Hello and welcome to this presentation of the STM32-L4 Reset and Clock Controller. Please note that this presentation has been written for STM32-L47X48X devices. Key differences with other devices are indicated at the end of the presentation unless otherwise specified. The STM32-L4 Reset and Clock Controller manages system and peripheral clocks. STM32-L4 devices embed three internal oscillators, two oscillators for an external crystal or resonator, and three phase locked loops or PLLs. Many peripherals have their own clock, independent of the system clock. The RCC also manages the various resets present in the device. The STM32-L4 RCC provides high flexibility in the choice of clock sources, which allows the system designer to meet both power consumption and accuracy requirements. The numerous independent peripheral clocks allow a designer to adjust the system power consumption without impacting the communication baud rates, and also to keep some peripherals active in low power modes. Finally, the RCC provides safe and flexible reset management. Safe and flexible reset management without any need for external components reduces application costs. The RCC manages three types of resets, the system reset, the power reset, and the backup domain reset. The peripherals have individual reset control bits. The first type of reset is the system reset, which resets all the registers except certain registers for the reset and clock controller and power controller. It also does not reset the backup domain. The system reset sources are the external reset generated by a low level on the NRST pin, a window watchdog event, an independent watchdog event, a firewall event, a software event through the nested vectored interrupt controller, a low power mode security reset, which is generated when stop, standby, or shutdown mode is entered, but is prohibited by the option byte configuration, an option byte loader reset, and a brownout reset. The reset source flag can be found in the RCC control and status register. Here is the simplified block diagram of the system reset. All internal reset sources provide a reset signal on the NRST pin, which can be used to reset other components of the application board. In addition, no external reset circuitry is needed due to the internal glitch filter and the safe power monitoring feature, which guarantees the reset of the application when VDD is below the selected threshold. The internal pull-up on the NRST pin, which maintains a high level when no reset signal is driven low, is deactivated when an internal reset is driven in order to reduce power consumption under reset. Additionally, all IO pins are placed in analog mode during and after reset to eliminate power consumption through the Schmidt trigger when the IOs are floating under reset and before software initialization. The second type of reset is the power reset. The brownout reset, or BOR, resets all registers except those in the backup domain powered by VBAT, which contains the RTC and the external low speed oscillator. When exiting standby mode, all registers powered by the regulator are reset. When exiting shutdown mode, a brownout reset is generated. The third type of reset is the backup domain reset, which resets the RTC registers, the backup registers, and the RCC backup domain control register. This reset occurs when the BDRST bit is set in the RCC backup domain control register. It also occurs when VDD and VBAT are powered on if both supplies have previously been powered off. The RCC offers a large choice of clock sources, which can be selected depending on low power, accuracy, and performance requirements. STM32L4 devices embed three internal clock sources. A high speed internal 16 MHz RC oscillator, or HSI16, a multi-speed internal RC oscillator, or MSI, and a low speed internal 32 kHz RC oscillator, or LSI. STM32L4 devices embed two oscillators for use with an external crystal or resonator, a high speed external 4 to 48 MHz oscillator, or HSE with a clock security system, and a low speed external 32.768 kHz oscillator, or LSE, also with a clock security system. STM32L4 devices embed three phase locked loops, each with three independent outputs for clocking different peripherals at different frequencies. The system clock can be derived from the high speed internal 16 MHz RC oscillator, or HSI16, the multi-speed internal RC oscillator, or MSI, or the high speed external 4 to 48 MHz oscillator, or HSE. The AHB clock, called HCLK, is derived by dividing the system clock by a programmable prescaler. The APB clocks, called PCLK1 and PCLK2, are generated by dividing the AHB clock by programmable prescalers. The RTC and LCD clock is generated by the low speed external 32.768 kHz oscillator, or LSE, the low speed internal 32 kHz RC oscillator, or LSI, or the HSE divided by 32. The LSE can remain enabled in all low power modes and in VBAT mode. The LSI can remain enabled in all modes except shutdown and VBAT modes. The multi-speed internal oscillator, or MSI, is a configurable oscillator, offering a compromise between ultra-low power and performance. The MSI, which is the system clock used at startup from reset, standby, or shutdown modes, is programmable. It supports 12 ranges from 10 kHz to 48 MHz, selected through the MSI range control bits. The MSI RGSEL bit must be set in order to select the frequency provided by MSI range. The MSI frequency after wake-up from standby mode is configurable between 1, 2, 4, or 8 MHz, through the MSIS range control bits. The frequency after reset or at wake-up from shutdown mode is 4 MHz. The MSI can be selected as a wake-up clock from stop 0, stop 1, or stop 2 modes, and as the backup clock if an HSE failure is detected by the clock's security system. The MSI has 2 modes, normal mode and PLL mode. PLL mode offers an automatic calibration feature with the low-speed external oscillator at 32.768 kHz. The accuracy of PLL mode allows the MSI to be used as a USB full-speed clock in device mode and to be used as a UART peripheral's clocks. The MSI in normal mode is trimmed during production testing and can also be user-trimmed. The high-speed internal oscillator is a 16 MHz RC oscillator, which provides 1% accuracy and fast wake-up times. The HSI-16 is trimmed during production testing and can also be user-trimmed. The HSI-16 can be selected as clock at wake-up from stop 0, stop 1, or stop 2 modes, and as the backup clock if an HSE failure is detected by the clock's security system. The HSI-16 can be automatically awakened when exiting stop mode in order to make it available for peripherals when it is not used as the system clock. This avoids waiting for the HSI-16 to wake up when the system clock is the MSI. The HSI-16 is requested by the I2C and the USART-LPUART peripherals to support wake-up from stop 0, stop 1, or stop 2 modes. HSI-16 is enabled only for the wake-up sequence detection and remains disabled outside of this wake-up sequence. This table compares the HSI-16 and MSI characteristics. The HSI-16 accuracy is better than that of the MSI when not used in PLL mode. In PLL mode, the average MSI accuracy is the LSE accuracy, 32.768 kHz external crystal, resonator, or clock. The MSI power consumption is much lower for the same frequency than the HSI-16 and is only 600 nanoamps at 100 kHz. The HSI-16 offers the fastest wake-up time, only one microsecond. The maximum time needed for the MSI to be stabilized at 1% of final frequency in PLL mode is 1.5 milliseconds. The high-speed external oscillator provides a safe crystal system clock. The HSE supports a 4 to 48 MHz external crystal or ceramic resonator and also an external source in bypass mode. A clock security system allows an automatic detection of HSE failure. In this case, a non-maskable interrupt is generated and a break input can be sent to timers in order to put critical applications such as motor control in a safe state. When an HSE failure is detected, the system clock is automatically switched to an internal oscillator, the HSI-16 or the MSI, so the application software does not stop in case of crystal failure. STM32L4 devices embed an ultra-low power 32 kHz RC oscillator which is available in all modes except shutdown and VBAT. The LSI can be used to clock the RTC, the LCD, the low-power timers and the independent watchdog. The accuracy of the LSI is plus or minus 1.5% over temperature and plus 0.1 minus 0.2% over voltage. The LSI consumption is typically 110 nanoamps. The 32.768 kHz low-speed external oscillator can be used with external quartz or resonator or with an external clock source in bypass mode. The oscillator driving capability is programmable. Four modes are available from ultra-low power mode with a consumption of only 250 nanoamps to high driving mode. The clock security system monitors for failure of the LSI oscillator. In case of failure, the application can switch the RTC clock to the LSI. The CSS is functional in all modes except shutdown and VBAT. It is also functional under reset. The LSI can be used to clock the RTC, the LCD, the use-arts or low-power UART peripherals and the low-power timers. STM32L4 devices embed three phase-locked loops, each with three independent outputs. The input clock of the PLL can be selected between HSI16, MSI and HSE. The main PLL can provide the system clock. Then the different PLL outputs can be used for the two serial audio interfaces, ADC interface, USB, random number generator and SDMMC peripherals. Here is a configuration example where the first PLL is configured to generate the 80 MHz system clock. The second PLL, PLLSAI1, is used to provide the 11.29 MHz audio clock used to generate a sample frequency sub-multiple of 44.1 kHz and to provide the 48 MHz USB clock. The third PLL, PLLSAI2, is used to provide the 49.14 MHz audio clock used to generate a sample frequency sub-multiple of 192 kHz. The system clock is selected between the HSI16, HSE, MSI and PLL output. The maximum system clock frequency is 80 MHz. The APB1 and APB2 bus frequencies are also up to 80 MHz. The maximum clock source frequency depends on the voltage scaling and power mode. The system clock is limited to 80 MHz in range 1, 26 MHz in range 2 and 2 MHz in low-power run, low-power sleep modes. The clock tree is shown here. The AHB clock is generated from the system clock divided by the AHB prescalar from 1 to 512. The AHB clock feeds the CPU, DMA, memories and AHB peripherals. The two APB clocks are derived from the AHB clock divided by the APB1 prescalar and the APB2 prescalar each from 1 to 16. Several peripherals have their own clock independent from the system clock. This is the case for the USARTs, low-power UART, I2Cs, low-power timers, single-wire protocol master interface, ADC interface, serial audio interfaces, USB, random number generator and SDMMC interface. All of these clocks can be selected from the internal or external oscillators. The various clocks can be output on an I.O. The microcontroller clock output feature allows you to output on a pin of one of these seven clocks. GSI 16, HSE, MSI, LSI, LSE, SYSCLK and PLLCLK. The low-speed clock output feature allows you to output on a pin the LSI or LSE clock. The low-speed clock output is available in stop 0, stop 1, stop 2, standby and shutdown modes. The dynamic power consumption can be optimized by using peripheral clock gating. Each peripheral clock can be gated on or off in run and low-power run modes, except SRAM 1 and SRAM 2, which are always clocked in run and low-power run modes. By default, the peripheral's clock is disabled, except the flash clock, which is enabled by default. When a peripheral's clock is disabled, the peripheral's registers cannot be read or written. Other registers allow for configuring the peripheral's clock during the sleep and low-power sleep modes. This also affects stop 0, stop 1 and stop 2 modes for peripherals with an independent clock active in stop modes. These control bits have no effect if the corresponding peripheral clock enable is cleared. By default, the SRAM 1 and SRAM 2 clocks are enabled in sleep and low-power sleep modes. If they are not needed, the SRAM clock enable bit should be disabled to reduce power consumption. This slide lists the RCC interrupts. The LSE and HSE clock security systems, the PLL ready and all five oscillator ready signals can generate and interrupt. In addition to this training, you may find the power control and interrupt controller training is useful. For more details, please refer to application note AN2867, an oscillator design guide for STM8S, STM8A and STM32 microcontrollers, and application note AN4736, which explains how to calibrate STM32L4 internal RC oscillators. This slide presents the key differences between baseline STM32L47X48X devices and other devices. The features listed below are not implemented in STM32L47X48X devices. A new HSI48 internal oscillator is now available, allowing a crystal-less solution when coupled with the new clock recovery system or CRS. The HSI48 clock can be output on the MCO pin. On the audio side, the HSI16 is now a possible input to SAI peripherals, and the PLLP division factor has been extended to the range 2 through 31 in order to allow more flexibility on the SAI input clock frequency.


current patrons. The current patrons of political parties analyzed by various philosophers and specifically specific work on the political parties and their organizations and activity in the modern state. That is basically discussion on the explain and explaining the current patrons in the existing political parties. Like here we are going to highlight some criteria and on the basis of the two specific criteria highlighted by the political sociologists like that the constituent units of parties that there are simple units of political parties are political party to which our units are the units kasey tarteepaateen ke jo bakada torpaar ek political party jab apna manchur likti hai toh kuch components ko tahereer melati hai ki us political party ke basic components kaun kaun se hoonge. Then form of membership of parties fir ek proper form jo hai wo tashkeel diya jata hai jiske andar wo log jo party membership ko join karna chate hain wo us form ko phil karte hain. Kuch logon ka khyaal hain ke ye doh cheezen enough nahin hain. Belki iss ke saath kuch aur additional cheezen bhi uni chahin hain. Jise ye kaha jata hai ke kuch jo political parties hain. Unke andar kuch aise sub units hone chahin hain. Jo important role play karein political party ke andar hone wali kar debate ko aur wo chote-chote units ke andar logon ki political training jo hain wo important hai. Aur phir uske saath kuch branches hone chahin hain. Branches are the other type of constituent units in current patterns of political parties. Branches are more centralized, which keeps and expending its basis of membership and are more democratic in their nature than caucus. Ab branches ka basic purpose kya hain? Kya political party ki branches hone chahin hain? Aisa nahin hain. Political parties ka structure kyaise design hoega? Hum basically in trends par baat karein hain. U structure ki andar kuch chote units aur phir un units kaya combination, yani agar misaal lele jaaye ke geographically, ek to political party hain wo center ka uski mechanism hain. Phir subon ke andar hain, phir divisions ke andar hain, phir zilon ke andar hain. Ab har level par wo political party jo hain wo operate kise karein hain? Kya usne proper apna ek structure design kya hoega hain? U structure ki andar logon ko kise shamil karna hain? Party ohode kise distribute honge? Kya logon ki involvement se honge? Ya leader nominate kareega? Phir then definitely there are various cells in every political party and that is the third major constituent of the current patterns of political parties because which are primarily organized as a means of overthrowing the established government order. Ab yir wo cells hote hain, basically cells kise kaam karte hain? Ani har political party apni strategy par implementation ke liye in cells ke through har vakat operative rahte hain? Agar current government ki economic policies hain? Un me kaha kaha failure hain? Agar current government ki education policy hain? Health policy hain? Budget aane wala hain? Koi kisi khas issu par policy statement hain? Ye cells har vakat operative rahte hain? Or evaluate karte rahte hain? Jo existing government hote hain? Ya jo baaki political parties hote hain unki performance ko? Aur asal mein yehi cells hote hain? Jo kisi bhi siyasi Jamaat ki kar kar digi? Ko behtar bhi banaate hain aur agar yeh cells operative nahi honge? To definitely party up to the mark nahi hongi? Agar uske hain research wing nahi hoga? Agar uske hain communication wing nahi hoga? Agar women wing, labor wing nahi honge? To fir us political party ki jo performance hain? Wo maazi mein to shahid acceptable thi, leke modern jo political parties hain? Unko jis level ki information, jis level ki training chahiye fir wo available nahi hote hain? Then another important thing is that there are some Kader parties. Kader parties, junke wo parties samke jaati hain? Jinki membership bohot limited hote hain? Aur bohot closed hote hain? Aur sref jo loyal log hote hain? Unko di jaati hain? Ab Kader parties ka jis system tha hi religious political parties ne bhi introduce kar baya? Hamare hain bhi, ek bohot bari? Maise bhi Jamaat hain? Jiske andar Shamuliyat ka bakaida ek mechanism hain? Wo shuru se leke aaj tak usi patron ko follow krte hain? Isi tari ke se poori duniya ki andar? Ham dekhte hain ke jo communist parties hain? Unke hain bhi ek system hain? Wo sakrutni se guzar kar hi? Wo us political party ke koi important posts tak aasakte hain? Fir ek hain jo maize political parties hain? Maize political parties ko hansi uti hain? Jiske andar amtawar par koi bhi far jo hain? Wo form fill karne ke baad? Parti ka member ban sakta hain? Maize kath ye bhi huta hain? Ke sab log member bhi nahi hote? Wo sref supporters hote hain? Toh aise parties jo hain? Ye maize political parties gahlati hain? Fihar ham ye bhi dek sakte hain? Ke jo modern jo political parties hain? Inke upar jo amtawar par criticism hote hain? Wo kis wajah se hote hain? Ke political party ka jo buniadi kaam hain? Jo job hain political party ki? Wo kya hain? Ke har wo local issue, har wo national issue, jo mulko dar pesh hain? Jo logon ko dar pesh hain? Wo sre baare mein? Logon ki socialization kare? Logon ke saath proper communication kare? Ta ke logon ke andar sense of awareness kriyet ho? Kyunke jitani sense of awareness hogi, uttana zyada hi, log jo hain wo actively, politikali participate kareinge, mukhtali political activities pe jo mulk ke level par bhi ho sakte hain? Aur khud wo sreasi jamaat ke liye bhi fahida manh ho sakte hain? Lekin jo om current patterns of modern political parties ko re-evaluate karein? To jo ek bada drawback nazarata hain wo hi hai ki siyasi jamaatin logon ko apne specific perspective ke liye to train karna chahti hain? Wo logon ko apne khas ideological affiliations ke context me to awareness de na chahti hain? Usse nukhsaan kya ho rahe? Ke jo modern political parties hain? They are creating political polarization throughout the world. Duniya mein hum dekhte hain ke aaj kal kya ho rahe hain? Ke haar siyasi jamaat apne khas nukta nazar ko promote kareke moshreun ke andar division kriate karein? Hala ke ye siyasi jamaat ka task nahin utta? Siyasi jamaat logon ko civic sense deti hain? Logon ko shawur deti hain? Na ke logon ko divide karne ka kaam kare? To yaha political parties ke liye that is quite important ke wo apne aap ko bhi evaluate karein? Aur apne task jo hain? Aur jo duties hain? Wo proper logon ko assign karein? Aur leadership ka role usse zyada ahem ho jaata hain? Ke moshre ki tamir, riasat ki tamir mein? Siyasi jamaat ka masbath kildar boh zyada zaruri hain? Aur wohi rahe na chahti hain?


Free software empowers people to control technology and it's important that not a few people control technology but that we can distribute this knowledge and this power in whole society and that we also then have some kind of checks and balances or distribution of power with technology. We advocate about free software so we explain to people how free software contributes to other freedoms in our society. We encourage people to use and develop free software. We abolish special legal barriers to free software adoption and we provide resources for other individuals, organizations who want to promote free software so that they can do this effectively. I would encourage people who also feel strong about free software that they join us that work together with us to reach those goals and that we can empower people to control technology that we democratize the software.


Ableton on Air is sponsored in part by Green Mountain Support Services, empowering neighbors with disabilities to be at home in the community. Additional support for Ableton on Air is sponsored in part by Washington County Mental Health Services where hope and support come together. There's some testimony and I'm going to give this over to Julie Tesler who is one of the partners in making this all happen and you all know her so Julie. I work at Vermont Care Partners and one of the things that we felt was important today was to recognize people working in your communities, working as advocates, doing what you can to reduce stigma and so past years we've only really recognized legislative leaders for and more as well as the team too and this year we've said no people in the communities who do the work they are the grassroots work that's really critical too and so we recognize Julie Cunningham earlier, we have three other people we like to recognize for their work. And just to repeat what the criteria was, outstanding commitment to service to advocate on behalf of individuals with mental health and developmental disabilities, demonstrate passion and commitment to support individuals, advocate on state policy and funding to advance and improve community based system of care, active in community and local and state groups that work on these issues, supporting individuals to promote recovery and integration into community life, educating the community about these needs and certain services and the people we serve and using effective advocacy strategies to overcome challenges and barriers to individuals in the community. So all levels of work. So I would like to introduce her, would you like to okay Jenna? Jenna made one of the nominations and she's going to introduce the person and Kristi Everett too. Like many good health care team, health care providers we come in teams so there are two of us here. Kristi Everett and myself, Jenna Trombly work with the Clara Martin Center and it is an honor and a privilege for us today to shine the spotlight on Marla Simpson and have a chance to share with you a bit about Marla's contributions as an advocate. So I will just mention to work next to Marla as a professional side by side and both of us spent some time working at Second Spring in Williamstown. That was a good number of years ago but it gave me an opportunity to really understand who she was as a professional contributing back to the field and it was an honor to have that experience with you as well. I'll just want folks to know that Marla has dedicated her life to raising the bar on rights, on needs, on services, on policy language, on everything related to advocacy for mental health services she's had many impacts to us as an organization and perhaps to many of you and you may not have known that so we're going to share a little bit about that so you know a little more about her today. So Marla has been a strong public advocate in the support of mental health services in Orange County also the state of Vermont at large. She is a member of our board advisory committee and our local standing committee. She was nominated by the governor to be on the committee for the Vermont governor's council on pathways for poverty. She also serves in the Vermont adult program standing committee on mental health. I don't know where you find the time because that's a lot of committees and to get here today pretty amazing. Marla all of these committees provide feedback to the department to help ensure that the best possible care is being provided to the designated mental health agencies across the state. It's a tireless effort it's dedication and we recognize and appreciate that. Christie's going to share a bit more about some of your additional contributions as well the center and state of why I say there's two of us because she does so much that we needed to sort of talk about it in addition to all the work that she's done with communities Marla's changed our organization and changed our community. She has uh she comes with a master's degree to the work she does as well too so she has actually been uh beneficial and really influential in training some of our staff on how to we how do we work with mental health issues providing some training to staff on suicide awareness mindfulness pain management all those other areas too and it brings a different focus to what we have staff to do and where they learn from it's just that voice. She has spent time writing letters to local newspapers really to address the stigma in the communities to different avenues there and she works at pathways Vermont in their worm line as well too so I can only imagine that through that work she's also saved lives and the work she's done too um so we can't say enough about her and we are lucky to have her in our community I think Vermont is lucky to have her. Yes okay all right now the run at stand-up comedy at the at the Chandler theater in Randolph, Vermont at the Monty's intelligent this is my character Beatrice she's very funny very very funny we can I had three cups of coffee today I got two because a very coy knit dream from my mother in heaven awoke me I could not think what I was going to say today this is a serious matter as well um but but through the grace of God there go I am a native born and raised um we are in a global village uh in this brave little state of Vermont I embrace diversity I welcome diversity um as the John Ware play says we are all connected by six degrees of separation from the very very top to the very very bottom I myself have been to all levels and um like to stay more in the middle of the herd with a little bit more serenity and no sanity is not overrated um I am also psychic I have been since I was a child um I have I've learned a really big lesson in the last two weeks ask for help strength and independence and self-awareness and self-confidence are absolutely wonderful earn that own it but know when to ask for help I am independent but I am very very interdependent I have to honor the Department of Mental Health the wonderful spectacular loyal Clara Martin Center amazing pathways Vermont my team members on the pathways Vermont support line the state standing committee the local player mart standing committee all of the DA's throughout the entire state I've had the pleasure of knowing many commissioners uh formerly served on the governor's council I write but believe me if you want to get a message across go to the source consider the source I have called the White House when I was involuntarily locked up in a psych ward I called Bernie Sanders office they listened they helped Bernie for president 2020 Bernie's office listened when seemingly nobody else cared that I was in despair I was coercively forcibly treated now honestly I take psych meds twice a day I take a ton of vitamins um less than two weeks ago I almost had a complete nervous breakdown I was physically sick I was emotionally strong out it was like a bipolar meltdown and um but long story short um when I was first diagnosed with a serious condition let's let's eradicate mental illness let's not say mental illness anymore okay let's say we have conditions we are sensitive people we are gifted people a lot of us are empaths we feel we feel deeply we feel sorrow we feel pain pain is inevitable suffering is optional the Dalai Lama said that there is an I in illness I can't manage everything on my own there is a we in wellness we working together within the system with each other we can agree to disagree it makes the world go round but kindness and compassion and communication are free I have many advocates and friends and professionals and family and friends and heaven many many earth angels if you are here you are amazing you brave the storm uh everything from top to bottom is going on politically we are here if you have breath to breathe and eyes to see with some glasses um hands uh use use all of your powers I can't emphasize enough writing advocating doing working working working working it's very hard work but I love the work I I I wouldn't be rather be any other place in the world right now except maybe the red carpet in Hollywood thank you thank you thank you the next awardee is Melaka Huffer who is such an active person that she is not even in the country she but we would like to have George Caracacus and Kate oh we have a speech from her okay well George and Kate are going to introduce her and then we'll have a speech read but we'd also like why was she nominated so come on up and hopefully it'll bring her the award too okay we have a speech oh I'd love to hear it so um I don't know where to begin I don't have I don't have a prepared speech I have a lot of thoughts Melaka is our uh at HCRS some of you at healthcare and rehabilitation services in Wynnum and Windsor counties she's the manager of our peer support programs but she well first of all before I do this I just want to say I was so impressed with the passion and the dedication and the compassion and the heart and the vision of all the speakers it's just so it's absolutely remarkable and I really want to appreciate and that is what makes Vermont this state really incredible so I wanted I just wanted to say that but I also want to say that Melaka is really a part of that and I'm really honored and proud to be able to to be here and that Melaka was awarded that in the company of so many other amazing people and she has been active on the the statewide adult state standing committee for many years she's worked very closely with Vermont psychiatric survivors in really sending that message and ensuring that the voice of the people we serve is there and it's heard and she is so passionate about that she has brought that passion and that vision to our agency she she's the co-chair of our ethics committee clinical standards committee she's involved in our adult leadership she has provided training to our community around intentional peer support across the board her mad studies curriculum have really pushed the envelope and I have to say personally in my role I seek her counsel out and I I say Melaka what do you think in developing our philosophy of care one of the things that I know she really pushed was stigma and discrimination and oppression exist and we as a community need to do something about it as an organization as an agency and that is part of our philosophy of care and she brings that she brought that and continues to bring that and to bring that passion and that vision there and we are I just have to say that it's just it's been it's a great honor I know Melaka I do want to add that I don't is would have been here I probably should have said this to begin with but she is on her way to Kenya so clearly her advocacy has no bounds so she is she is really she's been she has really moved us to the place where our services in our system is a really different system and because of that vision and because of that passion and I know she couldn't do it without an amazing team Kate Lamphere nominated her and Kate there you are adult division director and we have members of her team if you could just raise so really after it means it's not just our team it's the community and really spreading the word whether it's with emergency services whether it's our with our local hospitals whether it's with the rest of our community through the hive and so many other things that she's been doing so and actually I'm really curious I there is a speech no there are none oh you want to say if you were okay I want to say a few words please do so he's going to be so in any event I just really want to on behalf of Malika Malika it's it's really an honor and I know um you're not a real texture let her know she knows she knows it's a long commute so yeah but anyway so thank you active and not always in this building when we want them so we have one more community advocate award uh was nominated by Kurt Postalway from Washington County mental health Sarah Holland is not here but Kurt will say a few words about her and share her award with her well unfortunately best laid plans sometimes don't exactly unfold but we're going to surprise Sarah with this award so she was in the room and she has proceeded to sneak out so we'll we'll be sure to give this to her later but I'll just quickly say a few things um although of course we're just words and the work she does um is beyond that but Sarah Holland is an amazing advocate she came into her role as an advocate over 20 years ago through advocating in her own life through her own experience of mental illness and now 20 years later what she does is share that experience to inspire others to reduce stigma and to build awareness about the challenges that people face with mental illness and more importantly how people thrive even when they have these challenges she demonstrates a passion for supporting the community-based work through serving on Washington County mental health's board of directors and she's our incoming president which we're very pleased about because again she's just such a strong advocate and a committed community member she's spoken publicly many times about her own experiences through local RAP recovery groups with our community-supported program and more recently at our 50th anniversary where she shared her personal recovery story which is very personal and very meaningful to her and yet she recognized that opening up about that was the key to helping other people feel that they can do the same so that we no longer have to keep these types of experiences in the shadows and let them impact our lives in negative ways she also was on the vpr podcast that many of you may have heard about which is called The Air Us she was the lead story so if you're interested in learning more about her really powerful experience of recovery you can find it there she also has been on local access tv vote for vermont again speaking to the community health system washington county mental health services and how instrumental washington county mental health was to supporting her to get to where she is today so she's really a perfect example of someone who thrives in recovery which i think is so important for us to embrace right despite her struggles that you know she has experienced and continues to experience she does not let that define her she's now not only a strong advocate for herself but her friends she's advocated for a friend who's a wonderful artist to get her work out into community galleries show her amazing creativity and therefore aid in her own experience of recovery recovery and you know now sarah is a successful business owner she owns rivers bend designed which is a wonderful landscape company she's a proud grandmother and she's a wonderful so sarah wherever you are congratulations award to senate president pro tem tim ash unfortunately he had a meeting in burlington but we'll be back at 115 he says 15 of us can come to his office so i'll just go to the front hall the middle there at 10 after one and anyone who wants to come let's crowd in and let him know how much we appreciate his support because already he brought together a meeting of leaders in the legislature both house and senate to talk about the need to shift resources to invest in community mental health we really have no stronger leader and he deserves our appreciation also some of you don't get to always talk to these folks here's a chance you can tell him what to think he will he is listening and i do hope that at lunchtime and throughout the day and when you leave the building you'll continue your conversations with legislators if you don't if you feel like you're inspired now and you want to do it but you didn't make an appointment just go to the sergeant arms office in the front hall on the left and ask them to locate a legislator for you with a note saying you want to meet with them at lunchtime meet in the cafeteria and then they have to fight to get the investment we need and the support we need for our services so each one of you being here today has made a big difference senator kitchell when she looked around and saw all of you she really did take note um february 25th there will be public hearings around the state budget another opportunity to talk with legislators and let them know what you think but you can call them at home you can email them there's all sorts of ways and if you want support to do that you can talk to me or talk to the executive directors that are here or nami vermont or vamhar and we can help you with your advocacy efforts and there's certainly lots of expertise here so we wanted to take the rest of our time and it's not as much as we had thought for folks to share their stories we know we have someone over here and nick from nami vermont is going to leave this part of the program programs are free come check us out as a matter of fact this saturday we have a mental health and recovery workshop scheduled in st johnsbury a couple weeks we have one in manchester and a few weeks we have one in burlington so to sign up go to nami vermont uh nami vt dot org um we're lucky in vermont we're connected in so many ways whether it be on social media or schools uh bumping into our neighbors at the general store or uh sharing a pint of ben and jerry's with a close love for yourself another way that we're connected is we're all here for mental health advocacy in a robust mental health system uh one of the best ways to advocate and share your passion is to tell your stories and so let's move on to into that can we hear um welcome with or jody garard how long i can be i'll be able to try to be sure um e commings said a quote that i kept since high school that said to be nobody but yourself in a world that is doing its best night and day to make you everyone else means to fight the hardest battle that any human being can fight and never stop fighting and so when i think about myself and i strive to be myself i think i'm a mother of three i'm a wife who next week will celebrate 30 years of marriage i of mental illness um i have been hospitalized over 40 times in my life i have been in dozens of programs day hospitals and i've sat doped up drooling in a lot of facilities um my writing has lifted me and being to be able to be myself and say yes this is who i am i um have induced trauma voices that i hear every day that command me to kill myself every day but i decide i am a writer i'm a mother i'm a poet i am a person trying to be myself trying to be nobody but me and so i had just a couple poems i wanted to leave with you the first one is called the light oh there you are light such a bright friend in the morning of night's end i lift my head to my great fate of warmth a date i've missed before because of sadness i smile into the shine such a design to overcome depression i am alive surviving in the fail of my need to keep going on i take it in feed on today for i am high flying with the golden wealth of health i retain that i contain for sensation i write it down forget times i frown dip down into despair it is enough to dare to be here in this life this morning so dear to be a wife a mother a writer a constant fighter soaring on the current currents of this sunshine a lifeline through an illness shaded for others the sorrow invaded in the spectrum my flow from high to low i know it is a disease partly my genes these high and low scenes but today today is wonder filled senses rolled away from past as i cast eyes to the sky my thoughts happy warm wondrous without the storm of recalled lows i know the holes i fall into pattern shaped draped about me in darkness i hold tight to the illusion of this good day the light protection a connection to my passion to lift others a gift of words to the world i have been formed made displayed this way so i write with the rays in days that overcome the gray beyond the way my life sometimes is curled beneath sheets defeated with tears fears thoughts of death and too many breasts but oh not now now when the bright whiteness happiness away from the mess holds my heart that wants to share with others this start i wrap myself in the brilliance of this journey meet in the sensations the elations despite the misery i escape into the embrace of a pen as i face forward in this morning sun the flowering peach leaf the dark soil feeding the water quenching and i could be okay to be okay i don't have to hurt over the years that the bush didn't grow didn't make a statement for the yard i cut and prune careful in my design in with the breath i cast off the unwanted like the trauma littering the ground with it molding my perfection i stand back to admire and realize there will always be more to take away but perhaps i can let it go back to the wild living creating its own way to be happy in the wonder of itself i close my scissors let them rust let the beauty be in its living i sit with sunglasses on protecting my view as i watch the natural order take care of my yard and it's okay first i'd ask for your indulgence i'm uh dealing with side effects from a medication tapering process so if i'm not completely coherent that's my excuse um thank you i'm my name is dan toll and my recovery story i want to offer my perspective on peer survivor support services just a level set i characterize peer support as people with mental health illnesses who are in recovery connecting with like individuals together they mutually share and assist each other with their wellness so what follows is first my story a case study for peer support and examples of what i think are ways to enhance the mental health care system in vermont through peer or some survivor support i was diagnosed over 20 years ago with a mood disorder i managed to raise two wonderful children and maintain a career in corporate america for three decades uh with a wife uh at home for most of that time three years ago i left Connecticut in corporate america moved to vermont during my connecticut years my treatment was the traditional western model medical model psychiatric meds from a psychiatrist talk therapy from a therapist however despite having my symptoms being controlled the majority of the time through this traditional model to mental health care i they still negatively impacted me in many ways my physical health my jobs my financial security and ultimately my 35-year marriage with the love of my life moving to vermont then changed my life here i was introduced to a broad spectrum of healthy alternatives to the medical model including mindfulness yoga herbalism and most importantly peer slash survivor support after moving to vermont i attended a peer support group and soon had an epiphany number one i'm not alone number two there are others suffering and enjoying the benefits of our individual mental health conditions they can help me and i can help them within a year i joined the ranks of mental health volunteers and professionals with lived experience becoming a peer supporter including i helped launch them facilitate a nanny vermont peer support group second thursday of the month four o'clock cdmc the board room i have business cards up there with the info so please come and join me secondly i uh like my very esteemed colleague who deserves everybody accolades she received marla i am a member of the adult standing committee i just i would argue and i'm very biased but uh in some ways better service can be delivered at a lower cost than the traditional mental health model as a nanny facilitator i volunteer my services um on the adult standing committee volunteer services so in summary in my peer support services roles i have learned that this mental health care model has not only been among amongst the most effective tools for me but i believe for many of the people that i've uh worked with and dealt with in my role as a peer supporter so again information on adult standing committee and the semper vermont uh she prepares on the desk thank you very much is shannon fox but first we'll hear from carolyn brosetti and i have lived with mental illness all my life um i was diagnosed and discovered while in school um and i've always been connected with the community which has helped tremendously i've had good days and bad days which most people do and when i have bad days i just backed off and i learned how to work with my mental illness and it hasn't been a curse it's been a blessing i've had opportunities that i never would have had if i hadn't had a mental illness i learned to do public speaking at conferences i never would have had that opportunity i had opportunities to help other people like myself which has been a blessing the trust that peers have between other peers and they will talk openly with each other in ways that they don't with other people because we experience the same thing um i have also always been connected with the community in that even though i may have been hearing and seeing things i would be active like in the red cross i joined the american red cross i work on the disaster team i respond to disasters i work with shelters up here voices and have seen things and people who had come in to the shelters who have been stressed out because of moving your homes and wanting to take care of their fats and whatnot and trying to help them to meet their needs at that particular time i've also had an opportunity to join the behavior mental health team for washington county which was really great i worked at um i also had opportunities to work uh i also had opportunities to learn how to come to the state health and talk to our legislature and to talk to other people to make them aware of what mental illness is that i could be a leader i never thought i could lead in anything i had a hard time in school i couldn't write that's why i don't have notes and um my spelling nobody could read it i could always communicate well verbally uh i was told i wasn't going to graduate from high school well i did um i mean i wasn't supposed to accomplish my design i mean i was going to be a probably a housewife or take care of a house or something but i wasn't going to do like mental health and recovery workshop um help to sort of take that um to peer support and i've also learned how to do rabies which which is an alternative care that some people are trying and some people have good success with that and i hope that it'll become a part of a tool that people can use i have tried different ways of keeping myself well and healthy i've done all kinds of things yoga meditation walking exercising and i'm even learning how to take care of dogs and cats and cleaning cages and being a person from very similar we don't have much contact with horses and i had just recently had my first contact with horses and i walked around the ring and if you can see me being afraid of the horse and the horse knows it you know and so i was like the horse is going to do what the horse does and i'm leaving my prop around the ring and i come back okay i did that one and i said phew it looks like they're over there now i can i know i can want the horse and so that's part of the recovery process and having relapsed this part of my life i have a month about every year to take me to recover and get back with all my feet i've had meds that didn't work and i had to learn how to advocate to get the right medicine because they want to stay with the same old thing so that's pretty much the story i have to tell and if anybody wants to talk about mental illness or have any questions feel free to ask me because i'm very open we're going to recognize one of the recipients of the award earlier so can we hear from sarah holman our nominee sarah we found her sarah would you please come on up here so you all yeah so you all already heard my true story about how great this one is so here she is we found her sarah basically i just told everybody you're wonderful how much you've shown us through your life and your experience to get to the place you are now you're going to be our board president of washington federal health you run your own business you're your grandmother you have friends that you support so she rocks so without further ado i would like to present this member health advocate award to sarah holman in the presence of many advocates this has been such a wonderful morning and i'm just humbled by this my goodness part of my recovery so it's like 20 i don't know what you told about me but like 24 years of hospitalizations and medication changes and uncertainty but relationships with my peers with people in the community mental health system uh with people in the inpatient hospital system uh with people having nothing to do with mental health but um that's what's been my recovery and um you can say i'm giving back um through my position on the board of washington county mental health services um both on i'm i'm getting and so uh this uh lifelong endeavor and um i'm uh trying to incorporate my recovery into my uh what i do every day my day job um and so my connection with employees my connection with vendors being honest not keeping secrets being um saying what happens to me and uh my struggles every day and uh just being um matter of fact about and so um anyway this is awesome first let's hear from shannon fox i'm from windsor county this is literally my first day advocating for mental health so i apologize for any missteps go big go home i guess um i know that we spoke a lot about stigma today and i feel the need to address my own identity to reduce internalized stigma i am a flat lander and i'm happy to say that i'm on the path to better living in the green mountain state um from mess uses um so i wanted to speak today to highlight the challenges of access to preventative services i've struggled with mental illness beginning my youth and throughout my adult life in january of last year after three months of partial hospitalization program for which i'm very grateful for and quitting a well-paying government job in colorado with full benefits because of its toxic environment and hostility sports mental illness i moved back to new england where the welcome my support system lives while unemployed in massachusetts i was either bigger to work i'm an arts administrator and advocate and working in the arts is a core part of my identity i also knew that work would provide structure and stability to my day day life and would aid in my recovery in march of last year i moved to white river junction to work at northern stage which is an amazing arts organization i'm proud to work for um overwhelmed by the process of transferring all my services to a new state i fell into a familiar hole for those in recovery relapse um i stopped my medications i lost interest in finding a new therapist and i became and i began posting by summer i was unstable again taking more risk falling behind in my work and having suicidal ideation in june i went to my local emergency room because i felt unsafe i talked through my safety plan was referred to my county's designated agency made a commitment to set up all my services and to get back on the tractor recovery and so i was discharged that night though i struggle with mental illness i take responsibility of my engagement in my own recovery i was committed to get on the right path i set up services with my designated agency got primary care physician white river junction got referral for psychiatric services at my closest hospital and began therapy again i felt energized excited hopeful and i was being a good doobie um my primary care my pcp was doing a great job they kept a close eye on me and we started some of my basic medications but they would be the first to tell you that they are not psychiatrists and not qualified to provide thorough assessment for their diagnosis and medication treatment i'm i did not qualify for psychiatric services for my designated agency so i waited on the list at my local hospital days turned into weeks weeks turned into months my therapist who recognized me as safe and stable and relatively stable began recommending that i just go inpatient to get access to psychiatric services i knew that the that going inpatient would impact my finances and maybe taking away resources for my peers who are in crisis by december i called my local hospital again to ask where i might be able to reserve uh receive access to psychiatric services they said i was on the list my heart left this was it the last piece the puzzle was finally falling into place then they finished their sentence you're on the list of people to call and inform that we will not be providing psychiatric services to the patient volume i began crying i was so frustrated i started calling every psychiatrist in the area and these were the answers i got we do not take vermont medicare or mvp we do not take insurance you need to pay hundreds of dollars up front and then try and get reimbursed through your insurance you cannot receive uh services at a different county's designated agency than the designated agency for your county we do not take referrals from outside our hospital network you need to move all of your health care services to our hospital network mind you these hospitals were 45 minutes to an hour away um i've spent the last month desperately seeking services all while struggling to shower to eat properly and not hurt myself last week i had an appointment with my pcp who had really developed a great relationship with they said that they would call the local hospital one more time but then i was going to have to change my care network to either springfield or central vermont in hopes of maybe getting a referral and starting all over again i was dismayed at the prospect of leaving a health care provider that i felt comfortable with and trusted this past monday while struggling through another day and avoiding my personal and work responsibilities i got a call from my local hospital to schedule an appointment with their psychiatric team i cried again my pcp had worked magic in that final phone call to the hospital i'm so lucky that had great support from my therapist and pcp who got me through the past seven months i am lucky that i have friends and family support and accept me i'm lucky that my employer was a comedy i'm lucky that i even have a job i'm lucky that i have the coping skills to advocate for myself i'm lucky that i had a car to get to my designated agency to get to my primary care to get or if i had to change my network to 45 minutes an hour away i'm lucky that i'm college educated i am lucky i'm privileged but this is not a success story this is a highlight of the gaps in services for remarkers oh while waiting for services i had to call crisis hotlines schedule emergency appointments with my primary care take time off work turn unhealthy risk and strive to survive through the endless cycles of negative self-talk depression and a desire to end my life i'm lucky that i didn't seek inpatient stabilization and put a strain on our already overworked crisis system i do not pretend to be the picture of recovery and i don't want you to think that i'm not deeply grateful for my designated agency and for my support network there are people here today who are better qualified to speak about statistics and policy changes i'm only qualified to tell my own story but if i have the capacity to tell my own story to articulate the challenges that we with mental illnesses face i feel i have the responsibility to tell my story for you all to realize how difficult it is for my peers who cannot be here today to tell their challenges my peers who normally face mental illness but are also faced with serious physical illnesses developmental or intellectual challenges my peers who don't do not have the economic educational or social status or skills to navigate a complex and frustrating system my peers who also face abledon on air is sponsored in part by green mountain support services empowering neighbors with disabilities to be at home in the community additional support for abledon on air is sponsored in part by washington county mental health services where hope and support come together


The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Basil Chapman. Call now. Call free at 1-877-927-6648. I'm Basil Chapman here. Of course, my show is the one that follows Tommy Jr. There's market kickoff. Great show.  Discussing a lot of things, just discussing Microsoft and all, then I had a very good discussion with Kevin Hings from Thinkorswim. We try to offer as much information as we can here. TFNN education is what it's all about. And we're looking at the Dow down 151 at $13,900. Excuse me. There's a lot to discuss. Let me have a little tea here for the throat. There you are. That's better. Okay. A lot to discuss. Let's go through this. So what we were looking at yesterday is there was a chance due to the oversold condition of that 1,000-point drop on Friday that at least some kind of a reversal could take place. It wasn't good enough that there should be a reversal that needed to be a really good candle formed, certainly in the Dow. So what I showed to subscribers on my opening call is that there's a pattern that I talk about. It's called the Roman candle. Basically what it is, is that it's usually a price formation that occurs at a top. Remember, I've been talking about this in relation to the S&P. I may as well just talk candle to candle. So on the upside, when there is a really... Oh, I didn't mean to do that. Whatever that was. Let's just do this again. There's BX, done X. There we go. Thank you. So we're looking at this candle right here at highs, especially in a monthly chart. When I see a high with a candle that is going to highs and then opens with a tiny little wick and then a long body down and then a close a half to two-thirds above the low. Then what I say is, uh-oh, be a little careful because that could signal, as it did in 2007 in the S&P, that could signal that if there is a close halfway in a shorter time frame of the lower wick, you've got to be really careful because it pertains to the weakness of that turnaround from the low, in this case, from the 14-period moving average of the black line to the upside, not showing the strength that it should. And then what happens is, you've got to monitor that. And I always say within two bars, maybe three, but it's really... It's actually within this particular pattern. It's the very next bar. If there is a move down, you've got to be careful. Well, we had a second one, not quite exactly the same, but pretty close. But on the downside, when you get a green Chapman Wave Roman candle, that looks very much like we did it ago, like this, that is the candle that we saw back on the 24th of January, long-legged, and then it had a very choppy couple of days. Remember, there was something that was talked about, the fair and all that, and we went chop, chop, chop, and then eventually we went to peak A, peak B, and instead of going to a D, which would have completed the by-mode obligation, it went to a C at 35, 8, 24, and then plunged to the downside. Wait, it did exactly that same candle on the 24th of February, a month later, at 32,272. And that went to peak A, peak B, and then a really choppy... In fact, even after that peak, which was great the next day, it went choppy, choppy, choppy, and it had a sharp pullback, how it held nicely above the 32,272 level, and then what happened? It ran all the way up to a peak D at 35,372, dropped quite sharply, made the cup formation, held the Chapman Wave, this is the falling axe formation support level, ran to a higher high, that was the day that I was away Thursday. Yeah, so last Thursday, it went to 35,492 at a peak E, and then plunged, and of course Friday was even worse, 900 point close to the downside was actually 1,000 points, or more than 1,000 points. And then yesterday we had that turnaround. Well, what happened? We produced exactly the same candle. Now, you can't see it too well here, but I wanted to show you what I see to subscribers, and then I outline every single day what needs to be done in the Dow, where the close should be and what it pertains to, in particular to the patterns that we're looking at. All right, so now let's see what this looks like in real time. We're going to go to, I may as well just go here, this is a chart I showed a moment ago, and we went to this candle right here, I'll expand it so that you can see it nicely. Oops, wrong one, right here. So that's the candle from yesterday. This is the candle currently as we've seen it. This is the candle from the 24th of Feb. There it is, and this is the same candle, same formation back on the 24th of January. So this is really an important moment, because what we're looking at is, within the context of the patterns, there has to be a close above the high of yesterday, certainly above the close of yesterday, which was at 34,049, but I always say it has to be the high of the candle, the wick itself, and that's at 34,106. That's going to be really tough to do, but this is what I'm looking at. So we did go long, that long as so far held yesterday, we actually were long, we took profits, took profits shorter term, just in different parts of the same position. We got out a little bit, and then yesterday we got out with a very nice gain, and we went back in early yesterday morning. Does that get stopped out today? I don't know. But this is what we're looking at, because Microsoft is a really important part of the Dow, and Microsoft comes out with earnings today, and it's had the 270 round number low on the 8th of March, and that pertained to an H pattern that failed after being repelled at the Chapman Wave falling axi-resistance level, and then at a trough D it ran all the way to a peak A, peak B, peak C, peak D. What is the obligation of the Chapman Wave methodology is to try to find the lowest low bar, get a signal that says you've got a buy signal, it gets upgraded to a buy mode, the implication is it should have these four higher peaks. I alphabetize them A, B, C, D. It can get all the way to E, F, and G. There's never an H, but at D other things can happen. That's when you could start to get what I call a recycle of the waveform. You could go E slash A, F slash B, G slash C, and then finally you get your D. What was the chart? I think I wrote it down. Oh, I hope so. It was just a perfect example. I haven't got it in front of me. So a buy signal gets upgraded to a buy mode at a certain point, maybe after a leg B, and that says there is a target of D. That's the reason why in the S&P having made a peak B, all the others have got to do notations in the Chapman Wave that says their monthly charts could have a pretty decent pullback, but the S&P says you might have to pull back, but you should still go to a new higher high leg C and then a leg D. So I'm through about Microsoft because 2270 was the round number low on the 8th. Yesterday's number was 277 at a trough E, and we went to a peak D at the top in an arch formation. Really important. I'll talk about the patterns as soon as I get back. Are you looking for a way to consistently add winning trades to your portfolio? Tom O'Brien is here to help.

This is not great action at all. And the QQQ's, look at this, NDX100. Trading vehicle down 8 at 321.37. You can see the 317.45, look how many arches we've seen in the Chapmane methodology, these dreaded h's coming back now in a leg D to the downside. It's a really important question came in. I'll do this right now about DDD. We were talking about it yesterday. I said, yeah, you can think about it as just a real near term, a long position, but make this stock. 35 cents, a real tight stop. Well, today made a lower low. 13.01 in the dreaded h failure pattern. Not good 3D systems. DDD trading at 13.01 down 74 cents. Just got to be real careful. So what I say to the subscribers is we're treating this just as small, these are near term positions, but we do have a couple of stocks that I love in the sense that they are kind of under the radar right now. In fact, both are, let's see how they both, they're both up just a moment I can't see right now, but they were both up a moment ago in this market. That's not a bad sign. And we've just been very, the highest cash position I think we've ever been in. Well, certainly for a long, long time. I don't see any reason to rush into anything. The reason why I'm mentioning Microsoft is look, Microsoft, if it fails from here, then that H pattern becomes an A minus in the weekly chart from the peak E all time high 349.67 at a peak D in the monthly chart and very ugly red candle in April underneath for four months, the 14-period moving average has been taken up, but we've closed well above it. In fact, above the green nine-period exponential moving average. This is the first time we're not even close. We're in a leg eight to the downside still, and we've gone from the 349 level to the 274. I mean, 30%, this is Microsoft. And I, all I'm saying is that I'm being very careful because if I start to see the big cap form of really great leaders, especially in the Dow, TAC area, I've got to consider that's going to be a big negative on the market. So we've raised cash looking at other areas that might be potential shorts, and I'll get to that in a moment. But let me just say that this is a good reason why I've been very careful. Facebook, going to the Chapmeet, InsightTrack Pro Pellet Zone in the monthly chart of the being a 383 in September is trading now at 181. I mean, 200 points lower? No, no, no, no. This has made a peak E in the dating chart, beautiful arch formation, dreaded H, and look at this failure pattern. Peak E in the weekly chart. Look at Google. Google I think comes out with earnings. Is that also today? I think so. Google, it made a peak D. How many peak Ds have we seen here in the dating chart in the arch formation and failing? You just have to respect that this market is so vulnerable that how the selectivity unfolds is going to be very important. Can we rotate? And I'll talk about that as I get through because I've got the questions that pertain to that right now. This is a perfect rogue wave. I think, yes, I did. I put this in for anybody who ever remind me. If ever I'm talking about a chamois rogue wave, let me find an example. That rogue wave, the week of the 4th of February to 3,042.00, round number all time high. Let me just double check. I mean, 3,042.00, round number. So if a week before, you were shortly thought, this is fine. The technicals, the weekly technicals are just horrible. It looks terrible. That big spike on the week of the 4th of February, perfect rogue wave. What does a rogue wave mean? It means that you were correct in looking at the short side because everything pertain to going lower with lower highs and lower lows. And then out of the blue, like a rogue wave, if you've ever looked at Google and just Google rogue waves, these are things that just, they just suddenly occur. And very often at that moment, there's very little, maybe there's a tsunami, somewhere it creates a tsunami. But at that moment, it occurs through a very complex geophysical, we don't have to get into it. Just to say, there's a big spike. And in the stock market, what happens is, the price goes above the previous high, long enough for all those people that were long and got out to say, oh no, what did I do? I'm going back. At least I'm going back in for a little bit. And the shorts say, holy moly. I knew I should have wanted that. Google, who goes to short alphabet? When they changed the name to alphabet, that was a big mistake. Who shorts Google? And they cover. And then the same bar just flips over and closes and within two bars is back to where you were. Just the previous, in this case, previous bar, the previous week, and it continues down. That's a rogue wave. Out of the blue, and it fools both the bulls and the bears. And then it continues on its merry way to the downside. And look what happened. So what we're looking at now in a monthly bar, look at this candle. This is just saying that Google has a serious problem. And the serious problem is that if it doesn't hold, whoops, if it doesn't hold, well there's nothing on the left side until you get to 2230.05. That was the low of the week of the 14th of May. So something here, yesterday's candle was good. Today, instead of pulling back, it was just a minor pullback. Instead of opening at 2455 and then plunging to the 2300s, it opened at 2455-ish, held just for a brief moment. And today, at this particular time right now, 1028, 1025 in the morning, the eastern time, it was trading very close to the high yesterday, which was 2455. Whoops, it opened at 24, no, it couldn't be. The high was 2465. So it needs to be, this is now going to be really difficult. However, this is what I want to talk about. And we're going to go to it in a moment. I just wanted to quickly say the IWM Russell 2000, I had a good candle yesterday. It's making the dreaded H pattern. 8792 is absolutely key to hold this week, regardless. Then the next thing we're looking at here is, I'm not sure if I did this during the, just the update. I'll do it now. The gold is up six at 1901. As I said, my target is somewhere around the 1865, every 66 area with the 200 period moving averages. And then we'll decide because I think gold in play looking out over the many weeks to come. But getting in for the next balance is going to be important. I'll do Bitcoin quickly because I forgot to do it yesterday. Going nowhere, it's down 640 at 39,570. Just stuck in range, made a peak D in the rectangle formation. It's stuck in the kind of, just under the midpoint. I just see it as stuck. Silver is trading at, there we go. Silver's broken the left side low. I said, just be careful with silver. And yep, it said 2358. You're looking at crude. Oh, let's go to the dollar. Is the dollar holding the gains? Oh, that's the other thing I want to do. Dollar is at 101.95. Target is 102.99, the January high. This is really outstanding action. There's a lot to talk about and I've written it down. So let me go. We've got a break coming up. And then I'm going through all the questions. Down 326 and the Dow down 65 in the S&P. The gold market has taken off topside the large way.

I just wanted to double-check to see if I made, if we got... There we go. What is today? Tuesday? Got it. Yes. Okay. So, just on a purely technical basis, we're now out of the diamonds, a long position. It was just a trade made money, but it was way, way better yesterday, obviously. I still think that the day is young. I think that if you look at the VIX index, pix.x, up quite sharply, there's a chance, you see, there is so much selling, there's so much negativity right now, that in a sense it's creating some kind of a cushion, not in the weak sectors, but in the sectors that are trying to hold. And that's really what I'm monitoring, and that's going to be really important. So, let's go to the questions that I had. So, I'll go step by step. I missed Kevin, you want to... Oh, Procter & Gamble. So, Procter & Gamble is up 10 cents today, 162.67. Now, this is part of the whole sequence of looking at the XLP, which is the defensive area, that's the staples area, and the staples area is made at a high of 81.34, drop sharply yesterday, intraday into the 78s, and now it's trading at 79.43. Now, the reason what I said to my subscribers is, let's monitor to see what's happening in the staples area. So, Procter & Gamble. So, the question is really basically, can Procter & Gamble, is this a place to get into Procter & Gamble? And what I'm going to say is, these double tops, I have a tremendous... I always find that the... I'll almost... I wouldn't say everyone, but almost all of the technical aspects that I've developed over the years, certainly I call them propriety in the sense that I developed them myself, and if they're public because I discussed them, that's fine because it was still, in a sense, propriety to me. And what I'd noticed over the last, maybe a year and a half, I've been doing about the incredible action in the market. It doesn't matter what position, what securities you're looking at. The going from a top, perhaps an all-time high, down sharply, this goes from 165 Procter & Gamble PG, is a symbol of household products, goes to the 144s, and then scrooms back up. And where does it go to? It goes to within 40 cents of the previous all-time high. 16535, it goes to 164.90. Look at Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson broke above the 179.88. It's in a lag D right now. It's had these four patterns that I've tried to discuss as a vertical assessment. And right now what we're looking at, it's made a new all-time high, but the technicals are getting... They're good, but they're getting a little weaker than they were each time. It's gotten a little bit weaker. So, so far that's good. Let's look at... I want you to do them in sequence. So the question came in, what about Clorox? I did this yesterday, and I said it's holding well. I'd perhaps just start a little position there, I said, but basically, the way it's acting right now, I'd also want to... I'd probably want to wait a little bit, so today's down three and a half, at 148.78. I think it's acting okay, but I spoke about that big gap. So Clorox is in the... I don't know if it's in the... I should have gone through it. I didn't have a chance to, but it's like an XLP and like a Staples. So it's pulling back. If you go on and we go to... Let me go on to... Look, Pepsicola, PEP, PEP. Holding. It went to 177.24. These double tops are just uncanny and most of the time, you get a pretty decent pullback from them. So back on the 21st of January of this year, PEP, PEP Cyco, Sodus, Naxis, et cetera. Goes to 177.24. Drops sharply to the 153 area. And then what does it do? In weeks it has almost a single leg up, and it goes to Easter. 177.24. So actually it's not even an E, it's still a question about, so this is, if it was one penny higher, then I could call it E. Right now, I'm calling it a gray A, gray A because it hasn't broken to a new high, and it hasn't taken, it didn't take out the low that was made back in October, so it's much higher than that. So this is either a continuation pattern in a V-shape formula that we're looking at, left side, right side price time match, and look at that. So it's holding well. If you look at, so yes, you're double top. If you look at Coca-Cola, no, it did something a little different. It broke out like Johnson & Johnson. It went to a new high, so that's important. Coca-Cola trading down 13 cents today after making your time high at about 67 something yesterday. So what I am doing here is I'm trying to say I'm watching this XLP very closely because if there's going to be some kind of a market rally, and we'll know, I mean, as it stands right now, it'll be just a wonderful surprise for Microsoft to really screen to the upside. It'll be unbelievable if Google comes out with something that says, oh, we're going to be buying back 5 trillion worth of stock, and we've come out with a new system of telephonics communication. You won't need Verizon or anything else. You can just go straight to us and it will be the new community. I don't know what they can do, but the price as it stands right now on Google, down 64, says this is very ugly in the monthly chart. If you look at Apple coming up with earnings soon, Apple's holding much better than the others. I think they have their commitment to monthly payments for all their products. That kind of generation of income has worked for them beautifully. People have Apple stick with Apple. That's the way it looks like. So we're looking at Apple coming to a trough D above the 200-period moving average. It's Amazon that I'm watching closely with Google. Amazon's the one that I said. I think it's going to be retesting that left side low of 2675. I'm just guessing now I think it was right there. So the answer is to those of you, a number of people asked me about the staple sector. Yes, it is a sector that's in play. Yes, it's worked up until now, but is this inflationary aspect going to impact stocks like a Procter and Gamble, stocks like, say, let's go to Johnson and Johnson or Clorox, because people are going to, but will they use less or will it just be a slow degrading of purchases? So the low of 2671 in Amazon, something has to be spectacular to really work because if you're looking at the RTH, which is the retail with 20% Amazon, it's holding really well. If you look at the XRT with an equal weight, so Amazon is just equal weighted. That doesn't look as good. And yet the retail sector is holding fairly well, but on its way down, the tide in the weekly chart is a cell mode, maybe a cell signal at the end of the month, by Friday in the monthly chart, and that would impact Amazon. So I'm covering that and I'm going to say for Procter and Gamble, I would say, I would have a little, I think it is acting very, very well and it has made it, I'll do it in the moment, we're going to get back. I'll be back in a moment. Are you in the market for buying or selling real estate in the Bay Area, including the surrounding St. Petersburg, Tampa and Clearwater markets?

And I'm sorry, Eddie, I didn't see your question until a bunch of questions I didn't see until after the show. Is the low in the S&P something that you can consider Velo? In other words, could there now be a really strong balance? He said, I believe some people were thinking that this could be a low between Monday and Tuesday of great significance. And my answer, I would have said to him yesterday, he said, no, the reason why we've got so much cash for my subscribers to my opening call is because it's, this is when you look at all the different sectors and you look at all the different stocks and I don't look at all, but I look at enough. The reason why, even in a deer, which is another question I'll deal with at the same time as he's talking about the general market, a deer did this left side, right side, vertical assessment where at the higher 437.98 in March pulls back and then goes to 446.76. We were along, we took profits a little bit off and then got stopped out for a profit there as well. And I said, no, we're not going to hang around here in cases drops. So for deer, which under these conditions should be ready. I mean, if you're looking at wheat, if you're looking at all the grains, I think there's going to be product shortages because they're not getting to market. And the ones that are getting to market are getting sold so quickly, you can't replace them that quickly. This is what I'm thinking. So deer is in the farmer, in the tractor and farm, farm equipment area and caterpillar is in the utilitarian area for the infrastructure. And that made a peak deer 237.90 and pulled back sharply. So I'm very, very cautious here. At the same time, yes, we're lacking in short positions. The focus has been on what's working on the bigger positions for subscribers who know that keeping your cash, I believe in keeping your capital as sacred as possible. You can always make up even an eight to 12% loss. You can make that up if you've got good techniques and you've got good skills. But when it gets to 22% or 28% or 60% as we've seen in some of these stocks, I'm not interested in that. I'd rather miss an opportunity than see that cash, the cash security that we've built up disappear. I'm just not prepared to do that. So that's that. So when I'm talking about going to maybe a nibble on proxy and gamma and all that, all I'm saying is that if this sector, if the staples sector starts to decline, you had better find another area that's going to be a successful, at least trading vehicle. I think we might have at least two of our stocks might be in that area. We still have the DBA, which is the DBA Agricultural Fund. Talk about double tops. Just look at that. I don't want to run out of time. So talk about double tops. Look at this. From the high that I thought would be appropriate as a target to the upside, June of 2016 of the DBA Agricultural Fund at 23.01, plunges down to 13.25. We got along almost right away, 13.77 being long. Take a little bit off of it. We've got our big core position and what did it do? It hit this week it hit a high of 22.88. I would say looking at four years, five, six years, that's pretty damn good, right? And it did that with the left side. The bar that I chose, the special way of choosing the bar, there's definitely no fulcrum to the downside, a pivot point or plumb line. I use some other methodologies and where I go from the left side. And this has achieved it. Not all time high. This is already looking at March of 2012. This is what, 10 years ago, hit 35.58. So I'm considering that the grains are in play, but short of term, there could be some vulnerability. But yes, it's holding really well. It's only done two cents a day at 22.13. So I don't want to skip. So the answer is no. Absolutely no, Eddie. This is for us to get to talk about an idea of this in my webinar that said, what are the possibilities of an all-time high in 2022 in the S&P to start a New Leg C? I discuss that as a what-if situation. What are we looking at? What would it take to get there? And that's still in play. And I'm not going to be fooled at all in the shorter term by trying to have the overall outlook as going to higher highs, covering, having a patina to spoil my trading in the shorter term. So here we go. The TLT, really important mention in the den, yes. The TLT had won 22.94. I have to consider this so far. It's transitory. The move on the upside with yields coming down to what we've been discussing. Look, he has the TBT. What did I say? We're looking at the pattern of the ABBV. Just as an example, a template where it went above the up channel sharply. This is ABB, Abbott-Labs, Spinoff, Farmer, but just a chart and got nothing to do with what the tradeable is that we're looking at. Just the price goes above and then pulls back into the rectangle. If it takes out the base of that, it can come back down and then tries to at least have one touch of the previous trend line support. And that would say that by, give it a time limit, by the second week of May, there should be at least an attempt to get towards the 163, 165 area. It's at 158. So now let's do the same thing with the TBT, which is the inverse. And this is the ultra-short Lehman 20-year treasury bond ETF. It's gone to a doji high at 26.25 on April the 19th, pulls back, makes a little H pattern, fails, and now it's under the 14-period moving average. It's about to test the support that was the ones resistance and now becomes support in the Chapman Wave inside track up channel of the bigger of the large up channel. And if that breaks, then you can see in this case, I'm using something a little different. I'm going to use a new trend line from this low back in 1st of March or so as a key trend line support. And that says watch out because 22.50 is going to be the key support for the TBT. And that's the way we're looking at it. So yes, this is a really necessary bounce. And my thinking was as these pull back and as the commodities as crude oil pulls back, so we would see some kind of rotation out of maybe the staples. We don't know yet the staples into and then we'll see what sectors it is. Does Microsoft give us a clue? Does Google give us a clue at the end of the day today? This is such an important moment. I'd rather be chasing a move to the upside than getting in early and just seeing a collapse overnight. Today's a really important session, actually all week. So that's I covered that question, got that question, that question. So any of the answer is no. I think we're still in this big consolidation phase. Oops. Wait a minute. Is that me? Let me just check. Let me just take that. All right, gonna break coming up. I'm not sure what I'm doing. Sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument.

I always say that the number of bars on the left to the upside or the number of bars on the left to the downside can be matched to the right without a crash. Look, this is what's happened here. Does this start to tank right at 42.17 in the 10-minute e-mini bar and then it comes to the same number of bars going to the low that was made yesterday at 12 o'clock at 41.95.23. Talking about that, so just let me do this real quickly here. I'm not talking about the semiconductors as a question came in. Why aren't you looking at NVIDIA? I've been on a major cell mode for the semis since almost the May there top. I don't want to discuss it until they can show real strength. That's something completely different. Look at this. This is the USDJPY. Look at this monthly chart. Look at these. Look, it's down today, down at 127.18. But look, I talked about those double tops. Well, how about this? Oh, that's a monthly chart. That's okay. Let's go to this monthly chart right here. Look at this. It went the Dollar Japanese Yen. Look at this beautiful left side, right side, price, time as to where I chose to make the midpoint and it's gone there right to the month and it's gone to a high, high in leg E. Look at the Dollar, DXY, Basil's Dollar because we still owe the Dollar. 103.82 was the high of January 2017. 102.99 was the high that double top at March of 2020. And here we are in a shorter time span trying to make this move towards that level. So all these, there are so many signs here that we've got to watch the next couple of weeks, a week or two. End of April candle and then the beginning of a May candle to see exactly what's happening. Look at the USDJPY, how it's pulled back. This is the Dollar. Oh, I just did that. Look at the EUR, USD. Look at this. EUR, USD. Look at this. I spoke about it a long time ago. I said the price. Don't think that you always have to crash to the downside. Sometimes it's the same number of bars and the acceleration to the downside is just adding the number of bars. 1.0664 was the low that I discussed in the EURUSD currency pair at March of 2020. Where are we now? 1.6.06478. We're almost there. Isn't that amazing? And I love your job.
