The young man in question is 22-year-old Ben Brody, who became the target of right-wing conspiracy theorists after he was mistaken for a neo-Nazi that they thought was a fed, and Elon Musk amplified those conspiracy theories about this young man. In July, Vice News reported, it was halfway through the daughter's game he was attending with his mother when Ben Brody realized some of the worst people on the internet believed he was a federal agent pretending to be a neo-Nazi 800 miles away. Earlier in the day, Brody, a 22-year-old recent political science grad from UC Riverside, had noticed people commenting on his Instagram account and calling him a fed, but he thought it was just trivial and would blow over. But while at the June 25th game, which saw the Houston Astros beat the Dodgers, his phone kept going off until he and his mother realized something horrible was underway. Before they left the game, their home address would be leaked online. By the time they got home, they decided they couldn't stay there that night. So the question is, what the hell was going on? They're at a game trying to enjoy themselves. When his phone is blowing up, you have people accusing him of being a fed, and all of a sudden, he can't even return home because the harassment got that bad. What happened? Well, here's what happened. As HuffPost explains, on June 24th, members of the Portland Proud Boys went to Oregon City's first-ever Pride Night Fest to disrupt the event and spew anti-LGBTQ-plus rhetoric. Along for the homophobic protest were members of the Rose City Nationalists, a neo-Nazi group that had recently been involved in an online dispute with members of the local Proud Boys chapter, Vice News reported at the time. The protest quickly devolved into violence with members of the Proud Boys striking RCN members with American flagpoles and telling them to be gone, bitch. One still unidentified member of RCN is seen on video being propped up by his fellow neo-Nazis after he had been bowled over by the Proud Boys. Moments later, his mask is ripped off, revealing his face.  Now, I can't play the video for you since it depicts violence and that'd be against YouTube's terms of service. But this moment on screen right now where this Nazi was unmasked is crucial because people on Twitter quickly tried to identify this guy who, again, they believed was a federal agent who infiltrated the Nazi group to cause chaos and make all of them look bad as if they weren't already making themselves look bad by being Nazis. But regardless, rather than identifying that actual person, somebody online found Ben Brody's information instead and falsely claimed that it was him. A claim that was then amplified by Elon Musk. For example, this is a screenshot circulated online where Ben Brody says that he is a poli-sign major at UCR and plans to work for the government after he graduates. So I mean, I guess since he looks like the guy in question and expressed his interest in working for the government, they took this as confirmation that he was indeed a fed. Now, the irony is that this photo of Brody is actually a picture from his Jewish fraternity.  But Elon Musk responded to that post saying, always remove their masks.  But in actuality, they just dug up the social media profile of an innocent 22-year-old. Now Ben Brody tried his best to tell them that this isn't actually him because he was getting harassment. And once that started to gain traction, thanks to Elon, he even gave them evidence. He shared debit card receipts showing that he was in California on the day that the fight occurred in Oregon. And on top of that, he posted a video of himself to Instagram explaining, hey guys, that's not me. I understand that there's a bit of a similarity in the way that we look, but I am a different person. That's not me. I'm getting harassment. Please stop. Hey, what's up guys? My name is Ben Brody. I wanted to address the false accusations against me. I wanted to first off say that I am not a part of the patriotic front as a member and that people who are claiming I am, I'm being confused with someone who looks similar to me. And I've never been to Oregon City for any protest whatsoever. Recently I've just been so busy in terms of graduation from UC Riverside and stuff like that. I've been in Riverside only. This is just crazy to me. And I graduated on June 21st and I've just been hanging out with my friends. And then all these accusations are kind of just crazy and incorrect. And my family and I are just being harassed completely. And I would be more than happy to clear up any confusion if necessary.  And I really just can't believe this is happening to me right now, guys. Now, that video was posted on the same day that Elon Musk amplified conspiracies about Brody being the Nazi. So how did Elon Musk respond once Brody came out and said, you've got the wrong guy and provided evidence showing that he's not that person? Well, Elon Musk did the same thing. In response to a now-deleted tweet by Zero Hedge, Elon Musk referenced Brody again saying, looks like one is a college student who wants to join the government. And another is maybe an Antifa member, but nonetheless, a probable false flag situation. And then he added community nodes, presumably for additional context about this individual who he thought was identified by the right online. But therein lies the problem. There was already no evidence that Brody was that individual in the video, even if they looked the same. But after Brody already came out and identified himself as Ben Brody and not that Nazi, well, Musk continued to tweet about him. And to make matters worse for Elon Musk, he wasn't ignorant or at least there was an opportunity for him to inform himself because multiple users warned him that he's got the wrong guy. Ben Brody is not that Nazi. And his tweets about him are causing harassment. And you're seeing a couple of examples provided by HuffPost. But Elon Musk never corrected the record. And to make matters worse, those tweets are still up till this day. So Elon Musk ruined a kid's life with a couple of tweets, a couple of reckless tweets. And now what? Well, he's being sued for defamation and Brody is seeking over one million dollars in damages. And his attorney is Mark Bankston. Now, we'll get to Mark Bankston in a moment, but he made a lengthy Twitter thread about this and he's going to take us through the timeline in painstaking detail to show us just how damaging this was and how reckless Elon Musk's behavior was. He writes the lawsuit alleges that on June 27th and yet another example of his growing tendency to spread false information, Musk falsely told the world there was evidence indicating Ben Brody participated in a violent street brawl on behalf of a neo-Nazi extremist group. On June 25th, a Dogecoin-themed Twitter user showed Musk a tweet from an anonymous right-wing extremist griper account making the accusation against Ben Brody, which included screenshots of the fraternity social media post stating Ben planned to work for the government. Musk responded by stating very odd. While not yet defamation, this was already pretty bad. Musk was amplifying unvetted slander against an innocent young man being disseminated by an anonymous extremist troll and an anonymous cryptocurrency fan. As detailed in Ben's lawsuit, numerous Twitter users began immediately informing Musk that Ben was innocent. Yet early the next morning on June 26th, Musk also responded to Twitter user Matt Wallace, a cryptocurrency YouTuber who frequently vies from Musk's attention after Wallace tweeted the same screenshots noting that Ben planned to work for the government. That same morning, Ben made an Instagram video trying to dispel the accusations. He also posted screenshots of debit card payments in Riverside. He even went as far as to request video footage from a restaurant he visited at the time of the brawl, which he also posted. Throughout the day, Twitter users continued to inform Musk that Ben Brody was innocent and many of them provided a link to Ben's Instagram video, but it was to no avail. The following day on June 27th, Musk threw the full weight of his celebrity behind the accusations and defamed Ben. He did it in a response to a tweet from anonymous blog, ZeroHedge. In this case, ZeroHedge's tweet on June 27th stated, "'Patriot front white supremacist unmasked as suspected fed.'" Musk responded to the ZeroHedge tweet and he declared to the world, "'Looks like one is a college student who wants to join the government and another is maybe an Antifa member but nonetheless a probable false flag situation.'" Now some of those details were redundant but I think that the timeline is really important. It's important to know when Musk made these tweets and when the information was out there that would have allowed him to educate himself and correct the record in an attempt to mitigate the damage. Now the actual thread by Mark Bangston is much more detailed so I'm gonna link to that down below if anyone wants to read it, but this is very, very serious and you might be thinking still it's Elon Musk. He's the richest man in the world, therefore he's gonna have access to the best attorneys in the world, right? And that may be true, but allow me to let you know who Mark Bangston is. Mark Bangston is the attorney who represented Sandy Hook families and their defamation lawsuit against Alex Jones and not only did he win, he gave us this viral moment where Alex Jones knew he was screwed. So you did get my text messages and then you said you didn't. Nice trick. Yes, Mr. Jones. Indeed. You didn't give this text message to me. You don't know where this came from. Do you know where I got this? No. Mr. Jones, did you know that 12 days ago, 12 days ago, your attorney's messed up and sent me an entire digital copy of your entire cell phone with every text message you've sent for the past two years and when informed, did not take any steps to identify it as privileged or protected in any way. And as of two days ago, it fell free and clear into my possession. And that is how I know you lied to me when you said you didn't have text message about Sandy Hook. Did you know that? I see, I told you the truth. This is your Perry Mason moment. I gave them my phone and it- Mr. Jones, you need to answer the question. No, I- Did you know this happened? No, I didn't know this happened. But I mean, I told you, I gave them the phone over and just said no. Just answer the question.  You said you pulled down the text, did the search function for Sandy Hook? That's what you said, Mr. Jones, correct? And I had several different phones with this number, but I did, yeah, of course. I mean, that's why you got it. No, Mr. Jones, that's not what I have. My lawyer's sending it to you, but I'm hiding it. Okay. Mr. Jones? Mr. Jones, that's- You just answered questions. There's no question. Mr. Benson also only asked questions. Sure. Mr. Jones, in discovery, you were asked, do you have Sandy Hook text messages on your phone? And you said no, correct? You said that under oath, because you got it, didn't you? I mean, I was mistaken, I was mistaken, but you got the messages right there. You know what Perker is, right? I just want to make sure you know before we go any further. You know what it is. Now, if you couldn't make out what he was saying at the end there, he was asking Alex Jones if he knows what Perker is since Alex Jones was caught dead to rights, yet still lying. That was absolutely incredible, one of my favorite clips of last year. And I just want you for a second to imagine Elon Musk in that same predicament getting grilled by Mark Bankston. It's a wonderful thought, isn't it? I, for one, am very excited about the prospect of watching that. Sometimes, you know, powerful people do get held accountable, and it doesn't happen a lot, but sometimes it does happen. And when it happens, you really love to see it. Now, whether or not that's going to be the case here with Elon Musk and Ben Brody, we'll have to wait and see because defamation lawsuits are notoriously difficult to prove in the court of law. Having said that, though, if anyone is going to be able to do it, if anyone is going to be able to hold Elon Musk accountable, I'm going to place my bets on Mark Bankston. Not only is he a phenomenal attorney, but he is a very progressive guy who just genuinely seems to care about justice. And what happened to Brody is awful. It's a great injustice, and Elon Musk needs to right this wrong. Now, whether or not this goes to trial is a different story. Perhaps Elon Musk will be inclined to settle. I'm not really sure. We'll just have to wait and see, but I'm even more excited about the prospect of Elon Musk facing accountability, especially after shenanigans that occurred this weekend.  As Alejandro Cabello points out, I don't think there's a better picture that encapsulates the pure evil of our system where the world's richest man can live out his midlife crisis playing a fake cowboy in front of desperate and impoverished immigrants, while broadcasting it to the world to incite hatred. That's exactly what he's trying to do. In the same way that he incited hate against Ben Brody, he's now trying to do that against immigrants. He's not done terrorizing innocent people because he's taking pictures of them specifically to demonize them and perpetuate the myth that America is being invaded by migrants when in actuality, these are human beings who are desperate and they're looking for a new life. They're looking for a new home after our country's policies destroyed their homes, destroyed their countries.  This man has enough money to feed and house all of them for the rest of their lives. But what is he doing instead?  It's despicable. So even though a successful defamation suit against him isn't even gonna put a dent in his wealth. I mean, again, Brody is asking for over a million dollars. That's nothing to Elon Musk. That's like 10 cents to you and I. Just the mere possibility of Mark Bankston humiliating him on the stand is exciting enough for me.  He deserves the treatment that Alex Jones got because he is a terrible person and what he's doing is not okay. And he's going to continue to tweet recklessly and endanger other people's lives unless he learns that there's a cost for this type of misinformation that he's spreading.

Good morning, everyone. It's 8 o'clock on Wednesday the 15th of November and welcome to another breakfast hour. Let's quickly do that disclaimer.

Trading futures, equities and digital currencies involve substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of a future results. Hey, Marius. Good morning. And yeah, as I flick off that disclaimer, we can see that you know, we're right at the day's highs, we're at the week's highs. The market has been very gung-ho since yesterday, effectively. The market has in its own, for its own reasons, decided that yesterday's inflation results mean nirvana that will have millions of rate cuts, etc, etc. But our job is not to question whether the market is right or wrong or sane or anything like that. It is to observe what the market is currently doing and get high probability setups out of it with multiple R returns possible. Anyway, let's let's hope that everybody's having a very, very good week and let us do some context. So let's just switch over to the slideshow. Right. Actually, I want to go back one slide. Okay. So looking ahead to today's breakfast session, we've got Ad830 core PPI and retail sales. They're both high importance categories. So we're expecting some volatility. As I said in the Discord forum, I'd be surprised to see whether it's quite as volatile as the CPI numbers in terms of the subsequent action on ES and NQ right at 830, but you never know. So let us have a look across at what has been going on. So that down channel or the down trend in ES has clearly been broken. We are motoring up to a couple of swing highs over here. And we are actually approaching yet another round number 4550. And if we switch across to NQ, it's even stronger. Not only has it broken that down trend on the daily, it's also taken out the previous swing high and the previous swing high before that. And it is still looking bullish and it is motoring towards another big round number as well. 16,000. And if you're looking at your charts now, you know we're almost there within about seven or eight points. Quick look across at the 10 minute in the ETH, the shaded session. If you've been watching this for the last few days, you'll note that we've not even been getting down to yesterday's mid, even after very, very big RTH sessions. So it has been incredibly bullish in ETH, even if you have some chop and some down movement in Asia, it hasn't even been able to take us below yesterday's mid. That shows how strong it's been. And again, you can see NQ, it's basically held yesterday's globe X high and is way, way above that and very close to that 16,000. Right, okay. As always, feel free to ask any questions either in Discord or on the YouTube channel. We're going to do some live commentary today and we're going to observe what happens when those two numbers are released at 830. The expectation of there is any expectation. And remember, we do not predict the future. We cannot predict the future. But at the moment, it is very bullish. And with two round numbers just above us, that would be the expectation if there is any that we will at least get there or if not, get very, very close to the 16,000 in NQ and the 4550 in ES. These futures markets do have an absolute love of round numbers. So once we get close, they seem to sniff it out and get us there. And if we have a look across at the book map, heat map, and we zoom out and we see what's above, should we react bullishly to that news at 830, we've got a nice resting liquidity in NQ that's been there certainly since before the European session, that's at 16,018. And the fact that it's above that round number is always a good sign if you're looking for long as that not only could we take out the 16,000, but we could then approach the next magnetic resting liquidity above. And in ES, we've got a great big resting liquidity. Again, if we zoom out the whole day, 647 on the unfiltered heat map, I've got trade map pro operating on NQ on the left. I will quickly flick across to the trade map pro on ES. And I'm going to go through that, you can see one of my tabs there is really the book map page on trade map pro. And that's my one thing I wanted to talk about today. If we have some time before these 830 releases, is to talk about my current experiences with trade map pro, why it might be interesting for other people to try it out as well, especially on thinner markets that I'm finding at the moment. Okay, let's just zoom back out and have a quick look. So what I tend to do, sorry, let me do this contrast as well for NQ and I've got it with a keyboard shortcut I mustn't forget. It's not too bad on the unfiltered map. You can see these algo bands above and below, below and above, but the actual resting liquidity is quite clear although that 16.017 isn't as clear as it might be. Certainly the liquidity at 15.995 is quite clear. I'm just finding that if you do zoom out in NQ with the trade map pro filter on, and again I will explain exactly what that is in a second, it has been provided quite a bit of utility so you can see here a little bit earlier just about an hour ago. We tagged or almost tagged that liquidity up at 15.990 and then came back to the liquidity at 15.966 and that's been the case earlier on as well. You can see right there if I zoom right out and then on the approach back down after we hit the high earlier after the London Open and we had some lovely liquidity that it attracted down and right at the bottom of that resting liquidity is really where it reversed back again. I will actually just have an explanation right now of what the trade map pro is and why I've been so interested in it. If you go to the book map knowledge base and you look at the book map add-on section and trade map pro you can go through all the details of what exactly this add-on is and what you can do with it. I'm not going to read that line by line in this webinar I'll leave that to you in your own good time and I'll actually just close that tab. What I have found that it does and let's just go on to the settings that I have for NQ which is the one that's causing me the most interest is that essentially this creates a copy of the heat map that you see and you can apply some filters to it. You can still have your levels coming from Sierra or wherever else your cloud levels appear in the columns on your filtered version and you can name it whatever you want but the filter that I've been applying on NQ and I've tested quite a few but it's a very very very basic filter so if I just go up to the NQ one that's the ES one so we'll ignore that for the time being this is the NQ filter show only orders that were not changed by price or size so I've got no size filter here I've simply got what I would call a static filter so this is just showing me orders that are basically being placed in the order book on the heat map and have not been touched either they haven't been increased or decreased by size and they have not been moved up or down by price level and I'm finding that to be of quite a lot of interest in terms of being able to better see where the magnetism if there is any in NQ has been in ETH. I won't comment on how it plays out in RTH but my focus so far has been on ETH and it's done a couple of things for me I mean firstly it's got rid of those dreadful algo bands which by their very nature they're constantly moving the price of which the size is at so that they are they are filtered out straight away and the other thing is it's showing where you know if we zoom right out horizontally where these resting liquidity levels have been placed for the entirety of the ETH session you know the entirety or the near entire entire entities who've got those right at the beginning of the Asian session and you've got some that were before the beginning of the European session so that I'm finding it is quite useful especially in a thinner market where price does chop around and zip through levels and I posted in the Discord channel a couple of screenshots I've done just directly comparing what you can see in this versus the unfiltered so the unfiltered the moment is looking okay where we are right this second because of this big fat resting liquidity at 15995 but that has not been the case regularly in the last week or so so that's just one other one thing and on ES I'm experimenting there's a few different things and I haven't really formed a solid conclusion yet on the best way to actually use it in ES and whether it's going to have any distinct advantage when we go into RTH or not but I've messed around with a few of the filters if I go in here the moment I'm just looking for the big orders and it's exactly the same as my NQ filter which is the orders haven't been touched by way of price or size but I'm just filtering them out to have just the large orders from 22,000 assuming a thousand should cap off the largest order I'm also looking at some of the esoteric filters they've got there where they can they can aggregate or they can show a different kind of heat map based on for example the number of orders that are sitting at a particular level so it's early days and since my focus really and there's been a lot to trade in ETH my focus really has been trading more in NQ I'd say about three quarters of my trades in ETH in the last week well once we've been in this incredibly bullish phase of being in NQ and so I haven't really nutted out yet what I'd say were the best filters for ES but yeah it's quite interesting certainly I mean even at a first glance of how it looks in comparison to the regular heat map is interesting so yeah let's have a look on that one in the next few weeks to see whether I can distill or discern some particular edges that occur in ETH that I can pass on or whether it's really something that I just stick with in NQ where on those that resting magnetism is particularly applicable I mean you can see here in just get that back you can see here right this second just the clarity you get where you break through this liquidity here at 90 and you clock straight up to the liquidity at 95 it's really really quite clear in the fact that they increase the pressure just above that 16 000 to help you know you can see that when I say increase the pressure I mean they're doubling the the bands of the of the resistance wall there and there I mean I can always dig out the pen so I'm just saying there and there applying the pressure and you can see what happens when they do that price goes down and then price goes down again it's easier for them to do that in a thinner market like NQ but there are two sides there are two sides to that coin because it does apply temporary pressure down but the fact that you have this resting liquidity means it retains its magnetic effect once they've got a little bit more fuel to then go back up again so if I then zoom right out and we have a look at the kind of fuel they've got I've split the volume profile just it's really for my own trading purposes just so I can see the level of sellers because I'm seeing that as fuel to go up and I like these tails I keep pointing out there's not a great tail there but I can just drag it out so you can see what they did there was a tail there so if you draw that in there oops that is pretty what I'm looking at when I'm looking for these pullbacks on those columns in NQ in book that right so let's keep paying attention to what is going on and I am just having a look across to see who we've got in the rooms both in the discord and the youtube room also aware that we have got a time check of 15 minutes before that news so what I'm going to regularly do in the next few minutes is just do a vertical zoom up above and below because we can't predict so it can equally if there is some news that is not expected go down and tag something below so it is always always worth having a little look at what is going on below so if we can see roughly what's also been happening let me just draw a little box here so you can see this little range that's occurring here as well something that I've said before you know when you have a big up move then you have a range like that the probability remains that it keeps going up you know there'll be a continuation after they finish this pause so this is a pause for both breath and to gather fuel if they can to then give us an impetus to go even higher but again if the news is not what they expected who knows we can always go down and just having a look across as well at this liquidity that they've pulled at 4518 so I'm just going to have a look to see if there's anything else that's been pulled below I mean you're always going to have large liquidity levels below even on trend updates I think I've commented on them just before we've had a trend update and I think I've commented you know there's always potential for a trend update and sometimes you know you can get bamboozled by looking below when the market just wants to go up because even though you know you might have a big fat level here is 192 at 4480 does not mean that the market has to go anywhere near it what we're more interested in is the price action and the structure of the heat map roughly around where we are and also you know as we go to these round numbers and where SPX has some round numbers for some of them their major options levels with a lot of open interest and gamma etc okay so I think yeah we're right on the high again in NQ so we're just about to get maybe a little breakout to go and tag this liquidity they've tried if we go and zoom out we've got a high there just taking it out but that's effectively a reverse spring or upthrust and then back down again to the bottom of this range so effectively there was a range that had been formed across there I've drawn it pretty badly but basically around there and at the moment we're just top ticking we're just going we're just doing these reverse springs and going from edge to edge of this range so mean reversion type trades are currently in play but this being such an obvious round number and with such a major piece of news coming out or two major pieces of news coming out soon even if we end up going down I would not be surprised if we did not tag this area first again I would not be surprised if we don't just keep going up yeah one thing that you know if you've spent a long time trading NQ or ES or any market really is that markets can be exuberant or irrational far longer than your account balance can stay liquid so you know when they are in this irrational type behavior you know where you know they might have gone up two and a half percent yesterday they may have gone up and x percent in in the last week and fell it's let's kind of have a quick look at how much they have gone up so if we just go into the monthly yeah I mean if you just have a look example over the last month Amazon's up 10% Microsoft 11 Apple up three and a bit they can keep going up is what I'm trying to say so if you are going to fade the knife you know or you're going to try and catch a reverse knife what I always recommend is that or I'm allowed to recommend what I suggest when I'm trading myself is that you do have a stop in place because if you think it's going to go down and you take a short then it keeps going up another hundred hundred and fifty points or two hundred like now as I did at the CPI release yesterday yeah your brokerage account is going to suffer very very badly and one of the other things I mean I can quickly mention while we're just watching this I've spent quite a bit more time just programming this week and what I really like to focus on when I'm programming is not creating indicators or anything it's automating some parts of my process so I think I showed you last week you know a basic price expansion tool in Sierra where you could see if you if you place your your your risk stop point here let me just draw one basically I showed you that which is stop entry R1 R2 etc very bad handwriting with a mouse and I must dig out my tablet I am automating that more and more so that I'm drawing these things less and knowing from the tools that I've built exactly you know where is a good spot to get me to to R so you know this is on the basis of how I trade which is I have equal size bets with every single trade I take that doesn't stop me pyramiding in just means that I take the the same risk dollar value with each and every bet even ones where you know it may appear that it's going to go to the moon I'm always happy to add in that scenario but what I'm trying to do there is when you've got these really volatile markets and NQ is a perfect example of a very volatile market is to speed up the and automate and objectify as much as possible the process that tells me that if my risk is here if I'm entering at this price right at this micro second where is where is the first R on the second R in relation to this price and where my desired stop is so you know those are the things that I'm focusing on what you won't hear me talk about in any of these webinars are lots and lots of indicators I think the only ones that I've mentioned are the the market pulse which is is interesting in its own way a lot of that for me is because they're opening up the API so that if there are things that you can see in this such as volume pressure and bounce or how you perceive the heat map and how you see these turns happen you can you know you can have an oscillator or whatever that reflects you know reflects how you see the turns there and to that extent I yeah I will occasionally talk about that market pulse but that that's really you know my my main interest in how you use that in relation to book map it's you know to do that in conjunction with this liquidity that we see in the heat map all right another time check and I will turn on the news feeder in a few minutes so as I said every few minutes we are just checking to see that there is no real change to the heat map so when we zoom out vertically you can see that this liquidity barrier is getting quite thick but we're right there and the fact that we're on the third approach of this means to me that it's becoming less and less likely it's the old game of you know you bang off a wall you bang off a wall you bang off a wall and your wall is full of bricks uh and this is like a wall with bricks and the third or fourth or fifth time you you hit that wall one of these bricks will go and price will go through you know it is it is as simple as that and you know people will tell you about indicators that would magically tell you when it's going to occur I think you know bravo if they do but I've never come across such a thing and I have coded many many many indicators okay so again we are in this I'll just leave that drawn there so we can see that trading range that we're in and on yes you know we are in a wide range that's also been there for quite some time now one of the things that people like to do as well is measure these ranges so if you've got a height of a range which once we do eventually break out then a lot of people that have a thesis or objective that if that is x that will be x and that we may actually go 1x or 2x and that is one of the theses and you can see that right on a heat map in book map you know you can use the you know the rectangle tool that's in book map to draw these to place these range upon range upon ranges to give you an idea of where they may go and then work out where the liquidity is in relation to if we do get 100% expansion etc so we're getting very very very close to this magic 16000 that we've been talking about so now we have touched 9925 so we're as good as there so basically bang we've taken it out so and again I said the fact that we have this liquidity up above I look at liquidity that is preferably over 30 and that's up at 16.020 and there is some liquidity at 16.010 that is bullish for going beyond that round number and what we also haven't seen is anything climactic or a really really big trade yet and the news is still coming out and I'm now going to switch on the news feed so some of you may be able to hear this in YouTube maybe in discord seems to vary by the webinar but I am actually playing the financial juice feed and I can certainly hear it as well so we're down to three and a half minutes so one of the things we're looking at here as well is what traded at the very very top here and then we can see there's only one contract traded so splitting this up between buyers and sellers sometimes helps me see how how how the separate parties were interested at these turning points so for example I had a large number of sellers in an unfinished auction at this top that would give me greater cause for a probability theory that we would take it out in other words there's two different ways looking at it you know if it's an unfinished auction which is buyers and sellers both transacting at that extreme price level you can look at it at the total volume traded that's one perspective and the other one is to look at them separately buyers and sellers and see which see the unlikely one so it's sellers at the top and buyers at the bottom transacting and see what that volume was like and that can give you different probability values in terms of it being retested or taken out the other thing we're looking at as well so we talked about the broader range and one of the things that that I do look at all the time these micro structures and this is particularly the case in NQ when it's going up and you're not wanting to fade that reverse knife or catch the reverse knife yeah so if you had these little micro swing lows and they could not take out the previous micro swing low by more than one or two ticks that to me is exploring up you know so I'm looking both at these the swing peaks the swing highs but more importantly I'm looking at these little swing lows on this journey up so when it is exploring up you often get this retag of the last swing low and it may even take it out by one or two you know bottom taking it by one or two but it doesn't properly flush it out much and in that case it's often still exploring again there are no hard and fast rules some of this is nuance every time again time check it is 8 28 and 45 seconds so we're coming right up to that news you can see over in ES all the liquidity has been removed so we'll have a look across at the unfiltered as well sorry the filtered trading app because this is this is interesting here because they've all been removed and they should have they should have been clarified so that 547 order up at 4545 is still in place so that is one potential target should we have a good market reaction or positive market reaction to the news that's about to be released just going to turn up the feed so I've just turned up the volume for financial juice and I read that they are my friends Amar and his team lovely people so they're completely cleared out the book 17 seconds to go expecting a decent pop in either direction 10 seconds and it's bullish so we're approaching that 4545 level we haven't quite taken yet but doesn't mean we won't get there and again it's interesting to see where I'll just turn off the financial juice feed interesting let me just mark the mark roughly the scene of the crime roughly there when we were looking at the CPI yesterday when I was looking at the CPI yesterday there it didn't come back anywhere near to the scene of the crime so it's interesting here on on the retail sales PPI that we did come back and tag it so it's not quite as bullish reaction and so far we're not really getting away from the scene of the crime so it looks like we're going to go through it to the other side let's see if we go properly or we just bottom digging it so it's quite a contrast between this action yesterday's action so a nice climactic little pop on the news and then the fact that it's crossed that scene of the crime level so early is currently a little bit bearish it's going to get back up there now so let's just see what it does once it approaches maybe they're just chopping around let's zoom out again and remind ourselves where that liquidity below is and the one that's really resting is this 4494 level so we're back at the scene of the crime we have a little iceberg which we're going to kind of ignore and we will have a look across at yeah so it is a little bit bearish there's that 15945 level just down here where's my pen so that is intriguing again that hasn't stayed roughly in the right place so maybe I should get rid of that we can always mark it just add a level down there so the problem with that is that it's obscured the the liquidity so I might ditch it so we've got this nice liquidity that's coming right down to and the first on the first approach it tends to bounce we're watching how strong this bounce is to see whether we're going to then take it out maybe if I was trading any of these markets right now I would actually be trading the ES I think I've said that before as well that on these rather volatile news releases I'd rather trade the instrument that moves a little bit less so if I had taken a trade it's as it was coming through here and looking bearish I'd have been looking for the first pullback south you know the reason why we draw this scene of the crime is to mark where it was right in the news release and to see how quickly we return there and test it and what happens upon that test and this was quite a bearish test and the fact that we had one little test and then straight through so we've got settlement below as well at 15980 so that's just something to bear in mind on I'm just going to double check I have that level correct in fact I don't think I do I think my level in bookmap is not right so just ignore that drag over my TPA that's the one thing I haven't done today drag over my TPAs in fact if you look at the TPAs it's actually very very funny because you have this gap between the Monday RTH and the Tuesday RTH and I've had to compress the scale an enormous amount so that you can see that but you can see a settlement is there which is at 15880 or close to it it's once it gets a little bearish you know that's assuming we stay under the scene of the crime then there is always the possibility of getting back into range and then even tagging uh tagging that settlement now we are still so let's have another look as well compare what we can see in the Trader Map Pro with this this is where the unfiltered you just have these algor bands and it makes it really hard to read you do get the icebergs but I don't find the icebergs to be particularly useful in a thin instrument like NQ occasionally they can be when you have a huge iceberg but ordinarily they are not so this was a case where it's one of those occasions where it was actually useful but yeah that is not ordinarily the case in NQ sometimes you have to um with the Trader Map Pro you have to zoom in or out to get the clarity that you can get with the add-on you know like if I just had it like that that is a bit of a blurry mess but if you do then zoom out a bit and you get roughly the right it doesn't have to be perfect just roughly the right um level of zoom the heat map becomes a lot lot clearer again there are nuances in futures day trading and we just have to be aware of that and this is a heat map which is um it's going to change based on the liquidity that is present you can just see how that was was really quite useful um once they got rid of this good liquidity this resting liquidity became the target and smacked straight back down into it at 15, 9, 60 and straight through it so so that's just a tip that if you do test this bit this um add-on I think it's still in beta so I think that testing it out could still be free but I can't but it hold me to that one because it's it's not me that charges for it I'm going to look at the Trader Map Pro the um just the filtered sizes so you've got that just draw in the effectively that's where that is I don't think the settings that I've got overly help at the moment I think you I think the MBO stops and icebergs on ES are actually useful um and although it's a little bit clearer you know you might have to reduce the contrast on the heat map to see it a little bit better I think the unfiltered heat map is better than the settings I currently have for Trader Map Pro it does not mean that the add-on can't be made clearer just I haven't found the right settings yet for ES but in NQ it's making a big difference to how I trade at NETH and you can you can see why without me saying too many words um if I am just scroll this back here um where you've got a target like this you know they've moved their liquidity down I don't think they interacted you've got this level here in this level and then you've got this nice little pump fake you could call it which is a reverse spring or it's just uh this time of the day that that is like a one tick high even though it is several ticks or several points that's how far these little swings happen at this time of the day after a major news release so that really is the type C supply demand and then you're going for the liquidity below on this occasion it got close but no cigar and now it's you know it's back into this wider range so it's actually back into so that if I then look over here I'm looking to see whether this profile is balanced even though I've got them separate separated out whether you've in fact take a little tail above and below and you've got a little balance on the profile which is reflecting that we were in a range from about there down to there uh and yeah what what you're looking for if you believed and again we can't predict the future that that liquidity was magnetic would be mean reversing from the edge of the range back towards it on this occasion it looks like it's going to break out and go in the other direction but you never know ditch that so you want it to get back into that range pretty quickly and then come back to the other side showing a little bit strength now so I'm looking across at the other markets which is something that we should be doing as well so we're looking across at ym and rty so you've seen this on the one minute that they had big spikes up and they've also gone bearish rty had an incredible day yesterday and the fact that it's gone a little bit bearish after the news is quite relevant and the other thing we're looking at as well the other things we're looking at is the the us dollar and it is showing some strength after that news you can see that on euro usd that's one of the internals on trading view I wouldn't necessarily say that was very good or very bad again the fact that you have so many instruments or symbols in trading view means that you get to try a few different things to see if they have any relevance or not where you have resting liquidity again I'll say this again and you believe that is resting liquidity you have to have that patience you remember the the saying which oh gosh sorry let me just get back it's going to hit it now but what I'm trying to say is that markets go up to go down so if you've got this lovely resting liquidity there and that was your target the fact that it went up all that way first and actually hit a little bit of liquidity there that is great that increases your r multiples that means that they may have got the fuel that they wanted to get us right through this liquidity that's what you want to see especially in a thin market like NQ they need fuel they need fuel from the below to go up and from above to go down and that applies to just about every market there is or any market that's not heavily manipulated and all markets are manipulated to some extent now if we zoom across this level here becomes interesting because it's been here for such a long time now it's not new after the scene of the crime there's 15 945 has been here about 90 minutes before the release of the news which is quite long in terms of resting liquidity on this occasion it might not ordinarily be long in ETH sometimes we get there for 12 hours but on this occasion that 90 minutes is good enough and through we go so that's where this add-on gives you that clarity to see that is the magnet that they were looking for hey Tom good morning I'm doing a bit of NQ live order flow because it's been a little bit easier to read although I did read ES as well on the way that we broke back through the scene of the crime level pretty much straight away and how bearish that was in fact there was actually more bearish because we had a little bounce first off it and then we went through it on the second approach so let me have a look across as well this is just for a bit of context I'm just going to rub this over this these two of the 10 minutes I've got NQ above and I've got ES below that's just the way I look at them one thing to bear in mind is that NQ still hasn't got back to yesterday's globe X high so we're still above that and ES is only just back in range now so even though we've had some quite bearish bearish price action since the PPI retail sales release we haven't gone a long way south so one other way of looking at that was there was a lot of room to pull back and there we're now at this 15940 level again that's been there for I was telegraphed on that release at 830 and was actually in place before him but they increased it at 830 so markets will not go straight down but we'll have a look at the levels that are below and the biggest levels the levels over 100 here at 15830 and 15800 and I will disregard that round number 15830 is interesting but it's at or reach at the moment it's 100 points away so we will disregard it we are at 846 we've only got 14 minutes left in our little breakfast session so let's have a look we've got yesterday's globe X high marked in ES at 4524 so we've had a good look at NQ and we've seen what's tradable and what's not tradable so we've got two levels here on our heat map that I pay attention to being yesterday's globe X high and settlement I've got them approximated so they're not exact but I do know what the exact levels are but I tend to trade zones rather than the exact levels just what I've found to be more useful so let's have a look at this action I mean one thing that I will comment on on the MBOs is that obviously there are a lot of these little icebergs and there's a few stops but there's an awful lot of the icebergs the fact that there are so many and I know I can change the filter so that you see less just means that I'm less likely to use something that has so many signals it becomes a little bit less useful to me so what I tend to do is I've said before is I tend to keep these resting cell icebergs as targets and I'm more interested in the MBOs so the MBOs are often proxies for really good stop runs and that's what I'm I'm looking at the most I'm also aware that the action that you're going to see after a major news release can be both volatile and choppy so when we've got a resting iceberg below I will not ordinarily pay attention to it but the exception is when there is a lot of traded volume so I will look at the number traded and I can see that's 108 and then I'll look across and I will see to see whether we have an unfinished auction or not we don't and I'll look at the number of sellers that are transacting in this zone so you can see a lot of sellers were there they've those the late sellers have been trapped and they've given us this nice little pullback up so this little delta tail always comes in handy to me if there had been a decent number of buyers there I'd be very interested in using that as a target whether for now or for some time after or at the RTH open so the moment it's it's a point of interest not a huge point of interest but a point of interest to me I'm not using it as a target for a short just yet but it's something of interest now we've had a good pullback you can see what I mean about having to zoom in and out on the trader map pro and this time I think I'm actually going to reduce the contrast you do not want it so that the filtering does not help you and you just see a blurry yellow and orange mess that doesn't help you so I'm looking to see whether any of this liquidity up here is real you can see I mean one of the advantage of this even though it is like an algo band it's cleaner than the algo band it's like a dotted line band much cleaner than if you look at the algo band there that's absolutely horrible you can't really see the resting liquidity levels in between so let's just zoom out and see where we are in relation to so there is the scene of the crime in NQ we had a big move down and now we've had a bounce but we're still above yesterday's high so whenever you you've had a big down move but you hold yesterday's high that retains it bullishness for me at the moment let's see the crime as well the fact that we've gone the other side of that scene of the crime does not mean that that's not an interesting level to the markets you know we've gone through it we went up we shot up to start with we touched it bounced a little bit and then we went through and then we had a quite a big bearish move what I'm seeing now is if we have enough fuel to go up and test it from the underside also looking to see if there's any liquidity up above in ES beyond that telegraph level of 4545 which might or might not be real I mean there is a law against spoofing but we interesting to see if that stays at 600 orders as and when we get there come down got a lot of commentary saying I wasn't actually intending to but spend the last few minutes just having a look at price action we've had the big moves since the scene of the crime since the 830 release so what we're looking at now is just a little move so I'm just commenting on the price action as I see it you often find me zooming in and out to see what is traded at these swing points I mean obviously what I was seeing there was that there was only 14 traded there and that we had a resistance also a support all in the way it doesn't mean that we won't go through it the next time it was just interesting that that on the first approach with only 14 there and there was a potential for a little scalp up and if it got moving then you know the ultimate target was back at the scene of the crime now they've moved that liquidity up and see we are as little and unfinished auction here and we go so that that really is just scalping so using a combination of lack of interest it's a double bottom and you've got the support liquidity wall beneath you and you've got this or taking out this previous swing high as your first target so in terms of you know if you got in even here at 4526 you're trying to get in with a six tick stop six tick stop so you would have got one R whether you get more I don't know and that's again just showing you that you can scalp just off the heat map exactly as it is sometimes you don't need any add-ons just need a few columns you'd understand what current price structure is what's of interest to the market what it's currently holding you know it's back over here stays high and further that meant it was temporarily bullish and you can do it that way you have to have patience and you have to move very very fast if you're going to take that type of trade ideally I will not take a trade unless I can see a target with a viable target within 2R or sorry I'll say that again I will not take a trade unless I see a viable target outside of 2R in other words that my trade will get to 2R before I hit the main main target that I can see so we had a little um we had a little interaction with liquidity with an MBO stop of 34 what was interesting there was that we took that out with one tick so if you're talking very very short term time frames that is a reverse spring or upthrust again just scalping stuff because the market is just chopping around waiting for the open at this stage and there isn't an awful lot that it's doing it's really in a holding chopping pattern until we get to the 930 and we get to the real heart of the action so yeah just to recap really what it was I was saying before we're obviously in a very very bullish phase we had some round numbers one of which has been tagged by NQ already the other one hasn't been tagged by ES but then again it has tagged a very big round number already being 4500 we've had some major market news being the retail sales and PPI and the market reaction to that has been a little bit bearish going into RTH and so far ES is sort of just staying above range but if it does get back below range then settlement becomes an obvious target and NQ is far far stronger and is still well above or well above in the sense of it's about 25 30 points above it's yesterday's globe x high and yeah that's I think where are we now we've got still got a few minutes left so that's okay yeah so we can see where that is and if we scroll the way down so yeah okay what I want to comment on just on these levels on NQ is we're currently over yesterday's high my point is that if we get back and get below yesterday's high in RTH because you've got settlement and yesterday's point of control virtually together and the fact that they're not that far from yesterday's high means that there's a high probability that we'll you know if we get under yesterday's I will take both of those out and there's been nothing overly bullish in terms of the reaction to the the retail sales and PPI so that it looks like there's a probability of that happening it doesn't mean that we won't first retag this scene of the crime and then maybe go down again but what you really really want to see if you are going to go for that settlement drive is it not being able to get away from yesterday's globe x high so when you zoom it in and vertically you get a lot of clarity with trade amount pro and there's no money that goes to me from saying that so I'll just point that out as well what I'm talking why I'm talking about it is for how I like to trade and I do like to see clarity on liquidity rather than just a big blurry mess a quick look to see what is at the top here so this is an example of an unfinished auction in NQ so you can see that there's sellers and buyers that have traded at this level up here at 970ish but it's not you there's any six sellers at that level if it was really big for NQ something like 20 I'd become very very interested it's probability that it'll get taken out but it's nowhere near as good as if there were say 20 sellers there now it's probably going to just do it for us and if we scroll back we can see almost got a double top there we've almost got a triple top and the old brick in the wall argument that more times you throw a brick at the wall eventually one will get through okay I think I've come to the end of my hour again I hope some of that was of use and I hope the last section wasn't all just me purely scalping I like to talk about tools exactly as I use them and not sugarcoat them too much so yep anyway I hope I hope people enjoyed it and thank you very much for


It's with great honor to introduce Jeremy Hunt today to our program. Jeremy Hunt has been the longest Secretary of Health of the United Kingdom ever and gave up the post to take on even greater responsibility for the UK. But during his tenure, he accomplished so much, he brought transparency to the NHS system, which is the beginning of understanding the problems and solving the problems, and has already paid numerous dividends. In addition, Secretary Hunt founded the Ministerial Patient Safety Summit that has been going on for the last four years, very successfully bringing the attention of world leaders to patient safety. We are blessed to have his strategic thinking, his care for humanity, and his incredible presence and importance on the world stage to be focused on what we all care so much about, which is keeping patients safe. So without further ado, Jeremy Hunt, thank you. The World Health Organization say we have five preventable deaths every minute across the world, 2.6 million deaths every year. And why is it after 20 years of campaigning on this that we still have these terrible statistics? Well, the truth is that we need to change the law. Because when a tragedy happens in hospital, unlike in other fields of life, very often sadly someone dies, and then a defensive culture kicks in, which makes it impossible for doctors, nurses, midwives, other professionals to speak openly and honestly about what went wrong so that lessons can be learned. We have the lawyers, the regulators, the hospital authorities, doctors are worried about being struck off the register, about being sued, about the reputation of their unit, their professional reputation, all these things crowd out the most important thing of all, which is to learn from what went wrong and make sure it never happens again. What is still missing, despite all this great academic effort, professional effort at healthcare industry, is really paying attention and giving a lot of credit and importance to the concept of safety culture. For other industries like nuclear power, aviation that they have had, a lot of advances in safety culture that I suggest that the healthcare industry, they should learn from that. In fact, this concept of safety culture or another one, human factors, these are cross-cutting issues, these different industries they need to learn from each other and to apply that. In a, unfortunately, this mindset of silos has hindered the improvement of safety in several of these industries. I hope that one day all these industries, nuclear, medical, and aviation, they come together and to come up with some joint statement and joint initiatives on safety culture improvement. For 20 years, the LeapFrog Group has published critical patient safety and quality data so that the public can have access to transparent information about the safety of their healthcare systems. It is now my pleasure to introduce to you Leah Binder, President and CEO of the LeapFrog Group. We are very proud to be part of the Unite for Safe Care movement today. This is so important to our country. Patient safety has been a problem for many years and unfortunately too often it is treated with silence. People don't talk about the problem or we think it is maybe a secondary priority. It is a major priority. Experts suggest that as many as 500 people a day die from preventable errors and accidents in the healthcare system. Everybody wants this to happen and there are ways to make it stop and it is so exciting to be working with doctors and nurses as well as patients and advocates and our own constituency of purchasers and employers who really care deeply and know that we can do better in this country. So it is just thrilled to work alongside all of our colleagues and friends to Unite for Safe Care. Thank you. In 2013 we traveled as McKenna Lee and the Micro Fixers to the initial summit as musicians. We also participated in the summit and realized that we could leverage our rank and role in our respective healthcare institutions to support the initiatives of the patient safety movement. Subsequently we became participants in steering committees and ultimately board positions as well as positions on steering committees and developed the app, the Patient Aider, which we donated to the Patient Safety Movement Foundation. So at the very first summit one of the things that was a big impact on me were the words that Joe Chiani used in one of his speeches and that was about the little things that we do that can make a huge difference. And about four years after that first summit we decided as a band that we wanted to do something a little bit more impactful. We wanted to do something, you know, other than just providing music, we wanted to provide an actual song that would embody the spirit of the movement. And so harkening back to that first summit and those words that really inspired me, we came up with a song called Little Things. And this song is basically meant to capture that whole spirit, the whole spirit of how little things that we do can make a huge difference. I want choice, I want change, to change. And to trust and trust was hard, but they saved his life, that changed the world. I want choice, to change. I want choice, I want change. I want choice, I want change. To change the little things.


The Narcissist will act like it never happened. The Narcissist will often do things that people generally won't approve of. Things that are illegal or morally wrong. Or they will be aware of something that happened. And they will just sweep it under the carpet. They will hide their problems or try to keep it a secret. Instead of dealing with it, they will ignore, deny or conceal from public view or knowledge. Something that is embarrassing and appealing or damaging to their image or reputation. Because they are ashamed of what they did. They are shame based individuals doing everything they can to avoid reflecting on their shame. They don't want to deal with it. They don't want to accept that they made a false mistake. Because that would mean that they are less unperfect. And Narcissists have to display an image of perfection. If anything went wrong, it has to be blamed on the victim or scapegoat child. Or they will just deny it. They will gaslight the victim and deny it to anyone who questions or confronts them. Because they don't want to deal with the shame of what they did. Deep down they know that what they did was wrong. They know that they are fully responsible. And that is why they will do whatever it takes to hide it and act like it never happened. They also don't want to deal with the consequences of their actions. They don't want to deal with the result or effect of what they did. Because it is likely to be unwelcoming or unpleasant. It is likely to be something that they don't want to happen. And that is why the Narcissists will act like it never happened. That is why they will gaslight you. And do whatever it takes to convince people that it isn't true. They will even make themselves believe their own lies. They think that if they tell themselves it never happened. Then maybe no one else will realise that it did. They think it will be more believable. And once they get other people to believe it. It makes it more believable for them. Until it becomes very difficult to decipher what is actually true or not. Because they've mixed up so many lies and distorted interpretations. In their attempt to conceal their immoral behaviours. And in many situations people do not believe the victims. Because the Narcissist presents this false image of being a humanitarian. Someone who is generous and compassionate. Someone who is only there to help.  Especially since what the Narcissist is hiding. It's often so damaging and destructive. But it would be difficult for anyone to believe. Narcissists have some of the worst past secrets imaginable. They have done some horrible things. To people who didn't deserve it. So they really have no choice to hide what they've done. Because they know that they're at fault. And they know that anything that happened after that. Is only the result or effect of their behaviours or lack of action. Which is why they have no choice but to hide it. Which is why they have no choice but to act like it never happened. Because the only other option is for them to accept the blame. And to deal with the consequences. They'd rather just sweep it under the carpet.  Even though the easiest thing to do. Would be to come clean and admit what they've done.  Because they just can't deal with the shame. They can't deal with the damage that it would cause to their false image. The Narcissists will act like it never happened.  The flying monkeys act as their enablers. They make it possible for the Narcissists to continue doing what they're doing. They enable the abuse and encourage their destructive behaviour. Together they keep a code of silence. They withhold vital or important information. Because they don't want anyone to know what they've done. And they know how people would look at them. If the truth was to be revealed. So they act like it never happened. Even though they may be discussing it behind the scenes.  And deny it to anyone who questions or confronts them. Because they're trying to dodge the shame. They know that what they've done is wrong. That's why they're trying to hide it. If they really believed that what they did was acceptable. Or justifiable. They wouldn't feel any need to hide it. They're hiding it because they know what they did was wrong. Or they know that they should have handled the situation differently. But they think they can just lie about it and act like it never happened. They think that will make their problems go away. But the shame continues to eat away at them. It is the reason why they're so miserable. And it affects every aspect of their lives. The narcissist will act like it never happened. But you need to trust your own intuition. Remember the evidence and facts.  Use critical thinking skills of analysis and evaluation. Until you arrive at your conclusion. If you are certain that the narcissist is hiding something. You need to recognize that you cannot trust this person. You cannot expect them to be responsible around anything of significant value. You cannot expect them to tell you the truth about anything else. And you cannot trust anyone that they surround themselves with. Anyone who agrees with them. When a person acts like something never happened. It means that they're not going to hold themselves accountable for their actions. And a person who isn't going to hold themselves accountable. Is likely to do the same thing again. They're not going to come clean. Because they don't want it to end. They want to continue doing what they're doing. And they know that if they were to be open and honest with you. It would have to stop. They wouldn't be able to continue engaging in that behavior. If you have evaluated the situation. And you believe that they are lying about something they've done. Or something that happened in the past. Just know that it could happen again. And if it did. They would only deny it again. They would pretend like it never happened. You cannot trust the narcissist or their fly monkeys. They are not credible sources of information. They will always lie to you. They will always withhold vital or important information. But you shouldn't need to seek their validation. To know what is right or wrong. Trust your own memory and perception. Trust your conscious reasoning. And trust your own intuition. Thank you for watching. I hope this video resonated with you. Please like, comment, share and subscribe.

Secretary-General, Excellencies Ministers, Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is a great honour for me to deliver Ethiopia's statement at this conference today. On behalf of the people and government of Ethiopia, I would like to join others in thanking the government and people of Romania for hosting this ITU Plenary Potentiary Conference and for the warm welcome extended to us. In the same vein, I would like to commend the ITU Secretariat for the excellent work done in making the necessary preparation for this conference. Let me also use this opportunity to express my sincere congratulations to the chairman, Mr. Sabin Sarmat, for being elected as the chairperson of this conference, but also to Ms. Dorim Bogdan Martin, the first female secretary-general to lead our global union in 157 years history, and Mr. Thomas for being elected as deputy secretary-general of the ITU. I would like to assure you all the cooperation and support of my country during your tenure. Excellencies, distinguished delegates, as we gather here today, we take full cognizance of the work done thus far by the ITU over the years. Ethiopia's membership of ITU dates back to 1932, which makes the cooperation and partnership between ITU and my country over 90 years. The seat of the ITU's regional office for Africa is also in Addis Ababa, the diplomatic capital city of Africa. Since 1932, Ethiopia has been strongly dedicated to support the achievements and goals of the organization. It will continue to fully commit itself to the strategic direction set by the ITU to ensure universal connectivity, promoting the much needed digital accessibility, thus narrowing the gap in the digital divide. During the past four years, major reforms took place in Ethiopia. Among these is the homegrown economic reform agenda which focuses on telecommunication, ICT sector. The liberalization of the telecommunication industry in Ethiopia generated an opportunity for various telecom players. In 2021, Ethiopia awarded SafariCom Ethiopia, a consortium consisting of Vodafone Group, SafariCom Kenya, Sumitomo Corporation of Japan and the British International Investment to be telecom operator in the country. This was operationalized in August 2022. Preparations are also under way to launch the second new license bid aiming to bring on board a third telecom operator. The privatization and national telecom operator, Ethiopia Telecom, is also well underway. Recognizing the need for a strong regulatory body, my government established the Ethiopian communication authority to carry out the sector regulation as well as to oversee the sector liberalization and privatization effort. In line with ITU's universal connectivity strategy goal, Ethiopia established universal access fund. The universal access and service framework was also developed and put into action. Excellencies distinguish delegates. Ethiopia has also been making tremendous changes in the digital space. In June 2020, Ethiopia developed a digital transformation strategy, Digital Ethiopia 2025, with the objective to build an inclusive digital economy that leaves no one behind. The strategy aims at developing the infrastructure mainly connectivity and power, enabling systems such as digital ID, digital payment, cybersecurity, digital interaction among government, private sector and citizens such as e-governance and e-commerce. The digital ecosystem including finance regulatory framework and people digital skills. We believe that digital ICT is a critical sector for the promotion of wealth and job creation. Digitalization in Ethiopia is expected to leapfrog the nation from its current states to a data and knowledge driven information society and economy. This is why several legal frameworks to enable the ecosystem and unleash the potential are being developed. For instance, the e-transaction proclamation, the personal data protection proclamation, the national ID ID proclamation and other key framework will play key roles in enabling the ecosystem. Initiatives such as digital ID, e-commerce, e-government, e-government, digital skills and literacy are expected to become fully operational in the next four years. Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to conclude by expressing my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to the outgoing Secretary General, Mr. Alin Zo, for his total of 36 committed service out of week 24 years in leadership as Director of Telecommunications Standardization Bureau, Deputy Secretary General and Secretary General of the ITU. Ethiopia sincerely appreciates your hard work and determination as well as achievements during your terms of office. We are very much grateful for your service. Ethiopia will be hosting the upcoming IGF from 28 November to December 2022. On behalf of my government, I would like to invite you all to come to Addis Ababa and enjoy its hospitality. Looking forward to closely working with the newly elected officials and offering congratulations in advance, I wish all of us a successful deliberation at the preliminary at the Plenary Potential Conference 2022. I thank you.


vintage 1980s and 1990s changeables McDonald's food transformers. If you don't know about these, these are a great Bolo item. They do pretty well and they usually sell pretty quickly. If this one I had the little carry case, I got this at a garage, so I paid $3 for it and I sold it. Hey, Bolo buddies, thanks for watching. On my little pony. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. Hey, Bolo buddies, thanks for watching. All right, you guys, my name is Courtney, also known as Bolo Buddies. And on this channel, I teach about Bolo items, items to be on the lookout for, items you can hopefully source low and sell for a nice profit. In this video, I'm gonna talk to you about my bread and butter Bolo's. Those are Bolo items that I sell on eBay for $35 or less. I'm gonna tell you where I got it, what I paid for it and what it sold for. All right, let's get started with the first item. And this actually came out of a thrift store mystery box. And from my experience, most of the Ben 10 items are, you know, lower dollars. So this one I feel like sold pretty well for $17.50. This is the Omniverse grav attack and it's 4.25 inches tall. It's an action figure toy. And yeah, he's Ben 10. And let me show you, let's see if I can, there's this foot says C in, is that a B? I don't know, I used a Google lens. That's how I figured it out, but they are marked on the feet. The next item is this Longenburger pottery collector's club miniature milk picture, picture with box. And I got a really big money set. It was like a T set, a miniature T set at this same sale. This one took longer to sell, but that collector set, wow, it sold for a big money and it sold quick. But this little picture was a little more long tail, but I still sold it for $30 plus shipping and I paid $5 for that at a garage sale. The next item is this signed IA pendant, Damascene, I don't know how to say that, Damascene gold tone with black enamel oval shaped. And I was able to find another one that was like this by using keywords. And this actually sold pretty quickly. I got this at a thrift store for 50 cents and I sold it for $24 and 50 cents plus shipping. The next item are these vintage 1980s and 1990s changeables McDonald's food transformers. If you don't know about these, these are a great Bolo item. They do pretty well and they usually sell pretty quickly. This one I had the little carry case. I got this at a garage, so I paid $3 for it and I sold it for $35 on Best Offer. The buyer was all in for $50 and two cents for that with tax and shipping. The next item is this vintage Lewis Marks truck. This took a long time to sell. If I remember correctly, this came out of a thrift store mystery box. I ended up taking a Best Offer of $12 plus shipping on that. This here is a creative memories refill 12 sheets, seven by seven, and this came from that garage sale where I bought all of the creative memories stuff like her entire collection. I sold this for $11 and 90 cents plus shipping. The next item is this vintage Mason's trucker hat. Snap back York, right, cryptic Masonic, yellow, see details. There is the tag and that's what it looks like. I got this at, I think it was at a garage sale and it was probably a dollar. I sold it for $24.49 and the buyer paid shipping on that. This is Daniel Tiger and I do pretty good with these little figures. FRC Daniel Tiger toy set, two figures here. You got the tiger and the owl. I got these at a thrift store for 10 cents and I sold these for $8 plus shipping. Here's another creative memories, 12 by 12 white scrapbook refill pages. And I feel like I priced these items pretty competitively and they have been flying out of my store, $15 and 40 cents plus shipping on this one. Here's another one or did I do it twice? Maybe I just did it twice. Sorry about that. This is a high chair. Oh, what did I do here? Okay, I think that was a non-payment. So let's go on to the next one. Okay, so here we go. This is a patch. It's an Ohio patch. I have two of them available, one sold. It sold for a best offer of $7.50 plus shipping. And if I remember correctly, that came from a thrift store and like a bag of patches. This one right here, you guys, I was at the Goodwill Benz and it was sealed, so I just grabbed it. I don't do a lot of CDs or media, stuff like that. But because it was sealed, I thought I would try it. This is major bread and butter, but cost of goods, $1.79 a pound. I probably had, what, a quarter, 50 cents in this. And I ended up taking a best offer of $5 plus shipping. And it sold a lot quicker than I expected. This is a Brio train set. It's the train and the cargo cars here. I got this at the Goodwill Benz, so I dug it out of the bottom of the Benz, $17.50 plus shipping on that.  So sorry, guys, I need to get back up there, but I'm trying to get all of that stuff listed and it's garage sale season. So there will be more Benz videos in the future, but I probably have, I don't know, between seven or eight, if you wanna look back on some of those. This is an Ice King bear plush frog stuffed animal. He's super cool. He also came from the Goodwill Benz and I sold him for $17.50 plus shipping. This right here is this Gooey Louis Brain game and I got this at a garage sale and I decided to part it out. I just wanted to see if I could sell these Gooey boogers. They're boogers. It's for a booger game. It's a weird game. But I sold this for $11.20 plus shipping. So if you ever see this game at a garage sale, if you sell it with the game, it's heavier and this is gonna keep you in first class. So I went ahead and parted it out. The next item is this vintage Eastwick mini mohair witch bear. It is a Boyd's new old stock with tags and I sold this for $12.59 plus shipping. This right here is the VTech GoGo Corey Carson DJ train tracks multicolor lights sound replacement. And this is VTech and they do make the little cars. What are they called? Smart. Can't think of what they're called right now but they have lights and sound but I've never seen the train. I had to use Google lens for this. I got this at the Goodwill Benz and I sold it for $9 plus shipping. This is a pet shop and I left the sticker. I left the sticker on it, you guys. Ah, that's embarrassing, right? I got this in a thrift store mystery box and it must have been something that was at a garage sale and then somebody donated it to the thrift store and it ended up in a mystery box because it still has the garage sale sticker on it. Can you believe I did that? I just left it. I knew it and then I left it. Sold this for $25 plus shipping. The next item is this Mega Blocks 9301 Plantazoid's Repzillion replacement figures and vehicles. So I had the set, the set was not complete. So I took the figures in the vehicle and I sold them separately and then I have a bunch of the replacement pieces that are still listed. I sold these alone for 2910 plus shipping. Here's just a patch. It's Appalachian Trail Main to Georgia Patch, blue, yellow, and white. I basically just wrote what was on the patch. This came from a thrift store and a bunch of patches. I sold this for $7.50 plus shipping. This is a vintage Mattel Disney's Princess Sparkling Bell Barbie doll. The box was damaged. I bought this from Donna Telebotelino's YouTube auction. It was a big lot of vintage toys and all of the packaging was damaged. I have an unboxing video of that and I tell you exactly what I did to maximize my profits on that box. It was a great box. I've done really, really well for it. I ended up taking a best offer of $30 plus shipping on this. This is a Teletubby. It's from 1998 and you guys are probably looking at me like, did you really list that? But more importantly, you're probably wondering, did that really sell? Yes, it really did. Look at the paint loss, look at its cheek. I listed it because it was a Teletubby and Teletubbies are hard to find. They are collectible. This guy is a mess and he still sold. I did take a best offer of $7 happily for him and the buyer paid shipping and I got that at the garage sale for a quarter. This is vintage sandy lion teapots and teacups. They are stickers. It is one sheet and I got these at a garage sale for a quarter and I sold them for $14 plus shipping. I am not going to read any words today. This is a Dr. Seuss. It's kind of like a workbook for kids and it's got some stickers in it and I don't know. I saw it and I picked it up. Nope, I'm sorry. I didn't pick this up. This came in a thrift store mystery box but I decided to list it. I sold this for $10 plus shipping. The next item are these doll chairs lot.  I had questions like, will this fit a Barbie? Well, I'm like, I don't know what it fits. It's just something I picked up at a garage sale and it sat in my money pile forever and I finally listed it. So they bought this and they bought these Barbie pants and they bought the two items for $30.79 plus shipping. The next item is this Argo powdered gloss laundry starch blue advertising collectible item. It is vintage. I got this at a garage sale for a dollar and I sold it for $15.40 plus shipping. This little hallmark precious lamb cross stuffed animal plush Chevron toy Easter retired. This came from a thrift store. I paid $2 for it. Sold that for $14 plus shipping. And I think I have a video of me sourcing that as well. This one here I have had forever, like forever back when I started doing hard goods. I just thought it was cool. They're vintage jogalite safety hotspots and shoe tapes. I don't even know where I got it but I sold it for $7.30 on Best Offer and the buyer paid shipping. This here is the Bon Ami vintage cleaning cake soap. I got this at the same place as that Argo and I sold this one really fast for $11.20 plus shipping and that was also a dollar at a garage sale. This is a vintage Christmas village putz house. If you are not familiar with these, definitely be on the lookout. They do pretty good. This one's in horrible condition. People will get these and they will fix them up and tweak them to their own style but they are made in Japan and sometimes people will buy them for the windows. I didn't do a very good job of getting a closeup of the window but if you look right here, people sometimes just need the windows. I ended up selling this for $19.60 plus shipping and I got it at a thrift store for 50 cents. The next item here is this vintage 1993 pony surprise playful hair ponies by Hasbro. And it's plush and plastic. And this came from a garage sale. I paid a quarter for it and I ended up taking a best offer of $20 plus shipping on that guy. So what do you guys think?

The George Van Nuss Institute of International Learning has enrolled its first two students who are flying here right now to the Philippines from Quebec, Canada, NERCMIND, and Hurricane, those are their nicknames, are coming now, they will arrive in two hours, and they will be our first two students. Kidding, we don't have a school yet guys. The last three videos were just explaining what the school may be if we do it. And these two people are coming, they will be here in two hours regarding the school. The building you saw is not our building, I did not construct it, as some of you thought. If you noticed it said informatics at those cards in those rooms, that's because it used to be occupied by informatics college. It was a school here in the Philippines, they just moved, and we have the option of taking over that space to create a school ourselves. We have not committed to making a school, we're just exploring the opportunity guys. And a lot of you criticize me for how much money that's gonna take away from people who are working on MGM dashboard, music, and other things to help you grow. Guys, we're not taking any money away from you, if we do the school it will be funded separately from another pool of money that is independent of the money that is being used to build all the tools to help you grow. This is not going to take anything away from you if we do it. So I hope this helps you understand that we are simply expanding, we are going into new areas because wouldn't it be cool if while you were studying you were also building your YouTube channel. What if we got a deal with a world news agency and you were able to broadcast news footage for your political science courses on YouTube as part of your training about the world, about social studies, about history. What if you could build an audience around your content while you're in school so when you graduate you may actually have a career in video that is able to pay all your bills so you don't have to start from scratch when you do graduate. Wouldn't that be cool? Wouldn't that be amazing? Well I think so. And that's one of the reasons I really like the idea of founding a school is because we can inject YouTube as part of the learning so that you will build your audience and become comfortable in front of the camera while you're studying the the usual subjects. So by the time you have graduated you would have thousands of subscribers on your channel. You would have all of that experience in making videos so you would be starting from step 10 instead of step one. Does that help you understand the value of a school for an MCN? All right guys more about all this soon you're gonna meet the two newcomers very soon. Do you want to see a door-to-door video from them? How it was when they first left their house in Quebec? To how it is when they arrived here in the Philippines and everything in between? Do you want to see that kind of video? If so I'll put it up on this channel just tell me in the comments below. And who am I? I am George CEO and founder of Freedom and you've been watching


Anyway, competency-based learning is happening now, not very much, and that's probably my biggest concern with it. I love the flexibility. I can see why that's so important in my own. I've been teaching open courses these days, and I lose a lot of students because they just get behind. I work very closely with an online high school that my university runs. Same problem. They're not really competency-based courses. They're very traditional distance ed courses. And a lot of it really isn't any social engagement at all. A lot of it is because it is so on their own time and because when you break knowledge down into specific competencies like that, well, there isn't really that often for many people, for many of the competencies as the way many people define them, there just isn't that much reason for going to a social network, to a discussion forum, for a group chat. And so what you see in a lot of CBE settings is initially people start to use it and then they realize, this isn't really helping me any. You see this in the MOOCs, for example. Explosion of interest in the discussion forums take very quickly trickling off to little pockets of interaction. So typically not very much at all, really. The learners are the ones that have to bring the meaningful contexts to the learning setting. That's probably the first most important principle is you have to find what it is in the case of my own, for instance, my assessment course. Well, everybody has to define a curricular aim that they can then practice using the tools, the conceptual tools of the discipline of assessment, practicing to use them in that context. And so by defining competencies a little bit differently by saying that the really important thing is that they use the sort of the easily assessed stuff. So the big issue with CBE is assessment. And many people say CBE, DA, direct assessment. And that's the big challenge because many of the things we care about most can't be directly assessed. They're simply not, if you reduce them to something that can be directly assessed like a musical performance, a lot of stuff we care about just isn't meaningful once you've done that. So it's really about finding ways to get people to practice using abstract conceptual knowledge, the kind of stuff that's in textbooks, the declarative knowledge that can be easily assessed, the more specific skills. But they really have to practice using them when they're trying to walk the walk and talk the talk of the expert, what we would call the practices. They're very contextual. They're very idiosyncratic for individuals. So the social engagement you asked about previously, that's the key is getting people to talk about really quite specifically one really simple thing I do is getting people to judge the relevance of different either education knowledge resources or actually knowledge elements. If you take a more complex topic, like for instance, in my course I'm teaching right now in learning and cognition we're learning about this week the topic is encoding memory, right? So the textbook lists seven implications about encoding for education. Well, it's a really good way to get students engaging in the discussion of which of those is literally most relevant for them because they can't really do it without engaging in that implication and their own role and their own instructional goal. So that's a big part of my work is trying to make that happen and get that kind of social conversation happening.
