Thank you very much Anton. So first it's a great honor to be invited to this conference. Of course Maxime has had a huge influence on everything I know, everything I understand since I started Mathematics. I remember in my first year in graduate school my advisor told me that I should read all of Maxime's papers. This was not easy in Gronowski. So this took me the next several years. But you know somehow this is how I learned everything about homological algebra and operals and the BV formalism and Trincyman's theory and mercimetry and infinity algebras and the modular curves and all this stuff. So I think it seems this great paper from 1994 in the European Congress of Mathematics and I spent an incredible amount of time reading this paper. It was great. But anyway, so today I want to talk about something that's long been a dream of mine. Which is something about understanding some piece of string theory in mathematics. So one of the string theories physicists would like to consider is 2B super string theory, which is something defined in ten dimensions. And then one of the important ingredients in 2B super string theory is adiast CFT correspondence which conjectures some relationship between open strings and closed strings. So what I want to the aim of this talk is firstly understand a small piece of 2B super string theory. So it's going to be some twisted form. And this is you know something which is maybe familiar to many people. Maybe some aspects of this since Witten's work in the 1980s you know for example Witten tried to study n equals to supersymmetric gauge theories and he argued that we're going to understand a piece of that n equals to supersymmetric gauge theory by thinking about Donaldson theory and that was an incredibly fruitful idea. So I want to apply something similar to string theory and supergravity and also kind of prove a very weak form. So some of the version of adiast CFT and am able to access is not super not incredibly powerful but it's it hints that there are more interesting non-perturbative results which can you can see by thinking about this method which I hope yeah should be interesting. Okay so what's what's the basic idea of adiast CFT? First thing I... that's weird. Some kind of gravity is gone. Supergravity, yes. So remember just some kind of basic story of string theory closed strings in type 2b become in some limit 2b supergravity. Kind of if we have say if we're on kind of say on say x for example a 10 10 manifold and have y inside of x for this even dimensional on y I can consider open strings ending on y and this becomes some kind of supersymmetric gauge theory on y. This is the kind of very basic string theory thing and you know very many possibly all supersymmetric gauge theories can be realized in this way in even dimensions. So I want to talk about twisting this story and when we twist the story we're going to get something which is more accessible and more familiar to mathematicians at least conjecturally. So the first thing to talk about is twisting supersymmetric gauge theory. So just say on R4, say or n. You have a supersymmetric gauge theory on or n then it's acted on by definition. This is what it means to be supersymmetric by some kind of a superly algebra. If we choose some q as an odd symmetry which satisfies q squared equals 0 then the twisted theory as in Sergei's talk is is a sense is equal to the q commod you the original theory. So I'll give you a better definition in a second because you might ask what does it mean? What does this really mean? Um better. Well field theories you know if you if you're like me and you like things like the BRST and BV method of considering field theories then everything in your field theory is a homological object anyway. So for example the Hilbert space of the theory is a co-chain complex. H with some differential of BRST and the twisted theory with some kind of new complex. So we just add on this q to the differential and this makes sense because the fact this was a symmetry means that these guys commute and this because because q squared to 0 this still squares to 0. So notice that there's there's going to be a spectral sequence relating this guy to this guy. That's how they're related. So this is something you can compute. This may seem like you know the way I've written it down the procedure is a lap strike but it's something you can really sit down and compute at the classical level by messing around with various forms of various types and spinners and seeing and may various maps between them. Let's see what it means for supergravity. I could be wrong but I as far as I know this is not appeared in the literature and this is a bit more extreme maybe. Let's consider kind of say supergravity on on or 10. Now the difference between supergravity and ordinary supersymmetric field theories is that here the supersymmetry is gauged. That means we the fields here might be a metric and a bunch of spinners and the gauge symmetry is the ordinary diffeomorphisms plus also some fermionic symmetries whereas here it's just a symmetry we're not quotienting by it. So here supersymmetry is gauged. Now the way one way to model this gauging by some symmetry algebra is that we is to introduce ghosts as introduced by Feynman and BRST so that the supersymmetry algebra, sorry this may be a bit obtruse for non-physicists, but you can there's a math way to say it too but maybe I won't have time to do it. Now the way the ghosts work so ghosts what ghosts do it's a way of modeling the quotient by something because it introduces some Chevalier algebra complex based on the symmetry algebra. So the way it works is that if I have an ordinary bosonic symmetry then the ghost is some odd field but if I have a fermionic symmetry then the ghost is bosonic. So fermionic symmetries, symmetry q, q becomes some kind of bosonic ghost then twisted supergravity is by definition supergravity in a background where q is constant. So note that this makes sense q squared is zero and so q preserves something like the background metric. Okay so I hope this wasn't too confusing to the mathematicians. This is just the vector field? Yes it's a vector field. So it's always q squared? No because it's an odd vector field. Think about the Dirac differential that's a derivation of the Dirac algebra. By constant do you mean like a killing spinner? Yes. Okay I said an or 10 but if I did in some other manifold it would be a covariant constant. Yes so the fact is killing spinner that means it preserves the metric. Okay any other questions? We're doing like perturbative supergravity, perturbing around this background. So there's a bunch of fields so I'm saying we're going to perturb around some supergravity background where all of the fields are zero except for the metric and this field. Yes and if you think about it the reason this is a good thing to do is that if I could couple supergravity to some other field theory and then I put the other field theory in this supergravity background that would do what we've said above. So that's why it's a reasonable thing. Okay so now we have some physics and hopefully we're going to get to more mathy things in a minute. So the conjecture is that the twist in this sense of the B model of sorry of 2B string theory say on for example X which is some collabio five-fold sorry in X could be or 10 for example and the reason you want it to be collabio is what Ezra said because that guarantees there to be a covariant constant spinner is the B model. So what do I mean more precisely? So the B model will come from open strings but as I did gauge theory it will come from open string B models and B brains. So that's so I'll explain that in a second. Was it there or yes there are. I wasn't sure if people can see them though because of the angle. Can people see these these blackboards? Yes yes okay. Can you resolve the kappa symmetry? The which symmetry? Which is the kappa symmetry? It's a covariant poison of string theory. Oh yes so I don't I don't know how to do this. I don't know how to do this in the world she point of view. I'm only knowing how to do this in the super gravity point of view and the gauge that we point of view. The reason is that from the world she point of view the space-time supersymmetry is kind of not obvious and I don't understand I mean this is how you should prove it right. I understand space-time supersymmetry of the world she point of view and just calculate but I don't understand that. So why did the gauge replace string theory with super gravity? Well you're absolutely right this is only approximations this is this is I mean you got to hope that there's some better version of twisted string theory which I don't understand at the moment but you're absolutely right this is a twisted form of this approximation to string theory. Because the usual form is not about super gravity, it's about string theory. Yes. Why should it hold on the nose? Well it does hold somehow I suspect the reason the reason it's going to hold is that you could you could further guess that the you know the twist of the actual 2B string is the B model string and the B model string has no instantons so therefore the super gravity representation is a very good one. So the B model again is two pieces it's the open string it's again like X is some calabiow say five-fold and Y inside of X is a complex manifold I can do the kind of holomorphic transimans type, type field theory which you get from thinking about the open string gauge theory which has fields or HOM, OY, OY, tensor GLN, shift of one it's well it's a chiffon it's a coherent chiffon X you resolve it as a perfect complex you take a causal resolution of this guy so for example if if like X is equal to vector spec V a vector bundle on Y and Y is equal to zero section in this case you can compute the ORHOM by a causal resolution and then the fields the double complex of Y with coefficients is this this make you happier yeah I mean all examples will be of this nature anyway that I care a bit okay so you can ask just as a check of the conjecture you can ask do you mean we shouldn't care about other examples or we haven't got to them yet other examples are interesting although if you want to construct things of the quantum level it's much easier to do this kind of example and and to relate to actual supersymmetric gauge theories that's much much easier to do these computations on flat space the conjecture is two parts firstly that the the twist of type 2b supergravity is BCOV theory the second part is that if I take for example holomorphic flat submanifold of OR10 a linear submanifold of C5 then I can twist the type 2b type 2b d-brain gauge theory in the usual sense and what I get is this kind of holomorphic trans diamonds theory that you can actually calculate and it's true okay so this so in the case of say y is equal to C2 inside of C5 you expect from the physics this conjecture should say that this field theory tensor gln is a twist of n equals 4 young mills this you can calculate explicitly and this is true I wrote a paper calculating this several years ago 2011 and there are many other examples where it really is correct so so in what sense is this a precise conjecture yes so there are two parts so the first conjecture is that the twist in the sense of type 2b supergravity just at the classical level for now is BCOV theory and what's because BCOV theory is that what you get by the supergravity theory associated to the b-model so I was about to say that in a minute on x on a collabia 5-fold I was going to say that one more detail in a second and then the open string version is that so here if we um so more generally so the open string version is that the twist of the D-brain super symmetric gauge theory is this kind of holomorphic trance simons based on this kind of gadget yes yes I don't see it here so we're all right but I'm so what we're saying is okay the kind of diagram I want is like open closed EDS CFT and then there's a b-model if open and closed I was about to say in a minute what the closed b-model is but this is going to be so much holomorphic trance simons and BCOV this is twisting this is twisting and here it is CFT and this is I'm able to kind of prove some shadow over the statement I haven't talked about this yet so we expect again that the b-model closed string for example on x a collabia 5-fold should be equal to a twist of 2bc book out this is the conjecture so let's see if I can make this I need to explain to you so one one one we when I'll talk about ADS CFT in this b-twist we first need to understand what the closed ring b-model is oh man that's really silly I love the same blackboard I just pushed up so yeah so I need to explain to you what the b-model closed string it looks like so fields of BC of e theory well you can write them in two ways it's going to be the cyclic co-chain complex of the category of perfect complexes on x and then you can use the Hotfield-Costin-Rosenberg term to write this more explicitly as poly vector fields on x adjoin some parameter t with some differential plus m this is the usual d bar operator such as you to explain briefly poly vector fields on x is the Dalville complex on x of the coefficients in the exterior algebra the tangent bundle and the del operator is is a divergence operator corresponds to the con b operator and a maps omega i x wedge j t wedge j minus one t of x yes exactly yes this is isomorphic to omega 0 i x wedge 5 minus j t star of x and here it's the usual drama yes exactly this this correspondence is all going to work in some non-compact x since I've erased this already yellow so the questions we want to address of the following yes it's the way we're going to treat it is it's a field theory so it's a field theory the bv formalism so it's going to be described by a shifted Poisson manifold like in what Tony's going to talk about this kind of thing however this is a kind of degenerate theory normally it's described by a symplectic manifold this example is not some practice but Poisson so I need to describe you what the the dg manifold structure is and what that Poisson by vector is so the dg manifold as I learned if you remember reading Maxime's papers in the early 90s dg manifolds the differential is given by corresponds to some lead bracket on some space and so it's controlled by the differential graded the algebra differential graded the algebra which is poly vector fields on x t shifted by one with the shoot and bracket you have you with this it's going to formalism and under so to give a dg manifold I need to give you it it's the spectrum of a dg wing got a formal dg manifold so the ring of functions co-chains is Chevalier-Almer co-chain complex so really the dg manifold is equal to some kind of formal formal extended modular space of deformations of x and you can also think of it as the modular of deformations of category of perfect complexes on x as a clavier category degree t is equal to yes exactly yeah oh when I say something like this this is the content of Maxime's famous theorem but formality this equality is this kind of very hard theorem kind of formality there okay well what's the Poisson structure so the Poisson structure Poisson kernel is let me just finish the sentence I think I take the delta function that angle applies delta operator that's the Poisson kernel so sorry you want vector fields to be in degree zero oh yes yes absolutely sorry with that yes and the quantum field theory I will explain in a minute that you can quantize it it's extremely not obvious yes and it's also it's if you think about it it's a non-normalizable so but there's and only in the people case yes but so that was actually the next next topic I wanted to explain is when one can you quantize this and what does it mean yes so when you take co-chains it's a topological vector space okay so when can you quantize and what does this mean so firstly for the closed string you see the answer is that you can always quantize so why why would you expect this so I'll suggest two different ways to think about it so one is one way you think about topological field theory topological field theory in the sense of Max Maxine I didn't work on myself this produces for you something based on a clabio category yeah so that's why it's not really going to be good enough for what we want to do and I suppose you could always think with the compact supported sheeps but I think it's not going to be really strong enough for what we want what the second point of view on this it's my collaborator and myself showed how to do some quantization quantization in perturbation theory no but if you want to get this the kind of thing we're wanting that choice does not appear for what I mean by quantization because you want some solution of the master equation the master equation you don't need to extend to the boundary of the Morford space okay so maybe I'll say a little bit about our argument in a second because our argument kind of similar to the TFT argument Maxine introduced involves the open-close theory so fix a sheaf say e on x can we quantize the couple theory three for like that open the couple open-close theory and the answer is if and only if the total shunt toss of e is zero so the what's that this has to do with you know constant yes and it has to do with something in the a model which you're very very familiar with I'm sure if you want to kind of count curves with boundary on some Lagrangian then in this count there's a bad there's a co-dimension one boundary when the circle shrinks to a point so there's this argument of Dominic Joyce that says if this is the boundary of some chain then you can cancel this anomaly by thinking about some kind of closed strings so it's exactly that kind of thing so in that case you get one higher dimensional model space some choices of conservation and you have yes yes but if you work in a but if you take something which is a kind of canonical trivialization so for example the structure sheaf plus the structure sheaf with a shift then it's going to be canonical so for the structure sheaf on x plus all weps of one there's a canonical quantization of the open-close theory and why is this well the argument cc and I have I think I don't it's kind of a pretty argument but I don't have time to explain in any details given I'm running I have 15 minutes left is that right yeah so I don't have an ascending about ADSEFT so so there's some kind of cancellation between kind of homology groups controlling ambiguities of quantization for the open theory and the final thing you want to ask is when can we decouple the open theory from the tft picture this comes from a kind of co-dimension one boundaries like Maxime mentioned a minute ago I have some surface like this and I might have some cycle there I might have some cycle which shrinks and as Maxime said that the issue here is in the B in the a model this is not a problem but in the B model involves a choice of trivialization of the hodge filtration and you kind of don't want to choose a trivialization of the hodge filtration in general because that's not something you can do locally on a manifold it's kind of a global thing so so the answer is you can do this this isn't money in the following situation some y is an even dimensional club yeah e is a sheaf on y I take y inside of y cross 0 inside of y cross c and then we consider a kind of theory on y cross c with the sheaf I star V well so if you think about these these modulites we're gonna have some solution of the master equation coming from the modular space integrating over top chain to the modular spaces and the boundary the boundary of the modular space that corresponds to various terms in the master equation so if you want to have a solution of the master equation just for the open string piece you want to arrange so that the boundary of the modular space only knows about kind of open string degenerations or not this kind of one okay so I think I'm gonna slap so I think I'm not gonna get to explain much about ADSEFT so I just have to briefly explain what kind of thing we find when we quantize and then a little bit about ADSEFT what does quantization give us and firstly the closed string if I take some kind of open subset of X we have this sheaf of the algebras I can take Chevalier algebra co-chains of this guy and we think of this is from the classical observables so quantization produces some co-chain complex which looks like the same kind of thing with the h-bar dependent differential so the h-bar dependent differential comes from you know things about higher genus surfaces and well it turns out here we had a commutative algebra this h-bar dependent differential with the bv formalism is no longer a commutative product but we have we have product maps 5u and v where she disjoint and w we have a product map like this so this means we have what I call a factorization so how should you think of this I'm sorry that like I have to I'm writing it like a book which is like 500 pages long with one of my collaborators on this kind of factorization algebras so I'm sorry I said everything about it in like half of a blackboard but the picture is the picture is very similar to Graeme's picture but what a quantum field theory does we should think it for example if u v and w are discs that the product comes from a cubordism so that these spaces we assign to you and v they're like the Hilbert space of the theory on on the boundary of the disc this product map is the cubordism so it's the kind of thing you know people are kind of familiar with again any any questions about this probably lost everybody that's so I wanted to get this there's a there'll be a punch line in about a minute so similarly open string it's kind of similar if I have some sheaf sheaf on x which is supported on some y inside of x then I can send you this co-chains h bar the sheaf or hum co-chains of the sheaf or hum with some quantized some differential which depends on h bar and the differ what is the differential the leading term will be d bar and if heuristically it has pieces which come from counting curves like the a model analog of pieces coming from counting curves has a term from the pairing it's a bv operator plus some kind of sum this makes sense I mean just for for people who like top logical field theory and I think I know Kenny's thought about something very similar all that's going on is if you think about these kind of in the a model you think about counts of curves but landing on a Lagrangian there's some master equation that master equation tells you some differential squared is zero that's this differential okay so in the five minutes I want to explain how these things are supposed to be related so I'll explain how they're related in a simple example the example I'm going to consider about is on C3 but I make which is made non commutative and I put on a we have a poly vector field which is d z1 which d z2 so that the first the Poisson bracket is at z1 z2 is one the first two coordinates fail to commute and that we have an inside of this guy I see for the first coordinate side of C3 and my my sheaf is the structure sheaf on C tensor CN plus CN one see the first copy of C inside of C3 yes no it's it's we should really think of it as something symplectic cross C so it's a Lagrangian and the symplectic guy so we can quantize it exactly now if you think about what what do you find if the or harm in this non commutative world well for the first copy of C2 you know we know how to compute or harms in something on commutative that's just we just can we get like that around complex of C and then I join an odd parameter from the or harms in the other guy so that the fields look like C epsilon tensor GL n slash n so if you think about it this is like and the B model for the classifying space of GL GL n slash n another way to think about it is that the topological limit of young males of 2d young males I'm sorry I don't have more time to explain about this okay so one of the open strings of open strings factorization algebra it's an e2 algebra because we're dealing with a topological theory topological the closed strings if you think about what the structure you find and we have see a non commutative C2 cross C well the non commutativity makes a topological here whereas the other guy it's a holomorphic guy thing so it's like an e4 vertex algebra so let's give names for these guys we have the kind of a open string and we're going to take some kind of n as this n goes to infinity so we need to take the end of infinity limit which you can do in this situation and we have kind of closed strings which is the co-chains of poly vector fields and then the theorem that the open string guy is equal to the causal dual of the closed string guy as an e2 algebra sorry this would have been more of a punchline if I had time to explain it so but this is the the more general claim is that this is what the duality gives us each side we have something like holomorphic version of any n algebra when they're causal dual so I take the closed string guy restricted to the sub manifold and these things are casual dual so why I was going to say oh yeah so why is this kind of the very if you look at the classical level this casual duality is simply the Hoshilikoson bosngrithir Hoshilikoson bosngrithir combined with Segan's theorem about large n the algebraic homology so they're a classical level it's a kind of a triviality the semi-classical level there's a Poisson bracket this turns out to be a very hard theorem this is Maxime's formality theorem because we need to look at the Lie algebra structure whether it's the cyclic version of the formality theorem proved by Wilbacher but out of the quantum level it's some kind of deformation of this and from the point of view of physics you know what we're seeing is you know we're computing the algebra of operators and the OPE of the large engaged theory in terms of something kind of dual to this and the closed string theory okay so sorry I ran a little bit over and thank you for your patience differential H bar differential after I'm second fully differential operators yes it's all local well it's a little subtle me there there's some kind of choices but you can make it as local as you like yes yes yes so I didn't have time to explain this so the reason I chose GLN slash N for the reason that you know that means that the fundamental task can be trivialized with a cycle trivializing it also has support on C but if I chose GLN then I would need to trivialize the class of C the class on C3 and that trivialization is going to be something supported in all of C3 which is poles along this C so that means so that's where you know I it's we I don't fully understand this but what happens is that I need to remove C and then I have something which pulls on this on C and so I get something more familiar from the EADCFT picture make any sense I mean I'm still a bit puzzled by this aspect so this is going to be very vague but I'm trying to understand the meaning of what you said and if we drop back down to quantum mechanics E1 yes then we've got say the Durand complex on one side and differential operators on the other yes and somehow resolve the idea of resolution that the Durand complex resolves the constant chief is flung by causal duality into more to equivalence or something is this make any sense it's possible I mean I think it's somehow easier I mean so what we're what I mean we're not saying the Durand complex is causal dual it's why there are co-chains in the Durand complex some deformation of that so this is so at the classical level this is the e2 algebra of co-chains of GLN and at the classical level here it's an e2 enveloping algebra I mean it's some e2 enveloping algebra oh I was simply presenting a kind of a toy model I wasn't meant to be a special case yeah but I mean somehow it's just like a funky field theory analog balls I don't know I can't quite parse it but I see I see what you're saying it looks a little similar so it's a classical casual duality is mediated by by module so it's what's happening here yes yes yes that's an interesting question so another way to say it's mediated by an augmentation is another way to say it so you need to show why why is this augmented and why does that and some of you think but what the augmentation means remember we'll be saying that it's sometimes hard to decouple the open string guy so the obstruction to augmenting this guy is precisely the obstruction to decoupling anything another way to say it is if you look at the couple theory looks like this the harshal comology of that whole string guy and that's what you expect from something to answer your question


Welcome to Toffy TV, it's the Match Preview. Everton vs Tottenham Hodge Bay Monday, they're the people to make the clock kick off at Gwldersham Park, Everton, hoping to extend their unbeaten rum to four games, and hoping to beat Tottenham for only the second time in 20, it'll be 21 games, I haven't won one of the last 20, so that's won in 10 years then. Dominic Calvert-Lewman's head at the last time Everton beat Spears at Gwldersham Park, it took goals from Stephen P and Nikita Jellavitch, both in injury time to beat Tottenham 2-1 off the Clint Densey deflected goal that gave Spears the lead. Those names eh? Yeah, David Moynes was Everton manager, Nikita Jellavitch. John obviously last time out Everton got it. Seven touch was a goal. That's such a celebration. First touch was a goal. Last time out Everton got a 2-2 with Chelsea, you had a good performance, second half especially, good resilience. Missed opportunity? Possibly. Possibly, but like I just said, we've had three games unbeaten now. We're playing against a team that has just shacked them or, sorry, parted ways with their manager Antonio Conte. Does that make it more difficult, less difficult or the shame? Same isn't it? Particularly as Conte had his medical problems, so he hadn't been there for a while anyway. I guess his assistant, who's now the manager, was the guy who was running the show while he was away. Yeah, well, I mean, his back wasn't for the couple of games, but I mean, he was in charge last time out when he was 3-1 up at Southampton, then he had obviously his outburst after that which kind of sealed his fate. But you're right, yeah, they have, still, he didn't write amazing a tough games while he was away having his goal bladder taken out and all that. I just think that particularly at home, some of the teams, like Arsenal for example, and the teams we've played, we just play our game don't we? I think a different Tottenham and or a different us and it would be a so-called expected loss wouldn't it at home? I think the difference is potentially particularly recently is it's hard to see them not scoring and we've still got to get over that hump, which we sort of did at Chelsea. Whereby, if we go behind, then that's it, type of thing. So, yeah, quite the optimistic. Gunnarsson, hopefully bouncing under the lights, all that sort of stuff. Yeah, let's see. Fair play. Hanno Ritchie, which is good. He can be in his box if he's still got it. Spears nine unbeat Nicolle, doesn't three wins, six draws. We did beat them five-four of course in the FA Cup, in the Covid season. Carlo with his coffee, as evidence to God. Crazy game that was. But it's at least, and Spears are a good side. It's always a tough game. Harry Kane, what a footballer. He's got off his son. Evertonians, not fans of, but he's a fantastic footballer as well. He was a great player. You know, they've got real good attack on talent on Lucas Mora as well. They've got players and a fan of Dan Dume. A couple of pantomime villains on Monday for Evertonians. But for us, you've just hit the nail on the head. It's about the goodness and especially what we do. And we've been very strong at home under Sean Dyche. They'll have beat us, but they should never have beat us that day. They should have been three and a half times.  And they went on fair play, they went on on the game, but Everton's other three games. All-worthy winners. Brentford was a different type of win. We had to, first half again, should have put the game to bed. We should have been three and a lot with the break, and we weren't. Second half was a different type of battle and performance. Leeds was as comfortable as a home winners you'll get. And Arsenal was an excellent battle and performance, and even in that game Everton could have scored two or three. That's trumped, but deserved winners. So into general at home, we've done quite well. And we're going to have to play, probably put in almost like an Arsenal type of performance, I think, if we are to come out on top against Spares on Monday. No, I think you're right. And what the manager's been trying to do, isn't it?  And he's talking today in his press conference about indicators, wasn't he? A good indicator was the Chelsea game. I think it was a missed opportunity simply because we gave a reasonably soft penalty away when we were in the ascendancy and feeling quite buoyant. And then of course we were getting equaliser anyway, which not that long ago, even probably underdeich, we might still have thought that we go behind particularly against the quality team. If we have to open up a little bit, they'll exploit that, and that's when we start getting battered like we did away at Arsenal, for example. So that's the little blip to say it's not in their DNA yet to be robust. But yeah, I think they all have to turn up. They all have to do their jobs. The manager, I'm not convinced he can keep getting away with running 11 players into the ground with 10 minutes to go. Because I think when they refresh off the bench, they won't have a particularly big drop-off in capability. And your Dan Jumers of this world, you may be one of those who comes off the bench if he doesn't start, would be with a point of proof and pace to burn against people like Michael Keane who can't turn on the best of days. But by then, if we have anything like some of the performances you've just outlined, it might not matter. Because I think they're not defensively great. I was just looking at it. They've conceded as many goals now as they did in the whole of last season. The most goals they've shipped in the opening 28 games of a league campaign since 2007 and 2008. So they are doing particularly well defensively. I think the goalkeepers are in issue for them, whether that's Fraser Forrester, Hugo Larisse. Well they had to take Larisse out, didn't they? He's on the way, he's on the decline anyway. They will be looking for a goalie in the summer. Job and Pickford obviously has been mentioned with Spades quite a few times. That might change again now, depending on who they bring in as manager. But that's an area that Evan can get at Spades, absolutely. I think so, yeah. The thing for them is we don't score a lot of goals. We have scored five in our last three, which is quite a lot for us. But Everton do have the, since you're on Dites coming, there's only four teams with a higher XG, expect the goals. Then Everton, so we're creating a lot more chances under Dites, a lot more better opportunities. And Spades do give you chances to score goals. South Antony don't really score goals for three past them last time also. Everton have got an opportunity. It's a big game. I do still think Spades, I know the fourth at the moment, will be fifth by the time this game kicks off because Newcastle play over the weekend. Regardless of this result on Monday, I do feel like Spades will be 100% in that fight for that top four as in. And I still do, I think they will finish in the top four. Monday might just represent a good opportunity for Everton just to catch them before. Because I think once they get back to playing week after week, I think they will get results that they need with the ability they've got. Monday might be the best opportunity for us to get that. A luce of win against them at Godderson Park, but it will be a very, very difficult game for Everton. It will, and let's put away that soft claim thing. It's not a claim because it's based on fact, but this one of the highest XGs is AGs that we want, actual goals. But people will say AGs will be assisted goals. Well, whatever. Real goals, goals. Oh, G. Just G. G goals, just goals will be the one. You know, you would say, wouldn't you? Eventually, we're going to have a high XG in a game and actually score more than that. And so, you know, let's get all very optimistic and say, do that on Monday like Sunday and we'll all be very, very happy. Yeah, let's just catch Spades. Yeah, but let's turn up the form to whatever plan the managers come up with. And I think we're getting into, one thing which is good is notwithstanding the outliers like Arsalan, from a result, I mean, in a way, the result against Ville wasn't good, but the performance was okay. And when we've talked on these previews all about the performance, you know, and if you keep getting the performances, eventually the results come. The results go, yeah. And we're getting a level of consistency now, I think. I don't think, gosh, I'm going to. I don't think anyone necessarily expects Spades to turn up and turn us over, yeah. But if we drop off and behave like we did against Arsenal, for example, at their place, then pretty much anyone in this goddamn league can turn us over. So it's on a tipping point all the time, isn't it? So that's where the fans have to turn up again and undoubtedly we will. And, you know, we'll march up Spellow Lane into the ground and give it our all. Hopefully the players do, and let's have a bit of luck every now and again, you know. No, I think, listen, we've, you know, we have been on the end of a couple of thumpings by Spades of Gooderson six-two a few years ago. We were all there, yeah. There's been a three-nil in that time. The next year was probably back two in that game, and they got six. It was the maddest game ever. But they did smell blood and then they took us to cleaners, didn't they? Harry Kane has scored 14 Premier League goals against Evan. He's only lester. He's netted more against in the Premier League. By my recollection, we often leave him alone 25 yards from goal. And he goes, thank you very much. The worst was that year we beat them five-four near fake-up. We drew two-two with them in the league, and he scored two. And for both goals, we just left them and we were winning twice. And for both goals, we left them on his own. We're like, there's one player in that team that you do not leave alone, it's Harry Kane. There you go. We know how good he is, of course. He became England's record goalscorer over the international break. Fantastic. Congratulations to him. Tremendous. He's just been superb every year. He's 20 league goals every year for Evan. Brilliant. Brilliant. All the other play that he brings. Fantastic footballer. Adelaide de Coray has been directly involved in each of Evan's last four Premier League goals. Two goals, two assists. Is there anyone playing for a contract? The four-goal involvements have come in his last three league games. The previous 38 games, we thought that he had no goals or no assists. So, Adelaide, keep going. The managers make a difference. Well, the managers do, you make a difference. Let's hope that Tottenham's managerial duo doesn't make any difference either on Monday. And we get along over G victory, over space. Always a tough game. Like you said, good side full of good players. The first time we've played against the manager has been done for matchfixing, hasn't it? I'm throwing things out there. I don't want matchfixing against the club. Against the club who's done, who was racing this year. There's lots of angles. It's a match preview thing. There's lots of angles. You know, we've just done a show, haven't we? And it will go out when it goes out about, which ultimately, if you're talking about business, we end up talking about quality of boards and things like that. But this Arsenal, you know, when the Levy was a well-run, sorry, Tottenham, a well-run football club, blah, blah, blah. They've just lost the direction of football for it. Angon, Angon, Angon. I feel like I have to defend space here. First and foremost, they are very well-run. A team that doesn't spend incredible amounts of money always in the Champions League, or being regularly, being to a Champions League final. They haven't won something, they haven't got over the line. I've got a little bit of kinship with that, but sometimes I feel like they're just not quite able to do it. But the stuff that is going on at Tottenham, in terms of the direction of football, was stuff that was done while he was in Italy, not at space, nothing to do. He is direct at football Tottenham, but it was stuff that... No, I know it was. At Juventus. No, it was.  I just think that they've got off-field stuff that's a distraction as well. Nobody have yet, of course they have. People talk about, in fact, conference today, didn't they, about off-field stuff impacting the team and all that sort of stuff. So let's hopefully take a little bit of an edge off them as well then, because it is interesting. Let's be honest. In our predicaments, we need everything going in our way to get out of this mess. The way they are, they can afford to... They can afford to lose this game. And then they can go and win the next nine, and I'll wish them well. This isn't a swing for them, but between Champions League and not, is it? Which is what you're saying. It would make a massive difference to us to win, because it maintains that momentum. This is a difficult period for us, for the teams we're playing. And we end up thinking, Crikey, Chelsea, we've got to draw, we've already beaten Arsenal, we beat Tottenham, go off to United. You'd be confident. And you go, you know what? But also we do have to mention them before they could be fifth at the time of playing.  Absolutely. There you go. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. What are you feeling for this one? Always a tough game, Tottenham. Always a tough game. Let us know what you think. And fingers crossed, Evan, finally. It's been a long time since we beat Spades of Godderson in the Premier League. Let us have this one. Come on, we need it. See you later.


Hey, welcome to Combined Wing Chun. I'm Steve with David. Today, I'm going to teach you how to... I'm going to show you how to defend against pushes. So, we got a whale here in our combat helmet. We're going to show you how to do that right now, so stay tuned. Here we go. David from Combined Wing Chun. Make sure you subscribe to this channel to get all the latest lessons and videos that I'm releasing on this channel. Make sure you click the bell next to the subscribe button so you get instant notification of all the new videos that are coming out and you'll be the first to see them. Enjoy the video. So, what you want to do, the first thing you want to do is learn how to turn yourself. So either you are going to turn this way or you turn this way. So now when he pushes on something unbalanced, he pushes in. There's nothing for him to push on. See, if I turn this way, there's nothing for him to push on. He can only push onto one part of your body instead of pushing onto two parts of your body. So as long as you turn either this way or this way, that's your first defense. Turn this way or this way. So that's the drill. We can just do this. Stay straight. He pushes you. And you don't care, right? He pushes you. Don't put some more force into it. That happens, right? He pushes you. And now he pushes you. You turn. He pushes you. You turn. He pushes you. You turn. See how it redirects the energy just from you turning. So that's the first drill. First of all, it's the turn. Now the next one is we're going to put your hands up like a triangle. So I'm doing to put my hands up like a triangle, like this. So when you're doing that, I'm going to combine it with the turning. So I have my hands up like a triangle. I can turn this way. Either way, so what I'm doing is I'm going to turn, turning, turning. And notice that when I'm turning, I split the triangle. I split the triangle. It comes up. I split the triangle. It comes up. I split the triangle. So I'm going up, turning, and then splitting the triangle. And this is like a high five over here. So I'm doing that, like that. So he's coming in. The hand comes up and split the triangle. And notice how this one here reflects his arm here, and this one hits. If I go this way, same here. This one will reflect this one, and this one will hit. So that's when you encounter a push in the middle of a push, and you have time to react to it. So the next step of this drill is he's going to come from further away, and he's going to give me a harder push so that I don't fall over. No, it's from this side. So this is me doing it the wrong way. Go ahead. That's what happened, right? This deal is then pushed. Have to be doing it the wrong way. Other time, start from two more momentum. You doing the wrong thing? That's what's going to happen. I might go fall over a cliff, or into an oncoming traffic, or into some bunch of spikes that might impel me, so I don't want that to happen. So now, he's going to push, hit this turn, and then hit the block with some chain punches. And even with the helmet, you can feel it, right? So if you're with a partner with a helmet, don't hit as hard as you want, you still want to have control with your hits. So he's coming in. So he's coming in. So that's what you want to do. Slow motion. He's coming in. I come up. I turn and slip. When I slip, one hand pushes back, and he pushes in back. And I follow it up with chain punches, like that. And then I run. You don't want to stay there. Over time, he comes in, I open, come up and slip. I follow up with chain punches. With chain palms, you don't want to be hitting the helmet, but if not, it's going to hurt. So it used to be using chain palms. So that's the thrill for a push that you encounter when you are in the middle of a push. Basically, we're going to show you how to do self-defense against a push that comes early or a push that comes late. Alright, welcome back. So we're going to show you how to see what to do when it first comes early. You can see it early. So he's coming in early.  So I need to step to the side. So what I'm doing is stepping to the side. Or stepping to the side.  So I step to the side, I guide. Step to the side, make sure that my foot, outside foot goes out first, outside foot goes out, and I get out of the way. So you see this line, right? There's a train coming this way. I need to get out of the way of the train. The train coming this way. I need to get out of the way of the train. So if I can see it coming early, I want to get out of the way of the train and see what position I'm in now. If he's coming in early, I need to get out of the way of the train. If I don't get away from the train and try to do it, that's what happens. Let's say I'm just trying to redirect him without moving. Then both of us move. Unless you're bigger than him, but he's bigger than me. So he's got all the momentum, it's hard for me to redirect. But I stay here. I can't redirect just by my arms. I can't do that. So what I need to do is get out of the way of the train. So he pushes this into nothing. Okay? If I do it wrong, that's what happens. If I try to block with my hand, that's what happens. If I try to block with the other hand, that's what happens. If I didn't get out of the way, that's what happens. I'm still in balance. One hand's going like this, the other hand's going like this. Now, the next step is to combine it with a tap. So he's coming in, and then here's your big hit. We go this way, that's the hit. Okay? So out of the way, pull up the chain, or you go, drop, drop. Okay? So we turn. Boom. And big giant swing. Okay? You can knock the guy out. You mess up his neck because it's like that, right? So just be careful when you're training. Okay? Or you can go... Oh! Right? Or you can go the other way. Be coming in. Boom! Bam! And then back to pull back. Listen, run away. Okay? Slow motion. I see you coming. Ooh, get out of the way. Fall. Bam! Bam! Okay? All right, so that's what you do when you see the push coming in early. I can see it coming, so I get out of the way. So remember, this is when you can see the push early. If you are this close and he pushes you, you don't have time to move all the way, then you still have that problem, right? So if you're in the middle of the push, like the first one, I need to split it up, turn, and then control the center. Okay? So stay tuned. Stagnate number three is showing you how to deal with a push when it's too late. You already got pushed. How do you recover from that? So let's go to the next video, I mean the next section, and we're going to show you exactly what to do. Welcome back. Now we're going to show you exactly what to do when you do get pushed, and you don't have time to see it coming. You don't have time to get out of the way. You don't have time to get your hands up to do a defense. So what do you do? So this is what happens when he pushes you. That's the problem, okay? He pushes you. Okay? He's a strong guy. He can push a lot of weight. I'm a strong guy. So you're going to go flying. So what do you do? Okay? You push again. I'm going to turn and drop my weight. So that I'm going to go flying. Okay? So he pushes me. I'm going to go turn either way. I'm going to turn this way and drop my weight. I'm going to turn this way and drop my weight. Okay? Do a squat. Not a full squat. Just a half. Okay? So what you want to do is do this horse stance. Okay? I'm not a home guard. We train this horse stance, right? I'm not a home guard guy but that's what they do. And a lot of comfort when they train this horse stance. So you want to get into this stance. Okay? Body straight. Okay? Your tailbone's tucked in. Knees are bent. Feet are wide. Your knees are out. Okay?  Don't lean back. Don't lean forward. Tuck in your tailbone. And straight. So what you want to do? Push comes in. You've got to push. Oh! Then you drop into the stance sideways. Push comes in. You've got to push to ready. Oh! Drop into the stance. You know, exaggerating, but that's what happens. So, once again, the wrong way is if I stay squared with him, that makes my energy go backwards, right? If I turn my body and drop it at least I'm still here. I don't go flying backwards. Okay? So go again. Okay? At least I'm still balanced. Okay? Okay? Okay? So that's the job. He's pushed you. Let him push you. Then drop into the turn. Make sure you turn. And drop into the horse stance. Drop into the horse stance. Okay? So that's the first field. The second part is now we want to do a counter-attack. Okay? So it's low motion. He's going to push me. I'm going to turn and then I'm going to do a straight punch back at him. Okay? So turn straight punch back at him. Okay? Good turn. Straight palm back at him. Let's just turn straight palm back. The practice is going both directions. You can just turn left or turn right. But remember this is too late. You already got pushed. So you want to get balanced and then attack back. Okay? So attack back. So that's what you want to do. Okay? So that's the drill. And how you can train against pushes. Pushes that you can see coming from far away. You have time to react. You have time to get out of the way. Or you beat the bush in the middle. Or it's too late. You got pushed in how to recover and how to counter back.


Welcome. And thanks to all of you that are here and joining us today on this holiday week. It is the day before Thanksgiving Wednesday and wait is today Wednesday, it is all day long. So I'm really excited to have our friend back with us Jack Alotto CFRE with fundraising Academy and Jack's going to talk to us about is CFRE right for your career and before we dive into that conversation with our friend Jack. I of course want to make sure that we honor Julia Patrick, CEO of the American nonprofit Academy for building and creating and having this idea of the nonprofit show as an episode and a platform for all of us. Julia is enjoying a day off today, but she will be back on Friday so make sure that you join Julia on Friday. I'm Jared Ransom also known as your nonprofit nerd even though Julia tries to claim me as her own, but I am the nonprofit nerd plenty to go around CEO of the Raven group. We are so appreciative and have a lot of gratitude to our presenting sponsors especially during this week of gratitude and thankfulness we really want to extend even more appreciation to our sponsors. I'm excited to have them in our corner, and I also like to remind you that they're not just here for us and the nonprofit show they're truly here for the sector at large. So they exist in around throughout all those fun prepositions in your community so check out these sponsors. They really are here to help you move your mission driven goals forward so if you haven't checked them out I encourage you to do so. And we are thrilled because one of our presenting sponsors fundraising Academy has Jack a lotto on their team and we are so thrilled to have you back. Welcome Jack. Thank you I'm glad to be back it's good to see you again and it's the day before Thanksgiving and I'm thankful for you, Jared I'm thankful for the nonprofit show and all the work that you guys do to advance our profession it's great. Thank you I you know we always love having you on and I like to refer to you as a as a fellow nerd as well. When it comes to this profession, I would love for you to share all things CFRE and let's just start if you would Jack by just telling us what does this acronym stand for and how might we use it in a profession. Well, CFRE stands for certified fundraising executive, and it's a credential. It's a credential that you work towards and it is pretty much the standard of excellence in our profession. Of course, other credentials out there, some specifically related to plan giving which are really awesome, and some that are even like an ACF RE, which is advanced certified fundraising executive and very small number of people in that. When I first got my CFRE you may not know this there were about 3000 of us. Now with the pandemic, a lot of people have decided and now it's the time to really up their game as it relates to our profession. There's about 7000. I didn't realize there was an advanced CFRE in a well. Wow. And it's a two year program I don't know much about it and I don't really feel comfortable speaking to but it's an awesome program as well. There are some out there. So I would like to know, Jack, when did you earn your designation of our CFRE and you mentioned that when you did there were only about 3000. Yeah, and I think I'm at least a CFRE for 10 years. I'm up for recertification in April. So once you achieve the certification, you must renew it and recertify every three years. The good thing is you don't have to take the exam when you recertify. Well, that is the really, really thing that that people work on want to pass that test. Well, let's talk about you know what are the benefits. And then we also have this word implications of earning this designation. And because you had shared a little bit about this before we went live, but really the value of this designation and how it might really up level our career. And then I'd love for us also to talk about how you've seen an increase over the last two years of seeing this truly as a benefit. I think the first thing it does when you achieve any credential, whether it's CFRE or any other credential, you show a level of confidence. You tell the world that I have achieved some level of competence. It also gives you credibility.  And it tells the donors that you have achieved a degree of excellence in six domain areas in the fundraising profession. The last one, which is just as important is ethics and accountability, and donors want transparency. They want to see us as ethical and accountable professions professionals. And so it shows it shows commitment to fundraising. People who are here today watching this show are showing a commitment to fundraising, or if you come to one of the webinars at the fundraising Academy, or any other professional development things you do. It shows the world that you are committed to your profession. And that's what the CFRE does in particular. I'd like to know, Jack, if you happen to have this information, how many individuals do you think or know have paid for the CFRE designation, perhaps on their own? Or are you seeing an uptick in value of the employer really designating these professional dollars towards their workforce to achieve this designation. Yeah, it's funny you asked that question, because just yesterday, CFRE International published the results of a survey they did, and what they found is that 51% of CFREs, they surveyed all the CFREs in the world. And we're in most, if not all of the English speaking countries. I've had, by the way, I've had people in my CFRE study groups from Singapore, Hong Kong, the Congo. I just last week had a conversation with CFREs in Australia. So we're all over the world. This is a designation that is recognized internationally, which is great. But this survey that CFRE sent out, they found that about 51% of current CFREs say that their employer paid part of or all of the costs of achieving their CFRE, which for me, honestly, is a disappointing number. I know it's gone up since 2018, but it's still a disappointing number to me because what do we have when we work in a development department? We have a team. And I think it's so important for those managers out there, those people who are managing other development professionals to recognize and put some money into their professional development, especially if they go to you and say, hey, Jared, I want to be a CFRE because I want to learn more about marketing or securing a gift or relationship building, or actually any professional development thing. Put some money into your people and it will come back to you tenfold. I think one of the things you also said, and thank you for having that number, that is perfect timing that CFRE international provided 51%. So that that is real time data, essentially. I would like to know, because I feel that, and maybe you've seen this as well, because again, you know, Jack offers these study guides, study groups to many, many CFRE individuals that are studying to earn and achieve this designation. And so looking at this, oftentimes there are, I'm going to pick on the women, right, but women see this as an opportunity to help them gain reentry into the workforce. So this could be and I, when I use reentry, I'm really talking about, you know, moving from a stay at home mother role into their career again, or maybe they were caring for an elderly parent and re entering back into the workforce. And this designation can truly help to, I don't know, I don't maybe advance them or level where they were. Yes, and you know I love to tell the story of someone who was in my last study group, not the most recent one from who actually left the workforce to raise her children. She left the workforce, she got out of it she worked in development. And then when she came back after having been out, I don't know, 10, 910 years raising these children.  So that's where she said that's where she started and she said, when she got her CFRE she said, I wanted to do this, because I wanted to prove to them that I'm still competent at this profession. You know the other thing which is important you know what I said to her, well maybe now's the time for you to start looking for people who will value you as part of their team. And in connection with that, you may not know this but CFREs on average earn 17% more in salary, 17%. That is so significant.   And so he never went back and finished that degree and he said, I really want to get this certification, not as a replacement for a college degree, but but as a him showing this commitment to the profession and his own advancement in knowledge and understanding of this profession we work in. And he got it in the same way the woman who dropped out of the workforce and not you know for me, this is why I do these study groups, because I get so much joy. Well, and the benefits as you said so whether someone perhaps did not finish their college career or looking to re entered to the workforce after being away. That is a huge benefit but that number that you shared with us jack 17% of a higher salary or higher increase in pay that in and of itself is a wonderful benefit which What are the costs. So that's that that's a great question. So the cost for certain you know to get certified to take the test is $875. You belong to one of the national organizations like the Association of fundraising professionals AFP, or the Association of healthcare professionals, and there I think are like 23 or 24 professional groups that CFRE gives a discount to those members and $875 or $700 is still And then on top of that, you have to buy some materials to study. You know the test is six domains here's what they are prospect research, securing the gift relationship building volunteer involvement leadership and management and as I said earlier to ethics and accountability. So you have to study each of those domains to get to a passing score. The cost to buy the materials to study that could be pretty pricey. Now, I only recommend buying some of those materials, just because it's, it's, it's better and cheaper And not buying it all because you could spend over $3,000 in addition to the $875 so we don't want to do that. It makes me think you know when I was in college, I either wanted to share a textbook with with a classmate, or I certainly was the one buying the used textbooks when I could. And actually you can. Yeah, you can get like I so one of the books I love and I think every development professional should own is achieving excellence and fundraising. A fourth edition now you could buy that use, but here's a little trick that I like to tell you know Amazon owns audible.com and audible will give you a 30 day free trial on any book. So you can go and get achieving excellence and fundraising the audible and read it in 30 days now for me, I have to have a copy of it. I'm an old fashioned guy who needs a book, you know, to read highlight and to annotate. Yes, yes, you know, I know some people get older pages but yeah, well talk to me about the study group you've talked about it a couple of times or you've mentioned it. A couple of times, or you've mentioned it a couple of times. And I did not realize Jack that you're also working with individuals across the world. So in this designation, share with us if you would your role in the CFRE study group and cohort and how we can learn more about that. So I actually our next study group starts January 15. Okay, what it is it's, it's seven Saturdays. And each Saturday is an hour and a half. And what we review is each of the domains. So we do an intensive review of prospect research how to develop a prospect profile, how to find prospects, your CRM system, and then, you know, CFRE is a relationship building model. It's a lot like cause selling in that respect. The model we use at the fundraising academy. Yes, I can't miss putting my plug in for cause selling. So it's a relationship building model so the majority of the test like 48% of the test is about securing the gift and relationship building, which is awesome because let's face it it's that's what it's all about. Yeah. So it runs seven weeks I do two other things. So this year I tried something really interesting, I call it my yet group. Okay, and it's, it's, I do not talk about people failing the test in fact I rarely talk about people failing anything. I always say when I was in high school I remember I went to my mom and I said, Hey mom I failed chemistry and she said you did not fail chemistry. You just haven't passed yet. Yes, so it's the power of yet. So that's my thing when people come to me and they do and they say hey, I didn't pass the test. I failed the test I say you didn't fail the test you just haven't passed it yet. So I had this group of about 19 people who haven't passed the test yet. And yet, it's the power of yet. And so I also do that set a group we do those on Wednesday nights, 4pm Pacific time and I, you know I just love. It's so inspirational to me Jared to see the commitment persistence that people bring to this. And you know they may have not passed it yet once or twice, and they say but I'm going to do it. And I love that. And you know what I say to them. I am with you for as long as you want me there. They are so lucky to have you on their team and in their corner jack because and I love the power of yet and hearing this childhood story from your mom what a what a beautiful story and trajectory and cheerleading moment that we all need because, you know as you had mentioned the story of a previous gentleman that I did not finish his college career, because of, you know, a life interruption or just kind of a moment, but really looking at this designation, you can earn this or work towards earning this at any time is that correct so that's true. Yes, and you know something else, my study groups, they're free. There's no cost and in fact you could find my study group on their website. Here's here is the thing it's this is the thing that I do to give back to our profession. You know I'm fortunate as a consultant as a trainer at National University and the fundraising Academy, they pay me for those things. So it frees me up to do things for our profession, like you guys are doing. We're in the same boat where we you and Julia and me are in the same tribe. Yes, yes, you know and as well as the fundraising Academy, and some of your sponsors, like blue meringue, you know I mean we are in this tribe of advancing our profession. Here's the thing that I say, when we train people as to be better at fundraising, all boats get lifted. If they're working in homelessness. Less people will be homeless, because they'll be able to raise more money. If they're working in the arts, there will be more ballet and music. If they're working in social services, or feeding the poor. It benefits everyone. When people come to the nonprofit show and they learn techniques that make them better at fundraising or CFRE we are helping a big group of people. Yes, and thank you because I do believe bringing more value to this is needed. These shows these episodes are free your study group is free. Very much, you know, needed right now, and that's definitely something that, you know, I hope we can, Jack, get that 51% of an employer contribution up, and I would like to ask you probably, you know, the million dollar question, how do we do that how do we talk to our employer how do we talk to our boards, how do we talk to the CEO or whomever to say, this is the value of the designation this is what I bring to you in addition to my experience. How might we collectively increase this 51%. That's a great question, and I will tell you that the answer to that question is on the CFRE international website. Okay, give you the tools to speak to your employer, how you're going to be able to raise more money, you're going to be able to find more prospects, you're going to be able to close more gifts. You're about to start a capital campaign, you're going to bring credibility to those big gifts that you have to have to bring every single time I go through a study group chair, I learned additional things about fundraising. So every time I look at the achieving excellence in fundraising book, or you know, CFRE publishes a study guide, which is reasonably priced I think it's 45 or 50 bucks. Every time I look at that every time I read something in there, I learn more about fundraising, and it makes me a better fundraiser, and then I'm able to help other people be a better fundraiser.  I want to spend some time going to free webinars that the fundraising Academy does, or I want to study for the CFRE and they say no I'm not going to give you the time. Maybe it's time to think about another employer. I think that wants to invest in you. You know, what are the resources we have in fundraising, we have people, we have time, and we have a budget, put the budget into your team members guys. If you're a manager, put some money into their professional development. And not only that, let them decide where they want to go. Maybe they want to learn more about planned gifts. Maybe they want to run capital campaigns, maybe they want to be major gift managers, or major gift officers. Put money into that. My fortunate thing is I worked in healthcare philanthropy throughout most of my career. They invested in their employees. I went to every single thing that they would pay for. Absolutely. That is so good. You know, we had a question come in asking about the clarification for the 51%. So, Jack shared earlier that the CFRE International just did a study and found that of the CFRE designations or designations that only 51% of those that earned their designation received contribution from their employer. So that means the other percent did, you know, receive zero support, financial support from their employer to all out of pocket for those individuals. But 51% of those in the study for the CFRE International did receive financial support from their employer. And so that's what we want to increase. We want to have, you know, our employers really value these opportunities like the designation for CFRE, like the cost selling that you mentioned with fundraising Academy that in and of itself is a phenomenal model. I love the steps, having Tony on Tony Bell with fundraising Academy, learning the cost selling model was really phenomenal. I've been in the sector 20 years and as I told Tony, wish I had this 20 years ago. No kidding. I mean, it's, I love the cost selling model. I've pretty much trained in every part of it. It's great. Well, this has been phenomenal learning about the cost, the time, the process, the not yet having that group. I'm so thankful Jack that we have you in the sector. Your passion definitely shines through your commitment to not only the individuals but to philanthropy as a profession really shines through fundraising Academy is lucky to have you as are we at so glad that we're, we're here on the same team. So if you're interested in earning your designation with CFRE or you're interested in joining Jack for this January 15 January 15 study group 15 study group. Reach out to Jack. He's also on LinkedIn. I love seeing your updates on LinkedIn Jack where you're, you're giving your shout outs to your individuals that have gone through your study group and have in fact recently earned this designation of the CFRE certified fundraising executive. So, so thankful for you Jack. Thank you for joining us today. Julia missed a great conversation but again she'll be back on Friday so make sure you join Julia. I have the day off, but looking forward to the holiday and thanks again, again, a deep appreciation, gratitude and to our sponsors. Yes, thank you so much. I'm really lucky to have them on our team as well and in the sector, lifting up as you said all of these boats all of these boats need to rise together so thank you to all of our presenting sponsors that join us in these conversations each and every day. Jack, I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving and for you as well. Thank you so much for all of you that have joined us we are so grateful that that you have taken this time and see the value in these conversations just as much as the CFRE designation.  I hope that if you're not with your family that's right at least take some time to rest and reconnect into charge. So we like to end every episode and I will definitely end it as well today. Please stay well so you can continue to do well. Thanks so much Jack it's always nice to spend some time with you.


Now since many aspects of this higher education commission of India Bill and the government's attempt and their ill motives Have been addressed and taken care of by my previous speakers So I won't take much of time. I've taken time out of my parliamentary seat But my political meeting is going on and reminder is there So and professor so got the bus was to rest for another meeting and since my colleague in my Poirage bureau, that's near Palpas. He's already elaborated some aspects. So I'm not going to repeat those things Already we have formulated our position as a party and Has written to the prime minister the general secretary of the CQM has already written Expressing reservation and elaborating on certain aspects. That's already in the public domain I mean Parliament tactics, which is going to be adopted by us that we're not discussing here But whatever we have learned in our formative stage in early 90s when just one synergy was together We are together in Rastava that we will employ and as the introduction level itself we will put our objection so that We will not allow them to introduce her for the first place and if at all introduced Then the bill has to be sent to the committees now these days. We have already written to the presiding officer that in the Lok Sabha that Normally they don't try to send those bills to the committees You know, you know the land acquisition bill, you know the citizenship amendment paid Incidentally a member of those committees and those committees are still there, but not functioning so bills are also not coming but all said and done as Madam rightly pointed out Giving the example of J.M.U. that democratic practicing democracy is there But we had a functioning functional democracy but now Oh, then or thing Just one thing he said that a good mother-in-law best be with us Off with good mother-in-law chai be shared with her central hall. They didn't just sit chai walla again. Oh, good. I'm the chai Not chai. No, no good mother-in-law best. Hey, it's a good mother-in-law And there be or bar good mother-in-law I think that this is not an isolated matter, it is a targeted matter. The scheme of things that is going on all over the country, our society, politics, and other areas, are also being used in your higher education areas. And it is especially used in higher education areas because where our constitutional scheme of things is its practical training. That is the basis of our citizens. And this is not just here. When the Islamic revolution took place in Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini's first statement was that Tehran should stop Mishwit Dalaiyat because everything is going to be destroyed. So he thought that this is a thought and this is the light of that thought. I believe that this target is the public funded higher education which is inclusive. Now people like me and Niratpal Basu, both of us, at the Jadupur University, he came from a privately owned, Onathi, most sophisticated institution, South Point School of Calcutta. I came from a humble background of a municipal free primary school. But that public funded institution has given us this opportunity. That is inclusiveness. That is sharing, that is bonding. And that is, as a citizen, you develop your social, economic, cultural views and then world view. And this is what the present day's rulers say, they do not want. And that is why, different from Jahlal Nehrabishwit Dalaiyat, or Hyderabad Central University, or Jadupur University, these are targeted. Because this is free thinking, this is thought. And the widest, the poorest, the poorest, the most socially outcast women, they do not want to be a part of this participation. And that is why, they are accepting this way, with their own ways, with their own colours. When history is being replaced by myths, science by superstitions, anchors and generalists by propagandists, then the public funded institutions, the education institutions, they are also through their own private institutions. There will be no public scrutiny, no accountability. And that is why I think, when you discuss academia, as your organisation in your campus, it is our duty, as a representative of the people, to take up those issues. And it happens that, when you came here, they were saying, we came here for a long time, so when we too, in the chairmen's house, or in the speakers' house, sit here and have a meeting, Mr. Manoj is here, and we often have to come here, for opinion formation, this is very important. Now, from here, this thing, as you, from the campus of Vishwamidhalaya, have reached here, to reach here, it is our duty, to reach here, in the presence of these things. But the problem is, the era of time, speak from that era, speaking from the era of time, it is an area of the outside world, speak from the outside world. And that is why, I think, the stakeholders, students, teachers, academia, HKS administrations, they all need a male bandit, and that is why they say, Insulin is not the only one, with the rest of the people. You are doing this, so I am giving it a lesson, that you have done this, and from the participation, it is said, that people have advised it. And I think, it will take us to a very far place. Secondly, UGC, I think it is a very ideal location. Over the years, we have said, that it should be changed, there should be some change, there should be some progress, there should be some participation. But all the way, it is just, it is not a mis-based priority. They think it is a priority. Like, from the Planning Commission, Nitya Yoke, as they are saying, they are all together, UGC, and then, on the television channel, at 9 o'clock in the evening, at 9 o'clock in the evening, at 9 o'clock in the evening, at 9 o'clock in the evening, the rest of the people will also be there. They will discuss, what a good vision it is. What a good thought it is. But, we also want, that there should be some improvement in UGC. But they are spoiling it, they are throwing it away. The country had asked for it. One spark, only for the light. Nizam has given the order, let's light it up. We were asking for light for the light. And, they are burning the light. And, in the television channel and in the media, there are people sitting there, who will look at the light and say, wow, it is so bright.  But actually, it is not a wall, it is the wall of the government. And, you and I are on the same boat. And, just like, as we were saying, Mr. Jaswant Sinha, he is truncated. Discussions are decreasing. Days are decreasing. Seatings are decreasing. So, the democratic sense, the democratic values, the democratic institutions, they are not ready to accept it. And, all these attempts, they are trying to replace our democratic institutions with our prokhetic system. And, that is why I think, the attempts to save our country's democracy, along with that, the attempts to save our institutions, are getting somewhere in the world. And, if we get both of these, then we will get our democracy. And, I understand that, I am not a pessimist. I am hopeful, on many counts, we have resisted, we have taken on, and collectively, we can resist, even this, in motive, effort by this government. Thank you very much.

Hello, what's going on people my name is Mark and I like to day trade swing trade that sort of thing So that's what you'll find across this channel. I'm actively trade forex, but a couple of the USD pairs Today I'm talking about euro USD. They've actually got some really nice horizontal patterns are really consistent so that's what I've been looking at the GBP in the USD is quite a good and Also the euro and the USD's been looking quite good So I thought I'd just give you my thoughts opinions on this and when I'd potentially be looking to buy And that sort of thing so if you look here you can see we got this consistent kind of horizontal pattern Over the past couple of months over the past about six months, which is good. Obviously you can see it's it's been on an uptrend Since then right so it's it's been on uptrend. It's kind of been on this horizontal pattern for the past Maybe slightly less than six months maybe about four months So let's go ahead and start with the Supports from resistances right so with the support some people like to just draw it at the very bottom of where it's been Right, so you can see it's right here, but I just tend to look for where it most consistently Bounces off right so that's probably about there. So that's three times, right? Can you see that? so you can see that It's hit it here It's it's cross slightly blight here, but it's still kind of work this way and then here it's hit it and then here It's hit it right and then if you look most recently which It's on the 20th so about three days ago We kind of touch close to this level again, which is one two two three six, right? And then you can see from there. We've had a couple of green candles This set off got rejected hard. You see it's pushed If we make that a little bit bigger you can see it's pushed all the way down on this candle here Right, can you see the end of this candle is pushed all the way down and that's been rejected and It's come all the way back up since then Right, and then let's draw the Resistance in so probably around here about this level here can see that it's hit it here bounce hit it here Hit it here hit it here, right? So you can see there's a decent margin for profit as well, okay? so I mean realistically if you if you just wanted to kind of take a guess or Be a little bit more aggressive than now wouldn't be a terrible time to buy You can see that we've got some green candles Looks like it's been consolidating a bit around this level here kind of a bit sideways movement for the past two candles But there's nothing that's gonna stop it There's realistically there's nothing that's stopping it from pushing down to these I want you to a 8 levels even even down here Even I mean it could drop all the way down here for you know, right? But I mean that's what we do. So there's a couple of other things that I like to look at so As always as I always say If you aren't familiar with this is moving average there'll be like videos about it and I've got links in the description That will that will help with that So what the 180 and just to kind of you can see sometimes acts as a resistance not super relevant here It's all about identifying the patterns for each one. There's not like a hard and fast rule For each but so look at the 15 period Exponential moving average was a little bit more sensitive. I do that on green because you know the color of money and all that Right, so if you have a look here Especially because of this kind of consistent horizontal pattern if you look when there's a strong break above the EMA We tend to see this uptrend pattern, right? So it does a break here as an uptrend break here as an uptrend Break here uptrend, right? And then when the candles trend below We typically see this kind of downwards pattern, right? You can see break above and it's up break above and it's up and because it's at this This support point right this quite this quite low support point I would imagine and this is my opinion once it breaks above the EMA here We're gonna see it push up to these levels again, right? Which is gives you a decent margin profit margin margin for profit Okay, so this this is kind of plan it safe if you wait for the break above the EMA Then that's a good sign that we're gonna get some upward momentum on this a couple of other things You can look out to make sure that you're getting a good deal, right? Because I think sometimes people over complicate like stocks and Forex and and that sort of thing right and basically all you want to make sure that you're doing is You're getting a good deal. Okay, and these are the steps that we can take So for example if you went into the shop and bought a loaf of bread and they was trying to charge you 20 Bounds for it you you'd probably know that that's not not a great deal for that loaf of bread, right? but But that's because you're aware so you just need to do things that make you make you aware that it's not a Good deal or if it is a good deal, and I hope that analogy kind of made sense. So you can see on the RSI as well That it's oversold which is another good indication that it's probably gonna take a turn up, right? So this is this is a good indication that it's a good deal to buy Now but as I like to play a little bit safer and wait for the confirmation break above the EMA Another thing we like to look at is the MACD as well And wait for these candles to curve in so you can see that the MACD has which is a good sign You can see that the the red histogram has been moving down Right, and then you can see these candles are starting to curve back in We're getting the green sign curve back in and then once they curve back in You'll get the cross on the MACD and the signal line, and then it will come in for a buy Hopefully break above the EMA and the RSI will turn and start pointing up and then once you get all of those three things That's I mean that's as close as you can get to like a guaranteed. I don't want to make any promises But that that's a pretty good sign That it's gonna be a nice Push up to to previous levels that we've seen so that's my take on it That's how I normally trade my stocks as well Just kind of dabbling into Forex and I'm gonna apply the same strategies I use the stocks and Forex and just gonna see how it plays out I've had a little bit of luck so far If you enjoyed this video, there's playlists and I do weekly breakdowns on the stocks and stuff that I'm trading I'm also doing a challenge at a minute turning two and a half thousand dollars into Ten thousand dollars and at the minute we're about three and a half thousand so in a week five days So if you're interested in that check out the channel subscribe like the video and Yeah, I mean I hope it was helpful. I hope it was helpful and I will catch you guys Some other time. Thanks for watching
