Probably, it's you. Welcome, it's good to see you again. We are here in the heart of Brineston once again and this is Devonshire Road, one of the most exclusive roads in a very very exclusive area. A stone throw away from the four-way CBD, a nice up-and-coming CBD, as well as Santa CBD so you know you're not going to be sitting in traffic for too long but this home has something special about it. It is bringing in the bush felt to Brineston. So follow me in because I think it is time for me to show you this house. So as we walk in to this property the first thing you see is this double wide entrance hall with this beautiful bamboo flooring. Now this house is 860 meters squared. Inside was 2,622 meters squared of ground space. There is tons and tons of space here and as you can see the walk into this beautiful home, this home has been made to bring that game lodge vibe into Brineston and into this urban area. As you can see on my right is this beautiful river stone feature wall and if we carry on just on my right of the year there is a mahogany fireplace that brings so much warmth into this house. Again, double vaulted ceilings with this thatch. It smells like I'm in the Kruger. Now this house is retailing for just about 7 million rent and we're gonna talk more about how you can purchase this house very very shortly. Follow me and let me show you as this is the first lounge feet. Let me show you the second one. So as you walk off this sitting room as soon as you come into the house you've come now to a smaller although nothing in this house is small by any standards but a smaller and more personal sitting room. This could be a cigar room, this could be your TV room, this could be really anything you want of it and the first thing you've noticed are these floor to halfway ceiling curved windows behind me and it's another architectural design throughout the house where they do these curved windows. It gives you such a nice 180 degree view of your ground and in this case that beautiful beautiful blue pool. But another thing that this lounge does is this lounge opens up into the first of the two dining areas. A little bit of a more formal dining area and what you'll do is you'll come right up these stairs and you are leading into it immediately and it is placed just off the two sitting rooms and as you can see it's perfectly sized to seat six people. Again it's got some beautiful windows in here leading in a lot of natural light with this high ceiling and this chandelier that really does encapsulate that bush felt vibe again in the heart of Brineston. It really is a place of relaxation more than something that you'd come in and feel like you're in a home. It does feel like you're in a holiday here but follow me let me take you to the kitchen. And as we come around the corner we immediately be led in to the kitchen slash dining room nook area.  This kitchen as you can see has got sandstone granite toppings as well as a four burner gas stove with two electric gas hobbs and the immediately what you'll see is just how open and free flowing this is where you can sit here and prepare a meal for your family and still be able to talk to everybody sitting in the dining area. But another very very cool feature of this kitchen is just how much storage space it has. So on my right you can see just how big the area for your fridges are your double door fridges will fit there very very easily. And as we come in here ample ample ample storage space. But another key feature of this kitchen is our double oven here D5. And as you can see the Gemini Gourmet range. So for all of you budding chefs out there this kitchen is already catering for you. Now as we move forward you'll see that this hallway over here leads off to a scullery that is where you'll be putting all your appliances your dishwashers your tumble dryers your washing machines and they are out of the way. You will see ample kitchen space and kitchen cupboard space on your right hand side as well as on your left hand side as well as a lot of space for your different appliances your dishwashers your washing machines your tumble dryers they can all fit here and fit away from prying eyes. Another really cool feature about the scullery is your double kitchen sink. So all your dishes after a hearty meal you can throw into the scullery put them away and they're out of sight until you can deal with them a little bit later. But we've got a lot more to show you. So let's go along. Off the left of the hallway you'll find yourself in the study. The study has floor to ceiling windows letting in a lot of light and air which is exactly what you need during your early mornings and late nights working. The study incorporates the same beautiful thatch letting in that aroma as the rest of the house does. It also has bookshelves on both sides of it which you can take mighty good use of if you bring it in your novels. And here we are at the end of the hallway but we are far from showing you everything that this house has to offer and right now I'm going to be taking you into the master bedroom. So let's go take a look. And here we are within the master suite and this suite has so many things that really do scream presidential. And one of the first is those floor to ceiling windows 180 degree views of the grounds. It really is such a presidential feel standing here and looking at it. It makes me think of the White House. Another really cool feature of this master suite is the backing. Take a look at that wallpaper. They've really done a cool job of bringing in even though the bed is recessed bringing in that wall ample space for a king size bed here. You can see inside the recess. I just want to lie back and kick it off for the rest of the day. But that is not all within this master suite. And we're going to be showing you the unsweet Boston and just what they have to offer as well. Let's go and leaving the master suite. We have come in to the unsweet bathroom to my left. You will see the double vanities that should stop a lot of fighting in the morning. And on my right you'll see a very luxurious jacuzzi bath as well as a double spaced shower. And if you look very closely in that shower is beautiful windows right in front of you so that you've got the view of this outside private garden. And if you follow me outside you'll see with these super high walls it offers you a lot of privacy. This is a little oasis a bubble away from the outside area but it's not the only thing you can do here. And if I whip off this jacket I can very much go and enjoy this outdoor shower. Now we're going to take a look at what the upstairs has to offer but I'm going to need you for that. Come on let's go. As you arrive at the top of the landing you'll be greeted by two different bedrooms one on the left and one on the right. The left side bedroom is a guest room and the right side is a feature bedroom. So let's take a look at our right hand bedroom. Throughout the tour I've spoken how this house brings so much of that lodge like living to Brineston and nothing encapsulates that more than this bedroom. It brings in a feel like you are at a safari with the way that they've incorporated the bed and the bathroom behind it. And as you can see just to my left again that 180 degree views of the outside as well as the balcony. Let's go take a look at that. Now our left hand side room has you covered with windows and lighting as well as a full bathroom area to your right hand side. So if you come with me on this side here you'll see the bathroom area leads all the way across the guest bedroom into a shower a full bath as well as a vanity suite there.  It is so peaceful here it cannot be understated. Another really cool feature about this room is that window looks onto the garden the grounds here are huge and it's something that all of the architecture within this place takes advantage of and I love that design feature. Checkmate and let me tell you what else you need to check in this entertainment area. The first on my right is a built in jacuzzi which I'm sure must be tons of fun whenever you're hosting a bribe whenever you're having friends over because this area here is an entertainer's dream. We've got a full-on seating area let me just move that baby out the way full-on seating area here for your friends. We have got a lounge suite there where you want to have a little bit of a party which after COVID I'm sure every single person wants to do after lockdown another thing a lot of people are going to want to do is take advantage of this built-in bar that is right there behind us another thing is just behind me you'll see that there is seating that is built in recessed off the wall underneath the windows that you can take advantage of and enjoy while relaxing out here and enjoying the incredible South African sunsets. This area also provides spectacular views of the grounds in front of us as well as the pool area and I'm very very keen to show you more of that right now. The house is surrounded by expansive grounds following this pathway leads you to an idyllic swing smartly placed away from the main house as you move up the hill you see the feature post of the house holding up the second story balcony moving off to the left we have another shaded sitting area the perfect place to enjoy a Sunday cup of tea this is also where the main rooms outdoor showers located. Some other features of the house to consider is the massive double garage easily tall enough and wide enough to fit two cars or various size length and height. Also something to definitely keep in mind is the security measures the owners have taken. There's 10 strand electric fence surrounding the property as well as an intercom system and a camera system. Another thing I'd definitely like to mention is the beautiful water features that you find throughout the house specifically as soon as you walk into it the water feature almost overwhelms the senses again bringing in such a nice holiday out in the bushbelt vibe throughout the house. So from myself, Cered Veveros and the whole team at Private Property we hope that you find your dream home. Thank you and goodbye. Welcome to a six bedroom, six bathroom, 1,000 square meter mega mansion in Bryanston. This is number 42A St. Ordley. My name is Cered Veveros and I'll be taking you all over this country showing you the most exclusive property South Africa has to offer and today it's all about living presidential. A perfect marriage of high ceilings and glass, the driveway and motorcade leads you to the front door and a palatial entrance hall. Through the entrance hall we pass two seating areas on the left and right as well as a cozy reception area and come to a centerpiece broad-iron staircase leading up to the second level. One out of the five seating areas greets us directly off of the staircase with beautiful views of the grounds surrounding the house can be enjoyed from the second-story balcony. The first bedroom we're going to be looking at is located on the top floor sharing those green views off of not one but two personal balconies with an ensuite bathroom that houses both a toilet and a shower fit for a king. With three incorporated shower heads this bathroom is sure to please. Here we have the second bathroom also with its own personal balcony. The third upstairs bedroom is perfectly situated to take advantage of the light even during a rainy day like this and offers stunning views of the Santon skyline off of its rear balcony. Another on-suite bathroom complements the package. The fourth bedroom, this one also with an ensuite bathroom, houses a standalone bathtub. This room is one of my favorites as on a clear day the views from its massive balcony are absolutely stunning. Welcome to the master suite. These rooms as I'm sure you've noticed are exceptionally large fit for a house of this stature.   This is the epitome of our opulence. The master bathroom also has a double vanity as well as a freestanding bathtub for those relaxing soaks on a rainy day like this one. Heading downstairs we're introduced to a chef's dream. A closed-off kitchen with ample cupboards, windows are plenty and countertop space to cater to even the most demanding of Sunday dinners. This kitchen also has a built-in bean to cup coffee machine as well as in a microwave oven with a state-of-the-art six burner gas stove and electric oven. Off the side of the kitchen you have a scullery nook that allows you to place appliances and dishes out of the way keeping the main kitchen clean and tidy. Outside of the kitchen we have a large dining room and lounge area with floor-to-ceiling windows and stackable glass doors. This is an incredible area allowing you to feel like you're dining outside regardless of the weather. Off of the main entrance hall is a guest bathroom as well as some office space. Taking the main entrance hall stairs down leads you to the ground floor area. Currently undergoing renovations this area would make for a perfect cigar lounge with a soon-to-be wine cell and neighboring it to the left and soon to be home theater system coming in on the third room. At the far end of the ground floor area you'll find the laundry room. Coming back upstairs we explore the two sitting rooms adjacent to the entrance hall both offering views of the garden area through the floor-to-ceiling windows as well as the guest bedroom located above the sixth car garage. We have a second TV room located between the entrance hall and dining room area and leading straight on to the outside veranda. This 1500 square meter brineston mansion has a large garden with a pool and covered patio removed from the main house that would make for the perfect area to sit and relax enjoying the views of the house that you've worked very hard for as well as possibly enjoying a tasty meal from the brine. This house is surrounded by a 10-strand electric fence and also houses a guard house built into the wall with a window overlooking your outside driveway. That driveway is guarded by a 10 foot tall iron gate and an intercom system that connects directly to your cell phone. And there you have it folks mega mansion living in the heart of Brineston. This was very, very fun for me and I cannot wait to see you all next time where we show you more luxurious properties but right now I've got a plane to catch. Goodbye. Welcome to The Home Shopper Show. My name is Chad Rivera and I'll be taking you all around SA showing you some of the most luxurious properties South Africa has to offer and today we are in Pretoria East soon to be South Africa's richest square mile situated right now in mainland Maine and right over there on the 15th floor we have a two bedroom two bathroom apartment going for 5.7 million that I cannot wait to show you. So come with me. Welcome to the 15th floor the coolest and most impressive view you're going to see anywhere in mainland Maine. This balcony is one of the two within this apartment and it has space for both a gas bri as well as some storage space behind me where you can even fit an air con. However let's take you to the crowning glory of the apartment and that is the master bedroom. Come with me. And here we are within the master bedroom. Now the master bedroom has got a lot of space but also a lot of attention to detail has been paid throughout the room. The first thing that I really like are these cupboards. They've turned a wall that would generally just be a wall of cupboards into a feature wall. These cupboards sliding on hinges both top to bottom with a safe in one of them and these attention to details I feel really does turn an apartment that just might be average into a beautifully crafted apartment. There's also as I mentioned a lot of space here and a lot of space in bedrooms becomes very important when you start looking at what types of beds you want to put in them. This here is a queen bed and there would be no problem fitting in a king with extra length. However my favorite feature within this bedroom is the bathroom behind me which I'm sure you can already see so let's go and explore that. A great deal of thought has been placed within the conservation of space within this apartment. There's a glass wall dominating the shower separating it from the rest of the bathroom and allowing you to enjoy those 180 degree views of Pretoria which is incredible because Pretoria one of the few cities that still has remained as green as it is and as you can see behind me those yields rolling in the background must make for incredible showers as well as baths as you can see on the right hand side of me there's a floating bath tub hunscrow taps within all of the apartment and this nice floating basin with a very very big mirror and floating toilets really does lend an air of sophistication towards an otherwise ordinary apartment. Coming out of a master bedroom you'll find yourself in the kitchen. This kitchen is dominated by marble countertops throughout but also has three very very thoughtful features that I absolutely love. The first of those features is the cupboard that houses your washer dryer. The second is the cupboard that houses your microwave. My third favorite feature of this kitchen is the hunscrow tap that has an inbuilt shower head. How easy would it be to clean up your dishes with this? Both of the sinks are melee as well as both of the appliances behind me and the oven over here. Moving forward we've also got a melee stove top which is touch sensitive so it's very very easy to keep clean not needing to go through the knobs. The tiles throughout this unique apartment also act as a feature splashback behind the stove. The apartment also has space for a double door fridge. Over here at the end of the kitchen we've got an inbuilt wood top breakfast nook. You can have breakfast here while enjoying the incredible views outside and another very very cool feature and very thoughtful from the developers is this over here. You've got these cupboards here that I'm sure many of you would think can just be storage space but not within this apartment. We've got a coffee nook that's built in over here. Plaint your storage space at the bottom with everything a caffeine lover needs. Let's close this up we're not in use and look at the uninterrupted facade. Moving into the living room area a very very cool point of this is everything you see here today everything you see in this video is all included with this apartment. Other than unfortunately the paintings but this living room area is essentially a place for you to enjoy the 180 degree views you get from this balcony or Pretoria the light and the air. Another very very cool feature within both of the bedrooms and this living room are right at the top of the sliding doors there are hatch windows that you can open up and letting a little bit more fresh air. But that is not all that you get with this apartment so let's go take a look at the second bedroom and bathroom. Here we are within the second bedroom and ensuite bathroom and you'll see this theme of space conservation continues it's so easy within apartments of this size to feel small and that is never the case here within this bathroom there's a floor to ceiling glass enclosed shower as well as floating toilet and a massive double volume vanity. Moving in to the bedroom again plenty of light plenty of air it's shared across the apartment and it really is so easy to enjoy it here but there's no better place to enjoy it than your own personal balcony. You can sit on that balcony having your morning coffees using that coffee and look and getting the most out of it. This bedroom has also got plenty of space for a king-size bed and also has those featured sliding cupboards. Thank you very much for joining us viewing this stunning two bedroom two bathroom 5.7 million rent property on the 15th floor in the heart of mainland Maine and we'll see you next time on the home shopper's show proudly brought to you by Private Property


After cooking school, I worked at a three Michelin star place in York. It's called John George. I first started, it was a real wake up lesson that I thought I could cook, but you couldn't. I think after the first or second month, I got tired of yelling at. So I said, as soon as I walked out the door, I started writing down all the things I could do to get faster, better, how to get ahead, because you always didn't have enough time. Did everybody do that, or was that just something you did? I didn't worry about everybody else. Wow. If you really want to see what the best is, what it's like to have three Michelin stars, then you go work for one and just see what it takes to be part of something that can attain those three stars is pretty amazing.


Okay, welcome traders to the first of the Live Nautical Sessions in 2021 with me, Patrick Mellon. I hope you all have an enjoyable and relaxing holiday season back ready to tackle the markets for another year. And before we get going, can I just do a quick audio check if you can hear me loud and clear and you can see the tick mill welcome screen. If you just type a Y in the chat box, that would be helpful. And then we shall get going. Good stuff. Okay, so obviously before we start with today's chart analysis, as always, we want to adhere to the risk disclaimer. Specifically for today's discussion, any of the views represented by me here today are solely mine and they're not indictive of or representative of Tick Mill UK or Tick Mill Europe limited. So with the risk disclaimer out of the way, quickly some housekeeping, if you do have any questions regarding any of the charts we discussed today or any of the setups, or if you have a chart you'd like me to take a look at, if you could wait till the end of, to the end of the presentation, and then I'll open up the Q&A for anyone who has any questions. So for those that are here for the first time, let me just briefly introduce myself. I'd like to say my name is Patrick Moneley. After I graduated from university, I joined a city PLC consulting firm. And after a couple of years learning ropes, I left with some colleagues and went on to co-found and successfully exit a consulting startup post and merger in late 2004. I then moved on to explore my passion for markets with some capital to play with, and some time on my hands, I started day trading or more appropriately day gambling the S&P 500. After some early beginners luck, I racked up some pretty solid gains. However, as is often the case, the beginners luck run out and as the market phase changed, I basically began to average down into what were essentially losing positions. I managed to give back all the gains I'd made and ultimately experienced a significant six figure hit my personal capital. To say this was a gut wrenching and sobering experience is a huge understatement. And it was at this point, I really had to stand back and figure out if it was really feasible for me to make money or living from the market. So I decided to get serious about trading and I sought out a mentor with an excellent trading track record, working with my mentor for 18 months, two years, it was a period during which I ups, not just my technical game in terms of researching and developing a strategy that suited my personality extensively back and forward testing and developing a rigorous risk management approach to underpin that strategy. But more importantly, during this period of mentorship, I significantly developed my mental game and probably the most important watershed shift I made was moving from being a highly goal orientated individual focused on financial gains to being purely process orientated. So what does that mean? Well, actually what it means is I had to stop focusing on what I could make from the markets and start focusing solely on managing my mindset to allow me to consistently execute my trading strategy, oftentimes in the face of negative feedback from the markets in the form of losing trades. Once you become process orientated and have a professional trading mindset and you understand the true nature of trading being a numbers game in which you're simply playing the probabilities, you really lose that emotional investment and hellish roller coaster of living and dying by the outcome of individual trades. So I'm no longer concerned with the outcome of individual trades or a string of trades. My focus is on the next hundred trades because I know that if I focus on excellence and execution, my edge will demonstrate itself over an extended series of outcomes. My multi-strategy approach has delivered profitable annual returns since 2008. Since 2013, the performance figures you can see on the screen at the moment are, I've actually been managing external investor capital through a managed account service, again, delivering annual positive returns. I'm currently responsible for managing multi-million dollar portfolio. Since 2010, I've also personally mentored over a hundred private traders of all experience levels from complete novices to former CME floor traders in developing the technical and mental skills to reach consistent returns from the markets. I've also consulted to numerous brokers and trading education brands, contributing written content, webinars and live presentation content on a range of topics, market analysis to trading strategy developments and execution. In addition to my fund management and private mentoring, I'm also exclusively a resident market expert for TITMIL, providing daily market analysis. This is an example here. You can access these posts via the TITMIL blog. In the daily market outlook, I provide an overview of the current market conditions. I also specify specific technical levels that I'm watching. I also reference flows in the markets from various institutional trading desks. That gives you a daily perspective as the London session opens of where the market is and what the potential is for the session ahead. I also provide a daily chart of the day or technical setup that I'm watching. Again, I give some fundamental background to that thesis and I also talk about the specific technical setup that I'm watching and the criteria I'm looking for to engage the markets. I guess my other passion project is really as head of trading and trader education for a leading trading education brand called FXcareerswap.com. We offer development and funding to retail trading talent at FXcareerswap. We don't just develop retail traders market and trading strategy knowledge. We work on mindset development through a structure program that culminates in managing the firm's capital at zero personal financial risk on a profit share basis. For those that are interested, this is the website here at FXcareerswap.com. You can book a call with Joseph Mosley, who's the head of onboarding traders there. We've just recently also become CPD certified as well. You can find out more information about what it is we do at FXcareerswap and what we offer via the website. Like I say, if you are specifically interested in that, then you can book a call with Joseph through the website. So that gives you a flavor of where I'm coming from. Now what I want to do is talk about today. Before I do jump in today, one of the, as I mentioned before, I post the chart of the day for TickMill. Today's chart of the day was for the Australian dollar. What I would also note is information that I share with the traders on the FXcareerswap trading floor. And specifically today's chart of the day, like I say, was the Australian dollar. I give the technical, sorry, the fundamental background to where we are with the Australian dollar, and then talk about the specific technical setup. And additional to that and some background information today, which is pretty useful, is in terms of FX options flows. And one of the major flows I noted with the guys on the team this morning is there's been a pretty big put buyer in the Australian dollar, 400 million traded. And what that basically gives the buyer of this strategy is protection. Should the Australian dollar trade down below 75 cents, currently trading above 77 in the Australian dollar. So that would be two figures lower in the Australian dollar. This trader, or sorry, this position would get protection, should we trade below 75. Noteworthy is we have the RBA on the 2nd of February. And it's possible that they, the RBA, looking at the current strength of the Australian dollar may sort of talk that down. And so this bet or this position is essentially looking for protection against that potential move. So when I'd see these option flows come through, I highlight these to the guys on the team, because this is useful off the chart information, so to speak, that general retail traders wouldn't necessarily have access to, but helps to understand the sentiment of the market and the positioning in the market. So that was just a quick highlight in terms of the Australian dollar today that I noted for the guys. So what do I want to do today? Well, as we start the new year, what I thought we would do, I've had a bunch of questions come in regarding the market mapping that I do in terms of looking at the structure of the market. And what I thought I would do today with some of these major markets is show you how I work from a weekly timescale bringing it down through the daily and then onto the four hour charts, looking at using the structure of the market to identify potential trading opportunities, or certainly areas of interest that I would potentially be looking to engage the market. So like I said, I'm going to run you through, I think we'll have time to do the dollar index, the euro, sterling, the yen and the Aussie, and then I'll open it up to 20 questions. So like I said, we're going to start with a weekly chart here. And as we, as most traders will be aware, the US dollar has been in a decline. And what I'm looking for, ostensibly, when I look at this type of pattern in the market, is I'm looking for a five wave pattern to complete to suggest that we could then see either a broader correction or a new trend developing the market. So in terms of this current structure with the weekly chart, I have an equality objective. So we have a potential A, B, C targets. So this meaning that wave C is equal to wave A, which would have us down at 87.42 in the dollar index. Now, when I look at wave B, what I did want to see is that wave subdivide into a five wave pattern. And I've got some markers in place here. I think we could be potentially coming into a third wave low here at these prior highs and the prior low, which is structural support. We also have a couple of 50% retracement levels here, coinciding around this 88, 88 area target. Again, that I'm looking for initially is this 87.42. So what I'm thinking at the moment with respect to the dollar index and as we come into the new year and historically from a seasonal perspective, January tends to be a slightly stronger period for the dollar index. So I'm looking for a pause in this downtrend and potential correction. So this is on the weekly timeframe. So then what I want to do is get out of the daily chart and have a look at the daily structure. And again, just digging down into looking at the current swing that we're into the downside. Is it possible or am I able to define a potential five wave structure? So if I'm working on a thesis that we're potentially making a way through low here. Now, what helps me qualify that idea that we're seeing this potential way through low in place? Well, as those that work with me will know that the only rationale really that or the only supporting rationale for taking any countertrend trades is I want to see significant momentum divergence. I means that price is making new lows, but momentum studies aren't and they're suggesting that the current trend is losing some strength and we can likely see a corrective phase develop. So in terms of the week, the daily chart here, you can see we've got a nicely clearly defined trend channel that we're working in. We're stalling out. These orange lines here are weekly predicted range supports and resistance. So we're currently sitting at weekly range support projected weekly range support. We've traded back up here on the daily timeframe. We've come into the weekly pivot and got a pretty nice bullish reversal pattern developing here. But we're going to need to see this take out weekly range, sorry, the weekly pivot first and then the weekly range resistance to encourage the idea that we could see a fourth wave develop. So now if we take this into the four hour chart, we can see we can get a little bit more granular now and start to think about what criteria we'll be looking for to suggest that we can see this fourth wave develop. Well, like I said, the moment currently we've got into the overbought area in terms of the momentum studies here and prices stalled out currently at this weekly pivot. So to my mind, if we hold here and we can't make new highs today, then I can see the potential for us to trade back down into the support zone here at this 89.50 and potentially put in an inverse head and shoulder scenario. So let's draw that in now as well. So this will be our left shoulder and this will be our head. And then we'll be looking for a right shoulder to develop into either tomorrow or Monday. As we know, Fridays and Mondays are typically high probability times for markets to put in points of reversal or correction at least. And so if we can hold this 89.50, we're going to pull that, we consolidate, we've obviously got payrolls coming out tomorrow, which can be a catalyst for a move. If we hold here, if we can hold 89.50, get some consolidation overnight, and that could set up the potential for this corrective move in the dollar index. Note, I'm talking about corrections here, I'm not trading, I'm not looking to pick tops or bottoms here, I'm looking at the logical progression of the price action and where the opportunities are. And if we scroll out here, you can see that I've mapped, we've got a 1, 2, this will be our 3, 4. And in terms of the scope and scale of this 3, 4, I'm really just interested in tracking the scope and scale initially of the prior wave. So I'm using this 91 versus this 89.20 low as a realistic expectation for what we can anticipate in terms of potential wave 4, we also have some prior highs here. Now I use this in two ways because initially, this is certainly if we get up into this area and we have a three wave pattern, watching for bearish reversal patterns there because it's an opportunity to join the trend and play for a new low in terms of price. But equally, if we don't get a reversal pattern here or if we don't find supply coming into the market in and around these levels, then that also gives us information because what that can then tell us is that we could be in for a bigger corrective phase in terms of the dollar index. So these markers in terms of price are really useful in terms of two sets of information. One, they're either going to give you an opportunity to join the trend or two, if price exceeds this prior swing, then we've got to think in terms of a larger scope, in terms of the corrective phase. And what do I do then in terms of logically moving this forward and using the same application? Well, I look to the next biggest swing and then that will give me the new target in terms of the corrective phase, which at this instance is the last three wave move we had on a major scale or on the higher frequency will take us up into this 9215 and these prior lows. But again, it's all step by step. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves and the initial target versus this current swing low and this wave structure that we're currently in will be this 91 area. Can you follow the rationale there? Why in the chat box if this is making sense in terms of how you can start with the weekly chart and actually zoom in and from the information you're getting on the weekly chart, end up on an intraday timeframe, a four-hour timeframe with some specific areas of interest and potential trading opportunities. Okay, so that's the dollar index. Let's look at the euro and let's start with the weekly. So, some interesting things on the weekly chart with the euro dollar. If we look at, if we look back, this is like I said, we're on the weekly timeframe here. If we look back at some prior corrective phases in terms of the euro dollar, if we go back to the last big advance that we saw in the euro dollar, which was from the 2012 low into that 2014 high, we can see that we have this initial move off the low, which when we look at the 2016 low, we also have a similar scale in terms of move, in terms of move, in terms of time as well from the low into the high. Again, this isn't exact one of weekly chart here. It's going to be very difficult to pinpoint down to the hours and minutes, but you can get a broad sense of what the scope and scale of the move is. And if we overlay these prior swings versus our current swing low, then we get this current high or this resistance area that we've come into here around this 124 gives us some information that we may see a pullback here. Again, I'm not talking in terms of definitive or major tops or major lows. I'm just talking about pullbacks because at the moment, to all intents and purposes, sorry, this advance looks pretty constructive. And so I perceive that we can see higher prices in terms of the euro, but come a long way in a period of time, which during prior market phases has been a point at which the market has pulled back and we've corrected. So this is on the weekly timeframe. What do I ultimately anticipate with the euro? Well, I'm looking over the early part of this year for us to test into the 128 area in terms of the euro dial. I think we could go higher ultimately, but 128 is the objective I'm currently focused on. And so now I want to think about how we can get to this 128 from where we currently are, where we could be seeing a bit of a bit of price exhaustion in the near term. So if we drop down to the daily timeframe, again, we've got what we've done here is mapped out. Let's move some of these around. So here's the daily timeframe. And again, what I'm immediately looking to do is identify potential five wave pattern here. We've traded into what could be an equality objective here. And how I measure these quality objectives is, well, what I'm looking at is wave one versus the potential wave four low, giving us a price target and a quality objective, where price may stall out based upon this wave theory. And we've come just shy of there, but what we have tested importantly is this weekly predicted range resistance. And we've got two little tales suggesting there's some supply in the market there. We certainly haven't been able to get a close above 12350 at this stage. And we're seeing a reversal attempt here. Obviously, to get excited about this, we'd want to see a daily close back through the 122.30 area, which is the weekly pivot, similar obviously with the dollar index. But if we can get through there, then I think we can see a three-way correction back into this 120 area before we advance for a potential wave five to finish this cycle and then see a more sustained correction. So if we drill down onto the four-hour chart now, and you can see in more detail how I'm looking at this, we've got this channel, this channel that we've been trading in. You can see again, I've identified a potential five-way pattern here. And so we're either, this is either going to be the wave five high here, and we're going to see the pullback from current levels. Or if we still, if we continue to hold this ascending trend line support here, then what I would suggest is that's going to be waveform. We'll see one more push here into a new high into that 123.70 area, which is that ideal objective with respect to the pattern. And so again, from there, I'd be watching for bearish reversal patterns. You can see we've got plenty of momentum divergence in play here. So we'll see how this plays out. I've actually got a short position all at the moment in the euro. See if this is the wave five high. And again, so this is the thing about these market maps. This is a good skill to have in terms of developing your ability to read the market and get in sync with the market. But at the same time, that's just one aspect of, well, that isn't really an aspect of trading. That's an aspect of market analysis. Trading is about identifying risk reward, obviously, and then being prepared to put it on a position and find out whether or not the trade is actually going to work versus a very specific setup. So what's very important is not to confuse the two. Market analysis is independent and separate of actually trading, putting on a position and managing position and managing the risk reward. Risk reward being the most important part of the trading process. But for now, we'll see if we can take out this trend channel support, then we could have the wave five high for this swing at least in place. Like I say, I view any move lower here as corrective. And what I'm actually looking for in the near term is that we see a test up into that 128 area. So any move back into 120 to my mind, I'll be watching for bullish reversal patterns to set long positions to align with that broader trend. So that's the euro dollar. Let's check in with cable here. We'll move out to the weekly chart to start with and zoom out a bit. Similar to the euro I've identified, as you can see here, some of the last major swings off some major lows in terms of cable would give us a move really up into this 138 area in terms of cable. We've come just shy at the moment. We're just sitting on an internal trend line here at the 137 area, which may prove a point from which we correct. Ideally, I'd like to see us test this 138 before we see a pullback in terms of cable. Versus, like I've discussed in the sessions towards the end of last year, as we hold 126 of support, my actual price target for sterling this year is going to be up into that 147.39. So again, I'm looking for pullbacks to align with a potentially broader trend and larger opportunity in terms of upside wood sterling. So anything in and around this 138, any pullbacks I'd be looking to identify areas then to align with the broader trend versus 126 targeting 147. So if we take this onto the daily chart now and you can see we're in a wedge here in the top side of the wedge. So pullbacks into now the wedge support coming in at this 133 would be interesting certainly to do something on the long side, looking for that 138 test as discussed. And again, we can take this down onto the four hour chart and get a little bit more granular here. So we're sitting at some support here in cable. So if we can hold this current trend line, then there's the opportunity to trade up into that 138. Now from that 138, again, looking up for divergence in terms of momentum studies, watch for reversal patterns of the 138 to set up a test of the trend line back down to 133. Before again, I think we can take off meaningfully to the upside in terms of sterling. Dalyen, let's take this out, complete to the weekly charts. Dalyen is quite an interesting setup here, broader perspective in terms of the Dalyen. From that 2012 low, we had a clear defined five wave advance. Well, I think where we are now is we're in a bigger correction of AB equals C objective. So I'm looking ultimately for a move down to 91, 85 in terms of the Dalyen. And what we want to be thinking about in terms of the wave structure is where we are if we go on to the Daly chart now. You can see we've got a pretty nicely defined trend channel here. Potential wave three low in place. So what I'll be looking for now is a wave four to complete in three waves into this 104 trend channel resistance before we get the next leg lower, which I think will ultimately see us test into these prylos at the 101 handle. So now thinking in terms of where we can get into an opportunity of the Dalyen, let's go to the four hour chart. So at the moment I see two opportunities in the Dalyen. I see one being an opportunity to do something on the long side. And what I'll be looking for is price to stall out in and around current levels 103.80 and get a pullback into this 102.90, which again to my mind will give us a potential inverse hand shoulder scenario, which would then set up the third leg to push into this 104.29. So any pullback into this 102.90 area, watching for bullish reversal patterns on the four hour time frame here to do something on the long side, looking for that trend channel test and potential completion of the wave four, then we set up that wave five down into the 101 area. So that's what I'm watching in terms of Dalyen. And last but not least, let's check in with the Aussie. Let's go to the weekly chart. So a similar thesis really to the sterling and the euro, you can see we have this initial move of the 08 lows in terms of the Aussie. And we've just marginally exceeded it in terms of scope and scale at the moment, but we are finding a little bit of resistance here. Ultimately, I'm looking for a test of this 80 handle and this major descending trend line resistance. From there, I think we could see a pullback, but ultimately the target versus the 70 handle low is a quality objective up at 89.25. So again, what I'm thinking in terms of the markets in terms of two-way trade, we've had this initial burst of the lows here. I think we could be in for a correction to develop something like we saw over here in and around here before we extend higher later in the year in terms of the Australian dollar. So if we then bring this down into the daily chart, and we can look a bit more specifically where the opportunities are, so like I said, you can see this clearly defined wedge that we're in at the moment whilst we hold this trend line support, and I believe all roads lead to this, certainly to the 80 and then on towards 82 in terms of the Australian dollar. And in terms of two-way trading and opportunities on both sides of the market, but at the moment, I've actually got a short position on in the Australian dollar because the potential that this is a wave five higher here, we've traded into daily and weekly predicted range resistance at that 78-20 area, so a pretty nice pullback, hasn't really extended at this stage. And if we hold the current lows, then I can still see scope for us to test this trend line up to the 78-50s. But again, pay attention to the divergence in terms of the momentum study because what I've been watching for is bearish reversal patterns to set short positions. Ultimately, I'm looking then for a pullback into the 75 area, but again, from there, I'd certainly be watching for bullish reversal patterns long positions, looking for that 80 handle. You can see, hopefully this has been a good working example of how you can use these higher timeframes to actually develop your bigger thesis in the market and then overlaying the same wave theory or however you approach the markets. As long as you're consistent, you can see quite clearly how you can track down into these lower timeframes and actually identify two-way trading opportunities, both on the long and the short side of the market. So those are the charts that I want to discuss with you today. I hope you've found those useful. Does anyone have any questions or charts they'd like me to take a look at that I haven't covered? Zoom, Zoom, Sterling Yen. Let's take a look at Sterling Yen. So Sterling Yen, I guess if we think in terms of the Sterling Yen, what we're really thinking about in more ways than one really is the Sterling Dollar. And so what you'd be anticipating with the Sterling Yen is that we would see similar price moves in terms of the Sterling Dollar. So if we go quickly run out here to the weekly chart and what we've got here certainly versus this swing low at the 132, if we can break this descending trend line resistance coming in currently at 142, then I see we've got scope for a move up to 151. Now how do we get there in terms of the near term time frame as well? What we've got here in terms of the daily, let's go back. So we've got this trend channel support. What I would be looking for would be a breakup into this trend line resistance. So if we can get up through this resistance into these prior highs over here at 142 and this trend line resistance, then what I'd see from there would be a three-way pullback ideally, something like this, into this area here at the 138, could be a bit higher by that stage 139. But that's where the buying opportunity is I think, to see prices break out then, and then we can target the next resistance area up at 144. So and then from that 144, we can start thinking in terms of retesting the trend line from above and then we can start to build the case onwards for getting up into this 151 target area. Does that make sense? More of a sentiment question. How's the capital building right? It's going the way of the dollar. Also now the sentence majority. Yeah, so obviously I mean another bizarre start of the year with what we saw last night in terms of the U.S. There are much more broader questions in play, I think personally with respect to America and America exceptionalism, which I think is potentially on the wane here. But in terms of the dollar, I think probably that that gout of unrest that we saw last night and the potential for that to maybe roll over in and around the inauguration. I think we could see a couple of weeks here of dollar stability simply as a safe haven. Ultimately my view is, as you know, I'm structurally bearish the dollar. But I do think we're in the zone here in and around current levels where we could see a corrected phase. But that's all I see as a correction and then what I'm certainly looking for would be looking on the short side in terms of the dollar as we head out through the year. But in the near term, certainly we could see some dollar, near-term dollar strength. I'm reluctant to call it strength as such, but short covering and a corrected phase is really what I would refer to it as. Does that make sense, Charlie? Benjamin, a very basic question. Can you zoom back to the start point of weekly trend lines? In which pair then? Sterling N. Okay, yeah. So what you're looking for, I understand what your way of question is coming from now. The reason why I've got this trend line here is you can clearly find three points of test. So what we can see here is we have this trend line has now clearly been broken and we've retested it and held it. And so what we're looking at is where was the last point of trend resistance, which was here. And then we're tracking back to see, can we connect clearly without having to, let me just move that one, make it easy for you guys to see. So without having to use too much jiggery pokery to make the line fit, you can clearly see that from this point, we have this point and we have this point. So there are three points of connection there. So that's why I would suggest that this trend line will be in play. I ultimately think it gets broken, because as you know, to my mind, fourth tests of any trend line or support or resistance level tend to give way. So I'm really using, I'm only using this as a point where we may see a pullback. I don't think it's going to define a trend change as such. And so I think we can see an extension through that trend line. So that makes sense, Ben. Khalil, is your microphone working, Khalil? Hi, Khalil. How are you doing? Happy New Year. And to you too. I had a problem over New Year's. My computer crashed. Everything lost. All the backtesting are done. Gone. Oh, no. I know, totally devastated. Two months of work down the drain. Nothing. I've got nothing again. I'm starting from scratch. Oh, no. That's hard. So such is life. Is it possible to do... Have you done NZD, USD and UOJPY? You have, yeah? So the Kiwi, the Kiwi basically you can think about in terms of the Aussie. But I'll just show you what we're looking at here with Kiwi. So again, Kiwi, to my mind, what I've been thinking is what did we do back in 08? We've got up here like that. And if we clone that and bring it over here, you can see we're in and around the ballpark of that initial advance of the Lows in 08, which we stalled out and got a bit of a pullback. So what I'd be thinking in terms of the Kiwi here is a similar idea to that of the Aussie. So if I just get rid of that and then we go to the data chart. So what I want to be thinking about is can I identify a potential five-way pattern here which could complete, provide a pullback that will then allow me to join the broader trend. And so quite, at least to my eye anyway, we've got one, two, three, four, and here's potential five. And so if this is the five, what additional information do I want to confirm that? Well, I want to see some divergence in terms of the momentum studies, which we've clearly got down here. We've also got the RSI stochastic price making new high, RSI stochastic failing to make a new high, and rolling over, got a potential bearish reversal developing here. And so then what I want to be looking at is where could we see this thing pull back to? Well, to my mind, it would be pretty easy to see a move that would have us back into this 68 area. But then from there, again, then you want to be thinking about being on the long side. But certainly at the moment, given the setup in terms of momentum studies and what the price is telling us in the price pattern, certainly we're right at least for a corrective phase. And again, what you can use to help give you some markers here is that last correction would see us back down to this 70 area. So this A, B, C could be much sharper in terms of, we could see an A, B, and C finishing here at the 70 level. And again, what you're looking at there is the price going to confirm that for us. What we have got here is a very steep trend line. But look where that trend line comes in, right back at this equality level. So I mean, to my mind, all eyes really want to be on a correction that takes us into this area. So let me draw that in for you. So thinking in terms of this type of thing. And then are the buyers going to step back in? Because if they do, there are upside targets ahead of us. But if they don't, then what does that do? Well, it sets expectations for a broader pullback. And when we think in terms of that, we want to be looking at the cycle lows into the cycle highs. I don't think necessarily we need to look all the way back to 50%. First stop, more often than not, is going to be this 38.2. And a pullback into the 38.2% of the entire swing would have us back at 66%. And still the trend would be intact. The area of interest for me really on any pullback would really be these prior highs. I think that's where they could likely pick this up again. So a snapback that sees us retest is 68 a support and then sets us up for the next leg higher. Does that make sense, Cleo? Yes, yes. I think people are still buying the two dollars. So yeah, that does make sense. So any other questions? Okay, guys, if there aren't any other questions, I'm going to wrap this one up here. And thanks for joining in. Thanks for the questions. And we will reconvene at the same time next week. Thanks very much, guys. I hope this helps.


You know, you could try to just put a clamp on your mouth or try to put on a happy face but without that connection with spirit it would just be empty, it would just be another pretense and we don't want those pre tenses. So that's why we have this great opportunity here to really go deeply into this belief system called ego to go very deep and to expose it and to reach that state that is beyond the opinions. I find that in my journey and my life questions were very helpful, they were always encouraged and not so much questions about like the gossip of the world, who did what to what and what's the latest on this and what's the breaking news, not those kind of questions but questions about the mind, about consciousness, about perception, about beliefs, about the thought system those are all helpful questions because they tend to unravel the ego and the ego, if there's anything that should be questioned it is the ego the ego is not something to just assume as real and true and just kind of leave it alone you do have to question what you believe and to be free of it so to me those are very helpful questions I have seen teachers of the course over the years that will not even respond to questions of the world that will say that's not a real question, move on to the next one and in one sense we want to encourage the spirit of asking those real questions but again we're not putting any kind of limits of parameter so you can still feel free to ask any question whether it's about something in physicality or something in the mind, something about consciousness, just feel free and open to ask anything another thing about this is how far do you take this stuff? and you take it all the way anyone who isn't really interested in taking it all the way to enlightenment will soon tire of me because they usually don't hang around and they don't show up and that's fine too my lesson always was take it all the way and in taking it all the way you will see that nothing can be judged there aren't judgments about people who are taking it all the way or who aren't there aren't judgments about who's getting it and who's not getting it in the state of forgiveness everything is equally acceptable and there isn't this sense of timing delay and there isn't this sense of before, during and after it's a unification experience it's a state of mind where everything is completely unified and in that unification there's really nothing to question or nothing to confront and it's really been good over the years I've just watched a lot of things that have gone on in this world and a lot of things have gone on with the course and I never felt there was anything to confront in form there was never a person to confront also I remember reading in the teacher's manual that to an advanced teacher or god there is no challenge and I thought, well that's cool no challenge not that the experiences you go through don't seem challenging they certainly seem very challenging to the ego but it's that you really don't have to go challenge anybody you don't have to challenge anybody on their beliefs there's no one to convince that's the best part I find in traveling around this world and going to these 26 countries is I had an experience where I could feel the contentment and the peace and the joy of my heart and I knew that there was nobody to convince and you really have this feeling of being relieved or off the hook when you have this feeling that way you can talk to anybody you don't really care whether they profess to believe in something or not whether they profess to believe in God or not suddenly this old thing about whether somebody is a believer or a non-believer who cares, I mean who really cares if somebody is a believer or a non-believer when you're in the joy yourself everyone is in that experience with you you feel totally connected like in quantum physics you feel like you're part of the unified field you feel that everything and everyone is you literally, not figuratively or sentimentally but it's just all of you so in that sense there's nothing to challenge there's nothing to confront there's nothing to defend and I've just watched over the years even with the Course in Miracles as it seems to go through it's copyright things and copyright controversies and different things it's just been this soft, gentle watching knowing that there's nothing to fix or change that nobody's really wrong it's just the playing out of the script and it's a very peaceful sense of watching but there's no sense of fixing or changing anything and that's what I would like to talk with you about in the coming days because to me this experience I'm describing to you is most practical a lot of times people can say sometimes these things sound kind of high and mighty or they sound glorious but they don't seem very practical when it comes down to day to day decisions day to day decision making and what I want to talk with you about and really join together with you in is joining in the willingness to just let go of every belief every scrap in the mind where there seems to be the slightest bit of controversy or conflict or ill of these feelings just to suddenly get in touch with what those are and to be willing to let them go and to really see that there's no cost in releasing these feelings it's not really like something terrible is going to happen to you if you quit judging or if you quit discriminating if you quit trying to picket things it's not like something will be lost I find in my life that as I've gone on this journey deeper and deeper where I had anticipated a sacrifice of some kind it's just like getting up close to it and going that was nothing at all like a laugh I can't believe I was so afraid of looking at that I can't believe that I pushed that down for so long you know, you have the feeling like wow just let it all come up and I think too when I talk about trust it's not so much that you have to develop more trust because a lot of times people think I just need more faith and more trust but it's just that the power of our mind is enormous and when you have invested that power in a false belief system it's more that you have to unplug from it or divest from the ego instead of get more trust and that's just another ego trip when an ego is telling you you're not trusting enough you don't have enough faith that's just another kind of a push from the ego that you're not good enough and you need to be better and it's not so much that we have to be better at anything we just have to expose the ego and pull all of our faith and trust away from it and see that the spirit is worthy of our trust that our guidance that small still voice inside its guiding us is extremely worthy of our trust and if we follow it it brings states of unlimited happiness and freedom and more than anything that's what I want to convey to you I have really dedicated my life to living the experience of the course of enlightenment to actually living it

Hi you guys, my name is Brittany and welcome back to my YouTube channel.  This video you guys is in a collaboration with two of my really close friends Lauren from the practical homeschooler and Gina from Gina B Homeschool. We have came together to show you guys our kids routines. Now we all have different kids of different ages. I'm not too sure which daughter Lauren is going to show in her video and I believe Gina is going to show her son Nicholas who is in the second grade. She's going to show his routine. So you guys are going to be able to get a good glimpse of all of our kids homeschool routines and I'm really excited to be making this video with them today. So you guys I really hope you guys enjoy seeing what we do on a daily basis and just kind of seeing how different everyone's homeschool is. So Gina Lauren thank you for making this video with me. I'm so happy that we have partnered together once again. Okay you guys, Brie just finished her facts practice. She did really really good. She timed four minutes and 36 seconds and yeah. So today in Saxon she has her test. You're doing test number three. Are you ready Brie? You are. Okay so I have her test solution sheet right here where she's going to fill out her test. So I'm going to give Brie some space and I'm going to let her finish her test but good job on your facts practice Brie. Thank you. Okay Brie before you get started on your math test can you tell me how you're enjoying Nicole the math lady? I like it. The videos are really cool. You like the videos? Mm-hmm. Yeah doesn't Nicole the math lady teach better than mommy? Yeah a little bit. That's fine. That's fine. Okay go ahead Brie you can finish your test. Okay you guys Brielle she is finished with her math test and she is downstairs. Brie has been really helping me with breakfast. She's been really enjoying like being in the kitchen a lot more. We're downstairs. The girls are down here my little ones. There goes one right here Alana and then Leia she's right there. So it's a lot more chaotic now because my husband he is at work so we're going to get started with breakfast and then Bible. So yeah. Okay Brie what's for breakfast today? I've got sausages. You made us sausages and what else are we going to have? And some waffles. Okay so sorry for the noise you guys so we're going to have sausage. Brielle's going to make eggs and then she's also going to make some she's also going to make some waffles. So good breakfast. Good breakfast Brie. Just wanted to show you what we're going to be doing for a Bible. We're going to be going over the fruits of the spirit. We're going to be going over 1st Corinthians 13 verse 4 through 8 Psalms 23 the Lord's Prayer and we've also been memorizing the books of the Bible.  We're going to be going over the character of goodness. We're going to be reading from our African-American poetry book and then her devotion today is how that grows a courageous girl.

So we're on day three of week seven so she's going to go ahead and get started with that right now. Okay tell them what you're going to be doing. I'm going to be doing so the directions are so I'm going to be doing I'm basically going to find the word in the word bank and then I'm going to match it with the definition. Okay you're so you find the word in the word bank and matching it with the definition. Okay good job Brie.  Today is Wednesday so I have like speech therapy with Leia with my youngest daughter. She didn't do too well in this session. She was kind of like goofing off and playing but I mean we do speech therapy virtually so it's kind of crazy. So right now Brie she's over here. I don't know if you can see her but she's over here. We're having like snack time and break time in between spelling and then we will get into our rotten staff English. We have about like an hour before lunch time so she'll do that and then this afternoon we get an opportunity to kind of like have fun with like our black history month. The girls the younger ones they're over here too they're on their tablets you guys. I just wanted to show that to you guys. I do have to use technology in order for me to get a lot of things done. I normally don't pull out the tablets until it's like right before lunch time. I allow them to use them then and then they take their nap time and then I can kind of finish out their day. So if you have little ones and you do have to use technology or the TV don't feel bad. It is what it is. You just have to get these things done so they're going to finish up their snack and then we're going to finish off some English. Hey you guys I know this sounds really crazy but today just happened to be a test day for us. So Brielle right now she is about to do an English test. We actually just finished chapter five and our rotten staff building English Christian series. So here goes her test right here she's going to do and I'm just going to go back downstairs with the kids and I'm going to let her go ahead and finish her test and see how much she has retained from chapter five that we just went over. So you're excited Brie? You're going to do great. Yeah I'm going to get this for my diagram. Yes and Brie likes to use a ruler when she does her sentence diagram and she likes her diagrams to look really really neat. Okay you guys I just laid my um toddlers down to take a nap and they're in there being crazy. They're not quite asleep just yet but today since Brielle had to take so many tests I just decided to save it for the afternoon for me to grade them. So I need to grade her spelling her math and I need to also grade her English test that she just took and if it's anything that she missed we'll kind of like go over it and then we will head into like our black history. So I'm going to go ahead and grade it and hopefully by the time I grade it the two younger ones they will be asleep. So yeah Okay you guys I also made a second cup of coffee. I normally don't make coffee um in the afternoon I'll drink like a chai tea latte but I ran out so I made me another cup of coffee. I'm going to drink it so I can just kind of like have enough energy to get through our black history time because it's so special when me and Brie get an opportunity to have this time while the younger ones are asleep and do like our history. So uh let me go ahead and get to this.  Okay you guys Brie she missed a few on her spelling so she is using dictionary.com on my phone to figure out uh which words go right here and while she's doing that I just want to show you guys her test she told me it was okay for me to show you guys her test so this is the test number three that she did right here with Saxon. She did really really well with it here goes her test so she got an A. She missed one question on it and what I love about Saxon so much is that the question that she missed it has the lesson number right here that I was able to go back to the lesson number and explain to her why she got the question wrong and just to make sure she understood it and that's one thing I really love about Saxon math. Brie is doing Saxon 6.5 and right now we are going to be starting lesson number 21 so she's just trucking right along on this and she's doing really really well so um we have really been enjoying Saxon um she also had a facts practice that she did this morning like you guys seen and she did an awesome job on that as well. I really love these facts fluency sheets because I'm noticing she has been coming uh she's been getting really really fast when it comes to math just by doing these um drills so yeah so she did really really good on her test and we can keep on going forward with this. For riding staff again Brie did awesome on this test she actually got that was her other test she did. Where's the one for today yeah she's been doing really good on these tests but today she actually didn't miss any she did really really well diagramming her sentences and everything like that so she did an awesome job I have really been enjoying riding staff riding staff is a lot different from uh other English curriculums because it is a mastery approach where for each chapter we are only going over one element so we just completed chapter five which was using verbs correctly and then we're going to be heading into chapter six which is pronouns and even though she's only going to be going over pronouns just this one chapter they do have like a little review and practice where they will mix in other concepts that we did go over already and just um kind of like build them in the lesson as well so we only have what one two three four five we're stopping at chapter 10 at the end of the school year we're not going to do chapter 11 because she's really really good at capitalization and dictionary skills so we're going to end off on chapter 10 this school year we do a chapter in about two weeks so she's doing really really well with this so we're just taking our time with our um English series so here you guys we are about to start Black History today we are going to be talking about Dr. Wagnari Mathana and it's really cool because we actually read a really cool chapter book about her last year when we did our botany study so it's kind of cool we're going to read read about her again Brie wants to make a cover page for all of her like black history uh pictures that she has so when black history month is over she'll have like a way to store all of her uh coloring and behind it it will have my paragraph her bibliography it sure will so this right here is the template right here for her bibliography that she's going to write I don't know if we're going to write the bibliography today or not just because Brie has done a lot of tests today I kind of just want to just let her color and read and we can just take our time tomorrow and do our bibliography on Dr. Wagnari Mathana these are the books I'm going to read aloud to Brie while she's coloring I'm going to read Gone Crazy in Alabama we're going to read our ABCs of Black History I Affirm Me and then we're going to find all the information about Dr. Wagnari in this book right here Timelines for Black History but this right here is the page we're going to be reading today about Dr. Wagnari Mathana and um yeah I'm really excited about that okay and we're on letter L right here for I Affirm Me and the ABCs of Black History we have only been reading one to two letters a day so both of these books can last for the whole month um so Brie's been really enjoying reading a few letters L is for leader I am a role model for others I listen and learn I have the confidence to stand up for myself because what I say matters Brie so L is for love L is for love L is always for love okay Brie so Dr. Wagnari Mathana do you remember where she's from uh Kenya good job she's from Kenya Wagnari Mathana she was born in 1940 and she died in 2011 was founder of the Green Belt Movement which was an organization that has arranged the planting of more than 51 million trees in Kenya that is everything that we do in a day our homeschool routine I know it was kind of crazy because you really didn't get a chance to see me like teach Brielle a lesson she had a lot of tests today and it's so crazy I don't even know how that happened but um today we really uh was able to sit together and work on our Black History for Black History Month you guys Brielle has really been enjoying Black History you can see her board back here it's definitely getting full and uh we have definitely been enjoying learning about all of these great Black scientists inventors just people that have had a big impact in our world so I'm really really excited that we have carved out that extra special time in our homeschool to do that this month so you guys I really hope you enjoy seeing Brielle's routine nothing's really changed since the last day in life video we are definitely still in this in the thick of this toddlerhood phase where I am wrangling toddlers and trying to homeschool at the same time but we're definitely making it work I think the only few things that I didn't show you guys in today's video was Brielle doing her piano practice in the afternoon normally this time right now she is doing her um her story writing she does a little story writing she does like independent uh play where she will like play and do things like that I really don't allow her to do like technology or anything like that until after four o'clock but other than that she has free range to do anything else that she wants to so you guys I hope you enjoy seeing uh today's video our routine please don't forget to go ahead and check out Lauren's and Gina's homeschool routines with their kiddos and you guys I look forward to seeing everybody in my next video bye


President Bola Tinibu, Nigeria's chief marketer and his team are willing foreign investors to seize the investment opportunities in the country and bring their money to Nigeria. He is also called on Nigerians living abroad to come home and invest. However, Nigeria's weak fiscal monetary firm work are scaring foreign investors from coming to Nigeria. I want to take a look at what the barriers are and the factors affecting the effectiveness of Nigeria's monetary and fiscal policies as our first hot topic this morning on the breakfast. At the cost of livelihood increases and more pressure comes from various angles, there is a correspondence stress on the mental health of individuals. So today we'll be looking at coping with mental illness and understanding suicide prevention. We'll also be taking a look at the front pages of some national dailies as we look at the headlines. Our analysts will be joining us on off the press for that. Hello, good morning and welcome to the Breakfast on Plus TV Africa. I am Maureen Menong Weizigwe. And I am Yamgul Agadji. Every weekend we just pray for the days to run so that we can get to Monday and reconnect with you because it is because of you that we are here as well. So we're hoping that you have a positive mindset, this mindset Monday and welcome to the breakfast. Yeah. We hope you woke up on the right side of the bed because if you didn't wake up on the right side of the bed, the rest of the day may just not be, but whichever side of the bed you woke up on, it's a new week. It's begun already. So just embrace it and make the most of it. Tell yourself that, look, this week I will achieve, this week will bless me. You see, the sun rose, no matter how dark the night was, the sun still rose. No matter how cloudy the morning might be, the sun is still there shining. So no matter how you woke up, like she said, whatever part of the side of the bed you woke up from, be sure that the evening meets you smiling, meets you with a positive mindset, meets you as a very, very joyous person because even in scripture they say, even if you are angry, you shouldn't allow the sun to go down on your anger. So no matter how you're feeling, if you're feeling negative, be sure that as at the time the sun will be going down, you will be so positive that the people, even your enemies will be like, wow, what's going on here, you see. So but it's a Monday and it is the final Monday for the month of September. Every time we get to September, they say we are in Mba Monsa. Yeah, the Mba Monsa here. September to remember. So make every moment count. That's what really matters this morning. Make every moment count. We have our top trending for you this morning. We have three, four of them and we will begin with. All right, I'm waiting for it to be scrolled up. Okay, we'll begin with the situation in one of the states where I'm talking about Delta State specifically, the Ecobaptist General Hospital Delta State, the MD, the team of doctors and the state government, among others, have been dragged to the Delta State High Court for professional negligence that allegedly led to the death of a 33-year-old woman, Mrs. Anesta Egede. In the right of summons, the Mr. Fester's Gotson Egede, as Clement named Ecobaptist General Hospital Delta State, government, and Dr. Totibo, among others, as defendants, that his husband, Gotson Egede, said that Dr. Ibom Totibo allegedly let cotton wool in his wife's abdomen after surgery, which led to her death. Mrs. Egede Anesta was allegedly having pain in her abdomen and went to Catholic Hospital Obiaruko, where she was admitted, and his scan of her abdomen was duly recommended by the hospital, which revealed she was suffering from appendicitis. According to Mr. Fester's Gotson Egede, the hospital claimed the appendicitis was not up to 7.6% and as such, not up to the level for her to need the minor appendicitis operation as she was discharged from the Catholic hospital after two days of admission. Upon getting home and the pain persisting, Mr. Fester's Egede claimed to have taken the wife to Ecobaptist General Hospital for further examination of the already established appendicitis. A certain Dr. Edom Totibo, after having done another scan on her and further physical examination on Mrs. Anesta Egede, allegedly opined that her appendicitis was due and directed to surgery to remove the appendicitis for the next day. Mr. Egede stated that after the surgery, his wife was wheeled to a private ward for close observation, noting that instead of improving, she started to rapidly deteriorate, you know, weakened as her abdomen began to swell and she could not gas or stew for over 14 days. Dr. Egede recommended MRI scan which was conducted at Lilly Hospital, Benin City, Edo State and the result analyzed as a plethora of specialists, by plethora of specialists. It was allegedly determined that Dr. Edom Totibo and his team led a huge cotton wool on Mrs. Anesta Egede's abdomen after the surgery. She died from that. It's really unfortunate. The first hospital said it was not ripe enough. It was not mature enough for them to do an operation. And I don't know if that is what happened here, but the experience I've had is sometimes these private hospitals just make sure that you get a procedure that will bring more money. For instance, you're going to have a baby, even if it is a possibility that you can have it naturally, it will tell you you need CS, whether you like it or not, you need CS.  And then sometimes they diagnose you in ways that when you go to real hospitals, places that they will tell you the truth, you'll be surprised at the kind of things that they tell you. I don't know if it is because there's no regulation, I don't know, but in the medical field there should be so much regulation that everybody, there should be a lot of sincerity so that anybody that goes to a hospital knows if it is cancer, you know it is cancer, if it is something else, you know it is something else. Yeah, but in this case it was the general hospital that said she needed to be operated on. What I'm alarmed about is the frequency, you know, which we hear of doctors living in a sea source or cotton wool or some metal inside a patient's body after operation. I don't get it. There's supposed to be a team surrounding the person during the operation. How come all the nurses, all the auxiliary nurses, the doctors themselves, you know, the surgeons, they just forget that, I mean, I don't understand the negligence. There was a story a few days ago that a doctor died because he was on call for 72 straight hours. He was having a neurosurgery and all that, so maybe, I'm not saying this is an excuse, but maybe hospitals are so short-starved that the ones that work there, all of them will be so tired that I'm just making small excuses, but it should never happen that a hospital will have a doctor on call for more than even 24 hours. I heard that story. I was alarmed. But again, the cases, I mean, a lot of things are really coming up now. Is it that they forget an equipment in the patient's body or they have as the patient's organ? We heard of one that happened in Platus State, then the one that happened in Lagos State. And God knows other cases that have been undetected. Perhaps the person died without them knowing that indeed an organ was harvested at some point. Because there's usually no autopsy, so nobody thinks about what happens to the patient. Now the senator, Ned Woko, was saying that he was going to... Sponsor a bill. They'll make mandatory for autopsy to be done before someone is buried. Mobile case has brought that to fore. Very unfortunate things happening to Nigerians and things that shouldn't really be, I mean. There we're talking about, I remember some months ago, we're talking about how it is unfortunate that when people are rushed to hospital on emergency cases or on emergency cases, money is requested first before life is attended to, which shouldn't be. There was even a case where police had to take a patient to hospital and about four hospitals rejected the patient. And if the police cannot bring a case to the hospital and it's attended to, so where are we even getting at? A lot needs to be done in Yamgo. Life must be made sacred because life is sacred. There's no duplicate for life. So whatever it is, this administration really does have a lot. It's got its work cut out for him. If they actually are determined to do this and begin to know what their duties are, because sometimes the governments do not even know what their duties are. And so they are left unattended to so many things need to be done. The medical association, yes, they are calling for more attention to be given to that sector, but all hands must be on deck. When the government leaves up to its expectations, the practitioners themselves, you also leave up to their own expectations so that Nigerians are not left at the mercy of some very crooked people. One thing that is missing in Nigeria very greatly is monitoring. Some of these things that we're complaining about that there's not much funding that is going to eat and all that. If everything that goes into some of these sectors is monitored, we will have better results than what we have now.  When we're growing up, school inspectors, we're like some demigods. They will come all the time and teachers know that they can come at any time. So their notes are up to date. The students are such that if an inspector comes and asks the question in the class, the students will be ready to answer. So the teachers are teaching. They know that the scheme of work is being covered and all that. Nowadays we don't see monitors anymore. We don't see inspectors of schools anymore. We don't have aggregate extension officers anymore. We don't have all these people that used to be there to see how the people are doing. Farmers, how are you doing? Are there innovations? Aggregate extension officers will show you. Now they are no longer there. Teachers, are you doing well? The students, are you doing well? Schools, inspectors are there. Now we don't see them anymore. And it cuts across all the sectors of our economy. All the sectors, even NAVDAC. Even NAVDAC, I remember when that issue of the Indomie came up. It took a long time before NAVDAC conducted daring tests and were told is because they had to import what they were going to use to conduct the test. And I was thoroughly alarmed that NAVDAC cannot conduct some necessary tests in this country without having to take some time to import what they would use. And sometimes it doesn't come because they cannot get these equipments, but they just don't want to get... I'm not talking about NAVDAC now, I'm talking about all other sectors. They just don't want to import it because it will not give them the opportunity to go outside. And there's money that comes from going outside and all that, so they will just neglect it. Even the people who have, let's say, they have conference rooms in their ministries, they still go outside to do their meetings, they do whatever they need a conference room for. I'm interested in the fact that Nigerian governments have to go abroad for their summits. The entertainment industry goes abroad to do a ward for artists of Nigeria, it doesn't really make sense to me, I don't know the craze of going abroad that everybody wants to do. Nigeria needs a rebirth, a lot, a lot has gone wrong, a lot has gone wrong. Staying with health issues, the next story is about diphtheria. I know it is not COVID and the craze about it, the whole world may not be talking about it, but we are losing people, people are dying. At least 10 people have reportedly died following an outbreak of 91 suspected cases of diphtheria across 14 local government areas in Jigawa state, that is just one state. The State Minister of Health confirmed this to a journalist during a press briefing in Dutsey on Sunday and the permanent secretary in the ministry, Dr. Salisou Mouazou, said so far two cases had been confirmed at Kazare and Jahun local government areas while some samples have been taken to Abuja for confirmation and you see during the COVID era how many people died from that state. Now we are talking about 10 from something that is not even given that much attention. Mouazou pointed out that this outbreak was particularly concerning as it occurred in areas with a history of zero dose routine immunization against the epidemic and according to him the ministry swiftly initiated an investigation gathering essential information and data from the affected regions and promptly notified the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency and the National Center for Disease Control, NCDC. They asked them to coordinate further actions and according to him the state government is actively preparing to administer vaccines as soon as they become available. Meanwhile, permanent secretary attributed the outbreak to the disruptions in healthcare services caused by COVID-19 pandemic explaining that the suspension of routine immunization during the period posed a significant challenge. Now COVID-19 will now be like the devil, you do anything but you blame it on the devil even if you're doing it with your clay constant you blame it on the devil everything is now COVID-19 but the worrisome thing is that in the north people are still not as welcoming to immunization routine as they should be at least not as much as the south. There are some communities you go to and they don't believe in immunization and all that so I'm thinking where the problem is is it that the the the clergy are not doing enough or the government is not doing enough but national orientation and all that but a lot of these people their beliefs come from a religious background so is it time to train the clergy or to talk more to the clergy or how does this orientation get to the grassroots so that they can accept this it's not enough to even say it is because of the disruptions in COVID-19 pandemic it has been a big problem in the north that a lot of times people reject immunization and if things like this happen how are they going to cope they'll be prone to it. Oftentimes people reject immunization because of lack of trust and confidence in these immunizations there have been different stories some have been said to be conspiracy theories some have been said to be quite legitimate so there have been concerns I think one of the ways to get over this is for homegrown vaccines to be made available to the people perhaps they would have more confidence that this is coming from our people it will not do us harm because there is this concern and we cannot wish that away and people are entitled to their analysis of what you're going to be putting into their own bodies so they're entitled to whatever safety precautions they think is necessary for themselves all their words or their children so that is the issue we need to find alternative to the vaccines brought from abroad to our people but is that really their concern because the people who reject these vaccines sorry to say but I don't think they are so educated to know the difference so I place as a person I'm just placing the fault on the people who need to really educate them because even if you're they're homegrown so long as it's an injection and not a book let me use that one a lot of people will reject it so whoever is responsible for letting the people know the importance should do do do their work I think there's not enough education for them okay also in the north I hear stories you lived in the north I don't know maybe the stories are wrong but sometimes some men especially a lot of men believe that if their wives need to go to hospital to give birth they are not strong enough to be wife materials so a lot of them prefer to stay at home give birth at least I was had of having the testimony from someone whose community believe this that you are not strong enough so you you are not even strong enough if you you you you shout when you're giving birth you have to swallow everything and show that you're a strong woman and just be maybe shaking your head and until you have a baby there are people who still need to be yeah I even I even saw a documentary in that direction and yes there are people with such mentality I haven't met anyone really but there are people or there have been people who have such mentalities who believe that a woman should not you know exactly and that if you give birth through a series or if you're required if you require serious to give birth then you're not strong as your mates are those are daft thinking but yes there have been such thoughts and there have been such people do they still exist I don't know I can't trust me they do because the story is a recent story but bottom line is people we cannot assume that people should know better until you tell them you have no right to say they should know there are a lot of people who still believe in things that are really weird and unless the people some of us who are privileged enough to read white and to to have some knowledge about these things we are failing them if we do not educate them now this is not just national orientation agency which is dead anyway as far as I'm concerned but everybody else who is privileged enough to know better should be able to impact that knowledge on the people who do not know sometimes they will trust you more than a government person coming to tell them because you are part of them what about those who know who are actually the ones telling them these things for selfish reasons maybe not for selfish reasons maybe for selfish reasons you're saying the same thing you're like a doctor who is divorcing your wife because she's giving you female children how does that work so you know and you're still doing this is selfish okay let's take this third top trend then away from the picture on the screen a two-story building has reportedly collapsed at al-haji monsoon street in jagoon in alimosh your local government area of legos in a video that went viral on sunday the building collapsed on a smaller structure it is however unclear if there are any casualties due to the building collapse another building collapsed another one bites the dust it's almost like it's a daily occurrence in legos only the ones that made it make it to the press are the ones that we see yes it's it's terrible there's a possibility there will be at least one person in that place but we have not found the whole thing just because the building in front is either a shop or somewhere that someone is yeah some shanty yeah there must be people living in there so tragic so unfortunate people are caught in corners just to make money which is very very very sad the person who is building the house may not have the intention of living there and the person who has taken the contract may not even be thinking about the safety of people it is in legos that i hear that blocks do not need to be strong because you are going to have pillars so there are some blocks that you can use your hand and just scatter you just yeah a lot of the blocks i'm telling you a lot of the blocks are like that and the kind of i don't know i don't know sometimes the buildings are not even meant to be more than a bungalow you know yeah the the rods that are being used the rods that are being used have specifications if it has to be a story building or two story building and all that but they don't do that they just use any iron they are using it it's the same way when they're doing a culvert they just use any iron and two months later the culvert has collapsed and then they're coming to fix it again every time every time and then yeah and if you look around i mean the house is the modern buildings today back in the days growing up do you remember how difficult it used to be to hit a nail on yes to take it through it's so hard we had what we call and i think we still have them concrete nails you needed concrete nails to be able to nail anything to the wall but today just a little thing and the whole wall comes off everything just it wasn't even a common thing to have hollow blocks anyway they just had the blocks that had no holes and it was one sturdy thing and it was good enough but nowadays like you said the blocks you are hitting a hole in one and the whole wall comes crumbling down because it's terrible monitoring should be done lego state government be deliberate about this the amount of buildings collapsing in legos is too much legos is the smallest or one of the smallest states housing 10 percent of the population of uh of nigeria and so everything has to be deliberated the eyes of government cannot be anywhere everywhere but there are collaborations that can be made and there are societies concerned with the building we don't know how much collaboration has been done with those people but these incidences of building collapsing every day must stop has to stop they have to stop if they're watching the breakfast and plus tv africa and it's time for us to take a little break and come back and give you up to press stay with us
