So how did it, you turning out for LXLG, how has it been for you? It's been amazing, I met a lot of characters who are academy, so it's an academy. So basically I have kids from under nine to senior team, so I have actually learnt a lot from the academy. We have had quality coaches that work to Ongelesha, so I have learnt a lot from the starting of the process. How was it important that you began here? How is it important? Because my brother started the academy, so I trust him fully, he's my brother, he's my agent, my mentor, so it was important for me to work with him. He also played football, he's an ex-footballer, played for Superpaka, Kibira Celtics, and he's one of my idols. What's his name? Julio Diambo. Julio Diambo. Nice one. So from LXLG you left and you got signed by Kibira United? Yeah, the first season I had with Kibira United was in I think 2021, the first season. No, I went to Europe first. After LXLG you went to Europe? Yes, your experiences in Europe, that's when you signed for Ash Graben? Yes, I used to be an ice club in Europe, in Austria, it's division 4 team. I signed after Corona, that's in 2021, after academy and it was amazing. How was the experiences like transitioning from Kenya now, you're knocking the door of your dreams now? At first it was hard, everything is different there. Moving from different weather to another one, different people, different types of food, everything is different, so at first it was hard to cope with, I complained a lot, but I managed, after 3 months I was okay with some of the things and it went well for the first half season. Well maybe some of the key things that help you adjust quickly? My mentors, my parents, they talk to me every day of my journey, so they calm me down, I used to complain, I used to listen to this and this, the weather, it's cold every day. So Ash Graben, what kind of, how did you break into the team? In the first, I think 3-4 weeks I wasn't in the main team, I was in the under 23, that's like probation, so like the Ochu. So I played about 5-7 games every weekend for the under 23 and the main team cut said I should sign for the main team immediately because I was too good for the under 23, so he gave me a chance in the senior team, that's where it started. And you stayed there for how long? The first time I stayed for 6 months, I did half a season, 6 months is almost half a season, so the first half season was amazing I would say. What would you say about the level, the kind of mental strength one has to be in when you make in such a way, you try to make a career abroad? You have to be strong, I've told this to a lot of people who asked me about Europe and how it is, I tell them you have to be super super strong because after 2 weeks everyone wants to come back because you come from sunny weather, you go there, it's snowy, it's raining every day, you can't play because you're not used to it, different type of food and most people can't adjust to the food, to the people, the language barrier, that's a major factor, the language barrier. How do players navigate that, especially when you have to receive instructions? You just have to, say reversal language. Yeah, but immediately before I went there, I had like a 3 months learning of Doesh, so I had basics, for me I had basics so it wasn't that hard and I continued with lessons when I was there, so it was okay for me because you just need basics for instructions. Yeah, and how did your strengths make you, maybe at this particular club make you a better midfielder? The level of football there is very different from ours in Kenya, it's upgraded I'd say, so when you play with, I've played with, when I was in division 4, I've played with people who once played in the top elite teams in their country, so you really learn a lot, they talk to you, they tell you about their style of play, you get idols there of course in the team, you get players to watch, players to hang out with, so it really proves you both in the field and off the field. And I know, moving forward now, you had also since at Kibira United and Kibira Blacksters, what were these moves meant to do? At Kibira United, first I was in Kibira United before Kibira Blacksters, so the coach that was there at that time was a friend of mine, basically one of the CEOs of LXG also, so he was a friend of mine, so everything worked well, I learnt a lot in the club, it's a community club, so the football there is different, you play for something else. And that's something else is the badge? It's the badge, I used to play for my coach, I don't lie. You died for him? Yes, I died for this friend of mine, I mentor. I mean when you say maybe how crucial is the friendship to help you be at this point? He started mentoring me, he's one of the people who realised me when I was so young, I was almost 9, 10, I used to go to this Kibira Celtic, was one of the teams in the National Super League, that time my brother played there and the coach at Kibira United also played there, so I went to watch them, every game I used to go, so they realised me at such a young age and started grooming me slowly by slowly, and as soon as they started the LXG academy I was inducted. And maybe we can talk about playing for the badge, how important is for a player to realise that you need to play for the badge? It needs realisation and maybe you have to have a certain relationship with the team that's beyond football, maybe your father played there, maybe it's your community, it's where you live, that's the village where the team comes from, so that's basically it. So the next move, what are you eyeing? I'm eyeing to play in the NSL maybe once again, maybe better and maybe in the Premier League, not anything less. And looking at your journey maybe going back again, the transfer window when it opens? Yeah, when they transfer windows my agents are overworking, they'll find something for me, something good, I trust them. So as I said earlier, I think I'll play in the Premier League NSL or outside the country. What kind of qualities do you think players who majorly seek careers abroad, what kind of new thing the outside world is looking for? First of all you have to have talent, your talent must be enough and then accompanied by hard work. You have to strive, you have to have strong mentality and that's basically it. Do you think that maybe elsewhere players have a better start, they have an advantage of some sort? Do you think that shows when players especially now move to such places? Yeah, some people have been groomed better than others, that's the truth. So they will get bigger opportunities, maybe more opportunities abroad or just bigger clubs. So that's just the truth of the game. So right now when you returned you did not sign for any club? No, I decided to take a rest. I didn't quit, I decided to... So you quit? Yeah, people say they quit but I told them it's just a normal break. Most footballers do it if you're keen, most footballers do it because this sport is sometimes devastating. You train these that sometimes you're frustrated about this and that because you also have life beyond football. You have studies, you have family, so it's a lot. So sometimes when everything is just happening take a break and that's what I did. How did you use those moments to come up again? I just needed a break to think about decisions and what I should do to improve myself as a person first of all. And also as a player. At 23, that was too early for people to say you had hung your boots? Yeah, it's crazy. I didn't write anywhere I hung my boots. I just didn't sign for any club for the last half a season. So there was rumas, I quit, then people find me in Kwamtauko. They say you don't play football anymore, you've disappointed a lot of people. And also maybe your moves to Europe and coming back? Yeah, they expect a lot from me. How do you handle the pressure? I've just learned to listen to them and just tell them it's this and this. Because not everyone goes to Europe, not everyone gets a chance. It's only a few people who get a chance to go to Europe. It's not because of anything or favor, it's just opportunities. So when you go to Europe and you're from, let's say, Aslaamagedo, people have more expectations from you. And such a thing that I did, I didn't sign anywhere. It got almost half of the community devastated because they were like, how can you go to Europe and you are young and then you hang your boots, it doesn't even make sense. And maybe players from places where you come from, cut from a different cloth, what kind of experiences and how they shape you? I'm from Kibera, Islam. So we have a lot of talent there. There's too much talent, especially in football, everyone plays football there. And everyone is talented. So you learn from different people, you have people you look at, you have friends, people you hang out with. So they influence a lot in you, especially Mimi. So yeah. Yes. And in your position, who is your role model in attacking midfield role? General. Yes. It's tough. I'd say maybe Kevin De Bruyne. Kevin De Bruyne, right? And also we hope to see you going up and up, earning call-ups, national call-ups, and also featuring for the top tier teams in the league, right? So you'll be going back, you'll be turning out for Kibera Blacksters, this forthcoming window. Okay. All the best, we've been speaking to Moses Lahimo, formerly turned out for Kibera United, so Kibera Blacksters and also Heather Stint with Ash Graben, that's in Austria, right? On his career, 23 year old attacking midfielder. Thank you so much, Moses, for gracing touchline and we wish you all the best. Up next is the fan zone with Tyres.


The following is a presentation of TFNN the Tiger Technician Hour with your host Hazel Chapman call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648 Yeah on this Tuesday the 20th of June gosh the month seems to have flown by we're looking at the Dow down ups a wrong one let's go to the Dow right yeah there we are looking at the Dow down 233 now this is going to be really important why look when you get a leg D we're waiting waiting waiting for the Chapman waves to make a leg D when you get that D and then you immediately turn down sharply first of all the candle that I didn't type in and I'll type in now because I didn't forgot to do that Chapman wave roll candle so there's a particular candle that I make it make it quite an important note of whenever it occurs if it's at the top usually you will get it where there's a tiny wick at the top and then a sharp move down and then a long wick because halfway to three-quarters of the way the bounce up creates the candle that looks like a Roman cat when it's inverted red Roman candle at the top it has almost the same implication but the methodology is a little different in that let me just change the size you make that a nine there are in that when it is upside down there was a long wick and then the red big red body halfway going to the top with a tiny little wick at the top I can say if there is a round if there is a slide that goes halfway into the wick for instance this was a good one right here and that's a small but it's a Chapman wave Roman candle nevertheless if there's a move in a shorter time frame that goes halfway into the wick and holds for a certain period of time be careful because it's there's a great chance that it could just not only drop but actually touch the low that was made but if it closes above that two out of three sessions above the wick high that's really positive that's exactly what you saw here on the low of 25th of May at 32,586 in the Dow the inverse would be and I didn't make a big deal about it because my feeling was that we were going to see some negative action not only that the Chapman wave very low Tring gauge on Friday suggested that there should be the very next trading day there should be a very weak Dow before it should go negative before it tries to rally and go positive but it should go negative well we got that in the futures yesterday the Dow futures were down but we got the same thing today now this is the issue you see this nine-period moving average above the 14 way up and it is at this time it's a 34,022 and the black 14-period moving average is a 33,085 to get that green to slump and go down sharply and cross negative you would have to see the Dow to 33,700 probably 32,600 level it's time or it's price or it's both and as far as I'm concerned one of the reasons why I said no we won't go short just yet we are still long three times long the Dow ups I shouldn't say that because I think we just got taken out let me just double check no I don't think we did I needed to check I want to talk apples to apples I said yeah no we're still long and the one of the reasons is to get that nine-period I see this all the time this is one of the reasons why every every minute of the day that I'm around I'll be I'll be looking or trading or looking at the the way the nine-period moving average and this is what I worked on last week while I was out of town how what are the opportunities to get a two-click session that's number one that in other words based mostly on the 10-minute chart if you can get the low of the of the morning can you get a two-click session that goes all the way to early afternoon maybe two o'clock but sometimes as on Friday it goes all the way to the close or it has on other days so what I'm looking at here is that that that was one study but the other is the nine-period moving average look it's green look what had to happen in this particular instance for this one this 10-minute chart to go negative not only did you have to drop sharply you really had to plummet yet it's and not really not only that it took all the way for 1 2 3 took 30 40 minutes it took 40 minutes for it to turn negative so that's what I'm looking at here that there's a process that's involved the greater the distance between the two moving averages the longer the time and the greater the price takes to reverse that so here we are we haven't even touched the green nine-period moving average I suspect that there are still buyers out there and you're going to see a flurry of activity you remember late David White used to talk about used to talk about the crossover in terms of the nine-period moving average but he used it in a very different way where we come down sharply then you bounce and then if you come back under it that's usually very negative I have a slightly different way of looking at that but I have the pattern that I call the dreaded age I'm suspecting we're going to get some form of a U shaped pattern and then we'll full gap at some point this week maybe but we'll get above the close the lower Friday was just 34,285 we got a distance to be 300 points below that and we'll get somewhere into this candle and then we'll see what happens remember my rule count the inverse chapter we've Roman care read Roman candle there's an inverse one is that I want to see two closes out of three sessions doesn't matter what it is is the daily bars underneath that low and that'll say to me okay now you're going to start to see weakness occur in the nine-period moving average you haven't yet look even the MACD look at that distance between the high the nine-period differential green and the red 26 period expenditure moving average but the stochastic has gone down from the 90s to 87% still very positive but it is turning down on balance volume blue turned down sharpening relative strength is still pretty good around about 52% so that's the dating wiki chart says we fulfilled everything we wanted there's a left side right side price time match from the 34,712 high peak B way back in that was November I believe and just double check that was December the say week of the 16th to the midpoint the long-legged doji candle of the 17th of week of the 17th of March at 31,429 and now we've run up and it went to the day but it missed the price it went perfectly in time but it hasn't gone perfectly in price so the higher of 34,588 on Friday missed the 34,712 level I don't think it's going to get in this move right now this is the choppy period that we're looking at and yeah you know I probably should have started one short position in the position that we wanted and said let's add it at a certain point because it's going to be a process and I suspect that the process is going to be one there whereby there's just one sudden spike to the upside that fails and that's the one that you really have to time perfectly all right so I spent a little time on the Dow why because that to me is so important it is a leg deep on to a potential peak peak today let's just go to the E-mini we're on our way out for this particular break we'll be right back TfNN has launched the Tiger's Den hosted at Discord TfNN has been

educating investors toll free at 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> Hi folks so just let me talk about this very quickly we're talking about the 200-period moving average in the 10-minute chart of the E-mini this is the September E-mini look at this it touched it way back there that PB minus it failed at about just before four o'clock on I think it was Friday was that Friday on the 19th what is that the 19th yep the 19th and look what happened it kept trying to get even though it made peak days it couldn't get there couldn't get there couldn't get there went to an A and then a B minus right there at 4 10 this morning a.m. and then it had a really nice move from this love I think it was 32 yeah 44 32.00 round number low it goes peak A peak B peak C crosses positive D pulls back holds the 9-period moving average the 9-period moving average never went negative in the 10-minute chart then it goes to an E and fails under the neath and I'd say typed into the then 44 44 to 44 46 that's going to be very strong resistance and what we did was we ran all the way in this instance to 44 45 point right zero zero round number and now it's pulling back sharply so that's the 10-minute point I just wanted to show you that that 200-period moving average and one of the things I'd like to look at is see if this is early morning five o'clock six o'clock you make some kind of a low and then it really sharply and that takes you to about the 8 39 o'clock time frame where the news is you know got this economic news and all that then there's the time from 10 from from that moment until 10 20 so you've got your your early very early morning action mostly overseas but early morning then you've got kind of a consolidation going to 10 20 and a 10 20 exactly now as we are 10 20 on the 20th of June this is where you're going to start to see the real action come in and that should take you to about between 12 30 and maybe 115 and then you get the afternoon session and that's going to be very important and I see it at this particular moment the action from Thursday into Friday and then Sunday night into Monday in the futures and then the action going into this afternoon is going to be really important the deeper we go down the less chance you get in this particular phase this particular week of going very much higher now let me show you something that I in the video I did for my subscribers every weekend I do a video about 45 minutes to an hour hour and five minutes just going over a whole bunch of things the overview in the market the different sectors what they might be looking at what I'm looking at what I'd like to get what I've missed what I'd like to get in a pullback etc and what we're looking at here is that yes the Dow is making a pd I said that there's a real good chance that we make that pd there was a real good chance that the s and p which has an alternate alternate count g says see could in fact hold quite nicely have one spike that gets us close that makes like a c1 c2 or maybe even a d but we are getting really close in this particular phase to some kind of consolidation but look at this caterpillar which has an alternate count went to a peak e but you've got pave which is has all of those ingredients this is the global x us infrastructure development etf there's no other way I can count this I've got this as a c and that's the reason it's one of the few reasons why I was looking at many reasons but a couple of reasons that came in that said you know it's going to be rotational probably we're going to be pulling back and what's really important is how does the area in the pave which is the infrastructure how does the slx which is the this is the vent egg vector steel etf I'm calling this a peak b how does it consolidate there's still residual strength how does it unfold how does there was one of the stuff I want to look at right now oh apple apple has an alternate count g slash b but look at technically stronger days right now it started to show signs of a little bit of wear and tear but as we as we're looking at it right now up seven cents and 184 185 it's just holding fabulously so that's the reason why I'm thinking that there's a there's a process that's going on but now that the dow is down 350 that is a bigger number and one of the reasons is you've got bowing which is heavily weighted in the dow which went to a peak d e double top wow I love these double tops it's just amazing I thought I looked at it over the weekend I guess I didn't look at this the high of a week ago was on the 12th of June 223.9 91 the high on Friday was 223.87 four cents difference I mean I just didn't I don't know how to explain this because if you go back to February the week of the 17th of February of this year 271.31 was the high 271 wait I think I wrote that wrong I mean 221 I wasn't saying no that's impossible 221 30 31 I mean really how does that happen look how close look at this 221.31 and here we are double topping at 223.91 and 223.87 I mean that's just amazing right and here you are talking about months going from February to June so it's fascinating that it happens but it did make a leg see in the monthly chart down really sharpie and that's part of the doubt at this particular point is starting to see the the the diversion of instruments in the components between the cyclicals which Boeing is a cyclical and something like let's go to something like what kind of Amgen Amgen and Amgen is trading down just a little bit 80 cents at 228.86 but it's in the Dow so you've got this diversion between buy a farmer give me a break why you've got a cyclical so the Dow industrials forget that so now what we're looking at is this is a rotational correction because even when I'm looking at deer deer is only down three at 404.74 this is a peak A peak B and a peak C there's no new high today there's no other way and it should go with with a buy mode in place it should there's just absolutely no reason why I shouldn't go there one extra leg to give you that leg D and then we can pull back and that's what I'm saying I think this is a process and it might be a rotational process that in fact the overall Dow because it's already made a D can start your fair and some of these others they linger and linger and they just manage to scrape to a new recovery height to get that leg D like pave it's it all right enough with that now what I want you to show you is this just to do it real quickly because I can't remember if I did it during the opening segment of the of the update to 10 o'clock so the S&P is now down 40 at 43.70 and if you're looking at the mag D it's flattening a little bit but it's still very strong stochastic still good at 90% on balance volume has pulled back together with the price if you're looking at the QQQ NDX100 trading down 330 at 364.62 with that nine over the 14 the mag is still pretty good and it could be much bigger than the others

seven ounce cans I've been noticing that I actually been talking about this for for years and years and years that we've been slowly watching the the half ounce become you know it gets shrunk down a little bit pound one pound becomes a little less than a pound and the price goes up actually so it's a double whammy but we'll have to get used to that and meantime back at the ranch down the S&P is down 42 a couple of things I just wanted to mention here in passing was that someone had mentioned Amazon Amazon you see this cluster formation with almost like an H pattern has made a G stash seed could almost be a little double top here in this particular instance the Magdi has turned down the stochastic still good at 81% but it's starting to weaken and the on balance volume is weakened but look at the relative strength for the last week as the price has been up near these recovery highs this gray line right here the relative strength has been weakening so in this particular instance I would say that yeah if I think someone said they would they started a buy or nibbling on Amazon is that what I saw I just say be a little careful in this particular phase right now because I think that the heavies are the ones that are going to come have a little bit of a pullback at this point I don't see anything more than a reasonable you know 3% 5% even pullback if you're looking at I showed apple let's see where apple is now apple is now down 17 cents you see just sort of reversal it's got the pressure of the markets that even the winners are starting to focus now on the general market as some money's been taken off I'm my big concern is that the XLF I was worried about it over the weekend and I said at the 200 period moving average that makes me look in leg F I'm not even it says that it could be a chapter with instant restart but I said I'm more inclined to keep this as an F right now the MACDs goods the castics good 87% even with this pullback on balance on was very weak rental strength to start to weaken but still pretty good and the 90s still way over the 14 but I'm concerned that it didn't show the kind of leadership that I wanted which said that the financials S&P select financial spider fund should have gone a lot higher should have gone and held in the 34s instead of not getting to 34 and now pulling back to 33.02 that includes KRE trading at 41.94 I just wanted to check something here you see I tighten the stop so that we still make a profit we are no more long and one of the reasons is because of this cluster formation this should become an a cup so that the next move would be above the higher Friday and the way it was acting I threw myself if it takes out the low of Thursday and that low on KRE which is the S&P regional banking ETF is at 42.47 we could go quite a bit lower if this market is ready for some kind of a digestive phase so I tighten the stop so we made a little bit of money but we're out and I'll have to wait again and I'll have to wait for the XLF and I'll have to wait because Bank of America was what we normally get into every year for the last seven years or so but for the last six or eight months or more maybe we haven't gone into that I just do not like the way it's acting and that's part of this whole thing that I was trying to impart to my subscribers over the weekend in my overview video is that this is a market that favors some sectors and we took a stock the other day that was out of the ordinary it was it was a non-GMO of food company I thought let's see if this can go under the under the radar have a decent rally and at least whole steady and show me that we got a rotational market in that other sectors are starting to work rather than just the artificial intelligence and the tax sector it didn't work out so that's said to me hey the financials haven't been acting very well just be a little careful here so we can come back but I'm out I just don't like this now I'm going to mention bots which is something we're talking about and I say it's getting very overboard we're lucky to get on almost at the exact top of we've got we're taking a little bit off we've got we've got a position we're taking a little bit off I wanted a bigger position so now we have to wait we've taken really good gains I I'm just look at leg E in the weekly chart a beautiful I don't want to spend time on this now cut formation a breaks out doubles to the upside I like everything about it but it's overboard there's no question global ex robotics and AI ETF we'll get we'll add back we've already we have how holding the core position but we will get back the parts that we took off plus the second position at some point I like the sector but I think right now there's telling us that it is extremely overbought all right so with that said we've taken profits in a lot of things we've raised our cash position I'm even looking at this do you remember I spoke about the DBA which is in leg C yes another reason why I said we couldn't see some kind of a rotation here and then sudden spikes to the upside maybe not taking out the highs but you've got this DBA agricultural fund looking like it wants to get to a leg D the high on Friday was 22.07 was it no 22 round oh did you realize 22 round number high today's high is 21.99 so so far this is going to look like it could make a peak C but when we expect a peak D and that's all those grades the grades did fantastically yes wheat does wheat a leg C pulls back today but it's still close to the high of Friday that's the same as the DBA look at soybeans continuous contract extended higher leg B look at a corn extended higher leg D so all of these are suggesting and this is the this is the part that I think the Fed has to really be concerned about all of this is suggesting that that whole rotation between crude oil pulling back and look at this yes crude oil down to dollar 71 and 70.21 it's not been going anywhere I've spoken everybody kept saying crude oil going up to the 90s as someone said I heard someone say right back to the highs of earlier earlier this last year you know I said they couldn't be right I just don't see it in the chart maybe I'm wrong but I just don't see it and you can see it's stuck in a trading range at some point if crude oil is trading at 78 I have a completely different opinion I'm sure but at this particular point you've got deflation in this whole sector that's so important which is the crude oil you've got deflation if you're looking at high grade copper high grade copper pulling back a tad at 3.86 on the continuous contract but look at the weekly and monthly chart lower lows and lower highs look at wood the ice shares global timber and forestry ETF made an alternate count E slash B the other day under the 200 period moving average but look at the weekly it's just in a sideways range this is timber and forestry worldwide ETF so that says to me aha but nobody was looking to see grains suddenly move up so sharply so that's the dba and that says so here we have some deflationary aspects in the commodities that's oil that's gold let me just go back to gold uh can I do that yes gold look at that now down 27 wheat these are important soybean I mean this is so important let's see what live cattle is doing live cattle made a peak denouced stolen yeah so I'm looking at a

was asked about so the uh triple m triple m traded down to the 92s about three weeks or so ago had a big gap up spike and has not filled that gap at all in fact it's made a higher high it's down today down three at 101.50 and this just speaks to a couple of things first of all let me explain what i want you to do is coincidentally having been asked about this it's just purely coincidental that i'm also going to use this as an example so in the chapel wave you see we're coming down here this is a trough e and as soon as it rallies it still remains a trough e but the moment that this low of the week of 24th of march at 105.48 he's taken out you've got to be real careful um in naming this because that becomes a leg after the downside i also like to have a look back because if there was a chapel wave incident restart on the downside you could have an alternate count this would become e slash b a and this becomes f slash b but in the meantime look what happened it makes a low at 92.38 the week of the second of uh june there's a weekly chart have a look at this you see this huge spike and you see that i cannot put a leg a here why cannot i not put a leg a here because i have to wait i don't know that that's the low bar i can only start the count after a trough is made so if there is the next day if the low is not 92.38 but 92.39 that becomes a trough even though it's one penny i can start the wave count so this is wrong in fact let me do this because this is a good example this is not right this is not a leg a because i can only start the count after i've made the trough that's a leg a because there's after the trough over there this is now a brand new a weekly a over there so okay that's number one number two is i remember i think it was sue that called a long time ago i was looking at a triple m and i say you know i i don't like the action of triple m i'd be real careful i think it was now where what i should have made a note where it was i think it was was it in the last was it may yeah i maybe it was somewhere over there anyway it was in the hundred and four hundred and five area and i said just be real careful and then i made a peak c1 c2 the implication is that it didn't go by one penny higher than peak c it stole just under it in other words it went to 190 oh it's 190 it's a little hard to see 107.30 the week of the 18th of uh april uh there we are 107.30 and then the week of the 25th of april it goes to 107.30 down in exact if it went one penny higher that would have been a leg d so because it did that and the magnate was still good and there was a little bump in the stochastic and the on balance volume i said we can call that a peak c2 and then i put a red plus sign above it to say it's going to act exactly like a down arrow but there could be another running to even go to a peak c3 or even a d but be ready that this could turn down and it could be quite sharp well of course it did turn down did make that double top it went to 103 point i said 103 105 point what 83 no wait a minute oh 107.30 that went to 106.83 there so that's like a c2 i didn't put that in i'm going to put that in right now just to show you how the chamois works it is a methodology that needs to be repeated over and over because you don't want to break rules the whole idea of methodology is to stick to the rule this is a rule that was broken on the whole idea of peak d's a long long time i'm talking about when i used to do hand charting still so certainly the early 80s so the rule of thumb being that this acts like a double top do the measure the vertical measure to see if it's weakening and of course it was you can go down a lot deeper well lo and behold we went down to the low of 92.38 that was the week of the first of june then it was a big spike and this is just telling me that there are you know and triple m is a cyclical uh three m is called uh it is in the in the in the area it isn't a heavy duty like like steel or anything but it's like i would consider it to be in the in the area of cyclicals so this to me i normally i would draw a rectangle like this right there right rectangle and say this could climb even in a shorter time span this is a daily chart to a leg d sometimes it doesn't in the exact same time so in the daily chart well this didn't this just went a and then still and the idea is it can go after that flagpole turned down if it's making higher highs and higher lows it can go just under right on or just above the previous high then you've got to be careful because if it breaks and closes below a halfway point of this red long rectangle formation there would be a 101 let's go to 101 let's go to 101 right now that says it could go all the way back down to this low right here and that's the low of 97.29 the week of the 6th of june but look what happened this high was on the second of this is a daily chart second of june was 155 the high on friday was one 104.89 just barely above and now it's pulling back so i'm just going to suggest i think that triple m is attempting now to form some kind of a base to participate in any rally later this year which i think is going to happen uh sometime this summer we could get the next phase to the upside but at the same time just be a little careful so if you're being along anywhere from under say 98 i'd say i i put that in the that's good category if it gets it closes under 98 i'd say hey you know what just if you had a stop in and you're prepared to hold that stop of two points say i'd keep that but under 108 makes me a little nervous because it says it's giving up everything that it's gained this is a good sign that it's a rally but it's also a sign that says look at the weekly the weekly 9th breed moving averages way under the 14th it is improving the magnies improving the stochastics improving the on balance volume is not and that just says could be choppy be careful but that monthly chart is just horrendous so i i suspect that in 2023 this year sometime you will see chopple m and the 114s maybe even higher 116 is 118 is the 200 period no so 118 is the black 14 period moving average of the monthly chart but that's that's that's it next question came in about oh we want to we want to see sx huh c sx i haven't looked at that for a little while c sx very nice rally huh look at that so it didn't take out the starting point here for the buy signal to buy mode which went to a d when it pulled back so the starting point was 30 29.93 it runs all the way to a peak d second peak d in about three or four three or four weeks and it goes to 3307 on the 22nd of may pulls back didn't take that out so i have no choice but and remember i can't use the low bar let me just double check uh this a makes the low cannot be the high as well except in the instant restart at 2d so this is an a right a and we've got to receive is that an opportunity to see could be i'll be back in a moment thousand faces tfnn has just launched their new

can see it pulling back to the 0.45 level um and then i think it needs to rally but the monthly chart is starting to improve enough that i can say possibly by late july maybe august i think it could be retesting the 0.70s uh to the 0.80s if this if it doesn't close below 0.45 that's if it closes under 45 0.45 it's a problem now you i think you have the best you've traded for 10 years you're definitely the best person to to pick out i'm sure you'll be able to pick out a bottom is this the bottom no i think it's trying to establish some kind of a bottom it's not there yet so a couple of things let me just review uh so the dow is actually down sharper than i would have liked to have seen down 340 if it was together with the s and p down 56 instead of down 37 i said okay we are in a process now that's going to make it really hard to rally but i think that there's just enough areas of uh support let's say we can have a sudden spike to the upside i don't think we're going to take out the 34,588 high in the in the dow we have now got no trading position in the s in the u d o w three times long we've taken our profits now we're sitting on the side for that position we've still got a core position from october and i i i i just i pondered this all weekend should i start a position in the short side and i i didn't i said i am pretty top phase and the nine over the 14 the average just says don't fall they could still be some precious up spikes don't have to take out the high up spikes if you are stunned and rolling over the process have a wonderful rest of the day everybody's back in town stay tuned great programming coming up steve is back whoo


Good afternoon. So I'll be presenting on implementing or the ongoing implementation of an electronic medical record system in Amman Reconstructive Surgery Project. So I give you a quick overview of the Reconstructive Surgery Project, which is providing multidisciplinary care, which includes also a psychosocial and rehabilitation component to victims of ongoing violence and instability in neighboring Middle Eastern countries. This project primarily focuses on orthopedic plastic and maxillofacial specialties. The project is currently housed in a 148-bed facility and generally admits between 50 and 55 patients per month with 200 patients present in Amman at any given moment. Generally, the length of stay in this project is four to five months, and the patients, once they move out of our surgical wards, they go to a rehabilitation center. That's the fourth and fifth floor of the hospital, these two top floors, or they can be housed in an off-site location. So since opening in 2006, MSF has treated more than 4,000 patients from Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Palestine. So I just described a couple of challenges that have been experienced by the project since opening in 2006. The hospital team has experienced a number of challenges related to complex duplicative and person-dependent data collection processes, and a significant amount of this data was collected and inputted into over 100 Excel line lists and spreadsheets. Much of this data was related to patient movement and service utilization with very little medical data captured, such as procedure and diagnostic information and lab data. So patients were also followed using three different sequential identifiers during their closer treatment in Oman. Additionally, a new sequential number would be assigned if the patient came back for a subsequent phase of treatment, meaning that if a patient comes to Oman a second or third time, they could be followed with six to nine different identifiers, meaning also that we don't have a patient master index with a unique identifier to follow our patients. We had a lack of standard terminology and definitions. The diagnostic codes and procedures that were utilized by the hospital were also person-dependent. So the primary objective of this implementation was to streamline patient information flow and provide real-time feedback to the clinicians. So the solution proposed with BAMNI, which is an open source EMR system that's been developed by a company in India, and the overarching goals of this implementation of BAMNI was to provide a centralized platform, which can automatically generate a unique identifier, capture patient transition points and statuses, display key patient data, and then display key hospital indicators. So prior to the implementation process, there was an extensive hospital needs assessment that was performed in conjunction with ThoughtWorks, software and technology consulting, or a software and technology company, in India and key hospital stakeholders. At the end of the needs assessment, implementation timeline was proposed, identifying key requirements specified by the hospital team. During this time period, additionally, we managed to improve the hospital infrastructure, which included the recruitment of a system admin, purchasing and placement of three dedicated servers to manage the application. One was acting as our primary server, and then we have two that are redundancies. We also expanded the Wi-Fi network access in the entire hospital. Prior to this step, having a good area where we had good coverage was next to impossible. A governor's structure was also implemented, which was for the formation of a project steering committee. The project steering committee was providing overall direction for the implementation process, prioritizing these high-level features, making sure that the hospital team and the infrastructure for the hospital was ready for the rollout of the application. We did an assessment of the patient flow and information flow. This is an ongoing process that's relevant for each of the releases, which I will discuss in two seconds. And it was to identify any inefficient processes or duplicative processes. The biggest portion of the whole entire implementation process was the creation and definition of the medical data and content, which Kathy has touched upon. This is basically the backbone and maybe the ban of my existence at this point was this medical data definition. So the hospital, in conjunction with ThoughtWorks, is defining any and all medical content that will be incorporated into the EMR. The feature development talks about developing features that such as OPD scheduling, OT scheduling, bed management, importing of microlab results into the application. These are slightly easier to manage for the hospital because we simply relay our requirements to ThoughtWorks and then they build something that we need. So this is the proposed timeline. This is rather the adjusted timeline because the proposed timeline was over a six-month period and as you can see, it's more than six months. So release one was completed in November of 2016. I arrived in the project in July of 2016, so it took us from July until November to complete release one. Release one really involved improvement of the infrastructure and placement of these servers. The rest of the medical content was much easier to handle than in the subsequent releases. So release one involved registering our patients into the application, so we received medical data from the medical liaison officers in the patient's home countries and then this information is inputted into the application. The medical liaison officers in the home countries of Iraq, Syria and Yemen do not have access to the application, they simply send us all of the medical content. Afterwards, we upload all of the medical history forms, the videos, the photos, the x-rays and so on that we're receiving from the MLOs in the home country and then this information is ready to be presented to the surgeons and the anesthetists in the validation committee. Once the patient is registered in the application and a unique identifier is automatically generated once the nationality and the sex of the patient is inputted inside. So whoever's registering the patient has to be very careful when they're coding the nationality and the sex as these IDs at a later point they cannot be changed once they are assigned. Release two was completed in April 2017 and included the initial assessments for the nursing, medical, doctor, anesthesia, physio, surgical and mental health. In encoding these initial assessments into the application we did a lot of extensive work with mapping all the diagnoses and procedures to ICD-10, SNOMED and the international classification of health interventions. So we also have the ability to manage the movement of patients in beds throughout different locations inside the hospital. So we can move patients in beds in the surgical ward to the rehabilitation center, to the off-site location, which is a hotel. And then in the end, once all of this information is inputted for release two, we can generate a patient summary that summarizes or collates all of the key medical information that's necessary for the consultation, for the treatment of the patient. Release three is a really, really big release. It includes the rest of the clinical data that is collected by the hospital and we utilize over 100 protocols and forms and we've managed to accomplish six of them as of release two. The clinical data will include ward, OT, OPD follow-up, physio and psychosocial follow-up. Once all of this clinical data is inputted into the application, we'll be able to generate the discharge summary for the patient and discharge meaning to discharge from the hospital rather than discharge from the surgical ward. Additionally, the key features that will be developed in conjunction with ThoughtWorks will be the ability to generate an OT list, OPD appointments, physio and psychosocial outpatient appointments and then to utilize the medication ordering tab. So the impact of, the implementation, sorry. The impact of a release one was really quite minimal. We had maybe six users that were going to utilize the application at this point in time and the biggest change really was introducing this unique structured patient identifier. The users of release one were also using computers and laptops and their day-to-day management of information so they were quite comfortable with navigation and there was very minimal training involved aside from you giving them the test environment and asking them to click buttons. So release two involved, as I mentioned, standardization of terminology, which was pretty time consuming and labor intensive. We had an OT list Excel sheet that contains all of the surgical acts that have been performed on a patient since the beginning of the project in 2006 and we went through each of these acts and mapped them to ICD-10, SNOMED or the International Classification of Health Interventions. We also implemented the bed management tool prior to this implementation. The ward supervisors and the rehabilitation supervisor were managing with daily Excel spreadsheets so each month they would produce 30 different sheets that would in the end summarize their bed occupancy in each of these locations. And these spreadsheets would have to be constantly updated. We also tweaked the patient and information flow in release two and I just say tweaked because we made just a minor, minor change of the way patients are moving during the initial assessments in the OPD. So rather than the patients seeing any of the care providers during the initial assessments, we would start them with the nurse who's responsible for this set of information, then they move to the OPD doctor, then they see the anesthetist and after they see the surgeon. At the end of the day, we have everything nicely summarized in the patient summary. And then this touches on the visibility of information collected by different care providers. Okay, challenges. There were challenges, yes. So there were a lot of challenges that impacted the original timelines, the six month time period and then resulted in a rather extended transition period for the hospital. This involved the development of the medical content, implementation of information patient flow changes and then communication of detailed requirements to a third party. So the biggest, yeah, I talk about lessons about. Okay, so there were challenges. However, the user feedback has been overwhelming positive from the hospital and they're still surprisingly quite excited about the remaining implementation process. So as I said in release one, we had around six users and then in release two, it increased to 52 users and these users included surgeons, anesthetists, medical doctors and nursing, physio and psychosocial team members. So we did a really quick self-administered six item questionnaire to assess user satisfaction around 20 people responded and generally people were quite satisfied with the overall implementation process. So the question of EMR helps me to do my job better. I think would be more relevant once we have completed the implementation or phase three at the end of October. As right now there are certain people who it actually does help them with their job, meaning that they have for like, for example, the surgeons, they have the complete history of the patient available to them in the application where other departments are kind of managing with using both the paper system in parallel with the electronic system. So what are our lessons learned? There are several listed on this slide but for me, the main lesson I learned since the nine months that I've been working on this project is that we need to focus on the patient flow, information exchange on managing people and then their expectations rather than the technology itself. By managing expectations and everybody has come to the table saying, oh EMR is coming, we can do this and this and this and this and then to say slow down, like Kathy said, we have to prioritize what is the most important for this implementation process. So how do we go about doing this? The project steering committee has really been helpful in setting the direction of this project. They're good at managing the expectations and managing this implementation process. We've provided very early and constant commutation to the hospital team about the status of the implementation. We've placed posters inside most of the hallways on the different floors detailing the timelines which I have to print I think every one month, a revised timeline, but it's okay. And then really as I mentioned to focus on engagement and support of the clinical staff. In this hospital, we've been incredibly lucky. The team has been really involved with generating feedback, with being proactive and giving me advice and giving me support and encouragement even through the difficult times that again the focus needs to be for most implementation. It's the content that is going to be a setback in delaying the timelines. So what are our next steps? Onboarding the remaining hospital staff. I think there are about 50 or so more users who need to be exposed to the application. This includes the ward nurses and the ward doctors and then providing continuous training for the end users. The remaining content development, completing development of key features outside OPD and OT and then this knowledge transfer and ownership to the mission. Meaning we have to document how we've gone this far and document the requirements. My time is running short, sorry. So the last three points you guys couldn't read out. Well done. I'm impressed with everyone for managing to condense so much into so little time. And quite a journey and experience of learning that embedding yourself in that project for nine months. I was particularly struck by the data negotiations and we'll put your brains about that later. But clearly a project with considerable socio-technical challenges as well as heading in the right direction. So can I call up the panel while they're coming? Can we take any questions for clarification first of all? One down at the front there. So I'm not sure I got it completely right. Maybe I misunderstood, but I have the impression that when you did the evaluation, are you looking at how easy it is to actually introduce the data in the system or the use of the data already in the system by the user? Sort of the medical doctors, do they actually use the EMR to look back at their patient and to adapt the treatment for example, or to look at allergies or whatever side effects or social democratic stuff? This is one and the second one. How, I mean because Cathy explained in her presentation that it generated automatically analyzes of some sorts, 28 if I remember well, do you have something similar for the EMR in terms of surgical side infections for example or some other stuff? We're in the initial phases, I would say of the implementation process. So for the initial assessments, we are in the physicians, the nurses are directly inputting using the electronic medical record system and then they can view this information automatically on a patient's summary. We're not at the point where we can, what is output any of the information that we're inputting in the system yet, but this is in the pipeline in the following releases that we have customized reports for indicators and for patient management and so on. Always, another one down here. Catini, OCA, MSF. Thank you very much, really very nice presentation, a lot of work, I must have gone into it. Just a brief question. You mentioned the software, the open source software BAMI. Is that in fact the application, the application is open source software that you've been using and if so, who owns the data and how is the patient privacy being insured, thank you very much. So the software is open source, but I don't wanna say something that I'm not sure about. The servers are hosted inside of our, in our hospital with one that's being out, one that's based in coordination a couple of miles away. But this is not open in the cloud or in a network. It's, you can only access it if you're inside of our hospital and connected to our network. So this is the way it's, the data's not being transferred anywhere right now. It's simply hosted inside the hospital.

Originally, I wasn't really considering Alabama that much, but my mom wanted me to tour here just to, you know, experience it and see what it had to offer. I knew as soon as I stepped foot on this campus that this is where I wanted to call home for the next four years. I loved how, even though it's like 31,000 undergrad students, it felt like a community. You can see people you know, and it just felt like home. I didn't like football before I came here, honestly, and then I came, and just the whole atmosphere, everyone getting together and cheering for something as a group of people were all, like, having fun with each other, and it's just a good time to relax and unwind from stressful weeks at school. I'm in the Honors Fraternity on campus, PSP, and then I'm also in the Society of Women and Engineers. And that's a really cool club because you get to meet a lot of people that you could potentially work for. So there's a lot of opportunities on campus to meet future employers.


Christians attach much significance to the Passover lamb. In the book of Exodus, we learn how the Jews were brought out by God from the land of Egypt. The night that they were brought out from the land of Egypt, God had told them to slaughter a lamb and put the blood of the lamb on the doorposts. And then the destroying angel went through the land of Egypt and smoked the Egyptian firstborn but all the houses that had the blood of the lamb on the doorposts were spared. They were saved. In fact, the word Passover refers to this event. The word Passover refers to God passing over those houses that had the blood of the lamb on their doorposts. And that's all we have. The holiday Passover, the Passover holiday is named after this event. Now Christians attach significance to this. Christians say that the blood of the lamb represents the blood of Jesus. And their argument is that whoever has the blood of Jesus will be saved on the day of judgment. But what does the blood of the lamb mean? In Exodus chapter 8, verse 22, we read how Moses and Pharaoh are having a conversation. Moses was asking Pharaoh, this was before Pharaoh let the Jews out of Egypt. And Moses was saying to Pharaoh, we have to go out and worship our God and worshiping God meant bringing offerings to God. And Pharaoh said, why do you have to go out to do that? Why can't you do that here in Egypt? And Moses responds by saying, we can't do this. The Egyptians won't allow it. We can't slaughter the abomination of the Egyptians. They'll stone us. We can't do this in Egypt. In other words, slaughtering lambs was something that the Egyptians couldn't tolerate for whatever reason, whether it was cultural, whether it was religious. It was something that the Egyptians couldn't tolerate. When the Jewish people took that lamb and they slaughtered it in Egypt and put the blood on the doorpost, what they were saying is that we are servants of God. We are separating ourselves. We are distancing ourselves from the surrounding culture, from the culture of Egypt. For them it's something difficult to do. For them it's something that they would never do. It's something they would look down at us if we would do it, but we're going to do it because God commanded us. The blood of the lamb on the doorpost was a sign that in this house it's not Egypt. It's a different culture in the house as a culture of serving God. It's not a culture of the land around us. That's what the blood of the lamb represents. The blood of the lamb doesn't represent the Christian acceptance of Jesus. The blood of the lamb represents the Jewish rejection of Jesus because the Jewish rejection of Jesus is the Jewish rejection of the religious norms around them. It is the Jewish courage in the face of persecution, in the face of oppression. Is the Jewish courage in remaining loyal to God's command that you should worship me and only me? Obey me and only me? That's what the blood of the lamb represents. Yes, the blood of the lamb is very significant, but it's not what the Christian thinks it means. The blood of the lamb represents obedience to the God of Israel.
