between the natural and the built environment. And that is so much more important in these days of COVID-19 where easy breezy and easy breezy seems to be the key. And we've been looking at architecture from our islands from the past and potentially for the future. And that being said, this is the volume three of the Monolani Magic Mountain show with Larry Stricker, a partner in Killingsworth, Stricker, Lindgren, Wilson, and Associates. And we have you back from your vineyard in Napa Valley, California. Hi, Larry. Good to have you back. And of course, we're having with us our co-host back in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Soto Brown, hi to Soto. Hello, everybody. And Martin, you should be introducing yourself and speaking from Germany. Thank you for adding that. That is so true. So we're from all over the world. And let's go the first slide here, which is recapping where we had left last time. There's you, Larry, bottom left, above your butt and friends at Killingsworth. And then we see a couple of quoting pictures from the last shows where we have actually been talking about the hotel, the Monolani Resort first, then the bungalows, second. And then the last show we did with your business partner and friend, Ron Lindgren, Larry, and he was sharing the shocking news that in your typology of hospitality design, the percentage of project build is only 15%. And that's especially you are the Soto not from our discipline. I was shocking for you, but for me, having been in practice too, still am. This is shocking as well because in other typologies, it's not quite as drastic. But today we actually want to share one of these who haven't made it yet to become real. And these are the Monolani Groves. And can we get the next slide up? And you, Larry, please orientate us where they are and what we're looking at. Yeah, we see the main Monolani hotel with the bungalows on the far left. And then to the right of the hotel is the 80-unit condominiums that we designed that opened about three years after the hotel. And then the circle that you see to the right of the condos is the five-acre site that we'll be looking at for the grove. And immediately behind that, the golf course. Yeah. And we should add that you are a proud resident of the apartment where you secured yourself a unit with a prime unit with prime view. And so this project, it would have been your neighbor's. And you had to guess why it didn't happen. Can you share that with us, please? Yeah, I think to the best of my recollection, the Japanese representative that was bird-dogging the project did not maybe complete all his due diligence, because once we had designed the project, completed construction drawings, had the estimate from the contractor, had a building permit, and were very close to starting. And once, I think there was a, someone forgot to discuss this with the golf management people, since the project, access to the project requires access through the golf clubhouse property and across the golf course. So that was the only reason I had ever heard that the project did not go ahead. It was unfortunate because it would have been a very nice addition to the first funds. And I think we can say, too, that when you look at this aerial photograph, you can see the configuration of the coastline and where the natural fishponds are, but you also can see in between where the golf course is that this is all raw, untouched alava, which is extremely rough and very rugged and very uninviting. So to turn that natural alava into what we're about to look at is quite a feat. Yeah. And the golf course, by the way, is still carrying the name of its original owner, your ancestor. Yes, Francis H. I. Brown. Exactly. So the next slide, all the material we're showing today is from Run every once in a while, even here around the world, sends me lovely things. And this one was a marketing brochure, I guess we would call it these days of the Monolani Grove. And I wish our medium would be tactile because this is a wonderful brochure, very well done, very tactile, very finely made. And so now we want to flip through the brochure and next slide. And you Larry, please give us the background information of what we're seeing. This is a very soft sell, a nice history of the islands, some of the earlier Captain Cook discovering Hawaii. And then a lot of the, I think it may be the next slide that shows the some of the canoe paths or routes that were taken between the islands. And you know, definitely this area of the fish farms has always been a secret and heavenly place for the Hawaiians. And I can only go back to that one quickly to the previous slide unless I can you go back. I was just going to say that in this, the pages, the initial pages of this big brochure, this marketing brochure has got the pictures of artifacts, which come from Bishop Museum where I work. So the actual surviving pieces, some of these come from Bishop Museum. And they are being used to emphasize the Hawaiianess of this very natural environment, which was just in the early stages of being developed at the time that we're talking about in 1990. And as you said earlier, Ron, I mean, Martin, we could date this brochure to coming from 1990 because based on the deck that's on the first page. Yeah, and per your point, Larry, it's a nice soft sell because you just sort of and I get annoyed when contemporary developers like Howard Hughes sort of more shamelessly use history to sell that project and they only point out pre-contact as if it never has been discovered by other people. And one of them here, or the first one Captain Cook mentioned here too, that's a way more objective way to, you know, set the historical stage. Let's go to the next slide here, which is an illustration. Well, that one we can skip over because we already talked about it. But the next one is Larry, a sort of an illustrated animation of the siding of the actual five units, right? Yeah, there was a good slope to the site such that the three units that are closest to the fish farms are considerably, you know, down at the, just about five feet above the water level. And then the unit, the two units beyond are cited so that they look over top of the lower units. And the total site was just under five acres. So there's, you know, great views and a good sense of privacy and garden between the units as we get into the rendering, you'll see how privacy is so essential to the farming. Mm-hmm. Let's go to the next slide. The orientation, you know, and north is straight up. The golf clubhouse would be to the right of the site plan. Yeah. And this is the site plan. And the text is hard to read, but I want to call the beginning of it, which is along with the images of pre-contact. They dedicate one sentence. The beginning of their design consideration was that they observed the traditional way of wine living and the ali, and basically said different parts of the building for different usages. And that's all they say. And then they say, or we say culture has changed, but climate's not. You guys were seeing this as still the appropriate and designing accordingly. And now let's get us oriented and explain to us kind of the zoning, kind of the layout, which is very fascinating, Larry. Yeah. With the H-shape, you see the entry four-year coming into the center. And then to the left is the living, dining, kitchen, laundry, utility area. And to the right, we have the terracing of the three bedrooms. So we enter at the mid-level, and then go down to the lowest bedroom, and when I, and then up on the flight to the master, which actually serves as fact. So we have a good size one eye for most of the master having the largest one eye. But again, as far as zoning, the three bedrooms were all with the ocean views on the right side, and the living, dining, kitchen on the left. Absolutely. Let's go to the next slide. And all the illustrations that we're going to see following are by the fame, Carlos, the needs that you guys, Ron and you had shared was almost your personal illustrator, who has done work for other architects too, but you almost commissioned him for every drawing. And he has this beautiful sort of, you know, handwriting of being so suggestive as far as tropical exotic. And explain us a little bit what we see. So here we're looking from the lagoon back at the, at the residence. On the left, we see the almost transparent living room. And on the right, the three levels of bedrooms. And then the entry at the center, which overlooks the left pool, and the lagoon's beyond. And I wanted to say that in looking at this rendering, not only do I see the signature exposed protruding rafters of the Killingsworth look, particularly on the left, but also on the right, it really resembles part of the Holly Kulani Hotel, which had been designed about 10 years before this by our friend, Ron. And as you pointed out, Larry, the double-hipped Dickey roof that we see here was something that the Killingsworth firm had adapted by that time as one of also its signature looks or signature elements for the building that it was designing here. Yeah, I think that was largely from the Holly Kulani. And we would kind of make that part of our theme for all the low-rise buildings, the bungalows, the canoe house restaurant, and then carrying us through to the units here at the Grove. And we've also, as Mark pointed out earlier too, we see the signature planter beds with the Bougainvillea vines, which is also something that was used not only at the Cahala Hilton Hotel, but also at the Holly Kulani Hotel. Yeah, and this is interesting because typologically, it comes full circle to add beginning work in the early 60s where Conrad Hill had discovered him and then they started to do resorts together. And this is coming full circle to one story or single story, a few story residential, but it has evolved and emerged. And we were once making you guys the compliments as the best postmodern architect because you were cynical, you were you know, eye-winking. And the Dickey Roos are sort of referential, but you know, they make a lot of sense. And while Anne had started out as the flat-roofed McSenshree guys, you had been sort of sneaking that into the repertoire. Yes, right. Pretty cool. And let's go to the next slide, which gets us actually into the building. And let's discuss this a little bit, Barry. Yeah, well, you entered through a very lush garden and then we have the hosting beam trellis and the chapel with the entry. And that's kind of the center to going to the right. We go to the living dining wing, to the left, to the bedroom wing. So again, you come through here and your first impression is on the, we'll see on the next slide, you see the legumes beyond and then the ocean in the background. So the whole sense of a place of being, you know, in the lushness of the legumes and the privacy. I think it really takes hold of the site and puts you in touch with the specialness of the legumes. And I can also say too that that atrium, as you walk in, is another killingsworth thing element of the very high ceiling there, because it looks like it's almost a two-story entryway with these very high windows and curtains that extend all the way from the ceiling down to the floor. And that really reminds me of the Cahala Hilton lobby as well. Yeah. And as we were characterizing that, it's intentionally the absence of architecture for the presence of nature. And what clearly proves that you guys are, you know, modernist and have been trying to stay away from postmodern in its sort of, you know, true sense is that the fountain, I stole the anecdote already, isn't just a decorative fountain as you were questioning that to Soto, but it's multi-purposely a jacuzzi in the brochure. It says, by the push of a button, it turns from a fountain to a jacuzzi. So that's a very kind of a modern, again, eye-winking kind of performance element there. Let's go to the next slide here, which is maybe the most telling because that's kind of the gathering room, the outdoor room that is almost entirely outside and just has the main roof as the protection from what we need to protect us from, which is the sun and the rain. But otherwise, as you said, Mary, you feel like you're out there, right? Secondly, a transparent space and we're completely wrapped by the washiness of the gardens around the lagoon. It really, you see the density of the palm trees and the palms just continue. But during the early construction, we actually removed some of the palms for you to sit out and wear on the site. So it was a nursery for palm trees and it still has that look. And you just saw that we're questioning the mitigation of elements when it forms as we were just been lucky again to not get hit by Hurricane Douglas and that illustrated well in the next slide, please. This is, again, stepping down to the lower lanai where there's the cocktails and outdoor cooking area. And we see the treatment of the glazing. Again, we're looking at taking for a tie, a glass line and then the additional center of the living space. But again, the openness to the lagoon and the landscaping. And let's go dining. It's about dining time. So next slide. And there's a little bit of a surprise and it explains that more of a formal space. So it would have a side view of one of the golf poles. And the kitchen would be to the right. And then the living space, we just looked at to the left. But there are, when we see the actual metric that we're drawing, we'll see that they're actually three or three. There's a breakfast lanai off the kitchen. There's the formal dining room that we're looking at now. And then also a cocktail outdoor dining area down in the lower lanai closest to the lagoon. And after we have this nice meal, I think we're all tired. Let's go to bed and the next slide for that. So that's the bedroom. We're looking at the master bedroom and we'll see fairly enclosed. It would have the one wall facing the outside of the age. But again, we're looking to the landscaping and then looking back from where we are opens to the next slide showing the study or sitting area and the outdoor lanai and lagoon's beyond. So again, going from a more private or enclosed sleeping area to a semi open study or lounge area and then to the summing lanai. So a nice progression of space for the master suite. And there also are these very high ceilings. We don't have flat interior ceilings in these rooms, but we go up into what is actually the exterior roof space to give them a much more hairy and dramatic and elegant look too. A lot of these spaces are considered reminiscent of some of the main buildings at the Holocaust line. And if we go back for a second to the previous slide, we see something else, which is a very traditional device to mitigate our tropical well being, which is the ceiling fan. So again, the cross breeze and the ceiling fan and hot air rising up and the fan basically taking it out. So these houses are very comfortable, would have been very comfortable. And we know from your other projects, which are very biochromatic. So this is just another example for that. So let's go to the slide after the next slide. We'll jump over one, this one here. This is a great exonometric explosion drawing here that sort of subsidizing everything you have been talking about, but illustrating it in an even better way and gives us a better clue than in the plan, where they sort of extract the floor plans in showing the cleverness of space planning with a sort of split level strategy that you had explained. And it's actually in part, a multi-story building that never feels that way. It feels like a very gentle flow of spaces and places, right? Yeah, I think from the entry, and then you can see the small roof on the tallest element, which is actually the entry. But you're coming in at the mid-level, so that space, the arrangement of the roof forms, and the terracing of the limites, it's not a box in the building. It kind of moves like the slope of the lamp. So I think the zoning and all really shows well here in this exonometric would be, yeah, and then going from the lagoon facing when I back into the building from the more open areas to the more private areas. Yeah. And Larry, these buildings were never built, but did you design any homes or other buildings on the site that were sort of similar to these? Not really. I found that I had actually, he was with the originally hotel consultant with the Hale Kalani, Jack Hudson, and had a life right at the 18th Tee. And he wanted a single-story home, again with the similar Dickey roofs, a very Hawaiian feeling and high ceilings. And while that was under construction, a great cardiologist had bought a property a few blocks away, and he was taken with the design of his first home. So we had a second home for a doctor, and both very different. The home for the doctor was again just a single-story home, but it had similar zoning to what we have here at the door. Okay, so us running out of time, let's phase out with the solo shing with us, although you guys had closed down your office, but let's illustrate why your legacy lives on and get to the next slide for that, and please share with us the photo. So, Martin, you said that this was a preliminary design for potential use of the office of Hawaiian homes, which would have been for people of 50% or more Hawaiian ethnicity to be able to build on their properties. Is that right? Is that what this was? That's correct for the digital, yeah. Yeah, and you unknowingly, we used a very similar plan, an H shape. You've got an entryway, although the entryway is not decorative, it would have been for potentially having fish that you could eat, but basically, although it's a very scaled down version, it's somewhat like what we just looked at for a very affluent clientele versus a very down-home and back-to-the-land type of clientele. Yeah, and as Ron had shared with us, Larry, that there was a project by Ed, an early project where he was doing courtyard houses for Latin American low-income people. We can see this in the tradition of, again, sort of proliferizing your guy's kind of strategy. And let's go to the last page. Now, this is a sunset view here from that beautiful piece of land, and then we threw in the note that after the $200 million renovation, which you attended its reopening, Larry, it's like everything in Hawaii had to close down because of the COVID pandemic soon after that. And that's obviously a bummer and tragic, but we know from Ron that actually the owner of the Haulingpani that we talked quite a bit about, they take advantage, they make a virtue out of the dilemma and say they keep the hotel close, the Haulingpani to do some long overdue renovations. And we're hoping these are going to be mechanical ones and not aesthetic ones, and they stay to the original. So that means in some cases, if clients are affluent enough, they might have some money to be able to do some things. And our suggestion is here, no surprise, why don't you build the Mauna Lani growth project? Because if anything, aren't they very COVID-conventing compliant, right? Well, they have a lot of air circulation. True. Absolutely. So with that, we're at the end of the show, but we're going to see you back, Larry, next week and the week after is to actually share with us the last project that you guys have done on the Hawaiian Islands. And that one is the one that you have been the project architect again, and that's the Ihilani resort. So stay tuned for that. And until then, once again, stay as tropically exotic as Ed and Ron and you, Larry, and easy breezy and easy breezy. It's safe and sound. Thank you, guys. Bye. Very good.


All right Y'all should be quiet now Good job. You're getting there Okay, so I've been editing since October 2001 and so when we start having different anniversaries of Wikipedia Years, I start thinking I should talk about that That's weird very very few of us are still editing from the very early days And this is actually becoming a lot more important because 15 years is long enough for me to start forgetting What it was like, which is a good disclaimer that everything I'm talking about here is based on my memory And my entire point is that we need to be doing a history project about ourselves that we need to be seeing Wikipedia as part of history and as having its own history rather than being a somehow Some of human knowledge outside of human knowledge I'm gonna try to make this point that you all as a community We need to figure out how to do this, okay, so and I can't do it by myself. I Need other people's memories too. Yeah If we try to think about Wikipedia as outside of history Wikipedia is not going to make sense like we can't reason about it unless we remember where it comes from and who started it, but not who started it in a Organizational way like that story is written down, but who are the first people who started writing articles? Like what was the first troll problem? How did we deal with it? What were our first fight? What did we do? How did that affect us? and If you look at the article on Wikipedia about Wikipedia the main one skips over the first, you know 10 years with some statistics. It's a very long article. It has to cover a lot of ground There's a separate history of Wikipedia article But even that article has a number of small sections about each year That often have like what new features are released that year or you know We started working with the arbitration committee that year It doesn't really give you the sense of like what was it actually like like like who are these editors? And what were they worried about and how did it feel? What did we care about and there's one book? I know of that talks about this and goes into some of the early like actual discussions about rules and things Which is the Wikipedia revolution by Andrew Lee But it's a book on the shelf, you know, we don't like go off and read Books on the shelf that much we go read the things that are online and the things that are part of our culture and community and active discussions And then we start forgetting how completely weird Wikipedia really really is And so my suggestion for all of you is to go to this sub site. That's pretty much forgotten by a lot of people nostalgia.wikipedia.org Which has a copy from December 2001 And it's hilarious and strange and at the bottom of the main page. You should all look at it right now if you want There's a little note that says sorry we had to protect this page We didn't want to but people kept editing it Like it was just like beginning to develop that we had to like protect the main page If you went to recent changes You could just read all of the recent changes from the past couple days Every day if you felt like it I did this for like months I just read all of the recent changes. It was that small and there's funny formatting things You'll notice the home page if you go look at it is capital H and capital P Which is an artifact of the original software system use mod wiki where if you wanted to link to another page You'd be like a camel case link is what it was called. There's these funny little awkward Software things trying to figure out software. That would work. Uh, I was 14 years old I was just messing around. It was hilarious And I was and I can look at my user page from December 2001 And I'm talking about all these weird inside jokes that 14 year olds have It made no sense But I was also just really delighted to be somewhere where adults were respecting my contributions as Just a person because when you're 14, you don't have a whole lot of influence in the world You can feel kind of frustrated. You sure all of us did but like grown-ups were taking me seriously If I was like doing serious work And they're really nice to me strange Yeah, and It was a weird idea like I want you to try to imagine Right now if there was no Wikipedia Like the idea of writing an encyclopedia from scratch you just opened up a page This is literally what you did you open up a page about like, you know harp I've played harp at the time and there was no article for this So I opened up the page and I started writing down stuff off the top of my head. I'm a kid, you know I'll just write down what I remember from some book. I read once and I saved the page and everyone was like Oh, thanks for starting the page.  I was like, you know, it's working on writing an encyclopedia.  I'm like just the It was a joke. Like it was fun. It was a lark You know, we didn't actually think it would make sense It was just the dumbest idea. It was fun. I can't emphasize that enough And it didn't come out of nowhere, I mean a lot of us know that Newpedia was the kind of Seed project. It didn't really work. Wikipedia came out of Newpedia, which was a little more formal and well researched And I'm trying to be a little more serious about building encyclopedia, but it wasn't going very far So I thought, oh, we'll try this wiki thing But there were also other strange internet projects where random people from the year on the internet were collecting information together It was everything too And Pitchhiker's guide to the galaxy on the internet And people just come together and write stories and have fun and you know, the editors came and went between these different websites and You know on my on my talk page from 2001 There's somebody saying like plus one for something I'd edited and he was like Well, if you don't know what plus one is go over look at everything too You know convention social convention for everything too. There's just a lot of overlap between all these projects And everything too is still online uh, it has like It has more like personal stories. It's like a collection of personal stories and Each two g2 project. I don't think it's even really around anymore But like Wikipedia was one of several experiments to just like use stuff online together It was a little more straightforward Um, but I don't think it would have happened without these other funny things that were happening at the time Yeah, I read all the recent changes And that's you know, like everyone did And I'll try to explain how weird of a place it was The articles they were, you know a smattering of articles on lots of different random things There were a good number of like, you know, basic introductions like if you've never heard of, you know, Kenya I'll tell you some stuff about Kenya maybe But like there were really long complicated like in-depth articles about a few different things about philosophy Thanks to Larry Sanger A lot about poker There was a lot of articles about the simpsons There was a lot about objectivism And since September 11th had just happened There was actually a fairly like in-depth community effort to try to cover a Event as it was happening It was a very interesting early test of Wikipedia But like if you just think of like going to some website and these are like the five things that I can actually tell you Something about like this tells you something about the early people on Wikipedia But also I could be wrong. I'm forgetting. What was it? What was there back then? And the thing is we'd mostly come from slash dot You forget like the gender gap of wikipedia It wasn't It didn't come from nowhere like like it came from the gender gap of I mean originally Of like just the collaborative community sites At the time Okay, if you haven't heard of slash dot you can think of reddit They're really really really tiny because there was almost nobody just hanging out on the internet Kind of like that. Uh, there's a couple New York Times articles. There was a couple other like Press articles about haha. Look at this funny little encyclopedia project Um, but people the people from slash dot and those kinds of places where they're really the people who started editing They already had the boldness to go Talk about the random stuff off the top of their head and call it an encyclopedia Uh, and we're willing to deal with the weird syntax had some free time and stuff like that I don't remember how I found wikipedia It was almost certainly slash dot and There's a mailing list post from january 2002 Where there's a woman who's asking some ordinary question about something And at the end of her post she says like p.s. Are there no other women taking part in this? I feel a bit like i'm snuck into the boy's room smiley face Uh jimbo says yeah ruth is around uh rose parks and janet davis writes a lot I'm not sure if they're on the mailing list though. There's pink unicorn And then larry follows up and says that oh, yeah, let's not forget jhk and april and dreamy shade Uh, to name three of the more hard-working females. There's a few others too wikipedia is definitely male dominated though, which I agree is regrettable There are six of us There were hundreds and hundreds of editors And there are six of us and I didn't really notice um everyone was nice to me. I was like working um but there's not a lot of writing about the early gender gap I've never seen anyone talk about like gender gap before about 2004 It's what like I don't even remember like what was happening I don't know we should find out Yeah, and so there was this mailing list And I had never heard of mailing lists before I had no idea how to join a mailing list I kept hearing about it And I posted at the top of the recent changes page because there was a part you could edit there I thought oh, maybe somebody will see my question. I was like, how do you join the mailing list? somebody just reverted me because I was clearly posting in the wrong place And I never figured it out, you know, I went off and did other things with me the angel life and I wonder now like how might my life have been different if I got involved at governance like at that time. I have no idea so like Early governance, you had to know how to use a mailing list Which is a perfectly kind of reasonable assumption by the people at the time And Q doesn't know how to use a mailing list I don't know It's like funny cultural thing Uh There were problems. Uh, there were trolls. There were massive fights with people who were argumentative but also really good content contributors Uh, you know, there was this massive struggle over this page called Bad jokes and deleted nonsense Because when people removed vandalism that was particularly funny. They'd all put it on this one page and this page kept growing and growing and growing It was just awful Because there's all this junk on it, but nobody wanted to just like make the community decision to just delete it Or like archive it and not contribute it because everyone else having so much fun adding all the vandalism to it It was it was a fight. I don't even remember what happened with it But like what are these early stories? I don't remember them I was just editing content and fixing articles about the apollotan ice cream seriously What would if we knew more about our first fights like what would that tell us about the dna of our community? um, what would that tell us about the origins of our rules and how they've you know conglomerated over time I don't know. We should find out um There is a very incomplete list of people who joined in the first year or two Uh, the only people who remembered to add themselves to this list were the particularly active editors at the time And if you look at this almost none of them are still active very very few And almost none of them are involved in governance like who in our governance as a community in all of our different forms of governance we have You know probably hundreds of forms of governance um Who among them has the memory? Back 15 years I don't know like should we try to have more of that Or somehow find a way to teach those stories and share them like You know who will go to that page and track down all those people and interview them I'm not going to do it. I don't have time Maybe maybe you will um You know What can we learn from how they feel? Why didn't they leave? I don't know. Is that an unusual amount of attrition or normal? um Who will do this before we all forget 15 years is a long time um Who will fix the article about the history of wikipedia to actually include an editor perspective Of editor problems and in human stories. How do we help ourselves think about wikipedia? As being part of history It's not just some of human knowledge, but a very specific although very popular and very well known like Effort to do this thing like and and what can that tell us and inspire us and Inform us especially when we're having difficulty and how can we remember that we've had lots and lots of difficulty over the years Uh, yeah, maybe it's you I would like to help you because I can't do it by myself and There's like at least 10 15 more minutes in this time slot and I could keep talking about things, but I think it's for more fun to show you um some of the nostalgia wikipedia If you haven't looked at it yet There's the camel case homepage like Ah pretty awesome. The other funny thing is that this is not quite Like an exact version of the early one because this is running on media wiki It was running on I don't even remember what it was called. There were a couple different Maybe it was the first version of media wiki. There were a couple different funny software projects Uh, this is a hilarious logo that it had at the time. Um, I wonder if it'll get No But it had this quote that ended with the words carnal pleasure Which were like the most like obvious things when you were looking at this logo, you know just it was a quote about You know that humans are are have a singular passion above other animals That we the light and the continuum continual and endific in like generation of knowledge Exceeds the sheer vehemence of any carnal pleasure, whatever, but it was a really awkward logo Like this shows you just like there's a bunch of people doing random stuff. They weren't really thinking like That awkward It got changed It's funny, you know, it was covered by the gnu free documentation license at the time that You know creative commons licenses weren't really even a thing yet It was very early in the development of just what would a free content project Even look like and you know had a little definition of what is open content and free content Uh, let's see like if you clicked on one of these random links about You know an effort to divide human knowledge into few categories Hey Hey, you can learn stuff about chemistry here There's a little bit about the periodic table cool And oh, funny thing is there's all these funny like, you know break lines We didn't really have like a structure for pages like there weren't really subheadings. We just kind of added lots of of like Kind of lines of between things. So sometimes if you find an article that hasn't been edited in like 10 15 years He has like a characteristic formatting Uh, here's my user page from December 2001 Is dreamy shade aka harp girl rita mart and sometimes pritta had lots of cheesy jokes about Purple monkey dishwasher. That was real cool. And then there's there's all these like really nice notes from larry sanger and random people Oh, here's the part where it says like plus one on harp and your other harp articles. What's a plus one? See everything too All right And all these funny little Um things Uh, let's see other useful things to know about if you if you are interested in trying to tell this story We don't have edit history from several of the first few months The software that we were using didn't really like keep all the records It kept keep things for like a month and people have gone and dug up like ancient backups to try to dig through Like as much as possible, but it's still missing a lot. So if you go to my oldest edits You have something that's like the first edit to a page where it's actually, you know, like 16th edit. Um Like this weird software things where It like Thanks that my edit from 2001 removed, you know, 30,000 characters. I don't know I don't know if this is a software bug that I should report somewhere But like look at the really old edits and maybe fix those bugs uh, yeah, there was just a random page where you would like If you wanted somebody blocked you would just like add their ip to a page and hopefully somebody would get around to it Same thing if you wanted a page to be deleted just like added it to some random page and maybe somebody would take care of it Uh, you added random pictures from around the internet and then a little while a few months later somebody realized Ah, we should kind of clean that up Okay, here's here's the list of Wikipedia's in order of arrival um You know somebody later annotated it to say like this one's inactive since june 2003 um Inactive since march 2001 like who are these people like Nobody knows like Yeah, there's me And here's the history of Wikipedia article. I'll try to show you what I mean um you know in 2001 It talks about that the neutral point of view policy was formulated the slash daughters arrived. There was a media report But like what was it like? Nobody Has that even written anywhere can we even cite it to anything has anyone even done the original research on ourselves? So that we can cite it here. I don't know all right I think i'm done talking. I mean one thing I could ask about is were any of you Editing back like before 2005 and do you have like weird funny stories? I think that'd be fun Maybe you should come up here and speak with a microphone so people can see you on the internet um, so one of my favorite sort of I wasn't around at this time, but I looked up the very first uh Edit for the article on critical theory if you're a sort of philosophy or cultural study And the text of it is we're not sure what critical theory is and so we're hoping someone will come and tell us Anyone else there's a um an interest to interview people to add to the history of wikipedia, but isn't that a Antithesis of like original research like I I think what the matter at hand is like how do we get? more public awareness around the movement of wikipedia and all the projects And rather than have public news about controversy of wikipedia Is talk about what you have here is history so that a journalist can interview that and then we could use that The secret is that original research is really fun You just I mean you can't directly put it on wikipedia, but you should still do it Um, put it somewhere else somebody else can cite it That's actually one of the things I found like way late in editing wikipedia is that I actually All of my skills I learned from editing wikipedia. We're actually really good for doing original research I just put it elsewhere Okay, so I started editing not wikipedia, but wictionary in october of 2003 And my first entry there was somebody in the tea room wanted to know about the word successism And I dug into this and I found roots in japanese and I most have spent several hours making one, you know two-line entry and the The thing that I think made it stick for me was looking back at that article in a day or so And somebody in belgium Had cleaned it up had formatted it had had made it real And had welcomed me and I'm going why is somebody in belgium care about my work? I guess the other weird old weird old story I could tell here is Just a few months later in january of 2004 The man here who is now my husband started editing wictionary also And that was how we met any more stories Even if it's like before 2007 Come tell us Have a quick comment First, so I'm guillaume first of all. Thank you for your presentation I'm I'm not from around that time. I joined in 2005 But I consider myself a wiki archaeologist, which is a really fun thing to do you can I mean if you look at the very first version of articles you find very funny things On the french wikipedia the first version of the Apple article says Apple is a fruit and and that was that was it If you look at the the first version of the the b article on the english wikipedia it says Like b is an insect and It likes to dance or something like that and that's all I know and and that's all I know is actually in the in the article So it's a very Very funny hobby And and so about the the point about original original research We don't have to put that up on wikipedia itself and there's a lot of wiki archaeology stuff on meta And so I invite everyone who's interested in doing that In looking at meta contacting me contacting you and I'm sure we can do something about this Yeah, I started in 2004 as an anonymous editor just fixing you know typos and things I didn't create an account until 2005 but What strikes me as as the biggest change that is to you know taking place in that time is the death of the of the eventualism versus immediateism like Uh You know split like I mean there there there really is no eventualism left like I mean this is The top five site in the world now or something but you know even even just a decade ago There was an idea that well, you know, we don't really need to do a good job right now We'll just we'll just deal with it later. And I think that that has has You know completely changed now like there there's a strong focus on you know getting the content immediately I think that's that that has changed the nature of the of the culture as well as you know what the output is Yeah, it's a really good point so um back in 2001 um My friend anatoly vorobay user av at the time Told me he he discovered it through slash dot and was editing and told me.  I was a programmer. We were using it at the time And he was like, yeah, they're gonna do it on a wiki anyone could edit anything at any time At the time I was already online for about 10 years from a little before the public internet So I thought I I know the internet. I know how things work. It's a crazy idea. It'll never work, but I was curious so I Came and looked around wikipedia.com as it was And you know, um, obviously being being, um, sure this couldn't possibly work. I wanted to test it So I looked at articles and topics. I knew something about like Hebrew language and Hebrew literature um, and of course um, I found mistakes And that's when I discovered the awesome power of cunningham's law Which states the easiest way to get a correct answer On the internet is to post a wrong answer It's profoundly true I discovered those edits Those those mistakes. I was not at all intending to contribute I was a skeptic coming to confirm my view that this can't possibly work But I saw this small mistake in the description of Hebrew grammar And I clicked the edit button and fixed it Then I fixed a bunch of other things and then I added a couple of things and before I knew it I was a wikipedia A few months later, I kind of wandered off and stopped contributing but then in 2003 Just to show you that I don't learn lessons very easily in 2003 some math student in a in a israeli university uh translated the interface strings into Hebrew Which at the time was all you needed to do to create a new wikipedia You you would translate the strings and send brian veber an email and go hey make a new one and he did That guy that same day wrote the first article on Hebrew wikipedia Which was mathematics because he was a mathematics student Then he sent an email on a couple of israeli mainly saying hey So now there's a Hebrew wikipedia too Then I felt really smug and I was like listen. I know about wikipedia. It's a crazy idea somehow It works in english, but let me tell you it'll never work in Hebrew There's only seven million speakers not a strong volunteer culture Most of us speak english forget it, you know, don't even try I wrote this really Long email explaining the many ways in which it couldn't possibly work trust me I know I'm from the internet. I've been around and I've edited wikipedia After sending that email I felt kind of crappy and I was I like reigned all over this man's parade And so I said okay, it's not going to work But if it's not if it doesn't work let it not be because I refused to chip in to pitch in And so I did I went to the completely empty Hebrew wikipedia And said okay, this guy's a math student He's already recruited a couple of his computer science students So I'm going to write about what I know and I wrote the article about Homer the greek poet Nothing at all was there on classics And then I found that after writing the article it was full of red links So I had to write the article about the iliad and the odyssey and epic poetry etc. And here I am today Um, it's working So, uh, thank you so much britta for that excellent session I'm gonna try so I'm actually my name is pete foresight As wikipedia is celebrating its 15th anniversary. I'm actually celebrating my 10th. So this last session was awesome for me I'd like to try something Right now. I'm gonna list off some of the terms that I think we heard in that last session So just listen closely for a second metawiki afcom arbcom camel case ryan viber Okay, so now I want everyone here who doesn't know what every single one of those things means to raise your hand Okay, so the session i'm gonna lead after the break that we're about to take this one's for you So we're gonna we're gonna have a panel up here where we're gonna talk to some people who are new to wikipedia But who have uh an interest in it because of their other professional work or their other passions Um, so if if you're one of the people who had a little trouble following all the ins and outs of the beginnings of wikipedia Hopefully this one will uh, we'll speak to you So yeah, we have about I think a 10 minute break. All right, and then we'll be back and there's snacks in the back


The society has always deemed education as the key to success, but how relevant can it get if one has to go to school on an empty stomach? Morris Gitonga, a resident of Fungai, saw the need in his area and decided to make a move that would be beneficial to many. The program which was started with the intention of feeding children has been in existence for quite some time now, since its inception by Gitonga's parents. I am a father figure to the kids. I am also their manager. I also do a bit of directing. If you come on some fine days, you'll find me cooking. So I am all things so that I can make them as everybody who comes in as comfortable as possible. I've just created a space where kids have an opportunity to be kids. They have an opportunity to be childish. They have an opportunity to do their homework. They have an opportunity to teach one another. And they have an opportunity to ask questions that they don't have an opportunity to ask elsewhere. And also I create time for them. I invite tutors from Inokwa Universities. So it's not a tushon. It is a willing program whereby the kids who don't have this kind of atmosphere where they come from have it here. In this setup, the children do not recognise the art of spoon feeding as they have to plan for and prepare the intended meal by themselves. Something that has taught them self-reliance on a larger scope. We meet every Friday in a school setup, in a club setup. We come alive under a program called TBF that is Transformation for a Better Future. The kids themselves claim that. It's a program whereby kids run their own affairs.  They come up with the menu, what they want to eat, how they want to cook it. And when they want to learn, they learn. And I found that by giving them this space, they are able to realise that they have so much control over their lives. So when they came in, when they came on board, there were so many challenges even with the administration in school. But right now, there are some of the best kids in the school and we don't fight, we don't beat, they are not beaten, they don't fight at school, but they challenge one another. So by doing that, we found that we can very easily sway the behavioural problems and make sure that they don't leak out and make sure that the kids change, or the children change their habits themselves without being monetised extremely. Now, I'm not saying they're angels, but I'm saying that they're honest when they express themselves and that for me is an achievement. By doing this, Maurice has given a platform for the kids to not only share meals, but also interact on a personal label and learn the virtue of disciplining. I've just opened up my eyes. I'm using what God has blessed me with. He has blessed me with space, he has blessed me with a home, he has blessed me with good space and a bit of structures that can be your views. Previously, right now we are dealing with class 7 and class 8, that is the adolescence age, where so many challenges are coming on board. But previously, we used to have a preschool program where we have a baby class, nursery and preunit. And some of the kids I'm having now used to be in my program then. So I used to teach them when they were in preschool. Now they are in class 8. And the group I have right now is around 45 to 50. And 35 of them are in class 8. And these 35 have been with them from last year. And we don't do something extraordinary. No, we just created a friendship. We created a relationship. We cook, eat together, work together, challenge one another, deal with discipline cases together, where if one kid is in discipline, we all gather together and we lay the case before everybody and everybody has a chance to comment. Interacting with children, especially those from beneficiary schools, has made his program famous, hence attracting more kids to his operation. The headmistress of the Nakel Prema school where most of these kids are drawn from, she's a very good friend of mine. And I've worked with her when I used to run the feeding program because I used to have to get permission for kids from her to come and have lunch. So we kept that relationship alive. So last year but once she had so many behavior challenges when she was shifted from one school to that school and she called on all her friends to come on board and just try and change and transform one kid or two kids at a time. So through that I was introduced to the kids and I was given the ones that were really, really challenging and I was given a setup every Friday where I set up whereby in form of a club that is a transformation for a better future club normally known as Okomoli called TBF program. So I've never done a club before. I know there's a wildlife club and all that so we did TBF as a club and I was able now to interact with the children from that setup and became famous and they came to know about this place by me inviting all those who wanted to learn and to have a meeting. Morris has been met with a few hicups yenda but that hasn't in any way acted as a hindrance to his mission. More challenges. Am I making a change? Am I really reaching out to his kids? When some of them come and report to me you know what yesterday IDT says but I've been telling you about this and then we face and tackle the problem. Financial challenges are there. Last year we had a boost supply I think for my wife and then she had to I think she lost her job I know she lost her job so from my financial perspective from what I was able to provide until now that was lost so putting a decent meal or even a meal for the kids staff but we came up with an idea of contributing 20 shillings but then I told them if you don't have it still come and on and on bumps up and downs and all that we've been having them and I think there are challenges in infrastructure because the space we were enjoying some of us came along and listed and my dad listed to them maybe what I was doing was lost to him or they did not see the value I don't know whatever challenges so the space has become also an issue we need books clothes all these are the normal things especially girls and boys the girls need a mother figure they need a challenge they need good success stories that I was here I changed and I made it the boys need the same we have some great footballers I've watched them play time and again so the challenge is continuity the challenge is to keep the fire burning I'm inspired by Jesus kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa for us it's a good time for us to see it and interact and we get closer when we eat together we are faced with many challenges with cooking firewood it's not affordable firewood anyway got Ameko refilling it the challenge the kind of meals we have sometimes the bed But one of the others will manage, like porridge, but we don't have sugar. We don't know what sugar is, and we really enjoy it. In fact, we even forgot to buy sugar. So far, it's a test of a positive impact, and therefore it's greatest desire is for others, especially schools to borrow a leaf. I can tell you for a few, I was shocked, especially for the guardians, the mothers. It has impacted them so positively. Upon their lives, even the teachers, it's called the class teachers, were asking, what is this TBF on about? What do these kids do there? The parents came, some of them came, the mothers said, teacher, oh, you are the teacher, yes. Okay, I just want to say thank you. We have one case of a child who was even being taken to a psychiatrist, because she could not talk, she could not open up in the house. She comes, she does her work, she keeps quiet, she watches TV, she goes to bed, doesn't say anything to the mum. And for me, when she came on board, she was the list of my problems, because she was not very energetic or up and down. So I used to give her responsibilities, then she opened up more responsibilities, now she is picking and opening up, so the parents are good. As for the community, they have been really supportive. They saw the edges and everything. So if one of my kids is seen somewhere, being something by one of my neighbours, they come and say, I saw your kid, so I come and tell them where you were seen. So the community doesn't have a problem. I know if they had to go enough materials, to maybe to share, but just giving us peace and letting us be, for me that's a good contribution. For the parents, to give you the child every Saturday, to give you the child, boy child, girl child, I think that's trust. And they see the changes. We have once access stories of one of our girls, she used to get I think 240, very stable, but at the end of the day she got 308 marks. So to me, one child at a time, one child at a time. How bright is the future, as far as this initiative is concerned? I hope and pray that each and every school can create such a space. Each and every school can create a place that can be allowed to be kids. I don't know whether you've ever sat and considered how many rules and regulations kids go through, and what happens to them if they break a cup. Everybody shouts, are you watching or if they fall down, if they are to be blamed.  Like now when one of my kids comes and tells me, teacher 31st, can you come and spend it at your place? I say, why? See teacher every time we spend it at our house, the problem will be there is a dead body on the road. He says, really? Ya ya ya, every year. I said, wow. Now when some of my kids come and tell me, teacher do you go to Matanga? I say, I don't go to Matanga. Why? You go to Matanga often. I say, why?   So when they come back and tell me, you wrote it and you told that. I said, why? I thought you liked it.  That is good. So for the future, I will love them to teach the same impact, same loving the other kids. There is always light at the end of the tunnel as is evident in this judgment. You can make an impact. You can make an impact. Kenyans are very good and we are very good and we are very generous because most 70% of what we have has been done through Kenyans and they are wonderful generosity. You can do it, just that, that desire. Menta one child, menta two children, menta three children. For example, the country of Kenyans is led by how many people? One person, right? He is the president. So it's not about numbers. It is about positively impacting somebody. Now I do this because I am a born again Christian. I allow the love of God to flow through me to the kids because the relationship you have one based on love. It's not about what you can give or what you cannot give. It's not even about the behaviors. It's not about their backgrounds. It's not even a tribal thing. We are, for one reason or the other, mainly Christian. I have some of my kids who used to be in my preschool, who used to be Muslim but are now Christians. So that's a background, that's a setup. So as a Christian, just go out in your churches, create time to talk to the kids and you can make an impact. And I don't know about finances. God provides for everything that we need. He touches you to come along, come on board, be a shining light to these ones. Access to adequate quantities of nutritious food remains a challenge for many. Therefore, let us all join hands in fighting under nutrition and break the recurring cycle of hunger. I love kids. I get very well with kids. I think the child in me has resisted growing up. And I know that if when I was growing up we had such a program, if our kids or generation had such a program running, I think we'd have a totally different setup.


Hello everybody hooded. Cooper commander 788 here, and this is a quick look at psych out GI Joe's deceptive warfare specialist from 1987 this is a figure. I have not reviewed yet. I can't imagine why I will get to it This figure included a lot of accessories and that's really what's important psych out had a backpack that had 1950s sci-fi Martian antennae he included whatever this thing is this silver Vacuum cleaner with a red radar dish that can be removed based on the file card I assume this is a device to induce paranoia with low frequency radio waves He included a black pistol the most realistic looking accessory that he came with this pistol is often lost And it looks decent. It's not a bad GI Joe pistol and finally he included these wrist attachments He had two of them. They were both the same They are silver wrist attachments with red radar dishes that peg onto them the red dishes are removable I assume these work with his radio equipment to play mind games on the enemy. He has one other piece It's not a removable accessory, but he has an antenna that attaches to the back of his head Although this is not intended to be removable. It is often missing on this figure the figure itself has a lot of details He has very bright yellow hair that is like Kenner Star Wars Luke Skywalker hair He has a headset in silver and red He has some other details in two shades of gray and black silver and red and Wow, that shirt is a bright green, isn't it as with all other vintage GI Joe action figures Psych out included a file card and honestly, I think I like this file card more than I like the figure There's some very clever text. That was my quick look at psych out. I hope you enjoyed it I will eventually do a full review on this figure. Please subscribe to the channel and stick around for that I have hundreds of vintage GI Joe toy reviews, so please check out my back catalog and support the channel on patreon So I can continue to do these videos. Thank you very much for watching I'll be back soon with a full vintage GI Joe toy review until then remember only GI Joe is GI Joe


What a happy Tuesday everybody. Good to see you all. Welcome back at Cybertrain University. Hopefully everyone's all excited, getting ready. Decent day. CPI numbers came out. What kind of flat would you say? I mean, the market right now is down 20. I don't know if they're crazy about it. I expect it. I think a lot of people expect the same numbers. So it looks like we're not going anywhere. That's a big thing. But once again, they see a Brad and Grant, Lita, everyone, John, everybody, everyone on social media. Welcome back. Couple of good things that moved yesterday. I mean, listen, the market's really not doing a whole lot of nothing going on. You know, it's going to probably be like this for the next two weeks. But you know, that's the beauty about what we do as a day trader. We always find things that are moving. I want to cover and talk a little bit about them because there were a couple of nice little stocks. A&D moved up really nice yesterday. Uber and Lyft moved up pretty decently. You had the rumor of the buyout on Macy's. That worked out pretty well. So a couple of good things that are moving. So we'll touch upon them. And then, you know what? And we'll see what's going on this morning because Tuesday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are our best days of trades where we get a lot of actions. We'll look into it. Plus, you got the Fed that's going to be meeting this week, too. We'll see how that works out before everyone starts leaving for the holidays. Anyway, nice little move on this ADTX. I saw a bunch of you looking at this morning. It was a pretty nice move right around 8.30. Really, really nice pop. Look at that gorgeous move, 3.50, and about 10 minutes ran all the way up to about 7.50. Some of you I know here, they're early, caught onto it.   But before we go over these stocks and see if it's going to continue to go higher and everything else, because some of you remember this stock, we did trade this stock. Remember this stock ran from, what was that price right here? Let me blow this up so you guys can see a little bit. Oh, I hate when I do that. Hit the wrong button, default. There we go. Bring it back up there. So where were we? We were right here, ADTX. So this stock, we blow the stock up. So everybody remembers this day right here, ran from $9 to $69. And then back here in April, the stock ran from 30 to about 70. So we know the stock has a beautiful short squeeze. So we're going to have, that's on our watch list. Anyway, let's talk about what happened yesterday because a couple of good little stocks that did make some moves. We had this stock that got completely hammered. I thought it was going to come back. It never came back. This stock is, I feel sorry for everything that happened to it, but this stock is getting hammered, destroyed, $700 stock, only down to 69 cents. Yeah, you know what that does happen. And I think the more times you come here, the more you start realizing it. PSTX had a nice little pop early and this one came right back down and other stock that was completely a bust. These are things that were moving, but there were some things that did move. So SOLXL moved pretty nice with AMD. AMD, you're getting close to last year's highs, broke 52 week highs, had a good pop right here to 135. What was nice about this stock at AMD, for everyone here, and for watching on social media, once again, you're always welcome to come join us in our trading room. It's all about following your orders. There was a big, big iceberg order at 135. Remember the big iceberg order on Apple too. So it's all about following the money and you can see once it hit 135, boom, it came right down to 132.  SOLXL kind of trades side by side with AMD. So if you couldn't afford that stock, don't deprive yourself to say, well, maybe I could trade the options. Maybe we could just go into and trade something cheaper. SOLXL was a good one too. PLTR, that had some good moves. Had a good pop here and there early in the morning, it ended up coming back down. So it wasn't super excited, same thing with Carvana, but these things didn't move pretty well. JTAI moved up really nice, we're from $1.70 to $3.50, that was a good move. That was the merger, the merger. The buyout, well, it's not officially bought out yet, but Macy's had a really good move yesterday. You could have jumped in early, even though what the news was out, stock ran from $20 all the way to $21.20. Nice little dollar moving about it, but had to work for about an hour. You know what, dollar a day, 1,000 shares, not bad. Uber, you could see had a really nice push. I know that some of you here are doing some options, plays on that, really, really good move on Uber. And for something a little bit on a cheaper side, which by the way, I'm a little bit more a fan on Lyft than Uber and I think Uber just does pretty well because they're like Uber Eats, they got a little bit of everything, but Lyft is doing pretty well to make a nice little pop. You can see right here, $10 stock up to about 15, about 50%, and on the swing trade, but also on the day trade move up pretty nicely. All right, so let's go see what's moving on and get ready for today. What is moving in the pre-market? So anyway, we're very familiar with the stock ADTX. You could see it right there, that stock does move. I'm gonna bring up level four over here. You could see what we got going on right now. A couple of iceberg orders did show up right around here, around 650. You have a little bit here that came down. It was a latter effect that came in, around $8, guy lowered his offer, about 10,000. And when he came out there, the issue you're gonna have with this stock ADTX is that it is gonna be a volatile stock, okay? So please don't look at it, well, oh, it's only $6. Some of you, most of you here in the cyber group room, and some of you watching online don't know this, but when we train our traders, we make you, we give you journals, we make you write down detailed notes. We do one-on-one coaching with you. We wanna make sure you learn from those mistakes.  If you can't afford the stock, or it's moving too fast, just buy one share of it. Just have it on your journal, so you can go back and you could take notes on it. Remember, the stock is not, it's probably gonna be a category four. So I want everyone to be aware of that, but it is on our watch list, and you are going to watch it, some of you are probably gonna consider trading it. So we're gonna keep an eye on that one. The JTAZ is the one we were talking about yesterday. That is a warrant, but this is the stock right here, JTAI. So yeah, JTAIZ, which is a warrant. That one is also moving back a little bit. It's up, you know, it's up a little bit. It's got, there it is right there. It's up about 80%. You can see it right here as the IPO price, how it had a nice little pop right there. And let me show you what happened from yesterday. Just be very careful, the spread's really big. This is not probably the stock you want to keep an eye too much on it. You probably want to focus on this one, which's got more of a better spread and everything else. So unless you know how to spread trade, stay away from it, stick with the other one a little bit better. So this one that we trade yesterday is going back on the watch list, JTAI. All right now, third on the list, this stock, great volume. Eight million shares are a trading pre-market. It is a pharmaceutical stock. It is moving up. It's got some resistance levels right around here.  But I was looking at level four. The only problem I had with it, I didn't see that many orders out there as in, you know, iceberg orders. You could see it right here. It wasn't really that much that kind of like gave me other than this 80 cents price. So, and you know me, I'm not a fan trading under a dollar. So, but it is moving. It looks okay. This one also, CC, CC. This one also has got a nice little pop right here. Nice little move early this morning. Dollar 30, that's about 230, up about 42%. That one looks a little bit better. 22 million shares trade on that one. This is up 15%. Spreads really looks a little wide. Lot of spotting-ish in pre-market. I'll probably scratch that one as for now. NIAV, cheap little stock of 25%. Probably gonna be very, very low volume stock.  Any, what do we got? 5%, all right, we gotta scratch that. All right, New York Stock Exchange, what we got, I mean, not the most active. Let's see what we got going on here. We got Mara, we got Tesla that's moving. We're checking those out, always in the big active list, but then it looked like they're doing too much right here. New York Stock Exchange, losers. Any good thing on the losers? No, okay, New York Stock Exchange, S-O-X-S. That's got a big move again. It's not the S-O-X-L, so don't confuse it. Kava's moving a little bit this morning. I was a very big fan of Kava. I had the swing trade on it. It's up about 2%, a lot of volume, which is kind of weird. I don't think I have ever seen it in the most active. That's like the first time I've ever seen it. I'll put it on the watch list to see what's going on with it. And got you, this is a stock that we saw yesterday. I told you about the stock yesterday. It is more of a swing trade. It's not the easiest day trade, okay? So just be very careful that got you. If you want to do a little bit of a swing trade on that, just be very, you know, it's got some resistance levels above 350, so that's what you can see here. KOLD has just been on a rocket. The whole thing with the short on Boyle, this is the opposite. Boyle, as you can see, it's on the big losers list.  Remember, they totally trade opposite of each other. It's an ETF that once in a while we do trade, okay? So other than that, nothing less than the New York Oracle did come out with earnings. That's other big news that we're gonna talk about. So Oracle did not do well at all on their earnings announcements, 116 down to 104. I'll put that on the watch list. You got some big support levels right around close to 100. So it's expensive. Some of you here probably don't qualify to trade it, not because it's expensive, not only because it's expensive, but it does trade a little volatile. I'm not usually a big fan of trading Oracle, but maybe a day like today getting really beat up. I think I'm gonna check it out. So for anyone that's a category three or higher, we'll keep an eye on it. Now the list is not really that big. You can see it right here. It's not that big. Typical, like I said yesterday, we're about two weeks away from Christmas. Starting next week, it's gonna get slower. There's not gonna be that much news coming out. Congress gonna be on vacation. Everyone's gonna start going on vacation. People are gonna start getting ready for the holidays. People are gonna start going away. Get ready for their new year. It's probably gonna be that going up until maybe the third day after the first year of the year. So, but listen, day trading is still hot. There's still things that are moving. If we see something, we'll say something. Anything else I'm missing, I did not call out. Anything else? Before we go, always wanna make a quick little announcement.  Lita, happy birthday. Always been a great fan of CTO. Been here for, I don't know, probably it's gonna be over almost a decade now, right?  And keep going, Lita. Lita's here every single morning, every morning. And it's just great for her to be part of the family. So, and some of you know her, she comes to all the onsites. You know, probably has the record of being here more than anyone. And if you haven't seen her play the guitar and sing a song and write songs about Cybertree University, think it's on our YouTube channel. Don't go out there and watch it. But happy birthday, Lita. Everyone else, good luck today. Happy trading. We'll get ready for the market open up. We've got about 15 more minutes.  If you're new here to Cybertree University, if you're a trial, like I said, just don't buy anything, just watch. If you're watching on social media and you're on our YouTube channel or Facebook or Twitter, just take your phone, scan that little QR code, you come and join our training room all day long, see what we're in and out of it, see why we're the longest running school out there, over 30 years running strong. Happy trading, everyone. And oh, one more. I just got a chat. TT, you can throw that in there too. All right, good luck, everyone. Happy trading. And oh, almost forgot, duh. Traders talk today. I thought you were telling me TT. Traders talk today at 11 o'clock. So once we're done, everyone, the training is not gonna end. We're gonna, every Tuesday here, we're gonna also broadcast live on YouTube and on social media so you can always join us there. So we'll be back for you guys here at 11 and everyone else, don't forget, it's a big day today, okay? A lot of events going on. Good luck, happy trading and be safe.


Freedom! Today I want to talk to you about something awesome. I want to talk to you about the fact that we're going to YouTube Fan Fest Manila, which is a festival for fans about YouTube in Manila. What do you want from me? So when I say we, I'm talking about Steph from The Office, who you may have seen in Freedom videos. He kind of looks like a younger version of George. So here's a picture of Steph. Here's a picture of George. Now here's a picture of George riding a unicorn. Okay, we probably don't have that one just laying around, but I promise it exists. In addition to Steph, we'll also have Mike. Mike has actually come here from Canada for the past couple of weeks just to help us build specific teams. As far as what those teams are, I'm not at liberty to say. What I am at liberty to say is that Devin, who works with our sales department, has also been here for the past couple of weeks and he'll be there as well. This team, this highly trained team of super spies. I mean, Freedom family members is going to be there not only to meet you, which it would be awesome. Some of them may be wearing freedom shirts. However, if it just happens to be laundry day and they're not wearing their freedom shirts, you will also notice that they're carrying around this gigantic camera. As you can see, as George used to say behind me, this camera is to record in 4K. And we may arm them with other miscellaneous tools of the trade like giant microphones and whatnot. This is going to be our test bed for VidCon. These guys are going to be talking to a lot of existing freedom partners, some potential freedom partners, and just some really cool people in general. So if you're there, make sure to flag down one of these three guys. One, two, three. Just in case you missed it, one of these three guys. One, two, three. We'll do it again. Three, two, one. I can count. Three, two, one, one, two, three. The celebration of all things that is YouTube will take place on Friday the 27th. And if you see any of these guys flag them down, give them a giant bear hug and say, Anthony said hi. Because sadly I won't be able to be there. I have some prior engagements that are going to be keeping me busy. However, we will be using this as a test bed for VidCon. If VidCon, if you're not aware, takes place next month in Anaheim, California. But I won't give you a whole lot of information about Anaheim because that's a month away and we've got a lot of time to talk about that. Hashtag Anthony VidCon 2016. Get it trending. So let this serve as your official warning. If you are in the general Manila area, come and hang out with us on Friday. Tackle everybody.  Just don't be creepy. If you're curious about YouTube Fan Fest, be sure to check out the link in the description because it doesn't just happen here in Manila. It happens in cities all over the world and there could be one near you.  Maybe I can get George to do something in whatever city you'd like. Who knows? No guarantees, but we'll try. Anyway, until next time, don't forget to like, subscribe, do all those things and make us love our jobs. Also, be awesome to yourself and amazing to each other. Bye, Freedom Family. Seriously, I'm done. I'm gonna go to VidCon. Are you guys gonna be there? I'm gonna go to VidCon. Are you guys gonna be there? Seriously. Seriously? Who wants to hug George? Who wants to see what George smells like? Let me know in the comment section down below.

Okay, so apologies guys for the lateness of this video. There's a lot of things have been going on If you can see kind of on the floor here and all my wedding stuff I just shot a wedding yesterday, and I'm gonna go shoot another one tomorrow Here are my top five best episodes of Supernatural season six while season six definitely has a little bit of shortcomings a little bit of adversity to overcome mainly following after the powerhouse at a season five it does have some very good episodes and Really some elements of this show that I kind of wish had Continued on and we'll talk about that a little bit more later first off Let's do the honorable mentions being live free or twi hard. This episode is actually pretty darn good It's a very entertaining very scary kind of episode seeing Dean turn into a vampire Seeing soulless Sam let it happen that smirk is still iconic in terms of soulless Sam moments It also has a lot of really cool action a lot of cool vampire beheaded and this is a fun episode This is a really good one next up is frontier land This is a really good going back in time episode Dean gets to live out his Western fantasies all the while trying to find This phoenix with the help of Samuel Colt Which that was a great plug there that little cameo was really well done sure the ending is a Reach in terms of things to happen as well as a massive back to the future reference, but it's still a very fun episode It's a very cool episode. It's a very cool lower episode And it's probably one of the best going back in time episodes of the show ever did another one is the man who knew too much This is the last episode that Eric Kripke ever wrote and it is a really great episode in terms of Sam Having a battle within his own mind between his soulless self and the version that remembers hell and trying to piece All of these things back together while you also have Everything coming to a head between Castiel and Raphael and the opening of the souls from Percatori That part was really enjoyable as well as the finale that ends with Castiel now saying I am your new god What this could have been this element this adversarial battle Against Castiel could have been so cool But as we all know a season 7 pretty much reverses that within the first 10 minutes So we'll see how that goes when I start reviewing season 7 This is something that I really wish we could have seen I would have loved to have seen Castiel be an Abyssyri slash villain anti hero or whatever in the following season I think it would have been a cool thing and it's a missed opportunity and finally appointment in Samara This episode I like and I almost had it in my top five But the one thing that kind of holds me back on it is just how quickly Dean learns the lesson and really is forgiven By death despite the fact that he failed after what three People he meets are for whichever it seems like a very quick to resolution sort of idea But the idea of Dean dying becoming death for a day learning the consequences eventually of such power of such decisions of such consequences was cool to see and Also seeing soul the Sam try to kill Bobby was a bit nerve-wracking and the episode ends with that really cool Cliffhanger of death shoving his soul back into Sam But those are the honorable mentions now Let's get on to the top five starting with number five the man who would be king This is a very cool episode that is entirely almost Castiel centric I like this episode for two reasons one we get to see Castiel Explain how everything has gotten to this point. We see him explain to God figuratively that What really is this us? How things led to this point how the war of Raphael has led him to make these decisions to him making these compromises to working with Crowley to looking for souls to having to try and change timelines trying to Prevent the Titanic from crashing all in the hope of doing the right thing This is a really cool mirror to what Sam was doing in season four doing the right thing But going about it in the wrong way and the other part I really like about this episode is The hallway joke I know that it completely ruins really what hell is especially after everything that Dean talked about But I love the idea of hell being an endless line that just keeps going over and over.  It doesn't die yet But that falling apart business was really fun and then seeing Sam kind of realized Hey, if they put my soul back into me I'm gonna become a melon builds that distrust builds that tension towards the midseason finale, which would be the next episode Caged heat is just fun.  There's this weird sluggy thing That's going into other people's ears. It's getting into Campbell's ears. It's getting to Bobby's ear It's getting into Dean's ear.  I thought it was great It really nailed home the thread of this episode and it held build up the idea of Eve Then the actual introduction of Eve did I feel the performances are all really well done We finally say fuck off to grandpa that part was really great the action in this episode is fun the Goop is really cool to see as well And that's why it's one of my favorite episodes of the season Is it one of the best ones for some you would say no but for me It is one of my favorite now we're coming up to the two and one now I imagine most of you know which ones these are but you don't know the order and it might surprise You number two is the French mistake. This is the changing channels meta breaking episode that I feel is the king between the two of them I love changing channels, but the problem with that episode is it doesn't really focus a lot on story It doesn't have a lot going on the French mistake While bringing the boys into the literal reality of filming the show that is supernatural There is story elements going on with this angel coming into this reality to hunt down Dean and Sam and There is this constant story element throughout rather than just kind of being tacked on to the end There's so much good humor in this episode every time I watch this episode. I'm on the floor just dying It's so well-written. There's so much great meta humor done both with the show's expense the fans expense and Jensen and Jared's expense especially when they make fun of their own names. Hey, man, Ben leski. Oh lucky. What lucky pretty sure Man, I really enjoyed this episode I liked that the boys were able to take their egos out of it if they had any at the time and they're like Yeah, let's make fun of ourselves such great sports and it led to Probably the best meta episode this show ever made and number one Weekend at Bobby's there's a few reasons why this episode is as good as it is Not just because of the content that's in it But also the placement of it this episode came at such a good time The first three episodes had been technically speaking for all intents and purposes stinkers So when weekend at Bobby's came out it Rejuvenated the supernatural community it rejuvenated my own love for this show I was already starting to wane this episode brought back exactly what I loved about this show the humor the characters the hard-hitting moments and The monsters having Bobby shove that thing in the woodshipper was great all of his Montages between him driving around breaking to the library Leading up on the Lord doing all the phone calls seeing everything that Bobby does was a really fun because we'd always gotten these little bits These little tidbits throughout the years of how Bobby does what he does back at the house But to see an entire episode of dedicated to it was really fun to see and the fact that this was Jensen's First directorial experience he did a really good job He put a lot of effort into this episode to make it what it is And it's really it's his best episode that he ever directed not only just in terms of his effort But also the writing I don't think any of his other episodes ever had as good Directing and writing as this one did weekend at Bobby's is a fun lovable scary intense Very laughable time and that is why it is my number one episode of season six. There we go guys Thank you for watching. Thank you for the patience there Let me know what your top five episodes of season six are in the comments below let's start a conversation about it And before I end the video, I'm just gonna give you a slight update about season seven It's not gonna come for a while and I'm not talking like a year or so It's just probably not gonna start until after September and the reason for that is One of my wedding business right now is at an all-time high. I am working every single day I'm actually taking time away from working on some of my clients videos right now to do this video So that's just letting you know how busy I am. I'm probably going to go back to work on film sets in August Probably so that is really gonna cut into my time and then in September I'm finally hopping across the pond to go and see London and Scotland for the first time in my life So that would kind of make it a little bit hard to add you guys's comments to those videos But rest assured I am going to start watching episodes of season seven and start doing pre-review soon But the reviews will not start coming out until at least I come back from Scotland So just give you guys a little bit of a heads up. I hope you guys can understand where I'm coming from here It's been really really busy. It's been a lot of work the last Three weeks. I can't believe it's only been three weeks. I've already shot six weddings. So it's been really really fun It's been super jam-packed super busy summer like right here is my window And that's the most sun I get to see it outside of actually being at weddings, but anyways guys I hope you understand. I hope you guys are excited. I apologize for the wait But like I said, I'm going to be starting to watch and review them I just won't be putting the videos up until I can properly add you guys's comments to them Anyways guys, that's all from me. I hope you enjoyed this video If you did leave a like and if you're interested in more subscribe and I hope you guys stick around for season seven because that's a season that I hold a lot of Infamy with a lot of distaste with but after seeing Andrew dabs fiasco run I'm willing to give season seven another chance. I hope you guys stick around and I hope you guys Stick with it and come back in for September, but in the meantime. I also got other reviews coming I've got the boys season three review coming I've got stranger things season four coming I've got Elvis review coming and I'm also going to maybe try and do a little bit of a theory video about what Castiel could have been as a villain But I have to watch the first episode of season seven to really do that video justice So either way guys, thank you again. Thank you for your comments. Thank you for your attention Thank you for your likes even your dislikes For all of the videos of season six. It was a very interesting ride I have to say I hold this season in a little bit higher regard now than I used to Still it is the weakest of all five all six seasons so far But it is just barely below one like I used to have it like down here But after all of my ratings and everything it was right here. So Give credit where credit is due. Anyways guys that is all for me I'm gonna let you go. Hope you guys have a good day and I'll see you guys next time


Where would you be had the Lord not rescued you from sin? Think of all the Lord has brought you through and consider this truth.  Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart, and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my spirit in you, so that you will follow my decrees, and be careful to obey my regulations. That's Ezekiel 36 verses 25 through 27. Whatever your past, God has a future in mind for you. You are a recipient of God's cleansing touch, that touch which has removed your guilt. Let go of the shame of yesterday, and with gratitude toward God step into newness of life. You may feel as though you have been disqualified from being used by God, but remember this, those who have been touched by the glory of God can be used for the glory of God. You have been purified for a purpose. I'm David D. Hernandez, and that is your Moment of Truth.
