All right, hello. Thanks for coming. We're here to talk to you today about detecting suspicious data patterns in encrypted traffic with EBPF and KTLS. And I just want to say I'm excited to talk to everyone about this today, because I have been working on EBPF and TLS for close to 10 years now. So seeing all the pieces come together is exciting. My name is John Vasseman. I work on Tetragon. I'm the lead there. I'm also a psyllium maintainer, also a kernel maintainer. And I work at Isovalent. And Natalia is with me as well. And she also is at Isovalent. And she's the product lead for, I think, everything we're going to be talking about today. So here's a quick agenda. We're going to talk about Tetragon just to give you just a quick brief about where our background is, like how we approach problems like our lens for looking at this. And then we're going to dive into L7 observability and security and use cases. So let's get going, because we have 34 minutes now. So first of all, what is Tetragon? And the reason this talk isn't about Tetragon, we did have a talk on Monday. So go back to the psyllium con if you really want to get a deep dive on Tetragon. But I think it helps to understand what kind of problems we think about and how we go about addressing them. So Tetragon is a security observability and runtime enforcement agent. It's written in BPF, the really heavy focus on overhead. Try to keep that performance really low. We do that with BPF in the kernel. We move a lot of the business logic that is usually in user space. We move it down into the kernel. So all of your filters are down there. We keep a state of all the execs that have happened in the system, all of the sockets. So we have a map from sockets to execution. We have a map from DNS to sockets back to the execution. And we can build kind of a map of what's going on in your platform for observability reasons, first and foremost. And then we follow that up with enforcement. So you can say things like, if this pod or binary even is talking to another binary, that's allowed. If it's doing a DNS query out to a new DNS server, that's not allowed. So you can build these fine-grained binary level policies. And there were actually, Thomas Graf gave a talk Monday about this. So go to the SiloamCon if you want to know more about that. But that's really our focus is the security, deep observability, low overhead. So that's where we're coming from, both from a networking side, but also from a runtime. So think about file integrity monitoring. Think about building signatures to match SysCalls and so on. So that's kind of our lens. We want to make sure we do that transparently. We don't want to get into the application world where you have to modify your applications to get this data. We want to have a single agent. You deploy it, and then all of a sudden you get this visibility. You get this really good enforcement property as well. And we're not just at the SysCall level. We're getting down into DNS requests, HTTP requests, TLS, which we'll talk about what files are being opened, kind of deep, deep inspection, down in the kernel, mapping that back to binaries, user space, Kubernetes labels. That's the kind of tetragon viewpoint of the world. And now we want to talk about layer seven. So one thing that we do at ICIVailant, and I'm sure this isn't too foreign to most people, I know a lot of different people do this kind of observability, is you get a nice dashboard like this. You got your HTTP observability. You can build a service map. You'll say, this service is talking to this service. You can get latency histograms. You can get how many bytes are going over to this URI or that URI. So a lot of different platforms build this HTTP observability platform, and give you this visibility. And in Tetragon, we do something very similar. And we do it at the binary level, so you can pin it back all the way to the binaries inside the containers. So this is great. We endorse this kind of view of the world. You can even do things like this, where you get a process execution trace.  They reached out to API Twitter, apparently, a few other things, Elasticsearch, and maybe in a malicious bucket that you want to detect in your system. So this is all really great. Like I said, we provide this along with a lot of other folks. But there's sort of a problem with this when you go to zero trust, and you start encrypting everything. Your observability tools cannot look inside a TLS session directly. And so that's what we want to talk about today. If you're going to build these tools, there's a bunch of different places you could conceivably hook into the system. And this is a kind of a picture here. In the upper left, you have the pod. And you can see there's a couple options up there that you could hook. Library instrumentation is an option. You can instrument your library with observability hooks, extract data. Uprobes, we put up there. That's a BPF stability to hook user space. Very similar to a library. You hook into the user side of the program. Your BPF program runs, and you get some observability out. Then we have sidecars still inside the pod. Basically what that means is you take traffic from the containers, route it over to the sidecar. The sidecar can inspect traffic. So these are all hooks for layer seven observability. Another option that Cillian provides is a host proxy. So take that proxy, put it on the host, bring it outside of the pod. Then when traffic is sent from the pod to the network, you route it through that proxy, either through EBPF, or if you have a more legacy system or an older system, you might use IP tables as well. Then finally, if you're inside of a virtual machine, there's even hardware hooks for this. So if you're a big cloud provider, you might have a hook on the DPU or the FPGA on the network side. So traffic comes out of the system. You get hooked there. That's an interesting one. If you have the ability to play with hardware, most of our environments, we don't have the ability to drop down FPGAs on the system. But we put back on our tetragon lens. Because we are a security tool, we don't actually trust the pod. So we get rid of a whole bunch of observability points that could work, but don't work inside of our trust model. So if you look up there, clearly, we can't hook the library anymore because we don't trust the application. That's the thing we're trying to observe, the thing we're trying to secure from a malicious user. If that thing is the malicious untrusted thing, we can't trust it to give us data. And then if you also look at the sidecar model inside the pod from a security standpoint, we don't want to trust that entire pod. That's our boundary. We don't want to inject something into the pod and then have to trust it. So we rule those out, which really leaves us with two hook points that are viable, either the host proxy on the left, which is an agent that we redirect to, or something we're going to call SOCMAP L7 BPF. And what the L7 BPF is, is it's a way for BPF to hook directly the socket. So any application that sends data, we get a BPF event with the data. So you do a send, you do a send message, even kind of a receive message, for example. We'll get that data in that BPF program. What's really interesting about that is this program cannot be controlled by the pod at all. Even though we can attach to the sockets, the user of that socket, the owner in the pod, cannot detach or somehow avoid the hook. We will get the event. So let's just put a BPF hook at the socket layer, read all the data. Those are our viable hooks. You might have noticed I put TCBPF there. TCBPF is a way to hook at the software in the network. It's a great hook. We use it in Cilium a lot. Unfortunately, it's after the TCP stack. So if your mindset is L7, you really need to be at the socket layer. Because if you're not, you have to worry about TCP retransmits, which will throw off any parser, building the packets back together. It's just you end up writing an entire new TCP stack in BPF. We don't want to do that. So what's the flow? Let's think about a curl here at ebpf.o. What happens? First, there's a DNS. Then we connect. Then we do a send message. If we're using the host proxy here, what will happen is that packet will be sent out of the pod. It'll be redirected to the host proxy. You'll get your event and then the host proxy will forward the packet along. So kind of a bump in the wire on the host to do your observability. All good. Again, if for HTTP, this is how the model works. How does it work for the SOCMAP stuff? Very similar. Still need to do your DNS. You do a connect to the IP address, and then you do your send, same as before. Except for right after you do the send, we get the BPF hook. We run our BPF program over the data.  We're looking at TLS handshakes, and we post that event to our observability stack, and then send the data along. The advantage here is we don't have to do any redirects. We're not even in the routing stack at all. We're purely a BPF hook directly to the data source. Again, works really well for HTTP and unencrypted traffic. So as I mentioned before, this is really great. But what happens when we want to encrypt stuff for zero trust, service mesh, all the words that we keep hearing about, everybody says it's encrypt. So we do that, and then our dashboards do this, right? Everything's encrypted, so I don't know anything about HTTP anymore because it's all wrapped in TLS. So everything's broken, we need to find a solution. The first one that Cilium supports as well is same flow again, curl, but this time the curl is to HTTPS. Sends it out, it's encrypted, no data. So that's the flow again. It's broken, what do we do? BPF doesn't really save us here, same idea. Curl, because the encrypt happens in user space before they even send the message, same problem. So we need to think up another solution. Let's talk a bit a little bit about what those are, what are our options, how do we resolve the encrypted data problem here. Because of our security model, like one option is to don't encrypt. Unfortunately, not an option. The other one I've seen used quite a bit is U-Probes. You could in fact stick a U-Probes in front of the OpenSSL library to see the encrypt process. So basically in that mode, you take your U-Probes and you attach it to somewhere in the SSL library, whether it's OpenSSL or BoringSSL or any of these SSL libraries. You hook in before they do the encrypt, you get your BPF hook. The only trouble with that from a tetragone standpoint and our viewpoint as a security problem is that that memory is still owned by user space. We're at the mercy of A, the user space calling our library and B, a malicious user could in fact change the data after we've read it. So we have a security problem from using U-Probes. Otherwise, it would have been a great solution, but unfortunately, we cannot use it. So we really have TLS termination, which is the psyllium option, and then we're going to talk about KTLS, which I think is an option that we've been investigating. So it's back down to the same flow again that we've talked about curl, but this time to HTTPS. U-Probes, we've thrown that out. So that's basically before the encrypt, like I said. Then you do the send message and you're good to go. So let's see here. Sorry, I got my slide slightly mixed up. There we go. So this is the next one about the termination. This is the one I wanted. Basically, you do the send, you do the redirect. The redirect goes to the host proxy. Host proxy does the TLS termination because you're sending it with encrypted. You then terminate at the host proxy, observe the data because now you have an unencrypted, and then you re-encrypt it and send it along to its destination. The complex part about this is really what this slide is from the docs in the psyllium side, because now you need to inject your certs into the encrypt. Because you're going to be decrypting, you need the application to do an encryption in a way that you can decrypt. If it just encrypted it arbitrarily, you wouldn't be able to do that. So you need to do a certificate management process shown here. I'm not going to dive into all the nitty gritty details of this, but the basic idea is you inject your cert, the application uses that, use that to decrypt, and then on the other side, you re-encrypt and send it out. So you basically interject yourself into that flow. So how do we do this with BPF? So BPF, we don't do this cert interjection. Instead, what we do is we're using something called KTLS, and KTLS was designed as a performance optimization for TLS. The original use case and it's in production and widely used was to avoid doing an extra copy every time I need to encrypt data off of a disk. So you can imagine if you have a disk image, it's a video perhaps or something like this. There we go. I'm back. Netflix has talked about this in a couple of papers and talks. Basically, the idea is you have a video or something on a file, and you don't want to copy it to user space encrypt it and then send it back in. You want to be able to send it directly from the disk to the network. By moving the crypto into the kernel, you can do that process all in one operation. Copy from disk, crypto, send without ever going to user space. So that was the origins of KTLS. That's why we added it to Linux a handful of years back. That's why it's been in FreeBSD for years. That's the origin of it. If you're curious a little bit, the breakdown is to do the handshake and all the control plane in user space and just do the data path operations in the kernel. You can see performance wins from doing that. What we did after that is we then hooked a BPF in the kernel can hook in front of that encryption. So when you send the data, you're sending the plain text, the BPF program runs, and then it's encrypted after the fact, which lets us read the text in plain text, but the application is allowed to keep the keys and do the entire control flow, and we don't have to interject ourselves on the certificate side. This is the flow here labeled out. The one piece to enable it is the application does need to do a set socket option to turn it on. We've done work in OpenSSL and a few other libraries to add support for this so that it's mostly transparent to users. They don't need to opt in, it can just be used if the kernel supports it. The main thing is that you would need an OpenSSL-3, some of the newer libraries to have this, but it is available in production libraries already. So that's the basic idea. Then by doing that, then we can get our dashboards back, and then that's the big win. Then if you look at what does this look like, we have a CLI here that we show for a lot of things when you do the crypto. Basically, the process gets created, it gets the connect, we see the TLS. This is actually important because if you want to make sure that you're enforcing this behavior, we can actually observe whether or not the user has set the socket option to use KTLS. Then we can do things like alert, or we can drop the traffic in more in a very strict environment, or at least alert to folks that this is not being used. So we're not going to see the next line, which is the HTTP. So this was basically some code we added to TetraGon to do the HTTP parsing in the kernel, do the TLS handshake parsing, and then print it all out. Again, we didn't have to manage any of the certificates, we didn't have to do this kind of stuff, we're directly in the BPF at the send side. With that, I will let Natalia talk. Yeah. So now that we got the S7 visibility back via KTLS, so what would be the end-case use cases here? So how, for example, an information security or SecOps team would use this? So I brought two examples, like both of them are very cool and interesting. The first one is like data extortion via token. So the main security change is like, let's imagine an enterprise, like many enterprise use like a SaaS service to store data, like Datadog, Twilio or Sentry. Then in that enterprise, each team has its own account and then an associated token. So for example, how could you spot if you have a malicious employee in a team and then it just creates its own account and the token, and then just start to ship like data to that account. So with traditional network monitoring tools, you only see that there is like encrypted data or encrypted traffic going to that SaaS service. You don't really have visibility into what token is used. So this is just like a very simple example. You have the organization, you have the application team, platform team, each team has its own account with a token, you have the SaaS service, and then basically you only see that traffic is encrypted over TLS, and then you have this malicious employee created the account with a new token. So one solution is like, let's use KTLS and then Incarno HTTP parsing, and then basically you would have the full visibility into an S7 network flow. So you would have visibility into HTTP header and then the body. So you can identify what was the token, and then for example, you can compare it with other tokens on the white list. So you could actually spot that there was a new account with a new token. And then the dashboard, it's actually the HTTP traffic in a Grafana dashboard exported by Tetragon. Of course, it's like Kubernetes Identity Aware, so you could see like Kubernetes namespace or Kubernetes workload, what was the binary that actually initiated that request. You could see like the method. You would have visibility into the URI, so that's where the token would live. And then you could see for example, the HTTP version, content length, response code, and so on. So this is also another screenshot from the dashboard. Here you could see like all the URIs that were for example, queried by a workload, and then you could see like how many times. And then you could do for example, some like per workload or for example, per binary. The second example is actually like detecting sensitive data patterns from the HTTP body. So let's imagine like, it's actually like a real problem that many enterprises struggle with achieving compliance standards. For example, to not log sensitive data like credit card numbers, social security numbers, IDs. So with KTLS and HTTP parsing, you would have full visibility also into the S7 network flow. So you could actually create signatures to detect sensitive data patterns or even like payloads. So very simple example, you would see here here is header and then here you would have visibility into the payload. So it's actually just like a very simple post request to like a payment service. So you could see the web server information. You could see for example, the user information. It was a Go agent. And then you would have visibility into the payload as well. So in case if there was like a payment, you could see like, okay, there was the email address, the credit card number, expiry date and CCV. So you could actually detect those, and you could even create like signatures to detect like more malicious payloads. So that's what we all wanted to talk about. I do a little bit of web app. So we talked about like, what is Tetragon? ABP based, runtime security observability and enforcement project. We talked about S7 observability from different views, architectures, trust models. We talked about like what happened if you introduced TLS, how it breaks the observability and then how could you still have observability if you have encryption. And we mentioned some use cases. So if you're interested in a more in-depth demo, just come to our booth, Celium booth or Isabelan booth and then we could show you. Or if you're interested in Tetragon, just check out the GitHub repository. It's open source. We have documentation website. If you have any new idea, create feature requests. People are actively working on it. We have many quick starts, user guides and tell your user experience. And if you're interested in more in EBPF, we will have a documentary film starting at 6.15. So you could check it out as well. So with that, I will open up for Q&A and thank you. Yeah, so if you have any questions, just come to the mic. I can hear you. And if there are no questions, we can go to... Oh, there we go. Okay. Perfect. Thank you very much. Just curious, you said the Grafana, those were an exporter from Tetragon. Is that available to us? The Grafana dashboards. I don't think we have any, we have some in the docs. I think there's some actually in the repo, but we haven't really added them to the docs at this point. I have to go back and check. I mean, so from the Tetragon project side, we just released 1.0 last week. And we got a lot of the quick start docs. I think a few of the Grafana dashboards are still buried in the code somewhere. We'll try to get them in the docs here pretty quick. There's no reason not to have them visible. I think it's just a matter of making sure we get them in the docs and visible for people to pull down. Perfect, thank you. Yeah, no worries. Yeah. Neat talk, really. I've never seen that before. With KTLS, I have to have a version of OpenSSL or whatever's doing the encryption that supports KTLS. Does that mean that I am maintaining my own main containers that have specific versions or is that pretty widely supported? Yeah, you know, if you have OpenSSL 3.0, then you have KTLS support. Because we went, you know, whenever, this was two or three years ago, we went through and added KTLS support to OpenSSL. And because it was a major feature, we can't get it in at OpenSSL 2.0 because it would require backporting a feature. But if you have OpenSSL 3, you know, which will become more and more widely available, hopefully over time, then you do have KTLS support. And that's actually independent of EBPF. We use it with EBPF kind of layering the technologies together to be able to look into data before it's been encrypted. But you can use KTLS just as a performance optimization even without EBPF. And so it exists there. Your applications will have to opt in with that socket option. So that was kind of where we landed on that is, you know, we didn't want to just default everybody yet, you know, to every case being KTLS. So you really have to do that. The application will have to do this set socket option to turn it on. Once that happens, then if you're in application using OpenSSL, then there's nothing else you need to do. Like under the actual library, we'll just handle the end shake, offload it all to the kernel. And you're good to go. You know, there's a Golang SSL library. There's a PR open to do KTLS there. I believe if there's somebody who's really up to speed on what boring SSL is doing, they can maybe correct me. But I believe there was something there. I believe Facebook has talked about using this as well. So like there's definitely some rather big organizations that are using KTLS today in production. Kind of, you know, in use. So, awesome. Thanks. Cool. Any other questions? We still have a few moments, the rest. Okay, cool. Yeah, if you guys want to find me later or Natalia, we can talk to you more if you're interested. We definitely, we have a demo too. If you come by the booth, we can show you a demo if you want. Just come find us. I didn't do it here just from swapping screens around. It looked a little bit complicated. I've seen a few demos that tried to reach out to the web and then the web didn't exist. So, you know, come find us. We can show you a demo if you're interested. All right, thank you so much.

We have a new rule that's being added to the NFL this season. NFL owners voted to ban the hip drop tackle. Not only did they vote to ban it, they voted unanimously against the objections of the NFLPA. So starting this season, it is a foul if players use the following techniques to bring a runner to the ground. Grab the runner with both hands or wrap the runner around with both arms and unweighs himself by swiveling and dropping his hips and or lower body, landing on and trapping the runner's legs below the knees. And if a player does this in a game, it will be a penalty for a loss of 15 yards in an automatic first down. Few players took to Twitter to give their thoughts on the new rule. JJ Watt said just fast forward to bounce with the flags on them. Patrick Queen said two hand touch gonna be next. And Mike Davis said as an offensive player, this is wild. So now that we have a new rule in the NFL, what are your guys thoughts on banning the hip drop tackle? Let me know.


Hey everyone, I hope you're well. Welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, my name is Sepi and in today's video I'm gonna be showing you guys some of the recent shopping I've done and I'm gonna be trying on the pieces showing you how I'd wear out and stuff Um, I always get asked like to show my shopping whenever I like snap it up on my Insta story So recently I've done some online shopping from ASOS AYM Studios And H&M and Topshop, the H&M Topshop I bought in store for the ASOS and AYM Studios I bought online So I'm really excited to show you guys everything that I've bought So if you guys are interested in seeing what I've bought and how I'd style it Then please keep watching if you like videos like this give it a thumbs up and tell me in the comments We'll have a little chat in the comments so that I know to film more videos like this So the first item I'm gonna show you is this crop top So it is from AYM studio and it is so nice the fabric is like this soft like stretchy fabric I don't I don't know how to explain it other than like it feels like you know the gym material that you wear But softer and not like you're going to the gym because I feel like gym clothes can sometimes be so Suffocating where they want to be tight to like hold you in so that when you're moving your body parts Kind of don't go bouncing around. This is not like that it holds you in without suffocating you This isn't a size small. I will have it linked down below But I really really like this today I just went out to lunch and I basically worn it with like basic leggings You guys will see in like the try-on haul of it of how I've styled it and I've even posted a picture on Instagram of this outfit. So yeah, so the next item I got from AYM studio is kind of similar to the one I'm wearing like right now except that it's like a Short bodysuit kind of version of it. So it's got the same zip up at the front This zip up only goes to here so that you can kind of get like cleavage with it if you want But the maximum it goes is up to here and then it's got like a collar Whereas like this one is the zip goes all the way up to the top of it And I've got this in extra small because I want it to hug me tight in all the right places I want it to be tight around my curves And I want it to be tight around my waist because I generally tend to have a small waist So if I buy stuff that's like in a size small even though like a size small should be my size because I'm a size 8 It doesn't tend to hug me the way I like so I don't know if it's gonna fit properly I'll try it on in the try on bit and it might not fit properly. I'll let you guys know But in general I like things that are kind of tighter on me Why I love this piece is because you can literally throw this on and it is like such a sexy piece with minimal effort The tightness of it I think is what makes it so sexy without really showing much skin like yeah You have your legs out, but your whole top half is zipped up and it's super tight So it shows off your figure without Showing your figure basically.  So yeah That's why I that's how I imagine wearing this piece and getting my use out of this piece AYM studios that their pieces tend to be more like expensive. I think this was like 45 pounds Compared to like let's say you get the same thing off of like a cheaper Website online, but I feel like the quality is really good and they're closer from what I see It's design and handmade in England and it's like sustainably made I'm not going to lie to you guys. I don't know a lot about sustainable fashion I'm not sponsored either by the way by the morning thing It's just I feel like when you buy like good clothes like good quality It will last you a lifetime and I feel like spending a bit more on better quality fabric will Will last longer for you the next item I got from a ym is this gray like crop top I don't know how to explain the material because it doesn't feel like a Swimming costume material like I said it feels a bit like a gym material But softer and it looks like this and it's like super cropped and on the back It's got these adjustable straps And I love like simple pieces like crop tops because you can wear them with like anything like that hugs you in like the Waste so you could wear like a skirt that hugs you in the waist you can wear high-waisted jeans You can wear leggings that come up to your waist like what I'm wearing now And you can wear a cropped piece on top and it's just such a nice way to make your Like give your figure a bit of an hourglass kind of shape So that's why I really like crop tops and this is one of those pieces. That's kind of like Classic nice to have in your wardrobe. It's a winter color. So I feel like gray is kind of perfect for for winter time so Yeah, I really really like it the fabric seems really durable and it's just like a nice basic piece You can also like layer this up with like a cardigan So you can wear it with like jeans high-waisted jeans and a cardigan and trainers and keep it really casual or you can Definitely dress the supplement as a night out kind of outfit because all crop tops Let's face it you can make it kind of sexy But this also seems like it probably sits above the cleavage area So it's not like too boobian in your face Which is good because I guess if you've already cropped and it's like boobian in your face, too Then it might be a bit much. Okay, so my last outfit from AYM studio is these nude leggings And they are first off quite long. So I feel like they might be too long for me I don't know, but they are so thick like that what I wanted from nude leggings that I can wear out is a material that will not show my butt and Bear in mind. I've got like a really like I've got a box light on me right now this doesn't look like it's gonna show my bum when I wear it on my underwear, so it looks really good thick material and It's quite high waisted I think because if you look at where like the kind of crotch area of the trousers is versus where the top of it is that looks quite high waisted to me and if I like this is so nice to wear with chunky sneakers and Cropped hoodie or you can even wear it on the night out with the crop top that I just showed so yeah There's quite a nice color combo. I think or you can even wear it with like a nude crop top I think I'll look really good But I think it's always nice to have like good staple leggings So like a nude one and a black one kind of like having like a nude pair of heels and a black pair of heels I feel like you kind of need it, but this looks like really thick and good material I have to see that it's not too long for me because if it's too long for me, it won't look nice I'm only five foot two, so I don't want to say that's too too long But they didn't have like a petite version of it But yeah, I think that it looks really good quality material Again quite pricey. I think it was like Between 50 pounds or I even want to say like it was 70 down to 50 or something like that You guys will see because I'll link it down below But yeah, it's quite pricey but again if you want it to last and if you want good quality materials Then I quite like this brand a lot. I've been wearing this top all day and it feels so nice I like the the material they make In general AYM seems to like stick to the same material for all of their clothes that I've ordered Like I've got four pieces and they all seem to be like the same material So I don't know if they just stick to like one Material or not. Next up I got a couple of pieces from ASOS I quite like ASOS's own brand and I like that they're like kind of working with influencers now and like Styling and getting a lot more like on on Instagram like styling a lot of their own things because I feel like ASOS's own things It's such good quality So in terms of like Allowing us to see it like me I look at Instagram a lot for fashion inspiration So yeah, I quite like that they're quite up on the gram The stupid of me. I've just given you this whole spiel about ASOS's own brand and this is actually from collusion I think the other one is ASOS's own brand. Please tell me otherwise. I've just fully embarrassed myself Yeah, the other one is ASOS's own brand. Okay. How about I talk to you about the other one first seeing as I've given you this nice long spiel Yeah, their own stuff is really really nice one of the fashion bloggers who I really love is Tia Limica and She recently like Teamed up with like ASOS But I think I even saw her in this exact base I'm not gonna lie to you. I come over this exact one, but this is so Nice you guys how often is it that you're like wearing like a blazer or something and you're like, I just wish it was cropped So it could be a bit more sexy. This is like for me where smart casual meets Sexy like look at that please you're going on a night out You want to look classy, but you kind of want to have something like a bit of a You know a bit of a oh That's different not seen that before and I've never seen like a cropped blazer like this before where it literally looks like They've taken your regular blazer that you wear to work Monday to Friday and they've given it a little bit of a chop That is what I feel like with this. I think this is so pretty it even had a matching skirt I think the matching skirt they didn't have in my size, which is why I couldn't buy it, but absolutely Love this one. It is so nice. You can literally like I said wear it over a dress You can wear it with high-waisted jeans and a crop so Imagine it like with this gray crop underneath that I got from a ym this gray crop underneath this blue jeans black heels And you're done because it's got like It's got like gray and black stripe in it So you can wear it with like black heels you can mix it up you can mix the colors involved with it So I really really really like this. I really hope it looks just as good on Next up is the blazer is holding which I actually did get from a source, but it's not a source in brand It's from a brand brand called collusion that sold on a sauce and again This is the whole cropped blazer vibe, which I as you can tell I'm feeling right now But this not only has a twist in there. It's a cropped blazer, but look at the sleeves So it's got these drawstring Thing it's got this drawstring thing going on the sleeves And so when you're wearing it you can like tighten it so like you've got like your sleeve like bunched up like that How cool is that like how different? I love clothes that I was like unique about them because then you don't have to Make a lot of effort with like layering and jewellery, etc. I like your clothes of the art piece to outfit So that's why I really like this. I love like little quirky Quirky pieces Guys, let me know in the comments as well like who your favorite fashion influencers are Like who you think I should be following for like style because I love looking at other people for inspiration at the end of day I feel like fashion is something that like you'll see something you'll see someone wearing something But like oh I would wear that like or I would wear that with this Etc. So I really think it's nice to like take inspiration from other people. So next up is an item I got from Topshop the other day and I already got coffee on it because hello story of a student Slush working gal Yeah, I was working in GP in the morning. Where is it? Must be on this side I was working in GP in the morning and I went to get a coffee and of course I spilled it on my sleeve Here but let me just show you the actual jumper. So I got it from Topman And it's in a size large and it says Osaka Kobe on it And it's just this oversized jumper and I've already worn it. I think like three days in a row so first time I wore it I went out with one of my friends for dinner and then went to see the rest of my friends after and Where I went I went for Nando's and so my friends will like you all this to Nando's because I let you all this with some white boots from public desire and It looked so funky guys I can't even tell you and I wore a brown faux-joulet over it and It's just a really fun and effortless like this crop jumper with booties so fun and effortless so I really really like it and Yeah, everyone was like like all of my friends I went as well after we're like, oh, where are you going or wherever you just come from? So I knew kind of they looked really cool I also wore this to work literally just over my own clothes where it's so big I will I wore my work clothes and threw this on top just to be warm because the weather's gotten so much colder in England recently So Yeah, it's always good to have a jumper. I love the color of this.  So Yeah, I got this with 20% off. So it came down from 30 pounds to 24 pounds. I Think it's quite nice. Actually when I was buying this someone came and said hello to me Actually, a lot of you guys saying hello to me now and it gets me so happy because I'm like Yay, like those people who watch and I know you guys watch I know you would leave me lovely comments and DM me and stuff but like seeing you guys and you guys actually saying hello to me is It like blows my mind that like wow I reached this many people Someone said hi to me like as an I had my back to them and they like tap me They're like seppy and tell around they're like I knew it was you from your hair And I was like that is mad like trademark hair, which I've actually cut four inches off this morning guys Does it even look like a cut four inches? It was driving me mad It was actually driving me mad to the point where like when I was sitting down I was almost sitting on my hair when I'd go bathroom. I'd have to like do this to go bathroom So yeah, my hair was driving mad. Okay. We are almost done with this haul We've just got to finish with H&M So the H&M stuff I've been wearing all this week because I basically wanted some stuff for work Just a couple of like new jumpers because it's quite cold and let's face it if you live in England You're gonna you're gonna make use out of jumpers or if you're from America. You guys call it sweaters I believe but yeah, I got this one So this like jumper sweater is I cannot even explain to you look at how just how it stretches It is the softest Most gentle material ever. It's like crumbly. Oh, I don't know how to explain. It's like a moosey dessert But for your skin, but it doesn't feel moosey. I don't know my analogies are so awful guys But basically it's just so soft on your skin that like you want to live in this So I've been wearing this to work ever like twice this week already and it's got these gold button details on the side It's a bit of a high nick, but it doesn't fold over and it's long sleeve The only thing I don't love about this style is that the bottom of it doesn't crop in So you kind of like have no shape with it But then again sweaters aren't really that designed to they're not designed to give you a shape So fair enough and like I just wear it with like I have an a-line skirt that pinches in at the waist I've had it since I was in sixth form and it's from River Island and I literally wear it with that and it looks so nice on The next sweater I got from H&M is so beautiful. It's a high-neck kind of roll neck.  I can't stop itching. It's nothing like that It's really really soft on your skin. I wear like a vest underneath it like a short sleeve vest But I just wear that because I don't like wearing jumpers straight onto my skin I feel like then it makes it really uncomfortable to wash you have to wash them off frequently ruins the jumper etc but yeah getting off topic I wear this I wear it with like black jeans to work or like black trousers and I feel like it's really really nice It's got this really cute button detailing on its sleeve, which makes it quite classy. I feel And the sleeves are quite like stretchy So like I have to if I was to wear this in hospital I'd have to wear it above my elbows after all it all the way up and it stretches enough for me to be able to Do that so I really really like it I feel like you could also wear this with a mini skirt a black knee skirt and some black knee-high or over-the-knee like thigh high Tight boots and I feel like it would look so so sexy So like, you know like classy sexy like 90s vibes. I feel like you can get it with this jumper So really love that and the last item in this haul are these pair of I would say they're like Align jeans are they called a line jeans? I Don't know that they're basically like straight cut. That's it straight cut So they're they're skinny at the top and then at the bottom. They are just straight cut So they're not then they don't like hug your ankles or anything like that I really like the wash of it. It has no rips in it, which let's face it Like I'm a bit out of like I'm a bit over ripped jeans in winter I don't want any cold winds coming in and brushing up my legs not that mood So yeah, absolutely. I love this. It's like a light blue dark blue Mix kind of wash and it's really nice. It's tight around the waist I bought this in the size eight The problem with me is when I first wear jeans I'm like, yeah need this in like a size eight and then after like a couple of wears I'm like should have put it down like a size because like they all stretch and my waist is like smaller Then the rest of my body. So yeah, this feeling all right though. I quite like H&M jeans I have quite a few pair of H&M jeans. I'm happy with them The only benefit of like other jeans is like for example top shop You can pick the length of the jeans which I really like but Zara also do really really good quality jeans as well so I like Zara H&M and top shop for jeans Also got a new pair of framed jeans around Christmas time, but I Actually CBO to go upstairs and bring them down and show them to you. I got them in the sales So you probably I don't even know if you'd be able to shop them anyway Yeah, I'm not gonna get it. So that is the end of this huge haul I hope that you guys have enjoyed this video if you did and let me know in the comments Let's have a chat about it. If you want to see how I style it be sure to follow me on Instagram My Instagram is Persian Bunny where I wear basically everything that I buy so Yeah, I try to show you guys my styling outfits Don't forget to let me know in the comments as well like fashion boggles that you guys like that you think I would like to My like I said my interest Persian Bunny, but my snap is a sepi semi These are all written across the screen for you guys now and I will see you guys in my next video Love you. Bye


I'm Dr. Deborah Schietz. I'm an associate professor of nursing at the University of Victoria. I'm one of the co-site leads for the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging, the CLSA. The CLSA is timely, especially right now, because the number of older adults in Canada is going to double over the next 20 years. And so we have a lot to learn about aging, and the timing of the study couldn't be better. My personal research interests are about creativity in aging, about healthy aging, and about how we can help people to remain independent and have a high quality of life as they grow older. And so the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging is going to give us a lot of information about that and how we can support people to have the best later life possible. I'm particularly excited about the ways the information that the CLSA will provide that will hopefully allow us to understand a little bit more about creativity and how it can help older people to adapt as they face some of the challenges of growing older.


Hi everybody it's Sam at Mixed Up Craft, thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm really excited to share my updated version of the teacup and saucer so about, oh gosh I think it was, well it must have been around Mother's Day actually. I done the teacup and the gift box or the display box for it and you've really enjoyed it. So many of you still now send me pictures and already you've started to share Christmas versions of it over on Mixed Up Crafters and I've already had this on my list to do and I wanted to do a hot chocolate mug in a display box. This has turned out better than I thought and my little, I should show my little sketch actually, I don't know where I put it but yeah I just love how it's all come together. Now there's a few differences with this obviously you can see that we've got a mug instead of a teacup and then this is much taller and slightly thinner and this one is on a hinge. Okay now this is going to be in two parts so I'm going to show you the mug today and then tomorrow I'm going to show you the display box okay and also I still don't need to do it and I'll do that ready for the next tutorial but I want to have a nice sentiment on here like surprise or enjoy your treats or something like that. But just to give you an idea I have stuck this down there because I just thought, I think this is a lovely gift for you know anybody but if you've got another crafty friend this will look so lovely just in their craft room afterwards. I just think it's a really nice piece so I have put in here this will be a real candy cane, this is just a plastic one. Then I've just put some hot chocolate sachets, some marshmallow, some chocolates. I just think it looked really really nice it's just a nice little gift and you could put a nice little piece of jewelry in there as well I just think it's lovely. I am again I always say if you're proud of something then don't be afraid to show it and I am I'm really proud of this one. On the top here a lot of you recognize this this is the deconstructed bow that I like to make so this is the same as the big bow topper but this is just very very small so I've just cut all those pieces much smaller. If you want to see how you make the big one check out this one here and just reduce your sizes and you'll get a smaller one. Yeah I just think it looks really nice and I've used it's like a glitter ribbon that's it's almost like a little bit flat it's like coated I think that's what it is but it's um it really keeps its kind of 3d form so yeah I love that and I've used the same on the bow inside there. So let me show you how to make the mug first and then like I said tomorrow will be the display box. Okay so this is the paper pad I'm using it's the 8 by 8 first edition believe it in magic it's really cute you've got the little penguins you've got the robin you've got the polar bears and then all those lovely pattern papers and lots of them have got texture as well especially that sparkle one it's really really nice you can just kind of see it there because they show the same texture on the front cover here so this cover's got loads of texture. Again all the links will be shared below so I'm going to do the same pattern paper for the mug I really like that one and you can see the one on the back there as well because I'm going to fold it over I don't know how well that picked up on camera but you can just see there where it folds over again don't have to do that but um I just thought it looked quite nice so I'm going to get straight into the scoring and the measurements so this is a piece of seven and three quarters by five inches okay if it's directional paper you want to make sure it's facing up the right way and you want to score it one and a quarter two and a half three and three quarters five inches six and a quarter and seven and a half okay then rotate it onto the short side and you want to score it one inch and at four and a half okay and that I'm just checking oh yeah then you need to do another little bit here this is for the box that becomes the kind of the stand I guess or part of the mug so this is a piece of four and a quarter by three inches along the four and a quarter side you want to score it one inch two inches three inches and four and then along the three inch side you want to score it one and two inches so it's just a one inch cube that we're going to make okay so first of all with the mug if you fold that top smaller score lines you'll have that one where we scored at one inch that one you just want to fold and burnish under but the top one you want to bring over the other way I know we didn't fold it we didn't score it correctly but it should be okay if you just carefully fold it over if you're worried that you might get some cracking take it put it back on your scoreboard and score it on the other side again okay so I'm just gonna burnish that one burnish that one I mean you may want to have yours a bit taller or you may want to stick some white card over the top of that one I may do that you might try a bit differently we'll see anyway I do like that one and then just open it back up again and then all of these score lines here just fold and burnish each one because that's going to create the shape of our mug okay so you'll have this tiny quarter inch tab on the right hand side you'll have all those kind of square shapes along the bottom you want to cut up each one just to that first score line just cut straight up and then this last little one you'll have this tiny piece here just remove that completely and then you'll have another tiny piece at the top in there just take that out so you're just left with that tab like this let's just take a little bit off there and I've taken it off on a little just a slight angle not too much ever so slightly okay because that is going to fold down and still be seen what will happen is that's all going to wrap around and that tab is going to stick it together and then those pieces that you folded over should join up nicely all of these are just going to fold in on themselves and then we'll be sticking that all together when we add this base here and the handle before we stick it together we'll do the handle now actually so I have got just a piece of matching card stock from the pack and I've got here is a two and a half inch scalloped punch and I'm just going to punch a circle out there and then using my circle dies here because I don't have a circle punch that was it's almost like I need a one and a half let me show that was it it's one and five eighths the one and a half it was just it this is a scalloped one I need to get a one and a half straight punch but you want to you want a die yeah it's this one here a circle die that's about one and five eighths diameter and I'm going to die cut that in the middle okay because I just want the outer ring and then I'm going to cut it in half and that's going to kind of give you your handle so I'm just going to quickly get that one die cut okay so just run that one through so you want something that looks like that it doesn't have to be a scallop so don't worry if you don't but you want your ring to be if I take into account the scallop bit there it's just under half an inch okay you'll see again there that's what I'm trying to achieve all right then you want to best use a scoreboard you score a seven eighths of an inch I just want to make sure I get this right so just score a seven eighths of an inch keep the stylus in its track so you continue down to the bottom piece there okay and then snip away that piece okay so you don't want the smaller piece you want the large piece pop it back in your scoreboard and then score again at a quarter of an inch again keep that nice and flush there like so and then just fold those pieces like so and they're going to be our little tabs which we are going to stick inside this tab so it will become a little handle all right so you want to just get something that's roughly like that size that I've just showed you so two and a half outer ring with a one and five eighth ish inner ring and then just cut and score like I did there okay so I'm just adding some glue to the backs of the tabs there and on the side so there's my quarter inch tab here on the other end just stick it inside like so if you just go to pretend to close it just so you're happy with the positioning of your handle you want it I guess kind of just under that folded piece so there's the folded piece there it's just coming under that a little bit just make sure if you fold it right over then you know that you've got it right you know on that end there okay and now with this piece here you can add glue all along that one and then just close the whole thing up you can lie it flat because it's all equal sides like so and that way you know that you're going to get it all in fact I would say do that because that way you know it's all going to come together properly so just spend a few minutes just making sure that glue sticks properly okay so I'm just going to leave that like that for the minute now I'm going to move onto this because we'll stick all that down because we need this to be ready so you just want to fold and burnish all the score lines on this piece okay and then with the tab on the right hand side you want to cut down all of the score lines to that first score line okay like so and then this last little piece just cut away cut a little wedge there just like we did for this piece and turn the whole thing around we'll flip it so now the tabs on the left hand side cut down that little one first and again a little wedge just so now you've got that tab and then cut down every one again like so okay because this is going to be a cube so we're going to close in everything so on this little piece here you just want to pop the glue fold the whole thing in half so you've got two squares on this side two on this side in the tab and just stick that all down okay and then all the pieces now you can just fold in and I'm just going to add some glue onto the top fold one add some glue fold another add some glue fold that one and then just pop your finger inside there just to make sure it's all stuck down and then again on this side you don't want to push this one in too much because you that's it we've got nothing to be able to you know you can't get your finger in there once this is closed so try not to let it kind of cave in on itself just do the same thing like oh don't put glue well it doesn't matter because we're going to be gluing this all down if you've got anything overhanging I wouldn't worry about it to be honest because you're probably not going to see it but if it's yeah I would say see I've got a piece overhanging just here then I can trim that but I'd stick that to the base of the mug rather than the base of the base because you might see it okay so but you can trim that off so it doesn't like I said it doesn't really matter like so but you just want this little cube all right okay so now back to the mug what you want to do now usually whenever we work with shapes like this we work with opposites together so like I would stick the two opposites together but they won't quite meet it's not going to matter what you want to do is just pop a little bit of glue on the kind of corners and just fold in them like so like I said don't you know worry too much for the minute it will all kind of make it shape all right and then put some glue around all of that kind of inner area center area and then I've just die cut this one and I'm just going to stick that over the top I've got my finger in my handle there okay and now you just want to kind of start to shape it and what I would say is line up one of your straight sides here with your mats okay so for example there and then make sure the other top one this one here is straight and if they're both straight every all the other sides will fall in together so yeah just spend a few minutes just making sure that your top and bottom whatever side you choose the top and the bottom are perfectly straight and then the other two sides will all take their shape it's the same as my rocket box that I done okay I just stuck the top and the bottom side and then the other two sides you know or four sides they all kind of found their shape and the worst case is that it might go a little bit more squashed but look if I push that in see it creates the shape that we want or if you kind of go like that it creates a more squash look but that when you look at it straight on which is how we look in the box it's it's okay anyway but I do want to try and keep it more hexagon like that okay I'm not going to put one inside you can do if you actually I will do I guess it just helps so we'll just drop that one in there okay and now we've got our little mug it's so cute next I'm going to use my hot glue now and I want to attach this cube to the bottom here so I'm just going to line it up with this front one okay and just make sure it's in the kind of the center of that one there in the back there and then it should lie in the center of the points there okay so just spend a minute make sure that all sticks down okay then I've got these circles here for the base so I've got a three inch piece of three inch diameter circle in 300 gsm cardstock the same in some thumb foam and the same in pattern paper and I'm going to stick those three together if you don't have thumb foam just cut a few more in this here and it just I just think it looks quite nice if I bring that up there you have the dimension just gives it more of a mug look and then this one here is two and a half yeah piece of foam and the cardstock but I just need to get my pattern paper to go on top but you just want to stick them all together so I'm going to go and get my pattern piece done for the other one and stick all these down okay so I've just stuck the smaller one on top of that one it looks at the top of a jam jar okay I haven't didn't have the same bluey color but when I sit that on there actually looks really sweet so I'm not too worried then I just want to add a bow onto this while I've got it still kind of unattached I'm also just going to add a little bit of glue just under the ends here just so that they stay down okay now I want to decide I think I'm going to go yeah silver bow on this one so this is this um I picked it up from B&M quite a while ago and I had a pack of I've got another might have been a pack of seven or eight I've got quite a few of them but the the turquoise one there that is a gorgeous color it really is and um but the thing I love about them is they really keep their shape because they're kind of in between paper and I just think they're a coated paper anyway I'm going to cut a little bow this one okay and then I'm just get that glitter off there so I don't want it to interfere with the glue I'm just going to pop some more hot glue in the center there and then stick this in the center of the base and there you've got your Christmas mug I think it looks so cute so that's it for today that's all I wanted to show you in this tutorial because not everybody will want to make the display box so I thought if I keep the two videos separate then it's easy for someone to just you know go to them that way and also you may just want to make the box on its own there's lots of people that might want to put something different in there so yeah tune in tomorrow for the gift box to display this again I'll just bring it in here so you can see the final result I think it looks so nice and I like that it's stuck in there because that person can hold and lift it like this and nothing's going to fall out and I may well once I've you know put the proper stuff in there probably put it in a little cello bag or something with a little you know tie at the top so again nothing really does fall out but yeah they're super cute there's this one again so I hope you've enjoyed it please give me a thumbs up if you have and hopefully you'll be back again tomorrow to see how I make the box thanks for watching bye


CAT7 vs CAT8 cables. What's the difference? When it comes to high-speed networks, CAT7 cabling and CAT8 cabling are the two advanced options available. However, CAT8 cabling is the only one that truly changes the possibilities of transmission constantly. Category 7 cabling was introduced and officially ratified in 2002. The new clarification was the ISO slash IEC 11801 standard. CAT7 was designed to meet targeted specifications for cross-stalk and interference. The construction of the cable was a fully shielded S slash FTP cable. Furthermore, it is constructed with foil shielding wrapping around individual pairs. Furthermore, an outer braided shield that surrounds all four pairs. The category 8 cabling standard was introduced in 2016 and was specifically to target transmission speeds of 25 gigabit and 40 gigabit. It has a very similar construction to the CAT7 cable but we greater construction of the cable. Therefore, let's explore the key differences between these cable categories and understand their respective capabilities. Is CAT8 better than CAT7? CAT8 cables represent the next level of transmission performance compared to CAT7. They were designed to provide the highest transmission capabilities and bandwidth for high-speed applications. CAT7 cabling was designed to support 10 gigabit ethernet or 10G base T. This was at the standard copper cabling distance of 90 meters in the permanent link or up to 100 meters as a direct link. The introduction of CAT8 cabling opens a new world of transmission capabilities. These transmission speeds are 25 gigabit and 40 gigabit. However, these transmission speeds are over a reduced distance. Do CAT8 cables make a difference? CAT8 cabling make a significant difference in terms of performance. However, this is mainly over the shorter cabling link situations. With the capability support 25 gigabit and 40 gigabit, CAT8 cabling is suitable for ultra-fast connections. In addition, where reliable connections at high speeds are paramount. The main place CAT8 is employed is in within data centers. Most structured cabling links in a data center are cabinet to cabinet and within the same room. Therefore, shorter cabling distances. How much faster is CAT8 than CAT7? As discussed above, CAT8 offers a high transmission capability over shorter distances. CAT7 cabling is designed for 10 gigabit applications. The problem with CAT7 cabling is that CAT6A cabling also offers 10 gigabit capabilities at a better cost and an availability of materials. CAT7 cables have a bandwidth of 600 megahertz. However, CAT8 cables depending on manufacturer can have a bandwidth of up to 2000 megahertz. What is the maximum distance for CAT8 cable? The maximum distance for data transmission using CAT8 cables is in two parts. At 90 meters in the permanent link and 100 meters in the channel, this is with two patch leads added, CAT8 cabling supports 10 gigabit. This is the same as CAT6A cabling and CAT7 cabling. However, over shorter distances it can support much high speeds. To support 25 gigabit and 40 gigabit the maximum distance is as follows. 24 meters for the permanent link. 30 meters for the channel, link plus patch leads. With specific switch setup and individual tests, it has been shown CAT8 cabling can support 25 gigabit up to 50 meters. Will CAT8 work with my router? CAT8 cabling like CAT7 cabling have a different makeup of copper pins within their connectors. The connectors have four additional pins compared to the previous eight pins. Therefore, different patch leads are required. The hardware they are plugging into also needs to be specific for CAT8 cables. They will potentially fit into standard switches but will only work to the lesser 10 gigabit capability. CAT7 vs CAT8 cables conclusion. Firstly, CAT7 cabling has become an unpopular choice in data cabling design. As its transmission speeds are similar to CAT6A, it's not specified to a high degree. Also, the availability of materials compared to CAT6A make it an unpopular choice. CAT8 cables as a standard do take transmission capabilities to a new level. However, as discussed, they are only over the shorter distances. The distances are mainly only suitable within a data center. With all network cabling design it's important that you first determine the requirements of your current networking needs and future requirements. There is no need to install the highest grade of cabling if your hardware doesn't require it. In addition, higher grade cabling generally requires a lot more containment. In a data center this is usually a lot easier to install. There is specific data center containment and there is more room to install it due to the open plan and exposed cabling routes.

Hope you guys had a great day today Just waiting for everyone to get in here. Or kids are choppy as usual. I should have slept in today. Yeah, right? So we're gonna start in a few minutes here guys gonna be talking about a lot of topics in this market It's um, so I'm a little bit tired today woke up a little bit late today. Hope you guys had a great day today This VRU looks like it's trapping It's setting up for a daily chart breakout. It looks like But we're gonna be talking about them. So you guys can hear me you guys could see me And you start here in about one minute Jan supported the 340 support level that we mentioned this morning. All right guys, I'm gonna clean up the lens and then I'm gonna start it What's up everyone? You guys couldn't get enough of me one day.  So every single Tuesday He does uh Instagram live and every single Monday I do a youtube live bow is right now in Asia on a vacation He's going and giving back to orphanages and you know, he's taking some time for himself So I said, you know, I'm gonna come on here and cover for him on a Tuesday and talk about the current market cycle And you know what's been going on the markets because a lot of people are struggling right now A lot of people are chopping around right now me myself. I'm having red days, you know last year I barely had a red day this year. It's like every day I have a red day But it's all been controlled and that's kind of what I want to talk about today. So Before I begin I want to ask you guys what broker are you guys using to trade with? Because we're using success trader calm, right? And the reason why I mentioned that is because they're locates or some of the most competitive locates out there So for today jane j a n most we're paying anywhere between 5 to 10 cents a share to locate it We paid less than a penny a share. We paid 0.00 75 a share as success trader calm So if you guys aren't using success trader, I don't know why you guys are still getting ripped off on the locates You know, we ended our previous broker relationship Because we found out that they were ripping people off on locates and we're not really having that So our new preferred broker success trader doesn't do any of that stuff. That's why I use them That's why we recommend them and you would have seen today They're dirt cheap cheaper than anyone else on the street. So if you guys have any questions You could check out success trader calm. We have our own broker liaison in the room to help you out with that. So Yeah, that was a really sick one today. Um So I wanted to kind of come on here and talk about the current market action What's been happening, right?  I'm trading red. There's nothing to be ashamed of there's nothing to be embarrassed about um But what I've been doing well is I've been really really controlling my losses because The main thing about these bear markets guys is it's very difficult to trade, right? Because what ended up happening is for the last two years So most market participants started trading in the pandemic in 2020, which was two years ago I started trading in 2014, which is eight years ago, right? Eight years ago is when I started and most people started two years ago So what happened was when they saw the 2020 market with the pandemic and how crazy things were The perception was that trading is very easy and it's very easy to make money in the stock market For the last two years It's been very easy to make money in the stock market because people started treating the stock market like a casino, right? The stock market is not a casino, right? But they started treating it as such and then they got results as such They were betting big on options They were betting big on small cap stocks a lot of uneducated money That was into sports betting that was into roulette that was into all this other stuff They started date trading they started gambling and professional traders like myself professional traders like the traders and m i c we cleaned up Simple as that made three million dollars yet last year the year before I made a million and a half a year before that I made a million like it's a lot of millions of dollars being made in these markets, right? So What has changed now? What has changed? So the main thing that has changed the market, right? The main thing that has changed the market is all these inflation worries is the fed raising interest rates It's the war in ukraine. It's the chinese shutdown there's a lot of geopolitical events that are causing the market to crash, right and in terms of this market You know this crash that's happening in 2022 is probably one of the worst crashes ever since like the great depression But the problem is that people don't talk about it because the media is controlled by the democrats, right? Is I don't want to get political here.  It's probably we're 10,000 90 percent everybody's fucking gone instantly right so a lot of people aren't talking about that so because because the No one really has much money anymore The problems occur because the stocks that we trade the small cap stocks that we play Are based on news and catalyst, okay? What ends up happening is these companies they like to hype up their stocks They like to get people excited my stock cured cancer my stock cured alzheimer's my stock cured lymphatic They cure everything these people right now what ends up happening is When people have money When people have excess money They go they spend it out in the Gucci store. They go they buy a new tesla Or they start putting it into these speculative investments, right these speculative investments that most of the time Are just that speculation. There's no there's no rhyme or reason behind it. There's no, um There's nothing behind it, right? There's nothing behind it So what ends up happening is when people have extra money when people have excess money They're more than willing to start gambling on these small cap stocks When they start gambling on these small cap stocks People like us People like at my C traders. We bet against the hype We make our money when stocks go down. We make our money shorting There's plenty of members that made money shorting the market, which is great and that's amazing sure That's strategy that we have But the main way that I make money is I wait for these parabolic moves Mostly based on pump and dumps from other people and when the momentum starts to subside That's when I short it and that's when I make money Now the problem is In this market when most market participants lost 50 to 70 percent of their money Whether it be in long-term investments, whether it be in IRA, whatever it is They don't feel comfortable to be able to spend On even gasoline on groceries, let alone speculative stocks So because the economy is in the place that we're in And because people don't have as much money as they used to Now they can't afford to speculate on these stocks Now people can't afford to even pay for their gas tank, right?  And that's why these stocks are going crazy The amount of money that was printed in 2020 I'm pretty sure 80 percent of all us dollars in existence were printed in the last two years alone And all these people they spent it the money's gone The money's gone. So when the money started printing When people had excess money from the government from stimulus checks They put it into the stock market. They put it into speculative investments. They put it into crypto Now that that has been cut off That there's no more money entering the system that inflation is up interest rates are up People don't have the money to gamble with People don't have the money to speculate with and that is what's causing the slowdown in the small cap market That is what's causing the slowdown in the large cap market Institutional money does not feel comfortable investing in these stocks Institutional money pension money, whatever the hell it may be Is what controls the large cap markets So for the market to rebound For the small cap market to rebound let alone large cap small cap market rebound There has to be more confidence entering the system What will cause more confidence entering the system? Inflation coming back to normal if inflation comes back to normal Then the federal reserve will turn back on their policy of raising interest rates Which would give consumers the confidence to be able to you know start investing again What else would happen if the price of oil starts to go back down and gas prices get the hell away from six seven eight dollars a gallon Then people will have extra money to spend The market is based on speculation money. The market is based on future returns And these companies whether it be the amazon the google's the facebook the apple whatever the hell it may be They move based on earnings If the companies are not selling as many iPhones if they're not selling as many teslas because people don't have money to afford it Then the price of the stock goes down It is all correlated and it's all like a domino effect of things happening guys. So Yes, eventually the market's gonna turn the market's gonna change. We don't know if it's gonna be in a month We don't know if it's gonna be in a year. We don't know if it's gonna be in three years. We don't know What we do know Is that inflation is the issue High energy prices are the issue and high interest rates are the issue So when one of these gets solved It may lead to some confidence Coming back into the market and when that confidence comes back into the market the stocks will rebound when the stocks rebound We will have more opportunities to make money when there are more opportunities to make money. We trade and we make money Right now As the market is dead As the market is broken I'm not using size, right? So I've been on a little bit of a losing streak But you guys have to remember my average winning day is about four to five thousand dollars This year last year was like 10 20 30 thousand dollars. This year my average winning day is a couple thousand dollars So my red days if you've been paying attention if my average winning day is five thousand dollars My average red day right now is about a thousand dollars About 20 percent About 20 percent of my average day is what i'm losing The m i c recommended process is your max daily loss should be two times your daily gain But I've been keeping my losses about Way less than that and that's what's causing me to stay calm That's what's causing me to stay focused. I don't really care make or lose a thousand dollars for me personally Based on how much money I make in the markets if I make or lose a thousand dollars. That's Thank god. It's like losing a dollar on the floor, right? So I don't really concern myself with that stuff, right? But what I'm making sure to do Is when these market conditions are non optimal when the market conditions are Telling me that there's not much speculation money Showing up to the market I'm sizing down So I mentioned this in yesterday's video now my normal size on the day-to-days anywhere between 10 to 20 thousand shares My size right now is about two thousand shares About 90 percent less than normal And it's 90 percent less than normal because in this current market cycle When people are blowing up when people are losing their money when people are going broke My job is just to make sure that i'm coasting around My job is to make sure that i'm here waiting for those perfect opportunities because as you guys remember four months ago three months ago I made seven hundred thousand dollars in one day on indo. That was my best setup That was Where I make most of my money So i'm sitting here every single day showing up to the market every single day waiting for that setup to show up It's like going to the gym. I'm going to the gym every single day, right?   We were in a 12 year bull market So even if we struggle with a two year bear market the next 10 are going to be straight up So your job as a trader your job as an investor your job as Fucking whatever you want to call yourself Just to stay alive Whether the storm Your goal right now is not to make money In these slow times your goal is to learn Your goal is to watch these videos Your goal is to improve and get your reps in So that when the action does turn When the action does change When things start to do something different You have gotten in your reps you have practiced And now you are ready to attack. Does that make sense guys? Does that make sense? This is probably one of the hardest markets that I've traded in the last eight years And it is no coincidence that this is one of the biggest crashes in the last 20 years So this is one of the biggest crashes in the last 20 years Obviously, it's going to be hard to trade.      Does that make sense guys?

I saw harry posting something about retail traders in auction Truth is I don't know they tried the five cent tick pilot and it didn't really work So they went back on it so they might try something and then go back on it.

Hello, I'm Tiffany Barsodi of healandthrive.com and I do interesting sessions being a spiritual and medical counselor that sometimes involves looking at the psycho-spiritual emotional root causes with devices. So one of the devices that I use in my office regularly is something called Syma Therapy or the AMI 750. These are frequencies that are offered through a device that has gel pads on it and you put your bare feet on the gel pads or your hands. The idea is that the meridians end at your feet and end at your fingertips. So when we are being sensitive and pulling in certain things and frequencies, this is why earthing and grounding is also very important. But literally we can pull in healing frequencies through our feet using this AMI 750. I am so happy to be able to administer this in the midst of my sessions. It doesn't interrupt, it doesn't change anything and it's like getting a double treatment for something. So the way it works is that Symatics and Syma is the visual representation of sound. So when you see literally that sound waves actually make a certain form, you can see that this is, wow, this could be interesting, there's a relationship to how my cells actually take on form. As we are mostly, as the interstitial fluids, fluid body, in addition to being electromagnetic and electrical being, we have so much more to us that enables us to be able to drink in these frequencies that can be very beneficial in a lot of ways. It's a class one medical device and it is used to treat primarily stress and inflammation. And there is some pain treatment with that as well as it is associated with inflammation. Oftentimes those two go together. So I invite you to come have an experience. It's a beautiful thing to be able to have no side effect essentially from being treated with frequency and the way that this, the way that the frequencies work is that they come in packets of five and there are particular settings depending on what's going on with you that I would set you up on the device in order to feel the difference over time. So I invite you to come have the experience. This is something that we need to do in person. So I look forward to seeing you soon. Book a free 15 minute console if you want to talk to me about this or anything else. Thank you.
