Wave theory, to explain the origin of colors. Robert Hooke 1635-1703 developed a pulse theory and compared the spreading of a light to that of waves in water in his 1665 work Micrographia Observation IHEX. In 1672 Hooke suggested that light's vibrations could be perpendicular to the direction of propagation. Christiane Onhegans 1629-1695 worked out a mathematical wave theory of a light in 1678, and published it in his treatise Own Light in 1690. He proposed that light was emitted in all directions as a series of waves in a medium called the luminiferous ether. As waves are not affected by gravity, it was assumed that they slowed down upon entering the densored medium. The wave theory predicted that light waves could interfere with each other like sound waves as noted around 1800 by Thomas Young. Young showed by means of a diffraction experiment that light behaved as waves. He also proposed that different colors were caused by different wavelengths of light, and explained color vision in terms of three colored receptors in the eye. Another supporter of the wave theory was Leon Tarr-Euler. He argued in Novotheorio Lucy said colorum 1746 that diffraction could more easily be explained by a wave theory. In 1816 Andrew Murray Ampere gave Augustin Jean Freinelle an idea that the polarization of a light can be explained by the wave theory if light were a transverse wave. Later, Freinelle independently worked out his own wave theory of a light, and presented it to the academia desciences in 1817. Simeon Dennis Poisson added to Freinelle's mathematical work to produce a convincing argument in favor of the wave theory, helping to overturn Newton's corpuscular theory. By the year 1821, Freinelle was able to show via mathematical methods that polarization could be explained by the wave theory of a light and only if light was entirely a transverse, with no longitudinal vibration whatsoever. The weakness of the wave theory was that light waves, like sound waves, would need a medium for transmission. The existence of the hypothetical substance Luminiferous Ether proposed by Huygens in 1678 was cast into strong doubt in the late 19th century by the Michelson Morley experiment. Newton's corpuscular theory implied that light would travel faster in the denser medium, while the wave theory of Huygens and others implied the opposite. At that time, the speed of a light could not be measured accurately enough to decide which theory was correct. The first to make a sufficiently accurate measurement was Leon Foucault, in 1850. His result supported the wave theory, and the classical particle theory was finally abandoned, only to partly re-emerge in the 20th century.


鸡蛋牛奶网糙 有一天我看过三个鸟 Mmm, that's good. That is honestly one of the best rojamoas I've ever had. I think every rojamoa should be built like this. Oh, that's so good in the soup. This was like one of the best things I've ever eaten, man. The quality is all-star-level. Our next Chinese region is not just a province, but an ancient trade route. At one point, the Silk Road was the only link from the Western world to the Middle East to East Asia. They traded things like silk, horses, spices, and of course food recipes. Some say it's how Marco Polo ended up bringing noodles and dumplings back from China to Italy. The food that occurred along the Silk Road is a fascinating mix of different influences. Each city along the pathway from Gansu to Henan to Xi'an and more was impacted in a different way by the Silk Road. Our first spot is Donghuang, named after a city in Gansu province on the edge of the Gobi Desert. There was a major stop on the Silk Road. Let's go.  We are starting in a place called Donghuang, Gansu. Now, Lanzhou is the capital of Gansu, but you know, it's bordering a ton of different places and you see that reflected in the food. Now, I think immediately a lot of people are not familiar with the name of Gansu, but it's a very, very significant province when it comes to the Silk Road, most notably the big cities as Donghuang and Lanzhou. And a lot of people are, of course, familiar with the Lanzhou Lamyen, which is, you know, the famous noodles, which they do have here.  So the food is very colorful, but it also uses a lot of the dry rubs. I will tell you this, guys. If you are only familiar with American Chinese food, maybe Shanghainese food, Cantonese food, Taiwanese, you are not going to recognize much of this. But I can assure you, Donghuang is delicious. I got to give a huge shout out to our sponsor of this video, Raw Wallets. As you can see, they got a brand new logo. We talked about this wallet about six or seven years ago. We gave it a great review. I still think it's a great wallet. As you can see, you can wear it in your front pocket, back pocket, key chain loop right here. Really sleek, you know, modern materials. They stretch out, room for your cash, membership cards, ID cards, credit cards, debit cards, metro card. And I like how the cash sticks out on both sides, but it really traps it in there. This, like, is not going anywhere, guys. This is not becoming loose, and it's low profile. For me, the way I carry AirPods, you know, light with me, everything, this goes right in my pocket. I'm ready to go Raw Wallets. Andrew, of course, we have the Dapanji. Man, I feel like this dish and its many variants made the most appearances on our channel before, David. Yo, what I love, these are all handmade, hand-pulled, hand-squeezed, hand-put-together noodles. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my goodness. Let's go in for this first. Mmm. That is a good Dapanji. Very herbal and a little bit more soupy. Personally, I like the sauce to be a lot thicker, but this one's pretty good. This is a very high-quality version. Next up here at Dunhuang, Andrew, we've got the Shou Dua Yang Rou. Andrew, this is actually a dish from the inner Mongolian influence of Neirongmungu. Yeah, and what I love is that it's all in the name, guys.  And this is not the only time we've had this dish or covered it. You know, sometimes a lot of Northwestern Chinese food, you know, Qinghai, Neirongmungu, it has similar things, but Andrew, it's always a little different depending on which place you get it. Especially this restaurant, it's super high-quality and nice. They're going to give you this fresh garlic to eat with it. Along with the seasonings. Guys, let's go in. Mmm. The quality is all-star level. This plate was 20 bucks. Totally worth it. Totally worth it for the hand-held lamb. Wow. David, this is the best hand-held thing to drop since the iPhone. So, Andrew, Gansu province is actually very poor unlike most, you know, metrics, but it kind of goes to show you that poor places can still produce some amazing food. Here we have the world-famous Lanzhou Lamyen, and there's going to be a lot of spots that serve this dish, but the most distinct features are this noodle here. It was one entire noodle before we cut it with the scissors. Now, the oldest evidence of noodles in the entire world is 4,000-year-olds old, and it was actually found in a place that borders Qinghai and Gansu province. So, you know that this area has had noodles for thousands of years. That is crazy. There's not going to be any pork because it's from the Hui people, and the slices of beef are very, very thin and actually pretty lean. You guys, Lanzhou Lamyen around China, Andrew, I would say it's like as popular or maybe more popular than Japanese ramen. Well, guys, think about it. If Lanzhou in this area has some of the oldest evidence of noodles, and it's called Lamyen, and that turned into the word ramen, then this might, this is pretty much the closest thing you get to a Japanese ramen in China that's actually very, very Chinese. So, this is like an ancient, I would just, this might just be, you could just probably call this the original ancient Chinese ramen. Andrew, we have a beef and potato dish very, very simple. You know, they just do it a very certain way out in Dunhuang. You know what's funny? Because, David, no matter what part of the world you go to, beef stews, I don't know, like a lot of them kind of feel similar. This is really good though. Here we have some pretty cool appetizers. This is something that you do not see at a lot of Chinese restaurants. This is the Huoba Kaoping. You know, having to do something with fire. Kaoping, of course, grilled bread. Look how crispy it is. Dipped in chili oil. Guys, this is just roasted bread dipped in chili oil. Come on. Mmm. I'm a fan of mantos before they're grilled. Wow. I'm an even bigger fan post-grilled. This is like the spicy Chinese bread stick right here. I mean, you could dip this in anything too. Mmm. Andrew, like we said, Gansu Province has so many different influences. If you look at it, it kind of looks like a sock touching like seven other provinces. What? This is actually an influence from the Sichuan side, but this is Lanzhou style koshoi jeep from Sichuan. Yeah. So this is mouth-watering chicken. Obviously a very famous dish in Sichuan, but as you can see it, there's a little bit more greens and a little bit more color in this one. Mmm. Guys, here we have the roja more with lamb in it, and what I like to see about this is how many peppers and onions are in there. It kind of almost looks like a Mexican dish, but like I said, you know, there's actually similarities with Mexican food. As far as the spices, it doesn't taste the same, but it looks the same. Andrew, start your campaign right now, because I know you are a fervent advocate for putting more things in roja more. Yo, make roja more amazing again. Gansu roja more. It kind of does taste like one of those extra spicy beef empanadas. I did not have food from Lanzhou, Nguyenhuang, Gansu Province till much later in my life. And let me tell you this, I am glad I discovered it. What I think is so amazing about China as a whole is that you can get food like Shanghainese food, you can get really nice, soft, delicate food, and you can also just get some really spicy, kind of dry, cumin-y food as well, and it's all under the umbrella of Chinese food. And I think that is pretty incredible. Andrew, you are looking at a jidaniu na huangtao. Whoa! So basically, guys, this is a sweet egg dessert with egg whites and flour petals on top. A little bit of some chrysanthemum on top. Whoa! This is an egg dessert. This is a hot egg dessert.  Steamed egg dessert, guys. Oh, my goodness. After having Tibetan and Mongolian milk tea, I don't know, I can't say, but it feels like that this might have some of that influence. But, guys, adding the egg is crazy. It's really just savory, a little sweet, creamy, but not very heavy. This was a nice way to end off the meal. This might be one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in New York City. Andrew, next up on our exploration of the Chinese cuisine, we are dealing with the zones that were pretty much the end of the Silk Road. So we're talking about Shanxi, Gansu, Henan. Now, a lot of these foods are Muslim-influenced, but they are, at the end of the day, still very Chinese. This region is most famous for its big, long, wide noodles that you're going to be pulling. It's very spicy, lots of cumin in them. And most notably, it is going to be called Xi'an food. This region also has a lot of influence from Northwestern China, Qinghai, also, Andrew, Inner Mongolia. So we're going to be including this whole section in this video. Andrew, opening up the Xi'an wave noodle food video. What do we got? You have the water, basin, mutton noodle soup. This is something that, you know, it's going to be hard to find. Now, the cool thing is about bites of Xi'an, they have some very, like, Americanized dishes that are going to appeal to the masses, but they also have this dish, which is very traditional. They didn't use the wheat noodles. They used the vermicelli. That was a cool switch-up. This is one of the best lamb noodles I ever had in my life. David, that's pretty crazy that you're saying that considering bites of Xi'an also has some Americanized dishes. What can you say to the people that are going to say, man, that's crazy? They did a good job of balancing what they wanted to serve with what the market demanded. Here I have the Qishan Salzi Mian, and that actually is referring to the cube cut carrots that are in this. And this is a pretty deep cut dish. You're not going to find this at every Xi'an restaurant. This dish actually dates back to the Shang Dynasty, so... Mmm, sour, spicy, a little bit pungent. Wow, that's flavorful. I think that is one of the more traditional, older-tasting dishes that can still be relevant today. Shout-out to Bites of Xi'an for serving this dish because they are really mostly known for, you know, lunch foods, but, man, they got some deep-cut historical dishes here. All right, you guys, this is the pork rojama. Like we said, some people do not eat pork in that region, but at the end of the day, it's still China. They love eating pork. Oh, my goodness, just give it a try. That is honestly one of the best rojama was I've ever had. Andrew, I suggest you try it. Oh, my. Wow. I think every rojama should be built like this. Every rojama should be designed like this with the flaky bow. Oh, my gosh. It's almost like eating it between two scallion pancakes minus the scallion. Next noodle dish we have is the Diao Diao Mian. And Diao Diao is referring to just the three elements that are mixed together. So it's almost like three separate dishes, just all in one bowl, but they complement each other. Here's you got the shredded pork. This looks like the same pork that's going to be in the rojama. Here you kind of have a zhajiang mian-style sauce right here, which I'm actually pretty sure is the sauce that they're going for.  First time having Diao Diao Mian between the black bean fried sauce noodle, which is the zhajiang mian, mixed in with a little bit of the acidity from the tomato man. I love this mix. This is a good noodle. All right, let me try this, man. All right, you guys, this is the snack zone chicken dishes in Xi'an. Now, these are not 100% authentic, but Andrew, they do have a drenbing and they do actually have fried chicken in Xi'an. So these would be like street side. You could get them. It wouldn't fully look like this, but you know, they're working with the ingredients they got. The thinking is still there. Right. I mean, in America, it's going to be very common for them to just grab the tortilla and use it. Obviously, this is clearly a Mexican-style tortilla, but it could still work and be very similar to the traditional one. And obviously, this looks a little bit more like fried chicken pieces. However, I do think there is a fried chicken head somewhere. Is that the head? No. Okay. Mmm. Got a little Xi'an spices in the house. This is a Xi'an drenbing. Like we said, not 100% traditional, but you get the idea. Mmm. Wow. Some peppers, cumin, heavy onion, which is very representative of this general region. This is a great way for people who are not exposed to the Xi'an flavor to get into it, because this form factor is super familiar. Obviously, it's pretty much a Xi'an burrito. It's portable. It's quick. It's filling. Got flavor. I mean, they just got the right sauce on the right amount of noodles. And remember, too, either Qingzhan food or Qingzhan influenced food is usually pretty clean, too. A very popular drink in Xi'an is the pomegranate juice. Obviously, it's very hard to find in America. But the other option here is the plum drink. This is a popular Chinese drink. And I also like the bottle. So this is nice to watch down all the spices with. You know, this is a great way to end your lunch. Overall, my favorite Xi'an combo here for myself was the churro rojiamo with the water basin mutton soup. This was, like, one of the best things I've ever eaten, man. My favorite has got to be the chi-shan-yuro man. And this just has that sourness, pungent-ness that is just very, very unique to this region and unique to this dish. So, man, I think they did a great job. All right, everybody, that wraps it up here at Bites of Xi'an. Now, some people might walk in here and not say it's the most authentic Xi'an restaurant from top to bottom. But I will tell you this. They have some deep cut dishes. And the traditional stuff they do have is amazing. On to the next part. Guys, do you want to know a place that has been the home of seven different Chinese dynasties that has delicious food that nobody knows about? Well, welcome to He Nan food. So, this is one of the most famous styles of He Nan food. This is a hui man. And there's so many different styles in He Nan because it's so historical. But one of the main features is this milky lamb broth with some mutton right here. And mutton lamb, you know, mutton is the older version of lamb. Of course, it's still the same animal, of course. Different age. Clear noodles. Lots of kind of like little mountainous shrubs. Got some mushrooms here. But man, you know, this is delicious. And also we have the He Nan style rojiao more. Of course, you've seen the rojiao more so many times on our channel. But listen, a lot of people don't know about He Nan food. It's actually really, really delicious. That's only because He Nan is not like the most famous province right now. So here at New Spicy Village, the main chef is Fujianese but did live in Zhengzhou, which is the capital of He Nan for a little while. So that's why they know how to cook the food. But maybe it's not like 100% authentic. Here you have the hui mian. There's so many different styles in He Nan. This always has a milky lamb broth. And of course you have the He Nan style rojiao more, which I'm about to dip into the soup. Let me try this by itself real quick though. He Nan food is really interesting because part of it is really kind of based off the soap road because it was kind of at the end of the soap road. So it has a lot of that influence. But it's also really close to Shandong, which is like very, very Han Chinese style. So it's actually a really cool mixture and it's too bad a lot of people don't know about the food. So this is the rojiao more. This is the beef version. I have a pork version obviously. You know a lot of rojiao more from the Muslim areas are not going to have pork. Oh, that's so good in the soup. Real juicy. I'm not going to lie guys. This bao or mantou is actually kind of flat. Almost looks like, I don't want to say an arepa but it looks like a flat Mexican sandwiches. The next dish that you might have not seen before this is jiaozi in a sour soup. Now listen, we've seen one ton before but have you seen large dumplings in a slightly sour soup? Let me get a little goji berry in there. A little scoot in there. Oh, it tastes healthy. Homemade. Look at that. Lots of pork and chive in this one. Hanan food doesn't really strike you in either one way or one direction too strong but it has a little bit of everything which is really cool and it kind of reminds me of maybe a state in the Midwest like Illinois, something that has some East Coast culture some West Coast culture but might lean a little bit more East Coast I don't know but Hanan because it's so close to very different provinces and has such a long history I mean, you know, they're going to have all different flavors so I'm telling you the food is underrated. What kind of Chinese man would I be if I'm not dipping my rojiao more into the soup to eat? Yeah, I think it went better with the lamb bone soup but still really good. This is the combo right here. If you come to New Spice Village, you got to do this. Yo, David, we got to go to Kaifeng. We got to go to Chengzhou. We got to go to Hanan. One of the things I noticed is that Hanan food being sort of this mixture of North, South, East, West has a very moderate flavor that almost reminds you of Americanized Chinese food. And this is a pepper chicken dish and the use of onions in a wok with soy sauce, garlic is really, really common in Hanan and guess where else that's common, guys? In American Chinese food, almost like Panda Express. No, I do not think there is a single dish that I've ever had that was more authentic than this that tasted almost inauthentic. It tasted like American Chinese food because of the flavor profile, because it's a little sweet, because of the heavy onion usage. What we have as a dry-quai man, normally the more ones that are like popular in China have that milky bone broth that takes five hours to develop. You got to cook it out of the bones. This is actually a spicy lamb dry hui mian. Honestly, it's spicy, but it's not too spicy, which makes Hanan a perfect segue for people into the more like deep cut provinces of Chinese called food. They might have only had American Chinese food and then Hanan food. A lot of hipsters come to Spicy Village in New York City. All right, you guys, we are looking at Dapang Ji. Like we said, this was invented by the hui people. There are a lot of hui people in Henan, maybe not the most, but, you know, they have enough to have their own Suo Fa, basically their own methodology behind Dapang Ji. As you can see, the potatoes breaking apart, like just... They actually grilled this chicken prior. I think that some people don't do that. Andrew, I know, is a huge fan of the grilled chicken prior to being put with the other ingredients. Dapang Ji Henan style. This is actually one of my favorite styles. I think my two favorite styles. Number one is Shanxi with Xi'an style, Dapang Ji. Number two is Henan style. Especially on the East Coast, I think this is one of the trendiest noodle dishes, probably the trendiest noodle dish in America from the Chinese world, because it has so many unique flavors and it's such an interesting mix of some Middle Eastern influence and Chinese influence. I know that this Huijunni's own Henan spot is not fully representative of what you can get in Kaifeng or in Zhengzhou, but I actually thought they did a pretty decent reproduction. These are my two favorite dishes right here. As for me, my favorite dishes has got to be this combination, the rojomoi dipped into the hui man broth that took five hours to cook. That's why it's milky and it's lamby. This is my recommendation. What's up, you guys?  I got a brown sugar joint. This is actually where this style is from. They eat it a lot in Beijing, but this is the real authentic thing. Feimao is a brand from Hubei. Sort of the, you know, our Huai influence regions, which is, there's a lot of them. I mean Henan, Hubei, Shagxi, Xi'an. This one's brown sugar. They do really like this food in Beijing. We didn't put it in the Beijing food episode. We could have, but it is from Hubei. This ain't 2022 like delicious, but it's just got that feeling. I'm just back 2,000 years ago. This is one of my favorite snacks to have in China, and I haven't had anything from a chain from Hubei before. But look how big this thing is, man. You know they cook it in what looks to be like a tandoori-style oven. Break it. This is the salted pork one. Huge. They cut it in half for you. Look at this thing. I don't know all the full history, but this might be one of the best products that come from the Silk Road. So this is a very, very thin flatbread now. Different regions are going to do it differently. This one has one that they tout is the best one. I actually had one in Chengdu a long time ago. That was really good. So for me, it's hard to say, but this is the popular style. It's super, super thin. Just a little bit of meat. You can almost fold it up like three times. Just roll it up like that. Guys, this snack is blowing up all over Beijing in all parts of China. So we could have put it in the Beijing street food episode. However, you got to give credit where it's due. This is from Hubei. Wow, let's go.


Hello and welcome to the session I am Deepika here. Let's discuss a question which says if Nina gives an interest of rupees 45 for one year at 9% rate per annum, what is the sum she has borrowed? Now we know that for the sum borrowed, the interest for one year is given by interest is equal to principal into rate upon 100. So this is the key idea behind our question. We will take the help of this key idea to solve the above questions. So let's start the solution. Now we are given an interest of rupees 45 that is interest is equal to rupees 45 for one year at 9% rate per annum that is rate is equal to 9% per annum. The idea we have is equal to principal into rate upon 100. We want to find the principal or the sum borrowed. So principal is equal to interest into 100 equal to rupees 45 into 100 upon rate is 9% per annum. So on cancellation we have therefore principal is equal to rupees 500. Since the sum Nina has borrowed is rupees 500 and this is our answer. I hope the solution is clear to you. Bye and take care.

Okay, traders, that's 1pm UK time. Welcome to today's live market and trade analysis session with me, Patrick Mullally. If you can hear me and you can see the TickMill welcome screen, if you could just type a Y in the chat box so I know that we're ready to roll here. Good stuff. Okay, as always before we get going, important to adhere to the risk disclaimer. Specifically for today's discussion, it's important to understand that the opinions expressed by me are solely mine and they're not indicative or representative of those held by TickMill UK or TickMill Europe Limited. Brief introduction to myself. Like I said, my name is Patrick Mullally. After I graduated from university, I joined a city PLC consulting firm. After a couple of years learning the ropes, I left with some colleagues and went on to co-found and successfully exit a consulting startup post-emerger in late 2004. I then moved on to explore my passion for markets with some capital to play with and some time on my hands. I started day trading or more appropriately day gambling, the S&P 500. And after some early beginners luck, I wrapped up some pretty solid gains. However, as is often the case, my beginners luck ran out and as the market phase changed, I began to average down, giving back all my gains and ultimately experiencing a significant six-figure financial hit. To say this was a gut wrenching and sobering experiences and understatements. I really have to stand back and figure out if it was feasible for me to make a living from the markets. So I decided to get serious about trading and sought out a mentor with an excellent trading track record. Working with my mentor for a period of 18 months to two years, it was a time during which I helped not just my technical gain, researching and developing a strategy that's importantly suited my personality. I extensively back and forward tested this strategy and developed a rigorous risk management approach to underpin it all. But most importantly, during this period of mentorship, I significantly developed my mental gain. And probably the most important watershed shift I made was moving from being a highly goal-orientated individual focused on financial gains to becoming purely process-orientated. So what does that actually mean? Well, it means how to stop focusing on what I could make from the markets and start focusing solely on managing my mindset to allow me to consistently execute my trading strategy, oftentimes in the face of negative feedback from the markets in the form of losing trades. But once you become process-orientated and you have that professional trading mindset and you understand that the true nature of trading is simply that of a numbers game in which you're playing the probabilities, you lose the emotional investment and that hellish emotional rollercoaster of living and dying by the outcomes of individual trades. I no longer concern of the outcome of individual trades or even a small string of trades. My focus is on the next 100 trades because I know if I focus on excellence in execution, my edge will demonstrate itself over an extended series of outcomes. My multi-strategy approach has delivered profitable annual returns since 2008. Since 2013, I've also been managing investor capital through a managed account service delivering annual positive returns. I'm currently responsible for managing a multimillion dollar portfolio. Since 2010, I've personally mentored over 100 private traders of all experience levels from complete novices to former CME floor traders in developing the technical and mental skills to reap consistent returns from the markets. I've consulted to numerous brokers and trading education brands contributing written content, webinars and live presentations on a range of topics from market analysis to trading, student development and execution. In addition to my fund management and private mentoring, I'm also resident market expert for TickMill where I provide a daily market outlook. Every morning, you can access that through their blog and you can get it delivered to your inbox if you register your email address on there. I also provide through their social media platforms and YouTube intraday analysis of opportunities I'm watching in the market and you can find those through their social media channels. My other passion project is as head of trading and trader education for a leading trading education brand called FXcareerswap.com. We offer development and funding to retail trading talent. At FXcareerswap, we don't just develop retail traders market and trading strategy knowledge. We work on mindset development through a structured programme that culminates in managing the firm's capital at zero personal financial risk on a profit share basis. For those that are interested, you can see on the screen there there's the number of the trade desk in London. You can give the guys a call or drop them an email and they will come back to you in a timely fashion with information with respect to what it is we are doing at FXcareerswap.  Let's jump into the charts here. I can start with the S&P 500. Before I jump into the S&P 500 here, I just want to highlight to you all that we are actually launching a new programme through TickMill specifically focused on intraday trading, the E-mini S&P 500. We're going to be hosting a webinar next week, Wednesday at 1pm, where I'll be walking through the strategy that I've used over the past 15 years to successfully navigate the E-mini S&P, specifically with using some interesting unique features to the futures market with respect to market internals. I'll be walking you through what we're going to be doing there. We're going to be setting up a strategy group, a close strategy group whereby on a daily basis I'll be delivering a trade plan for this session ahead, the cash session. That opens at 2.30 UK time and I'll be giving specific areas or action areas where there will be trading opportunities and I'll be giving my view on where we are in the market, what the market is looking to achieve and how best we can align ourselves to consistently profit from trading these intraday timeframes. That's going to kick off next Wednesday at 1pm, so I believe there'll be an email or some promotion with respect to that so you'll be able to register if you're interested in joining us for those sessions. Okay, so back to the daily charts. S&P 500, I'm looking for the S&P 500 now to grind higher here and ultimately get a test of this 4123 which is the equality objective versus this ABCD structure and we have weekly range resistance at 4154. We have this ascending trend line coming in just below there, 4142. So there's a 30 point zone there that I'm going to be paying attention to, watching for daily reversal patterns to establish short positions here and I think we can certainly get a move back down to retest let's say the 4000 level from above initially and ultimately I think we can probably grind it out and get a move to get a test of the monthly pivot from above at 39 over 5. From there then what I'd be looking for would be bullish reversal patterns to reengage long positions ultimately looking for another leg higher here up into monthly range resistance at 4244 and then we have the yearly R1 coming in at 4287. So this is going to be a key area I believe here this zone this 4123 to 4153 watch for bearish reversal patterns there to do something on the short side. We've got some nice momentum divergence developing as well. Let's move on to take a look at the equal-wasted dollar index so this is the dollar index versus the Aussie, Yen, Sterling and Euro on an equal and equal-wasted basis. We got bullish reversal yesterday from the monthly pivot and I was looking for some follow-through this morning, doesn't look at this stage like we're getting it but if we can get a break of yesterday's highs I think it sets up a test of that 120 equal to objective yearly pivot just above at 1296 sorry a monthly range resistance 1277. Certainly I'd be paying attention to how we trade there I think bearish reversal patterns in that zone offer an opportunity on the short side and let's take a look at the broader equal a broader dollar index and again we got that bullish reversal coming from the weekly range support at 92.14 but we're not getting any follow-through at the moment if we can get follow-through I think that's an opportunity to set a base then for this test of the yearly pivots at 94.16 and we've got an equality objective at 94.08 from there again watching for bearish reversal patterns to do something on the short side but if we lose weekly range support then I think we're headed back down to take another look at this 91.28 support zone and then we could be setting up ahead in shoulders to see us actually trading back down into this 90.27 support so today the close today and tomorrow are going to be pivotal to see which which way we're going to which way this is going to play out with respect to the dollar index but whilst we're holding weekly range support we could we could see a break to the upside but like I say we lose it and I think we're back down into 91.28 in pretty pretty short order the US 10-year yield has come off testing support now this is going to be again this pivotal to to where we see this dollar trade if we can get back through yesterday's highs at the 1.67 percent range I think that sets up them to the next leg to the upside with the yields really can't can't get concerned really about the the yield story here unless we take out this interim trend channel support at 1.585 percent let's take a look at gold gold moved nicely through that from that double Boston stalling out a bit here now we might have might have some range resistance coming in here any pullbacks that ultimately hold support at the 1712 1715 area I think set up a nice opportunity on the long side to to get a move up into the yearly pivot from below around 1800 dollar level silver coming into symmetry swing resistance when I talk about symmetry swing resistance I'm talking about the last swing here that we had before we rolled over so silver look for it looking for silver to stall out here at 2560 and then take that next leg lower into the range support at the $22 level and that is going to be the area where I'll be paying close attention to how we trade because I think there could be an opportunity to to play that support zone to also move back up to test range resistance 30 dollar area crude oil going nowhere fast at the moment holding the 62 29 we are looking for I'm looking for a 51 test here the equality objective and then I'd certainly be interested in crude on the long side looking for a move up into the top side of the channel 74 50 now in in crude so we'll we'll have to see if if we get this lurch lower to test the support zone that that's the key area for me in terms of crude oil Dr copper not not going anywhere either at this stage whilst we hold 418 as resistance we're looking for 367 and that will be the area to re-engage on the long side for copper bullish consolidation really at this point is is what we're doing as as we digest this big move that we've seen to the upside in terms of copper and if this stimulus plan I think I mentioned this last week if this stimulus plan gets gets backing in the US then they're going to be needing needing a whole bunch of copper to implement their infrastructure programs so bullish copper really is the is the name of the game bitcoin coming into some support here monthly pivot from about 55,000 internal ascending trendline third touch 54 54 yeah 54,000 so watching the bullish reversal patterns here and I might well look to add to my cash position if we get a setup so I think we can then be looking for a 66 let's say 67,000 test on the upside but still cognizant of this momentum divergence which I think you know we should be addressed at some point and when it does the area I think we'll trade back to is this this ascending trendline for a third touch we'll just have to see when when that plays out but that would certainly be an area where I'd be looking to to add to long positions in bitcoin the dollar yuan has held is looking to hold this trendline here and if we can hold this trendline in a bullish reversal pattern today through the pivot there at 656 then the next stop is going to be 664 on the upside if we lose weekly range support at 652 then we look for a retest of 647 on the downside dollar yen has pulled back into the the initial support zone that I've been watching here so we'll have to see if we can hold here I get a bullish reversal into into next sorry into tomorrow's the Friday close and I think that could actually set up the the next area the next opportunity on the long side in terms of the dollar around here and ultimately I'm looking for that 113 before we we see a more meaningful correction swissie had short positions running in this took profits earlier in the week here now looking to see if we can hold this weekly s3 here then I think we can see another leg to the upside here to ultimately target this way five objective at 95 and we'd have this trend line coming in just above the 95 25 yearly R1 coming in at 95 70 so this will be a pivotal zone here and I think this is if we hold this support area then this is I think where we're going to stall out and see a more meaningful correction in the swissie but if we lose this s3 then we're in quick quick order I think we're back down to 92 11 and then we'd have to start thinking about having shoulders scenario developing and a much deeper corrected move playing out in the swissie so pivot's on to see how we how we trade at this s3 can we hold it can we get back above the monthly pivot and the VWAP cluster here to set that leg for that at 95 Looney not going anywhere fast this stage looks to be in another corrective phase I'd certainly paying attention to any move into this 127 20 area watch for bearish reversal patterns there and I think that sets up a mood to get down into this 120 really it really the only way to for me anyway in terms of thinking about getting constructive on the looney what we'd have to see would be some type of inverse head and shoulder scenario so get up into this monthly range resistance and then hold hold this 126 area support to suggest a bigger advance but whilst we whilst we can't until we until that type of pattern starts to play out I remain bearish looney euro so we see we've seen a nice correction higher from from the yearly pivot so it was good I was long that the euro earlier this week had a couple of positions took profits on those but a bearish reversal pattern yesterday pinbar there from the weekly r3 and it closed but it it closed bearish in terms of the normal candlesticks but I use this I use the five-period vwap to give me the indication of the near-term trend and that still remains bullish at the moment so I what if we've got to close back below that vwap so around this 1840 level today with the RSI stochastic up into the overbought zone that could set up this this next leg lower here to actually target this this 116 a support if we don't get that rejection then I think would probably into this type of if we're probably going to see a correction continue to move higher and ultimately get back up into this 119 80 area you can see what I've been looking for with this type of scenario to play out to ultimately trade into that 120 before then maybe we had lower again in what we could see then would be a much bigger head and shoulder scenario but uh watching yeah paying attention to the close here on the euro if we're going to close back through that 118 13 that would that be a bearish development I think and we could be looking for an early test of the 116 which obviously coincides with the dollar index heading back up to that 94 target I talked about in the beginning what I'm paying close attention to on the close tonight is this euro yen potential double top here bags of divergence so if we get a week close here in the euro yen I'm going to be looking at short positions tomorrow for the euro yen and I think we get it we can certainly look back down to 128 30 is the first port of call for for a euro yen decline here if we're and then if we take out the trend line support and it's 127 40s again so we'll see how that plays out but we're looking for a week close double top with all the divergence that's that's that's qualifies as a signal for my strategies euro sterling this uh this trade is higher I was long this this morning and I scratched the trade we have basically come into symmetry swing resistance here to the tick you can see and and I was looking for some buying pressure to kick in this morning and take us through that didn't happen so I'm out of that position now and I'll watch for maybe a deeper corrected move to develop before before taking another look potentially on the long side in terms of the euro sterling euro CAD came just shy of the target zone that I was tracking there and we're seeing some tails here some definite supply coming into the market so it could be now that we have a wave four high in place here and if that's the case the the downside here for the euro CAD should equal wave one whoops it is it so if we have our wave four in place then the downside objective now becomes 145 for the euro CAD so it's got a bit of work to do to get back through the VWAPs here but the close below 149 13 would be bearish for the euro CAD and I'd certainly be thinking about looking at short positions there to target that 145 area sterling Aussie set up well we came again just shy of the equality objective and we're seeing some weakness develop here we'd certainly want to see this trend line taken out monthly range sport weekly range sport gone before getting in before looking at short positions in in the sterling Aussie but if if we can get through those areas then there's plenty of scope on the downside sterling Aussie sterling again I was in this position this morning short and it's it ran a little bit of profit running in that and I thought it's very even and we've since seen a bit of a bounce if we look on the intraday chart here going to the hourly you can see this was the setup I was tracking I was looking for this extension lower from the pivot which we started to get but it was ultimately to be or proved to be a bear trap because we immediately held the lows there and then got that bullish inside reversing so now we're back up so what's the story so what what I've been looking for here is maybe a three-way scenario like this to develop and then I'd certainly look again on the on the short side in terms of sterling I'm looking for a test of 135 50 on the downside before really getting bullish again on on sterling so that's versus this swing here so whilst we hold this area's resistance this gives me the the downside objective in terms of an equality move so we'll have to I'm going to be keeping an eye on sterling on the short side sterling yen great setup here in sterling yen I actually didn't so I actually missed it being away from the desk but triple divergence we got great divergence set a big outside reversal consolidated and then broke lower so whilst whilst we continue to see pressure on the downside now we want to think about in terms of targets here and the initial way that I looked to measure for these targets is symmetry swings so we can initially look now for potential support to develop 149 57 and then what I'd watch for is if we can get in here get that test maybe a bit of a pull back there into a potential head and shoulders to complete then a three-way corrected move to the downside so watch that 149 57 and potential head and shoulders setup to do something on the short side sterling yen sterling kiwi nothing for me to do there the Aussie I've got an order to go short the Aussie at 76 I think if we can get if we roll over today after yesterday's bearish bearish reversal pattern the weekly trend is to the downside the monthly trend is now flipped to the downside then I think that sets up this move to get us into this 74 60 if we don't get it if we buy us on at home there then we can start to think about a target down here towards the 74 level for potentially completing the corrections so this is this setup works for me on the in terms of risk reward and we'll just see if we can get that follow through to the downside through 76 and take a look at 74 66 and potentially 74 as the downside objective Aussie yen watching this for a potential short opportunity as we now have an equality objective versus this wind structure at 81 32 so keeping an eye on that on Aussie yen for a breakdown there obviously that coincide with the the Aussie also rolling over Aussie Swiss has a nice potential corrected pattern developing here which should see support come in at this trendline 70 33 and we can see a pop off there as it's the fourth test of this trendline I think we're probably looking at maybe a symmetry swing move before getting another leg to the downside in terms of the Aussie Swiss these fourth tests tend to be the ones that ultimately see the trendline fail as a Kiwi I don't have anything to do in there let's take a look at so similar setup in terms of the Aussie I'm looking for this equality objective 6902 we had that bearish rejection candle yesterday but no follow through at the moment and I prefer the risk reward scenario in terms of the Aussie there's a bit more scope on the downside Kiwi yen I was looking at this this morning if we get a close at current levels this nice inside daily continuation pattern developing here because we have scope then to test the equality objective which which would see us move like so it's a plenty of in terms of risk reward this certainly ticks the boxes so we're paying attention to where we close on this Kiwi yen if we can close just inside it's within yesterday's range but a bearish close and I'm going to looking on the short side there targeting 74 52 cad yen sitting right at this trendline support let's see where we close on that one there's a potential that we get another leg higher if we can get a bullish reversal so I'm keeping an eye on the cad yen cad swiss just looking for the cad swiss ultimately test this trendline here we haven't quite got there keeping an eye on that if we can get a trendline test here then I think that sets up a nice opportunity on the long side in terms of the cad swiss so those are the charts that I'm watching the the main I guess the key the one that I'm really paying attention to this evening is this euro yen and I'll be looking to to do something on the short side there targeting 128 17 initially and I've obviously the only other order I've got running at the moment is in this in this house so that brings you up to speed with what I'm watching guys are there any questions if you have a pair you want me to take a look at normally what happens then then asks what's a bull bear trap I'll show you the pattern that develops you see these most regularly on the hourly time frame so you would get you get a let's say a strong move to the downside you get a distribution so you get this type of constanza trading that normally lasts through an 80 more often than not you'll see this in an Asian session so you get this type of pattern and then what you'll often see then is the London as London as London liquidity comes in so let's say around 7730 UK time you get the stop run second to re-engage this so you get a stop run that takes out the stops just below that overnight low and immediately reverses and then more often than not what you'll see is a three wave corrective move develop and then that three wave corrective move may terminate and the trend may resume or we're going to start a new or we're going to see a new move to the upside what you want to pay attention to is the trend moves so and again obviously the inverse is true on the long side but you get that trend move that day a strong daily close a candle you know it's closing strongly on the daily then you get an overnight distribution in Asia and then a little pop into just prior to the the London open and then you get that break that stop run that is quickly reversed so if we're going to see genuine trend continuation we expect the market to just melt but where we stall out just just below the stop zone here where you you know maybe 20 or 30 pit stop zone and then you get that strong rejection that's the signal that we're probably you're probably in a bull or a bear trap scenario does that make sense then I mean the pattern plays out on all timeframes I it's just I've over the years have paid the most most attention to it on the hourly timeframe but you know there's a sequence a repetitive sequence that just occurs over and over again it cut this is kind of how it looks good any other questions equally if you don't have a question if you type in n in the chat box so I know we're all on the same page and I can wrap this this one up here and again be sure to join me next Wednesday 1pm UK time when I'll be introducing the particular E-mini S&P trader okay good stuff thanks very much for your time everyone I hope you have a great weekend


Mr. President, Mr. Foreign Minister, Friends of Ireland and of this Embassy, I wish you a very warm welcome and I thank you for the honor you do us in joining us here on St. Patrick's Day. I now invite the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Peter Barry, TD, to make the traditional presentation of shamrock to the President of the United States. Thank you, Mr. Ambassador. Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, Friends of Ireland, distinguished guests. You're all very welcome in this house today. I think the feast of St. Patrick is a day which brings all the Irish and all the friends of Ireland together to exchange greetings and to extend the hand of friendship. It is especially fitting, Mr. President, that in paying us the honor of visiting here today, you do so having come from a lunch where we were guests together with another great Irishman, our friend, the Speaker of the House, Mr. Tippaneel. And of course it is no surprise to us in Ireland that two great Irishmen occupied the houses on both sides of Pennsylvania Avenue. And on a personal note, Mr. President and Mayor, I say that in fact William Penn left to come to Ireland from within a quarter of a mile from where Margaret and I live. And I think the traditions and the spirit and the generosity of mind which he brought to the state, which is called after him, and what was then known as the New World should all go well for all of us in attempting to build as we were doing in Ireland and a new world. And I hope that your presence amongst us today reinforces that point. Because naturally we expect no less from the Irish in America and not that we boast of having invented politics, Mr. President. But at least we have tried to ensure that America should never be wanting good politicians and that America in politics should never be wanting in good humour. And I think we both found out at luncheon today, Speaker O'Neill, that the store of Irish jokes far exceeds the quantities in America far exceed those in Ireland. And I don't know what you learned, I think, sir, but I was making notes all through lunch and I think I have sufficient jokes to keep me going until I come back next year. It's a particular privilege for me to welcome so many distinguished friends to our embassy. Those who carry the names of Irish forebears, whether they are Reagan or O'Neill, whether Kennedy or Foley, whether Moynihan or Dodd, whether Cary or Shannon, and many more. Those who cherish proudly their mother's heritage and whose love of Ireland is no less great. Those who have come to know the heritage of Ireland through their friends and neighbours and who join with us today as friends. All who wish to know the generosity of America as a haven for successive generations of immigrants need look no further than this room today. All who seek out the achievements of the Irish in America need hardly search beyond this room today. All who wish to know Ireland's loyal friends in the United States need go no further than this room today. The goodwill, friendship and sympathy with American people we proudly cherish in Ireland and this is special importance to us as we seek in the period ahead to check the violence in Northern Ireland and to end the divisions of the Irish people. We particularly appreciate the support already received from our friends in the United States Congress and the encouragement which you personally have given Mr. President to my Prime Minister when you spoke to him on the phone a few minutes ago. Dr. Gareth Fitzgerald on Taoiseach for his efforts to promote reconciliation between the two Irish political traditions and between our nearest neighbours, Great Britain, who should be our best friend, and Ireland. The strong condemnations of violence which you've all made and your consistent commitment to stemming the flow of US dollars to the agents of terror in Northern Ireland we heartily applaud. The Ireland we seek is one which will never be achieved by violence. Our goal is a new Ireland founded on agreement, free of intolerance and fear, where justice and compassion prevail, where the rights and identities of all traditions are respected and where all the Irish people can find unity and courage in the shared symbol of Patrick which is the symbol of peace and friendship and reconciliation. To this end my government has recently proposed in agreement with the political parties concerned to establish a forum for consultations on the means by which peace and stability can be achieved in a new Ireland and through the democratic process. The views of all those traditions in Ireland who agree with the purpose of these consultations and who reject violence will be sought by the forum. We believe that this initiative can point the way to a lasting peace and we look for the support of our friends in America as we advance these efforts to establish peace, to end division and to move towards new Ireland. Mr President in Ireland we send Shamla to our friends overseas and the wearing of Shamla expresses our hope for peace in the years ahead. It is my privilege sir to present to you today Shamla from Ireland as a mark of the enduring friendship between Ireland and the United States and a symbol of both our hopes for the future of both our countries. You're very welcome. Very welcome. I won't ask you to take this too heavy but maybe you take a little spree. Absolutely fine. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Foreign Minister Barry, Ambassador O'Sullivan, Excellencies, this day that is so special to all Americans but especially to the 30 million of us that take pride in our Irish heritage. I want to thank you for the hospitality that you've again offered me here at the Irish Embassy. Like the seeds of the shamrock Ireland has scattered its sons and daughters to the four winds and everywhere they've taken root they've made a unique contribution to their adopted country. Here in America the men and women whose patron saint we honor today have made an immeasurable contribution to the development of this nation. Even the White House has not been exempt from Ireland's spell. Many of our presidents trace their roots to Ireland and I'm proud to trace mine to Ballypourine in County Tipperary and our links to Ireland are many and varied. We're grateful for the closeness of our historic heritage just as we respect the proud independence of today's Ireland whose troops have worn the blue helmet of the United Nations in so many lands including service today with the unifil forces in Lebanon. I've previously spoken about our concerns over the violence in Ireland and do not need to either elaborate nor in any way detract from what I and my predecessors in this office have already said other than to emphasize again my support for a just and peaceful solution to the problems of Ireland and my strong condemnation of all acts of terrorism and violence. As I've said before we believe that a lasting solution to the problems of Ireland can be found only in a process of reconciliation and I again take this occasion on St. Patrick's Day to join with my fellow Americans who work and pray for an end to terrorism and violence. The Bishop of Down and Conner, Bishop Daley speaking at the funeral mass of Judge William Doyle who was gunned down by the provisional IRA on a Sunday morning as he left church in Belfast told the assembled congregation representing both Irish communities we commit ourselves once more to work for peace and reconciliation. Our belief in peace is unshaken. Our hope for peace is irrepressible. I'm told that in our mass the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland since the days of St. Patrick that there are two great cathedrals on the hills of that town each dedicated to St. Patrick. I understand that late last year the Archbishop of the Protestant Church of Ireland and the primate of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland the incumbents of those cathedrals came together in a spirit of brotherhood and reconciliation to jointly sponsor a town celebration dedicated to peace and harmony. It is that message that I wish my fellow Americans to hear on this St. Patrick's Day. I encourage Americans of all faiths to walk together in such a spirit of reconciliation rejecting violence in any form. Some few but vocal Americans believe that differences between Irishmen can only be solved by violence and intimidation. They are no friends of Ireland. They disgrace the principles for which both Ireland and America stand. I would urge my fellow Americans not to listen to such people. I know that Foreign Minister Barry joins me in calling upon people everywhere to turn away from the moral bankruptcy of the men of violence and to help or heed instead the call for peace and reconciliation that is the true message which St. Patrick himself first brought to Ireland. My friends can I ask you to join with me in a toast to the President of the United States of America. President of the United States. Mr. Foreign Minister, St. Ambassador, those of Irish heritage and those not so fortunate, would you join me in a toast to the President and the people of Ireland? If we don't get down we'll start telling stories. This way your disease is easier. There's a step here.


Is it an irrelevant question? How many children have you adopted? How many have you adopted? Is it in the Bible? No. There are some really bad arguments for abortion out there. Today, I respond. These children, because how many have you adopted though? How many have you adopted though? How many have you adopted? Is it an irrelevant question? How many children have you adopted? How many have you adopted? None. I'm going to guess none. Oh well. You're okay. The answer is not to murder all children. No, instead the answer is to put them into a foster care system to give this, or make this woman live in poverty for the rest of her life. Pro-choice folks like to use this as kind of like a gotcha question. How many have you adopted? I got you. I got you. Abortion's not wrong because you're not going to adopt them anyway, so who cares? It's almost like this argumentation flows from, and it does flow from, this idea that it would better that the children were aborted than grow up in a tough situation in foster care. Like it's kind of a sick and twisted idea. People often apply this to children with Down syndrome too. Well, it's better that they were aborted because if they're born, they're going to have a very tough life. It's like when these same people venture out to find those that are suffering and in pain to put them out of their misery, is that merciful? Ultimately, the crux of the issue is that they are taking authority into their own hands. They think they have the authority other whether somebody lives or dies, and they can make that value judgment based on, oh, well, they might experience pain in their life or they might experience suffering in their life to this degree, so it's worth it to kill them in the womb. It's like, wait, what? You don't get to make that decision. Look, I can't testify to this personally, but I have many friends online that grew up in the foster care system. If you ask them, hey, would you have preferred to go through the suffering and pain that you have went through or would you prefer just to be aborted in the womb? To them, it's an easy answer. Abortion is not done out of mercy and love. It's done out of a desire for convenience for ourselves and worship of self. Did you say the Bible is a pro-life book? Of course.    That's not very pro-life. No, it doesn't sound like it. I've heard this question many times.  During the time of Noah, God saw that the world was wicked, that they had rebelled against their creator and were giving themselves up to all sorts of perversion. They also participated in child sacrifice and God saw fit to administer the flood as a form of justice.   Okay, so to us, that might seem a little extreme. It's like, okay, well, chill, God. Like, why are you going so intense here? But we need to understand God's holiness. That's the thing, we don't understand. We think of it from our perspective and we're like, well, maybe that wasn't so bad or maybe that was a little extreme. But when we understand it from how holy and good God is, even the smallest offense is an infinite offense against God. So now you can understand the fact that they were literally sacrificing little babies and participating all sorts of sinful behavior. God was like, well, it's time. I gotta administer my judgment. But notice God also demonstrates his mercy by providing a way through the Ark that they could escape that judgment. And he also provides a way that we can escape God's coming judgment by trusting in Jesus. People like to think of God as one dimensional, like he only can have one characteristic, but we need to understand he is pro-life, he is pro-justice, and he is anti-wickedness. Well, we might be more comfortable with a God that resembles a character from a children's cartoon. We need to understand that God is serious about holiness, truth, and justice. Is God opposed to abortion? There's no ban on abortion in Islam. There's no ban on abortion at any point for any reason by any method. All right, okay. In Judaism, abortion is permitted and where the pregnant person's life is at stake, it's required because the health and well-being of the pregnant person comes first. Okay. Let's talk about this for a second because often the accusation is thrown out there. Oh, so you want women to die? What about women that need to have an abortion in order to live? Well, let's talk about one of the instances that this is often the case, or it's supposedly the case, is an ectopic pregnancy. Now, I'm not, I don't know, I'm not a doctor, so I don't wanna get into all the science here, but based on my reading, this has never been understood as an abortion. It's a tragic situation and we should give grace to those that are going through it. The problem is is that in other situations, there's a lot of speculation and there's a prediction that this pregnancy could be harmful to the mother, so they go forward with the abortion. This is my philosophy and I think this reflects biblical truth. Goodness preserves the life even when it is unlikely, but abortion gives way to the preemptive destruction of human life. So yes, there are challenging situations where a lot of discernment and counsel is necessary and I feel for those families that are going through that, but at the same time, if you're in an argument, people will always go to the most extreme things to try to justify abortion because they know they can't defend it otherwise. Jamie. Little more complicated. Bad news. Well, let's bear in mind that what I'm about to say is a teaching created by men who are ostensibly celibate, who have no inroads or connection to the lives of women because they do not have wives, they do not have daughters. Great start. Yeah. And the Catholic Church teaches that in almost every circumstance, abortion is murder. Is it in the Bible? No. Can you believe that plot out just denial? Like she's like, no, there's no verses about abortion whatsoever. The Bible doesn't mention anything about that. It's like, are you sure? Are you sure? Okay, so just to clarify, I'm not Catholic, but I think there's good things that we can take away from this discussion here about whether the Bible says something about abortion. I got some verses for you and that might enlighten this lady about what the Bible actually says. Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart. I anointed you as a prophet to the nations. So I'm 139, for you created my inmost beings. You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful and I know them full well. How beautiful is that? I love the imagery of God knitting us together in our mother's womb. God cares for the most vulnerable among us, which are the little babies in the womb. I know if you're watching this video as a pro-life person, it can be really discouraging out there. It can seem hopeless at times, but I want you to know that more and more God is opening people's eyes to see the value of human life and to see him as he truly is in developing a relationship with him and through that, a desire to defend those created in his image.

Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com, we're going to give away our first NFL kickoff mixer spot here in 2021 Obsidian Football Team All Edition, two box, random team break number one. You can already see the next ones in the store, jaspyscasebrakes.com. One spot gets you two teams and if you're one of the first 11 spots purchased, you get a chance to win a free spot. We'll randomize those 11 spots and aim on top, we'll get an extra spot. And then we'll double up the names and then at the end we'll give away an NFL kickoff mixer spot. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to use the original 16 names in their original order for that mixer giveaway. I think mathematically even if we use the double up list it will be the same, but I like using the original 16 whenever we're doubling stuff up. So that's how we're going to do that. So now, first of all, before we do the break, all teams are in, let's give away that early bird spot. So here's the first 11 right there. Thank you. Let's copy your names and name on top, we'll get an extra spot, three and a one, four time, name on top after four, one, two, three, good luck and a one, fourth and final time. David. There you go, David. Thanks for being an early bird. An extra spot going your way. Now let's do the break and then at the end, the third and final dice roll will be giving away that mixer spot. So let's double you up like Sir Mixlaw and double up, again all 32 teams are in, second dice roll, let's roll and randomize it five into three, eight times for names and teams. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight and final time, got Sean down to Han, five into three, eight times for the teams, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and once more, eighth and final time, Rams down to Bills. Now this team all addition, I don't think autographs are guaranteed here, but those red, or there could be autographs, but I don't think they're guaranteed per box like you would in the Javi edition. There are some exclusive red flood parallels that look pretty cool. All right, here's the first half of the list right here. Here's the second half of the list right over here. I guess these are two pretty solid boxes. I will open up a trade window. So let's alphabetize this by team and we're going to pause the video just for a little bit. When we come back, we're going to see if there's any trades and then we'll have the break. Stick around and we'll be right back. All right, welcome back everybody. No deals were done in this break here, but so the list remains the same. That's okay. That's all good. Quick little boxes here. Let's see what we have. I've got a die cut in here. All right. All right. Let's see what we got here. Quinn and Williams for the Jets, to Shawn Watson, Texan's edition, Rookie Daz Newsom, and that's pretty cool. Vitrious Travis Kals, apparently we've been saying it all wrong, Corny Travis. That goes to Shawn Matic and the Chiefs. Might be a short printed parallel here and a red flood Nick Bosa, eight out of 26. We'll color match there, Canard and the Niners. Another box. That's what we're looking for. Mike Evans. Sorry, Mike. Let's go to Jeff and the Buccaneers. Joe Burrow, David with Cincinnati, a Rookie, Trey Lance, that'll be for Canard and the Niners. Tyler Boyd, seven out of 50. No, Rex, you're going to determine how Luis Robert wants his name to be. 7 out of 50, Bangles, that's going to be for David, and Amir Smith, Marseille, red flood. 24 out of 25, I don't think that's us for us to decide. I think it matters a lot what he says. If I want my name to be pronounced Joe from now on, that's how you're going to have to do it. It'll be offensive otherwise. All right, let's flip back over here. I'm going to go with what they say, not what is convenient for us, Rex. We've got to be better. All right, original 16 names. Name on top of $4,000 Mixer Spy. That's going to be pretty nice. Final dice roll. Let's roll it, randomize it. Six and a one. Lucky seven for somebody. One, two, three, four, five, six, and a one, seventh and final time. David, there was no doubt about it. You had the top two spots, but just the top one counts. Congrats to you. After seven times, you've just won yourself a $4,000 Mixer spot, and now you've got a chance to win Super Bowl tickets. All the details of that, jaspyscasebreaks.com. I'm Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com. Thanks for watching. Thanks for breaking with us. There are going to be multiple things like this to try to get into that big mixer, so keep your eyes on jaspyscasebreaks.com and keep getting spots and keep getting into the action, and maybe you'll be lucky, like David. Thank you. We'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.

I hardly think so not for a while anyway They know that the minute they step out in the clear and from those bushes They're in my men down at the beach would let them have it. I guess you're right They're most likely planning the next move right now and yet we can't leave the safety of these logs here We'll just have to buy it our time hold Someone creeping this way from the bushes. Hey for the size of his hook. I'd say it's red Mulholly Hi, it is red Mulholly the lover Well, let him come I've been waiting for the likes of him. Look out Captain Dalton. He's aiming this way Hi, and I'm aiming his way Did he get you Dalton? No Now it's my turn And you didn't miss no No, I didn't miss You know how things in all the years. I've sailed the seas. I've never killed anyone or anything except in self-defense But even so whenever I was forced to do so I always had a feeling inside of me that kind of said maybe I shouldn't have done it But this time looking out there in the clear and at red Mulholly lion on a sand there They sort of feel as though I've done the world a good deed. Blow me down. You're right there Captain Dalton It's too bad dirt brisco ain't a laying alongside of him You apparently don't care very much for your captain brisco howlings about as much as I do a poisonous snake Captain Dalton Captain Dalton Johnny are you mad? What do you mean exposing yourself to the fire of those bloomin pirates? I knew something had to be done Captain Dalton Mr. Grange wouldn't let me come but I got away anyway I knew you and mr. Hollings here couldn't get back without brisco's men saying you and shooting at you So I put this bundle of twigs in front of me and little by little I crept here But why lad now the three of us will have a much harder time getting back to our men than before I don't think so Captain Dalton. I brought these along with me blow me down Explosives Johnny lad, that's just the thing we need to turn the trick. Yes, I figure it'll work this way I'll light one and throw it up toward those bushes when it explodes you carry mr. Hollings as far toward the beach as you can Then before the excitement dies down I'll add another one and throw it, but how will you get back? Don't worry. I'll make it I'll save one of those sticks of explosives that they rush me I just love to throw it right in the middle of those pirates what a lad and a heart as stout as any of us captain Are you all right there? All right. I guess it's the only thing we can do get ready Johnny to light the first fuse All right Captain Dalton. Are you ready? I led then here goes hurry Captain Dalton They'll never see you now with all that commotion. All right Johnny. Let them have the other one. That's number two Going Captain Dalton. I'm right behind you. Good boy Johnny. Good boy Oh, we're out of range of their fire now. Anyway, here comes mr. Grange, Dickon and Sue. That was nice work Johnny We saw it all from the beach here There it was captain and we saw you drop Red Bull Hoolie in his tracks before Johnny got there, too It builds red finally got what was coming to him these past few minutes were the most thrilling I've ever seen. Oh Johnny you were- Nothing Captain Dalton as owner of the Paul parrot. I've made my final decision What's that mr. Grange? Well, the men have made ready the Dory's and we're getting back to the Paul parrot as quickly as possible in setting sail for home Diamonds or no diamonds. Hi mr. Grange. That's a good idea But we won't have to sail without the diamonds after all thanks to hullings here. What do you mean? Perhaps hullings can explain well, sir briscoe left a guard to watch the swag while the excitement was going on after the Explosion in the cave when mr. Dalton here escaped. I Succeeded in overpowering the guard and made off with the diamond But they saw hullings getting away and right after that we saw him running out in the clear end with briscoe's men shooting at him By that they did and they got me in the leg But I got the blue man diamonds and here they are in his bag of fortune in gems What's that? Blow me down Just feel this earth quiver. Maybe it's smoky mouth again, but it didn't act this way before and for a good reason That this ain't smoky mouth. This is a blue man earthquake I know their actions of the Dory's then and make for the Paul parrot mr. Grange see the Johnny and Sue go with you in One of the boats here men help me with hullings here Everybody in the Dory's and pull the sea with no time to lose I Read soon Johnny you get in this boat load her men and roll for the phone parrot held on the belts for your lives There's a swell coming home and row I can hardly hold on this boat is rocking so It almost capsized out that time look goes a while in this quiver like she had the same bite of that so help me Johnny the island Lash me to a young you're right Johnny that We got off the island just in time. Yes, the fates are with us a few minutes more and it would have been too late Look, look it's taken faster now. Yes, there's not much left above water. Hold on hold on I was afraid of this what man what now that island seeking below the ocean is causing a tidal wave Six bells and all as well But we were awful close to disaster back there a bit mr. Grain Yeah, you're right Captain Dalton, but let's forget about what's passed. We're all safe now. Thanks to our lucky stars We've got at least a part of what we came for in these diamonds. Well, mr. Grange What are your next plan head for home Captain Dalton? Then there'll be plenty of time to make plans. Aye aye sir home It'll be Look of us Johnny and Sue with old dick and over there the perils of this trip haven't affected them very much So you see so one Johnny as I was telling you quite some time ago The islands in these here parts with volcanoes on them have been known to rise up from nowhere and disappear as quick as they came up That's just what happened to Galto Island Years ago before any of us was born Galto sprung up during one of these volcanic eruptions and low and behold We saw it when it disappeared old smoky mouth erupted once too much for its own good Well, I'm certainly glad we got off it in time before it went under. Yes, but Dirk briscoe and red Mulhooly and their men were not as lucky as we were I led but that was no luck when Galto Island with smoky mouth went onto the sea That was the punishment for briscoe and red Mulhooly and their kind for all the foul deeds. They've done I'll say they were punished Johnny We have the treasure we came for and now we're heading for home Oh When we both get a little older well, I was thinking that oh, maybe you Hands-on deck and full sail ahead. Well, it looks like smooth sailing for Johnny and Sue and all of our friends aboard the Paul parrot After many mishaps and near catastrophes the cruise to Galto Island Which started out to be a whaling trip but turned into a search for buried treasure has ended with a great degree of success a voyage which has seen the end of such desperate men as our testy red Mulhooly and Dirk briscoe and With a part of the diamond treasure as much as could be saved from the vanishing island of Galto in Possession of its rightful owners Ezra Grange and Johnny Robbins the good ship Paul parrot Bowers nose westward for the port of New Bedford and we leave our friends Johnny Robbins Sue Grange Captain Dalton and all the rest for the time being to them for the present then we say bon voyage and To you boys and girls who have followed the thrilling experience on the cruise of the Paul parrot We say happy sailing from now on until later then this is your Paul parrot announcer Dave Ward saying goodbye


We continue today with chapter 31. The Savior's vision. Learning is change. Salvation does not seek to use a means as yet too alien to your thinking to be helpful, nor to make the kinds of change you could not recognize. Concepts are needed while perception lasts, and changing concepts is salvation's task. For it must deal in contrast, not in truth, which has no opposite and cannot change. In this world's concepts, the guilty, bad, the good are innocent. And no one here but holds a concept of himself in which he counts the quote good to pardon him the quote bad. Nor does he trust the good in anyone, believing that the bad must lurk behind. This concept emphasizes treachery and trust becomes impossible, nor could it change while you perceive the bad in you. You could not recognize your evil thoughts as long as you see value in attack. You will perceive them sometimes, but will not see them as meaningless. And so they come in fearful form with content still concealed to shake your sorry concept of yourself and blacken it with still another crime. You cannot give yourself innocence, for you are too confused about yourself.  Your evil thoughts have been forgiven with his, because you let them all affect you not. No longer do you choose that you should be the sign of evil and of guilt in him. And as you give your trust to what is good in him, you give it to the good in you. In terms of concepts, it is thus you see him more than just a body, for the good is never what the body seems to be. The actions of the body are perceived as coming from the baser part of you, and thus of him as well. By focusing upon the good in him, the body grows decreasingly persistent in your sight, and will at length be seen as little more than just a shadow circling round the good. And this will be your concept of yourself when you have reached the world beyond the sight your eyes alone can offer you to see. For you will not interpret what you see without the aid that God has given you. And in his sight, there is another world. You live in that world just as much as this, for both are concepts of yourself which can be interchanged but never jointly held. The contrast is far greater than you think, for you will love this concept of yourself because it was not made for you alone. Born as a gift for someone not perceived to be yourself, it has been given you. For your forgiveness offered unto him has been accepted now for both of you. Have faith in him who walks with you so that your fearful concept of yourself may change. And look upon the good in him that you may not be frightened by your evil thoughts because they do not cloud your view of him. And all this shift requires is that you be willing that this happy change occur. No more than this is asked. On its behalf, remember what the concept of yourself that now you hold has brought you in its wake, and welcome the glad contrast offered you. Hold out your hand that you may have the gift of kind forgiveness which you offer one whose need for it is just the same as yours. And let the cruel concept of yourself be changed to one that brings the peace of God. The concept of yourself that now you hold would guarantee your function here remained forever unaccomplished and undone. And thus it dooms you to a bitter sense of deep depression and futility. Yet it need not be fixed unless you choose to hold it past the hope of change and keep it static and concealed within your mind. Give it instead to him who understands the changes that it needs to let it serve the function given you to bring you peace. That you may offer peace to have it yours. Alternatives are in your mind to use and you can see yourself another way. Would you not rather look upon yourself as needed for salvation of the world instead of as salvation's enemy? The concept of the self stands like a shield, a silent barricade before the truth and hides it from your sight.  The light is kept from everything you see.  At least you merely look on darkness and perceive the terrified imaginings that come from guilty thoughts and concepts born of fear. And what you see is hell, for fear is hell. All that is given you is for release.  Behold your role within the universe. To every part of true creation has the Lord of love and life entrusted all salvation from the misery of hell. And to each one has he allowed the grace to be a savior to the holy ones especially entrusted to his care. And this he learns when he first looks upon one brother as he looks upon himself and sees the mirror of himself in him. Thus is the concept of himself laid by, for nothing stands between his sight and what he looks upon to judge what he beholds. And in this single vision does he see the face of Christ and understands he looks on everyone as he beholds this one. For there is light to where darkness was before and now the veil is lifted from his sight. The veil across the face of Christ, the fear of God and of salvation and the love of guilt and death they are all different names for just one error. That there is a space between you and your brother kept apart by an illusion of yourself that holds him off from you and you away from him. The sword of judgment is the weapon that you give to the illusion of yourself that it might fight to keep the space that holds your brother off unoccupied by love. Yet while you hold this sword you must perceive the body as yourself for you are bound to separation from the sight of him who holds the mirror to another view of what he is and thus what you must be.  What could this give rise to but an image of yourself that can be miserable and remain in hell and torment? Who has learned to see his brother not as this has saved himself and thus is he a savior to the rest? To everyone has God entrusted all because a partial savior would be one who is but partly saved. The only ones whom God has given you to save are but everyone you meet or look upon not knowing who they are. All those you saw in instant and forgot and those you knew long while since and those you will yet meet, the unremembered and the not yet born for God has given you his son to save from every concept that he ever held.  For holiness is seen through holy eyes that look upon the innocence within and thus expect to see it everywhere and so they call it forth in everyone they look upon that he may be what they expect of him. This is the savior's vision that he see his innocence in all he looks upon and see his own salvation everywhere. He holds no concept of himself between his calm and open eyes and what he sees. He brings the light to what he looks upon that he may see it as it really is. Whatever form temptation seems to take it always but reflects a wish to be a self that you are not and from that wish a concept rises teaching that you are the thing you wish to be. It will remain your concept of yourself until the wish that fathered it no longer is held dear. But while you cherish it you will behold your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has the wish begot of you. For seeing can but represent a wish because it has no power to create. Yet it can look with love or look with hate depending only on the simple choice of whether you would join with what you see or keep yourself apart and separate. The savior's vision is as innocent of what your brother is as it is free of any judgment made upon yourself. It sees no past in anyone at all and thus it serves a wholly open mind unclouded by old concepts and prepared to look on only what the present holds. It cannot judge because it does not know and recognizing this it merely asks what is the meaning of what I behold? Then is the answer given and the door held open for the face of Christ to shine upon the one who asks in innocence to see beyond the veil of old ideas and ancient concepts held so long and dear against the vision of the Christ in you. Be vigilant against temptation then remembering that it is but a wish insane and meaningless to make yourself a thing that you are not and think as well upon the thing that you would be instead. It is a thing of madness, pain, and death a thing of treachery and black despair of failing dreams and no remaining hope except to die and end the dream of fear. This is temptation, nothing more than this. Can this be difficult to choose against? Consider what temptation is and see the real alternatives you choose between. There are but two. Be not deceived by what appears as many choices. There is hell or heaven and of these you choose but one. Let not the world's light given unto you be hidden from the world. It needs the light for it is dark indeed and men despair because the Saviour's vision is withheld and what they see is death. Their Saviour stands unknowing and unknown beholding them with eyes unopened and they cannot see until he looks on them with seeing eyes and offers them forgiveness with his own. Can you to whom God says release my son be tempted not to listen when you learn it is you for whom he asks release and what but this is what this course would teach and what but this is there for you to learn. And from the workbook, Lesson 248 Whatever suffers is not part of me. I have disowned the truth. Now let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. Whatever suffers is not part of me. What grieves is not myself. What is in pain is but illusion in my mind. What dies was never living in reality and did but mock the truth about myself.  Now am I ready to accept him back as God created him and as he is. Father, my ancient love for you returns and lets me love your son again as well. Father, I am as you created me. Now is your love remembered and my own. Now do I understand that they are one. Amen.
