to practice the workbook lessons of A Course in Miracles. We're following Jesus' mind-training workbook to learn how to judge not. We are learning to forgive, which means to release. We are learning to accept atonement, or that means the correction in our mind for the belief in the ego, the belief in the devil. The belief in Satan, that's the problem. You can't serve God and be one with God and believe in something that God didn't create. So it's quite strong for us. We're here to accept the atonement, accept the correction, and Jesus is quite clear in his text that what God creates is real, what God creates is spirit. The Christ idea is spirit, God is the cause, and Christ is the effect. There is nothing else anywhere or ever. There are perfect creations that even Christ has an eternity, so creation is a continual line of extension of spirit. Spirit creates spirit, creates spirit. You might think of it. As opposed to what we read about procreation and bodies, the different lineage that's talked about in the Old Testament, all the begats. This is letting go and releasing the begats, the belief in begatting, the belief in projection, the belief in linear extension because all extension is of God and all extension is of spirit. So I've been just rejoicing in that today.  Ascension is my natural inheritance. I and the Father are one means that we are one in spirit and God creates in spirit. And so because God creates in spirit, that's what is reality. There is no mind creating in the body or in form and there is no form that creates in the mind. It's all divinity that is reality. So this world is nothing more than letting go of the make-believe, letting go of the fiction, letting go of the invention and letting go of the temporal and opening up to eternal creation, eternal love, eternal life, oneness, spirit, you know, this is the great joy. This is where you can dance in the grace of God is in the remembrance of this. So my mind has been very, very focused in my prayers today on this. And it's so beautiful. I was thinking of some of my early days and travel back around, it was 1992. I was traveling around with a beautiful singer, Donna Marie Carey, and she would record all kinds of songs, workbook lesson songs and amazing album she has called Real Love. But I woke up this morning and I was thinking of a workbook lesson song that she sent me. I think she just got her guitar out and recorded it on a little recorder and then sent it to me. And so I hit that in my mind this morning. And the song goes something like, Love created me like itself. I cannot be anything else. I am as God created me. So love is all that I can be. Love, love, love created me. I am one. Love, love, love created me. I am love. And it just goes on, but it was just a beautiful melody in my mind this morning when I woke up. So I thought, oh, I'm excited. And then my friend Metta Owen messaged me as well on what's up sing. She had a song, a workbook lesson song for the first of the review lessons today, which I'll go over all five here in lesson 60. We have review of 46 through 50 today. And then I was just, yeah, getting all these beautiful warm fond memories of all the miracle working and extending of love that had the thundermere carried back in 1992 out on the road in the United States doing course of miracles gatherings and shining God's love, sharing God's light. And so I think also I will dip into my library here and see if I can pull out one of the songs that she sang many times when we traveled. She has actually so many songs that are so beautiful and as well as Metta, Slava, Eric, and Ricky. And oh my gosh, there's so many great songs that are inspired by God's love. Helen Unison had just albums full of channeled songs and all this love and light pouring through. And so we'll get a little taste at the end when we had a little meditation at the end of the review lesson. So let's go to lesson 60. These ideas are for today's review. God is the love in which I forgive. God does not forgive because he has never condemned. The blameless cannot blame and those who have accepted their innocence see nothing to forgive. Yet forgiveness is the means by which I will recognize my innocence. It is the reflection of God's love on earth. It will bring me near enough to heaven that the love of God can reach down to me and raise me up to him. God is the strength in which I trust. It is not my own strength through which I forgive. It is through the strength of God in me which I am remembering as I forgive. As I begin to see, I recognize his reflection on earth. I forgive all things because I feel the stirring of his strength in me. And I begin to remember the love I chose to forget but which has not forgotten me. There is nothing to fear. How safe the world will look to me when I can see it. It will not look anything like what I imagine I see now. Everyone and everything I see will lean toward me to bless me. I will recognize in everyone my dearest friend, what could there be to fear in a world that I have forgiven and that has forgiven me. God's voice speaks to me all through the day. There is not a moment in which God's voice ceases to call on my forgiveness to save me. There is not a moment in which his voice fails to direct my thoughts, guide my actions and lead my feet. I am walking steadily on toward truth. There is nowhere else I can go because God's voice is the only voice and the only guide that has been given to his son. I am sustained by the love of God. As I listen to God's voice, I am sustained by his love. As I open my eyes, his love lights up the world for me to see. As I forgive, his love reminds me that his son is sinless. And as I look upon the world with the vision he has given me, I remember that I am his son. God is the love in which I forgive. God is the strength in which I trust. There is nothing to fear. God's voice speaks to me all through the day. I am sustained by the love of God. Today, I thought for support for our day of practice, I would go to the text and do a search. So I searched Atonement and thought I would read to you some of the sweet ideas that came from Jesus around Atonement. Atonement means correction. Atonement works all the time and in all dimensions of time. Atoning means undoing, ha-ha, undoing. The undoing of fear is an essential part of the atonement value of miracles. They thus atone for your errors by freeing you from your nightmares. By atoning for lack, they establish perfect protection. This places you under the atonement principle where perception is healed. They thus correct or atone for the faulty perception of lack. The miracle is an expression of an inner awareness of Christ and the acceptance of his atonement. Jesus tells us, I am in charge of the process of atonement which I undertook to begin. The reason you come before me is that I do not need miracles for my own atonement, but I stand at the end in case you fail temporarily. My part of the atonement is the canceling out of all errors that you could not otherwise correct. When you have been restored to the recognition of your original state, you naturally become part of the atonement yourself. The ability is the potential, the achievement is its expression and the atonement which is the natural profession of the children of God is the purpose. The forgiven are the means of the atonement. Those who are released must join in releasing their brothers for this is the plan of the atonement.  Thank you, Jesus. You have a role in the atonement which I will dictate to you. Atonement undoes all errors in disrespect and thus uproots the source of fear. The impersonal nature of miracles is because of the atonement itself is one uniting all creations with the creator. The miracle joins in the atonement by placing the mind in the service of the Holy Spirit. The atonement restores spirit to its proper place. The purpose of the atonement is to restore everything to you or rather to restore it to your awareness. When the atonement has been completed, all talents will be shared by all the sons of God. So we can also move on to a beautiful section and of course a lot of these lines come in here and these are kind of, I'd say section three of chapter one, Atonement and Miracles is really a summary of the beautiful ideas I was just sharing. Atonement and Miracles, Jesus is speaking here just directly to us. I am in charge of the process of the atonement which I undertook to begin. When you offer a miracle to any of my brothers, you do it to yourself and me. The reason you come before me is that I do not need miracles for my own atonement but I stand at the end in case you fail temporarily. My part in the atonement is the canceling out of all errors that you could not otherwise correct. When you have been restored to the recognition of your original state, you naturally become part of the atonement itself. As you share my unwillingness to accept error in yourself and others, you must join the great crusade to correct it. Listen to my voice, learn to undo error and act to correct it. The power to work miracles belongs to you. I will provide the opportunities to do them but you must be ready and willing. Doing them will bring conviction in the ability because conviction comes through accomplishment. The ability is the potential, the achievement is this expression and the atonement which is the natural profession of the children of God is the purpose. Heaven and earth shall pass away means that they will not continue to exist as separate states. My word which is the resurrection and the life shall not pass away because life is eternal. You are the work of God and his work is wholly lovable and wholly loving. This is how a man must think of himself in his heart because this is what he is. The forgiven are the means of the atonement. Being filled with spirit, they forgive in return. Those who are released must join in releasing their brothers for this is the plan of the atonement. Miracles are the way in which minds that serve the Holy Spirit unite with me for the salvation or release of all of God's creations.  You have a role in the atonement which I will dictate to you. Ask me which miracles you should perform. This spares you needless effort because you will be acting under direct communication. The impersonal nature of the miracle is an essential ingredient because it enables me to direct its application. And under my guidance, miracles lead to the highly personal experience of revelation. A guide does not control what he does direct leaving it up to you to follow. Lead us not into temptation means recognize your errors and choose to abandon them by following my guidance. Error cannot really threaten truths which can always withstand it. Only the error is actually vulnerable. You are free to establish your kingdom where you see fit but the right choice is inevitable if you remember this. Spirit is in a state of grace forever. Your reality is only spirit. Therefore you are in a state of grace forever. Atonement undoes all errors in disrespect and thus uproots the source of fear. Whenever you experience God's reassurances as threat it is always because you are defending misplace or misdirected loyalty. When you project this to others you imprison them but only to the extent to which you reinforce errors they have already made. This makes them vulnerable to the distortions of others since their own perception of themselves is distorted. The miracle worker can only bless them and this undoes their distortions and frees them from prison. You respond to what you perceive and as you perceive so shall you behave. The golden rule asks you to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. This means that the perception of both must be accurate. The golden rule is the rule for appropriate behavior. You cannot behave appropriately unless you perceive correctly. Since you and your neighbor are equal members in one family as you perceive both so will you do to both. You should look out from the perception of your own holiness to the holiness of others. Miracles arise from a mind that is ready for them. By being united this mind goes out to everyone even without the awareness of the miracle worker himself. The impersonal nature of miracles is because the atonement itself is one uniting all creations with their creator. As an expression of what you truly are the miracle places the mind in a state of grace. The mind then naturally welcomes the host within and the stranger without. When you bring in the stranger he becomes your brother. That the miracle may have effects on your brothers that you may not recognize, it's not your concern. The miracle will always bless you. Miracles you are not asked to perform have not lost their value. They are still expressions of your own state of grace but the action aspect of the miracle should be controlled by me because of my complete awareness of the whole plan. The impersonal nature of miracle mind in us ensures your grace but only I am in a position to know where they can be bestowed. Miracles are selective only in the sense that they are directed towards those who can use them for themselves. Since this makes it inevitable that they will extend them to others the strong chain of atonement is welded. However, this selectivity takes no account of the magnitude of the miracle itself because the concept of size exists on a plane that is itself unreal. Since the miracle aims at restoring awareness of reality it would not be useful if it were bound by laws that govern the error it aims to correct. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Okay, now for a little music meditation. First, we're going to listen to Nedda Bowen's rendition of the first review lesson that we went over. God is the love in which I forgive. And then I will play a song for you from my dear friend, Donna Marie Carey. When we were on the road this song was one that she sang of the many songs that she received from Jesus. And yeah, that's, it's called only in the name of love. So first let's start with God is the love in which I forgive by Nedda Bowen. If this is the great need of this world it is a world of fear, condense, and love for peace. It unknowns what fear is for all of us. Return in the minds of God. Wow, let's go to Donna Marie Carey, only in the name of love. 32 years ago, Donna Marie Carey and I were traveling around. The body of David is 66 now, but wow, we traveled around and yeah, she received from Jesus a beautiful songs and hit her guitar while we were out on the road and she was taking them down. Then after quite a bit of time on the road, weeks on the road, she went back to Owensboro, Kentucky to record the album. And the album is real love, so beautiful. So beautiful. Yeah, maybe we'll just treat ourselves to, these songs are just in my heart forever and ever and ever. Let's go to the next one on the album. If you only knew, my earth parents named me after David in the Bible, King David at the Old Testament and some of you know he wrote the songs. David was into songs, poetry and songs. It's so funny when I picked up the course in 1986 and had this huge tsunami of love pour over me. Yeah, it wasn't long, about five years later, I was on the road and traveling and sharing and then around 1992, Donna Marie Carey and I were traveling and she was singing these amazing songs. She brought her guitar along composing, really just receiving songs from Jesus as we went along the road and recording this album. There's been so many singers, songwriters sprinkled over the parable of David. I can't think of a happier way than to travel the world and go to a first around the United States, Canada, then Argentina and then around the world, total of 44 countries. But there's been so many, many, many singers and songwriters even now with our community. We have the Rise Band that's gonna be going up to the Strawberry Fields Music and Enlightenment Festival movies too, coming up in July, 12th, 13th, 14th. We're gonna have a lot of music there to celebrate and worship God and to feel the love of God pour through us. And as I look back over the years, yeah, with Donna Marie Carey, we just traveled and traveled around to the South, Eastern United States, all the way down to Florida, starting off from her hometown in Owensboro, Kentucky and going all the way down there and then trips further up to the West and yeah. Over the years, so many gatherings in homes and backyards and basements and barbecues, churches, synagogues, ashrams, oh my gosh, all over, so many. Just recently I was graced with Alex Sarah who was touring all around through Mexico and came and he told me he was listening to my, my audios and watching my videos for 10 years. And wow, his music, we all whole community just rejoiced with Alex Sarah's music but there's just so many. I think with Donna Marie, we also, there was so many songs. This one was kind of an anthem. We pretty much would see that the people wanted to hear this wherever we went and this was why she titled her album, Real Love, but this is the song, this is kind of the anthem. Let's listen to Real Love. You can see why Jesus turned that into an anthem in a whole album. Real Love, that's what it's all about. The love of God, Real Love. Oh my gosh, let's continue. Another one, we're still back in the 1990s here but let's try again another love song for God forever in love. It's like a love song marathon. See, a decade later in the 2000s. I have my dear friend Helen Ahunison put out first of many spectacular albums of devotional love songs to God. So, oh my gosh, there's just so many songs here. Let's try one from the 2000s now. This is Helen Ahunison sharing the joy. Shining the truth, say. Then let's go a decade, over a decade from that, we're zooming through the whole decades. My gosh, let's pick one up here. Here's one from Sava called Coming Home. I'm thinking back to Oman and Shanti. They were, yeah, many, many, this back going back to the 80s. I have to go to my artist and oh my gosh. There's a song called The Promise. This goes back to the early, early days, the Barbara and Robert Barley days, Oman and Shanti. Oman, Ken, and Shanti. I went up to Mercer Island and Shanti gave me just an individual concert. But the last of our review lessons today is I am sustained by the love of God. And in this world of seeming scarcity and lack and survival, we need a reminder that I am sustained by the love of God. That's number 50. That was our last of our review lessons today.  You're going to hear Shanti's extraterrestrial, otherworldly voice. And this is a passage from A Course in Miracles. And some of you remember from the Bible, those beautiful sections, have looked at the lilies of the field. They neither spin nor toil. And this is a song for us in modern times. This came out probably in the early 1980s, way back a decade before the Donna Marie Kerry album I Played for You. So let's listen to Shanti. We'll close with this today. This is from the Course. Okay. Well, that's a good way to remember lesson 50. So remember, these are our lessons today. This is the first review section, part one. And we've just gone through the first 50 lessons of A Course in Miracles workbook. We've reviewed them. And we're on the last five of the 50. God is the love in which I forgive. Thank you, Neda, for helping us with that one. God is the strength in which I trust. There is nothing to fear. God's voice speaks to me all through the day. And I am sustained by the love of God. Just remember that beautiful Oman and Shanti song, nothing you need will be denied to you, not one seeming difficulty, but will melt away before you reach it. That's being sustained by the love of God. Before you reach it, before you reach the difficulty of the challenge, it's already handled in the miracle. That's why it's a Course in Miracles from Jesus. It's because we are miracle workers and we remember God first by letting Jesus perform miracles through us and then going inside to the revelatory love and light of God. Thank you, God. Thank you for everything. God bless you. Have a beautiful day. I hope the music meditations were lifting your heart up like they were mine.


Members from Fleet Activity Sasebo joined the local community in paying tribute to those who have passed during the annual Oban Festival. Wait, because to show how much love you feel to the people who passed away. During the event, Candlelit lanterns are sent down the Sasebo River in honor of the deceased. This gave American sailors and their families the opportunity to pay tribute to past loved ones and participate in a significant piece of Japanese heritage. No, I think it helps us connect better with the local community and it's part of the reason that a lot of sailors, including myself, volunteered to come over here to Japan to learn about. Members of CFAS continue to strengthen the bond between the U.S. Navy and the people of Japan. Petty Officer Gabriel Cotico, Fleet Activity Sasebo, Japan.


Hello, my name is Chantel Victoria Bright and I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. My research looks at the gender, water security, and peace nexus in conflict-affected countries using Liberia as a case study.  Therefore, my research is exploring water insecurity and gender-based violence. I will conduct walking interviews with women in the southeast region of Liberia, which will provide an opportunity for me to understand the challenges faced in water insecurity and gender-based violence. This study is important to the scholarship of gender, water, and peace nexus in fragile and conflict-affected situations in Sub-Saharan Africa. The research will increase the understanding of water security and feminist peace-building interventions, increase environmental awareness as a feminist issue, and offer an African eco-feminist perspective. Thank you.

That's a beautiful thing and you're getting a spring up in walden's pond right now That's still a long way off the uh today. It's damp rainy uh 50 degrees. Oh my god You know, that's typical uh early spring in boston. All right, listen I had one of my friends last night text me right and He texts me in his backyard a motorcycle A boat in a jet ski and he says obi. I'm getting ready for for summer. Hello Yeah, it takes a couple more months. Hey listen In in in the month of april we've had i've already lost track of the uh the entire month of April 30 days uh 20 days had some rain Really man, that's intense. Yeah, it's uh, it's a record breaker. Yeah, at least it wasn't snow for me sis Still silver lining in those rain clouds. What can you do? So new mods, right? Yeah, it's a bad one here. Uh, I'd like to do both the bear and the well I don't want to call it the bull case, but I I'd like to move it out on a short cover Uh rally and about do you think it will head for 29 first? No, uh, no, no, let's see. So you lost 28 your highs 39 Um, what you have here is that you know, we we came down in the last two weeks You get down from this is 35 bucks. You're coming into what you want to see. Well, this is pretty good actually 29 92 let me see what you did yesterday So he did 30 53 today 15 million shares, okay So we're doing a test today of this June 50, uh, january 15 swing low It looks to me like you're going to get a rejection. You're not going to get the volume. That's for sure, which is good I mean, we did 15 million down there. You're at 1.1. That'll do about 7 million out here today. Let me see what they did yesterday I think it was 13.5. 13, okay Um, you definitely want it underneath this Underneath this I won't do 15. It should do less than 13 too. Yeah If I put this on a weekly Yeah, this is this this is still in a consolidation, john So it's not the end of the world. No, no the reason I got stuck in this. I mean it You know with all this this merger stuff going somewhat decently and then all the confusion it hit 37 plus And then it hit 36 plus and I stuck it out. I I missed I put a limit order in At 38, of course, I didn't get it Then they announced a special 88 cents a shared dividend right And I stuck for that. Well, you know, that's enormous. Yeah So a big deal I collected the dividend, but then it didn't hold the 34 and it broke But all its peers the healthier peers of all Taken a quite a bath No, they have When you take a look like when I take a look at the equity the gold equity market right now, though It looks to me like it would bottomed out Um And we'll find out This is the first day, you know, if we go over to the dollar for a second This is the first day that the dollar has any type of volume in it and we're going lower You know, we've done 10 000 contracts. That's a lot of contract volume for quite a past 10 30 in the morning It won't be a monster, but this this thing will come in at a 20 000 and we haven't done 20 000 contracts in a while So that should be the situation that is Saying that the fed's still going to be really dovish tomorrow And if that's the case, then you know gold still will go higher and that that dollar You know, we'll see whether it gives it up. I mean it hasn't given it up yet But yeah, the encouraging thing john is that even when the dollar was up Even when the gold contract was down These gold equities didn't break swing lows They can't you know the the ugliest one was heckler if you want to want to just watch something Heckler's going to be one to watch the reason being folks is this This was this, you know took took quite a beating and this is you know, this is not no small stock This this this equity here, you know, you trade a two dollar stock But the bottom line is that they're taking 152 million a quarter, you know, so it just has to do with Their supply of silver coming out of the ground is too expensive So if this equity here, you know, it got a bounce last thursday um, if this can get inside this, uh 220 Then it's saying okay the weakest stock Is not going any lower and that's encouraging for the whole business. You know what i'm saying sure that makes sense Yeah Then again heckler's been around since like 1898 that no they have but that that's why I think watching it is so cool because it got smoked and it's like okay, man this this stock is in trouble if that Just like I said If a stock takes in 600 million been around forever real company that's getting smoked Well, guess what if that can come off the bottom? That is encouraging for the rest of them because that is the weakest Gold equity of a gold silver equity that i've seen out there, you know And what are we looking at it numad on the on the quote unquote the bullish side or at least the dead cat bounce How high well i think i think it's easy to stay in the consolidation the top of the consolidation is you know This uh 36 to that spike high 36 75 Okay, and if that's what you What should happen here john is this This should start moving quick meaning all these gold equities and silver equities and I expect numad to move right along with it You know, okay, that's that's encouraging. Well, i'm certainly not throwing it away into a bottom No, no, no because if you bring this into a longer basis the bottom line is that you know You're still in this consolidation And you they give you uh not that it's much but they give you 1.8% dividend if you have to wait for uh six months Hey, that's about exactly and we're in a zero rate environment. So definitely, you know, okay Can I ask you rfi here? This one is I called you on this in uh in january And uh for some reason I missed it. I tried to fine tune it and pick it up cheaper Uh, you said to buy it at 11. Look at the move this thing went to 13 Uh, let's round it off. Let's call it 13 50. Okay, let's see. It's closed in an engine company Multiple year high. Yeah, high total return in place. There's some contact current income capital appreciation The fund invests 75 percent is equity equity related securities of real estate companies. Okay, so I see what it is. Okay. So oh, this is cool. Okay. So What you have here, this is the fund that american tower is the biggest one. That's that's that's a cool company That's so american tower.  They they rent them all then they get prologix, which is a huge warehouse sx is uh Just a property trust equinox. Okay, so extra space. I see what we have right so Yeah, it's a one-way trade here. Interesting. Well about uh on a number of occasions It had very sharp pullbacks recently to went to I believe it was 12 70 or 12 80 Of course, that was tricky. I didn't know which way it would go and then it it went to this You know about 13 50 level So I am thinking unless it's just too dangerous, although it has a monthly eight percent dividend, which is fantastic I mean eight percent for the year monthly dividend of eight cents If should it pull back to 12 80 again Buy it this thing looks to me like it wants to go to let me see 13 30 you get like three bucks Oh, it's 15 70. Yeah at 12 in the 12 area get it. This thing looks like it wants to go to 15 bucks there on 15 70 So try to pick it up below 13. Yes. Yes Clicking brother Thank you. Thank you. Hi folks.

What's putting that kind of emphasis on the nasdaq. Yeah, right? Maybe uh the google of google's We bring this baby in here. So you get google down 8.2 percent. Yeah, um, you get win off 3.5 It's going on macao western digital down 103. Yeah, right? That's and then you get on the upside you get nxp semiconductor up seven and a half percent Inside corp up 4.5 Pfizer up 2.4 and xilinx up 2.3 xilinx is already can we go into win and see what's going on? Yeah, totally Do they come up with earnings or something or downgrade or something's going on right? So you're down 5 I see I see their date earnings today for I saw 4 30 so they're probably out. No No, I guess not boston decision. Look at this One is one they're doing uh endorsement for two proxy firms proposed boy changes at the gambling giant Burnishes its badden Corporate reputation ahead of a heavily anticipated regulatory decision. Yeah, so this comes of course mass chooses I haven't made friends as you do still up there So, um, they have a massachusetts gaming commission and they I believe when you know all this stuff happened with steve win in corporate culture and board Governance and I said hold on a second We got to put this license on hold for a second and make sure that you know this huge casino that we just allowed to come in Um, yeah, and so um, they're spending five billion dollars. You don't have the license talk about I know But guess what when you're running that type of show and really what it spoke to and we said before Zero corporate board governance. So that I think was the bigger worry You know in terms of just that individual case that the board so The boston decision shaping up as a major issue for australian investors in James james packer's crown resorts if the commission clears when it could reopen a path for the company to resume The abruptly aborted talks over potential merger. Okay. I remember when those came out as well Right. Um, yeah windsman under heavy scrutiny since january of last year of its handling of allegations having to do its founder Um, this includes changes in management the board as well as large donations to charities probably should make up for some of that Goodwill So let's see the spokesman for the massachusetts regulator and leon driscoll said the commission said the commission's in the final stations Yeah, what are you guys? Sorry? I'm a lot. The commission scheduled to meet on wednesday. Okay. That's tomorrow. Yes. That is tomorrow Uh, and check that out. So they plan to open in june. It's 3.7 billion Uh, excuse me. What is that 2.7 billion? Why do they have 3.7 in parentheses? I wonder Um, usually those are different currencies On core boston harbour casino, which will be forced to sell if the license is withdrawn That is going to be a high stakes regulatory meeting Look at a hundred million dollar fine. They're thinking They're shaking them down. Yeah saying maybe fine them, but don't kick them out. Yeah Send it over to my favorite charity Yeah, right pretty interesting. Um So i wonder why it's down three and a half percent though. It doesn't seem like that would be Interesting nonetheless, let's let's see what else is there. That's Well, that's actually lvs. That's we'll be able to kind of tell we're gonna and they do have their earnings though today Or was that the 52 week high? I think um I just seen 52 week high or one of them. No date earnings. Yeah after the close probably I'm saying after the close. So let's go take a look at apple. So uh apple speaking of after the close Yeah, all right. You get it. We have action out here. I'm gonna jump around real quick But the expected move on apple I pulled it up We're in that analyze tab on the td ameritrade thinkorswim platform Oh, it's going up It was about eight dollars and 80 cents when I pulled this up right after we talked to kevin at 1015 So look at that in the last 20 minutes, right? You've had and it's climbing man We're at eight dollars and 78 cents. It's the expected move. Okay, and this has to do with Positive or negative right? It's kind of what it would with the market's pricing in if you wanted to get action on both sides It's going to cost you where you better expect to get more than that move if you're going to make money on a volatility Right because you're paying that type of premium for that type of you know implied volatility basically Um, and it's remarkable that we've now gone 40 cents Which is 40 cents in both directions. So the markets opened up basically 80 cents extra movement in the last 20 minutes Um, it'd be interesting to see how that moves throughout the day for that expected move As apple comes up with those earnings after the close. Yeah. Yeah, and so there let's And keeping in mind as you go through it 4 30 So if you're looking to treat the futures, you know, sometimes those nasdaq futures as yesterday would have been a decent opportunity With google coming out right after the bell apple 4 30 those numbers are going to be dropped Yeah, so it looks to me like I don't see apple going higher I don't see it going a lot lower 197 looks like it's somewhere in here. You get like that's the last time It was volume this 197 to 184 You know, we'll see. Yeah, but uh, it's had quite a comeback from the december lows So no doubt about that along with everything right along with everything Let's see what they're doing to amazon because when google came out amazon was down 10 bucks. Okay Down 19. Okay. Yeah, man. That's nothing. No, it's one percent But it is nothing in the context of apple being down. Uh, excuse me google being down, you know, nine percent or whatever Shot volume on the way back too, so uh GE GE, you know, they're all yapping about GE, but the bottom line is look at this thing I mean like the headlines of google is they it's a comeback story. It's like really I haven't dug into it too much You gotta gap up to 10 53 the last high up here was uh 11 29. So let's see what they're saying Yeah, I mean we are what is that like 10 12 percent in the last three days Yeah, it's got to be So let's say GE jumped after revealing that it burned less cash to stop the uh, which is a big deal Especially for a company like this, right? Which is exactly, um boasting the chief of the calculus, uh, effort to rejuvenate the ailing manufacturer GE's business and industrial business went through 1.2 2 billion in cash the first quarter of the company said as a reported earnings and reaffirmed 2019 Financial forecast that was better than wall C's expectation of a 2.9 billion burned. Well, that's that's that's so many paws there because that is like Whoa, yeah, that's one Two yeah 1.7 billion extra right in terms of uh And last year I guess they came in at 1.7 billion. They burned. So yeah, so that's that's not oh, definitely. It's just that Yeah, let's go see what else is okay. No just go back I was just going to keep going with uh, I just wanted to see what they uh That no we're down further, right Yeah, just what it was driven by so it's driven largely by timing as And this is where I had heard some of the timing of things as orders and the gas power and other businesses came in earlier than expected So to be aware there that if uh, you're collecting some of your receivables, maybe earlier than you thought Well, guess what happens next quarter When that's what they want. Yeah, the relative strength will balance out over the course of the year Yeah, because that was such an enormous beat. So that's probably no change to 2019 expectations. Interesting. Yeah, that's where I want It's still haven't stopped messing with their numbers That's the bottom line. So uh, yeah, and when you're pulling in that type of cash, it's going to go to the bottom line too So they topped expectations for profit and sales adjusted earnings 14 cents a share compared with nine um revenue fell following 1.8 percent to 27.3. They were looking for 27.1 Billion but again, that's only 1.2 billion difference there and what what was their cash burn difference 1.7. Yeah, right So we'll see what happens next quarter. Yeah Yeah, so let's see what else we got out here This is some of the higher volume equities out here today Oh, look at that. Transitions getting smoked down 73 cents Eight bucks. Let's go Look at this baby I saw something about cash and their headline as well. Maybe not so on the good side like these guys in diamond offshore I've got smoked We don't need rigs outside. Look at this stock It was 154 dollars eight bucks Stay right there folks.

Yeah, exactly.  No for sure And you're gonna see this is this is one of his classics folks is that we won't have this out here Well, he loves preferred stock. It's worth it. He does How can you go wrong? Why not right? Who doesn't love anything preferred? That's the definition of preferred you prefer it Right and what happens with The way he normally does that. Okay. Oh, here it is. It is it's out here that okay, he Gets the shares, but then he makes them pay Interest to him simultaneously dividends. They're gonna call it. So he's got a preferred dividend of 8% a year So he's making 8% on his money He gets the stock he gets both Yeah, yeah, so one buffet. Let's see gonna invest 10 billion in oxy to help the Oil producer in its 38 billion bid for anadaco. That's pretty good. Yeah one one investors getting a quarter of it Yeah, not bad not bad at all and I wonder what is percentage of shares. So he's gonna receive 100 000 shares We'll jump over to a second. I wonder what percentage of the company. That's right because that's gonna all that's right Because what also can happen with preferred is that one preferred share doesn't have to be one common stock share Sure, and I think it might be for voting purposes It might be just because they haven't mentioned it outside of the dividends But it's interesting that you know and just looking at uh, Occidental I think they were like about 43 billion dollar market cap. Okay, so in fairness though He's not buying 25% of the company no for 10 billion which you almost could right in theory, right? So he's taking like the different route there with give me 100 000 shares Maybe I'll invest that but then you're gonna pay me back. There's a lot of either way He always seems to put together the best deals in the house And it's always companies that might need a little bit of capital At a time and and you know if you're gonna on the flip side, right? If you're gonna come in and try and compete against a company like chevron To buy an oil company or a natural energy company, you better have some some Ammunition behind you, right? Because chevron I think 220 to 130 billion and that's all the renter gets talked about to say hey listen I know you want to hire bid, but how are you gonna? Develop all these resources that you're buying if you're only a 30 to 40 billion dollar company when you know Takes that much money. So the they're smaller size and financial resources make the offer riskier for antidarko shareholders That's what they're kind of leveraging here if you're an antidarko shareholder and um Yeah, so we'll see what happens. So before the announcement came out My opinion was that chevron would have to increase their bid to be competitive That's the cio of somebody which manages. Um, I think this point You would consider chevron's bid dead as in uh, he's quite a player to come into things and if Because the one thing is that that adds credibility now to say hey Buffett's not going to let you buy these resources and then not fully develop them, right? So the capital now is there Which I think was the biggest worry right for occidental because occidental has always been a higher value, right? and you can imagine the Occidental as well as the antidarko sharehold is saying okay buffets in I like the deal. Yeah, I mean if they're wavering. Oh, no, I agree And because it was the only risk was oh man, can this company Do they have the funding? Do they literally the question was are they big enough to develop all these assets the way they're going to be needed to? Well, that ant that that question just got answered no doubt and chevron's say, uh, we'll take our billion dollar breakup fee I know the investors say now. We don't have to worry about the risks of a big development We'll just take our billion dollars We'll move on and fight another day with another numbers the numbers are amazing 10 figures It's like I had to do in my head 10 figures to not do a deal to not do a deal one followed by 9 zeros put it in the bank It's a good negotiation. That's a good negotiation. That guy should get a bonus that woman Whatever that that person should get a bonus whoever uh, and I know it's probably not standard, right? But doesn't mean it's easy to put into those contracts. No. Yeah 30 a bond so a 30 a bond out here today folks that rejected lower price Yesterday came down with light volume, you know these these are setting up for tomorrow I you know, I expect you're going to see higher price low yield And this that's going to be really what what's in the statement and then what is that what is definitely happening is that uh, every Fed meeting now has a news conference. Yes, they're live. Yeah every one of them So there's going to be a lot of questions. There's going to be a lot of questions about Always you've been here lately is that yeah the Fed has to change this has to change that has to change The guys sure I it's going to be interesting to see the play in between the Questions being asked and how Powell's uh always is interesting especially as uh Things fluctuate so much. It seems with every meeting these days in the last six nine months incredible fluctuations There's no doubt the euro so the euro got back inside its range folks this morning, you know that uh, you know Claught its way back inside that 111 77.  Well, you look at today's where 111 76 is the low So we start literally a tick below that 111 77. It's been mostly upward action. Right and you know, that was What it seems that we've had here. Well, we have had you had the dollar break top side couldn't hold it The euro broke downtown couldn't hold it Um The yen now the before you go away I just have to say though that that channel man lower lows lower highs like it doesn't get much cleaner And you could even go back here. You could even go back here. I mean that is a direct line downward So it'll be interesting to see what happens as we're kind of right at now the top end of that uh that trend line No doubt.  No, come on. That's just simple No, no, no, no, no, no, that's not how it works. That's that's simple That's anybody who can see can draw a line to the top of those charts. Let's not overstate what uh No, that's I that's not the market man. That's what I'm trying to say. It's so simple You don't need to know anything about market to say. Where is the trend line on that chart? I mean, I just wanted that That's how simple The uh the yen, you know, so we have japan close for a week 10 days even it's 10 days.  Yes, it's and and there's good reason why it shouldn't be because you need liquidity to know What a market at you know price that there's a reason well because we're so used to Markets pricing every day too. Well, it's because we used to a functional market. I mean, that's that's what right I mean, that's it's it's the reason why I'm joking. That's a scary notion, man because my goodness, especially if There's some volatility over those 10 days. Yeah Or good, you know as in something crazy, right? You can get the other side of the trade, you know, no doubt about that Uh right now, uh, let's just I'm just curious senators wise Still look at it. It's nothing. Yeah nasdaq, but now it's down eight tenths of one percent. That's nothing not bad when you have Google down. Yeah, eight or nine percent apples afternoon though.

Excuse me. Well, let me just put yeah It says yeah 880 it was to 9 now 940. Um that expected move in both directions. Yeah Mike's getting a little more Make any pay for that premium man Make you want to lock in defined risk to the upside and the downside Give me a little bit more cash because we're getting a little bit nervous And maybe it's just nervous.

Yeah, you're getting it at 570.

I would now like to get to our online tour. Our colleagues from Rieke are already here. So we have an online virtual tour of the exhibition Fiume Fantastica, a phenomena of the city, which is also presented by our supporter and partner Rieke 2020, a European capital of culture for those who haven't been with us the first days. This is where we should have been with our real on-site conference. And I'm very happy that the organizers made it happen that we can see some of the museums and some of the exhibitions, at least virtually. So the exhibition follows the last 150 years of Rieke's urban history, during which the city experienced radical growth and became an important transport and industrial center. Felix and Rieke, can you hear me? Try again. Can you hear us now? Ah, wonderful. Obviously, but it's fine. You can hear us right. Okay, perfect. Thank you for the introduction. Hi, we are here representing the University of Rieke and the Rieke 2020 project. Thank you very much for having us here. It's a pleasure being here with you. So obviously, as you said, in the announcement and the introduction, Rieke is the 2020 capital of culture, which is probably the worst year to be a capital of culture off. So we've been trying to do most of the programs that we envisioned, at least most of the bigger ones, which are, I guess, more important to local and regional aspects of the whole project. Obviously, since a lot of the people who are meant to be here are either not allowed to travel, or also have difficulties in their work and everything. So we are here presenting the Fuma Fantastica phenomenon of the city exhibition, which is a pretty interesting story, not just because it's an exhibition, but also because the story of how we get there and why is it so important for even the place in which we are currently, which is not a typical museum. We'll get to that point a little bit later. But first, a small introduction on to why we are speaking in front of the university as well here. The Rieke 2020 project, which was kind of confirmed in 2016, was envisioned and conceptualized in the sense that it has a lot of, I guess, a lot of partnerships with local organizations, but also some important institutions, which are museums and also the university itself. It's not always the case that the university is a strategic partner of the Capital Culture Project, since obviously it's more focused on education and research, but it was very important for us to have that aspect as well, because the history of Rieke and also the many narratives that are present here are very important to kind of untangle and understand, because Rieke is on a transition. The whole city has been, as you said, also earlier and sort of an industrial and transport hub, and so by losing that in the last couple of decades, we are obviously transitioning into some other, I guess, identity of the city, which has not been clear until yet what is it is going to be more cultural tourism or more education type of city or some new industries. And so in order to kind of have these answers, it was very important for us to the whole project of Rieke 2020 to kind of try to find these answers to typical stuff like who we are, what are we doing here, what's our potential, and things like that. So the university has a large role in that aspect, because it obviously has a lot of resources and disposals that many cultural institutions do not. So we have access to students, to study programs, to various experts in various fields who were able to kind of give their contribution to the whole endeavor that we had in the last four years here. And so Moderna and I have been working for the university kind of coordinating these many experts and many artists as well and many people and partners and institutions, not just in Croatia, but also abroad, to kind of try to see what our program or at least our program, or part of the program is going to be. So we kind of concentrated on this sweet and salt area. It's called sweet and salt because there is sort of a part of the city, a very central part which has been the center for industry and the port as well, which is the largest in Croatia and also this part of the Adriatic. And so by losing its original kind of program, there is a lot of discussion of what to do with this space. And so we thought by using this cultural momentum to kind of see what the broader picture of the whole thing is. And so it's called sweet and salt because there is a river connecting to the sea in this part. And so we did many programs which I'm not going to elaborate on at this moment. You can research everything online, but we are going to focus here today is basically this warehouse which is behind me. The exhibitions that we did and the human fantastic exhibition, which is currently here in this warehouse. And what I guess is the future of or the legacy of our two year work in this warehouse and on this exhibition. And so the idea was basically to research everything for two years to try to see what the history of the city is, but not just using typical historical narratives. Since once again, it's a very complex history which we switched seven or eight regimes over the last just last hundred years. So it's a lot of switching borders, a lot of switching, I guess, different aesthetics or different sets, ideological narratives and things like that. And so we wanted to do a different reading of the city or of the city's past in order to get to this future part. And so we didn't want to do this exhibition in a museum. We wanted to do in the most difficult place where you can do an exhibition like this, which is a pretty big exhibition. So we decided to do it in the warehouse. So it's an old wood warehouse, which my colleague modern is going to tell you again a little bit more just in a few moments. But I guess the point is not just to show by using, you know, various formats to show sort of a different reading of the city. But also there is this semi hidden agenda of getting people into areas that you were not able to access before in order to show them that you can reprogram all these old warehouse old factories or old, you know, open areas in the city center, which can be used for the public and the people and the citizens. So that was kind of our goal. We didn't just do the research for the exhibition, we also did the production itself. And also there is this legacy aspect that we are going to do a book, which is going to be a already it's a 600 page book, which is going to, I guess, tell the story a little bit more deeper about the whole teams and everything that we researched. And also we created a study program, which will be able to kind of disseminate the knowledge and our experience over the last couple of years, regarding, regarding this exhibition. So that's the introduction, I guess, so that's why the university is working with record 2020. That's why we did this exhibition, which we feel is very amazing in this very difficult place to do this. And so I will give my seat to more than a now who is going to show your presentation about how it looks like so more than half. Hi. First of all, thank you. Thanks Renato for the introduction. And first of all, what we will do is going to, we are going to walk through the exhibition through one presentation short presentation with photos. And later on we are going to walk you through the exhibition since we are in size so you can get the sense of the space and the size of this space because we are talking about one hundred one thousand five hundred square meters, just for the space without the rest of the building and all the spaces for small size exhibitions. So welcome to Fima Fantastica. Fima Fantastica. Wait. Let me just share my screen with you. So, here we are. This is a photo of Rieka from the air and what you see here Mark is actually the building of expert demo. I'm showing you this because here just across the canal is the National Theater. So we are talking about one space in the nearer in the nearest center of Rieka that is Port Authority that was Port Authority and that is now a space for cultural and art events. What we also managed to do is move away the parking. So when you're today looking at this space, there is no parking anymore. This is a walking area for public we managed to open one parking lot for to general public. This is the expert demo building from the outside and this is this was taken for the opening night. This was our idea. So when we started to plan we drew this and then we actually created all the elements of the exhibition. What you need to know that we are going to walk you through 10 different pavilions that are that are going to show different approaches in using material in architectural sense and in using archive materials for the exhibition. What we discovered during our research about Rieka is that we can focus on 10 phenomena that are specific for Rieka, but that are also specific for any other cities such as infrastructure, common ground, monuments, the city itself. So we wanted to use all that information all that phenomena on Rieka as our case study. So we are going to what we did was separate each phenomena in one pavilion, which is a small size exhibition by itself, but in total, they make a little city that we created that's fewer fantastic. This is also something that we like to call the level of pavilion, which is not actually pavilion, it's a timeline created from 52 flags that will tell you the story of the last 150 years of urban history of Rieka. This part with pavilions is a phenomenology, phenomenologic part of the exhibition focused on this phenomena we like we wanted to keep this historical layer also present which we did within the timeline. So this was our team as Renato said organizer was the University of Rieka, which is actually a rare situation and where, when the university comes the strategic partner, then of course Rieka 2020 and the city of Rieka chief curators were with the team was created also with Dan Sujic, Lukas Kansi, Krija Lekko, Renato Stankovic and I. What we have to say that we since we are university, we are not museum and we actually took a space that's not museum space. We have a lot of help from the different museums from Croatia. So we are talking about Meritium and Historical Museum of Creation Literal here in Rieka, City Museum of Rieka, architectural museum in Zagreb, museum in Belgrade. They were actually really supportive and really gave us a lot of material that we had to research before the setup. The introduction was done by Delta Lab University of Rieka and our architect, the main architect was Ida Krija Lekko. And here we are. I'm sitting in the middle of the space on the other side. And, but we're going to start from that way. And here we go. On your left side is going to be our on your right side. Sorry, it's going to be your first pavilion, but you also need to know that we are going to walk you through in some kind of my scenario. There is no right or wrong way in using this exhibition for as an audience, you can, you can feel free to go left or right from the end to the top from top to the end. Each pavilion is a theme by itself, a small size exhibition and also can be walked through and walked around it. We are, we actually create a small size urbanism with this type of setup. This pavilion is called Port and Railway, since infrastructure is actually really important element in developing each city, but it was specific for Rieka because first you had the railway that created the port and after the port, then the city was created. So we are starting with this pavilion which is more focused on the historical approach and this type of generic architecture that was needed for such quicker development of port city. The right opposite, it's the pavilion that we called Borders, which was done completely from metal scraps that we found at the shipyard, the Threshemai here in Rieka. And inside, we're talking about this historical element also, which was the border that was going through Rieka for 17 years, right through the city. What's really interesting to us is the difference in architecture in this left to right part of the city. We wanted to show this political and historical story part of history through architecture that is really different in this fuma area and in Sushak area. After the borders, the metal pavilion we are going to containers. The pavilion, the green one is focused on a theme called networks. So we are what we wanted to show is a different transport of things merchandise that was going through Rieka or from Rieka to all parts of the city, or all parts of the world. And all those things actually really influenced the identity of Rieka and the development of it, such as sugar, oil, container distribution, people emigrating to United States, and the ship Gallup that was the yacht that was Tito was using for his diplomatical travels. And as each city needs to have we also build a cinema. So, opposite to container the black pavilion is actually huge cinema, where we are presenting one special artist film created by Igor Bezinovich and Mayda Srabovich, especially for this exhibition that is the film talking the story about the famous characters that either destroyed or build Rieka but nevertheless all of them created its identity. This is the inside of our cinema, and on the right side, you can see the film, and just across the cinema we are going to the pavilion called Palace. Palaces are also very important element in the city development but what we did was select five palaces from different times from different years, but each palace is a symbol of different transgressions we wanted to choose palaces that stayed the visual appearance they always stayed the same, but what happened was the change of the program happening inside, such as one palace was built as a theater, then became the army house, and was there for ages till the war and then after the war what what happens is that one NGO takes over the building and creates beautiful contemporary art. We took those type of examples and presented them in this continuous exterior and continuous interior. So when you're walking around the pavilion you're walking through one collage of these five palaces, we created some kind of architectural monster. And as you enter inside you're walking through different interior of these palaces but all connect in collage. When you get outside of palaces you're going towards the pavilion called the city. The basic information that you need to know is that city of Rieka after the Second World War had to be renovated what they decided is to give this task to one architect called Igor Emili, who actually did the reconstruction of the old part of Rieka, old part of Rieka was the centuries old and but the houses were just ready to be torn down. So what he did was a very specific combination of old housing projects with combination with modernistic architecture. This was the very bold intervention that Rieka did so we presented it through the exhibition on the wall walls of outside walls of the pavilion, but as you enter inside the pavilion you're actually entering a computer game that we created. We actually made a 3D model of Rieka and computer game where you as audience can play this game as it is organized as a treasure quest. You're walking through Rieka you're answering questions about Rieka you're learning about the history streets and moving throughout the city. It's not just for children of course done because we have different layers in this computer game regarding on the interest of each audience. This is the pavilion from the outside, and just across it is the pavilion called leisure. It's a pavilion dedicated to architecture of tourism, focusing on contrast between Opatia and the islands around Rieka. Rieka was never a touristic city but what was happening that you needed Rieka to come to Rieka with the train, but the whole tourism was developing around the ring of Rieka. On the left side you have Opatia which was an Austrian monarchy symbol for leisure and health tourism. And on the other side, after the Second World War you have beautiful hotels being created in very modernistic approaches such as Haludov, which was the place for Bobogucione and Uvala Scott, which was another crazy hotel project that still exists and still being used. We wanted to show this difference in approach with this little house that was used to be placed on beaches for changing clothes, for changing bathing suits. So the exhibition is actually on the beach in this little house. All the way as you walk through the exhibition you will always see a timeline. You can feel free to enter at any point, at any year, at any time in this timeline and go then outside back to some pavilion. The pavilion made of rocks is actually called Common Ground. Common Ground is telling the story about how Rieka since geographically, Rieka is very narrow, how Rieka needed to build new places and what she did was dig out paces and put what she dug out on other places. There were no places, no new places that were being created, there were places for sports, such as Prelo Contrida where you have the swimming pool and the football field. They were always creating huge large spaces for some type of sport and community activities. On the inside of the pavilion, the model presents Rieka and all around there are these archived photos proving the different uses of these spaces. Opposites to Common Ground is a pavilion dedicated to monuments. Lukas Kansi was our chief collaborator in this project, we actually took his research as the base for more research. Each pavilion either on Rieka or around Rieka is presented with a model with a text and drawings and some archive photos. And what we wanted to emphasize here in this exhibition is the space and the relationship between the space and the monuments itself. We're not focused on the political and historical descriptions of this monument, we are focusing on their aesthetic categories and the space, how they combine and how they influence on one another. This is the last pavilion, it's called Fantastic Zones, and this pavilion is actually created as a movie set. So as you enter in our little set, you're actually entering the potential futures of Rieka that we drew as a, and created as an application. So we are playing with this movie set moment, but behind the pavilion you actually have the history of our disease, let's say it like that. It's the frustration and fascination with Fiuma Fantastika, so all these elements are actually our office, and this is the really backstage of the whole project that we did. The other line is looking like this one side is with the one side of these flags is dedicated to archive material and text descriptions, and the other side are actually glitched flags of Rieka or any country or kingdom whatever was Rieka in at that certain point. So these are just some photos of overall project with people present inside, and now we are going to have a little walkthrough, Renato is going to jump in and start. Just a second. Yeah, hopefully you can hear me now. And so basically now we were simulate at least how good we can simulate the experience of going through the exhibition. So this is sort of the entry area and what I'm going to take you on the walkthrough. So now we are in the pavilion dedicated to boats and trains to port and railway. As I said before, each pavilion and it's dedicated to board. It's actually really impressive in the same architecture. Renato, I'm not sure if you hear me but if you could slow down a bit and be close to more than talking because we just hear bits of what more than saying, so you need to follow her on the shoulder. Thank you. So now we are walking behind the pavilion borders, going towards the networks. Networks are actually made of a container, since one of the themes is actually the container transport that is very, very important to development on Rieka. So on one side, you have different archive materials proving different approaches of things that were traveling through the acre. And on the other side, you have the map of the city with a specific legend that if you decide to follow which line can actually take you to all the parts of the world, which each this things. This matters was traveling such as oil, sugar, Tito's boat, Galleb and architecture development in the countries of non reliant. Yes, we are entering the pavilion cinema. So now we are in the pavilion palace. We are in this continuous interior combined on these different five palaces. In the tablets that you're seeing on the wall, we actually get a gift that will prove the different developments of each house. These different transgressions, how the house changed from a theater to a political zone or space for contemporary art. This is the pavilion, Asia, where we are actually standing on the beach. Evo Robich is playing in the background. He's a famous creation singer of shun songs that was specific for the great terraces of hotel. On the other side, specifically dedicated to architecture of tourism in the patria, which is this type of health tourism, a very relaxed tourism. And on the other side of this little house is the architecture of hedonistic tourism that was mostly happening after the Second World War. In the islands and in the face of islands around Rieke in the county. For example, Kaludava, which was a space for a penthouse part. The city is just across. Welcome to the interior of our computer game. These are different layers of the computer game that we created. The audience can choose whether you want to play the game or you want to see somebody playing and see how he's moving through Rieke and what he's doing in answering all these questions about history of Rieke. So common ground pavilion is dedicated to these spaces of new collective socializing through sport or recreation. Rieke has them really, really a lot. And what is specific in this room, this pavilion is also one photo that will show in more to understand how Rieke is actually interesting and a bit weird and fantastic. I showed you the position of expert right across the National Theater. So look at this. This is the center of Rieke that is a space for drawing wood. Here is the National Theater, here is the residential area. Rieke wasn't a city, it was first just a port and then the city was created later on. On one side is the pavilion monuments and on the other side is the pavilion fantastic zone. We will just have a little look in the pavilion monuments and then go take it to the back to see the backstage of the project. So all the information about the monuments are either in these models, in text, in archive photos and in photos taken just today. We wanted to show the different, the wide range of monuments that was being created in Rieke and around Rieke. But all those monuments are created in public space. We were interested in this relationship with space and the monument itself. We are starting with one from the 19th century and finishing with the most recent monument created in creation history, which is the bridge of defenders in creation war of independence created by the architectural studio called Trialhade. Just to show, in this new set, we actually allow audience to play, to position themselves in different fantastic futures of Rieke that we think may happen in 20, 30, 50, 100 years, but we are actually letting people play with this idea. And behind our movie set, we are entering the documentation of our research. And once again, the timeline, the historical layer that gives you more information about Rieke and about the concept of the exhibition. And so here we are. What, sorry, can I hear you? That would be it from us. I think we actually did it in 30 minutes as it was planned. You can hear me, right? Sorry. Yes, we can. Oh, okay. You were muted, I think. Okay. So this is actually it from us. Do we have any questions? I was just looking now. Ah, okay, I have seen, okay, okay, okay. If we have any minutes or two, I will maybe answer a couple of these questions. Although I think as I was talking, I will answer some of them. As Yulia Pagels asked, did we collaborate with, of course, all our research was based on the material that we could find in museums in Rieke, in Croatia and even in some museums outside Croatia, which I must say great thank you to all of these directors of museums and curators that were willing enough to collaborate with us. And a lot of archives also I forgot to mention them. Regarding the audience, audience, I would say contributed started to contribute to the exhibition as soon as we opened because we did a setup but some of the fine tuning was actually done with the audience since what we decided to do is to do the tour guide for general public all the time and note every tour guide that we did through the exhibition was always done by somebody from the curatorial team. So it is Renato, it's me or it's Edis or it's Ida, we don't use students, our history students to do that for us, we do that tour guiding. I think we did over 150 tour guides so far that's like one per day to actually per day. So we wanted to communicate with audience we wanted to see what their thoughts are we're not doing a lecture here with the exhibition we're actually doing walk through this city that we created. And also, the reason why we have a little classic things on the beach is because the children wanted to build the houses they wanted to create their own urbanism in that sense so we brought it. And one layer on the exhibition. And I will read one. Most of the time. Okay. Anilis Van der Ven. I'm sorry if I pronounce your name wrong. So whether do we have any audience research in how people move through the spaces where they spent most of the time. Actually we do, we have. This is one of the things that we asked our students that are guarding the exhibition. We have one document, the creating with them, just for research so we can do statistics afterwards. And I must say that the, what so far, we concluded is that there is a very interesting this age difference. So people form 40 to 60 more spend more time on timeline, while a younger audience actually plays more with this pavilion part of the exhibition, and younger audience is more. It's easier for them to ask direct questions. What we like really is that we start talking when we start guiding this walkthrough. We always tell our audience that they're not stupid questions feel free to ask anything this is a dialogue not the monologue. And we actually managed to do that that people in the first pavilion just start asking questions. There's something that in that system would be normally creation system is not the creation people never ask questions, trust me, but I think that we managed to case some type of diolic. There's another question about the economical support or I guess would be the, maybe the price, the final tag price or the whole thing so obviously to one of the bigger projects. So we had access to some 350,000 euros, which covered basically two years of work. So it wasn't just the setup of the exhibition. It was a lot of, you know, buying photographs, you know, paying researchers to go to Vienna to Budapest to various places, getting, you know, access to various knowledge from, from abroad so we had a lot of people from other countries, coming here, working with us on workshops. And basically this whole like so two years research plus the whole production of the exhibition plus the whole, at least one part of the marketing aspect. So the whole team working here while the exhibition is open, of course, all the cost of the multimedia equipment so everything is kind of accounted in this, I guess, 350,000 euros price. But the good thing about the exhibition is that it doesn't have to be removed since it's not a museum so it doesn't really have, you know, there are no current plans and into something that will replace this so it can easily become open, you know, next year or year after that or it can be upgraded or it can be removed, you know, so we use for any other exhibition because what we did when we started to plan the exhibition setup is our main question it was, can we use this pavilions later for something else. And the answer is actually yes, because if you tear down this walls made of plaster and if you take down our print, you actually get the construction that can be reused for any other type of exhibition, maybe there should be 10 exhibitions of different artists here in this space. This space is the expert of a building is actually think of it as a street with a roof. This was an old warehouse that was used for drying wood, it has nothing to do, it's just like a street with a roof. So what we actually wanted to do is this type of arsenale moment when you're walking like in Venice you're walking through pavilions, because we wanted to show this north south orientation as a building and put in this fantastic fuma, fantastic Rieka inside fuma is actually Rieka, the title of the city. And just to finish, there is a small follow up question going about whether you know who financed the whole the whole thing whether it had, you know, support I guess from the private sector or from people so it was mostly publicly funded we had access to some sponsorship deals which covered, you know, materials or work done on the production sense, but it was mostly financed by the public that means the city, the regional government, the Ministry of Culture and obviously the European Union covering the whole Rieka 2020 project. I think this is our time. Julia gave us the queue, we were too long. Sorry, and I hope that we didn't buggy too much with our story. There's a lot to tell at 30 minutes is really. And that's it. So hello from Rieka and enjoy the rest of the conference. Thank you for inviting us. Thank you. Thank you, Morana and Renato this was really a great tour, especially for the people who haven't been to a museum and quite a long time because most of the museums are closed in Europe. So this was especially nice to see and again, a good argument to go come to Rieka at some point. Just for before we leave you to a long lunch break, I would like to say that at 2pm, we are meeting again with the webinar how do I make my museum more sustainable please be on time because we will be starting on time at 2pm. The webinar will be facilitated by Katelyn Southwick from Key Culture. If you would like to join and you haven't registered please find the link to this webinar in the chat. And last but not least, tomorrow morning we will resume at 10am for our dedicated session on the coronavirus and museums. This session is unfortunately, or fortunately fully booked already, but I would like to take this moment to encourage all of you to really respond to our follow-up survey on the coronavirus impact on museums. The link is also in the chat and I would just like to say that the more feedback we have from the more people responding, the better arguments we can build for museums for their economic support for keeping them open for transforming their digital capacity so please go ahead and respond to them. So this is where I end. We'll see each other today at a bit later at 2pm. Thank you very much.
