So, you know, just ask away, and, you know, don't be shy here. So you get a 14-day trial period with Bookmap. This is where you can find it. There are two versions, the basic and the advanced. You can see 49 and 99 per month, they are billed quarterly, but you get that 14-day trial period for each of them, okay, and the difference between the two are the add-ons, okay, and the ability to trade right from the chart, and that's the huge one, okay, and then all these other add-ons here, all right, and then we do have, we do offer a package deal here with DX feed and DX feed, you know, we're not a data provider, but DX feed allows you to access U.S. equities with NASDAQ total view, and we've just bundled it here with the basic and the advanced, same as over here, it's just basic and advanced with the DX feed, all right, you get the same 14-day trial period, so this is more for the equities guys. If you have the basic and advanced right now and you want access to U.S. equities, well, then you can add DX feed to the basic or advanced, all right, the user portal, so once you become a member, you can come here, there are videos in the features tab here that go through all the different components. The education tab here, there's all sorts of videos here as well, they all lead to our YouTube page, so you can subscribe here to our YouTube page, and I just edited this a little bit so you can see that, have the features and components videos all here in a playlist, go scroll down a little bit further, there's a playlist here for all the order flow video snippets, okay, these are very short, concise videos and I highly recommend watching these that go through phenomena like flip of the book or absorption and exhaustion, okay, they're very short though, and then one down here you see the playlist for our new educational course, parts one through four, okay, so you can click on each one here or you can click on the link here, that'll take you to the entire YouTube playlist for educational course or video snippets, a little further down we have a trader here, a well-known trader, Futures Trader 71, Morad Askar, and we have webinars with him, so if you want to watch and see how he integrates Bookmap into his trading, okay, and then you can also follow us on Twitter here as soon as it loads and this, you will get the most up-to-date information here as well as retweets from other Bookmap users, okay, so I'm not sure why that's not loading, there we go, okay, all right and let's see here, okay Mohammed you are doing the Top Step Trader Combine, okay, well ask away, Bookmap will really help you pinpoint a lot of different things in there for entries and exits and trade management, and good luck with that Mohammed, let's see Scott, your puzzle about trading from the chart, okay, so the way it works, okay, so we're not a data provider, but you will need a broker or data provider that Bookmap supports, okay, so you can click on Connectivity here and that'll take you here, just scroll right up, and you can see the different various supported data feeds and brokers here, so stage five has OEC data, they offer many different types of data, okay, they also have CQG, they also have Rhythmic, they also have Gain OEC data, basically anything that you want to get you can get it there at stage five, and you can see some of the others here, IQ feed, Transact Futures, Ninja Trader 7 and 8, Interactive Brokers, the Dev Experts here, this is your DX feed, all right, we have Rhythmic, we also connect through the API of Trading Technologies, Trade of Ape, and then NASDAQ is the total view that you get through Dev Experts, okay, so Scott, yeah, there you go, so you have Ninja Trader, so you can connect directly through your Ninja Trader, okay, you know, it is cleaner, to be honest, if you can go directly, like let's say you have Rhythmic, for example, you can power two different platforms with Rhythmic, so you can, you know, power your Ninja Trader, and then you can also power directly book map using Rhythmic, so the, it's up to you, but then you don't have to go through the API of Ninja, all right, so you get to bypass that, and you'll probably get a little more hands performance, who do you use for the Canadians, you know, well I mean, they're all excellent, okay, we do like the Rhythmic, at sub-second levels, it's a little cleaner, okay, yeah, Scott, your Ninja Trader live, absolutely, I mean, we connect through the API in Ninja, okay, so you as, so if you can, you can understand that, like, your data feed, okay, you're probably getting it through Ninja Trader CQG, I imagine, your CQG feed is feeding into your Ninja, and then it's outputting to book map, right, whereas, you know, what you could do is, you can have CQG just go directly to book map, like it does to Ninja Trader, okay, we're a platform just like Ninja, okay, we're not, we're not an add-on, we're not an indicator, we are a platform, okay, so Rhythmic through Ninja, okay, well there you go, a lot of work too, okay, if you can, try it, maybe talk to, stop, top-step, and see if you can get a dedicated line just for your book map, anyway, let's move on, and let's take a look here at the markets, and look at book map, and we had, well, you know, it's been interesting watching oil, I haven't, I've noticed it, you know, noted it all this week here, I didn't, I didn't really mention anything, but we have really high liquidity here in the oil market, in crude, and this is, you know, more like the ES, you know, as you can see, we're up in the thousands here, that is very rare to see, I mean, there's a lot going on in oil right now, we had OPEC meetings, we had the inventories, and you know, we're flirting with some higher levels in the Brent crude up around the 50 level, so anyway, there's a lot of things, you know, going on here in crude, and also it's summertime, okay, so some of the stock indexes, they start to slow down, and more speculation is you'll find in, you know, more volatile markets like crude, okay, so or gold or something like that, so you can see the liquidity here is a lot higher than usual, right, so just wanted to note that, and so we'll take a look at crude, jump over the ES and see what's going on here, and you see, we're just kind of going in, you know, in a pretty small range here, plus at 2 p.m. we have the FOMC, okay, so not having a lot of expectations for the ES at the moment, all right, so look at something that moves a little bit more here, okay, all right, so what is bookmap showing you, all right, so we'll start with the basics here, and then we'll get into what's going on right now, we can see a flip of the book right here, notice the high liquidity here, the breakout, and then they flip from the offer over to the bid side, and see the high liquidity here, and look how it was tested, and it bounced, okay, this is one of those phenomena you'll see again and again, all right, so we are now trading in a new range, okay, at 48.30 and above, all right, this is just one insight, one small very, very visual, simple phenomena to point out in bookmap, and we'll get into some more details here too, okay, and this is all covered as well in that education course, so sweep of the book, okay, to understand just the basic mechanics of what a sweep is, and then just taking all the liquidity at each level, okay, and trading through, and now we're up above all of this volume over here, and then they flip, high liquidity here on the offer, flips over to the bid, and we are now in a new range, and look at we're coming up and testing high liquidity here, 48.50, right, another little sweep right here out of this range, okay, it's, you know, inevitable, we're going to be testing 48.50, okay, very high liquidity here though, I mean it's obviously the round number, but, and you can see kind of a flip here, but looking very poised to test into some of that high liquidity here, right, and we'll see, I mean maybe we'll need a couple rotations to get up in there, right, but anyway, that's what's going on, let's take a step back before I get too detailed here, and then we're going to just simplify this, and look at the basics, what the book map is showing you, and let's zoom out a little bit, okay, here's our five minute chart, okay, here's our oil inventories at at 1030, okay, and it'll be good to cover the fundamental release, so you guys can see how liquidity functions in a fundamental release, okay, and an economics number, and you know, it just gives a better example of really how these markets operate, you know, and anyway, so we can see the candles here, candlestick chart though is, you know, we have a volume sub chart, it's giving us pretty good information here, but there's so much that we are missing, right, we have no idea where the market really is trading here, okay, and that's a problem, I mean we do have the volume here, as you can see in the sub chart, we don't know what type it is, we don't know how much exactly traded within a specific timeframe, where it traded on the candlestick in this time period, and then what type of volume transacted, was it aggressor buy or sell, okay, so let's start to turn on some of the levels of data here, and we'll just add the historical best didn't offer, okay, so this little move, quick move down, and then kind of a retest here, and then a move back up, you would have seen it in the candle in real time, but at the close of this candle, that data is lost, and that's a problem, okay, so just adding historical best didn't offer already helps, right, but now let's add the volume dots, okay, now, and volume dots are going to be a little subdued due to the fundamental release, let me zoom in here a little bit, alright, okay, so now, yeah, let's get here, alright, and I will need to turn up those dots a little bit, okay, we're starting to get a much better insight, what occurred within this five minute period? Okay, and this is just looking at the volume, I'm sorry, five minute period started here and ended here, we can zoom in maybe a little bit more, okay, that looks pretty good, okay, so this candlestick here represents this price activity, okay, but look at the volume, most of the volume traded down here at this low, okay, big volume dots, we see the sweep of the book down through this area into 4805, and then it kind of floats back up and some of the aggressor right in this area here, they start to jump in, alright, so we can see now some detail here, your footprint chart is good, you know, you'll get the data where all of this traded, but there's a problem with that, the problem is that it will aggregate this data, okay, you won't see some of the subtle details here, you won't see this little sweep up here, we're in a new level here, okay, and this is microstructural, but it holds, it always holds, it holds true at least in the analogy that we swept up above and look at the little retest down here, look at the volume that traded down here, okay, nothing or very little, this is exhausting out, there's no interest in selling or for sellers to hit the bid any longer, okay, so we start to rotate back up and then we have the release at 1030, okay, so now we're getting a lot more insight to what occurred within this five minute period, and that's just by looking at the volume, but the volume is good, but there's so much more going on, what about the auction, what about the dome, you know, the current state of that market, here's our dome and book map, you can see the, we've got a widened spread here, we can see the liquidity on the offer, liquidity on the bid, and our best bid and offer right here, okay, so these are limit orders in the order book, resting at these levels, it's liquidity that, you know, traders want to trade at these specific price levels with, there's many, this many contracts at these price levels, okay, those numbers change all the time, okay, this gives a really good insight to what's the current state of the auction and the market, and that's helpful, but there's a problem here with this and this data here is not giving us insight to what previously just occurred, so we, it's lost, as soon as these numbers update that previous information is gone, okay, so you're going to have to remember, you're going to have to watch these numbers and they flash by pretty quickly, and you're going to have to understand how that auction started to unfold in some of these areas, okay, and remember the interest that that occurred there, right, now with book map, we solve that problem, okay, and let me turn on the heat map, okay, and the way we solve it is with the, this heat map scale here, okay, we're, we're showing the gray scale, and let me go to the current market to show you exactly what this is, okay, so here's our current market window, okay, this is our, our current best bid and offer and our last rated volume is this number, okay, you can see the current candlestick is forming right now, okay, well, the heat map within this vertical window is showing the areas of very high liquidity with a white bar, okay, 1400 contracts up here, almost 15, right, or just, just was, and then, you know, and then on the, on the bid side, well, we have 300 here, and we have 1400 down here, okay, you can play around with some of the heat map settings here if you want to see some of the details, so, you know, it's, it's really up to you what, you know, what you want to see, but, you know, you can start to filter that, anyway, this is a graphical representation of the liquidity in the book, so we very quickly understand, in this window here, just with the graphical representation, where the liquidity is, okay, immediately, high liquidity, it's all, it's just uncovered here with the heat map, now where it gets interesting, this is, this is all recorded, okay, and it's transposed onto the chart here, so this looks like it's really complex, but it's actually really straightforward, it's just the, the evolution of the, of the dome here, historical evolution of it, where they were bidding and offering, okay, and where on the chart, okay, so we can see that they were very aggressive right here, we, we witnessed that, right, and they, they were very close to price with high liquidity, okay, and we can see that price, the sellers did not take them on, they, they had no interest, instead we found buyers, we charged up into this liquidity up into this area here, okay, so anyway, now we can start to utilize this dome data, okay, that fleeting data that is here in, in the book for a moment, and then it's gone, okay, but now we have reference, this is how it unfolded, okay, we can see the interest here at 4850, okay, and they're staying in the book, okay, now we're starting to draw conclusions and put context onto this auction, okay, and we're starting to consume and digest this data here, okay, by putting it into the context, these guys want to trade up here at 4850, they're staying in the book, okay, areas around it, look how, look how they're even getting more aggressive, they're lowering their liquidity in some of these areas, so, you know, they're trying to get their front running, some of that high liquidity at the figure here, the half figure, okay, and so there's interest here to trade on the sell side, if the buyers want to, to take them on, you know, this is where they can, they can get filled here, they can find sellers, all right, this is how the market works, okay, what about on the bid side, you know, 4830, that area where we broke from, okay, our flip of the book, ring a bell, okay, here it is here, okay, and that is the trading range that we are in right now, okay, so now we can start to put these pieces together and it's pretty simple, you know, it's not that complex here to understand how to start to utilize this data here, okay, now we're testing our 4850, right into it here, okay, just test it into it, a few ticks, okay, 173 contracts traded here so far and you can see exactly what unfolded here, okay, and they stayed in the book, okay, all right, so we thought we were going to get our test to 4850, we finally did, it took another couple of rotations, right, but finally got up there and we can judge this, yeah, they're interested, you know, they're interested in selling, okay, anyway, let's see here, let's take off the candles and let's put on the indicators as well, right, and let's get into some of the finer details now, okay, so some of the add-ons that we have, okay, this number that you see here, this is our iceberg detector, okay, you can see 139 contracts traded here that were not in the limit order book at that time, okay, so that's an iceberg order or hidden order, if something's not shown in the book but trades, it's got to be, you know, a hidden order or it's basically to be more precise, it's just, it's liquidity that traded that wasn't in the limit order book, okay, so anyway, okay, here comes our retest 4850 and let's watch this in detail here as this unfolds, okay, so notice how they just polled, okay, some of it traded here and now we're starting to gauge the intent of these traders, okay, now the bulls have it if they want, if they want to lift that offer really quickly, we're going to look and see, we're probably going to see some, some very, very aggressive buying here, okay, let's see if we get to get that breakout here, okay, and I want to see a flip here or not a flip necessarily but a more aggression on the on the buy side here, okay, so lifting or you know, bringing that offer up here, being more aggressive with it, okay, wow, that was really meager, I had, I was starting to anticipate to come up and test a higher liquidity here, okay, that we did not, okay, and we're going to, we'll get a retest here, okay, and let's, let's see, okay, here comes our retest, so another rotation, okay, and here we go, now let's see initiated buying is what we're looking for here, okay, big green dots pulling the market up, now they're hesitant, this is, it's, it's funny, like, you know, as more liquid, it's really kind of odd, as more liquidity comes into the oil market, it's, it's starting to behave like the ES, you know, higher liquidity here and you get, you get a few more rotations before you get some of these breakouts, it's kind of funny, you know, it defeats the whole purpose of jumping into these less liquid markets and all of a sudden they become more liquid and they're back to behaving like from the market that you were escaping from to find more volatility, anyway, that, we, I mean, we did get a breakout, you know, we broke through a little bit, very meager, lack of, lack of aggressive buying here, but you know, if, if that's going to be the case here and maybe we're starting to exhaust out right here, well, sellers can take control if they like, okay, and where are they going to go, I would start to look for this 4830, okay, maybe before that down here, maybe they'll scoop it up for a deal down at this area, okay, around this 4838 or so, okay, but looking at the transactions, I see more aggressive trading now, compare these two areas here to this area here where we just saw the meager breakout, okay, so, okay, we're going to get our retest here, you know, it's there, I mean, now this can flip very quickly, but there's less buying interest here than there was here, okay, we were looking for big green dots, okay, and, and we got some, but we didn't get, we didn't get like we did over here, right, so maybe the buyers are starting to exhaust out here, okay, here's our retest right here, that's not, that doesn't look good, right, you know, we want to see much more, much more buying here, okay, so this, this, the setup is here, now we, we're looking for red dots, and let's see if we get that, okay, more aggressive maybe on the sell side here, okay, now what about this previous little swing down here, okay, I'm not, I don't have any insight here on that, like, I'm looking, I would want to see some more selling here, actually before I would start to anticipate the move down to this 48-30 level, okay, and we didn't really get that here, well, we need to see some, we need to see, initiate, and maybe we'll get, we'll see it here, let's, let's take a look, okay, and that will be, that would be then a shift in the order flow, okay, and we didn't really get it, right, I want to see, I want to see more red in these little areas here first, we see volume in that area, but the kind, what kind of volume is it, okay, this, this here was more, more buying, so we're still seeing buyers here, so this is, is kind of a, I mean, you know, we're looking at the action just going sideways here at the moment, okay, for that shift that we're looking for, we need to see more selling at the, at the lower areas, and we need to see, it has to be selling, okay, red dots, okay, and right now it's, it's kind of a mix between the two, and that's why we are going sideways, okay, in fact, yeah, it's, it's, I mean, there's still a little more buying, I would say, you know, you can see we had some buying here, and still some here, so it still has a kind of a bullish slant to it, you know, by looking at the transactions, what about the liquidity, what is it telling us, well, buyers are starting to step up here, okay, okay, all right, here's the algal working price, okay, but where, where are the, where are the aggressive buyers, that's what we're looking for, and we're not getting them right now, okay, any questions on this, we're, you know, putting this together, you know, in the live market here, looking for a clear opportunity, and we don't, we know what we're looking for, but we're not seeing it, okay, so then that, that, that means, you know, stay, stay out, and in fact, you know, what these, I can bring you back to a good reference here, okay, and that's on our YouTube page, if you scroll down here, these video snippets, okay, these will give you a good reference of what to look for, okay, that phenomena in the book, and in the, in the tape, okay, so watch some of these, and you can put this together, right, and okay, so now we're starting to see some trading down here at this swing, right, okay, so maybe, and we're seeing some more selling here, okay, see this cluster, right, and so now there's an opportunity, let's look at, look at the retests here, okay, on some of these swings out our 4850 figure, right, so there's, there's a lack of aggressive buying here, we have some more selling starting to take place down here, okay, we can get another rotation, and we can get price discovery further to the downside here, okay, I would still like to see more red, I mean we see, we see a nice little cluster here, but there's still, and there's still buyers in here as well, and that's why we're rotating back up, okay, and also high liquidity here too, it's being, it's aggressive, so we are trading between this range here of 4855 and 42, okay, so we're starting to see it, okay, but it's not enough, not yet, but this is what we're looking, this kind of behavior here is what we were looking for over here, right, okay, now we're trading to the other side of the range, and now we're seeing the opposite here, okay, so look at the buying starting to come in here, right, okay, so yeah, it's just back and forth, okay, I mean now the bulls have the opportunity to, for price discovery to the upside right here, all right, now if we rotate back down again, then I would be looking for that price discovery to the downside, see if we can get it, right now we're just, it's in the range, okay, so this is a, this is pretty classic range bound activity, in fact, you know, it can be very tricky trading in these ranges, we have little areas that, you know, they look like they're going to break down, you know, they go below these swings, and then they reverse right back into the range, if this rejects on one side of the range there's like a percentage, it's over 80 or around 80, that it'll come and test the opposite side of the range, which is exactly what this did, so you can, you know, start to look for that kind of behavior, and, okay, well there was a kind of a, in a microstructural area here, there were buyers that started to step in right here, right at this area, okay, so let's see if they start to jump right back in, okay, and if they do, then we're, then we'll probably get our price discovery to the upside, okay, because this is where they started to initiate here, okay, and here they come, okay, okay, let's see them show up, and then we'll, we'll test the high liquidity here at 55, okay, do you guys see that? Can you see that? This is for those newer traders now, this is, this is giving us, this gave us something to go on here, right here, okay, and we were going back and forth looking for something, and, and now we finally found it, and now we got our test, does that, do you guys understand that, if you have any questions on that, okay, so in these areas here we were looking for things, they just didn't, they just didn't show, okay, here's where we saw something, and we had exhaustion, kind of exhaustion here in that area, and then here, as soon as this started to occur, it's like, okay, we're going to come up and we're going to test 55, and we got our price discovery here, now let's zoom out and get another picture here, okay, so you know, a lot of aggressive trading to the upside here, I'm looking for price discovery to, to extend, okay, and let's see it, let's see the aggressive buying, okay, some, some volume starting to trade up here, liquidity targets, you know, we're looking for those, that targeting of that high liquidity on the bid, okay, so we got it, we got to chop through 60 here, but they're starting to pull some, okay, and high liquidity is up here at 66, 48, 66, okay, here they're starting to maybe flip, maybe we'll start to see high liquidity here, buyers want to start to define the trading range around this half figure, okay, this is another phenomena like we see again and again, and we noticed it here, okay, and it's, it's gonna, we start to see it maybe happen, maybe right around here, we, we, this is where we initiated and we kind of broke from this very microstructural range right here, okay, but we get a return back to where we, that started, right, you see this all the time, okay, here as well and then here's our retest, okay, okay, all right, let's read that context of that auction again, okay, and let's, let's make this a little more challenging, just for the sake of understanding liquidity better, okay, let's take off the volume dots here, right, I mean this is where we, we saw, we, you know, the volume dot at this little moment here in the sweep to the upside is what gave us that first, that first insight here, and let's, let's just take a look and we can see how actually the liquidity and the shifting and skewing of the auction, how it affects price, okay, understanding that skew of high short-term liquidity and how it plays within longer-term liquidity, all right, okay, so let's do that, and you, now we're just looking at historical best bid and offer and we have our iceberg detector as well, okay, so now if we zoom out a little bit, we can start to understand how liquidity plays within this price activity, okay, so longer, longer high term liquidity here, we trade up into it, okay, we saw the big transactions that took place here, and then, and then they got aggressive on the bid side, okay, and they wanted to be buyers at higher areas, okay, and we, we came down and we didn't even, we didn't even get to test into these guys, but they started to show more interest as price was coming down, okay, and then we saw a little bit of a skew here, okay, of higher liquidity at this higher level, but this is very short-term liquidity, okay, pressing price up into some of these other areas here, that, of high liquidity, okay, now we're starting to chop through our, our 60 level, or just about to get there, and we're looking for 66 that liquidity here to, to be tested, okay, here's our short-term liquidity skewing the book right here, notice it, okay, okay, this is a little battle zone right now, and, but high, high liquidity here, now you combine that with some of, some of that aggressive bind and those green dots and you charge, price will charge right up into these areas pretty quickly, okay, but look how this is getting worked here, can you guys, you can guys can see that very, very clearly here, it's very visual, okay, very aggressive high liquidity, and it skews that auction, some exhaustion here at the moment, I'd like to see, let me, I got to turn the volume dots on it, just very curious at this little area here, it doesn't look like there was any, any trading at all, or very little up here, so it looks like maybe those buyers are starting to exhaust, they worked it, then you know trying to get price up into that, our 66 level, but then we, we start to exhaust out, so what occurs on exhaustion, well you get that rotation lower again, okay, market needs to trade and it's looking for that liquidity, okay, these guys start pulling with that aggressive skew, they start pulling and, and price starts to, to fall back down, okay, but now we're, we were in that range previously, okay, and maybe the buyers start to step back in, okay, at a lower, a lower price here, let's turn those volume dots back on, okay, yeah, it's not bad, I mean we see some, I was, I was kind of anticipating a little less, but this little area up here, they're, look at the, the green dots here, there's nothing like this, right, but overall, you know, still looking, looking pretty good, for another, another one more, one more test to the upside here, and hit our 66 level, so looking at this, what kind of, what are you guys looking for in this area here, above 60, and what, what is it gonna take to come up into our 66 level, yeah, that's right, yeah, yeah, green dots, okay, I mean, aggressive buying, that's what we're looking for, right, okay, and we're, and we're getting it, okay, it's pulling up into that area, okay, now, now we're looking for big green dots, right, this, this can be a real battle here at 60, 65 here, and there it is, there it is, okay, buyers taking them on, okay, and let's, let's zoom in a little bit more and see what, what unfolded here, okay, let's zoom in exactly into this area here and see what unfolded, okay, well look, look how they did, they stayed in the book for most of that time and you see the aggressive buying into that high liquidity here, right, we know exactly what occurred here, okay, 277 contracts traded here aggressively, okay, 102, one tick above, okay, oh now, okay, so now we're getting our, our sellers are starting to come in, okay, right, well maybe, maybe we'll see that shift now, okay, look at this, the retest here, okay, so, so this is what is unfolding, right, now we see, look at, look at the red dots here, okay, so the aggressive sellers are all of a sudden now they're on the other side here and, and we had exhaustion here of our buyers, okay, we hit our 66th level, I went above it, but we didn't find any more buyers, okay, not at, not at this time here, in fact, we rotate lower and we found sellers, aggressive sellers, okay, so, and then here's our retest, okay, at 66, I'm sorry, at 65, okay, we don't even hit 66 and we find no, no buyers here or very little, let's see, it was exactly a two contracts traded here, okay, that's a, that's a big difference, okay, so let's, let's see if the, the sellers can gain control here, let's see if there's more selling and maybe a shift in skew in the book on the offer and they get aggressive here and then we'll come down and test the liquidity here at, at 56, okay, here they come, start to come in at 70, okay, okay, now notice that this is different than what we saw earlier, okay, and then we had our retest here and that's, that's looking pretty good too, right, so lack of, lack of buying on the, on the swing, it didn't even come up to test the high and we see two contracts traded here, okay, so, and we had a nice cluster of that sell volume in this area here, okay, we start to see them coming in a little more aggressive here at 70 with high liquidity, right, and now, now you can, we can start to look for some aggressive selling to test this 56 level here and let's see if we get that, right now we're getting the opposite, okay, they're getting aggressive here at 60 and we're starting to see buyers start to step in again, okay, so that kind of nullifies that idea at the moment, okay, we're looking for that a clear shift in the order flow, if we saw this was more selling here, then it would look good, right, but we did not get that and here's our retest of a high back to 66, okay, let's take a look at that area here, again, exhaustion here on the buy side, so I think we're going to come back down and test 60, okay, here come the sellers, oh, buyers jump in, okay, okay, it looks like more buying pressure back in, okay, skewing the book there, okay, more buying, okay, so if they're supporting price here at 65 and let's see, this will be the key here at 65, I see who's successful in winning this auction here for 65, okay, I'm still seeing, I mean the transaction still occurred up here, okay, and that is different than it was up here before, okay, all right, well as you can see this, you know, we need to, you know, time is an element to wait and watch and wait for something that gives us that kind of clarity that we're looking for, and let's wrap it up here, but what I want to cover is that, you know, we're doing this in real time to demonstrate, you know, how to start to understand some of these areas and ebbs and flows and changes in the limit order book and the transaction and the tape, okay, and put these pieces together, and, you know, how to start to read this and put that context together, okay, because we saw some nice moves to our advantage, right, and it takes some time, okay, so there's book map offers a replay mode, and let me show you where you can find out more about that, that is going to be here, let's go to the homepage, YouTube, and then go to features and components here, let's click on the link here to the playlist, okay, and then scroll down, and where is it, replay mode, there's two videos here to watch for replay data mode, and watch both of them, one is, what, seven or eight minutes and the other one's four minutes, so it'll show you how to use this feature, and then it'll show you the practical uses in the practical uses video, so instead of waiting and watching for this to unfold in real time, you can learn so much quicker by using that replay mode, because you can speed up the market, so therefore, you can look at many instances of that order flow unfolding, and you can digest it, and put those pieces together much quicker, okay, think of that analogy of these poker players, winning World Series of Poker, and they're in their mid-20s, taking on experts who have been trading or playing poker for decades, and they're beating them, and they have just as much experience, because they have played just as many hands virtually, using, you know, technology, instead of actual card playing, right, so it allows them to get all that experience very quickly, and that's what that replay mode can do for you, okay, that's how I learned bookmap and started to, you know, piece a lot of these things together, what to look for, the different scenarios that might start to unfold by reading the liquidity, reading the context of the liquidity, okay, and the auction, and then also reading the transactions, and the type of transactions that are occurring, okay, and then just waiting for that one thing to unfold that you know, that you're looking for, okay, just like we were over here, right, and we were looking for something to unfold, and it did, okay, so anyway, I hope that helps you guys, yes, bookmap works for Ninja Trader 8 as well as 7, Tom, okay, and you'll get that 14-day trial period, okay, free, so try it out, see if you like it, if you guys do try it out, I would recommend going for the bookmap advanced, okay, because with the bookmap advanced, you can, you get all the add-on features and the ability to trade from the chart, and you know, try it out, you know, you get that trial period, so try it, try the bookmap advanced, and then you know, if you, if there's a lot of those advanced features that you don't like, well you can get the bookmap basic, okay, so you have that flexibility, but anyway, it's up to you, but you know, if you start to integrate this into your trading by just the process that we're going through of understanding the auction and understanding the transactions, then looking at your higher time frames, you know, in the way that you trade, I think you're going to see a lot more transparency into these markets, okay, I mean, there's all sorts of just nuances here that we saw that would be very, very difficult to see in other platforms, okay, and that really will allow you to really hone, enhance, and refine and optimize your trading, okay, looking for that one or two-tick advantage here and there. Mohamed did, well the oil contract here is September, is the one that's trading in the gold contract, August has the most volume at the moment, okay, just do a quick search for CME volume and you'll see volume for CL or GC, right, and you'll see what contract you should be on.  Well, you get it for, yeah, for three months, so if you started today, you know, you would get it until October 26, how many markets can you cover? Well, that's actually, it's a good question, is broker specific, if you are trading with, oh, I don't know, a CQG and your broker, I think, I mean, we basically allow unlimited symbols, okay, but the broker won't, so, or your data provider, so check with them, some allow five, some allow up to, like, you know, unlimited or 15 or 10 or something like that, okay, I know that DX feed, for example, that we, you know, partner with here, day offer 10 for stocks, okay, all right, guys, let's wrap it up, we'll call it a day, no more questions here, and let's catch up tomorrow, okay, have a good day.


I would like to summarize briefly at the end of our session. Can you name please three major challenges for your country today on the national, regional and global level? Who will to start? No, I can't. Well, on the national level, it's as always ensuring a sustainable economic growth in the very challenging environment. Thankfully, we have a positive growth of 4% something like this year. But we are not complacent and we need to make sure that this economic growth is spread and the benefits benefit as wide the scope of the population as possible. On the regional level, I already mentioned several things. Perhaps I should highlight that the biggest challenge that we face on the regional, the biggest opportunity perhaps, challenge slash opportunity lies in the word connectivity. And this is the buzzword right now. We want it to be developed. We see this Belt and Road Global Gateway PGI by G7 all as complimentary and as benefiting not just our region but all these outside players on the global level. I think the biggest challenge is how to make sure that the United Nations system again works. Our president addressed this issue in numerous statements including at the United Nations General Assembly stating that the role of the General Assembly needs to be strengthened as the most representative body and the Security Council needs to be reformed. And the voice of the middle powers of which Kazakhstan is one should be strengthened. Thank you very much, Mr. Kastanian. I guess the challenges are pretty the same. For national level, this is to continue the ambitious democratic reform agenda that we started in 2018 after the Velvet Revolution and these reforms will and are supporting the economic growth of my country. On the regional level of course this is the normalization of relations with our neighbors and opening of regional communications. And on international level this is to make the international tools and mechanisms adequately working without any reluctance. Because sometimes the geopolitical prevails and in that case some of the regions are under the shadow. And the presence in this panel in the audience is a clear identification of another identification or example of this. Because during the panel of very honorable Minister Kuleba the audience was full. During the panel, this panel when we are talking about the challenges in Central Asia and South Caucasus and I do believe that these regions are not less important. What is going on here? The whole is half empty although it's half full as well and there were no questions. Thank you very much. We are perfect with our timing and I would like really to thank Raman Vasilienka, Deputy Minister for the Affairs of Kazakhstan and Vahan Kastanyan, Deputy Minister for the Affairs of Armenia. Thank you so much for this substantial conversation.


Cuba is set to hold a popular referendum on its new family code. If passed, the code will change the concept of what constitutes a family and expand women's rights and LGBTQ plus rights. On September 18th, Cuban citizens living abroad voted on this family code and on September 25th, citizens in Cuba will vote to decide whether to approve or reject the new progressive family code. The referendum is an unprecedented democratic exercise in Cuba. It is for the first time in the country's history that a referendum on the code is being held. Until now, only constitutional referendums have been held in the country. It is also a pioneering event on the global level as Cuba has become the first country in the world to have submitted a family code to popular consultation and referendum. The new family code is considered to be the most inclusive and progressive code in the world. The new code guarantees the right of all people to form a family without discrimination. It legalizes same-sex marriages and allows such couples to adopt children. It allows for parental rights to be shared among extended and non-traditional family structures that could include grandparents, step-parents, and surrogate mothers. It also adds provisions for pre-nuptial agreements and assisted reproduction. It boosts women's rights by recognizing women's work in the household. It promotes equal sharing of domestic responsibilities and extends labor rights to those who care full-time for children, the elderly, or people with disabilities. It establishes the right to a family life free from violence that values love, affection, solidarity, and responsibility. It codifies domestic violence penalties and outlaws corporal punishment. It states that parents will have responsibility instead of custody of children and be required to be respectful of the dignity and physical and mental integrity of children and adolescents. It also asserts that parents should grant maturing offspring more safe over their lives. Cuba's current family code was written in 1976. It was one of the only aspects not addressed by the 2019 constitutional reform. In 2018, during the discussions and meetings on constitutional changes, it was found that there was significant support for the recognition of marriage outside of the heteronormative conception. After the new constitution was approved in February 2019, the members of the drafting commission began working on a new family code. By September 2021, 22 versions of the new code had been presented. In December 2021, the National Assembly approved the draft. This was then submitted to popular consultations in February 2022. Nearly six and a half million people participated in this popular consultation from February to April 2022. This constituted 76% of the total population. Over 330,000 interventions were made by the Cuban people in more than 79,000 meetings throughout the country, leading to changes to nearly half of the content of the draft. This draft, with suggestions from citizens, underwent a new evaluation by the National Assembly and was unanimously approved in June. Now it is awaiting its ratification in the popular referendum. As established in the constitution, all citizens over 16 years of age are eligible to vote in the referendum. The new code must receive more than 50% of the ballot votes in order to be applied as a law. According to the data issued by CEN, 61% of those who were consulted on the referendum said they are in favor of the new code.


Okay here's our problem again from chapter 8 on the confidence interval for a difference in mean and reminding you that we're given the summary data for the samples. We are not given the sigma for the populations either first population or second population. So that tells us we have to use the t distribution as does the fact that we've got less than 30 for our sample size. So we're going to use pH stat in Excel to solve this rather than crunch all the numbers and build these equations and crunch the numbers. So the first thing we're going to do is go to add ends pH stat and you might be tempted to use the confidence interval table there or the dialog box. But if you look we've got mean mean population variance, population variance, population total, total difference. That's not the mean difference. That's not going to help us. So let's go to two sample tests. We've got summarize data and then we have a choice here of three different t-test and f-test, z-test, and so forth. We want to use the t-test for equal variances. Remember it told us that the variance were equal. In pH stat parlance that's pool variance and in many stat books it's called pool variance. So let's just click on pool variance and we'll bring up this dialog box. Let me move it out of the way here so we can see our data. The hypothesis size difference is always zero for mean difference. Our level of significance alpha is one minus or confidence levels so that would be point one zero. Our first sample size is nine and our second sample size is nine. Our first sample size is four four eight. Our second sample I'm sorry sample mean is four zero one and our first sample standard deviation is five point eight and our second sample deviation is eight point one. We always use a two-tail test for a confidence interval that puts alpha divided by two in each end. On the equal variance option or they call it the pool variance t-test you can click confidence interval. Make sure you put the right confidence interval in there sometimes forget that but it's 90% confidence interval which goes along with our alpha of ten. So we can click okay and we get the screen come up and it has all our input data which is in blue and there's the confidence level it's also input data. Once you generate one of these if you want to go around and just play what if you can change some of the data and it will output new information here. Down in the very bottom we have our upper and lower limits for our confidence level that rounds to 41 for the lower and 53 for the upper and if we go back to our problem those indeed are the answers that they asked for. So that's really how quick you can solve it just as a reminder if you wanted to check these upper and lower levels the output here gives us the difference in the actual sample means 47 and it gives us a standard error to find the margin of error that you add into track from the sample difference you just multiply the standard error times the upper and lower level let's just do that real quick lower level lower limit upper limit and I'm going to use equal my difference in two means plus I'm going to put it in parentheses my standard error multiplied by my lower critical value close I did it again that standard error in there I forgot to click it hard enough and that gets my lower level which is same value there upper level equal difference plus parentheses standard error times upper critical value of t and so that's I keep messing up there got to add in there we go Excel's messing up tonight 52.79 same answers that we get there so just to show you that you can do that and the reason I show you that if you're solving for the unequal variances in ph stat it does not give you directly a checkbox to get the confidence interval for some reason but it gives you again the standard error and the difference in the means and the critical values and you can solve for the upper and lower limits on the unequal variances the same way let me just show you that here is the same problem I worked using the unequal variances and as I said it didn't give us the upper and lower limits but I calculated the lower limits the same way the difference plus the standard error multiplied times the lower limit gives you those values so it's a very useful tool


So now let's take a look at capacitors and circuits where you actually have to solve the full circuit. And this is a strategy that I like to teach my students to help them keep their information organized as they solve the circuit. So let's start with just a two-capacitor circuit. And so we're going to have the first capacitor, the second capacitor, and the equivalent capacitance, as well as the voltages and the charges on each capacitor and the equivalent amount. Each one of the rows are defined by our capacitance equation, which can be rearranged to solve for the voltage or to solve for the charge on each capacitor. Depending on whether my capacitors are in parallel or series, we'd have some column equations. If it's in parallel, it's this set of equations. If it's in series, it's this set of equations. And these are the ones that I derived in my earlier videos. So I'm not going to derive them again. Now let's go ahead and do an example where we're working with parallel. And I'm going to start with some numbers that we've already kind of worked with, with a two-farad capacitor, a three-farad capacitor. And let's connect those in parallel to a 12-volt battery. Well, the trick here with working with this kind of a table is realizing whenever I have a column or row where there's only one blank, I can solve for that blank. In this case, when I look at my first column here, I can find the equivalent capacitance. And in parallel, that's just adding the two. So that will give me my five farads. When I go to the rows then, I notice that on this bottom row, I actually have two values with only one unknown. And so I could solve for the charge by taking my values here and multiplying them. So I would have my five farads times 12 volts, which is going to give me 60 coulombs. Now you might stop at this point and say, but I don't have any rows or columns left with only one unknown. But in the table, there's always going to be one column. And in parallel, it's the voltage column where all the values are equal. And that means once I know my 12 here, I actually know it for each one of these values has to have the same amount. And that means I can now come back in and find my charge 1 and my charge 2 by multiplying the capacitance and the voltage. As an extra check, you'll notice that if I actually go in and add up my two charges, I come up with the same value. And that's my last check because charge 1 plus charge 2 should equal my 60 coulomb charge equivalent. And that's if it's going to be a parallel circuit. So now let's come back here and actually take a look at a series circuit. So I'm going to blank my table out. And I'm going to jump here to my series equations and think about what do I need to do? Again, I start here and I've got my capacitances. So I need to find my equivalent capacitances. Now, I've already worked with this particular one in one of my earlier videos, so I know that that's 1.2 Farads. So now I can come over here and find my charge. And if I take that value, I find that the 1.2 Farads times the 12 volts gives me 14.4 coulombs. Again, one of my columns will be the special column. And for a series circuit, that's the charges. So that means I've got 14.4 here and 14.4 here. To come back and find my voltages then, I would need to fill in the charge divided by the capacitance. So 14.4 divided by 2 gives me the 7.2. And if I do the same thing on the second row, 14.4 divided by 3 gives me 4.8. And as a check, you should make sure that the 7.2 and the 4.8 actually do add up to give me my 12 volts. So if you organize your information, it's easier to see what's associated with each capacitor and what equations do I use for a row versus what equations do I use for a column. And as long as you're given three pieces of information that relate to each one of these rows, we'll have enough information to be able to solve the entire circuit.


Happy birthday to Virgo's. Happy birthday to you. You guys, it is Virgo season. Welcome back to my channel on today's my birthday. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So happy birthday, especially starting today, August 23rd. We're going to take a look at the your birthday month, Virgo, to see what's going on with you. What do you have going on? What's going on for you, Virgo? Hope you're all doing well. Please hit that subscribe button. Smash the like button if you are new and welcome back everyone. Hello everyone in the chat. Please be mindful. The messages are general. So they may or may not resonate. We're going to take a look at this time period, August 23rd through September 23rd, 24th to see what your what's going on for your birthday, Virgo. What's going on for you? If you want to get a personal reading from me, there's a link in the description box below. Just go to my website, moonpatero.com and you can start booking your readings for September. Okay, you've got sunglasses, someone's watching, looking, stalking, focusing outward. Okay, that could be another person. That could be you.  That's what I feel like kind of hiding behind those glasses, playing cool, being Joe Cool. Okay, so yeah, you've got somebody here definitely who's just spying on you, watching, they're stalking you behind the scenes, they're not letting you know. Okay, so that's all for the month, August through September. Okay, what else is going on? Some of you are going to buy a brand new pair of sunglasses. Maybe you just bought a pair of sunglasses and you're looking pretty good in them. Okay, let's see. What else does Virgo need to know? Talking. Okay, someone's interested in you. Wow, there's going to be some conversation happening during your birthday months. Okay, maybe you're talking to somebody right now. Maybe you meet somebody or you're talking to someone who wears sunglasses all the time. Okay, this could be a lover, could be a friend, but there's an awaited message that's arriving. There's a text, call mail, call, call mail, text, call, email, voicemail. There's a little bit of hovering going on here. So somebody's, like I said, somebody's watching and waiting for an opportunity to talk to you. They're going to respond, they're interested, they want to talk more. So look at how she's kind of like, looks like she's looking at her laptop.  Okay, all right, that's interesting. Oh, you got twin flames again. Okay, Virgo, another twin flame reading. Here we go. Complimenting each other. Okay, two people may be watching each other, keeping tabs, keeping an eye on each other, looking to see if one person is talking to another person or if they're still talking to somebody. Okay, but then there's also like communication comes in.  The overall message is that your twin flame is going to be reaching out to you during your birthday month. All right, let's see what's going on with you. You've got the eight of cups here.  You know, you're looking for that ninth cup, which would be like that one more big giant cup. Contentment, happiness, and joy.  It looks like you, oops, sorry, it looks like you're on a good path in your life.  And it feels like that eight of cups is kind of like temporary separation. You're not heavily investing in any people, places or things really, you're just truly asking yourself what it is you want, and you're investing in yourself at this time, which is good. Okay, so, you know, you're standing out on the, you know, looking out at the horizon, looking at the sky, making wishes on stars, counting your, counting your, looking at the moon, making, setting your intentions with the moon every night, like, I just kind of feel like you go out, you're, you're outside somewhere, and you're kind of on your own, and you're thinking about stuff and, and, you know, maybe some of you doing some journeying or healing work as well, because that eight of cups can be like a card of journey. So maybe you're journaling or you're doing some just kind of looking out just like the horizon they're giving me to see, you know, what else is out there making wishes. A lot of you are spending time outside at night, okay, on your own. Okay, so I see you, you might be doing that now, or you'll be doing that a lot more in like through your birthday month, let's see, what else is going on here? What else is going on for Virgo? What is Virgo up to? Okay, get a king of sorts here. So you might be thinking of someone who is an air sign, Libra Gemini Aquarius, this person's kind of like coldish, some of you may or might be like trying to manifest a communication or a message from this person, now they don't have to be an air sign, they can just have kind of like this energy of they just all talk and not much going on in the way of romance. Okay, as far as a love reading goes, I feel like this person with this king of sorts energy, they come across to me as being pretty curt, I don't know, maybe their name is curt, pretty curt or to the point, you know, very airy, very light on their feet. Okay, so some of you are hoping for, I'm going to say like a reconciliation with someone, or for this person to open up more and I like I said it doesn't have to be an air sign, it's just whoever your person is, you have someone in your mind who they just come across to me as not, I feel like surface or just kind of like a matter of fact type of a person. Okay, they're very matter of fact. But it's like when will they open up? That's what I feel like is going on.   They come to terms with knowing what they need to do, or that they need to open up more to you or spill the beans and kind of like, give me a second, they're giving me this. Okay. So I feel like this person has, I don't know if it's a fear judgment that but they're kind of like, are you going to judge them? They say to themselves, is Virgo going to judge me if I open up and tell them everything? Okay, so they're a little bit hesitant about moving forward. I feel like that's why they're watching you to try to like suss you out a little bit. But I also feel like for you, like there will be some conversation, this person is going to open up and some message that you'll be waiting to hear or you have been waiting to have some kind of conversation with your twin flame, they are going to open up here. Some of you may not have even met your twin flame and this person is definitely showing up during your birthday month. Okay. But for you, I feel you're becoming more transparent in your life. Like I feel like you're more in a position here where you know what? I'm just going to be myself. You've been journeying or journaling. You've been doing the work.  And I feel like for you, you're just like, I'm here. I'm open. I have nothing to lose now in my life. You know what I mean? Like I feel like that's kind of your energy. And I feel like this person is sensing that and they're going to start, you know, being the same way and start really seeing you for who you are. Like, I feel like I said that in the twin flame reading that I just did, like all of your strengths and your weaknesses, like seeing the full picture, everything that you represent to them. For some of you, September 20th, September 8th will be significant. Also the 28th, they just told me. Okay. So yeah, look at you. Like Virgo, you look amazing. This is your card. You, I don't, you're doing something with yourself and you look extremely amazing, extremely attractive.  Maybe you're dressing better. You are working hard, money in the bank. I mean, this person views you like this as well. And I feel like this person has been waiting for someone like you. I've been waiting for a girl like you waiting for someone like you. Does anybody listen? Put in the comments if you know the lyrics to that song, we're going to play a little music lyric name that band. It's such an old song. But I feel like this person sees that about you, that you are like total package, total package. You've got curves. You're building your muscle. So your physical aesthetic is looking amazing. They see this about you and they know it. And then I feel like, I don't know, you might be showing it. You might be like getting yourself out there, putting yourself out there and looking amazing. But it's not just about the aesthetic as well, because even if it is, and that's something that you're doing with yourself, you're also feeling better about yourself.  Like a typical Virgo always improving. Okay. And this person is seeing the improvements because they're watching you. Absolutely. This person is watching you. Okay. Let me see. Oh, wow. The wheels see here. Things are definitely going to be shifting in your favor during your birthday month, Virgo 100%. You're going to be getting lucky. This person feels like they're getting lucky or that they, if you know them, that they are lucky to have you in their life or that they're lucky to know you, but there's movement here. This is the wheel. Okay. Show me more. What else is going on? So a lot of things are shifting and changing for you. Okay. So here you're showing up as a queen of wands. Okay. Some of you might be showing up as a king of swords as well, where you're definitely getting clarity, but you're also showing up as someone who is physically attractive, bold, brave, courageous. Okay. Like you have the queen of wands, whether it's male or female energy, the queen of wands has the power to shift things. She's confident. There's a lot of confidence. And I feel like this person sees that confidence within you as well. And very like queen of wands is very popular.   Do you know what I mean? Like what, however you're taking care of yourself, your self-care and your self-love vibrating outwardly outward. Okay. I mean, this is like jackpot. This is like, you're going to have me, you might even hit some kind of jackpot as well. If you're doing any kind of gambling or going to Vegas or anything like that.  It is somewhat of a, some money coming in for you. Okay. So I like it. I like it a lot, but I love your confidence here.  You're just kind of like, I know I'm the chef and this person sees that, but it's not like vanity, although the queen of wands can be a little mean. It's just confidence. They're very attracted to you. This person is very, very, it could be a fire sign that you have a twin flame connection with Leo Sagittarius Aries. Could be air, Libra, Gemini Aquarius. For some of you, it can be another Virgo. It could be Scorpio. It could be Taurus. It could be an Aquarius for some of you. All right. Let's see what else is going on. Oh yeah. There's definitely, you're getting some kind of gift for your birthday or you're getting some kind of communication or somebody telling you, offering to take you out somewhere that they're going to pay for something and be like, no, I got this. Okay. So there's communication definitely coming in in this time period, but you for yourself, you're also thinking about money, putting your plans into place, thinking about how you're going to build, maybe your business, how you can secure investors for something. Could be money getting a loan, receiving a loan for anything, any huge kind of asset or an investment or something like that. You could be receiving a message about that as well for some of you. So you're definitely a message. Page of wands and page of pentacles here. Okay. Some of you are going to meet somebody's children. Somebody has two children. Okay.   There's going to be some involvement with children. Definitely. There could be a trip. You might be going somewhere with someone. Maybe there's nieces and nephews. There could be, let me see what's going on with these two because I'm just picking up a real strong energy. You might be a single parent or they might be a single parent. They don't have to be. Let me just take a look and see what's going on with these because okay. Yeah. Okay. You could be connecting with a friend that has kids as well. You could in some of you might be meeting someone new who has children or connecting with a friend who has kids as well. I don't know if that's connected. That's this person or whatever's going on, but also I want to tell you if it's not the children thing, there's also a lot of communication going back and forth with this person and like making a connection. Okay. I feel like this person asks you out or asks to connect with you. Did you hear that? That's a sign. And you guys are like figuring out where to go and this person is like, oh, I'm going to pay for it or I'm going to take care of everything. That's just a really small message. Oh my gosh, look the ace of cups. So you've got a love situation happening here. Okay. Let me take a look. I want to see more what your what else your energy is. Let's just focus more on you because it is your birthday month. Virgo, it is your birthday month August through September. What else is going on here with Virgo? Okay. You got some competition. Yep. Wow. Okay. Some challenges and some obstacles, but you're very positive. Your energy is very positive. Okay. Let's see. You also got the lovers. Okay. Oh, and the emperor. Okay.  You know the kind of person you're looking for. And that emperor comes through male or female energy is someone who's just honest, forthcoming, direct. They are someone who is a good caretaker. There's also somebody here that has children as well, or there's someone that can be a good provider or someone that would want to have children, that kind of thing, like a family person. But I see there's a lot of obstacles and challenges with this because you're kind of like, Oh, I got to wait. You have to wait if that's something that you want. I feel like spirits like, Yeah, keep telling them. Yeah. You know, this is something that there's obstacles and challenges to this for you at this time, not even to have children, but even to meet someone. And maybe they have young children and some of you might be like, nah, I'm not doing that. You could be a lot older. You could meet someone that has grandchildren as well. Okay. A lover, a partner. Okay. But it could be your twin flame. It just really depends. But let me get back to you here. Okay. So yeah, you've got some obstacles and challenges coming up with travel, I feel. Okay, let me see. Because there's like plans being made in Virgo season. But there's also this thing where it's like, there's some bickering about this. Okay. Hmm. And the star. I feel like it's going to resolve. This might just be like I was saying, there's there's a lot of sorting out that's that is needing to be done here with you and somebody else. Okay. A lot of sorting out some obstacles, problems or challenges. Okay. But that star energy makes me feel like things will resolve. Okay, there will be a renewal. Keep the faith. Don't let any kind of obstacles or challenges that you face during this time period deter you from being able to like stay on the path. That's what I feel like. Keep. Oh, wait, they're just giving me a phrase. How does it go? Well, it's keep the faith really, despite the challenges here. Don't give up hope. Keep your eye, keep your eye on the prize, whatever those prizes are for you. Don't quit.  But I feel like whatever, okay, so whatever the issues are, like if you're trying to get someone or be with someone or have your twin flame, make that love offer, no matter what the challenges are, I feel like this person 100% is going to be coming in and proposing something or making like offering you their heart during Virgo season. Okay. And I feel like you might get discouraged sometimes and just feel like maybe it's not worth it. Maybe you should just try to go with somebody else or wait for somebody else to come in.  I know it kind of sounds shallow, but I just feel like you've been waiting either for your twin flame or for someone to come in and just, you know, knock on your door and just be like, Hey, you know, and, and for things to move easily and twin flame relationships can be difficult. Definitely. And for some of you, you've got some type of thing that you want out of your life and you might be feeling like, Oh, it's never going to happen. We're never going to connect not in the way I'm hoping. And that's you just might even be creating those obstacles and challenges yourself. So try to think positively, why wouldn't it happen for you? Why can't things, why can't these wonderful blessings? Okay, the renewal of these good things happen for you? Why not?  Don't give up. Whatever it is, whether it's in your career, your love life, to do with your health, your money, whatever it is, or the things that you want to get for yourself, make it get yourself more established, start a business, whatever, don't give up hope on those things. Okay, because they're coming for you, of course. Okay, five of swords. All right, some of you, you got to cut out a king of cups, perhaps, or lay down some law, or some truth, or you may have a connection with a king of cups, where this person is kind of sharp tongued, or they just think they, well, the five of swords can be a card of someone who is, can be abusive, or seem very abusive, maybe emotionally withdrawn. Okay, so the king of cups can come in as Scorpio, Pisces, or Cancer. Okay, so let's see, let me take a little bit more of a look at this. What's going on with this king of cups? Oh, okay. Now, this might be somebody that you, hold on a second, this might be someone, oh, they just told me, now if you know who this king of cups is, this could be your, your king of swords here, this could be your twin flame for some of you. Okay, there was some kind of like ending with that five of swords, that five is like mismanagement of the emotions and a relationship. This king of cups is having a lot of regret and remorse, feels a sense of loss for whatever this five of swords energy was here. Okay, something, maybe they were an abusive relationship, or now this could be a friend or a lover, this person's coming in here with an apology for you. Okay, it could be a friend, it could be a sibling, it could be a lover, there's definitely an apology. Okay, they were dating and trying to secure something with someone and didn't go too well. And I feel like I've talked about this in a few of your readings recently. But I also feel like either it was a relationship that didn't go well, or there was something going on in their life, where things fell apart, and they're trying to get back on track. Okay, either that's with you, or in their career, or in their life in general, whatever it is. But I feel like this person, because the three of cups is here, I do feel like they were maybe partying a little too much, or they were just kind of spreading themselves thin. I feel like things aren't really working out for them. Are they returning? There might just be an apology or some communication with this person. Are they returning? They could be, this could be your twin flame has been keeping their eye on you and wants to talk to you. They seem to be very stable at this time. And they might have sisters that they're connecting with. They may have some female friends that are also very supportive of them and telling them to reach out to you and apologize. So it doesn't have to be a water sign, but this person is showing up in very watery energy. All right, let me get a couple of Moon Pie cards to see what's going on. Okay, test of faith and boundaries. All right, you're going to need that during Virgo season, because your faith is going to be tested. And I told you that. Don't give up. Keep the faith. You also have the past as returning. So yeah, you've got somebody who's showing up here now. It could just be a happy birthday to you, Virgo. Somebody could just be wishing you a happy birthday, making an apology to you as well for something, but you definitely have a past, it could be a past twin flame. Or it could just be somebody who's showing up here, yeah, to apologize, a message from an admirer. Oh my goodness. So you have three pages. So yeah, message from an admirer. Yeah, you're definitely getting, as I said, a text, a call, an email, and a weighted message. Somebody you've been waiting to hear from or hear back from if you've reached out and they haven't responded. Oh, they're going to be responding. Okay. And this might test your boundaries, because maybe you sent a message. Maybe you're the last one that sent like just a very basic message and they never returned or responded and now they are. And you, yeah, because maybe they were noncommittal, you might now be noncommittal with this person because maybe they took a long time to say hello to you or reach out or respond. Okay. So now you're like, oh, you trying to test me? Is this, is this what's going on here? I don't know who that is. Look at it differently though. It says sometimes you have to let go of old notions, even though you may feel stuck, it's just an illusion. Try seeing the situation from a positive perspective. There's a silver lining, a slight change in view can and will make some type of predicament easier. I feel like you've got somebody coming in here with a sweet text message that's going to tell you they've hit rock bottom. They made a mistake. Remember, we had the karma. Somebody's getting their karma is coming in. You may or may not accept this person back. You may accept an apology. You may not accept them back. You might be over it and moving on with someone else as well. Okay. Somebody knew if it's your twin flame coming back or if this is this person who's apologizing, maybe it was just somebody new from a long time ago and you're like, no, thanks. I'm moving on with my twin flame. Oh my goodness. I'm getting a lot of messages today and y'all know why because it is my birthday. It's my birthday. All right. Let me see. I'm just having fun. I don't really care about this birthday. It'll be big when I hit the big 6 0. All right. They want to give you romance angel message. Okay. You deserve love Virgo. You are lovable. Virgo, you're looking so good and you are so happy with yourself and you feel positive or if you don't, you will be during your birthday month. Just get like this all about you. Remember when you guys, I posted that glyph, the Virgo glyph. It was an M. Let me make it for you. It was M and that's your glyph, right? Wait, how did it go? It's not like I can't remember. Is that it? That's not it. Hold on. You're getting a little lesson. I'm giving you all a little lesson here. The Virgo glyph lesson and I can't turn it around. So wait, let me see. It was, that's it. You see how it says me? Okay. I can't do anything backwards.  I can't do kids. All right. I'd like to see you all do your alphabet upside down. It is, okay. It's all about me. It's a Virgo season. It's all about me. I mean, not me, but you. You know what I mean? Okay, so pay attention to your you this year, this Virgo season, okay? Because you deserve love. You are lovable.  Treat yourself well. You've got a wedding, so you're going to be marrying. This situation involves marriage. So your twin flame is definitely coming back in or is going to be proposing to you. If they're, if you've been in separation or you've just been doing you or you've just been keeping your distance, yeah, this person, does that mean that it's going to happen during Virgo season? It could for some of you. For others, it might not. It could be later, but the situation does involve marriage. Okay. And then one more. Yes, passion, allow your heart and soul to sing with joy.  But as soon as I put music on, I'm just lifted out of that. That just completely lifts me. So if you have like some favorite songs that you listen to or some songs that make you feel good or that just pump you up in some kind of way, try to spend as much time as you can. If it's not music, listening to uplifting things. Okay. Um, if Tara readings are bringing you down, then, you know, find Tara readings that talk about you and your glow up rather than another person. Okay. If you're in that position, okay, you've got to expect powerful change. New moon eclipse. All right. That is going to be this Saturday. New moon eclipse. Um, August 27th. Did I say August 27th? Something powerful is happening. August 27th. And you also have luck is on your side. Again, the wheel of fortune. This is new moon in Sagittarius. I don't know if the new moon is going to be in Sagittarius. Wait, I don't think it's a new, all right. So the new moon on the 27th, just so you know, something's going on in the 27th, either with a Sagittarius or something happened during the last new moon eclipse. A powerful shift happened. You may have felt it. You may not feel it. It could have happened with someone that you've connected with, but there's definitely a shift and a change. All right. Let me take a look and see. Oh, look at that. I just pulled that off the top of the deck and it doesn't even go with this deck. You are good enough Virgo. That's the Virgo card. Remember that you're worth whatever it is that you're, that you wish to manifest or have in your life. Remember, it's all about me. Okay, let's see. Let's take a look at whoever this person is, what their Chinese sign might be. Okay. Okay. We have year of the ox, a year of the snake, year of the rabbits, year of the dragon. Okay, this could be you or that person, year of the rat, year of the rooster, year of the goats and a year of the tiger. Okay. So you know who your person is or it's you or it's no, no, none of you. So don't sweat it if it's not. All right. Let's get some charms and just see. I just want to pull one charm today. I'm still kind of recovering. So I pushed myself a little too quickly after I was feeling better and I needed another day off. Okay. So we have a dress here or a gown. Okay. So some of you might be trying on new clothes or something to do with a dress or you might be looking at wedding gowns or going to a wedding. Okay. You might be thinking about something to do with a wedding coming up, maybe picking out some like a nice suit or a tuxedo for somebody's wedding or a dress or a gown or maybe you're, you might be asked to be a maid of honor in somebody's wedding coming out during Virgo season or attending one. And we also have a sea turtle here or I think it's a sea turtle or it's just a turtle. Okay. So turtles might be significant to you in some way. I mean, it's a Ninja Turtles. Maybe something with the Ninja Turtles. Okay. Somebody likes turtle. Is it no, they just gave me dove chocolate, dove chocolate. Okay. Somebody eats dove chocolate or something to do with doves or dove, maybe soap, dove soap. I don't know why I'm getting this here, but maybe you have a thing for turtles or you really love turtles or you're doing something by the sea. There's something coming up by the sea or somebody lives by aquatic animals could just even be like maybe an aquarium, you go to an aquarium or something along those lines. Well, that was an interesting message and it was a little bit choppy. My apologies for that. I feel like there was a lot of different energies playing through. So it might be several messages, several different messages for you guys to just maybe listen to it again and try to pick up what the energy is. And for some of you, it's just all this one person and a lot of like a lot of complicated stuff happening, but shifts and changes. And just know that somebody is definitely waiting, they're watching and waiting for the right time to come in and have the talk. All right. So I feel like this whole message is, can we talk like we're going to have the talk, the real talk is happening during Virgo season. All right, you guys want to leave that there for you. I hope you enjoy that. I'll try to be back on tomorrow. If I'm not, then I'll be back on the following day, but happy birthday to you guys and do remember, if you want to get a personal reading, there's a link in the description box below this video and I'll see you all very soon. Take care.


The kill of the future U.S. and S. Carson City was authenticated during a ceremony at the Oslo USA shipyard July 31. The mayor of Carson City, the Honorable Robert Crow, etched his initials into the kill plate. Crow confirmed that the kill of the ship had been truly and fairly laid. Navy installations around the globe are replacing outdated fluorescent bulbs with the more cost-effective tubular LED lights. The LED lights are being installed in administrative buildings, athletic facilities, light lights, and parking garages, saving money and contributing to the Navy's energy efficiency efforts. And finally, in a tradition dating back to World War II, student pilots, friends, and families attended a blessing of the wing ceremony at the NAS Corpus Christi Chapel. Hundreds of aviator wings and other insignia are displayed on tapestries throughout the chapel. They represent the blessed wings of aviators dating back to December 7, 1941.

We're live here in the Silicon Valley area at MarkLogic 2015 our logic world I'm Jeff Kelly with Wikibon. I'm here with my co-host for the day Jeff Frick And we're joined with by our next guest. Her name is Beverly Jamison. She is the senior director IT architecture and publishing solutions at the American Psychological Association. That's a mouthful. We're happy to have you here Thank you. Pleased to be here. So Jeff and I were looking into your background a little bit before the interview And we see that you your background is in graph theory and classic Combinatorics. Now Jeff and I looked at each other. We said first question got to understand what is combinatorics? Graph theory is actually a portion of the field of combinatorics. It's the larger field of combinations, permutations and a lot of discrete math on which some of computer science is based Well, so let's talk a little bit about your organization and what your role there is tell us a little bit about The APA kind of its mission its core charter and kind of what you do there American Psychological Association is the trade association for psychologists So they perform the typical functions of a membership organization with roughly 140,000 Psychologists in it in addition to that APA is an academic publisher That's actually probably its major business unit. We produce the psych info database It's like Medline that covers the field of psychology and we publish books and journals psychological tests and measures videos and the like Psych info database for example has about four million records in it So we we deal with large quantities of data Supporting that the technology that provides all that content to your members Everything from the production of it to business to business interchanges to the delivery to our end users So tell us a little bit about your relationship with Mark logic You know you're here obviously at Mark logic world I think you were just giving a talk tell us a little bit about some of the things you're doing with Mark logic and how you're using No sequel technology to support some of those things. You just talked about sure we We started out as kind of a classic case for the use of Mark logic back when it was referred to as an XML database kind of before no sequel Movement of today got started. We were a media company. We had large quantities of XML We had just gone through the big transform from SGML to XML But we had different pipelines all over the place coming through so Mark logic was a great opportunity To use a native XML database the relational databases were putting XML in but it was kind of early days It wasn't scaling whereas Mark logic was built for it So it was a very natural fit and we also kind of knew what to do with it and get all our production to terminate there And we grew from that to using it for business to business exchange and then finally Moving our search into Mark logic So you've seen the kind of the evolution of Mark logic over a number of years How would you characterize kind of the direction they're moving is it more to a full-featured? Kind of approach database platform versus kind of a more specific niche tool that it was maybe a few years back That was kind of exactly our experience and it coincided well with our our needs Once when we moved our search into Mark logic the biggest gain that we saw actually was in our data flow We cut 40% off our time to market because we produced the data in the same place that we delivered it And it was a fast fast move from there, but it also meant that kind of all the angles of that publishing business were flowing through Mark logic and Then the then our public website decided they wanted all those search features too So now we had multiple websites using Mark logic and all of a sudden it was in a different place in our infrastructure instead of being There for a very specific function It was now the core place for data services to happen and it meant we needed to think about it differently And fortunately for us Mark logic was also thinking about it differently And how was that value delivered to to the users of the data? What were you seeing in terms of their behavior and their feedback and what they were doing that they couldn't do before they could do better? Because the first thing people noticed just was the data of getting to them more quickly But also live alerts which had been a little bit of a specialty feature before now Anyone whether they were students or academic users or members in the member services area For example could sign up for alerts either ones We had prepackaged or anything that they wanted to create so people noticed that and then In some ways some of the features were things that People didn't notice then as they they wouldn't notice that you could take all kinds of Related data act as if it were the same and your type ahead still worked in your highlighting still worked So some of the changes just everything worked the way that you did the increased speed and access drive an increase in consumption Yes, it did when we first launched that search The feedback all around was it was zippy That helps and then on our public website it also allowed us to be more of a communication channel Okay, we were we were able to add features like What we call best bets or APA recommends so someone could throw a term at us. We could show them Things that we thought they might want to see Documents that we knew were of some importance in the field. We could at the say we could show that on the same page We could adjust our relevance algorithms to to tune for them So a lot of those features I think just it helped people find things, but it also helped us communicate things to people any big surprises any positive unintended consequences of suddenly this improved performance Well, of course one of the Things you get with improved performances. They always say in technology the only thing that grows, you know faster than More storage more speed is the demand for more Nothing is one more right? We learned how to do clustering and scaling really quickly because more applications went on to to mark logic and Usage went up. Yeah, we'll talk about you We hear it hit the conference here in mark logic's marketing around there the only enterprise no single database So, you know when you talk about the term enterprise, you know, what does that mean? What does enterprise grade really mean to a practitioner from your perspective? You know, certainly as you start to use mark logic for a number of use cases Kind of scaling that out clearly it became critical part of your business And I'm guessing whatever enterprise grade means to you was important to you that it What are some of those things that our logic provides from an enterprise grade capability That allows you to have confidence in it to support so many wide-ranging use cases The clustering and the configuration management came a couple versions ago and they were greatly Desired because all of a sudden many different applications needed to interact with mark logic And if we made a change we just we needed to test it You know much more majorly way and we needed to be able to deploy potentially to multiple environments. We needed to scale up the DR capabilities and We were also particularly grateful for the extremely smooth DR swap over Part of that's the way the clustering moved also part of it is just the The code is in what they call their modules database. So deploying your code is transactional just as Deploying data is so you did not have to worry about what's going to happen to your files while you're deploying code Old stuff's there this stuff's there, you know end of story and That's good for deployments, but it is also really good for for DR So another you know important topic here, of course semantics Talk a little bit about that and what how that's translated at your organization to actually provide real value to your two members Semantics in part allow us to diversify how we look at the data. We started out pure x-query and Of course in the no-sequel world. We headed to to Jason and With the RDF triples It means that we can look at the data as relationships as you kind of expected the American Psychological Association Relationships are important things or you can think of relationships between people entities But also between a condition and its treatment. I mean just a lot of things where we want to capture that information So in that sense it allows us to model what's going on in a more direct way But in addition to that semantics brings types of computation it's a type of data representation, but then sparkle is also a way to reason on it and That allowed us to do Some things that made our business pretty happy pretty quick a simple one APA produces guidelines in psychology and at one point they they had one on diversity I Think minorities and the like and they wanted to know well did this have much impact? We could do the traditional thing we could get a citation count or maybe a download count from the website But with semantics a push of the button and I could take that guideline and say not only who cited it But who cited them and who cited them and you could just watch how it permeated the field You can see some papers will kind of go a certain distance and then they've hit their max others You can just see them We could show Our CEO and his board really quickly what happened That's great, and then you just came out of a session before we got you on So what was your session on for the people that weren't able to attend the session was on the dramatic and glamorous topic of continuous integration Which is a means of making sure when you change one thing that you didn't break something else Again, it's a reflection of the extent to which mark logic has just permeated our infrastructure that we need to be able to Build a robust application We also need to be able to have mark logic as part of a multi-tiered application Taking advantage of what pretty much everybody's doing these days with html5 stack We want to have angular sitting there on the user's browser or you know on their laptop or their phone We use node in the middle use mark logic on the back end We want a very smooth flow, and we also want things modular so that we can plug one component Into another and continuous integration Provides the discipline to make sure that each piece is tested when a change is made Not you know not the least of which is of course you can set this up so that if anybody broke Anything and everybody gets an email right away Okay, well we've got just a couple minutes left So I want to give you opportunity to talk a little bit about what's on your road map I mean when you look at what you know mark logic is doing in terms of developing the database and new features I'm sure that's got a lot of ideas going on in your head about what we can do next What's kind of to the extent that you can share what's kind of top-of-line for you And one of the things you're gonna be working on the next six to all month One of the things is greater Visual presentations of our data Nice as it is to have search and facets Notice right now for example You can search on an author and get a nice list of their publications But of course in today's world what people would love to see is Picture of the author yeah exactly so we we have a lot of those coming You know down the pike whether it's people or topics or organizations Another one is the ability to build much more complex tools We've we've done a little bit in the area of providing tools for practitioners or educators or students But we're we're trying to do a lot more than content is helpful, but It's a more active world and then what about mobile are you seeing a big impact on mobile in your world or is that? Not necessarily hit this this group that hard yet. It has I mean that's the reason for wanting the HTML stack And it's the reason that much as I love semantics the thing that I was the most excited about in Mark logic 8 was angular node json being native to it because yes you You will be blasted out of the water if you say you're going to put something out there that it doesn't work well on a Yeah, right Well some great insights Beverly Jamison from the American Psychological Association. Thanks for joining us on the queue Appreciate it. Hopefully we'll see you back here next year at Mark logic world Thanks for watching stick around. We'll be right back live here at Mark logic world 2015 Right after this quick break
