adopted a health conscious diet. Okay. So you either went vegan or you were adopted a health conscious diet. Those things are mutually exclusive. They are not the same thing. You can be a junk food vegan and not and be against the exploitation and harm of animals. Okay. So Britain's talent got talent judge spoke to Terry Seymour on extra and said, I think I have dropped since I started this diet a year ago 60 pounds. Yeah. You know, you can lose 60 pounds eating flesh. You know what I mean? Like you just got to restrict your calories a bit. You know, I'm just, it's just veganism has got nothing to do with weight loss. It's about the animal Holocaust and opposing that it's nothing to do with weight loss. Nothing to do with health. It's an ethical position. So this, this, this message that's going out to the mainstream is just completely confusing. Okay. So Simon admitted he has found sticking to a healthy routine easier during lockdown, except for when his son Eric six wants to order a pizza.  I don't know where there's like a million vegan pizza options, which I don't just understand. You can get an Uber eats and order vegan stuff. It's just it's so easy these days. He said, I'm doing a bit of cooking. I'm exercising funny enough more during this time as well sticking to the diet. Uh, okay. So you're sticking to a diet. The only difficult thing is when Eric orders a pizza. That's the number one thing I miss. We'll order a vegan pizza. This is what I mean. If you're going to like this is if you're going to do a healthy vegan plant based diet, good on your more power to your whole foods, plant based for the win. But if you want a pizza, eat a vegan pizza with a lot of vegan cheese on that nice junkie food pizza and don't go back to abusing animals like, okay. So he underwent six hours of surgery to insert a metal, metal rod into his spine. Sorry to hear that, Simon. But you know what, mate? What about what these animals have to endure here? I mean, these animals won't make it out alive. You're getting a proper care. What are these animals getting? They're suffering for your bloody turkey cottage pie where you can get soya mints and lentils and stuff like that. You know, like, so my compassion for Simon is dwindling a little bit if he doesn't know about this.  Daily Mao shouldn't be, you know, here it is. Here it is. Surge activism. Expose A. Daily Mao uploaded it. And now you're promoting his turkey cottage pie without saying anything. It's just nonsense.  Do I have to remind you, like, surge are doing some great exposés here along with other animal rights groups, but I'm just going to stick with the surge routine here. You know, look at this stuff. This is UK dairy. This is the suffering you're causing. You've got a broken back, which I, you know, I empathize with. But look what happens to these dairy cows that they get put in this rack here. It's called a carol crush being kicked in the face.  You know, I'm sure this isn't happening to you while you're recovering from your back injury, but it's definitely happening to the cows because their dairy is being used to make the chocolate that you're consuming to recover from your back injury, which is pure selfishness. Look at this. Calf's been taken away. Look at this stuff. Calf's been taken away from mothers dragged out by their feet. Newborns. Simon's got kids. I wonder if he empathizes with mothers losing their calves. I don't know. I don't know. These celebrities, they, there are a lot of good celebrities. Don't get me wrong. Wacking Phoenix. There's, well, he's just stands out to me as one of the biggest stars. They got Rooney Mara, Kat Von D, Miley Cyrus, like these ones that they're speaking out against the, the unethical treatment of animals, which is great. Look at this. There's a baby's being dragged away from their mothers. How's this for a start, Simon? Nine, 90,000 male dairy calves shot. And you know who originally the funny thing is if you go, if I type in daily male dairy calves, right, the hypocrisy of the daily male, like this, this should just, this should basically video should be about the daily male more because look at this.  Viewers outrage over harrowing sea scenes of day old calves being lined up and shot dead. So daily male, you're promoting his consumption of chocolate. Oh, Simon's consuming chocolate. Now you've made an article here explaining how more than 90,000 male dairy calves are shot at birth every year. All right. You made this article. You made this. You didn't say anything about that here. When you're saying, oh, he's being allowed to eat meat and dairy again. You have a thing to go. Oh, you know what? The dairy industry is actually, I got to get rid of this watch and it keeps jumping in when I'm halfway through a sentence series. Shush. Now what I was saying is like, you didn't think to like mention the number of articles that you've written on the dairy industry being completely cruel. Huh?  He's eating dairy again. He's broken his back. Poor Simon, poor Simon. Okay. Yeah. Poor Simon. What about the dairy cows that you have written multiple articles about? You've even uploaded videos of animal ethics onto YouTube channel. So you was obviously, you just sent it for a story. Obviously. Like, look at this. Cars being shot in the head. Look at it. Look at it. You've made articles about it. Like, oh God. Anyways, that's all I got to say. I made a video. If you want to see the other video, I'm talking about Simon Cowell's work for the dog meat trade, but he's eating fish. Didn't see this article till now. Simon, I hope you get on the mend and I hope you also start thinking about the animals that you're paying for to be in just as much pain or even more. Actually, way more pain than you are in now. You're paying for animals to suffer horrific lives. You think you're living in the UK. It's going to be some humane fairy tale standard, but we're exposing the UK all the time. I mean, you've got the access of the internet. You're in the know when it comes to animals, mate. Like, it's at the drop of a fingertip. You can just look this stuff up. You're paying for animals in the dairy industry to suffer.   I don't know what other animal products you're eating, probably pigs as well who are gas chambered here in the UK. 86% of pigs are gas chambered here in the UK, which is a horrible, horrible way to go. And, you know, my sympathy is dwindling for Simon because if you expect compassion and empathy for your injury, the least you can do is not cause that same type of pain and suffering to others. More innocent, more vulnerable than you. They need our defense. You talk about this all the time when it comes to the dog meat trade, but you've got a massive double standard there because you're paying for the same cruelty you claim to be against. All right, guys, leave your comments down below. What do you think of this? Come on, Simon. Hopefully he snaps out of it, wakes up to the ethics and becomes a good activist for animals. But, I know sometimes you've got to be a bit harder on people who are in the limelight. I don't know, just promoting animal cruelty to like millions of people. This is why it upsets me a bit because like these people have influence. They have influence and they're influencing people to abuse animals, unfortunately.

And I actually came here early and I didn't have one. So I don't, I didn't know what to do. Let me try, let me try to take the picture right now and see. Let's see what happens. Or let me do it, let me do it. All right, thank you guys. Have a good one. Now, let's get into it. What you guys all been waiting for, baby. I've been waiting two videos for this, one video and now you're at the end of this video. So huge shout out to you for sticking around and staying down. And guess what? If anybody asks any details about anything, it's going to be in the video. So say the details are in the video. Just make them watch it, baby. That's on them. Now, let's get into the details. What we had to do. So for this particular route, they have two parts of one route. And they do it this way because they have a cutoff time for their customers. So I'm going to give you guys a breakdown right now. We had to go to the warehouse at 8 a.m. The first cutoff time for the customers is 8 30. So no more orders can come in after 8 30. So what you're going to do is, you're going to go to the warehouse.   By time 8 35 hit, you are good to go if you do not have any additional orders. But sometimes they do have orders at all. But you have to wait until at least 8 35. You're going to go out there. You're going to get busy. You're going to drop your stuff out. Our first part of our route was 12 orders. So we went out there and did that. Then after that, you have to go back to the warehouse again at 12 p.m. And at 12 p.m., you're going to load your van up again and then give them any returns you have. The cutoff time at 12 p.m. is 12 30 p.m. So at 12 30, if you do not have any additional orders added on to your route, then you are good to go.   Now the pay for all of this, the pay for this is $265. Let me say it again. It's $265. The mileage, we drove about 60 miles and it took us eight hours to do this route.  So you can't just go and get busy. That's it. No, that's not how I go. You have to go there at eight. Do your stuff. Then go back again at 12 and do your stuff. And then if you have any returns, after you are done with the 12 o'clock part, then you have to return those items and your handheld if you are not coming in the next day. Now, how did I find this? I found this on Craigslist. What I went to is Jobs on Craigslist. I typed in my area, went to Jobs, then I typed in Cargo Van Independent Contractor. And I searched to a lot of different things. Most of them were over the road and all that stuff. And I ran across this and on their ad, it says to send them your name, where you live at, and all the details about your van. Like I have 22 and two Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans. So you send them all that stuff. And then they reached back out to me. I had a call and I went up to the bar. So that's how that went. Now, do I like this route? Me personally, it is not for me. $265 for eight hours is way too long. It's just don't mention to me. Me personally, I believe you should get $200 per part of the route. So you should get $200 for the first four hours and then $200 for the second four hours. That's me person. That's what I think, baby. You come up below and let me know what you think. Do you think it's worth $8, $265? Come up below and let me know. Now, the question is, would I do this again? Me personally, I would not do it this exact route. I wouldn't do that again, baby. Because the second part of the route was critical. I'm talking about we got into major traffic, traffic, looking for much major traffic, major traffic on the second part. The first part wasn't bad. It was sweet. The second part, it was major traffic and we had way more tires. One of them was going to have to take 22 tires and another one had to take 13 tires to one place. So all in all, would I do it again? I would do it again if it was closer towards home. So he said that they might have a route opening up closer towards home for us. And if they do, then maybe I might go and get busy or maybe I might not. I won't let them know. Hey, y'all got to pay way more. Y'all going to keep on losing drivers because the pay is way too low for that amount of time in my opinion, baby. I don't know. Comment below and let me know. Also, guess what else? Since you, since you're sticking around, I'll say that I got a little jibberish for you. Look, I'm actually talking to them to see if they have a referral program.  I don't know if they do or not. He said he's going to get back to me. So stay tuned and stick around. I'm trying to get y'all as much as I can, baby. But you got to chill out. I got you. If I can, I got you. If he got me, I got you. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Again, if you are not subscribed, make sure you smash the subscribe button because guess what?

All right, Cyber Traders, welcome on back here this Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday morning, might I say I'm so used to doing the afternoon meetings. I'm tagging in for Fausto this morning. He's just caught up in a business meeting himself, but great to see all of our students and members alike inside our live trading room this Wednesday morning. Bill, Brian, Ray, got Richard, Brad, Michael, where are the ladies out here? Got Margaret joining us here. I saw Leda just before, had Louise just joining us as well, Wendy I saw earlier. So great to have all of us here and good to have all of us back on social media, Facebook Live, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, et cetera, that being as always at Cyber Trading U, just on the bottom left if you're not followed or subscribed to any of our social media streams or platforms and namely YouTube, that's really kind of our host or hub for all of our recordings, all of our streams live each and every weekday. So at Cyber Trading U, but man, we have a lot to talk about this morning. So we'll start with what's on the screen here, Vanny, VA and I ended up making a pretty good pop shortly after eight o'clock. I know that Richard called it out just with the news that came out, but it took a while for this to get going. One of our students, Alex, was actually on the punch right when it started to break out heading into 8.30. So the news that came out at eight o'clock this morning, Richard was on top of that, VA and I looks like a farm of stock, a bunch of words I honestly can't pronounce, some drug in regards to a miniature subdermal implant in development for chronic weight management designed to guarantee medication adherence, blah, blah, blah. Okay, so with that said, it's not that we trade the news, we trade the reaction off the news. So really initially this thing was just garbage. It was a pop and drop went nowhere, right? But thankfully we all are kind of scanning around ourselves, our students, myself, Rich, all throughout the morning. And with that, one of our students, Alex Poe, was like saying, like right at 8.30, 8.33, he said VA and I making a push and it's that type of call out right there that I love to see because it was very timely and no one else was talking about it beforehand. You know, Rich posted the news at 8 o'clock, but no, 32 minutes later, well, he was right on cue with that breakout, led to a phenomenal pop. I ended up jumping in right off of 2.50. So I missed the initial leg here. I thought, oh, maybe there's a chance it could pop and drop again. So I held off on the initial run. I wasn't just jumping into jumping in, but it ended up breaking higher, broke above resistance at 2.50. I have been long out of this trade since. I took about 42, 43 cents on it, got out under three, and then I actually got in again and scalp from 3.50, but only got like eight or nine cents on that. It was chopping around a bit. So I didn't want to stay in this trade as I was doing this meeting. It's already up 305% now at this point and perhaps even more. The thing on this trade that I was hopeful to see, it's already probably there now. Let me just double check on the chart here. Maybe it's a different trade. No, no, no, it is this. Yeah, right here. So it's well above it actually. At this point, right at like 350-ish. You had some good daily chart, weekly chart support dating back to 2022. And then after that, really not a whole lot more to work with. It's just a lot of data, but not as much a consistent level. Looks like here maybe, but that's not up until what, like $14. So that's pretty far away obviously. We're not even thinking about that price yet. So, hey, as of right now, we'll check it on book map. We'll check it on the heat map that we got here. At least I would assume resistance to be at five. Wow, it goes to show. There isn't even as much volume out there. I still would assume resistance to be at five because that's more of a psychological level, half decade level number at this point. So, you know, even without there being much of an order showing there, only about 4,000 shares, I still would respect that as resistance on the initial touch. There's been a pretty good ladder on this trade the whole way through though. So really beginning from here after nine o'clock at 342, popped up briefly later on here, what appears to be 410, 411 price, then a lot furthermore here around 435, 430-ish. Look what just happened. Came right up towards five. Hit a high of like 498 to be exact. Little shake to begin. And a new iceberg on the buy side. So that's that ladder that Fausto and I always talk about in our main curriculum. Our classes, actually, little housekeeping note, keep in mind for all of our gold students and above we have the phase one stock course actually beginning today on a Wednesday, nonetheless. Normally begin on a Monday, but obviously I was out Monday this past Friday. So just gonna begin phase one today, Wednesday. That was sent out through email even dating back from Sunday this past week. So just for all of our gold platinum diamond students, we'll talk a lot more about these concepts, these subtopics like iceberg orders and namely here a ladder. We'll have to see if this 450 ends up holding or we'll see if this was the top. All right, so either way, we're gonna put VA and I on our watch list to start. All right, just that's an easy one just to begin with. All right, quick question. Anyone here trade Bitcoin? Anyone here own Bitcoin? If you're on social media right now, give me a quick chat back as well. If you're in our trading room, just give me a quick chat too. Let me know folks, do you own Bitcoin? And if you don't, what have you been waiting for this whole time? And I'm not just saying since the lows here because I was pessimistic myself here at this point. I was looking for more. I wanted to see a drop down to like 11, 12,000 and then the push ended up getting like 15, 16, but I was thinking long-term. Obviously I'm looking for buying scenarios over time. The more we continue to see higher lows and higher highs. So namely, namely here, this is what I'm gonna mention. It was really dating back to like, last month really right here is that I pulled back. You can go back. I'll rip it myself. I'll pull back trader stock recordings, afternoon meetings, you name it. I'm mentioning 39.5, 39.5, 39.5. It broke a little under that obviously. Well, a little under and over. And here we are now at 60K and above. So folks, hey, I mean, obviously we're gonna see some pullbacks over time, but we are really close to all time highs. And you know, there's a lot more that we can go into with Bitcoin and all that. You don't need to own crypto or Bitcoin to be involved with this obviously. Mara, Riot, CLSK, Coinbase, of course. All of those companies are going to be influenced by this general move here with Bitcoin. All right, you got the ETFs too. We don't really trade the ETFs here at CTO. But wow, look at this. This Vanny trade already over five at this point. So it looks like it's still gonna try and push that ladder and reigning supreme for right now. Let's see, actually to go back at least on VA and I. Holy smokes, this thing. All right, so pushed up even further more up to 560. It did just break through the buy order right here though. So little slingshot to begin, but this is where you gotta be really careful. If you keep seeing lower lows from this point, it's gonna crash bad. Really strong play to begin on Vanny. There's gonna be others out there too. So I don't really care as much about leaving money on the table as long as you're able to get a good piece of the pie from earlier. We'd call this out off 250. So 42, 43 cents for me. I'm still very grateful for that, nevertheless, but yeah, obviously a huge runner right now and on VA and I, but to get back to crypto, to get back to Bitcoin really briefly again. Mara, we've been following this forever, right? They have earnings this afternoon. So I normally wouldn't focus on a company pre earnings when there's earnings coming out just that same day or the following morning. I really don't do that. I more so just kind of follow the reaction after, but I'm gonna give this an exception. We're gonna add Mara to our watch list. It's up to 8% already. That's kind of my selling point there. It's still near the highs. It looks very choppy right now, the last 20, 30, 40 minutes here, but between Mara, between CLSK, I'm gonna add both of those to our watch list once again. Coinbase of course too. Can't add every crypto stock out there. And that's something that we've been talking about for quite a bit here. We can't just trade every single one. Not every one is going to have as much or equal hype. So there are others. We'll just rip through them right now just to kind of cherry pick the best and see. CIFR, and Canon, you got Hutt. It's up 7 plus percent. This one doesn't look too bad. Actually, we'll come back to this one at the end if we need to here. Hive, not really looking that great. BKKT, that's done, that's a bad one. Geez, BTBT, not terrible, a little cheap for my liking here. For these crypto stocks, I want them to kind of be around like five, seven, $10 at least. So Irene, this has actually been one of recent that we've been following. I'll come back to Hutt, I'll come back to Irene at least and see if those are looking better by the end of this meeting. But Mara, CleanSpar, Coinbase, those are kind of our main three horses in that crypto race here with the miners and obviously Coinbase is the main exchange. All right, so top to bottom we go. We already got our big runner here. Things still going I think. Topped off at what price is this? 662. All right, well, again, I don't mind just getting out early because the last thing I want to be a part of is being on the top of the roller coaster, looking on the way down. So going into the open, I would say if anything, typically 910, 915 is the absolute latest I hold pre-market trades. So in terms of that cyber clock, that would be your kind of like last stop here. I would look to definitely get out at least by 910, 915 the time. All right, so what else we got here? IXHL, this thing popped and dropped earlier. I didn't even realize that. It looks like a relatively new IPO dating back to late last year. Pretty good pop I gotta say from like 550 ish up to over 12. I like the range. I really do. Just I'm not really too familiar with the stock and it has a pretty bad order book for right now. So if I'm comparing apples to apples here, Beyond Meat also had a pretty good pop overnight, pretty good range, like similar. This I believe will be a lot more liquid by the time the market opens up. I think that a lot more people are more familiar with Beyond Meat, BYND here. As a company, as a stock, whatever you name it, but hey, again, to any of my meat lovers out there, I'm with you, come on. I'm a red meat guy through and through. I wrote that in the trading room just earlier and I have to say that because there might be a lot of us that look at like Beyond Meat like ew, I don't like this company. I'm not gonna buy it. Yeah, the product personally, hey, to each their own. So I hope I don't offend if anything. But yeah, I'm a red meat guy through and through, but that's not gonna sway me away from Beyond Meat making a 60% move at this point in the morning. It was up over 100% overnight at one point when it hit its peak. I'm gonna absolutely trade this. It's on the top of my personal watch list at least between this and I guess it's now Vanny, VA and I, so, you know, Beyond Meat, I'm definitely gonna put on our watch list here. Looking good. I think that was an earnings play just for those looking to find out on news with that. Now, as we keep going, Bit Brothers, I don't know if this is a Bitcoin stock. BETS is the name, so a figure like gambling, but in the watermark is Bit Brothers, maybe like Bitcoin. I don't know. I don't even care to check. It's up a lot today. It's very choppy though right now. So I'll kind of put it on our list in hopes of this trying to make another big pop, but it doesn't really look as good compared to the others. APLT, I was hopeful to see a breakout on this trade earlier right off of 870 and it just held resistance pretty well like right after I started looking at it. So I was like really kind of, I was like really getting ready to try and take the entry here, the breakout and just held under resistance drop. That's it. So maybe we'll come back to this later on. I'm not gonna add it to our list for right now though. All right, Little Housekeeping Note, otherwise on YouTube social media right now, once again, at CybertradingU, just via Fausto at 12 o'clock today, I believe with an introductory today trading webinar. So again, that will be simulcast across the board, but make sure to follow us if anything on all of our social media streams at CybertradingU as we keep going. TGTX, a little pop right now actually. 1350 up to 16. Actually, you know what, I don't wanna discount that. That's a pretty solid move already. So what's the news out on this company? TGTX, just taking a look at Benzinga Pro here on my other screen. That's as simple as that. Earnings better than expected Q4. So you know what, we're actually familiar with this company. It'll be more of like a level three, category three and above stock, meaning that you're gonna expect to see a more thin book here by the time the market opens and after. It's not gonna really fill in as much. That's my expectation, at least there. But coming off news, good pop right now. Definitely add it. Oh, another Bitcoin stock, of course. This one's just super expensive. So micro strategy, micro sailors gotta be a happy camper with Bitcoin hidden 60K plus, right? All right, so what else we got here otherwise? Anything within our price range looking good otherwise here, IAS on the way down, it is shortable. It's shortable, not breaking all time lows, but you know, for a short really, I'd rather have a more liquid order book. If I'm gonna take the risk of a more thin ill liquid book, it would be for something moving up. I really don't have much skin in the game for a stock that has just like a 10 cents, 15 cents spread and dropping.  It's breaking lower, 3D system. It is shortable for me on trade station. I'm sure the order book actually will fill in a bit on this. I could add this to our main list. Keep it on the side. See if there's anything better. And just kind of skimming through here. Not a whole lot that looks within our price range and has a lot of volume looking at bumble here. ABSI. All right, I'll tell you what folks, not a whole lot like on the way down either way. I mean, the markets have been so strong on the way up. So of course we've already had about like seven or eight stocks on our watch list here so far. We'll go back to the other two crypto miners that we had like Hut and Irene. But last call, let me know if there's anything else looking good from Warren. Warren, great to see you back on YouTube, but normally inside our live trading room. Oh, Warren, there we go in on Bitcoin right now. So he's a happy camper right there. He used the money to buy a burger. Well, hopefully a couple burgers, Warren. Hopefully a nice luxurious dinner, if anything. But nevertheless, folks, if there's any other stocks right now, up, down, left, right, definitely type it in. Let me know. Michael's saying LMND took a hit. Yeah, that goes back to my sentiment. I'm not trying to really trade a stock on a 10 cent spread down big. Just kind of a distraction there. Going back to Hut, going back to Irene. I could add them to our list, right? And if you are interested in the crypto stocks yourself, then you personally put them on your watch list. Because honestly, it's very low risk or zero risk to do that. Both are 100% tradeable. But as far as opportunity cost, most volatile stocks that we could work with, I like what we got here to begin with. So for all of a sudden, social media, Facebook, LiveLington, Twitter, YouTube, just on the top left of the stream is a little QR code. If you're fancy with your phone, fancy with your camera, we'll be back later on today. But if you wanted to join us coming up for the next hour, get full commentary all throughout our live trading room in the morning and afternoon, scan that QR code. Warren knows, though, because he's already a student. So Warren, we look forward to seeing you back inside our live trading room soon. But everyone else, hey, scan that QR code. Join us for a week-long trial. We look forward to seeing you there. But for Michael, Bill, Margaret, Lawrence, and all of us just otherwise, best of luck trading going into the market open. I'll be back on coming up in just about 10, 12, 13 minutes. Take care.


Hello, it's Pookey and Buddy of course as always. Now today's video is a quick one and it's for parents or teachers who are worried about a child who's struggling with anxiety. It's in response to a query from someone who asked what are some simple things that I can do because I'm concerned about my child and I don't know how to help. So I'm gonna just share four really basic ideas. We'll expand on these and explore more in other videos but hopefully this will give you a start of a 10. So the first thing and I say this about everything all the time. The first thing is to listen. Just stop and listen. Let the child, let the young person talk to you. Allow them to explore their story. Allow them to tell you how they're feeling, when and why, how this feels physically, how this feels emotionally, what are the kind of things that are triggering it. Just let them get it out. Let them explore it and just give them a little bit of your time. This isn't a time for you to try and problem-solve or try and fix it. It's just a time for them to get it out and for you both to begin to understand the problem a little bit better. Secondly, you want to begin to encourage your child, the young person you're working with, to question the thoughts and feelings that they're experiencing. So commonly, when we experience anxiety, there may be a reason for it but it might not be a valid reason if that makes sense. So we begin to question these thoughts and these feelings as I come, they come into our mind and they kind of drive our emotional and physical state and we say is this feeling true? Is it accurate? Is the way, the thing I'm worrying about likely to happen. As these thoughts, as these feelings come into their mind they begin to question the validity of them. The next thing you want to do is to take a really practical approach and again listening to them as they talk through maybe a typical day and try and work out within that day what are the trigger points? When are the moments that things that start to go wrong? Which are the moments that cause anxiety or panic to happen? When we can begin to isolate that it's with when you were the certain person, you're in a certain place, it's in the lead up to a certain activity, then we can begin to understand whether these are things that we can do something about, whether we need to be addressing our feelings about them, whether we might avoid them although we have to be careful because sometimes avoiding stuff can make it a kind of loom larger in our mind and we don't address the crux of the issue but some things we might want to avoid it might be that a certain person is a really bad influence on on us or our child and so we might suggest maybe spending less time with that person. So having to think about what are the triggers and what might we be able to do about them even just understanding what those triggers are can really give a bit of a sense of kind of empowerment and boost our self-esteem and confidence somehow and that is a real kind of help when we are trying to yeah boost our confidence and reduce our anxiety. Finally and this is a slightly more long-term approach you can work with the child to think about things that they can do that help them to feel soothed and calm. Now we can't do this at the point at which anxiety is raging because we can't do anything at that point, we are incapable of thinking of anything other than fight, flight, freeze. What we need to do is during a time of calm when we're having a nice time together have a think about what things make me feel good, what are some simple things that I can do that might help me feel calmer during times of anxiety. These might be things like you might explore breathing techniques, some people like to write or to draw or to sing or to listen to music, it really doesn't matter it's absolutely up to you and your child and what works for them. But the important thing is to practice these things to have a go at them when you're feeling okay and calm so then you can put them into place at moments when either you're beginning to feel anxious or you're worried that you might. So going back a step, thinking about our triggers, then we can begin to then put those two things together. So for example, we might have identified that I always feel anxious on a Wednesday afternoon because I know I've got games coming up. So I might have discovered that I can make myself feel calm by doing coloring and listening to my favorite Ed Sheeran album. And so I might decide that every Wednesday lunchtime I'm going to do some coloring and listening to my favorite album in order to help me feel prepared and less anxious ahead of the thing that I'm anxious about that afternoon. So you see how it kind of begins to tie together. And whistle stop tour again, I hope it's a few helpful ideas. I will happily expand share more ideas in another video. Let me know what you want always happy to respond and also still very very neat to this.
