Very nice. So what's on our agenda today? After this in a moment after I've introduced the agenda, Bonnie Moyer from Illry is going to welcome us all and get set the scene. We'll do a small introductions exercise and then Cynthia Mugo from Illry will introduce why we're here in a sense and then Michael will give the big picture what is the project and what are we trying to do and then we're going to go break into some working groups to dig a bit deeper some of the issues we're working on. Then a quick feedback session and Michael will wrap everything up. So I think Michael we need to turn over now to Bonnie to see Bonnie Moyer and you can stop sharing I think. Bonnie is the deputy director general at Illry responsible for biosciences I believe. Bonnie over to you, welcome. Thank you so much Peter and good afternoon colleagues and good morning wherever you are connecting from. It is indeed my honor and privilege this afternoon to welcome you all to this consultation. I'm pleased to note that we have or we are expecting participants from more than 10 organizations so I'm hoping that more will join in the coming minutes. Colleagues today we're meeting to reflect on an important topic that is livestock. In developing countries we know that livestock plays a multiple problem solving role in the areas of nutrition, food security, employment creation, gender equality and poverty alleviation. Globally it is a major contributor to economic growth and prosperity. So balancing these positives livestock production also has a challenge where it also emits significant greenhouse gases and therefore can cause environmental damages. Domestic animals may transmit diseases to people and over consumption of animal source foods may cause various issues. However without significant investment in the livestock sector both to grow this sector it's many benefits and also its ability to mitigate the harms it can cause we risk failing to meet many of our 2030 agenda objectives. Colleagues if you look at ODA figures from 2019 the agriculture sector received very little only 3.9 percent out of which the livestock sector received 0.17 percent and if you look at the budgets of many national governments the figures would not be any different at all livestock continues to receive very little budget allocation even though livestock accounts for almost 40 percent of agriculture GDP but sometimes this figure is even higher in some of the low and middle income countries. So in order to bring increased attention to this sector and this scenario and funding for livestock priorities the Gates Foundation invested in an ill-relate program called the Global Sustainable Livestock Advocacy for Development a mouthful but it's glad in short. So the issue there is about sustainable livestock advocacy for development. So some of you in this meeting today are familiar with cloud however for the purposes of others I'll just give a brief introduction. Cloud seeks to ensure there's a nuanced evidence driven debate around how livestock contributes to sustainable development in low and middle income countries. Cloud highlights the important role that livestock can play in achieving multiple development goals in low and middle income countries whilst recognizing that livestock systems must change to be more sustainable affordable and equitable. So in 2016 that's when the cloud program began and is currently finishing its second phase. The project has evolved over time and the team has been working very hard at developing a new phase where we will be prioritizing working with partners like you so we are excited to share with you our initial ideas for the third phase of cloud program. Our focus today therefore is to get feedback and inputs from this group which is gathered today but most importantly identify actions and collaborations that can help us to continue to contribute to addressing the global challenges some of which include our aspiration to contribute to ending hunger, improve nutrition, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase climate adaptation but also enhance the livelihoods of small holder farmers in low and middle income countries. So with those few words colleagues who would like to position GLAD to also support you you and your organization agenda in the livestock sector. This is our partnership agenda and after today's discussions I hope that the GLAD program will be the vehicle where we all work together as we envisage better lives through livestock. With that I would like to again thank you for joining us today and now would like to hand it back to you Peter. Thank you very much. Thank you Bonnie for setting the scene and explaining why we're here on a large scale and Michael will go into some of the details a bit later. What I'd like to do now really is just a quick introductions exercise and we're going to go over to Menti and I just put in the chat a link for you and a code for you. So what we're going to do really is just to spend five minutes talking around livestock, talking around why livestock are important, talking around why we think livestock might be important or not important and then just do a quick exercise. So you should be able to go to the link in the chat otherwise go to menti.com and enter a code 3459 and then 0426 and then Michael I'd like to share my screen if possible so that we can see the we can see the result. So I'm going to just go ahead and do that if that's okay with you. Could you tell me what the acronym LMIC stands for? Income Countries. Oh well thank you that was obvious. Sorry, yeah. So thank you John. Yeah so basically you should be able to just, there's a bunch of statements here and this is more of a fun, it's not like it's a serious test for your personality or character. We just take a few boots on some of the posts just to get us a feeling of who we are and why we are and what we think about livestock. I'm hoping everybody's there, I don't know whether everybody has made it. I'm not seeing anybody having done the first screen yet. Is anybody struggling to find their way? Maybe the questions are very complicated. I can see two people have done so let me, I don't know whether I should share the results for Ray. Okay I can see five people are there and it's more for the fun of it. So what I'm seeing in the results, let me just see the message in the chat that somebody's struggling to find. Complicated questions, yeah sorry Isabel, it's a it's a Wednesday afternoon so we need to be here. So I'm trying to think we see some optimists, we're nine so I'm hoping to get 17 or 18 people to take the survey, the fun survey. You should be able to see the results of my screen for each of the different priorities, the different priorities, each of the different legs of the spider, the webs of the spider. So we're seeing and hang on a moment I think to wait till we get 15 people, up to 12. That's not a surprise but let's see what we're seeing. I'm looking for three more people to take the survey, that's number that's 13, so two more and then maybe we'll have a look to see what's on the screen. So I'm showing the results on my screen, you should be able to see the results on my screen on the zoom if you're also back on backwards and forwards with the mentee. Good we're up to 17, okay that must be almost everybody or not maybe close to everybody. This is not a very scientific method, I know there's a lot of scientists here, always very scared to show something like this. So what are we beginning to see? I don't know, if I ask Isabel, Isabel, you're an economist right, so you know a lot about numbers, do we see a trend of any kind if I look at this diagram Isabel, are you seeing a trend or something we should be curious about? Are you able to see the screen Isabel? Yes I am, yes I think there's definitely, we are here between friends of livestock, isn't it? People who are optimistic, I think it's about livestock offering many many positives. Yes definitely and then the one, the antagonisms I think as well, showing as well that people don't agree with that, with that statement and therefore being very quite low. And then yeah I think very differently, we are amongst friends which is nice but as well we need to be challenged, yeah thank you. Thanks Rizabel, so we also have some boosters and some people there's a bit of 2.5, yeah there's some there's some there's some pessimism and some pessimism in the room as well. Okay you should be able now, I'm going to pass you to the next, you should be here to a second question, so basically it's just the building on that first question, if you can give us your name and I'm hoping you can see the screen, if you're back on the mentee you should see a second screen now. And what I'd like you to do is to add your name and choose one of the traits where you are pessimist, a pragmatist, an antagonist, a booster, an optimist, what's your livestock trait if you think about investing in livestock. I don't know whether anyone's, have you found your way to that screen? Yes George, great, thank you. George, an optimist from Vasafiri, great, so we are on the right screen, if you go back to the mentee and don't a pragmatist or a realist, okay, that's good. Michael's a pragmatist, an anonymous optimist, that's good. I hope you give us your name just to get a sense of who we are and you should be able to just put your name, Marianne, thank you. An optimist and a booster even, okay, yes. Rupesh is an optimist, optimist, realist, okay, so we're an interesting bunch. John, maybe you can elaborate a bit, pragmatist or realist, is there a difference there or what's your thinking there? Well, you've taken down the explanations from the screen so I couldn't remember what a pragmatist, what the example was, but I mean, for me, putting realist there is, you know, it's not about what I want to see, whether I'm an optimist and because I'd love to see more, you know, livestock or pessimists because I'm afraid there'll be less livestock. It's not a question of the realities, you know, the need for livestock in certain places, the inevitability of livestock production, but also the inevitability of change and the need to understand and foresee the changes and reacts to them. Okay, thank you, thank you. Marianne, you're an optimist, so what is boosting, where are you boosting, Marianne? Well, we're working quite strongly through the recently designated International Year for Rangelands and Pastoralists to raise awareness and change narratives. We think that a lot of what's happening here is a mismatched narrative between what is reality and what can be done and what people think livestock are doing to this planet. Okay, thank you. I'm seeing other people that quite a lot of pragmatists optimists, but I see Ian is here from Pasteur, Ian, an optimist. Is that an optimistic pragmatist or a pragmatic optimist? Ian, where are you sitting on all of this? Then we'll go back to the agenda. I think I'm sitting in between, yes. I think we have to have an optimistic outlook, but let's go forward with a pragmatic approach, rather like Marianne in that front, seeing new narratives available, but we need to think about how to situate them within the wider political economy of the policy debate. Okay, thanks. I think most people have heard a few people less this time. I see a lot of optimists and a lot of pragmatists here, so good Michael.  If anybody hasn't had a chance, if you want to stick your name in the chat, if you want to put your name there, tell us who you are and what you work for, that would be good. Sorry, Sylvina, the code didn't quite work. I don't know why not. Great, so Michael, you need to go back, and I think we're handing over to Cynthia. Please stay over to Cynthia. Thank you. Thank you, Peter. Can you hear me well? Yes, we can hear you. Okay, thank you, everyone, and welcome again. And as Bonnie said in her opening, we have been hard at work conceptualizing this third phase of GLAAD, and in the process, we've talked to a lot of individuals within Ilri, outside of Ilri, and some are even in this meeting today. So what we really want to do today with this meeting is to present to you this project that we're calling GLAAD, the third phase of it, for you to confirm by the date and improve our ideas. We want to also explore collaboration, potential, and synergies. We'd really, really like GLAAD to be another avenue or vehicle where you too, in your own institutions, can amplify your work. So we'd like to work with you to amplify also to also further your own agendas. So we really are looking forward to this meeting to be the space where we open communication channels and start working together. So let's see if we can get there by the end of this one and a half hours. Michael can take us through, give us an overview of GLAAD now. You are muted, Michael. Thank you, Isabel. Thank you so much, yeah. I thought I was, I could have talked for a couple of minutes without realizing. Thanks, everybody, and thanks, Bonnie, and Peter and Cynthia for the introductions. I'm just going to take you through an overview of GLAAD and assessment of what has been done in the last six years and kind of a reflection and then how we've organized the third phase based on lessons learned and discussions with partners and stakeholders, as Cynthia mentioned. So our starting points, and I think, again, Bonnie probably mentioned this really well in her own, in her backgrounds. I don't have to say too much, but some of the background and the challenges of livestock are we know well. And overall, there's a strong evidence base that the sector can deliver a range of development outcomes focused on better nutrition, nutrition for women and children, job opportunities, greater empowerment for women, and enhanced resilience and adaptation. We also recognize that what we mean by the multi-solving power of sustainable livestock systems is that it can solve multiple problems at the same time. For instance, we know that for improved production can mitigate the negative effects of livestock. It can help with animal welfare and animal health. And it can also kind of mitigate greenhouse gas emissions or environmental damage. So there's these co-benefits that we see and it can solve multiple problems at multiple times. On the other hand, we also see the impacts of the anti-lifestock and rightly so, some of the concerns they have about livestock and how livestock has been done, particularly in industrialized situations. And we recognize that also kind of in sustainable livestock in low and middle income countries, it doesn't really match the potential that it deserves in a sense. And as we heard from Bunny, we see that there's greater investments in agriculture and some of the other commodities while livestock is one of the fastest growing commodities in low and middle income countries. So we're dealing with this kind of issue of how do we kind of increase investments with all these concerns about livestock as well. So for GLAAD, we really want to be able to grow the intellectual, so it's looking at the discourses, the financial and policy support for the sustainable livestock agenda. And really to show we're not trying to promote or advocate livestock in that sense, as Ilry as particularly as an evidence-based organization, we want to provide a more nuanced view. We want to provide evidence-based advocacy in that sense for bringing the nuance, bringing sides together, bringing groups together and really discussing how do we make livestock better, more sustainable, so it can contribute to different development outcomes, whether that sustainable transformation of food systems or nutrition or health. So again, recognizing that we need to change, but how do we do that and how do we make sure that the livestock is delivering the benefits that it has? So just really briefly, in terms of GLAAD and its evolution, we've been going for six years since 2016. And I think in Ilry, we've really learned ourselves and it's really been a learning-based approach to how we go about advocacy and engaging in all these different kind of processes at the global, national and regional levels. So in the beginning in GLAAD 1, we were really focused on, you know, GLAAD advocacy for development, really focused on evidence generation. So we spent a lot of time looking at the evidence, developing messages and kind of testing out comms and media. And then in 2019, we went to the second phase and this was really about focusing on how do we advance investments in sustainable and equitable livestock systems. And here, we were much more focused on innovative campaigns and communication products, which will take you through, proactive media engagement, and then working with and through ambassadors. I think most of you are on the GLAAD, the GLAAD community network, and we've been able to do a lot more proactive media engagement with a range of people. And again, working with and through ambassadors. So it's better often for us to not just as livestock organizations advocate livestock on our own, but work with and through those who see livestock as a real development solution. And then, again, more conservative influencing, particularly at the number of events, particularly the UNFFS, CFS, and then livestock master plans for people who might not know that acronym. And then particularly in one health because of the pandemic. And as we move into phase three, as you'll see, we're really focusing on three big changes, more strategic interventions, moving from kind of a discourse on the lack of investment in livestock to how do we broker investable solutions, and then more targeted engagement and communications to support these strategic interventions. And really to build alliances with partners like yourselves who are here and strengthen the partnerships that are already there. So just really quickly, some of the self assessment. So as Cynthia said, we've been going through kind of an assessment period and diagnostic and design phase for the last couple of months. And some of the strengths that we've seen is that, like we've mentioned in this phase, we've really had a lot more strategic engagement and partnerships, particularly, I would say at the UNFFS, which really kind of showed the issues that we see within livestock, both the benefits that we see that a lot of groups saw the benefits of livestock, but then a lot of contention even within the livestock sector. We're able to reach out. And that's one of the things with Glad is what we want to reach beyond just livestock related programs or processes and really focus on others. So for nutrition and growth, we've worked with EAT, working with the CFS and the high level panels in the global landscape form. So really reaching beyond just the livestock world and trying to show frame livestock as a sustainable development solution. We've had a lot more diversity of products as you can see that we show here in campaigns. So really kind of trying to hit a little bit more heavy using what we call an evidence-based approach campaigns, but also having more human-based messaging. So using the evidence combined with some of the messaging. We've also mobilized, like we've said, of more diverse champions and ambassadors. And we started to focus on some key narratives that have come up, particularly nutrition, one health and climate adaptation and resilience. We spent a lot of time looking at gender issues and that will be another focus within phase three of how do we mainstream gender and livestock and the development of nexus where we see a lot of benefits. As livestock is a real kind of gender tool to empower gender issues. And then linkages to the national level through livestock master plans and through product development processes where we've had some gains in being able to put some livestock indicators into the product processes. Again, some of the improvements and implications for what we've seen is we've done a lot and we've worked upon a lot of issues. We've identified in our kind of assessment of different narratives and issues and topics more than 10 of them. So we really realize that we need to do better targeting and focus and more explicitly identify priority topics. We need to engage better with partners and collaborators. We really and this is part of this meeting today is to really improve the process of co-creation and be more deliberate about partnerships and make sure that there's complementarity. So making sure that the GLAD agenda can really support your agendas out there as well. And then again this move from kind of just developing a group of livestock champions and a network to really kind of linking livestock champions to investors in brokering solutions. We want to produce communication products as always more smarter and then use metrics as a way to really understand how we're working. So with that, I'll just go over quickly how we've designed GLAD 3 and again we're hoping in the working groups to get a lot of inputs from everybody. If you do have questions or comments put them into the chat and we'll be dealing with them there. I think Peter's looking at those right now as well. So GLAD 3 will be about three years. It's about three million dollars for those three years as well and we're still working out the final steps within the proposal process with the Gates Foundation. So it's not 100% but we feel very confident and hope we will continue on. So the initial value proposition, I think one of the main features of GLAD is the use of the four intervention areas that we've had, which is evidence generation, really synthesizing the evidence and making sure that's our foundation. Targeted communications and then this idea now of brokerage bringing together investors and livestock solutions and champions and then influencing an engagement at different levels. And those are kind of like our four pillars that form the basis of GLAD and it's through this multi-pronged approach that we see increased understanding of livestock role and sustainable development and increased investment and positive policy outcomes hopefully. And we do this by really helping to amplify and elevate the evidence. We're not just advocating blindly but really using the evidence in a nuanced way and looking for issues particularly beyond the livestock sector. So how do we frame livestock again as a sustainable development solution? We want to focus this phase particularly on investable solutions and their uptake and again working with multiple partners beyond research and we want to foster this community of livestock champions as well as take more strategic and impactful engagement approaches. So really focusing on not trying to do so much but really focusing on key areas where we can have bigger impact. Of course. So one of the things that one of the major changes as I mentioned in GLAD 3 is this focus on three core themes plus a global theme. And we went through we've developed we went through and identified about eight to nine narratives or topics that we saw as key and then through kind of a process of discussion with a group you know with everybody. We based it on kind of a couple criteria for how we chose these three areas plus the global area. One is critical for low and middle income countries that it was relevant at global to national levels. Strong potential for investment that we have strong champions in these areas. We have robust evidence as well and that we likelihood that we can actually have some impacts in and make progress in a short time frame. And we want to be nuanced to not just show positive aspects but show some of the trade offs as well. So we came up with these four areas. We have kind of a global area and again we'll be going into working groups to discuss these more about livestock in context with its multiple roles and goals and how do we kind of link it to some of these wider global processes. Looking another sorry another acronym looking at livestock derived foods and safe nutrition and healthy diets and we've done a lot there and I think a lot of you have done a lot of great work there as well so how do we kind of continue that. Something that's coming up a lot is particularly livestock not as a climate problem but really is one of the main climate solutions. So climate change and adaptation and resilience and the role that livestock can play. And then not just looking at rangelands for rangelands sake but again rangelands as one of the key aspects for land restoration looking at land use issues and then biodiversity and looking at how with the role that rangelands can play in biodiversity conservation or even carbon storage and things like that. So these are the four priority areas and these will be addressed again at different levels of intensity in those four intervention approaches that we'll go through. And then from this we developed kind of four work packages and four outcome statements and I'm not going to go through all of these but you'll have these in your working groups as well but it's really most of it's really about targeting investors and donors to grow and share their you know kind of investments and grant portfolios in these different target areas. So we have four kind of work packages again using these these four areas and I'll show you how that kind of plays out in a matrix approach. And again we want to embed gender and gender issues within each of these outcome areas. So to see how this fits together we have again these four interventions approaches just to show you really quickly. Again we have the evidence and you know evidence of the results and the potential returns looking at trade-offs and you know really synthesized evidence bringing together not only ill re-evidence but evidence from around the livestock sector. We want to have powerful communications and again this idea of broker solutions which I'll go over in a bit and then targeted engagement and targeted engagement at different international regional and national levels. And again we're going to apply that at different levels and I'll kind of show you how that works in a second right here. So we have these intervention intensities and our priority issues. So this is just an example but kind of has how we are starting to see that and we want to go over that with you in the working groups but looking something let's say for for land biodiversity and nature in terms of the range lands we really need to build the evidence base and we've discussed that a lot with Fiona and even Ian I think mentioned this on a recent discussion. So you know that will be the focus of a lot of the work is more on the evidence kind of pillar and then maybe in the year in kind of a year or two years time we'll start focusing more on communication whereas with the nutrition we've seen a lot of the great work from the UN nutrition reports and we've seen all the great work from gain as to you know a lot we have a lot of the evidence so it's really more about how do we do the communication focus a little bit more on the brokerage and the influencing. So again just and that's something that we want to go over with everybody to kind of read confirm and get inputs to see how we are seeing you know what we need to focus on in each of these different areas. And then finally I'm just going to go quickly through the brokerage function which for us is something really new and it's really something yeah experimental and we would like to get a lot of input into that. So you know another key functional area is a way to move away from this idea there was this discourse that there's a lack of investment and really understanding how do we connect and better connect you know the livestock champions and solutions to to court you know investors corporate investors entrant to yours and even policy makers. We've seen that there's a disconnect and we've also seen that solutions and livestock are also maybe not framed so greatly for other development purposes. We saw this for example in the last cop where we were working with SEBI and the livestock data for development group where we kind of collated a lot of great solutions for resilience and adaptation but they really weren't framed so appropriately. So you know again it's about connecting but also framing and how do we improve the framing of livestock to show that it's a really interesting solution. And so in this phase we really want to test out this approach for more purposeful interactive and productive matchmaking. How will we do this? We'll do this through kind of a real purposeful approach that focuses on the process in linking people to matchmaking or linking them to different processes or to different groups of people and really trying to focus on that rather than trying to collect all the different solutions that we have in presenting that. So really kind of tailor made matchmaking for different situations in different areas. And we're looking at not just the research innovations but also development innovations that might come from like Heffer or venture 37 from development partners as well and then linking to the private sector and policymakers and investors. And again what we're trying to do we won't try to create our own space but really go to the spaces that are already there. So for instance we know that AGRF has a deal room. How can we work with them to create a really meaningful interaction between livestock solutions and champions and some of the donors going there? We might go to trade fairs or expos. There's also again specific issue processes like COP 27, GLF that we could kind of insert ourselves into or with the UNFFS and National Food System Transformation Pathways. So really trying to find places that we can go to rather than building the field of dreams ourselves. And so again to sum it up in GLAD 3 we're going to be really moving to more of a targeted approach in three areas in the nutrition and food security adaptation and resilience and land and biodiversity. We really want to move from a lack of investment to this matchmaking and to brokerage or an accelerator function with linking livestock champions to investors. And then third really strengthening our alliances with like-minded organizations to really influence and engage in different areas. So thank you. That's it from me. Peter is there any key questions or comments that we have to address at this stage or clarifications? I'm not seeing any. I think we can just go ahead Michael with the next things. I'm not seeing any questions. There were a couple of questions about what is LDF and the difference between LDF and ASF, but that's been covered. So we can go ahead I think. Great. I do. Are you just to introduce the exercise then? So I can do that if you like. So I think you have, is this the slide or is there? Yes. So this is the next slide. So what we're going to do is we're going to break up, Michael's giving us a big picture. So our idea is we would like to break into four groups and we're going to have around 30 minutes and we're going to, I'm just going to post to the link. Yep. Here we go. So we're going to break into 30 minutes and we're going to go to four groups. One group is with kind of looking at the global, the global piece of these are organized around those four outcomes or the four work packages that we talked about. So one group is the global group at Cynthia. We'd like to have a conversation around livestock and that nutrition and food security piece. We'd like to have another group looking at the livestock and climate adaptation, a resilient one around that range lands, the piece of our land and biodiversity. So in each case we have people and we have myself, Michael, Isabel and Cynthia will be kind of combining facilitation, reporturing and we have a few specific questions. I saw a message, Michael, from Isabel saying that someone of the colleagues has a hand up. I don't see that myself, but yeah, so that so let me then either why don't you finish up and then you can, we can break, you know, we're gonna, Mariam can ask her question and then we can break the group. Okay, so let me then introduce it to go to the next slide. So that we got basically what we want to do in the group. So if you go to the next slide, Michael, that's the four groups. Okay, so the group one, this is Cynthia's group and you will discover who you are when you turn up. Here we're really trying to, we have some specific questions for the global group and that's more about around the kind of the approach. How do we best engage with donors with investors? Which topics are we needing to do more leadership effort into? What are some of the key ingredients for this acceleration brokerage and other somatic values that Vlad would bring? So this is specific questions for that group. Maybe the next slide, Michael, for the other three groups. So for the other three groups, we have, these are more kind of topical groups. We're also trying to identify basically if we're working looking for food security, for example, who are the movers and shakers beyond the livestock sector per se, who do we really need to engage with to really leverage greater investment. We like to look at the balance between those different interventions. We talked about the evidence, the communication, the brokerage, the influencing. What's the right balance? Should we be, you know, we kind of hypothesize that all the evidence is there for nutrition? We just have to communicate it. Whereas for rangelands, there's missing evidence. So let's just double check that. Are there any critical upcoming events or processes where we must engage in the coming year or two or three years? And then same question about added values. So that's what we'd like to do. We'd like to go away for half an hour. And Michael's going to break this in. So Michael, you can go, yeah. Over to you. We have a question, I think, Michael, right, from somebody. Yeah. So, Mariam, do you have a quick question that you wanted to ask? Yeah, it's a little bit of a clarifying question or two before we break up. And I'm sorry if I'm a bit slow in the chat. I should have put it into the chat. I do apologize. Let me turn on my video as well. Look, first of all, Michael, thank you so much. It's always great to hear you. You are a great communicator and very much appreciate your speech. And having read the draft concept note as well. So I'm putting those two together with a document that was circulated and your presentation. It leaves me with two key questions. One is that I'm struggling to understand what are we really talking? Who are we talking about? Who are we advocating for? You keep saying livestock. Okay, fine. But you know, you really do have to make this more people-centered. So who are we talking about? Are we talking about small holders? Are we talking about mid-level entrepreneurs who have very different conditions and processes? Are we talking about corporations? And I'm not talking about the investor part yet. That's my second question. I'm talking about who are we trying to help here? I'm sorry, but that just doesn't come out through this. Maybe because I haven't been so so closely focused on GLAD in the past. I do know that the efforts that you led to help the IYRP process were very much small holder focused. Thank you for that and the past realists and so on. But is GLAD 3 going beyond that or what? And I think this is relevant to all three working, all four working groups. We need to know who it is that you still want to advocate for. And that brings me to the question, who are the innovators? What are we talking about? Are these small holder, traditional knowledge innovators who are using modern tools like digital economy and so on to innovate? Or are we talking about a techno-driven kind of innovation in order to multiply production and meet some global presumed goal? Right? So please, if you could give us a few bits of guidance as to how Ilry and Gates Foundation are looking at this. And then my second question very much related is, yeah, you keep talking about investable solutions and the investors. Well, it's quite clear who the donors are. That's usually very clear. But what are we talking about when we say investors? In some parts of the world, large scale investors are very difficult for small holders to work with. In some parts of the world, they have a monopoly over pricing and so on. That's very difficult for small holders. In some parts of the world, for example, in Kenya, in Morocco, in Norway, there are lawsuits against investors putting in renewable energy onto rangelands, for example. So again, what do you have in your mind? What do you envisage when you're saying investors? That would I think help us very much also to do this. I think, and maybe coming back to my first question about who, are we talking about extensive production systems or are we talking about intensive production systems or something in between the mixed systems? So please, it would really help me not sort of coming in cold to better understand your scope. Okay. Thanks. Great. No, those are great questions. And I mean, I think there's two points. I want not to take it away from it, but I think this is something that we could also go into the group. And I think in the groups, you can discuss this, particularly when you talk about who are we advocating for. I think that is going to be different in different situations, but it's really a focus on low and middle income countries. It's a focus on small holders, of course. I think that's something that we all look at. But it could be looking at different aspects of the value chain of where you want to intervene or in the food system itself. There's a lot more talk about that. So who are we advocating for? I would say, of course, it's not for industrial corporations, but it's looking for invest. I think the key words that we have are sustainable livestock systems in all its diversity. And we know that's a huge encompassing term. And that too is that it's equitable and sustainable. So we're looking at equitable investments, as well as targeting equitable solutions and interventions. And I think who are we advocating for? I think it is, I mean, unless Isabel or Cynthia or Peter could correct me if I'm wrong, we're a bunny. But really, at the end of the day, it is for small holders. And it's for the rural or maybe even peri-urban people who are working small holder systems in low and middle income countries. We're not talking about how we're going to change American or Western or European systems. With the rangelands is a good example of a movement that crosses time scales and geographies in terms of like it's not just low and middle income countries, but there's a lot of pastoralists in other countries, but supporting that type of effort. So I think that's, you know, I think you all will have to define that. All of us will define that in these kind of work packages as well. So I think that's a great issue. Investable solutions. And I would say, again, it's like, who are we trying to target? We're trying to target kind of like kind of traditional donors, but new donors. We're looking at, you know, kind of other funds that we could leverage, whether it's kind of green climate funds or whether it's, you know, again, like a private sector that does have corporate social responsibility. I don't think we want to go to OLOM necessarily sometimes or, you know, where there are problems, but we're going to investors private sector that might be looking for sustainable solutions. And again, that has to match up with the advocacy as well. So and also looking at other other sectors where there might be opportunities to unlock funding for livestock, whether that's in the health or nutrition sectors as well. I don't know if Peter or Cynthia or Isabel want to or even Bundy want to add on to that. But I would like to get into the groups that I think you can also work on. These are great questions also for the groups to work on. Anyone else have anything to add? No? I hope that kind of starts to answer your questions, Mariam. And again, I think these are good questions. Isabel, did you want to say something? I see your light on now. Okay. Great. Mariam. And again, we can talk about thank you. I see your thumbs up. So let's break into the groups and really like start to talk together. Thank you. And we'll move into the groups and see you back in about 35 minutes. So what I'd like to do, everybody, before we wrap up is just to reflect a little bit on the conversations we had out in our group. They were quite unlike what I had expected, but very, very rich. So what I'd like to do is just like going to post into the chat one question, a surprising insight. If you can take 10, 20 seconds to think about what your surprising insight is, if you could then post, wait a second, I'll tell you when. If you can type it in the chat, but don't post it yet. Just type it in the chat. What surprising insight came out from your conversation? It might just be an insight. Maybe there wasn't a surprise. I'm going to give you a countdown five, four, three, two, one. If you can now post your surprising insights or insights, perhaps that would be also be fine. Go ahead and post them. I'm not seeing any at the moment. So maybe there were no insights in our groups. We post them now. Just please post your insights. Okay. What are we seeing? Posting the insights. There's quite a range. Cynthia, can you give me a hand? Tell me what we're seeing in these insights. We're getting a whole bunch of them, actually, right? What are we seeing from the insights? Cynthia, can you help me? What are we doing? We are hearing. Marie, I'm saying how to break into the WTO. We are hearing Alex talking about the need to clarify more family, the donor, investor targets, group share, talks about institutions continue to remain important in Rangeland's Saseca. I think I said that. I hope I said that. We need to work with in-country partners, including national government. Karen Smith would say it was great to hear about luxury and it's hard working with us. And has exited pushes another meeting. Namcollo, I can see her comment here. I've lost it again. Isabel is in national policies, a key toward Afghan group of negotiators. Really important, Ali. Okay. I'm going to very quickly post one more very quickly for you. Next second one, this is the last one. Is there a critical gap in our thinking that you've identified or heard or picked up? Is there a critical gap? And Isabel, if you can help me to make sense of this one, a critical gap, if you can take 20 seconds, what's a critical gap that you've identified? Have we missed something completely critical? I'm going to give you another 10 seconds. Thank you very much. Be more people-centered and go ahead. If you can post now and then Isabel will help me to make sense of the critical gaps I'm hoping. Thank you, Mariam. Be more people-centered, okay. Critical gaps. If you could post them now, would be good. Isabel, can you help me with the, okay, now you've posted yours. I was typing, yes. Yeah, so I was focused on, yes, on people. And oh yeah, we did forget a bit of the youth, possibly as well, yeah, how we target them, what kind of evidence they want to see. They changed in habits. The interest is quite different. My kids are all about animal welfare, so I'm sure other youths as well like that. And the evidence, yeah, a lot of, sometimes we have evidence, but not sufficient. And in my group, it was the same as well. We know what people eat in general, but not in specifics. And they are biased transitions. People are changing the way they eat, what they eat, how they eat. And therefore, if you want to provide advice, then you have to think about that, not only what they eat right now, but what other diets, tangential diets. And then, yes, we seem to always be stuck to the same species, milk, eggs, and red meat, but there's also other lifestyle-derived food, and rabbits, and guinea pigs, and things like that. So we should not forget those as well. Okay. Yes. And on the rage lines, highlighting, I think, more positive cases and not only the negative ones, I guess, from what I see here. Thanks, Marianne. I see you saying bye. Oh, you want to speak? No, you want to say bye, yes. And food safety is as well quite important. And then the challenge that Antonio reminded us is, and what do you do when people don't think that livestock is a solution for climate change? Yeah. Thanks. Thanks, Antonio. I think that's a challenge. Okay. I think that was the end of that quick wrap. Michael, do I hand over to you to summarize the meeting and to tell us what happens next? Yeah.  I'm just going to thank everybody for really taking the time to meet with us and kind of give us some inputs into this. We're moving very quickly ahead with the proposal, and we are going to use what we've come up with here to continue to refine and iterate on our kind of concept. And we expect, if everything goes to fruition, that we'll start Glad 3 in July. So we have a couple of months now. If there's things that you feel that you would like to get more in or learn more about, just contact us and we can continue to discuss. I think once we get a better idea of where we are, maybe sometime in May or June, we'd probably start to contact people and start to kind of figure out kind of startups. Again, we'd like to have, you were in a group and part of that work package to continue to have conversations with you to further develop the kind of approach and what we want to do in these different work packages. So I think this is just really the start to the conversation rather than getting inputs and then see you in three years or something. Yeah, we really see this as the start and we'll continue this over the course. I think everybody, if everybody's on, just wanted to, you know, the Glad livestock degroup. I hope everyone's on there. I think everybody is, if I see the leftovers we have here, but if not, let us know and maybe we'll send out an email on that. We'll also send maybe the final proposal or any kind of comments once we have that kind of officialized with the gates. And with that, I think again, thank you a lot. It's always great to have these conversations and hopefully we can see everybody in person at some point in the near future as well. Thank you very much.


So, welcome to the 13th session on the course on signals and systems. Let us take a quick moment to recapitulate the important result that we saw in the previous session. It was obtained by a small rearrangement of the shifting property. So, let us recapitulate that idea. We had said that an integral from minus infinity to plus infinity x t delta t minus t 0 gave us x at t 0. And we noted that we could choose delta t symmetric about 0. So, we could choose delta t like this. I am showing delta as a function of another variable which we call lambda. And here of course I must clearly make it a delta s capital delta to emphasize the point that it is spread over an interval of delta. So, delta delta lambda is equal to delta capital delta of minus lambda. So, it is an even function of lambda. And therefore, we said that delta delta t minus t 0 is equal to delta delta t 0 minus t. And therefore, we came to the important conclusion that integral from minus to plus infinity x t delta delta t 0 minus t. Of course, here the integral was with respect to t and here that is also with respect to t is equal to x at t 0. If you have this integral should have been with respect to t that is all right that is understood. But now you see there is something important that we should note here. You see the meaning of this equation here, this equation and this equation here have a totally different meaning. The first equation says that when I multiply x t with delta delta t minus t. So, when I multiply a continuous function with a narrow pulse and integrate it keeping that pulse of unit area I get essentially pick up or shift the value of the input or the function x t at the point at which the pulse is located. Look at the second equation. The second equation says something totally different. It says if you take t 0 now to be the variable. So, we will now think of t 0 as the basic variable by which the function is indexed. And this is the variable of integration t here. This is the variable of integration. So, what we are saying is now take any particular point t. t 0 is the index variable on the input. So, what we are saying is if you take the value of the function x at a particular point t which is x at t and multiply it by a narrow pulse which is essentially centered around any point t 0 and take a sum over all such t and that sum becomes an integral in the limit. A totally different interpretation. Listen carefully. I am repeating it. Let us look at the equation again. Any particular point t, the value of the input at that point t and impulse or a pulse for the moment not an impulse, a pulse placed at the point t with the indexing variable t 0. What I mean by the indexing variable is the variable with which with respect to which you describe the function x, integrated over all t. Now, the integral here should be interpreted as a limit of a sum. So, integral is essentially a limit of a sum. So, you know you could think of it like this. You could think of it as x at some t 1 delta delta t 0 minus t 1 plus x at some t 2 delta delta t 0 minus t 2 plus and so on. Take these t 1 t 2 t 3 and so on as close as you can make them. In fact, what we are saying is let me show it graphically. You know you must understand the same thing in many different ways. So, let us show it graphically. What we are saying is pick a t 1 here, pick a t 2 there, pick a t 3 there and this variable is t 0. That is what I mean by the index variable. Put a pulse here, put a pulse there, put a pulse here and this width as you know is delta. That is why we are calling it delta capital delta. This height would now be 1 by delta multiplied by x at t 1. Now, do the same thing at t 2. Let us use a different color there. So, again you have a width of delta here and a height of 1 by delta times x at t 2 here. And once again put another pulse here with delta height 1 by delta times x at t and so on. Now, visualize putting pulses at every t 0. So, you know here you have x at t 1, you have x at t 2 and so on. And maybe you have a function that goes let me show that function in some let us say the red color. You have some continuous function here which goes like this perhaps. This is actually you know graphically we are trying to show 1 by delta times x of t 0 here. Visualize putting pulses at every t 0. And now because you have a continuum of pulses you see there are not discrete points, but there is a continuum of pulses at every point there is a pulse so to speak. And all these pulses need to be combined and their combination leads you into the function x at t 0 under the integral sign. So, you see the integration is required because you have unit area contained in each pulse. So, go back to the diagram. So, you visualize putting pulses at every t 0. And now one more thing you need to do is to visualize delta going towards 0. I know this requires a little bit of work you know you do need to visualize first an infinity a continuum of pulses and then you need to visualize each of those pulses becoming smaller and smaller in widths and all coming together under integration. And then what we are saying in this equation let us write that equation again. What we are saying in this equation namely x at t 0 is equal to now here I intentionally show it in a different color x will show the variable of integration in a different color. So, x of t and then delta delta. So, here t 0 I will keep as it is and then minus we have a variable of integration again. So, here this makes a totally different statement. This says that every function is a combination of an infinite number of such pulses such very narrow pulses. This is a very important idea. Now these very narrow pulses that we are talking about here. So, these very narrow pulses with a height of 1 by delta and and a width of delta which means they enclose an area of 1 area enclosed with delta into 1 by delta which is 1. The area remains intact even as the pulse becomes narrower that is delta tends to 0. This ever narrowing pulse is a new idea to us and we shall talk about it more in the session to come. Thank you.


Pope Francis has met with a Colombian nun who was freed after being kidnapped by Islamist militants in Mali four years ago. The Vatican said in a statement that Francis spoke to Sister Gloria Cecilia Naves just before he said mass in St. Peter's Basilica. Her release was announced by the presidency in Mali on Saturday. But the timing and other details were not clear. Kidnapping has been a lucrative source of cash for Islamist groups in West Africa's Sahel region. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

Welcome to the Everton News Daily. Sean Dyche has given an update on the injury to Idrissa Ghanagade, the Senegalese midfield player that was named in the Everton start on Saturday for the Bournemouth game, but felt an injury in the warm-up and therefore missed the Everton's 3-0 victory. The Blues boss gave an update on the status of Ghanagade's injury after the game. He's got injured in the warm-up. We weren't too much away, so yesterday it was a bit sore, but we thought he'd be all right, and then once he was in the warm-up his heel was sore, so I'm going to have to... obviously it's too early yet to see if that's going to be one of them that settles down quickly or not. I overplayed the update there. He just said he's got a sore heel, didn't he? But you know, I'm just keeping it informed. The manager was delighted with an understandably show at Everton's 3-0 victory, the first home win of the season, the first clean sheet we've had since we beat Bournemouth 132 days prior to the game at the weekend. This is what Sean Dyche said about the victory and the performance. I don't... other than the score lines, I think there's been a few complete performances I've been talking about it, but obviously it doesn't have the same strength when you don't win. So I'm very pleased with the players, and I'm not saying it's a complete performance, but it's certainly a very good one and certainly a winning performance. That's a given, I think, on that level of performance. The place I didn't think for me is the calmness of the players to take the game on again. You know, question marks start getting out when you create so many chances, you don't score. So it's pleased to stay calm, deliver another very good performance and of course get the goals to reward the players first, but the fans as well for their support. James Garner scored his first Premier League goal at the weekend. This was his first Premier League goal for Everton. In a man of the match performance, thought he was outstanding alongside Amadou O'nana in the Blues midfield. There's been a little bit of discussion over his position because obviously Everton have used him or Sean Dyche has used him on the right-hand side, particularly for home games. I don't think he's suited at all, but he's been excellent the last two games he's played in the centre of midfield. He was installed in there on Saturday in the start on 11 before Adrisha Garner gave it in. He would have been in there with Adrisha, but he played alongside Amadou O'nana. The manager has been pleased with his progress and this is what he has to say about James Garner. Really good signs of that today and he's will and demand on himself as a team player as well. He'll continue to grow and mature without a doubt. Following on from Saturday, well it wasn't following on Saturday, prior to Saturday's 3-0 win against Bournemouth. Josh Wander of the 777 group sent an email to Everton season ticket holders and members outlining 777's intentions on what they wanted from this proposed takeover. It was a little bit of a surprise to me because the takeover hasn't been accepted by the Premier League. I understand and the actual email was quite good, the context of it, what was in it was good. I thought it said a lot of things that we'd want to hear as fans. They put in the email, Josh Wander put in the email that he was confident that it would be approved to take over. But I just found it a little bit curious that they have done that before receiving approval from the Premier League. But fair enough, fair enough, so there is some communication. I think that is a good thing, it can only be a good thing that they are communicating with the supporters. Following on from that, the fan advisory board have released a list of questions that they've been asked to present to 777. You can find that online actually and I think it's on the fabbed website as well if you want to see a copy of those questions that are going to 777. Check that out. And finally, Evans women were beaten 1-0 by Leicester on Sunday a goal from Peterman. The difference there, the women are next in action on Wednesday the 11th of October against Manchester City in the League Cup. That is it for the news daily.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has specific requirements for the design, construction and operation of nuclear power plants to ensure that those plants can withstand earthquakes that might be expected in their area. Those regulations are based on the safe shutdown ground motion, which means the level of vibration safety related structures and equipment at a plant must endure during a seismic event and still function. That ground motion number varies from nuclear plant to nuclear plant based on the geology of the area, its seismic history and specific geotechnical information or the way engineers use geology to determine building requirements. Two events in 2011 only a few months apart highlighted the importance of the NRC's seismic regulations. In March 2011, a 9.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Japan caused a tsunami that disabled power supplies and cooling to several nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Station. Important safety structures and equipment were largely undamaged by the earthquake's ground motion, but flooding from the tsunami created major problems. In August 2011, a much smaller earthquake measuring 5.8 in magnitude occurred near Mineral Virginia close to the North Ana Nuclear Station. The plant exceeded some ground motion levels for which it was licensed and both North Ana units safely shut down. Detailed reviews and inspections by Dominion, the plant operator and the NRC confirmed there was no damage to safety equipment and both North Ana units were given permission to restart in November 2011. These two events provided valuable insight into how nuclear plants might withstand an actual earthquake and provided important information the NRC is using to improve its regulations and ensure the safety of U.S. nuclear plants. That gave us some understanding and confidence that the seismic margin, which is the level of capacity that a plant has beyond to the level of shaking that it experienced, is actually truly what we had been calculating. NRC seismologists have worked closely with NRC inspectors, licensed reviewers and others within the agency to apply the real-world lessons of Fukushima and North Ana to all other U.S. nuclear plants. That effort included NRC teams walking through the nuclear plants to look at important structures, systems and components and determine if there were any potential issues with how that plant might fare during an earthquake. In addition to information from the two actual earthquakes, the NRC continually works to make sure potential earthquake hazard information for all nuclear plants is as up-to-date and as accurate as possible. A major effort in that area began several years before the earthquakes in Japan and Virginia. That analysis confirmed that the country's nuclear plants remain safe and although the overall seismic risk is low, some plant estimates may have increased and are getting further NRC attention. Over the next few years we'll take a look at that hazard and do risk assessments also for the plant to determine if upgrades are needed or determine if further equipment needs to be upgraded or additional work needs to be done. So it's an ongoing effort, very extensive, very thorough and we're confident that we will determine that the plants continue to be safely operated. Because I do work here and I see the way that the performance criteria and the performance levels and the care that's given into our assessment that we're doing for these plants. And I think that my own level of confidence or comfort is definitely getting stronger as we're going through this recommendation 2.1 process where we're doing a very thorough job of putting numbers and risk numbers and new hazard numbers against these plants. Fortunately the seismic risk for most U.S. nuclear plants is very low and all plants are designed to withstand the ground motions expected in that area. However the NRC continues to examine information from actual earthquakes and review improved predictive models as well as inspect current plants, those under construction and those still in the design phase to be certain that people living near U.S. nuclear plants are protected.


Hey everybody, my name is Josh Levitan. I'm the senior instructor of Cybertrading University and here I'm going to break down everything happening within the crypto space and in particular Bitcoin. I know that a lot of folks are kind of in hysteria and wondering where Bitcoin is going to drop down to if this is the end of the drop-off and if it's going to begin to push back up at this point. Are we still in a bull market? What to watch out for across the next three to six months. So I'm kind of here to break down everything for you right now. Now before we go any further, just do me a quick favor. If you enjoy crypto education, stock market education in general, make sure to like and subscribe right to our YouTube channel here, youtube.com slash CybertradingU. And at the end of this video, if you wanted to learn more about what we offer at Cybertrading University, just go right down to our website on the link on the banner below of this video to get yourself started. Now when it comes to the analysis of Bitcoin, there's a bunch of different avenues that we could look to take. I'm going to cover a few different points here and to begin, no better place to start than just basic charting and support resistance. So for right now, just take note that you can see from back at the end of 2020, Bitcoin ended up breaking its all-time high right around 18,000 and change at the time. I drew lines right off of 20, as well as this consolidation area here at 19.5. From that point, of course, you could see Bitcoin took off. It ended up topping off right around major resistance around 40 to 41,000, ended up then breaking out higher later on right around April-May time of 2021 topped off right around 65,000 before it pulled back, but look where it ended up holding support over time. You could see here this next larger red line created a major support off of 29, roughly 30,000. So you could see where some of the thicker red lines created the bigger levels and some of the smaller dashed red lines are actually the midway points between those key support resistances. One talking point is actually from back in early to mid-September. We ended up seeing Bitcoin top off right around 50 to 5, and then going into early to late December, pretty much throughout the end of last year, ended up holding right back under that same peak, that 50 to 5 area. That's actually the midway point right between 65 and 40,000. So from that point, ended up holding that midway as a major resistance before it dropped off. And actually, as we're watching this live across the last 8 to 12 hours, we ended up seeing Bitcoin drop as low as under 34,000, but it's actually still kind of holding above the midway point line between 40 and 29,000 major support across 2021. Dipping into the technicals aspect of trading, I'm a big fan of EMAs in particular, especially with Bitcoin, with as volatile as it is. So on the 4-hour chart, what I'll show here to begin is the 100 EMA, and then the 200, and then lastly the 500. So for right now, you could see Bitcoin strayed pretty far away from all of these, and in particular recently, the 100 EMA, it's really started to kind of stray away from, accelerate from at least here. The last time it did that was back in the beginning of December, where it ended up beginning to break under the 500 here, after a couple of different tests of breaking support, it re-broke the 500 here and then led to a bigger shake. Well, from that point, you could see it ended up leading to a nice squeeze back up at first. So will this acceleration from the 100 EMA lead to a similar squeeze back up? This time, I'm not really led to believe so, and the reason I say that is because, well, dipping into a more macro chart in terms of the daily, you could see the 500 EMA was holding really well going into the summer of 2021, going into the end of last year, but most recently ended up breaking under the 500 EMA heading into January. So, you know, we were calling this out in our live trading room just the fact that this would begin to pull back towards the 500 EMA once again and perhaps begin to break under it a bit. Now, where I was personally wrong with that was the fact that I thought this break of the 500 EMA, I didn't think it would be as extensive as we're seeing right now. I thought that we would tend to see a bit of a break under it, probably a bit of chop and consolidation for a little while, and then for it to begin to slam back up and begin to resume the bull rally. So, I was clearly wrong with that, but what I want to show on that is, well, we have to improvise. And, you know, it's not just me saying that I'm wrong. It's the fact that, well, once we happen to see a major support level break, we would expect that major support to turn into resistance. Look what happened going back into mid-May when Bitcoin ended up breaking under the 100, then eventually the 200 EMAs, it ended up holding the 200 as resistance for a little while for just over the next month and a half, two months. And then you could see heading back into this year, we ended up seeing Bitcoin begin to break under the 500, leads me to speculate that with as big of a drop as we're seeing here under the 500, that I would only anticipate the 500 EMA to act as resistance over time.  Now, one of our key philosophies at Cybertron University is to follow the smart money, to follow the big money, to follow the big institutions and market makers out there that are driving an equity up or down. So for that, we tend to look at order books, look at the interaction between the buy and sell orders, as well as once they tend to get filled, we read the tape, you know, old school ticker tape, reading the time and sales window. So recently there's been a website that I ended up finding across crypto Twitter called Trading Light, and this website provides a nice heat map in relation to the orders that are presently out there across the bid in the ask. So we'll tend to make new videos across this year, you know, showing how this website works, how this platform works in particular, but here's what I'd like to show. And, you know, this is a bit of concern for my end here. We ended up seeing, going back into the end of 2020, beginning of 2021, not only Bitcoin take off and skyrocket here once it broke, it's all time high. But we ended up seeing major players out there stack the bid up, these major orders on the bid, you know, practically every, you know, a few hundred dollars or maybe every fifty dollars, if that, these dashed red lines here that you could see create major levels of support. So these are orders for around 200 to 300 Bitcoin, and perhaps even more right here at 246 and change, you could see just over 500 Bitcoin at that price level, and it's there for an extended period of time. You know, notice how far, how long these horizontal lines extend to. So you could see for, you know, about a month or so, those orders were out there presently on the FTX futures order book. Well, it ended up pushing Bitcoin up quite a bit. Over time, though, we stopped seeing that support, and that's okay if we happen to see continuous buying interest as we happen to see orders from the S getting filled. But eventually, once we happen to see the orders from the S stop getting filled, once we happen to see less interest from the buyers out there. If there's not as much support showing from the bid, that's what's going to allow more of a freefall. So we ended up still seeing some more local, you know, volume on the bid around 54-2 here at the time, 55 as it was still pushing up. But off of this major shake, I wanted to show you this because this was pretty interesting to me. We ended up seeing more support continue to show on Bitcoin on the bid. Again, this is the FTX futures order book that we're looking at. But right around 50,000, 51,052, just about, we're still seeing big support of around 300 plus Bitcoin at a lot of these price levels here. Well, over time, heading back into the end of November, early December, we ended up seeing those orders getting pulled, right? And over time, just a few days later, we ended up seeing Bitcoin create this big drop where it ended up dropping down as low as 41,000, right? So, you know, from that point, what's happened? We ended up seeing more support begin to show here right around the 40 level here and just under. But over time, part of those orders ended up getting pulled, part of those orders ended up getting hit, and we haven't really seen much support since. We haven't seen really any major support pop up over the last couple of weeks.  So you could see some support beginning to develop beginning from the back from the beginning of January here right around 33.3, 33.5 or so. So if we happen to see more stack up there, perhaps I'd be a little bit more convinced of a potential support level building. But otherwise, there's not much else out there that's looking that, you know, not much of a big support as far as the bid, as far as the bid. So this will leave you to ask where will Bitcoin continue to drop down to, especially if this fails to hold its support right around this 33, 33.5 area. So that's where we could take more of a macro look and look more towards the monthly chart actually for this. And for anyone that first started buying Bitcoin when it was around 50,000, 60 obviously, or even right around 40, you're not going to be too happy with what I'm going to show you here. So hopefully this does not happen, but I'm preparing myself emotionally and financially at least for this. So should we happen to, you know, have this as our bull market top? And to be transparent, I certainly was not expecting myself for 69,000 to be the bull market top within the cycle, much like a lot of us within the crypto space, crypto Twitter space, that is. You know, you research and do your analysis and, you know, study a lot of folks that do their analysis and they were expecting Bitcoin to top off over 100K. And that's what I was expecting at least in saying throughout our afternoon meetings in our live trading room. So, hey, let's improvise.  What if this is the top? Well, let's see what history says because the last time Bitcoin topped off back at the end of December of 2017, it ended up topping off right around 19,000, 19,6. And it pulled back all the way down towards an eventual low here at the time of just over 31,300. So that actually made for an 84% pullback or retracement off that high. And if you go back towards 2014 here where Bitcoin first made its, you know, major top right over 1,000 bucks, it topped off at 1163 here at the time, what ended up dropping as low as 15240. That's actually as low as an 86.7% retracement. So, what would an 85 or 84 or 86% retracement look like if 69,000 here is the top? Well, I did a little calculation and that line, let me just draw that for you here. That line, 85, 84, 86%, roughly that's going to be right around 11,000, 10,067 here. That number actually represents an 85.41% retracement from the $69,000 price here. Why 85.41%? That's actually the average between these two. So, you know, just to say at least if history repeats itself, we could see Bitcoin drop as low as around 10, 11,000. So, you know, I wouldn't be too much for the fan of that myself as I've been buying Bitcoin from, I think, 8,900 beginning from here and accumulating over time.  When it pulled back to 41,000, I told a lot of us inside our live trading room that I was buying at that time and I did. So, trust me, I'm not going to be a fan of that move should that come to fruition. But otherwise, though, in terms of looking at some of the EMAs on the monthly chart, look at the 100. The 100 EMA here is in orange and with Bitcoin just kind of beginning to trade back from 2011, you know, the 100 EMA here is just kind of beginning to show dating back to November of 2019 and it has never been tested yet. So, as far as a major support level in terms of an EMA, the 100 EMA on the monthly would have to be, in my opinion, a major support level to watch over time. So, for right now, that 100 EMA is just right around 14,000, 14,141. So, over time as Bitcoin begins to drop, we should expect to see that act as a key support level in the near future. Lastly, in terms of a technical that I want to show and just quickly go over before we finish this video, you know, basic RSI right here on the bottom, but also what's called the TSI, the True Strength Index, something that I've been using across the last two to three months myself with certain crypto swing plays. But it combines very well with the MACD and the RSI. It's basically a combination of them both. But with kind of using these two together, I want to show where, you know, you could have identified a strong bottom within Bitcoin across the last, you know, five to ten years here. So, with the TSI, simply note just when we happen to see this begin to kind of hit this bottom right around, I guess the value is negative 20, that's when Bitcoin began to kind of bottom out here. And when the blue line ended up beginning to break over the red, that's when we really began to see, you know, the bounce begin to build here within Bitcoin. And the same thing happens going back into the beginning of 2019, end of 2018, beginning of 2019, when the TSI ended up bottoming out right around that same valuation, right around negative 19-ish, negative 20 or so here. And then shortly after, once the blue line crossed over the red, that typically does signal more of a bullish reversal or at least more of a reversal off the bottoms there to see a bit of a move back up. So, using that with the RSI as the RSI itself ended up kind of hitting 30 oversold area. Again, on a monthly chart, this is something to put more weight on. Using an RSI on a four-hour chart, an hourly chart, a six-hour chart even daily, it's not going to be as resourceful as it would be on a monthly. So, pretty interesting to see once the RSI here bottomed out right around 30, we ended up seeing Bitcoin begin to make its bottom here and then eventually bounce. So, what's to watch for between the RSI and TSI? Well, RSI right now is right around 40, closing in just under right now. So, we'll have to wait towards officially the end of this month here, the next eight to nine days roughly before we see the RSI on the January close here. But otherwise, it's to say that with the TSI, I would like to see this begin to pull back more right around negative 19, negative 20, where it previously bottomed out back from 2019 and back from 2015 here even. So, that's something I'm personally watching out for across the next two, three, four months. With the way the overall market is moving, the major US indices, if we happen to see continuation within the NASDAQ and the S&P, I'd only anticipate Bitcoin to follow it, whether it continues to move faster on the way down with those or whether it kind of holds its strength as everything is dropping off. We'll kind of monitor everything and see what happens over time. But in terms of at least anticipating this to be the potential top within the bull market, notice how long it took for Bitcoin to hit its bottom. It was just about a year and a month or so. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Twelve bar sequence from peak to bottom here, right? So, if 69,000 here was the top dating back to November of 2021, right here indicates just about a year later. So, in the anticipation of 69,000 being the absolute top for right now, perhaps we can anticipate the bottom to be right around November of 2022. And if history repeats itself, that bottom could be right around 10, 11,000, roughly an 85 or so percent retracement from that peak. I don't mean to scare anyone when I show this information, folks, because, again, I've been accumulating Bitcoin back from April of 2020 myself when it was just pushing 10,000. So, I certainly don't hope for this to be the case, but I want to educate everyone else out there, especially those that are new to not just crypto, but just managing their money, putting their money in positions that, ultimately, hey, you control your money, but you don't control the ticker that you invest in, right? Bitcoin is, or was, a trillion-dollar asset. And at this point right now, there's plenty of other folks that know a lot more about Bitcoin than you do, than I do myself. So, we have to just think about all options as far as if Bitcoin continues to kind of bottom out. Hey, guys, I appreciate you taking the time to watch this video.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So this will be the spoiler for your view for bodies bodies bodies This is the latest 824 horror movie horror comedy movie. I'll label it and it's directed by Helena rain written by Sarah DeLoppey and This movie is following or centered on a group of friends if you can even call them that It's in an isolated family mansion a group of rich 20-somethings decide to play bodies bodies bodies a game where one of them is secretly a killer While the rest try to escape things take a turn for the words when real bodies start turning up setting off a paranoid and dangerous Chain of events so Bodies bodies bodies Honestly, this is a very disappointing movie if you want a good slasher who done it But it's also a very funny movie if you just want to watch a mixed bag of buzzword Buzzword heavy dialogue or hit or miss performances. It's literally a mixed bag of all those things It is very self-aware for sure it wastes no time referencing all the current trends like Tinder Twitter and TikTok for instance The characters are highly unlikeable across the board. I see what everyone was talking about in some other reviews I saw you literally are giving no reason whatsoever to like these characters It's just that they all are very interesting the personalities that are given to each of them and The glimpses of solid acting that you have in the movie keep you engaged for the long haul The movie honestly again It's just really you in by keeping you engaged on just how incompetent will these characters prove themselves to be and then it builds to this Final twist that's taking one last jab at Gen Z since we know this was the target audiences was marketed as the scream for Gen Z Scream is the superior movie. I don't think anyone's shocked to hear me say that Seriously though the performances again, they're very hit or miss as is the dialogue I'll go into the cast really quick before I continue We have Amanda Stenberg who stars as Sophie Maria Balcovoo stars as be Mia Haraad I might be saying her name wrong who stars as Jordan Rachel Senate who was the standout to me stars as Alice chase wonders stars as Emma Pete Davidson who I was completely shocked at how good he actually was in this movie stars as David and then Lee pay stars as Greg all of these characters have almost no reason to be friends with each other besides inflating their own eagles due to their status in society and If this movie set out to illustrate that your group of friends are actually snakes in the skies Then job well done because there are a lot of groups like this where these people really have no real business to be friends other than Yeah, just again how inflate their own feeling of self-worth in their economic status. So Sophie is a recovering addict. She is one of our main leads Then you have when I say she's a recovering addict. You can literally think rule from euphoria Be is Sophie's girlfriend and then you have Sophie's friends who make up with the rest of the supporting cast This movie does a great job of just at establishing that these people have no reason to trust one another There's several different things that get brought up as far as secrets and drama that give you reason to see why they don't trust each other But then it also is like okay. Well, why are these people even friends? It's like literally a friendship dynamic that I think might have been good at one point just completely unraveling for the majority of this movie So the final twist really just kills any kind of tension that existed prior the performances are not that great They're not like Hornsly bad or anything. I will say that because I've already talked about some solid performances the Again, the performances aren't that great Especially during the final act where you'll probably wish the movie ended 10 minutes ago and be thinking that the two people You have on your screen left probably shouldn't even be here You probably will wish they didn't get as much focus as they as they got in the movie And since everyone is sharing the screen for so much in the movie It's really hard to care about anyone in the group and their development is pretty much non-existent as a result as well But when they are all unlikable, I guess that takes care of that. Anyway, I guess Pete Davidson delivers one of the best monologues I've heard all year in regards to current social trends People shaping themselves around those trends to fit in and just an overall spot-on dialogue that many people will say Yep, that's Gen Z in a nutshell. I wouldn't say I like the movie, but it's not the worst thing ever It's satire again, of course more than anything and it just didn't really strike a core with me Unfortunately, there are moments of this movie that I really enjoyed and it does have some some highlights but it also has a lot of like Things that make you cringe and just be like, uh, why is this still on my screen? Some moments are funnier than or funnier than others So job will done in the humor department Sadly the dialogue does become so buzzword heavy and politically driven that the humor gets old pretty quick as the movie goes on Pacing wise, I would say bodies bodies bodies is able to deliver an engaging story that does drag at certain points And there are like some sequences like for starters one sequence at the beginning That I felt that was dragging off for way too long involving two people kissing. So It's just never a dull moment there. It really doesn't drag once it gets to that middle acting There's no dull moments in between So I will commend the movie for successfully building tension and keeping you guessing even though by the end It's like, ah, well, I guess this was all for nothing The writing definitely nails it with how it depicts Gen Z Even though not everyone in G because I'm I'm in Gen Z not everyone in this generation acts like this So for someone like me, that's probably that's probably why a lot of what was on my screen is very unattractive to look at And again, a lot of moments were more cringey to me than others So but it is this funny. It is funny. It's again engaging It has a good enough amount of gore and thankfully there are some stand-up performances like Pete Davidson and Rachel Senate who is just so incredible in her role I wish we got to see more of her character and flesh that character out a little bit more Although at times due to the direction of the movie It makes it seem like she was out of place with some of the way She was acting because I'm thinking of one sequence in a gym. I believe they were in where The performance is in the line delivery. It's just so Awful that it takes me out of the movie at times and I think many of you will be in the same boat The movie honestly is just a big giant recognition of gen z This movie is spot on with certain things that happen right now as far as the current climate in the social community economics everything else But if you want to call this movie woke, this would probably be the best movie to deem woke. There really is no Qualities about this movie that I I think I would want to revisit outside of again Maybe down the road saying hey, you know, I'll watch bodies bodies bodies again It wasn't the worst thing I've seen but it also just was not all that good I will say if I'm being honest if you want to know what my rating for this is I'm giving it a 5.5 out of 10. I'm very in the middle with this movie So many things where I saw I saw hope But then a lot where it was just constantly dragging itself back down And I don't think I'm missing the point of the movie I just think that the movie's point might have been a little bit too heavy-handed the humor probably was a little bit too Too heavy and they probably should have leaned more onto the horror aspects of it Because there is some moments of great tension building, but then there's this final twist It's like one final middle finger. I would say the gen z That's just like oh, well, that was all for nothing But let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below if you have an array, of course Make sure you subscribe turn on post of kids your name is video in the description I'll have the links to my social media accounts on facebook sort of instagram You can message me there, of course Limit is any movies or reviews like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video


So I was saying that instead of asking, then can you also give to God? So many times you keep hearing people saying, what can I do to make it up to this? I mean we can't pay God, but we can pay Him through our worship, we can pay Him through our communion and fellowship with Him and consistency and being true to Him. So that is basically what Tenama says, it's a love song to God. Oh wow, powerful. Yes, and I love the song as well, and the video.
