Hello and welcome to the CMC markets Monday market webinar update with myself David Madden here at CMC markets Today's date is Monday the 12th of March 2018 and the time has just gone 12 15 GMT quarter past 12 p.m. UK time As always with the webinars, what I'm going to do is leave the risk warnings slides up on screen for you guys to have a quick Read through it's fairly straightforward in essentially states anything that is covered in today's webinar It's merely my own post comments views and opinions. It isn't it should not be taken as explicit trading or investment advice Those views who are likely listening into our webinar or watch the replay video You will you know that this is that this is a very much common practice here at CMC markets So while you're clever to click read through what's going on on the screen or fun view in relation to the risk risk Warnings slides. I'll just go to talk talk about what's going on in the financial markets over the last few days And the short answer is not a whole lot. It's been a relatively quiet Started the trading week positive finish that we had and in the US on Friday was replicated by a positive finish last night overnight in Asia And we're seeing and we're seeing the mood of optimism continuing here in Europe Granted it isn't as bullish as it is say in the United States, but it is it is doing fairly well. It's holding up The financial markets for the time being at least have seemed to shrugged off The news that the mr. Trump is pressing ahead with his tariffs on steel and aluminium Granted with the exception of countries such as such as Canada and Mexico and also Australia And also those tariffs don't actually come into play For another 10 days or so. So it's possibility the financial markets may wait to react until then But with the time being things look quite things that are things are looking to be kind of carrying on business as usual This could also be a case of The financial markets initially had the had a excessive reaction to the news of the tariffs And then as you found out Mexico Canada and Australia were exempt and the word Opposed just yet. So maybe it's a case of the financial markets Kind of reacted and priced in the bad news initially before we actually had and then it turns out it was a slightly watered down Approach to the protectionist policies that has been down the route of also we haven't really had a full-on and equal reply from say the European Union or China or what I think in terms of reciprocal tariff sizes, so There's a possibility if we see a reaction from say Europe or the European Union from the European Union or say perhaps China We could be heading down the roof then of a trade war And that is something that was is likely to push away on US US stock markets and global stock markets and also the US daughter Looking back at last week's gone from payroll figures It was it was typically non-farm payrolls in that the market reacted to the headlight number But the devil's in the detail with non-farm payrolls and actually the remainder of their port was good It was good, but it wasn't amazing. It wasn't as it wasn't as impressive as the headlight number Wage growth was good, but a cool and also a basic expectations That is an area which Which was traders kind of are now kind of second thinking are they gonna be for rate hikes and the Federal Reserve this year because the number that really set set the set the cat amongst the pigeons and about say about five weeks ago four and a half weeks ago was it was the Impressive jump in average earnings in the United States. Now earnings are set above average But they're now growing at a slower pace and also they did miss expectations. So Traders are now kind of questioning are they gonna be for rate hikes in 2018 or perhaps it was the original three that we kind depends on then that's what we could be looking at So there's sort of sort of the the main events if you're looking at What I'll talk about now is the main events of the week ahead of us For those of you who have an account with us and you go on our platform Under the news and analysis section is where you can find the majority but not all of the updates that we do They're going under news analysis To this section here and then scrolling across to Friday's one because it would be put up on Friday Friday afternoon the week ahead this gets done on a weekly basis. There's actually in it and embedded video that goes along with it, which is done as well but I just run through here the highlights of the both the Economic and corporate events of the week ahead of us. So On tomorrow, we have fourth quarter figures out from Dick Springs. Dick's big big sporting goods in the United States Sporting is coming out tomorrow On Tuesday fourth quarter numbers on Wednesday. We have industrial production and retail sales figures coming out of China Keep mind. We had some pretty impressive Chinese exports recently and if and this is possibly an argument behind Donald Trump's trade war were by that they the playing field of the trading agreements aren't level between the United States and China and We have a scenario whereby Chinese imports last month would work very high with Chinese exports were enormous So miss it someone like Mr. Trump is looking at this and saying, you know what? We got to alter this because change the arrangement You got to change the relationship here because China is benefiting and sending a lot out to the West Breakthrough of the US, but it isn't necessarily buying much from the US as much from the West so you can see why Mr. Trump would like to actually Change the trade relationship between the two countries So keep an eye on the Chinese figures that are coming out on Wednesday If you trade the Australian dollar or any of the mining companies or high-grade copper you keep an eye out What's going on in China? On Wednesday, we want to retail sales coming out of America That'll also be good one to watch a good barometer of how Potentially hawkish or dovish the Federal Reserve are going to be because Americans you got and earn more money as you saw wage increases or other rights in the United States But I think I'm actually spending it. That's going to be the real driving factor Hope whether the Federal Reserve actually looked good if once again last year we three red hikes Are we gonna get three more this year or we're gonna get four red hikes That's something something that traders will be keeping me up for on Wednesday. We have fun your figures coming out for Morrison supermarket and on Wednesday We also have for your numbers coming off and bought for bt and about for bt is one of those construction and outsourced companies and One of the service providers. It does a lot of government contracts But for bt is what Karoline could have been if it actually took it's the top medicine And we're down the route but for bt like how Karoline in a few years ago overstretched themselves Spend themselves to thin took on too many contracts They didn't have a high enough high enough profit margin just to get the contract But you put in a competitive bid to get it and then which were a series of profit warnings and then after that virtually Things were looking quite were looking quite bad for for both of it a number of years ago But actually This is something but it extends every structuring and I've not been I've not been bounced back On the topic as well. We have for your figures coming off a mid to serve another company In the similar sector A company that does a lot of government contracts and get outsourced to work and certain various different service contracts They've been in the news recently for Well over the last few months for the wrong reasons they've had a couple about a couple of profit work Have you had a few profit warnings? We did see the share price bounce back last week at the back in the last week though on the on the news that a company called emerald investment a Scottish crowd are looking at acquiring All their debt on the secondary market and there was a report on the papers stating that that emerald investment are actually looking to kind of You know to get a guarantee or potentially back the financing of interest or as a keep an eye out for the industry Figures which are coming out on Friday What I'm going to do now is I'm going to run through The major major markets what popular markets talk about the price action I'm seeing on the screen and there is that we could potentially see some You could see the market potentially move to If there any markets, I'm going to cover in major indices major commodities major currency pairs If there are any markets that haven't covered that you want me to cover feel free to type in the chat box Where you were you were you the same area you got back to me saying that yes You could hear me loud and clear feel free to type in suggestions of markets That you want me to cover so I'm starting off now with the footsie with hundred and So I can see here on the footsie with hundred the last two sessions After the mega setup that we saw in a late January early February the market was was was bouncing back the it appeared that the bounce back to The push higher run out at a bit of steam and now we're pushing higher again So not only are we pushing higher roles is in a steady increase in the late in positive momentum This is the the MACD indicator the MACD histogram measures momentum So while the market's pushing higher, it's been confirmed by the increase in positive momentum So we can see that momentum is with the fires with the bulls The markets pushing higher if they continue to push higher We could be looking at testing this region here a late January the late February high of seven thousand three hundred and forty And if you go north of that we could be looking at retesting the seven thousand four hundred level But if you do manage to manage to turn over on itself again We could be looking if I need support in around the seven thousand and sixty one and a break below seven thousand sixty one could pave the way for a fallback to and a retesting of the This price here from the out of ours low on Thursday the eighth of February which comes to play at six thousand nine hundred and nineteen I take a look now what's going on over in Germany It's a for the European markets The the shape of the chart looks relatively similar and same with the same with that in America where similar deal In Germany will buy we've had to sell off. We've had a bounce back It's given up a lot I gave up a lot of its growth against here and things were looking fairly negative for the DAX But it has managed to get a bounce back again We really would need to see the twelve thousand six hundred area the late February high being cleared before we before we become more confident that this Full correction is underway because we've had a full correction See on the nasaq 100 for example, but yet the European markets are very much falling some language in behind So if you do take out twelve thousand six hundred we could see a target twelve thousand seven hundred and forty one And if you go north of there, we could be looking at heading up towards the thirteen thousand level If the market does manage to kind of that runs out of steam and turns over on set up again We may find some support in round the kind of twelve thousand area or perhaps even down at the at the 2018 lows of the left fair be lows of eleven thousand six hundred and ninety-two it did this at this level here So taking a look now what's going on with the Dow Jones as you can see here Bit bit of a healthier looking chart here in that the markets had a fairly decent recovery It's it's pulled back and repeat and it's pushing higher here yet again So once again back above the 15 moving average the market's aging higher We can see that momentum has turned positive the last couple sessions and it's increasing So the so the momentum is with the buyers first out keep an eye out for to the upside for the late February high at 25,000 821 if you go north of that kind of psychological psychological number of 26,000 will be the next one to watch out for And the decisive break north of 26,000 could look at the end Setting us back up towards this area here at the the early February high of 26,000 307 If the market does manage to kind of run out of steam and put in drift lower again You may find some support in around 25,000 area or perhaps even down at the early March low of 24,213 But I think this area here it could be an area whereby if this is taken out of the downside It could be a sign that at the market is once again losing confidence Or it could be like you heading back down towards the at February low of 23,000 138 Just take a look now. I was gone what's going on with the S&P 500 As you can see the the price action of both the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 I've been fairly similar just like price action of the first 200 and the NASDAQ I'm sorry the first 200 and the DAX I've been similar as well So but the key difference on the S&P 500, which it has over the DAX is that the S&P 500 has actually managed to take out the Recent February highs are actually we're talking at levels now not seen since early February on the on the S&P 500 The markets can be one that's going to sell pathetic profits either by the more market recovers The more likely it is to make to make a full recovery. So We've a we the market pushed higher here got up got up towards the 2800 mark as the market was pushing higher here last few sessions a steady and notable increase in positive momentum So the the momentum confirms the upper move that the momentum is with the bulls the markets pushing higher here and if you do manage to take out 2800 again, we could be looking heading heading up to then towards 2800 and say 38 and then if we go beyond that we could be looking at retesting the all-time highs of 2877 Any pullbacks that we do that we could see may find some support on the fifth the moving average at 27,000 47 or perhaps even down at this level here 22,000 7 sorry 2720 or even 2700 itself It's only if you see a break south of this area here at 2647 then could you be worried and looking at potentially back down towards 2600 or maybe even low 2532 but given that market has recovered If you look at the amount of recovery from the highs here The lows here we can clearly see that we covered some in the region around 70 75% of the of the downward move from the all-time high So the more a market has recovered the more likely it is to make a full recovery I'll show you know, that's gonna be NASDAQ 400 and now that I should manage to actually Not only make a full recovery, but I should go on to print fresh record highs so As you can see here this potentially could be the blueprint for other markets or by the market pushes higher makes a recovery has it as the I'll pull that book goes on to actually create hit Goes on to retest the recent all-time highs and hit fresh new highs from there So the last few sessions throughout mark You can see a clear and steady increase in the price here and also it's been confirmed by the increase in positive momentum Market's pushing higher here. We're currently trading at 71 20 25 or so on the NASDAQ 100 So as market would be to need to push on from here We could be a looking at targeting 7,200 and it kind of moves it down side We could find some support coming to play in around the seven seven thousand number itself And it's only if you have it say a size I feel it's only if you say if you say move south to say six thousand eight hundred Then you might want to get worried and we could be looking heading back down towards 6,643 As I mentioned another go through some commodities now and then some currencies and there any markets that you want me to cover feel free To type in the chat box and I will be happily give those a look So take a look at the price action of a truck basically throughout say 20 say January onwards we can see that The price of gold Has been broadly edging lower. You see some kind of wide swings of broadly speaking We have seen market move lower, you know And the definition of a downward trend is lower lows and lower highs and that's precisely what we saw here in gold in the last few weeks So after aiding 2018 high and a high for nuts a level not seen over a year What's the goal do pushes pushes lower here put bounces back?  That's a new lower low created Market bounce market has bounced back and lo and behold this high here hasn't taken off the reason right here And it's certainly got no near this high. So this could be another lower high Potentially and so we could be looking at retesting the recent lows of three of 13 or two And if you go south of that, you know, we're basically on 1300 and if you go south of 1300 you could be looking heading back down towards the turning moving average at 1289 Those at the upside may first may run into resistance at the 50 moving average at 1330 But it's only if you see a move north of The most recent high at 1340 Uh, it's only if you see a break north of 1340 because then we wish you get started start to um feel We could actually be looking at retesting say 1350 or 1366 Heading up toward these areas here while the market, uh, is south of say 1340. It's likely it's it's likely that that market is going to continue to push lower It's like I can say because you know, we we we haven't created any any higher highs in a while for goals So if you don't we don't take our 1340 it's likely the market is going to drift lower But if you do manage to take off to a 1340 we could be looking heading towards 1350 or then of course The February high of 1360 will come into play and then beyond that it'll be the january high of 1366 And if you take our 1366 the next ever to keep a lineup for will be 1375 On a level not seen since july of 2016 U.s. Coco. Yeah, I'll have a look at that for a second. Let's go to the oil markets very quickly coca So the big picture on Brent oil and a similar of wti is that first year about about seven months The market's been in a solid upward trend here We saw go on to hit multi-year highs in january of this year the market has since then come off a bit We have seen we've seen the move lower here And I opinion we could be at potentially a bit of a turning point possibly for the energy market The market at a fairly decent correct and a sizable correction But after you know a long period of say after a period of a set month rally And the market has pushed higher here now you've drift lower here and we seem to be in a bit of a consolidation range here Now I'm wondering Is this it is this just a decent correction of a set much rally? And what we're going to see is a higher high higher low and then potentially read a move higher again retesting 71 region and going on higher from there Or is this the beginning of a of a downward trend is this beginning of is this potentially the first lower low Is this the lower high and and could be looking at another lower low. So I think with the energy market Given that it's rallied for seven seven seven months Is that a decent one for seven months or even multi-year high? It's probably more likely that the market's taking a bit of a breather here and we could be looking at retesting The the late february high of 6793 and then potentially add towards 771 after that But bearing in mind if you do take out this low here I think a lot of traders would be keeping in mind and this price here here Obviously in the 62 region the mid The the the lower february that was created in the middle of the month if you take out that level That'll be then the creation of a second lower low And that could be a signal that we're actually for a bit of a A bit more of a decline in the energy market and if you go start to 72 We could be looking at taking it back towards six 61 24 are perhaps even down as low as 60 dollars in power itself But obviously moved to the upside it could be likely heading up towards 70 dollars um, the recent high with 71 38 and moving over to that A good fine resistance at 72 74 It's a fairly similar looking chart on wti, but I'll have a look at that now Yeah, I'll be coming on to euro starting that that's one of the one of the popular currency pairs mr. Mr. Conroy So I've been looking at that when I do my uh do my piece on commodity pairs As you can see with wti, it's a fairly similar looking chart the big picture of the last seven or eight months has been Class example of an upward trend higher highs and higher lows once again if we can hold north of this area here of the The february low of 5810 They can hold north of this area here We it's like you that we could see a retesting of the recent I reached the late february high of 64 30 and then beyond that head up towards 64 Sorry 66 67 someone a support But if you do manage to take out The uh the february low of 5810 that could be that that that would then be a second lower low in in the In a few months and that could be an indication Are heading back down towards this potentially this area here at 50 55 72 are down even though as 54 76 Once again moves to the upside Given that it's Such a wider positive trend. It's more likely that we're going to continue that positive trend than they think if you turn over But like I said keep an eye out for the february low I'll take a look uh at that commodity now Just to Clarify mr. Smith in relation to is which precise contract is this because you mentioned in in the message us what i'm seeing here on the screen is cash Sure, no worries. Yep. That's that's what I figured because it's all done in alphabetical order. So I figured I was that one yet Now to be honest with you. This isn't is in America. I don't really have I don't spend much time looking at To be perfectly honest, but I certainly will give you my opinion in a minute Okay, obviously this is this kind of this isn't is America that I look at very regularly So let's do a bit of a longer data analysis that I know we do As you can see here after massive surge here quite a successive run several years From say 2011 this is a massive bull run here higher highs higher lows all the way along Multi-year high created here in 2016 quite an aggressive sell-off on the back of that These in these sort of scenarios you're always kind of wondering is this is a snapback or is the market got turned over on itself again and turned lower because or is this the point where The market is actually going to be pushing higher and we're looking looking at actually recovering the ground that we've lost What I will say is this is that it's What adds weight to the argument that the market is turning around Is the fact that it's actually quite distinctively smashed above these highs here You see the market here take up this high here this high here this high here even all signs all They don't that all kind of adds weight to the argument that the market The market is is correcting itself and the market is pushing higher and this upward move could be sustained It's also but also Is encouraging to see as well as how as the market was pushing higher here There's dead increase in positive momentum. So The momentum is clearly with the buyers It's when you see a market pushing higher and momentum isn't pushing higher and then it's going the opposite direction That's when you can get a work. That's when you can get a bit nervous Pardon me that pardon me thinks that the market has made a fairly has gained so much ground here as such a violent or Aggressive snapback We might see the market pull back to say somewhere in around here potential with these highs coming to play in around the 16 52 area we could see the market just give just just give up some of these gains Or potentially down towards 1600 before potentially moving higher just because a move like this is so aggressive And it's it was on such a short space of time It's often difficult for marketers to sustain that momentum even if it does have a you know Even if the wider positive move does continue It's often difficult for this kind to go go up in a To go up in a 60 degree line. That's quite difficult for marketers to do So you may you may see if I have a pullback Penetrate down as low as 1600 or maybe even down towards the 50 week moving average here at 15 31 No, so it acted as a Support here only a few weeks ago and then if you do continue to push higher from here I think key area to keep an eye on will be this price this this block here Probably the top end of that range would be 18 18 87 Just because there's not a consolidation in around here And of course what we see now is the market is running into resistance in around there So if we do take out 18 this this area here, we could be looking at it towards 1900 And then of course 2000 will be a big area to keep an eye out for I hope that answers your questions, Mr. Smith So yeah, the only thing we could see is a bit of a snapback before another push higher again, but To be even extra if you are if you are the kind of if you wanted to get real confirmation that that that the That this downward that this downward trend is coming to an end and the market is potentially going to full correction If I move north of say 2000 would then kind of signify that right Oh, and I'll do a couple of do a few currency pairs Oh, yep. No worries. I there we go It's yeah, it's always good to just you know, obviously form your own book use first and foremost But it's always good to get some message because they may they may clock something that you haven't seen or haven't thought of but We're clear. We're clearly on the same page then Right now I'll have a quick rundown of a few currency pairs the big ones Starting off with euro dollar um So there's been that there's been such a wider upward move in the in the euro versus the us dollar That was just kind of suggested me that the wider positive move is going to continue But at the same time, I'm probably aware that we've seen a few incidents of kind of the market has been edging a bit lower here Brandon, we did put a new higher high here The market created a higher low Sorry, a lower low and now we're kind of we're kind of drifting it on this area It seems to the market seems to be a bit indecisive, but While we remain north of the of say the 122 area or this low here At 121 54, I suspect the wider upward move is going to continue And then obviously if you take out this immediate level to keep on that for the upside will be 124 46 the recent high If you go north of that, you could be looking ahead enough towards 125 and then potentially up towards the recent high of 125 and 55 But and it moves and it moves south of this this this area here could bring us back to bring us back down towards the 120 92 or even down to the psychology important 120 level itself Taking a look now at the pound versus the us dollar and I'll be coming on to euro starting after this chart Once again a lot of after quite a decent run for for for many many months Um, we've seen a bit of consolidation in around here But the big picture is to draw a low trend line between the lows of march last year and the lows of august granted I'm afraid we traded below a few occasions It's so very much north of that upward upward trend line So while we remain north of this trend line here the outlook for pound sterling Uh, it's likely to remain positive grand as we are seeing we are seeing a bit of a downward trend obviously coming in effect here Lower low lower high lower low lower high But the wider picture of it being north of the other's trend line Is the positive so given that we're seeing quite small ranges assessment at the market is a bit kind of indecisive, but I suspect the the wider upward trend could continue while we remain north of this trend line So if you do manage to push on higher from here to get us back in the kind of snap out of this kind of shorter term or near term Downward trend we need to take out say the 140 area if you go north of 140 We'll be looking towards the mid-february high of 140 150 Move to the downside keep keep an eye out for The the march low of 130 112 and if you go south of that you may find you may find some support In around where the trend line comes into play Which should be somewhere in the region of of around about 130 610 or 136 the figure itself But it's only if you break that trend line because then we get a bit more worried that And we could be looking at any back down towards the 134 135 134 region Take a look now at euro sterling euro sterling it continues to be Market which hasn't had a major amount of volatility for quite a while It was sort of range bound between say zero spot 89 29 to the top and zero spot 86 89 to the bottom end and Only only last week when I should break north of that I thought fund register scenes in the direction that in this currency pair I wanted to know the market actually managed to get back below that that level again It does appear to be You there's an argument to be made since the end of january or to say the past about Six or 68 weeks the market is in an upward trend You could say that the market is creating higher highs and higher lows If you do manage to continue to push on higher from here The first day to keep an eye out for to the upside workhorse been a recent high of zero spot 89 67 And if you go north of that, we've been looking towards zero spot 90 And then but actually north of that we could be looking at heading in this price area here of zero spot 1949 Move to the downside may find some support in on zero spot 88 area And if you take out the the end of the late february low Of uh of zero spot 87 87 71 We could be looking ahead and down to the bottom end of the range at zero spot 86 89 And if you go south of there, which we haven't done in a while because this this this will be potentially Be a significant area because of the tests and the complications if you go south of zero spot 86 89 We could be looking heading back down towards 86 the figure Now the last mark I'm going to have a look at is going to be the u.s. dollar versus the japanese yen And then I'll show you a few things on our training platform And then we'll have to wrap things up So as you can see here From broadly speaking from november onwards, uh the dollar yen has been a fairly Obvious downward trend. So, you know, this this was the original lower low mark pushed higher here created a lower high Shared the small range for a few weeks and then of course you've seen the lower low lower high lower low lower high lower low That's the staple of a downward trend. We are seeing the market in the near term market pushing up higher again Um, we have seen the market grind up higher here And that's being confirmed by the positive increase in positive momentum, which could just mean the market is just going to We are seeing some earth and nothing or seeing some short short covering come into play Other markets edging up higher the wider picture is still to the downside But if the market in the near term is edging higher You're really why you couldn't even be tested? 108 while probably we remain south of 108. I think that the wider downward trend is going could remain in place So we could head up towards 108 before potentially turning over on itself and head down towards one of 107 106 and then testing the recent lows here Of uh Of 105 25 and then if you go south of that or obviously within a fairly close distance of 105 the figure itself If you move north of 108 No, to keep another four potentials to the upside will be 108 109 78 And if you go north of that, we could be looking any up towards 110 84 I've just been asked a question here This I was uh, I'm just reading a question here. Um by one old by joshua In relation to, um, uh, Joshua your observation that there's a kind of in relationship between so that the 1400 of the uk 100 and the cable but since but since february it's been marrying the dow jones the us 30 I suspect that because the majors because the the global stock market sell-off that happened in say in february Was led by the americans began in the united states as I mentioned atop of this podcast atop of this webinar About how the strong wage growth data in the united states in two non-farm payrolls ago God traders got considered concerned we could see four rate hikes in 2018 rather than three which there were kind of penciling in So I suspect because the sell-off originated in in america Traders were then waiting for america to turn around or as effectively continued to continue to lead the way America began to set off through the world and the rest of the world followed America is correcting itself and now the rest of the world is falling again That's my take on that's my take on that's my take on the events of why why say for example, you know The moves and the the the moves notice how the charts on the of the The dow jones sp 500 and the nasdaq were all looked fairly similar and then over in europe that the the movements on the foot of the hundred and also on the And then the german market the tax they looked fairly similar as well. So I just think this Is an example of if by gun in the united states because it's a kind of american-led sell-off And now and now the market of this movie is moving um is moving lower also But sorry the market's moving hot the markets are the correction The sell-off started america the corrections started america and evidence is following also as I mentioned recently Two couple of charts ago The the pound dollar trend over the past say five or six weeks has been to the downside Granted that's in a that's in a wider positive trend, but still The the pound has been losing ground to the u.s. Dollar recently and also on top of that as you've seen on the Euro starting chart a couple of charts ago the the euro at least briefly anyways, but was gaining ground against the pound too As in terms of actually covering charts that's that's actually it for the webinar itself What I do what I do is quickly run through a couple of things on our trading platform As I mentioned on top of the platform everything that we do in terms of news analysis gets put a lot of stuff That we do in terms of analysis gets posted here to the news and analysis section so Throughout the day feel free to go on this and Get our our thoughts and our views and uh, and the news stories that we feel are important Also that there are other webinars that that you can avail of So tonight at 1900 GMT 7 p.m. UK time. There is the trader development program part two trade trade with the position strategy That's on tonight. I recommend tuning into that on wednesday the 14th of march and 1730 GMT Ha 7 p.m. UK time.

So advertisements for the for the webinar or any kind of any sort of videos that we do throughout the session We'll get we'll get posted there along with very different data alerts notice how The chairs that I was using I very different lines written and trend lines and support resistance lines And what have you drawn on those charts? throughout throughout the day several several times a day. We'll be updating the chart forum. Which is essentially Which is essentially we take a screenshot of a chart and we put in a few hundred words and the description of the price action and what's going on with price action and in terms of potential levels to keep a mile for The chart forum can be found on market other market calls yet again and is the third option down Uh, and that's your question.

So Jalong City is the first of the 350 projects and our task here was to deliver three additional bedrooms for the staff. We're standing in one of those facilities. We have a typical standard king-size bed, wardrabs, the one for each of the shifts, an ensuite shower and wash-hand basin between two of the dorms and then there's a third bedroom further down there. Associated with that is also being some additional joinery in the office area and also some turn-out lockers to accommodate the three extra staff and a bit of external work. So a nice little compact job and we started in late May, late April and we finished mid-June so it's been a pretty tight program to achieve the June recruit deployment so we're pretty pleased. The bill has been excellent in working with us to achieve those dates and the staff on-site have been very accommodating as well. Yeah I guess it allows for a bit of more expansion, it probably allows for us to fit more staff eventually with the growing needs of Jalong and the surrounding areas, areas like Armstrong Creek are increasing in sizes, a lot more people moving to the area. We start the new recruits coming out at the end of the month. We needed to upgrade the facilities here to be able to house the recruits on-station. Those extra recruits will help us have the staffing in our appliances that we're running for in a pumper and our rescue and Bronno's running to each so we'll have a minimum, at the moment we've got a minimum staffing here of 11 so and down the track as a program expands that we'll be able to accommodate the expansion with hopefully an extra leading firefighter in our two-pump.

Thank you very much, let's see if this works. No, it doesn't good So before we start I think I should give you some provisos because this could be fairly contentious And whilst you're a nice crowd and you're generally not vegan, so you won't throw things at me There's nevertheless some room for Heat So I'll try not to mansplain. I by definition might not succeed.  I'm here to mansplain to men It is cis normative and largely hetero normative the alternative variables still need to be crunched and This is complicated enough. So I'm certainly not the expert to do the other Also, this usually is required in European conferences. I have to say sorry for Brexit I didn't vote for it. It's not really on topic, but every British speaker seems to have to say that. So there you go I've I've said it now a little bit about me I talked last year at the ancestral health symposium about paleo and appeal to nature fallacy And this is going to be a slightly different talk. So here I am in 2009 a few hours after the birth of my daughter Judith in the hospital I'm feeling quite relieved because it's been several days of labor for my wife Victoria I'm also relieved that I'm not in America. So don't have to worry about co-payments and things like that at this point Really guys. I like you but sort out your health system Between this photograph and the next photograph There was about ten days during which a crazy health visitor came to us and wrote down a mad feeding schedule Where every one and a half hours the baby had to be woken up given a specific side than another side because of Course she wasn't on the appropriate graph, which of course is based on formula feed third children After about five to ten days. We threw that piece of paper away But before that five to ten days I'd actually gone completely mad and converted that piece of paper into a pearl program Which I had on a laptop on the side of the bed And was running at every hour and it was beeping and eventually the laptop was closed And I was told if I wanted to survive it wasn't going to be opened again So that's ten days later There's there's my wife and the cat and Judith and we'd settled into things by that stage what you can't see On the other side of the sofa is the Xbox controller with which she coped with breastfeeding by playing half-life to most of the time While she was doing it This was the beginning of her breastfeeding Adventure and she eventually became a qualified anti no anti natal tutor and breastfeeding counselor And indeed the reason that she couldn't come with me today Is that one of the reasons is that she's actually teaching a big anti natal class in London yesterday and today? Her breastfeeding adventure continued And this is the article that she wrote about in The Guardian if you want to seek it out you can it's quite interesting It led to Lady Gaga calling her names So I want to talk about three times in my life that I profoundly changed my mind And they were all related to seminal books that I read and we'll start with The latest time I changed my mind it was related to this book. I don't think that'll come as a surprise to many people in this audience I Was recommended it I read it and I suddenly realized that everything we had been told about nutritional science and the health of eating was on its head and was largely to do with manipulations by industrial and pharmaceutical forces The second most recent time that I changed my mind was to do with barefoot running I eventually gave into my genetic destiny and after refusing for many years finally Decided to start running like all the rest of my family do but I was running in the usual horrible Squidgey shoes. I read this book and then I realized that again We had been manipulated by the industrial complex to suggest that we were broken and needed to fix ourselves And this was of course nonsense. So I then got the vivos and didn't look back But the first time I changed my mind was actually when I read this book after my wife's advice And it's a classic in the genre. It was written in the 70s But it's been updated the politics of breastfeeding by Gabrielle Palmer And if you haven't read it, I suggest you do it is as the title says Inspirational and a real eye-opener and you will feel very angry afterwards And you will never be able to come to a conference and be happy about the fact that they've used Nestle branded water again And again, I realized that the farmico industrial complex Had manipulated us into thinking we were defective Which that's my tale. Let's talk about what the AHS's tale is and it's largely of course tales of evolutionary mismatch Modern mismatches with the involved with the evolved environment modern mismatches with the evolved diet and Modern mismatches with evolved society. That's generally what the ancestral health symposium is about and This talk is no exception There's one mismatch that rarely gets talked about dare not speak its name perhaps And it's something that we can actually agree on whether we're keto or vegans or on a shite So whatever we call ourselves. I think we will agree that we are mammals And particularly we're carry mammals a very specific sort of mammal So if you were to describe our species to somebody visiting you might say this is probably what you'd expect to see and They wouldn't be that surprised or carry mammals They might be a little more surprised if you then said that this was a new image of what we consider Feeding our young is and when we say that we're carry mammals They might wonder what that child is doing in a prison with a piece of rubber shoved into its mouth So we clearly have some issues to discuss here that are to do with mismatch We can I think I hope agree that if we're talking about mismatches then breast milk is a profound ancestral match There is very little argument about that except if you are paid to argue about it It is one of our most important ancestral foods And I'm not going to rehearse the benefits of breast milk in this topic I'll assume that we all agree about that To one degree or another and if you look at Philip Koschinski's AHS 2014 talk the first paleo food It's breast milk, and it's alive. I highly recommend you look it up on YouTube. It's a wonderful talk as Is Abra Herne's AHS 2016 talk about optimal weaning if you look at both those talks You'll pretty much get what you need and then if you read Gabriel Palmer's book, that'll be the cherry on the top So we're mammals. This is something that should come naturally to us. Why is it such a fraught topic? We have a profound ancestral adaptation to breastfeeding developing infants expect its panoply of provisions well beyond just gross nutrition is to do with bonding and All sorts of other things. It's substantially beneficial to mothers as well in a number of very surprising ways So why are there all these problems? And they are indeed puzzling problems because here's the Lancet study about children that have any breast milk at one year in The USA 7% Australia 15% and so on but the the two statistics that I really want to look at is that one Which is unbelievably disgraceful and that one which is perhaps surprising to some What that I think shows is that as a species we haven't suddenly devolved We haven't changed clearly. There is something else at play and that thing at play is cultural and As Kimberley seals Alice says women don't breastfeed cultures breastfeed and I think those statistics clearly bear that out This might surprise you as well the reasons given for choosing Formula feeding the reason number three is the need to return to work Which you'd understand the reason number two is that the woman felt she could not trust her supply Now all of these things are again to do with mismatch. We're mismatching what we expect people to do when they have infants And we are telling people that they shouldn't trust then their native biological processes But reason number one might surprise some Which is the mother's perception of the father's attitude that was the number one given reason Why women sometimes did not choose breastfeeding which is interesting and eye-opening and Again and again, whatever study you look at successful breastfeeding is consistently correlated with male partner support So we like in this conference to go and look back at ancestral data to see Where we were and what went wrong now unfortunately ancestral data are fuzzy because paleontologists have until now Been quite obsessed with males and male rituals women tend to get marginalized Whether it's studying humans or whether it's studying chimpanzees We tend to be interested in what the males are doing by banging around sticks and so on and we ignore what the females are doing The background and we therefore missed more than half the story But we have clues from ancestral biology because of course that's our biology Women's bodies actually begin adapting to nursing when they become pregnant the milk glands grow in both size and number Whether she wants them to or not and lactation is triggered by the delivery of the placenta quite reliably Babies are born hardwired to nurses Odent says and you can actually see YouTube videos of newborn babies Manipulating themselves up to the nipple even before they have other gross motor control The interaction of nipple stimulation oxytocin and prolactin begins lactation and Lactation continues for as long as the hormonal stimulation continues. It's a demand-driven process it's a robust process once it's beginning and It's profoundly demand-driven and night feeds in particular Regulates supply so if we were looking for a way of throwing a spanner in the works. We would look at a way of damaging the beginning of the process Damaging the demand-driven nature of the process and screwing up night feeds that would be an effective recipe We have other clues from ancestral culture about what successful breastfeeding cultures look like Strong matriarchal religious customs we can look at Archaeological evidence tribal law activities of modern hunter-gatherer tribes understanding of anthropology and References to similar primates as well. You can do all those things and When we look at them we find some prehistoric commonalities which we'll discuss further Communal child rearing and feeding is common Indeed, it's common across all successful historical breastfeeding societies Males would involve themselves in the rearing of children but usually would not interfere with birth or early onset of feeding and Women continued their tasks within the tribe or society, but usually with their or indeed other people's babies attached There is evidence of deep matriarchal religious traditions to the degree where male rituals were often just an ersatz replacement for these and And Certainly, there was infant mortality through disease and predation and so forth But if we look at prehistoric societies, it was almost never as far as we can tell through starvation or infant malnutrition And we can look at modern-day tribal cultures that haven't yet completely been destroyed Men again are rarely involved in birthing or early feeding as a rule older women almost always act as channels of education Women are given substantial time and shared female company after birth infants always are attached to a mother or other women But men are often involved in child rearing soothing and play as well Co-nursing is extremely common and not the taboo it is obviously in this society and co-sleeping is the unquestioned default and an example of this today is the kong people and they were Follow a more community led model than Western societies allow infants are generally nursed to about four to five years of age The men tend to talk to their babies more than American men do according to Connor into in a 2004 study But they do not involve themselves in feeding or daily care But it was again assumed that the men didn't involve themselves at all But when it was analyzed was actually found that they involve themselves quite deeply But there were certain things that they butted out of Co-sleeping of course is the norm and new mothers are supported by knowledgeable elder women and relatives But let's not be kind of a racist noble savage types Yeah, they also do some very silly things like they discard colostrum thinking it's infected Then there is the akka tribe who are African pygmies the infants never leave attachment Women are involved in hunting actually even when they have their children, but they take their infants with them and strap them on Now what's interesting about the akka is that fathers will pacify their children by keeping them close and even letting them suckle at Their breasts to calm them down and what's interesting about this tribe is that nurturing behavior is not seen as demeaning in status even to High status men the majority of akka infants also are breastfed by women sometimes who are not their mothers and Of course if we look at Traditional religious beliefs that have echoes from prehistory there is full imagery of stories venerating breastfeeding and Associating it with our very spiritual and animalistic core the story at the end is actually an illustration in Hinduism of putano Who's one of the most fascinating characters? I think in all religious literature and you should look her up because a very ambivalent and interesting tale I don't think you get more ambivalent say outside ecclesiasties to be honest But of course that's seeped into Christianity and it's reflected in Catholicism and orthodoxy even today in the Maria Lakhtan's Iconography we can see how important that the notion of breastfeeding is for both spirituality and our continued physical existence and Indeed one of the miracles is the murray the miraculous lactation of Saint Bernard where he asked a statue of Mary to prove her Divinity and she squirted him with some of her breast milk and that was the miracle So we have a recipe now I think for successful breastfeeding women centric peer support women centric and culturation of breastfeeding knowledge Societal means including religion that value and venerate it Very little male involvement in birth rituals and initial mother-child bonding But good later male involvement in child nurturing and modeling so what disrupted this recipe and I think it's the boogeyman that's usually mentioned at this symposium and that's of course Agriculture now I'm actually not going to agree completely with Jared Diamond that it was the worst mistake in the history of the human race because for Every enormity that it brought it also allowed us to go and visit the moon create tacharters and fugues and have conferences like these so It's that we can take what we want from it, but there were deleterious effects Agriculture put into play that were confounders against breastfeeding that remain powerful today strict hierarchies strict schedules Obsessions with apportionment the devaluing of the feminine the over-emphasizing of what society considers the masculine and replacing what I call hunter-gatherer inefficient meta-stability with agricultural efficient instability and In the sense agriculture did not invent patriarchy, but it did systematize and globalize it But it didn't lead to an immediate disruption of all breastfeeding This mustn't look like it was a sudden binary state and we immediately started throwing goats milk down our Infants next but female-led birthing and feeding culture Asia mentioned that even in the society success remained But devaluing the feminine and the insistence on the patriarchal hierarchy did have effects and we begin to see at the beginning of agriculture evidence of infant desperate infant feeding strategies with bottles and goods and so on Usually sadly we find unsuccessful which indicate that many societies where peer feeding had collapsed as part of agricultural apportionment people were Desperate and there was a pressure on women as well, especially higher status women to stop breastfeeding in order to provide more airs Which brings us to the more generalized notion of male intervention which really caused problems The true feeding crisis began with male intervention and if you haven't seen this scene from Monty pythons the meaning of life I suggest you do because it pretty much summarizes this point So in the 17th and 18th century the female and what it represented was inferior pathologized and in need of repair help from New learned and enlightened men from the 18th century female sexuality and reproduction was systematically pathologized Women were seen as fragile and they're barely able to function without male assistance. This was in a sense the dark side of the Enlightenment Traditional Gynephobia was carefully systematized and legitimized for example hysteria and the wandering womb Which we had as ancient memes from the Greeks were suddenly revivified and turned into pseudo scientific hypotheses As Margaret Meade said in 1950 maleness has to be underwritten by preventing women from entering some field or performing some feet and This had repercussions throughout even Women managing their own reproduction So that brings us to artificial infant feeding The industrial revolution happened which learned some lessons from our culture and doubled down on them There was a further displacement of women who are now also needed in male specified work capacity And their requirement to feed children was an unnecessary burden on the factory system Also, it produced gluts which could be commoditized and new needs could be created to deal with those gluts Again the female was inferior pathologized and in need of repair this time from industry midwives were displaced as birth itself was medicalized and pathologized and Anybody who knows the story of Semmelweis knows that this wasn't a benign replacement Remember when he suggested that Surgeons helping women giving birth might want to clean their hands He was told to shut up because gentlemen's hands are clean and thereby a generation of doctors killed a generation of mothers Then there were baby farms and the toppling of the wet nurse from her pedestal formulas Patent medicine shysters to feed babies instead of breast milk were invented if you've ever wondered why it's called formula Think of snake oil because that's where it was born people who put together a bunch of magical Ingredients to shove down your baby when you thought your baby was poorly And that's why it was a formula each one had his own special bespoke patent formula And as you can see by this time the notion of breastfeeding or certainly of being aware of not even not using a wet nurse Was considered terrible a 19th century writer on customs in northern Germany a woman who wanted to nurse her infant herself Was openly called swinish and filthy by the local women her husband threatened He would no longer eat anything she prepared if she did not give up this disgusting habit So if you think that our squeamishness today is relatively recent. It's been brewing for some time So let's look at the ingredients of baby formula You need a scoop of disempowering patriarchal agriculturalism whip up a pathologization of women's bodies discourage female-led and culturation at alienating male-dominated birthing regimens and pour in a glass of poor quality cows milk and an industrialized process to dry it and That is the inevitable result and it remains thus today so What happened was women were told they were deficient and in need of industrial help as Women took that industrial help. They indeed became deficient Because their milk supply dwindled by a concomitant lack of stimulation They then became beholden to that industrial help grateful to it even though unwittingly its victim We've seen these vicious cycles in so many areas and this is just yet another one of them So the industrial narrative is lactation is delicate fraught arcane atavistic and they say you are lucky ladies to have us the annoying reality which still sometimes is allowed to poke through is That few women are actually biologically incapable of feeding their babies some are but as the results from Cameroon showed That's physiologically rare Women who haven't nursed in decades are capable of reestablishing lactation Even women who have never breastfed can lactate with stimulation It's robust women are robust and we are still despite Nestlé and Donon's best efforts carry mammals And as a profound example of this here's the grandmother Aisha Modu breastfeeding her granddaughter After the mother her daughter was murdered by insurgents and she relactated This is the most successful way of helping children in disaster zones and it's shown to be very good for child mortality unlike shipping in Formula which is disastrous So there's a business model that play of course there is Alienate women from their bodies alienate women from their bonding alienate women from co-sleeping alienate culture from infant rearing reciprocity atomize and commoditize Caregiving and on top of this and for this formula companies have been truly Psychopathic which is why when I look at this Nestlé bottle. I can't be happy about it Nestlé dressed saleswomen as nurses in developing nations with unsafe water They pretended to be nurses Their job was to discourage mothers from safe breastfeeding and into deadly but profitable formula feeding and deadly is not an exaggeration The water in this area was deadly if you fed it to an infant But they were told this is what sophisticated white people do don't be a savage Have formula in their colored clinics This is nest this is and was Nestlé's business model They do it in slightly more subtle ways today, but frankly not that much more subtle as we will examine The formula companies real job was to turn women with bodily agency into indentured industrial supplicants and they succeeded They encouraged women to consider breastfeeding as fraught and problematic They imply that their solutions were modern and progressive They bribed the medical community into reliance and they demonized milk banks milk sharing and other breastfeeding Cooperatives and this happened and continues to happen till today during the 80s AIDS epidemic that was a particular fruitful time for the companies to do that and They medical eye a medicalized birth again pathologizes women's experience until recently and I don't know whether it still happens here Women were put on in a wheelchair as soon as they arrived at hospital when they were about to give labor Hospitals run on military lines Babies are expected to shape up to military expectations and a way to deal with this is to titrate them formula to ensure this They need to be on the graph and in dust industry of manufactured failure to thrive crises are saved by artificial feeding and If you look at the little picture there, that's from a recent Formula companies poster. I'm thinking of getting a t-shirt made danger saw boobs says cow and gate a major Formula company in the UK where after one year 1% of women still breastfeed Companies find their way today to weedle their way around promotional regulations They invent new species categories like follow-on milk, which they can advertise the brand And they pretend to be there to help breastfeeding mothers But just emphasize the fraught fragile otherness of it This is from a website that I talked just a couple of weeks ago on the left is from from this formula companies website It's common breastfeeding problems and on the right moving on to formula feeding or combination feeding I wonder what they're trying to imply that Breast is best is given lip service But we think we know the reality when we have a whole industry carefully nudging the other narrative It's also a horrible phrase and this is one of my wife's pet peeves It suggests it's some premium option as opposed to the default option for Carrie mammals modern Medical institutions pay shallow abeasance to this but in reality Attempting to bully a woman who's bathed in agribusiness patriarchal memes at the last minute is not a successful strategy You know, they might squeeze out a few drops at the hospital tick the box and then she goes away and the hospital congratulates itself Bullying a woman and culture aided into accepting body bodily failure without ancestral levels of support It's like trying to bully someone obese into exercise It's not a winning strategy The reality behind the baby friendly lip service Medical institutions remain profoundly hostile to the actual culture required for breastfeeding So let's Talk about traditional Western masculinity and its complicity in all of this Paradeed perhaps but nevertheless there fear of the womanly other Jealous control woman her body fear that other men might look at her breasts And even envy at an infant for partaking of organs. He considers his primary sexual property These are all reflected even today in anti-natal classes when people are being frank But there were some opportunities from feminism to reform this but also to be exploited Mid-century feminism did bring liberation to women to a large degree women were empowered to demand their rights a focus on true Equality a demand for opportunities previously denied and an emphasis on empowerment rather than subjugation But there was also an ironic manipulation by the patriarchal milieu Liberation often came by encouraging women to aspire to the masculine masculine notions of the commercial and the mercantile success were Privileged and unique female abilities and perceived roles were belittled even the choice of domesticity was seen as failure And we see this today in art in pink shaming as it's called in UK I don't know whether it's come here yet the notion that whether it's voices upon her or not the very notions of princessdom and fairydom and whatever are inherently less valuable than the notions of a gun and a tank and Whatever else a boy should play with and in the article that I referenced there women and mothers and and and fathers who thought they were liberated were so happy when the daughter ditched the pink and Took the water pistol or whatever else because that was better Formula PR does co-opt feminism and this is another great book called the big let down which again, I would recommend you read Phrase like you're not a you're not a heifer be liberated from your baby get your life back it's your choice hun and also most painful to Kimberley seals Alice who herself is African-American is breastfeeding is what white people do doubly ironic bearing in mind the Cameroon data and She said very poignantly we have been told a message that we should not trust our bodies to do what our bodies can do No one wakes up and worries their kidneys won't work if there isn't a reason when it comes to lactation It's something women doubt. It is the messaging we receive when we're given infant formula just in case Already the seed of doubt is placed in our mind Yeah, you better get a dialysis machine in just in case And There is an ironic Manipulation by the patriarchal milieu of this notion of feminism get back to work as soon as possible Punk pump manically if you must prioritize early separation from your infant You need to emancipate yourself back into corporate and consumer life Accommodation to women is made on male terms The world of work uber Alice become active workers again become active consumers again stop being unproductive in the patriarchal sense In the world of work uber Alice the default creature doesn't feed its children Any creature that joins the world of work that needs to feed its children is othered and is an alien those aliens If lucky are allowed to pump manically in between meetings. This allows those aliens to earn a salary They must then use most of their salary to pay for the privilege of being away from their children in order to earn that salary What would a world of work look like where the default creature did feed its children? Problematically, maybe it would look something like this But just as problematically It also looks like that In both cases I suggest something is wrong But here to rescue everything is the new man Now as I said traditional masculinity Women are subordinate men are the primary provider and protector Martial virtual virtues predominate and there is very little involvement with child rearing The second way feminist new man that started in the 70s and progress into the 80s women equal partners men and women share roles Emotional virtues predominate and substantial involvement with child rearing, which is of course all good However, it can be manipulated Where it is good it allows men to escape the strictures of patriarchal roles however People can exploit it and this is a very famous Athena poster from the late 70s Which in any generation before that in the 20th century would have been quite scandalous New man is ripe for commercial exploitation As we can see from this recent website And it starts right from the beginning men are now predominantly Involved in childbirth male partners now attend births routinely. This is unprecedented in our species history with very unbivalent results I'd like to think I was a help Women report worrying about their partner rather than focusing on birth and this early stress can actually lead to an Important disruption in early bonding that leads to successful feeding and the new man can be irritatingly Helpful he feels left out of the feeding bond He wants to muscle into the mother-child dyad Pressures her to pump so he can have a go wants to help with the night feeds. We need to get our old life back, honey Dad helps with the night feeds as there is less stimulation at night production is down regulated as production is down regulated Man swoops in to help even more as man swoops into his final decision that the child needs industrial assistance His wife may be defective, but dad has saved the day And so we look at the tale of noble Sir Blonde de Blanc Sir Blonde de Blanc does nip out on his charger at three in the morning to the night shop for formula that he might Give his wife a break. Huzzah for Sir Blonde de Blanc He saved the day and night Verily rescue with he his poor feeble damsel in distress from her womenly decrepitude and incompetence Oh, what model of a heroic new man out though noble Sir Blonde de Blanc the moral of the tale is that Men often offer to do night feeds to the exclusion of many other useful tasks that you would be more suited for And then he's lauded by his peers as a result. What a noble new man He is women do not experience similar adulation when they feed their babies at night, of course They're just women. They're not noble Blonde de Blanc and Here is our ex-prime minister David Cameron showing what a good new man does dad feeding is now a status symbol and You better let him have a go So he's feeding his infant and then he's feeding somebody else's infant over there as well It's just you know, that's that's the symbol for nurturing By the way as it happens in reality few artificially fed sheep survive to adulthood and farmers tried desperate to get used to adopt and nurse orphaned or ejected lambs, but we don't talk about that because that's cute that lamb will probably die soon ha ha Now is in some respects new man just the old man in disguise and Maybe he's just a greedy aversion of the old man You see old man was terrible but at least through his disgust and belittling of them He allowed women their unique space in birth and feeding Now the new man wants to have a go He wants to diminish the unique capabilities of womanhood as a mere lifestyle choice and he complains if the bonding isn't on his terms early on Maybe some new men are just solipsistic appropriators So how do we fix this?  That's that's it So I hope we can get on with that now that seriously What we actually have to do is we have to challenge the default bottle feeding is considered the default civilized option Whatever the breast is best narrative is breastfeeding is the fraught other the barely attainable premium option Men and women need to challenge this From big ways to little ways there was an app that I was using to learn different languages and the symbol for Family words was a bottle. This is just so ubiquitous in our culture We need to find new models a fatherhood Nurturing the mother and infant as a dyad. We need to treat them as one There are plenty of chores that men can do not just helping to feed the baby You know if a man does every single other chore in the house and just leaves his partner to feed the baby That's plenty to be getting on with Also babies are not capable of bonding properly with more than one individual in the early weeks and then sometimes worry about this But we're not missing out in some essential imprinting at that point Also do not make a decision at three in the morning to be so blonde to blonde 3 a.m. Is not the time to make such life changing decisions Instead we really need to educate ourselves on normal ancestral feeding behavior babies do not surprisingly respond to military schedules We should talk to friends with children and learn from both the good and the bad. They're a very useful resource for that We shouldn't assume that our partner is fundamentally broken just because she's tired or has moments of doubt We shouldn't assume that the baby is in severe trouble just because of some early feeding issues And whilst we should take sensible medical advice We must not be swayed by emotional blackmail that quote there was something that was told to my Friend when the baby was like half a percentile of the graph you were supposed to be He'll need to be tube-fed if you don't give him formula now And how do you respond to that? Of course that's nonsense If you must feed someone feed your partner not your infant Your partner had confidence in her body to feed her baby for nine months Why is the baby's birth cause to lose this confidence? reminder of her strength and primal primal abilities because Remember the number one reason for choosing formula feeding is the mother's perception of the father's attitude And again successful breastfeeding is consistently correlated with male partner support So when we find new models of fatherhood, we can act as counselors and cheerleaders as a help mate not a bottle filler We can advocate and role model for breastfeeding support amongst our peers And where we have influential positions in a workplace Let's consider being radically child friendly and it's really difficult to think about that in our society with such rigid notions of what it is To be in the labor force, but maybe we can find our inner akka And my wife said that I had to add this line by all means have one, but don't be a dick We need to accept our secondary role in the fourth trimester with grace because our time will come Thank you very much So suggesting that obstetricians should provide good advice and should model for women to do good breastfeeding The problem is Frankly, there's no money in it And There are some horrible terms in the united kingdom for women in particular who try to encourage breastfeeding They call breast nazis. They call the breast starpo and so on And when my wife is called this when she's doing breastfeeding counseling, she says Do you think there's a lot of money in promoting this? Do you think that we're all rolling in our breast milk gold here? Who do you where do you think the moneyed interests are? Who do you think really Have the money to promote these interests if you look in a midwives magazine Every third page is for formula Despite the lip service This is a very skewed battle, which is why I think A top-down approach probably won't work I don't think you are going to be able to change the minds of this generation's obstetricians because they see Birth as a fraught military medicalized adventure that they need to control and titrate very carefully And they are not going to leave it to the messy uncertain biological process that breastfeeding is It's much easier to To measure exactly the amount of formula it is Titrated into the baby Allow the baby to drink it and then weigh the baby's diaper an hour later to make sure it all came out This is literally people are told to weigh their diapers to see how much it goes completely Crazy and that's not a society that's going to Be friendly to breastfeeding one of the things that has come as a surprise to every single person I know who's had a child who does breastfeed Is that because we're so used to the clock We're so used to military apportionment I can't believe it that baby just stayed on for hours and hours or half fall asleep and wake up again Half fall asleep and wake up again and whinge of it and then go back on it just never stopped Yeah, they do that we're calorie mammals And that seems to come as a surprise came as a surprise to us as well Which is why we're giving that hysterical sheet of stop start stop start and I wrote my program people are told to expect them to fit into the schedule as if they are part of the military and I think until women Uh are allowed to rebuild Their own culture that models to the next generation of women. We're going to be lost here I'm fortunate in my family that my wife was able to model to my Brother's wife and that's my brother over there with his daughter Jessica And she then took it as natural to breastfeed Jessica Modelled to my other brother's wife who's here today who fed her son as well And our daughters in respect have now seen their mothers just sit around and do it as if it's nothing in the world I think that's far more powerful than an obstetrician who gives a woman a leaflet um again, I think perhaps Males and that was represented by male culture, which even if they are female obstetricians are Need to step back and stop interfering quite as much Are there any other questions? Sure. I'll repeat it Thank you It's it's true and um it's a Very fraught issue, but again, I don't want to Make women feel guilty about Either being forced to or making the choice to that's not what we're about. It's like bullying Um people who are obese or diabetics or whatever it does. It doesn't work. That's not what we're here about now as it happened Uh, my wife was in labor for about four and a half days And it wasn't progressing and eventually, uh, I think my daughter was kind of Reloged in a weird position and then they were worried that she was Dropping oxygen so they gave her an emergency c-section and she was very grateful for that because um, you know after four and a half days and Things being put on my daughter's head to measure her oxygen saturation and things going beep Uh, she wanted it to end and and she was a and at that while while my wife was being sewn up, um, judith Attached latched on to me during skin to skin and was very annoyed that I let her down and couldn't provide her with anything so It was an important Representation of my role for the first few weeks from that point. So I think we also mustn't um Make women feel desperate and guilty if because that's why I don't want to demonize completely industry and agriculture and so on because for women who need it uh Caesarean sections are lifesavers. It's just that you're right in certain societies They're there because the obstetrician has an appointment on the golf course and needs it to happen more quickly And that is the area that we need to focus on Yes, which is ridiculous No, and that's and some people do some people say oh, well, it's just women are not strong anymore or whatever But then you say well, hold on. That's the same question with recipe. Oh, yeah. Well, you know most women's Supply fails really 90 come around 1 u.k We're not that different as a species between continents Any other questions or comments? Sure When I look and it's obviously very difficult to look and especially because we can't go back in a time machine But what we do is we try and piece together as much evidence as we have from writings About early cultures and from artifacts from early cultures and things like that as well as traditions that are passed down through Religious and tribal law and so on and what hunter-gatherers do today and what we tend to find is that Males are not involved in Birth rituals. They are actively kicked out. They are told this is not a place for you go away Uh, and they're not involved in Getting themselves mixed into the initial Inception of breastfeeding But they are much more involved than we thought in other parts of nurturing and modeling and so on and the akatribe For example, we'll always sue the child It's it's a taboo in the akatribe For example that a baby should cry a baby should never cry. It doesn't matter whose baby it is If in the unlikely event that the baby is out of somebody's arms It doesn't matter if you're a male or a female you pick up that baby. You put it to your breast And so that's the sort of and of course there are some Societies and tribes where the the men probably won't speak to their children until they're five years old And there are others like the akur are involved right from the beginning, but what's really common is Except in modern western society men are not involved in birth Right at that point and they're not involved in initiation of feeding that's considered a right and indeed a privilege of The woman and her female Society around her who will come in involved there. There is a Namibian society where A woman an anthropologist went and interviewed various women there and said yeah, you know sometimes It is a bit difficult and you know your nipples do get sore So they said how did it help you? Well, I've got this grandmother and this aunt and this extended family I've got about 20 people who come in and help me and make sure I don't have any other tasks to do and Teach me how to do it properly and give them tricks of the trade and so on And that's just expected and happens naturally if you're at home And you've got your husband over there who's a bit annoyed because he's got to go back to work And he's sleep deprived and you're just there and maybe if you're lucky your mother will come and visit you Once every two days. It's a very different story It works post-menopause. Yes the all the oldest woman who had a child through Either there was an adopted woman in India and she adopted a child I think she was in her 70s and she breastfed the child Women who Are have never lactated even if they are menopausal if there is enough simulation Can engender it the actual the default position is actually lactation There are hormones that are constantly stopping you from lactating basically So if you do anything that lessens the Anti-prolactin or whatever it's called then you kind of start lactating as you Expect that's the design to make it much more of a robust process I'm told I have to stop now. So if there's any other questions, uh, we can talk about it outside. Thank you


Welcome back to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco styles and on this channel. We talk about beauty fashion lifestyle and styling Sorry guys. I did not do a video last Sunday and This past Wednesday. I was away on vacation I was in Los Angeles and I'll just tell you guys a quick little story time while I show you these Rings that I that my little brother purchased for me At um a jury He's so sweet guys like I was trying to buy two rings.  My mom has some big old feet and hands and I got them, but um La was cool. I had a connecting flight. So this is kind of like a story time At the same time as showing you guys this so I had a connecting flight Both ways. Oh Usually when I book flights I take Delta. I'm not even gonna lie I just don't have time for the struggle, but my little brother paid for everything So Connecting flights now. It's not to say that he went the cheap route. I think that was just popping up for California Few things that I noticed because we we landed in Miami so both ways But for whatever reason coming back was like the absolute worst guys. It was so That was a long ride like it just seemed really long Well, I stayed at it a pretty decent hotel And I'll tell you what I noticed one thing about me is that I don't like I Don't like it. I'm gonna say I don't like fake people like Nose up in the air people who you can really tell that they don't really they're not really that way um the hotel had a food party one day and it was Private party But the people in the hotel could go but you have to basically put them on the list, right? Sorry, so here's the earrings majority. I'm not earrings the the ring so We were waiting so they put us on the list to go Into the party the food party. Can you guys see that? They're so pretty So we were waiting on the line and this guy pulls up so he wasn't on the list I didn't know if they were paying to get in. I didn't know so he says He's the one that pulled up in the Ferrari And I was just like, oh wow, but they can rent cars out there. So I didn't know what his Motive was. I don't know. Maybe he just was sure. I don't know So we finally get upstairs and I knew it was gonna be exactly what it was which was a trash There's like maybe seven people in the pool Everybody was just literally just standing around What is going on guys? I don't dance But I definitely have a good time when I go out, right? But people were just like standing around like it was just I Didn't know what I've seen pool parties and people are just having a good time The music was extremely low. So I didn't know if people could really like I don't enjoy themselves, but It wasn't worth that. I think we went for like five minutes and that was it Um, so I'm gonna show you how it unpacks and then I'll tell you about the homeless. Oh My goodness, there's so many homeless people out there. So sad. So here the two rings Um Here the two rings, right? Since my hands are so big I have to get a size 10 big old hands, right? Now it was so hot out there. So some of the rings were like I Was trying to put it on my right hand and she said all your right is your right hand is your dominant hand Cuz you're always writing with it. So it swells up a lot more because I really wanted to point to rings and if it's on my left hand fine, but the right hand It's like struggle so And I'm gonna put the name of these rings in the description bar And also guys, these are the 14 karat ones. Okay, the reason why I got these is because I'm just kind of tired of like the jewelry and you know, that's not lasting Um, you have to think about because they have vermal. I think it's called for May They have her may they have silver and then they have 14 karat gold. I'll say this I would recommend Just going for the 14 karat. It is more money But at least you know that you're gonna have it for a long time. I Still love costume jury. I do know that I Cannot do earrings where the stem is not Sterling silver if I do I don't only I only can wear them for one day. Otherwise my ear lobes are going to start hurting That's just what it is. I have brass earrings that I purchased from African vendors umpteen years ago Never had an issue with my ear lobe because the stem of it is So here are the two rings and I don't know because I want to create like a nice little situation here and Always have like some nice rings on my hand because my hands are big I don't really like the super dainty rings. I kind of feel like I'm gonna break them And I don't know why I cuz I'm a little rough for my hands. So these two here. I absolutely love but So, let's see Did I put that nope didn't put the receipt in here One was 350 which is the one This one here was 350 and this one was 300 But I like them. So these are size 10 if you have big hands anything past a 10 I Don't think they go past a 10.  She was by ring and they would just Cut it and they would you know extend it for her because she had big hands I don't know. I got some big old feet to even my shoes. I bought some boots from I'm stowed. I'm gonna pop in a photo here. They're packaged back up. I have to send them back because This zipper doesn't zipper up. They're really nice pair of boots They don't have the color anymore, so I'm gonna opt for another color I did end up going to the stowed store in California in LA Nice cute little store The boots that I have downstairs are the red ones And they're like a candy red, they're really nice I didn't want to get the suede ones because I wasn't sure if they were gonna hit us hit me with the fake suede But when I sold them in the store, I was like, oh these are suede Like it's very hard to find real suede These days these people are calling things suede and it's not suede But the boots don't they don't zipper up. I'm gonna see I change them for the camel color I'll pop that in too Because I actually sold them in the store. They have a green pair like a military color I'll pop that in as well It looks darker online, but in store it's not it's kind of like a It says Allah Well, I guess so because I guess it is an olive color because it's more of a lighter green Than that dark army green if that makes sense But they're both actually really really really cute So I got a size of 11 once you guys know I'm actually a 10 and a half, but I always go for 11 I should have just got 12 or 11 and a half I don't know because the red ones are super cute, but I'm gonna send them back I'm gonna send them back and I'm gonna end up just getting the other ones It's like a I want to say it's kind of like A camel kind of like this color here Yeah, he's on my own on my coasters and um So I'm gonna go back and get those Oh, I I'm returning those and they're gonna ship me the other ones Um, and then I'll show you guys when those come my only issue was that the boots were Pre-order I was waiting for a tracking number so I could track them before I went on vacation And I didn't get it. They I went to the store. She said yeah, it's still same processing They ended up emailing me telling me that it was delivered on The fourth it's sitting in front of my home for like four days So I wasn't afraid that somebody was gonna take it. I was more afraid that it was gonna be like bugs in it, right? Um, but the boots are really really nice. Like I said, I'm just they're just packaged up already But let's talk about the homeless in LA. So In hollywood, it's just a lot of You know, I in new york they are There are a lot of homeless people See back in the day I used to see them and then I just they just kind of like We'll be like here and there, right? They're still down there not as much as hollywood So I was trying to figure out like why isn't so bad? Was it covet? You know the people come here and try to Live a dream and then it didn't work out for them. Um One uber guy told me that it was COVID after COVID he's like after COVID it just kind of went left or whatever um, and then The other uber guy said And I remember this story. He said well What he heard was that the colder states were giving homeless people a one-way ticket to a hotter state And I was like, I remember hearing that So I don't know how true that is but I could honestly see them doing that. Um I mean I seen young I seen old It was just very sad and it just made me just think like, you know I don't know like where's the family or maybe they don't want to go to family I don't know, but it was just a sad situation to see here in Atlanta. We do have a lot of homeless people I know when I first moved here, they had closed one of the biggest shelters that they had for them So just outside, um I don't know. I just wish it was like a better way Like we should never have homeless veterans like if you fought for the country We should not have homeless veterans. Um, I don't know That's just how I see it, but that was like the downside. Just that was like sad for me But um, I did go to rodeo drive I didn't do any shopping. It was so hot Okay I will go back Trust me. It was so hot that I really couldn't even vlog Like it was like a heat advisory. Like it was just insanely hot. Um, I did go to a really cool restaurant called 208 208 No 208 rodeo. Sorry 208 rodeo Very good. The food was amazing And it's in like this little enclosed area on rodeo drive. Um, I had a really good time. I stayed at the dream hotel the room was I'm probably gonna piece together the vlog that I got Because I did do that But that room was so small. It was hot They ended up switching me to a like sweet room Which was so much better because the first room had oh my god I'm gonna see if I can get a picture because I think they have it online Online, but the walls in the bathroom area was like wood And it was dark the lights were dark. Like I'm like, I can't even do makeup in here It was just so so dark But the room that they switched me to was so bright like it was just like night and day Um, other than that, I think it was a decent time. We went to the beach. We ended up going to Santa Monica beach, uh, which was It looks like It looks like corny island beach in the Bronx. I mean in Brooklyn. Um Yeah, they had like a little amusement park in here And they have a lot of seagulls on the beach um, I had a lot more fun in The fort on the fort lot of their beach at the fort lot of their beach um We ate a lot of course and let me see what else Just kind of like drove around my brother ran in the car so we can just like get around the city.  I don't know because it started there But it was kind of high um one uber I went to He drove me to the grove. So one uber guy Was like his car was so hot guys like I mean like So how to keep with the air on And in this day, I think it was like night. So he puts the air on it was blowing horrible. So okay, okay So I guess this is what I observed if you order uber X I think that's the first one just a regular uber cab. You're most likely to get a car. That's kind of crappy I'm so serious. They have like tons and tons and tons of uber uber eco uber black uber for they have Which I thought was really cool. They have for um people in wheelchairs. I thought that was great um, but his cab was so hot so we get to the destination and he's like Don't forget my star And I'm like, sir, it was scorching hot in here so hot, but um You know, it was a pretty cool trip I don't know if I would live there if I did move there. It would be literally in Beverly Hills Or in the burb somewhere where I don't have to deal with like the city Um, but other than that, it was a really really good trip. I did get these I was looking for oh, I bought some jeans from Zara, but They're just like you guys probably already seen them. They have like a little slip I just couldn't find them in my size here, but I did find them there Um, but other than that, it was a really great trip traveling as a tall woman guys It's a struggle. This was the first time I actually just took a carry-on whoo and it was like I thought it was gonna be really bad, but I had to Say to myself like everything you don't need these big things just grab the small things Take two or three of them if you need to And be done, but I was able to pack five outfits in my carry-on and I had two pair of jeans in there I had shorts jeans um A dress things like that, but it was it was cool. So Yes, my brother purchased my beautiful rings They're really really cute I love them. This is just but it was a good it was a good trip a good trip for me to go on I hadn't seen my brother in some time.  Um, I'm gonna I guess I'm gonna take those boots back I'm upset because they don't have any more, but realistically I was like, do I really need a pair of cherry red boots? They're really nice. I wanted them. I just had a vision for them, but the other color I will get more course per wear out of them now It's not to say I won't get the red ones when they come back and stop. Um, and they were 515 They're really good quality boot. Like if they weren't wrapped up downstairs, I will show you guys, but they're really good quality boot I absolutely love them.  Honestly. Um, it's not stowed as stod. He told me it was stod Um, they have really good quality stuff but that's it I just wanted to come out here and just quickly chit chat about my little trip And show you guys my cute rings and again, these are size 10 I have some some space here, which I probably could have got a nine for this finger. Um I don't know if I'm going to keep it on his hand. It's just figuring out where I want to wear them But this is the thing that that's a little snug, which is crazy because it fits on this finger No problem I don't know The woes of being a tall girl, but I love them. I think they're pretty so I'm gonna try to create like Again one was three the plain one was 300 And then the one with the little details was 350. Um, and they're 14 14 characters Yeah So that's it guys, I just wanted to jump on here and make sure you guys didn't forget about me Also, I am going to Get my Invisalign my sparkle line is checked out today I'm on trade 23, which is one of the ones that are considered the retainer ones Um, and today I'm gonna tell them that I probably want some more just to Really get that perfect smile. So but everything's still going good with that Um, and then once I once I once I see what they say today I'll probably do another video Um on how many more trades I'm going to get I don't know. What do you guys think?
