A highlight from Aztec Testnet For Private Smart Contracts
"Welcome to your Ethereum news roundup. Here's your latest for Wednesday, September 20th, 2023, Aztec releases a local testnet for private smart contracts, L2B introduces a new TVL framework, Balancer suffers a DNS hijack attack, and the Holsky testnet is set to relaunch on September 28th. All this and more starts right now. The Arbitrum on Gitcoin Grants round is now live. If you'd like to support this podcast, please consider contributing to our grant by visiting ethdaily .io forward slash gitcoin. Aztec Network introduced Aztec Sandbox, a local developer testnet for creating privacy preserving applications. The release includes a lightweight local Aztec node, an Aztec RPC server, the Aztec .NR framework, Aztec .JS, Aztec CLI, and a VS Code extension tailored for NOR, along with code tutorials. Developers can use the Sandbox to experiment with private smart contract composability, private Layer 1 to Layer 2 function calls, private state management, and hidden function execution. The release represents the initial phase in Aztec's developmental roadmap to construct a fully decentralized privacy -preserving Layer 2 network. Layer 2 analytics platform L2B introduced a new framework for calculating total value locked in Layer 2 networks. The updated TVL metric on L2B will now default to include the value of native tokens deployed directly on Layer 2. Previously, L2B only accounted for tokens that originated from Layer 1, as well as chain -specific tokens like OP and ARP. The TVL calculation will now include canonically bridged assets, externally bridged assets, and natively minted assets within Layer 2 networks. L2B will also take into account the total supply of tokens on the Layer 2, the circulating supply of native tokens, and the token's CoinGecko ranking when selecting tokens for inclusion in TVL. Balancer suffered a DNS hijacking attack that resulted in the loss of over $228 ,000 worth of assets. During the hijacking incident, users accessing the Balancer frontend were deceived into approving a malicious smart contract, which ultimately transferred their assets to the attacker. Balancer has since regained control over its domain. Balancer attributes the security breach to a social engineering attack on its domain register provider EuroDNS. In response, Balancer announced plans to deprecate its use of the .vai top -level domain in favor for a more secure register. And lastly, the relaunch of the Holsky Testnet is scheduled for Thursday, September 28th at 12pm UTC. The relaunch comes after the initial Holsky Testnet launch failed due to misconfiguration issues. A launch party for the testnet will take place in Holshovice, Prague at the Bortel Hackerspace. The Holsky Testnet will feature an initial validator set of over 1 million validators and 1 .6 billion testnet ether available at Genesis. In other news, PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin goes live on Venmo, Alchemy releases an ERC4337Q3 stats report, and Friendtech releases support for desktop.

A highlight from CV157: Aaron van Wirdum - Genesis Book
"Hey everybody, welcome. Welcome to Show 157. Matthew Majcic is here, joined today by Aaron Van Wierdom from Bitcoin Magazine, longtime journalist and editor, technical editor, I believe, from Bitcoin Magazine, Aaron. Welcome. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks for having me. Yeah. Technical editor. I've done a bunch of things over the years. That's still my official title. Currently, I'm mostly writing my book. I do a podcast with Shorts as well, Bitcoin Explained. I was the editor -in -chief of the print magazine for a while, not right now, but I've done a bunch of stuff over the years for Bitcoin Magazine. Yeah. Surely, surely our listeners and viewers are aware. I've loved your stuff, a long time over the years, never had you on the show here. Met at a couple of conferences over the years in Riga, I think, I met you in Prague, talked a little bit more and yeah, glad to have you finally on the show. So show number 157 is what you said? Yeah. So how long have you been doing this? That must have been a while. It's a while. Yeah. But it's not as hardcore as, you know, some of the more, let's say, focused Bitcoin shows. Actually, I wanted to ask you from an early guest, and that's my first question, because I remember, you know, I like to start with these big picture questions. And I remember we interviewed Eric Voorhees a long, long time ago, mid 2017. And I asked him, actually, I don't remember what I asked him, but he was just, this was his answer. You're really building up the tension. His answer, let's say that this question was, you can explain Bitcoin in the most elegant, technical way possible, you can explain the virtues of it, you can explain sound money, you can explain inflation, you can explain programmable money, these types of things. But in his experience, and this was, you know, he had been in Bitcoin, I think, you know, already for six years or so at the time. Now it's six years later from there. In his experience, when you're talking to the lay person, we talked to the average person, you're trying to explain Bitcoin to them, really, the only thing that gets their attention at the end of the day is price. What do you think about that assessment now? Six years? Six years later? I mean, I don't even try to talk about Bitcoin to anyone anymore. That's like early days. Yeah. That's like early days type of behavior. But we're not there, man. I think we got it. That's what these shows are for. I mean, sure, we have plenty of, you know, enthusiast people that really care, but we still got to do that, don't we? Well, let's be more precise. So I will happily talk about Bitcoin to anyone if they start the conversation. If they want to know about Bitcoin, then I'll be happy to explain anything, answer any questions, whatever they want to talk about, I'm happy to do it. But I'm not going to be the one to bring it up and sort of try to sell it to people. That's year one stuff. And I learned really quickly that that's not real. And I think that's, I think there's actually something kind of profound there. Bitcoin is something you have to discover, is something you have to actually become interested in yourself. I mean, people will hear about it in one way or another, right? Especially these days, because it's just on the news or it's kind of everywhere nowadays. You'll hear about it. And then if you're the type of person that's interested in that kind of stuff, you'll actually want to learn more. You will want to know what it is and why it exists and that kind of stuff while trying to push it on people. In my experience, at least, but maybe I'm just a really bad representative in that way. But in my experience, that never really works. People don't want to hear about it if they don't want to hear about it. So I basically gave up on, you know, doing the push type of Bitcoin sell. Yeah, I was watching a panel that you did at Bitcoin Amsterdam, I think it was last year with, it was on Lightning. Sergei was there. Sergei Kotler. He's been on the show a couple of times. I like him a lot. I like his approach. I like what they're doing at Bitrefill. And he said, you know, you have the masses that we want to use Bitcoin and even the masses that are using Bitcoin right now, but they don't love Bitcoin, right? They don't think about its features like we think about it. They don't think about its potential like we think about it. They're just using it to, you know, in the early days, better to buy drugs or now it's just to buy gift cards on Bitrefill, which is his, of course, experience and he's well versed in that.

A highlight from CV156: Henrik Skogstrm - Torq
"All right, everybody, welcome, welcome here to Show 156. Matthew Maginskas, your host here from Northeastern Europe, joined by my co -host here, Michel Quito Miner from Nautil in Paris, their relatively new offices, right, Michel, how are you doing? Hey, what's up? Yeah, two weeks old offices. Nice, congrats. And in a exquisite office slash studio with a view, as you can see, dear viewer, if you're watching this feed, we have Henrik Skogström from Norway, founder and CEO of LN Capital. Henrik, thanks a lot for joining and welcome. Thank you for having me. You know, undisclosed location, perhaps, where you are, or people can figure it out? I think people can figure it out. But yeah, the view seems unreal, even in real life back here. imagine. I can So it's great to meet you in Prague during BCC Prague, we actually shared a taxi back to the old town. And I guess I'll just tongue in cheek ask you the same question that I asked you before when I heard LN Capital, you know, how big is your fund? What are you guys raising for? Yeah, yeah, I got that a lot. Tell us a little bit about LN Capital and what you guys are doing. Yeah, so we're not a VC fund. We don't invest in startups. We're building, we're a startup ourselves. And also, it's part of the reason why we're switching name from LN Capital to Torque. So this is, it's been a common problem. But what we do is... This is one of the last times you'll be known as coming from LN Capital. Yeah. But yeah, we build node management software, but for really large nodes and really large companies. So if they have, they usually have multiple nodes, they have thousands of channels, and they have thousands and thousands of payments happening every day. At that point, you need a really scalable solution and not just anything you find online. So companies until this point has mostly built soft their own because of out of necessity. So we're coming in and providing software they need instead of them having to spend time on that, which their customers don't really care about. Yeah. So Torque is the software, the platform. You know, big question always these days, open source, closed source, some sort of mixture. How is your setup look? So right now, Torque is closed source. And we have a different project that's not really LN Capital or Torque that is called Scaling Lightning. We can talk about that as well a bit later. But yeah, we're closed source. Managing channels, capacity, node management, routing, all of that stuff's, you know, depending on how much in the weeds we want to go. And we can during this episode. But yeah, who exactly is your product for? So yeah, we're, as I said, for large companies, for example, could be Ibex, for example, where they have multiple nodes. They have a lot of channels and high volume of payments going on. At that point, the problem isn't really about having it, about liquidity. It's about managing the shared chaos it is if you don't have a tool. So this is really hard to do when the volume grows and the number of channels and the amount of activity grows. So typically, a company spends a ton of resources building tools to manage, to see what's going on and be able to prevent something going wrong. So yeah, we're here to deliver that for them. And how long have you been working for building this? So we started building about one and a half year ago. And we're now getting, we just launched our version one, and we're starting to really pick up speed and features are really piling on here. Yeah, I mean, it's amazing what everybody's doing. I remember quite well the tension as August 2017 was coming and SegWit was becoming activated. And growth the exploded originally, I remember. A couple of years ago, it seemed like lightning, not the development because that's not my gig, but it almost seemed like there was maybe a little bit of centralization or a little bit of less active usage of lightning. And I thought with the kind of price explosion that happened in 2021, there would be even more usage. And I'm certainly a proponent of lightning. I think it's going to be great. But anybody who's developing on lightning right now, to me, it just seems like you're super forward thinking. You definitely can see around corners because I think a lot of individual Bitcoin users, they're just not familiar with it. What do you feel about that assessment? Do you think I'm way off the mark there? Are we sort of behind schedule? Are we on schedule? Just sort of big picture with lightning. So in my opinion, I think it's sort of developing in phases. It's also that initial jump and then flat for a while and jumps up in total capacity again. And I think this is not necessarily something where Bitcoiners need to be super engaged, need to have all that hype around it because it's a technology that just works. It has a function. So it could be as well that I think most users in the future are not going to know that they're using lightning. So it's a transport layer. So my hope is that it gets simplified to a very high degree. But of course, it is very important to have that choice. You have that escape action. You can always as easily as possible run your own lightning node. So for example, solutions like Breeze, a ton of these other self -custodial or semi -self -custodial solutions that help users stay in control but still have that convenience is super important. I think this just keeps developing. And I think you shouldn't underestimate the sort of these breaking points where the technology reaches these points where it just kicks off and it's easy enough for everybody to just take off and use lightning. We have another one of those good solutions right here. My co -host, Kito, I don't know if you want to jump in at this point with what you guys are doing. Yeah, so we are self -custodying lightning in the old -fashioned way, meaning people run the lightning node on their physical hardware and then remote to it through Zappos or any other mobile app that they can use or RTO, web frontends, whatever. I wanted to ask you, so you aim at really large operators and it seems to me that except for WebView 1, they are all running LND right now. So what implementations are you compatible with? So we support LND and CLN so far. We're going to add LDK.
What Bitcoin Did
A highlight from Orange Pilling Your Kids with Samantha de Waal
"Bitcoin is, in my opinion, the future of money. Why trade it for euro or pound or dollars if you're going to hold on to the Bitcoin and be able to use it in the future? Hello from London. How are you all doing? Are you looking forward to your weekend? Right. I am here down in London. I've been recording a few interviews before I head off on holiday next week. I will need a short break for my kids. I've got a couple of great shows I've done this week, actually. So yesterday I interviewed Nigel Farage, which I know a lot of you are going to be interested in. And today I'm also going to be interviewing Constantine Kissen, which is something I've been following for some time. Very interesting guy. So looking forward to that. Then it's five days off, back for a few days, then I'm off to Australia for our live event, which by the way, if you're in Australia and you want to come, please do head over to whatbitcoindid .com, click on WBD Live and get yourself a ticket. Anyway, welcome to the What Bitcoin Did podcast, which is brought to you by the legends Iris Energy, the largest NASDAQ listed Bitcoin miner using 100 % renewable energy. I'm your host Peter McCormack. And today I have Samantha Duvall on the show. Now you might know that surname because her father Ben has also been on the podcast in the past. And now we have his daughter who is also, I think, better and smarter than her dad. Now I first heard about Sam and met her at BTC Prague. She got up on stage after Michael Saylor and absolutely crushed it. And I was so impressed with their presentation. I said to her dad, I said, look, she needs to come on the podcast. And for a couple of reasons, firstly, I don't want to be condescending. She's got this through merit. This isn't a novelty. But that said, I need a show to show my daughter. My daughter is a similar age. I've been trying to orange pill her. She just thinks I'm some weird boomer talking about stupid money. I want to put this show in front of her, see what she thinks, see if this inspires her. And hopefully this will be a great show to put in front of some of your kids as well, even if it's not your kids. Just listen, Samantha is super smart. She's a great Bitcoiner. I think she's got a great career ahead of us. Anyway, listen, you got any questions about this or anything else, drop me an email. It's hello what Bitcoin did dot com. Tomorrow, we're in the next round of the FA Cup. Keep your fingers crossed for Raoul Bedford playing MK Irish again. Hopefully we will win that one.

"Tell us about BTC Prague. Tell us about the beautiful people there, the things going on, and then we'll jump into talking about the halving, BitGo, and a little intrigue with Ethereum firm consensus. So I would, I would love to just honestly take this part from a mining segment to a bit of a traveler story, because Prague is a beautiful place, but I will focus on the conference. As far as conferences go, this is, it's probably the best conference I've been to. Like ever? Yeah, and part of it is that we're not in a raging bull market, and so you don't have kind of a flurry of just really busy, compact, kind of fluffier conversations. People that are there are interested in Bitcoin for a longer term, and that's where the conversations are centered around. The segments, I'll highlight two of them, because I'm sure they'll come out on video. One was by BTC Sessions, who is a Canadian Bitcoiner that runs a YouTube channel that does a lot of kind of practical demos, often technical, on using different products in the Bitcoin space to kind of help onboard you in a more of a self -sovereign way. Example, like how to set up a multi -sig wallet or run your own node, etc. He was trying to run a donation campaign during the Canadian trucker kind of financial censorship that was going on about a year and a half ago, and he basically went through all the kind of mistakes that was actually made. He started it out by going through examples of how these truckers were essentially being censored by the banking system there, bank accounts frozen, were being targeted very explicitly, programs like GoFundMe failed, etc., etc. Bitcoin was really their only choice, but the thing with Bitcoin, as much as we say it's censorship -resistant and it can be private, you have to know how to use it that way. And so he was very authentic and genuine about the mistakes that he made, how it would have changed. They did get about 70 % of the Bitcoin donated to actual people during the rally, but there was 30 % that's kind of in escrow and in a core case currently

Dear Dyslexic Podcast
A highlight from Episode 55 with Mark Long, I AM LEX
"Hello there, and welcome to the Dear Dyslexic podcast series brought to you by Rethink Dyslexia, the podcast where we're breaking barriers and doing things differently. I'm Shaye Wiesel, your host, and I'm so glad you can join us. I'm a fellow neurodivergent, and I'm coming from the lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, where I live and work. And I would like to acknowledge and pay my respects to all the tribes across our beautiful country and to all First Nations people listening today. Our podcast was born in 2017 out of a need to give a voice to the stories and perspectives of adults with dyslexia, and our voice has grown stronger year after year. We're now a globally listened to podcast with guests from all around the world. Join us for insightful conversations about living with dyslexia and other neurodivergences across all walks of life. Our special focus is on adult education, employment, social and emotional well -being and entrepreneurship. We're excited to be bringing you this episode and invite you to like and follow us. Or even better, why not leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform? So let's get started. I'm very excited today. I've got Mark on the show from I Am Lex. Is that right? Mark will explain anyway. We are here to talk about all things dyslexia. Mark's in the Netherlands at the moment. And I was just saying to him before we jumped on board that this is my first interview with someone that far away from Australia. So welcome to the show, Mark. Yeah, thank you very much. Thank you. I'm actually currently in Prague, Czech Republic, but still still, you know, in the neck of the woods, Central Europe. Oh, my God. Yeah, no, it's totally fine. It's it's it's really I love being here. I love I'm originally from San Francisco. So being so far away from home and being submerged into the European culture is just incredible. I would love to go to Australia, though. I've never been. I think that's the next on my bucket list. Well, hopefully you've got better geography than me and you'll know how to get here. So I came across you on LinkedIn, which is where I find a lot of my fantastic guest speakers and watched your TED talk as well and was really excited to have the opportunity to speak to you today. So can you talk to me a little bit about where you grew up and you just said America, but what life was like for you growing up and when you were diagnosed with dyslexia? Yeah, definitely. So I grew up in San Francisco Bay Area, not directly in the city, but, you know, my family, we lived in a few places around the Bay Area, but I was diagnosed at the age of six. So this happened in first grade. It was really attributed to the fact that I was not progressing and really kind of, you know, just going into my shell and crumpling up my homework and stuffing on the bottom of the bag and really not interested in anything that had to do with education. I was more interested in playing and imagining and storytelling.

"70% of them to come from the public Germany and actually our neighboring countries. So we do not really expect like newbies coming from long distances because as soon as they're going to consider to come, for example, from Norway or other countries, they would spend few more Euros to buy a conference ticket. So that's it. Have I answered your question, please? Yes, yes, you have. Thank you. Thank you very much. And this may seem like an ignorant question, and it would be my ignorance, so forgive me if it is. Most of the Bitcoin is coming from the check republic and neighboring countries. I mean, do the majority of them speak English or are they native speakers? The Bitcoin is usually speed English. It's so common in the Bitcoin space. For the retailers, it really depends on the generation for the auto generation English is still a struggle. I would say, because again, our history and the communities enforce them to learn Russia, a Russian language actually, but the younger generations know the English. So the conference is going to be English first on all stages. On two main stages and on the outside stage, we call it chick stage that's going to be like check first, but we are going to translate all of the stages from the English to the check and check to English as well. So any visitor going to feel comfortable on any stage. Okay. We're pretty much at the end of the show. I want to thank Martin mathias for coming. Appreciate you guys, man. This is really awesome. I also want to thank Stefan Anders for helping out with the co hosting of this discussion. And everybody who's been asking some great questions. We're going to give matches a couple of moments to make some closing comments. Then Martin, then we wrap the show. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you for inviting and yeah, closing thoughts.

And regarding our conferences, since our first year of change, which is like four years ago, we are one of our one of our motto is that every merchant has to accept Bitcoin. So at BTC prime, you can pay with lightning everywhere. You can buy a beer, coffee, or a burger. We will accept Bitcoin everywhere. It's really incredible. Okay, so we have about 7 minutes left in the show. We have time to open it up for questions. If you guys are okay with that, if you're on the panel and you want to ask a question, go ahead. If you're in the audience, you want to come up and ask a question. You can do that. You can also ask a question in text. In the cafe Bitcoin telegram group that's T dot ME slash cafe Bitcoin club. If you guys are cool, we'll just open it up a little bit. We'll give you a couple of minutes to make some closing comments before we wrap to. It looks like no questions are popping out. Yeah, no questions immediately. Personally, I think it's pretty wild what's going on over there. And this sort of race for what's going to be the next money is seems pretty obvious in a lot of ways. And it seems like it's heating up and accelerating all around the world, you know? I was thinking about this earlier. There was time when central bankers all they did was they poo pooed Bitcoin. They didn't take it seriously. They said, it's just used by criminals, basically. And they I don't think they really took it seriously yet now. Probably in the last 6 months ish, all you see them talking about. CBDC and cryptocurrency. So that's a pretty wild transition. I have a question. Martin and Matthias Wilson in the 50s that there was an uprising in Czech Republic back then. It was Czechoslovakia. And do you see against the Soviet Union and communism and everything I believe it was rolled over by tanks from Moscow, but do you see any trades or similarities between that desire for freedom and sovereignty to Czech Republic being such a leader in Bitcoin or is that is that just random, why is such a leader in Bitcoin?

I love the fact that you guys, I mean, you have a regular price conference tickets with all the amazing speakers. That costs what a conference take it cost, but you are catering to all the newbies that may have some interest. They don't want to pay several €100 for a ticket, but for only what is it like ten or €9? They get to go to the stands and that whole area where there's going to be so much to learn so many different Bitcoin companies and smart people.

That's our main purpose of the tiki being so cheap because we are going to have like one hundred boobs of Bitcoin related companies and the purpose of the cheap ticket is that everyone not only from Prague but even for the next from the neighboring countries can actually come and feel and see that the Bitcoin is the whole ecosystem of the products and the services and the companies and people on every corner actually which gun approved that it's not an early Bitcoin talk forum topic that there's so many opportunities which you can grab start grating for and we maybe even considering your search jumping into Bitcoin job and

I mean, it might be just seeing maybe you guys could give any tips. So what people should go and see while they're in town, or at least from my perspective, where I went, I've been a couple times to Prague. I'm not a super expert, but it's really cool. I found it on really good. There's the Charles bridge, one of the oldest bridges in Europe, so you can go see that there's some really big cathedrals and stuff you can see around town, a lot of beards, but don't get me to pull one point, but definitely getting there. I would say, you know, check it out in terms of hotels and stuff like that. For those of you who are already in Europe, I think it's a no brainer. And also, I find relatively good value in terms of how much you're paying for what you're getting. That's at least that was my experience in it as well. So yes, you guys want to add anything about what people should see while they're in town as well. Yeah, yeah. Let me just let me just add one more thing and actually step on you have covered it but it's wonderful thing on Prague that it's so old city. It was built in the medieval times. So it's so different compared to the U.S. cities, which are so different, still wonderful, but Prague is just simply different and the beer. It's one thing on trigger public that glass over beer usually costs less than glass up to water that actually explains a lot about you should feel it by yourself guys. You gotta be amazing how wonderful practice mostly in the summer and all that stuff around enterprises are quite reasonable. So I believe you can not see really comfortable around.

"Because of the clarity in the futures market because the futures markets regulated and your basis for approving the spot is that the futures market actually drives the spot price. Now they switch their entire position on appeal, which judges never tend to like. And now their position is no no no, it's arbitrary and capricious for you to deny the spot ETFs because this body actually leads the futures market. And the futures market is inexplicably elite with the spot market. And grayscale the SEC says, that's correct, that you don't produce any record that anything in the record to support that. And the burden remains on the applicant to prove a causal connection. One way or the other between the futures and the spot. Now, here's the key thing that I think this is being massively underreported. The judge actually asked what happens if we find that it was arbitrary and capricious. Well, the SEC responded, she said, you would remain this back down. And you would probably have to, we'd probably have to revisit the approval of the futures ETF. In other words, the spin that's coming out of, I think, folks that like myself think this whole case is kind of ridiculous. In terms of obviously they should treat spot in futures the same. I totally think they should greenlight it. That's more of my biases, but just legally, the success of grayscale on the field does not mean the ETF gets approved. That is completely wrong. What would happen is they'd have to go back down and issue another order and potentially undo the futures ETF. That is the question I was brought up in the actual oral arguments anyone had bothered to listen. And the SEC attorney said, yeah, we'd probably have to revisit the logic. And you might end up with no futures market, excuse me, no citrus ETF. Rather than no spot ETF.

"But before we drill down to some of my favorites, I have to ask, where do these ideas come from? Some of these are really unusual different innovative. How do you guys come up with a theme for a new ETF? I mean, I guess it comes down to our proud development and our research team. Right now we have a team area of over 30 research NIS located all over the world and basically all they do is looking at these trends talking to industry consultants, industry participants and CEOs to really try to get a sense of where the most relevant emerging trends are. And once we have at any point in time, we can have anywhere between 20 to 30 things that we are looking at. And then in terms of how we decide what things we eventually bring to market, we apply a very simple but still robust framework that we have developed over the last 14 years. We look at three things. We look at conviction, we look at invest ability and we look at a time horizon. And let me explain that a little bit conviction. So we look at whether or not a specific theme is something that we have a high degree of conviction that will be a trend that will definitely have an impact in the economy over the next two or three decades. We look at target decades, two or three decades. And we are not interested in interested in anybody that is kind of like popular for a couple of years, and I'll get to that in just one second. Literally looking for the structural shifts in the economy. Think of robotics and artificial intelligence cybersecurity cloud computing. So that's the first step that we, as a group, try to assess our level of conviction about a given theme. Then the second step, which is very important, is invest ability. We need at least 25 to 30 companies to be able to launch an ETF. That's a minimum 30 company. From a diversification standpoint, I think that's the recommended makes sense. Minimum amount of companies. And then finally, we look at time horizon to your earlier point, very we are not interested in trends that will be popular for a couple of years. We are literally looking at disruptive and structural shifts in the economy that in some cases can take decades to play out. So one of my pet theories is that half the battle for ETFs attracting assets is the ticker. If you have a catchy ticker, you're halfway there. Am I out in the by myself with that? Or do you think there's any truth to that? I mean, I partially agree with that. I think the digger is very important. Particularly for the self directed, retail client base are catchy taker can definitely increase the chances of a Prague to be successful. But I wouldn't discount how much water goes into the broad development part of an issue. It has to be a good Prague. It has to be properly designed and there are lots of decisions that go into creating an ETF. The plot has to be very well designed to be successful. But yes, if you on top of that, have an attractive ticker, it can definitely increase the chances of being successful. So let me talk about some of my favorites of your ETFs. I love this. Founder run companies. What's the ticker for that? Boss. How great is that? For an ETF of companies that are still run by the founders. So the first question is, why does that matter? Why does founder run companies make a difference? I want to announce this was that a company that I run by their founders tend to make long-term investment decisions in the business versus having the pressure of having to report quarterly earnings and meet the earnings targets and research analysts tend to assign to every single company. So we do think these companies over the long run could perform better than the broader market. And also it's an interesting play in the sense that founder rank companies tend to take a more cautious approach to business than maybe other type of companies. So that was the main value proposition behind the founder and companies and to your point that it was a very interesting take and we spent our development team has spent literally weeks to come up with that one. Well, it's brilliant. Let's do another one. The interest rate hedge ETF stock symbol rate. How do you hedge interest rate risk in an ETF? Well, in this particular case, we are doing that through OTC derivatives. It's a fairly complex product. We tried for the most part, we tried to follow a passively managed approach to all of our ETFs in this part of our case. It was very difficult to provide that structure through like a passively managed strategy. So we take a more tactical and active manage approach to that particular product and we were very lucky because we were able to secure this sticker rate, which is definitely it's a very young power. We just launched a few months ago, but we have a high degree of confidence that it will be very successful in the long run. The timing is pretty good. You have an interest rate hedge as rates start to spike up. Pretty timely, let's talk about cybersecurity, ticker bug.

We know and history has accomplished a number of examples of market interference, especially with the mechanism of the price controls. Can only lead to a deficit of a certain good is that this mechanism is unacceptable to Russia. And if it is implemented, we are not going to supply countries which joined this mechanism. That Russia's deputy prime minister there, speaking through a translator, well let's go to Prague and speak to Bloomberg's Maria today who's there for us this morning. We heard there, Maria, the Russian deputy prime minister talking about the oil price cap that the EU has put in place are so evangeline though eyeing a different kind of price cap and her discussions all again related to the energy story. Yeah, it's once again sir. We're once again excuse me. It's all about the energy here. This is the store, the really dominates the minds of European leaders, because they agree the prices have come down to some extent. When you look at the records that we saw back in August, but they still see prices need to come down further. They have to for households. They need to also for companies for Europe to be able to stay competitive. Now, overnight, the head of the commission father Lyon, she sent a letter to three pages to all the heads of states of the European Union country stinging. If you look at the Dutch benchmark, if you look at the PPF essentially, it no longer reflects the real cost of gas. And therefore the has to transition away from it And that means a temporary price gap. Now, the problem and this is fundamentally the issue is that you have a growing number of countries now, by the way, that agree with this, the commission is responding to their call, but what does the price gap look like? You know, I can tell you there's at least 5 different options on the table that could possibly work and there is no consensus. So there is almost this understanding that something has to be done. Some type of company needs to be put in place, but the formula, they're far away from finding one. And this all happening, of course, with 44 heads of state gathering, including Liz trust and Prague. What about the politics of this, Maria? Oh, Danny, I'm so happy to hear from you. I've not been able to go on your show in the morning. I know we miss you. And yes, I'm on a plane and I wasn't saying to, well, cover this European political community. This is let's say a new concept to explain it very briefly. It was pitch originally by the French president. And the idea is that you have EU countries non EU countries, but they're clearly operate in the same geographical orbit that have a strong common interest in things like trade, economics, migration, and they would gather around those new communities, this trust. She's finally accepting the invitation. There was questions as to whether or not she would come. She will be in Prague. Today, get away from the domestic issues for a few hours. And the setup is interesting because, well, a few weeks ago, when she was asked, is Eminem and my calling a friend or a full of the UK? She said the jury was out on that question. Well, today, maybe she gets an answer. And also when it comes to Brexit and a lot of the political tension there, maybe this serves to reset some of those tensions. And then of course, if Ukraine, this is always a debate now, is how to stay united in a war that is clearly, well, escalating, extending in time and also now coming at a cost.

You can't cover that. And from the last interview you had when and was with you and mcilhenny, there are co producer and your wife, you had said to her when early on when you guys, I guess we're dating and you were journalists together. You said to her and I have actually used this quote and I've given it a credit to you. You said if it's not in the news, it didn't happen. And that's exactly what happened with the Hunter Biden laptop. They said, not newsworthy, so nobody in America or around the world will know that this actually is real. Yeah, you know, yeah, you know, show you how old I am. I said, I was not in the paper. It didn't happen. And so yeah, they decided to cover this up. They decided to suppress this, not even cover it up surprise. You know, we can't verify the laptop. Well, you've got New York Times. You could 1200 reporters actually, you know, there are emails with 6 people copied on them. Go and ask the other 5 people, then you get the did you send this email. And you know, one of them will confirm it. And if all of them refused to deny it, but then you know it's true, right? You can say, nobody, you know, and no one denying that this was a genuine email. Find out, I mean, they spend so much time and energy working out of Michael Cole and ever went to Prague. I mean, you can find out Joe Biden was in surplus or Hunter Biden was in certain places at certain times. And then you can find out people who emailed and where they were. And you can find out the time that he was there. I mean, these are not difficult things you can send him a list of questions. And he can refuse to answer them. And you can say that. And if he's by the way, it's very easy to prove that you weren't somewhere or you didn't send an email. You know, was there any spelling mistakes and emails, were there anybody named wrongly was the most over some email addresses? If these are fake, how do they get the email addresses? This could collapse in a minute if you put any investigative power behind it. But the problem was they wouldn't collapse. In fact, the more they investigated the more it would be verified.

"This basic idea was still in play in germany. By the time the catholic regents were thrown out the window in bohemia and even though the piece of alex was between the empire and the german states the same basic idea was followed in other parts of the holy roman empire as well and that was one of the things that led to this war under the piece of alsberg. The ruler was supposed to decide the religion but people didn't necessarily want to follow the religion that their ruler did religion also played a huge part in the relationships among the various rulers and the kingdoms and the states that they controlled both within and outside of the holy roman empire in germany the catholic and protestant states each formed their own military alliances. The protestant union was first formed in sixteen o eight and eventually it had england the dutch republic and sweden as allies. The catholic league was formed in sixteen. O nine in response and the catholic league was allied with the habsburgs. So all these alliances were already in place by the defenestration of prague in sixteen eighteen and for the next two years the mostly protestant bohemian estates fought against the catholic holy roman empire in sixteen twenty holy roman. Emperor ferdinand the second and the catholic league defeated frederick. The v king of bohemia at the battle of white mountain and has numerous historians have noted. The war could have ended. Ferdinand was not satisfied with having only crushed the bohemian revolt. Though in sixteen twenty one he started rounding up and executing rebel leaders in prague. He ordered the remaining protestants to either be exiled or to convert and soon britain denmark and the dutch republic had all entered the war for about ten years. The catholics still had the upper hand. But then sweden joined on the protestant side and sixteen thirty and the protestants rallied for about four years. Then in sixteen thirty four. A spanish army defeated the main force from sweden. Once again the catholic side the advantage. That's when france. A catholic country joined the fray on the protestant side from france's point of view. It was more important to resist the habsburgs and the empire in spain to stay on the same side as all the other catholic states and then from here on out the thirty years war became more and more about territory and politics while becoming less and less directly about religion over time the major powers begin hiring mercenaries to supplement their armies and there were atrocities on all sides. One of the most infamous incidents was the massacre of magdeburg when the empire and the catholic league sacked the protestant city of magdeburg and killed about twenty thousand civilians. Fighting on the catholic side were a mercenary light infantry known as the croats who became the fighting force most often associated with the war although some of the croats were croatian at the time this was more of a generic word for the type of light cavalry that they were in its actual members were from other ethnic groups as well and it's also the word. Cravat comes from after a french word for the scarves that they wore as part of their uniforms..

"Could save you fifteen percents or more earlier in the show. The first defenestration of prague took place about one hundred years before the start of the protestant reformation. The second one took place about one hundred years after on may twenty third sixteen eighteen. But we have to back up a little bit to make sense of it. The protestant reformation caused huge social and political upheaval in bohemia just like it did elsewhere in europe. At the time bohemia was ruled by a collection of a states that formed the bohemian diet. The three states were the lords the nights and the burgers and in fifteen seventy five the king and holy roman emperor. Maximilian the second of the house of habsburg had promised the estates that he would tolerate at least some religious diversity. Maximilian promised didn't really account. For all of the religious diversity. In bohemia though he had promised to tolerate denominations that accepted the bahamian confession of fifteen. Seventy five this was more formerly the confession of holy christian faith of all three estates and it was an attempt to create a confession of faith that most people in bohemia could agree to the bahamian confession was patterned after the fifteen thirty confession of oxburg. Which is the primary confession of faith in the lutheran church and its goal was to try to satisfy everyone or at least as many people as possible with one. Document that bohemia could then formally recognize as the official acceptable statement of faith. It was intended to create a framework for a peaceful coexistence among the religions the three major churches in bohemia at the time where the roman catholic church the requests and the fraught trim or of brethren both the quiz and the unicef retro had hustle and today that unit is fred. Trim is the moravian church. There were also lutherans and other protestants in bohemia but they existed in much smaller numbers. The bohemian confession included things that each of these religions wanted it also avoided material that would be considered unacceptable for one or more of them so for example it mentioned all of the observances that the various churches found to be sacraments. But because the lutherans considered baptism and communion to be the only sacraments. Those were the only two that were specifically mentioned as sacraments while maximilian the second expressed his support for the bohemian confession. He didn't formally implement it before. Dying in fifteen seventy five. It was his son and successor. Rudolph the second who finally made it official. Rudolph signed a document. Known as the letter of majesty on july ninth. Sixty-nine the letter of majesty granted all religions that accepted the bohemian confession. Freedom to worship. The letter of majesty didn't come from a benevolent desire for religious freedom though and rudolf wasn't even consistent about holding it after he signed it in sixteen o eight. His brother archduke matthias had invaded. Part of bohemia after trying to force rudolf to abdicate the so called feud between the habsburg brothers gave the protestant some leverage over rudolph. They agreed to be loyal to him in exchange for their religious freedom so once this letter was signed bohemia was still officially roman catholic but other religions longest they followed that confession had the right to worship freely on the same day. That rudolph signed the letter of majesty catholics and the protestants in bohemia also signed an agreement that laid out the details of this freedom and how they would interact with each other. For example if a member of one of the higher estates wanted to install an ultra quist priest on his land he could and if an ultra quist lived in a catholic parish was attending church and tithing he could be buried in the parish cemetery without having to seek any kind of special permission. But other is catholics and ultra quiz..

"Reserved wine only for the clergy one branch of the ho- sites were the ultra quests. Whose name means both kinds. I had no idea. This dispute about receiving communion in one kind or both kinds was even a thing my entire upbringing as a methodist. The dispute was there wasn't even a dispute. There was a discussion that was more about whether to use bread. That had been made or communion wafers whether it was okay to have grape juice or wine like one kind or both kinds did not even factor into it. This finally though brings us to throwing people out of windows and prague and fourteen nineteen. The city's magistrates were holding several quits prisoner and in retaliation. A group of sites broke into the new town hall. July thirtieth and they threw several city council members and other officials out of the windows. Some of these people were killed and the king wenceslas. The fourth died. Not long. After this now this might be apocryphal. But a number of sources say that he died of outrage because of this defenestration or maybe a heart attack or a stroke that was brought on by his anger over it. I feel like the word. Defenestration is like such an a nice convoluted way to say. We did something really barbaric through the windows. It's a complicated word that sounds like an important and not violent thing. But in fact is tossing people out of windows Anyway this first defenestration of prague is usually marked as the first violent incident in the site wars which spanned from fourteen nineteen to fourteen thirty six when sloughs successor as king of bahia was his half brother. Roman emperor sigismund who was vehemently anti insight. There's actually some debate about what his role was. But he was the person who had promised safe conduct to the council of constance and he was suspiciously absent during the trial and execution you. The hus- sites had huge support. All over hemas took a violent stand against Going so far as to seek papal bull from pope martin the fifth proclaiming an anti hyphen crusade. The cites fought back against that only this crusade but also against another one. That followed it. Peace talks began in fourteen. Thirty one at the council of basel in fourteen thirty three a delegation of how sites spent three months. They're talking about the four core freedoms they wanted known as the four articles of prague. These were the freedom to preach and worship as they wished communion in both kinds punishment of mortal centers and that the clergy should observe vow of poverty and the church should not hold property. This was actually the more moderate set of demands. The has sites had split into two main factions. The and the table writes the table rights. Were a lot more radical and they had gone so far as to establish their own city with the hope of putting all of their beliefs into practice there. So when the council of basil granted. The hustlers communion in both kinds. The chris were satisfied but the terrorists were not so. Then the requests joined forces with the catholics to defeat the terrorists in fourteen thirty four it was still about two more years before the catholics and the ultra quits finished their negotiations for peace and while there were still schisms and incidents of persecution things stay mostly peaceful between the catholics and the sites for almost two hundred years and yon hearst and his work went on to inspire other reformers including martin luther. There was another window throwing incident and fourteen eighty three when a catholic mayor was thrown out of a window of the old town hall. But that's not what people are usually talking about when they say the second defenestration of prague. You'll get that one after a quick. Break.

Wet Notes - 4-9-21
"This is wet notes here scuba shock radio for april ninth two thousand and twenty one first up today. I'd like to give you an update on new netflix. Documentary see spiracy. You might recall that. I introduced you to this film in a previous segment of wet notes. Well it did premiere on netflix's advertised. And i had a chance to watch. She spiracy a couple of weeks ago. The film is eighty nine minutes long and it can be captivating and controversial. Like i said this is certainly raising a great deal controversy especially as it relates to sustainable seafood and fishing. There's a couple of organizations that they called out into spiracy earth island institute and the marine stewardship council actually marine stewardship council issued a response on their website within days of the premier and every day. I see something more coming out related to the controversy. But i encourage you to watch the film and then decide for yourself about what it is saying like. I said lots of controversy. That's spiracy on net flicks now. Here's something that. I found really interesting. I came across an article that talked about how scientists are using thin wales to map out what lies beneath the sea floor. Now according to to seismologists vaclav kina from the czech academy in prague and john nab elec of oregon state university in corvallis oregon the song of the fin. Whales are loud enough to penetrate the earth's crust and revealed deep structures. I guess they have a network of fifty four bottomed size meter seismometers that the tech sound waves traveling through the ground and they picked up the of whales as they were passing by. Now they have a one hundred and eighty nine decibels song and that song can last from two and a half to five hours as they did more analysis they were able to map the underlying rock structures. According to these guys this is just as effective as those air cannons that are polluting the ocean with all that noise how practical this is yet to be seen. But you've gotta admit it is interesting. Now here's an update on the lectured aluminum tanks situation. You might recall back at the end of february. I told you about luxembourg Decision to exit the aluminum tank business and that they were looking to sell their plants in the us and the uk more. Here's some good news. Metal impact out of elk grove village in illinois is acquiring the graham north carolina luxembourg cylinder plant metal impact is no stranger to scuba tank business. They've been around since nineteen fifty nine and in two thousand fourteen. They purchase worthington. Aluminum cylinders has been providing aluminum scuba tanks to excess scuba and see pearls for a number of years. We've got quite a few from excess scuba over the past couple of years and so we're pretty familiar with metal impacts. This is some good news for the. Us aluminum Scuba tank supply chain. There's absolutely no doubt that. The pandemic has had a dramatic impact on the scuba industry. But i guess it's not all bad news if you happen to be in the right place and it seems that hawaii is those right places especially for new diver certifications. There's a recent article in scuba diving magazine. Titled more hawaiians getting certified than before the pandemic turns out that even though the travel has been restricted to and from the islands more locals are turning to scuba aloha scuba on awad who had reported a one hundred and twenty percent increase in new diver certifications. In two thousand and twenty. They went from twenty seven in two thousand and nineteen to eighty three in two thousand and twenty spurred by whole families going for they're open water certification with some great diving. It certainly makes sense to mask up and dive in our aloha state. Last week i was trying to see if the ocean based climate solutions act of two thousand and twenty was being introduced in this session of congress. Well no update on that yet but i did come across something very interesting. There is a house select committee on the climate crisis now. This committee was created during the one hundred sixteenth congress. That was the last one so it hasn't been around long. But they did produce a climate action plan of two thousand twenty. And that's called the congressional action plan for a clean energy economy and a healthy resilient and just america committee is chaired by representative. Kathy castor from florida and the ranking chair is representative garrett graves from louisiana now. I watched their organizing meeting from march nineteenth. Let's say there's just a little bit of difference on the ideas of how to approach In the approaches in making the us carbon zero by two thousand fifty but as representative castor stated. It's time to turn recommendations into policy. Now i'll be tracking our actions and keep you updated here and finally you might recall. Last year the uss bonham rashard an eight hundred forty four foot long and fibia assault ship burned out of control for five days. Now that was in san diego california. But now senator. Marco rubio from florida is proposing that the ship be used to create an artificial reef down in florida little bit of background. The navy did some cost analysis On what it would take to restore the ship to operational status an estimated that that would be somewhere between two point. Five and three point five billion dollars but the cost to decommission and scrap the bonham rashard would be about thirty million dollars. Senator rubio didn't provide any details on where the ship might be sunk and be become an artificial reef but he did say that it could be done for less than thirty million dollars to scrap the ship. This word Happened it would be. We'll keep an eye on it and see where it goes. Fingers crossed that will have another artificial reef down in florida. Something that big to dive on. Well that's it for this installment of wet notes for april ninth. Two thousand and twenty

The Prague School of Rehabilitation and Principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)
"I think for the purpose of this discussion. Let's assume a person has never heard of. Dns has never heard of the prague school or any of these things can you in a somewhat succinct. But not terribly brief manner. Explain to people how all of this school of rehabilitation coalesced around this idea of what we call. Dns going back to the founding fathers of the prague school and what these various insights were that each of them had and how that sort of came together dns dynamic neuro muscular stabilization. Kind of built on some pioneers of functional rehabilitation. There's many that have been part of the prague school rehabilitation. But i think talking about the influence on the development of dynamic muscular stabilization by professor powell whole lodge who runs the rehabilitation department at prague school. At this time. I think we need to go back. Post world war two cold war era. Nine thousand nine hundred fifties his wear prague school rehabilitation was was really founded and it was founded as part of the medical faculty of charles university in prague czech republic or formerly czechoslovakia now czech republic and being post world war two cold war era so they were in eastern europe behind the wall. That may have been a factor for. They're not reliance but tendency towards the use of of observation in both diagnostic diagnosis but observation and palpitation for diagnosis and treatment. All three of these pioneers neurologist. And who are the three. Lot of miranda kerr levitt and ballclub woida professor janda. He had a keen sense of observation and he formulated concepts and principles that tied into pasta habituation specifically the tendency for specific musculature tend towards tightness and other musculature to tend towards weakness. And he he termed this upper cross and lower cross syndrome. So for example with an upper-crust syndrome meaning the neck and shoulder region with demands of life and tendency towards paschel habituation such as with sustained seated postures There is a tendency towards the muscles in the back of the neck the exceptional muscles the external cloud asteroid muscle which is the muscle that also attached to the skull in down to their sterner curricular joint the pec muscles the upper traps that musculature with ten towards a tight meaner over activation other musculature in the upper extremity the radius which attaches to the ribs in the back of the scapula the deep neck flex irs the middle and lower traps would have a tendency to tend towards the weakness and with that tendency towards over utilization or hyper tenacity and underutilization in addition weakness. That would also he also recognized that that would affect the quality of movement throughout the kinetic chain and subsequently would lead to overload in specific areas throughout that kinetic chain so that was a big contribution on his
