A charitable organization has created an urban farm in Chicago that provides agriculture training and employment to young adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Using grant monies received from Autism Speaks and other organizations, Growing Solutions Farms, managed by the Julie and Michael Tracy Family Foundation (JMTF)/Urban Autism Solutions, turned a once-vacant piece of land on Chicago’s West Side into an acre-sized vocational and life training ground. More than 30 young men and women from area schools and JMTF residents were hired as paid interns on the farm. Not only did the experience allow them to earn money, it also helped them to develop skills such as following a schedule, performing specific tasks, and asking for help when needed, which can assist in their transition to adulthood.

Sean Kemery maintains a strong interest in the financial sphere and follows macro-level trends for various commodities. In making trading decisions, technical analysis is often employed to determine entry and exit points. Predictive charts are generated to consider factors such as volume and price patterns. Moving averages (MA) are a key indicator within this and involve finding the average closing price over a specified period of time. Taking a close look at the MA can often yield insight into hidden trends and get beyond the random short-term fluctuations that occur with any equity. Another popular indicator of momentum is the relative strength index (RSI), which sets in place a 0 to 100 scale that helps determine whether the market is currently oversold or overbought. Typically, a RSI of 70 and above is seen as an indicator of an overbought situation and under 30 of an oversold situation. That said, traders often set in place their own preferred parameters, which rely on a complex range of commodity- and market-specific inputs. Throughout his career in commodity trading, Sean Kemery has served in various capacities for such firms as Merrill Lynch & Company, AIG Financial Products, and UBS AG. Currently, he leads the commodity index trading division as a senior director at Deutsche Bank in New York City.
