The following is a presentation of TFNN The Traders Edge with Steve Rhodes Toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> The Traders Edge now Steve Rhodes Good morning folks, welcome to the October 11th, the wonderful Wednesday edition of today's Trader Zed Show. I'm your host, D.B. Perseverance Rhodes, who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope open up there's having a great day and let's make sure we have an extraordinary one. Now the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us, not to us. That's right, when you and I can make that one little two by four shift it means we can find the gift in every set of circumstances that life is going to toss at us. Now today you and I we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We'll go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I at just past 11 o'clock in the morning. I want you to know I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here, but even more important than that. And that's this during this next 53 minutes I am here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone. We'd love to hear from you at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now if you've got a question which you can't call in, it can always send me an email. Send that off to Steve at TFN.com and inside the subject heading please put radio show question. Of course if you're inside our Tigris then well then any and every ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on wonderful Wednesday. Of course this is Tiger. Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to the show. Right now we've got a slightly mixed bag out there. The mix is coming from the Russell which is off one point. So it's basically flat. The other disease trading to the upside. Dow is up 72. Two tenths were sent. A quarter percent for the S&P or 11.6 tenths for the Nasdaq 100. 96 point moved there. 22 for the S&P or 6 tenths were sent. Trend is up about two tenths or 26 bucks there. You've got gold up $8. Silver is up 21 cents. Slices recruiters off 250. Natural gas back 12 cents. 30 year treasury up one point and one ticket 1303. Leading the charts dollar wise the upside. You've got Eli Lilly up 21 bucks 3.5%. Adobe is up 3% or 16 bucks. Equinix 11 bucks. One and a half percent. Amgen up $8 in change. That's a 3% move and NVIDIA is up 2%. That's an $8 move there. To the downside it's inspired medical systems. 12% move. 22 bucks. DeVita Inc off 17 bucks or 20%. Penumbra Inc. $16.7%. Stryker Corp. 16 bucks. 6%. Intuitive surgical 15 bucks. 5% move. So we've got some movers and we've got some shakers. Let's begin the day by looking at what? Let's begin the day by well let's go take a look at market breath out here. Let's see where we're at short term wise. This will be the 30 minute timeframe. This happens to be the S&P 500 bullish. 213 estimates trading above resistance. 149 trading below support. Let's take a look at the Nasdaq 100 30 minute timeframe bullish 54 above 17 below. Let's go take a look at those other four time frames 60, 240, daily and weekly. Let's first begin by taking a look at what? Let's take a look at the S&P 500 bullish for the 62 40 and daily. And on the weekly basis, you still have a negative crossover means 62 trading above 213 below there. When we take a look at the Nasdaq 100, we're going to see it's green across the board daily, weekly, 240 and 60. So that tells us you've got strong market breath across the board for the Nasdaq. You're in pretty good shape inside the S&P 500 with the exception being the longer term timeframe. It's weekly out there. So that's a good start. A good enough start for us to go ahead and switch. Well, the other thing that we want to take a look at out here is the spot volatility. As we take a look at it, what it is likely to do today as the market continues its equity rally is to get down and test or bust through the 50 day exponential moving average that 50 day is currently printed at 16 10. Spot volatility is the spot volatility price is currently printed at 16 33. Watch that 16 10 level. A price close below it, not necessarily just for day one, but it look at the close of below it. Key level of support will have failed. It'll be signaling a further rally is likely a price test and rejects that while the ESMini is also testing rejecting its 44 16 level winners. We have 44 16 50 level out there. Boy, we really would need to take a look at those intraday charts to see what kind of training signals we have out there. So that's what I'd be watching during the day today. The spot volatility next and the ESMini as it approaches both one approach of support and the other approaches resistance. Let's switch over and take a look at those white background charts out here and we'll begin with the daily equity future contract. They're going to be the ESMini in your upper left hand corner. So we can see that 44 16 as we were on the air yesterday as we were going off the air yesterday when we weren't sure of what we knew is we knew where the sellers resided 44 16 50. We didn't know how strong they would be, but we certainly learned didn't we? And they were strong enough to back price down. The question is, will they be strong enough today? And it's that spot volatility that's really going to be the answer to that question. The US dollar next trading slightly lower, but nothing big out there to really impact on the market. So we got to watch it support and resistance levels out here. In the case of the NQ, we know that it's market breath positive. We are trading almost trading above yesterday's high really close to it. Watch that level. That level, by the way, yesterday's high in the NQ was at 15 383 15. We're getting really close to that. We start trading above that odds favor move up to 15 509. You could even see a price move up to the 15 719 level. The 15 719 level is a TD nine count breakdown area. In the case of now equity future contract, not as strong as the NQ, I guess kind of be expected the NQ. We know we've got positive market breath for 30 60 240 daily and weekly. The Dow equity future contract wants to go target that 34 167 area. That's the top of its daily profile. And there are also 2000 as we said is struggling a bit. That struggle doesn't mean a whole lot this morning. It's trading above its bullish structure profile. It's trading above its oscillator and change line. Its target is 18 24 80 to the upside. Now, let's go from here. Let's dive down into the intraday charts out here just to try to get a feel. Let's begin with the NQ since that's the strong dog out here. What is the NQ communicating to us? Well, if we look at a five hour timeframe chart out here, the five hour timeframe chart, the current bar that we are in, it's not going to matter. There's no topping pad that we have out here on a five hour timeframe chart. And you're above resistance, which is both the top of its profile, the five hour profile as well as the oscillator and change line. This suggests that further move higher. 15509. If we look at the 240 minute chart, you've got a wave number seven top that could be in place. The only way that that gets in place that wave seven gets confirmed is a lower high. And I don't know this current bar is going to complete at two 2pm. If there's any kind of spike above 15 387 25, then that just simply extends itself on the two hour timeframe chart. We've got no, I take that back. You actually have a rosement dominicator top because that is a key reversal bar. That key reversal bar, you have to have three things. You have to be in extended condition. Trust me, what a rosement dominicator signal gets triggered, you're in extended condition. You've got to exceed the high and low of the prior bar. Well, that's happened on the two hour timeframe chart. You need to close one take in the opposite direction that took place. So the resistance level set up by the two hour timeframe chart is at 15 387 25 level, which we already established your price closed above that. It extends that 240 minute wave number seven, but you do have a short term top in place for the two hour timeframe chart. I don't see anything on the 60 minute, the 30 minute has a wave number seven top, the price found support at 15 297 15 297 is going to be your key level to watch to the downside. That's regarding the end queue. We'll be right back.

So what I've got up on my screen right now is the seasonal charts that are provided by the folks over at Seasonix and it allows us a lot of flexibility here with regard to how we want to take a look at this. So the chart that I have up on my screen right now is take a look at the last quarter century and it's looking it's looking at the pre-election years out there now in my ear one of my systems back up. OK, so I may have some internet issues going on here if I do my apology for that. But again, we're looking at the S&P 500. We're looking at the last 25 years. But what I've got this set to is the is the pre-election cycle out here. And so we really only have six data points. But at the same point in time that we have the S&P 500, the ESMini, testing resistance atop of its daily profile. And we have the spot volatilics pulling back towards its 50 day exponential moving average out here. If in fact the 50 day holds and resistance on the ESMini holds, this suggests if pattern follows this analog that we should see a short term top form right around right now today, yesterday, tomorrow, but right around right now with a pullback for about a week. And then as you can see here over that 25 year period of time, we're really for these six data points October moves higher, moves higher into the end of the month. And then what we have out there or what it has during this time period has basically been a consolidating pattern out there. So that's a 25 year chart. We can go beyond the 25 as itself. We go to 95 years up here. We can again select each of the pre-election years. So it does that for us automatically. And here you can see if this is the cycle that we're in, this takes us back 95 years, quite a few touch points out there. And here what we can see is we're supposed to be topping right about now as well with the market moving lower into the end of the year. When I say into the end of year, I'm referring to about the week before Christmas out here. So it's very possible that this is the pattern versus the pattern being. Let's do this here. Let's come back here. Let's take a look at 95 years. Let's not do more. I didn't mean to do that. That's weird. Okay, Stevie has a different way to do this. Now that was a DAX. Let's try to come back here for the S&P 500. Why is it still doing that? Oh, it's done 44 years. That's why probably. Let me try this here. Huh. Okay. Oh, there we go. Okay. So now we've got it. Now this would be the normal seasonal cycle. And let me just do like this. So the normal seasonal cycle, those of you that have been listening to my show for a number of years, you know, I used to do this chart by hand out here. Normal seasonal cycle is right around mid October. This for the S&P 500. The exact date out here is October the 13th. But we already have a bottom pattern that is in place out here for all four of the equity future contract and certainly for the ES mini out there. And this would suggest that the Santa Claus rally basically I consider the Santa Claus rally to begin with the fall bottom that typically it's put in. So the question becomes which seasonal cycle are the markets following? Is it going to be the election cycle? Or is it just simply going to be it's going to ignore the election cycle? I don't know the answer to that, but we're going to have a pretty decent idea here pretty soon. I would say within the next couple of days out there. So that's the importance of the relevance of the top of that daily profile that was tested rejected destiny in the essence and price still trading above is 50 day expense moving average for the spotball to next. OK, so we got that out of the way. Let's go take a look at some of the requests that we've got coming in. And thank you to each of you who have provided me with these requests. Much appreciated. Let's get over to his white background charts. We're going to start off. Take a look at FSM and this for not a trader inside the Tiger's Den. So if he's not a trader or she's not a trader, must be an investor out there. So we take a look at FSM. Let's take a look at it, though, from the daily, weekly and the monthly time frame. This happens to be one of the Fortuna Silver mines out here. And just like Silver is dealing with resistance, it was trading above resistance out there. That was a top of its daily profile. It rejected that yesterday before may reject that day's end. It being twenty two oh three. Well, you could see that Fortuna Silver also basically doing the same thing. It's trading into its bearish structured cell zone area. It's caused by that's TAS market profile. So the sellers inside of SF FSM, not a trader are between 282 and 290. And so far they have held up their end of the bargain. Now if buyers can close above 290, do that for two consecutive sessions, that suggests a further move higher, but further move higher to well where the next resistance level. Right now, I've got the next resistance level at 292. So that would be another area that you're watching. That happens to be the bottom of the daily profile. Now, if Fortuna Silver can overtake the daily bearish structured profile out there where a counter trend rally, if this is all this is, I'm not saying that it is, but I can share with you if this is just a counter trend rally, where price would find resistance would be the center of that bullish structured weekly profile that price been below for more than two consecutive weeks. So if you can get above 290, look for a move up to 303, that could be where the rally stalled. If in fact, for tuna silver, and this is for not a trader, because he must be an investor out there, you're looking for a close above 303. If you get a weekly close above 303, then you're off to the races, those races should take price up to the 368th level. So right now you're trading the resistance on the daily time frame, the monthly time frame just simply shows a consolidation with inside its profile, although it has lost its momentum as price goes down. So if you look at the price of the price trades below red oscillator and change line that says that price could always get back to that 2 31 level. So that's what I see when I take a look at FSM hope that that helps you out. If not, please right back. Let me know what specific information you're looking for that I was unable to cover Dan inside the Tigers. Then would like to take a look at ticker symbol a M T X and AM T X right now is trading out at about $4.56. It is trading out at about $4.56. You'll see that in a little while out there. No. It's a slightly bearish structured profile that the center slightly closer to the top than the bottom, but which is somewhat equally distributed. Here's what we know about AM T X. That is a Metis and that is on the daily time frame reform one of Stevie's favorite bottoms, and that's at Roadsman to Mindicator. And the reason is because that can oftentimes set up a sling shot to the upside. The sling shot to the upside, though you still have to deal with resistance zones.  Price consulting with inside his daily profile price should go target that 510 to 522 level. However, we have a teeny nine count bottom on the weekly and what we don't like so far is this week's action or basically yesterday's action. What Dan and I wouldn't know is why they priced up where it did if we only looked at the daily time frame chart. Now that we have the weekly time frame chart out as well, both Dan and I know exactly why priced up where it did. Why? Because on a weekly basis, that's that red oscillator and change line. That is the resistance point. So yes, we've got a teeny nine count bottom, but we also have a test rejection of a very key resistance level. So we're going to go on a weekly chart that this is a neutral type signal out there. Dan, what you need to see here is really close with that 522 in order to be free to move higher and that free to move higher could take you all we have to 659 even 782 on a monthly time frame chart. You just have a good old flashing consolidation with inside profile support at 183 and profile resistance at 584. So watch that 491 level out here on a shorter term basis. Let's call it a 30 minute. See if there's any kind of signal out here to give you a feel for what's going on an intraday on an intraday basis out here. What do we have? Not much. Yeah, I don't have anything that's going to help us out there, Dan. So AMTX looks good on the daily doesn't look so good on the weekly, although does have that teeny nine count bottom before you close below that low, that would be at $3.97. That would not be looking good at all. We'll be right back. The gold report. As a precious metal gold is still king.

Then hit Watch Tiger TV. Back folks. So the next is Tick or Simp. We're going to take a look at and make sure I'm on the right screen. I am, which is Lithium America's Corp out here. And we're looking for a bottom. So if we look for a bottom pattern out here first, if you take a look at the very right hand side chart, what you're going to see is you're going to see an A to B equals CD pattern. Now there's several A to B equals CD patterns out here. This would be, let's call it the most conservative one. So we know that we're at an A to B equals CD. That says we were to see a bullish reversal candle on the daily and the weekly. That would confirm a buy the D point pattern. Turns out the last week in fact did that on the weekly basis, Dan. You got a nice big old bullish and golfing candle. Now that low is being tested as we speak this week. And that low was $9.69. The price closed below $9.69. That pattern goes away. We also have a wave seven pattern on the weekly chart. That of course needs a higher low to confirm. So that could extend itself, you know, for quite a while out there. We won't know until we see next week's trading. On the monthly timeframe chart, if it were to generate a bullish reversal candle, then you'd have a big old monthly Gertley buy pattern or buy the D point. Short of that, on a monthly basis, this tells us price wants to maybe get all the way back to $2.39 out there. So again, watch last week's low as we speak right now. Now last week's low also generated a TD9 count bottom. Not if it was last week, it was October the second. Was that last week or was that the week before that? That was the week before that. So you have a daily TD9 count bottom pattern. That low formed on the following bar number nine. Now that created a swing point on October 2nd. That swing point did volume of 4.1 million shares. You're coming down today in less than two hours of trading or about two hours of trading exactly 2.7 million shares. That's not how you like to see a test of a key swing point out there. So that makes that low, that 9.69 low really important. Now odds favor because you've tested that with greater volume that that low will get tested again. Now if it gets taken out that TD9 count bottom is gone. You still have to wait to the end of the week to see if the buy the D point pattern on the weekly chart holds up or not. But that would be that would be a check in the arm. And that would say you're looking at lower price as far as when to get in on this. So you've got to watch. I'd say not just today's activity but perhaps today's activity where it closes. And then tomorrow if you get a test of rejection of that swing point on lighter volume assuming it doesn't get taken out. And I don't know why we're assuming that I'm just saying that that's the case that happens. And we see a close back above 9.69 today. Watch for that test tomorrow as it's on lighter volume. Because you've got the daily bottom. You have the weekly bottom out there. You don't have anything on the monthly chart. On a 30 minute time frame we take a look at Lithium American Corp. What we're going to see out here is a Roadsman to Mindicator bottom. And that took place right now. It took place at 10.30. So an hour ago Dan we haven't seen a lot of price moving out here. And you've got resistance up above first resistance level 10.11 above that 11.14 11.43 11.58 and 11.67 out there. So there's potential. But if you take out on a 30 minute basis low of the day out here that would not be a good scene. That would suggest Lithium American Corp is going to give you a better entry point out there. But we'll have or you'll have a better idea. A better idea over the course of the next couple of days. Certainly I would say by Friday. So Dan I hope that helped you out with regard to that ticker someone. Thank you so much for your requests. Much appreciated. The next one coming in from John C. and the Tigers down. Let's take a look at the XL up. The XL up from the beautiful TD nine count bottom. We've had a nice rally prices back inside its profile. It's bullish in structure. If price can close above 33.24 again today it did that yesterday. It offers us the hope that price will make its way up to the top of that profile John. And that's at 33.69. If it doesn't close above the 33.25 level then what's it telling us? Well likely that price would pull back and test it also then change on to 33.06. Do you have a bottom? If that was a question the answer is yes you do on the daily timeframe. Do we on the weekly? We'll know on Friday. Why will we know on Friday? Well you've got a nice TD nine count top that formed out here so that I identify the top for you. That turned into an A to B equal CD to the downside. I'm just simply going to move that A to B level down. You can see we're more than a one to one. Right now you've got a bullish and golfing candle. If you get a bullish reversal candle at week's end you will have a confirmed garly buy pattern to go along with the confirmed daily TD nine count bottom. So if the question was has the XLF made a bottom? It did so it confirmed that bottom on October the 4th out there. At the end of the week we'll know if the weekly chart is going to confirm a bottom as well. On the monthly timeframe what we have is a good old fashion consolidation with inside the monthly profile. What we also know about the monthly chart here for the XLF is that the oscillator and change line has acted as key resistance. And so on any rallies out there 3490 at this moment in time is that key resistance level as price changes that is going to change as well. But that's the area where the XLF really would need to close above to say that hey this thing might have some real legs to it right now. It's got some tradable legs. So that's what I've got when I take a look at the daily timeframe. Now from a 30 minute basis the XLF has confirmed a roadsman dominicator top. As we take a look at this we go by the play by play out here. You can see that right now the price is testing a key level of support John. And that level is the bottom of that profile at 3326. We get a 30 minute close below 3326. This tells us we're headed lower. Now headed lower to where I don't have any breakout areas out here that I can go back to. So I just have to look back and revert back to prior swing points. That's back at about 11 o'clock in the morning on October 9th and that's anywhere between 3271 to 3284 out there. So watch the bottom of that profile on a 30 minute basis 3326 of the XLF close below that. We're likely headed lower. And 3306 would be a good target as well. That is that daily oscillator and change sign. So John C. Now it's not unusual to see a pullback today. What do you mean, Stevo? Well if we just take a look at its dance movements out here it had a five step or a five consecutive month daily closes out there. Last time we saw five daily consecutive close to the upside was on April 19th and what did that set up? That set up an A to B equals CD to the downside pattern. So not unusual for it to trade lower today. What you want to watch though is that daily oscillator and change line because if price close below that that's a real good signal. The XLF would be headed lower out there. So I hope that that helps you out, John, with regard to the XLF. Thank you again for taking the time to rate in. The next request coming in from S&P and S&P wants to take a look at Palantir. PLTR is the ticker symbol out here. Palantir has got an A to B equal CD to the upside pattern. Let's take a look at it. We'll simply draw the A to B line out here and then we'll just simply move that over to the C point. That was our retracement that occurred after that B point and you can see we're at a one to one we're above the one to one area. All this tells us right now S&P is just be careful. You know, things are bullish you're above a greenhouse seven change line above the top of its profile. But if we does generate a bearish reversal candle you're going to get a sell signal. The weekly chart says yeah, but I don't see that happening just yet. Why? Because I'm trading above the top of my profile. That's at 1757. May not close above it on Friday but that's the key level that you would be watching. If it does close above that then it could run back to its recent highs in the $20 area out there on the weekly monthly timeframe. We have price trade above the top of its profile which is up at 1763. So looks good on the monthly is looking good right now on the weekly is looking good on the daily. The daily says just be cautious out there because if you get a topping pattern a topping candle out there not a topping pattern you already got the pattern C8B we'll see any pattern. But if you get that bearish reversal candle then this should pull back and the pullback level that we'd be looking at S&P would be about $16.38.

Traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Apple is for Dennis and West Palm Beach out here. Apple is in an A to B equal CD to the upside. That says if there were a bearish reversal candle that form we would see a gartly sell pattern. Now Apple has been struggling in the gap down area. There was a gap down on September 7th so between the September 6th and September 7th time period there was big volume there. 112 million shares is an example yesterday moving higher with a total of 43 million shares. So you know you've got that big gap area that you're dealing with. If price is able to spike above yesterday's high and it can do that either today, tomorrow, or on Friday, then you're likely to get ATD nine count top. Now we'll have to come back to that tomorrow and Friday to make sure of that but that's something else to be looking for. So if you're looking for a price to move higher out here if that spikes above 179.72 that says you've also got to be careful for the daily timeframe and we can see that ATD nine count top is what identified the most recent top the one from September 1st out here. So right now, things on the daily look good but you have to be on the lookout for either a spike above yesterday's high or a bearish reversal candle that could confirm a currently sell pattern. The weekly chart, road's meant to be indicator top, price found support where it should have 170.42, you're trading with insiders bullish structured profile. This says price should be able to run up to 183.27. The monthly chart out here, I don't have much but what I do have is a pretty big bearish structured monthly profile. Typically when you close below the center which it did last month price will make its way down to 147.21. So maybe what the charts are telling us here is at least Apple is that the markets are gonna follow along the election cycle out here. We should be looking for some type of top to form and this could be the high for the rest of the year out there. Yeah, that's what it could be but we'll see if we can take this stuff one day at a time out here. And right now with regard to Apple, everything looks good, just be on the lookout for a bearish reversal candle. That would then provide us with the information we're looking for which would be that, okay, Apple's at least topped out. So thanks for that request out there. Let's go to our next request. This one's coming in from Flip. Flip wants to take a look at the XLE. Wow, Stevie, I thought you had the XLE up there. Let me try this here. Don't have it there. Apparently Stevie is sleeping at the switch. Nemo certainly is. So let's get back here. Let me just kind of try to stay in order. Let's go take a look at the XLE and this is for Flip out here. We'll just, this'll take just a moment here to populate. But once it does, once it does, we're all set. Now in the case of the XLE, you had a gap up a couple of days ago. That confirmed they buy the D point pattern out here. Price is pulling back and it's testing that gap to the upside. Now the volume on that gap the upside was 30 million shares. So far today in a couple hours plus of trading you're back with 10 million shares. So it's pulling back with pretty decent volume. Is it just gonna test that gap? In order to test that gap, you need to get down to 86.50, 86.50 would be good. You got down to 86.55. So that gap still remains open up here. What we also know about the activity from yesterday is price ran right into resistance really where it should have. That was at its green oscillant change on a very close to the top of its daily profile. The top of that profile 89.38. So what do we have out here? You've got a bottom with price finding resistance and the consolidation with inside its profile. And that range is 85.11. Both the center and bottom are down there and the top is at 89.39. On a weekly timeframe chart, you've got a TD9 count top with price consolidate with inside its profile. Being below that green oscillant change line does open the door for a further retracement. A further retracement could take you back to 83.09 or 80.52 out there. We're not making that call just yet because we've got that daily bottom that is in place out here. But if you trade below the low, the low, close below the low, that low what we're talking about is 84.26. That's not gonna say 83.09 or 80.52 is on deck. With regard to the energy sector in its monthly timeframe, TD9 count top, just a sideways consolidation between 94.71 and about the $75 area out here. So we know that the XLE has a sympathy for the direction of Lightspeed crew. And as we mentioned earlier, maybe at the top of the hour, you do have Lightspeed crew, it is pulling back. You want to watch the area of 82.85 flip. If price close below 82.85, that is the November contract for Lightspeed crewed. Price is likely headed back in the case of Lightspeed crewed, 78.94 would be the next target. And if that happens, then you're likely to see the XLE pull back as well. So right now you've got the daily bottom, the weekly suspect, the consolidating, we'll just say at this stage the same thing with regard to the monthly chart out here. So I'd say watch Lightspeed crewed as well to help flip with his next move in interpreting the energy sector, the XLE. We had flip and we've got zip. And zip wants to take a look at the TLT. So if we take a look at the TLT, what we can see here is price right now is regaining the bottom of its daily profile, 87.75 out there. We're going to of course take a look at the 30 year treasury. Now, if this is only a counter trend move and we don't have a bottom pattern, today would generate the buy the deep point pattern because it has a gap to the upside. And that would say if this is just a counter trend move where price would stall, where price would run out of steam, where it turned back down would be at 89.05. On a weekly basis, you have a bull sash candle as we speak right now, that would be confirming a roadsmen to indicator bottom, but we won't know that till Friday. If we do get a bottom, that suggests move up to 90.43. So you got 89.05 and 90.43. The monthly chart could form a roadsmen to indicator bottom, but it's too soon to make that call. It just needs a bullish reversal candle, even though right now it shows up as a hammer. It's not a hammer. It's a hammer right now, but it's not hammer until the end of the month. Let's take a look at 30 year treasury, which is basically doing the same thing, which is trying to get back inside its profile. The bottom of that profile is at 112.31. That's what you want to watch out there. If price today can close above it, odds favorite move up to the next resistance level, and that's the center. And that center is going to come in at 115.19. So that's what you'd want to be watching for the 30 year treasury, if you happen to be a long TLT, or if you're short or if you're on a long TBT, which would be the short position out there. So right now, what do we see? We don't see any kind of a topping signal on an intraday chart, other than the four hour and five hour chart. And those show that the 112.24 area, the TD nine count breakdown area is a level that you really want to see price close above. And I said, 113.24. I'm going to say 112. 113.24. That's the next real key area out there zip that you're looking for price to close above to suggest that the TLT really wants to run higher. So thank you so much for that request. Let's go to the next one. Let me close these charts out though and free up some resources. The next one coming in from Nicholas. And Nicholas is returning from a beautiful trip to Spain. He was in Portugal. He was in Italy. He was all over the place. He was drinking great food is what he said. He was drinking a what had great weather, great food and great wine. Now that's the lifestyle out there. That's lifestyle that we like. That's for sure out there. So glad that you made it back safe out there. I think traveling overseas is not going to be easy for many years to come. If you were wondering, why did Stevie and Janice take all those trips this year? It was because we were anticipating that World War three was likely going to begin. And we ain't going to be doing a whole lot of travel over to Europe or any place else anytime soon. But let's go take a look at the Bank of America. B.A. is a ticker symbol that Nicholas wanted to take a look at. It's got that beautiful roadsman to indicator bottom with price now trading above the top of its daily profile here, where Boeing should head to. I said Bank of America, didn't I? They say Boeing or Bank of America. I don't remember which one I said out here, but we're taking a look at the stock charts for Boeing, B.A. So I did say Bank of America, my apology. Now where Boeing should head to, it should be targeting 209.83. And 209.83 is the top of its, it's not the top, it is its TD9 count breakdown resistance level. Now, you can get a buy the deep point pattern this week inside of Boeing on the weekly basis. Just needs a bullish reversal candle. And at the present time, that is a bull sash. And the monthly chart point right back to profile support between 181.21 and 191.24. We'll be right back.

Nicholas, we take a look at Halliburton a couple of days ago formed by the D point pattern. Price is trading by the top of its daily profile above its green asset and change line. That's at 40, 60 and 40, 77 respectively. Price should continue to move higher out there and probably wants to go target. It's recent high, that's the high from back in September 19. And that's in the range of, go anywhere from a low of 4107 up to the 4315 level. If we take a look at the weekly timeframe chart, you've got just a consolidation with inside its weekly profile. Price found support at the bottom of that last week at 3824. So just a consolidation between that and 4260. On a monthly timeframe, price is trading with inside its profile. Resistance is at 4141. That is the top of its bearish structured profile. A monthly close above that would be a bullish outcome. But really what you wanna see here is, well really just close above that would be off to a good start. Next request coming in from S&P wants to take a look at the GDX. Now the GDX out here, what do we have? I don't have any reason to suggest that this is not gonna have higher out there. You're above, you've got a TD9 count bottom. Looks like it wants to make a move to 2864, maybe 2897 out there. We've got a request to take a look at UNG. And they're looking for an entry into UNG. We won't look at UNG. We'll take a look at the natural gas contract. We know that price found resistance on a daily basis at that TD9 count breakdown level. That's up at $3.43. Out here, if you're looking for an entry into the UNG, I'd wait for natural gas to pull back and test support. And that would be down at about $3.12 cents to 308. So that's what I'd be waiting for there, Joe. Folks, thanks so much for all the requests out there. It really makes the show go smoother. At least it does for Stevie. Thanks for joining me. Have a wonderful Wednesday, and I'll see you tomorrow on terrific Thursday. Be safe out there. Take care.

Let's go! How's it going everybody? Datotoe here back with another round of Dragon Ball Fighters, Rank Matches, this time playing a team with all ASSIS Bardock, Piccolo, and UI Goku. And we're going up against the Pride Trooper Captain Ginyu players, so this is pretty sick.  The delivery on that line was pretty funny to me. Alright we don't need to see Bardock's intro. We've been seeing that. It's a tale as old as time to be completely honest with you. Okay we're getting attacked. Why are they launching a full-scale Ginyu Force attack right now? Alright stop that. Alright I ran away from that one. Where are his Ginyu Force members? Did anybody else see that? It was like he was just pretending he had friends. It was just a stone cold. Nobody was coming out. Alright I wanted to switch out but I won't. I'm not even gonna side switch. Let's be honest. We're just gonna take a level 3 here. I'm gonna take a level 3 just because I mean you know he's got that he's got the health. I'm just gonna run up and try to try to grab it. No I was I jumped. The run-up was too good. Man you would have thought I was competing in the long jump event. Accidentally missed the dash and that was it. I was 30 feet over his head. How did Bardock get back? Alright he switched me in. Or did I switch in Bardock? You know what? We're gonna move past that. I don't remember what happened. Alright let me get this sliding real quick Captain Ginyu. Oh DP assist but I gotta put Frieza back in his place. Let's go. I'll take it. You gotta be kidding me. Alright that's a kill. And yes I do. I think I see a dramatic finish possibility. I don't know if we're gonna get it. We're gonna put Bardock back in since Frieza's already dead but if it if it's if it's available I'll remember to make it happen. I'll try anyway. Oh he let up his guard right there too. I just didn't expect to get hit. I was gonna go for the dragon rush play.  Right gotta remember that that knocks him a little higher than expected. Oh no. Alright. Oh nice. Yeah we we know you we know you got friends bro. Quit flexing on the rest of us. Back into the quarter. Alright run run from the piccolo assist it's not gonna help us here. He should be dead here actually. I'm just gonna do this right now in case do we let Bardock come out to play? Let me let Bardock out. Do I have to aim it up? Nah we're good. We're good. Always panic. Always panic after DHC from that super. Alright. Jump. Jump. XDP we're dead if he wants us to be. He does want us to be. We're gonna get planted. Somewhere on a local asteroid there was a Bardock tree growing and unfortunately I'm not happy with the results. I'm gonna walk through this key but oh that was not a key blast. You know what bro if you're gonna hit me. Oh no. I've kicked do it. No. I'm playing too bad. I gotta stop trying to look for a counter. I gotta play normally. That's a lot of damage. I'm gonna spark. There we go. That should be good. Unless piccolo assist. Whoo. It was so close to ruining our day but we actually do pick up game one. That piccolo assist almost ruined it. Alright. You know we gotta try to get this dramatic finish.  At least not until it's like the third round and then maybe I'll maybe my brain will will kick in there and I'll have to I'll have to go around it but for now we're just gonna see what happens.  I'll take that. I'll take that as well. I was gonna do the corner route but I don't have any assist so seems a little it strikes me as a little pointless. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Crazy how a guard cancel was coming. Nice dude. Missed. Dropped it. We got getting you back in. You were stalking to me. Let's go. Give me that 6M. I'm a level 3 at every time. Alright. So now freezes very low and in the back slot so I'm just thinking about it dude. No vanishing. Really. I 2H a little too early. Pickle assist is so powerful. I feel like people just all like I feel like everybody plays this game differently unless there's a piccolo assist on the screen in which case everybody plays at the exact same. Really afraid and not wanting to move. Alright come on. I need to get. I really need to get getting you back out man. It was bothering me. That blue health for some reason was really getting to me. Alright. Burder assist is gone. He does still have access to the purple common attack but we're not gonna let him have that either.  I thought that would kill switch. Boom. Did not miss that one. And guess who's coming right back in. It's getting you a clock baby. I got I got getting you for a scheduled appointment three o'clock. Let me take him out. Well now we just get cooler. If we just get cooler this is about to be so sick. I'm running the block nice. Oh that would have been so much damage. No I didn't block. He didn't do it. He didn't even DPS. I guess it's okay. Switch sides. Get him into that corner play that play the UI game about as best as we can. Take a little assist just for the love to see it. It is time. I'm about to get revenge for all of my sayings. I think he knows we're coming. I think he knows we're coming. I think he knows we're coming. I don't know what to do here honestly. Switch. All right now we got to we got to play neutral but make it look like we're playing. Oh I do this for you.   I got to block this. It just ripped off the bandana. That was sick. I'm going to get I'm going to get beaten up right now. The way he rematch that was like that one felt aggressive. That was sick. That was so sick. What I feel like I just caught a real life power boost. Nice play. Nice play. I'm liking Piccolo season three man. I might have to. I might have to learn me some Piccolo. Oh no. That was so sick. All right. I got to focus on to do when a dramatic finish happens. I only think about the dramatic finish. Like I would just go from so like such a dramatic scene to just normal ranked matches. We're just back to it again. I'm just going to take a dragon rush here. Take a look at this. Stop. Oh dude. Did I mess up? Okay. We're good. Burder just gets folded by everything that comes at him for some reason. My turn. Oh let's go. I'm all the way over here. We are all the way over here. Now I will take that. Okay. The punches were unnecessary. You I go to. I will admit the punches did not strike me as being incredibly necessary role. Oh. It's a flex game.  Roll. That one. That one. That one was good. Man. I'm just I'm unfocused now. I'm dead. My mind is definitely trailing off. I'm very happy that happened. Oh. Talk to me. Talk to me. Love to see it. Yes. Just give it all to me. Just let me handle all of it. My guard cancel on that. Let's let Bardock do the talking. Bardock do some talking. Would you take it away my man? I wish there was a dramatic finish with Bardock and cooler. Why do I miss that so much on on recording? I don't know what causes me to do that. I swear I can hit that. Okay. I'll see you over here. I'll see you when I see you. All right. See you. I'm dead. Well never mind. I was making those noise. I was the sound effects so I could be you know. It would be funny when I woke up level three. But then he hit a level three. For some reason I didn't look at his bar. I was exclusively looking at mine. All right. This calls for new tech. Oh no. No dude. Oh that worked. Okay. Do we spark here? I'm actually playing super sloppy. I'm a spark. Nice. That should be good. Let me hit you with all of this. Pick a low. All right. Well that was a very short video but I am increasingly happy with that.  Thank you guys so much for watching this one all the way to the end.

Our next presenter is Karla Viegas from the Language Technologies Institute. Our title is Machine Learning Frameworks for Stuttering Prediction. This man on the picture is Lewis Carroll. He's the author of Alice in Wonderland, this beautiful story that most of us know. However, I think probably few know that his initial dream was to become a priest. He had to give up this dream because of a speech impediment. Lewis Carroll was a stutterer. Giving up a dream because of stuttering, why would you do that? Most of us have no idea how much of a burden it can be to live a life with stuttering. Stutters feel ashamed because they're not able to speak as everybody else. They encounter incomprehension from others and are often viewed as less intelligent, although that's not true. You might think that giving this talk here or having a job interview is challenging, but for stutters even ordering food can be challenging. There is no cure for stuttering. There are only techniques that can be learned to speak more fluently. And there are 3 million Americans who stutter. The causes are not known, but the probable factors are genetics or social and family environments. However, what we know is that there is a close relationship between emotions and stuttering. Self-assessment studies reveal that if stutters have a negative attitude towards the own stuttering, stuttering severity is increased. So this was studied with the self-assessment studies, but it was not studied with objective measurements, which is what I want to tackle during my PhD. So my initial goal is to measure the relationship of emotions and the stuttering frequency using machine learning techniques. For this, I designed an experiment in which I will expose stutters to different levels of stress and also different emotions. During this experiment, I will be recording audio, video and physiological signals. Those will then be analyzed by two different frameworks, as you can see here. One to detect the emotion and the other one to detect the stuttering severity. The next step would then be to see if it is even possible to predict stuttering. This could be extremely cool if combined with a biofeedback system, which we can imagine to be, for example, a smartwatch. So through the smartwatch, we could measure all day long physiological signals and also analyze the audio using machine learning models. This combined with a biofeedback system that can be, for example, a vibration could remind the stutterer to use the fluency techniques whenever they are about to stutter. This has been so far quite challenging for me because there's not much data available and also not much prior work approaching this problem from the computational perspective. However, the outcome that can change the life quality of stutterers is so significant that this keeps me motivated and also continuing, even though there's not much resources, because it can give freedom to stutterers to follow their dream, even if they stutter. Thank you very much.


All right. Thank you. Okay, so welcome everyone. Thank you for coming today to open education through an ethics of care and justice. For a brief introduction, my name is Kristen lands down my pronouns are she her, and I'm currently the diversity resident librarian for open educational resources at the University of Wisconsin Madison. I completed my master's in library and information science in 2019 at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. And my master's education in counseling in 2017 and my bachelor of arts and both psychology and women agenda studies in 2014 at the Paul University in Chicago which is my hometown. So my women's gender studies concentration was race class and gender. So my knowledge is informed by my educational background and my experience as a school counselor librarian and identifying as a black feminist. So the idea for this presentation came from reading this quote from Audrey waters from her 2015 2014 talk at open con that reads, we need an ethics of care of justice not simply to assume that open does the work of those for us. And I'm a member of sigma gamma roast already incorporated which is one of the nine historically black sororities and fraternities. And when I was joining my sorority always tell us to remember our why, and that it would be important to always come back to our why over the course of our lifetime and membership. And so this presentation is kind of a compilation of thoughts I've had about finding a new why to underscore my work in open education. I'm going to start with a brief introduction to the foundational concepts of black feminism. We're going to talk about what is black feminism and what distinguishes black feminism from other feminisms. And we're going to go over the combined river collective and statement and Patricia hill Collins black feminist thoughts. So the combined river collective was a black feminist lesbian social organization that was active in Boston, Massachusetts from 1974 to 1980. The collective's name is in reference to what was essentially a military mission that Harriet Tubman Tubman led in 1863, called the combined river raid that was in South Carolina. Harriet Tubman freed more than 750 enslaved people and was the first and only military mission led by a woman during the American Civil War. The combined river statement is a cornerstone of black feminism. The major points outlined in the statement include identity politics, meaning that the writers felt that black women's issues were not being prioritized and other movements. So they felt it necessary to focus on their own specific oppression and felt a solidarity with other black women in their community. They acknowledged multiple oppression stating that they found it difficult to separate race class and sex, because they experienced them simultaneously. To the concept of intersectionality, the term that was coined by Kimberly Crenshaw in 1989 to explain how various social identities intersect to create unique experiences of oppression.    They also rejected the lesbian separatism of earlier feminist movements and considered biological determinism a dangerous and reactionary politic. The group also valued collectiveness and a non hierarchical power distribution in their organization, which they felt mirrored the vision that they had for a revolutionary society. So they started in study groups to discuss issues and wanted to create black feminist publications to distribute and teach others. Next we'll talk about black feminist thoughts, which was originally published in 1990, with the second edition coming out 10 years later in 2000. It's a foundational text for black feminism. In it Collins writes that the experience of being a black woman shapes the consciousness of black women resulting in a collective wisdom and knowledge, which she's a standpoint to me knowledge here. She also recognizes that black women are not a monolith and don't share a universal experience, because we share common challenges but experience black womanhood and varying ways. There's different ways of engaging with black feminism, which will quite see the S on there, because there are different types of feminisms.  Colin talks about intellectual labor and that black feminist thought is created both within and outside of academia, making this feminism accessible across social identities. Black feminist thought and black feminist practice are dynamic and changing as social conditions change. So they're constantly evolving.  In her book talking back thinking feminists thinking black, bell hooks writes when Audrey Lord made that much quoted yet often misunderstood cautionary statement warning us that the master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. She was urging us to remember what we must that we must engage in a process of visionary thinking that transcends the ways of knowing privileged by the oppressive powerful, if we are to truly make revolutionary change. I want to hear the part about ways of knowing that are privileged by the oppressive powerful because we'll come back to this a little bit later. So I mentioned in my introduction that I have a master's in counseling. And so all mental health professionals work from a theoretical orientation which is their philosophy on working with clients. One way that we conceptualize this in our education is through what's called the ways paradigm, which was a coin termed in 2000 by Sharon Cheston. During our educational training and throughout working with clients counselors are encouraged to continuously reflect on our theoretical orientations. And so that is where these three kind of frameworks come into play. So way of being is related to the counselor's presence with you in the space. So thinking about body language how they convey active listening what their setting boundaries looks like how they express empathy and how they use eye contact way of understanding is about how counselors understand human development personality theory, how humans change consciousness and unconsciousness and more. And then way of intervening refers to the techniques skills and treatments that your counselor uses and working with you. So we're going to take a look at how the following concepts and practices can be applied to open education, using the ways paradigm to organize the information. And this is how my brain works basically. So we're going to take the black feminist foundation, and then more the contemporary black feminist stuff, and then plug it into different ways of understanding being an intervening in open ed. So how can black feminism inform open educational practice. We're going to start by looking at a few definitions of open education. It defines open education as encompassing resources tools and practices that are free of legal financial and technical barriers, and can be fully used shared and adapted in the digital environment. They say that open educational resources or are the foundation of open education. The open education consortium has a similar definition, but state that the resources tools and practices that employ a framework of open sharing improve educational access and effectiveness worldwide. The Office of Educational Technology believes that educational opportunities should be available to all learners. Their definition also states that creating an open education ecosystem involves making learning materials data and educational opportunities available without restrictions imposed by copyright laws access barriers or exclusive proprietary systems that lack interoperability and limit the free exchange of information. So the thoughts that I've been having around defining open education are that sometimes I see, you know, equity diversity inclusion and accessibility mentioned as the benefits of open. And the definitions typically do mention access and barriers, but what if the foundation of open education wasn't OER but it was justice. I mean, Adrian Marie Brown wrote a blog post that said emergent strategy is strategy, a plan towards a goal based in the science of emergence, the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions, rather than laying out big strategic work. The invitation of emergent strategy is to come together in community, build authentic relationships and see what emerges from the conversations connections, visions and needs. Adrian's book emergent strategy outlines nine principles of emergent strategy. So it's interesting that Adrian uses the science of emergent to emergence to frame her work, because the open education definition from the Office of educational technology talks about an open education ecosystem. So I have not been in a science class in a minute, so I had to go to Encyclopedia Britannica real quick to look up the definition of ecosystem. And so they define it as the complex of living organisms, their physical environment and all their relationships in a particular unit of space. And so I think that these principles provide a new way of understanding to build this open ecosystem. So the principles are that small is good, small is all. The large is a reflection of the small. Change is constant, be like water. There's always enough time for the right work. There is a conversation in the room that only these people in this moment can have find it. Never a failure, always a lesson. Trust the people. If you trust the people, they become trustworthy. Move at the speed of trust and focus on critical connections more than critical mass, build the resilience by building the relationships. And so you have more presence and what you pay attention to grows. Next, I want to talk about Maryam Kaba's book. We do this till we free us abolitionist organizing and transforming justice. Maryam Kaba is a renowned prison abolitionist and organizer in the chapter joined the abolitionist movement, which is an interview with rebel steps. And if you declare yourself an abolitionist, you're making a few basic commitments. She says abolition calls for the elimination of policing imprisonment and surveillance surveillance. It rejects the expansion and legitimization of all acts, all aspects of the prison industrial complex, including surveillance, policing and imprisonment of all sorts. She says premature death and abandonment. She goes on to say that you can advocate for radical reform around these areas without defining yourself as an abolitionist, but in order to avoid cooptation. She really holds the line on those court commitments, if you were to call yourself an abolitionist. So, basically, I'm not here to tell you to become an abolitionist. That's outside of my scope of practice. These beliefs and practices from abolitionists I think can be applied to open education. In this quote, Maryam Kaba talks about abolition as a vision of a restructured society in a world where we have everything we need. Food, shelter, education, health, art, beauty, clean water, and more things that are foundational to our personal and community safety. Kaba often reinforces the importance of collective care, accountability and responsibility, and encourages us to try many small experiments and makes the connection between the prison industrial complex and systems of oppression including capitalism, patriarchy and white supremacy. I hardly believe that open educational, open education practitioners can dismantle these systems through open education alone, but Kaba's emphasis on collective responsibility gives us guidance for moving toward justice. A few of the quotes that I pulled from the book say, she was a human being and restoring our awareness of the humanity of prisoners is a crucial step toward undoing the harms of mass incarceration. And there she was speaking about the death of a woman prisoner in custody. I don't believe in self care, I believe in collective care, collectivizing our care and thinking more about how we can help each other. I personally believe in self care but I think that this is a really good, you know, example of what she means when she talks about collective care. Leah Hartman remarked that care is the antidote to violence. Her words offer a potentially powerful feminist frame for abolition. Effective defense campaigns provide thousands of people with opportunities to demonstrate care for criminalized individuals through various tactics including letter writing, financial support, prison visits and more. Next, Leah Lakshmi Pyechna Shimashina is a queer disabled film writer, organizer, performance artist and educator who wrote the book Care Work, Dreaming Disability Justice from her bed. They talk about disability justice in ways that I think able-bodied folks can also use to build a new way of being when it comes to open education. Leah writes in regard to emergency care webs that people start, emergency care webs that people start when they, when an able-bodied person experiences a temporary disability. So like maybe they broke their leg or broke an ankle or broke their arm. They write that these models have a lot to learn from disability justice models of centering sustainability, slowness and building for the long haul. This is also important because many people doing work in open education are disabled, chronically ill, neurodiverse are living with mental illnesses. I myself am in a number of those categories. And so in Tema Okun's 1999 document about white supremacy culture characteristics in organizations, they write that one white supremacy characteristic is urgency. And so we can and should slow down and take the time to build towards our goals. Leah also writes that one quality of disability justice culture is its beauty and practicality. They write that poetry and dance are as valuable as a blog post about access hacks. And that this goes back to what the Bell Hooks quote earlier about what types of knowledge are privileged. So what types of knowledge are privileged. So are we just privileging textbooks or things that are considered scholarly versus what about an OER that is written by the group on campus that is run by disabled students where they create a guidebook that is for new transferring incoming students about access hacks on their campus. Okay. So we've gone through all of that information. How can we connect these values concepts and theories to open education. So I'm building a new understanding of open. For me justice is the foundation. From there we can incorporate all of the nine emergent strategy principles I think are good underlying ways of understanding. So experiment fail learn sometimes other people's fear of failure holds you back from trying new things and having the opportunity to even fail so that you can learn. You could also have a successful endeavor but you'll never know because other people are fearful of fail of failure. So it's important to try to build a culture where you know failure is a lesson and it's not something to be viewed negatively. Collectiveness is a common thread throughout this presentation from various feminist thinkers. And I told someone the other day I asked you know they asked me where would I recommend that faculty start with OER. And one of the things that I said was like they don't have to go it alone like they don't have to do this all by themselves that they can find co-authors and editors through places like the Rebus community or they can tap into colleagues in their department. And I myself can provide support around you know some of the more like technical pieces but also to help them build a community of practice so that they're able to you know connect with other colleagues who are doing similar work. But it's not just authors who need support you know folks working in open need support too. So I have a fantastic team with my supervisor who's the director of scholarly communications and the curricular content librarian. And then we also have an open education working group. So it makes things feel a lot less overwhelming especially as someone who's a diversity resident librarian which means that my term is limited for three years.  So being flexible to change, because it's going to happen. Anyone that's in meetings with me is probably like girl. But there's so many times where we talk about like professors or faculty or instructors that are resistant to change. And my answer is always like, we're changing though. So I'm not going to be catering to this like need to you know stay in the past. We're changing and you know you got to come along for the ride are you going to be left behind. So, you know, I think that that is a real, real value to to bring into open at all times. So, small as all is another really important concept for me. I had a staff member in another department they were putting on an event about open educational resources and I emailed to ask if I could speak at it. And, you know, one of the things he told me was he wasn't sure if it was worth my time because you know they don't get a lot of people that come like maybe less than 10. I was like that's perfect. I love any amount of people that could be one person there and I'm coming. So, you know, trying to talk about we are at a research one institution, anyone that's there. That's great for me. So, you know, small is all for me like I can do an event for two people and that is fine, building slowly and building with a small group that can then go out and spread that is a value for me. I also think that it's related a bit to the white supremacy characteristic that's outlined by a coon of progress is bigger or more, and that quantity over quality is always best. And we know that those things are not true. So for a way of being so if you remember this is how we are with our people in our open ecosystem using patients. So your instructors and maybe you as well may live with chronic illness be disabled be mentally ill neurodiverse, have patients and resist that pull of urgency and sometimes the urgency that administration or other department heads are putting on you. I think I mentioned that I'm chronically ill I have mental health issues. I'm neurodiverse ADHD. So like sometimes things are getting really in the weeds. So, you know, I have to have patients with myself and that's a good thing to practice because then you can extend it to others. Start with trust, building individual relationships begins with trust, giving people the benefit of the doubt and believing in people from the start. There's a quote from Miriam Kaba in her book about how she trust people until they prove themselves to be untrustworthy. I think that's a really good place to start. There's I feel like a lot of people when they're in a position for a really long time and then you come in as a new person, you may be hearing like lots of negativity or you know things that can be really that can really like lessen your drive because you're like I that doesn't sound like I want to work with this person. But if you start with trust, then you can get really far and I've had that happen at other workplaces and have had great luck with just like trusting the people right off the bat and listening to, you know, whatever negative opinions that people have about whatever other department. Transforming justice. Transforming justice doesn't rely on carceral logics to address harm. And this includes punishment, isolation and policing, and it seeks to address the root causes influencing why someone may have caused harm and uses a community accountability process to address this harm. I'm not saying that you have to run a community accountability process because that's a lot of work, but I think that if you use this as like a core framework. For instance, I'm having student authors who I paid $200 each to write about their experiences being black indigenous people of color with intersecting identities at UW Madison. And a couple of students, you know, I had them sign mo use and a couple of students haven't submitted their first drafts, which were do a minute ago, and they did not come to like the peer review session.  And I really want to you come from a transformative justice space and think about like, Okay, what other things may be going on. You know, communication communicating with them which I have done, but you know doing it some more and seeing if there's a way that I can help to get them to be able to submit their essays for this reader empathy, which just means to be able to share the feelings of another. So, you know, really understanding the challenges that instructors face around we are like, you can definitely get those experiences and use those for like data or reports or things like that. But I think really truly understanding how they feel about those challenges is important as well. Then here is the doing which is the intervening the way of intervening. So these are just a few ideas about what we talked about being applied practically. Using OER to center marginalized voices, whether they be students, faculty, staff or community members, how can you commit to publishing OER that centers marginalized other than silence voices. How can you advocate to bring these voices into the classroom using OER. We know from black feminist thought that intellectual labor is performed outside of academia at the intersection of where theory meets practice. How can your institution connect with community organizations. Now you're being proactive about publishing OER that can be beneficial to the community. In care work, I mentioned the quote where Leah talks about disability justice as beautiful and practical from poetry and dance being as valuable as a blog about access hacks. How do you privilege certain types of knowledge is the written word held in the highest regard despite the deep history of oral storytelling for some indigenous communities. If you want to care look at who is in your open education ecosystem. How do you care for them. Can you support TAs in a fight for a new contract. Do your student authors need groceries delivered. Do they need dinner. Do they need a referral to mental health resources on campus. Not least, does your institution have a program that teaches incarcerated students. How can you help advocate against censorship in prison, especially since this is directly connected to open education and open knowledge. And thinking about how Kaba emphasizes the importance of restoring our awareness of the humanity of prisoners. How might you be able to use OER to humanize incarcerated students and how can you elevate their voices using OER. So this presentation, I just wanted to acknowledge my black women gender studies professors at DePaul University. I don't think any of them are there anymore, but from them I learned black feminism as my foundational feminism I like never learned another one. And I want to thank that we hear community for black indigenous people of color library workers, because we had a community study of maybe like a couple months ago that ended in August. And it was a community study on contemporary abolitionist feminisms and I was a group facilitator for one of the groups. And that was where I've read. Until we free us and a few other books we were beyond survival and Angela Davis is our prisons obsolete. And that is where I started to think more deeply about how abolition concepts can relate to open education. And then I just want to thank queer trans disabled black indigenous and people of color scholars organizers activists and authors whose theory and practice and form my work in open education every day. Thank you. I'll stop sharing. If I can, if I can figure out how to stop. Okay. Thank you Kristen we have about 10 minutes left. So do you want to have some conversation. I think people loved your framework. I know I did. Yay. I'm just now getting to the chat so the slides are up on they were they I put them up like literally five minutes before. So they are up now as a PDF. And if anyone has accessibility issues with them because I'm not sure about how PDFs work from Canva. Let me know, you can like message me on LinkedIn or DM me on Twitter or something, and I'll make sure that an accessible version gets put up. More on the value of patience and resisting urgency. Oh, my Twitter handle is that's my Twitter. Okay, so reflecting more on the value of patience and resisting urgency. So, I think that it's something that I've definitely had to do because like I mentioned I'm a diversity resident so like I have a three year limitation.  In a pandemic hit. I literally started August 2019 I moved to Madison from Chicago in August 2019 and then six months later a pandemic hit. And also in December of 2020 was when I got my ADHD diagnosis which was a very long time coming. And so it really just like I saw a post from an ADHD Instagram account that I followed that was talking about radical acceptance and kind of like, I think that that is like maybe the one of the foundations of patients is like radically accepting like this is how this is right now. It's okay. Maybe I do want to change it, but it's going to take time. And like, then you can actually step back and start thinking more critically about the steps of how you can change it. Instead of, you know, really trying to rush through and like, like, okay, well let's do this right now like we got to get this out by the end of the week it's like, I can't do that it's just not possible, especially with, you know, being chronically ill. It's just going to push you over the edge and you don't you don't need that. What was the draw that brought you from counseling to librarianship. Well, that's such a great question so ever since I was in. So I went to DePaul University, which is the Vincentian school and so one of the first courses we take is like discover or explore class and so I took a class that was about poverty in Chicago, and I learned so so much and I learned about why the school that transferred from had so many resources versus the one I transferred to. And so from then on I decided I wanted to be a school counselor. So I went all the way through undergrad wanting to be a school counselor it was my entire goal, and I started working at my university's library, my sophomore year of college. And I worked there all the way through my master's in school counseling, and I was in my last year of my school counseling degree doing my internship, which was unpaid 30 hours a week during the daytime so I had to work like 25 hours in the evening, just to like make a living.  And then I finally decided like, I'm doing this I think I really want this and so I applied for a spectrum scholarship, and I got it. And then I applied for you have I because you have I covers tuition for spectrum scholars in full. And you know I just did a master's so I really did not have the money to do another one. So, I got into you have I and that's how I started my journey as a librarian. Thank you. It's time for probably one more question and there's one more in the chat. And then we need to wrap up at 12 for 25. Thanks. Yeah, so the question is will you speak to how best to invite the participation of people from marginalized groups at a PWI, where those same folks are already constantly called on for things like diversity representation. I, that is one of the main reasons why I applied for a grant from our division of diversity, educational equity educational attainment, and I got it so I got a grant for $5,000, and I paid all of our students $200 to participate. And so I think that if you, I just thought that it was really important because I know that students are often called to do so much work. And so putting out a call for proposals, you know, paying students $200.  It also had some benefits as far as like there was a writing, there's a narrative writing workshop, and there was a peer review workshop so they can get experienced seeing what like a peer review process was like. So those, there were also some added benefits to that so I think if you're able to, you know, really show that you value their time their intellectual labor. And you can also offer things that are beneficial to them, not just to, you know, you as the open education person then I think that that's a good way to do outreach. But also maybe partner, if you have centers, multicultural centers, you can partner with them and think through some ideas as well. I don't see any more questions in the chat. Thank you all so much for coming. I'm going to stop the recording now if anybody wants to hang around if Professor lambs down which I'm still going to call you professor even though you told me not to. If anybody wants to stick around you guys are welcome to but the recording is stopping now.
