The great search brought to you by the Digikey native for it every single legally to use a part of engineering help you find the things that you need online on digikey.com. Thank you Digikey. We're making this segment possible. Lady, what's the great search of the week this week? Okay. This subject this week is finding replacement capacitors because I actually saw a really great thread. It's an older thread, but it was tweeted by Digikey on how to find replacement electrolytic capacitors. So first up, let me show you what we mean because there's a lot of different capacitors and by doing that, let's grab this handy dandy apple to disc to disc drive. So if you go to the overhead, focus in. Okay. So oftentimes when you're dealing, you know, there's people who want to repair or rework old designs. And, you know, it's easy to get. You can actually get electronics that it's like, you know, 30, 40 years old at this point, stuff that was made in the 80s. There's even stuff that was made in the 70s. Boy, that's that stuff. That's like 40 plus years old. And you want to repair it and it doesn't work. And you're like, well, what what can possibly go wrong? Like when you have solid state devices, which this is thankfully, there's some stuff that's going to be damaged a bull and some that kind of wasn't. Won't. So chips like this ULN, this can be blown out. Like if it got damaged or from static electricity, but like the resistors, like resistors don't really go bad. Resistors are resistors. They sort of last forever unless there's mechanical strain. There's also ceramic capacitors here. These little yellow blobby ones. Those are ceramic capacitors. These big yellow discs are also ceramic capacitors. Those also tend not to go bad. These red blobby ones. Those are film polymer, pretty sure. They do sometimes go bad, but not super, super often. They're fairly more durable. Tantalums definitely dry out and electrolytics absolutely fail. And it's very common to see people talking about like recapping a motherboard or, you know, an arcade cabinet because the electrolytic capacitors dry out or the electrolyte inside. There's this liquid. It can flow out and you can also corrode the board around it. And so thankfully, it's very easy to find replacements. Oh, I think this is a tantalum, actually. You can see the plus. This might be a tantalum capacitor. Kind of hard to see. It's fairly easy to replace electrolytic capacitors. And Digikey has them in like every stock, shape and size. And so this thread, so let's go to the computer, is actually kind of neat and looks like they're still kind of up, you know, they have two threads. There is this one, which is like a massive thread. Sorry, there's this. This one is a tutorial thread.  It's like, man, that's so great. You know, exactly what you're looking for. One microfarad, 50 volt capacitor. It has some tips and tricks. Temperature rating, you know, whether you do temperature rating and then the sizing, you can, of course, measure it. He says this one is a little bit more challenging because it's when you have surface mount, you don't have markings on the side. You have usually only markings on the top. And the markings are not as obvious as these large, two hole ones where they say like they literally print out all the details. So for this one, you want to look at, there's almost always going to be three lines. The top line is the capacitance. The second line is the voltage rating, which is confusing because it's a letter. And then sometimes it's like a temperature or model HB. And then the third one is a lock code. Again, this isn't like 100%, but it's like almost every single time it's going to be these three numbers. And one thing that's a little confusing is if you have large capacitance, this can be, let's say you have like a 2,200 microfarad capacitor, 2200, 2200. This would be 222 because it would be 22 plus two zeros. Right, let's take a resistor code. We have two digits of like numeric data and then last digit is a number of zeros to put afterwards. But 2200 isn't 2200, it's actually 220. So 2200 and 221 are actually the same number, 220 microfarad. So it's a little counterintuitive. If it's 22 only, that's 22 microfarad. And then if it's 2.2 or like, you know, 2U2 or whatever, it's 2.2. So it's a little bit different than resistors. And then here's what I didn't realize. So first off the series code, you can search on Digi-Key by series code. And so in this case, HB will tell you and that'll give you like hours rating and maybe like the physical size. But what I didn't realize is that letter underneath the number is the rating and the rating codes are like it's done by letter and it's consistent across. And then I like started looking at all my capacitors. Oh my God, you're right, it's consistent. J for 6.3, A for 10 volts, C for 16 volts, E for 25, V for 35 and H for 50. So when you're looking at a capacitor, you can use those numbers to quickly figure out what it is and then use the Digi-Key search to locate a capacitor with the same physical size and microfarad capacitance and the voltage, which are the three things that are most important. And then what's neat is that there is like a lot of people posting and you can like check out these threads. And like you can, like I kind of think it would be a really good quiz time thing. It's like, okay, quick. Can you find me this component replacement? So this one, they have a question like, is this a 33 microfarad or 330? And it's 330 despite this zero is confusing and it's six volt. They don't have the J, so they just say six V, which is, you know, fine. And then, you know, somebody replied and said, hey, you know, here's what I think it is. This one is pretty easy. It's a 100 microfarad, 160 volts. And then even says on the side, 85 degrees C. There are ones that are higher temperature rating.  So this is 100, so 100 microfarad. And then VHA, and then remember, the first letter is going to be the voltage rating. So if you go up to here, this handy guide, 35 volts, because it's got a V. HA is the family, so you can search by HA and then one H3 is the lock code. And you can see this, they're actually people helping each other. This 47 microfarad, 50 volts, 47 microfarad, but then it's like, what is this U? I don't know if they have the U. This might not be clear. So they said, oh, UD, oh, sorry, the C is afterwards. So the C, this is the 47 microfarad and it's not UD is the lock code. C here is 16 volts. So you have to kind of like know where to look. Let's see, and then more people posting all sorts of capacitors. Check this out. Okay, and then this one is sneaky, apparently. This one is normally 47, 470, but turns out it's 47.  It's a 47 microfarad and 16 volts. Okay, so some examples, so check out that thread. So I thought we would do one live by looking at this one on my desk. So let's go to the overhead and we'll pick it out. Okay, so I happened to know this is because I placed this component, but I figured it's good practice. So 220, 220 microfarads and then you see that J and then by looking at the table that I showed you from that Digikey tech thread, 6.3 volts, then you take your calipers and you measure the diameter, 6.5 volts. And then you measure the depth. It's a little bit, it's a little tough to hold on. Depth, six millimeters. So 6.5 millimeters by six millimeters. So then let's go to Digikey and go to the computer and we'll look for 22 microfarads, 6.3 volts. You know, it's funny, it would be cool if I could use like chat to PT to search this. So there's some web tools that you could point it at certain websites. And I think there's a debate about the robots.txt. Some of these tools can scrape them or whatever. Bart, I think you could point certain things. And what I think is gonna happen is maybe even after this video, someone's going to use one of these tools to show you how to navigate a site like Digikey and there'll probably be some helpful things or Digikey who, they're pretty sharp. I think they did the like Digikey Alexa thing where you can ask Alexa for certain things with Digikey. They might be working on that now to be straight up with everyone out there. We're working on looking at our own data and only our own data and having an answer questions about like things in our learn guide. It'll be like, it's tough, it's tough. So we're probably not going to use but the idea of being on the cutting edge with technology and microcontrollers and all this stuff is we try a lot of stuff and some stuff we won't use but it's kind of up to us to be on the forefront of some of these tools. So if anyone is using any of these current tools like chat to BT with any of the plug-ins or Bard which can browse the web, let us know how you're using it with something like Digikey and maybe we'll put it in Descobal data. Okay, back to you. All right, thank you. So I searched for 220 microfiber at 6.3 and it's like, yes, you obviously want a electrolytic capacitor. I could have typed in electrolytic but anytime you're looking for a voltage, if you just put it capacitance and the voltage is like, yeah, that's not a ceramic. Let's look for active. And your question is it polar or bipolar? And then if you go to the overhead real fast, if you have this black marking, that's the polarization mark. That's the negative. And so if you see that black mark or a negative sign on the side, hold on, I'll show on this board. You see that there's a negative arrow and it's like a little negative sign.  So that means it's polar. Okay, so let's go back to the computer. So I'm gonna select polar and also dash can place that includes it. And I'm gonna look for a surface mount, although if I'm looking for replacements for that disc two, I will be looking for an axial through hole. Let's also look for only ones in stock. And then we want to pick one that's the same size. And so diameter, remember it was 6.3 and then the height was around six. You know, I'm gonna say, hey, maybe it's okay if it's a little bit higher. But of course, depending on what we're replacing, just make sure you have clearance. But it's always okay to pick a taller one as long as it fits in that footprint. Next question, lifetime temp and operating temperature. This is totally dependent on the functionality of the product. Most are 1,000 hours at 105 degrees C. You can get 2,000, some medical devices or some devices that have extreme temperatures want a little bit better lifetime rating. Of course, that isn't like total runtime. That's just like at extremely high temperatures. And then operating temperature. I'm not gonna ignore this because it doesn't matter. They have some use cases. Whipple currents, this is all related to the ESR, the internal impedance. The lower the impedance, the more you're going to pay. Basic power supplies, actually you don't really have to worry too much. Usually it can go with the cheapest, but it depends if the power supply for your device really does need to have a good quality low ESR, pay more. On the flip side, if you're fixing up these old retro tech things, a lot of them were not made with, they didn't have the highest quality components at the time. We get stuff for so much cheaper these days because it's so much easier to manufacture that I think even the most basic electrolytic capacitor is gonna be fine for replacing just about any motherboard or arcade or game. Okay, so let's, hold on. I wanted to, oh yeah, so I applied that. And then, you know, I'll just for fun, I'll just say cut tape because I only need a few to replace it. So I'll just make sure I can buy them in a small strip. And then there are a few families. So if you look at on the overhead again, sorry, I'm gonna hop back and forth as I do this replacement. This one does have a family code on it, FN. Sometimes you're not gonna, you know, it's not like happens, I believe this is the Panasonic or Chemicon or Nuchion, but sometimes you're using these kind of, you're replacing a generic company. The capacitor may not, the family may not exist because the company doesn't exist anymore, but in this case it does. So can you go back to the computer and we'll select FN. Although again, it's not really essential to do so. And then boom, this is it. And this does look familiar. The Panasonic FN00JO, that's the data sheet, sorry. Yep, that looks right. 220 FN, that's the code. Yeah, that's, you know, it will even give you the marking so you can make sure the series and the code and the capacitance is identified correctly and they're in stock. So if I, you know, if I have to replace a device that had that electrolyte capacitor, this would be the link I could use. That's a great search.


Day one of covering every SCP on the SCP wiki in under 60 seconds. Go! SCP-001 is a spiral path that always goes uphill no matter how far you walk. Wait, no. It's a problem with a database that makes anything placed in the 001 slot be true. No, wait. It's a harrowing story about how the sun goes wrong and destroys the world. Wait, no. It's a dozen different articles that have nothing to do with each other except the number they share. And some of them completely contradict one another.


To Atticus at Athens, Rome, July, by Marcus Tullius Cicero, translated by Evelyn Charlie Shuckburg. The state of things in regard to my candidature, in which I know that you are supremely interested, is this, as far as can be as yet conjectured. The only person actually canvassing is P. Siposius Galba. He meets with a good old fashioned refusal without reserve or disguise. In the general opinion this premature canvass of his is not unfavorable to my interests, for the voters generally give as a reason for their refusal that they are under obligations to me. So I hope my prospects are, to a certain degree, improved by the report getting about that my friends are found to be numerous. My intention was to begin my own canvass just at the very time that Cicius tells me that your servant starts with this letter, namely in the canvass at the time of the Tribuntian elections of the 17th of July. My fellow candidates, to mention only those who seem certain, are Galba and Antoneus and Cucornificius. At this I imagine you smiling or sighing.  I don't think Aquileus will, for he openly disclaims it, and has alleged as an excuse his health and his leading position at the bar. Catiline will certainly be a candidate, if you can imagine a jury finding that the sun does not shine at noon. As for Ophidius and Palaeconus, I don't think you will expect to hear from me about them. Of the candidates for this year's election, Caesar is considered certain. Thermus is looked upon as the rival of Solanus. These latter are so weak, both in friends and reputation, that it seems past impossible to bring in curious over their heads. But no one else thinks so. What seems most to my interest is that Thermus should get in with Caesar, for there is none of those at present canvassing who, if left over to my year, seem likely to be a stronger candidate, from the fact that he is commissioner of the Via Flannigna, and when that has been finished, I shall be greatly relieved to have seen him elected, consul this election. Such an outline is the position of affairs in regard to candidates up to date. For myself, I shall take the greatest pains to carry out all the duties of a candidate. And perhaps, as Gaul seems to have a considerable voting power, as soon as business at Rome has come to a standstill, I shall obtain a libera legatio and make an excursion in the course of September to visit Piso, but so as not to be back later than January. When I have ascertained the feelings of the nobility, I will write you word. Everything else I hope will go smoothly, at any rate, while my competitors are such as are now in town. You must undertake to secure for me the entourage of our friend Pompey, since you are nearer than I. Tell him I shall not be annoyed if he doesn't come to my election. So much for that business. But there is a matter for which I am very anxious that you should forgive me. Your uncle Sicilius, having been defrauded of a large sum of money by P. Various, began an action against his cousin, A. Caninius Satyrus, for the property which, as he alleged, the latter has received from Various by a collusive sale. He was joined in this action by the other creditors, among whom were Leculis and P. Scipio, and the man whom they thought would be official receiver if the property was put up for sale, Lucius Pontius, though it is ridiculous to be talking about a receiver at this stage in the proceedings. Sicilius asked me to appear for him against Satyrus. Now scarcely a day passes that Satyrus does not call at my house. The chief object of his attention is El Demisius, but I am next in his regard. He has been of great service both to myself and to my brother Quintus in our elections. I was very much embarrassed by my intimacy with Satyrus as well as with that of Demisius, on whom the success of my election depends more than on anyone else. I pointed up these facts to Sicilius. At the same time I assured him that if the case had been won exclusively between himself and Satyrus, I would have done what he wished. As the matter actually stood, all the creditors being concerned, and that two men of the highest rank who, without the aid of anyone specially retained by Sicilius, would have no difficulty in maintaining their common cause, it was only fair that he should have consideration both for my private friendship and my present situation. He seemed to take this somewhat less courteously than I could have wished, or than is usual among gentlemen, and from that time forth he has entirely withdrawn from the intimacy with me which was only a few days standing. Pray forgive me, and believe that I was prevented by nothing but natural kindness from assailing the reputation of a friend in so vital a point at a time of such very great distress. Knowing that he had shown me every sort of kindness and attention. But if you incline to the harsher view of my conduct, take it that the interest of my canvas prevented me. Yet, even granting that to be so, I think you should pardon me. Since not for sacred beast or oxide shield, you see, in fact, the position I am in, and how necessary I regard it. Not only to retain, but even to acquire, all possible sources of popularity. I hope I have justified myself in your eyes. I am at any rate anxious to have done so. The hermethena you sent I am delighted with. It has been placed with such charming effect that the whole gymnasium seems arranged specially for it. I am exceedingly obliged to you. Read of To Atticus at Athens by Marcus Tullius Cicero. Reading by Bologna Times. To the Royal Academy of Farting by Benjamin Franklin. Gentlemen, I have perused your late mathematical prize question, proposed in lieu of one in natural philosophy, for the ensuing year, viz, une figure quelconque donnais, on demand y inscrire le plus grand nombre de fois possible, une autre figure plus petite quelconque, qui est aussi donnais. I was glad to find by these following words. L'académie en jugée se cette découverte, en entendre les brandes de nos connoissants, ne serois pas sans utilité. That you esteem utility an essential point in your enquiries, which has not always been the case with all academies. And I would conclude, therefore, that you have given this question instead of a philosophical, or as the learned express it, a physical one, because you could not at the time think of a physical one that promised greater utility. Permit me, then, humbly to propose one of that sort for your consideration, and through you, if you approve it, for the serious enquiry of learned physicians, chemists, and etc. of this enlightened age. It is universally well known that in digesting our common food, there is created, or produced, in the bowels of human creatures, a great quantity of wind. That the permitting this air to escape, and mix with the atmosphere, is usually offensive to the company from the fented smell that accompanies it. It all well bred people, therefore, to avoid giving such offence, forcibly restrain the efforts of nature to discharge that wind. That so retained, contrary to nature, it not only gives frequently great present pain, but occasions future diseases, such as habitual colics, ruptures, tympanies, etc., often destructive of the constitution, and sometimes of life itself. Were it not for the odiously offensive smell accompanying such escapes, polite people would probably be under no more restraint in discharging such wind in company, than they are in spitting or in blowing their noses. My prize question therefore should be to discover some drug, wholesome and not disagreeable, to be mixed with our common food, or sauces, that shall render the natural discharges of wind from our bodies not only inoffensive, but agreeable as perfumes. That this is not a chimerical project, and altogether impossible, may appear from these considerations. That we already have some knowledge of means capable of varying that smell. He that dines on stale flesh, especially with much addition of onions, shall be able to afford a stink that no company can tolerate, while he that has lived for some time on vegetables only shall have that breath so pure as to be insensible to the most delicate noses. And if he can manage so as to avoid the report, he may anywhere give vent to his griefs unnoticed. But as there are many to whom an entire vegetable diet would be inconvenient, and as a little quick lime thrown into a jakes will correct the amazing quantity of fetid air arising from the vast mass of putrid matter contained in such places, and render it rather pleasing to the smell, who knows but that a little powder of lime, or some other equivalent taken in our food, or perhaps a glass of lime water drank at dinner, may have the same effect on the air produced in and issuing from our bowels. This is worth the experiment. Certain it is also that we have the power of changing by slight means the smell of another discharge, that of our water.  And why should it be thought more impossible in nature to find means of making a perfume of our wind than of our water? For the encouragement of this inquiry, from the immortal honour to be reasonably expected by the inventor, let it be considered of how small importance to mankind, or to how small a part of mankind have been useful, those discoveries in science that have here to fore made philosophers famous. Are there twenty men in Europe at this day the happier, or even the easier, for any knowledge they have picked out of Aristotle? What comfort can the vortices of Descartes give to a man who has whirlwinds in his bowels? The knowledge of Newton's mutual attraction of the particles of matter, can it afford ease to him who is wrecked by their mutual repulsion and the cruel distensions it occasions? The pleasure arising to a few philosophers from seeing, a few times in their life, the threads of light untwisted and separated by the Newtonian prism into seven colours, can it be compared with the ease and comfort every man living might feel seven times a day by discharging freely the wind from his bowels, especially if it be converted into a perfume? For the pleasures of one sense, being little inferior to those of another, instead of pleasing the sight, he might delight the smell of those about him and make numbers happy, which, to a benevolent mind, must afford infinite satisfaction. The generous soul, who now endeavours to find out whether the friends he entertains like best Claret or Burgundy, Champagne or Madeira, would then inquire also whether they chose Musk or Lily, Rose or Bergamot, and provide accordingly. And surely such a liberty of expressing one's sentiments, and pleasing one another, is of infinitely more importance to human happiness than that liberty of the press or of abusing one another, which the English are so ready to fight and die for. In short, this invention, if completed, would be, as Bacon expresses it, bringing philosophy home to men's business and bosoms. I cannot but conclude that in comparison therewith, for universal and continual utility, the science of the philosophers above mentioned, even with the addition, gentlemen, of your figure quelconque, and the figures inscribed in it, are altogether scarcely worth a farthing. And of to the Royal Academy of Farting by Benjamin Franklin, read by Rick Rodstrom. When a man comes to himself by Woodrow Wilson. This is a LibriVox recording, all LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. When a man comes to himself by Woodrow Wilson, Doctor of Philosophy, Doctor of Letters, Doctor of Laws, President of the United States, 1901. It is a very wholesome and regenerating change which a man undergoes when he comes to himself. It is not only after periods of recklessness or infatuation, when he has played the spendthrift or the fool, that a man comes to himself. He comes to himself after experiences of which he alone may be aware, when he has left off being wholly preoccupied with his own powers and interests, and with every petty plan that centers in himself, when he has cleared his eyes to see the world as it is, in his own true place and function in it. It is a process of disillusionment, the scales have fallen away, he sees himself soberly and knows under what conditions his powers must act, as well as what his powers are. He has got rid of earlier prepossessions about the world of men and affairs, both those which were too favorable and those which were too unfavorable, both those of the nursery and those of a young man's reading. He has learned his own paces, or at any rate is in a fair way to learn them, has found his footing in the true nature of the going he must look for in the world, over what sorts of roads he must expect to make his running, and at what expenditure of effort wither his goal lies, and what cheer he may expect by the way. It is a process of disillusionment, but it disheartens no soundly made man, it brings him into a light which guides instead of deceiving him, a light which does not make the way look cold to any man whose eyes are fit for use in the open, but which shines wholesomely rather upon the obvious path, like the honest rays of the frank sun, and makes traveling both safe and cheerful. There is no fixed time in a man's life at which he comes to himself, and some men never come to themselves at all. It is a change reserved for the thoroughly sane and healthy, and for those who can detach themselves from tasks and drudgery long and often enough to get, at any rate once and again, a view of the proportions of life and of the stage and plot of its action. We speak often with amusement, sometimes with distaste and uneasiness, of men who have no sense of humor, who take themselves too seriously, who are intense, self-absorbed, overconfident in matters of opinion, who else go plumed with conceit, proud of what we cannot tell what, enjoying, appreciating, thinking of nothing so much as themselves. These are men who have not suffered that wholesome change. They have not come to themselves. If they be serious men and real forces in the world, we may conclude that they have been too much and too long absorbed, that their tasks and responsibilities long ago rose about them like a flood, and have kept them swimming with sturdy stroke the years through, their eyes level with the troubled surface, no horizon in sight, no passing fleets, no comrades, but those who struggled in the flood, like themselves. If they be frivolous, light-headed men without purpose or achievement, we may conjecture, if we do not know, that they were born so, or spoiled by fortune, or befuddled by self-indulgence. It is of no great matter what we think of them. It is enough to know that there are some laws which govern a man's awakening to know himself, and the right part to play. A man is the part he plays among his fellows, he is not isolated, he can't be. His life is made up of the relations he bears to others, is made or marred by those relations, guided by them, judged by them, expressed in them. There is nothing else upon which he can spend his spirit, nothing else that we can see. It is by these he gets his spiritual growth, it is by these we see his character revealed, his purpose, and his gifts. Some play with a certain natural passion, an unstudied directness, without grace, without modulation, with no study of the masters or consciousness of the pervading spirit of the plot. Others give all their thought to their costume, and think only of the audience, a few act as those who have mastered the secrets of a serious art, with deliberate subordination of themselves to the great end and motive of the play, spending themselves like good servants, indulging no wilfulness, obtruding no eccentricity, lending heart and tone and gesture to the perfect progress of the action. These have found themselves, and have all the ease of a perfect adjustment. Adjustment is exactly what a man gains when he comes to himself. Some men gain it late, some early, some get it all at once, as if by one distinct act of deliberate accommodation. Others get it by degrees and quite imperceptibly. No doubt the most men it comes by slow processes of experience, at each stage of life a little. College man feels the first shock of it at graduation, when the boy's life has been lived out, and the man's life suddenly begins. He has measured himself with boys, he knows their code, and feels the spur of their ideals of achievement. But what the world expects of him, he has yet to find out, and it works when he has discovered a veritable revolution in his ways, both of thought and of action. He finds a new sort of fitness demanding of him, executive, thoroughgoing, careful of details, full of drudgery and obedience to orders. Everybody is ahead of him. Just now he was a senior, at the top of the world he knows and reigned in, a finished product and pattern of good form. Of a sudden he is a novice again, as green in his first school year, being a thing that seems to have no rules, at sea amid crosswinds and a bit seasick with awe. Presently, if he be made of stuff that will shake into shape and fitness, he settles to his task and is comfortable. He has come to himself, understands what capacity is, and what it is meant for, sees that his training was not for ornament or personal gratification, but to teach him how to use himself and develop faculties worth using. As forth there is a zest in action, and he loves to see his strokes tell. The same thing happens to the lad come from the farm into the city, a big and novel field where crowds rush and jostle, and a rustic boy must stand puzzled for a little haul to use, his classic and unjaded strength. It happens too, though in a deeper and more subtle way, to the man who marries for love, if the love be true and fit for foul weather. Mr. Badger used to say that a bachelor was an amateur at life, and wit and wisdom are married in the jest. A man who lives only for himself has not begun to live, has yet to learn his use, and his real pleasure too, in the world. It is not necessary he should marry to find himself out, but it is necessary he should love.  It is unselfish action growing slowly into the high habit of devotion, and at last it may be into a sort of consecration that teaches a man the wide meaning of his life, and makes him a steady professional in living. If the motive be not necessity, but love. He may make a mere drudge of a man, and no mere drudge ever made a professional of himself. That demands a higher spirit, and a finer incentive, than he is. 3. Surely a man has come to himself only when he has found the best, that is in him, and has satisfied his heart with the highest achievement he has fit for. It is only then that he knows of what he is capable and what his heart demands. Not assuredly no thoughtful man ever came to the end of his life, and had time and a little space of calm from which to look back upon it, who did not know and acknowledge that it was what he had done, unselfishly and for others, and nothing else, that satisfied him in the retrospect, and made him feel that he had played the man. That alone seems to him the real measure of himself, the real standard of his manhood. And so men grow by having responsibility laid upon them, the burden of other people's business. Their powers are put out at interest, and they get usury in kind. They are like men multiplied, each counts manifold. Men who live with an eye only upon what is their own are dwarfed beside them, seem fractions, while they are integers. The trustworthiness of men trusted seems often to grow with the trust. It is for this reason that men are in love with power and greatness. It affords them so pleasurable an expansion of faculty, so large a run of their minds, an exercise of spirit so various and refreshing. They have the freedom of so wide a tract of the world affairs. And if they use power only for their own ends, if there be no unselfish service in it, if its object be only their personal aggrandizement, their love to see other men tools in their hands, they go out of the world small, disquieted, beggared, no enlargement of soul vaults save them, no usury of satisfaction. They have added nothing to themselves. Mental and physical powers alike grow by use, as everyone knows, their labor for oneself is like exercise in a gymnasium. No healthy man can remain satisfied with it, or regarded as anything but a preparation for tasks in the open amid the affairs of the world, not sport but business, where there is no orderly apparatus, and every man must devise the means by which he is to make the most of himself. To make the most of himself means the multiplication of his activities, and he must turn away from himself for that. He looks about him, studies the facts of business or of affairs, catches some intimation of their larger objects, is guided by the intimation, and presently finds himself part of the motive force of communities or of nations. It makes no difference how small a part, how insignificant, how unnoticed. When his powers begin to play outward, and he loves the task at hand, not because it gains him a livelihood, but because it makes him a life, he has come to himself. Necessity is no mother to enthusiasm. Necessity carries a whip, its method is compulsion, not love. It has no thought to make itself attractive, and is content to drive. Enthusiasm comes with the revelation of true and satisfying objects of devotion, and it is enthusiasm that sets the powers free. It is a sort of enlightenment. Shine straight upon ideals, and for those who see it, the race and struggle are henceforth toward these. An instance will point the meaning. One of the most distinguished and most justly honored of our great philanthropists spent the major part of his life absolutely absorbed in the making of money, so it seems to those who did not know him. In fact, he had very early passed the stage at which he looked upon his business as a means of support or of material comfort. Business had become for him an intellectual pursuit, a study in enterprise and increment. The field of commerce lay before him like a chessboard. The moves interested him like the maneuvers of a game. More money was more power, a great advantage in the game, the means of shaping men and events and markets, to his own ends and uses. It was his will that set fleets afloat and determined the havens they were bound for. It was his foresight that brought goods to market at the right time. It was his suggestion that made the industry of unthinking men ethicacious. His sagacity saw itself justified at home not only, but at the ends of the earth. And as the money poured in, his government and mastery increased, and his mind was even more satisfied. It is so that men make little kingdoms for themselves, and an international power undarkened by diplomacy, undirected by parliaments. Four. It is a mistake to suppose that the great captains of industry, the great organizers and directors of manufacture and commerce and monetary exchange, are engrossed in a vulgar pursuit of wealth. Too often they suffer the vulgarity of wealth to display itself in the idleness and ostentation of their wives and children, who devote themselves, it may be, to expense, regardless of pleasure. But we ought not to misunderstand even that, or condemn it unjustly. The masters of industry are often too busy with their own sober and momentous calling to have time or spare thought, even to govern their own households. A king may be too faithful a statesman to be a watchful father. These men are not fascinated by the glitter of gold. The appetite for power has got hold upon them. They are in love with the exercise of their faculties upon a great scale. They are organizing and overseeing a great part of the life of the world. No wonder they are captivated. Business is more interesting than pleasure, as Mr. Badgett said, and when once the mind has cut its zest there is no disengaging it. The world has reason to be grateful for the fact. It was this fascination that had got hold upon the faculties of the man whom the world was afterward to know, not as prince among merchants, for the world forgets merchant princes, but as a prince among benefactors, for beneficence breeds gratitude, admiration, admiration, fame, and the world remembers its benefactors. Business and business alone interested him, or seemed to him worthwhile. The first time he was asked to subscribe money for a benevolent object he declined. Why should he subscribe? What affair would he set forward? What increase of efficiency would the money buy? What return would it bring in? Was good money to be simply given away, like water poured on a barren soil, to be sucked up and yielding nothing? It was not until men who understood benevolence on its sensible, systematic, practical, and really helpful side explained it to him, as an investment that his mind took hold of it and turned to it for satisfaction. He began to see that education was a thing of infinite usury, that money devoted to it would yield a singular increase to which there was no calculable end, an increase in perpetuity, increase of knowledge, and therefore of intelligence and efficiency, touching generation after generation with new impulses, adding to the sum total of the world's fitness for affairs, an invisible but intensely real spiritual usury beyond reckoning, because compounded in an unknown ratio from age to age. Henceforward, beneficence was as interesting to him as business, was indeed a sort of sublimated business in which money moved new forces in a commerce which no man could bind or limit. He had come to himself, to the full realization of his powers, the true and clear perception of what it was his mind demanded for its satisfaction. His faculties were consciously stretched to their right measure, where at last exercised at their best. He felt the keen zest, not of success merely, but also of honor, and was raised to a sort of majesty among his fellow men who attended him in death, like a dead sovereign. He had died dwarfed, had he not broken the bonds of mere money getting, would never have known himself had he not learned how to spend it, and ambition itself could not have shown him a straighter road to fame. This is the positive side of a man's discovery of the ways in which his faculties are to be made to fit into the world's affairs, and released for effort in a way that will bring real satisfaction. There is a negative side also. Men come to themselves by discovering their limitations no less than by discovering their deeper endowments and the mastery that will make them happy. It is the discovery of what they cannot do, and not to attempt that transforms reformers into statesmen, and great should be the joy of the world over every reformer who comes to himself. The spectacle is not rare, the method is not hidden. The practicability of every reform is determined absolutely, and always by the circumstances of the case, and only those who put themselves into the midst of affairs, either by action or by observation, can know what those circumstances are or perceive what they signify. No statesman dreams of doing whatever he pleases. He knows that it does not follow that because a point of morals or a policy is obvious to him, it will be obvious to the nation, or even to his friends. And it is the strength of a democratic policy that there are so many minds to be consulted and brought to agreement, and that nothing can be wisely done for which the thought and a good deal more than the thought of the country. Its sentiments and its purpose have not been prepared. Social reform is a matter of cooperation, and if it be of a novel kind, requires an infinite deal of converting to bring the efficient majority to believe in it and support it. Without their agreement and support, it is impossible. Five. It is this that the more imaginative and impatient reformers find out when they come to themselves if that calming change ever comes to them. Oftentimes the most immediate and drastic means of bringing them to themselves is to elect them to legislative or executive office. That will reduce over-sanguine persons to their simplest terms. Not because they find their fellow legislators or officials incapable of high purpose or indifferent to the betterment of the communities which they represent. Only cynics hold that to be the chief reason why we approach the millennium so slowly, and cynics are usually very ill-informed persons. Nor is it because under our modern democratic arrangements we sow subdivide power and balance parts in government that no one man can tell for much or turn affairs to his will. One of the most instructive studies a politician could undertake would be a study of the infinite limitations laid upon the power of the Russian Tsar, notwithstanding the despotic theory of the Russian Constitution. Limitations of social habit, of official prejudice, of race jealousies, of religious predilections, of administrative machinery even, and the inconvenience of being himself only one man caught amidst a rush of duties and responsibilities which never hulk or pause. He can do only what can be done with the Russian people. He cannot change them at will. He is himself of their own stuff and immersed in the life which forms him, so it forms him. He is simply the leader of the Russians. An English or American statesman is better off. He leads a thinking nation, not a race of peasants, topped by a class of revolutionists and a cast of nobles and officials. He can explain new things to men able to understand, persuade men willing and accustomed to make independent and intelligent choices of their own. An English statesman has an even better opportunity to lead than an American statesman, because in England executive power and legislative initiative are both entrusted to the same grand committee, the Ministry of the Day. The ministers both propose what shall be law and determine how it shall be enforced when enacted. And yet English reformers, like American, have found office a veritable cold water bath over their ardor for change. Many a man who has made his place in affairs as a spokesman of those who see abuses and demand their reformation has passed from denunciation to calm and moderate advice when he got into Parliament and has turned veritable conservative when made a minister of the Crown. Mr. Bright was a notable example. Slow and careful men had looked upon him as little better than a revolutionist as long as his voice rang free and impureus from the platforms of public meetings. They greatly feared the influence he should exercise in Parliament, and would have deemed the Constitution itself unsafe could they have foreseen that he would some day be invited to take office in a hand of direction in affairs. But it turned out that there was nothing to fear. Mr. Bright lived to see almost every reform he had urged, accepted, and embodied in legislation. But he assisted at the process of their realization with greater and greater temperateness and wise deliberation as his part in affairs became more and more prominent and responsible, and was the last as little like an agitator as any man that served the Queen. It is not that such men lose courage when they find themselves charged with the actual directions of the affairs concerning which they had held in uttered such strong, unhesitating, drastic opinions. They have only learned discretion. For the first time they see in its entirety what it was that they were attempting. They are at last, at close quarters with the world. Men of every interest and variety crowd about them. New impressions throng them. In the midst of affairs the former special objects of their zeal fall into new environments. A better and truer perspective seemed no longer susceptible to separate and radical change. The real nature of the complex stuff of life they were seeking to work in is revealed to them. It's intricate and delicate fiber, and the subtle secret interrelationship of its parts, and they work circumspectly lest they should mar more than they mend. Moral enthusiasm is not uninstructed in of itself, a suitable guide to practicable and lasting reformation. And if the reform sought to be the reformation of others as well as of himself, the reformer should look to it that he knows the true relation of his will to the wills of those he would change and guide. When he has discovered that relation he has come to himself, has discovered his real use in planning part in the general world of men, has come to the full command in satisfying employment of his faculties, otherwise he is doomed to live forever in a fool's paradise, and can be set to have come to himself only on the supposition that he is a fool. 6.  When we say that a man has come to himself, it is not of his absolute capacity that we are thinking, but of his relative. He has begun to realize that he is part of a whole, and to know what part, suitable for what service and achievement. It was once fashionable, and that, not a very long time ago, to speak of political society with a certain distaste, as a necessary evil, an irritating but inevitable restriction upon the natural sovereignty and entire self-government of the individual. That was a dream of the egotist. It was a theory in which men were seen to strut in the proud consciousness of their several and absolute capacities. It would be as instructive as it would be difficult to count the heirs it has bred in political thinking. As a matter of fact, men have never dreamed of wishing to do without the trammels of organized society, for the very good reason that those trammels are in reality but no trammels at all, but indispensable aids and spurs to the attainment of the highest and most enjoyable things man is capable of. Political society, the life of men in states, is an abiding natural relationship. It is neither a mere convenience nor a mere necessity. It is not a mere voluntary association, not a mere corporation. It is nothing deliberate or artificial devised for a special purpose. It is in real truth the eternal and natural expression and embodiment of a form of life higher than that of the individual. That common life of mutual helpfulness, stimulation, and contest which gives leave an opportunity to the individual life, makes it possible, makes it full and complete. It is in such a scene that man looks about to discover his own place and force. In the midst of men organized, infinitely cross-related, bound by ties of interest, hope, affection, subject to authorities, to opinion, to passion, to visions and desires which no man can reckon. He casts eagerly about to find where he may enter in with arrest and be a man among his fellows. In making his place he finds, if he seeks intelligently and with eyes that see, more than ease of spirit and scope for his mind. He finds himself as if mists had cleared away about him and he knows at last his neighborhood among men and tasks. What every man seeks is satisfaction. He deceives himself so long as he imagines it to lie in self-indulgence, so long as he deems himself the center and object of effort, his mind is spent in vain upon itself, not in action itself, not in pleasure, shall it find its desires satisfied, but in consciousness of right, of powers greatly and nobly spent, comes to know itself in the motives which satisfy it, in the zest and power of rectitude. He is liberated the world, not as a system of ethics, not as a philosophy of altruism, but by its revelation of the power of pure and unselfish love. Its vital principle is not its code, but its motive. Love, clear-sighted, loyal, personal, is its breath and immortality. Christ came, not to save himself assuredly, but to save the world. His motive, his example, are every man's key to his own gifts and happiness. The ethical code he taught may no doubt be matched, here a peace and there a peace, out of other religions, other teachings and philosophies. Every thoughtful man born with a conscience must know a code of right and of pity, to which he ought to conform. But without the motive of Christianity, without love, he may be the purest altruist, and yet be as sad and as unsatisfied as Marcus Aurelius. Christianity gave us, in the fullness of time, the perfect image of right living, the secret of social and of individual well-being, for the two are not separable, and the man who receives and verifies that secret in his own living has discovered not only the best and only way to serve the world, but also the one happy way to satisfy himself. Then indeed has he come to himself. Henceforth he knows what his powers mean, what spiritual air they breathe, what orders of service clear them of lethargy, relieve them of all sense of effort, and put them at their best. After this fretfulness passes away, experience mellows and strengthens, and makes more fit. An old age brings not senility, not satiety, not regret, but higher hope and serene maturity. The end.

My name is Theresa Chiano and I'm the Partnership Manager for GoSafe, where a partnership made up of the Welsh Government, the four Welsh police forces and the 22 local authorities in Wales. Operation Snap was started by a sergeant working for GoSafe in North Wales and he was frequently contacted by his colleagues who had had reports from members of the public whether he witnessed dangerous or possibly illegal driving on the roads. Cyn Operation Snap ddod oedd rhaid i'r heddiw yma sy'n gasku fforddau diwrth yma'r eilod o'r cyhoedd, ddornol y ffe, buc yw mewn fel dystiolaeth, edrychw'r hwrs beth, lot o'ch papyr.

We can offer people the opportunity of having a warning, going on a drive education course, or alternatively a fixed penalty or going to court, so we're able to deal with people much more effectively and appropriately now. Our police constable colleagues, they don't want to knock on a door and tell someone they've lost someone, and that's what it's all about. It's about making people drive safer.

A quick and dirty analysis on Boeing for next week now I've been looking at a at the sticker and I'm actually in a calls position here for next week But I wanted to quickly cover how I will review This technical analysis I basically cleaned up the chart and all I've left is this downtrend that has been you know that had been going on ever since you know 2020 and as you can clearly see all the way from actually 2019 it started You know Coming down and then in 2020. I just really tanked You know with the pandemic and then in 2021 it kept on going because of you know economies were still closed countries We're still closed it down. So here's the big downtrend line. That's all I have. That's pretty much, you know Undisputable, I mean anybody could see that now as you can see I have also marked this very long-term support spanning back two three years almost Which has about a triple bottom if you count this one But what I like most about this is this W pattern here, which is very indicative of a recovery pattern a double bottom Because this is a triple bottom, but that's like very far away from where we are right now but recently it does have this double bottom, okay from 2022 until now and it basically broke past this neckline if you will here of the W and it is since Run up and you can clearly see it it reached Resistance right about here, which is exactly where that purple line here is That's the line of control the point of control line. Sorry from the the volume profile indicator Which is this indicator to the right here. Okay, so what do I want to do is I want to review After you know identifying the very obvious support, you know down here and trend Slash resistance line here, which it has clearly broken above I Actually want to go over this Fibonacci tool So this is the Fibonacci retracement and one of more common questions that I get is do you draw this from top to bottom or from bottom to The top well that depends what are you trying to identify in this case? We're trying to identify a retracement okay, and What we're doing here is we're gonna pick and I'm gonna go from 2021 over to 2020 Or 2023 I'm not gonna cover all though. I could I don't want to go as far back as you know 2019 So I'm gonna head go ahead and zoom in here real quick I mean basically I'm gonna pick the highest and the lowest point during that window. I Think nobody will argue that this is the highest point Okay, and I've started my tool here And I would move down towards the lowest point which would be actually right there Okay, now you can it doesn't matter if you stretch this out to the right It's still considering that as a low point You can just extend these numbers out as you can see so that you have a clear view of what those levels are And there I went a little bit too far down there, okay? So now think about this this makes sense because what I'm trying to identify is how far This down move has retraced. Okay, so I'm gonna click here All right, and close this tool and this makes sense because this has been dropping, you know Down down down down and then it hits this You know support and it bounces So it's a retracement of the downtrend So what we're talking about here when we go from top to bottom is How much has this downtrend? Retraced okay, the downtrend started or supposedly hit bottom here if it reaches this point it has retraced 23% okay, if it reaches this point it has retraced 38% if it reaches this place or this level It has retraced 50% and the you know very highly Like 61 8 or 61.8 level is as we all know one of the preferred levels and 61.8 is exactly where it's at right now where it seems to have hit some resistance All right, and it's bouncing around there It actually broke under this point of control line and as you can see actually I don't know if you can see but I'm gonna go ahead and draw a Quick support line here This is pretty much where it stagnated today and you could identify This as that level okay, so that's gonna be Actually, I don't want that to be a dashed line so Let me go ahead and Set that as a solid line Okay, and that is my only other support other than this bottom down here Okay, so that's where it seems to be bouncing around It's it's quite an important level of support and it is sandwiched between this 61 8 retracement okay, that is if we are Calculating Fibonacci going down and then retracing back up. All right It's a little bit different when you're doing it the other way around So now let's look at this as the starting point and it's going up and we want to see What the levels are for it retracing down? So let me zoom in to this level here and let me just before I do that real quick. Let me just add a very obvious New trend line forming and the reason why I'm going to draw this is because we can clearly see That Boeing is Bouncing okay, why a couple reasons number one it broke above Both of those down trend lines that we have up here This one has two touches here and the third one is way back in 2019 and this a more solid one Okay, it has one two Maybe three four Five six seven eight. Okay quite a few touches on this bottom one So it definitely broke out and cleared this bottom line Okay, this trend line so that means in my book that this trend has been broken Which trend the two pixel line trend? Okay that downtrend has been broken Because it was a very strong Resistance if you will it broke above and it has spent quite a bit of time above that trend line It has not Even come back down to retest it It's basically broken through the 23 retracement the 38 retracement the 50 retracement which is quite important And it's kind of you know hanging around this 61 a so we can say now that this line if we zoom in on this Is a new trend lined why? Well because we could very easily Just count the touches here and see what we got All right, there we go. So we're gonna have to zoom in on this a little bit more. I Want to keep this video under ten minutes? That'll be a first for me Okay, and there we go so we can see You move this a little bit more there, okay, so we've got the original Let me adjust this the original touch down here And we have quite a few touches there And then we have maybe another touch not as cleanly right there And then that's where it's touching right now and that is what we would obviously call a very important point of Confluence, okay, so what is Going on at this point of confluence. Let me bring this into focus or into view a little bit better You know we could probably Fix this line in such a way that It it touches the candle. Okay, it's the wick, but that's fine. All right, so we have Confluence here we have this line, which we just marked as a very important support level Okay, and we can see that it is bouncing off around that line and it was and it has been sandwiched in between this 618 and that support level okay, so let's Go ahead and use the Fibri tracement in the other direction Okay, so this time we want to know okay We want to get in on this right, but actually before we do that Let's go ahead and look at a pattern just a regular, you know, one five Elliott wave. Okay, so Let me see if I use the same starting point. All right, and I'm going to try to find my Elliott waves here if this is The first one. Okay, and it matches up with that 38 to that's the zero. All right There's the retracement Back to the two That's not going to work out quite as it as well as I thought there's the third one Which would have to be longer than the first one and it doesn't look it and then this would be our fourth one Okay, which would be our retracement And then we'll just let this hang here now as point number five at that 78 6 I could fix this Okay, I could fix this by adding This support Which is very clear in my opinion right there Okay, I Could add that support and I could bring this Starting point I would rather add it here All right, I would rather add it here. So I'm going to bring that support town like so Still matches up pretty nicely Okay, so there we go. Yep All right, so there's the beginning of what could be that Elliott wave drive, right? Don't particularly like this number two, but it'll have to do for now the point is what I want to get through here and I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to get rid of it because I didn't like it as much as I thought I would all right The point is we want to know okay has this retracement this you know this Corrective wave because if you remember from the Elliott wave theory it's basically an impulsive wave and then a corrective wave and then the large impulsive wave and then the corrective wave and Then one last and pulse of wave All right, and we want to know what we want to know is we want to get in on at the end of these corrective waves Right, so we don't want to get in somewhere in the middle here or in the middle here because it has more correcting to do That means that we will have a better risk to reward if we catch it at the bottom that if we catch it Somewhere in the middle so what we want to do is get in before this last wave gets in right So we want to know how much has this retraced well first of all We know that it has retraced to a point that is significant in terms of a previous support, which is there Okay at 205 ish 205 95 and now what we want to do is we want to go ahead and use the Fibonacci Oh, I didn't grab that Use the Fibonacci to see how much it retraced But we're doing it backwards now because we want to see if it went up how much has it retraced So we start all the way from down here Okay, and now This is the highest point And I'm gonna blow past these levels just so that I can move those numbers a little bit further to the right Okay, what we want to match up is that zero line up at the top Okay, and there it is. Okay, so now the zero is at the top Okay, and again, it makes sense because it has run up. This is one large move up, right? Which is what that yellow trend line here is denoting It's made how far back has it retraced and as we can see here This is our zero. It has not retraced all the way not even to the 23 6 line so it hasn't yet retraced 23.6 percent Okay, which would be another Which would be the first place where I would get into this trade But because I'm liking the confluence with the trend line and I'm liking that support It would have been great if it would have lined up, but it didn't that's fine so what we're gonna do is we're going to Go ahead and probably take this trade on I'm already in it. Like I said, let's zoom in here a little bit more Remember, this is the daily. All right I'm gonna have to zoom in a little bit more so what we could do is if I was not already in this trade then I would Start right now because it is at a point where I believe could be a good starting point for the beginning of this next wave, right? But I would leave an add open position, you know add to open position in case it does reach this 23 6 Which also coincides quite nicely with the 50% Downward retracement that we had been talking about from the 2021 all the way to 2023 Okay, so that would be another Confluence level which I could actually mark Okay, so this would be one place to get in Okay, that was not very good Let me go ahead and do a circle Geometric shape. All right Okay, so this could be the first place to get in and and This would definitely definitely be another place to get in Right. Oh, I didn't grab that. It's not locked Okay, this would be another place to get in sometime this week before Boeing actually keeps You know moving north. All right, so that was what I wanted to cover It's a little bit of Fibonacci a little bit of Elliott wave and some quick and dirty support and Resistance as well as trend lines to look at a play at a play that I'm looking at for next week. All right, so I hope you guys have found this Educational and informative and if you did or didn't go ahead and drop me a line in the comments below. See you next time
