Welcome to Common Ground. I'm producer-director Scott Knudson. In this two-segment episode, Ann Johnson, an interior designer of Niswa, Minnesota, shares her passion for working with local artisans. Then Brandon Ferdig, originally of Black Duck, Minnesota, shares the insights into humanity he's gained as a journalist. My name is Ann Johnson. I'm a businesswoman. I'm an inventor. I'm married for 55 years to my friend and associate, Doug Johnson. What we do is we influence people on how to make their homes reflect their personality, and that's where we came up with the name for the business, Johnson's personality plus interiors. It's creating your personality, not a designer's personality.  The minute someone opens the door, this should say, this is who I am. I help people furnish their homes. I prefer to use artisans and craftsmen to create things that are unique. Come up with color scheme, a look that reflects what they value in life. What we're showing here is wall texturing. Everybody right now is looking at faux finishes or wall texturing to give your walls some character. Without wallpaper, wallpaper doesn't give the character. We have come up with a wall stencil. What it is is a metal stencil that I have designed. The trick to this is after you have painted your wall, then you come back with a stencil, any design. We have pinecone, we have maple leaf. We like to stick with botanical design. The way we have it here is just to show people the different designs. When you're doing a wall, you really want to create something unique. You want to just place them in different positions, at least three feet apart. I was born in 42, one of five children. I was the second daughter. There were three girls, two boys. My sister, Teresa, myself, Anne, and then I had two brothers, Marshall, Carl, and then my baby sister, Nita. So five children. My grandmother, who bought when she came to this country, the U.S. of A, bought two homes side by side because it was a huge family. My grandmother was actually 20 when she came to this country and she ended up having 21 children. I came here in 1960, married, expecting my first child. And my background was growing up in a very large family. My father was originally from the Cape Verde Islands, which is off the coast of Africa. So he was black African. He actually came here in 1910, came from a very large family. My mother was also, this is the ethnic diversity, she's Syrian and German. And they actually were in, I would call it, the neighborhood was really, truly very poor. And they met, she was 17, she was married at 19. They met, they fell in love. And back then the cultures were, we were all, there was Italians. If you know the New England area, it is where people landed when they came from Europe. So Jewish Italians, there was just a diverse ethnic and there wasn't any stigma to dating anyone outside of your race. It was just not, not even unheard of to not, you know, we just were all clinging together to survive during the 40s. Out of high school, I met my husband. He was in the Navy stationed at Quonset Point, which is a big Navy base back in the 50s. And we dated for a year. We were married in 1960, 61. And then we moved to Minnesota and we arrived here in 61, started our careers here. I had three children, three girls. At a time we established, rented a small little office building from Mr. Boberg down here on County Road 77 and started selling wallpaper and draperies. And then it just, it just grew and grew word of mouth. And after the first three years, we found this piece of property on Highway 371. We had established ourselves and we felt we could move on and grow the business. And we had met several artisans that were willing to work with us, make furniture or help us in our career because we were getting into wall coverings, carpeting, tile. And we really reached out to the community to see what did you do? What do you do? And how can you influence our business and how can we help you? I really think, like I say, our being able to communicate and talk to people and share that we can help you, you can help us, and that was our core belief, was to just integrate talented people into our business. And I think it's been a success. I really do. I have a very prolific imagination, have my whole life. But what I have done when we were in Texas, my husband and I, I sit with a drying pad almost always coming up with ideas. Now what I have created, and I think it's special, is a wool tufted rug. And because 90% of, I'd say 75% to 90% of the homes we do are lake cabins. This is to envision a lake cabin. It is a lake, it's called the pond. And so I did have my initials put on that, but it's two loons, cattails, some dragonflies. And I think it looks like a lake bottom. Top, sorry. And we are selling it now throughout the country. Right now, like I say, with the economic downturn, many of the skill craftsmen and many of the people in our industry, builders, contractors really found themselves lost because people started going elsewhere. I mean, there wasn't a Walmart when we were up here. There wasn't a Menards. There wasn't a Home Depot. And so we were really a full service decorating studio. What I hope now, like I say, we are past 70. My husband and I are proud to say that we still, I do, I still love what I do, advising people, helping people. I don't think I'll ever outgrow the passion I have for being, filling the void that people have when they come up here from the cities and they don't know who to talk to. And they don't know who to trust, which is the key word I'd say that if we want to give ourselves a title as trusted. We meet with people, we find out what their needs are, and we try to help them through the process of finding the right contractor. I have eight grandchildren now, and they're coming out of college. Two of them are going into design, fashion design. It's in their DNA. Some of the things that we have are passionate about is art and design. And if we can support them, and I think that's what we're all here to do, is support them, encourage them, and keep it priceless because what I do is priceless. Really popular right now, especially now in lake homes, is a timber, timbers and rustic wood. And so last year my husband and I constructed this table, and we have done tile top tables for years, hand painted. So the tiles are actually painted with China paint, and then they're baked in a kiln, so they're a permanent art form. And what we did, I wanted a beaver, something from the Outdoors. I really love to bring the Outdoors in, but this is a beaver artwork with a rope trim, and then the rustic timbers that we designed and built, and we love to do it. It's massive, but it's in keeping with the theme of a lake home. I don't think individually we can accomplish anything. I never have. I think collaboration is the key, and I think especially in this, when I go back to my ethnic background, the diversity of having a father who was dark skinned, had black African blood. My mother was Syrian. I mean the diversity was what uplifted me, what gave me strength. And I think diversity is what brings more of a camaraderie together. And I think in our diversity, we each bring something different to the table. You can't have everybody with one opinion. It just doesn't work. We have to have diversity, and we have to have a willingness to give respect. I like writing checks to guys who sweat, because they work so hard, and they're so dedicated to what they do. People who work with their hands are dedicated, passionate about what they do, and they need to be respected for that.  I'll clean it up after you're gone. You've put in a hard day's work, what you need is respect. What I have come up with, actually it was ten years ago, it's called the ripple rod. The design is fluctuates from six inches down. I have a formula that I came up with, so it looked like ripple or water shape. Anyway, this is now being made under our control copyrights. And it's perfect for cabin. And what you have to do is just take a blanket. This happens to be a Woolridge blanket that we've come up with, and just drape it across. So any fabric. But what I think the beauty of it is, is that being iron comes with the attachments, the brackets already on there, and we order it, custom made, any length. And you don't have to sew. It's just a blanket or a piece of fabric. And you don't have to do any sewing. It forms its own creation by calling it the ripple rod. The rod does the design. At this stage of our life, what we hope to do is introduce a artisan's colony. Now what that would incorporate would be a number of skill craftsmen and artists to join us here in our building on Highway 371 in Niswa to develop a strategy to create, to make people's lives better, and to serve the community. My name is Brandon Ferdig. I'm a writer and a videographer, YouTuber, some people might say. I was born in Blackduck, Minnesota. And I grew up there for the first 18 years of my life, graduated high school there, and then I went to college in the Twin Cities. After that, I began to write. I began a blog, began a cable access show where I interviewed people. Whether it's writing or interviewing, my content is most often about cultures, individual stories, really finding out what it's like to live in another person's shoes. What their experience is like, what life is like through their eyes. I remember I was in high school and a friend's grandmother and I were, for some reason, we were by ourselves. I think maybe my friend and I were visiting his grandmother and he was off, I don't know where. He may have been in another room. And her and I were just talking. And I noticed the picture of her late husband. So when I thought about it for just right there on the spot, I saw her late husband's picture on the mantle or on the windowsill or whatever. I thought, gosh, you were together with him for a long time. Do you still miss him? Do you still talk to him? And that's when she teared up. And so, and then she opened up to me and said, yes, I do. And it's difficult. You know, when we're young, we don't think about the flight of being old. Well, there were a couple of detours in my late teens, early 20s. I went to college for psychology, actually. There wasn't journalism like I initially thought it was going to be. What started to happen, though, was I started to travel. And that got me out of the Twin Cities and across the world. I lived on two different continents, between the years 2010 and 2014. And that led to a book about a year I lived in China and traveling around that country, feeling out the culture, interviewing people where I could, whether it was a disabled person on the street in China in the city I was in, begging for money because they don't have welfare there.  They would bind the feet at about five years old, so they would stop growing. It's quite dark in here. There she is, that is grandma. You can see the arches are all bent up like they used to do. And she'd had those feet her whole life. And so I wanted to ask her about that process.  And so I threw a translator. I was able to interview her about the experience about China over the last 100 years. Rural China, you know, cities across the country. And then I came home and wrote a book about the experience. I remember, in fact, I was on a bus between the airport and the city I was going to live in. So we flew into Guangzhou, which is the largest city in the southern half of the country. It's not far from Hong Kong. And I lived in another city called Zhuhai, which no one here probably knows, but it's still a city of a million people. That's China. It's across the delta from Hong Kong. So it's all in that. It's called the Pearl River Delta, which is about the size of Connecticut and it has about 60 million people. And I taught English down in Zhuhai. So while I was on the bus from the airport in Guangzhou down to Zhuhai, which is probably an hour and a half or so, maybe two hours, I remember hearing a mother teaching her daughter the numbers. And those were the first Chinese words, other than probably Ni Hao, which is hello, and Xie Xie, which is thank you, that I picked up. Then I would take classes because my school offered them to the English teachers. And I just tried to pick it up from, you know, being in the country. Asking people how to say this and making a couple of friends. And by the end, I could speak some Chinese. I was proud of myself. So I would write frequently about that concept of how their culture in China would compare to ours in the United States. And it would come up frequently because I taught out of school. So what's education like there compared to how it is in the U.S.? What's law enforcement like? You know, we've had a lot of protests in the U.S. now. Not so much when I left in 2010. But there I went to a protest. And I thought, wow, in China, the protest is going to be a crackdown. We're going to see some, we're going to see some kneecaps being busted with some, with some nightsticks or something. But the police were so cool. Like they just sat there and they talked to the protesters. And that blew me away because I had this image of China as being... A Tiananmen Square. Yeah, just lockdown. I was able to compare the two countries, the two cultures, the East and the West, in many ways throughout my year. And I think at the end, when I practice martial arts, Tai Chi and Kung Fu in the mountains of central China were Tai Chi originated. And I practiced up there for nine days, which doesn't sound like a long time, but it's sort of like a boot camp. And so nine days of that, it was kind of a long time. And it was intense because I didn't have... There was electricity, but I didn't really use it. And no one spoke English. And you're up at 5 a.m. to jog. And it's Tai Chi all day. I don't know what it takes, of course, but it's a long day. And you really begin to see how my... I began to feel and see how my brain racing, wanting to go on the internet, wanting to watch TV, wanting to eat something, just want to be stimulated to a fault, I would say. Versus most of the students there were just very serene, more so, content. Throughout my time there, I was never good at this Tai Chi. And there would be some extensive choreography where beyond just this repetitive motion, there was like maybe 20 moves that they were having as choreographs. So we would go way down and we would go up like this and we might lift the leg. And everything had to be just so. And I remember trying to just figure it out perfectly and I had a heck of a time with it. I always struggled more so than the other students. And the other students, by the way, were from 10-year-old boys. There was a few teenagers and there were a few that were in their 20s and 30s. But where I did come through to help was nearing the end. One of the last days I was there, the students went down into the valley. So remember, we had this road and then we have this housing and then we have this dirt platform where they would also practice. And then it went down into the valley. And when we went down there, students were down there to get firewood and sticks for the oven to make food. By the time I got down there, they had tied up all these small trees, all these small logs, and had used vines even to tie around them. There was a problem, though, in that some of the branches from the logs were sticking out. And this was a narrow path down the valley. So had they tried to carry this bundle of logs up this valley path, the branches might have got hit trees on the way up. So they had to try to break off these branches. And one was short and stubby. And these Kung Fu trained men were trying to just break it off with their feet. I said, hold on, I can help you. And I saw a rock nearby. See, I thought of invention and they were always focused on the purity of the action. Whether it was a punch or one time we would shovel dirt and they were doing some landscaping, which in hindsight I'm not sure if it was even landscaping or if it was just shoveling to shovel. Like move the dirt over there and then move the dirt over back where it started. It was about the action of shoveling and I kept thinking, where's a wheelbarrow or where's a backhoe? Let's get this done faster. And they were criticizing and laughing at the way I was doing this because I was using my back, I wasn't using my legs and I wasn't thrusting the shovel in there. I was just sort of throwing it in the dirt and I wasn't doing it like an attack. I was just doing it casually. So it was about the method, not about the result. But I wanted the result of this branch that we broke off, these logs. So I saw this rock and I shoved it underneath the branch. To create a lever. And then I just gave it a little kick and it broke off. And they were all very happy. Oh, so clever, Feng Xiang, which is my Chinese name. And they knew a little English. So they said, so clever. They always said that. That's a great story. On the same journey down to get fire, where they were also getting kindling for the fire. And this girl was grabbing it with her bare hands and it was like pine needles and she was getting like cut. And then I saw these two like rake-like tools and I said, hold on, hold on. And so I grabbed these two rake tools and I picked up a huge bunch and I could put it in the bag. And she was like, oh, so clever. And I thought, well, you know, we just use salad tongs, that's all. And you guys use chopsticks. But it seemed like, I don't know. I mean, I know it was just one small example. But to me, it represented the the difference between or at least a difference between the east and the west. And they, at least this culture of the east, they have strengthened and exercised oneness, mindfulness, calmness, contentment, serenity. And we, at least for me, I go to invention. How can I get it done faster, quicker, better, stronger, whatever, cheaper, efficiency. That's good too. So I thought, wow, how good is it to have the best of both worlds here? And it was just a strong lesson in learning the strengths of other cultures to come together for a better whole. I got back from China in 2011 and I knew immediately that I wanted to live in another part of the world. I wanted that same experience just to grow my insight and knowledge and wisdom about humanity. So I had an opportunity to go to East Africa. I had met several people from there in the previous recent months. And so I thought, okay, the world, life is sort of pushing me in this direction. And I met a man in Minneapolis from Tanzania who had started a school in his home village. But they needed computers. So I said, I can help. And I did. I raised some money online. About $2,000. I was able to get a handful of laptops. And I went out there with those laptops. And from America bought me a ticket. So I flew out there early part of 2014 with these laptops. And I would go to this village school and teach these students who were about ages 12 to 17, 12 to 16. It's secondary school there. I taught them how to use computers. About half of which I've never used a computer before. So we're talking about how to turn on a computer, how to use a mouse, and then basic word processing is what I really focused on. I thought it was a lot of changing. Yet it was just the vehicle as teaching English was in China. To me it was about being in East Africa and soaking it all in. And I would go to church there. Very charismatic and theatrical church service where I saw 13 women on stage exercising demons and spitting up. It was crazy. What I think I'm able to do with my work is what I like to say is I like to go deeper than judgment. I like to play in the news or whatever. But if we have a conversation with them then we're beyond judgment. There are some issues that I like to tackle. That will come more carefully and periodically. The main driver are the stories of the people sharing the voices of the individuals that don't get told. So my website is theperiphery.com On my website is a link to my YouTube channel which is also called The Periphery and you'll find all my interviews travel videos from China, Africa. My book Life Learned Abroad Lessons on Humanity from China is also available on my website. But you can also just go to Amazon and type in Life Learned Abroad and you'll find it there too. It has the paperback and the ebook. One last bonus about the ebook if you read it on a color screen like a tablet or even a laptop or smartphone the pictures are color and there are links throughout the ebook which go to videos that correspond with the text. So when I'm writing about a fish market in China you can click a YouTube video and watch scenes from the market where I was. Yeah, whenever I've lived abroad the vehicle getting out there has always just been that. The vehicle. What I wanted to live abroad for is to live abroad and that basis that foundation from which to better understand obviously that culture and by comparison my culture and by triangulation perhaps my culture, their culture, humanity. Because if you understand humanity in this culture and that culture now you've got two points of reference and from that you can better understand the continuum of humanity as a whole.

TFNN.com Educating Investors The following is a presentation of TFNN. Okay, looking good, Billy Ray feeling good, Lewis. We're going to do something a little different today, folks. We're going to go back to 9-1-1 and go through what the market did, because it was one of the most emotional days that I've had in these markets in many, many years. And it wasn't even the crash of 87 that happened to be short on that, but I was short coming into that day. And I always, at that time, I was talking to my neighbor, Arch Crawford, and we were chatting at the same time, around 5.30 in the morning when the first plane hit and Arch said, this is it. And he said, we're getting ready to go to war, is what I remember him telling me that. Now, I got off the phone after the first thing was hit, and I started to call a few people asking if they had any information, particularly Byron Tucker. And Byron was on his way to the World Trade Center for a meeting, which was at 11 o'clock.  I said, one of the big airplanes has hit the World Trade Center, and there's not things are good right now. First thing I did, the S&P was only down about eight points at that time of the morning. And it was still trading. It was trading actively. And the first thing I did was I closed out my short positions. And the reason why is I did not want to have anything to do with the disaster if the disaster was coming, because I would make money on some people's, hey, folks, that's just me. Sometimes you get lucky, but I just couldn't handle it. But the big thing that happened that really shook me up more than anything else was exactly at six o'clock in the morning, which was one o'clock in the morning in Hawaii, my daughter Jill was there, and her husband, Kevin, was in charge of Hickam Air Force Bases, and what he did was he was in charge of the drone program there. Well, at six o'clock, two MPs showed up at the door at Jill's house in Hawaii on Honolulu, and they came in the door, and Jill told me that dad, she said, they just pushed me aside and went inside to make sure that they got Kevin. And he said to Jill, she said, we've got two minutes to get him out of here, get his clothes, his toothbrush, and she said, what's happening? And the guy said, we're at DEFCON 5. And DEFCON 5 is pretty bad. Anyway, what happened was they took Kevin away, and she didn't seem for seven days. She got to talk to him a few times, but he was evidently needed at the base for protection, whatever it happened to be, but she was absolutely really, really shook up. And I told her, I said, look, it's not the end of the world. I said, we're being attacked now. Later on in the morning, two hours later, whatever it was, a second plane hit. And then I told her, I said, yeah, this is really bad. I said, but things are going to be OK, and we eventually make it through. Arch Crawford told me 10 minutes before the Pentagon was hit that the Pentagon was going to be the next target. And there's all kinds of conspiracy theories and all that stuff, but it's very sad that we lost so many people. But the market action, that's what I want to talk to you about here, folks. You know, we have a rule here in the United States, part of the Constitution. The banks can't be closed more than five days in a row. We were closed six days in a row on this one. We finally opened on the 18th of September. And as you can see, the market sold off rather dramatically down to the day of the the bottom was there. But notice the bottom, folks, after the bottom came in, the market rallied. I mean, a lot it rallied right up to a 61 percent retracement and then made the low, you know, about eight or nine months lower. Someone saying the charts not coming through. I'm sorry, folks, let me get this up here because I've saved this chart from for a long time and I think it's it's pretty valuable. Hold on, just let me get the other get this up here so we can all see it really easily. I hope anyway. Sorry for this. If you want a picture of this chart, all you have to do is ask me and send $10. Just ask me if you need it. But this is what we're this is what happened. You see, this was the low that came in right here. Here was the gap. We closed trading that day right before the open. And then the market came down eight days later and then rallied up to a 61 percent retracement. OK, I want you to look at that real closely, folks, because this is important. You see that 61 percent retracement right here. For those of you that like 3A2 here is what you should do. Go back and check it yourself from this high to this low to this high was take a guess. Johnny in the back of the room is raising his hand and he's saying 3A2, Professor, 3A2, and that's what's really important. OK, anyway, you can see what happened. The market rallied up to the 3A2 and then came down into the low of, you know, this was the 2005 low, excuse me, the 2000 low dot com bubble low was right in here. And then from there, we had the rally up into 07 and then 07 back down. But this is what's happened with the news and everything. So it was not the end of the world hardly it ever is. One day it will be like the paranoid man says, I only have to be right. But once, but you don't have a lot of fun doing it. Now, I've had a request to talk a little bit about Goldman Sachs. And so what I did was I brought a chart up here and I put the four hour chart up because I don't I don't trade stocks. They're they're just too boring for me. And let's just get this up here. And I wanted to go through the sequence. There is Goldman Sachs on the bottom where we were just a couple months ago right there in June. Remember, look at that beautiful ABCD pattern, AB equals CD. Stick with it and you'll be free. Hold on just a second. I as a poet don't know it. I mix it rhyme every time. All right, that's Goldman Sachs. So where are we now with Goldman Sachs? The first thing you want to do is to take a look where we are right now. And as you can see here, whoops, that's where we were. We want to get to where we are right now. And here we are. I want to show you this pattern because we're going to be covering this pattern extensively in our show that we have on the 20th of all time all day trading session. But here is Goldman Sachs and we'll get this up here. You'll be able to see that Goldman Sachs is in what we call a down trend. You can see the big ABCD. This is the same one we saw in the daily, only just a four hour chart. OK, so what's happened is we had the 382 rally first, we came down to point D and then today we've rallied up and we made a 61% retracement within 20 cents and we're now 10% off of that. So I don't know if this is anything to pay attention to in Goldman Sachs, but it's very interesting to see that that's what it's done. Now, the third part that you want to be able to look at, and this is a very important pattern because you're looking at a one, three, five pattern, you have three lower tops. Now, to make this, hey, folks, if it makes a new high on the day and closes above here, you're wrong, but this is what's good about pattern recognition is you don't have to worry about where it's going to go or how it's going to go. Just put your stop in and don't worry because you can't predict what's going to happen next, but this is what should happen. Here is the take it will be right back.<PHONE_NUMBER>. At the time of booming inflation, we are purchasing powers eroded. There's no better place to protect your harder and money than gold. This, the gold's flagship asset is the Monk Todd Gold Project in the Northern Territory of Australia. This is Australia's largest undeveloped gold project. We are talking a world class gold project in a tier one mining district. This is a large scale, low cost project with significant existing infrastructure in a politically safe and friendly mining jurisdiction. This, the gold just completed the Mount Todd feasibility study, which resulted in a seven million ounce gold reserve in a 16 year mine life. All of this combined with the approvals of all major operational as well as environmental permits. This distinguishes Mount Todd as an attractive, dearest pot ready development stage gold project. This, the gold trades on the New York Stock Exchange and the symbol VGZ. Steve Rhodes started his trading career as a student almost 20 years ago and the student has now become the master.

And if you'll take a look at that video, what he's saying is be really careful here as you go through the markets today and seeing how these things are happening right here at this time frame between the 12th, 13th and 14th of September. He had some statistics in there showing the negativity. Now I asked Larry if I could bring each one of those charts up and show them. And he said, Larry, he said, I prefer the people to do the work themselves. And I said, oh, what an interesting concept. Defy human nature. Do the work yourself. So go back and look at the time frames in September, between the 12th and the 15th of each month, going back as far as you want to go. And you'll see that there's a really, really high probability why it's there. He didn't know and I certainly don't know it. Certainly we're over a bunch of astral stuff, but that's why the moon is so bright folks is we have the moon at Perigee and we have Venus at Perigee. And that's why that moon is such a big harvest moon. But getting back to Larry's thing, and it's really, really interesting. Go in and take a look at it. If you can't find it, just go to YouTube, Larry Williams and hit YouTube. It was sent out on the 9th or 10th, I think it was the 9th Friday. And so it's up to date. And it's got some really super information about being careful. Because overall he thinks we're going to come down into October, which is a bearish month. That's what I think we're going to have happen too. And then we're going to find out whether we rally from that level or not. So let's remind ourselves of that. We had a green report today. I want to cover that a little bit. And we'll do that in just a... Okay, we got Pedro from Park City. How's the snow up there, buddy? No, baby, a week ago was 107 in Salt Lake. Oh my God, I saw the temperatures there, Peter. And I can't believe how hot it was. What's up, buddy? I saw 95 in Park City. I was like, okay, well, that's never happened before. Hey, let's look at the Euro. In your newsletter, you had the chart showing the downtrend in the Euro. And when I was looking at it, the 0.618 came in at 102. The downtrend channel came in at 102. This minor 15-minute up channel came in at 102. Is this basically it in the Euro, do you think? Well, I think so. Let me cover that right now, Peter. Because what I did was I had several people ask me about that. And the first thing I wanted to do was to go and look at the long-term weekly pattern in the Euro. This will help explain why we had to sell off. If you'll watch it here when you get a chance, you'll be looking at this big ABCD. Now this is a weekly chart. And so that high that we made just the other day at 110.61 was a 786 on the monthly. So that tells us that there's a possibility that this Euro might rally a whole lot more. And I mean a whole lot more, maybe just two or 300 pips. But that is such a big number up there that it just really... And it hit it exactly. Here's another case, if you'll go back and look at it on the monthly chart and just prove it to yourself that it'll really make you believe in these numbers a little. You already believe in it, Peter, but other people don't. So that's another way of looking at how they should line up. But you're right, that is a big thing that's happening right here in the US dollar as we speak today. And we mentioned it, of course, in the newsletter. Yeah, what was interesting was so the Euro went to the 0.618, the pound went to the 6.8, the yen couldn't even get... If you use the early August high could get to 0.236. If you use the late August one, it got to the 382 and they all stopped dead in the water. Yeah. Well, this is why we have to watch that, that those numbers, you know, you have to pay attention to them because they don't work all the time. But my goodness, when they work, they work extremely well. And that's why I use them because they give you a really good idea of where you are in the market. But Peter, you already know this, but one of the reasons you do this is you're going to have to learn how to take losses. Because the only way you fail in this business is if you stop trying. Because if you stop trying, you're dead. If you keep trying, you're eventually going to get it right. And that's what trading is all about. It's a journey, not a destination. There you go. All right. Well, I guess tomorrow's CPI will determine the... Oh, dear. A lot with the dollar. Yeah, oh, it certainly will. You know, one day it's a CPI. The next day it's an IPC. The next day after that it's the ABCD.  All I do is look at the patterns and don't worry about what they're talking about for sure. No, I appreciate it, Larry. And look forward to next Tuesday. You bet. Come down and see me, Peter. If you get a chance, I'd love to see you. I would be great fun. Okay, you bet. I sure would. Okay, that's it. Let's get back to what's happening in the corn market, folks. Big move here in corn. Let's get this up here. We've been very bullish corn for a considerable time. And not in a position. We didn't quite follow it the way we wanted to. Made some money, but not as much as we should have. But today's action, look at this, folks. If you don't believe in 382, look at the low this morning before the report. And this is an hourly chart, folks. It just hangs there right at the 382 and from there off to the races. You'll see the ABCD on this hourly chart was exceeded by quite a bit. I believe we hit $7 corn. I'm not sure. On the long-term daily, there's a lot of resistance at 703 in the corn. So let's keep an eye on that. Now, I like the greens are really a lot of fun to trade, especially into a report if you've got the courage and put your orders in and stuff. But I wanted to show you the pattern that we have this morning. Now, this is the kind of pattern that we're going to be looking at when we do the day trading thing on the 20th of, hold on, where are you? There you are. There's my charts. Just a second here. Going to have to get John to help me with this darn thing. Hold on. Here's a 15-minute chart on wheat this morning. Now, we're basically very friendly to wheat. But as you can see here, this morning, we made a perfect A, B, C, D. And it's a 15-minute chart. So it took about four hours to complete that. And there it was setting right at the 1.27. You had very little exposure. And that was a 20-cent move, folks. Now, I missed the target on the downside. It only got to just about here. And of course, I would not go into a crop report, even if they let me trade for free because it's just suicide. And I don't think it's a smart thing to do. And of course, the report was bullish. And what's happened so far is the wheat rally all the way up to the 61% retracement up into this level. So that held it pretty well. So that's what we're paying attention to now. I already showed the chart on the corn. The next one I want to bring up to you is the L-soy beans. And we'll get this up here. This is the soybean chart right here. As you can see here, oh, here, let me finish up. There's the wheat chart. You'll see the whole thing. Just a second. I even brought that in. So you'll see where we came down and maybe completed the pattern and then held before the rally up to the 61% retracement. And then you'll be able to see what's going on. What I'll be doing during the trading that we do, I'll use probably, well, I will use 15-minute charts for entry. And the reason for that is that you see a lot of those during the day. But the patterns work on anything. You can see that Goldman Sachs, they work. And I'm going to prove to you why they work during that session. So we'll be right back. Billy Ray Valentine, Capricorn.

I put the chart up of soybeans, as you can see it's had a really big move today along with the corn, and so this is pretty much as expected. Big numbers up here around $7 in the corn, so pay close attention to that. But the main thing you should pay close attention to is what's happening in the market this week with the thing moving up quite a bit into these days here. This is not the place to be. I know we hit the fib number at $4,140 I believe in the S&P. We're not too far away from that right now, but someone asked a question about how do you handle it when you roll over from December from the September contract, and here's what I do folks. I'll get up here so you can see the pattern unfold here, but here is my chart and I use 15-minute charts because that gives you a lot of patterns and stuff. This one goes back a little bit farther and I believe it's a 4-hour chart so I could show it to you, but I wanted to want you to see the 382 retracement for the move down. You can see the 61% retracement was hit last night, and we backed off about 25 handles, and then we came down and now we're hitting higher. How much higher? I really don't know, but we're probably going to go higher, but I'm watching it on a 15-minute basis, and when I see a pattern during that time, I'll be able to look at it. I had two really nice patterns today in the S&P at the 382, and they had a nice profit in. What I did is I put the stop at break even just to see if it catches a really big one, but it didn't, so it got out at break even and then I wait to see what the next one is going to do. That's it, so that's the main thing. Also keep a really close eye on the gold market folks. We went up above 1740 up to that 1745 level, which was 50% of the previous rally that we made, and I think that's something that deserves your attention to keep an eye of what's going on with that. Now I wanted to go on just a little bit more about the 9-11 how it was affected. The airlines during that time, about 10 days from 18th of September into the 1st of October, nobody would fly. I mean nobody. The flight to Las Vegas round trip from Tucson was $25, and they had flights going to Hawaii for $100. I swear to God, $100 round trip minimum of five tickets booked any time you want, so for 500 bucks you could go back and forth for $100, 51 way 50 the other, and since Jill was there with the baby, I said, well I'm going to take those five, and by golly I used all five of them. The first flight that I took to Hawaii, and we were on a 737 Boeing, there were 19 people on the plane, and they had enough spots that anybody who wanted to sit in first class could do it, and so that was pretty cool, and then I had to go to Las Vegas. The money show was there in early October, and I stayed at the Venetian. I stayed at the Venetian, and the room was free because I was working for the money show, and the lady said, she says you're here for three days, and she said for an extra $100 we can upgrade you to a high roller suite, and I said what's that? She says, well it's a one-bedroom suite overlooking the strip, and it comes with a wine and cheese butler. It will come every day around four o'clock to bring you wine and cheese, and they had some other perks that were involved with it, so for an extra $100, that was not $100 a day, it was $33 a day just for that. That room during the regular time was $2,200. That was nobody there. I mean there really wasn't, but service was spectacular. This room was, I'm not a picture taker. I don't take a, even with my little camera, I just don't take many pictures. I probably should have, but you should have seen this room. It was awesome. I'm sitting there looking at things. They had a widescreen TV. Before widescreen TVs were really popular, but it was really pretty cool, and then what else? I'll get that in Las Vegas. That was basically, oh one more thing. In the Money Show in 2002, one year, this was September, and then coming into March, March of 2008 was the big Money Show at the Marriott Marquis in New York, and Jim Berkman and Jim Sugarman had been my students, well they still are and still good friends, but they started the Money Show back in 94, 95, and the hotel and also the Money Show people said, we're going to give you the option to cancel, because there's probably not going to be many people coming, and Jim said, well, we really like to go through with it, and the hotel said, okay, he said, we'll make a deal with you. If it doesn't go well, you get your money back. If it goes well, you pay half price, and folks, this was the biggest Money Show that they ever had in New York City. This record still stands to this day. That's when I first met Tom O'Brien. He was there with, he went as well as I did. I had a little booth there and stuff, and that's when I first met Tom O'Brien. I'll tell you the story behind that. Tom was being, well, he was giving his lectures and stuff, and the two hockey players were there. Jim Hughes and Jack Callahan were there, and he was talking about Fibonacci, and they went up to him and said, well, you really don't really know very much about Fibonacci. You should go talk to the old man, which was me. That was 20 years ago. That's how I got to meet Tom, and we became friends, and then in 2007, I started doing this show here with TFNM. Okay, if you have any questions, folks, it's<PHONE_NUMBER>, and it's going to be an interesting few days here for sure. Folks, the bond market doesn't have any friends. It's not going to have any friends, and it just keeps going lower. No matter what the Fed tries to tell you, this thing is heading down. I mean, it really is. We've got some more to go to the downside, and we've been very, you know, bonds now for about two and a half years. We're getting close to what we think is a pretty good bottom. Let's see if we can get this up here, and by golly, there it is. Hold on, we'll get it up here to let you see what's going on here. This is a short-term one, so, well, this is a weekly, but we are really close to what we think is going to be, and this all this is going to be, folks, is a tradable bottom. You have to realize that this is it. You and I will never going to see zero interest rates or rates like this ever again. That's not going to happen. Look at this, the big ABC, there's your 382. That's when we came super bearish. There's the 135 patterns, you know, six, seven months ago, and look what it's been going down. This last was a 382 up there at 146 in the bonds, and it should be down to about 129, 127. We're at 132 right now, so we got about four or five more points. At that point, you're going to see on the weekly, you're going to see a little three drive to a bottom pattern, and that should get you a rally probably up about 382 off of the high that we made last year. That's all it's going to be. If you don't believe these things work, oh, someone just posted in the Tiger Den, this is one of the reasons why you want to get into the Tiger Den. It posted US crop production and it showed how bad the corn crop is and how bad the soybean crop is, and that's pulling up wheat also, but also we're at some major, major resistance up here at $7 corn folks. Got to pay attention to it, really is. I'm going to do a special video on that tonight. We alerted folks about the possibility of a bullish report today, which we did get, but we're in the longer term, we were able to see that we're at pretty nice areas. Let me just show you, get back to the notes, which is the short term paper here that we have. You'll see that it's breaking down now below the 786 support that we thought was going to happen here. So we are heading down, and that tells us we're probably still heading down towards the, what do you call it, the next area of support in here of what we're looking at. We've got a break coming up here in just a minute and I'll answer a few questions about the Goldman Sachs chart that someone's asked me about. So we'll be right back folks,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

This program is brought to you by Vista Gold, traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Okay, folks, I've got a couple of questions here from folks that need to be covered here. The first one is about the Goldman Sachs. Basically, what you're looking at here is the first cycle fund. All you do is you go from high to high to high. And if that symmetry is there, then you've got the 135 pattern. I've already went through the ratios. Ratio number five was 61% of the number one high. And as long as we don't get above 44, excuse me, 440 in the Goldman Sachs, this thing's probably heading down. Right now, the high was 44, I believe, 44, and I believe we're at 440 right now. So that's what we're watching here. The other thing that someone asked me about was the e-mini and how I handle that. And all I'll do is I'll bring this chart back up and show you again because it's really difficult when you're switching over to contract months because these people that change this really don't care about technical analysis stuff. And that's one of the reasons why I have Jim Twineman in my back pocket because he's a stickler for perfection. Here's how I handle it. Even though they're trading December, okay, I go to the September because there's still active trading there. There will be until I believe this Thursday. But if you'll notice here, the distance between these areas is just exactly the way it should be. Now, once we went above the 61% retracement last night, which I believe is at 4105, you had to assume that we were going to go higher. And that's exactly what was happening. Now, in two days, two days from now, you're going to be able to see the December just as clear as it because it can be. But on the day of rolling over like we had, this is it. They shouldn't roll over until the last day of trading. But the tech people that do these charting things, they don't want to do it the right way. So that's the main thing that you want to pay attention to. I hope that answers your question. Now, I had some questions about the type of trades that I'm going to be looking at when I'm doing the day trading thing. And one of them, of course, was the wheat. Here is another one that I was very, very interested in today because we have these big moves happening and they're switching over to contracts and stuff. So this is the same pattern that we saw in the Dow Jones. It's the same pattern that we saw in the E-mini S&P. But I'm going to use the NASDAQ because someone was asking me about the NASDAQ. And there's your ABCD pattern right here. And his question was, can I sell at that point? And I said, sure you can. All you have to do is put your stop at about 20 points above it. And your first objective would be just exactly what the last swing happened. And you can see the last swing was perfect, ABCD. That's the action today. Look at that. Exactly at the 61% retracement. There's when we blasted through the 61% retracement on the September contract. So that's what happened with that. So what I did today, I followed through with the gentleman that was asking about that. And we had preplanned everything on this. And the first thing I told him, let me get this up here, is to watch the first 382 retracement because you know how we like 382 retracements. This has been really interesting because it's dramatic at what happened today. You'll see as the market made, there's the high. There's your first objective right there, right at the 382. Folks, do the work yourself. This distance right here is exactly like this distance right here. Just do the work yourself. This is a 382 off of the low we made this morning, mid morning. And what did the market do? It came all the way down, way through here. Then it's rallied up a little bit. Once we went below that 382 after making this high, that made another A, you'll see it right here. There's your A, B, C, D made another perfect A, B, C down here at the 50% level and now starting to rally. The first time we've seen any sign of a top was this pattern that's going on right now. So whether that means anything, I don't know. But that's how I'm going to be watching these things on the five hours that we have together on the 20th. There's so much stuff that you're going to get. You get any books that I have. You'll get the 135 PowerPoint. You'll get one of my very, very favorite things to do is the Mandelbrot Fractal. That's just an awesome PowerPoint. And you're going to get the overall teaching PowerPoint and opening price. I mean, I've got just so much to cover. What I do is we'll put our trades on. We'll look for about three or four trades. This will be our fourth one. This will be our last one for this year. And I hope you could make it. It's certainly worth it. The goal is, I'm going to be doing the teaching, but the goal is to make money. And we've done well on the other three. We'd be going pretty good today, based on what we're seeing so far today. But not every day is going to be like that. That's for sure. Okay. The other question that someone had was about, let's get it up here to the dollar index. I want to show you why this was so important that we were expecting a rally in the Euro. Just one second here. And here we go. This is the dollar index on the daily basis. And you'll see here, get this up so we can see it. All right. Now, this was the 3A2. And we said in the newsletter, if we go below that by just a little bit, your next profit, your next expected move would be down to this level right here, which would you take you down to 105. Folks, here's something I'd like for you to do for yourself. Okay. Just if you don't believe in these Fibonacci numbers, this would be the last time. Well, no, it won't because I'll keep beating the hell out of it until you get it right. You can see the big A, B, C, D on the daily. Okay. We showed you that on the weekly too. Okay. There's the daily A, B, C, D. That's the weekly. Look at this number right here, folks. You see that number over there? That 1.618 number, a 110.66. Do you know what the actual number is from this monthly chart on the euro? It's 110.63. It went five pips above that. And this is a monthly chart going back 17 years. You can't make it up. You can't make it up. Okay. Let's move on here to the next one that we have questions in. We got a couple minutes before we come to the final break, and we had another question to re-show that picture of that in the weekly chart for the request came from me, folks, because it's that important. There is the weekly. You can see that that's the weekly. The monthly you've got to do yourself. There's your number on the monthly right there, that number right there. Just go look at it on the monthly. It is a beautiful long-term, what we call a Fibonacci 786 retracement. But look at the little three drive here you have to right into that. Look at that little three drive on the weekly. This could be a really big, really big deal here for the currencies turning. Now, if the currency turns, okay, and that means that dollar gets weak, get ready for gold, folks. You know, we've been sort of friendly to gold on that last move down, so watch it. It's going to be, as they say in the trade, very, very interesting. That's the main thing that you want to be looking at. Okay. Let's move on. We've got another minute to go, and I want, oh, the natural gas.  Look at this. If you like ABCDs and you like activity, and I like both, let's get up here and show you what happened to natural gas today, because if you like ABCD, and we were doing this ahead of time, of course, if you get up here and take a look, you'll see there's where we were. Look at this, ABCD right there. There's your D. A, B, 78% retracement. There's your point D. And from here, folks, we went above the 1.648 expansion, big move in natural gas.<PHONE_NUMBER>.

I posted a chart here of the crude oil folks. This is one of the things we focused on over the weekend, especially to watch the crude oil, because we had a beautiful three-drive to a bottom pattern on the daily down there at 81.56, and the low was 81.12. And now we had the rally up. What I wanted to show them is look for 382 retracement, and there's what we got at within 15 points this morning, and it was exactly equal to this last correction that we had right here. I said $2 down here and $2 down here. We went $2.50. There was your 382, and then off to the races. So we've had a major bottom, I believe, in crude oil, crude oil, natural gas, and also in heating oil. And I don't know what that CPI number is going to be, but whether it'll be reflected by this, I think those numbers that are going to be in the CPI are going to be numbers that we've had the past week, which is going to make it look pretty good when, in fact, there's been a heck of a rally afterwards. So remind ourselves here that you got to pay attention to what's happening and not what they're saying to you, at least from the overall picture of what we're looking at here. Tomorrow, our guest is going to be Dr. David Paul from VectorVest. On Wednesday, we are going to have Rich Anderson. We're going to be talking about the grains, of course. On Thursday, we have Shane Smolian, the wolf trader, and then on Friday, we're going to have none other than Stan Harley of the Harley Stock Market Letter. I wanted to go over one other chart, and that is the that's traded very heavily, and that is the German DAX. Of course, it's trading in a different time zone, but it was telegraphing this morning that they were really looking at higher prices over in the UK, whether it was related to all the pomp and circumstance that's going around with the queen. I'm not sure, but that's what we're looking at. Could someone tell me the last price of Goldman Sachs stock, please? As long as we don't get above at 44 level, we're going lower. Live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may God bless.


Hello everyone welcome back to my channel. This is another hack for the Vigil DP832 programmable power supply and unlike the other ones you don't have to use the jog dial and prep around with a whole bunch of characters. This one is an easy enough one as long as you can go and get the resources from where they are. So we want to be able to take a peek at this link here. This is from the good guys at the EEV blog forum and so if we were to click on there which we're gonna do here and you're gonna open the link there and we're gonna take a little peek at what we're gonna do. Now this doesn't put us directly into the place we need to be so we need to go up a little bit. Let's have a look and then about here. So as we can see here look we can see the DP800 series needs this little bit of code here so when we need it we're gonna copy and paste this but before we do that we're just gonna look down the bottom and we're gonna see this thing here called the Vigil Key Zip. Now you need to click on that and download it to a folder. Maybe you just create a folder on your desktop call it Vigil Color Screen Pack or something and just pop that in there for now. It's a zip file so you're gonna have to have the ability to unzip it and there are also RA files and so the ability to unpack the RA files packages and for that I use 7-zip myself because it covers all these different types of compression. Once you have that you've got your zip down you're gonna need a USB key blank formatted FAT32. The smaller key you can get the better rubbed it's got a standard pen drive it's 16 gigabytes I didn't have to modify it or anything I just like I say I just formatted it FAT32 and when we've done that the file that you're gonna find inside this is not this. The file that you find inside here when you've unpacked it is this rival key and you need to be able to disk image need to be able to put that image onto the drive all right you can't just copy it across to the drive that's not gonna work you're gonna need to use a little bit of software and I use this piece software called disk imager because it's very very simple to use and we're gonna go through that so that's a little bit of software you can just download it's free it works only windows as I don't have your notice this is my windows partition not Linux and it only works in the windows 11 10 8 7 and incredibly vista download that put into the same folder if you want to it's not a installation file it's a run from the double-clicking on it and you can also want the Ultra Sigma software and you gonna get that from wrigel itself so if I've used wrigel.eu and you can just type into if you wish your favorite search engine just wrigel ultra sigma software download and it should probably bring you here if you get this because I'm showing you on this if you get to see the wrigel.eu click on that one because it'll bring us straight to this page and what we want to do is just look down and you'll see all sorts of software for right from wrigel to help people so we're going to be looking for this Ultra Sigma PC installer now you can get the help document if you like but if you're just going to be doing this one thing with it well I'm trying to bypass all that for you and just make it easier for you so if you download this but put it in the same folder again once again it is an installer this one you do install it if we look these are recently added out of the Ultra Sigma will come and I max I've not used that I've just used the Ultra Sigma I didn't need the tools or anything like that I just use the Ultra Sigma and I show you how you can do that in a moment so you've downloaded the Ultra Sigma and you've put it through and you've installed it all right you may need to put some dotnet runtime 2 3 in there and it'll tell you if you need to do that and once you've done that you'll reboot them your machine and then we are going to look at what we need to put together now so we've used we're going to use our disk installer which if I can just go back to where that is we're going to use the disk installer disk imager sorry oh that's the zipped that's the zipped one we don't want that just go back disk imager once we've unpacked it and we can just click on that and say yes we're going to use it and up it will come here now I don't have my actual I don't have my actual key pen key pen drive in the back in the this computer at the moment I've already got this removable drive here it will format for you it will wipe off everything off that drive so make sure you're going to use the relevant drive and like I say I've used the pen drive say get 16 gigs in the back of the wrigel you'll find your file and that will be the wrigel key you'll tell it then that you want to put it on there and then you can write the image to this now I'm not going to write over this because that's got all the information I had for this particular thing on there but you just write image to disk you'll warn you twice about do you really want to do this just say yes and say yes again and then you're done you've got the image on your pen drive which is brilliant so now once the image is on the pen drive we're going to open up the ultra sigma it's just going to open up and it's going to look like this now you must have I suppose I should add this now you must have a wire in the back of your wrigel going into your router or however it is you're showing across your network it needs to be in there because we need to be able to access it now it's simple enough the default settings in your router it will be an automatic setup for your IP address okay it'll use a DHP server and it'll be ultra easy for it so once you've connected on there you will see yourself on here it's searching for a LAN instrument so we just click on the LAN at a moment mine's not on so it's not going to come up with this but what you'll have is there'll be a the IP address that you'll find online if this just makes anything easier the IP address and then you'll just put add you can test it see if it gets response and you just get out now as mine is on I can do a test here now Pete please input the IP address if I just get rid of this for a second and go back to this land please input IP address first yeah don't know why it's doing that get out of that for a second exit the ultra sigma and just go back into the ultra-sigma okay file initialization now okay because it's DHCP it may redo that it may allocate it another number but I'm gonna try and see if I can put this in where I think mine was I think you could win 103 actually let's do a test no that it would have come up already insufficient location information okay let me just look on my power supply then just to see what's going on inside here input output config LAN and there's my mines 101 you see all right then we're gonna test that test successful now you can add modified instruments resources now because you've got your power supply on now now is the time where you're gonna plug in that pen key into the back of your power supply I read in the form that if you do it before it's not gonna work but now you can do that so we're gonna say test and then we're gonna add so it's added the instrument we're gonna say okay now you're gonna see it here mine or it actually says the DP a 3 2 a already because I've told it it's an 8 3 2 a and because the hardware is the same it's just a software crippled or software restricted that's what we're doing we're just changing the just changing that a little bit so we're gonna do it right click on there and then we're gonna get the SPI panel and in here you'll see there's already a part of a command but we just gonna ignore that for a second and we're gonna go back to our website that link I provided and where I highlighted it we're just gonna do a copy control V on this because it doesn't seem to work if you try and do it I'll show you if you try and do a copy a right click do a copy well I say it didn't work it doesn't matter I did a control V anyway on mine so and then we're gonna go into our command and we're gonna just type in oh just make sure you could get rid of all this and then we're gonna go V their control V so it's control C for copy control V for paste right and then we're gonna send the command if I send the command I don't think anything's really gonna happen just because mine's already set like that anyway anyway it says that it's set the model to the DP 8 3 2 a and now all you've got to do now is just switch off the power supply switch it back on again we can close all this down and you will be successfully changed there is now a color screen and we're all good how do you swap it back to monochrome not sure yet I'm gonna go start a look around to do that just so I've got a you know I'm sure there's gonna be there's plenty of commands when you look at the the scp I stuff but I wouldn't play around with it I'm just suggesting you can do this to change from the monochrome to the color screen which does look quite splendid we turn all those on that's quite nice yeah so there you go that's how you can just upgrade if you want to call it an upgrade to the color screen from Rigel DP 8 3 2 a let me just make sure I'm not left anything out so I haven't left anything out that's it that's all you got to do all right so you don't have to go searching for all the threads to find this little piece here as long as you do that you know you can unpack like the raw file the utility to this utility is a raw file just unpack it seven zip covers everything if you want to do that within Windows it's great if you got this far room you can always rewind if you need to go over the it again but if you got this far cheers for watching guys and happy hacking


Hi, and welcome to the session. Let's discuss the following question. The question says give the equations of two lines passing through 214, how many more such lines are there and why? Let's now start the solution. In this question we have to find two equations of lines which pass through 214. We know that every point on the graph is a solution of the linear equation All right, so this means we have to find two linear equation which has 214 as solution Let's take the first equation as 7x minus y is equal to 0 Let's now verify that whether the point 214 satisfies this equation or not Now our LHS is equal to 7x minus y, now here x is equal to 2 and y is equal to 14 So by substituting the values we get 7 into 2 minus 14 and this is equal to 14 minus 14 which is equal to 0 and our RHS is equal to 0 therefore LHS is equal to RHS Since LHS is equal to RHS So this implies that the equation 7x minus y is equal to 0 has 214 as solution. So first equation passing through 214 is 7x minus y is equal to 0. We have to find the second equation passing through 214 So let's take the second equation as x plus y is equal to 60 Let's now verify whether the point 214 satisfies this equation or not. Our LHS is equal to x plus y Now here x is equal to 2 and y is equal to 14 So we have 2 plus 14 and 2 plus 14 is equal to 16 therefore LHS is equal to RHS and this implies that 214 is a solution of this equation. So the second equation passing through 214 is x plus y is equal to 16 In the second part we have to find how many more such lines are there and why Now we know that through a point infinite number of lines can be drawn So there are infinite number of lines passing through 214 so There are infinite number of lines passing through because a point infinite number of lines can be drawn first equation passing through 214 is 7x minus y is equal to 0 and the second equation passing through 214 is x plus y is equal to 16 infinitely many lines passing through 214 because through a point infinitely Many lines can be drawn. This is our required answer. Bye and take care. Hope you have enjoyed the session

But due to the global pandemic, this season is looking a lot different than any other for the Panthers. Well, it's just a lot different coming out and it's always interesting to start a practice anyway in the summer with as little experience as we have coming back. But on top of all that, with all the COVID restrictions and things we're trying to do, it just makes it a lot different. It's nothing that we can't do. I think football coaches and athletes, it's something that we've always got to do. We've got to find out what the situation is, adjust and do our best to stay within the guidelines. Players on the team remain hopeful for the upcoming season despite the dreary outlook that could result from an outbreak. The coaching staff at Pikeville is taking extreme caution and even supplying students with frequent bursts of hand sanitizer to help stay healthy. You know, the locker room's not the same. There's no hanging out after practices or being able to do any kind of stuff like that. And on the field, we're trying to stay separated from each other and it's really different. But we're trying to just get used to it and accept it because we're grateful to have a season and we're willing to change anything to keep our season. Pikeville opens the season on the road against Raceland on September 12th. For more on this and other stories, visit mountain-topsports.com or visit our Facebook and Twitter pages.

The Pine River back as Tigers just made it out alive last Friday defeating Walker Hackensack Akely 22-21 with only minutes left in the game. The team remains undefeated but is now looking at a conference matchup this Friday. Our Taylor Archer went to practice today to talk with the team about their take away from last Friday's game and how they're using it to prepare for this weekend. The excitement of beating an undefeated team in the final moments of last week's game is still felt days later for the Tigers. To come back after an 8-21 score and to come back to 22-21 in the second half I was pretty excited with two minutes left. But their season isn't over yet. This Friday Pine River back as we'll face the Pildger Huskies. The Pildger is going to be a handful. They got a lot of offensive weapons and they got a defense. They run around, it looks like they're fast and so we're just focusing on executing the things that we do and not trying to do anything special or not trying to do anything tricky. Pildger is also undefeated with a 6-0 record and they might be the Tigers' greatest challenge this season. Pildger is really fast off the ball. We just got a match at or go over that. Last week's win has not made this team overconfident. We definitely have momentum coming with but we're definitely going to just shove that game aside from now and focus on Friday. The Tigers' main focus is finishing the regular season on a strong note. We're trying to move on and that's the conversation we had a couple of days ago. We got two more very tough games to end the season and we got to look forward to those and tackle that challenge when we get to it. In Pine River, Taylor Archer, Lakeland News.


So our understanding of heat capacities of solids at the moment is we have this simple prediction by DuLong and Petit or the Ecopartition theorem that the capacities 3R. And that's true in the classical limit when the temperature is high enough that the system can be treated classically. And then the Einstein model of the solids essentially just treating each of the vibrational degrees of freedom like a harmonic oscillator tells us this more complicated expression that gives us a temperature-dependent heat capacity. So this explains why many of the values are close to the Ecopartition theorem prediction and some of the values are a little too low. It can explain some of these other values that are too large. And I'll highlight some of the values that do appear too large on this table. So we see lead, for example, 26.4, tin at 26.9, uranium at 27.7. Those are all larger than the Ecopartition theorem prediction of 24.9. So if we have a heat capacity that the Einstein model tells us should asymptotically approach 3R as the temperature increases, how do we explain values that are larger than 3R? If we remind ourselves of where that value of 3R came from in the Ecopartition theorem, where that comes from is we have, if we count degrees of freedom in a solid, translational, rotational, vibrational degrees of freedom, there's only a few translational and rotational degrees of freedom. In our solid that contains a large number of atoms, most of those 3N degrees of freedom are vibrational degrees of freedom, each of which contributes a factor of r to the heat capacity, 1 half r from the potential energy, 1 half r from the kinetic energy. Altogether, those 3N factors of r give me a total heat capacity of 3N times r for atoms or 3 times r if I've divided by the number of atoms of the substance. So if the heat capacity is 3R, that implies not just that all these modes are completely classical and are completely contributing to the heat capacity, but there must be some additional degrees of freedom that are contributing to the heat capacity as well. In fact, if we plot the temperature-dependent heat capacity of these various metals, once we reach a temperature where the equilibrium theorem is reached and we continue a little further, we see that the heat capacity eventually will begin to rise a little bit more. And in fact, it is true that we have some additional degrees of freedom that we haven't accounted for here that are now beginning to contribute to the heat capacity. So these degrees of freedom that we've discussed so far, those are the atomic degrees of freedom, the motion of the nuclei. I'll call those the nuclear degrees of freedom because if I pick an atom up and I move it around, if I translate the atom or if I rotate the crystal or if I cause a vibrational motion by moving atoms relative to each other, those are all moving the nuclei of the atoms. There's also electronic degrees of freedom when the electrons are involved in the energetic excitations. So those electronic degrees of freedom, we've already seen those a little bit when we talked about spectroscopy. If I excite a molecule from one electronic state to another electronic state, those are excitations of the electrons. And remember that the equilibrium theorem requires these degrees of freedom to be classical in order to use the equilibrium theorem estimate. Translations are always classical. Rotations, those are classical as long as the temperatures for diatomic molecules. We saw that those are classical as long as the temperature exceeds the rotational temperature. So that was, roughly speaking, somewhere in the vicinity of a few kelvin or a few tens of kelvin. The vibrational temperature in diatomic molecules was thousands of kelvin, but in these solids, as we've seen, the vibrational temperature tends to be on the vicinity of a few hundred kelvin. So as long as we're bigger than a few hundred kelvin, the vibrations get treated classically. The electronic degrees of freedom, the excitations to lift molecules from one electronic state up to the other, because electrons are so light in mass, those excitations are so high in energy, usually taking visible or ultraviolet photons, for example. Those electronic excitations typically don't begin to be classical until we're well above thousands of kelvin. So in fact, that's what we're seeing here is this rise from 0 up to the equipartition theorem limit of 3R happens as we cause the vibrational, as we increase the temperatures large enough to cause the vibrational motions to be treated classically. But the electronic motions don't begin to be treated classically until much higher temperatures. So how many additional degrees of freedom do we have? That totally depends on the substance. It depends on the electronic structure of the substances. Maybe each of these atoms has only one valence electron that has an accessible electronic state, or maybe it has more than one electron. And that'll depend on the details of the metal or the solid that we're talking about. But what we can tell from the data is for the materials like lead and tin and uranium that have started this rise up above 3R down at temperatures like room temperature, what that means is they have anomalously low lying electronic states that don't require us to heat up to 1,000 Kelvin or more to begin to excite them. But lead and tin and uranium have some electronic states that are accessible even at temperatures of 300 Kelvin. So as a summary of what we understand about these heat capacities now, many solids have equipartition theorem values for their heat capacities. They might be too low if the vibrations in the solid are not yet classical at a particular temperature, or they might be higher than predicted by the equipartition theorem if they're not just fully classical at that temperature, but also have some low lying electronic excited states.
