I still feel like we're not getting a clear answer, though, because... Oh, you never will. No, that's your problem. You're trying to get a clear answer on a social construct. You get... Nobody could do that. A vibe? That's absolutely what it means to be an American, yeah. Is that what you're saying for manhood, too, though? Well, yeah, it's a social category. A vibe is about as close of a term you're going to get. But what we want on the whole as an aggregate is to be understood in the context of man or womanhood. Under your view, not all trans men are men. If your boyfriend goes down to the range and he brings a 22, then it looks like you've got a girlfriend missed. Yeah, so back to kind of what I was saying, though, would you say that the definition of man, when you say a man is somebody who identifies as a man, and if you were to ask you what a man is, would you be able to give us any type of thing? Well, I could point to myself, I'm a man. How do you know? Because I identify as one, of course. So you know that people are men and women based off that they tell you that they're a man and woman. How else would you know what's going on in their brain? I have to use the same mode of inference to ask lots of things about a person. So take something like somebody that doesn't... You could tell them a biological male by looking at me. Take somebody that doesn't speak English, for example. If they don't say the words, I am a man, how do you know that they're a man? Because one implication of this definition of this man is somebody who identifies as a man is that manhood is confined to English speakers or no non-English-speaking men. Of course they're a non-English-speaking man. We have... They don't identify as men. Yes, but they have analogous understandings of gender considering that we have man as a gender to just be the collection of social rules and expectations associated with male sex.  Well, sure, that's just what it is we understand a man to be, but you don't have to adhere to those rules to be a man. And in fact, we don't. There are plenty of like, metaresexual or effeminate men who we consider to be part of the social category of men despite, I don't know, doing their fancy pants makeup stuff or whatever it is that we're doing. Right, so that definition fails. How does that definition fail? Because then you commit a special pleading fallacy. If you say that a man is somebody who encompasses these traits that we typically associate with males, then you say, oh, well, that's awesome. I didn't say that. Oh, I thought, excuse me, I thought you said that they encompass these rules or whatnot? No, it's associated with those roles, but they don't have to encompass them. There are femme boys and tomboy's, right? Like there are plenty of people. So what was your reference for when you referred to men? What are you referring to? I think that when man as a gender category as something that we understand or have built for people to identify with or not identify with is just the roles and expectations associated with the male sex. That's not a universal thing. Well, no, but that's just a set of associations. You can choose whether or not you want to be a part of that group. Yeah, so what makes you a man? Identifying as part of that group. Part of what group? The one that I just described. The gender. The social role thing?  It's a lens of analysis. It's a decision to identify as one because it gives you a perspective. Well, that's kind of what I said, right? I said interview a man as somebody who identifies or maybe encompasses the social roles we typically associate with males. Is that not correct? I think you identify with a set of roles and expectations, but that doesn't mean you adhere to them. For example, I can accept it. Okay, yeah, yeah. So under this view, it's still false that trans men are men because there's plenty of trans men who do not identify with the social roles and expectations typically associated with males. No, they do by identifying as men. That's circular. No, so we've already done it. Okay, because you said a man is somebody who are, okay. A man is just the collection of, okay, it's like being an American, all right? So I'm an American in a purely national sense. I was born here, but when we say is this person an American, we mean more than just what is their nationality? Often American, it's like a melting pot spirit kind of thing. Are you really an American? But what does that mean? Well, what does it mean to be an American? It turns out no one human can meet every category for what it means to be an American because there are so many Americas. People in the South, the Northeast, the Southwest, the Center, the Rust Belt, they're all gonna have different ideas of what it means to be an American. So when a person says like, yeah, I'm an American, even though they're say like a two-year immigrant or something, not even a citizen, I'll listen to them. But for me, it's more of a general spirit thing. They're saying I'm an American because they wanna be a part of that category, not because they wanna adhere to every individual expectation within the category because that's not possible. Okay, so that's a little bit, I'll talk really good. You say a man is somebody who identifies as a man. And then I ask you, well, what is a man since you used it in the referent, you say a man is somebody who encompasses or identifies with, I guess identifies with is better if I understood, identifies with these social roles and expectations we typically associate with males, right? Is that a fair characterization? I think that man like American is a social block. It's a big, heavy gravitational force that you can enter the orbit of if you choose to. I think that there are a lot of things that you might do or see or want to be in that orbit that you might may or may not identify with that you may consider to be a part of your experience, but it's something you're in the orbit of and you can choose to break that orbit. With an American, I consider myself an American because there are some categories that I adhere to, some beliefs that I have that I consider fundamentally American, but not all. And as for men, right? They're like, I don't like wearing cowboy hats, but I swear to God, you go to a third of the men in the South of this country and they'll tell you that owning a cowboy hat is a fundamental part of being a man. You ever seen those memes of like the, the like big saddle, no ox or whatever?   Obviously that's not the kind of vibe I'm going for, but you know, it is the same gravitational force. I feel like we're not getting a clear answer though, because... Oh, you never will. No, that's your problem. You're trying to get a clear answer on a social construct. You get, nobody can do that. When you refer to men, what are you referring to? I'm referring to the people who make the decision to orbit around that idea, that concept, to be a part of that block. Okay, so people that make, that choose to orbit around this concept. And if I understand correctly, this concept is what we typically associate with males in terms of roles and expectations. Though people obviously, you know, break with those traditions quite a bit while still being men, you know? And under this view, not all trans men are men because in a lot of trans men don't identify with those expectations. And they don't have to orbit as you would put it. Well, you only have to identify as being a man. Identifying as a man is being an important... And that's what I'm saying, then you're shifting between the two definitions. Because which one, it can be, hold on, it can be either or, but it cannot be like both. Okay, so like, would you say that a man is somebody who identifies as a man or would you say a man is somebody who wants to orbit around these social roles? Those are the same thing. Those are not the same thing because people can identify as men but not want to orbit around these social roles. No, but orbit around, but like I said, I am a man, but I don't adhere to every social role expected of men. It's not even possible for me. Yeah, but you orbit and some people don't even want to orbit. No, but so by orbiting, I mean like you are, when you say I'm a man, you're choosing to enter that orbit. This is the collection of roles and expectations that you want to define your experience around. I disagree plenty of people that identify as men or how even people that identify as women do not want to orbit around these traits associated with their preferred sex. No, no, no, by orbit around, I mean that it's the framework through which you want to engage with and even defy these traits. So to give you an example, okay, being willful, being argumentative or stubborn means different things when you're a man and a woman. I can be argumentative and stubborn with very few social consequences. Women can't end throughout history. It's been worse for them in this regard. Now, there are plenty of argumentative and stubborn women, willful women, hysterical women, whatever, they've made a lot of history, that's great for them.  A person can be a man, say a femme boy and be very feminine, but femininity is different when you identify as a man than when you identify as a woman. The roles and expectations are differently. A good example would be women's femininity, while often sexualized, is not innately sexual, right? Like a woman can be feminine and present as such and be treated normally, but not as often as they would like to be, but it's possible. Femboys, on the other hand, that's practically a porn term. That's like a category on hentai sites because femininity, when projected from someone who identifies as a man, very different. But that's different from trans women. Trans women, if you were going by a biological essentialist argument, aren't that different from femme boys and obviously the porn sites can flake the two, but that's their problem, not mine. But the expectations between the two are very different because there's something about being feminine while being a man that confers a certain set of expectations. So what I mean to say by all of this is- There are different expectations associated with people who feel that they're female versus people that feel that they're male. I can agree to that. That still makes it false that all trans men are men under this account because plenty of trans men, just by calling themselves men, they do not want to adhere to these traits and expectations we have typically associated with. They don't have to adhere, but they're in the- And they don't identify with them and they don't want to orbit with them. So under your view, not all trans men. They are orbiting with them because they're engaging with the context by which they'll be judged in relation to those expectations. Even if they openly say, I do not want anything to do with this, I do not identify with this, I do not like this, nothing to do with it, then by your logic, unless they're lying and misguided, they would have to be not a man. No, they adopt the orbit and then they reject the characteristics, same as me. I am an American. I accept that term and everything that it implies, but I fervently reject elements of what it means to be an American. I will say I'm an American, but I want nothing to do with, and then I complain about a bunch of stuff like a communist would. Yeah, so when you say adopt the orbit, you mean just by calling themselves a man. They have agreed to be associated with all of these different things. It's like an analytical framework. We can remove ourselves from it entirely, being non-binary, but if you are to be a man or a woman, if you say I am this or that, you are entering yourself and you might not like all of it, but that is what it means to call yourself a woman. If a trans woman calls themselves a woman or a trans man and man, they know what they're signing up for. There will be expectations placed on them that are new and scary and often unfold. But a lot of them don't associate their manhood with those expectations. They may call themselves men for different reasons, but do not orbit around, identify with those types of things. So under this view, it's still false. And I don't like cowboy hats. And yet I'm an American man. So I reject those categories, those expectations. Cowboy hats are both American and male. Okay, so when you're, okay, let's just engage with this. When you say you're an American, what does that mean to you? That's a complicated question. I like the theoretical values associated with this country's identity as a melting pot. They're not true values, but I like the theoretical values. Okay. And I have a strong cultural tie to a lot of the stuff this country has to offer. Okay, so you like these values of like a melting pot? You like these cultural identities that the country has to offer, but can people- Some of them. And I do hate- Some of them, whichever ones you like. But can people be Americans without liking those things? Of course. Perfect. Then when you refer to an American, you are not referring to people who want the melting pot or et cetera, et cetera. You're referring to something else. And that's the same problem we're having in this today. I'm referring to a vibe. A vibe? That's absolutely what it means to be an American, yeah. Is that what you're saying for manhood too though? Well, yeah, it's a social category. A vibe is about as close of a term you're going to get in terms of synonyms. It's a analytical framework. It's a set of expectations. It's a lens you view the world through a color. It's something that tints, it shapes, it shades. And you can choose to look at things differently once you're there. But yeah, I really do think that's what it means. I think that's what you do as well, by the way. I think that you may take your womanhood for granted as I take my manhood for granted because I was born into it. I didn't have to fight for it. But I think that when I think of myself as a guy and you as a woman, I presume, I can't see your brain state. We want some things associated with well, it means to be a man and woman respectively and we don't want other things. But what we want on the whole as an aggregate is to be understood in the context of man or womanhood. And I think that we make that choice too. What does, what is the vibe of manhood that all trans men associate themselves with? Well, all trans men associate themselves with being a man. The vibe is a complicated and well, it's the set of expectations, roles and associations with the male sex. But that's not all trans men. I identify with those set of roles expectations associated with the male sex. But they identify with being men, which means that is the frame. And this is a problem. Those are things are not mutually exclusive. You can identify as a man and you can also not identify with the social roles and expectations associated with men. But we can do that with American. And that's the confusion we're having because you think those things go hand in hand when they don't. Can we not do that with American? There are plenty of ways in which I reject American behavior and American social expectations. And yet in spite of that, I consider myself an American. There's no single definitional point I could like gesture at to prove whether or not I'm an American in a social or cultural sense, right?


I was not comfortable being home by myself because I never knew when I was going to have another attack. I was afraid to do anything for fear it would bring something back on. There was times that I was in an ambulance four times a week because I couldn't breathe and they taught me here that, you know, you don't have to worry about that, that's all behind me now. I had a quadruple bypass in Midland but then when I got stronger and I could accept things better than I came here or the cardiac rehab, I didn't have to drive more than a couple miles. They really cared about their patients. It wasn't just a face that they were putting on. The cardiomyomachine has totally changed my life. It's wonderful. I wake up in the morning, turn the machine on, and lay down on it. It reads my levels, they can tell if I'm building a fluid, it can tell them if I'm having breathing problems and I shut it off and wait for the phone to ring figure and it's either good or Patty's going to call me. I talk to Patty every morning. You know, it's just like a friend but it's an amazing piece of equipment. I feel more freedom. I'm not afraid to go to sleep at night. I'm not afraid to go out anymore to go to the grocery store. I would definitely recommend Mid-Michigan for cardiac or the cardiomyomachine, the cardiac rehab. These people are, I mean they're so well trained and it's just like family up here. I couldn't have asked for better care.


In addition to assignments, which are things students send you to grade, Canvas lets you make quizzes, which you can partially or completely score for you. In this module for week two, we're going to add a quiz, a new quiz. We'll call it quiz number one. Add the item, select it, and edit it. The first thing you want to do is enter the quiz details. Let's start with instructions. They can be as simple as, please answer these questions, or they can be as complex as you need. This is going to be a graded quiz. There are other options, such as practice quizzes or surveys, which can be graded and ungraded. Let's set a time limit of 30 minutes for this quiz, and we'll let students see the correct answers, but not until after the date of availability of the quiz is over. That will be on May 20th at four o'clock, so we'll set that to 4.05 p.m. We're assigning it to everyone in the class. The due date will be May 20th at four o'clock p.m., and it'll be available from May 18th until May 20th at four o'clock p.m. While we could start adding questions right now, it's better to save the work that we've done so that we don't lose any of this information. Click Edit again, and select the Questions tab. Add a new question. First, set the question name. You can either name it something like question number one, or you can name it by its topic. This question will be about attitudes, so that's what I'll name it. The question name is visible to instructors, but not the students. This will be a true-false question, and I'll select that from the menu. Now, enter the text of the question. The answer to this question happens to be true, and you'll notice that the word true is in green. If the answer had been false, you would move down to false and click the arrow pointing to that word. Then false would be the correct answer. Switch it back to true, the correct answer. And most important, we need to update the question. If you don't update the question, your work won't be stored when you save the quiz. Our next question is going to be about the definition of a value. This one's going to be a multiple-choice question. And here's the question. Now we put in the choices. The first choice is belief. The second possible answer is value, and we're going to need a third choice. We'll add another answer, and attitude is our third choice. Select the arrow pointing to the correct answer, value. And there's one more thing we can do here. These boxes that you see underneath the answers allow you to enter comments when students choose a particular answer. Let's add comments for the wrong answers. If the student answers belief, we'll tell them, remember to click done when you've entered your comment. And for the other wrong answer, attitude, and again, click done. These boxes here are for the correct answer, any incorrect answer, and any answer at all. Canvas calls them general comments. Let's update that question. I could add more questions of different types, but that would make this video a bit longer than I'd like. I'll save the quiz and continue with a few more question types in the next video.


Well, I am very much heartened and encouraged by the words of support of the honorable minister and I guess he is speaking for the government of Australia for unilateral trade liberalisation and for global non-discriminatory trade liberalisation. I think Australia has been the flag bearer among the group of nations which have supported free trade in agriculture and I think Australia has also been a leader in supporting initiatives for liberalisation of trade in non-agricultural products. So, these words today of Dr. Emerson are very much in keeping with the tradition of support for global free trade that Australia has always supported. As far as unilateral trade liberalisation is concerned I think we have to create an environment that supports and induces such liberalisation, unilateral. Unfortunately, that environment doesn't exist in the world today. If I give the example of my country, India, after the Doha round began India has reduced its peak industrial non-agricultural tariffs from 40 percent as high as 40 percent to 10 percent. Similarly, after the Uruguay round ended there has been a revolution as far as investment policy and services are concerned. From a time when almost all the major service sectors were nationalised industries that is not only was foreign investment not welcome but even domestic private investment was not allowed. From that situation in around 1995 we have travelled a long distance in which foreign investment is allowed virtually in all service sub sectors. There are one or two like multi-brand retail and the entire attention of some of our trading partners is on that one omission one or two. Whatever has been accomplished by way of liberalisation during the last 10, 15 years if I may use that word has been pocketed by some of our trading partners and they are asking for more to conclude the negotiations. Now coming back coming to the aspect of global trade liberalisation and economic integration arrangements there was a time in the not too distant past when trade policy officials abhor economic integration arrangements. In the mid 80s when the Uruguay round began a friends of the MFN group was formed to improve the multilateral framework for the conduct of world trade and to make it harder to create customs unions and free trade areas and two prominent members of this group were Australia and India. To this group a non-discriminatory framework of international trade appeared to the best to be the best as it enabled economic operators to buy from the cheapest and to sell to the dearest market. The efforts of this group made little headway and the integration in Europe was broadened and deepened and the US too the United States too pushed forward to form NAFTA. In 1991 when the Uruguay round was floundering many of us agonised on the prospect of the end of multilateralism and the world being divided up into economic integration arrangements. The Uruguay round succeeded and the WTO was established providing a reassurance that the multilateral trading system was alive. Nevertheless the world moved inexorably towards economic integration arrangements and nowhere more than in Asia. One count that I have is that 216 free trade areas, preferential trade areas and comprehensive economic partnership agreements have been formed in Asia alone, had been formed in Asia alone by 2009 and 166 of these were bilateral. The ASEAN has emerged as the principal hub and concluded agreements with all the major economies of the region, China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. Another notable feature is that in parallel with the broader agreement with the ASEAN as a group, these economies have concluded or are in the process of concluding agreements with member countries of the ASEAN as well. The debate is still alive on whether regionalism yields additional benefits or detracts from multilateralism. But regional integration arrangements are a formidable reality today and we need to go beyond the debate and devise ways in means and means in which maximum economic advantage can be drawn from them. Even the most ardent sort of supporters of regional agreements would agree that multiple and overlapping agreements diminish the benefits of economic integration arrangements. One big trade policy challenge before the Asia-Pacific region is how to ensure that large numbers of FTAs, RTAs and comprehensive economic partnership agreements coalesce into a big region wide economic integration arrangement embracing trade and goods and services as well as investment. To me it seems that the most advantageous way to proceed will be to consolidate the ASEAN plus six by the ASEAN partners, the six of them whom I name to form free trade areas among themselves to some extent this is already happening. But this would have to be carried to its conclusion to ensure that all these economic integration arrangements are assimilated into one region wide economic integration arrangement. Coming back to the global issues which are creating big trade policy changes and to which the honorable minister referred, I think these two need attention. In fact, they need greater attention of the countries of the region. I would like to under underline one important aspect in this connection. We should not be seeking trade policy solutions for every problem impinging on the world economy. The big problem of trade imbalance has roots in the macroeconomic policies and needs to be addressed through structural changes and not through trade action. Similarly, in the case of climate change what we need first is a deal on mitigation measures. Absent such a deal and the problem will be exacerbated through the use of border carbon measures. Let me conclude by saying that the biggest trade policy challenge is to restore the credibility of the multilateral trading system by bringing the doha around to a successful conclusion. For this to happen, the major players have to make another effort through additional concessions and also by resorting to wherever possible agreements among a limited group of countries constituting a critical mass. I won't bore you today with the potential areas and the financial services that I think give significant challenges. But what is very important is that the world continues to understand that trading, investing across boundaries is its future for growth and well-being and rising living standards across many areas. The thing that I think we must be very in some regards very fortunate where we are. Australia has an amazing opportunity to take advantage of the Asia growth engine. And we should first of all understand that the Asia growth engine is not just a story of the last 30 years. Over the last 2,000 years, all but 400 of those years, Asia was this most significant contributor to quote unquote global GDP. So we in the West probably need to reflect a little bit and understand what is going on. It's just a return to what was happening 400, 500 years ago. The emergence of a huge middle class in a number of countries, not just China, but in a number of countries, the movement of policy makers to stimulate domestic demand, places like Indonesia and India are probably further ahead of that than say China represent enormous opportunities. The urbanization that will go ahead not only in China where some 350 million people will be given access to an urban living environment over the next 20 years, but across all of Asia represents a huge opportunity to do this. And why is it that this is going to be, of course it's about rising living standards, but it's also about getting better balance in one's economy. Urbanization breeds domestic demand. Private consumption and demand for services will be huge growth areas. And this is something that in Australia that I feel is a massive opportunity and we at ANZ are clearly trying to take advantage of. Our position, our geographical position, our proximity to the market, how we are perceived by our Asian neighbors in the new world versus some of the more traditional areas represent amazing opportunities for this country to expand their businesses. Not only in agriculture and mining, but clearly in services. The people, people facet that we have started to breed through the educational services growth is a very good formula for which to breed future success. I reflect on two of our four biggest partnerships that we have and two of the chairman of two of the banks were actually educated in Australia some 20 to 30 years ago. So that people to people proximity allowed our business to create a relationship in a commercial basis some 25 years later. There are probably four key themes behind that that I think is important. Going forward I think the issue of trade agreements are probably something of the past. We must take a concept of business agreements over a wide span and I think the minister spoke a little bit about this. These business agreements must produce a win-win situation. It would be inappropriate for us to expect that it is win only for Australia and not for the other counterparty. That will be politically intolerable for any government to succeed to. These agreements can cover a broad range of trade, investment, flows of people, not just specific areas. I think one agreement that potentially could be of great interest is the Indonesian Australian agreement where it is very clear that the Indonesians and Australians are not talking about a trade agreement but rather a close economic partnership agreement. I think this is potentially the way of the new world to get everyone across the line. This will if correctly negotiated and both parties act responsibly could be of great significance to both countries as natural neighbors. What will also be required though as we enter these is I feel very strong political leadership not only by the trade ministers who are clearly batting out that side but by further cabinet and parliamentarians and policy makers right across the span, across the world. This is not aimed at one particular country and as I said in particular when you look at the current environment I think this becomes more critical. That strong political leadership that is required in order to stop a nationalist sentiment building in this area. I think what is also important that is we must understand that there will be certain sectors that globally become uncompetitive in a particular country. I reflect very much on the UK during the mid-80s where their mining sectors became clearly uncompetitive, probably were uncompetitive for 20 years and were supported by government subsidy etc. When the tough decisions were made though governments in the UK also realised the fallout that would happen on a human basis. So attracting investment as replacement for uncompetitive industries particularly if I take in the northeast the formation of some very competitive car plants from Japan in the late 90s which was helpful in allowing people to go along with the reform as their lives changed. I think we've seen that with reasonable success as our textile industry has slowly from a production basis moved into other areas and more into design, marketing, international distribution. What I also think is a second most important, another very important area is that there is an enormous opportunity with the neighbourly growth around the services sector. It will require though Australian businesses to be more bold and more tentative as to the opportunities that lie within them. Yesterday we were at the Asia link release of the services sector analysis of where Australian entities see the growth in the services sector. While it was at the headline impressive that we see that twice more interest in Asia than the rest of the world in the growth of our services sector, we have to understand that Asia is growing at four to five times the level of the rest of the world. Secondly we're coming off very low bases and the opportunity for us to create more than a mining and agriculture country definitively is there in my mind. We have the talent and we have the leadership in a number of areas, environmental services, architectural services, financial services, branding, marketing, etc. I can just talk about a recent visit by the Mayor of Tang Jing when he saw our new head office building in Melbourne. He was so impressed that he immediately co-opted and put on contract three Australian Melbourne firms who were critical in the design and the intelligence that went into that building for his environmental success. To me this is just the tip of the iceberg. What is also important though is that we as a nation need to become business internationalists. It is my sense that we need to understand that while regulation and the government will do their part, we as business people need to understand how to run businesses across borders with a much more regard and perspective of where we trade and do business with. We must be able to be much more adaptive in our management style. We need to be able to find ways of how to commercially protect ourselves where legal environments are possibly not as sound as we have here in Australia. They can be done. Many international services companies have successfully grown over a sustainable period of time, fantastic businesses in environments which we would naturally say a high risk. If you manage them properly and you manage the risk properly and you understand the environments they are no more risky than dealing in an environment such as our own. The other thing that I think is important and the last thing that I think is important is that business also has an obligation to help government. Government and we have found DFAT has been an incredible assistance in helping us build our licensed franchises in a number of countries. But what is also important is that we participate in a business to business lobby. Business people across the world are the natural people for which to create and lobby for a much more open and free marketplace. It is important that people that we deal with are promoting that in other countries. It is also important for us to help government to identify the win-wins for our respective businesses. Arguments are put soundly across the negotiating table when dealing with business agreements in the future. It is us who best knows those opportunities that can allow for that win-win situation. It is also important that we play our role in lobbying at multiple levels within governments. If you deal in India it is an absolute requirement to work your way through the pyramid of influences in terms of government policy. And it is not acceptable in my view to throw your hands up and say what we can't get what we want. It is in business power to help explain the position. That's certainly the way that we've dealt in the last three years and certainly an enormous success. The last thing that I would say is that investment trade if you wish to call it services trade is actually very, very different from physical trade of production and mineral resources. Services trade in many regards requires big operations in country, requires lots of people in certain areas. For us setting up a branch network having 2,000 people sitting in Singapore or 1,000 people sitting in Indonesia is very different from exporting agricultural or mineral resources into another country. And that in itself is a win-win potentially for other governments to take handle of and promote internally within their own policy makers.


The governor of Uyghur state, Shayin Makin Day, joined by senatorial candidates of the Accord Party, Sheena Pella, visited Isayin Lirki government for a final round of the Governor Shapirali of the People's Democratic Party. The governor, who also inspected ongoing works at the College of Agriculture and Renewable Energy at the Ladouki-Akintola University of Technology, said his administration has committed huge resources into the project. He also maintained that all political parties such as the Labor Party, Accord Party and Social Democratic Party have agreed to cast their votes for the PDP in the common governorship elections. What we should do now is at the field of the general public now is people vote for people. They vote for president, they vote for personnel who are not political parties anymore. And what we are doing today is the coalition of all political parties in Uyghur. We have Accord members here, we have the BC members, we have some Labour Party and MPP and also helping together and we have extruded all the three candidates contested for governorship in the Uyghur seat. And Uyghur has a saying that has been nationalized as it is said that the world will continue to be strong. The people of Uyghur in general in the Uyghur government must have food, must be healthy and we must have the power to exercise social security in the state. We have the people of Uyghur elected that they are supporting the people of the Uyghur and they are all in support of 2.2 energy team. They are all at home and just trying to be happy and take more time to do their job. So we are going to help you. This is Saturday.

That's a great place to post questions, comments, and content related to the topics of my presentation and the topics of the channel that I'll go through in just a moment. And note that Bookmap Discord is free and available to everyone, whether you subscribe to Bookmap or not. There's a lot of great content there. Very active traders. Great community. All working together to help each other become better traders. So again, a fantastic community. Everyone is welcome to join. And hello, Stephen. Welcome. Glad you're here. I'm also on X, formerly known as Twitter. My name there is at Doug Pless. The focus of my presentation today and the focus of the options-jug chat channel is options, order flow, the impact of options markets on stocks and futures, and the influence of market maker hedging flow on price action. I have a two-step process for trading at the first is planning, and I use positional analysis. I look at how traders and market makers are positioned at the options market and how those positions change from day to day to develop a thesis regarding the expected trading range and volatility for the day, as well as the directional bias. And the second step in my process is execution. I like it real-time order flow in Bookmap and real-time market maker hedging flow and spot gamma hero to confirm my thesis. And for setups for entries and exits. And when I talk about setups today, I will be focusing on an underlying asset. And setups in those assets can be taken any number of ways. For example, the S&P 500 futures setups can be taken with ES futures, spy shares, spy options, SPX options, or even ES options. And also my focus is generally intraday trading, but the setups that I talk about could be applied to swing trading as well, depending on your time frame. Questions and comments are welcome. And I will be watching both the options-dug chat channel and Discord, as well as the chat and YouTube for your questions and comments. Please feel free to post, and I'll do my best to answer your questions. And hello, Ida Lizard. Welcome. Glad you're here. All right, here's my agenda for today. Monday, January 29th. First of all, I want to go over news items, economic data events, and earnings for this week. And it is a packed week with potentially significant market-moving events, news items. Then I'll go through my positional analysis for today. Then I'll review some setups from earlier today. And then I'll get to the live market. And when I get to the live market, if anyone has any stocks they want me to take a look at, please let me know, and I'll be glad to do that. All right, so there are really no significant economic data releases or events today, but it starts tomorrow. 10 a.m., consumer confidence comes out. And then after the market closes, AMD, Google, and Microsoft reports. AMD is up pretty substantially this year, I think maybe 30% or more. So that could be interesting. Again, Google and Microsoft also report after the market closes. Then the big event for the week is on Wednesday. So on Wednesday, the FOMC announcement is at 2 p.m. press conference at 2.30 p.m. eastern time. So the announcement will come midway through my session on Wednesday. I will be covering it live. And then the press conference begins as my webinar wraps up. All right, so let's just see what traders are expecting, what the market is expecting the Fed to do. Currently, this is the Fed Watch tool. And we'll take a look at this again tomorrow and Wednesday. So the current target rate, 525 to 550 basis points. Right now, there's, looks like about a 98% chance that the Fed holds rates steady. So at one time, there was, I think, a pretty large percentage expectation for a cut. Now that is down to 2% for a 25 basis point cut. So it looks like the, and this is usually right, the market is expecting the Fed to hold rates steady. So again, we'll take a look at this next couple days before the FOMC announcement. All right, then on Thursday, 10 a.m. ISM manufacturing PMI data comes out. Then after the market closes, Apple, Amazon and Meta report earnings. So more large, kept tech stocks that I follow. All in this case, members of the MAG-7 reporting earnings after the market closes on Thursday. And then Friday, the next big event is the jobs report at 8.30 a.m. Eastern time. And then at 10 a.m. to wrap up the week, consumer comes out at 10 a.m. So a very packed week with economic data events and earnings. All right, let's move on to positional analysis now. I'm going to start with ESB 500. This is the ES Futures and BookMap. Before I take a closer look at this chart, I want to take a look at a larger timeframe. Go to the underlying index that is SPX. This is a one-day chart for SPX. Let me go over this quickly. The current rally began last year, October 30th. Ran into resistance at 4,800, which was the call wall at the time. Then has come into some resistance at 4,900. Let's see where SPX is trading now. And just right at that level, 4,900. All right, so there was some weakness at the end of last year, beginning of this year. And now the SPX has broken out of the 4,800 level. That was the options expiration on January 19th. Breakout of the 4,800 level. Again, now moving up toward 4,900. All right, so that is a one-day chart. Let's stick with SPX. Go to a shorter timeframe. This is a 30-day one-hour chart. Here's the 4,800 level. Resistance at that level. Breakout above on expiration Friday. And now up to 4,900, which has acted as resistance the past few days. All right, let me point out the levels on this chart. First of all, the lower and upper weekly expected moves shown with the dash purple lines. That's based on the options market. I update that once a week. Then the dash blue lines are showing the lower and upper daily expected move. That's updated once a day also based on the options market. The dark red lines are showing spot gamma levels. These are proprietary spot gamma levels provided to spot gamma subscribers on a variety of trading platforms. This is Thinkorswim. Again, a 30-day one-hour chart. I'm going to point out the key daily levels. First of all, here's the put wall. At 4,500, that's the strike with the largest net negative gamma that can be expected to act as support. Obviously not in play. The next level up is the volatility trigger. That's at 4,865. That is spot gamma's proprietary gamma volatility flip level. Below that level, market maker's position on the gamma curve is negative. In a negative gamma environment, market makers have to trade with price to hedge their delta exposure. That tends to enhance or increase volatility. On the other hand, above that level, like SBX is trading now, market maker's position on the gamma curve is positive. In a positive gamma environment, market makers have to trade against price to hedge their delta exposure. That tends to subdue or decrease volatility. I know that level did move up from 47.95 on Friday, now up to 48.65. The next level up is the put wall at the call wall at 4,900. I'm sorry, the call wall is now at 49.50. That's a strike with a large net positive gamma that can be expected to act as resistance. That level did move up from 49.00 on Friday to 49.50. That is bullish. When a call wall moves up, that indicates traders are looking for accepting and positioning themselves for higher prices. Finally, this 5,000 level, that's the absolute gamma strike. That's a strike with a large absolute positive and negative gamma. If price holds above the 4,900 level, moves on to 49.50, and breaks through that, then that 5,000 level would be the next potential target and most likely an upper range through at least February expiration. The volatility trigger and call wall both move higher for SBX and that is bullish. Let's take a quick look at one other SBX chart. There is ES trading right around maybe just slightly above the 4,900 level right now. Let's take a look at one other chart. This is SBX in a one-day chart. This dark shaded portion is today, one-minute chart. After some initial weakness, right around 11 a.m., SBX finally broke higher, made it all the way up to the 4,900 level, found resistance, now testing that level again. Right now, again, remember the call wall has moved up to 49.50, and this is a large gamma-3 level, one being the most important, five being the least important. I'm sorry, this is the 4,900 level. That's a combo level just above that at 49.01. All right, so that combo level combines SBX and spy gamma-weighted open interest into one level here, shown in terms of SBX price. So the combo level just above the 4,900 level. All right, let's go to book map. All right, I don't have the 4,901 level on my chart. That may be an oversight on my part. Let me check that just a moment. Yeah, that is an oversight on my part. I should have that 4,901 level there. All right, so there's a combo level just above that. All right, so this is the ES Futures in book map. I have my own cloud notes, so I can show SBX level. So there's the 4,900 level. I can also show spy levels on this chart. So here is the spy 487 level. That is the absolute gamma strike for spy. That has been an important level of support for several days last week. Set up some good longs. There's the spy 488 level, large gamma-4 level. All right, so pretty narrow range for the SMB500 today. There is a difference in price between ES and SPX. And today it is, let's see, similar between 25 and 26. I'm using 26. So I'm showing SPX 4,900 at ES 4926. And I do post the index relationships that I'm using every day. ES to spy, NQ to QQQ. ES minus SPX and NQ minus NDX in Discord every day. Today I posted my preliminary numbers. I hope that helped before the cache opened. And then I posted the final numbers. There was some change to the numbers, minor changes that I posted just before 10 a.m. All right, so I hope that helps. All right, so narrow range today. Bullish thesis really didn't start to play out until about 11 a.m. We'll go over setups in a few minutes. James says, what a mess. Yeah, I thought especially up until about 11.30. So the first two hours of the session, the cache session for the SP500, I thought was pretty difficult to trade. NASDAQ, there was more range. But the primary clue being, and we'll talk about setups in a few minutes, this rising cumulative volume delta shown with the dark blue line. All right, let's take a look at NASDAQ. So again, shifts and levels for the, I guess a hat trick of sorts for the SP500 for the SPX volatility trigger shifted higher. For spy, the put wall shifted higher. And for SPX, the call wall shifted higher. All right, let's take a look at NASDAQ now. All right, James says the chart is a mess. Maybe you could clarify what you mean by that. The price action or my chart itself. All right, here's NASDAQ. I thought it was an easier read today. All right, let's take a look at, so this is the NQ futures and book map. Before I take a closer look at this chart, I do want to take a look first of all at QQQ. So we can see the levels and play for today. Note for QQQ, 424 is the absolute gamma strike. And pretty similar breakout. It took until 11 a.m. for price to get going. Note earlier today the 425 level was resistance. All right, let's take a look at NDX. And this combo level has been in play. This is a combo L3 level combining QQQ and NDX. Gamma weighted open interest into one level. Kind of a key level today resistance. Now support and note this, this is a level that I just drew by hand, but this NDX 17,420 level acting as support earlier today. All right, let's go back to NQ futures and book map. So just like the ES, I have my own cloud notes. I'm showing NDX levels. There's that 473 combo level. Then this, here's that QQQ 424 level. And that level was a good point for longs or this trend line down. Good point for shorts today. Hello Cesar, welcome glad you're here. All right, shifts and levels for NASDAQ minor. The volatility trigger for NDX shifted higher. And the volatility trigger for QQQ shifted lower. Both minor shifts. All right, again, we'll take a look at setups in a few just a moment. All right, the next thing I want to take a look at is gamma notional. We'll take a look at market makers position on the gamma curve to see how they were positioned at the beginning of the day. This gives me a sense of the expected trading range and volatility for the day. So what I'm going to take a look at is gamma notional. This is market makers position on the gamma curve at the beginning of the day. For the SME 500, NASDAQ and also 2000. Note for the SME 500, both these numbers are positive. And I would say kind of mildly positive. So this indicates that traders are short calls, market makers are long calls. That's what spot gamma assumes for an index. So this, hence the positive gamma in a positive gamma environment. Again, market makers have to trade against price to hedge to their delta exposure. And those numbers did move lower from Friday. So still positive but less positive than Friday. And note, and I typically don't pay much attention to NDX. So for QQQ, still negative but slightly less negative than Friday. So overall fairly neutral for gamma notional but for the SME 500 especially still positive. Alright, so generally in this kind of environment, pre-FOMC, I'm looking for more mean reverting price action and not necessarily a trending market. That doesn't mean it's going to happen but that's what I'm typically looking for in this environment. Alright, let's take a look at some setups now. I'm going to skip over the Vana model, not much to see there. So let's take a look at some setups. So I'm going to start by taking a look at what options traders are doing today. So everything that we've looked at so far other than book map is based on static data that's updated once a day. Spot gamma takes open interest, applies their own algorithms to that data, comes up with the levels and other information that I use in my planning process. Now let's move on to execution and look at real-time options trades first and then we'll take a look at book map and put it all together. So this is the hero chart. Hero stands for hedging impact real-time options. This is from Spot Gamma provided to Spot Gamma subscribers. This chart that I'm looking at shows the hero signal for the SME 500. So the chart is showing the price for SPX with a white line and the hero signal with a purple line. And this is showing options trades and market maker hedging activity for a combined signal of SPX, SPY, XSP and ES futures. Spot Gamma takes options trades, all the options trades and all of those instruments combines them into this one signal. So what this is showing, a rising hero signal indicates traders are taking positive delta positions. They are buying calls and or selling puts and market makers take the opposite side of those trades and they have to buy futures to hedge their delta exposure. So when traders buy and sell puts and calls in SPY, SPX, XSP, ES futures, market makers will hedge those trades, hedge themselves with ES futures. Alright, let's zoom in on this chart. Alright, what I want to do is, I'm going to zoom in, just focus on a couple of setups from this morning. Actually, let me do one thing here. I'm going to show, so this is showing the regular trading hours only. I'm going to include the extended trading hours. Since this was a clue for the first setup, the long setup at the cash open. So this is the cash open right here, 9.30. And note the hero signal, traders were taking positive delta positions before the cash open. There was even an alert flow alert indicating significant options activity right before the cash open. And SPX and ES options do trade before the cash open. SPY trades but not SPY options. Alright, let's go take a look at book map. Let's go back to ES. Alright, so remember, options traders were taking positive delta positions before the cash open. So that setup along, pretty choppy long, but here's a pullback. And this is actually the point of control, that purple line. Then more deep pullbacks. Here's a deep pullback until this trend line is finally broken. Let's see what traders were doing here in book map. Note the rising dark blue line, that's cumulative volume delta. That's typically in the futures a good directional signal. So we know that traders were taking positive delta positions even before the cash open and then aggressive traders were buying. Alright, let's go back to hero. So after that I thought, let's go back now to just the regular trading hours. Zoom in on this a bit. So I thought this did set up a short. Let's see, I've got in my notes about 10.30. So note that hero, this is a really choppy signal, not clear, but a couple of sharp crops lower. Let's go back to book map. So by the way, I use these drawing tools. These are book map drawing tools. I use this quite a bit. I like to draw these trend lines. I know Bruce uses these as well. He draws a lot of structures. So the short here after this sharp break, note the aggressive sellers come in. The volume dots. Let me adjust those. The volume dots are showing market buy minus sell. Green dots indicate more buyers than sellers. Magenta dots indicate more sellers than buyers. And a lot of aggressive sellers come in. Price breaks below the 488 level. Makes a lower high. Again, right at point of control. Price moves lower. So the long really doesn't get going until about 11 o'clock. So just watching the sub chart here. Seeing CVD generally rising along with stop orders, buy stop orders, that's shown by the yellow line, generally fueling a move higher. And that is in line with a long thesis. So let's go back to hero now. Zoom out. So note that the hero signal starts to make a series of lower highs right around 10, 10. And then price finally breaks higher right around 11, 11, 10. So trading ES definitely took some patience today. All right, let's take a look at NASDAQ. And today the best hero signal kind of mixed. Recently I've been looking at this, let me zoom back out. I've been looking at this Mag7 hero signal. This is another combined signal. Caesar says trading SPX options today was really tough. Yeah, I bet probably better with spread trades than maybe just buying and selling puts and calls in this barely narrow trading range. All right, so this is the, I look at two signals for the NASDAQ. And this signal can also provide good signals for the SP500 as well. So what this is, is options trades and market maker hedging activity for a combined signal for the stocks known as the Mag7. Apple, Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Tesla. And also let me just point out this NASDAQ signal. This is also a combined signal in this case for NDAQ and QQQ. So both of these hero signals are applicable to the NASDAQ. So I'm generally recently have been looking at this Mag7 hero signal. So I'm going to zoom in on this. All right, let's go back to book map now. Let's go to NASDAQ, zoom in here. All right, so fewer fast enough at the cash open. Just like the SP500, good long setup. Then I thought there was a very, very good short setup. Remember this 473 combo three level that I pointed out before. Also the QQQ 425 acted as resistance. Probably started making lower highs in the sub chart here. Note the cumulative volume delta. That's the dark blue line that shifts to magenta when cumulative volume delta turns negative. Also the falling yellow line indicates cell stop orders. All right, so let's go back to hero now. So this is for the Mag7. And it was a little bit lagging for long in the morning. It took a while for the maybe three, four minutes for the Mag7 signal to turn around. It moved higher and supported along. And note that right around 943, it moves lower, makes a lower high. Clean this up, let's zoom in just a bit. So just looking at this, let's say you're looking at this in real time. Mag7, hero signal shifts lower right around 943. Three, four minutes later, price moves lower. All right, so that's what I saw. So let's go back to book map. Setting up the short in this area right here. Where NASDAQ made a series of lower highs as traders were taking negative delta positions in the Mag7 stocks. Kilo to volume delta was falling and cell stop orders were fueling the move lower. All right, so for me that's what I was looking at in trading today. I thought the NASDAQ was an easier read. All right, let's go back to hero. All right, note that hero, after that move lower, we're looking at a larger time frame now. Started making a series of higher highs and then 10.05, 10.10 really started to move sharply higher. And price really consolidated and did not really not respond higher until about 11 a.m. But set up a good long. Let's zoom in on that. Consider we're looking at this in real time. 10.05, hero making a series of higher lows, shifts higher. So that's right around 10.05. Let's go take a look at book map. Zoom in on this and price reverses higher. And it does move down below the 424 level. That's QQQ 424. Good entry point was this retest of 424. Note that cumulative volume delta starts to rise. And during this time, there were also a few iceberg buys shown by the slightly rising light blue line. And also this on-chart indicator that is 70 contracts executed in two different executions. Back up to the trend line, price reverses lower. All right, so that was two fairly easy reads. I thought easier to read than the ES early morning in NASDAQ. All right, let's take a look at some stocks and then we'll take a look at the live market. And just quickly, it looks like this. I mentioned this when we looked at the NDX chart. This 743 level, a 473 level resistance, some consolidation, now support. Let's go back and take a look at hero. See what options traders are doing now. So starting the current trend for heroes starting around 11, 12 o'clock, trending higher. Now jumping higher. Let's see what traders are doing. So right around noon, they started buying calls. That's shown by the rising orange line. Wrong tool, sorry. So when traders buy calls, market makers sell the calls. And they have to buy, in this case, futures to hedge their dealt exposure. Or I'm sorry, and that we're looking in the mag seven. So they're buying stock, you know, whether it's Apple or Amazon or Google. Back to the total signal. I think shifting from total to put and calls triggers that auto zoom. All right, let's take a look at some stocks. And then we'll take a look at the live market. And I picked out a few that I wanted to take a look at first AMD. And this is one of my favorite setups. This divergence setup. Note the hero signal. Turning lower. And I've zoomed in up until from 9 32 11 a.m. Setting up shorts at 178. So hero signal moving lower. Traders taking negative delta positions. Market makers take the opposite side. They have to sell stock to hedge their delta exposure. Let's go take a look at book map. Go to AMD. I hear the two short setups and an AMD. Really nice shorts at 178. Two opportunities. Good for about three points each in AMD. With the nice clean divergent setup in AMD. Probably the cleanest, best setup today. And target at the 175 level. Note all the liquidity in the order book. The heat map is showing a history of the limit orders in the order book. And below price, those are limit buy orders. Acting as a magnet for price. And on the first move down. Price did not quite make it there. There were traders front running that liquidity. And then the second time price moved on down and consumed those orders. So that's AMD. Let's take a look at Netflix. Netflix all over the place today. Let's go take a look at hero. And let me point out one thing here. This is a very typical signal. Often I show this in a bullish environment. It works in a for bearish setup as well. Options traders aggressively taking negative delta positions in this case. Right around 1120. They take the foot off the gas. Stop taking stop taking negative delta positions. And then price consolidates and or starts to move higher. So in the morning. Price action will generally follow the options trades. And then anywhere from 1030 to noon. Options traders take the foot off the gas and price consolidates. Or maybe moves in the opposite direction. Alright the next is Netflix. Let's zoom in on the morning. So this is what I was looking at. First of all the flow alerts. Just a couple of minutes after the cash open. Indicating significant options activity. Something to get your attention. Separate outputs and calls. The falling blue line. Indicates traders were buying puts. When traders buy puts market makers all the puts. They have to sell stock to hedge their delta exposure. And we can compare the notional value. Sorry about that. Auto zoom. Try that one more time. Compare the notional value real quick for calls. Positive value they were buying calls. That's 1.74 million. Blue. The blue line puts they were buying puts. And that is minus 57 million. So put buyers much more aggressive in the morning. Price moves lower. And here this is showing. Right around 11 they took their foot off the gas. Price moves higher. Sorry about that. And this is a. Looks like a large. Large block orders. Maybe several large block orders. Positive delta. Price moves higher. So the better signal for Netflix was in the morning. Let's take a look at. Tesla. And. Looks like dip buyers are coming in and Tesla here.  Hedge wall. Launching point for long. Flow alert comes in just a moment later. Call wall some consolidation around that level. Price breaches the call wall moves higher. Now the call wall appears to be acting as. Support. Let's go take a look at the book map. All right. Remember. 185. Hedge wall. Launching point for long. Notice all the green volume dots a lot of aggressive buyers as well as traders taking positive delta positions. And 187.50. Call wall. Some consolidation up around that. Up and down around that level. A breach of the level. Oops. Then acting as support along with VWAP just below that. So now call wall breach what happens is those calls. That are. At that level go further in the money so spot gamma assumes. For a stock. That traders along calls market makers are short calls. As those short calls go. Further in the money their delta increases. Market makers have to continue to buy stock to hedge their delta exposure. All right. Those are the stocks that I wanted to take a look at. If anybody has any stocks they want me to take a look at please let me know. Otherwise we'll circle back to the. Indices. Indexes. SB 500 grinding higher. So remember the call walls for SPX. And spy are both above. SPX call wall at 4950. And. Spy call wall at 490. So that according to that there's still room to run higher. For the SP 500. And as I pointed out earlier cumulative cumulative volume delta. Still remains positive. Trending higher as well as. By stop orders fueling the move higher. Let's go take a look at hero. Go to the SP 500. So the hero signal although choppy. Is continuing to trend higher make higher lows. And right at two o'clock it looks like. There was another jump higher and hero. Check the mag seven signal. And it also now is moving higher. Again as I pointed out before starting to make. Higher lows. And then makes. Makes the sharp break higher. In this case. A few minutes before to. So a little bit of a lead there. With mag seven signal. Let's see what time that was. Starting around. One fifty five. Started to move sharply higher. Let's go back to SP 500. And the signal for the SP 500 did start did not start to move higher. Until right at. Right at two p.m. Back to book map. And aggressive buyers to come start to come in. And then there was a stop run. Shown by the rising yellow line. Up toward four eighty nine. Also shown by the. On chart indicators. Right so the in the case for the SP 500. I would just be looking for pullbacks. To get long. Again room to run up to the. Call walls forty nine fifty for SP acts. And. Four ninety for spy. Let's see what NASDAQ is doing. And that sharp jump higher at two p.m. Much more pronounced here in NASDAQ. Right at this. Four seventy three level. With about a five minute lead on the hero signal for. For the mag seven. Also a breakout of this range. Between four twenty five and. In queue six hundred. And for QQQ the. Call walls at four thirty so. Plenty of room to run higher. For the NASDAQ as well. All right past twenty nine ten I. You know if you don't like what you see move on. I thought today was. Was tradeable. You just have to take the time to understand what's what's moving the market. And that's what I'm trying to talk about. All right so to Ross yeah I went over earnings before. On Tuesday AMD Google Microsoft. And on Thursday Apple Amazon Meta. Right so it looks like maybe finding some. Resistance slowing down a little bit at the four twenty six level. Let's go back to hero. Hero level leveling off. Maybe waiting for the next leg higher. Right W.R.B. I see you've been typing for some time better wrap it up I've got about. Two minutes left. Okay great. Right W.R.B. says thank you Doug for the Tesla attention you're welcome. Hope to join the Academy in the near future. Great place. Highly suggest watching the. The webinars I think it may be free free for everyone. And he says you're married relationship between book map hero. I very paints a very clear picture. Look forward to over the coming months learning these programs for implementing great. Glad you're here. Thank you so much for your kind words. It takes time but I think the. When I'm trying to understand is one just driving the market.

Around four o'clock yesterday afternoon, Kentucky State Troopers say a resident of Kendrick Fork called 911 after a woman knocked on the door saying she had been assaulted. And as they began piecing things together, an extensive search for 38-year-old James Stacker began in Pike County. Through investigation, we learned that James Stacker and the victim were traveling together. At some point, she was able to exit the vehicle and go to the residence and call for help. We saturated the area and was receiving multiple tips and possible sightings of this vehicle. We were able to locate the vehicle there at the intersection of U.S. 460 and 23. The female victim received multiple lacerations throughout her body as a result of the altercation between her and the perpetrator James Stacker. She's being treated at Pikeville Medical Center but in stable condition. The perpetrator is being lodged in Pike County Detention Center for an assault first charge. Additional charges will come pending further investigation. James Stacker was arraigned this morning in Pike District Court and is being held on a $100,000 full cash bond. His preliminary hearing has been set for December 15.

With the 2020 U.S. Census approaching, Wisconsin has reached only half of its recruiting goal. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over 24,000 persons are still needed to fill out applications for statewide census taker positions. Those workers will go door-to-door in their communities to collect responses from those who do not fill out forms online by phone or by mail. Sheboygan County Census takers will be paid $19 per hour and also receive reimbursement for work-related mileage and expenses. If you are at least 18 years of age at the time of the census, you can apply at the Sheboygan Job Center tomorrow from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. Sheboygan Mayor Mike Van der Steen spent much of last week attending U.S. Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C., exchanging ideas and making plans to help make Sheboygan better. The mayor met with legislators working on such subjects as the Wisconsin Lake Michigan Marine Sanctuary and also with members of the president's cabinet to discuss so-called opportunity zones that will allow capital gains to be invested in the zone tax-free for 10 years, such investments have already enabled local efforts to move forward. The meeting concluded at the White House with a meeting with the President Trump. Students at Sheboygan North High School will have the chance to match their gaming skills against other schools as eSports has arrived at the varsity and JV levels. The Sheboygan Area School District announces on its website that the two five-member teams began an eight-week division schedule last week as part of Wisconsin High School eSports Association. Mike Jaber, the SASD's coordinator of Instructural Technology, said the students who might not be into traditional sports, band, or other clubs now have opportunities for scholarships as well as competitions that will decide a state champion on March 21st. eSports is one of the fastest-growing sports groups worldwide. Lakeland University recently announced the construction of a new eSports arena, joining some 130 other colleges that collectively offer $15 million in scholarships. At the high school level, Warner High School and hosts its own WHSEA team. The Waukesha County Sheriff's Office recently pulled over the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile. According to a sheriff's office posted on Facebook, the driver of the giant hot dog on wheels was given a verbal warning for failing to follow Wisconsin's moveover law that requires a motorist to move out of the lane closest to a vehicle on the side of the road with the emergency lights flashing, if possible, or to slow down and drive at a reduced speed until completely past the vehicle. The posting did not say where in the county or when the Wiener Mobile was pulled over. A 23-year-old man is accused of fatally stabbing another person in Lola Saturday in a road rage incident. Tyler Nutson is being held on charges of first-degree intentional homicide, and police were called to a scene around 8 o'clock p.m. on the reports of a man laying on the ground, struggling to breathe. A police report says it started as a road rage incident and the car that the 42-year-old victim was a passenger in, a vehicle nearly hit the car Nutson was in police. And police say all parties involved described aggressive driving from both vehicles, and both cars eventually pulled into driveways on South Main Street, and the two men began arguing when Nutson pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim. An autopsy showed the victim died of a stab wound to the neck, and his name has not yet been released. And finally, the five cases are currently with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention on identifying anyone who we should test, said Jean Ayers, the state health officer. We are pleased to say that we have no confirmed cases and one negative. Test results from the other five could take another 20 minutes and fever. During a busy cold season, State Health Department epidemiologist, Tom Hoppe says the new coronavirus can be hard to identify. There have been other outbreaks on other coronaviruses, influenza. All it doesn't, and that is our report for today. Join me again on Thursday for more local news and information on Community News Review.

Fantastic. Okay. Do you want me to do the slides or no? Do you want to press slides or something? No. Alright. Seven minutes? Write down your questions, write down any notes. Okay, I'll tell you. The one time there's a video where you can just... Okay. Okay, hello everyone. I just want to say thank you for asking me to do this speech. Also, it's good to get it off my chest because this fuckup really happened like two weeks ago. So it's nice to just get it out there. I just want to start off with why I'm here. The reason why I'm at the World Summit Awards is because when I was 15, I created a community of people who love wildlife. Basically, millions of people go to safaris around the world, in Africa mostly, and our community allows them to share their experiences in real time with people around the world. So people share a lot of photos, but they also share a lot of videos. So basically, one way that I use to grow the community and to get a lot of followers is by sharing amazing videos. This is one that I saw a few years ago on YouTube and I thought this would be a brilliant one to share. You can see a bird attacking a snake, and it's really fascinating and it's really rare. And so the first thing I did was I asked the sun and Jo and Yang if I can share the video. And she was actually part of the website already. She's like, sure, go ahead and share it and stuff like that. So we did. Throughout the years, what we're actually doing is every week we would share an amazing video. And over the past few years, we've been doing that once a week and they've been really growing and reaching millions of people. We're now the most viewed YouTube channel in South Africa with 320 million views. And so this was doing well. And because we have such a big following, YouTube actually started paying us. So when these numbers increased to the millions, we were getting paid by YouTube, we were selling them to TV shows and we would share the video or the revenue that we earned with the original person who formed the video and sent it to us. And when we did this, we started putting contracts in place, getting things ready, formalized and paying people a lot of money. And so this is basically explaining the partner program and how it works. We take the videos, we share it, and we get millions of people to view the videos. This person, he lives in South Africa, he doesn't work, he's a pensioner, and we've managed to give him $16,000. And especially for a pensioner, but for anyone in the world that's a lot of money, and he was really excited. And so over the past few years, we've been trying to grow our good name of people to join and share their videos and share their sightings with us and we can also get their sightings to be seen by millions of people but also earn some money out of it.  And so this is what happened to me.  And so this is the original video that I showed you in the beginning where there's someone who's actually sent in a few other videos and been earning off of it. Suddenly posted this on a group that's exactly who I'm trying to target, people who love the Kruger Park. It's a safari in South Africa. I saw this and she told everyone how we stole her video, how we haven't paid her anything, how we're stealing money and no one must join, no one must come in. And this was shocking. I was really nervous. I looked at this and I saw why she's saying this. We have been paying her.  I'd missed her one video, even though she posted three, the first one we didn't. And that's the one that did the best. It got 13 million views and we didn't pay her for that one. But the second we realized this, we emailed her and we offered to pay exactly what she would have earned, which is $3,000. And when we did this, we got an email from her back saying $3,000. I know for a fact it made $1 million. If you don't pay me by this Friday, which was like a few days from then, she would go to the media. She would tell the whole world that we steal videos and that no one should join and stuff like that. And so we get the numbers straight from YouTube and from Google and we knew $1 million is completely out of the question. There's no way. And so we said, we're sorry, we'll pay you what you deserve, which is $3,000. If you can get $1 million, we'd actually love to hire you because that's a huge amount and we can't do that. But she was angry. So then she went to Card Blanche and basically Card Blanche is the biggest investigative TV show in South Africa, reaching millions of people every week. And what they do is they kind of look at these scandals and try and investigate them and bring it out there to the whole South Africa to look at. And so when she contacted them, I was really nervous. Even though we looked at it from our side, we already done nothing wrong. We tried to fix what we did. We didn't pay her, we missed it out. And so we offered to do that. And so Card Blanche the next day phoned us and basically they said, we've investigated this, we want to interview you. And what they soon realized is that the woman that demanded $1 million, they realized okay, we messed up, but what we want to do is we've interviewed people you have paid who have joined the partner program on our YouTube channel and what they want to do, feel a good story. And so they did this and this was last week, Sunday, and the time that they aired this video, our numbers really soared. And we got thousands of downloads and people actually crashing our servers because so many people are uploading their videos to join the program. But what I really learned from this is that I'm now 20 years old and so I've got a lot of inexperience and stuff like that where I mess up and it sometimes affects people. But when these things happen, I try and turn into a positive, really try to make it better and stuff like this, that's what we did with this situation. And unfortunately, we still try to work things out with her. She's really demanding the $1 million, but we're working hard on it. And even though I've backed up, I thought the way we dealt with it is hopefully a positive and I've learned a lot from this experience. So thank you, thank you. Does anyone have any questions? Yes. Are there things to look at that could be YouTube videos recorded? Yeah, so actually basically everyone hear the question and also the investigative channel actually posted this. This woman was really angry and was demanding this from them and one thing that they pointed out is also who do this, they take people's content a lot and show it on their channel. They don't like doing also when people steal videos because it also kind of opens up them to also being attacked like this. But they did research what we had done and they found that okay, we did a mistake, we must pay it or we didn't pay it. And they knew that okay, we did nothing illegal but when they found out how much good we're actually doing, because it wasn't only paying people we were promoting South Africa as tourism and stuff like that. So the amount of good that we're doing because of sharing wildlife videos and paying people for that, they thought there could be a good angle to end off their sad or very hectic and scandalous TV show with a nicer 5 minute feel good story. And so that's kind of the reason why they posted it just because they realized okay, so we messed up, they also highlighted how young I was just because I'm prone to these mistakes but they wanted to do a feel good story as opposed to showing what we did wrong because it was just one person as well. So it was extremely hard to deal with. For me, I've kind of been the leader of this community since I was school and so a lot of the community members know me personally as opposed to just our app or our YouTube channel and so this woman then also then went and attacked me personally saying I'm steaming people's money and thieves and they wanted to close down and so for me, knowing that I've been trying to build up trust with this community and that's kind of how we've grown to so many people is by having trust and so it's kind of really hard to see people now thinking that I'm steaming people's money and when we weren't and especially when people claim millions, when it's not that much we hopefully it will be millions one day but yeah, it was really hard for me personally just because we've been trying to build it up so much on trust and this was taken out of the way. So the question was you know sometimes they change people's words and actually make you look bad or they would focus on the bad and what would I have done if they had done that and so that kept me up to night already I was so scared because basically with carte blanche if they make you look bad your business can be done by that weekend like people really follow it and if they make you look bad the whole country the people I'm trying to target and I think I'm a thief we planned hard we had articles ready on how the good that we do and we already got a lot of the community involved and saying how great we are just because what we found is a lot of people were angry with the only ones that were actually tweeting and even though it's not a lot it's like 10 or 20 they make themselves look big so we did get our community involved which is half a million people so it's a lot more than 10 or 20 and all of them being involved really helped show that we messed up on this one but look how many people we are paying every single month there are up to 200 people who have shared videos and are earning and so 200 people now are being paid and so they already showed they showed that we did one mistake but that was kind of our way of waiting for a rebuttal in case the matters look bad is by showing the amounts of people that we do pay and the good that we do Thanks
