Hi everyone, Basil Chapman on this Monday, Monday the 11th of April. This weekend was really interesting because I was able to take the time while I'm preparing for the webinar coming up on Wednesday for subscribers to my opening call. I just went through so many different stocks.  I hit the keyboard to see whatever comes up, whatever the letters are for the symbols. I very often I go through the alphabet. A, we already own A is Agilent. B, which is Bond's Group. I mean, who would have thought that Bond's Group would be just plunging from the 48 area down to 36's. C is Citicorp. It's just, it's fascinating. Alright, so Citicorp, I didn't do all the notations because I've done many of the other bank stocks and just went on like that. And most importantly, what I discovered was that there are sectors, and look, this is Citicorp is in the financials. And if you put it together with XLF, which is the S&P Select Financial Spider Fund, which is holding at the 200 period moving average, which is what I'm going to be talking about on Wednesday, just giving you really simple technical tools that you can just put on your program. Everybody has these things on the program. The one thing that some people don't have is the ability to make an arch patent. You don't have to make an arch patent. You can make it like a V, go straight up and straight down and straight down straight up. You know, that's a possibility. There are all ways of overcoming that. But some of the techniques are going to be so, so simple. Look, here's the E-mini, the five minute chart. It makes those the June contract, the IGO ESM 22. Look, here it is. It makes a low at $23.50. So that's $11.50 last night. It makes a low, that's only 11th. $11.50 couldn't have been last night. It was 11th today. It's 11th. Let's see. The 10th. And what happened was it goes to peak A, pulls back, makes an arch formation. What does it do? It tests exactly the left side low. So then it starts another move. This is like a restart. It doesn't mean to say, if it took out by moving 25 cent increments, if it went 25 cents lower, then you could not have called this a restart. It has to be a brand new buy signal. And the arrow, up arrow, I put in afterwards because you have to wait for the confirmation. But I did put it in. And now you've got peak A, a lower A, a lower A, and then finally goes to a leg B above the lowest A. And what's the Chapman Wave methodology? Looking for at least four higher peaks from a buy signal to upgrade to a buy mode that takes you to at least D. So what does it do? It goes to D. And you can see the nine crosses the 14, the MACD is good. Stochastic goes over 20, 80 percent. And then whoops, it slips as it goes to that peak D. And it pulls back sharply. And then what happens is Stochastic gives you a nice reversal to the upside, the on balance volume, the blue line right there holding very well. And it makes this little trough here in the MACD. And then it makes what I was anticipating would be, I call this the camel double hump failure pattern. I'm trying to get away from those nicknames because if you want to get respect in the world, you've got to use real terms. So this is a second arch formation in the M shape pattern. And it goes where? To the 200 peak moving average. Did you have to think of that pink line at all? No. Even that peak D didn't there. But then there was a sudden move up at about 3.30 this morning. And it goes where? Just above the 200 peak moving average to peak E. Then it goes to an F. And then look what happens. The MACD turns down sharply. The Stochastic turns down sharply within five or six bars. And you get a failure pattern at a peak F. And it goes way under the 200 peak moving average. Then it makes a loan. Then I decided I would do this. Now this is when I started looking at it a little later this morning. It already started a little bit of a rally here at about 5.30 or so. So I drew in a green, long, oblong rectangle pattern. And then I clicked and was able to make it the same number of bars to the right side. And it said that somewhere before nine o'clock this morning, there should be a retest of this low, the actual low right here. That's the low of one. Was it again? It was 44.50 round number low. And here it starts to climb and it goes all the way from the Stochastic turning up, on-bounds volume turning up, residual strength turning up, MACD histogram improving and it goes peak A, B, C. It goes to a D. All of a sudden that 200 peak moving average becomes the magnet line. It goes to a very quick E, F and G. Remember, I have a rule of thumb that says if you go very quickly to a C, D, an E or a D, E and F, you got to be careful because it could be a quite a sharp pullback. It doesn't say major sell.  And it does right at the 200 peak moving average. And my rule of thumb, of course, is watch how the left side technicals match the right side technicals. And what happens? It goes right back. It fails under the previous high of that PG. It makes a little cup formation or a V-shaped formation, double top at the 200 peak moving average. It hasn't been able to close above that look. And then boom, it comes down and it takes out in a little bit shorter timeframe, that right side time, price, time match. And I'll teach you which bars you can use, which candles you can use. And this, it looks like the topic's going to be an exact measured move from left side to the right side or the other way around on the upside. And look what happened. It suddenly failed. And this pink line says that it hasn't crossed positive yet. So don't expect any rally to be sustained until 44, 53 is held for about two or three bars. All right, let's just do this. Let's get into our numbers here. We're looking at the, I spoke about the XLF. Actually, what I'm talking about left side, right side, price, time match. Look how this is, it's so important. Here's my, this is part of what I'm going to be doing right here. So words, action, technicals, shop, that's shop if I heard, funnily enough, I heard Tommy O'Brien, a fabulous show at nine o'clock he does, he puts together the fundamentals with the technicals, has a really good grasp of how to put these things together. And he was talking about Shopify. And here I am, I'm already working on Shopify for my webinar. Why? Because look, it made a high, now let me just, let me get to my, this is too tiny to look at. This is part of my prepared slides. Let's go to Shopify right here. I'm taking a little time because I don't think anything's happening right now on the waterfront. So I thought this is a good opportunity just to show you some of the things that I'll be doing. So look at this. Yes, Shopify. It makes a high at a peak F in the Chapman Wave methodology. Look, all the technicals, the MACD was good. There's that double hump, that right shoulder that said, Oh, be careful. Because if you start to make a high and the technicals fail and the stochastic goes under 80% very quickly, you could start to see a tumble where it goes to 1762.92. I think it was November round about the 22nd or so. Pulls back. And then four, one, two, three, four, five days later or six days later, if I remember correctly, I didn't write this down. Normally, I would write it down, but I was really busy at the time. I believe claim I interviewed the CEO and he was talking about Shopify, they're into everything. Everything's fantastic.

Hi folks so what I was saying is Shopify and the CEO comes on at about 1600 and hits 1762.92 all-time high just about five days before that.  I'll be teaching this on Wednesday just showing how many not not once not twice but hundreds of times when a certain moving average becomes important up until then just ignore it. It doesn't matter but you put it on your chart and as it starts to hit but what happened you had your dreaded age pattern lower case age it fails it comes back makes it makes a sine wave of sawtooth wave it goes whoops up and down and it finally breaks down another arch formation tumbles down and makes a low of 510.02 Mr. Round Number by two cents on the 14th of March ready sharp to 780 round number high and then pulls back to 607.29 up four points today. But wait a minute look at the weekly chart 1650.00 in a weekly chart it makes two weeks of exact high round number highs pulls back makes the cup formation and they can see the left side back in July August of last year was very technically very strong stochastic was pulling back a little bit but was strong on balance well I mean was good but everything else was very strong but when it came back and had retested at 1762.92 102.02 points higher it didn't have the veracity it was weak technically and then what happened is it makes the arch formation and pulls back it was actually like an uppercase the iPhone tower straight up straight down and it just tumbled away it's made a chaff Dean the weekly a peak G in the monthly unusual peak G and on the November of 2021 and with the Chapman wave Roman candle I spoke about this and it's plummeted down now it's made a long legged doji candle it's really important within two bars that's in two months it has to see a close and then out of the next three months because we're talking about monthly candles it needs to close above this high so the high that was made at March of 780.00 it needs to in April or March it needs to close above it and then to say it's turning the corner so the technicals can improve two out of the out of the following three months it needs to close above that and that's the rule of thumb that I give and we'll see how that works out meantime back at the ranch if it closes under 510.02 that just says watch out this is a really serious trouble shop shop if I didn't say what it was it's called shop if I ink and it does oh what happened to that are you shop if I ink online store for individuals to use as a platform all right there we go so I'm told by a lot of people I know my son thought was great company just on a purely technical basis that is what they do that's got nothing to do with the finances just what they do all right so here we go let's let's go straight to our story so within the context of where are we in the chat wave methodology and what are we doing in terms of subscribers where are we real in the long term we're long starting from the low of March 23rd 2020 we bought options and within a week or two we went into the diamonds diamonds we've held the core position there we've taken some profits are often in between that we be sure we'll be long be sure be long via the DOG one to one short or whatever it is but we've used it as a trading there the last entry point was I'm just under thirty three thousand in the Dow which is the diamonds we bought and we've got a position there and we've taken two little bits off just in terms of profit taking because it did get to above the 200 people moving average and it did get to a P D D is where other things can happen it can go higher but that's where you lift your foot off the break just to assess exactly what's going on you can hold your position we can take a little bit off but that's where you want within one three six that's my rule of thumb for a consolidation patterns you want to be moving high especially within one bar or two bars that's fantastic action but if it takes longer you're in a consolidation you basically have to wait for a brand new by signal to come in to move it into the next phase of the of the up move for it and that would be implied that it takes up 35,372 now within that context look how important the 200 people moving averages in the day look how many times it's been there look it's been under it it's refused to close under it except for one brief moment but since it broke above on March the 16th it hasn't closed below so if it does close below it is as oh be careful now we probably in this shorter term phrase going to be pulling back and it's just now watch the monthly because you don't want this MACD I'll be teaching about the MACD you don't want this moving average converges diverges like it has before twice already deflected from the nine from this nine period differential the red line and the histogram is improving so that is good support so now what's really important is I don't want to look at the monthly's right now that don't mean anything because dating and weekly obviously will trump the the monthly chart longer term monthly chart they especially the daily chart look at the S&P so what are we looking at in the Dow under 34,200 be careful close in the 34,000 says oh oh a down phase is back in place all right let's go to the S&P S&P actually went much higher above the 200 period moving average it went to a peak D at 4637.30 it's pulled back trough A trough B this is now legs C to the downside it's just put that in Chapman very easy technique all we're doing is just putting in the letters there it is A B and we're in the way on the way down trough legs C now the fact that the S&P is down 0.85% the Dow is only down 0.23% and the QQQ is down 1.5% that kind of divergence says the selectivity of the Dow 30 which is the reason why I love the Dow 30 so much is because the Dow has a different characteristic in that it's only 30 stocks S&P is 500 QQQ is NDX 100 the IWM is really much bigger it is the small caps things something like 2000 stocks so there's a big difference and I do respect that I am not one of those people that says oh what I'm saying is that's the way it is no I say each individual area has to be looked at so as I'm looking at this there are reasons for me based on the monthly charts I don't want to go to them right now based on the monthly charts based on I'm going to do this just if I can do it really quickly I know it isn't the speed that I need right now I just want to be I've got so many I've got so many charts up and windows I just don't want to overdo things and have something stick and then all of a sudden I lose all my data in my trade session because I have to shut it down and those notations get sometimes get lost so because it's not automated every single notation you see is me personally doing it and it doesn't take more than a few moments but yep I do it alright so here we go this is the the triple yield chart I'm so you subscribers on on Saturday when I did my big overview over just about it was over an hour I put this up and then I think I forgot to talk about it but look at this this is the five year of the effort vx cyan colored five year team note yield it's gone to even a higher high today but today's high is I think 20 27 is that 48 let me just check what it is 20 28.22 2.8 22 that's the five year it's over the 14 is over the 30 year and that's having an effect on the market but not the kind of effect that you would expect and I'll talk about that as soon as we reach it so I wanted to talk about that because we are talking about is there any

more information just click the Think or Swim banner on the front page of tfnn.com Hi folks we're back so we're looking at the yields so I had a question about yields could you try to explain I'm really not I'm not an economist in the sense that I can talk to about the yields and fundamentals about yields I can just tell you that yields at this point in the two point or three percent area or four percent area for those of us who are seeing yields up in the fifteen sixteen seventeen percent area and this is you've got to be thinking relatively in the time that we're in right now going from a low of let's go to the thirty year let's go to the thirty year the low that was made somewhere around anywhere around there that would be the thirty would be eleven ninety seven one point one nine seven way back in whatever that was that was twenty twenty it was March of twenty twenty as we made the market lows so go to that yield and you see that we yield now at about two point seven something right that is a big change and it's the change that that frustrates it and really irritates and upsets the market that's the thing it's a you've got to you know it's like looking back and so oh yeah when we used to live on Malra Street in the back bay nineteen seventies we could have bought the entire building for forty seven thousand you can't do that now one one apartment one condo change the condos must be one point five million or something like that this is no way what it's like saying oh I could you know I once did a webinar I know I did a that's right I was here in Boston I was asked for the tea I what was it called the investors something of America I was asked to say every once in a while I get asked to sit in there and I was talking I was talking about all these different things and and a guy comes up to me afterwards he says well first of all asked me about Apple during the show and I spoke about Apple and then he came up afterwards and he said oh you know my wife and I we bought a few thousand shares of Apple our average cost was eight dollars and I'm saying most of them why did you even come to why would you bother coming to something like this of course he was just intrigued by the markets etc but at eight dollars so look back is really important you've got it you've got to talk about the the factors that were in place at the time of the incident or whatever it is you can't go back and and and and have a multitude of time frames and say oh man if I this if I that could have what I should have is just it doesn't work right now this is irritating the market this is upsetting to the market that the yields in leg D in the weekly chart this is the the D is for the 30 year that's the white one which is beyond it now it's not being covered by the blue but it's still above this can you believe the five year Sian right here is being is covering the the tenure and the 30 year so the question is yields what what is deals all about yields is the differential between the cost of borrowing something that's the way I always look at it so if you want to buy a house what the yield is the yield is made up of a profit that's made up of the lender and it can change so that's all we're looking at and really what we are looking at in this particular instance is why would the market tank when in November of 2018 the yield was three three point four five the 30 year was thirty four fifty five that's three point four five five because of the conditions these current conditions so I want to just quickly do that wasn't so quick but I wanted to explain that it is only relative it is the cost of doing business and that's what you're looking at and the fact that the 30 year is underneath the the is it underneath the 10 I don't know if it is under the 10 it's close it's just barely above the tenure it's just saying to you that there is a certain demand in certain sectors that is it there is more demand for the lower price and the lower price says that why should I put my money in 30 years when I can do it for five or 10 all right now the other thing is and that's probably not not just the way I'm looking at it but at the same time I'm sure there are way more sophisticated and more accurate ways of looking at it I'm just saying that's the way I'm looking at it look at the wood the ice is global and triple forest street up today stuck in that range in a beautiful range it looks like a great copper which is pulling back it's still up in the range and this is international market activity global timber and forestry and a global copper so that's saying can't just ignore the things are just so bad everywhere something's going on but look at the housing if you look at the HGX this is the Philadelphia housing index underneath the major support level having a nice session today is at 5.43 at 400.81 but that's what we've got and now now comes to the question that I really wanted to deal with and and I'm going to just close this space to close the workspace there we go save yep always save say say yes to all now the big question is yields because if yields actually start to pull back meaning the TLT is going to rally this is go to my Chapman Chapman wave this is I'll show this but I don't have any techniques that I can give out publicly because this is something that was done for me privately and I the person unfortunately I died and I don't know all the technical details but I gave specific specifics for using the magnine the stochastic to build automated resistance and support levels as well this is 10 minutes this is a daily this is the weekly this is the monthly and that's the hundred and twenty minute chart this is the SMH is trying to form a base at two forty three ninety three trading at two forty three oh oh so it's going to be difficult two forty one of the ten minute anyway so look at the TLT and the big question really and it's a fabulous question when you think with not not this is someone else asked when you think we'll get a turnaround and will it last in the yields well you know markets tend to get bored at a certain point with something so I don't see yet how they can get bored with the yields the TLT still declining and if you look it's broken through all these different support levels one twenty five ninety one twenty six fifty eight that's the daily I don't have anything right now it's already gone below the ten minute chart one twenty four twenty nine and the hundred and twenty minute chart and it's already below that then I get to the monthly one twenty five oh two it's below that hundreds hundred twelve point forty two and that's just saying to me that the yields are probably going to be rising let's go to the TBT see if the resistance levels look the TBT which is the inverse of the TLT twenty a treasury Lehman twenty three treasury bond fund now it's the inverse has broken through all the resistance levels which are now supported twenty two point forty nine and twenty two point seventeen twenty four eighty three is the next resistance in the weekly and twenty three seventy one is the resistance in the daily and the high today is twenty three thirty six so we're getting to a point where it could be resistance between testing the hundred and twenty minute chart but let's look at it in a different way let's look at the slightly different way let's go to the individual and we go to the ten year and you'll see there is a resistance line and I show this in my webinar coming up how you control left side right side price time matches that right to the next ten year I talk about as soon as we reach out are you in the market for buying or selling real estate in the Bay area including the surrounding St. Petersburg Tampa and

just go through this real quick is the weekly T and X is the tenure you can see I chose to make this a midpoint a long time ago and the highs that I was looking at this round about the twenty seven seventy nine that was way back in the early two thousand nineteen and I had a measured move and I got the Chapman wave inside wedge target resistance line this is the green line which said that somewhere between now and January also between the price point of August where I made that the the plum line the fulcrum for the left side right side price time match we should be making some kind of a test of the twenty eight twenty sorry twenty sevens the high so far today's twenty seven eighty and you can see I drew in and I typed in twenty seven seventy nine so it's one penny above that and it's done it in one bar two bars late for the left side right side price time at but in the inside wedge this is exactly the area that we were thought about so these are techniques that just simple techniques that I will be showing and how you can use enough with that now let's get to the nitty gritties of so just for subscribers and it's very interesting because what we've done over the last couple of weeks is that we've been raising cash we've got a pretty high cash position we've got positions in the market that are doing pretty nicely and the most important thing right now is that there are certain stocks that I want to get that have held really well one in particular spoke about on Saturday my in my video overview video and I was going to do it and I thought should I do it today should I do one that held so well in in an area that could in fact take one of our scientific scientific stocks that have a scientific basins for that for their operations and just switch it out and something that also has been in a more a functioning area unfortunately I didn't do today that has really moved up a point but that just tells me that you can't just blindly say that this is this is a market that is everything's going down because not everything is going down there are certain areas that are holding extremely well so with that said a couple of things we want to look at I've got a couple of questions and I'm going to just quickly answer some of them that's what you spoke about a dear DE recently that you had got into it what do you think of it here is it worth is it worth starting a position DE so DE we are we're long from around about the 387 level it hit 437 about two weeks ago it pulled back quite sharply it's holding really nicely look at the nine period exponential moving average above the 14 but this is where you've got to be careful because as I say we are not the stock we are just following the price moving as best we can and so far the last three days after the doji candle thursday nice candle Friday and a good follow through on the upside today my biggest concern is that in a rectangle formation once it breaks out above it it mustn't come back and break underneath the previous high support 400.34 back in May the week of May the 5th May the 14th of 2021 and the last move down went to 401.82 so it's just a barely above it and now it's holding the longer it holds above this rectangle the greater the chances of the rectangle is going to become a springboard for a move even higher it is a leg C in the monthly chart it's got the Chapman wave methodology that I call it's the stock leg formation which could turn into a one to one to the upside I don't even want to get carried away by talking about that because the daily chart's making a cup and even if it's a successful cup it has to fill in the gap from the other day and it has to it has to break well above 437.98 so my answer is I at 421 dollars I don't know if I want you to put your money to work in that area because if it stalls at 437.10 points higher then it might makes the rectangle higher rectangle formation that's going to be tough I'd prefer if you either look at options that's one way to do it and I'd be looking not at March I'd be looking at not at April I'd be looking at something like May not too far not too near not too near but somewhere in May number one number two is I don't know where the deer and company tractors farm equipment there's a chance that they're absolutely in the perfect scenario but there are supply shortages we're looking at the shippers the shippers have they've just started moving nicely over the last couple of days but basically they've stall they're not breaking to new highs so this is telling me that this is the market issue that we're dealing with right now you remember what we said market people say market hates uncertainty yes every day it's uncertainty it hates uncertainty about uncertainty and right now we kind of twice removed we've got rates we've got oil although oil's pulling back but we've got the war at some point is America going to be drawn in deeper than it would like to be there are a lot of things going on and that's the reason why we've raised a lot of cash because I think under these conditions unless you're in the select areas that are working having cash ready to just put to work when you think and you don't have to put it all to work so the answer is deer I like it I like the way it's acting right now if it was $42 think of it as a $42 stuff not $421 that shouldn't change your it shouldn't change anything I'm just talking about money management right now so why? because I think it's going to have resistance in the $435 to $437 if it can get there of course at $421 to $437 $42 to $43 is nice that's a nice little percentage there but I don't know if you want to put your money think about it with you if you're prepared you're like deer I like it on a monthly basis there's a lot that I like about it look the MACD in the weekly chart is fabulous the stochastic's at 87% but it is pulling back a little bit it's holding really well so if you are if you want to get into it right now at $421 I would actually have a stop even though it's kind of a starter position on something that could work even better I'd say under $418 now if you're just in it for the first time you're going to have a bigger stop if it can hold between $416 to $414 just go sideways using that as a base and then have a sudden spike to $431 that's fantastic that's the action you want to see so starting here $421 for the moment let's say $414 is going to be a stop for you you know give it a 3% 4% on that position that's the way I would look at it I do like it I'm just saying that you've got really unusual market conditions that we don't know we just don't know about the ports are they starting to release some of those goods that were just being held for so long is on the track is that an issue are there supplies that are not getting there I don't know and because of that I'm just saying the action is still pretty damn good but I'd be a little careful that's all in how much you put to work okay the next thing I want to look at is within the context of the different patterns that we're looking at is if you look at the XLE and I'm going to talk a lot about the XLE this rectangle, the large rectangle formation that starts to move in a stair step way towards the previous high should technically go to a leg D in a shorter time frame which is already done but even in the core position that you're looking at in this case the daily chart with the height of 18.22 we're at 78.04 I suspect that I'm going to be able to draw in a rectangle formation with a sideways move in the XLE a little bit longer before it finally breaks to the upside so XLE should go to the leg D in the next day or two and that'll be just above from where the little thumb is going to go sharpening your

rectangle formation and now it's in an A-B-C-D it's in a leg E to the upside in the daily leg D in the weekly and leg C only a C in the T-Cream corn fund DBA also mentioned here we are long still long with DBA I love the action but this rectangle formation I can last a lot longer than patients patients unless it's decisively breaks above in this case 2264 was the peak G that was made round about the 15th or the 7th of March and then it pulled back and now it's made a big A with an arch formation another one with an arch formation but today's action broke out so this is actually turns out to be leg B now this could be something completely different because it's already in a leg B in the daily so I'm just going to draw this I always like to say two patterns always fighting in this case the arch with a rectangle so far this is good and look the mag D just crossed positive today in the daily chart that's a big sign and the stochastic still a little bit weaker 71% so they could be room to the upside there's the weekly peak E with a sideways move remember I discussed this before the left side right side match where it held and then it started to move higher but it took its time to break out this is DB Agricultural Fund IYT absolutely I keep you eye on the IYT it's trying to rally today it's at one at 242.30 13 but it's gone straight down from the 276 ish area back in the beginning of the end of March down to the low even today's low of 230 what is it 230 wow 239 that that low is just that's an incredible move straight down what was it 11 sessions so there's a lot to be careful of and we've raised cash because you've got to be careful here but the monthly charts I don't want to look at them right now the monthly charts are saying keep an eye on what happens in the third week of May that's going to be really important have a wonderful rest of the day I'll be back for the Tom O'Brien show at three o'clock and we've got pro wonderful program we've got Larry Pizzavetti


The Colombian government is facing a challenge to find alternative sources of oil due to the depletion of conventional reserves. One possible solution is to explore tight oil reservoirs, which require specialized techniques and equipment to extract the oil from the rock. Factors such as fracturing shape, fracture propagation, fracture pressure, international oil prices, and other variables must be considered when determining whether or not the reservoir is economically viable. This article was authored by Carlos Alejandro Ferrero, Camilo Andres Guerrero-Martin, Edgar Julian Ferrero, and others.


And there is Dr. Shabazz, so I'm going to move him over. Oh, good. He's here. He didn't know if he was getting on a plane, so. Oh, wow. I'm so glad he's here. Dedication, huh? Look at you. Are you on the plane, Dr. Shabazz? Got the mask, so I assume. It's like the airport, I think. Maybe not. Maybe it is a plane. It looks clean. Maybe a plane. Wow. Amazing. Okay. That's dedication. That is for dedication. Yeah. You could use internet on the plane. What? I haven't traveled in too long. All right. So I am going to go ahead then. You're recording, right, Jennifer? You said that. Yes. Okay. Excellent. So I'm going to go ahead and call to order the Monday, March 21st, 2022 African heritage reparation assembly meeting. At 4pm pursuant to chapter 20 of the acts of 2021. This meeting will be conducted via remote means members of the public who wish to access the meeting may do so via zoom or by telephone. No in person attendance of members of the public will be permitted, but every effort will be made to ensure that the public can adequately access the proceedings in real time via technological means. So welcome everyone. And let me just take a quick peek here to see. Okay. So we don't have any attendees. So this is going to be a very focused meeting today. Thank you all for being here. Sorry about last week. We didn't quite make a quorum for some. Circumstances that were not anticipated. So today we're going to be focusing primarily on the community survey. And I have a town council meeting that begins at 530. And I have to book it from here over to town hall. So I'd like to keep this to an hour. And I think that we can do that if we stay super focused on the survey. So being that there aren't any attendees, I do not need to hold public comment. I don't have any particular announcements other than to congratulate us for. Making the town council's unanimous vote to approve. Giving Paul direction to begin special legislation for us. And I want to thank the members who were able to be there to speak. It was extremely powerful. I think both Hala and Alexis have been quoted now in several media outlets. And I think that's a great question. I think the public comment. I think Alexis statements. I think Alexis statement is, is published in full on the Indy. And if you haven't had a chance to read it, please. Please do. And so if there aren't any other announcements from members, we can move right ahead into. Our work today on the community survey, but I'll just pause for a second to see if there are any other questions. Okay. So last time we met, we talked about developing a community survey that would be used to help us with our engagement and educational process. And in that, since that last time period, the feedback that was given in that meeting was one, we needed to create some objectives. And then we had to look at, we had to look at what we were trying to do for the survey, who we were trying to reach, what we were trying to get from the survey. And then the other bit of feedback was about speaking to the Donahue Institute. And also our wonderful communication staff at the town to see. You know, how, what would be the best way for us to move forward with that work. And then we had to start by giving you an update on some of. The conversations. I had a conversation with curry. Spitzer, who's our representative from the Donahue Institute that's working on the black census. I had a great conversation with her about our community survey. And then I also Jennifer and I had a wonderful conversation with. Oh my God, Brianna Brie. You call her Brie Jennifer. Which is so sweet. And she is the director of communications at the town. And she provided some really excellent information about how we might go forward with this. So, and then in addition to that, I started a document for us that we can use. That is essentially. A beginning of some thoughts around goals and objectives for the survey. And I'll, I'll put that I'll share the screen with you in a second, but first let me just sort of give the basic overview of the conversation that I had with the Donahue Institute. And with Brianna. So speaking with curry at the Donahue Institute. She has actually a background in doing these types of surveys. So it was really useful to speak with her. And I did call her sort of. Informally, so I let her know what we were up to, but not in that we would necessarily be. Hiring the Donahue Institute to do the work with us, but really just to talk with her about her thoughts, given she was already involved in a project with us. I think the biggest takeaway that I got from that meeting is that whatever survey we come up with. We should. Try it out with a small focus group. First, before we send it out to the larger and broader community. I thought that was a really good advice. You know, she says oftentimes the people that are involved in creating the survey, they may not pick up on certain things that if you get it out to some outside folks, they'll say, Oh, well, this language doesn't resonate or. This would be more clear if it was, you know, presented this way. So we can talk about that. That was the biggest takeaway. She was really encouraged that we were doing it. Of course she said the Donahue Institute could certainly help us, particularly around what Hollowhead. Brought forward, I think two meetings or maybe, yeah, a meeting ago about sort of checking to make sure that there wasn't like implicit or explicit bias in the way that we craft the questions and things like that. So I do feel that Kerry could continue to be a resource for us, both on an informal and if needed, formal basis. And then with respect to communications with the town, Brianna really, really outlined what I thought was a fantastic plan for how we might move forward with actually building the survey and then disseminating it out, how we might promote it. And I'm going to show you an example of a survey that's happening right now in town that I think is just done so well. And we sort of agreed, Jennifer and I sort of agreed that probably the best way to do this would be to build it in Survey Monkey, but then Brianna recommends creating a project page on Engage Amherst, which is with the age-friendly and dementia group is doing and it's beautiful. And I'll share that with you when we do that. But that's a lot of words. So let me pause and see if there are any questions or comments so far. I think that what you said so far is great, but I don't have enough information in terms of what kind of survey you're thinking about or what kind of survey we should be thinking about in terms of doing. And in my experience, well, not what I would like to see. And this is something that I consider to, you know, just something that I would personally like to see is a randomized representative sample of the African-American community here in Amherst. And the reason that I say that is that if it's randomized and it's a representative sample, then it is something that once established, that sample can be used again and again and again, sort of like the Gallup poll. And it would give us an idea of the overall thoughts, feelings, reactions to et cetera in relationship to reparations and also to our work. It would just be remarkably informative. Okay. And Irv, so when you just to clarify for myself and maybe for others, a randomized representative sample, that sounds like something we would want to get some help with in terms of once the black census is completed. Is that your sound? Exactly. And Carrie would know exactly what I'm talking about and how to go about doing it. It doesn't mean you can't do an other survey, other surveys, and you can use both surveys as to compare one against the other. And the reason for a representative and randomized is that people who would be a part of this are people who would have been tipped almost out of a hat. And Carrie knows how to do that. And therefore it's representative of the population of Amherst. That representative sample may only be 10 to 20% of the, from five to 20%, but Carrie again could do that sampling, that sampling process. Now, obviously the other way of doing this, which is less scientific, and I'm using that word in a way, is that you could just do a survey of everyone to get their opinions. And that has merit also. It does not mean that it does not have merit, except that the only shortcoming is not a shortcoming. There's something like if you see in a dissertation or research paper it says the study is limited by X. So that survey would be limited because it's not representative. So it would only represent the people who are speaking, not the entire community. Okay. Yeah, that is really great. I'm taking thorough notes here so that when I speak to Carrie again, I have this information. And what it has me thinking is, I think at least in my thinking the survey, at least one of the surveys that we would do would go cross demographics. So everybody in the community, regardless of race or other identifying factors would be able to participate. But I think what you're saying about the randomized representative sample survey of the African heritage community is really powerful. And I do think Carrie has a lot of experience with that. So, okay. Any other comments before I just start to share my screen here. Comments or questions. All right. Great. So, oh, Alexis. No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, you're good. Okay. One second. I'm going to share screen. And hopefully everyone can see the screen. If you could just give me a thumbs up if you can see. Okay, great. And this is really just to get us started with this conversation. So I'll just quickly go through it. So goals to guide and inform the survey so far that I've. Yeah, Sarah. So the goals that we have here. Jada down here are first to determine the community's understanding of the historical context and meaning of reparations. So how do community members define reparations? You know, there are lots of different ways that people define reparations. What do community members know about the historical injustices and crimes perpetuated against people of African heritage. What do community members know about the history of reparations in the U.S. A second objective is to learn about the community's engagement with the R for a research reports and perspectives on reconciliation. So have community members read the research reports published by our for a about the history of anti-black racism in Amherst. And the current day black white disparities. What reactions to community members have to these reports, whether it's the racial injustices in Amherst and or their own lived experience. What perspective perspectives do community members have about the reconciliation process and who should be involved. And then of course an objective would be to promote HRH charge online and at community events. So this would be a tool to engage community and identify community members and organizations that want to be more deeply involved. So I think that's a great question. I think that's a great question. I just have here lead stakeholders to be recruited. So we talked about recruiting stakeholders in various segments of the community to promote and distribute the survey to translate the survey when necessary. And to serve as interview participants and recruiters of additional people to be interviewed. And then the methods of for publication and distribution. I'm going to show you here the age. So this is the engage Amherst page. For the age and dementia friendly Amherst community project. This is a survey that's currently happening. They've really done a fantastic job. I encourage you to take a look at this. You can see here they have cover letters in English. In Spanish, in Portuguese. They have a number to call for Korean and Chinese. And I'm sorry, how's that? Come here. Jennifer. Oh, you're not there. So, and then there are hard copies available as well at the banks community center as well as the Jones library. They're holding listening sessions. They will be holding them. And it's just a really wonderful, wonderful organized project and a model really, I think they did work with a specialist in survey, creation and promotion, I believe. So that certainly helped. But you can see here if I click on their, their, their letter, their letter clearly outlines the objectives for their survey. It gives a link to the survey. It tells you where hard copies can be found. And provides contact information for translation. And then the survey itself. You are welcome. Actually, it's being encouraged that community members take the online survey, but just to click on it, you can see it was built in survey monkey. And you just kind of move through it. And then everything's captured. And in our case, Jennifer would be, would be building that for us in survey monkey and capturing and securing all of the data. So I'm going to pause there and just see if there are any thoughts about the objectives. And if these seem like we're heading in the right direction, if we need to add or subtract or whatever. And I see that your hand is upper. Yes, I mean, all of those objectives are really good. So like everything else that devils into details. And the details here are constructing a survey. That would be able to capture those objectives. In a way that would allow the community to respond in a meaningful way that we could use in terms of information. So it's, it's, it's the challenge always isn't this kind of thing is constructing the survey instrument itself. Yeah, absolutely. Dr. Shabazz. Yes, I can you hear me. Yes. Yes. So what I would encourage on the second item is, rather than to specify, what have they learned or engaged with in relation to reparations for Amherst reports, I would just more generalize that. And perhaps point as well to the AHRA website, the town website that contains all of the variety of reports inclusive of our for a inclusive of our work as an assembly, inclusive of other materials and just sort of generalize that particular objective area rather than to say specifically for this or for that source. Excellent. Okay, that's great. And that's really a good thinking about pointing to the resource page on the AHRA site with research reports. And we can add in the link here. And I don't know that this document by the way is for external use as much as it is for our use. But I think it's important for us to be really clear here. So I really appreciate that Dr. Shabazz. And I wasn't sure if like this in second kind of sub bullet what reactions do community members have and we can change that to reports resources. You know, that's a big that's a big question and depending on who's responding to the survey, you know, they're going to either have their own lived experience. They're going to have experience that they've learned from friends, family members, colleagues, or they're going to have read something that enlightened them. So, Alexis. Okay, I'm sorry. I was a little bit distracted because I've, I've been in two, like literally three meetings at once. But so I guess I'm wondering like it. I feel like I need just a little bit. I don't know. I don't know, but it feels like something, something is missing only because. Like, you know, I'm trying to be really clear about the information that we're trying to get right. Like when we, when we're talking about the communities understanding, we're talking about the entirety of Amherst, or we talking about the black community or the African-American community of Amherst, you know, and I'm, I know that these answers are going to be different. But I guess I'm wondering, you know, what are we then going to do with the disparity of answers and then, you know, what answers are like extremely important for us to, to understand. Like I, I think that we have an under a general understanding of reparations being on this committee, knowing all of the different facets in which anti-blackness affects, you know, African-American life. But, you know, are we like, is it to get to what Dr. Rose was saying, you know, the beauty or like the real, the real stuff is kind of in the details. And I, I wonder if it's worth it to really sort of dive a little bit deeper rather than saying something so like, like it feels like how does the community define reparations? I feel like it's almost too broad. And I almost want to say like, how does the community define reparations in terms of housing, in terms of healthcare, in terms of schooling, in terms of, because like it's, it's almost like too broad for me. Yeah, I don't know. That's my half-baked, half-baked idea. No, that's really, that's really good. And I think I've heard a lot of conversations that relate to reparations where the word community is used and the question arises, are we talking about the harmed community or are we talking about the whole community? And so I do think we need to be clear about that in, I know in Provincetown, or not in Provincetown, in Provincetown, in Providence, Rhode Island, they did a wonderful survey. I think Dr. Shabazz led me to that one there. And they actually, when they, so a couple of the first questions in the survey were to respond to your particular demographics, how you identify. And then they actually, when they got the data, when they looked at the data, they pulled out the data. They did it white versus BIPOC, but we could do whatever, you know, if we wanted to pull out the African heritage data specifically, so we can see how the African heritage community, the harmed community is looking at these things versus the broader community. And I think, you know, my sort of my suggestion was going to be that once we sort of ground ourselves with this, with the objectives and goals that we either form a subcommittee to begin building the questions, like diving deeper, as you said, Alexis, or we continue to meet as a full group if we can do that, which I would prefer if that's possible. Or if your hand is up. Yes. And it comes back to, there are two things. One, what are the objectives in terms of the use of data that is received from the survey? Because if you understand the objectives of how you're going to use the data, it more importantly informs the questions that you ask. And that always has to be kept in mind, because it's sort of like the whole thing, whole thing in research is garbage and garbage out. So what you really want to be careful, what you really want to know upfront for yourself, for us, for the AHRA, how do we wish to use the data that we collect? How is that going to inform the decision-making non-owner of AHRA, but also the perception of the town and relationship to reparations? Those are very important things that we really need to consider. The second thing, my look back down, look down the list of the objectives, and I see that they learn about the community, engagement with research reports, et cetera. And obviously, when I look at that, I say, all right, that's great, but that obviously can't be a part of the survey because you really want to know if they've actually know anything about the reports, et cetera, et cetera. If you include your report in the survey and you have them read it, then that defeats the purpose of the question. Yeah, that makes sense. So I wonder if we did decide to include our resources page, which as Dr. Shabazz said, includes those research reports plus other resources that we've gathered, what we're really trying to get at is what people's reactions are and how they see, I think, the reconciliation process, what are the injustices, and Hala, I see that your hand is raised, so I'm going to stop. Oh, it was, you could finish. I was just saying you can have a separate question if the material was read and then have a question or two so that we can include both groups, some who won't have the time or to read the things and others who will, so the questions could be separate and then stored, the data could be stored differently. Yeah, absolutely. Jennifer, I still see Irv that your hand is up. I'm going to go to Jennifer first. Jennifer. I was just thinking maybe you could have a line that refers people to the resources and then ask the question so it could be listed as if you've read the materials, what are your thoughts, and then if you haven't, here they are, and then ask what your thoughts are or something similar to that. Right. Yeah, exactly. Right.  Just to remember, the more material in a survey that people have to read and then react to, at least in my experience, the less people will want to go and take the survey because it then takes up a lot more of their time. You want to survey that simple to understand, simple to react to, and it does not take up a lot of the person's time. I mean, when I get a survey, if it's any more than five minutes to my time, forget it. I don't want to do it because it involves too much. But on the other hand, you know, I've been involved with surveys that do, in fact, say, hey, read this and then react to it. Now, am I happy doing a survey like that? No. But there are surveys that are like that. Yeah, it seems like we shouldn't make that the sort of primary focus. It's more about like what have, what do you know from your own lived experience and what you've heard or from what you've learned, whether it's from a research report or something that you learned elsewhere, you know, I think providing the link, if people do want to respond to it, they can go ahead, Alexis. Yeah, I was just thinking, as Dr. Rose was saying that, like, well, first of all, I took the agent dementia quiz. And for something that's supposed to be about agent dementia, it's 74 questions long. And so I'm, I was like, wow, for like, I can't imagine someone who actually has dementia, like taking this, right? Yeah, they forgot to take the survey. Oh, sorry. Yeah, I don't know this. I can hear somebody's thing on, but so it was, it was making me think a lot about like that. And God bless this work because it needs to be done, you know, but it's like, I, I'm thinking exactly of what Dr. Rose is saying and thinking about, I, like, I know that people are going to be sharing their opinions, knowing that they are unformed, uninformed, but I think that, you know, even just the people who are willing to show up to like the brown bag thing, for example, like are saying like, oh, I'm uninformed about the subject. And so I, da, da, da, da. And so I'm wondering if there's a value in, in having, in, in knowing how much of our community is completely uninformed about this subject. And then I think that if we can, I don't know, get some sort of demographics about that. Then I think we might actually have an idea of what neighborhoods are, you know, well, I, I, yeah, I think that there, there might be some important demographics in terms of just who is completely uninformed about this subject because I know for a fact that there's going to be people who are going to, regardless of whether or not they read the thing, they're going to be saying their opinions. And so even that I feel like it's not what we're asking for, but I feel like that is still, that's reality and that's valuable information in the end. So I think that I, I'm almost thinking, is it worth it to have a question about like what people would be willing to engage with?  So I don't know, I think that maybe having some sort of thing about like, what is, what is the best way to get out and from, well, okay, I don't know. I don't know. Something about how, how are we reaching people? How are we, how are they receiving information? And what is the best way to engage them with this information? I don't know something like that. Yeah. Yes. Yes. So I kind of see that almost like down on the third objective. Like it's not just a tool to engage the community, but it's actually trying to like figure out how we might, how people might engage with this work and this body of research and knowledge and lived experience that's out there. Yeah. Yeah. I really like that. Yeah. Yeah. Pour myself having. Conducted surveys and constructive surveys. I. Really think that it would be invaluable. To get carry in on this in relationship. To. Constructing a survey. She has a huge amount of expertise. And, and, and that whole Donny. As soon as a huge amount of expertise then. Constructing surveys of all kinds. And they would be really helpful. To us. So I think, you know, if just we're coming back to the budget that we have available to us right now. There was a holdover from last year. Excuse my dog in the background. There was a holdover from last year of approximately, I think at least $6,000. I think we've only used about a little over half of that. For our black census work so far. So if the group would like me to get a formal. Quote or proposal, I guess that it would be called from. Curry since I've already had a preliminary discussion with her. We're having this discussion. It's not going to hurt or cost us anything to get a proposal. To see what would it cost. For curry and the group that she works with. To help us. Build this. So we could. I don't even think that we really need to take a motion to do that. If folks are inconsistent. We would need to make a motion to approve it if we got one, but to get it, I don't think we need to. Yes, or. You know, the thing is if there are, you know, there are definitely going to conduct over funds when that's 6,000. And even, even that, if we really need it more. We do have access to other funds. Yes. We do. I've sort of been thinking about that $206,000 as like. Funds that. We would build on to actually. Direct reparation benefits. But I think like we talked about from the very beginning of this process, we do need money to make this happen too. So I agree with you, or that. Yes, Alexis. I guess I'm wondering if, and this is like, no, like this is, this is just me bringing this up out of the blue. Is it a part of our mission at all as the AHRA that when we are employing or hiring or paying for services, are we intentionally trying to look to hire black folks? Oh, sorry, I was muted.  Of course. You know, and we can ask the same question of Donahue and relationship to their staff in terms of minority status with those can, but of course, I mean, you want to get the information and data and you want the people who are well trained who are able to do this. So and if they're out there and they're black, brown or whatever, if they're out there, which I assume there are people within the Amherst community, you know, given that we have the University of Massachusetts and the various departments who specialize in this, that there have to be individuals out there who can do this kind to build this kind of survey. We just need to find if that's going to be a crack. We can find them. We can find them and if not, we can have the Donahue as to subcontract with them. And the reason for subcontracting with them because some folks may not have the financial ability or corporate or other kind of ability to do this on their own and float to work without and wait for their payment to come, whereas Donahue could. Yeah. And I, you know, I was just pulling up the Donahue Institute because I had learned, I thought from Carrie and maybe I'm not remembering this correctly, that I thought the new executive director of the Donahue Institute was, did identify as African American and was What's his name? I don't know. And that's why I'm trying to look here. And I can't remember who told me this. And of course it's you never know how somebody identifies. So it looks like. Okay. It looks like this is the new executive director. But what I learned, whether it was from Carrie or somebody else is that somebody in the top leadership at Donahue Institute was very, very interested in our project in particular because they identified as African American and wanted to do more work in that area. So I have to remember or ask Carrie where, you know, where's my mind? Where did I get that information? And maybe I'm just mixing it up with something else, but I pretty sure it was here. So, but to the point, I think that, that Carrie might be a good resource for us to just ask that question to are there any African Americans in the team that you're on or the other teams at the Donahue Institute that could work, that could be assigned to this particular body of work. Or we can put and we end or we can put the word out to see if other folks know of African Americans. I'm not sure what people feel about staying local in terms of hiring consultancies or moving beyond the local area. I do wonder if our new crest director and I don't know when our DEI director, Jennifer is set to come if we don't have, we haven't gotten that far yet. But yeah, so, so with that in mind, would a good next step be for me to speak with Carrie and see, ask that question and then also just ask for a light proposal based on what we've talked about to see just what they would come up with in terms of how they might be able to help us. Exactly. I agree. How about Holla and Alexis, does that seem reasonable? Okay, great. And so just I, Alexis, thank you so much for taking that age friendly and dementia survey. I have been trying to get to it. And wow, 72 questions. I mean, it's a beautiful survey. I can already tell, but it's like, that's a lot. Did you take it, Jennifer? Yeah. I have copies here. Okay. Yeah. It's a lot. And that is one of the things that concern me. And the other thing is when you have surveys that have that many questions and you kick out three other, you know, like there's other surveys from the town coming out, you know, I think that's one of the things that, to me gets to be a lot for folks. Absolutely. So we want to be mindful of that. Yeah. I guess part of it is just how we deliver it. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'll be curious how they do the listening sessions as they move forward with that. And I think that your idea, I keep coming back to your idea, Jennifer, over and over about recruiting stakeholders from sub communities. To promote and distribute the survey. I think that that is really the best. I mean, we all listen to the people that we love and respect in our communities. And so if we can figure out how to do that. You know, one of the things that I just wanted to get general consensus on from this group is that. You all have a comfort level with Jennifer and I sort of in between meetings, doing some of this kind of brainstorming and things to bring back to the group. Because some of this like to, to figure out.  So Chris is going to do something very similar where we'll have ambassadors from the actual communities and neighborhoods that we're trying to reach out to the most. So could use it as an example, or perhaps we could work together. That'd be fantastic. Yeah. Absolutely. So. If it did other than what we've talked about, this is sort of a good starting point. It sounds like I will send this to Carrie when I ask her to work on a proposal. If there's anything that we still have a little time here. I don't think we have anyone in the audience. Jennifer, do we have anyone in the audience? I can't tell when I'm sharing the screen. Okay, so we will want, I'm going to actually pause and just call for public comment so that we make sure that we do get to that. So let's see here. During the public comment period, the chair will recognize members of the public when called on, please identify yourself by stating your full name, pronouns and residential address. Residents are welcome to express their views for up to three minutes at the discretion of the chair based upon the number of people who wish to speak. The HRA will not engage in a dialogue or comment on a matter raised during public comment, but we will listen carefully. So if you would like to offer public comment, please do raise your hand now. I'm going to stop this for a second. And excellent. And Jennifer will let L M. I think it's Lauren Mills, but we'll find out. And. Yes. Hi. Good afternoon. Yes, Lauren Mills. I'm 12 long metal drive. She her pronouns and I just have a short question. Thank you for all your work. First of all, and my question to the HRA would be what is the specific timeframe and people that the HRA is trying to bring forward to address this too. That would just be very clarifying. And thank you. Thank you, Lauren. And I just, I really want to. Just acknowledge the communications that I have received. And I think. Jennifer moisten has received from Lauren and. Just really acknowledge and honor all of the thought that Lauren has put into our work. And one of the things that we need to really do soon is to. Decide about additional resources to go on to our website. And put them into a format that we can vote on to get them on. And I think Lauren has provided some really wonderful resources that I would like to see go in there. So thank you, Lauren. We will, I've written down your question. And yes, sir. So I just want to make sure I get this out there because I forgot to say it. In terms of finding an African American relationship to doing the survey. One has to keep in mind that we have. Huge school of your university in Massachusetts. And there are students, doctoral students who are coming to the end of their studies. Who are searching for a research topic. As I was. You get near the end of your coursework. You say, Oh my God, I got to do. And this may be a research topic. Where the person would be able to come in and help. In relationship to the survey. Again, the Donnie UN Institute would have. Definitely have access to those students. And I'm assuming that they're already on staff or their consultants too, or whatever. To the Donnie. Yeah. Okay. So I'll make sure that I. Or maybe what I'll do if it works for you is I'm going to draft an email to go to carry and I'm going to send it to you. If you could just review it and make sure that I've covered all the points. If everyone's okay with that. And then I'll get it out to curry. And then hopefully by the time we meet again, she is so wonderful in terms of her turnaround time. We'll be able to bring some answers back to the group. At our next meeting. Yes, definitely. We'll do. Awesome. Okay. Any other comments or thoughts right now about. The community survey. Let me just see if I make sure I covered everything. So in terms of upcoming agenda items. And meeting schedules. We're, we've definitely been having challenges finding the right items. So I'm going to finish your sentence. I just, can you email me what you shared on your screen? Because I need to incorporate that into a packet somehow. Yes. And then when you're ready, I, there are community events that I think it would be helpful that the AHRA attend membership wise as community members, not, you know, not to be in the community. So I think that that would be helpful as well. Yes. Let's. So why don't we do this with a bit of time we have left. Let's talk quickly about our schedules and meeting and our cadence for meeting and all of that kind of thing. And then Jennifer will make the announcements about the upcoming events. And also to say thank you for those of you who are able to be in the community. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I think everybody here was, and it was really, I think it was really great. I got a lot of great feedback from that. And it was a good opportunity for us to just share with folks, what we were doing. So I look forward to doing more of that. So in terms of scheduling. Is this time. A good time. For folks. I think it's just better than Thursday. Yeah. This is definitely the best time for me. Any other time during the week. Is a no go. Okay. And how early on Mondays can you meet her? What's the earliest time you can start meeting? Not before breakfast. Okay. But like three o'clock you can do. Okay. Three o'clock. Okay. So, but basically the afternoon. What about you? Is your schedule on Mondays in the. Good. Okay. Alexis. I will just say that. It's tight for me. Because I have another meeting. At 4pm. But that's only for the rest of like the semester, like once the students leave, I won't have that. So I think that's the best time for me to start meeting. I think that's the best time for me to start meeting. So. If we could do it before four, that would really help me out. Especially because after four, I'm running the town council meetings and today it's like at 530. So it's a little bit of a crunch time.  So if we, if we need to do it on a Monday, if it could be before four. That would be really helpful for me. Great. Yeah. That works really well for me too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that generally Mondays were good. So Yvonne was away this week. Yvonne did plan to come last week at 430. So I just want to note that. I feel badly we had to cancel, but it happens. And Yvonne did say that they are available to come next week. But they had to check times. So it sounds like maybe. 430 to 330. Our meetings like our hour, hour and a half better than getting into those longer. For me, it seems like when we focus, we do better than when we have like 10 things to do over a longer meeting and we get tired. Great. Okay. Okay. type thing. So I will check with Ivan and Dr. Shabazz. I know that Jennifer means that that's in the middle of your sort of normal work day. And it's a Monday, which also, I think, I mean, the night meetings are, you know, so I think that's a good point. And the lesser of clue, as they say dinner at a reasonable time, you know, right. All right, so I'll send an email about that. If we can try to meet next Monday, the 28th, hopefully we'll have some information to bring back if I can. I can even try to see if curry is available to join with us. I do have the folks from the stolen beam series set to come I think it's April 4. That was a request of the HRA. I'm going to also ask Matthew Andrews who has an educational program that he would like to offer. So I'll kind of put those all together in that meeting for folks who we want to talk to about educational programs. I will note that the Jones library reached out to the stolen beam folks at the JCA asking if they could run a stolen beam program through the Jones. I requested to devora and Jeff, who are the keepers of that body of work that they ask the Jones if we could do that in partnership if we do indeed decide to use that as one of our educational tools because I think it will be more helpful and clear for the community, as opposed to having, you know, one thing happening over at the Jones that we may also be doing I think we'll be able to sort of get more people involved. If we're reaching out to our constituents both through the Jones and through our own channels. So that so I'll have more information about that. Yes, or are we talking about 230 next week Monday. Yes, the 28th. Great. Okay, so just keep an eye out for the time though because it will be either 230 or three I'm going to check with Yvonne and Dr Shabazz and just make sure to see what works for them. And, and, and we'll go from there. And this will mean a tight turnaround for Jennifer to get a meeting posted so I'll make sure I get, you know, everything over to her. And if there are no other questions or comments. I'm going to wait one more moment to check. Everyone meet Earl Miller. Oh, Miller. This is the AHRA. Hi, Earl. He was just there in the background source like we might as well just introduce some. Congratulations and welcome. We're very excited to have you. I will let him know that you said that. It'll teach him to walk behind stand. Yeah. All right, great. So any other comments or questions before we go. Thank you. This is really productive. Thank you so much for being here. And, and we will see you I'm journeying at four 54pm. Bye.
