So today's the last day of PVP for Rank Battle so I think I'd have a crack at it today and play a lot More PVP and show you guys What my team can do? Let's check it up. Check a look at my roster. That's not it So this is it. So I have King at leader I have Twins I have Gaiun and I have Jushu Also have you Mina awakened you Mina and recently I was able to For the side of bringing Hayami Sanai which actually made sense with the team that I have and I have Lin Shen as well and to round out that team. It would be Evelyn Keller. Let's take a look at another match or that my first match and see how it looks I've decided to do this today Got nothing to do nothing to do actually for a Sunday Just want to chill relax and play some PVP especially for rank and hopefully I could probably go one rank higher or one level higher than I think right now I'm at Platinum five so I'm trying to go to Platinum four so see if I can have a go at it So let's see Actually, I'm happy with the Hayami Very much pleased with with how she has performed recently for my team Hopefully I could this is actually the highest that I've placed so far ever since I play I have been playing Counter side so at three thousand one hundred thirties the highest Hopefully I could go to three two and So far so good so enemy also has Hayami in the background with Shaolin That is why I I thought this team was going to be harder than I thought so Try to Just wear this off Hopefully I can still have a crack at it Hopefully, where did I deploy everyone? Sorry. That's what I thought This team was pretty much so thank you because they had two snipers so well off to the next round for this It's really let's go to a little bit of That this takes I really don't like Loomie at this point. I've been having a problem with her in terms of Trying to make sure that she doesn't have What they call this she doesn't have a crack at my ship, but usually she does and More or less. She's very tanky. I'm actually surprised that she's thank you so off to my second game Hopefully we could have a crack at the enemy at this time Probably a wrong timing to bring in What do you call this? Let's start let's So they have another sniper at the back There you go. Hopefully she could Whether that's torn for me and she did So again Very good strategy Or less. I was happy that I didn't overplay that Too late. I have you I have you in my side. So thanks for the win Off to the next match Hopefully I could go to 3200 or probably 34 For this afternoon. Let's go proceed You Mina actually if you just deploy her Either too early or too late. She's it's going to be bad for you. So It's all about timing for her when to deploy her where to deploy her So far I've played it conservatively so far I don't want to overplay my team actually by deploying first and probably Be countered. So I usually would wait for the opposing team and like take a pot shot at the ship I have the ship damaged So he goes first. Okay, so we have here Awakened hill day two hill days on two hill days on the team Let's see how this plays out I can crack this egg Hopefully I can It's going to be Not going to be easy but More or less, I hope I get a crack at this Sorry, I'm not commenting ready. I'm too busy with my thoughts Okay, so we're done. We're we're through we're through Not bad. Not bad guys. Not bad Again, um It's usually placement for the team And not overplay it because also there there there's also a there's there's also a possibility that um The other team would have a awakened you Mina So might as well try to hold off a bit So try to be more conservative and read More or less the battlefield and see how it's going to happen For the first few drops I usually drop around three to four and probably hold off see if Um, I can withstand the onslaught then probably hold until I save enough for awakened you Mina So one of that is the the gameplay that I usually employ. So again Here we have another Loomi so try to drop that there. So hopefully we could Could be okay Are we good? Yes, we are good Very successful cheap shots cheap shot cheap shot You wanted to cheap shot me. So sorry I really hate loomi As in I really hate her she She's so tanky and she you know, she's kind of a cheap shot for me in terms of winning Um, it's really hard to kill her. I'm actually that is the reason why I I brought Um hayami with me so that I could take care of her So Again, let's proceed. So three consecutive wins guys. Hopefully we could Have more wins for three two Hopefully we could go to three two pretty relaxed Sunday afternoon here So more or less But there she is again. So He's a cheap shot really see Told you so Awakened you Mina just waiting to strike See another cheap shot Hopefully this is it. I'm gonna hold off a bit. No Don't want to hold off Let's finish this off There you go guys There you go the other win Let's see how how this win streak is gonna take me and take me somewhere So I'm at three one ninety one ninety three for the first time In platinum four Sorry Let's proceed This is getting to be exciting for a consecutive win Hopefully I could pull off another win. So same with the enemy, but he's at three three three six two So let's see how we can do this Again play I'm playing conservatively trying to wait for the first move for the enemy As you can see he drops It's a draw Wrong move my end Wrong move Made a wrong move See if I can still salvage this So far still holding on Oh so far still holding on Hopefully can weather this Good good Good nice guys. I actually thought I was gonna lose that one Really thought I was gonna lose that one. That was really a close one guys close one close one indeed So what is this winning streak? This is at I'm at four platinum four. I'm gonna ride this winning streak I'm at See I'm at five. I think Win streak number five I'm gonna ride this one. See how it goes. See where it ends Hopefully at platinum three Ah, I don't think so, but we'll try We'll try What is in store for us right now?  Not sure what happened but So far still holding on See told you that winning streak won't last long What happened I didn't know what happened just Couldn't take down people on the other end. So It's good. It's okay. Let's have another win streak. Let's build another one See if I could reach platinum three for the week So far, this is the first time that I've been in platinum been in diamond for, you know, a couple of weeks already Hopefully I could Actually this Jane don't make a difference there Pretty much a difference in that match cheap shot Saw that coming Okay, so it's you The one over commit. Let's stop at this one. Um, sorry This is kind of exciting See if I can Hold on to this At this point At this point. I'm still holding on There you go I don't I thought that I was gonna lose that one Pull it off That was pretty much annoying guys Pretty much annoying Let's move on Mech team. Hopefully it's not It's not the mech ship. It is the mech ship. It's Abraham. Hopefully We can My usual problem is actually mix because of the healing of that ship Oh my god. I thought she was done her cheap shots Keep on piling see This is what this is what I hate actually Mech ship with uh lumi in it and awakened you Mina Not sure I'm gonna survive this guys at this point This is over.

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this week's, or this month's I should say, non-farm payrolls webinar covering the US jobs report for October. Just a little bit of housekeeping first. Quick risk warning. Put that on the screen for you. Hopefully everyone can hear me loud and clear. Any questions? Please feel free to direct them to me by way of the chat in reply to the message that I've just sent out. While I talk about the risk warning, obviously we also have not only the US jobs report, but we also have the Canadian jobs report as well. So I think certainly be an awful lot of interest I think in the movement in the dollar CAD. Given the recent decline in monthly GDP out of Canada in the wake of those two rate rises that we've seen in the last couple of months from the Bank of Canada. Also looking forward to a Fed rate rise at the December meeting. So quite a bit to get through. Also looking ahead obviously to payrolls data and the big bounce back. Expecting a big bounce back after the very surprising decline in US jobs that we saw for September. Which was affected to a large extent by Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma that really did skew the US jobs numbers quite significantly. So I think what I'm particularly looking for this month is the effect on the dollar. Because I think since we last spoke on non-farm payrolls, it's hard to believe it was only a month ago and we saw that move down in Eurodollar. And a big bounce in the dollar on the back of that big jump in average earnings in wages. And I think it's the wages data that's probably going to drive this particular jobs report because I don't think really we're expecting anything significant. Any significant market moving number unless we get a really really poor headline jobs number. We saw a big jump to 2.9% in wages and that prompted the dollar to jump quite sharply and prompted us to push down here on Eurodollar 21670. Now obviously since then we've broken below 11670 and we've broken out of what I would call this head and shoulders reversal pattern here. Now that does suggest to me that we could well get further dollar strength going forward. So I think if we get a weak jobs number or a weak wages number we could see a little bit of dollar weakness and we could see a rebound in Eurodollar. If we look at the dollar index we can see that played out slightly similar fashion on the Bloomberg here. My Bloomberg chart what I'm going to do is draw a horizontal line through this series of peaks here and we can see on the dollar index this inverse head and shoulders. We've broken through it which would appear to suggest that we're on course for further dollar gains. But before we get to bullish on this we obviously need to stay above 94 on the dollar index. If we get a slightly weak wages number we could see a bit of a sell off in the dollar but as long as we don't break below 94 then I think the prospect of further dollar strength remains the most likely outcome. But obviously we have to put it in the context of obviously this week's Fed meeting where the Federal Reserve upgraded their outlook for the US economy. We've also got a new Fed chief Jerome Powell who will be taking over from Janet Yellen in January of next year. Now he was the continuity candidate and ultimately he was the candidate that I expected to be nominated to replace Janet Yellen. So really now it's a question of he may be a slightly more dovish candidate but we still don't know who the vice chair will be. That could still be John Taylor or it could even be Kevin Walsh. Ultimately time will tell with respect to who the nomination will be for the vice chair but certainly in the context of where we are now. The continuity candidate is probably not going to change too much with respect to Fed policy and ultimately I think what that will mean is we will continue to see a continued move higher in the US dollar. And as such I still expect to see Euro dollar head back down towards 112. Now it's a fairly easy calculation as to why I think that. The reason I think the way that I do with respect to that is purely measuring price objectives. While we remain below this neckline here around about 1680 then the line of release resistance we measure the peak of the move at 120 here down and project down from the break of the neckline. So 120, 170, 116, 170 is 400 points projected downwards from 116, 170 brings you to 112, well 112, 170, 112 and a half. So simple calculation sell Euro dollar on any rallies and only stop yourself out if we break back above 117 or we break above this trend line from the highs that we see. Simple rule of thumb, as soon as the trend looks as if it's going to break you go the other way. So we looked at yesterday's peak in Euro dollar, if you're going to have a short position in Euro dollar then ultimately it's going to be above, any stops are going to be above yesterday's highs. So you may get a spill over towards 117 but what you don't want to see happen is it move much above 117, 117, 10 otherwise you're going to get squeezed out. So what would cause a weaker dollar? Well we could see the payrolls number miss, falling, coming quite considerably short, we're expecting a big bounce back. Obviously the September number came in at minus 33, I will be looking for a revision there, we could see an upward revision back into positive territory that would be positive for the dollar. But then again we could see the forecast number come in actually slightly lower. Now I'm less interested in the headline number more than I am the combined total of the two months divided by two. Because generally if we're still averaging around about 170, 175,000 jobs per month then ultimately that ties in with the long term trend for the US labour market. The jobs number here, the wages number here 2.7%, if that comes in significantly weaker say around about 2.6, 2.5 again that's going to be $30 negative. I still think there is some underlying pent up inflation building up in the US economy that we're not actually seeing in the headline numbers quite yet. We're seeing it in the ISM reports, we're seeing it in manufacturing where prices paid is coming in quite high. We also saw very, very strong employment components in the September ISM reports for manufacturing and services but we didn't see that play out in the headline number of minus 33. So there is a little bit of a disconnect between what the BLS numbers are, the Bureau of Labour Statistics are telling us and the ISM. Now I'm getting asked what I'm expecting with respect to the cable and sterling end with respect to the payrolls numbers. And certainly let's start looking at the key levels, we've got to look at the key levels in your dollar, let's look at the key levels in cable. The key level in cable that I'm looking for is $130.20, why? Well we can look at this chart and it's immediately obvious right here. We've got the 100 day moving average which we've managed to hold above since we broke above it in June. We've had a little bit of a flirtation either way but we've managed to hold this uptrend that we've been in since those March lows. So we're a very, very key inflection point here on cable. I don't want to see us move below $130.20 today because if we do then the likelihood is we're going to come back down towards the 200 day moving average around about $120.80. So where the pound is at the moment is very, very key in the context of where we go to next. I'm a little bit concerned about the pound at the moment because certainly in the context of last, of yesterday's rate hike, what I didn't expect to see was the Bank of England to come in as dovish as they did. Because ultimately if they are concerned about upward pressure on inflation, they don't want a weak pound. And ultimately everything that they did yesterday apart from raising rates was really undermined the pound quite significantly. And that's really borne out in the fact of the way that this has shown here. So if we look at the lows that we've seen in October, so we're around about $130.10, $130.20. So any move below $130.20 and the lows that we saw in October for me I think is a red flag for any short-term sterling strength. And we could see a little bit of weakness back towards the 200 day moving average. So are we looking at that very, very closely today? A weaker number obviously we'll see the pound edge back up towards around about $130.50, $130.32. So I'm still minorly bullish on the pound at the moment, but we are at a very, very key level right now. I don't really want to see a move below $130.20 today. At the moment we're squeezing higher, that's not really surprising. We're seeing a little bit of euro sterling weakness which is helping keep a floor under the pound. What is interesting about euro sterling however is how these two moving averages here are starting to act as a little bit of a cap around about the highs that we saw yesterday. So if we look at say $89.40, we've got the 50 day starting to roll over the 100 day. That could act as a little bit of a cap in the short term. We did find very, very decent support at the 200 day moving average as well. So we're getting a little bit of sterling strength which is helping to support the cable as well. Let's look at dollar yen because dollar yen is going to be very key. A good solid dollar number should see us move back to 114.14. That is a huge number. We've got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 tests of 114.40. So any positive dollar number needs to clear 114.40 to push dollar yen up towards the range highs. So I would be very reluctant to get aggressively long anywhere at these sorts of levels because we've got significant area of resistance all the way through here. Is the momentum there to take us through 114.40? Unless we get a very good, good dollar number, I would doubt it. With respect to equity markets, we're pretty much well bid at the moment. The FTSE is struggling because the pound is rebounding. But if we look at where the FTSE is, there's big, big resistance anywhere between 75, 80 and 7,600. So we may get a retest of 7,600, but again, momentum is finding it difficult to be maintained. But if you look at the S&P, if you look at the DAX, if you look at the Nikkei, we're pretty much buy on dips at the moment. We can see that here. Had another positive week for stocks. We've seen new records again. And again, it's very much a case of buy the dip. So if you see a little bit of a dip in the S&P in the DAX, in the DAO, it's pretty much buy the dip, sell the rally. And that's essentially the way you play it. Quickly look at sterling end for you, Bilal. Hopefully it'll tie in again here. This is the one hour chart. We're looking fairly well supported just below 149. We saw a bearish reversal a few days ago and we saw one yesterday. But we're finding support on the cloud. So I think as long as we stay above the cloud here, around about 148.80, then we could well see a nice little rebound. I will be very surprised if we break down below into the cloud, unless obviously Dolly N takes a significant dive and Cable doesn't push higher to compensate for that. So essentially, I'm still a buyer of sterling on dips until such times as we break the recent. The highs in euro sterling at 89.40, the 130-20 level in Cable. So we're counting down. Also got the Canadian Jobs Report. Quickly cover that. Looking for again a 15,000 jobs on the Canada. Quickly look at DollarCAD and look at the key support levels on that. Hopefully I just clicked on DollarCAD there. Yeah, here we go. So looking a little bit toppy around 129.25.30. Quite a way away from that at the moment. Stuck in the range there at the moment on the DollarCAD. I will now be quiet and look to digest these numbers as they come in. Okay, so we've revised up 18,000 on the October 261. So that's slightly disappointing on the headline number. We're looking at the average earnings. That's the monthly number that we're seeing there. We're not expecting 2.7. That is wrong. We're looking at 35,000 on the Canada jobs number. So that's very good for the Canada. Looking 261 on the headline number for the US. The unemployment rates dropped to 4.1%. And average hourly earnings has dropped sharply to 2.4. So that's a fairly weak dollar number. As you would expect, the pound has gone up. And now we need to keep an eye on EuroDollar around these sorts of peaks here around 116.90 or 117. We don't want to see a move above 117 on EuroDollar. Otherwise, we could see a whole host of stops get triggered up to around about 117.20, 117.30. So a slightly weaker dollar number. I'll be surprised if the dollar sells off particularly aggressively for the sake of those numbers. They are disappointing, but they don't change the story with respect to a US rate rise in December. They don't change that picture at all. Still a fairly healthy US labor market. The unemployment rate, as I say, it's dropped to 4.1%. Looking at the participation rate, the participation rate has dropped quite sharply from 63.1% to 62.7%. So that is a little bit of a concern. It suggests to me there's an awful lot of people who have dropped out of the US labor market. So by and large, it's not a particularly great report. Yes, the unemployment rate has dropped quite sharply. It has dropped to 4.1%. But that drop in the participation rate suggests to me that either the labor market is getting a little bit tired or people are becoming discouraged from working. So in the round, not a great jobs report, but not a particularly bad one either. So slightly dollar negative, but not enough to really push Eurodollar above 117. And that would suggest to me that we might have another go at that 116.191.17 area. But ultimately, I don't expect us to see a breakout of the range that we're currently in with respect to that we've been in today. So we've seen a move on the pound up to around about 131.20, 131.30. The bias are there. I think the bias in the pound for the end of this week really is for limited downside. I would not expect to see a move much below the lows that we've seen this week. That looks better on the weekly chart here. We can see it. This 130.20 area, here's a big, big level. So I will be surprised if we break below that. And I think we're pretty much done for the week on the back of that number. The bias is probably for a move back towards 131.5, 132.00. Eurodollar again, looking at this. We've traded in a range all week of around about 116.30, 116.20, 117.00, 116.190. Again, I would be surprised if we break significantly above that. If we do, then obviously rip out the stops and have another look at it. But from a dollar negative point of view, I think it's hard to make the case for a significant move out of the range that we've been in. FTSE 100, pretty uninteresting. Looking at gold, because that's a slightly dollar negative number, I think the bias here for gold is for a move back to around about 1290. I can't see us dropping much below the lows that we see this week at 1270. Looking at Brent crude, we've seen a move above the $60 a barrel mark here. We've seen a little bit of a bearish reversal, which would suggest that maybe we're probably going to run into a little bit of selling interest if we head back towards 62 and head back towards this trend line support here. Limited upside in Brent crude, we're starting to look a little bit oversold, overbought as well. So that would suggest to me that we could see a little bit of a correction back down towards $60 a barrel. We do look a little bit over extended on the top side. So I think for me that payroll's report was a little bit of a meh, a bit boring, doesn't really tell us anything new that we don't already know. And ultimately I think really it's now a question of looking ahead to what's coming up next week. Let's have a quick look at dollar CAD because ultimately that CAD report was a fairly positive report for the Canadian economy. A big jump in jobs and that should really point to further US dollar declines, Canadian dollar gains back towards around about 127, 21, 27, 30. And the levels that we saw towards the end of October here and we can certainly see that born out in this particular down move here. It does look as if we're starting to roll over on the dollar CAD and there's potential for us to probably drift back down now, particularly on the daily chart, back to rules around about 126. So again here I think on the dollar CAD look to sell dollar CAD on rallies back towards the highs that we saw earlier this week. Does anyone else have any questions on any of the markets that I've been talking about or haven't as yet come because I know there's a lot of you out there. So I'm just being asked about Euro dollar here. So given the number we had slightly weaker Euro dollar still looking to head south. Yeah, I mean as I say I've seen nothing in that number to suggest that Euro dollar can go significantly higher from where we are now. I very much trade on the technicals. So at the moment the technicals still point to a Euro dollar. I would only revise my review. I would only revise my view on a lower Euro dollar if we close back above 117 and break this trend line downtrend line here. So at the moment my bias is to still sell Euro dollars on rallies. At the moment I wouldn't run a short position over the weekend. A lot of things can happen over weekends but if I'm certainly looking towards next week then my bias is to sell Euro dollar on any strength for a move back to 116, 115, 70 and ultimately over the next two or three months for a move back to 112, 27. That is my bias. We've seen the breakout on the dollar index. Now the dollar index is 57% Euro dollar. So if you seen the break it higher on the dollar index you then extrapolate that into Euro dollar then ultimately I would expect Euro dollar to drift lower as long as the dollar index continues to push higher. So there's a complete correlation between two. So at the moment we've tried to push higher on Euro dollar we've tried to push through 116, 90 on two or three occasions. The longer we fail to do that the more likely it is that by the end of this afternoon we'll be back down towards 116, 30. It's just testing the boundaries of the range and we haven't been able to get back to 170 as yet. So that will be the way that I would play it. I'm being asked about Aussie dollar and the RBA next week. We've got the RBNZ next week so there's potential for moves there. The RBA is unlikely that we're going to see a move on rates from the RBA. We are seeing a little bit of a sell off at the moment in terms of the Aussie dollar which is good news for the RBA. The last thing they want is a strong dollar. I'm looking at the Aussie dollar at the moment and it's a similar sort of thing to what we're talking about on Euro dollar. If we look at this particular pattern here we've got a series of highs here through 77, 50, 77, 60. So we've got the peaks there. We broke above those peaks in July. We came back, retested them beginning of October. We've now broken below them. And while we're below 77, 60 then I would be selling Aussie dollar on rallies. It's a pure case of simple technical analysis when support and resistance reverse their roles. When resistance breaks it becomes support. When support breaks it becomes resistance. So while we're below 77, 60 then look to sell Aussie dollar on any rallies because I can't imagine that the RBA will be anything but particularly probably lean more to the dovish side. And essentially a strong Aussie doesn't help the Australian economy. So this week's meeting is expected to keep monetary policy unchanged or next week's meeting unchanged. 1.5%. Confidence in the job market has continued to grow but in common with the rest of the world wage growth continues to remain sluggish in Australia. So I wouldn't expect them to be in any way hawkish. Same applies to the RBNZ. They've just picked a new government. It's a minority Labour government. They are likely to be certainly a lot more interventionist with respect to monetary policy. And as a result we've seen a big big sell off in the Kiwi in recent months. And on that basis alone we could well see a little bit of a rebound is a big big support level in Kiwi around about 15, 68, 20. We could see a move back to around about 69, 60, 70 cents but we have broken out of a very, very long-term downtrend line on the Kiwi and that would suggest that over the longer term we'll drift lower. We say a little bit of we see a little bit of strength initially but ultimately while we remain below this trend line here and I can draw this and show you how I've drawn it from the 2015 lows depending on how we finish today we could actually start to go back towards 70 cents and head back towards there but while we remain below 70 cents the likelihood is we'll probably see a little bit of a drift lower but it does look a little bit oversold at the moment so be very, very careful about being aggressively short of it at this point in time. With respect to the US-30 yeah I mean it's pretty much the same old same old with the US-30. I think if you're trying to pick the top in US equity markets don't because ultimately this market continue to go higher on any dip for quite some time to come. Now why do I say that?  That is not happening right now because ultimately when bond markets when capital moves into bond markets in 87, 97 and 2007 interest rates were much higher much, much higher than they are now so ultimately why would you take your money out of stock markets and put the money into bond markets where you actually have negative yields or significantly lower yields than if you're putting your money in stocks essentially why every time you get a dip in the stock market you get a steady stream of buyers coming in simply because there's nowhere else to put your money. So if we look at the US 30 then at the moment we've got solid support around about 23,300. That suggests to me that ultimately whatever the data is unless you get a particular Black Swan event or something significant that really does undermine investor confidence the line of least resistance for stock markets is towards the upside I have a simple rule of thumb if the threat of nuclear armageddon out of North Korea isn't enough to cause a sell-off in stock markets you really got to ask yourself the question what will and if that's not enough to do it then ultimately then really the question is how do you trade it and the way to trade stock markets at the moment is to buy dips because if you try and sell rallies it's quite conceivable that you will get it down. And ultimately until the price action tells me something different the way to trade stock markets at the moment is to buy any dip in stock markets because every time you try and pick the top you end up getting squeezed out. I'm being asked what about the October Can it creep up eventually? What are you talking about? Can what creep up eventually? I'm being asked about Kiwi Yen and I'm being asked about Cable. With respect to Cable I'm still buying dips on Cable I think yesterday's sell-off was overdone we've got some data out next week from the UK on Friday manufacturing production and industrial production so I still think given what we've seen with respect to the PMI's this week that the UK economy is in probably better shape than most people give it credit for unemployment is still at multi-year lows in just over 10 days time we've got the latest CPI numbers and they're likely to come in around about 3.1% which means Mr Carney's going to have to write a telegram he's going to have to write a telegram he's going to have to write a letter to Philip Hammond the Chancellor he's going to list his inflation target and he's going to have to explain why and the reason is that he can't rate in August and he's exacerbated the inflation shock so by correcting that the hope is that inflation will start to move back to target so the cable outlook for me is buy on dips while above $130.20 for a move back to $132, $132.5, $133 and Euro sterling to drift lower Euro dollar I'm slightly bearish on and Kiwi Yen see if I can find that for you I don't think it's actually here so what I'm going to have to do is look it up so go to the library NZD slash JPY helps if I actually type Z and then you can actually there we go so Kiwi Yen chart not dissimilar to a lot of the other charts Kiwi Yen so this really ties in with my Dolly Yen theory if the Wild Dolly Yen is capped at 1.14.14 Kiwi Yen is really a Kiwi play if Dolly Yen does break above 1.14.14 then obviously all bets are off but ultimately your view on Kiwi Yen needs to be skewed by what you think the Kiwi is going to do Wild Dolly Yen's capped at 1.14.14 and at the moment there does appear to be some semblance of a little bit of a rebound here you've got a little bit of a bullish reversal on Kiwi Yen on the dailies here so if I'm looking for a particular level of resistance on Kiwi Yen really got to be looking at around about 79.26 so if I look at 79.26 on Kiwi Yen if we get a break of 79.26 then we could see a significant move back towards around about 81 so there is some evidence that it could be carving out a bit of a base but while we're below 79.26 look to sell Kiwi Yen on rallies for a pullback to around about 78.5 Alan I'm not sure what you're trying to ask me with respect to the October scare can you be a little bit more a little bit clearer because I don't quite understand the question do you're trying to ask me you said what about the October scare can it creep up eventually oh the every decade crash yeah I mean I did talk about a possible crash because it happened in October the question with respect to a crash is really a question of what's going to drive it and in 87.97 the crash we had the crash but the money had somewhere else to go the money had somewhere else to go in terms of bond markets because interest rates were higher so you can only have a crash if the money that comes out of the stock market has somewhere else to go now at the moment the only other place that if you pull money out of the stock market that it can go is you can sit in cash so for me at the moment the big unknown on any stock market crash where does the money go and I don't have an answer to that now you look at gold prices the money is not going into gold so you could argue it's going into bitcoin there is an awful lot more speculative money going into assets like bitcoin there is an awful lot of speculative money going into specific sectors of the stock market I can give you a good example of that tech you look at Netflix, you look at Amazon you look at Apple, you look at Facebook you look at AMD, the chip makers and Intel there is an awful lot of money going into chip makers because of the power of the chip sets that are needed to basically and data mining the blockchain so the more powerful chips become the much more cryptocurrencies will become very much involved now I am being asked if bitcoin will be offered on CMC we do have plans to offer bitcoin at some point in the future hopefully the plans for that will be advanced sometime in 2018 so yes we do have plans to offer it I don't have a time frame on it quite yet but we want to make sure that if we do offer bitcoin we do it properly and we are able to offer it in a way that our clients can trade it properly so I am hoping that answers your question the reason we had crashes in 87, 97, 2007 was because money had elsewhere the money from the stock market had somewhere else to go at the moment because interest rates are so low it doesn't and that's why it's very very difficult to call for a crash because ultimately you need to have an alternative destination for that money to go in at the moment we don't have one so hopefully that answers your questions with respect to the 2017 crash that's the only reason why I think we haven't seen one this year is that there is no alternative destination for the capital flow to go in the absence of anything else what's the future for cryptocurrency well I think there is a future for it the problem with it is which cryptocurrency is going to survive because there are so many different initial coin offerings some of them are very very dodgy and some of them are probably going to last the distance you've got Ethereum or Ether that's likely to be probably quite a fairly stable platform going forward but they are very speculative and ultimately if you're trading Bitcoin you're going to have to have very deep pockets it's not something that I would be keen to get particularly involved in on a speculative basis it's very much a pun and ultimately it's very very new and it's very very risky so from an investment point of view you've got to be very very circumspect when it comes to cryptocurrencies because given the moves that we've seen over the past two or three days if you can ride out a six or seven percent move in a day then good luck to you if you can't then I'd steer well clear of it has the euro dollar stopped driving the DAX no it hasn't I mean you look at it at the moment the DAX is likely to remain fairly well supported while the euro dollar is fairly weak if we look at the DAX the DAX is slightly flat today but there was a holiday earlier this week and we did see a big move up on at the beginning of the week we look at this big gap here and look at the gains that we've seen this week it's going to be very very difficult for the DAX to really consolidate the gain to really gain any more than it already has thus far so you look at the last two weeks we've broken aggressively higher from twelve thousand nine hundred and we are now thirteen thousand five hundred near as damn it really so we are due a little bit of what I would suggest is a consolidation on the DAX we've gapped higher as a general rule gaps generally get filled so in terms of where we could come back to that area here below thirteen thousand two hundred and fifty is probably going to act as support on any pullback so certainly I think if we see a pullback on the DAX we'll find support through thirteen thousand two hundred and fifty we shouldn't really drop much below that that will get filled it will act as support and then we'll probably go again so again with respect to any stock market pullback look to buy on dips thirteen thousand two hundred and fifty and we could see a little bit of DAX weakness and Euro weakness at the same time that's quite conceivable simply on the basis of the fact that the DAX is due a little bit of a pullback nothing goes up in a straight line the DAX is likely to be the same but I would still expect the DAX to be higher one month from now than it is currently at the moment any other questions ladies and gents otherwise I'll wrap it up for this month quick reminder of the weekly webinar that my colleague David holds on a Monday at twelve fifteen otherwise I'll talk to you all again one month from now in December when we'll be covering the November payrolls report so if there aren't any other questions I'd like to thank you very much for listening and wish you all the best for a great weekend cheers guys, thanks a lot

Peace be upon you and welcome to Making a House a Home with myself, Raghad Barkar and our expert life coach and an Alpi practitioner, Fahima Mohamed, who today will be discussing habits to maintain happiness.  Peace be upon you. Can you tell me what you mean by that and how you can have certain habits to maintain happiness and especially at home? Yes, it does really start with the individual. Even though we're in a family and we have to maintain these routines, it's very difficult to sort of stay in a household for many years and not become complacent with the way in which we speak to each other, the way in which we think towards each other. So I think to have the right psychology as an individual is really, really important and today's households, we lack so much respect and discipline. We lack so much manners because we're so used to each other and we think sometimes it's okay to just sort of blurt things out or say things in a different tone or use a certain language with, you know, we might not even necessarily use with our friends and colleagues. So why should it be appropriate and okay to use within our family members and over time that could, you know, cause resentment, that could cause a lot of like sort of distance between, for example, the spouse or even the parents and children. So there are definitely habits that we as individuals need to look upon ourselves so that we can create and change the way we look at life, change the way we think about life, change the way we speak and how we feel. We do certainly conform to certain norms when we're living with each other, which actually is not necessarily healthy.  So having a mindset which is I'm always going to respect you. I'm always going to speak to you with respect. I'm always going to have regards for you. And even in Islam, you know, within relationships and especially between spouses, they need to be mercy. They need to be forgiveness. There's a lot of complaints within, you know, the household. Oh, they're not pulling their weight or I'm doing more or I'm doing less. And these things are really normal and you think it's okay. And oh, yes, now the new way of, oh, if, you know, if a couple argues that means they love each other, no, it doesn't necessarily work that way. And it's not really healthy. And you're actually teaching and creating bad habits and your children are picking up on that and they're actually going to take it to a level that's probably far beyond what you are doing, which can be really destructive. Okay, so what you're saying is in terms of making your home happier or your house a happier place to be in is by actually starting with the small little habits and then turning that into an environment. Yeah, I mean, we are so used to the way we are and we don't really want to change and we have to be in our comfort zones a lot of the times and any change normally for any human being is seen to be sort of, you know, really uncomfortable and we don't like it and we really resistant. So I think as individuals and as humans, the only way to actually maintain happiness is to constantly grow and develop. Because when you have amount of information, even in Islam, it says knowledge. Knowledge is not just about academic knowledge. It's really about building yourself, building, you know, the way in which we think. And self-development is so important with this. And in any household, if you're going to have self-development, you're going to be looking at yourself and you're going to be hopefully, you know, filtering that and using that as an example as to when which you treat your family members. That is so important. It's no point you doing charity work. It's no point you going outside and doing so good in your job, for example.  And there's blessing and there's barakah when you have happiness in your home.  No one even has that in the house anymore. We're running away from each other. We want to go and do our own things because we feel trapped. We feel that we don't get along. We feel that there's no connection. There's no love. But, you know, as individuals as well, we need to change our mindset to think that we're in this commitment, we're in this responsibility and Allah, we have promised Allah to have this sort of like commitment. We have made a promise to stay in this marriage, to be in a household, to bring it up and the teachings of the affidavit. It shows that we have to make our homes happy and that means itself sacrifice. We need to put others first. We don't do that. It is funny that you say that because a lot of people consider their homes as where they can be themselves kind of thing. You can be yourself. Yeah, no, in terms of like, you know, I don't want to try mean eyes. I've come back from work and I'm in a bad mood and I want to let that out or I've got some negative energy. I want to let that out and the only place I can let it out is at home. So, you know, the last place I want to put an effort in or try hard is at home. That's what a lot of people will argue, which is obviously wrong. But how would we change their mindset? That is a very interesting point and that is very true. And yes, your home should be where you need to be. But hopefully, you know, it'll be like a balance. So if the husband or the wife that's coming home feel that they need to release some stress, you know, with regards to, you know, the pressures outside, that also should be allowed. But what makes it worse is the other person is not allowing it and not having the empathy towards it. That's when it becomes a problem and an issue because instead of listening to the other person and understanding, they're like, why are you being like this? Because it should be about me. You know, it's having a different way of looking at life and each one having their own time to let it out. And if one is letting off steam, the other one cannot be doing the same. There has to be a balance. That's true. That is what I'm trying to... Where the problem lies, isn't it? The husband or the wife is in a bad mood or stressed out about something and the other one says, what's wrong with you? Why are you stressed out? There's no mercy. That's what it turns into. So, you know, you definitely should have that peace at home. Allah has brought, you know, marriage and spouses for each other so that there's going to be peace. But only if you perform and conform in the right manner and ways. So, you're going to have empathy for each other. You're going to have love for each other and it's going to be consistent. And you've got to love that person even when you don't like them. You've got to have to make that. You go to any self-development course in class. They tell you the most, you know, top gurus in development. They will tell you that in order to be successful in life, you've got to do things when you don't want and that's not just in business. That's in your home. And the only way you can be successful, whether it's in business or happiness or fulfillment generally, is to do things when you don't want to. So then you do that and you create that habit at home because there's going to be moments and there's going to be plenty of those moments in life where your children are going to annoy you, where your life is going to not go the way that you planned, where, you know, the husband or the wife is not going to be looking or feeling or giving you that love and attention that they did at the beginning. But you still have to perform in the way that you promised.  It may not be when you want, but that becomes strength within you. And that's the feeling that you can actually create in your household and you are not just creating it for yourself, you're actually going to change by you being that way. You might even change the, you know, the responses and the reactions from your partner, for example, and you're going to be showing and teaching your children as well. So all these habits are really important and it starts with the psychology, the way in which you think you behave and your thoughts as I started the show when I talked about, you know, how your thoughts, you know, can manifest in your actions, in your destiny. You know, all of these things make a huge difference. People want to be successful. They want to be fulfilled. They want to be happy. They want to think, I'm going to do it for me. No, you do it because you're giving someone else something first. You make a, put that smile on your child's face in the morning because you're there to do it. That's when you're going to have the success and buttock heart when you go to work, for example. We don't realize how these things filter and how these things carry forward in our daily lives. Well, can you go back to that first series when you think about the thought turns into an action, the action turns into habits?  You know, I do a lot of research on that and it does help with coaching. To be honest, the way in which we think does, you know, conform with the our actions. And to be honest, we don't, we might think it's conscious of conscious, whatever it may be unconsciously, but our mind is very, very powerful. And our religion does give us that way of, you know, constantly encouraging us to study and to learn and seek knowledge because it's all in the mind. And if we're going to live in the backward way of thinking or in a cultural way of thinking, it's stopping us from growing. So our mind needs to grow.  In order for you to make, have successes, you need to obviously, you know, build yourself. And the only way you're going to do that is to develop yourself and develop yourself. In ways in how you think and understanding the way in which the world works right now. Building those, you know, those gaps and there's, you know, building those bridges and bringing those gaps closer within generations, within, you know, different sort of cultures and societies and in your own home, especially, because there's different generations there. There's the grandparents, there's the parents, there's the children. There's different, even intermarriages with interfaiths with regards to different cultures. So we need to understand and learn about that. And, you know, and help each other in that way. And I think that, you know, with children especially, they learn a lot by your actions and by what they see more than what you say. So happiness is something that, you know, yes, as individuals, we all look at happiness differently, but I think real happiness is you giving and you growing. Yeah, well, you mentioned about children learning from our actions more than anything else. Well, you know, there's a lot of studies that have shown that to be true, that the first way of a child learning is through your actions, through your habits. They're just looking at what you're doing and they will copy exactly the way you behave. So no matter how much you tell them, something is right and wrong, if you're not acting that way, it won't mean anything really. Yeah, I mean, it's really down to the individual. It's really, it's challenging being in a family home, in a family unit where there's different personalities, there's different developmental stages and each one is going through their own journeys and we don't necessarily communicate this. So, you know, and sometimes we just have expectations as that, oh, they should know, they know me, we've been married for years or we've lived together, but there's no communication and there's no sort of interaction about how each other feels, about what each other wants and it needs to be constant because it changes over time. So when we have that relationship with each other and we build it and even if we lose those things, we don't just give up, you know, never, ever give up in life. If you give up on your own family, how are you going to ever succeed in life generally? You know, like I mentioned a few weeks back, you know, people will only want to work with you if you've got a strong household, if you've got and maintain good relationships within your family members, even when you don't like them, even when there's challenging characters in there and you can still maintain and still get along, that builds strength, that builds so much sort of character and you know, I think it's really important because you're bringing something to the table which is not normal and to be able to master that, then you can master anything outside your home and that's when you go to development courses and they talk about these things, even outside religion where even our religion states it, but you know, it talks about, you know, having to do things when you don't want to do it, and that's when you can face a challenge when it comes to you. So when you feel like you don't really love your wife or there's no connection or there's no sort of real, you know, sort of feeling between you, you've got to push and work towards that because it was there and there's so many different areas and you know, places that you can turn to like therapy or counseling that you can make it work and sometimes you can actually build something that is even stronger than before, not to say that if things go wrong, you've got to up and leave and start fresh again. And most of the time you end up not even doing that and it's actually worse. So, you know, invest in your family. That's your legacy. That's actually your future. That's your success and that's your happiness.  Your home is your, you know, your growth for the future and those branches and those leaves that will come from it. That's your actual inspiration for the future. People want to be successful and happy. You look at your home, you build your home and that is the people that are in it.  That's why those people that actually just do that by themselves, they end up depressed, they end up suicidal, they end up with anxiousness because they still think I've made all this money, I've done all of these things, I've got the job, I've got the profession, but I'm still not happy. Now what? Now what? Because your home is where you need to build that happiness and invest in yourself by learning these techniques, by having these within you. Don't just say I'm empathetic, be empathetic. Yeah, and I just mentioned invest in yourself. Isn't the best investment when you invest in your children?  Yeah, of course, but then not that everyone has the tools for this, not everyone has the strategies for this.  So as adults, we think that we've come to an age and we have wisdom, but no, the wisdom is knowing that there's still more to learn. There's always room for improvement and then you bring that forward to your family and you experiment and you explore with them and you say that, you know, I've learned this from my course, I've done this. Now let me be that, let me show it and who else better to show it with to show all that kindness, that unconditional love, whatever you say that you've got, compassion, whatever it may be, do that with your own family members. Be that person and you'll see the fruits of that, grow into something even better than you could ever create for yourself. Okay, well, the title of today's discussion was habits of maintaining happiness. So what things can we do? Because as we mentioned earlier, we're saying that sometimes you come home and you've got a lot of stress or you're just not in the best of moods. What habits can you get into as a couple or as a family to put yourself in a better mood or to get out of that dark cloud that you're in? Okay, well, it's all about changing your state of mind. And it's really powerful in, I work with clients one-on-one with changing their state of mind instantly. So, you know, NLP does that. So when you have, or even just saying things like, basically, there's always a positive alternative to any situation. So when you have these ways of thinking, in NLP we have presuppositions. So there's no such thing as failure, there's feedback, for example. So when you're talking to your child, for example, or they come back and they haven't done anything, it's not about telling them that you've done wrong and you've done badly in your exam. It's like, what have you learned from it? And if you have an argument with your, or you have a strong feeling, which is negative towards your spouse, for example, because they've done something or they haven't done something, then it's about understanding, for example. So it's about switching that state of mind in an instant. And that only can come from you pausing and realizing and not reacting and not responding. And when you do respond, when you do react, it's gotta be something where you know that you would like to be spoken to as well. You don't just give it to them because you've got that one up on them because they haven't done something. So you call them out constantly because that is complaining. Instead of complaining, be content. These sort of things, so positive alternative, instead of complaining, be content. Instead of moaning, show empathy, show understanding. All of these things are so basic. Yes, they're like, it's so obvious, it's so cliche. When you practice it, when you really practice it and it becomes a habit, you change your ways and you want to change other people. You change yourself and that will create the changes in your household. And that is so basic and that's so few. But when you sit in a session with me, we can go through it a lot deeper and we can do things in a lot more towards your way of living and it will be according to the way you do things and how you can open up to how it works in your household because there are some really deep issues in every household and everyone's running away from it. Everyone thinking that marriage is a trap or we can just move on and we can just do things and we can leave our families as long as we're providing financially or we come once in a while, that's family. No, you don't realize the impact of family. You don't know the blessing of family. You don't know the buttock of family if you really just think of it in that way. You know, you need to build your mind. You need to understand what it means to be in a family. That's why this show I have created the concepts and the titles because it is so important that our society is breaking down because the foundations are not being met and the foundations need to be known. Their basic knowledge needs to be adhered to. They need to practice in order for us to move forward in life. Yeah, and so panel, I know we're thinking about being content and that's the ultimate happiness really. It's very easy to be content to some extent because you just have to look at what you do have and the blessings that you do have rather than look at the things that you don't have which a lot of people have fallen into that habit of looking at what they don't have. Oh, you know what? If I have this, then I'll be happy or if I get this, I'll be happy or this person has that, that's why they're happy and you forget to look at what you've got and that's what actually is making you happy. It can make you happy. What is learning to focus your mind. We forget to do that and that's the simplest habit that we can do and that will give us ultimate content and ultimate happiness, to be honest. Yeah, I mean, it's really about focusing your mind. There's three things we have control over and maybe I've mentioned this before but I will say it again. It's three things that you have control over. One is what you focus on. So if you're gonna focus on a negative it's gonna always be negative and it's gonna elevate.  Yeah, it's very easy. That is very simple to do but you can focus on that if you want or you can focus on the alternative positive. You can focus on being content. You can focus on being empathetic and understanding, for example. Showing unconditional love in a family is so vital because when you don't want to be there you still gotta be there for your family. When you don't like them, you still gotta show love to your children and even to your wife and your husband.  Your own state is to actually push through those barriers and then secondly is focusing on what meaning you give to things. We always change the meanings and we can change it. It can mean nothing or it can mean something. So basically what does something mean to you and where does that come from? So we understand if they're tired and if they don't wanna go out does that mean they don't actually feel love for us and they don't actually, what does it mean they're just really tired? So it's all these things that we do and the other thing, the other focus is one of the control we have is what do we do when we are faced with a challenge? And the thing is a lot of us crack and break. A lot of us fall, a lot of us run and we give up. A lot of us think we can get something better outside. It doesn't work that way. We are blessed. Allah has put us in a household, in a family and we need to work with it and we have to do whatever it takes so when if it ever comes to a stage where you walk away you've done everything. So you know, no matter what I have done for everything because I'm gonna be answered for that. Ultimately we are going to be accountable. So we need to take this seriously. Don't just think that building houses is the same as building a home. It's not. When you have that home, you treasure it. It is a real treasure. It's everything. Absolutely. If you can't take care of it, if you can't nourish it, nurture it, then there must be something wrong possibly with you first. And then if not with you then try and see what is wrong and try and fix it rather than run away. No, never give up, never give up. That's an investment, a complete investment. Thank you so much Fahima and I hope all the viewers have understood about habits of actually creating happiness within the home and how easy it is just to look at the positives and try to forget about the negatives. And we're gonna have a short break now inshallah. An after break we'll be taking some of your questions and Fahima inshallah will be able to answer them and we'll be back soon. Thank you. Salaam alaikum and welcome to the second part of our show of making your house a home. And we're back with some of your questions, Salaam Fahima. Alaykum Salaam. Okay, so my first question is from Fatima and she says, what steps can one take if they feel that there is no emotional connection with their family members at home? I mean, that's a very interesting question because at the end of the day, what is her idea of emotional connection? If I was sat with my client with that because everyone has a different idea but I will just sort of make it up so that hopefully I can give some sort of different sort of ideas and strategies. Emotions are very up and down and if you want emotional connection then it starts by sharing. So to be open and a lot of people they think they have an emotional connection and that could be done because they do the same things, they eat the same way, they have the same routine but it's about sharing things and it doesn't have to be similar. So people sort of build themselves apart even in families because they're not actually engaging and liking in doing the same activities, for example. So when you wanna build emotional connection it's about just trying to learn about the other person and trying to do what they like to do and invite yourself to do what they want and that could build some sort of emotional connection because you're actually taking the time out to do something for somebody else. So you're saying that connectivity maybe. So you're saying that an emotional connection starts off with understanding one another first, possibly having something in common and then you can take it from there. That's what I'm saying, you don't need to have something in common. A lot of people, they go apart because they feel there's no common ground. There doesn't need to be a common ground. We don't all have to like the same things at the same time and a lot of relationships break because they all feel they have to be similar and like and want and do but it's about liking what the other person wants, giving yourself up. Again, it's not about being self-centered. It's not about doing what you want and wanting the other person to do what you like. It should be the other way around and eventually it will come back to you where they'll be doing what you want because you've shown that you're doing what they want and then you know your emotional connection is about if you love that person and if you feel for that person in whichever form, whichever stage then you'll be willing to do that and you'll be willing to take those steps and that's why it's easy for you to have where you'd have to still support them and still stand by them even when you don't like them and you don't agree with their opinions or their ways is that's when the unconditional love comes in because you have that attachment or that emotion towards that person. You want emotional connection that means you feel something for them. So share it and there's many ways of sharing it and I think also when you just support people even when they least expect it because everyone wants to do things their way. So it's about giving up, giving up yourself for somebody else. We all have a blueprint and a story of an image of how things should be. We shouldn't have that. We should just go with what's there and what's given for us and make it work especially within our families. Okay. I have a question from Ghadir and she asks what can one do if they feel that their home is not peaceful and a comfortable environment? Again, we want to know what do they mean by peaceful and what's causing it not to be peaceful and comfortable as well. Everyone has a different view and image and perspective on what their comforts may be. So I just know that to create a habit in our households, it starts without practice and practice of Islam, for example, having gone on in the background every morning, having a routine, you don't realize the blessings. There are certain sodas even that brings about blessing, barakah, and happiness in the home. If you listen to sort of a bakara, for example, and there's so many others. If every morning we had five minutes that we would listen in the background, instead of having the TV on, you have that in the background while you're preparing breakfast, while the kids are eating and that's a routine. You don't realize that it could be so enlightening. It can actually change someone's mood because that is being played in the background. So these things, these habits are psychological, yes, but the practice of Islam is the main thing. And then when you have the practice of Islam, not just just doing the five time Salah, but in between your Salah, how you treat people, how you talk and the other extras that you do are on top of your Salah where you're actually gonna be listening to Quran more, where you're gonna be actually avoiding even haram in the house, like maybe listening to songs, for example. You know, the angels don't visit. So that can maybe cause more exactly tension. It can accelerate things which will probably not necessarily accelerate it. For example, you have something peaceful. So these things are really important to create comfort because you don't need to know what comfort do I need? People say, well, it's comforting to listen to classical music. Fair enough, that can be for certain times, but at the end of the day, what is your ultimate reason, meaning and purpose for being here? And if you wanna create real peace, real solace in your household, then these are the things that you need to do.  When you walk out the door, when you entering the house, say Bismillah, say Assalamu Alaikum, you know, say, you know, a Surah, which is even short before you enter so that even that pressure from outside does not enter in with you.  And, you know, our religion has so much of that. We just don't practice it and we forget. And if you make that as a habit, it doesn't mean it's in your household. It's with every step that you take wherever you go. You'll have that peace. And comfort. Insha'Allah. I have a question from Ali and he says, how can one approach family members after having constant arguments and after the arguments diffuse, how do you diffuse that situation? You know, again, like I said, it's about giving up. A lot of us, we have egos and we want to be right and we want to say things because it's our point of view. But when someone even hurts you, we can hurt them back or we have a choice to understand why they're behaving and being in that way. So we need to be like people of real sort of like empathy where we have to understand why did they come to that point where there has to be an argument, what created it. And listen. Listen with understanding and meaning, not listening to sort of counteract or confront. You know, a lot of the times we want to counter people because we want to come across the one with the loudest voice and the one with the best way of saying it so that we push the other person down and having the last word. So yes, we're going to have disagreements. We're going to have arguments. There's going to be differences of opinions even if a family has been brought up with the same values and beliefs. We have a different way of looking at it and taking it upon ourselves through our own personal experiences, what we face in our days, even if we're going to school, we have different ways of experiencing things and we bring that back and we look at things differently. So we need to have understanding of how the other person thinks. And yes, it's difficult. You're not a psychologist, but you have family meetings. You air things out. You give each one a chance to speak. We need to come into today's day and not just do things the old way, even in this Imam Ali alaihi salam race, don't raise your kids as you were raised. Be more open with your children. Let them have the voice. Let them, you know, make yourself hear them. You know, make them be part of that family in your decision making, in whatever it is that you're doing and saying and speaking instead of just dictating to them. And that could bring that connection. That could even diffuse arguments because each one has a say. I mean, I'm only talking generally because I'm not sure the exact scenario of arguments or whatever. I'm just making it very general. Obviously, there'll be different, you know, habits that we need to create and different ways of dealing with it, but I'm just making it very general, you know, in my mind as to what it could be. So, but I think it's a lot about, you know, being understanding towards the other person and really instead of taking things personal, step outside yourself and analyze it from a different point of view. And I think that could bring any sort of argument and any sort of like, you know, disagreement to a halt where, you know, even the other person might say, well, actually she's, or he's actually listening to me. And when they're being heard, when they're being understood, even if it's not being agreed, that alone brings that tone to a different level where they can actually be maybe conversation and they can actually be better conversations in the future because you have to have respect. And I think a lot of households, they lose respect for one another because they're so familiar with each other. But you have to constantly remind yourself, there's respect for the older, there's respect for the younger, there's respect for each other as partners, there's respect for each other. You know, we each of us have our rights, you know, children have their rights, wives, husbands, male, female, we need to remember that and we need to go over that knowledge, we need to build it and we need to instill it in our habits so that when we are faced with these challenges of arguments of, you know, sort of, I don't know, emotional sort of, you know, lack of emotions or whatever it may be that all of these things are in put in place, am I being respectful? Am I being understanding? Am I being empathetic? Am I actually listening? You know, all of these things, am I showing compassion? What is compassion to me? To somebody else could mean something totally different. So you need to seek that sort of knowledge and advice, go outside and develop yourselves that you have these insights that you can explore and you can relay and relate to the rest of your family members. Thank you so much, Fahima. I just wanted to pick up something you said in answering this question. You mentioned something about family meetings and I'm a strong believer in actually having family meetings and I just feel like it's actually very, very healthy for a family to sit around a table and have that meeting, especially in situations like this, where everyone can air out their opinions, what they feel about certain situations, what they feel about one another and it's an inner environment which is a safe environment for everything. So you can say what you feel without being judged or attacked. I think a lot of families should... That's a very good habit to create. Take that as a habit and it's creating that, maybe even once a month. I think it needs to be regular. Is it a week or anything? No, I totally agree. But every now and then, I think it's very, very healthy for a family to sit together and have that family meeting and you just mentioned that. It's true and the thing is like you just also said, which I picked up on having it regular because things change and when things are not spoken about, even if it means husband and wife having it between themselves and then going and including the children at a later stage, so they're on the same team and on the same page because that's when the respect will be there because you don't want to be arguing or having differences of opinions in front of your children because they're going to be confused if you are confused in that way. And when it's called a family meeting, so it's under that umbrella or a family meeting. So like I said earlier, like you're in a safe kind of space, so when you tell your husband something and your husband tells the wife something, the opposite, our party wouldn't feel attacked or should not feel attacked. It's just your opinion and how you feel. And I think that's a very healthy place to be in. Definitely. And in that way, you're creating values and beliefs within your household system and that can be shared with your children but it has to be consistent. It has to be constant whether like you said every fortnight, every month because things are happening all the time, things are changing, the children are developing, you're going through your own experiences so that they could be an understanding that, oh, but you know, I had a meeting that day so that's why I couldn't do it and you know, or I couldn't make your appointment and I couldn't come to your football game and it's not going to be embedded in that child that oh, my mom and dad, they don't care about me because you know, we create these stories in our minds because we're not actually being told, we're not actually being explained. Wow, yeah. And you know, these, and then it sort of like escalates and it creates even bigger problems. So these are very healthy habits to have in the household. Insha'Allah, insha'Allah. But that's the aim of the show is to implant healthier habits. Definitely. In everyone's home, insha'Allah. So I have one last question from Esan and he asks, what can one do if they feel that they can anticipate an argument about to start? How do they avoid that? Okay, well physically you can remove those two people from the same room. Yeah. But at the same time, on a serious note, if you have that connection with them, then you know, you talk to them separately and maybe talk also to each other on the other side of things, like you know, to say, well, actually I've spoken to that person and this is what it really is and you know, and then do the same.  If say you have like, you know, siblings and there's an argument and you know, we might look at it as something trivial, but when you get older, those arguments between siblings, especially when they're older, can be very, very like, you know, destructive and they can be very serious and they can cause a lot of like, rift for the rest of the family and it can be very awkward in a lot of, you know, occasions. So when you know that things are building up, when you know that there's something there, you can intervene and you can diffuse and you can put the fire out, you know, by understanding each person's point of view, by actually, you know, talking to each other and then bringing them together and you actually being present so that there is someone there who is going to be fair because sometimes when two people are very heated and they come together, it's all about them trying to just put their point across. But then you, if you have the skill of saying, well, I can understand where she's coming from. Can you see that? You know, like being the coach for example, you know, and in a coaching environment, when I do relationship coaching and I do couples coaching, it is, it can be where it's two people, you know, that have these sort of conflicts and you know, I will sit there and I will give them a chance to speak and also give them a chance to reflect what the other person is saying so that they actually understand it because we give ourselves that own way of thinking and meaning, which is totally wrong and it just escalates what we're feeling inside when it should actually be diffusing it. So when I do couples coaching, it's very important that the other person listens and reflects what the other person's saying so that they have an understanding and when you're in that process of reflecting what the other person is saying, even if it's like she said this to me and then the other person's like, yeah, she's saying that I said that to her, that few seconds of actually repeating what the other person has said makes them think, makes them reflect, makes them go back and actually think actually I did say it like that, I did mean it like that, I didn't actually mean it like that but it became a trust and that's how it sounded. I can understand where she's coming from. So I think in this sort of situation, if you have the skill or you gain the skills of being in a coaching sort of situation where you can actually mediate in that very clever technique and have a strategy, then it can be so amazing and powerful that you could diffuse things and you can make people love each other again and be together again and think that actually what we do normally is just have our own feelings, we keep it within ourselves, we wanna stay away from families and for years and months we can go through this and it's so damaging and it's so sad, especially when there's occasions and there's children involved and they don't get to see each other for so long and it's really a sad situation when it can really be diffused and people do need to sit down and talk, people need to step down from even their egos, people need to also take responsibility for other people being that way because of how they are. So there's a lot of tools that I have in these sort of individual cases and I hope that I've highlighted a few so that people can take it upon themselves to educate, learn, develop and grow so that they can be better, not just for themselves but especially to the rest of their family members. Okay, thank you so much, Mahima. We're coming towards the end of a show unfortunately so we can't answer any more questions for today but inshallah the questions that we have answered have been helpful to everyone watching and once again, Mahima, thank you so much for being here and it's been a pleasure listening to you and gaining so much, so much knowledge. Alhamdulillah, Shukr that we have someone like you on this channel and we're coming towards the end of the show for today and inshallah we'll be back again with some more topics with Mahima. Mahima. If you've been affected by the following topics raised in this episode, please contact your local GP or Fahima Muhammad on coachfm1athotmail.com.

rules also can be added one among the tools for imbriving your scientific weather forecast similar to your ITK Integinous Tradition Knowledge that we will be doing for today's discussion so here the cause and effect are combined scientifically thumb rules very scientifically quantified in year to the actual for the benefit of mass and easy adoption very easy to adopt thumb rules so when you merge these three these means scientific weather forecast ITK and thumb rules your aggro advisory validity is still improved to the greater level and farmers may have or may develop confidence on your aggro advisories so this is a good opportunity to learn more on the thumb rules to be used one is rainfall what is a thumb rule here if you get 5 to 10mm of rainfall enough soil moisture to support your crop 5 to 10mm 5 to 10mm means through rain gauge you measure the rainfall and you take this then when this is the case you go for plant protection for plant protection some amount of soil moisture is required when you apply any chemicals on the plant surface the plant surface develop some hotness or temperature leaf temperature gets increased similar to what we have studied with reference to higher argage so we have to cool the plant for cooling the plant there must be some rainfall or go for single irrigation 5 to 10mm then if the rainfall of a particular area time is 10 to 12mm during the season you go for hand wading and hoeing so these are all thumb rules rule is here something is there based on that thumb rule is developed when the rainfall is 12 to 15mm you go for fertilizer application if the fertilizer is applied without any soil moisture means it is a waste it does not go into the soil profile it is not being taken by your plant so some amount of moisture is required so 12 to 15mm go for fertilizer application in the case of the irrigated agriculture moisture is not a limiting factor because after application of fertilizer you can provide irrigation but for dry land agriculture with the receipt of rainfall you have to decide your farm operation for that this knowledge would be highly useful to you if a rainfall is 25 to 30mm sowing under dry land can be done or even under irrigated condition you can start sowing by saving your groundwater so integrated management combining groundwater as well as your rainfall then greater than 30mm there would be soil loss through soil erosion so take appropriate action against soil erosion and water conservation technologies so these are all thumb rules see on this side science is there this side what is the decision to be taken based on our past experiences you are combining both together then the temperature if the day temperature is greater than 32 degree centigrade and continue to for a week this environment make sucking pest to come in larger numbers and feed the our crops so initiation of sucking pest infestation and say planning for plant protection plan yourself when the temperature is more than 32 degree centigrade and continue to for a week when the night temperature that is minimum temperature lesser than 20 degree and continued for a week germination of disease 4 and hence planning for plant protection when the night temperature falls below 20 degree centigrade means the leaf moisture would be more this force that have fallen already on the leaf tries to germinate with the moisture available from the leaf so disease incidence would be initiating when the day temperature is more than 34 degree centigrade and continues provide irrigation immediately to protect the crop from early maturity and stresses one example I like to say for this in one part of Tamil Nadu there was a sudden fall on tomato price it was selling last week about 50 rupees per kilogram but suddenly the price has fallen to 10 rupees per kilogram what happened there is good amount of arable in the market then we examined with the farmers we were able to understand that there was high temperature more than 34 degree centigrade in the last two weeks so the maturity the fruits had turned full maturity and arrived to the market then we reviewed the literature it was saying that when the temperature is more than 34 degree centigrade immediately you provide irrigation then your maturity will be stopped so in the next session with the same event of 34 degree centigrade we practiced irrigation to the tomato crop and we could see very interestingly that the science was proved that about 35 degree with irrigation the crop is so good as and it came to maturity at regular intervals rather not suddenly so like that these are all some thumb rules greatly to be integrated for our developing our agro advisories now wind speed see the wind speed is lesser than 5 kilometer classically we say it is very calm plant protection, hand wading and hoeing can be done plant protection means no drifting hand wading and hoeing means no spread of your soils over the people working in the field then 10 to 15 kilometer winnowing of the produce without any energy mechanical energy electrical energy through natural energy you can clean your produce in 15 to 20 plus rainfall greater than 25 mm propping of sugar cane is necessary otherwise it may get fall wind speed greater than 20 propping of sugar cane more than 8 months and banana then wind speed of greater than 20 plus minimum temperature lesser than 20 degree centigrade plus evening harvest of greater than 60 percent ABD makes spread of disease so we have to take plant protection and everything so this is the way we have to use these developed information for developing our agro advisories as well as improving the preciseness of our weather forecast now come to the relative humidity when the evening relative humidity is more than 60 and continued for a week disease initiation will start like minimum temperature and evening harvest more than 60 with a minimum temperature of 20 degree wind speed of 15 then ABD makes spread of the disease so epidemic is very very very important so these are the weather elements that help to carry the disease further away and spread very intensively then some things present disease forecast for long range this is published available in many books so mean air temperature if it is greater than 30 degree centigrade during December January and February conflict beetle infestation would be more in maize crop beetle will come so here tobacco will be heavily affected with blue fungi in America some other countries similarly it is given for India yellow wheat purple rust and black wheat rust so all those will come when these things are observed in a particular environment so these are all some thumb rules that can be used effectively one to improve your weather forecast accuracy two to improve your agro advisory preparations so in addition to scientific weather forecast you have to utilize the thumb rules and also indigenous traditional knowledge then you will be always successful in reducing the crop protection disc so you will be seen in the next class thank you very much
