this one's going to be on getting started with wireframes and this call is going to be focused more on the beginning of it on starting with it. It's going to be more for those that are looking to take their design skills and their design thinking to the next level. So what we're going to do is we're just going to focus on three key areas inside this workshop and we're going to keep it short. It's not going to be long. We're going to keep it short and then we're going to open it up for open participation but the key areas we're going to be looking at is first, what are wireframes? We're going to have to identify them. Then the next one is going to be why to use wireframes. So we need to have a good understanding of how wireframes work but also what benefits and value could wireframes give and then the next one is where to start if you are a brand new designer or if you are currently already designing but just want to improve and take it to the next level. That's what we're going to look at. All right. So first one, what are wireframes? So basically a wireframe, it's a blueprint for the website. The wireframe lays down the foundation and the structure for the entire website and the way I like to describe it to clients is that this is like the blueprint to the website. That's it. Pretty simple, right? I know we can go more into that right there but I feel like it's very basic. It's just the outline and the structure to the website and usually this comes right in the very first, one of the first phases of the design process. So let's get into the important part. Why to use wireframes and the wireframes, it has benefits and value to both the clients and to the designer and from my experience, I really feel like it adds more value to the designer especially. Now it improves the design process and it can make the design process go a lot more faster, a lot more streamlined. It's an extra step but sometimes when skipping extra steps could actually cost more time in the long run by taking this extra step, taking this little bit of time and building a wireframe doesn't take that much time. By taking that amount of time to put one together, you can actually save yourself time down the line. It speeds up the workflow. The next one, and this is where it really gave me a whole lot of benefit when I started getting into this process because before I started doing wireframes, I was just doing mockups on Photoshop. I didn't even know about Sketch or anything or I was just trying to build a website off the top of my head. When I started getting into the wireframing and looking at that, it got me to think more strategically and it got me to design more strategically because the wireframe, it outlines the structure but it's not about putting random parts together. It's not about just throwing a banner here, a call to action here, an image here. It's about really thinking strategically because if you think of a blueprint for a building, that blueprint has strategy in it because you got to have the supports in certain places. You got to have the way people are going to go through it, how they're going to navigate through that building and it's the same thing for a website. We're creating the blueprint for it and this is going to help to think about how are we going to navigate traffic through it? What is the purpose of this website? What is the goal to it? We established that when we're talking to the client, we get that part down. Now we got to think strategically how can we map things out and that happens inside the wireframing process and this starts to get into a whole other area of design which is design thinking. See, when I first started off, I thought it was all about making things look good and then of course we talk about goals with a client but what design really does is design is supposed to solve a problem and achieve something. By starting and going down this route, now we're starting to get into design thinking and once you open that can up, once you get to that mind frame, that opens up everything. That opens up something that is, for myself, I haven't been able to close because once you start to open up that thought process that we have to think of how are we going to solve problems and how are we going to achieve objectives with this design, it's not just about the looks anymore, it's about the strategy that goes behind it and with it and then we start to get into the areas of UI, the user interface and the UX because a wireframe, in my opinion, I feel a wireframe is part of the UI process. I believe it's UI because we're not looking at how something's going to look. We're not looking at the styles. We're not looking at trying to make something look really nice. We're looking at how our user is going to go through this, how are we going to strategically place content, how are we going to build funnels and so on. And now when we start to get into the benefits of how this helps the client, this really helps them. For me, I use this as a tool for collecting content as well. Now, I know everybody has their own system of collecting content. It's one of the big challenges in the onboarding process and working with clients. One of the big challenges is getting content because content is not easy. But I found that when I do a wireframe and I structure the content and I could even use examples of where to place the content, it gives the client a visual. It gives them something to work with. You could even leave notes in it. There's a lot we could do with it. But for me, it has really helped with the whole content collection process because also the content I'm not getting from the client is in all over the place or it is in huge paragraphs and essays and things like that. When I use a wireframe and I structure and I structure the content with it and I give that to the client and I allow them to use that for the content. It gives them an idea of what to write about because it was a process. It was a process of learning. But once I got into the design thinking and once I started focusing on UI and I started focusing on content strategy, I could start to see now what should we write about on a website. When I started building websites, I didn't know. I just looked at what other people are doing. By looking at what other people are doing, it's pretty hard because a lot of the times, the majority of the websites, their content just isn't done right. It's not done that well. So it could be looking at a bad example. So imagine a client. Imagine a client that hasn't gone through learning about wireframes, about user interface, about content strategy, about user flows, about building funnels, and about content strategy. How would the client know exactly what to write in what order and how to make the tone of their voice and those kind of things. So this really helps both us and the client with collecting content. Let me move this zoom thing down. And then it also helps explaining to a client why things are the way they are. When we have something like this, it's a lot easier to explain. Sometimes a client, they might look at it just purely aesthetics. They might look at it and they might have a request like, Hey, can we move this up to the very top? But we know by thinking strategically, by thinking on how user or their customer is going to navigate through their site, placing that at the top and moving something way down the bottom or removing something based on requests that we know is needed there in that process could actually harm the performance of their site. It could harm how users interact with their site, which ultimately harms their business. Because that mean a small percentage of a loss and conversion rates could be a large loss in business. So having this wireframe, putting it together, and then understanding the thought behind it and the strategy behind it. This allows us to go to the client and present this first, even before the design like here's a wireframe. Here's why we did what we did. Here's the flow that we're looking to do. We place this here after this element because we feel after they see this when they see this, you know, it'll it'll spark some emotional connection or you know whatever your reasoning is behind it. So the benefits and the value of having this in the process and taking this step is going to add a lot more on both sides for the designer and develop for the designer and the client as far as, you know, the overall value and end results of the project. And the end results also I'm looking at is the client experience. I don't just think about how the website will look, but it's also what is the client's experience through the website, through the whole process, through the whole process of working with you. All right, so where to start. And now some people might be already using design tools here and some might not, which is okay. And I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure that uh, most people, most designers, even brand new ones are already kind of using wireframes because the best place to start is inside a notepad. It's inside a pen and paper. That is the best place I always start in a pen and paper and I start to doodle and I start to think because when I start drawing it out, let me get out of the screen share. When I start drawing it out, the thoughts and the thinking start to happen. The strategy starts to happen. That's where things start to come together. And then after I, you know, go through the notebook or even a whiteboard, I got a whiteboard back there. Sometimes I'll use that.  We could even go through the whiteboard with them. But the other one is going to be the big three after, and I call it the big three because these are the three design tools I feel web designers should work with because these are the industry standards right now. That's a sketch, Figma and Adobe XD. And I'm going to go ahead and do another screen share on it because there's a couple of different ways that we could start using it. Starting to use a tool, it takes a little bit of time just like elements or if you're here, you're probably from the elements or group or just like using WordPress, or, you know, any tool when you start to use it, it takes a little bit of time. But building wire frames with these tools is a great place to start because it allows you to get to understand it a little bit better. And it's a lot easier to start with a wireframe than it is with a full out design. So let me go ahead and do another screen share real quick. All right, so you could actually use templates. Sometimes if I'm in a rush, I'll pull out a template. And I will use that or I could use that as a starting point. Don't always have to start from scratch. You can build one from scratch, but I'm going to show you both one from scratch, and one from a template. Now here's like a template that I have right here. This one I got from UI 8. This is just one of the design tools I use because it helps to speed up the process a lot. And with these, what I would do is I just get an open file right here. Let me minimize this window. I'll get an open file right here. And then let me go ahead and start an artboard. You could actually just go in and start to copy and paste from there and kind of build it out because right now we're not doing the design, we're just doing the layout. So maybe I want to use a banner, maybe a banner like this. And then you could just keep going through to the next ones and just keep finding which sections you want to add next. We could go to our features. Maybe that's part of it that I want to add so you could put our features in there. And then you could piece together your flow. And it could be that easy and that quick doing it. And I believe there's free downloads that you could find online as well. What I do is and what I would suggest to do is try to get as many as you can and find the ones that work well with you. Find the ones that work within your workflow. Like I got a library that I use and I kind of dip into it. And I'll see like I got one that's a light version right here. And I'll just like see like, okay, this one could fit within the project. But if you want to start getting more to your own high fidelity ones, and the ones that you create, you could start doing something like this, where creating a wireframe, let me go to the homepage. Some of this was copy and paste. Some of this I just put in the text. And if you look closely, I put in the directions for all the content. So a big part I feel really big part for wireframes that helps out is the content strategy on it. So a client gets this, okay, we know we're going to put a subheader with a keyword up there. So we're also thinking about the SEO as well. We're going to put the tagline up over here. But then we're also going to put another keyword right here. And then I'm also showing how big and how much text. And when I walk the client through this, I walk him through this whole process. So I first show him like, okay, this is why we do this is like, for example, this project was about travel videos right here. So we are going to use like some sort of a map thing, we're going to use some flags right here, we're going to use a pop up. And then I walk him through the text and the content. And I let them have this and I tell them like, so like right here, we just want a simple small paragraph, we don't want a huge paragraph and we want to just write about this. And I'll keep going through and sometimes I'll even write my own content and my own titles inside there. But like right here, if we zoom in, I'll leave instructions, you know, here we could talk about how content is curated. You know, this is something that actually came from the client. I remember on this one, through our discovery, the client kept mentioning curated, that was like one of the key words that he wanted to use. Then also after this, you get the approval from the client. And it makes it a whole lot easier when you go to the design. So what I did with this was I got the approval from the client. We had to go through a couple revisions, but the revisions were so quick and easy to do. They weren't like changing the design or having to be super meticulous. It was more just changing placements and things like that. And then after that, we could go ahead and turn the same thing into the design. And it's the same exact layout throughout everything. And the client gives the content. And then we got an awesome website and a good relationship with the client that really enjoyed it. So let me go ahead and stop the screen share. Wow, that was only 20 minutes, if that awesome. We're getting the time down, guys. We're getting the time down because some of our calls took a long time. And some of us have long days designing and running our web creation business. So with that, we're going to open up the call. So if anybody has any questions, has anything to want to add, I know I just touched on the surface. I know we got some other experienced designers in the call. So it'd be great to hear for me. So that's it for me. I'll go ahead and open it up. Most definitely. Wow, that is a very good point. Very good one. Because sometimes too, the request might be way out there and be on the development and could figure it out before we even get to the designer development stage. Because I don't know if anybody's done this committed to building something that is like near impossible to build because didn't think about it beforehand. So that's an amazing point right there. I know, you know, I like I've done it too. I'm guilty of it.  Sometimes like my skip. Because when I could get a client to commit and approve a wireframe, it makes also the design park go a bit smoother as well. Because it reduces the chances of the client say, well, like being confused or being like, no, that's not what I wanted. Because we could always go back. Well, we went through the wireframe. This is what we're looking at. And yeah, it takes diplomacy. For sure. It takes it takes diplomacy because you get egos involved. You get and as a creative, my ego could get involved too. And it's happened in the past. And what I found is when my ego gets in the way, the person really suffering as a client, you know, we're here to help with the client. Then I started also to look at this as opportunities. So I've been in that battle. I know that battle. I know it all too well. It's, it's a challenging one. But I look at it as opportunity to network as well. So what I started doing is reaching out to them and like, Hey, what's what's talk about it? We'll see because we got a process. You got a process. We'll see how we can make our process work together. And I'll try to like, that's like the diplomacy part. And ultimately what I found is, you know, 95% of the time, they also want the same thing. You know, they want the project to go well, they don't want to look bad to the client. And when you get two vendors clashing, both vendors are going to look bad. You know, it just doesn't look professional. So what I do is when we get to the beginning, so we do like right now we're about to start a project. And, and, and the person starting the project with, he's somebody I clashed with before, but I learned how to work with him. And then we started partnering with projects. But you know, he's SEO. And it's like SEO first, SEO comes first content comes first. And what I do is I actually do the wireframes. I'm like, sure, let me help you out with that. We're going to go ahead and create the wireframes. That way we could place the keywords in the content where they need to go within the design. So I'm going to give you the wireframes first. And I just kind of be diplomatic about it. It's like a give and take. You know, I like I got to be a little bit flexible with my process. But that helps them to be a little bit flexible with theirs. And then throughout time, now like this SEO person I work with, dude is really good. Like him, he is like really good at what he does. And I trust him. He is somebody and with SEO, that's two things that's hard to find. Somebody that's good and that can be trusted. And I found him. So like now I prefer him to clients. He refers me to clients. We network with each other. And then we also give, you know, the 10% commission to each other. So sometimes to get a project, I might not even use and, you know, like, and he throws projects and it's a win-win.


Can you hear me? Hello? There. Can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear you now. I couldn't hear you before just I just I Before I run to the gym. I hope you've held those traits. Did you or didn't you? Well, what do you think?  In fact, if I had seen where I was enclosed I would have bought another tent Well, I wouldn't have done that but I'm just you know I I thought for sure because the first round go you kill them and then you got back in and then I did see the market gap Up yesterday, I mean I saw the market gap up We held the gap up yesterday and I thought well that's interesting and I just went about you know My day I was on TV and then I just wasn't surprised at all last night. We were down I tried to text you on here. You must have been in bed I we were down last night big and then we're down now today and we're gonna fall today So whether we open here and we're gonna fall today on the live day Whereas the gap earlier this week we were down and then we retraced but we're gonna fall on the live day today So you held on to everything because because they were down a lot. Oh, I just I signed into the room and listened to Jaro for a bit And then I you know, there's obviously nothing going on But I was interested to see what he had to say.  So I Did even look at the market when it goes good good good Yes, I didn't want to affecting me because I also had the opinion that it was only doing what it was supposed to do yesterday But it was interesting in really interesting what happened and how things progressed and how everything After the clothes. Well, I don't again. I didn't even read anything yet But again, I saw this would happen last Tuesday So, you know, again, I did warn everybody that the market's very whipping. I mean, that's what I said I mean, I'm sure half the people killed these trades. I'm that Amazon trade I think everybody did it and I'm sure more than half the people killed it a few people to reach out to me about what to do But you know, this is why you just can't risk more than you can afford to lose so you can hold on to it So how much do you have of Amazon and what do you have the market? I? Have four contracts of Amazon. Wow, okay, I increased it. Oh, fortunately, I increased it a little too early Well, I mean yesterday. It was really cheap. It was really cheap yesterday But it was you still got a good price. So what's your average price on that? 833 I'm down about three grand. Okay, so then the other one the spy. What's that? What do you have the one that runs out today will be worthless But that's fine. I'm down by only took $500 worth of that because I did think we're pushing it for time Well, I mean, that one is the one you retook I wish you would have just the the initial trade worked on Monday profitably, but then you retook it So you see how I you should have just done the first trade you would have got out with profit You retook it and if you have you should have retook it then for extra time because you took it again a second time late Because really that trade was profitable Monday, but then you ended up Just doing something way different. But anyways, that makes no I did I did actually take some more out But for the longer period for next week What's your strike? I have the the 13th, but the same 255 Hold on to it. It could go there today Yeah, that might not be worthless. That might actually that that actually could work today I'm not even kidding you. I also increased that too from from six contracts to nine All right, okay. We just to see how that goes but I am We just to see how far we fall today hard. We're gonna fall. We're gonna fall all day We're gonna open and we're gonna sell off the entire day. We're gonna power trend down today We might try to we might try in the morning to do something higher as a fake out But it will be quick.  I am so proud of you for holding these trades. I thought for sure You killed them. I thought for sure you killed them So I'm so glad that you held on to him because you got to understand what's going on here in the chart And if nothing else just listen to me Oh, I am and I do understand. I mean amazon is a classic But this happens so often, isn't it where the stock pulls back And hits that resistance of the gap Which is what it doesn't happen that often It's just the way things are going right now Everything gapped up yesterday with the market and amazon was one of them too, but facebook could not hang on to itself yesterday I mean that we're in red all day Yeah, I'm also in facebook as well and i'm also in apple and both of them are down This one here Well, I don't know what you're in with this because the realest recent one of this went and was positive So you didn't get out of this one then Which is that one facebook I'm facebook now. I'm still in facebook. I'm in facebook to the 13th Well, then all right, then that's fine because next week is going to be crazy um Yeah, that's lower. Let's look at apple Apple increased my position in apple as well This makes me nervous with you increasing your sizes at weird places But I mean these are all going to work, but I really think that that's very dangerous for you That's something we could talk about in a longer Yeah, yeah, I mean I did that too early as well really. I should have waited Let me just look at this here quick But yeah apples down it's sitting at 170 50 out this morning. This looks better than a lot of things though I will tell you that I mean as far as the strength in the stock that golden apple netflix of all the things I'd have to say are You know, I wouldn't go along any any of these things at all But apple is probably going to work today because because everything's going to work today All right, I just wanted to check in with you. I gotta go go into the gym. I'll see you in the room I'm glad you thought everything manager trades today. You're probably going to be able to get out today Well, I don't know if I'll get out today. I mean, I'm I'm anticipating it to fall further I'm saying if these things have huge moves today, it's really fall Really you want to get out in a day when you have a massive move And we thought it was going to be a couple days ago We were down big but that and we still open down But I'm telling today doesn't matter. I just really don't even think of the economic news out today is positive I don't think it's going to save this market right now No, no, I think it's all down. Yeah, just need the chinese to uh to reciprocate to what has been said by mr Trump And that will probably send it further. Okay. Very good. All right. I'll see you later. Good luck. Yes. See you Thanks. Bye. Okay. Bye. Bye


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's CaseBrace.com. Happy Wildcard Sunday. We're getting into a little baseball here. 2022 Panini National Treasures Baseball, four box. Pick your team 20 our last case for now. Maybe there's more on the way, I don't know. But for now, this is it here on Sunday the 15th. Thanks for spending a bit of your Sunday with me. I appreciate it. Thanks for the fill, no filler. Just knock this out straight up, which I appreciate it. All right, so let's pop this case open. There's a chance that if you're hungry for some more Anthony Baseball, there's a chance that our personal breaks channel might have a box or two left over. And all of that is on Instagram live only at Jaspy's Breaks on the IG, at Jaspy's Breaks. Pick your team 20, first box. Good luck. Use this blank card here to hide the hits a little bit. And away we go. We're gonna start off with Abraham Toro, nine out of 10, a Seattle edition here. That's gonna go to Alan and the Mariners, even though that's the colors of his previous team. Looks like the Ravens got that fourth. And one. Here is Josh Lowe, 22 out of 99.  Going to Daniel and the Reyes. Like these, the field gear photography is great. Field gear, Charlie Blackman, 23 out of 99. Got a bit of the Rockies pinstripe in there. That's gonna go to Jared and the Rocks. We got Kohe Arihara, 62 out of 99 for Texas jersey and autograph. For Ryan Lind and the Rangers. Five out of 10, Mike Yastremski. American autographs for my rivals, the Giants. Chris Parent of the Giants. Carl's grandson, 61 out of 99. A Brennan McKay.

That'll be for Tristan and the Braves. Prime Trio's. Spencer Torkelson. Bobby Witt Jr. Seya Suzuki. Wow. That is seven out of 35. That's gonna be one happy person and two real sad people. Ooh, we'll do that randomizer at the end. Detroit, Justin Martin, you're part of the randomizer. Kansas City, Kevin, you're part of the randomizer. Chicago Cubs, Jeremy, you're part of the randomizer. Bob Turley, 23 out of 49. Big Yankees relic. Going to Matt Smith in the New York Yankees. And on the bottom, it's Clayton Kershaw, nice. Jersey and autograph, one out of 25 for number 22. Gives you that 22 inscription there as well. Thanks, Clayton. That's Ed Pete with the Dodgers. That one side of the book was upside down. This book? No, it was, I didn't even notice that. I'm a little upside down half on that one, Matt. Oftentimes, it's like the relics that are upside down, but I wonder if they're all like that, or if it was just one. 48 out of 49, Chris Archer, field gear. Is that a TD? Chris Archer, this is a Minnesota edition that's gonna be for Oliver. Bobby Witt Jr., nine out of 25. Nice piece of his jersey for Kevin and the Royals. Albert Pools, 56 out of 99, St. Louis.

Dan Logan remembers a lot of Otani was upside down last year. Two boxes in, two boxes to go. Saw a triple Thread Jersey Auto card today. I can't remember if there was a player signed on the Jersey piece instead of the designated spot for the auto. I've seen that happens a little more frequently. Those cases too, I always wonder if that's the only one they did it on or if they did it on all of the cards or if they did it once and someone was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, that's not where you split it. You're like, damn, I did like five of them like that. We've got Thomas Zabuki, field gear. 98 out of 99 for the Mets. It's gonna be for Barry and the Metropolitan's. Nope, and San Francisco.

I'm so ready for this one. I don't know what it is, but I brought a spoon Are you still going to do this?  Thank you for watching us on Patreon We are doing a stand-up comedy reaction. Yeah, we like to laugh We are fans of laughter This is called dark skin and getting married something we can both relate to of course Well can technically compared to me you're pretty dark Say something I think everybody compared to you is pretty dark Leland's pretty dark compared to me I'm a pasty is tasty just know that everybody Disclaimer this video is for entertainment purposes only and is not intended to cause any offense to any individual community or legal entity In case you didn't know what comedy was Yeah In case you didn't know what comedy was just go back and watch Mel Brooks and Don Rickles everybody and you'll remember what comedy was written and performed by Say his name for me. I don't want to mispronounce it Sikaran Sikaran a comedian from Hyderabad known for his clean comedy He writes and performs comedy in English and Tolugu Most excellent. All right, dark skin and getting married His yeah hashtags are clean comedy Hyderabad and pure veg jokes Pure veg jokes. Those are the classic ones. All right ready? Yeah, three two one Hi So my name is Sikaran. I come from a nearly nice family. I love my mother. She's a good mother I tell everywhere. She's a great mother, but she's unsatisfied She says I don't want to be a good mother or a great mother. Make me a grandmother But it's not easy difficult because it's not easy for me to get married because I'm very bad at first impressions Most girls who see me for the first time don't like me If only they spend some time with me and get to know me better, they start to truly hate me Even when I'm silently walking on the road minding my own business Any woman coming in the opposite direction instinctively crosses to the other side And number days with all this news about violence against women the moment women see me They start covering themselves with their sorry pollutes like this over One day I saw a girl do it and I just lost it. Hey, what are you doing?  She said no, no, no, no.  Forget others dark parents. I know Like when I was born in the hospital looking at me their first reaction was I They said it so loudly half the hospital thought I was a girl My mom made it her mission in life to make me fairer Unfortunately had a poster of Michael Jackson in the kitchen If his mom can do it, I can do it My mom spent more money on almond milk to rub on my skin and make it fairer Then buffalo milk to feed me. I was just born dark. I grew up to be dark and malnourished Like I'm a fully grown adult today, but my mom doesn't let me touch coffee or tea Saying drinking them will make me darker Boost and bone weight also banned People like my mom believe the color of what you eat affects the color of your skin That's why South Indians are obsessed with eating everything in bite Rice with curd Appam with stew Idli with coconut chutney Doesn't make a difference No matter the color what you eat the end result is still grown skin skin skin skin skin skin skin skin skin skin skin Poop jokes, I like them But I can understand my parents disappointment because in my family we have both genes My grandfather was dark But my grandmother was fair forgets South Indian fair Lights making him lighter because he did what's light to me Elbino That's how fair she was and They both got married Because my grandfather was dark and rich my grandmother was fair and poor Now I am dark and poor Branch of the family my cousins who inherited all the money and the fair genes.  You all know Lord Krishna Krishna means dark. He's described in the Mahabharata as Neelameghashyama Which means as dark as the rain filled cloud Then why the hell do they show him everywhere to be sky blue in color? How colorblind do you have to be? To confuse the cloud with the color of the sky That's why we can't predict rains in this country properly Remember TV Mahabharata Lord Krishna was played by Nitish Bharatwaj Who was super fair? That's like Leonardo DiCaprio playing Nelson Mandela We can't accept a hero can be dark skin Why we are just dark not shady. I don't think Lord Krishna was really a thief. No He was just the darkest child in Brindavan And everybody accused him only Because all the stuff that was getting stolen were white eatables But At least ancient India was a progressive time because in spite of all the propaganda Lord Krishna was very lucky with the ladies Not something I can claim to be I Recently read a report by Jeevan sati.com a coin to it 71% of Indian women want their husbands to be fair skinned There are 29% don't care about skin color As long as the guy is rich So in this country to whitewash brown skin you need black money face is red with anger But you can't notice it because of my skin color See I know I bought these matrimonial sites unfortunately But let's be honest this face wasn't exactly manufactured anticipating the arrival of tinder The highest my parents aimed was tell goom at remony.com And I registered on that site sometime back and there I realized that the competition for Indian women is absolutely brutal On these websites for hundred men. There are barely 50 women and NRIs take away the top 20 export quality girls The next 20 go to the two eyes of India IATs and IIMs Don't stand a chance. Yeah, clearly wrote in my profile. I may not be NRI or an IITN, but I'm healthy I'm a vegetarian and I do not smoke or drink even coffee or tea I Thought many women will be impressed by someone like that and I got five responses not from women But from people requesting blood and organ donations It was a bit painful But I took the money and registered myself on Shadi.com And I'm very proud to tell you just a few weeks back I completed five years as a fully paid member of Shadi.com Person in the country to reach this milestone So they sent me a congratulatory email And they said after five years on Shadi.com most men get into a committed relationship Or commit suicide So as a special gesture towards me they gave me a free upgrade To the fresh faces section of second Shadi.com And they're on that website I saw all these familiar girls who five years ago rejected me Got married had kids got divorced and again on this website again rejecting me They say I'm incompatible with their kids if you agreed five years ago that would have been my kid But a lot of people wonder if a product is on display either Amazon.com or Shadi.com Either it's a marketing defect or a manufacturing defect I'll be honest with you guys here. I have a small manufacturing defect. I'm a manglik Yeah, so before I can marry a girl. I have to marry a tree Now the only thing more difficult than finding a girl these days It's finding a tree But you may say but there's so many trees around you can just marry it. It's not that simple. What there are caste issues Like if you're a Marwan no idea money plant when you marry a touch me now Disgust you have to marry a hybrid So I was getting desperate like because all my friends had girlfriends They're taking them to the all these parks to do naughty things behind the bushes I was going to the same parks alone To do naughty things with the bushes But my very good loving mother she anticipated this when my horoscope was written so she started raising a plant in my house Hoping when the time comes I can just marry it But now my priest tells me because the plant and I were raised in the same house with the same mother We are like brother and sister and should not Yeah, so obviously there was a Not his fault Yeah, there was quite a few things in there that went completely over our heads And you know you can't that's that's one of the issues with stand-up comedy it's a lot of Cultural stuff that you just have to you you have to know And once again, it's not his fault. It's weird not of that culture. We don't understand it all the stuff I didn't understand it was pretty funny He does have a very self-deprecating style of comedy Which can be hilarious some of it was just from something maybe it was because it's I Guess similar to like if there was a black comedian and he was speaking to a completely black audience About things that happen to black people and they can all relate and laugh But right if like it's stuff that's also just like oh, that's that's really sad That's right. Yeah, exactly because it's it's rooted in truth. Yeah Yeah, and obviously so obviously since we're not part of that culture.  You're doing great man But obviously if you're in that culture you can laugh at that because it's probably very common thing Just like there's stuff with you know white moms black moms Mexican moms and and the cultures can relate to that But somebody from the outside it's harder to understand and it's just more like why you're you look you look fine, man. You're doing I'm sorry And and for those of you who don't know because whenever I hear a joke about and I always want to jump to Michael's defense Michael had vitiligo. It's a skin condition. He didn't purposefully change his skin color He was a very proud black man and it hurt him when people said He was wanting to be a white man. That's why he wrote the song black or white. He started to develop vitiligo during off the wall So look it up yet a severe case of vitiligo. So there you go my defense of Michael anyways, but He had a few that we could understand funny moments Once again, not really his fault. I think this one just had way too many cultural stuff that we just Way over my yeah, because He can say something funny and then we get lost in the cultural references that we don't understand And so he doesn't carry the momentum of it's unfair to him for us to give him a critique in some way because We're not carried along in the totality of his set. He put together a definitive set It's got a flow to it and it pulls us out of that flow when we don't get the cultural reference So yeah, I'd love to see him again and have a better understanding. Yeah, if he has other stuff That's not as rooted in the culture. Yeah If he doesn't that's fine, you know It's I don't I just don't want to you know Hold it against him that you know, it's it's that and those white dudes can understand all That


Aloha. Welcome to Cooper Union in a special edition as we are here in Glasgow at COP26, one of the most historic UN meetings focusing on the UN Frame Convention on Climate Change and looking at what will happen next for humanity and earth. We're very fortunate as our theme today is good to go to Glasgow. Indigenous proof is protecting the planet and have an amazing guest with us. We vote this is and organizes in his home community, but it's also a climate reality project leader working with Al Gore, making sure that the world is educated about the most important compelling issues facing our community and global civil society, but also is very active in making a difference. Roger, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you for this opportunity. Did you share with us some of the most exciting aspects of what you've seen so far at COP26 and what inspired you to come and participate in this historic global gathering? Well, I always felt that the voice of the global south of the indigenous communities, local people who are at the front line of the climate crisis are under-representative, especially from the global south.  And what I came to see here is really evident that so many indigenous groups and peoples are represented and I'm happy to see that. We have seen some of those gatherings here outside of any of them. It's so heartening to see that finally the voices of the global south are heard. That's a really good point as the world is looking which direction to go and trying to find guidance of what we can do and how we can all contribute to positive good policy. It seems indigenous peoples around the world and many of their countries actually have been taking care in our stewards of our nature and can actually share a lot. Yes, absolutely. I think the traditional knowledge systems of indigenous peoples have never been recognized. It's a known fact that about 70% of the remaining natural areas in the world are either inhabited or managed by indigenous peoples. And without the traditional knowledge systems, without the involvement of indigenous peoples and local communities around the world, the biodiversity and climate crisis cannot be addressed. We have to mobilize, we have to understand and we have to recognize the traditional knowledge systems that indigenous peoples bring. And we have been sustainable for centuries before the world was invented. And that is what the world needs to understand now. And this is probably the last chance that indigenous knowledge systems need to be brought to the forefront. No, that's a great point. And everybody's calling it the last cop. And it's the last best chance to save humanity. And as you said, it's the wisdom that existed about that relationship with the world. It wasn't that people didn't want to pursue profits, didn't want to just blindly follow a model of markets, but that you actually understood from that intimate relationship in Hawaii that where we malama, where we take care of the earth, that we know then the earth take care of us. And that's one of the aspects that hopefully the world is beginning to understand as we are seeing we're on a precipice with our planet and the natural world. And this is one of our final chances. But then it also corrects historical harm of denying the rights of indigenous people. So in a way, we can do both, we can make sure that we protect the planet, but also do something that should have been done a long time ago for indigenous peoples. And it's great as you're sharing being from India, that then people understand indigenous peoples are all around the planet. And the story of colonization is similar. But the exciting part is after all that resistance still existing, that maybe we have a formula for fundamental freedoms to making the world a better place. Yes, we really need to understand that the lives and cultures of indigenous people are intertwined with the biodiversity around it. That means understanding that traditional knowledge is understanding that we need to conserve the biodiversity around us. And that itself is a solution to the biodiversity crisis, the climate crisis. And it goes in direct. It agrees with the sustainable development goals as well as the even decade of goals for ecosystem restoration. The world needs to recognize and bring that to the forefront at this point. That's an excellent point. It is true that that relationship and harmony with our environment is the way that we must think about all of our public policy, all also as well, all of the entrepreneurship that's existing, and to see the new path forward. And if we look at some of the main issues that were being addressed, I think the first one that came up that maybe you might be able to share about as well as we know India made a big speech this week. We know President Joe Biden was there. We know Modi was there. Could you give us some perspective of if you believe that was enough? And what next should be done to fulfill this plan? I think when the goals for the COP26 were outlined earlier this year, adaptation of affected communities was one of the four goals. And that has to be a key point. It has to be about people. We cannot have just numbers. We cannot have 2060, 2070 that you cannot have net zero. That is not the point here. The key point here is that people are being affected by the climate crisis, lives and livelihoods are lost. And that is what the world needs to focus on. I know of communities around India who have been suffering from the worst effects of climate change, and they need the finance to help them overcome these impacts. They need to move up in their lives. You know, they need to have the basic minimum living standards. And that is not even the topic in this COP. I mean, that should be the people's impact. What people's suffering should be the, you know, center of this discussion, not the yearly goals, not the numbers.  It's not about the six. It's about the sincere ability to make sure that everyone can live to their full potential. And what we're discussing here today, what we're discussing here today, actually, conscious decisions to save. And I think you brought up a really good point. When we look at climate crisis, the people who have done the least are being impacted the most throughout the forefront. That can really begin from there. And when you look at the Paris Agreement, there was a huge element of equity and equality on top of ecology. And I think you're highlighting some of those points here. And it's great to make sure that Indigenous peoples are having an impact this COP. About Modi's speech, also about some of the other leaders, do you think we're moving in the right direction? I do not think that, you know, we should be setting targets on a yearly basis. I mean, going, thinking of 2070 and not really targeting net zero by 2050 is a disaster. We should have been talking about achieving the target much sooner than 2050, considering that lives and livelihoods of millions are at stake. We are at a catastrophic tipping point. But we can now control it beyond this, maybe we do not know what will happen. Why wait for something that we can not control? Why not try to control it when we know that we can still bring such a catastrophic collapse of humanity to a halt and have a more equitable world. That's a bit of focus of world leaders, not, you know, not continue support for fossil fuels. We have had two centuries of fossil fuels where we have to take it. We still have 800 million people who are going hungry. We have millions who are in poverty, who have no basic education. This is not right. We need to change the entire development model. And make sure that we have a more just and equitable work. It is not about numbers. That's what I said earlier. It's not 2050 to 2070. I do not agree with any world leader who focus on the year we need to go to net zero. The thing is, we need to keep fossil fuels on the ground and stop the use of coal and work together towards the most sustainable world, especially ensuring that the most affected people are finally given the rights that they have been deprived of as human beings. It's about people. That's a great point. And it reminds me that there are two documents, the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples that every country in the world has recognized, but also ILO Convention 169, which I believe also India is ratified. So in a way, those two international instruments sort of provide a road map. And it's also a road map of reconciliation, but also making sure that the world has a positive path moving forward. And so it's rooted in human rights, but it's also taking care of the environment at the same time. Yes, unfortunately, we have seen that many countries are making international commitments. They're having stated both, but on the other hand, they are also having national policy decisions. They're making rules and regulations that are in contravention of this international agreement and goals. So it is not given for certain that, you know, anything that has been declared internationally actually is implemented on the ground. So we have to ensure that it is, if the world leaders are not being truthful, they have to be pointed out. And it is high time that the youth of the world recognize that, you know, what is said is not been implemented. Forget about, you know, what is not been said. We are not hearing what we want to hear. But even what we are hearing is not been implemented on the ground. So that's a big, big issue. There's a lot of promises, but there's also a lot of peril. And what we're trying to balance here is seeing a new way forward. And you can see and even hear her breathing here as we walk the halls of the blue zone, the green zone and all the different sides of it. You can really see people coming together, demanding a new direction. And as you point it out, we don't want dates down the line. It's what can we do here and now? And how can we transform and start seeing things through the lens of culture, through the lens of peaceful societies, through all those aspects, and not only looking at economy, which has been what has got us to the place that we are today. Can you maybe share a bit about what are some of the major challenges that indigenous peoples are facing in India that you see are common with indigenous peoples in other parts of the world? Well, indigenous people from the very beginning for centuries, they have been sustainable even before the world was even before the world was invented. And then I feel that most indigenous communities are by nature. You know, they are not polluting. They have zero waste. And basically, they have a very what we define as circular economy. So they are very within their own communities, very sustainable. And they have been so for centuries. And right now, we see a destruction of that sustainability. In other words, indigenous people are facing challenges from all sides. Political exploitation is one or they have been ostracized for a long long time. But at the same time, they are facing challenges of food security, water security, with the natural areas been exploited for development activities, and then opening up of new natural areas that are usually managed or inhabited by indigenous people for especially linear development projects or for extractive industries, I think provides a new challenge. And without having contributed to a much greenhouse gas emissions, they have to bear the worst impacts of climate change like floods and erosion that we see across India, particularly where I live in Assam, that are appearing communities have to deal with increased intensity and frequency of floods. In the coastal regions of India, communities, you know, were basically engaged in fishing have been affected very much by flood surges, by storms. And then in the interiors of India, a lot of farming communities are affected by the water crisis, which has been extended for many years now in India. And we have drought like situation with rivers, running dry wetlands, so without having contributed much to the emissions ever in their entire history, it extends to maybe 10,000 years. The last 200 years since the disaster, they are losing lives and lifestyles, the cultural heritage that's taken. So I think indigenous people and local communities are the worst affected in terms of climate change impacts. And it is not just in India, not just in Assam where I live, it's across the world in Amazon, in the Arctic, across Africa. And they are not here. They're not in the on the negotiating table. That is the residue of this, you know, our time of I think it's like humanitarian crisis, the biggest order. It really brings up a good point. What we're calling for is an end to the exploitation and end to extraction, and creating a new culture of exchange and experiment that's rooted in equality among all people. And what's so exciting about these hop negotiations is it really does see a new direction that's rooted in dignity. And that's also in a way it's an earth democracy as Vandana Shiva has maybe referred to it, where we're now seeing what matters most. And really getting to what you're saying is a people-centered approach to global politics, one that's definitely from the community to our capitals, and then to the global civil society, but also realizes what Gore talks about when he looks at that fragile blue planet floating in space and realizing that we really only have one island earth. Yes, and this earth, one planet is shared by all of us, or all the people of the world are one, they are born as human beings, and all human beings deserve to have the minimum basic standard of life. If we look at some of, you know, the impact that people have for no fault of their own, I have seen, you know, living standards have not developed at all, and they are going down. They are in poverty and their lifestyles have been affected. People with children are not going to school, women are suffering so much, people still have to walk for miles to carry water. And even people living near the rainforest, which are supposed to be, you know, water abundant, are sometimes suffering from water crisis. What is this? These are because of exploitation of natural areas. These are because of extracting industries. And these are not doing good to anybody. We are just, you know, building up a world where only the corporate interests matter. And the politicians are here to protect the corporate interests. We need to change the world order. We have to bring indigenous people in as the stakeholders, you know, because the control managed over 70% of the earth and they have been doing so sustainably for millennia before the industrial revolution. We have to go back to those times. That's an excellent point in that point that that's where we need to recalibrate what matters most. And as you pointed out, an unimaginable amount of money has been made by a small percentage. And it's crazy when the larger percentage of humanity is not even able to barely survive. And so we do see if we use the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People as well as looking at the Paris Agreement and maybe even the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Can you share how the Sustainable Development Goals, the 2030 Agenda plus the Paris Agreement, maybe contribute to create campaigns for indigenous peoples and more importantly, to protect our planet? Absolutely. I think in the Paris Agreement, in the Sustainable Development Goals, we have a framework where basically the organizations which are deciding the fate of humanity can come on board and talk. This is not just the government, but all the non-governmental organizations also come on board. And together, I think everybody needs to sit down and, you know, I like the fact that the UN has named this as a decade of ecological restoration. And to achieve that, we need to have the ingenious voices, we have to have the traditional knowledge systems in place. And probably this is the last decade of where the Paris Agreement Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals all can be achieved together. But the key is to bring indigenous stakeholders into the picture making process immediately and give the power of governance to them, make the funds available so that ecosystem restoration works so that Sustainable Development Goals can be achieved so that climate literacy is not something that only urban, you know, youth are able to get. Everybody should understand that the world is changing and why and what are the impacts and consequences and how we can take positive steps to ensure that we stop that catastrophic effect now. And when you think about it, we really only have 98 months left. We have 98 months to get it right. And if we don't get it right, we will definitely see a situation where we already see now, we see our forests on fire, we see our ocean levels rising, we see huge amounts of drought and also unimaginable aspects of people actually losing the ability to even control nature and the environment. So there's so much going on around us at these excited tops. What we need to look at is to decide what's possible and how we can do that as we go forward together. But what's important is as Indigenous peoples and at this top that we stay focused no matter what's going on around us on what matters most. And I think we can maybe share what has it been like for you to work without Bore and the Climate Leadership Project and what are some of the things that are done in India and what are you doing here to make sure that people know about the most important points so that we can save our Yeah, that's a great question. And I think the Climate Reality Project actually empowers a lot of people to be effective communicators of climate change. And me, I'm myself from a non-scientific background and I think the Climate Reality Project has given me the training, the expertise and the resources to talk about climate change and the solutions available to people all over the world. And this has been incredible. It has been such an incredible journey to network with like-minded people from all over the world. I mean, we have Climate Reality Project in over 100 countries, almost all countries of the world. And then we are able to come together, replicate success stories, you know, share the best practices. And then we have the confidence as indigenous leaders, as people from different backgrounds, from the most remote space corners of the world. I travel like 30 to 40 years from Assam and to be able to even speak with you here and talking about my people back home and about climate justice. This itself is empowering. I think all the global organizations like Climate Reality Project and Mr. Boris leaders have given us the confidence and the network to do this. That is great. And I've actually been to Assam. I was working on an Indigenous Rights Project around five years ago. So it's great to connect with you here and be part of that Climate Reality Project, Ohana, our family as we call it. What are some of the things you'll be doing for the remainder of your time here? And how do you think that will also help the people back home? Yeah. So I have been a voice of the original people as they're listening to the Earth at the National Prebellion yesterday. I was also able to have a conversation with the BBC and there was a talk just on the BBC News last night and that's also about the climate justice and the need for finance, climate finance to reach where people are most affected. And then I have another talk at the class of Kelvin College organized by Climate Reality Europe on the 9th with some of the top climate scientists and activists. And then the next week we'll be in the blue zone and I look forward to interacting with a lot of fellow climate activists also take part in the negotiations and come to my bed as an observer. Yes. So please pace yourself. As we know we have a very long time still to go but it's exciting to be here at the end of that first week. Has there been anyone you've seen or heard that was inspiring that you had not heard before? Or what were some of the words that Kelvin got you thinking about? What more we can do together? Yes. Yesterday I had met Mr. Tom Boll too from the Indigenous Environmental Forum from the U.S. and it was inspiring to listen to him and I really find that I'm motivated to ensure that Indigenous communities from India and all of Asia are brought together on the common path along with Indigenous people in local communities from around the world so that we have a common platform and a voice and we can work together in the future to ensure that this rise and the changes that we need to make happen are achieved as fast as we can before the consequences and the tipping point So one quick idea as I know we're running out of time and we all have to get to our next event and we thank you so much for taking time at your busy schedule here at POP. What are one or two actions that people can take at home for watching? And what are one of the two things that you think you'll do as soon as you get home when you return after this important two-week summit? Well first and foremost it's important that each one of us understand that what is happening around us in terms of environmental impact is directly a consequence of what we are doing as individually, as a community, and as a reason. So if our politicians make the wrong choices, if companies continue to exploit nature, mother nature, then we are all going to suffer. Climate change is not something that's happening in some other areas, some other people, but it is happening to all of us here and we are all responsible and we are all in it together. We have to act together so that our future generations do not suffer the worst consequences that so that our children and the generations that come after them are protected from having to deal with something that they were never responsible for. So when I go back home I am sure that I'll be able to continue my message as the ambassador for climate impact and for more sustainable ways of living. For more informed consumer choices, which is, I think, critical because at this moment no one is immune and no one can say that I do not care about the environment. We are all born of the earth, we will return to the earth and must take care of it when we are living on this earth. Thank you so much and it is true. This is really our duty for us all to share this information because it's not covered as a crisis in the media and people aren't aware and we believe if people have the knowledge and the information they can take the steps to then live a life of sustainability and solidarity with one another. So thank you again for taking time out. You also did remind us a very big point. They used to say today to value tomorrow you but the truth is we're all on the front lines now and we can see that it's imminent and therefore we must have innovative initiatives to make sure that the Paris Agreement is achieved and we protect our planet and preserve it for future generations. Thank you so much for joining us today. Thank you. Thank you.


Excellencies, distinguished guests, colleagues, it is an absolute pleasure for me to launch today the Policies and Practice Guide to Gender Responsive Implementation of the Global Compact for safe, orderly and regular migration developed by UN Women. This is a matter that it is particularly close to my heart in my capacity as the Director General of the International Organization for Migration as well as the coordinator of the UN Network on Migration, but also as an International Gender Champion. Every stage of migration is influenced by gender, from the reasons for migrating to the opportunities to migrate, especially through regular channels, from the work performed to the experiences gained and the challenges faced throughout their journeys. Gender equality is at the very heart of the United Nations values. Equality and non-discrimination are fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter and the key commitment of states in the global compact on migration.  Women account for approximately half of all international migrants and contribute immensely to the prosperity of their families and communities and to the sustainable development of their countries of origin and destination. For many women and girls, migration can be a positive experience that is an expression of their agency and the vehicle for their empowerment and that of other women. Too often, however, laws and policies reinforce gender discrimination and existing gender inequalities, hampering the benefits of migration for migrants, their families and societies. The global compact for migration promotes the human rights of all migrants irrespective of their migration status. The GCM's guiding principle on a gender-responsive approach means that laws, policies and programs need to address the specific gender-related needs, priorities and challenges of all migrants and work to advance gender equality. This especially includes migrant women and girls, recognizing their independence, agency and leadership and moving away from viewing them through a lens of victimhood. They are right-holders and decision-makers. States should foster their full and meaningful participation in migration policy-making and land ownership in all spheres of life as part of the implementation of the global compact for migration. The global compact also contains a commitment to eliminate all forms of discrimination and specifically to prevent, detect and respond to multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination including on the grounds of sex, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression and sex characteristics. Effectively ensuring gender-responsive implementation of the GCM requires an understanding of the social structures, social norms and stereotyping and power relations that frame not only migration laws and politics but also the economy, social dynamics, family life and community life. COVID-19 has had devastating social economic impacts everywhere, threatening to reverse years of progress in advancing gender equality. The pandemic has exposed migrants to situations of heightened vulnerability, rights violations and lack of decent work, which are exacerbated by gender-based discrimination and violence. Women and girls, as well as those who are transgender, gender-diverse or intersex, are at an increased risk of gender-based violence, trafficking in persons and labor-marketed occupational segregation and unequal remuneration at all stages of migration. Despite these challenges, women migrant workers around the world have been on the front lines of the pandemic, contributing significantly to societies they live in and playing a key role in pandemic response and recovery efforts. Therefore, it is an opportune moment to launch this guide today, as it provides policymakers and practitioners with concrete measures for gender-responsive implementation of all 23 GCM objectives. And it is my hope that it will be used by a wide group of stakeholders to ensure that the rights of women are promoted and protected at all stages of migration. The guide also recognizes that well-governed migration contributes to building back better from the pandemic and towards achieving the sustainable development goals during this decade of action. Excellencies, in line with the commitments to ensure that the implementation of the GCM is human rights-based and gender-responsive, governments must place human rights and gender equality at the art of their evidence-based migration policies, programs and services, and recognize the crucial role of advancing gender equality and the empowerment of migrant women and girls to recover better, faster and stronger from this pandemic. To assess progress in meeting these commitments, I call on countries to conduct gender-sensitive research, capturing and analyzing sex-disaggregated data and gender statistics and developing gender-responsive indicators in line with target 17.18 of the Sustainable Development Goals for effective target setting execution and monitoring of national GCM implementation plans and roadmap. Not having evidence-based gender-responsive migration policies in their global efforts towards gender equality and it limits our collective commitment to the GCM and the potential to maximize benefits from migration for development. We must recognize that women, girls and people of diverse gender identities are also part of the migration phenomenon and they must also be part of the solution to make migration safe, orderly and regular. Ending all forms of gender-based discrimination and equality is not only a human rights imperative, it is crucial to achieving sustainable development. This guide will support you in this endeavor. Thank you.


Russian officials said early on August 22 that the military had brought down four Ukrainian drones near Moscow and over the Bryansk region that borders Ukraine. One of the drones was shot down over Krasnogorsk, a town outside Moscow, that hosts the Moscow regional government. Emergency services and police were at the scene. Investigators were seen collecting debris and what looked like drone fragments. Russia's Defense Ministry said there were no injuries in the latest attack. Airspace over the Russian capital was briefly closed in three major Moscow airports suspended flights, TASS news agency reported Ukraine does not directly take responsibility for drone strikes on Russian territory that have increased recently.

The Tiger, Financial News Network. Update. Hi everyone, Basel Chapman on this 15th day of March, the aides of March. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be the hives of March. We're looking at the Dow up 222 at $33,168. A nice recovery, finally getting back to that nine period exponential moving average in the daily chart. It needs to get to $33,370 to touch the 14 period moving average. With the Fed coming up tomorrow, I suspect that we could have a choppy market and then some kind of a pullback waiting for the Fed. But this market is so oversold. Look at this. This is the cluster formation of four sessions going sideways after the most recent low. And here we are. This is the fifth session, a green candle. Hopefully the rally can last and give us a little cushion for tomorrow. We're looking at the S&P. The S&P at this particular point is trading up $35 at $4208. Oh, it's got a long way to go to get to the $4240 level that was resistance yesterday. That's on the daily chart right here. That's that pink moving average. A weekly chart is still looking poorly. You can't talk about the month. It's got a whole two weeks or more to go. Looking at the QQQ. QQQ. One, two, three. Qs are up $3.50 and $3.21.68. They have just been hammered. There's that lowercase H pattern actually took out the left side low yesterday. Went to the $3.17s. Oh, it really needs to have a rally here. The IWM, the Russell 2000, that is trading. That's about up one at $193.83. Also really struggling. Gold. Gold got smashed earlier on. Let's come back a little bit. It's down 39 at 1921. You've got really that whole area going towards 1900. It must become support. Otherwise, that gold is going to take quite a dive in percentage terms from the high that was made in the 2078 level. You're looking at crude oil. Crude oil also is pulled back sharp. It's down eight points at 95. It's touching the 50 period exponential moving average. That's 130.50 to 95 in just 67 sessions. It's like the way up. This is the Eiffel Tower. Straight up, straight down, uppercase A pattern. And this is really serious. The TLT. Running today at $1.34, $1.3310 after smashing past at $1.3498. Left side low of February. Yep, of February. We're going to see what the Fed does. But actually, rates are doing it for the Fed. The yields have gone higher. I'll be back in a moment for the target conditions. I hope you can say check out my opinion, call my daily news.


Okay, we are doing platoon certification for the Brigade Engineer Battalion and this is a demolition range that will certify our sapper individual squads and platoon. The importance of this training is to validate every individual in this battalion in order to be a more lethal force as we prepare to continue in our collective training progression for the battalion to get certified in our focus. The safety precautions that we take place of course is always like we handle demolition so it's a lot of it has to do with the distance from the actual blast and it's correlated with the amount of explosives that we use. So right now we are perfect distance and we are also behind our combat vehicles and that's how we would do the safety in a combat environment. This is actually getting us to that progression in case we are called up to serve and


It's the Memorial Day long weekend here in the U.S. while the U.S. dollar struggles to recover from the hits it took last week thanks to weak U.S. economic updates, continued expectations of unlimited support from the Fed, and rising tensions between the U.S. and China. Meanwhile, the Aussie dollar had mostly a good week thanks to positive risk sentiment. Welcome to the Tick-Mill Update, I'm Canada Niel, the founder of the Investeva movement.

While most traders take a break on Monday in America, Germany will release its GDP and IFO business climate data. Today I'm looking at the Kiwi Yem pair. After New Zealand reported zero coronavirus cases, the Kiwi started to rise and it broke above the daily Ichimako cloud last Wednesday. It then saw a temporary pullback, which is common move after a break above the Ichimako cloud. On Monday during the early Asian hours, the pair started to bounce off the upper band of the cloud at 65.44. If the bullish sentiment continues, we could see further gains towards the 50% of national investment level of 67 in the medium term. Do you think the Kiwi Yem pair will go back to consolidation or do you think this new bullish sentiment is here to stay? Get over to the comment section and let me know. Of course, there are new financial markets involving the risk of loss and it should only trade the money that you can afford to lose.
