Hey folks, welcome to another Monday in these markets. We are Monday the 24th of May 2021. We have had a hell of a ride since last Wednesday and indeed this weekend also on the crypto DeFi space really started with Elon Musk hammering the market really last or the weekend before last with comments then again through the week around Wednesday Tesla then not accepting Bitcoin for buying Tesla cars anymore and then coming into Friday we've had the Chinese authorities come out and say that they are going to clamp down hard on Bitcoin mining. They have reservations about the energy usage that these farmers, miners have on the general system. So I know a lot of people kind of confused as to what caused the downside volatility over the weekend and now really three o'clock yesterday GMT time the offers really started coming in across all these markets. You can pick the rhetoric that you want as to why we're selling off. For me it really is this Chinese authorities statement and they didn't outright say they were going to do anything towards banning that wasn't the word that they actually used. So they just said they were going to clamp down on the space. You know I think we have been here before with this type of rhetoric from the Chinese governments and from Beijing. So you know without further ado let's you know these charts are very technical. We are scant on fundamentals most of the time with these markets. So without further ado let's go and have a look at these charts. So you can see here really let's go to Bitcoin first where it all starts from you know a lot of a scare coming in here and this was this Wednesday 12th of May. This was you know Elon coming in and really hammering the markets down and then really coming into the middle of last week you know Wednesday here well Tuesday night really we'd hammered down on this candle putting in these lows here of well pressing below the support area which was essentially a high put in on the 26th of December last year day after Christmas. And so we crushed down below there triggering some stops before them finishing that session and closing that session out. You know quite well on the bounce the following day we did have a little bit more of a bounce however you know I was kind of poking at some of the people who were buying that maybe bounce last night because you know we had it had continued to dip the nightmare for all dip buyers right. So you know by the by anyway we've had a pretty drastic selling day yesterday pressing down again on the 31 427s area here and you know for me I think you know that this market isn't really out of the woods here. Yes it does look like it's the the sell side pressure has abated for now and we probably are going to tip on back to 46069s up here but I really I'm not sure what we're what we're going to get when we come back to the 46069s. I'm pretty sure it is going to make an attempt to come back into this range that I've identified here that range how I put in the 7th of Jan this year and the range sort of sorry the range low started really to accept if you like as a market area on the 27th of February here and then we sort of struggled at the tops all the way through March essentially well early March and then trying to get above but just couldn't hold it and so the top of that range really then proven containment for this price action to crush a stand to where we are now you can see even on this arrow here you know you can see the market did identify with the range did see that there was a nice area to buy there except you know liquidation continued capitulation still continues in this market you know I'm not seeing a huge wave of buying coming in on this 31 427s on the low so you know I want to keep a lot of dry powder on the sidelines right now yeah I've taken some more Ethereum as of this morning taken some more ripple as of very early this morning so let's get over and have a look at those markets but for me Bitcoin I'm not going to be surprised if we see the 20k marker again at all and what I said on Twitter is once we get then the 20k the world and his mother know that there are a ton of stops to trigger below 20k because probably not a lot of people want to take a soap 20k right on this product if they're if they're really buying anywhere above 30s you know I think that's a hell of a bad risk war picture there but by and large I think most of the people holding this are our holders you know the diamond hands all of this sort of stuff so I think things could get wild if we put in a day closing below the 31 427s and that's really you know all I want to say about this so I am going to put on a little buy zone area down here for if and when we do get there so that's Bitcoin you know there is a school of thought that I would that I would subscribe to that would say this is the kind of leader coin Ethereum is number two that's just a given but the school of thought I have is that you know Bitcoin is fundamentally driving the boss here across this whole space and so you know we have a lot of derivatives and a lot of the yield farming is indeed based upon Bitcoin and Ethereum constructs if you like the you know staking Ethereum staking Bitcoin so therefore and you know if these coins do come off and it is going to cause a much wider spread disruption across the sort of the tokenomics if you like at play in the yield farming space and in the staking space and so therefore you know should we get that pressure down on Bitcoin we are going to see much lower prices across across the whole picture here now to talk about the number two coin that we all know about Ethereum these are all daily bars by the way you know we're not going to get caught up in the intro day and this stuff really because the obvious moves are happening here so yeah I like this high on Ethereum to the dollar putting around 2000 2000 level it has been supported on the way up and the you know the market is not accepting a close below this area so far come very close last night closing at about 2103s and you know we're now a bit up all for this area do I do I do I believe in this this is the bottom for Ethereum I don't think I have to I think I just need to know what value is you know and if I see the value being held I can continue to trade that and I see the value here is you know I'm in this thing personally and I think a lot of people are and for you know a much bigger trade than a scalper position and we're in this for a big swing and a fundamental trade more than anything else so fundamentally I believe in 2000 Ethereum absolutely is value and so crushing closing below here yeah we could be buyer at 1357 which is this next area down here I like that I think it's that's a good price I don't really see if we are to get below their decent support or resistance so if I change to a logarithmic chart and just put this on automatic we're going to be able to see a little bit of that here and so we're looking at yeah some of these prices you know but you're talking silly prices by comparison where we are now like about the 428 sorry 495s and we've also got a market here at the 366s now these are I'm not saying that we're going to trade these prices but it's always good to know if you've traded oil from you know plus $40 to negative $40 it does always pay dividends to have these levels marked up and really never say that anything is impossible in a market so you know I do like the logarithmic because we can we can get to see the activity down here at these smaller prices so for me I think the support ultimate support here is 1357s I don't know if we're going to trade that I have bought more Ethereum in this session so far and yeah you know I'm holding in there guys and girls so technically I wouldn't be scared on any action from sort of the 2000 down to the 1357s but I'm certainly not going to be aggressively just buying in buying in buying into the freefall and should we get that and you know and if we take an excursion below the 1357s I'm just going to sit on it really and and and and and weather the storm you know I think there's a longer trade as I was saying so that's Ethereum for you and just let me I think I have to turn this one back do I know there we go that'll be fine so that's Ethereum on the logarithmic what else should we go to Ripple you know Ripple is kind of interesting in that it has an ongoing sec investigation or be it that investigation rhetoric the tone from that investigation has been softening towards Ripple one thing to be really aware of here folks is that one of the founders of Ripple liquidated about 265 million coins over the weekend right so that may have led to a certain amount of denser pressure in the overall picture but you know I'm pretty bullish on on Ripple for you know the two-spot three four marker at the top here this is Ripple to the euro so you just you know that currency adjusts for the two-spot three four euro center yeah I think the structure of this market is still holding I think we have a consolidation zone that we were in down here by ways like this I think we had the breakout and I think we look at that you know to the tip we've pulled back and traded that and now we're going big and I think fine this is good I like it bullish you know I think this this pullback we've had just on any of these coins actually is incredibly bullish never knew all-time highs to come this summer now I know you know under traditional technical analysis that may not be something that you would be so so aggressively getting on with that trade but you know having traded these things now for about six months you know there is a rhythm and there is a sort of a pattern to the buying the selling the sell-offs then the rebuy off the bottom so you know you kind of got to be monitoring these things but sure if I switch this to a logarithmic it might actually show you a better picture as well same with a lot of these a lot of these coins so I just switch on automatic again and then funny there that it's actually curving this this what was a straight line that's pretty I've never seen that in a charting system before and so let's just get this play ball a little bit logarithmic charts are not all together the easiest things in the world and actually I think I'm limited by the amount of data I can get off Binance here yeah I am so all right we're just going to put that back to your standard linear chart anyway from now and do a bit of this cool so that's ripple very bullish on ripple link yeah link is really you know by this bear flag that it fell out of bed down to test the range did take an initial day buying over that range here on this day I did have a buy on that from my own buying again this is not investment advice this is purely entertainment and educational purposes that we're doing this so yeah I did have a buy there I actually didn't buy it because I just saw this this selling was so heavy we're now back into you know holding on the bottom of this range which is about 17 bucks sorry 17 euro bucks per link and I'd be interested to see now if we can hold this range and and get bid on back up but albeit you know I don't want to be just trading the range I want to be trading the breakout on on the top of the range and so maybe you know some headwinds are really picking up for for rip or sorry link chain link coin at this time albeit it is a high-grade what I would term a high-grade and defy system and network and coin so you know it is quite expensive at 18 bucks but you know the value is the value for me on this coin I actually did mean to add magic to here and probably do that super quick if you give me a little second I could get my matic up here I'll just add this and then I'll just copy charge and then we'll just do a quick little bit of CR chart magic if you hold with me here and then we're going to matic because the the technicals on matic were actually very clear and clean as of last night actually sorry it's this morning at about 4am so let's just see if we can get the matic up here we can matic we'll just do matic to the euro for now okay okay let's just copy the symbol anyway do you pick this chart too chart and then we'll have and a deity 60 minute we'll call this one and we'll just hide that one so we can look at the deity bar here on matic I'll just get some text on here cool so this is matic on the let me get the one day bars yeah it's quite scant in terms of how much data I'm allowed to pull down from Binance if I can load a whole lot more no I can't however this sort of range was what I was looking at here on matic into this buying you could even say the consolidation range was sort of here given that these candles couldn't close into that range and so this is why I'm kind of bullish on matic to the euro let me just widen this out a bit so I have been looking into matic over the weekend I know I'm probably slow to look into it like a person to the rest of the market however this is a pretty high-grade DeFi coin and network system a few friends in the states and indeed one of the traders on the elite team is an avid matic trader and you know I do like this coin cheap at the price one dollar one euro 15 cent at market you can see how how beautiful a breakout pullback it is here on this former range that we really started putting in 28th of April this year to the breakout and then the pullback that we had the 14th of May so you know I really like the structure of this market I really like the potential here for a new all-time high you know looking at looking at the chart calculator just get my chart calculator probably looking at from the pullback on the high basically open up today up to probably the all-time high is going to be that's a 60.47 percent move to back up to the highs here and I think it's going to do it so that's a pretty good risk reward here and yeah we like it I like it so uh doge I mean talking about doge yeah it's funny because I do I do see a shift across the part across media uh crypto and investing media towards doge being the people's coin everyone wants doge no one's thinking about supply and but you know with the massive overhang of of limitless supply essentially on this thing it's really hard to then fundamentally say well why should this be why should should this trade much higher prices I just I just don't know right so yeah I had a buy point here on doge that I was interested in and I think there's a little bit more downside pressure I'd rather be buying the bottom of the range and then really see that thing get on up from there and you know stop that below so you know I'm holding from like well five cents on this thing so you know it's it's been a rough ride to see this pullback but I mean this is a complete flyer lottery ticket for me um you know I'm not trying to get too clever with my uh doge or yeah doge trades um stellar again you can see a lot of these coins now picking it up from the bottom of the range and so we have to then stick with what we normally would see is that we'll we simply just trade to the top of that range and and then we make further decisions but the trade right now is buying the bottom of the range selling out at the top so middle of the range here on stellar to the euro is spot 38 cent right here and you can see that's quite clearly traded as a line in the sand before going up and then you know on the way back down pretty much to the tick we had that really bad day there the 18th of May and then the following day where it tried to get there on up like pretty much to the tick on the 38 euro cent to the stellar limit so very technical stuff very very technical markets boys and girls so I do like stellar I it's a stellar is actually my largest weighted holding uh for uh all um all uh you know hands uh to be clear about that uh so what else yeah it's no surprise that given in the soft bitcoin environment that if you are trading hbar uh denominated in bitcoin well you can see this this is actually having a great time holding on the breakout of the range here and you know should we get further downside in bitcoin hbar is going to be loving that and given the way that it's configured on a lot of the platforms to really be denominated in bitcoin or USDT or any of these stable coins so I do see a lot further upside for hbar this coming week and yeah I think you know it's going to be a week where you're going to get paid out for holding and I'm not going to fluff that scared out of your trades so you know that's going to a wrap from me for the crypto for this week and if anyone else has anything they would like me to cover for next week or during midweek you know feel free to reach out to me in the discord and that we have um the amplify live discords I know a lot of the guys here are with me live right now in the discord or you can reach out to me at t.dogan at amplifytrading.com so or you can get me on twitter at timdog t-i-m-d-u-g and yeah I'd be more than happy to have a chat so listen guys for me it's a week of holding buying more keeping the powder dry maybe deploying a little bit of it now maybe maybe a lot of it that's entirely up to you and I'm certainly not a financial advisor but um yeah it's going to be an interesting week to see what crypto does from from the selling it's had so far so have a good week and I look forward to seeing some of you in the discord chat room and yeah be good cheers


They're drowning. It's a murky, inky ocean of their disability, and pain, and sadness, and disorientation, and fear, and depersonalization, and forgetfulness, amnesia. They're drowning in all this. This ocean of misery. And their eyes lock into yours. And their arms are extended in a silent plea for help. A cry stifled, silent, absent. And you feel the urge to just walk to the waterfront.  The closer you get to them, the more their eyes shine bright with hope. They regard you as a savior, a messiah, a fixer of all ailments, the one. And somewhere in some recess or corner of your mind, it is gratifying. It is gratifying to help another human being, to reduce anxiety, to ameliorate hurt and agony, to stop this inexorable spiral to the bottom, that these people are clearly, clearly experiencing and encountering. It's also a bit grandiose to feel like a savior, or a fixer, or a rescuer. There is this too. But much more than this, it's simple pity, compassion. The wish to not witness another human being disintegrating, self-destructing, self-loathing, self-defeating, and finally self-less without a self altogether. Transforming incrementally, gradually, from a presence with a promise, with a potential, with life. Transforming from existence to an absence, to a howling void. Then you want to prevent this. You just want it to stop. You want it to not happen. You don't want this to occur. And the more they are distraught, the more they are afraid, like little children in the dark, the more they cry out for your help, the more they incentivize you and they motivate you to just wade into the water. Never mind the depth, never mind the waves, never mind anything. Just wade into the water and drag them out with all your force and might and possibilities. And you do that, and when you clasp their hands, they try to drag you down with them to this kingdom under the water that is their mind.  It's almost biblical. They want you to eat of the fruit and then be expelled from paradise. They want you to share, to share in their pain. They want you to understand in depth and firsthand what they are going through. They want, in other words, to infect you. And that's why vampiric analogies are pretty apt and true. It is a normal human reflex to help others. There is empathy, there's compassion, there's the wish to spread good. And these are irresistible urges and drives, possibly biological, definitely social. From a very early age, formative years, months actually, up to age six, you have been socialized, you have been conditioned to be essentially charitable, altruistic, loving, caring, giving. Of course, up to a point, but still, that is the default option. People give, people help, people care, majority of people. Not talking about narcissists and psychopaths, talking about mentally healthy people. And so when you come across anyone with a disability, physical or mental, you want to make their lives better and easier. You want to introduce some joy and cheer and a ray of light into the darkness that they roam and reside in, despite their will. Instinctively, you feel that they are hostages, that they are not there voluntarily, wherever they may be. That this dreamscape, nightmarish dreamscape, that they constantly wander in, is not of their own making, that they are victims. And in most cases, you would be absolutely right to think this way. And so there's a lot of pity, a lot of commiseration and a fount of compassion that is uncontrollable in the overwhelming vast majority of people. And even among mental health practitioners and professionals who should know better. But here's my advice to you. Harden your heart. Harden your heart. Walk away. No. Run away. Save yourself. These people cannot be helped. They don't want to be helped. They want you to become like them.  They have strong resistances and defences against healing, or they would have been healed by now. They want contagion. They want you to experience with them their illness, their debilitation, their paralysis. They want you to become as mentally quadriplegic as they are, confined to a psychological wheelchair. They want you disabled. They want to cripple you to bring you to their level, because only then can they feel that they belong, that they are accepted. Only then they don't experience abandonment anxiety. What motivates people like you who are otherwise healthy to engage mental illness in a way which could infect you, an infestation that could penetrate your mind and snatch it? What tempts you to play with this cold fire? The first thing is emotional blackmail. Mentally ill people, definitely borderline personality disorder, dependent personality disorder also known as codependency.  Many of them don't do it malevolently, cunningly and schemingly as a psychopath would do. Many of them do it because the only way they know to survive is to push your buttons and they do it in a bewildering variety of ways. They can guilt-trip you. They can say, I sacrificed my life for you. You owe me.  I need you. I cannot cope without you. I'll fall apart without you. I'll commit suicide without you. And then there's the goal-driven variety of emotional blackmail. We have a common goal. We must achieve this thing together. We are in this together. We are one. We are a unity. We are twin flames. I don't know. We are soulmates. This is a form of emotional blackmail, of course. And finally, there's the explicit variety. If you do not adhere to my principles, beliefs, ideology, religion, or any other set of values, if you don't obey my instructions, if you don't give me your time, all of it, without exception, if you don't make me the pinnacle and the pivot and the axis and the exclusive asset of your life and existence, I will impose sanctions on you. And the list is long. Emotional blackmail is a gambit in the chess game that mentally disabled people play with you. They have to play this game. Don't be angry at them. Don't castigate and chastise them. There's no place for a diatribe or vitriolic attack on these people. They know no better. This is the survival strategy that they had evolved as children. These are tactics and strategies of the weak, including, among other things, passive aggression, deceptiveness. Weak people do this. Lying. Emotional blackmail draws you in. That's the bait. It reels you into the hallucinatory, phantasmagoric paracosm of the mentally ill. And then when you're there already introduced into the simulation that passes for a life in their habitation, it's too late to turn your back on them and just walk out. Walk out of this delusional space. In the case of the narcissist, for example, the shared fantasy. Once you had allowed yourself to be blackmailed emotionally, once you had succumbed to the extortionist, you're in trouble. As we all know, kidnappers, extortionists, blackmailers, they're never sated. There's never enough. They always come with new demands. Victims of mental illness had learned one thing, helplessness. They have learned helplessness and they leverage their helplessness. They use it as a bludgeon, as a blunt instrument that control you from the bottom. Their submissiveness is a polished weapon which they wield against you mercilessly. They communicate to you, I'm helpless. I'm submissive. I'm obedient. You owe me because of this. You owe it as a human being with minimum ethics and morality. You owe it to help me because I'm another human being in trouble and in dire straits and in distress. And you have an obligation, moral and ethical and religious maybe, to help me out.  It's a survival strategy. It's a positive adaptation. It's not the absence of something. It's the presence of helplessness.   You're hooked on trying to make things better, to make them better, to endow them with a minimum feeling of content and happiness. It becomes a project from which you cannot extricate yourself because you emotionally invest in the task of making them happier and different. And I call this learned parenting or acquired parenting.  They parentify you. And this role is learned and acquired. It's not you. It's artificial. It's like a shell or like a wrap. And so it's like a spider wrapping his prey with cobwebs. This is learned parenting or acquired parenting. It's the complement, the other side of the coin of learned helplessness. Their learned helplessness provokes in you your learned or acquired parenting. Carpman described it in the famous drama Triango, the abuser, the victim and the rescuer in internal family system. We have internal voices, inner voices, the kind of introjects which play these roles.  As her learned helplessness resonates with your learned or acquired parenting, you bond like every parent and child. The narcissist, for example, coerces you into the role of a mother. And gradually you develop maternal feelings towards the narcissist. You begin to see him as a child. And so acquired parenting is the first step towards intimacy that generates or fosters bonding and attachment, which are exceedingly powerful, very difficult to break. And when you do succeed to unravel these invisible threads that bond you, the feeling is horrendous.  When you have to walk away, when it's too much, even for you, you feel horrible.   To use a phrase by Richard Graham. So this combination is addictive. And like every addiction, the minute you break it, the minute you win yourself of this drug, there's cold turkey.  It decompensates you in clinical terms.  It's a process of osmotic permeation. You become one inhabiting a single space of mutually enhancing insanity.  And how can you let go of your child? How can you leave her behind, crying, threatening suicide on the verge of falling apart or falling apart? How can you witness what is happening to her? You immediately take responsibility, you attribute to yourself all these outcomes. Not realizing that whatever it is that's happening to her once you had left is nothing to do with you. These dynamics are inherent in her. And with or without you, they would have come out to play. These dynamics would have played out themselves. They would have unfolded even in your absence.  Once you find yourself enmeshed in the blackmailed space of learned helplessness and acquired parenting or learned parenting, you develop something which I call dysfunctional responsibility over the top responsibility. Failing responsible for things and dynamics and emotions and cognitions and processes in the other person when you should never be responsible for anyone's state of mind. Remember this, I'm going to repeat it. You are never ever responsible for another person's state of mind. You are never ever responsible for another person's decisions and choices. You are never ever responsible for another person's happiness. You are never ever responsible to maintain another person. These are not your responsibilities and if you feel that they are, you are in the throes. You have developed dysfunctional responsibility. It's a kind of parentifying role, parent role. You feel that it's up to you to make things better. It's up to you to make people around you happy. It's up to you to serve them and service them. It's up to you to make sure that all their needs are met and catered to. It's up to you. It's not up to you. It's sick. It's pathological. It's part of the contamination of the infection. It's a symptom. At dead stage, you transition from asymptomatic to symptomatic the minute you feel thus counter factually responsible.  He attributes everything that's happening to him to outside forces which are beyond his grasp and beyond his ability to manipulate or to control. This is called external locus of control. The most mentally ill people never take responsibility for their actions. They are never held accountable by themselves. They don't consider that they have ever done anything wrong. Everything they did was right and proper. It is outside forces that are misbehaving somehow. Outside agencies, institutions, other people, you. You are responsible for everything that's happening to them. Because by the mere fact that you are external, they have alloplastic defenses. They blame their misery, their pain, their agony and hurt, their wrong decisions and wrong choices. They're acting out their misbehavior, their misconduct, their recklessness and the outcomes and consequences of all these. They attribute this to you. You made it happen. You made them behave this way or misbehave this way. It's always you, always up to you. Nothing would have happened without you. You set this train in motion. Had you not been there, she would have been happy. She would have been content. She would have been resilient. He would have been loyal, faithful. It's all because of you. Alloplastic defenses and external office of control collaborate with emotional blackmail. They make you feel guilty. You buy into this version, this narrative of reality because it caters to your grandiosity. You want to feel that you are the mover and shaker and the first cause of everything. You want to feel good life. It's intoxicating to have so much power over another person, even for healthy people.   You are the creator.  And you are able to shape and mold her and lead her and into any state of mind that you wish. You regulate her. You're responsible for the regulation of her moods, her effects, even her cognitions. She would tell you, your brainwashed me. I think the same way you do. Your voice is in my mind. You're in control of my thoughts. Don't buy into any of this. Mental illness is an autonomous phenomenon that has very, very little to do, alas, with externalities and with reality. Reality does not impinge or match and does not affect much mental illness. It unfolds and unfurls in the innermost chambers of the mind of the mentally ill person, almost inexorably, almost without stopping. Whether you came into her life or not, she would have still been in exactly the same spot she is today. Whether you had abandoned her or not, same. Whether you have treated her well or abused her, same. Mental illness is a one-way ticket with a very clear destination. You can hasten the process, of course. You can hasten the process by abusing the mentally ill person, which is of course a cruel and horrible thing to do. But you're only hastening the inevitable. You are only a catalyst. You're never a reason for anything.  Do not acquire parenting. Do not have learned parenting and do not develop dysfunctional responsibility.  And she's drowning very, very often because she refuses to exit the water, although she definitely can, very often with your help. She doesn't want help. The mentally ill person does not want help. Never mind how much she protests, that she does want help. Never mind how much she says that she wants to get better, that she wants things to change, that she will never repeat her mistakes, that with your help she will be a different person, don't buy into any of these nonsense. She may even believe these things, but it doesn't make them true.  The reality testing is short. They don't know what they're doing. They're no longer with us. They're gone. So let them go.


And to entertain the news now, the former husband of Tiwa Savage, Tunji Balogun, better known as T-Bills, has taken down all the online pictures of himself and his son Jamil. This comes amid controversy of the singer's leaked sex video, which has gone viral. The video has continued to generate widespread reactions on social media. News updates.


Welcome to Fedora, the vehicle for Automotive Linux. We are Allison King and Steven Smugin. I'm Allison King. I'm a technical project manager within the Automotive program, which means I work with engineering teams, both within Red Hat and partner engagement teams to identify customer requirements, build upon them, and then ultimately shape the future of the in-vehicle operating system, all within the agile framework. And to put it in other terms, I'm a cat herder. My name is Steven Smugin. I'm a long-time Red Hat Fedora employee who's done many different things and different roles. Most of them get titles after I've completed them. So today we're going to take you through how we are building a lean and agile team to plan and execute on requirements for the Red Hat in-vehicle operating system. With Red Hat's already established presence in the upstream Linux and cloud communities, we want to take the time today to explain a little bit more about how we'll be establishing a presence in the Automotive community through the Automotive CentOS SIG, as well as other public-facing communities such as Fedora. What we will not be covering is since neither of us are lawyers or speculative fiction writers, though my status reports do say otherwise, anything we would say on legal questions would quickly veer into science fiction of how we would like the world to work versus how it would actually do so. We also will not be covering how you might be able to install Fedora on a car's computer. Most of the current computers that the Red Hat in-vehicle operating system is aimed at are still in late prototype development. As with many new systems, again, it is very speculative how this would work in reality. So just to catch everybody up on what Red Hat in-vehicle operating system is all about, it's really, it's no secret that cars are becoming more and more dependent on software and technology or that there's a push for electric vehicles. At the same time, many automobile manufacturers are starting to realize that these classical methods of proprietary operating systems just aren't scalable and they won't work for the long term. So the Red Hat in-vehicle operating system is being developed to enable and accelerate many of these current trends in the automotive space in ways that traditional proprietary systems just can't handle. So the goal is to move the automotive industry into a more scalable and nimble way of design. So our original development plans went something like this. We would work with various center sigs and center stream and mirror how rel was developed. However, we actually went through this painful journey. We realized it glossed over a lot of important parts that we had to go further back on. It's like watching a cooking show and having the cake pulled out of the oven, but you're not told how anything was put together or where the eggs came from, the leavening and spices, and a lot of our work still needed to grind flour, find chickens and grow a vanilla tree. So I'm going to use an image that Alexandra Fedorovic Alentus that she's done for her talks to give us a better idea of how this works. Packages are accumulated into Fedora repositories and then snapshot it into regular releases of Fedora ELN. That gets broken into a release at some point like Fedora 34 or into a branch like Centostream. The Centostream is then eventually cooked further and becomes a Red Hat Enterprise Linux internally after some testing and other things. We then take a subset of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux and we do further testing, documentation, and certification all during this whole timeframe we're working on this stuff, catching up with things. And we are also, in a way, this graph doesn't show, pulling things backwards from things. So this is really complex. How do we make this happen on top of all the customer requirements? We do that the same way you need a six foot diameter pie. We break it up into smaller bites. And I'm just realizing that we really must have been hungry when we were doing this presentation because we've made multiple references to food. I mean, starting before everything started and now it slides in. But, you know, got to do what you got to do. But we do handle development the same way that we would handle eating this six foot diameter pie. We break it up with so many unknowns and so much discovery. We need to break things up into manageable chunks each sprint that are capable of delivering an increment or in other terms a bite. And doing this means more changes to Fedora and CentOS and it means those changes come to you faster. So yes, that does mean we're using agile methodologies to deliver Red Hat in Vehicle OS to operating systems and the community. And as many of you have heard at Osium, agile is an iterative approach and it involves and empowers customers and self organizing teams to solve problems faster than traditional development styles. And since none of you came here for a lecture on agile, I did add a picture of a dog to keep your attention as I got through just one more slide because we did feel it was important to mention how we're developing because it impacts the speed and quality of the software changes flowing into Fedora. We have joint development work that really keeps the customer involved early and often and the teams that are working with the customers have the autonomy to discover and solve problems all with a continuous improvement and systems thinking mindset. So why do you still care now that the puppy's gone? In the classical format, each part of this layered cake you see is narrowly defined with large amounts of pre-planning and documentation built and written that can take years to complete without any results actually ever being to flippered or defined. Generally each tier in this layered cake has minimum interactions with other layers to improve or change things. With agile and Red Hat in Vehicle OS, these changes are moving in a faster fashion depending on the software parts. The communication of requests may skip levels going up and down. Instead of large waterfall solutions where you would need to buy a new car every couple of years to get a different application set, they will happen in steady iterations so that a 2027 car may still be getting software improvements up until 2037. So agile, Fedora, and automotive development, how the heck do all these things tie together? And it's not a bad riddle and don't worry, I'm not going to call on any of you to answer it. But we're here to answer that today and take you through our process. So as we mentioned earlier, we do, we involve customers early and often, and then we solution based on their needs and requirements that are determined in these joint interactions. And from here we frequently push changes into Fedora that are available for all of you guys to see and collaborate on. So buckle up and we'll take you through the process of how we handle this in the next few slides. So we'll start with the generic layout that will describe how we go from customer needs to Fedora. And it all starts with requirements. And just a reminder, this is based on agile and lean solutions. So that's why you're seeing the customer being involved in so many facets of what we're doing and talking about today. But we start with the requirements that are sourced through these customer interactions. And then we take the parts of the problem and work on them and interdependent teams. We have different problems and we break them all down into different stages. And some of these stages look something like this. Hmm, what about this? Oh, all right, that works. Let's make it better now. And okay, now we need to see if this works with other things. And as time goes on and these solutions are refined, teams feed these solutions into various upstreams like OS build, kernel, lib camera, et cetera. And these smaller solutions are merged into Fedora where they can be used by workstation or other groups needing similar functionality. And last but not least, this is the slide that you didn't ask for because it's not Fedora specific, but we did want to show it to you because this final stage shows how these solutions are then farmed up into the automotive stream to allow customer solutions to be worked on immediately. So now we're going to kind of go a quick overview of one problem we've had to deal with. One of the biggest and ongoing problems we're having to figure out solutions for is getting a camera to a screen within two seconds. It is a very complex issue currently being us worked on by Eric Curtin at Red Hat, which we're not going to be able to give a lot of detail on to the level he could, but it is a good example of how we're making things work all the way through. So we started with the problem, which is that various regulations in the EU and the US require that for a rear view camera to be operational within two seconds of the car being started from ground state. Currently in new cars, combustion vehicles, this is done through dedicated hardware solutions which bypass a lot of stuff so that it can just be done. But how does a manufacturer do this with a software defined vehicle where everything's being run through via central computers? Well, we had to go figure out a lot of different spikes to figure out what things were, how do we make the boot go faster? How do we get an image up in Plymouth? What kind of daemon do we use to show images from the rear view camera? What kind of camera is it? Where's the network? Once the spikes have been fully explored and merged upwards, we started upstreaming the solutions to various open source groups, which impacted the kernel, lib camera, jacuz, system D, and several other places that had improvements silently put in, not saying that they were from this. The changes are then worked through those upstreams down in the fedora, either during release or in raw hide to future releases. Some of the solutions are also back ported back in the center stream automotive deliverables. Those can then be evaluated, be included in RHEL or RIVUS over time. They're also delivered to customers for them to look at. So what else might be working on and landed on from fedora from the automotive SIG? We are looking at CAN bus utilities. CAN bus shows up in a lot of tooling. Your refrigerator and your washing machine probably have a CAN bus attachment in it that your technician would hook up to to look at things and find out why the washing machine is not working. Beyond CAN bus, we are looking at SAE J1939. This is more industrial equipment and would actually show up more into edge devices. But it is everything from giant chemical machines to dump trucks and 18 wheelers. HTTP over UDP libraries. Many car parts are actually talking to each other using HTTP over UDP. It's a faster protocol in some ways, but it doesn't work exactly the same way as HTTP does. Various tooling that we're finding from the Connected Vehicles Assistance Alliance. We are pulling things out and porting them in. DLT Daemon, VSUM I3P, things like that. And also various utilities from QT because most of automotive is C++ based and is QT based. So it is a lot of various things are being tied in and pulled in from there. So, what hardware did we do a lot of our initial development on? As everyone knows, there's a lot of things going on and we found that we had one solution. And we've gotten some choice quotes from developers to help explain what those things were. Hello, I'm Justin Curse and I found this hardware to be very slow. I eventually switched to buying a four-year-old used Android phone, put a container on it and boom! A week's worth and done it in an hour. I leaned over here. Most of the automobile manufacturers are looking to use boards with completely different processors.  Well, Joe King couldn't make it his flight to Nest, so I'm filling in. We would not have been able to succeed on this hardware without the extra help and care we got from Peter Robinson and Pablo Greco. We thank them very much. Well, I definitely can't top the slide from our friends on the quotes that our friends provided on the slide above. And big thank you to Eileen Dover, Justin Case and Joe King for putting themselves on the line to say these great things. So after hearing all this, why the heck did we choose the Raspberry Pi 4 as our hardware development platform? Well, there's a few reasons. Aside from the chip shortage and the community support, we did find some other benefits to using the Raspberry Pi 4. So many of our partners have very strict security requirements, which do not allow them to use cloud AR64 and AWS or other places without years and years of audits. Others had hardware, which was slow enough that made the Pi seem fast. But all in all, the slowness of the Pi is something that allowed members of our team to focus on parts of the boot, which were actually too fast on virtual machines or snappier hardware. At the time we started working on this about two years ago, we found many of our partners were using out of date operating systems using tools aimed better at 32-bit embedded solutions versus a 64-bit workstation class hardware they were actually aiming to use. We worked in multiple stages to get their solutions working with rail and showed that it could be worked cleanly. The original two sets of partners we had then wanted to explore a more native rail solution and we quickly transitioned to using EL8 and OS Builder. However, we also began running into issues with the EL8 systems. It had been designed around 2019 and Fedora 29, which was much newer than the 2014 OS that the partners were using, if not the 2012 one. However, the various applications they were working on actually needed stuff that was not in EL8 at all yet. At the time, EL9 was still very early in development with ELN only being worked on in some stages. This is where we began really pulling a lot of stuff out of Fedora into quick deliverables in order to meet the customer expectations and then feeding back whatever problems we were running to back into the Fedora solutions. So what were we feeding back to Fedora and how are we doing it? We were working together in short sprints with these partners to create solutions to address their concerns and their needs. So we had worked together on various QT libraries and compilers and other tools were even recompiled for EL8. Work was also done to get ELN and then CentOS Stream 9 working on the test hardware that we had. And last but not least, we worked with the upstream and Fedora OS tree teams to get tooling fixes in place. So that was really the path forward with Fedora. And I know we've taken you through a lot of different Fedora examples today, but that really brings us to the end of what we wanted to discuss. But we wanted to share with you where else you might run into our team or some of the solutions that we talked about today. So as everybody knows, Red Hat is involved very heavily in the community and this slide just outlines some of the places that we are involved. And there's, honestly, there's plenty of ways to join us on the ride of a lifetime for anyone who's interested. All right, I think we're down to doing questions. I apologize for not answering them during hands, but I have the same problem. Matthew Miller mentioned in his talk, looking at the chat while I'm trying to do a talk means I scroll. And, well, sorry, scroll. All right, so we will now do some questions. I apologize for if people needed to do questions beforehand and stuff. I will try and get through things backwards as possible. So let me do one more thing. There we go. So Matthew Miller asked, so in this model some things might go from Fedora to Centosig but not to Centostream and current rel. Yes. In that some of these things are not. Some of the things that we are building as sample applications that are in Fedora, but will not be in the normal release of the OS. This allows a partner who may have their own version of the vSum3 IP that they've tested and dealt with that they're going to go and use that instead for but they need to have something that they can show with their partners in an open area that we would be building. So the QT stuff and the other little daemons will probably go there into a SIG, but they wouldn't show up in stream or rel. Other things like fixes to jacoot and kernel items may show up in the real time kernel or they may show up in other in stream and rel as we improve the overall experience of fast boot. I miss this one. I apologize. Ricardo. I just want to jump in real quick before you move on from that Steven. Just a shameless plug that we do have auto SD. So automotive stream distribution is the automotive equivalent to the CentOS stream distribution for rel. Yeah. So some of the automotive specific things will show up there as well. I cannot answer your question on this record. Grossman Nielsen. I'm not a BU person. I'm an enterprise person. So I do not know our business model and how it is done. It's we I think we are doing direct things because we an automobile developer dealer doesn't want to have a free OS. They're going to be supporting they are legally on the hook to support this car for 20 years in some cases. They need to make sure that whoever they're paying for the software is going to be around for 20 years. And that changes the whole dynamic of business models and what type of operating system they can put into it. Beyond beyond that I can't answer because I'm I'm not a BU person. And I think the functional safety certification aspect of the red hat and vehicle OS is something that adds a little more complexity to this. Yes, as well. Functional safety is a huge talk on its own. And I'm not an expert enough to even start on it other than the fact that every part of what we ship has to be go through a whole bunch of documentation and testing and certification by outside vendors, which is actually part of the reason why what it. There's only specific versions that will be certified and certifications do not transfer and all those kinds of things that we get back to that slide about legal questions. Okay, does this mean we'll see Raspberry Pi support incentives rail at some point or is it only going to be hidden in the corner of the center stream. I have no idea. Not my it's a view that's a view question. Sorry. I can't answer that. There is. We will support it in our group as we need to. But other those are other product lines and things that have other decisions to make, sort of like we're not supporting automotive on the power PC. And we're not, we're not going to port our stuff to be on a nest 390. Not going to happen. So, that's our decision. And unless you really want to have a, I mean, we probably do it on 18 wheeler if you had the, the, the wheeler contain the s 390 and the parts but it be hard. Will that aim for it toward a higher level of driver customization. Are we talking about Colonel drivers or car driver customization. Right to Colonel driver so I'm going to go with Colonel drivers for this. Kernels are. Oh, Huey Huey drivers. No. Huey's are owned by the manufacturer. The Huey is going to be that is an experience that the manufacturer is delivering as an add on thing that they want to have to be their stuff. We haven't done anything with that at the moment other than we'll drive your, your monitors for you. And how it looks and what is done in that is, you know, Ford is going to make it so that Ford looks like a Ford and GM looks like a GM. And we are going to look at doing things that will be. Let me see if I missed any questions up here. We, there is talk of doing a, what is it the red ribbon car. Yeah. In the auto SD, if there are people who would like to build a Huey for a car and work on something like that, that would be, that would be a place where that could be tested out and played with on a Raspberry Pi or something, but it's not, it's not our currently our current goals. Most of them are just getting, making sure the hardware works in a safe and defined fashion. To go off of a little bit more of what Steven said too, it's the UI is definitely not in our scope for what we're developing now but the red hat in vehicle operating system is creating, I think a more standard platform for the developers at these automotive companies to develop on so I think, although it's not one of our key goals or something we are necessarily doing, it's something that's going to be impacted. I think the developers will have a more standard platform to, to design different user interactions and user experiences on top of red hat and vehicle operating system. So it is, I think ultimately that's something we'll see as a byproduct of our product, but it's not something that's at the core of what we're, we're trying to provide as Steven said, functional safety and stability are the core of what we're trying to, to provide here. Well, it is coming up to the top of the hour. Are there any more questions. One more just came into chat. Okay. Well, we've mentioned quick, which was pretty surprising given the RFC is released a, and makes me curious about this part of the stack and quick pretty much equals to boring SSL. Red Hat crypto team wasn't planning on adding to that. So how's that going to be handled? Will we see relevant parts in Fedora? Well, it would be first worked on through Fedora. I mean, it's not something we're, we're being asked to show that it can be done. Most of the vendors are going to have their own mid level libraries that they're going to use at this time. They've already paid for them. They've got their own certifications and programs and all this that they're going to do with their applications. However, they're wanting to show that it can be done in a general sense. So the quick I mentioned, because it is a form of UDP, HTTP over UDP, it may end up being a different version that is being looked at in the end. It may be slow. I don't know. But anyway, I don't have a full answer to that. I can try and look it up and get back to you. And with that, people do need to leave for other meetings. We're going to say goodbye. Thank you very much. We hope you had a good day. No, not Bobby. Oh, God, poor Bobby. I can't watch. Bye bye. Have a good day. Thank you all. We appreciate your attendance and all the questions.


I keep seeing Ravens fans going crazy about this, but in my honest opinion, I really don't think they should, especially when you look at things from a business point of view. A lot of Ravens fans have been tripping, they've been going crazy, they've been getting upset, they've been getting frustrated about the Ravens having visits with Anthony Richardson, a quarterback from the Florida Gators. He is projected to be a first round picker. I've seen some projections say he could be a third round pick, but y'all know how all this talk goes pre-draft. It's a lot of smoke screens out there, so just a lot of fillers. It's just a lot of all kind of different conversations when it comes to different players for different reasons. But Anthony Richardson has been one of the most talked about prospects heading into the draft at the quarterback position. That's why when it was said multiple times that the Baltimore Ravens have had visits with them, have gone to visit him, have had discussions with him and all that good stuff, a lot of fans, they freaked out. They got worried, they got scared, they got stressed. And I understand with the whole of Mark Jackson situation, it is very, very stressful. It is frustrating, it's just like it's not going away. It's not getting resolved. And I know so many Ravens fans are just ready for whatever that next step is gonna be, great or not so great. But we're just wondering what's gonna happen and when is it gonna happen. But with the Ravens, with them having visits with Anthony Richardson, I don't think it's a big deal because it's due diligence. Now I know we hear that word, that phrase, that term due diligence so much, and so often with the Baltimore Ravens. Usually when there's a free agent that all of us as Ravens fans are interested in, but the Ravens, they do their due diligence on that free agent, just to get a feel for the player, talk to the player, see how much the player would be. But then after that, we don't really hear anything a lot of times, well, especially if it's on all fans. But anyway, another conversation for another day. But with Anthony Richardson, you gotta think about it from a business point of view. Think about if you have an employee.  I want to make some more money at my position. And you're like, okay, all right, I know what you've done for this company. All right, this is what we're gonna offer you. There you go, there's your raise. Do you like it? You agree to it? So you pass him over that paper, he looks it over, say no, that's not good enough. I need more than that. I need something better than that. And you as the employer, you may look like, well, I'll think about it. And y'all continue to have conversation back and forth about this pay raise.  I want to go work for a different company. Since y'all not gonna pay me what I want to be paid, what I feel like I should be paid, I want to go work for a different company. What are you gonna do as the employer?  We're not gonna look at any other options just in case things go south with this employee. No, you're gonna look at other options too. First and foremost, you're gonna hope that you can come to a resolution with this employee that things could be worked out because this is one of your best employees. But like we always say, anything's possible till there ain't possible no more. And until your employee actually signs that raise, signs to accept that raise, then there's a chance that they may not be your employee for much longer. And you have to realize that you cannot just go with your heart when it comes to things like this. Because if teams, if businesses went with their heart when it came to a lot of their employees, those businesses would not make it out alive. And it's the same thing with the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson. Their heart says, or may have said, who don't know where their heart is at the moment. It don't really seem too good right now, but their heart might have said, hey, we want Lamar Jackson to be our guy. We want Lamar Jackson to be a Baltimore Raven for the foreseeable future. We wanna get him signed to a long-term contract so we can lock him up for years. We want him as our guy, QB1 or QB8. Hopefully he will be QB1 eventually, but we'll see. But they know at the same time, it's a possibility that this thing takes a different turn. It's a possibility that Lamar Jackson is not a Baltimore Raven for the foreseeable future. So in that case, you have to have contingency plans. You have to have backup options. You have to have other things and other scenarios that you have to consider. They looked at Jacoby Brissette and Baker Mayfield and even tried to sign a Baker Mayfield. But Baker Mayfield said, no, I'm straight. When that news came out, initially I was like, whoa, Baker Mayfield turned down the razor, but then I thought about it. I was like, oh, the Ravens, they went after Baker Mayfield.  This Lamar situation, we don't know how it's gonna go. Ravens probably don't even know how it's gonna go. So they looking at other options as just in case. Anthony Richardson, he's another option, just in case. I don't think it's anything to trip over or get upset or aggravated or frustrated or anything like that. Again, of course, everybody's entitled to how they feel about stuff. I can't sit up here and say, no, you don't get frustrated at that. Don't get upset at, no, no, no, no. I can't tell you how to feel. I can tell you how I feel. And I'm like, okay, they talking to Anthony Richardson? Yeah, I'm sure they talk to other quarterbacks too. You know, they talk to Baker Mayfield, try to talk to different people because they know what the situation is. We know what the situation is. Everybody knows what the situation is. And but at the same time, a lot of people don't know what the situation is going to be. And since they don't know what it's going to be, nothing is confirmed right now. Nothing is set in stone right now as to who the Baltimore Ravens starting quarterback will be. So you gotta have options. You want to do your homework on other things because you don't want to get caught lacking. You don't want to get caught slipping. And I mean, really, in my opinion, like 99% of moves that the Ravens could make at the quarterback position, 99% of the moves that they made if it was anybody other than Lamar Jackson, I think it would be a downgrade. It would definitely be a downgrade. Not to say that another quarterback can't come in and do his thing. And not to take away from anybody else, whether rookie or vet, whoever, but it just, I just feel like there will be a lack there. It wouldn't be the same. But as far as the Ravens, they gotta do what's best for the Ravens. It's business. Just like with Lamar Jackson right now, he's gotta do what's best for him. It's business. Both sides, they trying to do what's best for themselves. And a lot of us hope that in the process, they can come together and they can cut to a resolution with each other that includes still being with each other, but we know things happen. So Ravens are just preparing just in case, just in case, just in case that employee that we talked about earlier, they decide, you know what, I'm gonna go work for another company. I don't wanna work for this company anymore. I don't wanna be here. I don't. So Ravens, this is just them staying ready so they ain't gotta get ready. And I'm sure there will be more quarterbacks that they talk to. And I'm sure they probably talk to other ones already. They probably looked at other ones already as options. My, again, minus Baker Mayfield. Take out Anthony Richards. I'm sure there are other guys that they looked at too. It's not just those guys. Because again, you gotta have a plan. And Eric Bacosta said this before too. He said this at the two presses ago, where he said, we got like five, six different contingency plans. And I'm sure he does. They have to. Now I hope the plan that ends up happening is one where Lamar is the Baltimore Ravens quarterback. But right now I don't think it's looking like it. Doesn't look good to me. But again, that's just my opinion. I don't know nothing from nothing. So we'll see how it goes. But as far as them speaking with Anthony Richardson and really any other prospects that they speak to. In my opinion, I just don't think it's a big deal. And I think it's just business. Do diligence, stay ready. So you ain't got to get ready. Even though if you have kept Lamar, you could be even more ready. But at the same time, who knows what's going to happen? Steam keep it clean. I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. And like, I think it's still looking like Lamar Jackson could end up being this off season when it comes to being with the Baltimore Ravens. I'm out. This feels like a dream. That's what I made. You too, team, keep it clean. You see my boy, he like, I done made it. Well, that's my homie. Ain't that right engraving? Right engraving. Shout out to engraving.


Hi, this is Samin Parthian. We are here at Open Source Summit in Vancouver. Today we have with us again the tariff from Comcast. So tell us about Open Source at Comcast. What's new going on there? So since the last time I talked to you, we've got a really good team of four people now focusing on community compliance and compliance engineering. We are not just consumers of Open Source that we've actually contributed a great deal to Open Source. So there are a couple of different types of contributions we make as a company. One is clearly when we consume a product, we fix it and we contribute it back and we also enhance it and we make those types of contributions. So we've made roughly about 150 contributions this year. And then the second thing we've been doing Swap is to also create original works, you know, things that we created inside the company to solve our problems and then to contribute those back into Open Source. So contribution can come in the form of code, in the form of financial support to projects and you know just all of us being here in Open Source and evangelizing Open Source really helps share good practices with everybody. So the project that you talked about two projects, is it like Comcast, you know, you're maintaining it or you have kind of given it to some neutral foundation? These are the two projects that we are actually maintaining for now and we are inviting contributors from all parts of the world to contribute to it. We're seeing a great deal of diversity and contribution on Tickster and Vinyl DNS we just open sourced so it's taking off. But you bring up a good point, we do have traffic control which is our CDN project which is hosted at the Apache Foundation and we're very grateful. And the other good news is the Apache Traffic Control which used to be an incubation the last time I saw you has now graduated to a top tier project at the Apache Foundation. So we will be celebrating that as well at ApacheCon. And then we've also been known to create, you know, separate foundations like the RDK project which sits in its own foundation outside of Comcast and that is a collaborative effort across the cable providers, cable industry, OEMs, SOC providers like Intel Broadcom, they're all involved in creating that project. And you are also on Linux Foundation board? I'm a director at large which means that I represent community and not company. And one of the big lenses that I like to bring to the board is diversity and inclusion. And so I've been focusing on working and partnering with Angela Brown and the Linux Foundation on improving how we include people in events, in training, in projects because I think we have a great opportunity as a foundation to set some guidelines for the 150 plus projects that are at the foundation itself but also to create best practices for the community to follow. You're also very much in the world with diversity. Can you talk about your efforts now that you're making and why? Why do you care about diversity? Why not? The whole world is getting digitized and if we are recreating this world then we need to create it with people of all types. Otherwise we'll have a very monotone world. We'll have a black and white world created by a few people with their biases that are embedded into that world and we cannot afford to do that. That's one big reason. From an economic perspective, teams that are diverse are more innovative, more impactful, create better business results, create more productive teams and who wouldn't want that? Which business wouldn't want that?

This is so good I've been putting this in my coffee in the morning. It's to die for it's sweet. It's chocolatey It's just the right amount of peppermint and it is two smart points per tablespoon Which is not bad pretty normal for traditional non sugar-free creamers I picked this up at my local yoke store But I've seen this at big chain stores as well like Walmart, Winco, Fred Meyer, Kroger So definitely check this out. It's a great holiday seasonal flavor for coffee Next up is the almond nog from Trader Joe's Now I love eggnog. I don't love the calories the points and the fat in regular eggnog This almond nog is delicious Now it's not as sweet as traditional eggnog But it definitely has the eggnog flavor. It's really good I don't taste almond milk and it's only 50 calories for half of a cup Now traditional eggnog is 190 calories for half of a cup So about a third less than a third and it's really really delicious I like to drink it by itself with a little bit of nutmeg on top Or sometimes I pop it into my coffee for an iced or hot eggnog latte Super delicious. I'll pick this up at Trader Joe's before it's gone Oikos triple zero salted caramel yogurt Now this is something that I just recently discovered I do like Oikos. I just don't buy it very often I don't know why I don't have a reason But I did pick up these salted caramel ones and they are delicious It's a perfect seasonal flavor salted caramel I add a little bit of granola to it. It's really really delicious And I also like yogurt that is Greek style because it packs a lot of protein And you know I am here for the protein So I highly recommend the salted caramel Oikos triple zero In the freezer section I picked up these crazy Richard's Holy Rollies So these are little protein balls This one is peanut butter and jelly These are really good They're great if you just need a little something Maybe before a workout or after a workout Or if you're just feeling kind of snacky But you want something good for you That has a little bit of protein Not a lot of points and calories These are really really good Now I know that they had other flavors I have not tried any of the other flavors But this one is really delicious Crazy Richards also makes a phenomenal peanut butter If you can find that in your local area These are really good And I don't eat them a lot But like I said when I'm wanting a little snack Or a little something I'll pick I'll grab one of these Pop it in my mouth And it gives me just that little bit of protein Next up is the brand new white chocolate cookies and cream built bar Now these were just released for Black Friday So many of you have been asking for a white chocolate covered bar Your wish has been granted And these are really good I mean really really good The white chocolate is perfection So if you're not a dark chocolate Or a milk chocolate person Definitely pick these up I don't know how long they'll be around I don't know if they're going to be permanent On the built bar website Heck I don't even know if they're still on there When this video goes up But if so definitely pick these up They're really really delicious Built bar hit it out of the park with these bars I am going to link 10% off And free shipping down below In the description box for you That is a permanent code You can use it over and over again with no cap So write it down Save it Screenshot it That way you have it available Whenever you need your built bar fix We all know how good good things are But I found these gluten free cheddar Good things at Target These are delicious I like them by themselves Dipped in my favorite dip Which you guys know Is the La Terefina Spongebob Artichoke And Parm Dip It's so good And it's super super low point in calorie I actually featured it in last month's favorites video I buy mine at Costco You can also pick it up at Kroger I've even seen it at Walmart But these crackers are so good They're the perfect crispiness With a little bit of cheddar And you can have a lot of crackers For your smart points and calories Another bar for you This is the Senno Nutritional Bar Now this is a startup small business They reached out and asked if they could Send me their bars to try I hopped on their website and the ingredients Perfection So I said absolutely send them my way I have been loving these bars Now they are a little bit higher in points Because they have dates as part of the ingredients They aren't bad in calories 190 calories They pack a little bit of protein Not a huge protein punch But a little bit And these are very reminiscent In my opinion of the Lara Bar But better The texture is better The flavor is better The Lara Bars can be a bit dry This is just chewy and moist and delicious These are really really delicious I will link these down below for you guys Definitely check them out If you are here to support small businesses During the pandemic This is a great one to support They are the nicest people And they have an extremely high quality product In this bar And it is really good Really really good This is a somewhat new find for me I actually found this at Natural Grocers Which is like our sprouts or whole foods But then I found it at Costco In three pack form For way less expensive So at Costco You can pick this Reo's Italian wedding style soup up For seven dollars A little over seven dollars for three jars I paid almost five dollars for one jar At my Natural Grocers This soup is so good I mean so good It is a one cup serving For the points here on the screen Or you can have the entire jar If you wish for only two hundred and ninety calories Which is not bad Pop in a little bit of oyster crackers Or saltines And you have a really good lunch or dinner This soup is great It's clean clean ingredients And like I said One of the best Italian wedding soups That I've ever tried And lastly for favorites For food are the new smart sweets Red twist So these are smart sweets spin on licorice They are very very very much like a twizzler They are not a red vine So they don't have that red vine flavor They're more along the lines of a twizzler They're soft They're chewy They're really delicious Three smart points per bag The bag is packed with the red twist They're really really truly delicious Smart sweets Never ceases to amaze me When they bring out new products They're all really good So I will link these down below With 10% off for you guys as well You can pick up all the other kinds Of smart sweets as well The peach rings The sweet fish The gummy bears The watermelon Those are so good All of those are on the smart sweets website So check it out So now I want to share with you My beauty favorites And I have a lot I've actually picked up Quite a few new beauty products Over the last month And I have found quite a few favorites So let's jump into November's beauty favorites First we're going to start with the facial cleanser This is from the Mix Easy brand I did favorite their customizable Shampoo and conditioner In a previous favorites video This is also from the Duvall company The same one that I use Their flat iron and their curling wand They're just a great company And they also have a line of beauty products So this is the daily sucrose cleanser So this is a pump style of facial cleanser It's awesome It sets up perfectly It takes all your makeup off A little bit goes a long way And it's super super affordable So with Duvall Or with the Mix Easy brand I actually have 70% off for you guys 7-0 So I'll make sure I link that down below Check out their website Another great small business to support And another great cleansing product Dry shampoo Who doesn't need a little dry shampoo in their life? I picked this one up at Target And I have really been liking it This is the Not Your Mother's Beach Babe Textureizing Dry Shampoo What I like about this Is it works really well In the form of a dry shampoo But it also adds texture and volume to your hair So when you spray this on your roots And you kind of push up your roots It actually adds some volume and texture Which I really like So it's a texture spray And a dry shampoo in one It's super super affordable I picked this up at Target Definitely would repurchase this It's 2020 Who doesn't need a little bit of self care? So I decided to try out the sheet masks Off of Amazon And I got an entire bag Full of sheet masks for $10 And they are awesome There are so many different kinds There's revitalizing, energizing, nourishing Moisturizing There's a ton of different masks These are your traditional paper sheet masks And they're awesome They have just the right amount of fluid They work really really well And you can't beat the price $9.99 So depending on my mood Or how I feel that my skin is doing I'll choose my sheet mask accordingly But I have tried several And I love every single one of them I just have a hard time paying Three, four, five, six dollars For one sheet mask At the store So I'm always on the hunt For a good quality, affordable one In this pack from Amazon From GlammUp Definitely did not disappoint You know I love Beauty Counter Not only because their skin care And makeup is exceptional It's clean, it's healthy It's under stringent guidelines For clean beauty I'm all for clean everything So I've been using Beauty Counter for a while I love their skin care But I've just recently gotten a little more Into their cosmetics Now I've shown you this exact product Before in the pink highlighter one I actually have that on today But I decided to pick this one up as well This is the illuminating highlighter in bronze So this is more of a brown color I've been using this for contouring So my skin is fairly dark And it still shows up on me So if you're light skin You'd probably even have better results with this But this works as a great contour I will put this up here on my forehead Around my jawline and down my nose And blend it in with my beauty blender And it gives that nice contouring With a little bit of glow Since it is kind of a highlighter Not as much glow as a highlighter But just a little bit of glow I'm loving this I will definitely, definitely be repurchasing this Right now Beauty Counter is having a big huge sale So I'll link them down below for you Pick up the pink Pick up the bronze There's also a white or a cream colored More highlighter I have not tried that yet But it's next on my list Another mask Another bit of self-care This is from Rooted Beauty This is a clean beauty line sold on Grove Collaborative Now you know I've been a member of Grove Collaborative For a couple of years It's an online service Where you can order cleaning supplies Personal supplies Household, pet, you name it They have just about everything You pay $19.95 a year for your membership They are reduced price of 10 to 30% Less than your grocery store There's thousands of items on there And it ships to your doorstep And hashtag COVID It's nice to have things delivered to your doorstep I have loved everything that I picked up ever From Grove Collaborative That includes this Rooted Beauty face mask Now I actually got this for free For my birthday Which was really nice that they gave me this free product This is a green tea face mask So you spread it on your face You leave it on for 10 to 20 minutes You rinse it off Boy, does it revitalize your skin It plumps it up It adds moisture This is awesome And it's super, super affordable And that's one thing I love about Grove Is that everything's affordable And they throw in freebies here and there If you meet a minimum order amount They'll give you free products with every single order It's just, again, another great company to support I will link it down below With a free Mrs. Meyers gift set Up to a $35 value for you when you join Grove But once you join Grab some Rooted Beauty products Including this green tea mask Last month I featured Lush Because when I was in San Diego I actually went to a Lush store And then when I got home Come to find out we had a Lush And I say had Because unfortunately it closed But we had a Lush store in my town I had no idea I've just been ordering online And I'm loving all of the products Including this Daddy-O So if you are someone that has blonde hair Or blonde highlights like myself This shampoo is incredible Now I picked up the really small one Because I didn't know if I would like it I love, love, love it It is a purple shampoo It helps take the brassiness out of blonde hair And it cleans your hair I mean you wash your hair And you can feel the difference It is stripped of all product Then you pop in your favorite conditioner I love the Lush Revive I'll put that right here And I'll make sure I link that down below That was in my favorites last month I will use this to wash Condition my hair and then pop in some revive And my hair has never been shinier Healthier and I have never been happier So I'm loving, loving the shampoo Again, if you're blonde or blonde highlights This shampoo is the best purple shampoo I've ever used I'm also a big fan of facial oils I just like the way that they feel on my skin Sometimes once I shower in the evening I'll throw some face oil on Before I actually do my nighttime routine Because I generally shower two to three hours Before I go to bed And then once I brush my teeth Is when I actually do my night routine And I pick this up at Target And it's affordable and it's awesome This is the CocoKind Chia Facial Oil With Omega 3 concentrate for a youthful glow This oil is awesome The only thing I don't like about it is the smell And it's not terrible It's just not my favorite smell It smells a little bit earthy, nutty I don't hate it But I wish that it had a little bit more fresh smell But it works really, really well And like I said, it's extremely, extremely affordable I've used a few of the CocoKind products And I've loved every single one of them And you can get this at Target I will link it down below Because I tend to find that My Target is out of a lot of the CocoKind products So they must kind of be all the rage So I'll link it down below So you can have it delivered to your doorstep Highly recommend Lastly is not a beauty product But a hair product or a fitness product This is from the company called Bands with AZ Now I actually got this in my Miss Muscle Box this month And I have been loving it You can actually go onto their website And order these hair bands They're nice and thick They have kind of that knot on the back So it stays in your hair when you work out Nothing is more annoying when you're working out Than your headband kind of sliding back or forward I love these They wake up sweat They're cute, they're stylish They come in a ton of patterns And again, another fantastic small business to support So I am loving these bands I'm actually, when I'm done with this video Going to hop online and order a couple more And last but certainly not least Are my home favorites First are these These are from the Magnolia Hearth and Home line These are salad tongs I picked these up at Target for $9.99 I love them I love the unfinished clay ends They're nice, solid, heavy salad turners These work really well We had friends over for a pizza night And we use these to not only mix the salad But serve the salad These are awesome I don't care for the plastic ones I wanted something a little bit nicer But I didn't want to spend a fortune And these are $10 For the set at Target So if you are looking for some good salad turners Way to serve salad Because let's be honest We probably eat a lot of salad These are awesome Next is the soap dispenser If you remember me complaining I had a lot of my what I eat in a day That I could not find a fall soap dispenser I don't know what it is There's Christmas There's all the other holidays But can a girl find a fall one? Absolutely not So I did a little bit of research And I actually found this one on Amazon I did not want to pay $30 For a fall soap dispenser And this was the most affordable one That I could find And I actually love it It's great quality It works really well And it has this really pretty fall tree design on it So I've used this for fall As well as all of the month of November For Thanksgiving And I've gotten a ton of compliments As people have come and gone through the holidays On my soap dispenser So this is really cute It's affordable And it's on Amazon So it can come right to your doorstep And last but not least Is this grill pan I hauled this in my massive grocery haul Just a couple of weeks ago from Costco This thing is a game changer One end is rippled to grill chicken on So I don't know about you But my husband is not game For firing up the grill in the middle of winter When there's snow on the ground In fact, this year he actually Put the grill in storage So that's not even an option But I wanted a way to grill my chicken Because I think chicken tastes better grilled Who's with me? So this pan works great You just set this on your stove Over your burners And grill up your chicken But wait, there's more I literally sounded like an infomercial On the other side it's flat So this is the side you can cook Eggs, bacon, pancakes You can use this as a griddle So it's dual sided, dual purpose It was super affordable at Costco Right now it's on coupon If I can find it on Costco.com I'll link it down below for you But it was less than $17 $18 something like that And I've used it so much I love it So those are my November favorites I hope you enjoyed all of my food finds Beauty and a little bit of home I am loving all of these products I don't know how I come up with so much every month But I seem to get my hands on Some really great products throughout the month A lot of these came from small businesses And I don't know about you But right now my state is in a shutdown And I am all for supporting small business I certainly don't want any more Small businesses to close in my area Or in any area for that matter So a lot of these products came from small businesses So definitely support them Pick your gifts up this year From small business versus your big retail stores So I'll link everything again down below for you guys Along with all of my other favorite things The link to head over and join me on Facebook My nutrition coaching website If you enjoyed today's favorites video Please give it a big thumbs up It really helps out my channel And again lets me know that you like these videos And last but not least Help me hit my 30,000 and subscribe And make sure you ring the bell next to it So that you don't miss a notification for a single video Happy December Wow, December my friends And I'll see you all in my next video Bye


I'm here with Vision State as we're planning our 2023, what stocks to watch and we've got a tech stock that's very interesting, that's going to be seeing in the green, John, by middle of the year? Yeah, I think that's a very accurate based on our current growth, our plans for the future and the changes that we've made on our rate structure and our strategy with regard to attracting theaters for 2023, where we want to replicate our success that we've had in huge and start taking on the world. And it's also my understanding that you have a new president in place, Shannon Moore, is that correct? That is correct, Shannon has been with the company for approximately a year, has done a fabulous job of dissecting our software, our competitive positioning and our relationship with our global partner. And now she's implementing the right changes to move forward where we're focused solely on growth and taking one to globally in a very aggressive manner. So we're very, very happy that Shannon is part of our team. Shannon, you were speaking in investor talk about how you did some comparative analysis and you basically multiplied what you're selling, Wanda, by three times. Is that correct? Yes, we're close to three times bigger than we were. We really had the market share plan up until this point being brought on right now. The timing is perfect for the combination of market share and competitive analysis. And even at our new prices, we are still extremely competitive with other companies out there that do nobody does exactly what we do, but there is lots of similarities and in little nuggets here and there. So we're spot on on price, very competitive and we have a long list of customers standing behind us that love us and it works just the way they say it works. I would like to reinforce that for investor and tell audience members, you got to take a look at this board of directors. John, how do you attract such world-class players to your board? Well, I think it all starts with transparency, Tracy, like we are a very transparent company. I've made it very clear right from the outset that my number one goal is to build a fabulous company, a fabulous innovative company. And it probably reflects in our stock price because our focus has been on the operations and developing a great company. But we've created an environment of innovation and people are attracted to that because they see nothing but opportunity, especially in a sector that has typically and historically been somewhat antiquated. But the potential is there. They see that we're innovative and we're focused on growing the company and I think that's an attractive thing in today's market. And I don't know if you want to add anything about this partnership you have with Bunzel.  How is that relationship going? It's a wonderful relationship. We have our needs and they have their needs and there is total synergy. There is transparency. They welcome me into all of their sales pitches if that's what needs be. And I think that it's just building and every month it's getting bigger and bigger. And there's more people on the Bunzel side that are buying this product and going, well, this product is actually super great for this customer and the other customer. And I got to take it to so many new people. And I'm right there behind them supporting them. And we've built something really great that I'm very excited to duplicate in other territories. Yeah, I think Shannon touches on a very important item here because here we have this global partner Tracy. And I don't think that up until even six months ago, but certainly recently with Shannon coming on board, that we fully empower their sales reach. You know, Bunzel is around the world, very, very strong presence in Canada. But you're talking about salespeople that are used to selling commodities, not technology. So Shannon has made it so easy for them to sell. Suddenly we have access to hundreds, if not thousands of salespeople, which explains one of the reasons why our queue right now is over 100 companies long that we're trying to deal with. It's because we, in particular, Shannon has made it very easy for that sales network to sell. Which means we can be very, very lean here at Vision State. We have a tech team, Shannon and myself, frankly, that are executing on this because they're doing a heavy lifting on the sales part. But it's all good, have a global partner, but if they can't sell your product, you really got nothing. And I think that's a very important point that Shannon brings up. Okay. Thank you for joining us today on Investor Intel. That's Vision State. For more information, please go to their website.
