Welcome to the September 15th, the wonderful Wednesday edition of today's Trader's Zed Show. I'm your host, E.B. Perseverance Rhodes, who absolutely knows. It should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope everyone out there is having a great day. Hey, let's make sure we have an extraordinary one. And the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us, not to us. That's right. We need to make that one little two-by-four shift. Well, it means we can find the gift in every set of circumstance that life is going to toss at us. Now, today, you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We'll go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I just passed 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I want you to know I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here, but even more important than that, that's this. During this next 60 minutes, I'm here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone. You can dial on in<PHONE_NUMBER> if you can't dial in. Hey, we've got you covered there, too. Go ahead, send me an email. Send it to Steve at tfn.com. And inside that subject heading, please put radio show question in. And our tiger's den, well, any ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on wonderful. Wednesday, of course, this is Tiger. Financial News Network, I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to less show. Almost all the indices trading to the upside is the semis that are down one point. Dow is up 215, S&P 31, NASDAQ 61, Russell 15. Trannies are up 111. The XAU is up with the gold being back 13 bucks. So that's a positive. Silver is down 10 cents right now, trading out at 2378. Lights recruit big move there. Up $2.08, that's nearly 3% to the upside. Natural gas is up 2.5%. But we did take a look at a potential shooting star candle that if that forms a day, then that's going to identify at least a short-term top inside the natural gas. They just got to come back. We'll come back to that perhaps tomorrow. But what we do want to take a look at is what's going on right now in the short-term. So let's go switch screens here. We'll go to the 30-minute charts. And we're going to see we don't have consistency. But we do have a couple of things to pay attention to. Those couple of things are going to come from the ESMini and the YM. Both of those, as we began the show at 1 o'clock, completed bar number eight of ATD-9 count. That says that there could be a short-term, could be, should be, a short-term top that forms between now 1 o'clock and 2 p.m. Because bar number nine needs to complete, that would be at 130. And then you've got a, you can always form a higher high in the bar following bar number nine and still keep that pattern intact. So when we take a look at the Dow equity future contract, that's your bottom left. You'll notice that little green line at 34, 7, 18. I know it's hard to read, but at 34, 7, 18, that is a TD-9 breakdown level. So we've got a TD-9 count pattern inside the Dow equity future contract that is forming below, potentially forming below the TD-9 breakdown level. We really won't know until we get towards that two o'clock timeframe. But right now, that's what it looks like. That then would suggest, and we can see that the oscillator and change line for the 30-minute timeframe chart. Again, we're just looking at the Dow right now. I'll just expand it out that way, nobody gets confused. What we're looking at, and you can see the bottom that formed here was a nice rogement indicator bottom signal earlier this morning. So, and there's an A to B equal CD. There's a couple of patterns that are out here. There's also another pattern. That's the oscillator and change line, which was read and changed to green as we came into that one o'clock session. Now when that line changes colors, what that tells us is we should see over the coming sessions, it doesn't tell us how many. I wish it did, but over the coming sessions, we should see price and that line catch up to each other. So that becomes the downside price target, but we can't make that call not until two. Now the cool thing about the TD9 count pattern, that would be looking at the downside action. Once the pattern completes, if price closes over that high, which we don't know what that is just yet, but you will be able to track that. If price does close above that high, which would likely also be a close above 34, 718, then that tells us about a strong moment to move to the upside and that gets back in perhaps the 35,000 area out there. So that's the Dow. The ES mini is the other one that has a TD9 count top. We'll expand this out. Similar patterns, so to speak. It's oscillator and change line has also recently changed color. Now it is going to form a TD9 count or is likely to well below its break down level. And that's at 44, 83, 50. So for those of you that are long or short, you've taken a kind of a swing trade out there, I would suggest you watch 44, 83, 50 like a hawk because if price closes above that, that's a signal of a change in trend, at least on the 30 minute timeframe chart out there. So you'll want to watch that. Now as we back down and take a look at all four equity futures contracts, we don't have any kind of signals inside of the NQ. Well, the signals that we do have is that the candle that completed at one o'clock is bullish because price is above the resistance level at the top of that profile. In the case the Russell 2000 has the opportunity, it's gonna need a spike higher and I'll need that spike higher between now and 2 p.m. Actually between now and 2.30 to generate a TD9 count. So it's got potential to form that pattern. It's just that the ES and the YM, the Dow have those patterns there to play and are likely to complete them. We'll get bar number nine in about 18 minutes, unless something holy heck breaks loose out there. Now that's on the 30 minute timeframe charts. Upside price target. So there's another reason. So I mentioned really first that the NQ had come down and tested the top of its new weekly profile that it's attempting to form. There's something else that transpired two days ago, yesterday and today, well, yesterday, we'll end today inside the ES mini, inside the S&P 500, so inside both. So here, let's go take a look at the daily timeframe charts for the equity futures and what I wanted to point out. So you've got a valid TD9 count top, and we've got wave number seven inside the ES mini. Let me just expand this out as well. So remember, when you get any kind of top or bottom, what's really important is understanding where support levels are. And it could be levels, right? Not just necessarily one. The first area of support is always gonna be the oscillator and change line. Well, price enclosed below that, you know, six, seven, eight trading sessions ago. So that then failed. Now what I don't show here are the daily profiles on this chart. And we'd have to go, and we could go look at my black background charts to do that. But really what I wanna point out, the ultimate move to the downside of where are the by the ethene dipsters, they're always at a breakout level. And that breakout level here inside the ES mini is 44.26. And you can see that was tested yesterday and that is held. So if we see the ES mini, take out that resistance level, and that's gonna be that next key, that resistance level that I gave to you was 44.83.50. If that occurs, then the signal for us would be that this rally, we can just call it a counter trend rally at this moment, should take us up to 45.05. And it could do that rather quickly out there. So here's what you need to know. Support is held. In fact, support inside the ES mini is held on a couple of different bases. We'll switch charts here. Give me a moment. Just as we go into the break and we come back to the black background charts and we come back to the ES mini. And here we take a look at it. You can see that daily profile, price closed below it yesterday. That is signaling to us today's action. As we speak right now, 1.14 in the afternoon, that was a false break to the downside. And now it's target is going to be 44.88. So we've got 44.88. And we've got 45.05 as the price targets to the upside. That's assuming the ES can close to 44.83.50. We'll be right back.

Welcome back, folks. So we're going to go take a look at sand. S-A-N-D, we're going to pound sand is what we're going to do, and that is Sandstrom Gold Limited. We're doing that for Mike K and Denny. He wants to take a look at Sandstrom. He wants to take a look at Gold, Silver, the GDX. He's got a laundry list, and we're going to go ahead and go to the laundry with him. So in the case of sand, what we like out here, so we've got our eight panel charts that we're looking at. We like the weekly chart. Why do we like the weekly chart, Mike? Well, because it formed a TD9 count bottom right at TD9 count breakout support of 633. So that's nice. Now, this suggests to us that price should target its oscillator and change line. That's currently printed at 696. That number's going to change as price moves up, down, so on and so forth. If we take, now, it's hard to see, Mike, but at $6.70, that is the top of the weekly profile. So if you can see a close above 670 on a weekly basis, doesn't have to be this week, but if you see a close above 670, that would be a signal of a change in trend. Now, price has got to get above that oscillator and change line. That still becomes a resistance level, and it's red, so you really have to pay attention to it. But right now, everything looks good, but the battle ground is at 670. The daily chart, that's right next to it, that's this one right here, it says day on it, it says one day, is also at a resistance level. So you've got another battle at 661. So 661 is 670, it's lined up with sellers, and if price can overcome that, then you're looking at 683. 683 is the TD9 breakdown level, and if price can close above that, that is a confirmed change in trend signal. As I look at the intraday charts out here, the only thing that pops out at me, Mike, is the 65-minute timeframe, which has a TD9 count top, and price pulled right back to support, which because price was above the top of that profile, that was a level of support, so actually that looks good. So we know that gold is down $12.30, and Sandstrom, not necessarily a gigantic name out here, is looking bullish, and he got to like that. When the mining equities are looking bullish, that's usually a sign that gold is getting ready to follow along. So that's on Sandstrom. You wanted to take a look at the GDX. In the case of the GDX, I'll go ahead and get this here populated.  I got that receding forehead, if you know what I mean. And no, not sand for fracking, but sandstrom mining. But if we take a look at the GDX, what the GDX has is a confirmed rogement and indicator bottom. Now, unfortunately for the GDX, all that that has led to is sideways movement. And in the case of the GDX, it had one day above the top of its barestructured profile. Looked like it was a breakout. This is why Stevie says, you got to see two consecutive days, because what happened the next day? Price got right back inside that profile out here. So we've just seen some sideways movement out there. Not really much additional information for me to report on for you here that I can see. So you just got the consolidation going on that way. You wanted to take a look at Goldilocks and Silver. So let's go use the same kind of set up here. We've got eight panel charts. They're just going to be different time frames. So Stevie uses different intraday time frames for cash type indices because we have six and a half hours versus the intraday time frames that I use for the futures market. Here we take a look at gold. Yesterday was a positive. And that price closed above its oscillator and change line, which is red, 1798. If price can close above that today, two consecutive close above that, would then suggest that gold, even though I don't show it here, then suggest that December gold should make a move up to 1820. 1820 is the top of its profile. As I look at intraday type signals out here, the 30 minute not providing us with anything other than price holding support, the bottom of its bullish structured profile. I don't have anything on the 60. You've got a TD9 count on the 120 minute chart as price pulls back and test support, the top of that profile, 1792. So that's really the only signal that I see out here intraday, Mike. And then I believe you also wanted to look at silvers. Is that correct, SIL? Mike, is there anything else that you need? As long as we're here, just that, and I meant that seriously, because it's hard for me to go back into the tiger's den. If there is something else that you wanted me to look at, please go ahead and list it. Now, keep them coming, hold on a second here. Now, if we take a look at silver, oh, what did I do? Oh, Stevie, what did you do? How did I do that? I did that because apparently I was not paying attention. So let me do this here. Thought I was paying attention, but see, I cannot do two things at once. It's terrible. So I know somebody's saying, well, how do you eat peanut butter and jelly? You can't do two things at once. And that's a great question out there. Eh, I don't eat peanut butter and jelly. That's how I just stay away from it, right? So if we take a look at silver, now we've got the silver charts up on the screen. What do we know about silver? Silver form a nice rogment and indicator bottom. Maybe forming, maybe getting ready to form an A to B equal CD to the upside. And look, Mike, as long as price can stay above Stevie's red line, currently priced at $23.64, I'll still contend that that is a possibility. If you look at the 30-minute chart, you'll like it. Why do you like the 30-minute chart? Because every time price is pulled back today, it's found support, where? At $23.73, it's TD9 breakout support level out there. So that's a beautiful thing. If I look at my other intraday charts out here, nothing really pops out at me to share with you. You've got a nice TD9 count bottom on the weekly chart. So silver has a real chance of just simply signaling to us that it's got a bottom. We may be seeing an A to B equal CD to the upside out there. So I think, and that's always a dangerous thing, I think that I have covered all of the, covered all of the requests out there for my K and the tiger's den. So thanks so much for asking, Mike. Now, I know that many people probably have the same question out there.  Don't do this to me. Go take a look at gold and silver in the mining equities and not take a look at the US dollar index. So for that person, because I heard you through this mic, not through the microphone, but mental telepathy out there. And so let's go take a look at the US dollar index. What do we know? So the US dollar index generates a nice TD9 count bottom. It does what? It's the beauty of the TD9 counts out here. And combined with the oscillator and change line is when you get those two, you know where price is going. A majority of the time, when I say majority of time, I mean a high majority of the time. Well, that's exactly what unfolded here. Price got up there. It's green, which says closes above that would be bullish and price would target 93.50. However, price has been able to do that, which is close above that oscillator and change line. So what does that mean? Not much. It just means that it's got the possibility. It means it can't really break it to the up, break out to the upside out there. So there's a level of resistance that unless you use the oscillator and change line, you wouldn't really know that. But you and I, we do use this. So if you're unable to break it to the upside, maybe it's going to break it to the downside. Well, you start by taking a look at the Euro, which is the upper left-hand panel. So the Euro, the exact opposite for the most part, not the exact, but an opposite of the US dollar index. Whereas the US dollar index forms a TD nine count bottom. Well, the Euro US dollar forms a TD nine count top. And what does it do? It takes price back to its red oscillator and change line. So if price were to close below that, that says it wants lower price, lower price where a buck 16, that would likely send the US dollar index up to the 9350 level. Now you've got five other currencies, four other, but yeah, five other currencies that make up the US dollar index, but really it's the Euro that is the one to look at most. You got the yen moving lower, that is strengthening and weakening the US dollar. The yen is getting stronger and we've got a caller on the line and we like, we've got call it seating. So when we get back to this break, we're going to go out to Brent in California and we're going to take a look at, I think it's AI. So get that up on your charts at home and tell Brent, tell me, where's AI headed to? We'll be right back.

Hey, Steve, how are you? I am doing well. Thanks very much for calling. And artificial intelligence, or I don't know if that's what it is. AI is a ticker symbol that we're going to look at. That was just a wild guess out there. Tell the folks what you're doing and how I can best help you. I guess my question for it today is there wasn't really a particular pattern that we normally look at, like the TD9 count or ABC pattern like that. But what I did notice is that it was going down to test yesterday. Well, there's a lot of couple of days going down to test that gap down day. That goes probably around September 1st with lighter volume. And then today we have a candle that succeeded the low and the high of yesterday's candle. So it's one of your thoughts on that. Maybe you could look at the shorter term charts. Maybe there's something that happened there on a shorter term timeframe as far as accounts that made sense that it made this reversal. I just wanted to get your thoughts on it. Sure, sure, absolutely. So on the daily timeframe, Brent, I actually have this with an A to B equal CD to the downside. If we start with the June 2nd high, move down to the TD9 count bottom on June 17th. And then the retracement in the TD9 breakdown resistance on June 28th as a C point. So we got that bullish engulfing candle on August the 20th. There were a couple of hammer candles before that. So we do have a valid bottoming pattern there. And right now what Price is doing is just consolidating with inside it's a daily profile. So Price, you talked about yesterday, in addition to the areas of support and essence that I was testing on lighter volume and held, it also held, or this morning it held, the bottom of that daily profile. And the bottom of the daily profile is 4788. The actual low this morning is 4784. So just consolidating there, what you'd like to see on the daily timeframe is a close above 5130. If you get that, then we should get back to that prior little doji high that took place on September the 1st out there. And more likely the signal is that this would be moving up and create an A to B equal CD to the upside, by the way. And more likely than not targeting the 6450 level. So before I move off of the daily chart here, do you have any questions about what I shared with you so far? No, not so far, Steve, thank you.  This was a Rojmentum indicator bottom. It was a couple of months ago, weeks ago I should say, I'm sorry, the week of August 27th. So you had a nice bullish candle there, reversal signal. So both the daily and the weekly are suggesting that AI has formed a bottom. Intraday is one of the things that you asked for. So on the intraday charts, it's the 130 and the 65 minute charts that are important to you. The reason is, is that they both have Rojmentum indicator bottoms. They have, those are the bottoms that they have. And price right now is dealing with the resistance of its TD9 breakdown, 4987 for both of them. So if you can get a close on 130 minute timeframe, I know you might ask me, when is that gonna be? That's gonna be at about, not till 310, it looks like this afternoon. But if price did close about 4987, on a short-term basis, you have a real positive outcome. So this is where we would expect sellers to step in. And if buyers are able to overtake them, that would be a message that says, okay, Brett, we're ready to get back to that 5130 level. Any questions about those charts or that information? No, I appreciate it, that's very helpful, Steve. Okay, now also on a 30 minute chart, you did get a nice Rojmentum indicator bottom as well. I'll expand this chart out. As far as its resistance level, Brett, it's all the way up at 5160, which ends up getting back to the top of the daily profile out there. So I would, if that's going to unfold, I would just watch that price level of 4987. If you see close above that, it looks really good for you. Okay, I did have a favor asked here, if you wouldn't mind, you're not going to be right this moment if you get a chance today. What is it? Just to kind of go over, just, you've talked about the seasonality, you know, September being a week month. Yes.  I think it was on the Dow. I just want to get your sense of, are you leaning more towards being a continued week month? It sounds like today maybe you're leaning more towards that could have been a bottom. I just wanted to get you feel for where you think we're possibly going over the next month or so. Sure. So let's do this here first because this one's easy for me. And that is to put up this chart here for the Dow folks. Actually I want to do it for the Dow. Well, it's really the Dow equity future contract that I run this for for the most part. So that's what I'm put up on the screen. It's going to be the continuous contract. And what I want folks to take a look at here is that this is coming off of the March low. So what this tool is doing, this is really my TD9 count tool, but I've just tricked it out a little bit. That's why you'll see multiple numbers here. So I'm looking for how many consecutive closes below the prior close are there. And so that's what this is searching for. The red numbers are what we're paying attention to. I'm only looking at bottoms. And what we can see is on one, two, three, four, five, and now potentially six with this week being the sixth.  I got that information, I got that knee jerk signal information from Marty Armstrong. And his experience has been that things move in two or three bars typically. You know, I just go back to the charts and take a look at the patterns and say, here's the existing pattern. So the Dow equity future contract did have one three week decline. So we're still in this bull market or at least like we are still in this bull market, even though we're in this unfavorable seasonal cycle. Yesterday at about this time Brent, I would have been able to answer your question with conviction. And that was because the Dow equity future contract was attempting to form a new daily profile. That was large and it wrapped around the prior profile. And that message was consolidation. That did not take hold at six o'clock last night.  And right now, as of Wednesday at 1.37, that certainly seems to be the message as well. Any questions about this chart? That's what it seemed like.  Yeah, you know, look, my preference, quite frankly, and this is just my preferences that we see the market decline into the middle of October. Because then that could be just simply a field day for us to the upside. So, and really it would be, ideally it would be the scarier, the better.  But what we do know is what we just did take a look at out here. And that is that two week knee jerk reaction and that is in play as we speak. With regard to the other seasonality stuff during a break, I'll try to pull that up. I'm gonna first go answer some questions that have come in by email, Brent, during the next segment. And if I've got time, I'll definitely pull that up. If not, we'll look at it tomorrow, okay? Okay, thanks so much, Steve. I really appreciate that. I do like that chart. It's had some success with the two week move. But it's had itself a great day. Have a great rest of the week. I'll talk to you soon. Okay, thanks. That's Brent in Martinez, California.

So we've got about six, seven questions in the queue. Let's get right to them. Dan writes in and Dan wants to take a look at POWW. The question is, is it completing a TD9 account? Do you think that today is a good day to start a position? So today is going to become bar number nine. Price is below the TAS market profiles out here. So it does have breakout support at $5.95. When I start that position now, I'd have to see on a 30 minute timeframe, a valid bottom and price close above a key resistance level, Dan, that's 647. So we don't have that at this stage of the game. So my answer to your question is no, let's wait till tomorrow. Let's let the bar following bar number nine take place. Maybe we get even a new profile tomorrow. That's what you ideally like to see. And certainly on the short-term timeframes, you want to see some bottom signals and some key levels of resistance taken out. And that is not what we see when we take a look at those intraday charts. So sit tight on POWW for the next day and remind me about it tomorrow. We'll take a look at it for you then. Thanks so much for Dan in New York City for taking the time to write in. And you have a wonderful Wednesday as well. Next question coming in from Joe. Joe says, do you see till rate near the bottom today in the $12 range? Let's pull over till rate. See what kind of chart patterns we have out here for Dan, Joe. And Joe, price is moving lower and doing it with less relative energy. Today is going to become bar number seven. It looks like a TD9 count. So all you really need to form a bottom is a bullish reversal candle. That would then confirm the rogment to indicator signal. And you'd like to see a close above that red line. That's at $12.27. We're not there just yet. Watch for that going into the day. If not, continue to be patient. Maybe we get both a TD9 count and a rogment to indicator bottom. That's coming off of the daily timeframe. Quickly look at the weekly. I don't have anything. The weekly says, yeah, be patient and wait out here because price is bull. It just says be patient. Back to the daily. Let's take a look at this maybe on Friday. On Friday's show, by the way, folks, I'm going to do between eight and nine in the morning, which will be replayed at one to two. So until rate, just hold off for a bit. Unless you get a bullish reversal candle at days in. Joe, so thanks so much for writing in. Hector and the fuel injectors want to take a look at the XLE. And I'm moving through these kind of quickly here, folks. I just want to make sure I get to everybody's request that has come in. And if you've got other questions, just write back to me. Be happy to take care of them. So Hector is the XLE is employing the same shenanigans as the GDX gets excited, like it's going to break and then moves lower. Well, actually, in the case of the XLE, I'm going to have to go to my other charts here. This could be complete. This could be forming an A to B equal CD to the upside. It's already taken out the B point, or it looks like it's going to. What I'm curious about is the volume on the XLE. So let's go take a look at that. XLE, this is for Hector and the fuel injectors. And the swing point, come on, the swing point is a trading day of August 30th, 15 million. Oh, you have a confirmed A to B equal CD. You love the A to B equal CD pattern Hector. So here it is. So the A point out here is going to be down at the August 19th low. The B point is the high from August 30th. And the C point is the low from August 9th. One to one gets you to 51, 68, only a 56% retracement. So it could easily be targeting 52 to 54 out there. Those are other price projections on that C to D leg. But no, you've got a price above a slightly bearish structured daily profile. So you do need two consecutive closes here Hector, but this actually is giving us a breakout signal. Yeah, that is the XLE. So it is going to explode to the moon. By the way, the moon is parked right now at 51, 68. That's the space, right? You go to the airport, you got to figure out what space you're in out there. And that's the space. Nancy writes in, she wants to take a look at Apple. Nancy is an Apple trader out here. So let's go take a look at this for Nancy. Nancy says, can you tell if it has made a bottom? If not, where's it likely to go from here? Excellent question. So let's go take a look at the daily timeframe. Do we have a bottom signal? The answer is we do not. I don't have anything on the daily basis. Price is below the profiles. This is telling us that Apple could make a run back to its breakout level, Nancy. That's at 137.75. Now that's the daily timeframe. The 30 minute timeframe out here formed a bottom. So we're seeing about this form, both a TD9 count and a Rosemont communicator and a wave number seven. You got a three fir. So what does this tell us? Well, price is back inside the 30 minute profile and its next price target is going to be the top of that profile. And that's at 149.34. So it depends whether you're intraday trading. You know, if you're asking me, what's the signal right now in an intraday on a 30 minute chart, you're getting it. 149.34 is where price should head to. Doesn't have to stop there. What price could also do, excuse me, on a 30 minute chart is move up to its breakdown level. Not its nervous breakdown, but it's TD9 count breakdown. That's at 150.38. If price closes above that, that signals a move to the 155.40 level out here. Short-term 10 minute chart, you've got the bottom signal here as well. That says that price on a 10 minute is going to go target. That's wink point high. You know, about the one, whoops, where was it? One, 149.09 or so. On this side of charts out here, Nancy, I've just got the daily 10 and 30. But on the daily basis, do I have a bottom? I don't. Could it have bottom? Absolutely. Why could it have bottom? Well, could have bottom because price came back to a trend line. So I don't have a bottom pattern, which I think is what you were asking. If I take, like I just put up this chart right here on my screen, here's Apple, and you can run the same trend line too here. So you can see that, and I'm just just a short-term trend line coming off of the July 19th low, the low from July 28th, which matches the low of August 19th. And voila, what do we see here? You see that Apple has hit that trend line. So the trend line is held. So what that tells us again, Nancy, is watch that 30 minute chart out there. That 30 minute chart will reveal all the information you need. And that is, can price take out 150.38? If it does that, then we should see a further rally in Apple and that could take up to the 155 level. So I hope that helps you out. Thanks so much for writing it. And Mike S writes in, and Mike says, Steve, can we go over resistance levels for LAC? And we can, and we will, and we'll get there here momentarily. So LAC is Lithium Americas. There is no resistance. That's a trick. Mike is writing in, this is Mike in Ecuador. I love it. A trick question. Mike, prices above all resistance levels when it comes to its task market profiles. That was 22.95. That price closed above yesterday at the top of the daily. You've got follow-through today. So this looks good. If you're asking me, where is price headed to? Very likely back to its swing point high from January in 2021. And that's in the 28.70 level. We'll pull over my other chart to see if there's any other signals here that you've got to be concerned with. And on the daily timeframe, the answer is no. That looks good. On a weekly basis, as I populate this week, this could be bar number eight of a TD9 count, but maybe, you know, it doesn't form a TD9 count until it gets all the way back there. And that says next week or the week after. So hey, it is above all resistance. And I'm guessing that you are in that trade. So best of luck to you. Mike and Sara Sota, for your information, the Russell 2000 closed at 2 p.m. above 22, the RTY. So let me go back to those. Let me just actually go, no, I don't want to do. Yeah, let me go to the Russell 2000 charts out here. And let me change screens. We'll get to our eight panel out here and just go take a look at the charts and see what signals or information they're providing us. But in the case of the Russell 2000, I see what, so what Mike is sharing with us, thanks Mike, is that price is closed above the top of the 30 minute profile. So it is still above a resistance level. Perfect. It is also still forming bar number nine. So, and that's bar number nine is gonna complete in 10 minutes, but it could be the bar following bar number nine. So it's gonna be the high of either this current session or the session between two and 230. And that's the significant tie to watch because if price closes above that, that tells you about a significant move to the upside. In the Russell, that's about 2250 or so. We'll be right back.

Well, that worked out good. We got through everybody's questions out here. That leaves us with some time to go back and answer and take a look at the seasonal cycle for Brent. And here is the 86-year annual seasonal cycle. We're in that unfavorable period, which typically is between the end of July and the middle of October. And we can take a look at this another way. We can take a look at this chart here, which describes the odds of whatever month you're looking at, the odds of closing above the prior month. Just simply close versus close. You can see here in September, that is the weakest month of the year, the odds of September closing above October is about 37%. But here's the beauty of it, okay? And the reason why we really, why I'm saying, I'd like to see the markets move lower into October, because look at the takeoff from there, you know? I mean, October chances of closing above September are in the almost 59% range. You get up towards 70 in November and December you're above 70% out there. So that would be the ideal type of setup. Now, for those of you that might be short the NASDAQ 100, I'm going to just share with you this tool here. This is our TAS market breadth, TAS market breadth tool, which takes a look at four different time frames, weekly, daily, 240 and 60. You're looking at the upper right-hand corner. They are all right now in bullish mode. They are in bullish mode out there. Let's take a look for those of you that are short the S&P 500. The S&P 500 is slightly different. Bullish mode with regard to everything, except for the daily timeframe right now. On a daily basis out here, you have 98 instruments above the top of their profiles and 237 below, I'm sorry, 160 below the bottom. So if we go take a look at the NQ here real quickly, we'll go to its last eight charts out here. And what does this tell us? Well, what this tells us is, remember, it's the ES and the YM that have got those TD9 count tops, not the NQ or the Russell 2000. 30-minute chart here says I want to get back to about the 15-5-20 level out here. 15-6-16 is not out of the question. That's a daily asset or a change line out there. So that's all we've got here, folks. Thanks so much for joining us. Stay tuned. Two more great hours. Tom O'Brien will take us on home. David Weitz up next with the power trading hour. And I'll be back here tomorrow on terrific Thursday. Have a wonderful Wednesday, folks. Building wealth trading in the stock market seems impossible.


I think back in St. Lucia in 2009 he placed fourth in the 100. Second semifinal coming up in the under 20 girls 100 meters. Jordan Thomas of the British Virgin Island. Chattalia Dorsett of Bahamas. Sabrina Dockry of Jamaica goes in four. Tamara Dorival of Haiti in five. Alexi Henry of Trinidad and Tobago in six. Alia Fenoukia of Guadalupe in seven. And Marie Miriam Duranti of Martini goes in lane eight. Chattalia Dorsett of the Bahamas. Fifth in the under 20 final last year. But let's go from lane two. That's Jordan Thomas of the British Virgin Islands. There is Dorsett. Fifth place. Finish her last year. Wants to improve on that. Sabrina Dockry. Brilliant at 100, 200 and 400 has come down to the 100 this season. Also saw Dorival of Haiti. Alexi Henry, bronze medalist in the under 17 category last year for Trinidad and Tobago. Fenoukia of Guadalupe and Duranti of Martini. So good to see Haiti here with all of what's been going on in their country. Sending our best wishes to the people of Haiti. Dockry of Jamaica started as a quarter-mile short, tremendous potential at 200 meters. And this season she's come down to the 100 and gone as fast as 11.33. Has had some issues with full starts though over the last two seasons including in the Carrefter on the 20 final last year where she full started off. They go pretty set in the blocks there. Sabrina Dockry got away to a brilliant start. Dorsett of the Bahamas also running well on her inside. Henry of Trinidad and Tobago coming through. But that's a brilliant run from the Jamaican. Sabrina Dockry looking in formidable form. She looks business-like as she qualifies for the 100 final. Led Tianali Terralong for a long way at the Jamaican High School Championships. And here comes to qualifying efficiently at 11.52. This girl does not know how to run slowly. Yeah, it was like a bullet from a gun was Dockry. Finerun took care of business, comes up and into her running and away from the field. Pulls away very efficiently from Dorsett. Comes through big arm swing from her as she comes over the line. Under 17 silver medalist at 200 meters behind the Deja Hage in Kingston through to the 100 final. Negative 1.9, 11.52. Dorsett 11.95. Alexi Henry of Trinidad and Tobago 12.04. That puts her on the bubble. No one else from that semifinal race will have a chance of getting into the final. So 11.99 for Doresca of Haiti and 12.04 for Henry of Trinidad and Tobago. Those are the athletes and their times on the bubble at this stage with one semifinal race to come in the under 20 girls 100 meters.

Hello from the National Archives' Public Programs and Education staff. My name is Sarah Lyons Davis and I'm an education specialist at the National Archives. Welcome to the National Archives Comes Alive Young Learners Program. Today, we meet Ulysses S. Grant, portrayed by reenactor and storyteller Kurt Fields. Ulysses S. Grant was the 18th President of the United States. After graduating West Point Military Academy, Grant served in the Mexican-American War and later the U.S. Civil War for the Union. He rose through the ranks after a significant win at the Battle of Vicksburg. Known for excellent horsemanship, dogged determination, and strategic maneuvering, he was eventually appointed as Commander of the Union Army, 1864-1865. His military accomplishments led to his nomination in two presidential terms. The National Archives has many records related to Ulysses S. Grant. They can be found on National Archives' online catalog and in our education-specific resource, docsteach at docsteach.org. Here, we have a map of the Siege of Vicksburg, Mississippi, where the Northern U.S. forces were under the command of Major General U.S. Grant. Today, this battlefield is known as Vicksburg National Military Park and open to the public as part of the work of the National Park Service. In this activity in docsteach, you can see a message from President Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln wrote his nomination for Ulysses S. Grant to be the Lieutenant General of the Army on February 29, 1864. Congress had recently authorized this rank, a rank held previously only by George Washington. And a final image I want to share with you today is that of a photograph of Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant.  This is from circa June 1864 during the Civil War. Our programs are brought to you from the National Archives' public programs and education team and the National Archives Foundation. You can find information for teacher and student programs on the National Archives website, archives.gov, under Archives News, upcoming events, and if you follow the National Archives on social media. And let us now give a warm welcome to Ulysses S. Grant. Good morning. I am delighted to be here and to have an opportunity to talk with you and tell you who I am. Because many people have heard my name, General Ulysses S. Grant, or some folks like to tease a bit and call me unconditional surrender grant. But a lot of folks are curious about who I am, where I come from, what kind of a life have I had. And it is such a joy to be able to stand a few minutes with you and tell you some of those things about myself. I was born in Point Pleasant, Ohio, right on the banks of the Ohio River in 1822. When I was less than a year old, my parents moved about 10 miles away to Georgetown, Ohio. And that's where I grew up and lived there until I was 17 and left for the United States Military Academy. But things about me as a child, I'm the first born. Now I've got five brothers and sisters. And I'm the oldest, the first of six. I have two brothers, Orville and Simpson, and I've got three sisters, Virginia, Mary, Francis, and Claire. Also, I was a small child. I was known to be a very strong muscular, but I was a small child. I am now five feet eight inches tall. So when I grew to full adulthood, I'm still not a tall person.  I was also considered to be a very quiet child because even as a little fellow, I always felt if you don't have anything to say, don't say it. So I was actually considered to be a little slow because I never talk much. I didn't feel like talking unless I did indeed have something to say.  I never, I never saw any profit in using profanity.  I feel them to be a waste of time and to pollute the air. In fact, during the war, there was one occasion that an officer in my gathering of officers in my tent said, there are no ladies present, so I've got a job. And I said, but there are gentlemen present. And that was the end of that matter. So I've never uttered a curse word. As I grew up, I began going to school when I was five years old there at the Dutch Hill School, which is still there in Georgetown, Ohio, a brick one room schoolhouse, and indeed the home that I grew up in is still there and may be visited in Georgetown, Ohio. And Georgetown is about 40 or 45 miles southeast of Cincinnati. So you have an idea of where I grew up. I really enjoyed school. But I found out two things about myself early on. I love math. I love arithmetic. It came to me very easily and it just made sense to me, still does. And I also found out that I have quite the hand. I'm an artist and I could draw horses particularly well. One occasion in school, Mr. White, our schoolmaster, was having me clean up my slate board and my notebook and rework it. And a fellow rode a horse past the schoolhouse and my desk was next to the window and I got distracted looking out the window and was drawing the man on the horse until I realized Mr. White was standing next to me and he took my picture away. But my friends said I could draw such a horse. It looked like he could walk off the page. So I love math and I love to draw when I was an artist. I did fairly well in school. My father got an appointment for me to the United States Military Academy. And I didn't really want to go. The military life held no chance for me. But my father wanted me to have an engineering degree since I was good in math. And the country was exploding with immigration and the westward movement. So father thought an engineer would always be able to make a living, a good living. And West Point, the United States Military Academy, was the only college in America that gave an engineering degree at that time and it was free. And my father really liked it being free. And even though I didn't really want to go, father sent me and I was accepted. I graduated 21st out of the class of 39. We had small classes. So I was right about in the middle. But I am still recognized as being the greatest horseman to ever go to the United States Military Academy. And I sit jumping records while they're at the academy. In fact, during our graduation exercises, I was on a horse named York and jumped over a six foot stanchion. And they still have that pole I'm told in the archives at the United States Military Academy. I was graduated and within a year or so found myself involved in the Mexican war. And for the next four years from 1844 through 1848, we were involved in the Mexican war. I was in every battle in the Mexican war except one. I missed the Battle of Buena Vista, but I was promoted twice for bravery under fire. And after the war in 1848, I came back to St. Louis and I married my sweetheart Julia Dent.  Julia and I had four children. We had Fred, our oldest, and then Buck, Ulyssesie Jr. And he's named Buck because he's the only one of our children that was born in Ohio, the Buckeye State. So his nickname is Buck. And then we had Nellie, who was born on the 4th of July. And then we had Jesse. So we have four children that have been a great joy to us through my life in the military and my life with my wonderful wife, Julia. When the war started, the Civil War, I was able to secure a commission as a colonel of volunteers of the 21st Illinois, which is a unit that I understand is still in existence. And I quickly, within seven weeks, was appointed by President Lincoln to be a Brigadier-General. That's one star in command of about four or five thousand men. It's a French word, Brigadier for Brigade, and a brigade is about four thousand soldiers. It's your lowest level of general officer. And then in February of 1862, I was able to, with the Army under my command, I was privileged to command some fine soldiers. And they were able to take Fort Donaldson in Northwestern Tennessee, and we were able to take, therefore, control of the Tennessee and the Cumberland rivers. And after that, Nashville, the first capital, Confederate capital to fall, was taken by federal forces under my command. And then in July of 1863, I took Vicksburg, it surrendered. So by that time, I've got two complete armies that have surrendered. One at Fort Donaldson under General Buckner, and then the second one at Vicksburg under General Pemberton. And I was sent to Chattanooga and helped General Roscrans Army get out of a very tight spot there in the mountains in Chattanooga, Tennessee. And at that time, President Lincoln decided that he wanted me to be the commanding officer for all federal forces. So on March the 8th, it was approved, as you were told earlier, on February 29th, which is a leap year, of course. And then on March the 8th, I went to Washington City, met the president, and on March the 9th of 1864, I was made a Lieutenant General as three stars. And I'm the first one since George Washington. For the last year of the war, I was engaged with General Robert E. Lee. I was there with the Army of the Potomac. I was not the commander of the Army of the Potomac, I was the general in chief. I had command of all the armies in the United States from Washington DC to Galveston, Texas. But I traveled, my headquarters was in the field with the Army of the Potomac. And after 11 months, Siege at Petersburg, Virginia, General Lee on March the 2nd broke away from there and began retreating across Virginia, westward. And on April the 9th, after seven days and 100 miles, the Army of the Potomac was able to bring Lee to bay, and he surrendered on April the 9th of 1865. So I'm the only general in American history that's had three complete armies surrender to him. And after the war, about a year after the war in 1866, Congress created the rank of General of the Army, and I became the first General of the Army with four stars. For years, I was a General of the Army and was in command of all military activities. And then in November of 1868, I was elected the President of the United States as a Republican, the second Republican after President Lincoln to be elected president. And on March the 4th, 1869, I will take the oath of office as the 18th president of the United States. Wow, thank you so much. That was such wonderful information. I learned so much from what you shared. I'm sure our audience did as well. I'd love to ask you some questions in addition to the information that you just shared. Certainly, ask me what you will. Thank you. So I know we have a lot of school children who join us for these programs. What was your experience like going to school? Did you enjoy it? I really enjoyed going to school. It was a delight to go to school. I had, as I said earlier, I was introduced to arithmetic early on at the age of five. And it always appealed to me. It came to me easily. As I said, it just made sense. And I learned also that I could draw. I had, as my school children would say, quite a hand. School was a pleasure. I never worked as hard as I should have, which I regret, but I always enjoyed school. That's great. Thank you. And I know you mentioned being an artist also. Did you have a favorite subject while you were in school? Horses. Absolutely. Horses. I love horses. Anything to do with horses. If I may tell you, when I was a tot about three years old, I was swinging on the tail of a horse in the yard at my father's tannery. Father had a business and it was always full of horses. And I loved to swing on the tails of those huge, drey animals, those big horses that would pull such heavy loads. And I was a small child and I was able to jump up and grab a horse's tail and swing back and forth. One of my mother's friends saw me doing that once and bolted into the house, calling Hannah, Hannah, my mother's name. Liz, it's my family call me Liz. Liz is out there swinging on the tail of a horse. The horse is going to kick him. He's going to kill him. And the story goes that my mother never even looked up at what she did. She was wiping it. She said, oh, he'll be all right. The horses just seem to understand Liz and he understands horses. And that was the end of the matter and I was never ever kicked or injured by a horse. Love horses, love to draw horses. One of my friends said it looked, I do such a fine horse. It looked like the horse could walk off the page. Hmm, wonderful. And if you could, would you tell us about your greatest victory in the Civil War? Questionably, my greatest victory was Vicksburg, Mississippi. And it briefly because Vicksburg is right on the Mississippi River. And in the middle of the Mississippi River from its mouth up in Minnesota, all the way down to the source and to the mouth in New Orleans, Louisiana. It divides pretty much the eastern third of the United States and the western two thirds. All of the commerce, all of the business that came out of the Midwestern states and even into New England flowed down the Mississippi to New Orleans to be shipped out to South America and to Europe. It was a the main artery for business in America, as well as travel people going south to it could then go to St. Louis and further south and go west into immigration. When the war started, we had to have control of that river. And as long as the Confederates had control of it as far north as Vicksburg, there was no commerce that I mentioned there. There was no movement. We had to have that river because if I may, the rivers were the interstate highways of my day during the war. And we went to Vicksburg. We tried seven or eight different ways to get in. I finally was able to get across the river lay siege. We pressed Vicksburg against the river. It's right on the river banks, but we pressed General Pemberton's army against the river and after a 47 day siege. Pemberton surrendered to me on the 4th of July of 1863. When Vicksburg fell, the Confederacy was split asunder. It was split in half and like an earthquake sheared it off for the Confederacy. And it was a devastating blow from which they did not recover. When they couldn't get to the supplies and food, hundreds of thousands of heads of hogs for pork, tens of thousands of head of cattle for beef, and all the leather goods made from the cattle, and thousands and thousands of potential recruits that were across the Mississippi River in what we call the Trans-Mississippi Theater War. It was a devastating blow. It did the most for the Union cause to bring the country back together of any other battle of which I participated or indeed I feel of any other battle in the war. So my greatest victory was unquestionably Vicksburg. It sounds like an incredibly consequential victory as you describe it and so many decisions I'm sure went into your involvement with it. Are there any decisions you regret that you made during the war? I have two decisions that I regret. One involves Vicksburg when we were able to get across the Mississippi River south of Vicksburg and I moved the Federal Army across the river and got on the same side as the enemy, Pemberton and the Confederates there. We were able to push them back into their lines at Vicksburg. They had already dug tremendous heavily fortified lines and fortress fortifications. And we attacked them on the 19th of May, making 63 and we were not successful. Three days later on May 22 of 1863 we tried again and I thought perhaps we could overcome them and push them back into a surrender and it was not successful. It was a very bloody assault and repulse and we did not gain any benefit anywhere near to compensate the losses of life that occurred in that second assault. I regret that and in your earlier in your opening description you referred to a photograph of me near Cold Harbor in June of 1864 and in fact that photograph was taken on I think June the fourth or fifth. I didn't want to take that picture. I had declined to have the photograph made, but my staff and the photographer pressed me and I said alright alright and I put on the coat that I was wearing in the photograph as it turned out it I think that is the most famous picture of me ever taken. And it's one I didn't want to take. But that's right after June the third when we assaulted General Lee's lines there at Cold Harbor Virginia. And I, again, I thought that we could have a massive assault of our troops had many thousands of troops attack the fortifications and entrenchments but for us that the Confederates had and it was not successful. It was repulsed and again I felt I regret having made that decision because we gain no benefit to compensate for the loss of life so the assault at Vicksburg and the assault at Cold Harbor are two decisions that I regret having made. I understand that. That sounds like they're really monumental decisions at the time. And we also have a question I know you must have encountered so many interesting and notable people during your time. Commanding the army. Did you ever meet Clara Barton during the war. Yes, but only glancing Lee I don't recall the circumstances but like everyone else I more knew who she was and what she was doing. She was a very, very important woman and what she did has resulted in some tremendous work to provide aid and help in crises, not just for the military, but for civilians as well. But our past did cross yes. Another question that we have. How did you treat General Lee at the surrender at Appomattox. I treated General Lee very well indeed. In fact, I wrote about that meeting in my memoirs. And I said as I was sitting there in the parlor of the Wilmer McLean House and Appomattox Courthouse Virginia. I want to make it clear we weren't sitting in a courthouse that's the name of the village. And it was a county court there and in Virginia and I think maybe in other places. They call the village the courthouse so after that is courthouse is the name of the village. And we met in the parlor of a local farmer Wilmer McLean. I was in the room with General Lee and I'd like to point out it's the only time that the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac and the Army of Northern Virginia were both in the same place at the same time. But I was watching General Lee as he wrote the terms of surrender that I had given him which were very generous indeed. And I couldn't tell his emotions generally is is he's called the marble man. He shows very little to no emotion. And I couldn't tell if he was saddened because they had lost the war. Or if he was relieved because the war was over at last. I could not tell. When I got the news that morning that he wanted to surrender I was exultant I was over overwhelmed with joy it's over. But at the meeting with General Lee, I was anything but exultant as I said, I wrote about later. I was melancholy I was sad for General Lee because even though the cause for which he fought was the worst that I had I think a country ever went to war to fight. He had lost the war he had fought for cause he believed in and I was sad because of the pain he was expressing or feeling at the surrender. So, I gave him very generous terms, kind terms which President Lincoln applauded and approved of and Congress approved. Because I wanted the healing to begin right there in the parlor of the McLean House. I wanted the country to come back together, and we needed to heal the scars and the wounds. And by being generous and kind to bring the war to an end was the best way to heal those wounds and bring the country back together so I was kind to General Lee. And I was pleased to do so General President Lincoln had said to me the week before the last time I saw the president before I left to join the army to pursue Lee. President Lincoln has said let him up easy general. When you get to Lee and he surrenders, let him up easy. And that is exactly what I did. I mentioned President Lincoln. What was your relationship like with President Lincoln? Did you like him? I like President Lincoln very much indeed. I really liked him. He's a tall gangly man. He's awkward. He's so tall and rail thin. His clothes never fit him very well. He's one of those folks and he laughed and would tell me one of those folks that no matter what he wears he doesn't look good. He doesn't look like it doesn't fit. And he's got a real high voice. I've never imitated him, marked him in his presence, but he's got a real high voice and he doesn't like to make speeches. But he's a good storyteller. He's a good joke teller. He's a good, good man. And by the time I met him on March the 8th of 1864, and we were able to talk at length and private. He astonished me because he said, General, I've been trying to run the military for three years and frankly I've made a mess of it. And I think it's time to hand over the control of the armies and the direction of the armies to someone who knows what he's doing. And that's you. And in fact, and I was really astonished when he went on to say, I don't want to know what you're doing. Don't tell me what you're doing. I might blab it. And he can't, he can't keep a secret. I can't keep a secret. And I might, if I know what you're doing with the army, what your plans are, I might tell somebody, of course he gets into the Confederate newspapers too. And he said, so don't tell me what you're doing. A president of the United States told his general in chief, don't tell me what you're doing. I don't even want to know. He was deeply, deeply grieved and saddened by all the loss of life in the war. And the burden on him was incredible and I would think unbearable. He was, he was melancholy to this melancholy is a deep sadness.  He's a good man, good hearted man, extremely intelligent, great sense of humor. And we got along famously really enjoyed the two few times that I had to. I was able to spend with President Lincoln. Well, thank you. And we have a final question for you for today. What advice do you, as Ulysses S. Grant have for young people today? Read, read, and read some more. Read everything that can't outrun you. Grab those books and read them. Read about everything. Hopefully you'll read about me and the war. But read, read, read, and read. Did I say read? Read some more. Read about everything. Because if you read, you can succeed. A person who is well read, who's read everything they can, you stretch your mind out. And once you stretch out that mind, it never goes back to its original shape. Read. The one thing that I would heavily emphasize, and I believe I have, is read. That's the advice that I give to all young people and adults to read and read everything. Well, thank you. That is certainly wonderful advice. And thank you so much for your time with us today. I know I have learned so much and you shared such wonderful stories. I really appreciate your taking the time to speak with us and answer our questions. It has been a joy. Thank you. Thank you. And now let's take one last look at the Docs Teach Educational Activity related to President Lincoln's nomination of General Grant as Lieutenant General of the Union Army. Again, with this activity for today's program, that's on docsteach.org. Well, thank you all for joining us. I hope you can join next month for our Young Learners Program with American Aviator Bessie Coleman. Thanks for participating in our program today.


You are watching News Made Easy, I am Anandji Chakravarty and today I am going to talk about the Taliban. Who are they? Well, we really don't know who the Taliban are right now because remember the Taliban first came into international limelight sometime in the mid 90s from 94 to 96 is their peak period and after that in 2001 when the American so-called war on terror started the Taliban was beaten out, beaten back moved out of Kabul, thrown out of most part of Afghanistan, continued to run guerrilla campaigns against Americans and the Afghan National Army and many of them went into hiding in Pakistan. There was a Pakistani part of the Taliban which also emerged called the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan and there was, most of it was outside Afghanistan and parts of southern Afghanistan. But who are they now? It's been 20 years, we don't know what actually emerged. There has been very little available data, much, they must have been studied by experts, they must have been studied by you know secret services of various countries especially of this region but very little is known about the real figures of the Taliban. Let's start with what the Taliban was in the early 90s. The Taliban actually is often mistaken to have emerged out of the anti-Soviet-Mujahideen war, the war of which is called the so-called war of liberation of Afghanistan which forced the Soviet Army to withdraw in 1989 after 10 years of occupation of sorts. It is assumed that they emerged out of that. They did not. They had nothing to do with it. As Ahmad Rashid shows us in this classic book which you should try and get hold of, he shows us and explains that most of the Taliban's core fighters in the 90s actually grew up in Pakistan. They grew up in refugee camps. Many of them were Afghans who had been sent to, who had escaped from Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation. And they grew up in Pakistani refugee camps. They were taught in madrassas often run by a semi-literate clerics and all that they learnt was the Quran and a very, very extreme form of the Sharia and a very extreme form of Islam. That is what they learnt. They had, as Ahmad Rashid points out, many of them had never seen or interacted with women. They were Afghans who grew up in all male dominated madrassas in camps where they only saw men and they only saw fighters and they only saw clerics. They only saw certain kind of austere living and they had a general distrust and a fear of women. And which we, which as Ahmad Rashid and others have argued, probably resulted in this extreme anti-women form of Islam which they tried to establish in their Islamic Emirate which they established once they took over Kabul in 1996. And the most important part of this is that large parts of Afghanistan believe that these are Pakistanis. Many of them were actually Pakistanis. They were not even Afghans. They were Urdu speaking Pakistanis who had joined the Taliban and were part of the fighting force of the Taliban. In fact, in several cases in one of the famous battles with the Hazaras in the north many of those who were killed were Pakistani citizens. They were part of, they were people who had nothing to do with Afghanistan. So they were either born and brought up or trained in Pakistan or they were Pakistanis directly. So this was the original Taliban which established an absolutely rigid, uncompromising form of Islamic state in Afghanistan which lasted for about 5 years till 2001 when they were ousted and it all happened because of 9-11. Then the America so called war on terror started when the Taliban basically abandoned Kabul and left and their supreme leader Murla Omar went into hiding, died later and the baton passed on to others who continued a sort of guerrilla warfare often against the Pakistani army in Pakistani Pashtun areas along the northwestern frontier provinces of Pakistan where there was a Pakistani version of the Tehrik-e-Taliban which came out. Now the point is that it's been 20 years now. We really do not know what the Taliban is like, who controls them. One thing is clear that when the Taliban came into existence and gained power it was entirely driven by the Pakistani army and government. Originally by Benazir Bhutto and then the ISI increasingly when it found that the Taliban is their best bet to control Afghanistan especially the land routes to take export to move goods into Central Asia. That is when they backed Taliban over their previous favourites including Gulbuddin Hekmatya who was a Mujahideen leader of one time. Now when the Taliban took over only 3 countries recognized them and one of them on Pakistan's urging which is Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and the UAE. The US was accused of continuing clandestine support to the Taliban and there have been various books that have been written about how the Clinton administration was soft on the Taliban till there were these attacks, these terror attacks done by the Al-Qaeda and Taliban had given shelter to Osama bin Laden. That's when the tide turned. But even at during visits by the US Secretary of State in the late 90s to Pakistan they made a very clear anti-Taliban statement. But when George W. Bush came to power in 2000, even in 2001, Taliban's then so-called spokesperson and Foreign Minister Mukhtar Vakil actually did go to the US and meet people and there were attempts to kind of build some kind of a bridge by the petroleum company Unocal with the Taliban to ease their operations and to be able to put natural gas pipelines in Afghanistan. But the Taliban were ousted, they became guerrillas. So we really don't know what the Taliban is like right now. We know in the past the Taliban was an anti-women force. It was an extremely backward looking anti-modern force. It had banned television, radio, photography. Radio was allowed only for but no music was allowed. Men had to wear beards of a certain length. Women could not go out without unless they were accompanied by their blood relatives.  In fact, when they took over Kabul in 1996, the Taliban forced people to blacken their windows so that even sunlight so that people couldn't look inside and see women. So women spent time inside homes without even sunlight reaching them. And remember this is, we forget that Afghanistan had a democratic period, significant democratic period till about 1989 when women took up important posts. They went to school, got educated. They wore what they wanted to wear. They could do what they wanted to do. Yes, there were restrictions like any other country, patriarchal country, like any other in the world but they had a significant degree of freedom which was taken away gradually as the Mujahideen took over first and then as the Taliban came in, it was completely stopped. There was a certain degree of freedom that was restored. Once the new Afghan government came, the Americans took over and the new Afghan government came into existence after that. Certain degree of, at least on paper but in villages it is well known that that did not exist. Now the point is that the Taliban right now, the person who heads it right now or is the face of Taliban is also another person who was a co-founder of the Taliban, Abdul Ghani Baradar. Abdul Ghani Baradar was incarcerated in Pakistan for several years, apparently because he tried to open a kind of way to speak to Hamid Karzai's government, the American backed government in Afghanistan. He wanted to open negotiations. He was incarcerated. A lot of people say that he is more or less controlled by Pakistan's ISI and the army. We'll have to wait and see how that is. It is clear that the Taliban right now is trying to recreate a new image. This is a group which had first smashed TV sets and said that you can't even take photographs. They are happy to appear on camera and are distributing it. There are even Taliban reporters talking about how everyone is so happy that the Taliban has entered Kabul. You can see footage of them taking over, supposedly peacefully entering the presidential palace in Kabul. So clearly they have understood that the visual medium is important for propaganda. They have issued statements saying that girls will be allowed to study till high school. We have to wait and see whether that happens. They have said that women can participate in government, can even work as long as they follow Sharia rules. What that means? We don't know. Clearly this is a softer image the Taliban is trying to put up right now. The surprise element was the speed with which the Taliban is taken over. But as veteran journalist and former army officer Ajay Shukla, who was the only Indian to enter Kabul when the American forces entered it along with Northern Alliance. Ajay Shukla says that in Afghanistan battles are often won by bribing. So it is possible that many of these people had been bribed and that is how one after the other these cities and districts have fallen. But the point is where did the Taliban get the money? Chances are most of it would have been routed through Pakistan and through Saudi support. It is well known that Saudi Arabians have historically supported the Taliban. The Taliban has started an outreach program. China for instance has said that they are happy to work with a new government which is stable and peaceful as long as they don't support terrorists in China. Which of course probably means the Uyghurs who the Chinese have been trying to suppress. Many Uyghurs are, guerrillas are inside Afghanistan so the Taliban will find it difficult to find. 20 years lot has changed in geopolitics in that region. We will have to wait and see how things work out over the next few weeks. We will keep updating you on this show. This is bound to be worth watching out for.


Hi, everyone. This video marks the start of our focused discussion of the listening process through what's known as the Hurrier model, starting with the notion of hearing or the function of hearing as an important part of the listening process. So as you may recall from our previous discussion, we're looking again at this Hurrier model, which the letters just stand for the first word, for the first letter of each word that we're going to take a look at here, starting with hearing, moving through understanding, remembering, interpreting, evaluating, and responding. But again, the focus of this video and our initial discussion here is on hearing. If you recall the Hurrier model, it looks like this. It starts with hearing and then moves through those other aspects, and it really is hard to imagine listening without hearing. As we'll discuss, hearing and listening are not the same thing, but hearing is an important first part of the listening process. So when we talk about hearing, we're really talking about that physiological process of hearing, right? When sound waves strike our eardrums and so forth, and the whole physiological process that leads from that sound wave being translated into some sort of image or sound or notion in our mind, the symbolic representation of whatever it is in our mind. So again, hearing is that physiological process that happens at the very start of the listening process. But there are some differences. Hearing and listening are not the same thing, although hearing is an important part of the listening process. There are some distinct and key differences between the two. For example, hearing is a constant process. Listening is intermittent. We hear constantly whether we want to or not. We can take some steps to kind of, you know, put in earbuds or block sound waves from striking our ears, but we can't just flip a switch and turn off hearing, right? Not at least internally. So hearing is constant. Whether we want to hear something or not, it's going to be there. The sound waves are still going to be there. But listening, as we've discussed, is an active process. It's not something that happens all the time. It's not something that just happens naturally for us. It's something we need to focus on and be actively involved. So it doesn't happen all the time. We're not always listening, but we are always hearing. Another key difference is that hearing is a natural ability, whereas listening is a learned skill. Hearing you're either born with the ability to hear or not and to varying degrees, right? People may experience either total hearing loss from birth or later on in life or some partial hearing loss, but it's a natural thing. It's not something we have to be taught how to do. It's again, one of the first of our senses that comes online. We can hear from really from birth if we have that ability. Listening, though, is something that has to be learned. It's not a natural ability for us. In fact, it's in many ways quite unnatural to be an effective listener. So listening is something that we have to learn how to do effectively and learn how to do appropriately. Hearing is a passive skill, whereas listening is active, as we've discussed before. Hearing, again, it's not something we have to take steps to have happen. It happens whether we want it to or not. It's constant. It's natural. It just happens. But listening is quite the opposite. It's not. So listening is an active process. It requires our specific focus and intention. So listening is an active process as opposed to hearing, which is a passive one. And hearing is a one-way thing. It's only reception. It only has to do with perception. Whereas listening involves understanding and using that message, and as we'll discuss, then responding to that message and it involves so much more than just the one-way process of those sound waves striking our ears. Listening is a two-way process. It involves hearing and so it involves that intake, but it also involves expression and outtake in some ways and understanding. And so there's just much, much more to it than the... I don't want to oversimplify the hearing process either, but there's much more to listening than just hearing. So as we can see, hearing is an important part, an important aspect of the listening process, but it's not the end of it. So we'll take a brief look in our other video on hearing, about some of the challenges that are involved in hearing, as well as some of the ways that we can improve our listening process by improving our hearing and doing some things that can aid our hearing. But it's an important first step, but it's not the end-all be-all. But it does represent the H in the hurryer model of the listening process. If you have questions about this or anything else regarding listening, please feel free to email me. I'd be happy to chat with you there and discuss any questions that you might have. In the meantime, I hope you'll continue on our journey to becoming a more effective listener.

Let's see what lies inside of here. Better be Toy Story Woody or something like that, man. Wait, what? Train Doctor Balloon? Finding lots? Oh, what? Dude, you can just spawn random things.  What? What the... What the heck is that? It's a floating eyeball! Oh! Hit it down! Curled horse powder! Planetive cry! Blindly into misty carcosa. Okay, I get the bottle from the fridge. Oh my gosh! The lights just turned off, man. Please don't do this to me, baby! I'm taking care of you the best I can, okay? Dude, he was just on the couch and now... Okay, whatever, man. Take the bottle. Oh, I threw it. Hey, my mistake, man. I did not mean to do that. Hey, happy baby! Okay, we need to go change him again. Dude, this guy poops a lot. Hold on. I like scary baby better. Let's put it on. There you go. It just makes it feel more scary. Okay, take the baby to the changing table. Nice. Get a new nappy. Oh, not the freaking nappy. Nothing is possessed. Hey, come back! What the heck? Is this just going to float off like that, man? Oh, I remember this. I'm not going to fall for this. Wait, is it this? What the heck? Okay, uh... Oh, yeah, the tails, man. Hey, can we open this? No. Okay, let's go back to changing the baby. Baby, you better not have moved, man, I swear. Okay, nice. Take baby to bed. What the heck was that? Oh, my God.  Dude, I don't just want to throw this dude across the room, man. Okay, let's put him in the bed. Throw him in there again. Oh, I forgot to turn off the lights.  Kind of creepy. Hey, watch TV. And that's... That'd be the end of night, too, maybe? Maybe not? Okay, I told you guys, night three. Okay, the center. Good night, sweet dreams. The child, I will show you my dreams. Oh, that does not sound good, bro. It sounds like something's about to go down. Hey! Cut it! Oh, my God, dude, that is so... Oh, that does not look normal. What is that? Dude, that is going to give me nightmares, dude. What the heck, man? Why did I do the big head? I regret doing it. Big head, feed me! Oh, my God. I forgot about this day. It turns like so dark.  Oh, I remember this. Okay, it's going to close on us. Yes, I knew it. It's coming back to me, guys. What? Yo, what the heck? Oh, my God, what if I... Okay, oh, my God.  I figure they might have, but they don't. Dude, that is so freaking weird. This game just... Dude, real quick, man. Okay, yes, changed the baby. Dude, this is so disturbing. I can't see this baby because of the big head. Oh, my God. Wait, I need to do this. Wait, I need to do this, man. No, it doesn't work. I should have put it before. Oh, my God, dude, let's go. Get the tailman from the parent's bedroom upstairs. We need to get it now or else we're going to die. This is freaking... Normally big-headed child. Besides the baby with the tailman. B-X-O! That was something, man. Sorry for that, baby, but... You were just too evil for me there. I had to put you down. Oh, man, I forgot about that. Hey, it's been a while, okay? Oh, there he is. Up he goes, dude, the tentacles there and everything. Oh, my God. Good night. I don't seem like... We were the ones that got put to bed instead of the baby.
