The DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware, makers of better things for better living through chemistry, presents the Cavalcade of America. Tonight's star, John Hodyak. Tonight's story, The Green Wall. This is how it happened. It was the 4th of July, 1944. And the fireworks had been popular, right?  The sky rockets turned out to be Akaak and the Roman candles were 105's.  The place Normandy. And me? Well, I'm Curtis Cullin, a 102nd of Recon. A sergeant in the turret of my tank in the middle of a war. We've been moving forward and suddenly I stopped. I called Joe Dobson who was in the tank next to mine on his quadrant net. Fox 2-5. Fox 2-5. This is Fox 2-1. Sergeant Dobson, can you hear me? Fox 2-1. Fox 2-5. I got you, Kurt. What are you breaking for? Shall I call? Hedge rows, you dope. At the end of this field. See them? So what? This is Normandy, Sergeant Cullin. What's a couple of hedge rows to attack us?  Get hung up in one of those traps and the Germans will open you up like a tin can. They're on the other side of the hedge rows. Right on that side of the neighborhood. Flatfoot's gone through. Flatfoot. That's what Joe Dobson called his M5. I watched him gun her till the track screams. I was going to try to ram his tank through a Normandy hedge row. And that was no picnic. A hedge row is a solid green wall. Made out of leaves and roots and stalk and dirt.  The whole thing may be six feet high and four feet thick. And ever since we hit the beach after D-Day, those babies had gone in our way, but good. I got back to Dobson on the message.  Cut back. I tell you the Germans are on the other side. On my breath. He was maybe a hundred yards away when she hit the hedge row solid. Head on. And then she stopped dead. That tank was hung up helpless as a kitten. Belly 45 degrees up in the air. I signaled my driver to give our tanks a gun to get down there fast. It was a lifetime too late. From behind that hedge row, a Nazi hand grenade got there first. Right in the open hatch. Those guys in Flatfoot never knew what happened. When you blow up inside a tank, you do it fast. The way it was on the 4th of July of 1944. When they pulled us out of the line the next day, I had a lot of time to think about it. A lot of time. Ferrari the mechanic had been working on the turret of the Falcon. That was the name of our tank. Gus, my driver was inside and I was standing by. Okay, Kuhlin. This turret ain't never had it so good. Hey, Sides! What? What's the matter, Ferrari? I said I got your turret working like it's tough. You dreaming of something?  Okay. Go ahead, dream away. You guys griped the turret, don't pick, so what do I do? I fix it and end what? Hey, Kurt, you want I should turn over? No, come on out, Gus. Okay. This ground big enough for two? Sure. Sit down. You look rotten, Kurt. I feel rotten. Still worrying over Joe Dawson, Eddie? What do you think? Look, pal, I know how you feel, but what's grieving going to get you? Joe Dawson and I lived across the street from each other. Coach we used to call him. Don't ask me why. He sure got sore every time we did. Yeah? Now where does Coach wind up? Dead. Murdered. By a hedgerow. Kurt, you've been acting a little squirrely these last two days. Get it straight. The masses finished off that tank. That's your enemy, pal. Not no hedgerow.  Oh, look, it took them farmers hundreds of years to grow the darn things. You figured on getting rid of them overnight? We've got to. Yeah? Or how? If I knew how, I wouldn't be marking time here. Okay, you're the mechanical genius. You're the guy that's always dreaming up gimmicks. You'll get cracking, do something about it. I wish I could. I only wish I could. You're old, I was over at maintenance, sir. Okay, fuel them, sit down with the others. All right, man, let's have it quiet. A gorgeous squadron officer's in non-coms here because he's got a problem. That's more than four weeks since we hit the beach here in Normandy. They were hot as firecrackers. The Nazis are on the run. And we got tangled up with the Green Death. These Normandy hedgerows. Now this invasion is going nowhere. And it's not going to move again until we get our tanks through. We've got to get through somehow. Now you all know we can't use the roads. The Nazis are squatting up there at Sandlow just itching for us to try. We're going to have to make it through the fields. That brings us smack up against our problem. The hedgerows. We don't lick them.  Now somewhere in this army there's a man who knows how to get our tanks through those hedgerows. Maybe it's one of you. That's all you're dismissing. Well, where to next, Hanson? Oh, I don't know, Major. My maintenance men aren't getting anywhere with it. And the whole trouble it seems to me is, Major. Yes, what is it, Cuellen? Sir, I've been thinking a lot about these hedgerows. Yes?   Now go on, Sergeant. Well, sir, we've got to punch our way through. So why not a kind of thing attached to the front of the tank? You mean like a bumper? No, sir. Like a snow plow, maybe. A snow plow? Yes, sir. You get any ideas on how to make it, Cuellen? I think so, sir. Could we go over to maintenance? I'll show you what I mean. A snow plow, huh? All right, you may have something, Sergeant. Let's see if we can give it a try. At this point, we'll try anything. Let's go. Let's hear about this gimmick you dreamed up. Well, it's like this, sir. Can we move over by that tank? All right. Now, look here, Major. Get the shape of the final drive on this tank. Mm-hmm. She's round. Nothing sharp about her. What happens when we're tearing along and busting into a hedgerow? Our tank just bounces off.  I know, sir. I've seen it happen. But maybe if we put something on the front of the tank, sir, something that's sharp, it'll cut in. Like a knife blade, you mean? No, sir.  You see, this fork contraption will bite into the hedge. Loosen those darn roots from the dirt. Maybe tear a hole right through. Well, that sounds all right. I'm sure it'll work, sir. I'm positive it'll work. Oh, maybe. Why don't I let maintenance try and work with blueprint on us? Oh, sir, if we make a blueprint of this thing, it'll have to plow through a lot of red tape. Maybe even have to go to the big brass in Washington. And that'll take too much time. We've got to do something fast. Well, I'm in just as big a hurry as you are, Sergeant. I'm sorry, sir. Don't be sorry, because you're right. We don't have time to be going through channels. In this war, you're either quick or you're dead. I know all about the dead, Major. And the rest of us better be quick. You want to try and make one of these forks of yours? I've got a crazy idea to work, sir. Then hop to it. Cue them on the double. Thank you, sir. On the double. Right from the Major, I figure this hedgerow assignment ought to be a breeze. But that's where I slipped my tracks. I needed heavy metal to make that fork. Big, tough hunks of steel. There wasn't anything like that in this man's army. I tried every ordinance depot in Normandy. Not a prayer. Finally, I got a brainstorm. Got the madro of our tank out in a field. It was almost midnight.  Right in front of us, we could just see the burned-out hulk of an empire. Is that it, sir? Yeah, stop right here. All right, dismount. Yeah, sure, it's quiet. What's the matter? The masses are back in that hedgerow, they'll have a field. You sure this is Joe Dobson's tank? Yeah, I'm sure. You don't forget things like this. What's the sense of putting a toe to it, trying to get her back to maintenance? She's all burned out. We'll cut her up for scrap, use it for the fork. I figured maybe Joe would like to be in on this. Well, how'd you know it'll work? I did. Here, let's get the toe cable. All right. Hold it. What's up? Thought I heard something. Wait a minute. Sure is one bright moon. Anybody's on the other side of that hedgerow, he's got a couple of sitting ducks on this side. Wait a minute. Let's get to it and scram out of here. It's a plane player. There it is. Hey, he's pretty low. I don't know what he's coming back. Drop the toe. Come on, get in. Let's pull out of here fast. Okay, give her the gun. Big Dodson's tank out there. He got to it about five days too late. You think he got a bead on us, too? I don't think so. Well, let's don't hang around here to find out, huh? We better stick under these trees a while. Damn, Germans. Making it tough on us all the way from the beaches on in. They sure don't want us to win this war. They never figured we'd get this far. That's why we've got to be... Beaches. Holy cow, that's it. What's what? They never figured we could get this far in Normandy because they knew we'd never get to the beaches. What? Because 50 yards off every beach in this country, the masses loaded the ocean with underwater obstacles. Sharp middle spike to rip our LSTs to pieces. So? So there's our fork ready made for us. All we got to do is go down and get those spikes. Yeah, well, what about the tank out there? We don't need it, Gus. I've got a better idea. Tomorrow, you and me, we're going to fight as a boat and go fishing. What is it doing? What about this one? Oh, it's getting worse. As soon as Parody gets this demolition charge set up down there in the water, we'd better get this boat to shore. You mean not way to go down, sir, but those metal spikes after they blow loose? I don't even know if they will, Sergeant. Those prongs are buried in concrete blocks the size of a room. All right, so this wind gets any higher, and none of us will be around to use those spikes. Over here. It's Parody. Oh, there he is. He's swimming, too. All right, Parody, get home. Okay. Here you come. What? The demolition is set up. It should blow any minute. All right, let's get this boat out of here. You took long enough, Parody. What were you looking for, a mermaid? I'm a tank maintenance man-wise guy. I ain't no deep sea diver. What's this, Captain? Yes, Parody did a good job. Now what about it, sir? Can't we take a chance on this wind? Who means the left is that stuff now? Why not wait until this winds the tide, Sergeant? How do we know when that'll be, sir? We've got to get those metal spikes, Captain. It's gonna be what we're looking for, sir. I know it is. Okay, Sergeant. We go back there and get them. And after that, what? After that, sir, I start praying. If those babies work like I think they will, I've got a heavy date coming up with a hedge rope. It was the 13th of July, and in my battalion's maintenance outfit, it was a race against time. Our problem was to weld a sawtooth fork on the front of a tank so it wouldn't break off the first time we hit a hedge rope. I was standing around outside the maintenance area. Me, Sergeant Curtis Q, and a hundred and second reconnaissance squadron. I was thinking and I was worried. Hey, Kirk, what's with the disappearing act? Me and Parody looked around for you. You was gone. I took five, I saw. Two whole days I've been watching those guys slipping their tracks. I'd throw it if I didn't get out. Now move over, you've got company. Anything new over there with the tanks? No, same old rat race. What's the matter with those guys? Are the mechanics a creeper? Wait a minute, that ain't no push, pull, click, click. It's not their fault. There's a lot of angles to this thing. Parody's working that new angle of yours. How's it look? Who knows? Yeah, who knows? Look out, that guy. You see that steeple? Up on the high ground. I don't know. How far away your figure is? Maybe five, six miles. That's where we've got to get. This army's not going to go anywhere, we take that town. And you know something? There's maybe 10,000 hedgerows between us and this. Yeah. Well, here comes Major Old. I'll beat it back and see what gives with Parody. Anything happens, I'll send you a flag. Okay.  That's a new major. Nothing new to report.  Not quite that long, sir. I was at the core all morning, sergeant. They were in a stew about this hedgerow mess. General wanted to know how you were coming along. What'd you say, sir? Oh, I told him we had a natural-born mechanic on the job. Look at you. Looks like maybe you stuck yourself way out on a limb, Major. I don't think so. What do you think about us Americans? Kill them?  I've seen a lot more. We're not going to get thrown by a hedgerow. No, sir. I guess we're not. But the question is, how soon do we lick it? I don't know, sir. But I better get back to work on it. Maybe this afternoon I'll be able to... Hey, Sergeant! Kill him! Kill him! It's Gus. Maybe something's up. Let's find out. He better call me if anything's this way, Major. Parody's got it, Major. That angle of yours, Colonel, it worked like a dream. How about it, Parody? Major, this here is the baby.  Brace with this ball. You see what I mean? Only catfish, Major. I think we got it. I think this is it. I'll soon be ready to test, Parody. Well, the welding ain't all done, sir. Maybe tonight, but for sure tomorrow morning. All right, kill them. We'll try it on a hedgerow in the morning. I'll get word back to the Corps. The general will want to be in on us. That's general, sir. That's right. You worried about it? No, sir. I think this fork will do the job. I can't get much sleep again that night. I kept asking myself over and over again. Will it work? Will it work?  The general pulled into our seat right after breakfast. He looked like he hadn't had much sleep either. When we got out of the field for the big test, he called me over. Sergeant, Major Old tells me this idea of a hedgerow fork is yours. Well, yes, but lots of other guys don't get much sleep again that night. I kept asking myself over and over again. Of course. Well, yes, sir. But lots of other guys have been working on it, too, sir. Where's the tank you're using for this experiment? Up there, sir, on the rise. You know the driver? It's my tank, sir. And my driver, Corporal Gus Aberholley. He's the best driver in the outfit. He's going to smash into his hedgerow in front of us? Well, that's the plan, general. Major Old figured we ought to station ourselves behind the hedge, just like the Germans would be. That way we'll know exactly how good it is. It looks good to me, Sergeant. I think it'll work. I think my breath tight when I said that. But it was even tighter when Major Old signaled my tank and gave Gus the go-ahead. This was it. I watched Gus give my falcon the gun a hundred yards away and she's bowled downhill, both feet. Gus was driving that thing like a madman. And when she hit, something was going to have to give. I knew that. This thing had to work. It had to. That saw-tooth fork cut into that hedgerow like a knife into butter. He ripped out a whole second of hedge. The next thing we saw was the falcon busting on that hedgerow with an open gap behind her big enough to march an army through. But the army wasn't ready to march through yet.  It was less than an hour later that I got a message to report to the general, by the way. All right, Cullen. Here it is. Yes, General. We're convinced that hedgerow fork of yours is the key to Sand Low. But we need duplicates of that key, lots of them, to get this army on the move again. Now you know why I sent for you. We've got a man-sized job for you, Cullen, and ten short days to do it in. What is it, sir? Sergeant, by the 24th of July, I want every tank in the U.S. Army, M-5s and Sherman's boats, fitted up with one of those hedgerow forks. In ten days? But, General, that means maybe more than 500 tanks. You're wrong. It means more than a thousand. I'm putting you and those other men who worked with you on special orders to make these contraptions for you. This job's got top priority. Anything you need, you get. I'll see to that. Is that all, sir? I think that's enough. Oh, true, Sergeant. Well, I can't say yet, sir. I'll let you know in ten days. No, Gus, no. Take a left. We're tapping or something. Sherburgs, that a way. We're not looking for Sherburgs. I know it's a big concrete bunker half a mile down this way. We need that metal, Gus. We need it bad. Hey, Sarge, what is it, Parody? Look, children, what do you say we break for the night? All this welding lights up the place. It's bright and time-squared. You out of your mind, we got work to do. It's a work-in-a-day time. What are you trying to do? We'll fight them cherries to a strafe and party? Okay, go out and round up some canvas, Parody. We're tending up this whole area. See it? You heard me. This job's gonna take 24 hours a day. It's tough. We ain't got 25. You got to set it up, Culin. Got maybe 200 more to go, Captain. How about metal? They're going to be enough? We got demolition teams up and down the beaches, sir. Lowering up those obstacles in the water. We'll get enough. But what about time? We got three more days, sir. Three days. Without their hedgerows on their side, those Nazis don't know what they're in for. With the 25th of July, that was 26th of August. I had a feeling in my stomach that it wasn't any problem. Fending up there in the turret of my tank, I could please stand low out there. That's where we were headed. You got to have a holly and mean, our tank Falcon. And our whole U.S. Army. Sir, how much more time? One minute, Dave Chow. We sure are flanking that thing low. Air Force is softening it up. After that, we go in and take it. Marks 2-1. Marks 2-1. Here, sir. I get you. A message just came down from the General's killer. He wanted you to get it right away. A message, sir? That's right. He just said, thanks for the key. That was awesome. Thanks for the key. You get it, killer? I get it, sir. Say bye. Five, four, three, two, one. That's it. Let's go, guys. All right, you hedgerows. That's it, sir. Thank you. This year, the award of honor for the 10th consecutive year was made to the DuPont Company. This is a record of which the 86,000 men and women of DuPont can be justly proud. Their cooperation, their attention to safety, and their commitment to the safety of the DuPont Company can be justly proud. They can be justly proud. They can be justly proud. They can be justly proud. Their cooperation, their attention to safety has made it possible. This is the first time anyone has won the Safety Council's highest honor ten times in a row. But interest and achievement in safety at DuPont are as old as the company itself. When Ely Fair Irine DuPont built his mills on the brandy wine in 1802, he designed the buildings and planned the manufacture of black powder for 150 years. The safety of DuPont men and women has been a matter of the greatest importance and the most careful planning. The 10 Safety Council awards are important because of what they signify. They represent the saving of many lives and the prevention of thousands of accidents. They serve as a constant reminder to DuPont men and women in plants, offices, laboratories, and warehouses that an effective safety program is their best insurance. These awards have been won by the men and women who practice safety every moment of their working days. As they produce the DuPont companies better things for better living through chemistry. Once again, here's our star, John Holiak. John, it's good having you back on Cavalgate again. Thanks, Si. I especially enjoyed playing the part of Sergeant Curtis Cuellen on tonight's show. I'm sorry he couldn't be with us himself. But he asked me to be sure and tell everyone that he was only one of the guys who helped with the battle of the head drones. Good night. Thank you. The Night to Farm Cavalcade was written by Robert Mason Pollock and was based on the article Sergeant Cuellen Licks the Head Drows by W. L. White, which appeared in the recent issue of the Reader's Digest. Original music was composed by Sergeant Cornwell, conducted by Donald Borey. The program was directed by John Dahler. In support of our star, John Holiak, our Cavalcade cast included Les Damon, Jeffrey Bryant, Bernard Lendrow, Bill Zuker, Chuck Webster and George Petrie. This is Si Harris speaking. Ladies and gentlemen, on Saturday poppy day, your American Legion auxiliary asks you to wear a memorial poppy in honor of our war dead from the Argon to Korea. Made by disabled veterans for the help of disabled veterans and the aid of war widows and orphans, these bright red memorial flowers are the veterans' way to honor the dead as they care for the living. Wear a poppy. Give as generously as you've received. Next week, the DuPont Cavalcade will be broadcast from the DuPont Nylon plant in Steefer, Delaware. Our story, the Valley of the Swan, pays tribute to a forgotten pioneer and the lost colony of Delaware. Be sure to listen next week when our stars will be Dana Andrews and Louise Albrighton. The DuPont Cavalcade of America comes to you from the city of New York and is sponsored by the DuPont Company of Burlington, Delaware. Make it the better thing for better living. Brukella Street.

Okay looking good Billy Ray feeling good Lewis. Well, there's certainly get a lot of rain out there. No Mississippi Louisiana, and I know it's going to be going up into the Northeast, so hopefully it'll dissipate a little bit and won't be as bad as people are saying. I posted the chart of the footsie and I've also posted the chart of the This year some time between the 21st of August of this year andHH the 31st of August of 2,029. One of those years there might be a top who knows, folks today's a big anniversary but today's the day that princess Die passed away. I was on the phone withком Arch Crawford. It was very always in the morning. And accident, and it was quite sad, and of course we had to go through all the funeral stuff, but it was a big anniversary date, and I wanted to bring it to your attention. And the reason why I'm bringing it to your attention is that Arch is retired, but in his letter that week, he said that one of the biggest things that had happened as far as astrological was a situation where there would be news about unrequented love. I don't know what that meant, but I guess love that didn't come to pass or whatever it happened to be, and it happened to be on the exact date that he said it would. So it was interesting that, you know, he did that. Astrology does that, but of course it misses a lot of things too, but speaking of astrology, we're going to have Shane Smollion as our guest tomorrow, and then on Friday we will have Tim Boss as our guest. We have some new guests coming on, two folks. We're going to have Jim Bartolioni. He's one of the four top gun pilots that I've trained over the past 30 years. He's going to be our guest, and I have one of Bart's charts here in just a few minutes. We're also going to have another old favorite coming in, Mr. Joe, who loves to be on the show, DiNapoli. Joe DiNapoli will be coming back, and we're going to try to get Joe on a regular basis about once every two weeks, because he's a very good speaker, and he loves this stuff, and he's got some great information, and of course a lot of it is shorter term, which we like here because it qualifies our risk, you know, as easy as possible. So that's what's going to be looking at that. Yes, the Bart charts. Bart charts, he should trade. He puts a thing out on, I don't know what it is, Telegram or YouTube that it's called Bart's charts. Since we're talking about that, I'll bring it up here right now. He did this especially for me. I don't know if it's in Bart's charts yet, but I'm sure it will be. Let's get up here and take a look at it. This is the NASDAQ since the beginning, back in October of 1974, and remember that was the first crash day. The second crash day came in December of 74. That was the big crash. That was my big learning experience. You'll notice that the high, when the NASDAQ hit basically 5,000 back in 2000 when we had the dot-com bubble, we had it dropped just about 80%. It did drop 80%, and then of course we've had a little bit of a rally since then, but pay attention, folks, because something very interesting happened last night. You'll notice up here that Bart is talking about mathematical and patterns coming together, and you'll see the prices that he has here in the NASDAQ is 15,463 and 15,696. Folks, the high in the NASDAQ last night was 15,680. I don't know if that's close enough or not, but this is a real interesting chart. The ABCD is correct because you have to move the arrow to the right to catch the high and then to catch the low. That's the only way he could get it and put it on the chart at the same time. That is a giant ABCD pattern. As you know, we like those. Now, I don't know where the top is, and nobody else does. Well, somebody knows, but they're not telling me. But remember, we talked about the one that John Jameson did for us, and that is this one right here where we're looking at no less than four major ABCD patterns coming in to the S&P at 4610. We got as high as 46, 42, 45, 42, with the high up here is 4610. They're all the same number, green, gold, blue, and red all come in at 4610. We're not very far away from that. A little bit of good news here and there. It would probably make it without any trouble. The one thing I'm 100% sure of, folks, I mean, a little more than 100%, maybe 110% or more. I'm as convinced about this being the high for the rest of this decade as I was at the bottom in 2009 because this has just got all the earmarks of a technical bubble that you can possibly ask for. Not only that, it has the final thing that you really need, and that is it just doesn't give up. Day after day, new people come out saying, this is the high, this is the high, this is the high, and that's it. Now, what I'm going to do is I am going to, sure I'm going to try it once or twice if I get a really good entry point, then I'll take a look at it. It's all about how much I have to risk. I don't care whether the top is in. I don't get any extra money for whether the top comes in or not. I don't really care about that. I just want to get a low-risk trade. We had one today in the NASDAQ. If you follow what we teach here about 382, that's exactly what we had in the NASDAQ. It broke a lot overnight. Then it rallied back to a 38% retracement at 15,610, and then it broke 200 handles. That's $2,000. That's the type of thing. Now, if it doesn't continue to go down, then all that was was just a short-term pattern that completed. When that happens, you certainly have to respect that. Now, right before I came on the show, we had the folks from Thinkorswim, and they were talking about Softee. Let's take a look at this. You're going to see here a chart that is, if you had to buy any of the NASDAQ stocks, this would probably be the one to buy, because it went from around 60% to 500%. 500% would have been a lot better than if you'd done just the regular NASDAQ. You can see here just an absolute parabolic move. This is the definition of a parabolic move. We've had a couple of small corrections. A dollar here, a dollar there, and it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference. But it will come, and when it does, just be prepared for it. A lot of people are giving warning signs. Remember, we had Jeff, you, John, from Alpha Insights, and we've had Tim Bost on. We've had, well, Stan Harley on, and you've got me every day warning you. But don't pay any attention to it until the top is made, folks. That's the bottom line. That's what you want to be looking at. We're going to take a little break here, and then we're going to take a look at these grains out this morning.<PHONE_NUMBER>. Our kids can rise and fall like the tides.

We're back, folks, and before we get into the grains, I wanted to work on the US dollar index. I want to make sure I got this thing in here so you'll take a look at it. This is an hourly chart going back over the past month. We had that big bottom down there in August and we had the nice rally, beautiful ABCD up there at around 93.70. That's where we had a chance to get long to euro, and you'll notice here we've had this big move down, and now we're starting to get down. We're almost at the 61% retracement here in this US dollar index, and that's what we were watching this morning. And since we had that, and since we had had such a very nice move in that, and I'll get this up here to give you a rough idea, because this is the actual upside down version of that, you'll be able to see that the euro was actually making that number and making a perfect ABCD from that 382 retracement that we made back here on the 27th. Remember, we were looking to go long down there at that 117 level, and this had a 150 fifths in it, which is no small amount. And so this is why we thought it would be the best time to do it. I know those of you that follow this stuff quite a bit can see the three drive pattern that happened between the 26th, the 27th, and the 31st. It's a very nice three drive. That was also part of the reasoning to take that, and we've broken all the way down now to the, we went below the, we're back into the 117s again. So we'll be watching a good place to get back in this in the next day or so, but not today. We're going to be able to just stand aside and wait and see what's going to happen. Yesterday we had a nice long conversation with Mr. Z about the grains, the fact that they've been hit pretty hard, and the news had actually turned a bit bearish, and you can see the bearishness coming in today as you look at some of these things. The one we're going to start out with today is the nearby corn. This is the September corn. It's a maverick month, but it's still being traded. You'll see here we have an ABCD coming down here about another three or four cents lower, but the one that you want to be watching, if you're looking at corn, is to pay attention to the Christmas corn, December, because this is the one that we just had a beautiful 30-cent move in that. And when we happened to be long, that had that nice rally that lasted about five days. And you'll see now that what we're looking at here, as you look at this December corn, you'll see the high that we made back here with the ABCD was made back on August the 8th. That's when that really bullish report came out. Remember that? I mean, the thing went, we rallied 45 cents a bushel going right up to the top of the ABCD, a tiny bit above the 78% level. It went to exactly 0.84. And then what happened is, you came all the way back down, and we were able to buy it down around the 529 level, where we took out the previous low. And we made a very nice profit in that one. And now, look where we are right now, folks. We're sitting right at the 786 of the whole range from July. Corn should be as high as an elephant's eye during the month of July. Anyway, you'll notice here that we went right down to the 525 level. I haven't checked it lately, but I thought it was trading at around 528. I have not issued a buy in this because I want to give it a little bit of time just because of the fact that it's come down so hard. And now, we're in a reverse weather market where the weather might be a turnaround and be a good factor for the grains here.  But right now, I'm just waiting to see what happens with the December corn. Now, another one in the grain market that we want to be watching is the, it's been very bullish. It's been the leader of the pack, just like the Nasdaq, has been the December soybean oil. This is a cooking oil and paint and stuff that they use it for. But you notice here, down around 57.72 down from about 70 pips, from where we were just a little while ago, comes in a beautiful 78% retracement and several other ratios coming in. You can see the butterfly pattern that's there also with a little bit of a trained eye that most of you already have that, that 57.72 will be a very, very low risk trade. So the buy would be right around 57.72. You have to risk about 60 pips. So that would put your stop right around the 56, 156.92 level. That's what I would be looking at if I were watching this from this. So we'll see if that's going to be the case on some of these grains. But boy, they have been hit really bad. Another one that looks real interesting from a long-term standpoint, take a look here. This is the spot meal market, folks. Soybean meal, which is 80% of the plant. You can see here we had that big top up here back in May. The market actually topped, well, you have to call the May as the high, because that's the part of the growing season. We actually topped in May and we've been down. I mean, this meal market's just been getting hammered really, really badly. And now we're breaking down below the 61% retracement. But you have to remember that is the nearby meal, and you want to watch December meal because that's new crop. And new crop is where the action usually is. So what we'll tell you to do now is we're going to take a look at the December meal and you're going to see a totally different chart with the same pattern, but a different chart, because you're almost at the 61% retracement of the whole move. You can see the three drive to a top pattern that we made in May. We focus three drive to a top patterns as often as we can, folks, because they work about 70% of the time. And man, oh, live, when they work, they really work. You can see this one. This is a perfect example of that. And they also do the same thing on the upside, because if a three drive pattern is no good, you're going to be out of that in a heartbeat and thanking the good Lord that he kept the door open for you, because these things can explode to the upside just to go nuts and you don't want to get involved with that. That's what the pattern recognition is for, folks. It's for risk control, because when the patterns fail, that's basically what you want to do. You want to just be able to stand aside and wait for the next train that comes by. That's really what you're trying to do. So that's the 10-4 on that one. Now, we've got another one here that we want to take a look at here that I think is relatively important, and that is the wheat market, because everybody likes to have some pancakes and bread once in a while. Here is the long-term picture in the wheat. We had the giant ABCD pattern. That was also a three drive going back to January to May and then into August. That number was right up there, perfect ABCD. And we alerted the folks to that. And look at this really closely, folks. I mean, this is a daily chart. And if you look at it really closely from the time of mid-July to the end of August, you can see in the beginning of August, you can see a beautiful three drive to a top pattern going in right above making new highs and a three drive to a top pattern and a double top and an ABCD. And we put that order in. Unfortunately, we missed it by about three cents, which is sometimes a little more common than we'd like to think. But that's what happened. Now, this is still relatively very, very bullish, folks. So you've got to pay attention to the wheat for a good balance, because the rest of this stuff getting killed, the wheat isn't. And that is really an important fact. So we are going to be watching that wheat very closely, because if this weather gets any wetter, I recall from my old days of reading some of the fundamentals that you don't want too much wet weather coming into the harvest time of September and October,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Okay, folks, I posted a 15-minute chart of the natural gas because we had that monster move, then the big $3,000 sell-off. You notice we went down to 382. You'll notice on the bottom of the chart, folks, I marked two times. They're called key times. The reason why is the first bottom is the key time. And then I want you to see the second bottom because what happened this morning is after hitting the 382 twice, it went down there and it made new lows. But as you can see here, it didn't move a bunch. That told you if you're using market feedback like you're supposed to if you're an astute trader, you didn't have any sales in there. I mean, there was nobody selling down there. There were no stops being hit. And that told you that was a pretty significant bottom. And you can see we went all the way up and made a 1.618 retracement of the whole move up there at 441. So when you're doing that, it's very important to let market feedback give you some edge because it's very, very helpful. If the news is really bullocks and the stuff doesn't go up for heaven's sakes, you know something's wrong. And if the news is bearish and the stocks don't go down, that's telling you a lot too. So just remember that that news is there for a reason and pay close attention to it because it'll save you a lot of money in the long run. Now let's have a little bit of fun here for the next few minutes. We've got a situation here where we can do two things at once. But this is a picture of the gold chart. You notice here, we're expecting a bottom down there at around 1805. We got to 180390. We rallied all the way up to 1817. And then we sold off and we've been going sideways. But you notice the red line, the AI line is now turning down. So the sell comes in at 1813. I know we just hit that because I saw it flash. And so you sell at 1813. You don't have to risk very much here. If it gets above the 786, which is at 1815 and a half, so you're only risking $3, your stop would be 181517. So but your profit objective, because you have the half a day to go yet, could be quite substantial. So that's how I tried to line that up during the day to give you an idea of what we're looking at. You can look here between 10 and 11 o'clock. You can see the perfect ABCD pattern we made from 1818 down to 1810. We rallied up to 1816. It would come right down to the ABCD level at 1807. The low was 1806 and change. And now we've rallied up to the fib point. So we're watching that one really closely. So that's the kind of trade when we're working on day trading and stuff, those five hours that we do a few times a year. That's a trying to trade that we're looking at. I don't usually put the AI in, but I have had some people have some interest in because it does work. And it is helpful at times. But the trouble is it's not 100% like nothing else in this business. So we need to remember that very, very closely. So we're just keeping a close eye on that as we look here this morning. Now, the numbers that we showed you on the ABCDs, those four colors, red, green, blue, and can't remember the other one, whatever it was, you want to be able to tell yourself that that is a possibility because there's four of them up there. But remember, Bart just posted one that showed that we're within 10 points. This could have been the high day last night, if that's the case. Now, we're coming into a giant anniversary date here on September 3rd, which is Friday. That's the anniversary date of the big high in the stock market on September 3rd, 1929. Folks, it took the market 27 years to take that high out. After that was it. I mean, there's never been, you know, that was the longest period that we went, but it was 27 years before the market finally started to move above. If you would have bought a house in Beverly Hills, California in 1929, which was one of the premier places to buy a house, you had to wait until 1959, I believe. Yeah, 1959, almost 30 years later, you finally got back to break even. I know the story that everybody's telling me, but look what it did after that. You're absolutely correct, but I'm just giving you some information, whether it's important or not, I don't know. I have not had any luck with anniversary dates. I know W. D. Gann talked about it, but frankly, I looked at him and I went back and looked at a lot of chart. There's a few that work, but none to make any significant move. I bring that to your attention just because it was an interesting time in our history. Remember, you stop and think of the inventions that were going on in 1929, folks. We were getting electricity. We were getting air conditioning. We were getting automobile. Everybody's getting an automobile. In fact, they were going to be able to afford it. We had telephones, refrigerators.  From 1932, we didn't start getting out of them until 39, and that's when we started to get ready for the big war. That's how depressions work.  This time, it'll be fought someplace that we'll never believe in, but that's neither here nor there. Let's remind ourselves, hopefully, we won't have to go back. I don't believe it will be with China, folks, because China doesn't have to go to war. They just have the patience of Job to wait until everything lines up for themselves, and they go back and look at history. They built that great wall to keep people out, and so they don't go to war. I mean, they have a big army, but they certainly don't go to war. Yet, maybe that'll be something down the road.  No question about it. Now, we need to cover a couple of stocks that we've been watching here, because the Tesla, of course, has broken quite substantially above that level. We were looking at yesterday, which was at the 730 level, and we have smashed through that. Let's get it up here so the folks can take a quick look at it, and you'll see that we've definitely broken out on Tesla, and let's get it right here. Wow, we closed right at 730. That's really strange. Well, that's not really strange, but we closed right at the 730 level on Monday, and yet today's the day that the market gaps up and takes out those old numbers, because we've shattered a 78% level, folks. That gives an ABCD structure on this, and I'll just do this for you right now. Not that I'm involved in this stock, and I wouldn't even buy a car that you can't hear the engine on, but you'll see here that it gives you a minimum price objective of $780. Let's just bring this up so you folks can take a look at it, and that's what we're looking at. I did see a video last night. Someone sent me a video of the Apple car. I have never seen anything that extravagant in my life, folks. I don't know. I have to be real, I think, but this car did everything it parked. It was just an amazing vehicle. It was a sports car. This is not what they're going to be selling of. They're going to sell family cars, but this was a sports car. If this is real, and that is an electric car, Tesla is in big trouble, because that's a really fancy automobile, that Apple. Wow. It looked like something right out of Captain Kirk's garage when he parked his spaceship enterprise on Mars and wherever he did it. Boy, that's an incredible car. It was a combination of a 1935 Bugatti and a Dino Ferrari. It was really an amazing thing. Okay. I've got a break coming up here soon.<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Okay folks we're back and I've been asked to uh take a look at copper here for you folks just give me one second here to line this up so we'll be able to uh to see this and see what we're going at right here hold on one second here uh this is copper let me get the chart up so you'll be able to see it not too much trouble uh we made the uh the big abcd to the downside down there at 396 that that's not the abcd that you're seeing here let's make sure we put it in here so that you're able to see the abcd without too much trouble there we go that's the one you want to be looking at now we've had a very good very good rally we've rallied from uh 396 all the way up to 42 we're trading out at 437 that's right at the 61 percent retracement of the high that we made back in august now if this is dr copper you know we we topped in copper way back in may and you know we've still been going higher in stock so dr copper has lost his phd in market uh capability of predicting what the market's going to do because this has been diverging you know a great deal uh from that letter folks uh one of the things that i mentioned earlier today is about you know market feedback and and the only way you learn how to do that stuff is to read books like the reminiscences of a stock operator by edwin le fever which is the story of jessie livermore how he kept notes and what he watched for you know he he would you know he would watch for when new lows were being made and the market had no follow through that basically tells you that there's no stock there's no market force coming in there that's going to uh to help you move it and that's that's why you've got to be extremely careful now if you don't have the ability to stand in front of the machine you know and i don't stay in front of the machine very much not at all unless i have to this is the most i have to during the day i takes me about an hour and a half to prepare for the show but then after that you know i wait for the beepers to go off and that gives me a an idea of what i'm looking at you know we had a pretty good day today because the market did what we thought it was going to do as far as hitting three eight twos in the nasdaq and the dow did the exact opposite but we were doing the nasdaq so there was a choice to have to be made and we happened to see the pattern in the nasdaq and not in the uh not in the dow so that worked out all right you know sometimes you know you have uh you know you have luck on your side and other times uh you don't so those are the main things that you want to keep in mind here to uh watch what's what's happening with these things because they're very very interesting when they when they do uh when they do happen so let's uh move on you know keep your stop above that seven eight six in the gold folks uh so you're risking about two bucks you don't want to get it above well see 1816 it would be my guess somewhere in ed ballpark would be the area because it should start down now if it's going to turn down i thought it would start at the 61 percent retracement and it went up a little higher to the 78 percent retracement so now what we're doing this is the same trade like we had when we were doing the day trading thing back on uh august 19th and we had a couple of really small uh break $100 profits in gold because of this type of really quiet action and unfortunately they ended up being really big winners but uh you know the time ran out and we didn't have any more time to go on the show and then the market broke at the end of the day now we've got enough time here because uh uh the end of the day is quite a bit so that's the main thing i hope you understand you know the the the implication of doing this is uh you got to keep your stops relatively you're if you're trading gold folks it's hard to trade it for less than 300 bucks it really is uh big you know actually it's closer to $600 but $600 in a pattern like this is suicide you don't need to do that at all when you have everything lined up it's either going to work or it's not going to work it's that simple no questions about it tomorrow we're going to have shane's mullion as i guess he's got some very important things to talk to us about regarding cycles that are coming due also the foundation of for the study of cycles have brought out their new newsletter if you're not on the list go in and ask them to just go to fsc foundation for the study of cycles ask for a copy of the book or that this month's newsletter and they'll be happy to send it out to you unfortunately i don't have the link for it i was just notified that it's on its way and but you can get it easily just by going in and asking for it's got some good articles as always and things that we like to see when we're when we're doing this give as much information as we as we possibly can't let me see here uh what i want to do one other thing get this out of the way here see if there's any questions in the den uh no nothing else they're talking about football which i have about as much interest as that as i do in tiddlywinks and uh i don't have any interest in either one of those so that's it they're great athletes but frankly i just don't particularly care my athletes have four legs folks i like the ponies because they live a very subdued life and they don't have any bad habits and they don't always win but by golly they give you the best chance they got and it's a and and you know the only good part of it is you don't have to watch it for three hours it only takes about two minutes and it's only a couple days a week okay let's move on here if anybody has any questions eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight and we'll be watching this but folks i i i need to get up on my soap rocks but i will one more time it's you know get ready for this folks because when this puppy when this thing breaks it's going to be like uh it's going to be like a Hoover Dam when it was full and breaking not now because it doesn't have any water in it but this is going to be really nasty on the way down i know everything looks great you know everybody's talking about yeah it's going to go higher and it is it's still going to go higher it's still going higher we don't know where the top is yet but when the top is in i'll know that but that that's where you want to uh that's where you want to be careful because you got a lot of 401k folks out there and that's the main thing that you want to be able to do that yes uh larry bird was one of my favorite fact is i i googled one of the great athletes from tarot indiana terry dishinger who played for purdue university i played against him at high school i was a friend of the family and stuff he's a very very successful orthodontist up in portland now he just turned 80 years old and he's in great health and everything and it's got a son that's in the business it's also a orthodontist and he's got about seven or eight guys working for him he's got a huge huge practice up there and he deserves it he's just a really nice human being and his whole family was very nice yet we have a call from niagra falls we have michael on the line michael what's up buddy yeah hi hi thanks for taking my call um what's the open interest figures on the e-minis and nasdaq yeah the nasdaq open interest you haven't mentioned in the last couple weeks uh i was just wondering is it are you waiting for the role into the December contract or i check i check them all the time the problem is there's been nothing dramatic the open interest in the nasdaq has been dropping and there's not class and p s and p the open interest is still going a bit higher the russell is going lower so there's no new buying in the nasdaq up in here this is all uh the logs and shorts fighting it out you know just basically break even every day if we see a big drop or either way or increase then we'll have a better idea but nothing's going on right now no drastic drop in the open interest no just small drops no small drops just just small drops nothing nothing big nothing big at all there were big big increases in the s and p last week on two days but yesterday was not very much and uh so we're up in an area here where it's just dangerous up in here i keep saying that but uh you're talking to a man who's afraid of heights anyway so don't listen to what i say mike yeah like monday was such a narrow rally yeah i mean new york was down russell was down the banks were down yeah now jones was down yeah well we're gonna find out soon enough my friend but thanks for calling in buddy i hope you can get to all that water out in agro falls up there to make some electricity thanks a lot mike sharpening your skills as an investor is

great hour of the trader's edge here at tfnn.com okay folks i posted the chart of the australian dollar because remember last week we were looking for that 382 retracement to hit and it hit its spot on there at 7110 the low was 7091 which was the exact 382 retracement and of course we've had a pretty strong rally from this level this is very important folks from a commodity standpoint because there's so many minerals copper and a whole bunch of other stuff coming out of hawaii hello larry australia so let's keep in mind if we go below there that would be extremely bearish for commodities and many of these are related to china because they buy a lot from australia so this is a really key level the fact that it hit that number and came out of there really strongly to jump two points in that is very very unusual you can see it doesn't have that big a move very often but that's telling you this and it's continued so that's the main thing to to take a look at so let's keep in mind if we get above that 1816 1816 area i say 1816 60 that would be a three dollar risk this would be a losing trade in the in the gold market so but anyway i would expect it to start coming down anytime now we would have sold it at 1813 and then we'll see if 1813 40 and then we'll see if it gets above 1816 40 that would be a losing trade and you'd look to be make at least a three dollar profit on this because if you're risking three you should be making three and that's that's what you'd want to be doing as you're looking at this now tomorrow we'll have shane smolian as our guest we're going to have geogen appley next week and then also tim boss on friday will be a good one and then jc parrots from all-star charts is going to be our guest next week also he's got a big following and he's a very good fibonacci technician with some great charts and does a lot of etf stuff though folks that trade etfs will like him so we'll catch you on the flip side tomorrow folks live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may god bless


This works. Okay, so Let's all get to our seats and I want to remind that you should rate and comment and block about these presentations and then Confine general and now Let's welcome our next speaker Adam. Oh, hi everyone. Can you hear me? That's great. So You might have a open source project which you want to build You want to distribute it to your users and you want to make sure that users will have no Problems to install your project. So What would you do? Let's use copper for that What I'm gonna talk about now is What can you do with copper? How can you do it? I will have two demos and then something about the copper project itself So first what's copper is? Copper is a build service which means that it can transform your source code It can build it and create an rpm repository so your users will be able to install your project and There are Three steps and I will show you what you can do in all three steps. The first is source code We actually support four types of source code now You can have source rpm which you can submit Actually upload to any public server. This was the initial functionality and about half a year ago It was the only one and then we added storage to copper So we will be able to we are able to Store the source RPMs and also we can build directly from Tito From get using Tito or mox as a mock SCM plug-in Jay, how many of you know Tito? Okay Was it okay? So there was a talk yesterday about it also we can have a look. It's basically a Small program which you can run in your git repository and it will build your packages automatically and on your machine locally and mock SCM How many of you know mock? That's better so mock can build from git and we are using the plug-in in copper as well so that's about source code and Let's see there are two Actually two versions why it's like snapshot and what is life code and if we have life code we might be able to just Store the URL to your git and build from it directly. So that's what we did So there are three ways of initiating your build you can submit the source as usual as before and then you can Store the information about your build in copper and do build with just one click with no submitting everything or Automatic builds using webhooks. This is now supported on GitHub only and I will show you in the demo how to do that and then Yeah, some other Bonus things you can do in builds you can do external repositories You can use dependent projects if you require some packages from something else enable disable internet access and Modify truths. This might be important if you want to burst for collections and use comms XML And then when you build your packages By default this creates your repository automatically, but if you have some Large project which consists on 10th packages, you can just Build each one each one and then click for your report to be created. So That was about the what there are some build types and You can do full automatic process or just manual in every step And now I will show you how and this would be the demos almost live demos and I have to prepare first if submitting build via command line and then I will use the web interface. So I Discrent shots because I don't believe in live demos so First what you need to do is install copper CLI, which is our client. So I will do it right now. Yes Thank you Now I want to build some source. I just picked random source from the internet so I will download it yay and I've got it in my directory now I need to set up my copper CLI and It's something like login to copper. I have to put my token there So I added the file and I can get this from the URL You can also see a link in the bottom of the web UI So this is something like My token I will save it and Now let's see what copper CLI can do first. I need to do create a project. So I will create a project I will call it Defconn project Yay, and then It's time to build a package. I'm using the source RPM and upload uploading directly to copper from my machine So I specified copper CLI built This is the project and package and now it's building actually. It's uploading to copper Running and succeeded at this point. I have the package built and the repo ready for installation now Anyone can install your package so you can run this command dnf copper enable and copper project name which will add the project to your computer and If you're enabling random project, this is important You need to know what the project does because copper is community project and everyone can use it So there might be some testing stuff some dangerous stuff. So This is important to keep in mind And I can just install it. That's it So that was the first demo and now I Would like to show you how to do the automatic builds, which is the new thing we can do So this is how our user interface look like looks like so I will click on new project. I Will select some name. This is Defconn demo 2 and On the same same page I can choose the truth. I just chose Fedora 23 and I click on create my project is created now. So let's submit the first build So I click on builds New build and I would like to use Tito which is the script I talked about before and this will do a build directly from my git repository. So I Will need the public clone URL and I'm also checking test option, which will build my last commit every time So I can submit it And it's importing Let's have a detail look and it succeeded and I can install it the same way as before and now Let's have a look at the automatic stuff So this is the automatic builds if I want to enable it for this project. I need to go to packages. I Can click on my package, which I just built and there is something called default source I can set default source to any package in my project So I will just do this. I will need the same URL The Tito option as before and I can also enable the webhook rebuild submit and Now I need to set up GitHub. So I will go to settings here webhooks and This is my URL. This is my token So I will need to add it to my github repository, which is under settings webhooks and services new webhook And I can paste it here and that's it I Click and I can now submit new builds with every commit using copper and What we plan in future is those small banners which can be added to your project page So we can do something like very basic continuous integration and Test your every build So that's everything from the demos Do you have any questions so far? Yeah Yeah So the question was if you can use something like that package in Fedora Not at this moment, but we are using the same storage the same disk it as Fedora does and we are planning to do that We would like to open it for everyone so it's coming Yeah, yeah, you can actually do that if you use the mock plugin you can Specify your git your spec file. It can be git or SVN. So it's supported now It will take the whole source code Yeah, so I will talk about compute contribution later. So maybe you can send a patch that would be very nice to have Yeah, thank you actually not plants, but We just didn't think about it. This is very new. We just wanted to test it with github and I think yeah, it can come Why not? All right, I Can have a look at that Yes, if you use Tito or the question was if I can just use tags, right in get if you use Tito You can specify that you want to build your tag releases only So if you don't check the test as I did You can build the tags actually Tito manages it itself. So it will create Version with every tag. Yeah Yes Thanks for the question. The question was if I can trigger something when the build succeeded Yes, we emit that message with every build so you can check on that If it helps that message It's a message to IRC from copper Not just IRC I'm sorry Which version of Tito? I'm not sure actually Yeah, it's one of the host actually Okay, so let's move to the copper project as I said we are moving I didn't said that I'm saying enough We are moving our project to github as well because we want to enable pull request And we would like to test and use the automatic builds of copper in copper and then install copper from copper So that's one thing and About the contribution I Did something with vagrant. Do you know vagrant? Yeah, so if you want to contribute to our project and you have something let's say small To change and you want to test it you can clone our repository and run this one single command and it will Create on your machine Complete development environment. We now support just front-end and this git so you will not be able to make builds but any changes in the UI and stuff you can test it with this and will not break your system, so so the support contribution and That's all for me today Just to remember that copper is a build service which make your repository And that's it any questions Yeah, I think make make will answer that this System In the food So now They use There's a lot of problems. It's like the issue that my students and the mates of the college. Yes. So it's really easy. That's the one I want to know about. People know BDH, that's the idea. It's not an automation service, it's a test. On the side, there's books very much, like, not enough of a case to know. I didn't want to say this, but I kept it still. It's all in me, I'm sorry to begin. It's certain, it's like, to go to a project, we remember the old Fedora-related specific solution which doesn't work outside Fedora. Instead of reusing something which is potentially back into the entire community, we started with the man, our own lock, lock in for Fedora, the specific one. Right? Yeah, it's very much, this doesn't policy, like, freedom, openness, it starts from scratch. There is not too much footing on the copper, which is for copper itself, there's only on the back-end problem, which is really quite small code. We used the signing code from the OBS, we used this deep, the Fedora-pan, Adam was leading the project, which made it a standalone project from a bunch of files in Ansible Gear, which should be finished soon, because Fedora still uses that just to pass. So, and we are working on the mall itself, so a lot of our work is behind the copper on the project, which are shared among the community. So, that's not just, we are inventing something in the community. It looks very much the same. And, unlike, well, unlike OBS, what they say is just there are not so much work or work done on copper, so that's why we need it. There's a lot of work to do, as far as I see. So, I didn't buy this, I think, at all. Yeah, thank you. Thank you for this question. We can take it outside and compare the build service of the world. Actually, yeah, we can, it's not on the recording. So, have we got any other questions about copper? We actually support the PC architecture, which is one, which is I386 and x86, so x64. And there is also PowerPC. We don't support ARM, but we have some machines, I think, so we will be supporting in the future. Thank you. Yeah. Okay, so thank you for coming for this bit short talk. So, actually, we would like to make the automatic builds more stable and also we will be supporting things like building from PyPy, C-Pan, and RubyGems, yeah. What happened to dopper? Yeah, so, okay. So, for those who don't know, dopper is building of docker images out of the copper projects, which is very simply wrapper just enable the copper images for resulting the docker image. Well, we had it, we have it done somehow. There was a long delay because the Fesco, we finally get a proof of that and docker changed the web interface and because docker doesn't have basically API, you have it programmed us using screenscape code, so we screenscape the web and click instead of the user to create the cramages, which is not ideal. And just before the Christmas day changed the interface, so we have to done it again. And, well, after Christmas, we had a different work, like migrating because our servers were still on the federal 21, so we migrated to something stable. It was finished just recently. So now we are considering the deployment of the dopper. My question is technically, I'm still not sure whether it is worth of the work, whether we should deploy that or stop that project before we actually announce it. So it's quite fragile because of that screenscaping code, so I'm not sure if other user will be interesting in that actually. Yeah, but that OBS, OSBS have its own, what's it called, docker registry. So the original idea was easily enable creation of the federal images on the docker hub, original docker hub, because if you look on the docker hub, there is Ubuntu Ubuntu Ubuntu. Debian, Debian. Pardon? All right, so that's it from me. Thank you. If anyone asked a question and they haven't had a scarf yet, please come to the front to collect one. Yeah. Or if you answered a question, please come to the front to get one.


Eager Line in 2015 recently wrapped up in Aqaba, Jordan. Over 10,000 international military personnel participated in the exercise, of which 5,000 represented U.S. Central Command Headquarters. This exercise consisted of a series of simulated scenarios, including border security, command and control, cyber defense, and battle space management. The Navy Nurse Corps recently celebrated its 107th birthday. Navy nurses participate in humanitarian and combat support missions. And Theodore Roosevelt established the Navy Nurse Corps in 1908. USS George Washington departed her home port of Yikusuka, Japan for the last time. After her 2015 patrol in the Pacific, she will head to Virginia for a mid-life refueling complex overhaul. And finally, results are expected to be posted later this week, but for now, check out the advancement quotas on ah.mil. For these stories and more, visit navy.mil.


The study found that supplementation of two glycerol esters, monobuturin, MB, and tributyrin, TB, could reduce inflammatory markers in the liver and intestine of rats fed a high-fat diet. This was achieved through changes in the gut microbiome, which resulted in lower levels of certain bacteria and higher levels of other bacteria. Additionally, these esters had beneficial effects on lipid metabolism, reducing cholesterol and triglyceride levels. This article was authored by Tao Duwei Nian, Alina Prichodko, Frida Fracolinius, and others.

See, my suggestion for brands to be transparent is to be transparent with the consumers that they interact with. They have to be transparent in the information that they're giving out. They have to be transparent in the products that they're showcasing. They have to be transparent in the services that they provide. Because today's consumer is changing. He has, as you call it, the right to information for everything. He gets access to information on various platforms where even you may not be present. So today is not the world where you can say that I have information and I can hide it. It's all there. He knows about it. So the best thing for you to do as a brand is to give the right information. So whatever he gets information across his customer life journey on the brand, at whichever stage he is and whatever he touches, the information is correct and transparent. And I think that is what will lead to the next step, which is belief and then loyalty. I think the most important thing, like I said in my presentation, is we really need to know what the brand or the company is all about. Who is it that we're going to be talking to and what is really important to those set of people and try and align our messaging, our products, our strategies in the most honest and transparent way so that they can appreciate, they can relate, they can understand and therefore love the brand for what it is. Transparency is not, it's not a black and white. It's relative to who you are talking to and really from where you're coming from. And once you decide that this is what the brand is going to stand for, then I think across all touch points and consistently over the years, you need to be at that messaging. So in the case of idea, for example, we have taken the positioning of an idea can change your life and it's been probably the only brand in telecom, which for 10 years has been moving that message forward in a single unanimous way across all our touch points. I think transparency is a need that always existed. It's not going to go away. It was there yesterday, it's there today and it'll be there tomorrow. I think it's a very important pivot for any kind of brand communication, to be honest and truthful because the simple thing that you're trying to do is build relationships with customers. Relationships are always based on trust. So I think transparency and honesty is going to be very, very critical as it always has been.


My name is Jamie Lunke. I'm a senior fellow in the FA Hayek Program for Advanced Study and Philosophy, Politics and Economics. I'm here with my colleague, Dick Wagner, the author of a book we're going to be discussing today, James M. Buchanan and Liberal Political Economy, A Rational Reconstruction. Thank you for joining me here today. Well, thank you for inviting me and looking forward to our conversation. One of the subjects that you wrote about a lot together early on was deficit and debt financing. So I want to ask you a little bit about that project because I know it's a research agenda that you've continued to work on also. So what role is there for democratic peoples who are engaging in this kind of self-governing system where they are able to engage in this kind of cooperative, collective action with each other in that democratic framework? What scope is there for those peoples to take on debt and then maybe a little bit about what some of the pathologies are that come along with that because of course we rarely get one side of that coin without the other in all areas of life, but especially these public projects? Public debt provides some really fascinating and difficult questions and issues because you start from ordinary private debt. Debt contracts are promises. You're borrowing an asset from someone else for which you have an obligation to repay. So all credit contracts have this kind of structure where someone has an asset to which they lend you and they can expect to get that asset back with monetary loans with interest. Or even in such cases as you might go out and borrow a bed because you're having some company come for a week and you're expected to return that bed in the right condition and so forth, that's all credit contracts have this kind of problem with them and the law of credit contracts in private business is well developed to deal with the problems that arise. But what happens when you get to democratic systems where who owes what to whom when a democratic government goes in debt? See we speak about government being indebted, but governments can't be indebted. Monarchs of old could be indebted. Monarchs of old had their, they had lands, had various estates, their own wealth. Now people who might lend to the Monarchs of old sometimes could be fearful of being repaid back. Sure, but still when a monarch was indebted it was clear who owed what to whom. May not get repaid, but you owe what to whom. But when a democracy, a democratic government goes into debt, who owes what to whom? If you ask that question it's not apparent what the answer is because the government will float an issue of bonds that promises to pay bond holders at some future period. But who exactly is obligated to pay those bond holders? Obviously they say the answer as a class would be taxpayers. But did taxpayers choose to issue the debt in the first place to borrow? Many taxpayers, perhaps some taxpayers did and other taxpayers didn't. You can feel pretty confident that there are many taxpayers who would probably rather have had the spending project not done and not had to pay taxes in the future so you can have people within democratic systems who are forced debtors through the collective decision process. And so I think this is one of many instances in which a language and conventions of thinking that develop in terms of private interaction can get corrupted when they are brought to bear to public interaction. And so I think it's a huge confusion of thought to think of democratic governments themselves as being indebted when there's no agent in that democracy who bears the liability, the responsibility for making good when things don't work out. If you have a government that sponsors a big tunnel project under a river it's going to spend $100 million at borrows. And then the costs go up $200 million, $300 million. Does the organizer of the project bear the loss? No, it becomes part of the general government indebtedness and it's spread over whoever can be hit up for the money. And that says that government debt is a handling of contracts as it were. Our obligations that extend over long durations of time are particular problems because there's no one who is responsible with that obligation when they leave office. And it's a problem that goes far beyond debt. It's a problem that comes up in any kind of governmental-based promising where promises extend over longer periods of time. We talk about the official American debt is up around $20 trillion or so. But there's also a massive debt buildup into what is things like Medicare and so forth that by some estimates are in the order of $100 trillion or so, which in all these things, if you apply the principal contract and you talk about what they call as a unfunded liability, what that means is that the promises politicians have made to people in their capacities as recipients of benefits from programs exceed the promises or commitments that have been made to people in their capacities as taxpayers. There's a $100 trillion gap between the promises that politicians make to one set of people in their capacities as taxpayers and the promises they make to another set of people in their capacities as beneficiaries. And so it's an arrangement that is null and only at the surface, a form of systemic line, you might say, that built into this democratic system is a form of built-in line that people knowingly know that this can't be maintained, but yet that's an outcome of the system. And I think those are the kinds of things that are of great significance in terms of trying to understand and wrestle with the problems of what does it require for there to be self-governing republics? And it means that there's part of that has to do with the responsibilities that you bear as a member of a self-governing republic. Do you ever think that for instance when politicians, oh, they talk about what they're going to do, they talk about what their benefits you're going to get from what they do. Now the basic theory of economic organization or economic equilibrium, if you will, says that every transaction has two sides. It has what it recognizes as a demand side and a supply side. The politicians always emphasize what you might call the demand side, what we get. They don't emphasize the supply side of who has to do what to make that happen, but yet you can't do one without the other. Yeah, about that relationship between liberty and responsibility and actually through every aspect of your answer to that question you can see the analysis calling back to this fundamental question about self-governance that you raised at the beginning, which is that sometimes we just get on each other's nerves and we get in each other's ways and we want different things and we want things that are sometimes mutually incompatible and how do we resolve those kind of very fundamental tensions. And one of the things that you called out just now but also in the book is that many of those processes of negotiation and voluntary consent to government systems, you want people to be free and to have liberty to engage in those processes, but if you don't have the responsibilities side of that equation also you can get people engaging in behaviors that are quite destructive. When we think about this relationship between liberty and responsibility that's putting demands on people for how they are supposed to behave. So we get this intermingling in Buchanan's research between the positive economics and this more social or moral philosophy. So what is the relationship between those two? Are they similarly inseparable in the way that liberty and responsibility are? If we're going to think about the world and get the kind of explanation and understanding that Buchanan seems to want us to? Yeah, I think we're totally wrapped up in a world of inseparabilities in various of these ways and I think it goes back that yes, as you said, we do have the ability to get on each other's nerves in each other's ways and so forth. And I think behind that there are some significant questions of how do you really conceive the problem of people living together in close geographical proximity? And see Buchanan always wanted to think of that problem ultimately as having a resolution and I think that's partly why you referred earlier to the austerity or abstractness of some of his thinking compared, say, to Benson Ostrom. But I think Buchanan had a tendency to think, well, there must be something, some core at which we can all agree. And that becomes in his scheme of thinking a constitutional moment. We can all agree and here's how we're going to, rules by which we're going to live together and then all of our subsequent disagreements are nonetheless resolvable within that original framework of rules. That's not the only way to think about it. I don't think that's necessarily the way that Benson Ostrom think about it. That's not the way that, for instance, Buchanan's one-time co-author Gordon Tulloch thought about it. It's also not the way a lot of various significant Italian social philosophers thought about it. Probably the main point of divergence between Buchanan and myself in thinking about these matters is I think Buchanan shied away from a number of Italians, going back to Machiavelli actually, that he, I think he could usefully have brought into his field of vision. There's a question there of, you know, it's a question of whether at base societies are can be totally, I think, peaceable places or whether the peace that you can experience is held together inside of a latency of conflict among people getting back to these questions of, you know, on the one hand we recognize gains from trade. That's fundamentally what economics is about, is the exploitation of gains from trade. But if you also bring in that, yeah, we do annoy each other, we also have quarrels about precedence. You take a set of people, 50 people want to be in an orchestra that they want to be first violin. Only one's going to be. And so there's going to be perhaps conflict, intrigue, disputation and all that. That's all part of the social deal. And so this kind of, you know, leads to the question of whether you think about a social economy in terms of some kind of closed model where you have an answer, finally. There's a final answer. You know, I one time wrote a paper actually comparing Buchanan and Tullich. And I called it something about east of Eden or west of Babel. Buchanan theorized from east of Eden in the sense that in the Eden story there is a point of primal niceness and sweetness. And then there's the ejection from the garden. And so you could say there's a harkening back in the constitutional story to regain Eden. I think that's Buchanan. Then you get to the Babel. That's Tullich. Babel is just cacophony. People disbursed from Babel with multiple languages. And that's Buchanan, excuse me, that's Tullich's notion of the social dilemma is how to get by there in that kind of arrangement. And you know, I think the social problem of living together is something that has many dimensions, many kinds of complex lines of thought. And again, I would just affirm that the problem is too big for any one person to think about and digest and give some final answer. But it's part of the non-going intellectual and scholarly process. And I think Buchanan's work in particular tried to say that governance is our problem. See, in the usual kind of public announcement he encountered is that the implicit political regime was a feudal regime. So if you go to feudalism, and of course, this country is founded on the rejection of all things feudal and the European heritage, which is one of the things why I dislike so much modern emphasis and saying, well, we should be more like Europe and this country was founded on not Europe. And so in that kind of orientation, the feudal orientation, you had Lords of the Manor. Governance was the business of the Lords of the Manor. Now, you could find feudal regimes where governance went well. Peasants were very happy with things. You could also find feudal governance where ordinary people were treated miserably and harshly. And so the world of feudal governance provides many examples arranged from the whole gamut of experiences. But they were all feudal governance. They were all cases where governance was a right or a station in life that some people inherited. Most people didn't. And so if you were there, you were just a farmer working your crops or a merchant in your shops, governance was not your business. And where the democratic scheme of thought is that governance is all of our business. Now Buchanan's own normative values is that's how it should be. And that's a desirable social arrangement is for all of us to participate in our governance. But it's not an easy arrangement. In fact, pretty much going back to the ancient Greeks all thought that democracy was at best a kind of a temporary form of government that would exist until people came increasingly to recognize that they can vote largesse for themselves by imposing costs on other people. And that was a kind of a widespread claim based upon a lot of historical evidence. And I think we right now are living into that very same kind of question, same kind of issue that is going to be for the future to determine the outcome.  And today was no exception. So thank you so much. Well, thank you so very much. I always love talking to you too.
