Hello everyone, welcome to Options with Doug, streaming live daily on Bookmap Discord and the Bookmap YouTube channel at 1.30pm Eastern Time. Before I get started, I need to go through the Disclosures.

Risk Disclosure, trading futures, equities and options involve substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Here's my contact information. The best way to get in touch with me is through Discord. My name on Discord is Doug P. Also in Bookmap Discord, there's an options-doug-chat channel. That's a great place to post questions, comments and content related to the topics in my presentation and the topics of the channel that I'll go through in just a moment. Note that Bookmap Discord is free and available to everyone. There are a wide variety of topics there. Multiple asset classes, options, stocks, futures, crypto and a variety of languages. A lot of very active traders all trying to help each other become better traders. It's a great community and again it's free and available to everyone. I'm also on X, formerly known as Twitter. My name there is at Doug P. The focus of my presentation today and the focus of the options-doug-chat channel is options, order flow, the impact of options markets on stocks and futures and the influence of market maker hedging flow on price action. I have a two-step process for trading and the first is planning and I use positional analysis. I look at how traders and market makers are positioned in the options market and how those positions change from day to day to develop a thesis regarding the expected trading range and volatility for the day as well as the directional bias. And the second step in my process is execution. I look at real-time order flow and book map and real-time market maker hedging flow and spot gamma hero to confirm my thesis and for setups for entries and exits. And when I talk about setups today, I will be focusing on an underlying asset. And setups in that asset can be taken any number of ways. For example, the SB500 setups can be taken with ES futures, spy shares, spy options, SPX options, or even ES options. Also, generally my focus is on intraday trading, but the setups that I could talk about today could be applied to swing trading as well, depending on your timeframe. Questions and comments are welcome and I will be watching both the options-dug chat channel and Discord as well as the chat and YouTube for your questions and comments. Please feel free to post and I'll do my best to answer your questions. All right, here's my agenda for today, Tuesday, January 30th. First of all, I want to cover news items, economic data, events, and earnings for today as well as the rest of the week. Then I'll go through my positional analysis. Then I'll review some setups from earlier today and then I'll take a look at the live market. And when I get to the live market, if anyone has any stocks they want me to take a look at, please let me know and I'll be glad to do that. All right, let's get started with news items. So there were a couple of data releases this morning. So let's take a look at that first. So at 10 a.m., consumer competence came out and that was better than expected, slightly, and also better than the previous number. And then the jolts, job openings data came out and that was also greater than expected, greater than previous. And let's take a look at the market to see the reaction to the data. So that was at 10 a.m. This is the ES Futures and Bookmap, SMB 500 Futures. And here's the reaction at 10 a.m. Pretty sharply bearish. All right, so that was the data releases this morning. Then after the market closes today, AMD, Google and Microsoft all report earnings. So it could definitely be a big afternoon of earnings. All right, that's today. Then tomorrow the big event of the day, the FOMC announcement and press conference. So the announcement is at 2 p.m. So that will be in the middle of my session tomorrow and we'll switch to the live market and watch the live market at 2 p.m. And let's just take a look at, let's see if I brought it over. Take a quick look at the FedWatch tool. All right, so no change from yesterday. So what this is showing, the current FedFund rate, 525 to 550 basis points. It looks like there's about a 98% chance of no change and then only about a 2% chance of a quarter point basis hike cut. I'm sorry. So looking for no change, 98%. And that's the January meeting. So we'll just focus on the January meeting. All right, so that's the FOMC tomorrow. And then on Thursday there's PMI data out at 10 a.m. And then after the market closes, Apple, Amazon and Meta report earnings. And then Friday the next big data release for the week, Jobs Report at 8.30 a.m. Eastern time, then Michigan Consumer Center Meta at 10 a.m. And that will wrap up the week. So a big week for events, data releases and earnings. All right, let's move on to positional analysis. I'm going to start with the SB500. This is the ES Futures and Bookmap. And before I take a closer look at this chart, I do want to step back and take a look at a larger time frame. And I'm going to look at the underlying index for the SB500, which is SPX. I'm going to start with a one-day chart. This is Thinkorswim showing a one-day chart for SPX. Current rally began last year, October 30th. Toward the end of the year ran into resistance at 4,800. And then a kind of a choppy start to the month until the January 19th options expiration. SPX broke firmly above the 4,800 level and now has tested the 4,900 level and now trading higher. All right, so that is the SPX one-day chart. Uptrend still intact. Let's take a look now at a little bit shorter time frame. This is a 30-day one-hour chart. Here's the 4,800 level resistance. The break above that level on January 19th expiration and resistance at the 4,900 level. And then yesterday the break above it in the afternoon. There was a news release about the Treasury change their barring plans. All right, so headline news. Treasury changing their barring plans, less debt. Treasury yields drop. And now SPX continues to trade above the 4,900 level. All right, let me point out the levels on this chart. I'm going to start with the expected moves. The dash purple line showing the lower and upper weekly expected move. That dash purple line may be difficult to see. It is right at the upper daily expected move. So that is the lower and upper weekly expected move. SPX so far trading within that range. Then the dash blue lines are showing the lower and upper daily expected move. Both of these are based on the options market, the weekly expected move. I update that once a week over the weekend. That's based on the closing price on Friday. And then the lower and upper daily expected move. That I update that every day. That's based on the closing price of the previous day. All right, so SPX is trading within both of those ranges. All right, the dark red lines are showing spot gamma levels. These are proprietary spot gamma levels. They're provided to spot gamma subscribers, showing on a variety of trading platforms. They're basically showing where the gamma weighted open interest is concentrated. I'm going to point out the key daily levels. First of all, here's the put wall. That's at 4500. That's a strike with the largest net negative gamma that can be expected to act as support. That level has remained at 4500 for a while. Then the next level up is the volatility trigger. That's at 4865. That is spot gammas proprietary gamma volatility flip level. Below that level, market makers position on the gamma curve is negative. In a negative gamma environment, market makers have to trade with price to hitch their delta exposure. And above that level, market makers position on the gamma curve is positive. In a positive gamma environment, market makers have to trade against price to hitch their delta exposure. And that tends to subdue or decrease volatility. Note, SBX is trading above that level in a positive gamma environment. In a negative gamma environment, I'm looking for wider training ranges, more trending days, and above that level, I'm looking for a more narrow trading range, range days, mean reverting price action, and a more narrow range, more range days, mean reverting price action. All right, let me get to the next level, which is 5000. And hello, Steven. Welcome. Glad you're here. NC40G, I'll get to your question in just a moment. All right, so the next level up, the key daily levels, is the 5000 level. That is the call wall. That's a strike with the largest net positive gamma that can be expected to act as resistance. Note that level did shift up from yesterday. Yesterday the call wall was at 4950, and the day before it was at 4900. So on Friday at 4900, yesterday, Monday at 4950, and then today at 5000. So that call wall has been moving up. That indicates to me that traders are looking for, expecting, and positioning themselves in the options market for higher prices. And that is bullish with that call wall moving up. That's also the absolute gamma strike. That's the strike with the largest net. That's the strike with the largest absolute positive and negative gamma. So the absolute gamma strike and the call wall, both at 5000. And NC40G, why wasn't that news known before it happened at 2 p.m. central yesterday? I can't answer that. So it was just an announcement that came from Treasury. If you go back and look at a chart, it looks like somebody might have known about it because the market started moving higher right around 2 p.m. eastern time. So 1 p.m. central. So about an hour before the market started to move higher and then just accelerated after that announcement at 3 p.m. eastern time. All right, so those are the levels, the key daily levels. The only shift higher was the call wall up to 5000 now. All right, so that's a one-hour chart. And let's just take a look at one other chart for SPX. So NC40G, this may help to answer your question. This was 2 p.m. eastern time and that I believe this is when the announcement came out at 3 p.m. So the market was already moving higher. This initial move higher up to the, well, that was a different level yesterday. So up above 4900 yesterday. So that's when the breakout occurred starting at 2 p.m. All right, so somebody might have known about that already. All right, so this is the, this is SPX for today in a one-minute chart. The dark portion on the right is showing today. So a bit of consolidation after that big move higher yesterday. Up and down around this 4923 level, that's a combo four level that combines SPX and SPI, gamma weighted open interest into one level here in terms of an SPX price. So very narrow choppy range today for the SP500. All right, let's go to book map now. So in book map I have my own cloud notes. So I can show SPX levels. There's that 4923 level that I just mentioned. I'm also showing SPI levels on this chart. Here's the SPI 490 absolute gamma strike and the SPI 491 large gamma three level that has acted as resistance. And then this is the ES 4950 level. So I have one column of notes. So I can show SPI levels, SPX levels, and also any levels of interest like the expected moves and the big round numbers for ES. All right, note for ES, there's a difference in price between ES and SPX. And today it's ranging somewhere between 25 and 26. And earlier today it was closer to 25. So that's what I'm using now. So for example, this 4920 level, that's SPX 4920. I'm showing at ES 4925. So ES minus SPX is somewhere between 25 and 26. And I'm using 25. Note that I do post those index relationships that I'm using in Discord. For the last couple of days I posted the preliminary numbers and the final numbers. I was a little bit late with the final numbers today, busy trading in the morning. All right, so again very narrow range. And those are the levels in play for today. For SPI, the volatility trigger shifted higher. Put wall shifted lower down to 480. So not significant, not really in play. And then the call wall and absolute gamma strike both shifted higher. So here's the absolute gamma strike for SPI, shifted higher. And then the call wall, just like SPX, also shifted higher up to 495. So according to that, according to spot gamma, there's still room to run. SPX, the SP500 is not overbought until it reaches those call walls. All right, let me check for questions. All right, Cesar says, hello Cesar. Welcome, glad you're here. Was yesterday's squeeze gamma based on book map? There were so many orders added to the ask that showed no reaction and just kept getting bought all afternoon. I'll take a look at that in a few minutes. So let's, we'll focus on today and then if we have time at the end, we can focus on yesterday what happened. I'll have to bring up a couple of older charts. So if I don't have time to do that, during my session today, I will take a grab some charts and post them in Discord. All right, let's take a look at NASDAQ now. All right, here's NASDAQ in QFutures, training in a fairly narrow range in the morning up until about a noon and then made a sharp drop lower. We'll take a closer look at that in a few minutes. So this is in QFutures and book map before I take a closer look at this chart. I do want to take a look at the underlying index products for NASDAQ. First of all, here's QQQ. This is a one-day chart, levels on play. This is the, this combo level. Price was chopping around that level until the 10 p.m., 10 a.m. data release, sharp drop lower. Price could not quite make it back up to that level. This is the 427 level that was in play earlier today. That's the zero gamma level. Also the 426 level acting as support twice. Then some consolidation around that level and then price broke lower and price now trading down to the 425 level. That's a large gamma-3 level and the range of importance of gamma-1 being the most important, 5 being the least important. Those are the QQQ levels in play for today. Let's take a quick look at NDX, the underlying index. The reason I look at QQQ for NASDAQ, it's more important. It's much more liquid, much more options activity in QQQ than NDX, but we'll take a look at NDX just for completeness. No levels in play for today. Just a steady downtrend in NDX. Let's go back to book map here. Just like the ES, I have my own cloud notes. I can show QQQ levels. There's the 427 level. Here's the 425 level that I just mentioned. Note that NQ is trading below its lower daily expected move. That's right around 590. We'll take a look at setups in a few minutes. Before I do that, let me just mention shifts in levels for NASDAQ. For NDX, slight shift lower in the volatility trigger and a pretty significant shift higher in the put wall to 17625. Then for QQQ, the put wall actually shifted lower to 400. A significant shift lower in the put wall to 400 for QQQ. The absolute gamma strike shifted higher for QQQ. Kind of a mixed picture for the NASDAQ. Let's take a look at gamma notional to see how market makers were positioned on the gamma curve at the beginning of the day. The reason I do this, is because of how market makers may react to changes of price, also a sense of the volatility and trading range for the day. So in a positive gamma environment, again I'm looking for more of a range day, trading day, mean reverting price action instead of a trending market. So I'm looking at gamma notional. This is how market makers were positioned on the gamma curve at the beginning of the day for the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and also 2000. Note all these numbers are positive now. They all shifted higher. So gamma notional for SPX and SPY, both positive. So again in a positive gamma environment, market makers are trading against price to hedge to their delta exposure. And also QQQ shifted from negative yesterday to slightly positive today. So much less positive gamma notional for QQQ than also for the Russell 2000, both the RUT and IWM shifted from negative to positive today. All right, so gamma notional for the SP500, more positive, definitely looking for more of a range day in the SP500 and not quite as clear. For the NASDAQ. All right, let's take a look at some setups now. I'm going to skip over the Vana model and a positive gamma environment. There's really nothing to see. All right, so everything that we've talked about so far, other than book map, is based on static data. Updated once a day. Smart gamma takes open interest data. They apply their algorithms to that data. They come up with the levels that we looked at. Gamma notional. And that's what I use for my planning process. Now we're going to move to execution, looking at real-time data. So the first thing I want to take a look at is what options traders are doing today. I'm going to start with the SP500. This chart is the hero chart. Hedging impact real-time options. This is part of Spot Gamma. It's available to Spot Gamma subscribers. What this chart is showing is price for SPX with a white line and the hero signal. Hedging impact real-time options that is showing in the purple line, that's the hero signal. That's showing options trades and market maker hedging activity for a combined signal for the SPX, SPY, XSP, and ES futures. So when traders buy and sell, puts and calls in the SPX and SPY, for example, traders buy and sell, puts and calls, market makers take the opposite side of those trades, and they have to buy and sell futures, ES futures, to hedge their delta exposure. That's the most efficient way for them to hedge options trades in the SP500. Let's zoom in on this chart. So for example, when traders are taking negative delta positions, they're buying puts and or selling calls, that's shown by the following hero line. Market makers are taking the opposite side of that. They have to sell futures to hedge their delta exposure. And then when the hero line is rising, this indicates traders are taking positive delta positions. They're buying calls and or selling puts. And market makers take the opposite side of that and they have to buy futures to hedge their delta exposure. All right, let's take a look at some setups. All right, I'm going to zoom in on this chart. Excuse me. What I'm going to focus on is from 10 to 11. So this, and I was waiting until the data release at 10 a.m. before I did anything. And the way this resolved was definitely bearish from 10 to 11. Hero signal falling. And during that time, I was looking for shorts. So kind of a choppy warning waiting for the data release. And then at the data release, ES dropped sharply lower, pulled back. Good short entry right around 10.10. All right, let's go take a look at book map. Let's go back to ES. Let's zoom in here. All right, so from the open, ES was bullish. The volume dots of book map show market buy minus sell. Magenta dots indicate more sellers than buyers. Green volume dots indicate more buyers than sellers. Buyers come in right at this 49-20 level. Then at the data release, aggressive sellers come in and there was sell stop orders fueling the move lower. Let me zoom out just a little bit here. Data release, start move lower, aggressive sellers, sell stop orders fuel the move lower. That's shown by the falling yellow line, sell stop orders, and price find support at the 49-20 level. And that was the pullback for the long at the open. Note that in the sub-chart here, all these lines falling, cumulative volume delta shown with the pink line and the falling blue line is showing light blue line showing sell iceberg orders. Also shown by the on-chart indicator, large traders using iceberg orders to sell the move higher and then sell stop orders fueling the move lower. All right, so not a lot of range there from right around, let's say 49, 50, 51 down to 45. So not a lot of range. Typical again of a positive gamut environment. Not a lot of movement in the SB 500, but both the hedging flow shown with hero and the order flow shown in book map are pretty clearly bearish during that time. Sorry. If you on YouTube who are sticking with me, thank you very much. I could see the number watching now dropped pretty quickly. Sorry about that. All right, so we're still looking at ES here. Note that the sub-chart to me, this is still looking pretty bearish. CVD moving lower, sell stop orders, and sell iceberg orders, all negative for the day and pretty substantially negative. All right, let's move on to NASDAQ. All right, NASDAQ also looking bearish for the day. CVD moving lower all day. Looks like some large traders have come in with iceberg orders right around 1230, maybe slowing down the move lower. All right, let's zoom in. I'm going to focus on that same 10 to 11 time period. So I thought there were some long opportunities that eventually resolve lower. Let's take a look at HERO. Let's see what options traders are doing. And in the case of NASDAQ, I've been looking at this MAG-7 signal. Let me zoom back out. What this chart is showing is a combined signal for options trades, market maker hedging activity for the stocks known as the MAG-7, Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Tesla. So when traders buy calls in a stock, for example, market makers sell the calls and they have to buy stock to hedge their delta exposure. And just the opposite with puts, when traders buy puts, market makers sell the puts and they have to sell stock to hedge their delta exposure. So this is a combined signal. These stocks make a very large component of the NASDAQ and the SB500. I'm going to zoom in on this morning. So this is in the... Of course, we know what happens later, but just looking at this in the morning, the HERO signal was trending higher, starting about 9.45, dipped down briefly after the data and then started moving higher. And to me, this was an indication to look for long entries and that lasted for maybe 30, 45 minutes, 30, 40 minutes. All right, let's go to BookMap. All right, so during that 40 minutes from 10 to... Oh, 10 to 10.45, looking for longs. All right, let's zoom out now and we'll take a look at the shorts set up. So, note the... Looking at the sub-chart here. CVD rising and large trader selling with iceberg waters. This is not huge size, but the light blue line does fall. And let's go to... Back to HERO. And the HERO signal shifts sharply lower right around 10.40, setting up a short. Back to BookMap. Whoops, setting up a short. Good entry point, right at 427. Trend break there, right at 427. So, really, up and down. A little bit more range than the S&B500. A little bit more... I thought a little bit more tradable, easier to trade. But overall, trending lower. So, if you waited patiently, watch this most of the day or most of the morning. Just wait a patiently good short entries at these trend breaks as NASDAQ was making lower highs. All right, let's go back and take a look at HERO. Zoom out on the day. So, here's that first trend break. 10.40, living in just afternoon as the HERO signal for the MAG-7 reached that, looks like around 400 million positive, and then sharp reversal lower. Let's take a quick look and see what traders have been doing, separate outputs and calls, and that is really driven by calls. That's shown by the orange line, traders buying calls, then they start selling calls. Sorry about that. I hesitate to separate outputs and calls, but you can see the call buyers, the swings in the calls, really driving price. Both these big swings driven by call buyers and call sellers. All right, let's take a look at some stocks and then we'll get to the live market. So, the first stock I want to take a look at is Apple. Zoom in on this just a little bit. Note this floor alert here. Indicating significant options activity just a couple of minutes before the sharp drop lower. So, if you notice that alert got into Apple pretty quickly, here's where that alert came in and price dropped sharply lower just a couple of minutes after that. All right, that's Apple. All right, so again, remember, AMD Google Microsoft report earnings, so let's take a look at those stocks. Here's AMD for the day. Let's take a look at Hero. See what options traders have been doing. Zoom in. Couple floor alerts. Traders take negative delta positions. That starts right around 940. Let's go back to book map. 940. Then the next move lower starts around 1035. Let's go back to Hero. Now, in that case, we're driven by options traders so much. All right, so the initial setup was more short. Zooming out. AMD retest that level. Chops around. And then with the rest of NASDAQ starts moving lower just afternoon after 12 p.m. All right, the next. Google. Now trending lower. Traders taking negative delta positions. Couple of short entries noted by these floor alerts. So overall, again for the day, traders taking negative delta positions. And Google. Let's go take a look at book map. So AMD definitely moving lower for the day. Google also moving lower as traders take negative delta positions. The next is Microsoft. Also bearish on the day. Let's see what options traders are doing. So the notional value for Microsoft. Also negative for the day. But more of a choppy signal for Hero here. Up and down until the sharp drop lower right around 12. All right, IcoJet asked, how do you update or save the new levels every morning on TOS? Spot gamma provides a think script that you have to update manually. So let me show you. Let's go to think or swim. So what I do I take I copy the text of the new think script that's updated every day. Take that in the morning. I'll go to my studies. Search for spot gamma. I open that I edit that and delete everything that's in there and then paste the new script. It takes about a minute. But that is that provides the spot gamma think script every day for all the instruments that I look at. So we've looked at SPX, QQQ, NDX and all of those instruments are included in that one script. And that is available to spot gamma subscribers. And you really don't have to save it. You just here let me show you. Click on edit. So I have copied the new script. So I just select all this I delete it and I paste in the new script. Click apply and that will update the script. So that's all I have to do. So again that takes about a minute. Let's take a look at one other stock see if the dip buyers are still in there in Tesla. They were earlier today. Now Tesla chopping around. Let's go to book map. Take a look at Tesla. And so far Tesla negative for the day. So the S&P 500 still chopping in a range. Let's see what options traders are doing in the S&P 500. So gamma notional I'm sorry this notional value of options trades still mildly positive for the day. So net for the day traders are taking positive delta positions. This is choppy up and down quite a bit mean reverting price action at its best in a positive gamma pre FOMC day. Let's just see what we can take a look at. Next expiry that's shown by the green line there or the teal line. So that's showing options trades that for options that expire today. Note the very strong correlation between the green line and the purple line. The purple line is showing all trades all expirations. That's today tomorrow Friday next week next month all options trades and this the teal line showing options that just expire today. So this is showing that options that expire today are making up the bulk of options that expire making up the bulk of the options trades today. So zero DTE options that expire today making up the bulk of trade today. All right, so that is just add some additional clarity but overall mean reverting options trades leading to mean reverting price action in the SB500. Caesar asked can you get more info from the flow alert to see if it's bullish or bearish. I I started using hero well before the flow alerts came out the flow alerts just add some additional confirmation typically get your to get get your attention they can be confirmation for a move or they can be indicate a mean reverting move so you just have to watch watch hero watch order flow all it really does is signal significant options activity to get your attention. So in this case get your attention for a move floor attention for a move higher attention for a move lower so somewhat mean reverting there that was a little bit early let's see I did not make any notes of alerts in my in my notes here let's just scan through real quick oh yeah I did I forgot about Apple so in this case flow alert very timely flow alert for Apple so when you see that look at hero look at book map decide how you want to trade from that so in this case that was definitely bearish nothing there were a couple of flow alerts there no no significance in AMD better flow alerts here in Google at the highs nothing of significance good flow alerts here in Netflix so it all depends you know definitely not a red light or green light you just have to use your judgment of what you see and see in hero and see in book map see what the mag 7 are doing still making lower highs let's go to book map yes currently moving up go back to hero so pretty much in line with the trend of the hero signal options traders taking positive delta positions buying calls and or selling puts yes moving higher so heroes been a pretty reliable confirmation for trades today for the SB 500 we haven't looked at this yet and the signal for the nasdaq the combined signal ndx and qqq working pretty well today let's take a look mag 7 I like nasdaq let's go back to book map mean reverting price action for the SB 500 and definitely more bearish for nasdaq Caesar let me see if I can answer your question let's go back to hero first go to the SB 500 and let's take a look at yesterday so what I can do is go back go back to yesterday so hero was was quite bullish all day this number 7.5 billion that's high I've seen it as high as the highest day is right around 12 billion positive so this delta notional 7.5 for yesterday very high turning higher from about 10 a.m. on on up there's that move higher initial move higher at 2 p.m. and then the follow through actually begins before 3 p.m. separate outputs and calls so traders yesterday were buying calls that show by the rising orange line and they were selling puts no show value positive for both so when the orange line of the blue line are moving in the same direction this is a very powerful directional signal according to spot gamma so again traders buying calls and or and selling puts so in this case that's a very strong bullish directional indicator and it's hard for the when both lines moving in the same direction it's hard for the instrument to move in the opposite direction alright so that's hero free yesterday let me take a look at one other thing so I want to go back to a screenshot from yesterday here we go zoom in on this a little bit alright so this is yesterday I've talked about this 487 level that was the absolute gamma strike for spy yesterday acting as support and note during the day CVD constantly rising that's the dark blue line also my stop orders fueling the move higher and note the jump in the yellow line my stop orders fuel that move higher after the treasury announcement so we know that traders are buying calls and selling puts market makers take the opposite side of that buying futures to hedge their delta exposure aggressive buyers shown by cumulative volume delta and also buy stop orders fueling the move higher buy stop orders shown by the small green dots fueling that final push higher alright so Caesar I hope that answers your question Caesar says doesn't get clear than that yeah so yesterday then consolidation today after that huge move yesterday alright let's go back to go back to today change this one first back today so huge move yesterday then consolidation today and then in the afternoon now again traders taking positive delta positions delta notional moving up to delta notional moving up to 1.87 billion positive 1.87 billion positive take a quick look at puts and calls so starting starting right around just after 2pm traders are buying calls and selling puts so I knew that was going to happen trying to do that fast let's go back to total so we know right now that traders are buying calls and are selling puts and selling puts blue line orange line moving in the same direction and price moving higher go back one more time go to ES so options trades big driver price action today and ES alright my time is up I want to thank everyone for watching thank you very much for your questions and comments sorry about those dings not sure quite sure what caused that hopefully that won't happen again I want to thank you for your questions and comments and remember tomorrow FOMC oh ISM data at 10am and then no that's on Thursday so tomorrow is just FOMC 2pm we'll talk about it before and then at 2pm we'll shift over and watch the live market and watch the reaction to the announcement alright thanks again everyone have a great afternoon and I will see you tomorrow thanks bye


The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development continues placing heavy emphasis. Agriculture on the move. Agriculture on the move. Agriculture on the move. Agriculture on the move. Agriculture on the move. Hello again St. Lucia and welcome to the program Agriculture on the Move by me Philip Sidney. Today we are discussing a very important topic. When I'm sure you will realize how important it is when we get into the integrity of the program. We're talking about soil care and of course the impact on our sustainable food systems, of course our food and nutrition security. And with me are two gentlemen to my immediate right is Mr. Alvin Donnelly who is the Chief Forest Officer in St. Lucia. And of course Mr. Geass Eudoxy who is a lecturer in soil science at the University of the West Indies. Welcome to the program gentlemen. Thank you, thank you. Donnelly tell us something about this soil care program. Here there's a project on the St. Lucia. I think St. Lucia need to know about it because I'm sure you would realize that soil care is one of the problems that we have here in St. Lucia. The acidity of our soils and farmers talking about the use of inorganic fertilizers that's causing a lot of acidity. So tell us about this project. So soil care is a project that developed probably about four to five years ago when the concept actually came to the fore. You had a number of, I think they were UNCCD focal points from a number of the OECS countries who met together with the PISLM. And I'll explain what is PISLM. You know it's a partnership initiative for sustainable land management. PISLM is more like a secretariat, a sub-regional organization that helps to implement UNCCD within the Caribbean. UNCCD itself, the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification. It's a convention that St. Lucia ratified since 1997. And PISLM came into being around 2004 as a result of, you know, agreements by the Caribbean countries. And that includes Haiti and, well, right now Haiti and Suriname as well. But those islands came together and just the sub-grouping of these islands, more the OECS ones. And they were looking at the issue of land degradation. Now the UNCCD has the main agency for dealing with land degradation, soil degradation. In an effort to address the life on land, that's the Sustainable Development Goal 15, Life on Land.  So soil care came about in terms of looking at how, you know, these countries could deal with land degradation neutrality. But realizing that soils, since I think 1966, when there was the previous or the last update of soils information, you know, in St. Lucia. And I'm sure for a number of the other Caribbean, you know, islands too.  Our soils need to be upgraded and that would be critical to help to implement, you know, the land degradation neutrality.  You know, so that has taken a while. We've gotten, we've used our, the Jeff Global Environment Facility allocations. I think that was Jeff 6 to be able to develop, you know, that project. So each country, I think had to put about maybe a million, a little over a million US dollars. That's the Jeff allocations for each country into that project. So it's a regional project. It's being implemented by the PISLM as that regional mechanism, you know. And last year we had the launching, you know, right here at St. Lucia, at our facilities in Forestry. We had the launching of, you know, that project. So there are a number of components and I'm sure one of the critical components is, you know, looking at our soils, our soils, updating our soils, the maps, the labs and I'm sure, you know, guys will talk about that, you know, in a lot more detail. It's also looking to identify and come up with potential solutions for addressing land degradation. And also for addressing issues of climate change, how to mitigate resilience. But it's also looking at livelihoods and agriculture. Coming up with smart agriculture, what do you do in our mohometums?  Great. So over to you, Mr. Geas. Tell us something about you. I heard you, I didn't realize your solution. Yes. Briefly, tell us about yourself. Thank you for having me on the program. It's always a pleasure being in St. Lucia. And it was really reminiscent for me to have the project start in St. Lucia, obviously. You know, where I'm from and making sure that you can contribute back to the country in terms of its own development. My full name is Gea Sudoxi. I am a soil scientist, senior lecturer at the University of the West Indies, faculty of food and agriculture. I also serve at the campus as a deputy dean of outreach in our faculty. And I also serve as a task force member on the PISLM. And it is through that arrangement that I had the opportunity to share with Mr. Donnelly's predecessor, our current minister of agriculture. Some thoughts about soils as a resource and the fact that we have shunned that resource over time and not necessarily paid the kind of attention to it that probably is required where we seek to try to address global threats like food and nutrition security as well as climate change. And it is through that we had this wonderful conversation and we were able to see where in focusing on soils as a central node that we were able to address some of the key concerns under the UNCCD. You know, they have some key indicators that they have to report. And one of those indicators is a very key soil property that is now globally talked about called soil organic carbon content. You know, carbon dioxide, et cetera. So it's a very important property of the soil for many things, particularly in regards to soil health. So soil care was developed around our ability now to better understand our soil resources and to make sure that in understanding those resources that we institutionalize our knowledge and we make sure that we do not do the same thing that we did before. Mr. Donnelly was explaining that the last time we had information on soils was from the 1960s.  And that is the information that our farmers are using. That is the information our technocrats are using. That's the information our policymakers are using to make decisions about now. And it certainly does not necessarily give them the best information for decision making. And as such we want to make sure that that never happens again. So that is how soil care really came forward. And we're really looking to guarantee that we have that resource base in a manner that allows for us to continuously benefit. Not only for us, obviously, but for the generations that are following us. Where are we now with this program? When it started off? And you know, when is there an end point to the previous project? Well, I will speak specifically to the component and I'll let them speak a little bit more about the overall project. The university was engaged particularly to deliver on one of the components. The only regional component in the actual project, which is the updating of soils information and strengthening of our capacity to continuously monitor and assess our soils. So we are anticipating that within this particular component, we would complete the exercise of updating our soils probably within the next two years. When I say our soils, not just in Lucia, but the other eight participating countries. So updating all of those within the next two years. And by doing so what we are trying to do is to have an information system available. So all countries will have a platform where they can access their soils information, update their soils information, use it as a see fit. Whether it be for land use planning, whether it be for zoning, whether it be for farmers needing information about their soil at their site. And we also want to ensure in that period of time that all of our countries, and I have to say Saint Lucia is at the forefront running strong, when you compare them to the other countries because Saint Lucia already has the infrastructure, a national diagnostic facility. So our mission on the project is to strengthen that facility to make sure that in Saint Lucia we can continue to provide that very critical service to all of our stakeholders in a meaningful way. Before we move to our break, it's coming soon. When you say, I know there's a survey coming on board, right? What is it that you're going to capture out there? So we have already started and I want to certainly extend my thanks to the ministry and to all the departments that have supported thus far. So what we are going out there doing is that we have already developed a random sampling design that is stratified across Saint Lucia based on land use and soil types. So we already have that and now what we're doing is going across the country picking up those samples. And as we pick up those samples, what we're going to do with them is that we're going to analyze them for a range of properties, including the many things that the farmers interested in, which is the fertility of the soils. But we are also going to expand that to guarantee that we can satisfy international conventions, requirements, but also to provide an opportunity for other ministries to use that same information, whether it be for the environment, whether it be for utilities, et cetera, to know that they have information for doing work that involves our soils. So over the last couple of weeks, we have been on the ground, we have been taking samples. We have probably a mass, probably about 70 to 75 sample points. The whole point because you do for our break. You're watching agriculture to move, stay tuned, we'll be back soon. The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development continues placing heavy emphasis on the concept of food security. It's our prosperity, our future. The crop production unit conducts surveillance and monitoring for trans, boundary pests and diseases of quarantine importance for St. Lucia. It provides technical assistance in the areas of post harvest technology, agro processing and soil and plant tissue diagnosis. The unit facilitates prudent management of agrochemicals and toxic chemicals in an environmentally friendly manner for sustainable development. Soil analysis is also being carried out. Need further assistance on crop production? Contact the Senior Research Officer at 468-5601. Welcome back to the program, Agriculture on the Move, of course, as you have heard. We are discussing soil care and its impact on our food systems in St. Lucia. And of course we have here Mr. Gears, Udoxy from the University of West Indies and also Mr. Donnelly from here, our Chief Forest Officer. I'm very happy to hear where you're going with your survey and the collection of your collect samples as you go around. And to hear of during the break that the farmers that give you all that kind of level of assistance, they will do that because it's a long overview. Farmers are complaining. Our soil fixation is causing issues for our farmers. So production levels are reduced.  So moving forward, tell us again what it is that you're doing with all the samples you get and how soon you're hoping to end that program. So as we collect the samples, are we going to analyze the samples for a range of properties that are going to be beneficial to many different stakeholders, including our farmers? Once we have collected those, analyzed those soils, collected the information, we are going to develop different maps for the country. So the maps of the properties. So for instance, let's say pH, which is one of the things that farmers are very well aware of noting our history, you know, in our bananas. So what we're going to see is a map of San Nusha that shows the variability of pH across the island. So farmers can see where the pH has changed and how it varies from one location to the next. So they will be able to understand better what is happening at their site and what they will likely have to do if they need to address it. And I will also give for instance our public stakeholders the opportunity to say, okay, there is a need for us to have some intervention for the farmers in this particular area because of what we are seeing here. And that is where we want to go with it. I think very importantly as well is that we also want to guarantee that the access to the information is there. And when I say access, not only to the public stakeholders, but to anybody who wishes for that information. So the platform is going to have a user interface. Well, if a farmer wishes to go and see what that information about this was in the area, they would be able to go and get it on the platform. And that is one of the most important things. Sometimes we have information, but it's not necessarily as accessible to all the persons who may need to use it. From the process, I'm thinking too that, you know, even out of the agriculture sector, that even in the construction industry, I mean soils and soil types are very important to that industry. And I'm not sure how much of that would have been a focus even for the units or the departments who are responsible for that. But I'm certainly sure you know that would be very helpful, you know, to that sector as well. Yeah, I was asking from the forestry standpoint. I heard you talk about land degradation. How does the project, you know, take on that encapsulate that program? Yeah, well, the project has a phase, so right now we're into the phase one. And we're developing a phase two at the moment. We're looking to see, you know, how we could pull in again the resources, you know, from the Jeff star locations. But under the current phase, we've identified areas which we believe have been exposed, you know, to deforestation, loss, you know, of the vegetation that would have, you know, given it, you know, the value, the fertility. And these areas, you know, we believe in a state where that we could look at them.  So some of those areas are dry. You'd barely have any vegetation, you know, going there.  I think Choselle, we had in around the Ruzu area. We were looking at that site where the Sao Paulo, the Sao Paulo Community College have the agricultural station that's down by Guamivir in January. Yes, in the valley there. So we're looking at a site, you know, just adjacent to that area. And there may be other potential, you know, sites, you know, that we can look at. But we have those general areas as selected, you know, for sites of interventions. So there would be some sampling, you know, of the sites there as well. So besides just going to the physical points, you know, we had these three areas where you take in-depth information, you know, of the soil to be able to help make decisions, some decisions as to what we might need to do, you know, to bring back the vitality. So some of the problems I have sometimes with programs, you have programs starting, you know, there's an end point and you have nothing again. So let me know, tell me, where are we heading? I mean, I'm sure there's, as a first phase, so I'm hoping to a second phase. Well, I mean, definitely that's why I mentioned the soil care phase too. So the soil care phase too is meant to build on that. And the land degradation neutrality program that I mentioned initially. And that is meant to address degradation. So the project is taking that. And to bring it to what we call a transformative phase. So while our now minister, when he was... He initiated that land neutrality, land degradation neutrality program. And we do have, you know, a report of where our targets will be, you know, for that program. So the soil care phase two is looking to transform that into a more practical, you know, state. Also, there are some of the original countries who are not part of the phase one. So they now have a chance and they are coming on board. So they're into the second phase. And some of what we are actually doing in phase one now, they'll be doing, you know, in phase two. So the thing is, and you're quite right, you know, a number of projects that we have... We hear them and they come and the money finishes. And that's it. And that's it, you know. But soil care we're looking to get out of that. If I may. I think one of the very well thought of aspects of soil care is the fact that we wanted to make sure that some of what we are doing was institutionalized. So that we won't ever lose, you know, it wouldn't be a project, but it will be maintained as a program. And I think that is one of the roles that the university took on board. So for instance, with the information system that we want to develop, it is going to be housed in the university. So it doesn't make a difference if I am not there. The information is there. It will always be there. We'll always have a home in the institution because we anticipate it's our original institution. That institution will last. So we will always have that information there as accessible. And one of the other things soil care did is to create networks. So we have, for instance, a laboratory network of all the labs, national soil labs across our region, including our national diagnostic facility. And the essence of that is when you have a network is that you have persons working towards things that they have an interest in. And they will ensure through their own participation that the work continues. So I think we have some entrenched within the project some very good activities that are going to allow for some level of longevity and sustainability of our actions. I'm happy to hear that because I'm speaking the farmers language. And I'm sure you have heard some bizarre stories about officers going out to get soil samples. And up to now they have not gotten the results. We have a diagnostic lab. We're hoping stemming from your intervention, the U.S. intervention, going out and taking your soil samples and creating information for the farmer. What's next? In other words, he knows his soil is high in acidic. He wants to get production. So what is next for the farmer? So let me see if I can answer that question in a very short way, I guess. One of the things we require as well with it is to have the capacity for us to support our stakeholders, particularly our farmers. That means we also need to ensure that our technical persons have the capacity to be able to interpret and provide the necessary information that will support the farmer. So in addition to what soil care already has and what we have said, soil care has a very strong knowledge management capacity building component. Within soil care there are five academic scholarships available to the participants and we are just about to advertise for two. And the essence of it is to continuously build capacity within countries, within the region. In addition to that, we have several trainings that we are organizing, actually upcoming. There is one on the digital soil mapping, so that is upcoming in April. And there will be several others. Once we have the information, we will also train persons to be able to interpret the information so that when they are interacting with our farmers, they have an understanding of this is what we need to indicate to them based on the results that we are seeing. But that doesn't mean as well, and I am a very strong proponent of that. If we can organize to have farmers themselves participate and get the knowledge hands-on. So they will be a training component to that as well for that. Good, good. I think also it will be very important or essential that from a ministerial point of view that there could be some, if it needs to be a policy change or adaptation to be able to work with the farmers because I know you create that expectancy and people would want to see some change in this number of things. Yes, yes, yes. And sometimes you need to have a photo plan of how you could bring that change about. And I think it would be very important for us to be able to use that information and show the farmers that take the lead in bringing about that change that we are expecting to get. I am sure once the information is well passed on to them, I am sure they are yearning to get so that they can see the results in production. They would definitely be satisfied. I was about to end in final words from you. I think I want to follow up on Alwyn's comment there. One of the things also that is very critical for us and some work will be done with Soeke on that is the fact that within our region none of our countries have a policy an instrument that speaks specifically to how we want to manage soil as a resource. I want to say soil, I like to differentiate soil from land. Land we own. But we should not be owning soil. And we have to understand that resources are all of ours and we must think about how we manage it. And I think in doing so we will be able to address some of those concerns. So I think that is an area that we really have to pay attention to. Thank you. Alwyn, I want to thank you for being here. And I wish you all success in that project. And it is long overdue. And I am hoping that the farmers will definitely see some success and some results because all we want to do is to get our food and security secured. That is what you are talking about. Thank you again for being here. Thank you for being here. You have been watching Agricultural in the Move. I remember again agriculture is our business. And Eat Fresh, St. Lucia's Best. I'm Philip Sidney saying goodbye and see you again.


How's it going everybody? Datoi here back with another Dragon Ball Fighters video for you all today and this one is going to be special because we have a very exciting albeit small update on the future DLC for season 3 of DBFZ. That update is of course related to the last two unknown characters of the DLC pass, both of which we have not received 100% confirmation of who those characters even are or as of yet when those characters will be coming to the game until today that is. So if you aren't aware the playoffs for the Dragon Ball Nationals are currently taking place right now and will take place over the course of multiple days for each different region, the way it's working is that today I believe was the Spain event which is also the event we got this news at and then we'll have multiple different events at other times but they are all basically the finale for those certain regions so US West has a playoffs day, US East has a playoffs day etc etc. Today though like I said earlier was the Spain event and in which Hiroki appeared just to make a quick announcement with a statement that basically says the following which is we know everyone is waiting for more information about the fighters past three remaining characters and we will make an announcement during Japan's playoffs which will be held on December 20th. Of course quick side note here Japan's playoffs are indeed the final playoffs scheduled for the entire event so even though again each event is kind of its own little finale, Japan's is the last finale making it kind of like the world tour finals that we just couldn't have this year due to the state of the world with the pandemic and everything like that. And after that Hiroki also went on to say and for the release we plan to do it for the new year so around January please wait a little more. So there it is it was a very brief announcement and of course I know a lot of people will say it was announcing an announcement I'm going to give them a pass though because this was not a scheduled thing nobody expected this to happen at least as far as I'm aware. She just appeared let us know that news was coming you can let me know down below in the comments but I don't think this is anything to get too upset about because it's basically just saying yeah make sure you're watching that day because some hype stuff is going to be happening and even if you miss it don't worry here's when we're trying to release those said characters so I think this was a very good overall message and I'm really happy they're doing something like this. Now of course that we got the confirmed update out of the way it's time to talk about what this stuff could mean in the grand scheme of things so of course earlier I said that neither of the characters were 100% confirmed but I am 99.9% sure that Omega Shenron will be one of the two characters with what we knew way earlier in the season as well as that possible tease from Bandai Latin America although I do have to stress they did later confirm on that video again much like they did with Roshi that they did not intend to tease anything even without that though I do strongly think it's still going to be Omega Shenron which brings me to my next point that this character is getting revealed at the end of what would have been the Dragon Ball Fighter season three world tour finale that is a really big stage and in the past it's really only been used for announcing the next season of the game so those are the kind of announcements that sell new season passes think of announcements like Videl and Jiren UI Goku Kefla that's the kind of level of announcements that I think they want to replicate here but I don't think any single character reveal is going to be enough to do that in fact that's why I want to bring up the idea that I keep bringing up in the past videos and stuff like that pretty much every time we talk about DLC is that they might do a double reveal and maybe even a double character drop much like they didn't season one or early season two with Videl and Jiren that would be a chance to do something really exciting for the end of the season stuff like that and it would also give them a chance to get both of these characters out before the game's third anniversary late January around the 26th I believe that's when the game came out not exactly sure on that but it's somewhere in late January and I truly do believe they do want all the characters out by that this would also give them a chance to announce if they're going to do a fourth season of DLC for Dragon Ball Fighters which I really hope is the case but we don't know that yet and with the way we still have so many empty characters for this season it's still not looking like that's a huge likely possibility but if they reveal to then I wouldn't put it past them but that's also another piece of info I think we all want our hands on we all want to know if there's more in store for Dragon Ball Fighters whether it be balance patches more characters stages etc etc all of that stuff would be super exciting to hear about but we got to get rid of these season three characters first get rid of sounds negative but I just mean we got to get we got to get our hands on them I guess is a better way to say it so if I think it's Omega Shen Run then what other character could it possibly be hype enough to match that level of hype well to be honest much like I discussed with Lotus in our recent discussion video it could very well be Super Saiyan 4 Gojita people have wanted a Super Saiyan 4 for a very long time and Gojita is a great way to do it considering we already have Super Saiyan 4 Goku as a cinematic super for Goku GT the Japanese Dragon Ball Fighter's Twitter account also very recently teased this special Super Saiyan Gojitas in-game lobby avatar and while that really doesn't mean too much on its own just with the timing correlation and the fact that I already think it's Omega Shen Run that could also be another sign pointing toward that now of course that is not guaranteed and these two characters do not have to be necessarily related in fact if the last character is a huge fan favorite that might just be well enough on its own but I do think that's a likely scenario that would be very exciting to a lot of people but let me know your thoughts down below in the comments on all of this what characters are you hoping to see what two characters are you hoping are revealed and do you think they are going to do a double reveal or even a double drop at some point and do you think there's going to be a season 4 of fighters there is so many possibilities here that I hope you guys are as excited as December 20th because no matter what they reveal it is going to clear up a lot and it is going to be good to see some new DLC coming to the game it feels like it's been such a long time dude I'm super excited but other than that while you're down below in the comments if you're excited make sure to like button and subscribe to the channel if you want to stay up to date and see what those two DLC characters are and don't worry I'm sure we'll be live streaming that event as well if you want to come hang out on Twitch other than that you can check out some other videos that should be on your screen right now I've been doctor do it thanks again for watching this one all the way to the end and I will see you in the next one

The most important thing for me to say today in this venue is that I would like to share some brief ideas, some opening ideas, about the relationship between university and society and the different models of innovation and the emerging idea of open science. This may be the sister of open education. Let's start from the model of innovation. In 1995, Henry Eskovitz, one of the most famous scholars in innovation studies, theorized the presence of triple elix. That is to say that academia together with industry and government created together by their interaction what we call innovation. So there was a circulation flow of things of people and information and products, technologies that was around, that went around academia, government and industry. And the role of the academia was to train human resources and to produce scientific knowledge and develop technologies for application basically. And to make them available to society. So society was the main target and it was quite passive in this process. Together with this idea of triple elix, also the idea of mode 2 of science, of knowledge production arise. And the idea is that there is no longer a notion of science, that is a fundamental research organized into disciplines, but rather multidisciplinary teams that work together to solve specific real world problems. This is undoubtedly a progress in this sense, but still the model is very linear in the sense that universities produce basic research, curiosity driven research, so completely detached from the real world. And there are subjects that are in charge of the application. So at the border, at the boundary of the university, what Gibbons called university related institutions, for example technology transfer offices or science incubators. And at the end of the process, there was the firm that bought the product, the technology and used it and applied to what we call the real world. So strict boundaries and linearity. But that model was a huge success. Henry X Kovitsi is one of the most important reference for those who study innovation. Recently the model has been strongly revised. For example, just to give you a hint on this, we have a study of 2009 by Karajanis and Campbell that is on quadruple elix and mode three of science. Here some new elements are added. And also because an idea of media based democracy emerges. So the elix becomes from triple to quadruple. The mode from mode two it becomes, we enter in mode three of science. What does it mean? A multilayered, multimodal, multinodal and multilateral system where complex network configurations are there. So the linearity of the first models give the way to more complex models that are no longer linear and implies more than one, more than three elices. And what just Henry X Kovits called the Annupel of elices. As you can see in 2012, the elix becomes even quintuple. So the basic idea is that there are integrating and differentiating forces that interacts together in the scientific world. What about academia? What about the role that university has in society? What is the relationship that this social actor has with the rest of society? In the mode two paradigm, the university was seen as articulated in three basic missions. Teaching on one side, research on the other side. The management of the university was at the very core of the institution. And then you have third mission activities. Something more peripheral, with a strong boundary between, in respect, in relation to the other missions, and with a strong reference with the outside world. Something that were more dealt with external actors. But as Goddard in this beautiful book, the Civic University teaches us, a set of drivers are paving the way to a completely new model of universities. We are in challenging times, and we have just said, we have just told it. So the digital transformation, globalization, climate change, political devolution, the aging of the population and other social factors, the emerging values, different values that are emerging, such as individualism, are completely transforming the role of the university in the present world. And the university, the missions of the university become functions of the university that are completely integrated among them. So teaching and research together with engagement, no longer a third mission, an alter mission, but rather something very embedded in the university world. And some intersection between the functions allow the university to generate something new in the world, to really impact on it, to transform it, to response to societal challenges. And civil society is no longer a passive subject, but really ask something to the university in the present world. And as you can see, it is from the below part, the engagement. It is from the society that some inputs go to teaching and research. You can see in the spheres that cross the soft boundary of the new civic university. This is the precondition for democracy, according to Grega Kallun, Thesis 11. So what about a third mission? In the very first models, it was another pillar. And it was based on a one-way process of transfer, of knowledge, of technology from the university to society. Then the idea evolved in something like an exchange, so a two-way process. And now the present debate is more focused on co-production and co-creation. This is a picture that I really appreciated from Coventry University, that is focused on the case of the healthcare research. Here you can see that there is no longer space for linearity. Interactions are everywhere. And policies, government, what it's called government, as well as the private sector commissioning, as well as the patients that have to benefits from cures, from therapies. And there are needs that become the starting point of the research design. So all of this creates a real social impact that is clearly difficult to be measured. A last trend of change I would like to analyze with you briefly today. The trend of open science. A strong debate also on this topic, not judgment about this, but, for example, plus make this kind of modelization. Horizon 2020 gives us this word cloud about words open science. This is a representation of the different stages where open can enter the research lifecycle. As you can see, as your conference bags say today, we never close. University is open 24-7. So open science can be part of the concept at the early stage of idea and proposal can be among the toolkit of the scientists with open notebook, open data, open source, open codes. Can be the publication channel based on openness, with green and gold open access. And also the review process can be characterized by openness. And then also education and training can be based, as you teach me, on openness with open education resources. And also engagement, what we call engagement, it can be really something open to citizen, if we think about citizen sciences experiences, for example. So let me wrap it up very briefly. Let me be back to my planet in the huge galaxy of science and education. What Amvor is trying to do in those years is, as I told you, first of all, to define what third mission is. And the first thing we have learned is that third mission is much more than technology transfer. And that probably the third mission is not a third one. We, from the very beginning, we intended it as the openness of the university towards the socio-economic context through the valorization and transfer of knowledge. And this is something not only related to technology, but that also encompasses social and cultural benefits. What we call the production of public goods. How to measure, how to define it for us is the very big challenge. We have tried to do it in different experiences and I will give you some hints about it. In the first research assessment exercise we evaluated third mission just basing on simple metrics based on countings. So number of spin-off companies, for example. So the classical technological transfer metrics. But still there we introduced cultural activities indicators and also public engagement indicators to enrich the vision and the photography of the university. Recently, in the last years especially, we are trying to broaden furtherly this concept also to include something that really allow us to capture what kind of dialogue the university has with the society around. And for example, we have introduced patient empowerment initiatives in healthcare research and open education initiatives. For example, massive open online courses. And also citizen science initiatives. Just to tell you that we are doing few steps forward in this direction. Here some further readings, but really thank you for this occasion to share with you this road of ours. And I really hope that the progress in this direction of knowledge transfer, but especially knowledge mobilization will improve also thanks to your inputs. And enjoy this prestigious conference and good work. Thank you.


What's up everybody, Jason here for JaspysCaseBrace.com. We just sold out Hip Parade NHL Playhouse Hockey, Jaspys Exclusive with the six box case break, ran on teams number one, plus we added a box of artifacts as well, so total, I think seven boxes, total, but six box case, one box artifact. So, third two total spots guys, everybody's ran on team NHL, one box of 2223 artifacts, hockey and a six box case of Hip Parade Exclusive, Jaspys. All right, so here's the dice roll, and we got ourselves a one of four, five times, good luck. So these are the customers that bought in straight up, the rest obviously won those from a pack filler, and then all teams in there as well. So, what was that, five times? One, two, three, four, five. Five times, five times. Jonathan done a jack, there you go. Five, one, two, three, four, five. Four, five. Five times, five, five. Lightning down to the Leafs at the bottom. All right, Jonathan with the lightning, Steve with the Panthers, Brian probably the Senator, Steve with the Flames. Jonathan with the Devils, Mike Tyler with the Wild, Stephen Kendrick with the Sabres, Robert with the Canadians, Brian Haman with the Avalanche, Michael Jets, Brian with the Islanders, Steve with the Duck Stars, Victor with the Predators, Matt with the Kings, Michael with the Oilers, Steve with the Hurricanes, Matt Johnson with the Kraken, Sean with the Blockhawks, Allen with the Rangers, Steve with the Red Wings, Timothy with the Flyers, Brian Crawford with the Blues, Stephen Kendrick with the Canucks, Kevin with the Sharks, Steve Berger with the Bruins, Chris with the Penguins, Steve Berger with the Knights, Blue Jackets, Capitals, Peter with the Yotes, and Jack with the Toronto Maple Leafs. All right, guys, all positive videos, see if there's any trades, and if not, we'll come back and we'll get this done, guys, thank you. All right, guys, no trades, guys, so welcome back, let's do the break now. All right, so we have a box of the 22, 23 Artifacts Hockey here. Let's actually do that first. With Artifacts first, we got a rookie, Lucas Orham, Rideshow. We got a Manny Berniers. He's had a great rookie season there with the Kraken. We got an autograph of Dawson Mercer for the Devils, Bennett Jonathan, and we got a relic there of T.J. O'Sheep back when he was on the St. Louis Blues. St. Louis Blues, that is Brian Croft, and then Seattle Kraken was Matt Johnson, and Devils was Jonathan. Sean Monaghan, finally David at 2.99, Shane Goss is very at a 50, and actually, let me make sure I didn't miss any numbered parts here for the San Jose Sharks. Thomas Bordula, Bordula. Let's top load all this stuff here for the shipping team, give them a little help. Here you go, so there was the first box. Now, here we go. So I guess there is four cases worth, and this is the NHL Playhouse YouTube exclusive. I don't know what's been going on here, but. This looks like there's eight boxes. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. I don't know if Joe or Nick got confused with maybe specific ones, but. Yeah, whatever here, you guys got eight boxes in. So I guess originally it was right, I don't know. Maybe the basketball ones, since they're a little bit more expensive in baseball six, but hockey was probably always meant to be eight. Obviously the Brock Sprague is only 59.99. Was the baseball ones yesterday six, or was it eight? Yeah, it looks like the baseball ones were actually six. Yeah, I don't know, whatever. I think originally it was probably meant to be eight, but I think because baseball and basketball is more expensive, that's probably why it was six, but whatever, you guys get eight here, right? So a little bit better anyways for you guys. Let me just message them really quick. Yeah, I don't know. Well, I'll change this one back to eight guys, at least now that we know. Yeah, I guess there is, that's why, yeah, now we know. Wow, how about an Elias Pedersen? 135 out of 149, rookie signature shots. I'm also starting to think that this price is actually not the correct price, to be honest. So that's why I also messaged two. I feel like this might have, well, I also might have been a typo, but whatever. If that is it, you guys got a great deal. And Elias Pedersen, of course, that is going to the Vancouver Canucks, which is Stephen Kendra. Stature, hockey, autograph of Igor Shisterkin. Man, the Rangers so wasted him this season as well. That whole Rangers team, that was a disappointing one, series two, up two, nothing. And now the Devils are just getting blown out. Rangers though, nice hit, Alan Murdoch. Oh, Jack Eichler, that is a artifacts Ruby, issued in SPX 79 out of 399, I remember. Jack Eichler, his rookie season, and for the next couple of seasons after that, he was not upper deck signer, so he didn't have any signatures at all for the first few years. I think he was like a leaf exclusive. But then once got out of his leaf contract, I think in like what, 2019, 20 cup day, or 2018, 19, one of those years, they were able to recreate his original RPA and have him autograph it. That's a nice hit there for the Buffalo Sabres, another one for Stephen Kendrick. Man, he was so hot, this dude was selling like hotcakes back in the day in a 13, 14 NT, that's the last year of NT hockey. That is a Nathan McKinnon rookie NHL gear RPA, nine out of 75, there's one of the chasers there. Colorado Avalanche going to Brian Heyman. That dude's RPAs were like 10, 15, $20,000, it was wild. Wild times back then. We got a Jack Hughes, 2019 UD artifacts, Relic Gold PSA nine, had a great season this year for the Devils, 29 out of 399. And that is gonna go to the New Jersey Devils and that is Jonathan, three more to go. And nice John Tavaris. I actually pulled one of these parts similar from Malore. Nice autograph there. That is for the Toronto Maple Leafs we're in a little bit of a hole now and Jack, how ironic you actually got the Maple Leafs. That's still a nice hit though. All right guys, two more. And then we have a Matthew Barzell SPX rookies to 165 for the Islanders, Islanders, that is gonna Brian Heyman. Our last one here guys, good luck. How about one of the hottest players in the NHL playoffs guys, Leong Dryside. Ink sweaters, three color patch and autograph to 15. Edmonds and Oilers, that is gonna Michael P. Pretty solid, nice case right there. So again, I'll change the title for hockey. Looks like hockey is eight boxes. I'm gonna keep the titles everything else. Well we know for sure baseball six we're gonna keep that one. Basketball I'm gonna keep it at six until I know that there actually is six. If it happens to be eight then we'll change it for the next one. But I'll change right out of the hockey one. But pretty solid stuff right here. Not too bad, not too shabby. There was the big Nathan McKinnon there. You wish to start getting a little Elias Pedersen right there which is a pretty solid one from Engrained Hockey. So appreciate it folks. That was Jaspy's playoff hockey edition hit parade exclusive, RT number one.


Good morning, Commanders, the pace at which we are moving as a party, I can assure you, we have frustrated more of our own supporters, the government and the party are not moving together. I would tell you that even our ministers are contributing to the falling of the party. Yesterday, the minister came to the province to officially commission a new mine called Nikeo Mine in Kalumbira district. The youth chairman was not aware. I don't know who they communicate with. The district chairman for Kalumbira was chased from entering. The party officials that came to actually receive him at the airport were denied access to the mine. He went to commission the plant alone. This is not the first time this thing is happening. We have seen a number of programs that are rolling around the country where ministers, PSIs and those in government undertake without considering the importance of the party or recognizing the party. This is 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 elections. We have continued creating fresh wounds in our members. There is poverty in the UPND. There is poverty among the youth. Terrible poverty. All their hopes are gone. All their hopes are gone. They did not hope for poverty. I know there are good programs that a president has done on the ground. But who is able to talk about them to convince people that are complaining? How many people are in the offices able to come out to convince people or talk about what the president has done? It is the party which is supposed to be all over the radio stations, all over the streets. The party is everywhere and they are able to communicate with the people that they meet. But the party has become useless. They cannot be aware of what the government is doing. So sure. Do we feel we need power again? These people are supporters. We don't own them. We don't own them at all. They joined the party on their own willingly. And they can live willingly. They can join whoever they want. Moreover, we are not feeding them. We are keeping them with hunger. They are in terrible poverty. The notable youths are still around. Not even in an appointment. You understand. They are children when they are recruitment. Children of party officials cannot get any job. The same party officials are district levels, costumers levels. One officials are the way they are and more poverty. I am very scared because I am in the stronghold. And what I am seeing, if there is anyone who is relying that things are okay, either to the president, to cabinet or indeed to the party top leadership, for me as Bruce Kanema, I want to make it clear so that no one will be able to condemn that Bruce, you never spoke the truth. Things on the ground are bad. Things on the ground are terribly bad. Because even the same little things that people can do, they are kateos, kateos here and there. The same people in positions appointed with salaries and services are struggling again with those that are not in positions to get the little dropouts from their tables. There is a problem. They are eating but they are pretending they are also suffering under this government. Even those that are doing a few things, they are pretending that they are not doing anything. They cannot share with a neighbor because they know this one is eating. There is a problem in the house of the UPND. Problems have been caused since the time of elections. Even our own NMC is unable to attend to it. Is unable to resolve issues because even NMC has got a lot of, actually a big vacuum which up to now I don't know whether we are waiting for Jesus Christ to come and put things in order in order to fix, confirm those that are acting, appointing new office bearers from NMC up to the district. We are waiting for Jesus Christ to come. It is a pity that things are happening this way for the part which people suffer before. It is being destroyed in daylight, daylight. And we are all watching. For me I want to put things clear. Even when the president would hear this voice note. It is not in this plane but of course it is also difficult for the youth chairman to meet the president. Very difficult indeed. The youth chairman are also languishing in poverty. No transport. They can't even mobilize. So in short the party has been forgotten completely by our own selves. We have tried to fight for the party but you fight it alone. In the northwestern province if I can't speak no one talks about the party.  No one wants to hear about the party. When you go to the office as a top official or a senior official you introduce yourself in that manner. They call you come. Hey you are under me. I am a permanent secretary. I am a member of parliament. I am a ward. I am a PS. I am a minister. Don't entertain the cardals. The president said there is no cardalism. Can you give those desks to the dark person? I have sent two people there. You see them. That is how things are proceeding. For those that around the mind like us the minds are those in positions. The contracts are those in positions. Others are coming from Murusaka in the name of state house. Others are coming in the name of their positions as ministers, as children, as ward to get anything. We were told to make cooperatives. Cooperatives are not supplying. The same desks are being handled by the people whose parents are in the offices, whose friends are in the offices, whose boyfriends are in the offices. It goes down like that. We were told to apply for artisans, mining artisans or artisano mining devices. We did all that. We did all that in a very free manner with the hope that, yes, what has been told to us will happen. We were told the consolation of OPGF minds are being done. Today they are on top of their gear. They have gotten all the minds again. They are all over, selling the same minds, having more money. Going to the cadastra, the applications we made in November today, the same sites have been taken over by other people. They have got mining devices. Only the sites where we applied. Where is our home? Also, this is how it feels being in power. Is to lose almost everything. We cannot be in politics with a hunger.  Not that you suffered for the whole country in order to control, to control. Those that are controlling are eating. How about you, a mayor kata? We are losing it as a party. Our direction is lost. And things are bad on the ground. There is need for the redemption in this matter. People will remember us. People will remember these words. I am a part official and I see it. We will not pretend to hide our heads in the sand. Assuming things are okay. They are not okay, they are bad. That's why there is so much crookedness in the UPND. Because what we are doing, obviously, is to frustrate even our own people. There is no way we can fail to sustain our people, our people in poverty. Oh no, this is wrong. I hope one day things will be better. I hope so and I pray so. My heart is bleeding because the suffering of my members during the PF time, during the MMD time. The suffering was too bad, was too mad. And continue to suffer in your own government is a grave mistake. Bruce talks too much. He's official, he's not supposed to say. Yes, but who would talk? Who will say the truth? I want to say it so that at the end of the day no one will blame that. Why did you keep quiet when things were happening? You feature many commanders, youths are the drivers of winning any elections. The women today only those in government. I hope 07 will be in all the streets to campaign sleeping down in your works, polling stations. We hope so. We hope so. Otherwise things are not okay. Commanders, this is not all. We still hope that one day we meet the president and tell him the truth. We tell him the truth. It's either he takes it or he leaves it. Thank you commanders, enjoy your day. Morning team, morning team, morning team.  Unless you are not a committed member you can pretend and bury your head in the sand. Of course at our level you can try to do ABCD but you look at the general populace. General membership, who you know that indeed these people sacrifice for the party and worked tirelessly for the party. Look at their lives, look at the weather I'm lamenting. Here in Losaka now they are talking bad about the party openly. They don't even mind who is around them. In a small discussion it sparks serious negative discussion wherever you go. And these are bad signs and the tenders of trying to trash genuine concerns from people trying to ignore and call people names those who are complaining is totally the long approach to politics. People must be worried and take interest in understanding and paying attention to what people are talking about and we should find a solution. Solution must be immediate because we've already spent two years struggling without solution. So it means we need to find a solution immediately. No dreaming at all. If we don't ground we shift we will keep on pretending the root shock might might catch us in future.  Indeed they say power blind who proved it. Political power blinds people eventually the people that we are suffering with on the ground they become too wise simply because they are pointed.


Yeah, my critical chance is like 2% now, because it will all ever like. Yeah, that's what happens. My critical chance is zero, so you're better than me still, don't worry. I'm just, I just always snag these reagents. I love reagents. Reagents for my life. I love memes. I love memes.  Yeah, it's very much thank you. Oh, yeah. Oh. FBI, open up. FBI man. Big FBI man. I'm high. He's looking through your computer screen. Look, look at you. That's cute. He's looking at you through your webcam. He knows when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. Wow. He knows when you've been better. Good, so be good for good for me. For much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much. This is so sad. It looks to play Despacitos. Despacito. Sad reaction only. So you play Despacito. Despacito.  Despacito. Bang, sesh, dude. Let's start reading some YouTube comments because that's always cool. We got one that asked, do I have ligma? Yes. The answer is maybe. Yes. I haven't actually gone in to the doctor yet. It's getting kind of to a point where it's bad, okay? But it's fine. I may live. I may not live, but we'll see. We'll see. I like how I'm more powerful than you.  How much damage do you have? How much damage do I have? Look at my stats right now. How much damage do I have for balance? 40. And how much damage do you have for life? 35? Yeah, that's a lot more than 40. What? I only have 35? Yeah, that's what your stats say. My gears average something like 40. You've got 40 storm damage, but only 35 life damage. Oh, look, it's emo, boy. Yeah. It's emo very fursuit. Emo fursuit makes fursuit a sin. Exactly. That's his new name. Fursuit makes suit a sin, you know? Because like soot, you catch redrift, you want to faint the bar so I can help.  Please look after my children. Please have my children and my wife, but not anything else. Because you cannot afford them. No, please. My children. No, please. Please don't hurt them, the children. No, do not hurt the children. Anything but the children. Anything but the children. They may take our land, but we can't take our children. Our children. Famous movie quotes by Brino. Thanks. There was nothing wrong. Completely wrong, I know. That was the point. It's called comedy film. Just need a one more. I'm going into a new territory. I've never been this way before. Where are we even going? Oh, this is back to this place. Oh, okay. That's interesting. You see, I just always use teleporters. So I never know where I'm actually going off the time. It's great. It's a great predicament to have. I swear to gosh, golly damn. I'm going to follow you. Then you're going to not get any, because I've already taken them all down. I'm trying to find them. The first one. There's a lot of them just lying on the ground somewhere. There's another one. Boom, I'm done. I'm done.  I can literally see one right in front of me. You obviously didn't want to. I see one. Good job. There we go. Now you know what you're looking for. That's not the only thing that a super attractors. Who's what else is attractive? Health Wisps. They're very attractive. I love those voices. They just float around and just be wispy. They just go at their own pace. Oh, I got pulled. Doesn't matter. They're only around the woodmobile. I'm seeing submarine parts. Yeah, that's not where they are. You're gone for just too far. Too far. That's the next area. You've gone too far. That's in stages. You know, it's in stages.
