It is the Tuesday, the January 16th edition of the Tiger Technicians Hour. We're going to get the Dow down 180 points at 37,409. There's weakness in certain Dow stocks, but most importantly what we are looking at is we've got a call and we'll go straight to the call. We have got Charlie and Boston. Charlie, how are you? Good. I'm calling you back. I should tell me, too, on the India Fund, I'd like to know where it's going. Yes. So we spoke about this. I said everything about it seems to be acting very well. It was, I think, either about to make a leg D or a peak D. And I said, oh, it's got that, but the 9p of moving averages over the 14, that's a good sign. The MACD is good. The stochastic is getting a little overboard, but it's still acting well. And you have a very strong spike on Friday. And now IFM, which is the India Fund, is trading at 19.11 down 13 cents, but it hit a new recovery high at 19.26. So what are you doing? What have you been doing? We're running this issue a year now, of whole stock. Right. And I think if I recall correctly, what I'd say to you is, at this particular level, the only thing I would say to you is to take, just for money management, is to take just a tad off just in terms of, I always like that when things go your way, you take advantage of it, but in a very small money, you don't want to change your core positions. I still like it very much. I think this is, in fact, telling me that the rotation through different sectors, different industries, different countries is very active. But I do think on a very short-term basis, the IFM should pull back, but you've got a really good cushion because that whole 1850 area is so far very good supporting you at 19.11. So this is only a leg C in the weekly chart. In my methodology, it should pull back at some point, make a peak C and then go to a leg D. And that's where you've got to be a little bit more cautious because at D, you can see what happened when it went to peak D back. I think it was October of last year. Let me just get my mouse right there. September. September the week of the 29th, it went to 1761, then a pullback down to 1556. So that's quite a pullback. So I'm suspecting that this is still very strong. The monthly is starting to improve a lot. I'm a little disappointed that the on-balance volume is only creeping up very slowly. Maybe that's a good sign because it gives a lot of room to keep moving up to overboard. But I like when they go in parallel and it's kind of lagging a little bit. So I'm going to recommend this. I think the reason why you called me is just to check in to see if there's anything that I see that says be a little bit careful. And the only thing that says to me be a little bit careful right now is that I'm feeling that the general market, and I have to say that different sectors are doing completely different things. I mean, the uranium sector that I spoke about for weeks and weeks and weeks and mentioned again on Friday, look at that. That is a spot uranium minus ETF, huge moves over the last two, three days. So even here, I'm looking at and saying, I'm getting a little bit overboard. So I wouldn't be surprised if we have a little digestive phase this week. But I'm a little reluctant to do, I mean, you're in for a year to mess around. I don't want to do that. I think you got in correctly. You did everything. You did your homework. I don't really want to be the proxy for getting you out early. So all I'm going to say is consider your situation in terms of it being a pretty long term buy and holds. Therefore, if you've got separate money that you can add to it at any point, that's fine, but it might make your position in one issue a little bit too heavy. If that's the case, think it through. And at this point at 19.10, and right here, I'd say, I don't have any qualms saying to you, I don't want to mess with your position. But if you're asking for advice, I'm going to suggest that if you can take just a little bit off here at 19.10, regardless of how low it actually goes, I would just say I'm going to prepare to put it back at 18.42, something like that. So not even a point lower, but at least it gives you a nice percentage gain. And if you get it lower, it actually gives you a nice cost average if it then starts another leg to the upside in the weekly chart, because I can see the resistance is going to be at about 20.30. That's what I'm looking at longer term. And that's a point and a half, so that's about another 5% or 6%. So that's the only thing I would say to you. I like it. I, F, N, India fund. Now, it's completely different to the I, N, D, A, which is the I shares India ETF, which has a different kind of personality. It's already very close to its all time high. So I'm dealing with just the one that you have, and the one that you have is the I, F, N. And that one, as I say, is a slightly different character. It hasn't the all time high was up in the 23s plunged down to the, to the 14s. And here it is at 19 is a different, it's just a different formation. So that's, that's all that I can say I like it. All I would do is take a little money off and I'd actually plan to put that back about three quarters of a point, or maybe even a point lower. That'll just make it'll keep making your cost, your overall costs average really good. I don't know if that helps you. Yes, thank you very much, Basil. And congratulations. You've really done a very nice job in this call again. Thank you for calling. All right. Thank you. So I had another question. I'm going to go to the market in a moment. Muna is a Moderna by attack over done. It was the favorite all the way to the 497 level in August of 2021. A little bit of a pullback coming all the way down to the 60 area. But now it's had a 40% gain. I mean, this is really good. Actually, more than that, it went to 150 and 160. Let me give you the exact figure right here. Double top, two bar reversal, 151 and 115.97 in January the eighth this year. And now it's pulling back a nice little digestive phase after running all the way above the 200 period moving average. So I like it very much, but I do think that this has had a fabulous move from the 60 level to 115. Well, you know, that's that's a big, that's a big point move. That's 40, 55. It's almost a double.  And that's what it's in. I tell you what, I'm looking at, I'm looking at it between 92 and 88. That's going to be key if it can get there and then whole steady. That might be where you might want to add to it. But in the meantime, I'm looking at this and saying it's it's in a. This has to be treated as a retracement mode. Yeah, I don't know if this is just a brand new buy. I'm going to have to give it all of this week before I can say the weekly chart has gone from maybe a buy signal to a buy mode. At this point, it isn't a buy signal. I don't have conviction yet that it's got a buy mode and it's going to go to the 120s, not just yet. I think it needs to digest this huge gap. Hope that helps you. I'll be back and we'll go through all the all the different indices as soon as I return. I am a little upset that XLF they're actually taking a bit of a dive here, but it's had a good run. I'll be back down 152.

Checking on this left side right side price time match because I can't use the plum line that I want on the E-mini and it has a target right now, very close right there. I didn't even say it could retest the 48.05 area, I said 48.03 right now. Going to just also say just a 200 period moving average. In the 5-minute chart it allowed the price to go over it but that was still a repellent zone. There was an exact repellent zone in the 10-minute chart in the E-mini. Going to watch this very closely and it's just incredible how they is selling every day and yet there's just something that says you know what, you can sell as much as you want but I want to come in as helping the market and that's what happens every day and I'm using the Dow as an example. Apple comes down, you've got Microsoft goes up, you've got this balancing act all the time, Boeing is weak and all of a sudden you'll find some strength maybe in one of the Dow type stocks and that's the same thing that happens in the S&P, it's the same thing that happens in the Q's. Look, the Q's were down quite sharply, 1, 2, 3 and now they're only down 10, oh I'm looking at the wrong thing, let me just put this, it's the right thing but the wrong chart, that's the one-minute chart, I don't need that right now, E, S, H, 2, 4, get that back in. Okay, so let's just run these numbers. We've got the Dow, so what I was saying is that that's the financials, a little bit of topping actually, remember I call this distribution, we don't know if it's distribution because if there's a spike, it's a 37, 32 down 28 cents, the S&P S&P Financial Spider Fund, it made a new recovery high in the 38 over one inch area, a double topping over the last two weeks. Leg E, maybe a peak E today in the weekly chart and a nice leg B all within kind of a sideways movement within both the weekly and monthly, high highs and high lows, wow that is just so important. So within that context, let me do a couple of things here, I just need to check first of all, I've got a question that came in, yes I will, I'll put that in my notes here, let's see, okay got it, okay, so let's just run this, I want, I've been very happy that the XLF has rallied this well so far, but it's really important that even if there's a pullback, it needs to be in the wheelhouse of higher highs and higher lows, it's really important. So there we go, the Dow, coming back a little bit from the days low, it's down only 120 right now at 37,471, have a look at this, this is what I showed subscribers to my over the call, now we are short the Dow, not aggressively short on the short term, long term, we have, you know, entries that go back to March of 2020, October of 2022, the short term, yep we're short and it did make an all-time high on Friday, no problem, but look at this, this is Chapman Wave Automated Resistant, how many resistance, actually I didn't recall ever seeing this before, look how the prices contain the black 14-period, sorry, the black Automated Chapman Wave resistance levels all the way to 37,930 starting from 37,708 and yeah we are at 37,486, so those are all resistance levels and yet the support, the red ones are all the support levels, it went underneath it but then there's a whole, I don't think I've ever seen this before and one of the reasons is we went sideways for so long and sideways action, this is what I call the part of the distribution range at highs, you got to watch that and it says that the longer it lasts the more important that key support level has to break down before this can really tumble, otherwise it could in fact be a high level consolidation ready to break to the upside, I would find that a little difficult right now because there are a lot of stocks that just need a bit of a breather, so let's get out of that and we'll go to, interesting that the voice is playing games here, let me have my tea, oh okay that should be better I think, okay good, now let me just do this for a moment, where do we go, right there, I got to go back to Tiger Chat, I need to see questions that are coming in and as I do that, here we go, so now it's down 106, you can see every time they're selling for the last week, oh buyers have come in, every time they're buying sellers have come in, just it's quite extraordinary at this level that is at all time highs, all right here we go, S&P, S&P right now is down nine, coming back quite nicely from the 47-51 low and even more important than that is this is, if there's a lower high today, below the 47, 98, 50 level, I've got to check, I don't think I updated that on Friday, 48.02.40, whoa way way way, oh 48.02.40, there you go, so if we if we don't break about 48.02.40 today it means that I can do the measurement, I don't want to do it this is what I'm going to do, I'm going to get rid of it right now because I don't want to presuppose anything, what happens here, well the stochastic is back at 83%, that's good, it's not as good as it was and the nine is still over the 14, MACD is deflected, it's negative, it's kind of almost deflecting lower, but I'm going to take this away because I want the full day to go before I can place that in, so we're watching the 48.02.40 level this week, the break above that's really important, but actually even more important is the 48.18.62 all-time high, are we going to get there, we are so close, okay cue cue cue, one two three, it's the same thing here, this now then could be a G slash B and then this will become a new and notation in the chapter, but 412.92 was the high of the 28th of December, we haven't taken that out and yet the QQQs have held very well, they just haven't had an extra impetus to go to another all-time high and the weekly chart has gone to an F slash B and it just needs just a 412.93 starts a new leg C or G slash C and it extends the monthly so that January says we've extended leg B, you can't get a peak B until all of February, you can't get a leg C until all of March, so all of that says very positive action looking out, but the shorter term says you've got to be a little careful your IWM, that gets approved for the pudding, 125 down at 190.190, that's making low lows and low highs, it's not really failing, but they're nine-period moving average for three sessions, it's gone pink, I've got to watch it real closely. Now I need just to spend a moment on this, if you're going to go to gold, it's all very well going to gold which is down eight, but it's the GDX that I really want to follow because this is the gold minus and I might be wrong about this, but I over the years, decades actually, I remember when the XAU back in 2000 or 2001 was at 45, 46, I remember getting a bi-signal, that's a good, and then I remember looking very much later on trying to get the implication of if the miners lead, is that positive or is it gold that needs to lead? I think there's always been, I want to see the gold miners lead because it means now they've seen profits, now this is the real thing in action, so I'm not happy about the GDX at this point and it's going to save us, but silver is down 21, I'll be right back.

If you look at High Grade Copper, did I type that? Did I type that in the wrong place? No, yes I did. So let me type it over here at HG, High Grade Copper making low lows and low highs. Let's look at just for argument's sake as to say there is somewhere and it's rotating. Well it had been in wood, the iShares Global Timber and Forestry ETF. That's going to peak ABC. This is a C in the weekly chart. This is an F in the daily chart and the weekly chart actually has good technicals and the monthly chart has been improving. So that says, yeah you might have High Grade Copper kind of stalling but in the relationship of High Grade Copper, remember Dr. Copper we like to think of it that way because it's an international building material function and wood of course the iShares Timber and Forestry. That is also international. That's important. So that's holding well. It's not great right now but it's actually holding pretty well and I want you to add Builder, just as we're talking about building. Builder is the Builder's first source ink building materials, manufacturing components, Leg D in the monthly chart, Peak G-Sash B in the weekly but still with really good technicals and almost a little head and shoulders here. The daily chart are holding really well. Only $1.50 down today at $1.65 all-time highs and just over $1.70. This is holding really well. Let's just do told brothers because I want you to give you a picture of what to me has been working, what hasn't been working and what I'm really watching. So told brothers, let me just get that up there. There it is, told brothers trading at $146 making this like a distribution rectangle formation right here in the weekly chart. In the daily chart, the monthly chart is holding very well. Monthly chart has gone to a leg D and this is really important. Why? Because the TLT is pulling back and yields are going higher. Look at crude oil. I said before if we see crude oil going higher, yields go higher and the dollar going higher. That could say market watch out because there are things going on here that are really important that are the big picture. But look what we've got. We've got crude oil just stuck in this range. I've got these flip numbers right now. I'm not interested in those flip numbers and let me get out of this. It's just gone sideways and the weekly chart is making lower lows and low highs and the children should be moving average. It had a good bounce but now it's taken three weeks to break above it and it hasn't. So it's just kind of stuck. So as I'm looking and now let's just go back to the semis because we have a short position in the semis. We also today, which had really fabulous gains, today we took another little bit of a short position. Small. It's an aggressive position but a small and we got stopped out quite quickly actually. It's one of the first times we've been stopped out of this in this particular SOXS. And that says to me, hey, have some respect for what's going on here. Not everything is turning down. There is still residual strength. You can see there's residual strength because Microsoft just made a new all-time high at 394.03. So you're right now at 392.24. And so this rectangle that went from a lower case H to a lower case successfully because it held. Look at this trend line. I don't like to have too many lines here but I'll put this in because that's something that I was monitoring since we are long. All right, we're along from the 338 level. Look at that. It held beautifully. In fact, I wanted to do something. Oh man, that's going to get so messy. I should have done it. Should have done it for myself because that would have, we've already had trading positions but I would have had another one based on this. Look, it went to the Chapman wave, inside track, propellant zone. How about that? Look, green, pink, and there it is. It went right in and it springboard, boom. And now it's at an all-time high. And that to me is really good. So you've got this at an all-time high. You've got Apple pulling back sharply down three at 182.76. You've got Nike in the down, also in the down. Nike down sharply down, well not so sharply, just down two points at 102.93, down 2.03 percent. But there's a little dreaded H right there. You're going to be watching this very closely. If it closes under 100, anytime this week, that's going to say, oh, that's going to impact the down a little bit. So I needed just to look at that. And I also wanted to say, look, Intel, which is in the down, is holding quite nice. It's up a penny at 47.13. And it's one of the weaker semiconductors historically. But over the last year, it's really come to life and it's really saying, hey, I have a product now that is now at least in demand. It wasn't so much before when I was plunging from the 70s down to the 25 level. Now I've got something a little different. So okay, we got that. Next question came in and that was a question I wrote down. Thank goodness. Oh, DocuSign. DocuSign is DOCU. DocuSign is down 52 cents. Ooh, did I forget to not take that? So that I have is an F right there. F. And the question is, is this a G that fails or does it fail right away? So this is DocuSign DOCU trading at 62.94 down 64 cents on the 15th of December, it went to 64.76. 64.76. On the Friday, was that the 12th, the 12th of January, it went to 64.70. So so far, it's just missing the previous high. This is a stock that had a chapter with two-bar reversal at 340.76. Next month, 340.70, almost the same difference as what we're looking at here, except there is a difference between 314 and 64. So with that said, I love the fact, this is when I had my webinar last month and I was talking about the rotation that says some of those real laggards are going to start to become leaders. They've already started becoming leaders, but they are horribly off their lows. This is one off their highs. I'm sorry, all time highs. This is one of those together with Myrna, Madonna, and what was the other one? A couple, right? So Shopify, a lot of those. So this is something to watch. This is a patent that I've often looked at and said, this is a fascinating patent because it has, on the one hand, it has Chapman Wave right there, Falling Exformation, and then on the other hand, it has a lopsided gravy cup, remember? Instead of just a plain old cup, it's lopsided and it goes from here to there and it tries to get back and test the left side high. So I like, so question about Dr. Syke, I like it. I like it very much. I think it's in this category that in this kind of little bit of a shakeup that you've seen in the general market has some stocks that it would fantastic take, quite a bit of a creature, and other stocks that have been put much even higher, and you've got those stocks that are just coming on stock, this is in that category. So yes, it could pull back to 59, 57 that area, but I like it right now. I'll be right back. The Gold Report. As a precious metal gold is still king.

I go through it back, and so this is something that I'll change the request to ARM, ARM request from ARM to BAC. No problem with this card. Okay, so let me just say doggie sign. And in the tiger YouTube, we got covered, so let me just see if I can get that back. Talking about covered, I'll talk about some funny things. It was not so funny for the people involved, but it's funny. I'll talk about it. I better put it down. Covered. I'll put covered, and I'll say, what did I mean by covered anyway? So, Rachelle says, A-Net. So, great. Let's just see A-Net because I wanted to put together a couple of things here. A-Net. Oh, no. This is the exact opposite. So, this is A-Rista Networks trading at 256 up 450. This is in the category which I was saying a little earlier on that did fantastic and is continuing to do fantastically like a Microsoft. So, A-Rista Network, I believe this is an all-time high at 256. I need to open this up a little bit just to make sure because the other one was NET. So, I'll get there and let me see. Yes, A-Rista Networks, fabulous. Congratulations, Rachelle. You like to pick the ones that really keep moving. Congratulations. Good eye, good technique, but we are looking at, was it NET? Let me just check. Yeah, they are. So, NET is Cloud Fair Inc. So, that made this peak D double top, peak E doji candle top in the weekly chart. And what's really important about this was once at 220. I wonder if there was around number 221.64 was the all-time high November 2021. That's a little bit of a tumble down to 39. And now it's trading at 79. So, that's a nice percentage gain. But look at this, it's starting to tire. It's starting to weaken a little bit. It's starting to say, I need a bit of a breather. And that's what I'm saying. So, this is the rotation that we're looking at. So, together with Docu, it almost fits the same category that it's had a fabulous run. Actually, the Docu chart because of Thursday and Friday of last week is a much better looking chart and the suggesting that there should be some pullback. Now, this is where I'd normally say take a little bit off the money management. I don't think I want to take a little bit off at this point. I want to see if it's able to actually hit 65 this week because it's showing independent strength. It could be takeover talks. It could be anything, a Docu sign, you know, we talked about it for years and years and years. So, enough with that. So, I need to just finish a couple of things. Look, the TLT. The TLT is pulling back. That means that the TBT, and that's basically yields, are rallying in Leg C. So, that's A right there, A. Chapman Wave methodology, identify the lowest low counties successively higher peak. That's the easy part. Leg C right now, alphabetize them sequentially. And it's not a big deal. I mean, you're looking at something that was in the 44, 45 area back in the weekly chart right there. That was back in the fall of last year. And then fall was the word because it came tumbling down to the 28th, 29th level. And now it's a 32.44. So, this is a balance. It is impacting the green nine-period moving average in the daily, but not the weekly. You'd never get that to cross positive unless you start to see the TBT Ultra Short Neman 20th Treasury Bond ETF up in the 3550 area. That's what it's going to take. That's another three points, another 10 percent higher. So, this is what I'm saying. Yes, you've got some independence. Yes, we had, we wanted, we've been, after my webinar, we've been wanting to buy certain areas that are being weak and that show potential for strength, certain areas that have been very strong that have the potential to continue their strength. And in that category, I have to put, I'll do it again, I have to put uranium. I don't know, I suspect I know why and I've been talking about why I think it is. But that's not the issue. The issue is that, is this an all-time high? Oh, it's not long enough to know. It's not in this because it goes, well, what is CCJ, which is Comico, Comico Corporation, Uranium Fuel at 50.48. I think the all-time high was in the 55, 56 area, 44.81. There are 56 round number high back in June of 2007. So, isn't that fascinating? You've got crude oil. Yeah, not so, I'm just kind of meandering, but you've got uranium on a tear to the upside. There's some things going on. It's trading very nicely high. And 164.46 was the high back in November of 2021, made a beautiful cup formation, trading right now at 158.53. So that's still, you know, six, seven points away from the all-time high. But that breakout is really important. And that's the reason why I cannot dismiss the SMHs. So we are still short, but I'm not going to mess around. If it means that we have to cover it still up very nicely from my entry point, I'm watching it very closely. Because as I said, when you have a bifurcated market, when you have a market that shows a chance of being swayed by a couple of stocks enough, even though the other stocks are weak or strong, whatever it is, to give it a bias, in this case, a bias of trying to come back.  Now, look at this, Boeing down 7%. Wow.  But you're also talking about people, people in the cabins of these aircraft. This is not, you know, you don't want to wish that Boeing is going to go down from 202 now to the 100 level, because that's going to imply a lot of terrible things. Let's get off that and let's just go straight to the question that came in. Could I look at BAC? So BAC, which we are long, is down 66 cents at 32.30. We are long under 32. And we took very nice profits on a small position as it was making the peak D right there, second peak right there, that D right there, 34.68 beginning of January. Now, what we're looking at is it's a 32.15 and it's a peak C in the weekly chart. That monthly chart is now starting to lose its upside momentum, even though the MACD has cost positive. I'm watching this very closely. So the question is, now I can't remember if you wanted to get in. Yeah, so let me do this. It doesn't matter. Let's just treat it as if it's absolutely fresh. I better put this down for the next question, get it all ready. Yeah, so WBA, I'd say I'd wait a little bit. Remember that was when it was in the 3380s. 34.69 was the recent high. I would like to hold it.  So we've taken another bit off and now I've got, I can lower the entry point. I can lower from our entry point. I can take a little bit more. I can take a loss just to give it room. And that's all I'm doing. I'm suspicious of this. I don't like the fact that the turn of period moving average quickly became a magnet. It was pushing away from it in the weekly chart. Now it's back there, 32.13 just underneath that. I'm watching it and I'm just going to say hold off, don't do anything with Bank of America. I don't think you got in. I think you were looking too good and I said to you, wait, I'm going to recommend wait another day or two. I'll be right back down to 133 as it is down four big diversions there. TFNN has just launched their new trading room, the Tiger's Den, hosted at Discord.

Just to clarify, yes, we'll remain short the doubt. Now, one other thing is that WBA, which is Wolverine Boots, I'd say be real careful. I liked it for a rally. I did not actually put a bit in for us, for our subscribers back in the 2021 area. It ran all the way to 26 and now it's down to 23. Hold off. I know you've got a question about it. I would just hold off a little. Let's look at it tomorrow again. If it takes out the left side low, I'm going to be worried about it. If it holds, maybe it's got another bounce in it, but I would not do anything now. And the VIX index, as you're about to go to Steve Rose's next show coming up, the VIX index is up 83 down at 1353 down from the high of 1418. I do not like when you're making all-time high and almost the next day, the VIX index screams to the upside. That's just too quick. It means that people are just getting too quick to be nervous. So I would like to see the VIX index actually close below 13.40 today and make it a little lower low and then slowly move to the upside into the 16s over the next 345 session. Hey, have a wonderful rest of the day. Check out my opening gorma day newsletter.


In the 10th part of this module we cover the asynchronous execution in JavaScript and again as you see at the warning sign in the bottom this is a topic that can lead to errors. It's often quite difficult to understand what is being done by JavaScript, why the output is as it is and not as you would like to. And JavaScript by itself you can read that often on the internet is single threaded. So this means there is a single execution model there's a single thread if you go into operating systems you will get more information on what that means but basically means JavaScript can only do one thing at a time. But this is not quite the story for example you have seen the timeout example before where some timeout is running in the background for a certain milliseconds and meanwhile something else happens. So clearly there is more than one thing happening at the same time and what actually happens is that there are several components in JavaScript. If we take this example here which is again one of those examples that is not very intuitive we have a function log that logs something as the name says. It has a callback as you have just learned so our callback function says simply log one and the delay is zero milliseconds. So basically this should wait for zero milliseconds it should not wait at all and then it should call our function cb which simply outputs one and we call the function down here so here we just define it and the intuition would be that because this is zero we should directly get a one and then we should get a two. The reality and of course I wouldn't show it if it would be the other way around the reality is that first we get two first we get and then we get one so the delay here does not seem to play a very big role and if I change it to a thousand milliseconds one second you see that it takes a bit but still two comes first one comes later but the order is the same no matter how many seconds I put into there and this has to do with the way JavaScript executes these things. So in this case two one and I'll explain to you why this is the case. JavaScript has a number of components and we'll take the same example here so we'll take the timeout function that logs one after zero milliseconds and then logs two. JavaScript has this so-called event loop and this is a number of things that are happening in the browser this is slightly different in the back end but the core thing of our JavaScript engine is the call stack so here we put all the things that are currently being executed and as long as they not finished they remain on the call stack so for example if we call a function we add that function call here and if then within that function another function is being called then it comes on top of that because our execution is not finished while the other thing is being added so that's the first thing here if we go through this code the function is being parsed and nothing is executed because this is just a function definition it starts here it starts as soon as we get to our log statement and what happens is that JavaScript adds it to the call stack so it says we have a function call let's add this here and this is called a frame again this is not as important why this is the case but this is a frame on our call stack now if we look at what log does we get into here the first statement is again a function call set timeout so again this is being added on top of the call stack log is still in execution so it's it's still here it's not removed and now we get to the interesting part there are a number of so-called browser web APIs so application programming interfaces that are run by the browser and whenever we reach a statement that is executed in one of these APIs it basically goes from the call stack to our browser API so in this case timeout is part of one of the browser APIs it is being moved over here and the browser web APIs they run in another execution so they are not single threaded as we discussed before but they can do things in parallel to our regular execution and in the example of the of the timeout the timer is running in parallel to the rest of our code being run um and now we said this timer is zero so it basically directly is finished before anything else happens uh and what happens then is that we get to the callback um and the browser web API does not just execute a callback but it basically puts this to the message queue so it says we're done here uh you should execute cb as soon as you have time uh so this is a message that goes back to javascript but right now it's not being executed so it's waiting here in our queue um and what happens then is the interesting part the message queue does not execute anything it waits until our call stack is empty so it does not do anything until the call stack is completely empty and in this case we still have log we are still here uh and the set timeout is now gone so we go to the next execution which is console.log and we add it to our call stack so now we get to console.log um and what happens now is simply that this is executed so it's executed and removed from our call stack and this means that in the console we see two so this is our first output uh then we are at the end of our log function so actually the log execution is finished which means the log statement the log frame disappears from our call stack okay uh and the only thing we left now is the message in our message queue and after each execution our event loop checks is the call stack empty uh now it is empty so now finally it takes the cb the callback and puts it into the call stack uh and the call stack then simply executes it so it goes into cb it adds console.log to our call stack it logs and we're done um so what happened now is basically that if we go back in time the execution of our callback of our log one waits until everything is finished so even though the timeout was zero here it does not do anything as long as we still have code to run and this explains that even though the callback is is zero the timeout is zero that two always comes first because the execution has to finish the call stack has to be empty until we get to our log one so this is a quick explanation of how this works to summarize whenever we have a command that is executed we place a frame on the call stack when we hit a frame that is uh that is being executed by a browser web api we move it to there so we basically direct it to the browser web api uh an example for those other timeouts we have seen other things which we'll cover in part 11 are ajax calls so asynchronous http requests once the browser web api is done it basically places a message or a callback in our message queue and the message queue then waits uh until the call stack is empty and this means after whenever something is executed here in the call stack the message the event loop checks is there still a frame in here and if it's not as soon as it's empty the message queue moves the content to the call stack and starts executing now this is a little bit complicated so if you haven't understood that there are two links in the literature reference that explain how all of this works there's also a video and a tool where you can put in code into a window and see how it executes in this event loop to get a bit more of a feeling for this in summary what we have now covered in the parts seven to ten are some of the more difficult things of javascript the things that are unintuitive and we have discussed the type conversion comparison of variables hoisting and scopes and then finally callbacks and the asynchronous execution in javascript so this helps you to understand most javascript libraries and what kind of input they expect for example the callbacks are fairly common but there are two parts left that we will cover in this context and we'll do the next


Welcome to the session. I am Kanika and I am going to help you to solve the following question. The question says, a guide for a sick person must contain at least 4,000 units of the tarmets, 50 units of minerals and 400 units of calories. Two foods A and B are available at a cost of Rs 4 and Rs 3 per unit. Respectively, if 1 unit of A contains 200 units of vitamin, 1 unit of mineral and 40 units of calories, 1 unit of food B contains 100 units of vitamin, 2 units of minerals and 40 units of calories, find what combination of foods should be used to have the least cost. We will solve this question by using corner point method. This method is based on the fundamental extreme point theorem. The theorem states that the optimal solution to a linear programming problem if it exists occurs at an extreme point of the feasible region. So, in corner point method, we have to first find the feasible region of the linear programming problem, then we have to find the coordinates of each vertex of the feasible region and at last we have to evaluate the value of the objective function at each corner point which we have obtained in previous step. If the problem is of maximization, then the solution corresponding to the largest value of z is the optimal solution of the LPP and the value of z is the optimum value. The knowledge of this method is the key idea in this question. Now, begin with the solution. In this question, we want to find the combination of foods A and B which should be used to have the least cost. So, let number of units, food A be x, number of units of food B be y. Now, we will make a table of the information given in the question. So, let's make a table of the information given in the question. We are given that one unit of food A contains 200 units of the tamin and one unit of food B contains 100 units of the tamin. Food A contains 1 unit of mineral water, 1 unit of mineral water and 1 unit of food B contains 100 units of the tamin. Food A contains one unit of mineral and two units of mineral are contained in food B. Food A contains 40 units of calories and food B contains 40 units of calories. Cost of food A is rupees 4 per unit and cost of food B is rupees 3 per unit. Now read the first statement of the question. It says a diet for a sick person must contain at least 4,000 units of vitamins, 50 units of minerals and 1,400 units of calories. So this means minimum requirement of the vitamins is 4,000 units of minerals is 50 units, calories is 1,400 units. Now according to this table I will express X and Y as linear in equation. Now look at the first row. One unit of food A contains 200 units of vitamin and one unit of food B contains 100 units of vitamins. So X units of food A contains 200 X units of vitamin and Y units of food B contains 100 Y units of vitamin. Thus X units of food A and Y units of food B contains 200 X plus 100 Y units of vitamins. Now the vitamins contained in the diet should not be less than 4,000. So 200 X plus 100 Y is greater than equal to 4,000. Now this implies 100 into 2X plus Y is greater than equal to 4,000. This implies 2X plus Y is greater than equal to 40. So this is our first in equation. Now look at the second row. Now according to this row X units of food A and Y units of food B contain X plus 2Y units of minerals. Also the minerals should not be less than 50 units therefore X plus 2Y is greater than equal to 50. This is our second in equation. According to third row X units of food A and Y units of food B contain 40 X plus 40 Y units of calories. And the diet should contain at least 1,400 calories therefore 40 X plus 40 Y is greater than equal to 1,400. This implies 40 into X plus Y is greater than equal to 1,400. This implies X plus Y is greater than equal to 35. X and Y cannot be negative therefore X is greater than equal to 0 and Y is also greater than equal to 0. So we have formed three in equations according to the given constraints. Now we will find the objective function cost of 1 unit of food A is rupees 4 and cost of 1 unit of food B is rupees 3. So cost of X units of food A, food B rupees cost function Z equal to 4X plus 3Y and we have to minimize this cost. The mathematical formulation the linear programming problem minimize equals to 4X plus 3Y subject to the constraints greater than equal to 40 greater than equal to 50 Y greater than equal to 35 greater than equal to 0 and Y is also greater than equal to 0. Equation corresponding to in equation to X plus Y greater than equal to 40 is 2X plus Y equals to 40. Equation corresponding to this is X plus 2Y equals to 50. Equation corresponding to this in equation is X plus Y equals to 35. Points of intersection with X axis and Y axis of this line are 0, 40, 20, 0. Points of intersection with X axis and Y axis of this line are 0, 25, 50, 0. Points of intersection with X axis and Y axis of this line are 0, 35, 35, 0. 0, 0 does not satisfy all these in equations therefore all the points above these lines satisfy this in equations.  Let us now draw the lines first line is 2X plus Y equals to 40. This line passes through point 0, 40. This is point 0, 40 and 20, 0. Join these two points. This is the line 2X plus Y equals to 40. Now we will draw the second line. Points of second line are 0, 25, T, 0. Join these two points. So this is the line X plus 2Y equals to 50. Now we will draw the third line. Points are 0, 35 and 35, 0. Let us now join these two points. This is the line X plus Y equals to 35. Now we will find the feasible region. The shaded region is the feasible region. So here feasible region is unbounded above. The lower corners are 0, 40. This point we can obtain by solving equation 2X plus Y equals to 40 and X plus Y equals to 35 simultaneously. On solving these equations, we get this point as 5, 30. This point is 20, 50. We have obtained this point by solving equation X plus 2Y equals to 50 and X plus Y equals to 35 simultaneously and 50, 0. At the corner point method, we know that minimum value of Z will occur at one of these points. So now we will calculate value of Z at each of these points. The first point is 0, 40. Z is equal to 4X plus 3Y. On substituting X as 0 and Y as 40, we get 120. Second point is 5, 30. Z is equal to 4X plus 3Y. I am putting X as 5 and Z as 30. We get 110. Third point is 20, 50. I am putting X as 20 and Y as 50. We get 125. Fourth point is 50, 0. I am putting X as 50 and Y as 0. We get 200. So minimum value of Z is 110 at the point 5, 30. So minimum cost is 110 rupees when units of food A is 5 and units of food B to be used is 30. This is our required answer. So this completes the session. Bye and take care.


to the likes of the land fund and also cases where communities are wanting to use community right to buy but also keep their options open for going through negotiated sales HIE's work in relation to assisting communities is very much like or work in community right to buy branch there's a certain amount of flexibility with the amount of cases that come in that have to be dealt with and we have to build in a fair amount of flexibility we build in flexibility into or work planning and manage it that way HIE as you said they're expecting more work and likewise Scottish government for community right to buy are also expecting a bit more work as well and with us is we reckon we'll have to be flexible in our ways of working Thank you Jamie to follow by Gavin Thank you convener I've taken anything from the experience of my political activity over the last few months I think it's been a sense that I think people out there are wanting to have a greater say in the factors that determine their lives so I think this bill is welcome if it can do anything to help achieve that and I have to say I think I have some sympathy with what the bill team are saying here I think if any bill is going to be presented with a financial memorandum it would be hard to say exactly the cost that it would be this one because of course if we're talking about empowering people we don't really know how they're going to respond to that so it must be difficult to quantify exact cost and I was quite taken with a term of phrase that internally you said it would be difficult to establish a demand profile I wonder what your perspective would be in relation to if you had done that and said this is what demand will be this is what it will cost could there have been a danger then that that could have been viewed as a upper limit and saying that's how much can be done here that might be viewed to be the opposite of empowerment yes I think in trying to do a demand profile we would be having to guess what was we might anticipate as low demand or might anticipate as high demand and it's not actually that easy to work out what that might be with respect to the number of the kind of rights we're giving communities to use in this for example on participation requests you might have an area which is not using participation requests at all and that might be because perhaps the public authorities in that area are actually very good at participation they're very good at engagement to do in that job already and actually to demand is low in that area but you may also be demand is low in another area because actually the capacity of the community isn't there so how would you assess the two different communities going in because there could be different parts and different profiles which are available five council I think in their evidence to you talked about there will be peaks and troughs as things kind of work through the system and see it I think as public organisations change and that's the way I took HIE's comments about improving their business the fact actually they'll need to change in order to ensure that the bill works so that when communities come to them it's not about engagement and consultation through their own mechanisms it's actually about what the community themselves want to do the difficulties involved I suppose the point I was making more is if even if you'd attempted to do that and you come up with a set of figures be it a low demand, high demand between the danger and that is that people start to think well that's what we've got to work with here it can't really work that way if it's in the hands of people out there they sort of leave this don't they? Yes absolutely the demand will be led by communities so we can't in that way if we set a limit on it it will confine it, it will box it in in that way it is why community capacity is so important actually throughout the process I think I'd also agree with what Ian said to the experience of community right to buy at the time that the bill was going through the last time they did try and work out what demand was and that was going to be I think it was 15 cases in the first year and five thereafter it has worked out quite differently because we're getting an average of 15 cases a year but we have to very much work flexibly with the communities that are out there and the demand because when I'm working with my branch I don't always know what the next cases are going to be when and when they come in but we utilise the resource very well we work flexibly but we don't set ourselves we want the legislation to be successful we want as many communities as possible to use it and it's for the communities to use and not for us to to use it but we don't put a benchmark to say that oh we've only got 14 cases this year therefore it's not successful it's about the communities themselves leading and making it successful Equally it's not so much a measure of success it's not a case of we've got 15 cases this year that's our upper limit come back next year it's quite a good parallel it's led at a community level presumably just turning to the one last question you can return to the cosla paper because obviously there is a degree of criticism in terms of quantifying cost but I did note at the end they themselves essentially echoed the point that you've made Mr Turner that essentially it's very difficult in fact I'll quote exactly this it's difficult to anticipate the update and demand that we've placed upon local authorities this makes it very difficult to quantify the financial cost that we've placed upon local government in complying with the legislation making the same point you and I thought it was very interesting that despite the criticism that seems to be in the cosla paper they've not made any attempt to say this is what it'll cost us so they've not been able to provide figures themselves have they provided any to you not separately no the information we have is the information financial memorandum and the additional information that the minister provided last week okay thank you thank you very much for that Gavin quite a lot of areas of public policy are demand driven and quite a lot of the bills that come before this committee are also demand driven too but what generally happens is that the sponsoring committee or the sponsoring bill team or minister do their very best to get an approximate amount and add to it caveats of what they think might be upper or lower reality so that we've got a best estimate sometimes with a number of caveats so why is that possible for other demand driven areas of policy but it's impossible here I think because the range would be too large to actually be considered worthwhile to some extent because we don't know what that demand profile is going to be therefore to put a range on it if participation requests for example we estimated could cost between 1,000 and 7,500 each depending on what the request does and what kind of area it covers now to say there's going to be 100 means it's between 100,000 and 250,000 across Scotland now it's a range but in itself you could say well it could be 1,000 and therefore it expands out but it only gets you so far on that we can't really go into any more detail which is more reasonable at this stage I think it's only going to be in practice that we see the sort of levels of demand that actually we can anticipate and actually see in practice Okay so you've just got no idea how many requests there could be a million participation requests I very much doubt there will be a million participation requests the bill provides the kind of through who can do it in terms of community control bodies and actually what they can do in terms of the requests they can bring forward and therefore the costs and benefits that go through the process will limit it to an extent and in doing the request for participation requests for example they need to say what experience they have in it and what benefit in terms of outcomes actually this process will bring to it and it's for the public authority to assess it on that basis to go through that process and to see what it is then Okay definitely could be a million Could there be 10,000 participation requests? I couldn't say it at this time I doubt it I think that would be at the very high end and therefore if you look at potential of risk for example I think that would be high impact but it would be very low likelihood So my point though is you seem to be able to quantify slightly better here now than you've done in the memorandum you must have some idea of what you think the likely range will be We can't because it is for the communities themselves and it's because it's not just geographic communities it's potentially communities of interest as well so there could be different groups who want to do different things in different ways and it will depend on the local circumstances in the local area which means there's too many factors there's too many variables to factor into what would be a reasonable demand profile in that way a reasonable idea of actually how many could come forward so we've gone back to what a unit cost might be and to us as I think as Cosler say it's not overly onerous in terms of what they might be to quantify participation requests and costs same comments in relation to asset transfer requests and costs Yes Again that will be limited by what we're talking about but because asset transfer isn't just in the bill isn't just about ownership for example it can be about leasing it can be about managing and it can be about using an asset so there is a range of things that communities may want to do within the provisions of the act and as they currently exist already so community ownership support service I think did 38 over a period of 3 years so that provides an idea but it's certainly not the range across Scotland because they're not involved in all of them and they only have limited funding to get involved in a certain number so as we go forward I think we will see actually what the bill actually does involve and we'll give you that but we can't give you a definite figure on how much you might be used Okay So the government says it's possible to give figures on any of these aspects how then is the funding given that your position is that it's impossible how is the funding mechanism going to work It's impossible, well we can't do it at this time if there was for local authorities if the new duties on the bill provide for and they can demonstrate and quantify what those additional duties have cost them then that would be part of the ongoing process in terms of local authority settlements Let's assume the bill is passed which I'm sure it will be when does it take effect is it financial year 1516 1516 will probably be the year we start to implement That's what I thought So tomorrow we are given the draft budget for financial year 1516 every single department every single every single council and so on, we will have amounts allocated to councils tomorrow for the draft budget So given that you're going to have to somehow quantify it tomorrow how much has been given in terms of the draft budget to local authorities to cover the obligations under this bill I think it comes within the current remit of local authorities therefore if anything particular additional has been done because we can't quantify or demonstrate what those additional burdens might be at this point So in terms of your understanding for tomorrow local authorities will be given zero pounds and zero pens asset transfers aren't new so they already have a new community capacity work they already do participation engagement with communities which is one of the reasons why it's difficult to extrapolate actually how much the bill add in terms of cost to this process and asset transfers happen already across Scotland so we're not anticipating in 2015-16 that there will be any particular financial burden and I think Cozzler are right in the fact that it's not going to be overly onerous and therefore could be encapsulated in their current resource however we do recognise that going forward there might be additional funding required The individual elements themselves were not overly onerous but the totality of it potentially was onerous is that not what I said? Yes but I don't think we agree with the potentially it will become significant I think we think the individual elements aren't overly onerous and as a totality themselves will not be particularly overly onerous and will be able to be used within their current resources with some addition if required because of the demand if it is more than what local authorities can cope with I suppose it would be the way putig it in that way As far as you're aware they're not getting any additional resources What if it turns out to be onerous what if Cozzler turned out to be right there is a huge upsurge in demand How concrete is the guarantee from the Scottish Government to underwrite the costs so that we're then having to be faced by councils? I think it goes through the normal discussions with local authorities through the annual budgeting process and they would have to demonstrate and quantify what was involved in that and then that would go into discussions with the Scottish Government about what that might involve This may be a question I have to ask the minister I don't know if he's giving evidence here but I can write to him Let's just say for example there is a huge upsurge in demand it does cost councils for the sake of argument several million pounds more than they had budgeted for If they can demonstrate that this up-church is a direct consequence of this bill is it your understanding that the Scottish Government will pay councils that money or is that something that would have to be negotiated? I think that's something that would have to go through the normal processes of negotiation with local authorities I don't think there's a particular guarantee about it but again I think that would be probably more a question for the minister than myself about it Sure, sure, OK, not beautiful Thank you You've established that the figures in the financial memorandum are unquantifiable and you've explained why they're unquantifiable and accept your explanation although it does leave me with some concerns about where, as Gavin says where does that leave us in terms of the overall budgets for local authorities but can you give us an example of previous legislation where the financial memorandum is in a similar situation to this where the potential costs are unquantifiable and was there something established in that legislation which took account of the potential for the budgets to come under pressure? I've looked and I haven't found a particular example OK, thanks Gene I was just going to ask there's a number of community groups and a growing number of community groups that are probably already without the empowerment bill but looking for example to take over local authority assets for community purposes involving in the area that I cover Highlands and Islands and you mentioned Highlands and Islands Enterprise will Scottish Enterprise have a similar role? I mean it's never had that community role that Highlands and Islands Enterprise has had and if this is successful I would imagine that they might have a role to play do you see that? They potentially could have a role to play Highlands and Islands Enterprise are often there as a funder often provide the money to actually do some of these asset transfers I don't know if Scottish Enterprise will be in that position they will be involved in the community planning partnerships and so they will be involved in setting the local outcome improvement plans which should hopefully set in context how some of this might work within those local areas they gave evidence I believe to local government committee last week and they talked about being an opportunity-led organisation and that's why they seek to go and seek to where opportunities are and to gain the maximum benefits from those and it could be an asset transfer in the Highlands and Islands certainly they could be involved in that if they see a role for themselves I'm just on trying to fix a budget in a sense I guess when the land fund community land fund was established it was established with a bit of a thumb in the air a finger in the air to judge nobody knew how many communities would apply or register interest in the land would that be right? Yes as I understand it I think there was some allocated I don't know if there was any calculations done as to as to how the figure was arrived at There are a number of critics of the bill at the moment that it doesn't actually go far enough that it's quite tame in the consultation period what were the issues that you think that were more radical that we have been left out of the bill? It's kind of hard for me to comment on what was radical and what wasn't I think Certainly some people were looking for more because we set up a process within the bill to go through if someone has an asset transfer that it is still the decision of the authority about whether the transfer takes place now what the bill ensures is that process and that decision is transparent and open I think some community groups would want more of an absolute we ask for it we get it and I think it's the same on community right to buy in particular on perhaps abandoned or neglected land where they may see that opening open to beyond that abandoned or neglected land but the bill doesn't provide for that Thank you That concludes questions from the committee but I've got one or two want to ask further it's just that Do you envisage that this bill will have an immediate impact in which there'll be a kind of rush to involvement or do you think this is something where demand is going to steadily rise as there's been any analysis of that Ben so you speak we've talked to a lot of community organisation and a lot of stakeholders some of them say there is a pent-up demand in their area and they may use the provisions and there's always a may involved in it because it depends on what they want to do and how those communities might want to use it and other areas say that it will take time because necessarily the capacity of the community to adapt to it to use it because the way the bill constructs it's obviously in very legal language just because it's a bill so a participation request it looks quite a process if you go through the bill provisions that will have to come out through guidance so that people can understand it and people can see it actually how it might be used and actually once people see them being used then it may catch on in those terms if they can see it having an impact in their local area then the demand may increase actually from that it will all depend on that I just ask one further question the FFM doesn't provide specific cost estimates for many parts of the bill and in some cases because costs are expected to be demand driven but standing order rule 9.3.2 states and I quote a bill shall on introduction be accompanied by a financial memoranda which shall set out the best estimates of the administrative compliance and other costs to which the provisions of the bill would give rise best estimates of the time scales what would be expected to arise and an indication of the margins of uncertainty in such estimates I'm just wondering in what regard does the financial memorandum meet that criteria for this bill The financial memorand did attempt in a number of places to put cost where we believed we could actually indicate what those costs were in terms of actually particularly in terms of what the current cost is so that you have an idea of actually what provision is made for it now and actually might be made for in future we did also caveat a number of times throughout the bill about those margins of uncertainty in order to actually to attempt to do those wide margins would actually be unreasonable and actually potentially misleading in terms of what the bill might cost in future and we did indicate a time scale Standing orders make clear that there should be best estimates I mean a committee's been kind of down this road before you know when a bill team's coming they've not been able to tell us you know figures it's quite frustrating from our point of view when we're supposed to be scrutinising legislation from a financial perspective and it's quite difficult when we're not really given much to get our teeth into so to speak you know do you know what you mean the frustration is from our side as well where it is difficult to quantify so what you're saying basically is it would be impossible to meet this criteria are you arguing that the criteria are actually met I would argue the criteria are actually met because it was accepted right okay thank you there any further points you would like to make before we wind up the session not matter okay well thank you very much for your evidence and colleagues for your questions I will now go into private session in order that we can complete the work of the committee and private as was agreed earlier on so I'd therefore like to have a couple of minutes recess to enable the public official report and witnesses to leave


Chris, you always dance on stage. Come on, do it. Good job. There you go. All back. And there he is. I can see the viewing back. I'm trying to touch the light. Yeah. Roman, try to get... Is there a puppy right here?


it's Elise from Six Sisters Stuff and today I'm making fudgy Nutella brownies. So to start off just heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit while you get the brownie batter ready. So I'm starting with a cup of melted butter, just two sticks of butter, and I'm just gonna whisk it while I add my other ingredients which are two cups of sugar, two teaspoons of vanilla extract and four eggs. So this is just my mom's basic brownie recipe that we kind of use as a base for our favorite brownies, but I thought it'd be fun to add a Nutella twist on it. So after your eggs are all whisked in we're going to sift our dry ingredients together. So I'm starting with a cup of flour and I'm adding three-fourths cup of cocoa powder and then a half teaspoon of baking powder and a half teaspoon of salt. So you just want to sift these together so they kind of get mixed up. Okay after your dry ingredients have been sifted together just add them into your one ingredients. So you'll just mix this together until it's combined, but you don't want to over mix it so your brownies aren't really flat. So the very last thing you're going to add is one cup of Nutella and I love Nutella. I don't know why I went so many years in my life without it because it is so good and I wish I could find a way to put it in every recipe. That's how good it is. So it's just one cup of Nutella which is pretty thick so to help it mix a little better I just put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to kind of thin it out. After all your ingredients are combined you're just going to pour the batter into a greased 9 by 13 baking dish and you'll put it in your preheated oven that's at 350 degrees for about 30 to 35 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. So it's super simple this makes an awesome dessert for the holiday season or any sort of year really. So we'll be back. Okay after your brownies are cooked take them out of the oven and let them cool completely before serving and I had a little friend volunteered to help try them do you want to taste them? Yeah. Okay tell me if they're yummy. Right what do you think? They're good. So you can find these fudging Nutella brownies on our website SixSistersStuff.com Thanks for watching. Can I get it? You can eat it all.
