And I'd like to thank you for inviting me to the workshop and I'm sorry, I cannot talk. My topic today is about the trend to lack. The two terms you are all very familiar with. Now, this is, here are the explanations by modern texturized, but in the old Tibetan texts related to the Tibetan kings, especially in the phrases in Phrasing the glories of the kings such as Jis, the above explanations are just not right. Now, a variety of interpretations have been provided by scholars, first by McDonnell, then by Stein, and Han, and Wang Shaif, and Michael, and the Phrasing one is published in 2018 by Bailef, and I know you are all aware of them, so I will not go into detail of this. In what follows, I will go to my interpretations and I have to propose that both Chi and Chu La are the equivalent of Chinese Confucian concept Li. Now, it was Stein who first, in 1992, introduced us to these two old Tibetan manuscripts, PT-87, PT-98, he says that there are two examples of the same text in this text is an account of wise maximans from Chinese Confucianism, but he had not been able to identify the citation. However, Stein's identity, oh, sorry, right here, and he said certain Tibetan terms such as Chi and Chu, which ought to have a particular meaning of a specific Chinese word, but he proposed that Chi would be the equivalent of Dao and Zhezhe of the, however, Stein's identifications are proved to be not acceptable. In 2005, a Chinese scholar, Nie Hongying, found the citations of PT-988, and he pointed out that the manuscript derived from Taikun Jiajiao, a work intended for the instruction of children in ancient China, especially in Tang and Song period. Now, this is a sentence from the manuscript and let's see my translation much clearer. Now, this sentence, it says, Chi ma yin ba la, mi gyi gian, mi lo, kai mi pao, no yang yang do, Chi ma yin ba la, nian gyi mi yu, and the Stein translates all two in it as principle. Can you hear it? Yeah, yeah. Actually, the sentence is from Taikun Jiajiao and Taikun Jiajiao again is from Analyze or Confucius from Wenyi. In the chapter 12 of the, has this sentence, fi li wu shi, fi li wu qing, fi li wu yan, fi li wu dong. If it is not accordance with the properize, I do not check it, look at it, and etc, etc. So, should interpret it as the properize. By the way, this is the equivalent of yi, but I will not go into it because it's not the topic of today. Now, there's one case. The another case came out in 2017 when Sa Ji and Sa Ren Gao-Wa identified a Dong-Huan Twitter manuscript from Nakamura Collections, the teaching of ancient Taikun. The manuscript has close relation with PT 988, many sentences of the two overlap. Taikun Jiajiao is its main source, but there are citations from other Chinese classicals, such as Analyze's Book of Rights, Book of Ethics, Book of Changes, etc. The passage we just cited is in the new manuscript. Here I copied another sentence that contains the word, the properize. Yeah, it says, The sentence is from Taikun Jiajiao, Li Wen Lai Xue, Bu Wen Wan Jiao. Thus, I heard according to properize student's goal for learning, but not teacher's goal for teaching. So, again, Xue is the equivalent of Li. Now, I want to use the meaning, Li, to translate the word, Xue, and some of the Tibetan texts. When describing the ancestor, Chi Deng Bo can mean to Tibet as a lot of people. It says the people there, Xue San du Qi practicing good rights. This is a passage from the Western inscription, it is here, La Ka. When Chi Deng Songzang decided to bestow his favor to the monk, Nian Ding Nian Jin, he said, the reference for confusion is the properize in throwing favor, Ka Jin Jinbei, Chi Jinbei. Another one, the chapter three of the old Tibetan chronicle tells how the king of Nian Po, Simpo Jie Dage, was wrong in all his action. It says he reversed the properize and changed the government affairs. The Lord did all wrong thing. Then his minister Nian Ding, Ji Song Na Po, beggered because Lord did all things in the reverse in the wrong direction. Our government affairs are not like the government affairs, properize are not like the properize. So what's wrong with it is. Now, sometimes Chi combines with Lu, Lu referring to the, all those related Lu, the such as rice and the customs, ritual, ceremony, et cetera. Here is a sentence from the old Tibetan Sen Su in which the king will give his command to his soldiers and stated how the king, Du, old son, with all wrongs and Du's uncle began to criticize him. He said, the action like this against the right of the custom, Chi Lu, they gave up is him proper. Again, in the chapter four of the old Tibetan Sen Su, the king will give his command to his soldiers and stated that the king, Du, evil who is, and he says, he said he be held improper against the right and the custom. That's both without and within the kingdom, only falsely in tiny war practice in the subjects held in terror, tyrannized. Now, I think it's equivalent only in what follows. I would like to show that the two lines are also equivalent of the same Chinese word. As we all know, in the number of old Tibetan texts, Chi Lu often makes a pair with Du or Du La written as Chi Lu son and Du Chi or Du La son. Though the order may be inverted, Sam was point out that the two terms seem to be sometimes equivalent, sometimes slightly different but related. In terms of the classical Chinese grammar, it is Hu Wen, maybe my English translation is wrong, but it is definitely Hu Wen. For Du La, Sam once point out that it refers to the political or administrative institutions or good conduct. The interpretation is right, I think he's right. However, he did not find the exact Chinese word for it and I believe it is Lee. Now, let's turn again to the old Tibetan Sanshu. This is the chapter of accomplishment of military actions just in which King Wu decided to abandon weapons out there on the wall against the Sam kingdom and he ordered, he ordered, and this is my translation. The weapons were all laid down and he ordered to hear out Du La together with the calligraph and the mathematicians be practiced in the land. And then he set free at the place where the horse is needed for authentic expeditions and they release the cattle at the front of the bowling. Now, let's look at the original Chinese text. Here you see some words are large and some words are smaller. So the larger words are supposed to be the original scripture of Sanshu. And the smaller words are supposed to be interpretations the notes made by Confucius or Hephaenist. It says it means abandon weapons in the building culture and let's start the big words first. It says which means set free, set free the horse at the north of the horse and set free the cattle at the forest. And then means to show all the people I'm having that the horses, the cattle will not be used anymore but the Tibetan text does not translate it. Now let's turn to the Tibetan text again. Apparently the second part which I marked with purple is a translation of Fima in Huashan Zhiyan Fang Nui Taolin Zhiyan is the exact translation almost exact. But the first part, the first part we see is not the translation of Yan Wuxue. Yan Wuxue means to give up the weapon and to building up culture. The first culture is not the translation of Yan Wuxue. Let's look at the Chinese text. It's translating the smaller words. Do you see smaller words? Daigang de pui hu bi shi bu yong xing li shi shi xian shi xiu weng jiao. So that is the exact translation of Saqian num ji nen le. No, no, no. Couple in translated, ne is putting away but it's not putting away. It's lying down. Lying down all weapons but there's no translation for pui hu bi shi bu yong. Which means the weapons were covered with skins or tied indicating no use anymore but no translation for this Chinese word. Then xing li shi xian xiu weng jiao which means to practice this, to set up school and to develop education. So and I think let's look at the Tibetan words again. And I believe zu la jue is a translation for xing li zhe. And yi ji le is what the Saqian shi xiu weng jiao for so I believe zu la is a translation of this. Then what is this? In ancient China, a perfect emperman xing zi was required to mark the six arts and the art tree actually was one of them. The art or art tree was a competitive sport or using a ball to shoot arrows according to certain standard. It believed that in ancient China all normal men had to master the skill. Out of the thought of the sun, the king would believe there would be no more anymore. So he ordered the people to practice this. This means the art tree according to certain rights instead of the art tree simply for fighting like before. Now out of the thought, the king would decided to lie down the weapons and to build culture which shows that the king wanted his people there out. Having knowledge in cartograph and the proper rights, he hoped his people were well educated in culture but not in fighting. Therefore, I would go further and propose that in all Tibetan peoples understanding zhu la actually means li. Actually means li. So, and the word zhu la appeared three times in all Tibetan sanshu. Now I would like to demonstrate that the interpretation li is well suited to all three uses. One, it implies 130 to 34, all the chap of, sorry, what? The English, the king who stated, let's see my translation. I created print with reverence to ministers having obtained and with these ministers, I know respectfully reserved the prince for the heaven and then cut off those orderly road. Our kingdom, unlike the others, is great and presents of properities, the barbarians, all the kingdoms who gathered under my sway and the respectfully heed my commands. Here, I translate the picture as the principle of heaven, which is the highest one of the proper rights and I will return back to this soon. Now another one is in line 31 to 35 with King Wu, swung with his soldiers to fight with the sun and he said, your normal manhood on the West regions because you clearly know the principle of heaven so you clearly rise in custom of good and evil in the new state of architecture. The king of Yin Zhou did not practice the custom of failure, respect and honesty and the five kinds of principles and he did not think respectfully of the properities, the spirit, the dead ancestors and architecture of the former generations of ancestors. Now this actually has a similar sentence in lines 78 to 80 of the old Tibetan temple. So we can see that Zula has a similar meaning as Nam Sa here because it says Nam Sa Thanh La Thanh Shek but here it's Zula Thanh Guom Jinsu, it's same meaning. Zula has a similar meaning as Nam Sa referring to the principle of heaven and earth, the laws of nature. Now I would like to explain a little bit more on this why I translate the architecture of the principle of heaven. The scholars on Confucianism, they were asked that the basic principle of this imitate the heaven. In one chapter of book of Christ, it says, Christ is the order of heaven and earth. In another chapter it says, the principle of proper life is to follow the order of the heaven and earth and et cetera, et cetera.  In other words, the nature of the proper life to show the order of the heaven and earth. So the Zula, that the King Zou did not respect is equivalent to Nam Ge Chue or Nam Sa, the highest one of the proper rights. In concluding of this part lecture, Zula can be interpreted as the, as well as those related to it such as ritual system rights and regulations because the two have the same or similar meanings they are often used in court. So in this report, I will translate here as the proper life and the two life proper practice. Now I would like to give more examples and I find the interpretation of two life as the, is well-suited in all these texts. Here is from the chapter nine of the old written chronicle which stated in the time of today's Zaf. He invoiced Nan Zhao kingdom went to the Tibetan court to pay their two bills and to express their intention to submit to Tibetan authority. There, the Tibetan Lord and ministers together saying, it says, when first the son of God of men went to the plains of Tibet, there because the rice are good and the property is great. So he gathered all kingdoms. So the admirable river father, so the son of God example, his property is great. His rice good and his administration agreeable. His command justly, his word constant. So the kingdom, the king of Nan Zhao offered his river. The next chapter of the same manuscript is to play the prologue of Susan Zanzang. And it says during that time, his rice were good and his command great.  His property was great. The rice he conducted as an example for women. Now, sometimes during the two last years and I understand it as the best rice. This is the inscription at the Chongqian Bridge. The long stone was set up to praise the glory of Susan Zanzang. But at the beginning of the inscription, it first phrases the royal ancestors and it says, when the gods stand at the temple, the ancestors came as laws of gods and men. The rice was superior in their custom food. Their status were firm and their splendor great. Now this manuscript, the prayer for the foundation of the Ganyu Time Monastery is from the Chuchu time period in which it plays the example of this. His majesty's law, some of that. The god acting as a god or human, therefore possesses the divine powers in his hands. He practices extensively the jupyere and the rise of gods. His compassion for all unhaven. Chained to Latin, he preceded it by Namsa. This I believe is to indicate that it is right in accordance with the highest natural law and can be translated as the principle of heaven or the principle of heaven and earth. Again, the inscription at the Chukie bridge Chukie bridge, outraging the ancestors, the text also prayers the king's son, and it says, likewise his men adjusted the god's son, the son, in accordance with the ritual of the ancestors, did not endure the proper rites of gods and acted in harmony with the principle of heaven and earth. The beginning of the inscription is the term of the Song Zhang Ren, as this looks at my translation. When the son of god, the Chukie, came down from the god in heaven as lord of men, his rise of the gods were good and never did his proper rites change his. His authority, his might and never was his land of damage to his government. The game great and great like his status was forever firm. In accordance with the eternal great propriety, priorities, the son of gods, the Song Zhang acted as lord of men. In agreement with the rituals of gods, his authority was mighty in the light onto the principle of heaven, the commands were powerful and et cetera, et cetera. Now in this case, Ha and Namsa can be replaced by Chak, with the similar meaning. The Chak of the third knowledge of Tibetan classical has a song sung by the Kinshu, sung against the Tao family. And it says, oh, in the beginning, in ancient times, first the start, the proper practice were established, were established, then he said, to marry a horse, a horse riding the one who established the proper practice of Chak Namsa, that the sickle had a sickle, et cetera, et cetera. And the proper practice of Chak will not change in the phases of the era, will not fall. To sum up Tula, sorry, Chak and Tula are many old Tibetan texts concerning the political ideology of Tibetan empire, were used to translate Confucian conceptally, denoting Lee will adopt those dates to lead, such as the life in relations, rise, custom, ritual ceremony, ritual system, the principle of heaven, and principle of heaven. Lee is a core concept in Confucianism, he about cited old Tibetan texts all contentedly, indicating that the Confucian philosophy was once a part of the political ideology of Tibetans and played a significant role in the making of Tibetan empire. So now the last part. Now for the political culture of Tibetan empire, scholars have different opinion. Professor Bekley once proposed, it belongs to the essential erosion cultural complex, while Professor Ling Wanchi, a scholar from Taiwan, says that the Tibetan ideology of some of God is similar to the political philosophy of ancient Chinese some of heaven, that's a part of traditional Chinese culture. Examining carefully the cited texts, the descriptions of Tibetan ancestors in the temples are not in more than two aspects. First is a sound of God's hand as broad a moment, and secondly, Chesan and Tula Tei. Now, only out these two aspects was never changed, then it is in accordance with the properized heaven and earth. Thus to make the temple's dominion become higher, and his status becomes firm, and his authority become great. For the first part, the idea of the sound of God, which I think it may originate from the same erosion cultural complex as thought by Professor Bekley. It was believed that the Tibetan temple was God's and it related to heaven. Out of the past away, this is different with the idea of the sound of heaven. The sound of heaven was not a God, an emperor of ancient China had no divinity and would not go to heaven without passion. For the second part, Chesan and Tula Tei I believe belong to the Confucian philosophy, thus it may be safe to say that the political ideology of the Tibetan empire is a combination of the cultures from both the same ancient and China. But who introduced the Confucian ideology in Tibet in the war and the way? From limited sources, we know that starting from the time of Songtang temple's grandfathers on the sea, the Tibetans of the Yangon valley began to extend their realm and in the time of his father, Namjit Wenzhang, they united the most places of life. However, according to a record in the old Tibetan chronicle we do not know what happened in the late days of Namjit Wenzhang anyway, when Songtang temple came into stone, his subject was exerted and many tribes turned back and his father was presented with poison and death. The Yangon Zhanggang Bu, the facing house, quickly controlled the situation. Then in 644, Xiangxiong was brought on his control, thus completely united the whole Tibetan country. However, the political community is not being captured halfly at the same time. The kings and ministers of the old kingdom still share certain political power and were active in the new port of the Red Empire. In view of the turmoil in his father's late phase, Songtang temple was likely to realize the need for cultural integration, the need to improve the political system, especially to propose a political theory to legitimize his family's rule. Now, for the sake of the Songtang temple who built the collective cult of the Tibetan Empire, we meet with a huge problem of sources among all the old Tibetan populists. The Earth, the Earth is the one with a very clear face, only when back to the Songtang period, so above speculation, is likely to provoke doubt. But in general, when a new dynasty succeeded in unifying its domain, it would face the problem of cultural integration in order to establish the legitimacy of its rule. Taking into account the political situation that the Songtang temple made when he first came into strong, he didn't have to do something with the political organization and ideology of his empire, as he unified the whole Tibet battle. Now, this is the famous old political agreement. The chapter 12 is about Songtang temple, it's about the relation between Songtang temple and the Ga, and it is to praise the glory of Songtang temple. It was Hu Rui who first proposed that the manuscript is not necessarily a real record of history, historical facts. He translated very good Zulacati temple with the correct ability of also Tibet and very good Shum Sanbukong as all the foundations of the Tibetan customs, and pointed out that the manuscript is the first of its kind to attribute the establishment of the legal cause of Tibetan empire from Songtang temple. But because according to all the Tibetan animals, the legal cause of Tibetan empire was written by Ba Songtang temple. So he says he's not right. But here, Zulacati is not laws and the true is not customs. I believe Zulacati equal to Chu Qing in the inscription of the Sino-Tibetan treaty. It means rights and regulations, but not law. And also Chu is not customs. This is my translation. I, so it's very long, but I'd like to read it together. Profound both of us, it was Chi Songzang. The one is Mr. Below, it was Songzang Yisong. The Lord took the ritual of the child, heavens, mountains, minister took the customs of us. And through this way their authority was great and the real cause is the rest of everything. The government grew abroad in the fall of Iraq and the nourishment was unreduced and abandoned. The black-headed subjects, high and low, were made pivot with improper texture, being abandoned, they lived at ease. Spring passed like fog. People enjoyed life as it came and waited. Their desires were granted, homes were recognized. Violence were prevented, rivals were brought low, slaves were vetted, Chu was relied upon, the wise were praised, the brave were benefited. Priests were brought, rights were good and government property and all the people were happy. Though Tibet previous had no letters, it came about at the time of this sample, following which the great proclivities in the regulations of Tibet, the order of officials, the powers of the poor, high and low, rewards for accomplishing the good deeds, punishments for doing deceit, the measurement, drug, for fuel and to travel, posture and distance between the way station was standardized as well as exception, exception. All the good scriptures of proclivities of Tibet came about during the time of the sample, so all the people recreated his kindness and felt it in the last presentation of the name Songzang Amphu. From the text, we see the piece of Songzang Amphu. Can we summarize this? First, he de-invention of letter, of letter 70, establishment of the great rules of proclivities, arrangement of the high and low orders of officials and the force after regulations for rewarding good and punishing the bad and finally, standardized measurement units for the whole country. And I believe this about is of Songzang Amphu in social and cultural view is the great key of Tibet. The society that takes the shoes that the Lord should perform the mind and the ministers should be advised. The Lord should perform the rituals of child or the heaven ministers should act according to the custom of the earth. In this way, on the promise of the temple of Songzang Amphu and ministers, each have their own rights that their status were distinguished. This is for our Confucian political doctrine. In one chapter of our analytics, the Duke Jin Ochi asked Confucius about government. Confucius replied, there is government. When the king is king and the minister is minister, when the father is father and son is son. On this, Suzi commented, this is the base of human health to the root of our affairs. The Confucian political philosophy emphasizes the emperor's majesty. It stresses on one hand the dignity and the prestige of the monarch and on the other, the imperial status and the loyalty of the ministers. The reason that Confucius constructed the ritual system was to establish the ranks and orders between the high and the low. The normal and the normal, the clothes and the mode and the scenery and the union. You will remember the chapter four of the 12th chronicle describes a celebration phase during the time of Namjil, Lanzang, in the ritual hall without proper courtesy or minister, sent a stone hosting his marriage in the expansion of the Yangtze tribe. Well, the chapter 12 of the same manuscript records the relation between Songzhang Gambu and the famous minister, Gao Dongzhang Yuzong, emphasizing the theme of royalty or subject. The difference is that out of Songzhang Gambu's efforts of cultural building, the ranks of the high and the low were distinguished. The different status of the monarch and the ministers were recognized and they were established in the written form written form of the proper rights. Out of such propaganda, the leaders of other clans could no longer convey the example's role. This is the great contribution of Songzhang Gambu to the long spirit of his royal family. And this is exactly why he introduced Confucius philosophy in Tibet. Now, the final question, when? When he introduced the Confucius ideology in Tibet, I only found one. According to one record, I was told Tang Ang, in the year of 646, when Tang Taicong came back to Tang Ang from the war against the royal, Songzhang Gambu sent his minister, Gao Dongzhang, present a huge golden booth and a future letter to Taicong. The letter was preserved in the old Tangxu, its race. The Holy Son of Heaven pacified the four directions and the kingdoms illuminated by the sun and moon all came from majestic subjects. While Gao Yong, relying on their business, did not form the proper rights as a subject, the Son of Heaven, leading an army or a million men in person, closed over their river and went to conquer them. The city was captured and the battle formation was destroyed. And the Son of Heaven triumphantly returned back in several days. The barbarians just heard that your majesty was setting off for departure and in a short time, they already heard that your majesty had returned back home. While these flies fast, yet they are not as swift as your majesty, hand over me as your son in law a much happier than the ordinary barbarians. As the letter shows, the new theory of the Tibetan kingship might already formulate this time. Though in the later Songzhang Ganpu did not regard him as one of the barbarians thrown in the borders of the Tang Dynasty. This is my report. Thank you all.


Hey everyone, I'm Gabrielle with Oxmore Auto Group. Now I am here at the E-Quine facility for the Kentucky G-Me. It's exciting. We have Finn over there. You guys, I have Alyssa here. And so the reason I am here, I'm here on behalf of Oxmore Toyota for the Toyota Match program. So Oxmore Toyota is donating 2,500. Toyota is matching that for $5,000 donation. So how is that helping you all? It makes an incredible impact on animals like Finn here. In the 5,000 plus other cats, dogs and horses we care for every single year. So we are always honored to work with Oxmore Toyota and so grateful you do not only financial donations. Donations like this beautiful vehicle right here that has hauled over 100 horses actually. That's amazing. Either to their new adoptive home or out of crisis. So this thing is extremely helpful and we're very grateful for it, right, Olivia? Yes, absolutely. So Olivia has Finn here. If you want to talk a little bit about this beautiful boy. Sure, Finn is a little small pony that came to us from the Eastern Kentucky region and he was unable to be contained by his family and running at large and needed somewhere to go that he would be safe. So he came to us at Kentucky Main Society where he could receive training and the care he needed to find a good home. And he's very excited. He is. He's excited to be in the video. He's definitely. He wants to give a special thank you to Oxmore Toyota. All right, so why don't we go take a look around the farm and see all the horses? This is Hope. Hope was actually a member of a free roaming herd of horses in Eastern Kentucky and somebody actually went out and shot over 20 horses that were part of her herd. And she and two others were the only survivors at the time. And so she came here to KHS to find safety and to find training. And then now she's actually waiting to get hauled to her home probably sometime next week. So we're really excited. Yeah, she's beautiful. Sometimes horses can have trauma from certain events. Usually with horses, what they need more is just structure in an environment where they can thrive.  That's perfect. Interestingly enough, Hope had a lump on her neck that one of our staff members thought to run a metal detector over. And she actually had a bullet lodged in her neck that we didn't discover until a couple weeks ago.  So where are we at right now? So this is our indoor arena and we are thrilled to have this. It helps with so many different things. Training, socialization, being able to get out a horse and work with them and have the adopter ride or just get to meet them. We hope one day to have training sessions here and seminars and we can set up seating back here and have shows, all kinds of opportunities in this special place. So we wanted to give you all an exciting update with the money, the donation that we have given the Kentucky Humane Society. Yeah, so originally we gave our $2,500 toitos, imagine the $2,500. We did the check presentation for $5,000. But after talking to the Kentucky Humane Society, one of their big needs out here, Willow Hope Farm was refurbishing these stalls. And as you've seen through the video of us walking through here, this is the nicest newest one. It's got windows that are coming in for it. So right here where this plaque is will be the same photo with our people from Oxmore, Toyota that have given towards that. So it's really exciting. That's gonna be something that when people come by, they know that we care about these horses and the rescues. So I'm very excited to be a part of this. Me too. Nice to have a bigger impact. I mean it's gonna last for a long time to take care of these horses. They really deserve it. Definitely, and I love the horses. So I'm super excited to be out here and seeing where the money is going. Yeah, it's gonna be great. Yeah.

Every now and then that'll happen if it's just like there's not a game changer it seems like but like already like it's kind of like you already got to look forward to next year. Sam Howell, Ronnie Lott, because you have two potential top five picks and one of the best wide receivers and recent memory coming out too. So it's definitely going to be a fun draft next year. Even this year there's going to be some good receivers. Jahan Dotson. Good receivers, good skill guys. Very heavy on defense which is good too. Maybe defensive players will get a little bit more love in the hobby. Got Garrett Wilson. But like someone, I always tell everybody somebody's got to win rookie of the year so there's going to be somebody who's going to have a good year. Kenny Pickett base rookie. They just got Daxon Hill to 299 Red. Phil Sims. Like there's definitely, there's some studs in this class for sure. Quarterback maybe not. We'll see but apparently Pickett's looked terrible in camp which is good. Happy about that. Trevon Walker, John Mechie, Matt Stafford under the lights. I'll do it for box one. Pass them base over to Sean. Box two. Yeah so I mean granted will there be a Hall of Famer quarterback in this? We don't know yet you know. Sometimes each year the best guy is a fourth or fifth rounder. It's not necessarily always the number one guy. So it's got to wait and see. Someone's going to get an opportunity. Who knows who it is? It's all about Trevon Walker. Fridge. Who knows who it's going to be. Someone's going to do it. We'll see who wins offensive rookie of the year. Maybe it's not a quarterback. Probably won't be. Yeah Jamison Williams is going to be nasty. Sauce Gardner got Kyle Hamilton to 299. There you go Ravens. Kham. Yeah I think Jamison Williams. I think all the first round rookies could be really like receivers could be studs. I think Olave's good speaking of Jamison Williams. There he is. Isaiah likely got Zeke Elliott to 50 on the mini and Herbert and Fouts. I think Jamison Williams will be good. I think Olave. I think London. Garrett Wilson. Jahan Dotson. Trevon Birx. Even Christian Watson could be really good in the second round. Skye Moore I think is going into a good situation. Shannon Sharp. Then he got some good running backs. Got Breeze Hall. Could be a stud. A couple good tight ends. Got Tray McBride. Isaiah likely. Charlie Kohler. Son Haskins. My home's under the lights. So I don't know. I think there's some, I think there's talent in this class for sure. Maybe not at the quarterback. Desmond Ritter. Kyle Hamilton. Got Kyle Hamilton. Rookie Otto to 50. There you go Ravens.

And Tyrion Davis Price, Niners. That'll do it for the break right there. Congrats everyone on the hits. Coming up is full case of contenders. Stay tuned.


Yeah, I would certainly agree to this. As I said earlier this morning in the first panel, the overall deforestation rate globally is declining, but degradation is increasing. And so there's a huge number of areas globally that are already degraded. And if we want to achieve the SDGs, or if we want to achieve the climate goals, or if we want to achieve biodiversity targets, we have to restore it. So I would agree with this statement. CPF is a partnership that consists of 14 international organizations with significant programs on forests. And each of these organizations, in one way or the other, is engaged in restoration efforts already. And just to give an example, this morning we heard from Guatemala. Guatemala is strongly developing a national restoration plan and is supported by a number of partners in this endeavor, including FAO, one of the partners of the CPF, and there are many other examples as well. Well, I mean, this isn't an easy question because that's specifically the objective of this meeting here today. This is why we organized a meeting on Forest Landscape and Ecosystem Restoration at the COP13 because, as you have heard, you know, there is a strong focus on mainstreaming biodiversity across the sectors. And restoration is also not an issue that is only concerning forests, but it's really across the landscape, so it fits very well with the restoration topic. And the CBD is also deciding on restoration plans, so CPF is supporting this political process through this event today. Key message is really that the CPF is committed to restoration and the CPF is committed to supporting countries and initiatives in achieving their restoration goals.


The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the ability of CTSA TL1 trainees and KL2 scholars to conduct their research. Lack of access to research facilities, clinics, and human subjects has been the most detrimental effect, while KL2 scholars have also experienced difficulty accessing team members and being unable to work in person. In order to maintain research productivity, TL1 trainees have shifted to writing and thinking more, while KL2 scholars have relied heavily on virtual connections with colleagues and have shifted to research activities not requiring laboratory or clinic settings. To mitigate the effects of the pandemic, strategies such as time management, virtual connections, and shifting to non-lab clinic-based research have been employed.

You know, do you think it's official World War three if China attacks Taiwan? Meaning NATO and US might eventually attack that I don't think China is going to attack Taiwan but NATO and US They can't they don't have the reach to do anything about If China decides to go in militarily into Taiwan, right? then they're buying time right now to arm Japan up the yin yang Australia up the yin yang Korea South Korea up the yin yang and Same thing is going on the other side North Korea up the yin yang China's loading up up the yin yang Russia's already loaded up Iran's already loaded up This is what's going on. We are as far as I'm concerned World War three


A Ukrainian drone destroyed the Russian Kornet missile by dropping an anti-tank mine, destruction of the Russian position of the Kornet anti-tank guided missile by a well-aimed drop from a drone of a TM-62 anti-tank mine by soldiers of the Third Mechanized Battalion and companies of striking unmanned aerial vehicles of the 54th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been revealed. The video was posted by the Butosov Plus Telegram channel. The Kornet is a Russian anti-tank guided weapon. Western reporting name of this weapon is AT-14 or SPRIGAN. Its fearsome reputation is derived from its extreme range that's far beyond most current anti-tank missiles. The FGM-148 Javelin, for example, can only deliver its lethal top-attack warhead 2.5 kilometers away while the original Kornet-E, developed by the Instrument Design Bureau, had a maximum range of 5.5 kilometers. However, despite significantly longer range, the Russian Kornet is not that advanced in terms of guidance as the US Javelin. The Kornet's tandem heat warhead is just as intimidating for its size. With a 152-millimeter diameter, it is one of the largest and most powerful ATGMs ever built. This feature is meant to defeat the threats posed by explosive reactive armor on modern tanks.

Hello, everybody. I'm Yukkapirtila. I'm presenting here joint work with the chair, Maria Joste and Tina Kaidu, Uganda Revenue Authority, Joseph Kello also from the URA and then our colleague Pia Rattenhooper from UNU-wide. And our title is Taxpayer Response to Greater Progressivity Evidence from Personal Income Tax Reform in Uganda. So I want to shift the focus a little bit. I mean, we are not bypassing revenue here, but we are also worrying a little bit about the distribution of the tax burden across the taxpayers. So by way of motivation, one notices when one looks at the data on the income tax rates and also on the revenues that the personal income tax rates in the sub-Saharan African countries, SSA for short, are low in international comparison. So here's information from a study by McNap and Granger. What you can see at the bottom line, the yellowish line, is the average highest marginal tax rate on personal incomes in African countries and it's close to 30 percent, which is significantly below to what it is in the OECD countries. So that would be the line here. Is that maroon? I'm always very bad with colors. But anyway, so there's a big gap and the rates are low. On the other hand, we know that income inequality in African countries is substantial. So here's data, apologies for the small numbers, but here's data from a set of countries. Uganda is not included, but Uganda wouldn't be very different, I would guess. Which shows, first of all, how high the income inequality genie coefficient is for some African countries and how little it's reduced by the tax system. So the disposable income inequality is almost equally as high as the marketing of inequalities. And the tax system doesn't even do much for poverty reduction. On the contrary, it can even increase poverty numbers because also some of those who are close to the poverty line need to pay the tax. So, of course, this begs the question whether it would make sense to raise the tax rates for the high income earners in the African countries. There's also some optimal tax background that we can look into when thinking of taxis and setting the tax rates, also including for the top income earners. And this is work stemming from the Nobel Prize winning economist Jim Merleys and much of subsequent work. It shows that the socially desirable top tax rate is relatively high if the inequality aversion in society is at the high level or if the pre-tax incomes are unequally distributed. On the other hand, it would have to be a lower one if there are major efficiency losses from those high tax rates. So if high tax rates then lead people to report lower incomes to the tax authority. So it would be key to know some of these, to quantify these things, especially how reactive the tax base is to change these to tax rates. And that's what we try to do in this paper. There's little prior evidence on how the tax base reacts when the top tax rates is changed from developing countries. So that's, we would argue, our contribution to the academic literature is then to provide that sort of evidence. So what do we do in the paper? We use the Uganda Revenue Authority administrative tax data to examine the so-called elasticity of taxable earned income. And we use the, for the empirical analysis, we zoom into the tax policy reform in 2012-13. When, among other things, the Ugandan tax system was changed so that the top marginal tax rate was raised by 10% its points, namely from 30% to 40%, which is a substantial increase in the tax system. So we want to gauge the revenue and inequality consequences of this policy change. Taking into account those potential behavioural reactions that some of the taxpayers will be reporting lower incomes now after the reform because the tax rate went up. Why did Uganda carry out this reform? In our understanding, that was a response to the fact that the tax system hadn't been changed for years. And when inflation had been going on, that had led to an increase in the tax burden for the lower-medium income earners. The government wanted to alleviate this burden, but recoup some of the revenues by increasing this tax rate at the top. So it was a progressivity-increasing tax reform. And a new top tax rate was introduced on persons earning more than 10 million Uganda shillings a month, which is at the ballpark of 3,000 USD. And given that the average Ugandan taxpayer has relatively low incomes, this tax was actually a tax on the top 1% of the income earners, quite closely to the top 1%. So here's information about how the tax rate schedule looks like in Uganda. This is the, I have the pointer here, yes. So these are the marginal tax rate schedules, and this is the average tax rate that increases more smoothly. So what we do in this paper, we really focus on the top group of income earners. And we are looking at those income earners who are about the threshold value, whose marginal tax rate jumped by 10 percentage points. And we are comparing their income developments to those who are just below who continue to pay the 30% marginal tax rates on any additional income they will be earning. In the paper, we also look at the sum of the other groups affected by this reform. But in this talk, I'm now going to focus on the most salient aspect of the reform, which is the top 10%, a top 1% increase. As I said, we use data from the administrative records of the Uganda Revenue Authority. So the data includes monthly pay as you earn returns filed by the employers on behalf of the employees. We are covering five fiscal years in this analysis from 2010, 11 to 2014, 15. And a particular point that I need to raise is that while all the employers at that time had a unique tax identification number, which means that we can follow the same employer across time, not all employees had one. So that means that we are actually using the data in a cross-sectional manner when it comes to the employees. And it could be a disadvantage, but on the other hand we know that the so-called panel economic techniques using the individual level data could actually be problematic because of the so-called mid-reversion issue, which we are going to bypass here when we are using the so-called cross-sectional approach. So the empirical approach is a variation of a different difference in differences design, where we are focusing to the tax reform of 2012, where we have two pre-reform years. Unfortunately, we don't have more of those pre-reform years because that's when the digital system started. And we look at the three post reform years as is quite customary in the literature. And we are comparing the so-called treated group, which is a top 1% of taxpayers. And then we have a comparison or control group, which consists of taxpayers, who are then the next 4% of income earners. And we express then the results as an elasticity of taxable income. And this measures then the change in the reported earnings relative to the change in the one minus the marginal tax rate, namely the net of the tax rate. And when we do the analysis, when we actually use this narrow control group, we do find that the treated group's income declined more than the comparison group incomes, but the decline was not statistically significant from zero. And on the right, you can see this event study type of plot, which compares the income developments of the treated group relative to the incomes of the control group. And the incomes decline, but then the confidence bands include zero. So this means that this is not statistically significant. However, if we were to use a broader control group, we would be detecting a significant reduction in the incomes. But we feel that the narrow control group is more comparable to the treated group, and that's why these are our favorite results. However, the macro level results, if you wish, hide some heterogeneity in the results. And if we zoom in to the taxpayers or to the employees not employed by firms, what treated by the large or the medium taxpayer office, we actually find a significant negative impact on their incomes. However, we also find that in those firms where the top incomes decrease the most, there's also a sizeable increase in dividend income, suggesting that there's something called income shifting going on in the firms that some of the employees, rather than having salaries, get perhaps now more dividends out of this. This is partly speculation, but this is indicative in the results. So often tax researchers worry about what are the mechanisms that give rise to results. We are saying that at least part of the mechanisms here seems to suggest that some income shifting is taking place. This is, of course, very different from people actually reducing the actual effort, because this can happen even if the labor supply remains the same. We also, as I said, we also look at the revenue and inequality implications, and we come to the conclusion that the reform as a whole contributed to revenue, so that increased revenues in the Yukandan case. We also find that even if the elasticity that we detect 0.5 was significant, it would mean that the new top tax rate wouldn't be about the so-called laffer curve maximum, so that would mean that the Yukanda government would increase revenue by lowering the tax rate, that wouldn't be the case. And then we also find that the reform led to a mild reduction in the inequality among the salary employees that we are looking at. So before the reform, the Gini coefficient amounted to 0.635, and now after the reform it went down to 0.606, so it's still high, but it's a little bit less than it used to be. Although if there's income shifting going on, some of this may not be real reduction in inequality, so that with that caveat this result can be seen. So I summarized before Maria shows me the zero sign. All right, so what we did, we investigated the 2012 reform in the Yukandan case. In this presentation we focused on the top group, the top 1% of income earners, but in the paper you can find results for the other groups as well but for our preferred empirical approach we don't find a statistically significant reduction in top incomes, but we do find a significant impact among the smaller firms, maybe then suggesting that some income shifting may have taken place and then we find that the reform I think was a positive one because it led to a reduction perhaps in inequality and it contributed to the revenues. So we would argue that the results are informative also for similar lower income African countries when they consider reforming their personal income tax systems. Thank you, that's all.


Welcome to this tutorial we have put together to help you get the most out of CDC iMAP. The British Columbia Conservation Data Center assists in the conservation of our province's biodiversity by collecting and sharing scientific data and information about plants, animals, and ecological communities in BC. The CDC maps locations of species in ecological communities that are at risk in BC. You will be able to access this data using CDC iMAP. Remember that absence of element occurrences, or EOs, in your area of interest does not mean they are non-present. A detailed assessment of the property during the appropriate season is the only way to confirm presence or absence. Please use CDC's BC Species and Ecosystems Explorer tool to find out more about species and ecosystems in BC or to find out what may potentially occur in your area of interest. You can Google iMAP BC to find detailed instructions on basic to advanced functionality of the mapping application in general as I am going to provide a quick overview to help you get the most out of the tool quickly. So when you launch the application this is what you'll see. We have the splash page here which tells you a little bit about the data and the CDC. Importantly you can see, get some contact information if you're having trouble with the application or with the data here. Let's look at the layers tab. So the CDC layers are within the fish, wildlife and plant species. We can expand this a bit although not enough to see the titles unfortunately. We'll be working on that. Let me explain a bit about these layers. First of all I'll zoom in to get them to turn on as they are scale dependent. Just take a moment to load. Now the publicly available occurrences is a majority of our data and this is all the locations of species in ecological communities at risk that we have mapped. I'll jump down to this extirpated and historical layer. These are locations, element occurrences that have not been confirmed in 40 years or more. That doesn't mean they don't exist there anymore if they're historical. However we don't have confirmation of them still being there. Finally we have the masked secured layer. This layer essentially tells you that somewhere within this polygon is a secured location element occurrence. To get information about this we have to determine if you have a need to know. As it says here you need to contact CDCdata at gov.bc.ca and provide us with your project. A precise area of interest and why you need the information and we'll determine whether that's the case. Turn these back on. If we expand one of these layers with this arrow we can see we have some options here. One of the interesting ones that I'll show you is we can turn the labels on or off or we can change what labels are seeing. If we choose customize labels and if we would rather see at a quick glance what the English name of that species is or ecological community we can see it that way. I'm going to reset that back to default though. Finally really importantly here is the metadata URL. This will take you to an explanation of what the layer is representing as well as explaining the fields that you will see in the attribute information. Close that. Even if you don't know what you're looking at we can expand the legend here so we can see what these various colors mean. We've also preloaded some other layers that may be of interest to you as a user. Different administrative boundaries as well as land ownership and the biogeoclimatic ecosystem classification layers and eco sections as well. Now one other thing to note at the beginning here is as we set up what we want to view we have different options for basemaps so we can choose imagery which is helpful. Topography and light gray. I'm going to click it back to streets. You can also set your projection here. You have different options. I'll leave that at the default for now and we'll move on. We'll have a look at the navigation tab up here. You've got your usual suspects for moving around the map. Add day to BC layers. This is very helpful if a layer that you would like to view isn't in our preloaded layer. A couple that I would suggest if you're interested in fish wildlife and plant species you can browse through these layers. The wildlife species inventory is useful if you're looking for all species data not restricted to those at risk. These are observation data. There's a lot more in here for ecosystems. Another one you may be interested in would be the critical habitat layer. We can just search for that. Critical habitat. You can add this layer. Note that this is a federal layer. It is not a provincial layer. However, we host it here so you can use it in your analyses. If you, for whatever reason, close your layer list and need it back, you can choose this button. We have a quick print. Quick identifies on a particular polygon but we'll get into that a bit later. Zooming in these various fashions. Zoom to features as location or a layer. I'm going to show you this search window because it's quite useful if we are interested in a particular area. We can search for that and it does come up with useful search results along here. I'm going to zoom to say maybe the Cowichan Lake here. Now, if I decide this is an area of interest that I'm going to be going back to, I can save this as a bookmark to return to at a later date. We can click on the bookmark tab. Bookmark the current extent and name it whatever we want. Cowichan 1. Now we have this as a bookmark location. If we want to browse around the area but then want to return to that, we can use this little bookmark tool and go back to Cowichan 1. There we go. Finally, on this ribbon, we can upload spatial data. As you can see, there's a lot of supported file types. I'm going to upload a shape file. I have my Kelowna test area of interest. We'll open that. This is just a randomly drawn polygon. Here we can adjust the transparency of what we're seeing so we can see what's underneath it. Proceed. There we go. This is just a randomly drawn created shape file from previously. That I previously created. Now let's go on to the markup ribbon along here. As you can see, you can draw in the usual fashions. Once you've drawn, you can edit those or erase it or clear the whole, all the things you've drawn. Add a grid, clear the grid, and plot coordinates. Another thing I want to point out is that as you start working in this IMAP, you will see windows start to build up. You can just close those and we can close the search results so that we just have our basic layers showing. The export tab can be used to print a map. You can set your title. It will have the usual things like legend and north arrow. Export will just export the map view that you're looking at. The geotiff, you can export the map you're looking at in a geo-referenced image so you can bring that into other applications such as ArcMap. If you have been drawing on your map with graphics, you can also save those markups as a shape file, which is very useful. Now let's move on to the interesting stuff using the find ribbon. There's the usual distance and area measurements here. Double click and you can see that's 4,000 meters. Let's start it over here. The CDC quick select filter is really a very simple selection or filter. You can only select by one attribute at a time. Let's see what it looks like. If we want to select, for example, one particular species or community or a particular taxonomic group, this would be the way to do it. I'll hit next. I'm only interested in certain, let's see, certain species. For example, Alaska, Hollyfern, let's pick that. Here are the results that we see for that. I'm going to go into what you can do with these results in a little bit. For now, we're just going to move on to try a different kind of query. I'm not going to spend time on these two buttons here. The query and the filter are both SQL based options you have. If you're comfortable in that, that's great. You can go ahead and add multiple criteria to a query. If you want to know more, I would go to the general IMAP application instructions, and they'll help you with that. What I want to do is show you some more basic quick tools to get the information you need. Let's go back to our previous extent, which is a little more meaningful, back to our find, and I'm going to just close these two windows here. Let's look at these tools. If you're zoomed into an area of interest that you know the general area, you want to just click on the map and draw the area you're interested in, I suggest using this find data. If we just want to know what's on a particular point location, we can click that and see what occurs right here. There's just American Badger. However, we can also use these options of enabling buffering. If we want to know what's within three kilometers of the point we're clicking on the map, or even draw a polygon and want to know what's within a few kilometers of that, we can add these options. I'm going to move to an area, let's see, there we go. I want to know what's in this area. It looks really messy and it's hard for me to really determine what's in that area. So I'm going to enable my buffering, I'm going to close my results there, enable buffering and choose three kilometers as the distance I'm interested in and I'd like to see what that looks like on the map and continue. Now we need to set our identifiable layers. Now by default, they're all selected. Now we don't want to see everything that's in the area, we want to concentrate on, in this case, the CDC data, as well as any others you've uploaded, for example, the critical habitat or wildlife species inventory. But I'm going to start by clearing all the layers and then only add the ones that I'm interested in seeing. Now it's telling us here to draw a shape on the map and double click when finished and double click. It's then buffered that by three kilometers so we can see it jumped out a bit from where I actually drew. And it can take a little while sometimes to get all the results, but as you can see we have 97 in that area of interest. Now you need to note that every time you do a new search or identify it will replace what is your selected, these are your selected records with a new set. So if you move on to do another selection you're going to lose all of these. Now you can, however, save this identify selected set by going here and saving your results. So we could call this a random Okanagan polygon search. That way you can go back to them at a later date. Now I'm going to move on to a new spatial query, a new tool that we've created recently called the spatial query. This should walk you step by step through the process of selecting by an area of interest. And this does include the same kind of idea as you can do here. This is just a quicker step if you're just going to draw on the map. And after that I will show you what you can do with the results that you get. So I'm going to close my identifiable layers, close my buffer. I'm going to disable this buffering in case it starts confusing things. And as you can see we've lost our window here. I'm going to go back to the navigation and view our layer list again. It kind of just helps me a little bit. So we'll look at the spatial query. So this should talk you through step by step but we'll go through it. Select the layers that you want to query. So here you can get the results from multiple layers. You can also select any others you're interested in in your list. Next. And selecting your intersect method. So you can get all the results for your current extent. You can get results for an uploaded layer. And this is where I'm going to use the shapefile that we uploaded as an example. Or selected feature. And this would mean if you are interested in a selected polygon from another layer in the list available, then we can use that for example by a particular park or municipality. Or you can draw graphics as we did up above. I'm going to use uploaded layer. And we've only uploaded the ones. It will be the Kelowna test AOI. Next. And that will think for a moment. And here we have our results. And as you can see the results go up and up as it searches through each layer available. Let's just navigate over to where our shapefile is. And I don't think I have it turned on. So we'll turn that on. And you can see all of these red dots are where we have selected element occurrence. So now let's have a look at what we can do with the results we have. We'll go back to these 71. So record by record we could zoom on this and it will, or sorry, click on that and it will zoom into that actual record. Or we can view all the details of that element occurrence. So you can see there's a lot of information there. We can open up BC species and ecosystems explorer. So this is kind of cool. If you click on that it will actually run a search with our other tool. And give you these results and you can refer to the reports for a lot more information about that particular element. I'm going to close this though. Run a CDC report. So if we click on this it will return a PDF of all of the information that you see here in a reader friendly format. So that's useful. I'm going to close this viewing of the one record though.  Switch to table format. So if we do that we can see the same information in a table format as opposed to list. So these are the three layers. From here the only difference between the list view is that you can export to Excel. I'll go through the other options in a moment but I'm a little more comfortable in the list view. Other options include you can actually buffer on the selected occurrences, export these results to a CSV, export all these results to a shapefile. So this is obviously very useful and it will create as many shapefiles as you have layers that are in your results. So in this case we likely have three layers. So this is basically accessible, extirpated and historical and the masked. Of course the masked layer will only result in a polygon with no attributes. Now as mentioned when you do a new query, spatial query, you will have different results. So to save the ones you have currently you can save them here. You can combine the results with another search you've done. Or from here you can run the species and ecosystem report which will summarize all of the selected occurrences you have currently selected. I'm going to show you just a couple more interesting things with this new find, sorry the new spatial query. If we do want to do a search using graphics, we can choose the graphic we want to use to search by. It prompts us to draw a polygon on the map so we can do so, double click, geometry captured, we'll go next. And then we can buffer it or not, I'm not going to. Then we can add more polygons so we can actually create a number of areas of interest which is kind of cool. Next I'm not going to buffer that and then I'm going to submit those areas. And there we go. Now finally I want to do the last query of a selected polygon from another layer. So I'm going to close these results. I'm going to turn off that Kelowna layer and let's say we wanted to select by Provincial Park. I'm going to turn off all of these other layers that I don't want to see right now and turn on the Provincial Parks layer. So Okanagan Mountain Park, let's say we want to know all of the element occurrences mapped within Okanagan Mountain Park. I'm going to make sure that in my identifiable layers that I have that layer selected. Again we'll clear them all and just make sure that we have Provincial Park selected and identify there. Ok so there we have Okanagan Mountain Park now selected. I'm going to use my spatial query. Actually let's turn on our CDC layers now so we can just see what we're looking at. I'm going to go back to the spatial query. Select those layers I'm interested in getting results for next. And our intersect method this time will be selected features. So as you can see it's now just selecting everything within the Okanagan Mountain Park. And we have 33 results for that. And we can go ahead and do what we want with those results. And that concludes the overview of the CDC IMAP application. I hope you learned a tip or two from the video. And if you need help please contact CDCdata at GOV.BC.ca. And remember to use the BC species and ecosystems explorer tools well to get more information about species and communities in BC. Thank you for listening.


T F N N headline news update everyone July is begun July the first Monday and it is the noon T F N N update Basil Chapman here and I am the host of the Tiger technicians hour coming up straight after this update and the author of the opening call daily newsletter. We're looking at the doubt twenty six thousand seven thirty one obviously the good news over the weekend was the market like this put it that way but we have not made that leg see that missing leg see above twenty six thousand nine or seven went all the way today to twenty six thousand eight ninety twenty six twenty and it's called a 30 points away from starting a new leg see I believe in the Chapman methodology we should get that we should also get a D but I think the upside of this particular point before we take a digestive period is limited I we are still long from the July from the June 3rd low for subscribers in the town where I like what I see but I am looking at a lot of resistance coming up so let's just say that the twenty seven thousand to twenty seven thousand one hundred and thirty area that's kind of where I think we might stall we don't have to but that's what I'm thinking and if it's a leg see that still would mean that we've got a leg D to come but in the meantime that's the area we're looking at key support no matter what happens is in the twenty six thousand five thirty area in the S&P next to the S&P also up nice you have twenty one was up much more earlier on it did go to a leg see unlike the down that's suggesting that when you get to the queues you'll see what I mean that there is gain there should be further upside action to come in all the indices doesn't have to be much but it could be limited but upside nevertheless and at twenty nine sixty three we're looking at a move towards a twenty nine sixty eight maybe twenty nine twenty nine yeah let's say twenty nine sixty eight is the intraday that we might we need to get back to to have a nice recovery otherwise it could be a weak issue close off to such a good move to the upside meantime back of the ranch I think the twenty nine eighty three to twenty nine eighty seven areas where we might stall QQQ as I said is in a leg D pulling back a little bit from the high it's at one eighty nine thirty eight it went to one ninety fifty seven and has to go to one ninety one thirty two gold pool bag very sharply the dollars holding OK so great but it's holding well I'll talk more about that plus crude plus the plus the TLT the bonds and we're going to look at certain stocks that are really important now Basil Chapman signing off for the update I'll be back for my Tiger Technicians hour in a minute or two hope to see you
