Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we will learn about properties of modulus of complex numbers. Now we know that if a complex number z is equal to a plus b iota, then modulus of z is equal to square root of a square plus b square, where a is called the real part and b is called the imaginary part of the complex number and a and b are real numbers. Now let us discuss the first property of the modulus of complex numbers and that is the modulus of a complex number and the modulus of its conjugate are equal. That is if z is a complex number, then modulus of z is equal to the modulus of conjugate of z and also the modulus of a negative of a complex number is equal to modulus of a complex number. That is modulus of a complex number is equal to modulus of negative of the complex number. Therefore modulus of z is equal to modulus of conjugate of z is equal to modulus of negative of a complex number. Now let us prove this property for this let the complex number z is equal to a plus b iota, then modulus of z will be equal to square root of a square plus b square and the modulus of conjugate of z will be equal to now conjugate of z will be equal to Now here we will change the sign of the imaginary part in the complex number z so it will be a minus b iota therefore the modulus of the conjugate of z will be equal to square root of a square plus minus b square which is equal to square root of a square plus b square. Now minus z that is the negative of this complex number is equal to minus a minus b iota therefore the modulus of minus z will be equal to square root of minus a square plus minus b square which is equal to square root of a square plus b square. Hence from these three equations modulus of z is equal to modulus of conjugate of z is equal to modulus of minus z. Now let us start with the second property which is minus of modulus of z is less than equal to the real part of z is less than equal to modulus of z and minus of modulus of z is less than equal to the imaginary part of z is less than equal to the modulus of z where z is a complex number. Now let us prove this identity now here let z that is the complex number z is equal to a plus b iota then modulus of z will be equal to square root of a square plus b square. Now a square is less than equal to a square plus b square because b square is greater than equal to 0 which implies the square of the modulus of z that is a square plus b square will be equal to the square of modulus of z is greater than equal to a square which further represents a square root of a square plus b square. This implies modulus of z is greater than equal to plus minus a which further implies modulus of z is greater than equal to a or modulus of z is greater than equal to minus a. This implies modulus of z is greater than equal to a or minus modulus of z is less than equal to a which implies minus modulus of z is less than equal to a is less than equal to modulus of z. Now we know that in the complex number z which is equal to a plus b iota a is called the real part and b is called the imaginary part. So this implies minus modulus of z is less than equal to the real part of z is less than equal to the modulus of z. Similarly we can prove this that is similarly we can guess minus modulus of z is less than equal to b less than equal to modulus of z which implies minus modulus of z is less than equal to the imaginary part of z is less than equal to the modulus of z. Now let us discuss the next property which is the modulus of a complex number is 0 if and only if the complex number is 0. That means the modulus of a complex number that is z is equal to 0 if and only if the complex number is equal to 0 that is the real part of z is equal to the imaginary part of z is equal to 0. Now let us prove this property. Now let the complex number z is equal to a plus b iota then modulus of z is equal to 0 if and only if the modulus of z that is square root of a square plus b square is equal to 0. If and only if a square plus b square is equal to 0 if and only if a is equal to 0 and b is equal to 0. Now we know that a is called the real part of the complex number and b is called the imaginary part of the complex number. So a is equal to 0 and b is equal to 0 if and only if the real part of z is equal to 0 and the imaginary part of z is equal to 0. That means the complex number z is equal to 0 so this proves this identity that modulus of z is equal to 0 if and only if the complex number is equal to 0. Now next property is the product of a complex number with its conjugate is equal to the square of its modulus that is if z is the complex number then z into the conjugate of z is equal to the square of the modulus of z. Now let us prove this identity. Now let's the complex number z is equal to x plus y iota so conjugate of z will be equal to x minus y iota. Now z into the conjugate of z is equal to x plus y iota the whole into x minus y iota the whole. Now applying the formula of a plus b the whole into a minus b the whole which is equal to a square minus b square this is equal to x square minus iota square y square. Now iota square is minus 1 so this will be x square plus y square. Now modulus of z is equal to square root of x square plus y square therefore the square of the modulus of z will be equal to x square plus y square therefore this value will be equal to the square of the modulus of z. Now let us start with the next property and that is the modulus of the product of two complex numbers is equal to the product of their modulus that is if z1 and z2 two complex numbers then modulus of z1 into z2 is equal to modulus of z1 into modulus of z2. Now let us prove this property here that z1 is equal to a plus b iota z2 is equal to c plus b iota where a b c and d are real numbers then z1 into z2 is equal to a plus b iota the whole into c plus d iota the whole which is equal to a c minus b d the whole plus a d plus b iota the whole. Now modulus of z1 into z2 is equal to the square root of a c minus b d whole square plus a d plus b c whole square which is equal to square root of a square c square plus b square d square minus 2 a d plus b iota. Now a b c d plus a square d square plus b square c square plus 2 a b c d. Now these terms are cancelled each other and further this is equal to square root of now from these two terms taking a square common it will be a square into c square plus d square the whole plus from these two terms taking b square common it will be plus b square into c square plus d square the whole which is equal to square root of a square plus b square the whole into c square plus d square the whole. which is equal to square root of a square plus b square into square root of c square plus t square. modulus of z1 is equal to square root of a square plus b square and modulus of z2 is equal to square root of c square plus d square. So this is equal to modulus of z1 into modulus of z2. Hence we have proved the given identity. Now in channel we can write modulus of z1 into z2 and so on up to zn is equal to modulus of z1 into modulus of z2 into so on up to modulus of zn. That is the modulus of the product of m complex numbers is the product of the module of z1 and if z1 is equal to z2 is equal to z then the modulus of the square of z is equal to the modulus of z into the modulus of z which is equal to the square of modulus of z. That is the modulus of the square of a complex number is equal to square of the modulus of that complex number. Similarly if z1 is equal to z2 is equal to so on is equal to zn which is equal to z then the modulus of z raised to power n is equal to the modulus of z raised to power n where n belongs to the set of natural numbers. Now let us discuss the next property that is z inverse that is z raised to power minus 1 is equal to the conjugate of z over the square of modulus of z. Now let us prove this identity. Now we know that z into the conjugate of z is equal to the square of the modulus of z. Now this property we have proved earlier therefore z into the conjugate of z over the square of the modulus of z is equal to 1 which implies the conjugate of z over the square of the modulus of z is equal to 1 over z which is equal to that raised to power minus 1. Hence the given property is proved. Now let us discuss the next property that is the modulus of z1 plus z2 is less than equal to modulus of z1 plus modulus of z2. Now let us prove this identity. Now the square of the modulus of z1 plus z2 is equal to z1 plus z to the whole into the conjugate of z1 plus z to the whole because z into the conjugate of z is equal to the square of the modulus of z. This property that we have proved earlier. So this will be equal to z1 plus z to the whole into now the conjugate of z1 plus z2 is equal to conjugate of z1 plus conjugate of z2 the whole. Now multiplying we get z1 into the conjugate of z1 plus z1 into the conjugate of z2 plus z2 into conjugate of z1 plus z2 into conjugate of z2. Now using this property z1 into the conjugate of z1 can be written as the square of the modulus of z1 and this term can be written as plus the square of the modulus of z2 plus z1 into the conjugate of z2 plus z2 into the conjugate of z1 the whole. Further this is equal to the square of the modulus of z1 plus the square of the modulus of z2 plus z1 into conjugate of z2 plus now this term can be written as the conjugate of z1 into the conjugate of z2 the whole. Now we know that the conjugate of a conjugate of a complex number is equal to the complex number itself. So we can write this as the conjugate of z1 into the conjugate of conjugate of z2 so this will become the complex number z2 so in the resultant we get the conjugate of z1 into z2. Now this is equal to the square of modulus of z1 plus the square of the modulus of z2 plus 2 into real part of z1 into conjugate of z2 because z plus the conjugate of z is equal to 2 real part of z since a is less than equal to square root of a square plus b square therefore the real part of a complex number that is if z is equal to a plus b iota then a is the real part of the complex number can never exceed its absolute value that is the absolute value or the modulus of z that means the real part of z is less than equal to the modulus of z so here the real part of z1 into conjugate of z2 will also be less than equal to the modulus of z1 into conjugate of z2 that is it is less than equal to the square of the modulus of z1 plus the square of the modulus of z2 plus 2 into the modulus of z1 into conjugate of z2 the whole. Now this is less than equal to the square of the modulus of z1 plus the square of the modulus of z2 plus 2 into modulus of z1 into the modulus of conjugate of z2 now we know that the modulus of the conjugate of z is equal to the modulus of z therefore the modulus of the conjugate of z2 will be equal to the modulus of z2 therefore the square of the modulus of z1 plus z2 is less than equal to now this whole expression will become modulus of z1 plus modulus of z2 whole square now taking the positive square root this implies modulus of z1 plus z2 is less than equal to modulus of z1 plus modulus of z2 and this is called the triangle inequality now let us discuss the next property and that is the modulus of z1 minus z2 is greater than equal to modulus of the modulus of z1 minus modulus of z2 now let us prove this property now let the modulus of z1 is greater than modulus of z2 now z1 can be written as z1 minus z2 the whole plus z2 which implies modulus of z1 is equal to modulus of z1 minus z2 the whole plus z2 now this further implies now using the triangle inequality modulus of z1 is less than equal to modulus of z1 minus z2 plus modulus of z2 which further implies modulus of z1 minus modulus of z2 is less than equal to modulus of z1 minus z2 which implies modulus of z1 minus z2 is greater than equal to modulus of z1 minus modulus of z2 and if the modulus of z2 is greater than modulus of z1 then modulus of z2 is equal to modulus of z2 minus z1 the whole plus z1 implies modulus of z2 is less than equal to modulus of z2 minus z1 the whole plus modulus of z1 that is further triangle inequality which implies modulus of z2 minus modulus of z1 is less than equal to modulus of z2 minus z1 which implies modulus of Z2 minus modulus of Z1 is less than equal to modulus of Z1 minus Z2 which further implies modulus of Z1 minus Z2 is greater than equal to modulus of Z2 minus modulus of Z1. Now let us see equation number 1 and this be equation number 2. So from 1 we get modulus of Z1 minus Z2 is greater than equal to modulus of the modulus of Z1 minus modulus of the Z2. Now let us discuss the next property and that is the modulus of quotient of two complex numbers is the quotient of their modulus that is the modulus of Z1 over Z2 is equal to the modulus of Z1 over the modulus of Z2 where Z1 and Z2 are two complex numbers. Now let us prove this property. Now we know that the square of the modulus of Z is equal to Z into the conjugate of Z. Therefore the square of the modulus of Z1 over Z2 is equal to Z1 over Z2 into the conjugate of Z1 over Z2 which is further equal to Z1 over Z2 into the conjugate of Z1 over the conjugate of Z2. Now Z into the conjugate of Z is equal to the square of the modulus of Z. So here this will be equal to the square of the modulus of Z1 over the square of the modulus of Z2. Thus the square of the modulus of Z1 over Z2 is equal to the square of the modulus of Z1 over square of the modulus of Z2 which implies the modulus of Z1 over Z2 is equal to modulus of Z1 over modulus of Z2. So in this session you have learnt about the properties of modulus of a complex number. So this completes our session. Hope you all have enjoyed the session.

You're gonna see it on the right-hand side master of probability You can get master of probability for one month for a hundred and forty nine dollars You get it for six months for six ninety five Which is the savings of a hundred ninety nine dollars or 22% and you can get it for one full year for eleven ninety five Which is the savings of five hundred ninety three dollars or thirty three percent now They all come with a thirty-eight bunny back guarantee So the bottom line is that you can go over there You can check it out Steve has a huge amount of information on It'll be your page when you get over there that you really understand how Steve looks at the market every trading day Huge value big time Steve Rhodes. What's going on? Well, just enjoying the heat of the summer so to speak yes Yes, I went out I hadn't played golf for a couple months because of my trip overseas Yeah, finally got out yesterday or on Saturday, you know playing golf in Florida in the summertime It's the only thing I could do where I can go out play a game of golf and come back four or five pounds lighter You know That's for sure. Well Rory wasn't four or five pounds lighter. That was freezing over there. Wasn't it? Yeah, you know That's that but what I really an extraordinary match over in Scotland You know, he the two shots that he had to hit to win the tournament on 17 and 18 were really, you know, amazing shots I think he I think I saw an interview Last night where he thought that maybe I was one of the but one of the better shots in his life Yes, no, that's what he said You know it was a shame if you didn't see this folks, okay I mean he's he's amazing anyway But and the pressure was on and he needed this last birdie and he got it and I can understand why that the cameras Couldn't get it because everyone was around the 18th, right? Did you see that like everyone's sitting there wait like oh, no I can't believe we can't see this shot I know yeah, and then and then the way he reacted folks was so cool because he I just there's a couple different things you can take from that like oh my god I actually finally did it. Oh, yes, that was just a classic like oh, I love it. That was pretty cool Then it was a good good sports day overall, you know for summertime with that with Wimbledon You know great match between oh, yeah, and and and crazy Yeah, you know really and then you guys are really scored with messier. I mean this is a whole different ball game Man Friday night is gonna be insane over there. Yeah. Yeah cheapest ticket 200 bucks. That's the new league section So I'll go down there. I'm just gonna wait. Yeah, it's worth it. Yeah. Yeah, I mean I got I'm not even into soccer But guess what that's what happens with a messier, right? Yeah, you watch him play and so it's gonna be perfect for it's gonna be perfect for South Florida So looking forward so at the first charts that actually have up on my screen It wasn't really preparing on discussion It's but it actually kind of follows through with with the with the discussion I want to have today and that discussion is has gold made a major bottom But you were talking about earlier just before I came on you know If we can figure out what the US dollar index is doing then you can figure out a number of other elements in the market So what I've got up here I've got the futures contracts for the euro the yen and the great British pound the three Currencies that are gonna impact the US dollar index more than anything more than the loony or the the Swiss Corona the Frank. Yes here if we take a look at the euro, which is the upper left-hand side I've got the futures contract up the same thing if we looked at the currency pair today is going to form bar number 8 Tom of what I refer to as a TD 9 count pattern Okay, and 90% of the time when bar 8 successfully makes the high of that pattern here We're talking about tops it will go out and actually complete the pattern What needs to take place tomorrow is the close needs to be above the close of this bar bar number 5 and that close on the futures Contract was at 1.1 176 odds favor that this will complete a TD 9 count top tomorrow Regardless of whether price trades higher or lower now the pattern itself doesn't complete until Wednesday It can form on the bar following bar number 9 So the euro is signaling to you and I to prepare for the US dollar index to form some type of bottom With I think it's about 57% for the euro if we take a look at the Japanese yen You got to kind of reconfigure this here because I'm using the future contract But here's what I really want you to know about this is prices made a rally Right up to the solid green line and that is the breakdown resistance level So that is held sometimes a pattern can be just getting back to support or resistance So in this case here the yen has gotten back to a resistance level But if we take a look at the great British pound we see a to be equal CD patterns for both the euro and the great British pound But the great British pound is going to complete a TD 9 count top today It's gonna confirm that pattern today. It'll complete the pattern tomorrow So what should take place here Tom? We take a look at the great British pound and the euro both of those should pull back to their to their green Oscillator on change lines out there. So that should at least we should see some type of rally I believe it would begin by about Wednesday or so in the market for the for the US dollar index I just thought I'd throw that out there any questions about about that those shirts. No, no, no Perfect. Okay. So let me change windows here because what I thought we would do is I would that's weird Okay, here we go get to my screen. Okay And the question that I posed for everybody out there is has gold major major has gold made a major bottom So here's what I take a look at what one of the things that I know and folks You can go back there and study this too when gold makes a major top same thing for the S&P 500 It does so in all the major currencies at about the same time usually right on the same day Gold priced in US dollars generated its all-time high the week of August 7th all the way back here 2020 Whereas gold priced in euros yen great British pounds, they've gone on to make newer highs So the point of this chart is we have not seen an all-time high in US dollars Not based upon the fact that the markets when they do top they'll do it all at the same time this is gold priced in all major currencies here I've got the yearly charts out here and They real bull markets we're gonna see price rising all at the same time So that's something to take into consideration here if I go down from a yearly chart Tom to a monthly chart We can see the rally off of the 2018 August lows out here rallied right into August of 2020 It shouldn't be August 2020. I don't think it was August. It was July of 2020 might have been August So the August 2020 top out here then led to a bottom for gold price in euros yen and pounds in March of 2021 so what people to notice is the left-hand chart here is in US dollars On the upper left-hand corner Then we've got it gold priced in in euros on the upper right-hand corner then in yen on the lower left Pounds on the lower right and what I want folks to really pay attention to is when the low in the other Currencies took place and that was in March of 2021. You can see that in the bottom left here Whereas inside the US dollar that didn't take place until November of 2022 out here So what we can see here is that? Gold has been rallying in euros yens and pounds since that bottom It's something to really consider now we take a look at gold here It's going to make new all-time highs again pricing euros yen and pounds, but not so in terms of US dollars again This is just telling us a major top is not formed for gold. This is the monthly chart for gold This shows that it's rally from 1999 to 2011 during a major bull run out here The important thing to take a look at here is on a monthly basis all those Retracements were two bar knee jerk reaction lows and if we take a look at where we're at right now What took place in June? We had a two bar move to the downside It's why I put all that together that is it indicates to me that we may have the potential for a major bottom That is going to start in gold and move to the upside. This is the daily chart for gold It generated a wave number seven bottom if you take a look at the daily time frame It generated a TD nine-count bottom They go gets over a generator roads meant to mitigate her bottom the weekly charts are have broken through resistance levels I believe time that gold has made a major bottom and folks It's very easy to get Steve's newsletter come over to our website at TFNN You're going to the newsletter is gonna see it right on the right-hand side Steve you have a great one safe one Of course, we look forward to the show tomorrow morning. Thanks Tom. Thanks, man Stay right there folks who come right back


A Tiger, Financial News Network, EFNN, headline, news update. Good afternoon everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida. One PM Eastern time on Wednesday, three hours left to go on the trading day, and we got some volatility to the downside in the market so far. S&P is currently negative by 21 points, trading at $2,802, you get the NASDAQ negative by 75 points, trading at $7,616, and the Dow off 142 points, trading at $25,515. Notes and bonds, much the same, higher price and lower yield. Ten-year note, up 10 ticks, just ticking the nine as we speak, $124.22, 30-year bond up 23 ticks, $149.27 in the dollar index, up 100 ticks, trading at $96.325, you got oil, negative $0.49 at $59.45, and gold off $3 at $13.1130. We'll start it off, and we're going to start it off actually with those oil numbers. So this morning, 10.30 a.m. Eastern time, you had the EIA inventory numbers for crude. You saw a build of 2.8 million barrels. The estimate had been a decline of 2.5, so a lot bigger build than you would expect.  One of the things that was in this report I wanted to highlight, refinery utilization, having to do with a number of maybe fundamental factors, they expected an increase, refinery utilization decreasing 2.3. So jumping over to the charts, and we're going to start it with crude oil. So there is your gap, I'll get it on the chart, close that, excuse me, there's your gap on the inventory numbers at 10.30 this morning, so you had crude basically trading right at $60 on the spot as we came out, and in the span of about the next hour and a half, crude trades under $59 to a low of $58.81, currently trading $59.31, Dow $30, we were up there around the opening bell at highs of $25,774, we're now trading $25,538. Excuse me, well, caught in my throat, NASDAQ 100 trading at $7305, early in the session trading there $7395, so you're talking about a solid 90 points, and S&Ps as well, highs made just around the market open, we'll call it $2828, currently trading $2802, so almost a full percent from where we were trading at as the market opened this morning, and we'll see where we go from there. And to get into the rates, there's going to be the rates, no, WB maybe, I believe, there we go, so there's your 10-year folks, 2.368%, and that is a low on 12 months. Stay tuned, Steve Rhodes coming up right now with the Trader's Edge. Have a great Wednesday, everybody.


Welcome to the Westport Basin Parallel Relief Sewer Line Virtual Community Design Meeting. Your project manager is Walter Norwood. If you can see the chat, which I don't think the call-in users can. His contact information is there. His number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. And the link to the project page is also in the chat if you can see that. And I am going to pass this over to Walter. Hello, my name is Walter Norwood, as Sally said. This is the Westport Basin Parallel Relief Sewer Line Virtual Community Design Meeting. This is a design meeting. We haven't completed the project design yet or hired a contractor to construct it. This meeting is to present it to the citizens and get your input. Also, I'm going to do introductions today and talk about the project overview, the project area. And we're going to go over some frequently asked questions. Again, I'm Walter Norwood. My email address is on the screen. Walter.Norwood at Fort Worth, Texas.gov.<PHONE_NUMBER>. We also have the engineering design consultant from RJN, Chris Brooks, with us. We are doing this project because the existing sewer that serves this area needs to be replaced. And it needs to be increased in size. The existing 36 inch diameter sewer will be replaced with a 40 inch, 48 inch diameter sewer. The 48 inch sewer will parallel the Trinity River as the existing sewer does. A picture, if you can see the screen, shows the approximate route of the sewer line. It begins at Oak Forest Drive and Dennis Drive in Fort Worth, extends to the north and west along Westworth Village and to Crosses White Selmont Road and State Highway 183. It ends near the falls just south of the Naval Air Station. This map shows the Trinity Trails, which we're also paralleling since we're paralleling the river. There are three trailheads involved. The one at Dennis and Oak Forest, the one at the Westworth Village City Hall, and the one at Pumphrey Drive. We're going to divide this project into two parts for construction. The first part goes from Oak Forest to White Selmont Road. The graphics on the screen show the approximate route of the new sewer line. The second part will begin at White Selmont Road and continue on to the north and west. It will cross down Sky Acres Drive and follow the city limits for Westworth Village, crossing the levee and the waterfall area. So this would be the second construction package after we get ready to take bids. We mentioned the trailheads at Oak Forest, Burton Hill Road and Pumphrey Drive that are going to be impacted to some extent by this project. So there will be some temporary closures for the access from the trailheads as we pass through. We're going to try to keep those open as much as possible. Hopefully all the time, but there may be some closures, and we'll provide signage and other information for when those closures are going to occur. We mentioned that this is going to be a 48-inch diameter sewer transmission main. A sewer transmission main are larger pipes, Fort Worth, they're larger than 18 inches, and they're designed to move large quantities of sewage that's collected from the smaller distribution mains to the treatment plant. Large sewer mains are also called interceptors. This main serves Fort Worth, Westworth Village, White Selmont and the Naval Air Station joint reserve base. Your sewer service will not be impacted by this project. We will keep all the sewers working while we're working, and there won't be any disruption in your service. So as I mentioned, this project is still in the design phase. We expect to finalize the design and advertise for bids in 2024 for Part 1. And then meanwhile, we'll continue working on Part 2 and it will be bid separately after that. And we expect it to again in 2025. The construction for each part should last about 18 months. After we select a contractor for each part, we'll have another meeting, another public meeting for you to meet the contractor. We're going to host a second design meeting for Part 1 and Part 2. On the 22nd this coming Monday at the West Worth Village City Hall at 6pm. This will be an in-person meeting. We'll bring drawings and we'll be at the meeting. So you can ask us questions directly and see the drawings we've prepared so far. If you want to get more information about this project, you can go to www.fortworthtexas.gov. Fort Worth Texas is all spelled out. And then you can type in the project number. This project number is<PHONE_NUMBER>36. You can put that project number in the search bar on the home page. The West Fort Basin Parallel Relief Sewer Line should pop up. To get project updates, scroll down to the bottom of the project page and click on subscribe to this page. There's also a link to the project map and the project summary frequently asked questions on that page. So again, my name is Walter Norwood,<PHONE_NUMBER> and Walter.Norwood, N-O-R-W-O-O-D at Fort Worth Texas.gov. If you observe any type of a water emergency, water or sewer, you can call this number 24 hours a day,<PHONE_NUMBER> and select option 1. If it's a non-emergency between 7am and 7pm Monday through Friday, you can call the same number. The city is closed on holidays. You can also download the MyFW app on the App Store or Google Play and you can report sewer overflow leaks and water main breaks in that app. Along with any other concerns you have related to the water system. There are other ways to make a report. You can text, hello, H-E-L-L-O to 817-835-MYFW and type in a phrase like streetlight out and the request will go directly to the specific team or department for a quick response. You can also go online at www.fortworthtexas.gov. Departments, communications, customer care, scroll down to the report online easily tab. Scroll through the topics and select one that fits your situation. For example, water pressure issue. Click on that, type in the street address, then follow the prompts. So that's the end of this presentation and we are prepared to take your questions. Okay, Walter, I'm going to unmute each of the call-in users one by one. You're not going to know who you are, but this is call-in user two that I'm unmuting. Okay, I'm unmuting call-in user three, four, and five. Anyone has a question? Go ahead and ask it. Do we have any questions? I have a comment that I was unable to get the password to work to attend this online, so I'm having to call in. So I don't know if other people are having that same problem or not. So could you repeat the, our concerns are obviously water pressure and disruption of services. Could you repeat what we need to do if we have a problem during this process? And I know you don't intend for there to be disruptions and problems, but there could be life happens. And so if you could repeat that information, I would like to get that jotted down better. Sure. So I'm assuming you live in Fort Worth. Yes. You can, to report any issues with your water, you can call<PHONE_NUMBER>. And that will get you to a person to help you. And then the at the Fort Worth app law so we can report things that way. Are you interested in the app from the app store? It's my FW. Thank you. And again, this question. Yes, I live here on Sky Acres. Was Sky Acres the second part of the project? Yes, actually, we are looking at Sky Acres as a route. Or for part 2 of the sewer line. Okay. Is there a projected start date on that? The target date is 2025. Okay. All right. I also want to comment that I also had the same issue with the WebEx. It wasn't working properly on Monday then you said you would have drawings of where this pipeline would go. That's correct. Yes, we'll be at the. At the West Worth Village City Hall and we'll have drawings. Is there anything to share online or email to a resident? We can send you the maps in this presentation. Actually, they're all on that project page. Did you get that link? Did you hear that? Is it that? No, I didn't. I was, I was trying to log on to WebEx and I just decided to call in. Okay. Let me ask you one question first. The meeting password is 10836. And you're saying that one did not work? I'm sorry, what? Right. 10836 did not work? No. Okay. We'll have to contact WebEx because that is the correct password. So we'll do that in the morning. Okay. The Fort Worth website is fortworthtexas.gov. And once you open that, if you go to the top of the page in the search bar, just type in 100836. And that should bring up the West Fork Basin Parallel Relief sewer line. Great. Thank you. Okay. Okay. Any other calling users have questions? Well, I just had an additional question here on, for the project on Skyacres. When you say running Parallel with the Trinity River. Is that going along our street in our backyards? How's that going to work? Well, the existing sewer is actually in your backyard along the base of the levee. And the Corps of Engineers has asked us to move the sewer away from the levee. And so the next closest place where we can find a movement is actually in the road. We're going to run it down the road. Okay. So they, so if it's going in the road and you are correct, the sewer is in our backyard. I've never seen it, but any evidence of it near my neighbors. How will each home be connected to that? Or is that going to be done down the line? Well, what we've discussed is. I can't connect you directly to this 48 inch sewer. But what we're, what we're discussing is building a smaller 8 inch sewer. A collection sewer and connecting that to the 48 inch. At a certain point. So we would build a new sewer for our main and then a new smaller sewer for the residents to connect to. So our backyards wouldn't be disturbed or anything like that. Right. That's correct. Well, all right. You may have to reroute the sewer towards the new sewer in the road. Some people may be connected to the older mains that are in the backyards. We've discussed rerouting it into the street. So your service line may be rerouted. Okay. All right. Well, yeah, that's until 2025. So we'll. We'll tackle that when we get there. I appreciate it. Do we have any other questions? Colin. Maybe I don't have any more questions. I don't know what user them, but I am right now. I'm in the river district. So we're across the river from the actual action. But our neighborhood is concerned, you know, we all want our water pressure to behave and obviously we are sewer lines to work. So. It sounds like this will be an ongoing information gathering as y'all get to the next step. So you're in council district seven, right? Yes. Okay. Okay. Walter, can you go back to the, I'm sorry, you're on the page. I was going to say, I know you guys can't see it, but as he said, it's www.4texas.gov. Then type in the project number 10836. We will have this WebEx video linked to the page by end of day tomorrow by five o'clock tomorrow. So you can actually watch the video since you couldn't see it tonight and please share that with your neighborhood association members and your neighbors so that they know what's going on. You can also, I think we said this, you can also attend the Westworth Village meeting that is in person as Walter said. You can look at the plans. You can ask questions. It'll be the same presentation, but you can ask questions yourself. Okay. Thank you. Walter, do you have anything else? Walter? No, thank you for attending the meeting. And I thank you everybody. Thank you. Good night. Thank you very much.


Prime Minister of St. Lucia, Honourable Philip J. Pierre, members and staff of the Office of the Prime Minister, and members of the media, good morning. And thank you for coming to our pre-cabinet briefing. As you know already, my name is Monde Lois, but this morning I'm in a different capacity. But I want to thank you all for our last two years of being together. Thank you for your cooperation. I can say that at no time were you ever resistant to sharing the work of the Office of the Prime Minister, despite our wranglings at times. I think we're always amicable, respectful, and it has been a pleasure for me as Press Secretary for the last two years to share and grow with you in the position. And I really count it an honour to have worked at the Office of the Prime Minister and to serve the Prime Minister himself. It is one of my highest honours, and I thank you all for making my journey over the last two years really enjoyable and educational. I must say it was a steep learning curve for me, but no, I think I did well. But my contract has come to an end, so I again would like to thank you all for your support, and again thank you Prime Minister for supporting me, for choosing me, for having faith in me throughout this journey. But all is not lost. We have some good news today, so I would hand over to the Prime Minister to inform you. Honourable Prime Minister. Thank you, thank you Monde. Good morning again. Good morning, thank you Monde. I want to really thank Monde for spending the last two years with me in the Office of the Prime Minister. You know sometimes it was not very easy, with you guys not very easy. But I want to thank her, and I would do the on this morning to tell her how the job of Press Secretary is very easy, because you have to take all the bad things the Prime Minister does. But if she did well, I was very pleased. And I want to introduce my new Press Secretary. I think it's, I want to introduce you, Melissa Paul, who is the new Press Secretary. She started work officially today. So I thought since you are the one serial dealer, I thought I would bring it to you myself and tell you to treat her well, Melissa. Thank you, sir. Ladies and gentlemen of the Press, esteemed colleagues, I stand before you today with immense gratitude and a profound sense of duty, as I am back on this journey as Press Secretary to the Prime Minister of St. Lucia. Honourable Philip J. Pierre. It is a privilege to serve as the Prime Minister's voice and facilitate a new era of collaboration between the government and the media. As a linguist and a former journalist, I understand the power of words, the importance of context, and the value of accurate information. My background has taught me that communication is not just about conveying a message. It's about building and understanding and trust. It's about forging connections and ensuring the voices of the people are heard. Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you. And I assure you that we will be providing you with a press kit later today with more information. Yes. Back to Monday morning. Yes. Yeah, to the Prime Minister, recently you are the police station out of your fort. In light of that, I just wanted to know some updates on maybe the custody suites and the all-of-justice. And for the all-of-justice, I know you said it will be placed somewhere, but I haven't seen any. Well, custody suites have started. Work is going on the custody suites as we speak. It has started. I understand that it's supposed to be about nine months to a year. I hope it happens before that. But work is actually going on in the custody suites as we speak. Work on the grossly divisional headquarters. The contracts either have been signed or in the process have been signed. And again, work should start on the grossly or on the divisional headquarters for the police, for the northern branch of the police. It should start before the end of the year. It's a huge complex and I'm very proud of it. It's going to give the police some environment where they can work and produce. I'm very happy for that, just as we thought. The halls of justice, as I said to you, it's a NIPRO project. It's going to be funded by NIPRO. The last I heard was finalizing as a bold agreement. The government will be, after the loan has been paid, the government will get the building, same as the Ministry of Infrastructure. And then I think that they are making the accelerations for the soil tests. And that should start, hopefully, early in the new year, by January. And while we're doing that, repairs on other police stations will be happening because of police stations who, as you know, in the states, some of them needed repair. And these stations were built between the years from 1998, 1999. So they are going to be looked at. So this is a question on the police infrastructure. Just one follow-up on that note. Unfortunately, another guy lost his life before yesterday. But I just want to know, is NIPRO still considered an escalator? Yes, still, before the study. It's greater. Crime areas, still, the law is still in effect. And before the study. Do you think the police are using that deal to be full of some escape amenities to quell? You see, as I said, I think the majority of policemen are doing their best. But, you know, you can't police 24 hours a day. You can't know it's almost impossible. The police are trying. There is need for improvement in anything. There is nothing is perfect. But again, the senseless loss of life, we have to find ways to resolve our conflicts. We have to find ways to resolve our conflicts. And many things are not helping. When an atmosphere of disinformation and atmosphere of slander and as well as misinformation is being perpetuated. It's been, you know, people reacting in different ways. But I think that good sense will prevail. I think the situation is not yet under control. It's far from under control. But we are trying. We've just got four drones from the Taiwanese government, which will be put into effect very shortly. Drones will help. Drones is the mother way of crime fighting. We've got four of them, which we will put into. We will put to work shortly. So it's a work in progress. Again, I won't thank the police for what they do. It's not easy. But it's a work in progress. It's a work in progress. But I'm not dissatisfied. I think one murder is too much. But it's work in progress, which we are. On Friday, it was announced that Tenochon wanted to host a quick and woke-up game, situating woke-up games next year. I don't think you can give any details surrounding that deal towards these games. And if not, just speak to the economic impact that such a tournament can have. Well, I was actually at the UN when I got the news, when it came to me. I understand we have four group stage matches, correct? We're excited about it. There is a nexus between cricket, these major sports events, and the circulation of money in the economy. We expect every hotel room to be filled, just as the jazz festival, the spillover effect, every hotel room is going to be filled. We expect that. We expect visitors to come from far and wide. We still have an issue of regional transportation. We still have an issue. That is something that we have to work on. But I also think the publicity the country will get throughout the world, the country sent to Lucia, because part of the contract is that the country sent to Lucia is going to be shown, the beauty of our country, the sights and seas of our country, that's going to be shown. So the impact of that advertisement loan, of that exposure loan is worth millions and millions of dollars. So I'm very excited about it, but I'm sure the ministers of sports will give you more details about it. Yes, Mr. Prime Minister. One of the pressing issues that the administration was faced with, the road conditions, and you barring the environmental conditions, what has been, what will you say has been the update on the road conditions, specifically the millennium highway? The millennium highway, I was, I drove there on Sunday when I came from the airport. I noticed there had been some work being done there. Some part of the road has been, at least, the first level of resurfacing has happened. I expect to have a delegation from the Caribbean Development Bank early next week for discussion. As you know, the last time I visited, I gave them a six-week deadline. These six weeks ago, I ended this week, I noticed something has happened, but I would like them to be more progress, but something is happening. And when I get the updates, when the CDB comes, I'll be able to give you more information about something is happening. So you say you expect more developments? I expect them to move with greater ease going forward, because something has happened. I don't know if you've been there recently, some part of the road has been resurfaced, something has happened. I say to move forward because I'm not very happy with them. I've told them so. We will ensure that the people of San Lucia all beat grand funds. All beat grand funds, but still for that, the confidence of the donor must be maintained. So we are working with them, and hopefully when I get the update next week, I'll be able to give you more information. One quick comment. They run me the project. I know there's been some contracting arrangements and whatever, but there are seven key areas, like the bus stops, the rain falls, people cannot go to the bus. Would there be any agreement? The road will be made. You made $50 million half mile road? Well, I don't know. But this road will be made, the project has been. Our position, you know, I don't know why. Our position has been clear, you know. You know, we seem to, our position has been very, very clear, very, very clear on the grocery road highway, very clear. We left government in 2016 with complete approval and loan financing for the completion of the grocery highway from shock to grocery. Complete funding in place, loan in place, everything in place. The government changed in 2016 and these plans were aborted. Aborted in favor of doing the road in pieces by direct award. The previous arrangement was a contractual arrangement that had to go to public and international tender. That was aborted. We returned to government in 2021 and we decided that we are not at this time continuing with the project between Rodney Bay and Grozidi because we thought to spend between 50 and 20 million dollars on less than a mile a road with no plan was not a situation we could have tolerated. So we stopped it. Right now, we are in discussions with the Q it to go back to the original plan. The news that I have is that a statement should be done very shortly for the extension of the road between shock and Marisol. That should be funded by the Q it is. The other section road we are seeking for the finance either from OPEC or from the Caribbean Evan Bank. The Caribbean Evan Bank has agreed to look at it because everyone knows that the productive time that is lost on this highway is causing a strain on the productivity of the country. Why the road was stopped? We've got absolutely no reason and no one is asking why. For road that had been funded, no one can deny that road was had been funded. The funding was there. In fact, I have to reset this thing so many times or not only these but the secondary roads and the agricultural roads were funded. What happened is the tender for the secondary roads was out. What it meant is that the secondary roads would have been completed and then the highway, the main highway done. The tender for the secondary roads, the former minister of finance wasn't satisfied, not the last one, the one before that, Dr. Kenny Anthony wasn't satisfied, so he sent it to Retender. And the day the tender's board had to open was election day, 6th of June I think, right? So that never happened. When the other government came power, they stopped it. They cancelled the loan. The same way they cancelled the loan for the LED lights which had been confirmed and approved by the CDB. We seem to be forgetting that it was cancelled. So we had to start from a fresh and they decided that they would spend, fix the road in parts. And the road debate section would of course between 50 and 20 million dollars for less than a mile of road. This is the position. So we stopped it. Clean, simple. But we understand the issues of the road. We understand that there's a lot of productivity being lost on that highway. And we hope, we hope that with what we have in place, we should start from shock to mild sail in a short time. According to the rest of the roads, very soon you'll be going to see improvements on the road surface in San Lucia very soon. And next year, next year, if I can tell tales out of school, we'll be the year of infrastructure. So rest assured, your roads will improve. I can assure you, the roads will improve in a sustainable way, in a way that doesn't cause us to get car loans to build roads in a sustainable way. Because, you know, it will not be a matter of election roads. It's going to be a matter of roads for the people of the country. And if you notice, we've done, the government has done things in stages and in steps. The first year we had a plan, the second year for health and security, which is the year we are in now. So in that year, you saw work happenings in Jude, which is going to finish at some point. You saw work happening in maternal health care, in universal health care. You saw work happening in health care in terms of what's happening with, first of all, with the children, secondly, with the adults. And we were ridiculed for seeing about our elderly. Any society that gets ridiculed for seeing about the elderly, the people who do that ridiculing have something to account for. There are more than 3,000 people in this country, I'm only 80 years old. More than 3,000 I'm only 80 years old. And we were ridiculed for seeing about them, ridiculed, but that's for another show. So you must understand, the government has a plan and the plan is working. It's working. So what's happening? You saw improvements in the health centers. You saw improvements, working progress at the OK hospital, and you saw the same Jude. The country did not start on the 26th of July, 2021. It was there before. There were people there before, you know. You want to copy the finance app to read it? I want you to show me the other section. If you show me the other section, I yield. If you can show me the other section of the finance app, I yield. Do you want to copy for you? Do you want to copy, Jerry? No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You want me to get a copy? He said there are people who are wrong on the paper. No, but no. The finance app is a public document. If you make up a announcement, just read and read it. That's it. Very good. Just read it. It fascinates me. How people just say things in this country. And they just say it. If you say that there is something in the finance app that allows a particular action, read it. That's all you're saying. Just read it. Take the finance app. It's like, you know, I'm surprised you asked me about the CIP funds. It's a pity. And these things are being said. The CIP app is clear. It's clear. The National Economic Fund is a statute, is a law. And not a law passed by us, you know. It's a law. It's in the laws of St. Lucia. CIP money goes to places. The National Economic Fund, the adjustment that we made in it is that we said the cabinet critical decision. So the National Economic Fund. Very simple. So when you talk about the National Economic Fund and considered funds, I don't know where is that coming in. First, secondly is bonds. The bonds have to be repaid. Their interest, three bonds have to be repaid. What we've done is we started a fund to pay these bonds. The last time I spoke, there were $15 million in that fund. That's the financial management of this government. That is the financial management of this government. We know we have to repay the bonds. So we set up a fund. $15 million already in that fund. That's the last time I spoke about it. And the rest says that the CIP, they have a dietary board. They can expose it to how they do. Sometimes the finance determines how it goes. So that's very simple. So all the argument about the CIP funds, I don't know why is that an argument. The law is there. There are no things I say. These are things that are in the law, Jerry. In the law. The finance act is a law. The National Economic Fund is a law. It's passed by the Parliament of St. Lucia. Why is that an argument? As I said this morning, Trump said he won the elections. Similar. Even though all the courts say he lost, he says he won. So I can't stop people from saying what they want. I can't. But I can tell you the law. CIP funds, the law. National Economic Fund, a law. The bonds goes into the considered fund. Free payment, bonds and loans. And the rest stays in the CIP for administrative expenses and for use only the fund on the direction of the election or discussion with the Minister of Finance. Very clear. Loan funds, considered funds. Very clear. Okay. Mr. Prime Minister, I want to look at the front. You just said from the UN. Yes, I was. I know a number of the issues you may be. I thought you'd ask me about it. No, I didn't ask you about it. No, that's what I wanted to do. That's what I wanted to do. I was waiting for you to ask me about it. So, what can I just tell us from the UN and what are some of the things that... The UN General Assembly dealt with the Sustainable Development Goals which passed, which we will claim in 2015 for 15 years. We are heading to 2030 and there's concern that the countries may not have reached the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals which is the quality of life. We've put in people first, exactly.  Floods, hurricanes, et cetera. So, these were the main aspects of the Sustainable of the UN Conference. These were the principal factors that we dealt with. So, all of us, all leaders from the Caribbean made up points that, listen to me, we are missing these goals because the developed countries are not meeting the promises that happened after the UN Conference. And that was the... So, every leader from the familiar region spoke about how we think we have been shortchanged by the developed countries. Basically, it was the same. And by the way, we had some sidebars. I met the President of Cuba. I met the Foreign Minister of Indonesia. I met the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia. Everybody's very excited about our youth economy. I know this doesn't make the press at all. Very excited about our youth economy. A lot of excitement there. A lot of countries are speaking about it. They think it's innovative. And generally, Salusha has a good profile. And when I travel, I feel little about the profile of my country. I really feel little. I understand the ambassador and the staff. Because it's only when you travel, you realize what people think about our country. And I'm very late to tell you about it. I'm very late. In the beginning of our country, I looked at you, some of the emotions in New York. Yes. And I celebrated my bobele with them. And we had a game. We had a very good meeting. No, no. The basic concern was about view for the crime. And I explained to them about the situation. And they also noted that the crime in New York has increased. In fact, they're complaining about the roads in New York, if you don't know. So they're complaining about the cost of living in New York. I mean, you would think we live in the same country. Sometimes you think that you want to have a perfect country. Salusha is perfect. Salusha is a continent. And everything is perfect. But they were complaining about the same thing. Cost of living, some concerns. Roads, cost of living, crime, the same thing. Issues which are worldwide. But make no excuses for us. We have to try to solve them. So what that would give them? Always the truth. Yes. Yeah, man. My question was, at the last parliament sitting, through the commerce minister, she made some revelations found out by the consumer affairs department about businesses not complying to some of the bad exemptions. And in some instances, it went beyond not only complying, but they were actually marking up the prices of sanitary parts and whatnot. Is the government going to change its tone? Yes, the government has decided that's science. It's going to deal with businesses, not only in this instance, but just future, I guess, legislative changes when you have businesses blatantly not complying. You see, all in a sudden, we want people to see they love taxes. No one ever loved taxes, you know. Any tax that any government passes, people don't like it, they don't like to pay tax. You know, the United Oktober Party government did pass a security tax. I don't know if you remember that. The United Oktober Party was the first government to pass a security levy. They were the first government to do it. And Stephen King was the minister of finance and he admitted in the parliament at a time it was the right thing to do. So they passed it. So right now, we have a big you-and-cry about the security levy, as if it never happened. Boy, Lord, what are these guys doing? They passed it. The United Oktober Party had an act on the books called security tax passed when many members of the present government were in the cabinet. That's a fact. What happened? When that came into being, we removed it. That's a fact. So the scientific product you're speaking about, we were not satisfied that the consumer was getting the benefits. I made the point that there's a difference between cost and price. There's a fundamental difference between the cost of a good and the price of a good. Continental difference.  As far as sanitary equipment is concerned, we are dealing with the level of the price now. So you've got to put it on the price control. Sanitary. Yes. Prime Minister, my question will be strictly about sanitary. I find you are happy that St. Jude is going to be built and the state is going to be going to be happy. You have so much concern about St. Jude. Now he's going to be built. You can tell me about that. Thank you. Prime Minister, have you ever visited the new facility? Yes. I saw it leaking, water oil. I saw no roof. I saw water in there. I saw all the windows, water was coming in. And I saw a report that said it was 30% complete. Yes. Not once. I was there a few weeks ago. And I also saw a report. I also saw a report from the former government that said it was 30% complete. I was just sorry. Let's go. The out of the 200-pound miller, how much exactly will be spent on stage? I have no idea because we're not doing by direct award. We're doing it by tendering. So we have to look for the tenders and out of that, we are also going to put equipment and also we're going to do the... Steady up. So tell us again. What is the tender for? The tender is for the completion of the original St. Jude building. So at this time you're saying that you have not appointed a contractor has nothing? To work a contractor has not been awarded to do... A contractor has not been awarded to do the additional works on the St. Jude Hospital as determined by the loan from the Saudis. What's happening at St. Jude now is going to be done from the local funds. Prime Minister. Yes. You went on a tour with Joshi. With Joshi who is Renault's point person on the ground. Yes. In that discussion you asked Joshi about completion of the hospital. Yes? The suggestion was one to 18 months from Joshi to you. The dialogue is clear. It's online. Are you telling me that a contractor has not been awarded? And what he says from Joshi to me, not me to Joshi. I'm glad you said it's from Joshi to me and not me to Joshi. But I'm focused. Me? I'm focused. I'm asking the question. But I've answered you. I'm telling you a contractor has not already said you've come to the hospital. Because Joshi was working come on. Come on. Joshi is working as we speak on the hospital. So I have to ask him a question. I'm not going to say it. He said it. And then I have to ask him a question. Have you ever heard the Prime Minister say also you've come to 18 months? Prime Minister. Have you ever heard the Prime Minister say that? The question was. Yes. That was a contractor. No. No. Answered you. You're looking for a different response and he's answered you that there is a 10 in the process for the completion of the hospital. Now you can move on to your next question please. You're welcome. That in the process there's an agreement. You know, I feel so. I'm surprised that these questions are coming up. There's an agreement. You know what I'm saying? Philip J.P.A. Didn't go to hospital and stretch his hands out and say he's too large or small. Philip J.P.A. never went to the hospital and said that happy hands up. And Philip J.P.A. never said so. Philip J.P.A. never said so. All Philip J.P.A. did. He had exports. The same exports who were in the hospital previously. We never changed anybody Mr. Eliot. The same exports. The 10 in the process is going to be 10 in the process. You're going to see a 10 down in his papers.  Like any other process. That's all you're going to see. Like any other process. Now what is this? Mr. Eliot. Mr. Eliot. Why are you going through the same thing all the time? You've heard for yourself in the agreement. With the agreement. Now listen to me. I've never proclaimed the wholesale exporter. I never became either engineer. Don't ask me engineering questions. Don't try to figure it and tie me up with that. I'm not going to get caught in that. You're not going to get me to answer any questions about hospital business and things. I'm the prime minister of Senusia. I'm not an expert in hospital construction. Okay. So when you have these technical questions, I'm going to say to the people who deliver it. I will. So. Yes. You are. Yes. Fine. Yes. If you have not bought enough costing based on the number of bets, how did you decide on the thing? Because Mr. Eliot. Mr. Eliot. Yes. If you have not bought enough costing, how did you go forward? Can you read my mind? Do you have it in my mind? And secondly, naturally it is of cost. It is based on the number of bets. Are you telling me that at this present moment you as minister of finance I never said so. I told you look in the agreement. I said look in the agreement. Do you see what it says? There's an agreement. What's your question? The question was. According to the agreement, it's going to be 100 bed hospital. But that's what it's all saying. There's nothing new in that. That's public. There's been nothing secret about hospital. You know, nothing secret. We never, the statement. And I know you like your man of great research. Look at the statements on the hospital. They've been consistent. We've never made any opinion on us if you didn't get professional advice. I've never pretended to be an expert in hospital business or engineer not. The full set of advice came from a group of experts. They are the ones who made the recommendation and the cabinet accepted it as a full set. Too late. It's too late now. Don't worry. We're not going back there. We are going. The decision of the government is that we are going to work on the original buildings and the box is going to be preserved for the use. It is not being paid. There's not not a cent because there's them. The present man cannot, the condition of that, that it can be paid retroactively.  We have to account for what's happening. So part of it is that it's not going to be used for retroactive payments. But, you know, sometimes I wonder, we've made it clear, nothing that was not valuable before. There is no, there is no evidence.   The finance act can read it. National economic fund, you can read it. Simple things. If there was made a point again, let me make a pollucid declare. Any item that was non-vattable or it was zero rated, or there's that exam, shall attract no health and security levy. The health and security level is at two points. One in the customs. So when the goods come to the country, that health and security level, it is charged at the customs. There is no change in any software for anybody, those who import. At the services level, we did make some amendments. We said that if you are providing service, legal services, you can't get tax on the stamp beauty. Okay? So we removed it. So the taxation, the consideration doesn't include the stamp beauty. That was to support the consumer. And then he said, then 200% levy will come at that point. But we recognize it will take some time. So we extended it to October for the services. But for the imports, that's been happening from the 4th of July. That's been happening. I don't think you know it's happening. You will take the final question. Prime Minister, on that same question, I have here a copy of the legislation that was passed in Senate of the health and security levy. Which one? You may have made. And it says here. No, be careful. There are amendments. We shall make you talk about them. It says here, Chapter 44, excerpt tariff number 44.01, and related subheadings, wood, and articles of wood, woodchapel. That is the actual legislation. That is not one. Is that an amendment? Let me read it for you. No, it's not one you hear of. Is that an amendment? It is. The bill for consideration. Is that an amendment? There's no amendment. No, it won't be there. It won't be the next step. But it is in the legislation. No, the legislation is not wrong. Last week. I am the official who was amended several times. Oh, there's something. So the legislation is wrong. We're not perfect. I never said so. We're not perfect. You see? This is the answer. Listen to me. Miss, miss, listen to me. Can I answer you? Can I answer you? Go ahead. We're not perfect. If we've decided, if we've seen, all legislation, that is legislation that deals with thousands of products. Listen to me, please. That legislation deals with thousands of products. Thousands. If we have realized that something has slipped through the cracks, we'll amend it. We're not perfect. The same way if we had paid for vaccines and we hadn't got the money, we would have come and said, listen to me, we made an error. We're not perfect. I'm very surprised to answer about your vaccine money. Yes.


QuickBooks Online 2024 Management Reports Customization. Get ready and some coffee because we're doing some quick thinking with QuickBooks Online 2024. Here we are online in our browser searching for QuickBooks Online Test Drive looking for the result that has Intuit.com in the URL, Intuit being the owner of QuickBooks, selecting the United States version of the software and verifying that we're not a robot. Opening up our reports like we do every time, reports on the left hand side in the favorites, right clicking on the balance sheet, open link in new tab, right clicking on the profit and loss, open the link in a new tab. Let's go to that middle tab. We just opened close up the hamburger change that range going from 010123 tab 123123 back to 2023, running to refresh it, tabbing to the right, closing the hamburger. We're going to change the range on the profit and loss or income statement as well. The ranges they are changing going from 010123 tab 123123 tab, run it to refresh it. Let's go back to the balance sheet. That's been the report that we have been focused in on in this section. We've been thinking about in a prior section once we save our reports. First, a word from our sponsor. Yeah, actually, we're sponsoring ourselves on this one because apparently the merchandisers, they don't want to be seen with us.  Like this CPA thinking cap, for example. CPA thinking CAP, you see what we did with like with the letters and this CPA thinking cap is not just for CPAs either. Anyone can and should have at least one possibly multiple CPA thinking caps. Why? Because based on our scientific survey of five people, all of whom directly profit from the sale of these CPA thinking caps wearing this CPA thinking cap without a doubt, according to the survey increases accounting productivity tenfold. Yeah, at least. Yeah, apparently the hat actually channels like accounting energy from the quantum field ether directly into your head, allowing you to navigate spreadsheets faster. It's kind of like how in like the matrix when Neo learns kung fu or at least that's what the scientific survey saying. So get one because the scientific survey participants could really use some extra cash. If you would like a commercial free experience, consider subscribing to our website at accountinginstruction.com or accountinginstruction.thinkific.com and generate our reports. How can we provide them to our client, which I'm usually thinking in terms of a bookkeeper, but you also have a similar situation if you're trying to batch your reports possibly given it to an external user, possibly an accountant, or possibly like a supervisor, the presentation of the reports is going to be very important if you're giving it to someone such as a client. So you might do it periodically, monthly, quarterly or yearly. And we thought about all the different ways or many different ways that we can basically create even just this one balance sheet report with comparative reports and summary reports, vertical analysis, horizontal analysis and so on. So we note that we can give it to a client by emailing it, we can print it and provide it to them in mail or by hand as well, but it's more likely that it's going to be some electronic format these days. If we email it to someone, we would like to at least put the attachments in order and or zip a file. We also could put it on a cloud drive, saving it as a PDF file or even an Excel file and putting it on a cloud drive. We could use Excel to actually put all the sheets on one page and then Excel can be used along with a PDF printer to print all the documents on a one page, which is nice. We'll do that in a future presentation. The other thing we can do is we can go to the tab to the left and in the reports area. We have this manage reports here. So this does a similar thing as what I'm suggesting with Excel, trying to get all the reports on one page and give like a nice little title page in a nice format to it. So our QuickBooks provides a few of these report overviews, the company overview, the sales performance overview, and the expenses performance. We'll just look at the company overview and you can it'll be similar in terms of how they work with the other two as well. So you've got the report period. You've got this month to date this quarter, this quarter to date this year. These will basically change the date ranges of the reports basically automatically. So that is nice. And then we have the preview and then in the dropdown, we can edit it, we can send it, we can export as a PDF, export as a document and duplicate it. Now, because these three are kind of the default ones, I would think about them as the standard template and possibly not edit these ones directly, but rather either create a new one or create a duplicate of one of these existing reports and then edit that one. So you could create another one up top, create the management report gives you a template outline. Because I'm thinking that we're going to do one that's similar to the company overview, we might duplicate that one. So let's do that. If I hit the dropdown, we're going to duplicate that one and that'll give us another one. So now we've got the company overview number one. If I go into the editing, we can say, okay, what if I edit this one? It gives you a nice cover page. You see the preview on the right hand side. You can add a logo if you so choose. It's a cover report for a management report. So maybe if you're not management and you're doing the bookkeeping or something, you might change the name or financial report or something like that financial statements or something like that, you could have a subtitle here if you so choose. I'll just put subtitle so you can see where it appears on this side and report period for the period ended December 31. So it's picking up the period from the report end date and then prepared by prepared by you can put your name here and so on prepare date you have the you could put the date here and that's appearing down here on the page disclaimer for management use only so you could put then the disclaimer on it. So then we want also note that we have the dropdown up top for the periods as well. And if I change the period it should change this field because it's report end date which will change the for the period ended December 31st 2024. And I'm just going to put this like monthly financial reports or something like that. You might have a separate one for the end of the quarter which might have slightly different reports that you want to populate it with then the end of the year or the end of like any other month that's not the end of a quarter include title of the contents type include table of contents. So here's our table of contents down below and then we have the the include this page. This page is we can give a basically overview so we can type in something you know thanks for your business. I'm just putting something in there so we can see it on the PDF and see what that page will do but you can give basically an an intro or you can not include this page if you so choose. They have another page that you can format for it and then by default we have the profit and loss report and the balance sheet and those are our major financial statement reports of course and so then we can add another report here if we so choose and we can edit these reports as well edit the report title. Compare the previous year compare the previous period so we can actually do some default editing within here on these reports but we might want to make our own memorized reports and then pull them in here right is the general idea is what I'm thinking and then you have your end notes so end so I'll just say end notes and then if we don't want this end page for our closing comments we can mark off the thing as being included include a breakdown of sub accounts so I'll leave that as the default let's go ahead and save it and then if I say that we want to then look at a preview so we have the cancel we have the print and preview we have the advanced items here and this gives us the report this is telling us the report end date so that's that thing that's going to pull in the report end date when you see that there in company name is going to whenever it says company name it's going to pull in the standard company name of the company you might be able to change that here if you want something different than the standard company name you've got your header you've got your footer and then show only non-zero rows and columns I would rather adjust this part on the reports themselves and customize the reports which I'll take a look at in a second so there's the advanced settings and then we could save it and then you've got the save as export the document send and so on let's go to the preview and take a look at it so now you get this nice little title page there's not a whole lot of change you can do to this but it looks a little a lot nicer than possibly just sending out an email with a bunch of reports tied to it especially if there's a long list of them then we've got our table of contents and then we have this page which was an intro page which you don't necessarily have to put on there but if you want the intro page you could put a like a nice little introduction here then you've got your profit and loss you can see it's formatted a little bit differently on the formatting but it's pretty nice formatting and then we've got the balance sheet and then we've got the end notes which again this is a page that you can remove if you wanted to if you so choose now I'm actually going to change the report to to a custom let's do or last I'm going for last year so let's do let's see what happens with a custom report from 0 1 0 1 2 3 12 31 2 3 and so I'll run that one and save it and so now we have for the period into December 31st so given that I'm going to close this out and I'm going to imagine that we make a few reports up top let's go back up to the balance sheet and we'll make our couple actually let's go back to the first tab go into our standard reports and I'm going to go into the summary the summary balance sheet summary this one right click and duplicate or open and a new tab and then I'm going to close this out let's just do our standard formatting here I'm going to bring this back from 0 1 0 1 2 3 12 31 2 3 I'll run it to refresh it and then I would like to customize this report and go into the negative numbers bracketed and I'm going to make it red without sense and then the headers and footers I'm going to take off the report time period and report basis and then I'm going to run it and so there we have that and then I'm going to save customization and I'm calling it number one and I'm going to put this into once again a new group which I'm going to say is we did this last time that's why I'm doing this fast I'm going to say this is going to be a group of month and reports and so I'm going to add that that is now in the drop down and save it if I go back to the first tab go into my customizations refresh then this one should show up there it is let's do a couple more just so we have some material to work with let's do our standard balance sheet now so we're going to say the standard balance sheet customize it and I'm going to say let's do our standard no pennies negative numbers bracketed red headers and footers get rid of the date time report basis run it and then I'm going to save customization and I'm going to call this number two report number two and then put it into our group month end reports save it so now over here I'll refresh it and there is our second report back to the right I'm going to do it again this time let's do a comparative report for the end of this so I'm going to say 11 0123 uh no let's do 12 0123 and then I'm going to compare it to the prior period which is November and December and I'm going to say give me the percent change and the dollar change okay I'm going to name this one a comparative balance sheet I'm going to copy that and then I didn't run it let's run it there it is and let's get get rid of that looks good let's go ahead and customize or save customization and so now I'm going to say this is going to be comparative balance sheet report number three and we could go on I could keep going and obviously I would also have income statement reports I might be dealing with back to the first tab reports run or refresh so the point is I'd like to pull these three reports now into my management report let's see if we can do that we're going to go to the first tab again and I'm going to run this from 01 0123 12 3123 I want to hit the drop down edit this thing and I would like to then go into there's the uh table of contents I want to go into the reports so instead of these two reports see if I I'm going to I'm going to let me before I delete them I'll add a new one add a new report and this is going to be boom on the drop down we're going to say now I'm looking for the custom report so there's the custom report right there so I'm going to go boom there's the one I want there's the custom report I'm going to add another one and say that I want the other custom report so there's the custom reports number two and so add that one and then I'll add the next one and we're going to say custom report number three so I'll go ahead and add that and then I'm going to delete the other default reports delete I said I said delete didn't I delete the profit and loss delete okay so there we have those ones and then I might go in and edit it so I can get rid of this first bit month in reports number one so if I hit the drop down and the title I'm just going to delete this end piece so I can just get the title and within here you might even be able to run reports with different periods even though the default is the month in period but let's go ahead and save that I'm going to go into the next one and say let's make this the balance sheet just balance sheet only and then this one we'll edit that one and we'll make it the comparative balance sheet just for the there okay and so I'll do that and so that looks good and then if I go to the next page we've got our ending notes so let's preview this and take a look at what it looks like so now you get this nice little report again not a lot you can do to the title page and stuff but it's a nice little title page right and again it's better than just attaching like if you had 10 10 forms that you're adding and you didn't put them into one pdf it looks more messy so this at least looks cleaner by putting it all in one report you've got your table of contents and I've able to trim down the name to what I want and I'm able to pull in the reports that I want that have I have memorized so we're combining together the concept of memorizing reports and then pulling them in here in a systematic way which we can do that pretty quickly from month to month quarter to quarter year to year and then we have our balance sheet you can see it looks a little bit different in formatting this is the summary balance sheet then when you just print it to a pdf I think but it looks pretty nice and then you've got your this is the full size balance sheet so this is the full balance sheet and then you've got your comparative balance sheet so there we have it and then we've got our ending page so that works pretty well because this looks nicer to email it would look nicer if we give it to someone in a one drive anyway we provide it I think it would look better than a bunch of reports that are not tied together in any way and also definitely a bunch of reports that are kind of out of order obviously in practice we would add more to this not just balance sheet but reports but income statement reports equity reports and possibly sales reports and whatnot but we're just focusing in on the balance sheet right now and just giving you an idea now where does this report system fall short well you can't you can't do much customization to the to the intro page and and the and the title page and and that kind of thing although those pages look pretty nice but you can make a much more fancy title page if you were able to to use you know word or something other some other kind of software for the title page not really a big deal but that's one thing and then the reports themselves have the look and feel that the reports have and QuickBooks itself doesn't have a lot of changeability to things like fonts and and the size of the font the types of the font and different styles of of that nature so you're kind of restricted in that way as well whereas the only the other option you can do is export these reports to excel and if you did that then you have a whole then you have a whole bunch of options for formatting of the reports that would take longer of course but you can think of a similar process that you could do fairly quickly opening them up exporting them to excel and doing whatever formatting that you want to do within there and you can also think about basically making title pages within excel and any other kind of intro page that you want although that's a little bit more tedious but doable and you can integrate excel and word sometimes as well so that you can make a title page in word and then have the reports in excel and get more fancy with the reporting little touches like this however i think it goes a long way for a lot of bookkeepers and accountants because what what what a lot of business owners want and supervisors want they don't really possibly know what the accounting is right they just want to feel confident that the person doing the accounting is competent and if they don't really know exactly everything about bookkeeping just the exactness of the numbers might not be enough to impress them because they don't really understand that so you so at least giving them something that looks nice and is presented well and is organized in an efficient way and is distributed to them in a way that makes sense on a cloud drive that's secure and whatnot all that kind of stuff is going to make them feel good that you'll be around when you're needed which will typically be at the year end so the general idea here would be then whether we use the management reports whether we use excel whether we export as a pdf file whether we email and zip the files then i still think that using the customize method here of formatting our reports could be one of the one of the things we do within our system right if we list our reports here so that we know which ones they are so that we can just do whatever our process is at the end of the month in the quarter end of the year by just either printing these out batching them putting them into a folder zipping them emailing them or putting them on the cloud or exporting them to excel using excel to further format and then create our own financial report on one pdf file that we can then provide to someone or if we're using these reports to make a management report through the default manage report settings having i think this step would make it a lot easier for people to do periodically also just realize that because uh the quickbooks online doesn't have as much option with just simple editing like like different colors or or different font styles and whatnot that and that this report tool is probably used by by most a lot of people using quickbooks unless they're not using anything this is better my order of preference right it would be better to do this than just emailing a bunch of reports that are in an attachment to something it would be better to do this even than have a zipped report and then but this is probably a pretty common that people see this exact formatting from anybody who is a quickbooks person so if you're able to do a little bit more like if you exported it to excel and did something just a little bit different like even just changing the the style of the font of the title or something not going overboard but a little little tweaks like that can actually give a lot more customization and personalization and could could go a long way sometimes so so then the next step would be again exporting it to excel possibly and then doing a little bit more formatting although that's more tedious of a job we'll think about that concept in future presentations


Diga this is Dalton and Dalton is 12 years old when he was born he was color blinded but he said tonight as he was worshiping he opened his eyes and he saw his shirt and he thought he was going crazy because he can now see vibrant colors. He gives Jesus a hand of bread. Whenever I first got here like my shirt was red and I looked down and now it's orange. You've got to be pretty shaken up about this no? Yeah I'm very like this is pretty crazy like I've never seen half of these colors in my life. Lift your hands. Lord give him a healing ministry. Let him receive that heavenly touch. Dalton what are you feeling on you right now? I'm jittery. Receive a touch of God there it goes.
