Hey, hello everyone and welcome to Show and Tell. It's me, John Park. I am guest hosting tonight. Phil and Lamore had some stuff to take care of and wanted to let you know there will not be Ask an Engineer tonight. They'll be back next week so be sure to tune in then. You get the night off.  I think they will be doing some pre-records of some segments. So watch through the week for some little videos to show up here and there on our social media. But we have some of our Eight of Free Team members here to show off some projects they're working on and things they're up to. Also if you are a member of the community and you would like to hop in and show something that you're working on, please do please stop by. What you can do is head over to our blog. You'll see a blog post there that will give you information about how to join in or head on over to our Discord server which is at ateafrew.it slash discord and you can jump into the live broadcast chat channel where there is a link right for this. Question we got from the chat actually Jeremy Figgins asked does this mean no coupon code tonight? That is correct. No coupon code tonight. You can tune in tomorrow during my workshop show. There will be a coupon then but none tonight. So let's go ahead and get started. We have Scott joining us here. Hey Scott. Hello. Hey John thanks for hosting. Sure thanks. And have a meet. Yes what are you up to? What's going on? I'm working on moving CircuitPython to Espresso's IDF 5 as we were talking before the show. This is the SDK C-layer that they provide to make the code the same across all their chips and we built CircuitPython on top of that. So IDF 5 is a big change that they've done on top of that and 5.1 which will be next also supports some new chips which is exciting and also one of the reasons that we have motivation to move is because we get the latest chip support as well. So I've just been testing it out. So here I have an S2 running my build and you can see there's my Wi-Fi access points. And unfortunately the HTTPS call fails. The one that's HTTPS works but the other one's not working unfortunately so I'm trying to figure out why that is. I think it's a memory related thing so I'll have to take a look at that. That's kind of where we're at. It's compiling. I've got a building for all the boards but I'm trying to figure out like to get it to work and then I have one other quick screen I wanted to share just for folks that do ESP work. So a lot of what I've been doing is diffing the comparison to what I've been doing previously and I just wanted to highlight for those folks who actually do ESP boards I'm adding these PS RAM size mode and frequency things to make it really clear what your board setup is and I was telling you earlier you can also see that I'm changing the mode and the frequency from the existing version so the deleted red version is deleted and these new lines are newer. As I'm testing I'm also speeding up with flash and the RAM accesses that's great. We'll hopefully make a circuit by thumb run faster. That's a nice bump. Yeah it should be a nice bump. It's like optimization I've done with like IMX and RP2040 but I haven't actually always done the optimization work on the ESP so I'm excited to do that and hopefully get some speed ups. Oh that's great. Yeah I was telling you I've been working with the little ESP 32S3 QT Pi for some projects and loving it. The thing is just so beefy. Yes for sure. I mean circuit Python development on it is I feel like it's noticeably faster from hit save to it's just up and running your code which is really nice when you're iterating. Yeah totally. Thank you for the hard work you're putting in. We all appreciate it. No problem. Thank you to Eddie for paying me to do it. Great. Thanks Scott. We'll see you soon. Take care. Thanks John. The intense behind the scenes work that goes on. That's good stuff. All right next up we've got Liz. Hey Liz how's it going? Hello speaking of the ESP 32S3 I've been working on a matrix portal project with the S3 and so up to the side here I've got four led panels and they're 32 by 64 so it makes a display that's 128 by 64 and then I'm using the S3 to get data from the ESPN APIs and I'm tracking data for NFL football MLB baseball, MLS soccer, NHL hockey and NBA basketball and so what it does is you in the code define what teams you want to track and then it will pull down what team they're playing against when the game is when the game is active right now the only game that's active is Red Sox which should be coming up a bit it'll show the score and also like a little detail about the game if it's off season which hockey and basketball are right now we'll say ruins are just killing right now. So yeah I'm gonna start writing this up so folks can use it and it's using the JSON streams library which Scott worked on as well and what that means is like it's a huge JSON file if anyone's tried to look at the ESPN API and so this streams it so that's not storing the whole thing in memory which can sometimes cause your board to like crash so yes this is a nice way to to parse through all this data. Yeah oh this is excellent I I really look forward to this because I had actually done some work with code that Melissa had written to do on our one of the E Inc boards and the mag tag I think and there were some of the ESPN JSON files that worked but some like college football had such a massive schedule there were so many games in a given JSON file that it would eat the four boards so also this is E Inc is nice and all but this is so much more of like a scoreboard kind of look yeah I love I love your idea for this project it's really cool. Thank you and the one thing I was worried about was the logos because you know you have to have everything format into like bitmap and make sure okay so I I wrote up on the playground I can put it into the chat a Python script that because within the JSON there's also links to logos for all the teams that you can access. No kidding. So I run a Python script and folks will be able to run it on their own computer too which will grab all the logos put them into folders so then you can put them onto your circuit pie drive and they're already resized to 32 by 32 gamma everything like that. Wow that is excellent really cool really great work that looks fantastic. Thank you. I got help as far as which stats people would want to see from my brother-in-law is a huge sports fan and I promised him one of the mag tags which I never gave him because the thing was crashing for the sports he cared about so maybe I owe him one of these. Yeah definitely and being from outside Boston it's like impossible to not know about sports like it's against my will. Fantastic thanks Liz and you said that's a guide you're going to be working on soon so people yes should hopefully be out next week. Wow great really cool thanks so much. All right next up we got Pedro. We have multiple views what's happening. So I can come bearing gifts there is a coupon code still active I think. Check that out all right over in the chat. I use Tombstone which shows the project we're showing off and this is an update to last year's Tombstone with the matrix display so Lamar wanted to show off again the prop maker rp2040 and wanted to show that it can run the matrix display as well as all of the other prop stuff so we got servo raven crow guy here with the led eyes and then I forget the name of the time of flight sensor l35 lcd something help me out Liz she did the code for this excellent as always so when it detects distance coming up and there's a little wait time like 30 seconds it's not like constantly looping over when the kids come by and you know want to scare them so there is a speaker hidden right behind here but I disconnected it because it's so freaking loud but total crafty project here aside from the three printed bird which I guess you could just get like a styrofoam one as well so I just use the wire cutter and because these are so thick uh there's enough space um thickness to inset your matrix display as well as all the components so speaker fits in here and I'm just building like little um foam core little um holders to keep everything in place and then when the wire cutter I'm just building all these like uh recesses so all the wires and the LEDs can get pushed in same thing with like the sensor and then everything's just powered out the um one of the wall adapters for the matrix display so using the conduit for um all the wire like hiding everything and then even the servo horn for the uh raven it's just like more uh construction with the the crafting so foam core to build your horn and then just easily inserts into the uh head there called LEDs all mounted on there the same way same thing with the servo it's actually just the uh black foam core on there because I didn't want to go into fusion and like spend all this time um modeling all the components for that so like 10 minutes I was able to just cut everything out of foam core in up and rounding so um yeah super easy project uh nice little upgrade and then of course hindsight you know when you finish the project like oh we could have added this and that so some of the ideas like no way had was like oh the text should have changed when people kind close or like had like a candy dispenser to you know dispense that like for relays so it's like turns on the fog machine or like I don't know have like a whole little graveyard scene you know so definitely some of the things we're going to be thinking about for oh that's great yeah exactly yeah even like we were talking about earlier before the show like those translucent displays to like make that box go so it'd be so cool for next year so maybe next year yeah you're you're uh you're at least ready nice and early for this halloween with this uh project so oh yeah I mean when halloween rolls around we're gonna do the christmas stuff already so it ain't over yet and then and uh the learn guide is live for this or I guess that's posted up and oh you can use coupon code uh get some I think we're out of stock but sign up to get more prop makers I'll be back soon great and that's all right awesome stuff great project thanks for sharing that thank you all right all right uh let's see next up we've got joey hey joey nice to see you howdy good to see it too how's things things are good so um I wish I had more to show in my hand but I actually I can show some photos of what I just did over the weekend uh if I can share my screen sure uh share my whole screen okay so um can you all see my screen there it is yep so yeah so my buddy uh Zach has this I don't know conceptual art project sculpture park de facto sovereign nation in the desert called the Republic of Zachistan and um so we went out there this weekend um it's just kind of some photos of the uh flagpole of robot guardians uh and uh one of the monuments which we actually went there mostly to repair these monuments you can see some of the panels missing but one of the things I kind of wanted to do out there was uh build a weather station because you know uh because you know it's a it's a de facto republic in the desert it deserves to have it's like weather data known so I kind of wanted to build this weather station so what do we need we have like wind we have wind direction speed rainfall and then sensor package in here it's a solar panel to keep it uh alive and so yeah I designed this board it's a kind of clones y'all feather wing quadrupler uh and has some boards of my own design including the lcd feather wing which y'all actually sell yeah I love that one yeah and um this satellite modem and so yeah let me show you some sensor package uh this is the uh well first of all I wanted to interface the sensors over a more weatherproof wire in the stomach qt so I have this stomach qt to rj11 jack which means I use that ice bird c active terminator to kind of keep the ice bird c lines nice and nice and sharp yeah um our ltr390 uv sensor pms3 something or other uh air quality and a bme280 for temperature humidity going out this cable gland this enclosure is actually a I think annoying headboard project of the weather station y'all did um see here it is in the enclosure which I got from y'all and um yeah this is a first time I've kind of designed a board for an enclosure so that's kind of cool uh gets this like kind of clear pet g hat to keep it all in place and yeah here's me soldering in the desert first thing in the morning adding a temperature sensor for the battery which is important for in your like outdoor projects but yeah this is like uh this is what it looks like when it's finally put together and uh I really like designing like again these are all like kind of boards I've put together for the from on the feather form factor but I now can kind of mix and match like oh I need solar power but I also need a low power display and a rain gauge so now I can like plop those three boards in there and I can kind of design a gadget around like yeah there's like this feather kind of form factor and I have more and more things I can just kind of plug in you know yeah there's a modularity as well as the the custom side to it which is really helpful yeah um so yeah this is the first satellite data that came down I was able to get it on a buddy's phone just took a photo of the screen and uh yeah me installing the weather station first visitor it got to see it's a god spider but yeah so this is the zakistan uh weather station and you can actually see live satellite weather data oh great that's fantastic I was about to ask where is it broadcast oh it's yeah we get the data down via swarm this uh a little low power low cost iot satellite network and post it up to the website so yeah that is the uh that's my weekend project we're going up to zakistan and uh what an upgrade for zakistan right uh I hope they have a wikipedia page and they do and they'll be on there or I'm gonna go edit it that's really cool joey thanks for sharing that for sure yep good to see you thanks for having me good thing take care all right uh that's really fun uh by the way if you're still watching joey in the chat mark gambler has a question what size battery did you use for that so I don't know if you're over on the discord uh or if I can bring you back on here let's see let me bring you back on if you're yeah yeah yeah um I'm using the 6600 milliampere hour battery that y'all sell so it's like three cells yeah I'm joined together I'm actually realizing I'm using y'alls the colossal panel that y'alls have the solar and uh yeah I probably don't need that much battery because it's topping off every day on the you know the sunlight that it gets but I didn't know it's cloudy you're ready for uh yeah yeah for a few days of clouds ready for for the solar eclipse or the the dust storms yes great thanks joey sure thing uh all right very cool project and now I want to go to zakistan uh let's see next up we've got dj debon three hello hello can you hear me I can hear you very well what's up okay uh well I had nine matrix panels running off of the matrix portal s3 they were working great as you can see something went wrong everything is uh like uh jumbled up now because I tried adding 12 okay so I tried adding the one at the top and then that just kind of like messed everything up it does not like tile four tile three you can deal with tile four just jumbled everything up uh so I did that like five seconds before coming on kind of thing uh so yeah live demo didn't work uh I'll get it worked out for next week so those are rows of three those are rows of three correct yeah okay and they are big by 32 is that right uh the total is 192 by 128 now okay yeah that's a lot of pixels yeah yeah I don't know if you can where's the camera matrix portal s3 this is the only thing that's sending data through this entire panel and that's going from a usb cable up to idc up to the top row and then all of the sensor data is off of this bme 688 itc sensor and it's got like you know weather data and stuff in there not quite displaying correctly uh but no that was the brakes uh one question is what's the uh what are you using to power that because that's got to be drawing quite a bit of current oh yeah uh I am using two five volt 18 amp mean well psus okay and they're they have these really neat socket switches yeah with uh on off and you just plug in a pc power cord and then the other side of the pc kind of I can't like pick this whole thing up and show you it's all buried back there um but the pc power cord then goes splits off into three and then goes to a live neutral hot on the power supply and then all of the power cables get routed up into that but this is a neat way uh as a safety switch so I can turn on and off you know portions of the panels that way um and if I start smelling you know anything that's like burning because this does get pretty warm then uh you know I wanted to have a safety on off switch smart yeah well cool uh thanks for pushing the boundaries and trying to add even more right for this show I wanted to see how many maximum I could get from a matrix s3 uh from makes a portal s3 it does nine working on 12 that's really cool that is a huge display it's very impressive yes I'm gonna go up on a wall uh at some point yes that will go up on my wall um and maybe eventually run Liz's sports stuff along with the weather yeah yeah oh very cool you could probably even branch some of these to be multiple uh portals to do some data for for one lot of possibility I mean it's a huge display yeah yeah got room uh really cool thank you so much for sharing that looks thank you you have a great night thank you uh all right and uh last up we've got mark uh who was having camera problems but oh yeah we've uh we have a we have a picture in picture mark hi yeah I am back to having camera problems so I'm gonna have to do this old-fashioned way and just move my webcam over in a moment uh so speaking of weather projects I have sorry I'm gonna try not to make everyone dizzy for a moment uh finished up the enclosure for my lightning detector oh really nice yeah so it's still needs some tweaks um the I didn't account for the size of the battery in the bottom of it so the lightning bolt will hopefully be fully standing up but right now there's not room as the battery took the bottom of it and it is if I can cause it to light up uh does light up then when it detects uh lightning or your finger pressing on the antenna sometimes so yeah and I actually was able to test this out uh probably about a month ago when a storm came by and we actually had a lot of lightning I was surprised at how much you detect during a storm before that occasionally one in the distance that's the one maybe two every five ten minutes during the storm I was like oh there's like five in the last five minutes or ten and then a hundred and a hundred and fifty wow so what what is the uh what is it detecting how how are you sensing the light so it's powered by this I don't this is probably not going to focus it's a as 3995 lightning detector chip so the board I built uh now two months ago or so uh it detects at 500 kilohertz uh and that is important because apparently it used to be used for marine radio of some sort but that type of radio got decommissioned and that area spectrum was never reassigned so you don't get a lot of noise man made noise on that frequency so this specifically looks and looks for that and the chip itself looks for certain patterns so it can detect man made noise from a DC motor or your computer power supply versus actual lightning which has a slightly different distinct frequency I actually found a write-up um a write-up online that somebody did a lot of research on this chip that was very helpful in finding out how it works oh that's great so my if I'm understanding this right I'm guessing lightning throws a bunch of signal across a humongous wide range but you found this chip finds a sliver that's not going to be used by much else so that's a nice place to to focus your detection is that yeah exactly that if you're ever listening to the radio during a thunderstorm you'll hear the interference yeah um and if you've got a software defined radio or something you can see it which is where it first got my interest huh that's cool so yeah uh after redo the case once more to make everything fit then hopefully I can have it I wanted to make it portable my initial thought was then to bring it to sports games like my own sports games not professional ones and then it this all started when we were having an argument of whether the storm is too close ah okay and this chip will give you an estimate or if nothing else show you as the storm coming towards you away from you and then you can make your best judgment on that I love it I love the idea of you deciding to win this argument by developing a whole device yeah I didn't like the game getting cut short when the storm just blew past so yeah oh good for you that's fantastic yeah practical another thing to put in a weather station uh huh yeah uh I don't know how much lightning you get in uh zakistan joey but worth considering can talk to mark about that yeah no my weather station is currently on the ground broken from the wind so oh this will be in the next model okay so now I'm motivated good good yeah you've got an atom and a rebuild fantastic well thanks for sharing that mark appreciate it all right uh and that is going to do it for show and tell thank you everyone so much for coming by and sharing your stuff it's a real delight to see uh the the creative and excellent uh technical uh things you're building uh there is as I said not going to be an ask an engineer tonight they'll be back uh next wednesday so stop by for another show and tell as well as ask an engineer after that uh and uh that's going to do it i'll see you tomorrow if you want to stop on bio be doing john park's workshop at four o'clock eastern time one o'clock pacific and then we got plenty other shows so check the blog check our social media and also head on over to the discord server where we'll uh let you know when shows are coming up all right thanks everyone for a different industries i'm john park and this has been show and tell we'll see you next time bye


Snapshots from 1998. A season of greatness. On June 7th against the Marlins, David Cohn delivered his best start of the year. A complete game with 14 strikeouts and only two hits allowed. Cohn would win 20 games that season, giving him his second 20-win campaign at his first since 1988.


primary germ layers, endoderm derivatives, first the contents, formation of endoderm, formation of digestive tract from endoderm, then respiratory tract, endocrine system, auditory system, and the urinary system. First the endoderm, endoderm is actually the innermost membrane or layer of cells which is formed during the gestulation process. So endoderm is the layer of cells which is formed during the gestulation process and is the innermost position. In gestulation we know that there are three layers formed. Three layers are formed in most of the animals. The outer layer is actually the ectoderm. The lower layer is the mesoderm and the middle layer is the endoderm. When we read these general concepts, the endoderm is a digestive tract. So we are confined to the digestive tract and endoderm is formed by the endoderm. But the endoderm is not only a digestive tract but also other body organs. If we look at the body organ formed by the endoderm, that is the digestive tract. There are two portions of the digestive tract which are not synthesized by the endoderm. One is the oral cavity and the other is the mouth. This endoderm will not be formed. Similarly, the other digestive tract's end position is the anus. The anus and the oral cavity or the mouth portion are not actually found by the endoderm. The other portions are esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine. All the digestive tract portions are all synthesized by the endoderm. Apart from this, the different glands of the endoderm are formed by the endoderm. Similarly, liver and pancreas. The main vessel of the liver is the metabolic factory of our body. There are many mechanisms involved in the body. But the important role of the liver is to digest our food. So the liver is also formed by the endoderm. The formation of the liver is also endoderm. The liver contains gallbladder which is also synthesized by the endoderm. Similarly, the pancreas is also synthesized by the endoderm. The second important system is the respiratory tract. In the respiratory tract, we see different parts of the lungs. The lungs have different parts in which we track bronchi and alveoli. These are portions where they are synthesized. They are actually formed by the lungs. Then the endocrine glands. Those endocrine glands are synthesized by the endoderm. They are the thyroid, parathyroid gland, parathyroid gland, parathyroid gland, thymus and the pancreas. The pancreas and the endocrine gland are also produced by the insulin. These four important glands are actually formed during development by the endoderm. Similarly, the auditory canal. If we look at the auditory tube, which is also called auditory canal, and then the tympanic cavity. These two things, tympanic cavity and auditory canal, they are both found by the endoderm. If we look at it a little bit, the auditory tube that is going out of our ears is the auditory tube. There is a tympanic membrane. The tympanic membrane is actually in the cavity. So we give the cavity the name of the tympanic cavity. Then the urinary and genital systems. Our urinary system is the urinary bladder. The urinary bladder is the endoderm that is synthesized. This is important in formation. Endoderm is derived from this. Similarly, in females, the vagina and the urethra. So the vagina or the urethra are the portions synthesized by the endoderm. So it means that the endoderm doesn't make a digestive system, but rather it makes a body organ.


Minnesota is on its way to triple the number of people who have voted early in the state's August primary election. Figures from the Minnesota Secretary of State's office show that nearly 29,700 people had already cast their ballots by July 26th using the state's no-excuse absentee voting option. That's up from the last statewide primary back in 2016, when more than 11,800 people had voted at the same time. The first year no-excuse ballot was an option in 2014, more than 9,000 people had voted by the same date. This year's primary is still more than two weeks away on August 14th. Minnesota residents can vote in person at an early voting center or via no-excuse absentee ballot by mail, at least 46 days before the election.

I'm Cheryl Hung and it is magical to be back for my 11th KubeCon cloud native con. What excites me and keeps me coming back is seeing people discover cloud native for the first time, grow their careers and transform into community and industry leaders who then bring on the next generation of cloud natives. Going virtual has expanded KubeCon to people who could never have dreamed of attending previously. So whether this is your first KubeCon or your veteran, you're welcome.  Along with virtual events, COVID has accelerated everything cloud native. Over 80 projects now call CNCF home and there's almost a thousand cloud native tools and frameworks on the CNCF landscape. Organizations are pushing the possibilities of where and how to deploy containers and Kubernetes but to fully embrace cloud native you're going to have to understand what's possible and what are the challenges you're going to face along the way. I lead to the CNCF end user community. It's the largest end user community of any open source foundation or standards body with over 140 members. So I have a pretty unique view into how engineers solve thousands of problems across hundreds of different environments. Today I'm going to reveal these insights from the CNCF end user community to you so you're equipped for your cloud native journey. Each year the CNCF end user community votes to award one member the CNCF top end user award. Previous winners included Zalando, Inturitz, Bloomberg, JD.com and Didi. This year I'm not only announcing the winner but I've invited all of the nominees to share their cloud native journey with you and what the community means to them. But before we find out the winner I want us to have a little bit of fun kubecom style. I'm going to challenge you to solve a small problem in the style of the CKS or certified kubernetes security specialist exam. At the end I'll reveal the solution and that solution will reveal the winner of the CNCF top end user 2021. So I'm going to go over to the laptop. If you've taken the CKA, CKAD or CKS certifications this is going to look really familiar. So I'm in the Linux Foundation exam portal. On the left hand side I have the task that we're going to do today and on the right hand side I have a terminal which links to a live cluster. First off let's just take a quick look at the cluster itself which I'm going to do with a quick get nodes. This looks like a really tiny cluster just a master and a single worker and then our task is in three parts. So the first task is to retrieve the content of the existing secret named credentials in the demo namespace and I'm going to do that just to look at that. Cool okay I've seen that we have a credential secret and credentials encodes the name of the winner of the top end user award. So when we find out the solution to this we'll also find out the winner of the award itself. Our second part is to store the winner field and the password field into these two files creating them as we go along and then the third part is to use secret and decrypt one from the other. I'm going to pause there and I'm going to ask you what would you do in this situation. So head over to Slack discuss it with other people and we'll find out the solution at the end okay. Time to bring on our nominees to introduce themselves. We have one-on-one mail-in media Apple, CERN, Fidelity, Spotify and Verizon Media Hello KubeCon and CloudNativeCon.

Our mission is to unlock the potential of human creativity by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it. Hi I'm Mujibu Ha from Verizon Media. As a Verizon Media group our brands like Yahoo, Tecrunch, Riot and many more help people stay informed and entertained communicate and transact while creating new ways for our advertisers and partners to connect with. With technologies like XR, AI, machine learning and 5G we are transforming media for tomorrow too. All right first off tell me why and how you're using cloud native. One-on-one Made in Media's cloud native journey started in 2017 with our first small Kubernetes cluster. Since then the environment has grown to 16 clusters running on nearly 1,000 bare metal servers. This sums up to 55,000 usable CPU cores and 280 terabytes of RAM. The clusters are managed and operated centrally by a dedicated and highly skilled team of specialists. Access to the Kubernetes clusters is provided by a multi-tenancy setup. This provides easy but still isolated on-demand provisioning, dynamic autoscaling and efficient usage of available resources. The tight integration with our CI-CD system makes Kubernetes an attractive default platform for running our applications. This relieves the application DevOps teams from tedious and repetitive tasks so they can fully focus on providing business value instead. The core elements of our platform are CNCF projects like Kubernetes, HCD, container D, Prometheus and Open Policy Agent, Core DNS, Helm and Fluent D. And from the surrounding ecosystem we happily use traffic, Istio, Flatcar Linux, Calico, GitLab and Grafana. Apple was using Mesos but decided to transition to Kubernetes for scalability reasons. Our users are Java, Python and Go developers who want to test and run their applications and containers and are interested in Kubernetes as part of their CI-CD pipeline. We use a large number of CNCF projects, Kubernetes, container D, Envoy, Prometheus, Kubevert, at CD, Cryo, Opa, Core DNS, Jager, Falco and Helm. Our users want to adopt cloud-native tools for better debugging, logging, monitoring and tracing of our applications. One of our main challenges is to make sure that we can keep up with the needs of our physicists as they produce larger and larger experiments. This means that we are always searching for new technologies and Kubernetes and the cloud-native ecosystem and projects like Kubernetes but also Prometheus, Core DNS, Fluent D, container D and many others have made a huge impact by simplifying our infrastructure and letting us focus on the physics analysis itself. CNCF is allowing us to collaborate and to help building this unique solution. It did shape the strategy for fidelity and for multi-cloud strategy for all of our application workloads, between using Kubernetes, between the innovation ideas around Envoy and service mesh, between the open-to-limitry solutions that are being provided by CNCF. It did shape our strategy to build the foundation for the next generation of the financial service platform building site for that. On Kubernetes we are operating on 150 clusters running over 2,800 services across all stages of our software life cycle. We have multi-tenant clusters running many different types of workloads including ML jobs, media transcoding, data pipeline orchestration and high-scale backend services. Using Kubernetes has significantly reduced our cost and increased our overall velocity. We also use a number of other CNCF projects such as Prometheus for monitoring and Argo Rollouts for automated canary analysis and branch deployments. With the growing portfolio of media brands, we had n number of stack managed by n number of team. Each team doing their own tools and platforms and none of them were containerized. Additionally, we had our own in-house on-prem homegrown solution of pushing and deploying code. It was very, very painful and took a long time. When we decided to move towards immutable infrastructure and containerization, we evaluated a number of orchestration solutions and we picked Kubernetes which was outstanding for its futures. Today we have one of the largest Kubernetes on-prem cluster with over 2500 plus applications, 34 plus production clusters, running in seven data centers and 8000 plus node cluster. By moving service into container and using Kubernetes as an orchestration platform, it helped us to reduce duplication, standardize the way we build and deploy code today and also increased our cluster utilization and to add increased our product velocity and developer productivity. Next, what does the community mean to you? Melon Media joined the CNCF in the beginning of 2020 as an end user supporter. Since then, we are regularly participating at the bi-weekly community meetings, usually with at least two people. In this meeting series, we already had multiple opportunities to share our experience and knowledge in short presentations and of course we regularly engage in the discussions. Additionally, we host local meetups and also speak at conferences like DevOpsCon, Container Days in Hamburg and of course also at CubeCon, where we could enter the stage in 2019 in Barcelona and at least virtually last year. On the more technical side, we also involve ourselves in many products we use, at least by reporting issues we find or adding more data to existing bug reports. Occasionally, we can also contribute by fixing smaller bugs ourselves. Apple joined the CNCF in 2019 as an end user supporter. We actively participate as speakers and attendees at community events like CubeCon and even shared our story in a keynote at CubeCon North America last year. Apple employees serve on committees and boards throughout the project, including the CNCF governing board, TOC, steering committee and release team. We regularly participate in SIGs and employ a number of maintainers and core contributors to CNCF projects. Apple employees such as Paris Pittman and myself have received the Chalkwood and Careywater awards for our contributions to the community. So thank you very much, CNCF. It's been a very, very exciting journey until now, working with everyone with all the projects and the rest of the community and we are really, really looking forward to what's coming next and to continue working together with everyone. In the past year, we contributed two projects to the Office House community, Kiran and KConnect. We truly believe that all of them is going to help the community's board and will help them security and the governance side of the house. I believe that with that focus and with that support and with that cross promotion between CNCF and Fidelity, we are sponsoring many bug groups at this moment and workshops and we're helping our colleagues in other financial services and in other services as a matter of fact to help the CNCF strategy next year. And to help with the role map around Kubernetes and about other projects that CNCF has. I truly believe it's all space and it will help Fidelity as it will help the community as well. Our flagship contribution in 2020 was Backstage, which is our open source development portal. And the response from the community has been nothing short of extraordinary. In terms of adoption, we have 24 official company adopters, 79 companies are building a portal, 209 companies are interested in learning more and these numbers are growing rapidly. We have 302 Git clones per week and 313 external contributors. And the project is adding six new contributors every week. We've been contributing to almost all of the CNCF projects that we use, whether it's documentation, issues, code, or speaking about them at various conferences and meetups. Most notably, we've been actively contributing code to Envoy, where one of our engineers is a core contributor. We've also done extensive work with GRPC and Kubernetes where we've helped resolve numerous issues that we faced during adoption with the community at large. Beyond coder projects, we've also been very active. We have Spotify employees wearing many different hats across the CNCF, including one of the co-chairs of the developer experience in the end user community and one of the end user representatives on the CNCF TOC. But it's not just hats that we wear for CNCF. We wear lots of other swag too, including ambassador crowns, program committee pins, and of course, the endless amount of great t-shirts for different roles that we have for CNCF. We've also given many talks at KubeCon, including multiple keynotes and as many as six talks in San Diego. And we've done lots and lots of different podcasts representing CNCF technologies. There are many reasons we love being part of a CNCF end user community. As a company, giving back to the open source community has always been very important to us. We have made upstream Kubernetes contribution in the form of issues and pull requests specifically for Envoy and OPA. We also open source several Kubernetes focused projects. We also built an open source, a certificate based authentication and authorization system, ATENTS, to implement zero trust security principle in the platform. We are very excited that ATENTS is now part of the CNCF sandbox project and we are looking forward to build a great community around it. It's actually incredible to see how Cloud Native has transformed these organizations and what these teams have achieved. So huge thank you to you for sharing your stories. Let's go back to the laptop now, find out the solution and the winner for the top end user award 2021. Okay, so we were at the point of storing the winner and the password field into these two files. So let's take a closer look at that credential secret. And yeah, it looks like there is a password and a winner field here. So I'm going to take this and just echo it into these two files that I was told to. So I just got the winner one and I will do the same for password now. And then our third step was to use secrets to decrypt the winner field. And they've just given the entire command here. So what happens if I try this? Okay, looks like we screwed up somewhere because the key doesn't match. But the key doesn't match because we forgot that Kubernetes secrets are base 64 encoded already by default, which means that there are actually two layers of encryption to deal with here. We have to decrypt the base 64 and then we also have to decrypt with the password. But we can fix this. So let's go back to where we put the winner field into the seek into winner dot text. And we're going to just decrypt it before it goes in. Okay, now let's try decrypting using secret. And that's looking pretty good. So we should be able to find out the name of our winner. And it's Spotify. So congratulations to Spotify. Congratulations to you two if you were following along. And if you got the solution, Spotify have been an amazing member of our community. They've contributed so much through the projects, through donating their own project, through the TOC and the different community groups. And I'd really like to thank them and welcome them back on again to say a few words. Wow, I can't believe we won. Thank you so much. Thanks to all the end user companies that voted for us. And thanks to all the companies that submitted nominations, we were truly humbled and really inspired to read the other nominations and still really can't believe that we won out over them. Thanks again to everyone at CNCF and everyone in this community at Spotify. We're going to build on this and try to do even more with this community in next year. Thanks again, everyone. Congratulations to Spotify once again. Your award is on its way. And to sum up, Cloud Native is still accelerating. The board members are getting bigger and more complex. But with the help of the community, you too can take charge of your own Cloud Native journey. If you want even more insights, go to cncf.io slash end user and find out why your organization should join the CNCF end user community. This is Xiaohuang and I can't wait for you to show me what you can do.


Good morning folks. Steve Rhodes coming July from a very pleasant and sunny Delray Beach, Florida. That's your 11 name update. We've got a sea of green every sector with inside the S&P 500 trading the upside every industry that you and I track trading the upside as well. Dallas up 413 points about one and a quarter percent same for the S&P, which is 55 points, one of three tents for the NASDAQ cut her 97 points. One and a half percent for the Russell. That's a 27 point move. One and six cents for the semis. That's a 57 point move there. The trainees there 457 points. That's a 3% move. That's a big move. Gold is off 10 bucks. About a half a percent. About a half percent for silver or 14 cents. Let's be crewed down 70 cents. That's about eight tenths percent. National gas of 16 pennies. That's a 5% move to the downside. Not looking great there. 30 or treasuries off one point and nine ticks. He's printed out at 111 17. Let's figure out what all that means by looking at that nine panel market update chart. We begin the upper left hand corner. The ES minute. What do we know? Well, we know what price is targeting the top of its daily profile. There's a new daily profile that did form resistance there is at the 44 30 level. Particularly the spot. Politics still above its 50 day exponential moving average that always presents potential problems for the bulls out there. Watch that 1629 level. That's the 50 day exponential moving average level. The N Q also formed a new profile that was much different than what we looked at on Friday morning. This is a wide profile. It is bearish in structure. The top of the profiles at 15 468 slightly below the prior profile. The bottom of the profile are supporters at 14 676. That is below the prior profile as well. That tells us about a trend that is to the downside. Doesn't mean that resistance can't fail. Just tells us about from a profile standpoint. A downward trend out there. Price is trading into the cell zone. This is also a bearish structure daily profile. The center at 15 204 15468 again is the top. That is your cell zone. US dollar index also attempting to form a new bearish structure daily profile. The top of that is at 106 56. The bottom is at 105 57 seems pretty solid at this stage here. It's continues to pop up. I've been able to knock it get it off and restart it. So it looks like a pretty solid bearish structure daily profile. Now that tells us that a price close below 106 28 today. That's the center of that bearish structure profile. We should see the US dollar index move back to 105 57. If we see that odds would favor. We see a further rally in gold with price making its way up to 1952. Silver trying to make its way to 23 92 folks if you're if you're. Thanks much for join us as always. Please stay tuned for the Trader said show but it's up to start your Monday. Please have a magnificent one. We'll look forward to speaking with you again soon. Take care now.


Today I want to share how I made my first $100,000 online. I'm also going to share a three step process that you can use to replicate this and make your first or next $100,000 online as well. Now I've been a full-time entrepreneur for about six years now. I've generated millions in online sales between my business and client businesses but there's really something special about that first $100,000 that you see in your bank account and it's strictly from an online business. So it was definitely a special moment for me. And so I want to share that with you and I want to share how I did that. Now this is not some passive income story. This takes work, it takes a lot of effort, it takes perseverance over a long period of time. So if you're expecting some kind of passive income trick to make $100,000 tomorrow, this is not going to be yet. But if you're willing to put in the work and you're willing to actually go out and get after it, this is totally possible for you to do as well. So let's dive in to how I made my first $100,000 with an online business and how you can do the same right now. Now quick backstory, back in 2016 I had a nine to five as a project manager. It was making about 75K a year, but I did not like the job. I hated it, I hated going into work every day. I wasn't a fan of the team and the people I was working with. And I just knew it wasn't a long-term thing. I wasn't going to last there and I just wasn't built for a nine to five job, especially at that place at the company I was at. So while I was at that job, I would take a portion of my salary and use it to fund my online business. My first successful online business was actually an e-commerce business where I was selling physical products. The first product I sold was an Amazon FBA product. I had to buy 10,000 units up front. It actually sold out and it was a knockoff of a Yeti tumbler. And Yeti's a very well-known brand. You can type it into Amazon and Google. You can find the different products that they have. But I have a couple of the products here. These are my first products I ever sold. And so the brand was called Blizzard and it got a small version too. And this was my first ever online business, e-commerce business that was profitable. So I sold about 10,000 units of these tumblers but the problem was I had to put a lot of money down upfront and I had to wait two to three months for that inventory to ship to Amazon and be ready to be sold. So in the middle of those two to three months, I was just twiddling my thumbs and just waiting for the inventory to come. And I didn't like that. I did like the e-commerce industry though. I liked finding and selling physical products to people and making them happy. And so I wanted to stay in this industry and I found out about a model called Dropshipping. Dropshipping is e-commerce. You're still selling physical products but it was great because I didn't need to carry any inventory. I could find a product. I could be selling it within a few hours and be making sales and my supplier would ship the product directly to my customer. I didn't need to buy 10,000 units upfront. So my only job was the marketing and sales portion. I would go out, create some advertising, sell the product and my supplier would ship it out to my customer as soon as an order came in. So I really liked the Dropshipping model and I started my first store and it was in the fashion niche and specifically the steampunk niche. So steampunk, if you Google steampunk, you will see it's used in movies like Mad Max, people wear that type of gear to festivals like EDC and Coachella. So very popular and very niche fashion. I didn't know anything about it. I just knew that there was a large group of people who wanted and wore that type of stuff. So really what my job was, was to go out and find these steampunk suppliers who were selling steampunk products. I would list it on my store and then I would advertise it using Facebook ads to people who were into steampunk. Once somebody saw the ad and bought my product, my supplier would ship it directly out to my customer. So I didn't ever have to carry any inventory. In just over one month, I went from zero dollars, a brand new store, to doing over $60,000 a month selling these steampunk products and gear. Within three months, I was doing over $100,000 a month with this steampunk store and I was able to leave my job after I hit that. I probably could have left earlier, but that's the time that I left. This was September, 2016 and I had a store that was doing over $100,000 a month when I quit. Now after I left my job, I started two more stores also in the fashion niche and at the highest point, these three stores were taking in over $250,000 a month across these three stores. All fashion stores, all selling products that I wasn't personally into, I just knew that there was a hungry market for it. So this business, this e-commerce or in this case, this dropshipping business made me my first $100,000 and actually a lot more than that where cash in the bank, I'm looking at it, it's in my account $100,000 plus strictly from this online business. Now it's a lot harder to start a dropshipping business the way that I did it back in the day because there was a lot less competition and a lot less people knew about the model, but you can still apply some of the lessons that I used to build this business to $100,000 a month plus and you can apply this to any business. So I wanna share those three steps with you right now to make your first $100,000 or next $100,000 online. So the first step to replicate what I did is to pick a niche. A niche is a group of people with shared characteristics who have a problem you can solve or who wanna achieve a certain result. For me, it was steampunk lovers. Now the problem that they had was that they couldn't find steampunk gear easily online. So I didn't know much about steampunk but I knew just from doing a little bit of research that it was hard to find steampunk clothing and gear and glasses and jewelry. And so I was solving a problem where it was hard to find this stuff online and I became one of the biggest steampunk stores online that could help them solve that problem. So with this steampunk group, I had a niche of hungry potential buyers who were looking for a product but they didn't have a solution. They didn't have a place to buy it from. So that's step one. Pick a niche, a hungry niche who has a problem that you can solve or this group of people has something that they want to achieve. Step two is to craft a delicious offer. You've picked a niche, you've chosen a problem that you want to help them solve and now you have to put together an offer that solves that problem. For my steampunk niche, my offer was to give them a central place where they could find a goldmine of different steampunk products and gear. So it became their go-to spot for buying all things steampunk. It was difficult to find these products anywhere else so my store became that irresistible or that tasty delicious offer for them because now they could go to one place and get everything they need in one place. It was actually pretty funny because I used to go to music festivals like Coachella and I would see people there wearing my products, wearing the sunglasses I was selling and the watches I was selling. And so at one point I went to Coachella in 2018 and I saw hundreds, if not thousands of people wearing the products that I was selling on my store which was pretty awesome. Step three is to get traffic to your offer. Traffic in its simplest terms means people seeing your stuff. There are free traffic methods which means you're not paying any money to get traffic but it does take a bit more time and effort. And then there are paid traffic methods which means you are paying money to speed up the process but the downside is you are paying money. Now for this particular business, the steampunk e-commerce business, I just went straight into Facebook ads. And so that's a paid traffic method I was paying for ads based on Facebook to show my products to people who are interested in steampunk. But nowadays with how powerful social media is I would highly recommend you start with free organic methods first to validate that people want your offer and once it's selling then you can speed it up with paid traffic methods like Facebook ads or YouTube ads or any type of ads where you're paying for. I think paid traffic methods are best once you've already proven that your offer is selling and you just wanna add some fuel to the fire. So now you know how I made my first $100,000 online. I also gave you a simple three step process I went through to do this so that you can generate your first or next $100,000 online with your business as well. And now I wanna give you some actual valid business ideas that you can start for $100 or less to get your income up to get your money up in 2023 and beyond. So there's gonna be a link somewhere around this video on five online business ideas that you can start for $100 or less and these are business models that are great to start right now. So click the link to watch apply these three steps that you learn in this video to whatever business model you choose and you'll be on your way to your first or next $100,000 online as well. Now if you enjoyed this video don't forget to hit the like and subscribe button and I'll see you in the next video. Take it easy.


If you see, it put in a lower high from yesterday. So even though there was a buyer for two days in a row, it's still put in a lower high from yesterday's channel. The key is, and this is kind of what I've been watching for yesterday, when we talked about yesterday, when we talked about this again right now, the key is once this buyer gets cleaned up, and we don't know who it is, we don't care who it is. But if this buyer gets cleaned up and starts taking down the channel, you can see the 60 minute view, right? Again, excuse the e-single as a bad tick. But if it starts getting below this bottom channel here, again folks, they were coming for the 150s, the 155s. We saw the 145s for summertime expiration. There's definitely, definitely put buyers coming into this name. So we're watching for the final cleanup to the next couple of days. So maybe that doesn't happen. But in case it does happen, and they do clean up that buyer and they do clean up and they finally confirm the bottom of the range here, I do believe there will be a next leg down.
