Condemnation is not of God. Conviction is of God. Condemnation tells you that you are a mistake. Conviction tells you that you made a mistake. Condemnation pushes you away from God in shame and fear. Conviction draws you to God in repentance and humility. Once conviction has served its purpose, it's time to move on. Don't allow yourself to condemn yourself for past mistakes that God has already forgiven, from which you've already repented.


So today I thought that I would start us off with an article that I wrote my freshman year of college So I wrote for her campus when I was a freshman in college and this was my very first article for them and I joined I was like so excited and I remember I wrote this article on a Hurricane break because if you go to school in Charleston like you you take breaks because hurricanes come which is a thing and I wrote this and it was just like it just like poured out of me Like I was I had a lot of feelings about my freshman year of college So I'm just gonna I'm just I'm gonna read what I wrote I am about four weeks into college and I have come to the conclusion that it's kind of mediocre Let me set the scene. I'm sitting alone in my dorm room at 10 p.m. Scrolling through my Instagram feed trying not to feel bad about myself I have seen so many pictures of girls from my high school looking so good on a Tuesday night They have that full-on flat iron hair gorgeous smoky eye and an amazing party outfit me being me I'm like, okay. Go you put two exclamation points However, the 90-year-old woman in me is saying go to bed. You have class tomorrow I don't know. I have a lot of feelings every girl I know is posting adorable pics of their dorm room with their perfect favorite fairy lights Surrounded by their roomy who doubles as their best friend and a group of girls That is already solidified. Well, I do pride myself on having some freaking adorable fairy lights. I did I didn't have some I am not having the same experience as most people portray online I believe that being a freshman is kind of terrible and here's why One you do most things alone or if people okay, this kind of gets This kind of gets weird Basically the point of the article is just that not everyone has the same experience So I thought that it would be good to like write an article about this because it is definitely something that I thought about a lot when I was a freshman in college because I was like I was very concerned with like Seeming like I had was having a great time. Actually. I wasn't that concerned because there was this article and I posted it online For everyone to read and see but here's the thing I say this right okay So when you're in high school that last that last year of high school Everyone is talking about college and your junior really like all of high school You just talk about college, you know, you just talk about how amazing it's gonna be and like how much You're gonna free them and all this stuff and like it is that don't get me wrong I I love college and I think that most people would like agree with me like the logical side of your brain is like Yes, this is great school is just school just gets better and when you're in college At least for in my experience because in high school You have like no time to really think and process the stuff that you're learning when in college If you have more space to To learn I don't know there's just like more time in the day and you have more freedom and you know It's it's cool. It's cool guys. It's cool But I there are like some things that I wish someone had explained and laid out So I didn't feel like I was completely doing it wrong I guess because I still kind of agree with this article I wrote like being a freshman in college is like low key terrible.  Okay, so I had a lot of roommate issues my first like month So a lot of my time was consumed with the sort of like drama that was going on With that and I'm never gonna talk about that on my channel like me in like 10 years But it was just like a really awful situation So I was like really concerned about all of that and like Figuring it out and getting to my classes and navigating like having all this free time So it wasn't this going out every weekend and like having fun and you know Solidifying the most amazing group friends right away. Like just I don't know Like that's a lot more rare than people would like to admit. Anyway, okay number two stuck up on food for the weekend So this you might not be thinking about this go to the the dining hall or whatever because most of the times Dining halls like have weird hours on the weekend. So I found myself on the weekend. The only dining hall that I liked that like served okay food was closed from Friday afternoon to like Monday morning So that was like three days that I had to just figure out what to put in my body to you know Be cool.  I don't know what you want to take just steal food from the dining hall Like if you're like me like I didn't eat like a lot of the hot meals a lot of time So I didn't feel bad using my swipes to like take bananas because like that's what they're there for, you know Okay, number three. Okay, so the biggest adjustment of college is definitely free time in this is something that I didn't I like didn't think about this until I went because like you just get there and Like the weekend happens and like you have to fill it up with stuff It's like going to camp, but there's no there's no activities. There's no activities you have to like figure out what to do with your life and That was really overwhelming for me So I got a job because I was like I cannot handle this free time. So everyone copes with it differently I don't know okay number four.   You're not gonna like that find someone who like has similar habits to you like you don't have to be best friends with Them like and if you are like that's great like that's that's a right nice time But also it's like kind of unrealistic like I just think that if I had someone that just like respected me and Like that would have been like way better a number eight If you're an early bird do laundry at like 7 a.m. On Sunday or Saturday morning Oh because no one will remove your clothes and you can do multiple loads of time Number nine don't let the pressure of having the perfect college experience like stop you from doing things So I think that this was like a big thing that was like stopping me as I was like Oh, well, you know I don't have this like immediate group of all of these best friends to go and do stuff with So, you know my college experience isn't valid and it's not you know I don't know like I just think that everyone is going through something in college And that's like another thing like it even if someone looks like they're surrounded by a lot of people I think that it can be an extremely Lonely time and it doesn't even have to mean that you're alone It's just like you're figuring out like a lot of new stuff about life. Oh number ten Okay, so learn your schools catalog, especially if you want to study abroad So this was something that like I didn't truly understand So if you an older sibling or someone, you know who goes to the school This is especially tricky like if you don't know what major you're going to do and you're you want to study abroad Really take a look at your school catalog and figure out what you know You need to do to make sure that you can study abroad. Yeah, so leave your questions below I might do another Q&A about college because it's you know, it's a it's a topic right with content. So do that like this video if you liked it and You know check out some other videos on my channel, you know if you're curious about gap years or other college stuff So thanks for watching and have a have a good day. Have a good one Just that's where you are. So that's thank you subscribe


Welcome folks, this is Tom O'Brien of TFNN, we go 5 days a week, we go 10 hours a day, we go 24 hours a day on the internet at TFNN.com, always remember folks, whatever you think about you bring about, whatever you focus on, grow, hope everyone's having a great day, safe day, so make it a great night folks. Don't make assumptions, learn to ask questions. It's always better to ask questions than to make assumptions. Have the courage to ask questions until you're as clear as you can be and you hear the answer to the questions. You won't have to make the assumption because you will know the truth, like they tell you the truth, right? Mock it eyes, let's take a look at it out here.  You get the 10-year note up 8 ticks, $1209, 30-year bond up $216, $146.25, now they both are going after their highs, monster volume coming in the market both yesterday and today. King Dollar down 946 ticks, trading 95, 925, King Dollar broke on price, has some volume, not huge volume, but I expect you're going to get it tomorrow, why? Because you had both the Euro as well as the pound go topside folks and I expect you're going to be going topside all night long. We have the Euro trading at $113.90 to $1.00, the yen, the pound is $132.56 to $1.00 and the yen is $1.1058 to $1.00. Let's get over and take a look at Tesla folks, we got to look at Tesla first because this is just pretty amazing, there's no doubt it's turned into a cult stock. Tesla rejected $288 today, you're at $297, the reason we're looking at Tesla first is that what you had out here is that you had Elon Musk bottom line, he had texted a couple weeks ago about how many cars they were doing in 2019, he had a number of about $500,000, the real number is $400,000 and that wasn't corrected for about four hours later. On top of that, the SEC went into the judge today to get a contempt citation, what's really intriguing about this is that when you actually start looking at this, which I did just the last 10, 15 minutes when the last show is finishing, is that this is going to be one of the most unique jobs in the world, meaning the person that keeps Elon Musk under control, but guess what, they haven't been able to do it. So let's see what exactly they're talking about. Tesla has declined to identify the in-house lawyer who is supposed to watch over Tesla's Musk productions and contentious tweets habits. The billionaire once again is in trouble with the US security exchange commission. The question is, who if anyone can reel them in? So this is what you had out here, Musk, there's no doubt, has shown no sign of backing down to the SEC even after the SEC today asked the judge to hold the Tesla executive officer in contempt of court. The terms of the settlement, now here's where I wanted to get to, because this is where this is going. The terms of the settlement with the SEC last year require that Musk get approval before communicating material information to investors. The social media minder didn't, DID and Apache RT, bless the February 19 tweet that boasted that the electric car maker would produce 50,000 vehicles this year. The sitter, whose official title at Tesla is Alternately Disclosure Counsel or Designated Security Counsel, did step in after C&E offending tweet arranged a meeting with Musk and draft a clarifying post. This is what one of their problems is. That one went out to his 24 million followers, four hours after the first one, saying that really deliveries would reach 400,000, a number in line with one of the company's formal disclosures. Bottom line, that comes out, then on top of that folks, okay, Musk goes after the SEC today, bottom line, it's a problem child. Second wise, it just shook it off. Reason I'm bringing it up is that guess what folks, yeah, this is going to be another fine and I expect, after kind of reading that, we'll see whether it's just going to be a fine. It could get more intense than that. Tesla without him, okay, so there's two different things where this can go. They give him one more fine and then that's it, bottom line, next time they kick him out of the business. Because what you're going to have here, you can do anything you want, it's a private company folks. You can't do it when it's a public company. That's the real bottom line. And in fact, even in a private company, you don't want to be telling people you're doing 500,000 cars, you're really doing 400,000, bottom line. That in itself would still, you wouldn't have the SEC over here, but you'd have the FDA or FTC over here, yeah, because that's still a fraud. That's the bottom line. So anyway, we'll see where this shakes out with Tesla. Notes and bonds out here, they continue to want higher price. That's why it looks to me, and it's going to be so cool watching how tonight shakes out as well as tomorrow to see if this note and bond market has picked it up once again that this market wants lower price. When you take a look at this note market, it's pretty incredible. We did 3 million contracts out here today, 3 million. And you're 12209. The high is 1.2307. That's going to be there in a heartbeat. It looks like the 30-year bond, same type of setup, up 22 ticks. Remember, 32 ticks is a full point. 670,000 contracts. The high out here is 14827. And so that's just two points away. Two points is nothing. And in the 30-year, two points is nothing. And what you very well could have here is that you could have a very large ABC structure on the way up, which would be just pretty amazing. Some of the gold contracts. So gold rejected lower price out here today. Dollar finally moved lower. Gold had a low of about 1325. You ended up at 1330. Gold's still in a confirmed ABC structure up, 135410. We hit 134980 on the 20th. So what I expect we're going to see out here and we're at the beginning of the week, which is pretty cool. You're going to see lots of movement inside the currency market. You're going to see lots of movement inside the futures market. I expect we're going to see lots of movement inside the metals market in general. Dow Industries finished down 33. Nasdaq are five. S&Ps up five. You had gold up a buck for Audi. Silva, let's go take a look at Silva. Silva out here today, this year. Silva was up about two tenths of 1%, three cents. That's good. Rejected lower price, man. We got down to 1583. Rejected it. You're finishing out out here at 1596. Come right back.


Following is a presentation of TFNN, The Trader's Edge with Steve Rhodes, toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. The Trader's Edge. Now, Steve Rhodes. Good afternoon, folks. Welcome to the May 5th, the terrific Thursday edition of today's Trader's Edge show. I'm your host, E.B. Perseverance Rhodes, who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope everyone out there is having a great day. Hey, let's make sure we have an extraordinary one and the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us, not to us. That's right. We do not make that one little two by four shift. It means we can find the gift in every set of circumstance that life is going to toss at us. Now today, you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We'll go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I at just past one o'clock in the afternoon. I do want you to know I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here. But more important than that, and that's this, during this next 60 minutes, I'm here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone. You can dial in at<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you can't dial in, we've got you covered there too. You can always let those fingers do the walking. And that means go ahead and send me an email, send it early and send it to Steve at TFNN.com. And inside the subject heading, if you'd be kind enough to put radio show question. Of course, in our Tigers general, any ping, but I tell you what, I do prefer the private pings, but any ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on terrific Thursday. Of course, this is Tiger, Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to the show. Right now you've got all the U.S. indices trading down side. Dow's off 877, S&P 127, Nasdaq 572, Russell 71. That's two and a half, 3%, four and a quarter, and early three and seven tenths percent to the downside. Semi-zarf 118, three and seven tenths percent there. You've got gold trading out at 1880. Silver trading out at 2254. Slight sweet crude 10782. Natural gas is up 25 cents. Trade at 866. And the 30th Treasury down three ticks. Trade out at 13704. Lead in the charge dollar-wise the upside booking holdings. 89 bucks. E-Pam systems, 32 or 10%. Argenics is up 31 bucks or 10%. Albie Marl is up 8% or 17 bucks. Silicon motion technologies, $15 and 18%. Amazon down 165 bucks, 7%. Google down 107, 4%. Google and Mercado Learbae off 88, 9%. Shopify, 65, 13%. Tesla down 7% or 65 bucks. So we've got some movers and we've got some shakers. But let's go do the play-by-play right now because what we have here is consistency. And the consistency or uniformity, I don't know which one it is. What we have is all four 60-minute timeframe charts for the equity futures. So what? TD nine-count bottom patterns. So you've got your bottom signal in place. Now the cool thing here is you're going to know shortly whether this is just a counter-trend move. How are you going to know that? Well, first, if you take a look at the upper left-hand panel. Yes, many. In fact, I'll just expand it out. Then we're all looking at the exact same thing. What do we see there? Well, yes, we see that TD nine-count bottom. But what we also see is a bullish structured profile. And we see two bars with two closes below the bottom of that profile. If this is only a counter-trend move, price will find resistance at 41.75. If we see it close above 41.75, I'm not talking 41.76. I'm talking a decent move above 41.75. Then we'll see a run to 42.06 and then around the 42.23 level. But again, if this is just the counter-trend rally, a little bit of a relief from a plop-plop-fizz-fizz, then 41.75 is the number. And that's the EES mini. If we take a look at the other three, what we can see out here is the NQ is not going to assist us as well. And the reason is because I don't have that same kind of structured profile. But we do have a... Actually, we've got the same thing going on inside the Dow equity-future contract and inside the Russell. So this is cool because you've got three of the equity-future contracts. And if it's just a relief rally, then they're going to find resistance at the center of their bullish-structured 60-minute profiles. And that's 33.145 on the Dow equity-future contract. So that's the level to be watching there. And inside the Russell, 2,000, the number is going to be 1,884. So really kind of a cool setup. This is a gift from the universe that's going to allow you to be able to interpret what the message of the market is. We know that we've gotten to the place because of all the 60-minute TD9 counts where the relief rally or some type of rally can unfold. So now it's a matter of watching the resistance levels out there. So again, not until you see close above those three levels out there, does that mean that this move is anything other than just a bit of a relief? Now, I'm looking at the other instruments out here just to see if there's anything of use to you. And there is, and that's in the U.S. Dollar Index. The U.S. Dollar Index formed a TD9 count bottom. It did that at 5 o'clock this morning. We saw a nice little rally. That rally found resistance where it should have, which was the top of the 60-minute profile at the 103.46 level. So here's what you know. If the U.S. Dollar Index is able to take out that low, that low, by the way, is 102.81. Again, that would tell us about a move back to its breakout level, which is at the 102.29 area. So I don't know that there's much else for me to share with you. I mean, we can, I can share a bunch of stuff with you with regard to the equity future contracts or anything that you want. We can go look at multi-timeframes. And it will help us to just kind of buy some time, so to speak. What I like to think that I've been able to do for you right now is identify the exact levels that you need to be watching, that you need to be observing to assist you with any of your intraday type trading out there. So I do hope that that helps you out. No questions yet that I say. I take that back. There is a question from Koda. And so let's go take a look at that question. I want to get behind on these things here. And Koda wants to take a look at ticker symbol DRV. I know I should know that off the top of my head. I think that might be, yeah, I'm not even going to thank. I'm not even going to share. We're just going to let the screen populate out here. DRV is the Direction Daily Real Estate Bear. And so I don't know what the question is other than just DRV, please. So we'll let these screens get populated. What I can share with you is that price is trading above the top of the daily profiles. So that is you're trying to get long that. Okay. So your entry point here, if that's what you're asking, I would right now use $35.52, which is the top of the daily profile, that foreign below price. So it's kind of a bullish, it's not kind of, it is a bullish message with the exception of what's going on inside the weekly and the monthly chart. So I believe we've got the, we've got the white background charts up here. So it's this daily timeframe. I'll try to expand this chart out for you. Two more than just that. There we go. And so you can sort of see this new profile down here, peak, kind of where my cursor is at 33, 35, 34, 43 and 35, 52. So that's a bullish message when profiles form below support. No topping pattern that's out here, but the ideal area to get long would be a pullback to the top of the profile in the oscillator and change line. So it's in the 35, 52 area. Let's look at the other charts. Weekly chart, let's go ahead and open this up, pull this back. What do you have? It's peak G in the Tiger stand because if not, he must be on this chart here because that's what you've got now as a bottom. So this makes that seventh wave move. It does that down on April, the week of April 22nd out there. So that's kind of a bullish moving price right now. Even though it's hard to see his back inside his profile, I'll switch to the background charts here for you momentarily. You got a topping signal on the 195, the price sells support, the oscillator change line. So it goes like this, Kota. I don't see yet a reason why price is going to pull back. It's just the top of that profile. But that's what I'd be waiting for as we speak right now. Steve Rhodes with TFNN will be right there.

So if you take a look at, here's the eight-panel chart for the EES Mini and you'll see that as far as these time frames are concerned, the only one that is assisting us is really the 60-minute time frame. Now, there's information we can glean from the daily chart, which is why I've got it up on our screen out here. So you're going to watch the close today. You're probably able to close with 41.73, 41.74, which is the bottom of its daily profile. Then what we have right now is a good old-fashioned consolidation with inside that profile level. 41.74 being support, really 40.94, 25. It should be the bottom of that area. But in 43.23 being the top of that daily profile out there. So nothing else to assist us here. It's a 60-minute chart that really you want to pay attention to. And again, watch that 41.74 level. That is the where, if this is just a counter-trend move, a relief route, that's where you're going to find some resistance at. We've got a request that is coming by email. So let's get over to the set of charts that this is going to take a look at. If you give me a moment, where is, here we go. And this is from AP out here. And he says, hey, Steve, volume coming in lighter. So he's looking at the XLE. So the, okay, but it's moving higher and lower. But that's fine. Do you see XLE retesting the 71-ish mark out there? So 71. So to get to 71, we're going to open up the daily timeframe chart. Let me make sure I'm on the right spot. Yep, okay. So, well, first let's do this. If we take a look at the monthly chart. Monthly chart is bullish. It's going to form bar number, or appears that it will form bar number eight of a TD9 count. We know that a bar eight, nine, or the bar following nine can be the high. But there's nothing right now to suggest that the high is going to form in the month of May, not just yet at least. We would say that would be different if we get it. So as I say that, I now look to the weekly chart. So I go from a higher level to a little bit of a lower level to another lower level. And that's in essence how we unpeeled this onion year. Well, it turns out that the XLE, the energy sector, still has a roadsman to Mindicator top. However, if price is able to close above 81.51, we're at 80.50 right now. If price goes up to 81.51 Allen, that tells you a strong momentum move, that price should continue to move higher. But otherwise right now it's a neutral signal because you have price above that green oscillator and change line. Daily timeframe, at least as of 1.20, has generated a bearish dark cloud cover candle. And that is with price moving higher to a less relative energy out there. But at the same time, you're asking, can price get back to 71 bucks? But look what price has done. It pulled back the test and rejects so far that green oscillator and change line. So that is the first level that price would have to close below to get back to 71. So if you're asking me right now, is there a signal to get back to 71? No. There's a potential because you've got a roadsman to Mindicator top. But the first level that has to fail is that green oscillator and change line. Then when that fails, doesn't guarantee you're going to get back to 71. That next level of support. In the XLE, that next level of support is 77.31. If you can get below that, then you're looking at 74.15 and then below that, 72.05. So we're going to have to say 72.05 is going to be close to your 71 level. But that is the progression that you would need to take a look at. So that was the monthly. That was the weekly. That was the daily out here. As I look for intraday type signals, 30 minute, no reason for it to have topped out where it did. It was wave number seven price pulls back, tests rejects its breakout level, which was 79.25. So that's a bullish type of a move out here. So right now, even though you've got some topping signal, topping pattern on the weekly potential topping signal on the daily. It's really still neutral out here. That's the XLE and the signals do not show, Alan, that price will get back to the 71 level. Not that they can't, but they've got to break through all these other areas. So I hope that that helps you out and thanks so much for writing in. Let's see here. We've got John and Philly. John, thanks for calling. Thanks for holding. How are you today? Steve, I'm doing very well. Thanks for taking the call and my Lord, the volatility up and down yesterday today. Perfect for a trader. I wanted to ask for your help on the NDAX, NASDAQ 100 and the futures and QM2 and the bond chart. What I'm specifically interested in, Steve, and this is just to be prepared in the event of a wide price spread heading lower in the next day, weeks, that sort of thing, because bonds are already underway in that dynamic. I'd be interested, please, in your daily and weekly charts, the ones in which you show the lower FIPS support levels combined with your ABCD and AB expanded CD targets.  I asked for this just to be prepared in the event that we get wide price spread lower to have some benchmarks that we can pay attention to. So that's my request. And if I could, I'd take this discussion of yours off air, if I could, please. Yeah, no problem at all. I'll do my best to try to remember what you had asked for and give that information. If I don't give you something, just type something to me in the tiger's den and I'll make sure they get to that. All right, John, so thanks so much for calling. Thanks so much. You bet. So where do we start? I'm going to start with the daily timeframe and the daily timeframe for the NQ. What you'll see is there you'll see a small A to B equals CD pattern that completed it completed with the Three River Morning Star. That was a three candle formation that three candle formation occurred on the trading days of April 26, April 27 and April 28. So the level of support that price needs to close below not test close below to negate that signal is 12801 50. So that's the first level that must fail then for this next element to take place, which is we would go to the weekly chart. So if we get a close below 12801 50. That's going to signal that the weekly A to B equal CD pattern is kicking in. Now, last week's signal was actually a close not below the swing point, but below a hammer candle from the trading session of February 21st out there. That low was 13022. You close below the bottom of a hammer candle. It usually spells trouble out there. So if we get a second close below that today and certainly if you get a second week this week, I should say. John, if on Friday tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow, I'm going to record the show between eight and nine. So for all of you that are listening in that can join me early, I'd appreciate that. Of course, if you can't join us and I'll make that show as pertinent as I can for the one to two o'clock slot. But the one to one A to B equal CD on the weekly would get you down to 11445 the 1.272 10405 and the 1.618 9082. Those would be the price levels. But before price can get to 11445, we also see that there is potential support at the bottom of its monthly profile. And so that's really a level that has to be cracked. And that's at 12532. So it's going to go like this, John. If we see a close below 128150 on a daily timeframe, that's going to trigger the A to B equal CD on the weekly. But before price can get down to any of those price projections, price needs to contend with the support level on the monthly timeframe, which is 12532. As far as retracement areas out here, if I were just simply to go to the quarterly timeframe chart and we take a look at, you know, important levels of retracement. So for example, for me, an important level of retracement would be off of the 2020 lows. So the March 2020 lows out there, which inside the NQ, well, was abusing my synthetic contract. So it was approximately 657650. But if we go from that low to the high out here in November of 2021, we'll see that so far the NQ has only done a 0.382 retracement. Basically not much. And it's sitting at a profile support level, the center of its bullet-structured quarterly profile. The next level, if price closes below this area, would get us down to the 10468 10763 area.

I was speaking, talking about one set of charts, and that was not the set of charts that were up on the screen. So here you go again. I'll do it relatively quickly. Key level of sport on the daily timeframe for the NQ is at 12, 8 to 150, the bottom of its three river morning star that confirmed A by the D point. If that fails, that would set up a potential A to B equal CD to the downside. That's a weekly chart, upper right-hand corner, 11, 445, target number one, 10, 404, target number two. But before either of those targets can be met, price will have to take on the bottom of its monthly profile at 12, 532. If 12, 532 fails, well then that really signals A to B equal CD pattern that we're looking at, which would again take us into that 10, 404, 11, 404. It turns out on a quarterly timeframe we have confluence that exists between about 10, 468 and 10, 763. So I think, John, that's the information that you were looking for. And if not, just go ahead and send me a message inside the Discord Tiger's Den and I'll get that information to you. So sorry that I didn't show the correct charts the first time around. We do have requests to go take a look at Goldilocks out here for one of our listeners that is listening in while he is driving out there that is at George, I believe. So George wants to take a look at Goldilocks. So that's in fact what we will do. So here's our four different timeframes and our four different timeframes. So you know what I need to do? I'm going to change the charts here right now because it will actually show what really took place with the gold at this stage of the game. Then I'll come back to these charts here and just see if there's some additional information. And so what I want to show you is the following. And this is really going to be key for gold. I'm going to expand out the daily timeframe chart. So what gold does not have on a daily basis, any kind of a bottoming signal, at least none of the patterns that I use are present to identify a bottom. That doesn't mean that price can't rally or anything, which it has. But in the case of gold, what it was able to do was get up and test and reject that red oscillator and change line. So that's not really a great situation for a gold that could be signaling to us that is preparing to get down to the 1791-60 level out there. So that's the first message. As long as we're looking at these charts out here, our eight-panel set of charts, there is support between 1808 and 1838. That is the bullish-structured area, George, of its weekly profile. As I look to intraday timing charts out here, the five hours still has a nice TD9 count, Road's Mentor-Mindicator signal. The 240's got a nice Road's Mentor-Mindicator signal, as does the 120-minute chart. And in those instances, price is just pulling back and testing support levels. So it's not as exactly as if gold has lost it all just yet. But what you don't like, George, is how price got up. It also got into the area. So that was a bullish-structured daily profile, center closer to the bottom than it is to the top. And again, when countertrend rallies, if that's all that this move is, because we were two days below the bottom of that profile out there, where countertrend rallies end is at the center of that profile. And that's at the 1897 level. Now, the day's not over. Perhaps there's some type of rally that unfolds. But right now, it's looking like what gold is at least going to do is go test the recent low from a couple days ago. And if it blows through that, then it's got its breakout level to go target. Again, that's in the 1791 area. Again, I'll put those black background charts up on our screen here momentarily, just so you can see those. There's no additional information. It's clear to see the profile levels, absolutely. So you've got the bullish-structured on the daily, bullish-structured on the weekly. And so that's the bastion of hope with regard to sports, 1815 to 1845. So George, thanks for the request. And that was George on the go in Massachusetts. I hope that that helped you out. Next question coming in from Mimi. And Mimi wants to take a look at ERF. So since we are on the black background charts, let's get over to our three-time frames out here, ERF. Let's go see what in the heck that is, even. And let me try to get to my other set of tools out here. That is Enter Plus Corporation, ERF. And the question is, please take a look at it for going long, and specifically the profiles. So you're trading above. I take that, yes, you are. So the profiles here, Mimi, on a daily timeframe, the center is also the bottom. So that's your real strong level of support. That's $11.83. But price is trading above the top of the profile. That's at $12.58. Price is above the top of the weekly profile, $11.53. Price is above the top of the monthly profile, which is $12.82, or $12.97. So that's all you wanted. Then there you go. There you go. Now let's just actually go take a look at the white background charts for Mimi. See if there's anything here that we need to make her aware of. And on the monthly chart, you have a confirmed TD9 count top. But with price just above the top of that profile, it's a neutral signal. The weekly timeframe has a confirmed rosement to indicator signal. Price, again, is above the top of the weekly profile. It's a neutral signal. The daily timeframe has a TD9 count top out here, but price is above the top of its profile, green oscillator, and change line. That is a real neutral signal out there. So everything looks pretty good. If you're still in this position, I don't necessarily have reasons to tell you to jettison the position at all. If you were to see a close below $12.58, that would then be a signal of price moving into the $11.62 to $11.83 level out there. So Mimi, I hope that is all the information that you requested. If not, go ahead and write back. We'll be happy to get that information for you. Let me see here. Inside the Tiger's Den, there was a question to take a look at. CODA. AMLP. So let's get that fired up here. AMLP. See what that is. Been long for a couple of years. We'd like to add more. Where would be a good place to add? Okay. So excellent question. So we just got to wait here, CODA, for these charts to populate. AMLP. But I get that going on my other set of screens out here. And that is for the Illyrian MLP ETF. Don't even have a clue as to what that is. But what we can say is that price right now is consolidated with inside its weekly profile. And it's a new profile, CODA, that gives you support at $38.88. $36.80, I should say. Pipeline. Thank you. $36.88 and $40.22. So that is your real range. It's above the top of the daily, above the top of the monthly profile. So to a certain extent, that is a bullish signal. On the monthly chart, you're actually trading above a TD-9 count pattern. So longer term, so I see what you're saying, longer term, this wants to get to $50.85. You do have a confirmed wave number seven letter G, a confirmed rogement and indicator signal. What price is consolidated inside that weekly profile? So we've got to go with neutral. That weekly says a potential place to add to a position would have been last week at the bottom of that profile, $36.88. So that would be one level for you to consider. If you take a look at the daily timeframe chart out here, rogement and indicator signal, price pulls back towards its breakout level, forms a hammer candle, but there's also a gap to the downside. So it means we're really kind of confusing, confused. Is that a bullish signal, a bearish signal? It's really both out here. But what we do know is that price above the top of the profile, that's bullish, it's above the greenhouse center and change line, that's bullish. But because of the top, it's really neutral. So now it could be the top of that profile is an area for you to add, $39.14. So the areas that the daily would give you would be $37.69, $38.17, or in between that area, and then $39.14, the top of the profile that's been tested the last couple of days. Let's take a quick peek out here and see if there's any additional information that is of value to CODA. You know, I don't have a real reason as to why price moved lower. And on the 30-minute chart, in other words, no topping pattern. Maybe there's native equal seeding, but what price did was it pulled back and it test that breakout level CODA, $39.09. So again, those are the areas to consider adding to your breakout level. I would say a 30-minute chart is always good to use. Then you've got your daily levels, your profile areas out there. And the weekly is the bottom of the profile. So we're going to stick with the $36.88 level right now. See your roads with TF&N. We get back through the spring.

So we've got the charts for Apple up on our monitor here. This is for flip inside the Tigers Den. So it's really the daily chart flip that I'm focused on. If we open this chart up here, here's what we know. We know that Apple completed a Gartley buy pattern, a buy the deep point. It was a perfect A to B equal CD that was completed with this bullish hammer candle. And actually it was even completed before that with a bullish three river morning star. So at the breakout level of 154.46 flip, we know for sure with certainty that buyers are trying to hold this level. What has transpired in the last few days is you've gotten a new profile. It's a bear structured profile. And right now price is testing support. Support is where the bottom of the profile is. That's where the buyers are lined up. That's at 157 even Stephen. So they're trying to hold this. If in fact 157 holds, all we have is a bit of a consolidation with inside its daily profile between 157 even Stephen and 168.30. Price is testing that hammer candle. That is the swing point, is a swing point out there. The other swing point takes all the way back to that March 14th level. The price is not down there. And so it's testing this hammer candle. That hammer candle had 123 million shares that traded on that day. And right now you're at 71 million. So at 71 million, you've got about two hours to go in the trading session. So it sounds like mathematically speaking, it appears that Apple is testing that swing point on lighter volume. So the real rejection for Apple today would not be just closing above 157 even Stephen. It would be closing above the top of that hammer candle. The top of that hammer candle is 153.27. If you close above that, you'll have a rejection potentially of a swing point on lighter volume where you've already got to confirm by the D point. And that says the volatility continues and Apple tries to make its way back to 165 to 168. That's the message from the daily timeframe. If we take a look at the weekly timeframe out here, I don't have anything to change what we just took a look at. Other than this could be week number two below the bottom of its weekly profile. And then could signal, could signal a move to 143.16. In order for that to happen, and this is the cool thing flip, is the A to B equal CD pattern has to fail. The price has to close below that hammer candle from four days ago. Is there anything else out here that Stevie sees that's worthwhile for us to look at? There's not anything else that I see on these charts here for Apple to assist us. So flip, I hope that helps you out with regard to Apple. It'll be an interesting close that will help to assist you with regard to what its intent is. The next question was to, I'm going to switch the screen. Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'll leave that screen up and I'll go here. This question came in from the Tiger's Den and it was posted earlier. I wrote it down. Thankfully I wrote it down. Just remembered that I'd written it down. It's ticker symbol C-W-H. And C-W-H is Camping World. And Camping World. So here I can't, I've got multi-timeframes out here but we've got to do them one at a time. So Camping World has what? Lord knows. An A to B equal CD pattern. So it has a buy the D point. It has a buy the daily profile. Camping World should go target $33.90. That's what the daily charters communicate into you and I. What's the week? Oops, sorry about that. Stevie needs to remember exactly where he's at. Go down to the bottom left, Stevie, not up or right. Weekly chart for Camping World, TD9 count bottom. That form last week, price is above its oscillator and change line. Back inside its profile, you'd like to see this stay above those levels. So 2812 is the area you're looking for price to close above. That's going to suggest to run up to $33.30. So you've got a bottom on the daily, bottom on the weekly inside of Camping World. What do we have on the monthly chart? Well, we don't have a bottom pattern with the accession. We have price pulling back to its bullish structured monthly profile. And that is a key support area 2526. So if you're asking is Camping World a buy? Well, it most certainly is a buy. The question is, is there any kind of retracement? Maybe that you can look into. So the 30 minute chart out here shows us below profiles and below the oscillator and change line with no pattern. Could be an A to B equal CD to the downside. That would form out there. Don't know for sure, but that would be an area to consider taking a long position. Not seeing anything different on the 60 minute chart. The one 20 minute chart out here has a TD9 count top. So this says watch 2864. 2864, price gets below that then your buy range is between 2736 and 2830. So Camping World looks pretty good. Looks like you're going to get a gift of a retracement. The question is just trying to find the pattern where that retracement completes for you to enter that position. So I hope that helps you out. And thanks so much for writing in. Let's go to, I'm not sure who we have on the line, but I know that there is somebody on the line. So can you introduce yourself? Hello, this is Mike from Portugal. Oh, hey, Mike, how you doing? Okay, I didn't know if I was up next to that. Yeah, hey, SMH looks like it's going to compare to yesterday versus the NQ, which looks like we've made it lower row. So hopefully that's a good sign. So what the SMH is, so the SMH has that nice three drive to a bottom pattern out here folks. And the chart here, if you take a look at those little yellow, I'm not sure the distance markers out here. The first drive took place on January 28th. The second drive took place on March 14th and the third drive took place on April 26th. What you were looking for there on April 26th was some type of bottom signal. What we got was that three river morning star. So that's a beautiful thing. And right now price just consolidating inside that daily profile. I'm Mike, charts not showing. Oh, son of a gun. Sorry about that. So sorry to have you call from Portugal. And then me to show away and tell you what it's doing and then not show you the screen. But now we've got the screen here. And so there's your three drive to a top bottom pattern and price just consolidating inside that profile. Now the swing point that it's really trying to contend with and it hasn't gotten down. There was from April 27th. There was seven point four million shares and you're exactly correct. It's pulling back with light volume, only four million shares. So, you know, I don't see anything here on the daily chart to suggest anything other than it's just that you've got the bottom signal. It's in a consolidation pattern with inside its profiles. And if it did close below 228.55, that would then signal, Mike, that we're looking at 20292 as its next price projection area out here. That's not the message right now, but that certainly is something to be watching for today and tomorrow. What information can I provide to you on the SMHs? No, that's all good. I was just pointing out it looked to me like that might be a positive indicator going along with your 60 minute T09 count. On the four indices that could give us a right light towards higher prices, a rebound at least on a temporary basis to reshort. Excellent. So, the interesting thing, yeah. So, the interesting thing on the reshort idea, I'm going to just change the screens here. So, I don't know if you caught the opening or not, but here what we've got are the 60 minute time frame charts for the ESNQ, Dow and Russell 2000. Mike, each of them have T9 count bottoms. So, I think you had mentioned the 60 minute chart. So, yeah, you were listening. But the question is, is the reshort area on the ES between 41.58 and 41.74? Was the reshort area 12.950 on the NQ? Is it between 33.035 and 33.145 on the Dow? And is it between 1876 and 1884 in the Russell? And if the answer to those questions were, yeah, those were where the countertrend rallies end, then we're going to see lower lows out here. But the cool thing is, because we've got those T9 counts on the 60 minute chart, if those patterns fail, that helps answer our question. Hey, Mike, hold on through this break. We'll come back to you.

We're on the line with Mike in Portugal and let me just give you the figures here, Mike. And that's this. If the ESMini were to close below $41.1475, that's going to signal and move down to $40.69. If price were to close below the NQ of $12.796.50, $12.766 is its target. $32.728 is the key level on the Dow. We'll close below that, $32.450. The Russell 2018-5010, we'll close below that, we're off to $18.4140. So we're sort of in a zone where I'm not really sure what the market's intentions are. You've got, as you pointed out, light bulb you pull back inside the SMHs. That's a positive. And you've got these TD9 count patterns under 60-minute chart. Right now we just have to kind of wait and see. Any questions about what I've provided the information I've provided to you so far? No, and I want to thank you and also Brent from California and John from Philadelphia and Garry and all the other people who contribute. They do a great job. They all have great contributions and things to say, and I enjoy listening. Thank you. Well, you're welcome. Thank you for saying that. And so everyone wants to know. So what's it like in Portugal? You moved there from Sarasota. So this used to be Mike from Sarasota. Been in Portugal now for how long? Since January. Since January. And what's your take? My joke is that it's less expensive to live. I'm taking advantage of the drop in the Euro and enjoying the Euro analysis and US dollar analysis you do as well. I'm doing a lot of hiking in the morning. So I get out and get exercise, get sunshine in the morning, and then at 2.30 p.m. all the time, the US markets open. And I sit down and have some lunch and watch the opening. It's a great routine. Well, that sounds like a wonderful life and it seems to me like, so the Euro is kind of at this precipice here. But over time, hold on to those good old US dollars. It's going to be even cheaper for you over there. But right now I think the Euro is sitting at a level of a key level of support. We'll see if it's able to fend that area off. So Mike, thanks so much for calling in. Good to speak to you. And hopefully we'll hear from you again. That is Mike in Portugal, formerly of Sarasota. Folks, stay tuned. Your favorite polar bear, David whites up next. After that, Tom O'Brien, he'll take us on home. And I'll be back with you tomorrow. Sharp, early 8 a.m. sharp out there. Please listen in if you can. Take care. Have a great day.


Hello, and welcome to my Eurocrypt 2020 talk on how to extract useful randomness from unreliable sources. My name is João, I'm a third year PhD student at Imperial College, and this is joint work with Divesh Agarwal and Machio Bremsky at CQT at the National University of Singapore, Luisa Siniskalki, who's now at Oro University, and Ivan Visconti from the University of Salerno. So there's a fundamental connection between randomness and cryptography and also many other aspects of computer science. And a lot of tasks fundamentally require randomness in order to be realized. Additionally, a lot of these tasks also require access to a stream of perfectly random or uniformly random bits. But this is not very realistic because in practice sources of randomness are not perfect. For example, they may introduce correlations between different output bits, or the bits themselves may not be uniformly distributed. So how do we model such weak sources? Well, a well-known and very well-studied way of doing this is just by assuming a lower bound on the minentropy of the source, which is a much more relaxed assumption. So we may say that a weak source has k bits of minentropy for some k, and this means that the probability of any outcome of the source is upper bounded by 2 to the minus k. So for example, if we're dealing with, say, n-bit strings, then if k equals n, this means we're working only with the uniform distribution, but if k is much smaller than n, then this is a much more relaxed assumption on the structure of the source. And so now that we have this model for weak sources, a basic and very important question we can ask is whether we can extract some perfect randomness from an arbitrary weak source. Or in other words, can we design a deterministic function, an extractor x, that takes as input an arbitrary weak source with k bits of minentropy and outputs something that is statistically close to uniform. It's very easy to see that this is impossible to achieve, and so we need to take into account alternative settings for randomness extraction. And one of the most well-studied settings is what I call here the multisource setting, where we have access to several independent weak sources, which you may think are sampled from different devices at different locations. And this setting will be the main focus of this talk. So here's the multisource setting again. We have here l independent weak sources each with k bits of minentropy. And if we accept this model, then we're implicitly trusting the sampling processes that were used to generate each of these weak sources. And this is especially critical when we're dealing with public or shared randomness, as is often the case in cryptography. So the starting point for this work is the question of what happens or what can we still achieve if some of these sources are corrupted by an adversary. And note that in this case we lose the guarantee of independence and we also lose the general lower bound on the minentropy because sources that are adversarily corrupted may even have zero bits of minentropy. So what we'll see for the rest of the talk is at first we're going to see how to model this adversarial setting, and then we're going to discuss randomness extraction. So the way we model this adversarial multisource setting is through what we call shallow sources, and shallow stands for somewhere honest and tropic look ahead. So a shallow source is composed of l weak sources, which we'll call blocks to avoid confusion, and for starters we may assume that these blocks are all independent and have k bits of minentropy.  So for example here the adversary could corrupt x2 and xl. So t stands also for the number of honest or uncorrupted blocks in the shallow source. Now when an adversary corrupts a block he has full control over it and he can set its value to be anything. And on top of that there's a sampling order on the shallow source. So sampling goes from x1 to xl, which means that the adversary can fix the value of a corrupted block arbitrarily based on the previous samples. So in this case for example we sample first from x1 and then x2 is controlled by the adversary so we can set it to be an arbitrary value based on x1. And then we sample from x3 and so on until we get to the last block which is again controlled by the adversary and so the adversary can set the value of the block to be an arbitrary function of all the previous samples. And the outcome of this process will be the output of the shallow source. Now I'd like to stress that throughout this whole process the adversary knows the positions and the distributions of the t honest blocks and that these blocks are all independent of each other and they have k bits of minetropy. Also I'd like to say that although we motivate this with multi-source extraction the model for shallow sources is also a very natural model for randomness extraction from the blockchain. And before we proceed I'd just like to mention that shallow sources fit very naturally into the long line of research on adversarial source models which started off with seminal works on Santa Vasirani sources or bit fixing sources and which has seen also some renewed interest with many recent papers including another paper at Eurogroup. The shallow source model and the type of results we obtain are incomparable to the works I referenced here so for the rest of the talk I'll show you what kind of new perspectives we bring to this topic. So the most basic question we can ask about shallow sources is whether we can extract perfect randomness from them like we could in the analogous non-adversarial setting. So here we're going to look at the regime where we have a constant fraction of adversarial corruptions and a number of shallow blocks is larger than some fixed constant. And in this case the answer turns out to be no we cannot extract perfect randomness and the way we can see this at a high level is by relating the impossibility of extraction for shallow sources to the impossibility of extraction for so-called perisatable sources which were also introduced recently. In turn the impossibility result for perisatable sources goes all the way back to the impossibility result for a special subset of Santa Vasirani sources and this impossibility result is quite strong in the sense that it holds even when the blocks of a shallow source are perfectly uniform. So this negative answer lives in an interesting state of affairs and what we do is we're going to change the question and instead of asking whether we can extract perfect randomness we're going to ask whether we can extract some sort of useful randomness from shallow sources and by useful here I mean randomness that can still be used to run a lot of applications. What we'll see is that the answer is yes because now we'll focus on the next best thing after uniform randomness which are summer random sources and a summer random source is composed by several blocks as I hear L prime blocks and the only guarantee we have is that there's a subset of T prime good blocks in the sense that the joint distribution of these T prime good blocks is perfectly uniform while the blocks outside this subset may be arbitrarily correlated with the good blocks. So for technical reasons we'll be working mostly with convex combinations of summer random sources which we'll call these convex SR sources but this doesn't hurt us because essentially any application that works well with an arbitrary summer random source will also work well with an arbitrary convex combination of summer random sources. So for the rest of the talk we'll show that first summer random sources are really useful I'll show you some concrete applications and second I'll show you that starting with a shallow source with very bad parameters we can extract great summer random sources so we can run a lot of applications starting with shallow sources. Okay, so let us start with the applications which will also allow us to better understand which parameters of a summer random source are particularly important. So the most basic application of summer random sources is to the simulation of randomized algorithms with one side there. So as an example we have here a randomized algorithm with one side there for designing a language L. So this algorithm when it receives some X in the language it always outputs yes which means it's always correct but when X is not in the language then the algorithm may be incorrect with probability one third. Now in general this property is only guaranteed under uniform randomness so maybe if we give a weak source to the randomized algorithm then if X is not in the language this algorithm will always be incorrect with defective randomness. However there's a very simple way of modifying this algorithm so that even if we don't give it uniform randomness but we give it a summer random source then it will still be a one side there algorithm for deciding this language. And the way this works is very simple. So we have here our summer random source and we're just going to run the original algorithm several times. So first we run it on input X using the randomness from the first block of the summer random source. Then we do the same but now using the randomness from the second block of the summer random source and so on until we reach the end and we run it through all the blocks. Now we have a bunch of outputs from the original algorithm and the way we decide on our final output is simple we just output yes if and only if all the runs of the algorithm output yes. It's very easy to see that this is also a one side there algorithm for deciding the language L and essentially this is because we're guaranteed that one of the blocks in the summer random source will be uniformly distributed and for that particular block the algorithm will behave correctly on input X and that's all we need. So in order to understand which parameters are important let us look at the runtime of this modified algorithm. Well if the original algorithm runs in time Ta the new algorithm will run in time L prime times Ta. Well L prime is the number of blocks in the summer random source. So given this it's fairly natural when we want to extract summer random sources we want to extract them but minimizing the number of blocks in the resulting summer random source and at the same time we want to maximize the number of bits in each block of the summer random source and this is because we would then have more random bits to feed into an algorithm or an application in case it needs it. Okay so I'm just going to briefly mention that we can take this one side of our idea further and we can apply it to cryptography and in our paper we use this idea to design non-iterative primitives that work with the summer random source as a CRS as opposed to a perfectly uniform CRS. So in particular from generic assumptions we construct non-interactive witness and distinguishable proof systems and non-interactive commitment and there's also another work where publicly verifiable proof systems are also discussed in the same setting. So as we can see there are a lot of applications of summer random sources. So now that we've seen these applications we can dig deeper into this summer extraction from shallow sources or extraction from shallow sources. The goal here is to design a deterministic function X which we call a summer extractor that takes as input an arbitrary shallow source with given parameters and such that its output will be statistically close to a convex combination of summer random sources. So based on what we've seen before we have a good idea of which parameters we're interested in. So for example we want to minimize the number of output blocks L' which is a number of blocks in the resulting summer random source we want to minimize the statistical error because this is important especially for cryptographic applications and at the same time we want to maximize the output block length M which is the number of bits in each block of the resulting summer random source. So we're going to start with a naive construction so one way of designing a summer extractor is just to take any two source extractor and apply it to every pair of blocks of a shallow source. The reason why this works is that as long as we have two honest blocks in the shallow source then the output of the extractor on these two honest blocks will be close to uniform and this is enough to get us something close to a summer random source. However there are some downsides to this naive construction. The first one is that the number of blocks in the resulting summer random source is quadratic in the number of blocks of the shallow source and second we can only get negligible error which is useful for cryptography when the min entropy of the honest shallow blocks is very large. So natural question can we do better than this and the answer is that yes we can do much better and I'm going to present this to you right now. So here's our new summer extractor for shallow sources. I'm going to present it to you in the high entropy setting so honest blocks of a shallow source now have very high entropy and let's say that we have here these five blocks, two of them are corrupted by an adversary and now instead of using any two source extractor we're going to use a very special object which is an unbalanced two source extractor which has a property that the left source can have low entropy while the right source must have high entropy. There's a beautiful construction of this object by Ras but we can also construct them from strong seeded extractors. So the way our approach works is through a kind of a sliding window technique. So starting with the first output block we just look at the first two shallow blocks and we take the first shallow block as the left source of the unbalanced extractor and the second shallow block as the right source of the unbalanced extractor and then for the second output block we just slide the window which means that now we take the first two shallow blocks as the left source of the unbalanced extractor and the third shallow block as the right source of the unbalanced extractor and we can keep going in this fashion and get the next two output blocks and what I claim here is that the blocks which have the output blocks of the unbalanced right sources are jointly uniformly distributed or in other words I claim that Y2 and Y4 are jointly close to uniform because they have Y2 as X3 as its right source and Y4 as X5 as its right source and they're both honest. So let's see why Y2 is close to uniform. Well the argument is not very complicated we just look at the left source and note that it contains enough min entropy X1 is honest and second X3 by the properties of the shallow source X3 is independent of the previous sources and it has high min entropy. Now we want to see that Y2 and Y4 are jointly close to uniform and this is also simple we can consider an arbitrary fixing of Y2 and show that with high probability over this fixing then Y4 is going to be close to uniform. Again we follow the same type of argument so we look at the left source and note that it still contains enough min entropy even when you condition on all the previous output blocks and if you look at this right source X5 well again by the properties of the shallow source because the adversary behaves in an online way X5 will be independent of all the previous blocks and it will have high min entropy which means that we're done. So we can extrapolate this to the general setting and what we get is an output that is statistically close to a convex combination of some random sources with very good parameters. So for example the number of blocks of the resulting some random source is now linear in the number of shallow blocks while in the naive construction it was at least quadratic. The number of good blocks in the some random source which is useful for success probability amplification for example when you saw these algorithms before is only one less than the number of honest blocks in the shallow source which means that this construction gives a useful some random source even when there are only two honest blocks in the shallow source and besides that the statistical error and the output block lengths of our some more extractor are essentially the best we can hope for. Now the some more extractor we just saw as great parameters but it has the downside that it really only works if the honest blocks of the shallow source have very high mean entropy. However the good news is that we can modify this construction in order for it to work also for low entropy shallow sources in other words shallow sources where the honest blocks have mean entropy delta times n for delta an arbitrarily small constant and I won't give details but the rough idea is that we can combine this high entropy construction with so called some more condensers which are relaxations of some more extractors which actually work for arbitrary weak sources and which have been well studied in the literature actually there are several beautiful constructions with great parameters and the idea is that we first take the shallow blocks we run them through some more condensers and then we apply similar ideas to what we saw in the previous slide and the outcome is that we get essentially the same parameters except we get an extra few constants depending on delta but the important thing here now is that we handle low entropy shallow sources and this is a huge improvement over the naive some more extractor. Now to finalize this talk I just want to discuss with you one lasting possibility result. So the previous some more extractors we saw exploit the structure of shallow sources in a very fundamental way so natural question is whether we can still extract useful some more random sources without exploiting the structure or in other words can we extract useful some more random sources if we just treat a shallow source as an arbitrary weak source with comparable length and comparable entropy. In this case there is one naive some more extractor which is obtained as follows just take any strong seeded extractor and apply it to X where you take you treat X as an arbitrary weak source with sufficient entropy and you get one block for each value of the seed. Now the outcome of the some more extractor will be statistically close to a some random source but the downside is that extractor lower bounds imply that whatever the extractor you use here if you want negligible statistical error then you need a super polynomial number of blocks in the some random source and this means that this some more random source cannot be used in efficient application so it's not a useful some more random source. Of course this is a very specific some more extractor for weak sources so now the question is can we do better for weak sources and it turns out that the answer is no so for example one of the results we prove is that any some more extractor for arbitrary weak sources with comparable length and entropy to shallow sources basically requires a super polynomial number of output blocks or number of resulting blocks in the some more random source if you want negligible statistical error which we do for cryptographic applications and if the output block length of the some more extractor isn't extremely small what this means is that we cannot extract useful some more random sources from arbitrary weak sources the way the proof goes is that we relate some more extractors for weak sources to so-called randomness dispersers for which you know very good lower bounds and then we just translate these lower bounds to the some more extraction setting I'd like to mention that although we present only the result here we actually in the paper have results impossibility results that apply to even weaker notions of some more extraction from weak sources which means we have a very strong separation between some more extraction from shallow sources and some more extraction from comparable weak sources now to finalize I'd just like to leave here one interesting open problem so the result we present here only gives something interesting when M isn't very small but it would be interesting to prove an analogous result even when the output block length of the some more extractor is extremely small like say M equals 1 bit we have some partial results about this in the paper and in the follow-up work but we still haven't gotten to the general case okay so we've got to the end of the talk so let me just sum up what we saw well first we saw that shallow sources are a natural model for an adversarial multi-source setting and although we cannot extract perfect randomness from shallow sources we can extract some random sources with great parameters even when we have a shallow source with very bad parameters like for example it only has 2 honest blocks we also saw that some random sources are extremely useful for algorithms and for cryptography and we also saw that we really need to exploit the structure of shallow sources to extract useful some random sources that's all from me thanks for watching and bye-bye


Austin and Biosas State, the elders and leaders of the Aqaba community of Yonahua local government area are calling on President Balatina to cushion the effect of the present hardship, seeing that it is biting hard on them. The medical, when a concerned indigent of the community, James Torettine, donated cash palliatives to the elderly in the community to assist them during this period. There have never been any persons come to Aqaba community to see the problem of the community and try to see how they can be relieved from their problem. I am pleading with the government that whatsoever is in position to do everything possible to assist the people of Biosas. And only for television, we see all these things. Now for they do with the hearer, we see people, they talk to people, they come, they feed them. We will never see anything here. God will come bring these boys and make them feed us. God will continue their blessing, open his way. Sometimes I used to hear that people bring rise to this town, but other people will not see. They will go inside their houses and share them. But this is a different something. So I feel God that brought him to us will see complete his assignment for him. Anything he wants, God should fulfill. Meanwhile, James Dorotine said he was moved to tender support due to the high cost of living. Inspired me or what you're seeing here today is due to the the increments of the dollar rate in this in the country that is affecting every area of life. You can see that Garida we're buying 600, 700 have inflated increased to 2000 something. A cost out of rise that we do buy is about 7000 to 8000 Naira. And I came to my community, my father's town and find out that my mothers, most of them cannot even afford money or do these things. So I said, let me come to see my people, my father, mostly the widows, the old mothers and the fathers of my community all to see I cannot be of assistance to them. So what you're seeing is a little talking from me and you can see all of them happy. All the mothers that cannot even come outside, they came out with walking stick just to receive this. And after now the next Saturday I'm coming out with my medical team to come and check their BP, to check their blood pressure and the sugar content and malaria to see how they can give them drugs so that they can be strong to go to their farm.

Pornography isn't just about lust. Think about it, it's easy to be lonely in our culture to walk through life without real connection, without maybe even one really close friend. And if you don't feel your life is going in a particularly significant direction, then why wouldn't you just settle for immediate gratification? Well, the answer to that is because it's against God's design for sexuality, but what are we to do? Do we just shame people to say you need to do better? No, we need to meet people where they're at. We need to fill in the gaps. We need to point people to real purpose and real hope and real connection in Christ. Porn is ultimately a lie. It promises connection and it promises to make you feel less lonely. It makes you feel alive, but it leads you to death, both internally now and eternally. It's a darkness that we've grown so used to and become so comfortable with. But the scripture called Jesus the light of the world that he has come to make us alive again. To deliver us from sin and this cheap substitute of sexuality.


Okay so let's quickly, now we'll have a quick look at the weapons first, hard light, zealot and red death, got all three of them in my vault, fourth horseman I have no interest in, patience and time though to be honest I haven't actually got one, I've got one obviously can pull it out of my blue pinch vault or my blue pinch chaos if I want to, but I haven't actually got one in my vault or nothing, neither have I got a telesto or a hereafter so that's not too bad, I may just use these for infusion material though and I got three truths and I wonder Lord what is going on game, what is going on, let's quickly take a look at cloak because that looked like just a rag, I mean what look what is this, what is this, I'm getting tea bags I can hear it, oh yeah I'm getting tea bagged, let's quickly check out the armors, okay so okay so my skyburner's annex offers a max of 105, it's 108 or above to be tier 12 compatible, but I mean I ain't got this shit, I mean obviously I can put it on my blue pinch chaos if I want to, but I really need it and then we've got this here which offers 98 intellect which is pretty bad and to be honest I don't think a regular once used the actual helmet, it's just useless it really is, okay gauntlets, I've got two phagomizers, one offering 88 intellect gauntlets have to be 96 or higher and the other one offering 83, so they're pretty bad, this one here offers 91 so that's five below par and it's discipline strength anyway so that ain't good either, legs need to be 132 or higher, this is not quite there, we've got 130 I'd say, yeah 130 right there so it's too off, not too bad, I think they might be better than the ones I've already got, yes they are, they're much better than the ones I've already got, but yeah I might keep them actually, then again the discipline strength I don't think I will be keeping them, I don't think I will and my bones offer, so they are for 125 and so that's still seven below what I need for tier 12 but they're not even as good as the ones I've already got, intellect strength, intellect discipline, so yet they will be infusion material unfortunately, chest pieces I've got the heart of toxic fire, chest need to be 144 or above, this is a 126 discipline roll what the fuck, we then got the lucky raspberry, so that is max of 137 so that is still a good 7 off, 144 so it needs to be 144 or higher for tier 12 compatibility so they ain't either and then we've got this which is 123 discipline damn, at least I got infusion material but to be honest I don't think I've got armors that need to be done again yes I have, I've got a few here but yes I think that is all I got, yes indeed it is, now we do have some packages to open let's see what we get, you know what I want actually, I want either the Vex ornament or the no lambion ornament, I'll be a happy man, I ain't gonna get them out of three packages, I ain't just gonna, undiscovered country, what is that for, yes, yes, fuck yes, no lambion, motherfucking ornament, now all I need is the Vex, jazz hands, jazz hands really, see what else we've got and I got so what the fuck is this bullshit, maybe something good in here, silver dust you know that's ridiculous, an emote, bring it on ain't that the rucks, no it's the ruck or Bruce Lee, yeah, I think I've already got this shit, it's crazy, but guys that is it for another ingram and package opening video, finally got my no lambion ornament, loving that I really am but thanks as always for stopping by, if you enjoyed the video hitting that like button is much much appreciated on my behalf, remember subscribe for daily destiny videos, hit that bell button, next that subscribe button to turn on the notifications so you never miss a video and I will as always guys catch you on that next one

Hello and welcome to the session. In this session, we'll discuss how statistics can be used to make inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population. First of all, we'll understand the meaning of sample, population, statistics, parameters and inferences. Consider this example. A factory produces 5000 bulbs per day. The owner randomly selects 150 bulbs from these 5000 bulbs to check how many are defective. Now we see that all the 5000 bulbs produced in the factory form the population. These 150 bulbs randomly selected from the entire population represent the sample of the population. Statistic is the measure that describes the characteristic of a sample. Here the statistic is the number of defective bulbs in the sample of 150 bulbs. The statistic of a sample are used to draw conclusions about entire population and these are called statistical inferences. Here from the statistic of number of defective bulbs in the sample will help us to conclude or estimate the number of defective bulbs in the entire population. The value which is estimated from the sample will be the parameter. Thus we have the following definitions. First we have population and we define population as the entire collection of all the data of interest. It can be finite or infinite. Next we have sample which is defined as a subset of the population which is selected randomly from the population. Then we have statistic which is defined as a measurement describing the characteristic of the sample. It may vary from sample to sample. Next we have parameter which is defined as a measurement describing the characteristic of the population. It never varies and represents the entire population. And lastly we have statistical inference and statistical inference is when we draw conclusion about the population parameters using statistics of the sample. Let us consider an example. Astronomers typically determine the distance to a galaxy by measuring the distance to just a few stars within it and taking the mean of these distance measurements. Now we need to identify the population, sample, statistic and population parameter. As we know that the entire collection of all the data of interest constitute the population. So here population will be all stars in the galaxy. As sample is the subset of the population which is selected randomly from the population. So here stars selected for measurement will be the sample. Here statistics will be mean of the distance measurements. We know that statistic is a measurement describing the characteristic of the sample. It may vary from sample to sample. So here statistics will be equal to mean of distance between stars in sample and the earth. Next we shall find population parameter and we know that parameter is a measurement describing the characteristic of the population which never varies and represents the entire population. So here population parameter will be equal to mean of distance between all these stars and the earth. And now we are going to discuss types of parameters. There may be many types of parameters but we will discuss two types of parameters. First is population mean and second is population standard deviation. Population mean is denoted by mu and population standard deviation is denoted by sigma. Similarly we have sample statistics which is given by sample mean and is denoted by x bar and sample standard deviation is denoted by s. Thus we can say that sample mean helps in estimating population mean that is mu and sample standard deviation helps in estimating population standard deviation that is sigma. Let us now discuss how to draw inferences about population parameters. Here we discuss how to estimate population parameter in a single value. For example if we found that average number of defective bulbs in the sample of 150 bulbs is 14. Its sample mean that is x bar is equal to 14. So we can estimate the percentage of defective bulbs that is 14 upon 150 into 100 which is equal to 9.3% of the bulbs and we can say that 9.3% of the bulbs will be defective in the population and we should note that the estimate from the sample is not likely to be equal to the exact value for the population. So in this session we have learnt that how statistics can be used to make inferences about the population parameters based on a random sample from that population. This completes our session. Hope you enjoyed this session.
