Hello everyone and welcome to a presentation on how we got the internet to EMF camp this year and how we almost didn't and we got away with it by the skin of our teeth. So this time in an attempt to make things a little easier, we had quite a lot of preparation and set up before the camp actually started. Then there's going to be a section on the uplink actually getting into here. Then a bit more detail on the course network and the data center and then a little bit on the wired network and AK47 is going to give us a presentation on the wireless. So this is several weeks before the camp began, a group of us coming to the site with a spotterscope attempting to demonstrate that we can get a line of sight to the data center. I'm just going to hold this to the data center where we actually get the internet connection from. It's a distance of about seven kilometres. Looking at maps and things, we can get a height profile just to see if there's any obstructions in the way, but that isn't guaranteed to work because of things like trees and buildings. The height profile may be out of date and may not be particularly brilliantly accurate. Obviously, to be able to see something seven kilometres away, it needs to be fairly large and visible. So Nyn at London Hackspace very generously made us this two metre by three metre fluorescent green and black flag, which turned out to be extremely useful. This is about a week before the camp with a pair of cherry pickers, one with a big flag on it at the data center end and one at the camp end attempting to see if we could see the link. At that point, we actually couldn't. We could see things near where we thought the link was, but not the actual data center site itself. So we were confident, but not 100% certain that was a bit of a mistake. This is the site where we were going to put the mast at the data center end. All this builder's rubble and sand is where the mast is going to go, and we were told it's all going to be moved, no problem, don't worry about it. Because we got large numbers of devices on the campsite to be configured, setting them all up by hand would be a pain in the neck. So we had some Google Docs spreadsheet that had all the relevant IP addresses and details of which devices were linked to which. And then there was a bunch of Python scripts that downloaded those details, took a template file, and generated all the configuration to the switches. We also needed to wipe old configurations off the switches and upgrade them to the latest version of iOS. So there's some extra code there to do that that kind of works, but not brilliantly. This is just a quick example. So if the switch has a port prefix of different switches, some use to have fast Ethernet ports and some have gigabit Ethernet, so we had to take that into account. And then it goes through a loop for each port in the camper network and puts in all the configuration stuff. There's loads of extra stuff in there we've missed out. What else have we got in there? Yeah, if anyone knows of any existing scripts to do this kind of thing, it would be nice to know what they were, because we couldn't find anything and it seems like the kind of thing that someone else has to have written at some point. Because we weren't certain about the line of sight link, we decided that rather than having the mast at the camp end right next to the camp, is to put it far up the hill and run fibre up to it, so that we have more flexibility in positioning it and to try and avoid trees and things in the middle. So come Wednesday, when we're on site for the first time, if I just turn back to this, we come to the data center, and there's a diagram there which you can't read, and a cabling diagram which you can't read either. It gives you some idea of the complexity. The kind of the squares on the edges of the individual depth and close with the core in the middle. So we found that at the data center, the rubble and sand hadn't been moved, so we couldn't actually put the mast there. We then spent the morning running around all the local car parks and businesses saying please can you put a 26 meter mast in your car park. Quite surprisingly most people said no. Luckily we found a garage down the end of this alleyway here where they were very friendly and said yeah you can shove a mast there. So this is the mast up on Wednesday night with a flag flying on top of it, so that come Thursday hopefully we can get a visual line from the camp and get it sorted out. What else have I got in here? There was another plan on Thursday morning called Plan P for prayer, which is to try and relay the signal from the roof of St Mary's church, Bletchley. When we contacted them they said no, but they said it so nicely I thought it was worth mentioning. On Thursday we had a 32 meter access platform which is a huge truck which had difficulty getting up the alley but got up there in the end. We had that for Thursday only. If we couldn't make the link work then we wouldn't have internet at all. Back to that one. This is the view from the top of the cherry picker towards the camp. I don't know if you've looked up the back of the hill here, just about on the left here, there are two shorter masts and they're not visible on this slide is there's one very tall thin mast which has been put in by the farmer with some anormators and some data logging because they're trying to work out whether it's economically viable to put a wind turbine in here. On the left here, you probably can't see it, you can just about see a grey thing at an angle which is the mast at the camp end halfway up because it's in the process of making a greyish greenish blob which is a land drive of driving people up there to sort out the mast. Let's see if that works better. We also needed to get from the mast at the data centre end back to the data centre. That was over 100 metres so it wasn't possible with cap 5 so we needed to get a roll of 5 but luckily we had a spare untested 140 metre roll so we used that, unrolled it all the way and as we were unrolling it all the fibres were cut apart from 2 and those two uncut ones didn't work either. So we had to call back to the camp for a spare roll, get it run round unroll it all, all the while trying to get the link up and running but luckily we got it running in the end. So we had from the data centre 150 metres of fibre running along a rubbish and weed stream bank to a garage tyre and spare part store which had a switch and the power injectors for the radios and after all that at sundown on Thursday we were just about to be able to get internet to the camp. On the campsite we also had lots of problems because we discovered that the fibre running from the mast at the campsite was also broken and needed resplicing which luckily we had a splicing kit on site so we were able to get that fixed. This is the decay way up on the hill getting lonely on its own to the left here is a sort of lighting mast tower with a built-in generator Luckily that had some spare sockets on it so we were able to use that to power the decay. At this end we don't need the full height of the mast so it's only up a little bit which makes it easy to deal with. This is the on-camp data centre in a refrigerated shipping container we didn't bother with racks everything's just sitting on pallets unfortunately being refrigerated the maximum temperature it could go up to was only 10 degrees C so it got fairly cold, we had problems with condensation and we had a high-tech solution with a bucket. This is the usual things core switch, a distribution switch and the all-important wireless controller some virtual machine servers for the on-camp services and a big mess of cables and now we're on to wireless. So yes wireless in terms of hardware we had this year an Aruba 2710 controllers which can handle up to 512 access points and has four times 10G We uplinked the wireless LAN controller with one times 10G to the Cisco 6500 core switch we had over here We didn't actually need that 10G because we only hit like 300M or so but well if you can uplink it with 10G then you should write We had about 50 dual-radio 8211 and Aruba access points and then another 10 dual-radio 8211 AC access points The software we were using is free-radios for most of the 8211x networks then we also had the Aruba air-wave management switch which we used for monitoring and gathering statistics and that kind of stuff and we also had graphite running to make some pretty graphs which we will show later In the picture you can see in the middle the 2710 controller with the 10G uplink On the top here we have a AP275 which is an outdoor access point from Aruba which has six integrated antennas so it's not actually a security camera it is actually an access point so you might have seen them deployed over the side and at the bottom which is an access point which is actually hanging in this room which is an AP225 which is a dual-radio 8211 AC access point This might be a bit hard to read but this is the config we've deployed so we had separate SSIDs for the EMF camp SSID on 2.4 GHz and on 5 GHz Most of the networks were encrypted with WPA2 Enterprise 821X encryption with authentication was being sent to a free-radio server This free-radio server also had an uplink with the top server the server for Spacenet and a server for Ethereum So we were next to the EMF camp SSIDs also offering Spacenet and Ethereum They are both serving the same cost so it is a federated authentication so if you are either a member at a local hackerspace or if you are a student at a university and you got an account at that university or hackerspace then you can use Ethereum or Spacenet If you already have that configured on your device then if you head over here to the campsite you don't have to configure anything anymore on your device so if you already have something that configured it will just work so you don't need to set anything up so that's pretty good for the ease of use of the users So we are tunneling all of the traffic through the Aruba wireless LAN controller The reason we are doing this is mostly for easier AP deployment because the access point just needs to get an IP address in random VLAN so it can build a tunnel back to the controller and that also means we don't have to stretch any VLANs across the site This also gives us the opportunity to do a lot of broadcast filtering because the Aruba controller has features like an ARP proxy and a neighbor discovery proxy and we want to filter broadcast traffic because that is usually at this scale is killing for the overall wireless performance We ran with a 4 channel plan on 2.4 GHz with 20 MHz channels and then with a 19 channel plan on 5 GHz We had about 10 access points dedicated configured for air monitoring so those access points are doing dedicated background scanning doing rogue detection and doing intrusion detection So I'm not sure if this map is a bit readable but this map should show the positions of all of the access points across the field so each datanclow had an access point and in this stage 10's multiple access points are deployed so over here we have 5 access points with one access point configured as an air monitor The reason we are placing more access points in a stage like this is mainly for capacity because this stage could fit 300 people or something so we need more access points to serve that kind of capacity So in this photo you will see the inside of a datanclow with on the bottom the Cisco switch which is in most cases also can do power over Ethernet and on the top we have a Aruba AP134 on the right we have a AP275 which is placed on this C field so you might have seen it we deployed that yesterday because we had some problems with coverage on 5 gig over there so statistics we had the number I got this from was about 2 hours back we had 2012 unique MAC addresses scene on the peak of 1090 concurrent associations 75% of the clients are smart devices either smart phone or like a tablet 50% of that is Android 25% is Apple iOS and then a way lower number are the laptops 7% on Linux, 7% on macOS and 3% on Windows users of the SSIDs so we had 33% on EMF camp 30% on EMF camp in secure 25% on EMF camp legacy 7% on Adorama and 2% on SpaceNet so this graph shows the aggregated users of a couple of SSIDs because we had multiple SSIDs running on WPA2 Enterprise it shows basically over here there's a way larger amount of people using encryption versus the unencrypted network so this pretty much shows that people do care about encryption and they well really should so 2.4 GHz versus 5 GHz the distribution is about 5050 we still saw a lot of clients that were actually 5 GHz capable still connecting on 2.4 GHz we were able to detect this on the wireless lung controllers because the Aruba access points can detect using when they are seeing probe requests from different devices so they can mark them as 5 GHz capable so this, the reason for this might be due to user error so the user is connecting to the 2.4 GHz SSID while it really should be connecting to the 5 GHz SSID bandstering can be a problem or the device is not capable of using the DFS channels so this is already a higher number of 5 GHz channel above channel 44 I'm sorry, 48 on this 5 GHz channels you have to do radar detection and some devices cannot do this this graph shows the channel utilization so the amount of 8 to 11 frames we are seeing on a certain channel and here we can see that we have about 40% average utilization of the 2.4 GHz band versus 10% on the 5 GHz band certain radios are peaking at 100% so that means the 2.4 GHz channel is completely exhausted so this is the traffic we did on the wireless lung controller we had a peak up to 300 Mb well this is also an interesting graph because you can it's a bit hard to see actually but so the brown area here is the amount of client associations in stage A so you can see over time where people are moving so when the talk is done you can see they are moving away from stage A and then going back to the A field to miliways or something like that so you want to take over for this one or? we have support from many different vendors it really takes a lot of organisation help to get this kind of thing running Bytemark loaned us a lot of equipment and also did some data centre hosting for us Comtech also loaned us a lot of equipment and also David C's time at which he gave extremely generously and also gave us some server hosting Rapid wireless is who we hired the wireless link back to the data centre from and they also helped with deployment Colocker gave us our internet link and also data centre access the camp couldn't have happened Flexoptics as usual loaned us for free a load of SFPs and Givix which are vital for linking all the access which is together and Aruba loaned us the Wi-Fi loaned up provided the uplink and so did Targasso networks and that's it I think any questions? lots of questions Martin so in this case we are getting a lot of sponsored access points so we need to do what we have so all of these access points have omnidirectional antennas so I would definitely agree it's better to use directional antennas but we simply don't have them available so we need to make the best of it exactly pretty low actually but we don't have that many access points deployed to detect but I would say it's about I think we saw about 50 of them so you have mostly our smartphones on the Wi-Fi network so there are the Galaxy S4 which is 11ac capable so it's mostly that kind of devices we saw but in the next coming years we're going to see a lot of AC clients so that is actually good news that means a lot of more 5Gig users so we can finally throw away this crappy 2.4Gig band and move to 5Gig completely but yeah a bit hard to we could look that up actually but we could put that from Graphite not enough as usual so I would say we had an average about 100Mb so if you calculate 100Mb over 84 hours then that should give you a fair number of of data uses I would say total total upstream plus downstream was average about 100Mb I would say I think you in the middle had a question I can't remember well do you know hello everyone so it's quite a common question so the microwave link is something like 430Mb as installed it's all giggle links for the actual transit network and to be honest I haven't had a chance to look at the graphs so I can't answer the question about how much traffic we use because I haven't looked it's mostly all on wifi though was there anyone else any more hands we have really no more questions great I can go get a beer how many cables did you have to plug in in the dotting club for network I have no idea 22 mostly power outage at a large part of the field so basically stage b and a large part of the abcde field so those are the spikes didn't hear the last bit two megabits we were looking at things like strobes but looking down into the city from up here I went up there in the cherry picker on the hill at like 17m up on Tuesday night and it's damn cold up there and it's very difficult to make stuff out amongst the backdrop of the city it's I kind of feel it's easier to do it in the day but yeah it's worth thinking about it's quite difficult to kind of sometimes do things like that in the middle, up a mass 30m up and you're going to wind it up it's just thanks to Jesper actually so Jesper is running the UK node for Spacenet so if you have a hacker space in the UK talk to Jesper to be connected to Spacenet if you have a hacker space somewhere else in Europe talk to us there is also a country node in Germany and one in Luxembourg we're currently in the Netherlands doing the rest of the hacker spaces in the rest in Europe who wants to get connected so by all means if you want to get connected to Spacenet then you want to have this awesome roaming experience between hacker spaces and this kind of events then please contact us okay thank you everyone


I think one advantage that hypothesis has maybe compared to other tools is once people see it. They get it right away it's not really hard to figure out I mean I know there's a lot of magic that makes that happen, but you know you see attacks to see the annotations you see the, you know, engagement interaction and you know they get it right away. They're either so general they hard to wrap their mind around, or so specific that there's like no wiggle room and you feel like you're stuck in a box so hypothesis seems to be in that sweet spot of, you know, powerful can use it different ways, but also intuitive at the same time as far as the basic idea of what it's for.


How many people here have been to Mendocino? Of course, lots of people. And you know how absolutely lovely and beautiful it is. All the photographs in here, ones that I've taken where I've gone up there many, many times over the last 15 years. There's a real feeling about that village. It's so far away from the city. And yet, San Francisco has such a magnetic attraction and has so much going on with it that even the things that are happening in the city, three and a half, four hours from the coast up there, trickle up and they're felt. And in 1959 in particular, you know the kind of things that were going on in San Francisco. The beatniks and the jazz and even smoking marijuana and just people breaking out of their patterns and trying to do something different and tired of the war and the bomb, the atomic bomb, everybody thought that we're gonna die anyway. It was part of the cynicism of the beats. And as you, part of the reason I wrote this book when I started writing it was I wanted to think about those times. I mean we now, we knew what was coming in the 60s and those people didn't and the people in the 50s, they really had no idea what was gonna happen. But we know now the kind of things that went on. So I wanted to look at the lives of people who were close enough to that to be affected by the unusual changes that were coming down the pike and wanting to participate in it themselves, but far enough away that they still lived a different kind of life. I thought I'd read one just a little bit from my book that kind of reflects the sort of atmosphere that I felt when I was up there. An hour before dawn the next morning, Howard Cain was walking the quiet streets of Mendocino smoking a short cigar. He paused for a moment in front of Alice's house at the westernmost end of Little Lake Street. The moon had set and the fog was thin, allowing flashes from the lighthouse up the coast to break through the darkness from time to time. Howard liked being out at night. It was a time to appreciate the small animal sounds, the rich smells of damp vegetation, and the special lightness that seemed to rise from the ground despite the darkened sky. He was a man who needed a lot of time to himself, a friend from his former life. Was it really just three months ago that he had left it? Who knew this about Howard? Had asked him why he decided to run a restaurant where he would be around people all day, chattering and carrying on. Howard had thought for a minute then said, it sharpens the contrast. Well, there was a lot of contrast going on down in San Francisco. And those of you who were here at the time or maybe were kids being brought into the city, for instance, you'd go into Union Square to go shopping. And the ladies would have on their white gloves and hats and all the men were wearing hats and everybody was all dressed to the nines. And then not even a mile away in North Beach and you can see up there the, there we go. This group, those were beatniks. I mean, those were the beats and that picture was taken and they went on a, meet the squares walk and they walked down to Union Square to introduce themselves. But as you can see, I mean, they weren't hippies at this point. There was no long hair.  But then there's the Vesuvios and city lights and so many interesting new kinds of things that were going on. And of course there was Lawrence Ferlinghetti with city lights. And one of the two of my characters go down to San Francisco in order to buy books to replace books in the library that has burned down. And I wanted to read you just a quick passage from that. North Beach was shrouded in fog when Ellen and Alice reached it in mid-afternoon, threading the Buick through the traffic on Columbus Avenue and growing excitement as they felt the pulse of city life beating around them. Where on earth can we park the car, Ellen said. We don't need to use it while we're here, you know. Her mother smiled, I know a place. She turned left to Green Street and pulled into an overnight garage driveway. A sign posted on the doorway said, full. I knew it, Ellen said, we'll never find a place. Parking was a problem even then. Her mother waved a silencing hand at her as a great uniformed man came up to the car. Alice smiled up at him and he nodded back. Got any little spot we can tuck this car in for a couple of days, she said. We just drove in from Mendocino. The man smiled and nodded, I grew up in Fort Bragg. How's it going up there? My uncle owns the old general store. He and Alice chatted for a few minutes about mutual acquaintances while Ellen shook her head slightly, amazed. The man gestured to a ramp inside the garage going up. Just so happens a car left five minutes ago so you just drive up that ramp and turn right.  Alice thanked him and steered the car carefully up the ramp. As they left the garage, they were stopped on the sidewalk by a crowd of people all watching something in the street. A Chinese funeral forming outside the Green Street mortuary.  The sonorous dirge played on trumpets, trombones and one French horn had an ironic comic edge to its sound. Pedestrians and cars alike stopped to wait respectfully as the funeral procession passed by. A large group of somberly dressed mourners shuffled behind the hearse. Ellen and Alice watched in awe while the whole scene disappeared into the fog. That's something you don't see every day, Ellen said. If I can make this work, let's see. That was actually a scene that I saw when I first came to San Francisco walking around North Beach, the Green Street mortuary marching band. It was just an incredible sight. Malvina's Cal Fave, people remember that one. Then, of course, the folk singers in the different cafes, they became extremely popular, of course. Even when I came to North Beach in 1976, Malvina's was still there and the coffee house scene was still pretty lively only they didn't have as many of the beatniks, the jazz and the comedians that had kind of moved back to New York by that time, certainly by the early 70s, even. Back in Mendocino, where are we? Okay, let's see. Just taking a look at some of the places around the town. The contrast that I try to set up in my book is of a quiet, very small village. In 1959, there were probably only 500 people living in Mendocino. It had been a logging town for a really long time and the logging business was pretty much diminished by that point. And it took four or five hours to drive up there then when there wasn't a really good road going through the redwoods, from Highway 101 over to Highway 1. So the people were kind of isolated and then when the 60s started and Ken Kesey and different people, artists and Bohemians started coming up to Mendocino, they began to change the life of the town. But by 1970, the people stepped in and decided that they weren't going to allow it to be developed into some kind of resort. And so they put a stop on development. So Mendocino now is almost exactly what it looked like in 1970, which is pretty much what it looked like all throughout the 40s and 50s. So it makes it a wonderful step back into the past. So that's our presentation. And we'll sit over here and answer questions if you have some.


It seems like it's been forever since both BSU men, BSU hockey teams have taken the ice at the Samford Center, but they're back and hungry to get some points, especially the men who've led a couple leads on the road slip late. A big series this weekend to gain some ground in the standings, Northern Michigan in town. First period, Michael Bitzer busy, makes the save on Robbie Payne shot. That'll keep the game scoreless, but later in the period, this time Payne puts it home with the long-range slap shot. That gives the Wildcats the first lead, but just before the end of the first, Miles Fitzgerald pokes in the rebound. We're all knotted up at one. BSU had some chances to take the lead, but Zach White-Cloud shot just goes off the post. It would end officially in a one-one tie in overtime. Northern Michigan, those scores in double overtime. That'll give them the extra point. If you've enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland Public Television.


Hello everyone and welcome to the Stocks One Show Play of the Day. This is Kaik. It's 11.30 and Kaik actually is starting up again right now. You could be in this except for the fact that there's minutes this afternoon at 2 o'clock and if you are in this, I would be out of this way before then by like 1 o'clock, 1.15. And actually Kaik could go down here to the target before then. Set up in here in the 15 minute was 16, stop over 85 and it actually set up here in the five minute but I had the proper stop placement at 85, I called in the room and a couple of people were in this. The next target really is break through the low of the day, 30, 30 or really $30. I don't know if this gets to $30 today. It's got to do it in the lunchtime period here. It's got about one hour to break in here and 30 minutes really, it's got to by noon assess to break the low of the day. It's on its way down, it's good. Daily bar here is fantastic and there you have it. Really nice gap here in Kaik, rated well, watch it out of the open, saw it go and aggressively did it and had a good, had a good exit in this actually. So let's just score with the trade. Talked about this this morning, I liked it, came up late, the gap happened late. First bar of the day here fell, fell hard, beautiful movement. This is not a swoosh but a nice show of me just here into the open. Rally back held, immediately did it and came all the way down. Okay, so this was a nice move again, it happened and a move was done here and the low of the day was set here so far by 10 o'clock, 10 o'clock. Low of the day the stock was set here by 10 o'clock. Typical, typical, typical. Now, do I think this breaks the low of the day? Yeah, it looks like it's going to try to. But you be in this here waiting for it to happen. And I really think the best thing to do is to be out of everything flat by two o'clock unless you want to be in a long because I think the market rallies today on the minutes news. If it falls, so be it. It's just not high odds to follow your continuation for anything into the minutes announcement though. So if you're in a good trade here this morning and you're up or you're profitable, try to exit your trades before two o'clock. But CAG is a nice short and CAG has a good target here down to 30. And actually if it doesn't get to 30 today, CAG could continue to tomorrow morning or actually gap down tomorrow morning down to the 30 number. But it's going to try to do it. It's going to try to get going. It's going to try to break 45. 10 more pennies down in here this will break the low of the day. And then again, like I said, could get down to 30 bucks today. But you're in this waiting for an hour now to go. And this is the thing I love about trading in the morning is what I love about trading in the morning. So I was in this train in the morning, boom, out. If you retook this in here where it first set up at 10.05, you're in it now for an hour and a half still waiting, still waiting for it to go. And if you're not a patient person, it's very difficult to trade like that.  I'm trying, I'm getting better at it, but I just rather like to make the money in the morning be done. So could this go another 45 cents from the low for this morning? Yes. Is it going to go another dollar from that number? No, no, it's not. So I call this chucking on your day if you do a second trade like this. I think the best thing to do is just lay low here this afternoon, see what happens in the market, see if it makes an aggressive bullish move into the minutes or if it falls in. Either way, we'll know in the next few hours. So nice golden gap here in CAG today. A lot of people did this in the room. I think everyone did do it in the room. Nice short move here, got it out of the gate. Very, very nice. It was a bunch of things to look at today. There were good gaps, bullish and bearish. Actually this morning, there were four highly rated gaps today. So you could have gone long, you could have gone short, you could have done a lot of different things. But I chose to do the CAG and I was going to do maybe two things this morning, but it's very challenging sometimes to do more than one thing in the morning. I'm running the room, I'm taking aggressive entries, I'm getting at these things very quickly and you got to pay attention to what you're doing. And I don't care what you do. If you're getting in trades between 9.30 and 10 that you have to focus and pay attention of what you're trading. So I typically only do one, but there was more than one thing to be done today actually. So the golden gap class is this weekend, June 21st and 22nd. It is the last class before the price class increases, which is going to be as of July 1st. So if you want to learn my system how to rate gaps on the daily chart to intraday day trade them or even to swing your core trades or options, then the class is this weekend if you want to sign up. You can email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com to do that. Someone was asking in the room about relaxing trades. I think trading day trading is relaxing because if I find something I like and it sets up and I take it and I'm up right away and I'm out of the trade quickly, that's relaxing to me. Being in something forever, if it takes a long time to set up and a long time to go, that's not relaxing to me. So I think you have to define what relaxation means to you. But for me, when I get a gap and I like it, like I like tag and it sets up right away in a minute and I'm up right away and I'm out of it quickly. That's actually very relaxing to me. I think it's more stressful to wait for something to set up for a long time or to wait for something to pay you for a long time. But you can do gaps for long-term trades, for swing trades or overnights. And actually, if tag doesn't go to 30 today, this is an overnight trade down to the mart of 30. Here, this is going to break the low of the day. This is going to break the low of the day here. I don't know if it gets down to 30, but this is doing it here now in the right timing of the day to happen now into 12 o'clock. I did not re-enter this, but I did call it in the room and some people are in it. And you could be in this. And actually, this is going to go there. Nice extension on the day here. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful bearish bar here in the CAG. And $30 is a realistic target for this to go. So we were talking about this idea of doing a swing trade for gaps. You can do that. Clearly, you see that you can do that. You can do it for a couple of days. You can do it for longer term. However, the fact is that day trading is really about income generation. And if you want to make money for income generation, the only thing you do with that is day trading. Swing trades or core trades take time. Things do not immediately go right in ways when you take necessarily a swing trade or core trade and your position. And you are also looking for big targets.  So your position size will be different for an overnight. So you have to give the trades time to go and set up. And you have to be patient and wait. What are you waiting for? You're waiting to get paid. And if you need money right now, then the only way to make that in the market is day trading. This is why people like to day trade. Everyone wants to day trade. Everyone wants to do it. Is everyone successful? No. But everyone wants to day trade because the money, you get the money right away. And this is why people jump from thing to thing to thing. Let's talk about this in the room. They try futures. They don't make money doing that. They try options. They don't make money doing that. They try forks. They don't make money doing that. And people try to day trade many different genres because we're looking for something. Anything that can pay them immediately right now today for me, it's stock trading, but not just trading stocks. It's really trading equity gaps. That's what it is. For me, if I did another strategy in the stock market, I probably wouldn't do it as a drop. This is something where to make money cash flow. I really think gaps are the way to do it because of the volatility momentum. If you're looking to just trend trade stocks every day as a day trader, you just can't get the same money. You just can't get paid the same. And lots of times you need the market. So for me, it's not only equity trading, but it's gap trading that provides the income generation. They happen fast. They're volatile. They have the momentum so then they can pay you because you need to be paid for the income generation. If you're trend trading as a day trader, you're not going to see the same types of moves on a regular basis for the income generation. So it's more than just the fact that I am looking to day trade to make money. I need to have real money. Like then it has to have a bar that looks like this. And how do you get a bar that looks like this? You have to actually trade the gap to get a bar that looks like that.  Otherwise, you can longer-term trade these things. If you find that more relaxed and fine, but then you're looking for bigger targets, it's not necessarily for income generation. It's for longer-term investing your wealth. And that's fine too. It's another reason to trade. Some people want to trade just the same and they have other jobs. They know when to quit it, but some people want to do it as a job. And I think it's a fun job, obviously, I think of it. Or I wouldn't have decided to do it simply because of the fact that it doesn't take up your whole day. Because I'm done here now. I've been done for a while. Could I be back in this? Yes. Did I want to get back in it? No. Minutes throughout this afternoon, and I just was happy with my morning, basically. And I didn't have 100% conviction this is going to some bigger number today because of the fact that there is an announcement this afternoon and this one has to get sold off more to get down to 30. But it looks like it's going to get there now or somewhere near the break of the low. So follow it through. So if you want to learn how to do gaps for swing trades or court trades, you can do that. You would rate the gap. Your targets, you would figure out the targets, but they would be bigger targets and you'd have to wait to get paid.  You have to give them time to work and be okay with that. You have to suffer through rallies if you're in a short backup till it gets the bigger number. Things don't go in straight lines. I mean, let's just look at the tag here, actually, for the longer term target. I'm saying this doesn't get to 30 today, tomorrow it does. But after 30, the next targeting tag is 28, okay? And that's realistic. And after that, 26. So, you know, is it going to get immediately there? No. And that's where you'd have to be patient and wait. So that's not what I call income generation. It's like extra money for savings or something. The income generation is the move in this here today where I did it. And our secondary move, which you're in it right now, which is going here. Is this going to break the low? Well, this is really, this is very nice today. So, so, so glad I did this. So this is Melissa with thestockswish.com. Have a wonderful day, everybody. If you're interested in the GAP class, email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com. Again, the 26 point rating system can be used to read the GAP. You can use the GAP to do what? To day trade it, which is the fun thing to do that I like to do, okay? Or to take a swing train to know the directional bias or a longer term core trade for the directional bias or an option. Because the 26 point rating system tells you the directional bias, okay? Email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com if you'd like to sign up for the class this weekend. And have a great day, everybody.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com. Happy Sunday. Coming at you in 2014, put in any prison football. Salo Pack Break number 33, with 15 contenders optic football teams being given away. That's gonna unlock picker team five, which is from a fresh case. And we'll do this randomizer for the teams a little bit later. Let's do the break first. Big thanks to this group for making it happen. Appreciate it. And all 32 teams are in. Let's roll it. Let's randomize names and teams. Four and a four, eight the hard way. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. Four and a four, eight the hard way for the teams. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, and eight. Use a different dice roll for the team giveaway part. Got Atlanta down a buffalo. No trade windows and filler breaks. Let's just show you what teams you got randomized here really quick. There's the first half of the list. There's the second half of the list right there. And let's sort by team and let's print and rip. We've got the Dodgers at Padres game on the background on ESPN. It's a Sunday Night Baseball game. Dodgers down a couple runs, but still some game left. That's a bit of a blast from the past here. Back when Josh Huff was a rookie. D'Anthony Thomas, nothing too crazy there. What about the red, white, and blue? We've got Alex Smith, De'Andre Hopkins, and Brandon Marshall. All right, nothing too crazy there, but what's crazy is almost half of this group right here will have a chance to win a team. So, let's gather your names again. One through 32 and everyone in between. New dice, new list. And it will be the top 15, almost half, top 15 after nine. We'll get into the contenders optic football break. Good luck. One, two, three, four, five. And a four, six, seven, eight. And good luck, ninth and final time. So now from 16 through 32, thank you for giving this a shot. I appreciate it, but we'll get him next time. Andrew's definitely had odds on his side. He's got the 15th team down. Kevin, you've got a team. Andrew, you've got a team. Let's see what's got a team. Andrew, Andrew, Andrew. Scott, Scott, Andrew. Scott, Matt, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew, and Andrew. Last spot, Mojo, with the team on top. Nice. And a bonus spot also coming in handy for Andrew as well. All right, this was cello pack 33. So we'll put cello 33 next to your name so you know that's where you won this team. So Andrew, you got the Jets, the Lions, almost said that's not the Royals. Kansas City Chiefs. Andrew, you also have Tennessee. Matt was Seattle. Scott with Tampa Bay. Buccaneers, not Reyes. Andrew, you have Miami, Minnesota, Carolina. Or Scott with Minnesota, Carolina. Andrew, Chicago, Denver, Indianapolis, New York Football Giants. Kevin with Arizona. And the Las Vegas Raiders for Andrew as well. I guess I was in a baseball mode when I was setting up this filler. All right, there you go. We'll see you in the next video for the break. Jaspeasecasebreaks.com.


The Senate has confirmed the nominations of Namonso Ekanam and Mahmood Abubakar Maggi as members of the Federal Judicial Service Commission. The nominees who are from Aqaibom and Niger States are to represent the South-South and the North-Central Zone of the Commission respectively. The confirmation of both nominees followed the consideration of a report by the Committee on Judiciary, Human Rights and Legal Matters. Mr. President, the existence of a pension reform Act 2004 does not amend it, amend it as pension reform Act 2014, and acts provides for departure on the old pension scheme of defined benefits to new contributory pension schemes, CPS. It also provides for a set-up of National Pension Commission, PAYAMCOM. The pension Act as amended cannot be said to have achieved its objective of solving the intractable pension crisis, suffice to say that each pension in Nigeria has more or less turned a monster that has defied all efforts by certain governments to contain it. And to say that defied and distressed, which retirees face in our nation, has come to a point where it's as if it is a crime to serve one's nation, investing the better part of one's life, only to retire into hardship. Savings under the contributory pension scheme is meant to be a saving for the rainy day for pensioners during their working days, their active life. The contradiction and irony, however, is that the unfortunate reality that retirees and pensioners face while their accumulated savings are fisted upon by corrupt officials requires that this bill should be given speedy consideration. Retirees have no other means of survival simply because their savings account is just simply accumulated with the pension commission, which determines what they want to give them as a lump sum. That lump sum will not last six months, it's gone. And then the amount of money that they give them monthly is too small for them to survive up. Because they have no voice in the amount of resources that comes to them at the monthly money that comes to them to take care of their families. Most of these beneficiaries or pensioners don't have a clue. It is what the operators tell them they have as their contribution in their account. That's what they take. And overall, they now come again to define what you are going to get and what you are not going to get. And I think this is the misery that pensioners are suffering from. And I think like the leader said, beyond the issues we are talking about here, by 2024, that would have been 20 years of implementation of this pension reform. I think it is time for us to begin to assess and evaluate the operation over these years and to see the ills or the successes with a view to coming up with another comprehensive reform that is people-friendly, that will help the retirees.


Flux is a mature open-source GitHub solution which GitLab is integrating into its GitOps approaches. The combination of GitLab and Flux supports a variety of options for configurations and topologies for the automation and management of your infrastructure updates. And it can also help you streamline your deployment processes to gain better collaboration among stakeholders in your organization, to lower your time to restore services or preempt and schedule production outages, to innovate and deliver value to your customers faster and to improve your compliance and always be audit-ready. In this short tech demo, we will show you how to bootstrap Flux and synchronize Kubernetes Manifests managed by GitLab. You can find the steps for this demo as a tutorial in our documentation. One of the prerequisites for this installation is to have a Kubernetes cluster up and running and accessible from a terminal window. As you can see, we have that in place already. The name of our Kubernetes cluster is Csevedra-FluxGitOps. Let's look at its running pods. All of the cube system pods are up and running. To authenticate with the Flux CLI, we must first create a personal access token with the API scope. So we navigate to my profile, access tokens window, and proceed to create one with API scope and name it Pat-4-Flux. I have already pre-created one, so let's cancel out of this window. Within the group Flux GitOps, which I pre-created, let's create a new project or repository and call it Flux-config. We will need this repository for bootstrapping Flux. But first, we need to install the Flux CLI. Since I'm using a Mac, let's use brew to install the CLI. Once the Flux CLI is installed, we need to create the environment variable GitLab underscore token and set it to the personal access token we created earlier. I have already done this, so let's move on to the next step. Now we bootstrap Flux and pass it the location of our GitLab repository, Flux-config. As Flux initializes, it populates the repository with its configuration manifest to manage itself from it. The bootstrap will also install Flux on the Kubernetes cluster and create a project deploy token to access the Flux-config repository. Checking the pods of the cluster, we now see that there are a few new pods in the Flux-system namespace. Heading over to the Flux-config repository and drilling into directory clusters slash my-cluster slash Flux-system, we see the Flux components and sync manifests that the bootstrap created. In this demo, we're going to demonstrate how to have Flux sync the manifests that are being stored and managed by GitLab. Let's create a new repository under group Flux GitOps and name it web-app-manifests. In the new repository, we create a new manifest file for an nginx deployment. We name the manifest file nginx-deployment.yaml and paste the contents for our Kubernetes manifest for an nginx deployment. Note that the replica's value is set to 3 in this deployment manifest. We now need to create a project deploy token so that Flux can access the newly created repository. From project web-app-manifests, we head to settings repository and scroll to the deploy token section and proceed to create a deploy token. We give it the name Flux-deploy-token and check the read-repository checkbox. Once we click on create deploy token, the username and password for the newly created deploy token are displayed on the screen. We save those two values for later use. Next step is to create a secret on the cluster using the deploy token username and password. We do this by running the flux-create-secret command from a terminal window. We can check that the secret was successfully created by running the following kubectl command. Now we need to configure flux-config to sync the web-app-manifests repository by creating two YAML files in the flux-config-clusters-mycluster directory. Notice that my-cluster only has one directory called flux-system at this point. From a terminal window, let's keep a watch on the pots of the cluster. From a second terminal window, let's clone the flux-config repository. We then head over to the my-cluster directory and proceed to create two YAML files. The first one will be a Git source pointing to our GitLab repository, web-app-manifests. Notice that this file uses a secret ref to refer back to the project deploy token secret we created earlier. Also, it specifies that every one minute the Git repository must be fetched. The second YAML file is a customization resource that tells flux to sync the manifest from our web-app-manifests repository with customize. Every one minute, the customization runs a server-side-applied-dry run to detect and correct drift inside the cluster. We commit these two new files to the main branch. On the right side terminal, we can see how Flux detects these two new files and brings the cluster to a new state, which includes three pots of NGINX as specified in the observed NGINX deployment manifest and their repository web-app-manifests. We take a peek into the Flux log to see that the updates to the Flux system took place. And finally, we refresh the GitLab window showing the contents of directory clusters slash my-cluster in the Flux-config repository and see the two new YAML files we committed earlier, the GitSource and the customization YAML files. The combination of GitLab and Flux can help you streamline your deployment processes to gain better collaboration among stakeholders in your organization, to lower your time to restore services or preempt and scheduled production outages, to innovate and deliver value to your customers faster, and to improve your compliance and always be audio-ready. Thank you for watching and until next time.


A film in three minutes, Lone Star. When it comes to American cinema it's easy to forget that behind the glitz and glamour of Hollywood there has always been an alternative independent industry operating in the shadows of the big studios. This cinema portrays a different, more nuanced perspective on a country usually known for its big spectacle and happy endings. But if there was one filmmaker who could act as the best representative of this underappreciated strain of American moviemaking and one film that best displayed his craft, it would be director Jonathan Sales and his 1996 masterpiece Lone Star. The story follows Sam Deeds, the sheriff of Rio County, Texas, played by Chris Cooper, who upon discovering the skeleton of former corrupt sheriff Charlie Wade from the same county 40 years previously begins an investigation into the legacy of his father Buddy, the man who replaced Wade after his mysterious disappearance. Sam's journey forces him to face the public legacy of his beloved father uncovering a truth that has long since been buried by the local townspeople, a truth which causes Sam to confront his own feelings towards the popular local hero and whether or not his father was a murderer. For those unfamiliar with Sales's work, Lone Star acts as one of his best and most accessible films to date. The way in which his screenplay moves backwards and forwards through time gives the world of Rio County a rich sense of history as we see the elderly townspeople back in their youthful prime under the tyranny of Sheriff Wade. These transitions are made beautifully with the camera, turning a friendly bar scene into a nightmarish crucible as we drift back into the memory of the past. The sense of community that the film builds works hand in hand with Sales's presentation of the town's bloodied history, making us as the viewer appreciate how interconnected the lives and deceits of the population truly are over two generations. Tapping into the history of Texas as a state and the relationship Americans and Hispanics have with their own sense of history, Chris Christopherson is terrifying as the brutal sheriff, presented symbolically as the devil in many of his scenes. But the real standout performance belongs to Chris Cooper, who walks the tightrope of conflicted son and love-lawan idol to the townspeople of Frontera. Sam's struggle with the constant worship of his father, whom he despised, and his search for the truth, both in terms of the murder and the relationship he had as a teenager with his first love, constantly pulls him back to a past he yearns to understand, wishing to bury what was left of his father's memory back into the desert whilst rebuilding what he once had as a young man. Lone Star acts as both a Western, romantic drama and mystery thriller, combining genres to create a world unique in American filmmaking. Sales' ingenious weaving between what the past means to some and how others prefer lies rather than the truth is a metaphor for how real communities are built across the world, forcing us as the viewer to appreciate that nation borders and communities are never that different from one another, and no matter how buried the past might be, truth always has a nasty habit of being uncovered.
