Continuing on with our theme of degree distribution to networks, centralized networks represent networks with a very high degree distribution, meaning that in this type of network structure there will be very many nodes with a very low level of connectivity, and very few or maybe just one node with an exceptionally high degree of connectivity. Thus they are very heterogeneous and unequal in terms of how connected and influential the different nodes in the network are. So let's start by taking a few examples of these centralized networks. If we look at this network of global banking activity with nodes representing the absolute size of assets booked in a respective jurisdiction, and the edges between them the exchange of financial capital with data taken from the IMF, we can then see clearly how a very few core nodes dominate the network. There are approximately 200 countries in the world, but these 19 jurisdictions in terms of capital together are responsible for over 90% of the assets. This type of centralized structure to a network is surprisingly prevalent in our world, and we could cite many other examples of it, such as social networks where very few people may have millions of people connected to them, with the vast majority only a very few connections. These highly centralized networks are more formally called scale free or power law networks that describes a power or exponential relationship between the degree of connectivity a node has and the frequency of its occurrence. Power law networks are really defined by the mathematics that is behind them. In these networks the number of nodes with degree x is proportional to 1 over x squared. So the number of nodes with degree 2 is one fourth of all the nodes. The number of nodes with degree 3 is one ninth of all the nodes, and the number of nodes with degree 10 is proportional to 1 over 100. The point to take away from this is that this long tail means that there can be nodes with a very high degree, but there will also be very many with a very low degree of connectivity, giving us a highly centralized network. This type of power law graph was first discovered within the degree distribution of websites on the internet, with some websites like Google and Yahoo having very many links into them, but there also being very many sites out there on the web that have very few links into them. Since then it has been discovered in many types of very different networks, such as in metabolic networks where the essential molecules of ATP and ADP that provide the energy to fuel cells play a central role in interacting with very many different other molecules, whereas most of the molecules interact with very few others, thus making these two molecules hubs in the metabolic networks that fuel the cells in our body. This power law distribution has also been documented in the frequency of citations between academic papers and within the social networks behind Hollywood actors. The scale-free property to networks is then interesting because it appears regularly and across all forms of networks from the internet to social groups to biological systems. The power law distribution to a network like the World Wide Web is often explained with reference to what is called preferential attachment. Preferential attachment describes how a resource is distributed amongst a number of nodes according to how much they already have, so that those who already have a lot receive much more than those who have little. In more familiar terms, this is called the rich get richer. Within this model, if you are say building a website and choosing which other website to link to, then you will be twice as likely to link to a website that has twice as many links as another. So to formalize this a bit better, the probability that you will make a link to a site is proportional to the size of the site. If the network was created under these rules, then we should get a power law distribution. But in reality, this is quite a simplified model. It should just give you an idea for some of the mechanics behind these power law networks. Why we have these very large centralized nodes in the financial system we saw earlier is of course much more complex than this involving a number of different parameters. Most notable among these is the actual quality of the service that the node is providing and not just its size. One last thing we'll note about these centralized networks in respect to their robustness is that they can be very robust or very fragile, depending if we are removing nodes randomly or strategically. If we were removing nodes randomly, then they will be very robust to failure because the vast majority of nodes have a very low degree of connectivity and thus we would likely be removing one of these insignificant nodes with little effect on the overall network. But inversely, if we were to remove a node strategically, that is to say purposefully choosing the node we remove in order to maximize the damage we cause, then these centralized networks are very susceptible to failure of this kind. We just have to remove one of the giant hubs that are critical in their role connecting many small hubs and the system will be affected greatly.


Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Vita Pereira has withdrawn from the Everton managerial hunt. He thanked the club for showing an interest in him. He has chosen to remain in China with his current club. He said he was honoured to be considered for the role as Everton manager, but the club he manages in China is close to his heart and he has chosen to withdraw from the process. I'm not sure it had anything to do with them offering him 25 million or 30 million to stay. That's up to him and I'm not sure whether he was as high up on the agenda as maybe it's been the cater. But who actually knows who knows, but he's withdrawn from the search for a new Everton manager. Much to a lot of Evertonians relief it has to be said. Other people still in the run and David Moyes is the current favourite to become the new Everton manager. A lot of money on him and obviously people talking about David Moyes with possibly Duncan Ferguson as his assistant manager. Other people in the frame, Martello Gallardo is still in the frame. He is out of contract on Friday after his River Plate side playing the Argentinian Cup final.  I think he's one who's probably the most intriguing out of the list of names that have come up so far. But he's obviously never managed in Europe, although he has been very successful in Argentina. Other managers, Rafa Benitez, he spoke on Monday night football last night and said a few things, I apologise for calling Everton a small club. Said he would take the job, he'd like the job, he's got friends as Evertonians but he wasn't looking to lead China at the moment. Ralph Ranyich is another name that's been bandied about. I personally think he'd be a fantastic addition for Everton. He has been doing the sporting director job at Leipzig but I feel if he could come in and maybe have Duncan Ferguson as his assistant that would be a really good fit. Other people are still on the list such as Nicol Covac and Eddie Howe. But we'll have to wait and see but as I say David Moyes is the favourite. Interestingly, he's still the favourite before Vita Pereira with Drew from the process. So we'll have to wait and see. But the longer it goes on, the likely others that Duncan Ferguson will be in the dugout when Everton faced Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday. Some big news today is that Latin Ibrahimovic has been linked with a move to Everton in January. The Swedish striker is currently out of contract, haven't finished the season in LA Galaxy and left there. His agent is Mini Raiola, who is obviously very close to Everton, close to Farad Masheri and of course looks after Marcel Brands and that's probably how the link with Slatan has come about. Everton reportedly ready to make Ibrahimovic their highest player on an 18-month contract. We know that the club are looking for an experienced striker to help with the development of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Moyes Keane. Ibrahimovic would be very, very interested and wanted me pet absolutely delighted be his dream come true, loved him.  What is it? 4, 8, 11, 12 letters, something like that. But he's a massive name in Welsh football and can still do a job, big target man. So we'll wait and see whether there is anything in that. But Raiola has smooth deals between Everton and other clubs before most notably Moyes Keane in the summer. So we'll see what happens with that one. And Moyes Keane himself has been linked with a couple of loan moves in January. Calcio Mercato reporting that Roma and Bologna are interested in taking the young striker on loan. Everton made their stance pretty clear a couple of weeks ago and said he's not going anywhere. He's here for the long term and Calcio Mercato have got most stuff wrong this season. So it's probably one you can file under nonsense. And finally, Everton under 23s lost 2-1 at Leicester City last night. It's the Fox's eighth straight win. The Young Blues were 2-0 down before Anthony Gordon reduced the rears with a late penalty. But Everton couldn't find an equaliser so went down. Two goals to one. Make sure you subscribe.

And the Imo State government says the attack on the country home of Governor Hopu Zadimah at the early hours of today in Amunma community in Oru East, local government area of the state, is politically motivated. Plus TV Africa spoke to some residents in the area. The truth of the matter is that people are scared and people are running away. So all of a sudden we saw so many people that they were with vehicles and tipper and also people are running away. So the next thing they drove in hopes and they used those tipper to hit the gates and to come in there. So that is what really happened. They said people came to our governor's house to bond on this house. So I have to take cover. So after every on my way coming, coming back to my house because I live, this is my house. So I was coming back and there I saw some government they surrendered me and with my brother and other people we are together and collect our funds and said they are coming back. I am appealing to the federal government to put more tight in security to make sure that all these hoodlums are tracked down because you see from back where to even the last governor. We don't see this half of it. Meanwhile the commissioner for information and strategy Declan Imelumba. More briefing newsman says the attack was successfully repelled by security operatives even though one person was killed in the process. Even though the identities of the hoodlums has not been revealed, the state government is pointing accused fingers at desperate politicians who had earlier promised to make the state ungovernable. Some group of hoodlums attempted to attack the residents, the country home of His Excellency the single sonnet of Opus Adumai Nomoma. They attempted to attack it and probably with the aim of raising it down. But fortunately very gallant security operatives attached to the governor's house were able to repel the attempt. And so they did not succeed in the process you know gunfire ensued and at least the security operatives were able to reasonably control the damage they wanted to cause. So the most important thing is that it was a foiled attempt to attack the governor's house. If we go to Umma now we see that the governor's resident is standing, famed and intact. So the attempt was repelled by gallant security operatives. Yeah there is I think one casualty you know naturally when you repel an attack you know when there is an exchange of gunfire anything can happen that's the only way you can repel an attack. So I think there is one casualty. Police and the police? Well I'm talking I'm not talking for the police I'm talking of information I have maybe one or two I don't know but I think what I know is that there are a few casualties. So preliminary investigations point to the fact that the thing was politically sponsored politically sponsored. So but no conclusions yet the Excellency has already directed that investigation on the matter should be expediously handled and that both sponsors were applicable and the agents should be quickly apprehended and brought to justice. So that is where we are now but there are some indications that it could have been politically sponsored.

Our phone number's<PHONE_NUMBER>. Give us a call, folks. Wanna know what's going on in y'all world? Now in the world, we are gonna go in the world of our man, Mr. Dave Mazza. Dave is the head of product and a managing director at Direction. And as you come over to our website, folks at TFNN, you're gonna see the banner. You hit that banner, bring you over to the Direction site. We're gonna be talking about the single stock new ETFs. Dave Mazza, how you doing? I'm doing great, happy to be back. Yes, well, you know what I'd love to talk about, you know, because realistically, no one that's been long has had a chance to, well, I'm sure folks have gone long, but my point is at least we have a bounce going. So what I'd love to get into, Dave, is Amazon, Microsoft, Google, so you can explain to the folks, you know, you have new ETF structures here that you can get one and a half to one, which is great for day traders. There's no doubt about that because if the stock's moving, folks, okay, bottom line, you can get one and a half to one instead of one, so you're getting a little bit more leverage. So can you talk to us first? We got Amazon moving out here, Microsoft's moving, you know, Google's not moving that much, but do you explain to us how these work, Dave? Yeah, so happy to do so, and you're absolutely right. So these are tools like any leverage and inverse ETF that's intended for tactical trading. So really a day trader, someone who's interested in that, these can be in their toolkit because when you have embedded leverage, you need to be able to make that buy, sell, and hold decision very frequently and really daily. And the way they work is if we think about SPXL, right, that's the 500, three times bull fund, right? So you take the index, right, 500 stocks, and that's amplified on a daily basis. In this particular case, a trader is still transacting in the ETF, but it's at an individual security level. So to your point, whether it's Amazon or Microsoft, we're gonna have the common shares and offer one point times the bull exposure or one times the inverse exposure. So if I wanna express a bullish view, I can look toward one of these single stock ETFs to do that. Or if I wanna hedge my exposure, or if I don't own it and wanna directly express a negative view, I could use that inverse bear fund to do so. Yes, you know it's really cool. What happens, folks, is that if you are into the NDX100, I particularly like trading Microsoft and Amazon a lot. So it's really kind of cool because what happens, folks, is that when they move, they move. And in this particular case, if you would bullish Amazon, you'd go into the AMZU. And first off, you can come over to our website at TF and hit the button. It'll bring you to the direction. You're gonna see them right there. And then with Microsoft, it's the MSFU and with Google, it's GGLL. So this is a really nice setup, particularly for folks that don't, that are not in the futures market, that wanna get a little bit more leverage and there's plenty of folks that like to buy 100 shares of the Amazon and Microsoft. I mean, well, the Amazon's less expensive now so you can get more than that, but you know what I'm saying. So let me ask you, are you looking at more of these singles? I mean, you guys were so far ahead of the curve on the leverage and the inverses. Is this where the market's gonna go with highly liquid stocks? Yeah, so really our focus to date has been taking the top five stocks really in the NASDAQ or S&P 100 in the US and bringing these to market as to educate traders on how to use them appropriately and really how they work. And in many ways, as we talked about before and said today, they work exactly the same way as our other leverage university ETFs, but you do have to recognize there's a big difference. It's just a single security, not an index, whether it's an index of semiconductors, small caps, what have you, but they're structured the same way. Now, we are always looking for new ideas. So we have filed for some additional ones that we have not brought to market on some additional like Navidia's of the world and the like, along with some energy companies. Right now, we're happy with the 10. We're seeing traders probably not to surprise really embrace the Tesla pair, that's TSLL and TSLS, but I love that you mentioned trading Amazon and Microsoft, right? Yes. Those are names that particularly today, especially Amazon and the consumer side, that's gonna keep moving and be a real tell, I think of what's going on in the economy. So it's not just about, in many ways, it's become just about Tesla and Apple, but these other names, your Amazon's, your Alphabet's and your Microsoft are also really interesting for trading in this environment. And what we're looking at is what's spending gonna be, not just to the consumer, but with corporations and both of those names, Microsoft and Amazon, massive cloud businesses, which are really powering their earnings going forward. So heading into this really hugely important learning season, traders can use these products to express that view, either heading into the event or again, let's say I wanna be positive, or if I own the stock, and we've talked about this before. Yes. Using the inverse, so AMZU or what have you, to kind of provide that hedge for me if I'm concerned that numbers aren't gonna be so great. If we're just looking at the early reporters, I think the dire scenarios of where corporate earnings could come in have improved, but at the end of the day, there's gonna be the slowest earnings growth we've seen for the SMB500 in some time. And I think traders have a real opportunity to be nimble here, especially with the fix remaining as elevated as it has been. Yeah, Dave, you really put something great together. And realistically, you know what's so cool is that folks are used to the inverses, the doubles, the triples. So these are right up the alley. That's my take on it anyway. Do you know what I'm saying? They're just really easy to understand and pretty cool. You have a great one, safe one. I look forward to speaking in two weeks from today, Dave. Thank you. Thank you. Stay right there, folks. We'll come right back. At the time of booming inflation, we are purchasing powers eroded. There's no better place to protect your harder and money-thinning gold. This, the gold flagship asset is the Monk Todd Gold Project in the Northern Territory of Australia. This is Australia's largest undeveloped gold project. We are talking a world-class gold project in a tail-one mining district. This is a large-scale, low-cost project with significant existing infrastructure in a politically safe and friendly mining jurisdiction. This, the gold just completed the Monk Todd feasibility study, which resulted in a seven million-ounce gold reserve in a 16-year mine life. All of this combined with the approvals of all major operational as well as environmental permits. This distinguishes Monk Todd as an attractive, devious partner, ready-development stage gold project. This, the gold trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VGZ.

Let's get over to the oil patch and take a look at this oil patch. So we take a look at the active contract out here. That's trading out flat today. It has light volume. Okay, so we'll see if we can get lower. You're down five cents, actually, and you only have 145,000 contracts. It failed at a swing and it was a lower swing. Just turn this up. All right, there, that's good. So we'll see how this handles this bar, because the bottom of this bar is 83-22. My take is that we're going down the bottom, because what we have here, it's amazing. It's actually amazing to me. That's all people keep talking about is oil, like oil's gonna go higher, and oil's been going lower now for three months. I mean, since June. June oil was 112 bucks. And two weeks ago, it was 76. It couldn't take the swing point out of 96. It only went to 93.64, you know? Gold, let's go in the gold market and take a look at gold. So we have the dollar going the right way for us. Gold, bottom line, came back to strength. You can see how this, it's always a killer man that particularly when you just start in technical analysis that you had the strength off the bottom. The strength off the bottom had 280,000 contracts. That number, it started out at 1622, goes all the way to 1736. What I was about to say is that it's a killer. When you're in just beginning technical analysis, they say, what do you mean? Why does it wanna go back to strength? They just do, folks, okay? And we came back, okay? Now, watch what we did. Wednesday, I mean Thursday, you came back with 257,000 contracts. You're still going into 280. And then Friday, it basically had 183. And that's what you're looking for. So it'd be 183 against that 280. Now the question is, can it get going? If that's fine, it doesn't get going. It's only up five bucks. It hit 1674 today and they sold it right down. 20 bucks like a heartbeat here. Look at this. And this was when the dollar was going down. So that's telling me that you get, they can push this thing around, man. That's saying to me that they're trying to get long more than likely. You push it down, trying to get long against the deal. Silver, let's go take a look at the silver market out here. Now silver, bottom line is much more highly volatile in gold. And bottom line is that it went higher than gold too. Because silver actually took out your swing point that was out here in August. Same type of setup came back, but it came back to the very beginning of where it had taken off from. Right now out here today, we get 48,000 contracts out here today, which isn't bad. We have to get silver to get back inside 1895. That's a big number, man. That's the number that has to get back inside. I understand that you still have higher lows. There's no doubt we've had three higher lows. We have two higher highs. To me, I want to see it get back. The big strength in silver was when it went 1890 to 2079. That's the day I want to see it get back inside of. Some of the higher volume equities out here today inside of this market, and we'll see what kind of volume that we do get. Tesla's on a run. That's up 13, that's 62.  Bank of America's up a couple dollars. You got, let's see. Continental resources up 580. Let's see, that's Ham buying his own stock. Let me see what this is. Okay, so you get continental resources. I see, oh, this is interesting. So, Ham's the guy that started continental. Let me look at this. He's trying to take this thing private. I see what's going on here now. Yeah, and the shareholders. Let's just look at this on a longer basis. So, continental, look at this, though. He must be really bullish, man. And he's trying to buy this at highs. It's at 74, went all the way down to $6.70 in March of 2020. So, there's a guy that is absolutely bullish, not only on his own stock, but only a little business in general, man. Whole of them. That's a gas business, I think, isn't it? Let's see. But exploration production of onshore oil plays, no? Okay. Leasehold, the Balkan Shield, Montana as well as, you must know it's on the pipeline, man. That's the bottom line. Because you start buying things at the aspect of at highs and you're the insider, let's say quite a bit, in a good way. We take a look at Tesla. Tesla's having a hard time. It's up 13 bucks right now, but we got an inside day going on. You still, Tesla looks to me, that's gonna try to bang out this bottom of 206. We'll see where that whole thing shakes out. Yeah, let's go look at the yen. This, when I actually over the weekend when I was thinking about, you've always heard me say, okay, so when the yen gets stronger, folks, that means it goes down. Gold loves to explode top side. And if you're in the gold market, I think that we're really like pretty lucky that gold hasn't been really destroyed because when I look at the yen, we're talking about the yen five months ago was 126 and it's 148 and it doesn't look like it's gonna stop. It's like, okay, you know, I mean, it looks, it's just amazing actually, you know, when you actually take a look at it. Now, what I also did, you wanna see something crazy, man? I'm trying to, I was trying to figure this chart out. This would be, I gotta talk to Tommy. This would be a great question for a man. One second, there we go. Monthly, Teddy Kegs that. Because when I put this up, where do you see this chart, man? I'll put it on, that's on a yearly. This is a yearly of the yen for 50 years. Well, look at this thing, man. I mean, it's trying to overtake the, it just overtook 1998, which was 147.66. So if you really overtake this well, I mean, the next move is 177. The next move off that out is 262. The thing that's a mindblower, I really never knew that the yen at one point was 306 to one US dollar. You talk about the aspect of weak yen versus the US dollar, I mean, 306. So he's gonna know more about how that trades what that's all about, but that's pretty intense though. There's no doubt about it. Let's go take a look at CCJ, Kamiko. So Kamiko went after Westinghouse folks and the stock had smoked down five bucks. This stock here now, it was gonna have to do is build cause to get to higher price.    You know, it's interesting about the play that Kamiko's actually doing. Years ago folks, what had happened, like US Steel, right down where we are, and it wasn't actually in St. Petersburg, it was in San Quay, okay, which is only about 30 minutes away from here. US Steel bought all this land on the water, right? And they built all these high rises. And the reason they did it is to keep business going. That's why Kamiko is going after Westinghouse. Sometimes it's not a good idea. Stay right there folks, we'll come right back. If you wanna take advantage of this sector, now is the time to subscribe to my Gold Report.

So the punchline of the story, folks, is that when U.S. Steel did this, okay, they bottomed on, they were doing, they were buying the real estate so they could build the buildings and use this Steel. When I first looked at this, it's just amazing that, you know, that's how they were generating business. But the bottom line, it probably got them through a cash flow, whatever it is, and the bottom line, that's what they did. And Westinghouse's case, Westinghouse is bottom line, one of the largest nuclear power companies in the world. And so my take is that, you know, you get the uranium, here's the power company, bottom line, you know that the orders are gonna keep going. So that's more cohesive. There's no doubt about that. Now, as to their price, what you have with the price is that if you missed it, a couple of the tigers might have, I'm not sure when they're asking me about this. But the bottom line, this was a secondary that they had to push out. Well, they didn't have to, but the bottom line, they wanted to push it out, you know, to get more bread in and they pushed it out. They pushed it out at 21, about 2159, you know. So that pushed out, that puts about another 700 and something million in the coffer.  Let's go take a look at the good old Amazon because what's gonna happen, I mean, Amazon's been so intriguing this year because number one hasn't got the juice, you know, even on the way up and on the way down, it wasn't that bad actually.  So we'll see whether Amazon can, you know, basically get some juice going to the top sides, you know, the counter trend bounce that it had, we did go from 103 up to 146, pretty amazing. And then you come right back and test it. So we'll see if that's getting any juice because Amazon's gonna have a really tough time getting through 135 in general. We go over to Microsoft, we take a look at Microsoft, that's up about eight and a half bucks out here today. Let's see what this went into. Monthly, okay, so 576 million. Yeah, we're still not done going the way down. This is gonna be a good bounce. Yeah, I'm gonna do this. I wanna bring up the spy because when I ended the program, not when I ended the program on Friday, when I did the update on Friday, I talked about this large ABC structure down in the spy. So let's take a look at this because this is, you wanna really understand this because I suspect what's gonna happen is that we're gonna get a nice bounce going and that bounce going can get us all the way back up to the last bounce, which is 431. And so let me just show you how this ABC set up so you can basically keep this, you got the high. Okay, I'm gonna take a look at this and see how this ends up. So I'm not taking it from the top because what ended up happening was the top of the spies 479, we came down the woman's side with it. So I'm taking it from the March 31st high, which is 462.07, that's your A point. Your B point was the low that was generated out here in June. That number is the 362.17. So we have a 99.90 A to B. The C point is the counter trend bounce. The C point is the 431.73. I can't stand this one, this does this to me. Sorry, one second, I could write these down. I'm doing 462.07 minus. Oh, I think I, you know what I just got, I just, 370, no, 462.07, right? 462.07, that's, and then we got the 362.17. All right, this is taking me so long folks, okay? 431.70, there it is, 331. So 331 is the A to B equals the C to D. And you can see, let me put this up, so you can see how this 331.80, that's 331.80. So you can see in the month of May, I mean, month of June, we did 1.9 billion shares. We broke that with 2 billion, that's an ABC down. You have a price projection of 331. Now what I suspect, this is what's so cool to look at, right? I suspect what we can do is that if this consolidates a bit, you can actually get right back up to that number, the C point. So we'll see how it shakes out, but you gotta remember that. The reason that I think that's so crucial is that see the highs of the low where I think this is going is 313. So that to me looks like the largest setup and what's gonna be cool. So what happens on that also folks is this, let's say you're playing the counter trend bounce, the baby goes up there, it starts losing altitude, it starts losing volume, okay? The bottom line, if we get down to that lower price point, there's no one that's gonna wanna be buying. And that's where you really get solid bottoms. That's how this comes into play, that's the reality. It's like, that's how most of these big bottoms come in. Let's go take a look at the FXE. This is a currency, I believe, yeah. So this is exchange trade of funds. The fund is designed to track the price of the Euro. The fund is the largest suite of currency ETFs, okay. So let me just, so this is tracking the Euro. Let me see what this looks like. Okay, so we coming off the bottom. Yeah, I think this is a nice trade, you know? This is, you know, I mean, if you're in the camp, which is really cool, you see that high volume high, last swing point of 92.29, well, that's another hint that, guess what, that the dollar can start going down. And if you think that the Euro's gonna go up for the rest of the dollar, this is a thing to do. And if we go over to the Euro and we actually look at the Euro, the bottom line is that it does look that, you know, we might have come off this bottom. We'll see. The Euro would have to actually get back inside 99.988. But guess what, that could do that very easy. And my son, Tommy, just gave us an update inside the den. A man, Teddy Kegstaff, he's gonna be doing a webinar for us. But it's snowing in Chicago, but it's snowing in Chicago, okay. I think it's October 17th, yeah. It's supposed to have leaves, not snow. It's 83 degrees here today, folks. But the humidity's a little bit too much, but that's gonna be gone a few more days, now a few more weeks really. We get a few more days. I was surprised that the dew point was that high today though. Stay, excuse me, folks, stay right there, we'll come right back. Dow, Dow Industrial's up 590. Nasdaq up 356, SAP's up 95, come right back. Vista Gold owns and operates the largest undeveloped gold project in Australia, the Mount Todd Gold Project.

Traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Come back, folks. Let's go take a look at those small caps, the IWM, and see where we're going here. So the Russell, let's take a look here. Okay, so just like the market, had a big sign of strength. Let me pull this back a little bit further first. I wanna see what this correlation is to this. Oh, look at that, I almost made it. Interesting. So the highs, the high of the low is 154. Made it to 162 and 169 is the month before that. Okay, so the small caps, first off, almost get down to where I think the S&P's going. Okay, but now let's get a closer look on the daily. So on the daily, we had the sign of strength. We're gonna close above it, 172.20. Oh, it's 172.40, well. You know, I think this can get a bounce. I mean, that's how this is shaking out too. Yeah, I think it will.  And, you know, we just did that FXE for one of the tigers. I believe another tiger tolls we could do DDN. Is that, no, what is that? UDN, UDN. So this is the bearish fund, okay. The fund tracks the SHOTUSD currency portfolio, which is composed of a SHOTUSDollar futures contract that trade on the ICE futures. It replicates the performance of being SHOTUSDollar against the backs of six mega... Okay, so this is the same thing. Okay, this is pretty cool. So let's see, same type of setup. Now let's see, that's 141 FXE. So the spread is 2 cents there. And what I'm trying to figure out now, folks, is that when you trade some of these, you wanna take a look at the spread in between the bid and the offer. Well, it's only a penny. So either one of them's fine. The one's a penny wide and the other one's two pennies wide. So, you know, bottom line. I think that could be decent, man. You know, it could be definitely decent. So this is the cool thing. So picture, you know, when you read about John Henry, you know, he bought the Red Sox, now he's got the soccer teams and all this. All these future traders, folks, that, you know, do very well if they get their trend followers. That's the bottom line. Now they can do bad being a trend follower, too, if you're in a choppy market, which I've seen him also do bad. Okay, but the bottom line is that what happens in currencies is that they turn for a long period of time. So that's something that you could go in, if it works, great, if it doesn't work, and you can go in again and go in again and just keep it really tight because when they go, they really go.  This run on the dollar, now let's see, I'll just pull up, let's pull up three years. Look at this, yeah. So the run on the dollar was nonstop since May of 2021. Yeah, so we're talking about, yeah, almost 16 months. You can see this, I mean, look at that run, man. That's pretty amazing, actually. May of 2021, let me see something. I wanna see this, I wanna put this. May of 2021, let's see, I wanna, a GC1, one second. May of 2021, May 2021. Okay, so put this up. What I'm doing, I wanna see just how bad gold went down. Look at that. So, okay, so gold went down approximately 25%. Yeah, I mean, because if I bring this over here, it's 2063, let's call it 25%, as that's more, but that's all right. Now DXY, let me look at this. Because this is, you'll see where I'm going with this in one second, let me just put this back. We said 25%, right? And then the dollar here, 90, so 112, 22, this is the same thing. Look at that correlation is direct. Yeah, it's direct, man. The bottom line is direct. Each one of them is about 23%, 22%. So that goes up 22%, gold goes down 22%. So the bottom line, that's about as clear as you can get, man. You need a lower dollar for higher gold. That's the real bottom line. Now, inside of the gold market, in the gold report today, I was showing that the four biggest gold equities, bottom line, can't get off the low. Here's Newmont, Newmont's still in trouble. Just trading 41, Newmont's the largest waiting in almost all of these equities. And I'm gonna check that because it's gone down so far at the end, but here, let me show you. And then you get Barrick, okay? Barrick gold right now, that's trading at 1461. That's still at lows. Royal gold, which, you know, this used to be one of the biggest, strongest stock there are. You know, it's up two bucks today. That's still at lows. And then Franco, Nevada.  And for some reason, these big dogs, man, can't move. You know, if we look at the holdings here, Newmont's 13%, Barrick is 10%, Franco, Nevada's nine, and Eco Eagle's next. But here, Royal gold's down there at three, 3.4. So you got 13, 14, 23, 26 and a half percent, man.  Okay, so we got J.O., this is the IPATH Bloomberg Exchange Traders Fund. And let me go look at this, okay, is, what I'm gonna do first is I wanna bring up coffee in the futures market because that's what we're trading off of. So where are you? Look at this coffee, okay, so coffee right now is trading 195, well, I see what he's looking at, okay, so, why is it this one second, sorry. Okay, so this is coming down, they're coming down to a swing 192. Man, stay right there folks, you're coming right back. The technology around us is changing every day.

Dow Industrial is right now up 607, as except 366, S&P is up 97. On the coffee one, there's just not enough information about that future market. And I get with the J.O. that it can bounce pretty quick, but it's all about futures. There's only 7,000 shares traded, so if it trades, what happens when coffee trades, evidently it trades even in the future market, not a lot. And so that's why I see all these gaps. Market-wise out here at the bottom line, I suspect we're gonna get higher prices coming at us, bottom line. Thursday went higher, Friday pulled back, skied everyone, get them out of the market again, bottom line. You made that up today.  Thursday's high, it's at the spot, it's 367.51. Well, it's gonna be close. Actually, the spot's not gonna, it's gonna be 366.94. My take was still going higher. You're gonna get some follow-through here. NFLX, I just wanna see if they're coming out, they're coming out tomorrow with the numbers. Yeah, tomorrow, after close tomorrow, and that fucks after the close. So we're right in earning season now, folks. So the bottom line, we're gonna find out in how the market's gonna react to some of these numbers coming out. If we take a look at the Qs, the Qs, the high on Thursday was that 277, you're 269.32. I expect you're gonna get into higher prices. So this is the intriguing thing also, you gotta remember this, that because we're in inflation, even when these companies are making less money, the number, the number that we're gonna be trading could very well be higher, because all the numbers are gonna be higher, folks.  You're still at a higher number. That's what inflation does. Always remember, folks, the bank and claw your heart out the book and run you over, and thank God, there's always another trade. Health, happiness, and prosperity. Have a great night, folks. Have a safe night. Come back and visit Tommy tomorrow morning. Kicks us off nine in the morning. Great show, folks. Rear, we'll get him, folks.


One day my homeboy was like, man, ain't nobody got no song about the slab. He's like, nobody talking about the tight white, the bull headlights, bro. It's a fit wheel to grill, man. Man, you need to talk about that. So that's how I created Swing and Bangin.  He always showed you so much love, man. Yeah, man. I would always hear it. You know what I mean?  He's got me all the time. How did y'all and I'm going to wait for that. Let's just stop that right now, because I got somebody I want to talk with you about that with anyway. But he did used to be calling your name out a lot, man. So Swing and Bangin, man. This is when I first, you know, rock locked into you. Right. Well, how did you come up with?  Remember? Yeah, well, this was a long time ago. So you weren't used to seeing TVs in the car then. White inside TV. Well, I remember like a sale, a sale in the car. Yeah. Nineteen ninety five. So fools give it to me. And this is for them buster type G's who want to do it. Yeah. So how did you come over that cover? And how would you so far ahead of your time?  Everything I wrapped about was really real. OK, you feel, you know what I'm saying? And the people up around in my old G's and what we did was really real. And so one day my homeboy was like, man, ain't nobody got no song about the slab. He's ain't nobody talking about the type white, the bull headlights, bro. The fifth wheel to grill, man. Now you need to talk about that. So that's how I created Swing and Bangin. You feel what I'm saying? I started rapping when I was 12, 13, my first talent show, 14, 15, 16, 17. In Louisiana, I'm from a small town called Bogaloose, right outside New Orleans. The first person I won money on was Tim Smooth. That was a rapper from New Orleans. He had a concert that I won a thousand dollars. Pam. So I go to college and Lafayette when I get to Lafayette. It's a legendary club called Club Strawberries. I saw Tupac get a change in that show now. I saw Shaq get beat up in there. Yeah. You feel what I'm saying?   That's the first time I found out what a real bouncer was. Because see, from my long time, we had no bouncer. Yeah. So the bouncer come up to me, say, put that weed out. I'm like, big. The game. I'm running to you, right? I ain't putting no weed out. I turned my bag in one. That game it with you. They're going to a party. I picked myself through my club. So next week I go back. What's up? But that I told them they had a show. So I say, man, give me the mic. So the DJ was like, now to everybody that had been seeing me college, killing the college parties was like, man, get a mic. I tell them that the club on the side, hey, man, you decay outside the limo, you know what I'm saying? You want to go meet them? Like, hell, yeah.  Pimp and Buns and Bun had like a zip of Reggie. I don't see Reggie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what we had. Reggie, we back then. Pimp, he had a little three, eight, sitting right there. Yeah, gangsta. I had one, too. So he said, yeah, I want to do that. A little three, eight, coming in.  I'm like, yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying? Well, just keep doing what you're doing, man. Good to happen. That was the first time I met him ever, man. After that, we just got super cool. It wasn't even about music with us.


Hello, hello, hello, welcome back to Exotic Wine Travel. I am your host, Maddie Hauke. Hi, I'm Sherin Tan. Welcome back to the show today. We're gonna talk a little bit about German wines today. We just actually spent a month in the country visiting producers from all over. We're staying in the heart of the Rheinhessen, the biggest wine region in Germany, but we visited all the regions. It was a wonderful month in the country, right? We're tasting Riesling and Lodzsch-Petpern in Germany. So I have to admit, even as we're in the wine industry, we're tasting in and out, day out, all traveling, all the time, but I think Germany is one of the world's great wine producing countries, but it's also one of those countries that I know very little about professionally when you're comparing to France, Italy, Spain, Portugal. What about you? Riesling, specifically Moser Riesling was one of the first few white wines that I really appreciate, but just like you as well. I think there was just something intimidating about German wine that deters me from exploring more. And I think it's the label, right? If you're not familiar with the label, the label can be confusing. You have to stay tuned. I'm working on a video to try to simplify the labels as much as possible. So you have to stay tuned for that. But when you talk about German wine, you have to talk about Riesling, the king of grapes, right? Yeah, with his razor shop acidity, light body, refreshing palette. Almost every region does produce Riesling. And we visited producers in the Mosel, the R, Franken, Franconia also, the Rheinghausen, Rheingau, Naha, fault, the faults, and the Rheinghausen. Did I say the Rheinghausen? So we went all over the place. What are some styles or what are some things that you liked when you were comparing and contrasting the regions? In my opinion, I think that the different regions really bring about very different profile to the Rheinghausen. Of course, it's based on quite a limited number of producers that we taste from each region, right? For Mosel, I always appreciate the more mineral-driven, lighter, body-style Rheinghausen. Whereas for the faults, I always appreciate it to be more fruity, maybe a little bit higher in alcohol, a little bit more generous structure, but more round, when it comes to sort of wrestling. Rheingau, I've always known it as much more of a structure, muscle kind of wrestling, but that's about all that I knew, and I always liked the faults one a little bit more because it's more accessible. But after this trip, which really brought my attention to Naha, which I think that's one of my favorite wrestling producing regions. For me, I, you know, there's so much talk about the distinctions and the different resins to the different sites we were tasting from a lot of grand crew, premier crews, a lot of different regions. For me, the only style that I could really get my finger, my hands around, or the faults is obviously the faults is bigger, has more fruit, and the Naha, what you talked about. Naha has the fruit, but still has the razor sharp acidity, but it's not overly fat, like some of the wines from the faults can be. Mosel, okay, they can be slady, but I thought the Naha and the faults were the most distinctive for me. I think it also has to do with, besides often what people talk about terroir, right? Also, it has to do with the producer's style, signature. It has to do with the vinification method as well. And what you pointed out was, like for faults, it's quite easy to identify because the wines or the grapes from that region tend to have higher pH and quite a handful of producers don't try to stop malolectic. So some of the reasoning actually went through malolectic, and you can imagine the malolectic style kind of a wrestling, even just a little bit compared to the Mosel, Precise, like no malolectic high acidity sort of lip wrestling, they are very clearly distinct difference, even to, I would say, even to quite a casual palette. Yeah, for people that don't know that like wrinkly, these things have this opinion that these things are sweet, simple wines. That's not the case, you know, Germany producers are very passionate about recently making these bone dry, intense wines, a lot of stone fruit, lime, lemony acidity, a lot of minerals, and they just go great with all types of food, right? Yeah, I think classically, wrestling cabinet really built a reputation for German wrestling, right? Which often when you have a great reputation, it goes both ways. So even for me as well, I believe my first taste of wrestling was a Fritz Hart cabinet from Mosel. So again, that sets impression for people about what wrestling is about. I think also to a second point, right, I learned to realize that even when we talk about dry wrestling, no matter how dry they are, most of the producers actually have a little bit of residue sugar in their wrestling, sometimes like five, seven, eight grams, but it shouldn't be pronounced to the palette because it really just helps to balance out the acidity which is really high, but there are various reasons why people think they're wrestling their sweet. Also the flavor, the flavor when you smell it sometimes because of the honey flavor, it's very easy to fool people and to believe that it's a sweet wine. It's intense, it really can be really intense. And I'm glad you touched on it. Talk about some styles that really impressed us, some wines that really impressed us. Obviously we tasted some of the greatest producers which was great, but cabinet, I found that I really like it. And we're talking about sweet cabinet because you can have dry cabinet, but I really like cabinets or usually around 40 grams. Go on. But any grams that we do is residual sugar. You've always been a cabinet fan. No, not really actually. I started drinking cabinet when I was really quite a teenager but I grew kind of out of it. But for me that's, it was just my impression. If I want to drink a Moser wrestling, I always think about cabinet because it's just so easy to drink like you said, at the sugar level with great acidity, very refreshing and it's usually very light, like 10%? Yeah. 8% So it's really dangerous when you put it in front of you, it's like juice. Oh is it? And you know, these wines usually about 40 grams a liter of residual sugar that sounds like a lot, but with the super high acidity, they still taste fairly dry. What's great is a lot of producers are passionate about cabinets, so they're making them with fruit from Premier Crew, Grand Crew Vineyards. This is not some standard fruit. Just the juiciness, the sweetness, the lemony type of city, the citrusness, the minerals. Oh, it goes well even with meat, right? It goes well in different types of food. There are just so many things that's so amazing about wrestling, right? Again, if you go back to sweetness, one thing is that a lot of people, it comes off as so sweet because of the aromas but they achieve it with so little residual sugar and then yet at the same time, it tastes so balanced and dry even though it has some residual sugar. So I think that's all this contradiction, dichotomy about wrestling that makes it so... The next is, you know what? German Pinot Noirs have been giving tons of press lately. There's an article in four, I don't think it was four, it said Germany might be producing the best Pinot Noir in the world right now. We're in Germany called Speitberger, late-ripenning burgundy. We found some really good examples, right? Absolutely. Actually, recently when I was in Switzerland for the Mondale du Pinot's event, I rated a couple of wines with a gold medal. I awarded them with a gold medal and upon looking at the result, actually it turned out that quite a couple of the Pinot's got like an actually Speitberger neck. Speitberger, you find them because it's the most planted red wine grape in Germany. You know, as far north as Germany is actually 40% of the production is red wine, weirdly enough. But, you know, you have everything from very simple Speitberger's three euros all the way up to examples where it tastes 99, 99, 100, probably even more. And you can find quite a range in quality, right? Yeah, it's quite interesting today, right? Not a ton of drinkers talk about Germany being a Pinot Noir producing country because it's in fact the third biggest Pinot Noir producing countries in the world. And you really, like you said, you can find so many different styles of wine, so many different styles of Pinot Noir in Germany. What I appreciate, as you said as well, because of the price point, usually for most of the countries, I'm quite picky, so even for like the range of like 20 to 30 euros, right? There are a lot of Pinot Noirs that I just don't appreciate. I don't like to drink. It's one-dimensional. It's like too burnt, it's too hot. It's just something I would pick on it. And I become the kind of person you don't want to be friends with. But when it comes to being in Germany, there were in fact quite a couple of 10 euros. Even the cheapest bottle that I bought was 8.99, 9.99 euros. Fred, yeah, it was awesome. It was quite a different profile. You would expect a little bit of this, like, slight hint of paprika spice, wild strawberry for the usually the entry-level Pinot Noir. But what I love about it is most of them, they are not freaking burnt. You still get your nice aromatic compounds, very soft, very layered notes of Pinot Noir on the nose. You know, I thought when you're talking about mid-range and under-shave burger, it has this distinct profile. When you start to get in the 20, the 30, up to 100-year range, the wines are very, can be very burgundy, I think. Yeah, yeah, I would sometimes, sometimes not just burgundy as well, I think of it as the 90s, 70s, Napa... Napa cap. I know it's a very strange comparison, but if you're familiar with the 70s Napa Cabinet, right? It was a time when the alcohol was like dull back to like 13, 12% alcohol, super green acidity, light body. But when it ages, if you drink those Napa cap today, it has that sort of silkiness, that sort of light, ethereal, back spine that you find in Pinot Noir. And in fact, I do find it in some of the top-range fake burgundy, and I was just, I was blown away. I mean, I literally almost cried when I tasted one of my favorites fake burgundy, because it was like traveling back in time to somewhere in the past in burgundy that I don't know about. I mean, we tasted some excellent from John Stodden and they are some amazing wines from Rudolph first. And I'm talking amazing when I put my tasting notes back in 96, 97 point type of wines, right? So there's some, there are some truth there. There's some beautiful German fake burgunders out there. I mean, for wines, maybe it's different for some people as well, but for me, often they are good, very good, excellent wine, right? And then there's just this category of ethereal wine where you just, I'm lost for words. Okay, 99 points, 98 points. And lastly, we're going to talk about price. And you know what? I was just astounded by the quality of wines you're getting at relatively low prices, especially as it pertains to white wine and more especially Riesling. You were getting some outstanding Rieslings that you were buying there on the shelf, seven to eight euros. Of course, the grossest give-offs, the Grand Crew wines, they go up to, you know, they were 35 to 70, 80 euros, even more a bottle. But I found in anywhere from the low range to the village level, to the Premier Crew, the Erste Lager, you fantastic wines for anywhere from the 12 to 25-year-old price range on the shelf. So I think that we're only about two times in our travel lives that we say we're living and drinking very well. So once was in Hungary and then in Germany was the second time. Sure, like Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, all of those countries that we love, they make great wines as well, but we're talking on a daily basis. How many, how many value for money wines can you get and what is the diversity? We could be drinking like great value for money wine for a whole two months and drink a different bottle every day in Germany or much more than that. So it's incredible how great value, what kind of quality, the diversity, the money, oh, everything you can get in German wine, you know I'm crazy about it. Especially when you consider the fact that the country is expensive, labor is expensive, the slopes are really, really steep. That's one thing I didn't mention as well. You know, you think of, when you think of health side venues, think of Italy a lot of times, but man, in Germany, they're so precise, they're so steep, it's really some impressive stuff. So Germany, I will be looking forward to going back. I'm a German wine fan, a Rieslinger-Schwaetbergen fan for life now. Ha ha, in fact we'll be going back to Germany to discover a little bit more this winter, so. You have to stay tuned to that, you know, I'll put some links, we wrote some articles, did some videos about German wine. If they're out by this time of the video, I'll put them in the description box. Check out some of these wines, go out and drink them. Germany, man, fantastic, fantastic stuff. So guys, if you like this video. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel. Exactly, we're on channel, I will see you. At a next episode, bye.


What's going on guys?  Actually everybody you may just want to turn down that volume just a little bit. Now I have warned you don't be bitching in that comment section about screaming 13 year olds because I've warned you but if you enjoyed the video leave a like I do appreciate it. Thanks as always for stopping by and I'll catch you on that next one. It's like a break from Destiny. I just couldn't play it anymore. You were like in like the Destiny main screen for like the whole day. Yesterday? Yeah. I can't chill. Look at what I got. Alright guys maybe I'll get the Black Spindle. Those are the weapons I've been trying to get for like I mean the arms I've been trying to get for 10 years. Let's go. Let's see. Okay whatever. Alright ready? See if I get it. I don't think I'm going to but if I do you'll know. Dude say call. The fused ones are the best ones. Why did a white ingram drop? Oh my god if you see him offering. I'm going to cry.

Rumble is compromised. Possibly. Possibly. And we're not attached to any platform. I tell you the truth, I really like Bitshoot. I watch a lot of my videos of the content creators there. I watch them on Bitshoot. I do enjoy... No walnuts today. Ryan on Rumble. And I don't know if Rumble is compromised. Some people say it is. Some people say it's not. For me, they've treated us well enough. And I appreciate that. I just don't want to be abused as a content creator. As a human being, I don't want to be abused. SensorTube abuses its creators, abuses people. By the way, gang, I'll give you a heads up on this. Last few videos I've loaded up, we're getting a fair bit of views. The live stream as well as the little shorts I'm loading up. So we're getting into the top end of the views we usually hit. And SensorTube puts a cap on it, so it's going to be a certain number. They reduce it again. But one thing I've noticed is SensorTube is shadow banning, censoring a lot of comments. On all sides. I stopped going to where it says moderation needs to be approved or something like this. I forget what it's called. I stopped going there, but because we're getting a lot of views on some of these videos, I went, let's see what's in there. What's SensorTube censoring? And I went in there. I couldn't believe the number of comments that were censoring. I might have approved one. I didn't bother approving the rest. It doesn't matter. I mentioned that I wasn't going to moderate that anymore. But one person had commented, testing shadow banning. And I just commented. I think I said, yeah, I'm not banning you. It's SensorTube. That's what it is. And the comments that were being banned or put on a bad list by SensorTube, there were pro-Palestinian, pro-Israeli, neutral people who didn't care, who were talking about different things. Tons, right? So anybody that's on SensorTube, if you're wondering if your comment is being shared or not, it's out of my control. If I see certain things, then I do comment. But there's a lot of stuff that is, even from members or members who are following us and have been long time subscribers to my channel on SensorTube, they're being blocked. Just so you know. Just so you know.


From one moment to the next, our environment is changing. Most changes are small and seem insignificant, but each change sets off a ripple which intersects with other ripples, and so on. As they build and intersect with one another, they can develop into one unexpected dramatic change. Many of these changes go unnoticed by us until they intersect, building enough momentum to get our attention. Consider that our environment is more than just the fire environment. It includes humans and equipment, all setting off ripples. So it isn't hard to believe that the perceptional blind spots and degraded situation awareness will happen. With that said, you can safely conclude that the organization will eventually be surprised. When that happens, it is imperative for us to respond and bounce back swiftly and effectively. This is what happened on the Indians Fire in Central California last summer. A giant fire role worked its way over the top of a group of firefighters creating an environment of complete disarray. While we can look back at what happened and identify firefighter oversights, the outcome could have been much worse. Despite the chaos, firefighters demonstrated resilience and ability to adapt quickly to an unforeseen event. On June 11, 2008, at approximately 1630, members of the Fulton Hot Shots and Los Padres Engine 7-1 found themselves standing on Melpitas Road in disbelief at the fire behavior event they had just experienced. No one could explain how the fury of the giant fire world had dissipated to nothing just as quickly as it had overrun them. The day of the fire world, temperatures warmed quickly into the 90s and relative humidity dropped to single digits. Firefighters were told to expect spotting and sustained runs that would test containment lines. No red flag watches or warnings were issued for the area. The fire had grown to 5,000 acres. Jim Smith's Type 2 Incident Management Team was in place. By 0800, Division Charlie was fully staffed. At approximately 0900, crews began a burnout operation to establish a safety zone near the Charlie Delta Division Brake. By 1100, they were done. One of their incident objectives was to keep the fire north of the San Antonio River. To ensure this, crews were instructed to burn east along Melpitas Road. This is where we'll pick up the stories of the Fulton Hot Shots and Engine 7-1. Okay, the resources that were in our division on June 11th, we've worked with before in prior years, so we all knew each other. We all the captains knew each other, the soups knew each other. Our vegetation types were much like you see here. This grass component right here, knee high, we're actually in part of the fire area. Across the road here is one of our contingency lines. It has the same fuel type, same kind of oak overstory canopy. And then as you get higher up, we get into a brush component. Some thicker chaparral, chemise is scattered throughout here, but predominantly what you see here is our fuel type that we're conducting the firing operation in. We understood the plan was to take fire from the crews that are working up the road here and pick it up from them and head east along the Melpitas Road. We started off with briefing the guys. We're going to use the black as we went for our safety zone. I personally contacted Division Soup air attack and Division Soup contacted operations and everything was a go on firing. At approximately 1200, the Fulton hotshots initiated their section of the burnout operation with the main objective to carry fire east along the Melpitas Road, staying ahead of the fire. The burnout was to be supervised by Louis Arrasco and Josh Acosta, both foremen with Fulton. Josh has the main fire now, the firing heading off in this direction. The main activity is still up on the slope and it's moving this way. Right along parallel with our operation. We stayed even with it and somewhat just a little bit ahead of it if we could and just kept the firing going down the road. It was doing pretty good for us. We had winds at our back and we had pretty good communications with Ron on what was going on out in front of us.  This is coming to hit the road, but we're dragging fire this way towards us to try to get out in front of it to slow it down. We're talking the same thing, 535? Yeah, or a light, you know, a light for an aerial platform just to be eyes in the sky, can tell us where some spots are if they end up farther than we can see them. Okay, I understand. Very good. I can do that. During this whole operation, I never really felt in an unsafe situation. And when I started, when I took the firing show from Josh, I know I saw the activity was increasing. It's one of the biggest fire worlds I've seen. Look at it turning on itself. It goes away all the way up. Ron Boyer and the Engine 7-1 crew are now just west of the corrals. Louis drags fire by them, moving east on the Opetis Road, still outflanking the column. Josh and his squad are further west, holding on the road. We're coming down the road to the light and ripping off. Trying to get out ahead of it. The wind that this column is creating is unreal. He had another spot initiate about 150 yards down the road here. Engine 7-1 Captain Roberto and me were standing here. His engine was facing this way and we made eye contact. I mean, right next to each other, we knew what needed to be done. He knew he rounded up his guys and he went to go engage. We had a spot down the road about 300 feet. I took three of my firefighters with me. First, I had one of the firefighters back the engine up and from there, the firefighter caught up to us. The engine followed behind us. It was a 10 by 10 spot right off the road. Very easy to handle. Just squirt a little water on it and would have been done with it. Got about 150 to 200 feet from the engine. No further than that. And that's when everything just came at us. So we went and turned the truck around. Frankie and I turned the truck around. I was going to pull up and get behind Frankie. And the winds just laid over. The smoke just laid over. And all of it just started pulling in towards where the guys were. So I finally got straightened out in the road and this was within seconds. All this stuff just happened so fast in the road.  And then as I was going towards where the guys were, I got on the radio and tried to get a hold of Bert and say, hey, there's a spot behind you. And I couldn't really hear. At that time, I couldn't even hear myself talk. It was so windy. It was shaking the truck. Rocks and everything. The wind was flying around. It was hitting the truck. I mean, the wind's so powerful it couldn't even hear the engine behind us. It just got dark all of a sudden and windy and hot. My concern was to try to get out of there. I looked to the left out in this field here and I mean, within seconds, it literally was area ignition. And I've only seen that once before and that was a long ways away. And so I proceeded past the limb into the smoke. I couldn't see anything. It was so black and dark. I couldn't hear anything besides all the rumbling and stuff just flying around hitting the truck and chaos in there. I wasn't getting any response back from Bert and all them so I didn't know exactly where they were. So I went down and tried to get them because the flames weren't big. They weren't touching the truck. They weren't going across the road. It was just all radiant heat or convection or whatever you want to call it. It was hot. The giant fire world has reached wind speeds of an F1 tornado. Its smoke and heat filled center lays over the top of the engine 7-1 guys as they struggle to escape. The two Fulton hotshot squads were experiencing the effects of the fire world in an entirely different way, dodging debris and fighting to get back to their trucks. Once the winds picked up to what I guessed to be 80 miles an hour, we had branches of oaks, you know, 10, 15 DBH branches coming off the trees and flying across the road. We had a couple of my guys on the crew out ahead of me about 40, 50 yards. I'd walk back to tie into one of our guys and as they were coming back to us, I remember telling them to hurry. I was yelling at them to hurry up and come back towards me and get by the trucks and they were trying to run and they couldn't even run because the wind was so strong. At that point, I immediately from directly due east, it's crystal clear, I'm in unburned fuel and I'm getting hit by, I'm not sure what it is. It feels like a thousand bees hitting ya. Not stinging but just getting pelted by dime size or quarter size stuff and I'm looking straight into the blue sky and I'm going what in the heck? Everything's back here and all of a sudden I get hit and I'm getting hit with thousands of them.  So the column was, it appeared to me to be sucking for more oxygen. It was pulling itself out of this drainage back behind us, pulling everything out, coming back through here and then drawn back into itself. At that point in time, I looked up and the column was now starting to lean. As I tried to work my way back to the truck, I had to bend down and hang on and go because I'm in the green here 40 feet from the truck. I'm thinking I got to get to the truck because I don't want to be in the green especially with hot embers going everywhere. I'm telling ya, limbs are blowing off, it's 80 mile an hour winds and I said, it's in the report. If a cow flew by, it wouldn't have surprised me. I am dead serious. It wouldn't even have phased me. I mean, big things were in the air. Yeah, the smoke was, you know, real hard to see where the blind couldn't see anything. The heat, it was extreme, you know, hard to breathe. Yeah, I was just trying to figure a way out, you know, how to breathe in there, you know. It was tough. Yeah, there was, you know, I thought that was it there, you know, because it was so hard to breathe.   Felt embers on my neck. Just, you know, I looked at the pavement and thought, you know, I guess this is it. This is it for us, you know.  And after that, I just, you know, just remembered my training and, you know, for our shelter training and, you know, started breathing calmly and taking short breaths and we couldn't hear anything, so I just pulled my shelter, showed the guys the shelter, so they followed after me what I did.  At that time, I was able to breathe and it was cool underneath the fire shelter, so we just turned around and just started walking back with it. And at the same time, I was looking back, looking for my other firefighter that wasn't around. As the crew is caught in the chaos of the fire world, Engine 7-1 crew member, Chris Lyons, finds himself separated from the group and runs back down the road, struggling to open his fire shelter. I finally got to a point. It was probably about 50, 50 to 60 feet after the limb that was down back here. And that's where I picked up Chris Lyons. And I couldn't see him. I almost ran him over. He was running out of the smoke because there's some reason I got a break in the smoke at that time. And he was running out and he pretty much ran into the bumper, looked at me. I could see him. He'd draw everywhere. He couldn't barely breathe. And he ran to the passenger door and swung it open and jumped in. And as soon as he opened that door, it felt like someone just turned and it was so hot, couldn't even explain it. I told him to shut that door and lay down.  And he's all, I don't know, they're back there. And I was like, how far? He's all, I don't know.  I don't know. Just get out of here. I was like, where's the guys? And he didn't want to answer me after that. And so I just, I paused there for a second and kind of looked in front of me. It was like driving through a tully fog. Can't see nothing. So I couldn't, I didn't know what to do. I had another guy with me and I don't know what's in front of me.  And I can't see the guys. I don't know if they went the opposite way that Chris did. He had no clue. So I just made a decision there just to back out. Meanwhile, the division supervisor has a compelling urge to drive east on Milpitas Road. As he drives through the firewall, he finds it difficult to see in the dense smoke and flying debris. There's a flash of light from his headlights reflecting off a fire shelter. He pulls alongside Roberto and his guys and yells at them to get in. And the division suit called and asked me how many people I had and I said one and myself. And then I seen them come out of the smoke and I wasn't told to leave by then because I seen all three of them sitting in there. What scared me the most was when they came around the truck and I can see that they were burned. I didn't say anything to them. I wanted to make them freak. And a couple of them jumped in the truck and I see Burt kind of walk off a little bit and then he asked me to take his gear off so I took his gear off. And that was it. I didn't see the medic and the line medic that was right down the road here about half a mile and then he told us to get to the ICP and we went down there and they got treated and they took them down, took them away in the ambulance and that was pretty much it. The fire world quickly lost energy as it moved from the higher brush filled slopes into the grassy flats. It dissipated rapidly. The fire behavior and spread dropped to nearly nothing. This camera didn't do it justice. It came like a tornado came through here which it did. It shredded huge limbs like that one just dropping out of the trees. I mean it was so short a time span that it all happened from the time that I walked from my truck, walked 40 feet out and walked back. That's how much time that took for everything here to unfold in that precise moment. So probably my time span would say for everything to unfold two minutes? Well snicking at that point was my main thought is it's not just me no more. I got Chris in the truck and by going further I don't know what else is going to happen.  But it was, I mean at one point it was pretty easy to back out and as I was backing out it was getting pretty hard until I heard the vision call me on the radio and it was that made me feel a little better once I knew they're okay. A lot of people were wondering whether I would do anything different. I would have to say no. You were saying why?  We came up here we came up with a plan to fire off the horseshoe and the Milpitas road and it was the support of the objective we got from the vision and we were doing it safely we had black with us we had good communications we had good weather for us to be burning in that situation I look back and I've tried to look at it from a bunch of different angles and I can't come up with anything that would make me change tactics it just brought home the fact that the closer I have my module together in that situation the better off we are. What we witnessed here and what I saw if I was to encounter that again plan for worst case really make sure your resources are tactically positioned and ready for engagement and everybody's aware of the deteriorating conditions. We're probably about 100 feet away from the spot down here we never made it to the spot it could have been real easy to let them go down and take care of that by themselves I had a first year firefighter the other two had two seasons so I decided to go jump in there with them I'm not sure what the outcome would have been if I would have sent them by themselves This story was intended as an opportunity for you to learn from the experiences of others We hope that you're able to place yourself in their boots and think what would I have done? Using the talking points in your student workbook discuss your perceptions of the Indians fire


see if I can be this person, see if I can jump this high. Let's go, inertia. Now into the balance, smart Steve. You get to be that courageous person now. No matter where you are on the journey, you're more courageous than I am for taking that step into the complete unknown. Go for it.
