All right, separatrators, good afternoon. And to close out our week this Friday, July 22nd, shortly after 2.30 PM Eastern time, welcome on back here for our afternoon meeting. Great to see Norman still with us, perhaps. Great to see Robert still with us, perhaps. Great to see Kathleen from before, and Nina as well joining us. Perhaps a lighter crowd here heading into a Friday in the middle of the summer, end of July, perhaps, right? Great to see Michael, perhaps he's back to have some fun here with us in the market. Great to see all of us back on social media, Facebook, and YouTube, though, with that in mind. Markets have been steadily dropping off, at least heading into the afternoon from the mid-morning. So we've been following that. A couple of stocks is a good short. But otherwise, a really good Friday, though, really, like from pre-market to right now, there has been pretty much something for any one of us to get our hands on. So it's been a surprisingly good Friday. Hey, you snooze, you lose, right? So that's where it always pays to be at your desk. Some days are typically better to take off. Today, being one of them normally, but for those that are here, was certainly has done us pretty nicely. So, TKLF right now, Norman had just called this one out right now, just calling out the pop-off 235. So hopefully, this has a lot more life left to it. It's already up 54%. It had a nice little push-up in the morning, but from there, it pulled back. So this is what you would call the second type of move, the second wind type of move, rather, I should say. We'll see if this could accelerate a little bit further. I don't mind at least putting this on the main list to begin. It's just tradable, right? So if it does pull back, perhaps I'll just take it off. But for right now, I like this volume spike, the pop-off for 235. So let's see if this can make the stronger move at least up towards 250. It's got to do that sooner than later. If it dies out from here, then, like I said, I'll just kind of scrap it off our list. All right, but from here, let's be efficient with time otherwise. Don't need to, but let's just go right from top to bottom. Any of the stocks and runners that we caught, they're already on the top of the gainers list anyway. We'll just go and recap them as we go through. So the PGY trade being one of them. Now this thing was so crazy for us back on Wednesday afternoon, ended up making a huge run up a lot higher than I thought it was gonna make at the time. Well, shoot, give me a quick sec. Same thing happened here as it happened earlier this morning with myself and Rich. So right over here, you'll take a quick look and you could see, well, yeah, it had a huge pop and run up back Wednesday heading into the afternoon. Well, before the market closed, this thing completely crapped out, ended up closing out if I'm not mistaken, like right around that 650 area, 660. So from there, I mean, hey, today, another big move, but the thing with this trade that is now more appealing is that it's breaking all-time highs. There's not much data to work off of historically, but it's to say, this stock easily is breaking all-time highs throughout the day. So for right now, I'll put this on our main list alongside the TKLF. The order book is, well, now it's thinning out a little bit, but before actually when it was running up, which is kind of opposite to say, but it was becoming a little more liquid over time, like as it was becoming a more volatile move. So now at this point, it's thinned out a bit more. I'd be really careful on this trade. I would like to say it has to break out of this kind of consolidation sooner than later. And then otherwise, perhaps we could see some more clear levels ahead. 13, there's only like 1,900, 2,000 shares sitting there on the ESC. So it's not really that big of a level. If anything, like 1310, there's a little bit more volume on the ESC sitting there. All right, HKD, is this a buyout? I don't know. Not a buyout.  Ended up running up from like 20 all the way up to 45. I'm just gonna flip this back to a daily chart. Obviously, you could tell it's my first look on this trade throughout the entire day. It's trading just over a million shares. It's up over 100% now. I'd rather trade PGY, right? So for right now, now I'll pass on this HKD. Hey, even from this morning, for those of us that missed out on PGY, you did really well on the other trades. The TKLF, the SDIG, APLD, we ended up trading the, which one, the PIK, just a moment ago. At least from earlier heading into the late morning, early afternoon, the PIK, another one, just at least that we were able to get our hands on. A lot more liquid of a stock. You could see just looking at level three on the far right side here. At least you're dealing with a more manageable spread. Easier to read, order book. Ended up making a nice little push from earlier today, the PIK. For right now, you would call this the second win type of move. Unless it was a lot closer to the highs at this point in the day, or as we jump over to the losers list, if it's a lot closer to the lows, heading into the afternoon, I'm not normally gonna be as vested in it, as interested in it. TBLT is warrants, would you look at that? I didn't realize that until right now. The more you know. TKLF is already on our list, so we have PGY and we have TKLF for those counting at home. We'll obviously post the full list as soon as we finish up this meeting. The TBLT trade, the regular equity TBLT. At this point now, it's not looking as good unless if something really big steps up on the bid, I do see about 11, 12,000 shares roughly sitting there at 741 right now. Is that enough? I don't know. This thing's traded 121 plus mil today. I would look for a bigger drop down closer towards seven at this point. The reason I say that is because I was looking for the bounce at least earlier off of the VWAP, which is right around like 785, 780-ish, didn't get it. Ended up taking a 5 cent loss at the time and then it tanked. So for what it's worth, we had our fun on this TBLT trade, not just from today, not just from yesterday, but beginning from Wednesday. Remember, this was a day over day over day run for as much as it's pumped up. We even called out the historical resistance earlier today in the trading room and I didn't expect it to hit. To be honest with you, I wasn't expecting it to hit, but you have to identify it and map it out and take it level by level. The more this pushed up, the more that became a reality. So that was roughly right around nine-ish and it ended up breaking up a little bit up towards 935, but if it's not gonna remain strong near those levels, if it's not gonna look to break higher, there's only one other way it's gonna go. So it's volatile enough and it is liquid enough looking at level three. It's a really good order book. So I don't mind at least putting this on our main list, the TBLT and hopes of another squeeze up. It's good enough, definitely tradable enough at this stage. If it does break lower here, just don't be surprised if it makes the move closer to seven. All right, let's see what else we got. Decent list here to begin. The TRHC trade, this thing was a chop, chop fest. Ended up making like a nice gradual run up across the day, but we're looking for a more volatile move, more of like a TBLT. You could see, aside from like the late morning, early afternoon pump that it had, it was really choppy across the morning and across the early to mid afternoon now. This is a nightmare off of five. So your hope here is to see this just blast five and become a lot faster of a trade. I know it's at the highs and again, it's liquid enough of an order book, but I don't like the way this is moving up and down. It's so rugged, right? I'll tell you, I don't have a need to put this on our main list. So I'm gonna put this on the side for right now. I'll come back to it at the end and we'll see what else is out there here. CYH, not a whole lot happening on this one. Markets are obviously down right now. So not a whole lot, I would assume name brand-wise that's up unless it's like coming off earnings or whatever, TRC, Tenant Healthcare. It's a little expensive, but I just want to check it out here. Not a whole lot happening. That might just about do it, folks, on the gainers list at least. Hey, unless if there's anything else looking good, we'll check out, I didn't mean to click this, MLTX. I meant to click on UNG, Natural Gas ETF. We've at least traded this in cold in the past, wanted to at least take a look, but obviously not looking great in direction. So let's hop over to loser's side right now. Let's see if there's any good shorts that can go with the market. I know UAL was down big yesterday, perhaps that's making a stronger drop off today. Snap obviously was the big loser from this morning here, so I'll jump to that first. Nice trend down right away from pre-market leading into the open. So you definitely look for that short. As soon as the market opened up, of course, it tanked. So you would want to see a nice pop-up at first, but it looks like it did that prior to the open and then it made its real snap afterwards right away. We typically wait the first three to five minutes, so unless if you were able to get in from pre-market, your next best bet, to be honest, would have been right off that 1080 level once it retraced back up heading into the mid-morning off 10, 10 a.m. It ended up rebounding up towards 1080-ish, ended up pulling back up towards the VWAP at the time and pulled right back down. It was a really, really good trade from there. I ended up just getting stopped-out break, even on a short from 10.05. I was looking for a quick move down to 10 from there. Didn't get it, it's all right. I'm not complaining. This is just a slow trade now here heading into the afternoon. So again, the hope is to see it really shake lower, but the stock has so much volume on the book, it's so liquid that it's really tough to expect that. You would want to see less volume on the book for a short. Should this look to break down below 10 and 9.95 there? And if anything, it has huge support at 9.90, a 436,000 share orders sitting there on the bid. So yeah, right now this snap trade I think is more exhausted at this point. Maybe unless if the markets fly and run completely up and there's massive short covering and that makes the dead cap bounce, but it's not worth your time right now. Please take my advice as of now on that. SIGA, another big loser from today. Great short from this morning. Michael, one of our longtime students had called it out and at that point I personally had missed it myself, but I should have been on top of this one a little bit more from pre-market. It's one that we've just had our eye on forever. So it could have been a great trade right away, right? From 14 all the way down to sub-12. So right now this trade's just flat for the afternoon. Again, not really worth watching at this stage. Peloton? On the other hand, direction-wise it looks pretty good. Nice downtrend at the lows. It's not too liquid like Snapchat where there's like 100,000 share orders every five cents. I don't mind it. I'll put this on our main list here, the Peloton short. Ron with UVXY. Yeah, that could be a good one too. I'm just really quickly looking at the chat board from a distance there. And yeah, UVXY could be a good one. Let me just finish up at the loser's side here. Just one last look. All right, so before we even jump to Ron's UVXY, which I very well will put on the list, let me just go through some stocks first. UAL, like the airlines, doesn't really seem that great in terms of direction. Pass on it. My NEO, which I'll be honest with you folks, it goes to show like, you know, you don't need to fall in love with the stock. I didn't really care about NEO at all the last couple of days actually. So, you know, ended up making for a great drop off. Of course on the days I don't prep for it, the thing makes a really good move. But for right now, it's a little slow, little flat giant support at 19. So if that breaks, perhaps we could follow that more as a short opportunity. You know, it's down over 7%, doesn't hurt us to put NEO on our main list. But let's see if there's anything else looking even better, more like a Peloton type of direction there. MGM, like Casino Stock, not really a whole lot going on there. Or Penn, what else we got? Just thinking name brand here. GM, Ford, Auto Stocks, not a whole lot happening there. Just looking at like expensive names like Wayfair maybe even. A little bit more direction, lower highs, perhaps ready for a lower low. Apple, obviously. I actually ended up shorting Apple earlier today. I was in discussion with one of our students and right from a huge, huge 296,000 share print, it failed to hold support at first. And then from there, once it retested that price, broke under it, led to a great short trade. It was right from 154. 50, 154.36, 154.53, one of those prices. Rob, Robert F. But nonetheless, that led to a nice drop at first. I got out at that point. It was small share position anyway. It's just too expensive. But if the markets drop off, perhaps that could lead to a nice, continued move. 154 also is a big support level from the last day or two. So just food for thought there, but I'm not gonna add Apple to our main list. Uber, nice drop from earlier today. Name brand. Pinterest dropped off with Snapchat earlier today. This one's a lot less liquid compared to Snapchat. So perhaps if there is still some downward momentum on Snapchat, maybe this even makes the better move. But again, I don't really have a great need to put this on our list just yet. Let's jump to AI from Norman, who says it may be a good short, and at least this looks a lot better in direction. Yeah, and order book looks good. So why not? Looks good AI. I like this call, Norman. UVXY from Ron. So going back to ETFs. Ah, if it was showing better direction. Yeah, once it does, I'm sure we'll call it out. So not a bad shout, right? But on days where there's even better direction in the market or perhaps rather with UVXY in particular, if there's better direction, I'd be more keen to put it on our list. So if there is better direction coming up, we'll call it out. TBLT took off. It bounced a little bit. Bounced a little bit. Started to bounce back up, up towards that 785-ish area. If you watch right now, it's at 779. So it's probably gonna be around in consolidation for a little while, at least at this point. So it started to make that bounce. It's already on our list, right? All right. Mara, sideless stock, not a whole lot happening here, but I am in on this on a small position right now. Basically break up a few cents now. I'm in from 42. All right. But it's been a good day, otherwise this trade does not do anything to me really, unless if it takes off, then all the more to it, right?  So not every day does it provide as good of an opportunity, surprisingly and refreshingly for a Friday. It's been one of those days. So, you know, nonetheless, if there's anything else out there, folks, definitely let me know. But I like this list here. We'll check out the TRHC trade to wrap up. That was on our, you know, sideless, so to say. Doesn't, you know, hurt us to put this back on the main list now. You don't have like 12, 13 stocks, like a traditional Josh Watch list here. So, you know, just be careful on this trade. You want to see this really blast over five because of how shaky this thing has been throughout the majority of the afternoon. So, you know, if it breaks over five and it's shaking around, then I wouldn't look, you know, unless if it really carries trend, I really wouldn't look for a whole lot. All right, folks. So aside from that, I will jump off the mic rich will be on from three to four. So with that, I will be in the chat from three to 330, but afterwards I'm going to be jumping out.

The final item of business is a member's business debate on motion 3472 in the name of Mariah McNair on Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. This debate will be concluded. Without any questions being put, I would ask those members who wish to speak in the debate to please press the request of speak buttons now. I call on Mariah McNair to open the debate. Miss McNair is joining us remotely. Up to seven minutes, please. Thank you, Presiding Officer. I apologise for not being physically in the chamber to leave this debate as I am currently self-isolating. It is a privilege to leave today's member's debate on Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. I would like to thank all colleagues who have decided to speak in support. I also thank the minister for what I am sure will be a welcome and thoughtful contribution. This month marks Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. We know that Ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer faced by women in the UK. According to local cancer research UK, there are around 7,400 new cases of Ovarian cancer each year. This number equates to approximately 20 diagnoses per day. The key symptoms of Ovarian cancer include persistent bloating, feeling through quickly, loss of appetite, pelvic or abdominal pain and urinary symptoms such as needing to urinate more frequently than usual. Other symptoms include unexplained weight loss, tiredness and changes to your bowel habits or symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, especially when it starts after the age of 50. Sadly, Ovarian cancer is often diagnosed too late. I can advise the Presiding Officer that I am very aware of the suffering that this horrible cancer causes. I will never forget the two women that I had the privilege to care for when I was part of the nursing team at the Samaritan of Scotland hospice in my constituency. The women were only in their late 20s and early 30s. They both sadly died of Ovarian cancer. It was so tragic to see these young women endure the misery that this cancer causes and the impact that it had on their families. A majority of women will be diagnosed when they notice symptoms typically when they visit their GP. A lot of symptoms can occur at every stage of the disease. They are nonspecific and can be hard to pinpoint. A woman's route to diagnosis is key to their survival. Like many cancers, the earlier Ovarian cancer is diagnosed, the better the survival route is. Put simply, the earlier, the better. The differences in survival rates between early and late diagnoses is substantial. Statistics show that around 93 per cent of women are diagnosed with Ovarian cancer at the early stage to five or five years or more compared to only 30 per cent of those diagnosed at stage four. In Scotland and the UK more widely, we have an exceptional NHS screening programme that has successfully helped to save many people's lives. However, that only covers three main types of cancers and overall 6 per cent of cancers diagnosed happen during this route. We need to consider what can be done that better enhances all the options that can see an even better approach. In leading this debate, I am highlighting the need for early diagnosis. I am also sharing the experience of my constituent, Denise Ripper, and her ideas of what can be done to improve diagnosis. On behalf of Denise, I want to raise her belief that there is scope for testing of CE125 in the detection screening of Ovarian cancer. This is something that Denise campaigned on for some time, previously raising a petition with her Parliament. Denise was back and forth to her doctor for six months with IVS symptoms in the centre for an ultrasound and an MRI. I was given the all-clear and advised that the mass found was likely to be a fibroid, but, due to her age, it was recommended for a hysterectomy. At Denise's pre-op, her oncologist noticed that her levels of CE125 were high during the blood test taken prior to this and informed her that this may be an indication of ovarian cancer. Denise had her hysterectomy and was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer. CE125 is a protein often found on the surface of ovarian cancer cells and some normal tissues room of ovarian cancer often have a high level of this protein in their blood. A small sample of blood is taken from your arm and sent to a lab where a simple test will measure the level of CE125 in your blood sample. In most healthy women, the level of CE125 is usually between 35 units per milliliter, but for some women to have a naturally high level of CE125 in their blood. The level of CE125 in your blood can rise for many reasons, including endometriosis, menstruation, ovarian cysts and sometimes ovarian cancer. That is one reason why it can't accurately be used as a sole screening test for ovarian cancer. However, we want to see its presence leading to better screening as a matter of course. If the level of CE125 in your blood is 35 units or higher, your GP should arrange for you to have an ultrasound scan of your tummy and pelvis. The ultrasound scan will create pictures of your ovaries so that they can be checked for anything unusual and will help your GP to gather more information. In some areas of the UK, a CE125 blood test and ultrasound scan will be ordered at the same time. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommended that women with symptoms of possible ovarian cancer be treated for CE125 in a primary care setting typically at their GP surgery. While the CE125 test has been studied in women in secondary cancer, the test hasn't fully been evaluated for women who have seen their GP with symptoms that could be ovarian cancer. Cancer Research conducted a study that looked at 50,000 women who had seen their GP and took the CE125 test. Research found that 10 per cent of women with a higher level of protein biomarker were diagnosed with ovarian cancer, making it a normal test 12 times more predictive than previous SMSs suggested. As well as helping to diagnose ovarian cancer, CE125 blood tests are sometimes used to monitor the treatment of ovarian cancer as well as other types of cancer such as fallopian or checking for signs of reoccurrence. The CE125 test should be routine. What has not been suggested here is that it should be the be-all and end-all. Instead, the yeast is asking that we consider part of the test and the routine screening for ovarian cancer. That would work alongside other screening methods often used to diagnose such as ultrasound and transvaginal scans. What is clear is that everything possible should be considered that has the potential to improve the detection of this horrible cancer. As I have said, I will never forget the misery inflicted on those young women and nurses at the end of life. We must pull out all the stops to increase awareness, have a step change in diagnosis and provide a gold standard in providing the necessary care for those with ovarian cancer. In concluding, I commend organisations such as Target Ovarian Cancer and many other campaigners and charities for their tireless efforts to raise awareness of ovarian cancer. I thank the other speakers for taking part in tonight's debate. I thank my constituent Glees for sharing her story and for her bravery and determination to secure improvements to the efforts to diagnose as early as possible in their foresave lives. I now call Jackie Dunbar to be followed by Sandy Schulhani, both of whom I am joining us remotely up to four minutes, please, Ms Dunbar. I also accept my apologies for not being in chamber this evening. I thank my colleague Mary McNair for bringing this important subject forward for members' debate today. Ovarian cancer is not my friend. I first met it back in August 1977, when I was nine years old. I didn't know where it was at the time, but I knew that it wasn't good. Mam and Dad sat me down to tell me that I would need to go and live with my granny and granda for three weeks, while Mam went into hospital to get a small black spot removed from her belly. I know now that the explanation wasn't very factual, but at nine years old, it's good enough for me to get a grasp of it. Mam had her operation on 16 August 1977, the day that Elvis Presley died. My sister still remembers this, as Mam was a huge fan of him, and it's always stuck in her mind. I came home after Mam got home from hospital to find Mam and Dad's bed in the living room, and I couldn't work out why. Mam was getting better, wasn't she? After all, she'd had the operation that she needed. Eight weeks after her operation, and 17 days after my 10th birthday, my Mam passed away, aged just 34 years to ovarian cancer. To know that ovarian cancer is not my friend. What do I know about it now? I know that ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal of female cancers. I know that it is most often diagnosed at a late stage. The symptoms are commonly experienced as a result of other conditions, but letting your doctor know how often your experience in symptoms is an important step in helping them to know when they should consider ovarian cancer as a possible cause. I know that when it is detected at an early stage, when the cancer remains confined to the ovary, up to 90 per cent of those diagnosed are likely to survive for more than five years. That compares to 17 per cent surviving five years or more when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. I also know that there is still no routine simple screening test to accurately detect ovarian cancer. Contrary to popular belief, cervical screening will not detect ovarian cancer. Although cervical screening is effective in early detection of cervical cancer, it is not a test for ovarian cancer. There have been no advances made in the last 40 years in the diagnosis or treatment of ovarian cancer. It is time that it got as much publicity as others. That is why I am telling my, but more importantly, my mum's story tonight. We need to have a consistent approach to testing. Why does it have to rely on doctors taking the decision on whether you fit the bill for testing? My sister used to get a CT125 blood test done routinely. I never have. Why? We both come from the same mother, but we have different doctors and different health authorities, and I urge the minister to look into this as a matter of urgency. I started off my speech tonight by saying that ovarian cancer is not my friend, and I am determined not to allow it to have the last say in my speech tonight. I dedicate this to my mum, Elizabeth Maidenbar, Ni Watt, wife to Jimmy and mum to Elaine, Andrew and Jacqueline, born on 10 May 1943 and died on 19 October 1977, aged just 34 years. You may be gone, mum, but you are definitely not forgotten. Thank you. I call Dr Gohani, a Sandish Gohani, to be followed by Evelyn Tweed, both of whom are joining us remotely. Dr Gohani is not yet with us, technology. Dr Gohani, up to four minutes please, thank you. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I wish to draw members' attention to my register of interest as a practicing NHS GP. I am not drawing this debate to a close, so it won't answer some of the questions that have come before me. The ovaries are two small organs, and they are each about the size and shape of an almond located in the lower area of the tummy, in the pelvis. However, as with most things in the body, it is not the size that matters. They produce the eggs that we need for babies. They also produce estrogen and progesterone, which is the female hormones, and they are very busy organs. A variant of cancer arises from the cells in and around the ovary and fallopian tubes. The cells tend to spread onto the surface of the tummy and the transparent tissue that surrounds the organs around the abdomen. They form lumps on the surface of the bowels, a fatty tissue that extends down the stomach, delivering the spleen, the lungs, and these lumps are metacities. They often produce excess fluid inside the tummy, and this causes significant bloating and other uncomfortable symptoms. This is what a patient of mine presented with when she came to surgery. A young woman in her 20s complaining of random bloating and feeling uncomfortable really quickly after eating, and these could be symptoms of anything, including IBS. Fortuitously, I had been reading about ovary and cancer that very morning, so that was the first thing that came to my mind, and I added a CA125 blood test to the checks, and unfortunately that came back very raised. You have all heard about CA125 from previous speakers, so I will not continue with that. When the test came back positive, I organised urgent ultrasound and referral to gynaecology. You might think that this was very fortunate that she has received a possible diagnosis after just one visit to the GP when most women had to present repeatedly, but that was not to be. She died because she put up with her symptoms for too long. The feeling of being full too quickly, loss of appetite, bloating, going to the toilet more tiredness, weight loss, change of bowel habits, all are ovarian cancer symptoms, and she felt embarrassed to seek help when the cancer had spread, and that is what caused her to die. Each year, we have heard 7,400 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the UK and 600 in Scotland, with a very difficult to detect cancer because of the vague symptoms. If you are worried, do not hesitate. If you have symptoms that I have spoken about, you need to go and see your GP, you need to ask for help, and please keep a symptom diary, because that is really helpful for me when I see it. We do not have a screening test for survival of cancer, but for women and people with the cervix, we do have a survival screening test for the human papillomavirus, the HPV virus. It is really important, as HPV causes 99% of all survival cancers, and 4 out of 5 Scots will have HPV at some point in their lives. With the screening and also with the smear test, it is something that we can check for. If you have not had your smear in the last five years, please book with your GP today. I digress from ovarian cancer, but as this is a women's health issue, I thought that I would take the opportunity as a doctor to encourage women to get their smears. Deputy Presiding Officer, in conclusion, it is very clear that early diagnosis and timely intervention leads to better outcomes and saves lives. If you have any new symptoms, if you are worried, then please do not delay. Please come forward. It could well save your life. Thank you. I now call Evelyn Tweed, who is joining us remotely, to be followed by Carol Mocken. We await Ms Tweed. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and thank you to my colleague Marie McNair for securing this important debate. Despite a welcome decree in its instance, 1 in 59 women in Scotland are still diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and there is a striking lack of awareness of this disease. That is why I would like to start by paying a warm and heartfelt tribute to Jenny Godly, who is currently undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer, whilst openly and admirably sharing her experiences on social media. Jenny has done a huge amount to raise awareness, as well as offering comfort to others. Jenny is an inspiration, and I wish her all the very best with her on-going treatment.  Symptoms can be complex and misdiagnosed, as other less serious conditions. Some of the symptoms have already been discussed this evening. In recent years, Scotland has led the UK in improving early diagnosis of ovarian cancer with the shortest diagnostic pathway, with the CA125 blood test and ultrasound carried out at the same time, but there is no one viable screening tool. We need to focus on finding an effective screening tool and raise further awareness of the disease, as the earlier the diagnosis, the better the prognosis. One person who knows the importance of early diagnosis is my Stirling constituent, Gillian McLaren. A keen netball player with an active lifestyle and healthy eating habits at the age of 33, Gillian felt at low risk from cancer. She visited doctors for over 18 months with bowel changes, exhaustion, nausea, pain and symptoms of urine infections. In early 2020, a blood test showed raised levels of CA125 and she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Gillian said, there is nothing that prepares you for the words that you have cancer. I was told in a very gentle and sensitive way, but it was still a shock. I had always hoped that one day I would have a family of my own. I was told I would lose my fertility during treatment. Cancer was threatening my life, but it was also taking away my choice to one day have children. That fertility loss felt like a death. At age 35, Gillian launched to raise awareness of the signs of ovarian cancer, especially in younger women, and to help other young people with the disease to feel less isolated. Gillian's advanced diagnosis was life-changing and affected her prognosis, but thankfully her surgery was a success and she is grateful to be in remission just now. In Gillian's own words, I believe that it is not that it is a silent killer. There is a lack of knowledge on what to look out for amongst public and health professionals. It is about adding up the various symptoms with a potential ovarian cancer diagnosis. It is really important to listen to women when they say they know their bodies. That should really be respected and heard. Crucially, Gillian says that if you or anyone you know is experiencing symptoms that are abnormal or unusual, head straight to your GP. Be as persistent with them as your symptoms are with you. I would like to thank Gillian and my colleague Jackie Dunbar for sharing their very personal experiences with us today. Only by continuing to have these very open public conversations can we work to raise awareness and tackle ovarian cancer together. I now call Karen Mocken to be followed by Gillian Mackay up to four minutes please. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I also thank Mini McNair for bringing this important debate to the chamber and for the contributions so far. I think that we can see how important, as everyone has just said, these debates are to talk about these issues in public forums. In the first instance, I recognise on behalf of Scottish Labour the importance of ovarian cancer awareness month marked here in March. That is a cancer impacting over 600 people in Scotland every year. It is important to be where we seek to raise awareness, as has been said. I would highlight the symptoms again, but I think that it has been covered very well by the previous members. The key fact is that it is important that women go and seek help. Should they have any of those symptoms and not feel that they are bothering any of the medics or the nursing staff, because I am sure that they would rather came forward and made sure that they were getting themselves checked. As the motion states, those symptoms usually occur frequently and defined as more than 12 times a month. It is important that they come forward. As with many symptoms, they are very common and can be caused by many conditions, but it is important to have them checked out by GBP. As we have learned more and more in recent years, the earlier an individual has their cancer of any sort diagnosed, the more likely they are to be treated and to recover. As mentioned in the motion, despite significant research efforts and trials, there is currently no screening available for ovarian cancer. However, I was very interested in the contributions because I am not overly familiar with that, and so I certainly will seek to find out a lot more about the points that Marie and others were making. In order to take more preventative measures to obtain quicker rates of detection and to deliver better levels of treatment, it is crucial that we invest further in research because knowledge is power, and the more we can understand the better chance we have of achieving ovarian cancer actions aims of making that a more survivable cancer. That is also why raising public awareness is so important when regular screening services do not exist, as with other potential cancers. It is vital that members of the public are encouraged to be conscientious to symptoms and to act accordingly and promptly to ensure that they are working in their own best interests. According to ovarian cancer action, although five-year survival rates for ovarian cancer are improving, other cancers such as breast cancer had better survival rates two generations ago than ovarian cancer does today. I thought that that was quite striking when you read that. That should be a concern to us all. It is a staggering truth, and it shows that, although we have made progress, there is still a long way to go to ensure that the better treatment, ideally personalised treatment and survival for women, happens. I once again, on behalf of Scottish Labour, recognise the significance of ovarian cancer awareness months and stress the importance of not stopping our efforts of raising awareness as we do so often in the chamber, but to regularly bring to the attention of our constituents the symptoms of the illnesses and that they are treatable when early detection progress has been made. That is testament to the work of campaigners and organisers who have done a significant amount of work to raise awareness of ovarian cancer, but we must not stop. We must keep making more progress, invest more in research and deliver early diagnosis and improved treatment. I now call Gillian Mackay, who will be the last speaker in the open debate. Up to four minutes, please, Ms Mackay. Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I thank Marie McNair for bringing the debate to the chamber today. As the motion states, ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer faced by people with ovaries in the UK. It is important that we highlight the symptoms and causes of cancer, so everyone knows what to look out for. This is particularly important for ovarian cancer, as we have already heard. Symptoms can be difficult to recognise, particularly in the early stages, because they are so often the same as symptoms of other conditions such as IBS. The earlier ovarian cancer is diagnosed, the better at the outcome. When diagnosed at its earliest stage, 98 per cent of people with ovarian cancer will survive their disease for one year or more, and 93 per cent will survive for five years or more. However, according to ovarian cancer action, 90 per cent of women and people with ovaries cannot identify the main symptoms. Cancer is a worrying subject and it can be difficult to talk about, but in order to raise awareness, we need to have those difficult conversations. If someone who knows experiences the symptoms of ovarian cancer, they may not identify them as signs of cancer, or they might be worried about going through GP when they are so busy. We all have a role to play in raising awareness of the symptoms and encouraging people to seek help when they are experiencing them. Starting a conversation with someone about cancer can seem daunting, but it may save a life. It is also important to raise awareness of risk factors so that people can determine their own level of risk. Between 5 per cent to 15 per cent of ovarian cancers are caused by an inherited gene, and if your mother or sister had ovarian cancer, you are around three times more at risk. The risk of ovarian cancer also increases with age, with most cases occurring in people with ovaries who are over 50 years of age. However, as we have heard from Jackie Dunbar this evening, it does not discriminate with age. Other risk factors include certain medical conditions such as endometriosis and hormonal factors such as starting your periods young or having a later menopause. I encourage anyone who has concerns to visit the NHS-informed website where more information about risk factors can be found. The Macmillan Cancer Support website can also offer helpful information and advice. It is worth noting that, unlike cervical bowel and breast cancer, there is still no reliable, effective screening method for ovarian cancer. That is why it is so important that people are aware of the signs and risk factors. GP practices are open and they are seen patients, so if you have persistent concerning symptoms, please do seek medical advice. Ovarian cancer action recommends that people with concerning symptoms keep a record of what they are experiencing and have their notes to hand when they speak to a doctor. As we have heard, the 62-day cancer referral standard is not currently being met with any health boards and performance against it has actually worsened since December 2020. It is concerning and obviously the pandemic has had an impact. Staff are working extremely hard to work through the backlog and we need to ensure that they have the support to continue to do so. I am aware that the Scottish Government has set out plans to address workforce issues in the national workforce strategy and NHS recovery plan, but we need to make sure that we retain staff across the NHS, particularly in nursing. We need to ensure that there is a joined-up integrated workforce so that we are not simply moving existing staff from one service to another. Given that this is ovarian cancer awareness month, I think that it is worth ending my speech by reiterating the main symptoms of ovarian cancer. They are increased abdominal size and persistent bloating, persistent pelvic and abdominal pain, difficulty eating and feeling full quickly or feeling nauseous. If you are experiencing these symptoms regularly, please make an appointment with your GP. Women's pain is not always taken seriously but you know your body better than anyone. If something does not feel right, seek help. I now call on Minister Marie Todd to respond on behalf of the Scottish Government. Up to seven minutes please. Thank you, Deputy Chief Presiding Officer. I want to thank Mary McNair for raising this motion in the chamber today and for my colleagues' important contributions. It is a brilliant opportunity to reflect on the work that we have achieved so far and where there are opportunities to improve. I have to particularly commend Jackie Dunbar's very moving child's eye view of the experience of her mum being diagnosed and dying so rapidly with ovarian cancer. It is vitally important that each and every one of us uses our life experience to improve the current treatments and work for our constituents nowadays. I am very grateful for that moving contribution. Unfortunately, ovarian cancer continues to be prevalent throughout Scotland and the rest of the UK, with about 600 women being diagnosed every year in Scotland. We know that the earlier that cancer is detected, the easier it is to treat and raising awareness of ovarian cancer and its common symptoms, which have been outlined by members, is absolutely crucial in detecting this cancer early. Particularly, as many have said, because the symptoms can be vague. The Scottish Government is committed to detecting and treating cancer as early as possible, and raising awareness of the symptoms of cancer, including ovarian cancer, is a focus of our £44 million detect cancer early programme. As services continue to recover from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, we recognise that our efforts in this area have never been more important. That is why we have committed an additional £20 million to our DCA programme as part of our NHS recovery plan, published in August 2021. That funding will enable us to provide even greater public awareness for the signs and symptoms of cancer, and it will support the development of optimal cancer pathways to improve earlier diagnosis rates. Traditionally focused on bowel, breast and lung cancers, other areas have more recently been added to the programme. We are currently working on a number of awareness-raising initiatives through the programme, and that includes redesigning the DCA website, which is available at getcheckedearly.org. That will feature an updated version of our symptom checker tool, which is complete with links to relevant third sector organisations. The online checker tool was first launched in 2018 and includes symptoms of ovarian cancer. Additionally, research is currently being undertaken to better understand the possible barriers and levers to early diagnosis that any new DCA campaign should focus on. Once those results are available, we will be seeking new solutions to improve access. We have also recently formed a new early cancer diagnosis programme board chaired by Catherine Calderwood, national clinical director at the Centre for Sustainable Delivery. That group will be responsible for shaping and supporting the delivery of Scotland's early diagnosis agenda over the coming years, including the development of any new and additional public awareness campaigns. Recognising the importance of primary care clinicians in finding cancer early, a clinical review of the Scottish referral guidelines for suspected cancer was completed and updated, and guidelines were launched in early 2019. Those included guidelines for suspected ovarian cancer. In terms of other engagement, we are in regular contact with target ovarian cancer as a valued member of the Scottish Cancer Coalition. I was very pleased to become a teal hero myself by participating in target ovarian cancer's event to promote ovarian cancer awareness month at the Scottish Parliament a few weeks ago. My officials and I continue to laze with the charity and its work to raise awareness of ovarian cancer. Over the course of the pandemic, we saw urgent suspicion of cancer referral rates fall below pre-COVID levels, in order to increase uptake. Public awareness campaigns and messaging have run throughout the pandemic to encourage people with possible cancer symptoms to seek help. I would absolutely encourage any individual who might be experiencing the common symptoms of ovarian cancer to present to their GP. Not only is it important for those to come forward with symptoms, but it is equally important to be aware of the risk factors in developing ovarian cancer. According to target ovarian cancer, two of the main risk factors include age and genetic factors. Age is the primary risk factor with an increased risk as a woman ages. The majority of diagnosis occur in women over the age of 50. Additionally, 15 to 20 per cent of cases are linked to mutated genes, primarily BRCA1 or BRCA2. There are some other risk factors such as being overweight, using HRT and having endometriosis, which can marginally increase an individual's risk. However, it is really important to note that those factors do not always result in developing cancer. More generally, women's health is a key priority for this Government, and that is why Scotland became the first country in the UK to publish a women's health plan. The plan was published last August, and it is an exciting step forward in our ambitious aim to raise awareness around women's health, improve access to health information and to services for women and girls, and to reduce inequalities in health outcomes for all women. The plan focuses on a specific set of priorities where there is particular evidence of inequalities and where women have told us improvements are needed, such as menstrual health, menopause and endometriosis care. Alongside our work, the Scottish Government works closely with a number of organisations to raise awareness of ovarian cancer, such as Target ovarian cancer and the Scottish Cancer Coalition, as previously mentioned. Our partners are key contributors in raising awareness and providing support for those suffering from or at risk of ovarian cancer, as well as providing assistance, education and information to those who need it most. The work that they do is absolutely invaluable, and I wanted to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank all those involved. I am very glad that Evelyn Tweed mentioned Janie Godley, who is currently undergoing treatment for stage 3 ovarian cancer. In sharing her experience, even at this really tough time for her and her family, she is doing a power of good for raising awareness of this devastating condition. As Public Health Minister, I am very grateful for that, and I am sure that all of us in the chamber wish her well in her recovery. It is appropriate to acknowledge the continued hard work of our health workers who, in the face of a pandemic, have continued to provide high-quality care and support to all those people who have a suspicion of cancer. As we have heard this evening, the Scottish Government, along with all of us here, is absolutely committed to increasing awareness of ovarian cancer and improving cancer patients' experience and outcomes. I want to thank all of our partners that help us in achieving those goals. We will continue to work together and to further improve our services and awareness.


Wacen-Wadeham. Last episode of Wheel of 2K may have been one of the clutches dubs that I have secured in the Wheel of 2K series. Everybody doubted the Wacen-Wadeham jersey. Everyone said Wacen-Wadeham. Everyone said Jason Tatum potential fraud inbound. But guess what? He clutched up. Because with our new squad with James Harden, Galaxy Opleonis, Robert Horry, and all the rest of the guys we're used to seeing, we were able to clutch up a very close game. A game that we were down at most by 10 at one point. We come out with a 4-point victory in the fourth quarter. Superheater, make sure to check it out if you haven't. Now with that being said, I think my goal for today's episode is to replace this map's Borbyngas. We can do better than that. In fact, he might even have a Galaxy Opera Dark Matter. Either way, we're one game away as well from Invincible Yanis, which is like the craziest difference ever. It's only technically one overall in 2K better, but it's not. It's like 35 overalls better.  These aren't even close to the same card. Also moving Batum to the 12. We'll keep Osman in there. You know, you gotta have a little bit of Turkey in the squad. But Ory's the 11th man and Batum the 12th man. So if anybody gets really tired, we'll have some options. And in Season 2 of Wheel of 2K, we're 5-2. In 7 games, we won 5. Very proud of us. We are playing some really good 2K this season. I had some bad games in there, but plain well.  That is my number one goal. We'll see how it goes. And the rest is up there. We'll see what happens. No matter how it happens, we have to find a way to get a Dark Matter Center on this wheel spin. So let's see if that is possible. That is insane. Jet Pop with 6-7 plus. You know, I think the centers are gonna be 6-7 plus. We go for anybody. I go for Bel Russell Invincible right here if I wanted to. Dude, and I'm in a Celtics jersey. Let's bid on him. Did I just win that? Shit, I didn't think I'd win it. I thought I'd beat him. Did it take Hakim out now? I have a feeling that Bel Russell is probably better than Hakim. He's only 6-10 though. I did not realize he was that. I don't like this decision anymore, but I did. I already bought him. So I'm sending it.  Better block, steel, perimeter, and interior. Better rebounding. Dude, I'm not messing with the sauce. This starting lineup is the sauce right now. Maybe not James Harden. I don't know if he's the sauce yet. But Kobe Jordan, Karim Hakim is the sauce. Let me see who else I could... Oh, there was a dark matter poisoning. I just bid on it because it was right there. It was right in front of me and I just... I couldn't stop myself. But that's okay.  Of course we got the challenge wheel. This challenge wheel got us Robert Ori last episode. So we know we're going to want to get it. I think I'm ready to play. Oh, this is a tough one and we haven't gotten it yet. Five green beans. I think out of this whole season, I've only done this in one game. There was one game where I was just lighting them off though. Alright, we need five greens. We got to average one a quarter and then one quarter we need two. We just got to take high percentage looks. Oh, what does he got? Oh my god, poverty team. Wait, that might scare me even more. You go first screen and roll here. Who's open? Somebody's got to be open. Hey, good defense, Hakim. That's what I mean, bro. I'm not taking out Hakim unless I have to. Alexiopo, Luka, working on. That's what I get for playing off ball. I deserve this. No. Good defense. Oh my god, Hakim just bully them. And Kobe and Doug was nasty. You know, I think a good way to get greens is in transition.  Oh my god, Hakim on LeBron. Turn around, turn around green. Oh, I really thought I could have gotten it there. Stop mid range green. Oh my gosh. I didn't green that. Hey, good shot, Jordan, but I got to green that. Does he go up to Luka? He doesn't. That is not going to go, dude. We are the steel curtain down low. Let's take this midi. That shot meter changed mid shot. Kobe on Embiid, I don't like that. And Durant's going to pull a very open one. Let's just take a bucket. Nothing fancy, just a bucket.   Oh, Jordan transition pull up three. Oh, it's such a good shot he drills it. No greening. Let's go get 10 with the honest, that's a bucket. That's a honest bucket. It's not. It was a prank, you guys. Skip Bill Russell bucket on Durant. Come on, this has to be free. Bill, Bill just pull it. I think I might have had like almost five last game, dude. Maybe I just play basketball, dude. I'm thinking too hard. What just happened? That's a horrible shot, but... Dude, when I try for my challenge, I'm just poverty. You guys start doing step backs, bro. I see people green step backs all the time. Just run down here and get open on a step. That is certainly not green. Good defense, good late close out. heroes, heroes are pretty open. Oh, a second, I got some catching up to do, but that's one right there. He might get one of his own. No, he's not. He's antsy, he's scared to shoot. Kid, can't get a decent... Damn it, I have to put it out. Batum, green ants! He's got eight minutes, I think, in the rotation. You're not scoring on Karim down there, I'm sorry. That's two, wait. One more to Batum. Batum, get another one! Oh, beautiful, shot drills it.  Good deed, no, that's good deed. That's a late close up, it's good. Just take the good shot that is Karim on melee.  Greenness, greenness Ori, yes. Ooh, wait, what? Seven point game for us though, so I'm not concerned. Falling to screen, but there ain't, oh, he's blind. Batum, I'm there, I'm there. Oh, good job. Kobe, do it! Hey, three greens in the second place. Let's go, Kobe, good defense. Oh my god, D-Rose, his body. He's gotta be pissed about that one, front of him. Yes, sir, he's wide. He's not green, and he missed it too. No, I was going, holy rip.  He's gonna click. Make a defensive adjustment, no quit. Tied up in the first, 19 to six in the second. Nicholas Batum has 11 now. By the way, this entire quarter has gone without a stoppage of play, which is insane. No fouls, no timeouts, nothing, and damn. Turn around, green. Oh, James and Doug Novitski and Dean Wade all put into one player. What is his, is his? I almost just said X factor, I'm thinking Madden. I think that's like lockdown, like lockdown defender, maybe? He has no clue what to do. Yeah, he's probably not an offensive one, but whatever. Pull up, oh, that's the fifth.  Who are you? Rose, Rose, I'm gonna yam on you too. He's gone, Nicholas Batum, right square, Batum a little single-handedly.  To think I only gave this man eight minutes. He's earned a spot, dude. So the only problem out of right square there, we can't get a honest upgrade because I didn't, I wasn't able to get any points with the honest. I don't think anything even came in the game. Batum is officially in for Larry Bird. Larry Bird will take the last minutes and if I go to coaching, we have to ensure that Batum is getting good minutes. Batum's gonna get 20, Curry 12, D-Rose 18, Robert Orree seven, Larry Bird seven. Bill Russell didn't do much. I still don't know if he's good or not. I kind of have a feeling he's not good. Like I feel like even though his stats are amazing, and yeah, it'll be nice to be able to shoot threes and mid-ranges with him, they're like height and weight are really important. So that was probably a bad call, but honestly, we have Nicholas Batum, so who cares? Like six foot eight, two, 30 at small four, bro.   So yeah, I'm starting to think that Bill Russell was a bad call, but you know what? He would be good for, he'd be a good power forward. So if I move Bill Russell to power forward and then I get another center, then it'll probably be good off the bench. And then Yanis will be my three, Jordan will come off the bench for probably Steph Curry. Everything is gonna work itself out. I gotta get Nicholas Batum jerseys. Did they even sell those? He didn't always play. Didn't he used to play for the Blazers?   I just don't like that team at all. Throwback Blazers Batum jersey. You know what? I should probably close out this season first. We are, we're now six and two. So truthfully answering five questions is off the table. Massive W right there. Got him to range quick. Damn near single-handedly with Nicholas Batum. We're having an awesome season so far.  Hey, that's it for another absolute banging episode. Episode eight in the books. I'll see you in episode nine baby. Shmoney time. Let's go. Hey, love you boys. Peace.


Before starting to play and to build a Bluetooth low-energy application on the WBA55 Nuclear Board, let's take the opportunity to have a look about the product capabilities, the main asset and the associated ecosystem. So in this section, we'll go through the main product capabilities. So first of all, the Bluetooth low-energy features, the power and radio performances of the product, the extensive security feature set inherited from the powerful STM32 U5 series, as well as some hardware consideration demonstrating the boom flexibility and efficiency and of course going through the ecosystem which is there to leverage your software and hardware design. So first of all, let's have a look about the product ID card and the associated Bluetooth low-energy features. First of all, we are dealing here with a series, the STM32 WA5X series. The focus of the end zone and playing session will be based on the STM32 WA5 series, a chipset series which is SEMPS-based, which is power efficiency oriented. In the meantime, there is existing the STM32 WA52, which is LDO-based, which is a trade-off between power efficiency versus boom efficiency. Product are system-on-ship based on the single core M33 where you will run your application and the Bluetooth low-energy stack. The BLE stack is compliant to Bluetooth low-energy 5.4. So that means the product has been qualified, Bluetooth low-energy 5.4. On top of BLE, the product is capable to support other protocols such as ZigBee, Thread. Device is getting quite outstanding output power up to 10 dBm and some very good and aggressive figures in terms of power efficiency, 5.4 mA at 0 dBm typically. But we'll see later on in coming slides the result considering this in an overall use case. So device is targeting BLE, we are compliant 5.4, but we are supporting as well other protocol. Device is indeed certified 5.3, but features are, but device is full feature of 5.3. So this is always a trade-off and compromise in BLE landscape. You will get some chipset which are compliant to specification and so certified to the 5.4 while they are supporting only some feature of 5.3. House, STM32WBA, support the full feature of 5.3. So that means on top of the legacy 1 mA, we are supporting first long-range Coded Fee in order to increase the range. We are supporting the advertising extension feature with as well the periodic advertising. Device is capable to support the new coming audio use cases such as AuraCast and so we are supporting at stack level and at silicon level the Osochronous Channel. Of course our device is capable to work as a master and slave in the same time being able to sustain up to 20 link in the same time. And of course we are supporting some more let's say with an exotic feature from the BLE such as the gut caching and the power control which is quite a nice and efficient feature that allows to reduce dynamically the output power versus the quality link and so at the end it's a compromise to get a very good power efficiency. And of course our stack is always under let's say improvement on top of maturity we are adding features. New one coming will be periodic advertising with response that should let's say allow to cut the market of electronic shift level. For the one being in the past playing with our first BLE STM32, the STM32WB just a bit of word about the BLE API. Of course the STM32WB is a dual core. The STM32WBA is a single core with a new RFIP so an improvement of the existing WB. Both devices are so based on a differently clear. But at all stack level, at all BLE stack level the stack is the same. Of course the one on the WBA is getting more featured. But at the end the software API remains the same. So migrating from one to another one it's pretty efficient and flexible. So if you want to start from the dual core and migrate to the single core from BLE software application it's pretty efficient because the software API are almost the same. As we are dealing with a wireless product we have to consider two very strong features which are the radio performances and the power performances. First, RF performances. Our device STM32WBA45 is capable to get an output per up to 10 dBm. The RF sensitivity. The RF sensitivity is at minus 97 dBm at 1 Mbps. And so at the end this allows to get a quite outstanding dynamic range of 106 dB. So an overall budget link of 106 dB which is quite strong and that allows to get a very strong and robust connectivity. Now what I can achieve with 106 dB this is a good question and there is no magic answer. It really depends on the overall environment. So here I will really encourage you to go to the BLE web alliance website. Link is there. Open the Bluetooth range estimator tool. That will give you some, let's say, approximative range pending to your application constraints outdoor or indoor. And this is pretty nice in order to fill the things and to understand up to 10 dBm outdoor at 1 Mbps what is the range I can achieve. So RF performance is pretty aggressive with a budget link of 106 dB. This is maybe a chart you are familiar with if you are familiar with our STM32 product. As you can see our STM32 WBA5 X series and so the WBA55 is offering as well a wide range of power consumption scheme. And this is very efficient to really consume what application is really demanding. So for sure if you look at the chart and the figures extract from datasheet the STM32 WBA55 which is SMPS based will give some better performances. As we are dealing with Bluetooth low energies there is one key figures which is important. What is the sleep or let's say standby current that I am able to sustain while the RF operation is still ongoing? On WBA55 I would be able to sustain RF operation while my sleep current in between such RF operation will be 1.25 mAh. And so if we consider this standby current in an overall real application use case such as a beacon I would get some very quite good and aggressive figures. Let's consider a device which is advertising every 2 seconds 11 bytes at 0 dBm. In between those 2 seconds period I will so under into the standby mode at 1.25 mAh. In such use case my device will consume 5.5 mAh and so I will be able to get a beacon application running from years over basic salecon battery. So just keep in mind that on top of wide range of power scheme the standby current that allowed to sustain RF application is really key and efficient and at the end you will get very nice figures and being able to design peripheral application running on salecon battery for years. Okay power and RF which are some key features. The other key features of the STM32WBA series is the security features. Device has been built to design wireless application to design to build a secured application. Our product is so based on quite extensive functionality to protect your asset to protect your software IP to protect your hardware and at the end to protect your overall design. Device integrates the trustdom and we'll see later on which is a must to have and a key asset to be able to easily the secure part to the non-secure part. Some cryptographic accelerator in order to secure the link to secure your data. Active tamper with six active pairs of tamper pins to protect your hardware design and one of the most key element is the security assurance level. Our solution, our STM32WBA5 is CZIP level 335 and this is now not just a nice to have but will become almost a must to have looking at the ongoing and coming new regional certification. So our device has been certified CZIP level 3 and this is one of the strong feature of the product on top of the BLE capability. So it has been certified CZIP level 3 so this is mainly something that you will have to potentially reuse in front of certification lab but in regard of your application what you can do is our security built in let's say application. The trust zone, our device, our STM32WBA integrates the trust zone which is there to easily the trust to the untrust. Of course the RF stack will remain on the untrust part and you cannot move it to the trust part but you can easily move and put your code into the trust zone. How to do this? There is a dedicated wiki page where you will find a lot of input in order to be able to enable over STM32WBA or a BLE code example to trust zone. So already in phases how STM32 wiki page integrates a lot of input and part of it there is this powerful trust zone enabling over a BLE code example. Let's consider now some other features of the product more hardware oriented. First the flash access improvement. The STM32WBA integrates a flash manager in order to ensure synchronization between flash access request and RF activity. Access to the flash is always a constraint so let's say compromise when you have to deal with RF activity getting highest priority and your own application needs. Thanks to the flash manager your application just need to ask and request an access to the flash and the flash manager will give you access if there is no RF constraints on viewing. So this is efficient and transparent for your application. Just use it as it is and it will definitely ease your software design. Just a word in general and this was the case of our past series STM32WB time to erase a sector of 8 kilobytes is around 22 milliseconds and even more on some other competitors. Thanks to the flash technology integrated over the STM32WF5 time to erase is only 3.4 milliseconds. So at the end you can still for sure use the flash manager but we do not foresee any constraints in terms of flash application access and RF constraints and on top of the flash efficiency again the flash manager will ease the overall flash access synchronization and will ensure no RF links issue when your application will ask to erase a sector typically. So please use this flash manager in your application reuse our code example it will definitely ease and secure your application. Still on our side now let's have a look about the bomb cutter flexibility. Thanks to WBA5 series flexibility and integration you can reduce your overall PCB bomb. In first one of the critical pass and important parameter when dealing with RF devices is the filtering and matching. The WBA5x integrates a balloon offering at the end a single-ended RF output so you reduce the bomb. It also required a very limited number of matching and filtering components to ensure optimum performances but this will be detailed later on in the journey and you will see that you can still even improve. The STM32WBA series also includes HAC internal programmable capacitance so that's a low first during design phase to ease the overall HAC centering so the HAC which is needed to get and to make RF so it will allow and ease the HAC centering and tuning and of course as we are dealing with software load cap it will allow to reduce the bomb without the need to put some physical external load caps but again this is something that will be and phases and details in the hardware chapter. Another quite good important feature in regard of bomb cutter is the number of limited decoupling caps required. The number of decoupling caps required is also very limited making STM32WBA very efficient in terms of size and bomb. For example with the STM32WBA55 in QFN package it will just require 100 nanofarad for each supply pin so typical sticks and 3 bigger values so 4.7 micro farad on dedicated supply chain so at the end few decoupling caps again reducing the overall bomb. Finally the STM32WBA is providing a lot of flexibility so thanks to large package scalability but as well to the flexibility pending to your real focus power versus bomb you can use an external STM32K or use the internal one, the LSE as on phases at the beginning you can use a variant with SNPS if you want to achieve power efficiency or the LDU base and of course the device integrates a lot of peripherals. Ecosystem and we'll conclude with this as you know the STM32Ecosystem is quite strong powerful in order to design and this ecosystem has been enriched in order to design an RF application so first of all I assume you are all familiar with the powerful STM32Ecosystem the Qubemix that allow in few clicks to make the pinning and to enable and draft the initial skeleton code the QubedID to build and compile your application and the QubedProgramming on top of those ecosystem and we'll play with this ecosystem later on in the journey some dedicated tool has been enabled the Qubemix or RF which is here for hardware guys in order to make in few clicks some tests in order to check if the matching is a good one if the output power is a good one some nice and very good application at smartphone and now the capability to be able to do some air trace over the air so first of all the STM32Q monitor RF which is a nice tool that you just plug to your board or to your PCB over your art and that allow to directly send some command from your PC to your device so that allow to emulate some Bluetooth low energy application from your laptop so first it's really educative because you can play with the API without building, compiling, testing you just open the tool, test it, send the command and see how the device react so this is more than useful during design to understand the BLE features but for hardware guys to start to make some initial tests to understand if the PCB is behaving as expected in terms of sensitivity and in terms of power efficiency some smartphone apps which are more than useful and will play with so first of all the ST2 box which is a debug app and ok I will not comment here we will play with later on but this is something that is more than useful and allow to display all device around data coming allow to connect to ST device to enable the bonding to make some data rate test to enable the thermal grid over the air and we have as well some custom app which are more considered as demo app ok with some nice logo display in your cube moving and so on some temperature and so on typically this one might be a good starting point for you to start your own design because this one is available as Android and iOS in source code a new tool which has been let's say in the past months and which is available as well on the STM32 wiki page is the BLE sniffer this sniffer is based on the formal and old STM32WU55 which is a dual core solution that allow with specific firmware to make some air logs using Wireshark plugin you just need to get an STM32WU55 board for the link go to STM32 MC wiki page look at BLE sniffer you will find all the right instructions step by step to guide you to install first the Wireshark plugin and then to start to play and to see air logs and being able to debug some BLE communication ok what to keep in mind so first our STM32WU55 is full feature of BLE 5.3 is getting some very efficient power consumption especially when the BLE Bluetooth application is running some security add-on which is no more a nice to have but will become a must to have so trust on and the secure CCIP level 3 certification and then of course on top the whole ecosystem that will play with in the coming session in order to build a basic application but just before playing just remaining 5-10 minutes with my colleague Sébastien that will show you the way you can evaluate start to prototype your own application based on STM32WU55


So you got yourself an Elementor and WordPress website now. Let's protect it. What's up everyone? I'm Jeff from Lightbox and in this video I'm going to show you three really easy and fast things that you could do for your WordPress website to fully Protect it have a lockdown and make sure nothing bad happens to it now real quick scary fact There are these little evil things called bots.  I mean, that's how they work And if you aren't like really monitoring it and doing deep dives on a regular basis You might have already been hacked and don't even know it and usually it's when a client or customer calls and Says, hey, I think you've been hacked which is kind of embarrassing The thing is that's how most hacks work They don't want you to know that you've been hacked that way they can stay in there and do whatever it is They're trying to do but there are ways to prevent this from happening to protect your website And they're actually very easy. I got three things that I use and I use these on all of our websites all the websites We built all the websites we managed I'm going to show you what I use and we'll be used over here a light box for all of our websites And it's actually very easy. They're all free to use and it probably is only going to take a couple minutes tops to set up So let's go ahead and get started Real quick. All right, we're going to add a few plugins here So start off by going over to your plugins select on add new From here, we're going to search for word fence and that is the big dog right there That is the one we want to start off with in fact with word fence You're good to go pretty much. This is pretty much all you need now You got a lot of other security plugins used the reason why I go for word fence is because it's got a powerful firewall Very few of the other plugins have this firewall has a malware malware scan It's really easy to set up It doesn't plaster your your website with all those ads like by the premium version like some Plugins like some free plug is due. Yo, you know It's really simple to use and easy to set up. So let me go ahead and show you that real quick select click on install Select on activate and once it's been activated You're going to get a prompt like this and this is really important to put your main email What I like about this is anytime anything happens fishy with my website. I get notified by it So you always know what's going on I'm going to go ahead and use one of my emails right here and Just go ahead and select on this and we're going to choose. No, I don't want to get email alerts And you do have an option for a premium key. I'm going to be honest I really feel that the free version is good enough for a majority websites I think that's what makes war friends so amazing. Of course when you Start to get, you know, build your website up to to like a higher level That's getting a lot more sales and that, you know You want to get more of those features in it's good But out the box the free version is incredible and yeah, see you can see right here We don't have all kinds of ads. This will tell you Right here what's going on, but that's about it a lot of free plugins like Yoast and those ones They're terrible because they'll plaster your back in with all kinds of ads all kinds of notifications notifications that are super annoying this one right here you get an option to keep it updated automatically I do yes on this one. Normally. I don't do automatic updates, but for Wordfence, I do keep it up today. I've never had a problem. So to get started go back to your dashboard You walk through The setup wizard right here to show you a bit about it up here on the top You're going to see this notification. So this is where we want to start to set up Click on there to configure and this is going to be setting up your firewall that firewall is so important to have Alright, let's go ahead and continue and That is it right there and you can see right now to start off. You're in learning mode. So Wordfence is learning the website right here They could go ahead and click on these to go ahead and optimize a firewall a little bit better Let's download this file They want you to download a backup file This is all good to go. Just select on continue And that is it give it a give it about a day and you're going to see these numbers go up because right now it's setting Itself up. It's in learning mode So with this right here, you're pretty much good to go like that is it your website is secure You got the firewall set up. You got your email notifications coming in in case of something is going on if if you got like boss are trying to constantly come into your website, they're going to get blocked and Wordfence is just going to block them and they're going to notify you then they're going to put put a block on it And if by some chance Somebody does get into your website and they change a file. Maybe they insert some Virus and malicious code where fence is going to notify you on that it's going to let you know There's been a file change and it's going to let you delete it's going to let you restore the old file So you'll be able to clean up the hack if it was in there. It's amazing and it's free This is by far the best to start off with but there's a couple more things we could do to make it even more secure The next thing I'm going to show you is vital as well. So go back over to your plugins Let's select on new And right here, we still got the thing coming up for word friends It's doing its machine learning right now. So you can just click on dismiss. It's good to go. So from here type in WPS hide login and This is the plug-in. We're looking for WPS hide login. Go ahead and install that now what this does is all Wordpress websites by default in order to log into the back end is your domain so and so dot com slash Wp admin or slash Wp login and that's how you get back to your back end to log into your website The thing is all hackers know that their boss that they create are Constantly trying to hack your website by using the WP admin or the slash login So we need to change that because once you change that you're going to throw off half the bots out there They're trying to attack your website because these things they they know they know that they just need to do the slash Wp admin and then they'll keep trying to hit passwords and keep trying to figure out your passwords So we're going to completely divert them with this plug-in also free Super easy to set up. So just select on activate right here. Let's get it going And you could go here to your settings So what this does is it actually takes me back to my general settings right down here underneath settings But down here at the bottom. We have a new option right here. That's the URL login And this is where we could change it all you got to do is change this one right here You could put in whatever you want to give you that access to the back end and we're just going to say Goodbye hackers All right, and make sure you also copy that down and keep it back up on that hit save change and that's it so Now if I want to log into my website, I would put in so-and-so Com slash whatever I put in there, which was good by hackers pull whatever you wanted there That is going to divert at least 50% of the bots trying to get into your website one more thing to do go back to your plugins select on add new and Let's just go ahead and put it on it And we're going to get a few options that come up right here And this is the one that I use WP activity login. Let's go ahead and install that By the way to one thing I look at whenever I use any kind of plug-in Just for reference I look at of course how many active installs and I also look at the ratings But one thing I look at to is last updated This is really important because we want to make sure we only use plugins that are have an active development team behind it Keeping it up to date and secure. Let's go ahead and activate this now What activity log does is it logs every single activity that happens to your website anything that happens? It's going to let you know what's happened. All right, so let's go ahead and run the wizard on this one So start the wizard off and you might want the basic one not the geeky level You don't need that one. Let's if you want the geek level. I'm a geek. So I like geek stuff. All right No, we use okay This one is asking you if you use the default WP admin, but we just changed that so we do not use that No, we so we want to put yes, we use other pages to log into WordPress next Can visitors register? For ours. No now if you're going to have a WooCommerce website or a membership website, then you would select yes And how long do you want to keep your data pretty straightforward? Let's keep all data and That's it finish Now, let's say somebody logs into your website. Let's say somebody Tries to log into your website. Let's say this person is trying these pages that don't exist we can start to see that stuff so go over here to activity log and You're going to start to see every single action that happens on your website is here This is really helpful to whether you're a developer building a website for client You could also like see what's happening on the client side and if you're a client and you have a website and you want to see what your developers are doing on your website or Your shop managers or anybody that's on your website. You could also go back here and you could take a look and figure out What's happening on your website now there is the free version is great The premium version is going to help you out with filters will make the user ability a whole lot better on it But the free version for 99% of the time is good enough on this one thing I like about these three plugins right here. All three of them are very well built. They work great together They fully secure a website and the free versions are amazing. Of course the paid versions for WordFence and for WP activity log are going to give you more features But if you're starting off and this is for your own personal business website or you're building a site that's small or medium This is perfect. This is going to be your start right here. This is what we use on all of our websites Hope this video helps you out lock down your website secure it make sure nothing happens real quick bonus two more things I can't really show you because this is something you should contact your hosting about there are two things that you Should also have make sure you have an SSL certificate this is going to give you that extra layer of encryption if you see the the green little lock box by the URLs because there's an SSL and if you've ever gone to website and it says This site is not secure and gives you that big warning. That's probably because there is no SSL on there So make sure you got a SSL and make sure you have daily backups Contact your hosting and they should be able to set you up with those if you have decent hosting any decent hosting Offers those for free. So if your hosting doesn't have it you should probably looking to get another host I use cloudways. I like cloudways. There's a lot of good hosting out there. It is well worth it Well, I hope this video helps if it did, you know, all that good YouTube stuff like subscribe, you know, hit the bell notification but for real Scribing liking and if you have any questions drop them in the comments. I get back to everyone So if you have a question or if you would like to see me Do something else that will help you just drop it in the comments. Thank you. I'll be back again soon a more web design related content Elements or tips tricks and hacks and stuff like that. All right. Thank you. Bye
