a secret kind of thing someone taking a risk let's see secretly wants to kiss you let's see we're gonna find out who this is okay karmic relationship in the reverse wow coming out of a karmic relationship so in the upright fleeting triggers turmoil resentment lessons letting go and loving you I feel like if you're in a karmic relationship with someone where there was like a lot of struggle with someone as somebody that wasn't there was like some kind of turmoil some kind of relationship it's in like so it's in the reverse this person it feels to me like they're gonna take a chance here and show you some love show you some affection show you some like I feel like somebody's falling in love with you here there's like some healing of a karmic or struggle relationship okay but I will say that definitely taking a risk this person definitely like coming through being a bit strategic so it feels mostly like they're going to try to kind of show up in your life but not come out like very directly okay just let me get a couple of messages of love here and get into this and see what the heck is going on what else is Virgo need to know here I'm gonna find out who this is oh yeah this person wants another chance in this relationship a second chance okay they want to try something here again they have a lot of regret yeah for sure okay maybe they were maybe it was karmic there was a lot of struggle they might not have been expressing themselves in this relationship and it looks like now they want to show you how they feel tell you that they're falling in love with you or that they're in love with you they have a lot of regret feeling remorse for the way they treated you this relationship deserves a second chance they believe they want to bring it home they want to bring home to bacon they want to bring it home try to make something happen here with you let's see if we can get a kind of an idea and let's see all right so you've got the three of pentacles okay this person's gonna there's definitely a message coming in you'll hear from this person they could be an earth sign let me just get a try and see who this might be all right yeah Capricorn okay definitely showing up so far as this person being a Capricorn for some of you okay so this person I feel like they've been working on something they're gonna reach out tell you what's been going on with them tell you their ideas their plans like I said a bit indirect a little passive they're not gonna come out very directly like I'm totally in love with you let's be together I want you to be in my life there's a not very romantic kind of energy here but the hangman like they're very patient okay they have these like I'm seeing things differently I do see this person does see things differently they've been away and I feel like they've gained some knowledge they've been on some kind of journey or you guys have been in separation and the eight of cups always to me is an energy of like separation and then kind of like coming back it's like a temporary separation so you know been away just went on some kind of emotional journey figuring things out had some kind of spiritual awakening in some way and I feel like this person seeing things very differently and I don't like to really like say they're making strategic moves like they're being manipulative I don't feel it's that it could be a Pisces but I feel like it's more like in order to try to I feel like when your heart they got to do it differently because the way they were doing it before they weren't they were just being kind of non-affectionate they weren't really trying is what I feel like they weren't really putting in the effort so they're kind of looking at things differently now here and telling you I see them talking like they've been to school they got schooled they've been to school they learned about themselves they learned what they were doing wrong they figured some stuff out they have a lot of regret they want another chance they want the opportunity to try again this is what they've learned they're going to tell you that you know they treated you badly they weren't they weren't opening up they weren't sharing things with you they were making you feel like you were bothering them if you ask questions or if you you just were asking them how they felt or if you ask them you know are we still dating or are we like what are we doing in our relationship or even if you just wanted to see them and they were kind of like always busy they kind of realized that they were just pushing you out away or not being available there was like a lack of availability I didn't want to go down the road of emotional availability as much as just not really being present to the relationship which caused some type of I mean if there's a there's a desire for a second chance and there must have been some kind of split of some sort or just separation okay and if you walked away from this relationship Virgo if you separated yourself even if it was just a temporary separation or even if it was a divorce with no end in sight to just say okay we'll be back together later or anything it's just like creating distance I really do feel like this caused some kind of like seeing things differently not just in you but in this person for sure okay look there you go making some kind of transition so I feel like in November this person really hits rock bottom they really kind of are like this change brings them to their knees for sure he just sorts in the reverse it's got them completely curious about you and if you are even interested in them this person I mean this is like in the reverse tremendous amount of stalking I mean this person is watching you left right and center in November um I mean even weak for you like they're even like weak look at all that sword energy um they're they're even there's even like this fear of like you won't be interested they have like a fear that you're gonna break some bad news or they're gonna find out that you're no longer available or that you're gone so there is this like fear of being defeated that if that maybe they didn't come back soon enough too or maybe they waited too long yeah they do have this like fear a lot of regret for sure so I mean I am telling you November if you're getting strange calls or strange friend request requests or if you start hearing from this person um or you could just feel that energy this person around you and you haven't talked to them they're they're definitely snooping a little bit to see yeah if you're involved in another commitment um or if there's an opportunity for this 11-11 energy for you guys to kind of come into union together um and I'm feeling some strong holiday vibes here you know also if if maybe if you went and got married or if you moved on with somebody else they're looking to see if you're with your family or if you are I don't know even just looking for you you might not even be anywhere where you can be seen and that is causing them to search even more some of you might not even be I know some of you are not online so they're looking for you trying to get some information on you okay because they want to reach out to you you might have changed your phone number and they're trying to find your phone number they're trying to find a way to get in touch with you maybe even through your family get in touch like talk to you through family members or friends yeah you're definitely I mean I don't know if you're actually gonna hear from this person those of you who do have a way to hear from them will hear from them but those of you who don't have a way where they can get in touch with you they are gonna try to find a way to get in touch with you okay you might not hear from them because you have them blocked somehow um but that doesn't mean that they aren't trying to reach out okay so that energy is definitely playing out in November let's see what else actually I want to look at you show me more of Virgo show me Virgo what's Virgo's energy at this in November in regards to this person show me more of Virgo okay so you have the eight of wands you might be traveling Virgo in November you might be going on a quick trip for some of you um you'll be getting some good news for sure be receiving some good news in November about travel or just something some communication coming in okay hmm so if you're feeling down and out I feel like this this stuff is gonna um um some of you may want to be hearing from this person and I feel like if you've been feeling sad about this whole situation about a breakup or that it's been over you thought it was done or you just kind of melancholy or feeling remorse or regret on your end um I do kind of feel like if you're feeling that way and you and you want this person to reach out and try to make amends and try to help work with you to fix it probably blocking them is not the way to do that um you may have to open up the communication because look at this energy do you know what I mean like if you're kind of feeling down about it you're not going to see the message is coming in like if you're sad like this person's back is to the two of cups so you're not going to see the opportunity for meeting in the middle and working things out if you're too distraught about the loss right look at all those wands coming in this is Cupid's arrows okay so I feel like this might be more of like you kind of have to look up and pay attention um you'll be very if that's what you want you'll be very excited and happy to receive the message coming in from this person um all right yeah so look at all this positive energy you have surrounding you Virgo so I kind of feel like whatever has got you down in November um might be negative thinking that is affecting you emotionally um or a feeling like things aren't going to work out this relationship can't work or just maybe like anything in your life really it's just kind of shooting yourself in the foot you know before things get started or just feeling hopeless you know um and this is all kind of like you know these wands are coming down from the air the sun is up in the sky this is all about just kind of looking up you have to look up um I don't know about you but whenever I look at the beautiful sky and the clouds I always feel like much more positive no matter what is going on um so yeah this I feel like it's all maybe for someone it's just about how you're looking at things you know um I know this is a general reading but I feel like in this particular situation um I feel like this person is really having some kind of awakening truly does want to make something work here with you and you might feel like no we've been down that road before it's not going to work how you know it's good you know sometimes it's harder to sometimes it's tough to go back and read and redo you know because you already been down that road you know but sometimes it's better because you do actually know the where the pitfalls are you know um but I do feel like you have a lot of positive good news and good things surrounding you and a lot of positive support surrounding you um the sun is all about that success there's a lot of success and good energy all right so we've got a king of cups here so this could be the person that's on your mind right cancer scorpio Pisces you know and you might associate this person um with being generally positive generally loving but also maybe a bit moody or maybe you think they're very sad um or yeah that kind of energy as well I feel like this might be the person's on your mind now they could be a water sign sun they could have it anywhere in their chart though they don't have to be a water sign sun yeah so we did see Pisces up here of course like I said I did call out Capricorn so they could be a Capricorn sun or anywhere in their chart but the king of cups is generally someone who is kind of reserved um a bit they can be emotional yes but they can the king of cups especially does not wear the heart on the sleeve um they don't generally in the upright now if you're like no I was with the cancer and they were insane well that would be um a king of cups in the reverse um masculine or feminine energy you have to know the difference okay um not all cancers aren't seen or are Pisces or Scorpios right um if they're in the reverse they can be extremely insecure and they can be extremely moody and very possessive and emotional manipulators and abusers of course but when they're in the upright um they're very compassionate loving people very caring um and not manipulators you know what I mean so um I don't know what your person was because I'm not speaking to you specifically but there I feel like this could be the person on your mind and you might see some very positive qualities about this person but there's something here that might have you down about them or you might feel like um it won't work with this person for some reason something going on with you maybe or maybe you don't feel like it's a good match I don't know look at all this energy that's so positive all this positive energy around this person burgo hmm what is going on here because I feel like this five of cups is you wow look at this burgo um okay now give me a second here because I'm getting some messages um you know you for something here tells me you don't feel like you can have a long term secure long term security with this person I don't know why maybe it's a past thing oh king of sorts there might be an there might be an interference or um you might have some kind of interference or someone else on your mind okay or oh okay I know what it is if there's one thing I can say here it is this is it okay this is it this king of cups speaks the language of love which is generally not it's all emotions it's more feelings and feelings don't generally are associated with words and thoughts and the intellect right um this king of cups is more more about the feels and the passion I feel like the breakdown maybe here's the lack of communication and I said that in the beginning um and I feel like you use you need to you need that with this person and I feel like that person that's what their regret was they did they kind of were closed up but they didn't communicate with you they didn't talk to you um they just kind of were unavailable or they were busy or they just didn't um didn't I say that they just didn't talk to you that kind of thing or didn't have time if you ask them questions they just that kind of thing they're not I don't know that this person was a very good communicator and that that's what I feel like the issue is here they kind of blocked or closed up a little bit and uh communication is very healing for you Virgo um and it's very healing for everybody and it's really important it's the key to a relationship is to having good conversation to having um conversation that is I forget the word of course because that's me but conversation is productive I guess you know um because conversation good conversation productive conversation is how we solve problems if we have disagreements um and not fights and even if there are fights we solve them you know I I just kind of feel like that was maybe lacking here and that's where your grief is it's not so much the love um it's not so much the lack of love or the lack of feeling it looks like the the breakdown communication breakdown and I feel like that's what the lesson here was with this person that they could not communicate with you really just to listen to have that empathy to hear you or to understand you or to express how they felt through communication yeah yeah that's that's what I feel like the thing is and so that's why I feel like you're kind of down because if they're coming back in and they want to make some change or tell you that they they have these plans and ideas you really that's really what you want that's that's really what you want to hear um that's and that and Virgo that is what they're coming in to tell you that is what they're coming in that is what the changes that's what they've come to realize that that's what they needed to change so that's a positive thing right because the eight of ones that's all about communication keep his arrows this is the good news coming in coming in to tell you the good news and the good news is look at I'm ready to talk I'm ready to have this growth here you know and here they are even as the king of swords with the communication that's what the swords are the intellect and the thoughts and the communication and I'm not going to like uh hold hold myself up or block or push you away so that's very positive okay so you know Virgo as always when I give you a reading I saw someone left a comment I'm not going to say her name and I didn't comment or reply to the comment but she said now she doesn't feel like she wants to go on this date after a reading that she listened to that I gave please please I don't mind if you take the guidance of the readings that I give but please do not make your full on decisions based on what you hear in a general reading even if you call me and book a reading with me I never ever ever tell you what to do and I will never take responsibility or credit for your failures or successes I don't want them if you if you succeed in something due to the guidance that you get for me that's on you that's because of the steps that you took not nothing because of me that's nothing I don't want it and if you fail at something that's because of the choices and the steps that you took and I don't want anything to do with that whatever guidance you get here it's because if you're a decision don't tell me that well you're not going on a date because it's something that you heard in a tarot card reading on youtube no that's that's me failing no uh-uh absolutely not take the reading as it resonates and go on your date and use your own discernment use your own judgment that's where you're you cannot be a sheep you have to make your own decisions in life tarot readings are strictly for guidance and sometimes they're just for fun pure entertainment but you have to make your own decisions in life you can't let other people decide for you and I don't ever want that responsibility and if it ever gets to the point where you feel like House of Virgo is telling me because then you'll be like a candle in the wind because if my readings are different every day how are you going to do that if I if you hear me make a reading that says don't go out with this person tomorrow and then the next day or like if you're if you have a date on saturday and on thursday I say don't go out with this person on saturday and then friday I say go out with this person on saturday you'll be a mess you'll be all confused click off sit down take a moment to yourself and figure out what you want to do that's my caveat that's my caveat that's how readings should be okay i've got good friends good you got lots of support and good friends around you Virgo take advantage of your friends oh look there's a spying online card I told you and you know this person I told you looking for you trying to talk to your friends or your close your close friends are getting touched with people that are close to you so you know they're trying to get in touch with you they want to get in touch with you don't want to talk to you hoping that it's not too late just to see if you're available or if something can come up here or you know if there's an opportunity for us to have another chance together secure home yeah okay so just like I said with the home car with the four of wands there I mean I do feel like they may be reaching out to your home base as well or your friends definitely I feel like I'm that's really just reiterating what I already said you know I already said that and I feel like they're just trying to let you know again yes that's going on yes that's going to happen again I mean yes that's happening yes they're saying yes that's a that's a definite okay you've got stand your ground okay well what are you standing your ground in regards to ergo okay this struggle is over emotional wish is granted okay that's standing your ground and standing up against yourself and your negative thinking and your fears sometimes you know Virgo sometimes it's not about fighting off the enemy outside of us sometimes it's fighting off the enemy within and sometimes you got to just the biggest enemy the biggest obstacle most of the time is ourselves so sometimes we got to stand up against ourselves you know and boundaries I see this all the time boundaries are not put in place for other people we put them in place for ourselves it's not putting your arm out saying this is how far you are able to go to other people it's saying this is how far I'm going with you boundaries are for us they're not for others because when we set boundaries for ourselves then they're by default set for others we don't have to worry about the rest of the world that's none of our business our boundaries are for us so this is how far I'm going I don't know about all the rest of you nor do I care y'all can do what you want but this is where I'm heading and this is how far I'm traveling that's your concern should be about your circle your own circle not everybody else's circles so standing your ground has to do with yourself where are you putting your boundaries for you your self-discipline that's when your struggles will end and your emotional wishes get granted that's when it comes because if you're not sending your own self boundaries and you're setting boundaries for everybody else then you're becoming a people pleaser because then everybody gets a different set of boundaries and then you're like again a candle in the wind you're flip-flopping all over the place just set your own boundaries and leave it alone you have to have your own set of rules all right one more oh that one flew a mile away okay all right and spirit wants you to pay attention to your negative thinking that's just pretty much going down the rabbit hole every once in a while you can't stop negative thoughts from coming in but you can stop yourself from dwelling on them so this is not it's not like a label okay people say oh Virgos are such negative thinkers they're not Virgos are overthinkers they're not negative thinkers there's a lot of Virgos that are over thinkers and they've done phenomenal things with their ability to stay in thought negative thinking is not a bad thing okay um because sometimes we need to balance things negative thoughts with positive thoughts if we stay in positive thought constantly then we live in on a freaking cloud it's not reality um you have to have the positive and the negative in life that's just the scientific fact of life right um you consider a negative thought as much as you consider a positive thought we need to have that to balance don't dwell on negative thoughts if you dwell then depression will set in allow the negative thought to come pay attention to it and say okay i'm going to counteract that with a positive thought you can't stop negative thinking but you can choose how long you choose to think of a negative thought so the key is don't dwell that's really the advice have it but don't stay down there with it okay now i'm bringing out the brown cards i forget what they're called so i just call them the brown cards these are my hot chocolate cards and i just wanted to kind of pop these back in a little bit here and it's really called to bring them back out again to see what other messages that are here with these cards just want to bring a few out okay okay they just told me three up three up three up okay i'm seeing some people doing some old school 90s line

your chart um september 5th someone is 36 someone is 48 someone is 58 let's get some initials we have a c we also have an i letter i and september 8th um we have area code eight five oh eight five six it just turned two eight five six we have area code five four eight okay hold on you guys give me a sign another sign oh Pisces again strong Pisces in this reading showing up now oh where is it yeah strong Pisces show it up here or someone okay let's see a couple of initials more initials here okay we have the letter j also the name j someone is 45 um we have the letter y the letter e did i say e you're ready okay someone's name is che some calls themselves che like a nickname che i don't think i've ever heard that okay we have shawn the name shawn showing up we have sarah jessey someone's in jersey okay we have vera we have ray r a e or r a y um aerial or airy airy airy okay let me see you guys let me get your chinese signs real quick because i did leave them out okay let's see chinese signs of this person and you don't forget it you can go over to my moon pie tarot channel if you want to get daily readings of love those are collective readings i also upload love readings there an

but let's see if we can get it to zoom it's like um a cloud um yeah okay so this feels to me immediately the message came to me it's like partly cloudy day partly sunny like no cloud in the sky right and this kind of feels to me the message here is it's all in how you see it the glass half empty half full okay your message really going for the week i mean the month of november is pay attention to how you're looking at things are you a pessimist or an optimist i know some of you are going to make jokes about that statement and i know some people are like i forget the jokes but i get it um your message going forward is where do you stand with things are you choosing to look at the glass half full entirely full half empty or completely empty but none of that matters it's half full or half empty where do you stand right um if you stand with half full good because you're in a good place that's being grateful and that's seeing abundance everywhere and being happy for what you have and if you're seeing the glass as half empty that's being pessimistic and not looking at your abundance and the blessings that you have around you and that's just going to make your life worse okay so i'm going to leave that reading there for you i hope you enjoy that again if you want to get a personal reading you guys shout out to all the mods thank you so much you guys for being here every single

Welcome back to our lecture series math 1220 calculus 2 for students at Southern Utah University as usual I'm your professor today. Dr. Andrew Misalign This is the first video For lecture 26, which is continuing on in our unit about differential equations. We had saw on lecture 25 The definition differential equation. What is a differential equation? What's a solution differential equation? A lot of the mechanics that go involved get involved with that In section 9.3 From jane stewart's calculus textbook We're going to introduce the notion of a separable differential equation and talk about this technique of separation variables to solve differential equations And in fact, we saw in the previous video that well, we will see that the examples we saw in the previous video Videos we actually were using this technique of separation variable without knowing it So we say that a differential equation is of the form Uh the differential equation that's of the form dy over dx equals f of x over gy We say this is a separable differential equation and the reason we can do that is because if you cross multiply this thing You end up with the equation of the form g of y dy equals f of x dx And the reason why this is significant is because when you separate the variables The left hand side only depends on y and the right hand side only depends on x You can integrate the left hand side with respect to y And you can integrate the right hand side with only with x and that can help you solve your Uh differential equation and this technique I just illustrated to you is referred to as separation of variables And so let's see some examples on how one can use that So let's find the general solution for the differential equation d or y prime equals x square over y squared and we're going to find The particular solution when y of zero equals two So to begin with we're going to separate the variables and so I in this situation We have a separable differential equation I actually do prefer to write the y prime as dy over dx because if this is kind of helps inform me as I Separate my variables. So as you cross multiply take the y's together and take the x's together You're going to end up with the equation y squared dy equals x squared dx And so the equations have been separated the left hand side only consists of The variable y including the differential dy don't forget about that And the right hand side only consists of the variable x including the differential dx right there So we are able to separate the variables And so once you've separated the variables then integrate both sides The left hand sides are going to integrate with respect to y and the right hand sides You'll integrate with respect to x which shouldn't be so bad Bring it up over here. The left hand sides are going to get y y cubed Over three one third y cubed and on the right hand side, you're going to get x cubed over three plus a constant right here Now you don't need a plus c on both sides even though there's two integrals You only need a plus c on the right hand side because again, this is an arbitrary constant and so as you As you add an arbitrary constant on the left hand side and the right hand side You can combine them on the right. It wasn't make much of a difference. We've seen that before Now to solve for y I would times both sides of the equation by three So if you times the left hand side by three And this times the right hand side by three On the left you'll get y cubed equals on the right x cubed plus c right so what happens is times like three and everything disappears basically because three times a third We'll just become one and what happened over here is we took three c And we just replaced it with c instead because plus c is gelatinous cube here It's just an arbitrary constant multiplied by three is still just as arbitrary as it was before Now to find the general solution. We're going to take the cube root of both sides We get the y equals the cube root of x cubed plus a constant Now this right here is our general solution and be cautious with the right hand side Oftentimes we get tempted because we have an x cubed inside of a cube root. We can simplify that That's a no. No. There's no simplification. We can do right here Uh expander rules do not allow us to simplify the cube root in there and don't forget the plus c right here as well So this kind of illustrates that when we were integrating if we had forgotten the plus c We would end up with just the cube root of x cube in which case we'd simplify this to be x And although that is a solution y equals x is a solution to this differential equation Notice if you take the derivative of y you're going to get one and notice that x squared over y squared of y equals x you're going to get x squared over x squared versus one that is a solution But that's just a particular solution. We're looking for a different one. That is When the initial value is two So this gives us our general solution. It's important not to forget the plus c right there Using the initial value that we had above We're going to see that when y is two when x equals zero And so solving for this The right hand side will just become the cube root of c The cube root of c equals two if you cube both sides, you get c equals two cube That is c equals eight and that's going to give us our particular solution y equals the cube root of x cube plus eight and again, even though that c is itself a perfect cube We cannot just reduce the right hand side. This is as simple as we can get right now And this is the particular solution we were looking for So separation of variables works out really nicely In this example here, we solve this initial value problem I want to take a look at another one here y prime equals x squared over y So this equation has the form dy over dx equals x squared. Oh, sorry x squared times y Now at first you might think this is not a separable differential equation because I don't have a function of x divided by a function of y But if I have a product here, this can be turned into a fraction Which in case you get x squared over one over y And so in that situation you can separate the variables the idea is if you take this first the first equation divide both sides by y The y's will cancel over here and also divide both sides by dx I asked actually dx is in the bottom you want to just times both sides by dx And it'll cancel on the right leaving a dy You can just treat this just treat this like it's like it's an equation of any other kind You take this equation right here Divide both sides by y And then times both sides by dx We separate the variables and we end up with on the right dy over y Sorry, that's the left on the right. We're going to get x squared dx So we've separated the variables and once the variables are separated because the left hand side only consists of y including the dy The right hand side only consists of x including the dx Once you've separated the variables then integrate with respect to the variables on that side of the equation On the right hand side, we have to integrate the respect of y the function one over y That is going to give us the natural log of the absolute value of y. Don't forget the absolute value We need that on the right hand side. We're going to integrate x squared with respect to x We did that in the previous example. We get x cubed over three plus a constant And so now we're going to start to solve for y here. This one didn't give us an initial value So we're not going to try to solve the initial value problem. We just want a general solution here Now to get rid of the natural log on the left hand side notice We'll take its inverse function, which is the power of e Well, that is base e we're exponentiating here and so then Our function then becomes the absolute value of y equals e To the x cubed over three plus a constant. So this right here is the exponent of the e Now, how does one get rid of the absolute value? Well, the absolute value is not a one-to-one function So it doesn't have a genuine inverse function But the idea is since absolute value forgets the sign absolute value Forgets whether we're positive or negative we have to consider both cases We sort of take positive negative both sides to compensate So we have y equals plus or minus e to the x cubed over three plus a constant And although this is a general form. I want to kind of rewrite this into a simpler form Now one thing to notice here is when you have exponents like a to the n plus a to the m Sorry a to the n plus m. This is the same thing as a to the n times a to the n That is addition in the exponent means multiplication And so since we have a plus sign right here, I want to utilize that fact We can write this as plus or minus e to the c times e to the x cubed Over three like so And so what can we do here now notice the expression? Let's first start with the expression e to the c e to the c right here now e to the c is going to be some Positive number any power of e you take will always be positive in fact you can get any positive number you want Um e to the c will be greater than zero, but it's you can get all get arbitrary large So since c is unspecified e to the c represents an arbitrary positive number All right Now if you take an arbitrary positive number and you times it by a positive that'll still be a positive But if you get any positive number and you times it by a negative that actually gives you any negative number So this so this e to the c represents any positive number here Right this plus or minus e to the c this represents any positive or negative number Like so what about zero well if we come back to the original equation It kind of got all Covered up all this stuff right here. Remember y prime is supposed to equal x squared y Now if you take y to equal zero then y prime equals zero the left hand side would equal zero And the right hand side would equal zero as well x squared times zero And so it turns out y equals zero is perfectly a kosher answer to this example to this equation right here Now notice we came over here and we were dividing by y Well, you can't divide by y of y is equal to zero So by dividing by y we're assuming y is not zero and thus ignoring the fact that y could be zero So when we assume y is not zero we get that this coefficient Plus or minus e to the c would represent any real number except for zero um But if you stick a zero in front of this expression right here, you're going to get zero which gives us the correct y value so what i'm trying to say here is that We can actually write our answer as y equals c e to the x cubed over three and this right here represents the general solution to this differential equation Because if c is equal to zero we get this case We were talking about above here Or if c is any positive a real number the plus or minus e to the c or it took care of that And so our gelatinous blob is added again plus or minus e to the c is just an arbitrary Real number right here. And so our general solution turns out to be y equals c e to the x cubed over three There's a little bit of understanding there. I can understand if you scratch your head a little bit here But this situation just show up enough that it's worth mentioning That um, if you get the natural log of y equals something plus c Then you're actually going to solve for y and get y equals c times that something right? And so this gives some examples of solving separable differential equations using this technique of separation of variables


Hello and welcome to TV30, a production of the Government Information Service and the National Television Network. I am your host, Kenal Eugene. And with me this afternoon, we have Mr. Rodinal Souma, the Chief Executive Officer of the Karakum Development Fund, Mr. Souma. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you very much. When we hear Karakum Development Fund and Renewable Energy, what should we think about? What should come to our minds? Well, if you'll allow me to step back a bit, because I think I need to put it in a broader context. The Karakum Development Fund was established by the Treaty of Shagaramas, particularly to help disadvantaged countries, regions and sectors, so that they would be better and able to take advantage of the Karakum Single Market and economy. So where renewable energy fits into that framework is that it has been identified as a sector in which countries that rely on fossil fuels at the country level but also at the business level are at a disadvantage because of the high costs of energy. And through our process of consultation with the member states of Karakum that have signed up to the CDF, we have been given the mandate to help small businesses in particular address their competitiveness challenges by helping them to reduce their operating costs. And one of the areas in which their operating costs is highest is in electricity use. So and I think it's important for me to indicate now that because we are a regional institution that operates within the Karakum system, there is a specific regional institution that deals with renewable energy and energy efficiency. As the Caribbean Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, CICRI. So we have a partnership arrangement with CICRI through which we get support from them in executing our mandate in renewable energy. But we got into this business of renewable energy, particularly to help small businesses to reduce their operating costs. But as you know, because this is a major dimension of climate action dealing with mitigation arising from the use of fossil fuels and they need to mitigate the level of emissions, we have this dual objective that we are trying to achieve to help the region reduce emissions as well as working with CMEs to help them to reduce their operating costs in relation to energy use. Why is it important for us to reduce the amount of energy that we use? Of course, I've been hearing about it for such a long time, but we still have individuals who may not understand the importance of reducing that level of energy we use with fossil fuels, for example. Well, there are many reasons why we need to do it. Obviously there's an environmental benefit. It's a global issue. Even if our contribution in the region to greenhouse gases is much lower than the industrial countries, it's much, much lower. Because we are impacted by climate change, it's important for us to demonstrate that we are playing our part in helping with emissions reduction by working on the mitigation side. Also a lot of fuel is imported, so there's a foreign exchange drain from the importation of fuel. So it's important for us to use the resources that are available to us and also help to conserve foreign exchange. As I indicated earlier, because it's such a major element of operating costs for businesses, to the extent that we're able to help them to increase the efficiency of the energy use and to reduce the overall level of use of fossil fuel-based energy, then it also redounds to their benefit by way of increasing their competitiveness by lowering their operating costs. Happy you mentioned the benefit because that's where it's about to go. What benefits would one see if they were to start reducing on the costs and the energy that they use on a daily basis? One of the major benefits is cost savings. In fact, as we speak, the CDF has just finished hosting a forum here in St. Lucia, where we are trying to generate effective demand for investments in the energy sector. In the sustainable energy sector. We had quite a good turnout of small businesses because they saw the benefit of receiving the support from the CDF because they see it going straight to their bottom line through the cost savings that are generated by increased efficiency of energy use and also the deployment of renewable energy technologies to substitute for the use of fossil fuels. What types of business owners attended the forum? Do you know? Yes, yes. We had a cross-section of small businesses in St. Lucia. We had a particular drive to the agricultural sector and I'm pleased to know that quite a few agricultural agencies, cooperatives, as well as individual farmers and entrepreneurs actually came to the forum. I spoke to them personally and they're very interested in introducing new technologies that would help them save on energy costs. We had representation of manufacturing from retail and tourism, so there's quite a good cross-section of small businesses. Agriculture is a driving force in any island, any country, the world, and to hear that they attended and you're quite pleased that they attended the forum, what would you recommend for an individual that probably missed out on the forum but is watching the program now and hearing you, what do you recommend he or she should do to reduce the cost probably on their farm and what technologies should they look at to help them reduce the cost of the high cost of running their farm? Right. Well, we've had some experience implementing some agricultural projects that have renewable energy elements in them. For example, they could be looking at solar pumps, for example. Then there are a lot of innovative technologies in aquaponics. In fact, I was just speaking to one of the young entrepreneurs and he's saying that he's looking to scale up his operation by going vertical with high-tech solar-driven agriculture. So there are many opportunities that are available to the sector, especially young people that would see the benefit in getting into that type of agriculture rather than the sort of... More of the traditional. More of the traditional agriculture that we associate with drudgery and hard work. So there are a lot of opportunities and what we've done is that recently we've hired a program specialist focusing on sustainable energy who is reaching out to those potential clients and giving them the specific solutions to their problems, to the challenges that they face. One of the outcomes of the forum is that we were able to get a lot of the SMEs that attended, not just in agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, retail, to set up appointments for us to go to their establishments and do first-level energy audits to help them to determine the best technical solution for them in terms of renewable energy or energy efficiency. With the fund now, how can these individuals, these entrepreneurs, especially, tap into the CDF, where do they go, how do they get that information? Well, we've established a portal for the credit risk abatement facility, so they could visit that portal. Those that did not attend, we have them on a mailing list, we will get to them. Not everybody was invited could attend, and we're going to work through the associations and the cooperatives to reach these individuals, provide the information to them and what gets around. And we've only now started this process in solution. We intend to continue whatever leads we've been able to generate to close on them and also to do this to the rest of the region as well. So I don't have the information at my fingertips, maybe I should have. But once you visit the CDF website or Kraft website, www.kraft.org, you should get the information that you need, but we will be actively reaching out to potential clients to give them the information. That's actually the information at your fingertips right there. Yes, yes, that they need. But it's interesting because it's a good question, because what we've done is we put all of that information on a portal. And it's not just for the small, medium enterprises, but also for the financial institutions that are going to be providing the concession of financing to those SMEs. So if they want to apply for support from the Kraft facility, the applications can actually be done online as well. This is a very important terminology, support, because we have individuals who when they see fund, they believe that place would just give them the money and they can do whatever with it. What are you expecting from the entrepreneurs of the serious industries when they have seek the assistance from the CDF? They've gotten the support. What are you looking for? Well, I mean, there are a number of stages to this. And I think it's important for me to talk about the different forms of support that we provide. Yes. Most importantly, at the forum today, and in terms of the model that we've developed, we provide the technical support to the SMEs free of charge. So if you want an energy audit done and you're interested in becoming part of that system to get support from the Kraft facility as a whole, we provide free technical assistance. That could be for energy audits, as I mentioned, it could be that you have a project and you want to develop it so that it is bankable. We can help you with your project design. We can help you with your choice of technology, appropriate to the scale of your business. And all of that technical assistance is free of charge. Once you've done that and the project is deemed to be bankable, we have signed up a number of financial institutions in Senushan. We're in the process of expanding that pool. So far, we have the Senusha Development Bank and the Bank of Senusha signed up as partners of the Kraft. So you would go to them and they would assess your project and determine whether you qualify for credit risk support. That support is currently being provided in the form of a partial guarantee on a concessional loan. So that does two things. It incentivizes the financial institution to lend to you and it also makes the cost of borrowing lower for the SMEs. So it's all part of incentivizing investment in renewable energy and energy efficiency. So there are different forms of support, technical support, financial support. Okay. Now, what are some of the projects that you are involved in and around the region and of course, particularly here in Senushan? Okay. Well, there are a number of areas in which we do projects. We have a mandate in accordance with the treaty, revised treaty of Shahgramas and the CDF agreement to work in three broad areas. Infrastructure development is one. Enterprise competitiveness and business development is another and facilitation of regional investment. In our consultation with the countries that we serve, these areas have been broken down into a number of thematic thrusts. So renewable energy and energy efficiency is one. Sector level infrastructure, infrastructure to improve the productive capacity in agriculture, in tourism, national infrastructure is another one. And I'll give you, hopefully, can give you a few examples in a minute. And agriculture, importantly, is another sector that we get a lot of requests for support and tourism. In all of these areas, in most of these areas, we actually have programs in Senusha. We've done a youth enterprise project in agriculture in Senusha under our full cycle. Under this current cycle, we are supporting Senusha with community tourism. With the community tourism, there's a line of financing that we have through the SLDB that provides loans to businesses interested in doing business in tourism that is related to supporting the community tourism thrust. So that's access to finance for SMEs. But we also provide them with technical support to improve the quality of their product. And we provide the government with loan financing to improve the infrastructure in the communities to make them more attractive for visitation by tourists. So that's one set of projects that we've been doing. At the national level, we actually, in our full cycle, provided a significant level of financing to invest in integralities for their new airport, our Gail International Airport, including a renewable energy solar farm, which was co-financed with the global environmental facility. And now we are supporting St. Vincent in building hotels that will be given to international operators to manage. So all in all, we're talking programs in the region of about 8 to 10 million US dollars for these countries. We operate across the region, but these are just probably some examples that might give an idea of the breadth of the work that we do. Okay, well, we'll take a quick break right now and when we get back, we'll find out some more of the work that is done. And also, I'm curious to find out a little bit about the climate change because we always here talk about climate change and the CDF's involvement in the discussion. So we'll do that right after the break. This is TV30. I'm your host, Kendall Eugene. We'll be back after this. The world's climate is changing, and that affects all of us. Storms are becoming increasingly intense. Periods of intense drought and heavy rain, stress farm animals and destroy our crops. Higher average ocean temperatures kill our coral reefs and change the migratory patterns of fish. St. Lucia contributes only 0.0015% of global greenhouse gas emissions, but is doing its part, along with countries around the world, to reduce the emissions that are warming our world and changing our climate. These efforts are called mitigation. But decades of emissions have already changed the climate and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere today will increase average global temperatures even more. We need to adapt, that is, do everything we can to prepare for and respond to the actual and expected negative effects of climate change and everyone has a role to play. We need to protect our crops, build homes that withstand storms and keep our drains and waterways free of garbage to help us recover or bounce back from climatic events. Learn more about the Government of St. Lucia's National Adaptation Plan and the steps you can take to protect yourself and your fellow St. Lucia's. Welcome back to TV30. I am your host, Kenneth Eugene. With me today is our guest, Mr. Ronald Suma, and he is the Chief Executive Officer of the Caribbean, the Karakum Development Fund. I tried my best not to say Karakum, and it happened. I was about to give the entire Karakum a feeling when it happened anyway. Mr. Suma, climate change is a big discussion now. Well, not now, it has been for a long time, but I am curious to find out CDF's involvement in that discussion around climate change within the region. If you guys have any involvement at all, what is the basis? Yes, we have quite a significant involvement, which probably is not known by many. And it is because two of the thematic areas in which we work, I have spoken about sustainable energy, the other being infrastructure. Because infrastructure is adversely impacted by climate change, when you are building or building back, it has to be resilient. It has to be resilient to climate change. So a lot of our infrastructure projects have that element in them. I will just give you a few examples. For example, we co-financed the energy plant in Barbuda with the UAE and the government Antigone Barbuda and the government of New Zealand to set up a new plant, which would be green, more green, with a combination of solar battery, but also with diesel backup. So we have been involved, and that was in response to building back more resiliently after Hurricane Irma. And further to that, we are co-financing a project with the Caribbean Development Bank to underground the utilities infrastructure in Barbuda to make the system even more resilient. So these are two examples of climate-related projects. We have done drainage and irrigation infrastructure projects in Guyana that are meant to address the flooding issue. Which is climate-related and the elements of renewable energy in there, where you have a solar operated pumping system and a drainage system. So it's fully solar powered. So we are addressing it in that way. As we move forward, there are two dimensions to climate action that we're involved in. The energy side deals with mitigation. So I was talking about the credit risk abatement facility. Correct. So what we're trying to do is to develop products or programs that address various aspects of our mandate. So the craft addresses the mitigation dimension of climate change. But we are currently in the process of developing a fund that will address the resilience building, particularly for infrastructure. And including setting up a system that would attract more private sector investment in resilience building. So that resilience fund will be able to speak more definitively about it, hopefully later in the year. It's in the process of being structured now. And once we do that, then we become much more active in the climate action sphere. And allied with that, we are currently in the final stages of seeking accreditation to the Green Climate Fund. So we will have additional resources available to the CDF to help the region with its climate agenda. Why is it important for the CDF to engage in funds such as the Green Financial Spoke about? Well, it's critical because the cost of building back in the aftermath of disasters is very high. So there's been a call, as you'll be aware, for much more concessional financing, including grant financing, to the extent possible, to help the countries rebuild because they already have such high debt levels. So there's an increased emphasis on being able to tap into those funds to bring more concessionality to the process of building back better. I think that's one of the major reasons why we are involved, because as a regional fund responsible for addressing situations of disadvantage in the countries, obviously one of the major challenges we face is the challenges that emanate from climate change, both on the adaptation side as well as the mitigation side. So we have to be involved in order to support the region's development trust. Excellent. Now we have programs that you have spoken about recently and I'm curious now, the successes, everybody wants to know, okay, if I'm going to be a part of something, it has to be successful. What are some of the successes that you can speak of, speak about, and you can of course boast it to anyone who asks you a question, specifically about the programs that CDS engage in? Well, a lot of the projects that I have mentioned, I mean, can be considered to be successful, they've been successfully implemented. The Barbuda Energy Resilience Project that we are co-financing with the CDB is ongoing now, but the Green Barbuda plant is up and running. It should have been commissioned by now, but it sustained some slight damage from the recent hurricane. So they're now sort of dealing with that so that it can properly commission the plant. The Argyle International Airport is up and running, it's a success. And we've also successfully provided funds to the development banks on land to SMEs. We typically do those in tranches of three to five million US dollars, so we've worked with the Development Finance Corporation in Belize with these lines of credit, Senutia Development Bank, AID Bank in Dominica, the Greenland Development Bank. We're currently working with the Antigone Barbuda Government to resuscitate the Antigone Barbuda Development Bank. So once we strengthen the operations of these banks, they can lend more effectively and at concessional rates to SMEs. So that is a success story for us, and we're actually building on that using these development banks as partners for the craft so that they can incrementally lend more to SMEs interested in energy investments. Individual businesses, especially small businesses, would ask one question. What is in it for me? What would your answer be to them? Well, the answer would be benefits to the competitiveness of your business, lowering your operating costs, providing you additional cash flow for expansion, giving you an opportunity to expand your reach into the regional and international market by allowing you to operate more competitively. And this morning when that question was asked, I think they appreciated the answers we gave them, and they appreciated the fact that we recognized that there's a need to incentivize investments in the sector, which is why the technical assistance is being provided at no cost to them, and that there's support in the systems that we are making available to them, where wherever the challenge might be, whether it's a technical challenge, whether it's an access to finance challenge, we have put mechanisms in place to support them. So what's in it for them is a program that is tailored to meet their specific needs and to open up the opportunities for them to lower their operating costs and expand their businesses. You would have some that would hear that, see their comrades or their colleagues engaging in it, being successful, but they would still be reluctant to take the plunge, take the dip. Why do you think that? What do you think the reason is for an entrepreneur, for example, being reluctant to take advantage of all the benefits that you just spoke about? Well, I think when you speak to these business people, what they said, and some of them said it today, that there's a lot of fatigue with these new facilities that have been presented to them. They see it as a lot of talk and a little action. So we're obviously trying to be different. We're trying to ensure that whatever we offer, we can bring to a successful closure. And what we would say to them is look at the evidence, give it a try, and we are prepared to hand-holding with them and take them through the process. So in fact, one of the major objectives of the forum that we had today and we are going to do throughout the region is to raise awareness of the opportunities and to let them know that the CDF and its partners are there to support them every step of the way. So whatever the nature of their challenges or the opportunity they're pursuing, we have the technical resources in-house to help them to define, better define what they wanted to do, help them develop their projects, and to make them bankable, that's the most important thing. The banks have the financing, but there's a shortage of good projects to drive the investments. So we are offering the small businesses assistance and getting their projects to market. So I mean, some of them would be reluctant because they've heard it before, but we are able, even at this stage, to show them the successes that we have been able to generate so far. There's one company that has benefited from the full range of services of CRAF. So we showcased that this morning. And we are hoping that with the leads that we generated from the interest expressed today, that we will have a pipeline of projects going through the financial system in St. Lucia that can then add to that demonstration effect and then encourage more businesses to come forward. Now you mentioned that the forum was held today in St. Lucia and there will be more forms coming up. Can you let us know when and where they will be held? Well, what we have done, because the financial institutions are critical to the functioning of this facility, everything dovetails into a financial institution being able to finance a bankable project. So what would dictate where we go next is where we have signed up financial institutions. So we have done that in Belize. So I think we're going to go to Belize next. We are in the process of finalizing this for Grenada and Antigone, Barbuda. So these are the two OECS countries we're likely to go to afterwards. And as we sign up financial institutions in these countries, so there is some institution that the SMEs can go to and get the full range of services, then we go and promote the facility in that country. What is your ultimate goal? Our ultimate goal, and I'm happy you asked that question because the reason that the CDF was set up was to foster greater economic and social cohesion in Karakom. We do that by working with those countries and sectors and businesses that need the most help to take advantage of the single market and economy. So that's what our goal is really. Our main goal is to address any dislocation, economic dislocation that might arise from the implementation of the CSME, but more positively to promote social and economic cohesion in Karakom. And to the extent that we can help businesses to become more competitive, improve their capacity to produce and trade and create employment, then we are providing opportunities for social and economic cohesion. Excellent. Mr. Sumawan, I want to say a big thank you for joining us this afternoon with our TV30, and good luck with the forum as you guys move to Belize and you try to wrap up with the other OECS countries. This has been TV30. My guest today was Ronald O'Souma, Chief Executive Officer of Karakom Development Fund. My name is Kenal Eugene to have a great day. Bye-bye now.


There was some discontent being reported, Sharms, about Levine. What is going on in Chicago? They've been managing just a disconnect on the court between Zack Levine and Demar DeRozan. They've had team meetings set up. They've set up one-on-ones with Demar DeRozan and Zack Levine to try to figure out how these two guys can help this team win. There's no Lonzo ball on this team so far this year. So they're missing a guy that really alleviates the pressure. Now you have Zack Levine and Demar DeRozan setting up the offense on most possessions. They've been managing this situation all year and I think it's only festered. They both personally like each other but when you're not successful on the court and you're not getting any chemistry, it leads to this. And I'm told the Bulls and Zack Levine right now are just not seeing eye to eye and that of course is gonna lead a host of teams around the league. I think to really monitor Zack Levine, his future in Chicago, does he become available at some point here in the near future?


Hi, this is Debbie from Socan. You're watching Trucker Josh with his friend Diesel. Enjoy the show. This is Gashwan. We're about nine to ten hours from home. We're gonna get home tonight, but we're gonna have to hurry. So I'm glad you're here with me. I'm gonna need some company because this is gonna be, it's gonna feel like a long day. There's a few stops as possible. We can do this. When home's at the end of the day, we have a little bit more motivation, don't we? Let's get it done. Let's get out of here, head on to the highway. Looks like everyone else is leaving at the same time as me. Good. That means I'm on a common schedule. That's stuff. There are two roads here. I've got a stop sign here. I'm gonna stop anyway, because that's a road. And they've got another road over here. No stop sign again. Stopping anyway. I turned my signal along a little late there. At least there was no one to signal to at that time. Not bad. Thanks, Karen. See, I'm not perfect either. I make mistakes with my signals and stuff, too. I tried to remember that when I get frustrated at other people not using their signals. Maybe they were just forgetful in that moment. Try to cut people some slack sometimes. Sometimes. And this is the Transcantus. You hear the stop sign? And at the next side there, there's a yield. So at least I know what I'm supposed to do there. If you don't know what you're supposed to do, just stop. This is a yield. I yield to no one. Closest lane. I know Saskatchewan. The capital of Saskatchewan. Is that what I was gonna say? It's Saskatchewan. Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan. So Saskatoon is a northern city. So if you want to compare it to Alberta, Saskatoon is sort of like the Edmonton of Saskatchewan, and Regina is sort of like the Calgary, except the capitals are reversed. And Alberta Edmonton's the capital, like we were talking about the other day. And in Saskatchewan, Regina, the southern city, is the capital. Correct me if I'm wrong. Saskatchewan are people? Saskatchewanite? Saskatchewanese? You Saskatchewanese? Hider people. Rider nation. That'll make you happy. Their football team here. It's like American football, but it's Canadian football. Karen, I'm telling a story again. So Canadian football is a CFL. For those of you who haven't heard me describe it before, are you in the US? Canadian football is the same as American football, except the football is heavier and bigger, so it's harder to throw. The end zone is bigger, and you only have three downs, not four. I don't know what you guys need four downs for down there. I don't know. If you can't get a touchdown in three downs, I don't know. Well, why do you need the extra one, right? So we have three downs, bigger ball, longer end zone. Same thing other than that, for the most part. The CFL is pretty much the farm league of the NFL. Some people get mad if I say that, but you know, it's the professional football players that couldn't make it in the NFL that come play for the CFL. All right, that's just my opinion. I'm just going to throw that out there. I'm not a big football fan. I don't watch football. In Manitoba, our team is called the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, and they are the arch nemesis and arch rivals of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders, or just the riders. They call themselves Rider Nation, and Saskatchewan is passionate about their riders. You don't come here and diss the riders, and bad things will happen to you.  Just don't say anything at all. People are serious here. There's even some of them infiltrating Manitoba. You know who you are. I work with some of you. Very passionate about their football. It's a friendly rivalry. Whenever they play, we call it the Banjo Bowl, I think. But like I said, I don't follow football that much. Where was I going with this? Forget where I was going with this, but oh yeah, we'll just call you Rider Nation Saskatchewan. That'll make them happy. Totally forgot what I was going to say after that. Totally got sidetracked there. I'm not in this whole rivalry thing, because like I said, I don't follow football. I'm more into hockey. And speaking of hockey, you know what I'm going to say next. You know what I'm going to say next. Such a shame that Don Cherry was fired. I said it. There you go. You want to know my opinion? I was mad. I'm still mad. I'm sure I'm still going to be mad when this video gets released. He is a legend. He's been broadcasting Coach's Corner in On Hockey Night in Canada for 38 years longer than I've been alive. I grew up watching him every Saturday. It's a part of my childhood. And he messed up his words. He meant no bad. And everybody knows it. And then his partner, Ron McLean, Ron the Coward McLean, just threw him under the bus the next day. So from now on, between intermission or in the intermission of Hockey Night in Canada, they got a new show. It's going to be called Coward's Corner with Ron McLean. So upsetting. So upsetting. The outraged mobs got them. They got them. And it's so sad. Because the majority of Canadians loved him. It's just the few people up in their high ivory towers in the big cities of Toronto. They thought he was a little bit controversial. That's what made him so awesome. That's what made it interesting to watch. What's he going to say today? We don't know. I wonder what's going to happen next week on Coward's Corner. Pardon me, Coward's Corner. I don't know who the new host is going to be or if McLean is going to do it. I'm being a little hard on McLean here. I know he was just trying to save his job. He was just trying to save his job. McLean, if you're watching this by some random chance, disappointed, buddy. Disappointed. Why would he be watching this? I don't know. Somebody knows him. Might share it with him. Look at this.  Sorry, bud. I mean, that was kind of cowardly. I'm sorry. Often, well, I guess it is personal. You threw your buddy under the bus. When you knew he meant no ill. You know he didn't mean anything bad. You could have clarified and defended him just a little bit, but I'm mad right now. I'm so mad.  I'm sure he's ready to retire. It's just so bad, so sad that he didn't get to go out on his own terms, you know? And he went out like this. That's my rant on that. I wasn't even going to touch that, but there we go. It's out there. It's out there. Now you know my opinion. Let's get back to trucking. Let's get back to trucking. We're going to be passing by Balgoni Bologna real soon here, and we're about six hours from our yard in Winnipeg. One more thing, though, with the whole Don Cherry debacle, whatever you want to call it, the whole Don Cherry thing, and then I won't talk about it anymore because I'm sure those of you watching my video, they're happy he's gone. I'm sad and I'm mad, but the one thing I really admire is that he did not apologize. He did not apologize. For those of you who weren't watching, but Don Cherry, he's a patriot, a Canadian patriot, and he's done more than a lot of media personalities and broadcasters for our military. And during what we call Remembrance Day, it's our Veterans Day, just like you guys have in the States on the same day. It's our Veterans Day. In Canada, we wear poppies to remember our fallen soldiers. I got my poppy right up here, 365 days a year. It's always with me. You always remember why we have such a great life here in Canada, why we have the freedoms, why I can drive my truck from coast to coast and not have to worry about anything really. We have really no worries. But anyways, he's big into honoring the troops, okay? And so am I. So I understand what he was trying to say. What he was saying is that in these big progressive cities that we have in Canada, these big cities like Toronto, you go into the inner city and you don't see a lot of people honoring the soldiers. And you actually see a lot of hatred towards our soldiers in some areas. So Don, like myself, and any other patriot who walks into an area like this did what we all would do. We would say, why aren't you honoring the troops? Like, hey, maybe you should wear a poppy, you know? Someone died so you could be walking these streets safely right now. Someone died so that you could be as wealthy as you are, live in a wealthy country like this.  I don't know. Because you know they wouldn't have stopped in Europe. They would have come over here eventually too. And who knows, we could have been living under a fascist Nazi government for the past 60 years instead of living in the freedoms that we have today. And so we wear our poppies to remember the people who died to stop that movement. I mean, nowadays you talk to people, they don't even know what a Nazi is, but that's a different topic all together. So Don said, you know what? The least you could do is spend a couple of bucks into a poppy and celebrate. Remember this tradition. Take part in this tradition with us. Remember them. Everybody.  They do what they do. They did what they always do. They take it out of context. They twist it. Oh, we know what he meant better than he did. Oh, he meant this.  Come on, guys. You know what he meant. He's an 85 year old guy. You know what he meant. So on Remembrance Day, they fired him for standing up for our soldiers on Remembrance Day. That's why Canadians are mad. He was doing what any one of us would have done and everyone understood what he meant. He's an 85 year old guy. He bumbles up his words sometimes, but he's done more for our country than a lot of these people whining and complaining. Oh, I'm just so mad. Anyway, that's the whole story. They fired him after 38 years, just like that. But, hey, they reelected a guy who wears blackface more times than he can remember. So that's okay. That's okay. Reelect that guy, but this guy over here, fire him.  No apology from that patriot. Respect. Don't apologize to the outraged mob. Never apologize to the outraged mob. That's never going to be enough. That's never going to satisfy them. They're just going to use that as weapon against you. See, he admitted he was wrong. We were right. No, you were wrong. He was right. He's not going to apologize. So much respect for that. What a patriot. That's my rant. Stick into it. No apologies. Just like Dawn. So on another note, we're in Saskatchewan now. And like I've said before, Saskatchewan doesn't participate in daylight savings time. So because of that, they never change their clocks, which I think is genius. That is so awesome. Never having to change your clocks, never having all this confusion twice a year. Saskatchewan, you're doing it right. So we're in central time zone now, but at summertime, they're in mountain time zone, which is one time zone west of me. So right now, we're in the same time zone as my home in Manitoba. So the way I remember that is, because I travel through here all the time, I used to always forget, where are they? Are they with Alberta or are they with Manitoba? This is the way you remember what time it is in Saskatchewan, okay? Here from Manitoba is how I do it. During spring time, the flowers start popping out, the grass starts growing, the snow melts, it starts to get nice outside. Saskatchewan springs away from Manitoba to go hang out with Alberta for the summertime, you know? They go to the beach, they go mountain climbing, they, they all hang out together all summer. But in wintertime, there's not as many people in Manitoba and it gets really cold. So Saskatchewan's a nice neighbor and they fall back to Manitoba for wintertime to help keep us warm in Manitoba. Do you like my story, Karen? Wait, wait, this is how I remember it. So in fall times, Saskatchewan falls back to be with Manitoba to help keep us warm. Summer time, they, or spring time, they spring away from us to go hang out with their fun cousin on the other side, Alberta. That's how you know what time you're in without looking at the clock. Nowadays, all clocks change on their own mostly, right? Like all the clocks I own, they all change on their own, except for the ones you hang on the wall and stuff, right? But those are even becoming old school. Did they fix these railway tracks yet? Am I going to lose a tire here?  This is going to be, this is going to, no, they fixed it. Okay, good. Beautiful, it's still a little bumpy, but way better than it was. You got to be careful. Some of these railway crossings that you go over in Canada sometimes.  They're bad. In one kilometer, turn left on, Trans Canada Highway, Highway One. Karen, you know that that's not what you got to do because they got roundabouts here now, because they're all fancy and stuff in Saskatchewan.  So I get what you mean, we're going left, we're not turning left though. Roundabouts. You know, there's new lights coming up around our area at home too, and you know, I follow our local news online and on Facebook around my area, and they always announce, you know, oh, new lights coming to this intersection. You know, sometimes I'm like, oh great, more stop and go traffic. And other times I'm like, oh, that would actually help and make sense. You wait there, Mr. Grain Man, I got the green light here, me first. So yeah, there's one time where I thought, you know, these lights here, they actually make sense, you know? A lot of traffic, accidents happen there all the time, it's hard to get across with a semi, yeah, sure, put up some lights that'll help. Turn left on, Trans Canada Highway, Highway One.  Which way are you going? Which way are you going? Are you going that way? Okay, I'm going this way. See, I always use my signal when I'm signaling out, so here I'll put my right signal on, because I'm leaving the roundabout to the right here, that way the people at other parts of the roundabout know exactly where I'm going, right? Watch this, we'll do it again at this roundabout. Pay attention, children. I haven't even had my coffee yet, have I? I had a coffee this morning, that's right, I need another coffee. I don't want to stop though, I want to go home. Okay, so here we enter the roundabout, don't put your signal on, because you put your right signal on here, people think you're going to exit at this next exit here, right? Even though you can't. So here I'm turning my left turn signal on, because I'm going to stay in the roundabout, not turning here, I'm going left, going left, and once I pass that intersection, I turn my right signal on, because I'm leaving the circle to the right at the next exit. You see what I did there? They probably couldn't see it, because I know you can't see my signals right now, I mean you could visualize it, right? I don't know, is that the right way to do it? That's the way I do it. Does that make sense? Roundabouts don't make sense. And so we got, you know, we're just under six hours, straight down this road. Do any of you pull these pikes? Is it hard to hook them up? Well this one's not, this one has those sliding axles in the center, that would be super easy to hook up. I mean a lot of the pikes, they have that like little, shoot what you call it, behind it, that little tiny dolly thing? Shoot, I can't think of it right now. You know what I mean. So how does it work? Do you hook that thing up to the trailer first? Or do you hook it up to the trailer in front first and then hook the one of the, because you can't really back up with that thing back there, can you? I've never actually seen them hook up. All the Christmas lights in town are turned on. We noticed that they had hung them up already before Remembrance Day. They didn't turn them on until the Tuesday evening after Remembrance Day though, so that was nice. Main Street always looks more colorful. I wish that they would light up these trees in the center too. I think that would look really cool. They always just do the ones on the side and you know, it's a lot of work already and each individual tree along Main Street has its own little plug in, right? It's all underground. So they'd have to, you know, install all the plugs and stuff for these trees in the center here on the left. But I think it'd be super cool. Maybe one day, maybe one day they'll do that. I have to spend some more time this weekend hanging up Christmas lights. We didn't get nearly finished last weekend so I'm hoping to get everything finished this week because I'm not going to be home, well I guess I'm trying to get home for the next weekend. But I don't know if I'll make it or have time to do anything more. So I'm going to try to get everything done. We've got to get the rest of those red and green lights all the way around our house and then all the way around the garage and then see what we have left yet. We have a bunch of other lights we want to hang up and maybe wrap around our porch, the pillars on the porch and stuff and the banister. We try to go a little bit bigger every year. You know, try to get new stuff every year. One day when we're old and retired it'll take us all a year just to set up for Christmas. Maybe by that time we'll like, want the lottery or something and we're gonna pay someone to do it. Now that takes all the fun out of it. I'm just gonna retire and do it myself. That'll be my job, getting ready for Christmas.


update. Welcome folks. We have the DAO industrials finished down 464 and Aztec down 333. S&P is off 74. That's a down draft folks inside the Nasdaq of 2.5% inside the DAO industrials. You're talking about 1.3% inside the S&P 1.72. Gold, gold up 360 trade in 1910 an ounce to get silver up 30 cents, 24 all 61 cents an ounce. Light sweet crude flat, $91.88 a barrel, notes and bonds. The 10-year note down 7 ticks, trading 126.07, the 30-year off 19 at 152.12 and $Kingdala. $Kingdala's up 174 ticks, trading 96.198, Euro 113, again 114.99, the British pound 135 to 1 U.S. dollar. You know what we get over here, folks, if we take a look at those notes and bonds, it's very unusual when you can have the market down 2% to 3% and notes and bonds are still down. That's telling us rates are still going up. We go into the S&P, we take a look at the S&P, we have what the SPY is this. SPY down 750, you're 422, bottom line, it's going to jump the creek more than likely. The low, high volume low is 4276 and I suspect it's going to basically, you know, have futures down tonight. It will jump the creek, which is kind of dangerous, very dangerous actually. You had the cues, not hold price. The cues, we brought this up at the program, folks. This is pretty dangerous because there's a couple of different ways that, you know, you can do price projections and one of them, you know, that's pretty consistent is you take the consolidation, you take the bottom bit to the top of it and it's like we broke it and now it's sticking out like a sore thumb. Now is 297, 324, well, 324, we're next to it, 297 sticking out. That's quite a hit, 297 from, well, from 400, right? You know, that's, what's that, 25%? So, and then if that, yeah, 297 to 303, that looks to me like, well, we're going right, kind of right now. Won't take much. That's to get into that point, that's for sure. Gold, gold contract out here is a confirmed ABC structure on the way up. That being said, this is going to, this is, this is still so tricky inside this gold market because it's in a confirmed ABC structure up. But when you take a look at even the doll, it's like, okay, man, this doll looks like it wants to go higher once again. You know, we'll see where it shakes out.  The rest of this market is red in a big way. Have a great night, folks. Have a safe night. Please tell your friends about TFNN. Tell them to come on over tomorrow morning. Tommy kicks us off 9 o'clock in the morning. It's a great show. Have a great one, folks. Have a safe one.
