It's Harry Haas here, and today I'm going to be doing a video on how I study. This has been a video that has been requested a lot, and I've been getting messages from a lot of people asking me about how I study, what have I done to become more consistent, what videos have I watched, is there a secret magic formula? There's really not, but I just wanted to make a video that was requested and that I had a lot of demand for. Once again, I'm not a financial advisor. This is not financial advice, even if it seems like financial advice purely for entertainment purposes. With that, I'm just going to dive right in. Basically, what I did was I made a pie chart of like everything that I do every week, every month. I go over my months as a whole, but this is what I'm working on week to week. What I'm doing is I'm tracking setups, I'm reading the tape, I'm watching the MIC videos, I'm paying attention to the market trends, journaling my trades, and I also do a little bit of reverse split tracking, which we'll also get into. These are all things that I do throughout the week, and I just thought I'd make a pie chart so that you guys can understand, and I'm going to go through each of them individually so you guys can kind of see. Number one, tracking setups. The reason why I didn't want to go deep into tracking setups is because Joe has a lot of good videos on this, so if you're wondering about tracking setups, you can watch videos like these down below. Joe does a way better job than I could, and he also goes through a great deal of data system tracking, patterns, finding an entry and exit signal, and I think all those are really important. It doesn't really have to do with my studying, but we do the same sort of thing, so I think that if you just watch these videos, you can kind of get a feel for what I'm talking about. So basically, for me tracking setups, whether it's the first bounce or pre-market long, which I'll probably end up doing a video on later in kind of like my video series, I basically spend a lot of time tracking setups and seeing what's working in the market.  Like I remember that we were in a market last March for, you know, kind of till April or May, and we were getting a first bounce every single day.   These are all things that you can do, you know, to kind of progress your trading career along. We have a lot of, you know, great videos on this at MIC, but you know, if you are the type of personality kind of like I am, where if I if I want to learn a setup like, let's say first bounce, you know, I want to reverse engineer that as much as I can. And I want to find the, you know, entries and exit signals that work for me best, you know, rather than just kind of watching the video and going like, okay, I'm going to play this tomorrow, you know, I have the type of personality where I need to practice something where I need to go over the data just like this. And this is where you can kind of use Joe's videos to, you know, kind of do what you want. And, you know, you can experiment on something that you've been seeing a whole lot. And, you know, you can track and see if there's really an edge there. So, you know, that's something that I also spend a lot of time on, you know, I don't really spend as much time throughout the week on this, but I did like when I was first starting, I spent a great amount of time on this sort of stuff. So, yeah, I think tracking setups is really important. Um, journaling my trades, this has been a big factor of how I've, you know, became consistent and, you know, how I kind of found my own edge. Basically, what I found for me, anyway, was that a lot of my losses were coming on me trying to long the backside of the stock.  But what was happening was that the stock was already on the backside. So, we might get like a 10 cent bounce from, you know, 250, maybe to 255, but every pop would get sold into because it was on the backside. And so, what I did was I printed out all my charts, I printed out everything, I was saying, you know, what am I doing that's so wrong. And what I noticed was that the majority of my wins came from stocks on the front side, stocks that hadn't made a clear top yet. And the majority of my losses came from stocks that had made a clear top and every pop was kind of getting sold. So, I mean, as a short seller, you can say, okay, I'm going to wait for the top and short the pops. And as a long trader, you're going to say, I'm going to long the, you know, the uptrend. And that's what I kind of started doing was I just started trying to purely long the front side. And I wanted to, if I was a short seller, I'd look to short the backside after a top is mined, just like, you know, everyone does in MIC anyway. But, you know, it's hard when you're a long trader because you can see these stocks rip on the backside.  I should have been in that move.   And when they're on the backside, I avoid and I watched the price action. And, you know, that's kind of been helpful for me. So anyway, I just thought that I just, you know, put that in my two cents what I got out of journaling my trades. Unless it's like certain setups with like low float and the zombie moves, like I've talked about before in my videos. So on the backside and, you know, it's like a 30 40 mil float, probably not going to be the best long for you. But yeah, I wrote here, you know, keeping track of how I'm trading. That's a big part too. You know, if you're losing a lot of times on the first bounce, well, maybe the first bounce isn't really hot in this market. So, you know, there's been there's been times where, you know, last summer where we weren't getting a lot of volume in the market. And I was like, Oh, you know, this could be a first bounce. This could be a first bounce. But, you know, because we weren't getting a lot of volume and because of the types of setups, you know, those setups weren't really working as much. So I just kind of eliminated them and said, OK, when this starts to work again, I'm going to take trades on them. And, you know, that's where it comes in. What setups have been working the best for me? Have I been making the majority of my money on zombie reclaims? Is that a hot pattern right now? Or have I been making, you know, the majority of my money on a pre market long or a first bounce or, you know, stuff like that. So I'm always journaling, you know, what am I making the most money on right now, this month, last month, the month before? And how can I adapt and get better? So that is the end of this video.

What's up everybody and welcome to another edition of the Falcons final whistle podcast We're coming to you from Jacksonville, Florida after the Atlanta Falcons beat the Jaguars 21 to 14 in an absolutely half to frickin have it Opportunity to end a two-game losing streak win a game and stay in the NFC playoff picture The Falcons did exactly that with this 21 to 14 victory that got a little close at the end But it still counts as a W. That's really all that matters and in this fun Falcons final whistle podcast Which I am Scott Bayer and as always joined by Tori McElaney and Chris rim and we're going to talk about Cordero Patterson coming back We are going to talk about The running game waking up how this defense did and we are as we always do we are going to look forward and see What the Falcons have to do next to stay in the mix So Tori with all of that being said what was your big takeaway from this game? Which the Falcons kind of controlled and then lost control right yeah I think and we'll get into all of this in more detail but for me it really was seeing Cordero Patterson come back into the fold and not just come back into the fold but to Play the way that he did and have the day that he did because I think it would be one thing if the Falcons would have brought him back and Like he doesn't do anything But he comes back and has this really dynamic performance that it really showcased why this offensive operation needs him so much Yeah, I mean clearly the MVP there Chris rim. Well, what was your big takeaway from this one? I Think sorry to do the same thing, but I think I would say the same I think the way Cordero played and it was clear that he was at least the way it looked It didn't look like he was a hundred percent like almost every play he was Limping at times, but he was so explosive and you could just tell the difference between what we saw You know against the Patriots versus and the way the offense will really last two games and the difference He makes you know in the offense, so I thought he was my biggest takeaway Yeah, and we're going to talk a lot more about CP as we move through this podcast But before we do let's give a big thank you to our sponsor Microsoft Windows 11 the official operating system of the NFL And the Atlanta Falcons the all-new Windows 11 is here to bring you closer to what you love like this Falcons final whistle podcast Learn about all the awesome new features of Windows 11 at windows.com And we are starting quarter number one talking about the man of the hour Evening afternoon Cordero Patterson was just awesome Tori his his numbers were pretty pretty great in his first game back. Yeah, they were I mean, I'm just kind of looking at him right now But 16 carries 108 yards an average of 6.8 yards a carry, which I think that is that number to me is really huge I mean, it's one thing to go 100 yards in a game, but to average almost seven yards per carry I think is really big and the fact that he makes up such a large chunk of what the overall Rushing attack was the Falcons finished the night with 149 rushing yards and Cordero Patterson is 108 of those yards and I just and even then like he even had two catches for 27 yards I mean, this is somebody who Arthur Smith said at best I think after the game where he said he just adds another Element to what we can do and Keith Smith after the game said it changes the way that defenses look at us as an offense And I think that's so Important when you're talking about who the Falcons are as an offensive operation and they are not the same team With Cordero Patterson as they are without him And I think we have seen that come kind of full full circle as an entire dialogue Looking at what they were against the Patriots versus now what we saw them do against Jacksonville So I think like when you're talking about this offense you can't not talk about Cordero Patterson And I think I've said before and I've written it before like he is if there's a spark plug for this offense It's Cordero Patterson. Yeah, I mean he was just incredible and in his post-game press conference The man's future so bright. He's got to wear shades. He didn't even take them off and he was Enjoying the moment. Yeah, that's fair to say and I think you should yeah he has every right to be confident and to be proud of what he was able to do and there was a Prevailing question to a lot of people that that took the podium after this victory And it's what kind of an impact does Cordero Patterson half? Well, I mean duh a huge one, but he was even asked that and he's like hey You know like I'm a big part of this offense and he didn't even return kicks He's just become an offensive weapon and just to see how much of a spark he gives them how much of an added element that he gives It really stood out. It's funny because I'm looking at the quote right now And he said his quote was I'm a big part of this offense That's a no-brainer man from the outside looking in you can see that like I've all told you before I love it here I mean that's a great quote and he and he's talking about here meaning Atlanta And I think you can't talk about Cordero Patterson in the year He's had without talking about the way that Arthur Smith has really cracked the Cordero Patterson code Yeah, and he fired off a pretty nice tweet at the end Oh, yeah, saying that I freaking love you Atlanta only he didn't say freaking are we a PG podcast? I think we'd like to keep it. Okay family friendly. Gotcha. Okay, but it's not mandatory Chris you brought up a good point to that. He didn't look 100 percent, right? Does that kind of make you wonder gosh if if he can get back going and this run game can can I get going? Can he do that again as a rusher? What do you think? About what you saw? Yeah, I think I think he definitely can he look I feel like today He also looked a lot more comfortable as a running back than he has before I'm not sure if that's because I don't know if I was seeing things but I just I just feel like he looked comfortable back there and And so explosive and then when you consider the fact that he on multiple place today He was just he was limping and then he called for a substitution at at one point and the way he dominated I think yeah, it's it's it's looking very scary for the future for future defenses that have to Deal with Cordero Patterson and the Falcons It's funny that you say he looks more comfortable And I will add that I feel like a lot of people would look comfortable when you have the space that I think this Offensive line provided that was something that was a very stark difference And I know we'll get into more of the run game as in a whole entire operation In the second quarter, but just from the perspective like they they had room to run Which is something that I feel like we haven't been able to say in a while that they had Significant room they weren't getting hit at the line of scrimmage Which is something that we have seen happen time and time again Especially over the last probably like month and a half Yeah, and and we are gonna dive more into that run game Element as a whole but over the last 20 seconds. I'm just gonna stand on a soapbox and say look We all know it's gonna be tough to extend Patterson every time he has a game like this his price goes up And hey if somebody wanted to offer me the most amount of money I'm gonna look pretty hard at that we all chased the almighty dollar, right? But can the Falcons find a creative way to keep him here? He loves it. He loves Atlanta. He's already said that Arthur Smith as it as you put it has kind of cracked the code What can what he want to go somewhere else where that's not a guarantee, right? Or can they find a way to give him a couple year extension to keep him as Part of this offensive core moving forward. I think that's gonna be a Fascinating storyline to watch as we head towards the offseason And We're sticking with the Falcons ground game over the five minutes of quarter number two talking about How the Falcons run game? Seemed to have its best day at the office against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which coming into this game We're only allowing 3.9 yards per carry They did pretty well Tori being able to to rack up yards Patterson and some of the other backs Yeah, you know you bring up a good point that you know this one I know we're playing the Falcons are playing Jacksonville And there's a lot that can be said about this Jacksonville team, but they were third in the league in run defense That's not something that you can just kind of overlook It doesn't matter how what the the record is if you're looking at a team that's Doing really well in one specific aspect of a game when the Falcons can kind of go out and they averaged about five yards A carry that's really good for this Falcons offense that hasn't been able to do that in Many many games this season I think what's really interesting and this was a storyline that I kind of wrote about post game was We were talking to players and Arthur Smith after the game and something that came up Especially when we're talking to Cordero Patterson was he was talking about how Arthur Smith got on this offense about Essentially challenging them to be better in the run game and he was showing them Keith Smith said that he showed them examples of Moments that they were able to put something together in terms of running the ball and how he challenged them to go out and be better And it was a conversation that they had from Wednesday all the way to Sunday And I think that storyline to me was very very fascinating because I'm sitting here thinking like when I hear Cordero Patterson talking about Will Arthur Smith brought this up to us and when Arthur Smith says something like you listen It's like you know he got all over them Like all over them about running the ball like the loud noises with loud noises and probably words that wouldn't make the PG version of this podcast, but that's coaching. That's Holding your players accountable for like, hey, I know you can do this. We've seen you do it Here are examples of you doing it go out and do it and the fact that they were kind of able especially in that first half to Kind of answer that challenge and I think I think was really Good to see Chris outside of CP. Were there any other? Heroes from from the running game that you thought played a big part in what they were able to do on the ground Well, I mean, I think it was pretty much kind of all But I think if there is any anyone else to look at I thought I thought as a whole everyone looked better but I think in terms of you know finding the I'm kind of gonna skip back to to CP here But I think what would stand out to me when I watch him run the ball And I think maybe it's something you learn as a kick returner But the way he he finds holes In the offensive line the way he burst and got what needed to be the way the way he navigates But when he's running the ball is just different from the other backs with that being said I thought Wayne Gaumann and Mike Davis both looked a lot better than they have, you know all season and Gaumann average almost five yards of carry and Mike a little bit over three So I think the rest the Russian game could definitely continue as the season goes on as long as you know They're able to find those running lanes and as Tory pointed out that the running lanes are there Yeah, I think a point that you made about like CP finding those holes It's also really interesting that when Arthur Smith talks about Cordero Patterson He really talks about the physicality of which he runs with and that's a thing is like when you're watching Cordero Patterson run I remember saying if he can get to his third or fourth step Right is so hard to bring down and he is such a hard runner And I think that we saw that happening throughout the course of this game, which I found very very interesting Yeah, and I think the big question is is this repeatable Arthur Smith said maybe they can do it again Maybe they he didn't say maybe they can't but it's it's kind of open-ended to to do this once helps one win To do this several times can help the Falcons reach their goals because this rushing game has been inefficient Right. So can they do it again? Can they find this spark and and continue it moving forward? I'm not quite sure. Yeah, and that's what Arthur Smith said after the game I thought that was very candid of him to kind of be like, you know, it worked today But we have a whole set of challenges against Tampa next week So it's one of those things where he's even kind of saying like we know we have our work cut out for us in order To find consistency in this area. Yeah, and they're gonna have to find consistency their air attack was a little Iffy and they have to find a way to put everything together offensively because they're gonna have to score more than 21 points if they're gonna stay up with some of the Better teams left on the schedule And we're starting quarter number three on the other side of the football with the Falcons defense which is Looking better. Yes, no doubt and played a significant role Chris rim in this victory Yeah, I think when you are the Smith said post game that I mean he didn't even like emphasize it like a lot Like he doesn't emphasize a lot of things I guess but like a certain cadence in his voice But I thought when he did say that because the Falcons didn't convert a third down late in the fourth quarter And then they gave the ball to the Jaguars with I think just over two minutes left And and he said he was when he was asked about if the third down was important or if he was frustrated by that He kind of just said there was no panic And and and I guess rightfully so because you know the defense stepped up and they perform they they got you know Trevor Lawrence to throw incomplete passes on on four straight downs And I think they've been a bright spot and it's even in in New England's in the lost to New England Ever since that Cowboys game really I think they've turned it. They've turned a page in these past two weeks Even though the scoreboard didn't show it last week They sacked Mac Jones three times AJ to rail had an interception the Ron Harmon got an interception today and Anthony rush Forced to fumble Grady Jarrett is always in the backfield and The defensive line and he while his numbers don't always tell the full story He sets people up to to have mismatches like for example Dante Fowler, you know in a sack today He just frees people up to get one-on-one So I think what we're seeing from this defense is is that it's trending in the right direction at the right time and Next week obviously against the Buccaneers. It'll be a tough test a team that can win in many ways I mean Leonard for now have four touchdowns today. So It'll it'll be tough to it'll be a test for them again next week But as I think the defense is really showing how great they can be as everyone gets adjusted to what DMPs is trying to do Yeah, and Tori, how do you think that? That they're doing with what their defensive coordinator is trying to teach them He said even back to the Philly game. He maybe had to scale some things back and now it's slowly getting rebuilt Yeah, how do you think that they're doing within the scheme? I think that narrative is one of the most fascinating narratives of the entire season for me is you know I'm really y'all know how high up I am on the list of My favorite people Dean pieces is very much up there I may I have no like I make that no secret and the feeling is mutual for those who didn't see the press conference from two weeks ago He specifically said and I quote Tori's my favorite. Yeah, it's because I I The love is mutual and I am super happy about it and I am absolutely gonna get a mug for Christmas It'll be my Christmas present to myself that says Dean's favorite Like you know on the office where it's like world's boss. Yeah, it's gonna say Dean's favorite And I'm gonna hold it up every time he comes in but no I digress one of my favorite storylines of the year is that he said that he Put in too much he installed too much too early and that he tapered it back And then it slowly been building it up and that it's at 30% of his entire playbook And we were we were talking to Brandon Copeland Can't remember it was probably this past week or the week before I can't remember when it was all the weeks run together during the season But Brandon Copeland said this quote and I thought it was so great. He was like, this is not a defense for dummies And that was a great Quote I loved it so much and I will find a way to kind of tattoo that on my forehead or something Because I loved it and I think it just goes to show that with time and with adjustment and with a coach That kind of is starting. I mean Dean Pease has said from the get-go you play you play called to your personnel If your personnel can't do it, why are you trying to do it? consistently Play call to what you have at your disposal and I think that's kind of what we're seeing is this Gigantic playbook that Dean Pease has has been Shrunk down to fit what this Falcons defense can do and and I think that's something That's gonna be probably overlooked like in the different narratives of this season regardless of how it turns out That's gonna be an overlooked storyline, but I think it's so important and I think we're kind of seeing the effects of This defense becoming more comfortable in what Dean Pease is asking them to do Yeah, and one of Dean's things. I guess he doesn't say this directly, but Yards don't matter points do right and they're getting pretty good at keeping you from crossing the goal line Yeah, they've given up two touchdowns over the last two weeks And this one against the Jags was a player to after AJ Terrell left his replacement got beat for a touchdown Yeah, they did that on purpose like you see a right. Yeah, you see AJ go out and it's like well Let's let's go after him, but it has been impressive And I think that's how they can stay in these games limit Tampa limit San Francisco limit Carolina to field goals Not touchdowns that allows you to overcome some mistakes that allows you to stay in games and be in position to win late Which the Falcons have proven that they can do and We're on to quarter number four and we're gonna try to look forward to The six remaining games left on the Falcon schedule. They sit at five and six on the season They are in while There's a Monday night game with NFC teams that are going to impact it But in the NFL's I'm sorry if the in the NFC's playoff picture the Falcons are in the eighth slot Which means that they're in the mix and I asked Matt Ryan after this victory. I said To be heading into the final month playing meaningful games You know how like how important is that how important was this victory to that and the guys face just lit up Yeah, he was excited He was so excited to be in this position after a season like last year where it went south early They never recovered. They fired a coach. It was not a good situation and to be in this situation I mean, are they in control of their own destiny? Not really But they have an opportunity here to do something and not just play out the string. I think that means something. I Think that's important. Yeah, Arthur Smith's Team building exercise in in his first season. Mm-hmm, but let's also just call it like it is, right? That what happened against Jacksonville at the end cannot happen against Tampa I can't happen against Carolina or San Francisco or Buffalo or Newark schedule gets tougher, right? Yeah, they've got to be better there Yeah, no, you're right because I when I'm looking so if I'm just looking at the next four games Do you have Tampa, Carolina? 49ers Detroit If the Falcons can go two for two or in this next four game slate, I am good with that Where are the I think that it's gonna be difficult because I think that Buccaneers is gonna be hard Carolina I think is trending in The right direction because of the players that they've gotten Cam Newton back and they've gotten Christian McCaffrey back And these are conversations that change what we talk about what cordial Patterson means to this Falcons offense How he changes it same thing with Carolina and then 49ers are trending in the right direction Detroit is a winnable game, but can the Falcons play? Cohesively and together because we've seen Moments where it hasn't been super complete. We haven't seen a complete game be put together yet So when I'm looking at the month of December The Falcons have a chance here, but they have to find ways to play more completely and and to Play more Competitively and see It's just really hard to kind of go into the next month and try and predict anything I'm really not a big proponent of predictions I don't like doing them because Predictions are made to be wrong and I don't like being wrong because I'm super competitive And I have to know like that. I'm right all the time That is absolutely true. Chris and Scott can attest to it But when I'm just thinking about this, it's just really hard to predict because you Think that the Falcons could potentially go two for two, but it's really difficult to do that. Yeah for sure Chris What do you think the the Falcons are with the the road getting tougher here? They weren't able to close out this this Jacksonville game and kind of dominate the way that they had started Heading into the final month. They are playing meaningful games What do you think needs to happen for those meaningful games to set up meaningful stuff in January? Yeah, I think really the biggest thing for the Falcons is just focusing on playing Four-quarters of good football. I know that's generic, but in the when they played the Buccaneers last time I think it was like 20 to 17 or 28 to 17 and then there were back-to-back picks Pick six and everything just went downhill and the score looked way worse than the actual game was So I think and turn like Tori broke it down here I mean, I think today today the the an NFL is so weird that teams look different each week But the Panthers looked not great at all today. They look right. I mean a cam was pulled You I think at a 6.8 QBR and McCaffrey got hurt again So that that that's a game. That's a game on the schedule Like you said Tori that that could that could be a win-and-blown But I think I think the the Falcons are and the NFL as a whole is just odd like Hard to predict anything because I think when I look at this I don't I don't look at any of these games and I'm paying it as you know The this is this is a game that they can't win and I guess you you don't say that about any game in the NFL But I felt good about the the way they played against the Buccaneers for a large portion of that game That third quarter was arguably one of the best quarters that they've had Yeah, and I think I think and it's hard. It's easier said than done obviously But just really hammering in on doing we need to play solid for four quarters We need to focus on playing the game playing mistake free. Yes for four quarters limiting mistakes And I think they'll be fine the way forward and you know, hopefully get into you know Using that playoff word a little bit more. Yeah, which which is a good thing to hear Around this team considering where they were last year And I think this team has made a lot of positive steps positive strides Under first-year head coach Arthur Smith and that will do it for the fourth quarter So let's go ahead and bang the sound effect And that is also going to wrap up another edition of the Falcons final whistle podcast You guys know what to do by this point head over to iTunes or Spotify Hit us up with a rating and a review five stars preferably and after you're done with that be sure to subscribe On those two platforms, but also check in to the Falcons podcast network for Falcons audible with DJ Rackley DJ Shockley and Dave Archer We we like to review what happened They set you up for the next upcoming game that comes out on Wednesdays So we've got you covered what happened after the game and what needs to happen in the in the next game So guys, thank you so much for joining us for another edition And we will talk to you next week after the Falcons play Tampa still looking for their first home win at Mercedes Benz Stadium


I know I won't usually start this way, but I think to explain a little bit about why I am here, I should start at the beginning. I had a car accident 7 years ago which resulted in spinal cord injury and as a result I'm paralyzed from the chest down and wheelchair bound. At this time I had the accident, it was just after I left school so obviously any plans I'd had for the future were dramatically altered. I woke up in intensive care about 3 months later and announced that instead of walking into law school I was going to be now rolling into art school.

But nevertheless I came out and very excited to see what would happen for the girl that won. Who was a girl who had been born without her forearm? So quite a visual disability obviously. Anyway nothing did happen and all the doors that we thought the show may have opened into the industry for a disabled model was still closed. So this was quite frustrating. Anyway, I started doing some of my own things.ucking. I started setting up fashion shows and using disabled models and showcasing what disabled young women are still capable of doing. And around this time there was a young girl named Riam Deen who was born again without her forum and she was working in Abercrombie and Fitch, the American clothing company in London and she was working in the shops and she used to wear a cardigan to cover her prosthetic arm and it was summer, she took it off and she was fired basically for showing her arm. ac mae'n gweld fath o'r fath o'r lleolau. Ieithodd rhan o'r amser i'r amser fel y mae'r model yw eu bod yn ddiw i'w shef. Ac mae'n gwestiwch. Felly mae'n wneud i'r cyfform i gydig i gynhyrchu'r fath o'r ysgrifennu. Rwy'n gilydd ystod o'r hynny o'r fath o'r fath o'r fath o'r symud. Fe oherwydd mae'n fath o'r symud o'r symud o'r cyfforddau, byddwn o'n cynghraff iawn i'r cyfforddau. Anyway, so we started a campaign called Imperfect, and Imperfect is a play on the word obviously what is perfection, I'm perfect, we're all perfect in our own different ways. So the idea of the campaign was to bring together young disabled people and really inspire and motivate and empower them, but also to draw attention to those that were already doing very inspirational things at the same time, already out there being just incredible people anyway. So the campaign really took off and there were an enormous amount of supporters that wanted to get involved, disabled or not.  This is actually Riam, the girl that was fired from Abercrombie. So the campaign was really really exciting and it took off in a big way and we all had an amazing time and we started a clothing label and we wanted to sort of bridge the boundary between what was a disabled clothing company and what was actually just all inclusive, it was all about everyone, it wasn't about categorising in any way. Anyway, we lost funding because the recession hit and the investors couldn't fund it anymore, so we had to sort of put that on the back shelf, which is still the case, but anyway, there are still some exciting people out there doing some incredible things. This woman here is a woman I work with, Izzy Camilleri, who's a Canadian designer and she started creating clothing that was specifically to cater for people who are sat down. It's obviously not something that most of you would have to think about and actually something that I'd never really thought about, but we have to change how we wear our clothes. It's very simple, very, very small thing, but she started this very exciting movement of making people start to think that actually I have a talent to design clothing. Why don't I use that to help people that need it? So anyway, me and Izzy are working to promote this label and it's been really exciting, we've shaken it around the States and it's really gaining pace as well. But the thing that I'm doing now myself actually is something that I've recently designed called a mannequin. It's a kind of putmendu of the words mannequin and equal and it's about equality. What I'm trying to do is I've designed this chair, which is a wheelchair for a mannequin. The idea is that it sits in an in-store window or in the display and a mannequin sits in it, so it's sort of bringing in this whole entire demographic of disabled shoppers into the forefront. We shouldn't be ostracised, we do shop in shops, we do wear clothes, we should be in there too. So I designed this chair and it comes in a range of different colours. It's meant to act as an extension of the mannequin that it is seated. So if the mannequin's wearing predominantly black clothing, for example, it could be black or it can be polka dot, it can be anything. It needs to be to fit aesthetically and subtly into the display that it's within and really hope to kind of give people a sense, not just the wheelchair users but the entire disabled community that are actually sort of, we're all symbolised by that symbol of the wheelchair and to make them feel welcome, to make them not feel that they don't belong there, that these shops cater for them. So this is, I work with some London Bay shoe designer. We were messing around, we're trying to kind of show how my chair would work and how her shoes would work and just how the whole concept would work. And it was really, really, it's been very, very exciting and it has recently been launched in Debonham's in the UK. It's on the high street now. That's it, closer up. And it's... Basically, it is a very exciting first step and I think one of the things that I find is that my accident was not the worst thing that happened to me in many ways. It was the very best thing that happened to me. It has taken me around the world. It has brought me here to India. It has brought into my life new people, exciting people and it has given me the ability to live a much more happy and content life as a result of redefining my perspective and my priorities. But I do think that it comes with a responsibility and the responsibility that I find is that I have to react to the world around me that I've now come into this parallel universe of disability and to try and change things that need to be changed. And sitting here over the last few days and seeing some of the people speak and I think I've found it's very reassuring to know that a lot of you guys out there have started very small and as a result then moved on to something very, very much bigger and it's all about starting somewhere. And it's encouraging to know that even though I'm doing something very small just now, hopefully it might turn into something big in the future. So thank you for having me.


we'll actually focus on the Terramare settlement of Montale in northern Italy and where I think there is really striking evidence of work textile production at industrial scale I would like to say the site of Montale is a Terramare site, the middle Bronze Age, Italian middle Bronze Age settlement, as you can see here, it starts around 1550 and it gets abandoned probably around 1200 BC. It is a very dynamic, the whole Terramare phenomenon we love another slide, it's a very dynamic phenomenon and one of the maybe the signs that this communities are continuously changing and developing and in a way adjusting to probably the environment around and is the architecture as you can see here in this reconstruction during the first phases of the Terramare phenomenon you will have a pile dwelling and then disappears and they become normal houses in later period and since archaeology somewhere has agreed it's a sort of colonisation of the plain where they are and this pile dwelling could be an architecture that comes with the people and gets reproduced because of resources available but with time with the forestation probably resources diminished and then changes show that these people are able to adapt and change. The site here is one of the sites has been excavated since the 19th century and as you can see here from the different colours it was excavated in many different ways and mostly it was just showered away because this is what happened in the plain, they were small cels basically this was a very flat landscape and during the 19th century this was a very rich soil and the owner of the fields around just took them and spread to fertilise their fields but of course there was a lot of find and this got collected by the museum so there is an immense amount of find that have no context but we work with them as well as you can see from this other picture this is the different faces of one of the houses of the site and so you can see that they get revealed on top of each other it's very tight it's tightly inhabited these settlements and it looked like that there is organisation like lots where you get to reveal but you cannot extend much more sort of urban situation almost and as I said there is a lot of textile tools from this place this is about the taramari phenomenon this is a map that shows the evolution of the phenomena you can see it's relatively it increased dramatically you have a first here appear colonisation and then the settlement just multiplicates and multiplicates and between middle Bronze Age 3 and recent Bronze Age 1 you see also they become square they become larger you have a sort of higher diversification probably between different sites and the population increased dramatically you can see from this graph this phenomenon starts with very few attestations on the plane and it becomes this is yet the number of settlements this is the after that are occupied and and the population estimates of course with all the vias are could be a population at the end of the phenomenon 150 000 people so it's a lot of people and you can understand that there is needs of textile production at the industrial scale there this is a reconstruction of the site Montaille differently from other places doesn't increase in size it remains this actor who it's a relatively small village in this context but it's it's a very rich one it has and and one of the reasons for this stability problem maybe it's connected to this textile production that makes it different from other sides of the plane there is textile production everywhere but not to this scale that you can see in Montaille one of the reasons I think I believe that the production is connected to it's wool production mainly that is done and you can see here from this picture it lies in a very specific strategic geographical position because it's on the plane and the plane is really flat it's a plane but it's very close to the up and in up and nine mountain that starts a few kilometers afterwards and the the landscape between ladies the plane stops and the mountains start and that that I think gives an advantage because you have the possibility to use for example for your sheep I believe this is the case of summer pasture so you can free land for example for agriculture or you can bring forage that you harvest in the mountain and down to the plane which probably I would suggest now it's the case because I think the ship didn't move that much but I don't know if we have time to discuss that this is what's really striking about Montaille is the spindle board as you can see in this line these are the collections that were done during the 19th century by the museum and the spindle board are this line and you see that there is quite a striking difference there is spindle boards everywhere but in Montaille there is over four thousand about four thousand five hundred spindle boards that have been collected and even other sites where there were a lot of them like four hundred the differences just I don't need to say much and during the modern excavation that were done at the beginning of 2001 to they found 182 spindle boards and but the excavation was on 45 square meters so making comparisons it it really matched the the number that you that from the 19th century collection and actually in the end you could say that probably there were much more because of course all the fragmentary spindle boards were not collected so it is it everybody was basically spinning all the time I would say but this is another thing you can see it however because this from the modern excavation gives you the possibility to see that there is changes with time of course the 45 square meters is too little and there could be more concentration in other areas but it's interesting because you see that in the first phases you have more spindle boards and then it tends to diminish and at the end of the recent Bronze Age there is basically no traces it could be that the last levels are very disturbed there were no very clear structures and so on and so forth but at the same time oops but it could also be and I think that's the case a change in politics of production the political economical changes there because as we said and I don't go you need in order to produce textile there is a very large need for wool and beside all the all the other other things that's Christian said about the quality and how you organize your ship early you need quantities and with the the Bronze Age animals you would not be able to get large quantities from one animal and so you need the possibility to organize a normal ship early around the sites and you can see this is the final remains from the final remains through the phases the number of ships keeps increasing so although the spindle boards decrease it I think this is a sign that you have wool production and that you you change the kind of product that you are interested in that you try to to produce and I think also that this discrepancy between the spindle boards on the ship is in itself supports the idea that it's full because full is this fiber that you can actually sell even before you spin once you have collected and clean it is actually a very valuable good in itself while for example flux it until you have a spun yarn you you cannot really do much with it I think you wouldn't have a roll flux traveling around before the spin so and the evidence in the pollination analysis that I've been done on the plane this is different side and this is Montal and as a proxy for shipyard in the avenues is the I cannot pronounce it chicory a chicory a pollen as a as a evidence of intense pastoral activity as you can see here you would say that at the different sites there is actually a different emphasis on pastoral activity and I'm telling it it is quite stable and quite high so it it would and I think it's much the evidence but mean that you have a lot of sheep herding around the site and I think this is this is very interesting because since each ship would provide very little wool it's actually a very very valuable animal it's not someone that you would let go in the mountain but you keep them around in the plane and maybe as I said it's the food that comes from the mountain down to the plane at least during the Bronze Age because ships have a very very quick evolution I think at the end of the Iron Age they become different and you start having shears and other new tools that are not existing during the Bronze Age so probably the the wool becomes more and large I thinking about Montal and the situation and so on and so forth I've been trying to do some calculations and this is for the I just show you the Middle Bronze Age too so the first face and you still have also a lot of spindle wool and they did the areas very well studied they did t-shirt polygons try to apply t-shirt polygons on the on the in the province and with no of course again with all the problems that this model has you would it would turn out that Montal and manage a very very large territory so around 2,200 hectares that have Montal as a main site and if you consider that one hectare they say a population of 120-130 people maximum in on site with this large territory around even if there is about 30 percent from the polygons that is forested area and you would say at least 20 percent for agriculture which is still quite a lot it's over 400 hectares for a small population it's quite an intense agriculture you have around over a thousand hectares for your animals and the this ship won't seem dominating so if you have I tried the different stocking rates in the plane if you have only two sheep per hectare which is very very low it really gives you a bit a lot of other things going on and you already have something like 3,000 animals so between 3,000 and the 6,000 animals and you still are quite humble with your predictions and which gives you continue and something like a product a wool production of clean wool which could be between half a tonne and almost one half tonne it's not enormous if you think in Mediterranean terms it would have a lot more but still it's a production this way beyond what a small community would need so it is I think it supports the idea that this site invests heavily in wool production and that this wool production is not only the main but it's a it's a developing production it changes I think it goes from spinning threads to producing raw wool and one thing that I think it supports this idea that is a very dynamic production and political economy is again the poland diagrams as you can see well it's a particularly clear but you see that there is some change and in particular this during the first phases you have this cherry trees that are dominated with the fruit and from the phase eight you have the introduction of wine of grape which basically takes over and the and it would seems and this is correspond to the drop in spindle wool and so I think that this is a very active community that produce textile and wool but it also produce other things and when the other things become important then drops part of the of the textile work because it is very time demanding spinning process for example as you can see in the previous one it's very very many hours if you see the last part if you have 1,300 kilos of clean wool you would have 122 people working full-time for a year which is about the whole community um yeah and I finish here and so I think that through the study of the archaeological material we can get very close to to what textile production could mean to different communities and so far there's not that many studies in europe but I think we have to look for a similar case of this because I think wool production was something that emerged from that and was taken on by single communities that understood the importance of it so not everybody would do that thank you
