We're going to go over some charts today, folks. And I can say without any hesitation at all that these are the most important charts that I've ever posted here at TFNN with the exception of March the 5th of 2009. The first chart that you're going to be looking at today is the NASDAQ going back to the high that we made back in December. It topped in December. The Dow Jones S&P Russell topped in December also, but the others stopped on January 4th. Okay, now what we've done now is we've come down for just about 11 months and we've rallied four months into a 382 retracement that we've just hit the second time. Just now, you see it right there on the NASDAQ. Remember, this let us down and this is what we're looking at right now. It's already 200 handles under that price already as we come into Fedtime. I tried to send these out by my usual method of videos and I was shut down by Google today because they wanted some extra money for some terabytes, whatever that stuff means. It hasn't been corrected yet. You're going to get this thing late, but it was done very, very early in the morning and I want to walk through what I was looking at so you'll be able to see the importance of the day that we're looking at right now. The first thing we're going to do is we're going to go down and just take a look here at the price level here that we're going to be watching here in the S&P. Let me get this up here so that you'll all be able to see it. All I did is this is the E-mini S&P and I just broke it down to the last 10 days so you can see the importance of what we're looking at here and then we'll go through one chart at a time. You can see the ABCD structure. There's your 61% retracement of the February high right up here at 4068, but you can see here we've actually made the first ABCD already right here. That was at 4048. That's where the next one came in. So you have two numbers sitting there. There's a chance we might make that 4068 with the Fed out there and I certainly would be looking at that and there's a chance maybe we get up to here. All I know is folks, we're in an area now that's going to be very, very interesting. We'll probably talk about this in the history book someday. Now let's take a look at a couple others here. So now what I'm going to be doing now is I'm going to show you the Dow Jones E-mini and this is going to go back to the high that the Dow Jones made. Let's get this up here so you'll be able to see it. You'll see there is where we were way back here in April. If you remember that. April, May, March. No, that was February. That was your February 6th high. Now what you've done is you've made a 382 retracement of the high we made two months back on February 6th and we hit it one, two, three, four times in the last few trading days. This is a four-hour chart. We're already down 200 points from that. The actual number if you did the daily came in at 28. Let's try it again, Larry. I think it's 3285, whatever it was, it was the exact number. Yeah, it was 32850 was the exact number. The high today was 32845. Okay, the next one we're going to take a look at here is just bear with me one second. And this one here, we've just looked at that one. Give me one other second here and we'll get the other one up here. And here is the NASDAQ on a shorter term basis. I want to get this, this actually a longer term basis. Sorry, give me a second. This is why this is so important, folks, because this led us up and I think it's going to lead us down, like they say, some days it's chicken salad and some days it's something else. There's what you're looking at, folks. This is a weekly chart. You came down for 11 months, you've been up for four and you stopped at the 382 twice once on the February the 6th and we just hit it again today. We matched that high within four points, folks. And we're already 200 handles below it. Okay, so I probably don't mean anything, but we're just going to be looking at some of these things because maybe I sent this video out but unfortunately you didn't get it and that's my problem. Okay, now here is the Russell. I want to just give you the Russell and bring this up and Stan Harley will be our guest here at the break and always bring some nice stuff to us. You see, yesterday the Russell made a 382 retracement of that high we made on February 6th. That was yesterday. It's been down all the day. It couldn't even take out yesterday's high. They're expecting the Federal Reserve to raise rates by a quarter percent. If they raise rates by zero or cut rates, oh my God, don't buy that rally because if they do that, the Fed is saying, uh-oh, we done made a mistake and we got to correct that puppy. So I don't know what's going to happen, but if they raise it a half a point, I don't think it's going to make much difference any there. I think we got a caller. Somebody got through on the line today. This would be wonderful. Let's see who this is. I hear the dialing tone and it's Tony from St. Louis.  What can I do for you, Tony? Hey, Larry. It's a real pleasure to talk to you. I hear you talk about the Floor Traders Handbook a lot, and I was just wondering where I can purchase that book at because when I look it up on Amazon, I can find the Floor Traders Confidential Handbook by George Hansel. Is that the book you're referring to? This is just deal me at Larry at tradingtutor.com. The reason why, Tony, it's a 90-page PDF and has a 90-minute video describing the ABCD patterns, why they work, and we used, I think we used 30,000 examples to get the statistics right, only using the euro to prove that the ABCD works and the statistics behind what we do here with the Fibonacci numbers and standard deviations. It all fits together, but it takes 90 minutes, and it's a professionally done video by John Jamison, who that's his business, and he did it for us, and that's why that's what it is. But if you'd drop me at Larry at tradingtutor.com, I'll tell you how to do it. It's real simple, and I know you're going to like it, so I appreciate it. Tony, please tell the people this is not a set-up call. I would never do anything like that. No, I'm glad you're not. I watch your show every day, and you talk about it every day, and I figure it must be pretty important, so... Today's is the most important day since May the 5th, or March the 5th of 2009, in my opinion. So we'll see. I agree. We'll see what happens in a few hours here and for an hour. Indeed, we will. Indeed, we will. All right, we'll have a great day, Larry. Thank you very much. The Italian section here in St. Louis is just still thriving.  Well, I actually live about an hour south of it, so I'm not super familiar with it. I'm actually from Chicago, but it made me, yeah. Well, thank you for calling in. Buy a lottery ticket. I don't know how you got through. You were one of the lucky ones. All right, thank you, Larry. Have a good one. All right. We'll be right back, folks.<PHONE_NUMBER>.

I'm just giving it to you for historical purposes. That's great, basically. There's where we were here. This is an hourly chart on the Hello Operator. I'm a little bit tired. We had a 382 retracement right here. If you remember, that led to the big ABCD up here. There's our 382 on the way down. Excuse me, 61% retracement of this move right here. I'll do the rest of it, but that number came in at... Let me see, 1938. And the low was 19... No, 1937. The low was 193610. So there's a perfect example that that stuff... Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That one just didn't work. Now, let's take a look at the other one on the little bit longer time frame. Remember, we had this beautiful trade that we had on the other day, one of the few that we had that worked out. Let's get this up here, put it in here. This shows you the ABCD pattern here. We were looking, of course, at the hourly chart. I don't know if this was just a 15-minute chart because we were trying to nail that high. We had the 382 rally back. We hit it twice. And we hit the Dow Jones here four times. I don't know if it means much, but there's your ABCD down. And we went a little bit below that. And the reason why we did... I'm going to bring this next one to you also. Where is it, you little rascal? And there you are. I think this is it. Okey-dokey. Let's get it right up here. Here's the long-term weekly. And there's a tiny bit of variance because of the... I think the rollover between the April and June is June's lead contract now. But there, you can see the old high that we had right back here for the breakout. Remember this one right here? That was the big breakout. And then we went up here. And 382 on his whole move from down in here comes in here at 1939. But again, it went to 1936.9. So you missed that. So there's another one. It didn't work. But you know, we'll just give it to you for a little flavor of sometimes when they don't work, you got to know when they do work. The one thing I feel very strongly about is this. This is where we were in March the 5th of 2009. And for reasons I can't go into, I'm going to tell you that this three-drive to a bottom pattern, where we are, this was stocks Dow Jones 666, okay? And guess what, folks? That was a bottom.  Well, it went from there all the way to 40,000. But we are over this kind of time frame right now. Everything lines up.  I mean, I don't know what's going to happen. You know, who knows what's going to happen next. All I do know is that keeping eye on the bank stocks, because if the bank stocks can't rally during this, God help us when they start to sell off again. And that's what my biggest fear is. And hopefully all of these are going to fail so we don't have to worry about that. So that's the main thing we want to pay very, very close attention to. Now remember here, we brought this volatility of the bonds here from our good friend JC Parrots, one Carlos Parrots, all star charts. I want to bring this up to show you that this is just the beginning of something that I think will be historic. It hasn't even been historic yet. Well, it is for companies like Silicon Bank and some of the others. Okay. That's pretty much it. All right. There's where we are. This is where we were a long time ago, of course. And I think we'll exceed that eventually. But there's more volatility to come. So all I can say is today is the day. I know nothing about the astrology or none of that. I mean, I know tiny bit enough to get me into trouble. But that's neither here nor there. Also, I wanted to bring one other one to it because we hit the exact 382 today in the Bitcoin at 28,400, I believe, was it? I don't know where the trading was but I think that number, it hit 28,000 times 22,282 and then 28,400. I don't know where... Can someone alert me to where Bitcoin is trading now because I don't want to make any more... Because if it's up like 29,000, then maybe this is... And I don't trade it, folks. I'm just looking at things that tell me that, hey, look, I just patterns ABCD. There's no Elliott Wave in here. I don't do Elliott Wave counts. I'm just something that I can't do. But let's talk about money, all right? Here is what we want to be looking at and this is from yesterday, okay? That's when I had some email running and we'll get this up here and take a look at it. This is the U.S. Dollar Index. Okay, now this is short term because we're going to be looking at it, you know, some where we were back here. You see? This is daily. This is February. Here we are in March. That's today. Today we made a slightly lower yet, lower than yesterday and it was exactly at that number right there, 102 55. So now we've got the Federal Reserve in here and we're going to find out what they're going to be doing here in just about an hour or so from where we are. So that's what I'm looking at ahead of time and I'm sure they're going to come in and have a lot of fun with it and we'll see what's going to go on. There's a lot of news about Credit Swiss and all these things. You hear 25 different opinions of everybody, you know? Oh, we're going to get a free trip today, folks. We are going to go over to the UK and we're going to take a look at the FTSE for one of our friends over there, Nigel Terry and his lovely family. Let's get this up here. You'll see it. There's where we are. We had these beautiful move down. You see they're perfectly symmetrical and now we rallied up into the 382 level here in the FTSE. Now FTSE is a index traded at the UK but the problem is it's just all foreign stocks in it. There's no UK stocks in there. So that's part of the reasoning behind it. Okay, now the secret to... Not there's no secret. The key, in my opinion, is what we have going here is something like this. This happened to be a very large bank, signature bank in New York. Everybody's been bailed out so you don't have to worry about that. Even though Janet Yellen said, we know more bailouts. Well, that's what the Federal Reserve has been doing. Well, the history is going to be writing about this for some time to come. But you can see this stock had been in a downtrend for well over a year, folks. I mean, they had so many 382 retracements here. And then, of course, they finally said, there's a problem. The problem is we don't know how big the problem is because what they're telling us is probably not the truth, just like they do with wars and all the other stuff. And I'll probably be banned forever just from me saying that, but that's the way the news is, folks.  Okay, now I want to do one other one that I think is important because Jim Bartolioni will be our guest here on... Hold on here just a second. If I can find a doggone thing. And I think it's this one right here. Nope, that's not that one. Well, basically, Jim will be on talking to us about the potential move we have coming in the natural gas. And then he's also going to be talking to us about what he talked to us about three weeks ago alerting to the fact that the banking index was going to go down big time because we had that beautiful garly at the 382 and that one worked relatively well. Now, we're going to have Stan Harley coming up and he's always given us some, you know, really great things to look at. And then tomorrow we will have Shane Smollion and on Friday Jim Bartolioni will be right back, boys and girls.

Hey, folks, I want you to listen to me here from the old cowboy here in Tucson, Arizona. I'm about as much as a cowboy is as Dustin Hoffman was in the midnight cowboy. But you have on the line here today, Stan Harley, that's going to give you an explanation of what left translation means and it is really important. The only other person that I know that can do this is Peter E. Lighties and he doesn't like to share that kind of stuff. So this is really important, Stan. So explain to them what the left translation is because it's really important. Absolutely, Larry. What I thought I'd do is go through some of the things that I look at with respect to the markets and the structure that can tell us quite a bit. This is a concept I've discussed with you on the air and I certainly talked about it a lot in my own work. It was first brought to my attention about more than 30 years ago by the late Walter Breser. I've studied the phenomenon and it's a very, very valid pattern. Basically, it's this, and this is a chart right out of his book over here on the left, The Power of Oscillator Cycle Combinations that he published back in January 1991. And what he noted was that in the idealized cycle, it's not a sinusoidal function like we see in nature. Imagine you have a trough-to-trough scenario in the engineering world. The crest of that cycle occurs to the right at the midpoint. However, in the financial world, that's not the case. What tends to happen is we see the crest of the cycle occur either to the right or the left at the midpoint. And in a rising market environment, the crest, or the high point of the cycle, tends to lean to the right, as you can see from that chart on the left. In a declining market environment, you still get the same little ocyclical schedule, or it can contract and expand, but the important point is to note where the crest has occurred. And if the crest occurs to the left of the midpoint, then you have what's called left translation with lower crests and lower troughs. And that's indicative of a declining market. Sometimes you get centered translation, and that happens when you're going from, say, a bullish environment to a bearish environment. The translation will shift towards the middle, and then it shifts to the left. Well, we have all the above in the next few charts. Let's start off by taking a look at the stock market. A lot of technicians, I think, make a big mistake here. They look exclusively at one index, and most of them tend to look at the S&P 500. That is certainly the broadest measure of market activity by most, not the broadest, but it's certainly the one that's the most common. It's the 500 largest stocks, and the New York Stock Exchange. The futures, S&P 500 futures, of course, are indexed based on the S&P 500 cash index, and most money managers follow the S&P and peg their performance to that. But there are actually four other indices that I think are equally important, and you and I and everyone else there as market technicians should be tracking all five of these together to look for either confirmations of the trend or divergences, which typically popped up at reversal points. For me, the big five are, as I show here on the chart, the Dow industrial, the S&P 500, the NASDAQ composite, the New York composite, and last but certainly not least, the Dow transports. I look at all five of those. Well, let's take a look at some charts of each of them. The first one is a chart of the S&P 500, and I ran this off a little over an hour ago. This goes back about a year's time, and where I have put the red arrows at the bottom reflect a cyclical parameter that I have tracked for many, many years. I wrote an article about it in the magazine for the foundation of the study of cycles. I call it the primary weekly cycle. There's a primary weekly cycle. There's a primary monthly cycle. There's a primary daily cycle on the weekly charts. The primary weekly cycle is about 34 weeks, eight months. Both of those are Fibonacci numbers. Surprise, surprise. It's about 169 trading days. And that cycle, like all cycles, it contracts and expands. If one looks at a sufficiently large enough sample size and does the analysis, one will find nominally it's right at 34 weeks. Each of these 34-week cycles tends to have four, typically four, sub-cycles embedded within it. I call these the trading cycle. And I've marked these one, two, three, four, as you can see. Now, in the first trading cycle from the October bottom of last year, the trading day count on the S&P chart from low to low was 49 trading days. And take note of where the crest occurred on December the 13th. It was to the right of the center of that cycle. In other words, right translation. Fast forward to the second trading cycle, which just culminated a few days ago, last week. That was 53 trading days, trough to trough. The crest occurred on February the 2nd, and it was just one day to the right of being exactly in the midpoint, but we'll mark it right translation. And then we've got two more trading cycles to go. All right, let's look at another chart. File that one away for the moment. Here's a chart of the industrial's. Very, very similar, but the highs and the lows did not come in at exactly the same dates as the S&P. Close, but not exactly the same. And that's important to take note of. The first trading cycle from the October of last, low of last year, 49 trading days, trough to trough. The high occurred on December the 13th, right translation. Second cycle from mid-December to the low that occurred on the 15th of March. That was 55 trading days, and the high of the cycle occurred to the left of the midpoint for the Dow chart. So that was left translation. Let's look at another component of the Big Five. The New York Composite Index. First trading cycle from the October low, 46 trading days. The high occurred just a smidgy-widgy to the right, right translation. Second trading cycle, low to low, 58 trading days. The high occurred right exactly at the midpoint. So we're going to call that one center translation. The last one was right, now it's shifting left. Is there a message here? Well, you bet there is. What I've done here is I've summarized all five components. The S&P 500 and the most recent trading cycle had right translation. The Dow had left translation. The NASDAQ had left translation. New York Composite Center, Dow Jones Transports left. You don't need a calculator to do the average. You could do that with the Mark 1A eyeball. Clearly, left translation in the most recent trading cycle. Left translation is indicative of lower prices yet to come. Wow, that's very good. Folks, you know, I have stand on here at least every couple of weeks, but I understand the importance of what you're talking about, Stan, because I started at the beginning just like you did when Hearst came out with this stuff, and then Wald-Bresser expanded on left translation and right translation. But this is so important. I hope people really appreciate what you're telling them here because you're not going to find this on Elliott Wave or anything like that. I mean, this is the real text of how a market turns. In bear markets, they translate to the left. In bull markets, they transfer to the right. And we've been in a bull market since, you know, March the 5th of 2009. And of course we turn various in January the 4th. So that's why these things are important right now. Hey, we've got to take a break. Stan, please stay with us. And Stan, would you be able to do another segment an hour from now, because I'm setting in for one of our good friends, David White. I'd be delighted. We've got a couple more charts after the break, and then if you want later in the day, absolutely. That's great. Wonderful. We'll be right back.

Okay, we're back with Stan Harley, a market letter and Stan, I have to Stan correct it here because I've been looking to left translation, right translation as long as you have and for some reason, Jim Hurst was my customer when I was at Drexel. He only did like three trades in four years but they worked. I always assumed that it was he that did that but it was actually you were right, it was Walt Bresser. The reason why I'm here in Tucson was because of Walt Bresser. He and his lovely family lived here and Roman and his widow are still living here and I'll be dogged on. If I went and looked at the Hurst book because I keep it here on my desk and I thought, but what am I thinking about this? Then I realized it was Walt Bresser that taught me the left translation, the right translation. It wasn't Jim Hurst. Anyway, I'll let you go ahead and go on and you'll hear more of it. Go ahead please. To the profit magic of stock transaction by Jim Hurst, that's it right there on my bookshelf. I keep it on my desk, yeah. Hurst said nothing about right and left translation. He did not, you're right. Other than Brezert and then myself kind of reinforcing it but to my knowledge he was the first to recognize it and it's indeed a very valid concept. Sure is. We've got a lot of volatility potentially coming up here in the next half hour. It's going to be exciting and I suspect it'll all flush out. Maybe we may get a head fake in the wrong direction. The short-term trend though I believe is probably higher for about another week and maybe into the end of next week. We'll see. But the indications of left translation in the prior trading cycle runs out of juice it's probably going to head lower into mid-June. Having said that I heard you talking about 2009 about an hour ago. I actually have a different take on the stock market kind of a parallel. I think it looks more like 2002, 2003. Back then the benchmark averages made a low on October the 10th 2002 exactly 20 years almost to the day to the low we saw in 2022. Then the market made a 34 contracted 34 week cycle bottom in March of 2003 and came down and tested the October lows. Some stocks went lower, some did not. And I think the parallels are uncanny. The trading cycle pattern back then the trading cycle pattern now looks remarkably similar. That cycle contracted a little bit but take a look at 2002, 2003 from October 10th to 2002 to I believe it was March 12th, 2003 very, very similar environment. Take those trading cycles and multiply by 1.618 and they kind of look like what's happening today. Let's take a look at the gold now. Let's look at the gold here. I'm looking at some spots because I've got a bright light staring at me. There we go. Now I've got it on my screen. Here is a monthly chart of gold traded on the COMEX in New York and going back many, many years one can see the dominant troughs occurred about every 94 months. In fact, there's a very clear cycle of 94 months plus or minus about 8 and we had a low in March of 76 we had a low in February of 85, March of 93 that one of April 2001 I think I heard you talking about yesterday that you exploited and then the last one was December 2015 and the next one is due in the latter part of next year. All right, let's see if we can home this down a little bit. In the next chart what I've done is I've taken a weekly snapshot of gold over the last few years and over on the left we've got the all-time high which occurred in the summer of 2020 and then the big reversal that occurred on Monday of this week what is interesting Larry is I lay my Fibonacci eyes on top of the weekly chart I see a very clear .146 .236 .382 Fibonacci ratio emanating from the all-time high in 2020 I mean it lines up beautifully and then when I carry that forward in time why it lines up in late 2024 which oh by the way is exactly when that 94 month cycle a trough is due to reoccur so I think we probably put an important high in gold remains to be seen of course but it kind of looks like we've seen that and I think we're going to stair step our way not straight down of course but stair step our way lower into the latter part of next year to make the next 94 month cycle low. Oh wow this is really really great I have one other question I know you do you do work on treasury bonds don't you stand because I I do I didn't bring any charts well I know that I just wanted to chat with you what what is your opinion of the treasury bonds in here you know with the Fed coming out here and about another 10 when it's the announcement at 11 o'clock and then he talks at the top of the hour yes okay well it's 12 minutes from now so to be a little too late to do anything but what's your feeling on the direction of bonds that we're watching I think bonds have seen their high I've got data going back several hundred years and gold but treasury bonds interest rates have clear made clear evidence of the cycle spanning 40 years every 40 plus and minus about plus and minus about two years interest rates slash bonds tend to make a major pivotal turn and the last occurrence of that was in October of 81 before that was summer of 1940 for that summer of 1900 before that 1860 every 40 years and so you take October 81 you had 40 years to it and you get the latter part of 2021 we had a major reversal in 2020 within one year close enough for government work as they say so I think the trend in interest rates is higher and the trend in treasury bonds is lower not just for years probably for decades the last series of these 40 year cycles span 40 years does that mean interest rates are going to go up 40 years well very possibly I'm not prepared to make that statement just yet but what I am prepared to say is we made a major 40 year cyclical turn in interest rates and interest rates are going to creep higher for the next several years perhaps even decades wow that's really good listen I'm going to let you go now but you're going to come back on at that would be at 230 and we'll review this again because this is this important folks if you like cycles and Fibonacci this is where it all comes from so please stay with us again at 230 you'll be back on we were affirmed on that that's great listen thanks for joining us now and I will await the what they call anticipation of baited breath when Mr. Powell comes on and tells us what he's doing stand do you ever think that he shares any of this information with anybody that's a joke anyway hey listen buddy thanks for thanks for joining us and we'll see you at in about a about a half an hour how's that look forward to it you bet me too we'll be right back folks stay tuned for the end of the show<PHONE_NUMBER> if you're looking for potential trading setups in the stock market then Rocket Equities and Options Report is a newsletter you should try Tommy O'Brien delivers options and equity trades when the markets present them using a combination of fundamentals and technicals sign up for Rocket Equities and Options Report today with a 30 day money back guarantee so you have nothing to risk for all the details and to start your subscription today visit the front page of TFNN Educating Investors you might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market you're going to need a crystal ball after all it's impossible to predict the future right like any endeavor in life before you decide it's impossible get some advice from the experts you might find that it's not so impossible after all for daily market overviews that give you direction on the key indices selective stocks and commodities subscribe to the opening call newsletter at TFNN.com the opening call newsletter is written by Basil Chapman creator of the trading methodology known as the Chapman Wave the Chapman Wave up down sequence gives you an edge in identifying price turns finding the peaks and valleys in stock prices get the opening call newsletter by Basil Chapman in your inbox every day first time subscribers also get a 30 day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied let us know and you'll get a free refund within 30 days of signing up TFNN.com educating investors on stocks you need to pay attention to and you can trust Larry's analysis after all he's got 45 years experience as a day trader Larry will also provide daily charts videos and data on the key markets that he's tracking expect notifications from Larry on market movement you need to act on at any time first time subscribers also get a 30 day money back guarantee if you're not satisfied let us know and you'll get a full refund within 30 days of signing up subscribe to the Fibonacci 24 7 newsletter today TFNN.com educating investors TFNN has launched the Tiger's Den hosted at Discord.

Yes, well, also, I think you see the excess of our system In you know basically making sure I don't have a problem making sure that That we don't get infections and etc etc, but we will go way overboard and waste the phenomenal amount of resources What's impressive about Yeah, the other the other thing that they do which is really Really beautiful in the one of the rooms where they have the four operating room table the fourth table is for training so the three three super folks will be or their Faculty will be doing their cases and then one one of them will rotate during one of their down times to the Table with the resident or fellow on it. And so there's always teaching going on in all of the ORs at all the time So it's it's really fantastic. So Randy. I just showed a Couple slides of our trip to my trip to point of cherry We were just discussing third work a little bit of third world the fact that they don't have any more Infection Lord even when they're doing these multiple cases the other and I've been tracking my cases Just myself and Alan Robin and all of them are just looking at what happens and the average use of BSS per case In my setting is 60 ccs per case, which means that you are throwing 430 ccs a fluid away every time because we have to break down and start over so Just a few thoughts Now I was hoping we'd there's just a couple things I want to talk about with with this for top We're going to get a lot of that Pretty soon So let's just go here Randy I was just saying this is a really Random talk this morning. So absolutely nothing that goes on so This for top. She is this is a interesting problem I think Randy's done probably more work and Nick have done more work than almost anybody on this issue And I'm really this is a this is a case of positive this for top Yeah, because I want to show it for a couple reasons But when you examine a patient that comes in with a complaint with 2020 or 2015 vision They can they'll describe these phenomenon and you look at the eye and you'll think it's perfect And if you look at the eye and they give these complaints and you think it's supposed to your capsule clouding Please don't do it because it's almost never there's lots of causes for these Lens-induced causes and I'll show you one that is a lens-induced causes But remember you can get these kinds of phenomena from some of your issues Capsular issues, but and that's the problem because in fact if everything looks perfect, there's a little PCO The thought if they're bitching a lot the thought that they're gonna Improve by PCO removal is not good make sure you get corneal Examination and see a mean and ready. This is of course the one of the surveys that you do And you might want to you want to comment a little bit on positive dysphotopsia or work No, I think it was 96 I think we're learning more and more as time goes on but And so this is a this is a real patient of mine sent down from by Rich Hoffman and Eugene Oregon and One thing to notice this was day one so a lot of times they They come into your office. They want the lights out. They they're they're describing this phenomenon and Unfortunately, you know, she was 20 20 at that point So they told her she was crazy and she may have been but Hence the reason why she's down here But at any rate point being that she would this she was sent down about six to seven months later And she is a professor of statistics at the University of Oregon But also notice what other things that are going on all this time She kept a pretty good luck. I had to read this in the dark as the room was dark when they came in and Usually the patients they talk about she actually had the PCO rate a few other things She talked about were you know reacting during surgery and then she did a nice analysis. She did our web search for us Which was very nice. You see here positive dysphotopsia She's quoting rates of 15 to 30 percent and she just talks about her what happened in her case Yeah, and unfortunately some of the early papers on this are from our group and Some had a handle it were from our group. So she flew down and we took care of her And you know, it's just very interesting to see that this kind of analysis Here's her evidence-based guideline that she sent to me and which was nice and Percentage of YAG patients and but these are her drawings These are her drawings and they were gone with the exchange of that lens 30 seconds afterwards She opened her eyes that they're gone Yeah, that's exactly what happened and the other problem too is they they thought her a lot of was Implementation and tear films and things like that so triggered her for way way too long Yeah, you didn't see the pressure but she was a steroid responder She came in with pressures of 48 at the time because they were mishandling that Here's some more things that she drew All these little images. So you do really have to listen to these folks now what I'm gonna do here Is I just want to show? Yeah, one one case where where the reason for the dysphotopsia is fairly obvious so For you for in practice if you see these kinds of scratches on The anterior surface of the lens and on the posterior surface of the lens and this is a restore So this person was told for seven years or three years Excuse me, but she was crazy everything was perfect And then she was referred in you guys got the Actually, this is a case report, but I don't want to show the whole thing here But you know so one point is even three to five years later seven years is the longest side I've done maybe eight years you can get these lenses out and not and put a new lens in sometimes you if they're Some of the plate lenses they can be very difficult to remove But what you have to do is just take your time Open the bag and you can see there's all a little bit of capsule pymosis as you're going on And then I'm going to jump to the end So there's what I use as I use a viscocanolostomy cannulus sometimes because that's only 32 Gauge 32 goes in very easily Sometimes you lift up the capsule with the second instrument. So let here this is another thing you use can use Well, yeah, and this is this And this is the The old rectal bubber because it's a little dull at the end that goes in very nicely So there's lots of different tricks. We can talk about that, but I just want to show the very end of this removal So you get some idea. So just to show you what happens with or can happen with these lenses I already knew that I was going to put a CTR in so I was willing to to do a little bit more there I'm showing what's what the problem is Everybody easy to get this part out, but this whole Part haptic, but most importantly this little piece at the end You've got to get that out and don't ever pull to the center wrote counter rotate Just the opposite of what you're putting it into and you can see here. This will give you an example What's going to happen? So just watch that Boom and the same thing on the other side. You've got to get that out But the other thing you can do is you can also if you want You can do You can leave the haptics in Rather than rather than take out the bag and then the same thing occurred on the other side And then we just by the way, I put a restore back in because her other I was 2020 and she loved the restore And this one so you I did use a CTR to keep the angles separated But you can see that that'll pop out and Nick you guys saw this this case as you know, it's a case report comment on and By the way, when I when I did do these cases I do fold them in the eye and bring them out rather than cut them Because almost all these are sent to me are legal cases and I wanted them to be able to analyze the Yeah, I will yeah Well, the lens that was in was an SN 60 W app which a wavefront lens and so I just took it out and use an AQ A lot of this Question That's that's negative discotope. See it. That's not that's not positive And I think if you one of the things if you ask I I think it's almost a hundred percent if you ask them will notice the Blinder issue Yeah, and they use they frequently do go away or they neuro adapt because they really probably don't go away And so you don't have to do this on a lot but it but you know resists they resist the temptation to just pop the capsule which is what a lot It's you normally what we do. Oh, this will this will get rid of it because it's not going to get rid of it And Yeah, so I and I use it three months as well But that but that one of the points that Randy brought up and it's really important when you're talking to your patients is Acknowledge their problem as real don't you know, don't think that they're crazy, you know 2020 I can't see you know our natural inclination is yeah, you can probably see okay But you got to acknowledge that they may have some problems. So just a next little topic Which is stimulated a lot is You know, what am I doing differently this year than say three years ago? So this is true. This was a talk I gave at the Academy last year on pseudo-exfoliation Can an old dog learn new tricks But the other question is do we need new tricks, you know when you're when you're trying to analyze things You're gonna put into your armamentarium and you go see something that looks pretty cool You know, sometimes it's worth integrating into your system and sometimes not so this is a really true point Issue so Why worry what now I'm talking pseudo-exfoliation, of course capsule rexis issues pupil dilation problems on your problems sticky cortex capsule phymosis late subluxation so otherwise No issues right Routine rather day. So and one of the questions that we had we haven't answered but we're trying to get a handle on is What do we do here? Well, what can we do if anything here to see if we can decrease that rate or make it at least Tell when we retire and somebody else has to deal with it. So we won't I think the issue is One always assess the patient pre-op if you can look for pupil dilation make sure because you got to have a game Plan ready minimize design under stress and then do what I like to call elegant Surgery as much as you can this is it was an interesting page case that also Just to show you Things are randomly. It's 12 years post-op. This happened in August. It's it's in that's also a case report in the Journal patient came in for a few routine yearly examination Dilated looking perfect. No didn't see any pseudo fake it nothing Call me later on the afternoon said my vision's blurry I said you're still dilated if it's very the next they come in came in he had bilateral Simultaneous anterior subluxation of the IOL which I did take him the orange picture that day But you know so these things can happen. So I hit what he did was he was dilated and he started working in his garden The afternoon and when his pupil came down he trapped both lenses No, well, I didn't tell him not to bend down I think you didn't tell me not to play basketball ears. I recall You have to add that to your list. I Had to add Yeah, I called the first-year resident they wouldn't do it I don't know why but I wanted to keep it down in the lower part of the system So this is an important question I think and and I think it does some of these have changed what we're doing and some so there's a beautiful work That came out of Nick and Lily on it's in the work here and Ryan's on As you can see this just beautiful displays point is You can see is with with the CTR's the Potential advantage of CTR's it makes Refixation a little bit easier, but if you want that lens out it also makes it harder So sometimes what I'll do if I have to take that out is is bring it out separately and you can often just put a Some kind of a 10-oh pro nylon suture through one of the eyelets So that won't be lost when you bring it up and then if you open it up And then you can often you bring it out that way you don't have to go through as large of an incision so So what are the different things that we're that I'm doing now that I I'm certainly I Frequently viscode dissect in these cases that to help allow of the rotational movements some work done here by the Abbey boss of it as daughters when they were here is that they showed with Miyake views that the Viscode does get back there I usually use one that's going to be retending so I'll often use a viscote, but you can use I don't I don't really care what you use But so don't if the if the lens doesn't rotate easily one don't do it And you could rehydrate a second viscodes act But again make sure that you don't rotate if there's any any stress on the on the zongles That's gone So I do like in those cases I do bi-manual rotations So you can really reduce the zongles of stress and you make sure for the residents you do not push down because that The purple part of the bag will seal around the the nuclear Tissue and then as you try to rotate your pop zongles. The other thing I'm doing routinely and expressly in So that's fully aces cases to reduce anterior lens epithelial cells by Using sweeps and we're working on some newer sweeps and some newer ways to do this It does not reduce PCO, but in a pretty good study by for a Haleo and Oliver fendle It does reduce capsule pymosis So again that this is something you could do easily at the time the extras 30 40 seconds I think is worth it and then if you're using CTR's I'd really like the new one the injectable one it comes It's very easy it comes in an L and an R left and right And of course everybody thinks the L is for the left eye and the R is for the right eye And that's not the case It's how it comes out of this and just for the residents what you want to do if it's a generalized zongle apathy Which most PXC is it doesn't matter which way you go if it's a if it's a trauma case Then you want to use the good zongles, so you aim it towards the weak zongles to get it in rotation The other you know the other way you can end up stripping more zongles if you put too much force on the other direction Comment so this is a cave. These are Miyake views. We were looking at this To do we were looking at the weather but the ultra chopper does which is very good But I wanted you to so this was when I started to think of start thinking again about rotation Look at that up here. Let me just rerun that One more time So we were not looking we weren't even looking at this but look at the look at the stress on the zongles so rotation is not benign you got to do it as elegantly as you can and Make sure it's pretty free. If it doesn't start to rotate.  I think you got to get it bigger You don't want to lead cortex. You don't want to do it anything so I think Right exactly so you wouldn't so even though I didn't I could have easily done it through that I decided I try not to the other thing is if the bag is even in the slightest bit floppy Don't come out of the eye Without filling the bag even just a little bit so the bag will not come up because they'll keep coming up and keep coming up and then remember on the last part of your of your Nuclear disassembly I usually drop the flow rate Down to about 25 so things don't happen quickly again to try to reduce that then this is the CTR Pulling up so the other thing that we used to teach is Radial stripping so this is another beautiful display that Lillian and Nick and their guys from Argentina or Brazil look at the if you look at this that thing again I want you to start that over I want you to look right up here So they there's only cortex. There's no bag and look at the look at the pull on the zonules Then I look at the end as you go down There's almost no Forces being put on the purple part of the zonules and you can't always do that But you really should try to do that and so you see here. This is the reverse view This is a tangential and so what are we doing differently? We're not stripping to the center and number one It's safer, but number two. It's faster. It's way faster once you get the technique down You can often go around in one or two moves and so it reduces that time but more importantly It also reduces the zonule stress So these are just some cases a few cases that I do the other thing I'm doing differently to a little bit is my rexis and I'll show you one of that in a minute. So you can see here and these are Just going around randomly around and you can see just it's gone. I mean that's that's happens all the time So the difference that I'm doing on these for a second So again, there are two types of rexis one is a standard tear rexis where you fold over and lead it and you're using the zonules on that force to just to tear around you re-grab and re-grab and re-grab and Who's a first-year resident? Well, everybody knows the little maneuver, correct? So what is what is the purpose of the little? Brian little's maneuver. It's a rescue. Yeah So what what you do is you see that that it's going out So you you stop you fold you fold it refold it grab it and pull it to the center, right? So why not try to incorporate that in an infinite number of times by tearing centrally all the way around and It sort of gets free it's freaky the first couple hundred you do but it's going to be it's worth it So if you watch what you can do is now this this won't be a perfect worm None of them are by the way, obviously, but if you pull to the center you can usually do most of these cases in Three grabs the trick is don't grab it close start it in the direction You want it and then just pull to the center it goes all the way around And so I've reduced the amount of time doing the rexess, but also Because you're doing a infinite number of Brian little maneuvers. They don't tear out very often Nick you want to come in? Okay Why do it on everybody yeah, exactly exactly You're pulling your next chunk right next to you so it just follows all the way along rather than So then the other thing is let one of the things that's happened is we our microscopes have got so much better that we Realize all the crap that we leave in the eye So we decided we maybe we should really remove some of these lens epithelial cells And we're trying to design better ones these the singer sweeps work pretty well But there's often a little street on the capsule or on the bag not the bag but the wound because of the way they're designed So we're trying to redesign them so that you can really see them This is what with one of the new zyscopes you can really see Beautifully you can go all the way around I'm not as anal as Sam basket, but he puts two extra stab incisions in so he can do 360 on every single case so kind of interesting so The other I'm not gonna discuss that but I wanted to show one more One question One thing about that I like about the SN lens is it's so floppy it's so much easier to get in To these cases so I if I'm really worried about Johnny those Either I'll use a three-piece or I'll use that just because of that Just it's just so tacky and it really is just floppy as I'll get out So one more thing I wanted everybody to know about I don't know if you you all know this but you know We're we're talking about CT ours, which you saw we know that the Sione Modification of the CT R is a single eyelet or double eyelet that comes up over the bag an Ahmed Segment or a cap retention segment is about a 90 degree and it's PMMA and it has a single eyelet We I use that a lot in cases Trauma cases where you don't need you know Put it to put the Sione rings in by the way if you're using the Sione use the new G1 Don't use the old. It's a much softer much easier to put in and now there's a modification another modification That actually comes from here, so I want to show it to you This is the um body. Sorry about this. I told you it was gonna be random So this is a kid a second. I have a kid. I'm what I'm doing is doing see Sione's on the other eye and then Looking at the embodies on this eye. So basically as you'll see here I you won't so this is it's quite a bit different because it is It's very floppy. So it has it says first. I thought this isn't gonna work But so but so what I've done is these are this is obviously Gore-Tex these are in these kids. I go about two and a half Millimeters posterior and then I use MBR 23 or 25 gauge MBR blades just to make the these incisions and then you put Gore-Tex in and so Ballas thing has two loops and the so I've separated these by about four sometimes five millimeters and Goes through that eyelet and through that eyelet And there it's a little you'll see it's a little bit floppy putting it in and they and it isn't elevated So the first time you use them. It's a little it you think you're expecting to do it like a Sione or an Ahmed segment but you just pulls up very nicely and this eye is Beautifully centered the other one and this actually had a very very dislocated That you couldn't see the lens in the pupil So I don't really bring that down to do the do the Rex's on these cases. So it's really um, I Think it's gonna be a very interesting Modification and we have them here. So if anybody wants to try them just let let Bala know I think they I don't know if they're actually carrying it yet in the thing But we have him here. So I I just think this is For some of these cases, it'll be quite good. So this is the what they look like sort of at the end of the procedure is Very beautifully centered and and at the distribution of the energy is really that there's no pulling on the Rex's right? It's a very very nice idea. So just food for a little thought on some of your some of these types of cases So you get lenses where you really have a 180 to Zonio, I did put a CTR in obviously because there's sometimes even in these Marfan's kids This is this kids but 10 You just want to make sure that you have Potential for putting other devices in so With that I think I'll stop and let everybody go play have one more thing We'll talk about next time. There should be sort of reposition of interocular lenses. That's a long talk. So any questions Diagnosis Yeah The the the the other point with the with those lenses is there's no really good sulcus lens in the United States The best would be the star and that their their optic is bigger than it's kind of hard To get those into the bag that the ma-60s are really you know You look at the size of those you can do a 50 which which would get you out there But you'd have to carry a lot of of ma-50s get a big size because that's a six and a half millimeter optic And I think a 13 and a half millimeter thing but they but these the hope is you get those They're gonna be in the angle in the sulcus and have five Fiving around it or Whatever holds it in there, but they it's just not designed for that Yeah, they I've seen some decentered ones on those set to me for I will exchange on those because they've captured it in the bag And then as the bag starts to move the whole lens I So the point of point is old dogs can learn new tricks and some of them are worth putting into your armamentary


Do other stuff and I wanted to progress so I had to get away from uniform policing now You've mentioned about losing your head. I don't know if you've seen it No, I understand that this goes out later than then we were recording it But Tommy Robinson has just been arrested you know now. This is interesting now there has been Calls for me to reach out to him and him likewise. I don't want to get caught up in That Muslim stuff. I don't want to get caught up in that the alt-right politics and all that However, I'm gonna side with him massively on this one because He his daughter was sexually assaulted by what looks like if the information is right a group of pedophiles They've got themselves down into like a pedophile haven which is the center parks And you know and that they're in cahoots with each other So you've probably got a conspiracy to commit indecent assault. So every one of them should have been arrested They should have been searched their computers their phone should have been interrogated They should have done a rose-wash job on them and instead they arrest him because he detained one of them And in the melee gets one of them gets a bit of a spanking Tommy got the jewel because apparently The man grabbed his daughter eight-year-old daughters bum. Yeah, and he lose the rag and Tommy got the jewel. Yeah. Yeah, and then I'm not for the politics For the grooming gangs and what he does Yeah It takes a lot of courage and balls to put yourself at the forefront because his life is in danger every single second of the day And this is the first time I've made a public testimony to wall towards him I know his real name Steven, you know, and I say to you if you're out there Steven I don't work and you know, you did the right thing my friend you did and I think you're gonna get a lot of Support for this and I myself will personally back on this one I don't agree so much with the other we differ in things but on this one you're bang on right the guys were pedophiles and I'm gonna tell you now I And I'm sort of aiming it this imminent in his little team there. We turned up a Case and for some reason they sent the detectives in first. I said can you go to this address a pedophile has been detained and it was Jamaican family and found out that one of the family had been sex assault in One of the young girls very soon raised to Tommy's young door And when we went round there This bloke was just like a battered offering his eyes were hanging out. He was I don't think there was a bone left Unbroken in his body and at no point did we even consider Questioning how that happened then well interested and we took him in in case he had to go to hospital but he never said anything and Nothing was pursued on that and it weren't gonna be either we weren't interested. Can you imagine that this woman with your kid and someone does that you're going to You're close to everybody's got a breaking point Yeah, the strongest men become the weakest in the weekends can become the strongest if someone does interact your kid I'm surprised because I know thought he can't go through it as well. He will not back down He never killed the boy But he probably knew the backlash that we've got and now the papers have blamed him as if he was in the wrong Which is sad as well because this is the thing with me dad They don't put three of the right story they don't and you look they sent three coppers around that was common assault That could have been dealt with by summons. They didn't need to nick him There was no justification for nicking him that the three guys should have been nicked They were on about a breach of the peace Continuing with a breach of the peace will nick the three pedophiles Go and search their homes. You've got a golden opportunity. I used to say this to when I took detectives for a while And they're always on about getting the big job and all that I said they'll come I said, but I'll tell you what there's no worse crime Then pedophilia they went well, you know, it doesn't get reported much I said right well, is anyone got a test goes where they're working?


CHAPTER XX. This chapter is not one of Old Peter's stories, though there are doubtless some stories in it. It tells how Vanja and Marusia drove to the village to see a new baby. Old Peter had a sister who lived in the village not so very far away from the forest, and she had a plump daughter, and the daughter was called Nastasia, and she was married to a handsome peasant called Celge, who had three cows, a lot of pigs, and a flock of fat geese. And one day, when Old Peter had gone to the village to buy tobacco and sugar and sunflower seeds, he came back in the evening and said to the children, There's something new in the village. What sort of something? asked Vanja. Alive! said Old Peter. Is there a lot of it? asked Vanja. No, only one. Then it can't be pigs, said Vanja, in a melancholy voice. I thought it was pigs. Perhaps it's a little calf, said Marusia. I know what it is, said Vanja. Well, it's a pole. It's brown all over, with white on its nose and a lot of white hairs in its tail. No. What is it, then, grandfather?  It's small and red, and it's got a bumpy head with hair on it, like the fluff of a duckling. It has blue eyes, and ten fingers to its forepaws, and ten toes to its hind feet, five to each. It's a baby, said Marusia. Yes. Nastasia has got a little son. Aunt Sophia has got a grandson. You have got a new cousin, and I have got a new great-nephew. Think of that. Already it's a son, and a cousin, and a grandson, and the great-nephew, and he's only been alive twelve hours. He lost no time in taking a position for himself. He'll be a great man one of these days if he goes on as fast as that. The children had jumped up as soon as they knew it was a baby. When's the christening? The day after tomorrow. Oh, grandfather! Well? Who's going to the christening? The baby, of course. Yes, but other people. All the village. And us?  And so it was settled that Vanya and Marusia were to go to the christening of their new cousin, who was only twelve hours old. All the next day they could think of nothing else, and early on the morning of the christening they were up and about, Marusia seeing that Vanya had on a clean shirt, and herself putting her green ribbon in her hair. The sun shone, and the leaves on the trees were all new and bright, and the sky was pale blue through the flickering green leaves. Old Peter was up early, too, harnessing the little yellow horse into the old cart. The cart was of rough wood without springs, like a big box fixed on long larch-balls between two pairs of wheels. The larch-balls did instead of springs, bending and creaking as the cart moved over the forest track. The shafts came from the front wheels upwards to the horse's shoulders, and between the ends of them there was a tall, strong hoop of wood, called a dugger, which rose high over the shoulders of the horse above his collar, and had two little bells hanging from it at the top. The wooden hoop was painted green with little red flowers. The harness was mostly of ropes, but that did not matter so long as it held together. The horse had a long tail and mane, and looked as untidy as a little boy, but he had a green ribbon in his forelock in honour of the christening, and he could go like anything, and never got tired. When all was ready, old Peter arranged a lot of soft, fresh hay in the cart for the children to sit in. Hay is the best thing in the world to sit in when you drive in a jolting Russian cart. Old Peter put in a tremendous lot, so that the horse could eat some of it while waiting in the village, and yet leave them enough to make them comfortable on the journey back. Finally, old Peter took a gun that he had spent all the evening before in cleaning, and laid it carefully in the hay. What's the gun for? asked Vanja. I am to be a god-parent, said old Peter, and I want to give him a present. I could not give him a better present than a gun, for he shall be a forester, and a good shot, and you cannot begin too early. Presently Vanja and Marusia were tapped into the hay, and old Peter climbed in with the plaited rains, and away they went along the narrow forest track, where the wheels followed the ruts and splashed through the deep holes, for the spring was young and the roads had not yet dried. Some of the deepest holes had a few pine branches laid in them, but that was the only road-mending that ever was done. Overhead were the tall firs and silver birches with their little pale round leaves, and somewhere, not far away, a cuckoo was calling, while the murmur of the wild pigeons never stopped for a moment. They drove on and on through the forest, and at last came out from among the trees into the open country, a broad flat plain stretching to the river. Far away they could see the big square sail of a boat, swelled out in the light wind, and they knew that there was the river on the banks of which stood the village. They could see a small clump of trees, and as they came nearer the pale green cupolas of the white village church, rising above the tops of the birches. Presently they came to a rough wooden bridge, and crossed over a little stream that was on its way to join the big river. Vanja looked at it. Grandfather, he asked, when the frost went, which was water first, the big river or the little river? Why, the little river, of course, said old Peter. It's always the little streams that wake first in the spring, and running down to the big river make it swell and flood and break up the ice. It's always been so, ever since the quarrel between the Vazutza and the Volga. What was that? said Vanja. It was like this, said old Peter. The Vazutza and the Volga flow for a long way side by side, and then they join and flow together. And the Vazutza is a little river, but the Volga is the mother of all Russia and the greatest river in the world. And the little Vazutza was jealous of the Volga. You are big and noisy," she says to the Volga, and terribly strong. But as for Brains, says she, why, I have more Brains than a single ripple than you in all that lump of water. Of course, the Volga told her not to be so rude and said that little rivers should know their place and not argue with the great. But the Vazutza would not keep quiet, and at last she said to the Volga, look here, we will lie down and sleep, and we will agree that the one of us who wakes first and comes to the sea is the wiser of the two. And the Volga said, oh, very well, if only you will stop talking. So the little Vazutza and the big Volga lay and slept, white and still, all through the winter. And when the spring came, the little Vazutza woke first, brisk and laughing and hurrying, and rushed away as hard as she could towards the sea. When the Volga woke, the little Vazutza was already far ahead. But the Volga did not hurry. She woke slowly, and shook the ice from herself, and then came roaring after the Vazutza, a huge foaming flood of angry water. And the little Vazutza listened as she ran, and she heard the Volga coming after her. And when the Volga caught her up, a tremendous foaming river whirling along trees and blocks of ice, she was frightened, and she said, oh, Volga, let me be your little sister, and I will never argue with you any more, you're wiser than I, and stronger than I. Only take me by the hand and bring me with you to the sea. And the Volga forgave the little Vazutza, and took her by the hand and brought her safely to the sea, and they have never quarrelled again. But all the same, it is always the little Vazutza that gets up first in the spring, and tugs at the white blankets of ice and snow, and wakes her big sister from her winter sleep. They drove on over the flat open country, with no hedges, but only ditches to drain off the floods, and very often not even ditches to divide one field from another. And huge crows with grey hoods and shawls pecked about in the grass at the roadside, or flew heavily in the sunshine. They passed a little girl with a flock of geese, and another little girl lying in the grass, holding a long rope which was fastened to the horns of a brown cow, and the little girl lay on her face and slept among the flowers, while the cow walked slowly round her, step by step, chewing the grass, and thinking about nothing at all. And at last they came to the village, where the road was wider, and instead of one pair of ruts there were dozens, and the cart bumped worse than ever. The broad, earthy road had no stones in it, and in places where the puddles would have been deeper than the axles of the wheels, it had been mended by laying down fir logs and small branches in the puddles, and putting a few spadefuls of earth on the top of them. The road ran right through the village, on either side of it were little wooden huts. The ends of the timbers crossed outside at the four corners of the huts. They fitted neatly into each other, and some of them were carved, and there were no slates or tiles on the roofs, but little thin slips of wood overlapping each other. There was not a single stone hut or cottage in the village. Only the church was partly brick, white washed, with bright green cupolas up in the air, and thin gold crosses on the tops of the cupolas, shining in the clear sky. Outside the church were rows of short posts, with long, rough fir timbers nailed on the top of them, to which the country people tied their horses when they came to church. There were several carts there already, with bright-coloured rugs lying on the hay in them, and the horses were eating hay or biting the logs. Always, except when the logs are quite new, you can tell the favourite places for tying up horses to them, because the timbers will have deep holes in them, where they have been gnawed away by the horses' teeth. They bite the timbers, while their masters eat sunflower seeds, not for food, but to pass the time. Now then, said old Peter, as he got down from the cart, tied the horse, gave him an armful of hay from the cart, and lifted the children out. Be quick, we shall be late if we don't take care. I believe we are late already. Good health to you, Fedor! he said to an old peasant, and has the baby gone in. He has, Peter, and my health is not so bad. And how is yours? Good also, Fedor, thanks be to God, and with you see to these two, for I am a God-parent and must be near the priest. Winningly, said the old peasant, Fedor, how they do grow to be sure, like young birch trees. Come along, then, little pigeons. Old Peter hurried into the church, followed by Fedor, with Vanya and Marusha. They all crossed themselves, and said a prayer as they went in. The ceremony was just beginning. The priest in his silk robes was standing before the gold and painted screen at the end of the church, and there were the basin of holy water, and old Peter's sister, and the nurse, Babkatanya, very proud, holding the baby in a roll of white linen, and rocking it to and fro. There were coloured pictures of saints all over the screen, which stretches from one side of the church to the other. Some of the pictures were framed in gilt frames under glass, and were partly painted, and partly metal. The faces and hands of the saints were painted, and their clothes were glittering silver or gold.  A Russian christening is very different from an English one. For one thing the baby goes right into the water, not once, but three times. Babkatanya unrolled the baby, and the priest covered its face with his hand, and down it went under the water, once, twice, and again. Then he took some of the sacred ointment on his finger, and anointed the baby's forehead, and feet, and hands, and little round stomach. Then, with a pair of scissors, he cut a little pinch of fluff from the baby's head, and rolled it into a pellet with the ointment, and threw the pellet into the holy water. And after that the baby was carried solemnly three times round the holy water. The priest blessed it and prayed for it, and there it was, a little true Russian, ready to be carried back to its mother Nastasia, who lay at home in her cottage, waiting for it. When they got outside the church, they all went to Nastasia's cottage to congratulate her on her baby, and to tell her what good lungs it had, and what a handsome face, and how it was exactly like its father. Nastasia smiled at Vanya and Marusha, but they had no eyes except for the baby, and for all that belonged to it, especially its cradle. Now, a Russian baby has a very much finer cradle than an English baby. A long furpole is fastened in the middle and at one end to the beams in the ceiling of the hut, so that the other end swings free, just below the rafters. From this end is hung a big basket, and on the ropes by which the basket hangs are fastened shawls of bright colors. The baby is tucked in the basket, the shawls closed round it, and as the mother or the nurse sits at her spinning, she just kicks the basket gently, now and again, and it swings up and down from the end of the pole, as if it were hung from the branch of a tree. This baby had a fine new basket and a large pole newly fixed, white, and shining under the dark beams of the ceiling. It had presents beside old Peter's gun. It had a fine wooden spoon with a picture on it of a cottage and a fish. It had a wooden bowl and a painted mug, bought from one of the peddling barges that go up and down the rivers, selling chairs and crockery, just like the caravans that travel our English roads, and also although it was so young, it had a little sacred picture made of metal, a picture of St. Nicolai, because this was St. Nicolai's day, and the baby was called Nicolai. There was a Samovar already steaming in the cottage, and a great cake of pastry, and cabbage, and eggs, and fish, and there were cabbage soup with sour cream, and black bread, and a little white bread, and red kissled jelly, and a huge jug of milk, and everybody ate and drank and talked as if they were never going to stop. The sun was warm, and presently the men went outside and sat on a log, leaning their backs against the wall of the hut, and making cigarettes and smoking, or eating sunflower seeds, cracking the husks with their teeth, taking out the white kernels, and blowing the husks away, and the women sat in the hut, and now and then brought out glasses of hot tea to the men, and then went back again to talk of what a fine man the baby would be, and to remember other babies, and the old women looked at the young mothers and laughed, and said that they could remember the days when they were christened, when they were babies themselves, no bigger than the little Nicolai who swung in the basket, and squalled, or slept proudly, just as if he knew that all the world belonged to him, because he was so very young. And Vanya and Barusha ate sunflower seeds too, and sometimes played outside the cottage, and sometimes inside, but mostly stood very quiet, close to the swinging cradle, waiting till old Babka Tanya, the nurse, should pull the shawls a little way aside, and let them see the pink, crumpled face of little Nicolai, and the yellow fluff just like a ducklings which covered his bumpy pink head. At last, towards evening, old Peter packed what was left of the hay into the cart, and packed Vanya and Barusha in with the hay. Everybody said good-byes all round, and Peter climbed in and took up the rope-rains. He'll be a fine man. He shouted through the door to Nastasia, a fine man, and God grant he'll be as healthy as he is good. Till we meet again, he cried out merrily to the villagers, and Vanya and Barusha waved their hands, and off they drove, back again to the hut in the forest. They were very much quieter on the way back than they had been when they drove to the village in the morning, and the early summer day was quiet as it came to its end. There was a corn-crate rattling in the fields, and more than once they saw frogs hop out of the road as they drove by in the twilight. A hare ran before them through the dusk and disappeared, and when they came to the wooden bridge over the stream, a tall gray bird with a long beak rose up from the bank and flew slowly away, carrying his long legs like a thin pair of crutches straight out behind him. Who is that? asked Vanya, sleepily, from his nest in the hay. That is Mr. Crane, said old Peter. Perhaps he's on his way to visit Miss Heron, and tell her that this time he has really made up his mind and to ask her to let bygones be bygones. What bygones? said Vanya. Old Peter watched the Crane's slow, steady flight above the low, marshy ground on either side of the stream, and then he said, Why, surely you know about that.  No, never, grandfather, said Marusha. She was nearly as sleepy as Vanya after the day in the village and the fuss and pleasure of the christening. Oh, well, said old Peter, and he told the tale of Mr. Crane and Miss Heron as the cart bumped slowly along the rough road, while Vanya and Marusha looked out with sleepy eyes from their nest of hay, and listened, and the sky turned green, and the trees grew dim, and the frogs croaked in the ditches. Mr. Crane and Miss Heron lived in a marsh five miles across from end to end. They lived there, and fed on the frogs which they caught in their long bills, and held up in the air for a moment, and then swallowed, standing on one leg. The marsh was always damp, and there were always plenty of frogs, and life went well for them, except that they saw very little company. They had no one to pass the time of day with, for Mr. Crane had built his little hut on one side of the marsh, and Miss Heron had built hers on the other. So it came into the head of Mr. Crane that it was dull work, living alone. If only I were married, he thought, there would be two of us to drink our tea beside the Samovar at night, and I should not spend my evenings in melancholy thinking only of frogs. I will go to see Miss Heron, and I will offer to marry her. So off he flew to the other side of the marsh, flap, flap, with his legs hanging out behind, just as we saw him to-night. He came to the other side of the marsh, and flew down to the hut of Miss Heron. He tapped on the door with his long beak. Is Miss Heron at home? At home? said Miss Heron. Will you marry me? said Mr. Crane. Of course I won't, said Miss Heron.  You will have no dainties to feed me with. Off with you long-bodied one, and don't come bothering me.  But as soon as he was gone, Miss Heron, sitting alone in her hut, began to think things over, and to be sorry she had spoken in such a hurry. After all, thinks she, it is poor work living alone, and Mr. Crane, in spite of what I said about his looks, is really a handsome enough young fellow. Indeed at evening, when he stands on one leg, he is very handsome indeed. Yes, I will go and marry him. So off flew Miss Heron, flap, flap, over five miles of marsh, and came to the hut of Mr. Crane. Is the master at home? At home, said Mr. Crane. Ah, Mr. Crane, said Miss Heron. I was chaffing you just now. When shall we be married? No, Miss Heron, said Mr. Crane. I have no need of you at all. I do not wish to marry, and I will not take you for my wife, even if I did. Clear out, and let me see the last of you.  Miss Heron wept tears of shame that ran from her eyes down her long bill, and dropped one by one to the ground, and then she flew away home, wishing she had not come.  It is dull living alone. Since she wants it, I will marry her. And he flew off after Miss Heron. He came to her heart and told her, Miss Heron, I have thought things over. I have decided to marry you. Mr. Crane, said Miss Heron, I too have thought things over. I would not marry you, not for ten thousand young frogs. Nor flew Mr. Crane. As soon as he was gone, Miss Heron thought, Why didn't I agree to marry Mr. Crane? It's dull alone. I will go at once and tell him I have changed my mind. She flew off to betroth herself. But Mr. Crane would have none of her. Then she flew back again. And so they go on to this day, first one and any other flying across the marsh with an offer of marriage, and flying back with shame. They have never married, and never will. Grandfather, whispered Marusha, tugging at old Peter's sleeve, Van your is asleep. They drove on through the forest silently, except for the creaking of the cart and the loud singing of the nightingales in the tops of the tall firs. They came at last to their hut. Ah, said old Peter, as he lifted them out, first one and then the other. It isn't only Van your who's asleep. And he carried them in and put them to bed without waking them. End of the christening in the village and end of old Peter's Russian tales.


So, we're looking at a project that we've worked on for a few years now trying to enhance protein and winter wheat. In the past, winter wheat was a crop that has no protein premium. Protein was never an issue. It typically is a starch component in bread and so protein was never an issue. There was never a premium that came along with winter wheat. Farmer would simply take his winter wheat into the elevator and they would pay him for the bushels that he delivered. As the world evolves now, especially with food, we're looking more at quality of food. So protein, especially plant-based protein, is becoming a bigger issue. What we're trying to do is figure out how we can enhance the protein of winter wheat. And typically that is done with fertilizer and nitrogen fertilizer. What's the correct application process to enhance protein? And what we found is that they're really fairly similar to what you would expect with spring wheat. So as the plant starts to mature, you hit the flag leaf and at that point in time, the plant basically starts to pour nutrients and develop protein into the head. And so if we can target our fertilizer applications towards that head development as the flag leaf emerges from that point on, then we tend to be able to enhance our protein content.


Good morning. My name is Betty Anderson. I am the retirement service officer here at Redstone Arseneau. I'm located in building 3494 room 112. Today, I have with me the Retirement Council. To my right, I have Lieutenant Colonel Russell Brownfield. To my left I have Sergeant Major Darnell Pell. Today, we will be talking about the Retirement Appreciation Day. I've been with the council for like 10 years and we were on the 51st annual Retirement Appreciation Day, and this is just where we like to give back to the retirees and show appreciation for all their service to the military and the communities. So we try to do this through the retiree appreciation day events by honoring them. Just like Sergeant Major Pell just mentioned it's it's an opportunity to give back. I've been in the military for quite some time over 35 years and really enjoyed my time in the military, but taking off the uniform and actually being a part of the retirement community is just as rewarding if not more rewarding only because of and I say that only because of the benefits and the opportunity to actually participate in the Arseneau's activities and along with the RSO, ensuring that information gets out to our retirees and we're able to service them as much as we can during the Retirement Appreciation Day. So it's great. It's wonderful and we've got one coming up here shortly on the 21st of October this year. Doing this event if you come social distance is preferred, but masks is optional. So once you come, if you feel that you want to wear your mask, you can do so. Retirement Appreciation Day is a culmination of all the things that have we've done course of the year to pull this all together and how this typically starts is is that Ms. Anderson is as the retirement service officer pulls us all together in a room and we look at all of the things that retirees need for that particular day. So coming up on on the 21st of October is we have the health fair which includes the flu shots. We have legal who's going to assist in wills or in time other preparation. We have the commissary and the PX that are going to be doing various events and then of course we have our briefing various briefings and speeches that are going on at the beginning of the day. We start at about nine until about 11 o'clock. During that period, you the retiree gets the information that is critical for you for the upcoming year. We have the Military Officers Association that MOAA that speaks on the legislation that's coming up and it's a really informative period of time. On the 21st, we will also provide breakfast and lunch for the retirees. So make sure that you attend these meetings because it will have a lot of pertinent information for you and your family members. Information that have been updated throughout the years to make you more informative of what is happening within the military retirement system. Now you're only right now today looking at three people that make up the MRC but there are many more of us that make up the MRC and we meet quarterly to look at all the things that we're doing when I say all the things that we're doing we look the things that make up the retiree appreciation day. With that in mind we're always looking for new members so if you are interested in joining the military retiree council there will be a application form in the bulletin that you will receive here shortly and you fill out that bulletin fill out that form send it in and we will add you to the email list and we will make you a member of the council. It costs nothing to be a member and you can be a voice for the other retirees in the community. So come on out on both the 20th and the 21st. And don't you forget on the 20th we will have legal, we will have the ID card section and we will have the army finance PEM reset available for you. On the 21st we will have the benefit briefing along with the health fair. So make sure you come out to these events because we are looking forward to seeing you.  Soldier for life, soldier forever.
