Hey Chameleons, it's Chamele and today I am bringing you this look which is a bright winged liner look with a very nice natural looking everything else because the bright liner pops and is pretty crazy but I wore this to VidCon and I posted a picture on my Instagram and a bunch of you guys liked it and wanted to see a tutorial for it and it's also in my VidCon vlog which is linked down below so if you guys want to check out the original look it is pretty much the same as this but I decided to make a tutorial because you guys asked for it but anyways let's get into the tutorial. So I started out by doing my face which I'll show you guys in a tutorial if you want but I pretty much did like foundation concealer powder blush highlight and contour so we have a great place to start out with and we can just move straight on to the eyes. Oh and if you were wondering my lips look super glossy and oily because I have aqua four on them which I'm just letting soak into my lips while I'm doing the rest of my makeup so it'll be nice and supple and ready for the lipstick afterwards but I'm starting out with my eyes using my Urban Decay primer potion just to my eye shadow will adhere to my eyelids better. Now I'm going to be using my NYX Auvant pop palette and there's this nice crease color right here and it's just a nice medium brown and I'm going to be putting that in my crease and I'm using my Sigma small tapered blending brush to do that and when I blend it I'm kind of flicking it outwards instead of pulling it down to a circle so it can kind of get that like little bit of a wing shape and in the same palette I'm using this beigey gray color just to do my lid so it's one smooth color and so my liner will kind of pop against it and then to highlight I'm just using my Becca Champagne pop cheek highlighter and I like to apply this with my finger just because it goes on a little bit more dense and I just I like it I like blending it with my finger also gonna add a little bit of this in the inner corners but not too much so we don't distract from the main attraction which is the eyeliner. Okay so the funnest part of this look is the yellow liner which is this it's by OFRA it's called yellow submarine and it's just like a gel cream thing like I wouldn't really call it a gel liner because it's very liquidy and I don't know if you guys can tell but like that's definitely not thick enough to be a gel but it's also not a liquid it's like in between a gel and a liquid but you want to use a really small brush when you're applying this so I'm using this it's the Sigma winged liner brush and when I did it the first time I didn't have any thin brushes with me at VidCon so I'm pretty sure that this one's gonna be a lot easier to control just because of the size so you're just gonna pick up a little bit of that on your brush and not too much at a time it's really easy to pick up a lot of this and then what I like to do is just kind of start in the middle and place it along my lash line and you want this to be a nice solid line and that's really the key because if it doesn't turn out solid then it's just gonna look like garbage also you want the line to be somewhat thick because you're going to be doing a line on top of it on the bottom half with black and you don't want that too thin then the black is gonna cover up all yellow I just realized that I could call this a paint that's between gel and liquid it's kind of like a gooey paint now I'm gonna do the same thing on this eye just so that they're gonna come out with the lid space being even before I start doing the wing now that we have this part taken care of we're gonna do the hardest part which is winging it out it's gonna be very careful and just take it slowly I'm gonna do a line that connects to the tip of my eyebrow and the edge of my eye that's gonna be my guideline for where I draw the first line and then I'm gonna connect it in so this is what the liner looks like currently it's very very bright so now I'm gonna grab out a black liner just to do right underneath it to kind of emphasize my eye shape so I know there's nothing left written on this but this is the NYC liquid liner and so far this is my favorite liquid liner that has like a brush on it um I don't really like the brush part of this but I love the formula and it's a lot easier to put on top of this stuff because this is kind of liquidy and gooey and when I use pen liner on top it kind of gets all over the pen and I don't want that so the liquid comes off the brush a lot easier so I definitely recommend using liquid on top so what happens if you were to mess up when you're doing the black part well my solution for you is downed if you mess up this part it's actually gonna be so hard to correct so I'm being very careful right now and I'm trying not to open my eyes too much and smudge it and then on the bottom I'm just gonna do some very simple black liner this is a cajol pencil by Essence in black and I'm just gonna do this on my water line going most of the way in but not all the way for mascara I'm using my smashbox x-rated and I'm gonna do the top and bottom lashes with this I'm gonna start by coating the tops my lashes trying to get as close as possible to the base because if there's any stray yellow you want to cover that so you have to have a really steady hand for today's look so you should probably do this before you take your caffeine for the day so you don't have those jitters and shaky hands whoa that was exhilarating um now I'm gonna do my bottom lashes which is a lot less scary because I have nothing to lose down here I'm just gonna do very light like wiggles on them because my lashes are really long so I'm not really trying to go the whole length of them I just kind of want to darken them all right so now I'm going to brush upwards for my top lashes when I first did this look at VidCon I used falsies just because I was using falsies the whole week but I feel like uh that might be a little bit too much for today because I'm about to go to a job interview in like 20 minutes and they're already not gonna hire me for the yellow liner so I don't want to rub it in with some lashes they probably also hate dyed hair so there's that so I'm very happy with how the liner turned out so now I'm just gonna quickly fill in my brows with my makeup forever pro sculpting brow pencil which is what I've been using a lot lately so now for my lips I'm gonna kind of just wipe off that aqua four my lips are super super soft right now I'm gonna use my makeup forever pro sculpting lip pen in 11 which is just a nice pink that looks pretty natural and isn't gonna be too much of a distraction from the eyes then on the other side it has this kind of cool highlighting apparatus so I'm just gonna put a little bit of that on my finger and use it to highlight my cupid's bow so hope you guys enjoyed today's tutorial and if you guys ever see a photo that I post or a vlog that I'm in that you really like the makeup for uh let me know and I might be able to do a makeup tutorial like I did for this one my VidCon look if you guys didn't already know which you would if you followed me on Instagram twitter or snapchat but I just launched a third

Dental implants have improved a lot in recent years. People who have lost their natural teeth can now get fixed dentures. And with the all-on-four approach, dentists can replace the entire top or bottom set of teeth with just four screws in one visit. But few studies have investigated the long-term success of these fixed dentures and whether the cheaper acrylic versions work as well as the more expensive ceramic ones. Researchers in Germany and Turkey have now compared both options over a five-year period, offering an unprecedented look at how these dentures hold up over time. The dentist recruited 29 patients who opted for either acrylic or ceramic fixed dentures and evaluated them before and after surgery on a variety of measures. Overall, both types of dentures perform similarly in patients. Bone loss, for instance, increased in both groups over the years as expected, but was relatively minimal and low enough to easily be considered successful. Patients' oral health-related quality of life also went up. As measured by the oral health impact profile in which higher scores indicate problems, both dentures essentially eliminated any impairment as soon as they were installed and over time relatively few issues developed. Bite force, which was measured for the first time with pressure film, also increased and remained strong over time. Although, by the fifth year, the ceramic dentures had a slight edge. These results are consistent with previous reports suggesting that both fixed dentures are highly effective and that if costs are a concern, acrylic dentures are a fine choice. But the team also identified a concerning increase in sulcus flow in the acrylic dentures after about three years. Higher rates of flow are linked to more inflammation and eventual bone degradation. The findings suggest that given more time, acrylic dentures may prematurely fail. The acrylic dentures also showed more abrasion and in a quarter of patients, veneers cracked while the ceramic ones remained intact. These problems indicate that the lower cost of the acrylic dentures may not be worth it long-term. Even longer follow-up and future studies may help answer whether ceramic dentures are the superior choice.


Welcome back to the review and today I'm going to take a look at this here which is the battery base with stand for the Echo Show 5. That's right today it's about a product review but before I start if you use this channel hi my name is JD and I do product reviews like these sometimes it's art of books I do acting analysis clips I do animation analysis clips rig reviews animation news all kind of things and if that's something that you like feel free to subscribe and hit the bell button to don't miss any of those uploads that is the pitch you know it it's a YouTube pitch but it helps me grow the channel but enough about that let's get to the product I haven't even opened this this is brand new this was given to me so disclaimer this is if you will a sponsored product because I did not pay for this this was given to me thank you Zoe by GGMM they have patiently waited for the review so that is the box that is the side side here battery base with stand for Echo Show 5 and there you go you got a little plastic in the here let's open this up surgically anything else I think that is it that's what you get in there here is the ES5 setup guide that looks like one piece you can unfold yes it is Deutsch Francais different languages gives you the setup guide of all of that there you go different languages but let's look at this in English so basically what happens here you can take your echo put on top of that you can see the plate here you can connect it that's for the battery thing and you have the stand at the bottom so you can see this here that you got your stand you can adjust so it's not just a battery pack but it's also a stand it's very convenient and I was absolutely interested in reviewing this because I have my Echo 5 in my office my office right over there you can see it can even turn the camera but I have this on and I play Star Trek in all kinds of movies while I work so it's always something playing but it is because it is cable stuck to that one area and as I work out I also have music playing or I play movies but it's usually over my phone and I was very interested in grabbing this and have that battery pack so I can take this everywhere so this could be downstairs this could be in a different room this could be in the living room was always like listening to things be it music or movies or tv shows whatever so I thought this was really cool and I was very interested in trying this out so this is what you get this is the cover here you can unpack it like that you got this which I shall rip open here these are usually your packing things in there and there you go that is the size you can see my hand comparison here so you got a little rubber feet so that it doesn't it really doesn't move I have to push this really hard so this is pretty good so it doesn't slide around then you got your power button here and here is your cable you will take this off and then connect that into your echo 5 and you got plug in dc in if you want to charge it like this it has a usb out so let me grab my echo 5 and then plug that in and see how that works there you go I got the camera closed here this is some dust on there because it never goes anywhere so you can see this here you're going to put that on there let me bring it up we've got a little click on you can see this nicely molded you can see how much you can see how closely this fits here and you can take this and put it right in here click that click and hold you see the four lights I'm going to go through the manual so you can see what that means I would assume right off the bat that this is about a full charge but I always like trying things out without reading the manuals I know this is ridiculous but just to see how intuitive it is and I don't think this is going to be very complicated you got your echo here connected but you can see this here you can see how you can swivel it around this doesn't go it doesn't turn it doesn't do anything sideways or tilting this is just up and down like this if you rest it like that you can see it goes up quite far actually and down it's actually fairly heavy has a little magnetic connection there you can see I can lift this and that battery stays put so it's really durable I can even hold it like this and it's no problem that's pretty cool so it's nothing that will kind of come off I like that that's pretty neat yes 10 53 that is the time on the weekend Alexa play star trek the next generation season two here's star trek the next generation season two episode four that's how far into it I am season four uh episode four season two let me turn down the sound here I don't want to get into uh any copyright problems with the sound here oh the outrageous okona not exactly the best episode but it's a classic actually this guy I think was supposed to be the original riker but anyway so you can see this again holds neatly a lot of oh you can see that really clicks in nothing happens here I can go pretty hefty in my shaking here and this holds is very cold so now you can put this anywhere anywhere you want let's put this back here you can see this you can see this here you can hold this here it goes back like that that's the range of the tilting here so it's towards you and a bit back it would be kind of cool to do either like a sideways tilt or a rotation but I can see why this would be a problem because you got that cable here so that is going to give you a certain limitation in terms of how far you can rotate so it makes sense that you can't do that so that is the length maybe that's something and a future thing where it could have an insert here I can put in the cable then we unspool and you have maybe a longer cable and maybe this would rotate also a 360 turnaround maybe I don't know but this is already pretty cool so I'm going to try this out I'm going to take this into different rooms different scenarios in the garage where I work out to kind of fast forward and I'm going to do a bit of testing there I'll come back in a couple days or couple weeks and see how this goes I want to tell you how happy I am to be assigned to you Alexa stop still worked been playing since I unboxed it battery still going three lights out of four so far so good I love it still works oh hi still working bedroom time still works all right so I've tested this as you can see in all kinds of environments again this is here still playing absolutely fantastic I have to say this is not because it's sponsored this was given to me for free this would be an incentive to to exaggerate but I have found that I've been taking this everywhere especially when I work out and then go downstairs just a quick thing was it's I have to say this with Alexa is a lot faster in terms of bringing up movies and tv shows and things I want to listen to then when I do a hey Siri had to pause that just to see that it didn't activate anything so when I say hey ha ha ha play whatever demolition man it would take actually quite some time to bring up and a few times they would even play like it brings up the movie but I still have to go there and play and for me in my office downstairs everywhere I can just say hey Alexa played demolition man and it's going to load it up and it's going to play it and I don't have to touch anything the sound quality is great and with this again it lasts a really long time and if you go on the actual website so here on the page you can see here product description and photos it shows you everything for free to scroll down and check it all out you got all information you got size and weight as well but what I wanted to look at is this here it plays up to nine and a half hours at 50 volume so I wanted to test that and it wasn't a 50% volume it was fairly loud I would say probably 70% it was again it was loud working out in the office all kinds of places and I used it continuously and I use a stopwatch and it told me that it died after nine hours 19 minutes basically nine hours and 20 minutes so at 50% volume I can absolutely see this lasting for nine and a half hours so this is totally true I also plug this back in because as you can see in the unboxing it doesn't come with the cable so the power cable that comes with this one you can plug in here and you can charge it what I tried was when it was completely dead plug it back in and then charge it while playing so it's not you have to wait so when you plug it back in at zero battery and you charge it while playing it charges still and it keeps it up but it takes here it took me six hours six and a half hours to charge the whole thing while it was playing I was just curious because I wanted to play it all the time and not wait but of course you can unplug this and just charge it just that without playing of course they will charge a lot faster so overall I would say this is really cool you can see the size it's tiny enough not super heavy heavy enough though to be sturdy and with the feet doesn't slide and again with the magnet here that's nicely secured and really it doesn't come off so I think the build is really cool it doesn't get hot either again at full volume and playing this and charging this I am really really impressed and again this is not just because I got it for free I have to say I've been testing this now every day I'm playing this I'm using this everywhere it's really really cool so thank you so much for sending this to me and if you have an Echo Show 5 and you're interested in a battery pack check out the link in the description go through the details if that's something for you it costs 39.99 dollars comes in black comes in white depending on what Alexa color you have so big thumbs up two thumbs up from me curious if you have it let me know what your experience has been with this and maybe you have another battery pack that you prefer or you think that this one is the best out of all them I don't know I've only tested this one but so far it's been really really cool I highly recommend it and other than that that's it for the review as always thank you for watching if this was helpful you thought ah that's cool I don't want to miss any other uploads that this guy is doing here then feel free to subscribe and hit the bell button so you don't miss any of those set uploads and other than that I'll say thank you so much for watching thank you for taking the time to watch until the very end and this is the end and I'll say thank you and I'll see you in my next upload


Organized labor suspends strike in Kaduna following the intervention of the federal government. But the Kaduna State government isn't convinced. Senate Debates Bill prescribing a 15-year prison sentence to persons who facilitate ransom payment. And cryptocurrencies continue freefall after China places new restrictions on digital currencies. Good morning to you and welcome to the breakfast here on Plus TV Africa. Beautiful Thursday morning as we always like to describe it. And thank you so much for waking up with us. I am Osaugier Ogban. And I am Annette Felix. Good morning. Good morning to you. How are you? I'm doing alright. You came very pretty in red this morning. Thank you. All the lips anyway. Good morning anyway. So let's get straight into some of the things we were discussing this morning. For the next two hours we're going to be having very, very interesting conversations and some of the biggest topics across Nigeria today. Yes, inter-curity and the analysis strike in particular. Absolutely. Yesterday we spoke with Ayuba Waba and of course he seemed very adamant that the strike was going to continue regardless of whatever tactics the Kaduna State government was going to use. But apparently a couple of hours later the strike was called off because of a proposed meeting that they have with the Minister of Labor today and of course to create a space for dialogue. We'll get into that sometime during the show this morning. Besides that some of the things that is making headlines across the country and across the world is the free fall of cryptocurrencies across the world. A lot of people have had many heart attacks. Some people of course have lost a lot of money and it doesn't seem to be changing. Bitcoin which used to be as much as I think it got to a $50,000 at some point or even higher dropped to as low as $38,000 yesterday. I heard this morning it's climbed up to $39,000 for Bitcoin. But there's been others, Ethereum and the other names that you can imagine. People have blamed China as the reason because China of course declared its own stance with regards to cryptocurrencies and wasn't interested in the cryptocurrency market. And of course Elon Musk also who they have accused of playing Kalu Kalu with cryptocurrency. So these are some of the reasons why a lot of people are shedding tears across Nigeria today. I personally have never been interested in it because funny enough I remember that there was a time back I think maybe like 2016 that I had a radio interview and some people came to market cryptocurrency and as early as that I still wasn't interested. Like I don't know about this. I'm not going to put my $100 into any currency that I really don't know anything about. But first for a couple of years later it became the currency everyone wanted to trade in. Yes and for people who are wondering why is Nigeria or Nigerians so particular about this. I mean cryptocurrency is traded globally right? Well the fact remains as part of its 2020 survey or reports. We found out that more cryptocurrency trading goes on in Nigeria than anywhere else in the world. About 1.1 million Nigerians involved in cryptocurrency trading. Millions of cryptocurrency trading goes on every day in the country. Many young Nigerians who are unemployed even those who even have jobs have found cryptocurrency as sort of a new way to cash and cash out. So it's just we know that it's this digital currency that you can't actually touch you can't actually see but this is basically a system using blockchain technology where every transaction basically is anonymous so to speak and we know how the cryptocurrency was used to pull funds on the entire process how in February 2021 the federal government intervened and said banks are restricted from trading or trading in cryptocurrency and all of that. It's just been a lot of controversy. But regarding cryptocurrencies there was this major diptyp where we're sitting now in 2021. It was the same thing in 2017 and you see lots of people giving their opinion on this. We know first of all Elon Musk CEO of Tesla talked about how actually Tesla as a company put out a statement some weeks ago saying they would no longer accept cryptocurrency as a means of payment for their cars and that single statement sends cryptocurrency dipping and I saw people commenting on Twitter saying they would never invest in something that just one switch from a man can just you know turn around and you see people complaining saying they put their dad's pension, their life savings into cryptocurrency and now it's crashed. But for me when I think about investments like this I like to be strategic in the way that I like to buy the dip meaning you buy low and you sell high right because if you're buying when it's all the craze is all about this particular thing or it's all about cryptocurrency all about Bitcoin you are likely likely to experience what's happening now the crypto crash. Everyone's speaking about buying low and expecting it to go high what if you buy low and it continues to go low and I've seen people joke about it. It will go low but it will definitely come back high.  Well you know that is the fate that a lot of people had this one that you have now that put you know a lot of them in trouble today because they've lost a lot of money people have lost millions of nair dollars and pounds even you know but I'm thinking mostly because of Nigerians a lot of people have lost money because of you know not understanding the market and you know the instability that could you know exist in that market like you said for one person to be able to tweet and you know the value of cryptocurrency just continues to you know drop deep lower than you know crude oil then it's a very very unstable place to trust you know that your money will be safe do you have faith that it would come back up did you have plans for the money that you used to buy earlier hoping that maybe by May or by April or by June you've able to use that money how long are they gonna wait for you to climb back up before they you know might sell again and when it starts to rise at what point do you think okay I think I've taken enough risk let me you know sell you know you're gonna wait till it gets to 50,000 or 60 or 70 do you think it might get to 80,000 or maybe not like every other thing cryptocurrency investment is an investment and for any other investment it's a risk no risk no reward so they say yeah but it's a lot easier when you can when you have a clear picture of what type of risk you're taking you know you cannot risk people are aware of the risk that Bitcoin can the price of Bitcoin can't go down today nobody expected it can go up so this is what I'm talking about it's just like the stock market really it depends on the volume of volume of trade and that's that really depends on how the market but nobody would expect that a statement from China or from Elon Musk would affect it that fast that's the difference so yes there's a risk in every you know business but it should take some time there should be some level of some leverage before a business starts to shake and then you can say okay maybe this was a bad investment not just one tweet in one day and everything just that's why I said he uses to play Kalo Kalo because he can wake up tomorrow morning and say oh I think we had a rethink we didn't you know observe this thing well enough that statement you just made no cryptocurrency enthusiast would ever agree that cryptocurrency is a bad investment no matter how low it dips see let me pull out some tweets here from Twitter there's a statement here this one's not really a statement just a single line saying dips equals discount so if you want to invest in cryptocurrency according to what the market is saying now is like the perfect time because you know it's low and don't take this as financial advice between my thoughts oh come on hold me on Twitter I say I better ask me to you know I'm not asking you to invest so you know basically people just talking about how you know the cryptocurrency deep right now the crash is really affecting their pockets you know but anyway that's that's what it is definitely it will come back up it's also it also shows you know a lot of Nigerians and their interest in or their lack of faith in the Nigerian currency and so we've spoken many times about you know the likes of MMM and you know any other you know promise of money doubling Nigerians don't play with things like that once you have any idea you know that maybe if you put your money here it might triple it might double it might get a couple of percentage higher in a couple of months they go straight into it and everyone wants to make everybody that's simply the concept of savings you put a little you put a little and money keeps multiplying but anyway let's move on now to from cryptocurrencies and financial transactions to some other certain type of transaction that we're not exactly sure of because this happened in Katzena state I believe where a gunman allegedly abducted a Sharia court judge in Katzena so when I talked about transactions we have no idea if you know ransom demands would be made or has been made but as far as we know this occurred on Tuesday in a residence a gunman suspected to be banded allegedly swooped on the judge's court which is located at a village called Bahrain Zakat in the village council and they swooped him away so when I read the police statement you know I had mixed feelings about it because the police statement here we saw that the spokesman for the Katzena state police command Gambo Issa he confirmed that incident he said investigations are already underway but he basically said this court judge should have requested police protection he should have requested police escorts and I'm like okay as an ordinary Nigerian who don't even have the financial means to go to the police station or put a call through to the police chief or whoever it is and demand for police escort that means I am just on my own right so it caught judge should demand police escort before going to certain places in Nigeria and he's basically saying here that he added that judiciary workers are on strike and he has no idea what the man is doing in court oh wow that's cold but anyway I always say that we need to realize what our true reality is as Nigerians if a judge can be taken from his court then any person can be taken there is some people who are pretty much higher class these criminals expect to have money and he probably is on that level what truly is our reality in Nigeria and I feel like a lot of people there's one thing that we're going to be talking about later on the show and that is the 15 year sentence we'll talk about that later a lot of people have taken advantage of the weak security infrastructure that we currently have in Nigeria or not just have taken advantage of it have seen that this is how poor security infrastructure is maybe they didn't notice before but they've seen it now and they've decided let's take advantage of it if we kidnap somebody we're pretty much confident that they will be able to pay ransom without us getting caught and it's become a booming business across Nigeria I'm not sure if you spoke about this the stories about what's going on in Lagos about people getting kidnapped along the Victoria Island along Lecky and Mirauti way and taking into random cars and this has been confirmed? yeah I've seen stories like that I've seen one person who said she suffered that and they ask them for money take all their valuables and eventually kick them out of the car eventually but it is basically there is a very visibly weak security infrastructure that criminals have taken advantage of we hope that the judge gets back home safe and unhurt regardless of how he has to do it and we hope that there is an answer to kidnapping the NINs don't seem to be working the moves made by the Nigerian government don't seem to be working in any way and so what really is the answer to ending kidnapping in Nigeria do we need to set up a new committee to start to talk about what must be done to end kidnapping in Nigeria does the government need to place a natural ban on payment of ransom I think that in my opinion right, I know we are talking about this in detail in a few seconds but I know that I've read stories about how this particular method worked in other countries I can't remember the name of the country now but they placed a ban on paying ransom and because of that kidnappers knew they could not expect to get ransom because you know the people who they should be getting the ransom from are pretty bitter from doing so so it worked and kidnapping you know it began to decline but here in Nigeria it seems like you're just treating the symptoms of a problem the root cause should be tackling insecurity and for people who think this might not even affect you I mean take a look even in a place like Lagos right you're taking a walk on the street and it just seems like gone are the days when someone could just stop by and say I want to give you a ride or do you need a ride and you just hop in and say oh thank god I have you know a free ride to my destination now everybody is scared nobody can just jump into any car in fact I was taking a walk I did some exercises yesterday I was taking a walk back home and this flashy car stopped by you needed to see the way I ran from that situation I was like don't be me walking up nobody is safe anymore it's just such a sad situation and like I mentioned beyond treating these symptoms of you know putting a ban on paying ransom they should treat this the root cause because you wouldn't tell a parent who sends their most prized possession maybe their only girl whoever it is in their family to school and the person is kidnapped and you say they should fold their arms and watch and not do anything to get their child back they would definitely do anything they would sell their house if they need to just to make sure that their child comes back to them so the main issue should be tackled well it might work but until they make it's an official statement in Nigeria the payment of ransom is banned completely because now there's we're talking about 15 year sentence just a second you place a ban on paying ransom to kidnappers they kidnap your daughter right you pay ransom and they come and arrest you while your daughter still remains in the kidnap I really don't understand how that will work this is the difference between those countries you mentioned I think France or Russia I'm not sure which it is the difference between those places and Nigeria is they also understand their own responsibility as a country and as a system to protect and to rescue those citizens that's the difference so when citizens are not rescued it is seen as a government failure it is not seen as a failure of people to pay ransom or poverty it's a scene they know and understand the value of their life of every single citizen and so there's infrastructure there are systems there are institutions that are put in place to ensure that every citizen that is kidnapped or might be in danger it is their responsibility but the difference here is that the Nigerian government still doesn't understand the value of that Nigerian life and so when you tell a person don't pay ransom the citizen already knows that if I don't pay ransom I don't trust the government to rescue my child or my husband or my wife when the Kajuna State government was quoted as saying we're going to bombard the territory there's going to be a few casualties we're going to rescue some stay with us we'll go on a short break when we come back what major stories are making headlines across Nigeria today we'll share with you we'll be back


Hello, welcome to this week's CMC Markets Commodity Snapshot, this week we are focusing on gold. We've just had a more hawkish set of Federal Reserve Minutes which has implications for inflation and interest rates and we're also at a key level on the chart for gold namely the $1280, $1280 per ounce. Now there have been rising geopolitical tensions across the world, of course Iraq, the Gaza Strip, Ukraine, but that has acted to some extent to keep the price of the gold higher, but really what's been driving gold and what is likely to drive gold either to the upside or the downside of this 1,300 midpoint that we've been trading around is going to be interest rates and inflation particularly out of the US. Now what's been happening recently is that there's been a slight change in the dynamics whereas at some point inflation was rising in the US and the Federal Reserve were remaining quite dovish meaning they were not going to raise interest rates soon so inflation looked like it was going to get out of control and as such gold is an inflation hedge, you buy gold to protect yourself against rising inflation. For now inflation is still quite high in the US but it looks like the Fed are now looking to act against it as mentioned in their recent minutes looking at potentially raising rates if economic data continues to improve sooner than was otherwise expected in the market so in that sense inflation may be contained and as such you don't need gold as an inflation hedge and other markets that have a yield in a high yield environment are going to outperform gold which obviously doesn't earn you any interest. Now in reference to the price of gold let's have a quick look at the chart we have a daily candlestick chart here and you can see the broad range that we've been trading in since the end of last year. Now this 1280 level is approximately the middle of this trading range and it's actually depending on how you count it since March this 1280 level has been tested eight times so it's becoming more and more significant and should we see a break below there it does substantially increase the odds that we could see a move back down to the base of this trading range around $1,200 pounds. Okay that's it for this week's CMT markets commodity snapshot of course we were looking at gold always keep an eye on for these geopolitics when they when they escalate the gold price will likely react but over the slightly longer haul let's watch what's happening with the Federal Reserve even this week we have a Jackson Hole meeting which Janet Yellen the Fed chair will be talking so any comments which infer a rate hike against contained inflation could be dampening on the price of gold.


Welcome back mentors. Any success story begins with a goal. Goals give us direction and help us achieve our vision. Those who have a goal and regularly monitor their progress towards their goal perform better. In this video, we will learn about how you can set goals for yourself as a mentor-teacher. When students move ahead with learning gaps, they not only lose interest in the subject but also lose their confidence. Learning is enhanced if students love the subject, they don't fear it and when they take accountability of their own learning. Keeping this in mind, Khan Academy is here to support you in improving student learning outcomes and removing the fear of math in students. It is with this objective that we want to provide a free world-class education to anyone anywhere. If you want to achieve this vision for your students, then you will need to set two concrete goals for yourself and commit to working towards those goals. Our first goal is to ensure that all our teachers and our students have access to Khan Academy. As a mentor-teacher, essentially, I need to ensure that two things happen. One, 100% of my teachers have created their Khan Academy teacher accounts and two, all our students have access to Khan Academy. For this, we will need all our teachers to create their classes on Khan Academy, add all their students to the class and support the students in activating their accounts. Here's a summary of how our first goal would look like. Goal one, provide Khan Academy access to all teachers and students. For this, all teachers will need to create their teacher accounts on Khan Academy, all teachers will need to create their classes on Khan Academy and then all teachers will need to add their students to these classes. All students will need to have received their Khan Academy login ID and password from their teachers and activate their accounts by logging into Khan Academy. You will need to continuously monitor progress on each of these steps and support your teachers wherever needed to achieve this goal. As we work on providing access to our students, we will also need to monitor how many of our teachers and students are using Khan Academy. This is because our ultimate goal is to improve student learning outcomes and we will not be able to achieve it if we stop at providing access. It is very important for you to know that students who spend at least 30 minutes each week practicing on Khan Academy have shown improvement in their learning outcomes. So our second goal is to increase the percentage of students who study more than 30 minutes per week on Khan Academy. Let's understand this goal a little better. Suppose at present, 30% of your students are studying for more than 30 minutes a week on Khan Academy. You could set a goal to gradually increase this usage to 50% of students and then increase this to ensure that 100% of your students are using Khan Academy for 30 minutes per week. To track progress towards this goal, you should weekly review the data available to you and identify schools or teachers who need your support. There might be issues related to availability of devices, internet speed or there may be gaps in a teacher's understanding. In previous videos, we've discussed the specific support you can provide to teachers based on the implementation model that they've chosen for their class. Remember to set a clear timeline for each of your goals. Before moving to the next video, we recommend you review the data for your set of schools. Based on the current data, set specific goals that you want to achieve for both access and use. You can break each of these down further into what you want to achieve in the next 7 days, 1 month and so on. Once you've set the goals based on the data available, it is time for you to stay connected with teachers. Help them resolve challenges, acknowledge their efforts so that you can see progress.


Our next speaker is Ethan Zuckerman who, again, requires no introduction to this group, and Ethan is a senior researcher at the Berkman Center and has been involved in a number of really important projects involving media, particularly the developing world, among the media cloud, and are you all set up, Ethan, to start up? So I'm going to save the discussion for the end of this because we're running a bit late. So, Jeff, thank you for that introduction, and a lot of the work that I do for people who don't know my work well is on technology and activism, and a couple of years ago I put forth a pretty simple theory called the cute cat theory, and it was based around a fairly simple observation. When the web's initially invented, it's created by physicists to try to figure out how you can share theoretical papers. Once we get Web 2.0, once we get this whole participatory web, it's about helping people share pictures of their kittens, and it's important to understand this because this actually has implications for activists, and it turns out that almost all the tools that we use for social media for trying to do things like share pictures of our kittens turn out to have actually very interesting implications for activists. In many cases, a tool that's incredibly popular for sharing kittens is the most powerful tool you can put in the hands of an activist. And the reasons for this are pretty straightforward and pretty simple. These tools are really easy to use. They're designed for mass markets. They're really pervasive. People are already using them. You've got millions and millions of people using them, and the fairly subtle point in all of this, I think, is that there's a tremendous cost to an authoritarian government in trying to figure out how to control or censor them. If I'm working in a country that has a high degree of censorship and I put up an explicit human rights site, there's very little cost to that government in censoring that site because there's only a few hundred or a few thousand people looking at that. But if I go onto Facebook and find a way to use my Facebook group to promote awareness of human rights abuses, and if I force the government to shut down Facebook, not only are they alerting the 500 people who cared about my issue in the first place, they're now alerting everybody who had wanted to use Facebook as well. So the goal behind the cute cat theory is to try to figure out some way to raise the social cost of censorship. Now, over the last couple of years, I've been doing research with a guy named Hal Roberts over at the Berkman Center. We've been looking at some of the challenges that come into play for activist and independent media. And one of the most massive ones is distributed denial of service attacks, the ability of people to be able to launch attacks from thousands of computers and shut down that individual website. And this turns out to be yet another reason why you might want to use social media rather than having your site viewed by 500 people. Because your site viewed by 500 people is on this little matchbox of a server that a hundred determined people can stomp into the ground, whereas stomping Facebook or stomping Google or stomping YouTube in the ground is a much, much harder thing to do. So I put this theory up, and I've been thinking about it a great deal in the context of Tunisia. Tunisia actually has a very deep connection to cute cats. Not only are some of the best examples of cute cat theory in practice from Tunisia, but in fact, Tunisia is filled with cute cats. They show up in all sorts of places, including on football pitches. This is not Photoshopped, by the way.  She convinced me that drawing an analogy between what's recently happened in Tunisia and the cute cat theory was a helpful thing to do. And in fact, understanding what has actually happened in the Arab Spring protests that start in the city of 40,000 people, Sidi Bouzid Tunisia, is very helpful to think through the cute cat theory. Now, if you haven't read about this in detail, Zainab Tufesius in the room is one of the great introductions to all of this, but there are a couple of good pieces out there that make the point that what happens in this dusty little town to have it spread throughout the country and to have it spread throughout the region is absolutely remarkable. There have been a lot of protests in Tunisia. There have even been protests where people have set themselves on fire. There have even been, in 2010, fruit sellers setting themselves on fire to protest corruption. But one of the reasons that this protest spreads out of Sidi Bouzid is that we find a way to use social media to document it and to have it go from social media to a broader audience. Sami Ben-Garbia, my dear friend and colleague, puts forth a model that looks something like this. And it's a bit of a self-serving model because Sami's organization is the second step of it. But it's actually a model that makes sense, whereas almost no other models make sense in explaining what happens in Sidi Bouzid. You have these protests take place. Protests in the past basically got very little attention. The government comes in, shuts it down, makes it impossible for anyone to pay attention to it. In this case, what happens is the protests get filmed and those videos get posted onto Facebook. And Facebook has some great advantages and some great disadvantages. The great advantage is that it's incredibly pervasive. The great disadvantage is that it's extremely difficult to find this content and make sense of it. It's hard to search for it. It's hard to tag it. It's incredibly hard to translate it, which turns out to be really critical because Tunisian Arabic is not everybody else's Arabic. So you have this group, Nawat, which Sami runs, along with a bunch of other activists, who come in and basically mine Facebook, grab these videos, figure out how to put them on, figure out how to subtitle them. That becomes a resource for Al Jazeera, which desperately wants to cover what's going on, but is literally shut out of Tunisia. They've never been able to open a bureau there because of Ben Ali. But everyone's got a satellite dish and so very quickly you have stuff moving from Facebook through Nawat, through Jazeera, and then people are able to see a mirror of the protest. They can see what's happening in Sidi Bouzid. They can make the decision in Tunis whether or not they want to get involved with events there. So why Facebook? It turns out that the main reason for why Facebook is a really simple reason. Tunisia's blocked everything else. They've blocked YouTube. They've blocked Vimeo. They've blocked Daily Motion. They've blocked all of this. And the reason that they haven't blocked Facebook is sort of fascinating. They try to block it in 2008, and what ends up happening as a result is that they end up with a 3X usage increase. It gets blocked and so many people are interested in the idea that there must be something on Facebook that they find ways to get around the firewall, to use a proxy server, to get online and get onto it.  And so what happens is that Tunisia, at a certain point, the government concludes that they're better off trying to figure out how to embrace the technology rather than fighting the technology. And one of the little-known facts is that before Ben Ali steps down, he offers a set of concessions. The day before he steps down, he offers concessions. One concession is that we're gonna stop firing live ammunition at protesters. The second is that we're gonna reduce the price of bread and oil. And the third is that we're going to end internet censorship. And if you think about this set of three concessions being offered, it's kind of a fascinating set. The only way that I can make it make it any sense to me is the fact that at this point, Ben Ali has 234,000 Facebook friends. He's only behind Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria at that point as far as the all-important African leader, Facebook Table. So Facebook becomes incredibly important as a space for Tunisia. And this is an interesting vindication. I think of this theory that I'm putting forth, which is that it's possible to have these activist uses of this very popular social media not really designed for this purpose. So the point of my talk is not really to gloat about having vindication for this theory, although I have to admit that's nice and enjoyable. It's mostly actually to talk about where that theory is starting to fail. And obviously the first place that it fails in Egypt because it turns out that for any use of social media for protest, you end up in a situation where if you shut off the internet, you largely shut off that ability to use social media effectively. This isn't really a critique of the notion of using one platform or another. This is simply pointing towards a basic vulnerability. When a society is deeply threatened, it's gonna cut off its communication systems even if there are massive social and economic consequences to it. A much scarier approach to this is the Chinese approach to cute cat theory. And the Chinese approach to cute cat theory basically says we've got Chinese cute cat technology. We can generate as many cute cats as you would like. Those are cute cats that natively speak Mandarin or Cantonese. They're posted directly to Youku, not to YouTube. We block all the rest of the social media. We make Chinese language social media on locally hosted platforms that have a huge staff of sensors who manually review the videos to make sure that the cats aren't putting their paws in the air in demanding revolution but are in fact just flushing the toilet. And this is a much more effective way to combat the cute cat theory, but it has the complication that it costs an immense amount of money. You need to have a massive audience to be able to do it, more than 400 million users. You need to be able to ramp up the labor. If you think about the possibility of social media taking off if everything had to be manually reviewed, it's very hard to imagine that happening in America at our levels of labor costs, it's actually conceivable within a Chinese labor system. But that's not what I'm really scared of. What I'm really scared of is the idea that we are embracing these spaces without thinking about the implication of moving our public speech into private spaces. When we try to run a revolution on Facebook or on YouTube or on any of these tools, we are trying to organize a protest within a shopping mall. And we are leaving it up to the owners of these spaces, whether or not we're going to be able to use these as a public space for these political purposes. Now, when you throw out the observation, there's immediately two different ways you can go with it. The first is to offer the suggestion that the people who run these spaces, the giant evil corporations, are in fact anti-revolutionary, they will never permit social movement. And that's not actually what I wanna argue. And I should point out, I didn't actually put the horns in.  It's sort of an interesting internet index. I'm thinking about doing that on an ongoing basis for who shows up. But I actually think it's the wrong way to look at. I think the right way to look at it is that what we have is the challenge of using digital public spaces that have been designed for one sort of behavior for a very different sort of behavior. So we end up with situations like this all the time. And I'm not meaning to beat up Facebook. This happened to be the most recent example I saw of this, where Facebook has shut down the account of an activist associated with Medan. It's quite possible that this account has gone back up. What happens here is the intersection between a process that makes perfectly good sense for maintaining community norms and doesn't work well in a human rights situation. The process is if more than five or so people complain about someone's profile, you go in and investigate. And if you don't read that profile because you don't read Russian, you're probably gonna disable that profile at that point. The truth is that creates this interesting asymmetry.  And so you end up with this asymmetry where it's the right way, perhaps, to manage a community when it's a community of friends who know each other socially, but it has a real serious problem as far as the world for activists. Similarly, activist content all the time ends up bumping up against terms of service. And the terms of service may be the right thing to keep Facebook or YouTube as a safe space where you're not stumbling onto imagery of people being murdered. But in many cases, that's the activist content we need a way to share. There's a massive debate about whether or not real name identity is a safe thing for activists. And there's the real problem that many activists don't wanna reveal themselves because the governments they're fighting against suddenly have a way to trace them and trace their friends if they're using real names. But in many systems, we use real names as a way of essentially ensuring that we can control discourse in that space and not have it turn into the anonymous common threads on something like YouTube. So the trick with this is that organizations are slowly but surely figuring out how to deal with this. But it's a matter of slowly but surely. This is a video that I'm not gonna show not just because of time, but because it's incredibly uncomfortable. But I recommend looking it up given the US continuing involvement in Bahrain. This is a video that got sent to me by Bahraini activists. And it was the first evidence in the Bahrain protests that this was not gonna go the same way that it went in Tunisia or in Egypt. These were government troops shooting unarmed civilians who were clearly marching peacefully, hands raised towards a military barrier. And then we see in the video, shots fired, protesters fall to the ground, blood, et cetera. And the reason that people had sent these to me directly was that they were convinced that as soon as they posted them to YouTube, they'd be pulled down. Because they are absolutely technically in terms of service violations. So I took them, I cashed them, I tried to figure out how we were gonna get them out in different places on Global Voices and elsewhere. And to their great credit, YouTube did this instead. It allowed them to remain up. It put this disclaimer on top of them, essentially saying, do not click this unless you absolutely positively know what you're doing. But we're going to essentially make an exception to our terms of service to allow this content to remain. Now this is great and this is laudable and it's incredibly laudable that Facebook has found ways to stop deleting YLGoneem's profile and then allow it to be celebrated and allow it to grow. And it's great that sites across the board are finding ways to do this, but it pulls out some basic tensions. It's not real easy for YouTube to advertise on this site. Most advertisers really don't want their banner ad next to this particular video. It's simply counter to the business model associated with it. It also has some really interesting implications. At the point we conclude that YouTube is the tool for revolution because it's a great way to share video. Does it make it possible for YouTube to go into a market like Vietnam or a market like China where that's going to be viewed as an extremely difficult thing to do? Look, the challenge is this. We've created these fears. And I do mean we because this is the world that I literally come out of. I used to be the CTO for an early web content company. We created these tools to have a certain set of behaviors. We wanted friends to be able to exchange information with one another. And we built terms of services that made it possible for us to control that behavior. And in many cases, empowered ourselves to take down any content we were troubled by. But now we end up in a scenario where we've allowed these privately held spaces to become our network public spheres. These are where we're having our political debates. And at a certain point, the terms of service that we've put forward to enable that interpersonal communication, that blurry line between public and private that Dana's talking about, may be completely inappropriate for trying to figure out how you start a public movement. And so the challenge becomes this. How do we ask corporations, private companies, that have liabilities to shareholders and responsibilities and such, do we ask these organizations to take on this role of hosting these deeply important public conversations, or do we try to figure out the alternative knowing full well that the alternative is a really, really difficult one. We never drove anyone to do activism on Facebook or on YouTube because we thought it was the best set of tools. We drove people to do it because of all the other things that make these tools appealing for activism. Activists aren't gonna move away from these tools, even as they turn out not to be the right spaces. We need to figure out how to have a dialogue about how we build public spaces atop them. So, thanks.


This one was kind of a bummer because you didn't have Kawhi. You didn't have Paul George. The Bucks hold him off, 124, 117. Damian Lillard, 16 of his 34, 4, 5. Hello. Points came in the fourth quarter. He had a little bit of assist. I'm having a Chandler morning. Yannis and Dame, only second teammate since 1980 to record at least 30 points and 10 assists in a game. We waited. We didn't know if this would work. Seems to be we working, Chandler. Does this two-man situation settled now in Milwaukee? I mean, yeah, these are two elite offensive players. They have the new coach now. They seem to be making somewhat adjustments where they go to a zone. They switch. They go small. They go big. So I will credit Doc for trying different things. But yeah, you look at these guys. We said it when the trade happened on paper. This makes perfect sense. You got one of the most physical downhill players in Yannis that can kind of get to the rim whenever he wants, get out, and transition. And you pair that with one of the best elite shooters in the league that can provide him with even more spacing. It sounded good. And now it took a little while to figure it out. Took a little bit of time for the other guys to know their role. But yeah, the same thing, like the Lakers, they're clicking. This team is clicking right now. They're looking to be dangerous. I think they're going to snag that two-seed in the East and kind of jump Cleveland here soon. I think they're tied with them now. But this team is offensively, they have so much power. They have other guys, too, where they have the Lopez, the Contans, these guys can also throw in 5-3s. So this team is dangerous. And it's going to come down to them in Boston.  But it's definitely, you're seeing it starting to work. Guys know in their role. Guys know in their spacing. They're running a bunch of different sets now. And they look really comfortable. Yeah, Lou, I'm wondering if there's, when you watch them play now, obviously, compared to the beginning, it looks different. Is there anything that they still have yet to master or are they in a really good place where we are in the season? Yeah, they're going to have to adjust again when Chris Middleton's in the lineup. Obviously, that's somebody who's going to give them 20-plus points a game that you're going to have to work in. Other than that, I like the fact that Doc has figured it out. He's put these two guys in actions together. He's put a lot of pressure on defense. He's put them in a two-man game where you've got to really pick your poison. Whether Damon's going to come off and shoot, Yannis is a roll threat. Yannis is also a post-up threat. Obviously, Damon's a drive threat. So putting them in actions, putting a lot of pressure on the defense, it's work for them. And I think this is something that they've found to be successful, opposed to them coming down on offense. Damon have an opportunity to do his thing. It doesn't work. Now it's a swing swing. Now it's Yannis opportunity to do his thing. And if it doesn't work, now they're playing scramble basketball instead. They're picking teams apart in a two-man game. This worked against the Clippers. So I think this is a great sample size. The only thing they're going to have to figure out is what are they going to do when it comes to that three-man game? You know, Chris Middleton is going to be a huge part of that. But so far, for those two guys to figure it out together and play off of each other's energy to read and react on the offensive end, it worked well for them last night. This is great. I mean, you heard Chandler talk about how he's, he thinks they're going to grab that set. They're in the second spot right now, but it's a half game. So it's a flip flop for a while here, but they got 17 games left. Do you think the Bucks, when it's said and done regular season ends, are they sitting in that two spot or does Cleveland come back? Yeah, but it's in the air. It's in the air. And listen, they've been projected to be a better team than Cleveland since this trade has happened. And even before that trade, we had high expectations for the Milwaukee Bucks. So if they do snag that spot, no surprise there. I think that's what's expected. That's what they should have had this entire year. You know, obviously with the coaching change, they hit a little turbulence there, but they figured it out. They've got everything right. It's smooth sailing right now and that team is rolling. And so I really think they should, and they will finish with that second seed. Shams internally feels like a night and day from where we were just a few weeks ago with this Bucks team. How are they feeling there in-house about where they are? Confident for sure. And actually we do need to give Doc Rivers a lot of credit because what he's brought to this team is, I think structure and down the stretch of games, you've seen the ball in Damien Lillard's hands. And that was something that was a focal point, something that they just were not able to do under Adrian Griffin is really manage the game and figure out exactly where you want the ball to go. And Damien Lillard, the game is best for the Bucks when down the stretch of games, it's in his hands. And you have to give Doc Rivers a lot of credit. This team has completely flipped the script defensively. That was the major issue on this team all year. But they're now hovering around 10th in terms of defensive rating in the whole league. They were 18th before Doc Rivers came in. They're giving up a ton of points in the paint, 24th in the league, now they're about 7th in the league in points in the paint. So this is a team that's completely turned it around defensively and you have to give Doc Rivers a lot of credit for that. Yeah, there were a lot of us making a lot of noise. It's gonna be interesting where they end up. Chandler, this one goes to you first because it deals with daylight savings. And I feel like you're now our expert on that. But Paul George and Kauai Leonard set out yesterday's game because it was noon Pacific and they played on Saturday at one. So it was 22 hours in between games. And Ty Luz said that that was extreme, very extreme. Does he have a point? Yeah, I don't, has this ever happened before where a game will take 24 hours? That is, he definitely has a point.  Cause that is, I don't, like I said, I don't think I've ever seen this before where the daylight is confusing. It's definitely confusing. Oh, Michelle, this is all news to me, the daylight saving situation. But yeah, I think he's got a point here with given given their state of their career, where they are, how good they've been this year. Everyone now in this position is looking for the playoffs. So, and they had it when you have a situation like this where they played the day before and then they got to go fast forward to this and it's a, it makes sense. I would have done the same thing if I was him. To me, I would have loved if James Harden would have really been aggressive last night, kind of showed that he can still go and carry a team and then carry a team to a win and dominate. He was almost a little passive last night. But yeah, to me, I think this is the right call. You can't play a guy twice within 24 hours. That's insane. Lou, does that, does that ever happen? Is that a night game? Yeah, but everyone else is in Paul and George and Kawhi Leonard with multiple injuries and surgeries in their career. Yeah, but I think I've, I think I've had this. Night game. Cause when you play for the Clippers or you play for the Lakers, a lot of times you have same day games, you know? So one team is going to play the noon game. One team is going to play the 7 p.m. game. And so I think if I'm not mistaken, I've played in a game or two in 22 hours where we've played the noon game and then the next day we play an early game as well and it's like a 22 hour window or something like that. But I mean, what's the difference? I don't know what's the difference. You know, extreme to me is four and five days and traveling across the country and things like that.  So I thought this was interesting. I'm sure the television network. It's more extreme a little much. It's, you know, the day has two basketball games. Like it's not extreme, like. Yeah, I'm reacting, I'm reacting to the word extreme. That's what I'm reacting to, but hey. Same, that, that felt weird. They found a, they found a loophole to get a guy some rest. So they did. I bet you nobody, nobody will say anything about load management this game though. Cause they definitely found a loophole in this 24 hour roll. You're like, we're not touching that one.


Oh, gotcha, Peter. Peter goes, I'm just- I'm just joking. Dude, take a look at this thing, man. Two of five! Palo Bancaro! Let's go. Laundry Tag RPA, congrats, magic! And Dave M with Orlando! Hell yeah, man. That's sick, dude. Come on, now. That is big time right there. Big time, man.


Good morning, everyone. This is the 11 o'clock Tiger Financial News Network Market Update, Basel Chapman here. It does up 600 at $30,480. We're looking at a really strong move to the upside, just an extremely oversold condition based on the Friday technicals. We're looking at a little doji candle with on balance volume giving a really strong chance of a reversal early this week and we've already got it. How can it hold? Can it even get to $30,847, which is the pink nine period exponential moving average? That's another 400 points higher than this. We'll see. Week has just begun. An hour and a half into the trading day. So anything can happen even by mid session. What we're all looking at here is that the VIX index, and I never mentioned this in my show, the Tiger Traditions, how a few moments ago I spoke about it Friday, but I forgot to mention it today, that the VIX is at $29.99. If the VIX this week goes to the 27s, that is going to really help the market sustain a move to the upside for the first time. So we're looking at the S&P. So the Dow is up 1.98%. The S&P is up 2.7%. 500 stocks are much stronger than the 30, 37.74, up 99%. I love this action, but the pink 3814, that's the nine period exponential moving average, which is above the 3810 may low before that arch formation takeout to the bottom. This is going to be important. Can it even touch it? Is it even possible this week to break above the, I think it was Wednesday, the high was on the 15th, was 3837? Is that even a possibility, or are we going to have another big turnaround over the next few days? So far, the technicals with the Doji camera on Friday and the move to the upside today, that's really helping the technicals. QQQ, NDX 100, up 283, up 3%, up 8.36%. And that's nice, it's touching the nine period moving average. The next level is 288, the 14 period moving average. That'll take it above, I think it was Thursday or Wednesdays high. We're looking at the IWM also acting quite well here, but not as good a chart pattern as the others. It's up 470 at 169. Gold is unchanged, basically up two at 1842, just kind of stuck. The dollar, meanwhile, is holding quite nicely. It's down 19 at Texas at 104.29. It's really the TLT, the bonds, they just keep going down. They can't hold games. So the yields keep going up. And that's a big thing to watch. And the crude oil is up 245. I will be sitting in for the hour. Larry Buzavento is on the show. He'll be doing the show for an hour. I'll cover a lot of the commodities and the currents. I'll be back in a couple of minutes. Stay and check out Opening Call.


And as Muslims prepare for Idil Kabeer, 357 personnel of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps will be on the streets of River State to keep the peace. The state commandant of the NSCDC, Aliou Bature, says it is to ensure a H3 celebration. The Obestation at Flashpoint to ensure nothing goes wrong. The NSCDC also wants residents to report unusual movements.


Now what's up guys, welcome to our trending reviews. So this is the Tamron 28-200 all-in-one zoom lens for Sony E-mount cameras, it is F2.8. If you haven't seen my previous video reviewing this and giving you a first look introduction to it, then check it my description below, I'll have it linked down there, or alternatively you can click up here to check that previous video. In today's one, I'm going to go out with some friends, I'm going to take a whole bunch of photos covering all the different topics you can see here on the sidebar, and I'm going to run through all of them without any commentary, so if there's anyone to check in more details, then make sure to pause the video. Now I'm going to have a whole bunch of pictures in each of these categories as well, and I'll have the EXIF data embedded on each of the pictures so you can see the things like the aperture, the focal length, and the ISO as well, and hopefully this gives you a better clarification if this lens is worth buying, depending on how the pictures come out. So without further ado, let's go out and take some pictures and let's get straight into it. Hey guys, thanks for watching, make sure you hit the like button, and then subscribe to the video, I'll see you next time.


Hello again and this month's question, because I'm doing these once a month now, is can permaculture feed the world? Well Patrick Whitefield always used to say in response to that question, can the current industrial agriculture system feed the world? And to some degree you could say well it is at the moment, but it is highly dependent on something that we've had for a very short period of time and seems to be running out, and that is fossil fuels in particular oil. And especially as many of the agrochemicals and pesticides and fertilizers that we use these days are also based on oil. So it's not just about the machines that we use that are run on oil, but also the different chemical additives if you like that we use to compensate for the fact that industrial agriculture kills the life in the soil.  So salt kills life in the soil and so when you have no life then effectively you have to compensate in some way providing what life provides, but in an artificial way at cost, energy cost, and the environmental cost. So coming back to can permaculture feed the world well. I feel that it could do a lot better job than we're doing at the moment, but of course we would have to change our approach to how we do things. We've been very much mechanising and trying to reduce the cost of food ever since the the two world wars, and the idea of needing to feed people quickly because the world was in a mess, we'd done a lot of damage, and we've just got used to paying virtually nothing for our food. And also giving over that food production to a few people. So to give you a sense of that on a permaculture course a few years ago we went to visit a community supported agriculture project which is sometimes called CSAs. And the idea is that a group of people, it's a bit like a veg box scheme, but a group of people put money in in advance usually to help pay for seeds and so on. And then and essentially so we would like you to grow this, that and the other for us. And it could be a farmer that does that or it could be a group of people who are perhaps more along the lines of permaculture who love to grow but grow on a smaller kind of less mechanised scale. And this particular place we went to see they were growing for 140 families, households around the city, and there was two of them doing kind of half half time. So one full time equivalent person growing for all of those people. And of course you don't have to go back very far into history to know that that was most certainly not the case. That's a real extreme to ask that few people to grow so much food for so many. What it's done is enable us to create the modern world which has given us many gifts but also seems to be bureaucratically extremely heavy. Far more people are probably pushing paper around or digital paper these days, crunching numbers than people actually on the land growing food. And it's disconnected us. For most of us it's completely disconnected from the land. We don't know what's in season. We don't know how to grow things. If it came to it and there was no food in the shops most of us would have no idea what to do beyond going and stealing it from places we could find it. So permaculture and the permaculture approach is very much about reminding us of what our ancestors knew already which was how to find food, sort of foraging for wild foods, but also how to grow food for ourselves. And our ancestors have given us great gift because they've passed on to us all these amazing varieties of fruit and vegetables that they've bred over many generations. And they're something really they're like they're a treasure that we really should be caring for and passing on to our descendants, the people that come later because they've been given to us and they are you know we take for granted all of those things bananas and cauliflower and carrots and so on. But our ancestors not so long ago didn't have those things. So we have these gifts and permaculture says let's look after, let's look after the landscape, let's look after the world that grows the food for us, the soil, keep the air clean and water and so on. So permaculture's approach really is very much less industrial. That's not to say that permaculture doesn't have ways of approaching things on a bigger scale, on a farm scale. There's certainly within the realm of regenerative agriculture there are approaches that we can use that build soil rather than destroy soil. But we're also very much trying to encourage us as individuals because permaculture is a grassroots thing and to look at starting to just grow some food for ourselves. We don't have to be self-sufficient. It's certainly not something permaculture is trying to get us to do because permaculture is about community and cooperation and how do we work together. But reminding us that connecting to food and as soon as you start growing some salad for yourself or potatoes and then you look at what you've been buying in the shops and you put them side by side and think my goodness these things are such different beasts particularly for things like salad because what comes out of that modified atmosphere bag has been in there for who knows how long. Whereas what you grow for yourself particularly if you're growing it with care and organically then those foods are just so much more vibrant and of course for ourselves you know that gives the health gives health to us but perhaps we had less off before because if we don't eat good food then ultimately our health will suffer and we see that in the world around us. So it's not so much about can permaculture feed the world as can permaculture look after the world in which we live in order to maintain a healthy environment and a healthy healthy us and I feel permaculture has so much to offer in that place but we do need to start thinking about doing things a little bit differently and perhaps having less massive fields with monocultures and lots more small scale growing that involves us and our communities and reducing the footprint of how far we move food particularly as it's full of water and generally pretty heavy. So I would say absolutely yes but in order to learn how you need to come on a permaculture course or watch a few more videos because there's plenty of people out there showing us how to do it.
