This is TFNN, the Tiger Financial News Network Update. Good morning everyone, Basel Chapman here. This is the 9 o'clock Tiger Financial News Network Market Update. We're looking at the Dow. I'm going to go to the futures because the market hasn't opened, it opens at 9.30 Eastern Time. The Dow futures are down 6.30 at 30,728. So we are so close to taking out the left side low of May the 20th, 30,560 in the pattern that I call the dreaded H. And that just says be careful because if you significantly take that out you can go a lot lower. So how it deals on a closing basis with this pattern straight down, make an arch formation failure to peak A or B and that's got to be real careful or it can have a turnaround and then make a little H pattern going to an M pattern. So the close today is going to be absolutely imperative. If it closes ugly and then tomorrow is even uglier, it will be unusually big in market lows, significant lows for a decent rally on a Friday or a Monday. So this is a day that might happen. We'll talk about the VIX right now because the VIX trading at 32.74 after 2.50 this afternoon Eastern Time is trading up near the 32.75 right now. Because up in the 33s and the market is holding terribly just at the lows of the day it can get really get worse into the close. We're looking for the opposite would be if the Dow somehow has a decent rally a little later on and then it's only down like 320 and then down 280 and as we get into 3 o'clock it starts to improve. It means here we go again we could get one of those balances maybe shorter in duration than the previous ones but at least some kind of amelioration of this world is spoken about the inflationary aspect. We're looking at the S&P right now, let me just give you the S&P, the ES, the E-mini is trading down at 94. It's taken out the left side low of May of 3809. The low so far today is 37.98 is not a good sign. The day hasn't even begun. The day is not even young it hasn't begun, still in the birthing phase. We're looking at the QQQs, let's go to the NQ, NQ is down very sharp, we also took out the left side low. We're looking at gold, gold has been down very sharp as well down 30 bucks. I couldn't get the bull hold above the 200 period moving average. We're looking at Crudel pulling back just a little bit that's down to at 118.70. Have a great day. Thank you for Tom O'Brien, Tom O'Jr. This is Mark of Tickle, a fabulous show and a great program for the rest of the day.


Just wanted you to think about this the idea of you working your legs working his legs stretching Getting your positioning thinking about how you'd want to ride like if I'm riding him right now How would I want to be sitting so I do this all before I get on so that it's already the vision is in my mind Because when I have a vision in my mind my body thinks I've done it already Right, and if you don't believe me Talk to like professional athletes that use like sports psychologists, and what do they talk about? Visualizing so what better place than on the ground and so so much of the time people will say well I don't need groundwork with my horse Well, maybe your horse doesn't but maybe they do the second question about the mind pertaining to the mind of the horse would be Does your horse understand what you're asking? But it doesn't respond appropriately or like you'd like it to like husbands Sometimes take off the garbage. Okay This is your horse do that.  So Do they understand and do they respond? Appropriately that makes a difference on if I get firm. It's interesting the mind of the horse We make it out to be some it's so important. It's everything. It's not that complicated With those three questions the life of the horse is that scale zero to 100 we talked about that the body of the horse Will come third The body is super important, and it's all connected. It's all connected but the body Will naturally come if you've got the mind and the life So I need his life to come down a little bit more so I can mount up and then he waits for me Now, you know why he waited for me he waited for me because My groundwork I climbed up on the block and I gave him a rest, right? So I patterned that concept Now if you get on your horse and Your horse walks off Think about that. It's very Significant If you get on your horse and your horse walks off with you and it does happen sometimes But if that's a regular occurrence Your horse learns to get out from underneath you and it learns to go forward It doesn't wait for you and that's communication. It needs to wait So you get a horse standing and if you get on and they walk forward Chances are a lot of your ride that horse is going to be forward because that's the first thing you did when you got on You sat down and it went forward so you have to get a horse to kind of wait for you now I'm on him He's tuned into me You know, I can see this in his ears and so let's see if I could get him to look somewhere else I'm gonna have him look over to the right now How I did that that headlight thing that I did leading So I took that headlight and I could do the same thing over here take that headlight You know or over here take that headlight now if I was lacking if he's lacking a little bit in response I could work I could wiggle a little leg and that would draw his ear and draw his mind And it would be like if somebody walked up to you and you didn't know they're behind you and they tapped on your right shoulder And you go oh hi Right, so it's the same thing with my leg if I were to tap on my leg use my leg It would draw him. I Could use my rain the same manner so what I could do is I could work he's really feeling for me here and if I look here He looked here and and so he was really going off of my front side my headlight and Where I was focused that was excellent. So now we're gonna work this side so what I'll do here is I'll add a little rain and I'll just sort of squeeze release or I'll I call it pulsing I'll pulse the rain just like again tapping on his shoulder now I could use my leg and I could have him look over here. I Could use my rain to have him look left Look at those ears came up or I could use my rain in my leg And I could use that together and that is where we start so here. I use rain and leg so now left rain left leg Right rain right leg. I wouldn't mind his ears to go forward on those people Walking well good enough. I'll take that. I wanted that but he looked over I wanted him to look there, but he looked over here now. How about over here and So see those ears the ears point to where the eyes are looking the eyes are looking at what that horse is most interested in true or false Makes sense if they're nervous they look at it right if they're curious they look at it if you're boring to them And we're insignificant to our horse. They don't look at you. They look everywhere else, right? So it's interesting


I feel bad that it's kind of sprinkly and drizzly out there because I was really excited to perhaps take a group of us out to see the new little mini pivot. Last year when we weren't able to all meet in person we actually had the first year of research at the second and new pivot that Hoverson Farms put up for potato research at NDSU or University of Minnesota so hopefully everybody at some point in time has an opportunity to go out there and see the fantastic trials that are being produced out there. And we extend a huge thank you to Hoverson Farms for being so supportive of all of the potato research that we do. While I'm on thank yous I have a huge list of thank yous thanks to the Northern Plains Potato Growers Association for putting together all of today's events. As most of you know we're starting here at Hoverson Farms but then we're moving north to Inkster and we're finishing up the day with a nice barbecue at Oberk Storage at Hoople North Dakota and as far as the breeding program goes while we're here at Hoverson Farms I present a lot of our russet material that's coming through the breeding program but when we get to our final stop this evening there the focus is more on the fresh market as well as the chip processing market and what potatoes are coming through the breeding program suitable for those market types. Additional thanks beyond Hoverson Farms and Northern Plains Potato Growers Association I would like to extend a thank you to my team and I guess before I do that hopefully they're all sort of where I can have them raise their hand or they can be seen. On the table along this south wall where the potato display is is a handout and there's a number of copies so please feel free to take that it is for the whole entire day so if you you know start here this morning and get a chance to see the russet potatoes the same handout but the back pages are where the information about the reds and the chippers is located. Okay now that maybe my crew will have been located obviously as a potato breeder first of all you can't just do everything by yourself. There is a tremendous amount of collaboration as Laura mentioned our two programs are doing a lot of work together. We have a super team at NDSU from Gary, Dr. Julie Pashie, Andy, Dr. Harleen Hatterman Valente we're doing more and more work with Dr. Apollo Flores from Ag Systems Bioengineering and so potato improvement is really a collaboration between a lot of different team players. So my breeding team is made up of Dick Nilles he's been the research technician on the team for I don't know 15 years long time anyway so most of you see him when we're planting or harvesting and he's driving the tractor. I have a number of graduate students that work on our project and so the first one I would like to introduce is Hashim and Edie. Hashim is from Nigeria and this is his second year and he has been working on herbicide sensitivity screening project with Dr. Hatterman Valente and Dr. Flores and I and so he's developing a rapid method to accurately estimate if our advancing selections are sensitive to Senncor or to Metribusen. Tannis Anderson is a second year master student as well and she is helping my program move into the 21st century but Tannis is working on extracting dihapoids or diploids from our tetraploid potatoes and so I have her started working with Dakota Trailblazer because Trailblazer has just been a magnificent clone and possesses so many resistances and is so fun from a sustainability aspect requiring low amounts of fertilizer and water and fungicides and so she's working on that project with me and today I have a new graduate student David and David just arrived from Kenya about two weeks ago and he hasn't selected this project yet but he made with Dr. Munever, Dr. Masi and I or he may wind up working on a project with Dr. Pashie and Dr. Shannon and I and she worked hourly with my program last year and during the course of the school year started to do an undergraduate research project and her project actually is here at the mini pivot and is the result of a specialty block grant that Dr. Seekor and Dr. Robinson and I received and it has to do with and the other person that works on it as well is Dr. McCrae it has to do with aphoil which is a crop oil that we use to try to deter aphid feeding and it works by actually cleaning the stylet off as aphids are probing from one potato plant to the next and so Elizabeth has been working with that part of our project is because seed potato growers particularly that are using aphoil on a minimally once every seven day application rate during the summertime we're having a hard time getting good vine kill in a timely manner and so Elizabeth has taken on this project as an undergraduate because during COVID we were unable to secure a graduate student and so it's been very exciting so that is my team that is with me today. As far as the potatoes hopefully everybody saw there's a big huge display on the south wall over here this is the most advanced Russets in our breeding program you'll see a lot of numbers on it's on page three I guess table one of your handout you'll see a lot of numbers that you recognize the majority of those would be farther to the left as I'm facing the table the eight cultivars that they are being compared against are on the west table and so there you'll get a good opportunity to see Dakota Russet and Dakota Trailblazer along with other standards like Russet Norcota and Russet Burbank. As far as the numbered lines there are three different ones that are in the National French Fry Processing Trial at varying stages and then the ND 12, not looking at my numbers, 12, 241 YB-2 Russ is in Tier 3 in the National French Fry Processing Trial and it has been looking quite promising. Right next door to that one is an ND 12154 YB-2 Russ it was in the National French Fry Processing Trial back in 2017 I have it in a trial over at Park Rapids and last week in the big processing dig that we did it was the highest yielding cultivar out of or it's not a cultivar yet but numbered line out of all of the cultivars and numbered lines in that trial and it was already about it was exceeding 550 hundred weight to the acre and all of the French fries were coming out as zeros so that line is looking very, very promising and it looks quite good over here. On the table also the three newest ones over there are ND 273 BC-1 Russ and the two ND 14286 BCs they are dash two Russ and dash seven Russ and they are surprisingly good in terms of both appearance and yield potential so while heat and lack of rain have significantly impacted a lot of our production I know as far as our seed operation things are small and a little bit delayed when we dug the samples for later today those tubers are small but overall under irrigation things are really looking good and so I feel like we have a good test and a good display and I look forward to chatting with people if they are interested I was going to offer a little tour out to the mini pivot but I think given the rain I would prefer to stay out of the mud out there so thank you if anybody has any questions hopefully I didn't forget oh I did forget to say two things I'm clutching some note cards up here during the course of the year also if you read the handout you'll see all of the different sorts of projects that were involved in but I'd rather focus on the processing Russ it's while we're up here in May we had a variety release meeting and Dakota Dawn was named so very excited about that it's the first specialty variety coming out of the NDSU breeding program and sometime hopefully in the next few months I know I keep saying this every year but 75 19-1 which is a beautiful cold chipper just finished its third year in the snack food association trial and so it is looking very promising we have a lot of growers in North Dakota and beyond that are interested in producing this clone and so hopefully we're going to be having a variety release meeting for it and I'll just put out a little teaser I'm hoping to somehow be able to honor Bryce fernsworth that worked with our breeding program for 48 years and a lot of the of our success is because of the work that Bryce had done and so I have a name picked out that incorporates some of his name and so hopefully you'll all hear about that when we get to get get to get together again at the Alaris Center for the research reporting conference and the crop six bow in February thank you.


Our Maramka, our Maramka is come from reindeer people because there are so many. My mother came from that Maramka tribe. The name of this is from... Sennist. Sennist stop the men, fancy parka. And it never uses for hunting or anything. We just wear it in ceremonial for a dress up. We have a good coating when we dress up time. It seems to me like we just own everything from the ancient times from our ancestors. We have a beautiful coating. I don't know who made this with a very good service. Even this is a men's pattern. Women have a different pattern, men have a different pattern. They have a dyed unborn seagull fur and they put them about this long. And dangling things on the women. Everything is different between male and female. The clothings. I think this is... We call it... And it took a lot of work to do that. We just came inside out, pour some water in and take it out through many times. We use our fingernail, thumb fingernail to take the outer part out. And that's when it's done. We turn the inside out and then we round them. And the water turns red and we change it so many times, so many times. I told you, my grandma is too much for me, but I'm going to. And until the water turns clear. And then she took them out in wintertime and blew it up. And went to freeze. She just, using her arms, pulled them like that and tied them up and tied it up on the meat rack. And it stays there for a long time. Wind and coldness have turned it white. Crystid oculate is a little bird about this big. Like on the beak there's those orange colors. And a krill up here, like it has a ponytail. And that's a crystid oculate bird. I'm Elaine. My Eskimo name, I've earned your big name, it's Raktanga. It's a chukchi name given to me by my relatives, reindeer herders. They were reindeer herders from Russia. My clan is Kriwami. And in chukchi, I think my name is Raktanga. And in our language it's called uttchtikak. In English it means came back. And my last name is Kingeekak. I'm from Sibunga, St. Lawrence Island, but I'm living in Anchorage now. The reason why I'm here is I'm here to repair guts getting parka. It's made out of walrus and tested with oculate curls. If it weren't repaired and left alone, it would keep on deteriorating. And probably that's the only one left. And people from home wouldn't see anything like that again, only from pictures or drawings. This gut material, you have to have years of experience. When you're doing it for the first time, it made me feel like I was trying to sew tissue paper. My stitch would be too big, too small, too crooked, or it would rip right through. Normally if it was a newer one, like newer is still used, I would put a piece of an intestine on the inside and sew on to make a patch, like put that patch on the inside. What I'm going to do is because this is an older material, I'm going to do one on the inside and one on the outside and try to camouflage that. And then I'll sew around the tear. And I decided to use sinew instead of commercial thread because the material is almost like skin. I could hear my ancestors speaking to me, like the memories in my heart. I hear them talking to my students, yeah I want to pass this on. It's best to pass this on.


Remember socialism we want everybody equal. Well, I don't want to be equal with everybody else I don't want to be equal with you. I don't want to be equal with them I want to be able to separate myself from you right in a nice way not in a mean way But when I can't separate myself then what's great about that? So we're gonna make everybody win the same amount of basketball games We're gonna make everybody make the same amount of money. Okay, that's the competitiveness that makes America great And so we want to take the greatest thing we have is competitiveness and capitalism and take it away from our country I want everybody to have an opportunity
