Okay, folks, we're going to take a look at this Treasury bond just like we did yesterday. Repetition is the mother of knowledge, so you want to remember these things because they do work out really well. A 135 pattern has two components. It has lower tops, lower bottoms. That's on the downside. There's also an upside of this if you wanted to do that one. But there's your first high, second high, and third high. You notice the time is 24 trading days between those two that's coming in yesterday or today. And you can see spot on. Now, the last time we had a rally here, we rallied 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 days. This time we rallied 13 days just like we did here. This was a 13-day rally. This 13-day rally didn't get anywhere near what this one did, which was telling you that you had some weakness coming into the market. And if you look at the price swings from your high down to your low, going to come in right at the old 50%, well, almost exactly about 61% retracement here. And the number we were looking at was 2208, as I recall. You'll be able to see it. There was right there, right in the money. This where you want to be looking at it somewhere between 122 and 1208. We were looking at 1202. It's down $5, $600 in that level. So you'd be at a break-even point on this one if you were watching. That's why we're watching it so very closely. Now, the chairman of the board there, Mr. Powell is out there talking, beating the bushes about all the stuff that's going on in the world. And I'm sure that's making the markets move around quite a bit. Gee, it's like a love fest watching him on TV. My goodness, they adore that man, which they probably should. Another big one here. We had another one here that was lined up pretty nicely. Let's get this up here. I want to get the daily chart up here for the four hour. This is the gold market. Oh, what happened? Something's not right. The front door and raise the rent. I don't know what caused this. Okay, here's the gold that we're looking at right here. We made another new high up here. Those of you that were listening to us last night, I believe we had this pattern that we were looking at. We'll get this over here. There was, we had the ABCD measuring here to 2167. The high was 2172. It backed off just a little bit. Only about $18, which of course is the harmonic number. And if we went back to one of these old lows here, that was probably a spot on 618 retracement here of what we're looking at right here. So let's move on one second and we'll see what's going on with some of these others here. And we've got some pretty good action moving on here in the market. So let's get moving here and see where we are with some of these other things that we've got. Hold on one second, folks. My alert has come on and I want to make sure that I have everything lined up the way that I wanted to have it lined up. So we're all right there. Okay. Now this is the bonds. We've already covered that. Now we've covered the gold. Now the gold is probably topping up in here. But remember this thing could possibly on the weekly chart go a whole lot higher. That's why you've got to be really super careful. See, it's made a new high, which is okay, but it still has an objective out here a little bit higher. We were thinking that it would hold this level so far. It has that 67 is what we're looking at. The high has been 72. That doesn't mean that it can't go. What you do is you try to get your what do you call your loss level down to a point where you don't have to risk virtually nothing at all. And that's what you want to be looking for. Okay. So that's it. There are a lot of things happening today, folks. In fact, I just noticed here that the S&P has gone right back up to the old high again. And it looks like it's ready to go above this level here to get somewhere about this one 1.618 number at 5164. The Dow Jones is still a lagging behind, but not by much. It's catching up rapidly here trying to do six things at once. Here is the Dow Jones. You'll see here the Dow Jones has just made a lower low here for just a bit. And now it's rallying back sharply along with the rest of the market. And that's it. There's a very important pattern here in the Dow Jones today, folks. Remember, the Dow Jones is not so much affected by the AI stuff. So if you look at this hourly chart, this is really what's happened here. You can see the ABCD pattern that we had here. This was the high that we made back on the 23rd of February. We made a beautiful ABCD down here two days ago on the 5th. And what we're doing now is we're making an ABCD move right up here, 389.75. That's another 150 points from where we are right now. Could we make that in a heartbeat? Wouldn't take much at all. You can see the first rally back was like this. Second rally back would be almost the same thing. It's just repeating over and over again. So I have to take a short sale up here at this level because that's everything that I look for. Here again, here's a perfect example of that 135 pattern. Let's just get it up here. And we'll see it right here. Hold on one second. And we've got it right here. Bear with me here one second. There's where we are. Okay, there's the first high. This doesn't look like the high lines up very nicely, but we're going to try it. There's your ABCD. Now that doesn't come in until Monday. So it might not get up to that level, but that's what you'd like to see from high to high to high. We'll have to see where it is at that time. But right now there is an ABCD scheduled to come in at 389.75. So we'll watch that as we follow some of these others. Now let's get to where the pedal meets the metal. I've got to put these in order here so that I can bring up the wheat because this is the one that we've been waiting for for a long time. And you know what? We are still waiting. Here is the daily chart of May wheat. Okay, now as we look at this, you'll see and move this over. Now this is where the big money is going to be right in here, folks. We made a lower low today at 28. Okay, we rallied up to 59. Seven cents. We're back down near the lows of the day. We got a big report tomorrow. Okay, you don't want to do anything to that Friday report. I am going to recommend not put any orders in until Monday or Sunday night. Probably Sunday night is where I'd be looking. Sunday night or Monday. We might have to pay a higher price for it. I don't think so because the whole world is so bearish on wheat that you can't believe it. This is a, if you want to get, even with Vladimir Putin, whatever Putin's first name, I don't even remember. Pedro? No, it's not Pedro. Well anyway, what is it? He's a consularia of Putin. He is heavily short the wheat market. He's pounding the wheat market to hurt Ukraine because they don't get their grain money from them and the prices keep collapsing. And that's really why the wheat market is breaking down so badly. There was a big article that Rich Anderson sent me. He paraphrased it for me and that was basically it. But we're looking at time and patterns and this is what we're watching here, coming in here with this wheat, which will be very, very shortly. What we'll do is we'll watch from behind. There's a big lunar cycle coming in here on Monday. That's the full moon. And you'll see the last time we came down, it was for 17 days. And this next one coming down, it's only going to be about 10 days. So we're watching it here on the 10th and 11th. There's your new moon coming in here on Sunday, the 10th, 10th and 11th, okay?

We've got a request. It's an hourly chart going over the last eight days. As you can see here, we're seeing that same pattern that we looked at in the Treasury bonds. There's your first high. There's your second high. There's your third high. Okay, what we're going to do now is to measure to see if these swings are close from high to high. As you can see, 19 hours, 19 hours. The ratios. This happened to be exactly 3-8-2 off of this high. Let's see what it was off of the other high, which was right here. My guess is spot on 618. There it is, right there, right at the 50% level. So anyway, that's what you had a perfect one set up. And of course, it's had a big move down. And it's reaching the target levels as we speak right now. It's hitting down quite a bit. The target on this, of course, would be this swing right here, your A-B-C-D leg coming in right about now. We're just a tad below it. So we're really close to that. Move this over a little bit and you'll see it. Well, we've just been going up for quite a bit here. And look at the beautiful. I haven't even seen this. I looked at it today for the first time, but this thing has been going up here for well over two and a half weeks now, three weeks. So this is a good sign going up now. We want to look for, guess what? A 382 retracement. Let's just clean this up here since we're looking at it. I'm looking at so many things with the grains and the stocks and the crude oil and the gold. It's just, here's our 382 coming in right here. This is going to be a really important one here. So put your limit mind or anywhere. We're only two bucks away. We're going to hit that here today. So watch this very, very closely here. I want to make sure we watch this closely. To me, this would be, if you were short this, I would be certainly getting out of it, that 382 now, because if that's really a good one, it's going to be pretty good. As we went up, you'll see we had some really big moves and they only backed off. You see the first swing pulled back right to the 50%. The second one pulled back to the 382. The next one pulled back to the 382. The next one missed the 382. And now we're getting ready to finally get one right here at this level right here. So keep a close eye on this. It's only $2.50 away. That would make a very interesting one. And we have a, of course there's a high in here so you can't really, can't count this because that's the highest high. So your ABCD is already completed and all we're looking at is a retracement down into this level right here. And this is a pretty good retracement folks because this is larger than anything we've had in the last, let's put this up here since this thing started down. It's larger than any swing that we've had until this one we have today. So that's another reason to tell us, watch for this, probably not today, but well, there's two hours to go. So I'd still be watching it at this level right here. I missed this one here. As I look at these in retrospect, I can see some really nice, you know, beautiful little three drive to the bottom there. Way back, I can't remember what we were talking back with on the 16th of February so much. Well, that was a bad day for me because that was a day after JT passed away. Anyway, I have his funeral tomorrow. A couple of nice friends are coming in from one from Canada and the other one from Puerto Rico. And we're going to visit a little bit and have some memories and probably shed a few tears but boy, he was a sure standup guy. All right, let's move on here to the next one. Someone's asked a question here about this S&P because how strongly do I feel about this A, B, C, D? I feel very strongly about it. The problem is it's went a little bit higher but not very much. About this level for sure. You know, that's really what you'd be watching. How high did it get? 16 and a quarter? Something like that. I think it's certainly, you know, tradeable. Let's just move on here. What we'll do is we'll come up right up here and move this out of the way and come right over here like this. Hit the button and we'll just do a couple here. So I'll do it to market. Okay, and then what we're going to do is we're just going to put a buy stop in here. Five points and it's buried with me here. Put it right above the 618 there. Boom and that's buried. That's as low as risk you can get. We'll make that a GTC and boom and a bing, but a boom and there you go and we'll see what's going on. Okay, anyway, that's what I'm watching here today. It's, you know, it's an ABCD pattern. A person should trade all ABCD patterns no matter what.  Sometimes that's not good.  So you've got to be really careful when you're dealing with that one, okay? All right, let's move on here to the next thing that we want to talk about and that is the Japanese yen. I have several requests about this today. Only take me a second to pull it up here. Here is the, nope, that's the Euro yen. I want the dollar yen. Hold on one second. It's going to be right here, okay? Having some action over here finally. This is frustrating and I'll tell you why. We really wanted to sell this thing at 151.28. We only got to one, we missed this by 30 pips and let's look where we are now. We've come all the way down. We've dropped 300 handles or, you know, that's 300, three grand is what's that's dropped so far. Okay, all right. So we missed that by just a little bit. That's nothing you could do about that. You can see it goes sideways for all this time period. The only thing you can do and that is to go down to a smaller timeframe like the hourly and try to find something in an hourly pattern that would give you that type of move. And the only thing that I can see and look at this, now you've got some lower tops coming in here. You can see you have, these are higher tops, okay? This is where we just missed it. Now you have a lower top here and a lower top here. And you can do, oh, we've got a winner here in the room. Let's see what it's all about here. We've got Michael from Niagara Falls asking about the S&P. What can I do for you, Michael? Yeah, hi, Larry. It's the 15th anniversary of the March 6, 2009 famous bottom. And I was thinking, do you think maybe, just maybe we're making some kind of a cycle trend change today? Or at least this week, which is an inverse of the March 6, 2009 low. Because if you notice, the market dropped off pretty sharply early in the week and then it reversed and they bought the dip, made a new high and I'm anticipating it is another fade. They just fade again and then next week, we just, we really start down hard. Michael, I've had very little luck with anniversary dates and I had the fortune, the good fortune of working with Mr. 20 men for 58 years and his whole thing was anniversary dates. And he gave up on that back in 1988 because he would see some of them, but they were so irregular that it was really nothing that they could use and so he just didn't do it anymore and that was the reasoning behind it. So I know it's a big anniversary date that came in on March the 5th and we also had a little bottom there in the round the 9th, but what I'm looking at is we do have that lunar cycle and the trouble with the astrology is it's like anything else. It only works part of the time. So I think there might be a turn coming, but this thing, it should have turned. Well, it hasn't really violated it yet with the NASDAQ, but boy, it's very close to taking out that high that we made last Friday. It's the August of 2009 where it just kept going down. Everybody was bearish, bearish, bearish. Yeah, that's right. And then you had the short-covering rally. This is the August. Well, we'll see. Everyone's bullish, bullish, bullish. Okay? Yeah. All right, we'll see what happens. Stay tuned. Call in if it starts to work. Okay, buddy? Gold report. As a precious metal, gold is still king.

What you're trying to do is to find a place where if you really believe you want to get short in here, the only thing you could do, first of all, you could draw a trend line like this and if it breaks that trend line that says, okay, I want to get short. That's one way of getting in. The second thing is to wait for 3-8-2. Now you notice we're going to blow this up so we can see it. This is a really heavily traded foreign exchange and if you look at it here, blow it up here. There's your ABCD to the...  Problem is when it jumps around, it changes prices. There's your ABCD to the downside. Now, after you make that ABCD, you see this rally that took two hours? What I would do is I would go down to a smaller time frame and see if that there it is right here. You can see it coming down. There's a move down. What I would be watching for to see if that was a 3-8-2. Here was the ABCD coming down. There's the rally right here. You go back to your high. Make sure we get it, which would be right over here. There was your high and you come down to this next low that you made the ABCD and there's your two hour rally right into that 3-8-2 right there and then you have another one and another one and that's why you've been heading down. I hope that gives you some idea of what we're looking at here when we look at some of these currencies. Now, we should look at the dollar index because it has gotten creamed. We mentioned that it was getting ready to get creamed just the other day because we were at 104 and having a great deal of trouble and as you can see Troubled in River City has reared its head. There we are. 104 was a 61% retracement and now we're coming down but you notice as we look at this you can see we're making an ABCD pattern right now. So let's just measure let's just go to the hourly so we can see it just a little bit better here. There's where we are on the downside. You're going to be able to see it coming down. There it is. Let's just clean all of this out and watch the little ABCD patterns unfold. There's your first high right here then you have the ABCD structure that takes you right up to there which is a 61% retracement draw it in so it doesn't look like this is real cash money folks. So it comes within two pips of the exact high and now we're coming down here and we're making an ABCD to the downside. We'll draw that in and you'll be able to see everybody's getting super bearish at probably the wrong time because we're getting close here 102.67 looking at this back on the daily chart you'll be able to see it really clearly as we move together here and we're going to draw the whole pattern in clean it up just a bit go from the low back here 102.67 there's your ABC well it's going to come in here right there 102.26 is going to be the 61% retracement so that's going to be really and super important and if we move this over just a little bit ooh well it can't be ahead in the shoulders because there's no symmetry here there's a left shoulder right shoulder but there has to be symmetry in other words the distance between the shoulder the head and the shoulder has to be equal and this isn't even close to that all this is an ABCD move to the downside of what you're looking at right here so that's what we're watching here with this now someone's also asked a question about the British pound which we haven't seen in a while and please don't even think about buying this wheat folks until Sunday night or Monday this is our we won't because it's got a couple of lowers we got that big report tomorrow here is the British pound and as you can see we hit the 3A2s here several times right on the money look what we're doing now we're going up we're getting ready to take this out we're already exceeding the ABCD you can see that right now just draw this in that's another reason for the dollar to be weak you can see it's already exceeded way past the 78% level so that's why that dollar index is continuing to go lower we went through this like it didn't even exist so that's what we're watching in this dollar index pay attention to that 102.26 folks get below that there's going to be major major trouble in these darn things and then you'll have some real serious things that you'll have to you know walk through if you're in these currencies okay we have another question haven't looked at this in a long time this is the Hang Sing index and if you remember we had this big bottom down here at the ABCD level we've had the rally up you can see here is where we are remember there's a lot of things going on in China okay there was the ABCD to the downside you can see that clearly ABCD to the downside there's your ABCD to the upside there's your 3A2 right on the money now it's starting to back and fill here it's been two weeks and it hasn't collapsed a good sign for the folks in Hong Kong so what we'll do is we'll take a look at this move this over just a little bit like this and we'll see where we are from your low up to your high it's been to your 3A2 we're in the third day of testing that 3A2 this could be really interesting folks because there is a small ABCD in here and even though this market has been bearish for a long time the news is pretty much into the market so it's held up it really has three days in a row at this 16,100 so it's 200 points away below this suggests we're going to go a little lower ah ah ha stay tuned Billy Ray I see something important yo left shoulder right shoulder let's check the time frame here bada bing bada boom oh we're in the zone almost yes we're close okay there's your head and shoulders pattern right there there's your left shoulder right here 159 okay this is 160 okay there's your there's your game plan you see there's 15965 this is higher than that so this is a potential for a good head and shoulders pattern for three reasons a you've got really good time left shoulder right shoulder okay symmetry perfect well nearly perfect right at the 382 you're down ah one two three four five six seven eight nine ten days held up relatively well this has got a chance to have a rally so let's pay attention to that one if you trade Hong Kong I know I'm going to make a video tonight for our friends over there and we'll see how it all works out okay anyway that's what we're watching here with that and we'll see what's moving on to the next one here and I see the market is still rallying like a like the stripe and deer that it is hold on one second here folks want to get this out of the way and get these others out of the way here and we'll move this I think we just hit that there's a dollar index we got that out of the way we got this out of the way and we just hit the point six one eight expansion right there folks in the S&P at one six one fifty one sixty two fifty I think is the number we're watching so let's see if that's going to stop it that's the number that should stop it because if that doesn't stop it there's nothing going to stop it now let's just see if the NASDAQ has blown out though it has the NASDAQ has taken out the highs yep the NASDAQ has taken out the highs of our let's clean this up a little bit we'll do redo it anyway okay there's our high was right here at one oh it's quite a ways one eighty three seventy two eighteen thousand three seventy two we're

expecting that to happen beans are a little bit stronger we're watching the November soybeans of course they've had a pretty good run to the upside but the corn has also been moving good I believe we're making some type of a major bottom in here folks and believe me the one that is going to be the biggest well let's not say that Larry because you'd ever know that this wheat is so oversold that I haven't seen anything so oversold in a very very long time and from what I understand from listening to a rich Anderson who knows this stuff as good as anybody it's Mr. Putin who is pushing the prices down to make it tough for Ukraine to get money and that's fundamental stuff that I don't know diddly squat about but I thought I'd share it with you because I don't know what the hell is going on all I know is that I'm getting ready to buy it and I'm going to be buying it so I'm going to be buying it on Sunday night most probably unless Friday gets some type of a major washout where we get it at a level that I think would be giveaway prices well they're almost giveaway prices already remember it used to be 1350 a bushel now it's five under 550 a bushel are you kidding me I mean what kind of a discount is that you think the world is going to stop eating crackers cookies and cakes and bread I don't think so no I don't anyway this is December oil and it's going to be a long-term thing we're going to have a lot of what we call crop scares as we go through these years this growing year we haven't had any really major ones but we do have some that occur you know all the time and that's what we're going to be focusing on the other one that is really interesting is the soybean meal I keep bringing these up and the only reason I do it is we got to be prepared for them folks this is the soybean meal is hello SM where are you right here there's where we are there's your decent meal get this up here and you'll see here it's actually holding up a tiny tiny bit today but you know we still have a potential to go this slightly lower the main one has been made right here at 32 where we're trading just a little above it right now we're basically up on the day but near the lows of the day so not much going on in here I'm watching for a potential if this report is really negative that we coming in here on Friday I'm going to blow this up so we can see it here where we'd be watching this is the now this is a three drive pattern folks it's got all the things necessary that we like to see I'll be sending a video out on this definitely tonight because this is one that will be affected by the thing if we get a good break to the downside this is the one that looks really interesting there's drive one there's drive two there's drive three what we'll do is we'll just do the ratios first from your low up to your high there's our first buy signal right there three thirty down eight bucks oh hello operator shut the front door and raise the rent if you can't buy this one turn off the machine and don't listen to me anymore there's drive one drive two drive three three thirty one it's down seven bucks that's not unusual for it to break that much look at the number of times coming down we're right over a lunar cycle let's just double check the lunar cycle since we're right here and we've got time between the boys and girls here and we'll just get up here put up the moon phases on the bottom and we're going to see the last time well you can't see it because it's been coming down so much but we'll just draw it in okay your last time you had when you were right on the day from the low okay this one here was a day off the low this one here was a not really much going on here we got another one coming in right here I haven't checked the others but I'm not really worried about that I do patterns folks you know you give me this pattern I'm going to win eight out of ten times that's basically it the whole world's going to be bearish and they'll get it down to this level here and you know exactly what you have to risk you're going to buy it at three thirty one and you risk five dollars you put your stop at five twenty seven or five twenty five five twenty six so you buy it at five thirty and put a stop at five twenty five risk five hundred bucks become a farmer that's not so bad that's within the range of a day you know they have those swings all the time so let's let's play play close attention to that all right okay that's pretty much what we're watching here so let's move on and we'll see what is going on with everything else to the one second I want to see where the where this s&p is because I know I want to see this Dow Jones because it's starting to rally back up again with the s&p going above all the numbers now it appears that this one's going to be going up to to make this level here of three eight nine seven six so that's what I would be paying attention to here today I think it's going to get there today but we'll have to wait and see remember this is this is not related to the AI stuff very much the Dow Jones but it's you know it's been weaker look we're made new highs now in the Nasdaq are almost we made new highs in the s&p and this one's just barely approaching the 50% retracement of these other moves that it's just done so this is not this is not a scary one for sure I mean it's not going down but you know that's that's what we're paying attention to here today so what's this number here basically it's 39,000 is the number you'd be watching here right around 39,000 is where the resistance should come in at the 78% level of this move right here but again what it's doing you see we thought that that thing in the Nasdaq was going to work and it worked for two days and it didn't work anymore and that's what that's what happens with the pair am I disappointed hell no oh heck no the reason why I get disappointed all the time if I if I worried about getting disappointed on stuff that I do I would really be beating myself in the head okay so let's remind ourselves of that as we look at these things unfold okay so that's what we're watching here we got two minutes to go there let me check and see if we've got anybody in there no one's asking anything else about this but we have a Friday tomorrow there's probably another big event tomorrow let's get rid of the oil here because we want to be watching the grain report tomorrow we're going to be reporting on that ooh I won't be here tomorrow shut the front door I'll do the video tonight but I won't ooh who am I going to be no I'll be in the air I won't I'll just well we'll make it out you probably probably should wait till Sunday night to buy the wheat no matter what but I'm going to give you the numbers the number in the meal I'm going to take that I'll put that order in right after the close here today to buy the meal at three thirty on the Christmas meal and put a stop at three twenty five that's five hundred bucks but that's a three drive to a bottom pattern right over what we think is a pretty good cycle so we'll find out if that means very much or not okay let's check and see if the if the NASDAQ has made that high yet I know it's getting really close I got it I got to change this folks otherwise it's going to drive me nuts years ago we may oh we're way above the one point six one eight now you see what's happening here and we've we've exploded through the one point six one eight level so there's really nothing you can do to just think that that's going to be it because it looks like it's going to just continue to go up forever so and if it does that's the way it is so who knows I did see this last night folks I was fortunate enough I happened to be watching the Dow Jones hit this exact well I'll show it to you here because I happen to be one of the smarter things that I did last night in the middle of the night where is the Dow Jones it's right here there we go here's where we are move this over here last night there there it was last night will blow this up there it was setting right at the seventy eight percent level right here and I covered it right there unfortunately I put it back out up in here and I'm still in it so we'll see what happens so hey let's take a break here eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight next week Peter Lighty's on Tuesday Bob Miner Bob Miner on

Market broke pretty good. We got down, well, the number on the S&P was, of course, 51, wait, is it 51? Oh, dear. I forget 59. Let's just double check what it was. I forget the number. Forget the handles on them sometime. Where were we on the stop and P here? I don't even see it.  I don't know where it is. What is it? 59, 60? Yeah, 59, 60 is what it was. I believe, 151. Boy, this is where the heck is it? Cascade. Hold on a second here. Here it is. Yeah, it's 150. It was 151. 59 right over here. And we went above it by quite a bit. We're 151, 69. So we're still going higher. That thing that we did with the NASDAQ was so perfect. Okay, there it is right there and it didn't work. So you stand aside, you know, there's going to be another horse coming down the track, as they say, getting ready for the Kentucky Derby. But it worked for two days and that was it. And then boom, away it went to the upside.  There's going to be lots of tickets to buy and sell before that train makes its final destination, whatever it's going to be. And it is seems to be going higher forever. So forever could last a long time in here. This was perfect for it to go down. It went down two days and it didn't work. It might have worked for a short period of time, but it's not working right now. The only other one you have is the Dow Jones. And frankly, on a day like today with everything going crazy to the upside, I wouldn't even be well, I have to recommend doing that. Well, it's right there now.  We're almost right there right now. Nope, we're still 100 points away. 74 points away. 3,900 is that number right in here. If you want to do that ABCD, this shouldn't be affected by let's just do it on a smaller timeframe. You can see it a little better over over like this. Yeah, there it is. There's the one we're waiting to see. And that would take you up to this level right here. Now this just shouldn't be affected with the AI stuff, but there's so much emotionalism that who knows. So there's your number.  They've every day in an attitude of gratitude and


Eagles team team draft day day one. Could it get any better? What's up boys man the Eagles team team? Crazy night crazy night first night of draft man before I start let me know who's your NFL team Who did you guys pick? Who did you guys get? I want to show you guys something I added to the collection as well Got this Michael Vic Kelly green Eagles helmet. I'll be honest. I'm not the biggest Kelly green guy in the world But if you guys remember my real Eagles fans Michael Vicks first game where he went crazy on the Eagles They were the Kelly green jerseys against the Packers Like I said, I like the Eagles current jerseys better.

I'm listen Anytime you can add to the old line in the v-line that feels great But then you know probably 20 minutes later we trade From one of the best players in the NFL AJ Brown if you told me we would get AJ Brown for a draft pick Our 18th pick in the draft would turn to AJ Brown the Titans wide receiver.

This card is 97 speed I'll be honest boys. I wish he was a little bit faster. I really do. You know, I mean beautiful card art 96 break tackle can truck and juke everything Miles Sanders good player man.

Haste like doers. For some people, mild to severe anxiety is a fact of life. Psychology Today states that 31.1% of US adults alone experience an anxiety disorder at some point in their life, and globally, the numbers are on the rise. Anxiety was a means of being aware of your surroundings, to be able to ward off predators and survive. So while a healthy amount of anxiety is good, the issue arises when the anxiety becomes excessive and interferes with your daily life. So with that said, here are six little habits that you can explore to reduce your anxiety. 1. Concentrate your anxiety by focusing on one thing.   When this happens, pick one thing that's bothering you and give it 100% of your attention. Once you've picked your problem, make a list to see what is creating your anxiety about this particular thing. You can ask questions such as, where is this anxiety coming from? What about this makes me anxious? Is this rational or irrational? Through this, we discover that our minds can come up without landish possibilities when it's clouded by stress and self-doubt. By focusing on one stressor at a time, you can tackle that issue with more ease, increase your happiness and well-being, and boost your productivity. 2. Practice proper sleep hygiene. We hear how sleeping is important for you all the time and how you need to get a certain amount of hours of it. But with this busy life we have nowadays, we can become deprived of proper rest. We not only need to sleep more, but we need to practice proper sleep hygiene. Proper sleep hygiene can look different for everyone, but the main points are to limit screen time an hour or half an hour before bed and just after waking up. The blue light from our smartphones reduces melatonin, which affects our ability to sleep. A routine for winding down to sleep can include brushing your teeth, a nighttime skin routine, or a relaxing stretch sequence. Consistently going to sleep at the same time and waking up at the same time is a great help in reducing your anxiety. 3. Exercise. Besides the benefit of having a strong, healthy body, exercise is amazing for your mental health. Having a more physically active life is beneficial in the long term. It reduces anxiety symptoms which have a potent effect on the hippocampus, the region that regulates stress in the brain. With anxiety, you're either ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, but exercise puts you in the present moment and helps you to become more mindful. In a Harvard Health publishing research article, John J. Rady, MD, stated that exercise also decreases muscle tension, lowering the body's contribution to feeling anxious. 4. Break away and have some time to yourself. Having an anxious day is tough.   A habit that you can use to turn your anxious thoughts around is to take a break from your responsibilities and do something else. While you might feel inclined to go onto social media, try to limit your time on your phone. Instead, go for a walk outdoors and notice your surroundings. Meditate for just five minutes, focusing on slow, deep, long breaths. Maybe journal about your day so far. This break will give your mind a chance to cool down and for you to relax. In this moment of solitude, you become your only focus and you get some peace of mind. 5. List hypotheticals and act on them. For anxious people, our brains can get clogged with a flurry of hypothetical situations and they can all seem likely to happen. So, what can you do about this possible downward spiral? Say you're nervous about an interview or starting a new project. The next time you think, what if, grab a pen and write down the questions on your mind and try to be as specific as possible. When you see your worries written down, you'll start to see that some of the worries are just flaws in your logic. Your imagination being overactive in the scenarios you thought up are likely impossible. The next step is to pick one concern and create three actionable behaviors to help solve your problem. This also reduces your anxiety because these now tangible concerns become things you can control and work with. 6. Practice gratitude.  You are filled up with many thoughts and possible catastrophic outcomes and you may ignore all the other positive potential outcomes. A daily practice of expressing gratitude for anything in your life and soaking in the feeling of that gratitude is a great habit for reducing anxiety and bringing calm into your life. While expressing gratitude doesn't dismiss life's misfortunes in challenging times, it brings a healthy counterbalance to these facts of life and a good dose of perspective. So, do you think you'll try any of these habits? Outside of these suggestions, feel free to explore other habits. While some of these habits might work for you, others may not.

So the name of the program that we deliver here is the Environmental Technology Program. It's a two-year diploma program. It's delivered over 21 different courses, a total of 60 college credits. And the aim of the program and the goal of the program is to develop made in an innovative environment practitioners. The program's been running since 1987, so last year was actually our 30th anniversary. We have well over 150 graduates of the program now, and these graduates have found careers as environmental practitioners all across the world. Both in federal and territorial governments, but also private industry, in the organizations, institutions of public government that are described under the Land Claims Agreement. They're everywhere. And it's really great because the more alumni that we get that are out there working, we rely on them a lot as a program to come back in and teach for us in that. So they're a real strength of the program. So I don't really say we're a... I know the name sounds a little deceiving. It's called the Environmental Technology Program. Years ago, when our program was last reviewed, there was a suggestion to change the name of the program. And I was really dead against it because we have such strong alumni. And I felt that a different leaning program might make some of those alumni not feel so much a part of it. So we've kept the name. We are not the MIT of the North or the Caltech of the North, where we're not a pure technology type program. The students do learn about some technologies for sampling in northern conditions, especially in cold northern conditions. But I tell people we're more like a soft science type program. And the range of programs or the courses that we teach is really broad. So we do everything from applied math, very beginning, from the introductory ecology to fisheries and wildlife management marine biology, limnology, GIS, we have a GIS course, small engine repairs, survival skills on the land, a whole broad sort of selection of courses. And the idea is to do as much as we can for as many of the partners that hire our students. So, you know, again, when I talk to people what we do, we're trying to train for careers as environmental practitioners. And that's sort of a broad group, of course, of opportunities from being a wildlife officer, an environmental protection officer, a wildlife, sorry, a lands officer, technicians for their various institutions of public government. So it's sort of a broad spectrum. I tell people that after the two years, I don't know if the students are fully trained for any one position, but they're well-trained for a slew of positions. We run sort of a typical college format, classes start in September. The first semester ends before Christmas. We start our second semester in January, goes till the end of April. So two semesters per year, about 15 weeks per semester. The first thing we do in our program is students have their field camps. So they come back from the summer, and the first thing we do is we sort of pack up and go camping all together. First-year students, their field camp is more or less introductory field camp skills. So a lot of our students have camped and gone hunting their whole lives, but it's a little bit different when you're doing field camps with researchers and government organizations. There are certain protocols you have to follow and risk assessments you have to do. So we try to take them through that, how to plan, how to meal plan, how to purchase things, how to pack things when you get there, how to set up so the camp's going to be run safely. How do you balance chores between the camp members, stuff like that? So the field camp is a great way, especially for our new students, to sort of get to know each other. And it's a real benefit that our program has, I think over a lot of programs, is that in those first couple of weeks, our students bond in a way that is very difficult for other programs to bond. They also do their wilderness first-aid training, firearm, and firearms training at that time. Basically, to prepare them for all the other land trips we're going to do in field camps, we're going to do, it's important that our students have that wilderness first-aid training and firearm skills in case there's any issues with predators or animals. When they come back, we do an introductory ecology, specifically to northern tundra ecology, and then they go into things like math, communications, and another course called office procedures and management skills. For semesters, it gets off to a good start, but it's a difficult semester to get through, I think, for a lot of students. It's, in many cases, first year back in school. And so our goal is to get them through that first semester and remind them that the second semester gets more specific into work related to environmental studies and technologies in them. And yeah, we certainly had elders come out. This year we did invite somebody out, didn't quite work out. We do have our technician who is a local gentleman, lots of land experience and hunting skills, graduated the program from years ago. So he comes out sort of to fill that role. We have various people that come in and out of camp throughout the week. All three instructors here in our technician group, we also have usually a marine biologist from one of our partner agencies that have come out. We also have our wilderness first aid instructor come out. I don't think we've ever, I just think, I don't think a student has ever stayed back because we were unable to accommodate them. I can't. So we have the majority of the field gear for students, but we do ask students to have their basic clothing. It's ideal if they have their own sleeping bag and then toiletries, cutlery, things like that. But more or less all the cooking stuff, all the food, sleeping mats, foamy's, caribou skins, tents, all the fuel for the heaters and stoves, all that stuff is provided by the college. We do have stuff here for students who are unable to sort of get it one way or the other. I don't think we've ever had a student not come out of camp because we couldn't work with them. We've had one or two students who have lost 20 years not making it out to camp, something because they showed up today at camp and then told us they didn't have this stuff and we couldn't do anything. If they gave us advance notice, we've always been able to find them sleeping bags, clothes and stuff like that. Yeah, getting to know the students for sure. I think being in a field camp setting with students is a great, we're really fortunate as instructors because we get to see our students in a different light. We get to see how hard they can work when they need to work. We can see how they work under poor weather conditions because we always have bad weather all the way around at camp and how they respond to that. We can sort of pick up on those that are a little bit more outgoing and good at interacting with others and those that are shy and get to know the little ins and outs of their character and personality a little bit even maybe in their preferred teaching style or learning style. So I think just getting to know the students, people are asking you, what's the best part of your field camps? It's in the evenings playing cards and playing games and listening to them tell stories and jokes and the laughter. Our instructor tent is set up next to the large sort of communal tent and it's just great sometimes going to bed and you hear them laughing and laughing and just getting to know the students and getting to know that these are real people with complex lives just like you and I. Many of them have partners and kids and in fact I told all the instructors and they would back me up on this. I tell them it's very important for our students during this camp to get their wilderness first aid training because second most important and almost equally important is that they have a great time and they get to know each other and it's sort of like setting the hook and now they don't want to leave. Right now they'll put up with some of the courses that they're not so enthused about being here for like communications and office procedures but we sort of let them know there's another field camp coming up in April when the weather's nice and we have the skitties and there's snow. So we start and we end each of the two years over the course of the program we do four field camps two in the fall, two in the spring slash winter. Okay so our fall camps are I think probably typically late fall weather for a lot of southern Canadians where at night you might get a little bit of ice on the streams. It's cold, certainly goes below freezing. Up here it rains a lot or it can rain a lot. This year we had more snow than we've ever had and our field camps always take place the same week every year so it's not that we were late. We just had more snow. I think it snowed midway through the camp and that snow stuck around for the rest of the camp. So we had an unusual amount of snow. It's not typical. It always snows at least one day during the camp but usually it'll melt over the next two. So it's right around the freezing. Some years we get more sunny days than cloudy and rainy but a lot of years we get cloudy and rainy. So learning how to manage that and learning how to manage your attitude when the weather isn't so good is an important skill for our students too. Just learning to get along and not letting the weather dictate your mood and stuff like that. So I think there's a range of growth so some students coming here like the first couple of days I realize they're going to be a great graduate. They're a mature student, a disciplined student. They're going to not probably struggle too much throughout the program. They're going to be a great graduate. And then some students they come in and you can tell they're not necessarily right from high school but they're still young. Young in spirit maybe they haven't had the opportunities to develop certain I don't know parts of their character they're maybe not so independent or resourceful and it's those students who we often see and I think as an instructor I love seeing by the end how confident they start to get and they realize that they are a good learner that they're resourceful and the end of the program isn't necessarily the end of their either education or learning because they realize they have the tools and they have the skills to continue on as learners. So I love seeing that sort of maturity. I love hearing students saying my goodness I look at the work that the first years are doing and I think that was hard for me. And now look what I'm doing in my final semester look at some of the projects we're working on look at some of the courses and they get it. So there's that sort of awareness that they're really capable learners they've got that confidence to learn and I think one of the big words is resourcefulness they know they can if they don't know how to do something they're confident in their ability to learn it now. So I should give a little disclaimer I'm a graduate of the program and so a lot of the graduates in the program I end up being sort of close with because we're all alumni sort of friends we keep in touch I have no alumni list we keep in touch we're really fortunate a lot of our alumni when they're in town we'll visit the program and I've certainly heard phrases like life changing I've heard a number of our graduates say greatest choice and greatest decision in their life I changed their life changed the whole direction how much they love their careers how you know how grateful they are that there is a program like this around for them to take a program that gives them an education that leads them into careers where they're not just sitting in a cubicle they can go out on the land and interact with people in their communities interact with elders interact with researchers interact with other government people yeah they just I really get the sense that they love it and I know many of them have really exciting jobs you know working for some really great organizations on some really great projects from the new Canadian higher-tech research station over in Cambridge Bay we've had students go on work on icebreakers and research vessels and on glaciers we've had to work for most of the institutions of public government most of the Inuit orgs on great projects projects that need Inuit on them and leading them but not just Inuit but Inuit that can speak that the language that some of the proponents are talking and sharing and using and students that are educated enough to know what seems to be working what seems not to can sort of interact and talk with the researchers and some bureaucrats on a level that I think a lot of people who wouldn't take a science course like this would be able to so we just I just met with one last week actually we were in it was for a basically community consultations and oil and gas development in Nunavut and so they had QIA at it they had the old INAC or CERNAC was there QIA, CERNAC, Government of Nunavut ED&T was there and actually they had about ten different representatives from ten different levels of government three of them were graduates of the program and I think the only technical people only people there that had technical knowledge and were Inuit were the three graduates from our program so that was exciting for me to see the IRIS report release last I think it was Wednesday or Thursday night and one of the people hosting it another graduate of the program so our graduates are all over leading the way as environmental practitioners I think being great role models to younger kids realizing we can have these jobs in the future and we can do this for southerners that these are jobs that they can go to art college and get a diploma that will set them on a course where they can have careers these exciting areas I think one of the biggest challenges is just the level of education that the students come into so I think we've done a good job as a program communicating this to some of our employers and letting them know that we almost start in our program at square one we expect very few math skills I mean you have to have basic university for sure and almost zero science skills so we don't have students come in with the grade 11 and 12 academic science courses or grade 11 and 12 academic math courses so we realize that in many communities these courses aren't being offered so we try to accept strong students students that have shown strong academic skills and then do what we can as much as we can over the two years so that's how we're dealing with that obviously past historical traumas to people in the north are sadly plentiful and I think if you first come up here from the south as an educator you see people driving new skus and new boats and living in fancy houses and wearing whatever the fancy shoes are for the day and with their iPhones and I think all that stuff can hide from you the fact that there are still these traumas that are inter-generationally impacting up here for sure and I think those have caused a lot of students a lot of struggles I think caused issues regarding homesickness substance abuse issues just a lot that puts a lot I couldn't even fathom I've been in there for a long time I've written so many things and sometimes if I sit down and think about all the various things that have happened to the people up here over the last 150 years it's flipping overwhelming and it's very hard for us as instructors to truly understand on a day-to-day basis what our students go through and the things that they're dealing with dealing with them in their day-to-day lives but also dealing with an emotional and mental health basis too and we try to remind ourselves of that I try to remind the other instructors they try to remind me that the most important thing last night may not have been for them to answer the 20 questions that we gave them that they may have had some serious stuff happen at home and we need to understand that and really work with our students not make excuses for them but be a pathetic and accept where they're at and help them be a small part of that I don't know, I tell people this all the time too I don't know all the answers to some of the issues that are in it but I know part of it's education I don't know how big of a part it is but I truly believe that a good education can boost self-esteem help people and set them on a good career track and change lives I've seen it in students who come in here and I've seen their lives take off after the program I'm not saying it's just because of the program but the program's been a part of it for sure this is one of those questions where sometimes I feel if you want to know what indigenous education is I think we should let indigenous people to find that if you were to ask I mean, is indigenous education I think most people if you ask them just simply what it was they would say well it's teaching indigenous people about indigenous stuff their way of knowing the traditions the ecological knowledge but I think it can also mean for programs where that isn't the primary goal and that isn't the primary goal of our program I get a lot of people that apply in the springtime and they'll be like yeah, I want to take ETP because I really like hunting and I was like, you know, in my head I'm thinking well that's great that you enjoy hunting but we really don't have much in our program and it's like 1% of our program that's not really what we do it's I would be stretching it to say we are an indigenous education program I think though as an education program we have had many successes with indigenous men and women so I think there's something that works in the program where inuit men and women from Nunavut have done well in our program and they've enjoyed their time in the program so some of the things there that I think might cause that is that I think we're very open to our learners sharing any knowledge that they have and it could be knowledge of a very local nature it could be knowledge that they've read it could be knowledge that they've heard from you know their uncle Peter Lucy or something like that we really welcome in value these over the years we've gotten some really great little nuggets we also try our best to be very welcoming, accommodating, understanding I think one of the because I have certain little I call them couch passions things that I do are armchair passions one of the armchair passions I had even before I looked up here the Arctic and the history of the Arctic not so much the ecology of it but the people the traditions the exploration, the development of it the people of the Arctic right so how did the tunic get over here and how did the people why did the two leaf follow so long after and why were they so different very interesting last number of years with the influence of vitamins so I've always been really interested in this stuff and I think when I moved up here though I started hearing more of the colonial past I think having a really good understanding now I have a good book understanding I have no experiential stuff in this right but I have a really good book understanding how does that help it gives us a healthy sense of empathy and it certainly slows down your judgment of things that maybe don't seem quite right and I've heard this obviously I'm a white guy so other white people often speak freely to me not realizing that I'm not really where they're at and how they think these things and some of that stuff this is just really simple minded judgmental way too quick as you can tell they just they don't have a clue what's been going on here in the last 150 years so I think that helps me I think as an instructor I've had great bosses too supervisors I should probably say I hate it when I call them bosses here at the college that have worked here for years and years before I even came here and have given me really great learning points I guess one was when I first started teaching I wasn't teaching here in a small community up Island and I was like a week or two in and I was getting a little exasperated by the fact that my students weren't really showing up on time they didn't seem motivated to learn and I remember I was talking to my boss and I was explaining this to her and she goes do you realize Jason that for some of your learners just waking up and getting to your learning center and accomplishment for a lot of them that's where they're at just be glad that they come and when they're there do whatever you can don't worry about whether they're there full schedule time just do what you can some of those things that sort of set me I guess maybe set me straight in a different perspective a bit extremely helpful I didn't even know my students do it's just the other thing it's a small town regardless of what people say about the Caliwood for me it's still a small town and we bump into each other all the time in the community and it's important for the students to see me also as a member of the community it's important for me to me it's important that they see me with my wife and my children they see me doing other things and in the community I'm a community member they know not to ask me about homework I will never ask them about their homework they don't ask me and it's just sort of the importance of getting to know each other on a personal basis too and not just as a student I've heard people say well down south if you go to a big university you're just the number or something you hear this a lot that is totally not here about our students and of course there are some students that you care about more than others because quite frankly maybe they need more caring than others and some have good support of families here and just before you came I actually had one of the first years come and share something that's going on in this family and I was really grateful he did because now we'll get if there are some things where maybe he's not focused in class or maybe his assignments are a little bit delayed which is uncharacteristic behavior for him maybe we'll get it but it's nice to be able to get to know your students like that I'm going to give you a broader answer and then I'll focus on the program if you don't mind my broader answer would be this and that technology allows for the academic development of curriculum across the university so that there is more emphasis on the math and sciences not I don't think it's a game theory where if one area wins another area has to lose so the fact that we put more time into math and science does not mean that we put less in the language need to do language development and culture we've got to stop thinking that way but there are so many exciting careers that are completely lost to youth in this territory now because too often they're not given the very basics through the K-12 system to move forward in a math or science field those STEM areas of science, technology, engineering and math and those careers are going to be some of the most exciting careers now in the future I think they're going to be even more and I think a lot of those careers I think what's really exciting about them a lot of those careers don't need you to be in a specific place with technology and the internet video conferencing the way collaboration goes on in the world today you can actually have one of those careers sitting in Repulse Bay you can have one of those careers sitting in Kimmerwood or Clive River it's a decent internet you can do this stuff, you can do coding you can write things, you can collaborate in projects you can design, you can engineer and I hope none of it starts seeing the importance of those STEM areas and really starts pushing it because I think like I said our youth are sort of being lost to a lot of these and I don't see graduating with them and I know just from the students coming to our program there's a lot of work to be done there so that's overall in the program and this isn't just my vision this is the vision that the college has and I think it'll happen much quicker than the next 10 years I would say I would be shocked if this doesn't happen in the next three to five years I think the ETP program will continue to exist the reality is our program after two years has graduates go on to exciting careers and industry still needs ETP grads so ETP grads are still going to be needed but our industry partners are saying that there's other careers that currently can't be felt by ETP grads because they need a bit more training they need a degree say that's the minimum requirement so the college does have a short slash medium term plan to have a post diploma option for our graduates to go on to do a bachelor of science and that's what we're going to be starting work on very soon actually we've probably exchanged some information already moving in that direction but this year we should really be starting that process and I'm very hopeful in the next two to three maximum five years we will have a post diploma bachelor of science program that'll be delivered primarily here in Nunavut maybe not in this building maybe not in the Kelvin but that graduates of the program current graduates and past graduates all those alumni that we have if they wish continue their studies and get a degree, a science degree and so I'm really excited about that I'm also excited though to strengthen the program to continue to strengthen the environmental technology program I think as the technical skills of students coming in the program seem to be getting better and better we can strengthen our program more and more as population grows and our applicants grows in our program and we can be more selective and so to just up the program little by little I've said before and I think I think it's a pretty accurate statement that the academic skill level of my classmates back in 1996 isn't what I see in the students today in 2018 so that there's been the bar has been upped so that there's higher entry requirements or the typical incoming student is more academically skilled Is there anything else you would like to add? When I see the questions just so I hope that at this part helps I've brought on the ones that you discovered any questions? Thank you So a lot of your questions I noticed too were almost written more for indigenous educators so as you can tell I'm probably not an indigenous educator I don't know if we can ask this for you I mean like overall you are an educator and you have been for a long time so And I appreciate that but I also appreciate that both of you is completely different and although I wish I could understand certain things better and I think I try to and I try to reflect on this stuff I'm never going to have that shared life experiences that's on me of my own students I was fortunate early on Clara because I was supposed to teach in a different program here that was being developed at the college and we had a very wise dean at the main campus at the time and he says you know Jason the program might take about a year to get funding for and everything he was in the meantime though we're going to send you to a small community and you're going to learn what it's like to live in a small community and the environment that your students your future students are going to come from and I spent two years in the Black River just north of here on Baffin Island unbelievable experience and you wouldn't believe how many times that experience comes into my mind when I'm dealing with students and yeah I was really fortunate to have somebody give me that opportunity oh there was a question about success of the program where is it I don't see it here though so that's where I can brag a bit about the program we really do we have a lot of alumni and those alumni have been picked up by our industry partners they move up those corporate ladders they do extremely well we have had people from ADMs all the way down to wildlife officers sort of like the GM corporate ladder says you know how do you know the program is being successful as a two year program I don't think there's any program in college for a single delivery program that gets as many applicants as we do we get 40 to 60 a year our graduates most of them have jobs before they even graduate and the employers that hire them meet with us all the time and are asking us how do we get more how do we get more when you're only graduating maybe 6 to 12 a year and you have all these different agencies trying to get them they're competing for them so to me you can use all sorts of different measurements to measure the success of the program my success is the graduates grow on and speak well with the program employers speak well with our graduates and people keep applying huge numbers that's all for today is that all? just stop so we did


Hello, I'm Janet Longmore and I'm the founder and president of Digital Opportunity Trust. One of the biggest impacts that inspires me in the DOT network is the powerful and passionate role models that so many young women facilitators in our network have become role models for their peers and for other women in their communities as they inspire them to learn to use technology to improve their lives. These young women have inspired thousands of others across hundreds of communities in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and in our Indigenous communities in Canada. I think of Aisha who joined DOT Kenya as a facilitator in 2010. She was responsible for mentoring youth in a region with one of the highest poverty levels in the country. Aisha led the way with something called the DOT Women's Network. Here's how she describes that. DOT Women Network is an online community whereby the DOT female come together to share ideas on business, to share ideas on some of the challenges that they're facing. It's like a think tank. If you need something about this, maybe it's a business, about starting a business or about a problem that women are facing and you don't know how you're going to tackle it, we have resources within our online platform. So we've realized that so many women in DOT are going there to get information which is very vital. Since 2010, Aisha has developed her mentorship skills through the Sherry Blair Foundation for Women and serves as a role model for young women in both Kenya and across East Africa, online and off. Aisha is now working at Ibiz Africa, a business incubator that helps youth develop entrepreneurship and ICT skills. She continues to support the DOT community through social media. It's inspiring to see Aisha grow from being a facilitator with DOT to being a leader for other youth across Kenya. ICT is also a powerful tool for making the world seem smaller. One brilliant idea can become a movement and the knowledge of a few can become the knowledge of many. A network effect is created. Take Annette, for example. Annette is the housewife and mother of four who use the ICT skills learned through DOT Uganda to create a branding and marketing plan for her mushroom business. She then took those skills and shared them on a Facebook group called Friends for Life Uganda, an online network of former DOT participants. Annette still goes on this group as a way to support her fellow Ugandan businesses and offer advice and guidance to her peers. Leadership opportunities are posted there and Annette and others are using the group as a way to improve and enhance their everyday business goals. Today, more than 100 people are active in that Facebook group, a powerful example of youth harnessing ICT skills to create a community support network for themselves. So let's celebrate the world and women coming together on this Girls and ICT Day. I celebrate the courage, conviction and passion of the many young women role models in the DOT network. I hope that you find a way that technology can inspire and connect you today and every other day of the year.
