Okay Okay, I'll start right now then Okay. Hello everyone and welcome to the 1230 breakout session of the open simulator community conference 2013 as a reminder to our in-world and Web audience you can view the full conference schedule on our website at conference that open simulator Org and you can post your questions in local chat on the uStream chat Or tweet your comments Or tweet your comments on the hashtag OSCC 13 This hour we are happy With the enterific panel on the fantastic voyage of converting to open sim for biology and archaeology education The virtual islands for better education called vibe is a collaborative of college and k12 Educators and virtual world builders looking to leverage open sim for learning activities What the panel will cover is their experience moving lessons from second life to open sim Usage by college students for genetics and global health Usage by fourth-graders for biodiversity and construction of massive creative commons literature libraries Our panelists include Max Chatner Eva Komarowski Steve Gassior Joe Graham Dragon Lalloc Carolyn Lowe Lazaron Papadopoulos Greg Perrier Martin Smeltzer Rachel you Moran. Let's all Welcome the panel and we will start with Steven Zuflach Thank you Dylan. Thank you for moderating and thank you to the organizers of the OSCC 2013 It's real great privilege for us to present and have this opportunity to talk about our work I would like to open with machinima made by one of our members and I'm going to post it into the media screen and This is a machinima that gives a nice overview of what it'd be like to visit our grids now You may need to click on the media screen as it pops up behind us To actually view it's about three minutes. So we'll let that play Okay, as I have that people are indicating that it's done Again, if you didn't have a chance to view the whole thing Please look at the link and local chat And I'd like to have Bert matchman in real life dragging like a give a quick blurb about the machinima Thank you. Thank you very much Steven Thank you vibe for the opportunity to be part of such a great Virtual world educators and for the opportunity to create the wild trailer Thanks to East the Sigma for nominating this video as the finalist of the people's choice in the science show Categories of the Sigma at the machinima first 2013 and thanks to VWBP for selecting this video as the second place of the VWBP 2013 film and machinima award at the 2013 VWBP conference As a member of vibe, I would like to present this machinima as the overview of the huge achievement of the virtual world educators. So, um, I will actually Just have a quick overview of the fathers and sons exploration of the 3d virtual worlds But the vibe was the main one which we actually enjoyed So I will just pass the message to Young generations to continue Using the virtual worlds and start making the films and machinimas in the virtual worlds. Thank you Okay, thank you And that's going to be the main Points for today's presentation is that we're going to talk about an overview of what the vibe grids are about and for Then let the grid masters talk about their individual experiences with bringing students through the different grids so this slide Is showing a little bit about my perspective again as as educators How educational technology can be used to to Do a class and really at the very base level it's about delivery And I have a few exemplars here different platforms that can be used to again present information chat videos to uh for learning And then that next level up where you can use flash animations or virtual worlds really has to do with enhancing that educational experience Maybe bringing in field trips or manipulatives that allow the students to engage on their own through different activities to really learn the material more clearly That's really only those virtual worlds those class those classes of platforms allow students to interact to present concurrently That allow you to do things like drive a mars rover or to cooperate in building Or to visit places like a holocaust museum where again A quick shout out to the virtual pioneers and shift whitfield Who had sorry spiff whitfield who had a tour and that It was really powerful going to the second live holocaust museum and You know anybody out there who's wary about virtual worlds and doesn't know or doesn't feel like they can engage You emotionally well, then they haven't been to the holocaust museum in second life But again, it's this level the highest level of really getting students brains and activities and thoughts and personalities engaged in learning that we think are Best for bringing in and allowing the students to learn and really truly incorporate information into into their learning experience and Second life, of course is a wonderful environment, but if you have been in the educational space, uh, there's a lot of Momentum against trying to get second life used in a lot of different situations And some of that has to do with perspectives on what second life can do Some of it has to do with the ability to actually control that environment and to control the students in that environment And so this highest level of being able to perform the instruction we feel are these open source Virtual worlds where ultimately you do have complete control over the access the content How much you duplicate it? Again, if you are finding that you don't have enough capacity It's relatively easy to duplicate that because open source and that open license now Our main mission is to provide these educational resources that take advantage of that open sim platform Because we feel that they provide those immersive learning experiences I do want to Talk a little about the history of our group where we didn't know about open sim other than being this vague mythological beast until a land grant uh Call for proposals went out from the fashion research institute Then that was being done in conjunction with intel and they were hosting that on a science And that's where we said oh, hey, maybe there's something beyond what we can do to virtual worlds beyond second life using open sim Now we moved to our own hyper grid servers, which we maintain And serve and that these are something that again for us to fully provide and control Is something that we feel uh having our own server experience and our own servers is really important for that again What i'm going to do at the end of my Segment is to just give a quick perspective on what that is like because that's a relatively Rare phenomenon, I think for the non-technical user So our grid list right now and this is just a listing that is Uh Something you can view later. I don't want to go through all the details of it right now because these grid masters will be presenting In relatively in order The people who are not here last pop Cannot make it. He does pediatric dentistry has a nice simulation and a grid As well as nova saunders who's having some personal Things to take care of on this weekend and so Those grid masters won't be here now kira komarov is a scripting and Administrator wizards and if you have not been to her Uh wiki was.fm and looked over the stuff she's Doing for open sim and second life and a variety of other computer related areas Then you know you're missing out and a lot of her stuff Is basically an open license and so it's stuff that you can take is available She has descriptions of how to implement it videos And you really should take a look at that and her technical expertise has been something that's really been integral To are doing what we've been wanting to do again. She does have an attribution license So please make sure you credit her when that credit is due now greg premier Who's a biology educator at northern virginia community college also cannot be here for technical issues And he's someone who doesn't have a grid, but is very engaged in using second life for his students instruction To go through some of the grids in terms of their usage by students genome island Something that a lot of educators are familiar with from second life something that has Been a part of their showcase Max has been taking about 35 students per year from texas wesley and through there Which is an underestimate of how many people use it. I was teaching biology classes I would have my students go on field trips to genome island Her open sim grid in a little bit smaller in terms of prims, but you'll notice it uses four regions And she had 40 students in one of those regions when it was was on science sim And she had 40 students in that open sim grid this last spring And she'll talk I think a little bit about the ability to spread information out over more area Which again has its pluses and advantages in terms of the student experience The next grid I want to just mention is bio something that carolin low chloe greenwood and second life Had up and running in second life for several years bringing many students through from northern michigan university Now again, you'll notice on the left here I have a little grayed out region when I was actually collecting these map tiles There happened to be an offline region called fantasy land with a ph nearby genome And I thought that that having it being offline was just a good visual indicator of what some of our experiences are with second life that you know if you Can't pay for you can't bring certain students in there or people don't like it Then it's just a fantasy land and it's going to be offline in terms of second life She has biome as a grid And that she's had students come through there including k through 12 much more spread out And in many ways a much more controlled and enjoyable experience for many classes of students Now because of her experience with some fourth graders with the collaborator We've actually completely duplicated that grid and made it Biome for kids again. This is a completely separate server instance That was relatively easy to Make a copy of the original and now it's something that's a closed system exclusively for the use of fourth graders or k through 12 students In the this summer and the upcoming semesters global health by rachel and moran again rachel glow eu in second life Is something that she had started in second life and she you'll notice the region on the right She had 10 students come through that were nursing students and has about 3 700 prims And it's a homestead region. So the number of concurrent users is also relatively small On the right or her open sim grid with 20 some thousand prims again A lot of those are linda kelly based prims But there's a region on there which is a specific global health experience where the avatars can go through interact with essentially bots of villagers to understand Various disease outbreaks and again you can die in terms of having your health go away in terms of a gamification The one thing that we used open sim for that grid was while that region was nice having it on there We actually created a whole separate server instance of a separate traveler grid that only is that one region And that's something that took very little time and effort because it's easy to duplicate it from the Prior creation and that's something that 70 students have been through so far and again There's some plans for that in the upcoming semesters as well Nova archaeology again, this is something that again nova saunders mary and smelter in real life had at Indiana University of pennsylvania And again that funding went away for that grid and so now she's been on open sim And she's spread her archaeology out again one of the advantages that she has In terms of recreating digs that are going on at her university Is that she can take various Recreations that are different dig sites and space them out into different regions So that they are more dedicated regions. You're not crowded and the students can experience them One at a time because her department's doing a variety of digs around the world including Belize and some roman ruins as well as local ones in pennsylvania Now project alexandria again something that in terms of second life is just impossible There are server decisions that are a part of a creation by kira comoroff And that's something that allows you to upload content from the server into prims On the region and then have those be drivable by a menu for the various users And so we've been uploading creative common license We're basically creative common materials both images and text that then are searchable and accessible by individual avatars And callion will be giving joseph gram callion will be giving a little bit of an overview of that okay, so in terms of the transition from To open sim from second life there are a lot of things that In terms of my experience First when I got started as well as other second life users that you just don't know about it And so you aren't going to venture into it unless you have some concrete knowledge of what use useful features it has And so here's just a quick listing of some that I think are probably the most important that whether it just exists at all the ability to import and export Your creations into open sim The wide variety of material that's pre-built out there and the fact that whatever skills that you develop with a viewer That all maintains the same you don't have to learn a whole new platform of of manipulating an avatar And the fact that again the land is free if you're running your own servers or again You can use a hosting service that provides land at a cheaper price in second life And I think you know, there's a bit of a marketing and advertising angle that we as a community Need to do just on an ongoing basis with people that we know To get them aware of the advantages of open sim and that doesn't mean you have to abandon second life But there are things you can do in open sim that you otherwise can't do and in fact The panel will probably back me up on this is that really they were sold on the first The first four when we talked about some of the transition from second life into open sim for our group And again, Greg premier at northern virginia Community college. He hasn't made that transition to open sim and he was going to present today a little bit about some of the barriers that He's making that transition But he right now has a system where hundreds of students every semester in his genetics lab are actually using second life for their classroom experience now One of the things that I want to address and to talk about very briefly is once one is there. What is that experience like? and I think that This picture kind of reminds me of what that experience has been for me as well as for our grid masters And again, this is called the grab by Frederick glacier and photographer in the early 1900s and That trapeze artist that woman who's in the air She is presuming That she is not going to fall to the ground But there is always that moment in time of not knowing How that is going to end up and again, that's part of the drama of watching the circus and so Acknowledging that open sim is I think a relatively hardened although alpha software that is a community effort the There are going to be certain inherent uglies about it that again one has to manage or work their way around And at the point for someone like myself who actually is running the console right in the servers themselves Then for and for anybody who would want to run one of these you have to learn how to be comfortable with text command and console information and editing These iron files which are said as you start software is really important. You have to do that manually I think if you want voice your grid there's one model that you're going to have to make It's long settings or even just having formatting it to will break your grid. And so it's It's very nerve-racking anytime you go in there and do that Uh creating and managing archives. So again people talk about how great it is to have archives to do a safer information to upload people's Okay, can you hear me now? Sorry, we had a little bit of a Internet traffic on the voice. Okay Uh, let me log back out Log back in okay. Sorry, we had some voice issues Is that working better now? Okay great, thank you uh That these are very daunting tasks and there's a lot to learn and in fact one of the things that we've had to deal it's been quite a bit of time with is uh Grid bills that just blow up on a grid Or crashes and there's this watchdog that comes up. Oh, I don't know what he's watching You know, and so uh, there's no documentation of what the watchdog is if you do a google search for open sim console watchdog The first pages don't have a description of what that is or the issues related to it I keep running into unknown user. This guy is after me all the time And so these aircodes these odd ball of glitches get sometimes even full of great crashes That is a barrier to adoption Okay, I'm hearing we're having some some technical issues. Let me just say one thing and that uh, to be able to people in the tech hall Correct, can you exit the tech hall? And then I have my voice now Dolan, are you able to hear or can you speak quickly to see how the voice is from you? Okay, uh, this is Dolan. We're having a little bit of voice problems with uh, Steven We're working on getting it fixed right now. If anyone has any questions, please ask them in text chat Okay, I'm almost done. So let me make let me make one more point out The issue I have my voice now. Is that working? It's okay people I don't hear anything right now You don't hear anything for me Oh, I we're waiting right now for Steven to come back in He's having unfortunate troubles with his voice chat right now Maybe someone else would like to take over and uh Do they're part of the presentation right now because it's um Almost one o'clock. Okay. I can try that. Are you hear me? Yes, I can hear you max. Good. Okay. Let's see if I get my slides on here Um while we're in it and maybe we could take the question Okay, uh max are you Talking right now. I don't hear you. I'm not. I was talking about slide below You're working on the slides right now Yeah, actually maybe Okay, audience while we're waiting, uh, does anyone have any questions for Steven about his part of the presentation? I See Gwinnett has a question. Do any of your friends focus on students learning to create to enhance curriculum? Or maybe she means do any of your grids grids Um, chloe could talk about that. Yeah, we'll do that Um, let me see if my audio Is not all my audio. Okay I just want to make sure. Oh good. I have um Been working just primarily to enhance learning. Um, it does make sense to me with my aunt my face to face classes To use a virtual world if it's not going to make the learning better. It's a tool and so that's what I've been doing and uh With both undergrad graduate students and um pay 12 as well so how do you Exactly what would you want to tell about that? Um, for example I use, um A point quarter that i'm for diversity studies was just something that is used by Horisters and it's great where I live you can go out in the woods and do it and I'll be doing that but If you're teaching in inner city should talk about you can't do that. So I created that activity So I can have that experience. Um, also we have Yes Yes, I can hear your voice Heidi, uh, caroline. Are you able to speak right now? Oops, we just lost we just lost caroline. Okay, can you max is talking? Um, am I still in? Yes, okay Well, let me just talk a little bit about, uh, what I've said Doing on um on the five islands Oh, let's check we've got caroline Yes, what would you like me to do hidey? Yes, do you want me to speak right now? Okay, I can hear you hidey Do you want me to hang up and call back? Oh, okay Yes, you want me to speak am I alive or just speaking with you guys? I think Caroline is trying to present in text. Yes, I'm back Hi dragon. Can you hear me caroline? Yes, we hear you and we see you on the Skype call. I'm I'm here caroline. Yes So do you want to stay? The problems that we've had with implementation Has um with the administration. I have not had any problems with parents which is I'm opening it up to homeschooled kids Kids and um online programs And kids just for fun So I have some several kids going in there. They love to build They like to interact They love to help teachers Tell them how to build and so it's been really um Beneficial the school who has been using it as part of one of my student thesis Um has moved towards they want to use it for all their grades So the school board is 100 behind it Obviously, um online schools are going to be interested and I just met some people whose children are enrolled in an online k-12 school They're elementary kids and I think this will be a good venue for them Obviously as we get bigger then we'll have to look at more servers and You know more more uh space Right now biome has six islands. Um, I'm using earth systems education as a basis So I have Tidersphere biosphere atmosphere Biome, which is the home island and you know me again, which is a native american Island biome for kids has the same islands except it does not have you know me again Instead of seaborgia, which is a club island. That's kids and I are building That imagine area which is an island just for them to build I had to create that island because we're building everywhere And I have a car before they study Those kind of organisms and there were all kinds of random objects in it.  So you can see that They were actually exhibiting understanding of adaptation environment a lot of ecology concepts But that's um her thesis study So since um open sim versus second life, I will not use second life again for education OSM solves a whole lot of problems. My biggest problem is moving animals and if they have good animals that would be great But uh, I will not be using Uh, second life education anymore. This is working better for my undergraduate students At work, it's obviously So I'm going to leave it at that and my email is the l o w e At nmu.edu should be up on the slide. Please contact me or chloe greenwood Via biome or virtual second life And I'd be happy to work with you and answer any questions that you might have any I guess I'll pass this on to the next person Okay, we'll take a break for a second. Wow The next person gets ready If you have any questions, please type them in text chat Rachel is going to be on next I made it back Did I start the call? Yes, originally I was on the call. Am I not on the call right now? Do you want me to hang up? Okay, I'm hearing fairly Yes, I'm back. This is Dylan This is Steven. I'm back Hello, can you hear me? Rachel right? Yes, I'm back Okay, wonderful Okay, so as I transfer my slides, um just as a precaution in case I Fall out. I'm going to go ahead and post some text chat here about what I'm going to say But we started Looking at the possibilities of can you hear can everyone hear me? Okay, wonderful. We started looking at the possibilities of using open sim About a year ago. Actually, we'd been using second life for two years And we were very limited In terms of some of the things that we could do on second life And so we started looking at open sim as a way of Illuminating some of those issues So I think I should have slides coming up momentarily And as soon as they come up Oh Start going So I'd like to give a lot of credit to Eva Komarowski as Steven said earlier. She's Been scripture slash designer For one of the projects that I'm going to be talking about as well as Natalia Reibas who's been A great source of help on intercultural communication, which is something that we're focusing on and Jill Heffenstein Who's the director of our interdepartmental global health track So the landscape of us global health programs and this dates back to 2011 but it was one of the better slides I could find Is very broad There are a lot of people working in global health right now And there is a lot of student interest in global health, which means that we need to scramble at least we have And scramble health educators have over the last Five to seven years to develop good preparatory experiences and also good measures Of students knowledge Now some of the ways that we teach global health are the traditional dreaded lecture journal clubs case-based discussions In-class cultural vignettes are kind of the closest you would get to Being able to role play or Do what we do in virtual worlds But in a simulation you can Really represent a local hospital or village or refugee camp or shanty town something that you wouldn't be able to do Without it being prohibitively expensive in real life Students can learn in context they can interact with users from many different countries Now in practice our global health focus has actually been in eastern africa and so You know while the broadband patrons there is getting a little bit better It's not to the point where we can really say that our students are able to interact with either their colleagues or With members of the local community there. So in practice what we have been able to do is use NPCs and bots And those of you that've been to a few sessions Or done a little bit in open sim know that NPCs are something that you cannot replicate in second life whereas bots you can have those Um and bots work equally well in open sim and sometimes actually better because you have more control over how you can link them to external databases So this shows um one of our regions that travelers activity And as you can see it's divided into eight sub activities um, the students are Start out at the start and they followed up a path all the way through And each activity builds on the next in order to Get the students to the final point Which is the mizongo house and that's um another name for white white people in swahili So the students usually have fun with that They do interactive tasks and there are two focuses Two main objectives one is to teach the student about health and disease And the other is to start the process of teaching intercultural communication The second is much more challenging than the first But the second is where we can really use the affordances of open sim So the students use a health exposure tracker attachment that monitors their health They are able to get microscopic views of a water sample for disease causing microorganisms Um, they need to use the right medication to cure exposures and there are periodic As if not through the entire build Um with for intercultural communication They are able to interact with and obtain information from the NPCs And so I will finish up with a few pictorial slides of the build And in the distance you can see a cattle herder And this particular part of the build is the masai herdsman portion where they are Asked to interact with a masai herdsman who is an mpc With a ractor script in him and so he is able to communicate with them Depending on how polite they are to him his responses are much more Welcoming and they're able to get the information that they need Otherwise he is rather dismissive This is the village. Um, here their goal is to Identify the leader the community leader who's the chief and to get permission from him to test the water They have to figure out where the water source is also And once they receive that information they can go to the water source and test the water for disease causing organisms and Along the way and through this process They are exposed as they go through the sim to various endemic diseases that are typically Encountered in this setting and you know once their avatar is ill They will know that from their exposure tracker and they will start to lose health. So it's a The goal is to learn about these diseases because they have information from Their backpack and their no cards But also to stay healthy and so we find that as they repeat this activity their health scores go up Because they more they show evidence of retention of this knowledge So they don't They don't get ill either they avoid the exposure or they don't stay ill very long because they're able to quickly treat their condition So we have a local hospital with patients and Getting to the last slide here We have the mozonga house and the vision of this Hasn't been fully realized yet because students have kind of just gone through the simulation But the goal is to provide a meeting place for not only debriefing after your simulation But also regrouping and being able to connect. So i'm going to stop there And let somebody else come in Yes I am done So that was my last slide Yep And thank you for your attention Okay, thank you rachel. This is steven again and We've run near the end of time. So i'll just make a quick mention about project alexandria as possibilities What i've read here in the front of the room is a bookcase That you should be able to take a copy of that has an example of the A literature library of children's stories Something you can take something that can be created by using the technology of project alexandria I would like to summarize and thank My grid masters for being here and talking about their different grids And to just make one final call that I had at the end of my presentation Which is that for people like myself who are not technically inclined that are at the console But aren't builders aren't programmers that The more people can Create tutorials create clear guidelines for Other people who are trying to build regions to talk about best practices The more that those are available the better for the community as a whole We have on the left I put up a poster where you have grid tours september 17th From 5 to 7 p.m. Pacific and at this point I'd be happy to take any questions And please put them in local chat and then I think our time is up Okay, thank you Thanks to our panel for a terrific presentation As a reminder to our audience you can see what's coming up on the conference schedule at conference dot open simulator dot org In this room the next session will be at 130 students as avatar pedagogy psychology and learning by bill solomon son Thank you again to our speakers and the audience will be back shortly with our next session If you want to talk to steven or the other audience members They will hang around afterwards or be sure to friend them and talk to them later

Hey folks, it's Hari Swaminathan from optiontiger.com. It is Monday, December 24th. The market is just about to open and you can see the ES is down about 1375. What I want to do in this video, obviously we are in a bearish environment. What I want to do is I have created this new signals for day trading. This is very powerful. This is proprietary. There's lots of programming involved in this. There's a mixture of simple moving averages, exponential moving averages, momentum MACD and money flow and all of that stuff. Then, of course, there is some qualitative analysis as well that goes into it. We want to focus on this particular column. The market is just about to open 19 seconds left and we want to see how these things move. What I have on the left side is the chart of the ES. It's a five-day-five minute. As you can see, this is all pre-market action right now and the market is just about to open and we are down about 1450. As you can see, most of the stocks are bearish. If there's anything that's bullish, that is gold. Now, the markets are open and you can see how these things can change as per this indicator. These are very good for day trades in general. What you want to do is just hang on there. You don't want to take any trade at the open. There's going to be some volatility and you can see the S&P is charging up and so the ES is now showing a neutral basis just based on some of these parameters that go into the calculation. What we want to do is just hang in there, wait and look at how these things change depending on how the markets move. I want to be quiet here and just look at the screens for a couple of minutes and see how it goes. Now, you can see some of these things are moving into bullish first. If it's very bullish based on the parameters of the algorithm, then it will go into very bullish or very bearish as it may, but looks like the S&P wants to charge higher and so you can see some of these, all of these stocks are moving into the bullish mode right here, at least for the day. This is a very day trading system. You might be in the trade for minutes, maybe an hour or so or a couple of hours. That's about it, but you really don't want to hold these positions overnight. These signals are valid for day trading and it's pretty intense in the sense that if you can take the trade at the right time, you can easily make the day trading numbers work for you in the sense that you can get about seven or eight winners right away and on the winners you can easily make more than what you would lose on the losers. Let's just hold it right here and watch this action as the market has just opened. It's just about a minute or 55 seconds into the market open here and you can see it's starting to move into bullish. That's because the S&P is moving higher from the pre-market and so now you see there's another, this is gold, of course, which is the two are the very bullish, the gold, which is acting like a safe haven. But what we want to keep track of is when one of these stocks go into the very bullish and then you can probably take a trade once it goes from bullish to very bullish and that's what the signal gives. Let's just hold it right here and watch it for a couple of minutes. In general, what you want to do is take trades that are in sync with the overall S&P. That's why I have the S&P chart right here. As the S&P goes up or down, you want to be able to identify the stocks that are strongly correlating with it and that's how you take the trade. We're going to keep it as this. Right now, there is no real trade opportunity as I see it. The S&P moved up higher but it seems to be struggling so I'm just going to pause it and we'll wait and see. Based on this action, you can see that Facebook has moved into very bullish. Let's click on Facebook and see, oh yes, it's moved really higher. You can see that this is a great trading opportunity right now. Perhaps you just want to wait for the ideal opportunity to enter but right at the get go, Facebook has jumped really high. This signal is coming out very strong and Facebook has moved into the bullish. Previously, there were only the gold futures as well as the GLD but now Facebook is looking very strong today. If the S&P continues to, even though it's negative, if the S&P continues to improve, then Facebook will do well and so this is when we can take a trade on Facebook and you can see it's still punching higher and the S&P is improving as well. This is a good sign. I'm going to come back to the S&P chart and also just keep one eye on Facebook and now you can see advanced micro devices also went into very bullish and so if we look at the advanced micro devices and you can see, boom, there it goes. At the open, it just went charging higher. These were two opportunities obviously to take a trade. Now, XLE, of course, is the energy. We know oil prices are going down so it's going to be very bearish and that's not a really good sign for the overall markets if oil is just going to go down because that indicates that the economy coming forward, I mean coming into the future is going to be somewhat weak. So that is a bearish sign but you can see the XLE also it's looking very bearish and if you look at the XLE chart and you can see that now, that is definitely looking bearish on a day trading basis. So this is all on a day trading basis. I'm going to go back to the ES and see what happens here. ES just crashed big time. So what we would want to see is stocks moving more into the very bearish range and perhaps Facebook and advanced micro devices, they might also turn around. Let's see. Yeah, Facebook is already turning around a little bit and so is advanced micro devices. So as you can see, there's a strong correlation between stocks and the index and this is what you would want to see and take the appropriate trade. Now, granted this five minute bar on both Facebook and AMD might have been too early and also too short of a trade but what you want to look for is trending situations on the SMP and then find the trending stock and that's when you take the signal. So I'm going to pause it here because we would like to see more, if the SMP is going down, we want to see more of the very bearish category because you want to take a put option trade rather than a call option. So if you look at Goldman Sachs, for example, yes, that is looking very bearish. Tesla is also looking bearish now. Yes, definitely I think Tesla would be a good candidate. XLE of course we know that it's very bearish. So once again, I'm going to pause it here and just look at the SMP and see where things go. So you can see now City Group has also moved into the very bearish category. So let's take a look at the City Group chart. Yes, it's definitely looking bearish. So that's a potential for a bearish trade. Now, the SMP is looking weak because just a couple of minutes ago, it was down about six points. Now it's down about 15 points again. So very volatile markets now and it's very strange for a December. We generally don't see this kind of volatility but what you want to do is on a daily basis take advantage of quick day trades in this environment because you never know what the overnight markets are going to bring and so holding positions overnight generally won't be recommended in this kind of a volatile situation and the other thing that you can look at is the VIX and if you look at the VIX, the VIX will be, it's already in the 30s and so if you see the VIX here, that's a very high level of VIX and so there's obviously lots of concerns in the market and so you're better off taking put option trades whenever the markets are looking weak and of course they will always be snapback rallies. So on any given day you might be taking call trades as well but on this particular day at least it looks like put options definitely seems to be a better option. Right now we have two stocks that are in the very bearish category and that is Goldman Sachs and Tesla and even though Facebook and all are looking bullish, you don't want to go against the grain of the S&P so as long as the S&P is the one that you're going to look at for your trade signals in the sense that whether you go bullish or bearish what you want to do then that this system will give you exactly which stocks are correlating much more to that kind of an environment and so now you can see the S&P trying to move up a little bit cut its losses and so a couple of other stocks are coming into the bullish category here but what you want to keep in mind is that there were a couple of stocks that were looking pretty bullish that was Facebook and AMD so let's go take a look at Facebook yeah it's trying to once again recover just like the S&P and AMD as well is the same story so let's just keep an eye out and see what's happening with the ES for some more time. Okay so the S&P seems to be getting weaker just a little bit but you can see there's more very very bearish coming in Caterpillar is coming to the very bearish category as well the only thing that are looking good are the gold stocks as well as Facebook and Facebook also should be retreating I believe yeah it is retreating but it's still in the very bullish category because it's made such a nice move up so as far as all the algorithm parameters are concerned it's still looking bullish however I think it's clear that it's weakening and so it might come out of the very bullish category into the bullish but obviously today you're not looking for bullish trades because the S&P is weak you can see that it is down 22 points now 23 points and so you want to take put option trades and so now there's quite a few candidates here we have Goldman we have Citigroup Tesla and Caterpillar all four are very bearish and so this is the kind of trade that you would want to take today and we could have taken a trade on either Goldman or Tesla before itself and you can see that it's been going down since then we looked at Tesla we we could have caught in a put option trade right there and taken it down similarly with Goldman sacks if you look at the first couple of bars they are right here and right now Goldman is at 156 so it's down about four dollars but we could have caught it much earlier so this is how these signals are working I'm going to be making these videos if you're interested in these signals please send me an email at info at option tiger.com again these are very powerful day trading signals available these trades can produce some very quick and very rewarding profits and there is a lot of parameters that have gone into the algorithm for this like as I said there's moving averages there's three different there is a couple of simple there's a couple of exponential moving averages there's also the momentum MACD calculations that are going in there's the money flow and of course it looks at volume as well and then there's a couple of qualitative parameters as well so all of that will be available as part of this signaling signaling system if anybody's interested please send me an email at info at option tiger.com thank you


If you're playing a game, there's only just one goal, putting that ball into the goal, that's not even the goal. If we just stay this way, at least who we are, our talent will get fully expressed. What we are not, we cannot do. If we do not do what we are not capable of, it doesn't matter. But if we do not do what we are capable of, that's a tragic life, isn't it? If everything is focused in one way, your body, your energy, your mind, everything is organized and just one direction. If we are not good enough, we have to prepare. If we are good enough, results will come for us. That's all the name is about.


Let's watch the new Walter Masterson video. So this one, he says, I love how many chuds crawled out of their holes to tell me I deserved violence and how they really don't hate women. So I'm not sure if this video is the same as this one. I told him that I would wait to react to this video until stream. So if there's a little bit of overlap, I'm assuming there is since he's wearing the same clothing. But this is the highlight. We'll watch this first and then we'll pivot to the longer video here. Whatever happened to church and state, they used to be friends. This is a great way for us to control women. Sir, how are you doing? You're not with our group. Yes, I am with you. No, you're not. I am with you.  I think everyone here agrees with me. I'm here because I cannot trust women to make their own decisions in life. If I could trust women to make their own decisions, then I'd be with you people. Women making their own decisions. Can you imagine that? Why are you touching him?  Can I say now?  And to be clear, I didn't give you all much context, but this is a forced birther rally that he is attending. So let's watch the longer video here because I'm curious to see how well it's going to go when he asks them to help him combat child hunger because, you know, they care about these lives, right? So we'll see. So we are here today to protect children. We all know that abortion is a wedge issue, right? It's designed to distract us from passing policy that is good for children. Tell me more. Well, you know, one in seven children is food insecure. They don't know where their next meal is coming from. So we have a petition for expanding universal pre-k nationwide free school lunch and expanding access to child care for working parents. The things that parents are most concerned about, the reason they have abortions. Who could object to that? Who could object to that? I'm just curious because I haven't seen this yet. Do you think that he's going to get a single Republican to support that agenda? Even one. I genuinely don't know. Maybe one, but I would be shocked. But overall, I think that the reception to that is going to be overwhelmingly negative. But, you know, we'll just have to wait and see. I don't agree with your three resolutions or your three objectives whatsoever. Are you worried about the ideology that will be taught at those? Yes, or where the money is going to come from. My personal view is that this should come from the military budget. I mean, and other things and wasteful spending in Washington DC. I think the military is one of the few things that the government should be starting running. Oh, of course. The federal government is one of the few things that the federal government should be spending money on is the national defense. Can we get your support? I'm sorry. Thank you. Oh, okay. There's this myth going around the media that we don't care about children once they're born. We're going to dispel that myth. Yeah. Well, you know, there are things going on. People looking after people have difficulties in their lives, but you just don't hear about it. Yeah. We have a petition today for universal pre-k nationwide free lunch for children and expanded access to child care for working parents. We're tackling the child poverty in America. That's 11 million children that go to bed hungry. Okay. Yeah. So do you like to, would you like to sign the petition? Well, first of all, I have to meet somebody in a couple of minutes.  I have to meet somebody. Okay, no problem. Don't worry about it. For universal pre-k. Wow. So this is why Walter is a genius. He got him to agree to the premise and then once he came up with the specific policies. Oh, sorry. I've got to meet somebody. Oh, the sun is in my eyes. I'm so sorry. I can't see what I'm doing right now. I've got these people are ridiculous. And think about this. These are policies that shouldn't be controversial to a normal society. We're talking about free lunches and the absence of free lunches. What? You support kids starving if their parents can't afford to purchase lunch for them. Do you support this weird draconian system where there's debt? Children can get in debt from not being able to pay for school lunches. I just feel like these are common sense things and to not support it, you're extremely cruel. And these fundamentalists are showing their true colors. They're saying, actually, we don't care about life. We don't care about these kids that we claim to care about. This is quite literally just about controlling women. Like, that's it. Like the first guy that we watched got offended when Walter was making fun of them saying, well, yeah, I hate women. I agree with you. But that is the crux of their position. It is quite literally about control. They want the state to exercise control over women that is not exercised over men. And they're just they're so transparent. They can't even fake it to make it, right? That's how fraudulent these people are. Okay, nationwide free lunch for children, expanded access to childcare for working parents. And together, we're going to make it easier for American Democrats.  I want to make sure and I want to do research until I can research more. I'm not going to. I don't believe in universal pre-k.  I swear to God. And I love how that guy's like, oh, I have to do more research because what does universal pre-k mean? Is it not abundantly clear just like with the title, universal pre-k free lunches?  And I love her shirt. I'm an abolitionist. Like I'm sorry, but how is this going to convince people to not get abortions? This looks like an alien like Mars attacks version of Jeff Bezos. If more women knew that this is what fetuses look like, then they would have more abortion. So I don't get the point that she's trying to make with this shirt. It's genuinely cursed. But let's see, maybe she'll agree. The parents are the main teachers. And if everybody goes to pre-k, they get into the public school system with some of the the liberal ideas that are there. You would have to increase the debt limit. You would have to increase taxes in order to pay for the nationwide free lunch. Yeah, that's everybody will take care of that. Everybody will take advantage of it. Well, I mean, if it means that kids don't go to bed hungry, is it not a good thing? What does she even mean by that? That kids are going to steal an extra biscuit or an extra slice of pizza?  This is the GOP's base. Fundamentally unprincipled, deeply unserious. It's just, it's unsurprising. I'll say that. Parents are responsible to make sure kids get fed. In states like Ohio, Indiana, like school, debt is keeping kids out of school because they can't afford the lunch break. We are here to protect children. That's why we're gathering petition signatures for universal pre-k, nationwide free lunch for children, expanded access to child care for working parents. Would you like to sign, sir? Sure I would. Absolutely. Wow, he found one. I travel the world for Jesus, and my job too is to get as many people into heaven like yourselves. Can I ask you to say a quick first, and you can know for sure you go to heaven too? Jesus come into my heart. And forgive me. This is special. And forgive me of all my sins. Amen. Amen.  That's why he died for us, and he stays with us as long as we stay with him. And that's what the Bible says.  Credit to this person though, honestly, because he actually is trying to follow the more socialist oriented version of Jesus.  So at least he's like principled in that regard. I've got to respect him there. But since he just helped Walter Masterson with this spell, and Walter Masterson's soul is now saved, don't let it be for nothing, Walter. Now your sins are forgiven. Sin a lot. Otherwise, Jesus died for nothing.  Snort. I can't, I can't, I'm going to violate the TOS, but I think you're picking up what I'm putting down. Do we have your support? Yeah. Fantastic. Universal Pre-K, free lunch for children and expanded access to child care for working parents. Universal Pre-K, nationwide free lunch for children and expanded access to child care for working parents. That sounds amazing.  Most women aren't looking to have an abortion. They're looking for support. Universal Pre-K, nationwide free lunch for children, expanded access to child care for working parents. Wow, wonderful. Absolutely. We're getting a lot of people that are older saying, well, I don't trust government. What I can tell you're here and you're your pro-life and you're marching with us. And so, I mean, I trust you guys based on that. I think there's this big skepticism, like with the older generations, the super anti-government, all that stuff. And with younger people like us, it's more like, well, we recognize the government is good and that, you know, we want legislation that's going to protect life and protect the unborn and protect marriage and protect the family. And there's nothing wrong with the government helping for that, you know? So the government's not inherently bad? No, of course not, of course not. Yeah. Do you identify as a libertarian? Absolutely not. No, no, I don't consider myself a libertarian. Okay, cool. Yeah, we meet a lot of different people at this march. It's very eye-opening. Yeah, absolutely. Awesome, man. God bless you. Universal pre-k, nationwide free lunch for children, expanded access to child care for working parents. And so, yeah, we're just getting signatures, man. Okay. Yeah, pretty cool. I don't see much controversy. Exactly. Don't see any controversy. Okay, that's incredible. Listen, here's the strategy. Okay, we get these folks to agree to all these policies, free universal lunches, universal pre-k, all of this, right? We reverse engineer their anti-abortion stance against them, bring them to our side temporarily to get these policies, form a temporary political alliance with them, and then we snatch the rug out from under them, legalize abortion again, and it's a win-win-win. That's what we've got to do, folks. That's how we proceed going forward. When the government is funding this program, they said, this is my money. I'm entitled to this money, and I get it whether I go to work or not. I mean, these are kids who are 68. I don't think they understand that. They just know I'm hungry. I'm sorry. Can we agree taxes never go down?   Are there policies that you believe would help children better? Yes, family.  I'm suggesting government programs that encourage marriage, that encourage men to commit to their children and to stay in their lives and pay child support. Yeah, no. I think the child support... It makes you where the fathers. I want to know where the fathers. This is definitely not popular among Catholic groups, but among other members of Christ.  Let me guess. Contraception. Exactly. No. It cuts the number of unwanted pregnancy, which cuts the number of abortions. The more people are having sex outside of marriage, the more unplanned pregnancy. Disaster. She's in this mindset that abstinence only education is preferable, because if you don't have sex at all, well, then you're not going to have unplanned pregnancies. But the problem is that that's unrealistic because people are going to have sex.  And so just because you are miserable and you're not getting sex, just because this virgin over here isn't getting laid, doesn't mean that that is representative of the rest of the public. It's just extremely unrealistic. Like, this is all them just... It's about vibes, right? Like, they don't have any core political beliefs. They don't base what they believe will be optimal outcomes on empirical reality. It's just all, well, I feel things should be this way, or in my opinion, things should be this way. So it should be that way. When it doesn't work that way. By the way, folks, if you haven't already, I think this goes without saying, subscribe to Walter Masterson. If you haven't, what are you doing with your life? Some of the best content ever. He makes videos constantly where he trolls the right. And, you know, the trolling isn't always necessarily malicious. Sometimes he'll just ask questions that gets them to inadvertently unveil how bizarre their worldview really is, or how backwards their worldview really is. So I can't recommend it enough. Go and subscribe to Walter Masterson. Res knows it. His content is gold. Yeah, can't endorse him enough. Tell him that the Humanist Report sends you folks.


Welcome readers to another technical chart here with me, Patrick Munley. Just want to follow on from your dollar analysis. We're on the daily timeframe yesterday looking at such a resistance zone that we're trading in at the moment. I'm now looking, getting a bit more granular, we're on the hourly timeframe. And what I'm looking for now, as we hold 11949 as support for an extension higher into the range resistance, 120 projected ascending trendline resistance, there are traversal conditions targeting the ascending trendline support. We'll go through there and look for a test of the 1820. There's a lot of, regarding a big one that will no touch option. So likely proven magnet will run the stops just above there. That's the setup here for the vessel pattern to displan the trade, trade the risk. Until next time, thanks very much.


is TFNN, The Tiger, Financial News Network. Good morning, everyone. Basel Chapman on this Tuesday, the 14th of November, and we're looking at a huge move to the upside. I guess the inflation rates were very low, which is what the market wanted to see. What we're looking at is the Dow's up 468 and 34,807. I drawn in this cup formation with a Chapman Wave inside wedge target to tomorrow to try to get to the 34,700s. And here it is, with a high of 34,807, trading at 34,802 already, and it's only a leg B. This is a very strong market. Look at the S&P. What I do like is finally seeing a broadening out, and that is really important. You've got the S&P up 80 at 44.90. The left side high that I would be looking at is in the 44, right here. The high that was made back in, wow, going all the way back to September at 45,41. We'll see if that's gonna be hit in this particular move now. We're looking at the QQQ, QQQ is trading up. It's almost at an all-time high. Three, the high today so far is 385,28. All-time high is 408. Isn't that incredible? I used to have my falling exformation in the weekly chart and the daily chart, breaking out to the upside. Now, this to me is absolutely imperative to see. The IWM is up huge. It's up almost 4%, up 6.55 at 176. This is really important because I need to see a broadening out to be able to say this market is starting to include, and I wouldn't be surprised if over the next a few days, we start to see the Magnificent Seven actually moving higher, but not in the same percentage as the stocks that were really weak and that are now finally coming on strong. We've been talking about that for a little while and let's go to gold, gold should be moving up and it is up 22, that's a big move. That's very important because now it's above the 200-period moving average. It needed to get there and hold, it needs to get to the 1980s and that would be very good. You've got bonds, a really big move up in bonds today. Up two and 7.30 seconds. This is in leg D in the Dady chart and therefore the TBTs, the opposite is coming down. I'll be back in a moment for the Tiger Technician's Hour where it's proved all as I'm coming out of this, proved all is up a little bit. I'll be back for the Tiger Technician's Hour. Basel Chapman, standby, we'll be back. Hope you guys are doing well.


Today we're gonna be focusing on basic layering. So a lot of people end up with layering in their hair that looks choppy and there's a reason for that. It has a lot to do with head shape and how your elevation is throughout that haircut. So then that way your lengths change throughout the haircut, which can create steps and make it look like you have choppy layers. So we're gonna work on those seamless layers today. That's why I wanted to do basic layering first. The way that we break down sectioning is to really focus on the head shape. So we've got some different aspects of the head. We've got the parietal ridge, which is this kind of curve right here that you see on the head. We've got our parietal ridge, that comes back. You think of it as kind of a horseshoe shape, right? So you have the parietal ridge that comes along here. Then when we get back here, we're gonna consider this the crown of the head. We've got high crown, mid crown and low crown. That's how we're gonna break that down. Then you've also got your occipital bone, which is underneath low crown, so back here. Then you've got the nape of the neck and the very back. We're gonna section this off, first splitting it down the center. So we'll go straight back with the hair, like that. That is the first parting. Now, if your client has parts on the side, you could still do the center parting. Just understand that as you go to cut the top, you need to kind of be aware of how that hair is gonna lay and fall. So most people are looking to see a center parting at this point. I'm gonna work this through. Now I've got the center part down and I'm gonna work back to this hairline. So what I'll do here is I'm gonna split from high crown down to just behind the ear and where that hairline is. So the line from the hairline here all the way up to that crown. This is all the same density. You see how all the way across here, all the way through the back, this is all the same thickness. Density means thickness, right? Then everything from this point forward is the same density there. So I separate those two things so that when I'm working in the back, I know I'm working in the back, I know I'm working with the same density. When I move to the front, I know I'm working in the front and I'm working with the same density. So I'm just keeping it simple and working through that way. When I go to cut the top, I will separate a little bit more of a Mohawk section, but this back portion in the head is kind of connected to the back. And I think a lot of times when we do that Mohawk section, you get this larger rectangle on the top of the head and then that starts to kind of blend in and we cut the top and the front the same as we cut the back. And if the back is a different density that we're working with and that hair is gonna fall to the back, then why would I connect it into the front? So it's just different ways of looking at it. Doesn't mean that a Mohawk section is wrong, it's just changes my way of going, like attacking it, I guess you would say. Now the back of the head is where I'm gonna start. So what I learned in school a long, long time ago was to kind of go through and cut my baseline first, pick my length and then layer from that point. What I like to do is go from the interior and pick my length on the layer itself as opposed to connecting it all together this way. Then I can always go in at the end and cut my length. So we're gonna work through the top of the section. So I'm gonna start here, take my first vertical section through, then I'm going to work pie shaped sections from that point over. I don't care about underneath the occipital bone, right? So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna work my way out, create the line that I want, and then I'll decide how far or how deep I wanna go into that cut. And then I'll cut my baseline at the end and then you guys will see how that works, right? So we're gonna go through here, again vertical section. Obviously this is more hair than past my second knuckle, but I'll show you guys how we're going to attack that. Now I'm focused on the tip of my finger right here because that is the point in the head shape that I'm looking to control right now. So I'm going to lift that up and cut into it that way. This is where I can decide how long do I want these layers to be. So right here, I'm looking at this.  You could go even a little bit higher if you want to, err on the side of caution. Is that what they say? No, yeah. So we go straight up and now I just decide where do I want those layers to hit? I'm visualizing how they fall. When I come through and I start to cut, cut to that first knuckle, then I re-comb. Now look, the head shape's moving away. So if I continue this line, I get a very collapsed look because this is being elevated even more than the front. This is at about 90 degrees. This is maybe at 130 degrees, right? Almost at this point at the very bottom, 180 degrees. So, and what does that mean? 180 degrees is kind of the max where we go with elevation, right? Straight up from the head. So I can then slide my elevation down to continue working that 90 degrees off the head. So we're at this point. And then I could continue working or I can decide maybe they have a little denser hair and I want to remove a little extra, keep a little length towards the base. And that's it. And not cut it so short. So now I'm gonna pivot. If I go from here, I just took this vertical section and now I'm gonna pivot and go here. The rule here is to take mostly previously cut hair, so our old hair or a guide and bring it over to the new section. That'll give me the most solid line to look through in the haircut. So look here. Now I wanna take the guide and push it over to the new section, okay? So pushing away from my body, not pulling. If I pull, then I pull the new section of the guide and then each cut that I'm doing gets the new section longer and longer towards the side. I want it to stay the same, stay uniform. So I push the guide over to the new section about halfway, they're gonna meet. And I come in here and I cut. Yeah, now we're gonna pivot to the next one. Oh, we've now layered the left-hand side of the head. Basic layering, basic concept, thinking about creating seamless weight, like a seamless feel to the layering. No steps, that's how we work. And now I'm going to be pulling because I'm pulling that guideline over to the new section. Everything back, start cutting my line. Just cut a nice blunt line, which gives me the look, the appearance of a healthy haircut, which I think is always good. And it also gets a little bit, some of the density into the hair. So last little bit, the front is, to me, always kind of a separate cut. So saturate this a little bit. Today I'm gonna keep it simple because we're doing basic layering. So we'll just do a basic little face frame. What I'm gonna do is focus on keeping a lower elevation, keeping a little bit extra weight. The higher I lift the hair, the more layering happens and the more weight we remove. I don't really need to do that. So I'm gonna go in here and I'm gonna work just diagonal back, bringing everything to about this point here and cutting my line. Elevation changes everything.  If I keep it low, I do a little bit more of a graduation around the face. I could do some slide cutting here, slide through it. I can cut blunt lines if I want it to look a little cleaner. I could do some point cutting. There's multiple options. Today I'm gonna do a blunt line and notice that my finger angle is not quite parallel with the parting. It's a little bit kicked out. What that's gonna do is give me a little extra length towards the inside of my hand. I just wanna push a little extra length to the side there. So you keep bringing hair forward until you run out of hair to cut. Depending on how many layers they have, that could happen sooner. It's a very practical haircut. Nothing crazy. Too fancy about it. Just basic layers. You can see a little bit of face framing. Now we're gonna do the same thing on the other side. This is the beauty of cutting the length at the end because I already cut the back length. I haven't cut the front length yet, but I will connect that to the back. I choose the rest of this length based on where I want it to hit on the face.  So when I hold the hair out and I go to cut it, I visualize where that top piece is then going to hit and that's where I cut it. So the last thing I have to do is now connect the two sides lengths. Now, if you had shoulders, I'd just lift it out just a little bit. Do the same thing over here. This is why it's so good to separate at the hairline as well because you get a really nice firm cutoff where that length needs to be connected. And once I get done blow drying, we're gonna do a little texturizing in there. The quick slip speeds up your drying time, adds a really nice soft texture to the hair. All right, so it's pretty dry. So what I wanna do is section with the clip, separate top and bottom. Next, Paul Mitchell product is hot off the press, helps keep the hair healthy but also has a really good hold as well. So with the round brush, I'm gonna work through the hair and I'm going to start drying the hair at the elevation that I want. So how high, how low. If it's high, you get more volume. If it's low, you get a sleeker, smoother look. So I'm gonna give it a good amount of volume as I'm working through it like this.  I wanna open up the face a little bit. So by blow drying this forward, it's gonna give me maximum volume when I kick it back to the back. Got the volume in there and now I let it go back. We get that flip. And I just kind of scrunch what the volume happened. Then you can kind of work this hair back and then just kind of get your hands in it, start throwing it forward and see those layers pop.
