We are doing only one taking out, now it's 7-2-3 years old. No, these are issues here. One, how do you take out, you make it down. Instead of two, you make it up. You took one. Then what he says is, this is your grandchild's one, now it's six. That is, I am saying what he is saying. How do you take out one from them? You can take out one from them. Either you take out three, or you have it, I like to do this. So, better do this. Now it's come to six now. That's what we do.

What's up guys, this is Alex from Xtrades back to you with another weekly trade ideas list Hope everybody had a great weekend. We should have a pretty solid watch list here Last week we had a pretty good one as well. There's a couple good ones like Tesla and the falling wedge That was a nice one And there's a couple others. So go ahead and check out the last video, you know, maybe get some educational Value out of that. But before we start, please like comment and subscribe to our extra YouTube channel We are trying to get stuff to hit the algorithm more. So if you can do that for us, that'd be great. We love you So our first setup here. Let's get into TTD, it's the trade desk So our first level, we're gonna want to see breakovers this 54 81 It's pretty obvious. We do have a breakout right here. We got test one test number two test number three And you know, I was preach you want three tests to validate the trend and then, you know After that, I can pretty much do whatever it wants. They can break out I can reject again and it you know be considered a broken trend or a continuing trend If you only have two tests, obviously, it's not enough. So three tests. That's gonna be your validation And we do have that here Leading into a breakout. So this trend was broken We can go ahead and send alert over 54 81. We'll right click at alert At breakout Same thing we did with, you know, two GT last week. We're looking for that one level to break It actually did. I think it got like a nice like 2% move over it So good for a day of trade if you caught that last week as well So we did the same thing just right click At alert name a breakout and then we wait Obviously, it's pretty close. So what's the market like gaps down or Doesn't anything drastic, you know, there's a good chance this could pop over And if you're looking for where it'll head to Probably see it head up to this 200 EMA And also this 58 67 resistance. So yeah, pretty straightforward. We're really looking at calls on that. So upside potential Next we're going to eBay and the breakout trade this one's just a little bit different Just because you do have the back test already commenced. So You see you have a breakout pulls back holding back test and you want to see it Um, go ahead and run up to, you know, this is your full trading range right here. This 47 13 to 43 53 Um, kind of like a tight range, but it is a tradable range and it would, you know, pay pretty good on calls If it did market some upside, um, you might have short term resistance Here, let's go down to this Go down to the one hour Might have short term resistance. Um, 4609. You can see it's a really big pivot. Um, it did find resistance prior So, um, it only makes sense that, you know, if it did want to get some upside after the back test Did probably try to reject about there Um, ideally you'd want to see it, you know, break over Um, pull back back test hold the level and then ahead of the year 47 13 So, um, that's just something you want to look for in the smaller time frame Obviously on the daily, it doesn't look as crucial, right?  So compared to these moons over here, you know, this is pretty tight So this 47 13 to 43 53 is pretty small compared to, you know, what it's putting in from the bottom here Yeah, we'll be looking at calls on that. Um, just to break out the back test Look for it to reverse to the upside and, you know, top out about the 200 EMA or this 47 13 So t2d and ebay looking at calls And vex. So this is nova vex. This is a biotech play Um, obviously a huge huge play during the pandemic Um, when, you know, in 2020 when covid first came out I could even go back a little bit Show you how massive these freaking moves are um You know when their vaccine Was getting a lot of hype and When a lot of vaccine plays actually we're getting hype. So you can see, I mean just you got this one huge move to I'm sorry, my computer's lagging. You got this one big move to You know, 200s almost and you got another huge one up into the 300s Created a lot of bag holders up here, but Now we're down into the 16s. The thing has just gotten slammed since 2021. So You do got to be careful with this one. It's pretty volatile as are all other biotechs pretty much They're gonna have high IV options If you know IV stands for it's implied volatility It kind of prices in your premiums a little bit And it will make them pricier if it's higher and cheaper if it's lower But um, so this 16 level is 16 flat. That's your support Slash pivot And then your max top here is like 25 66. So a pretty wide range. Um, if we brought out the info line We do have about A 61 60 percent move a wide between here. So it doesn't look like much on the daily, but this is huge Um, so you're not gonna need to you know shoot for the sky and this one Unless you want to you know buy and hold it for a couple months, you know, it could squeeze up pretty high um ideally We are getting wick reactions to support. So you got a big wick here showing buyers pushed up and up until the end of the day another wick pushing up Showing buyers pushed up until the end of the day here. And this is kind of like a hammer slash bullish, you know Just a nice bullish candle kind of like a hammer slash doji Showing that buyers did indeed add pressure so ideally We want to see it hold the 16 flat Obviously would be invalid if it went under 16 if it does hold 16 um, you probably see this little resistance right here At 1806 still a big move. Um, I mean, that's a two dollar move on a 16 dollar stock So that's going to give you, you know, a good percentage Um, if it was able to oops, sorry about that If it was able to break over that You're gonna see a break back test hold and then you know, you would look for resistance at the 50 At right next just like you saw here So Because there's no like close resistance or anything. Um, until that's 2566 and this is literally all just a sell imbalance You're gonna want to look for um, move the averages, you know, because those are mid-range and You'd be able to make a determination on a price target So, yeah, looking at calls on this too. This is a counter trend play a kind of risky Um, but it could be a good one. So yeah So you got your three call plays here Our next two can go either way because they're at trend lines. They're not broken out yet and um, a decision can still be made That's going to be apple and spy We'll go ahead and get into apple first So apple here, um, you have a pretty clear downtrend line. You got test one test two test number three Another test right there. It's like four. That's number five. So you got a lot of tests here number six um So this line is very established and um Last week or maybe it was a different week. I'm not sure if it's last week or what We're looking for it to reject this at date. Indeed We had strictly puts that we're looking for on this one. Whatever. I think it was last week And um, we're just looking for a move down to 146 15. I was able to do that. So, um, good trend line play Same thing again here You know on confirmation of a rejection. We'd be looking at puts Um confirmation of a breakout and we're looking at calls And another good thing about this is that this name compared to like spy and qqq I mean this move off the bottom is nearly as big as you know The spy and qqq moved off the bottom. So this could be like a lagger And um, leave a lot of room for upside considering, you know, it's one of the top weighted in these indexes um Another thing that why it could have been lagged is because it's already had such a great performance this year And um, it was kind of like a safety play when other stuff was tanking So if you see it's only down like 16 year today and it was running up to like, I mean all-time highs Pretty much in um, almost right right up to that level, you know in 2022 It's just unheard of for for big tech, you know after seeing all those names get slammed Apple's a very good like safety play. Um, sometimes when it wants to be So, you know this trend line, um Just going to be waiting to see if it rejects heads back down to demand Or if it wants to break out and get over the 200 you may head back to supply So this is a call input trade Just wait for confirmation same as last week You had a confirmation of rejection followed through selling at the open And they give you your confirmation to take puts, you know They make a good day trade or you know, a couple of days swing trade down to this little pivot that we covered And actually we have lower than that But after that created really nice demand here You got a nice drop base rally demand and you'd see a pull back make a base And hopefully break out for bowls If it can't you see run back down to demand make a nice short term day trade between this range and um I wouldn't be any more embarrassed than that unless it gets under this demand zone below. So Bowls if it's able to break out you'd be looking at 153 59 this 200 EMA and also this 157 50 So yeah, those are your levels So calls and puts on this just wait for confirmation spy so um, we usually cover the es futures, but this time we won't have to Because we're covering the spy same thing. It's the s&p 500 At a critical point by the way This is the all-time high to current downtrend line. We've been covering for a while. It is coming up to that It's at supply. So I'm going to be looking forward to either reject here um And another thing the VIX aligns with you know, a little pullback, you know, because it's at 19 Is that the 19 level we covered? So We'll get into that next but we're gonna be looking forward to either reject here Pull back into the trend line curl up about there or we look forward to break out supply Make a base and run into the next supply So huge inflection point. Um, this is another call or put trade I already do have qqq puts so, um You know, I scaled into a small position. I took one let it go up a little more Added another, you know, it was only down like a little bit, but just long two contracts at the moment See if we can catch some downside, but You know, there is still upside risk. You can see after the jobs data I mean we gap down Filled the whole gap back up and even went green for a brief second. So, um, obviously Jerome Paul's, you know speech Gassed everybody up Um, rate hikes are going to maybe slow in december And um, you know, market's very forward-looking, you know, they're probably already thinking about a pivot So just something to keep an eye out, but keep in mind VIX is really low Um calls can be dangerous up here Wait for confirmation with the breakout for calls And um, you know, trade safe, but you got supply downtrend line not cleared yet So it could be good for puts So you can see how this could go either way Um, that's a cool thing about trendline plays is that they are versatile. You just wait for confirmation Yeah I'll go over them again We got t2d we're looking at calls ebay looking at calls in the back test and that's counter trend off 16 support calls Apple calls or puts depending on what it wants to do is buy calls or puts Next we're going to the nasdaq See what we got here So last week, we wanted to see this 12, uh, 12,000 What is that 118 level get broke? Um, or get tested even it was not able to clear that so it is finding small resistance here So bears do have a small argument Um, minus this ginormous wake which shows that buyers, you know, added crazy pressure all the way up into the end of the day Because these are daily candles. So wherever you see the close, that's where it ended And this is the whole trading day So this was all buying up until this about 12,000. So Huge pressure from the bulls even after that scary jobs data showing that, you know, um Wages aren't slowing. So We'll have to maybe see some Little more pressure in the labor market to, you know, know that maybe, you know, the feds fight for inflation To go down is working But anyways, so It's 12,118 Bears have an argument back down to the same low to from where we bottomed in on non-farm payroll data um With a potential for as low as this demand of 50 you may area, which is slightly under it So that would be my max Pt probably for the bears If we were able to get over that obviously you want to see a break make a base per usual If we're trying to go higher up into this 200 EMA Um And this is like the same gist. You got all-time highs down to current trend lines. So That's all the same thing is what you saw on spy Just a little bit different because this is the NASDAQ and it doesn't move just a tad bit different Even though the the main stock's weighting is, you know, kind of similar So, yeah, um QQQ traders just want to see it stay under this level and you know, maybe get down to here Bowls you want to see a break over the same resistance get over the trend line and be able to get over the 200 EMA eventually So that'll be a problem short-term You know, this knife is going to break right away. So you might see it, you know, do a lot of chopping up as you've been seeing Next we'll go into rty. It's a small made caps. So last week We're looking for it to pull into this trend line because it was finding resistance at the 200 EMA It did exactly that pulling the trend line I said if it pulled down here and it was holding the 50 EMA Area and it's pivot low, you know, you could look at IWM calls huge move on the J. Powell Reaction and speech so Yeah, it would have been good for IWM calls still holding up trend line And you do have an ascending triangle here. So, um, what sorry Hit the trash. So what an ascending triangle is is it build up a buying? You got flat top resistance. So the thing is this is like, you know steam in a pot It's building up building up higher lows higher highs But also has flat top resistance eventually it's going to blow off the top if the pattern holds And you know break out So that's all on ascending triangle is same thing with the descending triangle. It's just the opposite. It's It's a bearish. So you see it making lower highs lower lows with flat bottom Support and then a breakdown So this is just the opposite of that to the upside. So just think about it like steam in a pot just rising rising rising Um, and eventually we'll blow off the top. So look for that 1913 level to break Um, and also make sure the trend line still holds but otherwise bowls look good on this My almanac even shows uh, December is a good time to start looking at small mid caps to buy. So Um, maybe it's good for, you know, the seasonality is good on the Russell But yeah nothing specific. Um, look for the ascending wedge or ascending triangle breakout Bears you want to see the trend line break, which is obvious next Oops Excellent hit backspace. So we're going into the vix Um, this will tie into what we just went over on the spy So the 2022 average close that we cover every time it did drop Um, pretty significantly. It's now under 26. This is sub 26 now And all the videos that we've been covering, you know, it's been in the 26s after all these violent moves down and you know Closes under the 2022 average was able to bring it down pretty significantly So it's now at 25 95 and we're at the 1912 level that we were looking for and it even closed under that So, um, you want to see make a base here soon if you're a bear On the indexes, otherwise, you know, it could break and it probably will like come back up test before trying to go lower But um, if it can't you want to see it curl up It will go back up to 22 64 and start heading back to the 2022 average close And um, I'll show you the data So, you know that this is legit and so legit average I track it So this is each close Friday's close puts us that 1907 Brings us down to 25 95 and this is the 50 period moving average. Similar to what you see on my trading view chart. This is just Um, implemented manually So you just put in the data and the system, you know, we'll put out a moving average for you. Which is pretty cool So, yeah That's the vix look for it to curl up at 19s. Um, or break under that. Um, if you're a bear You want to see it roll till they come back But yeah, I think it could start mean regressing. Um, so, you know, maybe if you're a bearish, this would be a good area to Um, get puts with time on it, you know, so you can deal with any upside risk let it form a top Let the vix form the bottom a little bit before trying to spike and have a mean regression So, yeah, it's gonna be a good level to start adding puts. Uh, they're very cheap premiums are way below average right now Compared to what you paid all year. Um, and that's what the 2022 average close is Um, showing you So the dx y us dollar, um, just got slammed last week after the j pile speech Um, it did break under this 104. You see that 104 63 broke under that. Um And it did go under the 200 ema also So it made a base off the 200 ema. It looked like it was gonna reverse but j pile speech did break it down very aggressively So now it's breaking the 104 next to be looking for I'll show you the level real quick if we zoom out I'm going to be looking for this 102 99 slash 103 just rounded up to 103 to be honest Um, which is this 2020 peak. This is actually when kovid was first hitting the dollar did spike super hard before the fed, you know Did start printing money just out of nowhere and look what happened But yeah, um, I mean it makes total sense when you look at it, right? Uh, eventually, you know, this was going to be tested just because it's such a major level You see it fall down a little bit probably try to curl up about there So previous resistance turning new support. Um, that's what you'd be looking for But otherwise, um, if you're bearish And you want to see the market die, you're gonna want to see it reclaiming over 104 63 the same level We just cover which comes from this base right here Do you want to see it get back over get back over 105? And you know head back to these little Points of resistance up here So, yeah Um, and so I want to see it reclaim over Bears you want to keep it under and you could have a max pt down to those that 103 level that I covered Which is from 2020 So, yeah, um, I hope you guys enjoyed this video Hopefully this is a good watch list again and um, make sure you like comment subscribe our xtrades youtube channel I'm go ahead and this send it over to our editor and um Work on the you know written report for y'all if you don't y'all don't know in our discord We do have a written report of the same stuff we just covered minus the indexes You're just gonna see the top five setups that we went over And um a little summary So if you just need a quick read and can't always watch the videos I recommend going to the options watch list channel and um, check it out.

Good morning, folks, Steve Rhodes coming to you live from the shores of mostly sunny Del Ray Beach, Florida. This year, 11 AM update, we've got, well, a mixed bag. We have mixed bags the last couple of days, so today's no different. The semis are the ones that are trading to the downside of 16 points. Otherwise, all the other U.S. Indices traded the upside. Four-tenths were sent for the Dow, that's 147 points, three-tenths for the S&P or 12 points. But two-tenths for the Nasdaq, 126 points there, three-tenths for the Russell, that would be a six-point move. Gold is off $3, while silver is flat. Light's recruit is up 45 pennies, natural gas is basically flat, and the 30-year treasury are printed out at $1.271. That is up eight ticks. Let's take a look at the nine-panel market update chart. We begin with the EES mini. What do we know? Another day, another dollar, another day above yesterday's high, another bullish message out there. We don't have any kind. So, the only pattern that is out there, we can take a look at it during the Trader Z Show, is a roadsman to indicator signal. That alone is not a top. In order to generate a top, you need a bearish reversal candle. So watch for that in the EES mini. Watch for that in the NQ. Short of that, price should continue to move higher. There's no resistance levels on the daily time frame. That is. If we take a look at the spotball of Tildex, still below its 50-day exponents moving average, that is always puts the wind at the sale for the S&P 500. We take a look at the US dollar index. So today, if this were today's close, we would call this a buy the D-point pattern. That would be a one, two, three, four, a five-bar morning star pattern formation out there. So it looks like we're going to get a buy the D-point. I bet you if we go take a look at the Euro, we've got a TD9 count top out there. So in this case, what the dollar needs to do, though, is close above the top of that daily profile. And that resistance level is 100.317. That's the area to watch. Goldilocks trying to make its way up towards the top of its weekly profile. That's printed at that would be at $19.9560. But we do have a TD9 count top. Geez, it kind of escapes my mind. We'll have to take a look at that during today's show. Silver, there is no top that I'm aware of in Silver. And so Silver says that it wants to go tag the 2602 level. That's the top of its bullish structured weekly profile. The lights we crewed ran into resistance this morning. That's up at $77.15 the high today. $76.87. $77.15 is the top of its daily profile. Natural gas back inside its bullish structured daily profile. Might be signaling to you and I who wants to make a $275. Folks, they do for the Trader Zed Show. But if you have to start during Wednesday, please have a wonderful one. Thanks for joining us. We look forward to speaking with you again soon. Take care.


I don't expect a global recession or another global financial crisis. I think that the shock that comes from Brexit is significant but not of the same size and magnitude as the one we had in 2007, 2008 and 2009. However, I would say it's a major significant financial shock as the reaction of the markets on Friday suggested. It creates a whole bunch of economic, financial, political and also geopolitical uncertainties.


Good afternoon or whenever it is for you in your current state I am Dr. Kathy S. Miller. I have my notes written out so that I don't talk for 40 minutes So if all goes well, it will be eight minutes and 13 seconds But I talk too fast as I've been reminded by a couple of people from South Africa this week So I'm concentrating really hard But that means I'm gonna forget what I'm saying by the time I get to the end of the sentence So I'll also put the notes in the slides when we finish so we can recap I am the coordinator of open okay state at Oklahoma State University where I'm an assistant professor and OER librarian for the Oklahoma State University libraries. I Present as a 54 year old woman with mid-length messy graying hair and today I'm wearing mostly black with a black and white pattern blazer if I remember them which I did I am also wearing reading glasses. Thank you for joining us to discuss open practices as scholarly and creative works The purpose of this lightning talk is to identify how diffusion of innovation theory Rogers 2003 Or 2004 one is a book and was an article and so I sometimes get a missed it But provides a lens through which identification a shared vocabulary can highlight the compatibility of open practices and scholarly and creative work This shift can facilitate immediate consideration of open practices as appropriate for retention promotion and tenure tenure as an alternative to lengthy processes required for inclusion of open practices as a standalone element in faculty dossier Did that come through making sense? It's we're trying to make it so that faculty Can speak of open practices as scholarly work for tenure It is my hope that together we can identify shared language highlighting the compatibility of open practices and Creative and scholarly work You're invited to consider how your own open practices are compatible with research creative and scholarly work in your own fields and Begin to consider strategies for communicating open practices as compatible with creative and scholarly work You're also invited to say well done Kathy you tie that in very well to the abstract you submitted Yes, that doesn't always happen So the slide to you. Oh, I'm the boss. I mean, what do I point to? hopes and dreams Many thanks to the gogian for coming alongside Oklahoma State University libraries Yes, oh, I forgot my penguin chill. Hold it up. There's Okay To fund my travel To and participation in both the gogian 10th anniversary workshop and OE global 2023 It's a sort of lightning talk we would stop and sing but we won't The full study informing this lightning talk will be available in the doers three publication Anticipated publication fall 2023 Which yes, it also seems to me like That's where we are now Resulting from the OER and tenure and promotion case study project. I realize that there may be several in this room To whom the doers three organization is unfamiliar And I did link to their website in my slides So you can download those ho-ho click on them and get me an altmetric and read about the doers three organization But they're doing some cool stuff in the United States. So hopefully we'll Draw on some of the work a lot of you are doing Open okay state program development is informed by diffusion of innovation theory Which means that I am developing that project that project based on diffusion of innovation theory You can read a more about this theory in The gogian research methods handbook as well as an other as well as other theories You might find helpful in building out your work and open for this particular study that we're discussing today Supporting open practices as scholarly work in promotion and tenure. I leaned heavily on the portions of the theory diffusion of innovation which described Compatibility as a characteristic that influences the diffusion of an innovation Before we move forward though, I invite you to consider how this idea of shared vocabulary resonates with and likely was preceded by The idea is shared in today's keynote presentation About to I'd seen so I haven't dug into that but is he was speaking this morning I thought oh, yeah that that came first and it's the same thing and we maybe westernize it So we can turn back to the way. It's been seen for ages. Um, oh, I'm the next slide What is this? I'm supposed to be on slide five. Yes. All right, Oklahoma State University Is a doctoral granting University in the Midwest Southern United States our enrollment of about 25,000 people includes undergraduate and graduate students online and face-to-face students and concurrent high school students We are classified as very high research or R1 and tenure track faculty are expected to have a meaningful impactful research profile We're also a land grant University which in the United States means that fully a third of our work should be outreach and extension and One of our goals in our strategic vision right now is to be the land granteeist University For real, that's what they said. I haven't found the operational definition of that Or how being land granteeist fits in with collaboration, but we'll we'll explore that later I'll also acknowledge some of the Challenges and opportunities for reconciliation that come with being a land grant University if you want to give that a quick Google But we won't talk about it more because I'm sure the president of my university is also watching So she's not So anyway, the library included open in its strategic plan in 2013 And since then we have grown from a series of projects to sustainable program aligned with the mission and vision of our institution in 2019 our provost expressed support of open practices as appropriate for consideration as scholarly work and retention and promotion and The faculty council is on board as well. So that was a that was a pretty big deal And and they came out and they said it and we got it in print and we have it in minutes And we point to it a lot and say you've already you've already said this is okay We don't need to you don't need to debate it anymore The RPT document revision process, however is lengthy and unwieldy as many of you know So in the meantime, we've opted to move the other direction rather than revising the documents We are trying to help faculty see how what they are doing actually aligns already with open practices and come at it from that Direction Rogers defines innovation as an idea or practice perceived as new Which means as Sarah Hammer shame and I'm probably butchering how to say her name, but it is in my references and she's sitting back there And others have noted it's likely faculty are engaging in these processes Unaware that they have a fancy name so this identification of shared vocabulary Also invites reconsideration as Dr. Joe Funk said during the gogian workshop of the rationale for determining measuring and communicating high impact The impact of research on communities and the world and so I'll just step into my librarian side for a little bit and point out that a lot of the things we depend on to communicate our metrics are actually black boxes particular To that publisher and it's in their best interest right to keep that proprietary if if we have a science can tell everybody What is there's the H factor or whatever if we can allow if we can outsource our expertise and allow someone else who is Beholden to stakeholders by law has to guarantee them a profit We outsource our expertise let them tell us whether or not we're worth anything so that's a whole nother Long exciting lunch at librarians ask your librarian about that say hey, what do you think and you'll you'll hear some you'll hear some fun stuff So stepping away from that Reconsidering our rationale for high-impact practice also Recenters our faculty expertise and allows us to elevate the importance of what's going on in our local context see how all that fits in with open Right. Yeah. All right, so let me see where I am. Oh, I wrote that in a really nice way when I chat Let me see if I can impact on communities and rule when I chat with faculty we remind ourselves that research isn't Just beakers and lab coats not that those aren't important, but research is a systematic inquiry Which includes identification of a question and a search for either solutions or more questions Rather than relying only on brands or ingrained practices to communicate scholarly impact our faculty are encouraged to truly engaged Engaged with the goals of their departments and fields of research and consider how their work and open actually aligns with those goals Oh, that sounded much nicer than my little rant didn't it so Pretend that's how I said Sometimes we just need to change a word instead of a classroom resource faculty realize They've actually designed an opportunity for students to actively engage in systematic inquiry Which can impact the field the community and the world it's a lot and has taken many one-on-one consultations formal letters of support and sparsely attended campus presentations to bring energy to this shift But it is working my faculty are now actively seeking out letters of support Articulating their work using their this shared vocabulary And what we do is we write a letter that then is signed by the associate dean and Send it for inclusion their dossier and copy their department head Our materials grant open okay state fellows grants include a section that says to describe how this open project They're proposing aligns with and supports their area of research And it's absolutely fascinating to read about how it does from their perspective they use their vocabulary the vocabulary of their field and I'll be doggone. It really it's like oh, yeah We really are everywhere and we matter every place even better faculty are beginning to nominate each other to be open Okay, state fellows. There's a link to that in my slide Lean Marco SV very much copying his work and sending me emails by saying hey Someone says doing this work, too Can we include them as a fellow and I love that they're getting excited about how work and open has impacted their work their field Their trajectory as far as research and tenure is concerned and they're wanting to bring their collaborators know that people on board with it so um, I have Linked some talking points in the slides I've curated from some of the Oklahoma State University Retention promotion and tenure handbooks Feel free to click through those and you'll be excited to see that what we're doing is in many ways what we want to be doing so when I skim through those documents and I see Those lofty standards, right that we're supposed to be achieving as researchers and scholars. I Realize we're doing it in open and so it'll be great as we come together Celebrate each other's work and continue to move forward and get better We are just using different words in my dream world which requires no sleep I'd like to link scholarly work done by you all to each of the points in that document to strengthen understanding of their alignment Feel free to click through the link and share articles. You think would be appropriate as a comment I think it's set so you can't edit it, but you can put a comment in there But I really would love to say hey here's a list of Scholarly work that's been curated that shows the shared language in open I'm trying to stay on top of that, but I know there's stuff that I'm missing For real so grants frequently require information to be shared openly or and so I hear from faculty saying Hey, where can I read more about this and I'd love to have what's shared with them reflect a broader perspective than just mine I send them links to your stuff So put your stuff right in the dock make it easier for all of us And then also we can get you some clicks as long as the scholarly ecosystem is what it is We might as well help each other out. So feel free to put your publications in that and we'll read each other stuff and You know our age index will go up. So I've probably Talked too fast and I've left stuff out. So watch for the doers three book read Dr. Jeff one stuff She might be about to change everything In the world not her own life like yeah, but doing great work over there Thanks again to go G in for the community research and support Our program at Oklahoma State University is also impacted by those in the open education network community the alt OER community, Arizona very much influenced by them open ed and Really everyone willing to talk to me in a hallway or be patient with how slowly I enter emails So thank you for sharing your wisdom experience and curiosity Questions and I have there were two forty seven. So I don't know what that means. He's holding something up I'm a reading glasses. I don't know what it says Two minutes. Okay. Thank you Hopefully you're all busily clicking through that dock putting in your journal. Yes Excellent. So basically Marin's asking if I'm It for OER at Oklahoma State and how we've managed to spread the word on it and right now I am primarily it although I do scoop up everyone around me. So we've got Our website lists a team COVID shrunk it down right as we're less connected, but we're trying to branch back out and and broaden it So that's as we broaden it. It will grow grow more and as far as how I Managed to connect with so many faculty. I just I go I go to everything I can I go to the faculty council meetings I go to reading groups. I just try to make sure they know my face To the point where maybe they're starting across the sidewalk, right when we and that's why when we're online It's like you can't leave we're in the same meeting, but so just lots of that Interpersonal communication and so if you look at a vision of innovation theory it talks about mass media and then you're gonna then you go to smaller communication channels and that's we're passing mass media Part into where it's that interpersonal communication But it's interesting that you ask that okay. No, this is recorded. So thank you for asking that All right, and we can have another talk later. That's not recorded and I'll expand upon that but The way I came to this notion of shared vocabulary is Okay, I didn't come to it. I didn't make it up. We just heard a presentation right a keynote about how it's not new but I grew up in an educator family for generation educator I'm also a music educator and So as you know K-12 education is it funded arts education definitely not funded so grew up where the family business was really sharing and borrowing and iterating on other people's work and when I came into Higher ed and found out that doing that had a name and could get grants. I thought I can change the name for what I do and Take your money and then going out to faculty and saying that same thing You're already doing that someone decided to find it. Let's make a workforce. So yeah, thank you for asking that Thank you. Oh gosh, and that was recorded So All right. Yes one more question Thank you. Thank you. So she's asking how we're stepping away from traditional understandings and I'm traditional ingrained understanding of what scholars scholarly works are and you know We have an IP policy intellectual property policy that was updated in 2019 That has definitions in it as they're trying to say who owns what and at our institution faculty on all their work There's a definition of scholarly work in there that aligns with what we're doing And so that's what I would say is go. Hey friend. What's your operational definition of scholarly? Oh looky there It it didn't say publish in that journal it says doing things that increase engagement and impact the world at large and so one of the very specific ways and I'm Not a shill for them, but we publish our stuff and press books which gives it an international exposure I'm like give me your stuff and bam you've had an international impact on the world So if that's helpful, but really if you dig into actual operational definitions is where you find the magic Okay, I'm being pointed to you. All right. Thank you


We look at our world today and it looks like everything is burning, breaking apart, disintegrating. Look at our devices. There's some fresh bad news on top of everything that happened yesterday, the day before, the week before, the past several years. Put down our devices and look at our cities. What do we see? Injustice. Go beyond our cities. Go to our borders. What do we see? Cruelty. Go beyond our borders. Go to our rainforests. What do we see? They're also burning. In this state of affairs, it's natural to want to think about how do we move forward? How do we go beyond? How do we leave all of this behind? Where do we go from here? But I want to pause before asking where do we go from here? I want to investigate how we got here in the first place. What actions, decisions, policies, priorities, or maybe even inactions, for example in the case of the climate crisis, let us to this world that we live in today. Now I can spend a lot of time just talking about the many things that are responsible for this. But I want to focus on a perspective that I don't think is spoken about often enough, and that is the perspective of design. You see, design and designers have played a not insignificant role in shaping our world. Let's revisit the examples I just spoke about. The social media companies that are in part responsible for the many upheavals we've seen in the past few years, while the designers at those companies have been too busy pixel-perfecting the user interfaces to make the apps easier to use. The injustice in our cities? Well, designers have helped deploy predictive policing algorithms that have been used to perpetuate racial inequality. Our borders?  For far too long, design has allowed itself to become a tool of capitalism, making things or making things prettier or making things easier to use to feed this cycle of never-ending consumerism. There are so many examples we can look at. Let's look at Silicon Valley, for example, where designers are sometimes busy solving non-problems. This is Juicero, a smart juicer that retail for around $700 and required to be connected to Wi-Fi and also required you to buy these small packets of pre-cut produce that you could then use the juicer to make fresh juice. Celebrity designers and a huge team put their time, energy and talents into making this one product, which does not necessarily solve any problems. But from the looks of it, apparently, with all of what you're going through in the world, what we really need right now is a juicer. So while on the one hand we have designers trying to solve non-problems, on the other hand we have designers trying to address very real problems, but still with questionable results. This is the Play Pump, a water pump designed to work like a merry-go-round that can draw water as students play with it. This device was deployed in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa and at the outset it looks like a great idea, you know, solving the problem of water scarcity, which is a complex problem with this really simple, novel, really exciting idea, children playing to get water for their communities. Yeah, brilliant, sounds great. But a deeper look reveals many problems. So this pump can only be used in communities where the water table is high enough and the water is of a good enough quality, which is not the case in many communities where it was deployed. Also, there's this problem of children using their energies to draw water, which raises the question of child labour. So there we have it, examples of designers trying to address problems or in some cases not addressing any problems and using their talents and time for these purposes. Now I admit it's very easy for me to stand here and criticize other designs and other designers. What's harder to do is to have a critical look at my own self and my own work, but I'm going to do that. I'll admit and not angel either. I'll tell you a story. Three years ago, I was in Karachi, which is also home in addition to sound about Pakistan. I was feeling rather insecure and thought to myself, well, I'm a designer and every self-respecting designer that I know of is either developing an app, making an app, has already made an app or will create an app in the very near future. What kind of designer am I if I'm not creating an app? While having this internal monologue, I was in an Uber going home from work. At that moment, a street cart crossed the road while we were at the traffic signal. Now, these street carts are a common sight on the streets of Karachi and many other cities around the world and they sell anything from fresh produce to old clothes and shoes and snacks and whatnot. They're an important part of the informal economy. So there I was sitting in my air conditioned Uber looking at this man pushing his car, thinking to myself, naturally, you're an absolute genius. I wanted to create an app and the app was right in front of me. I would create the Uber for street carts. So I went ahead and I created an app, an app that connects street cart vendors to their customers and vice versa, helping them do their transaction more easily. So this is one screen from the app and another screen showing how colorful, black, sharp, snazzy and just nice to look at this app was. I even gave it a nice name and a logo really is the word for cart. I was really happy with it until I wasn't looking back and horrified. While making this app, I did not bother to talk to even one street cart vendor or their customers. Worse still, I did not bother to investigate the broader social, political, economical and cultural aspects that make it necessary for thousands of thousands of people to push these cars along city streets, eking out a living while the heat is intense in Karachi. I was not interested in questioning and challenging the complex realities that made it necessary. I was not really interested in making an app. In other words, I was doomed. So what is doomed? Well, this is a term I came up with while I was trying to understand my own approach and my own attitude towards design. It's an acronym. It stands for designers, uncritical, boundless enthusiasts. So I was doomed while I was making this app. And we can probably also make a parallel with the kind of work that I was doing with my app and the kind of approach that the designers of the play pump had. And with this do mindset, you tend to get married to this idea and you're in this bubble of brilliance and you're thinking that, okay, I'm a genius designer and I know everything I can solve this problem. I don't necessarily need to know much about the complexities of the problem space and most importantly the people that I'm designing for. The world does not need this kind of design. This kind of design is part of the problem. But despite all that I've said, despite the rather hopeless cynical and maybe even bitter picture I've drawn so far, I think there is hope. Arundhati Roy, one of my absolute favorite authors, inspires me when she says, a new world is not just possible, she's on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. I believe that design, despite what I've said so far, design still has the power and the potential to facilitate or maybe even expedite the arrival of this new world that Roy talks about. But how do we do it? In the past two years since I've been in the MDS Integrative Design Program and the STEM School of Art and Design, I've had to really question myself and challenge myself. I've had to revisit my approach as a designer, my mindset as a designer. It's been a process of unlearning. I've had to teach myself that I have to design as a facilitator, not as an expert.  And echoing what Brittany said, we have to learn from the real people who actually live these realities every single day. They are the real experts of their experiences. I have to remind myself that I have to design with people, not for them. I'm embracing this approach, this new approach to design in my current research and design work for which I'm going back to Pakistan. Pakistan is the fifth most vulnerable country to long term impacts of climate change. And among many different aspects of that, including water shortages and extreme weather events, food security and agriculture are some of the major, major outcomes of climate change. I'm going to understand how I as a designer can help assist and facilitate the many different stakeholders working in this space to help Pakistan actually respond to the many challenges arising from climate change. This is a very complex problem space as evidenced by this network of the many different players that interact in this space. I'm working in deep collaboration with researchers, policy makers, social organizations, and of course the general public in trying to understand the problem space and the many different dynamics of it. I don't have any answers yet and might not have any answers anytime soon. I was just thinking the network from three years ago would probably jump into this problem space with oodles and oodles of confidence and just this amazing ability to see, not acknowledge the complexities and apply this boundless enthusiasm to this problem space and probably pretend that all we need is a shiny, fancy, nicely designed app and the problem of climate change would be gone. Fortunately, the network of today here right now knows a little bit better. I understand that before jumping to any solutions before think even thinking about solutions, we have to really spend a lot of time in the problem space with the people with the stakeholders trying to understand what everyone's, what everyone's needs are wants are what assets we have what strengths we have what weaknesses we have. We have to approach the space with not boundless enthusiasm, but with critical optimism. As we try and figure out where to go from here, you must not get doomed. Do sound like doomed and it really is doomed, as I would inspire my work on that fancy, but useless app. I believe that critical collaborative design offers a way forward as we grapple with many versions of the question, where do we go from here. Thank you.


This picture was taken at 89,000 votes. It's up over 96,000 now, I believe. But it has remained at 51,49 since about 10,000 votes. The world is split on this. And I don't know what I expected going in. I did not expect it to be this. Pretty much a perfect poll. Oh yeah. I did not take this photo, by the way. This is, I believe, Foxy Foxy picked Jimmy Garoppolo. I picked Jimmy G. And I left out the, hey, I'm just voting to see the results because I wanted people to be forced to answer. Yeah. Because this is potentially Andrew Barry's thoughts going forward or a team going forward. I did read your, a lot of the replies as well. There was a lot of people wanted a neither option. Yes, but that's what, that's why I put the poll out was, hey, there is no neither with the Cleveland Browns roster next year. Who are more do you take it? A lot of Browns fans are playing. Jimmy plays every other season. What are we even talking about? Bangers playing with a torn labrum.
