Good afternoon from TFNN. Welcome to the May 29th. The wonderful Wednesday edition of today's Trader's Edge show. I'm your host, Steve. Perseverance Rhodes. Who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope everyone out there is having a great day. How about we have an extraordinary one? Yep, an extraordinary day. And the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us. Not to us. That's right. When you and I make that one little two-by-four shift, it means we can find the gift in every set of circumstance that life is going to toss at us. Today, you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We're going to go figure out what the bulls and the bears, what the buyers and the sellers are communicating to you and I just passed one o'clock in the afternoon. I want you to know that I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here, but more importantly, during this next hour, I'm here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone. That's right. You can dial in<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you can't dial in, we've got you covered. Let those fingers do the walking. Yes, you can send me an email, Steve at tfnn.com inside the subject heading. Please put radio show question, of course, and the Tigers, then like Peter, any ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on a wonderful Wednesday. Of course, this is Tiger Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to less show right now. The Dow off 308 points. It's down one and a quarter percent. S&P off a little under 1% at 25 points. She's printing out at 2776. NASDAQ 100 off 72 points or 1%. All the indices in the red. Well, the exception being spot volatility index that's up 4% or 72 pennies. And the semiconductor index up about five bucks. So basically flat, but really four tenths of a percent to the upside. Gold's up three bucks. Silver down 23 cents. Lights recruit off 78 pennies. Lead the charge. The upside Heiko Corp up 10%, 10 bucks. Beyond meetup, six bucks. Salai ton ink. Yeah. S-O-L-Y ticker symbol. Five bucks 35%. Oh, that's a move. To the downside, auto zone off 25. Google down 24. Mercado Libre 23. Amazon 21. So plenty to look at. But Peter wants to look at the ESPini and gold. So if we look at the ESPini, Peter, let's just start with this chart here. Here's what we know. Here we go. So we know Peter that right now at this point in time, price is trading below a prior swing point. That prior swing point being back here on the trading day of May the 14th out there. Let's not use the volumes that I've got in this contract here. But instead when you trade below a swing point, volume or not, what it does is it sets up that possibility for an A to B equal CD to the downside. We say confirmed if it does with volume, we won't have the volume to the end of the day really to make that decision. If we look at the spies right now, it's kind of 50-50 whether or not it'll have the volume. But Peter, right now what we know is that there is a one to one A to B equal CD to the downside unless the ESPini gets back on 2799.75, one to one level, 2732. Let's pull this chart back a little further here on the left to actually get everything on the screen. There we go. And if we just take a look at a retracement, Peter, the retracement I'm referring to is the one back from the low on the 26 up to the high out here on May Day, May the first for the ESPini, you can see that price has not even made it down to the 0.382 retracement, which would be 2716. Now, it doesn't mean that price won't get down there, but if it does, what it generates or what it could generate is a Gartley by pattern. So that's something that you'll want to be on the lookout. Of course, what you're looking out for is some type of bullish reversal candle as price gets down towards that area. We're not down towards that area. So what's this mean? Well, a couple of things. One, as Peter knows, I want you to know, here we take a look at the ESPini, you're going to see that you are below the daily profile as well at 2813, it's below the weekly. Also, so at this stage here, there's no support that Stevie can go find for you. That doesn't mean that support doesn't form. At 111 the afternoon, I don't have it. If we look at the horizontal trading ranges inside the ESPini, what we're going to see is price is now down below 2810. 2810 is the monthly horizontal trading range. That's the red line that is out there. If price doesn't get back above that, then the price target for your horizontal trading range are down around 2728. Between 2715 and 2728, really large conglomeration, meaning daily, weekly, and monthly happen to line up at that price area. So Peter, I would say that over the next coming days, unless we see some type of reversal out here, that's where price appears to be headed, 2728. Not that far away from 2732, the 1 to 1A to B equals CD pattern out there. So that's what I would be looking at inside the ESPini. On a 30-minute chart out here, Peter, we can see a little bit of a countertrend rally. What we don't have is any kind of bottom pattern down there. Bottom pattern being a TD setup account, a Chapman wave count, price moving lower doing less relative energy. We don't have any profiles. We know that the last time that we saw the little countertrend rally, what looked like a bottom was right here at about 1030. And what price did Peter, is it found resistance at the top of that profile? That's 2792. I would watch 2792 if price gets above that. Then you're looking at a run up to about 2806. But the 30-minute chart, really no signals there of any type of bottom. Is there any time frame? Any time frame at all that shows some type of bottom in the ESPini. And the answer, Peter, is no. I don't have that. So I don't have anything else to go on for the ESPini. However, what you didn't ask about was the NQ. And in the NQ, well, there are some bottoming signals out here. So maybe, Peter, what's best for you and I and everybody else out there to try to identify what the market is going to do is pay attention to the NQ. Now, if we come back out here and we just take a look at, in essence, a blank chart, we're going to see the NQ is below a B point. That is the trading day of May 14th out there. The low of that session is 7290. Now, Peter, right now, and there's an A to B equal CD to the downside that we can draw on here. We should do that for you, for everybody else. Here's what the pattern looks like, which gives us a one-to-one price project in 7058. That'd be your one-to-one, 1.272.6900. So that's a downside target. But as price is moving lower, here's the NQ, here's the daily timeframe. What we can see is it's doing so with less relative energy out there. So that says you always should be on guard. What do you mean you should always be on guard? Now, that's the NQ. When we get back from this breakout here, why don't we go take a look at the NASDAQ itself? Just a daily chart brought in the last 10 years, 15 years. See the pattern that's in play right now, our potential pattern. See if it means that we should be paying attention to it.

Welcome back, folks. So we're going to take a look at the NASDAQ composite. We're taking a look at the NQ. By the way, in the NQ, I think I gave it out, but I gave out the A to B Equal CD price projection, $70.58, $6,900. The $70.58 was the 1 to 1 A to B Equal CD to the downside retracement-wise as well from the lows out here back in December to the high. Looks like back on May 3rd, not even down to the .382 level, but just like the ESMini, at about that .382 level, which is $70.98, you've got the potential completion of the 1 to 1 A to B Equal CD or a Gartley buy pattern. We're not there yet. We can't get there until the market gives us some type of bullish reversal candle. There's no guarantee that will happen, but there's a secondary pattern that's also in play, price moving lower due to less relative energy. And here we take a look at the NQ. What I just want you to do, I don't have a way to turn off my tool set, so it just shows the bottoming technique, but you can see that in the NASDAQ composite, we've got that same pattern that's in play. No bullish reversal candle, but if we start going back to the left, let me just drag this here. We'll stop at the next one that we see. This was not one of those patterns that was out there when the bottom was forming. I teach clients this pattern so they know exactly what to look for and when to take action. And so if you'd like to learn about this pattern, just to become a mastering probability subscriber, it's on your member's page. Now back here, back here at the bottoms, back in the February of 2016, you had that Rhodes Momentum Indicator pattern form identified that bottom. We also had it back here in September of 2015 when that pattern formed. Again, we're just looking at the ones that call the bottoms out here. Will it call every single bottom? No. What we're looking for is when the pattern forms, do we pay attention to it? That's really all that I'm trying to share and show you. Back in June of 2012, but identified the bottom out here. We come back further back in October of 2011. It called the bottom. If we take a look at the pattern back in July of 2010, it identified the bottom. Now look, every single one of these does not work, but the majority of them do, especially when you apply some additional tools. I don't have all the tools on the screen right now, just so I don't cloud things up. But if you take a look back in November of 2008, that identified a bottom. A bottom enough for you to understand what the market was doing doesn't mean the market didn't go lower. In March of 2009, but you ought to be able to anticipate what the market is doing. Same thing back here in July of 2008 out here. Again, we keep going back and back and back here. Now I'm all the way back into what, 1992. In 1992, this pattern working called the bottom. You're kind of getting the message out here. I don't want to bore you. So the question is, and Peter, you've got that pattern that's present right now. You specifically, I believe, know the five rules that are involved with identifying tops and bottoms. Right now we're just taking a look at bottoms. So you'll be able to use this pattern. I think it's really incumbent upon you and I to be paying attention to the NQ, the NASDAQ 100, the NASDAQ composite out here. In anticipation or not being surprised if we see those signals that at bottom will have formed out here. So that should take care of, hopefully takes care of your ES part or the equity part of the message. You're asking about gold. With regard to gold for me, it boils down to one simple thing out here. One simple thing and that simple thing, let me get that chart up for you. We have rolled over to the August contract. So now what I'm going to be showing you is the August contract, August contract, by the way, trade out it, 1286. 1286. Here's the daily timeframe chart. Believe it or not, that was not the chart I wanted to show you. Let's grab the correct chart, the weekly timeframe chart. Now what you'll want to pay attention to, what everybody will want to pay attention to come Friday, the close on Friday. The question is, I didn't mean to scream in your ear, but the question is, will gold close above Stevie's green line? That number is 1291. You're trading at 1286, only five bucks. A really important $5. Peter, not until gold closes over that level, does it really have my attention? I'm not saying that we haven't formed some type of bottom. We got the TD set up, nine count. That bottom formed on the bar following nine. That's the low so far. If it is a bottom, price is going to close over. It has to close over Stevie's green line, that oscillator unchanged line. If it doesn't, it's resistance, which is what it has been for quite a while.  To me, it's as simple as that, and it's one number, and it will be on Friday, that we want to pay attention to that. Hope that helps you out. With regard to the New York Stock Exchange, I wanted to take a look at that. What do we know about the New York Stock Exchange? New York Stock Exchange has made a lower low. Lower low referring back to the swing point from May 13th out here. But if you take a look at the advanced decline, Oslo Arena May 13th versus where it is today, we have a higher low. I don't know what happened to my red line out there, but here's the red line, or as it says, red line, red line. Now you got two divergences inside the New York Stock Exchange. Because if this is important to us or not, what are the divergent patterns? What are the two divergent patterns? The first one is the advanced decline oscillator. Between the 1939 day, expansion will be an average of the advanced decline data. You've got a higher low. As we speak right now, 124. The daily chart. I don't know what the end of the day reading is on this, but if this was the end of the day, we'd say, well, we have a lower high in the spot volatility index. So now you've got two divergences, two divergences. Now these divergences can go away. The advanced decline oscillator can get moving to the downside. Take out that low. The VIX index can take out the high from that May 13th or May 14th. It looks like May 13th on a closing level. And then those divergences go away. But right now they're here, folks. Right now they're here. And each time they have arrived, each time they confirm, not confirmed yet, they've led to a good rally or a good bottom out here. And you can see those different signals on this chart. And so what Peter, what this says to me at 125 is, hey, come back to it at four o'clock. See what the end of the day reading is out there. And even if the end of the day reading shows this, what the market needs, what the New York Stock Exchange needs is something more than that. Now, speaking of the New York Stock Exchange, interestingly enough, well, I'm not sure if it's interestingly enough. If we go back to the NASDAQ, I'm kind of curious out here. I don't know. With inside the NASDAQ, how's the New York Stock Exchange Top 100 companies doing? I don't know that was a question for somebody. I don't know the answer. Let's go find out. Nothing there. So nothing there on the Top 100. I was looking for that similar pattern. I was looking for the Top 100 international companies out there. Well, now that's kind of interesting because we'd say international companies are a little bit weaker than the U.S. company, but we can see that that pattern is in play here as we speak right now. So Peter, that's the New York Stock Exchange. Those are the patterns to be watching there. Got the ES mini, got the NQ. I think it's more about the NQ than it is about the ES mini to provide you and I with signal information. So let's keep our eye on that. Steve Roach with TF and NQ. Be right.

First question coming in from Max. Max M writes in and says his question is word of like this for 401k is this a short term correction or a market top in my opinion. So Max the easiest way for me to answer that question is to provide you with the following pieces of information out here. Just because I you know I don't know if you've given me enough information but let me explain to you from a chart pattern standpoint what I think is going on here. And Max where we first begin with is the seasonal cycle that the market is in. If you're watching us on Tiger TV you're looking at the annual seasonal cycle for the Dow over the course of the last 86 years what you'll notice typically in mid-May to be specific May 19 but we don't worry so much about the actual date but typically in mid-May is when we see the first sell-off and what you can see here that first leg usually last into towards the end of May towards the end of May well today's May 29th out here not exactly but you can see you've got that first leg down and then you get a bounce you typically get a bounce up into the early part of June. So let's talk about our dates let's just worry about the patterns that are in play out here. So Max I'm assuming that you were watching that first segment out here so we know that this is the pattern around this time of the year the sell in May and go away now by the way we are the sell in May and go away which hasn't always worked it's working now and how do we know that well we know that because April Lowe's out here if you go back and take a look at all the other May time periods take a look at last year you'll see this in either a rectangle or a square out here the bottom of those rectangles or square are showing you where the April Lowe's are this is the first time in a while where we are below those Lowe's so that unfavorable seasonal cycle is where we're at it's where we're at and you're going to see we're going to have highs and lows we're going to have Bible bottoms and sellable tops out here and we should really up and through the end of July with the final move down into the October type time frame assuming that the market follows this typical pattern well if we fast forward to where are we right now in the Dow itself remember that seasonal cycle identifies some type of bottom towards the end of May well price has been moving lower doing less relative energy out here so it suggests to you and I it's not a guarantee yet but if this pattern holds if we see some type of bullish reversal signal you're asking about your 401k you should anticipate a really good bounce could even get all the way back to the all-time highs could even take out the all-time highs out there we got to take things one step at a time one moment at a time so everything lines up here everything lines up with this pattern everything lines up with the seasonal it ends up with the fact that we should see lower prices well specifically in the Dow what we're talking about here's the four indices on a monthly basis Dow Nasdaq S&P and the Russell 2000 it's really the Dow that's the easiest to make out the pattern behavior pattern behavior max is a consolidation you can see how the top of that consolidation has been tested on a monthly basis one two three four times been tested four times hasn't been able to be taken out during this unfavorable seasonal cycle between now and October we could easily see the bottom of that consolidation somewhere around 23 360 give or take for price to pull all the way back there that would not be unusual use that information to try to answer your question with regard to as a short term or not I believe that the cycle of the consolidation that we're in is going to continue for a while they're hard to trade easy to trade if you just sell the top and buy the bottom and have your stops above and below you know some valid a level out there but the markets are in a consolidation so let me summarize it like this right now as of today at 1.30 in the afternoon we have a pattern associated with a bottom has not confirmed if it does it's going to follow along in essence with the analog of the way that the seasonal cycle typically unfolds and if we do get that bottom you can easily go back to the all-time highs or some type of retracement thereof and then we should see another move to the downside out here and we'll probably see even another move to the upside and perhaps one final move to the downside maybe it hits the bottom of consolidation maybe it doesn't because of some other pattern that's out there but that's what I see when we take a look at what's going on inside the market as we speak right now so hope that helps you out and answers your question and if not just simply write back and we'll try to answer the unanswered question out there let's write in and go to the next question is coming in from Earl Earl says hey Steve I sold TQQQ on May 3rd after hours and you did a buy today at you did a buy today are you saying that price is a good entry price well you're asking me do I think that the queues have bottom right because if you bought TQQQ TQQQ is the long portion of that so let me go back to the charts I did not say that here's what I said I said of the indices we were taking look at the ES mini Peter was specifically asking about that and what I said was I don't show any type of real bottom signals on any intraday charts for the ES mini that's a little different inside the NQ inside the NQ now I'm not saying that it wasn't a good entry price I'm saying you've got to watch you've got to be careful the 30 minute chart we didn't get to that I don't believe we did unlike the ES mini didn't have a bottoming signal here in the NQ it does price moving lower doing less relative energy you get the bullish reversal signal that happens if we get my crosshair out here that happens right here at 12 30 no follow through the next session but we do at 130 going into 130 that candle we're into a new session here's what you need to see your own my opinion there's two things the first is the top of the daily box at 72 42 you need to see a close above that but the NQ had already done that it did that earlier did that at about 10 30 this morning but then price gave it up price gave it up moved to lower lows out here so now you need to see price get above that level that level is 72 62 and a quarter out there if you see that things are starting to look up for you with regard to this 30 minute bottom then your next level that you're going to be watching this is perhaps the most critical level inside that trade that you're looking at you're using an ETF and that ETF you need to see the NQ itself not the ETF that signal would come with a close above 72 96 72 96 is the number that you're looking for it could be that that's where the NQ runs out of gas it's a 30 minute chart how are you going to trade this because the NQ you could trade it overnight and have your stop in place the TQQQ I don't think so so your question was was I saying that you had a good entry right now the answer is yes you've got to watch these other levels of resistance see how price handles that but on a 30 minute basis yeah sure 60 minute basis no bottoming signal there for us to deal with how about the two hour train two hour chart does show one of Stevie's roads momentum indicator signals and right now if it closes at two o'clock you do have a bull sash candle we'll be right back if you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment the Tiger First mortgage

back let's go to our next question that's coming in from Hector Hector Wraith-In it says hey Stevo NBEV that is a new age brand it says hey Stevo NBEV that is a new age brand it says hey Stevo it says hey Stevo it says hey Stevo it says hey Stevo NBEV that is a new age beverage corp candlesticks are looking like a solid bottom what's my take and happy wacky Wednesday well same to you Hector so here's what we know about NBEV let's just do this Hector let's take a look at it the way we would take a look at any other you know equity or anything quite frankly and that is here we get to look at NBEV and look at the daily and the monthly time frames we get to understand is price trading above resistance below support or with inside support and resistance the daily basis what we can see is prices trading has been trading for quite a while below the bottom of its box it had one day where it traded above that level which was by the way is 551 and then back below it so from a daily perspective and I don't know if those are the candlesticks you're looking at if it's daily weekly monthly but from a day the candlesticks aren't really telling us a ton out here at least not right now when I take a look at this other than price below resistance now on a weekly basis doesn't mean you have to sell solid bottom I think was what you referred to maybe there's a you know look here's what NBEV did most certainly is at least price came back to a breakout or right this thing broke out with wide price spread accelerated volume on April the 8th out there it's pulled back into this level with lightest volume looks like maybe there's accumulation going on out here the preference would have been for it to have closed the gap meaning price got down to 488 it didn't do that doesn't have to necessarily but is this an indication that we're going to see an acceleration to the upside you know not necessarily if you look at last week's candle session center chart out there you're going to see the price ran to support which was the bottom of its box that was 563 now the actual high last week 565 but nonetheless price closed below that in order for this to look like a solid bottom for me I would need to see a close on a weekly base above 563 if I pull over my other charts out here Hector I don't show I do show a sign of a bottom and that was that wide price spread accelerated breakout that rising window price moving lower doing with less relative energy excuse me sorry about that price is trading above Stevie's red line 530 you're at 534 so that's a slight positive out here I mean I see the bullish candles a couple bullish engulfing candles out here solid bottom I don't know I see resistance that needs to get taken out if you're in the trade I'm not saying get out of the trade instead I providing you with the information of the price points where you need to see a close above in order to say okay that was a good buy versus it's saying goodbye and going down and testing those lows out there so I hope that helps out with regard to some additional information to consider when trading ticker symbol N B E V let's go take a look at Sean Sean says he went bottom fishing for fire I F E Y E is the ticker symbol so let's go see if oh look at that that's a heck of a move today so now we need to see is there a bottom pattern when I say heck of move today you can see this this was a key reversal bullish engulfing as we speak key reversal price exceeded the high and low of yesterday's session it's coming in an extended condition we can just visually see that and you've got price we don't know if it's going to close but right now it looks like it'll close in the opposite direction so now the question is given that Sean is there any other bottom signal daily timeframe chart says yes there is there's your roads momentum indicator pattern so at this stage here I think you've done an excellent job bottom fishing your stop obviously on this trade here is going to be below today's low out here where is price targeting let's come back to fire I let's take a look at the next price target is the bottom of its daily profile 1508 you'd love to see a close in there then the next price becomes 1543 about 1543 1594 becomes the end number you're trading below the weekly that's 1588 so if you're going to get to 1588 you're going to get to the top of the daily profile nothing is there yet just know where those resistance areas reside and the monthly happens to have found support at the bottom of that monthly profile 1484 or close to it you're at 1477 as we speak right now so in summary Sean nice trade Stevie sees a bottom Stevie even sees a bottom on the weekly chart and that weekly chart shows that price came back to the breakout area the breakout area is that red solid line that breakout area was established by that Tom DeMarc set up nine count so price came back to support it's held on the weekly timeframe you certainly want to see a price about 1566 that would be another positive for you so yeah Stevie's got to say with regard to FireEye you've done a good job bottom fishing best of luck to you with FireEye F-E-Y-E is the ticker symbol so that takes care of all of the request out there thanks to everybody for sending those in I always love to get your request that way we're specifically looking at instruments that are important to you so now without any other questions that I see what is it that we should go look at Ruby wants to look at Berkshire Hathaway BRK.B let's go pull that up and see what we see Steve can you look at Berkshire Hathaway for possible fail today fail what do you mean what do you mean fail before you go away Ruby what do you mean fail what she means by fail and she'll be right back back back you asked about Berkshire and you're leaving well we're just going to have to continue below the daily not good below the weekly which is 200.30 that of course ends tomorrow close below that well close below that not good with inside the monthly profile say you can get down to 188.68 okay that's what those charts are saying right now let's go look at the daily time frame let's go take a look at the daily time frame look for signals out here so on a daily time frame we can see the prices come back has come back to its breakout area again the breakout area being defined as where that TD set up the low of the TD set up account took place because the prices pulled back right there it could be at support I don't know oh you're looking for the Brazilian real not Berkshire BRB what my apology but okay it's the Brazilian real alright so let me let me pull that up let me finish out Berkshire Hathaway let me just leave it like this folks prices pulled back to a breakout area no guarantee that it's going to hold we see some type of bullish reversal signal you should get about 203.05 so my apology Ruby we're going to pull up the Brazilian real we'll do that and take a look at that as we do the two minute wrap out here right now as we speak the Dow trading down 350 points S&P 18 we'll be right back since 1984 Basil Chapman has been using the Chapman wave methodology to advise traders of his expert

right here on tfnn. Welcome back folks so the chart we're looking at on the screen is the correct chart now which what ruby was asking about which is the Brazilian real US dollar cross bear and here's what we know right now ruby here's what I would be watching if I were you I don't know if you're short or you're looking to to buy this but what's on my screen right now are the daily profiles the reason I turned off the weekly is because I think the daily will release is going to be a little bit of a little bit of a variation to you and what I mean by that is if we go back just to the early February time frame we can see that price as come back in a couple of occasions to test the bottom of that profile for example on March the 20th it's a daily time frame it did it again back on April 1st in essence it pretty much did it on May 8th and now what I would say is if we go back to about the bottom to at least the bottom of that profile 3.948 if your question is is the break real is the break real in the Brazilian real I don't really think you and I will know that until we see what happens at about 3.94 what we could say is that if you see a close below that level it would indicate to you and I that there's a change in trend the weeklies back on because the weeklies would say hey where's the bottom of the weekly profile well the point of control is at 396 so the bottom of the daily 394 you'll be below that so a close below 3.9488 then what we would say is you've broken the daily trend and price should pull back to the weekly trend at 3.877 that's what I see when we take a look at the Brazilian we simply use our tool the TAS market profiles so that's where we're at folks thanks much for being here stay tuned for another great show I know David is on vacation I believe it's on vacation so they'll be replaying something wonderful then you've got Tom from 3 to 5 I'll be back with you on thirsty Thursday so have a great Wednesday thanks for being take care


Let me tell you a little bit about CK12 and I'll speak poorly for my wife, I wish she could be here, but let's start with our mission. It's very very clear I'll come back to that at the end because every child and CK12 is a non-profit open source content play that's trying to do a lot more. Let me tell you a little bit about it and I'll come back to our mission. It's used widely all over the world. There are a lot of components of global usage so I see the screen in front of me. It's hard to talk to everybody in a 360 stage. There's a lot of schools using it. I won't read the statistics for you but I will point to one statistic I'll come back to. There's 167 million questions answered on CK12 testing students 46 million of them for about 8,000 concepts. So what does CK12 have? Content it has data about the content metadata as it's called in data circles. It has the ability through a software system to standard the line and it's meant to be curriculum with any state or national standard so a software system takes the general body of content and assembles it into a state standard compliant system. It can do prerequisites and I won't spend too much time on it. It's a learning continuum and if I have time I'll come back and talk about this. But to think about CK12 think of the following. Imagine like the tube map of London except you're dealing with concepts that students have to learn. All of high school STEM education can be broken down into about 5,000 concepts maybe twice as many if you're really granular and so imagine math as the green line of things you have to cover and then there's sciences lines physics chemistry etc. If you hone in on one of these stations which is again a concept you might want to learn like radiative decay or photosynthesis you can then look around it and say how does it relate to math to physics other ideas. The whole point is if a student learns these concepts they have adequate knowledge to get through high school and all of the content at CK12 is organized in this way. CK12 content is multimodal which means the following. Every student learns differently and on CK12 it's not just a textbook page on a concept it could be a video it could be an interactive simulation it could be an adaptive practice modality any way a student wants to learn you can do. Here again are some of the concept the content assets that constitute what CK12 is. About 250,000 primary textbooks that are available open source and free to any student anywhere who wants to use it. Buried in those are structured 8,000 concepts along with their metadata. Those 8,000 concepts on average have five modalities and come back and talk a little more about what modalities mean. There's 215,000 questions about those concepts so you can test students on that and I won't go through every one of these but you get the idea. Now those 250,000 textbooks I talked about can be customized within a state standard so if I'm teaching for Indian standards or California state standards I can customize to that standard and then within that each teacher can customize to what they want to teach within the state standard so when you look at CK12 textbooks they've been customized 170,000 times by various teachers and other teachers then use these customized things. But the content goes beyond that. Not every student in a classroom is at the same level so some students are behind some in remedial and others are ahead of the rest of the class. The content is available both as basic at grade level and advanced so if you imagine each of these 8,000 concepts in five modalities on average in each you can actually teach students at different levels at the level at which they're at. Now to give you an example of what this content looks like you could have a textbook page and you've all seen that so I won't show you that but a simulation online may actually look something like this. You might be able to simulate and for some reason these are videos that aren't playing but you can simulate at the angle of an aircraft what the lift and drag is and what might cause it to stall and that makes it much more visual for students who are learning. Then there's the interactives. It means in many subject areas you can interact with the content. An example again I apologize because it's not simulating but in algebra you may have an equation and you might move x and see how y responds for that equation so you can do complex algebra through this kind of an interactive system. In addition to all that there's always a community aspect of learning and so if a student is stuck they can go to their community called the cafe and you can actually interact with other students. They could be your state students, students in your high school, other students who are studying the same subject. It's a powerful system and an all complete system to do all aspects of learning through K from K through 12. So why are students and teachers coming to this system? There's of course the core curriculum. There's all sorts of supplemental materials and a lot of students use it this way. By the way I think it's criminal that even in a state like California hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars are spent on textbooks that are paper based, not interactive and a real waste of money but unfortunately true and hopefully all of us can together change it. Each of these this content, all of this content is customizable, standards aligned, interactive and there's lesson plans for teachers. So the goal is to make it easier for both the student to let them learn in the way they want to learn but also to make it easier for the teacher with lesson plans. It's probably one of the few systems where a teacher could actually assign a different problem to each student based on where they're at and that kind of customization is not possible without the help of technology tools. Remind you again it's all open source and free. It also lets students do adaptive practice at home. The simulation is not running but that's okay. I'll skip past that. There's assignments and homeworks so that's the basic platform and it has lots of capabilities and our hope is other people will come to use the platform to build their own things on top. There's a couple of other things that become very important. Every student or every teacher might want to teach the content or the curriculum in a different way. So if you imagine a concept map and the student wants to take a particular path through it, they can. If you have a different student they can take a different path through it. By the way the content is on every platform so you might imagine it's available. Let me talk about one area we do need to help in next which is it's open source. It's available in mostly English, some Spanish translations but we'd love to have the community's help in translating it to other languages so it's available to kids in their native language. There's too many languages around the world for us to do but being open source is what makes it very amenable to the rest of the world helping customize that to their native language. Let me now talk about something that's very unpassionate about. The system has intelligence. All of the content can feed into models and algorithms, system intelligence that can extremely personalize it. Now I talked a little bit about adaptive content earlier but this is the next level of machine intelligence and it is what leads to personalized learning. So let me spend a minute on the intelligence system that CK12 is built. The details here don't matter but there's a fairly large system with a lot of usage data there and it's this usage data that's going to be very very important. Of course all the content interactions are there from all these students. The time to complete any given task is there for every student. Questions answered, questions missed, you get the point. So all this material is there and that leads me to my final point and maybe the most important thing that this community can do to help us. It is to build a personalized AI tutor for every kid on the planet. They can get the level of attention that those of us who can afford personal tutors for our children can get. It can be highly customized. It isn't dependent upon having the resources in a place like India, in rural India, 40% of teachers may be absent from their classroom any one day. So this notion of a caring teacher teaching is not a luxury most people have. So it's very very important we build this. Anybody here interested in participating in that we'd love to collaborate. Our next speaker is actually building something like this so we'll be very fortunate to meet and collaborate here. Let me stop here and say almost anybody who wants to participate in this can reach me at VK at coastalaventures.com and we'd love your help in building this personal tutor. Thank you all very much.

Good morning, Hank, it's Thursday. So about 11 months ago, I decided to take a year away from Twitter, Reddit, Instagram, and Facebook. And today, I want to give you an update on how that's gone, and also talk about why I won't be going back to those platforms until either they change or I do. So this all started because my relationship with certain social internet platforms had become really unhealthy. Like, spending time on them always made me feel this weird mix of scared and angry and outraged. I guess you could call it, like, scanged. And also, the social internet had come to occupy huge swaths of my attention. Like, I was spending four or five hours a day on my phone and hours more on my computer looking at social media. And I felt like I was really struggling to choose where my attention goes, so I decided to take a year off and see what, if anything, I would lose in the bargain. And I have lost some things. There's a lot I miss, actually, but what I miss most is being able to share and promote stuff I'm working on. Like, the fundraising for our project with Partners in Health Sierra Leone is going amazingly, but I also know there would be more donors if I were talking about it on Twitter and Instagram, and more people would be buying pizza miss shirts and etc. So maybe I should go back and only use those platforms as promotional tools, which I might do eventually, but right now I feel like I would just get sucked back into the feed. And I have a long history of failing to effectively moderate my social media usage, and indeed a long history of failing to moderate many other obsessions. And the thing is, I like my life much more now. Like, the average amount of time per day I spend on my phone has fallen by more than 80%. I'm getting more work done. This year I've written more words I'm proud of than any year since 2011, and I've hosted crash courses in European history and navigating digital information. I also feel like I'm better informed than I was at this time last year. Like, I miss the dizzying excitement of watching news stories unfold in real time online, but by reading my local newspaper and getting national and international news from podcasts and news outlets like The Economist, I feel like I'm learning a lot. But by far the most important thing is that I am now less socially isolated. I spend much more time with friends and family, which especially at the beginning was really hard and kind of stressful, but it's so fulfilling. Because there hasn't been a bright line between my life and my job for a long time, I'd started to feel like I was living my job and jobbing my life, and I don't feel that way anymore. So I'm not going back to Twitter or Reddit or Instagram or Facebook, not because they're evil or whatever, but because right now they don't work for me. I'm happier and more productive without them. Now, I do still spend a lot of time on the internet. I spend way too much time writing emails.  And I even sometimes lurk on Twitter and Reddit, which I'll probably continue to do, and I watch a lot of YouTube, not all of it nourishing, which is okay, I think. There is a place in this world for wondrously empty distraction. But to borrow a phrase from my friend Amy Cross Rosenthal, I do think that I've gotten a little bit better at paying attention to what I pay attention to, which brings me to the last big change. This time last year, my attention was so fractured that I struggled to read a book for even like 10 or 15 minutes without wanting to pick up my phone or computer. And it's really only in the last few months that I felt my enjoyment of long-form reading fully returned, but ah, it's wonderful. And a big part of that joy has been reading with the amazing community of our book club, Life's Library. We've just opened subscriptions for year two of Life's Library. In 2020, we'll read another nine books together beginning with Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower. You can either get a physical subscription, which comes with a book and beautiful book plates and some other perks or a digital subscription or our new audiobook subscription. There's also a podcast and Q&As with authors and a great community of readers at our Discord channel. It's just so wonderful and encouraging to read good books with nice people. Plus, all our proceeds go to charity. You can learn more at Life's Library Book Club dot com, link in the doobly-doo. Hank, I will see you tomorrow for the end of Pizzamas.


I did want to dig a little bit, maybe into sustainability. It feels like it's something that's not just the sole responsibility of the marketing team.  A market was created. Customer behavior was changed that you cannot get engaged with that diamond. And if you apply that to sustainability, you go, how can marketers reframe the choices you make? How can you actually start making people make better choices? So there's undoubtedly an issue. Having said that, organizations, businesses have to create new solutions, new packaging solutions, new ways of engaging. And then you can go very macro around it, which is what, how do you chase value? What's future value? What's growth in the future? So, you know, it's an end-to-end systemic shift in the world. And we kind of say it's everybody's business.


Good afternoon. In a little over 24 hours one of the most significant weather events in Queensland history will occur as tropical cyclone Yasi crosses the coast sometime after 9pm tomorrow night and before 4am the following morning in the Cairns area. This is a life threatening storm and people need to understand that in the next few hours they have a final window of opportunity to self evacuate from areas that will be affected by this cyclone, storm surge and rain pattern. Should people choose not to evacuate from those areas they should seek shelter with friends or family or remain in place if their residents and house is outside of the storm surge area. Certainly I would remind people that this will be a major event that will take several hours to cross the coast and there will be a very large eye or calm area in the middle of the storm. People should not relax, should not go outside during that time due to the high level winds which will follow the crossing of the eye. The effects of this event will be felt from Cape Flattery which is further north than Cooktown to Serena in the south. People who are living in North Queensland should remember that in areas such as Townsville the experience will be similar to a Category 2 cyclone and in Mackay similar to a Category 1 cyclone. Certainly in the hours that are left while safe travel is possible and that is between now and approximately 8-10am tomorrow morning people should make their final preparations to either as I have said shelter in place if not affected by the storm surge or self evacuate from a storm surge risk area. Certainly I would ask you to all monitor your radios for warnings and monitor media reports to gauge the oncoming event. Abay directions, there are many mandatory evacuation orders now in existence and police and SES volunteers will be door knocking areas and contacting residents telling them that they should evacuate and that evacuation is mandatory. Please heed those warnings and follow those directions. Finally I certainly hope that we will come through this together without loss of life but could I say that it is only through good preparation and preparedness that we will weather this storm together and I hope that in the next 48 hours we can look back and examine this event and hope that there has been no significant loss of life or injury. Thank you.


Activity that we do every year since we have global studies in here in the Human Use Department and consists in different activities that links globalization with different topics. And this year that's the third week, global week we change the dynamic and we choose to work in one topic in the global world and the topic is gender. If we want to achieve a better world we need to pay attention to gender and let's say gender inequality. The topic was gender globalization and development. So it began in the 1970s when that field began. There was nothing about this before. So it's a big has become a very big very large field because it has everything. Some things have improved and other things are the same. For women there's been a tremendous increase in employment worldwide what we call the feminization of the labor force at the global level.


Hello and welcome to Adafruit Show and Tell. Good evening, everybody. This is the show where we catch up with all the folks in the community to find out what everybody is working on. That's right, the best place to show off all your awesome DIY, electronic 3-printing guide, like tours of your workshop, cool code that's being worked on, all that is game. You can join by going on to the Discord at discord.gg slash Adafruit. You get an invite right there. Come on by. I don't have the Discord loaded, dang it. It is fine. I got it on the side here. All right, so, yep, like you said, we're going to kick it off with some folks from Adafruit and then we'll jump into community members. All right, let's start off with Scott. Hello. Hi, folks. I just realized I forgot to turn my lights on. That's okay. So I've been working on a USB host, which I showed last week, and I showed how it crashed. And I was working on it today, and I thought I had fixed it. So I was hoping to show that I had fixed it, but I'm not sure. So I'm hoping, you know, there's this saying like the demo gods will, may cause something to not work. Well, I'm kind of hoping for the reverse. So why did you pull up my screen there? So I've got, the top is just like your normal circuit by done connection. Your bottom is a USB to serial output that has extra debugging data in it. So that's what you're seeing there. And what I did last week, and I'll try now is I'm going to control C, and yeah, it didn't work. And we can see why. So we're getting a bunch of other stuff in here. I'm not sure. Device unplugged at address, boarded transfer. I thought that would be enough to fix it, but apparently it's not. So I've continued working on this USB host support, and I obviously have more work to do, but I was trying to get it on Espressif and SAMD and other chips as well, and also running into some issues. So I think this is probably what I'll be doing on deep dive on Friday. So if you want to see tiny USB debugging, stop by on Friday at 2 p.m. Pacific on these Adafruit streams. Awesome. It sounds like this is the whole reason why you came on just to plug the show, but definitely a good one. Oh yeah, of course. No, definitely. I didn't hope that it was just fixed and I could move on. Definitely not. This calls job security for me. Definitely. Awesome. Yeah, everybody tuning in. Should be an exciting one. Thanks for having me. All right. Thanks. Okay. Next up, we'll check in with Jeff Epler. Good evening. I'm on a retro computing kick again. You're gonna grab a board from down here. So a couple of years ago in an estate sale, I got some of this old computer called a Xerox820. And this little baby runs CPM, has 64 megabytes of RAM and 2.5, no, 64 kilobytes of RAM and 2.5 megahertz. And it comes built in. It's actually back here. I've got a bunch of these. But there we go, down there in that pile is like the thing with the built in display. But I've got these other boards that don't have a display or a keyboard or a floppy drive. And I'm working on making them usable by adding stuff to it. So what I'm trying to add right now is a display. And I had a thought of, well, I know from all the documentation that the display signal inside is digital, which just means it's like a zero to five volts signal. With horizontal and vertical information and then whether the pixel is on or off because it's just a green screen monitor. So I put together, and I'll risk giving some people a vertigo here, I put together a feather with the DVI connector. And I've got it hooked up to my Xerox here. And now if you bring up my screen share, you'll see the fruits of that. And so this is a live view of what the computer is displaying converted into a digital HDMI DVI signal using the Adafruit Feather DVI. And so here in the monitor on the software running in that board that's built in, I can disassemble, that didn't quite do what I meant, but it's showing like some of the contents of the memory. And yeah, so that is kind of one piece of what I want to do. Next up is converting with some of Scott's code, a USB keyboard so that it can plug into this archaic keyboard interface, which is a 25-pin thingy, a little bit like a printer, but kind of in reverse. So working on this and eventually I'll be able to like spin up three of these classic computers and I don't know, we'll play Zork on them or something. That's what I'm up to. It looks very crazy, I like the text. Yeah, there are some numbers you have to fiddle to get it to be stable like this. If the numbers aren't quite right, it shifts like LCD monitors did back in the day when we plugged in our RGB and they weren't tuned just right. But yeah, this will probably morph into a guide in the Adafruit Learn system soon because this is showing a way of using the Pico DVI. This won't directly apply to another system of the age, but you can maybe adapt it to your own system. So I had a lot of fun making this. I was really excited to see it come together. This uses circuit Python, which is crazy because it's like two million pixels a second or something. But with circuit Python, I made it work and yeah, I'll do a guide sometime in the next couple of weeks about it. Cool, we'll look forward to it. See you all around. Thanks, Andrew. And speaking of keyboards. Yeah, let's check in with Ann. Ann, hello. Thank you guys for the project. Yeah, my wife Amy, she gave me a nice gift not too long ago. It's one of these old-time looking keyboards. They're made by a company called Datamancer. And they come in like wood and metal and stuff. And they're very hefty. And you can see this one has a typewriter keyboard, which is better for me. The original had these keys that they're called Elizabethan. And I can read cursive, but this goes beyond that. It looks like a hieroglyph almost. Yeah, it almost does. I mean, some of these other ones are like, oh, wow, yeah, which orientation is that? But they're all the standard Cherry MX. And actually, she also found, like on Amazon, you can get keycaps that are like the typewriter ones with Cherry MX, plus on them too. So I've got a bunch of keys that don't work very well. But I've got this cool keyboard. And now it has compatibility with Mac and PC. I might use that the USB host that is being shown and convert that to maybe use on one of these classic IBM machines somewhere. That would be kind of cool. Maybe a USB to PS2, something like that. Although, those look kind of antique. But I mean, I think this looks a little bit more. It looks so steampunk. Especially with the brass. Is that brass? Yeah, that's brass. This kind of keyboard was in warehouse 13. And a similar one from the same company, Datamancer, was in Big Bang Theory. I was going to say, that might show up on that fallout TV series. Could be. Yeah. I would not be surprised. So does it come fully assembled or is it kits? Yeah, it's fully assembled. And but again, say you have your own preferred keycaps. They're just swappable. Actually, you can specify what kind of Cherry keys you want. And I'm a Cherry Brown fan. Cherry MX Brown. So that gives me a pretty good, without having to really bam, bam, bam. I like the blue. Yeah. That's pretty loud, clicky. Oh, I love clicky. I mean, my corsair down here is clicky. But it doesn't require so much physical force that your fingers are tired at the end of the day. That's true. I'm getting to where I keep pressing the wrong freaking key so I'd wish I'd have to apply more pressure for it to actually accept. Well, I think Cherry has a thing where you can get different ones and try them out. But I suggest you go to a computer shop that has different Cherry keyboards and try them. Pick your own. Yeah. Awesome. Cool. Well, thanks for sharing. Looks lovely. Thank you. Have a good night. Thank you, too. OK. Next up, let's check in with JP. Oh, sorry. Oh, OK. Yep. Hey. It's the con we were talking about. We were like, all the Adrefruit people should have access to the stream yard. And we were like, no, we're all going to be clicking on the wrong thing. Yeah, it's dangerous. Many operators. Hey, guys. So I showed my first version of this watch winder last week on my live stream and, however, find it. And this is what it's looking like. So for background, for people who don't know what this is, this watch I have is a mechanical watch that does not have an actual crown winder. All it has is the automatic mechanism, which is essentially an eccentric weighted rotor, they call it, that spins around. You can actually kind of see it. It's hard to show because of the band, but you can kind of see it backwards. And I have hands in the way. OK, you can sort of see there is a pendulum. There, it moved. Sort of a pendulum-y thing in there. And that moves just by you wearing it, and it keeps it wound. It's got a little pinion mechanism, and it keeps it wound. These are neat. These come in all variety of price ranges. This is inexpensive once a Seiko, but Rolexes and Omega's and Patek Philipses is kind of a popular mechanism because it means you don't have to wind the thing. However, it also means that if you don't wear it for a couple of days, it's going to lose time and eventually just be wrong. So there's this whole segment of kind of weird watch kind of sewer accessories that include watch winders, which look less LEGO-like than this, but it's essentially the same idea. It's a little sort of compartment you put your watch into, and it spins sort of slowly to keep it wound, and then some of them will also reverse direction. And you can calculate, based on your watch, how much winding you want it to do so that it isn't just fully winding the main spring all the time, but lets it actually run down a bit. That's the idea behind it. And this is my refined version of it that I've got running on a Circle Playground Express and a Cricut board, which are now just driving one of our little TT motors, little gear motor here. I don't have it in here, but I had a pretty big gear train to step it down and give me some more torque. And then I realized that this little worm gear, which is just kind of two parts that is pretty common if you build any LEGO Technic stuff. This gives me kind of what I need in a much smaller package. So we sell the TT motor and a little adapter that goes from the TT motor to the LEGO axle. And then everything else in here is actual LEGO. So I've got this little worm gear screw and a gear wheel, and that turns this bit here. And I also have it on sort of a little clutching peg. So it won't burn out the motor if it runs into something that's can actually turn. So if I turn it on, oh, that's anti-climactic that I unplugged you. Whoops. Turn it on, it will spin it. I have it turning out a revolution and then reversing just kind of for testing purposes. And I coded that in make code. So it's pretty easy to go in and add features if you want to use the button to increase or decrease the speed or change how many times it's gonna spin before it reverses direction, how long to pause, all that stuff you can do pretty easily in make code. Originally I'd done this with one of our stepper motors thinking that I would need that for it to be kind of quiet enough to not drive you crazy, but this is actually not that loud. And you can go ahead and encase it if you want to build a sort of a more elaborate thing around it. I 3D printed this cool LEGO compatible Cricut plate that you guys built for some of our projects a few years ago, these are great. I have it on kind of obnoxiously tall standoffs, I might lower those, but the rest of it, you can see this is just popped into, that makes it compatible with LEGO. So it's just kind of popped onto there. So I'm working on a guide for this. I just built this over in LEGO or Bricklink Studio, which is kind of a popular CAD program for LEGO stuff these days. So that'll make it easy to share a build guide for that in a parts list for people who want to go buy the parts on Bricklink or on LEGO, pick a brick or something. And it'll be just like a page of make code code explaining what it does, but otherwise should be a pretty straightforward build for anyone who happens to have this kind of watch or another need because you can use these, you can kind of modify this for people like to make peanut butter turners that'll keep their peanut butter from separating or just other stuff to rotate. And then a small side, I tried to, and I may show this on the show tomorrow. Lamor said, hey, what about trying to fake out a step counter on things like an Apple Watch or a Fitbit? And so I tried a, we have the Bangal JS, which is an open source smart watch and it has pedometer built into the firmware of it. It was not straightforward to fake the thing out. What I think it did was use real logged data of people walking to get an average of what a pedometer like they could watch it look like. So it is not like some simple like spiking on one axis. So I'll show you tomorrow, the ridiculous contraption I had that was basically doing like a oscillating pendulum motion wobble at the end. And finally I got the thing to fake out steps, but I don't know. I think maybe just wear it and walk. The Apple Watch Ultra, it gets tricks so easy. Oh, is it right?  It's so dumb. Like I won't be walking and it thinks I'm walking or I'm walking for like an hour. And it like when I get back home, it's like, would you like to start a run? I'm like, no, I just finished one and I want my hour back. You've ripped me off. Apple is using the simple little fricking one, you know, did the Z go, get highlighted or go high here? Cause that's what it feels like when I'm trying to have track my fricking. I wonder if it'll get picked out just by rotation cause I know that some people maybe look online, I think there are companies that are now forcing employees to get 10,000 steps to reduce their insurance. And so there's plenty of websites that are talking about hacks. A lot of them look like I suspect they don't work but some of them are like strap it to your fan and you know, get 10,000 steps in 20 minutes and then make sure you stop it or it'll be a little suspicious. And I think here I am thinking it's like, you know, it's looking at GPS and seeing how it's going. And it's like, nope. Yeah, it could be, but apparently they're not. No. Good news of the Lego wheels. Yeah. Oh yeah, thanks, yeah. So that's kind of one of the issues with this is that you need to be able to have sort of a wrist sized thing that isn't too much of a pain to connect to. So I picked a fairly common sort of Mindstorm Technic kind of wheel that this fits on. And if you had a adjustable watch, this one isn't really easily adjustable. It'd be even better fit, but I'm also kind of squishing it into this piece here. So it holds pretty well. There are also, you know, other orientations you could do it in and probably different mechanisms you can come up with. But I tend to design this kind of stuff based on parts on hand rather than like, what would be the ultimate solution of Lego parts instead? I was like, do I have that? Okay, let's try that because then I don't have to wait for parts to come in. And, you know, I imagine you could probably do a pretty nice purpose built 3D printed design for something like this. Maybe just using some of the Lego parts for the gear where you want a lot of strength, but I'm sure that- I think this is way funner to put together. I want to put together. That is true. Yeah, I love building with Technic parts. Yeah. Yeah, right now I think this is maybe that one out for the kids. I think there's maybe 30-ish dollars in parts right now when I checked against, like that's one of the nice features in studios. You can ask it, what's this model gonna cost if I upload it? So it'll go based on average prices. Very cool. Nice. All right. Well, that's what I got. All right. We'll see you in the show tomorrow. Thanks. Super cool. All right. Okay. And that is all the Adafruiters. That means it's time for Adafruit Community. We'll kick it off with Mark. Mark. Hello. Hello. Hi. So about four years ago, I really got into electronics right as COVID hit and it just happens to coincide with my birthday every year. So anyone that's been watching show and tell for a while has seen me made various attempts to put out a candle, some being more successful than others, including flooding my desk. Oh no. Last year, after I did one of my projects, Jeff Jepler suggested I should have one of those little candle snuffers. So this year, let's hopefully this all loaded, I have three printed a candle snuffer that hopefully live demo worry aside, will put out the candle on the cupcake. Fun, interesting fact. I have found out during this project that stepper motors do not have enough torque to even lift something less small without a gearbox. And well, you can 3D print gearboxes. I can't design and build one that works in a day. So the servo works great. It was from an old model plane. So with luck. Oh, nice. Well done. I was gonna say, I don't know how the angle is gonna work on a video. Yeah, there's a little bit of testing on it. But yeah, it worked perfectly though it keeps just going to make sure. It keeps going, yeah. The candle is efficiently out. But I am not flooding anything. I'm not lighting cardboard on fire or doing anything else. And in the past has happened. So. Excellent. Now I'm hoping that's a real cupcake that you can eat now. This is 100% a cupcake, which I will steal from there. And now it's gone. All right. I think the next step is do it as an IOT, right? We're just have like IO push the button and then over a Wi-Fi. It's always funner to actuate it yourself. Yeah, I didn't have time to set everything up to go this. It was a fairly last minute project, but I figured after getting the idea last year, I had to make sure I followed through. Cool. Well, everybody in Discord wish Mark a happy birthday. It's always great to have you on. And kind of keep this as a tradition now. It's very fun. It's been a fun way of picking a random thing that I haven't done before, whether it was motors, water pumps, and trying something new. Yeah, very cool. All right. Well, thank you for sharing that with us. Thanks a lot. All right. Have a great day. Have a good one. All righty. And now we're going to end it off with the fine folks at NanoGraphs. Hello. Welcome. Hello. Hello. So we're going to screen share. So we've got the same sample in the microscope that Adam showed off last week, which is a men's accelerometer. And we somewhat by accident blew a hole in it after the last week. So now we are just exploring the effects of high probe current on them. So electron beams are capable of milling. Wow. Physically, a lot of times they will. So it's not as clean as bibs milling. It is a lot meltier, a lot more charged up. Yeah, that looks melted. Yeah, so I guess we'll do some melting live. Do you want to zoom in a little bit on the probe current? Yeah. Oh, cool. Compatite with contrast. What? Okay, really fully. So we can kind of see things. Yeah, there we go. Now we're kind of got our melt water forming. Oh yeah. Oh, wow. So the lattice, the kind of waffle-y structure, moves that to the area where the beam is scanning. It just yulks completely. Oh, dang. So this is with... So I actually like did this on accident last time. I was trying to blast away a piece of dust that was on the sample, trying to make it fly away. And it moved a little bit, and it didn't move enough. And so I was like, okay, I'll turn the beam current up more. And I turned the beam current up more, and it didn't move at all. And then this is the aperture control right here. So we can move, we can put a different physical-sized aperture in the beam. And so I tried all four aperture sizes, and it didn't move enough. And then I removed the aperture completely. And when the aperture was removed completely, the sample just started disappearing in front of me, and it kind of freaked out, and I zoomed out. And I was like, actually, this is cool. So then I kept kind of doing it. So I'm gonna put the aperture back in. So if we zoom out now, or let's drop the probe current first so we don't fry everything. So let's zoom out some. And we can go to probe current like 11. We're at 16 right now. Yeah, so there's the area we just melted. So I'm gonna put the aperture out. This is about as sharp as we can get the picture. It's still kind of blurry. So I'm gonna put the aperture in now, and go ahead and bring the contrast up. And then we can focus a little bit more now. And we can actually increase probe current too. So we're able to get a, let's get a probe current eight. We're able to get a lot clearer picture now that we actually have an aperture in the column. But this is the power of an electron beam. Very crispy. You wanna zoom out and show the whole chip? So yeah, we, and this thing is like a couple of millimeters wide. So we are actually like melting a pretty big area here at the beam. So these thing, these electron, or the company that actually makes this microscope, Japanese Electron Optics Laboratory, they're coming out with an electron beam 3D printer. It kind of works like a laser metal 3D printer, except it melts the metal with the electron beam. And you're able to get really incredible material properties with that. Like single crystal metals. Whereas electron beams can be focused much smaller than the others. Yeah, so you're able to produce some pretty intricate parts that way with really good mechanical properties. And they kind of just like, You can weld with electrons? Yeah, you can do electron beam welding too. Electron beam evaporation. So the melting and the fusing, that's kind of at the higher end of what we're capable of getting out of the beam current of this particular microscope. But with some modifications, we could substantially increase the beam current by reducing resolution even more. And so it might even be possible to turn this thing into like a powder bed fusion 3D printer. Oh wow. For very tiny parts. Because the microscope that Joel, Japanese electron laboratory makes is just one of these columns kind of like on top of the big chamber. And it's just a massive metal 3D printer, so. So yeah. Amazing. Yeah, the welding part, that's what just blew my mind. Yeah, electron beam welding, it's, electron beams are really good at just directly depositing heat. Yeah, they don't have to kind of. Ion beams have a lot more mass than electrons. So Ion beams have a lot more kinetic energy, so they physically like knock other molecules out of the way, but electrons. Just heat the atoms up. Yeah. So with this we can evaporate stuff away, we can melt stuff, but we can't really just like slice this cleanly with the focused ion beam that we had previously that was using ions instead of electrons and we were able to like slice with that. So there was more, it actually kind of cools the sample as you hit it with the ion beam because the heat gets carried away by the atom if I get like physically dislocated. But e-beam it just all goes into heat, so. Oh, very cool. I didn't expect it to take you out.  Oh, let's see. I know, that's what it looks like. Nice. Oh man, PT would have got a kick at it. It looks beautiful. Dude, sand worm. Oh, wow. Awesome. That's great. So yeah, that's the power of electron beams. Very cool. Thanks for coming on tonight. We really appreciate it. Yeah, absolutely, it's been great. Cool, all right. Well, you folks have a good night. Y'all have a good evening. All right, thanks. Bye, everybody. All right. Not expecting to see. Yeah, what a great good to end it. All right. All right, well, this has been Adafruit Show & Tell. Thank you everybody for coming on. Don't go anywhere at just a couple of minutes. Mr. and Mrs. Adeda will be streaming Ask an Engineer. Yep, make sure to stay tuned into the discord in case like some schedule changes happens. Be sure to find out there and you can find all of the, you know, the script, the transcript for like the show and all of the repostings of the live stuff will be up on the YouTube channel. So make sure to stay around for that. But I think that is it for this evening. Thanks to everybody for showing off your awesome projects. Forget everybody shows tomorrow and then all the other shows that happened throughout the week. Forget what the camera is in the discord. It'll tell you what schedule is there. Cool, thanks for showing. All right, folks, have a good night. Bye, everybody. Bye, night.


Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. Good afternoon Mr. Speaker and good afternoon to colleague parliamentarians. I wish Mr. Speaker, before I continue to speak on this resolution which seeks to get the authority from parliament for the Minister of Finance to finance to borrow 5,217,000 dollars from the special funds resources of the bank to finance safety nets for vulnerable persons affected by COVID-19. Before I make my brief contribution Mr. Speaker, I want to join other colleagues and to express condolences to the family of the youngness who met her demise in a very tragic way earlier today. I wish to express my profound sadness not only to the family but to the other nurses and especially to the staff of the Millennium Heights Medical Complex and all other health institutions. I am being told Mr. Speaker that she was well loved and her family is in deep grief. I also wish Mr. Speaker to take this opportunity to wish all musicians happy feast of musicians in the constituency of V4North where I confirm we have a rich tradition of musicians and families of musicians and there are so many of them Mr. Speaker I wish all of them well and I am hoping that today they will relax and spend some good time with their families and with members of the community. Mr. Speaker the impact of COVID-19 on St. Lucia and the Caribbean are well known in some quarters and in other quarters Mr. Speaker we are still counting or trying to assess the impact of COVID-19. I want to spend just a few minutes to speak to this resolution Mr. Speaker but I wish to borrow from the work of Lilia Buwenkiewic who is the World Bank's Country Director for Caribbean Countries and she has this discussion which she offered in August of this year on the COVID-19 its impacts and how Mr. Speaker we should be thinking of strengthening social protection systems and rethinking social protection systems especially in light of the impacts of COVID-19. She offers a few suggestions and I want to use her arguments Mr. Speaker as a basis for my discussion today. Mr. Speaker as we all know the COVID-19 pandemic has on the mind food security on a global scale. I think it's important to remind members and the general public that the impacts of COVID-19 the negative impacts of COVID-19 some of them are health related unfortunately death all over the Caribbean and the world but the impacts have been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine and just to mention Mr. Speaker this year the World Food Program estimates that 40% or 2.8 million people in the English speaking Caribbean will struggle to access adequate food and remain food secure. It's important to note Mr. Speaker but in addition to COVID-19 30% of global wheat imports and almost 20% of corn exports more than 50% of the sunflower oil supply globally are in problems. Exports have stalled food prices are on the rise I think it's very important for our people to understand for our constituents to understand that all of these things will cause the impacts of COVID-19 to be even more severe. We are seeing reports of food prices going up and we have also seen Mr. Speaker the highest levels in terms of fuel prices since 2008 why are all these things important in this discussion these things are important because people in our communities and our constituencies are under pressure they are under pressure because COVID-19 wreaked havoc on our social infrastructure COVID-19 destroyed many families some of the breadwinners of the families are desist unfortunately and some people continue to suffer so there is an urgent need according to Lilia Buenewijk for us to look at social protection systems and to buffer our economies to protect the vulnerable Mr. Speaker the crisis is compounded by the fiscal strain on the governments you heard a while ago the opposition is chastising this government indicating that we promise to give people things that we are not giving to them I was pleasantly surprised not surprised but I was very happy when the member for CASTRI's central went into the history of the management of this economy by the member for Mikusov and I was happy when he mentioned the record which the member for Mikusov got in 2016 the healthy economy and the rebound the reduction of the fiscal deficit to 3.1% I believe moving from almost 9% when the member for Duford South came into government and how he squandered that is the member for Mikusov how he squandered this wonderful opportunity by going on a frolic of his own a frolic in his own mind Mr. Speaker to enter into all kinds of deals and his answer to economic growth is revenues revenues that as long as you have revenues you have economic growth today is not the day for a discussion on economics Mr. Speaker but clearly his strategy did not work and we are in a lot of problems exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis the World Bank suggests a few things and I listened to my colleague the member for Caster East this morning and I was very comforted by the fact that a number of suggestions by the World Bank Mr. Speaker I heard him speak about how the professionals in his ministry are working towards these suggestions the first is for us to update our poverty data and target in mechanisms I know for example Mr. Speaker that we are encouraging our professionals to focus on the data get the data right I know we are encouraging community groups to get involved the World Bank also indicates that we should implement economic inclusion programs and when you look at the work of this government the department of commerce when you look at what is happening with our programs and in a while the loan for small businesses is coming you will understand Mr. Speaker that this government is focused on implementing economic inclusion programs the World Bank suggests also that we modernize the social protection system and increase institutional capacity I heard the minister speak about PAP and he is very fond of discussing PAP the public assistance program we need to modernize that we know Mr. Speaker that in the last government we know the kinds of havoc that was wrecked on the public assistance program and we are still trying to understand how certain people found themselves there and how we can use a modern tool and a fair tool to get help to those people who really need help there are number of people in my constituency Mr. Speaker who should be in this program and as to why they are not in this program I don't know so I am very pleased that the minister and his ministry are trying to rectify this problem are trying to improve the public assistance program and the World Bank also suggests that we strengthen social insurance and labour market programs and work is ongoing with the help of the World Bank and OECS to do this so we need to strengthen the grassroots level involvement in this public assistance strategies and to reimagine social protection but Mr. Speaker our government has demonstrated that we are a progressive government a government which has implemented in its short stint so far a number of policies in social protection as we know social protection policy progressive social protection policy is really an investment the people have evidence of our actions Mr. Speaker look at in the post Covid era although we still have Covid 19 we can begin to think about a developing post Covid era we have serious issues to consider still our government is considering those issues and you the people are in the mind of our government look for example we know Mr. Speaker that although Covid 19 infections are going down we know a number of people who get Covid 19 we are recovering but now we are discovering that many people who are infected with Covid 19 seem to have complications which may affect the future productive lives and that's a very serious problem we in the department of health wellness and elderly affairs we are looking at this problem and we are beginning to speak we are speaking with car for power and the other agencies to find out how serious this is why people are recovering from Covid 19 people are reporting all kinds of pains and aches and things that they never had before and they are now going to certain doctors more regularly they are seeing specialists for ailments that they never had before so this is something we have to consider when we look at social protection it means Mr. Speaker that some people even though they got Covid and they have recovered it looks as if we may have another crisis down the road and it's a looming crisis of long Covid and people who do not understand yet what's happening to them after they have contracted Covid and recovered so social protection we need to go down that road too and begin to look at how how will that affect the workplace and how will it affect our productive capacity here it requires for us to be guided by the evidence the change in nature of work for example since Covid 19 a lot of workplaces have changed the operations and how does that impact social protection the labour market programs Mr. Speaker look at what this government has done access to tourism through community tourism activities the youth economy and the opportunities that can be found there very soon access to funding by the youth will come through the youth economy look at education look at what this government has done and if we are talking about social protection we are talking about parents who got impacted by Covid 19 and the government came in and said we know you are impacted by Covid 19 little by little let me take off some pressure of you so we went and we paid the facilities fees we paid the CXE fees when you negotiated with flow and there is the flow bundle and a number of individuals have been connected right now as we speak so when we speak of social protection when we speak of a government with a conscience with a focus with a focus on protecting individuals in the communities our government is there for you the people our government is focused on that Mr. Speaker access to information technology where a parent would have to probably get close to a thousand EC dollars to purchase a laptop our government is ensuring that the parents, you the parents get some protection and to ease off the burden from you a bit and when we speak of micro businesses in a way we will hear a debate on the loans for micro businesses more opportunities for social protection because the world bank and all the experts are saying yes we have to give transfers and we have to help people out but the best form of social protection in the long run is to ensure that you graduate these people and you give them skills so that at the end of the day they can survive on their own and they can create even better opportunities for other people through employment so Mr. Speaker I support this loan Mr. Speaker we came here to lend money but we didn't even lend money Mr. Speaker we came here to lend money to help our country when we were in elections we went to power Salve Is Ediki Kailasa koazee we served we got contractor we got BLOSSATY so the people who did it the people who helped the people who had a difficulty with Covid-19  Ky
