Hi Rodrigo, bom dia, esperta tudo bem. It's great to see some of you. Welcome from Brazil and North Carolina. All right. Welcome everyone. Excellent. Thank you so much. Welcome everyone. We'll go ahead and get started. Good morning, good afternoon and good evening to those of you who are joining from around the world. My name is Daniela Barbosa, and I am the executive director of hyper ledger and the general manager at the Linux Foundation for blockchain health care and identity. I'm very pleased to be the host today of today's hyper ledger in depth webinar with our member consensus. This is part of a three part series educational series for the hyper ledger and the Ethereum community around paving the way for enterprises to take the best parts of the public main net. Today's speakers, we have ease G, who's the co founder of the head engineering of infer and did a live flock, who's the CTO of codify. So I'm very excited, excited and we'll let them introduce themselves in a little bit so welcome. If you are joining us for the first time in one of these webinars, all are welcomed in the hyper ledger community, we do, we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming community for all. So please review our hyper ledger code of conduct, and the basics is be nice to one another be respectful, and let's be helpful and collaborative. We have a couple housekeeping rules as standard with our hyper ledger meetings webinars meetups etc. We do operate under an antitrust policy. So we do have participation by industry competitors. And it is the intention of the Linux Foundation to conduct all these activities in accordance with the antitrust loss. If you have any questions, please visit our website to review. And if during the session you have any questions please message myself or one of the other hosts and we can assist you. Please note that the session is being recorded. So the session will be available afterwards and our webinar library as well as on YouTube. And these slides will be available for download as well with the videos so we look forward for you to view those. If you have any questions just let us know. This is an interactive session so we're going to have EG and DDA are going to do a presentation and talk to you a little bit about the work that they've been doing. But please stay active and get the most of it. Raise your hand if you have a question. We'll get to it during the Q&A part and we'll allow you to do a voice question if you so wish so just go ahead and raise your hand to do that. You can also use the question area and answer section in the zoom webinar just clicking on the button asking your question there and we'll get to those. Or go ahead and ask comments questions etc in the chat. So once again for those of you who just joined us, feel free to say hello and where you're dialing in or zooming in from today. And once again welcome everybody to the webinar. Just as a reminder, you know, Hyperledger is a collaborative and global open source software community we're hosted by the Linux Foundation, and we're really focused on advancing blockchain technologies for businesses, focused on our developer community so once again all are welcomed and we look forward to our discussion.  Today's focus is going to be in on our Ethereum community, which we do have Hyperledger Bezu which is our Java based Ethereum client and EG and DDA are going to talk about some of the other consensus products that are available for enterprises as well. Just a quick history of Ethereum and Hyperledger. The series title of this, the series is called Who Put Peanut Butter in My Jelly. A lot of people are not aware of the partnership and the collaboration of the Hyperledger community and Ethereum since 2016. Consensus was one of the founding members of Hyperledger in December of 2016. And in 2018, when we started working very closely with the Ethereum Enterprise Alliance, as well as the Ethereum Foundation, where they are associate members of Hyperledger as we are of their organizations, and many participation opportunities since 2018 and beyond. In 2019, in August of 2019, we also had a project that was contributed an open source project at the time was called Pantheon and Pegasus and it was contributed to Hyperledger and renamed Hyperledger Bezu. So Hyperledger Bezu once again has been part of the Hyperledger community since August of 2019. And in 2020 Hyperledger Bezu became active status project. And once again, if you go on our website, you can find a lot of this history of Hyperledger and Ethereum. Just as a reminder, you know, as an enterprise Ethereum ecosystem and collaboration. We know that, you know, the Forbes blockchain 50 for example had 21 companies that were using Ethereum and enterprise applications. So adoption continues to rise. Hyperledger Bezu is one of the four main net compatible Ethereum clients that are supporting future hard works. And the Hyperledger Bezu community is very active. If you're interested, please do participate at the end. I'll tell you a little bit about how to go to do that. Hyperledger member companies continue supporting Bezu and other Ethereum technologies and code bases and they continue to grow. And just a quick sampling of some of the Hyperledger Bezu case studies that you can learn more about finality which is the utility settlement coin, lack chain, which is a Latin America consortium built on Bezu for various use cases. There's also post Italian in Italy, which is allowing customers to combine different programs using Hyperledger Bezu and we do have a full Hyperledger member case study about post Italian available on our website, as well as a recently posted one around RTI, which is a supply chain based built by Ledger Leopard, also using Hyperledger Bezu. So, and last but not least, Palm NFT studio a couple weeks ago, Daniel Heyman did a presentation around the palm chain and how they utilize Hyperledger Bezu and Palm NFT studio is behind the Damian Hearst the currency which is a very interesting project, as well as DC Comics and many more. So, lots of activities happening in the Hyperledger community. But for today, we want to focus on easy and DDS presentation. So I will go over and DDA and easy. You want to introduce yourselves and get started. And I'll stop my screen and go ahead. Sure. So DDA Floor, I joined Constancy three years ago. My background was in banking. The first and half year and a half I was focused on enterprise use cases in particular consortium projects and then over the past year and a half been leading technology and engineering of the FinTech product group of Constancy called Codify. Welcome. Yeah, thanks, Daniel. My, my name is Eiji Gulano. I'm one of the co-founders of the Infura project that's been part of consensus since 2016. I've been working solely on that project since I joined the Ethereum space at the same time. My background is in scalable web systems, distributed systems, cloud engineering. I spent most of my early career at a startup called Gaikai that's now part of the Sony PlayStation group. I wanted to focus on similar things, back end and reliability. And so when I entered the Ethereum space, working on the project that could quickly scale developer access to Ethereum was kind of what I was passionate about. And that's what I'm still working on today. Wonderful. Oh, welcome. Didier, over to you. Let me share the presentation. So today we're talking about enterprise adoption of Ethereum mainnet. And actually I want to broaden straight away and mention not just Ethereum mainnet but potentially other public Ethereum infrastructure that exists today. So as we know and is now notorious Ethereum as broad adoption, both in enterprise and in crypto. There are the largest community of developers and the largest user base, essentially in blockchain ecosystems. There's been a few years ago, most projects were running on most enterprise projects were running on private infrastructure or permission infrastructure. So networks deployed by enterprises, but more and more we see enterprises including large financial institutions using public infrastructure to run some of their use cases. Most famously, over the past two years, the likes of Santander, Subgen and others have issued bonds or other digital assets on Ethereum mainnet, for example. One major trend that has accelerated the adoption of public infrastructure is also the fact that beyond Ethereum mainnet. There are now many other venues that are public networks that can be used to issue assets. So some of them are public side chains like Polygon and Xdai. And others are layer two technologies that derive their security from from layer one, and are usually roll up roll ups, like optimism and arbitration. We'll talk about it a little bit in this presentation. So what are the key advantages for an enterprise to use public infrastructure? Let's say historically, we've noticed that the cost of ownership and the go through the speed to market are much reduced in the case of public infrastructure because you don't need to worry about deploying specific networks. You can use existing infrastructure that is immediately and readily available. Another huge aspect is immutability on JVT. So, you know, there's been many cases of enterprise starting with small networks of four nodes, and then wanting to scale. And sometimes they find themselves in a situation where they have to migrate from one particular private network to another, in order to achieve that no such problem if you use public infrastructure. And boom, obviously, a big advantage is the connection with ecosystem applications on public infrastructure, so in particular decentralized finance. It might seem far fetched as of today, but as we saw with Sogzhen collaborating with a DeFi protocol called MakerDAO, things are changing and we might see more and more collaboration between DeFi protocols and enterprise institutions. Some of the concerns that originally existed around energy efficiency, scalability, and privacy are gradually being solved, in particular with those layer two venues and public infrastructure that are emerging this year, mostly. And we'll talk about it a little bit as well. So, coming back to the advantages we mentioned above. So if you think of your typical private blockchain journey or DLT journey, it has quite a lot of steps.  And you still have to deploy the infrastructure, but there are ways to do it relatively simply and the question, the challenge there is that it's your network. How do you ensure that you broaden the ecosystem and you manage to invite other people to that network if you want to scale. That creates some potentially some challenges. And the other scenario is a scenario where multiple enterprises come together, form a consortium. I want to launch a dedicated network for a particular use case. And experience shows that there are challenges around governance, around legal challenges, onboarding, and a lot of small frictions to adoption of those private networks. There's also the fact that the cost of the infrastructure is also has to be essentially borne by the members of the consortium or the owner of the network. In the case of public infrastructure, it's much more simple from the perspective that the ecosystem and the network is open. So there's much less frictions around onboarding, adoption, governance, because things operate in a public ecosystem.  And you do have, and that's the main tradeoff is you replace a cost of infrastructure by a different cost of usage of the network via gas that needs to be paid in the native cryptocurrency of the network. But as we will see in this presentation, even this problem is gradually getting somewhat solved. It's a similar message here with a lot more steps in the case of, if you really want to scale a private network, there are many more scales, more responsibilities for in particular the parties hosting the network. They are obviously and we provide blockchain as a service, for example, for private network via current blockchain service, which simplifies greatly. Some of those challenges, but still you still have a cost of infrastructure, you still have the questions around adoption governance and onboarding. In the case of public infrastructure really the key, the key additional questions are coming back to gas, having to pay gas and if some of the volatility in the price obviously we're going to talk about it and compliance, but any of those challenges are gradually being addressed. So what are the key use cases that we've seen on on public blockchain. Many, like I mentioned large financial institutions have run issuance of bonds or notes or other securities on on mainnet. And, you know, they give, they obviously have, there's a lot of benefit from it because once the asset is deployed on, on, on mainnet there are other things you can do with it. And that's the particular what happened between Societe Generale recently and MakerDAO, with the essentially the funding of a bond that had been issued by Societe Generale some time ago on Ethereum mainnet. It increases the connection of the use case and assets that are created with the rest of the ecosystem. There are other pieces of infrastructure that you, that you need beyond the chain so potentially oracers, potentially in some cases, cross-chain, some form of cross-chain interoperability, particularly in use cases that involved both digital assets like a security and a stable core in our IDC that might be deployed on a different network. Like I said, composability is a very important benefit. I mean today there are very few, very few people who are experimenting with decentralized finance in enterprise or in financial institutions, but it's changing in particular with some announcements around, you know, in particular Ave or Maker again like I mentioned. And I think more and more we'll see more use cases and more collaboration between protocols in the ecosystem and enterprises. Some of the concern that existed before, I mean one of them certainly one of the most famous actually is energy efficiency. However, this is being solved in multiple ways. So first of all, Ethereum mainnet used to run on is still running on proof of work consensus algorithm which is fairly that consumes quite a lot of energy because it's predicated on solving cryptographic problems, which is and which is obviously necessitates a lot of electricity. Having said that next year, next year, Ethereum will transit from proof of work to proof of state this transition has actually already started. A year ago, proof of state chain was launched. And next year, those the existing Ethereum mainnet will merge with this proof of state chain and will create a much more energy efficient than your own mechanism for Ethereum to continue to run on mainnet. Beyond that, as I mentioned, they are side chains, roll ups, so layer two solutions that derive their security from from mainnet that are emerging and those technologies are very energy efficient and very scalable. This represents what's going to happen. What has already started and is going to continue to happen next year. Like I mentioned, the beacon chain was launched a year ago. It's a proof of state chain that is very energy efficient. We're still on proof of work in Ethereum one, the world's Q2 next year, the merge will happen, which will transit. Ethereum one essentially to a proof of state consensus. And then from there, more, more scalability solution will be layered on to further increase the scalability of Ethereum in an energy efficient way. So, adoption of the beacon chain has been significant. There's a lot of ether a state into the network to guarantee security. So this is all going very well. And the, the merges plan for Q2 so far. Beyond that, like I mentioned, a theorem to we provide additional scalability, but then there's already many solutions layer twos and side chains that have been deployed. Some of which are deriving their security from mainnet roll ups that have that have a large factor of improvements of scalability. And they are essentially two types, if you simplify, mostly. So they are optimistic roll ups that are based on fraud proofs. So essentially you have an opera. So the general principle of roll ups is that the execution layer is externalized execution of transaction and computation to an operator of the roll up. And this execution takes place off layer one. And then the transaction data and state transitions are reported back to main to layer one after execution. And there are two mechanisms, either it's based on fraud proof. So if nobody contest the validity of this transaction, then they get they are fully finalized. And the alternative is proof of validity proof using zero knowledge technology, where you can really verify via zero knowledge proof on mainnet, the validity of transactions. This is more on the same topic. So, and one interesting thing here is that you might have heard also of some initiatives that around enterprises making use of zero knowledge technology to you for enterprise to use mainnet so in particular the baseline initiatives that involved EY and Microsoft. And there are more initiatives in that regard. So how do you build on mainnet what are the differences what tooling do you need. We have a stack that enable a lot that enable makes it easy to build on mainnet, it also makes it easy to build on private network but we focus on mainnet for for today or public infrastructure. And codify so the feedback for a group of content sees provide a set of middlewares and modules that enable various use cases from business process automation with workflow to issuance of digital assets and managing their lifecycle using codify sets and issuing stable coins or CBDCs or E-money using codify payments. I also mentioned codify compliance, because it's a way to scan a theorem addresses to identify any financial crime compliance risk. And also codify orchestrate that is the middleware that abstract the complexity of blockchain transaction. So now I'll leave it to EG we can explain the role of in-fiora in that process and how in-fiora also provides solutions to solve other problems that we have mentioned earlier in this presentation. Thanks, Lydia. Yeah, if you look at the stack where in-fiora sits is what we labeled the blockchain network, we're much closer to the protocol and the lower level details of how your application will interact with the blockchain that you're building your app on. And the layers that codify builds sit on top of some of the services that we provide. So here's a list. If you're building on something like a private permission chain, you might choose to build on top of Quorum. And within consensus we have the Quorum blockchain service that provides managed blockchain nodes that support the Quorum protocol. And if you're already targeting a public mainnet deployment, we provide the Ethereum API and that's been our core API that we've offered since 2016. What this means is that instead of having to run that infrastructure yourselves internally, you'll be able to utilize our API as an always on, always available up to date API endpoint that's identical to what you would have if you ran your own infrastructure. And that was the core concept that we used when we started the in-fiora product was we wanted developers to be able to build on top of Ethereum as quickly as possible. Whether or not they had experience with like the DevOps skill set that is required to run blockchain infrastructure, a blockchain node or the node software is fairly complex. It has the consensus layers. It has an RPC API server. It has a storage system that needs to scale with the throughput of the transactions on the network and knowing how to provision that infrastructure so it's not something that requires a lot of maintenance was something that we wanted to save teams from. So by offering the Ethereum API as a service, that was kind of a new paradigm at the time when most people were saying you had to run your own blockchain node to participate. And the reason that we kept the API compatible rather than build a proprietary API which there were many that were starting to pop up at the time was because we really feel like the interoperability and openness of the protocol is one of the huge advantages of this that we have, we've built a decentralized network. And if we're providing a traditional centralized service, it's important that people aren't locked into just using our service and our infrastructure versus running their own. And so whether you choose to run a portion of your infrastructure and utilize in Fira for any overflow so that you don't have any issues with scaling or you want to go the other way around and using Fira and still have your own nodes running inside of your own infrastructure in various areas, you can switch seamlessly between the two and that was one of the things that we continue to use as a way to shape like how we present products to our users. And so now to the right, you'll see some of the other networks that we've started to support over the last few years. The polygon network which did I mentioned earlier, the palm network, optimism, the consensus rollups or the sumo project, the IPFS API and Filecoin. If you're not familiar with the two on on the far side can explain this a little bit. I'll start with polygon, though, where, like today was saying polygon offers a EVM compatible so Ethereum tooling compatible commit chain, which allows people to deploy applications with utilizing EVM tooling, utilizing tooling that they're familiar with like in Fira and truffle diligence, things like that, and having the benefit of already supporting proof of stake, which now provides a high transaction benefit, the energy efficiency that a lot of people desire with proof of stake, and also more stable fees that I'll explain more about on the next slides. POM is another offering that we started to support at the at the end of spring of this year, which is focused on providing an NFT platform that's now powering things like the DC Comics launch launch that just happened this week. And then we have the rollup solutions, we're actually missing one from from this I just know this which is the arbitram optimistic rollup solution so we support both the optimism and arbitram optimistic rollups, which are another Ethereum native scaling solution, or layer two. I believe one of the next webinars is going to cover all of our layer two using detail. And then lastly the IPFS and file coin ones are focused on storage, it gets expensive to store data on the public blockchain. And the ideal when people were talking about and designing Ethereum was that we would be able to tie into a decentralized storage network, and the protocol labs team which developed the IPFS protocol and the file coin project are offering a solution for that which is a decentralized storage network that can be tied into Ethereum. All right, next slide please today. All right, so I'm going to talk about the transaction fees and how that will impact your migration and deployment to mainnet and how did that would happen in the context of this product that we provide which is in fear of transactions or itx. So, the, the difference one of the big differences with dealing with a public blockchain is now you're going to have to deal with the gas fee market. Ethereum has been described as a crypto fuel. It's not just a straight digital currency it's a crypto fuel that powers interactions on this virtual machine that allows you to execute smart contracts. That is paying for compute on a distributed network. And to do that, the concept that that was put into Ethereum was this concept of a gas fee that you have to pay for every interaction with a contract. And the fee market is a way to prevent denial of service attacks on the network and every interaction that you might have on the network whether it's a simple value transfer transaction purchasing an NFT interacting with a smart contract powered game is going to have some cost associated with it when it comes to a transaction that gets sent to the network. And when you're deploying on private your fees are pretty stable you're operating costs of running an application on the private network can be pretty stable, or at least predictable based on the growth of that transaction volume. When you're dealing with a public blockchain, I've I've shared these three graphs from ether scan, which is great resource for taking a look at the current transaction activity and analytics of the blockchain from day to day. And on the left you'll see the transaction volume over roughly the last year and a half, and how steadily that grows. And then you look at in the middle, the average gas price. So what is the gas price that the user would have to set to get their transaction included in a block and that's denoted in the way or gig away. It's, I won't get into the details of how to calculate way pricing just roll with me here. The, it's associated with the daily price of ether as well, because that way is like a very small denomination of ether. And because that may vary day to day and the price of ether may vary day to day. From Monday through Friday, your application may have wildly different costs of operation because of because of how the these three variables can change over time. Next slide please. So, so this is the main thing to that you'll have to deal with when you start deploying your application to a public network is the fee market. It's up to you to entice the minor to include your transaction in the next block that there is no centralized entity that's controlling which transactions get included. And that's for both like privacy and security, but nobody can be censored. If you can entice a minor to include your transaction and the way that you entice your minor to include the transaction is by setting your fee appropriately based on the current fee market. There are some great resources. Ether scan that I already mentioned has it right on their front page of this is what the current gas price is that you should set. There's another one called each gas station that provides another API that can tell you this is the historical trend of gas prices and what you need to do to set your fee so that you're at the bottom of this funnel able to get your fee out and not stuck at the top of this funnel where your fee was set too low that you're constantly being priced out. Next slide please. That used to be our simple graphic to explain how fees worked on Ethereum. If you follow the Ethereum space and the developments in the Ethereum space. There was a hard fork called the London hard fork which introduced a fee market change called EIP 1559. And on the right, it roughly goes over what changed there. We don't need to go into too much detail. But the goal of the IP 1559 was to make it easier for people to understand how to incentivize a minor to include their transaction in the network where a tip can be sent specifically to a minor. And there's always a base fee for the transaction or the contract invocation. That way people can better estimate the costs of their transactions and if you look at the impact that that had over the gas markets over the last couple of months. It really did a great job of adding some predictability and stability to the to the fee market. Next slide please. So what happens when the funnel gets filled up when the transaction keys on this network fill up is that transactions get dropped. So you can see those three envelopes that we have showing you know these transactions are getting dropped from the queue. This isn't in furious queue. If you're running your own infrastructure that's not your queue. This key that we're talking about is the global transaction pool. And the way to that that works out like a technical level is every single node on the network dedicates a portion of its memory to storing a certain number of transactions and there's a limit to that. And regardless of you know how how many optimizations the core developers made to the throughput of the network that queue will remain limited by the amount of memory that's available to store these transactions. So if there's a large spike in transaction volume this queue is going to fill up and the lower price transactions are going to get priced out and they may get dropped. And what happens when a transaction gets dropped is it breaks the delivery chain. So if you look on the right, every transaction on on the network that comes from your account needs to have a sequential order. So I first send transaction one and then I'll send transactions to through 99 and I can't send transaction 99 without sending everything in between first. But what happens when that delivery chain gets broken because maybe I set the gas price to low on the transaction and it creates this gap. Next slide please. What happens is the that queue or specifically your queue could get stuck. So I sent transaction one on the left it was successful I sent the next transaction number two it was successful. And then I figured maybe I would try to optimize my fees and set a lower price on that third transaction, and then it gets dropped. And the reason it gets dropped is because maybe maybe I didn't even do anything maybe I kept my fee the same, but all of a sudden the transaction volume on this public transaction pool went up and my transaction got dropped from the network. And because of that, I need to be rebroadcasting these transactions so that and you know checking where my fee is in relation to other fees on the network to ensure that I can get that third transaction mind. Otherwise transactions for five and six there are going to get stuck. And there have been some pretty notable cases where that's happened and had a significant impact on teams and products that are already live in production on not just at the end but all public blockchains. Next slide please. This Black Thursday event was specifically one that affected the maker ecosystem, where there was an issue where on March 12 of 2020. There was a huge spike in transactions that ended up affecting the maker ecosystem because they had a component that was stuck behind and they had a gap in their, their transactions and couldn't get the interactions to happen on chain within the amount of time and it had a bunch of cascading effects down stream that took a while to recover. So we're continuing to try to get their transactions into. I don't want to get too much into the specifics of maker, but essentially to protect their investments that they had inside of the maker product, and that resulted in kind of like exacerbating the more transactions on the network made the problem worse, not better. And if, if systems are architected a little bit differently, it can help avoid this type of situation. Next slide. Solving these problems is not trivial with a lot of people end up having to build custom infrastructure specific to their use case to be able to solve this issue. Sometimes it's as simple as retrying a transaction and saying if my transaction didn't get mined within a minute, five minutes, 10 minutes, whatever is acceptable to your application, you can retry that transaction. And some people build much more intricate retry mechanisms that look at, you know, the current gas market actual pending transactions on the network and being much more competitive, if not adversarial with how you retry your transactions, especially if you're building a defi trading platform or something where every second matters to get your transaction included into a block as quickly as possible. And so it either requires dedicated infrastructure. There's a lot of issues with the guarantees that can be made. And of course potential loss of funds that CDP example let's know that is the issue that was impacting that maker black Thursday. Next slide please. So what our inferior transaction service provides is a way to, like we offer the way to outsource your Ethereum node infrastructure to outsource the transaction infrastructure, instead of building your own in house relay or to send your transaction. We offer a dedicated API that is able to guarantee transaction delivery and make sure that there are no step transactions in your transaction queue. Next slide please. But the way that our system works is that when instead of having to build that custom retry logic into your application you send us that transaction once, and then our ITX system is responsible for periodically republishing that transaction. So maybe it is getting priced out right now, but when you send us the transaction, you basically put it on a queue of when you need that transaction included whether it's within, you know, the next two or three blocks, the next 10 blocks and the next 100 blocks, like you're basically able to set the priority yourself and we'll do our best to republish it to ensure it gets included within that amount of time. And if there's a fee adjustment that needs to be made, then we're able to make that fee adjustment for you without any interaction on your, on your side or for your customer. Next slide please. Yep. Yeah, so I'll walk you through one example use case of how that could work and why that could be beneficial. Next slide. We have this concept called sponsored transaction infrastructure that we've helped a couple of teams implement on top of ITX. This is not something that you need ITX to build you can 100% build this in-house yourself. What we were trying to do was level the playing field because at these times when we were seeing that more sophisticated and better educated users on the mechanisms required with the gas fee market were able to out-compete newer entrants into the space when it came to like DeFi trading in particular that these specific groups were able to build this custom infrastructure to monitor the pending transaction pool and rebroadcast their transactions and get their transactions included because they had this custom relayer. By us having this custom relayer it allowed people to build similar systems without having to have all of that prior knowledge. And the sponsored transactions example is one of the things that came up is how can a user say swap tokens if they don't have ether. Meaning yes ether is a token but the tokens I'm referring to here specifically the ERC 20 tokens. Matic which is the polygon token is an ERC 20. So say you had 10 Matic in your Ethereum wallet and you wanted to transfer it to another service or sorry, another account. You would need to first transfer ether to that account that held the Matic tokens and then you would be able to use that ether as gas or transaction fuel to get your Matic out of that account and into another one. By having a relayer infrastructure, you're actually able to do what's called a meta transaction or a gas list transaction, something that allows you to transfer these ERC 20 tokens where somebody else pays for the transaction fee on your behalf. And that's like the core principle that's enabled through having a relayer is you can build a system that can pay for transaction fees on behalf of the user. Next slide please. And so once the system was built, you can set a different fee schedule where that intermediary that is sponsoring the transaction on behalf of the user can receive a payment in the ERC 20 token itself for the fee. And that fee is set based on how fast they want the transaction included, whether it's very quickly, meaning under 10 blocks or slowly like it says here, which is a couple of hundred blocks, that fee can vary and that person who's sponsoring the transaction can take a higher or lower fee. If I had 10 Matic tokens, and I wanted it involved, included quickly, I can try to send this transaction. The person that built this sponsored transaction application can take a cut of the actual transfer or swap. I never had to have ether in my account to make that happen. It just gets deducted from my Matic token balance to be able to pay for the actual transaction fee. I think that was it for this next slide. Yeah, so, so thank you very much. I hope that provides some clarity on what inferior transactions provides and the different things that we provide it in fear and consensus. And I think we are opening it up now for the Q&A. Great. Wonderful. And as a reminder everyone, you can ask your questions in three different ways. Number one, if you want to do a voice, if you want to ask your questions via voice please raise your hand use the raise hand feature in zoom. And we'll go ahead and permission you to speak and it'll be great to hear your voice and say hello. Number two is feel free to drop some questions into the question and answer tool. Just click on that ask your question and we'll get to those. And we will read the ones that are there already because there are some people on the live stream and then in the recording that won't see the Q&A section so we'll do those on voice. And last but not least if there's any questions you can also just drop them straight into the chat feature and we can get them going. So, there was a question that was answered in the Q&A, Marta Pekarska actually asked a question around, how does info choose the layer to that's going to be used or is that the responsibility of the user. Did you you did put some answers in there but perhaps you can elaborate on that as well. I think I mean whoever deploys the application and is the is the owner of the insurance account. Ultimately will configure the application to use particular insurance points that correspond to a particular venue. So, it's the responsibility of user use the user as in the intro user, not the end user of the application. Right. There's another question also from Marta, perhaps Didier you can read that one off if you would like to answer it. Yes, so maybe this one is for EG. Does ATX help with things like to low sleep age set in case of events like LBPs where a user sets a price to X but by the time the transaction shows up in the queue, the price changes by X plus 10% or when gas randomly jumps. So that's not something that we do currently, because it requires some introspection into the that specific trade to understand the slippage and be able to cancel the transaction. That being said it is something that a few other groups have started integrating ITX have currently built themselves, and have asked us if it's something that we can integrate into our systems, which would be a way to cancel the transaction if we see that it's no longer going to be successful.  So once you have a transaction in that transaction pool there's no guarantees that can be made though because a miner can always decide they're still going to include that transaction regardless of if there's one with a higher fee. But it is something that we can at least try to help users with but no not something we support. Wonderful. Martin that answer your question. Anybody else have any questions. Once again, just put them in the chat or raise your hand and we will get to you. One of the questions I have you know in particular EG you had on your slide specific to palm as one of the side chains that uses hyperledger basu and kind of to the to the question of how do you how do you choose specific to the hyperledger community and hyperledger basu do you have any any other examples or summary of why someone should be looking at hyperledger basu specifically. Yeah. So, historically we we had been running the go Ethereum client because that was the main one that was used at the time that we started and for legacy reasons that's our historical reasons that's just what we've maintained for a large amount of our infrastructure, but we've worked closely with the Basie team are early on the pantheon team sharing requirements of what we were seeing with, you know, the difficulties of running node infrastructure at scale, whether it's slow RPC performance, or issues, sinking clients relatively quickly where it takes, not just days but weeks to sink a new Ethereum client from scratch, and get the full blockchain downloaded. And so I think the Basie team has really been great with working with us to understand what the current issues are with the client, the primary client that we are running and how they could improve on those, especially when it comes to some of these other things that are deployments that have been supported with Basie that have a much faster state growth, whether that's because it's deployed on private or because they're using a POA system to be able to get a higher transaction throughput that it runs into some scaling issues sooner than what the current proof of work Ethereum network does. And so we wanted to work with the Basie team on deploying the POM network support, because we knew that this was going to be a network that would very quickly see, you know, rapid adoption, got some very exciting early projects already lined up and we wanted to make sure that any scaling issues that we would encounter, where things that we could surface and try to get prioritized as quickly as possible and we've had a great time working with with the Basie engineers. Yeah, it's great. Yeah, definitely seeing a lot of activity around the POM network and made me a very cool mom because of the DC Comics NFT drop so I was happy about that because my daughter's like that's this hyper ledger so great, great, great answer. Once again, if anybody has any other additional questions, go ahead and queue them up. I do have a question Didier and EG, you know, specific, you know, when we started this webinar I talked a little bit about the relationship and kind of the collaboration that we've done. And that's what we've had with the Ethereum ecosystem for since the beginning of our project. Maybe you can tell us a bit about where what you see is as different in today's enterprise blockchain conversations that you're having across the different industries, where, yeah, that that's the question like what's different. What kind of questions are you getting from these enterprise businesses that are interested in in the Ethereum ecosystem. Yes, I think, I mean, things change quite a bit in the sense that three, four years ago, people were very much focused on using private networks focused on use cases around mostly around, I would say, you know, cost reduction business process automation and things like that. And over time, digital assets became quite prominent use cases. And I think, as those use cases emerged, the opportunity of using public infrastructure became more evident to some of those enterprises. And also because, like I mentioned, although private networks are great to spin up initial use cases and or potentially highly regulated use cases, it could be another example, like we mentioned USC and finality for example earlier. But in the end, there are lots of frictions around adoption, broadening the ecosystem with with private networks that become much easier when you're on public infrastructure.  So it just makes things more smooth. And I think more and more people see their main net and also tools and sidechains as really good venues for settlement of securities and potentially in some cases securities versus E-money. And we see, I think, more and more experiments, pilots, so live pilots of particularly financial institutions, trying to continue to use main net and even possibly in the case, recent case of Société Générale interacting with some of the DeFi protocols as well. I think it will become more and more the case as regulation clarifies as well. For sure. But these are the main reasons why people explore public networks. We still see a lot of supply chain use cases or focused on provenance use cases, so satisfying provenance of assets in particular that are still deployed on private networks. So we still see a prominent number, a large number of private network use cases, making use of Corm, Hyperledger, Bezu, and ArcCorp blockchain service infrastructure. But I think the trend of using main net is growing. Yeah, well certainly it's a continuum of different hybrid requirements, et cetera, as we continue to see that. Well, thank you. I know there's another question, but we are at the hour. I want to thank EG and DDR for today's session. Once again, this is part of an educational series around, you know, and Ethereum and the public main net. We encourage you to come and view some of our other sessions that are coming in. Once again, you know, Hyperledger Bezu is one of our Hyperledger projects, one of our distributed ledgers. We welcome everyone to come join the Hyperledger Bezu community. If you go on our website, you can get involved to see the wikis, the chats, et cetera. We also have a free online self-paced MOOC that is available via the edX platform that is available for anyone it's free to use you could get a certificate at the end via the website for I believe it's $99 US dollars. But please do take a look at that course. It's off the hyperledger.org training website so as part of our educational series we're going to continue doing project specific and industry specific sessions. Upcoming in November we'll have some project workshops which will be multiple hour workshops specific to Hyperledger Aries and Hyperledger Indy focused on our identity solutions within the Hyperledger project. Also coming up we have an in-depth hour with Ledger Leopard on supply chain traceability. This one is also a Hyperledger Bezu project that Ledger Leopard has put out with RTI. Oliver Rickin will be speaking about their use case and the benefits that their customer RTI has already seen using Hyperledger. And there's a case study on our website that gives you the full details if you want to read in advance of that session. The next Ethereum based education series will be on November 3 at 8 am Pacific time. This one will be on DeFi and DAOs deep dive into unprecedented DeFi growth and Liz Matthew who's the head of strategic sales at Consensus in the US will be joining us for that session so please do register for that session as well. We have a lot of great content across all our projects Hyperledger Fabric, Sawtooth, Bezu, Indy and more via the Global Forum which happened in June and we'll be doing additional sessions as we go through. We are open community so please do get involved. There's many ways that you as an individual or as a company can join us. Please do take a look at some of the resources that we make available and provide any feedback that you have on more content that you'd like to see and more things that you would like to see from us. So once again thank you for watching. We really appreciate your time and your questions. If you have any questions, Didier and EG how do they get in touch with you. By email so EG shared his email and I can share mine as well. You'll put your email address into the chat room. So once again if you have any questions feel free to reach out to EG or Didier. And to myself as well anybody on our team if you send questions to membership at hyperledger.org will get back to you as soon as we can. So once again, thank you for watching and we will see you soon. Thank you.


You need a financial advisor with the freedom to focus on your specific needs. Whatever your goals, Reid Potter can create a game plan tailored to you. Call Reid at 432-0777 at Pikeville, Kentucky to learn more. Smile Faith Appalachia, a non-profit which provides health and dental services, will be hosting a Masquerade Snowball Saturday, November 11th. The ball will feature live music, dinner, a red carpet entrance, and all proceeds will go towards creating retail space in Jenkins. Great Snowball is going to be a fabulous event. There's not been one held in Jenkins in many years. And it's going to be one to remember in this beautiful historical mining supply building. So the ball is going to be fabulous. Red carpet entrance starts at 530. A tire is anything you wear to church all the way up to Gaila apparel. All you got to do to participate in the Masquerade part is to bring a mask. Or we can have some here that'll be on sale as well. Come on in. The dinner starts at 6. Swagtones will begin playing at 8.  Tickets to the ball can be purchased at the door in our $150 per person and $275 per couple. Smile Faith is a very community-based organization. We are a non-profit. And we want to reach out and help the community in any way that God leads us. And one of the ways we felt like is needed at this time is to expand not only with the daycare we're getting ready to open, but also with these mine supply buildings that have been empty for so long down this avenue. And this is the last expandable downtown space in Jenkins. So we want to captivate on it and really make it something that people not just in Jenkins, but Electric County and surrounding areas will want to destination. For more information, go to Smile Faith Appalachia Event Center on Facebook. Reporting for Mountaintop News, I'm Brianna Robinson.


With the all-progressive congress APC governorship candidate for Adamawa State, Aishatou Binani cast her vote expressing confidence in the voting process. The senator cast her vote around 9.20 am at polling unit 006 in Barmua Ward in Yolo South local government area. Feuding questions from journalists, Binani commanded with the manner in which voters' election of officials and security officials conducted themselves. She is asking for the 35% affirmative and Alhamdulillah this time around the men are also giving us much support that is expected from them and as far as election is concerned women virtually constitute the larger position of voters whenever it comes to election so if all the women will come out and cast their vote in my favor certainly we will get there.


Hey everybody, it's Hari Swaminathan from optiontiger.com, they're looking at price action for Friday, August 2nd on the SPX and if you saw the markets opened week and then it went weaker but if you look at it from the open over here, yes there is some little bit of persistent activity over here but it's too close to the open and so you probably don't want to get into the trade. The first trade that looks actually pretty decent is right here but however it doesn't last very long because as you can see you probably could have made a couple of points over there so really you would have been stopped out or you would have come out right there once the customer RSI and the green dots started turning around. The really good trade comes obviously in the middle of the day over here and this was a nice trade so if you waited for the dots which were persistent and then you looked at the customer RSI going into the bearish so that would be around this bar which is a level of about 29, 25, 29, 26 something like that and then you would write this, you can see customer RSI and you won't get shaken out by this one green dot so you would write this all the way and you won't get shaken out by one dot here either but once you see the customer RSI trying to come out you would want to get out so that is around this level over here 29, 19 so that's a 6 point move which is about a 12 to $1400 profit. After that there's no trade because we are in a negative day and it doesn't look very negative but if you just put it in the right perspective we started out weak and then it never really made its way back up there so any of these bullish trades don't count because there seems to be some persistence in this move right here. So if you wanted to go against the grain and take a small trade here keep it very low, keep it you would get in somewhere here and if you normally put 4 to 5 contracts then just put 1 to 2 and if you want to scalp it a little bit for 2 or 3 dots and then come out with the profit don't even wait for the thing to turn because you're going against the grain if you've generated a profit you can just take it but bear in mind this is a B trade it's not an A trade. A trade you want to align it with the market sentiment for the day so in general that would mean that you take put trades only however even during such a day you might get some small opportunities where you could do something on the call side but you have to just keep it very tight and you have to keep it small so that because things can turn and as we know and you can see the ticks are the ticks have been persistently negative all through the day so really taking a call trade at best is a B trade and it's best to actually stay out of it and just wait for the nice put trades to come along and that's how you would use the SPX algo and the custom RSI for Friday's price action August 2nd. Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks. The SPX ticks as well as the custom RSI are custom indicators and algos if you have any questions you can go to this bit.ly link bit.ly slash SPX algo and you can find more information on how to get these indicators. Thank you.


Are we going to tell them what they came here to find out? What? Was this baby planned? Yes, on three. One, two, three. This baby was. But before you dive into this video, I have to give a shout out to the sponsor of this square space. Square space is an all-in-one platform to build a beautiful online presence. It's a new year and the perfect time to remind you that now is the time to bring your next big idea into life. And if you're going to do it big, do it with the sponsor of this video, Squarespace. Build a website, launch an online store, use their mailing list and other marketing tools. Squarespace is the way to go. Now, if you're serious about going and starting this new year off right, I want you to go over to squarespace.com. slash shambudy to get 10% off your first purchase of a website or a domain. Again, that is squarespace.com. slash shambudy to get 10% off of your first purchase of a website or a domain. And if you want to know a little bit more about Squarespace, wait till the end of this video.  Not planned. Not planned. Not planned. A mistake? For sure. Really? I don't think our mistake is heavy. Mistake is heavy. More like a happy accident. Right. It kind of came out of nowhere. We didn't plan it. But we weren't trying to prevent it either. No, we were doing it. We had a conversation where you said, because I've been talking about getting a vasectomy. And you and I had a conversation about it and said, well, let's wait two years without not trying. And if it happens, then we'll be OK with it. And then we know for sure that the vasectomy was a good decision. Was that in the very beginning, as soon as Raiu was born? Not right when you don't remember this conversation. I remember us going to get a passport for Raiu when she was two months old. And me being then like to you, let's just knock this out. I think that's the only time that I remember bringing it up to you. Oh, no, no. I thought we were both one team, one kid, so hot. I did think that. So here's my general timeline. It was like we had Raiu. I loved the line that you gave, right? That we wanted to have a kid because we wanted to share our life with a kid. We never wanted our life to be about kids. That's why you were like team one. And so I was very on board with that. Obviously, I was someone who didn't want kids at all. So one was enough for me. But I've always had the back of my mind. Like what me and my sister have is just so special to not give a kid the chance for that. So I know that you brought that up multiple times. I know that you brought up like being a sibling was the greatest thing this life has given you. And I understand it from that, but I'm a sibling too.  And I am the oldest sibling, which I will take that. I definitely take that role as the oldest sibling as far as like person's giving me advice. And I'm usually the one that's like the shoulder to lean on. And so I'm like, yeah, siblings are a little overrated though. It might be nice to be one child. But that's my experience though. So I was completely OK with one. And I wanted to give everything into that one child. But I do recognize the thing that this world could never take away from Ryu or the other child we haven't picked a name yet is that they're siblings. And they're actually related. And that can't be taken away from them. So I love that idea. And I love that she's going to have. And I love what you and your sister have. So if they can have that, amazing. My mom grew up similarly. Both my parents have like eight siblings.  She is one of one in terms of she doesn't have any full siblings. Everyone's half.  She's not really close with any of them. So when she had kids, she's like they have to be close at age. And they have to be close. So from the time that we could talk, my mom was like, this is your best friend. This is your person. And I remember as we got a little older, she would describe it like, this is your kidney. Like this is your match. So if you have kidney failure, this is where you're going to get your kidney from. Be nice to your kidney. Which is like a funny way of saying it. But my mom was really obsessed and intentional about us being close. So when I hear other people's stories, cause I remember we did a video and somebody wrote in the comment section, like Jared's extremely naive, talking about the siblings are going to be close. Like I'm not close with my siblings at all. Which of course does happen. But I plan to be just as intentional as my mom. And to really reinforce this relationship is something that you just can never replace. And it can just give you so much in this world. So you have to invest in it and you have to believe in it. Yeah, that's the pro of it, right? That's the pro of it. And so, you know, depending on your experience is where you're going to shape your decision from. I was thinking to myself like, if it was going to happen, this had to be the time. You know what I mean? That makes any sense. So that conversation we have, which I don't remember unfortunately, but like, yeah, let's just sort of be a little bit more relaxed about birth control until two years and then we'll decide then that would be logical. That's kind of the stance that we took. So that's even I was mentioning to you this morning that I don't think that our due date is actually reflective of our true due date because I wasn't cycle tracking. So I got my period, I was breastfeeding right up until a year old. So even with breastfeeding, you can still get pregnant. But after about six months, seven months, my period came back and then I got pregnant a year afterwards, which means I was only getting my period four times, three times. And I knew I was somewhat intentional about like, hey, during these, you know, conception windows or ovulation windows, let's use protection or let's abstain or pull out. So, which I'm pulling out is a protection method, not the best one. But nonetheless, I don't remember, this isn't, I think both of us, like if we did have unprotected sex, which I don't remember, it was likely right after my period, but also because I wasn't heavily keeping track. So that's even when I went into the doctor and they base your due date on your last mis-period. And I'm like, I wasn't, you know, really being as diligent as I was, obviously with Raiyou when- Yeah, you don't remember. Yeah, I don't remember. That to be said, like, yeah. So it was like not planned, but I also feel like we weren't just randomly not using protection. That's the thing. I thought in my mind that like, we were going to loosely try, or the term we used was not try. And like saying like, as like, I'm not gonna try to not have a baby. And if it happens in great, maybe this isn't messing up your title, that's why you're fighting it. No. It's not. You don't remember this conversation? I don't remember this conversation. What? This is crazy, yeah. The baby brain really exists, guys. Cause I remember the two month conversation. What's the two month conversation? The one we had at the post office when I was like, Jared, we should start trying right now, which was nuts. I don't remember that conversation. That's nuts. That's way too soon. To your point, why it is perfect timing, cause I Googled afterwards. They say the recommended time to get pregnant again is between, not between, but it is somewhere after either a year or 18 months. Well, what's crazy for me was that we had the conversation that I'm referring to around that two month area. So maybe the same conversation. Yeah, it might be the same. But what I'm saying is that when I say is like, the reason why I wasn't thinking about you getting pregnant towards the end was because we had unprotected sex and it just was fine. Well, I know that if you're breastfeeding, which is a lie, especially for the first- It's a lie. It's a lie. It's a lie. Guys, listen, I got hoodwinked. She told me after she was done, she told me after she had the baby, she was like, well, I'm breastfeeding. It's really hard for me to get pregnant. So we'll be all right. I didn't say really hard. What I said is that it's 60% birth control, which is not that incredible. And on top of that, if your period hasn't come back and you have to be pumping at least, or breastfeeding at least four hours a day. And that's only effective for the first six months. And so when you told me, you probably told me all the facts. So I told you all the facts. You probably did. You probably did.  We're good. I don't have anything to worry for a while. Let me ask you a question. Okay. So what was interesting about this time that we found out I was pregnant? Yeah. So essentially Jared and I were apart from each other for a month. And then when I got back, I started feeling unwell. Yeah. And my brain didn't think pregnancy because I hadn't seen Jared for a month. Again, I don't remember really what my period ended. I also don't remember us having unprinted sex. I know we had sex because obviously I left you for a month. So we probably were having a lot of sex, but I don't remember it not being protected. So I was like, there's no way I'm pregnant. So you were like, let's just get a pregnancy test just in case. So you went and got one, and we got a three pack. And I was not pregnant. Yeah. On the Friday. Yeah. I think this was because I didn't pee on the stick for long enough. I do recall that I didn't pee for the full three seconds cause I didn't have a full bladder, but I peed a little bit. And then I left on the counter. Me and Rai, you went into the shower, we showered. And then I remember cleaning off the fog of the mirror and looking to see what the test results were. And when I saw that it was negative, I was disappointed. Oh, were you really? Yes. Oh, I was like, I was like, you know what it is?  But I'm so excited at the same time, but it's just so daunting. We're just having one right now. You know, it's just like, how are we gonna do this? I have no idea, but. Mine was like a mix. It was a second of like, oh, okay, that's good. And then I was like, Jared, we're not pregnant. I think I called out to you. Yeah.  Which we didn't really think there was a high chance anyways. But I'm glad that that happened because it gave me that moment of revelation to know like, oh, I mean, it obviously didn't work for you. So. What? No, I'm still, I am happy. I know you're happy. I hope this doesn't get, I'm just being real honest about having a second child. But I will say is that I am extremely, extremely grateful and happy because I would have been so upset with myself in the future. If, because let's say Ryu turns five or six, I'm not that excited about starting over. Having another child. And I could see myself being very against it at that time. But now it's like we're in the flow. We're in the mix. And it's just the best case scenario in this situation. Like it couldn't have happened in the other way. Yes. And you know. So then when three days later, which was maybe two days later on the Sunday, I retook another test. Yeah. And then that came back positive. Yeah. What were your thoughts? I was just like, oh, here we go. Here we go. But I was, I was excited. I was excited to tell my family because I knew they would be very, very excited. And also what I thought to myself was like, is this us being irresponsible? I did think that. But only because we were just getting on our feet with one. Yes. And I'm like, dang, like, are we gonna be able to balance two right now?  So my fear was, is this being irresponsible because we're not ready? But I got over that really quickly. Yeah. I think there's definite when I talk to people now, I will say this. The one thing my favorite pro to having a second kid is everybody at the bank, all family members, all friends. I'm not gonna hear Nan from you of like, so when's the second one coming? Like that talk is shut down. That never got to me. I, it didn't get to you? No. Like it didn't get to you personally? No, it never got me angry. It never got to me. Like it never got under my skin is what I'm saying. It gets way under my skin. I can see it. Yeah. It's turning red right now. Right. It's just like that constant, it's called the relationship escalator, right? Like they're all, you're always having to look a step above and you're always having to like strive for another goal.   You've accomplished, yeah. And then people just focus on what's next. Yeah, what's next, what's gonna happen next. So I'm excited for that reason, but in saying that, I hope I don't become one of those moms of like, when are you gonna have the second? No. Because we spent a long time researching about only children and just reflecting on the differences. And I do believe we could have been amazing parents and provided an amazing experience for one kid. I also believe we could have had an amazing life together with no kids. Like we looked at all options. This is an option that we kinda like peeked at, but it's here, so now we gotta look at it. No, I'm here, I'm ready, I'm excited, you know? So, and I think that we're gonna be great. I think that we're in position right now to be great. And I think that the mom that you are is just going to continue to evolve and bring out new sides of you so I can see this second baby making you an even more incredible person and more incredible mom, so. Oh, thank you.  I think the same thing for you. Can I be very honest with you? Hit me. I kinda, I worry about your attachment to baby too. Why? Because with Ryu, you were just so much more involved.  Now you can't because you have to watch Ryu. So I just feel like you were more excited and more involved and more interested. It might be perception. It could be perception. Because I don't know if you remember, it's always really hard for me to connect to the child in your belly. That's why if you see the video of me crying when I had Ryu in my hands because it was physical, it was here, you have a different connection with her because you're literally connected to her. You're literally filling your heartbeat. You're literally giving your own nutrients. You guys are sharing nutrients. You have a, it's, I think it's unfair to compare your connection to my connection. That's fair. Because mine won't start until she's here. I mean, obviously there's the thought of her and like if I feel her kick and stuff like that, like that's a connection that I can feel but it is difficult for fathers, right? You know, because we're connecting to the thought right now. I feel, and to be very honest, I don't necessarily feel the same connection now that I did with Ryu. Because, and I will say that's kind of the difference between a planned and unplanned. With Ryu, I felt sick, but I always had the thing to remind myself of like you worked for this and you wanted this. And we tried really hard to conceive Ryu and we were both really on board with it. So that was almost like that extra thing you could tell yourself. Whereas with this baby, because it was unplanned, I found the sickness a little bit more mentally difficult. And then I feel the connection was a little bit more difficult to create. Cause like you feel like the baby chose it. You're like, you chose this, right? Right. Calm down down there. So I'm making me sick. Yeah, and that could, that's a little bit, it's an honest reflection. I know it'll change as soon as the baby is here.  And then she was like, obviously, cause you're my second kid, right? And like the experience that I have with you and the love and the relationship, it's just different. So don't worry about having it all figured out right now. Don't worry about experiencing all the emotions or worrying or stressing out if you're not like, it will happen and it will come. Yeah, I'm not worried. The internet could be worried, you know? I'm not worried. There's a lot of people who have multiple children. They're like, all right, it's gonna be fine. Three kids? No. No. Not like, no. This is recorded, so. Not no. No. No. We're done. You want three kids? You do? You gotta keep them guessing, babe. I gotta keep you guessing. That's why you stick around. Well, I'm going to get fixed. You might have to get the third one someone else. That's just not going to be me. You'll still love and look after it though. No. No. But like I said in the top of the episode, it's the new year, baby. It's time to get that big idea, big popping.

Iran sent Russia over 100 million rounds of ammo. Iran has provided Russia with about 100 million bullets, 300,000 artillery shells and ammunition for rocket launchers, grenades and mortars, and is planning to send more ammunition Sky News reported, citing a security source. The source said that two Russian cargo ships left the port in Iran in January, transporting the ammunition to Russia via the Caspian Sea and that Russia had paid for the material in cash. Sky News speculated that Russia is using the ammunition to replenish supplies expended during its invasion of Ukraine. The report noted that it was impossible to independently verify the quantity of ammunition that was actually included in the shipments and that one expert said the amount sounded high. Russia has been receiving ammunition from Iran for its invasion of Ukraine, which has helped solidify a military relationship. But now it is expected that Russia will gift Iran military materials. The Jerusalem Post reported that Iran requested S-400 air defense batteries from Russia.


Hey crochet friends, it's Tasha from Start Us Gold Crochet. Welcome to my YouTube channel. Please subscribe if you haven't already. And if you're new here, welcome. Thanks for visiting. I'm hoping you love this tutorial today. It's so much fun. This is a little granny square headband. I have never liked granny squares. I'm just gonna be straight up honest with you. But for some reason lately, because they're just saturating everything, I've kind of like, okay, okay, I can see the, but what it is is I don't like crocheting them. So what I've done is I created a slightly modified version of the granny square. This is kind of like my own version. One that I think is easier to crochet. So what I'm gonna show you today is how to create the granny square.  So two. Let's do two. And we'll make a granny square bracelet. But for the headband, you want to make one, two, three, four, five, six of them. Or this pattern will be on the blog for free. There'll be a PDF available for everybody who wants a PDF. And that'll be in my Infinite Yarniverse shop on Etsy, Ravelry, and all those, you know, the normal shops. I prefer if you buy from the Infinite Yarniverse though, because that's my shop. For all the lifetime members, you guys can get the PDF for this. It'll be in your inbox. Just log into the Infinite Yarniverse and go grab your PDF. Okay, so what you'll need for this tutorial is I used five different colors of yarn. I'm using a sport weight yarn. It's really thin. I wanted to kind of do a mini version. So the colors that I used for this are the white color is called axonite. And it is color 831. And it's called axonite. I'm hope I'm saying that right. This is turquoise. And then this is color 811. And it's deep amethyst. This is color 827. Periodot. And then this is color... Oh, this one's a hard one to say. Rotochrotocyte. Color 835. All of these colors will be listed on the blog. And I'll also throw them down below. A 3.75 millimeter crochet hook. You're definitely going to need scissors because you change colors a lot. Go ahead and also grab a measuring tape.  Most adults have the same size head. I know it sounds really funny, but they do.  This headband measures around 19 and a half inches, which is perfect to go around a normal adult size head. If you want to make it smaller or bigger, just eliminate one of the squares. And that should be perfect. Eliminating one of the squares, we'll probably add on... Let's see. Oops, wrong way. Four of the squares is about 14 inches plus the ends, which are about one and a half, one and a half inches each. So that would be 3 plus 14. That would be 17 inches. So that would probably be perfect for the size of a young child, like a toddler or something. The little tails you can adjust and make as long or short as you want them to. So let's get started. Grab your hook. I'm going to show... I'm going to do two squares and then I'll do a border to show you how I did the border. And then I'll do the little end piece and the chain. These little beads I've had forever in my bead stash. They have kind of a little bit of a wide hole in them, so you can get... I was able to get this through, so you can use any beads. And I just tied knots. I put one on, tied a knot, put one on, tied a knot. That's it. Let's get started. You're going to learn a few new techniques today. If you haven't already known what they are, I'm going to pull this out. So for this granny square, which is unlike any granny square, you'll come across or maybe not. I don't know. Nothing's real original. We're going to do a magic circle to start. So I do this. You can do a magic circle anyway you want. I'm going to do that again. I put it in this first one, then I grab the second one and pull it up and kind of twist it around. And then I twist back around this way and pull through. So that's how I do my magic squares. I'll put a link down for my magic square video too if you want to practice it. Then I pull that piece out. So what we're going to work today is we're going to do a stacked double crochet. So a stacked double crochet, once you do your pull-through, you're not going to chain again, but you can if you want to. It's no big deal. I'm going to go ahead and do a single crochet here. And what we do for a stacked is you're going to go through the left bar of your single crochet instead of going around into the magic circle.  You're going over and pull through two. And you repeat that until you have three of them. So I'm doing stacked. So that's going to be my first double crochet of our granny square. Now we're going to work two more double crochets. Your tension can be like a medium tension. You don't want to be too loose but not too tight. So we're going to do that's three. We do two chains and then work three double crochets into that magic square. Do two double crochets and work three more. One, two, three, two. Did I say double crochets before I meant chains? Two chains and then three double crochets. One, two, three. So we should have one, two, three, four sets of three. And that's when we're going to pull our magic circle tight but first untangle it because sometimes they get wrapped up. So I'm going to pull it tight like that. There we go. And we're going to do two more chains to close out. And we're going to join into the very top of that stacked single crochet slash double crochet from the beginning. And I'm going to do a straight slip stitch through. Then go ahead and break this yarn. Pull it through like that. So we're going to add our next color and then we're going to add it into the chain two space right here.  So I'm going to use this pretty green because I really like this green. I think it looks really pretty with the pink. I'm going to add the new color here. And we're going to do a stacked double crochet. So I'm going to chain one through. Then go back through the center and kind of wrap that tail around it. Yarn over and pull the loop. Then pull through both. So you made one single crochet. Then go back through the left bar and you do another single crochet and one more time. And that'll be your stacked double crochet. Alright so once you do that we're going to work two more double crochets. Work around your tail. Okay I almost went too fast. So you'll have three double crochets. Chain two. Do three more double crochets. I'm working around the tail as I'm doing this. So it's a little bit easier. Honestly though it's still not easy. Chain two and work three double crochets. Two and three. Two chains. Oops. Double crochet three. Two chains. Double crochet three. Two chains. Double crochet three. Two chains. And then we're going to work into that chain two from the very end of our first round. Just like before you do three double crochets, two chains and three double crochets. These work up fast once you get the hang of it. If you're a new crocheter, this is kind of a good project to learn how to work in the round and also color work, changing your colors. So for the last part we do two chains again to close it out and we attach into the top of the stacked double crochet. And I've worked this up a few ways and I did slip stitches but then I realized when you do the border, working through the slip stitches is really hard. So what I'm doing now is just basically cutting them and tying it off after each round. Then grab your final color which is the axonite I'm using the white and I'm going to work into this first chain two space and do the same thing we did before. Just chain one working around. We're going to do a single crochet and then a stacked two more stacked on top of the first one. The stacked single crochets is great because then you can also create a cord using this method. So we're going to do two more double crochets because these stacked three single crochets are acting as your double crochet. Chain two and then three double crochets into the same space. Chain two. This time we're going to work one set of three into the chain two space. And now we do two more and we're going to work three two chains and three into the corner space. One, two, and three two chains. I'm working fast but feel free to stop the video anytime if you want to catch up or I think I'm about to have yarn barf. Or maybe not. Yay! So chain two after you create your three two chains and three and we're going to do a set of three double crochets into the side stitch. One, two, three, chain two and we're going to work three two chains and three into the corner space. One, two, three, chain two, two, three and chain two. Again we're going to do three into the side. So in the corners you're working three plus a chain two and three. In the sides you're just working a set of three double crochets. Chaining two in between each set of double crochet of three double crochets. Two, three plus a chain two, three and a chain two. And the last one is where we did our join. You're going to weave these tails in. You can always crochet over them this way too if you want. One, two, three. Oops. Working with the small yarn can be a little... Ah! I dropped it twice. See? A little tricky. To close it out chain two and then join into the very first stacked. And again just like before I'm going to go ahead and snap, snip that yarn and just pull it on through and close it out. The border is going to cover up a lot of this. So there we have our first little square. So I'm going to work another square off-screen and when we come back I'll show you how to do the border. Alright I have my two little square squares and now I'm going to show you how to do the border. I'm going to do a pink border. Okay so I'm not bothering weaving in the tails just yet. You can do that when you're finished. I am going to work this part on the top side. So when you're lining them up make sure that your tail for the very last row is on top like this. So both of them are on top. Oh, hi Yuki! Do this with me. Okay so I'm going to grab my yarn. We're going to do our first stitch in the corner, top right corner.  Attach your yarn, chain one and we're going to work a half double crochet into that same space. Then we're going to work a chain two and one half double crochet into that same space like that. Did I just do a double crochet? I did. That's when you've been doing them for so many double crochets you're like oh switching speeds. So I'm doing a half double crochet and I'm going to work a half double crochet into each stitch. So don't forget that this one kind of hides. This is your double one two three so you want to go into this space right here and I'm going to do half double crochets across into each stitch and just like you have two chains we're going to work two half double crochets into each chain two space. You continue that across working one half double crochet into each double and then two into the chain two space and for this tail I'm just going to end up working over this tail. Oh I just jeeded that across the table and so I'm going to kind of bend that back and pull it a little bit tight while I work into this double crochet two. Then there is working into my last double crochet and I'm going to work one half double into the corner space there like that. Then I'm going to grab my other granny square make sure my tail is on the top and I'm going to go straight into the front of the corner stitch right here but I'm going to do a half double crochet so I'm going to yarn over first stick my needles or my hook through there grab it and do half double join through there and then work a half double crochet in each double across just like we did before and work two into each chain space so when you get to the corner we're going to work the same type of corner stitch we did to begin with we're going to do a half double crochet two chains and a half double crochet into the corner stitch this is my tail so I worked around that you can pull it tight if you want I'm going to let that down now and I'm going to continue working half double crochets into each double crochet and two into each chain space all the way around so I'll probably end up speeding up the video right about now all right when we reach the corner we do one half double crochet two chains and a half double and continue working half doubles in each double when you come here to this corner work one half double crochet then you're going to pull up your other square and attach it just like we did before into the chain two space in the corner and continue working when you reach the corner one half double crochet two chains one half double crochet and continue working your half doubles okay so I have one double crochet left and I'm going to do my last half double into there then I'm going to join into the first half double crochet there we have our two squares joined and as you can see there's a giant space right there so when the time comes we're going to sew that up with a mattress stitch and I'll show you how to do the mattress stitch so once we're here I didn't break my yarn what we do from here is we're going to create the little border oh this looks so cute with the pink that for the next row we're going to work a single crochet row into the back hump or the front hump however you want to describe it of the half doubles so it creates this kind of cool little ridge okay so we're not going to break the yarn we're going to keep it as is and we're going to chain one then we're going to turn it and we're going to single crochet into the back or these front loops which is actually like if this is your front piece that's your front loop back loop of the half double I'm sorry I turned the thing that's your front loop that's your back loop that's your third hump loop however you want to some people call it the hump you can call the third loop I call it the third loop we're going to start with the first one here this one's a little hard to get into when you're first starting it and if you want you can go ahead and work it into the back loop of the very first stitch instead of the hump which is fine so I think I'm going to do that for this first stitch to work it right there so that's one work into the back home two three four six seven thirteen and fourteen so we should have 14 stitches across this is what it looks like on the front for row two of the side border we need to chain one and turn and so we're going to work into the very first stitch doing a single crochet two together which is inserting your hook into the stitch pulling up a loop insert your hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop that is your decrease so we're going to do that one more time so now we've taken four stitches and brought them down to two stitches then we're going to single crochet six one two three six then we do the same and do two single crochet two together decreases so one that's one decrease and then we do one more decrease chain one for row three and turn then we do a single crochet decrease single crochet six and then we do a decrease so we have two stitches left now for row four chain one turn single crochet two together decrease then we chain every single crochet four one two three four and then decrease you see where we're going with this right for row five chain two I'm sorry chain one turn then work single crochet two together decrease single crochet two decrease chain one for row six and turn row six we're going to single crochet two together two times so we're going to work two decreases that's our first and then our second for row seven chain one and turn this is our very last decrease we're making kind of like a little pyramid by doing so many decreases it's our little triangle so once you're here this is when we start working the chain I for this just chained about 36 it measures around you can make that longer you can do a full bead if you want you can be creative as you want so my chain measures with the end of it was a little bit longer but the main part of the chain is about six inches long I did 36 of them so yeah you can make this as long as you want or as short as you want or you could do a stacked a stacked version two and just chain chain chain I added my bead I made a little knot I tied like three knots in a row I'm sure there's a better way to do this but that's just what I did and I added another bead it tied some knots added another bead tied some knots so that's all I did and they're pretty secure they don't come off now I'm going to show you guys how to do the mattress stitch to close these up and of course you're going to have lots of tails to weave in which is always fun not fun this is what ours looks like so far I just love this I just think it's so cute this will be a cute little bracelet so for this bracelet I will probably just do one side like this and add a button over here or something you know and maybe just make a loop right there that would be so cute oh yeah I'm gonna look like a granny square Wonder Woman a granny Wonder Woman because she had that okay I'm just now I'll show you how to do the mattress stitch to sew this to excuse me to show this sew this together I'm going to use the same color as I used for my squares it disappears anyway which is really cool thing about the mattress stitch so just grab since okay what I did with this one with the big one is I did a very long length of yarn to start with because I wanted to when I sewed them together which was on this is the wrong side I started on the wrong side I sewed it up this way started here sewed it up then I went all the way through sewed it back down all the way through sewed it back up and you get the drift so I'm not going to cut as long a length because I'm just doing one for this but I will demonstrate for you how I did the entire length of this one so for the mattress stitch of course you want to thread your needle you want to work through the wrong side of your work you can just weave all those tails in later okay I'm gonna get kind of close here so to start your mattress stitch I went through this little piece to start you pull through until you have you know a good length of tail so you don't you have enough tail to weave in then you can kind of turn it I'm gonna get rid of this tail I'm gonna get rid of this tail so it's on the other side of the work so it's not getting in our way then you go through the opposite side and you're working from the bottom up through the top these tails were a little like it might want to weave them in before you do the mattress stitch because they could get in your way so just pull it up like that then you work back through each end stitch is where I worked through like each little side stitch see what I'm saying about these tails you might want to weave them in it's a verifiable mesh oh my gosh okay oh are we here yet no this one's in the way okay there we go we're back to cooking the fire okay so I just went through that side now I'm gonna go through that side so keep going back and forth through okay so you keep working like that through each one of these stitches until you reach the very very top like that and it'll kind of look like this at first you can tighten it as you go or you can wait to the end and tighten it either way is fine it ends up looking the same so when you get to the chain two spaces I just did kind of the same thing and just went through one loop of each of the chain spaces chain two spaces I mean the chains yeah highly recommend weaving in your tails prior so I'm coming up to the very very end I'm gonna go through this little stitch the edge just one loop of that I'm gonna go back through this one little side right there okay so there we have our completed stitch now here's the cool part you take the tail and you take this side and you kind of just pull them tight and it kind of disappears into this really cool like magic just disappears which is so cool you know stretch it out a little bit because you don't want it to be too tight when you flip it over this is what it looks like that is your mattress stitch okay so to do the other side we're going to insert our hook starting in the very first stitch here actually I'm going to start in this starting in this space here which looks like it's the end but it's actually that's the stitch it looks like it's in the chain so attach your yarn there chain one and then work in a single crochet in the hump of each stitch it's like the front loop make sure that you have 14 across that you're able to work into 14 14 loops so we've got 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 and 14 this one's part of a chain so we want to just make sure we have those 14 so we're gonna do 14 single crochets and then work the pattern exactly rows 1 through 8 just like we did the other side but for this tutorial I'm gonna stop here because I want to create this a little bit different I want the ridge on that side but I'm gonna put a button and just tie it off after this row for my little bracelet that I created for this video tutorial which is cool okay let's see did I do it right we get 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 I'm amazing just kidding okay well no I'm kind of amazing no I'm not yes I am a lord we're all amazing all right everybody have a great afternoon a great evening remember to subscribe to my channel if you haven't already and if you have any questions about this pattern please leave them in the comments below or head over to the blog and leave them on the blog you can always send me an email too thanks everybody for being here I hope you enjoyed creating this pattern and happy crocheting


Hello there, welcome. This is Melissa Armo with The Stocks. What's up reviewing INTC? This was the Stocks with Show Play of the Day in the room today. Actually, it was an idea from a student, Jackie. She saw this. My scanner did not pick this up this morning. So again, my scanner isn't foolproof. I mean, there are things that I just do not get. Do not get. So I felt confident 28 was reasonable in this today. We did do it. We did it late, because again, I didn't see it initially out of the gate in the morning on the scanner. So we did a late trade in this and then we did an ad. And you know, I squished the stock. So let's just take a look at it. I ended up putting the stock all the way above here. Again, a late trade to me is really ending after 10 o'clock, quite frankly. So we ended up getting in it right about here. Then we did an ad in it. Then we got the drop. Some people got out. I was looking for 28. We had a nice drop in here, 2809. It did bounce against me here. I ended up getting out into this drop here when it broke 28. So I had a good exit on this for a late trade. Again, in an ideal world, I get in and out of everything very, very quickly. But the way this market is, it's a little bit choppy. And if you don't get it right away, you do have to scan to look for something to move. And right now, we're really looking for the movers. What is moving? What is not moving? What needs the market? What doesn't need the market? These are all things you have to be careful of during these times when the market is chopping. And the market is chopping right now. We'll see if we get out of the range of the market after tomorrow. We'll find out. But this was a short. As you know, I loved a short. Let's take a look quickly at the gap. Close the night before here at 29.16. Boom. Open in the morning at 29. Gapped down 16 cents. Is that enough? Yes. I mean, you don't have to have something gapping down huge in order to do it. That's a misnomer as well for people. So didn't matter. Still was a nice gap. Still had a nice move. Still had a good target. Got to the target. If the market had fallen off the planet today, which it didn't, this would have continued probably down to 27, actually, because this can move. So nice play of the day here today. Today's only Tuesday. We have three more days left this week. We'll see where we go. See what we get. I'm looking forward to an exciting day tomorrow with the Fed rate hike if they want to hike rates. We're going to find out. Look for a lot of volatility tomorrow. And if you're interested in the Golden Gap class from March, you only got two days, three days to sign up. Friday's the deadline. And then the next class isn't for more than a month. So if you want to get in, get the trades, get the calls. Don't miss out. Email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com. Have a great day.
