Hi, I'm Nat Wilson. Welcome to A Language Landscape. I'll introduce you to five deaf performing artists who, through their use of American Sign Language, are reshaping the field of performing arts. Through stories, satire, performance, dance, and yes, even music, these performers will impart their views of the deaf experience. You may wonder how art and ASL come together. Linguistic research into American Sign Language has not only validated ASL as a language, but also has led to the realization that deaf people, by virtue of their language, are a genuine cultural group. As a result, these deaf artists have developed new styles, forms, and works that reflect their newfound cultural awareness and illustrate the unique visual and dimensional properties of ASL, creating a new kind of theater, ASL theater. You will see some of the forerunners of these developments who will show what can happen when artists from a visual culture use a visual language to create performances. Our first artist is Marybeth Miller. She is a founding member of the National Theater of the Deaf, founder and artistic director of the New York Deaf Theater, and co-author of Hand Talk, the first book to treat sign language in an artistic fashion. Marybeth has continued her sign language play in performances where she's known for her offhand humor. My hands? They're my voice, the heart of my communication. I wanted not only to play with articulation and delivery like any performer, but wanted to develop a piece that would personify the qualities unique to the meeting of sign language. There seemed to be all sorts of possibilities. I came across the idea for the piece Cross Hands, while I was fooling around with a hand twister, spelling a different word with each hand at the same time. The voice could never say two things at the same time. See in sign language we have a passive and a dominant hand. My right hand is dominant and it takes the active role while the left serves as a base. As you can see poor lefty is always a doormat. My hands inherently seem to have their own character traits. My right hand is assertive, amiable and extroverted while like any passive person lefty is more resentful and competitive. Offstage I'm able to keep the piece between the two. I even imagine they're learning to get along, but as soon as I get on stage, it's a fight for the limelight. I'll get you righty. Oh, I'm gonna really lefty. I said cut it out.  What is your trip?  You want to be a star? Okay, you're on your own kiddo. Oh dear, what do I do now? Oh, I know a song. Three blind mice. Okay. Three blind mice. Three blind mice. See how? Oh. One more time. Three blind mice. Three blind mice. See how? Oh. How? Oh. I give up. I'm sorry. I thought I could do it. Stay righty. I was sleeping. What's wrong? I want to tell you I'm sorry. I guess I can't do it with that. See, I tried to tell you, but no, you miss know it all. Had to do it your way. You always have. I got it. You got it. Okay, good. Maybe now we can get on with the work at hand. Okay, friends. It was fate in the form of two catastrophes that led me to National Theater of the Deaf. First, I should have graduated from Gallaudet College in 1966, but I flunked French, so I had to stay until 1967. The year the first professional deaf theater was formed, National Theater of the Deaf. They had just chosen eight actors for an NBC special and were scouting for four more. About then, several of us from college drove up to New York City for a performance. Not knowing any better, we left our car packed full of stuff parked on the street. When we came back, the car had been completely cleaned out.  We had just walked in when two hearing men came up and introduced themselves by saying they were from New York City. Well, that's all they took. I launched into such a tirade. I didn't know that they were David Hayes and Jean Lascaux from National Theater of the Deaf until they looked at each other, nodded and ended my tirade by asking if I would come to NTD summer school.  So I headed straight for NTD after graduation. There was a sea of people all competing for those four slots. I never wanted or worked so hard for anything in my life. When the summer came to an end, they chose me as a company member. I couldn't believe it. It's kind of interesting. Being with NTD expanded the scope of my work. All I had ever done was perform for deaf audiences. Now I had to think of hearing audiences as well. I tried to develop pieces that didn't rely on the use of an interpreter or knowledge of sign language. I chose classics that can stand without interpretation like Little Red Riding Hood or familiar items like this next piece, Pinball Machine. Our second performer is Ben Bahan, a linguistic researcher into American Sign Language and vice president of SignUp Publishing Company, which publishes and distributes materials related to deafness. Ben is a storyteller who has adopted traditional tales for quite some time. Here you'll see an excellent example of ASL storytelling in his original tale about an eagle family struggling with difference. Soon to be published, we're fortunate to have Ben perform excerpts from his story Bird of a Different Feather. I've been telling stories for quite some time, not the kind you normally hear. I take traditional stories and adapt them by making the characters deaf and by incorporating deaf experiences. You're about to see excerpts from a story that I created in response to a news item. The article concerned a three-year-old deaf girl whose parents could not accept her deafness. Perhaps their own desire to make her hearing, coupled with the promises of technical wizardry by medical professionals, led them to do a permanent surgical procedure called a cochlear implant. She can never take it out and it doesn't really make her hearing. Even more troubling, this three-year-old girl was powerless and had no choice. Even if the technology worked, what's so horrifying is the complete unwillingness to accept the reality or value of deafness. What they did is comparable to parents subjecting black children to experiments in the uncertain hope of making their kids white. I decided to create a story from her point of view to show the oppression of deaf people by hearing people who attempt to make us more like them at any cost. High on top of Mount Eaglery, Mama and Papa Eagle anxiously await the hatching of their firstborn. Look, dear, the eggs are moving. We'll soon have our little ones. How wonderful. So perfect. Three fine boys. The fourth one hasn't budged. Here it comes, honey. Cure! Heavens! It's not an eagle like us! Mama and Papa Eagle were in great despair over their youngest boy. His body was tiny, and worst of all, his beak came to a sharp little point. Beakle, as he came to be known, simply was not an eagle. But Mama and Papa were good parents and searched for remedies to cure their poor son. All the doctors pronounced the same verdict, surgery. But the eagles couldn't afford such a thing. Mama Eagle took Beakle to one last doctor. Ms. Eagle, he said, I do know a special school for birds like your son, which teaches them how to hunt, think, and act just like an eagle. Though you and I know he will never be truly like us, it's the best thing short of surgery.  Keep those beaks eagle like brush three, four. Very good class. Now let's try the wingspan stretch and stretch two, three, four, and stretch two, three, four. Look at our son, dear. The philosophy of my school is to teach them to think, act, and hunt like eagles. Here Ms. Winger is leading an exercise to expand their wingspan with enough practice and drill, while someday they may look just like us. Oh, if only three, four. After graduation, Beakle returns home and the family joyfully celebrates.  In spite of his perfect hunting techniques, day after day, Beakle returns home empty-handed and full of shame. To lift Beakle's spirits, the family decides to go on an outing to the next mountaintop. Excited to show off his well-practiced wing stretching techniques, Beakle relishes the chance to prove his worth. They begin happily, high in flight, but soon Beakle begins to tire. He can't keep up with his family who fly much higher and faster. Exhausted, he spots a cluster of trees where he might rest and begins his descent into the forbidden lands. What's that sound? Oh, no. It must be singing and it's coming from the tree next to me. Hey, hey. What do you think you guys are doing?  Who told you that? Well, my mother in the eagle school. Well, they're wrong. It's perfectly natural to sing. Come on, try it. Oh, me? Come on. Beakle poured out his heart in song. Never before had the others heard a song so beautiful. For the first time in his life, Beakle felt he belonged amongst others who were like him. Eagle alert! Eagle alert! Take cover! Beakle was in big trouble. Mama and Papa Eagle were horrified when they found out that Beakle had been so uneagle-like. Grounded for a month, Beakle sat alone, dreaming of the lowlands. Without even knowing, he'd begin to sing, which upset his parents even more. One night, he overheard his parents talking to his brothers. Sons, Mama and Papa said, I'm afraid we failed with Beakle. We've tried everything to make him normal, but he's still not an eagle. There's only one last hope for making Beakle an eagle, and that's surgery. Oh, Beakle. We're so glad you're awake. The surgery went well. I'm proud, son. You took it like a real eagle. I'm Dr. Beaker. This is the moment we've been waiting for. Here's a mirror. Just look at the new you. After his surgery, Beakle still wasn't an eagle. Although disappointed, his family tried to make him feel like one of them, and Beakle tried desperately to fit in. Despite all their efforts, though, Beakle was still different and just didn't belong. So he went back to the lowlands, hoping to sing with birds like himself. But surgery had rendered his song terribly out of tune. To his horror, Beakle realized that the operation which had failed to make him an eagle also had made him different than regular birds. Totally homeless. He flew toward the setting sun in the hope of somehow finding a new home and others like himself. Musign is Rita Corey, Bob Hilterman and Ed Chevy, three performers who formed a troop that has gained international recognition. Their love of music and sign language has led them to combine dance, sign language, and music to make a show that bridges the gap between deaf and hearing audiences. I come from a creative deaf family. My father was one of the founding members of the National Theater of the Deaf, and my mother was a professional flamenco dancer. So with their combined talents, I was inspired to develop my own work. I started signing music when I was 14 years old. Since I could hear music with the help of my hearing aid, but my parents couldn't, I wanted them to be able to appreciate music like I did. My brother, who's also deaf, was involved in music as well. He started his first deaf band back when we were in high school. Remember Chevy? Yes, that's when I first started getting into music. I had just gotten my first bass guitar. When I hit those strings, I knew something was there. So I decided to form my own deaf band. We wrote original material and did our own vocals. In fact, that's how I met Bob. Yeah, I remember we met at Gallaudet College. I played drums with you. You were a good drummer. Thanks. When we met, I had just started to learn sign language. I'm hard of hearing and wear a hearing aid, and mostly I associated with hearing people. But when I got to Gallaudet, I started to learn sign language. As I came to love it and get better at it, I started interpreting music, which I've been doing ever since. That's when we really started working together as a group back in 1971. But it wasn't until 1980 that we formed a professional company. My father came up with a company logo, MuSign, by combining the signs. Music. Sign. MuSign. LMA Lens is another ASL linguistic researcher, but also a poet who deals with language in her works. In the following interview, she will describe her transition from creating poetry in a written form to composing poetry exclusively in ASL. Then she will perform an early written work she has translated into sign language and a later work composed in ASL for which there is no translation. I began to write poetry when I was 12 years old. At the time, I wanted so much to be like other hearing poets, and that meant I had to write in English and of course make my poems rhyme. It wasn't until my senior year at Gallaudet College in the mid-70s that I began to create my poems in sign language. At the time, a whole new attitude of deaf awareness was on the rise. Research was proving that ASL was a language as valid as English and that deaf people are therefore a genuine cultural and minority group. We'd debate for hours over these questions of language and culture. Inevitably, someone would say, but what a shame that deaf people don't have music. Somehow, music, or their perceived lack of it, signified our lack of cultural development. But I was sure we had music. The day I graduated from Gallaudet College, I was on a train going home. Transfixed by the visual rhythm of the passing telephone poles, I remembered curling up in mother's lap during long car rides to stare out at the changing skyline. And I realized that such visual rhythm had always been my music. It dawned on me that this is deaf music. So I wrote a poem in English and years later translated it into sign language. Next, you'll see my performance of eye music. The eye music of the telephone wires with the music sheets with lines that rise and quiver, sway and lower along with the passing of space and time. No ears needed to hear nor any instruments to play. Eyes are the ears and the piano and flute are the wires and the occasional pole is the drum. Here is one bold wandering wire and now here are five dancing high and low in turns with the rhythm of the poles. Five disappearing into one again and then a crowd overlapping quickly and then slowly. So beautiful to the eye and heart. One wonders what happens inside? I had the opportunity to be involved in the early stages of research into American sign language, ASL. I can't tell you how empowering it was to have a conscious understanding of principles which I had only known intuitively. This knowledge along with my study of the structure of English written poetry helped me greatly in the development of my own poetry and ASL. As a result I no longer needed writing to make poetry. At first I concentrated more on form than content. I experimented with handshapes, movement and spatial relationships. Then I placed emphasis on the content as well as the form. In a moment I'll show you a poem never translated in English in which I link style, form and content called wedding poem. It was developed for the wedding of two Christian friends of mine. The style is based on the use of similar handshapes which would be comparable to English alliteration. For example, the handshape for one when combined with different movements are fallen from grace, struggle, pain, bickering and disappointment. The five handshape can say misery, fear, lust, anger, war, contamination and bloodshed. In form and content the poem is built on three icons prevalent in Christianity. The cross, the circle and the triangle to symbolize the meaning of marriage. In its simplest summation this excerpt of wedding poem begins with the crucifixion. Christ's sacrifice preserves God's spirit on earth. The crucifixion becomes a way for the spirit to become earthly bringing hope and joy to the world through everlasting love with God. The metaphor she uses for the bride and bridegroom are two candles burning for the love of God and each other. Their flame burns brighter when they unite as they work towards their larger goal of the union between human and God. The wedding of the bride and bridegroom symbolize the marriage of the spirit and the flesh, heaven and earth, human and God. There is no language to describe this next man's work. He is to ASL what Steven Spielberg is to special effects. Sam Supala, a filmmaker, ASL linguist and performer, has taken the language of the camera and wed it to the language of American sign language to create live cinematic dazzle. Film has had a tremendous influence on my work and how I use ASL in it. My family is deaf and has their own film production company so I grew up making films. We would discuss making the film, the scene sequences, the angles we were going to use and so forth. All this was described visually in sign language so that I was already seeing it played out live. But the finished film always disappointed me. It looked so different than what I had seen us sign. The film was too limited to real world representation. It just wasn't as rich as what we signed in our living room. In contrast to film, when we developed a scene in ASL, our visual language left more room for the viewer to imagine what was being represented and put the viewer in a more interactive relationship with the performer and the performer more free to imbue the story with personal nuance. It was live. In my performances I try to have the best of both worlds. I have expanded the parameters of ASL to incorporate the eye of the camera and its shifting point of view. While the abstraction of ASL frees me from film's literalness or real world representation. This cinematic technique became my style. As you have seen, the premise of ASL theater is the deaf experience and the power of these performances arises from their artistic expression of deaf culture. At the same time, these performers are exploring the medium and possibilities of their visual language, ASL, in a variety of ways and contexts, from the cinematic and sculptural to the traditional and narrative. What is truly unique about their works is the way they reshape the properties and structure of ASL to create a visual linguistic sculpture, which is also a new and exciting form of art. And this is only a beginning.

Hi, my name is Liam Roeb, currency trader and trading coach at Trading180.com and welcome to this week's supply and demand forex and gold fundamental and technical analysis. If you're new or warm welcome to you and if you're returning and equally warm welcome to you and I wish you all a happy new year. I hope you had a chill, safe Christmas holiday as well. So going into 2021, if last year was a great year, congratulations to you and hope long may it continue into this year. But if it wasn't as long as you're still in the game and you're managing your, you know, your risk, then make this year a good one. But getting on to the fundamentals and risk sentiment and this is a forecast analysis from JP Morgan. We were discussing this in our private members group yesterday and one of the themes was the US dollar. So will it continue to weaken? And the short answer from JP Morgan is it probably will, but modest, but modestly from current levels. Investors are likely to move money from the safe haven of the United States into higher return opportunities elsewhere as the global healing continues. Investors should be mindful of currency exposure and consider beneficiaries of a weakening dollar such as emerging markets. So there are reasons for a weakening dollar. I have really been saying this since September, in fact, August when the Jackson Hole Symposium, you can check out the video on my YouTube channel. So Forex Fundamental Analysis, this was it. So it's the one that was about four months ago. And we talk about this with the Federal Reserve Average Inflation Target F-A-I-T and why the dollar was going to more was likely to basically weaken and a lot of the guys in the group benefited from shorting the dollar as well as buying the euro. Again, these videos explain the fundamentals. And we talk about target, especially on this video here as well, which a lot of you have been commenting on and sending me messages on. So we were talking about the 125 area. But in the short term, you have to also look at the fact that there will probably be pullbacks on the US dollar, right? Because the theme and a lot of financial institutions are quite bearish on the dollar this year, which basically leaves, I guess, the market open for pullbacks. Pullbacks are going to happen anyway due to liquidity, etc. Everyone can't be bearish or one way without there being pullbacks because the market needs liquidity, right? So Saxo Bank think that bearish bets look a bit overextended. Doesn't mean it can't go down. And I'm not saying that prices go into reverse this week. But the financial institutions are heavily bearish, which basically opens up for a pullback. And none of us know how large that pullback will be, but just be mindful of pullbacks. But overall, pullbacks are good to supply zones where we can get bearish at. So looking at the economics behind the dollar, Fed's policymaking panel tilts even more dovish in 2021 rotation. So FOMC this week unlikely to even consider rate hike amid the pandemic rebound and new FOMC voters could influence debate over asset purchases. So if they're unlikely to hike rates anytime soon, it means that they're not looking to strengthen their currency, which is the US dollar. So changes in the Federal Reserve interest rate setting panel will make US central bank even less likely to tighten monetary policy in the new year, no matter how much of a jolt the economy gets from the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine. So at the moment, we are in a currency war. And again, if you want to know what the currency war is fundamental analysis four months ago, only 537 views. Let's get this up. This is a very important video. So the currency worth you don't know what's going on is that a lot of all central banks looking to devalue their currency in a recession. So that explains why we're in a currency war, but the Federal Reserve are not looking to raise rates anytime soon. They're looking to keep the dollar week, which is actually advantageous. And as we alluded to before, the US passes, well say alluded to, but we were talking about the virus. And there is obviously a rollout. The US passes 20 million cases as new year begins. So there is obviously the concerns of the virus still, but the market is actually more forward thinking because of that, because there is a rollout, you know, Oxford Astra will supply two million vaccine doses in a week in the UK. So globally, the pharmaceuticals are, you know, getting to grips with the vaccine and the rollout, which should be positive going forward. So I think the market is really priced in any kind of, you know, bad news when it comes to the spread of the virus because there is, you know, the vaccines that are coming out, which should want to combat the spread of it or at least from an immunization perspective. And while we're in the UK, Brexit has been done, right, but Brexit is a new world, is a new world business is, so Brexit is a new world businesses still figure out, still need to figure out. Okay, I thought I read that wrong. But yeah, so Brexit has been done. We've divorced from Europe, but the details still need to be ironed out. Yeah. So generally, what does that mean for the British pound? It should be quite positive for the pound in general for positive sentiment for the pound, at least in the short term, but until obviously, details start to get exposed, I guess, and the winners and the losers and see who is the winner, who is the loser of, you know, the negotiation and the agreement. So yeah, there are key issues weighing on the city of London after the Brexit deal. So we, in the UK, that issue is still not over, probably be rumbling on, depending on obviously what the details come out about the actual deal and who will benefit. So moving into Europe and economics from the ECB officials closely monitoring strengthening euro, right? So the strengthening of the euro is a problem we've been saying this for months. Not if you're obviously trading the euro and you understand why the euro would appreciate against the dollar or the dollar would depreciate against the euro, for example, but understanding that the European Central Bank is closely monitoring the euro's strengthening against the US dollar governing council member Oli Rehn told Germany's Bozene Zeitung, sorry for betraying that, while the ECB doesn't target the exchange rate, that does not mean that the appreciation is not important. This is what forex and currency traders need to understand if you're just looking at from a technical perspective. You won't understand these things and there's an edge beyond just looking at technical analysis that we can take advantage of. So an appreciation leads to a loss of competitiveness, meaning the GDP, for example, in a business cycle and the effects that outlook for growth and inflation, which is what the central bank's mandate is to monitor, right? So we monitor exchange rate developments very closely and will continue to do so in the future. So the euro has strengthened around 15% against the dollar since March and is trading it near enough, $1.23. So it's important because of inflation and also competitiveness and expensive currency is not good for an economy, especially in a recession. But with all of that going on, you know, gold is one of the assets that we should be looking at and gold caps its best year in the decade with the dollar on the road. So again, dollar depreciation leads to higher gold prices because it takes more of that currency, for example, the dollar to buy gold, right? So gold is a hedge against inflation and, you know, going obviously looking into the future into 2021 gold miners set for another banner year with focus on discipline. So analysts outmining stocks with strong capital allocation, stimulus, low rates and weaker dollar to lift gold in 2021. So that again will be positive weaker dollar. If that narrative still continues, then it should benefit, you know, gold prices. Now moving on to this week's economic data. This week would probably be all about the FOMC, average hourly earnings, non farm, sorry. Yeah, so FOMC meeting and we've got non farm as well, employment change. So it's all really focused on the dollar. You also have Canadian employment change and unemployment rate. So the forecast really hasn't come out yet, but I'm sure it'll be probably priced into price this week. Everything else you've got governor Bailey speaks, which is usually important for forward guidance. But I think that's pretty much it for this for this week as far as any kind of market moving news. Now let's get on to the technical analysis and starting off as we always do on the US dollar index. And the US dollar index is just a measure of dollar strength against the basket of currencies. And it's worth keeping your eye on as you can see basically dollar strength or weakness overall and look to take advantage by using this confluence on other dollar crosses and dollar pairs like the dollar yen and dollar Swiss. So starting off on a brand new fresh chart for 2021 and we have an area of supply here. We also have an area of supply right there where that swing is. And I'll just draw maybe about two or three of the relevant ones. They want to clutter up the chart too much. And from a demand zone perspective, there is a bit of demand from way back in 2018. I really don't like using 2018 demand zones. You've got to be aware of them for sure. But from a trading perspective, I'm not necessarily too keen on zones that have been there for the past maybe two years. Because the main reason is whatever drove prices higher here in 2018 is not going to be the same fundamental reason that is going to drive prices higher here. It may be technically yes. But from a fundamental analysis reason, it's not the same. So it's best to wait for what I consider proof of value of price does decide to go higher from here. Yeah, then it's just a case of a pullback into that demand zone. Then looking for long trades if you want to get long on the US dollar. So that's the way that I would approach that. Also as well, I guess many of you are looking at this whole wide zone here and saying to yourself, well, you've got such a wide zone of supply, why would, where is price potentially going to turn? So that's where you kind of can break down supply zones using support and resistance. We know that lower highs and lower lows proven value areas. So what you then want to do is within this wider zone of supply is look for prices to come up to here. And again, looking at the dollar index, you're just looking for confluences. So if price starts to turn around here on the dollar index, and we're in a supply zone, let's say on the dollar yen, then you're looking for, then you're looking for short trades on the dollar yen or the dollar Swiss, for example, with the confluence of overall dollar weakness at a, not only a supply zone, but also a technical area of what is known as support and resistance, which support and resistance are supply and demand zones, past supply and demand zones that have been projected into the future. Again, I have videos on that on my YouTube channel. So coming to, you know, I think coming to the end of this analysis on the US dollar currency, I think that's pretty much it. Fundamentally, you understand where you should be, what direction you should be trading, and then look for those price to reach those areas, look for confluence, and then look for trading opportunities on the other dollar crosses. Moving on to the to the dollar yen, some more, some more chart space. Again, looking at some some supply zones first, we've got to change that to supply. Right, we've got a supply zone right there, not necessarily the strongest area of supply at the moment, because it hasn't made a new lower low. We've also got a little bit of supply there, cluster of supply, I would say around there, and then we've got something up here. So those are the areas that you want to look for. And then from a demand zone perspective, we do have some demand right here. So we are actually in a demand zone, right there. So again, just looking at certain areas. And again, necessarily just trading on the daily time frame, you can zoom down into lower time frames, break down the zone where it is, where do you want to look for trading potential trading opportunities using daily zones, and then using support and resistance within those zones to understand that you've got the higher time frame confluence. So for me, again, it's probably more short on the US dollar yen, but I'm not looking to even trade this pair to be fair. It's not necessarily something that's on my radar. But if you are, then you are looking at probably buying opportunity right now, or looking at the first area of supply back into this 103 level, and then either the 104 or 104, yeah, 104s. And then you're looking at an area here. And again, if you've got this wide zone of supply, what you're looking for is areas of support and resistance. So that zone there where you can see price bounced off that area level, level, level, and then resistance, resistance, resistance. So this 104, 50, half number, round number around there would be where I'd be looking for short trades. If I was looking to trade this currency pair, the same can be applied to this area right here. You can see where there is support, support, resistance. And again, it's looking at that area of confluences of supply and demand. Moving on to the dollar Swiss, again, dollar Swiss. Let's look at where these supply zones were. So we've got supply there. We can kind of drag this down to around here. You can see what prices did come back and sold off. We do have a level of demand. I'm wondering if this actually held. Now I'm not going to have that there. We've got anything further back. No, nothing further back, not for a while. So I'm going to leave that not going to have any demand until price proves that there is demand within that area. And again, what do I mean by that is you really want to see price prove that there is demand there. Then that creates a nice demand zone here. And then you're looking for prices to pull back into that zone right there. So wait for the market to prove that there is demand in that area. In fact, I'm going to draw the supply zone from there. So again, continued bearish bets, prices to probably come up to this area here before looking at any kind of short trades. Again, just a bit of confluence within that area. You can see where there has been a bit of resistance there. Looking at the lower time frame, for example, you can see that there has been resistance, resistance, resistance. So this area here is decent for a for a sell trade. And for those of you who are in the private members group, this zone is also looks like a really nice CPR zone just above that 89 two level to the 89 to 0.89 for six level as well. So that would be preferable for a nice short trade. I do like that. But let's see what happens going forward. Moving on to the dollar CAD and the dollar CAD. Again, dollar being sold off. And we're seeing really supply around here, around here as well. In fact, there's quite a wide zone of supply right there. And then right there. There is an area right here, we've made lower highs and lower lows. And then we do have some demand here. So in fact, what you want to do now is look for potentially buy trades if you believe that this is a buying opportunity, right? So there's a buying opportunity for the dollar proof of value prices pulled back. Is that an area you want to get low on against the Canadian dollar? Or if you want to continue getting short, you have to wait for a pullback into that supply zone and then look for short trades. You do have again some confluence of support and resistance at the highs of that zone there where you have some support there, support there, and then resistance. This is actually quite a nice area to look for short trades. You do have another bit of a micro level within there as well. You've got a bit of resistance and a bit of support within that zone there. So the 128 level and then you've got the 129 area around there, which is decent for a short trade as well. Moving on to the New Zealand dollar, US dollar, and this has been an absolute tear. So again, looking back, I don't really want to keen on supply zones that were formed back in 2018. So we're going to focus on the demand zones. If you're looking for a pullback and the traders who had that trend trading philosophy, we look for, for example, value. So these are areas where prices are proven value. So what you're looking for is pullbacks to areas of demand because it made a new high. This is proven demand. So pullbacks into this area. Again, just break that zone down from a daily timeframe perspective. You've got some support here. So you've got support there, support there. So decent for a potential buy, if you believe fundamentally that the US dollar is still going to continue to weaken against the New Zealand dollar. So yeah, I think that's pretty much it for the New Zealand dollar, US dollar, pound dollar, again, the pound strengthening. We have nice demand. In fact, this whole area right here, very wide area of demand. In fact, we've got some right here and you've got there and there as well. So quite wide areas of demand. But again, where within this demand zone, would you be looking to get involved in and just break it down? So just put that across. That's going to be areas where traders are going to be looking for trades. And then you've got another area around here. So being patient, definitely be patient with regards to this whole area here. It's not a pretty chart, unfortunately, but the rules that we use, which are basically higher highs and higher lows. So high, low, and we've made a new high. So this area here becomes demand. And I've got a course on this. If you type in again, if you go to my YouTube channel, look in the search and you can look at the how to draw supply and demand zones, the course there, and you'll see exactly why it needs to be this way. But we can also break down this wide demand zone using horizontal diagonal and dynamic support and resistance. So I think that's pretty much where we are from a supply zone. Again, perspective, nothing until this was back in 2018. So I don't think there's anything I'd really be interested in shorting unless again, price proves that there is strong supply here. And then what you want to wait for is price to come back up to zone, which would be somewhere around here. And then look for any kind of short trades. And as prices does, you know, if it does come down, then what you want to do is move your demand zone down with price as it starts to come down just to clear charts. I know this isn't necessarily the prettiest chart in the world, but it has to be drawn like this because there is demand around this area here. Moving on to the Euro dollar. Again, we were looking at the Euro dollar long around here. We've been long on the Euro dollar since August. Again, go back to the Jackson whole video I did in August and September, and you'll see exactly why we were long on the Euro. In fact, the forecast, we were forecasting, or the banks were forecasting one to five, a target around here. And you can pretty much, we were down at the 116s, 117s, 118s, when we were making, when we were looking at these forecasts, and you can see what has pretty much happened there. But anyways, looking at what we got now, again, really no supply zones, not really interested in any supply zones from maybe over two years ago. So again, if you're looking at the buying the Euro against the dollar still, then you're looking for pullback into zone. And then we have also some confluence of that area there. So that's the first area we're pretty looking for. Level of resistance, resistance, bit of support there. So within that demand zone, that's where we're looking to get involved. And again, if you can't see anything on the daily, then go down into, you know, the lower timeframes, and then get a bit more detail as to where there may be some, some more detailed areas of support and resistance for you to trade. Remember, it's all about the fundamental analysis, though. Yeah, it's all about the fundamental analysis to determine the direction you want to trade in. And then we look towards the technicals to look for the entries, but really quite, you know, a large move from 116s to 123s. So I'm expecting probably a deeper pullback, hopefully into this 121 area. If it comes down into that 119 area, that'd be brilliant for a nicer swing trade to the upside. But again, looking for downside trades, again, you'd have to wait for price to prove that there's supply there before looking at getting short on this currency pair, short on the Euro, long on the dollar. Euro yen, again, Euro yen do have, I think we had a bit of a spike, did a spike above it? It may have, let's have a look. No, it actually didn't spike above that supply zone there. So what we do have is, what I'm going to do is I'm going to put this zone probably around there. There is a bit of supply around here, not necessarily the strongest, but there is supply around here. I still want to wait for proof of value, so I'm not too keen on that, zooming out a little bit more. Again, the nearest area is going to be back in 2019. In fact, just for the price to see that there is supply in that area, I will put it here, but I would probably rather wait for price if I'm looking to get short on this to kind of prove that there is some sort of supply here. We do have a bit of demand prices to make a higher high here, so this area here is demand. So if you are looking for a trend trade, then you're looking at this area here, especially like the low of that area. I think that's decent around here. We've got some confluence of horizontal support around here. You are trading at the highs of the range, though, so not necessarily the greatest. A deeper pullback would be advantageous, but with this currency pair, again, fundamentally, you'd have to understand why you want to be buying the euro and why the euro is a bargain at this price or why the Japanese yen is actually a bargain at this price, meaning that prices should want to go a bit lower. Moving forward and on to the Aussie dollar, and again, Aussie dollar, Australian dollar has been on the absolute tear, and this is due to risk on sentiment. You've got demand zones really all the way around here. I'll draw maybe three zones. Again, supply zones, not interested in anything that is too far away, waiting for this to prove that there is supply. So prices to actually come all the way down, prove that there is supply there, and then look for any kind of short trades if I'm looking to get short fundamentally. So from a long trade perspective, again, on a daily timeframe chart, I don't know if there's any real support and resistance, turning points, zoom out a little bit possibly around here. This is where traders would be looking at anyway, but I think in the short term, I don't think there's really anything worth. There's a bit of confidence there. You can kind of see it around here as well. So that's decent. I think this would also constitute as a bit of a CPR on the lower time frame here. So anything below that is a 75 round number to 7406s would be actually quite a nice buy trade if we are looking to buy the Australian dollar, which I am personally, again, not financial advice. So pull back into that zone there would be nice. Even lower be even better for me to look for any kind of long trades. Again, short trades, you'd really look for price to prove that there is supply there before getting short. Moving on to the Aussie yen, again, Aussie yen. Do we have any supply zones back in May 19? Not necessarily fantastic. I'll leave that for now, but we do have some demand in and around these zones right here on to the REIT. I'll leave it like that. So again, very similar to the Aussie dollar pullbacks into these zones here. If you think that the Australian dollar will continue to go higher, which I actually do and this is due to risk on sentiment, obviously the vaccine, the market is looking past any kind of major outbreaks of COVID. So these are really the areas for me. I think the this 7880 level is a bit too high for me. It's quite expensive. I'd rather wait for a deeper pullback into maybe this area here, the lows, the 7760s, if I was looking at getting long on this area here. Again, got a bit of some confluences around here within this zone, and that's quite nice. That 77, close to that 77 round number, is quite nice as well for a potential buy. And moving on to gold. So gold, speaking to traders in the room and some that are in, I mean, I'm still in on silver and a lot of traders are in on silver as well. But we've got some demand zones around here. This area here between 1879 and 1855 isn't necessarily the best area until we make real kind of higher highs until this proves that that is definitely a strong area of demand. I'd probably prefer prices to really kind of come back to this 1830. So pull back into this area to look for any kind of long trades unless prices do make higher highs. And then I'm looking for anywhere around these demand zones around this 1880. This first demand zone, if you are looking at getting short, there is currently in a supply zone. But again, the question you have to ask yourself is why fundamentally you're looking to short in that area, the next area of supply here is going to be at the highs. I do like this technically. I do like that massive drop. There was definitely the gold was considered expensive at this area. So if you are looking to get short, that area is actually quite nice. But my long-term bias is for long gold. So that's where those are the areas I'd be looking at getting long at. And again, I think this area is actually quite nice because we do have some confluence of support and resistance within that area. So that 1859, 1860 level may be decent going down to a lower time frame for entry. So that might be nice. As long as we've got some good risk reward upside. Yeah, I think actually this area here 1860 is decent for a potential buy. And then you've got a nice little intraday support resistance zone around here as well within that zone there. So those are the areas I've looked for by trades. But again, this is not financial advice, nothing of the sort. So yeah, that's quite a nice those areas to look for potential buy trades intraday.

Hello friends, welcome to the session. I am Malka. We are going to discuss matrices. We have to compute the indicated products A given matrix is 2 1 3 2 minus 1 1 and a second matrix is 1 0 1 minus 1 2 1 Well, let's start with the solution Let a equal to matrix 2 1 3 2 minus 1 1 and b equal to matrix 1 0 1 minus 1 2 1 Now we have to calculate the value of a b. Let's see a b equal to matrix 2 1 3 2 minus 1 1 multiply by the second matrix that is 1 0 1 minus 1 2 1 so this is equal to 2 into 1 plus 1 into minus 1 then 2 into 0 plus 1 into 2 Then 2 into 1 plus 1 into 1 similarly we write for the second row and third row This is equal to 2 minus 1 0 plus 2 2 plus 2 3 minus 2 0 plus 4 3 plus 2 minus 1 minus 1 0 plus 2 minus 1 plus 1 this is equal to 1 2 4 1 4 5 minus 2 2 0 Therefore a b equal to matrix 1 2 4 1 4 5 minus 2 2 0 which is a required answer Hope you understood the solution and enjoyed the session. Goodbye and take care
