And tomorrow, we're not out of the woods by no stretch of the imagination. I think the close tomorrow is gonna be super duper important. Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessToTrader.com Nightly Update. I hope everybody is doing well. Before we get started, the boys have instructed me to let you guys know that there is a special trial sale ending tonight, right? Believe me, when people talk about things going on with the company, I have no idea what's going on. That's why I have the whole crew behind me and they said, hey, there's a sale coming, it's gonna be ending tonight. So if you guys are ever in the point of wanting to know about pivots, the ranges and all that good stuff, it ends tonight and the most important part is that you get all the full access to everything that's going on in the whole Access to Trader universe and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. So if you wanna take advantage of it ends tonight, it is pretty cool. They're not gonna be another one till probably labor day. So anyway, let's talk about the markets, right? Most important part, let's talk about the tape and see what we got here. So yesterday, I guess, well, excuse me, Friday, we had a pretty good bounce and we talked about on the video first close over the five day moving average. Why was that important? Well, it's the first time we closed over the five day moving average since all this crap over here, every single time the market broke all those levels, it got back to the five day moving average and got rejected yesterday. Well, Friday was the first close. If you watched the weekend update, it said, hey, look, there's a shot, right? There's a shot we get a day two here and we talked about Apple, we talked about Microsoft, couple other names back to the upside, but the whole question was, and this is why today's a pretty important update, the whole question was, again, is this just a dead cat bounce or is this the start of a bottoming formation and we're gonna reclaim the 200 day moving average and all of this is gonna be forgotten very, very quickly. And just like any big prize fight, right? Let's say Ali was fighting Foreman, okay? There's gonna be a lot of trash talk.   And it's back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And here's where the back and forth stops. Eventually they have to fight. And now that we had this pretty good two day bounce and we reclaimed the five and the 10 day moving average, here is the line in the sand and this is what we've been talking about now for several weeks since the market broke down. It's the 200 day moving average.  And that's the most important part. There's no more conversational. There's no more subjective opinions. Nobody really cares right now if the bottom was right here or this is just a dead cat bounce that's gonna get rejected at the 200 day moving average.  The time to talk is over. Tomorrow is a do or die, right? Sink or swim, whatever analogies you wanna use, it's all about what happens tomorrow on the close. And if you trade stocks and you've been trading stocks for a very long time, you know the difference, right? You can see and smell the difference between what a dead cat bounces and what a real rally begins. And we always talk about the real rallies always begin where when bad news starts to get deflected, starts to get kind of embrace and throw it onto the rug. Now we have not received any bad news that got neglected but I thought today's action based on Friday's close was a pretty good step forward. And tomorrow we're not out of the woods by no stretch of the imagination. I think the close tomorrow is gonna be super duper important but at least today was a great first step we're actually second step into kind of the revival of what the bull looks like and all the stocks that gotten completely murdered and we've been talking about these names for weeks and weeks and weeks that lost 50% of the value, 30% of the value, 60% of the value. There were the stocks that had the big, big moves. If you look at names like NET, huge move, a name like coin, right?  And the question is, is it real, right? Is it real? It doesn't make a difference tonight if it's real because the scoreboard is the scoreboard and phase value is always or fair value is always the four o'clock close but now we are set up for tomorrow. And a lot of times you'll turn around and you can make a case and you can play devil's advocate of what happens next, right? Do we think the market's gonna go higher? Do we think the market's gonna go lower? There's no more talk, right? There's absolutely no more talking. Every stock pretty much looks the same tonight. If you look at every single stock they either closed above the five day moving average today, they closed above the 10 day moving average today and they're all mirroring what's going on with the QQQs and that's the most important part to understand. And a lot of times you're gonna turn around and say, well, the spies already reclaimed the 200 day moving average. Guys, keep this in mind. The spies were not the problem, okay? They were not the problem. If you look at the biggest issue areas of the market, it was the Russell, right? The Russell had a huge move lower. The QQQs had a huge move lower. So the spies is as impressive as they were to kind of reclaim the 200 day moving average and you can make a case that yeah, the spiders for tomorrow going to pull up the NASDAQ 100 and yet if you're a permable that's exactly what you wanna see but as we know in life, life's not fair, trading's not fair and we don't usually don't get or sometimes we don't get what we want. So going into tomorrow, I think if you've run through the NASDAQ 100 and you try to make a case what you like for tomorrow, I don't think you have to look far, okay? Again, like I said, I think every stock looks the same, okay? I think every single stock did a magnificent job today. It had huge, huge runs and the most important part is, are we going to close above the 200 day moving average tomorrow or are we going to get rejected off the 200 day moving average tomorrow and roll over and start this whole nonsense all the way back to the downside. Again, as we say, to be continued, right? To be continued, to be determined and as if you guys watched the old Batman, Batman movies or shows on Fox or it was a channel five or whatever it was back then, well, no tomorrow, right? Save bad time, same bad channel. So I started the day pretty late today. I had to bring my daughter to a doctor's appointment just for a checkup and all that good stuff. Everything's good, most important thing. So I was very, very late with putting in traditional pivots, but the most important part is you don't need many, right? And that's what we've realized for many, many years now because these stocks have such big average shoe ranges, it doesn't really make a difference how many names you trade. It's how many names you trade properly and we started seeing them going one by one. Obviously we talked about Apple, right? We talked about, I literally got home at the open. So I was kind of all over the place in the morning, but we talked about Apple on the weekend update show. Again, when you have a cold stock and this is kind of one of the higher probability plays. We talk about this all the time, but when you have a cold stock such as an Apple and it breaks, it has a really, really strong day like it did on Friday, one of the biggest, and people use the word gifts, but one of the biggest gifts that the market can give you is having a strong cold stock open up red. So we talked about the red to green trade and we'll talk about the pivot there in a second, but we started talking about one by one. There was only three active pivots today. Again, you couldn't keep up with everything today. A super, super bounce today on Tesla, on the rising five minute support. That was definitely the move of the day, but slowly but surely we started seeing everything exploding and when everything exploded, and today, by the way, was national no down to day on pretty much every single stock. It was very, very tough if you didn't get that opening range high literally at the open. It was very, very tough to kind of play catcher because everything was gone and you almost felt like you were chasing the price action of every single move, but the ones that confirmed today did very, very well. So let's talk about this. So here was the watch list overnight. Obviously, Disney did well, NOW, Microsoft had a run. Although Microsoft was kind of weak during the middle of the day, I had a run to 312. Apple, we talked about the red to green and opened up red when red to green right away confirmed, but this was the big one. Netflix 395, 396 needs to build. And this is where you kind of had a clue that maybe the rally was gonna be a little bit more aggressive. So here is the whole 395 channel right over here and you can see pre-market what happened here, right? This whole 395 channel and once it confirmed this whole 395 channel, this Netflix just went out of its mind, just completely, completely out of its mind. But obviously as you see, when you're doing your research, it wasn't the only one, everything would not say, especially stocks that really, really got beat up. So this thing went from 395 closed up the highs at 427s and you can see a theme here when you do your research. Most of the stocks closed right at the 10 day moving average, which is trailing the NASDAQ a little bit. But again, everything's playing catch up once the ETFs stake their claim. So that was a really, really big move. Obviously Tesla was a phenomenal, phenomenal bounce off that three, excuse me, that three, 884 rising five minutes support. Went absolutely nuts. Apple went crazy. They came for the 175 weeklies right away. 171 needs to build. I kind of thought 74, 75 was gonna be an area of interest today where it could potentially stop. So here was Apple again, took out Friday's highs. Beautiful chart here over the 50 day moving average. Here's the 60 minute view, right? This whole 71 area and just kind of grind it up the whole day and finally had this really, really big move into the 175 area to end the day. So tomorrow for Apple, this is definitely the cleanest chart that the market continues to rally. Again, like the same notes we talked about on the weekend update, use any weakness to buy this thing into rising 60 minute support or obviously a build above today's highs will do the trick as well. DWAC not a big move. 74 needs to build, I ran up about a dollar and a half or so. Again, here's the DWAC range. Traded about a buck and a half and then kind of sold off, not really here, nor there. Insane move on Netflix, 77 is 50. So the most important part today, the pivots that I was able to identify, because again, I came in late. Usually I'm nights before research. I have the pivots going in and morning prep but I just didn't have time. I got home literally. So I did the best what I could and without having the ability for us to chase any prices. So the stage is set for tomorrow. Here we are, right? Here we are guys. This is the big level. We need to close above this 365, 367 level on the queues. There's no more talking. There's no more debating. There's no more guessing. That is the area. Sink or swim, do or die. Obviously we like a lot of names going in tomorrow. And again, do your research tonight. You'll see, like I said, plenty of names that look exactly the same. I like Spotify for tomorrow. Looks interesting. Again, you see how everything stopped at the 10 day. Everything needs to confirm for the 10 day tomorrow. Spotify got upgraded today. If it could just clear out today's channel and the market continues to run, you could get a move to 204. Tesla, again, monster, monster move today stopped. Again, you can see, right? The green line at the 10 day moving average. You see the theme playing out here. Every stock needs to confirm that 10 and the queues have to reclaim the 200 for us to rally. Again, if Tesla confirms the 10 is another 20, 25 points of upside. NVIDIA all morning today. They were coming for the 245, 250s. Again, you can see here, reclaim this whole supply, has a lot of room back to the upside. Those 250 call buyers, they want to get paid, right? They want to get paid. So we definitely want to keep an eye on NVIDIA as well. Tomorrow's highlight earnings are going to be biggies, right? You're going to have tomorrow AMD. You're going to have Google tomorrow. You're going to have PayPal tomorrow. You have Starbucks tomorrow. ExxonMobil, Gilead, General Motors, and so forth, so on. So the table is set. The meal is prepared. The question is, is the food going to taste good? Are we going to send it back? Guys, have a great night. God bless and I'll see you all tomorrow.


It's hard to overstate just how many problems the Alabama Supreme Court has caused for Republicans with its IVF ruling in February Because Republicans are now in a no-win situation where basically everyone is mad at them including their core constituents of Forced Berthers. Yeah, so if you recall the National Republican Senatorial Committee almost immediately urged GOP candidates to come out in favor of IVF so that way they don't turn off any more moderates than they already have with their opposition to abortion and Soon after Donald Trump as well as a number of Republicans also vocalized support for the procedure now in the house more than 100 Republicans already cosponsored the life at Conception Act which would effectively ban IVF nationwide Which put people like Nancy Mays who cosponsored that legislation in a really awkward position After she vowed to defend IVF in the aftermath of Alabama's ruling because well the legislation that she supports would do the opposite now She tried to pretend like the life at Conception Act wouldn't do what it says it does But nobody believed her because it's just the monster be false And it's why Republicans like Michelle Steele who also vocalized support for IVF But supported the life at Conception Act with drew her support for the bill because of what it does So it's an absolute mess But in the Senate when Democrats actually gave Republicans the opportunity to prove that they support IVF well That legislation was blocked by the senator from Mississippi who claims she was worried the bill to protect IVF would lead to Scientists creating human chimera hybrids. Yeah So nationally the Republican Party has not reassured voters that they're going to protect IVF like they're saying they will Which puts them at odds with even more moderates who are still pissed off about Roe v. Wade being overturned But at the state level Republicans in Alabama actually did a good thing Which is a sentence that I never thought I would hear myself say but they did they passed a bill that would protect the procedure and essentially Shield doctors and hospitals from legal culpability So this is important because it has allowed the procedure to resume in Alabama and a Republican governor ki v signed it into law after it passed saying this about the procedure We're getting us Excuse me a slight increase in the number. Sorry. That is not the video that I intended to show you This is the ki v quote that we're looking for state lawmakers approving a bill late Wednesday That gives civil and criminal immunity to IVF clinics and patients Governor ki v quickly signing it into law saying Alabama supports growing families through IVF Now because Alabama's burp Queen signed this bill into law things are essentially back to the way they were before Alabama's ruling people who are seeking IVF can now get it again Hospitals have resumed offering this treatment and other states like Mississippi, Kentucky and Missouri have also introduced similar bills and Mississippi's GOP has actually endorsed it. So we're actually seeing movement in red states to make sure that IVF isn't blocked Which is pretty encouraging like I never thought that I would see Republicans try to do a good thing But they're actually doing it and they're not doing it because they're good people They're doing it because their asses are on the line and they've pissed off too many people at this point So Republicans at the state level they've handled this issue a lot better than Republicans at the national level But unfortunately for them, you know, no good deed goes unpunished because it's only further isolated them from their own base Because anti-abortion groups are now fucking pissed at Republicans like KIV because she decided to protect IVF And even though Republicans at the federal level haven't taken meaningful action to protect IVF The mere fact that they vocalized support for the procedure is unacceptable to forced brothers Now Politico reports quote the anti-abortion movement is turning on Republican lawmakers who support bills to protect vitro fertilization Accusing them of sanctioning murder Oh, the tables have turned Several have attacked state and federal lawmakers who introduced legislation to protect IVF after the Alabama Supreme Court ruled last month That frozen embryos are children for giving doctors a license to kill and said legislators efforts would result in Thousands of dead human beings god, they're unhinged other groups are going further running ads Against long-standing GOP allies that use the same graphic imagery blood babies and scalpels They have long deployed to oppose Democrats and the abortion rights movement quote for a lot of conservative Republican lawmakers being against Abortion has served as a kind of lazy way to say that you're a conservative Said Jameson Taylor director of policy and legislative affairs for the Mississippi based American Family Association Action frankly a lot of Republican lawmakers are not in touch with conservative principles because they have not taken Sufficient time to think through what those principles are now I want to pause for a moment because what Taylor is saying here is incredibly consequential He's saying it is no longer enough for Republicans to just be anti-abortion. In fact supporting abortion bans That's pretty easy, but the real litmus test now is going to be whether or not they are against IVF as well Yes, I'll say it again forced brothers are saying being anti IVF is part of our litmus test now that right there that position Has created a conundrum for Republicans because their own base is saying you have to be Against what the overwhelming majority of the country is in favor of so they either have to support this small but vocal fringe within their own party or Support the rest of the country now We all know their opposition to abortion has already proven to be disastrous for them But having said that though if they lose support from forced birthers, which is their own constituents Things could get even worse for them politically speaking now forced birthers are not going to go quietly into the night If Republicans don't represent them because they are very mobilized for example Let's look at the response to KIV after she signed the IVF bill into law Politico continues in Alabama the anti-abortion movement resoundingly condemned a bill shielding IVF providers from criminal and civil charges and pressure GOP governor KIV to veto it when she signs it anyway One anti-abortion organization said the new law Disrespects human life and strips human beings of their dignity and another ran digital ads against IV and Republican lawmakers using graphic imagery And accusing them of betraying life Jesus Christ quote Politicians cannot call themselves pro-life Affirm the truth that human life begins at the moment of fertilization and then enact laws that allow the callous killing of these pre-born children Simply because they were created through IVF live-action president Lila Rose said after Alabama Republicans approved the legislation But KIV is not alone because in Mississippi the anti-abortion movement and its GOP allies have called the Republican-backed Proposal to protect IVF the greatest assault on the cause of life that we've seen in Mississippi in a long time and Warned that the bad Democrat based bill would lead to backdoor abortion and possibly cloning and selling of genetic Materials of humans now when it comes to Missouri quote I've had some negative comments from extreme pro-life type folks said Missouri State Representative Bill Allen a Republican who has introduced pro IVF Legislation quote, but I'm pro life. This is bringing life into the world I think there's something to be said about that So Republicans are getting ripped to shreds for supporting IVF and they're trying to reframe their support for IVF as a Pro-life position, but forced brothers just aren't having it.  It's just hilarious Now the article goes on to explain that it hasn't gotten to the point where these groups are withdrawing support from Republicans altogether Or trying to primary them if they support IVF, but they're trying to educate these politicians Ie lobby them to support their position But I mean if you're already running ads against these Republicans things have gotten pretty bad But I mean if these GOP lawmakers remain defiant who knows what's gonna happen next Maybe we do start seeing primary challenges for real pro-life Republicans Against the ones that support IVF things could get really ugly either way this issue has created the biggest headache imaginable for Republicans And I think that now they're not gonna say this but privately They're probably thinking holy shit courting these forced brothers and evangelicals for decades was the biggest mistake We've ever made because believe it or not This wasn't always the case like forced brothers weren't always a constituency of the GOP, but you can thank Ronald Reagan for basically making this unholy alliance for lack of a better word with evangelicals and particularly the forced brothers But now these Republicans are at odds with the rest of the country after Roe v. Wade was overturned because they're Forced to defend a position that they've supported for decades that is incredibly unpopular see it was inconsequential When abortion was legal and Republicans were against it because they didn't think they'd ever be in this position But now they are and the chickens have come home to roost, but to be fair to forced birthers I do think that being anti IVF is actually the morally consistent position because if you genuinely believe That there is no difference at all between the death of an embryo and a fully developed human being then it logically Follows that manslaughter charges should come after you know one of these lives or pre-born children as they call it are destroyed Regardless if it's the abortion or miscarriage or because of IVF, you know if that doesn't result in a pregnancy I guess that's manslaughter right now I don't agree with that position that logic I think is insane to me but it's at least morally consistent which makes Republicans opposition to abortion all the more untenable because it doesn't make sense to Think that terminating a pregnancy at week nine for example is murder But yet disposing of frozen embryos isn't murder if you really do believe that life begins at conception And an embryo is a pre-born child, right?  She has decided to terminate her pregnancy, but because of Arizona's laws Doing so isn't that easy? So I'm gonna leave you with her testimony because I think it really underscores why safe and legal abortions are so important And why Americans are pissed off at Republicans for doing away with this I don't know how many of you have been unfortunate enough to experience a miscarriage before but I am not interested in going through it unnecessarily and Right now the safest and most appropriate treatment for me and the treatment that I choose is abortion But the laws that this legislature has passed has interfered with my ability to do that along with countless others And I want to explain what I mean and why I'm still pregnant as I address all of you today Despite having known about the unavoidable demise of my pregnancy and despite having been to the abortion clinic on Friday Where they were equipped and prepared to perform my abortion First I was required to have another Ultrasound at the abortion clinic as all patients seeking abortion are required to do in Arizona An ultrasound that I absolutely did not need to have I didn't have an ultrasound because my doctor thought I needed one I had one because legislation has forced me to do that an invasive Transvaginal ultrasound that I didn't want or need to have performed by someone who didn't want to have to do it I Am safe and loved and protected In my marriage But I cannot imagine how inappropriate that would be for a victim of sexual assault or for someone who has an abusive or coercive relationship with their partner Another unwanted vaginal penetration, but this time by the state by the people who are commissioned to protect us Then I got to sit through an exhaustive list of absolute disinformation that was read off to me I was told that there were alternatives to abortion Parenting or adoption among them as if delivering a healthy baby is an option for me It is not My medical provider was forced to tell me multiple things that don't apply to my situation and some that are just transparently factually false and they do this because of laws passed by this legislature in opposition to medical expert testimony and advice after the mandatory Ultrasound and the mandatory disinformation I'm then gonna have to wait at least another 24 hours after my appointment before I can have a procedure The last time that I had an abortion I started to miscarry the night before it was scheduled to take place and I was denied a Procedure in the hospital because I was deemed not critical enough in spite of the fact that my embryo had died and that my miscarriage had stalled Which left me with retained products of conception The clauses for emergencies aren't good enough these laws can serve to intimidate doctors and it muddies the waters when they're trying to make complex Decisions in situations that are really volatile. I had been bleeding and Passing huge clots for hours, but I wasn't bleeding out And I was still pregnant So I was offered medication to make me start bleeding again and told that I could have a procedure when I had bled enough the next day I went to the abortion clinic where I was able to get the care that I needed and two weeks later abortions shut clinics shut down in the wake of row and I wouldn't have been able to get my procedure. I'm choosing abortion because I'm pregnant and For reasons that I should not have to explain to you or to the church or to the state of Arizona I need to not be pregnant anymore That's the best outcome for me Arizonans deserve the freedom and the liberty to make those decisions for themselves. I will never try to force someone to have an abortion Nobody should ever try to prevent me from having mine


Okay, everyone please take a seat. Next up is Senator talking about containerizing the next desktop. Okay, hi everyone. That's way more people than I expected. Usually I have a friend who says when there's a headline asking a question, like in this case, usually the answer is no. Let's just say you're all interested in clean desktops. Who is just here for asking questions about the CORO as acquisition? Okay, so you're all actually interested in clean desktops. You can still ask questions about the CORO as acquisition later. There's gonna be enough time. Okay, so you want a clean desk to voice containerize it. It's not gonna be just to talk about using Docker and that's it. So we're gonna talk about what actually is the problem. Well, my problem is that, so when I started studying about 14, 15 years ago, there was, we had to have two operating systems because Matlab was only working on Windows with the license we got and then we had some stuff that was only working on Linux. So I was constantly reinstalling stuff or dual boating and I ended up having two computers at the end, which was pretty annoying. And then I got really obsessed with reinstalling stuff because every time I used something, I had application data that I had. It was just really annoying. So I got really obsessed with clean desktops and ended up using Gentoo a lot, which took a week to configure. I had my make, comp, and use flex all figured out but the rest just took ages. So the actual problem in the past is there's packages upon packages. You have tons of dependencies and really little control of how to use them. If you have something like Arch or Gentoo, you can maybe use another version of something but if the normal traditional distros you had, what you had, and that's it. You had to really hack into the OS to have something different. Dev environments were really annoying to set up because at some company you needed this, at the other company you needed that, or if you worked freelance or at your own time, it was, it's all really, yeah, if something breaks, you're basically fiddling around with it until you fix it or reinstall it. That was the past, right? The present right now is people who like to paint, they tweak their systems. Who has seen Jesse Frozel's post on the coroise using it on your desktop? That's actually not so many. Okay, so Jesse Frozel wrote a whole blog post about, and given talks actually about how she uses coroise on her desktop, it's not for normal humans. Even humans who use and love Gentoo, but it's still a pain, right? And people who don't like to paint, they usually run some flavor of Linux and just deal with it. People who don't care just have Windows or macOS, but yeah. The future is containers everywhere. We know it, we have to deal with it. So it's containers. They're distribution agnostic and the dependencies are included. The rest you know, and for a clean desktop, that's all we have to know. So it's basically what we want. I don't like containers at all. Two years ago, I think it was two years ago, was the first job where I was confronted with containers with Docker. I was working as a DBA or DBE actually, and we used a lot of containers. So all I had to do was basically docker run and some other stuff. I didn't really get into it, and I was like, oh, it's just gonna pass. It's really annoying. I don't have to learn it. Turns out I didn't have to because it's just everywhere now. So basically if you want a clean desktop OS, you know you have to use containers because then it's contained. What else do you need from an operating system that you want to be clean, but you wanna be able to set up stuff and if it fails, you don't want to deal with everything. You don't have the time to fix it for a week. So you want rollbacks, which is really important, and you want it to work seamlessly so you don't have to spend the week on fixing things. Ideally, it works on the server and the desktop so you don't have to take care of remembering two things. So I ended up using Gen2 on my server for a very long time, which is not recommended. It breaks often and when it breaks, yeah, you have to spend a lot of time on it. And ideally, it's also an OS that has support. I work for Red Hat, by the way. So ideally, it's an OS that has support so that you can actually tell your boss, hey, let's use this thing that I know how to use. So basically, from an operating system, we want it to be widely accepted, sort of, if you really wanna use it day to day. So let's talk about CoreOS. It's pretty cool. That's why Red Hat bought it. And we also have Atomic OS, which is basically your Red Hat's version of a container-based operating system. It's very different to CoreOS. Who has used Project Atomic like Atomic host? Okay, and who has used CoreOS? That's kind of, sort of, it looks like a 50-50. That's unexpected. So of those of you who use Project Atomic, do you use it on the cloud? One, okay, interesting. Yeah, because it's not widely available on the cloud. So for Atomic host, there are free flavors. There's a Fedora Atomic host, there's a Rail Atomic host, and a CentOS Atomic host.  Atomic host runs on RPM OS tree. So the RPM OS tree uses, who knows RPM OS tree? Sorry, just like, okay. Okay, so RPM OS tree provides atomic updates and rollbacks, which means basically, if your power goes out, you will be able, if your power goes out while you're updating, you're gonna have the old version. If you're updating, it's an atomic update. It's the one thing, the one file tree snapshot. It updates, and you can roll it back. So you'll see if you do the status. In the terminal, you'll see commits from all the updates you did. And you can always revert to another commit, because basically, if something went wrong, you will be able to roll back, which is really important. CoreOS has the same, obviously. Let's talk a little bit about CoreOS and Atomic host as a comparison. So CoreOS uses update engine, and Atomic host uses RPM OS tree as their underlying mechanism. CoreOS is one nice thing which Atomic host doesn't have.  But one really, really striking feature is auto rollback, which Atomic host doesn't have. So when you have, for example, if something breaks, CoreOS will notice it that the machine didn't boot up, and it will auto roll back, and boot up with the rollback version. That's pretty nice. RPM OS tree, for example. On the other hand, Atomic host provides you with an easy way to a workstation, which is what we're actually talking about today, the Atomic workstation. Specifically, Fedora Atomic workstation. I also have a colleague with me, Patrick, whose last name I can't pronounce. Do you want to say it? Okay. Basically, he's the second user for Fedora Atomic workstation ever. How long have you been using it? A few years. So that's pretty good. We have a few Atomic workstation users outside of Red Hat, and quite a few of us use it. So we're basically testing it extensively. If you want to test it, you can talk to me afterwards. Docs for Atomic workstation are coming by mid-February. So, yeah. So CoreOS and Atomic host, there's a lot of differences, but this is not a talk about it. Current admins don't know either that well. And there's a lot of learning and adapting to do, which is going to be more interesting now with the news of the acquisition. So we're going to see what happens with that. A little bit about RPM OS tree. Why not containerize all the things? Why is there a layer, like why can you use RPM still? Package installation is critical for drivers. It's hard to containerize all the things. And basically, RPM OS tree provides you with a way to hack a little bit into the West, which CoreOS doesn't give you CoreOS as one piece. And then you put containers on it, right? They're not really meant for desktop. Whereas with RPM OS tree, you can use RPMs. You can basically pack, we call it package layering. So you can RPM install, RPM OS tree install a package that is packed in an RPM. So about atomic workstation. If you download the ISO and just like install it like you would, for example, Fedora, it looks exactly like Fedora. You won't see the difference. But underlying, it uses RPM OS tree. It works and it provides automatic updates. The issue for actually closing the issue for actually enabling the automatic updates, I think it's not quite done yet. They haven't decided yet if they're gonna enable it. Is it true? Yeah, but it's there. So it's working. So probably in the next few weeks they're gonna enable it. It provides immutability and isolation, which you exactly have with a container-based OS. It's important to not have the file system writable. You can, it's the var slash var is writable. The rest isn't. But you can hack into it. There's a command with which you can still write to the system if you want to. It's basically like a git for workstation, which is, as I said, you have the commits and you can roll back. That's really important for if something goes wrong.  So if your system works, you delete the rest and it's all gone. Because it's just a snapshot, no extra data. So what's with flatpacks? Who knows flatpacks? Yay. Okay, so flatpacks, they're nice. I love them. They're awesome. But if you really want a clean system, they're not quite the way to go. I mean, flatpacks are great if you just wanna quickly install stuff. But the problem if you want a really clean system is that they still save a bunch of data in your home and in your other folders. You can see it in the FAQ for flatpacks where stuff is saved. You can always delete it when you uninstall a flatpack. But what really bothers me is that I am always worried that something is gonna be installed somewhere else. So I don't quite like that. That means containers it is, even if you don't like them. Personally, I don't like Docker very much because it has this daemon and I like to not have to run an extra, which is also why I don't use Java anymore. I just would like to have the Java VM on. But we have Builder in Project Atomic. And with Builder, you can use Docker files to build OCI compliant containers. But you don't have to use Docker files. You can also build it from scratch. It's great. It's not Docker and it has no daemon requirement. So if you make a container, you can run it and there's no daemon in the background. But it's Linux only. So if you wanna use it on macOS and Windows, you can't do that. But yet, unless you make a pull request, it's always welcome to contribute. So if you wanna have Builder available on the other systems, you're welcome to contribute. I just wanna show you quickly. So basically, if you use Fedora Atomic Workstation, you can install Builder. And then you have all the tools needed. You can install flatpacks. You can install RPMs if you want to. And you can create containers with Builder. That's basically all you need for a clean desktop OS. I'm just gonna quickly show you how Builder would work. So I mean, there's a Getting Started blog post on the Project Atomic website with clear steps. I left out a few like installing it, for example, which is just like an RPM. But there's also a description of how to install it from source. So you will, for example, say I want a new container and I tell Builder to build it from scratch, not from a Docker file. Then it builds it from scratch. It creates a meta data file. Then you mount it, which you see in the second line. And if you echo the scratch mount, you will see where it's actually located. It's in var. This is not really visible. It says Builder run. And then you run the new container before that you have to install Bash Core Utils. So I installed Bash and Core Utils, like it's in the tutorial. And then you can run the container and inside the container you have the Bash. So you can just do all the stuff that you can with Bash and Core Utils. And that's your first container, basically. But, so for example, if you wanna then run something inside the container, you could, for example, as described in the tutorial, you make a script file, which is just this, as it's mentioned in the tutorial. So you make it executable and with Builder copy, you copy it over to the container. Then you tell the container to run when the container, you tell the script to run when the container runs. And that's what happens. So you do Builder run new container and then it just runs the script that you did. So you built your first container in just a few easy steps and no daemon required. And now we're gonna come to the takeaway. So Fedora Atomic Workstation exists. It's pretty cool. And you can keep your desktop very clean with it. It uses RPMOS tree. Atomic host is for server and Atomic Workstation for desktop. You can also be crazy and use Atomic host. I actually tried it, Atomic host as a workstation, but it doesn't even have the wireless modules installed because it's obviously not needed. It's lightweight as much as it gets and on a server you don't need wireless modules. So none of that's installed. So if you don't have an ethernet, for example, you will need to get your wireless modules on a USB stick there and then you can use the rest. So it's a little bit more complicated than just installing Fedora Atomic Workstation. So Fedora Atomic Workstation is a mix and match of RPMs, flat packs, and containers. And that's basically it from me about this talk. If you wanna contribute or if you wanna join the working group for Atomic, we're in the IRC Free Note pound Atomic. Website and Twitter handle are also here and we're really happy about contributions. And I think we can go to the questions now. 10 minutes for questions. Who's first? Oh, there's one all over there. Does it have X or Wayland or Mir? So it contains both. Do you wanna come out? As the second user of Atomic Workstation. Cause I've just been using it for like two months, so. What's the performance difference compared with the bare metal? Pretty much none because the bits you run are pretty much the same as you would have with a normal for a workstation. The main difference is the actual deployment mechanism which doesn't add too much of red and is in a lot of case actually faster. So how do we get started using it? Okay, so the docs that are, for now you can search engine, Fedora Atomic Workstation, but it's really hard to find the ISO. For now, because you have to go through several links, by 15th of February there's gonna be proper documentation on it on the Project Atomic website. And for now you can still download the ISO. It's just a little harder to find if you search for it. But you can come to me later. I actually have a USB stick with it on me. So if someone wants to try it right away, I have it. Put a USB stick. First come, first serve. Okay, there was a question about that thing, right? Okay, you get the mic after. Well, for gaming I still use Windows. I have an extra machine. I want the performance, you know? But yeah, no, I just, I read just when I spin up at that environment and I have that and then it's gone. So basically it's all in one container. Atomic is literally the only thing I've ran for a number of years, but I don't really game all that much myself. So how do you deal with the display manager or like how do you expose the X-Window system or Wayland to the containers and where does the X-Window or Wayland run? Is it running on host or? For applications, for desktop applications, I tend to use Flatpak, which takes care of that part. I've played around with getting Xorg and not Wayland. For, I literally used two graphical applications of like terminal and browser, which are both built into the main atomic workstation. So. And for me, I just have Gimp and Inkscape and like most of that stuff is, you have almost everything I use is in Flatpaks. And even if it's not, there's a good at Defconn last week, there was a really good introduction on how to create Flatpaks. So if you just check out the uploads for Defconn, there's three or four good talks about Flatpaks and how to actually create them and even upload them to Flatpap. So two quick questions, number one, how does the rollback work technically? But the FS or something like that? No, technically, when you update, it deploys a full new deploy a second deployment with links back to the actual repository. So it doesn't take up too much space, but basically you have the entire file system of pre and post upgrade available. And it just switches which one it mounts into your slash. And second question, let's assume there's a security update for a base library. How long does it take to update all the containers and how much work is it? Sorry, say again. So let's say there's a security update for a base library that exists in each and every container. How much work is it to get it fixed everywhere and how long does it take? That is something up to the distribution point of your container. And I don't know about others. I do know that in Fedora containers, we are currently like the average for between landing like a security fix in packages and containers going out is two hours at this point. How long it will then take for you to update is up is depending on your bandwidth. Any other question? Probably not. Thank you.


What's going on everybody welcome back to another video and with the French open only just around the corner I thought it'd be a good idea to go through all the WTA players that are serious contenders and players to watch out for at the French open some players that maybe some of you haven't thought of on the women's side of tennis of course We've got the big names and the big guns, but there's some players that have been sneaking through the drawers of smaller tournaments Getting some clay court wins So let's go have a look at the list of the players that you should be watching out for at the French open Let's start with the obvious one Ash Barty the world number one She is the joint defending champion because she didn't play last year and defend her title So she's defending the points that she made at the 2019 French open her preparations have been great this year 13 wins only three losses and she has the one title as well on the clay which was at the Stuttgart open And she also made the final of the Madrid open some really good wins there and to go with that She's got some big wins over really good quality players including Sabalenka She's beaten her Svettelina as well and the reigning French open champions fjantex So she has some really big wins over some key contenders that are happening at the French open So that'll give her a lot of confidence going in to next week Let's have a look at one of the players is outside of the top 20. Coulda Matova She started the clay court season on fire She's won 13 matches and she's only lost the three and like I said won that title in Charleston She also made a semi-final of Eastam Bulls She's had some great form going into the French open and she's got some big wins She's beaten Mertens, Bodosa and Burton so some really good clay court players in that mix as well So definitely want to watch out for being the 30th in the world means that she's going to be a lower seed But she will avoid those big names until at least the third round So the draw plays out watch out for Coulda Matova another player that is outside of the top 30 Paula Bodosa she has just snuck under the radar this season But she has some big wins over big players again 13 wins only the two losses on the clay including a title That title being at the Serbia open and she also made the semi-finals of the Madrid open But again, she has some big wins over good clay court players. She's beaten Benchich She's been the world number one Ash Barty, which is definitely a good win and also Sevastova So some really big wins there for Bodosa She is on the verge of being seeded for that event 34 in the world But there's 32 seeds so she might just sneak in and get a seed at this event Which means she'll avoid those big names early next play to watch out for pretty obvious one Egas Fjontek the favorite to win the French open according to the bookies She's currently world number nine obviously defending champion as well She's had eight wins only the one loss on the clay this season And she also won a title as well Which was last week back in Rome winning that final against Pliscava six love six love She also made the third round of the Madrid open as well some big wins on the clay She's beaten fellow top ten players Fetalina and Pliscava and also beaten Coco Gough Which is a good win because golf has been in a little bit of form lately on the clay as well So obviously got to watch out for the defending champion speaking of golf. She's number 25 in the world She's a career high-ranking at the moment definitely want to watch at the French open She's won 12 matches on the clay only three losses. She has that one title She won last week back in Parma. She also made the semi-finals of the Rome open as well And she has some big wins over good clay court players She's beaten Sabalenka a player that's been in a lot of form this season obviously beating Barty as well and Sakari so she's got some good wins and with that title back in Parma last week She's going into the French open with a bit of a win streak and she'll definitely be seated Going into the French at number 25 in the world So watch out for Coco Gough and the final play to watch out for is arena Sabalenka She's the world number four currently so she will be seated number three because remember Samona Hella the number three in the world has pulled out of the French open So Sabalenka is going to be top three and if she gets a good draw She might be put down in the bottom half where she'll play Osaka who we know isn't great on the clay She's got 11 wins two losses on the year including the one title that title being a big one the Madrid open a huge title on the WTA she also meant the final Stuttgart losing to Ash Barty in that one But the most impressive thing about Sabalenka this season on the clay has been the wins She's beaten Hella in a very dominating performance She also beat Ash Barty in the final of Madrid and also Pagula who has been a really good player in 2021 So Sabalenka is definitely one to watch out for especially if she gets a good draw get put in the bottom half with Osaka Because I don't expect Osaka to do too much at the French open this year But Sabalenka she gets a good draw Semifinals are hers for the taking so there they are the players that I'm most excited to watch out for during the French open Let me know down in the comments below though Is there anyone that I've missed are there any players that you are excited to watch out for WTA so wide open all of those players could lose in the first round that is an absolute possibility But I'm expecting them to do great things But again, let me know down in the comments below. Are you excited to maybe watch Serena on the clay? Maybe Osaka maybe she can turn her form around she hasn't been in great form on the clay We all know that the French open starts next week and those are the players that I'm most looking forward to on the women's side


Hello friends and welcome back to another episode of our VGC 2020 battle series My name is Lee also known as Osiris and in today's episode. We're gonna be featuring a Gigantamax Grim snarl team a very fun team I've been doing a bit of work around it the last couple of weeks trying to get it to work and but Hopefully this is the the article the finished article that we're gonna have anyway the team consists of the Gigantamax Grim snarl We've got the hitman top the arcanine wrote and wash ferrathorn and sylvian so it's all based like I say around the Gigantamax Grim snarl basically We're utilizing its ability pickup To proc a weakness policy and between either the hitman top with its bullet punch or the sylvian with its Quick attack and so when you do that we can also pass an item over so if it's sylvian We can pass the the bit berry berry that we've got on there or the life orb from hitman top So you get a weakness policy boost with a life orb which makes Grim snarl extremely powerful We've got our first opponent. So let's see what we can do Okay, right. Well, we've got Todomaru Primerina ex-good drill incineral dragon pull and got to tell Grim snarl doesn't look too bad here Honestly, I mean the Primerina can give us a few issues as well as the ex-good drill And I'm more worried about the Primerina Todomaru lead and more than anything else Just because the the Todomaru can fake out a hitman top and potentially stop our bullet punch into a Grim snarl And but the thing is not many people expect Gigantamax Grim snarl. So you would kind of think well if we're gonna fake out anything probably gonna fake out the Grim snarl Right, so we might get away with it that way. So we'll start off. We'll go there a Lead there. What else do we need? Votels are we gonna bring Sylvia and be good here. I Think Farathona be Decent and maybe Rotem Yeah, we'll go rot we'll go Rotem wash Because we got the dog pulse the nasty plot on there And as always my friends if you stick around till the end of the episode There will be the rental team of this team for you guys to try out yourselves and have a bit of fun on the ladder Because it is a lot of fun. I've had a few games with it this morning already and Yeah, when you get it working it works perfectly and the big selling point is you can One-shot a Gigantamax Lapras with power from this Gigantamax Grim snarl So we'll see if we can do the same to this Primerina It's competitive got the tell at least we're not trapped so Competitive got the tell my god. All right. Well, we're gonna go for it We're gonna drag out at max go for the max overgrow and we're gonna go for the cheeky old bullet punch Because we should outspeed the Primerina. That's the thing We've just put enough speed investment in grim snarl to to get the jump on the majority of kind of these middle Middling tier speed tier Pokemon. Does that make sense? It doesn't my head anyway, so okay anyway If anything gigantic old Dynamax is on the opposite side of the field at least we know we're gonna be faster Because we're going first, so that's a nice indicator to start with Just worry about the got to tell maybe faking out. I hit one top Are you gonna do that? Hopefully not Oh Come on Could I ask for a better start this episode? So there's a weakness policy boost and then the pickpocket will activate straight after this is beautiful and then we steal the life orb and You know like weakness policy alone. It's not strong enough, right? But if you add on a little bit of a life orb on top of that There you go Get rid of it just like that except the grassy terrain will recover a little bit of that life orb chip damage as well, which is super nice and We're sitting in a pretty nice position right now You know hit my top isn't trapped in by the got to tell we know we can knock that thing out the next turn And we'll see what my opponent brings in. They've still got their Dynamax in the bag So we need to be a little bit careful for that Hopefully this is a nice nice just clean one for us to kick off with that would be good and Okay, so talking tomorrow coming in I would imagine we'll probably see a nuzzle here I'll go for the max news and Do we want to keep topping? Probably get psychic Well, no, we won't we well potentially could if Grimstone gets nuzzled here Because we could potentially just staying close combat there talking tomorrow It might not be a bad shout because we can potentially take it down to its sash Yeah, that I mean that makes sense. I like we probably lose top here. Oh That's way better, okay, I didn't expect top to actually outspeed the the Gotha tell If you go and competitive you kind of want to go a bit faster, maybe but I Don't mind that at all. So there's a psychic Yeah, it's like plus two so we're not gonna be taking that No, no, no, but You do get the G max snooze off It's not gonna have its secondary effect because we just pick up the knockout only works on the actual Pokemon that you're targeting So it doesn't actually work on the partnering for more Pokemon the own kind of effect and Surprisingly, it's like a 50% chance normally I'm care on things, but stuff that does survive. I Am I've not actually had to activate once which is kind of interesting. So Here we get fairer in You know what my opponent's last Pokemon is drag drag, okay well, let's just go for the G max snooze again and I Guess we probably want to get rid of tug-of-morrow so we can body press that slot I guess we need to worry about if the dragon pot has like flamethrower something like that could take down the first one, but grim snarls pretty safe right now The interest and see what the dragon book goes for Fantastic, maybe maybe just to get the fence drop. I guess would be useful Tog-of-morrow because okay, there's a max flare because we do have to worry about potentially Ironhead as well coming in from the tug-of-morrow You know it's still gonna Do some decent damage we should we should take it much just things happen and Yeah, we don't get fully paralyzed that could have been a little bit of a crux in that plan for sure, but And it's fine it's all good now and Yeah, we're gonna be able to wrap this one up pretty easy You got Rotem sitting in the back to come in and Rotem's gonna be able to to deal with tug-of-morrow pretty easily and grim snarls not in the worst position You know, I think if the tug-of-morrow had iron head it probably would have used it that last turn So there's a little indicator that it may not have iron head zing zap nuzzle bake out spiky shield potentially, I don't know I mean, we'll just go for spirit break and We'll just go dark balls. There's no need to set up or anything like that The ball was cancelled G max grim snarl we get our first win Okay, it's not the easiest Pokemon to build a team around for sure and I kind of I didn't want to just build a generic team Just like G max grim snarl without any flair or any style points And I hopefully this kind of ticks all the boxes for all the style points And and I hope you're enjoying it so far like I say it's a very fun team and it's a nice way to utilize maybe one of the underlucked Abilities on on their grim snarl. Okay, so we've got our next opponent of the episode and they are playing a team of Gastron mudsdale Conkelder the Incinero grim snarl and ferrathorn So it looks like super hard trick room without a trick room setter So I'd say They're heavily reliant on I guess that kind of decent synergy the teams got between itself and the typing and then Speak control from the grim snarl for sure With T wave, it's got to be the only thing that they're able to do. I guess the swagger combination between grim grim snarl and mudsdale is a thing But I mean you can probably nuke the mudsdale if it does come out I'm gonna go with that same kind of trial and test the lead The lead of the team they hit my top grim snarl about what we want in the back to deal with everything else after that ferrathorn Okay, well, I think we go ferrathorn here Although we do struggle a little bit Like huh, are we better just actually not bringing ferrathorn and bringing maybe sylvian can deal with the The Gastron the Conkelder and the the grim snarl pretty well And I'm sure we have mystical mystical fire as well, which we can yeah, which we can kind of deal with a ferrathorn No We didn't lock it. It's all right. It's all right. It's all right. We've got we've got Rotam and and Arcanine Which can still do your job Would have liked the sylvian I think Okay Talk way too much and then time just runs away from me. It's always the same. I'm sure we'll be fine. Whatever whatever happens here Okay, the intimidates not ideal Neat incident one of the things I was thinking about in the team was melodic just to kind of Really put off these intimidates from from cycling in and out onto a grim snarl so much, but Yeah, we'll max off all and we'll go for the the bullet punch into the grim snarl Imagine the incineroar feel like hmm. There is fake out everywhere Like on my opponents like fake out both both And you know the incineroar probably doesn't feel like it wants to go for a fake out See maybe a parting shot there Grim snarl might go for screens or thunder wave could even go for a swagger, you know and to Into the incineroar slot and switchy incineroar hard switch it out to mud steal that would make a lot of sense Okay, we're gonna see the ferrathorn hit the field. It's fine There's a weakness policy G max snooze will still they'll still pick up the kill onto the ferrathorn The one worrying thing though is that ferrathorn Could max and start going for those Nasty nasty. Oh, wow. Okay, is this another G max grim snarl? No way No way Hopefully we're faster It is okay Head-to-head This grim snarl is better than the other I guess it'll come down to who's is faster really But we might be able to take an attack from them We get the bullet punch off We proc our weakness policy if we're faster. Hopefully we are we'll steal pickpocket activate steal a lipo perfect and We're faster and we'll see Good night to the opposing frame snarl. So that's dealt with pretty nicely. Okay and we get the terrain up to prevent any sort of status shenanigans going forward we know that the The ferrathorn comp max now, which is really good for us. We have to be careful of it Of course because of the iron defense Incineroar. No Gastrodon What do I worry about more?  I think like that. I do worry about that a little bit Hmm, I think we want to get rid of the gastrodon because It's gonna be the one thing that is a little bit more difficult for like alcanine and Rotem to deal with so if we can just deal with that now get out of the way I think the end of this match becomes a bit easier to close down. We see the protect on the ferrathorn and Probably fearing double up there From there at the close combat and whatever we throw out from grim snow Do you see a rind or berry, but I don't think this makes any difference too strong and then the incineroar to come back in and we've got one more turn of our Gigantamax we are back down to Just neutral now with the the additional intimidate and But the thing is Right now it doesn't really matter too much of what my opponent does if we can take down the incineroar this next turn Then it does mean that Arcanine's pretty free to just deal with the ferrathorn so Yeah, I can say that kind of gets rid of our weakness policy boost a Double intimate it there. I think if as my opponent maybe would have been better bringing in the incineroar a Little bit earlier. We'll go for the maxed off all into that slot and yeah, we'll just double up into the incineroar Ferrathorn's likely to get an attack off, but I don't think it's gonna be yeah. Yeah, it's a fake out And I think just with the life over loan this maybe enough To get the incineroar. No, not quite. Okay. What's a ferrathorn gonna do iron defense gyro ball? Diabol would make sense On an iron head. Okay, well, we do just about take that Wow, correct. Okay Dynamite turns finished, but I mean we're gonna be able to get rid of the incineroar now It's very break and go for the close combat into the ferrathorn. I Like I say even though we timed out we got our leads at the top it's fine So that worked out and we just kind of had to adjust our game plan a little bit With the arcanine and then roto in the back rather than silvian and maybe arcanine It's very break enough. We'll probably lose Grimsnall here, but I mean it's picked up three chaos so we can't really complain It's done pretty well pluck on that And this team not gonna be doing that much damage But enough but enough We just need the arcanine in and we can clean this one up But yeah ferrathorn like I went for a special arcanine Just because of the the kind of recent spike in ferrathorn usage and you're seeing a lot of the ferrathorn at the minute use And iron defense Just to bolster those defenses. So if you're physical arcanine and you can't get it in quick enough It makes taking ferrathorn down very difficult with something like flablet So I kind of just wanted to not really entertain that and the The flamethrower kind of made a bit more sense on this team anyway for something like ferrathorn It could be otherwise a little bit more problematic We'll go for the flamethrower and just another plus combat and that should be game set and match Then we can do this rental cord for you guys my opponent thinking about We've gone for the cheeky protect Yeah, well Just detecting what we've got they might have an ochreberry you never know they may do You never know what they've got No, of course, if you paid more attention in the previous 10, we would have seen that they just had left of us But I mean scouting out what we've got move wise makes sense. Although it's kind of inevitable now There's not really a lot you can do As the flamethrower will come out and pick up Should be a knockout. There we go. So a nice clean win Grim snog got three of the knockouts arc and I coming in just to clutch this one out But good game to Dabby and I hope you guys have enjoyed it So like I said, what we'll do we'll hop over to the rental code right now Okay friends, we're gonna create this rental team for you all to try out and here it is so I hope you have a lot of fun with it if you do try it out Remember there are two modes to the team with the leads in particular I think if you're facing down against something like Durant the sylvian grim snarls quite a nice lead there You do have obviously the ability to intimidate Oh no, no, no, no, we don't want that. We just want to check it We want to check the ability to intimidate with the hitman top lead but Being able to proc the weakness policy on the grim snarl Passed it over the the beberry berry with the pick the pickpocket ability Just means that you take the the steel spikes from Durant And then you can chaotic in return with like the the gmax snooze, which is a really nice play and kind of removing Durant From your opponents side before it can actually get any knockouts is a huge thing And if you lose sylvian in the process there, then you know, it's not bad You're still sitting with a pretty good full health grim snarl Hopefully depending on the partner of the the Durant obviously You've got to be a little bit careful around things like follow me, but I think you've got enough in the team to kind of um You know, you've got other options. You've got the rotom you got the arcanine that help against stuff like Tug of kiss and arcanine generally is good against most redirection pokemon just to disrupt Got the safeguard there to help out against sleeping things that are a bit of a pain to deal with and you also have the the gmax Move very move to get the terrain up with grim snarl to get around status and things like that So Hope you enjoy the team if you do try it out Let me know of course if you've enjoyed the episode as always do drop a like on the video Do subscribe to channel for more pokemon content and we'll leave it there I'll see you all for another one very soon. So until then my friends take care and bye. Bye

So congratulations to everybody who is doing so amazing with the macros and calories. As always, nutrition coaching is down in the description box if it's something that you're interested in having done for you. I also continued my typical seven days of working out. I did do a little bit of shifting of my strength training. So on Mondays and Fridays, I actually drive to the gym, do the elliptical for 30 minutes and then do some strength training. On Wednesdays, I walk to the gym, do my strength training and walk home. Well, I was doing leg day on Wednesday and by the time I was ready to walk home, my legs felt like jello. So I thought this week, why don't you do leg day on a day that you drive to the gym? So what I did this week is I did leg day on Monday and then I did upper body on Wednesday and I'll do upper body today. And that really has been a big game changer for me because when I walk home on Wednesdays now, I actually can walk really fast and get in my typical movement and heart rate walking rather than having my legs feel like jello. So that was a really smart for me just to tweak it a little bit that better fits what I need. I did really well with my food this week considering that I am about to start my cycle. I mean, any day now, either today, tomorrow, it should be starting. And the week leading up to that is when I'm generally the most hungry. Let me know down in the comments, how does that work for you? Once my cycle starts, I'm good. I definitely don't have the cravings and the hunger that I do the week before.  I also mentioned to you guys last week that I actually upped my calories and upped my protein. Even though I didn't lose weight last week, I upped everything this week. And that was a really good decision because it definitely helped with the hunger that I had this week. And eating that little bit of protein, I feel like helped my body recover from my workouts a little bit faster as well as, again, kept me full and satisfied when I had a little bit of extra hunger. When I checked in with my fitness coach last Friday, she didn't change anything for this week. I actually sent my check into her this morning. So we'll see if there'll be any changes for the current week. But I'm just continuing to do my seven days of moving my body, three days of strength training, two days of the elliptical, and then the other five days a week I get to walk outside, which is really truly what I look most forward to and what really makes me excited about getting in my movement every day is to be able to walk outside. It's just so nice to get the vitamin D, hear the birds chirping, and again, where I live is beautiful. So the walking paths are so good and it makes it so easy to walk. So overall, I feel like my week was a huge success. But before we jump into my weigh-in, did I lose weight? Did I gain weight? Did I say the same weight? Let's talk about this week's WW Workshop topic because it's a good one. And that is to how to feel more in control even when you're not. Life can go from I totally got this to what the, in a matter of minutes. When this happens, we need to reset. We need to correct course before it gets even more out of control. So these tips from WW will help you to maintain control even when everything is out of control. Step number one, when you're feeling out of control, make three separate lists. Number one, what you cannot control or influence, whether you're stressed stems from heavy stuff, setting world news or heavy to you stuff like emergency dental work that's messing with your routine, these are things that you cannot change and you cannot control. List number two, what can you influence? Zero in on something related you can do, however minor. For example, you can't fix the world's problems but you can donate to organizations doing good work or if you're forced to skip your usual workout class, thanks Chiptooth, you could still go for a walk. And number three, write down what you can control. Lastly, focus on what you can do or change right now, like limiting social media or your news intake or clearing your work schedule and picking up some soft zero point foods and ice cream for dinner. We have a lot of things in our life that we can't control. There are things that spiral out of control that we really have no control over but there are a lot of things in our life that we can control and those are the things that we need to focus on. We need to have an action plan or a game plan to control what we can control when life's out of control. How many times can I say control? Step number two is take a deep breath and then take some action. Direct your focus to the present and then channel your attention and energy only to the things that you have influence or control over. So you can control and you can influence, I can't control or influence, scratch that out. It doesn't really matter because you have zero control or influence over it. So focus on what you do have influence over. So let's dive a little bit deeper. Who considers themselves a control freak? 100%. The term gets thrown around, like we get upset if we can't control things or if things happen that we don't decide on or have control over but that's not necessarily what a control freak means and being a control freak isn't necessarily a bad thing. Most of us love to feel like we're steering the ship or we have a little bit of internal control over what's going on around us.  You can do nothing about them. So there's zero reason to dwell on them or let them have a negative impact on you because after all, you can't control them. Shifting your focus to the present and what you can influence and control I promise you is going to be a huge game changer in your weight loss success. It helps us basically adjust our sales and move forward. Maybe we have to chart a completely different course or start a whole new journey in general. If it doesn't work, which is totally normal by the way this is where you make some changes. Make sure that you're implementing and prioritizing things that are fun to you. Maybe it's taking a yoga class or swimming at your local pool or having a beach day. Make sure that you're implementing those things into your life as well because when life is out of control or feels like everything is a big mess having something positive that's good for you that you can look forward to can be a huge, huge game changer. So I really like this topic because I know for me, like I said, I am a control freak. I am very type A. I make lists. I like things in their place. I like having a schedule. I mean, we know this. We know that I'm very schedule oriented and I will find myself getting really frustrated if things don't go my way or if something throws me off kilter. So this topic not only is really good for me. Overall, I think it's good for every single one of us. We all have things in our life that happen that throw us out of our routine. And instead of giving in and indulging in those times of chaos, really work with these WW tips to get yourself back on course and stay on course. That's how you're going to reach your goals. So now let's jump in to my weigh-in. Like I mentioned, I was a little extra hungry this week. It's the week before my cycle, but I worked out. I stayed on plan and I forgot to mention I drank my water every single day which I'm very, very proud of. I ate my extra calories, I ate my extra protein and guess what? Eating more to lose weight works. When I stepped on the scale today, I am down not one, but two pounds. After maintaining this last week, I dropped two pounds this week. I will go ahead and put my total weight loss here on the screen for you. And as always, I'm inching closer and closer to my overall goal. I've actually been getting a lot of questions on whether I'm at my goal weight. No, I am not at my goal weight. Trust me, when I get there, you will know. I've also been asked what my starting weight was, what my current weight is. I've chosen at this time not to share that information. Once I get to goal weight, we'll go over all of my stats and I'll be able to actually share with you all of the numbers. It's pretty personal and honestly, it's not ever something I would ask anybody to share unless they're comfortable. So stay tuned, I'll be sharing all that information with you when the time is right for me. But I'm thrilled, thrilled, thrilled with two pounds down and inching closer and closer to my overall goal. I do have a number in mind before I go to Hawaii in September, but I also mentioned last week that I'm really not focused on the scale. And my fitness coach also reminded me not to be focused on the scale because with all the strength training and exercise, the scale can really be affected. And I'm really trying to focus more on how my body feels, how my body looks, how I'm fitting into my clothes. But I'm not gonna lie, I have a little goal in mind for my trip to Hawaii in September. So of course I'll keep you guys posted on how that goes as well. So now I wanna hear from you guys. Let me know how your week was. Did you gain, did you lose? Do you find yourself getting really stressed out when you can't control situations?  No shame in that game because I am definitely a control freak. Of course, give this video a thumbs up.
