Hello everyone, welcome to Options with Doug. Streaming live daily on Bookmap Discord and the Bookmap YouTube channel at 1.30pm Eastern Time. Before I get started, I need to go through the Disclosures. General disclosure, all Bookmap limited materials, information, and presentations are for educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations. Risk disclosure, trading futures, equities and options involve substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. The focus of my presentation and the focus of the Options-Doug chat channel on Discord is options, order flow, the impact of options markets on stocks and futures, and the influence of market maker hedging flow on price action. I have a two-step process for trading in the first is planning and I use positional analysis. I look at how traders and market makers are positioned at the options market and how those positions change from day to day to develop a thesis regarding the expected trading range and volatility for the day as well as the directional bias. And the second step in my process is execution. And I look at real-time order flow in Bookmap and real-time market maker hedging flow in Spot Gama Hero to confirm my thesis and for setups for entries and exits. And I will be talking about setups today and just to be clear, my analysis is based on the options market and order flow. But the setups I will be talking about, I'll just be talking about an underlying asset and those setups can be taken in any number of ways with futures, shares of stock, or options. Questions and comments are welcome and I will be watching both the Options-Doug chat channel and Discord as well as the chat and YouTube for your questions and comments. So please feel free to post any questions or comments you might have. Let's get started. When I want to cover today, go over economic data and events for today. There was a key data release this morning. And then I'll briefly talk about what's coming up next week. Then I'll go through my positional analysis, my planning process for the day. Then I'll review a few setups. And then we'll take a look at the live market. And when we get to the live market, if anybody has anything that they want me to take a look at, please let me know. Stocks, other stocks than what I have planned to talk about. All right, let's get started. First of all, economic data for today. The big number for today was the U.S. non-farm payrolls at 8.30 a.m. Eastern time, shown here, came in lower than expected and also lower than the previous number. And there was quite a reaction, both up and down to this number. We'll take a look at in a few minutes. And then the other numbers, the average earnings, looks like a little bit better than forecast, employment rate inline. All right, so that's the data for today. Now next week, there will be a couple of key data reports. I'll talk more about this on Monday. But CPI and PPI come out next week. So again, I'll talk more about this on Monday. All right, let's get started with positional analysis. This is the S&P 500 futures in book map. And just to point out, this is the data release at 8.30 a.m. Eastern time. Initially, a very bullish reaction and rejected around the SPI 440 SPX 44-15 level price reverse lower, found support. Looks like an inverse head and shoulders there throughout the morning. At the SPX 4400 level, that is a very key level. That is the absolute gamestrike for SPX. By the way, can anybody hear those alerts? I have alerts set for stops in icebergs. Just curious. In Discord or in YouTube. All right, so I will assume not. All right, so levels in play. And this really took a while to play out. A lot of chop in the morning. And then price, finally, reversed higher. Right around the typical 10.30 a.m. reversal. Cole says he can hear them. Let me thank you, Cole. I'm going to turn these off. Okay, thanks again, Cole. All right, so levels in play. Primary levels as support. Very clear. The SPX 4400 level and the SPI 439 volatility trigger. Before I go take a closer look at this chart, go in any further. I want to take a look at a larger time frame. This is the SPX chart for and think or swim showing 30 day one hour. This is a 30 day one hour chart. Let me point out some levels on this chart. The dash blue line showing the lower and upper daily expected move for SPX and note now that SPX is right up at that upper daily expected move. And then the dash purple lines are showing the lower and upper weekly expected move. And so far, SPX is appears to be just about unchanged for the week right in the middle of that range, maybe a little bit lower for the week. They're also this chart is also showing key spot gamma levels. For SPX, there's the SPX 4200 put wall. That's a strike with a larger net negative gamma that can be expected to act as support that is not in play, obviously. The next level up is the 4400 level that I mentioned before. That is the spot gamma absolute gamma strike a very key level by far the most gamma put and call gamma is located at that level. And then just above that is the volatility trigger at 44 10. This is spot gammas proprietary gamma flip level below that level. Market makers position on the gamma curve is negative. In a negative gamma environment, market makers have to trade with price to hedge their delta exposure. And that tends to enhance or increase volatility. We'll take a look at the Vanna model in just a minute and that will become more clear showing how market makers delta notional changes with changes in price and implied volatility. So SPX is now trading above that 4400 level as well as above the volatility trigger and the lower weekly expected move it tested that level earlier. And then the next level up is the call wall at 4500 and also the volatility trigger again spot that a spot gammas proprietary gamma flip level above that level like SPX is trading now. Market makers position on the gamma curve is positive. So that's the current condition. In a positive game environment, market makers have to trade against price to hedge their delta exposure. Alright, so let's take a look at levels that are in play for today. Let's go to a one day one minute chart. Got the same levels on this chart. Here's the volatility trigger. And in the morning, there was a lot of price action above and low that below above and below that level. And note that SPX opened just above opened and move down just above the lower weekly expected move and has been trading up. And then finally this upper daily expected move at about 4440 is acting as resistance so far today. Alright, let's go back to book map now. So we see the levels in this larger range as well as the SPX levels in range for today. In my book map chart, I have I'm showing the same levels, the same SPX levels as well as spy levels. And there's the upper daily expected move for ES. And that is just about at the same level as the SPX level. And then SPX levels again, there's the 4400 level. And note there's about 35 point difference between ES and SPX. So ES 4435 is equivalent to SPX 404400. And note that now I am just showing my column of cloud notes. The spot gamma cloud notes were not updated. They were still showing a 47 point difference between ES and SPX. And that's just not correct. So I just gained a little bit more screen space here. And I'm just using my cloud notes. Another level in play. These two levels the spy 440 level as well as the SPX 4415 level noted as resistance in the spot gamma AM founders note acted as resistance this morning. And then price finally broke above that just before noon. I guess after the European close price got going higher. Right so those are the levels in play for today for the SAP 500. There were some shifts in levels for SPX. The volatility trigger did shift higher from 4395 to 4410. Otherwise the put wall call wall and absolute gamma strike are all the same unchanged for spy. The volatility trigger did shift lower to 439 shown on this chart. And then the call wall shifted higher. And that is that's somewhat bullish indicating that the spy call wall shifted up from 445 to 450 moving that potential ceiling or trading range the ceiling for the trading range up from 445 to 450. So anytime there's a move higher in a call wall I interpret that as as bullish. Alright so that's the S&P 500. We'll talk about setups in a few minutes. Here's NASDAQ and again I'm just showing my cloud notes now. Before I take a closer look at this chart let's take a look at a QQQ chart. Just showing levels under play in 368 is the volatility trigger and price has moved above and below that level. Just before noon it did act as resistance and now price has broken above up to the 370 call wall. And note for QQQ that call wall did shift lower from 372 yesterday to 370 today. So that ceiling and this should be if the call wall does its job should act as resistance. So on a bullish Friday it may not do its job. But anyway that is the call wall for QQQ again dropped lower from 372 yesterday and that yesterday the call wall also shifted lower. So on Wednesday the call wall for QQQ was at 375 shifted lower yesterday to 372 and today to 370. Also for QQQ the volatility trigger did shift lower slightly from 369 to 368. There were no shifts in levels for the NDX. Alright let's take a look at the Vana model now. I actually go back and we need to look at book map NQ. Typically the levels are not not quite as clear on NQ as they are on the S&P 500. This 15,150 NDX 15,150 did act as resistance earlier today after the data release at 830. Then the 15,125 acted as resistance and there's the 368 QQQ 368 volatility trigger acting as resistance and then price moved higher again probably after the European close. Now up to the upper daily expected move in this cluster of levels there's the QQQ 370 call wall NDX 15,200 absolute gamma strike and call wall and also the upper daily expected move. So a cluster of levels there that could act as resistance. Alright let's take a look at the Vana model now. I like to look at this chart every day to understand how market makers may react with changes in price and implied volatility. So this chart is showing market makers delta notional their delta exposure and how that changes with changes in price. Delta notional shown on the vertical axis price shown on the horizontal axis. There are two curves on this chart. The first the light gray is showing how market makers delta notional changes with changes in price only. What this is showing is a price increases market makers will need to sell futures to hedge their delta exposure. That's what I was talking about earlier in a positive gamma environment market makers have to trade against price to hedge their delta exposure. And the second curve on this chart the purple curve adds implied volatility to the equation. That's showing how market makers delta notional will change with changes in price and implied volatility and that change in delta with a change in implied volatility is the Vana effect. Hence the name of this the Vana model and that is a second order Greek. So this purple curve is showing that market makers will have slightly less delta notional to hedge as price increases but they will have significantly more delta notional to hedge if price decreases. So the left side of this chart is typical of a negative gamma environment. All right let's see where SPX is trading right now. So I've got SPX at around $44.35. All right so that's about where I'm holding my cursor now this vertical line. So at this point this is showing that there's really no tailwind if price continues to move higher. The market makers delta notional will not change significantly and SPX trading lower this morning. Let's go back and see where it was trading this morning. So at $4,400 that's right $4,400 with support. So there was a slight tailwind this morning as price moved up market makers could buy back short hedges. So a slight tailwind this morning and as price if price continues to increase market makers will have to start selling futures to hedge their delta exposure. All right so that is the Vana model for SPX. It gives us an idea of how market makers may be hedging with changes in price and applied volatility. Let's take a look at SPI. So at the beginning of the day market makers position on the gamma curve for SPX was slightly positive and for SPI it was negative. Not a lot of change in the Vana model for SPI versus SPX. SPI right now is trading at $442. So right around here just the pretty much the same as SPX. Not much of a tailwind if price continues to go higher up to a certain point and then at a certain point market maker hedging as predicted by the this curve will be a headwind for price. And then finally for QQQ pretty similar. All right let's take a look at some of the data behind this. What I'm going to look at is gamma notional for SPX, SPI, NDX, and QQQ. Note all these numbers did shift lower from yesterday. So SPX gamma notional became less positive than yesterday and SPI gamma notional became more negative and then QQQ gamma notional shifted from positive yesterday to negative today. So that implies compared to yesterday implies more volatility. All right so my thesis for today was looking for a little bit more volatility looking for a larger higher trading range compared to yesterday for example for all the indices SP500 and NASDAQ and slightly bullish for the SP500 based on the shift higher in the SPI call wall and just slightly bearish for the NASDAQ based on the shift lower in QQQ. The call wall shifted lower in QQQ. All right let's take a look at some setups. I'm going to start with the SP500 and the first thing I want to do is see what options traders were doing today and up until just about 12 31 o'clock they were buying calls hand over fist in the SP500. So what this chart is showing is price for SPX and the hero signal and this is a combined hero signal that is hedging impact real-time options a combined signal for several S&P 500 products SPX SPI XSP and ES futures all under one combined signal. So this is showing options trades and market maker hedging activity for all these different instruments and it is definitely bullish today. Notional value for the combined signal is about four billion. So let's take a look at the individual components here and then we'll take a closer look at this chart. So first of all SPX notional value 1.44 billion positive and note it did shift lower just about 12 30 starting to shift lower. So at that time options traders stopped taking positive delta positions. So that's SPX SPI also positive 1.05 billion also it looks like they stopped around 12 30 then ES futures that continues to move higher at 1.56 billion. So add that all together and you get the combined signal at just slightly less than four billion. So let's take a closer look at this. So it looks like there's some chart movement here quick move lower got that message from from book map. Let's go back take a closer look at this chart and let's see what options traders were doing. And I'm going to zoom in on this just a little bit. Let's say up until about 1 30. So what this chart is showing is that traders were buying calls that shown by the rising orange line traders buy calls market makers sell the calls and they have to buy futures to hedge their delta exposure. Again remember this is for SPX SPI and ES futures. So this number now it's slightly negative earlier in the morning there were actually selling puts too. So we can zoom in just a little bit here up until about 12 30 or so. Both numbers are positive. So they were buying calls and selling puts in the morning and that led to bullish setup. And we'll take a look at the live market in in just a minute. So I'm reviewing the setup. One thing I want to point out let's let's go back and just take a look at the total signal. I'm comparing all expirations shown with a purple line and zero DTE options trades. Those are trades that expire today. So they're trading zero DTE options and note that the zero DTE number shown with the green line is very close. It looks like it's over 75% of the total options notional value today. So zero DTE options definitely driving price today and we can actually turn off all expirations and you just see the very close correlation between zero DTE trades and price action. All right let's go take a look at book map. I'm going to zoom in just a little bit. So here was the anyway here was the ideal you're looking in at hindsight here. There was the long setup. So you know that traders were taking positive delta positions from the from the open. So just looking at hero you would be looking for a long setup. I thought order flow was a if you look at the sub chart here a little bit difficult to read and this is kind of unusual in the morning seeing price move higher and stops and icebergs moving lower. Not unusual to see icebergs moving lower this line but stops. Usually that is more and price is more in sync with stop orders like like later on but anyway there's the there's the reversal higher at the spy 439 volatility trigger just after 1030. Let's zoom in on that. So just looking at order flow ignoring the sub chart the shift in order flow is pretty apparent just looking at the volume dots there pink dots market sell orders on the way down to a level that you expect to act as support or resistance acted as support in this case and then aggressive buyers start to come in as options traders were taking positive delta positions as they were buying calls and also selling puts at this point of the day. So there's the long setup in the sub 500. All right let's take a look at NASDAQ and NASDAQ reversed higher at about the same time same time. We can zoom in on that so it looks like there was a looks like a stop run down to this level that's shown by this falling yellow line also iceberg orders selling. Order traders selling with iceberg orders shown by the falling light blue line but you can clearly see the shift in order flow. Aggressive sellers shown by the pink dots that's buying on a sell and then aggressive buyers start to come in and move price higher and price continues higher. All right let's see what options traders were doing so let's let's change this back let's first go to all trades go to our default signal. I'm going to take a look at NASDAQ and NASDAQ the signal was not nearly as clear as the SMB 500 and it seems like that's been the case for most of the week. So this is a combined signal for NDX and QQQ so really not much clarity after about 10 o'clock hero was trending lower and let's see what traders were doing. So they were buying puts and buying calls so we'll zoom to that level so there's really no maybe a slight shift higher in this call line but other than that no no real clarity let's go take a look at the total signal. All right so this is pretty typical again this week that for time periods of the day there has not options traders have not really been in sync or really price has not been in sync with options traders for the NASDAQ. All right let's take a look at some stocks now and I'm going to continue what I was doing yesterday taking a look at alerts and some setups there were some good setups in stocks today and also QQQ based on these alerts so I'm going to start and I just picked out a few starting in the morning so the first thing that I want to take a look at is QQQ and this is at 10.22 so at 10.22 and green I don't have any information I'm looking at this volatility alert here and I clicked on it and it brought up this hero chart so this is what I'm looking at I clicked on this it brought up this chart so this alert fired off right around here 10.22 and green I did you know that's that's got to be a bullish alert green price this arrow moving up all right so let's go take a look at book map now and we'll just go to QQQ and I marked mark the setup on the chart so this is the first setup right here this first green rectangle a little bit early so if you got in there and that would have been a kind of a natural place to get in here's a this is a c1 level not at a round number that doesn't that is provided by spot gamma just above the 367 level and also the the point of control which in stocks is just really controlled by the opening print and that will stay at this level until the closing print so here's the opening print right there point of control remains at that level so there was the first entry and depending on how wide your stop is and how you took it if you bought a bought a call at that point you're perfectly fine and then there was another signal we'll take a look at in just a minute that provided a better signal if you're trading futures you know something more leveraged with a tighter stop right so that was the first signal let's go back to back to hero now so that was the first QQQ signal here's the second this was a better better signal and that one fired off just about between 1038 and 1039 something right in there right so let's go back to the QQQ chart now so there's when the second alert went off and a much better entry so if you caught that right away you could have gotten in a round QQQ 367 for a move up to the 370 call wall so good for a three point move higher in QQQ if you bought a call that would have been a good play as well as buying shares so first signal a little bit early second signal very good let's just go back to hero so there's the signal there we'll zoom out some options traders really supported that until a certain point maybe somewhere around 1055 10 11 o'clock then turned around again 1130 all right so that was the first setup that was good setup let's take a look so that was QQQ there and then the second signal here let's take a look at apple so the apple signal was a little bit early as well at 1023 so I clicked on this it brought this chart up 1023 and it must be looking at this divergence here so price stepped down the hero signal continued higher all right let's go take a look at apple and book map so here's the signal in an apple and book map a little bit early again depending on how you traded that with a wider stop you know apple shares or an option if you bought a call you'd be just fine or watch price for a better entry let's go back to go back to hero we'll zoom out so again remember that was at 1023 so right about here this signal is a little bit distorted by this large block trade here this vertical line so some large institution there was a large block trade that happened all at once let's see what they did so some large institution came in and bought a lot of puts and that reversed pretty quickly later on so a little bit early again for the signal in apple but turned out to be a good signal right the next so we've looked at qqq qqq the two signals there first one early second one very good signal apple early but still okay depending on how you traded that and then the next is tesla remember we looked at tesla yesterday so this alert went off at 1040 right about here and this was an excellent signal and it must be again signaling this divergence price steps down while hero options traders continue to take positive delta positions even though price steps down a little bit so let's take a look at tesla and book map one thing to note for tesla is 280 is the call wall and note that that level did act as resistance as expected earlier today so if you're just watching now that would have been a good good short setup we'll go back and take a look at hero in just a minute and see you know i would imagine at at this reversal traders were taking negative delta positions but anyway we're focusing on the alert now so here is the based on the alert there's the setup so an excellent long note the absorption shown by this light blue green square at the 275 level price reverses higher as traders were taking positive delta positions and price moves higher so just like yesterday the tesla alert pretty much nailed the bottom and gave you a very good long setup let's go back and take a look at hero so really looking at this sorry about all the scrolling and jumping around right so this really kind of reinforces the idea for a long and this is pretty similar to the nvidia post that i i put uh in discord and twitter yesterday so this let's let's just take a look at the total signal so if you're watching tesla in the morning with the price dropping and hero pretty much flat this is definitely not supporting a short so at this point you would be waiting for for a long setup and it really came here when that alert fired off with that divergence and options traders started taking positive delta positions and price moved higher so looking at this from the beginning this is definitely not bullish hero options traders not supporting this move lower so based on this you know i i would definitely be waiting for a potential long setup and again that alert was the um uh was the signal to um look for an entry entry point so truman says he came in late what is sending is the signal and spot gamma the alert so this is something new and i'm clicking on this bell and this is all in um this bell is all in the dashboard so that is the hero here's the indices page it's shown here as well as the founder's note shown here so you can always go to this upper right corner and these alerts i talked about this a little bit yesterday spot gamma has been providing these call wall alerts so for example this for amazon here call wall breached that is those have been available for a couple of months so that indicates that price has moved above the amazon call wall now these volatility alerts are new i believe they just started on wednesday so these are new uh interesting i'm just kind of exploring them now and so i've just picked out a point to start here and um note these meta volatility alerts they were not good they um did not work and i would be hesitant to take um at you know at this point in the day 11 o'clock the entire market was bullish i would be looking for a bullish alert so again this is something that comes with spot gamma with your spot gamma subscription and i think when you click on this where you go depends on your subscription level so i have an alpha level uh subscription so when i click on this amazon call wall for example it takes me to the hero chart show that that is showing the call wall breach for amazon at uh 1151 so right about here that's that call wall breach at 1151 so those have been around the call wall and put wall breach alerts have been around for a couple of months maybe since the beginning of april i'm not quite sure and then these volatility alerts um just started this week as far as i know that's the first time i i noticed them i have not been able to find anything in the support center yet i know that uh brent talked about these earlier uh this year and apparently it took a little bit longer a little bit more testing and validation uh to roll these out uh but now they are here and so far uh i'm finding them very helpful you know i'm watching a lot of different stocks and this is uh something that is a another set of eyes looking at these stocks uh finding setups for me so again i'm just exploring this now but it again so far and you know and of course you have to evaluate everything um any kind of alert with what you see in book map and in uh with hero so let's just go so there's the call wall breach in amazon go back to the tesla alert so so far for tesla uh yesterday and today were very good alerts for tesla uh for long entries all right let's take a look at um the broad market so uh i could yet ask what are your settings for the absorption indicator uh for tesla all right let's go take a look at that here's tesla go to the absorption indicator all right so i have it set on automatic mode the standard deviation and interval 15 minutes so i want it to renew uh pretty quickly after the open where a lot of the um a lot of the volume occurs so i can see uh more uh later on in the day and then this sd multiplier i you know it changes from um from day to day sometimes i have to slide it lower sometimes slide it higher uh there may be uh you know i just want the right amount of information on my screen not too much not too little all right icoget i hope that helps this is recorded if you want to come back and take a look at this i suggest you um maybe start with this if you want and uh adjust it to what makes sense for you okay you're welcome icoget says he got a screenshot and d&t matter says the spix spx levels are an incredible addition you have with book map uh i i agree the um the whole idea behind this is that spx is the base index and market makers are trade uh hedging spx and spy options trades with es futures so i believe i think spx and spy options trades and the market maker hedging activity with es or a key driver of price action in the smb 500 so i again i have spx and spy levels on my chart and uh day after day uh they work that's because again i i think that that uh market maker hedging activity around these levels is uh is key for price action and let me just point out so i've talked about the 4400 level and that is just a a solid level of support as well as the spy 439 volatility trigger let's go take a look and let's see where those levels come from so let's go back to the spx chart here i'm going to go to spx take a look at the absolute gamma levels for spx there's the 4400 level and that was the level that acted as support today so i calculate the difference between spx and es every day and i just include those on my chart and i use an add-on from the book map marketplace called price lines to do that so i fill out a spreadsheet price lines displays the the label in the column and the line on my chart all right let's uh get a couple minutes left let's go to the live market let's see what options traders are doing and let's go to the sp500 and note the hero line has really leveled off since about 1230 and price has stalled and moved slightly lower let's go back to book map go to the sp500 and note that that did occur right almost to the tick at the upper daily expected move and note this level comes from the options market this is not from spot gamma you can get a um an expected range from spot gamma i just use the options chain and thinkorswim to get this level so this level i put on my chart last night so options traders start stopped taking positive delta positions maybe started taking profits or taking negative delta positions as price approached that level and now price may be moving moving lower let's go take a look and see what options traders are doing right now so now it looks like they may be starting to take positive delta positions uh trying to move price higher again on a bullish friday afternoon let's make a couple of adjustments here let's look at next x-brie first so that is definitely leveled off and it's all expiration trades that are uh moving higher now i'm going to change my rolling window period so i'm looking at a shorter look back period this is looking at just at the last 30 minutes of data in this cumulative figure versus the entire day that i was looking at before so looking at this 30 minute rolling window period again traders stop started taking negative delta positions as price approached that 44 40 level that was the upper daily expected move and then price it took a while but finally moved a little bit lower oops wrong tool and now options traders are back at it taking positive delta positions let's go back to book mount and so far to me um order flow definitely looks bearish and i do look at these lines in the sub chart and they're all falling sell stop orders large traders selling with iceberg orders and cumulative volume delta all falling so price trade traded in this range at the upper daily expected move broke lower made a lower high made another lower high now chopping around in another range as order flow continues to look bearish to me we'll take one quick look at nasdaq and then wrap it up for the day let's go to nasdaq pretty similar also upper daily expected move so far high point for the day price reverses lower makes a lower high you know chopping around in a range let's see what options traders are doing in nasdaq remember we're on a 30 minute rolling window period here so looking at a shorter time frame and pretty similar to the sub 500 options traders started taking negative delta positions as price approached that upper daily expected move and there's also the so this price i believe is in terms of ndx so there's the 15 200 level so as price was approaching that level and the upper daily expected move at nq 15 350 feet uh 355 options traders did start to take negative delta positions and that appears to uh at least for the time being maybe leveled off maybe shifting a little bit higher looking at the 30 minute period definitely shifting lower so those upper daily expected moves for the sb 500 and nasdaq would have been good targets for bullish trades earlier today and then a point either to take profits or to take negative delta positions and dnt matter says a beautiful dog thank you thank you very much so floyd's garage ask if options traders are buying and icebergs and market makers selling could that cause a flush so first of all if options traders are buying calls for example or taking positive delta positions market makers are taking taking the other side of that so they're buying futures to hedge their delta exposure and then so in that case if options traders are buying market makers buying i assume again positive delta positions market makers are selling those futures so they have selling those options so they have to buy futures so they would be taking um positive in q in q or e s so they would be buying buying futures in either case and then icebergs selling um could be a sign of a reversal but often larger traders with iceberg orders will sell strength and buy weakness so you have to look at all of it and combine it together to um to develop a complete picture and i've mentioned this many times before i i'm only presenting with one screen um and i'm jumping back and forth between hero and book map when i'm actually trading i have multiple screens so i can look at book map and hero at the same time and weigh all of this together um to make a trading decision so again floyd's garage that's that's not necessarily so easy to answer you know again i'm looking at all the information uh together and weighing this so and i i like to see a confluence so if i see um let's go back to s of b 500 so here s of b 500 this is showing that let's go back to that 30 minute look back period so this is showing hero dropping as price approaches the level that i expect to act as resistance so that is the first case for uh potential short setup all right now let's go to look at book map go back to es so that is one one case for a bearish setup so i know that options traders are taking negative delta positions at uh as price approach approaches the level that i expect to act as resistance and then the second clue is um the shift in order flow here so i see more more pink dots coming in at this level i see that larger traders starting to sell here with iceberg borders they were buying on the way up now they're starting to sell that shown by the following light blue line they're no more buy stop orders feeling the move higher this yellow line flattens out no no more buy stop orders cumulative volume delta shown by the dark blue line starts to shift lower so all that is building a case for a short setup here options traders leading price at a resistance level order flow shifts bearish so putting all this together i'm looking for a short or to take profits on a long that i had from this morning so again floyd's garage i'm putting all this together and uh developing a picture in my mind a narrative of what i expect to happen all right so i hope that answers your question all right so d&t matter says i recently got book map from blue jacket i'm trying and i'm trying to match yours i'll be going through your pens trying to set up um just to note you can contact me in direct message i do uh have started to offer one-on-one mentoring if you want help more specific help setting up a book map so just contact me and direct message and discord if you're interested all right uh floyd's garage i hope that answers your question d&t matter thanks for your kind words thank you everybody for your for watching for your questions and comments have a great weekend and we will get started again on monday thanks again everyone have a great weekend bye


فشرف بي لشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دلا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على من أرسله الله رحمة للعالمين سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين له بيحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد نحن في المساعدة من الكتاب نواقظ الإسلام ويتم باي شيخ الإسلام محمد عبد الوهاب رحمه الله تعالى نحن في الثالث ناقظ الثالث نالفايا والذي هو من لم يكفر المشركينة أي من who does not label or consider or does not believe that the disbelievers are disbelievers or doubt their disbelief or he justifies their belief or he brings an excuse for them كفرة إجماعة and bike and sense of the scholars these believers and in our last lesson we mentioned that the kufr and the shirk here that's been spoken about it is the kufr which is الواضح الجليل المعلوم والثابت pay attention the kufr that we're speaking about here that the individual is the kufr that the person is is a kufr which is واضح it's clear it is جلي it is it is apparent it is معلوم it's known by everybody it's tabith it's established even to the one who is falling in the kufr he knows he fell into the kufr even he doesn't deny it you will tell you I'm not a believer of your religion I'm not a Muslim so he doesn't reject that okay nor does the Jew reject it that's what we mean that's what is meant by it here and we mentioned that the statement of the shirk here which is كفرة إجماعة who transmitted this consensus this إجماعة من اللذي نقاله who transmitted that there is an إجماعة من لم يكفر المشركين the one who doesn't do takfir of the mushriks or he doubts the kufr that he is a disbeliever who is the scholars who transmitted that consensus we mentioned three scholars the first one is القاضي عياد in his كتاب الشيفة القاضي عياد he has a كتاب called الشيفة where he talks about حقوق المصطفة the prophet writes and in that book of his he says the consensus has been established على كفري the consensus has been established on what the kufr of the individual who does not make takfir on any of the Christians of the Jews وكل من فارق دين المسلمين and does not also make takfir on anybody who goes against the religion of Islam in its fundamental points or or he doesn't make takfir of the individual who withholds from the takfir of the disbelievers or he even doubts it also the scholar that transmitted it is also he transmits it in his مجمع الفتاة the 27th volume page 464 he says and anyone who does not is a fan anyone who does not a fan that after the sending of نبي الله محمد that there is no believer except those who believe in him and they follow نبي الله محمد باطنا وظاهرا they follow نبي الله محمد externally and internally after نبي الله محمد came the only Muslim that exist is who the one who follows نبي الله محمد who follows him what باطنا and he follows him ظاهرا externally there's no other Muslim if you take me say this وَمَلَّمْ يُحَرِّمِ تَدَيْ يُنِي and anyone who does not prohibit taking any other religion as a religion after نبي الله محمد so this he takes you have to prohibit that there's no other way to Allah there's no religion that one can take after نبي الله محمد came you cannot take Christianity and Judaism as a form and a way to get closer to Allah and then شغل سامي تايمي says بل مَلَّمْ يُكَفِرْهُمْ رادا so first things بمتايمي is mentioning two things first one is that there is no other religion in the eyes of Allah after نبي الله محمد came and the دين الله this is the religion of Allah it is the religion he is pleased with it's the religion that we need to all come with after نبي الله محمد came the second thing any other religion other than Islam or the religion of محمد is كفر وَمَلَّمْ يُكَفِرْهُمْ and anyone who doesn't do تكفير of those other religions وَيُبِغِضُهُمْ and does not hate them فَلَيْسَ بِمُسْلِمِنْ he is not a Muslim بتفاق المسلمين by consensus of the Muslims he has to hate it we go together هذا الشيخو الإسلام تايمين لاقلوا الإجماعة also عبد الرحمن أبا بوطين he is from the ayma to دعوة النجدية he also transmits a consensus in the kitab sorry الدورة العسانية في اجمع النجدية the 12th volume page 69 he says اجمع المسلمون the Muslims are unanimously in agreement على كفر ملم يكفر اليهود والنصارا there is a kafir anyone who does not make تكفير of the Christians and the Jews or شك في كفرهم or even doubts they are kafir or even doubts كفر so that ijma'a is by sheikh عبدالله عبدالله عبدالله عبد الرحمن أبو بوطين he mentions it in the دورة العسانية in the 12th volume page 69 you could also find another ijma'a in دورة العسانية the 8th volume the 8th volume page 160 and also in دورة العسانية the second volume page 207 all of those are consensus and ijma'a that those scholars have mentioned على كفر من لم يكفر المشركين or شك في كفرهم or صحة مدهبان what's the evidence that's used the last lesson we mentioned that there's an evidence but the ijma'a itself is sufficient for an evidence are we all together the fact there's a consensus that's enough as an evidence that's enough as a what as an evidence but there is an evidence that they still stand on and the evidence in which they all agreed upon which is the statement of the prophet عليه الصلاة و السلام that the prophet said من قال لا إله إلا الله anyone who says لا إله إلا الله وكافارة بما يعبد من دولي الله and he disbelieves in anything that is worshiped besides Allah what happens حارو ممال هو them his blood and his wealth is prohibited meaning you can't wage war on them he's your brother he's your what he's your Muslim brother so what did the prophet عليه الصلاة و السلام connect اسمه to he only connected to two things blood and money the اسمه the protection of the person's blood and and what do you call it the person's wealth he connected it to two things the first one is that the person says لا إله إلا الله and remember لا إله إلا الله he doesn't mean مجرد التلف that the person just merely says the word of course it means that the person comes with what he encounters and he doesn't need it from them and the second thing that the hadith mentions is الكفر بما يعبدوا مدوني الله this belief of that which is worshiped what besides Allah so what does it mean كفر of what is worshiped besides Allah سبحانه وتعالى it means تكفير المشركينة that you consider that these believers is kufar والبراعة to mean who you free yourself from them أو مما يعبدون مدوني or that which is besides Allah and anyone who doesn't make تكفير of them فهو ومثلهم he's like them he's like them even if he says I hate their religion I don't like their religion والله I only love Islam and I only love Muslims that doesn't still make him a what a believer he's not a believer if you hate Christianity you hate Judaism as a religion but you think they are not disbelievers you are a what you are كافر like them you are a disbeliever like them so the author here الشيخ الإسلام محمل عبدو حب in the كتاب الدور رسانية second volume page 22 by the way this book I keep referencing all the time الدور رسانية does anyone know what that book is does anyone here know what دور رسانية is الدور رسانية is basically the works and the statements and the verdict and the the authors works and messages and letters and of محمل عبدو الحب and his offspring and his students all of their statements are in there it's a 15 volume book right yeah it's a 15 volume book it has his محمل عبدو حب's verdict his fatwa he also has the fatwa of who huh his grandchildren his own sons his students that's why it's called ائمة دعوة نجدية نجدية the scholars from نجد where he's from so you find their statements there so محمل عبدو حب in that book he's got رسائل and things that he says he says دين والإسلام وقاعدة وقامران the religion of الإسلام محمل عبدو حب it's a very powerful statement he says the religion of الإسلام and its foundation are two things are you together it's the religion's foundation and what إسلام stands on are two things and the first one is الأمر عبادة الله وحده لا شريك له the first foundation that إسلام stands on it is to worship الله alone and to associate partners with him والتحريض على ذلك والموالات فيه والتكفير ومن تركه فك doubles and وكفر the person who leaves that number two the second foundation that الإسلام اصدار عن الإشراك عن الشرك في عبادة الله توون توون شرك توون against شرك إلا الله و التغليض وهذا و تكون عزية بالنسبة والمعادة و أنت واتكفير منفع له واتكفير كفر كفر فهي يأتي معه فهي يأتي مع ماذا؟ فهي يأتي مع شرق فهناك تكفير فهناك تكفير ثلاثة أول محاول هو اجماع على كفر ملم يكفر متابة كفره بنصر شرعي اجماع السكولي وضع محاول أجمع ثلاثة وضع محاول ثم أول محاول هو المؤسسة على كفر ملم يكفر الكفر المؤسسة وضع المحاول المحاول وكفر بما يعبد من دون الله عصما ماله ودمه وضع محاول سنعود إلى أول محاول أول محاول ثلاثة أول محاول أول محاول أول محاول أن الكفر يكفر الكفر يكفر يكفر يكفر في which we need to make those people كفر ونجد أن نتكفر ونجد أن نتكفر سنعود إلى الكفر أول محاول أول وشيخ الإسلام من بلوتيمه يكفر في كتابة صارمة المصلول على شاته من رسول في محاول 586 مع التحقيق المحمد المحيدي عبدالحمد يكفر شيخ الإسلام محمد عبدالو شيخ الإسلام من بلوتيمه يكفر أي شخص يكفر أن تعالي رضي الله و تعالى عنه هو إله أو يكفر هو يكفر و جيبريل يكفر في تحديث المسجد لا يوجد دائم أن هذا الإنجلي هو كفر و لا يوجد دائم أنه كفر هو الذي لا يكفر شيخ الإسلام دعني أعرف ذلك one more time أي شخص who insults the companions أي شخص who what who insults the companions and claims أن عليبنا بيطالبن هو إله أو they claim علي is a prophet from Allah and that جيبريل did a mistake in passing the message over to to who to عليبنا بيطالبن فهذا لا شك في كفره this is there is no doubt this person's kufr بل لا شكر there is no doubt في كفر من توقفه في تكفيره there is no doubt of the takfir of the one who holds takfir on them does that make sense as a powerful statement إذن الرافذ are what and disbelievers they are what those who listen the Nusairiyah of Syria okay the Nusairiyah of Syria of Syria are what who believe عليبنا بيطالبن is what عليز إلهتهم they are the disbelievers and we all together they all fall under the statement أي شخص who talks about a group of people who claim Islam who believe in what is known as إتحادية ماذا بالإتحادية ماذا بالإتحادية من ماذا بالإتحادية was a group of people who believed what is known in English I think it's called Pantheism ها وحد تلوجود yeah when he was talking about them he said about them they believe they believe they believe they believe what you're looking at is Allah إبلو تيمس said about them وأقوالها أولئي these individual statements شرر من أقوال النصارة is more evil than the statements of the Christians وفيها من التلاقود من جنس ما في أقوال النصارة and there's also contradiction in their statements just like there's a contradiction in the statement of the Christians and the Christians what are they trying to say they're trying to say that عيسة is a hundred percent human and is a hundred percent divide have you ever heard that before two opposites and he's a hundred percent both of them are you with me these are like that as well these individuals are like that they're worse than that because they've made the human the normal individual Allah at least the Christians they restricted it to who عيسة المريم but both of them are contradicting إبلو تيمس ولي هذا يقولون بالحلول تارة و بالإتحادية أخرى sometimes they claim حلول means that Allah is inside the creation sometimes they claim إتحادية that they emerged and they're two different things فإنه مده ممو تناقض من في نفسي it's a methodology it's a belief that contradicts itself it's full of contradictions ولي هذا يلبسون على ما لم يفهموا and because of that what they do is they place the cloak over the people's faces those who don't understand them فهذا كله كفر all of those statements are إتحادية حلولية all of them are باطنا و ظاهرا externally and internally بإجماع كل مسلم this is a consensus by every Muslim by every Muslim ومن شك في كفر هؤلاء pay attention to this anyone who then now doubts the kufr of these people بعد المعرفة تقوليهم after knowing their statement because one of the people who said this is who إبن العربي إبن العربي is a kathar إبن العربي is a kathar they call him محدين إبن العربي وليس محدين he didn't give no life to the deen he's a meaty deen he killed a valedin but there's some people who thought إبن العربي is a Muslim there was some people the scholars that thought إبن العربي was a Muslim and so when they found out later some of them they came back from it like شيخو الإسلام تيميا when he found out that إبن العربي is a Believer and he stood over his statement he considered them to be what he considered them to be from the kufar like in there's some scholars who didn't that's why the statement of إبن تيميا hey look he says ومن شك في كفر هؤلاء anyone who just شك دوط these people's kufr بعد معريفة قوليم that's after knowing their statements you can't hold me a cut if I haven't stood over the person's statement I haven't seen it ومعريفة and knowing دين الإسلامي and knowing the religion of Islam for a kafir and then that person is a kafir if the person knows the statements of these individuals and he knows the religion of Islam what he believes if he then starts to doubt the kufr of these people then he becomes a disbeliever كمان يا شكول it's like the person who doubts في كفر اليهودي والمصارة والمشركين he doubts what what does he doubt he doubts the kufr of the yahood and the nasara and the pagans the polytheists all together so that's some examples of things that are kufr that the person has to what he has to what know that if a person comes he's careful those are examples the fourth one right now the fourth which is is that sometimes it could be possible it could be possible that something may become hidden from a group of people ya that was the third one no it's the third one I'm talking about fourth point we've moved off I just told you A right and then B was the the اتحادية الحلورية let's finish the example now we're now moving to the fourth point now does that make sense we've just done a couple of those two examples we're now going to move on to the fourth point the fourth point which is sometimes a matter it might be clear and also established in the Qur'an and the sunnah that is kufr but it might be hidden from some people قتخفع على بعض الناس some people it might be hidden from them some people's ignorance hasn't allowed them to really know the reality of this particular belief are we all together and many people today when it is officially الله many people who haven't really read into the breloui and the diobundies really think there's a big difference between the two وليس الأمرو هكذا the matter is not like that the diobundia they believe what the breloui believe and their خلاف is a خلاف which is love of it anything that you accuse the breloui fundamentally to be شرك and كفر أكبر you should also affirm it for who the diobundia are we all together the difference between the two of them is that the breloui are courageous to tell you what they believe and they say they vocalize it صح the diobundias يضغيرون الشيء and they show you something ويبطنون الشيء الأخر they hide in something else are we all together so the madhab is made to believe so many people are made to believe that there is a فرق شاسع بينهما that خلاف is خلاف love they just have تقديم و تأخير and don't be vocal about it like that and calm down that's the difference between the بريلويز and the diobundias are we all together like in the كفر أكبر that's with بريلويز and the شرك which is with them is also with the breloui the diobundias same as with them but see as I said to you before even though it's clear and it's apparent but it may be hidden from some people because of their Ignorance of this particular issue and the distance that some people have gone from the كتاب النسونا and they went against the ignorance of the اجمع الدقمة some people this is what's led them to me and this is sometimes what happens و لذلك الشيخ سليمان ابن عبدالله is from one of the ايمن الدعوة المجدية he speaks about this particular issue which is when he was asked about what's the ruling of a person who does not make تكفير of those who are كفر he says he says okay the matter needs explanation now he says this matter is not absent from عن أن يكون شاكن that the person is in a state of doubt in their كفر or he is ignorant of it or he might say that these people are كفرة they are disbelievers but he is unable to come out openly and say it he is unable we are going to come to the issue of مدهنة the person is actually scared to say that they are كفر fear that something might happen to him he says or he is what ignorant as I said about their كفر the sheikh then says فإن كان شاكن في كفر أو جاهنة بكفر بينات له الأدلة من كتاب الله وسنة رسولي على كفر بينات له الأدلة the evidences will be made clear to him will be said to him أخي this person that you you are justifying it for or you are speaking for this is the reality of their situation the evidence of the Quran وسنة first of all classifies this issue to be كفر أكبر and I this person believes this because they said these statements it will be made clear to this person فإن شك بعد ذلك if he then starts to carry on doubting the issue أو تردد and then he's going back and forth فإن كافر بإجماع العلمة he becomes a kafر by consensus of the Muslims على أن من شك في الكافر فوكافر that's an important issue to keep in mind point number five and it's something we already spoke about what we already spoke about it in the مقدمة of نواقظ الإسلام which is يجيب أن تعلم أما يجيب أن تعلم it is obligatory for it to be known أن تكفير أحكم الشرعي that تكفير classifying a person as a kafر is a حكم الشرعي what does it mean حكم الشرعي it's a rotation from the Quran and the سنة it has to be وحق المحظل لله تعالى لا يملك أحد ولا جمعا لا but no one owns كفر it's like he gives out when he wishes to no, no one does nor does any group own it ولا يجيبوا إطراقوا على أحد and it is also not permissible to unrestrictedly label كفر على أحد on any individual بمجرد هوا أو قياس based on mere assumption or based upon قياس analogy if he is a kafر then he is his friend they wish he also be a kafر قياس analogy like that عقلي لا و لذلك الشيخ العلسان بن تيمي السن and we brought the statement before he said إن الإجابة و التحريم و التواب و الإعقاب و التقفير هو إلى الله و رسوله الشيخ العلسان بن تيمي السن to be made something wajib something to become wajib whose rights is that who can say this is wajib who says this is wajib الله who can say something that's حرام الله who can say someone in this issue الله who can say there's a punishment in this issue الله تكفيرا تفسيق are also the same only Allah can say this is fisq and only Allah can say this is wajib كفر only Allah can سبحانه و تعالى هو إلى الله it is to Allah و رسوله and the messenger because the messenger can base on it بها في الله و تحريم ما حرمه الله و رسوله and making haram that which Allah and his message التحريم العقاب الثواب التكفير التفسيق ايضا تبديع ايضا تبديع تساين فلازم وتدع only these are to Allah these messenger you can't just place on who you wish and who you want and we all together و لذلك من قيم سيزنونية القفر حق الله ثم رسوله قفر is Allah's rights and the rights of the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم بالنص يثبوته لا بقولي فلاني and it's established with the texture evidences not so and so said so من كان رب العالمين و عبده تتكفره فداك دل كفرانين anyone who Allah anyone Allah has messaged have made تكفير on then فداك دل كفراني then this person is a character ابن الوزير اليماني الصنعاني رحم الله is a great كتاب العواصم والقواصم fourth volume page 178 he says إن تكفير محضن سمعي محضن لا مدخل للعقلي فيه ابن الوزير اليماني he says تكفير is what what is تكفير تكفير is سمعي المحب it's based upon تكشو evidence clearly لا مدخل للعقلي فيه there's no place where logic comes in some people they make تكفير on a person by saying no this cannot be no no you are them who he be sees it big in his head and he sees it big in his mind so this is كفر that's it how can this be be Islam look at him he's drinking alcohol with them he's a kafir so we say إن تكفير سمعي المحب it's textual evidence only not how big you see it or how rationally this is this is only like somebody will say to you when you say this is not كفر I'm sorry this person is not kafir they will say to you يا أخي it doesn't make sense what does it mean it doesn't make sense are you saying that we're going to use a logic huh تكفير is it's just follow it's what submit كفر it's not it's not but it makes sense to you or not it doesn't matter أوسح يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر يسر فُلان مي تكفيره هذا الأشيوه اللان مي تكفيره هذا الأشيوه لا يجب أن يجب أن يتكفيره لا يجب أن يجب أن يتكفيره يجب أن يكون كفر when we ask what's the evidence that he applied and this particular issue are we all together does that make sense it's very important that we understand that and Imam Al-Shuklani who mentions the same in his Kitab Sayyid Al-Jalal we mentioned all of this before we mentioned all of this in the the fourth ناقل we're going to move on to the fourth ناقل which is anyone who believes that anyone who believes other than the prophet's guidance أكما لومن هديه is more complete than the prophet's guidance anyone who believes that there's a guidance out there more guiding more complete than the prophet's religion and the way of life oh and the wisdom or he believes that other than the prophet's rulings is better than the prophet's rulings like those like those who give presidents what do they give presidents they give virtue to man-made constitutions and laws على حكمه of Allah's rules and the messenger فهو كافيرون he believes that there's guidance out there better than the prophet's guidance or he believes that the prophet's rules are what there are other laws better than it are we all together like those who give superiority what do they give superiority to طواقيت man-made constitution man-made laws over the law of Allah فهو كافيرون he's a kafir this person he believes that the western way of life is better than the prophet's religion and guidance are we all together or he believes that the law of Allah and the law of the messenger are not as good as the 21st century man-made laws he believes this is a barrack an absurd religion صحيح this person is a what for what كافيرون now if this person is a kafir pay attention to this can somebody justify their كفر can somebody pay attention to this the خطور of this issue so if this person is a kafir by the sheikh statement ان شاء الله تعالى تoul避ầu و에도س كافير man-made laws or any other ويدجور وغاية الخلاء ان على your conscience《هي أخفالك الجامعة الذين يكر転 هؤلاء الحوم》 أخفالك月 و درجة انتظروا أحمد ، خالد ، زيد ، آمينة ، عائشة ، فاطمة ، تكتبوا هذا ، و تكتبوا هذا المسجد إنه مخطوط ، مخطوط ، مخطوط ، مخطوط ، مخطوط ، مخطوط سنبقى هذا الشيء ، إن شاء الله و تعالى ، سنعقبه في next week because it's very long سنبقى الكثير من الأمر ، سنبقى الكثير من الأمر سنبقى هذا الشيء ، إن شاء الله و تعالى ، أي شيء which I have said that was wrong or incorrect is from me الشيطان أن الله and his message are free from it سبحانك الله و بحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفرك و أنتوب إلي

Last night DCU's Students Union launched a campaign to hold the deportation of DCU's University of Sanctuary student Shepard Makaya. One day I think it was just a week or so before we started school in September. Then I got that and it really hit me hard. I didn't want to lie.  I didn't know what to do. Then I remember when we started school on the 24th, I opened my computer and I was looking at my computer. I couldn't really think straight because since I opened that later with the bad news, it's something which I cannot get off my head. Every time whatever I am doing, it's something which, to be honest, it's depressing. That's the best way to put it. It's really, really depressing. Makaya fled to Ireland from Zimbabwe eight years ago to seek asylum during the political reign of Robert Mugabe, then leader of the Zimbabwe P.F. Party. My situation in Zimbabwe was very, very difficult. It was political. Like where I come from, it's the Zimbabwe P.F. stronghold. Zimbabwe P.F. is the ruling party of Zimbabwe. Following Mugabe's impeachment in 2017, Shepard was refused asylum in Ireland after eight years in direct provision. However, Chute is a new P.F. still holding power in Zimbabwe. He feels his country is still safe to return to. The person that removed him is someone that has been with him from the beginning. He was a second, like, and is someone that has killed a lot of people. He's known for having killed, like, thousands of people, really. And they're still using the same policies. In the last bid to aid Mugabe, the students union launched their S.O.S. Save Our Shepard campaign in the hopes of stopping his deportation. So far, 3,000 people have signed the petition, urging Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan to revoke the deportation. Shepard was issued with a deportation order, and he's been ordered to leave the country by Sunday. D.C.U. students as a whole are calling the movement behind Shepard and getting the ball rolling on something really big. DCUTV News has reached out to Minister for Justice and Equality Charles Flanagan for comment. We are awaiting your response. This has been Eva Horan for DCUTV News.


of teams that kick first, win the shootout. Kyle Gordon, the captain, starts off with Glen Muir. I guess this is how you lead from the front. Hasn't had a great night in front of goal, but he can finish it well here. The Glen Muir captain, they're number 10. Nine goals on the season, won them the quarterfinal, trying to set them on their way in this semifinal shootout. Squeezes it in. Malik Williams gets the right way, but couldn't get a hand on to it, and Glen Muir have the advantage. Yeah, and in that example, it's just good placement from Gordon. Was laser focused on where he wanted to kick it, and he was right in the corner. Glen Muir up one nil. Definitely gave Malik Williams a chance, but they saved the hope that kills so close yet so far. Robert Sal, scored two penalties in the quarterfinal against Dintil Technical, did see out, and now in the semifinal, he is first stop from one captain to the next. Also scored his penalty in the Manning Cup shootout. He's had a lot of practice, and it shows. He extremely composed with these penalties. Good penalties, Robert Sal rooted Antoine Gunn right down the middle. Good penalty, or even one-one. Now Arane Watson missed the part of the season with injury, but has returned and is fully integrated into this. Glen Muir set up, hit it on to the crossbar early in the second half. That could have finished it. His penalty doesn't, but it gives Glen Muir the advantage to one. Yeah, calmly done from their top goalscorer, Seasonal goal, Arane Watson. They missed him a lot for the season, as you mentioned, Ricardo, his goals. But they held on without him, and now he's looking to fire them into the final of the Champions Cup. And he's put them two-one up in this penalty shootout. Pressure back on Kingston College. They are number nine. Well, they are matching Glen Muir stride for stride. One captain for another, no, one number nine for another. Demaria Daly, 14 goals on the season. KC's leading scorer came on as a substitute today. And squeeze is another one in, two-two.  Anton Gooden had a chance, but he was converted in the end. Good power behind that one. Great direction as well. Yeah, it was always going to be difficult to save that one. Two-two, Hedley steps up for Glen Muir. Brilliant, with his corner kicks, with his crosses today. And one of those been taken, he wouldn't need to be here, but he is here. He steps up and drills it in comfortably. Malik Williams going the wrong direction. And Glen Muir, goal three from three in the shootout. Yeah, I was always confident that Hedley would step up to take one, takes a bulk of Glen Muir, set pieces from centre-back. This important piece of Glen Muir's puzzle has slotted them back up three-two in this penalty shootout. For KC, Alex Hislop had an opportunity to put them level in the first half, didn't take it. Makes no mistake this time. We remain on serve. It's three-three. Yeah, good penalty so far. Who is going to blink first? Jason White will be hoping it won't be him. Jason White steps up for Glen Muir. Fourth kick of the shootout. For the Clarendon base team. Hunting their first ever Champions Cup final. Jason White goes down the middle and Malik Williams was sailing away to his right. Needless to say, he's well beaten for three. Comfortable penalty taken from Glen Muir. Watched an SSFL encounter from Trinidad into Bagel. Sixteen, fourteen or fifteen, fourteen, I think it ended in the shootout. We're far away from that in this Champions Cup semifinal. Kingston College's number ten, Jaheem McLean. Steps up to the plate. And penalty shootout defeats in back-to-back knockout matches. And in the space of just four days. It's not often a keeper guesses down the middle for the second time in this shootout Antoine Gunnarz and the hero from the penalty shootout in the Costa Cup semifinal. Might be the hero again. And then Wallace who scored Glen Muir's opening call with a chance to win it. The Champions Cup final on to face Clarendon College on to the national stadium in Kingston. Second time in the history of this All Island knockout competition. Two rural area teams will contest the final. The Costa Cup final is the Champions Cup final. Glen Muir versus Clarendon College. See-out after a terrific game had KC won it. He might have been the leading candidate for player of the match. But it's Glen Muir's victory. What a finish. Disappointment for KC. They punched heavy. They punched well. But ultimately they ran out. Might have been gas, might have been steam, whatever it was. Glen Muir had it. Vassar Reynolds can be extremely proud of what he's achieved with this KC unit with Andrew Peart is on a mission. The triple crown remains a possibility for both Glen Muir and Clarendon College. Clarendon College and come this Saturday. One and only one will remain in contention for the coveted three. Final score from the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex. One on after full-time. Glen Muir beat Kingston College. Five, three on penalties. Here's another look back. Kyle Gordon starting things off for Glen Muir. Malik Williams had a chance diving away to his right but couldn't come up with a save. It was too well placed by the Glen Muir captain. That was one nil. Robert C.L. The Kingston College captain going to the left of Antoine Gooden who applauded the kick because it was a brilliant one. C.L. ending is a wonderful game. Yeah, Jason White for Glen Muir. And then this miss from Jaheem McLean going down the middle and couldn't read it well. It was well saved and then Brandon Wallace would step up to complete it. There's another look at the miss or the same, whichever way you look at it. Staying home, staying strong, staying firm. Williams trying to save KC season. He had no chance. Brandon Wallace finishing and Glen Muir.


After serving Agape Memorial for three years, I was reappointed or appointed to Elmwood El Buenza Maritano United Methodist Church, where I've been the last five years. And this is another former Rio Grande congregation, El Buenza Maritano, that merged with a North Texas Conference congregation, Elmwood, that was founded way back in 1939. And El Buenza Maritano merged with Elmwood in 2007 officially, but they were worshiping at Elmwood since about 2001. And at the same time that this was taking place, the North Texas Conference had began a church plant, a Hispanic Latino church plant at Elmwood, and they were worshiping in the gym facility of the church. So you have sort of three different congregations at the time worshipping in the building, but not coming together just yet. And in 2015, my predecessor comes in, and she decides to start having conversations with the congregation about truly coming together. And that's when what we have now began, really, about seven, six years ago. What we have now is a congregation that is one congregation that is bi-cultural, bilingual. We worship bi-culturally, bi-lingually. Our discipleship happens bi-culturally, bi-lingually. Our church events happen bi-culturally, bi-lingually. But it has been quite the seven-year journey, and I've been there for five of it. It has been amazing to see what God has been able to do with people when we simply focus on relationships and communication, let our guard down, and truly allow the love of Christ to be the forefront of what we do. So it's been quite the journey at Elmwood, in Buenos Maritano. But we are a congregation now that worships as one on Sundays.


Hi, I'm Kathy Wiederholt. I'm the fruit project manager at the Carrington Research Extension Center. I'm here in the Hascap berries. We have quite a few here, and we've been looking at them since 2007. And let me tell you a little bit about them. There's really three kinds of Hascaps. Really more like two, but there's three kinds. There's the Russian kinds, which were first brought to the United States, and they're called honeyberries. And then there are the Canadian varieties, which are a kind of a cross between two different kinds of Russian varieties. And they are incorporating some Japanese heritage in there. And that leads me to the third variety, which are the Japanese Hascaps. So we really like the Japanese Hascaps. The Russians tend to be a little bitter. The Canadian ones have not produced well for us, but they were the very first releases from the university. And their new releases should be much better because they are incorporating the Japanese material in there. So what I really want to talk to you about is the Japanese varieties here. They are more upright. They are as hardy as anything else, all hardy to about zone two. And they can produce more fruit for us. We're not exactly sure why, but they definitely produce more fruit. They bloom about 10 to 12 or 10 to 14 days later than the other varieties, so it may give them a chance to have more natural pollinators, but they produce a large fruit. And like I said, the plants grow more upright. So we're hoping that this is more conducive to mechanical harvesting. Right now, it's pretty hard to mechanical harvest any of the Hascaps. The original Canadian ones grow kind of low, and then the Russian ones are kind of a tight shrub, so we're working at it. We're working at it. And that's what this project is for, to see what would be best for North Dakota. We have one little issue in North Dakota that is a slight problem for Hascaps, and that is our famous wind. It's very windy. It shakes the fruit, and the fruit tends to fall off as it ripens. And it doesn't help that these plants tend to bloom for about two weeks, so they kind of have an extended ripening period. So that is the problem. We have fruit that falls, and then this uneven ripening. The research center has a grant for this project through the specialty crop block grant project, and we are trying to look for varieties that will do better in North Dakota. I've been working with the U.S. breeder out in Oregon, Dr. Maxine Thompson, and I've been working with her for almost seven or eight years now. We actually have some of her plants from 2007, but I've been able to visit her orchard and select plants that might do better here. I look for plants where the fruit is more medium-sized, the fruit clings a little better, and then I would like to have fruit that all ripens more evenly. So this is what our grant is for, is to look for these plants. We are probably getting to over a hundred, we have probably more than a hundred plants here in the orchard, but the different varieties we have, we probably have about twenty-five or thirty varieties, different Japanese hascaps. None of them have names, they're all breeding numbers, so we're just looking at all the qualities they have and seeing how they do here in North Dakota. For homeowners, I would say look for the Canadian varieties, because that's the best chance, or it's really some of the only selections that you have. And the new varieties, there's borealis and tundra, those were the originals, and let me say the new variety should do better. It is boreal beast, beauty, and blizzard. And those should do pretty well here, have big fruit, and more upright plants. You need two varieties to have fruit, they have to cross-pollinate like apples do, and they'll each have slightly different fruit from each other, but they should be delicious. The fruit is tender, it's really good in jam, it's really good in ice cream, we just had some last night. And I have to say that the winemakers in North Dakota love hascaps. It makes such a rich and full-flavored wine, it's just really delicious. And if you have a chance to grow them, I would encourage you to do so and also to let you know that you must net them. The birds will take your fruit, the instant it turns just a little bit blue. You'll never see a blue fruit and you'll think your plants never have fruit, but that's not true. It's for the birds taking them at 4.30 in the morning. So try some Hascat plants and remember to net them. Just average soil will do well for you and it's a very nice fruit. I encourage you to try them. Thank you.


The State of Ohio and Ohio State's Fisher College of Business launched a pilot program to help young entrepreneurs accelerate their ideas into a successful start-up company. Teams in the 10X program will soon present their plans to hundreds of investors in hopes of attracting more funding. One of those teams is Flare Code. Flare Code stands for Flexible Light Augmented Reality Everywhere. Nicholas Solante and Ian Bausman Henderson are magazine journalism majors at Ohio University in southeast Ohio. They have an idea that could transform the print industry and beyond. Ian and I were kind of inspired by the December 2009 issue of the Best Squire magazine. We thought the best thing that they came out with was it was a magazine review where it had a code and you just scanned it, no bullsh** played a track from that album while you listened to the album review. That was awesome. So we were like how can we do stuff like that and make it basically like a platform where anyone can do that. There are templates for making websites and that's huge. And now there are templates for bringing websites to mobile and that's huge. But now what the web is really about is this community function and we're a template for building a community. Flare Code helps the community connect the offline and online worlds through QR codes, scan a code with a mobile device and you'll quickly access digital content like social media feeds, photos, videos, more. It's like humanizing the internet, you know, by and really making the internet more tangible. Technology and the innovation that they represent is potentially world changing. Some analysts have predicted that the, you know, offline to online and online to offline space, that Odo space is a trillion dollar opportunity coming in the future. But first, the Flare Code team must come up with a successful business plan. That's why they applied to the 10X Accelerator program. 10X has been really helpful in just getting us in front of people. I think that's been the biggest thing. They've done a lot of insight from people that have been in it before, but the coolest thing is just being in front of people that have actually done it before. One of the things I've been advising them on is really taking a step back and rather than looking at it from a technology perspective. We definitely have always learned from our mistakes because there's nothing to do except keep moving forward. Flare Code is already working with its first clients, a partnership between an app and a television station and OU student newspaper. There's going to be a code on the front page of the post that you can scan and not only will you be getting all the news content from WOUB, as it happens whenever they put it up on the internet, you're going to get it right on the paper, but you're going to get breaking news that comes out after the paper through Twitter, through blogs, all that opinion article. And if you want to discuss the paper, you just comment on the paper. I mean what it comes down to is we love what we do. We wouldn't want to do anything else. They represent what? The entrepreneurial spirit that actually creates a sustainable organization. Flare Code plans to launch in the fall as a multi-platform solution with mobile apps for the iPhone and Android phones as well as a mobile web browser.


The study investigates the impact of rapid economic development and urbanization on ecosystem service value, ESV, in the Guangdong Hong Kong Macau Greater Bay Area, GBA, from 1990 to 2030, using a latest annual 30mlucc database, future land use simulation model, and ecosystem service evaluation approaches. The results show that forest and crop land are dominant land use types, built-up land expansion is the clearest process, and reduction of crop land and forest contributes to decreasing total ESV. The study also confirms the effectiveness of the FLUS model in predicting future LUCC. If regional forest and water body reductions are not constrained, the ESV is predicted to decrease to 4962.23x100 million yuan in the 2030s under the current development mode. The study provides a reference for promoting rational land resource use and ecological construction in the GBA, and can help with ecological planning and environmental protection.
