A highlight from NEW CFTC CRYPTO REGULATION PROPOSAL! LBRY APPEALS SEC - PALAU XRPL FUD, POLYGON MATIC TOKENIZATION

It supports the podcast and it doesn't cost you anything. Well, folks, we've got big news coming out of the CFTC. CFTC Commissioner Caroline Pham is proposing that the agency roll out a pilot program to start regulating the crypto markets. Folks, this is great. This is what leadership looks like and how these regulators should be working with the crypto industry. But of course, we're dealing with scumbag regulator Gary Gensler, who has been using regulation by enforcement, has politicized the SEC and really thrown the market into a mess. Right. A lot of entrepreneurs and companies are leaving the United States because they don't have clarity. But we know Gary is corrupt. He's a puppet on strings. He's doing the bidding of his masters on Wall Street. Many of the tradfi incumbents who are getting disrupted are using Gary Gensler. They weaponize them to go after crypto startups to kill them. Right. Not that crypto is going to be killed or crypto is not here to stay, but rather move these startups so that his tradfi buddies can come in and take over. So I tweeted out, this is an awesome this is awesome and what real leadership looks like. And this is reasonable. It's a proposal that makes sense to work with the industry and figure out how things are working with different crypto companies and much more. So let me give you the details of what she's proposing. The U .S. watchdog for derivatives markets could create a limited pilot program for regulating crypto currencies, said Caroline Pham, one of the members of the CFTC. Here's a quote. I'm recommending a time limited CFTC pilot program to support the development of compliant digital asset markets and tokenization, said Caroline Pham, who told or who holds one of the Republican seats on the five person commission in remarks prepared for a Cato Institute event on Thursday. Now, there's some more details here. After holding a roundtable, gather ideas. She said the agency should set up a program for a specific period of time that incorporates many of the components drawn from the past pilot programs, including registration and eligibility requirements, financial resources and other conditions, risk management, products and contract terms and other requirements, including disclosures and reporting. Pham, who leads the CFTC Global Markets Advisory Committee and established its subcommittee on digital assets, has suggested a number of crypto initiatives since she passed her purse, her counterpart at the SEC to host joint crypto roundtables with the two regulators. But the CFTC is led by Chairman Ralston Benham, a Democratic appointee who hasn't embraced an industry friendly posture for the agency. So you kind of have some issues here with Ralston Benham, who's like Gary Gensler, Democrat appointed, and they are doing the bidding of the Biden administration, which has not been crypto friendly, but they can't stop this train. The genies out of the bottle, they may slow it down. Don't get me wrong, but they can't stop the strain. Crypto is greater or I should say bigger than just the United States. Other countries, markets and regions are embracing the technology or passing crypto regulations. We saw the EU and the UK do this. So things are moving ahead. We just need Congress to act here. But I love this proposal by Commissioner Pham. This is what once again, real leadership looks like. And these folks, the regulators should be working with the industry, working closely to figure out how can we get this right, right? Work with the good actors, weed out the bad actors. So we don't have an FTX and a Celsius situation again. But once again, you've got the corrupt rat scumbag that is Gary Gensler, who has the entire market in a mess. And we need Congress to act, folks. And we need to support folks like Commissioner Pham and Hester Person, many more to help get the message across that there is not clarity in the market and regulation by enforcement does not work. Now, before we continue, a quick word from our sponsor, and that is linked to, which makes private equity investment easy. Linked to is a great platform that I personally use. They allow you to get access to companies before they go public, before they do an IPO within their portfolio includes different verticals such as crypto, AI and FinTech. Now, I'm, of course, interested in the crypto companies. And there are many, many very big names here from the crypto industry, such as Circle, Ripple, Chainalysis, Dapper Labs, Polysign, Ledger and many more. So great platform to get access to equity and diversify your portfolio. It's really an opportunity that has not been open to retail investors in the past, folks, because you had to be part of a hedge fund or some investment firm to get access to equity before these companies go public. So really, really great opportunity. So be sure to check out link to link will be in the description. All right. Next big news we got here is that library. Yes, the library, which, you know, they lost their case. They have filed a notice of appeal. Very interesting and very smart because what has been taking place over the past two months with Ripple's victory and Grayscale's victory shows there is weakness and there's more case law. Now, when I say weakness, weakness on the SEC's narrative, their attempt to try to kill good actors and crypto startups. And obviously the law has not been on the SEC side. So library throwing the appeal in here, very, very smart. And not to mention what's going on in the Coinbase case. So we shall see how this goes. I don't know if they are going to win the appeal, but I think it's very smart of them to definitely check this out and see if they can get it. Because once again, there's case law given the ripple situation, secondary market sales and all that jazz. So really, really excited to see how this goes because I think library was unfairly picked on by the SEC. One of the good actors legitimately trying to build a great platform that I was personally using, I was getting library tokens from publishing my videos and watching videos on the platform. But in came the SEC to protect me from library. Pretty, pretty nuts. And here Ripple's David Schwartz, which he was at APEX Dev Summit, which has been happening this week, and he made some opening remarks which got the crowd going. And this is on the future outlook of the XRPL on day one of the APEX Dev Summit. He said, other than Bitcoin, XRP is now the only digital asset with regulatory clarity in the United States. Yeah, I'd applaud that one or for that one, too. And the crowd went kind of nuts. So highlighting here, you know, what's been happening and trying to get folks to know like, hey, you can come build on the XRP ledger. You don't have to worry. You know, this we have the clarity from the judge, of course. Now, there was some thought around the XRP ledger being used by Palau. There was probably Bitcoin Maxis are behind this because it was published by Bitcoin .com. So here, J. Hunter Anson, who's digital residency officer director, part of the Palau Ministry of Finance, he said, not accurate. Palau is absolutely looking forward to continuing our partnership with Ripple using the XRPL to refine our stablecoin solution design. The Palau stablecoin was always a temporary research and development pilot. Originally scheduled for 60 days, we've actually extended it another 30 days to test some additional use cases discovered along the way and allow more people to participate due to popular demand. We need time to compile data and complete our report to government leadership. The report will include recommendations for the next pilot and also requirements for a full production program.

"For watching. Thanks for watching. On the right foot for organizers we have two early breakthroughs. One is there was no argument no debate about the agenda. Last time there around was a lot of back and forth about what to talk about to begin with. But this time first point. Second point is around this new fund that's going to help these vulnerable countries deal with more extreme weather stoked by global warming. And it's a major breakthrough because it comes a year after countries first agreed to set up the loss and damage fund. There's still a major hurdle and a question around some of the higher emitting developed countries. They're not fully developed according to the spectrum. So that is China. That is Saudi Arabia because their contributions are still unclear. The UAE is trying to lead the charge here and they're going to contribute $100 million alongside another $100 million from Germany. I want to get to the market check for you, the cross asset board. We complete the month of November and we start the month of December. At the moment, just a marginal downside here on the S &P 500 mini. On U .S. tenure yields, we had 433 as we count to some commentary from the Fed chair. Eurodollar is at 109 .10 and then Brent crude still holding about $80 a barrel despite some of the inconsistent messaging in terms of the actual announcement. I want to get to this chart here. Really important. Just the journey of the S &P 500 within the month of November. What was that? Wow. $3 trillion of a surge. We're just 5 and away from all -time highs. The benchmark is up over 8 % in November. That's a feat achieved fewer than 10 times during the same month since 1928 according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Let's get to our top story. The truth between Israel and Hamas. That has come to an end. I want to get more with Bloomberg's Antony Squazian in Tel Aviv. Antony, give us your latest. I think we were waiting for the truth to be extended. There were a lot of expectations that it may well be, and I think the negotiators were pushing hard for that, but it's 7 o 'clock here in Tel Aviv, and that's when the truth ends. There's been no announcement, and we're beginning to get reports of renewed fighting in North Gaza. Everything's very unclear, but it does seem to have an end. So, what is the sequencing of events likely to be from this point onwards? We've had brief gaps between all of us before. Could there still be an announcement if it doesn't come? Has Israel objectivist? Well, I guess there could be an announcement. We don't know, what but we do know is that there are reports of both Israeli and action from Gaza as well, so it does seem that the fighting has resumed. So, that is not a good sign in terms of extending pause the in fighting. Israel's objectives? Well, I think they remain the same as they've been beginning since the of the war. I mean, they want the hostages released, they've said that they want to destroy Hamas, and they've pretty much laid out their plans that in the next phase of the war they'll be moving to the south of the Strip, that's where they believe most of Hamas's senior leadership has gone to, and possibly the hostages as well. We had Anson Lincoln, Secretary of State for the U .S. here last night, he was cautioning against a repeat of what happened in North Gaza where we saw more than 15 ,000 civilians killed. Obviously that's a huge death toll. I want to follow up on that Anthony, just in terms of the relationship between Israel and the United States, what else came from some of the statements from both sides? Look, I think that Israel is, it's taking cognizance of what its biggest Once, and you know there is a lot of talk about setting up if safe so ends in the south. I don't know how feasible that is. There's a lot of skepticism. Obviously, there's you hundreds of thousands of people who have already moved to the south of the region. It's very dangerous. and there is a good chance of people being caught in a crossfire. Obviously the more that know, what happens the more the pressure grows on the US domestically and internationally. It's not a you the war is not fully supported by the populations of the U .S. and other western and nations it's a subject of debate and it's causing a lot of controversy. So I do think both US the and the Israeli government are under a lot of pressure to change the way the fight's happening and it to differently do this time. Anthony I appreciate that you reacting for us in real time to the news as it comes in that's Bloomberg's Anthony's cuisine in Tel Aviv. Just a note quick on the market reaction here because as the truce at least until now had been rolled over and there was an increase in confidence in Israeli financial markets and I want to look at equities in particular which have been on a tear. The Israeli stock index jumped almost 20 % in dollar terms this month roughly half the gains coming from equity prices and half from currency more moves. than any other benchmark That's excluding Argentina where of course capital controls restrict foreign markets shackle the also in focus the world's best dollar best pace returns in the month of November of all the currencies tracked by Bloomberg those are 150 as of now we will continue to monitor of course if we don't get an extension of the truce whether we will get a significant retracement of that. I want to get out to the markets in Asia. Everill Hong has the updates from there from our studio. Everill Asia stocks are December starting on the back for you can see the MSCI Asia Pacific sliding further into negative territory this comes along with these greater China stock gauges also thinking deeper into the red in the afternoon session the CSI 300 looks set for its weakest finish this year and the level to watch is 34 74 so it looks like it's on track for the lowest finish in 2023 and this is despite the China Tyson manufacturing PMI showing an unexpected jump for the month of November of course we did get home sales data which showed an acceleration of the declines but let's take a deeper look at the manufacturing numbers out of the Asian giant the official print yesterday already showed the second month of contraction so the Tyson numbers were expected show to weak momentum we didn't get that so one of the things that has been highlighted when take you a look at the data and to give perspective is that the private survey actually takes into account a smaller sample which might explain the volatility that we're seeing in the data Yusuf everyone thank you ever thank you for that that several home they want to build on what we were talking about at the beginning of the show in terms of a truce doesn't look like it's going to get rolled over this time around another couple of headlines crossing the terminal the Israeli army says that Hamas violated the pause and it has fired towards Israeli territory we do not have any update on whether that means that there's no longer going to be a truce but this is the latest line coming from Israeli army they're saying they're resumed combat against Hamas in the Gaza Strip we will of course follow any additional updates from Israel and Hamas and of course from the Qataris we've been trying to mediate this rollover day in day out we're going to see if we're going to get market a reaction be it in the energy prices but that headline has now gone red that is the that Israeli army they're resuming is saying combat operations against Hamas in the Gaza Strip the geopolitical premium and Brent crude had started to dissipate and currently we are still below the flatline on Brent crude at 8063 a barrel I want to stay on the energy markets and get out to Anthony de Paola who's joining us for a real -time reaction you're going to rip up the script script instead of starting with OPEC plus I want to start off with Israel Hamas Anthony and to what extent that your political price premium is going to get baked back in yeah Yusuf we really haven't seen that geopolitical price premium since this war started we did have that initial jump right after the October 7th tax but the market has really reacted in a way indicating that they don't think that the conflict is in this spread more widely in the Gulf region so there's risks to oil infrastructure there's risk to exports here we have seen some vessels attacked mainly around Yemen and heading into

Politics Is Getting Murkier Every Day
"With respect to politics, my God, it's getting shittier and murkier every day. We've got a president who will not take questions when he says he thinks he should. The feed is miraculously mysteriously cut off when he leaves the podium and people want to know journalists literally doing that job asking, what have you learned about the crisis down at the border? And all Biden will offer us a lot as he keeps walking off the stage. He's a fucking asshole. He's not a president. And yet the other day I'm on Facebook and Anson Williams. Good old pozzi from happy days has the nerve and the stupidity to put up a post that says I for one am thrilled with the job that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are doing. Just right there, I want to go, what the fuck are you thrilled about? What you thrilled was the Keystone pipeline workers losing their jobs the first day in office. What you thrill with all this sudden immediate Amnesty for as many as 11 illegal immigrants around America. All you thrilled with transgender boys playing female sports at high school and collegiate levels and Olympic levels. Is that is that what you're thrilled with Anson fucking Williams?

What can bees teach us about aging?
"Most research on aging has been conducted on model organisms including mice worms and flies. I'm here with y'all who wrote a story this week about. Why social insects such as anson bs have shed a new light on how animals h thank you so much for joining me. Thanks megan left. Be here i wanted to start with. these social insects have kind of been traditionally overlooked in long term studies on aging though groups of scientists who work on aging science. They don't come from social insects background and on the other hand the many many scientists who study ends termite and bees. They do not study aging. You study behavior. You studied the population biology. You studied a social systems on even if you study the social systems. There's like a zillion questions to be answered. Aging research in social insects didn't really catch on until sometime in the mid nineties or like the late ninety s when scientists do experiments they want all other variables to be concerned right except for that one variable that really testing and it's very difficult to achieve that in a social insect system.

the 7-Figure Salon Podcast
Playing To Win With Leadership Habits
"Welcome to the salon. Nba podcast. I'm your host helena gibson founder straight hair solutions and creator of the seven figure salon academy if this is your first time with us. Welcome this is your one. Stop show for tips and tricks. Different ideas inspirations. On how to build a strong foundation for your salon or beauty business. I am so low this week. It is raining cats and dogs right in front of me so odd for san diego. So we're tucked in the house. And as i was coming up with what i wanted to talk about i wanted to kind of piggyback off of what we talked about last week which was culture in how we all have a culture even if we didn't realize it or not it's definitely in our business which is reflection of us the owner or ceo and that's the same thing with leadership so that's going to be our theme today animates ads. Just give you a couple of tips on that anson. Different things that i use as a leader to help guide my team and in our salon program which is our six months signature program. These are some of the things we go over for building the foundation for your salon business or any business for that matter because culture and leadership our key to creating a strong teen environment to scale past six and seven figures in your business so let's start with leadership. Basically leadership is the lid. She scaling to fix in seven figures. Wherever your wherever. Your top is your masks You're going to be able to take your business so again. Think of it like a ceiling Pop lid off and so a few key traits that the leader that the leader needs one is clarity of vision. You have to have a mission that so inspiring in so big that you attract he a players. It's gotta be something that gets you out of bed to especially when it's a saturday and we're doing here and you want to stay home and lay in bed we all do or whatever your your mission. Your vision has to be very clear for your team to buy in to. And we work on that all the time and i'm constantly refining and while and then actually our mission with us with our academy is so clear of helping thousands salon owners to reach financial freedom by twenty twenty five. I mean how big of a vision can you get the right. I mean it. It's just so big and then eventually all make it even larger. That's just a start in the next four years and impacting many families. So what kind of mission or vision do you have an how you communicate that to your team to get their buy in with it as well. The other one at number two is communications skills. We are in the people business so we have to learn how to communicate with other people and again something. I'm always refining. And i found that over the years. It's gotten much better. But there's still a ton i could work on and improve even in my own communication skills. Sometimes i come off. You know just a little rougher than i would like With my delivery but again. It's something i'm aware of and something that i'm working on. So your communication skills with your team with your clients with your vendors is extremely important because you're building relationships and one of the things are talk about. Is people buy from people. They know alike and they trust. And if they don't like you they don't trust you. They're not going to buy from you and that's a key Key from communication. So you really definitely wanna make sure you've got that down. The third tip for leadership is building. A-team i've heard great. I heard a great quote last night. Where gentlemen was saying. I'd rather be friends with them than co workers and resent them later and that really was profound. Because i've had that happened with a few team members before and you have to be able to build a team and you have to know when somebody doesn't fit in that team in a more it can't be oj so great a wildlife her. She'll get better. Hey if you're trying to impact on your mission if we're trying to hit thousand salon owners and help them reach their goals. I can't have c. n. d. players on my team just because i like them personally. They've got to go because then what happens is they stay too long then i end up resenting them later they resent me later it. It's just it just doesn't serve anyone so i love that saw out. It's even worse repeating. I'd rather be friends with them than co workers and resent them later. I i thought that was huge. The other thing is fostering a great culture which we dug into last week silent. Go over that again. But you have to have a great culture

"Probably the most dramatic and notorious outbreak of scurvy at sea was during George Anson's four year voyage around the world, which started in 17 40. Britain was at war with Spain and because of the war, Anson had a serious labor shortage. Even press gangs who were abducting man off the street to force them to serve in the Royal Navy could not provide him with enough men for his fleet. Eventually this gap was filled with men from Chelsea Hospital, most of whom were sick, injured or elderly to the point that they weren't able to just leave on their own. When they got released from the hospital, the people who did have the capacity to just walk away. Did that. So he was left with, like the oldest sickest Ben from the hospital. And then there were delays in outfitting the ships and the crews ain't nothing but ship's rations for months as they waited, And while there were treatments for scurvy onboard, none of them contained much, if any vitamin C, so they did not actually work. For the most part, they were also really unpleasant, like drinking a bunch of straight vinegar. I like vinegar and vinegary things, but the idea of just gulping down a whole bunch of it does not sound great to me hard pass. Once they finally got underway, they sailed through terrible storms and were blown off course by April of 17 41. Most of the men who had survived those treacherous seas had been developed scurvy By June, They were down from six ships toe only three with only 335.

"Of this unrest. You look back in history. The bowl of monoculture is always a problem even if it's not to do with the environment they point neat. That's i was waiting but what's happening today is that people are being much more aware. Plant some other trees among the been yards loveliest ticker shatila que- which is on the right inc. And they say for every single hector vines that they plant they'll have a heck of wildflowers or hector of forest or something else that mindset is pervasive. You chronicle another winery is the flirty card to nell. Does something with their crates. They sell the wind. Yes they've definitely. Shatila play cardinal exactly our incentive million and say what on the basis of back wooden crate. When you buy the one they have instructions on how to turn it into a box for badge arcade into bed fox and they're going to do it to the competition each year when anyone who's a consumer can writing with ideas for how to recycle bulks and they'll print best one on the bottom of the of the weinbach. Cgi which is very cool. That's creative that is great so for those of us who are hunting for bargains. So there's quite a diversity where understanding now but where should we be looking regions and or vintages are going to offer us. The most value the great thing about the fact that boorda was led by vintages. It's if you find vintage which is less media kind of championed you're likely to find becca prices and again one of the things. I'm really trying to do in the book. Because i want to be as consumer-led as possible it's trying to say there's no such thing as a good obin teach you know there's always places that do well in places do less well and also my suggestion would be to think of it. Is this advantage to wait for a long time or disadvantage when you can drink it sooner. So there's years like two thousand and seven for example. She thousand seven wasn't so media-friendly over the last decade people have not really talked about it. But it's tasting really delicious right now because it isn't a to put away for five hundred years for fifty it's have been tested drink and now a lot of these wines are ready to drink. I'm talking the bigger states the classified estates and so two thousand seven is a great place to look right now years like two thousand eleven again tasting delicious now but people don't really think about them and you'll always find slightly lower prices and then even big great years so if you think of two thousand ten or two thousand sixteen bactheatre which everybody said Brilliant they are but they were very expensive. That's when i would suggest you go to look at places like from zakho along the palmer all of these smaller nations because everybody did well in those kind of vintages. So you don't have to spend the money necessarily to go to the big states and less you're wanting to do it as an investment and keep it for decades but most of that's not why by line that's true and i love how you've written before just go over the hill or across the street just outside the big marquee names like instead of centimeter montana Stimulus or something like that or or the coats..

It's like writing about why maybe pervasive a the irish much mainly they would come here and they also bought chateau's miss some of our most famous judge today liberal bolton still owned by an irish family and in fact the buttons came in the seventeenth century. And they're one of the very few who have. If not the only i think about today that pro really the only one to had survived every single problem along the way so the french revolution. They were here during the french. Revolution had to transfer the ownership of their state at the time to friendly local business partner beds so that it wasn't taken away and given to the state but they survived the french revolution and both world. Wars they were there agent fifty five classification. The guy really fascinating family to think about the history of the irish but when you look when there were a lot of irish here they were responsible for lots of trading but also of the blending. I'm sure you know that the history aboard a wine is today everything is made at the chateau blundered at the chateau but for longtime it was negotiations who are responsible for blending the wine and then selling it on an irish merchants were particularly newton. The mixing up different shadows or different styles. And say if you look at old archives you can see some of the irish merchants taking maybe fifty percent to baseball adding in ten percent of feet putting in a little bit of wine from the rhone valley. Or you know just really mix it up because again they were thinking about that end consumer and they were trying to find flavors april that consumed like so it was much more kind of like making a branded wind today as opposed to trying to kind of keep the exact imprint of a specific chateau which is how we think of fine today. Absolutely is that because they are all meeting at the pubs and talking and horse-trading has a little part of body shop on gorgeous gorgeous parts of the city. That's right down on the riverfront and that's where will read merchants. Were though i bet they will have been tasting each other stuff and checking out what works now. You said this was a famous port so locked trade passing through the slave trade. What impact did that have a bordeaux. So what i was about sixteen percent some. Let's say between fifteen and twenty percent of the whole slave ships of franz went through border at the height. It was a little bit later to come in in places like com. A non too. Few of the of the other places started earlier to the point that actually kobe. Who is the minister of finance. I guess under louis the fifteenth came down to.

I thought for a guy who was in who of that age and the enthusiasm and what he put into that role. He didn't have to work, but he was just so good at it. I guess he didn't want to give it up.

Pay the team of people that you put together direct mail and still make a profit whereas someone who's using an agent really has no expenses other than their closing costs and maybe an inspection and an appraisal so keep that in mind.

Don't swim upstream when you're when you're doing this. There's an easy way which is just to see what came out on zillow and go look at it right away. Don't get pre-approved. I look at the same homes. Everyone's like an you're gonna find yourself very frustrated looking at stuff that's been on. The market for a lot longer is an incredibly useful strategy. Even with on market deals. I learned that through. Reo because they would always do price reductions at thirty nine hundred twenty increment so i knew it was eighty nine days on market in one or two days. We should be saying price reduction and so that train me to just look at days.

"Yeah single arena. It's about decentralized ownership and control democratic access to a anson robotics is about. How do we make i interface with people in a compassionate loving way which both deliver immediate value to humans like if you rollout compassionate loving robots in metal alba character education context and it can help the the better suck in human culture and human values because it's interacting with with with people in the really direct way now the the core pursuit of agi itself. I've been pursuing for many years. Through project open cog which is an open source general intelligence platform. And we're we're now building. A brand new version of open cog called hyper on. And we're actually. We're spinning off a separate company. From singularity net cog true which is basically building commercial. Applications on top of the new open cog system now. But but it all connects right. Because the the the agi systems true gi will build using open cargo hyperion. I mean these use singularity net as a decentralized platform and they can supply intelligence among other applications to hanson robots into our joint with hansen robot. So many you have you know. We have a whole ecosystem which is dominated by by big tech companies. But we're sort of looking at making a in a way a parallel a ecosystem which is based on a decentralized networks and which also is using a broader variety of of algorithms than big tech companies are currently focusing because i mean deep. Neural nets are great. I was teaching deep neural nets and then in the nineties him as a spare time. Weekend musician having a huge amount of fun would like seek to see controlling their own models for music prediction and so forth. So it's it's very cool. What these neural nets can do on the other hand. I think the only doing a small fraction of what you need for human level general intelligence so with both open cog and trade gye singularity net and answering robots. We're looking connecting together multiple processes. Some doing neuro met some doing budget go reasoning. Some are doing evolutionary learning. They're doing many different algorithms in there. They're cooperating together deal. The sort of emerging intelligence. I'm not. I think. I think that's going to be critical during during the next phase. I we've had a boom with diener for certain narrow. Ai applications and the next boom which i have referred to his agi artificial gerald revolution like that they i revolution i think is gonna be driven by synergetic combinations of a number of different technologies working together and then there's various methods of doing the combination right now open cog one way of doing combination singularity nets and other so it's a lot of stuff going on absolutely okay so a couple of different things This a little bit. So i think for the listeners. Singularity net is a way for any type of intelligent systems to interact with each other. Is that correct. The singular basically like a a at a sir is a sir in. Ai solution as a service so that others can honestly singularity by orientation is about a by software architecture. It's just a way of taking docker containers.

California Creek Fire Zero Percent Contained, Chief Firefighter Says
"The People Fighting California's wildfires include our next guest chief. Chris Donnelly is spent twenty two years as a volunteer firefighter in Huntington Lake California. Good, morning sir. Good. Morning Steve. How are you this morning I'm okay. We've reported a lot on the sheer extent of the fires. How have you been spending your days where you are? Well we we began this this fight probably on Saturday morning about six am and what we did I was get all of our people out of Huntington Lake. Huntington has about probably five hundred and fifty summer cabins in an additional hundred and ten. Condominiums, we had thousands of people at Huntington and Once I had is on the fire, very clear to me that he was going to burn into Huntington and lives were at stake. So we spent most of the time getting people out. Well, I'm glad you've been able to do that. But of course, because of course, we have been following stories of some other resort areas, vacation areas where. There for the summer there for vacation there camping have had to be evacuated emergency ways. you said you got is on the fire can you describe the landscape the way it looks to somebody who's never been there and what the fire looked like. Yeah. Honey. Lake is quite unique word seven thousand feet, and we are the reservoir for a very large electric generation facility. That's two thousand feet below us. Virtually down a steep just just a cliff. and. So when I heard a sheriff's deputies go through our area to begin evacuations about five thirty in the morning on Saturday. I called our dispatch and and and they told me where the fire was. I drove down there about fifteen to twenty minutes away. And look down into the Canyon to about a thousand feet below us and saw flames and new as soon as the morning wins started upslope of Valley. That that was going to be a threat to Huntington. So I recommended that we do a mandatory evacuation at Huntington and began that vacuum evacuation about seven thirty. Our our teams, we we knew this was coming eventually with so much deadened down and the droughts over the years. And temperatures have been drier and well, it's been hotter and humidity's dryer. So said so much deadened down is this mostly forested area that we're talking about This heavy forest. Read for in white for as much as eight feet in diameter. And Bark Beetle infestations probably killed a third of that forest and Ecorse was. Caused by not not too much water much hotter temperatures in the last ten or fifteen years. and. So we have a lot of lot of fuel out there in the forest. You you focused a lot clearly on the evacuation is everybody out safely so far as you know from your area of responsibility. Absolutely. We made several passes through our small community. And we verified that everyone was gone, and then at that point, we had lots of strike teams which are groups of fire engines each. Totaling about thirty five engines by about two PM. At which time is started releasing our personnel to get their families and get out. So right now, the the only members of our fire department, our one company officer, which we will keep their throughout the battle. But it's simply not safe to be there. Well this helps to explain number that we've been hearing the past couple of days we're told this fire is zero percent contained. Is this a circumstance and of course, it's true of all wildfires to some extent circumstance where it's abundantly clear that the massive -ness of dead vegetation that you've described that the extreme dryness means that you really this is something that is beyond human control. At this point I think that's a that's a good statement. I don't know what the future of Huntington Lake is. But at this point to it does not look good. Has. The fire actually reached the the what had been the settled area of Huntington Lake. Yes. We have loss cabins of on the western end of the lake. All communications are down into the area I am not there at this moment. So it's very difficult to get serious information but about six PM last night, all crews were pulled out to about the middle of the lake. And we don't know if they re engaged or not. You said, all crews have been pulled out to the middle of the lake. Do you mean that they went out on the water? No. Okay this is copulated on the north side of the lake, and so a mid mid way on the shore you retreat retreated to a more defensible place is what you're saying. Thank you for much much better said, yes, Gotcha Gotcha I want people to know if they don't that you are as you describe it a brother in the Catholic church maybe a layman would think of you as a monk that is another thing that you do besides volunteer firefighting for twenty two years. How does that inform the way that you think about an event like this? Well you know I'm a teacher at Saint Mary's College and I've worked with kids since probably nineteen seventy. So it for me, it's all about caring people and touching hearts and. It's it's that center of people that I worry about the most you can rebuild cabins and you can go somewhere else but it's the people. So you know just a a little. Thirty second bit for you. Yesterday morning, I drove by a cabin and made a PA announcement directly to people about you need to get out now. Yesterday I called her and told her cabin was gone. And she shared with me that are great. Grandfather that cabin in one, thousand, nine, hundred, twenty. And her grandmother talked about the moments out playing in the woods and collecting pine cones and. As she broke into tears. I. Thought. How many stories like this am I going to be hearing? And how hurtful this all is. Income on their summer cabins, they gotTA someplace to go, but it's the hurt and the loss and. Tens of thousands of girl and boy scouts that. Were at Huntington. And Church camps and private Anson. There's so many lives. So many memories that probably won't be there in the future. So for me, that's what it's about. It's about the people. And all the all the loss. Donnelly thanks very much for your insights. I really appreciate it and we'll continue following the news to see if you begin to reach a point where you're able to battle back. Well, we'll look for that moment to.
