My name is Jeffrey Sachs. I am University Professor at Columbia University. I'm a specialist in the global economy, including global trade, finance, infrastructure, and economic statecraft. I appear before the UN Security Council on my own behalf. I represent no government or organization in the testimony that I will deliver. The destruction of the Nord Stream Pipelines on September 26, 2022 constitutes an act of international terrorism and represents a threat to the peace. It is the responsibility of the UN Security Council to take up the question of who might have carried out the act in order to bring the perpetrator to international justice, to pursue compensation for the damaged parties, and to prevent future such actions. The consequences of the destruction of the Nord Stream Pipelines are enormous. They include not only the vast economic losses related to the pipelines themselves and their future potential use, but also the heightened threat to transboundary infrastructure of all kinds, submarine internet cables, international pipelines for gas and hydrogen, transboundary power transmission, offshore wind farms, and more. The global transformation to green energy will require considerable transboundary infrastructure, including in international waters. Countries need to have full confidence that their infrastructure will not be destroyed by third parties. Some European countries have recently expressed concern over the safety of their offshore infrastructure. For all of these reasons, the investigation by the UN Security Council of the Nord Stream Explosions is a high global priority. The destruction of the Nord Stream Pipelines required a very high degree of planning, expertise, and technological capacity. The Nord Stream 2 Pipelines are a marvel of engineering. Each section of pipe is rolled steel of 4.5 centimeters thickness, and with a pipeline internal diameter of 1.15 meters. The pipe is encased in concrete of 10.9 centimeters thickness. The weight of each section of concrete encased pipe is 24 metric tons. The Nord Stream 2 Pipelines, some 1,200 kilometers in length, contain around 200,000 pipes. The pipelines sit on the seafloor. Destroying a pipeline of heavy rolled steel encased in concrete at depths of 70 to 90 meters requires a highly advanced technology for transportation of the explosives, diving to install the explosives, and detonation. To do so undetected in the exclusive economic zones of Denmark and Sweden adds greatly to the complexity of the operation. As a number of senior officials have publicly confirmed, an action of this sort must have been carried out by a state level actor. Only a handful of state level actors have both the technical capacity and access to the Baltic Sea to have carried out this action. Including the United States, Russia, the United Kingdom, Poland, Norway, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden, either individually or in some combination. Ukraine lacks the necessary technologies as well as access to the Baltic Sea. A recent report by the Washington Post revealed that the intelligence agencies of the NATO countries have privately concluded that there is no evidence whatsoever that Russia carried out this action. This also comports with the fact that Russia had no obvious motive to carry out this active terrorism on its own critical infrastructure. Indeed, Russia is likely to bear considerable expenses to repair the pipelines. Three countries have reportedly carried out investigations of the Nord Stream terrorism, Denmark, Germany, and Sweden. These countries presumably know much more about the circumstances of the terrorist attack. Sweden in particular has perhaps the most to tell the world about the crime scene, which its divers investigated. Yet instead of sharing this information globally, Sweden has kept the results of its investigation secret from the rest of the world. Sweden has refused to share its findings with Russia and turned down a joint investigation with Denmark and Germany. In the interest of global peace, the UN Security Council should require these countries to immediately turn over the results of their investigations to the UN Security Council. There is only one detailed account to date of the Nord Stream destruction, the one recently put forward by investigative journalist Seymour Hirsch, ostensibly based on information leaked by Hirsch by an unnamed source. Hirsch attributes the Nord Stream destruction to a decision ordered by US President Joe Biden and carried out by US agents in a covert operation that Hirsch describes in detail. The White House has described Hirsch's account as, quote, completely and utterly false, unquote, but did not offer any information contradicting Hirsch's account and did not offer any alternative explanation. Senior US officials made statements before and after the Nord Stream destruction that showed the US animus towards the pipelines. On January 27, 2022, Undersecretary of State Victoria Newland tweeted, quote, if Russia invades Ukraine one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward, end quote. On February 7, President Biden said, quote, if Russia invades again, then there will be no longer Nord Stream 2, we will bring an end to it, end quote. When asked by the reporter how he would do that, he responded, quote, I promise you we will be able to do it, end quote. On September 30, 2022, immediately following the terrorist attack on the pipeline, Secretary of State Antony Blinken declared that the destruction of the pipeline is, quote, also a tremendous opportunity. It's a tremendous opportunity to once and for all remove the dependence on Russian energy and thus to take away from Vladimir Putin the weaponization of energy as a means of advancing his imperial design, end quote. On January 28, 2023, Undersecretary Newland declared in testimony to Senator Ted Cruz in the US Senate, quote, I am and I think the administration is very gratified to know that Nord Stream 2 is now, as you like to say, a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea, end quote.  I hope that the United States, together with all other Security Council members, will condemn this act of international terrorism and join together in an urgent UN Security Council-led investigation of this international crime in order to determine the truth. The truth is not yet known by the world, but it is knowable. More than ever, the world depends on the UN Security Council to do its work to stop the escalation to a new world war. The world will be safe only when the permanent members work together diplomatically to solve global crises, including the war in Ukraine and the rising tensions in East Asia. The UN Security Council provides the unique global venue for that peace-affirming work. More than ever, we need a healthy, functioning UN Security Council carrying out the mission assigned to it by the UN Charter. A UN Security Council objective investigation of the Nord Stream terrorism in which all countries contribute what they know is important for the global confidence in this body and, most importantly, for global peace and sustainable development. Thank you very much.


Good morning and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am your host Krista Burns here at the Nebraska Library Commission Encompass Live is the Commission's weekly online event.

We are happy to have an hour show. That's really our only criteria Is it library related and you can you do it online like this? We have an Nebraska Library Commission staff that oftentimes do shows but we also bring in guest speakers as we have this morning and Well, you can't see it, but across the table for me We're using our camera for a different purpose this morning for those of you have used to watch the show previously You'll see that in a little bit But across the table for me is Christina Peters who's here from the Nebraska Department of Education Your title I've got here is e-learning specialist in school library liaison. Correct. So those things cool Yeah, and she talked us about this project, which we've actually done stuff with before I know some other staff the Commission mentioned all that but I commented. That's a really cool project So glad you're having it up So she's gonna talk to us about this Nebraska e-books project So I'll just hand over to you to take it away. It sounds good. Well. Good morning, everyone. I'm so excited to be here I am a hand talker and it feels very good to not have video right now So use your imagination That's what I'm doing. So I'm very excited to talk about the Nebraska books project This is a great the brainchild of my director Brent Gaswick at the Department of Education He's the director of the network education and technology team and he wanted to Encourage students and teachers to start writing and publishing their content And so that's really how this whole thing started officially three years ago, and we've had some good moments Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've had some good momentum just within the past two years since I was Volunt told which is my favorite word since I was volunt told that I would be taking on the project myself and I've had the chance to do this exact presentation for several different conferences or professional development kind of in-service opportunities at the district level all across the state and so It's still one of those projects that it's small but mighty and when we get people to hear about it and and get their students or even themselves as Teachers or educators involved then they really start to understand the power that it is so So the brass the books project. I'm going to go ahead and go right through the initial idea was content created by Nebraskans for Nebraskans We had started out by looking at our fourth-grade Nebraska history standards all fourth graders are required to learn about Nebraska history Not being a Nebraska, and this has been very interesting as an educator. I'm not either I've been here for a long time. I'm originally from New York. Okay, and I'm originally from Arizona So they teach Nebraska history in fourth and eighth grade as well as in some high school level classes But we wanted to look at beyond the the typical green Nebraska adventures textbook And really started to dive in to more local history and so that's where this whole thing really started and We know that there are some great stories to be told in Fedford as well as in Omaha and so Again, that's really where the the idea came from and of course we're using a tool Called iBooks author and because it's free and that's our favorite favorite word In the land of libraries. It's our favorite word and in education. So We have we have created this and we have this actually sitting on the Nebraska Department of Education website And you can see the URL right here. So it's just education. Any dot gov slash ne books Even if you just do a Google search for any books or a Nebraska Department of Education, you'll be able to find it And then you'll see here. It's a work in progress Which is a lot of websites, but we have the the actual overview of the project itself And we've gone beyond just the school-based Partnership to now involve state agencies and nonprofits as well who have contributed to the project and again It's to provide quality instructional materials for the state and initially again I said it was content by Nebraska and store Nebraskans and we've really expanded beyond that because this has been taken to different conferences outside of Nebraska And so we have the the fun Google analytics that shows us where traffic is coming from and so We know that there are there's a wider audience than just our state So over here on our left-hand menu, we have the Nebraska books overview a teacher resource center That is designed to help teachers get involved and and get started with the project itself This is not necessarily limited just the teachers There is a checklist involved and if you're a checklist kind of person like myself It's even a good way to kind of start working on the project and and get to know what is what is involved we also have information on our state agency partners and then the best part of course is the library itself and This is just a sample of some of the books or the titles that you'll find in our library They are divided into three different categories and those are the agency partners So that ranges anywhere from the Homestead National Monument just south of the address that we've worked with and They have taken their brochure that you can get whenever you go to the monument And basically digitize that into an iBook and add some interactive features Native daughters and the power of role models was done with in conjunction with the Nebraska Department of Education As well as University of Nebraska and Lincoln to talk about Native American women And those are some really powerful books to be able to look through Nebraska and the Civil War Was done by the Nebraska State Historical Society The cornboard, you know, we have to have some facts about corn in there So that is in there as well as a newer book from NET, which is Standing Bears Footsteps And so these are some really great titles. We hope to continue adding more of these obviously from our agency partners Currently, I know that Nebraska Kingdom Parks are working on a couple of books They are looking at some native Animals to Nebraska and they were working on a snake book That had some really great photos that were a little terrifying to me Personally, yeah, really do snakes, but I know that kids would be really excited to look at And just great nonfiction pieces in general Here in the middle. We have teacher authors and so we were able to work with the Omaha Public Schools and the making invisible histories visible project and This is a grant project that has run for the past four years. I believe and they look at specific Subcultures or subgroups that are not necessarily represented in a typical history textbook And so they've looked at African-American history in Omaha, Native American history in Omaha and Hispanic American history in Omaha So I was able to work with them two years ago And they had taken all of their research and through the grant they had commissioned local artists and local authors to actually write the content and Create some original artwork and then they brought in a cadre of teachers that put together the i-book itself So then you have we have eight different books in this series and making invisible histories visible project And they really range learning all about African-American culture in Omaha specifically to Buffalo Soldiers to the Great Migration from the south up into Omaha So we're going to get to look at some of these books a little bit later on and Of course, my favorite part is the student authors we have had some great success with getting students writing and Publishing so it's pretty cool when some fifth graders Which is our youngest audience right now our youngest writers that say that they've had they have published book. Yeah Now some of these you will see if you go in here when you click on my i-book link They're either it'll take you right into i-books and you can download it immediately or some of them have it redirected to go through the i-books store or through iTunes and That was just their choice when they gave us their book and that helps them kind of keep track of how many people are coming and visiting their books and Whatever but we are currently adding more and more Books to this specific library as far as our student authors Just this past year We had Bellevue public schools that really worked in their iPad academies all across their grade levels third through I think it was eighth grade and They were using their iPads to create the i-books And they were able to develop Nearly 300 books Wow that are not currently in our library because we have no way to house them yet So that is in process right now. However, you will see some some updated books in here as well Just from all across across the state really So These are some of my first student authors that I had the chance to work with these were some high-ability learner students from Ralston public schools specifically at Bloomfield Elementary and As a former Ralston employee, so I was excited to go back and work with Within that district. It was actually at a different school, but I had such a wonderful job a wonderful time working with them and it was just a great group of students very motivated and When their teacher contacted me about the project. She was like, you know, I want to make this a year-long project They would meet on Thursdays when they had early release for their teachers to be able to go to professional development Then they would do any of their high-ability learning kind of group work after that time So they would start that about 130 to 330 and then they had Writing parties afterwards and so they would stay from 330 to 630 sometimes Overall, they put an incredible amount of time and effort and energy into the books themselves Um, I would say about a hundred hours. They averaged on the books doing the research Doing the writing and then the fun stuff when they got into iBooks author and adding interactive pieces Which is why we were kind of drawn again to the iBooks author So they had the chance to come to the state office building downtown Lincoln. Um, this would have been in Oh, let's see February of 2014 and They were able to go in front of the state board of education and introduce themselves and say that they were published authors And uh, and then they we opened up our computer lab here at the state office building and we had we invited all of our nde employees to come in and They were able to kind of walk them through the process and their whole writing process and the book making process itself and then Just kind of have that one-on-one conversation. So These are some nde employees as well as the commissioner who's who's sitting right here and chatting with them and That pretty much made their year and they were pretty excited about that. That's kind of the big deal Um, from there we were able to present at the Nebraska Association of the gifted conference That is held annually in downtown Omaha so this was that same group of Rawlston students as well as some high belly learner students from Blair public schools and so My students from from Rawlston were fifth and sixth graders and then my students from Blair were fifth sixth seventh and eighth And so it really ranged as far as their topics and they were able to present in front of a very crowded room And they had stations set up like this that they were able to kind of walk through the books and highlight some of their Their favorite pieces or some research that took them a little bit longer than they had anticipated And specifically our Blair students worked with their their local historical society and they were able to go and do a field trip And actually look at primary sources and primary documents, which we love to hear about And that being one of our our newer standards as far as social study standards for teachers to be To be looking at is really get primary documents in the hands of students and understand the power of paper for one It's still is important to us and you're not going to find everything online. No, unfortunately not With these books you're helping but that's true. That's true. So learning about the power of history and local perspective And quite honestly whenever I first started working with these students We did a workshop at the educational service unit in Omaha And all of the students were there. They started out the workshop Just kind of getting familiar with iBooks author and then in the afternoon They got to play and they got to start their books and again, you can lose students very easily Not that that happens to adults either, but um, this particular student that's on the screen right now Really threw me for a loop because in our in our minds. We'd always anticipated non-fiction books Just purely non-fiction. We're telling, you know history and sort of perspective And he had a picture of a goat And he wanted to tell me all about his goat and the story then became historical fiction Um, so it was this the story of Blair settlement was told through the perspective of the goats Wow, that's creative traveling up the um, the Missouri Was then sold off, you know just outside of Omaha and then brought into Blair And he talks about the settlement of Blair through the goats perspective. Wow, so When you give kids the opportunity to write something like this In they never cease to have me as far as what they can do So the students just pick whatever topic they're interested in yeah, they want to write about yeah, that's nice. Yes And so um for our Blair students they chose to kind of focus on Blair specific things So Blair history, whether it was historical fiction, whether it was non-fiction some did some Some features around Blair So the llama farm and some things that you can do transportation that kind of came through there And the Rawlsons students did more statewide history so Plains Indians sitting bull So they did a little bit broader topic This was the Nebraska educational technology association or NIDA the annual conference that happens in early spring And this was the group of Rawlsons students again that all had the chance to present their individual iBooks and highlight Some of the things that they liked they got really good at speaking that semester because they did Over and over again. Yeah. Yeah, they were looking at their no card, but pretty they all pretty much knew it by heart And of course, I you know, I'm only the kid at heart. So I had a lot of fun working with the kids themselves. So Just this past year I had the chance to Work with Darren Hansen who is a middle school science teacher out in Lexington And he contacted me about having his students Create iBooks they have a one-to-one program out there So all the students have a MacBook and they were able to go into iBooks author and create an iBook And he wanted to take his normal content that he would do They're focusing on butterflies and life cycle butterflies and the butterflies that come through Nebraska for migratory purposes and Instead of just him lecturing and them sitting there and taking notes. This was his approach And they were in charge of all of the research They utilized google apps for education and they collaborated on google docs They were able to create all of the content or the tech itself And then when I came in This would have been in october of 2014 just this past year We talked about something that's very important when we when we do this project copyrights and citations and creative commons and Um You'll see down at the bottom this photo of these two young two young ladies that are looking for photos that they can use And I showed them how they can do an advanced search in google to find creative commons licensed work Uh so that they can use it without infringing copyright So that actually led to a perfect little mini lesson on copyright And they're looking at me going I can't just copy and paste or drag and drop from google Let's talk about that Yeah, yeah So in the process of working with all of these students It has been a learning process even for for me personally and then some of the folks that I've worked with At the esu is across the state As far as what we've learned from the students and the teachers that have done this project one of those being the Citations at the end of a book And how do we cite our sources and how do we attribute the the photos or any sort of media that we're using? So that's been a good conversation to have as part of digital citizenship in general So this is a screenshot of my library that I currently have right now on my ipad And they kind of range as far as the books that you'll see here A lot of these up at the top are our student books. So again focusing on Blair specifically Then we have john c fremont over here, which is one of the books that was written by a ralsson student sitting bowl Education in the 1800s. That's one of my favorites. And so when we start to show books, I will show you Their teacher required them to record a video of some sort to include So some of them dressed up characters one one student know that wrote the fremont book dressed up as john c fremont in the book and Josie that did the education in the 1800s Properly donned a dunce cap very well and talked about punishment in the education world in the 1800s Um, then we also have the books that were written by the teachers So the desegregation of peony park and the water park out there in Omaha Um, and then whenever I first start to show iBooks. I love to refer to eil wilson's life on earth This is a series of books all about specifically science And there are I believe there are six of these in the series The reason I show these they are amazing examples of the potential of iBooks author And to think that it's a free program, of course it is map based But to think that it's a free program that's available to do all of this is pretty incredible And I've done a lot of workshops on iBooks author where this is kind of where we start and say Here's where you can go with this now. Let's show you what some students did and now What can you possibly do with that? So where do you start? Well, first of all here are some requirements as far as the program itself iBooks author It does require you to run on the map platform. So it's the operating system is 10.7.4 or later I just got a notification about an update for my iBooks author that Anything that they have in there now needs to be updated to the latest version The reason that they include that is because you can now View any of the books that are created on iBooks author on phones On your iphone people are reading on their phones. Yes, not on tablets or so that's good to know I need to update it myself Again the cost is free, but it does require a mac in order to do that And the requirements to view this you would need to do the iBooks, which is a separate actual tool or app To be able to view it it sits like just just like a bookshelf and that allows you to see all of the interactivity That are in the books itself as well as you can just do a pdf Which then takes away any sort of interactive features and it just allows you to read the content um One nice thing that I will say With with recent updates that met that apple has put out as far as their operating systems It used to be where you created the iBook in iBooks author on either a desktop or laptop And you had to view it on an ipad it took two different devices in order to create them With the newest operating systems you can actually create and view on any sort of computer And we've also found that there is a separate app that now works on ipads Called book creator and there is a free version of it So then teachers students anyone can actually create the book on an ipad as well So this is great for our districts that are One-to-one with ipads and don't necessarily have access to any sort of computer to be able to create those books They can now just rely on the ipad itself in order to bring that all in Of course, there's a there's a Free version of that book creator app and there's a paid version of course the paid version you get more benefits out of it I believe with the free version you can only make five books and then they will You'll have to either delete and add more or pay for that updated version yeah So i'm going to jump over to our website really fast and To talk through some of the guidelines that we have here again This is actually in the teacher resource center But even if you're not a teacher you're welcome to look at the guidelines So to go into our resources right here This has developed because of the work that we have done with students and teachers And it gives you a brief Welcome letter as far as those of you that are interested in getting started here are some things to consider As well as recommended steps for success. So there is kind of that checklist Again, you're a checklist kind of person. This is where you want to go So this is for the for teachers. So we have kind of the checklist on how to get started here And then if I continue to scroll down Then we have a separate checklist for students and they're actually divided up based on the level of students So we have elementary middle school and high school The expectations for each of these continue to get a little bit more difficult as far as citing sources and attribution So citations and attribution become a little more strict as we get up into The higher level of students just because that's the same expectations we have as far as standards Our english-language art standards. So they again have some of the the same things as far as their checklist and I just kind of want to run through some of this because When people even express interest to begin once they say I don't even know where to start. So That is that is the first step right there. And it's just narrowing down your topic I stress this a lot with students and teachers and just being a topic that you really really want to work on Because it's not a process that can be a week long. It's a much more intensive process and so it's something that you want to make sure that you really want to write about and To put out there for everyone then we talk about researching and Being able to keep all of your notes in some sort of word processing We have a lot of students that are using google apps for education. So they're using google docs There is the built-in research tool in google docs. So you can actually do research without leaving the document itself And it will also help you with the citations, which is very nice And then we have our multimedia resources and that's where I refer people to our creative commons The search.creativecommons.org and they can go in and start to look for images and videos and anything like that We do have a youtube permission letter Some do not see that this is necessarily Required it is just something that we practice as far as being good digital citizens There is a way of embedding a youtube video in the book itself And so it's as simple as leaving a comment underneath the youtube video saying hey I'd really like to link to this or embed this in my iBook And you can even give them the link of the ebook project itself so that they can kind of see it's a valid project But that'd also be a point where you would also explain the licensing that youtube does provide for the creators of videos they can sometimes Before you even have to ask say this is available for someone to reuse or this is rights restricted Yes, similar to the credit commons issues with just photos. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely Um, and even whenever I was looking back up here as far as the multimedia resources, we've also had questions come up about music And That can be sticky. Yeah, it can be so I again refer folks to creative commons Just because they have creative commons licensed music. There's so much stuff you can find Yeah, even based on genre. So I really want something upbeat here on this video But yeah, I want something more melancholy here or whatever. So that's very nice Um, then the process kind of goes with pre-writing everything is done Like we haven't even touched iBook's author yet. We've done the research. We've looked at different Images and videos that might help support the research that we found and now I'm typing it up just like I would a paper Um, then we we revise we fact check we edit and that can be peer editing or peer revising as well as the teacher That is involved with this And then you get to get into the fun stuff and that is storyboarding and designing the actual iBook And this is a process that is often skipped and I highly highly stress on taking the time to doing it Because iBook's author is pretty linear in the sense that when you start a chapter And then you decide later on that you want to add another chapter. You can't really move things around So it's best to be able to sketch it out Decide the order of your book or the table of contents or whatever it's going to look like And it's just kind of a fun little project So if you like to work on post-it notes and stickies and you want to put it up on the wall And you say this is what chapter one is going to be this is what Section one is going to look like or however that looks for you But really trying to think through the actual design of the iBook Then you get to open up iBook's author And um, there are some some things here as well So choosing the template carefully because it can't be changed after it started Using the chapters and sections very carefully or thoughtfully because that determines the table of contents again it's harder to move things around And uh as far as including who it's authored by on the cover page just like you would have on anything title and author so Um, then we previewed the final copy in iBooks to make sure it looks correct And we asked for some more feedback either through peers or the teacher themselves And then they send me their copies and then we add that to the library So that's the official process itself You'll see down at the bottom. It also says determine the creative commons license We've had a lot of folks start to um give us their creative commons license to be added Because we do not proof or we do not edit or anything like that ourselves at the department of vegetation We just don't have the capacity to do that. Yeah, and so we have a disclaimer that says Not everything has been reviewed for any sort of copyright infringement Um, so we want to make sure that they are aware of the creative commons process And that kind of helps alleviate any sort of issues that might potentially happen Now you had said earlier that all that I I iBooks author and everything. This is all um mac specific But I noticed it says that it can come the books can come out as a pdf as well Yes So wouldn't that mean that someone who's on something that's not mac would as at least be able to view some Yes version of it. Yes, exactly. Yes. You can view it um non mac based You will just it's a flat pdf. Okay, so any of the interactive features that they've added Whether that's video or different galleries of photos that you can um kind of go through And you lose any of that you can still access the text and like the overall content So, okay So so there's the like the content is there for yeah Because then you would also mention something that how is you just got to notice there's not been an update to it and I was looking for that actually and I've got separate laptop here and What actually is interesting and this may be something I don't Update or everybody with the update in july they're now supporting epub three Which yeah, that's the new thing So that means the iBook can the corner of this border. I got here exported to the epub three format, which is also All that media all that interactive stuff would be able to come out now I know this is a brand new thing. You might not know the answer. Yeah, would that mean The students would have to like do just you know still create it in iBooks author But then just rather than just exporting as that export also as the epub three before the interactive Accessed on other devices. Yeah, I'm assuming that's how it's going to work because it would still be in the actual Software itself and then kind of how we do the export of the pdf Right just as an option. So I'm assuming that that's how that would be as well. It's brand new. So yeah Yeah, that fits you know, though. Yeah, when you mentioned an update I was like, well, let's find out and get some info about that connected because you know, I put links I've got links to epub author or not. Yeah, iBooks author and stuff and okay I said, let's look it up and that's what I found out So because someone did ask about it can't be used on other platforms. Well, yes, it can Yeah, now it's pdf, but probably now in the future this epub that just came out like until like like July Was the update so Still needs and we're getting back into the swing of the school year. So I haven't really Worked on this project all summer so And maybe some of it just says you just export it in the new format The previous books you just need to be re-exported in the epub and not know what the new needs to be rated or anything on that Yeah, I have a couple of teachers. I could reach out to you and I'm going to do that. That'd be great So it is very max this max centric as far as creating the stuff So if getting kids and students to use it, but once it's done it will now be yeah anybody. Yeah Yeah, exactly As I mentioned before here is the youtube permission slip again. This is just kind of out of courtesy Contacting the owner of the video and just saying what the purposes of including it in the iBook would be and a link to the project itself And lastly we have the project release form and this is our liability form that I am required to through the department of education We really want to recognize the student authors with their first name and last name of course And so in order to do that we have to have permission From the parents that it is okay in order to do that. And so that is in english and in spanish on here as well So that is kind of the guidelines that we have for teachers And this is also broken out into the youtube permission letter as well as the release forms down here We have had a couple of people that have expressed interest in developing some video tutorials or step by step directions However, quite honestly, I refer people to youtube most often Just so that they can get a sense of things and Why reinvent the wheel when there are hundreds of videos already out there for iBooks author and you can become a youtube mechanic as I call that Our state agency partners we have a few that are listed on here And these are just folks that have learned have worked with us over the past couple years getting this project started We wanted to recognize them And so here we go into the ebook library And here are our student authors And you will see we offer most of them in the iBook version as well as the pdf so that you can view it if you are not on a max specifically And some of these we have the the 75 word Summary of what the book entails Some of these other ones they were just sent to me and I don't have anything further But obviously it's worth exploring those Regardless of having that actual summary to get started. Some of the titles are pretty obvious. Yeah. Yeah We had some students from Omaha North High magnet school that In their production class, they created some iBooks. And so that's what some of these ones without the summaries are Famous, Nebraska's choose your own adventure. Do you remember the two zero? Oh, yes? I love that. Yes so they they took on that That genre and created an iBook out of that which I thought was pretty cool Throwing a football 101. I mean that's very important for our high schoolers and the brass Very here and the brass Okay, so I'm going to flip back over and just make sure. Oh, yeah, okay Did want to go back to this really fast before I flip over to looking at some of the books This past spring. We were able to join together with Our apple representative here in the eastern part of the state as well as the Nebraska book festival And we had a student and teacher showcase And this was really just to give the the folks that had contributed to the the Nebraska book project One other place to showcase their books. And so Since we had so many students at Bellevue that contributed to the project they had their own showcase back in march and Each student had their own table and an iPad and they watched people through the books and Have the had the opportunity to share the whole process with them We even had the local news the local NBC affiliate come out and record them and that was that was pretty cool. They're That'd be very exciting. Yeah their district superintendent was there as well as some district level administration and just a lot of fun to see The pride in the work of quarters from some of these third graders all the way through eighth grade And then we this was at the Nebraska book festival at the end of april throughout the day, there are some workshops and some Nebraska authors that come and read from their books. And so we had our students This was at UNO's community engagement center We had students that came in and had their iPads and their iBooks with them that could talk to any of the participants in the book festival And so these are the students from Lexington that actually drove in for the day, which was really cool And you'll notice some of these students Our ELL students are English language learners and they are first generation Americans and also the first time that they were able to ever go to a university campus So that was a pretty big deal not just for being published authors at that point But also for getting the opportunity to go to the University of Nebraska, Omaha's campus Um, so we had some some great attendance as far as the participants that were at the festival that day as well as community members that just Casually walked in throughout the day and they had the chance to see some of the work that these students did Um, so this was one of our students from Bellevue who actually came in by himself.  I know the director No, he's gonna be on the show I forgot to tell him And then they were able to Again show this off to any people that came in And then they were they did their formal presentations to one another that evening Where we celebrated each of them again through the help of our partner in apple and These were the students from Lexington. So they had a great experience with it And um, Darren. He has was already planning to do this again this next year with his seventh and eighth grade students So nice that that speaks volumes to me about the experience and and the potential of what they want to do for this next year So i'm going to switch over now And showcase some of our books should be able to just minimize. Let's see If the camera view, haha, there we go. There we go. Yep. Sounds good. Okay. I need to just the camera jump in Um, I think we're good right now. I'll I'll hold it up too. Okay Okay, so I am running this on It's an antique at this point. This lovely thing is an iPad too if you're familiar with that But iBooks is the actual app that I will use to look through the books itself and Okay, sure All right Then I'll put it back down here Perfect. Yeah, that looks great. Thank you So it just looks like a bookshelf and I can go in and open up each one of them with a simple touch So this is the great migration. This is one of our teacher authors out of Omaha public schools And it flips through just like a regular book There's some information about the project itself As well as how you can actually use the book Right, we do find that some people need directions on how to use the iBook, which is totally fine And then it gets into the actual content itself. I'm going to flip this one. You'll notice this is there we go That was a portrait Thanks more since yeah that way. Yeah, sorry. We're going to zoom it out just a minute There we go. Okay. So this is a portrait only It was created you have a couple of options when you go into iBooks author Choosing your template and that you could do a portrait only so that it looks more book style or magazine style Or you can do the landscape where it looks like you turn the pages So this is written for a third grade level because that's when they really start to focus on local history, so this would be Omaha history specifically and One of the nice features about iBooks author is you'll see some of these words are bolded And so I can actually click on it And that'll take me to the glossary right here And this was a definition that that teacher then added to the book to be able to explain what the word was So they focus on specific vocabulary words Throughout the book in order to kind of highlight those words And then of course at the end of the page they have a kind of think Check your understanding down here a reflection question that whoops that the Teacher can ask or that the students can stop and think through themselves Depending on how it's really used in the classroom So this is all original artwork by a local artist That's cool. Yeah They worked with the Great Plains Black History Museum In order to get access to some primary documents and primary resources Specifically so they have some original photographs original newspaper clippings And then even like this little bubble right here is a photograph analysis So it's really starting to look at what's happening in this picture right here and asking some of those more critical Thinking questions of the students that would be looking at this So this is one of the widgets that runs in iBooks author It's called a gallery. So instead of just putting one single static image I can actually make that pop open and expand And then you'll notice that I have some thumbnails down here at the bottom So that means there's more than one that I can actually go through at a time And there's a caption at the bottom That then allows them to kind of customize what this picture is about Same thing right here Railroad industry they had some photos from up The original name tag It includes charts and graphs in here as well Talking about different populations. So they can understand that And then here is one of the features that we really enjoy as far as educational really context There's actually a built-in quiz that you can do with an iBooks author. Nice So we're checking for understanding before we would be ready to move on So I can check here check my answer and it'll actually self correct right there And then I get the green arrow green check mark and then I can go on to the next question So these were only two questions right here But that allows me to kind of break things up and and make sure that my students or even I am tracking along with what I'm reading This is another widget right here. This is a popover So it allows you to kind of customize either a specific photo or in this case It's a map that allows you to then have that little bubble that pops up. Do you all remember vh ones? pop-up video Love pop-up video Vh one is all classic. I know I know this is a pop-up feature Whoops, let me go back to that Allows you to go through There we go So talking about some of the the specific people that they're talking about in the book itself and where they're coming from So in alabama Two different locations in alabama as well as mississippi That's one of the widgets there Beautiful artwork. I'm always impressed every time I go back in here and the artwork gets in here I was trying to get to a page. Oh, here's one activity Again for classroom purposes This was looking at the article itself as well as the image and looking at the analysis of the article So talking about what really happened. What are three important things that they talk about in here? And then there's an activity towards the end I'm gonna scroll through here Take a seat. There we are They talk about designing your own protest sign and things like that And so what would that look like? And so they give them an actual activity for them to to then extend the book or the use of the book in the classroom So I really like that and of course there's information about each of them and the artists too. Yeah Yeah, so that's pretty cool So that is one of the teacher created books I'm going to go into that education in the 1800s book So this was written by a sixth grader at the time and this is my dunce cap video that I love to show And you'll see that this is the landscape view. So I've been able to turn it And then it goes full screen. So it looks more of book style when you slide between pages That's your preference. So the original image of a dunce cap. If you're not familiar with that Here's josey talking about it So they have the chance to really kind of understand Just what they were writing about and then add that to um to the book itself. So We've had some really great books at us at a library. Um, just throughout the past two years This one specifically is the spider and this was written with that app called book creator So it's a little bit different format, but you can still view it on In your iBooks And so it functions more like a book that it looks like it's turning the page And this was a third grader that created everything that you see on here They hand drew everything with on the ipad and so then they were telling me the story as they were reading through it This was intended for more of a kindergarten or first grade audience because it didn't require them to have to read And he just wanted to be able to write a book that didn't require them to read So I left his intention with that And then the last thing was a fact the tropical jumping spider is the only known vegetarian out of 40,000 spider species Wow, I had no idea Learned something here today So that kind of gives you an idea as far as what um the possibilities are with some of these books and I'm gonna take some questions. Do we have any questions? Um, yeah, that's very I'm just amazed how creative it is as the kids putting together these ideas and the stories that they come up with Um, but I guess it does really show How easy to use now useful this software is that the I author the iBook author program. Yeah Does anybody have any questions? If you have any questions type them in in your question section Every go to webinar interface Or if you have a microphone, let me know and we can unmute you and you can ask your question that way Um, nothing came in while you were talking. I'll just we'll accept you one comment about not being able to use another um platforms, but Right now you sort again as we say with the pdf and hopefully coming once they you know get the e-pub Update involved in the program. Yep. Um, it'll be doing more. Um So yeah, so on the website itself You don't you don't have to have an iPad to actually get to you just go to the your web page Yeah show there. Yeah, and that will get uh Yeah, you access to all the books there. Yes in the pdf format So not all the fun interactive things, but like you said the content, which is absolutely just as important. Yeah and we have had a lot of Our school districts that are moving towards Chromebooks And that has a whole new layer of complexity. Um, just because it's not mac and it's not Not Yeah, yeah, so um for those that are interested in that we are we're looking into options I was trying to look myself as to see is there something compatible to iBook's author on other platforms And I found a few um If these sort of things but not really You know, I guess apple really jumped in to do this and yeah, and I guess I mean Okay, getting kids to write is one thing right this is I think there's more talking about if you are asking All of all the interactive stuff that they can do that's really the fun things We want to have them be able to do right. Um not finding a lot if you know of anything. Yeah, let us know. Yeah, um Oh the url. Oh never mind Yes, so I just asked what's the second What's the url to see these iBook project presentations is oh, I see it. Yes the way I'm right there on the page there At the top there is the specific one to the student author's library But the main url just up to the any books part is will be included the links at the end of the show I've already added it to our delicious account there. Perfect. Um So yeah, you can get and see what all the all the kids have done And the student ones. I mean everything is yeah. Yeah, just give a specific part of the library Um, yeah, I've added links that are um to this To the iBook's author web page itself if anyone wants to look at it just on your own That making visible histories visible. They have a website out there. Yeah, um, and a google for google for education, of course For all the google apps that a lot of them is So it doesn't look like anybody else has any questions anybody have anything Anyone anyone? Mueller We've covered everything. Um, I think this really this is actually um, richard miller our library to the um Development director here has recommended having you on the show to talk about this And I was like and actually a whole list of different things that you guys do over there And I just done this one of course. Oh, this looks like a lot of fun So, um, no, I was glad to have you on yeah Yes, yes, uh, somebody asked yeah the question about what formats are available on you can view the pdf on any On any on any device you did not have to have an ipad to view that Um, you just need to have something mac apple to do the interactive version. So the pdf is ill to anyone And coming soon at some undetermined They just updated the iBook author with um ipub capabilities so the books will be able to be exported in that format which then is available on any device With all the interactive fun stuff that was created. So This is what you have now and we'll hopefully get something coming soon. Yeah for more. Yeah, I hope so All right Uh, we're almost at the top of the hour again at 11. So that's great.

Man takes his family on a relaxing beach trip, but ends up saving Wild Orca.  Little did Ben and his family knew, this beach trip would turn out to be more amazing than expected. It all started when Ben's family spotted something weird moving in the water. As Ben and his family were relaxing at the beach, they spotted something weird moving underwater. Curiosity got the best of Ben and he went to check out what's there. You won't believe what Ben found. Ben Wero was playing around in the water with his kids and wife. Their family vacation was going just as planned until their dog started barking towards the water. What did the dog see? Ben noticed that his dog was barking towards the water and he wanted to see what that was. Ben says that he was a little bit scared to see what animal was there, but he needed to see because that poor animal might be in trouble. At first, Ben thought that the animal might be a pilot shark. However, he was wrong. Keep reading to see what happened when Ben got closer to the strange animal. Ben and some of his friends took a risk and got closer to the strange animal and to their surprise, it wasn't a pilot shark. The stranded animal was actually a wild orca. This is quite strange because orcas don't spend their time close to the shore. What do you think the orca was doing there? Ben quickly realized that the orca is stuck in the shallow water. That's when one of his friends said that orcas do get close to the shore when they're hunting for food. What do you think the animals was hunting? Was it humans? The orca wasn't hunting humans, but stingrays. In fact, there are many reports of orcas getting stranded on beaches after chasing stingrays in shallow waters. Nonetheless, Ben Wero knew that he needed to help the poor animal. Ben called more of his friends for help because he thought that the orca might be able to swim away if they push it a little bit. Knowing that the orca is pretty heavy, for men came from the shore to help Ben. Usually, people are advised to call for special help when it comes to this type of situations. Orcas can easily hurt people, but Ben and his friends were determined to help the orca by themselves. The most hilarious thing happened next. As Ben and his friends were trying to push the orca, Ben's dog decided that he wanted to help as well. Now, this is a brave dog. One of them took the dog back to the beach because the waves were pretty big and he didn't want the dog to get hurt. The big waves could also push the orca on the beach and the men needed to grab it and keep it in the same spot. Do you think they were able to do that? A big wave was coming and the men grabbed a hold of the orca and kept it still. The first wave came and passed, but the second one was a whole lot bigger. You will be amazed to see how the men stand next to the orca. The second wave was huge, but the men didn't back away and kept holding on the orca. If they let the animal go, the wave would push it back to the beach and this wasn't good at all. The waves stopped hitting and Ben knew that this is when he needed to push the orca to deep waters. You won't believe what happened next. This was the first time that the orca was touched by humans and to everyone's surprise, the animal didn't get scared or aggressive. It was like the orca knew that it was being helped. The next picture will bring a smile to your face. The men started pushing the orca together and they were able to move it to deep waters. The animal didn't waste any time and it quickly started swimming away, but not before it said goodbye. As the orca was swimming away, it started flapping its tail and making huge splashes of water. This was the orca's way of saying thanks to the men who set it free. The men managed to set the orca free and they were happy. In fact, one of them said this after freeing the orca, we definitely felt like we had earned our beers that day. The men were so happy that they managed to save the orca that they started hugging. Truth be told, this was an amazing moment and the men showed how brave they are. Not many people would head into the water to save an orca like they did. The orca is now free to swim the ocean and it's all thanks to Ben Wero and his friends. Would you ever have the courage to get in the water when a huge animal is stuck on the shore?


Again, why would you possibly beam along Microsoft up here after a run from down here, right? It just doesn't make any sense. So everything that woke up today woke up from the bottom channels. We talked about Square for the last couple of days continues to be strong, but look at the common denominator, right? Look where it's coming from. Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, meeting everybody. Welcome to another edition of the access to trader.com nightly wrap up show. Hope everybody is doing well. Crazy market, right? It didn't look like a lot was going on today, but that's the whole point. There wasn't supposed to be a lot today. If you look at the queues we talked about last night's video, you're not going to get really a lot out of today's session. The Dow was down 400 points. Again, we really don't pay attention to the Dow a lot ago. And remember, it's only 30 stocks. The Nasdaq, you know, the queues were down a buck. Nasdaq composite down 20 handles like we talked about last night. You know, it feels like the market just needs a little bit of rest. Ironically, the stock that I was thinking about shorting today, you know, gap down fifth, like Tesla this morning, gap down 15 points. There was actually no play in Tesla today. And then all of a sudden it woke up and just did what Tesla does in a good market. But overall, the market's fine. And this is kind of what really proves the point, especially to the new traders. The indexes are not there to put you in a situation that you're going to fail or succeed because the Dow is up or down 400 points. It means absolutely nothing. You can see today, even though we had some weakest day in indexes and some strength today in the indexes, we kept on going back and forth, back and forth. The moral of the story is the stock that was strong, the stock's plural, that were strong and the names we were talking about just coming out of the bottom channels that we talked about last night, the night before. And that's kind of where your value is. I really didn't put myself in a situation that I was expecting anything today. Like I said last night in the video, I didn't think it was going to be any enthusiastic. And what we talked about today at Morning Strategy is, look, I expect nothing, right? Expect nothing. If you don't expect anything, you're not going to be disappointed. But slowly, for sure, what's cool about this market in general, especially in the last two weeks and change that we've reclaimed the 50 day moving average, something will always fall into your lap. And that's kind of the point. As long as you are prepared from the night before and don't have any unworldly expectations of what's supposed to be, then you're probably going to get, you're probably going to get something that's going to fall into your lap that you're going to do well with. And again, we had our research. Again, we'll get to the individual pivots in a second. We had our research. We knew what was tired. We knew what was pretty much in orbit. We kind of left those alone. And the most important part is, again, if you're going to be wrong, be wrong from down here. Don't be wrong from up here. Again, just ask anybody who got long micro, again, we talked about this. Like again, why would you possibly be long Microsoft up here after a run from down here, right? It just doesn't make any sense. So everything that woke up today, woke up from the bottom channels. We talked about square for the last couple of days, continues to be strong. But look at the common denominator, right? Look where it's coming from, right? We had roadblocks today. Again, look where it's coming from, right? It's not coming from up here. It's coming from the bottom channels here, right? Look at Shopify. Again, we'll get to the individual pivots momentarily. But look, it's the same common denominator over again. It's a rotation, right? When a bull market happens and they start reclaiming levels, it's not like they're sitting there and everything goes up at once and everything is tired at once and everything is kind of in the clouds at once. They go up one by one by one by one. And when they all start getting about the 50 day moving average and they start building for a longer period of time, that's when you have your really big aggressive rallies. And kind of when you look at the tape today, again, look at the spies a little bit tired. Tomorrow guys, pay attention to, again, it wasn't one of those destruction. Again, nobody's talking about destruction, but keep an eye on this area here on the spies. If you can see here, the low from July 29th is 406.77. Today's low is 406.82, you see that? So if spy tomorrow they start losing, you know, and again, we just wanna make sure everybody's ready to trade on both sides of the market. If the spies start losing tomorrow this 406.77 level, yeah, I mean, listen, is it possible to get down to this 401, 402? Sure, absolutely. And the market will still be fine because again, the market commands that a digestion period takes place. Again, we can't go straight up. We talked about this now. This is now the second night in a row that we're talking about this. You need a little bit of rest. It's just organic.  I don't wanna be long, right? You don't want that. So you want two, three days up. You want one day down. You want one day sideways. More stocks getting above their channels of the supply and kind of rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat. So watch tomorrow just in case we start pulling down this 406.77 area on the spies. Keep an eye on this thing for a potential trade down, trade down to the 10 day moving average on the IWM. You kind of have a little bit of different scenario. This is a scenario. The IWM has just actually been really, really strong. You've had a number of days above the 50 day moving average and it's just putting in a higher lows. You can see how it hugged the five day moving average. Again, the smaller names are really, really strong. Again, if you ever ask the question, is this a dead cat balance versus a rally? Well, let me show you this, right? So for all you guys who haven't seen this, and I realized that they started seeing it today, there's a stock HKD, right? It's stock basically went from like 50 bucks to 2,500. It's not a misprint. It literally in four days has gone from like 100 to 2,500 bucks. If this is what you're focusing on, you're missing so the point of what trading is. First of all, this stock at some point was trading $2,300, $400 spread. So basically, if you bought one little share, you're down 400 bucks as soon as you put on the trade. Again, guys, you're wasting your time. It's cool, it looks great. It's a great conversational piece at the next party. No trader is looking at this. Again, when I'm looking at a stock and I'm looking at a stock, for example, like a workday, right? Like a workday was a little too thin for me. Workday ran up about $1.60, $1.70, and it was a little too thin for me. So picture what you're, and this is workday, a NASDAQ 100 company. Picture what you're doing with this. A stock that's trading at a $300, $400 spread, not a $0.30 spread, not a dollar spread, a $400 spread.  They match your deposit. At least bet on sports, man. At least you got a 50-50 shot. What you're doing is call it what you want. You wanna call a trading, okay, right? Okay, you could put lipstick on a pig, still a pig. Anyway, back to normal life, right? So back to normal life. NASDAQ 100, NASDAQ 100 has exactly the same thing kind of happening here with the spies. You can see here, it touched a five-day moving average and it kind of held. Again, I don't wanna make it dramatic, so I won't. But if the NASDAQ 100 tomorrow starts losing 11.84, yeah, I mean, there's a trade there, right? There's a trade back to the 10-day moving average. But the coolest part about today's session was even when the market was red, you know, a lot of the morning, right? And you saw some put-buying coming in. The coolest part about it is that these stocks are so strong that they came out of the channels on their own two feet and it didn't really make a difference what the market did, right, quote-unquote, the market did. It's all about the individual stocks. Remember, the stock market is a thing of the past, right? Now for the last five, 10 years or so, now it's more a market full of stocks. And again, individual stocks, we're just using the indexes as a guideline. So tomorrow, again, you know, I'm not really loving anything on the short side. I mean, can the market come in? It could, right? It absolutely could. But again, I think there's so much opportunity still on the long side because there is no fear. Think about what do you need for the market to go down? You need fear, right? You need fear. You need a catalyst. Well, we had a catalyst. So it's earning season. Predominantly, majority of the tech earnings are already reported and most of them missed their numbers and still went higher. So that's bullish, right? So you're not gonna get the market down on a catalyst. You're not gonna get the market down on fear because again, as long as people are buying one share of a stock with a $400 spread, what fear are we talking about here, right?  There's still a lot of good value place out there. The most important part, you know, some days you'll get one trade, sometimes you get 10. But again, remember the key and this is the most important part. It's not how many trade. It's how many you trade properly. So let's talk about the day. I forgot to put a couple of pivots on the feed. This is from last night's, last night's watch list. Shopify, I forgot to put it on the Twitter feed. That was the only reason I'm talking about it. Shopify 3745 needs to build. You know, nice move, went up about a dollar or so. They're coming for the $40 calls. Look, if this thing starts building above 39 tomorrow, I think there's a shot at this 4068 level. I really still like Shopify. This is the highest close in this whole formation. Not a big move, but you know, it is what it is here. There was a two-sided play on Tesla today, 905 to the upside, 885 to the downside. But since Tesla gap down like 15, that trade was done, BTTX, I think, I don't know, I think went down like 20% today. I don't even think it went up there. PayPal, nice report after the close. Obviously didn't trigger in the course of the regular session, but PayPal reported pretty good quarter, right? Pretty good quarter. And obviously the market gods are helping. It's out, Square 7905 needs to build. Here was Square, took out the 7905 area. Traded almost to 83 bucks, really, really big move on Square. Traded 81 to the regular sessions. It's still a really nice move on Square there. Workday again, a little bit too thin for me, but 156.20 needs to build. Here was Workday.  And those, here's the rest of the pivots. Roadblocks, 45.83 needs to build. Nice little move on roadblocks, nothing crazy, but nice move. So here's the 45.83. It took out this whole channel. Traded right to supply here at 47.20. We talked about 47.20, 47.30 as measured potential. Overstock, obviously PayPal never triggered. It's up a lot today after the close. Overstock never triggered. Tesla again, 8.96 for possible build to 9.05. Not only did that come, you know, build. It went all the way up into the 9.20s. And I said, look, stay very patient today. Remember, we trade because there's value, not because the market is open. That's the key. That's the way to kind of buy time here. Workday takes some sales on the, excuse me, RBLX takes some sales on the way up. Here was Workday. Like I said here before, take on the way up. Always, guys, always take money on the way up. Shop, keep a type runner. We might get pushed to 40 tomorrow. And Google, I still like, that hasn't triggered. So look, the market is, you know, no news is good news, right? After the close, you know, you had some earnings. Look, AMD had a phenomenal, phenomenal run. Does it really even matter that it's down four bucks after the close? Look at the run AMD had. It really, really nice move on AMD. And today's just a little bit of profit taking. You got Starbucks coming out with earnings. I'm not saying I'm totally responsible for Starbucks earnings, but I do contribute quite often. You had Uber, right? You had Uber today, right? You had Uber today with a nice quarter there as well. Sulfi, Sulfi had a nice quarter there as well. You got Gilead, nothing really in Gilead. So that's it. Oh, Airbnb, Airbnb again, same type of situation as same type of situation as AMD. It had a big run. You could see the run it had, really, really big run. It's, you know, getting smacked here after the close, but ironically, the price here is still higher than the whole range here where it came out of. So again, good bullish market so far. Well, so far continues. The most important part is guys, you know, trade eyes wide open. Don't trade with the blind is on. Again, don't chase stocks. Don't obviously trade stocks. Do I even have to say it? Don't trade stocks with $300 spread. Sometimes some people need to hear it. All right, guys, that's it. God bless everybody. Everybody's doing well. Tomorrow's another day. Some pretty good value on top. And hopefully everybody will do well. Guys, have a great night. I'll see you tomorrow.
