Good day from TFNN. Welcome to the July 8th, the magnificent Monday edition of today's Trader's Edge show. I'm your host, E.B. Perseverance Rhodes, who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope everyone out there is having a great day. Hey, let's make sure we have an extraordinary one. And, of course, the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us, not to us. That's right. When you and I make that one little two-by-four shift, it means we can find the gift in every set of circumstance that life is going to toss at us. Today, you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We're going to go figure out what the bulls and the bears, what the buyers and the sellers are communicating to you and I just passed, yep, 8 o'clock in the morning. That's right. If you're listening in at the normal timeframe we'll make today's show as pertinent as we can right now. We're coming to you live at 8.07 a.m. And at 8.07 a.m., we've got the Dow equity futures down about 70 points. S&P futures off six. NASDAQ down 29, all about a quarter of percent, three tenths of a percent to the downside. Gold's trading up six bucks. Silver is up 10 pennies. Of course, I want to hear from you. So, give us a call at<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you can't call in, let those fingers do the walking. That's right. Send me an email. Steve at TFNN.com inside the subject heading, please put radio show question. Are tigers then? Well, any ping we'll do. So, let's go ahead and get this show started on magical, magnificent Monday. Of course, this is Tiger, financial news network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to LUS Show. So, as we indicated, you've got U.S. equity futures down. Gold's up six bucks. Silver up 10 pennies. Let's begin with, you know, what is it that we should be watching during the day here? What's going to be important? And I think that the level to be watching, let's just watch, take a look at the ES mini. Let's take a look at our two-hour timeframe chart out here. Now, look, our role, yours and mine, for whatever timeframe it is that we trade, is always to be able to identify support and resistance. Really should be one of the first things that we do out here and then also any kind of topping signals, bottoming signals and so forth. And then we take a look at the ES mini on the two-hour timeframe. We've got one of those rose momentum indicator tops out here. We had price moving higher, doing less relative energy. We had some bearish reversal signals to confirm that top. Eventually price began trading below support. That was at six o'clock in the morning on Friday, support being the bottom of its profile for that specific timeframe. But where price and that topping signal, all the topping signals mean is, hey, I'm going to go ahead for that specific timeframe and send price back to test its level of support. Well, one level of support or another level of support on a two-hour timeframe chart for the ES mini is where price broke out. And that's the red solid line that you see on my screen here for watching us on Tiger TV. That price point is $29.76. That began on the bar at four o'clock in the morning on July the third. Yeah, July the third. It's a two-hour chart that we're looking at out here. The reason why that's where the breakout began versus coming all the way back to, let's say, 1,600 hours on July 1st, where you've got a very clear swing point is because from the trading session that you and I just looked at, the low, which is $29.76, you then had nine successive closes where the close of each of those candles was above the close of the bar four bars earlier. That created where price had broken out. It's not unusual for price to pull back to a level where things broke out. That's why it's on the countertrend rally to the upside where price broke down. Here we're looking at breakout. So $29.76 is a real key level. Now, how do you and I know that? Well, Friday's action got rockin' and roll into the downside and price did what? Tested and rejected $29.76. That is the key level. If price closes below $29.76 on any two-hour timeframe today, and this will be especially helpful at 1.10 in the afternoon, here's what you would anticipate. An A to B equals CD to the downside out here. And that would give you a price projection. Just your one-to-one level would be $29.63. Remember, only 40% or 60% of the time will we see an A to B equals CD complete at its one-to-one level. So then you have to consider the other areas. The other areas being 1.272 expansion. That would be $29.53, and then $29.41 would be the 1.618. We're not there yet. Price is trading above $29.76, where $29.83, that is key support. Watch that. It wouldn't surprise me to see price go back down there, tested and rejected. But again, if we do see a close below that level, well, then you know that those buyers that were there on July 3rd, well, they're still vacationing somewhere, as many are. So to me, that's the key. That's the most important chart and most important thing for you to be looking at during today's trading session. So whether it's 8.11 in the morning or whether it's 1.11 in the afternoon out here. If we take a look at the Dow Equity Futures contract for that specific timeframe, well, price here on a two-hour... Ah, that's the five-hour timeframe. I'm going to go grab the 120. Let me do that. Which you did see a topping signal inside the five-hour timeframe out here. You also see that same pattern, the same pattern meaning the rows went to indicator top on the two-hour timeframe for the Dow Equity Futures contract. And again, it just simply went ahead and priced down to the... It's breakout area. And that level is $26,762. Yes, you should be writing those levels down on a pad of paper. If at 1.12 in the afternoon, price is trading below that, well, then what you know is you have an A to B equals CD to the downside. With an initial price projection, well, we'll give that to you here momentarily. The 1 to 1 area would be $26,672, 1 to 1.272, $26,596. Again, I'm not saying we're there yet. That's what to watch for. Price is trading on the two-hour timeframe, by the way, below Stevie's green line. That's right around the 26,867 level out here. So, and price is trading right at the bottom of its current profile. So, watch 26,762. We're simply going to make it easy for you out there. The two-hour chart for the Russell 2000, what did it do? Give us a topping signal per se out here. Excuse me. Not like the ES two-hour or the Dow. Nonetheless, when price pulled back on Friday morning, it found support at 1563.70. That's its breakout level. And so you're going to want to watch that. And the only one that wasn't really participating in the game was the NQ. Now, when I say not participating in the game, what I mean is that price actually closed below 78.30 out there. So, is the NQ generating some kind of message force? Look, this formed a roads momentum indicator top. That was at 2 o'clock in the morning. You got the bearish reversal signal at 4 o'clock in the morning. Again, I'm referring now to July the 5th. That was on Friday. It says, okay, I'm going to send price down to test support. That was 78.30. Price actually closed below that at 10 o'clock in the morning. Out there, we're trading below that level right now. So, the key level to be watching here in the NQ today this morning is going to be 77.97.25, the low of Friday. If we see a close below that, let me give you the A to B equals CD. Let me see, here we go. Okay, so the A to B equals CD pattern here for the NQ would take us down to the 1-1. It would be 77.68 out there. The 1-1.27277.37. Key number for the NQ today, 77.97.25. This is Steve Rhodes coming to you live early from Delray Beach, Florida. Good to be with you on July the 8th.

Will this week see more highs in the averages? And then we've got a question from John and the Tiger's Den. Wanted to take a look at the S&P 500 chart specifically to see what it is that we see out here. So now that also being said, because you didn't want to look at the futures contract, give me a second to pull that up. But even though that's what you asked for, and I'm going to give that to you, and you're asking about the S&P 500, the more important chart, believe it or not, is going to be the NASDAQ. But I'm going to give you the information that you're asking for about the S&P 500. But let me clarify for you what it is that I mean. And only because I have these charts here open just to make it easier. If I take a look at the ES mini, just an example. There's no real topping signal that I have out here when I take a look at the weekly chart for the ES mini. So just that as it is. And the same thing is going to be true when I take a look at the S&P 500 cash indices or the SPI or anything. No topping signal for the patterns that I use out here. That is not the case inside the NQ. That's why I believe the NQ is really more important to be watching than the S&P 500. Now this is the weekly chart here for the NQ right now. And what we can see is that price has begun moving higher doing less relative energy. That is one of the elements of the roads momentum indicator top or bottom signal. In this case, the topping signal. If at the end of this week we see some type of bearish reversal candle, it would confirm that pattern. But we can also see at 76.97 that Stevie's green line. So really we'd be looking for not just a bearish reversal candle this week, which would be a topping pattern. The NASDAQ can go ahead and take the markets lower. We would also want to see a close blow 76.98. That number is going to change obviously, but that is the general vicinity. And if I do the same with all the other weekly chart formations out there, same thing is going to come into play. No topping signal per se. With regard to the S&P 500, we don't know whether there's a bearish reversal candle that's going to form this week, which is why we start with the shorter term time frame charts like we did at the open this morning, the open of the show I should say, in taking a look at the two hour time frame because I believe though the messages from the two hour charts are the ones that are most important, at least right now on July the 8th. With regard to the S&P on a weekly basis, the cash indices out here, disregard the task market profiles that show up on this chart out here. And if we take a look at it, the reason I say there's no topping signal per se, there's no topping pattern. There's no road momentum indicator top as there was back here at the highs. The highs that I'm referring to is back in September, October of 2018 out there. So there were the patterns. You also had the TD setup pattern going on. She had a combination of things that just said warning Will Robinson. We don't have that in place right now. With regard to what's the S&P 500 going to do. So your question is in the both of an essence. Well, in Alex's cases, are things going to move higher? Well, Alex, your question with regard to things moving higher, hopefully I'm tying this stuff together well enough for everybody out there. It's going to be a price point inside the ESMini of $29.96. Sorry about that. So I'll call it $29.97 out there. If price were to close above that, Alex, then the signal is that that price should move higher, whether it's for the entire week that I don't know, but should at least test then Friday's highs out there. Friday, we saw price test both the prior days high and prior days low, generated key reversal session out here. But not until price, and there's a new profile that is attempting to form support is $29.51. I won't know if this profile is going to take hold until tomorrow. We're using Stevie's Advanced Doppler system out here. But $29.97, Alex, in the ESMini, $29.97, John, in the ESMini will be helpful to you as well with regard to what the intent of the markets are. As long as we're on this page, we can see you've got new potential profiles in the NQ, as well as inside the Dow. Now, the beauty of that is it provides us with support and resistance that you or I would otherwise not know, and it's very relevant out here. So if the NQ is going to, we took a look at the weekly chart out here, and this is the beauty of assessing things and putting together, at least from Stevie's perspective out here, we know about price moving higher doing less relative energy out there inside the NQ. I'm also going to go ahead and pull up the NDX100. We can see, in essence, the same thing. They're the same pattern play out on the weekly timeframe. So inside the NQ with its new profile, $77.63 is going to be a key level out here. What we can see is that's the bottom of the box of the profile. And if we were to get it closed below that level, it would be the first time closing below support, if you will, coming off of the June 3rd low out there. So that could be a potential change in trend signal. So also you, Alex, you'd be watching the $77.63 area out here. Here is the weekly chart for the NDX100. You'll see it's, in essence, doing the same thing. There's a little black diagonal line drawn on my chart out here. Now the number, or Stevie's green line, for it would be $76.37. So approximately a close below that on a weekly basis says we could pull back. Now pull back to where? Well, pull back would be either the low of the June, so that June 3rd area, or you could see price pull all the way back to $64.1298. If we do get a top out here, I would say more likely than not, a price move down to $64.1298 inside the NDX100 would be the likely. And that's coming from the weekly timeframe charts out here. And so I believe that it is the NDX100. I believe that it is the NQ that are going to be the indices for us to look at. Now what happens if, in fact, price continues to motor on higher out here? I believe we're still in a consolidation pattern. Here is the S&P 500 you asked for specifically. If we take a look at the S&P 500, I would just simply connect the resistance stock. Dot, in essence, would be the high of January, the week of January 22nd. The high of the week of September 17th. This is 2018. You'll see that diagonal line. This week that number would be approximately 3025 out there. So price could bounce up to the 3025-ish level. And with the daily profile that is out there, you close above that, that would be your signal that that would be the pattern that would be under way out there. The New York Stock Exchange is saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold your horses kind of thing out here. It's showing that it's got some type of bug, so to speak. I don't know if this is just a cold, you know, or if this is going to turn into something more than a cold out here. And price has been moving higher, but it's been doing it in the face of a falling advanced decline oscillator reading. Those are the green diagonal lines you see on the upper portion of my screen and the lower portion of my screen. They say to be careful out here. The pattern may just be nothing more than a retracement. That I don't know, but because you and I have these new market profiles, it makes it easy for us to understand is it just a retracement, meaning price pulling back to support, or is it something more than that? So John and Alex, in answering your question, hopefully I've done with regard to what is it that we see from a weekly perspective scenario and the S&P 500 on a weekly basis, I don't have a pattern that is as significant as the one in the NQ or the NDX100. And so therefore, let's focus our time there as to what the market's true intent is for this week. We'll be right back.

And you can reach out to me if you're listening live. I'd love to hear from you. 877-927-664. You can send me an email at TFNN.com. Just put radio show question if you would in the subject heading. Of course, in the Tiger's Den any ping will do. So what do we want to take a look at next? No questions in the queue. I'm going to assume that folks want to go take a look at Goldilocks. So if we take a look at Goldilocks out here, what's the key for us to be looking at? Well, the key is going to be its TAS market profile support and resistance out here as we put those up on the screen for you. You can see that Friday's action out here. We saw that move lower about 20 bucks or so a little bit more than I think interest session price inside the Gold contract got down on Friday to a low of $13.88. Now at $13.92.50, price by the way closed back above that level, $13.92.50. That's the price of the daily profile. It'll require probably two closes below that level. $13.92.50 to suggest that a change in trend is underway. I suggest that you be cautious on Gold if you are long. Put your stops in play out here. There are just simply too many topping signals to suggest otherwise. They're all over the place when we take a look at Gold. What do you mean a jelly bean? Long term wise, we've talked about this. $14.34 is a key level out here. It takes us back into August of 2013. That stopped the advance of Gold at the same time that it was doing that on a weekly basis out here. Gold was completed in A to B equals CD out here. It did that at the $14.38 level. It created a shooting star last week based on the close was a close below the low of that shooting star. Yeah. And that was followed through to the downside. This pattern says be cautious out here. I didn't say I have to close out the trade. I said make sure that you adjust your stops. The weekly has a topping pattern. The monthly that's what we're looking at here right now has a topping pattern. The daily has a topping pattern. A TD set up that's what we're looking at here. That's what we're looking at here. That's what we're looking at here. Where bar eight was the actual high out there if price closes below that 1392 50 what I want you to anticipate is a pullback to support to where price broke out most recently. That's the price point to 1336 60 will price stop there on any decline. I don't know. I don't think that's what we're looking at here. That's what we're looking at here. That's what we're looking at here. 1660. You then looking at 1272 out here. So just simply be careful. Support has not broken because support is not broken. I can't give you the signal to say hey you got just must be aware of the topping patterns that are present inside of Goldilocks and then some intraday levels to be watching to the downside 1400.50 and 1394 20. Those are on a 30 minute break basis breakout levels out there. So that's what I see when I take a look at Goldilocks. I suggest being very very careful out there. Let's take a look at the lights weed crude haven't looked at that for a while. Let's go see what patterns we have going on inside of light weed crude. Let's actually find the contract out here. Let's put it up on our screen. You've got lights weed crude. Is it the is it's trading out at 5738 down 13 pennies out here. Let me just expand this out and get rid of a few things so we can actually read it. Okay. So if we take a look at lights weed crude right now what we know is that price last week looks like Wednesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, seven along those lines 56.07. That's the bottom of its daily profile out here. So prices trading within the range of its daily profile the top of which is 59.93 the bottom of which is 56.07 out there. If we take a look at lights weed crude the daily time frame out here we can see that the bar following bar nine of the TD set up nine count was the high out there. So there's a topping signal. We can also see that price pulled back and tested not just was a test in the bottom of that daily profile was also testing Stevie's red line at 56.51. So here's the key with regard to lights weed crude. We know it's got on a daily basis got a topping signal price now when you get that topping signal what's it do it sends price back to support well we can see that support is held inside lights weed crude if price close below 56.07 price will move all the way back to its breakout area that was at 51.72 that's the price point out here resistance 63.02 but at this stage of the game on a daily basis lights weed crude has generated a topping signal that's what we see there silver we haven't looked at the silver out here can we look at silver sure we can do anything we want let's do this let's go take a look at that put up a silver contract take a look at its profiles out here and as we do that we can see that price is trading below the bottom of its box out there so give me a second I want to pull up a silver on my other system as well out here just look for patterns so very interesting so this morning the countertrend rally that's we have to call it because on Friday price close below support out there and if we take a look at this morning the actual high this morning is 1514 the bottom of the box is 1514 so watch silver today maybe that's going to give you a nice clue with regard to what its intent is today it's signaling potentially that the countertrend rally is over I look at a 30 minute chart out here for some type of signal I don't have that in play as we speak and I don't have resistance out here till 1536 so I'm not seeing a signal here at 837 AM something at 137 in the afternoon out there with regard to silver we know that the prices below the bottom of its up profile out here if I pull over the silver contract and take a look at any other patterns we can see the rose momentum indicator bottom but nothing here ups I didn't really well I take that back there is a guy I take that back I stand fully corrected out here there was a topping pattern out here inside of silver it's called the Gertley cell pattern it looks like this we can go ahead and hopefully we can do that yeah we're going to color that pattern in just so you can see that so this is in honor of Larry Pesavento who's going to follow this show obviously live and then it would be David White at the one o'clock show but here is the Gertley cell pattern that formally get rid of the A to B equal CD out there and so we've got a confirming pattern here confirming topping pattern reason why I say because of the bearish and golfing candle session that had form so price has gone back to support and this shows a different profile this is showing a different profile don't go with this profile we're going with the profile out here on my e signal system out there so silver says that hey it has formed a top now every Gertley cell pattern has five potential did I say potential I mean five potential outcomes out here and if we take a look at a couple more of those outcomes before we go to the breakout here the next outcome to the downside $14 and 83 cents if you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment the Tiger first mortgage program may work for you the security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in st. Petersburg, Florida the tax act of 2018 set up tax free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax profits which makes these lots valuable the investment is anywhere from 30,000 to 75,000 the interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis according to bankrate.com the best rate for a four-year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1% a $50,000 investment at a normal four-year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of $1,550 per year or $6,200 over the four-year period that same $50,000 investment in the Tiger first mortgage program would give you $3,500 per year or $14,000 over the four years which would you prefer $6,200 or $14,000 of interest on your investment if you'd like more information about the Tiger first mortgage program you can call me at<PHONE_NUMBER> that's<PHONE_NUMBER> if you haven't checked out the newsletters page of TFNN.com what are you waiting for all of the TFNN newsletters are informative up-to-date affordable and must have for every trader looking to gain a competitive informational edge in today's markets TFNN newsletters cover every aspect of the markets to offer you the very latest in market news plus new subscribers get to test drive our newsletters risk-free for 30 days from all aspects of the markets including stocks, bonds metals, commodities and tech there's a newsletter to fit your needs exclusively from TFNN stay informed each day you trade and get the competitive edge that will help you stay ahead of the game visit our newsletters page by going to TFNN.com and click the newsletters button near the top of the page TFNN.com educating investors biotech is booming but for how long whether you think the biotech bull has room to run or has run its course trade LABU or LABD daily S&P biotech 3 times bull and bear ETFs visit directioninvestments.com slash biotech today an investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the direction shares carefully before investing the prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about direction shares to obtain a prospectus or summary prospectus please contact direction shares at<PHONE_NUMBER> the prospectus or summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing an investment in the funds is subject to risk including the possible loss of principal the funds are designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors such as traders and active investors distributor 4 side fund services LLC don't forget you can listen to TFNN live on your mobile device 24 hours per day go to TFNN.com then hit watch tiger tv that's TFNN.com then hit watch tiger tv let's get into the next presentation folks ruby the Tigers Den wants take a look at Coco out here so if we take a look at Coco speaking of Coco how about that how about the tennis star Coco from down right there, right here in delivery beach so I don't know what she plays next but with you. Price is taken on resistance. That's the top of it. So, uh, daily profile. And that's at twenty five fifty two year twenty five sixty five out there. Now closing above that would be bullish. You see series of higher lows and higher highs out here. So everything here looks pretty good. Um, and looks like, you know, the target might be up in the twenty eight thirty four area. We're not going to go there because we've got other people who don't know. Okay, caution. So are you in the trade? I don't know if you're in the trade. You're asking for a potential exit. I don't see. I would just suggest to stop as we speak right now, knowing because we don't know if price is going to get the end of the day. We don't know if they know how I hate that test that those those words out there. Um, we don't know if at the close today, price is going to close over resistance to top of that profile or not out there, but we're going to go take a peak on that. So what we're going to see out is this move higher, Ruby is being done with less relative energy. That alone is not an issue. It can become an issue if you were to see some type of bearish reversal signal. Let's do a wave count out here from the lows, the low that my eye picks my eye spy with my little eye a low from March 21st. So what we'll see out here, and that doesn't necessarily have to be the low that we're going to have to see the bottom with nine count bottom that formed back in May and but that would give you either wave six or seven ear f out here. We know to always be watchful for wave number. Uh, seven letter G. No TD set up nine count patterns or anything like that, but price moving higher. Doing with less relative energy out there. Just be cautious. That's all I'm going to show you. I'm going to show you what that shows us. We look at the weekly time frame chart. Now this is the continuous contract for Coco. You can see how the actual high out here back in April 2018 was your TD set up nine count pattern. We do the waves on a weekly basis. Your wave number five to the upside out here. Um you can see a weekly profile level. It's also being dealt with. So you've got up in this time frame chart. You can see that you can see that you can't exit necessarily other than just continued to be cautious. In other words, I say no reason to exit. You know, it's almost as if I was going to say, Hey, you should exit. Well, then that means you should go short. Well, no, not necessarily out here. You can see the nice roads momentum indicator bottom that Coco formed this on a monthly basis. So this is longer term back in July. That was in 2017 out here. So that's what we know right now. That's what we know right now. At 8 45 in the morning, prices over resistance, but we do know there's resistance out there. And in fact, we also know there's another level of resistance longer term resistance out here. This is taking the continuous contract for Coco. This is a monthly basis out here. It takes us back to 1997. And what this does this generates its monthly horizontal resistance. And what you'll see out here, there's been four closes Ruby at the 25 85 level, we're trading at 25 65 as we speak. That is resistance. You'd love to see if you're long price close above that level. If it closes above that level, that suggests to move back to these highs out here in April of 2018. I can turn on the midpoint lines as well. The midpoint lines, which is where you can see the highs and lows in the midpoint lines, which is where you can see a reversal in trend out here. For example, those are the little dotted lines that just showed up. If you look at the lows back here in 2017, it was at that midpoint level 17 63 where price found support. Likewise, when we come back and take a look at where resistance was in April of 2018, it was also at that midpoint level at 28 59. So let me sum it up for you like this. You know, it's a top of a daily box, which is slightly above or the top of the weekly box, which is slightly above. You've certainly got this monthly horizontal trading range area. All this just simply suggests adjusting stops inside this trade inside this long trade out here, not to exit it and most certainly not to go short just yet because there is no such signal. You just simply know you're in trouble. I have just put on as you've noticed the fasten seatbelt signs for Coco or cuckoo for Coco puffs out there. So thanks for asking to hope that that helps you out. Now Tucker Tucker wants to go take a look at natural gas out here. If we go take a look at natural gas, it's trading out at 2.403. This is the September contract for natural gas on this on a daily basis. So we know that prices trading rates closed over that 2.37 level on Friday signaling that hey, it wanted to continue to move higher. Let me try to get my other charts up and going here just so we can see if there's any other signals out there. It's just taking me a moment to get down to the end. So there we go. We got natural gas. We got. Do we have September? We do not. I've got August. What I can tell you is that it's a continuous contract. So Tucker apologized for this. It'll take too long to reset the symbols, but that's okay. We're in good shape to go ahead and use the continuous contract. Disregard price per se out here. If you're trading the actual contract. But if we look here, what natural gas generated was a rose woman to indicator bottom signal. Did that when you had that bull sash candle on June 1st? Yeah, that's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. Those signals, those black diagonal lines being drawn. You got a bullish reversal signal. That's how the market talks, walks and squawks communicates to both you and I price was above Stevie's red line on that level. You're trading above the daily profile. There is no wave count for us to be worried about your only in wave number three out here. It looks like it wants to get to you. Let me try this. When I say, let me try this. Let me pull back here. Do I have natural gas on my synthetic contract out here? Do I do? Why do I? I don't. Odd. I don't okay, so I don't and let me come back here to this. I want to put on a weekly time frame profile for you, see if there was anything wrong with that. Let me turn this off. Let me turn this on. And let me make sure I turn on the weeklies as well. I'm just trying to provide Tucker with an idea. So Tucker, as we put the weekly profiles on here, you can see this for you can see this for yourself live. It would appear to me that what natural gas is doing is making a run up to the top of that weekly profile, and that's at 2.49 one out there. That is the September contract. Is there something wrong with that weekly chart out here? Yeah, I don't see anything out there that is of significance. So just looks to me like you've got a little bit more rally at least left inside of the move higher of natural gas. That ought to take price up to $2 and 49 cents. Steve Roger T FNN.

This show being recorded this morning between eight and nine. It's 8 54 in the morning, but making the show as pertinent as we can for you at 1 54. If you're listening in tomorrow, we'll be recording it at the normal time from one to two. I'll be off Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week. Presently the Dow equity futures down about 78 points S and P off seven Nasdaq down 28. Um Apple if we take a look at what's going on in the pre market out here, Apple closed its session on Friday, 204 23 trained down to a one and a quarter, not unexpected. That is trading lower out here. I know you're going to say, What do you mean, Steve? Look, there's a handful of tools that you and I use to help us identify when markets top and bottom. One of those is the is the wave count out here. If we take a look at the wave count, that's a Chapman wave count. Not the Chapman wave pattern for that. You need to buy Basel's book and attend his workshops and will teach you exactly how it is that he does what he does out here. If you take a look at Apple, this by the way, formed a bottom with the TD set up nine count the bar following bar nine that was on June the third out there. So that pattern was in play. And now if we do our wave count to the upside, what we know is that Friday's intraday high got it to wave number seven. That is letter G. Watch the 200.85 price in the pre market that by the way is TV's red line. We're trading at 201 20 out there. Um so watch that now wave seven can be extended if we see a higher high today. Wave seven just simply gets extended out here. So Stevie's red line or green line actually is what you're watching on a three time frame charts out here. Price is trading above its daily profile. That's a 200.85 also. So where Stevie's green line is so that's going to be important. The price closes below that level. You're looking at 197 69 or maybe even the bottom of that daily profile at the bottom of that level. So that's about 192 41. So folks stay tuned. Obviously you've listened at nine. Larry Pes eventos up next. If it's one, it's a David White. Our favorite polar bear. So have a magnificent Monday. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. July the night. Have a great day, folks.


Hi, Tony here. It's shapegram time. Let's use our shapegram skills to make stop motion animations. Stop motion is a technique in which objects are changed bit by bit between frames. A frame is a single image in a series of images. When multiple frames are played in succession, you've got an animation. Maybe you've seen a flipbook. When each page is briefly seen one after another, you see an animation. Think of each page of a flipbook as a frame. We can make digital stop motion in Google Slides. Each slide is a frame. There are no transitions or motion effects applied in stop motion. The animation is all done by making small changes to what's on each slide. We can tell stories, communicate information, and show what we know through stop motion. There are many animation techniques you can use, and I'd like to show you some of them. I've opened a blank Google Slides presentation. I'm going to make a thunderstorm animation, so I draw clouds on slide one. In the film strip on the left side of the screen, I click slide one to make sure it's selected. I click the edit menu and choose duplicate. Now I'm on slide two. I draw a lightning bolt. I want to see what this two slide animation looks like on a loop, so I click slideshow. I hover over the bottom left corner and click the three dots. I then hover over autoplay and click loop. I then click play. You can see that the slideshow continuously switches between the two slides. I press escape on my keyboard to exit the slideshow. I want the clouds with no lightning on the screen longer, and I want the lightning bolt to flash faster. So here's what I do. I click the slide in the film strip that has no lightning. I duplicate it. I click the slideshow button. I hover over the bottom left, go to autoplay, and click loop. I change the timing to one second. Now let's play. My changes make the lightning appear on the screen for one second, and then the clouds without lightning for two seconds. I press the escape key to end the slideshow. This is a key idea in stop motion. When you want a frame to last longer, simply duplicate it and don't make any changes to the duplicate.


Ευχαριστώ, Ζών, για την παραδοσία, που ήταν δύσκολο να δούμε ό,τι μπορούμε να κάνουμε και να προσπαθήσουμε ακόμα, αλλά νομίζω ότι η συναγράφηση με άλλες δημιουργές είναι πολύ σημαντικά να έρθουν με πρακτικές δημιουργές. Είχαμε σημαντική εξαιρεία με το άλλο προσπρόγεσμα που είχαμε στον Ρομπασμό της Τραξίας. Είχαμε να δημιουργήσουμε δημιουργές στο τελευταίο, οπότε είναι ένα σημαντικό δημιουργή. Οι δημιουργές θα είναι πρακτικές, θα είναι χρησιμοποιημένος για εξαιρεία, για πρακτικές εξαιρείες, οπότε είναι άλλο, δημιουργή εδώ. Υπάρχει δημιουργία, αυτό είναι πολύ ενδιαφέρον, υπάρχουν προσπρόγεσμα, αλλά οι δημιουργές είναι δημιουργές. Και Ιωάννη, δημιουργή εξαιρεία, που είχαμε δημιουργήσει τελευταία, και θα θέλω να μιλήσω also some other guidelines here. So I might speak a little bit longer than the previous speaker. If you don't like me, you might say yes and stop me. However, I will continue to the second slide. The outline of the presentation we have also with my colleagues here. I forgot of course to mention my two co-authors. They are from Prague, the one is here, the other is probably in Prague. Milan Holitski from Clarkner Institute and Mirek Sikora also from Clarkner Institute. He is here sitting in the second row. And while we are cooperating with the university, the technical university in Prague, and we thought we will prepare something together, we have put also these ideas and these reflections and this experience in eight, nine pages, and we will deliver this document to the working group leader. While an outline of this presentation is a short introduction to the problem, what are current standards on structural health monitoring, maybe some more as also mentioned before, some important issues on the contents of these standards, and some findings from several studies we had on the, let's say verification of the existing performance or the updating of the existing performance of structures dealing with offshore structures, which is as Michael Faber yesterday said, this was already started in the 80s, monitoring, updating of the performance of offshore structures, flood protection. We had yesterday a very nice poster by one colleague from Delft about the updating of the performance of levies in Holland, in the Netherlands, and also heritage structures where we also had some examples here. Well, and then some conclusions with respect to how we can continue in this working group. We have to reassess a structure, we have to assess the real performance of an existing structure. Why? Because we have deviations from the original design. Many times we have doubts about the safety. We have inspection results and they don't show what we expect. We have a lot of time, we have changes in use. We change, we use an existing industrial building as an office building, for example. So loads are changing. Also for the bridges we have seen that the loads are changing. We have a lifetime prolongation especially in bridge or offshore industry and also sometimes you measure deflections, you measure other things. So you have inadequate serviceability. You have a lot of issues which are, let's say, high, they have a large width. The typical question is what type of inspections are necessary in this occasion? What type of measurements shall be taken? And what analysis shall be performed? So we should also deal with these problems in the guidelines. But, of course, one last question which might be also dealt with is what is the future risk in using the structure and is this risk acceptable or not? Is this reliability acceptable or not? Is this risk, if we do risk-based, probably? Criteria, is this acceptable or not? If we are looking now to standards and I hope you are able to read it if you are in the back because it's important to be able to read things. Yes, this is something I'm trying always to do to make the presentation that everybody can follow. We have a lot of standards, not only the one which were presented before but we should look also to countries like Russia who have a complete standard on monitoring and inspection. We can use, of course, the several ISO standards which are related to existing structures to monitoring and so on. This is a good basis. We have a Canadian standard on structural health monitoring dealing with various points. And also we have an Austrian FOS standard. For example, we have also the association SAMCO which has a document on existing structures very similar to the JCSS document and a guideline on health monitoring, very useful documents which will help us looking at the contents to look what it is important, how can we produce a practical guideline in this framework. Also, of course, using the interaction with the other groups. The covered issues are first, which is important, is a classification of the monitoring. We can have a short monitoring as it was mentioned before or spot monitoring. We have seen that in examples, some load testing, some resistance testing. We have periodic monitoring. You monitor, for example, offshore structures during hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. You have also permanent monitoring and then other covered issues which are of importance at least in these documents which we have classified as important based on our short review, which we have to extend, is the sensor classification, performance of tests, treatment of data, very important data. We have a lot of data during the design phase for some structures during the transportation phase and also, of course, the operation phase. Damage identification is written in inspection, optimal inspection planning, aspects on inspection planning. These issues, I think, at least we think, we should deal with in our guidelines. If you look to documents, we all know that we have classification of structures based on consequence classes. This is not only in the Eurocode, this is in other codes and also in the German standard of the association of engineers, FAUDE, is called. It's similar to the Eurocode, but what it is interesting, according to the classification, you have three consequence classes, everybody knows that, CC1 to CC3, but they have also a classification of what type inspection should be done based on what class of structures or on what consequence class you have. So you have a simple visual check where you go and check the structures, you have an inspection by an engineer and you may have a verification by an expert and you see here the time intervals, of course they are smaller shorter if you have an important structure, a CC3 structure, a high-rise building or a very important bridge and these are typical elements in such guidelines with respect to monitoring as we mentioned before. Our industrial experience here with my colleagues in Prague, they cover many cases. I'm also not very young. I was here in my first research fellowship in this university in the year 81 and I was working with Madsen and Dietlefsen. So you may understand that some experience in various types of structures has been accumulated offshore structures bridges with different types of, let's say, actions like waves, wind fatigue for offshore structures, fatigue in bridges, flood and earthquake for dams, heritage structures, live load, wind load, tunnels, fire, because you can have also detection of, you can have monitoring of detection systems in tunnels or also of the resistance of fiber reinforced short grid buildings, live loads, no load and earthquake. We have seen many examples in previous speeches. I would like to present very shortly some of the three typical of them, fatigue, steel jacket structures is a typical type of structure offshore structure with different yardsticks like fatigue, corrosion, marine growth, scour, stiffness against impact and air gap. We have data from the design phase to the installation phase to the operation phase so the organization of all this data together with the monitoring data is important because if you see at the data management you have the design phase data, the field data, the geotechnical data, you have the structural model, the geometry data, you have the drawings, then you have the installation phase for offshore structures also important because you might get damages there which can propagate during the operation phase and the situation can become worse. You have the operation phase where you have modifications, you have monitoring of displacement stresses, you have environmental monitoring of the data, you have cathodic protection data and so on so there is a lot of data and the management of this data at least should be reflected in such guidelines. At the end what the engineer of course has to take some responsibility so we are reflecting industrial cases where as an engineer you have to take responsibility, you have to tell to the owner of the platform it can be shell, it can be agile but they want to see when should I do what type of inspection and of course some let's say results like redistribution and reduction of deck loads if necessary, periodical cleaning of the marine growth which is changing the dynamic behavior of the structure, extensive long term inspection planning and in what time intervals inspection campaigns on critical nodes which are the critical nodes where we have do extensive inspection at reduced time intervals. Of course another problem is that we monitor as I said before when I ask this young lady we monitor you have 50 platforms so you cannot do extensive inspection on 50 platforms, you select two, three typical which are and then you have to extract the result to correlation analysis to other platforms. So this is also another question if we should deal with that problem. In Bavaria we had also snow loading as you said on roofs yesterday very interesting on the study in Bavaria we had roofs which have failed and not only the snow height is important but also the snow loads simply monitoring system is this so called snow load pillow you can see you can measure it's 1.4 meters the weight of the snow load flat it's also important there is coming the cooperation with Prague you see here we had in Prague the highest flat in the Flata river in the year 2002 in 200 years collapses of buildings based on flooding and let's say failure of the foundation considerable damage so we see environmental monitoring of environmental actions modeling of these environmental actions here the extreme event so we have continuous monitoring not exactly of the resistance of the structure of the health of the structure but of environmental parameters which influence the health of the structure which is also very important aspect to be dealt with in a clear let's say in a clear situation and you can see here what measures also in Regensburg in the city where we have the Danube river we have similar floodings and also similar levy constructions as they have been presented yesterday for the Netherlands a last example just to show you it's a very simple thing we have here a heritage structure where the critical structural member is an iron truss και an older truss it is 100 years old construction which will be used as an industrial building which will be used now as a publishing house as an office building and the case studies have shown the development of the probabilistic model for the iron strength it's a so called monitoring of the static strength according to the classification in the guidelines I mentioned before and also the satisfactory past performance is also a criterion to update reliability here you can see the updating very simple one of the steel strength and the 5% fractile value then you can this is based on simple Brineltes but you can also take out and test specimen you can have an additional by Asian updating importantly is also to consider the model uncertainties in such simple monitoring procedures well we were thinking about this project and we were studying also the contents and the proposal so personally I am very much interested in guidelines and looking also at experience we had in developing guidelines developing guidelines in the last 20-30 years our conclusions are the following well first the required information to be obtained by structural health monitoring needs to be clearly specified this is a clear thing you have to know what to do and how to use it this was mentioned before yesterday sometimes the present standardized approaches they provide limited sufficient guidance for planning the structural health monitoring and they need they are different if you let's say study the ISO document, the Canadian document the Russian document and the German document they are not very harmonized we have to also the experience from these cases have shown that the structural reliability with respect to ultimate limit states in some cases improved by looking at cracks for example or at other type of structure damage and one other aspect which has been dealt with which must be dealt with is also the global performance of the structure we had some interesting presentations with respect to system reliability of platforms and so on so we have to deal that also when you do the monitoring what kind of parameters are you actually measuring they influence the global behavior of the structure especially with respect to earthquake further conclusions, further improvements should primarily be focused on use of SHM results to assess similar but not monitor structures we have a group of structures we don't have money to inspect or to monitoring all of them and we use models to get conclusions for the rest of the structures also focusing on identifying value of updating of real performance as a basis for a future cost optimal maintenance plans is important developing of operational methods for updating procedures and also this could be also maybe connected to the new isonome which John mentioned before with respect to risk reliability acceptance criteria or use of new verification partial safety factors we will see the recommendations should also indicate appropriate methods to be applied critical structural members and cross sections which should be and how they should be selected they should be monitored optimal frequency of collecting data considering an observed failure mode and progress of degradation process threshold values for the observed values is also important of course and implementation of updating methods including measurement errors and model errors well we try to summarize some aspects which can be useful of course we are in the beginning as you said we cannot start with the guidelines and then force the people to do the models we start we we have time to do what is good to interact with the other groups we close here with two nice bridges it's the most known is the one in Prague the Charles bridge but the older one is the stone bridge it is the stone bridge is actually monitor and you see here some let's say measures here some protection measures against the water flow and also the cracks are monitor and so on so I thank you very much for the opportunity to be here and give this short presentation and yes if you have any discussion necessity of course we are here


I am an Indigenous education navigator in the L.A.V. program at Vancouver Island University and we are sponsored through the MasterCard Foundation. Through our scholarship program, we do have an age limit of 35, but there are different requirements in each of our five different program elements. So through the scholarship program, our main element is our bachelor-funded students. So as long as there is a community match and they're under 35, that's for that program. Our college transfer is students transferring in from a college that have two years or less. We also have our youth in care scholarship, so as long as they have been in cumulative care for 12 months or longer. Our role remote just coming from a nation outside of our local partnerships and our trades is a 10 month program or longer and that is limited to 50 students or less. So for all of our program elements there is an essence of matching and what that means is we'll establish a partnership and that's usually with a nation and so we know that most nations have a wait list started and they already have students coming to our university and in that case for the one student that they are sponsoring with books, tuition and living allowance, we create a list and for their one student we will then sponsor another student for that bachelor program for books, tuition and living allowance. Our overall goal is to enroll an additional 250 students but also we are focusing on transition to employment so working with students and assisting them to find and maintain their job and also focusing on transition points in education. So we're looking at kindergarten to all the way to post-secondary so grade four, seven and 12 the transition. Well from the perspective of a navigator we work primarily with our students supporting them in whatever way that the students need us to support them but we also are focusing on enhancing the relationships that we already have in communities so we work with education coordinators, we communicate with other organizations in our communities and we communicate with chiefs and councils. Success is really a subjective word so it's really important to define it. We don't see like at those hard quantitative numbers as you must have 250 of those students graduate for this program to be successful. Success is really unique to each student so sometimes it might be that they came and enrolled and they found out that another program is better for them so I have an example of I had two students come into the bachelor program it wasn't really a program that was for them but they enrolled in a healthcare assistant and they're just graduating this December so I still see that as a success though it's not a graduation in the L.A.V. program so I think coming here and enrolling the 250 is our success. So enrolling 250 students in those respective categories that I mentioned earlier so the bulk of our target of 250 is in the bachelor students and the rural remote and college transfer and youth from care and the lower enrollment is in the trades. We have working groups that we're able to receive feedback from our community members and some of our navigators have monthly meetings with our nations to also gain feedback to to understand how we're doing and what we could do better and we're also constantly meeting with our students and open to hearing feedback all the time from them as well. From the standpoint of our nations yes because they most of them do carry a large wait list and through this program we have been able to alleviate the majority of the wait list issues through that matching mechanism. I think the initial challenge for for myself has been working with some communities that I'm not from so it's establishing that relationship with the student so it does take time and some some persistence you know it's kind of like a stranger coming in and so I'm always kind of letting them know that I'm there and some students they just don't need this support as much as others so it's just that groundwork it takes time. From a broad sense I think Indigenous education is is a journey that we create for ourselves so our own definition whatever it means to me as an Indigenous person I would like to be able to create it and not have anybody else tell me what in digit or what education should look like for me. I think it is incredibly important for a lot of our students who are coming from communities and some of them have never been to post-secondary they might be the first in their family to go to post-secondary so this place can be pretty intimidating for some and to start to establish the type of relationship where they can open up and share you know some of the struggles they may be having at the university so we're really able to tackle any barrier head on with them and advocate for them as much as possible. I think it really speaks to our ability to try to remove any barriers the student is experiencing. I am and have been working with a student right now who's been really struggling with her ability to come while she has some large issues with Fortis BC so through a lot of investigation with her we have come to find out that another company has locked her into another contract that is charging her eight times the normal rate of hydro so I've been able to advocate with her with Fortis with access gas give her a voice with our chief and council and we're we've made a lot of progress we've had her bill reduced significantly and working with her to get out of that contract so she can just just focus on school and not having this major major bill weighing down on her and wondering how she's going to eat this month. I really see us continuing to blur the lines of these transition points so grade four seven ten twelve and having more students transition into post-secondary and pursuing whatever program that they feel passionate about and I would really love to see our people become involved in self-determination and moving towards self-governance. I really think we we have created a strong foundation in our scholarship program and I see us continuing to expand into the transition to employment to really support our students as they are coming up to graduation and moving on and us expanding into the Q to 16 really focusing on those transition points.


Oh, they're my friend and friends. There's a few things in CSS that I like to call the unknown fundamentals, which are parts of CSS that we really should know and talk more about, but often go under the radar and people often don't hear about them. And recently, Kylian updated his polypane browser to help highlight these because they're actually kind of hard to see in the dev tool. So he's added the functionality to see the offset parent as well as some stacking context information as well that makes just really easy to find. So he joined me to sort of explore how we can find those things within polypane. And then of course, we go into the details of what they are, how they impact how we should be authoring our CSS and all of that. So let's dive right into it. So here we are in polypane with a very simple example that I've set up here. So we're going to be diving into looking at the offset parent and stacking context and the visualizations or the extra information that polypane can give us that we don't get from our regular browsers. I'm going to push alt on my keyboard. And when we're in polypane, the cool thing with that is we can get the visualizations right away, which I really like. And just as a quick example or a quick look at the structure here that we have, we're going to be mostly looking at this paragraph, we'll play around with some other stuff along the way. We have the content around that, which is the white box. And we have a lighter gray box around the outside that's going to be our parent here. And all of that's directly in our body as you'd expect it to be. So we have sort of some layering of content going on right now. And as you can see, these dev tools do look a little bit different. Though there's a lot of familiar things in here. There might be a few things that you're not used to seeing, like the paragraph with the contrast ratios and other stuff. So just really fast, Kylian, can you explain a little bit of what we're looking at here? Yeah, sure. So these are the, is the elements panel for polypane, which are built for a couple of reasons. So the primary one is that polypane can show your website in multiple screen sizes at the same time. But Chromium doesn't know that. So the Chromium dev tools can only really interact with one single webpage at the time. So I built the polypane elements panel where you can edit all sizes in one go.  So for example, here in the dev tools elements, if you want to edit some text, you need to go into the tree view and then double click. And then it's like a modal selection. So you can't click out of it. And you can't really type or see what you're typing as you're typing it because it's so small. So one of the things that the elements panel does is it just gives you a content box. And then as you type in that context box, you can see that it's applied across all the sizes. And that's very nice because then you can play around with your content and immediately see if it works on all the screen sizes and like that it doesn't break on mobile or that it cuts off weird or whatever.  For example, the contrast ratio is right there. The rendered font is right there. So you're not like searching three levels deep. Like is this rendering in the right fonts? I think it is, but you know, fonts can look the same. And this way you just get the information right away without having to do a lot of work. Yeah. And because you did all that, as you said, you've been able, you know, we have the extra information or easier to access information because a lot of this we could get from the actual dev tools, but you sort of have to dig around to find it. Whereas in this case, it's much easier to find. And you've also added a few new things that we're going to be using today to understand offset parents and stacking context a little bit better. So where can I find that? Yeah. So right at the bottom of the elements panel, you have a bunch of options like the style panel that you're used to from the regular DevTools, which lets you edit all the styles computed. And then the one we're looking at today is called debug. So debug is one that I added in the most recent version, Polypane 14. And the whole idea for this panel is if you're running into layout issues or display issues, the one thing you're always doing is looking up like a few different properties of an element, like what's the display? Oh, I forgot to set a position and it's still static, things like that. Instead of having to look through all your styling in the style pane, like where did I set a position at all? Where is it that takes a lot of time? So I just put them all together in the debug panel. So you can like in one overview, see why isn't something looking or working the way I think it should work is what we're discussing today, which is the context in which an element lives. So that would be the offset parent and the stacking context. So stacking context is whether or not the element itself is a stacking context. And then an element always has a stacking context parent because the HTML is always a stacking context by spec, but an element behaves different if it is a stacking context. So the second context is whether or not this element starts a stacking context. Perfect. And the other is in which stacking context does it live? So yeah, we'll dive in and take a look starting with the offset parent. And this is actually something that I've always found funny that we don't hear more about. And I sort of call it one of the the unknown fundamentals of CSS because it's it is a fundamental concept. We use it anytime you use positioning, you're using it in one way or another, but you're just not aware of it. So what we'll do is let's jump on over to VS code just for a second here, where we have my body, my parent and the paragraph here. And we also have that container. So you know what, I'm going to start or we'll start with the parent actually. And let's do a position or I'm jumping ahead. We're going to just start right on this paragraph. And we're going to do a position of absolute done there. And when I do that, if we go back on over to polypane, we can see things have changed around a little bit. So you want to explain what's just happened here or what information we can get from polypane to understand what's happening. Yeah, sure. So if you scroll up in the debug panel, then you can now see that the position has changed to absolute. So we know it's absolutely positioned. And then the question is like, what is it absolutely positioned from? As we can see now that the content around it has collapsed is when you take an element and you give it a position absolute, it actually gets taken out of the parent element. It doesn't count towards the size of a parent element anymore the way other position relative and position static queue. Then what we want to figure out here is why does it get placed where it's being placed right now? So right now this paragraph, we didn't supply it like a top and a left and or a bottom or right value. So what the browser tries to do is actually position it in the place where it's started or initialized, which is at the top of the parent element. And then because the parent element collapses, that's being brought back to the center. So if we do come and I hear, like you said, because we haven't given it anything, let's say we do a top of 10 pixels and a left of 10 pixels, just so it actually has values there. We can say it's completely changed where it's positioned. And I think this is where it becomes useful, because now we can really see where it's getting positioned to when we come down to here with the offset parent seeing that it's actually the body right there. And this is one of those things where in a situation like this, we're doing a silly little demo, we know exactly what it's being positioned to, but sometimes when you're in a more complex setup where you have a lot of moving parts on it, you might have a position relative somewhere or something like that that you didn't realize. And that's one of the things that changes the offset parent. So if we jump back on over to VS code here really fast, and let's just go on this parent, and I do a position relative, like I just said, and that's always sort of that combo that you're doing, where you have a position relative somewhere, and then the absolute somewhere.  I think that's the thing, like people do this all the time, but don't really realize that it's like, oh, now it's relative to that instead of my body or whatever. So now we can see it's moved on over and is set up exactly, you know, it's 10 pixels from the top, and it's moved on over a little bit from the side there. And if I come and look in polypane, we should be able to see now the offset parent there, we can see, oh, and I didn't even realize this, if you hover over, it highlights what the parent is, which is kind of cool too. So it makes it easy to find what you're looking for, which is always great, because one of the things I always get annoyed with in the DevTools is sort of hunting for that element to find out exactly what's going on. So that's useful. In terms of right now, I use position absolute and position relative. So just really fast anything, if we come back in VS code, position relative, if you want to create a new offset parent, it's basically anything that's not a position of static. So once you change the position, then you're creating this. So sometimes you don't even realize it, maybe you're using position fixed on a navigation, something like that, and you're chain, you have something that's nested inside of there, drop down menus or something else, a lot of the time that ends up being more useful than not useful, but just a few things that you might want to watch out for along the way. The other one example actually here that I wanted to look at is if we change the, I had the parent, and then I also had the dot contain content. And I'm just going to do a position of relative on that one as well. So we're actually going to change where it's positioned. But the one thing that's really important to understand when we're looking at these is, actually, we'll do this through the DevTools down here, where if I change, if I just take this position absolute off for a minute, we can see that there's a lot of padding that's on here. So when an element doesn't have positioning on it, it's offset parent, like it's looking at the padding box of this content right now, right? So it's, and that's normal, you add padding, you're expecting the elements to move in. And one misconception or one thing that people don't always realize is when you do something like doing a position of absolute is now that top and left property, they're relative to the actual padding box now. So like the edge there and not for that padding that it was originally placed within. So like one of the things that, that I think trips people up is the naming, because you set an element to position relative to make it an offset parent. And then you set a child elements position absolute to relatively position it from the parent element. So it's very easy to confuse that naming, especially if you're just starting out, because it doesn't really make sense. Like you're very explicitly positioning something relative to something else. But that's not what position relative does. That's what position absolute does. So that's one thing to keep in mind. Okay, so the next thing we're going to do is look at sort of maybe a slightly more realistic situation for this as well as how we could pull stacking context into this as well. So in the HTML here, I just switched to my paragraph out, almost done it all. We need a closing block quote to go with it. But we have a block quote here. And we're just using a span to make it a little bit easier to work with, with an open quote in there, just decorative open quote at the beginning of what we have right there. And if we come and take a look at what that's giving us are actually I'm going to style the span right away, because I have some styles to put on that to make it really big, which is often what we want. It's sort of this decorative thing. But the problem is that gives us something like this to start with, which doesn't look very fantastic. So often what we do is on the block quote, I'll come in first with a position of absolute. And when we do that, we end up with something like that that isn't looking fantastic, fantastic, but we can sort of improve this. And I think I'll do this through the dev tools just so we can see it moving around in everything. And one thing here, if you are using some of the things over here within polypane, Killian was nice enough to let me know we can hide the box model if you don't want it to give yourself a little bit more space to work with. So the first thing we're going to see here is what we've already looked at our quote is position absolute. So we can see that the offset parent right now is the content because we'd set that up earlier when we're moving our the red box around on that span. If I come, I can just come over to the style over here, like we're used to doing. And I'm just going to set a top of zero, and we'll also set a left of zero. And then it's when I quickly realize that Oh, I made a mistake along the way here, because I actually want it to sort of be covering the red text that's there. So going over to the debug, I can see the offset parent is my content. And I actually want it to be that red box instead. So on the block quote, we could come in and just give that a position of relative. So then we can sort of fix how that's getting set up. This is actually one problem you'll see a lot when you do these, I always run into this issue. Because when you increase the font size a lot to make these decorative, they become gigantic. So do use your dev tools, whatever DevTools you're using. It's just nice to visualize that like, Oh, this is taking up a lot more room than I was expecting it to. So it can be hard to position just top and left in general. So what we could do to help with that is just do a line height of would zero be enough? It would. So with the line height of zero, if I come and take a look, or zero might even be a bit too small. One would probably be a bit more practical. So it's sort of getting into a bit more of a realistic realm of what you might have there. And you know what?  It's not perfect. But it's this idea that you're bringing this, this element to be decorative to show that it's a quote. And then you run into the problem that it's covering your text. And you can't read the text. And it's supposed to be this little decor subtle decoration in the background. And that's where we enter the realm of Z index and stacking context, which isn't controlled by by our, the one we were just looking at the offset parent. And I think that's something that trips people up where they think they did a position relative on something. So right now where the offset parent is the content, but the stacking context parent is still over here. So what that means is on my span that I created, if we come on that and I give that a Z index negative one, it disappears. And it's gone because it's it's just left and it's gone behind everything. Because it's it's going to be the last thing in this 3d realm that we've just created effectively. So the best way to find that now is if we go to the debug, we can see stacking context is HTML. So we're not Z index, we're not in this 3d realm based on any of the other things here. So the negative one is just going all the way back. So knowing that I can sort of decide where I want a new stacking context to start. And I always have trouble explaining stacking context to a certain degree. Do you have a succinct explanation of what it is by any chance? As you alluded to a couple of times. So stacking context is like the offset parent. So it determines where things get placed, but where things get placed in like the three, the third dimension, like far away or close to you. And by default, your HTML is the stacking context. So you can you can position all elements in any order you want. By adding a stacking context to an element, you say actually every element inside this element can only be positioned in 3d. So in in the third dimension from me. So they can't go behind me or behind this element, but they can still within this element decide which place they take. Yeah, that's good. And this is I think one thing that gets people. So let's fix that first. So I can say I want my you know, I need this to be with my block quote, but I only want it to be behind the block quote and nothing else. So that means I want to turn my block quote into a new stacking context. For a long time, stacking context was this weird thing where you sort of had to throw somewhat arbitrary properties to create them. We already have a position relative on the block quote. So the common thing was have a position relative and then add a zed index on that as well. So if I did a zed index of just one on there, all of a sudden it fixes that because now if we come and look in the debug menu, stacking context, yes, meaning that this block quote is creating a new stacking context. So that was always the sort of the default way of creating them, I think, but there's also some other properties that do create stacking context. And I think that this could also be useful for finding those times when you're creating one and not realizing it just because you use like a transform or something like that. And lowering opacity and I don't remember all of them, but there's a handful of them. And the one I like to look the one I do these days a lot is instead of having to do two properties, you can also use isolation, which is part of the blending mode spec, I think, isolation isolate, which, whoops, isolation, isolate. And that also creates a new stacking context as well. So, oh, did it change? Oh, because I took off the position relative. There we go. So yeah, the isolation isolate is for me a sort of a quick win on creating stacking context that I use. That's I think its only purpose is to create a stacking context. So it can also affect how mixed blend mode works. So like how far back into the DOM tree it blends. But it is very nice if you do use isolation, then it becomes a very explicit way of saying like, this is a new stacking context. Whereas with a Z-index, you better add a comment if you're doing it for a stacking context rather than, you know, just general placement because that's not very explicit. Yeah, definitely. So yeah, if we come back to that debug menu, we can see it is or if we go in the span, we can see now that the stacking context is the block quote as well as the offset parent because it's doing both. One is for positioning. And the second one here is for where it is stacking on the page. So I hope you enjoyed that and learned a couple of things along the way.
