Hey, what's up everybody? This is her and I'm about to push-play. I think the song that motivates me is Beat It by Michael Jackson. The beat in the song and the Eddie Van Halen guitar solo probably motivates me. Oh, I think Sicko Mode by Travis Scott really gets me going. I mind him playing this. Man, I'm probably listening to some Chade or something. I don't know, some Kendrick. It's a good balance. Money Trees, that's probably my song. Before live performance, I listen to a lot of gospel music. This artist her name is Naomi. It's a song called Pour Me Out that I really like. I listen to that before I go on stage. I can't stop listening to Six Summers by Anderson Pack right now. That's my song. Being in Love, yes. There's a song by a DeAngelo. It was a Roberta Flack song. But DeAngelo did a cover of it and it's called Feel Like Making Love. It's a really happy song. I don't even have any exits. No. Any Adele song. Any Adele song. Chasing Pavements is probably one of my favorites. That's a good song for break up. A song that makes me get up and dance no matter what.  Because I'm from Vallejo. I'm from the Bay Area. And that's a song that's going to get me to stand up and dance no matter what. No matter who's around. Okay, the song that I like to listen to really loudly is Lil Shek West. That's my song.


Gold contract right now trading up $7.40, that's $17.96 an ounce. We have Silver up $0.19, $22.38 an ounce, LightSuite crude off a half a buck, $78.96 a barrel, notes and bonds. Down $7.6, trading $128.10, $30 off $25 at $155.05 in Kingdollah. Kingdollah's down $600, tick-straight $95.722, Euro is $113, the ends at $115.56 and the British Pounds at $135 to $1 at US Dollar. We can open and take a look at the spy as well as the end of the X folks and what you have here is this. You definitely get a contraction of volume. The bottom line, we don't have a full rejection of lower price, but when you have a contraction of volume like this, so check it out. Wednesday we've done 104 million shares. Yesterday 86 million, today you're going to be about 65. That's how you want to see pullbacks, that's the bottom line and that is going against 135. Let's say we're going to be going topside again, going after those highs and I expect a contraction of volume as we actually get up to. Ndx 100, so what you have with the Ndx, the lower end of the consolidation is 377, you hit 378, 04. The Ndx is going to be interesting because what you have is this, is that we're going to still do, yesterday we did like 70 million, the day before you did 75, we're going to do 70 million today. So the Ndx is building cars to break this consolidation. I suspect the Ndx 350 is going to be game in this Ndx. Gold, we take a look at the gold contract out here, what do you have with gold? Gold contract out here, hit a low of 1781 and 1781 is the high of the lows. So that's what you want to be looking at when I talk about these a lot, 1781, 30. Oh man, this is even sicker. So check this out, is that right? Yeah, it is. So this is a cool little, it's not a trick folks, but for some reason markets like doing this. So the high of the low that was generated out here, December 15th, was $781.30. Well, guess what? The low today is 781.30. Rejected it and now you're at 1796. That's what you like to see if you're bullish. Stay right there folks, come right back.


Can you see that? It's amazing how busy the trains are these days. Well, they're closed, I mean. They went a lot, they said. Who only wants to get to the terminal? They do. They do. There's a nice number of people on it. And to think, they wanted to shut from there. Yeah? They wanted to shut. Oh, right. You said they're the same. They're not deep, are they? It stays quite warm. Bits have been dug out years ago. Now, you can see they've put a sort of a more gird of bridge basically on top of the stone bridge. Yeah, yeah. Just keep your arms and legs in circus, make clearances a little bit tight in places. Before we go, can I do it again? Yeah, of course you can. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Okay.


Welcome to JSA TV, the newsroom for tech and telecom professionals. I'm Jamie Scott Okutaya here at Telecom Exchange Los Angeles with my good friend Dr. Julie Albright. She is the digital sociologist, author of an amazing book. We'll get to that in a second. Ted Talk Speaker and I'm Mason's member, board member I should say. So if you don't know Julie, actually most of you probably should if you haven't. But we are so excited that you are here. She just was our keynote today here at Telecom Exchange LA. We've been having a fabulous time exploring sort of excerpts, if you will, from your book called Left to their Own Devices. How digital natives are reshaping the American dream, fabulous book. And so let's start with, I know there's like so much, but how has technology changed our pursuit of happiness in the American dream? Well in the book I look at how people used to chase what you called the American dream. The idea that you're going to grow up and get married, buy a home, have children, buy a car and have 2.5 kids. Many people went to church, they joined a political party, they joined local clubs like the Rotary, all these sorts of things. And all that's changing now. For example, you look at older people that went through World War II, about 65% of them or more were married by the time they were 32 years old. And now it's only about 25%. So it's a market change. And these changes go through everything from getting a driver's license to car ownership to home ownership. So it's really shifting around values and behaviors. And frankly there's a lot of companies that are sort of scrambling to figure out these changes, to figure out where to position themselves going forward. And so this digital generation, these millennials and others who are being raised with the internet just always available, they're becoming detached, untethered is the word you use in your book. Tell us about that. Yeah, so this idea that the young people are unhooking from these traditional stabilizing, we could say, social structures and are hyper attached to digital technology. So a lot of their validation of self, their identity and whatnot becomes reinforced by social media likes and shares and comments and all that. So they become very externally driven around that kind of thing. So it's really a change. Young people are always concerned about and tuned into how they fit in and how others are taking them. But this really amplifies out to a global scale and the pressure on them is enormous. And so speaking generally, are they happy? Well, we see now, at least I'm in the university, we see the highest rates in 30 years of things like anxiety, depression and suicides. And so I view this also physical illnesses like obesity, for example. I view this as a sort of a public health crisis issue where we just, and I'm not about throwing phones away at all or not being on social media or any of it. But it's just we need to be a little more conscious and I think sort of recalibrate our relationship between ourselves, each other, our bodies, nature and our devices. And so how are we as business owners and leaders, how are we able to incentivize and keep this younger generation in our workforce? Right. So I think, you know, some of the things that the workplace can do is really provide an anchor place for young people. They're not getting it from a marriage. They're often not getting it from a community because they're moving place to place. They're not getting it from the church by and large. So where are they finding this anchor spot? And a lot of them don't have friends now, too, by the way. So the idea that, you know, maybe the workplace is a place where you could do team building around a nature event or around some kind of philanthropy or something where you're part of something bigger than yourselves and building those connections and also offering support and wellness type of things. You know, maybe it's a different way of thinking about what business is about. But as I mentioned today, if you've got employees melting down, that's not good for anybody. And it's expensive to replace these employees. So let's maybe rethink the perks and rethink, you know, what business is and can be for young people that need an anchor point in the world to stabilize themselves. Yeah. And work remotely, offer childcare if they need it. Yeah. So one of the things we were talking about was, you know, there's more unmarried people and thus more children born to unwed mothers, you could say. And so over the course of time, if you want to attract females, maybe childcare is the thing to offer. So, you know, this sort of out of the box thinking in a way where you're looking at the demographic and behavioral shifts and saying, how do we sort of adjust ourselves to this new value set, new behavior set coming in amongst young untethered adults is what I call them. Yeah. And your recent TED Talk, of course, I highly recommend it. It's on YouTube. You had just done it this summer, right? Yes. So it's really one of the newest TED Talks out there. But you finished your interview with this big question. How can we be happier? How can we reconnect? So can we pick up from there any tips? Yeah.   And so how can we sort of get back on the road? And we're not going to do that isolated in a room. We're going to do that together. We're social creatures and we need to sort of have a balance between that time alone with a device and the time with each other and find moments for that in our lives. Absolutely. Thank you, Dr. Julie Albright. And folks, please note her book left to their own devices. How digital natives are we shaping the American dream? A Must-Read now available on Amazon. Thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you so much for having me. And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV. Happy networking.


Hi and welcome to People's Dispatch. We're here with Surya Anta from Indonesia, who's here to tell us about his organization and his struggle. So if you could start maybe with the presentation of where you come from, your organization. I come from Jakarta, Indonesia. I'm a spokesperson of the People's Liberation Party and also spoke to spoke person for Indonesia people from for West Papua, solidarity group from Indonesia who support the struggle for independence for West Papua. So with both of these organizations, what is the goal? What are the objectives of these organizations? We are an organization who fight for social justice, fight for a better life, fight for a better situation in democracy and economic, social and culture in Indonesia. And right now what are the concrete struggles that you're taking on with your party? We also are campaigning about against this thing, shrinking democracy by the militarisms and undemocratic regulations and also the violations of human rights to the people of Indonesia and people of West Papua. And what is the biggest challenge of being an activist with kind of a revolutionary perspective in Indonesia? The biggest challenging is that in Indonesia any kind of leftist thing or the freedom of thinking is quite very prohibited. I mean when you say when you against government or when you criticize the government or you when you make demonstrations about the social justice, government also makes accuse us that as a communist that communist in Indonesia is prohibited and communist is an atheist. But actually a lot of activists who fight for social justice they don't know they don't took a part or don't they don't have a deligy of communists they just fight for the social justice. And maybe you could talk a little about the struggle in West Papua and what are you doing in the solidarity campaign? So we built the free West Papua or Indonesia people from West Papua in 2016. We realized that the West Papuan people is not part of Indonesia it's they have their own nations that in 1969 there was a fraud and fake referendum under the militarism so under the Suharto regime for 32 years. So since 1969 until now there has been genocide towards West Papuan people almost 500,000 people were died during 50 years annexation in West Papua. So the position the Indonesian government is illegal in West Papua. We support not only the freedom of expression in West Papua but we recognize them that West Papuan people as a separate nations. We are recognized as Indonesians nations recognized by the Netherlands in 1949 but that does not include West Papua. We annexation we West Papua territory in 1961, 1962 and then we make a fraud or fake referendum. That's why we think that for West Papuan people there is no freedom, there is no peace, there is no democracy without liberation, without freedom from Indonesia. And is this a common perspective amongst Indonesians or is this not? It's not a common perspective. A common perspective in Indonesian people it's chauvinist nationalism. Some of the some of the social movement and left took apart to give solidarity to the West Papuan to fight for their independence or to respect their struggle for the right for self-determination. Can you talk a little about the neoliberal economic policies in Indonesia right now and the impact on the people? The economic neoliberal in Indonesia has been done for 20 years, 22 years since Suharto signed agreement to have a debt from the International Monetary Fund so I think all the governments corporation were privatized and several good subsidies were cut by the government such as oil such as electricity and health and etc. So the constellation in Indonesia is now all the parliamentary party, even though they are different name or different ideologies nationalists or religious, Islamic, they are pro neoliberal. None of them against neoliberal. In April there will be a presidential elections. This is the competitions between the right wing versus far right wing.  The other ones, Prabowo, he was former son-in-law of General Suharto, the second president. Actually even though he said about sovereignty, even though he said about economic problem, actually he is part of the oligarch and he is part of the ruling family during Suharto regime and he also agree with neoliberalism. So with the upcoming elections what is the perspective from progressive organizations from the working class on these elections? We are divided. Some of the labor movements, labor union, the biggest labor union, the leader support Jokowi. The second biggest confederations, labor support Prabowo, which is the metal federation. But some of the left, individual or individual, they support Jokowi. Former activists in 1998 during the overthrow of Suharto or we can say reformacy also support Jokowi, but some of them also support Prabowo. So but in five years ago, in the election 2014, we also divided, but most of the activists, former activists in 1988 support Jokowi, but then now some of them realize Jokowi is going to write and accommodate the idea of a new order, the Suharto policy in 19, during 32 years. So but what is our position now? Most of the left groups say that we cannot took a part in the elections. We cannot vote for laser of the after evil because these things is getting worse and worse. Jokowi is getting to right wing and Prabowo is making, was made an issue about racism to the Chinese decent and to non-Muslims, non-Islam and issue that's that base on the we call Sara, ethnicity, religions and race. That's a problem of Indonesia. Thank you for talking to people's dispatch. Thank you very much.


This is the Sugar Beet Report, bringing you the latest information from NDSU throughout the Sugar Beet growing season. The Sugar Beet Root Maggot is making an impact again this year, with some areas in the valley under intense pressure. Mark Bautel, NDSU Extension Entomologist, has the latest update concerning the Sugar Beet Maggot. Mark, it's officially summer. What's going on with the Sugar Beet Root Maggot? The late spring warm-up after the cold finally went away really got the flies going, so we got off to a very quick fly-emergence cycle. This year our peaks, and this would be valley-wide, peaked about one week earlier than historical averages as a result of those warm temps. There are still a few flies flying around, and a little bit of egg laying happening yet, but really the insect as a whole, I would say, is the larvae very actively feeding on Sugar Beet Roots at this time. That activity is going to probably peak in the next week or so, a week to 10 days, but it's going to continue at fairly high levels or high rates for another week or so beyond that and then persist well into August. Are there symptoms growers can watch for in the fields? Yes. Chiefly, it would be wilting and dying plants, unfortunately. That's going to become very evident in under-protected fields that maybe didn't get hit with an insecticide or either lacking or had a lesser performing product on for protection. Those fields are going to continue to wither and probably many have some dead plants as well as the hot weather resumes, and that's looking like it's going to be the case in the forecast. We're having some spotting rainfalls that are occurring, so those events may actually save some fields, and that would be sort of through two actions. One is, of course, rain is better for plant health, and then it also activates insecticides. The fly pressure has been pretty intense in some parts of the valley this year. Where have the maggots been most challenging? The traditional areas of the central and northern valley from about Thompson to all the way to near the Canadian border have been very high again this year. Last year was a record, a 16-year record high for fly activity, but they're pretty bad this year as well. Some of our worst areas, actually the Saban Baker, Minnesota area is the highest in the valley. It has no close second. There's been extreme pressure in that area. Other traditional areas of St. Thomas, Cavalier, Bathgate, Grafton, as well as down to Grand Forks, East Grand Forks, Thompson, and Reynolds have been problematic to this year. And then we also have fairly high fly activity that has been recorded in the Crookston, Warren area, and all the way up actually on the east side of the river in the Stephen, Argyle, and Donaldson areas as well. Can this year's problems guide us with making management decisions for next year? Yes. Where basically in the areas where the maggots succeeded this year, those areas are going to set the stage for the battle for next year. Unfortunately, as I've said before, we have a pretty major sugar beetroot maggot problem, and it's nearly as bad as it's ever been. This year's hotspots are good indicators for what to do next year, where the problems are going to be next year. As I've mentioned before too, we've had the NDSU and American Crystal collaboration on root maggot fly counts. We're sampling again well over 100 fields this year, three days per week, and that'll give us a good idea of where those hotspots were this year and then lead into the forecast for the coming year. Mark, do you have anything else you'd like to add? One very important thing I would just put in would be a plug for our winter grower seminars. It's very important, if you're in an affected area either with this pest or another management problem, I encourage you to attend the winter sugar beet grower seminars. Thanks Mark.
