All right. Can everyone hear me and see my screen? So, hold on just a quick minute. I'm just a little bit behind.  This one. Alright guys, so it's an open mic, but if you're talking and not, you know, adding to the discussion here I'm just going to mute. I'm just going to mute the person. So, yeah, just bear with me for just a moment here guys. I'm just trying to get something up. I think all the time you need. Yeah, yeah, just another second. Sorry guys. I'm just getting a slide ready. Okay. Okay. All right. So here we go. And so this is the, you know, the Bitcoin trading competition breakdown. We're going to go through things that you guys see. We'll have a discussion here back and forth. And we will go through trades and look for opportunities, etc. I got to go through the disclosures first. The general disclosure, all book map limited materials, information and presentations are for educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations. Risk disclosure, trading futures, equities and digital currencies involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. But as you guys know that the trading competition here, it is in demo and you got your $50,000 account. I guess like start off the right off the bat here like any questions on getting set up here. Does anyone have any any issues here because I know it's complex. But we should be looking pretty good here and you should have access to, you know, your Bitcoin through trade of eight. And then I have here as you can see the Bitcoin USDT spot and then also the perpetual and then I also have Binance futures. Now, just as an overview, first off, you need to have this one to trade. You need to be in live trading mode down here. And then you need to have, well, you don't need to have anything else really. We highly recommend though that you look at one of the book map data instruments here, multi book instruments, especially the perpetual. This is tracking very closely to the Coinbase futures product here. So the reason being look at the liquidity here. So I've got like six hours or so of more than that, I guess data here since 5am. And, you know, we have a lot of liquidity up here at 22 500. If we look at the Bitcoin in here, you know, I just don't see much at all. So, so there's like a one market making algo here looks like, you know, 500 on each side here. And that's what you see kind of kind of work in price in here. And then the other the other reason for connecting to your Binance futures here is you guys have access to fight in the heat map, you have access to the liquidations indicator.  In fact, let's I'm going to turn it over to the currency quote. So $59,000 here just were liquidated.  They're, they were liquidated their positions were short. And they could not cover their margin. So the exchange liquidated their position. So it's always good to see this like stop runs or whatever. I think it's even showing you more than a stop run. So anyway, that's the reason to have some of these other products here. Once you have them and you're all set up in here, then save your workspace come up here do workspace save as give it a name and then save it. So when you load this workspace and you want to trade for the competition, you've got all your instruments. You don't have to go through this process again. So, yeah, anyway. Yeah, let's take a look and see what's going on here. So hold on just a minute. Okay, and I know I kind of came in late here with the YouTube video and I know the and I even kind of question if we're going to even do this in YouTube but we'll give it a try today and see how it goes here. Bruce, I'm following you in YouTube, but I don't see your shared screen on this court. Ah, really? Okay. Okay. Yeah. Sorry about that. Good point. Okay. How about now? Good. Thanks. Okay. Okay. All right. So what, well anyway, let's just dive in here. I mean, let's see what are we looking at here? I mean, I'm not really seeing too much. This is looking pretty promising. We've got a lot of volume up at the kind of upper end here and dipped all the way back down here to 22,000. And then we see the buyers coming back in. So, you know, looks like they're going to try to go for this liquidity to me. But we're already kind of above these sellers in here. So, yeah, I'm bullish. And we already had our liquidations here and a pullback. So looking, looking to see if we can get some more buyers to come in here. We might have to go a little bit lower here, hit some more liquidations on the downside before kind of coming back up to hit 500. That's that's my take right now. That's what I'm seeing. You guys have any questions you want to you want to go over anything in particular? Yeah, I heard some questions about the randomness. Okay, sure. Of the market. I don't understand why Bitcoin is just this. I don't know. Volatile is maybe that word to say, but jumps all across over the place and like so slow in comparison to the S why is that. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think in it's first off.  And then this is my take on it. So, I'm not quite too sure. But number one is like we know for sure that in general, people that are trading this are are rather new traders. And rather young. And it's just been it was $60,000. Now it's 22. 22,000. So, you know, probably a lot of people just, you know, COVID period is over.  And there's probably not a lot of interest and there's probably a lot of algos in here. From what I have seen in trading this instrument, it's, to me, it just seems like it's so algorithmically just dominated here that it's event driven. Okay, so there is algos don't care about time whatsoever. There's no timing of the market really, or time means. I mean, yeah, you can go with maybe the stock indexes and, you know, other times when this will correlate. But it can be, yeah, I find it, it can be kind of frustrating. You can wait around for hours in here as it does nothing. So that's kind of my opinion, very much so. But it's very accurate. What's that? That's very accurate because I was trading the whole day. Eventually, I didn't want to play anymore. For some reason, that's really bad.  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so, you know, I don't know.  I don't know if you guys, I don't think it's part of the package, but we can, we can try it and take a look here. But yeah, you know, I'm still, I'm looking for them to trade up to this 500. And I think soon, basically. So, you know, buyers are starting to come in now, but this does not move like the futures. That's for sure. So you see someone else had a question, I think, either Frosty. Yeah, Bruce, just a couple of things. You talking about liquidity, do you see it really drawn to liquidity, like some of the other exchanges? Or how does it act in regards to liquidity? Yeah, good point. Or good question. Yeah, absolutely.  It played, you know, all the way back down to the bottom of the range. And then, you know, they're kind of inching toward it again here. So I think it wants this liquidity here. I think the market's looking to trade up to this 500. What's above it? Not a whole lot. 600, 700, you know, 823,000. But yeah, you know, looks like this is just kind of, kind of classic stuff. Would love to see maybe more on the bid underneath these levels here, trying to chase it a bit. But not seeing it right now. So it looks like it's going to, you know, it may be able to take a while here. But to me, it looks like it should come up pretty quickly to 500. That would be my take on it. Okay. How effective are the absorption and sweeps indicators on this? Is it, do they work at all? I've got mine running. And it looks like it's detecting stuff. I don't know how accurate that is. Sure. Sure. Well, let's jump over. So another one, you know, you guys can see I have the cross BBO, Best Bid and Offer here. So this is the trade of eight instrument here, the yellow and the blue. Right. But let's throw on the sweeps and absorption. The thing is, though, is like, basically frosty, you'll be getting kind of a advantage there. The other guys won't have access to that. That you already had book map. So that's why you, you, you have access to the sweeps and absorption. But yeah, let's, let's throw it on here. This, yeah, see, this looks like we're getting ready here, getting ready to hit it. Now, the, what I've seen also in crypto is like, you already got to be in it. Basically, I'm not advocating or recommending a trade. But you'll just pop really quickly, you know, that's what I've seen at least. And I haven't traded much in crypto. But, you know, that's, let's take a look at the Binance futures here. Yeah, we're starting to get some liquidations up here as well. Are you saying taking the high and the low? Am I saying what again? You're not about the trading.  I don't feel like I should be trading this because yeah, I'm in the competition. But like, you know, yeah, I don't think I should be trading this. Like, maybe I can play some trades, no problem. And, you know, it would be more of a kind of a demo thing. But I'm not, I don't want to win this or anything like that. That's for sure. So, you know, I got to be kind of outside, I think, of the competition. That would just look way too weird. Just like, oh yeah, Bruce won. Yeah, that'd be horrible. So let's see if we can get this pop here. It's looking really good to our 500. And Bruce, you said there's no cross trading, right? It's too bad. The cross trading, we tried to get it fixed and ready to go. We couldn't, you know, with the multi-book product. The multi-book is a lot more complex. Because we're, you know, connected here to Binance Futures, Bybit, and OKEX for the perpetual here. But it would be awesome. I mean, it's really too bad we can't trade from here and have the trades routed over here. Yeah, that's maybe something that's eventually coming. It is. It is. Not only is the cross trading and cross BBO will be available. I mean, the cross BBO is available now. At least you get that. But we're also going to have liquidations. So you won't have to have this chart open either. So I'm not sure how it's going to work with liquidations, because it's only on a few exchanges. And Binance Futures is the best by far. So, because it's a leveraged product, so people are getting liquidated all over the place. Whereas the spot, you'll see it. Like, you know, it's not, you'll get them every now and then, but not as much. So anyway, let's get those sweeps up here on that perpetual. I'm going to close this one. I haven't really been looking at the spot. I don't think the heat map is showing me too much either. And also you'll note here, if I put the best bid and offer on this one too, the, yeah. Oh, it is on there. It's already on. Okay. Yeah, it's pretty close. It's pretty close. It's not bad. But yeah, the liquidity in here, I don't really like it too much. I'm going to close that one. But I'll keep open the perpetual. This one's been pretty good. Let's put the sweeps on here too. I would make a difference where you have them. I've been looking more at the Binance, but I guess perpetual is good too for sweeps and absorption. Yeah, let's take a look. I don't even have it up. Just trying to get an idea if we can kind of see where stop runs are, that kind of thing. Yeah, sure. I mean, this is looking pretty good to me. Maybe it's a little much right now. We'll tone it down. But we saw a bunch of liquidations here just now or what time this was right before to East Coast. Let's see here. Yeah, 297, but look at them all over here. Quite a few. To me, it looks pretty good. I think it's given you something. We can tone it down here a little bit. Let's look at, let's go with automatic mode. We can go with more price levels maybe. Okay, not bad. Yeah, I mean, one thing about crypto too, like what I've noticed with the Binance futures in here. I mean, it's just fascinating. You watch them, you know, all of these liquidations at these kind of extremes and it tries again. If it doesn't get that many, it will rotate back down to, you know, maybe it'll try one more time.  Yeah, you can kind of maybe use it as an indication of kind of an exhaustion level where it's just kind of. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Like, you could also kind of almost, you know, you look at the diversions here, you know, so and it makes sense to, you know, it's not just because it's divergent. It makes sense that, okay, well, you know, if they're not, if the market goes higher and is not finding buyers here compelled to buy, then, you know, maybe it'll find, you know, sellers on the other side and kind of rotate around a little bit. And I see if there's like, you know, weakness down over here and sellers to drive the market. So, you know, I don't know, I've seen it. You have to be a little careful with it is from what my experience has been like, it'll come up into these areas in here. If it's a trending day, it'll just keep keep going. It doesn't matter. Like, even if you have divergence or whatever, just, you know, that trending day just keeps going higher and it'll still find people to liquidate market will find it. So, yeah, but pro K, like, you know, you're talking about the kind of doldrums in here, just kind of just rotates back and forth hitting people, you know. And then until like something kind of happens and that that event unfolds and then, you know, and then it moves very, very quickly. It'll be really hard to catch is but, you know, you already have to kind of be in it. Yeah, I'm going to try it tomorrow again because this is too much for me. I got to participate more in it, I guess. Yeah, yeah. I don't know. I mean, you know, kind of look at some relative volume in here as well. You know, we know that this was a big liquidation over here or sweep earlier. And, you know, it's a lot of buying in this area here. So like, like we were saying, we were looking for this, this is looking really good right in here, you know, to move, move up to here and then try to trade into 500. And then it comes up here and you get 23k liquidation. So half of that and, you know, start to kind of rotate back down again and kind of test these areas again. And this is the auction process here. So, you know, another one frosty would be the correlation tracker in here. So we can try that as well. I have to have the S&P open. Shoot, I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that here. Yeah, yeah. Anyway, yeah, I don't think I want to do that. I had a crash previously because of the way I'm set up with Rhythmic. It's okay, Bruce. I'll give it a try. You see some, you usually see correlation between the ES and Bitcoin? Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's been following it for a while. Yeah, there we go. Now this is working right. Well, yeah, take a look at it and see. It's kind of broken down recently, I think, just because of, you know, what's going on with interest rates and Bitcoin's been kind of doing a bit more of its own thing. Over the last, like, I don't know, month or so. But before all of this stuff with the interest rates, it was correlating pretty closely, I thought, which was weird. Years ago when Bitcoin came out, I thought it was going to be the flight to safety like gold or something like that. Instead, it ended up correlating with the stock indexes. It was more like a risk on, risk off type of thing, you know? Yeah, I noticed that as well. Relative to the, I don't know, I would say the yes, but it was kind of the same in a way. Yeah, yeah. The, let's see, what else was I going to say? Yeah, one of the things, like, you know, we have Rain, he's actually away on vacation this week. But, you know, he trades the crypto markers pretty much exclusively. I think it's good. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah, who's that RJ? Stepping fun with this one. I'm going to mute your RJ. Here we go. Okay. So, the, Oh God, what was I just saying? About the, I just lost control track of what I was saying there. Oh, about rain, yeah. Yeah, you know, he's looking at much higher time frames. This is what I was going to mention. So, years ago we did a Binance Futures competition.  It just doesn't work. You have to be very careful.  But if you do a market buy, you get that spread. And that spread, you have to get up, you know, let's say you bought it down here. You have to get up to top of the range or even better just to get to break even. So, it, you know, it's like, you got to kind of wait for the higher time frame. Yeah, we do. Yeah. We need to make one. You need to make like a emergency thing. All right, all right. Ladder dad. You're looking right at it. Ladder dad. You are muted. Amazing. This is comedy hour. It's nine o'clock almost over here. So. Oh, okay. Okay. Where, where are you? Pro trader? Netherlands. Netherlands. Okay. All right. Yeah. So, well, I'm still kind of looking for this 500 up here, even though we came up here and it's just kind of dribbled off. That's the same with the ES. It's coming down. It didn't touch the IBI yet. Okay. So, yeah, the might have to, might have to come all the way back down into like this area down here, you know, some, somewhere around there. And it was a couple of areas to take a look at maybe, maybe it's just, maybe it's here. Maybe they'll buy off of this. We'll see. But just not enough action right now. You can see it here. It looks really good. Comes back up. It's looking good. This, this should do it here. And just not enough action, not enough buyers. And just, just kind of dribbles on down again here. Now, I don't see a lot of sellers yet either though. So. I'm still kind of looking by side here. Yeah. Higher lows, higher highs. This is, this too is looking really good in here. Frosty also in the competition. Yeah, I think so. All, all you guys are right. I'm in. Yeah. I tried out. I've never even looked at this market. So it's kind of interesting. Yeah. Yeah. So I know, I know I saw the questions on that. Well, a lot of questions in there. The limit size on the order. So you can trade up to 100 at once. So your max position size is 100 contracts. I just, just so you know. So I think some people like kind of went up to 100 and then stopped trading from the, from the leaderboard. But yeah, you can just, you can just, you can do all in all out 100 many times over if you want to do that and trade like, you know, thousands and thousands of Like me, I'm almost at 2000. Oh yeah. Well, there you go. I mean, sure. You can do that if you like. Oh, I don't like it, but I was just so crazy. Yeah. That's hard for me to do. It's hard for me to do that many number, that many. It just doesn't work for me. You just go 50 and 50 and 50. You will get there. No problem.  Go through 50,000 pretty quick. Plus 126 something. I'm on the edge. I'm on the edge. Yeah. This is a, it's a tricky market like, like you're saying, you know, that you think it's going to move and it just doesn't. In fact, today what it's moved about 400 bucks. That's not bad. 440, I guess, top to bottom here, at least, at least what from the data I have here. Yeah. Again, like these areas in here, just like that, you know, the advanced webinars, these areas in here, they look good, you know, here's the move back down, but buyers come back in again. Here they are. So looking for them to take it up to the top of the range here. And then they break it. And back down again for the pullback back up to these areas and never trade it up to 500. And then this is, here's your shakeout move. But again, we can, we can look at these areas in here. This is why I'm still, still bullish is, you know, all of that buying in here. And this selling in here is not bad, but we're above it already. So just waiting for the buyers to take control here or move it back up into, you know, at least up into here, you know, but 500 is where the liquidity is. So something like that. Most of the time what you do, follow the liquidation. What's that? That's what you're most of the time do, follow the liquidation. Well, just, you know, like that context of these buyers and sellers in here in the, in the range. I mean, it's the same old stuff again and again of, you know, who's moving that market and do they have potential to move it more. And they do up here. This is a weird move to kind of, you know, pull away from it. And then here's our retest. That's horrible. And there's not a lot of selling in here. So, but yeah, I mean, even down here, you know, that once you get those sellers kind of working it down here, they have the potential to go lower here. Just didn't. All right. So let's take a look here and let's see. Make the dots a bit bigger. Maybe you can tell them to go to 500. Come on. You can do it. Almost there. Yeah, maybe one quick kind of move below. So this is, this is what I'm kind of looking for is like, I don't see this buyers coming in yet. But where, where we need to see him is up here. And again, is this just be a cell structure because there is a week up? Yeah, I mean, it could, it could be. If the sellers come in here, they might be able to take it below these guys here. And then, you know, trade it, trade it back down into, into this level for these levels here and this liquidity down here. But to me, this just looks more like a, you know, kind of a big, it's not really a flag pattern, but like, you know, just a lot of buying in here. There's more buying than selling. So waiting for those guys to roll back in. Here we go. Let's see if they can do it here. We got a little bit coming in. This is a nice concept, Bruce. I really enjoy talking to you straight away. Oh, oh good. Good. So you like the open mic? Yes, yes. Okay, okay. Excellent. That's nice, Bruce. Question regarding time. Do you notice any time of day that this market's more active? I know it's a global market. Yeah, I mean it's 24 seven. I mean, I think just with the kind of worldwide markets from what I've seen that when there's when there's, you know, movement in the some of these other markets like it makes sense because, you know, the correlations or, you know, it Bitcoin kind of does its own thing. You know, from what I've seen as well, but, you know, those those other markets, they have, if they're moving, like this, everything's going to be moving. I've posted something in the BM trade of eight yet. Oh, okay. Look at. So this is looking pretty good. So I'm looking for it. I think we've come down low enough. I think we've got enough buyers in here to try to pop it back up here again. So, yeah, hey, hey, I'll take a position. A measly one lot, right? All right, let's do it. Bracketed. I'll take your brackets off for now. You got what Frosty was talking about about the Bitcoin volatility shower. You can see it. Website. Oh, okay. The in here. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, this is great. Interesting. Really? So it's the afternoon, huh? Yeah, somebody, some YouTuber made that and I thought that was an interesting concept. I don't know. So what? Oh, the UTC got you. Okay. Okay. So this is minus five hours basically, right? So it says where you are right now. 1800. No, UTC time zone now. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. So this would be like 6am or 7am, I guess. East coast time. Something like that. I guess. Yeah. You know, that was for yourself, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Shoot, I was looking at the, I forgot, I was looking at the Binance futures here. I was not looking at the perpetual. I think it's okay. That's interesting stuff. You're welcome. Yeah, good stuff. Share all my stuff at the time. Most of the time I don't really share my stuff, but if the opportunity is there, we'll share everything. Yeah, thanks. This is just a friendly competition. We don't really know what we're doing anyway, right? There are some guys that do it really well, but I have some skeptical ideas about it. How they trade it. I'm not going to criticize it. 3x3. Long 3x3. Well, let's see if we can do it here. Still kind of looking for that move. Yeah. This, the Bitcoin, or the perpetual here, doesn't look quite as clear, I think, as this is a little bit clearer. This is the thing that just drives me nuts, S&P as well. You'll get the move to the top of the range here, and it just goes back and forth again, and again, and again. We've got some sellers here. If we can get them upside down, maybe get them above here. All right. Now, these guys should be compelled to buy these guys here as well. Might be right, Bruce. Yeah, we'll see. We've lost it out here, so someone's going to get trapped here on one side of the other. Yeah. One thing that's nice, though, is to go, I just think your probabilities are higher. If you look at this and you go with the bigger trend. Yeah, this is, in terms of bigger trend today, there's not really a trend here, but I would say there's a nod to the upside, basically. Isn't it also true that we are switching from it you to another contract because everybody is rolling over? This, I'm asking in the chat here, and I don't know the answer to it, how Coinbase futures works. So I would imagine they're going to go to the Zee contract, but I don't know what the volume is or anything. I had to ask our team here, so I'm waiting for them to get back to me. Yeah, I got you. Yeah, because I tried to add in the Zee contract here and I could not. You'll know IB. Now this should expire on Friday, so it should be good for the competition anyway, right? Yeah, yeah. So it should be all right. And then you can always, you just look at their perpetual here with the bookmap data. That was a really great tip and the perpetual. This dip here. Boy, there's a lot of sweeps. I'm going to have to pump this up even more. So Frosty, you can see like, you know, this, it's not so gauged toward the crypto markets. But that's okay. We can get it working here. Just put in a bunch of levels. It has to sweep. Yeah, looking better. We can also bump up the time frame here. Yeah, I haven't really found a sweet spot for the settings yet. I've just been playing around with it this morning. So I'm quite sure. In crypto. Yeah, so I had to set the multiplier up pretty high and then I thought maybe it's a little too high. And so I've been kind of adjusting it. But I mean, yeah, I think once we get the setting right, I think, yeah, it's definitely something we can use to see. Yeah, try the levels. This will filter out a, should filter out a lot. Because that's a lot of price levels. It's got a sweep and it's still showing, you know, a few. Is there also a way to reduce the algos a little bit? I'm not sure what you mean. Well, if you watch the BTU2, see that it's a lot of algos. Ah, right. Yeah. Instead of a whole line of volume. It doesn't make any sense. I mean, I think this is, you know, these queuing algos in here. I mean, it's always 500 and, you know, market making algos in here. That's my opinion. But the light blue is not really necessary, right? Or is it something it's going to us? Yeah, the light blue is going to give us a little bit more insight. In this, I mean, this is, it's really thin here. I mean, look, look how many, you know, it's not, not bad on the inside market here. But it's, there's just not a lot, you know. And so we're not getting a lot out of it. All right. So let's, let's see if, how are we doing here? That's it. If we're going to get it to 500 or not. Yeah, I like it. I'm still looking for it here. This is our third attempt up here. There's a lot of power behind it here. Now this is, this is again, this is what I've seen in crypto markets. Everything looks great. And then it just goes a little higher and there's just no buying up here, you know.  But to me, this right here is looking outstanding. This is good volume. They just pulled on this level at, at 380 looking for 400. And let's see if they pull. And then maybe we can get up to like this 480. And that's where the majority is not 500. They're, they're at that 480 there. So 500 is not bad either though. But yeah, watch this kind of Peter out and then it'll come back down to here, you know, or here and retest that area. So yeah, it's looking better and better here. So yeah, now they're pulling at 400. I guess I should call them already, Bruce. Yeah, yeah, I guess I should put a stop in, huh? Or a target.  And that will, and I'll put, put in my limit here. So now if I go back to that with this witness is enabled here, it will, I can, I can still trade from it. I don't have to turn it on again. I just noticed Thomas over here as well. Oh, how are you? Yeah, yeah, you could, you could put a dome in here. If you guys want as well, use the trading dome here. So here I'll open up a new column and then choose trading dome. And then add the default dome here. Now, you know, it, it, this is what it did here, but I'll show you. It just, it's just too spaced out. That's what it is. Do you read a trade off of the dome or? No, I prefer off the chart. I really do. Just buy one and put your stops? Yeah, or I like multiples. You know, basically, so you can scale out and, and, you know, look, look for a runner. There's another COB calm. I don't need that. And let's go back to here. Okay. So not bad. It made it to the top of the range here and there's still some buying. It looks like. So it's almost three, it's approaching 3pm here. So, and they're adding quite a bit more up here. Yeah, guys. So at 480. So let me go back to 480 here. I think I'll just kind of put mine down at 480 or front-run it a little bit here. Did the, did the ES break the IBI already? I don't know. I'm afraid to put the ES on because last time I, you know, basically I'm, I'm connecting via rhythmic R trader and, and I made that connection and then it did something made my movement crash. So. I still got it between VWAP and V Park. Yes, it's hadn't broken the high yet. Oh, okay. Oh yeah. So, so it's going to be back to swap already first thing. Yeah, I'm on Z. Yeah. Okay. A lot of people over here in the, in the webinar on, or a lot of comments here on the YouTube. Elena, I'm not sure if you don't have access to that liquidation indicator. Boy, this should be a nice liquidation here. Yeah, 41K. The way to go here is go to help go to book map marketplace or I'm sorry, go to, you know, you don't have to go to book that marketplace. Go to the knowledge base, which is the user guide. Okay, go there. Once you're in here, then go to add ons. And then you'll see it in here. So you should have access to it. Click here. There's a video here and then look on the right hand side. This is the kind of the index for the, for this page. And then you'll see the, what is it, installation in here, right here. And that'll drop you down the page. Download it here. Make sure you have 7.3 build 26 or higher. And, and you should be able to add it. Just go through the process in here. Right. Or watch the video here too. Okay. Okay. So captain price. You've been pretty active in here. If you want to jump over into discord, the discussion is open as you guys can hear. You guys can hear that in YouTube, right? Should be able to. Hello, Bruce. Can I ask something? Yeah, yeah, sure. What is that blue and yellow lines on your chart? So this, this is the cross BBO indicator. So if I hover over it, this is the best, best bid here, the blue and the yellow is the best offer for, see it says B, B, I, T, U two at TV, which is trade of eight. So basically I'm projecting the price, or best bid and offer price from this instrument here onto Binance Futures here. Okay. So, so that way if you see any kind of discrepancies in here and you want to maybe take advantage of it, I'll have a video for you guys rain made a video of it. And he saw some really interesting stuff using it. So I'll have that later up later today or tonight. And then I'll refer to you, but you should have access to it for this competition. If you want to download it. Same process go to the knowledge base add on section and then go to you'll see it here cross BBO and talks all about it in here and you scroll down here. Here's the download link resting. Thank you. Sure. Sure. Yeah, as Frosty was mentioning, it's too bad. Like we just could not, we would love to it's complex. We would love to have the cross trading and cross BBO both available for you guys for the competition. So you could trade off of this chart and have your trades routed to your trade trade of eight Coinbase Futures instrument. Okay. So no reason yet, right to get out or anything. I'm just looking for the move up into 480 here. Okay. A little, you know, consolidation here. Now we don't know. It still looks good, but you know, if it rotates back down here and we get a bunch of sellers, it'll probably come right back down and test where it broke out from. That made me laugh because Tom was saying this as well to keep an open mind. I don't know. Yeah. I mean this for me, like, yeah, I hear Tom say things like that. I mean, it's more like scenarios, you know, this scenario can unfold. What will it look like? What will it likely do? That we can kind of piece together.  Hey, it's it happens. And that can happen at any moment. It's just less likely. It doesn't happen all the time every now and then. So, you know, we got to go with what we see right now.  It's completely opposite right now of the ES. Is it really? The ES is going lower right now. Yeah, but I'm on the other contract. So I didn't roll over. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, I'm kind of curious. Like, you know, a lot of times you'll see it on the look for it on the chart. You'll see on that on that you contract. Take a look where the liquidity starts to look a little weird. It probably happened around one this afternoon. I'm just curious. Okay. And see if you can see if you can see it in the in the S&P. You know, so the basically like around one o'clock, I would say your liquidity in the S&P probably look like this. You know. Oh, yeah. Do you see that? Yeah, it is. It is completely the whole day like that. The whole day like that. Wow. Okay. Cause I was looking at it earlier here. And the, um, and they're still saying this is the, this is the current month. And it is true until Friday. It will not be the current month, but look at the volume and the open interest here on the contract spec. You know, there's more. Oh, it's still a little bit. It's almost equal here. Let me, let me update it here. Just, just a refresh it just in case. Yeah. Yeah. It's still, it's still a little bit more on the September. I'm kind of surprised if this is accurate. It'll be right. But yeah, we'll, we'll see. We'll see, uh, if, uh, at the end of the day here, I mean, I'm sure today you'll, you'll likely see it roll. If not for sure tomorrow. All right. So yeah, just shy here. See, see the exhaustion here now that we're looking at this. Let's go back to the perpetual. Okay. So yeah, starting to see some selling come in. Okay. It's still, still bullish though. Sorry, Bruce. Agarasi, another question, please. Yeah. Yeah. Sure. I always follow the BTG USDT per features chart in my live broadcast. Why are you following this chart? Um, the, the, the perpetual contract. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, because, uh, well, this is the multi book product. Uh, and, uh, this is showing here. Um, uh, basically up in the top here, you can see, uh, it's a BTC USD Tether for Binance Futures, Bybit and OKEX. So I have three different exchanges here. So it's, it's giving me a bit more information. Um, the liquidity and the transactions are for three different exchanges, not just one. So if I jump over to the Binance Futures here, this is just one exchange. This is better. How did you like this one better? Yeah. Okay. The other one. The other one. Yeah. Yeah. I think this one's a bit better. Um, so, uh, go up and you'll have to make a connection here to bookmap data. Okay. And, uh, if you don't see it, go to configure. Uh, and if you don't see it here in the dropdown, if you haven't, you know, uh, added it already, you'll need to add it here. Okay. So go here and then you'll, you know, you're likely, if you don't have it, you'll need to scroll down to the bottom and you can see these ones I have not installed here. So then you'll have to install it. Yeah. I know. Okay. Okay. Where is the connection? So, so once you've made the connection, once you've, um, installed it and restarted bookmap, you'll need to restart. Um, then what you do is you, um, you add your connection here. Uh, and you're, you're going to select, um, from the dropdown bookmap data right here. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Then, uh, that's, that's it. Um, I give it a name, uh, and then, uh, you know, click okay. Now you need to come right back up here to connections and then you need to select it. All right. Thanks a lot. Sure. Then once you selected it, the, you know, the tab will show up here. You click on the tab and, um, uh, you will, uh, uh, uh, add in the, the symbol bookmap data, then BTC USDT and then perp for perpetual. And then it should show up just like this. All right. Let's see if these, see, see how we can kind of, kind of looking for a squeeze here, looking for it, right? Still looking for this liquidity here. And our squeeze is this liquid or these traders in here, uh, selling, uh, and then getting them on the wrong side here. If we can just get a little bit higher here on the, on the buy side, uh, and we should be able to see some, uh, a move up here and then we'll look for, we can even look here and finance futures and look for the, um, liquidations in here. Sorry. Someone else had a question. Somebody was sneezing. It was a sneeze. Okay. All right. Looking good. Now this, I'm looking for a quick pop now up into this here too. Um, just, uh, just because we got, we got some compelled, um, buyers in here due to the selling. And it's only hit seven K so far. I want to see 50 K hit. You called it, Bruce. So, uh, you called them. 500 is going to be it today. Well, we'll see.  Uh, 480 is really, it's not 500. Uh, so let's, let's take a look. Let's manage this, uh, here. Uh, so yeah, I'm just in front of 480. Uh, and the best, best offer is right on it right now. Uh, but, uh, there's a spread in here and it's you know, it's got a trade up here.  So I'm happy to get, if I can get it, I'm out and that's that. There we go. Okay. So I'm out. I'm flat. And, uh, that was that. So here, here was the entry down here. 350 or so. Yeah. 350. And then here we got out at 475.  Let's, let's jump over. Let's see. Now it hasn't, hasn't traded yet. Hasn't traded yet. So, and, and we got a little bit of a break there from the, uh, from that, um, uh, trade of eight instrument that, that Coinbase Pro. Um, it's a little bit higher. You know, you can see here. Right. So this worked on our favor, basically. Uh, and, uh, this has not hit that 480 yet. Uh, but, uh, over here, uh, it kind of did. So, uh, you can also see it here. Right. So that's another thing, you know, kind of a detail. See how the, this is, they're not, they're not aligned. Uh, they're off by, uh, let's see here. This is, uh, 430. And this is, um, I don't know what to call it. Is it, is it eight 480? Um, yeah. Or 475. Let's call it 475. So 430. So it's like 35, uh, or, um, 45 points higher. Yeah. About 45 points higher. Right. So that's, that's a kind of a detail. It's kind of important. So if we were shorting, you know, we'll have to adjust for the best bid and offer in here. This, this is how this, um, uh, is very useful to understand like, uh, the price range here for the, um, Coinbase Pro, uh, instrument versus this perpetual. Does that make sense to you guys? Do you have any questions on that? I mean, I guess it worked in my, in my favor. I mean, I got filled, right? But, um, uh, it really hasn't, this has not hit its liquidity yet. So basically, maybe I'm cutting myself a little short, to be honest. Cause, you know, this is likely to go higher to maybe 500 instead. Let's take a look. So even at 500 or 480, it should be up, you know, 45 points higher, right? So it should be up here around 530 or so. 525, 530, something like that. That's where we've got to see the, um, yellow line. If this hits this liquidity here. Pretty handy for the upside, but don't see, uh, benefits for the downside though.  Right? So it reached the target, my target a little earlier just because I didn't, I didn't, uh, have that in consideration here. So that's, that's basically a trader error. There is a bearish divergence on the cumulative volume data, can you see? Between here and here. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, um, I'm not much of a fan. Uh, I have to say, uh, the, um, uh, I've just been run over so many times that there is a little bit of divergence. It's true. And maybe it works out, maybe it comes down here, but all it takes is a little bit of buying back up here and it'll blast right through. Absolutely.  Uh, and then if you get something more out of it then, um, then you can go with, uh, the, uh, or as a correlation or confluence, you can go with the divergence. And then I guess, um, the way to look at it here, I'm sorry, who, who was speaking? A moment. Oh, okay. Um, so, um, yeah, another, another thing is to, you know, look, look at the, um, at the order flow in here in the structure. Uh, that'll be really helpful for, you know, if you want to go with this, uh, divergence or not, um, because, um, the, um, you know, it's still making higher highs in here. Um, and I still see buyers up here, uh, as well. So, to me, it looks like it still wants to go up there. Um, but, um, uh, you know, hey, maybe this is it right here, you know? Uh, you know? Yeah, sellers, sellers are now starting to see it. Um, and, uh, and bring it back down here. This is typical price movement. Uh, I am, I see always this structure. Okay. Well, what, you know, however you want to use it, uh, the tool is here. Uh, you are the artist. Uh, and, uh, look, the, um, yeah, here we are back down to the bottom of the range here. And now it's 315, so we've got, you know, some markets should start to kind of pick up a little bit. So we'll probably see some, some action back and forth now. This is freaking me out too. Like down here you see this, it says, um, connection lost here at trade of eight. Restoring. Yeah. And it's red. As always. Yeah. So, I don't know if this even documented it, uh, correctly. I mean, we're getting action in here. We're getting, you know, space action and movement. So it is connected, but I just, I don't understand, like, uh, I'll have to check if this actually went through or not. Yeah, I use it for like three months already and happening all the time. I didn't bother anymore. Okay. All right. I'll let the developers know about this because, uh, yeah, it says it's disconnected and clearly I'm not. No, it's all just fine. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Peaceful dragon posted something in the book about trade of eight. I think he has questions about it. Oh, okay. Hmm. Okay. The bracketed order doesn't work for you. Okay. So OCO is a little different than bracketed. Um, so let me, uh, let me test it here. So let's see. Yeah. Don't show again. Okay. So now where is it? Okay. No, it works for me. Yeah. So just, yeah, it works for me. I don't know what, uh, what you had said in here. Um, but, uh, okay. So try, try unchecking the, uh, um, trailing stop. That should work as well. I mean, you can have your bracketed order and then the trailing stop, uh, right to it as well. No, no problem. Okay. So, uh, peaceful dragon. I don't know if you want to give that another try and let me know. Just use one, one, one, uh, order here. It's, it'll barely register. I think that move I, I think, uh, I made 73 cents. So, I'm just going to flatten this. All right, guys, we'll, uh, let's see. We've been going for about an hour and 20 minutes. Um, let's, uh, let's, we'll call it, call it a day, I think, or at least, uh, you know, for, for now. You know, I, I set them all for next, this whole week. Um, that might be a bit much. Um, but, uh, you know, I'd like to be in here and answer your guys' questions and, and, uh, and help out, you know, however I can. Uh, the, um, uh, I'm thinking maybe, maybe two o'clock's not a good time. Maybe more like two 30 or three is better to get a little more action. But, uh, I think that's a nice feel. When is the day for me? Okay. So, uh, yeah, maybe, maybe we'll try, uh, uh, you know, maybe three, maybe the last hour. I don't know, I'll think about it and, uh, I'll let you guys know tomorrow. But, uh, yeah, somewhere around there. So we're coming back up again. Right. Now let's look at the kind of, the relative volume in here. Or, you know, what Scott calls relative volume. But we're looking just at the size of the dots here in the movement. Okay. We're seeing buyers come back in, but this, at this time, this is a pullback. So, uh, that Divergent Plague worked out pretty well. Uh, the, um, uh, you know, here's the move lower. And this is pretty, this is kind of what I was saying before. And maybe, maybe we'll have to jump over here and we can see it a little bit better. No, this is actually pretty good data here. Uh, more sellers at this lower area in here. Uh, you know, down below the swing. Uh, but this is a lot of selling in here compared to this buying in here. Okay. So, uh, this is your, this is kind of your low volume pullback here. Uh, and then basically, uh, if that's what it's going to do, then what we're looking for is some exhaustion on the buy side here.  Now for the price check. Yeah. I mean, for the opposite to unfold it, that's one scenario here. Um, but for the opposite to unfold and hit this liquidity here, then what we're looking for is the buyers, they really got to show up, uh, in here. Like right now, you know, we see that this is the volume in here. Uh, and it started just about in here. Um, and, um, this is a low volume pullback. So, uh, sellers remain in control until we see something different on this very, very small timeframe. Okay. So, uh, that's the, the concept here. So, if we get back down here, we see more sellers. They should be able to drop it down into this area here. Okay. It's not much movement. We're looking at $10 per tick, but, you know, this is the concept. That's important. Um, if, um, if we can get back up into here, if we get our buyers back up into here, they should have enough buying power to upend this, this selling here. Uh, and then, and then we're looking finally, finally to slingshot up into 480 or 500. I thought we'd get our quick move in either here or here and just steam roll over, uh, people and then see liquidations hit. So we, we got 24K, we got 12K on liquidations and then, uh, and then we got this. Now, funny enough, with this move here, there's no liquidations there. So that's, that's pretty funny. That's pretty odd. So, this is like, likely, uh, uh, you know, there's still maybe some weakness here to the upside, basically. It tested this down here. Just, uh, it's a thought. It's a thought. You know, I don't want to overly complex things in here, but, uh, it's a thought. Funny, funny enough, like, you know, this is, it went down below the swing and everything. You should hit some, some people down here and we don't see any liquidations whatsoever. So maybe we're gonna try back up again and, and if we get our buyers up, up about here 420, and then get back up into these areas here and get more liquidations. Right?  Well, the, the easiest liquidity, uh, to, to seek is basically compelled buyers and sellers that are trapped. Uh, or stubborn enough to not even exit the, the exchange has to exit for them. So let's see if we get our buyers here and if we do let's see if we can get up to 480 or 500. Anyway, uh, in terms of a trade idea here, it, this may unfold, but I, I, I don't think it's high probability. Um, I thought what we saw down here was a lot higher probability. Uh, it, it made sense to me, like, you know, we had, we had this area in here, buyers were in here, this is a pullback. We knew that. Uh, and then we're looking, if we can get our buyers up here, then we're looking for them to try to come up to at least, you know, up in these areas and then maybe 400. And if they can do that then maybe to 480, 500. Uh, that was the concept. Uh, and, uh, and then that played out. So, um, the, um, uh, this one here is like a little more this is a little volatility in here. So I'm not really, not really sure what, you know, what to think of, of the selling in here yet. I know there's, they didn't liquidate anybody. So I know that. But you just can't deny this is a lot of selling. All right. So, you know, they should be trying to test down here again, basically. I have one more question. By the way, sure. What are, what are the openings of the Bitcoin closest? There are none. It's, it's all blockchain. So, or you know, it's 24 7 24 7 because it opened this morning for me then on 6 o'clock. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The futures is true. That's the spot. The futures it's in the FAQs. Let me, let me, let me find it. Oh, my bad. Yeah. No, no, no big deal. So if we go here and we go to slash trade of eight. Okay. We go down, scroll down to FAQs. Okay. It ends at 1159 East Coast time. I didn't know that. I thought it was at the market close, but no, it'll go until basically Saturday morning or midnight on, on Friday night. And I did see it in here as well. It's added a competition. It will be just 24 hours. Yeah, no, but I did see something about that like in here. It's a now that's about registration. Yeah, here it's in here. Right. What are the trading hours? 23 hours a day. Okay. Five days a week. So that's because it's the nano Bitcoin futures from Coinbase Pro. So the spot market is always open, but this futures market is not. So it's because it's a derivative. So yeah, with trading halting from four to five PM. Now that's central time. So that would be five to six, just like the futures products same for the E-mini and the Nasdaq E-mini. They'll be closed the same hours. Monday through Thursday. Monday through Friday, basically. Yeah, so there you go. Thank you for your time, Bruce. Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Yeah, thanks for coming guys. It's enjoyable. And participating and think of some more questions or like what what you're looking at and what trades if you want to go over some trades you know let me know and maybe we can maybe we can even do a screen share. That would be a great idea. Yeah, yeah, maybe we can set that up. I don't see permissions right now for screen sharing just me, but if someone wants to then I should be able to enable them. You might have to restart your discord, but I can stream. Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, so all right, well, let's let me know what you guys think and I'll let you know tomorrow what we're going to do if it's going to be at three or two or maybe two thirty. But we got a little bit of action here. I mean, here was two o'clock here and, yeah, two thirty we didn't see much and but then we finally picked up around two forty five and then we got some action in here back and forth. So anyway yeah, in this scenario here yeah, I don't know like two scenarios basically I'm looking for a lot of buyers to come in here. I still like the upside to be honest. The liquidity is up here. It's been playing around with this liquidity all you know, day long and now is the time to hit it. So I'm still looking for the buyers to get back up above these guys here and then hit into this liquidity. That would be my primary scenario here. However these sellers try to shift the market away and we're looking to see if they come back in. I don't see them right now so I'm looking for buyers to try to press it up to here and then hit that liquidity. Secondary scenario would be like we get kind of up here and we exhaust out on the buy side we get back down about here middle of this range and we see some big selling if we see some big red dots in here likely back down to here maybe even back down to the bottom of the range down here something like that and yeah, leave you guys with those two scenarios and we'll come back and revisit tomorrow. Thanks Bruce. Yeah, thanks for coming guys and we'll see you tomorrow. Yeah, take care. Have a great night.

U.S. will carry out a series of strikes on Iranian personnel and facilities in Iraq and Syria. Washington believes that Iran produced the drones which was used to kill three American soldiers in Jordan over the weekend, U.S. officials told Reuters. The U.S. is reportedly planning a lengthy bombing campaign against Iran-aligned militias in Iraq and Syria in response. A drone packed with explosives struck a remote U.S. outpost in Jordan. Last Sunday, killing three American soldiers and injuring dozens more. The strike marked the first time that American lives were lost after months of attacks on U.S. bases in the region by various militant groups working in solidarity with Hamas. U.S. analysts concluded that the drone was of Iranian origin after analyzing fragments from the blast site. The officials told Reuters without giving any further information about the precise model. The White House has already blamed the attack on members of the Islamic Resistance and umbrella group of Iranian-armed militias operating across Iraq and Syria. U.S. President Joe Biden, however, said on Tuesday that he holds Tehran responsible in the sense that they're supplying the weapons to the people who did it. Asked about the Reuters report, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that the Pentagon was still doing the forensics on the drone, adding that most of the drones that are in the region have a connection with Iran. The U.S. will carry out a series of strikes on Iranian personnel and facilities in Iraq and Syria in response to the drone attack. CBS News reported, citing anonymous U.S. officials. Sources told CBS the strikes would take place over several days, while NBC News quoted the same officials as saying that the campaign could last weeks. Iran will decisively respond to any attacks on the country, its interests, and nationals under the pretext. Tehran's envoy to the UN, Amir Said Iravani, warned.


For some people, snow can be a reason to stay inside. For sailors in Masawa, Japan, the snow offered an opportunity for fun. Airman First Class Scott Taylor has the full story. While some Masawa residents may look for indoor activities during the winter months, this group of sailors decided that the weather was not reason enough to stay inside. It's just something to do, to get outside, to enjoy the weather. Even though it's cold, the whole purpose of doing it was because there was snow on the field. The inaugural Navy Snow Bowl was meant to bring sailors serving here on Masawa Air Base together. Events specifically for the Navy, such as this one or the Boat Regatta in the summer, can seem few and far between. That's what inspired Navy leadership to put the event together. The several feet of snow, which often can seem like an obstacle to overcome, was turned into a positive thing. When we had this idea before the snow really started, it was powdery when the snow started coming. Now we had a little bit of a melt, so people were sinking down into it. They're hitting the snow in a nice mixture. And it's just fun watching them out there trying to tramp through that snow. I'm glad they're doing it, not me. While the sailors played, their fans were there to support and cheer them on. Just look around, we got fans out here from every command. Out here we got all their friends, we got their spouses out here. We just got folks out here just enjoying each other. Ensuring how awesome it is to be in the Navy and just we're in all-weather service. So it doesn't mean just working in all weather, it means playing all-weather as well. Coming together and having fun along with staying warm was what it was all about. At least for most, Airman First Class Scott Taylor, Masawa Air Base, Japan.

The emergence of different SARS-CoV-2 variants, including the Armicram variant in November 2021, has resulted in a continuous major health concern at a global scale. Currently, the Armicram variant has spread rapidly worldwide within a short time period and has instilled serious uncertainties on the effectiveness of humoral adaptive immunity generated by COVID-19 vaccination or an active viral infection as well as the protection provided by antibody-based immunotherapies. Amidst such high public health concerns, the need to carry out booster vaccination has been emphasised, and current evidence reveals the importance of incorporating booster vaccination using several vaccine platforms, such as Viral Vector and mRNA-based vaccines, as well as other platforms that are under explorative investigations. Further research is being conducted to assess the effectiveness and durability of protection provided by booster COVID-19 vaccination against Armicram and other SARS-CoV-2 variants.


What's going on guys welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here today I bring you a fortnight of video which I will showcase to you guys which in my opinion is the best solo or even team spawn on this map here you get loads of epics legendaries and so much more Literally all you need to get going and get winning. It's a place I rarely see anyone else at and to be honest in my opinion It's the safest place to start with which I've found so far On screen now. We can see the exact location pin pointed on your map Just above it is a great team spawning spot Also, normally my team heads to this location while I go to the place in question today Which is a little below it so from the boss's view you want to look for this bridge right here Obviously the map rotates as the boss comes in different angles But always look for this bridge if you are in a team I'd say go up onto the mountain as a load of goodies can be found up there But definitely make your way down to this spot as it for me It's the most consistent place I've found for that epic loot for sure on screen now You're seeing a few instances of loot obtainable. It's also important to remember people that although this is a great spawning location You do sometimes get people spawning here and also Definitely up top to and the mountain above that place does sometimes get quite busy if you are playing solo or even in jewels I suggest you grab the loot from this place and take cover as I do and wait for the storm to come into effect As you can see on screen now this place can get busy So simply sit back and pick people off now for sure Many people will probably disagree with me on saying this isn't the best spawn spot Which I think is just a matter of opinion and play style Some people like to jump straight into the action and I understand that but others like myself like to approach this game from a defensive standpoint and Preparing yourself before getting into a battle is how I like to do things and this in my opinions One of the best spots to do this within this map as 95% of time a chest will spawn with next to this bed in the top room Which we all know can know that drop you that amazing loot but the loot around is broken house So is much much more you can obtain I've obtained a usual crap from the chest only to be welcomed by legendos and exotics within this house Normally this house offers all I need to get going for sure So yes guys just a quick video on what I believe is one of the best spawning points within the game I hope you enjoyed the video if so I want to see more fortnite videos do hit that like button Thanks for stopping by as always and hopefully I will see you on that next video Going where we stay


I would like to welcome you and invite you in the name of the Gebeklipe excavation team to travel back some 12,000 years to a very critical turning point in the history of civilization. It's a time when permanent villages were established, a new way of living developed on farming, which replaced the conventional subsistence strategies of mobile hunter-gatherers. So it was a time with some more critical turning points in the history of civilization. We're viewing this time period from the groundbreaking found recoveries made at Gebeklipe in southeastern Turkey. Well, when we consider this time period, it is the time when our ancestors went into farming. It lays the foundations of our modern civilization with land ownership, new technologies, and all of these were developing. So this is the time when it started somewhere in the Near East when we call the fertile crescent. Fertile crescent, we always knew that it was the beginning of agriculture, sedentary life began in the fertile crescent. But we always considered that it took place under environmental restrictions with some kind of a stress factor. So we were always considering the semi-arid regions of the southern parts of this fertile crescent. And it was always considered that the earliest farmers were simple villages living under harsh conditions, so they were without any complexity. However, the recent work in southeastern Turkey, especially along the Syrian border, North and Ark of the Fertile Crescent, it became evident that the abundant prosperity, the rich environment of this region, made it possible to establish settlements, permanent settlements, even before the beginning of agriculture. And now we have more than about 12 sites which reveal this fantastic culture, but will be seen by the most glorious one, the most fascinating remains that were recovered at Gebekli Tepe. So it is now we are calling it the Gebekli Tepe culture. What is the monumental architecture we know from other parts of the world, so the Gebekli Tepe is one of the sites which really revealed most fantastic remains. We have established permanent settlements, even at a time of 12,000 years ago, about 10,000 BC, in different environmental conditions, but they are all in the North and Ark of the Fertile Crescent in the southeastern Turkey. It was a period of intense interaction, there was a kind of momentum to change innovations. So one of the things that they really developed in this very early period is architectural practices. People always had dwellings, they were living in dwellings, but at the time with the establishment of settlements of the Gebekli Tepe culture, the dwelling became a house, there was a development in architectural technology, structural developments, then it became a house, and very quickly it became a home, retaining new values. So by the end of the Gebekli Tepe culture, which lasted for 3,000 years, we had all the architectural tradition of Near East had been already established. When we look at why this is important, as we all know, the beginning of our modern civilization, food producing, which we came later in the development with surplus food and with other economical modalities of our later civilization, is based on cultivation of cereals, wheat, barley, and the domestication of sheep, goat, cattle, and other domestic animals. So this is the essence of our present day civilization. And these started in the Fertile Crescent because the wild ancestors of these species are present in that environment. So the Gebekli Tepe people started as a hunter-gazers, they lived in the environment where these wild ancestors of the earliest domesticates were living, they were experimenting, and in 3,000 years, by selective mutation, they were able to develop these into cultivated forms, that were living based on farming, necessitated new technologies, new kind of food processing, food preparation of food, so new tools, new modalities, and the new way of life really completely became changed. But what is really surprising, even to us archaeologists, was the recovers in the settlement sites, they were really dominated by temples, by special buildings, monumental buildings, which were dominating the settlement area. They were in the earlier stages, they were around like the domestic buildings, but they were made to be special buildings, so their sizes vary from a size of about 8 meters to 30 meters, as large as 30 meters, but they all have identical plant types, plant settings. They have revetment walls, which are up to sometimes up to 5 meters high, which niches with buttresses and with monolithic stones, standing stones, set along the walls, and they are in central pillars also. We should consider that we are 4,000 years before the invention of metallurgy, we are still in the pre-pottery and Neolithic period, the construction of such a big, monumental architecture needs a social organization, so it gave us a new picture of a social structuring in the earliest stage of this early sedentaryism, that there was a kind of a domineering group, which were elite group, which were in control of the social process, which were making this organized labor to construct. And this time, with the development of architectural techniques, they developed into rectangular architecture, but against the setup of this culture, with the temples or pristine temples or cult buildings remain the same, they all have impermeable foreings, indicating that whatever ceremony was taking place, it involves some kind of a liquid, I don't want to say which kind of a liquid, but there were also benches along the walls, so that it was, whatever was ritual was taking place, it could be observed by a limited number of spectators. We always had being considering past primitive societies, they are all kind of depictions with kind of subsistence patterns, however those we now see with the Gebekli Tepe culture is completely different. We see a kind of a shamanistic world. Every living, moving creature in their environment, eatable or not, is depicted on the standing stones, lizards, insects, water birds, birds of prey, quadriplets, and every kind of animal, reliance, boars, which has nothing to do with their subsistence patterns, so it gives a kind of a naturalistic view of the world, so it's a very, very spectacular. In this context, I would like to commemorate Klaus Schmitz, excavator of Gebekli Tepe, who unfortunately lost two years ago, he was excavator of this Gebekli Tepe culture, and you can see it in one of the bore reliefs. And among the symbolism of that period, snake is kind of an important symbolic figure, it appears in the standing stones or in sculptured pieces, as the one in the back of a human bust. And as I mentioned before, all kind of living creature, tortoises, which are sometimes also are telling stories, insects, spiders, scorpions, and all kind of a completely shamanistic word we can see in the symbolism of this period. But what is also much more specific is the humanization of the divinities. All these standing tea-shaped standing floors are anthropomorphic in shape. The upper part represents a head, and they usually have hands folded by it, and so they are all representing some kind of deities of these people. However, in the central monoliths, there are some of them like totem poles, they are sculptured with male figures, sometimes together with other animals, like birds or lizards or bears and other animals, but they are really like the totem poles. But strikingly, we have it all the way, thinking early Neolithic was mother goddess, no, it's a male goddess. They are all male figures in the temple, so it's a male-dominated social system, which is very clearly in that period, in that region. Strangely also, all of the animals depicted as they are also male. And some of them are full-size sculptures, so they are also the earliest full-size sculptures of human beings now in the world. And also what we have been seeing is some busts and some kind of all kind of masks, but they are all male figures. And also what is very important from the Gubeltepe sites, we have a lot of skeletons now recovered, we know the skeleton remains of more than 1,000 individuals. And it gives also gives us a new picture of the social certification we can understand because some of the burials have rich burial goods, some have nothing, some of them are collective burials, but there are also some of them with skulls removed and skulls cached in somewhere else. And we can see that the skulls have been used in ceremonies because there are multiple layers of paint or lime covered, so they must be taken out in ceremonies. But who words that's another question, but now with new developments in the genetic archeology, we are learning much about their nutrition, about the subsistence patterns, about their DNA composition. And some of them have been telling us very tragic stories like this lady here who died when she was giving a birth to a twin, one of the twins is in her hands and the other one is still in the abdomen, but so is that the rich wealth of information we are able to procure from the burials of this period. And also which is was rather difficult for us to accept was the craft specialization. Because previously we always considered that specialized crafts began with a much later complex societies. And in the time of Neolithic era, what was doing whatever they could. But clearly what we have been finding is these Quebec typical sites is high level of craft specialization and not only specialized craftsmen, but also talented artisans. As I mentioned before, we are still in a pre-pottery period. All of these are made out of stone. And the workmanship quality of workmanship is extremely high. And as you can see, some of the artistic depictions indicates that they were really somebody was selecting talented artisans. There's a lot of examples and also especially with ornamental things is a rich variety. Most of them are coming from cemeteries. And also some stone plaques with certain giving us an image of some kind of way, image of that period, which is difficult to interpret, but there are certainly telling some kind of stories which will need some more time for us to really to understand what these stories are. And some of the depictions or the blown plaques is high quality of workmanship here. I think that is also very significant. They are giving all these stories with various ornaments, weeds and or bracelets as a high industry of it. And what is also very important is that some of the raw material which are coming for the manufacturing of these ornaments are coming from 2300 kilometers away. And you should still consider that there's no pack animals domesticated pack animals. So it must be all by walking. But they were interactive with a very large region. They were importing 10 tons of obsidian volcanic glass from over the mountains. And as some of these are really of high craftsmanship. So this Quebec culture began in the southeastern Turkey. It measured there. It developed there. It became an agricultural society somewhere around in the 8th millennium. Then we see that the culture collapsing. Why it collapses another story. I will not go into it. They are different reasons, not one reason. There's an environmental duration. There's a climatic fluctuation. But there's also some kind of a social turbulence. But as the consequence of this collapse is very important because the farmers started moving to other regions with the domesticated plants, domesticated animals bringing this new way of living to other parts of the world. First it went to the central Antolia from the Balkans and through the Mediterranean. And from the Balkans it became a global model laying down the foundation of later civilizations. It is this food producing farming economy that later triggered foundation of cities, city-states, states, empires and eventually the first industrial revolution. And also when these farmers were on move, their symbolisms, their symbolic values also changed. We don't have this male figures. This male data remained in the core area. Then they worked with female goddesses which as you can see, they are all steatopic. They are represent fertility. So subsistence became much more important. So this mother goddess image went with these farmers and the symbol of power became the bull. And in the artistic depictions, there are no more of the shamanistic impacts. We can also see hunting scenes and scenes related to their subsistence. So in this very quick overview of this period, this is how it all began. This is the foundation of our later civilizations. It collapsed. I think we will be speaking about collapse in another perspective. But this is the time when our present day modalities that began. And thank you for your patience.


Welcome to another episode of the non-profit show, you know, Friday's always a special day here at the American Non-profit Academy and the non-profit show because this is our ask-and-answer episode. It's super kooky. We get questions all the time. People will come up to me when I'm out and say, hey Julia, will you put this question up? But don't use my name or, you know, different things. And so we're really excited that we formed this partnership with Fundraising Academy because the questions are, sometimes we get the same types of questions, LaShonda, as you know. And then sometimes they're like completely out of left field and we're like, wow, you don't know. So let's hope today we're not in left field even though the Strohs are getting ready, they were getting ready to play. Hey, you know what, speaking of that, I got a witness to you. We're working on getting the Astro's CEO or executive director of their foundation on. Oh, Paula Harris. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She would definitely be a delight. Definitely. Yeah, oh, you know her. She was formerly, I don't know her personally, but I'm very familiar with her. She was a part of HISD, Houston Independent School District's board prior to becoming a part of the foundation with the Astro's. And she has a long history, roughly over 30 years in engineering and just, you know, being a catalyst and champion for women and in a space where we're few and far in between. And she's definitely done some phenomenal things in the community. So she definitely be great to add to the show lineup. Well, we're really excited. I've been communicating with her and she did say she was interested. So just got to get her scheduled. I mean, this is right now, they're in season. Yeah, it's a busy time, busy time getting ready for the all star break. I mean, yeah, there's a lot cooking. But anyway, hey, everybody, you've like entered the ask and answer zone. Of course, LaShonda Williams, one of our favorites here, a trainer with Fundraising Academy, you know, LaShonda was a guest earlier in the week. And it was fascinating. She was talking to us via the law school that she works with about alumni, relationships, affinity groups, working through that into really harnessing the philanthropy of that. And I thought it was riveting. I really, really enjoyed it. So check out that episode because it's super, it's super enlightening. No matter what you do in the nonprofit sector, I think there's some jumps there to learn. Hey, again, everybody, we want to make sure that we thank our partners in crime, as we like to say, boomerang American nonprofit Academy, your part time controller, nonprofit thought leader, Fundraising Academy at National University, Staffing Boutique, nonprofit nerd and nonprofit tech talk. We also can get you where you are get to you. I shouldn't say get you get to you wherever you are. We have the sexy new phone app. Thanks to Kevin Pace, our executive producer that championed this amazing technology. You can take this a quick shot of this QR code and get linked up to us. You can find us on all our streaming broadcast platforms as well as podcasts. So again, we'll go with you wherever you are going. Okay, you ready my friend? I am ready. Let's dive in today. Okay, Jamal from Chicago writes, everyone wants to take their vacations during a federal holiday to get that extra day off. It's causing us some stress in HR and scheduling department. Do you have any ideas, solutions or approaches to make this more equitable? Jamal, that is a good one. It is. It feels great to know I'm not the only one who from time to time likes to double down. We love to double down on the holidays. But the most important thing first and foremost, Jamal, I would say that HR should have a policy in place around vacations. Okay. And then they'll say they'll provide governing guidance.  But needless to say, I've seen it done a variety of different ways. It worked really well. And there's always that traditional, the first person who submits a request is honored. However, for someone like me who's a little savvy, I'll put in all my dates on January 1 for the whole year. And is that really fair to Julius? Would they say that early bird gets the worm? So I'd be the first one beginning the year ready to submit all my dates on the very first day. But is that really fair or equitable to the team? No. So when we're talking about equity and building teams and making sure that everyone has an office culture that is really a climate that's reflective of a positive work environment, then I would say to talk to the team about some equitable ways as for their buy in and what their feedback is, because it's important that we ask those that are impacted by the decisions because having their buy in will help minimize some of the potential challenges. And then as a leader, I would say Jamal that you can offer some incentives for those who may opt in to work alongside those holidays. So they may have a remote day option or consider an additional comp some comp time or even a comp day at a later time if they yield to one of their colleagues who really would like to be off for the holiday and extend their break because they have family coming from out of town or they have children. So just being very cognitive and mindful of the various situations, but definitely incentivizing the opportunity for those who decide to stay on and come back to work immediately following and prior to the other option that I've also seen enough. It's happened in my work environment in the past is we would alternate dates. So for example, if you decided that you wanted to take Thanksgiving, then you wouldn't take Christmas. So that's another mechanism in place to help create some equity within the division. But most importantly, ask have the conversation with your team and be prepared to provide some incentives for those who will yield to their colleagues that may not have been as early as LaShonda and put a request in on January 1st.   I, you know, I am totally not surprised that LaShonda Williams. Listen, she's on everything, man.  The first thing I want to do is look at the vacation calendar, you know, in higher ed, we tend to have all the holidays. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Mm hmm. Oh, God, that's hilarious. Well, I love your approaches. And I, I think the one thing I wouldn't have thought of and shame on me is to, you know, go back to the team and say, okay, what works for you? You know, what because maybe they have ideas. And I also like the idea of, of course, I've been in the environment where you if one gets one, you know, Thanksgiving Christmas, I was thinking, right, the women in the groups, and I do say women because the ones that are hosting Thanksgiving that are going to have, you know, 25 people over to their home for dinner or whatever, you know, are always wanting to buffer that time versus Christmas, they can, you know, let go, whatever. So I think, yeah, talking with your team and finding out, but I also wouldn't have thought about bumping that time to another period. So saying, look, if you're going to take one of the federal holidays, if you're not, then we'll grant an extra time off somewhere along the way. I think that's smart because especially in the nonprofit sector, where, you know, there are a lot of organizations where you need coverage, you can't just say, oh, we're closed. I mean, it doesn't work that way.  Yeah. Yeah. And the world we're in, you know, we have these hybrid opportunities as well. So an additional remote work day works, because it makes it convenient where the individual can get an earlier start and kind of still be at home and be able to handle some of those things. Yeah, I love it. Well, Jamal, I hope that helps you because it's really an important issue. And and also, you know, I hadn't put this into the package of equity and and equitable philosophy behind managing and building a team. And so that that's that was a cool thing to bring up. I wouldn't have thought of that. I really wouldn't have. Okay, let's go to oh, LaShonda, you know how I like these name with health. Name with health. Okay, I'm going to witness this to you. This came up at the Cultivate conference that Fundraising Academy had in San Diego. And so this was a question that was brought to my co-host, Jared Ransom, who was there broadcasting and you actually were on the show two days in a row for that. And so this is the question. How important is it to have a college degree in order to be a fundraiser? I only have an AA from our local community college. And I'm concerned that this might make it tough for me to move forward in a nonprofit career. Let's say you, my friend. Well, first and foremost, I'm going to start with that second paragraph. I only have an AA. Shift your paradigm. You have an AA that is an accomplishment in itself. Yeah. And the fact and the fact that you're interested in entering the nonprofit sector, it creates opportunities for you because there is a desire in the nonprofit is sectors not for the fainted heart is for those that are very passionate about being able to make change within their said communities or the organizations in which they are most passionate about and want to be impactful in. What I will say is there are a variety of different types of organizations in different levels to enter fundraising. So for smaller nonprofits, they may not necessarily require a degree. And it creates an opportunity for you to learn in real time. And then it also depends on the type of role that you take. And when you're saying that you want to become a fundraiser, there are various ways that you can enter the field. For me, I was a volunteer for many years and I worked full time as an educator and working in the nonprofit space in a different manner. But before me, I came into full full time fundraising. It was a transition period. So I would say that it matters depending on the role that you like because some roles will specifically require that you have a degree. But to become a part of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, having a degree is not a requirement. It's an opportunity to link up with additional individuals and to find out more information about what some of those requirements are. You can receive some professional development. And then also, when you're looking at career opportunities, consider those kind of spaces in nonprofits that offer incentives and or scholarship opportunities for their employees. Because there are in some there's some spaces where they'll have tuition reimbursement to help you secure that degree. So I would say that you are off to a great start because you have an associate's degree. I would affiliate with a couple of fundraising professional organizations, secure some additional training, you know, watching the nonprofit show, going to the Fundraising Academy's portal to learn more about fundraising, and then identifying a space in which you can join immediately based on your current credentials that will offer you the opportunity and support you with growth in achieving and acquiring your graduate, I'm sorry, your undergraduate degree. But you're off to a great start. It starts with passion. Yeah, you know, it seems to me, and I, before we move on, it seems to me, I get a lot of job things that flow through, you know, my, my, my world, because I'm out and about, right? People are like, Hey, if you know anybody, hey, if you see this, you know, we're looking for that. And it always seems to me that they want somebody who's been in fundraising has a CFRE and they never really say what the undergrad piece of it is. But it's more the experience like it is more about the experience. I mean, you know, people enter fundraising from a variety of different sectors. And as you know, we're talking about in the green room with Paula Harris, who's now the executive director of the Astros Foundation. She's an engineer by trade with over 30 years of experience. And obviously, there's a philanthropic and foundation arm within that organization, which she worked full time. However, it was a transition into that philanthropic space.   And now he's the vice president of development. So it does not matter where you begin. It just makes make sure that you remain committed and passionate about the cause and about what you're doing in the philanthropic space and the opportunities will come forward. Yeah, I love I love that. I think it's it's I love what you said to you know, it's about the passion. And I think you in so many ways, one of the things I've learned from you all at fundraising Academy is that there is a process, right? And that can be learned. But it's the passion piece. That's the passion that resonates.  When engaging with donors, you know, individually and building the relationship on behalf of your organization, they can feel and they're very perceptive and our donors are becoming more and more sophisticated.  And so it's important that when you're aligning and identifying where you'd like to work that you believe in the mission, and that it resonates through and all that you do in that space, because it's easily conveyed over to your prospective donors. I agree, I agree. And I also just think was Shonda, it's a good way to live. So, okay, here goes our next question. Again, another name with help from Tampa, Florida. I want to put my name in the hat for position on the board of directors for the organization where I work. I think the board is not connected enough to what we actually do. And I believe by serving on the board, I can help with the whole process. Interesting question. Very interesting. Very specific answer for this. So you go first. Okay. So I'm, you know, I'm a stickler for processes and procedures, first and foremost, from an ethical standpoint, you need to make sure that you're eligible to be a part of the board, because there are some instances and roles which, which preclude you from becoming a part of the board. So that's step one. Step two, when you're thinking about joining the board, you want to make sure that you're joining for the right reasons. And with that in mind, you know, making sure that obviously you're joining for the right reasons. And then also thinking about what type of impact you want to make. And are there any potential conflicts of interest? So even if you are eligible to be on the board, what types of conflicts of interest could potentially happen? And I can recall, in my career, when I worked at my alma mater, I was the the president of the local alumni chapter. And when I accepted the position full time to join my institution, I, I resigned that position, because I did not want there to be any impropriety. And I wanted to make sure that there were clear lines that when I'm acting on behalf of the organization, that I'm in that official capacity. And you want to be able to differentiate that it's really important. Joining the board of directors to, to create and be a part of the change that you'd like to see is great, but you also have to self examine. And that is, are you mentally prepared? Are you physically prepared? What is going to be your approach? Because this is a different type of relationship that you'll be transitioning into because the board is no longer the board that is managing you, but you become a part of the board that helps govern the organization. So that to me is a very slippery slope and, and there are some potential ethical issues that may come up. So I would probably rethink that name with held and try to work with your board. And it sounds like your board may need some training and making sure you're effectively conveying what the mission goals and objectives are, having a wonderful strategic planning retreat to help guide the conversation and making sure that everyone is aware of what their roles and responsibilities are. And you know, have really meaningful conversations on where the organization is and where you all would like it to go as a team. Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, for me, this is like an absolute not an option. However, I do think what is an option is maybe finding out if there's some committees that you can sit on because there that's enough of an arms length. And then I also believe in it and seeing if you can't attend the meetings so that you can understand what's going on. And then even more importantly during the meetings that board members can engage with you or ask questions or learn who you are, I think it's a big, big problem for organizations that don't bring staffed folks into the meetings. Whether they never say a thing or they just sit, you know, on a back row, whatever. And that doesn't mean they have to go to every meeting, but I think they need to see what goes on and how it's hard and what people with the board thinks about and how they behave and all of these things. So, you know, I think it's, I love what you said LaShonda, I think it's very, it's a anybody joining a board should really take into consideration all those things that you said, not just this one person, because I mean what you said is foundational to, I think, good leadership. So, you know, name with help, sorry to get you to be Nancy negative, but I just don't think it's the right direction. So, okay. But yeah, it was an interesting question. It was an interesting question. Very. Shandra from New Orleans. I will be going on maternity leave and have a team member who will be taking over my donor portfolio. How do we make sure that any donations that come in while I'm off get credited to my work and not to the temp development team member working on my donors? We've never had this question. This is very interesting. This is another great question, Julia. So, Shandra, so again, it depends on your org structure. I go to policy, I go to procedure in the development environments that I've worked in. If you were the lead on the solicitations, you had some major interest in the prospect, then you would receive credit and or shared credit.  And I'm confident that your supervisor is very cognitive and aware of, you know, based on your contact reports, where you are within that donor cycle or within managing the various prospects that you have in your portfolio. So, what I would do for peace of mind is, you know, to provide an update on all of the prospects, you know, where they are as it relates to moves management or in the fundraising cycle and then provide some specific tips for the person that'll take over during your transition and have a really meaningful conversation with your supervisor about your concerns, because it's really important in the fundraising space that we operate with trust and with high ethical standards and trust is built through relationships and effective communication. So, those are the tips that I would offer you, but I would be very, I just would not think that the template received total credit for any gifts secured in your absence, you know, best case scenario is you receive total credit. Worst case scenario is that it's a shared credit. Yeah, it's really interesting. I mean, it seems to me, when I read this question, it seems to me that there are like other issues within this development team. Definitely some trust issues. Yeah, you know, that they're all like trying to make their quotas and the stress of that. And yeah, going on maternity leave is no fun just because of the stress aspect of trying to figure out how your life is going to change, how the organization is going to change with you, without you.  And I just think it's healthy what you said, LaShonda, about hello, you need to keep that portfolio data system up to date. Exactly, those contact reports let everyone know where you are with all of your prospects in real time.   And you've done the work. So I'm confident that you'll receive credit. But effective communication is key and start speaking with your colleague, your supervisor. Yeah, I mean, especially in the context of just the stress and the relationship and the cultivation of that. Because if you're working with donors, I would imagine a lot of them would be interested that you've gone on maternity leave or that you absolutely, you know, and you know, I've had individuals that have left for, you know, medical reasons short term and they'll send out a lovely note to let them know, you know, who will be your point of contact during that transition period. And they will ask for you. And, you know, there have been instances where I've been out and, you know, individuals with secured gifts from donors and they'll say, I want to make sure LaShonda gets the credit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. That's a good thing. You know, I don't think oftentimes donors realize how house, I would say put upon, but how the structure works and how stressful it is for fundraisers to meet their goal, that they do have goals and that they do have these tracking mechanisms.  It's a hard thing and it is a profession. So therefore, you know, there are these structures. Well, LaShonda Williams, it's always a delight to have you on, to be talking with you, to get your perspective. This was a fun week for me because we actually had you on twice and two completely different roles. And so that was, that's been a lot of fun because we got to know you even more and learn about how your amazing brain works and how you look at things. I will never forget your tip about being that person on day one, submitting their vacation. Yes. The early bird gets the worm, but, you know, we want to be equitable.  But there are some days like, you know, Memorial holiday that I may say, I'm going to need that one because I'll be here for Thanksgiving and Christmas until the end. And, you know, exactly, and, you know, not oftentimes take an extended holiday coming back from the new year in lieu of leaving early. Yeah, that's smart. Yeah, that's interesting. Well, LaShonda Williams, trainer, Fundraisingacademy, fundraising-academy.org, check them out. We have a really interesting week next week. We're going to be working with Fundraising Academy for the entire week. It is going to be amazing. And we're going to be going through this cycle that they talk about, the fund raising or cause selling cycle. And so often we talk about this, but we haven't been able to come back and do, like, a full week of how this methodology works that I think is just magical.  So make sure you join us for that because it's going to be, like, going to San Diego and learning from the master. So I think you'll really enjoy it. Again, we are blessed to have these amazing presenting sponsors and they include our friends at Bloomerang, American Nonprofit Academy, Your Part-Time Controller, Nonprofit Thought Leader, Fundraising Academy at National University, Staffing Boutique, Nonprofit Nerd and Nonprofit Tech Talk. These are the folks that join us day in and day out. Hey, my friend, I hope you have a great and restful weekend. We will see you soon, huh? Next week. Have a great weekend. Thank you so much. Hey, everybody. As we like to end every episode of the Nonprofit Show, we want to leave you with this reminder and that is to stay well so you can do well. See you back here next week. Thank you.
