will be in German. Unfortunately we do not have a live translation. If someone would like to hear the talk in English please make sure to visit the live stream because there we do have a translation and it would be the best option for you to find a nice place in the Sun for the live stream because otherwise it's a little bit loud inside here. So yeah this talk will be in German. I do not know how it works for you, but I would really like to hear this talk in front of the camp. Who of you has fled during the construction because he did not have the right knot in his hand or because something went wrong again? Yes, I definitely have to join. I have already seen some of you have ropes with you. I wish you all the best for the next talk, the knot once once, a lot of fun, it can be knotted with and I want you to give us a big applause for our speaker cube. Yes, amazing that I can do that here. Then everyone who came can do it. Good, yes, I am the cube. I will tell you a little bit about knots. First of all, we have the obligatory legal slide. Now, my experience afterwards is that it is difficult to learn visually with knots. So from a diagram or a photo to learn how to do it correctly and also check that it is correct afterwards. That means I would really recommend you if you just want to climb afterwards or something like that. Just get a hands-on training from someone who can also show you that you have turned this rope once or something like that. That is definitely meaningful. Otherwise, please don't complain. Of course, I am not a certified alpinist or anything like that. I will just explain that from my perspective. Exactly, for the people who want to learn a little bit in detail, I will make a workshop next time. I think I have set up the time and the place today, but I will still set it up. And otherwise, I will run the whole camp with a bit of rope. You can come to me and say, hey, show me these knots again. I like to do that. You can give me a bio or a mate. I am looking forward to the cube. Exactly. Now, that with the knots is such a thing. There are different areas of application from which people have learned these knots. And of course, I only know one of these areas of application. I have been a child since 2002 and since 2012 as a person in a youth association in Switzerland. And that is the environment in which I came in contact with knots and got excited about it. Down there you can see a little bit of what that means. With up to 40, up to our highest number, 60 children at some place, you build two days ago about 15 meters high in the mast and then put platforms on it and then pull up a tent. And that looks like this. And on top of that, the children can also look down. That means these knots that I want to show you now are less special abseil knots. So those that will help you when climbing or when sailing or something like that, but more exactly tent construction and a little bit of rope tension, rope bridges, so-called. And generally a few useful tips. Yes, that's how the tent was back in 2012 from the other side of the river, from which it stood. And now I would like to get to it. First of all, a little bit of ranting. Namely, that with knots is such a thing. Because there are always different disciplines that sometimes come at the same time to such a knot, about all knots are known under three different names. Namely, in German. Then you still have two in English. That means I will never use the name of knots anywhere in this talk. And if I use one and the other, because it makes no sense. The problem is, there are problems with the organic chemistry. That's about the same problem. You have right-handedness, you have left-handedness. And there are no real solutions for it yet. There is no single nomenclature for knots. There are sometimes even names that are used for two different knots, which is much worse. And that's why I'm not going to start with the names. Exactly. The first solution or the common solution for the problem is, of course, that you have a successor where they are simply all numbered. That's Clifford Ashley's book of knots. That's generally used as the gold standard reference for the book in which all knots are used. The problem is that Clifford Ashley of course did not describe knots, but uses of knots. That means that one problem is solved, namely that you have one name, the several knots, but you still have several numbers for the knots. You sometimes have a very often used knot, the mastwarp, which has four different numbers, because it is once plugged, once slipped, once thrown, and then you can still use it on a rope. And of course, the number is very little about what it is exactly for a knot. Therefore, if I also leave the A-bock number, Ashley book of knot numbers, I'm sorry. Knocking on literature is of course also bad, because certain errors then slip in and are then continued to be used, especially pre-internet knot literature has sometimes developed evolutionarily from other literature, and I've already seen some of them. You didn't want to look at them. Many knot literature, especially for beginners, for one-handed books and sail-hand books, give a little amount of information for which rope-like knots are useful and what is dangerous with knots, what you should pay attention to. I get stuck in this talk so relatively often on something like this and say where the dangerous things are with knots. If you think that Ashley book of knots has made it better, it came out in 1944. In 1944, we didn't have a synthetic rope yet. That means that Ashley book of knots describes knots exclusively in hand-fute and large shipwork. It didn't exist at the time. I think the first synthetic ropes were just the wrong strings from which the paracord was developed later. But you can't make any wrong knots because they pull too much together. Where we are already going to sail. There are a lot of natural materials that you can see here. There are a lot of synthetic materials. The difference in size and everything is that natural materials almost all pull together under moisture and are usually woven or turned to sail and have a rough surface. This is very useful for some applications. But if you have knots from which you want to hold, you don't use synthetic ropes. And the rope construction is of course also important. We have woven ropes. We have turned ropes. But in this talk I'm only going to deal with core-mantle ropes. So ropes like these two below have a very elastic core in the middle and a mantle on the outside that is very smooth. Of course, some knots that are less well based on friction but if a knot is held in these ropes you can be pretty sure that it holds everywhere else. The default is also that these ropes come with a breakage number how many kilonewtons they can hold. You just know where you are. Here I am in my camp where I bring a few kids ropes and knots. You can see some ropes around and so on. That's what I'm doing. We don't have any fear that the knots will come soon. These are just a few slides. In total, we're talking about two domains in that sense. You have knots to connect two ropes together. Running line means a rope that runs through somewhere. And you have knots that connect an object with a rope or two objects together. Two objects together are called binding knots and a rope on a knot is usually a string in the English hitch. No matter, the English nomenclature is a bit more complicated. Actually, there are three domains that you can connect if you want to connect a person to it. But we already have the experts in the camp here. I don't have to explain that. You will also find symbols in the slides on the bottom right. The first symbol means that a knot can be connected under load. That means it doesn't have to be connected and then it pulls out again and then the third symbol means that it is a knot that is based on friction and can be used to stop in a situation for example if you want to leave something under control or if you want to get up somewhere. The third symbol means specifically that this knot reduces the load of the rope to very little. Small little holes. And that of course reduces the load of the rope. That means if a rope reaches it will probably reach the knot. And that's why there are certain knots that have been tested with such load tests that the load of the rope almost doesn't reduce. Yes, so we would have that. The first knot that I want to show you is this thing. You know that for sure if you have already knotted a rope you make a half stroke in one direction and then in the other. Great. Held. That's one knot that is called Samarita. Square knot is called square knot You shouldn't use it as a rope tie. You should only use it to tie objects. The thing has some very difficult problems. First, if there is a bit of slack on the rope these two loops slip together. That means if the rope is exposed to shock load that always slips again and again the ends slip out. The second problem is that the knot doesn't hold when the ropes have two different dimensions. No chance. When you pull the yellow rope it slips out of the blue loop. The third problem is this knot looks almost like the real square knot, but that's the so-called granny, the grandmother. That's very gross.  They make a square knot with the last loop instead of a rope tie so that you can pull it up. If you don't twist the second half of the rope then the blue ends go up and down that's wrong. This knot goes up. It looks gross and wrong but many people don't notice that. If you don't know that it can go up then you are wrong. You can look at it. Now you think so that I can't make the wrong turn I make the knot in a different way. I make a loop with one loop and loop the other loop through the loop and through the loop again. Then you get this knot. But you can make a mistake by not making the first knot. The two ends are on different sides of the knot. That's the so-called deep or thief. Apparently he has the name because he looks like this with a saw saw and if the square knot is on it then you know that someone played with the rope and did it again. If you don't look at it if it's a thief or a square knot the problem is that he doesn't hold it. You can imagine that he moves a little and rolls off the ends. It's really gross. And you can combine both mistakes. If you have the yellow loop then you have to open it and loop through with the other rope. That doesn't happen in reality. But yes, for this reason I don't recommend using these knots except to bind them together. Because it's a bad idea the probability that you make a mistake is very big and there are better knots that hold better. For example this one here. It's called Weber knot. It also has a few other names. Schiebsbend It's in English. It's very easy. You make a loop and the other rope comes through and then it bends itself. You have to be careful that the two ends are on the same side of the knot. But otherwise this knot holds wonderfully and is even a little removable. It's not as good as the square knot that you can put it on and put it on with your finger. But you can slide it like that. And if the rope is pulled together then it holds pretty well. And if there is a big difference in the ropes you can also loop around twice with the thinner rope around the thicker rope and of course also the fisher or spear stitch.  Then you see the lower left. That's the simple spear stitch. The lower right is the double one for if you want to be sure that these knots don't go up. That works even better. It has been checked on train machines with these knots on the lower right if you know how it works and if you don't want to tighten a rope by pulling it together. Then we come to a little story. Namely these knots here you want to bind two ropes and simply make a normal knot with both of them. It was known as European Death Knot. European Death Knot. Now you ask yourself what you should do if there is a double spear stitch. The double spear stitch is like a rope on these two ropes.  But that's a bit of a thing with these knots because it doesn't have the name for a long time. If you leave it for a long time then it's not a problem. The thing is that with dynamic ropes which have a stretch to catch the roots it can be that it starts to roll and rolls and rolls more and more towards the rope and if it rolls down then it's done. Exactly. An alternative would be this one. It's an eight follow through. I'll show you a knot later where I'll show you how this kind of eight works. This one is also relatively worth it. Only the people thought haha, I just modify it and make the knot with the two strings but with an eight because the eight knot is a very popular climbing knot. The people thought that the eight works the same way but the problem is that the thing rolls more and more. Then there are already some people who have come to grausomum life. The only way to prevent this is to make two knots that should hold the roll in some ways. It was also tested by some people. The other one is you make these double knots like the one from the double spiral stitch or you make a knot that is a relatively young development that was invented to solve this problem. You make one knot around the rope, two knots around the other and another knot around the rope. Pull together and that's the problem. But good. It's actually relatively specific to climbing. Exactly. Where we are already at climbing the most popular approach knot for climbing gods is this eight knot and because it is a very efficient knot and because you can also load it with a ring that means in this loop that is there you can also do something else with the knot that you used before namely the pole stick that can end very grumpy. You can see that instead of going directly through the loop with the loop that you built you go around one more time and from the other side eight knots. If you want to do it with an object where you can't hang around, you make the knot with one rope around and then go back. Exactly. But if you want to do something with two ropes on an object for example, a pole and you want it to hold the object really nicely so a string that is pulled that doesn't move too much then there is the so-called mast throw or clove hitch. Those are two loops that are turned in the other direction pushed over each other and it holds very nicely but only if you burden both strings. Otherwise you have to cut the one string at the other string with a half stroke or something like that. But I don't recommend that because for that there is another knot namely the wall. That is you only do a round around the object that's why you don't need a string because with the mast throw you have two whole loops around. The string that runs away here in my hand and then push it around like this. It then clumps nicely on the object on all the thin things like a steel rod or something like that, it doesn't hold but on trees from such a certain diameter it holds it very reliably. Exactly. If you have already made a knot somewhere you would like to tighten a string next to it you notice the pictures are taken out because of IT problems some pictures were made very late thanks Hannah. For this if you want to make this trucker's hitch also called Furman's knot or Spanner you take a string on the other side you have to imagine it and then you make a small turn put it on the string and pull a loop through it's like this when you make a knot often with one stroke but with several turns you can make other loops instead of this loop but it can be opened and that's the Swiss Youth Association style to make this knot. If you have this loop you can pass it through the rest of the string and through the loop again now you have a string so you can put a string through it and then you can hold the string on tension and if you put all the strings together then this knot doesn't move and you can cut it off with the other hand by making a four and the loose string and pull through and then the string takes over the string and then you make another loop and then you can let it go and hold it roll up the string and hang it in the loop looks nice and it's not on the way and if you can do it well with children then you pull too much until it's tight and then you can run over it as a string bridge twice and you can see that the string is still bent around so it has a grip for the feet and on top you have a string to hold it that would be with this knot what we still have is a clamp knot if you have the problem you want to have a knot on a string that you can push you want to have several positions you can do this knot basically to pull the string around pull the string through pull it through again when the string is bent in the configuration on the bottom right hold it as soon as you have the blue string on the yellow one hold it reliably but if you don't have any load on it you can push it so it's used as an independent brake so you have a brake module or another device that takes over the main brake load and this knot as a security knot because when you let it go the load goes nicely through the yellow string to the blue string the knot is tight and then you hold it that means when you let it go you don't fall on the stone floor that's pretty pleasant another knot where you just have to push through it should have the same properties but it should only be loaded in the direction down left because there are a lot of blows it goes in the other direction to the knot it's a bit faster to push it has the same load properties exactly funny thing C3Gelb tweeted this picture so hey make yourself a bottle holder then you don't always have to have the bottle in your pocket you can use it on your belt I made experience that if you try to do it with a hammer bottle you'd rather take a clamp knot instead of going around on the other side someone has shown me another knot that goes with a hammer but I would prefer to use a thinner rod than something like that then you can also carry your hammer or your beer around but props for that are recommended to use your double fisherman to make the loop if you want a clamp knot that only needs one string because the poosic and the clamp both need a string there's the so called rolling hitch it's a mast throw a thicker string but with two strikes on the load it holds enough to relax the tent with the right strings it goes on itself that means the diameter can be one to one and it still holds and then you can just move the string around this clamp knot you don't have to hit yourself with this metal plate and if you're very paranoid there's the Blake it's a very cool knot five times around to wrap the string around the string to go through the load direction and through the first two strings and then you make a little stopper knot although it's not necessary this knot holds very reliable it only needs one string it needs a bit more string but it's very reliable it also holds strings where the diameter difference is very small exactly and what I would give you now is how to roll up the string I have already seen a lot of grausams where you notice how to roll up the string if it doesn't matter it's a little twist if you do that with some climbing string it's very useful but it's very practical put it in your hand roll around then you put the string to the other end and then you have a loop then you pack it so you have both ends and the beginning of the loop in your hand and then take the loop to roll it in the first turn you should bend so that it doesn't go up then you bend the string and slide it through then you can hang it on it happy material boss if you bring it back or also happy yourself if you can carry it around without a bigger turn cool what time is it? ok cool here are my picture references and now I would like to ask you some questions if it's time later we can do some other notes but I would like to know there will be a Saal Engel it's to my right to your left there are microphones if you want to ask please give me a hand and I won't ask you any questions do you have any questions from the audience? back there I don't know the Saal Engel method that you showed is also good for storage because I would imagine that the loop just pulls through that you put through at the end and then it turns on you mean that the loop that you pulled through that it flows out again that is normally not if the rope doesn't have the radius so you want to go back in a straight shape that shouldn't be a problem otherwise you can develop these turns further up on the big loop and then the loop is more like pulling through and then you can shorten it and it doesn't flow back there hello it's been a while that I made a saw back then you said it's not suitable for climbing why not? I'll tell you if you know what you're doing it's suitable because it's used as a rope you have a rope and you want to do it without using a carabiner because you want to have it for something else that's why you don't use the 8th knot anymore because there are several configurations that are not known which one is the best for the rope and which one is the best for the rope and the problem is that when people do the rope to rope load and then hook something to the rope because they don't have any oars then you have rope load and then you open this stick and your main rope point is no longer there that's why you use the 8th knot then I see another question where do you find the workshop? that's another good question I have to explain I wrote a camp with someone from the Haber Village team and there were some trees but I have to explain more there's a wiki page I'll update it we have more questions then thank you and I want to give a big applause for this important teacher thank you


Hi everybody it's Sam at Mix Up Crowd thank you for watching my tutorial today I'm going to be showing you how to make this really pretty birthday card so I've used the Bright Rosa flower edge or flower border die I'll show you in a moment it's beautiful this is how big it is I've shared it before I think it was a couple of weeks ago now so basically you slide off the belly band and then this comes out and it's a really cool card so it stands up like this you can have it even kind of closer together I guess like that so it's got more of an M shape or you can have it quite far out so if you want to put more things on the panels but that's how it looks love this flower and these papers as well I'll talk you through all of them but the nice thing is is that when you pull it flat it folds up like a gatefold card and then on the back you've got room to write your message so you can see that's how it looks from the back so it's great if you want to put photos because you've obviously got all those panels but it's just such a nice kind of twist on the gatefold card I was inspired by one that Kathy who used to be part of the trim craft team she shared one and it was in the paper crafters Central's magazine so that one inspired me to make this one and I thought I would use this time the paper addicts because she used the secret garden so I'm using paper addicts forever and always is such a pretty paper pack I use this on my Ferris wheel that I shared a couple of weeks ago and yeah really really like this one so again I'll share all the links and this is the bright rise bright Rosa flower band sorry flower band die so that's the flower itself I'll be showing you all this in a moment when I actually come to cut it so I've done one I need to do two and I need to do the middle for that one as well so that's the dye that I'll be using okay so I've got all my mats and layers so first of all some really simple scoring I've got my sentiment ready there as well so you want to score so I've already done this so you're going to score at two and a half so sorry you need a piece of 10 by 7 inch cardstock and along the 10 inch side you're going to score it two and a half and at seven and a half and then flip it over and score it four and a half and five and a half and then leave it up in that position there okay talk through the mats and layers separately in a minute and then with this one so the two the four and a half and five and a half here you want to fold them both down so you've got mountain folds okay and then the other outer score lines you're going to fold so you've got valley folds because of the way that we score by flipping that cardstock you shouldn't have any cracking and then if you just show all of those you will now have that kind of pop-up gatefold look okay so now we need to do all the mats and layers and decorate and that's it is it is really really simple I've added the belly band and everything as an extra you don't have to do that if you don't want to so you are going to need and that depends the amount that you need depends on whether you want to do mats and layers on all of them you may just want to do pattern paper and just mat it and that's it but I've done mats and layers so for my mats I've got the gold dovecraft mirrored card and this is going to go here here and then on the backs as well okay now you want to have you may want to have the backs here white for your message I'm going to keep my messages on the middle ones on the inside there these pieces here so you'll want you know two or four it's entirely up to you but they're two and a quarter by five by no six and three quarters okay so I've got those four then I've got pattern paper to go on top of those so I've got four pieces again but you may want to and again you may want to do plain it doesn't have to be patterned it's entirely up to you but these are two by six and a half so I'm dropping down by one by a quarter of an inch increment each time okay so again two or four of those and then for the smaller inside pieces I'm only doing two of each because I'm going to keep these white so I can just write straight onto them and I might stamp on that on a later date but these ones here for the mats are one and a quarter by six and three quarters and then one and a half by six and a half okay and they're going to stick on top now because I'm also sticking on to mirrored cardstock I use red tape so I've already gone and prepared my red tape on the backs to all the ones I'm sticking onto mirrored cardstock then for the center strip for the front one I've got a mat and a layer so this is one inch so I've just dropped down so this is three quarters of an inch in width by six and three quarters and then this one's half an inch by six and a half okay and again that's going to go in the middle and then if you want to do the same again which I probably will actually because I don't know on the other one I've just forgot to cut two so you'll probably want two of each of those sizes I've given you this will all be listed in my blog so what I'm going to go ahead and do is get all of these mats and layers stuck down and then I'll go through and die cut that flower and yeah finish the card okay so there's all my mats and layers I think it looks really nice with that mirrored cardstock as a frame also remember whatever ones you put on the back actually become the front of your gatefold so that's how the card's going to be when it's opened and obviously it's going to have the belly bands you can see how everything kind of ties in together there so now I'm going to show you that flower so I haven't finished it all yet but this is what we're going to work on so I think I'm going to have that one for the middle so there's my little I already went ahead and just stamped on some black cardstock and just use some white embossing powder so that one's yeah all ready to go okay so there's quite a few different ways that you can use this die but I'm going to use it the normal I guess way so I have got the large one and then these and I've already got some gold here that I'm going to cut the first one with first of all so what we're going to do because when this cuts obviously it's called the flower band so it gives you this band here so but I don't want that you can have it as a solid piece and it's got little cut lines so I'm going to get that one I'm just probably going to have to trim that down a little bit because this does fit through a normal die machine you don't need a big A4 one but you do need to make sure your card stock doesn't go any wider than six inches well if you're using the big shot which I've got okay so that's how it looks when you first die cut it and then all you need to do is just carry on the curve of the flower and just take off these pieces here obviously if you want to keep it as a band then you will keep those on and I did use it that way when I done my pop-up card again a couple of weeks back I'll link that one in actually so then you can just see other ways to use it like so so now I've got that solid piece next I want to die cut in white and you'll get this smaller solid one okay so I'm going to die cut that first of all in white and then I'm going to die cut it again but with this inside and it will give you this beautiful detail here okay so I'm just going to pop it on high speed so you can see me to get all that done okay so just done the two flowers that one's moved and I've just done the green pieces for the middle and that was using this one here which I did say when I done my what did I get video it will also work really well as a snowflake so it's yeah we'll definitely get used again through my Christmas and winter tutorials so now I want to do the smaller flower which is this one here and it works the kind of same way so you've got this one which will cut out this thin frame and then that one will cut out the solid so I want to have this in gold this thin frame so I'm just going to trim that one down and then I want this one in white and then I'm going to do these in green and another color as well so I'm just going to get them cut okay and you can see there look how lovely that is so now when you sit that over the top you get a really pretty flower like so you can offset it as well you don't have to have them right over the top but now when that goes in the center start to get this really lovely topper look great on a present as well so I'm going to cut that again for the other flower and also cut those like smaller snowflakes as well okay so they are my flowers they look really really nice they do look even more special I think with the mirrored card there's just something about it I use it so much in my tutorials so I think I'm going to have yeah I think I'm going to have this one in the middle so you want to make sure that you have it because if you have it like that it goes over these score lines here so I have to have it like that so with the point running with this middle piece here so I'm just going to grab some of my glue and just put a strip down through the middle and stick that one down there you can have it higher up if you want I have it right in the middle so and then my little happy birthday and I'm going to just grab some foam and pop a few pieces on the back there of course you can decorate all these I do actually have some flowers that I might add in so I'm going to sit that right across the center and then I've got these here which are part of the collection but I'm not sure if I want them or not so we'll save that till later but now make sure you got a bit of wiggle room with this glue but then once it dries it dries it's so stiff it's brilliant but now you've got that pop out bit I love it I think it's so good so now I'm going to fold that down and then I've got a piece here which is one inch by 12 it was some scrap for your belly button it doesn't have to be 12 inches at all so it can be five six seven eight inches something like that as long as it comes around to about here because this will stick over it and glue everything together so I just line my card up so it's straight and then just wrap this around don't have to score it or anything just loosely wrap it you don't want to do it really tight otherwise it won't come on and off like so I'm going to put my finger there and then I know I need to add glue just in this section here and bring that over and just hold that there for a second and just slide it off now and then you can really stick it down and burnish it and then again with this one I'm going to have it that way like so so you can see how much you know your cardstock could just come around to like there because this would glue to it because it's that long so I'm going to add some glue right through the middle there and then with this one here I'm actually going to add a really nice gem in the middle I think they need something okay it just gives it a little bit of sparkle in the centers there and again that one there and now you should be able to slide it back on one's still drying a little bit but it should be no it's still drying I'm just gonna hold that there for a second cure now so I can just slide my belly band back on I haven't put my mats on the back still yeah I'll do that off camera and you'll see all that in the photos but how stunning is that that gorgeous that's such a special card really really like this and then I slide it off and then out pops another beautiful flower love it I think it's so so nice and like I said there's so many ways to decorate this you've got all those free panels there but I actually like that they're quite plain I don't think I am going to add anything to them because that middle I think having a simple background really kind of sets off that flower and then yeah I just need to decorate those panels there on the back I think it's gorgeous and I like that it all folds down into a five by seven so you could get this in an envelope but I would recommend you use one of my box envelopes and I'll link that up there for you because yeah I think with the dimension of the flower and everything else it'd be a shame to squash it so yeah they are the two cars let me just get that one out again so you can see it so that's

The dating marketplace is riddled with emotionally dysfunctional people. That's right, I said it, emotionally dysfunctional people. The reality is, is most men are significant percentage of men who are in midlife are rather dysfunctional. There I said it, dysfunctional. They're sociopaths. They might have borderline condition. They might have passive aggression. They have clinical issues and roughly 75% of singles who are over 45 years are divorced. He has to want to take care of her. Doesn't mean he has to, has to take care of her. He just has to want to take care of her. Can we be real for a moment? Is the man who's wasting your time because it feels like you've gotten used.


Hello Nexlout users! In this video I want to show you how we have improved sharing in Nexlout 14. Let me begin by looking up a document and sharing it with Leon. I will configure the share to expire and I attach a note for Leon. I will also add a comment to the file and then I share the file with the entire team. If I now go to the account of one of the team members, they can see that I commented on the file and they can reply. If I then go to the account of Leon, you see that he has notifications because his name was mentioned in one of the comments. He can see those comments and of course reply. But if he goes to the sharing section, he can also see that I added a note just for him. When you share a file via public link, you can also add such a note. This will show up in the little speed bubble in the top right of the screen. Thank you for watching this video.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. Trade what you see with Larry Pezzavento. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now Larry Pezzavento. Okay folks, we're going to take a look at a couple of markets here today. The Dow Jones, the Russell, the Nasdaq and the E-mini S&P because we're at a very critical level. I posted the chart here of the daily Dow Jones going back to a long time ago, many, many months ago. Let's try three. And you'll notice that the 78% level comes in at 33,930. And so far today, the high has been 33,927. So we know that when it pops above that, it's off to the races. But what we want to do now is take a look at a couple of the other indices because they certainly look a lot different. The first one we're going to look at here is the Russell. And we'll get this up here so you folks can take a quick look at it. And remember, this is the second most popular of all the stock indices that are traded based on open interest. So you can see we're at the 61% retracement right there, tad above it here in the Russell. And now the next one we're going to look at, of course, is the E-mini S&P. And this is the one that's really interesting, folks, because if you like numbers and we do like numbers here at TFNN, sometimes they treat as well, sometimes they don't. But if you'll notice that the high that we made last night came in exactly the ABCD pattern, as you can see, AB equals CD. It's also perfect in time. The AB leg is perfect to the CD leg in time. And it comes in at 41.97, and that was the high that it made. Let's try it again, 41.49. And then we came down and stopped exactly at the 382 at 41.29. And now it looks like we're getting ready to break out to the upside. It all depends on what happens to the Dow Jones and also the other. But the one that's lagging the market, of course, is the NASDAQ. And this is really surprising, folks, because you would think it was a leader on the way up. You'd think it would be a leader on the way back up, and it's not actually doing that. And as you can see here with the NASDAQ, that we went up to the 61% retracement one, two, three times last night. Then we sold off a lot, and all we've had so far are these little tiny 382 bounces that hasn't really done very much. So the NASDAQ is still lagging. But remember, if this catches up, and if this catches up, it's off to the races. And remember, the first Saturday in May is coming up here for the Kentucky Derby, so we'll be ready. My last winner was 1987, Ferdinand out of the... No, I had two others besides that. But I get a place horse, a show horse once in a while, but I only bet on the prices. The horses are really good prices. Then I go in and I'll take a little nipple at it, but nothing significant. Okay, now I wanted to cover a couple of things. We got this really neat chart here from Rich Anderson, and I will really get this up here and show you what's going on. I want to go over a few trades here today because part of this business, when you tell people what to do, you have periods of frustration, and I'm in one of those periods right now. Anyway, not for the losses is the fact that I have a big profit in something, and it goes right back down to where we bought it. But we'll go through that in a minute. As you can see here, on the environment of banking, we are in the same situation where we were in 2009, based on these figures that Rich sent us. Now, just looking at the bank stocks, they're telling you that something is still not right. They haven't had much of a rally at all. By the way, folks, there is a line open, if you want to call in<PHONE_NUMBER>. The first one we're going to look at is the KRE, which is the one that Jim Bartolioni gave us a few months ago back on February the 6th, when it was making this big 382 retracement here, and we had a huge drop down, and it's trying to rally, but look at these little four-day rallies, folks. Are you kidding me? We got the Dow Jones at the 78% level, the S&P at the 61% retracement. This thing can't even move. Things are not right in Camelot. That's all I can tell you. There's something wrong with those banking stocks. I mean, they're just, JP Morgan's acting pretty good today, but for heaven's sakes, that's a really, really nasty one to look at that. It might explode to the upside, but boy, it's going to have to prove to me that it's going to do that because it certainly looks like it doesn't have anybody that wants to buy it. Now, let's get back into Frustration City. Now, here is a picture of the gold. Hold on, second, folks. Something is beeping loud and clear, and it is, hold on one second. I've got to, I have to make a slight correction here because my limit, I keep limit-minders on during this year because I do have positions on, and I want to be able to see when they start to work, and we just had one working, and I want to get it up here to talk to you about what we're doing here. Okay, now by the way, oh, you're kidding me. Well, the Dow Jones just made a new high, folks, at 33,934, and the number was 33,928 before, and it made it at 33,934. The actual number, and I did it mathematically, was 33,930. So let's move on here to the next one that we want to be looking at to show you what I'm going through. Here is the gold chart. I want to give you an example of, these are things that, you know, right out of the book, right out of the trade, what you see newsletter, this is nothing new, this is technical analysis. There's your nominal cycle right here. You know, you're looking at a chart that is, you know, 60 minutes, so you see in several days in between these things. But right here yesterday, we were right at a 61% retracement of this low, and we were at a 50% retracement of this low. That makes this a 135 pattern. Lines up absolutely perfectly, and we bought it there. It's now trading. Last time I checked was at 2021, I believe, and we've moved our stop down to 2009. That will lock in a $400 profit. You know, right now it had a $1,400 profit, but we're looking for something bigger because this has the potential to be a very, very powerful cycle. But remember, this one also had potential as did this one. So the frustration is, which one is it going to be? The question is, if you can get in at the D point and get it moving your favor, then you got a chance. The problem is some people buy at D, and if it goes lower, they buy more at D. Those people are called future people working at McDonald's because that's not going to work. I've tried that, adding to losing positions, and it just flat out doesn't work. No way, no how. So anyway, this is how we're handling it. I'm going to be showing you several of them because this is what I do. When I do the videos for 24-7 is try to get in the best we can, and then when we have a profit. Now some people trade multiple contracts. So today, at one time, we were up about $1,700. We're still up $1,400. So at $1,500, that person said, hey, I'm taking some of it off the table because that's a pretty good move for one day. And in fact, it is. But not everyone has that luxury. So I have to work with both sides of the fence, as they say in The Old Pasture. Let's take a break.<PHONE_NUMBER>, Billy Ray Valentine, Capricorn.

TFNN Educating Investors At 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> Okay, folks, I have the chart up of the hourly chart of the July soybeans. The chart over here on the left is when we were discussing these dynamite triangles or flags that John Heald introduced me to many years ago. A great entry technique, I used these during the run-up, during the great bull market of the Russian grain robbery back between 1971 to 1973. And then, of course, it topped and then it came down. They work on the downside just as well, but you have to learn how to use them. The next time I do a daily trading seminar, which will be sometime, I don't know. I get requests for it all the time, but the next time I do do one, I'm going to spend some time with that because in real strong trending markets, it's really, really good.  We've got a winner and it's Michael from Niagara Falls. Michael, how are you, my friend? Hi, thanks for taking my call. I wonder, I noticed a buffettist in Tokyo and he's gobbling up all the Japanese brokerage stocks. And he obviously is a pioneer at a trendsetter. I just wondered if you could look at the Nikkei 225 and tell me whether that maybe it's got some upside or is it just hitting the 382 on the yearly or monthly? Could you look at the long term chart? Sure. I'm going to look at it. I can give you the last year, Michael. That's what I printed out here so that we can all take a look at it. And one thing I want you to remember about Mr. Warren Buffett that what he says and what he does is a lot different thing. Let me give you a story that I remember very vividly. Back in 1997, he came on CNBC and said that he owned 25% of the above ground in silver and silver rallied about $2 an ounce in three days, which was a huge amount, up to about $11. And yet when the report came out for Berkshire Hathaway in the following quarter, guess how much silver he had? Zero. And he uses those times to sell. Trust me, he and Charlie Munger are masters at it. They've been doing it for 60 years. So what they say and what they do is not always the same. Is it illegal to do that? Oh, sure. He has an opinion. No, sure. If he owns that, he can do it for the next 10 minutes. He says, oh, well, I've had enough. I'm going to sell it. Yeah, that certainly has a right to free speech. Absolutely. Other people do it too. You know, I... Isn't that called baiting? You're baiting the viewer into buying silver? No, that's called... Didn't you become the bag holder? That's called welcome to trading, Michael. That's what it's called. Welcome to trading. Trade what you see, not what you hear. That's what you've got to see. If they're in there buying, they're going to go up. If they're in there selling, not so much. So pay attention to that. This market's gone nowhere for a year, Michael. You know, the other... That's actually a good sign because the others have fallen down quite a bit. So don't pay attention to what Warren Buffett's doing because he doesn't care about Michael. I can promise you that. I think you're right. Speaking of the figure, the data figures are tomorrow.  That's beyond my pay grade, Michael. I don't think that way. I just look at the charts and try to figure out where the buy and sell should be. That's really all I'm doing. I can't do anything past that. You don't see the tape action. It's just how buoyant the Dow Jones is. You mentioned it and then the spiders and the inverted head and shoulders on the IWM. It's kind of getting suspicious here. Well, we'll have to see if the suspicion is warranted, but right now it doesn't play into my game plan at all because I have to look at what I'm seeing is happening right now and I'm not seeing what you're seeing. I'm just seeing a normal market that's going back and forth. If somebody had a really strong tip, the S&P would probably be up about 50 handles right now. And it might be by the end of the day, but right now I don't see that happening. OK. Besides Nikke, could you also give me the FXI and the Hangsang? Yes, I certainly can. My friend, if you'll bear with me here one second, I can certainly do that. I'm going to give you the first one we'll do here is the FXI. And that's the Chinese market. I chart it because we have so many friends and students over there in China and we also have Hong Kong. You see, this is in an uptrend. It's still making higher bottoms in the short term, so this is still positive. And the longer term, of course, it's lower, but this has been going up now for well over six months. So it's still going higher. Nothing wrong with that one from the long side. And the next one we want to take a look at is the Hangsang. And this one was an absolute spectacular bottom for our usual ABCD pattern. Just about in January, I believe you can see we made that beautiful pattern right down in here. And look at this big rally we've had here. So we've had a tremendous rally. And this is a rally in a bear market, you see, because this is a weekly chart and we got lower tops. So you want to be looking for a place to sell this, not buy it. So the Taiwan, do you think the Taiwan tension is causing it to be restricted in this upside move? Again, I'll refer to my favorite saying it's beyond my big rate. I don't listen to the news because I think it's all baloney, you know. Technical analysis may be baloney, but I can make a buck off that. The listening to the TV or what those people listen to. What do you think is happening here on the weekly? Well, I think it's making some type of a rally and I would be ready to short that rally if I can get a clear signal right now. I do not have that. You don't have it. I'd like to see it rally a little bit more. Then I'll have that signal. Okay. All right then. Take care. I know I'm a little vague on some of these answers, but I got to tell you the truth, partner. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Okay, Mike. Thanks for calling in. I appreciate it. Okay, folks. I think I had one other in that group that I wanted to show you. This is the near term of the Hong Kong index. I see a beautiful short term pattern that bottomed here on this daily. Just recently, we were able to have all our friends over in Hong Kong. We're very happy that beautiful bottom that we had down here. 1.618 expansion and it stopped right at 14,800 and had this monster rally.  So it's still looking good as long as we can hold these lows that we made last week. I think we'll be in pretty good shape for looking at what's happening with that. So that's pretty much it. I did want to show you, since Mike is still on the line or listening, I wanted to show you the shorter term picture of the FXI, because it shows the fact that we just made a 382 retracement here about seven or eight days ago and we backed off and we haven't bounced very much at all. So that's a market that is extremely various. As you can see on the left hand side over here, you have a perfect three drive to a top pattern. There's drive one, there's drive two, there's drive three. An absolute perfect A-B-C-D price and time coming together out of the mouth of a WDGAN. And then down we come with nothing but 382 retracements all the way down. So this one's still bearish. So we'll find out what it's going to be doing in a longer term frame. Right now it doesn't look very friendly to the Chinese market. Now that doesn't mean it can't go up. It just means that's what we're watching as we see some of these things unfolding. So I hope that helps everyone because it's not about how much money you make.

Now, you'll notice that these little dynamite triangles, the first one was down here at $13.92. We were able to buy that. The low was $13.84. We were risking $0.10. We made $0.60 on that first one, folks. Now, what happens now is we've made a 382 retracement here of that low two days ago, and then we had a $1,000 rally up to this level here. We got through all of this. I mean, we had our stop right below here. We matched it again. And here we are coming down. We've given back. We're only up about $200 out of the $1,000 that we were up. So to give back $800 like this, now, is this going to hold or not? I don't know. All I know is that I put the stop at break even because if it gets here the third time, I'm afraid of three times it. Three times is not the game I want to play. Double bottoms, I can have triple bottoms. I'll wait and buy it the next day if I have the chance. But also there's a small report coming in tomorrow on grains. It's a world grain supply report. I don't know if it's going to make a whole lot of difference, but I don't want to get involved in it if it's going to break down really hard. Folks, in 1996, on August the 16th, the day that Elvis passed away, the date that he died, he died in 75, but Mark and Paul and Douglas moved here from their beautiful penthouse condo that they had in Chicago on Lake Shore Drive.  And for the next five years, what was it, five, six? No, six years. The next six years, Mark and I worked here in the office together every day. Once in a while we would miss a Saturday or Sunday, but we always did something. He had guests come in, some very famous guests, some not so famous, but some very famous ones. And they were his clients. And they used to live in Chicago, but they flew out here to see him. There were probably 15 or 20 of them over the years. And to listen to those, what these guys went through was really amazing. During that time that we were here, Wiley, who publishes my books, John Wiley, they wanted me to do a book on what it was like trading every day. And Peggy McKay, who was one of my students, was an attorney here in town, and she says, Larry, she says, I'll help you with that book if you do the trading. And so for every day, for 22 days, I traded the things that I'm going to trade just like I'm doing today, no different, exactly the same. And she sat behind me and made notes, never said a word. She just made the notes and I went ahead and did the trading. It's called Private Thoughts of a Trader's Diary. It's one of my favorite books because it's exactly what I do to this day. Nothing any different. But as we were going through the trading period, I had started out with about four or five days in a row where I won, then I had a couple of losing days, and then I had a streak. And my streak was, I think I was into the ninth day, just really good profits. And Mark came in and I showed him the five charts that I was looking at, and I said, look at this Mark. I said, man, I said, this is going to be, oh, I don't remember the exact words. I said, this is going to be easy pickings today or something like that. And I showed him each one of them. And he was standing behind me to this day. He's standing right behind me. And he put his hand on my right shoulder right here with his left hand. And he said, Baba, he said it ends today. And I came unglued. I turned around and said, what the blankety-blank? I never use those of you that know me know that I never use profane language ever at all. Well, maybe once in a while. Anyway, I said, why in the world that wasn't the word I used? I said, why would you say something like that? He said, hey, go ahead and trade them. Do exactly what you're supposed to do. At the end of the day, I was 0 for 5. Lost all five of them. And so at the end of the day, when it was all over, I didn't say anything until then. And Peggy was back there. She was taking dictation. And she was making all kinds of notes. And I said, why did you know? He said, Larry, it was the inflection in your voice. He said, you were overconfident. He said, never are you overconfident when you're trading because you're always expecting the market to go against you. That's why you can do it so easily because you know when you're wrong, you get out. And I said, at this time, he said, it was the inflection of your voice. Like, oh, I found the Holy Grail, like Archimedes said in the bathtub. Well, that's exactly what happened. Well, I finished up the book after about a month. And we ended up with, I think we were at 16 out of the 22 trading days. We made money. We had some losses, but it goes through and shows different trades and stuff that we did during that time. This is what I do every day, folks. I haven't changed anything in the past 30 years. My big change for me was two things. Once when I went to Chicago to see that these trades were, these guys were really legitimate. They weren't trying to steal from you or anything. This was actual trading. This was before these computers and stuff. The second thing was is when I met Bryce Gilmore in 1988, and he showed me how all these swings fit together. And, you know, that's what you're looking for. You're looking for him to come together where you've got four or five things saying, ah, this is it. And when that happened, then I said, ah, that, that I know that I'm able to do it. I think I've told this story before. It was very important. I was in Chicago giving a speech at the, I don't remember which was not the money show. It was one of the commodity shows. I think it might have been CompuTrack. Yeah, it could have been. Yeah, it was Mark was there. And one of my students from Switzerland came running up to me. He says, you got to come into the room and listen to this guy from Australia talk. He said, he really knows Fibonacci. So I'd heard of him. I heard of him. I'd never read his books or anything. And so I walked into the back of the room. There were about a hundred people there. And he saw me and he, he, we'd never met, but he had seen my picture. I think he went to a lot of post office around Chicago to see my picture. But he said, oh, he says Larry Pezzavento has come into the room.  And everybody cracked up. And so I, you know, went up there and of course being is the jovial Australian that he was that we hit it off immediately. And anyway, I sat there for five minutes and after five minutes, my eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. I, that was my Eureka moment because when he had his program up called the Wave Trader, which basically is what I use with the ensign, which is the Pezzavento patterns. It shows all the swings and interrelationships of all the swings. And then when I knew when four or five of those come together, that that was your, your best time, you know, to do your training. And you can do those by hand. We see, we do these all the time when we're doing the day training thing. I do them every day during the videos. I don't explain it this way, but that's exactly what they are. There are multiple points coming together at the same time. And it tells you, yes, this is where you have to be at this moment in time. He's a longer short. That's, that's pretty much it. Now over the years, I must have had four or five of the most famous Elliott Wave people in the world. The guy from London, Terry Plummer. I had Glenn Neely, Bob Minor, one of Proctor's guys, two of Paul Tudor Jones guys. And of course, Bryce Gilmore. Bryce knew more than any of them. I'd be watching them do their analysis and they're calling these waves and threes and fives and stuff. And all I'm doing, folks, is look at the one thing that Curly's always told me, A-B equals CD. As old Mark would say, A-B equals CD. And during those six years that Mark lived here, he traded A-B CDs and bonds. That's all he did. He traded from six in the morning till nine in the morning. And then he was done and then he worked on his book. And that's what he did. And he did that until he passed away five years ago. On September the 27th, four days before his 67th birthday, I believe. Anyway, that was a very sad day in my life. He was my best friend. He was the best man at my wedding. And I spent more time with him than probably any human being ever other than the wives that I married. All seven of those. There's only been two. Hey, let's take a break.<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Okay folks, I posted the chart of the Dow Jones Industrial Average E-mini and this is a chart from Sunday. You'll notice that last week we went up to the 61% retracement of the high way back on December the 12th. And today what we did is we made the 78% retracement of the high from February the 13th. That's what that number was at 33,930. Of course that didn't work because it went to 33,934. Anyway, that's why I'm bringing this up to show you. Someone just asked a question that they would have liked to seen Bryce Gilmore trade. Bryce did not like to trade. He liked to study the markets. He was a professional salesman. He sold very expensive exotic cars, but he was a real student of the market like no one I'd ever met before. And he had some wonderful things with his Wave Trader program that showed the different swings and how they fit together. But one of the most amazing calls that I ever got from him was, I think it was 1991. They were remodeling the house up on the hill at the trading house. And I was staying with Steve Shapiro and his mother down on the beach. They lived on the bottom of the hill right on Ocean Drive there at his Mo Beach. And Bryce was staying there also. It was a very large house for three people. Anyway, he said that this was a day he wanted to be selling bonds. And so he was Australian so he couldn't have a US account. So he said, can I trade out of your account? And I said, okay. And he said, I want to sell, I don't remember the exact price. But he said, I want to sell the bonds at $101.02, five of them. And I want to put a stop at $101.03. And I said, that's not a good order. And he said, why? I said, well, if they're going to hit $02 and $103, that's one person making a bid with no offers. And I said, you're going to get there. And he said, no. He said, $109.03. He said, if it hits $109.03, I'm taking all these fricking books and I'm going off to the pier at his Mo Beach and I'm going to throw them in the water, take my first flight I can get down to LAX and I'm going back to Australia and sell cars. And I said, come on. And he said, I'm telling you, if it sees $109.03, I'm out of here. The number was $03. I keep asking Steve, he couldn't remember either. But it was one tick. Anyway, they get up to $02.02. It hit $02 probably a dozen times over the next hour or so.  And he's downstairs. He yells up at the veranda. He said, how are the bonds doing? And I said, well, I said they backed off. They got filled at $02.00. We did not hit $03.00. It's now down about 10 ticks, which was $300.00. And he had five contracts on. And he said, $1500. He said, how about booking it? And I said, are you sure? And he said, let's book it. And I said, OK. So I took off the five contracts. And he went on to play golf. Well, that night, we all went to dinner every night. We all met at either someone's house or there were always five or six of us involved. And so we go to dinner. There were about eight or nine of us at the time. People from New York were here. And we were at our favorite Texas cowboy play. Well, there's a California cowboy place, Jocos. And he never mentioned anything about the Bonds or anything, but Bonds closed two and a half points lower folks, $2,500. And the next morning, when he got up around nine or 10 o'clock, whatever it was, he looked at the price of Bonds. He says, why didn't you say something to me at dinner? I said, actually, Bryce, I didn't want to spoil dinner because we were having such a good time. And he said, yep. He said, you're probably right. He says, but well, he said I was right about the call. Wasn't it? Well, Bonds never took that high out for at least a month or two, as I recall. But I remember that very, very vividly. But so many things that I can just a wonderful time. He would spend at least two or three months with me every year from 1988 through 1994 when I moved here. I moved here in April of 1994. And then since that time, I've only seen him a few times. He's in very poor health right now. And of course, he likes the sauce, as they say in Australia, like most Australians do. So let's remind ourselves that to stay away from it. Remember the tad who just passed away at 108, the secret to his long life was he didn't smoke other than one cigar on a Saturday night. And then he also had wine occasionally. He went to church every Sunday, watched his diet and went for a small walk every day of his life. And that's pretty much the way to handle it, I guess. And always remember the other people, folks. There's other people out there that are hurting really bad. That's why I use the saying by Anthony Robbins, live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may God bless. And folks, I really believe that. Because when I wake up in the morning, here I am. I'm eight and a quarter furlongs into the race. I don't know when it's going to end. I think I'm going to make it into the ninth furlong, maybe a mile and a quarter. I don't know. And I mean, I still love doing it. My health is relatively good. I don't smoke a cigar. I take a little wine once in a while. I still go to church, but I do try to help folks that are in need. And that's something that I've always tried to do. It's not a lot, but compared to Bill Gates, it's a fortune. That's the way it looks. Anyway, we've got the markets here. Let's double check. I haven't seen what's happening recently. But, well, we're still trading at 3912 in the Dow Jones. We're probably going to take that out in a bit. And we got the S&P going up here making almost new highs. So that's probably going to make a new high. So that's going to be the end of that story. But we do that game one at a time. And that's all we can do. We've got the gold moving pretty nicely. Still trading up here at 2020. The soybeans, not sure they're going to make it or not. They're still got about four cents in them. But my gosh, it stops. Got to be at break even. There's nothing else we can do about it. The British pound has been working nicely for us. And of course, the bond trade is still, those of you that shorted the bonds the other day at 133, are still acting pretty nicely also. So that's what we're looking at here today. And that's pretty much what we're watching so far. We've got a break coming up here, but I had one other question someone wanted to answer to ask about is I posted this chart from Rich Anderson about a week ago when Rich was our guest. And it showed that the market was overbought. But again, you know, it can stay overbought for a very long time.  Now we've hit some other, his application. Please sit tight. Uh-oh, hi, Siri. Oh, I don't know what's happening here, 1042. I guess my chart, I hope it posted. I don't know whether it did or not. Okay, there it is. This is showing the overbought oversold and we're in an overbought area. But you know, this can stay overbought for a long time. Much like it did up in here. These hit spot on, but sometimes it takes more than a couple of days to get there. So that's what we're watching here. We've got about three hours to go. One, two, three. One, two, three hours to go in the market. So that'll mean that we should be done by, whoa, two hours to go till one o'clock. Why should I keep forgetting about the time frame here? We only got two hours. But it looks like we're going to be breaking out to the upside. And then what we'll do is we'll have to see what happens tomorrow as we look at some of these things unfolding here today. So we're going to take a break here, a little early on the break. So listen, if you have any questions, folks,<PHONE_NUMBER>, I'll be doing another show. Next, we're going to look at some stocks, some bank stocks, and some other stocks that are in the news. We want to look to see what patterns are happening there. But if you have any questions,<PHONE_NUMBER>, and it really helps if you call in and ask a question, folks. Because then I can at least get an idea of what the heck you guys are interested in, okay? So we'll be right back.<PHONE_NUMBER>, Billy Ray Valentine, Capricorn.

This is an hourly chart going back here the last several days. This is the same chart that Mr. Z posted in the tiger dent earlier today when it was up there at that high at 41, 49. We backed off to the 382 at 29. We've rallied up, almost made a new high, but not quite. The Dow Jones was the only one that made it. The Russell made the 618. The Nasdaq made the 618 three times. Didn't even make it the fourth time, at least so far. And then, of course, this is what the S&P is doing. So this is the key of what's probably going to be happening here because if we go popping through this next level, you'll see we could easily go all the way up to the 78% level, which is another 20 handles up in this area here. And then, of course, the Dow Jones is already at that level, at the 78% level. That's what it just hit. So it's the leader. Second place is the Nasdaq. Excuse me. Is it Dow E-mini? Third place is the Russell. And fourth place is the Nasdaq. And the way that they're retracing as we're watching these here today. And I believe the next holiday someone asked me yesterday, and I couldn't think of it offhand, but Memorial Day, I believe is our next holiday. We don't have anything for the rest of April. And here we are in June, and they don't count the first Saturday in May when the Kentucky Derby runs as a holiday. They should, but they don't. So we're doing that. Oh, also, by the way, remember, we posted this chart of the Australia index. And this one really has worked really well. I wanted to bring this up because our friend Alan Smith over in the UK was kind enough to send it to us. A perfect head and shoulder spoke, folks, exactly like Andrew Lowe depicted in his book with the mathematical formulas of the left shoulder must be lower than the right shoulder. The right shoulder lower than the left shoulder. The distance between the shoulder and the head and the head and the shoulder must be equal. And that's a perfect one. So let's take a break. We'll be right back<PHONE_NUMBER>.


The use of low-cost RGB UAV imagery has been shown to be effective in monitoring the biophysical characteristics of wheat crops. However, the nitrogen status of these crops cannot be observed using this method alone. This article was authored by Michael Sherman, Angie Giebel, Franziska Gleiniger, and others.


I've been told more than one occasion that you were the last person ordained in the West Texas Conference. As a matter of fact, it was two of us. It was my roommate, I mean, schoolmate, John Green, who now is retired out of the Southern California Conference. At the time, were you aware or anyone aware that that would be the last ordination for the West Texas Conference? Oh, yeah. It became a kind of a historical feeling kind of a meeting because they knew there would be the last one. And so there was a lot of emphasis on the expectations of the new church and that sort of thing. I think there was great anticipation of what this transition would be. There was considerable talk about how the merger of the black and white constituencies of the church would form a sort of formidable religious denominational structure, namely that the African Americans would bring to the church. It's strong emphasis on worship and preaching and somehow infuse the church with that. And the Anglo church with its educational component, organizational structure component. All this was expected to make this a very formidable denomination in the country. So to some extent we're still looking for that, but that was part of the anticipation though. So were there feelings of fear, feelings of excitement? I think there was concern about what would happen to our history, what would happen to our churches. We just fade in the background and lose our sense of who we have been, who we are, who we were, and what strengths we had, will they continue to grow and develop or would they be mitigated by the presence of a new church? So there was a fear, but also there was great anticipation on the other side. This is an opportunity that to some extent our ancestors fought for and died for, lived for. So let's live into it. Yeah, right. And let's work to make this work, because that's what we've been after all along.


You need a financial advisor with the freedom to focus on your specific needs. Whatever your goals, Reed Potter can create a game plan tailored to you. Call Reed at 432-0777 at Pikeville, Kentucky to learn more. The Appalachian Roots Garden Club will be holding a hyper tufa flowerpot making class on Tuesday, August 8th at the Pike County Extension Office. The original hyper tufa plants were actually troughs that Scotland and England and Ireland used for their animals. And they were very, very heavy because they were made totally out of cement. And then they became quite popular and quite expensive. People were trying to buy them and put them in their gardens and whatnot. This new way of making them, which was quite inexpensive and much less heavier, became popular. Hyper tufa pots are a low-cost and easy craft for plant parents looking to spruce up their at-home plant collection with a handmade and highly customizable plant accessory. Each person can do whatever they would like to do. And it's astounding how creative some people can be. You might want to do a long, thin one. You might want to do a round one, like I said before, or just a basic one. Lots of times you start with just a basic one and branch out because it is easy to do. The hyper tufa pot making class will begin at 5.30 p.m. at the Pike County Extension Office on Tuesday, August 8th. For more information, you can visit the Appalachian Roots Garden Club Facebook page. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.


Hi, my name is Iban Esparza-Sigo. I'm half Spanish half American. I'm currently living in Pamplona, Spain, which is in the north of Spain, and I'm teaching in an English Academy here in Pamplona, which is called International House of Pamplona. I've just finished the 120-hour Tefal course offered by ITTT, and I must say it has been a very interesting course in which I have had the chance to learn a lot about various teaching techniques, teaching materials to use during my lessons. The support I've received from my online tutor has been great, so thank you very much for this, and also the fact that I've been able to combine this course with my actual job as a needles teacher has been great. This has definitely been a plus. I would also like to say that I am very much looking forward to beginning my next free course, which would be the Business English Teaching course offered by you as well. I have always been very interested in teaching business English, and this year I'm actually having my very first experience in teaching a business English group, so I'm looking forward to beginning this next course. And once I finish this course, I would also like to take in the future the OTP course offered by ITTT as well. So I am very optimistic about my future as an English teacher, and once again thank you very much for offering me the possibility of taking these wonderful courses. Thank you. Bye. Bye.
