So welcome to the late morning session in the S2S workshop. It is my pleasure to introduce Heilin. Heilin works as a researcher at Environment Canada. And his research focuses on dynamic processes with a time scale longer than a week that influence medium and extended range forecasts. I thought that was a really nice description. He's also an adjunct professor at McGill, and he will be talking about the NAO influence on the MDO. Welcome Heilin and thank you so much for giving a talk at this workshop. Thank you. Thank you Judith and Abish for the invitation. So today I'm going to talk about the NAO influence on the MGO. It's a bit different from what we have been listening and heard. And I also want to acknowledge my collaborators, Zhiyun Huang, Harry Handen and GeoBear Blunei. So first of all I want to do a brief summary of the MGO impact on the NAO. It's quite well known and we also heard quite a lot yesterday. And after that I will show you some observed NAO influence on the MGO. So it's like another direction influence. And after that I will show you the impact of this influence on the forecast scale of the MGO from the S2S models.  And finally it's a summary. So this diagram we saw it yesterday a couple of times but in different format. I believe Friedrich showed this and Jaime also showed the seminar figures. It is the composite precipitation for eight phases of the MGO. So what you can see is the phase one, two, three up to phase eight. You see the eastward propagation of the precipitation anomaly. And there's two groups of phases two, three and six, seven. What you can see is there is a dipole structure of the precipitation anomaly with enhanced precipitation and convection in the Indian Ocean and reduced connection in the western Pacific. And the phase seven, six is just opposite. Quite a lot of studies demonstrate that these two phases, these two groups, the dipole structure of the precipite convection has the greatest impact on the teleconnection and the Lawson-Hemisphere exotrapics. So the NAO, and also you may also know about NAO, it's one of the most important mode of variability in the Lawson-Hemisphere. It's stronger in the winter season than in summer. And the variants explained by this single mode is quite a lot. There's about 31% of the variants in winter. Air temperature can be explained by this mode alone. And also not only temperature, there is also precipitation and humidity in North America and Europe. It's quite significantly influenced by this mode. All right, so I started by the influence of MGO and the NAO because the MGO is a tropical mode and the NAO is a variability in the Northern Hemisphere and with centers in the high latitude. So these two modes, they have teleconnections. So this is from early study. We show that the lag composite of the probability of occurrence of NAO phase. For example, this table shows the phase 1, 2, 3, to 8 of the MGO and the lag in pentaths, that's five days. So zero lag is the same pentath as the MGO. For example, the MGO phase 4, there is a 45% chance of aperture sale, that's above normal NAO index. So there is an indication that when the MGO is in phase 2 and 3, after about 10, 15 days, there is a high probability of positive NAO occurrence. So that's very consistent with what Frederick showed yesterday and also in the study of Kassu. And after MGO phase 6 and 7, you see the negative, the lower aperture sale of the NAO index. So that's the negative NAO. And the mechanism that there is an explanation for this lag teleconnection is one is the possible Raspberry propagation. And another recent study showed that there is a stratosphere pathway and the MGO can influence the loss of hemisphere NAO. So that is known. So the MGO influence in 2D dimension is for the MGO phase 3, zero lag, that's simultaneous. You see that the positive anomaly for geopotential height anomaly in North Pacific and the wave train just arc to the North Atlantic. And five days later, you see the further development of the geopotential height anomaly in North Atlantic. And another five days later, you see the development of positive NAO. So this is quite the opposite for the MGO phase 7. You see after about 10 days, there is a negative NAO development. So on the other direction, so today my focus is on the NAO influence on the MGO. So it's the opposite direction influence. So the similar in that paper we published in 2009, we did the lead lag for this MGO and NAO. But then this is again the phase of the MGO and this is the lead. That's when the NAO leaded MGO by one, two, three, four, two, five pentats. So what you can see is that the negative NAO leaded MGO by about three, four pentats. And the positive NAO leaded MGO phase 6 and 7 by about two to four pentats. But people can argue that because the MGO propagate eastward and they have influence. And when there's a cycle that can have this kind of like behavior relationship. But actually, as I will show, even when the MGO at first is very weak or there's no MGO at the beginning, the NAO can influence, can amplify the MGO afterwards. Okay, so the schematic figure of this interaction is the MGO. And when it reaches the western Pacific, it can send the Rosby wave and influence the NAO. And after the NAO is amplified or it's changed, it can influence the MGO again. And also if there's no this branch, the NAO variability because there is other mechanisms can generate the NAO. For example, the atmospheric internal dynamics and that can also influence the initialization of the MGO. So we look at the market regulation for 200 manabar zonal wind with respect to the NAO index. For example, this is the zero lag, that's the simultaneous. The positive NAO, you see the increased western wind in the North Atlantic. And 5 days later, 10 days later, what you can see is that this signal is moving southward. And at 4 and 5, what you can see is that the increase of western wind in the tropical Africa and Indian Ocean. So this is quite significant after the NAO, there is a change of zonal wind in the tropics. So that is connected to the influence that the MGO. So what we show here is the average between zero and 90 degrees east. That's over Africa and the tropical Indian Ocean, the zonal wind. The X axis is the latitude from 30 degrees south to 90 degrees north. And the Y axis goes up is time in days. So what you can see is this is the difference between positive and negative NAO. So it's the same, it's very similar to the positive after positive NAO. So what you can see is that after positive NAO, about two weeks, 14 days, there is quite a sudden increase of zonal western wind over the equator. And this also happened in the model, it's an ECCC model, it's very similar. So this behavior after the NAO, there is about two weeks after the increase of zonal wind in the tropical Indian Ocean. So now we will ask if this kind of connection between the influence of NAO can impact the MGO prediction scale. So when we look at the S2S models, there are 11 models, we look at the hind cast for the winter period. So I don't want to go into detail about these models. So what I want to show is that we select those cases when the forecast is initialized with strong NAO, and that's when the NAO index is greater than one. And then compare that with the forecast with the weak NAO initialization. And also compare the positive NAO forecast and the negative NAO forecast. So there's quite a lot of cases for these two kind of categories of forecasts. So this shows that after about 20 to 30 days after the NAO, you see the probability of the phase of the MGO. For the error interim analysis, you see that after 20 to 30 days after positive NAO, you see the increase of the MGO phase 6, phase 7. And when the NAO is negative, you see the increase for occurrence of MGO phase 3 and phase 2 and phase 3. So this kind of relationship exists in almost all the models.  But it shows that after positive NAO, the MGO tends to happen in phase 6 and 7 after negative NAO, MGO phase 2 and 3 tends to happen after about 20 to 30 days. All right, so that's a phase. So about the amplitude. So this is the evolution of the MGO amplitude after strong and weak NAO. So for the error interim, that's reanalysis, you see there's about 20 to 30 days, the strong NAO lead to a stronger MGO. And also for the most of the models, but some models like yesterday we see that the most of the model, the amplitude MGO decays. But there's one model at increase. But no matter it's increase or decrease, but the relative amplitude between a strong NAO and a weak NAO, it's quite consistent. Okay, again, this shows the 0 to 90 degree average zonal wind at 200 millimeter bar for all those models. So what you can see this after about 15 days, most of the models can capture this like increase of zonal wind over the equator. All right. Okay, so that's the high level. How about the lower level? 850 millimeter bar, zonal wind and ORR. So for the reanalysis, you see that the blue contour, it's the elective zonal wind at 850 millimeter bar. So you see the, like yesterday wind alamony and the reduced connection and this corresponding to the negative to MGO phase seven. So what we observed. And this kind of distribution is also like assimilated quite well in the most of the S to S models for the KMA model, they didn't provide the ORR. And the wind structure is quite similar. So over Indian Ocean, there's East Italy and over Western Pacific, there's West wind alamony. All right. So let's look at the forecast scale, like grouped by strong NAO initialization and the weak NAO initialization. The red curve, that's the strong NAO start and the green is weak NAO start. So what you can see is that after about two weeks, there is a separation when the strong NAO lead to a better forecast scale. For most of the models, almost all the models except the one the JMA models, probably at the end there's some signal and also the French model. But for the other models, the scale is quite like the difference is quite clear. And we look at the lead time in days, how many days it dropped to 0.5 so that can be regarded as the scale of the MGO. So the orange bar is the strong NAO start and the light blue is the weak NAO start. So what you can see is that for most models, the strong NAO has a better, longer forecast scale for the MGO. And for the Australian model, ECMWF and NSIP, the strong NAO, they all can reach the forecast scale of 30 days of MGO. So how about the general scale instead of the MGO? So this is the average correlation scale of the Zonno wind, 200 meter bar, that's in black, and the Zonno wind at 850, that's in red, and the ORR, that's in green. So that's the average in the strong MGO area. So what you can see, that's the dashed line that starts with the weak NAO and the solid line that's with the strong NAO. So almost for all those variables, you can see that when you start the forecast with strong NAO, you get a better scale. And the ORR has the weakest scale, so that can be expected. And the 200 meter bar Zonno wind, the scale is the best. But we do see that the scale difference between strong and weak NAO forecast is quite clear for all those models. Helen, about two or three minutes. All right, okay, I'm about to finish. So there's also dependence on the NAO phase. We compare the forecast starts with positive NAO and the start with negative NAO. So the conclusion is that when you start the forecast with negative NAO, that's a green line, for most of the models, you get a better forecast scale of the MGO. The reason, okay, this is somewhere you see that the negative NAO leads to a better scale of the MGO. So the reason, we look at the wave activity flux for the positive NAO. This is after 21 to 30 days from the initial condition in initialization. You see that in both positive NAO forecast and negative NAO start, we see a strong like a southward wave activity flux in the tropical Atlantic. But in the negative NAO forecast, the southward wave activity is much stronger. So this can be, the contour is the stream function. This can be linked to when you have a negative NAO after 20 to 30 days, you've got the cyclonic circulation. There's a westerly wind in the lower latitude in the North Atlantic. So that helps the southward propagation of the rugby wave. And the possible mechanism for this is that when you look at the DJF, climatological zonal wind at 200 millibar, you see there's quite an area over the tropical Africa and the Indian Ocean. The basic state is east wind. So the southward wave activity flux in the North Atlantic, when they reach this area, they can become a forcing mechanism for the tropical upper Kelvin wave. And there's studies, earlier studies showed that the tropical Kelvin wave can be forced in the east wind basic state. So that can be the possible reason for why the North Atlantic oscillation can propagate to influence the MGO. Okay, to summarize is that we see there is a substantial influence of NAO on the MGO. And the NAO positive NAO need to face 6, 7 and negative NAO need to face 2 and 3. And we see that the forecast when initialized with strong NAO can have a better MGO forecast scale than weak NAO. And also the face of the NAO has influence also, negative NAO tends to be more skillful than positive NAO forecast. So, okay, I will stop here. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks very much. I have, yeah, please post your questions or raise hands if you have any questions. I have a question. So a lot of the S to S community focuses on precipitation and to meet a temperature. And I'd be interested if this state dependent predictability you have beautifully shown and demonstrated here translates to those variables. Yes, the examples I show here, that's for these three variables that compose the MGO index, Zung Nguyen 200 and Zung Nguyen A50 and ORR. So I think those differences in the tropical precipitation can be influenced as well because the ORR we see this difference. And the temperature, probably as well, but I didn't look at the temperature because the Zung Nguyen at the lower level is, there's a difference. So I guess the temperature also can show some difference. Thank you. Any other questions? The question from Anjie. Anjie, do you want to unmute yourself? Yeah, I was interested in your lagged composites analysis where you may look at the MGO, NAO, NAO-MGO influence or relationship. I wonder what would happen if you looked at the different phases of the NAO in a similar way in the lagged composites analysis would you find kind of a cycle there and if so what period or what lagged time period is important there. You mean for this kind of analysis? Yeah. You separate them because this is the take all the NAO, I'm not sure how to get to the only the positive NAO, because this identify the negative NAO, not lead the MGO phase 2 and 3 and identify the positive NAO, lead MGO phase 6 and 7. So if you only select one phase, you only get part of it. So I guess, is that right? Yeah. Now I probably meant more completely independent of the MGO phases just between basically like the, like an autocorrelation of DNAO basically, but in terms of these pentate legs. Okay. So, yeah, we did this analysis for example for the difference between the forecast scale of MGO between strong and weak NAO. We did this only for for the cases that has a very weak MGO at the beginning. So we still get this influence so that that means that it does not depends on initially you have a strong MGO or not. I don't know if that answer your question. Yes, I mean it's very interesting. I think there are lots of angles. Yes, it's interesting. Thank you. Thanks so much. Jan had a question, if you'd unmute first. She had her hand up before me. So, yes, I decided to. Okay, sorry. Then I can go ahead. I was interested in it and it brought in a new aspect. Okay, thanks very much for this interesting talk. I was wondering if you have looked at it, your relationship North Atlantic to the MGO for more from including more modes of variability for the North Atlantic so including blocking over Europe and Atlantic which for example. If not, would you expect to get different results on the different impacts on the forecast skill using more modes of variability? We didn't look at that but I think it's an interesting topic to do more investigation because we picked up NAO. There's no reason why we like to do other modes. Probably if you pick up the blocking and other European mode, you can also get some signal. But yeah, I'm not clear now but it's worth doing for sure. Thank you. Thanks. Jacqueline, please go ahead and mute and ask your question. Well, thank you. I was typing my question. Okay, so we know that the MGO occurs on like different synaptic patterns, like different seasons, different ends of states. And so it's effects on the extra tropics, for instance in your case NAO can vary considerably. Have you looked at how does the NAO influence the MGO at a specific season, for instance, or ends of state? Like, are you confident that your correlations for phase two and three or six and seven, do they happen or occur more frequently during a particular season during a particular end of state? Can you comment on that? Thank you. Yeah, that's an interesting question also. The analysis we did, that's only for the winter season. Because we know that in winter the westerly wind is strong in the extra tropics and that's easier for recipe waves to propagate. In summer, probably the influence is not as clear. But for other, like the modulation of ENSO and other internal variability, I think that some years when the background flow influenced by the ENSO can be more favorable for the propagation. And that can have a lot of different like influence. But that is, I think, further investigation to look at those interesting questions. It's quite useful. Yeah, thank you. Thanks very much. Thank you so much. Hi, Lynn, for your presentation. That's very interesting, a new perspective. We are moving to the next talk by Charlie.


A court in Russia has given a two-year suspended sentence to a 60-year-old pensioner in St. Petersburg city, Irina Saibaniva, for leaving notes on the grave of President Vladimir Putin's parents saying they raised the maniac and the murderer. In the note, Saibaniva urged what she described as the maniac's parents to take him with them, because he is causing so much pain and trouble. The prosecutor had asked that the suspect be sentenced to three years in jail. The court on May 11 said Saibaniva insulted the dead on the grounds of political hatred. The suspect said she did not consider her act to be political, explaining that she did this because of terrifying news of a possible use of nuclear weapons. She has been sentenced to two years of a suspended sentence with a two-year parole. Moreover, according to the court's decision, Saibaniva can change her place of residence only by notifying the criminal inspectorate once a month and cannot leave St. Petersburg without prior notice. As noted by Saibaniva's lawyer Veronica Karagodina, the court's decision does not say anything about the ban on visiting the Seraphimovsko cemetery in St. Petersburg.


Welcome, this is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I wanted to show everyone who's been talking to me about how much do you need to trade options, how you can take a set risk of money. You choose the risk based on the size of your account, the cash size of your account, and you can trade even with a beginner risk or an intermediate risk or an advanced risk and make money trading because a lot of people I think are under the assumption that they need XYZ amount of money or a lot of money in order to trade. So I want people to see and I'm going to be doing more of this in 2022 lower risk numbers, beginner risk numbers or intermediate risk numbers so that people can see it is about having more winners than losers. That's how you have to be successful and that's how you can make money. So this was the first week of January, January 3rd, 2022, the trades if you used to beginner risk which we're going to go over, what would have been your results? A 67% win ratio and a 238% return on investment. So those are great results, fantastic results. Again, this is using a lower risk amount than an advanced trader risk amount. How do you determine that? What is your experience trading options? What is the size of your cash account? All of those things you have to take into consideration and of course it's your decision and you can ask me what I think as well. You can watch me on Fox Business, Fox News and many other channels and if you have questions you can email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com if you're interested in the Gap Options newsletter or you can call me at 929-3200 GAP, follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. So everything that I do is based off of my golden gap rating system, my golden gap strategy. You can make money trading one strategy. In fact, I think it's best to focus on one strategy so you get good at it. One of the reasons that many traders fail and lose money is because they're all over the place and they never really get good at one thing. I've gotten really good at one thing. I figured that out very early on in my trading career even before I figured out my system that it was about just focusing on one thing or having even one good trade a day in order to make money. So I pretty much made a career out of it and it works. So this is very good advice. You need to focus on one strategy if you want to be successful, master it and you can move forward then with success. So let's talk about the trades called in the Gap Options newsletter again using a beginner risk for this first week of January. So the win ratio was 67%. There were two winners, zero break evens, one loser and three trades. So I actually did call four trades during this week but you wouldn't have been able with a beginner risk to take the trade. Again, I'm going to explain that in a minute. So the total amount risk, 3,370 with all of the three trades, beginner trade profits would have been 8,030 for this week with your risk, again, of the total risk for the week and all the trades, 3,370. We turned an investment 238%, which is fantastic, fantastic. We've had a great start to the year. So anyways, all of these expired, the options, the newsletters expired in the 7th. So I called the QQQs. This was 1229 and expired the 7th. The putts, here is the chart, again, just showing you here the 29th when I called it, got the drop, boom, okay. Again a put is a short, a short where we're looking for momentum to the downside. So when I called it here, you can see to the right where the market was around 402, I called it to drop down into the strike. Was a nice one here. So with an average risk, I'm using an average risk of about 1,000. And you could take one contract, which would have cost you what, $390, that's it. You still would have made money. So three contracts at 390, risk 1170, sold at 18, would have been a profit of $4,230. With a return investment of this one particular trade of 362%, that is a nice, nice profit. Specifically looking at the total risk amount, so if you would have risked 1170, you would have made over $4,200 just within that week period, nice call. The Teslas I called, okay, this trade, though, you would not have been able to do with a beginner risk. This is the one I'm going to show you would have been zero, you would have done it. This closed here, gapped up, ran up to the target, again, called the 1150s, called calls in this on Monday the 3rd, none, because the cost was 39. So I'm showing you here, if you're someone that has a certain risk, you need to be within that risk and it'll mess you up if you're not. I'm telling you right now, you have to pick a risk, pick a lane and stay in it. It doesn't mean you're going to be in the lane forever. You're going to increase your risk and eventually risk this much. You can eventually get to the point where you risk 4,000 for a trade or thereabouts, but if you're starting out, particularly if you're a small account, you have to go by the letter. So you would not have done this one. I did call this, again, you would have done it. You would have passed on that guy. But then the spy calls, I called you would have been able to do, spy was on, called this on the 4th. Okay, so let's go back to the 480s, here, close to your gapped up. This was actually profitable for a short period of time. So theoretically you could have got out of this with profit, but if you let it try to continue with more momentum, you would have lost in it, again, risk similar to equal 1200. Remember the other risk was this very close. You do the best you can to get it tight. Zero return on investment, zero profits. As you can see, this was a call. Just want to go back here. The market fell off then the rest of the week. Again, you could have got out here with some money. I'm just showing you here, if you played it out for the bigger movie, you would have lost. So one loser, one winner and one no trade so far. And then the 580 puts, this was a Netflix called on the 4th. Go here to this day here, boom, got the drop. Really nice call, really nice call, the 580s. Again, dropped into it, cost was $5, so you would have been able to take what? Two. With an average risk of around 1000, close to that, sold a 30 beautiful trade. You would have made $5,000, risk in $1,000 or 500% return on investment. And again, we're getting moves like this. I mean, I've been on point this year as far as focus, but it's all about the gap. It's all about the gap, going back to the daily chart. So how do I make the picks? How do I look up? I get up in the morning. I do the pre-work. I'm analyzing it in the morning. I'm rating the gap, okay? Solid Netflix would fall before it fell. And again, you can see here the time, well, this one went out in the afternoon, actually. But let me just go back and look at these other times. This was really in the morning, the spy. See, Tessa was well in the morning. Most of them, I do send out early in the morning. So this was actually a little bit late, to be honest with you. So anyways, what would your results have been? Again, you would have made money as a beginner, actually let me go back to the first slide here. You would have made 8,030 bucks. This includes the one loser. It includes not doing Tesla, and you would have had to risk a total amount of risk for the total week of 3,370, okay? So this is a solid week. No one said you have to do a million trades every week. I mean, do you see here how it's about quality, quality, quality and focus? And that is how you do it. And that is something else that I think a lot of people just don't understand through trading. They want to be all over the place. They're absolutely over-trade. And I know this, I'm speaking from experience. I personally, when I started trading, over-traded. I always wanted more, more, more, more. It doesn't work like that. It doesn't work like that. It's about quality. Now, if you're interested in signing up to receive the newsletters to your email inbox in live time, the subscription for the Gabbash as a newsletter is 12 months. It's an annual subscription. It is $6,999 a year, trades are emailed to you. There is no prerequisites. You can sign up whenever you want, although I will say if you want to receive the earnings season trades, and if you don't want to miss another great week, then you sign up as soon as you can. Sign up now. I mean, there's nothing that makes anyone miss out other than missing the trades. So I mean, it's kind of interesting because it's like, yeah, I offer this all throughout the year.  And I think a lot of people really are anxious to start trading and many people are trading. They just don't know what they're doing. They don't have good trade ideas. So, you know, the newsletter is very successful. You can sign up whenever you want. This is the normal price and it's on my website all the time. However, if you want to get this coming week's trades and if you want to start doing well and get going with this, nothing's stopping you.  And earnings season started today on Friday. So we've had some nice moves in the beginning part of this 2022 and I think this will continue, will continue into the rest of earnings season, hopefully the rest of the year. Now, if you're interested in just a half downhill subscription, it's $49.99. Obviously, you save. If you sign up for the year, it's a better value. But if you do not have $7,000 and can only afford $5,000 right now, $4.99, then sign up for the six months. This gives you six months of newsletters. That's a lot of time. That's a lot of time.  The trades are emailed to you. And again, the targets are in the letter.  You can ask me what I think about your risk. You have to have an account set up or know how to set up an account if you sign up after the fact and you have to talk to the broker about how to place the trades. We're buying and selling. Buying calls and selling calls and buying puts and selling puts. This is very simple. Options trading. This is not overly complex spreads or anything like that. Because again, I'm looking at the total, total momentum gap movement of whatever I'm doing. So I'm always looking at the gap. I'm rating the gap. That's where I'm making the decisions on. And we do it either, like I said, with the momentum up or the momentum down at any given point in time. Because remember, timing is extremely important in options. I mean, you have to make money within the time of the option before the expiration date ends. So that's the whole thing about options. And so we're doing it with momentum, which is why you can get trains like that Netflix where you have a 500% return on investment. So if you have questions, you can email me at Melissa, thestockswitch.com. I hope this was helpful. You can train with a beginner risk. There is nothing wrong with that. There's nothing to be ashamed of. You should not wait until you have some huge, massive account to start. You're missing out. And if you're trading right now and you're not doing well, you're not making enough or you're losing, that's crazy. Get going. Don't miss out an earnings season. You take the money that you have and grow it. You can grow a small account into a larger account. I've seen people do it. I've seen people do it with me. So if you have questions, email me at Melissa, thestockswitch.com. Have a great night, everyone.


On a recent fishing trip to Lake Champlain, I was introduced to my first experience with sea lampreys. We were targeting lake trout and so were the sea lampreys. Among the most primitive of all vertebrae species, the sea lamprey is a parasitic fish native to the northern and western Atlantic Ocean. Due to their small body shapes, lampreys are sometimes inaccurately called lamprey eels. Lampreys lack scales, fins, and gill covers. And like a shark, their skeletons are made out of cartilage. They breathe through a distinctive row of seven pairs of tiny gill openings located behind their mouths and eyes. What makes them so efficient at killing lake trout and other fish is its disc-shaped suction cup mouth ringed with sharp teeth. Once it latches on to an unfortunate fish, it uses its rough tongue to rasp away the fish's flesh so it can feed on the host's blood and body fluids. One lamprey can kill about 40 pounds of fish per year. The sea lamprey is also known as the vampire fish. Sea lampreys have remained largely unchanged for more than 340 million years and have survived through at least four major extinction events. A single female lamprey typically has up to 100,000 eggs, 10% of those hatch which makes up to 10,000 baby lampreys from a single male female pair. The geobiologists set up barriers and traps in streams that feed the lakes to prevent the lamprey's upstream movements and they apply lamprecides, which is a special chemical that target lamprey larvae but are harmless to other aquatic creatures. There are new techniques to control lampreys under development since lampreys use odors or pheromones to communicate, scientists have replicated those odors to increase the efficacy of current control models. I noticed a lot of these fish have scars on them. Yeah, they're all lamprey. Is it? Yeah, sea lamprey. Wow. That's why fishing game stocks let you out. They're almost fished to extinction and now the lamprey took over the lake so now they call the lamprey. What a beauty. I like the color of the title on that guy. Greens. That's a beauty. Oh yeah. That's the one that's been clipped. So they stock thousands and thousands of these in the lake and this is a stalker. Oh, I think I got one. You were sent over. Yeah, I got one. I stole one. He looks like a shark. Oh, it's got a lamprey on him. Oh, it is. Sick. You gotta take video that way. Yeah, I gotta land this guy. The video lamprey. That's sick.   Oh, really? Are you looking yet? Bring him over. Sick. Bring him in. Bring him in. Bring him in. We'll give you $5 if you put that on your neck. Absolutely not.  Yeah, they're nasty creatures. Look at that thing. What? Those are all teeth. Ew. Stunned a little bit more. So they have a little wrath tongue. So that's the grippers. Those aren't teeth.  That's disgusting. Yeah.  Exactly. Oh, it's nothing. You want to get your liquor? Yeah. I forgot about the fish because I was keyed in on that freaking lamprey. I'll show you what I mean. I'm just trying to count. Oh, yeah. Look at that. He was just got on there. Yep. He shamed his way around. Yep. That's a nice healthy trout. That's the only one he had on him. But it was your lucky day, bud. All right. We'll get him back. He never thought being caught would be his lucky day. And I tried to put him on the hook for bait and they won't eat it. Ew, really? Yeah. That's a weird, weird animal. Parasite. Yeah. So these are sea lampreys. There are native lamprey to this lake. This one is not. This one came out. How do you know that's a sea lamprey? Because it gets to this size. It like feeds like this. The other ones don't feed like that. What do you do with it? Eat it. Well, I'm sure there's cultures. I'm sure there's cultures that eat it.  I'm just gonna make sure that it's dead. And then it had a baby lamprey on itself. I'll give you $20 to put that on. I've seen people do it out here though. No. Yeah, they put them on their tongue. What? Like smaller ones. Yeah. This is a medium. I've seen ones that are like two feet long. Yeah, he's dead. He did. Got some of them. Got them? Yes. Finally. There he is. And you got another one, huh? Oh, he's got a huge lamprey. Geez. You got them? Yeah. That's the biggest lamprey yet. Whoa. Get it? Those things are nasty. Oh, so nasty. Finally, guys. It is not all leg trout down there. It can't be because they're just not fired up. But another one right there. And I'll show you the big lamprey that was on them.  Yeah, that's touching me. That was disgusting. Yeah, got him. All right, I got the bite now. Six of them bore that. That's a long one. That's a nice one. There's one with them. Oh, look. What is he got? A goiter. Oh, the fungus just fell off.  It's appropriate. That's a big fish. That's 28, 29. Oh, man.  That is an awesome fish. He is like a zombie. Not ready yet. I'll turn his head for you. He's pegged pretty good, I think. All right, I got him now. Nope. Boy, they're fighting hard. There you go. Yeah. Nice. I can't get over the marks on these guys. So that's all from lamprey. They're not like a little baby lamprey on them. Do you pick those off? Yeah, I pick them off. Some of these lampreys are, because I want to stop recording like 10, 25. These lampreys get up to like two feet long. They're nasty. Oh, that's gross. Under the teeth. Did it come off? Yeah. Yep. Oh, there's one down, I think, by his fin. So he bumps at... Oh, is he going to make 30? Oh, no, he's 30. He's 30. He touches. He touches. It's a Vermont master angler. It is. Sweet. Look at the holes in them. There we go. There's nothing better than those mountains in the background, too. It's so sick. Get him? Good. All right. Nice one, guys. Going back. Big old Laker. All right. Another good one, guys. That's the old slime dart for you. Beauty. Biggins. It's like flesh hanging out there. That's crazy. Is it really? Yeah. You can see bone in there. That's a bad one. That might be the worst one, yeah. Some... I'm going to say there's some if you turn up this way a little bit. There should be like three or four there. Got him. Got another one. Yeah. There we go. All right. There's my biggest one of the day, guys. The best fight of the day for me. There's still four or five back there, but... Is there? Yeah. I'll deal with him. Oh, he was lampreyed. It was just in the guts. Oh, yeah. That's why I couldn't see it. Got him stacked? Yeah. Nice. That's a good one, guys. Yeah, that is a nice one. He's probably in that 30 range, wouldn't you say? Yeah. Master Angler Vermont. Oh, come on, doubles. Come on. We get a doubler? No. I'm going to get a measurement on him. Yeah. I think he's 30. Freaking crackers. What happened? No, he's not 30. He's 29 and a quarter. 29 and a quarter. Nice one. Oh, that is pretty fish. Isn't it pretty? Yeah. Yeah. Going back.


The agenda in here, if you can add your names. I saw some teams kind of made an update. So hopefully they will join as well later on. Cool, cool. So let's get started. So we have the tags somehow half implemented. So we did something we wanted to iterate and then the issue is kind of like stuck in the pipeline. So I think the recommendation would be for localization team do not implemented yet because then you have to do it all over again. So it's like, I thought it would be quick because we did like, okay, let's do this really quickly and then do the other change. So yeah, I'm always kind of mindful or I tried to be because I feel bad when people do double work, right? So I would maybe just not touch it. And also we wanted to provide some guidance as to how to handle tags and the documentation but we wanted the updates to be live yet because we've seen that in some, in two or three maybe or two, I don't know, terms there were like several tags. And it's like, yeah, sometimes you can add like lots of tags because it fits into, from a broad perspective it fits into various things but then the tags are not useful anymore because they're not really telling you. So we wanted to be very deliberate and thoughtful about how we use them. So they can be useful for the user when they're looking for terms of understanding how this fits in versus like putting all lots of tags that suddenly just are lots of noise and don't really tell you anything about it because everything is technology related. So we also started the, in the discussions the, we started a discussion in GitHub for how to handle updates. So it's not already provided feedback. So basically there is no right approach right now here and we just want everyone to maybe share their own approaches and then kind of figure out what the best approaches and when we found something that the most, and again, like everyone can handle it the way they want, every team can handle it the way they want to but we wanted to kind of first gather some ideas and have a conversation there before we kind of say like, this is like the recommended approach. So Team Portuguese has one, if anyone else has one, it would be great to share it here or comment or just like engage in that conversation because it is kind of, oops, not this one. It is important. So again, like here to see how you appears and handle it and let, please, please let's have that conversation. Glossary at KubeCon, great news, Lightning Talk was accepted. So that's great because it's a five minute talk. It's generally like people come to see the Lightning Talk so it's not necessarily people that come, oh, I wanna hear that particular talk. So you have a much broader audience, right? It's a much bigger audience. They come to see the Lightning Talks, they come to see a lot of things. So you are touching, you're getting to, you reach people that not necessarily picked you or not necessarily, they didn't see your talk or whatever on the list. So it's great for awareness. The goal of the Lightning Talk is saying like, this is the glossary, this is why it matters. This is why you should use it. If you wanna contribute, this is why you should contribute. We're also localizing, wanna localize, this is what, so it's like really kind of like, really quick, short explanation of what it is. It's purely awareness. So people know that it is there and that they can participate and, yeah, and contribute as well in the localized effort. The panel discussion, unfortunately, well, not our first nation state because wait list means that it was, it was like getting a talk in KubeCon is very hard, right? There's a ton, like we've gotten lots of rejections this year. It's very, very hard. So wait list means that it was good enough, right? Like it was really good to pass that bar but they didn't have enough spots. So they do sometimes speakers cannot come or something happens and then it opens up. So there's still a chance. The panel discussion, again, for those who don't know it, we invited several people from the localized team. It was very localized focused. And then like why everyone thinks it's important to have a localized version of the talk and so on. So, yeah, we wanted that to be like an opportunities, particularly for some of, we cannot invite everyone, of course, but some of the team leads of the different localization efforts to give them a chance as well to talk to a bigger audience. Then we also want to empower you to, we would love, like, and that's like, if people are interested, you know, like what we're, of course, we want to do this on a larger scale for the glossary in general, like localization in general. But I think like we just started this effort, localization, the localized glossaries are still not complete. They're still work in progress. So probably not a lot of people in your region know that there is a glossary available in Korean and German. You know, like they don't know that, right? So, and they don't know that it exists and they don't know that they can contribute. Like, so both things are important, right? Like having them knowing that it exists and using it and contributing is another thing. But I think like getting the word out there for people to use it is the first kind of step.  So I think that would be great if you could do that in your, it's a little bit good for the teams as well, because you can then become really the face of that project in your respective regions. And so we created the stack here. Let me just go real quick over it. So basically, just like quick explanation what it is. But it walks you through, okay, first like cloud native definitions in general, right? Like for instance, right now they're really, like really driven by vendors, why it's not ideal and why we need kind of a very easily accessible one. So this is like in general why we need cloud native definitions or the issue with, or the problem statement with the current state without the cloud native glossary, then we talk about the cloud native glossary, right? It's trusted vendor-neutral community driven. That's really important, right, for all these things. And people can keep it up to date, right? Like if you have a vendor definition, the vendor definition is going to be outdated because it's not their priority. Very often it's a marketing tactic. I know it because I'm in marketing. So there's like an SEO search engine optimization you're trying to, so you do it once and then you don't update it. So you see a lot of these things out there and technology changes far too fast for it to let like a stale definition out there that just because like it got a lot of backlinks or whatever pops up at top, it doesn't mean it's the best one, right? So having something that is trusted from the CNCF, vendor-neutral does not bias towards their solution or how they wanna view, let's say, observability or whatever, and community-driven. I think it's really important, right? And then our goal, then how people can help, right? This is not necessarily for the people who want to contribute. First, like just use it, you know? Like when people are, when I learned I'm out of native, link back to definition and so on and then help as well improve it as you use it. And then we wanna talk in general a little bit about contributing in general. So this is like from, a lot of this came from Rael and Victor, they've been talking about this. They also did a KubeCon talk about contributing to docs but like more towards gear towards technology, technology, no, KubeCon, Kubernetes docs, sorry. And so here are a lot of inspiration from there. Like first of all, like what, how can you, what are the different ways of contributing, right? It's not just docs, it's not just code, right? Like they're all these different things, right? And we're gonna talk about this. So where that fits in, why localization matters. This is like what really important for localization teams, right? And then why you should do it, like how you can kind of, the contributor ladder, then like about your team and how to get started, okay? Like if people are interested, what should they do? And then I think like it's basically kind of that's like the resources and so on. So, and again, the wrong one. So, no, I'm always, I have too many tabs open. So basically, and I don't know, like maybe someone has ideas to improve it too, you know what message do you think might resonate? Again, we wanna make sure that we are a team, like all localized people as well, like work together. Like if people start using this and talking at conferences and see something resonates particularly, like just put in like something, you know, let's improve the deck so everyone can improve it. So let's make this not like something, oh, I use it and then I figure it out the best practices and don't report back, right? Like the idea is kind of helping each other.  And it also like if anyone has any other ideas about what we can do to get the word out specifically in the countries or I don't know, doesn't he wanna have an idea? I know it's a very kind of, my only idea was like talking at conferences, but like I'm sure there are other things that we could do. I have a question, more organizational one. Where does the slides live? So is there a folder or something that we can share? There is a, yes, there is a folder and there's a business value subcommittee folder on the CNCF drive. G drive, yeah. Yes, because not everyone has like created. Yeah. I was thinking of maybe we can have one place where the template lives and also the localized ones with their adjustments maybe. So that we have everything on one place. Yeah. And then we can- It would be great because if someone leaves from that team and just like disappears, the next team doesn't have to start from scratch. Yeah, and also people have the chance to yet to see what maybe the other teams adjusted in their slides, yeah. Yeah, it's gonna be difficult sometimes when it's, because if it's all in their legs, it could be fine. But you get a sense, right? There's a lot more text here than on the other one. So probably there's more. Yeah, I think that's a good idea. I think, yeah, I'm probably, I think we can share, make it, because I created a folder promo, cognitive promo or something I called it in that folder. So we can probably share that folder and maybe link to it in the glossary channel on top. You know, and then if anyone has ideas as well, like whatever, whatever, like, I think this is a team effort, right? Like whatever we can find to improve it. Any other ideas, top of mind? No? Yeah, something to continue thinking about. Oh, okay. It's more a question that's better than an idea, but do you have some meetups per country? You, a list of meetups, you know, we are already involved. The CNCF is already involved. I'm not really a meetup guy, so it's not something I'm really used to. CNCF. Yeah, I guess there's a page for that, right? So the CNCF has a page for every, at least every official CNCF meetup. Let me check. Maybe you can go, and I don't know, Berlin. See, Berlin, here you have different ones. So here's where KCDs also live. The KCDs, they put them here. So KCDs, again, for those who don't know, it's Kubernetes communities. These are more conference-driven things, but then they're also like different chapters. So this used to be on meetup.com, but now the CNCF kind of moved, like a year and a half ago or something, they moved. So here we have Canada, and yeah, just go here and see. These are all CNCF, so they should be all relevant. A lot of them are still doing stuff virtually. So if there is no meetup in your region, and the other one would be meetup.com, right? Because meetup.com, that's another one, right? It's not so some, yeah, on both sides. It doesn't have to be a CNCF-affiliated one. It could be a DevOps one. It doesn't matter anyone who is using Cloud Native, but we're not saying it's just the CNCF community, right? So yeah, and like, virtual is always easy because you can do it, right? So it's worth checking maybe a little further. I think most are kind of going back to in-person just because it's so much nicer and people are sick of doing stuff virtually, but I think some are still doing virtually. So yeah, or maybe the other thing is like, whenever you have a trip, a work trip or whatever, like keeping that in mind, you have to go travel, I don't know where, and see ahead of time if there is a meetup there and then say like, oh, maybe I can talk there. And so that's another thing. It's like, it's easy to forget, but like, yeah, you're not gonna travel somewhere specifically for a meetup, but sometimes if you're gonna be there, but that requires a little planning ahead. Yeah. And so the Bengali team's blog is live. Go check that out. Very cool. I mean, it's, I love working on them because I kind of learned so much about the different languages, specifically the ones I didn't know about. And so Bengali, like a whole little story, backstory, which was interesting. The Spanish team is going to go live on the 19th. Oh, I do have the Korean one. I haven't looked at it yet, but that is on my to-do list. And then team Portuguese is TBD. And, okay, I think this is Seoko or Jiwon, or? Yeah, I added it. So in our repository, the sign-up is required for new commits. So every new, I mean, every contributor should use sign-up when they make a commit. So if you don't do the sign-off, then pre-test for a PR will stop you. So it is now actually officially required. So please add sign-off to your commit. So is there any question regarding this issue? But handling this deal for new commits are very easy for us, which we need to guide to new contributors. But when we try to merge commits in branch to another branch, they will generate some DCO issues since we still have some commits which does not have sign-off yet. So folks who are managing your development branch needs to aware of this situation. Maybe we need to disable manually the DCO for those PRs to help PR that want to merge commits in a branch to another branch. So it is kind of reminder. Thank you. But I think now it's automatic, right? Because I remember at some point it was like, oh, you have to sign it. And now as I submitted a PR and already auto-signed it, which... So if we use GitHub, GitHub GUI, then some parts just in automated. I mean, when we make a commit using GitHub GUI, it provides the sign-off option typically. So it is automated. But maybe many people does not use GitHub GUI when they make a new commit. They need to provide an additional option to provide a commit, sign-off commit to... Sign-off commit. So it is kind of... When we make a commit, we use this kind of command. It commit. M option is for message. But with S option, you can give the sign-off to the commit. So if you use just to get a share line, then it is not automated. So content creators need to take care of this. Yeah. It's an extra set. Yeah. Yeah, I guess this is something we have to add somewhere in our documentation, I guess, yeah. Yeah, because we did ask if we could like sign-off if we could like skip it, but the CMCM set up. Yes. So it's something that they need in its global. So, well, yeah, we'll have to add it somewhere. So first thing is really about this. It's like Noah said, we need to type, we need update type so that people can add the sign-off in their commit message. And then we need to find a way to resolve the situation that TCO blocks a PR, which includes many commits in branch to another branch. It still stops our PRs. So we are manually disabled this TCO for those PRs. So we need a way to resolve that. I think that's all for the TCO. Any updates from localization in general that Soko Jihoon wanted to mention? Yes. So I think just one you say it's about French, but since there are many approvals from French. The right representative kind of tell us the news. And that's actually the first language that is up next. So, Davia. Yes. So with the French localization team, we made the initial PR. Thank you, Soko, for review it so quickly. So the PR is ready, but I wait for my two, the two other maintainers to review this one. It's quite complicated right now because one of them is in vacation for like a long time. And the other one is just doing this, I think in the few days are coming. And it will be pretty ready, you know, I think like in maybe one week. And on the other side, I'm currently working on translation on other terms. So it's, it advances slowly, but slowly, but surely. Yes. That's it. Thank you. Awesome. Well, really glad to have you and seeing that things are moving forward. So definitely excited to see when, whenever you can go live and that will, yeah, will be awesome. Just one, just one, one question, sorry. We, the, the dev effort branch is behind master branch from like eight or 10 commits, I think. Should we rebase this one. Before after remade the initial peer. So all of this work for generally for your, your, for your team. So if I. Yeah, I think I can answer your question. In general, you can make a PR open up PR whenever you want. You think. Your development branch need to be updated. So it was. You, you are going to translate and localize your localize the source English document. If you don't update your development branch, your source can be updated. So if you can. Frequently, I suggest to frequently update your development branch to think with main branch. In that way, when you try to dip bars. They were apart development branch into main branch. The conflict will be minimized. Okay. So we should open a new peer when requesting merge from master into dev. Dev or effort. All right. Yes, right. Thank you. Right. Thank you. Okay. Well, then I think I go next. So team Germany is also making super slow progress, but the program is there. So we have six terms ready. That is one more than the last time. And we have three terms in progress. So I'm a little bit disappointed because I made a LinkedIn post and it gained some attention and people were super enthusiastic. But then. Unfortunately, nothing really happened. So there was there were no additional contributions from them. So what I did is I. I looked to the Kubernetes localization efforts and I plan to maybe join joined the Kubernetes localization meetings to see if I can, can somehow get folks from there in. But so my, my first impression was that that I think also with the Kubernetes localization team, team Germany is not really active there as well. But I will have to check that again. So that's, that's my plan. Yeah. And I hope that, that there will be a little bit more, more folks joining. I'm just thinking that actually, I know the LinkedIn post got attention, but at the end it didn't translate, but maybe like for our promo kit for the teams, we could also create like some social media post ideas that the teams could get off. That would be awesome. Yeah, people can just, you know, like just like translate and enter their language and then kind of like, or use as inspiration or whatever. And maybe we could create also like little carts, social media carts with, you know, something that people can, so, so people, yeah, just to give them tools. So I think that's another idea. So we have talks, social media posts is another idea. So if there are any other ideas. So you did have an idea Noah, but you didn't think about it because they were, because I think it's actually a good idea. It's just, it just didn't. Yeah, it's just a difficult. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what. So I have the impression that the German folks are not, are not that, that active in the, in the community. That's one thing. The other thing is that you, you told in the, in the Slack channel, in the Slack chat that maybe all the German folks are using the English terminology. So they don't really use the German localized ones. I don't know. Could be. Yeah. I mean, a lot of people in Germany do speak English and like a lot of tech companies have teams, international teams and they speak, even in Germany, they speak English at work. So that's a reality. So that, like, why would you. People are like, but still, like, still, like some people, you know, it's, it's still easier. It doesn't, it just, I think it's more difficult to make a case between people, among people who actually are very. Comfortable with English. But there are people who aren't, and it means like it's, we should still create it. It's just more difficult to find people. Yeah. I don't see anything for Hindi here, but I see that Kunal is there. So I'm just going to put him on the spot. Yeah. Hi everyone. I think it's been long that I've like attended this particular meeting. So to be honest, like I wasn't in sync with the Hindi team for a while, but I've been like reviewing the chat and like total 15 terms have been localized till now. And four or five of them are, you know, we are working on that. So I wasn't in sync with the team. So I'm not able to like fully update on that part. That's fine. We're still happy that there is like some Hindi representation. Thanks. Okay. And so I don't think anyone, someone from the Italian team. I don't think so. Yes. So Italian team, I think there was also like a little summer kind of whole because they were very active. And at some point I said that's going a little slower, but they have 15 new terms and deaf branch ready to merge and six new terms currently in review. And more coming soon. So, and hopefully next time someone can join this meeting as well would be awesome. Korean. Do you want? Let me. Okay. Let me introduce Korean progress. In case of Korean, actually, you know, you can team. Who is one of the approvals in Korean localization team. He met many students who are willing to contribute to our recovery. And he is, he giving some effort to invite them and guide them. And currently we have six terms are working in progress. We have six PRs. And then one new term has been added. But this work is in our development branch. And maybe when we merge those working in progress here, we will put our development branch approach to main branch so that they can be led. Also, we are, we have, we we use the an issue to trace Korean localization progress. But we determined to use this question capability. I mean, you can find this question in our repository. And we will keep track the Korean localization progress using this question. So in that discussion, we have some guidelines to contribute Korean localization and what are the essential document to be localized. And then people will contribute to us. We could message in this question so that they can be assigned to the job. The reason why we use this discussion is that some localization teams are using issues, creating individual issues for initiating new localization term. But I think sometimes those issues are overwhelming for our repository covers four pages of our issue pages. So we try to reduce that issues. And if we use this discussion, then make Korean contributors don't need to make issues by on. And then this issue can be entrance point of Korean localization contribution. So yeah, that's all from my side. Is there any question regarding Korean localization or those using this question? But I think it's great to see what the other teams are doing to kind of figure out what, because there is no right or wrong, right? There are different ways and different things work for different people. So it's great. It's great. Yeah, it's great to see that. Yeah. Yeah, we also have plan to update. I mean, update how to trace the outdated content. Yungon is preparing a method to keep updating the outdated content. You will put it, the discussion that I mentioned before. Okay. And then team Portuguese. So a new approver, reviewer is coming soon. And then they're working on a guide or checklist for approval. And that's a really good idea to have like how I wish like now maybe a little hint. Maybe they could do that in English too. And then two terms are ready, but need to rebase the main branch first and blog post version one is done. So I guess we should see that very soon. And if we have that like with Korean and Portuguese, we would have all blog posts for every single language that is live now. So, so that's, that's cool. Another thing that's new, I forgot to mention. So we are finally able to record this meeting.  So other people can see that on their own time, specifically with people in, on the other side of the world as Seho Ko and Jihoon can say, it's tough to make it to the meeting. So it's good that we have that. And whenever team members also share their knowledge, it's not like it's there and captured and people can see it later on. Anything else that someone wants to discuss? Oh, Matt Young, hello. Didn't see you. Yeah, I had a conflict from 9 to 9 30, so it's just lurking. Hello. No other discussion topics. Okay, I think we're in a really good shape. I'm excited to see localization efforts moving forward and I really hope that we can do the little promo things localized. So I think I'm excited about that. And I hope that the different teams are excited about that as well to be able to, you know, talk about it and, and, and, and, and different meetups again, again, like please reach out, happy to help however we can. This is good for the project. It's good for the team. So if you have, if there is something we didn't think about, but also if you have other ideas, right, like we have the talks, we have social media posts, like if you have any other ideas that would make it easy for people and we're creating this promo kit, basically, right? It's like, okay, you want to promote it here, the thing. So what else should be in that promo kit? Please let us know. Okay, but I think I had a quick question actually that brought me here today. The landscape graph project has been kind of quietly bubbling along in a good way. I mean, we've been working together last month, a month and a half, some things took a little longer, but we've consolidated down to a serious design that is scalable and, and have started documenting some things and have figured out how to do graph composition, right? So different domain experts from different tags and different groups can contribute in a way that they don't collide and that we can have CI and CD. So one of my questions about the tags that are being defined, not technical advisory groups, but the attributes that are part of the glossary, are those localized? Like I'm to the point where I can start to bring in categories and tags in this new well-formed model that uses GraphQL as an interface definition language and a way to standardize on something that is an actual standard GraphQL as being the API surface in and out of the graph. And so now I'm starting to actually do some specific data modeling and so. Yeah, the question about the tags, are they localized to different languages or are they just? I think so. I didn't pay attention. Yeah, I mean, I know all the definitions, all the, all the terms and things are localized, but the actual metadata. That's. Because otherwise it doesn't make sense, but like so cool. I don't think we have implemented the tags. Not everyone has implemented tags, right? Yes. Currently we implemented tags, but not fully implemented. So we didn't guide each localization teams to add, I mean, their own tags or localized tags. Yeah, but some of, some teams are working on translating and localizing tag itself. So some, some localization teams have, for instance, Korean localization team also try to translate tags, but currently it is in their own development branch so far. And when we put it main branch, then you will see the localized tags in Glossary website. Okay. Cool. Yeah. At this moment it is, this is premature, but you will see the localized tags. So, I think so. Okay, cool. Well then I will, I will plan accordingly so that I can do that. Except localized tags. Do you know, I was planning to implement it such that, you know, whatever is there will bring in, but if some languages, if some, if some tags don't have translations or localization in some languages, that's okay. I won't make it break if they're not there, but if they are there, I can display them. So, you know, you know, code and all of that. So it should be, it should just work, but it'll be the first kind of actual localization testing or, or non. Yeah, so I might find out that somewhere along the linkage in the data model, you know, we're not correctly handling internationalized or localized strings, but I'm pretty sure everything is full unit code throughout so it should be fine. I think if we have some mature localized tags, and I will share it through a link, so that you can take localized tags, but not, not very many tags. We, in case of glossary project, glossary partially we don't, we didn't define not too many, I mean, pure tags. Maybe we have six, seven tags country. Not too many. The tags are very high level, and we're really kind of steering away from having one term with lots of tags, and they're kind of like the idea is to give us a broad overview of how to categorize that term. So it is less is more kind of what we're doing. No, that's, that's perfect. I just want to make sure I was correctly set up to handle multiple languages. Yeah, yeah, and we are I don't know if you were, because I cannot see when people join when I'm sharing, but like at the beginning we're still, because the tags are not fully updated. What we like the way we envision it in the English version is that we're also, we're kind of actually asking or like recommending not to work on the tags for now until that it's implemented so there's no double work so it is a little bit on hold, but I know that your project will take a little, anyways, it's not like it's going to go live. Yeah, yeah, I'll have to catch up. Yeah, I came in at 35 minutes after so, so I'll have to watch the recording. I put in the chat, sort of the current state of the graph with the GraphQL stuff I mentioned. That's more of a, just a bunch of links, but it's sort of a summary of the various pieces of technology that we're bringing to bear in the actual implementation of the graph. Okay, cool. Okay, well, thank you everyone and see you hopefully all next month. Thank you. Stay cool. Have a nice day. Thank you. Goodbye. Bye.


Hey guys, it's Nate A.K., the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. What a difference one day can make. Yesterday we were upset about that crazy objective and today we're excited for the crazy promo and all of the leaked cards that EA are dropping hints to us about in the next upcoming promo. Guys, there is so much to talk about today in relation to the market and to upcoming SBC's objectives and we finally had evolutions. Yes, we finally had some content yesterday that we could actually get excited about and we didn't even get the SBC that we thought we might have been getting. If you're excited for the video today, drop a thumbs up on it, subscribe if you're new. We're going to get into a lot of stuff straight off of the bat. Let's go with the content that we had yesterday and we have to start with evolutions guys. We finally got evolutions once again. We have two brand new evolutions, the Pacey winger and the Bruiser wingback, one of which is free. Of course, the Pacey winger is the better upgrade and just like relentless winger from a couple of weeks ago. It does cost you 50,000 coins or 1,000 FC points. Man, there are a ton of cards that moved like crazy on the market after this was released. You had cards like Polatano, Malcolm, Lucas Vasquez and even Fleming. Some of these cards that I have in my club are some of the most popular items that people are choosing to put into this progression. You take a look at this Malcolm card goes up to an 85 rated item with 91 pace and 88 dribbling with, I think it gives the rapid and the quick step play styles, not play style plus, but play styles onto the card. Look at this Fleming card guys. If you haven't decided who you're doing yet, like at least consider this option, 86 dribbling, 90 pace on her card with the Chelsea links. There's so many great options there in the Pacey winger category. Again, the problem is it costs 50,000 coins. And the way that I look at it is a lot of these cards are pretty cheap or you maybe have them untradable. So 50,000 coins, if you're going to trade to it and then do the evolution, we only have what is it 13 days to get this one done. And there are a lot of downvotes on this one on foot bin just because it costs a decent amount of coins to get it done. But the rapid and the quick step play styles on this card is going to make it feel pretty good in game. Those are really, really good play styles. And if you take a look at a lot of players that can be involved in this, Alicia Lehmann, Athenia is another one with the women's team of Real Madrid links that looks very, very good. Kulusevsky is very tempting for me if I'm going to do any sort of spur squad. Lamella looks really good. Kirillin Nikoli, which is actually going to be a card in the upcoming promo. She looks good. Kubo, who just had the player of the month. Pulisic is a popular card that a lot of people are doing as well. There's so many options for this one. It's just the cost that gets in the way. But it's definitely a better upgrade than the bruiser wingback. And the bruiser wingback is not bad. It's cool because it's almost like the golden globe, right? You're taking a silver card, max 74 rated right back with max 85 pace and max 75 physical. And you're turning it into a gold right back. That looks pretty solid, right? This January card is the example 84 pace with 77 defending and 85 physical. Guys, this is not going to be the most crazy evolution that is ever going to be dropped. This one is, of course, the free one. You get the bruiser play style plus 10 physical and a high defensive work rate on the finished card, which again, it's free. So it's not that bad. One of the craziest cards I think personally that you can put into this is actually Tim Wei with the UVA links. If you take a look at his card, they can be evolved to the bruiser wingback. It goes to 88 pace, 80 physical, 80 dribbling. It looks like a very usable card in multiple different areas of the pitch. He's three star, three star, which is a little bit underwhelming and he would actually end up having medium, as I said, medium high work rates is what the card would end up having in the end because his base card is medium, medium. There's a lot of good options for this one as well.  I think there's a couple of Premier League options. The fundamental maybe is one that a lot of people are doing. Joe Scali from the Bundesliga, another American looks good. Bering Deli goes from 82 pace to 85. Really what you need to look for here is a right back. There's a silver that can get you, that can start you off with about 85 pace. So then you can max it out to 88. Wilson Minafa is another great one you can do for this, especially with the La Liga links and the Portuguese link to do would have their 88 pace with some pretty solid stats. But once again, guys, none of these are like crazy, crazy insane, but it's free. Deandre Jedlin is actually extinct on the market. That's the other thing, right? A lot of these cards, their silvers are actually extinct on the market because people are going and trying to buy these to get them put into the objective and they're extinct because silvers don't have a lot of supply anyways, especially the rares. So a lot of these cards were on the market yesterday and you can see their prices absolutely exploded. Now for some of these cards, like Malcolm is one of the most hyped cards for the Casey Winger objective and evolution. He went from like 700 to like almost 10k and is now back down a crazy amount. Same thing with like Alicia Lehmann. Keep an eye on some of these prices because they could fluctuate today as people get back on the game, see the evolutions and want to get involved with a few of these cards. So just watch out for some of those prices today on the market in relation to these evolutions. But honestly, W, it's finally another evolution that we have to grind and it's only two weeks to do it guys. So it's not that long to do, but it's usable and I know the biggest complaint against those right now is those cards are behind the power curve, which you could argue that they are. But guys, I don't think evolutions are ever going to be extending the power curve because they're objectives. How often do objective cards actually come out onto the game as better cards than what is in packs or even in SBCs? Almost never. So I don't have a problem with that. I think those are nice SBCs or nice evolutions that we had yesterday. Now, speaking of SBCs, we finally did get something yesterday. We had the dynamic duo of the Lyon, Left Back and Left Wing, Jeff Inho and Kyle Enrique. These are a W, man. I mean, it's really, really cheap to get these both done. It's an 86 rated player inside of Kyle Enrique with an 84 squad and the same for Jeff Inho, one Brazilian and one league one required. So it's not that expensive to do, but Jeff Inho's got five star skills, really, really good dribbling. He's got the technical play style, no play style pluses. Enrique has got a couple play styles as well, dead ball, long pass, whip pass and quick step. So if you're running a league on team and if you're on a lower budget, those might be decent SBCs that you can craft, especially with some of the free packs we were getting today. We'll talk about those in a second. Now, also in the store, just to kind of check that out really fast, we did have 50K packs dropped yesterday, along with a brand new team of the week, 550K packs available until Friday. So they were going for that supply, but this team of the week that they put out, in my opinion, might be the worst team of the week that we have yet. Valverde is the face player, a million coins. These prices are very inflated right now. Probably the highlighted team of the week though is definitely the goalkeeper Giroud with 99 reactions, by the way. I want to pack this card. Shoot, I might even just have to buy them to try them out, because that is sensational from EA. What a card. Love the, just the fun they're having with that one there. Obamiang looks really cracked as well. Sterling and Coman were extinct. They're not going to be extinct for long, and their prices are now starting to drop after they were. So be very, very careful with those. Now, there was content that we didn't get yesterday, guys. We didn't get the hero pack. Where was it? Where did EA, why did they not drop this thing, man? Well, again, like we mentioned yesterday's video, it is very common for them to drop a pack or an SBC for a pack after they add it to the code almost right away. But they didn't go ahead and do it yesterday. And there were some heroes that were down a lot, and a couple of them rebounded back. But a lot of heroes are still pretty low as well on the market, as a lot of people are still expecting the hero pack to be today or maybe this weekend at some point. Fodder also is not even down that much because of that expectation. We'll talk a little bit more about Fodder, and that stuff coming very soon. And I have some thoughts about that. Will EA actually drop the hero SBC after we get those free packs today from pre-season rewards? We'll talk about that. But that's enough about content because we have to talk about all the exciting things going on right now in this game. And that is, I mean, partially the loading screen that you saw as we loaded into the video. But this trailblazers promo, which once again, Mbappe being the leaked card that's going to be a part of this promo, is absolutely insane, right? And once again, this card design freaking fire. Love it. GGs and Mbappe's cards are going to look insane on this as well with the colors and everything. EA are going bananas with this promo team, guys. I don't know if I've ever seen the amount of crazy players. It feels like, I mean, some people have been making kind of the joke. It almost feels like Team of the Year-esque or Team of the Season-esque with the big players that we are getting as a part of these leaks for this promo, guys. It's absolutely mental. And Mbappe is going to be in the team. Now, these ratings are all predictions. And once again, this promo is all about giving players a playstyle plus if they don't have one or a completely new playstyle plus if they already have one. And Mbappe's in the promo team. Salah, who has an inform already, is in the promo team. That's one that's a little bit interesting. Breezman is in the promo team. We just keep going. Graham Hansen is in the promo team. What a card that's going to be. It's one of the most cracked cards in this game. Kunde is in the promo side. Like, guys, I'm sure you saw a lot of these leaks yesterday. Rubin Diaz is in. This is unbelievable. Di Lorenzo is the best right back in the Serie A. He is getting a card. Declan Rice is supposedly our SBC. At least the SBC coming probably this Friday or pretty soon during Trailblazers. That could be a really nice card as well. Premier League CDM. Probably need to boost up that pace a little bit. But maybe he has the Bruiser playstyle plus, which would be very good for a defensive mind in midfielder. Stayback CDM. That could be a really cracked card. Carolyn Nicoli. Again, a card a lot of people are putting into the evolution. She's coming in the Trailblazers promo as well. That could be a really nice card. The Brazilian Lynx. That's like a perfect link to Dabinha as well. Or not a perfect link, I don't think. But at least a strong link with NWSL and Brazil Lynx there. Metoma is going to be in this promo. Guys, look at these players. This is insane. Garasi is going to be in the promo as well from the Bundesliga. This promo team looks insane. Now, I do have a couple of words of warning because, as they have said, this is a two week promo. So, is it fair to look at all of these like the Mbappe and the Griezmann and the Salah and think, okay, are all of these going to be in packs Friday? No. I don't think they are. I think this is a two week promo. And I think we're only going to see some of these top tier cards. Maybe Salah is next week. Maybe Griezmann is even next week. Maybe Mbappe is even next week. But we're definitely going to have at least three or four of these top tier cards along with a lot of what seem to be really, really hype cards on the rest of the team. I mean, even on the lower tier, like technically, I guess, Garasi, who's got a lot of hype right now for how he's playing in real life, Jordan Henderson's card being Saudi League but still English. Like, that's going to be one of the fodder cards, but that's not even that bad for a cheap card and going to have a playstyle plus, which is going to make all of these cards unique. I'm assuming EA is going to give out playstyle pluses that would make sense for the card.  Like that wouldn't really make sense. Now Bruiser or maybe like Jockey or Block, that would make sense for a card like Jordan Henderson. But that's what I'm really interested to see. And that's what this promo is all about. These cards, guys, these cards are going to be meta. It's a fact. They are going to be meta in the sense that playstyle pluses have become super, super sought after in this year's game. And a lot of the best cards in the game have them. And people are going to want to try out these brand new promo cards because they're going to have those playstyle pluses, right? Think about a lot of the heroes. Like, again, I'm using Joe Cole in my team and Joe Cole with the technical dribbler. Who trades got it as well? The technical dribbler under the ball control section here, this playstyle plus is absolutely freaking mental. I can only imagine how good Fuchae is in game as well with his 93 dribbling and this playstyle plus. Like, it just changes the way that the card feels on all the different levels with the play styles that are going to be released on these cards. It's just, it's crazy, right? EA is going all out for this promo. And people are seeing that and it's starting to impact the market. Now, we'll get more news on the cards that are probably going to be impacts tomorrow and Friday. Today on Thursday, and we'll talk about it more in tomorrow's video. But as you can see, the leaks are crazy and people are starting to panic on the market because of this. Let me show you guys some of the prices right now and things that are going on on this game on part of the meta market. I mean, prices, guys, are even on cards that are going to be out of packs for this promo. Take a look at Griezmann's gold card. Yesterday, Griezmann started the day even after he was leaked to be in, which means his gold card is going to be going out of packs if he's in this promo team. His card still went down. 88,000 coins is where he is right now. As a lot of people saw all the leaks and like, oh my gosh, I got to sell cards. I got to get out. Usman Dembele wrote to the final 750 coins. He started the day at 860K. A lot of your road to the knockouts are down. Lewandowski, Joao Pedro, Dembele, Di Maria, Modric, these guys are down bad because of how insane these leaks are. Team of the Week, three cards are down. Bellingham, Kovicca, Watkins, a lot of cards right now on this market are down bad. Road to the Knockouts team, one even. Some of them have rebounded back a little bit. But panic selling is what's happening right now in this game because everybody is seeing what it looks like this promo is going to be and they're selling. And honestly, it's made the market really scared, guys. We'll talk about that here in just a second, but it's made the market super duper scared. Now also what we have upcoming that I think is on people's minds as well is we have got packs coming today, guys. And when I'm talking about packs, I'm talking about packs that are going to give out a lot of fodder to a lot of people on this game today. Who played FIFA 23? Probably a lot of us did, right? Who remembers the preseason promo doing the Join the Club objective two for the 82 times 10 players pack and also the Join the Club three objective for packs that at the time we thought were going to be way too good.  Well, those packs are being given out today. Once again, EA said that they will be available after a launch on October 12th, which is today. Not sure what time they will drop, but this is big because a lot of people are going to be getting those packs alongside of rivals rewards today. And I got to be honest, guys, I think we're saving a man. You see the gravity of this promo team. Now you know that this last promo team, the Road to the Knockouts team two has had a pretty high pack weight and they are live cards. But you think about if you're going to take a chance at hitting a promo item, even if there are only half of these special cards that we just looked at going to be in packs, I would rather take a chance at hitting a Trail Blazers card with a play style plus added to it with all these big names. I'm going to take a chance on that instead of a Road to the Knockouts. That's the way that I'm looking at it. And I think a lot of people are going to save their packs today. And I think that actually will impact the market a little bit too, because there may not be as much of a market rise today on a lot of cards because I think people are still feeling very scared, right? Yesterday after content, even though we did not have the HERO SPC, HERO prices didn't really rebound up that well. FUTURE is a card we just looked at. He's a card that I've had my eye on. FUTURE yesterday was around 520,000 coins before the content drop, which was down from where he usually sits at about 600K. He maybe bounced back up to like 550, right after there was no HERO SPC, but he is back down. A Betty Pele, which was a card that dropped off a lot yesterday, he was like 680,000 coins. He's under 600K right now. He has dropped even further because of just the lack of really demand right now. Everybody is scared and waiting to buy teams until tomorrow on Friday. I still think, guys, if you're looking to buy cards for your team with how the market sits and how it looks right now, I would still be waiting until tomorrow, sometime on Friday, around the content drop, maybe a bit later at night. We'll discuss that more in tomorrow's video as we'll learn more about the market today and learn more about this promo and how it may impact the market. But usually on Thursdays in terms of the market, we talk about investing for rivals rewards. And if I have to be completely honest with how dead and how, I mean, honestly, why it scared the market seems, I don't know if I really want to invest in anything today, guys. I'm going to be very careful with my coins. If I really buy anything, it's going to be a low tier card that I think may rise up a little bit because if it's such a low tier card, like probably something under 30, 40,000 coins, that people who are playing and getting rivals rewards today, maybe more casual type players would think, okay, I'm still going to go out and buy a card like this for my team because it's an upgrade and I got coins today. Maybe I'll take in the tradeable rewards from rivals. That's the type of stuff that I would maybe look at today, like maybe a player like Gavardiol who was 11,000 coins yesterday, he's 9,000 coins now after he dropped off. Maybe a guy like Gavardiol goes up to like, I don't know, maybe from like 8.5K as he was, he was 8.7, 8.4.  He's already on his way back up. But maybe he goes back to like 10K. That's the type of rise that could potentially happen today, but it's got to be on the very low tier, I think. And it wouldn't be a lot of cards. I would just be very careful trading today because it feels like not too many people actually want to go out and buy. Now the cards today that people might actually have interest in investing in would be these. Road to the knockout team twos. And here's what I have to say about this. With the promo that we have upcoming, depending on what other leaks that we get today, if we start to get official stats leaks and the cards don't look that good, you know what it honestly is, guys? It's the opposite of last week. Remember last week when these cards were tweeted out and we saw the big tweet with all the cards in it. Everybody was like, nah, man, that promo team looks mid. It looks terrible. The predicted stats did not look good and the player selection didn't look that great. Well, what happened? The cards got boosted way bigger than we thought and they're actually turning out to be really, really packable and pretty cheap. I can't imagine that these cards are going to be super cheap. I mean, with the playstyle pluses and how meta they're going to be and the big name players that are here, I can't imagine they're going to be super cheap and super packable this upcoming weekend or else this market's really going to be in trouble. So keep an eye on Road to the Knockouts team too. Whether you buy them today with marquee matchups, right? Every single week we get marquee matchup supply, which drags down the market and it's actually been a decent time to trade in the last couple of weeks as well. Whether you're looking into that sort of supply by time or if you're going to wait potentially for a Friday morning panic-selling drop-off type of time, watch those Road to the Knockouts today. There might be an opportunity to buy a couple of those at some low prices just because there's still live cards and a lot of people will want them for their teams if the new promo cards are very expensive and unobtainable for a lot of people. So just be careful on the market today. Sometimes guys, when the market is just dropping and not a lot of people want to buy, it's just better to sit there with your coins or just do the grindy methods on the market where you're just bidding. When there's supply like there was, even supply like there's going to be today, guys, maybe just grinding the bids on SPC fodder could be a move, right? SPC fodder is still very hyped at the moment. Prices are not down that much after we didn't get the Hero SPC because people still expect the Hero SPC soon, which is a very good expectation to have. I do think it's still coming. I sold my 88s and 87s and 86s that I had, except for a couple of them. I sold most of them into the hype yesterday right around right here. 88s were about 18,000 coins. They went all the way down to 16K. And right now they're almost 17,000 coins again. I think people are holding their fodder cards because they expect the SPC to come. Now with Marquis matchups, it could drop a little bit today. And if we don't get it, you will probably see some fodder dip a good amount more because people be like, oh my goodness, we're going to have Friday content with a bunch of packs in the store. That's going to make fodder drop and it very well could. But again, guys, we have SPC still like this. Layout, player of the month was leaked. Young men's son, player of the month. In the next couple of days, whether it's one today, one tomorrow, or maybe both tomorrow and Friday, I'm expecting to see a Layout and a son PLTM. And they might be very overpriced and expensive, but those are more SPCs that people could be going and crafting and getting done, especially because we're going to be getting these packs, man. And since these packs are going to be put out, EA definitely know that they got to put some SPCs out. And they might make the SPCs even a little bit more expensive because they know that people are going to have a little bit extra fodder from those preseason rewards to do SPC. So fodder is still going to be very in demand. If you still have it, I think I'm okay holding. It's a little bit more risky again. You need the hero pack or maybe a big Layout that's a really well priced SPC to make it move. But in general, the 88 rated prices that we saw and that we bought at on like Saturday and Sunday at like 12K, that was probably a place where these cards will never go again.  There's a lot more SPCs that are out there and the potential for more to come. So fodder is definitely a very important watch today on this game. If we do get the hero pack again today, there probably would be a bit more panic on the hero cards. And there may even be a little bit pre-content today if we do get it. And then of course, if we don't get it then I would say then after that we'd be looking towards a timeframe of maybe like Saturday, Sunday, Monday of the next week before we get it. I don't know if they drop it on a Friday, it's possible, but that's not really something that EA would do on most promo Fridays. They want the focus to be on the cards in packs and not as much a gamble SPC like a hero pack in the store. So that's going to be the video for today, guys. If you're going to be on the market, continue to be careful, get those champs qualifiers games in, get those maybe last-minute rivals games in before awards. And if you want to trade a little bit maybe you look at the brand new team of the week as well because these cards are still pretty rare. Hop on bids during rivals rewards because people will be taking a few tradeable packs. But again, I think a lot of people are going to be saving their packs. I know I am. I'm saving my rivals rewards and I'm saving my pre-order pre-season packs, the 8210 stuff. I'm saving those for tomorrow and Friday because why not, man? Those cards look too good and the big name players are there. I'm going to save them and hope to hit something big on Friday for this insane-looking Trailblazers promo. So if you are excited for the promo that's coming tomorrow, drop a thumbs-up on the video, comment that below if you do any of any questions. And of course, subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan from the Count and see you in the stream today. Peace.
