In this session, we are going to talk about internet communication because some of the principles from what we discussed in terms of technical communication is slightly different. So I am going to talk about internet communication but it is important to know that I am still talking about emails which are exchanged in a technical context. I still am not talking about business letters or emails or invoices or exploratory emails. I am not talking about them. I still am talking about technical mails and in what context you will write and how they should be written and what are the general rules and things like that. Now there is huge amount of type of internet communication that happens. Many of you might be very active in social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, that is one and many of you might go look up information like Wikipedia, things like that and some of you might be writing blogs or might be reading blogs and then you write emails. In the order of importance, I think email is something that everybody does and probably then there is social networking but very few people use it for technical context. So I have put it at the bottom even though I think it will be a very nice exercise for those of you who are doing a PhD or who have done a PhD or who have written a paper to see if within 140 letters you can communicate what is it that you have done. There was recently some in Twitter there was a competition, 140 letters you have to tell a short story and somebody got a prize. So you can think of it. I mean this is probably the biggest challenge that you can take for yourself. You have a thesis typically running into hundreds of pages in one tweet. Can I say what the thesis is about? That is the essence of communication and of course people cheat even when I tweet if it is more than that I slice it and post it as the answer to the same tweet and things like that. Maybe five tweets it takes to say something which is one piece of information but blogs in Wikipedia are very commonly used and very widely used for communication and in fact I had written a paper with one of my co-authors whom I never met. I met him two years after the paper got published. All the interaction happened through Vicky. So he used to write, I used to correct, I used to give questions, he used to answer and there are Vicky pages which will allow this latex type of marking because our work is very equation heavy. So we even did everything, editing the equations, the questions, my advisor was also involved. So two, three of us in different cities. My advisor was in Bangalore, the student was in Madras, I was in Chicago and we wrote this paper together, we published it, after a couple of years of publication I met the author. So today it is possible for you to interact with collaborators who could be in any corner. I have collaborators with whom I am writing papers but they are sitting in Taiwan and US and Europe. And it is also more common these days, for example there is a national resource center for materials in IASC Bangalore and they have collaborators from all over this country, wherever metallurgy material science is being taught, those professors can come, interact with them, their students can come, do experiments, go back and then they will collaborate over long distance. So in this day and age then this kind of communication mediums are used very extensively and it should be used, otherwise what is the purpose? So after all all the internet came up, you know why, anybody know why internet came up? Which technical information? Physics. Physics, which physics? Physics. Physics. Huh? Physics. Physics. Physics. Physics. No, not different. Physics. Physics. So I think it is some high energy physics experiments where they were generating large amounts of data which they wanted to analyze and so they started sending and that is how it started. So all this is for some such lab, I do not remember exactly but yes some such lab and defense some people say because some funding was also from I think DARPA but in any case. So it is for sharing information that this entire exercise started, of course we share lots of information, some of it is social, some of it is technical and mostly you will see blogs in Wikipedia, there are lots of technical content. I have not seen too much in Twitter but I think this workshop should start that revolution. There is a strong scientific community in India which tweets, so that will be nice to have and emails is something that everybody writes. So I am going to concentrate mostly on email, I will not concentrate on others but in the online version and in the other session in December we might have some exercises there too because there will be writing exercises. So again, this is what I think. You should disagree, you might disagree and I do not have a problem with that. Even with people who have like-minded this thing we all do not agree all the time so it is okay but this is something that I think and you do not take it just because I said so, you decide how you will do it. The first thing is it is preferable to have your email ID as your name, nicknames as email IDs is not very professional. Now I know that some email software will suggest you that you can put some numbers with your names and things like that as much as possible you should avoid it. If you are writing a technical mail, a professional mail, it should go from your name. I have my full name, that is how your email ID should be as much as possible. I know that some common names are there where you cannot but there are always initials, there are always this ways of .mp, there must be thousands of Guru Rajan's I know. So I am not going to get Guru Rajan. But I can make it still very specific and very perfect. No nicknames, no names with multiple meanings, no funny names, no numbers as much as possible. At least you have the choice of doing it with your official email. Maybe Yahoo and Google does not give you but official email you can always have unless there are policies. I know that there are places where the policy is only the initials and things like that. But even if it is you should talk to your administrator and tell them that this is not very professional. Professional is to have proper name in your email ID. So it is preferable as much as possible you should use. So why do we write emails? Of course for the same reason why we do anything related to communication. You want to get information, you want to communicate information, you want to collaborate, you want to resolve disputes. You want to complain. You are very unhappy with what happened. You traveled by air and then there was your baggage did not arrive properly or something you checked in. It was broken or you sent a courier and the courier has not reached it is one week. So you will write a mail. And so sometimes it happens that somebody has written a complaint. Somebody is asking you why this happened. Someone has written to the dean that he did not give me a proper exam or he did not correct it properly or I deserve 80 marks, he has given only 40 marks, you may have to explain. But please remember there are many things that you can say person to person which you cannot write down in an email. Not because there is anything wrong with it, not saying you are not writing it because it is okay to say because there is no record unless somebody is recording. Only because when you say things, the communication happens not just with what you say but with your body language and with your gestures and how the person perceives. You know even if I start saying something, if I perceive that the person is not taking it in this fashion, I will change it and I will change it instantaneously. That is not possible when you have sent a mail. Somebody reads the mail. How in what tone that person is going to read the mail is something over which you have no control. So you have to assume that the person is going to read in whichever tone he or she wants and in whatever tone they read, it does not sound arrogant or complying or demeaning. How do we do this? We do this by putting markers. You might not say please and thank you when you talk but in emails please use them frequently. Never sign off a mail without regards or greetings or best wishes. If you are addressing somebody, always try to address with the maximum possible respect. You want to address somebody, you want to send a mail, you do not know whether and so and so is a miss or a doctor. Use doctor. It is okay for them to say that I am not doctor, call me miss. But if they are doctor and if you have called miss, that is a problem. You want to call somebody professor, please call professor. Let them say that I am not a professor, call me doctor. Not even your students unless you are familiar, address them without miss or miss. Even in classes sometimes if I am very angry, I always address my students as sir or madam to say that I do not have anger against the person but against the action. But these kind of markers are extremely important when you do not have a control over how the person is going to read the mail. What tone they are going to use, what mood they are in, I mean the same line might mean different to that person depending on when and how they are reading. So it is very, very important that when you write all this. If you are writing for example to get information, first line should be I am writing this mail to get this information. That would be very clear if I go and knock on somebody's door and I am going to ask some information, my tone and my way will tell them that I am going to ask for information. I am asking for help, I am making a request. But that might not how it will sound when you send a mail. I have seen n number of students making this mistake. I am sure that when they are reading the mail in their minds, they are reading with a tone which is very polite but when I am reading that mail I am not reading it with very polite tone for whatever reason. Then that affects. So you should know like your technical thing, what is it that question I am asking when you are writing mail also you should be clear as to why you are writing the mail. That should be the first line of your mail. Thank you very much for your mail. I am answering to this query. I am writing this mail to complain against this thing that happened on such and such type also. So there are more things of this type. So in other words a good email has lots of markers and aphastrophes, scamas, colons and whatever markers which will also tell about the tone. So you should use them as extensively as possible. This is the format of emails. All of you have written emails I know but still sometimes people have a tendency to send a mail without subject. You should not do. People have a tendency to write just high and then mails should not do. People have a tendency to mail 10 people at the same time where the information is irrelevant. You should not do. People have a tendency to reply in a group for a mail for which they are answering to a specific person to the entire group. You should not do. Okay. So there are lots of things that you should not do simply because you are writing it in a professional technical context. Okay. Now first is subject. There should always be a subject and it should be as pithy as possible. It should be as directed as possible and all of you have this experience probably you know you are away for half a day come back open the email there are 150 emails. Most of them are of course trying to sell me some cent or something but there are also some 15 mails in between some of them from the dean some of them the students and some of them are very urgent because the student has suddenly realized that he or she needs a recommendation letter by this evening. Now when I come and look at the mails I am also trying to scan and decide which ones are important. Of course first you take all these promotion mails junk them and then look at the remaining mails and then if there is a mail from dean and if there is a mail from student I am going to read the dean's mail assuming that it is important. It might not be that important. But I would know provided in your subject you have written that request for recommendation letter urgent or something like that. So you should always write and also you should not abuse subject when it is not urgent please do not write it. And next should be the address. Like I said you should always address as politely as possible. It is okay to call somebody who is not a professor as professor than to call somebody as doctor. Similarly it is always better to call somebody as doctor than to call somebody as mister. So depending on the context please use the maximum greeting that is available for you. Then this is slightly American this is not common. So when I write mails so I write dear okay so professor Sundar do you put a comma or do you put a colon? Just use colon and generally we are used to writing comma. What is the difference? Why should you put a colon? Okay so it is just a marker suppose if you are very busy I am walking into your office I want to talk to you I will call your name I will wait for some time okay. If I have more if I want to show more respect I will wait for longer till the person's attention comes back to whatever I am asking for. So colon basically tells that you are being extrapolate okay it is okay to call Sundar this is what I want but if I know that Sundar is very busy I do not know when the mail reaches him maybe it reaches him when he is really busy then I call Sundar then I wait. Only when Sundar gives his attention to me I am going to say now the colon that you have put basically tells that you are addressing the person and you want to give a long pass the long pass is basically to indicate that okay so I am giving a pass so that you can give your attention to me. So again this is a marker this is not Jamsen random put comma put colon yes ma'am what is that I do not know so you should not do that is what I am telling in you know if I write a mail to my friend that is okay no no no if you are writing mails please do write as much of punctuation as possible like somebody noticed with Subramanian Chandrasekhar's writing this morning punctuation is what basically tells a person how to read something okay especially when you want to convey tones punctuations are the best way of conveying tones and of course there is also the error of using more punctuation than necessary in these internet communication there are for example emoticon and when you are using emoticons each one has a meaning and some of them are not to be used in professional context okay people tend to use it this indiscriminately for example there is a smiley face there is a smiley face this just means a smile but there is this which also means that you are so you should not write this winking emoticon when you're writing a professional mail but people have a tendency you know they think that this is smiley face it is not this is a smiley face so now if you don't know please don't use it if you are using it go look up there are lots of dictionaries which will tell you which means what and some of them are not meant for communicating with your students or with your colleagues or with your superiors again I mean I know this because students write they sense mails like this I'm sure they don't mean to wink at me okay but they don't realize yes sir as ma'am pointed out nowadays in modern business communication we are advised to use open in punctuation right that is business communication in technical communication please don't do oh thank you very much okay businesses are becoming more friendly maybe but technical people are very very conservative okay so for whatever reason there are also there are cultural differences you know I have heard this from somebody if it becomes like that that is very unfortunate but technical should not be business yes sir open letter format nowadays there are two two letter writing types one is a closed type and open type and when we come under open time so close the type it's supposed not to use a punctuation mark it says that's what and announced he also is advising to what's called a practice such letters only I understand but that is business communication no no no I'm talking with technical English that is communication technical communication only please don't do technical communication even if you are writing email that is just a replacement for paper and pen please please don't do this is my advice of course I am being very conservative like I said I mean I can call just Sundar and with a comma I can write a mail I would still put a colon because I'm trying to convey some information that I cannot convey by just writing okay so because of which please as much as possible use as many of the punctuation marks as possible to communicate what is your tone okay yes the punctuations are a necessary part of what we are trying to communicate and more and more necessary when we are communicating in the written medium because they mean the correct pauses and gaps which are not there when we are writing so it is the open punctuation does not at all mean that we have to do away with the communication with the punctuation marks whatever marks are necessary they have to be there like what this colon means it has to be there doing away with this mean means it will mean that you know writing it in a more casual or less formal way which we do not mean in our informal communication I might I might be exchanging mails with somebody either with that person in a informal context like I mean for example I'll give you another example I call like I said my advisor by name I always call him abhi but if I am writing a mail from here requesting him to come and give a talk in our department the letter still goes as the dear professor Abhinandan with the colon I am writing this mail to request you to come and visit us on such and such date and give such and such talk it is true with him also he might write a mail to me on some personal thing without even address okay that the mail might start that this this this this but if he's writing an formal invitation to me he still addresses me as dear professor Guru Rajan with colon okay now this has got nothing to do with who you are writing so but the context in which you are writing okay the the example that you gave right now now I just want to ask is that a part of business communication or it is a part of technical communication I think it's very difficult to do business is when I say I will pay you thousand rupees can you come and do it for me I write a mail to somebody that I want one kilogram of copper billet what is the cost but I am asking professor Abhinandan and to come and give a talk in my seminar is technical please remember technical has several aspects there is a social aspect of technical it doesn't become business is for me only when there is a transaction and it's a business transaction okay so now you might think that buying a copper billet is technical it is not for me because with the person with whom I am buying the copper billet it's a technical business relationship but I might write my to my collaborator in Sweden asking for a cold rolled copper sample same information I'm asking from both can you get me one kilogram billet of copper one kilogram of rot copper sample but to the other person when I write I will write dear professor so and so we are trying to do this experiment I understand that you produce this could you please share a billet for us for our experiment so please remember it's the context dependent okay same thing you are asking you are asking two different people one will be considered as business communication another one will be considered as technical communication basically because the guy who sells me billets don't care how I address or how much impatient I am okay but in the other context it's not so I'm not looking that's what I said I mean if I write to him as advisor I might write to dear abhi because that is my advisor student relationship but when I am writing as a faculty member asking for sending a draft copy of your paper and asking the comment right there is also necessary whether there is also necessary that depends on how what kind of relationship you have with your advisor for me I still used to write dear abhi this is the latest draft thanks thank you sir I personally think use a punctuation mark is not about being conservative or being respectful to that addressy normally we have certain conventions and using open punctuation style is one of the convention that we normally follow in our latest in our latest okay that doesn't show this you know that your courtesy or that doesn't show disrespect to your addressy at all okay the only thing is that you can avoid some of the punctuation marks in the sections like you know that your salutation part or in heading part or or this or the concluding sections of your later or your formal that in your formal document just to reduce the the amount of effort that you put in in that process okay that's what I'm telling you might think that this is the point the point I'm trying to tell you might not how it will be perceived always the point on the paper side sir the point I'm trying to tell you that we we cannot we cannot avoid using punch punctuation mark punctuation marks in the main body of the text the text main body because the change in punctuation mark will change the semantic aspect of the point I am trying to make is different in the greetings and when you are signing off you can save some effort by not putting punctuation mark it might even be taken in the right spirit that this is just to save some effort to this punctuation is removed but there is no guarantee that under all circumstances it will be read in that fashion so if you want to be on the safer side please use punctuation but but use a comma like I said this is my personal opinion you are welcome to try other things I am not stopping you but because I am teaching now this is my opinion please use as much punctuation as possible open punctuation keep it out of technical communication okay you don't know how an editor in Sweden perceives your letter please nobody is going to take a class for him as to what open punctuation mean that person was born and brought up in 1945 where sitting in the kitchen from his mother if he wants to say something he has to ask with please okay so cultural context are different so please don't if you are writing technical be conservative use as much of punctuation as possible this is very very important in my opinion you are welcome to write the other type of mails if it works for you all the all the same to you okay sir punctuation is necessary and you also you have said that the relationship is very important right if I am going to address my friend he's very close I'm meeting after a long time right I think there is no please I mean I'm not talking anything other than my technical communication common supplementation here if I'm going to address my friend who is who I have seen after a long time I can even use an exclamation mark I'm not talking about that kind of mails please I'm not teaching here business writing or letter writing okay you you write whatever you want to your friend I'm talking in a in a technical context okay I okay let me be very clear I'm talking about mails that you write to your students mails that you write to your colleagues mails that you write to your superiors mails that you write to your collaborators mails that you write to editorial boards journals funding agencies you know you can't say you send a mail to DST secretary or some some official in DST for your project you can't say this is open punctuation please don't do he might even be okay with open punctuation to be on the safer side please put all the commas all the colons and send the letter okay so this is what I mean okay now many a ties when you write an email if you are writing for the first time you also need to introduce yourself now this first time is the very context specific thing for example I might write to the dean once and after three months I'm again I am writing to the dean the context is different say for example first time I wrote to the dean as a new faculty member joined the department after three months I am writing because I have a problem in the hostel where I am the warden please introduce yourself again even with the dean even if you are writing in your capacity as a faculty member if your second mail is after six months please introduce yourself okay because the dean might be getting lots of mails from faculty members you are one person meeting the dean and you think that the dean knows me and he might even know you okay but that does not mean that in all contexts the moment he sees a mail without reading what is the name that you have signed off with and even then sometimes the dean might not remember who it is okay so depending on the context I don't want you to introduce yourself for a mail exchange that is happening for the past one week for example first time you wrote I am so-and-so I'm a faculty member in this department this is why I'm writing and he has written back you are writing back something and at that time I don't want you to say again that I am so-and-so writing okay that is okay but in suppose you are writing after a long break or you are writing to somebody who you know will get lots of mails of this type or you are writing to the same person in a different context please introduce yourself please say that I am Guru Rajan I am writing as the warden of this particular hostel regarding this problem okay so the greeting and introducing yourself is also very very important again this is a little bit conservative okay there is a extra sentence about you are introducing yourself if the dean knows who you are Guru Rajan after that he might want to skip but that option is his or hers I'm not going to make that decision as far as I am concerned I'm going to write a professional email okay now when you describe the rest of it the body of what you are writing people make the mistake of not splitting it into paragraphs okay that is the big no no we read information by bunching information together so every new thought in your email even if it is one sentence they should all be different paragraph okay every new thought should be a different paragraph this is very very important suppose you are describing a complex situation you describe what happened you describe what needs to be done you describe what are the ways in which this can be handled so some of them could be quite complex and if it is going to be a long email even at the beginning you can say I'm going to write this long mail to address these these these issues so that that will serve as a marker so that the dean can read the relevant paragraphs but there should be a paragraph wise sectioning that should happen please remember email might be shorter communication but writing a good email takes actually longer than writing everything down okay it's always true in the as far as writing is concerned being shorter is much more difficult than being very elaborate and if you are writing to people whom you know you they are going to be very busy you should also be as concise and as precise as possible okay and then you have to sign off sign off should be done with full name please don't sign off with your nicknames and you should have a signature file which has lists your name your designation your group your department whatever the alternate emails if necessary so this is a more professional email that you would write in a technical context editors to whom you write authors to whom you write and the collaborators generally it doesn't happen after a couple of mails you are your close maybe you don't need it but if you are establishing collaboration for first time or requesting somebody for some help for first time then it is better that you write like this so that people can see the mail and they can understand that you are very professional in the way you deal with these things okay the subject should be very short because there is only some n letters it shows and it should contain all the vital information you should know your recipients okay and you are you should tune your subject according to your recipients maybe it is the same talk seminar notice you are sending when you send to your group your students and when you send to the department it need not have the same subject okay depending on what you want or what action you expect you can tune so please don't send common mails to everybody okay that is another common problem that I have found please don't send common mails before sending any time you send a mail to more than three or four people you have to think if whether it is essential whether there is a way to split it in smaller groups and send the mail in smaller groups or whether everybody needs to know all this information okay this can avoid lots of trouble if you can do it professionally okay and never leave the subject blank and if you are forwarding sometimes it is better to change the format because it has come after 15 forwards so in the subject all I can see is FWD FWD FWD okay please edit it make it easier for the other person to follow what the mail is about okay address as dear so and so again I have a different opinion lots of people write respected the so and so and you know please don't do any of that generally it is not expected that's what I'm telling you should also know when to be conservative in what way to be conservative to call somebody respected goes beyond being conservative and that is you know at some level I think that is degrading I mean professor is a professor what is respected about my best is respected for some of his ideas and maybe a couple of papers so I don't think because of that everybody has to address professor all the time as respected and this is true for Dean director whoever it is dear director you can write dear professor so and so you can write respected director is not needed that is you know more respect than is necessary okay in my opinion because it is still professional you call somebody dear director I am writing this mail to complain about this that is it done don't need it okay and okay so the the colon we have discussed and never write professional mails just dear or just a dear mister okay it's a slang to call somebody as just a dear mister okay please don't address anybody and if you don't know the person's name address with the person's position call dear assistant registrar okay it's okay if you know his name you can say dear doctor Varma that is different but just don't leave it a dear mister okay and yeah so respected esteemed and all please avoid it's not really required in professional context okay so when the gender of the reader is not known right how to address him or her dear madam slash sir but actually again please don't mistake me because we've been training students and business English certificate so in which we are not supposed to use dear sir or man then what do you do so but actually nobody is giving a very clear answer for this address non-gender specific terms are okay dear professor for example doesn't say whether the professor is man or woman okay dear doctor is okay if you don't know okay it is always okay to write a dear madam slats are for example you might write to a journal the copy editor has sent some corrections to your English okay you don't know whether the copy editor is so you write dear madam slats are okay dear editor is okay or dear copy editor is okay for all you have to address you can write madam slats are nothing wrong with that okay so finish with regards best regards sincerely best wishes thanking you looking forward to hearing from you can use whatever you want sign off with full name and you know sometimes there is also a cultural thing sometimes people sign off if you sign off with your nickname for example if I sign off a mail to somebody as a guru then that is just an indication to the other person that I am okay being called guru okay sometimes in that context it might mean that if I sign off as guru Rajan I am telling the other person that I want to be addressed as guru Rajan okay so but that is very very context specific that doesn't have for example you might write a letter to the journal editor whether you sign off as guru or guru Rajan he is going to look up your name as it is in the paper and that is how he or she is going to address okay but in some other context you know you are contacting some professor maybe a couple of males have been exchanged if you consistently sign off with a nickname then the person will think that that is how he or she would like you to address that is how they will read this information by the same token most of the times they also expect that if they have signed off saying Peter they expect you to say dear Peter okay now personally I never do that unless I am explicitly told that please don't address me as this address me as this okay but convention you know allows you this freedom that if you want you can address like that but that is a personal decision I generally don't do unless I'm explicitly told that you know please address me like this and similarly I also write to people if I think that they should not be addressing like this I write saying that please address me as this now after somebody tells you please address me like this not addressing them with that is also wrong that is also considered as impolite if somebody tells please call me Peter if you keep calling them as professor over here then you are disrespecting the person this is again a cultural thing if they tell you so it is better for you to be on the safer side okay but if you are told to do this please do it don't have any hesitation okay not doing that is not going to get you any brownie points and there is no brownie points to get in this case either okay if somebody tells you're trying to collaborate you're trying to interact you have to exchange four mails and says okay please call me this please switch from next mail onwards to that address okay when you meet in person you might even adjust how you address but that is a different issue and I generally don't like people who sign off with titles no some people sign off sign off as Dr. Guru Rajan again I don't like it because it has that connotation when you say when you sign off a letter saying Dr. Guru Rajan you're basically demanding that the receiver call you always as Dr. Guru Rajan okay so please don't do that if you have anything like a doctor you put it below in your affiliation whatever you know professor distinguished professor fellow of this society that society everything can go in the signature when you sign off you should sign off just with your name okay and please don't have in your formal sign off codes or jokes or you know things like that they are okay for other email exchange but in your formal email exchange you should not have anything of that sort okay so most email programs allow you to have a signature file you should generate a good one and you should keep it and it should be updated you know sometimes you send a mail they might want to contact you and if there is a phone number there it had better be operating it should not I should not get a message that you know this number does not exist okay so please give postal address phone numbers alternate email addresses sometimes people try to respond and the email is not reaching it is bouncing if there is an alternate email if that information is there then they can work with it okay and any other information you might think is relevant should be there okay again this is something that we have already discussed partly always start your mail by greeting or introducing yourself if it is delayed please write I'm sorry for the delay in writing to you right I'm so-and-so I'm writing in this capacity okay and or if you're writing in some other capacity please let the people know that that is a capacity in which you are writing this mail okay so so for everything you should start a new idea you should start a different paragraph and these kind of markers you are writing for what should be part of it again to avoid how it is being read okay so so they basically do the job of tonal cues I mean polite people behave in some manner so email also has its own politeness indicators okay I'm all that I'm saying is that please follow them it might look over polite to you but it is okay than to sound impolite okay so so because of this never write all capital okay writing all capitals on online communication forum means that you are shouting okay please don't do that never okay there are much more better ways of saying things forcefully than shouting okay one of them is to say that I'm extremely unhappy and I'm writing this letter to complain I mean that has a much more of a impact than in all caps that what did you do okay okay so and don't use any unexplained abbreviations it might be common in the circles in which you work it is not necessary that it is known to everybody and this happens even in for example in the hostel we might say something for someplace but the dean doesn't know that that is commonly called that so it is better to expand the abbreviations when you're writing so depending on context you should know what not to abbreviate and please never send any mail with spelling errors always do a spell check and the auto spellers and completions are very dangerous okay after you write the mail please always read one before you say send and even when you send there are email programs which allow you to have an option of taking it back about a minute or so for example Google allows please switch on that facility okay sometimes you hit send then you realize something is wrong I received a mail last week saying dear professor Preetapant I'm also trying to contact professor Guru Rajan can you be there at that time okay so person is using the same template so I wrote to him saying that I am assuming that you are trying to address professor Guru Rajan if so this is my answer okay so please don't do that so no single mass writing okay paragraph structure is important punctuations are important and email structure is important okay leave enough space between address with regards a signing signature everything okay so it's always a good idea especially if you are angry not to send the mail immediately especially if you are angry it is a very good idea to send the mail through two or three people before sending okay there are some couple of really nasty mails from which I was saved because my seniors told me that yeah this mail reaps very nice now delete the draft and go home good advice just because we have a mean of means of communicating something we don't have to communicate and I think when we are angry when we are upset especially in the technical things you know a paper is rejected and you think it is unfairly rejected it's very easy to write a nasty mail and regret it for the rest of your life please don't do it okay you should I mean if you think it is unfair you should fight it but you should fight with the dignity and without losing your cool it's okay after one week if you are still convinced that you want to write this mail send it but reading that mail people should understand your anger as well as how much dignified you are in your tone how much you are holding back that is what gives impact not the shouting okay so switch on the retract email option if possible compose elsewhere cut and paste and then send it's always a good idea to have somebody read okay and never send a mail when you are angry upset or in a hurry okay these are prescriptions for mistake okay now this is another thing which you should be very careful so so email IDs especially the professional ones that you have should be considered like your credit card or one-time password whatever so please don't share it with anybody and don't play pranks with emails okay and they are legal documents by the way at least at IIT they are legal documents anything that I write in an email is equivalent to my writing it on a piece of paper and signing that is why the password I can't say somebody else has taken it that will not be considered as for Jen okay if somebody has taken my email and sent it it's my problem unless I can prove criminal intent that I didn't give that person hacked okay so now there are some more email etiquette points that I want to be prompt in your reply be simple direct and short do not sign up for messages so there is some some cue box a mailbox I don't know what it is there are people who sign up for such services which unnecessarily flood the email boxes of the people who send you mails okay be careful will you sign up for them but not with your professional account the the professional account you use for sending mails to editors and your collaborators and your dean please keep them away from these kind of services you don't need any of those services for them okay and and there are also email services which will look up your address book and send and sometimes they send you know generalized email and address in a very unprofessional manner and and not very pleasant okay people can get upset if it happens okay so so people you know will will ban you from sending them mails it can happen and not for your mistake I mean just because some stupidity of this art that can get you in trouble so please don't and email communication also means it is very fast which also means that people do expect to replies within some time frame okay if there is going to be a delay you know you are working on it you want to reply after a week immediately for acknowledgement send a mail saying that yes I have received it will take so much of time for me to respond and keep the time okay and once you say I'll do it you should do it within the timeline and you have to be extremely careful with attachments unless you know people very well and unless you know that they are okay with the attachment don't send huge attachments and you know some people also have a tendency to click send oh it's not going send then I get four mails with the huge attachment in my mail box and of course next day I'm going to shout at that student okay please don't do that and use emails sparingly and professionally in the professional context again I'm not talking about other emails that you write in the professional context for example just because you have a email does not mean that you will write every time once in two months to the editor about the review of your paper please don't do okay reminder mails are different and they have to be written in some fashion so it takes some time if you want to write you should take that time and write in that manner okay there are very tough emails that all of us have to write time to time okay one scenario that I can think of is your paper got a nasty review and you are not happy about the review how will you write a polite but proper mail that the editor cannot take offense about the way you have complained but we'll consider your complaint okay one conducting a conference you have rejected a paper in the author of the paper has written your nasty mail okay you want to say no but you want to say it politely and you want to say it firmly okay and you can also you might also want to say that you don't appreciate this tone in the mail now how do you say all this politely okay okay so you want to go for a conference the registration fee is too high you want to ask for a fee waiver how to ask for it okay so you have met some researchers in the conference where you went and there is always a good thing to keep contacts and the way to do is to send a mail after you come back but again this mails have to be written very very professionally so that the person who receives the mail would like to keep in touch with you and would not see you as somebody who is bothering okay how do you do how do you do without over signaling means you know you are trying to latch on to the person or you are trying to extract something out of the person so the person who is receiving the mail should not get that feeling and that is where you know dear respected professor kind of things actually backfires against you should not write you met the professor in the conference and then you write this extra humble letter can put off people okay so you don't want to do that either you want to be very professional you want to sound very professional but your aim is to keep in touch with the professor how do you do that okay so I wanted to actually like Suntha did wanted to do some exercise to read some random mails and then try to give a comment unfortunately it wouldn't be possible now but in the December session we will do some of it and in the online session also we will do some of it okay okay so I think time for coffee and then we will have discussion over coffee

Hey everyone, you're about to watch a video that's going to get thousands of views. Very cool, but your ad needs to be right here. Give me a call. The Floyd County Public Library will be holding a story time with Santa on Saturday, December 9th. I think it just kind of adds to the magic of Christmas in a way. And I think a lot of times it's just as good for the adults that come as it is for the kids because sometimes as adults we are a lot more likely to forget that magic as we get older and have to deal with so many other things. Children will have the opportunity to have a story read to them by Santa and then get to make crafts, play games and take photos with Santa. I love the opportunity to have them experience that while being surrounded by books and things like that. So hopefully they can kind of connect the magic that comes with reading to the magic of Christmas and that maybe they'll be more likely to come visit us more often. The story time with Santa event will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, December 9th. For more information, you can visit the Floyd County Public Library Facebook page. For Mountaintop News, I'm Kelsey Fidele.


As I'm working on being more effective, being able to get things done, my thought for today is about different energy levels, different gears, different speeds at which we can work. It seems like the way I've usually been thinking is, you know, trying to get into a good mindset, trying to get into the right state. And maybe what something I've been missing is that there really isn't just one good state. There are many. And depending on the moment, we can help to shift ourselves into the best mindset to meet that moment. And this seems to open up a whole rainbow of possibilities so that we can appreciate different moments and interact with different moments and different parts of life in the universe in different ways. And it seems to make room for a lot of flexibility. So when I think about, well, what kind of different mental states? Well, that's so broad that I'm going to have to start with simply this idea of speeds or the metaphor of gears as in having different gears for an engine to run at different speeds and being able to shift into these different speeds of operation. Now, of course, we could have any number of different speeds, but as I'm just getting started, I think a good way to look at it would be three gears. So we have the standard regular operating mode. And then there's a high gear or a fast gear where I'm able to, where I go into greater intensity. So the high gear would be for states of greater focus, intensity, greater effort, greater energy. That's the high gear full on. And the idea with this gear is that I am giving it my all. I am completely diving into life. And whether it's work or play for work, it is the most intense concentration and concerted effort. And for play it is diving into life and enjoying it to the full. So that's like dialing it up, kick it up a notch. The expression goes dial it up to a higher gear, take it to a higher speed. And then the opposite side of that, I can take things down to a slow gear to a low level. And this would be, I mainly think of relaxing in the evening. This would be as I'm getting ready for sleep. I do not want to be in the high intense gear. I want to be pulling everything down to a very mellow, chill, relaxed, slow, unhurried, unworried level. And this is all about rest, recovery, shutting things down. And also about a sense of leaving space. A sense of having space be open so that rather than with the high intensity, it's like I'm fully plugged into life. I'm being very active. At the low level, it's more passive, receptive and appreciating life in a very inactive kind of way. So when I think about these three possible speeds, the fast, medium, slow, it seems like thinking about things this way can fix a few problems that seem to be pretty common. Because a lot of discomfort and dissatisfied and just unfulfilling and just sort of off, those kind of off moments. Some of those seem to be due to being in the wrong gear for the time. And if you just think of any mismatch, any of the possible mismatches of the gears, then you can picture how being in the wrong gear can kind of throw things off. So if we divide everything to being this sort of fast, medium, slow, you have three possible states things can be in and three possible states that you can be in. And so there are nine possible combinations of your mindset with the mindset that is being called for. And so three of those would be the idea as in the situation calls for intensity, you're bringing intensity. It calls for relaxation, you're bringing relaxation. And the other six would be states where there's a mismatch. Now the most obvious, of course, is the mismatch of the high and low. So that's the easiest one to see. Imagine a situation where it is late in the evening and you have to be up early. And so you also want to get a good night's sleep so it should be time to go to sleep. Well, if you're in the high intensity mode, it's very difficult to sleep. And this is a problem that's all too familiar to me where that feeling of when you're working a job that you was not satisfying and you only have those few hours at home in the evening to do anything you actually care about.  Then you have you have dinner and you have like, oh, a short time where you could. Okay, now I can really live and now I can do everything that I care about. And then, oh, now look, it's almost midnight. I have to be up early tomorrow to do this again. And now I have to bring things down again. So there's clearly a mismatch and this is something I'm still working on now because, you know, my favorite way to work is to really get on a roll and I really get into it and enjoy it. But then if it's already the end of the day by then and then either I will have to, you know, sleep in if I can, but then I guess late start tomorrow or I lose some sleep. And the best thing to do is to be able to pull myself down, pull my energy level down to a state where I'm relaxed and restful, ready to sleep and then go to sleep and then pick things up again in the morning. So clearly that's when if I'm in the high energy state and time calls for low energy. Now the opposite is perhaps even worse. Well, certainly I would have to say it's worse because we all need to have that time of intensity. If we never have that high gear intensity in our lives, it seems like we're missing, we're really missing out on an important part of life. We're just, we never get into that high energy state or at least maybe that's just me, but I like getting into that intense high energy state. And if it's time for me to do important work or it's time for me to enjoy life in an intense way, if the moment is calling for this intensity and I'm in a mellow low energy state, then I'm missing out. I won't be able to bring what I need. So this would be a case anytime when there's intensity call for, maybe you have, you know, it's game time, it's showtime, it's you have to write an exam, you have to do an important business meeting or event when you're being called for or you're going to like a special party of some kind. So you're or you're meeting a loved one. These, when you're, you're called to intensity, but then you're in the low energy mindset. This is even more of a sad state to be in. So once again, I find myself saying things that seem to be very obvious, but I hope that this will be of some help because I think for me it's helping me to just think about the idea of these states. Think about two things. What state am I in and what state is the moment calling for? And then if I find that I'm not in that right state, then I can take some steps to do anything to shift my mental gear, either through pumping myself up to get reminding myself of the importance of the moment, reminding myself of aliveness, you know, feeling that feeling of aliveness to like pump myself up to the intense high gear or letting everything go, putting all that down saying I'll pick it up tomorrow and maybe listening to quiet music, maybe reading a book, and something to like really take me down to the low gear when it's needed. So the details of exactly how to change gears, that is a whole topic in itself, but it seems like the first step is simply to notice how we are and how we need to be.


President Mohamed Abu Hari and the visiting circuit Antonio Guterres today engage in talks bordering on war against terrorism, food security and other international issues. We welcome Guterres at the State House at about 3pm before going into closed-door discussions on matters affecting Nigeria, Africa and the world at large. Guterres who arrived in Nigeria on a two-day visit was in Meduguri, Urbano, where he interacted with victims and repentant Islamist militants on Tuesday. He is visiting Nigeria for the first time since he assumed duty as UN Secretary-General. He had before the meeting with President Abu Hari performed a reslay in ceremony for victims of the 2011 bombing at Nigeria's UN House in Avudha. It's really no true solution to the problem of global food security without bringing back the agricultural production of Ukraine and the food and fertilizer production of Russia and Belarus into world markets despite the war. And I'm determined to do everything to facilitate a dialogue that can help achieve this objective. Coming at a time when the entire global attention is focused on the unfortunate situation in Ukraine, we in this region are feeling already that the world is forgetting about us. There can be no better assurance that the world is with us as we confront extremist terrorist organizations, hunger and the enormous problems of leading with millions of displaced people that this important visit. Paul Ejima, an international affairs expert, join us now to take a look at the significance of this visit. Good evening Mr. Ejima. So why does Nigeria need to wait for Russia and Ukraine for food sustenance? Well, that is part of the governance problem that Africa, you know, not just Nigeria but Africa, they have had to deal with it, that they are not self-sufficient in food production. And so you have to depend on those who can produce and then you continue to buy. You remember that recently there was talk about rice, pyramid and all that. What I suppose is that Nigeria has taken eyes off the ball. Nigeria is an agricultural country but has really left all that. Remember the story about the palm tree and palm carnival, palm oil, the Malaysians came to Nigeria and then they took the knot and now they are the world's greatest exporter while Nigeria is still maybe becomes a net importer. So it is about policy, about governance, about being able to put your house in order. To grow what you can eat and then, you know, live, even export. Nigeria can do that. Remember the days of, they are not pyramids, you had coal in the West where you had coal building and then the palm oil that we are talking about in the East. So with all that, Nigeria is doing a cut-off. It is about system failure and policy failure that is used to be addressed to the don't have any reason to depend on anybody, not let alone Ukraine or Russia for food. So what are the foreseeable gains of the meeting today between President Buhari and the UN Secretary-General Antony Gautairas? Well, remember this is the first time the Secretary-General has visited Nigeria. He took office in 2017 and has been to a number of African countries, even to Tuku, nearby and this one, he has been to Senegal and then Niger before coming to Nigeria. What can Nigeria get from there? It's about talk and maybe promises about what the UN can do. But really, what the UN can do because of the agency, you have the World Food Program, you have all those that are affiliated to the international organization that have been helping and can also help. You have the World Health Organization. So all these are dual systems that can, and that is their role actually because belonging to these organizations means that you have to benefit from them. So it's not just so much that they're doing Nigeria a shame or any other country because you are a member and that is what you, like an umbrella that's supposed to provide you when there is rain. But what I thought is that, like the President was saying, it looks like Africa is not on the radar. Look at the kind of international mobilization that has come behind Ukraine. You wonder, what about the conflicts that have been happening in Africa? What about malaria, for instance? Malaria kills more people than all the international conflicts put together.  So, but what has happened? The world has not even as much as come with a vaccine that can really be what you can use, the bullet, same bullet that you can use to stop this deadly disease. But when it was COVID, you know, everybody is rushing within one year or so, they were able to come up with a vaccine. So Africa, but you don't really have to blame the outsiders. I think most of it is about leadership in Africa. African leaders, Africa is not zero poor and can turn for itself, can feed itself.  All the money that Africa makes, all the, you talk about corruption, what they, they will do house some of this money abroad, outside. And then, you know, then go outside there to enjoy the money. I mean, how can the people behave that with maybe it's a case of some mental problem that Africa has. Africa has a lot, more than it has enough to feed itself and then take care of all its needs. But once you have conflict here and there, five African countries are being governed by and then terrorism is there, you know, and then, you know, if one conflict or the other disease, you know, the conflict was, that is what Africa has become known for, which is unfortunate. Is Nigeria doing enough to pull its supply weight in the global community, would you say? We must. Is Nigeria doing enough to pull its supply weight in the global community? Well, I think that was the, you know, the answer is there. But, you know, in the end, the country used to play a major part in the past, when it was, you know, using the oil, the petroleum dollar, oil dollar to, to effect and dissent international relations, making sure that many countries in Africa, all their independence, countries like Zimbabwe, Namibia, even in South Africa, Nigeria was instrumental to bringing it, you know, to bringing it to an end. But what has happened today, even at the ECOAS, look at the ECOAS level, I think Nigeria should do more to bring its weight. And it can't be about potential. Nigeria has always been described as a country with great potential. But potentials cannot translate by themselves into greatness. You need to, you need to make it work. You need to work.

So the Broncos are getting a lot of hype right now with the new addition of their quarterback Russell Wilson I mean they should be able to beat the Seahawks and the Texans we gonna see though But I'll give them a dub in those first few games, but I think they lose the next three Then y'all got to go on the road to play the Chargers and look Jay Herbos not letting y'all walk out that stadium with the W But they lucked up though because they get the Jags and the Jets going into the week off So those are two dubs. They do unfortunately come out to buy with the elves. They're not beating Tennessee in Tennessee It's just not happening. They should beat the Raiders at the crib and they'll take that momentum over to Carolina And they'll beat the Panthers now. This is where things get a little bit dice elegance the Ravens elegance the Chiefs Probably should be able to beat the Cardinals. I'll give you the dub there But then you got to take another L when you put the Rams and take another L When you go to the Chiefs at Arrowhead, then you'll finish off the season with the dub against the Chargers So the Broncos finish up the season 8-9 and they're probably gonna miss the playoffs like and look don't be mad at me I'm just telling y'all what it is man. Better luck next year at Denver

oh shit yeah okay let's say we're just live on where should I think uh both of you out of them and I stopped giving you a shit yeah I mean they conspire yeah hell yeah okay we'll go uh sort of uh charts and we did from the charts we'll do something else okay looks like we had a massive slam already I mean it could be an already one o'clock I mean it came to the view that looks like I just lost here up into that looks like nothing uh got hit it to that extra spread uh taking that out so not many people just getting into that orders uh looks at things which is very intriguing uh to say these but I mean yeah you finally get to see some people here some action but uh if we sort of zoom in but generally speaking look at that little bit of people you go into the hand how wide the spread ended up being just uh the best uh just taking everyone for a ride I think that's the best way to say that we'll go over sort of I mean yesterday sort of scenario and yesterday and where we things and today is an actual Friday which is interesting finally like you know yesterday wasn't a Friday but today's it is Friday uh looking at this is just uh interesting sailing but this is yesterday I mean we need to push the moves back here I mean this was in time yesterday we saw that uh pushed down like like we said looking for price to come in 10 o'clock came in we had that we had that sort of uh we had that sort of push in and just like take the stop here which is always nice and from there you could have usually bought this and if you if you didn't buy this I mean they were hardy to say at least I mean just like this then we ended the session saying that's a perfect short down and you can see that short down coming into here and you got that in nice little swipe and the day comes back into this uh double here which is just below where you should see it uh keep us inside the range and not really want to go inside just taps it gets it and says it moves up uh and you know they're wondering and you know it's nice little head and shoulders and invest head and shoulders and remember like there are some points where these patterns will work because you gotta throw a dog a bone and uh when you throw a dog a bone it's it's uh it's really easy to say oh wow in here push this down then there we go we should swipe again about reaction uh from here comes in this up and again a lid and peppered in uh I'm uh yeah we'll get to that right now probably uh okay right now who do I hope will figure out probably looking for some down moves here just just looking at things you want to uh what do you read and think the market but it's okay so looking at this and you can see this high trap and from yesterday and actually send this out to this entire region here uh that came in so pasta looks like the view up right now is it's just trapped and for that came in and just kissed us here and just said you know we'll trap one more before we pull down we'll pull down and just sort of this territory here and I think what I want to do is uh remove some of that data on the left and sort of zoom in a bit more it looks like you get you have that hot heavy offset here there's a couple of that this uh jokes yeah I think so look just uh remove some of this so data and you can see just the peppered this is all this is just peppered with shorts and that's sort of something I find interesting and now now we can just say okay now as soon as we clear out this and we can see this liquidation here we can probably look for some absorption and maybe look for this to uh try and uh be a scenario where we may want to be long gone uh just uh just err on the side of portion I guess uh probably uh probably looking to see some sort of long and then some sort of up movement just purely based on uh how how data this entire sort of movement and I don't know a lot of this here is in a lot of this here uh is probably long so as soon as that's got tapped out it's and I think I can even consolidate that up a bit higher and I think I should consolidate up to this area here and you can see just we tap that view up here and then we pull put it down uh come into here I mean we're already sort of moving pretty high and we've already sort of tested this area here uh so that's something that's probably uh you're probably seeing some level of intrigue there from uh people from from there you can probably try to catch this into this point and then pull it back down anything we'll see if we can pull it back down and retest this becomes a retest to this secondary and then just breaks this as a point where we just say okay you know what we've taken all these longs out of the market we can also move this uh forward uh like so oh you can see this is all this is entirely induced selling and you can just look at that and everything just sold into this and just uh that was that apex uh right here ever since they're just okay you know why everyone's just selling and not many people are waiting up and letting up uh it's the end of the month uh which is nice uh which is a nice really uh think about it uh yeah I guess I guess it's nice end of the month uh probably just excited to just chill out and and if anything uh I mean I'm gonna really keep like really short probably only really go for another sort of six minutes in terms of the stream because uh god damn so we should quickly run for everything with speedrun okay so end of the month we will have a bunch of news coming in uh a bunch of sort of uh push out and uh coming in uh here like nicely you've bought them on the day I mean a week rather it's like you have that self nice little hole punch again we're ending the week here which is also the month and we're going to look at the month and you can see uh just a little just a little sort of nice thing hopefully we come in and sort of try uh pull this up back up to 2k and then just say like close the month here or come around here nice little doji uh I mean we're already started with this area here uh but if we sort of move this up and so close this off like as doji and we can definitely sort of try push and try make calls but I think uh the alternative is is we swipe down and take the liquidity here uh then sort of close it off uh I think I think right now we super aggressive uh I think just taking this internal liquidity here is is is what makes sense uh and sort of uh in my current sort of mind uh it's also a new quarter uh we sort of expect some quarterly uh I say functions uh quarterly moves uh out of this out of this guppy uh so this guppy should start I mean it hasn't been moving and there hasn't been any sort of shift sort of tailor to this therefore when we have this sort of area here and they think this could present a nice uh opportunity today there's that ocean probably going through that very very soon uh and then we start looking and you can just see this entire sort of consolidation range that we had marked prior and so mark the lower region here so yeah mark the lower region but you can see this entire just comes in at your person and there's your fail in terms of ah I don't even know what to say but yeah we see the consolidation right now I mean even though this quarter came in and pushed up high and it just still stayed in the consolidation this entire entire quarter uh which is which is a marvel also it's very very it's a bit bit uh but damn I'm actually I'm actually who said well who said no I don't know probably um uh and if we talk about that I mean they took everything except for this liquidity point here I mean yeah which is really interesting and then let's see our low point that we talked about push down we take this out maybe rise but I think I'm I'm so happy with sort of internal range liquidity being held uh it's just it's not needed I think to go down I mean a lot of people are just at this position where they're already sort of uh pulling down what fifth time is this it's uh giga chat brain this is uh this is what you call uh let me see if I'm actually live on book map because that will change my answer so I'm not live on book map like that I'm gonna take spares oh god damn I'm live on book map uh oops yeah no no spares okay uh so serious answer uh yeah it's it's fifth channel so what you do is you take quarter you divide it and I think I still have uh it up on uh I think PJ uh yeah there you go okay so I mean actually let's send this entire thing out I have to go in for a bit longer uh yeah and you keep this monitored so we don't we don't lose track but I why do you do this sort of rant um man I was on the pressure now I was not live on book map so okay so the entire thought training a 260 bars as that's comes into there we have a total of I mean I know it looks a bit peppered but because you take front to back back to front uh you have a total of this many lines I don't know how to count so I'm not even going to count uh plain and simple uh me having the inability to count aside uh I took a bit I'm not understanding the combination of all the awning yeah I'll articulate a bit more I'm sorry I'm just waking up uh yeah it's it's it's a bit rough okay just stretching my jaws a bit uh but okay so from zero to one that's okay plain and simple zero is the start number one is the start number so year start year end 0.75 0.25 0.5 what's this you're quartering up the year so what's that wait two so it's a quarter so that's that's a quarter uh these numbers are basically 14 28 and 48 bars uh offset as a point and so so basically essentially uh essentially 14 to great days 28 to raise it like I can't even say true my mouth but it's essentially moves in and again we're just dividing this in terms of saying okay look there's an offset period where we allow uh potential to say okay there's that price could offset and and shift here and then you can see price shifted earlier here and then and it did not start it sort of move here but we can move and say okay uh it's sort of moved a bit earlier here and and so on uh but this is sort of what we do in terms of when we grab that uh and again I use fib channels so you get more numbers in his giga chad brain you go year start pull it across make it flat um then you go year end grab it again you go year end um grab it across and this is this is perfect in terms of identifying potential as you can see there's one offset the back 14 bars one offset the forward 14 bars so you have luxury uh not even luxury you have the ability to say okay the 14 bars as your as your 28 bars and all of this is just again just lead into this as a product and I know they're weird numbers and most of these were rounded to the decimal points uh when applicable some of these I did not need to be rounded but in the total uh you have you have these numbers and it's not some sort of magic it's just uh I I know like oh wait why why are these so weird numbers oh my god oh my god oh he making up stuff again I'm like uh no it's it's just again like I said it's just those numbers are made up or a product of just saying look we have uh 260 bars and uh if I take 130 bars which is uh it doesn't make sense yeah 130 bars which is half yeah why is this overlapping just making me confused man why is everything making me confused uh so within a trading year and 306 days there's the 130 sort of trading days within within this I'm not even trading yeah 130 trading days within that sort of period I just divide that and it's just okay cool there's this half point uh then if we minus this from uh at this point or even add it depending on how you want to do the calculation and and then you divide it by the 260 or you get you you get the the number uh prior to this you there you go just just shy and then then same thing for this it's just again it's just math simple mathematics back of the envelope mass you might even say actually it is back of the envelope mass I did it on the back of the envelope I had the idea while licking envelopes maybe the fumes got me high who knows I surely don't uh that's what explains and and and still the market's pretty much happy to do nothing at this rate which is interesting you might say hmm what what are you doing uh pretty much nothing uh so I look like it's a consoling bag and that's I mean is it is it troubling that we're consoling back I mean I don't think so it's probably nice to say okay look here's your consolidation and to this point we talked about the sweep back I'm looking at all this thread and this point here I think they're trying to sort of re add back to this and you can just see I probably won't correct the settings sorry I'm just fucking me actually I don't know why oh what the hell did I remove it I am such a div what am I doing with my life 500 let's go change them 250 uh look at marker shop okay give me everything give me everything okay let that load in yeah finally okay okay yes we have numbers on the shop actually now I can now I kind of watch this back uh and then we have numbers on the shop we can start looking at changes in liquidity and then how our people start reacting to things if I want to push this back up to 500 do I want to and I kind of like the 250 or like uh 280 let's just you know what let's just say 250 250 is a decent amount to say uh and control sort of pricing with uh let's go see here I mean okay I mean I added and took took away the bid instantly here it just a lot of people just took away the bids and expecting price to go up and I guess what they should have let that get filled in why and now you wonder okay when we came to this point no one really felt that got the bid filled in so who filled that bid in I can't really do it but yeah you I'm sad and and same here you can you can see the minus and look like they're adding a minus in the bid then and and finally coming back in terms of auditing but generally it just looks it looks positive in terms of saying I'm pretty sad and if there's no sort of rapid sort of changes this entire this sort of person was his decision chosen not to get filled in because I mean I think he ended up getting filled in because there was a change in liquidity it doesn't look like everything got filled but if you got slide in and and you got filled in in this slide but it doesn't really look like it it looks like someone added back into this and just bought it at this point here yeah so if you're moving closer there you go they added it here and they they took away portions here and and looks like the person didn't even get filled it's just just sad to see actually some of this is actually really sad thank you they're just only trying to make some money just give them some money okay let's sort of uh let's sort of move this back and just say okay we only want this many uh because kind of asinine just look at that uh that uh yeah in fact that someone added to a wall here to try support this and got instantly got taken away and I think it's probably the same person looking at better amount so I didn't find these uh how they work with these sort of tracking these better amounts because angles are like super inefficient so not like they are inefficient they are efficient oh my god I seriously uh yeah I need that my brain needs to reset at this point it's just been right since for a really long time so uh I need to find a way to reset that I'm sorry guys yeah it's just it's just uh I don't know what to tell that thing other than I don't really wake up at this time and I'm just waking up and my brain is that it's most befuddled but even in my befuddled stay I'm probably I'm just probably better than you have to be can't help but be achieved now uh and I'm looking at this yeah no what did I do uh I press buttons that I don't know what to do with there you go just went to refresh this so we have Friday on the top and finally it is a natural Friday today I checked I made sure to check that I made sure to look at it and it didn't change on me uh but nevertheless uh I mean as you're excited we've got a bunch of people coming in at nine I mean we've already had those actually come in why haven't refreshed then uh check fix we have we have to do this okay we'll check fix uh 10 o'clock coming in uh probably there's not too much I mean it's 11 just now before midday we have quarterly oh wow uh we have yeah quarterly grain stocks for we have grain green we have corn soy wheat so that's probably a big time for them like I said what was uh a really nice edge trade and all really nice to expect shifts hey why is it like so wow actually I'm okay why the short term young short of volatility or actually just expecting high volatility I mean bear with me why get my bearings okay 30 I mean expecting lower volatility uh next next running quarter from the looks of things uh no it's just it's just a volatility this means people go into this saying okay cool I mean they were going into this uh starting from September moving into October you can see that the opportunities one it's it's slightly low and and they're expecting and it's sort of looking this to run off back down from the looks of things uh so it probably looks like a telling sign that people are offsetting and then looking at this sort of effort uh I think they're definitely potentially looking to come into yeah uh and then sort of and they're already trading that ahead for the forward contract let's see although we can moving into we're moving to in October right yeah you just started October I mean it's just flat out I mean continuous contract this is continuous contract I mean it is it is it is trading efficiently in terms of the fact that they're trading this uh with intention of trading down because again it's it's VIX is just to the hedge okay back to Bitcoin you can see uh I mean if you look at the larger time frame so you can connect our shell popped up comes in we look at I think we love by the second equal or new quarter will start uh on Monday when Monday hit probably can pop this pop this at least uh I mean if not here maybe even back to here and just say whoa markets are down housing a bubble hasn't even burst yet uh yeah that's why you need some renewed interest in the market this is how the market works it's if people lose interest in the market how do you think they make money they don't the thing is the market to make money it has to be in a state where it's constantly perpetuating fear but at the same time adding in uh some lucid like rewards oh yeah yeah you can lose all your money like you can get rich while doing it that's an oxymoron is it not oh yeah you can be rich but you can lose all your money uh we've been going over half hour I don't know where do you run over how long I want to do your region to keep this like I said I'm just tired I probably won't trade today so I mean it's going into a weekend anyway probably give myself like a nap and I don't know man I'm in trouble walking the park and so let's like recap or just cap off what I'm thinking for today and actually or even sort of I mean starting from the high time frame nice little even prop here I mean pushing up coming in I think we probably test this and we'll look a little bullish in terms of if we're looking at a higher time frame we've already sort of coming into pitting that with this sort of move here sort of achieve a nice little consolidation and I think not many people will look at this because they can't see this if they see this they're probably seeing it in the one minute so they're just saying oh okay consolidation this flag goes down goes brr uh want to look for this as a potential support uh full time support exactly oh it's already moving up uh yeah there you go it's already capping up and I think uh first step is probably this uh how rude is it like whilst I'm talking and whilst I'm trying to give you guys what it's trying to do it's already doing it like please okay stop get some help ah stop here the nice I mean look how even that is I mean this if if anyone sees it it's just scary it's not scarier but yeah it is scary like in the sense that okay look at a lot of water like in multi multi-day or multi-session uh sort of period where they just grab that and just said boom I've never watched any of eagle things they're already popping this out it's just annoying uh it's four hours set up I mean it's four hours and 12 I'm not mistaken I know numbers correctly I have a person that knows numbers incorrectly I mean that's an hour actually so all I see now to end on agility would be nice uh we sort of idealize or sort of push it back and sort of have nice sort of uh most of what I'm looking for nice sort of appearance in terms of saying okay cool we swiped it came back down held it and pull it uh but just looking at how even this error is so it was on the hour uh we can definitely put a pull down and ship yeah I need to I just don't I just don't have the mental capacity to do anything with my life other than other than look at the screen and just rock my brain no learning for this guy okay coming to our time frames and we we saw that sort of rapid move up and he's just coming back into consolidation like very much correcting this very aggressively from the looks of things if you see a lot of additions so they might run this under which it'll be interesting if they do but we still have to circumvent or move past this sort of uh come back need a hero there come back this here and hit this in pull back up they think I'm so depressed they say money doesn't buy happiness it just it just unlocks in the world so it just makes you think more because you have more free time this is why I don't like having free time free time is scary for me I'm made to work what is my prime directive work all we do these dots just yeah you see how they're being done and instantly people just selling into it just it just don't like this sort of general area and I want to see which way it breaks begin with what time is it no does someone change the clocks to go backwards without telling me is that is that what they did no they didn't they ain't a 30 what yeah there we go these numbers are correct I don't know man things are just confusing me I think we let up wait for wait for him to go up or down so you know okay cool nice that's so cool okay I either can go up or down thank you guys I think have you thought of the alternative it can go right go up down or right it can't go left though if it goes left the serious problems it might be a nice whip story day and we probably talk I glossed over yesterday but I mean if you look at how yesterday's newsdays was a cycle to me you saw that stop on we saw news that are coming out one again midday came here so people prayed this short midday got killed came in I failed to see that this should be a one o'clock sort of change over because there were a delay because of the news so there was your move instead an hour later at one there I mean you can just spike it down you can just probably close everything off here come back down and just pin it back up but it's just nice little tool work but I mean 10 1 perfect probably 10 11 maybe I mean that just keeps everything's pretty pretty short we're already coming back up okay I need to leave you guys because there's because it is way past my bedtime uh what I was actually gonna say uh no uh it's it's it looks like in really easy skip day for me just because yeah because most people are are selling off and that's why you see most people sell off to reset for the quarter reset for the uh whatever doesn't just expect will be a lot of expires and a lot of things so I think I want to wait for this quarter to settle in and and probably only itself uh most likely I'll probably kick it back on the first or third in terms of when I want to see things uh be activated like it's like charcoal is activated but pretty much just shouldn't I mean it should be like there's some decent sort of trade but I think most of this will be sort of risk very much risk on especially uh because it's mostly uh they're mostly setting up and and if they have a target they want to sell for an idea did not hit that target they'll move heaven and earth until they hit that target so it's kind of just saying okay cool like when the cells reps and and if you ever burn cells like oh when you start rushing for things that at the month end because you don't hit your uh key performance indicators they're just running around like headless chicken just go uh uh i need cells uh sort of like that nice easy to get big uh i'm probably gonna go up or down uh most likely I think I think I want to break this upwards uh uh just long and short now price goes up take tp uh no you probably want to be in a long position then there you go I mean it's already making itself president but I mean watch out uh that some fappiness was coming into that because I mean if you look at looking at this just what I'm saying uh just looking at this sort of general area that's why I'm sort of saying that we already have like a massive sort of spot setting territory hey I was meant to end this uh long at 9200 target 2,800 uh it looks safe I mean had a lot of buying coming in here but this area there we go uh I mean look at that cell and stuff I mean if we had a lot of buys maybe if we if we need to pull out and run these guys out uh doesn't seem too bad I think you probably might expect low actually from that I'm being uh well I'm truly honest you probably expect 1900 even uh if we're coming 9200 then I mean we're hitting this and we're hitting that we're cascading into this uh but that's if we that's an if and statement but generally speaking we might just go up and just break out up on this consolidation if I don't think we do that just because the way they're doing it it just looks like they're fishing for longs and it's just making people go high they're making people go high then they might bring it down so it could be scary yeah uh because what this will end up just being is just trading back to uh the range 50 percent here you go I mean that's 50 percent right now as it stands let me we trade it here despite the high uh we trade back into what daily imbalance we didn't just missed it shy put it back up uh so again probably might expect that so maybe we can cap on and and if it does uh best case just people get long into here and we run it back into a sort of lower price from there because if we go into a lower time frame and you look at that you see that consolidation as sort of a breakout and we see that breakout here uh so people bought that breakout and we can definitely see that come back down so maybe I didn't say long I said in fact the opposite you long this break it broke out it's just one minute scalping you should it's oh yeah just playing that range there you go that one minute range and oh it's retest here and if we retest here maybe look for it to go higher then you can say long I don't know we'll see we'll see if it clears this if it clears this yeah probably sticking along and it's maybe vector even a retest if it starts to come strong like this it'll probably retest and on the opposite side here and then pull out but probably see something like that okay I actually need to go uh because I'll probably I'm cutting into almost cutting into someone else's stream and I don't want to do that so for that to make even worse sense you need to fight that's not even yeah I mean that's easy guess your side isn't I'm not even gonna finish that uh yeah uh again very sort of I mean like we started late ending on a weird time everything's just off today I don't know hopefully I can get things back right uh next week in terms of uh in terms of just like me not being absolutely out of my mind I hope you guys trade safe and I'll see you guys Monday uh bye
