Anyway, that's what we're watching here, and that's why you have to take profits, you know, when they're given to you, because you don't know, this thing can backed off $1.60 a barrel and it's already gained back another $0.80 on that, so it's jumping around quite a bit over there in the crude oil. So you've got to be able to take advantage of that. So here's what I want to talk to you about. Our guest today, by the way, oh, two things, very, very important. Last night's action, I have to show you today because it was very, very important what happened in the S&P here today. We get this up here to take a quick look at it and we should be okay. There we are. This is the S&P cash, folks. You'll notice here, we went up and we made a 382 retracement of the high that we made back here. That was the high and then we come down and made a new low. So we're at major support down here that we hit today. We're bouncing back a little bit. So we'll see if that's going to mean very much at all. We don't really know for sure, but we're certainly going to be watching it no matter what happens. Seeing this thing, unfortunately, I'm sorry for my voice, folks, but I have a frog in my throat along with two minnows and a grasshopper, so nothing else. It's not allergies. It's just that my throat is raspy. I can't do anything about it. I wanted to share a chart here from our good friend, Rich Anderson. This is showing you the amount of a bulls versus bears percentage over the last 18 months. What's interesting, you'll notice, if you'll mark the highs and lows on these things, you'll see that when we're at these highs levels, sometimes you get a sell-off. But the fact that we've had Apple down, what, seven days in a row for the first time in a decade, at least they reported that statistic. I don't know. I'm just reporting it on, but that's going to be interesting to see if that's going to be the main thing that's going to be making these markets move that the way they do. I hope that helps as we go through some of these things here today and look at them. The next one that I'd like to show you, folks, is the German Dax, because we'll get this up here today. It had some really nice patterns in here, all ABCD related, and that's going to be interesting to see what is going on with some of these things here today. As you can see, there's where we are here with this, so we're going to find out whether it means very much or not, and we'll do one thing at a time as we go through looking at these things. But you can see the large ABCD here on the Dax has already completed, right up there, and then we started to sell off again. It's going to be the charts not still coming through. Uh-oh, that's not a good sign, Larry, and hold on just a second. I've got another chart to bring up that I think is relatively important, and that's the one I want to spend a little bit of time here. Oh, God, God, folks, there's stock in the news called WeWork. I don't know anything about it. It's the first time I've ever heard of it, but they were talking about it today. It was an IPO a few years ago at 19 cents. It's now selling for 13 cents. The reason why I want to spend some time at this, folks, because this happens to a lot of people. They get hooked into buying something and holding on it forever. Folks, there's got to be a point in here somewhere in this chart. At least when you think when it goes below this level, you've got to think that there's something wrong in the company. You could have recouped half your money at this level right here. Now it's all tapioca, 13 cents. Your downside is 13 cents, and the guy came on that ran the company and says we have no chance. I mean, what kind of deal is that? I mean, he shouldn't take a positive thinking course, but he has, it's none of my business. All I'm trying to tell you here is you've got to be able to protect your backside when you're trading these things.  That's how I lost my money in 74. I knew that the Russians were going to come back in buying grain. Well, they did, but it was four and a half years later. So that's what you've got to think about. How much money can you lose on this darn thing? And that's pretty much it. I spent one whole day trading with David Paul. He passed away on July 19th. And I just could not believe how calm he was, and he only traded stocks. He was very methodical. And he said, I look for very low risk opportunities to have a chance to make big money. So that's what his whole thing was about. He said, you want to go for the big one? And that's what he trained Tom Hougard to do. And Tom is a master at it. He can press like I've never seen before. His motto is, when you think you've made enough money, get in there and sell some more. That's basically what you're looking at when you're watching these things. So I hope that makes sense as you watch these things unfold today. But that's what we're paying attention to today. So I hope that gives you some help. We're going to have Shane on early today because he's got some really important stuff. And I think it's going to be really good. We will have on tomorrow is Wednesday. I believe today is Wednesday. No, today is Wednesday. Tomorrow we are going to have Paula Webb. And on Friday we will have our good friend, Jeff Huge of Alpha Insights will be our guest there. So just keep in mind this chart here, folks, because you see it a lot. You've seen it in Caravana. You've seen it in the Beyond Meat and all the member, all of the Telray, all of the marijuana stocks. I mean, you just got to put a stop in there somewhere. You know, that's one of the reasons why I do the thing for TFNN. You know, I'm not going to get caught into that because I've already done that before. I owe the O'Brien's a lot for letting me be on the air like that.  And that's it. Bernard Baruch in his book, My Own Story, he was actually JP Morgan's closest personal friend. And he said, I'll talk about that another time. We're going to have our good friend, Shane Spullion, coming on next, folks. We'll be right back.

I'm great, is this Duke in Duke? 100 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, zip code 19147, it is I. Tell us, my friend, what direction are we going here and in the stock market? Oh, answer that question, and then please start off. Sure, well, I think there's a good chance we're gonna be headed lower here, Larry, for probably for a few months. I think we're just getting started here with this topping process and the S&P, and there's a lot of information to go over today to talk about this, but from multiple perspectives, if you look at the Fed, what the Fed is doing, the Fed use, if you look at the Astro, if you look at the Cycles, there's a lot of data now that's supporting a decline going out for a few months here, so we can get into this, but I think it's just starting. Okay, let's get started. Let's get it started. Okay, so inflation debt, I do wanna kind of continue on what we were talking about last time that I think it's really important that people try to follow AI models as much as possible because I think we're trying to figure out what's, a lot of people are trying to figure out what's the use of all these AI models and how can we use them? Well, one of them is economic information that we can now get real-time reporting. Now, none of these models are perfect and people argue with which model is best and I just picked this trueflation model to talk to people about this, that this model is pretty much staying about two months ahead of the government data, so the government data came down to 3%. This is running at about 2.3%. I figured we would get to 2% in August. I still think there's a good chance we'll get there, and then that means that the US would come down to whatever level we're seeing now in about two months, so just keep an eye on this stuff. I mean, this is the future and so I always try to keep an eye on what's going on with the future and if you take a look at this and you project this out across time, you can see that we are right into this 2% zone. So I think the Fed knows we're pretty much there now. I know they said that's gonna be out like 2025 or something that they said, but I think we're gonna be there in a couple months to be honest with you. I mean, with the slowdowns that we're seeing in many sectors of the economy, I think it's a confusing time. There's a lot of mixed data and we're seeing, obviously we've seen a very strong stock market, but I think once we hit that 2%, I think that's gonna be an objective. So I think we're close to seeing it and I think that that rally we had, that relief rally had a real sense of euphoria in there when that last inflation number came down to that 3%. So just something to consider. It's a work in progress. We're trying to find different models to kind of look at different angles of the situation, but I think we're gonna be down here for a while. I don't see this going back up. I mean, there are areas that are obviously sticky in the inflation picture, but I think the focus is just try to understand the market through the lens of artificial intelligence. So that's one of the things that I'm trying to do. So S&P 500 here. So this is the first time now that we're starting to see some cracks in this S&P. This is the 50 versus the 200. I always like to look at just a real basic picture to look at the 50 versus the 200 and things that are very almost common sense, but I think it's important to see this. And now we talked about last January and February when this crossed up, this was a bullish sign, but we're now coming down to test the 50 day simple moving average. This is the first sign of breakdown that we're seeing. And so we're seeing some choppy markets now. And one of the things that choppy markets allow is for the moving averages to catch up. So I'm gonna go into a four hour chart and a few slides just to show you that we're actually catching up now on the four hour and it's actually about to make a crossover, a negative crossover for the first time since March. So this is not good. This is not good for the bullish case here. And I think, and again, this is just moving averages, but I think that we are now starting to see our first signs here. We had this parabolic move. This is the NASDAQ, this black chart here, but we had this parabolic move coming up and we had these, every time we made a higher low or something close to it, I put a number here. So you can see that we had 12 different instances here in the NASDAQ. This one actually came back a little bit lower, but we had essentially this parabolic rise. Now, this is the first time that we're actually coming. And I think this parabolic rise is now broken. And I think we have started, I think people are still in denial about this, obviously. There's this whole distribution phase going on, but this to me, this is some evidence that we're slowing down, but that's not gonna help us with the forecast because moving averages are lagging. They look backwards in time. So I like to look at some things. One of them is divergences. So when we look at the S&P, there's different types of divergences we can look at. But a real basic one that I do like to look at here is money flow. Anybody can load this. Now, the reason I like money flow is because it's like an RSI, but it incorporates volume. So we can take into account the concept of volume in here. And you can see that we've had this very pronounced negative divergence in the S&P, going all the way back here to May. See if you see this letter H here, this is where this starts. And you can see the S&P continues higher here. And we have this consistent negative divergence here and the money flow coming down. Now, typically the way that these divergences work is they will retrace back to where the divergence started. So that puts us back below this 4,300 level into here as a first starting point here. So to me, this is a chart. I always like to look, like I said, at moving averages, I like to look at the money flow because the S&P is very respondent to these things. I mean, surprisingly, as complicated as it is, there are some indicators that are pretty good. So these are two of them that I like to look at, but we are just getting started. We're not even to the important stuff yet. I'm just pointing out some things that everybody can follow. Just kind of, you can just follow along. Anybody can put money flow up. The problem with divergences, Larry, is that they can go on for a long time.  And in the case of gold, there's one going on for going back to 2008 that I've been tracking a negative one. So they can go, they can persist and persist and persist, but I like to think of them as like potential energy building up ready to be released. At some point they do retrace most of the time here. So I think that's, these are some things, some signs here, some troubling signs for the S&P for sure. We saw a real big divergence back in 2021, December, right before the S&P made that big turn then right before quantitative tightening. So this is just something to look at. It's nothing too earth shattering, but I think it's important for people to look at. Now, I have a chart here showing the entry day biorethm here. This is a forecast model that we put out at the beginning of the day. So the biorethm is the red line here. So you can see, this is, by the way, this is all intraday. This is just what's going on today. But you can see the S&P and the white line here traces out this biorethm very nicely. It does show us continuing to go down even past six o'clock here. So it shows us a market continuing to be weak. Statistically, today is a very weak day for the S&P. It's statistically the weakest day for a big move down. I'll get into that in another chart, but this is just kind of an intraday way to look at. I know, Larry, you have the AI model that you use, right? Yeah, intraday. So this is kind of similar. It runs all the time. It's not a cycle. Cycles are basically when the market's closed, the cycle's done. This thing goes, even on holidays, it'll keep running because it's a true biorethm of the S&P. It's a true rhythm of what it does. I do have another intraday chart here. This is the one that I think is really interesting. This is a four hour chart. So anybody at home can track this. This is a 30 day simple moving average versus a 200 day simple moving average. When I say days, I'm talking about bars. This is a four hour chart. But you can see going all the way back here to March 31st, that's when it crossed up. This was when it crossed up here on March 31st, going all the way back to when this rally began. Now the FedJuice went into a buy right around 4.20, somewhere into there and it went into a sell just recently in July 20th, somewhere into here. So the FedJuice goes into a sell up into here. We'll get back to this in the next chart. Yeah, we'll have to pay a few bills. We'll be right back with the WolfTrader.com folks. Stay tuned, tfnn.com. The Gold Report.

We're speaking with Shane Smollion, the wolf trader.com. Please continue, young man. Absolutely. All right, so we talked about this moving average. Now one of the things that choppy markets do when we get into these distribution phases, it allows the moving averages to catch up. So this 30 versus 200 has not crossed since March 31st. So interesting chart for sure. She's definitely showing some breakdown here in the S&P. I'm gonna talk about gaps too. Now I know a lot of your guests talk about unfulfilled market areas that are these gaps where the market gaps up. But there are quite a few gaps here in this S&P. This is the S&P cash here. So there are some gaps down here at the 39, 39, 79, 20, 42, 32, 43, and then 44, 43, 64. So these are gaps on the downside that will most likely fill at some point. So it left a lot of those on the way up. Now we do have different models that we look at too. I have a Paris trade here that we just first started doing this when we wanted to figure out which market to be long. And so recently we were long on the NASDAQ. Now the NASDAQ is in a sell versus the S&P. So it's declining more aggressively than the S&P. And that's typically a sign of a change of trend. Like the NASDAQ tends to lead the S&P when you have these moves. So that's just one clue here. Here's another Paris trade that we have. This is posted daily. So I update this every day. But this had been in a buy all the way since 322 here. And so it's long S&P short the Vixie. This just now goes into a buy on 8.3. This is one of the reasons why I don't like to look at just the Vixie as an ultimate level because it can stay down there for months and months and months. And then you have to deal with this rising market. In this case, this has shown us a change of trend here. So pretty much no matter what model you look at now we're starting to see more and more signs. Now I'm kind of easing into the important stuff here. I mean, this is getting more important now but this is really the most important chart here. The Fed internals have been collapsing. And I've been talking about this for some time. This goes back all the way to June the 1st. This is the most important chart, this in the Fed juice that you can look at on the markets because ultimately the markets go back to wherever the Fed sets it to. So the Fed juice has been declining for this period. Now this is a really important divergence. Now we looked at that money flow divergence but this is the one that you can't see just on any chart. So this is going back to a level of about 42.78. This is where this starts on June the 1st. You can see that this has been steadily declining here. So these Fed internals are eroding. And when this happens, it can't just turn up for a day or two. There's a lot of damage that goes on into here and I talked to people about this. This cannot just be made up in a day or two by the Fed spiking internals. This takes a long time now. There's a big bubble in here that has to get worked out in these markets. So when that's occurring it's a big warning sign that something's wrong. If you go all the way back to 2010 there's no instances where the market has survived this. It will always come back and it will always retrace this level into here. If we go back here to this chart here I have a chart here where we have our three important indicators here. We have the Fed use here. The Fed use goes into a sell on July the 20th here. You can see this and it had been in a buy since April the 20th. So that's a long stretch that this was in a buy. Now this isn't in a sell. The planetary speed index is in a sell and the quad lunar cycles in a sell. So you have three of these major indicators. I call it a trifecta in a sell now. This is really getting to the important stuff now because when these three are headed lower now it's very hard for the market to go up. I mean, this is the fuel of the market. The Fed is the fuel of the market since 2010. And I talked about this in a webinar about artificial intelligence that you cannot look at the market anymore just through human perspectives anymore. You have to understand, you have machine trading, you have algos, you have the Fed. You have all of these moving parts now that didn't exist before 2010. So this is why we look at the Fed so importantly, the Fed use. It's not just on the S&P. We look at it on other markets too. But today is statistically a negative day for the S&P. So it's statistically, it's a negative day. This is the statistics here. It's typically it can be the biggest day down and it does not typically like to reverse from the previous day. Now I know we're seeing a lot of choppy action into here in the S&P, but I like to look at these broad based indicators because I don't have to worry so much about the day to day stuff. It gives me a real nice broad based picture. Now we talked about the planetary speed index before. This is the 1929 market crash and I also have the 1987 market crash. Why am I bringing this up right now? Well, first of all, the markets do follow the speed of the planets here. This is an astro indicator here. And if you go back to every market crash without exception, it's always there. And there's signatures that show up. There's a Mercury station here going back into September of 1929 and then going into October. We know October is one of the worst, one of the worst months for the S&P and the Dow. Although I will say now August and September since 2010 are two of the worst months for the S&P and the Dow. So we're moving into a really bad period here in terms of seasonals, but there's always a Mercury station here and the Venus Uranus heart aspect shows up. If you go over to 1987, same thing. You see the declining planetary speed index and then you see Mercury station with Venus Uranus and so here was our 1987 crash. Now, why does the Mercury station have anything to do with it? Well, when we're talking about the planetary speed index we're talking about how faster the planet's moving. Mercury is a big component of that. And so when Mercury is stationary this index tends to drop really low. So it's not just Mercury, but these tend to play out. Now, why does all of this matter? Why am I bringing up 1929 and 1987, right? Everything's fine, right? The market's rallying, everyone's happy. Well, here's the problem. We have a declining planetary speed index right now. This is the current planetary speed index. So from 731 down to 817 and we have a Mercury station coming this month. So I'm not saying the market's gonna crash per se, but the signatures are there and we have issues now with the Fed, with juice pulling back, everything's in the cell, everything's pulling back. And now we have declining astral also. So nothing's for sure, but definitely I don't wanna be long on this market right now. I think this is setting up the potential here for a very, potentially could have a strong decline here coming up in the next few months. And like I said, August, September, October, these were all bad months coming up here. So we have to consider that this could be a problem here. Now we talk about geomagnetic activity a lot. This is a new phenomenon that I've gotten into. The paper that I actually got was from the Federal Reserve of Atlanta. They did some research on this and I'm gonna show you some graphs here. These are this, this is the solar storm activity throughout the year. And this tends to have an exact inverse correlation with the cyclical activity of the stock market. So if you did a annual cycle, it's a mirror of this. So what does that mean? That means that when these storms increase in intensity, the markets tend to fall. When it tends to fall in intensity, the markets tend to rise. These are disruptors. These solar storms come across and they disrupt the markets. And we're down to the point now where we're forecasting this I try to get it within the couple of hours, even overnight. But we're moving into a season here where you're gonna have higher solar storms. And when you have higher solar storms, you have a higher chance of disruption. Now, why is that important? Well, let's put it pieces together here. You've got a weak fed, you've got a declining fed use, you've got your roting fed internals, you've got falling planetary speed index, you've got an overextended market, okay? And then you have any time these disruptions come, you're gonna have about two days of notice. Maybe it's sometimes it's faster than that. Like this is not, these forecasts are very unreliable compared to like a hurricane or something, right? But at least we can get an idea of when the storm is coming and they tend to disrupt the markets for a few days. And it can be as long as a week if you get a big storm. This was last summer. And so we had this rising market all the way out into early August last summer. We had that full moon perigee. And then you can see here, here's the G3 storm comes in and it knocks it down again. And the G2 storm knocks it down again. So these, these storms tend to affect the small caps, the largest. So the Russell has affected the largest and the authors of the paper that wrote this speculated that that's because those are smaller investors, not institutions, and they can be more negatively influenced by this. Wow. Now we know why the Fed follows geomagnetic storms, don't we? Absolutely, absolutely. Wow. Hey, I'm gonna take a break here folks, we'll be back. You're going to need a crystal ball. After all, it's impossible to predict the future, right? Like any endeavor in life, before you decide it's impossible, get some advice from the experts.

Shane, on a personal note, this is some of the most interesting stuff you've ever presented here. I know you've shown it before, but the way you're formatting it is great. Please continue. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I'm trying to put it together in a coherent fashion today. So, one day at a time. All right, this is, okay, so where are we now? So this is the actual rally that we're in right now. And so I've actually put a series of these geomagnetic storms on top of the rally. So when we had this first rally into here, the Fed was very strong into here. And I knew when we had this G4 and this G3 storm, it was knocking the market down, but it wasn't causing a decline. And I knew that meant there was underlying strength into there. Because normally the G3 and the G4 storms knock it down.  You can see it's been eroding away, eroding away. We had a G1, we had a G2. So the last couple of days, we've had some small storms. And that's, to me, that's not a good sign because if we do get a big storm this month, which we probably will, we'll probably get a G3 this month. I think it's really gonna give the market a hard time. So it's a different setup this year than last year. But I think once we get into August and September, we really gotta watch out for those storms because the underlying, everything underlying this market is very, very weak right now, very soft. And so there's some big air pockets in there, from the standpoint of the Fed that need to, the market needs to come down. I mean, I just, I have not seen a one instance of this since 2010 where has they been able to do it without the Fed, it just can't. Like that's just the world we live in. It's like I said, it's AI, artificial intelligence, quantitative easing, all this stuff, it's a different world now. So this is why we track the Fed. And so when that's negative, we really gotta look for these storms to come into the picture here. So I started a new forecasting model called the Wolf Trader Wave. And the reason I started this was because I wanted to take everything that I liked about Elliott Wave and build a new wave counting system. This one uses machine learning. And so this had forecasted this rally going all the way up and it had a cell signal on July the 7th. So I just re-optimized this and I'm gonna be talking about the results tonight in the market update video. But essentially after the re-optimization, it's revealed that this market is gonna be headed lower now for a few months. And I'm gonna talk about the exact dates of this, but this down wave is going to continue now. And so the reason I like this better than like an Elliott Wave is because it, you can re-optimize its machine learning for each market. And so it's, I find that for me, for what I wanna accomplish, I think it's a lot better. It's more objective. And so to me, I think this is a more objective way to look at it, but this is saying that we're probably gonna be headed down now for a few months. Now, we also have some Saturn cycles that we look at. Saturn cycles are looking at Saturn in relationship to multiple planets. I find that from an astro standpoint, Saturn is one of the best long-term cycle forecasting tools that you can use. I like Kronos a lot too, the Transneptunian, but Saturn and other planets are very accurate. So this is showing us in decline right now. So again, here's another model, like nothing is saying that we're supposed to be headed higher here. So when you combine that with the Fed and you throw in some geomagnetic storms there, you've got a recipe for some trouble here brewing with these markets.  I mean, everybody is, right? Yep. So the Bradley, if you take a look at the Bradley, this is falling all the way through 2024. So why do I show this? Well, I haven't been a big fan of the Bradley when the Fed is strong because the Fed can overtake these astro indicators. So when you have a strong Fed, the astro indicators can take a backseat to this. But since we do have a weak Fed right now, I do think we have to put this back on the table that this is a distinct possibility that we're gonna be headed down now for a few months, possibly through the end of the year. And if the Fed does not ramp the internals back up and the Fed use remains in the cell, we're gonna follow the astro. I mean, this is the default pattern that the markets follow. And Larry, you know before the 2008, this used to be almost spot-on every time, right? Yeah, it was awesome for quite a while. Then when they came in and started playing games, it changed quite a bit. But that's still useful to something. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah, so I just look at this as, these are kind of the natural forces of the market. And again, there's no cycle that I can look at to say, well, that one's rising and that's going, all of them are headed down. So I think that we are in a situation now where this market is starting to break down a little bit here. I'm gonna look at some, I have some stocks here to look at. I have Apple, this is one of the ones I wanna take a look at here. The reason why I wanna look at Apple, and I can go on and on here, if anybody wants to look at different symbols, just let me know. But I'm gonna keep going here with Apple. Apple's really the driver of the NASDAQ, right? So this is really an important stock, one of the most important stocks to look at. The Fed use on Apple went into a sell back here into June 29th, it's been in a sell ever since. And so this is still headed lower for Apple. Now Apple had this big run where it looked invincible and it looked like nothing could ever stop it. And it was never gonna stop going up in all of this stuff. We had a Wolf Trader Wave on Apple and I just re-optimized it. And so Apple Wolf Trader Wave now shows us in a sell. And I'm gonna be doing more of these Wolf Trader Waves for people who are subscribers and everybody who follows. It takes a lot of processing power to do this. But this goes into a sell now on Apple, the Wolf Trader Wave, and it's suggesting that we're about 14 weeks down on Apple now too. So these are starting to all align in the same direction. When you look at Apple, when you look at the S&P, they're all starting to show the same profiles that we're gonna have a down market here. And so when Apple starts to decline, I think you really need to pay attention because this is a bellwether. I mean, I think certain other, I mean, I personally like Broadcom better as a stock than Apple, but when you're talking about leading the market in terms of leaders, it's Apple. Okay, so you gotta pay attention to what Apple is doing here, and again, this Wolf Trader Wave suggests that we are gonna be headed lower for a few weeks here, for a few months. Now, it doesn't mean that it's some end of the world and market's gonna crash and all that stuff. But what I'm saying is, no matter how you look at this, it's headed lower here. Tesla's another one here where the Fed use went into a sell on June 29th. You can see this here, it's still in a sell, headed lower. So when you start to look at all these stocks, so we look at Broadcom, Broadcom, the Fed use has been in a sell since 713. That's still headed lower. So going down the line here, Bank of America, the Fed use goes into a sell on August the 1st, it's still headed lower. So it's all starting to become very consistent here that there's a problem emerging here, there's a problem. Volatility had been in a sell since July the 6th, goes into a buy on August the 4th on the Fed use. Okay, so again, this goes along with the Paris trade that we talked about with the S&P, but down the line here, RK Innovation goes into a sell, Fed use goes into a sell on July the 21st, still in a sell. Down the line again here as a spider biotech, it goes into a sell on July the 25th, still in a sell. So when I, I always tell people the Fed use is the single best indicator that we have for broad-based market movements. And if you want to know the path of lease resistance, it's the Fed use. I don't care what market it is, I don't care if it's Tesla, Apple, S&P, Gold, Oil, Dollar, Euro, Bitcoin, it's the path of lease resistance. So when I start to see these all lining up to the downside, I think we've got some issues here. I'm gonna go over to the currencies here real quick and I'm gonna start talking about the US dollar here. We gotta pay a few bills, we gotta pay a few bills and then we'll do the currencies when you come back. Okay? Absolutely. Great stuff, young man, keep it up.

Folks with Shane's million, please continue with the currencies. There's always interest to me, so please continue. Sure. So, one of the key things to look at is the US dollar because it's kind of like the central nexus of so many commodities and it affects, it's inverse of many of these other dollar-based pairs, currency pairs, it's inverse a lot of times of gold, S&P. It gives headwinds for the S&P, let's just say that. So, this has been in a buy now since 719. So, you take a look back here, the interesting how this goes into a buy right around when the S&P goes into the sell. Now, this secondary signal here is the quad lunar cycle. This also goes into a buy, this goes into a buy today. So, what does that mean? That means that there's likely more headwinds coming for the S&P and other markets like gold. So, to me, this is painting a picture. I always like to look at the dollar because it creates headwinds for, like I said, for gold and also the S&P. Now, the S&P can go up with a rising dollar, but I always just like to say it's headwinds. You can still walk into a headwind. It's just a little bit harder to do it. The other markets, like we see here, the Canadian dollar has been in the sell signal since 7.25. The British pound, same thing, headed down since 7.19. And the Euro is headed down since 7.21. And so we can keep going down the list here, but like I said, the path of least resistance is the Fed use. And so, when we start to see the same scenario showing up over and over again, that's something to pay attention to for sure. I do wanna talk real quick here about oil. We've been bullish on oil for quite a while here. You can see that the Fed use has been in a buy all the way back here since 6.12. There was a little jog here where it went sell and then buy back here in 7.24, but it's still in a buy going up here. And then the quad lunar cycle is also in a buy. So again, oil continues to look strong here. And one of the things I do wanna point out, we talk a lot about Astro, but there was a Venus retrograde lately in the last few, like last month. And so the Venus retrograde chart for oil continues to show strength going forward here. Hey, thanks for joining us, my friend. We'll have you on again soon and be safe. Thanks, Larry. Take care. Thank you, Shane. We'll be back tomorrow, folks. Our guest will be Jeff Hughes of Alpha Insights.


and we're going. My name is Brian Miller. I work for the University of Ottawa and we use solar. Who else here is interested? Well, I assume you're interested in solar. Does anyone else actually use solar yet in live production? And are you university? Are you? We're an agency.  Different clients use them. So our client project is what we actually implement there. Okay. So this is a discussion about how the University of Ottawa decided to go with its solar journey and what that meant to us and what opportunities that will avail to you as adopting solar or whatever other search strategy you want. This is sort of a lessons learned and there is a little bit of code sharing that we've been able to wrangle up for this version of the presentation. So hopefully that will help you out in terms of incorporating it within your Drupal usage scenarios as well as figuring out how solar works for you. With me today is my colleague, Karim from the University. He's the one that's done all of these wonderful graphics on the visuals. So as I was saying, presentation is about our journey through the customized search solution and our choice of solar. Origins. So a number of years ago in 2016 Google Search used to be a very, very prominent factor in a lot of university and public sector areas. We used to buy these things called the big yellow boxes. Basically Google sent us a server and it in itself contained all of the software, all of the server configuration to allow it to crawl all of your site independently and produce the same results as what Google would actually show in their internal search results. So a few years ago they decided we're going to get rid of that. We're going to go to a cloud only solution that we're going to provide to all of our clients and you will pay for that cloud solution. At that point in time we were running a number of very useful aspects of that Google search appliance. So one of the things that it doesn't allow you to do is focused keyword matching as well as focused collections. So for instance in a university environment we would be saying we want to be able to search only for the information and present only the information on our Department of French, and if that was the case then we would have to actually create special collections within this Google search appliance that will allow us to do this. With the Google search tool online typically you can do this but it requires you to set specific parameters and stuff and it's not the same configuration ease. So this is one of the things that really drove us towards looking at what options were available outside of the Google search engine infrastructure that would allow us to essentially create a tool that was useful for us as a university to promote our business needs. So lessons learned. Basically we start our journey with Solar with the two projects that we had previously. We have an internal search tool that is used for our event calendar and that uses solar but then we also developed an internal employee directory. So with all of the universities typically all of the information is public knowledge so we have to actually have a public sharing of all of the employees on the university in a searchable format. The old tool for this was managed through basically a DOS 32 bit interface at the point in time that we were looking at and we basically had to take that information and migrate it into a searchable format that would allow us to present it online. And this was what we call our ECIS employee directory. So employee search directory. We developed this with a very rudimentary understanding of solar at that point in time. This is sort of our first project that we looked at with solar and it allowed us to take all that information put it into a solar index and then extract that out when you make a request. So we basically looked at this and said how do we take this to the next level? How do we look at solar and look at it as solutions for tomorrow for next year for the future? So internally what we did is we said let's take our guys send some of our guys for training specifically with the solar experts in San Francisco and find out what they have to tell us about what is available with solar. So we did that and actually two of our guys went to Lucine and were able to get some great hands on training. Lucine also provides direct vendor solutions in solar if you're looking for managing a vendor to do this for you you'll actually provide that service for you. We chose to go internally ourselves but again depending on what your requirements are you may want to go with a vendor supported solution that relieves you of that burden. So when we were looking at this we were looking at the way that we actually use our website. I've mentioned before to a few other people that we have 300 websites running on a Drupal CMS multi-site platform. So from a perspective of searching individual sites it wasn't really that feasible to have each of the Drupal API searches running and try and correlate that so what we did was we basically said okay we need something that will broadly crawl all of those sites and be able to return us with the results that we need that we can manipulate and that we can provide to our individual clients. We also needed to be able to crawl external partner sites so as with any organization sometimes you have your 300 sites that are core to your business but then you also have a few outliers that like to run their individual special problems and special solutions to their marketing needs and we also wanted to include those within our overall search requirements and it needed to be scalable and future proof. So we wanted to look at something that was very very relevant in the market at that point in time and that had a good roadmap in terms of future proofing it for extending in the future extending with future versions of Drupal extending with future versions of whatever solution came up so we were looking at solar. So why do we pick solar? Solar has a very high amount of market share in the open source community for the search options. Its main competitor is Elasticsearch which also actually recently AWS Amazon Web Services now also provides a solar option for their search options its the Amazon Cloud Searches and the reason why they did this was because when they were working with the Amazon Web Services Elasticsearch tools they were having some problems with the Elasticsearch team and their Elasticsearch team is going more towards a Oracle approach towards Elasticsearch so you get the core Elasticsearch as open source but if you want any of the extras, any of the bonuses they are now providing a private paid solution that does not always come free with the Elasticsearch whereas solar it is open source as with all of the Apache projects and it will remain so. So from our search of solar Elasticsearch looking at that Google search appliance that we had previously used and what it morphed into with the Google search engine, the cloud search engine we determined that our best solution from a market share perspective was to go with solar. Number two, regional usage. So this was kind of a toss up we had looked at a lot of the Canadian universities and again this is data from 2017 so two years old but approximately a lot of the universities that we've talked to actually had not migrated beyond the Google search online tool and many of them were looking at solutions I know that in speaking with a few people here yesterday Waterloo has now gone with a Elasticsearch model where they're purchased and the vendor supports them so where we said that we had no Elasticsearch instances now there is one that I'm aware of but again it was kind of not really a determining factor for us other than that a lot of the universities were on the tail end of adoption at that point in time so whatever choice we made was sort of lead the pack. Third one was the meeting of the business appliance so in terms of what our business requirements identified for the University of Ottawa a number of things that come into it is the usability the ability to manipulate the results and the ability to direct our audience to what we feel is the most relevant content for their requests. When you're working with your Google search appliance when you're working with the Google search cloud you're basically under the auspices of Google's algorithms to define what they think is the best results for a specific individual. In some cases that works wonderfully in some cases Google will return you with 40,000 100,000 results that are not clearly defined so what we as our communications and our marketing group wanted was to be able to say to ourselves if we have a student that's coming to the university and they're looking for specific content how can we drive them to that content most easily and through the most easy user interface that we can provide for them. Another major factor for us and I'm not sure how much of a factor it is for a lot of other people but we are fully multilingual so we're fully bilingual at university all of our results have to be in English and French at all times so the University of Ottawa has a French first mandate and essentially anything that we publish to the web has to be available in both official languages of the university and we needed a search tool that allowed us to actually manipulate the results in both official languages and present them in a way that would be interpreted well by our end users so this was also an option that was given to us with this focused customizable tool and then as I said targeting the tailoring results targeting or excluding specific content was also important to us so again these are a lot of the business needs and again elastic search, solar a number of those other tools would allow you to do this it's just a matter of how much effort you wanted to put into customization of that tool so we were ready to go we had our guys trained we had chosen our tool and we were able to look at releasing our solar system so what does that look like? for those of you that are familiar with solar you have basically two options you have the option to have solar as a single instance connected to your Drupal website or to whatever infrastructure you connected with or you can go with a solar cloud instance so a solar cloud instance has multiple indexes has multiple servers called zookeeper servers which basically cover off redundancy cover off your crawling information another aspect to this is the Apache Nuch project so Nuch in itself is a crawler and all it is is a crawler but basically what Nuch does is it creates that result set that you feed into solar that will allow you to use the solar indexes to basically target specific information so without Nuch solar is basically just a data repository so in our high available solar cloud configuration we have our one solar Nuch server or our Nuch server which is constantly crawling our website constantly crawling the content that we create and creating the data indexes on our two solar servers and then we have our three zookeeper servers which are essentially the load balancing data servers which manage where the data goes and manage which solar server we are actually returning the results from so what does this look like for us so we have our main uOttawa domain our web servers so this is our Apache web servers on a redundant to Apache server configuration and this contains 300 Drupal sites in a multi site environment and this is then queries our solar server which basically takes all the data from the Nuch crawl as well as so similar to I guess what you would call an agar-like type of tool we have a command line database configuration tool which identifies all of those 300 multi sites that we have in Drupal and that basically feeds Nuch and says we want you to crawl this information we can also tailor that specifically with extra XML which indicates which other sites that we want that are not included within our Drupal site and then Nuch will provide all of that information from the crawl into solar and then we have our public search that's available on our uOttawa.ca set so yes as I was sort of saying with Nuch it begins its crawl from the site list it feeds that information into the solar and then we have a custom Drupal module which queries solar for those results so from a Drupal perspective a lot of you may be wondering why we didn't go with the Drupal solar search module some of those what we found was that it was very very poorly built for multi site support and in terms of multiple searching of multiple indexes it wasn't where it should have been at the time that we were working on this project since then I do believe that the multi search is better you can actually reference other solar indexes from that module but at the point in time we were actually working on this two years ago it was not the case we're going to go into a quick demo of what our search does so this is the University of Ottawa search and essentially all of this is driven and controlled completely through a Drupal custom module that we built on our side of things that's basically enable us to access our solar results I will provide some code snippet information about how that Drupal module does those query results as well as providing filters and stuff so what you see here is basically a quick search for education and let's make it bigger so here we have our English and our French results so this was something that we needed specifically from our business requirements that I mentioned because we basically wanted to make sure that if an individual was searching for something and they did not find it in English results realized that oh I need to see that English results it was an easy switch between the two languages to determine whether or not the results are relevant to them now the other thing that you may notice here is this special bold area so this is essentially our keyword matching yes is this Drupal site? this is a Drupal site yes and what are you going to do from then just to present the result the theme basically this is a a Zen variety variant theme with views and templating that basically receives that information with some custom CSS coding it's actually very straightforward and simple and so part of this is basically there's an XML file from the solar side of things that we basically say if an individual puts in something like education as a search result can we basically say them the very very first option that we give you is the faculty of education so basically we can target specific words, specific phrases that a user will search for and give them basically promoted results for those terms so this is all customized you don't use such pages or any other models it's a custom theme so this is a custom theme and yes it returns multiple results and we paginate those results and basically it's a special view specifically for the results that are coming from the solar server so we have our multilingual stuff we have our specific coding we are also working on unfortunately I don't have the demo for it today but essentially what we've done is we've duplicated Google's advanced search so a lot of the real language querying that you have in the search results we can have search plus apply and it will actually return those results so where you have applied to a specific with education as it comes in I didn't turn off the lights yeah I did did you apply it translate to Picasso? yes so there are synonyms so the other thing that you can do with solar is you create a number of synonyms you create a number of anthonyms you create a number of equivalent aliases so for instance there are examples like HR and if they're searching for HR they typically are searching for human resources well how long does that last? it's XML controlled and it's on the fly so essentially what happens is if you want to change this or add something to it we update the XML we provide that XML to the solar server the solar server immediately will respond and provide those results so there's nothing on the Drupal side that's required in order to refresh or update those results okay it's part of the multiliner's features yeah what is this yellow background so this so this is also again HR is one of our keyword matches so if they see HR in those results it will automatically promote human resources over potentially individual things like senior HR managers or whatever information is available so this has been an ongoing process for us in terms of improvements in terms of additional elements that we wanted to focus on so another thing and we will go back to my presentation now because we're almost at the point of Drupal metatags and SEO I'm going to try and do you remember what this was there we go you get that a lot of you may want to read about how we actually get Drupal to provide all of the proper information for the data set for solar so we do this through metatag information specifically on the Drupal side of things basically your content is all created with basic information and we target specific elements within the content model to be shown in the header of the HTML pages that solar and Nuch will then be able to use so when Nuch is doing a crawl it will look at the title of your page it will look at the description that's given plus it will look at any metadata that is actually provided extra to that so one of the things that we've actually targeted specifically for that and one of the things that I want to share with you is we were looking at published data so one of the most relevant issues that you have with search information is how relevant it is to today and how relevant it is to tomorrow so basically you want I can give you a good example of this is currently one of our problems and what caused this was when we're looking for something like dates and deadlines and if I spelled it right so other things come up and you get 2011, 2012 2016, 2017 you don't want those and this is another thing that we're deploying very, very shortly we have basically gone in and figured out what Drupal hooks are necessary for Drupal basic content elements as well as panels pages and we basically looked at how to expose those as meta tags in HTML so basically your head publish date field is actually driven by the content update from your Drupal pages so if you create a page in Drupal with specifically today's date it will actually show up in the publish field on the HTML and we then ingest that with our crawler put it into solar so hopefully in the next month we will be able to actually start showing publish date results for specific content and be able to say in the instance of that dates and deadlines specifically it will actually be able to boost the one for this year over all of the other ones without actually having to do that targeted specific keyword match and so this code for how you do that with both regular content pages as well as for panel pages we are making available through this GitHub link for our UOttawa team that we put together to share with you it's fully commented in terms of what hooks and stuff were used to expose that information and if you have any problems if you have any concerns questions about this my team is more than happy to help and give advice on this specific code drop us a line in the comments or email us directed I'm not going to go through the entire code but essentially it allows you it's all of the hooks that are used for on publish sorry this is Drupal 7 yes so this is still Drupal 7 I'll discuss Drupal 8 and what the future is but that is also part of my presentation but the current situation is with the Drupal 7 and so this is Drupal 7 code but are you going to provide people to decide if they want to have things published in the last week or something that or you will so for our site basically we have in our multi site environment we have an authoring environment and we have our public so the understanding is in our institution that anything that's put on the public prod server it's published as well it would be very easy to double check but that publish node content stuff essentially also targets whether or not the content piece itself is actually in a published state so the date only gets actually pushed when the content you have provided is in a published state so it's publicly available on the website basically our key takeaways from this entire journey were that using what we knew keeping it simple not trying to reinvent so much as just reuse what common patterns were available so our search display and the tools that we sort of integrated into that are all basically just liberally copied from the way that Google handles common searches we didn't try and reinvent the wheel a lot of those elements are available from the solar community they basically say if you're looking to do this this is the way you go about configuring solar to address this it's all very engaging in terms of the community information that's available for everything from being able to create those synonyms and those keyword matches to being able to even now integrate machine learning into your search results so making suggestions and having those suggested terms based on that and all of this is because when we were looking at this tool we were looking at it from a data first approach so the keynote this morning was actually really interesting from the point is that it's not necessarily our websites that are going to drive our content is going to be the data and where do you host that data where do you provide that data for us a decision was made that we wanted to control it ourselves and that we wanted that data to be available in a format that we could extrapolate so that this solar for us is that data source so from the perspective of the future where we can go we've just implemented facets so in this code we have both the so another snippet that is provided is what we're calling our solar search php this is Drupal 7 php code which allows you to query solar for filters and for faceted search information so when you're talking about facets you're talking about when you go to Amazon.com and you're saying I want to look at TVs and I want to look at 47 inch TVs that are LCD or LCD that is a basically a filtered down faceted view of your information so again I don't my team we actually just finished the last spring last week and we have to wait until our web update in June to push the header updates for the Drupal sites so by the end of June I believe that when is our June web update the third week so after that all of those publish dates will then start appearing on the pages and then we'll be able to start filtering that and we'll actually expose so right now the module that we have for that advanced search is essentially deactivated in all of our Drupal custom modules the way that we handle the custom module is that we actually feature lock it with a config checkbox which basically says that we can push the code but unless we actually click that checkbox it doesn't actually show up on the public website so we're at a point right now where that's where we're at and unfortunately it's not publicly available and I was hoping that it would be for this presentation but unfortunately not next few weeks does that help answer that question so this code that we provided is both the solar config XML and basically what this does is it defines a number of the variants and the fields that are shared in order to generate those facets so from the university perspective a facet might be you want to target a specific faculty you want to target a specific department you want to target a specific program and then we can filter through all of those levels and that's what this will provide for us and this will show up on our search results in the right hand once it's enabled and then the code that basically does those filter and search requests and the hooks that you would use in a Drupal module to access those are in this, in these code snippets so one of the reasons why we're using code snippets and we didn't actually create a module is the University of Ottawa uses an API gateway to securely encrypt all of our API data requests and that does not actually so there's other things in our modules that attributes directly to that API gateway that can't be shared so these are the code snippets for what the module should have in it but it's not the complete module okay yes and so as I was saying the future of this is more sub-site searching basically being able to create a specific search block on a Drupal site and say for the faculty of education I only want to search the faculty education stuff and that will provide the default parameters back to the search engine to only target that specific site so now with the tools that we have with Faceting with the advanced search elements we are in a position where we do that plus the AI machine learning stuff that's coming in I'm not sure when it will be available but there have been a number of major advancements within the AWS marketplace as well as the Google marketplace to allow for as they were saying plug and play usage of machine learning there are tools now that will allow you to basically have a live transcription of a meeting while you're having it and have the notes actually live transcribed into a notepad directly from just speaking there are a number of other things so I had the good fortune of actually going to an AWS summit where they highlighted that they now have Alexa actually speak proper Quebec French so if you switch your settings for Alexa to French and query it it will actually properly respond in the French that you expect rather than proper French French so the transcript shows the search results or the actual video well as he was showing this morning the AI stuff that Google so at the keynote he was showing that they're actually now doing AI investigation deep diving of podcast text and other things like that so from the power dynamics and power BI stuff that Microsoft is showing with Azure and with the AWS stuff they're basically just plugins that you basically can buy a third party plugin from AWS from Microsoft and essentially expose that through a scripting language input in your data and it will output out the results so if your data input is an audio file it will export out a text file of what was said and that's all data and so the advantage of solar and the advantage of elastic search and the advantage of these data repository elements are that they are the data that we use to feed these machine learning algorithms right so what we can do with the results that we have now we find out who's using what and we say okay these are our most common terms feed those into the AI and eventually we'll be able to basically replace that keyword matching with these are your top suggestions rather than have to go through the whole element that Google goes through with their algorithm these machine learning tools will actually be able to respond from our bias of what we want them to respond for and the advantage of this in terms of the Drupal community is that as we move towards the API services in Drupal 8 it will become more and more easy for us to integrate that data into Drupal 8 and to integrate these elements of machine learning of all of these other advancements so thank you very much for listening to me thank you we're going to go towards using the API so the data first approach will be for that so we're currently in a web transformation project towards Drupal 8 and the API service base from start to finish and have you had a chance to look at that search fabricated solar search API fabricated solar we have not looked at that I saw it but I have not had a chance to dive into it yet so one of the upsides of search API is that you can index the deltas of the changes that happen on fly how does that handle now that you use nuch can you do individual URLs or are you doing the whole site nuch can be threaded so our nuch server can actually run multiple threaded processes we basically can say add these web pages to the nuch crawler and spin off a separate thread that just does those well the daily one is turning through and looking at it and basically the nuch server the configuration you can control how frequently you want to search that information how stale you want the information to get and how much of that information you want to retain so you could essentially say I want nuch to make sure that every 15 days it crawls the entire site for us we have a lot of pages so we're actually on a 30 day cycle but essentially it also factors in all of those deltas of knowing when the content was done and now that we have the publish date we'll also be able to use that publish date and feed that publish date into the configuration for nuch to say if this publish date is X then we need you to crawl this information more frequently so then so it's not really a real time then it sounds like are you doing it like you're then telling nuch to go re-index that page or is it but no saves it can take at least 30 days before it's updated well no so our nuch server is constantly crawled so if it finds new information and it takes probably about a day for it to find new pages and new information but it's constantly in real time trying to update itself so it's running through its list of URLs that it constantly is going through we also have a separate process which well it's not real time we can basically sort of jump start that by saying please spin off a separate nuch instance to search the specific box we have not done the connection between a Drupal module that basically says as soon as it's published send it into a queue to spawn off this nuch but that's completely one of our overarching nice to have things that we would like to do it is one of the problems like the current module that we have on people the issue was the only question is according to the fields that we define at save and there are some stuff that we need more from the pages right and also third party external pages are not contributing to the other or like we can't push that information so we can just use that so we need to put everything in one search index so we don't have to manage the progress yeah like mainly because we can't manage what because not all the sites only that specific site installation would have those fields like some other site that uses WordPress then we expose those fields to be pushed to the they require a separate nuch configuration for those specific things so the advantage from the university perspective that we have is that all of our sites are on a common look and feel and so the fields that we use are very consistent between site to site so for our 300 Drupal sites we basically have one configuration in nuch that says on a Drupal page this is what you're looking for this is what we're providing in terms of the fields that are going to solar those fields need to be public and then you can be public yes you can have some private fields say I want these to be higher well no so the way that it works is that after you collect those fields then you have boosting within the solar configuration that says I want to weight this field higher than this other field for instance when we have the publish date we're going to boost that in terms of the viability of that search result versus the other elements so it's going to be more important to us than say that you've actually have education seven times in the content body of that element does that help sort of no yes so how do you manage the elements like you said HR is actually searching for human research yes let's say tomorrow there is a requirement if you search for research which should give you the result for human research so do you actually go on the solar side update the synonym.pxt to add the new synonym and make it work or do you have an automated way to make it work from the web to synonym that's another one that my lead developer wanted to add in where basically we could go from the Drupal side and have it populate that synonym yes however currently our solution is that we have a get repository so in the xml for that for the synonyms we basically update that and then we have a direct runner which basically updates the solar configuration every single time that we update our get repository and that's the way that we handle that we're not handling it directly through Drupal but that is the runner and then we have to update the file so you have the virtual solar and the web solar and you see the solar because no that's important and it's independent so the Drupal side of things is independent and doesn't require anything to be updated from the Drupal side of things for basically say I have new information on the solar side that controls that so Drupal basically is completely agnostic of that information and I've heard of a site specific search yes which as we don't have what that looks like it's just a boost so if somebody is searching from a certain sub site and you want results really targeted to just that site so what we've done in our Drupal side is we've identified every single one of our multi sites with a unique identifier and so we can actually target that with a mapping tool that we have and basically say in our solar search results as a field so as I was saying before communication you actually have a specific department of communication identifier associated with all of the links that were crawled by NUTCH so we'll be able to leverage that with our classes and our filters right thank you very much enjoy


Russian instructor speaks about new problem for Russians, complains about heavy losses. Russian military instructor Sviatoslav Golikov has accused the Russian command of criminal negligence and incompetence during attack organizations. He was especially outraged by the video of another failed meat assault of Russian troops near the village of Burdichi, near Avdivka, which led to heavy losses among the occupants, writes Abbas Revotel, media outlet. The media outlet published the corresponding message on his telegram channel. The Russian complained about the command of the Russian troops who sent the BMP2 together with the paratroopers into the zone of direct hit with small arms, moreover, unexpectedly for them. Another clear illustration of criminal incompetence or criminal negligence is organizing the attack, the Russian commented. According to Charter 97 media outlet, thus the video of the 47 separate mechanized brigade shows how the kafir's BMP2s together with the paratroopers broke into the village. However, Ukrainian soldiers from the company of attack UAVs stopped the enemy vehicles with the help of FPV drone, eliminating four invaders at once. At the same time, the infantry of the 26th separate rifle battalion of the 47th SM brigade got an advantage and destroyed the rest of the occupants. The vehicle with the paratroopers bluntly entered the zone of direct hit by small arms and unexpectedly for themselves but not for the enemy. And there was not even a Bradley there, they were simply killed by the shooter. In general, a typical example of incident elevated to a routine practice. The classic of the genre of setting a combat task in the style of go there, there is no one there or go there, they will meet you there, which we all love. And whoever are not there, they do not meet you there. The Russian Military Instructor writes. Terrified passengers have leapt into the sea to escape a fire ferry traveling to a popular tourist destination off the coast of Thailand. The vessel from Suratthani province was about to arrive at Kotao when a passenger suddenly heard a crackling sound and smelled smoke, Mithri Pramjampa said he saw billowing smoke and fire less than five minutes later, and that was when people started shouting and rang the alarm. We could barely get the life bests in time, he told the Associated Press. It was chaotic. People were weeping I also teared up. All 108 people on board, of which 97 were passengers, were safe, officials said. Footage showed huge plumes of black smoke billowing from the ferry, with vehicles and families including young children on board and several boats going to their rescue, people could be seen hurrying out of the ferry's cabin while putting on life jackets, this thick black smoke swept across the vessel and it became engulfed in flames. Mithri, a Suratthani resident who often travels to Kotao for work, said several boats came to their rescue around 20 minutes after they called for help, but the boats could not get close to the ferry out of fear of explosions. He said people had to jump into the sea to be rescued. Everyone had to help themselves, he said. The ferry from Suratthani to Kotao carries both commuters and tourists. Kotao is about 100 kilometers from the coast.


Hello people! I'm Ginny Metherill and I am a fourth-generation witch. Today we're looking at my ever-popular Almanac series and this is all about the witchcraft that you can do on each day and throughout the month of July. Always with these videos, what I'd like to do is to give you a general overview of the witchcraft trends that run throughout the month of July and then we will turn to the individual days and look at the nitty gritty detail and what witchcraft you can do on which day. So with that said, let's start with our general overview. July is the last month of summer. I know this sounds contrary to popular belief but summer has always been defined in the old calendars as the month of growing and maturing whereas autumn are the months of ripening and fruit setting and so this is technically the last month of summer. The last month of summer was the time when people, our ancient ancestors, would look to sieve travel because this is the safe time to travel. Now with sea travel comes an awful lot of complications. You have to fight mermaids, you have to fight sea monsters, you have to get there so navigation's a problem, you have to fight the weather and so this is the time when you would make a beacons to the sea in order to calm those and give yourself a fortuitous journey. One of my favourite traditions to do throughout July though is of course to placate the mermaids. Mermaids, those creatures of legend who will lure you onto the rocks if you displease them but lead you into a safe harbour if you placate them and what people used to do in olden times was to simply make a garland of flowers and this was an offering to the sea. They might do other things as well such as pouring alcohol into the sea, mead was always very popular, mead being the fermented honey drink that is delicious by the way, make it I promise you you'll like it, it's like a dry sherry honey sweetness, lovely. I'm when I was a student I used to colour mine blue because I thought it was cool and still do. Well you might simply bless your boats and ask the mermaids to take care of them because we have an awful lot of sea traditions don't we? One of the most famous that I'm sure you all know about is the breaking of a bottle against the bow of a ship when it is christened for the sea and it's very important that the bottle must break and the liquid flow because otherwise it's going to signify bad luck. We have a lot of seafaring traditions and a lot of them use knot magic and this is where essentially knot magic developed from, from sailors. So some of my favourite knots are things like the Celtic Love Cross where a sailor would make this beautiful intricate knot to carry as a love token and to give to his sweetheart when he left. Other such knots are the monkey's fist. This knot is particularly wonderful, it was actually used to ward off evil spirits. I mean this is why people now use it as a doorstop because it is anti-negative forces so get one, stick it in your door. I'm not quite sure why that would work actually thinking about it. Maybe it's the intent that you just put into the knot when weaving it because it is quite a complex knot is it not? Oh look I'm a parrot. Maybe this month of July is why we not only look to the sea, we also have a very great affinity with wells and springs at this time. This making offerings to your spring or your well which is the vital life source of energy for every person and animal on this planet dates back so many years and we can see it today in the well-dressing ceremonies that are still carried out throughout Derbyshire and the northern counties of the UK. This is where they take panels and put clay onto them and then make intricate patterns with petals showing varying scenes and here are some examples that I'm talking about here. This well-dressing is simply a sort of overspill from the times when we would make offerings for libations and go and generally percate the spiritus loci the spirit of place at our local well because it was of course believed that most springs and many springs do have a guardian spirit. These were not necessarily good guardian spirits and they were considered some to be just there to snatch your children. We have many names to them they're old and ancient. Jenny Greenteeth is possibly the most famous. She is an old witch who died and now inhabits the rank and stagnant ditches of summer with her long fingers and her green hair which looks like pondweed and she's there waiting to snatch a child if it comes too close. She has glowing eyes and lives just below the surface of the water. There are other names for this spirit which is known as either Nelly Longarms or Peg Paola to name just a few. So watch out going to those stagnant ditches near the countryside on your way. You might be taken in by Peg Nelly or Jenny. The name July is obviously named by Julius Caesar who reformed the calendar and yes you guessed it called it the Julian calendar and named his favourite month the month of July after himself.  Yeah I mean I do know fair play to hear you know if I was going to reform a calendar I'd definitely reform May to be called Ginny. The main occupation for the whole of July is the fact that it's hay making time and therefore there are very few festivals because this is back breaking work and our ancestors were generally hard at it cutting the hay and creating their hay ricks to feed that animal throughout the winter. Hence why we don't have many festivals the agricultural calendar doesn't allow for it we're too busy out in the fields working. So that is my general overview for July. Look to the water go out to sea make your long sea journeys great time for cruising otherwise make a beacons to the spiritus Loki of the wells and springs that lie around and watch out for those mermaids because they are abounding at the moment. Now let's move on to the day to day witchcraft and we're going to start with the third of July because this is the night of the full moon. The full moon for July is known as the worked moon which means herb because obviously herbs are at their peak at the moment the mead moon. Mead is an Anglo-Saxon term meaning meadow and of course that is known also as the hay moon. This moon on the third of July is one of the first of four super moons meaning it will look bigger and brighter than all the other moons. The third of July is also the date that the dog star Sirius is seen to rise in the early morning. The dog star Sirius is seen now to rise from the third of July to the 11th of August and this period is known as the dog days of summer a time of ill omen. The Romans believed that the rising of the dog star added to the heating of the summer and therefore this is a time when your wine turned sour, dogs turn mad and your folk sickened. Yeah summer melodies I think the best thing probably to do between the third of July and the 11th of August is just go to see. The fifth of July is known as old mid-summer day and due to the shenanigans of calendar reformation throughout the year now this day it is important that you do not go outside after dark. You must be aware of being abducted by Robin Goodfellow or Puck that prince of the fairies. Now the one way to get round this is of course to turn your coat and put it on back to front. The sixth of July is the day that the earth is at Athelian which means furthest away from the sun so in order to celebrate this as the sun being at its height essentially go to a stone circle and have a dance. I love dancing round stone circles one of my favourite activities to do in fact. Now the eighth of July is a day that's not good for frogs according to Reginald Scott who wrote the discovery of witchcraft in 1584. Today is the day that you should harvest frogs to make love potions and cures so if you have some frogs keep them well hidden from other witches. The ninth of July is the date that Venus shines very, very bright. Now Venus is the planet of love and beauty and it's shining so bright tonight that it may well cast shadows upon the earth so if you are looking for greater beauty one of the things that you should go and do is to dance in the light of Venus and let it bathe you with its light. Thirteenth of July is the day when it's sort of expected that most of the hay harvests will be pulled in by the farmers. If you marry when you have collected the hay harvests in but before you start the grain harvest owoe betide you and there is an old traditional couplet saying this they that wife between sickle and scythe shall never thrive meaning don't get married between these times because it's unlucky. The seventeenth is the night of the new moon rising in cancer and this is the new moon that rises underneath the serious dog star and so therefore it is considered the time that the druids would collect their herbs with their golden sickle and one of the herbs that took at its peak and was most precious to the druids at this time and to pretty much everyone the self-heal. Taken as a tea it's good for fevers, applied as a poultice it staunches bleeding and as a gargle it is great for sore throats. There have been studies showing that self-heal can delay the growth of viruses such as the hiv virus. It is also an antibacterial plant if you steep self-heal in distilled water and then add that into a bottle with equal amounts of vodka that makes a great room spray in a sick person's bedroom so it would clear out and kill any you know floating germs etc. You need to use self-heal in healing magic so you can make a sal from it to cure anything from skin diseases or use it when you're gargling if you've got sore throats or in your room spray just put your intent on it it creates a great base from which to work your healing. The new moon as I said previously is rising in cancer now new moons are considered to be great times to make new plans and look for new beginnings and each new moon has its own energy depending on the astrological sign that it's in. The sign of cancer is domestic harmony the family the home so should you wish to set any intentions for the coming month about keeping your family happy safe and together this is the time to do so. 22nd of July is not particularly witchy but I have to tell you this story because it makes me laugh Mary Magdalene who was a famous christian woman and is the patron saint of all prostitutes now what makes me laugh about this is on this day the church previously would punish anyone who had been prostitutes in their community by forcing them to stand in the church door wearing a white sheet and with bare legs and feet now this was just an opportunity for the prostitute to advertise her wares by standing wrapped provocatively in a beautiful white sheet and displaying her shapely legs so they stopped that but it does make me laugh 23rd of July is the date when you must protect your horses from the nightmare the hag who rides them and drains their energy at night and the way you do this is to place a hagstone around their neck you hang it from their neck and the hag is therefore unable to climb upon their backs and ride them through the night and this is where the term night mare, mare being a female horse comes from keep your horses safe tonight Don't forget my Patreon meeting is coming up in July last month we did telepathy and it was so cool literally we had so much fun doing it and everyone was really good at it out of all the meetings I think there was only two people who weren't able to get it for very witchy reasons may I say come and join and you can learn these tools too I promise you will enjoy it go to patreon.com forward slash at Ginny Metherill and they'll tell you everything there otherwise don't forget to like and subscribe because it really helps my channel and it means I can carry on making these videos for you and I will see you in a few days
