Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to Unisor Education. I would like to talk about potential energy and kinetic energy as well in one particular case when some object is just falling on the earth from space. Now this lecture is part of the course called Physics for Teens presented on Unisor.com. This is the website. On this site you will find not only this course but also course of mathematics called Math for Teens. And also there are some civics related courses, not by myself, basically by another person. Now the prerequisites for Physics for Teens is Math for Teens, especially you have to be familiar with calculus and vector algebra. I do suggest you to refresh these parts of the Math for Teens course if you don't really feel comfortable. Okay, so now also if you found this lecture somewhere on YouTube or anywhere else, this will be only the lecture. In case of Unisor.com you will have the complete course and every lecture actually supplemented with very detailed notes, including this one of course. And also there are exams for those who want to challenge themselves. Now the site is completely free, there are no advertising, even logging in is not necessary, although if you would like to save your exams and make sure that somebody else like your parents or supervisors see the exams, the results, etc. and supervise your process of learning, then you probably have to just establish a sign-in and use it. All right, so we are talking about potential energy and in particular I'm talking about, in this case, if this is the Earth and somewhere in space I have an object which is falling down to Earth. Now I consider this object to be far enough, so the gravity actually is changing. I mean, if the object is somewhere near the surface of the Earth we usually consider that the gravity is constant. In this case I don't. In this case I would like actually to apply the full force of universal gravity law to this particular problem. So I will try to find out what exactly is the potential energy and kinetic energy of the object which is falling. Now so let's consider the radius of the Earth is r. The initial position is capital H, so it's H above the ground. All right, now I assume that this is the beginning of the motion, so the initial speed is zero and we just let it go and the object falls down onto the Earth. So the mass of the Earth is m, the mass of the object is lowercase m and now we can actually start. So I assume that at a certain moment there is a height H of this object as it falls down, where H obviously is changing from capital H to zero. And I would like to establish what is my potential and later on kinetic energy at this particular point H for whatever, for any value of H between H and zero, between capital H and zero. Okay, now in this particular case we have obviously the only force which is acting on this object is the gravity. And the universal law of gravity tells us that the force is equal to the gravitational constant. It's directly proportional to each mass, mass and mass, and inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of the mass. Now the centers are at this distance. Inversely proportional I meant to say to the square of the distance, right? This is the universal law of gravity. r plus H is exactly the distance between the center of Earth and the center of this object. Well, object obviously is assumed to be a physically very small material point. So we know the force. Okay, now what is the potential energy of the object which is at point lowercase H above the ground? Well, that's basically the work which the force of gravity performs as it pulls the object down to the surface of the Earth. Now we know the general formula for the work which is force times the distance, right? But that's in case we know the force and its constant during the whole distance. In this case the force is not constant. The force is changing and we have to do it slightly differently. And what's the way how people, what's the way how we approach this? Obviously through integration. So we are dividing this whole segment into infinitesimal segments, right? Each one of them has lengths of DH differential of H, right? Now on during this distance DH my force can be assumed as constant and equal to this one. And now what we have to really do, we have to integrate it from H is equal to capital H to zero. Now what is slightly more convenient for me is I will just put X is equal to R plus H, DX is equal to DH, obviously. So I will put X here. Now I have a little bit simpler X square. Now if H is equal to capital H, my X is equal to R plus H. And if H is equal to zero, my capital, my X is equal to capital R. Okay, so that would be a better choice. Now if I will integrate this, which means I will just summarize all these infinitesimal things, well don't forget that 1 over X is equal to minus 1 over X square. So the derivative of the 1 over X is equal to minus 1 over X square. And we have exactly this type of thing. This is 1 over X square with a sign obviously. So I can use my indefinite integral from 1 over X square as 1 X, 1 over X. So my total integral would be g m m.  Right? That would be my integral. Well, except, I'm sorry, I'm not integrating to capital H. I'm integrating to lowercase H. So that would be lowercase H. And that would be lowercase H. So at the point where H, lowercase H is equal to 0, which means on the surface I will have 1 over R minus 1 over R which is 0. So potential energy at this point is equal to 0 because the object is already lying on the ground. Now if the object is on the capital H distance in the very, very beginning of my motion, of my falling down to Earth, it will be 1 over R minus 1 over R plus capital H. So this is basically it for potential energy. Now if, by the way, my position, my position H is very, very far, so this is like infinity, 1 divided by infinity, then my potential energy would be GMM divided by capital R. So this is like a maximum. Obviously, if the object starts at motion further away, the potential energy would be greater, but anyway, it's not really infinitely growing potential energy. It has the limit. Limit is GMM divided by R. So it's asymptotically moving to this particular value. So this is all for potential energy. Now just one very small comment. If, so let's consider what's the potential energy at the very beginning. At the very beginning it would be GMM 1 over R minus 1 over R plus capital H. Now what if this H is really small relative to the radius? Now you know that if I will use the common denominator, it would be this. R plus H. It would be R plus H minus R, which is H, which is H, right? And the problem is that approximately R times R plus H, if H is really very, very small relatively to R, this is almost like R square, almost. Approximately, obviously. And this thing is something which we know as the G, free fall acceleration on Earth. This is mass of the Earth. This is radius of the Earth. And this is universal constant. And in which case our potential energy is equal to what? M times G times H, which is the typical kind of expression for potential energy of the object at the height H, because Mg is weight. So that's basically the force which we consider to be constant when the height is really small relative to the radius of the Earth. So that's just a side consideration which basically proves that this formula is the result of this more complex formula with the height very, very small relatively to the radius of the Earth. Now, let's just remember this formula. Let me put it somewhere else.  Now, this is potential energy at the height lowercase H above the ground. Now, what I would like to do next is I would like to talk about kinetic energy. Now, what is kinetic energy of the falling object? So again, I assume that we start motion at the very beginning at the height H from the ground. And we just let this particular object go with zero initial velocity towards the Earth, right? Okay, fine. Now, our kinetic energy, so this is my potential, EP. Now, my kinetic energy, this is basically MV square divided by 2, right? Well, the problem is obviously V because V is variable and it's a variable speed and it's not the variable speed with constant acceleration. Acceleration is also a variable because the force is variable, it depends on the H, right? Since the force is variable, acceleration is variable, so it's a little bit more complicated here. Okay, so here is the way how I suggest to do this type of thing. What do we know? We know the force. If we know the force, we basically know the acceleration. So, let's put acceleration, it's equal to force divided by acceleration is equal to force divided by mass, right? Because mass times acceleration gives me force. At any time, it doesn't matter that A is variable and F is variable, M is constant actually. But at any given time, whatever the variables are, this equation is the second law of Newton, right? So, there is no problem with this. So, in this particular case, I can say that A is equal to F divided by M, which is GM divided by R plus H square, right? Okay, the acceleration is going this way. So, I might as well put a minus sign here, right? Just to show that because we are talking about this is zero and this is a capital H, so when our variable lowercase h is moving, this is the positive direction. But since acceleration goes this way and force is going this way, so this is negative. In theory, I have to really put this minus here as well. So, this is basically an absolute variable of F. All right, anyway. Next. So, I know this. Now, what is acceleration? Acceleration is the second derivative of the distance by time. But we need speed. Speed is the first derivative. How can I get from the second derivative to the first derivative? Well, here I am applying a little trick because in theory, in theory, I need not just the second derivative, I need second derivative square, right? Speed is, I mean, the first derivative, sorry, the first derivative square. I have a second derivative, but I need the first derivative square. So, here's how I approach this. So, let's have, if H is a function of time, that's my distance basically, right? So, I can say that this is h second derivative of time is equal to minus gm divided by r plus h square. Well, h is function of time. Let me put it here as well, h of time. Now, I will do something very, very artificial. It's a trick, if you wish. I will multiply it by two h first derivative of time and here. Now, why did I do it? Well, for a very simple reason. What is a derivative of this? This is the speed, right? The first derivative. What is derivative of the speed, sorry, derivative of the speed square? We need the square. It's equal to 2 h times derivative of the inner function, which is the second derivative. You see this? The first derivative of the square of the speed is 2 times the speed times acceleration just according to the normal rules of differentiation, right? Same thing as derivative of 2, sorry, derivative of x square of t derivative is 2x of t times x derivative of t, right? I mean, that's normal differentiation. And this is exactly what I have here. So, on the left, I have my first derivative square and derivative. You know what? Instead of this, I will put d by dt, okay? So, d by dt, which is differential by time of the first derivative square is equal to 2 times whatever under the square and whatever the inner derivative of the inner function. And now on the right, what I have. You see, it's a trick, but it gives me a lot. Now, what is the derivative of 1r plus h of t? What is derivative of 1 over this expression? It's equal to derivative of 1 over something, it's minus 1 over something square times derivative of the inner function, which is h, derivative of h by t, which is here. You see, everything is here. Such a nice trick. So, instead of this, I can write d by dt of gm and then 1 over r plus h of t. This is very fortunate that I was able, by this artificial trick, by multiplying, by the way, there is a 2 here as well. I forgot the 2. I multiply by 2h prime and 2h prime here. So, I need 2 here. All right. Now, if my two derivatives are the same, it means my functions are different only by constant, right? So, let me write out this thing. And I can write that my functions without derivative differ by constant. Some constant. Now, where can I get this constant? Well, very simple reason. First of all, when t is equal to 0, I know that h of t is equal to h, capital H, right? In the beginning, I'm in this position and my first derivative is equal to 0. So, if I will substitute 0 here, I will have h prime of 0, which is 0, equals to 2gm r plus h of 0 is h plus c. So, what my c is equal to? Well, my c is equal to, right? So, I can write it here as m minus. You know what I do? I will put 2 here and I open the parenthesis, put 1 here, minus 1 over r plus capital H. Okay, almost done. Now, m times square of the speed divided by 2. So, I will multiply by m divided by 2. So, I will have m times h, h of t square divided by 2 equals 2. Divide by 2, it will be gm m 1 over r plus h minus 1 r plus capital H. Well, this is h of t, of course. Now, that's great. So, this is an expression of my kinetic energy. And now, well, the climax point, what is the climax point? E, full mechanical energy is equal to kinetic energy plus potential energy, right? Which is gm m here and here. And what will be in the parenthesis? r plus lower case h and minus r plus lower case h. So, what left is 1 over r minus 1 over r plus h equals constant. It's not dependent on lower case h. So, on any position during this fall, my total energy, my full mechanical energy is constant. My potential energy is going down. My kinetic energy is going up. Now, potential energy goes down because the height goes down, right? The h goes down, which means this is getting bigger. So, we subtract bigger and bigger, right? So, the whole thing becomes smaller and smaller. Kinetic energy, h becomes smaller, then this component becomes greater. So, my kinetic energy is growing. So, potential energy is going down. Kinetic energy goes up, but their sum, full mechanical energy, is remaining the same. Now, if you remember in the previous lecture about the spring, I also came up with the same conclusion. So, whenever something is moving, potential and kinetic energy are changing, obviously, but the total sum of them, the full mechanical energy, remains constant. Obviously, this is a particular case of the general law of conservation of energy, which we will talk about. But in this case, we have two very distinct cases of full mechanical energy to be constant, whatever the movement is. So, the system, if it's a closed system, there are no outside influences, has certain amount of mechanical energy and it does not change, no matter how we have all these components of the system are moving. I'm actually making right now much more general statement than I have actually physically proven. But anyway, this is the principle, the conservation of energy is a principle which cannot be proven in all the possible cases, but whatever the theory allows us and whatever the practical measuring allow us, that principle actually is held. So, this is the quintessential part of this particular lecture. We came up with the potential, kinetic energy and the full energy, which is constant. All right. So, I do recommend you to read the notes for this lecture on Unisor.com. It will probably help you just to digest this material a little bit better. Well, that's it for today. Thank you very much and good luck.


I got all the x-rays and then I've basically put that on the outside so you can see where these screws are. It took me three years to work up the courage to ask us to do a portrait of it and then when I did and it came off so well I did a second one similar to that and then just went on from there.


When we first launched, we were fully bootstrapped. I started Curie with $12,000 of my savings. I even, I think I sold all my crypto for our first production run. Before the winter storm. So that's good. I know, I know, I hope. I mean, Bitcoin had a good run if you got in early enough. Yeah, I got in early and I sold that, I sold it and started my own company with it. But,


Over the centuries, we've seen a growth in the number of domains in which humans fight. Anywhere where they can fight, they do fight. And we just beat each other up in the land. And then the next thing that happens is we start to conquer the seas and we have boats and all this kind of stuff and we're shooting each other from boats. But boats were boats and land was land. But eventually, the ships became complex enough that they required a lot of land support. Look at the first joint domain operation that occurs in 1178 B.C. in the Nile River Delta. Ramses III is up against a pretty sophisticated, ruthless federation of tribes known as the Sea Peoples. He knows that he can't defeat them at sea, so what he does is he lures them into the Nile River Delta, closes off their route of aggress with his sea forces, and then uses land archers to go ahead and annihilate the force. Significance of that is not that he used two domains, but the significance is that he used combinations of domains. Over time, it's gone land and then sea and then air. And that was, you know, just 100 years ago, right? And then shortly thereafter, space, and all of a sudden cyberspace. And not only have we had a really rapid increase in the number of domains in which we can fight, but we've also had a greater level of connectedness between those things. And so whereas before you could just be superior in one domain or the other, and that's how you would conquer the enemy, the level of connectedness allows kind of this asymmetry where you can attack from one to the other much more readily. So what we have is an evolution of access to technology that gives us access to domains. And so the complexity has increased and JADO revolves around complexity, speed, and precision. It turns out airplanes aren't bell cranks and pulleys anymore, right? They're flying computers. And so if you have a cyber advantage, you can have an asymmetric outsized effect against an airplane. And so that's what JADO's all about is understanding and leveraging not only the vulnerabilities on our side, but for the enemy, it becomes very difficult to defend against all those different potential options, this dilemma of do I defend against this or this because they have constrained resources. But in order to do that, you have to have this kind of larger scope and you can't be stove piped and siloed in such a way as to be only on one domain or the other. And it's up to us to go ahead and figure out a construct that works to go ahead and pursue operations in a pretty sophisticated manner.


Every year on the 4th of February, the world turns its attention to cancer. It's one of the main causes of deaths worldwide. Developing countries are worst affected. It's estimated that by 2030 over two-thirds of all cancer related deaths will occur in these parts of the world. The IAEA is doing everything it can to address this crisis. Our focus is on making radiotherapy and nuclear medicine more widely available. To mark World Cancer Day 2017, the IAEA organized a panel discussion on the global inequalities in access to cancer treatment. The event highlighted the role the agency plays in helping countries establish and expand cancer care programs. IAEA's cancer activities have undoubtedly saved many lives, but to be frank, we are only scratching the surface. A great deal more needs to be done. From Vienna, Austria, this is Alexandra Anapanich reporting for the IAEA.


So how can we actually find the value of a definite integral? For that, we'll try and figure out what properties this definite integral has. So since we've learned how to differentiate, let's find the derivative of the definite integral. So for that, we'll need to define it as a function. So let capital F of x be the definite integral from 0 to x of f of t dt. So it'll be helpful to consider this geometrically. Capital F of x represents the area under the graph of y equals f of t above the t axis from t equals 0 to t equals x. Now if we don't make any assumptions about what f of t looks like, the problem becomes very complicated. So to begin our analysis, we'll assume that f of t is increasing. And so this region might look something like this. Now if we want to find the derivative of capital F of x, we need to use the definition of the derivative. And so we're looking for the limit as h goes to 0 of this difference quotient. Well let's consider the geometry. F of capital X plus h is the area under the curve out to t equals x plus h. So this difference f of x plus h minus f of x represents this sliver of area between t equals x and t equals x plus h. Well let's try to bound this area. Because we assume that f of t is increasing, this sliver of area is going to be larger than the left rectangle, but smaller than the right rectangle. But we know these two areas. The left rectangle has height f of x and width h. So its area is going to be f of x times h. Meanwhile, the dimensions of the right rectangle are height f of x plus h and width h, which gives us an area of f of x plus h times h. Now we can do a little bit of algebra and our difference quotient is bounded between f of x and f of x plus h. Well since we want to take the limit as h goes to 0 and we have trapped our difference quotient in between two functions, we can apply the sandwich theorem. So as h goes to 0, the limit as h goes to 0 of f of x is going to be f of x. And as h goes to 0, the limit as h goes to 0 of f of x plus h is going to be f of x. And so this difference quotient also goes to f of x. What's important to recognize is nothing important changes as f of t is decreasing. And if f of t is sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing, we can split it up into parts that are increasing and parts that are decreasing. Or can we? Again, that's a topic for a later course. This gives us the following important result. Provided certain conditions are met, let capital f of x be the integral from 0 to x of some function. Then the derivative of capital f of x is going to be the same as the integrand f of x. And so now we're ready to find some definite integrals. Let's find the definite integral from 0 to x of 2t dt. Our fundamental theorem says that if capital f of x is this integral, then the derivative is going to be the integrand where we use x instead of t. And so our derivative is going to be 2x, which means that capital f of x is going to be x squared plus c. What's c? In order to find c, we need to calibrate our function. Well, we're at luck because f of 0 is going to be 0. And that's because f of 0 is going to be the integral from 0 to 0 of something. And our theorem says that if our beginning and ending points are the same, the definite integral is 0. And so we can evaluate f of 0 and find c. And we find that c is equal to 0. So that gives us our definite integral is equal to x squared. How about the integral from 0 to x of sine t? So again, by the fundamental theorem, I know that the derivative is going to be the integrand. So f prime of x is going to be sine of x. And so f of x is minus cosine x plus c. And once again, we know that f of 0 is 0, so we can calibrate and find c, which turns out to be equal to 1, and that gives us our definite integral.


All right, folks, welcome on back here this Tuesday, October 12th, shortly after 2.30 PM Eastern time. Welcome on back for our afternoon meeting. Great to see Norman. Great to see Felix, who just cleaned up with me just before in the NTRB stock here. Great to see Wendy, Bobby, all of us otherwise live inside the trading room. And of course, if you're joining us back on social media today, Facebook Live or YouTube, YouTube Live or Facebook, I never get that name right, welcome on back. Now, I can kind of take my sweet time here today. We don't have class. I'm actually free at 3 o'clock. So we'll kind of just go over a couple of the big moves that we ended up catching from earlier today. Obviously, the NTRB stock on the screen still to start. Right now, this stock just broke below a big support level. I lined up exactly off $11.35 to go over this move in full from head to toe, because I really didn't have the chance to do that inside our live workshop earlier today, the Traders Talk Workshop. We were covering the ANY trade, the Prague trade, the PROG, well, to go over the stock briefly, right? I mean, hey, it was dropping off leading into the market open. It wasn't exactly trending upwards from 8.30 or from 9 o'clock at least to 9.30. So for as much as it was up in pre-market, we saw a big drop. And then from there, what ended up bottoming out right off 9.50, I mean, it really kind of just slipped under and over from 9.50, it seems. And from that point, ended up making its first big spike up. And well, the thing is on this trade is that it ended up getting halted not just once, but twice. So we ended up seeing, and pardon a bunch of the lines here. I'll explain them in a moment. But 10.70 was the opening bell print this morning at 9.30. We ended up seeing a pretty big transaction on the time and sales program at $10.70. It was about a $64,000 share print. Well, as the stock began to break over that price, it ended up moving up so much so fast so quick, it ended up getting halted, a circuit breaker halt for the stock. So by the time it reopened up, that was shortly around 10 o'clock, 10.04 Eastern time. Well, that print that came out when a stock reopens up off a halt, and we're going to do a workshop on this coming up pretty shortly for all of our gold platinum diamond C2 students, at least. But in terms of following a stock after it reopens up from a halt, very similar to how you follow a stock after the market opens up. You can see an opening halt print to a great degree. And you know what? I just said before, I can kind of take my sweet time today, so I'll bring up good ol' Level 4 here for right now. And you can see that we ended up having a $150,000 share print filled at $11.35, $11.35. So for that reason, I was calling that price out as a major level later on, I mean, just earlier. So I stepped away from this stock for quite a while. After that run up, which I wasn't a part of, ended up crashing back down. We had our Traders Talk workshop anyway from 11 to 12, anyway, Eastern time. So I stepped away, even after that point, I just kind of came back and it was already halted on the way up again. It ended up breaking above $10.70, obviously $11. $11.35, and well, a new halt. So by the time this stock reopened up off the next halt, well, we ended up seeing that big opening halt print this time, it was a $93,000 share print filled exactly at $12.00. So hence you could see the three yellow lines in my chart, 12, $11.35, $10.70. So when this came down, I was saying like, hey, I missed the whole pop and halt to begin with, but that's not the end of the move, folks. I mean, now at this point, obviously, it began to break lower. So right now I'm a little more hesitant on it now. We'll see if this could slingshot back up over that price. But for the first time it came back down to $11.35, I was streaming that out as a support. I listed all the support levels at least as it was pulling back and I started with $11.35. So once it broke under and back over $11.35, I ended up jumping in myself and Felix, one of our students here. He ended up getting 60 cents on the trade. He got out at $11.98. So I ended up scaling out.  Now, I got a little lucky. I don't want to say lucky, but I closed this trade out right before. I mean, right before this thing just crashed. I mean, we'll give it maybe a couple of minutes here on the one minute chart where I got out at $11.75. But if it's not going to break higher folks, I mean, I kind of noticed it shortly prior to me pressing close. I was like, oh no, this was a false breakout here. It held 12 perfectly. If it's not going to break higher, we know what's going to happen to the stock. It's not as if this thing's like figure skating doing a triple axle back flip. Stocks go from, or the chart goes from left to right and stocks go up and down. Really, we just got to keep it simple in that regard. But yeah, for right now, the NTRB, the stock just broke below that support level 11.35. I would anticipate for it to drop off more. So I'll come back to this at the end if it ends up making a big pop. I would love to put this back on our main list, but with the type of selling here, I'm not so sure about it right now. All right, so aside from the NTRB, of course this monster of a stock here, the GWH trade, we ended up seeing this stock pop shortly after the market opened up. And for this also, I'll do a pretty similar review. I wish I had more time in the trader stock workshop earlier today to go over both of these. But it's to say that at least once the market opened up for GWH, it's not to say you're expecting the pop instantaneously, but it's just a matter of reacting to it once that happens. So is it going to pull back and just totally dump off and crash? Obviously it didn't. But it's to say when the market opened up, our big opening halt print on this trade, or opening bell print rather, opening bell print, it was exactly at $16.50. It was a 220 plus thousand share print on the tape. Let me just mark this one up also while I'm at it. Well, I don't know if you just saw that. I'm going to zoom in. You could see how well 1650 held this support here, right? So that's where this thing ended up beginning to base its runoff of the 1650 opening bell print. Drop down there after 10 o'clock or right around there, broke under, over, and the rest is history. So folks, if you ever want to study a move, why did a stock like GWH go from 13 all the way to 29 or 28? Well, it's easy to say that it moved up that much, and oh, what if I jumped in from the very opening bell? It's not that cut and dry. It's not that easy, folks. And even this, obviously it ended up holding perfectly. It easily could have just continued to dump off, but otherwise, for such a big volume level at the market open, that big 220,000 share print on the tape, you got to respect that. You got to acknowledge that at least. So this is where it ended up making a huge 12 point plus move for right now. This stock seems to just be pretty choppy for right now. So again, kind of like the other one, the NTRB, I'm not as keen to just put it on our main list yet. The thing about this stock is that it's breaking all-time highs. So that would be the reason as to why I would be more interested in it, but I'll tell you what, folks, we'll just go from top to bottom. Now we have a couple of other moves that are near the highs. Check back in on the RRD trade at least here. This is also one from the morning that we ended up doing pretty well on. Little choppy, but ended up making a nice trend up off the lows once the market opened, you could see here. So it ended up bottoming out right around 612, 613, that's the low, ended up beginning its push from there. So probably made a similar move in regards to breaking over its opening bell print. And if not that, then simply put, once it broke above $6.50, that's where this thing ended up beginning to make a nicer move up. So for what it's worth right now, this stock just seems a little choppier than compared to what it was doing in the morning, albeit it broke a new HOD now, it had pulled back down here. So I'll put it on our list. I wish that the stock was moving a little bit faster in the sense of making a stronger, more volume-based pop. But we'll see if we could do that here with just about an hour and 20 minutes left. So I'll slip this one on the main list so far, the RRD trade, and then otherwise, if this thing fails to break higher or even from here, perhaps, if it begins to break below a local support level, stock is shortable. So I was actually looking for that earlier today. I didn't trade it short, but I was looking for it. I ended up jumping back to the OCGN, so I took my attention off this trade. And then it started to push up higher, so I'm pretty happy.  Right now at this at the highs, that's my initial direction, but what if, right? What if this fails to break higher? What if it makes a false breakout again? And perhaps that could be the opportunity to try and short it after that point. So no, just food for thought. Ooh, this one looks really good. NRXP, get all these stocks mixed up, folks. So between NTXP and RXP, NTRB, yadda, yadda, yadda. Yeah, so this one, we ended up trading. You could just really see from the huge volume spike days that we had back in the beginning or middle of July into August, ended up making this huge run on this day here, ended up popping from like, was this 10 bucks, eight bucks? 11.67, it opened up at, made a drop down to 11.06 and then hit a high of 18.28. So I know what's to say. If this stock can make a fraction of the type of move that it made dating back to mid-July, early August, how could we not follow this trade? So definitely the NRXP, this will probably be at the top of the list by the end of it all, this one looks great. It's unless if OCGN looks better because I got my guy Skip here in the chat or typing in OCGN, I was gonna get to that. Of course, the stock that's kind of a fan favorite here inside the trading room, myself included perhaps, but yeah, breaking a new high right now, this one looking just as good. Major resistance, you would assume, and it shows on level three. You could see that on the far right side of my screen. 85 plus thousand share iceberg order on the ask, so I'm gonna slip this right under the NRXP, but this one looks really good still. Cool, let's keep the good times moving here folks. Good times rolling. BBIG, this one ended up, as you could see, ended up making a really nice pop and run up from earlier today. Just for right now, it's in this tight range. I'd probably say the same on the others that we've been trading alongside the BBIG, ATER, which hasn't really done anything. And then the A and Y trade totally dumped off too, so those two seem to be moving together. The BBIG, I don't know if there was news that came out on this stock. Definitely a good sideless stock, at least this one. So keep it in mind for tomorrow. I don't think it's gonna make a big pop today. If it does, then we'll call it out, but definitely come tomorrow morning. I'll at least check it out going on there. Look at MGM up a sneaky near 10%. Did they make the deal with DraftKings yet? There is a rumor going around with MGM online getting bought out by DraftKings. That would be pretty interesting in terms of the sports betting world. I'm not a degenerate gambler, folks. I just got my ear to the polls. I risked my money here in the market, not necessarily out there on games. But I knew that that was a rumor going around for a little while. Looks like, nah, nothing to do with the DraftKings rumor, but it's to say that CreditSwiss ended up upgrading it, raised the price target from 33 to 68. So that's a pretty good reason as to why this MGM trade is moving up really well right now. I mean, we're not expecting it to at 68, but that's a pretty bold price target. And perhaps you could see, dating back from damn year 2005, stock ended up testing major monthly resistance right off of like 47-ish, right around 47-ish around here. So for right now, it's above it. It's smooth sailing above it for right now. So you know what, a little more expensive, but MGM too, this one looks pretty nice. All right, let's keep it going. Switch back to my daily chart right now.  I guess you could rather just say very range-bound, decent list so far. This little WWR trade, we're also pretty familiar with, dating back to the end of September, October of last year even, and then popped up going back into the beginning of this one. For right now, not really a fan of this just yet, and a big volume spike, but nothing to show for it so far. Medea, not much going on there. All right, we'll hop over to the loser side here today, folks, let's see if there's anything on that side, looking just as good, if not better. RVNC down 25 plus, ooh, this thing's getting drilled. Geez. All right, go to good old Benzinga Pro, just out of curiosity to see why this stock is getting slaughtered right now. There's no news report from Benzinga Pro yet, at least from today. There was a news report out from early yesterday morning at 8.30 Eastern time. RVNC announces launch of their Opal platform, I have no idea what that is. Looks like the first of its kind, relational commerce platform that combines seamless, simple, and smart payment solutions. Sounds interesting, but that was from yesterday morning. So there's no update as to why this stock's getting so beat up right now. If anyone has the snippet otherwise, let me know. But we'll add this to the main list at least here. It's definitely more of a level four to level five stock, just given how thin the order book is, but pretty interesting. All right, former runner or at least gap up from yesterday, if I'm not mistaken, the PTGX shortable here today ended up dropping off. My focus and our focus collectively wasn't really on this trade. So hey, if you ended up shorting this after the open, looks like a pretty nice drop off, a little shaky here and there, but held steady off the highs. It's just about it folks. I think that's all I got here for us so far today. Grom very spotty right now. Riot ended up already making a balance. We'll talk crypto tomorrow. Bitcoin took a little bit of a drop today expected, but I think that we'll get the slingshot very soon from now. Quick little tip because I will probably mention this at some point in the next few weeks or months as we continue to follow Bitcoin in terms of the blockchain stocks or the Bitcoin mining affiliated stocks, rather Riot, Mara, BT, BT, the others perhaps, but more so like Riot and the ones that we're more used to. When we see these stocks down in the mid afternoon, like 10%, 12%, more perhaps, go back to what I had said when stocks like these that are at the highs of the day, they never really continue in their true direction. So if a stock like Riot or BT, BT, Mara, et cetera are down significantly, 10, 12 plus percent and it's like one o'clock, two o'clock, don't throw a dart on the wall and hope it lands. Playa strategy and you're likely going to end up being on the right side of the trade. I wish I held on to this trade BT, BT, but I plucked out a quick 22 cents on this stock earlier today right from the 1050 level. It broke down a little bit more than that but once it ended up breaking over it, it took a while but ended up making a nice little retracement there. So that's something that I've learned at least over the many years of following these stocks let alone Bitcoin. All right, so folks, let me know if there's anything else up down left, right, more than 5% that you would want me to check out. I think that that's all I got. That NTRB trade, I hate to say it, that thing just does not look good now. If it ends up breaking back over 35, 1135 that is, we'll call it out obviously but I just, I'm not as inclined to believe it yet. So we'll see. latest has Scott CCJ testing the high of the day. It's up 13%, wow, I don't know if I ended up skipping over this or overlooked it or if it was climbing up as I was going from top to bottom. But yeah, now at this point, definitely the stock was up like 2% earlier today. It felt like, or no, 3%, maybe I was wrong with that. But now it's a lot more and hopefully now with where it's at, this can make for an even cleaner trade or bigger pop heading into the close. So I'll put it on our list, good call. And again, I'm not gonna try and jinx it by saying this but if it ends up breaking a trend line, breaking the support, you know the deal. Just like I said on RRD and it happens more often than maybe a couple of us think you're joining us on Facebook Live or YouTube to anticipate a short or for the stock to crap out or reverse, go the other way. Happens probably more often than you think. But folks, that's all I got so far inside the live trading room. Let's see, from YouTube, got P-Trader, Spy, very Rangy today. He says GWH had a big move today but now it seems done, I agree. And then he says most EV stocks are up today. Yeah, that's right. So let's go back to Nikola, the stock that we did call out from the morning. Lo and behold. Here we go, up nearly 8% to stock that we are really familiar with. And the reason why I'm more interested in Nikola than maybe a couple of the other EV stocks like a Neo, XPEV or whatever it may be. This stock, I'm on a monthly, but you get the point. The stock ended up exploding, going back into the beginning of 2020, completely dumped off. So perhaps over time, not to say today, but perhaps with the way it's trending right now in the one minute chart, is definitely where we want it to see it. Perhaps this could be the beginnings of a short, short squeeze, if you know what I mean. Stocks had a couple of pumps here and there over time. Crash back down, right? But like I said before, even on the NRX P-Trader, if we could even see a fraction of the type of run that that stock made back then, I'd be extremely content. All right, CodrupleU from RJF. Little slow, that's my only gripe on it, but hey, love to see the stock where it's at right now. It would be hard to put CCJ on the watch list and this not. So I'm gonna take this alongside there. I mean, both look just as good and this one's even less expensive. So all right, not a bad list folks. Actually, just I'll say the complete opposite to say that this is a really good list. This is an incredible list so far, I believe. So hopefully we'll happen to find a lot of opportunity from the eight or so stocks that we have on the watch list going into the next about 70 minutes here heading into the market close. I'll be back on the mic folks later on today for Scott, for Leda, for Norman, for all of us here live, at least in the cyber group room. I'm gonna just take a quick step back, work on some PowerPoints I've been saying all day, but nonetheless, I'll be back on as usual at least at 3.30 Eastern time to follow everything with you folks heading into the close. All right, I'll talk to you everybody then. Take care.


of everybody. I'm going to start the program. We're just excited to have Linda Ratty back. We had her be a Zoom a few years ago and the friends of the library said let's do this again for real. So Linda is accompanied by David Gibson on the piano, the keyboard here and this program, I'm Judy Byron, I didn't say that but I'm the adult program coordinator here at the library and this program is sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council and Linda is part of the Speakers Bureau and what the Vermont Humanities Council, they're about lifelong education from you know as long as you're walking and reading and hearing and whatever. Dreaming. Dreaming? Breathing. Breathing. So anyway they're about just fostering education, literacy, they do book discussions, all kinds of things and so many of our programs are part of the Vermont Humanities Council and Linda and David are part of that as well and the friends of the library whom many are interspersed, we are so grateful for their support, their right arm and they do fundraising for us, they do book sales, they do outreach and sponsor programs like this one and I just wanted to make mention there's a sign up sheet in the back that if you're interested please do sign up and you can also get our monthly newsletter if you're not already. So we're grateful for the friends for this event and I'm going to let you introduce your program because you know it better than I. I'll start with a song. There's a wave of indignation rolling round and round the land and its mission is so mighty and its mission is so grand that none but naves and cowards dare deny it's just enough. What's came your foolish notion now so great equal to your own as God ordained the judgment in your mother's and faith that true how dare you make the concerns who are. To have been in protest movements our friend Pete Seeger said if the audience, if the people know the tune half your work is done so by using that tune the suffragists create a lot of words that helped sort of convince people but if you think about the women who were in hoop skirts in 1848 you go all the way up to my costume which is 1920 you get a sense of the long progress that women and men their allies made to get the vote 19th the 19th amendment you know because nobody gives a power without a fight and I knew that but this program is called from the parlor to the polling place and I think what I've noticed is a lot of times they started with a few women gathering in their parlors talking about the inequality and then maybe going to the church basement I always think about the Wesleyan there because the Methodist church often would say sure you're part of the evelicious movement you're part of the temperance movement come here and use our space because we believe in equal representation and of course the next step would be the town hall which was which was frightening to women they hadn't had any experience in public speaking well unless you were a quaker then you were allowed to speak and after the town hall it was the state legislature and then of course eventually they had to go to Washington to change it so I really like to look at how people changed their tactics through the years from Elizabeth Kinney Stanton all the way to Alice Paul here's a song from the early days it's from the Civil War 1863 so the first convention for women's rights was held in my hometown Seneca Falls New York 1948 to go and visit if you can and after a while women would gather together just in their own homes most farmhouses had a piano or a nasty organ or something and they could buy the sheet music and sing it at home so this you can see the covers are so wonderful the sheet music but it was written for a specific singer with no name Mrs. John Wood that was really a problem for me doing this research because none of the women had names so eventually if there's like a couple of adjectives or something I can figure it out but it has a kind of militant tone kind of a feminist tone and I think maybe it wasn't meant for people to gather together I think it was maybe made for the women itself and it reminds me a lot of Gilbert and Sullivan and it has a great title I will speak my mind if I die for it Men tell us to spit for wives to submit to their husbands submissively weekly and whatever they say their wives should obey unquestioningly stupidly meekly our husbands would force us their own dictum take without ever aware for or wife for it but I don't and I can't and I don't and I shan't know I will speak my mind if I die for it I'll fudge to say men's the best judge of what should be and shouldn't and so on that woman should bound or attempt to say how she considers matters should go on I never yet gave up myself as a slave however my husband might try for it for I can't and I won't and I don't and I can't and I will speak my mind but the husbands to cope with the rights of the sex will not trifle we all if we choose our tongues but to use can all opposition soon stifle bid us be still and silent a price you pay high for it for we won't and we can't and we don't and we shan't let us all speak I said friends of the library and Judy Byron I'd like to thank Skip Flanders from the Waterbury Historical Society he did a lot of research about women in Waterbury and he found a petition for many years for Mount Women would go to the State House with a petition signed by thousands asking for the right to vote and of course it was always turned down but it was fun for me to see the Waterbury list I'll put it up there later a lot of the names I know from today and when they signed it it was often initials K.E. Henry she was married to Luther Henry but her name was Catherine Boyce so it's hard to do this research but there were about 12 people who vote who signed this petition in 1870 that's really early times and eight of them are buried right here in Hope Cemetery I noticed only one of them actually lived long enough to vote in 1921 so there was many many decades of work and I noticed too that a lot of the signers were the wives of ministers of business owners of doctors people were sort of prominent in the community and that often happened with power in the small towns it changed later on so here is a dedication to Miss Collie, Miss Elizabeth Collie she was a prominent socialist, socialist, suffragist maybe she came after an education at Bates College to teach at the Baptist Seminary which later on ran at the Green Mountain Cemetery so you know that building, Seminary and during the summer to make a living she rented those homes to tourists and Miss Collie got to vote she died in 1925 so this song is giving the ballot to the mothers and I think the argument here is we respect our mothers how can we insult them by not allowing them the privilege of citizenship and the final song I'll sing has the same tune but with a different atmosphere about it and this was a lot of times they used to tune everybody new this was the Civil War tune that you could hear at rallies because I think mother has a lot of emotional baggage to it and it's really a good way to argue that mothers deserve to be citizens Bring the good ol' bugle boys and sing another song Sing it with a spirit that will start the cause along Sing it where they ought to sing it cheerily and strong Giving the ballot to the mothers Spirit shall be free Mountain to the boys and see it to the wind Mothers, wives and daughters, let it shelter and defend Equorites and mottoes, we're loyal to thee So we sing this chorus from the mountain to the sea Interesting to look at our town halls and see how many women showed up to take the Freemans out in 1919 hoping to vote in a national election Vermont was not one of the first three-quarters votes for the 19th Amendment but we had to wait until the federal government told us to and there's a story about that but this next one is a comic story and the idea is that if men don't support this it's going to happen so you'll need our support later on and there was a governor named Percival Clement who was an anti-suffrage man he was also part of a very powerful liquor lobby so as you can imagine a lot of the women were also involved in the temperance and other social reforms so he really opposed it and at the end of the term he refused to hold a special session to vote on it so we didn't make it into the first 19 I'm going to dedicate this to Ms. Nellie Chase from Waterbury She was a graduate of Bates College and she was mentored by Ms. Colley at Green Mountain Cemetery and after she graduated she went to New Hampshire and she became the president of the New Hampshire Suffrage Association I'm going to play both parts here The Unenlightened Man and the Woman It's called Winning the Vote It's a barbell song I've been down to Boston Boys to see the folks in sights Dear me, I heard such fuss and noise about these women's rights Not as plain as my old coat as plain as plain can be that when you women bought the vote they'll get no help from me Not from Joe, not from Joe and he knows that not from Joseph No, no, no, not from Joe Not from me, I tell you so Here's the woman Joseph tell me something new I'm tired of that old song We'll sew your seams and cook the meals To vote won't take us long We will help clean house The one too large for man to clean alone The state and nation, don't you see when we the vote have won Yes, we will and you'll help For you'll need our help, friend Joseph Yes, you will for your own So you better help us win Or just write a blind event And there had seen it The taxes you must pay Without a word of fuss You are prompted to the heart of it Without a note Here Joe, we'll together soon be voters Yes, we will, if we'll all Vote yes at the polls next fall Strategy's there to convince the men And one that really worked was the idea of taxation without representation At that point women could inherit property They could run businesses They could sometimes vote in municipal elections Or for the school board or the library board But certainly not in the important elections And so that was an important argument they did And you notice that the woman is saying We'll still clean your house We'll still sew your seams But that was called enlarged housekeeping That was a really important debate topic Which is the role of women Is it in the home, the angel, the hearth The woman who's in charge of the men's And the children's spiritual development Certainly being in charge of food And clean health and clean water So they used that And they said all we're asking for Is enlarged housekeeping So that we will take care of the wider home That you men have messed up And we'll start to do our normal tasks Which is to clean house And so I'd like to dedicate this To Lucy Daniels Let's see, where is she? Anyway, she's up here She was really radical because she decided Not to take her husband's name Her husband was also a suffragist So she went by Lucy Blackwell Sorry, Lucy Stone And when she tried to vote They said no, because we don't have your name Your name needs to be your husband's They were called the stoners That's all they wanted on them And then the other person I want to talk about Is Lucy Daniels over here She was from Grafton, Vermont And she inherited a huge property And thought she should vote Because she was paying property taxes And she refused And went down to Washington, DC And actually picketed the White House At the end, like 1919 And the town fathers in Grafton Actually took away some of her land Because she hadn't paid her property tax So she was ready She was ready to start to protest And again, a woman of some means Who could do that And she was missed So she didn't have children to take care of And it's interesting because they When she came back, they were horrible things About her in the paper They actually put something on the side of her barn And what she was due According to people who knew her Is she'd walk around town And she'd give 50 cents to all the young women The young girls that she saw And said, you start going to town meeting Because when you grow up You're going to be able to vote And you need to know how that works So that's Miss Lucy Daniels So this is a patriotic tune A lot of suffrage lyrics to it But I picked, I think the best one And there's also a sheet music cover That's called Uncle Sam's Wedding That were men and women When Uncle Sam set up this house He welcomed every brother But in the space of his new life He quite forgot his mother Now his house is up at arms A house where people find him To sweep and dust and set to rights The tangles all around him Uncle Sam is long in years And he is growing wiser He can say trial's a mistake To have no misadvisor Dad never got the reins In looking over their shoulder Shout to dear old Uncle Sam With my old man together Now we're here, dear Uncle Sam To help you in your trouble And the first thing best to do Is making you a double Yankee Doodle will be glad To join us in spreading The news abroad Or all learned of Uncle Sam's Great Wedding Pretty effective as a strategy To join with men To help clean up the world The way women clean up the home And suffragist Francis Willard And if you know Jane Adams Who worked with the poor Said that an army of women Would help to bring about clean water And clean food Because here in Vermont A lot of women who had farms Were able to ensure That their children had clean water And good food But if you lived in a tenement In Winooski You didn't have the power to do that So they were arguing for the vote To help all women have a sort of a A better life Beyond the domestic goddess That was part of our role And I think of them thinking Superhero, house cleaners And we'll go and we'll fix up everything But what happened is People like Jane Adams And other people Started to look at the folks Who didn't have any access to power Certainly the children Who were working in factories And children in so called Work farms And insane assailants Who were often said there And what this Vermont person said I love her because she's right in the middle there She looks like Mrs. Santa Claus But she was such a radical Her name was Mrs. Annette Parnelly And she was married to a man Who was also really important In the evolution of slavery And the suffrage movement So they both worked for The presence of a woman They wanted a woman on every single board Of a charity that involved women And they called her Annette the Suffragette Or Annette the Hornet Because she never gave up But she knew that in advocating for this It's good to use humor a little bit To try to convince people And so there's a broadside over here That says Equal Suffrage Association It's debating whether men Are ready for the vote And she said You know, come and look respectable Which is what women were told And she said, you know Men are too emotional to vote If you see them at a sporting event They lose their minds And if they're in a conflict with other men It often resorts to fisticuffs And women can't win that way So we're good at negotiating And therefore that's why we should have the vote She was from Ernestburg Falls And the other thing she cared about so much Is the factory conditions Of both women and children And in this next song What means these votes for women? She talks about that The joyless haunt of drudges Where children toil and die What means these votes for women? Just is the time When we were votes with free men Concerns of land and home Then snapped the ancient tether And throwing us too long And stoutly pulled together To right or grieve us wrong Shout the song Here it's no cheap, patriot free men All the right women Till the break of dawn And the women's Shout the songs of votes for women No cheap, patriot free men All the right women Till the break of dawn Women did not march in protest before this It's considered really, really a bad thing And eventually the hems went up Because you remember when I did the Civil War program At the church All the way down to the ground But all of a sudden they started dressing for moving And the one thing that's interesting to me As a Christian Is how close the Christian church Especially the Protestant church Especially the Methodist church Was involved in these social changes About the Wesleyan I wonder if they allowed the women To meet in the basement There was often a prohibition about women speaking And so men would speak And that's why we're not called suffragettes As they are in England It's suffragettes They were trying to figure out what So they started with suffragettes But when you see the parades The men were walking along the side And sometimes in the front Serves guards, the women who were Facing a lot of ridicule and worse So the Christian church uses Familiar hems to make their point But again, people on both sides Could look at the Bible They could find evidence for women's suppression Women's second rate level And they also could find evidence In the New Testament especially For women's equality So that was a big debate Which led to some divisions In the women's suffrage movement Well this one is for the suffrage movement In 1876 So if you can imagine our country Celebrating our centennial And looking toward what it will be In 2076 Of course we were there But I love this because there's this utopian Idealism that we would eventually Come up to the promise of our creed Some of you might recognize the tune It's from the Methodist Timinal I'm going to dedicate it to my grandma She's up here, Minnie Clemens In Herpimer, New York She first voted in 1921 She was 31 years old And if any of you have any stories like that Of ancestors who voted for the first time Come up and tell me later It's just really inspiring So this is a hymn 100 years hence What a change will be made In politics, morals Religion and trade In statesmen who wrangle Or ride on the things Will be altered 100 years hence Our laws then will be Uncompulsory rules Our prisons converted to National schools The pleasure of sinning It's all a- Find it 100 oppression and war Will be heard of the slave He'll leave his print on the shore Conventions will beverage Instead of speechmaking To sadness We will join the glad chorus To sing I grew up in Seneca Falls, New York As my father used to say, before women's history So if any of you have been to the National Park there It's amazing When I grew up where they had the first convention In 1848 And had the Declaration of the Rights of Women It was a laundromat And there was like a little New York state sign So it's wonderful to go there And learn about this time So Elizabeth Cady Stanton I have two pictures of her One is with her daughter Harriet Very Victorian looking And one later on where she looks Kind of like a church lady But you know, she was such a radical And there was a lot of problems in the whole group Because she believed I read the women's Bible She believed the Bible Focused on the subjugation of women And she was willing to talk about it So people like Susan B. Anthony Lucretia Mott said, shut up People don't want to hear that right now But I thought she was pretty brave to do that Because she had seven children She stayed at home And she had this legal mind That allowed her to be the writer of the movement Susan B. Anthony was the one Who went around and tried to get people involved And Lucretia Mott Who went to the first Seneca Falls convention Was interested in women's rights But the last thing they said was Women should get the vote And Lucretia Mott, who was a Quaker, said Lizzie, don't put that in They will make us look ridiculous So it wasn't time even to talk about the vote It was just talk about things like Having a say in where your child's custody goes If the marriage ends Or a say in getting property that you inherit But the liquor lobby When they started going really got involved Because there was this current of reform Especially for the temperance movement My grandma was a member of the WCTU The Women's Christian Temperance Union And I used to think it was just a church lady thing But it wasn't They saw what alcohol was doing To families, to people in poverty To everybody And so they tried to get rid of that But of course they were opposed By all the liquor lobbies Who were making a good deal of money And they knew that once women could vote It would be prohibition So I'm going to dedicate this To the prominent temperance workers Because a lot of the songs I think unfortunately Pit the women who are pure Probably white And the men from other places On an island who are drunks The Irish workers who come in They're just undesirable voters And some of these songs are awkward to listen to Because you see them sort of saying As Christian women we know we should vote But these other people shouldn't There's a really embarrassing cover Of Life Magazine over there Where it shows a woman in a white gown In a parasol And the title is Four Voters And she's not one of them And the other voters are a gang member A black person And a drunken Irishman So that was part of their argument So Lucy Stone The woman who didn't change her name When she got married said It's easier to see a drunkard Than a principal So here in this next song The drunkard of course is an Irishman And they were talking about Christian women And Gog and Magog I had to look it up It's from the Old Testament And they were bad people apparently And they used a Scottish tune That you recognize called Going to the Poles If the men should see The women going to the Poles To put down the liquor traffic Needed vex their souls If we're angels as they tell us Then we won't suppose that all When going to the Poles We love our boys, our household joys We love our girls as well The love, love we cannot have The pit that we dare rebuild No discharge we've questioned women From the war with sin At the Poles with Gog and Magog So let's start fight to begin Since we Bible marching mortars Didn't fright us all Our girls as well A little bit about that big wave of immigration Which included my ancestors from Poland That made women worry About all these foreigners And should they be able to vote Or should undesirable people Like poor people be allowed to vote So that was a big issue I mean suffrage was something that Elizabeth Cady Stanton, my hero, Thought about but her daughter Harriet When she grew up she started working In New York City and she saw the immigrants They're working in horrible conditions And she thought that they can't make Any choices for their children's Purity of water or food or anything So she worked with unions there And what happened later on is that Black women started to understand that After the 1911 triangle shirt waste fire Women were locked in and they left to their death So they had a lot of debates about that And it ended up with both sides And they split into two which is really awful So the other thing I wanted to talk about Is when women were working For the abolition of slavery Black people to vote And so when that final thing came up After the Civil War Women were not included So they worked so hard And black men were getting the right to vote And they were not And that again led to a split in the People because they felt betrayed That they'd worked so hard But on the other hand people like Wendell Phillips who's another one of my heroes And abolitionists said the country could not Accept that much change at one time This is the Negro's hour Later on will be the women's hour And of course that took decades and decades This next song again has two people Debating suffrage and again Talking about the drunk man Who says he can vote And his women know their place I have a neighbor one of those Not very hard to He'll never change his mind I asked him what are women's rights His answer stames me Keep woman in her sphere I saw a man in tattered garb Wattered all his cash for drink And starved his wife at home I asked him should not women vote He answered with a smear I've taught my wife to know her place Keep woman in her sphere Choosing our sphere The early suffragists used the idea of Our sphere is the home We're just expanding it a little bit To do some housekeeping for the rest of the country Or for the poor people But this is saying women can choose their sphere And that was pretty radical Stanton actually went so far as to say That maternity itself should be voluntary And of course everybody went nuts And of course that's still in our world today And that was way before Margaret Sanger But the one thing I wanted to tell you about Is that it's awkward and it's nuanced But it's not as complicated Because women at the beginning were of some means They were able to travel perhaps They might have had help with the children at home Or with housekeeping And that's part of the movement at the beginning And there's a certain racism and xenophobia That's connected with that So I wanted to go back to New York City One of the reasons New York State got Suffer much before Vermont Is they had a lot of immigrants in New York City They had a lot of people who joined the unions And despite some opposition Because of cultural opposition to voting They got there faster And so this is a song that I'm going to dedicate To Ernestine Rose She was a Jew, she grew up in Poland Started a rabbi And she came to America for freedom But found that she could not own property So she started working on that Not necessarily voting But she worked with these women But then at one point she said Look, I was raised a Jew, but I'm an atheist And they said, be quiet There are a lot of church ladies in this group Be quiet But I'm really grateful that I found this song In the Library of Congress A lot of songs were written in the languages Of the workers, so this one's in Yiddish And to get the translation, I asked He's a representative from Vermont Who was brought up knowing Yiddish And it was sung in Bodville by Bessie Tomaszewski She was the queen of Yiddish theater And you can tell by this moment It's okay to be a suffragist You're not considered an ugly woman Who could never get a man Which is the way it started in the beginning So it's funny And then later on her grandchild Changed his name And I said Tomaszewski He became Tomasz And he's the conductor Michael Tilson Tomasz So here we go Anybody know Yiddish? Oh, good I'm trying my best, but it sounds like Yiddish It sounds like German The story here is that she's saying If we get the vote, we can take over the world And she said, women will have men have the babies So we can keep our flat stomachs And women can be the police And on every corner, when they arrest a man They'll let him go if he kisses them three times So it's basically taking the whole suffrage movement And having some light-hearted fun about it Well, the early ladies I talked about Were very gentile, but finally Being gentile only takes you so far And so Carrie Chapman, Kat, and others Like Alice Paul took more of a radical view Of how to get the change And so they saw that there was violent suppression Of the vote for African-Americans And poll taxes So they started looking at voter equality Which is still with us today They started to march, these huge marches 3,000 women in 1911, 1912, 10,000 marchers Again, with men helping to keep the peace And this was amazing Before President Wilson was inaugurated He was not a supporter of suffrage They had 250,000 onlookers And it was violence from the crowd But it was time to really make some Make some noise about this And Wilson, it was a southerner He was a state's wife man He was very conservative But finally he sort of drank the Kool-Aid Because during World War I Women stepped up into so much work They were ambulance drivers, they were helpers And they said, how can we not consider them citizens So finally, Kerry Chapman-Cat and Alice Paul She was trained in England Which is much more radical than that They decided to actually pick at the White House That was not done before, certainly not by women And you can see them, they were called the silent sentinels And they got beaten, they got taken to jail Some of them were force fed When I went on hunger strikes And people like one of the webs From the Shelburne family She went to Washington to hold a sign And what they were saying was Look, it's World War I, we're fighting for democracy Why is there not democracy at home? And one of the signs that really made people mad was Kaiser Wilson, how long must we wait for liberty? So it got pretty ugly And again, they almost got the 19th Amendment They needed one more vote Did they go to Vermont? No Did they go to Connecticut? No They went to Tennessee And first I thought, that's sort of strange But there's a great book called The Women's Hour It reads like a thriller, really What their argument was, it's embarrassing But they said, you know, with Jim Crow We can still let our white women vote We can clearly out-vote any black people Who managed to sneak through So it was one of those things, you know They had a reason, but they were national And they were at this famous hotel And the women, Sherri Kappman-Kapp And Alice Paul were downstairs The men from the legislature, they're all men Went upstairs to talk to the anti-suffrage men And it was called the Jack Daniels Suite Even though it was prohibition And they came down wearing their red roses Which indicated you were against women's suffrage And the women in the floor tried to convince them And it went back and forth It's amazing how they were working on one vote Maybe not, maybe one vote Finally, this one man who was the youngest legislator In the Tennessee legislature He stood up, he decided he was against women's suffrage He got a telegram from his mother He was a suffragist And she said, a boy should listen to his mother Please change your vote, and he did He did, so it did pass And then women got the vote in 1920-1921 in Vermont And there was only one woman from that early Seneca Falls Convention Who actually was alive then So all these women had worked all their lives But didn't get to do it And she was Charlotte Woodard She was an 18-year-old Quaker girl Who sewed gloves for a living She was from Globbersville, New York And she went with her friends And signed that declaration And then became an activist in Philadelphia Where a lot of the Quakers worked So when they were arguing for this They were smart not to use the union songs From the Civil War So this next one, they use a Confederate song You might recognize it It's called Bonnie Blue Flag And the idea is that Alice Paul would So a star on this big banner That she would put down whenever a state Said yes to the 19th Amendment And so this is the final battle Which they won There is a band of women And two are men are born Emerging from the darkness past And looking toward the morn Their mothers labored waited Through a night without a star The morning shoulder Suffered flag that bears the woman's star Her eye that bears the woman's star This band is all reforming War shall meet and pen The sword shall rust We'll use the brain the pen Layed in with precious freight now Thunders our progress car The headlight weighs our suffrage flag That bears the woman's star Her eye that bears the woman's star Her eye In 1920, 10 million women voted Three women for every five men Including Eleanor Roosevelt Against women's suffrage initially And the first lady who was Edith Wilson And my grandmother, many claimants And in Vermont it was 10,000 strong And they were able to boot the governor Who was against suffrage in part of the liquor lobby His name was Percival Clements And who came in is James Hartness Who's down here, he's a pro-suffrage man He was an industrialist from Springfield He actually hired women during the Civil War He paid them the same as men So that's a story I want to make sure It wasn't just women working But the story isn't over, you know that So it's hard won, but it's not done And I didn't know this until COVID Where I got to read a lot Native Americans were given the vote in 1948 There was a court case And finally, Utah was holding out And they finally got to give them the franchise 1962, it's astounding to me And then Chinese Americans We know a little bit about that story They got it in 1946 after the war And Japanese Americans in 1952 The year I was born And of course we know they're still Barriaged to voting all around the country So I think it's good for the final song To think about that range of strategies And that range of people who tried to work For justice in their communities In their parlors, in their state houses And Washington And it finally won, but it was 72 years And after this presentation, please come up I'll be up here and look at some of these Women, especially the Vermonters And some of the posters that we had Here in Vermont But this is the last song that comes From the same Tin Pan Alley company That published Gershwin So you hear that they was playing Something that's a little more Bodeo Do 1920s And also, there's a poster over here That said the type has changed At the beginning, the suffragists Where you looked as women with warts Who couldn't get a man And they were ugly And then the one on the right It's like she's fashionable She's sexy, she's independent So it's sort of neat the way It's changed over 72 years And became part of our culture But this also, like the first song Looks at motherhood But it's the best title She's good enough to be your baby's mother And she's good enough to vote with you It's greater than his mother He loves her love who guided To bear your troubles for you And if your tears were falling today Nobody else Men plunge this world in war Will hear her say Stop all your men We started with the battle Him and the Republic So many words over the years And I found a couple verses That are just charming Because it goes beyond What it used to be Which is when women can vote There will be no war There will be no inequity And of course we know Women vote all kinds of ways So this sort of talks about that And I'm going to ask you to join along With the very famous chorus Which is Glory, Glory, Hallelujah Because Pete Singer says The concert is not over Till the audience sings It's the right of every woman To walk out her path in life To be a saint and soldier Or a true and loving wife To fill the joy with gladness And recall the world from strife As she goes marching It's her right to serve her nation In its every hour of need Her right to sit in judgment On her country's faith and creed And show the world her courage by so much It's her right to train her children In the home and in the school To help in framing statutes And determine who shall rule And like man to cast her ballot For a statesman or a fool Thank you. Stay afterwards. We have some ladies tea. You don't have to wear your hats. But it's wonderful. And also come on up and talk to me About your stories if you haven't. Thank you so much.


They have specialty chairs. Kyle DiNorfio goes behind the backs with a goal! DiNorfio, the crafty finish! Literally described as crafty, and I would agree.


Okay, we're back here live at Velocity Conference. This is SiliconANGLE.com's theCUBE, our flagship program. We'll go out to the events, extract a signal from the noise. SiliconANGLE, an independent media company. Partnering with O'Reilly Media to bring theCUBE to all their events. And one of the most exciting things about theCUBE is we get to talk to all the alpha geeks, the entrepreneurs, the developers, the CEOs of startups and big companies, but also people who are domain experts. And our next guest is Nicole Sullivan for Twitter handle, Stubbornella, at Stubbornella. So I just tweeted on theCUBE, at theCUBE. You can get that Twitter handle there. You just gave a talk. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. So theCUBE is where we kind of have good casual chat. So, and the Twitter sphere is watching. So when I ask you, what do you think, what did you think about your talk and how it went over? I thought it went over really well. A bunch of people came up in the end and had lots of questions. I feel like good questions is a good judge of whether a talk worked or not. So yeah, I got hard questions. If you get mobbed at the end, and you know, I was kind of like, ah. Mobbed and I think I'm a little bit wrong. I feel like I've done my job correctly. Otherwise there's no interaction, you know. I always said, if you say the sun's going to set in the east, you're going to have someone say it's wrong and that's the internet. But one of the things we've been talking about, Nicole, I want to get your perspective up because, you know, David, and Valente who was here yesterday, he and I were commenting on the wrap up yesterday that this is not a cloud show. This is not a web show. It's not a UI show. It's kind of an intersection of all. So you've got the dev ops piece, the web ops, which Facebook, Google, and the big web scale companies have done and had to build their own stuff. You have essentially this middle kind of software optimization perspective. And then you have the UI design, all kind of interacting. So the common theme yesterday was it's a holistic systems design, thinking about the user experience with the trade-offs of infrastructure. So with that, you know, your talk is more on the CSS side, that's the front end. So, you know, what is the front end, state of the market for the front end? I mean, honestly, we all know mobile's great Facebook announcing video today. And so obviously the user experience is number one. But what's happening? What are the key trends that you're seeing around the user experience, the tools, the languages? Well, I think at first it's really funny what you said because I spoke once to a database conference, which I'm not sure why they had me. I think I was there for like, you know, we should have some diverse perspectives.  And they're like, what? No, but it's true. So I think that in terms of performance, the UI really makes a pretty big difference. The trade-offs, I mean, the database guys are thinking, wait a minute, I'm going to serve, you know, out of cash or solid state or flash. I'm done. Hey guys, take it over, but you're saying. Well, especially for big companies, you know, so typically I do big UI refactors of larger companies or startups that have gotten to that point of success that they have to actually deal with everything they did to get there. And so when it's at that scale, you know, whether you serve 50 images or 25 or 10 makes a really big difference in terms of the overall load that you're putting on. Are you prescriptive? You walk in and saying, here's how you got to fix it. You're the doctor. You come in, just like, okay, is it surgery? I mean, the patient on the table is the UI, right? I mean, what's the conversation like? Usually there are things that they're doing really well and other things that are just not working at all. So I try to frame it in terms of taking the bits that are working well and making them play nicely together rather than having a system where different parts of the system are competing with each other.  That's great for, you know, the headlines. It's like, okay, does that mean no QA? Does that mean dev ops? And also, you know, code matters, right? You got to have good code. So what is the big thing that you're seeing in the performance side? Because startups can do agile, and that's been great for the startup community. I can put up on AWS, I can build it up, and then you get to that point where you're saying, okay, we got validation. We have to get things right now. Got some big funding, we're growing like crazy. But the rocket ship in the middle is in the air. How do you change the engine in mid-flight? Is that kind of a challenge? Well, it's very carefully is the answer to that. And there's some new trends in terms of the UI that are actually helping with that. So some of the flat design stuff has been really great for performance because generally speaking, simpler designs are faster to render. Some of, well, but on the other hand, some of the topography stuff has made it harder. So it feels like it's a push and pull most of the time. As well, responsive is an incredible opportunity to make things faster and better, but often goes the other way and you end up making things slower and clunkier. So I think it's all about realizing that some of those goals are great goals, but how we get there really matters. Yeah, we had the Etsy guy on yesterday and we had some other folks on. They said, you know, perception is reality. Perceived speed is an interesting dynamic and there's some art and science to that. What have you learned in that area? Because it is kind of an art. You kind of have, but there's also some, you know, some either math or analytics behind things. How do you look at that, that part of the game? Because page loading or app loading is pretty critical. So we always start by getting the data because if you don't have data, then you can't make any decisions. So I think that that's the biggest first thing. And people don't think of the UI that way. They don't think of it as something that they can quantify and something that they can measurably improve, but you actually can. So we start usually by going in and figuring out what went wrong and it's sort of like an autopsy for a site, I guess. Well, you know, what exactly has made things kind of get off the rails in terms of the UI? What have you seen the most in terms of use cases that made things go off the rails? There are a lot of things, but I think maybe the biggest is the perception that your views, the way your views are architected is going to match the way your UI is architected. And that's actually one of the best ways to make your UI incredibly inefficient.  Each view has its SAS file. Each, you know, each piece is very clearly organized, but it turns out you're, it's basically like taking your DB schema and trying to configure Apache with it. It doesn't work. I mean, you can, in this case, you can force it, but you end up with something. You can ship it, it looks good, it will work, but when you get to X number of views and traffic, it... It doesn't hold up.  And usually people get to the point where they can't really release features anymore, which is kind of a pain as well.  But a lot of the developers that are doing all this front-end work for stars are really good coders, and they will do that. They'll go to what they're comfortable with. They'll say, okay, here's my database scheme, I'm going to match this, it's elegant, it's linear thinking, okay, it's done, it works. And then, you know, they're successful, and then they have to kind of go, okay, we got to fix this. So the question is, what's not the rookie mistake? What is the pro mistake that people make? Because a lot of those guys, they have to then go out and budget and then hire real UI help, real surgeons, if you will, or kind of reboot the UI. So those guys are pro developers, but then UI is a whole other ballgame, so they have to then build the discipline. A lot of startups, for instance, need to do that. They don't necessarily want to go out and fund the UI teams too many, too expensive, but they'll do it themselves and then they'll get to the point where they are, okay, fix this. Uh-huh, yeah, I think that's, it's okay that that happens, right? They're trying to be successful at something, and that's- Better than going out of business? Yes, it is, right? I mean, you could invest in making the UI layer code perfect from day one, but I don't think that makes sense. I actually think it's perfectly okay to like, pivot and throw some stuff against the wall and figure it out. So for those guys, what's your advice to them?  It's good startup advice.  But to those pros, saying, hey, if you're going to do that, here's how you can think about it. Is there any advice you can share with those kind of developers? I think the biggest thing is to think in terms of components and look for your patterns. All the patterns are there. It's just hard to see them. We get wrapped up in like the day to day of wait. This feature was released by that team and they don't talk to this team and you know, the sort of team dynamics and things like that and don't realize that actually these two things visually are exactly the same thing or some one component with a subtle variation. And so I think taking a step back and seeing those patterns also invest in the UI folks. Like often people have really good UI developers that just need a little bit of investment of working with someone who's a little more senior to help them kind of level up and then they do great and they can do amazing work. It's also the backend relationships too. Like, you know, having good understanding of the backend teams too. Do you see that dynamic also play well? It seems like there are these layers and they don't know how to talk to each other, no. Yeah, yeah, I'm a backend guy. We're totally fast. It's on Redis. Now what? Hire a UI guy. That's the answer most people say. But it's not that easy. No, it's a very, very hard profile to hire for. I just hired two amazing UI developers and I feel like I was so lucky that I managed to get them. Where do you live? I live in San Francisco. So that's a hard market to hire in too. It is, yeah, it is really hard. You must have had some good convincing. What can you share with the audience out there for the Velocity Conference? What is it about here today? Because, you know, it's one of those shows where it's about to bust out into the mainstream. We're already seeing some big names here from outside the community. Looking at the web performance, obviously, there's already these big names here, but like corporate guys, the enterprise guys are starting to come in. Which is a telltale sign of explosion of growth. But it's not a cloud show. Again, it's not, hey, it's not a cloud show.  It's a different crowd. But it's a community. What would you share with the folks out there about what is Velocity? Oh, Velocity's deeply nerdy. On whatever level you're in, whether you're interested in DevOps, whether you're interested in scalability, whether you're interested in UI or performance or networking, like whatever you're into, you're going to find the deepest, nerdiest part of it here. So, yeah, I think it's great. And developers. You meet people who can just completely dig in. Yeah, yeah. The people are writing code. I was in the speaker room, I saw Theo in there writing code. People are talking in the hallways. Good hallway conversation. But again, that's the kernel community. What do you think it's going to take to move this mission up to the mainstream? Because I think that Velocity's got the right formula. They understand that the design side is really integrated with DevOps. So what DevOps did for network and ops and developers now is happening on a systems level with the UI. And you're on the UI side. So how do you see that evolving? I think it's already happened, actually. I think that ordinary UI developers are starting to talk to me about performance and they're thinking about it. And they're thinking about componentizing stuff. And they may not always know how to measure stuff. And I think that's where the folks who've been in the community a little longer can help out, is how to dig in, how to get the metrics you need, how to make decisions, because they're getting sensitized to that they should care about it. But yet, they need to know how to decide other than sort of hocus pocus rules-based stuff. We need to get people going from, I can apply these principles that you've taught me to I can think about what the next set of principles might be. And I think that's where the community really gets involved. Okay, Nicole Sullivan inside theCUBE, we got a break, we got a tight schedule because this show, we got a break early because of the breakdown here. But I want to ask you one final question and honest, what are you watching out there in the landscape of not just the velocity ecosystem of the geeks and the alpha geeks here and the nerds, but beyond as the world and society changes, we're all connected. Got the internet of things coming on. You got the iPod guy building an amazing tool for managing your utilities and so user interface is transcending just our interaction to computing devices to the home and other things. What do you see out there? What are you watching personally out in the landscape that's interesting to you? Well, honestly, I think I'm watching out to stay away from Google Glass guys. Can I admit that? All the revelations about, all the revelations about where people might be sneaking a peek into what we're up to and then having people walk around with cameras on their faces, it turns out not so cool with that. So I think that's kind of a big deal right now. Yeah. Very privacy too. Okay, this is theCUBE, we got a break, we got a tight schedule in the afternoon. This is SiliconANGLE's live coverage, Walter Wall be right back after this short break.


And away from Lagos to Imo, where the state police command has begun the enforcement of the ban on the use of police spy number plates in the state, the command spokesperson, Michael Abbottam, in a release made available to newsmen in Overy, the Imo State Capitol, says that the state commissioner of police, Mohammed Hamid Abadi, has warned in strong terms all private individuals, companies or groups of companies who had earlier been using or have just procured the spy number plates for their use to immediately revert to the originally registered number plates for their vehicles. He said the ban became inevitable as there's been a flagrant abuse of traffic rules and regulations and other extant laws guiding the use of police spy number plates.
