Are the presidency, Jane Callaghan, Yeezy, mysigrid Nana, invited guest members of the media, good morning and thank you for being here at the NPN studios. Of course we're here to celebrate the Nobel Laureate Festival as we do annually and this year we have so many different events that we have for you and we hope that of course you at home will come and attend. So we are going to be letting you know what's going to be happening this year ..y'n dwi'n gweithio'n arddangos i fynd i'r ffemysgfa. Yn y bydd yma ymddangos yng nghymru yw'r cyffredin.. ..y'r cyffredin honno'r newblariad ffesifol. Herksensi Dane Pelekentwm Ymwgysig. Ddod i'n gofyn am ysgol. Yn gweithio ddim yn gwneud ymddangos i'r hyn.. ..er i'r ffesifol yn bobl yn gweithio'r ENTN. Yn y gweithio'n gweithio, yfnod ymlaen yng nghymru.. ..y'r ffesifol newblariad.. 13 January to 26, 27, and continuing. We've been doing this for the past 26 years. In fact, this is the 26th edition of the honoring of our laureates. By now, most people in St. Lucia would know why we have this festival, but because I know that we have extended our reach a little to bring in persons who would not normally have been listening to these kinds of productions. I just want to give a reason why it is this time of year. The 23rd of January is in fact the birthday of our two Nobel laureates. So, as I say every year, if anybody has any intentions of having their progeny as Nobel laureates, you arrange for them to be born on the 23rd of January. We have a theme every year. The main theme is celebrating excellence, because that is what the Nobel laureates are all about. But every year we have a sub theme, and this year the sub theme is 40 years on. So our general theme, celebrating excellence, 40 years on. Of course, two reasons why we chose this particular theme. Of course, we are going to be celebrating, or we should by now have started celebrating, the 40th anniversary of our independence. There will be a program obviously later on. But this year, the 40th year of our independence, is also the 40th year since Arthur received his Nobel prize for economics. So that is why our theme, celebrating excellence, 40 years on. And we have wrapped this theme around the general theme of the independence activities, which, if I get it correctly, is all in. We are all in it. It's our journey, our future. So that while we are celebrating the laureates, it's not just the two gentlemen, but all of us in the celebration of our independence as a nation, of our achievements over these past 40 years. Now, unfortunately, both of our laureates have passed on. But there should not be to my mind any dimning or weakening of our pride in what our two accomplishments have been able to achieve. So they may have gone to the great beyond. And if I should quote a little Hamlet, they have gone to the undiscovered born where, from which no traveler returns. But we are hoping that they may not be here physically, but I hope and I know they are here in spirit. So I would like to invite everybody to join in our celebrations. And just to reiterate that Novel Laureate Festival is not just simply honoring or celebrating the achievements of the two gentlemen, our two accomplishments. There is a second aspect to our celebration, and it is to give us an opportunity every year to celebrate excellence in our own achievements, to nurture the potential to unlock the potential that is within all of us. And you don't have to be an economist like Sir Arthur or a man of letters as Sir Derek. It could be anything at all, any profession. What we're looking at is excellence. And you will notice that from the programs that we're going to put on during the course of the festival. Two weeks and beyond. So let us all come in. We will be having programs over the next two weeks to tell you what's coming, what's going, what's happening. And just keep an air open, an eye open, and come in and let us celebrate ourselves, really. We're celebrating Sir Arthur William Lewis, Sir Derek Alton-Walka, but we are also celebrating St Lucia, St Lucia's. Thank you very much. And now it's time for the part where we encourage you all to ensure that you come to the events, not just in cashries, but all throughout St Lucia. So I'd like to invite Ciaran St Rose to tell us about the first event. As Julia said to you, my name is Ciaran St Lucia. My name is Ciaran St Rose and I am the coordinator of the church service and the breakfast. I'm here to invite every one of you to attend the church service and also the breakfast. The church service will be scheduled to be held at the abyss of the Immaclete conception, Mount of Preys, Cwbari. It's a long, long name, but we can say at Mount of Preys, Cwbari. The church service is scheduled for the 13th of January, which is Sunday coming at 7.45. And as I said, everybody in here is invited to attend the church service. It gives you an opportunity to meet us, to interact with us. Soon after the church service, we are having a breakfast at the same venue. The cost of the breakfast is only $35. So everybody should make an effort to attend and those who have never heard our one and only songster from the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College sing the Nobel Laureate Song. It is a wonderful opportunity to... It is a wonderful opportunity to hear the song. She has a fantastic voice and I hear her every year and I still get carried away. So please make an effort to attend. It's at Cwbari 7.45 and the cost of the breakfast is $35. At the little breakfast, it would give you an opportunity to mix with the team. Find out from them a little about the Nobel Laureate Song. Just hear it on the road. But fine, let us talk to you to tell you whatever we know about the laureates. So again, I'm making a plea. Everybody should try to attend the church service followed by the breakfast. Anyway, thank you and see you there. Karen said it all there. The only thing that she missed was, of course, we know how wonderfully the nuns cook. They can cook. So you can always after the service and please don't cheat and not come to the service. But enjoy the breakfast with us as well. And we will, I'm sure, entice you to come out and visit some of the events. Now, I have a few events that I'd like to share with you and a couple of questions and perhaps you could honestly try to answer them in your minds. Many people don't realise that Sir Arthur Lewis became Britain's first black professor. Did you know that? Yes. Ah, well, you and you're in the committee. He did this at the University of Manchester in England. But have you ever thought how he managed to achieve everything that he did in those days? Because after all, it was 1948. Can you imagine how hard it must have been for him to forge his way? So he was actually there when he completed most of his important works. And in 1979, of course, he received the Nobel Prize for Economics. Through a series of videos and accounts by professionals, by professors and students of the University of Manchester, I have collaborated with them to put a really wonderful piece online that shows all the works or most of the works that he accomplished at the university. There are videos that discuss the effect and students talking about what they've learnt via some of the principles that Sir Arthur Lewis taught and actually explored. So we would invite everyone to go to the page. If you don't remember it right now, just go to Manchester.ac.uk or just type in Manchester University Sir Arthur and it will come up. There is a link and we'll put that up on the screen for you as well and on our Facebook page. So you can actually go there, spend a few moments listening, watching some videos, reading some of his works. You will be able to have access to that more or less straight away, although we have it down here as Monday the 14th. I've checked and it's there already. All right, also there was a building there named after him where the lectures take place and there's an annual lecture every year. Now on Friday the 18th of January, St Lucia's High Commissioner to the UK, his Excellency Guy Mears, will actually visit that building, the Arthur Lewis building, which was opened in 2015. His Excellency will also attend a luncheon, sorry, with Professor Brian Heffey, who is Head of Social Sciences, Professor Chris Wallace, who is Head of Economics, and Professor Angela Wilson, the School of Social Sciences, International Lead. The Commissioner will also meet St Lucia's, who are studying at the university, and also he will visit the community where he was very active, not just for St Lucia's in Manchester, but for Caribbean people in Manchester. So we'll be taking pictures and as a member of the Special Events Committee for St Lucia's in the UK, we have organised this. So if you are in the UK watching this, because of course the power of online media, you are going to be seeing pictures and some of the visitors that's there. Also, I'd like to know what is your perception of St Lucia's Nobel Laureate Festival? What do you really think it's all about? There are many things out there, people say, well, it's not for me, it's for a certain person, well no it's not, it's for everyone. So we're going to be asking questions like that. And also, how much do you know about our Nobel Laureates and how their works have influenced the world? We take a lot of these things for granted. So the Nobel Laureate Festival Committee would like to thank Choice TV for sponsoring a programme which will highlight those questions. It's going to be a very quick programme, so you don't have to sit and watch for hours. Five minutes, we'll ask you a question and we'll get someone there who can answer that. And at the end of the day, we hope that it will make you understand why we need to continue celebrating our Nobel Laureates. And that takes place from Monday the 21st of January to Friday, every day, five minutes before the news. No excuse, you're waiting for the news, so just turn it on, turn the volume up a little louder and then listen and understand. We're going to ask the questions that we think you need to know the answers to, but we are still open and receptive. If there is a question that you would like us to answer, please send it to us so we can answer that question. It is so important that we understand why it is so important. The last event I want to tell you about is about Barbara Ingoam and Paul Mosley's biography about Sir Arthur Lewis. In the biography, of course, he will talk about the man himself and his trials, tribulations, and the things that he experienced and conquered. And what they also do is they consider his friendships, his rivalries and the society, as it was in England at the time. I will be talking to Professor Mosley about the authors, how they decided how they were going to write the book, what are the features about Sir Arthur, they felt that people should know. And also how the book was received by everyone. It has had a lot of international acclaim, and yet so many people, and I think innocent Lucien don't even know that it's there. So we are going to be doing a live radio station in London, in the city of London, very close to the mayor's office, where we're going to be talking about that. That happens later on in the year, in fact, one day before independence. So you'll have enough notice about that. And it will be available on the podcast. So all the information here that I've given you, and everything else that everyone else is going to tell you, it'll be on the screen, and will also give you the reasons or the ways that you can get in touch with people at the end of the show. So thank you, and I'll go ahead and ask Christelle if she would like to come. Thank you. Good morning, good morning. Your Excellency, good morning, everyone. I'm here representing Santa Mary's College. My name is Christelle Lee. Every year, for the last 11 years, I think at this level we've been doing celebrations, a show for a Nobel Laureate festival called the Literary Night. Of course, the school has been celebrating at different levels for much longer than that, because guess what? The secondary school that the Nobel Laureates went to is none other than Saint Mary's College. So, of course, we always strive, like our theme says, to celebrate excellence and engender it in our students. So this is a time to expose and show the world what Saint Mary's College brings. So this year, we are looking at love, love as an answer, because we're in a society that we're seeing a lot of fighting, a lot of anger, so many things, so many ills, and we're thinking and we're exploring with the students, and they are showing us that love can answer a lot of questions. And you know there are different types of love. The Greeks spoke about loving different forms and so on, and all of these things are what will be coming to stage in dance, in song, in poem, spoken word. So this is a night that everyone needs to come out to. Everyone needs to come and see. When people sometimes think of love as only the relationship, the boyfriend and girlfriend, but there's love of nation, there's love of society, the brotherly love of just your fellow man, just the person that's on the road that we all need to take advantage of, understand, and engender in ourselves. So Saint Mary's College, the 25th of January, Friday, at the National Cultural Center, 7.30. Be there, or you'll miss it. Thank you. Good morning, everyone. Good morning, everyone. Good morning. My name is Pupetio James, and I'm here this morning with Miss Rubina Joseph. She is another member of our committee, and I would like to share with you some of the activities that we will be having as part of our Nobel Laureates Festival in January. We represent the January Development Foundation. We start our activity this year with a night of literary performances. We will be having drumming, we will be having the spoken word. We will also be having three plays, three short plays, directed by Mr Hayden Ford. We want to thank him so much for that. And on the same night, we will be having our lecture. So you would well imagine it will be a packed night where we have performances and everything else, and then we have a lecture. We are so very honored to have Mr Oban Dolo to do our lecture for us this year. And we are hoping, in fact, we know that we would have a very good time with him. He is somebody who I think can interact very well with audiences and so on. And he has confirmed that he will be there. This night, it climaxes with our annual cocktail, our annual Nobel Laureates cocktail. We can miss that because people look forward to that. We have a lovely cocktail after all the activities, the lecture, the performances. And stay around and talk about the evening and everything else. Another feature of our celebration in January is the involvement of our schools in the area. We will be having short presentations on the lives and work of our laureates. And this will be made at three schools in January. At the school assemblies, we would not be interrupting the schedule. We would go to the assemblies and make those presentations. Last year, a similar activity took place. And this was well received by both students and members of staff. So this year, we are doing it again with a little more, a question and answer session after the presentations. And we will be giving them some tokens. We have been able to secure some small tokens featuring our laureates. There are some locally made wooden key rings, whatever it is. And we will be sharing that with our students. And this particular activity would be managed by the Tenry Youth and Sports Council. Let me ask Miss Joseph to do the photo. Thank you. The Tenry Development Foundation would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has made the event possible for us, especially in the past with the excellent Sydian Polet-Lewisi, and those who continue to do so to present. We thank you so very much for your continued assistance and you have so frequently assisted us in keeping the event alive. So we would like to invite everyone to our conversations. That's the name of our event. Our conversations on January 26, 2019 at 7 p.m. and to be held at the Chateau Heritage that's along the highway in Dennerry, right opposite the police station. You cannot miss it. So once again, let me take this opportunity to invite everyone, especially Dennerry community members, come out and support and celebrate our Nobel laureates. Thank you. Your Excellency, I don't need any introduction. I notice. So here I am, Margot Thomas of the National Archives Authority, and we have been with this committee from the beginning. And once again, the National Archives Authority is honoured to be part of the Nobel Laureate Festival. This year marks the 40th anniversary of St Lucia's independence and is also the 40th anniversary of the awarding of the Nobel Prize for Economics to our own Sir William Arthur Lewis. What better way to pay homage to our country and our laureates than by hosting an exhibition, just think about it, to showcase the growth of our island coupled with the achievements of our laureates? Our exhibition is entitled St Lucia's Independence 40 Years On and will run from Wednesday, 23 January, to 31 March at the National Archives VG. We look forward to your attendance at our exhibition, which will be launched on Wednesday, the 23rd of January at the National Archives. I would like to invite you to be there. It is the birth date of our laureates and we shall be celebrating with... Just think of what you need to celebrate. The exhibition will highlight the turbulent years prior to the granting of independence. Were you there? I was there. Some of you were, many weren't. We look at the independence celebrations and the important developments during each of the four decades until now. We must bear in mind that it was in the decade of the 1990s that Sir Derek Alton Walcott was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Let us continue to celebrate our laureates who epitomise excellence lest we forget. Let me remind you that the legacy of these gentlemen will continue to live on. We've certainly seen Viva Sant Lucia. See you there. Good morning. Good morning. So let me introduce myself. My name is Bookie Kane and I have an art gallery called Me Curator which is located at Massard Grosillais. So I would like to say thank you first of all to the committee for letting me take part in this event and being part of this amazing celebration of Sir Arthur Lewis and also Sir Derek Walcott. I will be hosting an art exhibition. So as you can see here we have examples of some artwork which have been done by some students. So my focus is to host an art exhibition on the 17th of this month at the gallery and it will feature artwork done by young students between the age of 16 and 20. It's in collaboration with the Nobel Laureate Committee and also the Tuvet unit. So my call is for young artists to come and submit an artwork based on the poetry of Sir Derek Walcott. In this instance the art work should be based on a poem called Saint Lucia II which is all about celebrating what it is to be Lucian, what it means to you, how you are from Saint Lucia, of Saint Lucia and it's within you. I'd also like to encourage everyone, everyone in fact to come to the art launch night which takes place on the 17th of this month and that will be at the art gallery, Me Curator art gallery from 7 p.m. And the launch night will feature works by the young artists who are again from Saint Lucia, representing the works by Sir Derek Walcott and also work done by other artists within Saint Lucia, young and also old. So it's just a case of saying thank you for your time and we look forward to seeing you guys there on the 17th. Good morning everyone. Your Excellency. For 2019 the Cultural Development Foundation through the Ministry of Tourism, Information and Broadcasting in collaboration with the Nobel Laureate Festival Committee is pleased to yet again be hosting the Sir Derek Walcott Memorial Lecture. This year the lecture is going to be held on the 22nd of January and we will be embracing a new venue which should be very interesting in itself. The lecture will be held at the conference room of the Financial Administrative Building which ironically is right next to us. This event is absolutely free and we are inviting the general public to participate. Every year it is really a thought provoking lecture that takes place. From my introduction to the foundation I've always been engrossed and enthralled by what is put on by the foundation. And it is sad but also it drives you to want to get people to be a part of the experience and understand what the committee and the festival is about and what work these two incredible gentlemen have brought to St. Lucia and how they have really placed this little dot on the map internationally. This year the lecture will be delivered by Professor Gregson Davies. Professor Davies is an Andrew William Mellon distinguished research professor in the humanities at Duke University. Antigone born Professor Davies has established several journal articles on the poetry of Sir Derek Walcott and has edited a volume of his essays devoted to his work. His professional career in higher education in the USA embraces appointments at Stanford University spanning over two decades. I was not born yet. Cornell University for five years and Duke University over two decades with a two year intervening stint at New York University. His research and teaching has been divided between two classical studies and also comparative literature. This lecture promises to be enticing and again a very thought provoking one. The theme for this year's lecture is birds in the pictorial landscapes of Derek Walcott's poetry and drama. Again, I am inviting everyone and the entire simulation populist although I don't think we can take everyone but as many as we possibly can to be a part of this event. Again, it is absolutely free and it will be held on Tuesday the 22nd of January at the Financial Centre. Thank you. At 7.30, thank you so much for writing that one by me at 7.30. Thank you. Your Excellency, good morning everyone. I am here representing Ministry of Education, Innovation, Gender Relations and Sustainable Development. And if you have been following the festival you know that the ministry has had quite a number of activities on the festival calendar because we understand the importance of nurturing excellence, nurturing the next generation to, as our chair said, to make sure that we have future Nobel laureates in the making. So if you look at our calendar you'll realise the first week we have quite a number of activities on the Ministry of Education. From the 14th to the 19th is basically the school's contribution to the festival. On Monday the 14th we have the school's music festival and what we do every year is especially in the first term the music department we conduct festivals in all the districts across the island and out of that we select the best of the various aspects of music. So we have singers, we have choirs, we have instruments, a little bit of everything and on Monday we invite you it's 10 o'clock at the National Cultural Centre to come out and see the best of the next generation of musicians. On Tuesday the 15th we have the National Awards of Excellence and at that time Ministry of Education we take a moment to celebrate and to recognise persons, students as well as employees who have in some way been excellent in the recently concluded academic year. On the 17th and the 18th we have a new component this year. It's part of what we call our cultural explorations series. What has happened is, well you know we usually have our work at schools festival and out of that we try as much as possible to follow the philosophy and the interests of the Warkad family and between, well both brothers, our of course our Nobel laureate winner as well as his brother, they have really been part of all the areas in the arts and they have also through their work made sure that persons have an understanding of the culture of St Lucia. So in following those footsteps we are trying through this series to ensure that students and the general public get an opportunity to experience not only our culture but culture of various countries. So on the 17th and the 18th we will have a team coming from Trinidad and Tobago and they will be conducting workshops alongside with cultural practitioners in St Lucia. This is going to be for secondary schools. And then on the 19th we have a young St Lucia, Shatoia Jabaptis. She has her own dance company called I hope I'm saying it correctly, The Sheer Experience. And on the 19th at the Grosile secondary school she has brought together a group of choreographers from the US, from Barbados and of course from St Lucia and they will be exploring and looking at similarities, techniques and cultural connections in terms of dance. So we're inviting you to come out for that. This is for the general public as well. It will cost you only $65. It starts at nine and ends at 4 p.m. Now in terms of our work at schools festival one of our major elements we try to have every year some sort of performance and this year we are collaborating with youth and arts and they will be repeating their performance of Maskerid Master which was written by one of our committee members, Miss Junior Frederick and we actually have three performances on that day. One at 10 a.m. for primary schools, one at 1 p.m. for secondary schools and one at 7 30 p.m. for the general public. So that way hopefully the students as well as the general public will have an opportunity to see the performance. So we invite you through our performances of course as much as it is for schools it's also educational so please feel free to come and join and to experience with us. Where is that? Cultural centre. Which one sorry? No 730. Yes at the cultural centre. So the performances of Maskerid Master all at the cultural centre. Good morning, Your Excellency, Ms Nama. Invited guests, media, Nobel laureate committee. My name is Jermaine Joseph. I'm representing the Saint Lucia National Trust and we are very excited to be part of the Nobel laureate festival. Thank you so much to the Nobel laureate committee for inviting us. We will be, Walk at House will be participating in this event in that we'll be having an open house from the 21st to the 25th of January and during this open house we'll be inviting students please come out and take part in an audiovisual exhibition. There will be some of Walk at, Derek Walk at sketches in, on original sketches on exhibition there. So between the 21st and the 25th between nine and four p.m. Please come down. You can book by calling 452-3639 and just book for an hour or two. What usually takes place is that the students come through and we give them a tour of the Walk at Family Tree. There's some of Derek's watercolours on display. So we really try to sort of engage the students at their level. So primary school to secondary school. So they can actually see first hand what so Derek's watercolour techniques are about, what he wrote about and we engage them and some of them come up with ideas. They realise that so Derek was a normal person like themselves. He went to school at the Methodist school. So Walk at House sort of puts all of this into context and we really encourage everyone to come down and visit. Thank you. Good morning everyone. Your Excellency. My name is Andrew Jabati. Some representing 758 books. And this year we are hosting the Children's 2019 exhibition and that will be at our new location in the Gablewoods Mall in the courtyard. So please join us there. We will be featuring works, new works by Lovely Sheridan, Jacinta Leannuus, Patricia Turnbull and Dawn French, also Judelea. And that will be from January 20th to the 31st as I said at the Gablewoods Mall and it will be at 9am in the morning. That is the time that the store will be opening and it will be interactive. The children will have an opportunity to be read to by some of the authors and also to participate in painting, drawing, et cetera. So we're looking forward to seeing you guys there. Thank you very much for the Laureate Committee for inviting us and we appreciate it. Thank you. Good morning everyone. My name is Raymond Joseph. I'm a retired educator. The event which I am coordinating is the launch of the At the Well Leadership Academy in the US in the summer. This initiative seeks to establish a connection between Young's Inclusions and Princeton University through participation in the At the Well Leadership Academy which is held every summer at Princeton University, where Sir Arthur, one of our two Nobel Laureates and whose 40th anniversary of the receipt of the Nobel Laureate we are celebrating this year, worked for 20 years. He worked there from 1963 to 1983. So this connection we are hoping that young men and women will be inspired to strive for excellence and global leadership which were the hallmarks of Sir Arthur's illustrious career. The seminar will be facilitated by two persons from the At the Well Conferences Incorporated, Mistress Jacqueline Glass Campbell, who is the founder and executive director and also Mr Toby Sanders who participates in the summer program. The components of the At the Well Conference would include things like leadership development, academic preparation, curriculum features such as leadership projects, interaction, learning to discuss in small groups, et cetera. The At the Well launch targets, not the general public this time, but targets students from grades 11 and 12 and we are particularly focusing on the student councils which are the leadership arms in the secondary schools and also the National Youth Conference, the National Youth Council. If there are any parents in the general public who probably might be interested in seeing what their sons and daughters may be invited to participate in, we invite them also to participate in this activity. The activity will take place at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, more unfortunately at 10 a.m. on Thursday, January the 24th, 2019. I want to thank, this is my first time on the Nobel Laureate Committee and I want to thank her excellency for allowing me to have this activity. Thank you very much. Your Excellency, especially invited guests, members of the media, good morning. My name is Nathalie Julie Fannis and I am here representing the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College. And as usual, we are very proud to be part of this continuing remembrance and celebration of our two Nobel Laureates. We have young people in our care and we think it is so very important for us to agenda excellence in them and who better to use than Sir Arthur Lewis and Derek Walcott. So this year, as usual, we will be hosting three major activities that we consider on the national calendar as well as our student council is organizing activities within the school between the 21st and all the way to independence. They have a calendar that they will be hosting. Our first major activity, however, is on Wednesday the 23rd and that is an academic discourse where our faculty and members of the community will be engaged in discussion of an under topic relevant to the society. Both Sir Arthur and Sir Derek were very instrumental advocates of change in the society and they did get into some social issues that affected us and lend their voice to it, both locally, within the Caribbean and internationally. And therefore, we will encourage our faculty to explore the topic, the role of academics as a social force in the society. What role do they play? How can they be instrumental in change in the society? So that discourse will be taking place on Wednesday the 23rd of January at 12.30 p.m. on the campus. It's open to, of course, our college community but we do invite other members to come and be part of it. On that same day, Wednesday the 23rd, we will be very busy. Our students, they will be in action and they will be putting on a dramatic presentation or production at the National Cultural Centre at 7.30 p.m. and that one is entitled, Aeternum, I call that right? Aeternum. And they are exploring a social issue that is affecting them. They are looking at the issue of suicide in the society, especially among young men. So this young man, after he commits suicide, is in purgatory and there he is forced to explore all of the issues that led him to that place. And then speaking to the students, they are saying there's a lot of depression and suicide in our society and they don't just look at it as a dark issue but facing the issues that are confronting them and hopefully to help young people face that. So you know we are hungry for theatre in St. Lucia, so I am hoping that the general public will come out to see that production. This is the second year that the students are writing, directing, producing their own dramatic presentation. So please come out and support the students of the South Louis Drama Club on Wednesday the 23rd, 7 p.m. There's a small cost of $20 just to offset costuming and the set design, et cetera. So we look forward to seeing our students in action. Last year our production was very well received and had to be repeated so we hope the same will happen after your attendance at the first one. On Thursday the 23rd of January we will be hosting the Sir Arthur Lewis Memorial Lecture as we do every year and we heard Delia's speaker Dr Paul Mosley who recently authored a biography of Sir Arthur. So he is looking at Sir Arthur not just as an economist but also as a social activist. So we have that theme running through and the title of his lecture is Arthur Lewis as thinker social activist. Dr Paul Mosley is a professor of economics at Sheffield University and the lecture will be taking place at the Finance Administrative Centre at 7.30 p.m. on Thursday the 23rd of January and that is also open to the general public and it is free. Pardon? Thursday the 24th, my apologies. 24th, Wednesday the 23rd, Thursday the 24th. For that particular week our final activity for that week will be the wreath laying ceremony and this is where we, members of the community, members of the Lewis and Wolcott families come together to lay wreaths at the gravesite of both Sir Arthur and Sir Derek. As you know, Sir Derek is now buried on the grounds of the Inesculent Monument which is just off to the side of where Sir Arthur has been laid to rest. So we gather together to remember them. We normally have the students put on dramatic presentations representing the works of the two laureates and we lay wreaths at their gravesites to close off the week that we used to celebrate. But so Thursday, sorry, Friday, the 25th of January will be the wreath laying ceremony at the gravesite of Sir Arthur Lewis at 10 am in the morning. 10 am. So we are again pleased to be able to partner with the rest of the committee in order to put on those activities and we look forward to the general public participating in all of these activities. Thank you very much. Well, that's all just one other thing before Leslie comes on. We also have Paint the Village, Paint Our History, which is going to be with Jonathan Gladding and that takes place in Labry. It's the second time I believe that we're doing it because it was so well received. So you don't need to be an artist.  So that's taking place with Jonathan and this year it will focus on Labry's historical and industrial heritage. That is taking place on Saturday, the 26th and Sunday, the 27th of January and it's between 10 am and 2 pm. Okay, Leslie? Oh, Excellency, D'Aimpola Louise, Ms Sigrid Norma and all specially invited guests here this morning. My name is Leslie Crane-Mitchell and I represent the UWI Open Campus St Lucia. Four years ago, the Open Campus decided that as its contribution to the Nobel Laureate Festival that it would set up and establish a literary workshop in the name of another St Lucia icon and her name is Dr Patricia Ismund. As I said, she's the daughter of the soil and for many decades, she worked with the University of the West Indies as professor of literature. So many persons have passed through her hands and have been taught by her over many years. She is well known for doing some seminal work on Sir Derek Walkert, which can be found in the library at the University of the West Indies. So, as our contribution, what we have done for the last few years is to partner with the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College as well as with the Viewfort Secondary Comprehensive, the post-secondary unit, where the students take the Cape Literatures in English, it's called these days, and we host a whole day session for them, which starts at 9 o'clock and ends at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. This workshop is actually a joint effort of the University of the West Indies Open Campus and Dr Ismund's sister, Ms Hester Ismund, who has been very, very supportive of her sister's work and of the work of the University of the West Indies. Not only does she essentially fund the workshop on a yearly basis, but also scholarship has been set up by Ms Hester Ismund in her sister's name, which allows a St Lucian student, you have to be St Lucian, and studying the area of literature at the University of the West Indies to receive a scholarship on a regular basis. So we are very, very grateful to Ms Ismund. So this workshop is for students, but in addition to that, there is also usually a half-day session that is held for the tutors of the two schools in order to prepare for the workshop and also for them to receive some extra training and to enter into some further discussion with the facilitator so that they can enhance their teaching of their students. The facilitator of the workshop is also daughter of the soil. She is Dr Antonia McDonnell. She was well-known for being a literature tutor at the Sir Arthur Lewis Community College for many years. She has, however, for a while now moved on and she is a professor in literature at St George's University in Grenada, as well as Dean of the College of Arts at that university. She comes with a wealth of knowledge and lots of experience having worked with CXC herself. So in many ways we have to thank your excellency for being patient and for extending the festival all the way down to the month of March, so that we could be included. Usually we are on time, but because we had to fit in with Dr McDonnell's schedule, unfortunately we had to do it in March. So the workshop will be held on Thursday, the 14th of March. It is really being held specifically for those students. So usually when you combine both schools, number approximately 100 students and usually they find it very worthwhile in assisting them with their examination preparation. So thank you very much for your patience. Thank you Leslie. I'd like to invite our excellency, Dane Pallet-Louisey, to the podium to accept a very special thing, something that we all like to receive. Would you like to come and introduce yourself and what the check is for? Thank you. Okay, pleasant. Good morning to everyone. Chairperson of the Novelary Committee, excellency Dane Pallet-Louisey, a special guest and members of the media. My name is Leola and I am the marketing officer for First Citizens Investment Services. And just as in the past years, First Citizens Investment Services is proud to once again support the activities of the Nobel Laureate Festival. We recognise the excellent contributions of our two Nobel Laureates to this island and to the rest of the world. We also recognise the importance of celebrating Sir Arthur-Louise and Sir Derek Walcott and continuing the legacy for generations to come, so as to educate and to inspire others to achieve greatness. First Citizens remains committed in its support of the people, arts and culture in Tynwsia. Our support as before will go directly to the Walcott Schools Festival and we look forward to an epic production of a mascarine master. We are indeed pleased to know that a workshop for students will also form part of the Walcott Schools Festival and hope that this will foster talent and creativity among the participants. I would like to extend best wishes to the production team, including Michelle Thebles, Junior Frederick, the Youth in Arts Theatre Company and to the facilitator of the workshop, Mrs. June Frederick. First Citizens Investment Services congratulates the Nobel Laureate Committee for its commitment to making these events possible every year and anticipates an outstanding celebration of excellence what he is honoured. Thank you. Yes, let me thank First Citizens Investment Services for once again sponsoring our Walcott Schools Theatre Festival. First Citizens is always interested, as you've heard, in youth and in the arts and in culture. So every year or the past four years, I think, they have been making that contribution. So it comes in... I mean, it's a very timely presentation. It comes in very handy. All right, and so we thank you so very much. Thank you, everybody. Now, I think we have covered everyone. So I would like to thank NTN, Choice TV, for sponsoring the shows that they're going to be producing and the star newspaper who are actually producing a supplement to celebrate our Nobel Laureates. I'd also like to thank the committee members who take a lot of time. We don't just do this in the month of January of the year that we are presenting. We spend a very long time to put everything together. And of course, I'd like to thank our Chair, her Excellency, Dame Pellet-Louisey, for her continued support and strength when we have to get everything together. And before I thank you, members of the audience and you at home, I would like to remind you that all the events, or most of the events, platform three, are free. So don't hesitate to come and take part. I also want to let you know that we are guaranteeing you that if you attend the breakfast with us on the 13th of January, apart from having that scrumptious breakfast, you will be able to meet members of the committee and you can talk about some of the events that you may want to attend. So don't forget the date, Sunday, January the 13th, 7.45 a.m. So we will go to... I'm not going to attempt to say the long title, but of course, we all know that the... Do you want to attempt to say the whole name for me? But we just call it the Cwbury. The Mount of Prayer at Cwbury. So we hope that you will all come. But ultimately, I'd like to remind you that the Nobel Laureate Festival Committee, everything we do, we do it for you. So thank you so much for joining us today, and we look forward to welcoming you in the future. Thank you.


Item number SCP-297, Object Class, Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-297 is to be kept in a standard lockbox at Site-19's high value item storage facility. Standard positive action defenses, explosive chemical, biological, and memetic are to be in place at all times, according to standard operating procedure. While wishing to utilize SCP-297 for experimental or field purposes, must fill out a Form 32 and submit it to the head of research and containment. Description SCP-297 is a transparent plastic vibrator, approximately 30 cm in length, 5 cm in width. Examination is determined that the internal structure has been heavily altered, and that the standard six-volt power supply has been converted into what appears to be a micronized nuclear reactor, powered by a small quantity of plutonium. In addition, the standard power intensity controls have been altered from the normal on-off switch with secondary intensity dial to a single five-stage selector switch. The bottom four intensity levels, off, low, medium, high, appear to be within normal parameters for such a device, and can be used safely for such purposes, if so desired. When turned to the highest intensity setting, labeled Suicide, SCP-297's vibration frequency swiftly increases to upwards of 200,000 kHz. If the upper portion of the device is touched at any solid material, SCP-297 will change frequency to one that causes a positive harmonic feedback loop in the object, causing the object to lose cohesion within 60 seconds of continual contact. This invariably kills organisms that it is exposed to. Experimentation has determined that SCP-297 can disintegrate a 1 m cube of concrete into powder within 10 seconds. The time required for other objects varies, based on the density and harmonic properties of the material. Due to the similarities between the effects of SCP-297 and SCP-1012, investigation into whether both effects of variations of the same phenomena are ongoing. Addendum, Circumstances of Retrieval SCP-297 was retrieved from the third basement of the parking structure of a 30-story apartment building in Los Angeles, California, on-off switch. According to eyewitnesses, the device bored a vertical hole through the entire building's northwestern corner, starting from the 30th floor and proceeding floor by floor through the entire structure until a maintenance worker neutralized the device by turning it off. All witnesses were detained and administered Class A amnestics, and the device was retrieved by Foundation personnel. A large quantity of organic slurry, later identified as a liquefied human body, was found on the 30th floor at the upper limit of the damage. Lesson complete.

Welcome to this video. Today, you're going to learn how to use according to and in terms of. This is a question that a student had submitted and it's a great question so I'm happy to answer it for you. Of course, I'm Jennifer from jforistenglish.com and this channel is dedicated to helping you feel confident speaking English in public so you can take your career and your life to the next level. Now before we go any further, make sure you subscribe and hit that bell icon so you're notified every time I post a new lesson. Now let's dive in with this video. Let's talk about the difference between according to and in terms of. Now these are two very nice expressions. They will help you sound advanced and fluent in English but they have completely different meanings so they're not interchangeable. Let's start with according to. According to is a preposition. To form a complete sentence, we need a noun according to and then a noun so something or someone. What does this mean? It means as stated by as stated by someone or something. So we use it to let the person know that the information that we're giving you was stated by someone else or even something else. Something else such as a document, a sign, a commercial, anything like that. For example, a company could call me and say according to our records, you have an outstanding balance with us. So here, this noun, the something is our records. Of course records, they're just files, pieces of paper in a computer system, right? So they search my name and they see I have an outstanding balance. So the person on the phone is letting me know that it's not me who's saying this, it's the file, it's the record according to our records. Another example, we could say according to doctors, we should drink eight glasses of water a day. So let's say I'm talking to a friend and I say according to doctors, you should drink eight glasses of water a day. Well, my friend will take the advice more seriously because she knows it's not coming from me. What do I know? It's coming from a doctor, which all of a sudden the advice sounds more official. So we use this a lot before we share information just so the other person knows where the information came from. Now let's talk about in terms of, in terms of is a phrase. To complete this phrase, we need one of two things, a noun or a jaren. A jaren is a verb in ING form. What does this mean? It's used to identify a specific topic or specific area of focus. For example, I could say in terms of studying abroad, London's a great choice. So now when we're having a conversation, I've given you the topic. So we know we're not talking about just general tourism, general entertainment. We're not talking about food choices or the cost of living. We're talking specifically about studying abroad. In terms of studying abroad, London's a great choice. And notice here, because I used a verb, it's in the jaren form. Now remember we can use a noun. So I could say in terms of universities, Oxford is a great choice. So now we're not talking about anything. We're talking specifically about universities. So this is a really great phrase that you can use before meetings, before you give a presentation or before you give any information to let the person know what specifically you'll be focusing on in that conversation. So now you have two great expressions in your vocabulary, according to and in terms of. Of course, it's your turn to practice. I want you to leave two examples in the comments below, one with according to and one with in terms of.

The following is a presentation of TFNN. Trade what you see with Larry Pezzavento. All toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, Larry Pezzavento. Okay, looking good, Billy Ray feeling good, Louis. I've posted the chart for the DAX and also for the footsie to take a look at. You can see that we've been in extended trading range here for quite some time. A little different than what we have here in the U.S. where stocks go up just about every day. We're going to do something a little differently today, folks. I had to do a, well, I didn't had to, but I always enjoyed doing it. I was interviewed by one of the firms out of London yesterday. And the thing that they wanted to talk about was the fact that the old floor trading days. And I didn't think they would be interested in it, but by golly, they certainly had a strong interest. Now, what I've posted into the den today is the trading cards that we used on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. And let me explain to you why I went to Chicago because I think it's relatively important. I know it looks very faint because that it's old and faded. It's 40 years old. So I'm sorry about that, but it shows you that my badge was Paz and B-19 was my member. Well, my member number was 618, but my B-19, forget what that number was for. I don't remember what it was, but anyway, that's really what it was. Okay, let me explain to you why I went to Chicago. When I was at Drexel the last years there of 81, 82, I was working very closely with John Hill on the opening price and a whole bunch of other stuff. And I would go back to Hendersonville, North Carolina, and work with John for four or five days at a time. And we were beginning to see that we were going to see these desktop computers become very, very popular. Computrack down in New Orleans was working on one with Walt Bresser and a couple of others. I think Jake Bernstein was involved, and that took off and became very, very popular. So that's how I first met Mark Douglas in 83, and we could see that these machines were going to be coming and we were going to be doing something different than calling in our orders. And so we'd be able to trade at home. Well, John always was a little skeptical because he thought the floor traders flashed the stops. And so when I got ready to take my seat at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in January of 82, one of the things that we decided to do was to check out, to make sure that your orders were really well protected when you put your orders in Chicago. And even though this is 40 years ago, folks, it's still relatively important now because even though things are a little more complicated, they're still pretty much the same. But you folks have a tremendous advantage now. You basically have a seat on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or any exchange you're ever trading if you're trading electronically because let me explain to you what it was like. Those trading cards, you had to have a stack of those every day when you went down to the Florida trade. And I traded basically the first week I traded in a pit. After that, I didn't trade anymore. The reason why is on the first day I got hit with a $3,000 out trade. In other words, a guy said he did a trade with me that he didn't do, which I knew what was happening, but I didn't know how to prevent it. So I had to go to arbitration and we had to split the difference, which was quite a bit. And then finally, on the last day of the week, in my first week, I got tagged for $6,000. But this one was a little different because the guy, it was just third offense. And basically they asked him to leave the exchange and he had to pay the difference because it was a good trade. Those were called out trades and you had to have an out trade clerk to match up the buys and sells. That's what those cards were for. The clerks would come by and pick up the cards and they would turn them into the exchange and they would match up the buyers and sellers. If you think that's not hard to do, you're in the midst of a battle and you're scribbling down, I mean, I don't know how they ever did it. There was a broker there, Ricky LaRance, Harry LaRance's younger brother. He was the greatest floor trader, floor filler of all time. He did everything by memory. He had a photographic memory. They were the exact time, the exact price of every order he did all day long. And he had hundreds of them. He was a filler in the T-bill pit. And that was the biggest pit at the time because interest rates were 12%, 13%, 14%. So after I got down to Chicago, I got my seat from Jack Waldock. I got one of his seats and then I worked. I put all my business through Lind Waldock, Barry Lind, because I had done all my meat business with Barry Lind. When I was in Beverly Hills and I had a really good relationship with him and they gave me my own clerk and her name was Jan Sklar. And she was the daughter of one of the floor traders in the hog pit, Jerry Sklar. And so everything I did was through that and so I was able to do the order. So basically when you went into the pit in the morning, now I'm new. See, so I'm the low guy on the totem pole, so I've got to be really careful. I don't know anybody back there other than a few guys that I met over the years when I went back with Drexel, maybe three or four people and those guys were in the desks upstairs. My first day there, I'm looking down from the T-bill pit. I'm standing way in the back out of everybody's way and I see this guy come in and he's wearing these old rubber galoshes and he's got this cashmere overcoat on and this fedora hat and he's really, really got some expensive clothes on and I see him go over to the Goldman Sachs desks and I'm smiling and laughing and I said, look at that, he's got this $1,000 outfit on and he's wearing galoshes and his clerk, Marianne Gordon, pointed it out that I was smiling or laughing and she took his galoshes up to the lockers and stuff and he walked over to me and he said, why are you smiling and laughing? and I said, really, it's funny, I said, you're wearing galoshes and I said, you have all this beautiful clothes on and I said, I thought it was rather comical, I certainly didn't mean anything and I apologize, he says, no, and it was Byron Tucker and he said, I'll talk to you during the break, you know, because he did take a break and he ran two desks, he ran the desks for Delcher, which was Leo Malambit and he also ran the desks for Goldman Sachs, he had a whole bunch of employees doing it and he basically was doing the Delcher desk to help out Leo Malambit so what happened was when the pit started, the brokers would come in early in the morning and they would hire a clerk to stand in the pit at their spot that they wanted to trade because it was first come, first serve, so you had to be someone in there standing and the T-Bill pit had probably 300 people in it and so there had to be, the key ones were the ones that were closest to the top step which was the lead contract, like right now it would be March and that's where the order fillers were, Rick March was one of the biggest order fillers in the T-Bill pit and he had probably five girls and he would be facing into the pit looking at the orders and the girls would be behind him with the orders, they held the desks and they would hand the orders to him and he would fill them and it was organized chaos, folks, I couldn't understand what was going on in the first few days but then after someone explained to me what was happening, it was really quite easy but the orders would come in and there would be people on the phone back about 20 or 30 feet there were also hand signaling to the girls if a big order came in and you got to understand what the hand signals were if the guy put four fingers on his top and waved it, it was for 400 and if he waved it sideways it could be 800 but if it was a really big order in thousands then that phone clerk would walk over and talk to the broker, he'd talk to Rick March and whisper in his ear that that was something big was happening, when that happened you had to be really, really careful because you didn't want to be on the wrong side of that big order so that's how that worked, I hope you're interested in this because this is how it worked but it's a lot different now, we'll be right back<PHONE_NUMBER> If you're not currently using

take a look at the Platinum chart As you can see here folks, we are very close to completing that ABCD pattern It completes around 10.36 We broke out above that double top easily and the pattern comes in at roughly I think if you look there it's around 10.36 10.38 So it did break out to the upside gold and so we're still lagging a little bit but it still looks OK I want to continue on about the order flows and stuff like that and I want to tell you a few stories that I learned My main reason for going there to the exchange was to see that these stops were really protected I found that out during the very first week I saw that these decks were very tightly held and they were called Million Dollar Decks they were called Million Dollar Brokers Million Dollar a year filling paper They got paid $2 for every contract that they filled So if it was a 400 lot order he made $800 on that contract That was $2 in, $2 out I was a $2 broker because I handed my orders into the pit I actually did not go into the pit after the first week because of those outtrades All I had to do was just hand my broker directly to Mark He could fill it and I could get it right back I had a total cost in of $2 Total cost out $2 and no out trade problems and that was the main thing that I was worried about was these outtrades because those were the ones that could have had some thieves down there and you had to be really, really careful Back in 1996, 1997 I think his name was Harry Houtkin became one of the source bandits and those are the ones that forced the NASDAQ to go to a decimal system instead of being quarter, half, quarter, half quarter, half on the stocks on the decimal system and that made the price of the executions drop exponentially Instead of paying a quarter to get in, which was 25 cents, they were trading for 3 and 4 cents and that continued on until they forced the stock exchange to do it and the New York Stock Exchange and that changed all the trading and then of course the internet came in and we got the phones coming in and all this stuff but the orders were still protected because everybody has pretty much their own exceed on the exchange all you have to do is just to monitor where the bids and offers are and what the spreads are that's the main thing the reason why I went to Chicago as I mentioned was that was the main reason to see if that was fair it was about the third week I think it was in January I was there and Jan Sklar was my clerk as I mentioned before the yearly supply it comes out every January for cattle and it was so bullish that they said cattle would be up to limit 3 or 4 days in a row and I had shorted 2 contracts of pork bellies and I really thought I was going to get killed so I went over to Jan and she knew the girl that held the deck for Marty Zeitman who ran the lead filler for February bellies and so I asked Jan I said see if you can get this on top of the deck so maybe I can get out with one limit so she walked over and was talking to the clerk and then the clerk was talking to Marty and then he talked to Jan and she walked over to me she said he wants to talk to you and when she said that I knew I was in big trouble because I was jumping over some strong rules there so I just said okay they're probably going to throw me off that's it, what can I do so I walked over and I apologized immediately and I said I'm sorry for doing this I've only been down here a week and I don't understand everything that's going on he said so pork bellies are going to be up the limit and I said well cattle are going to be up the limit 3 or 4 days I figured pork bellies are going to be up or pork bellies are going to be up the limit kid and I said well I don't know and so he had his deck and he opened his deck and the very first order was to sell 2,000 February pork bellies at the market this is when bellies traded big numbers and he closed the thing up and he said just go back over to those financial markets and trade with those animals and leave us over here to take care of our own business and cattle opened up about 10 cents and were immediately limit down to trade for 2 days they went limit down 2 days in a row so it was the only time I ever saw a deck in the 2 and a half years I was there on the floor that was the main thing that I thought you'd like to remember one of the best stories that I have that I remember very vividly was back in late I think it was August 31st of 1983 I like to trade gold because gold had calmed down and it was trading like a 5 or 6 dollar range and it was really quiet in there compared to the T-bill pit and I would go into the gold pit because I knew all the gold people in there they were all pretty straight shooters so I could fill my own paper and I do a couple contracts here and there and I'm in there and it was a little not very busy but this one broker Richie Singer kept getting right in my face I was trying to buy a 2 lot he was trying to sell me a 10 lot I only wanted to buy a 2 lot and finally I just I gave in and I just took the 2 lot or the 10 lot and said take them and so I got it I walked out of the pit I was really angry with myself so I walked back to the Lynn Waldoch desk and it was way on the other side because the gold pit was over in the financial Lynn Waldoch was over in the meets it was probably 150 to 200 feet I was skinny at that time so I could make it quickly so I was walking over there I got to the to the Lynn Waldoch thing I gave the order to Richie and I said Richie I said take this in and just get me out of the market I said I made a mistake and so he said okay so he starts walking and he hasn't walked 10 feet from the Lynn Waldoch desk and the exchange exploded I mean it just went crazy I mean it was it was really we had an S&P pit but there was nobody in it they weren't even trading the S&P it was like 102-103 something like that but everything went nuts what happened was a Russian airliner Russian rocket one of these fighters had shot down Korean Airlines 007 was the flight number and gold spiked and I got out of that gold oh my gosh I had no I had no control because by the time of Richie got there you know it was so crowded I couldn't do anything but time Richie got there I got out about $14 higher and then I got in it which was really really great and what happened was at the end of the day I went over to the little Catholic Church on the way home from the work I lived at McClure Court over on the lake and I would walk over to Lake Michigan and it was only about a mile and a half and I would stop at this little church light a candle and stuff for the people that had died I'm coming out of the church and there's this couple there speaking to the priest and they're both crying you know just really really just everything you know and I asked the priest I said what's going on so these people were having some trouble he said someone stolen their stuff and they didn't have any money to get home and so I was able to able to get them home in comfort so I was did a little something in good deed that day but when I went back in the pit later on when things calmed down I walked

Think or Swim banner on the front page of tfnn.com okay we're back folks and one of the folks here tfnn put a question into the cards ever get mixed up to buy sell the sell was in red the buy was in blue yes but they did they sometimes had to turn the wrong way that's what the Outrade clerk's job was to sort that all out Byron used an Outrade clerk Rich and he was the number one guy down there he was indisputable he knew where everything was and it was much easier when you had somebody like that on your team to be able to do that than if you didn't so that's just neither here nor there sometime down in the future I'll probably bring some more stories there's a lot of them there's a couple of them that are pretty interesting standing in the backside of the T-bill pit and he was kind of offended by one of the best traders down there Herschel Herendorf he was really an amazing man he died just a few years ago but he made millions of dollars in the T-bills and other things too but he got tired of trading and he quit trading in 86 or 87 I believe and went in and bought a bunch of other business he bought a jet service and a whole bunch of other stuff and he was respected by everyone and for some reason I know what the reason was we were chatting back there one day and I asked him a little bit about his family he was from Israel and he had a mother who was sick and she was and she had to take pork insulin and of course I worked for Eli Lilly and he was saying they were having a hard time getting it sometimes it was difficult because it was different than the beef insulin so I made a call to the medical department to Dr. Griffith who I worked with for about seven years and I asked him if he could set up something for me and he was able to contact her physician and she got a lifetime supply of that stuff which was really good and from then on Herschel became my friend and he and his brother I got to know them relatively well and so he was a big help if I ever had any trouble if I didn't have to go to Byron I could go to Herschel and that made things a whole lot better for me so that's some of the things that I did one of my most another memorable experience was there's several families that were down there folks that they were third generation traders down there and for right now I just can't think of the name but I'll think of it in just a second but there was a little the young fellow had just graduated from the University of Chicago and he was down there trading with his brothers I'm trying to think of the name I'll remember and he was in the T-bill pit and his dad said to him he said you got a mistake here he said go in and correct that mistake and so he went into the pit and he came back out and he showed his dad the card he said you doubled up he said what's the matter with you he said you did the exact opposite of what I told you to do you've increased your risk and everything he said but dad I know it's gonna change I know it's gonna change and he reached around and grabbed the kid's badge and ripped his badge off his jacket off of his trading jacket and told him to get off the floor until he learned to what was what was going on he did one other thing that was really amazing and that was he reached into the kid's pocket and grabbed his money his money clip and he threw the money out into the pit which is that's an automatic fine of a couple hundred bucks and he was trying to tell him if you're gonna throw your money away throw your own money away you're not gonna throw my money away and so the kid out and he was all shook up and Herschel said to the guy guys I can't remember his name I can see his face and he said God you're kind of hard on a kid aren't you and he said Herschel he said if I don't tell him how to do it the right way he's never ever gonna do it the right way so he's got to learn the hard way and that was a hard lesson that you're gonna do the right thing do it right because if you added to the losing position which what he was what he did that was a number one rule in that family that you didn't want to didn't want to mess with it so anyway let's get back to the markets here we got up to 1026 in the platinum backed off just a tiny bit not too much is going on there we've got a couple of markets that are very interesting folks take a look here at the and we got the trade thing going with the Chinese today which will be interesting but take a look here at the March week you'll notice we had a double bottom down here between May and September September now we have a potential of a double top up in here that double top comes in at 574 the high last night was 574 and a half it's trading around 572 right now so if it backs off from here this could be a double top formation you can see the three drive to a top pattern over the past two weeks that I drove in right at the 1.618 expansion so anything above 577 and 578 we'll tell you that this market is breaking out to the upside so that's the main thing that you want to keep in mind as you're watching these things move through the the day okay let's take a quick look at see how we're always having our little rally we got the stocks meeting the rally 10 points right after they opened up we've got the NASDAQ it rallied quickly 30 points like it does because it looks like the stocks are going to go up absolutely forever and this astrology thing this is the last day for it folks if we make new highs today then that aspect that I've been watching will have not worked this time and that means that well it does mean a lot but it does mean that it's not working this time and that's pretty important because those other times it certainly had some really serious things going on with it but that's neither there I see price objectives now for Tesla and if you recall we posted that chart for Tesla it did hit the 1.618 expansion yesterday at 450 I think 52 something like that is what it did and there's now Apple the price objectives on Apple are 600 and a thousand dollars I heard on Bloomberg yesterday and Apple will be the first billion dollar company sometime in early 2020 or 2021 2021 so that's good news for all those that are holding Apple so we'll move on here to the next one here is the one of these things that we did get from that are being posted out on the internet the fact that the stocks will never go down that it's breaking out of up-turn channels and things like that and it's certainly good because we have been doing that but let's keep in mind that whenever things go up they have a tendency to sometimes back off and go down but that's not this time but we'll see what's happened let's take a quick look at the Bitcoin we've had a nice buy in that bit well not a buy I didn't buy it down there Tom Hougar did but I didn't down there at that 6400 level which was the 61% retracement on the long-term daily chart and it was also on a log chart it was a 382 retracement coming off of $100 a share so we've popped up here the last couple days we've jumped another 660 points to get up to the 61% retracement off of the October high which is going to give us a little bit of a back off but right now this cryptocurrency is going to be moving I would well we got this is the first break already shut the front door and raise the rent we get back I want to talk to you about quantum computing I think this is something that we all have to pay attention to because it's going to be a big thing in the future it's in fact it's already in the future because China's already got a quantum computing thing going and we're trying to catch up with them we'll chat with that about just a little bit I imagine David David White probably knows more about this he's forgot more about this than I know we probably should but I'll give you my two cents worth anyway and we'll see how things are moving here so that's what we're watching<PHONE_NUMBER> if you're in the cd market and

interesting chart here in the soybean market this happens to be the chart for marked soybeans remember now we have this Chinese thing is going to be signed right now I believe they're signing the deal right now at 9 30 in the morning no it's 11 30, 11 30 New York time but look at soybeans here folks you notice how it went sideways here for the last 8 or 9 days look what happened back in October when it did that you see how it went sideways for 8 or 9 days and then it broke to the downside watch which direction this thing breaks from because this means there's a great deal there's been a great deal of accumulation and distribution in these 10 days that's what that means when you're looking at this so whichever direction it comes out of that's the direction it's going to go much like we did in late October so pay very close attention to that if you go over to the far left of the chart and look in June we did almost the same thing in June so there's a lot of there's a lot of people taking positions on both sides so the winner will be which way it comes out of here and that's really what you want to be keeping an eye on so we'll watch it as closely as we can so believe yes you're right Bill Tom O'Brien was one of those so-spendets as I recall and it was an interesting time that's for sure that led to the dot com bubble in 2000 which the NASDAQ gave back 85% and then in 2008 it gave back I think 80 or 90% of course this time it won't give back 1 tenth of 1% because it's so very very bullish but we'll see what happens over this time period just the next someone asked what the next big configuration is for cycle stuff and that comes in I'll post this up to you you'll be able to see it this is the spring equinox on March 20th March 21st is the spring equinox for the 20th you can see that a lot of cycles are going to be lining up around that time too but if this one doesn't work it probably won't mean very much but we'll pay very close attention to it let's remember the Euro folks because we've been messing around here up in this 111, 112 and change here and that's a very very important number we've been talking about that for several days here because of the fact that we've completed that big ABCD here and that certainly means something and we've had a little bit of a rally and whether it's going to be enough to turn it because all of these currencies folks have had major completions in these things and it's going to be interesting to see if that's going to be the case and one of the ones that we're watching very very closely of course is related to the FTSE and the Megan exit now we've got Megxit along with Brexit and hold on here let's get up here hats on we've got the $29,000 in the Dow again one more time next stop $100,000 I saw that as one of the targets I don't know if that came from a tweet from somebody but I did see that on Bloomberg but I did see a price target of $900 in Apple making it the first $2 trillion country company all it has to do to get to $2 trillion is to get to $600 a share and with the earnings coming up in about a week they'll probably tag on about $80 to it during that time so we'll be watching it very very closely just see what happens as we move through here looking at some of these other charts that we're watching alright one other question someone asked a question about the seats back in back in 1982 the seats for the I had an IMM seat which was a mini seat the CME seats cost a quarter of a million dollars the IMM which were all the financials that was all the currencies and T-bills and Jenny Mays and Gold and all that stuff that seat was $109,000 and I've got mine from Jack Waldock if I had just kept that seat it would be worth a little over $4.5 million today and so you would have got which were a lot okay let's move on to one other one that I wanted to mention to you and that is this someone asked a question yesterday and I wanted to try to answer it here today this is the British pound this is an hourly chart folks I don't mark the 61% retracement except for the one that came in yesterday you'll notice that these black lines that you see here folks those are the harmonic numbers in the British pound right now it's running just at about around 80 points so it rallies 80 points and drops, rallies 80 points I'll let your imagination point out the ABCD patterns as you see but that's mainly what we're watching but today is the first day that it's different today's the first day that that number of 129.90 has actually held so that could mean that this thing could be ready to turn the other way so we'll be able to see thanks a lot Marshall you're a little late with that information but I still certainly do appreciate it okay I have another question here that we want to talk about and that is the US dollar index someone's asked about that we've talked about that before and you'll notice that we have started to we went up to that 382 level and we need to get that dollar index above that 97.50 level and I think it's going to do it I don't know if we've done it yet or not because the euro has had a little bit of a rally today the pound certainly hasn't and the Australian dollar hasn't but that's pretty much what we're keeping an eye on as we look at some of these patterns right here because the US dollar turns down and the euro turns up sharply that's going to tell us that something is different, something is actually changing now remember the Chinese yen went just a tiny bit above that level that we were talking about remember that's the one that is the risk reverse one let's get that up so you can take a look at it we did get well this is the opposite of it so you're going to see the mirror image of it but when we went below that 91.20 that's equivalent to the 110 because you add the two together that's where you get your dollar yen trade so we did take that out but we didn't go anywhere we took it out and it didn't explode to the other side so there might be no one has there is absolutely zero fear in the market folks and there should be because it goes up every single day but when that fear does come in and when it does come in it's going to be a lot different than some people think so we'll pay close attention to it so that's the main thing the gold some has asked a question about the gold if the gold can close above that 1565 we're trading in 1552 right now if we can get about 1565 then I think we've got a chance here in that gold market to go a lot higher we're already seeing it in platinum we're not seeing it in silver we're not seeing it in gold but we are seeing it in platinum the key level of course was that 1611 that was the 1.6 excuse me the 61% retracement of the high from August of 2011 and that that's very very important that's you know that's really extremely important someone's asked to me to go over that astrology stuff again I don't want to do it all I can tell you is folks there's a lot of things that were happening whether they mean anything or not I don't know but that's that's neither here nor there so we'll watch it we'll see what's going on I should well and I don't have the time to do that right now because we've got the end of the show coming up already but that's major oh by the way just for a point a little factoid here Dr. Miller died on January the 8th that happened to be the same day that her son died 12 years ago he died of a heart attack and that's pretty much what it's very sad we can talk about coincidences my goodness what a great lady 877 also Jeannie Long

gold hit the 78% level of that high of yesterday folks at 15 57 we're now trading at 1550 gold looks various folks you know that with that big 61% retracement there you know that's really going to be really be interesting to see what happens by the way the open interest in the E-mini yesterday S&P actually dropped during the making new highs and we're almost making new highs again too we had a drop in NASDAQ and also a drop in the Russell but the Dow Jones which is the smallest of the four indices had a very slight increase in the market so that's what we're paying attention here so far today so we'll pay close attention to that as we move through the day alright regarding that wheat folks I was talking about a possible double top in the wheat up there at that 575 level we sold off about a nickel from that level that 575 and with that thing being signed today at 1130 anything could happen they could walk out and say forget it you just don't know what's going to happen to politics these days so pay attention folks you got to put your stops in in these markets especially now because we're going to see volatility in 2020 like we've never seen before that's why this volatility index it should be trading at about three given the fact where the market is but just trading at around 12 so we're going to be taking protection somewhere I don't know who it is but somebody must be so let's pay a little bit of attention to that and see if that's going to mean anything down the road so we'll pay attention to that as we as we look at some of these things unfold for the day so we're coming to the end of the road here and we'll see you folks tomorrow no more guests this week but next week we're going to have somebody special on the currency pits for the Swiss franc for many years and he retired from trading a few years ago to do something else and I'm trying to get him on the line to be our guest I know he likes to talk so that would be great if we could get him telling some of the stories that we had I hope you enjoyed the part about the little floor days not many people around remember about what it was like but it was pretty tough<PHONE_NUMBER>
